NP characterization. a A schematic diagram of a core-shell PLGA-lipid NP. b Cryo-TEM images of a Lip-F1275% NP (left), a PLGA70-Lip-F1275% NP (middle), and a PLGA160-Lip-F1275% NP (right). Scale bar: 100 nm. c Peak fluorescence intensity and d Young’s modulus values of NPs with different hydrodynamic diameters of PLGA core. (n = 3). e Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of Lip-F1275% NPs, PLGA70-Lip-F1275% NPs, and PLGA160-Lip-F1275% NPs and the corresponding deformation images of the NPs after being subjected to forces of different magnitudes. Scale bar: 200 nm
