Ontario pioneers world-first exosome therapy in burn care
Hamilton Health Sciences in Ontario conducted the world’s first burn treatment using exosomes to speed healing in an 18-year-old fire victim. The patient received two exosome injections, sourced from the United States, to accelerate recovery and reduce the need for skin grafts. Led by Dr. Marc Jeschke with Health Canada’s compassionate-use approval, the patient healed faster with improved facial outcomes and described the result as a miracle, though researchers say more study is needed before exosome therapy becomes a Canada-wide standard of care.
