| Abstract | Non-Technical Summary The work proposed here creates protein vesicles, tiny hollow containers made from proteins, that can bind to specific types of cells and carry three different kinds of therapeutic drugs inside cells. The functional demonstration of this concept will target breast cancer cells and deliver a combination of protein, nucleic acid and chemotherapeutic molecules that could be uniquely effective against them. This is significant because these vesicles have the potential to address |
