ASSESSING THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN NANOPARTICLES AND BIOLOGICAL BARRIERS IN VITRO: A NEW CHALLENGE FOR MICROSCOPY TECHNIQUES IN NANOMEDICINE

Assessing the interactions between nanoparticles and biological barriers in vitro: a new challenge for microscopy techniques in nanomedicine

Nanoconstructs intended to be used as biomedical tool must be assessed for their capability to cross biological barriers.However, studying in vivo the permeability of biological barriers to nanoparticles is quite difficult due to the many structural and functional factors involved.Therefore, the in vitro modeling of biological barriers -2D cell mon
