Stem cell-derived exosomes may treat erectile dysfunction by triggering angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. A recent multi-center meta-analysis supports the approach. The exosomes activate vascular cells to restore arterial health and erectile function.

And so what, what does the stem cell or exosome therapy really do to help correct or fix erectile dysfunction? So what we've seen in some papers, and really some new ones, including a paper that just came out, it was a multi-centered, multi-country paper, meta-analysis. What we're seeing is the likelihood of how it's working is a process called angiogenesis, or forming new blood vessels. And now, the only possible explanation for this is if these stem cells, which we talked about earlier, secrete these things called exosomes or EVs, or trophic factors, they can have the potential to attach to one of these cells that make up your blood vessel and tell it to turn on and potentially help your arterial system and cause that process called angiogenesis. And the more and more you look into stem cells and exosomes, or if you AI it, it'll tell you that angiogenesis is a key feature of stem cell and exosome therapy, and that's likely the mechanism we're seeing anyone get effects from it.
