Abstract

Monitoring of payloads results in a biased perception of long circulation of nanoparticles. Instead, herein, the long-circulation effect was re-confirmed by monitoring integral nanoparticles, but circulation was not found to be as long as generally perceived. In contrast, disparate pharmacokinetics were obtained by monitoring a model drug, paclitaxel, highlighting the bias of the conventional protocol.
