COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING ABIOTICALLY-STRESSED PLANT-DERIVED EXOSOME-LIKE NANOPARTICLES

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present disclosure provides a composition containing a purified population of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles isolated from tissue of a vascular plant, wherein the exosome-like nanoparticles comprise a tuned cargo comprising a protein signature and an miRNA signature, wherein the tuned cargo of the plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles is a result of exposure of the plant to combinations of abiotic stress conditions that cause the plant to modulate its signaling pathways and metabolism to ensure its survival in a challenging environment. The tuned cargo of the plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles can modulate bioactivities of mammalian cells directly or indirectly. The present disclosure also provides a method for improving appearance of human skin and human hair health, including eyelashes and eyebrows, comprising applying a composition comprising the abiotically stressed plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles containing the tuned cargo and a carrier; and applying the composition topically.
