Abstract
Extracellular vesicles and their analogues can mediate intercellular communication for gene regulation, thereby activating corresponding cellular functions, which demonstrates promising applications in disease diagnosis and treatment. Extensive studies have indicated that extracellular vesicles and their analogues exhibit remarkable efficacy in various pharmacological activities, including anti-tumor effects, immune modulation, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, as well as tissue regeneration. Heterologous extracellular vesicles and their analogues possess diverse biological activities attributed to their compositions, distributions, and mechanisms of action. Their specific targeting ability, high biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity render them ideal delivery vehicles for precision therapeutic interventions. This article aims to comprehensively review the mechanisms of action of extracellular vesicles and their analogues in anti-tumor activity, as well as their unique advantages as drug delivery carriers, with the goal of providing a necessary reference foundation for further application and development in anti-tumor therapy.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
