Abstract
Nanomedicine is recognized as a promising agent for diverse biomedical applications; however, its safety and efficiency in clinical practice remains to be enhanced. A priority issue is the protein corona (PC), which imparts unique biological identities to prototype and determines the actual biological functions in biological fluids. Decades of work has already illuminated abundant considerations that influence the composition of the protein corona. Thereinto, the physical assets of nanomedicines (e.g., size and shape, surface properties, nanomaterials) and the biological environment collectively play fundamental roles in shaping the PC, including the types and quantities of plasma proteins. The properties of nanomedicines are dependent on certain factors. This review aims to explore the applications of nanomedicines by regulating their interplay with PC.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-biology interaction is the critical step in the fate of biomedical nanomedicines, influencing the consequent biological outcomes. Herein, we present two-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials-graphdiyne oxide (GDYO) nanosheets that interact with an intracellular protein corona consisting of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), inducing the reeducation of immunosuppressive macrophages. The interaction at the GDYO-STAT3 interface, driven by structure matching, hydrogen bonding, and salt bridges, simultaneously triggers the immune response in the tumor microenvironment, facilitating cancer immunotherapy. For the first time, our data reveal an interaction mechanism between the nanoparticle-protein interfaces inevitably formed inside the cells that determines the macrophage phenotype. Our results suggest that GDYO nanosheets could be applied for local immunomodulation due to their function and structural organization of the intracellular protein corona occurred inside macrophages.

Tracking the interaction between single-wall carbon nanotube and SARS-Cov-2 spike glycoprotein: A molecular dynamics simulations study. Comput Biol Med 2021; 136:104692.

Abstract
COVID-19, a newly discovered type of coronavirus, is the cause of the pandemic infection that was first reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. One of the most critical problems in this regard is to identify innovative drugs that may reduce or manage this global health concern. Nanoparticles have shown a pivotal role in drug delivery systems in recent decades. The surface of nanoparticles could be covered by a layer composed of different biomolecules (e.g., proteins and macromolecules) following the incubation with a biological fluid. This protein-rich layer is called “Protein Corona.” In this study, an all-atom molecular dynamics simulation was used for investigating the monomeric B domain of the spike glycoprotein due to its role in the accessibility of the spike glycoprotein to single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The interaction energy values between the carbon nanotube and B domain of the viral spike glycoprotein were evaluated. The obtained results, based on Lennard-Jones potentials, demonstrated that SWCNTs had an affinity to the B domain of the S1 subunit in the spike glycoprotein. The adsorption of SWCNTs on the B domain surface led to a significant change in solvent-accessible surface, internal hydrogen bonds, and finally in the tertiary structure, which could provide a reasonable method to impede the interaction between the angiotensin-converting enzyme II and SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein. A decrease in the mean square displacement of the B domain was shown after the adsorption of SWCNTs as a result of increasing the hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties of the B domain. The arrangement of SWCNTs on the B domain surface and their interaction using the 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-d-glucopyranose group (988, 991, and 992) demonstrated that a change in the affinity of the S1 subunit could be used as a barrier to viral replication. The analysis of the SWCNT-B domain complex indicated that the presence of SWCNTs is able to cause alterations in the S1 subunit of the spike protein, and these nanotubes could be employed for further in-vitro and in-vivo antiviral studies. Also, SWCNTs are able to be utilized in drug delivery systems.

Cytokine-Laden Extracellular Vesicles Predict Patient Prognosis after Cerebrovascular Accident. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22157847.

Abstract
Background: A major contributor to disability after hemorrhagic stroke is secondary brain damage induced by the inflammatory response. Following stroke, global increases in numerous cytokines—many associated with worse outcomes—occur within the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and peripheral blood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) may traffic inflammatory cytokines from damaged tissue within the brain, as well as peripheral sources, across the blood–brain barrier, and they may be a critical component of post-stroke neuroinflammatory signaling. Methods: We performed a comprehensive analysis of cytokine concentrations bound to plasma EV surfaces and/or sequestered within the vesicles themselves. These concentrations were correlated to patient acute neurological condition by the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and to chronic, long-term outcome via the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E). Results: Pro-inflammatory cytokines detected from plasma EVs were correlated to worse outcomes in hemorrhagic stroke patients. Anti-inflammatory cytokines detected within EVs were still correlated to poor outcomes despite their putative neuroprotective properties. Inflammatory cytokines macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC/CCL2), colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), interleukin 7 (IL7), and monokine induced by gamma interferon (MIG/CXCL9) were significantly correlated to both negative GCS and GOS-E when bound to plasma EV membranes. Conclusions: These findings correlate plasma-derived EV cytokine content with detrimental outcomes after stroke, highlighting the potential for EVs to provide cytokines with a means of long-range delivery of inflammatory signals that perpetuate neuroinflammation after stroke, thus hindering recovery.

Magnetothermal regulation of in vivo protein corona formation on magnetic nanoparticles for improved cancer nanotherapy. Biomaterials 2021; 276:121021.

Abstract
Engineering the protein corona (PC) on nanodrugs is emerging as an effective approach to improve their pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy, but conventional in vitro pre-programmed methods have shown great limitation for regulation of the PC in the complex and dynamic in vivo physiological environment. Here, we demonstrate an magnetothermal regulation approach that allows us to in situ modulate the in vivo PC composition on iron oxide nanoparticles for improved cancer nanotherapy. Experimental results revealed that the relative levels of major opsonins and dysopsonins in the PC can be tuned quantitatively by means of heat induction mediated by the nanoparticles under an alternating magnetic field. When the PC was magnetically optimized in vivo, the nanoparticles exhibited prolonged circulation and enhanced tumor delivery efficiency in mice, 2.53-fold and 2.02-fold higher respectively than the control. This led to a superior thermotherapeutic efficacy of systemically delivered nanoparticles. In vivo magnetothermal regulation of the PC on nanodrugs will find wide applications in biomedicine.

