Abstract
A critical issue in nanomedicine is on the understanding of nano-bio interface behaviors, particularly when the nanoparticles are inevitably decorated by protein coronas in the physiological fluids. In this study, the effects of particle surface corona on cancer cell targeting were investigated in simulated physiological fluids. Cell targeting was achieved by two strategies: (1) using conventional epithelial cell adhesion molecule antibody-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles and (2) rendering the same but naked magnetic nanoparticles electrically positively charged, enabling them to electrostatically bind onto the negatively charged cancer cells. The cell-particle electrostatic binding was found to be much stronger with faster reaction kinetics than the immunological interactions even at 4 nC. Both types of nanoparticles were decorated with various protein coronas by administration in a simulated physiological system. Well-decorated by protein coronas, the electrically charged particles retained strong electrostatic interactions with cancer cells, even upon reversal of the particle zeta potential from positive to negative. This behavior was explained by a nonuniform corona modulation of the particle surface charge distributions, exposing locally positively charged regions, capable of strong electrostatic cell binding and magnetic capturing in a physiological environment. This fundamental discovery paves new way for sensitive detection of circulating tumor cells in whole blood in clinical settings.

Abstract
Adsorption of blood proteins to the surface of nanocarriers is known to be the critical factor influencing cellular interactions and eventually determining the successful application of nanocarriers as drug carriers in vivo. There is an increasing number of reports summarizing large data sets of all identified corona proteins. However, to date our knowledge about the multiple mechanisms mediating interactions between proteins and nanocarriers is still limited. In this study, we investigate the influence of protein structure on the adsorption process and focus on the effect of heat inactivation of serum and plasma, which is a common cell culture procedure used to inactivate the complement system. As in general routine lab procedure, heat inactivation was performed at 56 °C for 30 min in order to denature heat labile proteins. When nanocarriers were exposed to native versus heat inactivated serum, we saw that the cellular uptake by macrophages was significantly affected. These results were then correlated with an altered corona composition that depended on the treatment of the protein source. In summary, we were able to prove that the protein structure is one of the key parameters determining protein corona formation.

Abstract
The protein corona is a concept central to a range of disciplines exploiting the bio-nano interface. As the literature continues to expand in this field, it is essential to condense and contextualize the in vitro and in vivo proteome databases accumulated over the past decade: a goal which this review intends to achieve for the benefit of nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology. The parameters used for our review are the physicochemical characteristics of the nanoparticles, their surface ligands, the biological matrix from which a corona was formed, methods employed, plus the top-ten enriched corona proteins. In addition, the protein coronal networks and their implications in vivo are highlighted for selected studies.

Abstract
Nanoparticle delivery systems offer advantages over free drugs, in that they increase solubility and biocompatibility. Nanoparticles can deliver a high payload of therapeutic molecules while limiting off-target side effects. Therefore, delivery of an existing drug with a nanoparticle frequently results in an increased therapeutic index. Whether of synthetic or biologic origin, nanoparticle surface coatings are often required to reduce immune clearance and thereby increase circulation times allowing the carriers to reach their target site. To this end, polyethylene glycol (PEG) has long been used, with several PEGylated products reaching clinical use. Unfortunately, the growing use of PEG in consumer products has led to an increasing prevalence of PEG-specific antibodies in the human population, which in turn has fueled the search for alternative coating strategies. This review highlights alternative bioinspired nanoparticle shielding strategies, which may be more beneficial moving forward than PEG and other synthetic polymer coatings.

Abstract
Nanocarriers (NC) are very promising tools for cancer immunotherapy. Whereas conventional vaccines are based on the administration of an antigen and an adjuvant in an independent fashion, nanovaccines can facilitate cell-specific co-delivery of antigen and adjuvant. Furthermore, nanovaccines can be decorated on their surface with molecules that facilitate target-specific antigen delivery to certain antigen-presenting cell types or tumor cells. However, the target cell-specific uptake of nanovaccines is highly dependent on the modifications of the nanocarrier itself. One of these is the formation of a protein corona around NC after in vivo administration, which may potently affect cell-specific targeting and uptake of the NC. Understanding the formation and composition of the protein corona is, therefore, of major importance for the use of nanocarriers in vaccine approaches. This Mini Review will give a short overview of potential non-specific interactions of NC with body fluids or cell surfaces that need to be considered for the design of NC vaccines for immunotherapy of cancer.

