BME 695N Lecture 7: Normal&facilitated cell entry mechanisms - a podcast by James Leary

Outline:IntroductionThe general problem of cell entryChoosing modes of cell entryHow does Nature do it? (biomimetics)Non-specific uptake mechanismsPinocytosis by all cellsPhagocytosis by some cellsReceptor mediated uptakeReceptor mediated transport of desired moleculesExample- transferrin receptor transport of iron for metabolismNanoparticle uptakeSize mattersAgglomeration reduces uptakeDrug delivery by "shedding"Extracellular drug delivery by sheddingIntracellular drug release by shedding
