The design of genetically modified exosomes that combine multiple targets killed cancer cells and conferred immunity against them. Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) applied bioengineering techniques to introduce up to four antitumor functions in the same type of extracellular vesicles and destroy EGFR-positive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumor cells.
Tears shed today by patients frustrated by an inability to obtain a diagnosis could speed diagnoses for others in the future. Researchers at Wenzhou Medical University, China, have developed a new nano membrane system, dubbed I-Tears, that harvests and purifies tiny droplets called exosomes from tears, allowing rapid analysis for disease biomarkers.
Korean researchers at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul have demonstrated that regenerative medicine using multipotent mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles could mitigate intraventricular hemorrhage-induced brain damage in newborn rats.
PERTH, Australia – Stem cell therapy has failed to deliver on its promises, according to Exopharm Ltd. founder and CEO Ian Dixon, who said he believes that exosomes, or the extracellular vesicles released by stem cells, could be a disrupter in the regenerative medicine space.
