Cell membrane biomimetic nanoparticles for inflammation and cancer targeting in drug delivery.

Biomaterials Science, 2019
Nanoparticle capture and elimination by the immune system are great obstacles for drug delivery. Camouflaging nanoparticles with cell membrane represents a promising strategy to communicate and negotiate with the immune system.

Microviscosity of the cell membrane

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1972
Abstract The microvisocisty in the membrane interior of hemoglobin-free erythrocyte membranes, lymphocytes and submitochondrial particles was derived from an adequate comparison of the degree of fluorescence polarization of perylene when dissolved in the tested membranes and in a reference oil of known viscosity.

Cell Membranes and Morphogenesis

Nature, 1956
CELL membranes can be readily visualized in the electron microscope; but a rather special cell system is needed if one wishes to study their supposed role1,2 in morphogenesis. In the hair follicle we have been able to examine at high resolution a system which fulfils most of the electron microscopist's demands.
