Cell primitive-based functional materials that combine the advantages of natural substances and nanotechnology have emerged as attractive therapeutic agents for cancer therapy. primitives are characterized by distinctive biological functions, such long-term circulation, tumor specific targeting, immune modulation etc. Moreover, synthetic nanomaterials featuring unique physical/chemical properties been widely used effective drug delivery vehicles or anticancer to treat cancer. The combination these two kinds will catalyze generation innovative biomaterials with multiple high biocompatibility negligible immunogenicity precise In this review, we summarize most recent advances in development cell Different primitives, including bacteria, phages, cells, membranes, other bioactive introduced their strategies combining materials, especially nanoparticulate systems, construction function-enhanced also summarized. Furthermore, foreseeable challenges future perspectives included research direction field.

The mitochondrion is an important sub-cellular organelle responsible for the cellular energetic source and processes. Owing to its unique sensitivity heat reactive oxygen species, appropriate target photothermal photodynamic treatment cancer. However, targeted delivery of therapeutics mitochondria remains a great challenge due their location in compartment complexity intracellular environment. Herein, we report class mitochondrion-targeted liposomal platform consisting guanidinium-based dendritic peptide moiety mimicking protein transmembrane signaling exert with pH sensitive charge-reversible functions enhance tumor accumulation cell penetration. Compared current triphenylphosphonium (TPP)-based targeting system, this lipopeptide (DLP) exhibits about 3.7-fold higher efficacy. Complete eradication demonstrated mice bearing 4T1 mammary tumors after combined therapies delivered by reported DLP platform.
