The presence of several biological barriers impede the efficacy of nano-mediated drug delivery for solid cancer therapy. Here, the authors develop a nano-pathogenoid system that targets circulating neutrophils and show that it overcomes these biological barriers and improves tumour targeting and efficacy.
