Recent Advances in Exosomes as Drug Carriers

Dear Colleagues,

Exosomes are among the EVs that have been the most extensively studied, and are produced by cells exhibiting a variety of functions and targets. They are frequently utilized to transport therapeutic cargo for medical treatments and can be modified to improve their capacity for the distribution of drugs. In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight innovative works concerning the versatile capabilities of these vesicles to be used as natural nanoparticles for personalized medicine in the treatment of various pathologies.

As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue of Pharamaceutics (IF 6.525; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/Pharmaceutics), entitled “Recent Advances in Exosomes as Drug Carriers”, I invite you to submit your valuable contributions, in the form of original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Exosome nanoformulation;
• Exosome mimicry;
• Exosomes as diagnostic tools.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.
