Plant-Derived Exosomal Nanoparticles Inhibit Pathogenicity of Porphyromonas gingivalis

Summary: Plant exosomes protect plants against infection; however, whether edible plant exosomes can protect mammalian hosts against infection is not known. In this study, we show that ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) are selectively taken up by the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingiv...
