Effects of particle uptake, encapsulation, and localization in cancer cells on intracellular applications

Highlights • Endocytosis is affected by cell function, and likely malignancy. • Particles endocytose into cells with reduced cell–cell interactions. • Endocytosed particles may become unencapsulated by membranes with time. • Endocytosis can safely be used to internalize particles for tracking....
