Dr Ruibing WANG, an associate professor at the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, shared with the audience about his recent research in a presentation titled “Supramolecular Cytopharmaceuticals”. Dr Wang explained that cells are a basic unit of living organisms and using them as drug carriers has unique advantages. For instance, it can significantly improve the targeting efficiency due to the homing effects of selected cells or improve the systemic circulation. There are currently two strategies to construct cell-hitchhiking delivery systems (here referred to as cytopharmaceuticals). One is to directly phagocytose drugs (including nano-drugs) via endocytosis, and the other is to use covalent bonds or biological ligand-receptor interactions to conjugate nanomedicine to the surface of live cells. However, the cells that […]
