Anchored But Not Internalized: Shape Dependent Endocytosis of Nanodiamond
April 14, 2017, via Nature Scientific Reports
New research in Scientific Reports examines how morphology affects the endocytosis of nanoparticles, a critical step for applications ranging from intracellular sensing to drug delivery. They found that round nanodiamond is endocytosed to a greater degree than “prickly”-shaped nanodiamond. Super-resolution imaging was performed using a Nikon N-SIM structured illumination system.