Abstract
Nanoparticles with protein coronae can be used as promising multifunctional platforms for nanomedicine due to the possibility of performing surface functionalization on protein molecules and the achievement of biomedical properties. In this research, nanoparticles (NPs) with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PεCL) cores, gold NP (AuNP) shells and BSA coronae were fabricated by a self-assembly approach. The hydrophobic PεCL cores were used to encapsulate curcumin (CUR), the AuNP shells were decorated with a Raman probe, and the protein molecules in the coronae were functionalized with folic acid (FA). The self-assembly behaviors, drug delivery and the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of the hybrid NPs were investigated in this research. The sizes of the core-shell-corona NPs (CSCNPs) are dependent on the initial concentrations of PεCL and AuNPs. The CUR in CSCNPs show enzyme-triggered release properties. The added lipase or trypsin can facilitate the CUR release from the hybrid NPs. The functionalization of CSCNPs with FA can significantly improve the internalization of NPs into 4T1 tumor cells due to the overexpressed folate receptors on the cells. In addition, the SERS effect of CSCNPs can be achieved when the AuNPs are decorated with 2-naphthalenethiol. The hybrid CSCNPs can be used as a promising platform for spatiotemporal drug delivery, cell imaging, and theranostics. Based on the same CSCNP platform, flexible functions can be adjusted according to the application needs.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a human and animal disease endemic in tropical and subtropical areas treated by means of pentavalent antimony as first-line approach. Unfortunately, the formulations available on the market are characterized by significant side effects and a total remission of the disease is difficult to be obtained. The aim of this investigation is to describe the development and characterization of aqueous-core poly-l-lactide (PLA) nanocapsules containing glucantime (meglumine antimoniate, MA) with the aim of increasing the pharmacological efficacy of the active compound. The polymeric systems characterized by a mean diameter of ≈300 nm exert a great interaction with murine macrophages. MA-loaded PLA nanocapsules show a great antileishmanial activity on mice infected with Leishmania infantum with respect to the free drug, favoring a decrease of the administration times. The biodistribution profiles demonstrate a lower renal accumulation of MA after its nanoencapsulation and a significant increase of its plasmatic half-life. The parasite load evaluated by immunohistochemistry shows a significant decrease in liver, spleen, and kidneys when mice are treated with MA-loaded PLA nanocapsules especially after 45 days. The obtained results demonstrate the potential application of MA-loaded PLA nanocapsules as novel nanomedicine for the treatment of leishmaniasis.

Abstract
DNA aptamers and framework DNA nanostructures are emerging DNA materials with many appealing biological applications including biosensing, bioimaging, drug delivery, and so forth. When placed in physiological fluids, they inevitably encounter biomolecules (majorly proteins) and form complexes that largely affect their biological fate. Nevertheless, little is known regarding the quantitative profile of proteins that adsorb to DNA aptamers and DNA nanostructures in biological environments, and there are no potent strategies to regulate protein profiles. Herein, we performed a proteomic analysis to profile proteins that bind to DNA aptamers (Sgc8c and SYLC3) and nanostructures (a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure and a DNA origami rod) in human serum using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Dozens to hundreds of proteins were identified with each DNA material exhibiting highly distinctive profiles. It was also revealed that the origin of serum (from healthy donor vs from prostate cancer patients) causes significant differences in profiles of bound proteins. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the protein profile may be regulated by tethering a layer of single-stranded DNA (polythymine) onto the DNA origami rod to alleviate the adsorption of complement-associated proteins, which significantly reduced its sequestration by macrophages. Taken together, this study has provided qualitative and quantitative proteomic profiles regarding serum proteins that adsorb to various DNA materials and have demonstrated that the composition of interacted proteins may be regulated toward better biological performances.

Abstract
Disseminated tumor cells in bleeding and residual tumor cells in the resection tumor site are the primary factors that result in tumor recurrence after surgery. Safe and efficient local implantation of the drug depot system into the resection cavity to inhibit tumor recurrence would be of great benefit to reduce the mortality of postoperative patients. Here, a sandwich-like doxorubicin-triptolide-loaded fiber/(chitosan/gelatin) sponge, DTF/CGS, is fabricated, combining hemostatic, antibacterial, and chemotherapeutic capability. The CGS obtained via freeze-drying can efficiently prevent bleeding; meanwhile, the metastatic residual tumor cells are stuck with the clotted absorbed blood. Subsequently, dual drugs released from the electrospun fiber can further kill the stuck tumor cells in CGS and the disseminated tumor cells to significantly inhibit the tumor recurrence. This antitumor recurrence strategy by immediately implanting a multifunctional hybrid sponge for in situ postoperative management may possess great potential for preventing tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Short half-life is one of the main causes of drug attrition in clinical development, which also leads to the failure of many leading compounds and hits to become drug candidates. Nowadays, nanomaterials have been applied to drug development to address this problem. In fact, the clinical application of nanoparticles (NPs) is severely limited due to their rapid elimination by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) in vivo. In this paper, we aim to summarize representative strategies on prolonging the circulation time for bridging the gap between excellent pharmaceutics and proper half-life and encourage clinical translation.

