C04

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.
