Abstract

In article number 1802709, Jean-Philippe Pellois, Hong-Cai Zhou, and co-workers uncover a series of metal-organic cages as novel and superior cargo delivery scaffolds that target subcellular compartments, such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, and membrane, within a living cell. Through manipulation of the overall charge and surface affinity of the cages, the “nano-bio” interactions between several cellular barriers and the nano cages can be tuned. This finding provides a unique delivery platform for cell imaging, cancer therapy, and gene editing.
