Abstract

Drug Delivery In article number 2212210, Funan Liu, Hongjun Li, Zhen Gu, and co-workers present an oncolytic virus therapy that can target metastasis after systemic administration. Tumor cells that have been pre-infected with an oncolytic virus serve as the delivery vehicle after pathogenicity has been eliminated by liquid nitrogen shock, but their metastasis-targeting ability is maintained by the integrity of cellular structure and surface protein preservation. This Trojan-horse-like method prevents virus neutralization and clearance in the bloodstream and improves tumor-specific delivery.
