Abstract

Abstract : In article number1802052, Yoon‐Kyoung Cho and co‐workers report the encapsulation of exosomes with a nanofilm of supramolecular coordination complexes of ferric ion and tannic acid using a droplet‐based microfluidic platform. The "armored exosomes" are well protected against external stress, especially ultra‐violet irradiation and elevated temperature. On‐demand chemical degradation and further surface functionalization capabilities open up new applications beyond their native functions.
