Studying the dynamic mechanism of transporting a single drug carrier-polyamidoamine dendrimer through cell membranes by force tracing

Abstract: Although drug delivery based on nanomaterials has shown great potential in practical applications, the trans-membrane mechanism of the drug carrier is still unclear due to technical limitations. Here, we report the dynamic transporting process of a single dendritic polyamidoamine particle via cell membranes in real time by the force tracing technique.

“…Since confocal microscopy has a non-invasive ability and can penetrate deep into a sample, it has been applied to many scientific fields, such as drug delivery and virus invasion [26,27]. The principle of confocal microscopy is shown in Figure 2; in confocal microscopy, the illumination and detection are restricted to a diffraction-limited area in the sample, which rejects a higher background and yields a higher resolution in contrast to wide-field epifluorescence microscopy [28,29].…”

“…The polyvalent interaction of dendrimers with protein [29,30] resembles a common type of interaction between biological entities such as receptors and ligands or virus and cell surface, etc. [31][32][33][34] Nano-sized carriers systems with dendrimer core are monodisperse therapeutic scaffolds that would possibly allow BDNF delivery to damaged cells, enhancing its local concentration and protein stability against enzymatic degradation. Therefore, we thought to use dendrimers to improve the extracellular retaining of BDNF without the need of covalent chemistry.…”
