Inside Front Cover: Cellular journey of nanomaterials: Theories, trafficking, and kinetics

Abstract

Subcellular distribution of engineered nanomaterials is always along with conversion of endosomal-lysosomal system, which is highly dynamic depending on intracellular trafficking between different compartments. Understanding the cellular fate of nanomaterials is critical for targeting ideal organelles to minimize the adverse effect of nanomedicine. Advanced technologies for probing the nano-cell interaction with high temporal-spatial resolution are expected to provide new insights (e372).
