What is it about?
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous vesicles originating from several cells and released in body fluids. Delivery of therapeutic molecules such as miRNAs, through EVs may be an innovative avenue for cancer therapy. Authors review the various strategies for miRNA loading into EVs and highlight studies of EVs-mediated miRNA delivery which have been employed for cancer treatment.
