<div> <div> <div> <p>Conjugation techniques are central to improving intracellular delivery of bioactive small molecules. However, tracking and assessing the overall biological outcome of these constructs remains poorly understood. We addressed this issue by having developed a focused library of heterobivalent constructs based on Rho kinase inhibitors to probe various scenarios. By comparing induction of a phenotype of interest vs. cell viability vs. cellular uptake, we demonstrate that such conjugates indeed lead to divergent cellular outcomes. </p> </div> </div> </div>

A well-controlled route towards biocompatible agglomerated Au-NPs is reported, which span the range from small particles with high diffusion coefficients to larger particles with lower diffusion coefficients. Difference in uptake kinetics of single NPs and agglomerates can be explained by particokinetics, without the need to consider size-mediated cellular uptake mechanisms.

Recently, polymeric nanoparticles have attracted tremendous interests as a useful tool to encapsulate therapeutic drugs, genes, and proteins for their controlled and sustained delivery. Among them, polymeric hydrogel nanoparticles with thermal and/or pH responsiveness have attracted particular attention [1]. Trehalose, a non-reducing disaccharide of glucose, has been demonstrated to be a potent, nontoxic bioprotectant for stabilizing lipids, proteins, viruses, and blood cells at cryogenic and particularly, ambient temperatures (i.e., cryo and lyopreservation) [2]. However, intracellular delivery of trehalose into small eukaryotic mammalian cells in a large quantity for biostabilization purpose has not been very successful so far [2]. In this study, a thermally responsive polymeric nanocapsule was synthesized and characterized with the aim to encapsulate trehalose for its intracellular delivery.
