Based on results obtained in the pre-clinical stages of research carried out by the founders of BioSima and on the international literature, BioSima currently presents a pipeline of biotechnological products associated with exosome therapies, namely the acellular exosomal concentrate (ConExo), which constitutes an exosomic compound in natura (naive) derived from autologous adipogenic mesenchymal stem cell cultures currently undergoing phase I/II clinical trial in Brazil.
The therapeutic potential of exosomes is based on the presence of proteins and other specific chemokines carried by these nanovesicles, which play an important role in the intercellular communication by paracrine signaling mechanisms (between different cells). They contribute in the uptake/recruitment of local cells and induce their proliferation, differentiation and protein synthesis.
The addition of exosomal concentrate (ConExo) to bone substitutes commonly used in Orthopedic and Maxillary/Dental surgeries might improve the healing performance and local tissue response, in terms of the speed of maturation/incorporation of these biomaterials by the basal human skeleton bone, as well as to accelerate the deposition of local mineral content at grafted areas, aiming a greater density/maturation of the newly formed calcified tissue.
