Abstract

Abstract : In article number1700818, Gleb B. Sukhorukov and co‐workers present a fresh outlook on the advance in the design of cell‐based drug vehicles as a biological transporter platform for targeted delivery of different drugs. An overview of the current strategies of cell functionalization by nano‐ and microcarriers are provided for the first time. Authors also discuss animal models for studying cell assisted drug delivery. The cover image represents cells carrying the nanoparticles across the blood vessel wall to the inflammation site, where therapeutic nanoparticles are then released. Cover illustration by Jessica A.
