Exosomes are small (30 – 100 nm) vesicles that transfer biologically active molecules, such as proteins and RNA, between cells. They hold great promise as a delivery mechanism for molecules used to treat a wide range of diseases, however, a ...

Exosomes, the endogenous nanocarriers that can deliver biological information between cells, were recently introduced as new kind of drug delivery system. However, mammalian cells release relatively low quantities of exosomes, and purification of exosomes is difficult. Here, researchers at the ...
