Creative Biolabs officially announced today the expansion of its plant-derived extracellular vesicle development platform to support advancing research in natural nanoscale delivery systems.



SHIRLEY, NY, September 24, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs), including exosome-like nanovesicles (PELNVs), are being investigated as alternative nanoscale delivery systems because of their natural origin, potential scalability, and reported biocompatibility in experimental models. Their composition and functional properties can vary substantially with plant source, isolation method, and preparation conditions.

Creative Biolabs has expanded its plant-derived EV research capabilities to support the isolation, purification, characterization, cargo loading, and preclinical evaluation of vesicles derived from edible plant sources. These custom services are designed to support researchers investigating plant-derived vesicles as biological nanoparticles and experimental delivery systems.

Research Interest in Edible Plant-Derived EVs
Plant-derived EVs have attracted interest because experimental studies have reported favorable biocompatibility and interactions with biological barriers, although these properties depend heavily on vesicle source, composition, preparation, and the experimental model. These endogenous cargos—including small RNAs, specific lipids, and secondary metabolites—are being investigated for potential biological activity, while the vesicles themselves are also being explored as delivery vehicles.

To support diverse research applications, Creative Biolabs provides tailored services for EVs from specific plant sources:

Skin Biology and Tissue-Repair Research: Strawberry-derived EVs are being investigated in oxidative-stress, skin biology, and tissue-repair research, including studies examining antioxidant-associated cargos and cellular responses relevant to extracellular-matrix biology.
Oral Delivery and Gastrointestinal Research: Grapefruit-derived EVs have been investigated for oral-delivery applications, including studies of vesicle stability under gastrointestinal conditions and their potential use as experimental carriers for intestinal delivery.
Inflammation, Microbial, and Immune Research: Garlic-derived EVs are being studied for their molecular cargo and potential effects on inflammatory, microbial, and immune-related pathways. These properties have generated interest in their use as experimental systems for studying plant-derived bioactive delivery and immunomodulatory mechanisms.

From EV Isolation to Cargo Loading and Preclinical Evaluation
Creative Biolabs' service platform encompasses technical support throughout the experimental pipeline. The workflow includes the isolation and purification of crude plant extracts, multi-dimensional characterization (NTA, TEM, WB), experimental cargo loading (such as encapsulating small molecules, siRNAs, and peptides), and subsequent in vitro and in vivo biological activity assessments.

"Plant-derived extracellular vesicles are attracting growing research interest because their composition and biological properties can vary substantially across plant sources," stated a scientist at Creative Biolabs. "A systematic workflow for isolation, characterization, cargo loading, and functional evaluation can help researchers compare these vesicles and investigate their potential in different experimental applications."