Abstract
"There's plenty of room at the bottom" (Richard Feynman, 1959): an invitation for (metalla)carboranes to enter the (new) field of nanomedicine. For two decades, the number of publications on boron cluster compounds designed for potential applications in medicine has been constantly increasing. Hundreds of compounds have been screened in vitro or in vivo for a variety of biological activities (chemotherapeutics, radiotherapeutics, antiviral, etc.), and some have shown rather promising potential for further development. However, until now, no boron cluster compounds have made it to the clinic, and even clinical trials have been very sparse. This review introduces a new perspective in the field of medicinal boron chemistry, namely that boron-based drugs should be regarded as nanomedicine platforms, due to their peculiar self-assembly behaviour in aqueous solutions, and treated as such. Examples for boron-based 12- and 11-vertex clusters and appropriate comparative studies from medicinal (in)organic chemistry and nanomedicine, highlighting similarities, differences and gaps in physicochemical and biological characterisation methods, are provided to encourage medicinal boron chemists to fill in the gaps between chemistry laboratory and real applications in living systems by employing bioanalytical and biophysical methods for characterising and controlling the aggregation behaviour of the clusters in solution.

Abstract
Combinatorial short interference RNA (siRNA) technology for the silencing of multiple genes is expected to provide an effective therapeutic approach for cancer with complex genetic mutation and dysregulation. Herein we present a tumor-activatable supramolecular nanoplatform for the delivery of siRNAs to target telomerase and telomeres for paclitaxel-resistant non-small-cell lung cancer (A549/PTX) treatment. Two different sequences of siRNA are incorporated in a single nanoparticle, which is obtained by self-assembly from a peptide dendrimer. The siRNA stability is improved by the nanoparticle in the presence of serum compared to free siRNA, and these siRNAs are protected from RNA enzyme degradation. In the tumor extracellular acid environment, the PEG corona of the nanoparticle is removed to promote the internalization of siRNAs into tumor cells. The disulfide linkages between the nanoparticle and siRNAs are cleared in the reductive environment of the tumor cells, and the siRNAs are released in the cytoplasm. In vitro experiments show that the gene expression of hTERT and TRF2 at the mRNA and protein levels of A549/PTX tumor cells is down-regulated, which results in cooperative restraining proliferation and invasion of A549/PTX tumor cells. For the tumor cell-targeting function of the MUC1 aptamer and the EPR effect, sufficient tumor accumulation of nanoparticles was observed. Meanwhile, a shift of negative surface charge of nanoparticles to positive charge in the tumor extracellular microenvironment enhances deep penetration of siRNA-incorporating nanoparticles into tumor tissues. In vivo animal studies support that successful down-regulation of hTERT and TRF2 gene expression achieves effective inhibition of the growth and neovascularization of drug-resistant tumor cells. This work has provided a new avenue for drug-resistant cancer treatment by designing and synthesizing a tumor-activatable nanoplatform to achieve the delivery of dual-gene targeted combinatorial siRNAs.

Abstract
The stability of self-assembled drug nanocarriers during blood circulation and the controlled intracellular drug delivery are two challenges in cancer therapy. In this paper, we constructed an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/hyaluronidase(Hyals) dually responsive core-shell hyaluronan/chitosan-based drug nanocarrier for breast cancer therapy, using SNX-loaded 3-fluoro-4-carboxyphenylboronic acid-conjugated quaternary ammonium chitosan nanoparticles (SNX@HTCC-FPBA NPs) as the core and crosslinked polyethylene glycol-/methacrylate-modified hyaluronic acid (mHA-PEG) as the shell. The formed SNX@HTCC-FPBA/mHA-PEG NPs were stable against salt ion strength, pH values and human plasma mimicking the bloodstream, but ATP/Hyals dually sensitive with a drug delivery of 85% within 48 h in the mimicking intracellular environment of breast cancer cells. These nanoparticles showed a low hemolysis of less than 3%, a high resistance to bovine serum albumin adsorption of 0.06 mg/mg, and an efficient internalization by two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453). The cell culture indicated that they were friendly to human skin fibroblasts, but presented a close IC50 value to SNX for MCF-7 (0.14 μg mL-1) and MDA-MB-453 (0.05 μg mL-1) at 48 h, respectively. Thus, SNX@HTCC-FPBA/mHA-PEG NPs were potential drug nanocarriers for breast tumor therapy.

Abstract
Mice are arguably the most important tool in the preclinical evaluation of liposomes; however, the effects of inter-strain physiological variabilities on in vivo performance of liposomes have been seriously overlooked. The present study validated that plasma proteins (PPs) and the capability of mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) (typically expressed by phagocytosis rate, K) were mice strain-dependent. Physiological variabilities in PPs and the phagocytosis rate jointly contributed to the inter-strain inconsistency of pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of liposomes. For the PPs sensitive liposomes (such as plain PEGylated liposomes and folic acid functionalized PEGylated liposomes), inter-strain variabilities in PK profiles could be calibrated using the corrected phagocytic rate (KC = K×(c × Ig)/(alb×apo)), where c, Ig, alb and apo were respective the total content of complement proteins, immunoglobulins, albumin and apolipoproteins. While for the PPs insensitive liposomes (e.g., cRGD functionalized liposomes), phagocytic rate could be directly used to calibrate inter-strain difference of liposome PK profiles. Our data also warn that the reciprocal interaction between payloads and organisms would be much more complicated than that between liposomes and organisms, thus independent investigation should be conducted for each individual therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Cationic nanoparticles have been shown to be surprisingly effective as cancer vaccine vehicles in preclinical and clinical studies. Cationic nanoparticles deliver tumor-associated antigens to dendritic cells and induce immune activation, resulting in strong antigen-specific cellular immune responses, as shown for a wide variety of vaccine candidates. In this review, we discuss the relation between the cationic nature of nanoparticles and the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Multiple types of lipid- and polymer-based cationic nanoparticulate cancer vaccines with various antigen types (e.g., mRNA, DNA, peptides and proteins) and adjuvants are described. Furthermore, we focus on the types of cationic nanoparticles used for T-cell induction, especially in the context of therapeutic cancer vaccination. We discuss different cationic nanoparticulate vaccines, molecular mechanisms of adjuvanticity and biodistribution profiles upon administration via different routes. Finally, we discuss the perspectives of cationic nanoparticulate vaccines for improving immunotherapy of cancer.

