Huge congrats to Cansu Gorgun and the teams at Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) and Trinity College Dublin on their new publication in Biomaterials!

This study is a fascinating look at how we can “train” macrophages to do two things at once. By reprogramming their metabolism, the team produced hybrid M1/M2 extracellular vesicles — a “dual-action” package that combines pro-inflammatory and pro-healing signals.

We were lucky enough to support this work at 𝗧𝗔𝗺𝗶𝗥𝗡𝗔 by characterizing the EV miRNA cargo and looking into the functional implications of these hybrid vesicles. It’s a clever, elegant approach that opens new possibilities for smarter wound healing, tissue repair, and cell-free regenerative therapies.

Fantastic work by everyone involved!
