Engineering Yeast Extracellular Vesicle Biogenesis Through Rewiring Membrane Trafficking Pathways

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae reveals how cell wall remodelling and membrane trafficking coordinate extracellular vesicle biogenesis. Interferon overexpression and chs3 deletion enhance EV secretion and reshape SNARE‐, Rab‐ and ESCRT‐associated pathways, establishing yeast as a versatile platform for EV engineering and therapeutic cargo loading ...
