Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome and liposome hybrids as transfection nanocarriers of Cas9-GFP plasmid to HEK293T cells. by Behnaz Gharehchelou, Mehrnoush Mehrarya, Yahya Sefidbakht, Vuk Uskoković, Fatemeh Suri, Sareh Arjmand, Farnaz Maghami, Seyed Omid Ranaei Siadat, Saeed Karima, Massoud Vosough

“…The pure exosomes and the hybrids incorporating liposomes obtained by the heating method transfected the cells more efficiently than those containing liposomes obtained by the thin film hydration technique. Interestingly, the method of combining exosomes with liposomes (freeze-thaw vs. direct mixing) proved to be more decisive in determining the size of the vesicular hybrid than their composition. …”
