Extracellular Vesicles (EVs)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized particles secreted by cells, containing various substances such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and small molecules. EVs are gaining attention as key mediators for delivering bioactive components.
Advantages of EVs
Excellent Delivery Efficiency: EVs can effectively deliver bioactive components into cells, making them promising candidates for next-generation drug delivery systems.
High Stability: EVs protect their internal contents well and, due to their high stability, deliver components to the human body without degradation or alteration.
This study aims to comprehensively analyze food-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) to understand the relationship between food and health, propose a new paradigm, and develop novel materials. By identifying the effects of food EVs on the human body and leveraging the functional properties of EV-derived substances, it seeks to provide solutions for health improvement. Additionally, the study focuses on overcoming the economic and productivity challenges of existing EV materials to develop safe and high-performance new EV materials.
Expected Outcomes
Understanding the health functionality of food EVs and their gene regulation mechanisms.
Development of high-performance and safe food-derived EVs.
Discovery and commercialization of novel EV materials.
Applications
Development of functional foods, medical foods, and pharmaceuticals.
Utilization in functional foods targeting specific health goals, such as anti-aging.
Application in gene therapy and drug delivery as novel materials.
EV Compound Library Construction: Collect and systematize metabolites and compounds contained in food-derived EVs to establish a comprehensive library.
In vivo Delivery Efficiency Analysis: Evaluate the bioavailability of food-derived EVs in vivo to study their potential for functional applications.
