Abstract
Protein-based nanocapsules (NCs) have received wide attention as promising carriers in the field of drug delivery. Owing to their small size, higher surface area, and unique properties, protein-based NCs are better delivery agents than other conventional materials. These NCs have improved biocompatibility and biodegradation capability with excellent potential for exterior surface amendment. This is of significant interest in the field of cargo/drug delivery. Stimuli-triggered protein NCs assembly is an advanced, alluring, and capable tactic for protein/peptide/drug transport and has made spatiotemporal as well as controlled delivery. This chapter summarizes the latest progress in controlled cargo delivery for cancer treatment using protein-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials. The applications of these nanocarriers in genetic material delivery are also discussed in terms of therapy. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities of NCs applications are also projected.
