Exosome therapy in Turkey

What is Exosome?

Exosomes are small vesicles secreted by stem cells that provide messaging and communication between cells. Thanks to these vesicles, it is an innovative application that aims to provide stem cell effect without giving stem cells to the patient.

Exosomes promote the repair of damaged tissues by providing communication between cells, reducing pain and inflammation, reducing edema, reducing swelling and increasing joint movement. This application can be used in various fields such as skin regeneration, hair loss, treatment of joint and muscle pain. Exosomes are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and accelerate the healing process at the cellular level. 

Orthopedic Applications of Exosomes

Exosomes have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their potential effects in the field of orthopedics. These small vesicles are used in various applications such as tissue healing, reduction of inflammation and acceleration of regenerative processes due to their cellular repair-promoting properties.

Repair of Cartilage Damage

Cartilage tissue has a limited capacity for self-renewal and therefore exosomes have emerged as a promising supplement for the repair of cartilage damage. Exosomes can promote the proliferation of cartilage cells (chondrocytes) and reduce inflammation, helping cartilage tissue to regenerate more quickly and effectively. This process takes place thanks to the growth factors and other biologically active molecules carried by exosomes.

Joint Diseases and Osteoarthritis

Degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis are characterized by wear and inflammation of the joint surfaces. Exosomes, thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties, can reduce intra-articular inflammation and improve joint function. Therefore, exosome-based applications can be considered a promising support alternative for patients with osteoarthritis.

Bone Healing

Bone fractures and bone tissue damage are a serious health problem, especially in the elderly. Exosomes have the potential to accelerate bone healing and can increase the activity of bone-building cells called osteoblasts. These vesicles carry signals that promote bone mineralization and may allow bone tissue to regenerate stronger and more robust.

Muscle Recovery and Muscle Atrophy Treatment

Muscle injuries and muscle atrophy are common problems among orthopedic diseases. Exosomes can promote the regeneration of muscle cells and prevent the loss of muscle tissue. With exosome administration, it can help muscles recover faster by enabling muscle cells to take up growth factors and other reparative molecules.

Exosomes are seen as a high-potential application in orthopedic applications where regenerative medicine can be used in many more areas in the future. Their effects on cartilage, bone and muscle tissue can accelerate cellular regeneration processes. Numerous researches are ongoing for the use of exosomes in clinical applications.
