									<h2><a href="https://rwang.sklqrcm.um.edu.mo/about-rw/" target="_self">Professor&nbsp;Ruibing Wang,&nbsp;State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine, Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences &amp; Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Macau, Macau SAR</a></h2>
<p><strong>Supramolecularly Engineered Cells for Targeted Therapy </strong></p>
<p class="CCWIAbstract">Cells are a basic unit of living organisms and using them as drug carriers or therapeutics has unique advantages. During the past several years, we have developed a unique “supramolecular cell engineering” approach where nanomedicines or biomaterials are self-assembled either extracellularly or intracellularly via artificial host-guest interactions, to anchor nanomedicine or biomaterials either on the surface of, or inside, the cells for targeted delivery to specific tissues, e.g. driven by the inflammatory tropism of immune cells.<sup>1</sup> We show that the engineered cells may efficiently deliver medicine to disease tissues and effectively treat several diseases including acute pneumonia<sup>2</sup> and solid tumors.<sup>3</sup> We also show that intracellularly gelated macrophage may function as “cell sponge” to absorb inflammatory cytokines, endotoxins and even bacteria, to effectively fight against infectious diseases.<sup>4,5</sup></p>
