Exosome treatment improves recovery from heart attacks in a preclinical study. – Brinkwire

Science has long known that recovery from experimental heart attacks is improved by injection of a mixture of heart muscle cells, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, yet results have been limited by poor engraftment and retention, and researchers worry about potential tumorigenesis and heart arrhythmia.
Now research in pigs shows that using the exosomes naturally produced from that mixture of heart muscle cells, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cellswhich were all derived from human i…
