Bioengineering Platelet-Derived Extracellular Vesicle Functionalization of Ti Implants Miquel Antich-Rosselló1,2, Maria Antònia Forteza-Genestra1,2, Javier Calvo1,2,3, Antoni Gayà1,2,3, Marta Monjo1,2,4, Joana Maria Ramis1,2,4 1Cell Therapy and Tissue Engineering Group, Research Institute on Health Sciences (IUNICS), University of the Balearic Islands, 2Health Research Institute of the Balearic Islands (IdISBa), 3Fundació Banc de Sang i Teixits de les Illes Balears (FBSTIB), 4Department of Fundamental Biology and Health Sciences, University of the Balearic Islands Here, we present a method for the isolation of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) derived from the platelet lysates (PL) and their use for coating titanium (Ti) implant surfaces. We describe the drop casting coating method, the EVs release profile from the surfaces, and in vitro biocompatibility of EVs coated Ti surfaces.
