Utilizing the robust and porous nature of UiO-67, we enveloped these NMOFs with fusogenic cell membrane-derived nanovesicles (FCSMs) sourced from adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial (A549) cells. This biomimetic coating enhances biocompatibility and leverages the homotypic targeting capabilities of the cell-derived coatings, facilitating direct cytoplasmic delivery and avoiding endolysosomal entrapment. Our nanoplatform exhibited high efficiency in loading and releasing two model cargoes: cresyl violet (CV), a staining agent, and carboplatin (CbPt), a chemotherapeutic agent. This approach demonstrated substantial potential in drug delivery in both 2D cell cultures and 3D spheroids. This study underscores the enhanced cellular uptake facilitated by the engineered biomimetic shell and highlights the system’s capacity for sustained release, offering a promising strategy for targeted drug delivery PB Elsevier SN 0021-9797 YR 2024 FD 2024-11-23 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10347/40003 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10347/40003 LA eng NO Migliavacca, M., Cedrún-Morales, M., Ceballos, M., Soprano, E., Polo, E., Pelaz, B., Del Pino, P.
