Abstract
Although a variety of nanoparticles (NPs) have been used for drug delivery applications, their surfaces are immediately covered by plasma protein corona upon systemic administration. As a result, the adsorbed proteins create a unique biological identity of the NPs that lead to unpredictable performance. The protein corona on NPs could also impede active targeting, induce off-target effects, trigger particle clearance and even provoke toxicity. This article reviews the fundamentals of NP–plasma protein interaction, the consequences of the interactions, and provides insights into the correlations of protein corona with biodistribution and cellular delivery. We hope that this review will trigger additional questions and possible solutions that lead to more favorable developments in NP-based targeted delivery systems.

Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used as an antifouling and stealth polymer in surface engineering and nanomedicine. However, recent research has revealed adverse effects of bioaccumulation and immunogenicity following the administration of PEG, prompting this proteomic examination of the plasma protein coronae association with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) grafted with brushed PEG (bPEG) and an alternative, brushed phosphorylcholine (bPC). Using label-free quantitation by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry, this study determines protein abundances for the in vitro hard coronae of bare, bPC-, and bPEG-grafted IONPs in human plasma. This study also shows unique protein compositions in the plasma coronae of each IONP, including enrichment of coagulation factors and immunogenic complement proteins with bPEG, and enhanced binding of apolipoproteins with bPC. Functional analysis reveals that plasma protein coronae elevate the horseradish peroxidase-like activities of the bPC- and bPEG-IONPs by approximately twofold, an effect likely mediated by the diverse composition and physicochemical properties of the polymers as well as their associated plasma proteins. Taken together, these observations support the rational design of stealth polymers based on a quantitative understanding of the interplay between IONPs and the plasma proteome, and should prove beneficial for the development of materials for nanomedicine, biosensing, and catalysis.

Abstract
Single-layer molybdenum disulfide (SLMoS2) is a novel kind of 2D nanosheet that has attracted great attention regarding its use in biosensors, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and therapy. However, our results demonstrated that SLMoS2 accelerated proliferation and promoted myogenic differentiation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELFs). The abnormal proliferation and differentiation of HELFs contribute to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Specifically, SLMoS2 significantly stimulated the expression of myofibroblast- and mesenchymal-associated genes and proteins. The Akt-mTOR-p70S6K signaling pathway plays a critical role in the acceleration of proliferation and promotion of myogenic differentiation and EMT in HELFs induced by SLMoS2. After cell uptake, SLMoS2 was primarily located in the cytoplasm and the perinuclear region and activated Akt-dependent signaling due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding markedly inhibited the cellular uptake of SLMoS2 and the production of intracellular ROS due to an increased thickness and reduced adhesion of HELFs. BSA binding also mitigated the SLMoS2-activated phosphorylation of Akt-dependent signaling pathways. This study is the first to illustrate the induction of cellular proliferation and differentiation by SLMoS2 and the related mediation by proteins through Akt-mTOR-p70S6K signaling pathway.

Abstract
Formation of the biocorona on the surface of nanoparticles is a significant obstacle for the development of safe and effective nanotechnologies, especially for nanoparticles with biomedical applications. Following introduction into a biological environment, nanoparticles are rapidly coated with biomolecules resulting in formation of the nanoparticle-biocorona. The addition of these biomolecules alters the nanoparticle's physicochemical characteristics, functionality, biodistribution, and toxicity. To synthesize effective nanotherapeutics and to more fully understand possible toxicity following human exposures, it is necessary to elucidate these interactions between the nanoparticle and the biological media resulting in biocorona formation. A thorough understanding of the mechanisms by which the addition of the biocorona governs nanoparticle-cell interactions is also required. Through elucidating the formation and the biological impact of the biocorona, the field of nanotechnology can reach its full potential. This understanding of the biocorona will ultimately allow for more effective laboratory screening of nanoparticles and enhanced biomedical applications. The importance of the nanoparticle-biocorona has been appreciated for a decade; however, there remain numerous future directions for research which are necessary for study. This perspectives article will summarize the unique challenges presented by the nanoparticle-biocorona and avenues of future needed investigation.

