Happy to share our recent work on Extracellular vesicle hydrogel. Now hopefully researchers in the EV community do not have to worry about the minimal loading efficiency of EV into a pre-formed hydrogel. Instead, one can use EV itself as a building block for hydrogels.

Injectable extracellular vesicle hydrogels with tunable viscoelasticity for depot vaccine - Nature Communications
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a critical role in mediating intercellular communication, but the poor tissue retention of EVs has limited the efficacy of EV-based therapies. Here, the authors repor...
