Fig. 1From: Optical and electron microscopy study of laser-based intracellular molecule delivery using peptide-conjugated photodispersible gold nanoparticle agglomeratesSchematic illustration of uptake and laser-based release of molecules co-incubated with CPP-AuNPs. During incubation CPP-AuNPs and the cargo are endocytosed. Inside the cell these endosomes mature unless their membranes are ruptured via laser irradiation to release the content to the cytosolBack to article page
