Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...
