Abstract

Plant-derived exosomes (PDEs), or plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs), are a new technology that has brought a revolution to the world of nanomedicine and nutraceutical delivery. These nanosized vesicles that naturally are released by several types of plant cells contain structural and functional similarities to mammalian exosomes and have several benefits, including biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, abundance, and affordability. PDEs represent a variety of biomolecules; lipids, proteins, RNAs and phytochemicals interacting with one another to mediate intercellular and interspecies communication. Their natural resistance in the gastrointestinal tract and penetration of biological barriers indicate their potential to deliver therapeutic factors in targeted cancers, inflammation, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, modification of PDE membranes has been successfully demonstrated to be effective in modifying the membranes to have a high drug loading speed, tissue targeting and controlled release. In addition, ginger, grape and broccoli are edible plants that offer safe and sustainable pool of PDE isolation.
