Design and function of smart biomembrane nanohybrids for biomedical applications: review

Biological membranes that tailor their morphology to environmental stimuli are nature’s ultimate smart molecular systems. This focused review describes the design and function of smart biomembrane nanohybrids. Specifically, liposomes and exosomes can be functionalized with inorganic substances and polymers to afford hybridized artificial cell membranes. These membranes have a tailorable morphology and can incorporate functional integral membrane...
