Recently listed Biopharmaceutical company Exopharm Limited (ASX:EX1) released the investorâs deck to provide high-level information on the companyâs business and its development programs.
The company focuses on providing the health-span solution through a cell-free approach under which patients are dosed with a boost of exosomes purified from adult stem cells or derived from human platelets. In this process, a count of exosomes increases in the body that results in an improvement in health span.
Exopharm explained the young and healing health depends upon the number of exosomes present in the human body. The studies have proven that as the person moves towards aging, fewer good exosomes are found in its body whereas more regenerative exosomes exist in a youthful body.
With the development and commercialization of exosomes as the therapeutic agents, the company aims to become leading human clinical therapeutics using exosomes as regenerative medicine products. In the process of exosomes purification, the company uses its manufacturing technology called LEAP in comparison to the generally used ultracentrifuge [UC] process.
