Cellular association of nanoparticles in vitro with the coumarin-6 acting as the fluorescence probe. (A) Qualitative images of cells obtained by the fluorescence microscope after incubated cells with different nanoparticles. (B) Quantitative analysis of HUVEC cellular uptake of various nanoparticles post 1 h of incubation. (C) Quantitative analysis of C6 cellular uptake of various nanoparticles post 1 h of incubation. ###p < .001 significantly higher than the cellular uptake of unmodified NP-C6.
