Macrophages can be affected by a variety of factors to change their phenotype and thus
affect their function. Activated macrophages are usually divided into two categories, M1-like …

Human immune system acts as a pivotal role in the tissue homeostasis and disease
progression. Immunomodulatory biomaterials that can manipulate innate immunity and …

After administration of nanoparticle (NP) into biological fluids, an NP–protein complex is
formed, which represents the “true identity” of NP in our body. Hence, protein–NP interaction …

Phagocytes are key cellular participants determining important aspects of host exposure to
nanomaterials, initiating clearance, biodistribution and the tenuous balance between host …

Despite the wide success of antibiotics in modern medicine, the treatment of bacterial
infections still faces critical challenges, especially due to the rapid emergence of antibiotic …

For decades infections have been treated easily with drugs. However, in the 21st century,
they may become lethal again owing to the development of antimicrobial resistance …

Despite the wide success of antibiotics, the treatment of bacterial infections still faces
significant challenges, particularly the emergence of antibiotic resistance. As a result …

Engineered magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) represent a cutting-edge tool in medicine
because they can be simultaneously functionalized and guided by a magnetic field. Use of …

Controlled release of drugs from nanostructured functional materials, especially
nanoparticles (NPs), is attracting increasing attention because of the opportunities in cancer …

Tumor cell lines are often used as models for the study of nanoparticle− cell interactions.
Here we demonstrate that carboxy (PS-COOH) and amino functionalized (PS-NH2) …
