Implication
Review uncovers exosome biogenesis and signaling mechanisms across systemic diseases, highlighting diagnostic biomarker profiling and targeted drug delivery.
Key Points
- Synthesize current knowledge on exosome biogenesis, cellular uptake, and intercellular signaling, while evaluating their pathological roles and biomedical opportunities.
- Conducted a comprehensive narrative review of scientific literature covering exosome biology, molecular composition, and cell-to-cell communication mechanisms.
- Evaluated preclinical and clinical evidence on the transfer of protein, DNA, and RNA cargo to recipient cells in cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory diseases.
- Exosomes act as critical mediators of intercellular communication by transferring functional proteins, DNA, and RNA to alter the behavior of distant recipient cells.
- Abnormal exosome-mediated signaling contributes directly to the pathogenesis and progression of cancer, neurodegeneration, and chronic inflammatory disorders.
- Exosome profiling presents noninvasive diagnostic opportunities, while engineered exosomes show strong potential as targeted delivery vehicles for clinical therapeutics.
