Abstract  

The strong hydrophobicity, low stability and high side effects of drugs largely limit their clinical use. Drug delivery system (DDS) has undergone fast growth. It can effectively carry and protect drugs, thus increasing their biocompatibility, action specificity and effectiveness. Hydrophobins are small molecular proteins secreted during the special period of fungi, such as the development of fungal fruiting bodies. They possess unique amphiphilicity to aid their self-assembly into micellar structure and modification for other DDSs progress, while their extremely low immunogenicity and cytotoxicity further support their application in drug delivery. This paper reviews the research progress of hydrophobin-based DDS in recent years.