Abstract
Nanocarriers that are used for targeted drug delivery come in contact with biological liquids and subsequently proteins will adsorb to the nanocarriers' surface to form the so called 'protein corona'. The protein corona defines the biological identity and determines the biological response towards the nanocarriers in the body. To make nanomedicine safe and reliable it is required to get a better insight into this protein corona and, therefore, the adsorbed proteins have to be characterized. Currently, centrifugation is the common method to isolate the protein corona for further investigations. However, with this method it is only possible to investigate the strongly bound proteins, also referred to as 'hard protein corona'. Therefore, we want to introduce a new separation technique to separate nanoparticles including the soft protein corona containing also loosely bound proteins for further characterization. The used separation technique is the asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4). We were able to separate the nanoparticles with proteins forming the soft protein corona and were able to show that in our system only the hard protein corona directly influenced the cell uptake behavior. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Currently, there is an ongoing debate whether only strongly bound proteins (hard corona) or also loosely bound proteins (soft corona) contribute to the biological identity of nanocarriers, because up to now isolation of the soft corona was not possible. Here, asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation was used to isolate nanoparticles with a preserved soft corona from the biological medium. This enabled the characterization of the soft corona composition and to evaluate its influence on cellular uptake. For our system we found that only the strongly bound proteins (hard corona) determined cell internalization. This method can now be used to evaluate the impact of the soft corona further and to characterize nanomaterials that cannot be separated from blood plasma by other means.

Abstract
Formation of the biomolecular corona ultimately determines the successful application of nanoparticles in vivo. Adsorption of biomolecules such as proteins is an inevitable process that takes place instantaneously upon contact with physiological fluid (e.g. blood). Therefore, strategies are needed to control this process in order to improve the properties of the nanoparticles and to allow targeted drug delivery. Here, we show that the design of the protein corona by a pre-formed protein corona with tailored properties enables targeted cellular interactions. Nanoparticles were pre-coated with immunoglobulin depleted plasma to create and design a protein corona that reduces cellular uptake by immune cells. It was proven that a pre-formed protein corona remains stable even after nanoparticles were re-introduced to plasma. This opens up the great potential to exploit protein corona formation, which will significantly influence the development of novel nanomaterials.

Abstract
Nanoparticles offer a promising avenue for targeted delivery of therapies. To slow clearance, nanoparticles are frequently stealth-coated to prevent opsonization and immune recognition. Serum albumin (SA) has been used as a bio-inspired stealth coating. To develop this shielding strategy for clinical applications, it is critical to understand the interactions between the immune system and SA-camouflaged nanoparticles. This work investigates the in vivo processing of SA-coated nanoparticles using tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as a model system. In comparing four different SA-formulations, the particles with high SA coverage conjugated to TMV via a short linker performed the best at preventing antibody recognition. Irrelevant of the coating chemistry, all formulations led to similar levels of TMV-specific antibodies after repeat administration in mice; importantly though, SA-specific antibodies were not detected and the TMV-specific antibodies were unable to recognize shielded SA-coated TMV. Upon uptake in macrophages, the shielding agent and nanoparticle separate, where TMV trafficked to the lysosome and SA appears to recycle. The distinct intracellular fates of the TMV carrier and SA shielding agent explain why anti-TMV but not SA-specific antibodies are generated. This work characterizes the outcomes of SA-camouflaged TMV after immune recognition, and highlights the effectiveness of SA as a nanoparticle shielding agent.

