Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, resulting from a deficiency in insulin secretion or a poor response to it. This disease significantly impacts quality of life and can lead to serious complications if not properly controlled, such as diabetic retinopathy and diabetic foot syndrome. Recent research is focusing on the use of stem cells as a promising therapeutic approach for diabetes and its complications, with the goal of restoring the function of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells or modifying the immune response.

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that originates in the tissues of the prostate gland and is one of the most common cancers among men in Western countries. Globally, it is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death among men. In 2020, an estimated 1.4 million new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed worldwide. Although many men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it, and the five-year survival rate is over 90% if it is detected early and has not spread beyond the prostate, more aggressive forms can quickly spread to nearby organs, lymph nodes, and bones.

Exosomes require characterization and validation prior to therapeutic applications.
