Article Synopsis
- Nanoparticles (NPs) are promising for biomedical uses due to their unique properties, with cellular uptake being crucial for their effectiveness, influenced by both the characteristics of the NPs and the mechanics of the cells.
- A study used micropatterned poly(vinyl alcohol) to manipulate cell size and examined how this size affected the uptake of gold NPs, finding larger cells took in more total NPs but had lower uptake efficiency per area.
- The research highlighted that while larger cells benefit from greater contact with NPs, higher membrane tension in these cells hinders their ability to engulf NPs, demonstrating a complex relationship between cell size, NPs interaction, and cellular uptake.
