Crosstalk Between the Immune System and Plant-Derived Nanovesicles: A Study of Allergen Transporting

Background: Nanometer-sized membrane-surrounded vesicles from different parts of plants including fruits are gaining increasing attention due to their anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies, and as nanovectors for molecular delivery of exogenous substan...
