Folate targeted nanoassemblies. Enhanced cellular uptake by folate-mediated endocytosis of folate-conjugated nanoassemblies. The plasma membrane envelops the nanoassembly/folate receptor complex to form an endosome. As the lumen of the maturing endosome acidifies up to pH 5.5, the receptor changes the conformation and releases the conjugate.
