Yet, in many applications the nanoparticles need to be in direct contact with the cytosol in order to be active. We report a simulation study that elucidates the physical mechanisms by which such nanoparticles can shed their bilayer coating. We find that nanoparticle release can be readily achieved by a pH-induced lowering of the attraction between nanoparticle and membrane only if the nanoparticle is either very small or nonspherical. Interestingly, we find that in the case of large spherical nanoparticles, the reduction of attraction needs to be accompanied by exerting an additional tension on the membrane (e.g., via nanoparticle expansion) to achieve release. We expect these findings will contribute to the rational design of drug delivery strategies via nanoparticles." .
