Characteristics, bioengineering and role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in health and disease. EVs contain bioactive cargo in the form of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids which exert biological effects on target cells and thereby influence their fate. To improve functionality and specificity of EVs, they can be engineered by surface modification and/or loading a specific therapeutic cargo. Native and modified EVs can be used as next-generation cell-free therapeutics to improve health. On the contrary, EVs released in pathological conditions by, e.g. cancer cells or infected cells, participate in disease spreading and progression.
