Significance Critical micellization concentration (CMC) is an important design consideration for developing all supramolecular biomaterials, and in particular drug delivery systems. Once placed vivo setting, materials will start to dissociate into monomeric units, providing a means therapeutic release essential pathway clearance. This beneficial phenomenon could also lead premature degradation. Through the of series self-assembling prodrugs (SAPDs) various CMCs, we developed fundamental...

Abstract Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) eliminates abnormal cells through target recognition‐triggered intracellular toxin delivery. Chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell improves cancer cell recognition of CTL, but its effectiveness and safety in solid tumor treatment are still hampered by poor infiltration, suppressive microenvironment, severe on‐target off‐tumor toxicity. Given the functionality challenges CTL therapy, herein, a CTL‐inspired nanovesicle (MPV) with membrane–derived shell...
