Exosome Biochemistry and Advanced Nanotechnology for Next‐Generation Theranostic Platforms
Abstract
Recent marked technological advances in the field of exosome nanotechnology have provided unprecedented opportunities to bloom the developments of exosome‐related biology, chemistry, pathology, and therapeutics, which have laid a solid basis for scientific community to design exosome‐based nanotheranostic platforms. The unique structural/compositional/morphological characteristics of exosomes as natural nanocarriers, as well as their fascinating physicochemical/biochemical properties, which underpin their special physiopathological roles, have triggered the concept that these cell‐derived nanovesicles with intrinsic biological functions can be highly competent for the establishment of next‐generation nanomedicine. Herein, efforts are made to give a comprehensive overview on the recent advances of exosome nanotechnology based on the representative examples of the current state of the art of exosome‐based research, ranging from their formation, biological function, preparation, and characterization to their extensive nanomedical applications. It is highly expected that the better and clearer elucidation of the fundamental principles for advanced nanotechnology in constructing exosome‐based theranostic nanoplatforms, as well as integrating the intrinsic advantages of exosomes as endogenous cell‐derived nanocarriers with the advanced design methodology of traditional nanomedicine, will help to unlock the innate powers of exosomes for the establishment of next‐generation theranostic nanoplatforms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
