Joy Kong, MD discusses stem cell therapy for brain injury and neurodegeneration. When the blood-brain barrier is compromised, stem cells reach the brain more easily. Exosomes are added to the mixture because they cross the barrier naturally, and can be delivered intranasally.
What's interesting for people with neurodegenerative conditions or some kind of traumatic brain injury, their blood brain barrier is actually compromised. So it's easier where I give them stem cells for the cells to get to the brain.
And we don't necessarily need as much or any of the mannitol, but we.
Still want to do it just to open up more. But what's interesting in those cases, I'll add exosomes into the mixture because exosomes doesn't need to a big space. It can cross the blood brain barrier with no problem.
I've used EX intranasally before.
Yeah, we were incredible.
