Charged nanoparticles can alter the local physical properties of lipid membranes, which could shed new light on the interactions between living cells and nanomaterials. An emerging 'rule of thumb ...

Aliphatic polyester-based nanoparticles (NPs) were developed and functionalized to target antigen-presenting cells (APCs). NPs were physicochemically characterized and NP–cell interaction ...

The images before and after quenching of CMS-NPs-Cy3 (see the 'Preparation of fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles' section) were processed by Particle-in-cell-3D using different values for ...

"Plant cell walls are rigid and wood-like, much tougher than human or animal cells, so we coated the nanoparticle with a protein that gently loosens the plant cell wall. "The protein coating ...

In animal experiments, these nanoparticles demonstrated the ability to inhibit leukemia cell growth and significantly improve ...

To accomplish this, they analyzed the APC-T cell interactions that occurred during food antigen exposure—in this case, the egg white protein ovalbumin (OVA)—in healthy mice using a technique called ...
