Folate-mediated macromolecule delivery across the epithelium

Folate uses the natural endocytosis pathway via the folate receptor (FR) to enter the cells. Folate conjugation to small or macromolecular therapeutics has hence been exploited for intracellular delivery to, particularly, cancerous cells. This work reports on the expression and functionality of FR i...
