Potential nanoparticle penetration routes through the skin.
<p>A) 1) via broken epidermis, 2) intercellular route, 3) transappendageal route via hair follicles (or sweat ducts) and 4) intracellular route (modified from [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0177219#pone.0177219.ref010" target="_blank">10</a>]) B) magnified schematic of a silica nanoparticle in the capillary, showing example surface features that are thought to contribute to HA in vitro.</p
