Passive accumulation (in cells) is based on the unique architecture of the tumor tissue, where neo-angiogenesis leads to an atypical endothelial layer and to fenestrated vasculature, which together with the impaired lymphatic drainage guides the penetration and accumulation of nano-sized materials within the cancerous tissues.
Exploited for drug design in the nanomedicine field.
