Stem cells are fundamental biological units that create and renew tissues throughout life. Exosomes are tiny particles produced by cells, including stem cells, that act as messengers. They deliver signals to other cells, instructing them to reduce inflammation, promote healing, or perform other vital functions. This natural cell signaling system can be utilized in medical treatments to support regeneration and healing.

Susan: [00:00:00] I have another question for you.
Dr. Jeffrey Gross: Well shoot.
Susan: So my name is Susan Bratton. I’m an intimacy expert and this is Dr. Jeffrey Gross and he is my regenerative doctor. Would you describe the difference between stem cells and exosomes in a very simple way for people?
Dr. Jeffrey Gross: Sure. As we know, stem cells are the biological elements that created us in the first place and we use later in life to help renew and restore and replace our own tissues and exosomes are the small particles that cells, particularly in this case, stem cells make that delivered a signal to other cells in our body to tell them what to do.
It could be, Hey, stop inflaming. Hey, why don’t you get back on the bandwagon and heal this organ or something like that. So we tap into that cell signaling through exosomes.
