Fundamentals of tissue- or disease-targeted virus-based nanoparticles (VNPs). Targeting ligands are presented on the exterior of the VNP to facilitate active cell-specific surface binding and/or receptor-mediated endocytosis. Additional unique factors, such as the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect in tumor masses or VNP shape, can further aid in passive localization.
