How Do Nanoparticles Utilize Clathrin Mediated Endocytosis?
Nanoparticles can be engineered to exploit clathrin mediated endocytosis by modifying their surface properties to interact with specific cell surface receptors. Once these nanoparticles bind to the receptors, they trigger the formation of clathrin-coated pits, which eventually bud off to form vesicles that transport the nanoparticles into the cell.
