Drug delivery by nanocarriers (NCs) has long been stymied dominant liver uptake and limited target organ deposition, even when NCs are targeted using affinity moieties. Here we report a universal solution: red blood cell (RBC)-hitchhiking (RH), in which adsorbed onto the RBCs transfer from to first downstream of intravascular injection. RH improves for wide range viral vectors. For example, injected intravenously increases liposome organ, lungs, ~40-fold compared with free NCs. Intra-carotid...
