ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are under evaluation as therapeutics or vehicles for drug delivery. Preclinical studies of EVs often use mice other animal models to assess efficacy and disposition. However, most derived from human cells, they may elicit immune responses which contribute toxicities enhanced EV clearance. Furthermore, different cell sources comprising various cargo differ with respect immunogenicity toxicity. To EV‐induced response toxicity, we dosed C57BL/6...
Cyclophosphamide (Cy) is a potent immunosuppressive agent that selectively toxic to lymphocytes proliferating in response recent antigen stimulation. In animal models, both graft rejection and GVHD after histoincompatible BMT can be inhibited by the posttransplantation administration of high-dose Cy. Therefore, phase I clinical trial was undertaken determine minimal conditioning, including Cy, permits stable engraftment partially HLA-mismatched marrow (up 3 HLA antigens) from first-degree...

Previous cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) generally have low cytosolic delivery efficiencies, because of inefficient endosomal escape. In this study, a family small, amphipathic cyclic was found to be highly efficient CPPs, with efficiencies up 120% (compared 2.0% for Tat). These CPPs bind directly the plasma membrane phospholipids and enter mammalian cells via endocytosis, followed by release from endosome. Their total cellular uptake efficiency correlates positively binding affinity...
