2+ hour, 11+ min ago   (135+ words) Conceptual overview of a modular framework for engineering naïve EVs into programmable therapeutic platforms. EV engineering involves three dimensions: cargo loading, surface functionalization, and biomaterial-assisted delivery. Engineered EVs can target three major therapeutic niches: oncological, regenerative, and neural, through modulation…...
