Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles released by cells that carry proteins, lipids, and genetic material which facilitate intercellular communication. In the ExoGen test at Genel, exosome imaging is used to localize and quantify the amount of exosomes produced or present in cells following treatment with an active ingredient.
Using advanced image analysis, Genel assesses the number or surface area of exosome-related spots. This allows for accurate evaluation of how treatments influence exosome production, providing valuable insights into cellular response mechanisms.
