Strategies and applications of cell surface engineering

Abstract

<p indent="0mm">Manipulating cells has always been the dream of researchers. The development of cell surface engineering provides many simple and efficient surface modification strategies for cell manipulation. Cell membrane is an extremely complex environment. A variety of components on the membrane regulate biochemical processes inside and outside the cell. Through multiple strategies, the introduction of exogenous substances to modify the cell membrane can change the components of the cell membrane, and even affect the behavior and fate of cells. However, these strategies have more or less certain limitations, and appropriate strategies need to be selected according to specific application scenarios. Here we introduce various strategies of mammalian cell membrane modification and show some classical applications of these strategies.
