Harnessing semen-derived exosomes for noninvasive fundus drug delivery

SUMMARY

Chinese scientists publish a study showing that tiny natural bubbles (exosomes) extracted from pig semen can be turned into safe eye drops. These exosomes temporarily loosen the tight barriers in the eye (like the cornea and blood-retinal barrier) thanks to a protein called EGF on their surface.

This allows a loaded anti-cancer nanozyme drug to reach the back of the eye (retina) far better than regular drops.
