Membrane-wrapped nanoparticles represent a versatile platform for utilizing specific lipid-receptor interactions, such as siallyllactose-mediated binding of the ganglioside GM3 to Siglec1 (CD169), for targeting purposes. The membrane wrap around the nanoparticles not only serves as a matrix to incorporate GM3 as targeting moiety for antigen-presenting cells but also offers unique opportunities for constructing a biomimetic surface from lipids with potentially protein-repellent properties.