Abstract
In biological environments, the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) are modified by protein corona (PC) that determines their biological behavior. Unfortunately, in vitro tests still give different PC than in vivo tests causing in vitro-in vivo discrepancy; hence, in vitro studies are not indicative for the NPs' behavior in vivo. Here is demonstrated that PC in vitro is strongly influenced by the type of extracellular fluid (ECF), blood or lymph, by their high and low flow conditions and transitions between ECFs, and a combination of these parameters. As a result, this in vitro study approaches fluidic and dynamic variations to which NPs are exposed in vivo: different ECF that NPs encounter first in different injection routes, different transitions in-between ECFs during circulation, and simultaneous change in the exposed flow in these transitions. The most-abundant proteins in PCs are found to be not the most abundant in ECFs, but those having high affinity for binding to the surface of NPs. Moreover, some proteins are differently abundant in PCs at different flows, which indicate force-promoted binding, catch bonds. These results suggest that future in vitro studies should consider more complex incubation conditions to improve the in vitro-in vivo consistency necessary for translational research.

Abstract
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the most important cofactor of vitamin B₆-dependent enzymes, which catalyses a wide range of essential body functions (e.g., metabolism) that could be exploited to specifically target highly metabolic cells, such as tumour metastatic cells. However, the use of PLP as a simultaneous coating and targeting molecule, which at once provides colloidal stability and specific biological effects has not been exploited so far. Therefore, in this work iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were coated by PLP at two different pH values to tune PLP bonding (e.g., orientation) at the IONP surface. The surface study, as well as calculations, confirmed different PLP bonding to the IONP surface at these two pH values. Moreover, the obtained PLP-IONPs showed different zeta potential, hydrodynamic radius and agglomeration state, and consequently different uptake by two metastatic-prostate-cancer cell lines (LnCaP and PC3). In LnCaP cells, PLP modified the morphology of IONP-containing intracellular vesicles, while in PC3 cells PLP impacted the amount of IONPs taken up by cells. Moreover, PLP-IONPs displayed high magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) r₂ relaxivity and were not toxic for the two studied cell lines, rendering PLP promising for biomedical applications. We here report the use of PLP simultaneously as a coating and targeting molecule, directly bound to the IONP surface, with the additional high potential for MRI detection.

Abstract
The first phase of environmental health and safety of nanomaterials (nanoEHS) studies has been mainly focused on evidence-based investigations that probe the impact of nanoparticles, nanomaterials and nano-enabled products on biological and ecological systems. The integration of multiple disciplines, including colloidal science, nanomaterial science, chemistry, toxicology/immunology and environmental science, is necessary to understand the implications of nanotechnology for both human health and the environment. While strides have been made in connecting the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials with their hazard potential in tiered models, fundamental understanding of nano-biomolecular interactions and their implications for nanoEHS is largely absent from the literature. Research on nano-biomolecular interactions within the context of natural systems not only provides important clues for deciphering nanotoxicity and nanoparticle-induced pathology, but also presents vast new opportunities for screening beneficial material properties and designing greener products from bottom up. This review highlights new opportunities concerning nano-biomolecular interactions beyond the scope of toxicity.

Abstract
The surface properties of nanoparticles (NPs) are a major factor that influences how these nanomaterials interact with biological systems. Interactions between NPs and macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) can reduce the efficacy of NP diagnostics and therapeutics. Traditionally, to limit NP clearance by the RES system, the NP surface is neutralized with molecules like poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) which are known to resist protein adsorption and RES clearance. Unfortunately, PEG modification is not without drawbacks including difficulties with the synthesis and associations with immune reactions. To overcome some of these obstacles, we neutralized the NP surface by acetylation and compared this modification to PEGylation for RES clearance and tumor-specific targeting. We found that acetylation was comparable to PEGylation in reducing RES clearance. Additionally, we found that dendrimer acetylation did not impact folic acid (FA)-mediated targeting of tumor cells whereas PEG surface modification reduced the targeting ability of the NP. These results clarify the impact of different NP surface modifications on RES clearance and cell-specific targeting and provide insights into the design of more effective NPs.

