For example, Mu et al used 150,000\u00d7g centrifugation for 90&nbsp;minutes, while Kim et al applied 100,000\u00d7g for 70&nbsp;minutes, resulting in uneven vesicle size distribution, with some exceeding 1,000 nm in diameter, making them prone to rapid immune clearance in vivo.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0032\" id=\"ref-cit0032\">32<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0069\" id=\"ref-cit0069\">69<\/a><\/sup> Chen\u2019s research group found that optimizing centrifugation speed and duration effectively reduced aggregation and enhanced dispersibility.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0012\">12<\/a><\/sup> Additionally, protective agents such as trehalose have been shown to reduce vesicle size from an average of 631.4 nm to 380.4 nm following ultracentrifugation.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0128\" id=\"ref-cit0128\">128<\/a><\/sup> However, compared to adding trehalose during the resuspension stage, introducing trehalose prematurely during the centrifugation stage may interfere with impurity removal, counteracting its stabilizing effects. Most alternative separation methods except ultracentrifugation are limited by their separation principles and costs, making it difficult to overcome the constraints of large-scale production. Thus, in the future, optimizing PD-EVLPs isolation technologies will require breakthroughs in several key areas: (1) refining ultracentrifugation parameters, particularly adjusting speed and duration, to minimize aggregation while maintaining purity and recovery rates; (2) developing alternative separation techniques, such as microfluidic-based isolation,<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0129\" id=\"ref-cit0129\">129<\/a><\/sup> to mitigate contamination risks and enhance efficiency; (3) enhancing the adaptability of standardized workflows by adjusting buffer systems and preprocessing strategies based on plant characteristics to improve PD-EVLPs stability and functionality.

For example, tea tree flower-derived nanovesicles accumulate in the liver, lungs, and tumor tissues within six hours post-injection, reaching peak concentration at 24&nbsp;hours, with some vesicles still detectable after 72 hours.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0014\">14<\/a><\/sup> In contrast, certain PD-EVLPs, such as those derived from <em>Catharanthus roseus<\/em><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0180\">180<\/a><\/sup> and <em>Panax ginseng<\/em>,<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0182\" id=\"ref-cit0182\">182<\/a><\/sup> are rapidly eliminated by the liver and spleen, though the precise mechanisms governing their clearance remain unclear.<\/p>\n<p>To extend PD-EVLPs circulation time and enhance therapeutic accumulation, strategies that prevent immune recognition have been explored.

This approach can be applied to both localized effects (eg, skincare and antimicrobial) and more targeted systemic effects when necessary. For example, <em>Panax ginseng<\/em>-derived nanovesicles, when injected intradermally, are efficiently internalized by skin cells within 24&nbsp;hours, demonstrating effective localized delivery to the skin.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0154\" id=\"ref-cit0154\">154<\/a><\/sup> Similarly, <em>aloe<\/em>-derived nanovesicles show strong skin penetration during non-invasive transdermal delivery, enabling targeted treatment of skin conditions.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0012\">12<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The high membrane fusion capability and mechanical stability of PD-EVLPs make them ideal carriers for both localized and systemic therapeutic effects. Membrane fusion capability enables these vesicles to effectively deliver therapeutic agents to the target cells by merging with cell membranes, thereby improving the bioavailability of the payload. Mechanical stability ensures that the vesicles retain their integrity during transit, protecting the encapsulated compounds from degradation and enhancing the efficacy of the treatment.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0186\" id=\"ref-cit0186\">186<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>While localized administration typically refers to direct action at the site of disease, in some cases, such as transdermal delivery, the therapeutic effect extends beyond the skin to deeper tissues. For instance, transdermal treatments for superficial nerve damage aim to achieve localized effects on the skin and underlying nerves. In contrast, direct gel implantation into the spinal cord for the treatment of spinal cord injury involves localized delivery to the site of injury, with the potential for systemic benefits, such as motor function recovery.

More precise methods, such as isotope labeling and photoacoustic imaging, could provide a clearer picture of their integrity and biodistribution. Beyond tracking, immune clearance\u2014particularly by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS), poses a significant hurdle. However, activating the immune system may not necessarily be a bad thing, as it could also trigger tumor immunity.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, surface modifications such as biomimetic coatings can enhance tissue penetration and reduce immunogenicity.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0189\" id=\"ref-cit0189\">189<\/a><\/sup> Another key challenge is PD-EVLPs instability in acidic environments, which complicates oral delivery but could facilitate drug release in tumors.

