主 题:Receptor-mediated endocytosis nanoparticle uptake optimization method receptor-ligand bonds drug delivery
摘 要:In this work,a three-dimensional axisymmetric model with nanoparticle,receptor-ligand bonds and cell membrane as a system was used to study the quasi-static receptor-mediated endocytosis process of spherical nanoparticles in drug *** minimization of the system energy function was carried out numerically,and the deformations of nanoparticle,receptor-ligand bonds and cell membrane were *** show that passive endocytosis may fail due to the rupture of receptor-ligand bonds during the wrapping process,and the size and rigidity of nanoparticles affect the total deformation energy and the terminal wrapping *** results suggest that,in addition to the energy requirement,the success of passive endocytosis also depends on the maximum strength of the receptor-ligand bonds.
