Nanoencapsulation I. Methods for preparation of drug-loaded polymeric nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this review the most important preparation methods are described, especially those that make use of natural polymers, andvantages and disadvantages will be presented so as to facilitate selection of an appropriate nanoencapsulation method according to a particular application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanics of receptor-mediated endocytosis

TL;DR: It is shown that particles in the size range of tens to hundreds of nanometers can enter or exit cells via wrapping even in the absence of clathrin or caveolin coats, and an optimal particles size exists for the smallest wrapping time.

Oral gene delivery with chitosan--DNA nanoparticles generates immunologic protection in a murine model of peanut allergy.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that oral allergen-gene immunization with chitosan–DNA nanoparticles is effective in modulating murine anaphylactic responses, and its prophylactic utility in treating food allergy is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
