Where this comes from

Abstract

New insights into active versus passive nanoparticle tumour entry and exit mechanisms are enriching the understanding of tumour-targeted drug delivery. Here, we align the principles of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) and active transport and retention (ATR), and outline how their mechanistic features may be employed to improve the performance and clinical impact of cancer nanomedicines.
