    Scientists at Münster University have recently developed a new type of nanocontainer composed entirely of biological components


    Scientists hope to use this micro-nanocontainer with a diameter of about 150 nanometers to load cells with lipids that are labeled with biological significance.


    Bio-inspired materials organize themselves to form a cargo container

    In order to synthesize new cargo carriers, scientists used sugar compounds (modified cyclodextrins), which are similar in structure and behavior to certain lipids naturally present in every cell


    Nanocontainers that use natural pathways to enter cells

    In the next step, the scientists studied whether and how the newly developed nanocontainers are occupied by cells


    The container shell is degraded by enzymes in the endosome

    The conditions inside the endosomes are different from the cellular environment, which is what scientists have considered when designing the nanocontainer
