Reprogramming the Cancer Messenger: A New Era of Tumor Extracellular Vesicle Engineering
Researchers at National Taiwan University unveiled the EV Bimodal Functional Regulator (eBFR) platform, which separates and edits tumor‑derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) to remove oncogenic cargo while preserving surface features. The system integrates CLEAR, SWITCHER, and eSimoa modules to map and reprogram EVs with subpopulation‑level precision. Pre‑clinical models showed reengineered EVs carrying higher drug payloads and delivering superior anti‑tumor efficacy. This breakthrough paves the way for personalized, EV‑based nanocarriers in cancer therapy.
