Avalon GloboCare Announces Breakthrough in Identifying Human Angiogenic Exosomes/Extracellular Vesicles (EV) Derived from Endothelial Cells
Angiogenic exosomes containing angiogenic factors developed to promote new blood vessel formation and tissue regeneration upon release from exosomes.
Results from Avalon’s co-development program with Weill Cornell Medicine led by Yen-Michael Hsu, M.D., Ph.D., Director of cGMP Cellular Therapy Facility and Laboratory for Advanced Cellular Engineering.
Accepted as podium presentation at the International Society of Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) 2019 Annual Meeting, Kyoto, Japan.