Abstract
The use of nanocarriers as drug delivery vehicles brings them into contact with blood plasma proteins. Polymeric nanocarriers require some sort of surfactant to ensure colloidal stability. Formation of the protein corona is therefore determined not only by the intrinsic properties of the nanocarrier itself but also by the accompanying surfactant. Although it is well-known that surfactants have an impact on protein structure, only few studies were conducted on the specific effect of surfactants on the composition of protein corona of nanocarriers. Therefore, we analyzed the composition of the protein corona on "stealth" nanoparticles with additional surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, CTMA-Cl) after plasma incubation. Additional CTMA-Cl led to an enrichment of apolipoprotein-A1 and vitronectin in the corona, while less clusterin could be found. Further, the structural stability of apolipoprotein-A1 and clusterin was monitored for a wide range of CTMA-Cl concentrations. Clusterin turned out to be more sensitive to CTMA-Cl, with denaturation occurring at lower concentrations.

Abstract
The interaction of nanocarriers with blood plasma components influences the biological response, and therefore, it needs to be controlled. Whereas protein adsorption to nanocarriers has been investigated to a large extent, the role of lipid interaction for drug delivery and its biological effect is not yet clear. However, lipids represent an important constituent of blood plasma and are usually bound in the form of lipoproteins. Because already for many nanocarrier systems an enrichment of apolipoproteins in their protein corona was reported, we examine the interaction of lipoproteins with nanocarriers. If interaction occurs in terms of lipoprotein adsorption, two scenarios are possible: adsorption of intact lipoprotein complexes or disintegration of the complexes with adsorption of the single components. To investigate the interaction and clarify which scenario occurs, polymeric model nanoparticles and different lipoprotein types have been studied by isothermal titration calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and other methods. Our data indicate that upon contact with polymeric nanoparticles, disintegration of lipoproteins and adsorption of lipids occurs. Further, the effect of lipoprotein adsorption on cell uptake has been examined, and a major effect of the lipoproteins has been found. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE It is now well accepted that nanomaterials developed as diagnostic or therapeutic carrier systems need to be well characterized in terms of biological responses inside an organism. Many studies have already shown that proteins adsorb to the surface of a nanomaterial and create a new interface that define the identity of the material. However, the presence of other surface-active components of the blood plasma and how they interact with nanomaterials has been much less investigated. Thus, this study aims at providing a significant contribution to understanding the interaction mechanism between lipoproteins and nanomaterials. Since lipoproteins transport a high amount of lipids, which are surface-active molecules, the demonstrated interactions can go as far as complete lipoprotein disintegration.

Abstract
Mucus, which is secreted by the goblet cells of enterocytes, constitutes the first obstacle encountered for the intestinal absorption of nanomedicines. For decades, mucus has simply been regarded as a physical barrier that hinders the permeation and absorption of drugs, because of its high viscosity and reticular structure, whereas the interaction of mucus ingredients with nanomedicines is usually neglected. It is unclear whether glycoproteins, as the main components of mucus, interact with nanomedicines. We also do not know how the potential interaction affects the subsequent transportation of nanomedicines through the intestinal epithelium. In this study, mucin as the key element of mucus was investigated to characterize the interaction of nanomedicines with mucus. PEG-modified gold nanoparticles (PGNPs) were fabricated as model nanoparticles. Mucin was found to adhere to the nanoparticle surface to form a corona structure and induce the clustering of PGNPs by joining particles together, demonstrating the interaction between mucin and PGNPs. In addition, two intestinal epithelia, Caco-2 (non- mucus secretion) and HT-29 (high mucus secretion), were compared to evaluate the influence of mucin on the cellular interaction of PGNPs. Amazingly, mucin altered the trafficking characteristic of PGNPs in intestinal epithelium. Both in vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrated more nanoparticles being internalized by cells due to the mucin coverage. However, mucin induced a significant reduction in the transcytosis of PGNPs across epithelial monolayers. The mechanism exploration further revealed that the "more endocytosis but less transcytosis (MELT)" effect was mainly attributed to the strengthened retrograde pathway in which more PGNPs were transported to Golgi apparatus and exocytosed back to the apical but not the basolateral side of the epithelial monolayers. The "MELT" effect endowed mucin with duality in the nanoparticle transportation. Therefore, the rational regulation based on the "MELT" effect will provide new insight into overcoming the mucus obstacle as a barrier and enhancing the oral absorption rate of nanomedicines.

