C04
Investigation of cellular response to nanoparticle uptake by dual TEM and superresolution fluorescence imaging
Two female chemists working on an electron microscope.
C04 investigates the internalisation of nanoparticles into cells and tissue and their association to intracellular compartments and their interactions with membranes. For this purpose, a combination of electron microscopy and high-resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques are utilised. Co-localisation of inflammatory markers, enzymes and receptors in the cellular context in response of particle uptake and drug release is used to obtain a deeper inside into the mode of action of nanoparticle formulations in the biological context.
