Eliminating blood oncogenic exosomes into the small intestine with aptamer-functionalized nanoparticles

Oncogenic exosomes can circulate in the blood, but their selective removal has not been possible. Here the authors show that aptamer-functionalised mesoporous silica nanoparticles can find to a specific population of circulating exosomes and eliminate them via the hepatobiliary route.
