CD81-guided heterologous EVs present heterogeneous interactions with breast cancer cells by Elena Gurrieri, Giulia Carradori, Michela Roccuzzo, Michael Pancher, Daniele Peroni, Romina Belli, Caterina Trevisan, Michela Notarangelo, Wen-Qiu Huang, Agata S. A. Carreira, Alessandro Quattrone, Guido Jenster, Timo L. M. Ten Hagen, Vito Giuseppe D’Agostino

“…Interestingly, the fusion protein-corresponding transcripts present as full-length mRNAs in recombinant EVs could reach orthotopic breast tumors in JIMT-1-xenografted mice, improving our sensitivity in detecting penetrant cargoes in tissue biopsies. Conclusions This study highlights the quantitative aspects underlying the creation of a platform for secreted heterologous EVs and shows the limits of single receptor-ligand interactions behind EV-cell engagement mechanisms, which now become the pivotal step to predict functional tropism and design new generations of EV-based nanovehicles.…”
