Nebulized PEP for cigarette smoke-induced emphysema
preclinicalresearch program · high
Assess whether nebulized platelet-derived extracellular vesicles can attenuate chronic cigarette smoke-induced emphysema by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and alveolar epithelial apoptosis.
Murine emphysema model treated with nebulized Purified human platelet-derived exosome product three times weekly for 4 weeks, with lung function, morphometry, RNA sequencing, tissue validation, and in vitro alveolar epithelial cell testing.
2024 translational research publication reported preclinical efficacy of nebulized PEP in a mouse model.
Nebulized PEP delivered vesicles to the alveolar region, attenuated cigarette smoke-induced emphysema, reduced inflammatory and apoptotic markers, increased CD4+/FOXP3+ Treg cells, and reduced cigarette smoke extract-induced apoptotic cell death in vitro.
RION Aesthetics human platelet extract skin rejuvenation products
exploratoryconsumer product · high
Use topical human platelet-derived extract products for cosmetic skin rejuvenation, post-procedure skin recovery, and improvement of photoaging features.
Topical human platelet extract products including Intense Serum and CALM Serum, evaluated in prospective, randomized or evaluator-blinded cosmetic studies for facial skin rejuvenation, dorsal hand photoaging, and recovery after fractional CO2 laser resurfacing.
Multiple 2024 publications reported clinical cosmetic studies of topical HPE products from Rion Aesthetics.
Facial skin study reported 87.3% of subjects perceived improvement and increased collagen fibril thickness after 12 weeks. Dorsal hand study found topical HPE noninferior to vitamin C for brown spot area, wrinkle area, and luminosity at 12 weeks. CO2 laser pilot study reported less crusting at Day 10 and less downtime in the first 14 days with CALM Serum versus control.
