Synthetic Poly(lactic-co-glycolic Acid) Microvesicles as a Feasible Carbon Monoxide-Releasing Platform for Cancer Treatment.

Biogenic microvesicles (MVs) play a pivotal role in intercellular signal communication, thus initiating critical biological responses such as the proliferation of cancer cells, gene and protein transport, and chemo-drug resistance. In addition, they have been recognized as having great potential in drug delivery applications. However, the productivity of biologically produced MVs is not sufficient for clinical applications.
