extracellular vesicle cargo loadingPhys Org
•90% Informative
A new study from Northwestern University hijacked the transit system and sent tiny, virus-sized containers to deliver an engineered protein to its target cell and trigger a change in the cell's gene expression.
The keys to this "cargo loading" approach are sites on cell membranes called lipid rafts.
The researchers say they're eager to try the approach with medicinal cargo for disease applications in immunotherapy and regenerative medicine.
