Impact of the hypoxic phenotype on the uptake and efflux of nanoparticles by human breast cancer cells

Abstract Breast cancer cells adapt to the hypoxic tumoral environment by undergoing changes in metabolism, cell signalling, endo-lysosomal receptor uptake and recycling. The resulting hypoxic cell phenotype has the potential to undermine the therapeutic efficacy of nanomedicines designed for endocyt...
