Compositions and uses of alpha-adrenergic agents

The present invention relates to a method of treating a chemical injury of the eye, in particular alkali burn of the cornea, as well as ocular GVHD and similar inflammatory ocular conditions, with extracellular vesicles, in particular exosomes obtained from human cardiospheres or cardiosphere-derived cells. The present invention also provides a formulation comprising extracellular vesicles, in particular exosomes obtained from human cardiospheres or cardiosphere-derived cells, for subconjunctival or topical administration to the eye in the treatment of a chemical injury of the eye, in particular alkali burn of the cornea, as well as ocular GVHD and similar inflammatory ocular conditions.

Methods of treating ocular inflammation and chemical injuries of the eye with extracellular vesicles

The present invention relates to a method of treating acute or chronic systemic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with extracellular vesicles, e.g., exosomes obtained from human cardiospheres or cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), wherein systemic GVHD involves, e.g., at least two organs selected from the group consisting of the skin, mucosa, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs, joints and fascia, genitalia, and eyes. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising extracellular vesicles, e.g., exosomes obtained from human cardiospheres or CDCs, for systemic administration, e.g., intravenous infusion, to a human subject in need of treatment of systemic GVHD.

Methods of treating systemic graft-versus-host disease with extracellular vesicles

The present invention relates to a method of treating dermatitis, in particular radiation-induced dermatitis, with extracellular vesicles, in particular exosomes obtained from human cardiospheres or cardiosphere-derived cells. The present invention also provides a formulation comprising extracellular vesicles, in particular exosomes obtained from human cardiospheres or cardiosphere-derived cells, for use in the treatment of dermatitis, in particular radiation-induced dermatitis.
