Control of targeting ligand display by pH-responsive polymers on gold nanoparticles mediates selective entry into cancer cells

Selective targeting of cells for intracellular delivery of therapeutics represents a major challenge for pharmaceutical intervention in disease. Here we show pH triggered receptor-mediated endocytosis of nanoparticles via surface ligand exposure. Gold nanoparticles were decorated with two polymers:...
