Surface modification of nanoparticles by cell membrane (CM) coating to improve their bio-interface properties often results in partial coating. Here the authors show that partial coating is an intermediate state due to the absorption of CM fragments or vesicles and can be resolved by increasing CM fluidity with external phospholipids.
