Uptake of ricinB-quantum dot nanoparticles by a macropinocytosis-like mechanism

Uptake of ricinB-quantum dot nanoparticles by a macropinocytosis-like mechanism

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>There is a huge effort in developing ligand-mediated targeting of nanoparticles to diseased cells and tissue. The plant toxin ricin has been shown to enter cells by utilizing both dynamin-dependent and -independent endocytic pathways...
