What is Stem Cell/Exosome Joint Injections
Stem Cell/Exosome Injections
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles released from cells upon fusion of an intermediate endocytic compartment
the multivesicular body, with the plasma membrane. Studies on exosomes have shown promising results as biomarkers for following the pathogenesis and prognosis of inflammatory arthritis. One of the reasons why exosomes are important is that they contain complex RNAs and proteins.
Exosomes in the plasma of osteoarthritis patients have yielded a new potential in alleviating knee osteoarthritis.
Treatment with exosomes also involves injecting the exosomes into the knee joint for pain relief. When exosomes are injected directly into the affected joint, they begin signaling to the cells to return to healthy function. They also send proteins into the walls of the cells, instructing the cells on how to regulate themselves.

Exosome Knee Injection
An exosome knee injection is a regenerative medicine treatment that injects exosomes, which are cell-derived messengers, into the knee to promote healing and reduce pain, particularly for conditions like osteoarthritis. These injections work by signalling damaged knee cells to repair themselves and the surrounding tissues, including cartilage and bone, though the process is still in early research and not FDA-approved. While some studies show promising results in reducing pain, improving cartilage structure, and increasing mobility, effects vary, and further research is needed.
How it Works
Potential Benefits
Potential Benefits
- Cellular Communication: Exosomes act as messengers, carrying signals from healthy, younger cells to damaged cells in the knee, prompting them to begin the natural healing and repair process.
- Tissue Regeneration: They help to stimulate the body's own ability to regenerate damaged tissue, such as cartilage and ligaments, and to reduce inflammation within the joint.
Potential Benefits
Potential Benefits
Potential Benefits
- Pain Relief: Patients may experience reduced pain in the affected knee.
- Improved Function: With tissue repair and reduced pain, mobility in the knee joint can improve.
- Reduced Inflammation: Exosomes can modulate the immune response to reduce inflammation in the joint.
- Cartilage Repair: Early studies suggest exosomes can promote cartilage regeneration and repair damaged bone.
What to Expect
Potential Benefits
What to Expect
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: The injection is a quick, in-office procedure that involves injecting the exosomes directly into the knee joint.
- Recovery: You can typically resume normal activities almost immediately, though avoiding strenuous exercise and anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen for a couple of weeks may be recommended to allow the exosomes to work.
- Results Timeline: While some pain relief may be felt quickly, the true benefits from tissue regeneration are expected to be felt within 3 to 6 months
Exosomes from embryonic mesenchymal stem cells
Getting exosomes from embryonic mesenchymal stem cells is thought to represent a potential advancement for cartilage regeneration and treatment of osteoarthritis. In one study, researchers injected exosomes from human embryonic stem cells into joints with osteoarthritis. They observed that the damage to cartilage and subchondral bone was largely reversed at 6 weeks and almost completely restored at 12 weeks. They concluded that embryonic mesenchymal stem cells exosomes could be a cell-free alternative for cartilage repair and joint-related disease.
The current trend involves the use of exosomes derived from amniotic fluid stem cells. In one recent study looking at their use, the researchers found that amniotic fluid stem cell exosomes enhanced pain tolerance and induced an almost complete restoration of hyaline cartilage with normal cartilage surface regularity.
In another recent study, researchers showed that exosomes from umbilical stem cells stimulated chondrocyte proliferation and migration, increased synthesis of the extracellular matrix, and inhibited chondrocyte cell death. They concluded exosomes from umbilical stem cells could significantly promote the repair of cartilage defects when injected into osteoarthritic joints of humans.
FDA approval and exosomes
Like I have said in other recent videos I’ve done on other modern medicine treatments, like peptides, exosomes are not currently approved by the FDA for use in osteoarthritis.
