Nanoparticles (NPs) modified by cell membranes represent an emerging biomimetic
platform that can mimic the innate biological functions resulting from the various cell …

Platelets have been hypothesized to promote certain neoplastic malignancies; however,
antiplatelet drugs are still not part of routine pharmacological cancer prevention and …

The interaction between circulating tumor cells and platelets is a key factor in cancer
metastasis. These interactions, driven by a variety of receptors, support circulating tumor …

Sowing malignant cells (the “seeds” of metastasis) to engraft secondary sites requires a
conducive premetastatic niche (PMN, the “soil” of metastasis). Inflammation and tumor …

In recent years, the field of drug delivery has witnessed remarkable progress, driven by the
