Cover Feature: Polydopamine‐Mediated Surface Functionalization of Exosomes (ChemNanoMat 6/2021)
Source abstract
Abstract
Exosomes were non-covalently functionalized using the self-polymerization of dopamine and subsequent PEGylation via Thiol-Michael addition. This rapid and versatile exosome coating method improved the colloidal stability of exosomes and endowed them with tunable fluorescence and coating thickness. Collectively, this aggregation-free non-covalent coating approach expands the potential of exosomes in various applications without requiring complex equipment or reagents. More information can be found in the Communication by Hirotaka Ejima et al.