Abstract
Poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) and poly(DL-lactic acid) are widely used for the preparation of nanoparticles due to favorable characteristics for medical use like biodegradability and controllable degradation behavior. The contact with different media like human plasma or serum leads to the formation of a protein corona that determines the NP's in vivo processing. In this study, the impact of surface end group identity, matrix polymer hydrophobicity, molecular weight, and incubation medium on the protein corona composition was evaluated. Corona proteins were quantified using Bradford assay, separated by SDS-PAGE, and identified via LC-MS/MS. The acquired data revealed that surface end group identity had the most profound effect on corona composition in both quantitative and qualitative terms. Regarding matrix polymer hydrophobicity, adsorption profiles on NP systems with similar physicochemical characteristics resembled each other. The molecular weight of the matrix polymers proved to impact quantity, but not quality of corona bound proteins. The corona of plasma incubated NP showed adsorption of incubation medium-specific proteins but resembled those of serum incubated NP in terms of protein function, average mass and isoelectric point. Overall, the NP physicochemical properties proved to be easily adjustable determining factors of protein corona formation in physiological environments.

Abstract
Due to the blooming development of nanotechnology, the further understanding of nanomaterials-induced toxicity has been demanded. Following their introduction into a biological matrix, the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) is covered by protein layer, namely corona, which imparts a new biological identity to NPs. Here, we showed that fibrinogen (Fg), but not albumin (BSA) or hemoglobin (Hb), decoration on the surface of silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) ameliorate their pro-autophagic activity in non-phagocytic cells. Surprisingly, this effect of Fg was compromised in phagocytic cells. Further mechanistic investigation suggested coronal Fg has dual effects on the tuning of SiO2 NPs-induced autophagic response. First, Fg decoration blocks SiO2 NPs sedimentation through stabilize SiO2 NPs suspension; secondly, Fg coverage inhibits SiO2 NPs' cellular internalization. These findings provided important insights into the understanding of NPs-corona complexes behaviors and indicate future directions for the investigation of corona-mediated biological activities.

Abstract
High spatial resolution imaging analysis is urgently needed to explore the biodistribution, transfer and clearance profiles, and biological impact of nanoparticles in the body, which will be helpful to clarify the efficacy of nanomedicine in clinical applications. Herein, by combination with multiscale synchrotron-based imaging techniques, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and micro X-ray phase contrast computed tomography (micro-XPCT), we visually displayed the transfer patterns and site-specific distribution of PEGylated gold nanoparticles (PEG-GNPs) in the suborgans of the liver, spleen, and kidney after an intravenous injection in mice. A combination of XRF and FTIR imaging analysis showed that the PEG bands presented similar distribution patterns with Au in the intraorgans, suggesting the stability of PEGylation on GNPs. We show that the PEG-GNPs presented heterogeneous distribution in the hepatic lobules with a large amount around the portal vein zone and then a gradient decrease in the sinusoidal region and the CV zone; in the spleen, it gradually accumulated in the splenic red pulp over time; and in the kidney, it quickly transported via the bloodstream to the renal pyramids and renal pelvis, and parts of PEG-GNPs finally accumulated in the renal medulla and renal cortex. Multidimensional micro-XPCT images further show that the PEG-GNP transfer in the liver induced hepatic blood vessel dilatation while they transferred in the liver, providing evidence of GNP transport across the blood vessel endothelial barrier.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer is limited by tumor hypoxia. Platinum nanoparticles (nano-Pt) as a catalase-like nanoenzyme can enhance PDT through catalytic oxygen supply. However, the cytotoxic activity of nano-Pt is not comprehensively considered in the existing methods to exert their multifunctional antitumor effects. Here, nano-Pt are loaded into liposomes via reverse phase evaporation. The clinical photosensitizer verteporfin (VP) is loaded in the lipid bilayer to confer PDT activity. Murine macrophage cell membranes are hybridized into the liposomal membrane to confer biomimetic and targeting features. The resulting liposomal system, termed "nano-Pt/VP@MLipo," is investigated for chemophototherapy in vitro and in vivo in mouse tumor models. At the tumor site, oxygen produced by nano-Pt catalyzation improves the VP-mediated PDT, which in turn triggers the release of nano-Pt via membrane permeabilization. The ultrasmall 3-5 nm nano-Pt enables better penetration in tumors, which is also facilitated by the generated oxygen gas, for enhanced chemotherapy. Chemophototherapy with a single injection of nano-Pt/VP@MLipo and light irradiation inhibits the growth of aggressive 4T1 tumors and their lung metastasis, and prolongs animal survival without overt toxicity.

