Concurrent Session
Chair
Speakers
Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) can shuttle information between cells. While the significance of natural EV cargo delivery is debated, bioengineering techniques enable efficient loading of EVs, including with components of gene editing machineries. This session will highlight various strategies for loading EVs with gene editing components and discuss concepts for increasing their effective delivery for functional purposes.
