For decades, the pharmaceutical industry has been in pursuit of the perfect drug delivery system. One that is safe, efficient, and, most importantly, can precisely target a specific site in the body.Read More…
Effective and targeted drug delivery remains a significant challenge in modern medicine. Researchers are employing biochemical engineering approaches to repurpose extracellular vesicles (EVs) as drug delivery vehicles. Studies have demonstrated that displayingRead More…
Systems featuring programmable RNA molecule export capabilities hold the potential for non-destructive cellular dynamics monitoring and efficient RNA delivery to engineered cells. In a recent breakthrough, Michael B. Elowitz and Felix HornsRead More…
Exosomes, nanoscale extracellular vesicles enveloped by a lipid bilayer membrane and secreted by most eukaryotic cells, possess unique characteristics, including inherent stability, low immunogenicity, biocompatibility and excellent biological properties. Their membrane penetrationRead More…
Gene therapy is a therapy that treats genetic diseases by introducing genetic material (such as the expression system of therapeutic proteins or editing tools to correct wrong genes in diseased cells). TheRead More…
Recently, a comment was published in the journal Nature Reviews Materials (impact factor 71.189), outlining the application of extracellular vesicles and synthetic nanoparticles in drug delivery. Synthetic nanoparticles have been widely usedRead More…