Abstract
Probing the interaction of nanomaterials (NMs) with proteins is the basic step for biological safety assessment. Many physiochemical factors of NMs play important roles in binding with proteins as they determine the binding process. Among them, the chirality-related biological effects and nanotoxicology have not been fully understood. As NMs are mainly exposed to human circulatory system with intentional or unintentional exposure, understanding the interaction mechanism of plasma functional proteins with chiral NMs is of great importance. Herein, we show the interaction of chiral gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), L- and D-cysteine coated AuNC (i.e., L-AuNC and D-AuNC, respectively) with human coagulation factor XII (FXII, an important plasma zymogen initiating the inner coagulation system). D-AuNC exhibited weak binding affinity for FXII, induced FXII aggregation due to significant conformational change, which then activated the FXII for further cleavage. In contrast to D-AuNC, the binding affinity of L-AuNC for FXII was strong and their bioconjugate was quite stable without aggregation. L-AuNC induced the structural change and autoactivation of FXII to a lower extent. Moreover, the enzymatic activity of FXIIa (the activated form of FXII) was influenced upon incubation with L- AuNCs and D-AuNCs with different molecular mechanisms. The finding will expand the understanding of the nanobiological effects of chiral NMs and suggest the potential application in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Polymer graftings (PGs) are widely employed in antifouling surfaces and drug delivery systems to regulate the interaction with a foreign environment. Through molecular dynamics simulations and scaling theory analysis, we investigate the physical antifouling properties of PGs via their collision behaviors. Compared with mushroom-like PGs with low grafting density, we find brush-like PGs with high grafting density could generate large deformation-induced entropic repulsive force during a collision, revealing a microscopic mechanism for the hop motions of polymer-grafted nanoparticles for drug delivery observed in experiment. In addition, the collision elasticity of PGs is found to decay with the collision velocity by a power law, i.e., a concise dynamic scaling despite the complex process involved, which is beyond expectation. These results elucidate the dynamic interacting mechanism of PGs, which are of immediate interest for a fundamental understanding of the antifouling performance of PGs and the rational design of PG-coated nanoparticles in nanomedicine for drug delivery.

Abstract
T cells play an important role in immunity and repair and are implicated in diseases, including blood cancers, viral infections, and inflammation, making them attractive targets for the treatment and prevention of diseases. Over recent years, the advent of nanomedicine has shown an increase in studies that use nanoparticles as carriers to deliver therapeutic cargo to T cells for ex vivo and in vivo applications. Nanoparticle-based delivery has several advantages, including the ability to load and protect a variety of drugs, control drug release, improve drug pharmacokinetics and biodistribution, and site- or cell-specific targeting. However, the delivery of nanoparticles to T cells remains a major technological challenge, which is primarily due to the nonphagocytic nature of T cells. In this review, we discuss the physiological barriers to effective T cell targeting and describe the different approaches used to deliver cargo-loaded nanoparticles to T cells for the treatment of disease such as T cell lymphoma and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In particular, engineering strategies that aim to improve nanoparticle internalization by T cells, including ligand-based targeting, will be highlighted. These nanoparticle engineering approaches are expected to inspire the development of effective nanomaterials that can target or manipulate the function of T cells for the treatment of T cell-related diseases.

Abstract
Unraveling the proteins interacting with nanoparticles (NPs) in biological fluids, such as blood, is pivotal to rationally design NPs for drug delivery. The protein corona (PrC), formed on the NP surface, represents an interface between biological components and NPs, dictating their pharmacokinetics and biodistribution. PrC composition depends on biological environments around NPs and on their intrinsic physicochemical properties. We generated different formulations of non-ionic surfactant/non-phospholipid vesicles, called niosomes (NIOs), using polysorbates which are biologically safe, cheap, non-toxic and scarcely immunogenic. PrC composition and relative protein abundance for all designed NIOs were evaluated ex vivo in human plasma (HP) by quantitative label-free proteomics. We studied the correlation of the relative protein abundance in the corona with cellular uptake of the PrC-NIOs in healthy and cancer human cell lines. Our results highlight the effects of polysorbates on nano-bio interactions to identify a protein pattern most properly aimed to drive the NIO targeting in vivo, and assess the best conditions of PrC-NIO NP uptake into the cells. This study dissected the biological identity in HP of polysorbate-NIOs, thus contributing to shorten their passage from preclinical to clinical studies and to lay the foundations for a personalized PrC.

Abstract
It remains challenging to precisely decipher the structural and functional characteristics of protein coronas. To overcome the drawbacks frequently occurring in the traditional separation methods, an anti-PEG single-chain variable fragment (PEG-scFv) based affinity chromatography (AfC) was developed to achieve precise and efficient separation of protein coronas on PEGylated liposomes (sLip). His-tagged PEG-scFv could readily capture sLip without affecting protein corona compositions, and separate sLip/protein complex from plasma protein aggregates and endogenous vesicles through the Ni-NTA column. AfC demonstrated 43-fold higher protein corona collecting efficiency than centrifugation, which was extremely crucial for separation of in vivo protein coronas due to the limitation of sample size. AfC evaded contamination by endogenous vesicles and protein aggregates occurring in centrifugation, and reserved the loosely bound proteins, providing an unprecedented approach to deeply decipher protein coronas. The scFv-based AfC also paves new avenues for the separation of protein coronas formed on other nanomedicines.

Abstract
The widespread biomedical applications of silver and gold nanoparticles (AgNPs and AuNPs, respectively) prompt the need for mechanistic evaluation of their interaction with biomolecules. In biological media, metallic NPs are known to transform by various pathways, especially in the presence of thiols. The interplay between metallic NPs and thiols may lead to unpredictable consequences for the health status of an organism. This study explored the potential events occurring during biotransformation, dissolution, and reformation of NPs in the thiol-rich biological media. The study employed a model system evaluating the interaction of cysteine with small-sized AgNPs and AuNPs. The interplay of cysteine on transformation and reformation pathways of these NPs was experimentally investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and supported by light scattering techniques and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As the main outcome, Ag- or Au-catalyzed oxidation of cysteine to cystine was found to occur through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Computational simulations confirmed this mechanism and the role of ROS in the oxidative dimerization of biothiol during NPs reformation. The obtained results represent valuable mechanistic data about the complex events during the transport of metallic NPs in thiol-rich biological systems that should be considered for the future biomedical applications of metal-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-mediated cancer drug delivery remains an inefficient process. The protein corona formed on nanoparticles (NPs) controls their biological identity and, if optimized, could enhance cancer cell uptake. In this study, a hyperbranched polyester polymer (HBPE) was synthesized from diethyl malonate and used to generate NPs that were subsequently coated with normal sera (NS) collected from mice. Cellular uptake of NS-treated HBPE-NPs was compared to PEGylated HBPE-NPs and was assessed using MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells as well as endothelial and monocytic cell lines. NS-treated HBPE-NPs were taken up by TNBC cells more efficiently than PEGylated HBPE-NPs, while evasion of monocyte uptake was comparable. NS coatings facilitated cancer cell uptake of HBPE-NPs, even after prior interaction of the particles with an endothelial layer. NS-treated HBPE-NPs were not inherently toxic, did not induce the migration of endothelial cells that could lead to angiogenesis, and could efficiently deliver cytotoxic doses of paclitaxel (taxol) to TNBC cells. These findings suggest that HBPE-NPs may adsorb select sera proteins that improve uptake by cancer cells, and such NPs could be used to advance the discovery of novel factors that improve the bioavailability and tissue distribution of drug-loaded polymeric NPs.

