FMSG: Bio: Advancing Scalable Production and Quantification of Extracellular Vesicles — NSF Award to University of Alabama Tuscalo

Cells release small particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) to communicate with each other. Such EVs may be useful for drug delivery and for treating diseases. At present, it is difficult to manufacture high-quality EVs consistently. EVs produced in bioreactors vary greatly in size and composition. In medical app

AbstractCells release small particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) to communicate with each other. Such EVs may be useful for drug delivery and for treating diseases. At present, it is difficult to manufacture high-quality EVs consistently. EVs produced in bioreactors vary greatly in size and composition. In medical applications, this variability makes it difficult to apply consistent EV dosages. This project will develop new biomanufacturing methods to manufacture EVs accurately, consistently, a
