Although nanoparticle-tagged antimicrobal peptides have gained considerable importance
in recent years, their structure–function correlation has not yet been explored. Here, we have …

Reduced toxicity and ease of modification make gold nanoparticles (GNPs) suitable for
targeted delivery, bioimaging and theranostics by conjugating cell-penetrating peptides …

Permeability barrier imposed by stratum corneum makes an extreme challenge for the
topical delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA), which is widely used in gene therapy. Existing …

Background: Research interest on the properties of polymer conjugated gold nanoparticle
(GNP) in biomedicine is rapidly rising because of the extensive evidences for their unique …

Nanoparticles are engineered from materials such as metals, polymers, and different carbon
allotropes that do not exist within the body. Exposure to these exogenous compounds raises …

Cationic nanoparticles (NPs) have shown great potential in biological applications owing to
their distinct features such as favorable cellular internalization and easy binding to …

We present a general strategy to create polypeptide–gold nanoconjugates by a one-pot
synthesis approach, where polypeptides act not only as capping agents but also as …

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a key anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokine and
therefore represents a potential therapeutic agent especially in inflammatory diseases …

Complement opsonization is among the biggest challenges facing nanomedicine. Nearly
instantly after injection into blood, nanoparticles are opsonized by the complement protein …

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening
condition of critically-ill patients, characterized by overwhelming inflammatory responses in …
