Different endocytotic uptake mechanisms for nanoparticles in epithelial cells and macrophages
Precise knowledge regarding cellular uptake of nanoparticles is of great importance for future biomedical applications.Four different Drugs endocytotic uptake mechanisms, that is, phagocytosis, macropinocytosis, clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytosis, were investigated using a mouse macrophage (J774A.1) and a human alveolar epithelial type II
