A review on cell-mediated camouflaged nanoparticles

In the recent times, Nanoparticles (NPs) have been a major source of innovation and research activities for sustainable drug delivery. Nanoparticles can favourably cumulate at areas of activity and helps to better the therapeutic-index of large number of drugs and medicines. The current and innovative amalgamation of biological substances and nanomaterials has provided us with new functions of nanoparticles with the help of camouflaging with the cellular-membranes. Talking specifically cell membrane camouflaged nanoparticles are an innovative biomimetic platform comprising core of nanoparticles and membrane shell. These camouflaged nanoparticles possess the ability to mimic the special functionalities of the membrane, such as enhanced blood regulation, having better internalization and active drug targeting. In this review, the focus is on the latest developments of biological cell membrane camouflaged nanoparticles, applications of cell-membrane coating for sustainable drug delivery and discussion about its future prospects in the upcoming times.
