Our latest article from the Nanomedicine group has been published in Biomaterials Advances! Five research groups joined forces to develop a novel hybrid drug delivery system for nucleic acid therapeutics. By combining genipin-spermine-glycine nanoparticles with biomimetic erythrocyte membrane vesicles, we achieved an efficient and biocompatible carrier for siRNA delivery. Our system demonstrated: Excellent siRNA binding […]
