Are Exosomes A Viable Therapy For Pregnancy Complications?
Journal Title: Reproductive Immunology: Open Access - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles actively produced and released by all cell types of the body including stem cells. They act as intracellular communicators carrying proteins, mRNA, miRNA and DNA as well as expressing cell surface markers inherent to their parent cell. Exosomes are increasing emerging as effective therapeutics in immune and regenerative therapy and as such are becoming an effective alternative to stem cell therapy and an adjunct to immunotherapy.
