In this video, Professor Shani Stern, PhD, discusses her research on the therapeutic potential of exosomes, nanoparticles secreted by various cell types. Professor Stern focuses on exosomes derived from mesenchymal and induced pluripotent stem cells. She examines how these exosomes impact cells and animal models affected by brain diseases such as autism spectrum disorder. Through various translational neuroscience methods, Professor Stern explores the possibility of treating brain diseases using exosomes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells.
