Figure 40. — Modes of entry for nanoparticle uptake by membrane wrapping: (I) submarine mode with the long axis of the particles oriented parallel to the membrane, (II) rocket mode with the long axis oriented perpendicular to the membrane, and (III) competition between submarine and rocket mode as observed for rod-like particles with high aspect ratios. The complete-wrapped particle is connected by an infinitely small catenoidal neck to the membrane; the particle orientation in this state is irrelevant. Reprinted with permission from [176].
