5. Use of Exosomes for Other Than the Treatment of Disease

Exosome research has also seen great expansion in the field of presymptoms.

What is a presymptom? If you get a stiff shoulder and go to a hospital, you will not be diagnosed that you have a disease.

However, a stiff shoulder may be a sign of heart disease, such as angina or myocardial infarction.

This condition is a dangerous presymptomatic state.

Research is currently underway to find abnormal conditions like this by making use of exosomes.

In the research being carried out, exosomes of all generations of healthy men and women are being analyzed, and an attempt is being made to obtain value data related to microRNAs in the body.

Once the data of healthy microRNAs is obtained, this will be used as a standard.

For example, if a person with a stiff shoulder had results that were different from the healthy data, it could be a sign of some kind of disease.

Mr. Ochiya, CSOO of our company, is working on development to make this test possible with just one drop of blood.

If blood contains exosomes that show signs of heart disease, it will be a great discovery to prevent illness before it occurs.
