Biologically Inspired Stealth - Camouflaged Strategies in Nanotechnology for the Improved Therapies in Various Diseases.

Nanotechnology has received increasing attention in the past decade and it's being used as a model for developing better treatments for a variety of diseases. Despite the fact that nanotechnology-based therapy has greatly improved treatment regimens, it still faces challenges such as inadequate circulation, insufficient accumulation at the target region, and undesired toxicity. In this regard, scientists are working on producing cell-membrane camouflaged nanoparticles as a biomimetic technique for modifying the surface of existing nanoparticles to produce significant therapeutic benefits following imparting myriad of desired functionalities. Membranes originating from erythrocytes, white blood cells, cancer cells, stem cells, platelets, or bacterial cells have been used to coat nanoparticle surfaces and create biologically inspired camouflaged nanoparticles. These biomemitic delivery systems have been proven to have potential applications in diagnosing and treating vaiorus diseases, including drug administration, immunisation, immunological regulation, and detoxification. From its inception to the present, we provide a complete description of this advanced technique for functionalizing nanoparticle surfaces. The method of making these membrane coated nanoparticles as well as their characterisation have been thoroughly discussed. Following that, we focused on the diversity of cell membranes derived from distinct cells in the evolution of nanoparticles, emphasising how these biologically inspired stealth - camouflaged techniques have led to increased therapeutic efficacy in a variety of disease states.
