Abstract Effectively activating macrophages against cancer is promising but challenging. In particular, cells express CD47, a ‘don’t eat me’ signal that interacts with regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) on to prevent phagocytosis. Also, secrete stimulating factors, which polarize tumor-associated from an antitumor M1 phenotype tumorigenic M2 phenotype. Here, we report hybrid cell membrane nanovesicles (known as hNVs) displaying SIRPα variants significantly increased affinity CD47 and...