Abstract
Chiral properties of nanoscale materials are of importance as they dominate interactions with proteins in physiological environments; however, they have rarely been investigated. In this study, a systematic investigation is conducted for the adsorption behaviors of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto the chiral surfaces of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), involving multiple techniques and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. The adsorption of BSA onto both L- and D-chiral surfaces of AuNPs shows discernible differences involving thermodynamics, adsorption orientation, exposed charges, and affinity. As a powerful supplement, MD simulation provides a molecular-level understanding of protein adsorption onto nanochiral surfaces. Salt bridge interaction is proposed as a major driving force at protein-nanochiral interface interaction. The spatial distribution features of functional groups (COO- , NH3+ , and CH3 ) of chiral molecules on the nanosurface play a key role in the formation and location of salt bridges, which determine the BSA adsorption orientation and binding strength to chiral surfaces. Sequentially, BSA corona coated on nanochiral surfaces affects their uptake by cells. The results enhance the understanding of protein corona, which are important for biological effects of nanochirality in living organisms.

Abstract
Nanoparticulate drug carriers exploit the enhanced permeability of tumor vasculature to achieve selective delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. For this purpose, nanoparticles (NPs) need to circulate with a long half-life, enter tumors via the permeable vasculature and stay in tumors via favorable interactions with tumor cells. To fulfill these requirements, albumin-coated nanocrystal formulation of paclitaxel (PTX), Cim-F-alb, featuring high drug loading content, physical stability in serum, and surface-bound albumin in its native conformation is prepared. The pharmacokinetic and biodistribution (PK/BD) profiles of Cim-F-alb in a mouse model of B16F10 melanoma show that Cim-F-alb exhibits a longer plasma half-life and a greater PTX deposition in tumors than Abraxane by ≈1.5 and ≈4.6 fold, respectively. Biolayer interferometry analysis indicates that Cim-F-alb has less interaction with serum proteins than nanocrystals lacking albumin coating, indicating the protective effect of the surface-bound albumin against opsonization in the initial deposition phase. With the advantageous PK/BD profiles, Cim-F-alb shows greater and longer-lasting anticancer efficacy than Abraxane at the equivalent dose. This study demonstrates the significance of controlling circulation stability and surface property of NPs in efficient drug delivery to tumors and enhanced anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
Despite considerable efforts in the field of nanomedicine that have been made by researchers, funding agencies, entrepreneurs, and the media, fewer nanoparticle (NP) technologies than expected have made it to clinical trials. The wide gap between the efforts and effective clinical translation is, at least in part, due to multiple overlooked factors in both in vitro and in vivo environments, a poor understanding of the nano-bio interface, and misinterpretation of the data collected in vitro, all of which reduce the accuracy of predictions regarding the NPs' fate and safety in humans. To minimize this bench-to-clinic gap, which may accelerate successful clinical translation of NPs, this opinion paper aims to introduce strategies for systematic debugging of nano-bio interfaces in the current literature.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials may adversely impact human health and environmental safety by nano-bio-eco interactions not fully understood. Their interaction with biotic and abiotic environments are varied and complicated, ranging from individual species to entire ecosystems. Their behavior, transport, fate, and toxicological profiles in these interactions, addressed in a pioneering study, are subsequently seldom reported. Biological, chemical, and physical dimension properties, the so-called multidimensional characterization, determine interactions. Intermediate species generated in the dynamic process of nanomaterial transformation increase the complexity of assessing nanotoxicity. We review recent progress in understanding these interactions, discuss the challenges of the study, and suggest future research directions.
