Getting straight to the point : A peptide–phospholipid‐based biomimetic nanocarrier was developed that can transport cargo molecules directly into cytosolic compartments through a non‐endocytotic uptake mechanism mediated by scavenger receptor class B type I (SR‐BI; see schematic illustration). The fluorescent image shows the cytosolic localization of a dye (red) delivered by the nanocarrier to SR‐BI‐positive cells (nuclei: blue, membranes: cyan).
