Exosome Therapeutics Market Professional Survey Report by 2035

In recent years, therapies utilizing extracellular vesicles have garnered significant attention among the industry stakeholders for the treatment of diverse target indication, primarily owing to the various benefits offered by them, including target specificity, enhanced tissue regeneration, and reduced inflammation and chronic pain.

Over time, various research studies have demonstrated the potential of exosomes (membrane bound extracellular vesicles) in disease diagnosis, drug delivery and therapeutic applications. As a result, exosome therapeutics domain has been gaining traction recently.

INTRODUCTION TO EXOSOMES
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles, which have endosomal origin and may contain different biomolecules, including proteins, DNA, lipids, miRNA or RNA, based on the type of cell of their origin and its conditions.
Exosomes convey a wide range of information to the target cells, depending on their source. In addition, they are involved in regulating the expression of the targets that are linked to RNA as they can affect the expression of RNA.

TYPES OF EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES
Micro-vesicles have size of about 100 nm and are formed by direct outward budding of the plasma membrane. Their formation solely depends on the surrounding environment and this process requires the presence of cytoskeleton components, namely actin/
Exosomes have a diameter in the range between 30-150 nm and are formed by inward budding and get developed into the multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Owing to their long half-life, exosomes can target specific organs of the body, which makes them widely studied vesicles for immunological purposes.
Apoptotic bodies have a diameter of about 5,000 nm and formed after the separation of plasma membrane from the skeleton. They can be easily distinguished from micro vesicles and exosomes because of their unscathed organelles as well as chromatin.

EXOSOME BIOGENESIS, FORMATION, DEVELOPMENT AND SECRETION
Exosomes are known to arise from the inward folding of multi-vesicular bodies (MVBs) in order to form the intraluminal vesicles (ILVs).
These MVBs are then delivered to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) for the recovery of endosomes, which further move to lysosome for degeneration of the carried substances. The most essential component of exosome biogenesis is the formation of ESCRT.

Formation and development of exosomes:
 Sorting of internalized cargoes into early endosomes
 Maturation into late endosomes or multivesicular bodies
 Delivery of cargoes from trans-Golgi network and cytosol
 Exosomes cargo in multivesicular bodies are transported to plasma membrane
 Fusion with the plasma membrane
 Secretion of exosomes

ADVANTAGES AND FUTURE POTENTIAL OF EXOSOME THERAPEUTICS:
Advantages:
 High Compatibility: Exosomes are naturally occurring compounds that can withstand digestive enzymes.
 Low Immunogenicity: Due to the innate properties of exosomes including their potential tissue of cell selectivity.
 Targeted Drug Delivery: Ability to cross blood brain barrier cause lesser systemic effects and low toxicity.
Future Potential:
 Several emerging players have undertaken initiatives to explore the potential of exosomes for diagnosis of various diseases.
 Application of exosomes as biomarker or vector of various potential therapeutic molecules, represents a theragnostic approach.
 Advanced exosome technologies are being developed to fully substructure the potential therapeutic applications of exosomes.

Unlocking the Potential of Digital Twins in Healthcare: Benefits, Challenges and Opportunities

The application of digital twins in healthcare has the potential to revolutionize patient care, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce costs.
Digital twins, or virtual replicas of physical objects and environments, are being used in many different industries, and healthcare is no exception. In healthcare, these can be used to provide better patient monitoring, improve remote care, and create personalized treatments.

What is a Digital Twin?
Digital twins are virtual representations of real-world objects. A digital twin is a piece of equipment, for example, may have the same functionality as the physical counterpart. Digital twins can be created using a wide range of data sources, such as sensors, models, and images. In the context of healthcare, these technologies can include the full representation of a patient’s medical history, symptoms, current treatment, and even biometric data, such as blood pressure and heart rate.

Benefits Associated with The Use of Digital Twins
Digital twins offer many benefits to the healthcare industry. In the following sections, we explore the top three benefits offered by digital twin technologies.
• Real-Time Data Access – While physical objects can be monitored and controlled, the data is often delayed. A digital twin, on the other hand, can be almost immediately updated with data. This means that healthcare providers can see and respond to real-time changes / real world evidence and abnormalities.
• Improved Remote Care – Remote care is when healthcare is provided to patients who are not physically in a healthcare facility. Remote care is growing in popularity, but it comes with several challenges, such as a lack of real-time data and an inability to supervise the patient. Digital twins can help with these challenges by providing real-time data and allowing healthcare providers to view the patient remotely (telemedicine support).

