Analysis of BTNPs targeting to cancer cell membranes. (a) Confocal fluorescence microscopy of BTNPs/Ab-BTNPs associating with cancer cell membranes (SK-BR-3 plasma membranes in green, BTNPs in red, nuclei in blue). Histograms showing both (b) Mander’s coefficient and (c) area of BTNP signal overlapping with cell membrane signal. (d) SEM scan showing the surface of SK-BR-3 cells treated with BTNPs or Ab-BTNPS. (e) ICP analysis assessing BaTiO3 concentration in SK-BR-3 cultures treated for 1 h with BTNPs or Ab-BTNPs. (*p < 0.05).
