Aims: Fungi-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (ENs) are emerging as a highly promising class of nanoparticles, particularly noted for their cost-effective production. However, their impact on immune regulation and their potential as anti-tumor agents need further exploration. Our study specifically focused on the investigation of the immunomodulatory and anti-tumor properties of ENs derived from Cordyceps militaris, an edible fungus that had achieved large-scale commercial production, referred to as CMDENs.

Efficient preparation of PDENs continues to be a major challenge.
