Delivery of Exosomes Improves Recovery from Stroke in Pigs

This study, coupled with our previously published studies focused on a mouse model, represents the first time that a company demonstrated proof-of-concept of the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles in two divergent animal species and two stroke types - embolic and ischemic." This is the third study recently completed by ArunA, the first two of which demonstrated improved outcomes in middle-aged and aged mice following embolic stroke. Study results showed NSC EV treatment: was neuroprotective; eliminated intracranial hemorrhage in ischemic lesions; improved behavior and mobility; decreased cerebral infarct volume and brain swelling; and led to significant improvements at the tissue and functional levels.
