Journal ArticleDOI

The Use of Inhibitors to Study Endocytic Pathways of Gene Carriers: Optimization and Pitfalls

TL;DR: It is found that chlorpromazine and to a lesser extent MbetaCD significantly decreased cell viability of some cell lines even after short incubation periods and at concentrations that are routinely used to inhibit endocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular toxicity of inorganic nanoparticles: Common aspects and guidelines for improved nanotoxicity evaluation

TL;DR: An overview of the cytotoxic effects of commonly used inorganic NPs: quantum dots, gold and iron oxide nanoparticles is presented and suggestions are made on how to optimize NP design in view of minimal cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymer-Coated Nanoparticles Interacting with Proteins and Cells: Focusing on the Sign of the Net Charge

TL;DR: This study shows that the number of adsorbed human serum albumin molecules per NP was not influenced by their surface charge, and cytot toxicity assays revealed a higher cytotoxicity for positively charged NPs, associated with their enhanced uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precisely and accurately localizing single emitters in fluorescence microscopy

TL;DR: A lucid synthesis of the developments on single-molecule localization precision and accuracy and their practical implications are presented in order to guide the increasing number of researchers using single-particle tracking and super-resolution localization microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electroporation-induced siRNA precipitation obscures the efficiency of siRNA loading into extracellular vesicles.

TL;DR: The results show that electroporation of EVs with siRNA is accompanied by extensive siRNA aggregate formation, which may cause overestimation of the amount of siRNA actually loaded into EVs, and highlight the necessity for alternative methods to prepare siRNA-loaded EVs.
