Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a type of autoimmune disease in which our immune cells cause hyperimmune reactions and destroy our own healthy tissues, including the heart, brain, nerves, muscles, skin, eyes, joint, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels. Since the clinical phenotypes of atopic dermatitis vary greatly by race, age, and region, there is still no treatment that can be applied to all clinical phenotypes of atopic dermatitis.
The extracellular vesicle therapeutics (MBTC-AD-EVs) developed by Stemmedicare for the treatment of atopic dermatitis have the advantage of maintaining the homeostasis of the Th1/Th2 immune responses and being applicable regardless of the Th1/Th2/Th17/Th22 phenotype. Therefore, the indications of MBTC-AD-EVs are expected to be expanded as new therapeutics that can cure all autoimmune diseases (asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, type I diabetes, etc.) including atopic dermatitis.

Evaluation of improvement effects of skin barrier strengthening and itching relief due to dry skin performed by Korea Testing & Research Institute (n=22)
  • Skin Itch Improvement Rate
    VAS (Visual Analogue Scale)

    Skin itch was significantly decreased after
    4 weeks RETROPHA-G Cream
    use as compared with before use.

  • Skin Moisturizing Improvement Rate
