Langellotto MD, Rassu G, Serri C, Demartis S, Giunchedi P, Gavini E (2024) Plant-derived extracellular vesicles: a synergetic combination of a drug delivery system and a source of natural bioactive compounds. Springer Nature 11(3) doi: 10.1007/s13346-024-01698-4
Objective: This review intends to provide adequate tools for studying and developing drug delivery systems based on plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs).
Summary: Freeze-drying could be useful for preserving plant-derived exosomes at higher temperatures without affecting their size, morphology or other parameters. Still, it may reduce protein activity, as reported by Noguchi and coworkers, who observed a diminished biological activity of protein saporin after its encapsulation in EVs and freeze-drying.
