Abstract

Biomineralization-based virus shell-engineering (BVSE) is a potential surface modification strategy to afford a biocompatible and biodegradable calcium phosphate (CaPi) shell onto single virus, allowing development of Trojan virus with enhanced infection, expanded tropism and neutralization escape, which open up the multiple applications of virus in biomedicines and materials.
