Abstract
An important aspect in the design of nanomaterials for delivery is an understanding of its uptake and ultimate release to the cytosol of target cells. Real-time chemical sensing using a nanoparticle-based platform affords exquisite insight into the trafficking of materials and their cargo into cells. This versatile and tunable technology provides a powerful tool to probe the mechanism of cellular entry and cytosolic delivery of a variety of materials, allowing for a simple and convenient means to screen materials towards efficient delivery of therapeutics such as nucleic acids.Entities:
