Engineered Exosomes as a Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease

Exosomes are one category of extracellular vesicle secreted by cells, a membrane-wrapped package of molecules, one complex component of the extensive, incompletely mapped communication that takes place constantly between cells. Exosome therapies are conceptually similar to stem cell therapies, an attempt to favorably adjust the behavior of native cells via signaling.