Disadvantages Associated with The Use of Digital Twins
For all the benefits of digital twins, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed. In the following sections, we explore the top three challenges.
• Difficulty in Adoption – Digital twins have been in use since the early 2000s, but they have only recently started to be used in healthcare. This is largely due to the fact that digital twins have been primarily used in industrial settings and that the concept has been hard for healthcare providers to grasp. While many find the concept of a digital twin attractive, it has been challenging for healthcare providers to adopt the concept.
• Possibility of False Information – When data is fed into a digital twin, it can be inaccurate or incomplete. This can lead to incorrect findings and incorrect treatment plans. However, there are some efforts underway to solve this problem. One approach is to make the data used to create the digital twin as accurate as possible. Another approach is to let the digital twin correct itself based on new data.


Future Perspectives
In the following sections, we explore three ways in which the use of digital twins in healthcare can be improved.
• Better Adoption Rates – With better adoption rates, healthcare providers will be able to use digital twins to their full potential. With the help of vendors and organizations, such as the Industrial Internet Consortium, healthcare providers can be better informed about the advantages of digital twins.

Despite their immense rise in popularity, digital twins still have some issues that need to be resolved. As such, there are some ways in which the use of digital twins in healthcare can be improved.

Genotoxicity Testing: Unlocking the Future Safety Assessment Opportunities

Genotoxicity testing refers to the evaluation of detrimental effects of chemical or physical agents on the genetic processes and related hereditary material of living cells.

On the other hand, mutagenicity is the process of inducing irreversible and transmissible alterations in the genetic material of organisms either spontaneously or through mutagenic activity.

Disruption of the integrity and function of DNA at the gene or chromosomal level can lead to heritable mutations, resulting in genetic disorders, birth abnormalities, or cancer. Potential targets for DNA damage include somatic cells (confined to the exposed generation), germinal cells (potentially inherited effects), and mitochondria (detrimental to the exposed individual and progeny via maternal inheritance).

Detrimental Effects of Genotoxins and Mutagens
Genotoxins are chemical substances or radiations which causes genotoxicity leading to DNA or chromosomal damage, further leading to mutations. In eukaryotic organisms, damage to genetic material of somatic cell can lead to malignancy (cancer) whereas genetic damage to germ cells can result in heritable mutations that induce birth defects.

Mechanism of Genotoxicity / Mutagenicity
The interaction of genotoxins / mutagens with the structure of DNA causes damage to the genetic material. These genotoxic / mutagenic substances interact with the DNA structure at a specific base sequence, inducing deletion, mis-segregation, or non-disjunction, resulting in damage and mutation.

Techniques Used for Genotoxicity / Mutagenicity Testing
Genotoxins can be classified based on their effects into the following types:
• Carcinogens: These have the ability to cause cancer. Examples – Asbestos, Benzene, Vinyl chloride and Carbon tetrachloride
• Mutagens: These can induce mutations in the genetic material of an organism. Examples – Chloroform, Ethylene oxide, and Lead
• Teratogens: These agents cause birth defects, abnormalities, or developmental problems in the offspring. Examples – Carbon monoxide, Lead and Xylene

GENE MUTATION
Ames Test: It is used to evaluate an agent’s mutagenic potential by reversing mutations in the tester mutant bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella typhi), as well as its ability to synthesize an essential amino acid required for growth
MLA / HPRT: It is used to evaluate an agent’s mutagenic potential by reversing mutations in the tester mutant bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella typhi), as well as its ability to synthesize an essential amino acid required for growth
Mutation Assay: Transgenic rodent somatic and germ cell gene mutation assay specifies an in vivo assay that perceives gene mutation causing agents.
DNA DAMAGES
Comet Assay: The comet assay, also known as single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), is an efficient technique for identifying DNA strand breaks in a cell. It is used in molecular epidemiology, genotoxicity testing, and basic studies on DNA damage and repair.
CHROMOSOMAL DAMAGES
Chromosomal Aberration Test: The comet assay, also known as single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), is an efficient technique for identifying DNA strand breaks in a cell.
Micronucleus Test: The micronucleus identifies chemicals (liquid or solid) that lead to cytogenetic damage, resulting in the formation of micronuclei containing complete or lagging chromosomal segments.
Applications of Genotoxicity / Mutagenicity
Genotoxicity testing and mutagenicity testing can be employed in a wide range of industries. It detects the potential long-term effects of the compounds which are marketed without knowing their ability to affect human and environmental health.
Recent Development and Future Perspectives
Recent advancements in informatics and instrumentation technologies have facilitated the necessity to evaluate mutations and chromosomal damage caused by various chemicals.
