Human skin exosomes repaired the sun-damaged skin cells in mice

Scientists used human dermal fibroblast cells for growing and harvesting exosomes from the skin

19-Sep-2019

Key points from article :

Exosomes are being tested as carriers of stem cell-based treatments for diseases.

Exosomes contain microRNA, non-coding RNA that instructs the recipient cell to produce more collagen.

Human skin cell exosomes are a more effective way of repairing sun damage than other treatments.

Nanometer-sized exosomes can be delivered to the target cells via needle-free injections.

Research is done by North Carolina State University.

The study was published in ACS Nano journal.
