Abstract:
Disclosed are extracellular vesicles comprising an engineered targeting protein for targeting the extracellular vesicles to target cells. The targeting protein is a fusion protein that includes a ligand, an engineered glycosylation site, and an exosome-targeting domain. Exemplary extracellular vesicles may include but are not limited to exosomes.
