🚨New Paper🚨. @ben_stordy and @zsepahi_ answer the question: Why don't nanoparticles deliver to target cells?. For details, see the tweet below:.
🚨 New Publication: Why don’t nanoparticles deliver to target cells?🚨. We built a model, termed the binding ratio, that predicts nanoparticle targeting efficiency with 90% sensitivity and 88% specificity‼️. Check out our paper here published in @J_A_C_S:

🚨🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨🚨. @jamielywu et al. discovered the pathways tumour endothelial cells use to transport nanoparticles. Link to paper: Below is a thread by Dr. Jamie Wu summarising the method and results:.
How do nanoparticles enter the tumour?.In our latest study @NatureNano, we found tumour endothelial cells bring NPs in mostly using macropinocytosis & interestingly, macropinocytosis membrane ruffling is elevated in tumour vs healthy vessels 🧐@TheChanLab.
