Biomimetic Nanoparticle Delivering Colchicine to Target Endothelial Inflammation for Atherosclerosis Treatment

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Platelet membrane‐coated layered double hydroxide nanoparticles were engineered to target inflamed endothelium at early‐stage atherosclerosis and enhance therapeutic efficacy. The biomimetic platform improves stability, immune escape, and inflamed vascular cell targeting, resulting in reduced oxidative stress and downregulated adhesion molecules.
