Patent Application Titled "Cellular Membrane Vesicles And Uses Thereof" Published Online (USPTO 20230390202).

A patent application titled "Cellular Membrane Vesicles And Uses Thereof" has been published online by the US Patent and Trademark Office. The patent application, filed by inventors Samik Das and Eleftherios Papoutsakis, is assigned to the University of Delaware. The invention relates to stable non-naturally occurring cellular membrane vesicles that can deliver active agents into target cells. These vesicles have a tunable size and do not contain cytoplasmic components that may interfere with the biological activity of the cargo. The patent application also describes a method for delivering active agents into target cells using these vesicles. The active agents can include proteins, nucleic acids, and organic molecules, among others. The vesicles can be prepared by isolating the biological membrane from a parent cell and encapsulating a liquid medium containing the active agent. The patent application provides detailed information on the composition, preparation, and use of these cellular membrane vesicles. [Extracted from the article]