Abstract
Insulin therapy plays an essential role in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, frequent injections required to effectively control the glycemic levels lead to substantial inconvenience and low patient compliance. In order to improve insulin delivery, many efforts have been made, such as developing the nanoparticles (NPs)-based release systems and oral insulin. Although some improvements have been achieved, the ultimate results are still unsatisfying and none of insulin-loaded NPs systems have been approved for clinical use so far. Recently, nano‒protein interactions and protein corona formation have drawn much attention due to their negative influence on the in vivo fate of NPs systems. As the other side of a coin, such interactions can also be used for constructing advanced drug delivery systems. Herein, we aim to provide an insight into the advance and flaws of various NPs-based insulin delivery systems. Particularly, an interesting discussion on nano‒protein interactions and its potentials for developing novel insulin delivery systems is initiated. Insulin therapy plays essential roles in treating diabetes. Optimizing insulin delivery enhances insulin therapy. Nanoparticles are promising systems for delivery of insulin. Nano-protein interactions influence the delivery of nanoparticles. Nano-protein interactions can be used for advanced delivery of insulin.

Abstract
Colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention due to their unique physicochemical properties suitable for diagnosing and treating different human diseases. Nevertheless, the successful implementation of NPs in medicine demands a proper understanding of their interactions with the different proteins found in biological fluids. Once introduced into the body, NPs are covered by a protein corona (PC) that determines the biological behavior of the NPs. The formation of the PC can eventually favor the rapid clearance of the NPs from the body before fulfilling the desired objective or lead to increased cytotoxicity. The PC nature varies as a function of the different repulsive and attractive forces that govern the NP-protein interaction and their colloidal stability. This review focuses on the phenomenon of PC formation on NPs from a physicochemical perspective, aiming to provide a general overview of this critical process. Main issues related to NP toxicity and clearance from the body as a result of protein adsorption are covered, including the most promising strategies to control PC formation and, thereby, ensure the successful application of NPs in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-encapsulated copper sulfide nanocrystals (CuS NCs) were prepared by heating an alkaline solution containing copper ions and BSA without an additional sulfur source. At a high BSA concentration (0.8 mM), nanoassembly of the as-formed CuS NCs occurs to form BSA-CuS NCs as a result of the formation of BSA gel-like structures. In addition to their intrinsic photothermal properties, the BSA-CuS NCs possess rich surface vacancies and thus exhibit enzyme-like and photodynamic activities. Spontaneous generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) led to the in situ formation of copper peroxide (CPO) nanodots on the BSA-CuS NCs to catalyze singlet oxygen radical generation. The antimicrobial response was enhanced by >60-fold upon NIR laser irradiation, which was ascribed to the combined effect of the photodynamic and photothermal inactivation of bacteria. Furthermore, BSA-CuS NCs were transdermally administered onto a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected wound and eradicated >99% of bacteria in just 1 min under NIR illumination due to the additional peroxidase-like activity of BSA-CuS NCs, transforming H2O2 at the infection site into hydroxyl radicals and thus increasing the synergistic effect from photodynamic and photothermal treatment. The BSA-CuS NCs exhibited insignificant in vitro cytotoxicity and hemolysis and thus can serve as highly biocompatible bactericides in preclinical applications to effectively eradicate bacteria.

Abstract
When optimizing nanocarriers, structural motifs that are beneficial for the respective type of cargo need to be identified. Here, succinoyl tetraethylene pentamine (Stp)-based lipo-oligoaminoamides (OAAs) were optimized for the delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA). Structural variations comprised saturated fatty acids with chain lengths between C2 and C18 and terminal cysteines as units promoting nanoparticle stabilization, histidines for endosomal buffering, and disulfide building blocks for redox-sensitive release. Biophysical and tumor cell culture screening established clear-cut relationships between lipo-OAAs and characteristics of the formed pDNA complexes. Based on the optimized alternating Stp-histidine backbones, lipo-OAAs containing fatty acids with chain lengths around C6 to C10 displayed maximum gene transfer with around 500-fold higher gene expression than that of C18 lipo-OAA analogues. Promising lipo-OAAs, however, showed only moderate in vivo efficiency. In vitro testing in 90% full serum, revealing considerable inhibition of lytic and gene-transfer activity, was found as a new screening model predictive for intravenous applications in vivo.

Bioinspired protein corona strategy enhanced biocompatibility of Ag-Hybrid hollow Au nanoshells for surface-enhanced Raman scattering imaging and on-demand activation tumor-phototherapy. Biomaterials 2021; 271:120734.

