Biomimetic dual‐membrane‐functionalized nanoparticles, incorporating the natural properties of two different cell types, are fabricated by a facile process employing fused cell membranes, as described by Liangfang Zhang and co‐workers in article number 1606209 . The resulting hybrid cell‐membrane‐coated nanoparticles retain protein markers from each source cell and combine the unique functions of both. The reported approach opens the door for the fabrication of biocompatible nanocarriers with increasingly complex functionality.
