Generation of purified biomimetic nanoparticles to stimulate therapeutic delivery to tumor cells KU Leuven
To date, nanoparticle delivery to solid tumors in general, and the specific delivery to cancer cells has remained very low, as most nanoparticles are rapidly sequestered from the blood. To overcome this problem, scientists have looked at the concept of biomimetics, where engineered nanomaterials are surrounded by membranes isolated from natural cells in order to trick the immune system and delay nanoparticle clearance. Here, we aim to improve ...
