Artificial Organelles: Nanomaterial‐Based Organelles Protect Normal Cells against Chemotherapy‐Induced Cytotoxicity (Adv. Mater. 27/2018)

Parallel to cellular organelles, artificial organelles based on nanomaterials are necessarily responsive to molecular cues and are biocompatible in a molecularly crowded cytoplasm. In article number 1801304, Ruikang Tang and co-workers present rationally designed nanomaterials of gold–oligonucleotides, which act as artificial organelles and conferr cell self-defense in the threatening chemotherapeutic milieu. This intracellular implantation of functional artificial organelles into cells provides a novel and promising tactic for adjusting cell behavior and for manufacturing super cells.
