Electrostatic attraction-directed membrane anchoring as a universal tool to enhance nanocarrier uptake into drug-resistant cancer cells

Caption

Addressing drug-resistance, a major obstacle in effective cancer treatment during cancer evolution, the designed nanocarriers with identical cores but varying surface charges were synthesized to interact with drug-resistant cancer cells via the electrostatic interaction-induced membrane anchoring and subsequent cellular internalization.
