Abstract
Intracellular delivery of proteins is a promising strategy for regulating cellular behavior and therefore has attracted interest for biomedical applications. Despite the emergence of various nanoparticle-based intracellular delivery approaches, it remains challenging to engineer a versatile delivery system capable of responding to various physiological triggers without the need for complex chemical synthesis of the delivery system. Herein, we develop a template-mediated supramolecular assembly strategy to synthesize protein- polyphenol nanoparticles (NPs) capable of endosomal escape and subsequent protein release in the cytosol. These NPs are stable in serum and undergo surface charge revers..
