Chemotherapeutics that self-assemble into colloids have limited efficacy above their critical aggregation concentration due to their inability to penetrate intact plasma membranes. Even when colloid uptake is promoted, issues with colloid escape from the endolysosomal pathway persist. By stabilizing acid-responsive lapatinib colloids through coaggregation with fulvestrant, and inclusion of transferrin, we demonstrate colloid internalization by cancer cells, where subsequent lapatinib ionization ...[more]
