Significant progress was made in recent years in the development of polymer nanocarriers for drug delivery. Many interesting concepts exist that allow for controlled release of a large variety of payloads upon triggers such as pH or temperature. Yet, a major disadvantage despite ongoing research is a lack of specific targeting towards cancer cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) on the other hand do possess this potential for targeted delivery ...
