Abstract
The ultimate goal in cancer therapy is achieving selective targeting of cancer cells. We report a novel delivery platform, based on nanoghosts (NGs) produced from the membranes of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Encompassing MSC surface molecules, the MSC-NGs retained MSC-specific in vitro and in vivo tumor targeting capabilities and were cleared from blood-filtering organs. MSC-NGs were found to be biocompatible. Systemic administration of drug loaded MSC-NGs demonstrated 80% inhibition of human prostate cancer.Entities:
