Self-assembly of drug-loaded liposomes on genetically engineered protein nanotubes: a potential anti-cancer drug delivery vector

Pascaline Ngweniform, Dong Li and Chuanbin Mao


Cationic liposomes loaded with a model drug (zinc phthalocyanine, ZnPc) for photodynamic cancer therapy can be electrostatically assembled on anionic flagellar protein nanotubes that can be displayed with cancer cell-targeting peptides.
