Sm — Secretome
The secretome represents the complete set of biologically active factors released by stem cells, including cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, lipids, peptides, and extracellular vesicles. Increasing evidence suggests that many therapeutic effects traditionally attributed to stem cells are in fact mediated by these secreted molecules. The secretome can modulate inflammatory pathways, support angiogenesis, stimulate tissue remodeling, and influence cellular communication within damaged tissues. Unlike live-cell therapies, cell-free secretome approaches may provide improved manufacturing flexibility, enhanced stability, and reduced biological variability while maintaining regenerative potential.
