The article summarizes the recent advances in the functionalization of cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, focusing on emerging methods such as lipid insertion, membrane hybridization, metabolic engineering, and genetic modification. These approaches provide diverse functions while preserving the natural function of cell membranes, enhancing the adaptability and multifunctionality of the nanoparticles.
There has been significant interest in developing cell membrane-coated nanoparticles due to their unique abilities of biomimicry and biointerfacing. As the technology progresses, it becomes clear that the application of these nanoparticles can be drastically broadened if additional functions beyond those derived from the natural cell membranes can be integrated. Herein, we summarize the most recent advances in the functionalization of cell membrane-coated nanoparticles. In particular, we focus on emerging methods, including (1) lipid insertion, (2) membrane hybridization, (3) metabolic engineering, and (4) genetic modification. These approaches contribute diverse functions in a nondisruptive fashion while preserving the natural function of the cell membranes. They also improve on the multifunctional and multitasking ability of cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, making them more adaptive to the complexity of biological systems. We hope that these approaches will serve as inspiration for more strategies and innovations to advance cell membrane coating technology.
