• -NP uptake was further examined by 3D-structured illumination microscopy and quantified with high-content analysis. Briefly, rBCEC4 cells were seeded at 36,000 cells (96-well plate) or 180,000 cells (24 well plate), left to adhere, then exposed to either PCL-, PLLA- or Au-NPs for either 30 min, 2 h or
