How Can Endocytosis be Targeted to Mitigate Toxic Effects?
Understanding endocytosis can aid in developing strategies to mitigate toxicity. For instance, inhibitors of specific endocytic pathways can be used to reduce the uptake of certain toxicants. Moreover, designing nanoparticles that avoid endocytic uptake can enhance the safety profile of therapeutic agents. Additionally, biodegradable materials can be engineered to release their contents more safely within the cell.
