Nanoparticle-based in vivo applications should consider the omnipresence of the
phagocytes in the bloodstream and tissue. We have studied the nanoparticle uptake …

We report the evidence for the cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles via the phagocytosis
mechanism in murine macrophage cells strongly supported by TEM and optical microscopy …

Significant quantities of synthetic nanoparticles circulating in the body are cleared and
retained for long periods of time in the resident macrophages of the mononuclear phagocytic …

Spherical and rod-shaped gold nanoparticles with surface poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)
chains were characterized for size, shape, charge, poly dispersity and surface plasmon …

In order to harness the unique properties of nanoparticles for novel clinical applications and
to modulate their uptake into specific immune cells we designed a new library of homo‐and …

Aims: While numerous studies have reported on nanoparticle uptake by phagocytic cells, the
mechanisms of this uptake are poorly understood. A metastudy of research focusing on …

Delivery and toxicity are critical issues facing nanomedicine research. Currently, there is
limited understanding and connection between the physicochemical properties of a …

Engineering nanoparticles (NPs) for immune modulation require a thorough understanding
of their interaction (s) with cells. Gold NPs (AuNPs) were coated with polyethylene glycol …

Correlation of the surface physicochemical properties of nanoparticles with their interactions
with biosystems provides key foundational data for nanomedicine. We report here the …

We investigated the intracellular uptake of different sized and shaped colloidal gold
nanoparticles. We showed that kinetics and saturation concentrations are highly dependent …