Additionally, significant lipid compositional differences between plant-derived and mammalian vesicles may compromise membrane fusion stability and modification efficiency. These effects warrant further investigation.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenges and Future Directions in Engineering Modifications<\/h3>\n<p>Regardless of the modification approach used, it is crucial to consider the potential impact of these modifications on the intrinsic properties of PD-EVLPs. Changes in surface charge and modification density may affect the targeting ability of PD-EVLPs and therapeutic efficacy. Additionally, the distinct membrane compositions of plant-derived and animal-derived vesicles present a significant challenge, as many engineering strategies developed for mammalian extracellular vesicles may not be fully applicable to PD-EVLPs.<\/p>\n<p>Future research should focus on evaluating the dynamic stability of PD-EVLPs in vivo and developing real-time monitoring technologies to track modification states within biological systems. Furthermore, proteomic analysis of PD-EVLPs interactions with biological components may provide new insights to optimize modification strategies. While these technologies remain largely experimental, their long-term safety and large-scale production feasibility should be further evaluated to facilitate clinical translation.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Considerations for Overcoming Stability Challenges<\/h2>\n<p>The clinical translation of PD-EVLPs hinges on overcoming a fundamental paradox: while their natural bioactivity and biocompatibility make them ideal drug carriers, their structural fragility and variability in physiological environments pose significant challenges. Stability is not a singular issue but an intricate interplay of vesicle composition, environmental interactions, and systemic processing. Addressing these challenges requires a paradigm shift\u2014from merely optimizing storage conditions to redefining PD-EVLPs engineering by leveraging adaptive design principles, and rethinking their role within biological systems.\n<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>Stability should not be an afterthought but an intrinsic design principle \u2013 current efforts treat PD-EVLPs stability as a post-isolation issue, focusing on storage and preservation. A more fundamental approach would be engineering PD-EVLPs at the source level\u2014genetically modifying plants to produce vesicles with inherently higher stability and optimized bioactive cargo. Meanwhile, rigorous validation of edited PD-EVLPs (eg, multi-omics profiling and functional assays) is essential before clinical translation to ensure their biocompatibility and bioactivity. Future collaborative efforts between plant biotechnologists and nanomedicine researchers will be pivotal in systematically addressing this question.<\/li>\n<li>The immune system should be leveraged, not evaded \u2013 most modifications aim to enable PD-EVLPs to evade immune recognition. However, immune cells can be repurposed as active carriers, not just passive barriers. By exploiting the uptake of PD-EVLPs by macrophages these immune cells could serve as drug depots for sustained release within inflammatory microenvironments.<\/li>\n<li>PD-EVLPs might not need to remain intact to be effective \u2013 Stability is typically equated with structural preservation, but in some cases, controlled degradation could enhance efficacy. If PD-EVLPs could be engineered to disassemble selectively at target sites, this might improve payload release efficiency and reduce off-target effects.<\/li>\n<li>We are over-relying on extracellular vesicle paradigms from mammalian models \u2013 Many PD-EVLPs studies borrow strategies from mammalian EVs research without considering plant vesicles\u2019 distinct lipid compositions, structural properties, and evolutionary adaptations. A tailored stability framework specific to PD-EVLPs is necessary rather than forcing them into pre-existing EV models.<\/li>\n<li>Current tracking methods create an illusion of stability \u2013 Most tracking studies rely on fluorescence labeling, assuming that detected signals represent intact PD-EVLPs. However, these signals could stem from degraded fragments, confounding stability assessments. More advanced degradation-sensitive tracking techniques are needed to truly measure PD-EVLPs integrity over time.<\/li>\n<li>Stability challenges might require a paradigm shift from single-vesicle optimization to community-level engineering \u2013 Instead of stabilizing PD-EVLPs individually, they could be designed to function cooperatively, forming vesicle networks that enhance mutual stability, similar to biofilms or viral capsid assembly.<\/li>\n<li>The goal should not just be stability, but controlled instability \u2013 The ideal PD-EVLPs should not be perfectly stable but rather exhibit \u201cprogrammable degradation\u201d tailored to different biological environments. A framework that integrates stability with controlled disassembly mechanisms could optimize PD-EVLPs performance across diverse applications.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>PD-EVLPs show great promise as therapeutic agents and drug delivery vehicles due to their biocompatibility, bioactive cargo, and modifiability. However, stability remains a significant challenge that impedes their large-scale production, bioavailability, and clinical efficacy. Variations in lipid composition, storage conditions, and susceptibility to harsh physiological environments limit their functional lifespan. Engineering modifications, inspired by liposomal and exosomal technologies, offer potential solutions to enhance their stability. However, the long-term safety and scalability of these modifications remain areas requiring rigorous validation.<\/p>\n<p>Future studies should prioritize developing standardized methods for PD-EVLP isolation, optimizing real-time monitoring of stability, and advancing targeted surface modifications to improve their functionality and lifespan. Moreover, overcoming challenges related to reproducibility, batch-to-batch variability, and large-scale production will be critical to their clinical translation. Only by ensuring both safety and stability can its potential for clinical application be validated in clinical trials. By focusing on these key areas, researchers can fully unlock the potential of PD-EVLPs for precision medicine and next-generation drug delivery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Acknowledgments<\/h2>\n<p>This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (82173180), the Special Project of Central Government for Local Science and Technology Development of Fujian Province (2023L3011), the Joint Funds for the Innovation of Science and Technology, Fujian Province (2024Y9341), and the Startup Fund for Scientific Research, Fujian Medical University (Grant number: 2023QH2014).<\/p>\n<h2>Author Contributions<\/h2>\n<p>All authors made a significant contribution to the work reported, whether that is in the conception, study design, execution, acquisition of data, analysis and interpretation, or in all these areas; took part in drafting, revising or critically reviewing the article; gave final approval of the version to be published; have agreed on the journal to which the article has been submitted; and agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work.<\/p>\n<h2>Disclosure<\/h2>\n<p>The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p id=\"cit0001\" class=\"$reftext\"><a name=\"cit0001\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/stability-challenges-and-engineering-strategies-of-plant-derived-extra-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#ref-cit0001\">1.<\/a> Li A, Li D, Gu Y, et al.
