Frequently asked questions
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are small nano-sized vesicles that are produced and released by cells in the body.
Exosomes contain a variety of molecules including proteins, RNA (ribonucleic acid), lipids (fats) and other
bioactive substances. The contents of exosomes vary depending on the type of cell they were derived from.
What is the function of an Exosome?
Once exosomes are secreted or pushed outside a cell they play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication with the ability to transfer information and change the behaviour of neighbouring cells.
It is important to note that Exosome's are not cells themselves; they are small vesicles released by cells and are incapable of reproduction. Their main function is to influence other cells and this characteristic gives them a favourable safety profile.
Are Exosomes Stem Cells?
No. Exosomes are secreted/ pushed out of cells in the body, they cannot replicate or transform because they
are cell-free and DNA free. As the surfaces of exosomes do not contain any immune markers, they are unlikely to be rejected by the body.
Is it safe when pregnant or breast feeding?
