Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Exosome is one of vesicles secreted from cells. Recently, it has been revealed that disease-derived exosomes are involved in the onset and malignant alteration of various diseases. It is no doubt that the technology-based artificial control of dynamics and biological function in disease-derived exosomes enables to suppress the onset and malignant alteration of diseases. The objective of this study was to develop a technology called “in vivo nano-surgery technology”, which can regulate the internal biological information of disease-derived exosome by making use of nanotechnology. To achieve the technology, in this study, a biodegradable nanocomplex was attempted to prepare by the modification of antibody with an affinity for the exosome and the encapsulation of a membrane-disrupting peptide and regulation factor.