Abstract
Silver-based hybrid nanoprobes for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging show their tremendous potential for precise biological detection and mediated phototherapy. However, the severe toxicity induced by Ag to normal mammalian cells hinders its further application. Herein, we presented a versatile bioinspired protein corona strategy through assembling bovine serum albumin (BSA) protected Raman tag DTTC-conjugated Ag-hybrid hollow Au nanoshells (hollow AgAu-DTTC-BSA), which their silver ion release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation are significantly suppressed, enabling no damage to normal cells and tissues, but can be reactivated on-demand under laser-irradiation at the tumor site. These nanoshells could also produce strong localized surface plasmon resonance for efficient-stable photothermal effect and enhanced SERS activity under laser irradiation, approved by both theoretical and experimental calculations. Furthermore, the biocompatible hollow AgAu-DTTC-BSA could detect both primary tumor tissues and tiny liver metastases (~0.18 mm) in orthotopic/subcutaneous CT26 colon tumor-bearing mice models. We also demonstrate their excellent therapeutic efficacy for colorectal solid neoplasms by accurate SERS imaging-guided photothermal therapy, simultaneously assisted with toxic Ag ion and ROS. These results suggest that hollow AgAu-DTTC-BSA is promising imaging assisted photothermal agents for solid tumor theranostics and enhancing the potential of Ag-based nanoparticles for practical treatment.

Abstract
The accurate determination of events at the interface between a biological system and nanomaterials is necessary for efficacy and safety evaluation of novel nano-enabled medical products. Investigating the interaction of proteins with nanoparticles (NPs) and the formation of protein corona on nanosurfaces is particularly challenging from the methodological point of view due to the multiparametric complexity of such interactions. This study demonstrated the application of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy as a low-cost and rapid biosensing technique that can be used in parallel with other sophisticated methods to monitor nano-bio interplay. Interaction of citrate-coated gold NPs (AuNPs) with human plasma proteins was selected as a case study to evaluate the applicability and value of scientific data acquired by LSPR as compared to fluorescence spectroscopy, which is one of the most used techniques to study NP interaction with biomolecules. LSPR results obtained for interaction of AuNPs with bovine serum albumin, glycosylated human transferrin, and non-glycosylated recombinant human transferrin correlated nicely with the adsorption constants obtained by fluorescence spectroscopy. This ability, complemented by its fast operation and reliability, makes the LSPR methodology an attractive option for the investigation of a nano-bio interface.

Abstract
Advances in nanotechnology have favored the development of novel colloidal formulations able to modulate the pharmacological and biopharmaceutical properties of drugs. The peculiar physico-chemical and technological properties of nanomaterial-based therapeutics have allowed for several successful applications in the treatment of cancer. The size, shape, charge and patterning of nanoscale therapeutic molecules are parameters that need to be investigated and modulated in order to promote and optimize cell and tissue interaction. In this review, the use of polymeric nanoparticles as drug delivery systems of anticancer compounds, their physico-chemical properties and their ability to be efficiently localized in specific tumor tissues have been described. The nanoencapsulation of antitumor active compounds in polymeric systems is a promising approach to improve the efficacy of various tumor treatments.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in physiological and pathological processes. Studies on the regulation of ROS for disease treatments have caused wide concern, mainly involving the topics in ROS-regulating therapy such as antioxidant therapy triggered by ROS scavengers and ROS-induced toxic therapy mediated by ROS-elevation agents. Benefiting from the remarkable advances of nanotechnology, a large number of nanomaterials with the ROS-regulating ability are developed to seek new and effective ROS-related nanotherapeutic modalities or nanomedicines. Although considerable achievements have been made in ROS-based nanomedicines for disease treatments, some fundamental but key questions such as the rational design principle for ROS-related nanomaterials are held in low regard. Here, the design principle can serve as the initial framework for scientists and technicians to design and optimize the ROS-regulating nanomedicines, thereby minimizing the gap of nanomedicines for biomedical application during the design stage. Herein, an overview of the current progress of ROS-associated nanomedicines in disease treatments is summarized. And then, by particularly addressing these known strategies in ROS-associated therapy, several fundamental and key principles for the design of ROS-associated nanomedicines are presented. Finally, future perspectives are also discussed in depth for the development of ROS-associated nanomedicines.

Abstract
Advances in material science have set the stage for nanoparticle-based research with potent applications for the diagnosis, bioimaging, and precise treatment of diseases. Despite the wide range of biomaterials developed, the rational design of biomaterials with predictable bioactivity and safety remains a critical challenge. In recent years, the field of cell-membrane-based therapeutics has emerged as a promising platform for addressing unmet medical needs. The utilization of natural cell membranes endows biomaterials with a remarkable ability to serve as biointerfaces that interact with the host environment. To improve the function and efficacy of cell-membrane-based therapeutics, a series of novel strategies is developed as cell-membrane-display nanotechnology, which utilizes various methods to selectively display therapeutic molecules of cell membranes on nanoparticles. Although cell-membrane-display nanotechnology remains in the early phases, considerable work is currently being conducted in the field. This review discusses details of innovative strategies for displaying cell-membrane molecules, including the following: 1) displaying molecules of cell membranes on biomaterials, 2) pretreating cell membranes to induce increased expression of inherent molecules of cell membranes and enhance their function, and 3) inserting additional functional molecules on cell membranes. For each area, the theoretical basis, application scenarios, and potential development are highlighted.

Abstract
Biomolecule-based nanostructures are inherently multifunctional and harbour diverse biological activities, which can be explored for cancer nanomedicine. The supramolecular properties of biomolecules can be precisely programmed for the design of smart drug delivery vehicles, enabling efficient transport in vivo, targeted drug delivery and combinatorial therapy within a single design. In this Review, we discuss biomolecule-based nanostructures, including polysaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides and proteins, and highlight their enormous design space for multifunctional nanomedicines. We identify key challenges in cancer nanomedicine that can be addressed by biomolecule-based nanostructures and survey the distinct biological activities, programmability and in vivo behaviour of biomolecule-based nanostructures. Finally, we discuss challenges in the rational design, characterization and fabrication of biomolecule-based nanostructures, and identify obstacles that need to be overcome to enable clinical translation.

