▎ 摘  要

As nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have enormous potential as safe and effective vehicles to deliver drugs into lesion locations. Despite promising advances with sEV-based drug delivery systems, there are still challenges to drug loading into sEVs, which hinder the clinical applications of sEVs. Herein, we report an exogenous drug -agnostic chiral graphene quantum dots (GQDs) sEV-loading platform, based on chirality matching with the sEV lipid bilayer. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic chemical and biological drugs can be functionalized or adsorbed onto GQDs by pi-pi stacking and van der Waals interactions. By tuning the ligands and GQD size to optimize its chirality, we demonstrate drug loading efficiency of 66.3% and 64.1% for doxorubicin and siRNA, which is significantly higher than other reported sEV loading techniques.
