In this review, we summarize current understanding of OMV biogenesis, composition, and physicochemical features that shape biodistribution and immunogenicity. We then discuss engineering strategies ranging from genetic rewiring of parental strains and detoxification of lipid A to surface functionalization, hybrid membrane assembly, and stimuli-responsive formulations that enable controllable targeting, loading, and release. Recent progress is highlighted in anti-tumor therapy, nanovaccines for infectious diseases and cancer, and nucleic acid delivery for gene regulation. Finally, we analyze key barriers to clinical translation, including endotoxin-associated safety, batch-to-batch heterogeneity, scalable manufacturing, and standardization of quality attributes. Addressing these challenges through rational design and robust production pipelines will be essential to advance OMV-based therapeutics toward safe, effective, and manufacturable clinical products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6906,"journal":{"name":"Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica.

Our study revealed that VNP exerts anti-tumor growth and anti-angiogenesis effects by inducing cellular senescence in tumor cells and vascular endothelial cells. While VNP-induced senescence inhibits tumor growth, it concurrently promotes neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which paradoxically enhance tumor progression. To address this challenge, we engineered VNP-SNase, a novel variant capable of releasing the DNA-degrading enzyme <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> nuclease directly within tumors. VNP-SNase significantly inhibited NETs formation across multiple tumor types, effectively promoted anti-tumor immunity, and exhibited improved tumor suppression effects with enhanced biosafety.

Although machine learning offers a potential solution, its application is often impeded by the scarcity of labeled training data in this field. To address these limitations, we developed the self-iterative hierarchical ensemble model (SIM), which integrates hierarchical ensemble learning with a self-training strategy. This approach bypasses the dependency on large-scale experimental datasets, allowing SIM to iteratively expand its predictive capability from minimal initial labeled data. When applied to prokaryotic Agos, SIM identified six high-confidence RNA-targeting candidates, five of which were experimentally validated (83% success rate). Notably, SIM identified three uncharacterized Agos harboring a novel N-terminal domain, defining a previously unrecognized subclass. Biochemical and <em>in vivo</em> validations of <em>Haloferax profundi</em> Ago (<em>Hp</em>Ago) confirmed its RNA cleavage activity and a distinctive RNA modification-sensing capability. We leveraged this latter finding to develop a rapid, cost-effective method for quantifying modified RNAs.

To address these challenges, we reframed our strategy from solely optimizing receptor specificity to enhancing metabolic efficiency, thereby reducing prolonged postoperative exposure and mitigating sustained adverse effects. Using a deep-learning based molecule optimization algorithm, we identified metabolically favorable lead compounds and synthesized 31 novel imidazole-based etomidate derivatives. Among these, ETO-4 emerged as the most promising candidate, retaining potent anesthetic activity while accelerating metabolic clearance and significantly diminishing adrenal suppression.
