Popis: Unwanted uptake in the liver and limited accumulation in target organs is a major obstacle to targeted drug delivery. Here, the authors report on the hitchhiking of nanocarriers on red blood cells and the targeted upstream delivery to different target organs in mice, pigs and ex vivo human lungs.
