Research progress in membrane fusion-based hybrid exosomes for drug delivery systems
Abstract
Liposomes are the earliest and most widely used nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery. Exosomes are nanosized membrane-bound particles and important mediators of intercellular communication. Combining liposomes and exosomes using various membrane fusion methods gives rise to a novel potential drug delivery system called membrane fusion-based hybrid exosomes (MFHE). These novel MFHEs not only exhibit potential advantageous features, such as high drug loading rate and targeted cellular uptake via surface modification, but are also endowed with high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Here, we provide an overview of MFHEs’ various preparation methods, characterization strategies, and their applications for disease treatment and scientific research.

“Moreover, exosome-nanoparticle hybrids offer multifunctionality, as they can carry both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, nucleic acids (e.g., siRNA, mRNA), imaging agents, and therapeutic proteins, enabling multi-modal therapies (such as drug delivery and imaging) within a single system [52].”

“Since most of the current reports on exosomes as drug carriers are related to small nucleic acids such as miRNA and siRNA or small-molecular-weight drugs, the expression plasmid of Cas9 is at least 5–6 kb (Naldini, 2015), which is much larger than the small nucleic acids.”

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.
