In this study, we try to address a critical unmet need in exosome research, which is developing a large-scale and reproducible production method for exosome mimetics. Due to the notion of native evades, exosome mimetics, EMS, has been produced as surrogates by methods such as real exclusion and ultracentrifugation based filtration. Certainly most exosome mimetics are from the direct exclusion of whole cells, which demonstrates minimal biologic functions, but are inevitable contaminated by cell debris and organelles.
Extracellular vesicles have attracted significant attention in biomedical research, especially in disease treatment. However, traditional EV isolation techniques like ultrasensitive filtration, inside exclusion, catamental glyphic start from low-yield poor productibility of plow down quality and require expensive and engineer intensive production equipment that cannot meet the clinical demand for EVs. Our study provided a simple and no cost method for scan up production of exosomes mimetics.
We take advantage of unique biological finding that magnetic nanoparticles can be only endonized within cell endosomes, not other organelles. Thus, we can formulate the endosomes into uniform nanosescose. This method effectively improve EME and reduces cost.
