While conventional platforms such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and viral vectors often suffer from immune clearance and poor brain accumulation, engineered exosomes leverage natural cellular transport mechanisms to cross the BBB, protect cargo from degradation, and enable biocompatible interactions with target cells. This review takes a mechanistic and translational look at how exosomes are being engineered for CNS disorders, with a particular focus on glioblastoma. We cover exosome biogenesis through ESCRT-dependent and ESCRT-independent pathways, and how the competition between Rab27-driven secretion and Rab7-driven lysosomal degradation determines how many exosomes a cell releases, which has direct consequences for therapeutic production. We then discuss cargo loading strategies, from genetic approaches where donor cells are engineered to package specific molecules during biogenesis to physical methods like electroporation and sonication applied to isolated vesicles, alongside surface modification techniques for directing exosomes toward specific cell types. In glioblastoma, engineered exosomes have shown real promise for delivering chemotherapeutics across the BBB, targeting glioma stem cells, enabling CRISPR-based gene editing, and functioning as combined treatment and imaging tools. Applications in stroke and neurodegenerative diseases, where engineered exosomes carrying microRNAs and neuroprotective cargo have produced encouraging preclinical results, are also discussed. Scalable manufacturing and consistent targeting remain the hardest unsolved problems, and we outline emerging approaches including bioreactor-based production, programmable cargo loading, and patient-specific exosome design that are beginning to address these gaps. Overall, the progress reviewed here suggests that engineered exosomes are moving from an interesting biological concept toward a practically viable platform for CNS drug delivery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers18121923","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T03:01:27Z","timestamp":1781492487000},"page":"1923","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Engineered Exosomes in Precision Neuro-Oncology: Mechanisms, Therapeutics, and Translational Challenges"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2643-7043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nazmul H.","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgia Cancer Center, Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mst Anika","family":"Bushra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgia Cancer Center, Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fowzia Akter","family":"Selina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgia Cancer Center, Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2902-3671","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali Syed","family":"Arbab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgia Cancer Center, Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Sipos, D.A.-O., Raposa, B.A.-O., Freihat, O., Simon, M., Mekis, N., Cornacchione, P.A.-O., and Kov\u00e1cs, \u00c1.
