For the first time scientists used living human cells to obtain natural capsules with tubules to release drugs and diagnostic agents. Such capsules are able to easily reach diseased parts of the body, writes The Times of India.

Dayang Wang and his colleagues took the following position as a basis: the human body was created in such a way as to get rid of foreign substances and viruses. At the same time, they can include drugs and nanoparticles intended for the treatment of diseases.

To increase the time of finding these substances in the body, scientists tried to deceive the body by encapsulating these substances in a shell that resembles the natural cells.

The researchers created a more suitable capsule, using living cells as an "Invisibility Cloak". The development was called "cell membrane capsules".

The experiment showed that this approach, in fact, allowed drugs and nanoparticles to remain in the body longer. This, in fact, the first biocompatible method of delivery and release of drugs. The researchers shared their achievements in the pages of the journal Nano Letters.
