Advances on Non-Genetic Cell Membrane Engineering for Biomedical Applications.

ABSTRACT: Cell-based therapeutics are very promising modalities to address many unmet medical needs, including genetic engineering, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine as well as bioimaging. To enhance the function and improve the efficacy of cell-based therapeutics, a variety of cell surface engineering strategies (genetic engineering and non-genetic engineering) are developed to modify the surface of cells or cell-based therapeutics with some therapeutic molecules, artificial receptors, and multifunctional nanomaterials. In comparison to complicated procedures and potential toxicities associated with genetic engineering, non-genetic engineering strategies have emerged as a powerful and compatible complement to traditional genetic engineering strategies for enhancing the function of cells or c
