Rapid endo-lysosomal escape of poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles: implications for drug and gene delivery

TL;DR: The mechanism of rapid escape is by selective reversal of the surface charge of NPs (from anionic to cationic) in the acidic endolysosomal compartment, which causes the NPs to interact with the endo‐lysosomal membrane and escape into the cytosol.

The mechanism of uptake of biodegradable microparticles in Caco-2 cells is size dependent.

TL;DR: Caco-2 cells are used as an in vitro model for gastrointestinal uptake, and therefore the results obtained in these studies could be of significant importance in optimizing the microparticle-based oral drug delivery systems.
