Research overview

Inspired by the similarity of biogenesis between EVs and viruses, we developed a synthetic, Late domain-based EV scaffold protein that enables the display of a set of single chain variable fragments (scFvs) on the EV surface. Our study suggested that the LEAP scaffold may serve as a platform for EV surface display and could be applied for a broad range of EV-based biomedical applications.

Key findings

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as promising carriers for the delivery of therapeutic biologics.

Genetic engineering represents a robust strategy for loading proteins of interest into EVs.

Identification of EV-enriched proteins facilitates protein cargo loading efficiency.

Many EV-enriched proteins are sorted into EVs via an endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-dependent pathway.