Abstract
Demonstration of receptor-mediated targeting of nanoparticles to specific organs and/or cell types is an integral aim in many bionanomedicine development projects. However, engagement of targeted receptors with ligands on nanocarriers, which is the cornerstone of the active targeting concept, is challenging to study under biologically relevant conditions and thus often stays overlooked. In this work, we utilize an in-house established bioassay for in vitro targetability validation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), functionalized with high-affinity peptide ligands to somatostatin receptors via protective group chemistry, ensuring the correct orientation of the peptide's pharmacophore. We demonstrate that targeted nanoparticles, but not scrambled peptide-decorated counterparts, specifically engage the targeted receptors in living cells in culture media containing serum protein. The importance of being able to exclude false positives originating from the premature detachment of targeting peptides from the MSNs is highlighted.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is at a crossroads: with relatively few success stories in terms of clinical translation despite more and more research on increasingly sophisticated nanomaterials, it is important to consider whether we are on the right track. Indeed, it is crucial that we address the fact that while considerable efforts are being made to overcome barriers to translation from the bench to the clinic, scientists are still struggling to decipher fundamental aspects of nanomaterial interactions with biological systems. We believe that a key to the successful adoption of nanomedicines in oncology and beyond lies in a deeper understanding of underlying biological processes and in decoding interactions between engineered nanomaterials and biological systems. Here we provide an overview of progress in nanomedicine during the past 5 years.

Abstract
Hygiene assessment in industrial and clinical environments is crucial in the prevention of health risks. Current technologies for routine cleanliness evaluation rely on the detection of specific biomolecules, thus requiring more than one test for broad-range screening. Herein, the modulation of the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by biomacromolecules was employed to develop a nanoplasmonic platform for general hygiene screening. AuNPs were immobilized on cellulose paper by simple adsorption. When ferricyanide was dispensed onto the paper, the AuNPs catalysed the ferricyanide's dissociation, releasing free cyanide ions that dissolved them. The AuNP dissolution produced an intense colour shift detectable with the naked eye. When biomacromolecules (e.g., proteins and polysaccharides) were present, they spontaneously attached to AuNPs, forming a biomolecular corona (biocorona), reducing their catalytic activity until complete suppression when the NPs were fully covered by molecules. The concentration-dependent decrease in the catalytic activity was here used to quantify biomacromolecules and complex samples such as milk, eggs, soy sauce and yeast extract (in 20 min), with detection limits comparable to those of standard methods, i.e., 0.25 µg mL-1 for albumin. This nano-enabled technology may be applied as a broad-range (unspecific) alert system for inexpensive cleanliness evaluation, with potential applications in sensitive sectors including productive industries and hospitals.

Abstract
With the development of biomedicine and materials science, the emerging research of iron-based nanoplatforms (INPs) have provided a bright future for tumor theranostics. Thanks to its excellent biocompatibility and diverse application potential, some INPs have successfully transformed from the laboratory to the clinic and market, making it one of the most successful nanoplatforms. Further investigations associated with its enormous biomedical potential is continuing, and new features of them are being demonstrated. The discovery of ferroptosis therapy opens up new avenue for the applications of INPs in tumor therapy, which is attracting tremendous attention from worldwide. It is well established that some of the INPs are capable of triggering the tumor cell ferroptosis efficiently, accelerating the tumor cell death process. Combined with anti-tumor drugs or other tumor therapy approaches, the INPs-induced ferroptosis are expected to break the bottleneck in the treatment of drug-resistant malignant tumors. In addition, other applications of INPs in tumor theranostics field are still active. Featured with the catalase-like ability, INPs were also well documented to reverse the tumor hypoxia as nanozymes, assisting and enhancing the oxygen-consuming tumor therapy approaches. And the unique magnetic property of INPs endow it with great potential in tumor diagnosis, hyperthermal therapy and target drug delivery. It is of great significance to summarize these new advances. Herein, the latest reports of the applications of INPs in tumor theranostics are classified to expound the trend of its research and development. The featured functions of it will be discussed in detail to provide a new insight. The key issues needing to be addressed and the development prospective will be put forward. We hope that this review will be helpful to understand the ample potential of INPs in tumor theranostics field.

Abstract
The success of targeted drug delivery systems still requires a detailed understanding about the biological consequences of self-developed biomolecular coronas around them, since this is the surface that interacts with living cells. Herein, we report the behavior of carbohydrate-decorated amphiphilic nanoparticles in a plasma environment with regard to the formation and biological consequences of the protein corona. Naked amphiphilic nanoparticles were produced through the self-assembly of azido-PEO900-docosanoate molecules, and the coupling of N-acetylglucosamine via click chemistry enabled the fabrication of the corresponding bioactive glyco-nanostructures. Light scattering measurements, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the Pierce BCA protein assay all confirmed the presence of protein coronas around the self-assembled nanoparticles, regardless of the presence of the sugar residues, although it reduces the amount of adsorbed proteins. The protein coronas were formed mainly by human serum albumin, complement proteins, apolipoproteins, immunoglobulins, and proteins involved in the coagulation cascade (fibrinogen and prothrombin). While the presence of these protein coronas significantly reduced cellular uptake of the amphiphilic assemblies, they also notably reduced the cytotoxic and hemolytic effects that result from the contact of the nanoparticles with living cells. Accordingly, we highlight that protein coronas should not always be treated as artifacts that have to be avoided because they can also provide beneficial effects.
