The talk will focus on advanced exosome-based drug delivery systems in the context of skeletal tissue regeneration, particularly targeting bone repair and osteoporosis. The presentation will provide an overview of the challenges in stem cell-based therapies and skeletal tissue repair and the need for innovative, alternative drug delivery systems to address these challenges. Next, the talk will delve into the design and mechanism of exosome mimetics, a next-generation nanoparticle-based drug delivery system that mimics the properties of natural exosomes, but with enhanced therapeutical efficacy and production throughput. These systems have the potential to overcome the barriers of targeted treatment delivery, which are critical in treating complex skeletal conditions. The presentation will emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of this research, highlighting future applications of these novel drug delivery technologies
