Exosomes as a Treatment of Osteoarthritis

Exosomes as a Treatment of Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects the joints. It is the most common type of arthritis and typically causes pain, stiffness, and loss of function in joints. As joint deterioration continues, the condition becomes more severe and can eventually lead to disability. OA is the leading cause of pain in adults over the age of 60, and it is estimated to affect up to 30% of the population in the US. The condition usually affects weight-bearing joints, such as the knee, hip, or shoulder, but it can occur in any joint in the body. Common symptoms of OA include joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Medications are often used to treat the symptoms of OA, but they only provide temporary relief and do not slow down the progression of the disease. So is there another treatment option? A new study suggests that exosome therapy may be a promising treatment for OA. For the study, researchers administered exosome therapy to mouse models of OA and found that it improved the function of the joints and reduced inflammation and pain. These findings suggest that exosomes may have potential as a new treatment for OA in humans.
