Abstract

Pathogenic gut microbiota is responsible for a few debilitating gastrointestinal diseases. While the host immune cells do produce extracellular vesicles to counteract some deleterious effects of the microbiota, the extracellular vesicles are of insufficient doses and at unreliable exposure times. Here we use mechanical stimulation of hydrogel-embedded macrophage in a bioelectronic controller that on demand boost production of up to 20 times of therapeutic extracellular vesicles to ameliorate the microbes' deleterious effects in vivo. Our miniaturized wireless bioelectronic system termed inducible mechanical activation for in-situ and sustainable generating extracellular vesicles (iMASSAGE), leverages on wireless electronics and responsive hydrogel to impose mechanical forces on macrophages to produce extracellular vesicles that rectify gut microbiome dysbiosis and ameliorate colitis. This in vivo controllable extracellular vesicles-produced system holds promise as platform to treat various Other Diseases.
