Super homotypic targeting by surface engineering of extracellular vesicles.

Nature biomedical engineering·July 22, 2026·PMID 42486903

Why it matters

Extracellular vesicles are emerging as key mediators in regenerative medicine, but their heterogeneity limits therapeutic and diagnostic use. This engineering strategy provides a way to precisely target sEVs to specific cell types, which could improve the specificity of vesicle-based diagnostics, drug delivery, and tissue repair strategies.
