Cover Story: Exosomes, as natural nanovesicles, have become a spotlight in the field of cancer therapy due to their reduced immunogenicity and ability to overcome physiological barriers. Herein, a multiple targeted engineered exosome nanoplatform (CDs:Gd,Dy-TAT@Exo-RGD), where rare earth element Gd and Dy-doped and TAT peptide-modified carbon dots were encapsulated into RGD peptide engineered exosomes, was constructed for imaging-guided cancer therapy. The nanoplatform improved the tumor therapy effect and enhanced the MRI/CT imaging contrast owing to its multiple targeting peptide modification and exosome encapsulation. This study shows that engineered exosomes are a powerful tool for encapsulating multiple agents to enhance the theranostic efficiency of tumor which provides insight for future precise personalized nanomedicine.View this paper
