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 …

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

Endocytosis is a fundamental process in which eukaryotic cells internalise molecules and
macromolecules via deformation of the membrane and generation of membrane-bound …

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 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 …

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 …

Recent advances in chemistry and material sciences have witnessed the emergence of an
increasing number of novel and complex nanosized carriers for the delivery of drugs and …

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 …

As defined by the European Commission, a nanomaterial is a natural, an incidental, or a
manufactured material containing particles in an unbound state or as an aggregate or …
