Abstract

Abstract : Magnetic nanosilica particles cloaked with the natural red blood cell membrane and their application in photodynamic therapy is described by J. Li et al. in their Communication on page 6049 ff. This red blood cell membrane cloaked carrier can effectively avoid immune clearance, prolong in vivo circulating time, and improve the tumorous accumulation by using a magnetic field, which inspires an innovative strategy for cancer therapy.
