Multifunctional Applications of Engineered Extracellular Vesicles in the Treatment of Cancer.
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key players of intercellular communication in physiological and pathological conditions. In cancer, EVs mediate complex signaling mechanisms between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment, and can influence tumor progression and the response to existing therapies. Importantly, EVs can be loaded with therapeutic agents and modified to display tumor-targeting molecules. In the field of nanomedicine, EVs have been engineered to serve as therapeutic delivery vehicles for several anti-cancer agents, including antibodies, chemotherapy, compounds, CRISPR/Cas9 and siRNA.
