Abstract excerpt
Delivery of macromolecules into the cytosolic space of eukaryotic cells is a pressing challenge in biopharmaceutics. Macromolecules are often encapsulated into liposomes for protection and improved distribution, but the their size often induces endocytosis of the vehicle at the target site, leading to degradation of the cargo. Listeriolysin O is a key virulence factor of Listeria monocytogenes that forms pores in...
