Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have the innate ability to carry proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids between cells, and thus these vesicles have gained much attention as potential therapeutic delivery vehicles. Many strategies have been explored to enhance the loading of specific cargoes of interest into EVs, which could result in the delivery of more therapeutic to recipient cells, thus enhancing therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we discuss the natural biogenesis of EVs, the mechanism by which proteins and nucleic acids are selected for inclusion in EVs, and novel methods that have been employed to enhance loading of specific cargoes into EVs. As well, we discuss biodistribution of administered EVs and summarize clinical trials that have attempted to harness the therapeutic potential of EVs.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Molecular Therapy—Methods & Clinical Development is to build upon the success of Molecular Therapy in publishing important peer-reviewed methods and procedures, as well as translational advances in the broad array of fields under the molecular therapy umbrella.
Topics of particular interest within the journal''s scope include:
Gene vector engineering and production,
Methods for targeted genome editing and engineering,
Methods and technology development for cell reprogramming and directed differentiation of pluripotent cells,
Methods for gene and cell vector delivery,
Development of biomaterials and nanoparticles for applications in gene and cell therapy and regenerative medicine,
Analysis of gene and cell vector biodistribution and tracking,
Pharmacology/toxicology studies of new and next-generation vectors,
Methods for cell isolation, engineering, culture, expansion, and transplantation,
Cell processing, storage, and banking for therapeutic application,
Preclinical and QC/QA assay development,
Translational and clinical scale-up and Good Manufacturing procedures and process development,
Clinical protocol development,
Computational and bioinformatic methods for analysis, modeling, or visualization of biological data,
Negotiating the regulatory approval process and obtaining such approval for clinical trials.
