ABSTRACT

Nanoparticle-based therapeutics have the potential to change the paradigm of how we approach the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Employing naturally derived cell membranes as a surface coating has created a powerful new approach by which nanoparticles can be functionalized towards a wide range of biomedical applications. By using membranes derived from different cell sources, the resulting nanoparticles inherit properties that can make them well-suited for a variety of tasks. In recent years, stimuli-responsive platforms with the ability to release payloads on demand have received increasing attention due to their improved delivery, reduced side effects, and precision targeting. Nanoformulations have been developed to respond to external stimuli such as magnetic fields, ultrasound, and radiation, as well as local stimuli such as pH gradients, redox potentials, and other chemical conditions. Here, an overview of the novel cell membrane coating platform is provided, followed by a discussion of stimuli-responsive platforms that leverage this technology.
