Softness plays a key role in determining the macroscopic properties of colloidal systems,
from synthetic nanogels to biological macromolecules, from viruses to star polymers …

Nanoparticle science is rapidly changing the landscape of various scientific fields and
defining new technological platforms. This is perhaps even more evident in the field of …

Nanoparticles (NPs) and submicron particles are increasingly used as carriers for delivering
therapeutic compounds to cells. Their entry into the cell represents the initial step in this …

Nanoparticle elasticity is crucial in nanoparticles' physiological fate, but how this occurs is
largely unknown. Using core-shell nanoparticles with a same PEGylated lipid bilayer shell …

The physicochemical properties of nanoparticles play critical roles in regulating nano-bio
interactions. Whereas the effects of the size, shape, and surface charge of nanoparticles on …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid‐membrane enclosed nanoparticles that play significant
roles in health and disease. EVs are abundant in body fluids and carry an array of molecules …

Nanocarriers have been widely employed in preclinical studies and clinical trials for the
delivery of anticancer drugs. The most important causes of failure in clinical translation of …

To date, the role of elasticity in drug delivery remains elusive due to the inability to measure
microscale mechanics and alter rheology without affecting chemistry. Herein, we describe …

Nanogels have emerged as a versatile hydrophilic platform for encapsulation of guest
molecules with a capability to respond to external stimuli that can be used for a multitude of …

The innate immune system provides the first line of defence against foreign microbes and
particulate materials. Engineered nanoparticles can interact with the immune system in …
