Nanoreactors: Biomimetic Engineering Using Cancer Cell Membranes for Designing Compartmentalized Nanoreactors with Organelle‐Like Functions (Adv. Mater. 11/2017)

Abstract

In article number 1605375, Vimalkumar Balasubramanian, Hélder A. Santos, and co-workers develop a new biomimetic nanoreactor based on cancer-cell-membrane material in combination with porous silicon nanoparticles. This biomimetic nanoreactors can readily be integrated with cells, reduce the intracellular reactive oxygen species levels under oxidative stress, and function as artificial organelles inside biological cells with potential applications for biomedical applications.
