Harnessing Tumor Cell‐Derived Exosomes for Immune Rejection Management in Corneal Transplantation by Jieru Yang, Huanmin Kang, Yingyi Liu, Shan Lu, Huihui Wu, Bikui Zhang, Yan He, Wenhu Zhou

“…Proteomic analyses reveal differential expression of pivotal proteins in B16‐Exo, notably the JAK2 protein within the JAK‐STAT signaling pathway, which has been mechanistically demonstrated to amplify the activity of myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and inhibit T cell proliferation. These findings demonstrate the significant immunomodulatory effect of B16‐Exo in transplant immunology, supporting the continued exploration of tumor‐derived exosomes as a platform to uncover novel immunosuppressive mechanisms in transplantation.…”
