Congratulations! Professor Chen has been elected as a member of the Academia Europaea.



Proteins face several challenges in biomedicine, including issues with antibody production, degradation by proteases, rapid clearance by the kidneys, and short half-lives. To address these problems, various nano delivery systems have been developed, with virus-like particles (VLPs) emerging as a leading solution. VLPs, which are self-assembled protein complexes, offer effective encapsulation and transport of proteins. They provide enhanced stability, extended circulation time, preserved biological activity, improved targeting for therapies or imaging, and reduced side effects due to minimized systemic....
Rationale: The level of miR-206-3p in the plasma and temporal cortex is increased in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. miR-206-3p antagomir injected into hippocampus ameliorates cognitive deficits by enhancing the level of BDNF. However, the trauma caused by brain injection and susceptibility to degradation limit its application. Methods: To overcome these challenges, we constructed engineered extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC-EVs) loaded with miR-206-3p antagomir (MSC-EVs-anta) by electroporation technology, and explored the therapeutic effects of MSC-EVs-anta delivered....
