“There are more than 150 listed biotech companies on the ASX, so you need to back a select shortlist to outperform. While the science is often complex, look for companies that are capable of taking longer strides over the medium term,” says Dr. Ian Dixon, Managing Director & Founder.

Dr. Ian Dixon: Bio Insights Exosomes at scale as next-generation cell free medicines: Fact and Fiction In 2020, exosomes (also known as extracellular vesicles [EVs]) are emerging from academic laboratories and into biotechnology company led clinical trials. But this progress has, until now, been held back by the absence of a robust, scalable and proprietary […]
Early studies suggest regenerative medicine could halt or even reverse the onset of age-related sensory impairment Gradually losing the ability to experience and enjoy the world around you can be one of the most debilitating aspects of ageing. Vision impairment, hearing loss and other sensory disabilities affecting smell, taste or touch are among the […]
Exosomes: Nanoparticles full of Surprises If the past few years of exosome research has taught us anything about these tiny biomolecule-filled parcels, it is that ‘what do exosomes do?’ is the wrong question to ask. In the context of cell to cell communication, ‘what don’t exosomes do’ seems to be a better starting point. As […]
Destination: Exosomes A growing number of stem cell companies are seeing the light and shifting their focus to exosome products. An interesting mixture of companies are lining up to follow Exopharm’s lead and begin human clinical trials of therapeutic exosome candidates. At least three exosome companies are aiming to start clinical trials during 2020, and […]
Exopharm backs regulatory crackdown on unapproved exosome products A leading developer of exosome therapies, Australia-based Exopharm Limited, supports the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in highlighting the health dangers of unapproved products peddled by clinics that are openly flouting the rules. In a public safety notification released on December 6, the FDA highlighted reports […]
What Are Exosomes and Why Are Exosomes Important? What Are Exosomes? Definition of Exosomes Exosomes are defined as nanometre-sized vesicles, being packages of biomolecules ranging from 40-150 nanometres in size that are released by virtually every cell type in the body. Once thought to be a kind of refuse disposal system for cells, exosomes are […]
The New Science of Aging: Winding Back the Body Clock Human age reversal has jumped from pure science fiction to research reality. Until very recently, the idea of age reversal and rejuvenation in humans was not a topic discussed in serious scientific circles. The idea was, at best, highly speculative. At worst it was the […]
Turning Back the Body Clock With Exosomes New research reinforces the possibility that exosomes derived from stem cells can bring the body back into a more healthful, youthful state. Two recent publications highlight the growing relevance of exosomes to aging. One report highlights that the aging of humans is associated with an accelerating decline in […]
The Potential of Exosomes Exosomes are moving toward clinical use in numerous and diverse ways There are around 37 trillion cells in a human body—and like any collective of diverse individuals they rely upon constant communication to work together. Just over a decade ago a research team in Sweden published in Nature Cell Biology a […]
Understanding regenerative medicine’s point-of-difference Companies testing exosome-based therapies are developing completely new ways to tackle the wide array of medical conditions that afflict us in old age. Exosomes from stem cells are an emerging regenerative medicine that could disrupt the way age-related degeneration is treated, including problems such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, osteoporosis and erectile […]
Exosome Therapeutic Research Emerging from the Lab The more we study these naturally produced packets of biomolecules, the more therapeutic use they seem to lend themselves to be. Exosomes, pro-healing nanoparticles found naturally in the body, are a new potential paradigm in healthcare that could assist in every step we take through life. In their […]
Exosomes vs Stem Cells: Exosomes as the Next Big Thing after Stem Cell Therapy The exosomes (or ‘extracellular vesicles’) released by stem cells may be the disruptive therapy for tackling age-related diseases doctors and patients have been waiting for. Despite over a decade and a half of hope and hype, stem cell therapy has failed […]
Exopharm: Reducing Risk. Making Drugs by Purifying not Synthesising In this note to shareholders and potential investors, the company outlines Exopharm’s risk-profile and how the business of Exopharm compares with other types of listed biotechnology companies. Exopharm: Context Exopharm is an ASX listed regenerative medicine company focused on bringing exosomes into clinical use as a […]
Exosomes (or extra cellular vesicles) are a new way to treat medical conditions including health span related medical problems. Exosomes are showing a great deal of promise in the Biotech industry as the future of regenerative medicine. What Are Exosomes? Exosomes are tiny packages of biomolecules released by cells1. They range between 40 and 200 […]
Biotech and Exosome Investment Growth Recent financial transactions highlight increasing biotech investment activity in the field of exosomes and extracellular vesicles. These naturally occurring packets of biomolecules could represent a new paradigm in healthcare. Exopharm Limited (ASX-EX1) is one of a small number of Australian biotech stocks currently attracting investors in regenerative medicine, and its […]
The Critical Bottleneck of Exosome Isolation and the Power of Exopharm’s LEAP Technology Why Exopharm is poised to be a leader in the field of therapeutic exosomes. Exosomes (also known as extracellular vesicles or EVs) from stem cells are poised to become a new form of regenerative medicine – described by some as the ‘secret […]
Regenerative Medicine: Questions and Answers What is regenerative medicine? Regenerative medicine is a term used to cover different ways scientists can harness the body’s own regenerative capabilities. What are some examples of regenerative medicines? An old example is blood. Blood (or blood plasma) from donors is used routinely in hospitals if the patient needs more […]
Meet the Exosomes Exactly a decade ago, a seminal paper revealed the role exosomes play in the body. Read on for Exopharm’s guide on what exosomes are, and why they’re beginning to create a buzz in medical circles. Human cells are a gregarious bunch – otherwise we would fall apart. They continually message each other, […]
Could exosome therapy help athletes recover from injury faster – and help the rest of us by mimicking the whole-body benefits of exercise? Some people don’t get enough physical exercise – but others suffer from too much activity, injury and over-training. Many sports players are set to benefit from the dawning era of exosome medicine. […]
Exosomes as Drug Delivery Vehicles: Natural Nano-bio-drones In the not too distant future, click ‘buy’ on an internet shopping site and an autonomous drone will be dispatched to carry your new goods directly to your doorstop. For now, drone home-delivery is still science fiction – but inside the body, targeted autonomous delivery of packages is […]
