Article Synopsis
  • Nonviral vectors like liposomes are being researched for delivering genes specifically to cancer cells.
  • Liposomes are tiny bubbles made of fats that help protect and transport genetic materials, making them better than older methods that often missed their targets.
  • This review looks at how liposomes can improve gene therapy for cancer, what challenges they face, and what new ideas might make them even better in the future.

Poly(lactic--glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) are commonly used for drug delivery because of their favored biocompatibility and suitability for sustained and controlled drug release. To prolong NP circulation time, enable target-specific drug delivery and overcome physiological barriers, NPs camouflaged in cell membranes have been developed and evaluated to improve drug delivery. Here, we discuss recent advances in cell membrane-coated PLGA NPs, their preparation methods, and their application to cancer therapy, management of inflammation, treatment of cardiovascular disease and control of infection.
