Pig semen exosomes shown to shuttle chemo to back-of-eye cancer in mice

Researchers used semen-derived exosomes from pig semen to deliver a chemotherapy-like payload to the retina in a mouse model of retinoblastoma, via eye drops. The approach successfully reached the back of the eye and reduced tumor size after 30 days, suggesting a potential noninvasive treatment route for this pediatric eye cancer, though safety and effectiveness in humans remain to be tested in trials.

Pig-semen–derived exosome eye drops halt retinal tumors in mice

A Science Advances study reports eye drops made from pig-semen–derived exosomes carrying a nanozyme cancer-killing system can cross the retinal barrier to target retinoblastoma tumors in mice, halting tumor growth and preserving vision; the approach uses folic-acid tagging to improve selectivity and could inform drug delivery across other hard-to-penetrate barriers, though it is currently at early, animal-tested stages.
