Abstract  

Exosomes are nano-vesicles secreted by cells with diameter ranging from 30 to 150 nm. Attributed to superior biocompatibility, excellent loading capacity and membrane ease to be functionalized, exosomes are considered to be a promising drug delivery carrier. Among the study of tumor therapy, exosomes with targeted recognition can be used to reduce off-target effects so as to enhance the therapeutic effect. The research progresses of different modification methods to enhance the targeting ability of exosomes were concluded, the recent research using exosomes as specific drug delivery carrier to target tumor cells was summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of exosomes as rising drug delivery carrier, which provide feasible directions and strategies for the designing of exosomes equipped with targeting specific ability were elaborated.
