Exosomes are nanovesicles released by virtually all cells, which act as intercellular messengers by transfer of protein, lipid, and RNA cargo. Their quantitative efficiency, routes of cell uptake, and subcellular fate within recipient cells remain elusive. We quantitatively characterize exosome cell uptake, which saturates with dose and time and reaches near 100% transduction efficiency at picomolar concentrations. Highly reminiscent of pathogenic bacteria and viruses, exosomes are recruited as single vesicles to the cell body by surfing on filopodia as well as filopodia grabbing and pulling motions to reach endocytic hot spots at the filopodial base. After internalization, exosomes shuttle within endocytic vesicles to scan the endoplasmic reticulum before being sorted into the lysosome as their final intracellular destination. Our data quantify and explain the efficiency of exosome internalization by recipient cells, establish a new parallel between exosome and virus host cell interaction, and suggest unanticipated routes of subcellular cargo delivery.

Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) is a promising tool for visualizing the dynamics of nanoscale cell surface topography. However, there are still no guidelines for fabricating nanopipettes with ideal shape consisting of small apertures and thin glass walls. Therefore, most of the SICM imaging has been at a standstill at the submicron scale.

Contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other membranes are hot spots for protein-mediated lipid transport between the 2 adjacent bilayers. Compiling a molecular inventory of lipid transport proteins present at these sites is a premise to the elucidation of their function. Here we show that PDZD8, an intrinsic membrane protein of the ER with a lipid transport module of the SMP domain family, concentrates at contacts between the ER and late endosomes/lysosomes, where it interacts with GTP-Rab7.

Background: Dronedarone HCl (DRD), owing to its poor aqueous solubility and extensive presystemic metabolism shows low oral bioavailability of about 4% without food, which increases to approximately 15% when administered with a high fat meal.
Objective: Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) were designed with glyceryl monstearate (GMS) in order to improve oral bioavailability of DRD.
Methods: Hot homogenization followed by probe sonication was used to prepare SLN dispersions.

Nanomedicine drug delivery systems are capable of transporting significant payloads to solid tumors. However, only a modest increase in antitumor efficacy relative to the standard of care has been observed. In this study, we demonstrate that a single dose of radiation or mild hyperthermia can substantially improve tumor uptake and distribution of nanotherapeutics, resulting in improved treatment efficacy.

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is the major route of receptor internalization at the plasma membrane. Analysis of constitutive CME is difficult because the initiation of endocytic events is unpredictable. When and where a clathrin-coated pit will form and what cargo it will contain are difficult to foresee.
