Diverse living medicines, including mammalian cells, fungi, bacteria and viruses, are under development. However, for these medicines to progress in the clinic, new strategies are needed to successfully deliver them into the body. Unlike conventional small-molecule and protein-based biologics, living medicines present distinct challenges for delivery, including the need to maintain viability, control replication, manage metabolism and mitigate immunogenicity. This Review focuses on delivery strategies for living medicines, identifying key challenges and efforts to overcome them. We survey clinically adopted biomaterial strategies for delivering conventional drugs and explore how these approaches can be tailored for living medicines. Finally, we discuss remaining challenges and future directions towards next-generation living medicine delivery. As the field of engineered therapeutic living cells advances, new strategies to deliver them into the body are needed. This Review identifies current challenges in living medicine delivery and discusses how biomaterial strategies could be leveraged to overcome these clinical barriers.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"10 3","pages":"191-210"},"PeriodicalIF":79.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143050135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the first report of halide perovskites in 1892, studies have predominantly focused on their crystalline state, characterized by long-range atomic order. Introducing the possibility of a melt and/or glass state, devoid of substantial periodicity, unlocks new avenues for property tunability, reminiscent of the transformative impact that chalcogenide glasses have provided for commercial applications, including memory and computing. In this Perspective, we highlight the mounting evidence suggesting that melt and/or glass states of halide perovskites and related hybrids hold substantial promise for expanding the property and application spectrum of this materials family. We provide a comprehensive overview of melt and glass-forming perovskites, underscore pivotal concepts behind generating low-melting-temperature and switchable crystalline or glassy states, and emphasize the crucial importance of investigating these states in the context of structure–property tunability and application. Crystalline metal halide perovskites have garnered substantial recent research attention given their outstanding semiconducting character, unprecedented tunability and wide-range application. This Perspective highlights the exciting prospects of extending this focus beyond long-range order — that is, to glassy and melt states.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"10 3","pages":"211-227"},"PeriodicalIF":79.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142937176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
