Despite the multiple ongoing and novel initiatives for developing brain-targeted drug delivery systems, insurmountable obstacles remain. A perfect drug delivery device that can bypass the brain-blood barrier and boost therapeutic efficacy is urgently needed for clinical applications. Exosomes hold unrivaled benefits as a drug delivery vehicle for treating brain diseases due to their endogenous and innate attributes. Unique properties, such as the ability to penetrate physical barriers, biocompatibility, innate targeting features, ability to leverage natural intracellular trafficking pathways, favored tumor homing, and stability, make exosomes suitable for brain-targeted drug delivery. Herein, we provide an overview of recent exosome-based drug delivery nanoplatforms and discuss how these inherent vesicles can be used to deliver therapeutic agents to the brain to cure neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, and other brain disorders. Moreover, we review the current roadblocks associated with exosomes and other brain-targeted drug delivery systems and discuss future directions for achieving successful therapy outcomes.
