Exosomes in cancer drug resistance: dual roles in therapy failure and emerging precision therapeutics.

Cancer cells use tiny communication particles to resist drugs, but these same particles may deliver therapeutics to overcome that resistance.

Exosomes mediate cancer drug resistance via intercellular transfer of resistance factors and TME modulation, while also offering a precision drug delivery vehicle platform potentially capable of reversing resistance. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
