Proteins are biopolymers of highly varied structures taking part in almost all processes
occurring in living cells. When nanoparticles (NPs) interact with proteins in biological …

For systemically delivered nanoparticles to reach target tissues, they must first circulate long
enough to reach the target and extravasate there. A challenge is that the particles end up …

The innate immune system provides the first line of defence against foreign microbes and
particulate materials. Engineered nanoparticles can interact with the immune system in …

Upon contact with a biological milieu, nanomaterials tend to interact with biomolecules
present in the media, especially proteins, leading to the formation of the so-called “protein …

The current understanding of the biological identity that nanoparticles may acquire in a
given biological milieu is mostly inferred from the hard component of the protein corona …

Using a family of cationic gold nanoparticles (NPs) with similar size and charge, we
demonstrate that proper surface engineering can control the nature and identity of protein …

A protein corona is formed at the surface of nanoparticles in the presence of biological fluids,
masking the surface properties of the particle and complicating the relationship between …

Nowadays, nanodrugs become a hotspot in the high-end medical field. They have the ability
to deliver drugs to reach their destination more effectively due to their unique properties and …

Nanoplastics are recognized as able to interact with other pollutants including heavy metals,
and with natural organic matter, with implications for the potential risks to biota. We …

The physicochemical properties of a set of 21 different gold nanoparticles (spherical and rod-
shaped nanoparticles (NPs) of different diameters with three different surface coatings) were …
