Image of the Month – Cell-based trafficking of nanoparticles

Cell-based trafficking of nanoparticles is achieved through in situ uptake and transport of nanoparticles by myeloid cells.  Shown here is the cell membrane of a macrophage, pseudo-colored in green, in the process of internalizing silica nanoparticles, pseudo-colored in pink.
