Cyclic Strain Enhances Cellular Uptake of Nanoparticles

Figure 5

The cellular nanoparticle uptake after stretching 1 h and waiting for 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 9 h, 11 h, 13 h, and 22 h. Control group shows the cells without stretching. The uptake of nanoparticles decreased after 4 h and recovered to static condition after 13 h. Bars represent mean ± SEM (). versus control group.
