| Abstract | Understanding how nanoparticle characteristics mediate their interactions with blood cells in the body is crucial to promoting their safety and effectiveness. Nanoparticles delivered to the bloodstream are surrounded by red blood cells, a variety of white blood cells, and platelets. Despite blood’s complexity, most studies developing nanoparticles for imaging applications have focused on assessing off-target nanoparticle interactions with a subtype of white blood cells called macrophages.
