EVs Potential Goes Beyond Diagnostics

In other words, we’re on our way to customizable, patient-centered, treatment approaches.

For example, we may be able to identify the proteins or microRNA we need to alter in a given patient. Then that same patient’s exosomes can be isolated, modified with the appropriate siRNA or proteins, and then placed back into the patient for treatment (Diagram 1.6).
