Engineering small extracellular vesicles with multivalent DNA probes for precise tumor targeting and enhanced synergistic therapy.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have gained wide attention as efficient carriers for disease treatment. However, the proclivity of sEVs to be ingested by source cells is insufficient to accurately target specific sites, posing a challenge in realizing controlled targeting treatment. Here, we developed an engineered sEV nanocarrier capable of precise tumor targeting and enhanced synergistic therapy.

Timing of systemic resistance induced by local exogenous ABA application within clonal network of stoloniferous herb subjected to low water availability.

Resistance traits of plants can be activated both at the damaged site and undamaged parts. Systemic resistance induced by local exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application alleviated negative effect of low water availability on growth performance of clonal plant. However, timing of systemic resistance was poorly understood.
