ABSTRACT: Background
Biomimetic nanotechnology-based RNA interference (RNAi) has been successful in improving theranostic efficacy in malignant tumors. Its integration with hybrid biomimetic membranes made of natural cell membranes fused with liposomal membranes is mutually beneficial and extends their biofunctions. However, limited research has focused on engineering such biomimetics to endow them with unique properties and functions, in particular, those essential for a "smart" drug delivery system, such as a tumor microenvironment (TME)-activated multifunctional biomimetic nanoplatform.Results
Herein, we utilized an integrated hybrid nanovesicle composed of cancer cell membranes (Cm) and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9)-switchable peptide-based charge-reversal liposome membranes
