Abstract
A new biomimetic nanoreactor design is presented based on cancer cell membrane material in combination with porous silicon nanoparticles. This cellular nanoreactor features a biocompartment enclosed by a cell membrane and readily integrated with cells and supplementing the cellular functions under oxidative stress. The study demonstrates the impact of the nanoreactors on improving cellular functions with a potential to serve as artificial organelles.
