Extracellular Vesicles Administered via Intrathecal Injection Mediate Safe Delivery of Nucleic Acids to the Central Nervous System for Gene Therapy. (PubMed, J Extracell Vesicles) - "Furthermore, experiments conducted in both mouse and non-human primate models indicate that intrathecal injection of plasmid-loaded RBCEVs do not lead to any systemic or local acute toxicity. In summary, our findings illustrate the potential of the RBCEV-based platform as a viable and safe approach for nucleic acid delivery to the CNS, facilitating further development of gene therapy for neurological disorders."

IL-12 minicircle delivery via extracellular vesicles as immunotherapy for bladder cancer. (PubMed, Cell Prolif) - "Intratumoral delivery of Il-12 plasmid-loaded RBCEVs suppressed bladder cancer tumour growth, stimulated immune responses and promoted immune cell infiltration. In conclusion, our study demonstrates the promising potential of RBCEVs as an effective, safe and redosable nucleic acid drug delivery platform for IL-12."
