Extracellular Vesicles for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Applications provides an introduction to exosomes and extracellular vesicles, including their unique properties and characterization, before detailing the most-utilized isolation, purification, and surface engineering techniques for their preparation as therapeutic and diagnostic agents. This book reviews recent developments in interdisciplinary research on exosome structure, properties, and engineering approaches as well as their use in diagnosis and treatment of a variety of illnesses such as cancer, tuberculosis, Alzheimer's disease, ophthalmic diseases, and others. Extracellular Vesicles for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Applications is an important reference for those interested in the development and application of exosomes and extracellular vesicles as biomaterials for us in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
