While solid biopsies have several limitations, including but not limited to their invasive nature, liquid biopsies can offer a promising alternative. Today, a growing number of companies are developing exosome diagnostics for the non-invasive detection and prognosis of cancer and other serious medical conditions. This approach is effective because exosomes are present in almost all body fluids and critical valuable information about the cells from which they were released. [Read more…]
Americord® Releases Exosomes Banking with CryoMaxx™ Processing
Americord Registry announces the addition of exosome banking to their suite services, becoming the first company in the United States to do so.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, US, October 11, 2022 – Americord Registry®, a leader in the cord blood industry, announced the addition of exosome banking to their suite of family-focused services, becoming the first private biobanking company in the United States to do so. Exosomes are tiny, extracellular vesicles that initiate cell-to-cell communication by shuttling cellular components to other cells. Pre-clinical research has shown that exosomes may regulate immune responses, wound healing, and cell growth and development. [Read more…]
Exosome Industry Progress is Accelerated by Landmark Events (Timeline)
Exosomes are small vesicles that are found in nearly all eukaryotic fluids and facilitate a range of important cellular functions. It has been long known that stem cells have the potential to exert therapeutic effects, but it only now being recognized that exosomes play an important role how these effects occur.
Over the past few years, this recognition has fueled a market for products and technologies leveraging stem cell exosomes. Key events in the formation of this market are highlighted in the timeline below. [Read more…]

The Rise of Exosomes as a Novel Class of Therapeutics
Today, exosomes are increasingly being investigated as a novel class of therapeutics that could explain the functions of many types of traditional cell therapies. To explain this trend, we contacted an esteemed exosome researcher, Dr. Ramon Coronado Schmilinski. Dr. Coronado Schmilinski was the previous Executive Director at Lester Smith Medical Research Institute and is the current VP Regulatory Affairs and Technology Transfer at Signature Biologics.
In this interview, we discuss how he started working with exosomes while looking for mechanisms used by MSCs to exert their therapeutic effects. We discuss the scientific importance of exosomes, their therapeutic and diagnostic applications, and how exosomes are being used within encapsulation and delivery systems.
Read on to learn how these extracellular vesicles could transform the future of modern medicine as we know it.
