The determination of the viscoelastic properties of cells by atomic force microscopy (AFM) is mainly realized by looking at the relaxation of the force when a constant position of the AFM head is maintained or at the evolution of the indentation when a constant force is maintained. In both cases the analysis rests on the hypothesis that the...

Experiments of magnetolysis, i.e., destruction of cells induced with magnetic particles (MPs) submitted to the application of a magnetic field, were conducted on HepG2 cancer cells. We herein demonstrate the usefulness of combining anisotropic MPs with an alternative magnetic field in magnetolysis. Thus, the application of an alternative...

The incorporation of carbohydrate functional elements in the architecture of polycationic amphiphilic cyclodextrins (paCDs) provides glycosylated paCDs (pGaCDs) that form transfectious nanocomplexes (glycoCDplexes) with pDNA. In this study, we aimed at elucidating the internalization mechanisms at play and their incidence in transfection...

Precise control over the architecture of gene carriers is instrumental to manipulate gene delivery efficiency. Combining cationic centers and carbohydrate motifs into monodisperse architectures has been proposed as a suitable strategy to impart nucleic acid condensation abilities while preserving biocompatibility. Herein, we have assessed the...

Molecular motors transport various cargoes including vesicles, proteins and mRNAs, to distinct intracellular compartments. A significant challenge in the field of nanotechnology is to improve drug nuclear delivery by engineering nanocarriers transported by cytoskeletal motors. However, suitable in vivo models to assay transport and delivery...
