Comprehensive analysis of the tumor targeting efficiency of functionalized nanoparticles in an immunocompetent environment

Abstract The success of nanoparticle-based cancer therapeutics relies on their efficient tumor uptake and retention. Given this, improving nanoparticle localization in tumors is paramount to maximize their therapeutic potential. A common approach to achieve this is to functionalize nanoparticles wit...
