Abstract: (8762 Views)
Introduction: new nano-carrier platforms based on natural biological building blocks offer great promises in revolutionizing medicine.
Materials and methods: The usage of specific protein cage structures such as virus-like particles (VLPs) for drug packaging and targeted delivery has attracted much attention.
Results: versatile chemical and genetic modifications on the outer surfaces and inner cavities of VLPs facilitate the preparation of new materials requirements for drug delivery.
Discussion: A full evaluation on the toxicity, biodistribution and immunology of these materials are envisaged to boost their application potentials. Results: VLPs can easily offer the requirements that are needed for a drug delivery, such as biocompatibility, solubility in water, and high uptake efficiency.
