Learning from biology: synthetic lipoproteins for drug delivery Huang Huang,1,2† William Cruz,1,2† Juan Chen2 and Gang Zheng2,3∗ Synthetic lipoproteins represent a relevant tool for targeted delivery of biological/chemical agents (chemotherapeutics, siRNAs, photosensitizers, and imaging contrast agents) into various cell types. These nanoparticles offer a number of advantages for drugs delivery over their native counterparts while retaining their natural characteristics and biological functions. Their ultra-small size (
