CD7‐targeting pro‐apoptotic extracellular vesicles: A novel approach for T‐cell haematological malignancy therapy by Bei Zhang, Jianqiang Chen, Jiming Chen, Yingying Shen, Yinghu Chen, Shibo Wang, Chengyan Zhang, Yuzhou He, Huajun Feng, Jiaoli Wang, Zhijian Cai

“…We found that αCD7/EVs efficiently targeted and were internalized by human T‐ALL Molt‐4 cells. In addition, the interaction between αCD7 and CD7 switched the EV entry pathway in Molt‐4 cells from macropinocytosis‐dependent endocytosis to clathrin‐mediated endocytosis, thereby reducing EV‐lysosome colocalization, ultimately improving CytC delivery efficiency and increasing the cytotoxicity of nascent EVs from EV‐treated Molt‐4 cells. …”
