    Antibody-based therapeutics constitute a rapidly growing class of pharmaceutical compounds. However, monoclonal antibodies, which specifically engage only one target, often lack the mechanistic intricacy to treat complex diseases. To expand the utility of antibody therapies, significant efforts have been invested in designing multispecific antibodies, which engage multiple targets using a single molecule. These efforts have culminated in remarkable translational progress, including nine US Food and Drug Administration–approved multispecific antibodies, with countless others in various stages of preclinical or clinical development. In this review, we discuss several categories of multispecific antibodies that have achieved clinical approval or shown promise in earlier stages of development. We focus on the molecular mechanisms used by multispecific antibodies and how these mechanisms inform their customized design and formulation. In particular, we discuss multispecific antibodies that target multiple disease markers, multiparatopic antibodies, and immune-interfacing antibodies. Overall, these innovative multispecific antibody designs are fueling exciting advances across the immunotherapeutic landscape.

    Cell-derived, nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising tools in diagnostic, therapeutic, and vaccine applications. Their unique properties including the capability to encapsulate diverse molecular cargo as well as the versatility in surface functionalization make them ideal candidates for safe and effective vehicles to deliver a range of biomolecules including gene editing cassettes, therapeutic proteins, glycans, and glycoconjugate vaccines. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the development of EVs derived from mammalian and bacterial cells for use in a delivery of carbohydrate-based protein therapeutics and vaccines. We highlight key innovations in EVs’ molecular design, characterization, and deployment for treating diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, infectious diseases, and cancers. We discuss challenges for their clinical translation and provide perspectives for future development of EVs within biopharmaceutical research and the clinical translation landscape.
