Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
This review explores virus biomimetic delivery systems, focusing on virus-like particles (VLPs) and virosomes as promising platforms for vaccine and therapeutic development. Virosomes are reconstituted viral envelopes that retain functional glycoproteins but lack a nucleocapsid.

Ranked Claims
Virus-like particles and virosomes are reviewed as vaccine platforms for SARS-CoV-2, influenza, Newcastle disease virus, malaria, hepatitis, and respiratory syncytial virus, indicating versatility and clinical potential.
Virosomes are reconstituted viral envelopes that retain functional glycoproteins but lack a nucleocapsid.
Virus-like particles are self-assembled nanostructures composed of viral structural proteins that mimic native virions without carrying genetic material.
Virus-like particle production is examined across bacterial, yeast, insect, mammalian, and plant-based expression platforms, each with distinct advantages, challenges, and optimization strategies.
Virus-like particles and virosomes provide strong immunogenicity and safety by mimicking viral architecture while eliminating the risk of replication.
