Key points from article :
Exosomes derived from stem cells have the potential to regenerate damaged brain cells.
Brain damage and neurodegenerative diseases often cause irreversible impairment.
Exosomes contain substances that facilitate cranial nerve regeneration and brain functional recovery.
These are tiny vesicles that contain genetic information & biologically active substances.
Exosomes were injected into brain-damaged mice.
Mice’s damaged nerve cells grew synapses & damaged brain area was restored to about 60%.
