NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 31, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Americord, a leader in the biobanking industry, is proud to announce the addition of maternal exosome banking to their suite of health-focused services. This step marks a significant advancement in medical science and reinforces Americord's commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for the entire families' health and well-being.

Exosomes are tiny, extracellular vesicles that initiate cell-to-cell communication by shuttling cellular components to other cells. Pre-clinical research has shown that exosomes may regulate immune responses, wound healing, and cell growth and development.

Their potential in various therapeutic applications has garnered considerable attention in recent years. In October 2022, Americord announced the addition of exosome banking for newborns. By expanding their exosome banking services to mothers, Americord is at the forefront of innovation, empowering families with a more extensive array of options to safeguard their health.

With maternal exosome banking, expecting mothers can preserve these valuable exosomes derived from maternal sources during pregnancy. The collected exosomes can then be potentially used in regenerative therapies for the mother.

"We are thrilled to introduce exosome banking for mothers, a groundbreaking service that takes our commitment to personalized and innovative healthcare to new heights," said Martin Smithmyer, CEO and Founder of Americord. "By expanding our exosome banking services to encompass mothers, we aim to harness the full potential of regenerative medicine and empower families with enhanced medical options."

The process of isolating and extracting exosomes is seamless and non-invasive. It involves the collection of exosomes from the mother's biological materials during pregnancy and post-delivery, making it a safe and painless procedure for both the mother and child. These exosomes are then carefully preserved at Americord's state-of-the-art facility, adhering to the highest industry standards.

Today, there are currently no FDA-approved treatments, but researchers and scientists are studying these tiny vesicles for more than 100 clinical trials researching numerous applications for exosomes. These clinical trials include treatments for pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, metastatic melanoma, platelet function, blood coagulation and inflammatory diseases, and neuro-degeneration.
