Exosome - Nature's Cellular Messenger
Guided by Cells, Upgrading Modern Medicine
This white paper proposes the establishment of EXO DAO and the issuance of EXO tokens to transform the world in the fields of regenerative medicine, environmental protection, and personalized medicine through the application of exosome technology. Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles that carry information between cells, and are attracting attention as a next-generation biotechnology due to their multifunctionality.
Vision
EXO DAO aims to popularize exosome technology on a global scale and provide new treatments and solutions in the fields of regenerative medicine, personalized medicine, and environmental protection. We pursue the health and happiness of all humankind by unlocking the infinite potential of exosomes and tackling diseases and environmental problems that have been considered incurable until now.
Mission
Our mission is to accelerate the research and development of exosome technology and provide the funding, knowledge, and partnerships necessary to achieve clinical application and commercialization. Through EXO tokens, we will form a global community and promote technological innovation and ethical governance.
Background and current
situation
Exosomes are nanometer-sized vesicles secreted by cells that contain biomolecules such as RNA, DNA, proteins, and lipids, and play an important role in the transmission of information between cells. Exosomes have a wide range of applications, including regenerative medicine, cancer treatment, diagnostic technology, and even environmental restoration. However, there are still issues to be solved before the technology matures, and research and development is required to maximize its potential.
Generation and properties of exosomes
Exosomes are secreted by many cell types (immune cells, nerve cells, etc.) and are released outside the cell as vesicles with a diameter of 30-150 nm. Exosomes have the characteristic that their contents (cargo) change depending on the state and environment of the cell, allowing them to act selectively on specific target cells.
In other words, there are many types of exosomes.
The stomach contains gastric exosomes, and the intestines contain exosomes that act well on the intestines.
Exosome isolation and purification
For the clinical application of exosomes, the key is to isolate and purify exosomes with high purity and target specificity. Current methods include ultracentrifugation, size exclusion chromatography, and immunoprecipitation, but these techniques remain cost-effective, efficient, and scalable.
In other words, the problem is how to distinguish and sort various types of exosomes.
For example, if you put them in a liquid and rotate them, the heavier exosomes will flow outward.
By repeating this process, exosomes can be distinguished by their weight (ultracentrifugation)
Another method is to use a net.
Exosomes can be sorted by size by filtering through various types of mesh, such as widening or narrowing the mesh size (size exclusion chromatography).
Using the above method, exosomes can be mass-produced, sorted, managed, and commercialized.
However, these technologies are still immature, and there are issues with cost and production efficiency.
Application fields and potential of exosome technology
Regenerative medicine and tissue repair
Exosomes, like stem cells, have the ability to promote tissue regeneration and play an important role in repairing damaged tissues and organs. In particular, tissue regeneration treatment after myocardial infarction or stroke using exosomes has the potential to exceed existing treatments.
Regenerative medicine using iPS cells also has the problem of how to deliver cultured iPS cells to the affected area.
iPS cells are delivered to the affected area using exosomes. This is one of the solutions.
Role and ecosystem of EXO token
Governance and decision making
EXO token holders have the right to vote on the direction of the project and the allocation of funds within the DAO.
This decentralized governance system ensures project transparency and fairness, creating an ecosystem where all stakeholders can participate equally.
Funding and R&D support
EXO tokens will serve as a funding vehicle to support research and development of exosome technology.
Through the sale of tokens, research institutions and companies will be provided with funds to accelerate the development of new treatments and applied technologies.
Incentive and reward design
EXO tokens serve as a reward for individuals and organizations that contribute to the dissemination and commercialization of exosome technology. This encourages active participation in technology development and projects, and helps revitalize the entire ecosystem.
Expanding the ecosystem
EXO DAO expands its ecosystem through global partnerships.
This includes universities, research institutes, medical institutions, environmental organizations, technology companies, etc., and will promote research and application of exosome technology across multiple fields.
