Thrilled to share our latest work in ACS Nano!

We developed a drug-free strategy to reduce melanosome transfer, a key process in hyperpigmentation and melanoma progression, and to broadly modulate vesicle-based cell communication.

Grateful to a fantastic team!

Engineering Liposomes with Cell Membrane Proteins to Disrupt Melanosome Transfer between Cells
Cells communicate by transporting vesicles and organelles, which is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, dysregulated vesicle transfer between cells can contribute to several disea...

Better late than never! Thrilled to share our recent work published in Adv. Funct. Mat.! We engineer asymmetric vesicles that can outperform symmetric ones in drug delivery - and can also deliver mRNA, proteins and even Cas9/sgRNA complexes to cells. advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
