Application of therapeutical nanoparticles with neutrophil membrane camouflaging for inflammatory plaques targeting against atherosclerosis by Ningnannan Zhang, Tianzhu Zhang, Jintang Feng, Jian Shang, Beibei Zhang, Qingyang Dong, Zhang Zhang, Chunyang Sun

“…The resulting NNPST mimicked neutrophil function and significantly decreased macrophage‐mediated phagocytosis to prolong its own circulation time in the blood. Compared to pristine nanoparticles (NPST) without a membrane coating, NNPST achieved better plaque targeting in ApoE−/− mice, as indicated by neutrophils actively recruited in atherosclerotic lesions. …”
