Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale luminal vesicles that participate in the information transfer of proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids between cells, thereby playing a role in the treatment of diseases and the delivery of nutrients. In recent years, plant-derived EVs (PDEVs) containing bioactive compounds have attracted increasing interest due to their better biocompatibility and lower cytotoxicity in healthy tissues. In the biomedical field, PDEVs have been used as cargo carriers to achieve various functions through engineering modification techniques. This review focuses on the biogenesis, isolation, and identification of PDEVs. We discuss the surface functionalization of PDEVs to enhance therapeutic efficacy, thereby improving their efficiency as a next-generation drug delivery vehicle and their feasibility to treat diseases across the physiological barriers, while critically analyzing the current challenges and opportunities.

Abstract
Effective strategies in prolonging life- and health span are increasingly recognized as acting as mild stressors. Micronutrients and other dietary compounds such as (poly)phenols may act as moderate stressors and confer protective effects via a preconditioning phenomenon. (Poly)phenols and their metabolites may not need to reach their target cells to produce biologically significant responses, so that cells exposed to it at entry points may communicate signals to other cells. One of such "communication" mechanisms could occur through extracellular vesicles, including exosomes. In vitro loading of exosomes with (poly)phenols has been used to achieve targeted exosome homing. However, it is unknown if similar shuttling phenomena occur in vivo upon (poly)phenols consumption. Alternatively, exposure to (poly)phenols might trigger responses in exposed organs, which can subsequently signal to cells distant from exposure sites via exosomes. The currently available studies favor indirect effects of (poly)phenols, tempting to suggest a "billiard-like" or "domino-like" propagating effect mediated by quantitative and qualitative changes in exosomes triggered by (poly)phenols. In this review, we discuss the limited current data available on how (poly)phenols exposure can potentially modify exosomes activity, highlighting major questions regarding how (epi)genetic, physiological, and gut microbiota factors can modulate and be modulated by the putative exosome-(poly)phenolic compound interplay that still remains to be fully understood.

Biological implications of PTEN upregulation and altered sodium/iodide symporter intracellular distribution in resveratrol-suppressed anaplastic thyroid cancer cells. J Cancer 2020; 11:6883-6891.

Abstract
Objective: Anaplastic thyroid cancer/ATC is a highly aggressive malignancy with extremely poor prognosis. Resveratrol/Res promotes re-differentiation of cancer cells and exerts inhibitory effects on ATC cells. Sodium/iodide symporter/NIS and phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromsome ten/PTEN levels are positively correlated with the grade of thyroid cancer differentiation, while the impact of Res on them remain unknown. Materials and Methods: The patterns of NIS and PTEN expression and intracellular distribution in THJ-16T and THJ-21T ATC and Nthy-ori 3-1 normal thyroid cells and their relevance with Res-caused ATC suppression were investigated via multiple experimental methods. E-cadherin was cited as a re-differentiation biomarker of ATC cells. Results: MTT and EdU cell proliferation assays showed distinct growth suppression in ATC cells after Res treatment. TUNEL staining revealed extensive apoptosis of Res-treated THJ-16T and THJ-21T rather than Nthy-ori 3-1 cells. Western blotting, immunocytochemical/ICC and double-labeled immunofluorescent/IF staining showed increased PTEN levels accompanied with distinct NIS and PTEN nuclear co-translocation in Res-treated THJ-16T and THJ-21T cells. E-cadherin but not NIS appeared on the outer membrane. Conclusion: PTEN upregulation and the concurrent NIS and PTEN nuclear translocation in Res-suppressed ATC cells may indicate the better therapeutic outcome and would be a group of beneficial prognostic factors of ATCs.

Abstract
(Poly)phenols have varied biological activities that may account for the beneficial effects of fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy diet. Although their cellular absorption and their many mechanisms of action have been partly elucidated, their transport through the systemic circulation, other than their binding to albumin, is poorly described. We aimed at determining whether (poly)phenols can be transported by extracellular vesicles. We supplemented rats with a dietary grape seed polyphenol extract (GSPE) and we quantified (poly)phenols and their metabolites at 3 and 7 h post-gavage. After quantitative LC-MS/MS analysis of circulating aglycones, and microbial-derived, or phase II-derived metabolites we recorded a quantitatively very modest transport of (poly)phenols in plasma exosomes when isolated by commercial ultracentrifugation or precipitation kits. Our data suggest that GSPE-derived (poly)phenols are minimally, if at all, transported by exosomes.

Abstract
The growing interest of oncologists in natural compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids is encouraging the development of innovative and efficient carriers for the delivery of those drugs. This study examines carboxymethyl chitosan-based microcapsules created by spray drying as a method for delivering biologically active compounds isolated from the Cistus herb. Effects of sterilization and encapsulation on the polyphenol and flavonoid content of Cistus extract were investigated to optimize the production process. Furthermore, in vitro studies were carried out to examine the anticancer properties of sterilized polyphenols and flavonoids on glioblastoma cells isolated from oncological patients. Acquired results show high anticancer potential towards glioblastoma as well as low cytotoxicity towards non-cancer cell lines by the substances in question. Steam sterilization is shown to affect the content of biologically active compounds the least. We demonstrate that the investigated form of drug encapsulation is both efficient and potentially possible to scale up from the viewpoint of the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Poly(2-(3-((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)-3-oxopropyl)ethyleneamido) (PHAOE) is an amphiphilic polypeptide. The self-assembly is significant, but the ultrafast dynamic analyses of the peptide self-assembly are exiguous and worth further exploring. In this investigation, the temporal dynamic characteristics of the aggregates and unaggregated PHAOEs are mined by the two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy. The homogeneous and inhomogeneous diffusion processes of the carbonyl stretching modes of the unaggregated PHAOEs are slower than those of the self-assemblies. The inhomogeneous spectral diffusion proportion of the biopolymer PHAOE in methanol is greater than that in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The solvation shells surround the aggregates and unaggregated PHAOEs in the protic solvent methanol, but there are not any solvation shells around the aggregates or unaggregated PHAOEs in the dipolar solvent DMSO. The massive hydrogen-bonded monolayer self-assembly has merely an aggregate of PHAOEs and no solvation shell in DMSO. But the hydrogen-bonded bilayer self-assembly has a self-assembled methanol shell and an interior aggregate of PHAOEs in methanol. The self-assemblies of PHAOEs motivate the methanols to self-assemble. The large delocalized amide structure results in the fast spectral diffusion of the carbonyl stretching mode.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Research on the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in disease pathogenesis has been rapidly growing over the last two decades. As EVs can mediate intercellular communication, they can ultimately facilitate both normal and pathological processes through the delivery of their bioactive cargo, which may include nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. EVs have emerged as important regulators of brain tumors, capable of transferring oncogenic proteins, receptors, and small RNAs that may support brain tumor progression, including in the most common type of brain cancer, glioma. Investigating the role of EVs in glioma is crucial, as the most malignant glioma, glioblastoma (GBM), is incurable with a dismal median survival of 12-15 months. EV research in GBM has primarily focused on circulating brain tumor-derived vesicles in biofluids, such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), investigating their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Gaining a greater understanding of the role of EVs and their cargo in brain tumor progression may contribute to the discovery of novel diagnostics and therapeutics. In this review, we summarize the known and emerging functions of EVs in glioma biology and pathogenesis, as well as their emerging biomarker potential.
