Role of MSC-Derived Exosomes in Healing the Injured Spinal Cord – Interview with Dr. Askenase
This is an interview with Philip Askenase, MD, Professor of Medicine and Pathology at Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Askenase is an expert in the effector properties of exosomes who is now beginning to study mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes and their role in regenerative processes.
Specifically, Dr. Askenase’s new unpublished preliminary work is focused on the role of MSC-derived exosomes in healing the injured spinal cord in rats.
In this interview, we discuss the growing importance of MSC-derived exosomes, including their advantages and applications. We also explore the market potential for stem cell exosomes, as well as companies competing in this emerging market area.
