This review article focuses on the physiochemical mechanisms underlying nanoparticle
uptake into cells. When nanoparticles are in close vicinity to a cell, the interactions between …

The understanding of the shape-change dynamics leading to the budding and division of
artificial cells has gained much attention in the past few decades due to an increased …

Using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we systematically investigate the
receptor-mediated endocytosis of elastic nanoparticles (NPs) with different sizes, ranging …

It is commonly believed that the most efficient way to pack a finite number of equal-sized
spheres is by arranging them tightly in a cluster. However, mathematicians have conjectured …

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) represent a versatile model system to emulate the
fundamental properties and functions associated with the plasma membrane of living cells …

The use of artificial cells has attracted considerable attention in various fields from
biotechnology to medicine. Here, we develop a cell-sized vesicle-in-vesicle (VIV) structure …

Polymersomes that incorporate aggregation-induced emission (AIE) moieties are attractive
inherently fluorescent nanoparticles with biomedical application potential for cell/tissue …

Polymer vesicles, also named polymersomes, are valuable candidates for drug delivery and
micro-or nanoreactor applications. As far as drug delivery is concerned, the shape of the …

In this paper, we study the hydrodynamics of a vesicle doublet suspended in an external
viscous fluid flow. Vesicles in this study are modeled using the phase-field model. The …

The process of osmosis, a fundamental phenomenon in life, drives water through a
semipermeable membrane in response to a solute concentration gradient across this …
