Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are lipid bilayer nanoparticles, naturally produced by plant cells, with sizes ranging from 50 to 500 nm. Recent studies have highlighted their great potential in the biotechnological and medical fields, due natural origin, high biocompatibility intrinsic therapeutic properties. PDEVs contain a complex biological cargo of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids secondary metabolites, including antioxidants anti-inflammatory molecules, making them ideal for biomedical applications such as drug delivery. These play key role intercellular communication gene regulation, proving be particularly promising personalized medicine. ability improve stability bioavailability, optimizing targeted release minimizing side effects. Despite some challenges, compositional variability need standardized protocols, at gunsight innovative research aimed improving loading capacity specificity. This review aims provide comprehensive overview PDEVs, exploring structure, isolation methods, functional characteristics, applications, highlighting advantages over synthetic nanoparticles animal-derived vesicles, leading an sustainable solution development new approaches.

Most eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have the potential to secrete a group of structures/membrane-bound organelles, collectively referred as extracellular vesicles (EVs), which offer several advantages producer/receiver cells. This review provides an overview EVs from plant sources with emphasis on their health-promoting possible use therapeutic agents. highlights essential biological effects plant-derived vesicles, including immune modulation, anticancer activities, protection against chemical toxicity pathogens, well anti-aging, anti-melanogenesis, anti-arthritic effects, along ongoing clinical studies. Evidence revealed that EVs’ contents exert beneficial properties through regulating important signaling pathways by transferring miRNAs other components. Taken all together, data proposed can be utilized nutritional compounds agents, such drug carriers. However, this emerging research area requires further in vitro/in vivo studies trials determine exact underlying mechanisms positive health treating various diseases.
