Self‐Assembly of Drug‐Loaded Liposomes on Genetically Engineered Target‐Recognizing M13 Phage: A Novel Nanocarrier for Targeted Drug Delivery

The rodlike virus M13 phage is nontoxic to humans. Its tip can be engineered to recognize a specific target and at the same time its sidewall can be engineered to electrostatically assemble drug-loaded liposomes (see picture). The phage–liposome complex forms a drug carrier that can be internalized in breast cancer cells and used in photodynamic therapy.
