Orange-derived Exosome Research and Application

Introduction Service Workflow Technology Advantages Deliverables Testimonials FAQs

Introduction

Orange-derived exosomes (OEVs) are emerging as a valuable focus in the study of plant nanovesicles. As nano-sized extracellular vesicles naturally secreted by citrus cells, OEVs encapsulate various bioactive compounds, such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and small molecules. These vesicles play crucial roles in intercellular communication, nutrient delivery, and immune modulation. Creative Biolabs, a leader in plant exosome technologies, provides robust and customized research solutions for the isolation, analysis, and functional investigation of OEVs.

Recent studies highlight the unique structural resilience and biological efficacy of orange-derived exosomes in both plant and animal models. Unlike traditional plant extracts, OEVs demonstrate superior biocompatibility and stability, positioning them as excellent candidates for studies in cellular physiology, intercellular signaling, and stress response mechanisms.
