A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11957705B2) discloses a method for treating cardiovascular disorders or diseases in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who have experienced a stroke. The method involves administering therapeutic amounts of exosomes containing miR-126, with the exosomes derived from CD133+ cells, specifically CD133+/KDR+ cells isolated from human umbilical cord blood cells. The concentration of miR-126 in these exosomes is highlighted to be higher compared to exosomes derived from endothelial cells or human umbilical cord blood cells.

Furthermore, the patent claims include the incorporation of miR-29b in the exosomes, with a higher concentration of miR-29b in these exosomes compared to those derived from endothelial cells or human umbilical cord blood cells. The therapeutic amount of exosomes containing miR-126 specified in the claims is at least 3×1010, with the method applicable to treating ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes, as well as heart failure and cardiomyopathy, particularly systolic heart failure denoted by a left ventricle ejection fraction of less than 40%. The patent also mentions the derivation of exosomes from endothelial cells, specifically brain endothelial cells, for the treatment method.
