Cellular interactions leveraged for biomimetic nanoparticle design. Cells physically participate in a number of interactions, including with other cells through the engagement of surface receptors by membrane-bound ligands, with components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and with biomolecules such as those involved in endogenous signaling or toxic compounds secreted by other organisms.
