EXTH-38. ENGINEERED EXOSOMES FOR THERAPEUTIC GENE DELIVERY IN BRAIN TUMORS

The poor outcome of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) is at least partly due to the inability to deliver therapeutic agents to the tumor. We have shown that exosomes, naturally occurring nano-size extracellular vesicles, are capable of delivering antiglioma microRNAs (MiRs) to brain tumors (Lang, FM et al. Neuro Oncol, 2018;20(3):380–390). However, our studies suggested that there is significant opportunity to increase packaging efficiency and...
