Intake of silica nanoparticles by giant lipid vesicles: influence of particle size and thermodynamic membrane state
The uptake of nanoparticles into cells often involves their engulfment by the plasma membrane and a fission of the latter. Understanding the physical mechanisms underlying these uptake processes may be achieved by the investigation of simple model systems that can be compared to theoretical models....
