Studies
The N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) receptor has been recently found to interact and bind with vimentins at the cell surface. Research indicates that the GlcNAc receptor can therefore be used to target vimentin-expressing cells for gene delivery via receptor-mediated endocytosis.[1]
gollark: I think *a* way to handle that issue would be to say that you only have an expectation of privacy for information you're actually taking reasonable steps to prevent exit of.
gollark: Which is... many.
gollark: I only do that to rules which are very stupid.
gollark: Do fancier systems for that include automatic privacy-invasion-detection and lawsuit-sending?
gollark: It's already been sort of started on, since we got, well, medicine.
