Core Questions
Four questions that define our foundational research
Each question maps to a critical transition — from mechanism discovery to deployable product. These are not abstract inquiries; they are engineering challenges we are actively solving.
How are signals designed?
We engineer the directional loading of specific mRNA, microRNA, and bioactive proteins into exosome cargo — making signal output purposeful, controlled, and batch-consistent.
How is function preserved?
We study bioactivity retention mechanisms across varied delivery environments, ensuring full-chain functional integrity from carrier preparation to target cell uptake.
How is bioactivity stabilized?
We develop formulation stability and lyophilization processes that advance technology from 'lab-effective' to fully verifiable across preparation, storage, and use.
How is preparation standardized?
We establish engineered manufacturing and scale-up pathways — building quality consistency systems that bridge single-sample validation to repeatable platform output.
Six Research Directions
From information decoding to engineering scale-up
Around the synthetic biology exosome platform, we have established six mutually reinforcing foundational research directions — from information decoding, pathway modulation, and delivery engineering, to homeostasis mechanisms, formulation stability, and scalable preparation.
Cargo & Mechanism
Exosome Information Cargo & Mechanism of Action
We investigate the multi-layered biological information carried by exosomes — including mRNA, microRNA, bioactive proteins, and lipid structures — decoding how these cargoes participate in cell-to-cell communication and influence inflammation, repair, antioxidant response, and tissue renewal across different microenvironments.
Pathway Modulation
Key Pathway Modulation & Cell Fate Research
At the mechanistic level, we continuously study how exosomes and related bioactive systems modulate key biological pathways — Wnt/β-catenin, TGF/Smad, NF-kB, Nrf2, SIRT1/FOXO3 — building a clear mechanistic map of how different signal combinations influence cellular youth maintenance, chronic inflammation suppression, and repair capacity.
Delivery & Targeting
Delivery System & Targeted Enrichment Research
Technical applicability depends largely on delivery efficiency. We focus on exosome carrier properties including membrane fusion capacity, local enrichment, trans-barrier delivery potential, and tissue retention and release behavior — especially in mucosal, skin, and local tissue microenvironments — exploring stable, controllable information transfer without live-cell complexity.
Anti-inflammatory & Homeostasis
Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant & Homeostasis Restoration
We treat inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue vulnerability as shared underlying mechanisms across multiple application scenarios. Research covers NF-kB/TNF-α/IL-6/IL-1β inflammatory pathway modulation, Nrf2/SOD/HO-1/CAT antioxidant system activation, and barrier protein (FLG, CLDN1, IVL) expression support for comprehensive homeostasis restoration.
Formulation Stability
Formulation Stability & Bioactivity Preservation
For platform-type technology, mechanism validity is only the first step — the true translational value lies in whether function can be stably preserved through preparation, storage, transport, and use. We prioritize formulation design, stability validation, lyophilization protection, reconstitution behavior, and bioactivity preservation research — bridging lab-proven efficacy to repeatable, verifiable, and deliverable outcomes.
Scalable Manufacturing
Standardized Preparation & Scale-up Translation
Our foundational research extends beyond mechanism discovery to engineering manufacturing capability — advancing systematic research from signal system construction, carrier preparation, and quality consistency control to process scale-up, transforming complex frontier biotechnology into a platform with standardized potential.
Core technology research enables us to continuously answer one key question: how to transform complex biological signals into designable, deliverable, verifiable, and scalable technical capabilities.
