Researchers from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst have developed polymer-stabilized droplet carriers that can identify and engulf nanoparticles to bring them into a cell. The team was inspired by proteins that can recognize microbes or debris and then encapsulate the material to get rid of it.
The team believes that this demonstration of surface-to-surface nanoparticle transport, which was published in Science Advances, is the 1st of its kind.
