Abstract

Immune cell engineering is an active field of ongoing research that can be easily applied to nanoscale biomedicine as an alternative to overcoming limitations of nanoparticles. Cell membrane coating and artificial nanovesicle technology have been reported as representative methods with an advantage of good biocompatibility for biomimetic replication of cell membrane characteristics. Cell membrane-mediated biomimetic technique provides properties of natural cell membrane and enables membrane-associated cellular/molecular signaling. Thus, coated NPs and artificial nanovesicles can achieve effective and extended in vivo circulation, enabling execution of target functions. While coated NPs and artificial nanovesicles provide clear advantages, much work remains before clinical application. In this review, we first provide a comprehensive overview of cell membrane coating techniques and artificial nanovesicles. Next, we summarize the function and application of various immune cell membrane types. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
