Drug delivery based exosomes uptake pathways

Most cells secrete a material called extracellular vesicles (EVs), which play a crucial role in cellular communication. Exosomes are one of the most studied types of EVs. Recent research has shown the many functions and substrates of cellular exosomes. Multiple studies have shown the efficacy of exosomes in transporting a wide variety of cargo to their respective target cells. As a result, they are often utilized to transport medicaments to patients. Natural exosomes as well as exosomes modified with other compounds to enhance transport capabilities have been employed. In this article, we take a look at how different types of exosomes and modified exosomes may transport different types of cargo to their respective targets. Exosomes have a lot of potential as drug delivery vehicles for many synthetic compounds, proteins, nucleic acids, and gene repair specialists because they can stay in the body for a long time, are biocompatible, and can carry natural materials. A good way to put specific protein particles into exosomes is still not clear, though, and the exosomes can't be used in many situations yet. The determinants for exosome production, as well as ways for loading certain therapeutic molecules (proteins, nucleic acids, and small compounds), were covered in this paper. Further study and the development of therapeutic exosomes may both benefit from the information collected in this review.
