Particle elasticity regulates in vitro cellular uptake. Relative cellular uptake of synthesized NLP and NLGs by MDA-MB-231 (a), MCF7 (b), and MCF10A (c) cells. Relative cytotoxicity of engineered NLP and NLGs in MDA-MB-231 (d), MCF7 (e), and MCF10A (f) cells. The concentration (g) and serum (h) dependence of particle elasticity-mediated cellular uptake in MDA-MB-231 cells. i Fluorescent microscope images of MDA-MB-231 cellular uptake of synthesized NLP and NLGs with varying elasticity. The scale bars represent 50 μm. ***P < 0.001. The mean values and error bars are defined as mean and S.D., respectively
