This study investigates the role of tetraspanins in EV bioengineering by knocking out CD9, CD63, and CD81 in HEK293T cells and shows increased engineered EV production upon reintroduction of tetraspanin-fusion constructs.

This paper develops hPep peptide-based nanoparticles for systemic mRNA delivery, showing effective tissue distribution and protein expression in mice and non-human primates.

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 and HSV-1 induce amyloid aggregation of proteins in human CSF, leading to soluble protein depletion, suggesting a potential mechanism linking viral infections to neurodegenerative diseases.
