Surface modification of nanoparticles enables selective evasion of phagocytic clearance by distinct macrophage phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Nanomedicine is a burgeoning industry but an understanding of the interaction of nanomaterials with the immune system is critical for clinical translation. Macrophages play a fundamental role in the immune system by engulfing foreign particulates such as nanoparticles. When activated, macrophages form distinct phenotypic populations with unique immune functions, however the mechanism by which these polarized...