Abstract
Interactions of functionalized nanomaterials with biological membranes are expected to be governed by not only nanoparticle physiochemical properties but also coatings or "coronas" of biomacromolecules acquired after immersion in biological fluids. Here we prepared a library of 4-5 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated with either ω-functionalized thiols or polyelectrolyte wrappings to examine the influence of surface functional groups on the assemblage of proteins complexing the nanoparticles and its subsequent impact on attachment to model biological membranes. We find that the initial nanoparticle surface coating has a cascading effect on interactions with model cell membranes by determining the assemblage of complexing proteins, which in turn influences subsequent interaction with model biological membranes. Each type of functionalized AuNP investigated formed complexes with a unique ensemble of serum proteins that depended on the initial surface coating of the nanoparticles. Formation of protein-nanoparticle complexes altered the electrokinetic, hydrodynamic, and plasmonic properties of the AuNPs. Complexation of the nanoparticles with proteins reduced the attachment of cationic AuNPs and promoted attachment of anionic AuNPs to supported lipid bilayers; this trend is observed with both lipid bilayers comprising 100% zwitterionic phospholipids and those incorporating anionic phosphatidylinositol. Complexation with serum proteins led to attachment of otherwise noninteracting oligo(ethylene glycol)-functionalized AuNPs to bilayers containing phosphatidylinositol. These results demonstrate the importance of considering both facets of the nano-bio interface: functional groups displayed on the nanoparticle surface and proteins complexing the nanoparticles influence interaction with biological membranes as does the molecular makeup of the membranes themselves.

Abstract
Research on nanoparticles has evolved into a major topic in chemistry. Concerning biomedical research, nanoparticles have decisively entered the field, creating the area of nanomedicine where nanoparticles are used for drug delivery, imaging, and tumor targeting. Besides these functions, scientists have addressed the specific ways in which nanoparticles interact with biomolecules, with proteins being the most prominent example. Depending on their size, shape, charge, and surface functionality, specifically designed nanoparticles can interact with proteins in a defined way. Proteins have typical dimensions of 5-20 nm. Ultrasmall nanoparticles (size about 1-2 nm) can address specific epitopes on the surface of a protein, for example, an active center of an enzyme. Medium-sized nanoparticles (size about 5 nm) can interact with proteins on a 1:1 basis. Large nanoparticles (above 20 nm) are big in comparison to many proteins and therefore are at the borderline to a two-dimensional surface onto which a protein will adsorb. This can still lead to irreversible structural changes in a protein and a subsequent loss of function. However, as most cells readily take up nanoparticles of almost any size, it is easily possible to use nanoparticles as transporters for proteins into a cell, for example, to address an internal receptor. Much work has been dedicated to this approach, but it is constrained by two processes that can only be observed in living cells or organisms. First, nanoparticles are usually taken up by endocytosis and are delivered into an intracellular endosome. After fusion with a lysosome, a degradation or denaturation of the protein cargo by the acidic environment or by proteases may occur before it can enter the cytoplasm. Second, nanoparticles are rapidly coated with proteins upon contact with biological media like blood. This so-called protein corona influences the contact with other proteins, cells, or tissue and may prevent the desired interaction. Essentially, these effects cannot be understood in purely chemical approaches but require biological environments and systems because the underlying processes are simply too complicated to be modeled in nonbiological systems. The area of nanoparticle-protein interactions strongly relies on different approaches: Synthetic chemistry is involved to prepare, stabilize, and functionalize nanoparticles. High-end analytical chemistry is required to understand the nature of a nanoparticle surface and the steps of its interaction with proteins. Concepts from supramolecular chemistry help to understand the complex noncovalent interactions between the surfaces of proteins and nanoparticles. Protein chemistry and biophysical chemistry are required to understand the behavior of a protein in contact with a nanoparticle. Finally, all chemical concepts must live up to the "biological reality", first in cell culture experiments in vitro and finally in animal or human experiments in vivo, to open new therapies in the 21st century. This interdisciplinary approach makes the field highly exciting but also highly demanding for chemists who, however, have to learn to understand the language of other areas.

Abstract
Graphene-based materials (GBMs) are emerging as attractive materials for biomedical applications. Understanding how these materials are perceived by and interact with the immune system is of fundamental importance. Phagocytosis is a major mechanism deployed by the immune system to remove pathogens, particles, and cellular debris. Here, we discuss recent studies on the interactions of GBMs with different phagocytic cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. The importance of assessing GBMs for endotoxin contamination is discussed as this may skew results. We also explore the role of the bio-corona for interactions of GBMs with immune cells.

Abstract
In the past few years, concerns of protein-gold nanoparticles (AuNP) interaction have been continuously growing in numerous potential biomedical applications. Despite the advances in tunable size, shape and excellent biocompatibility, unpredictable adverse effects related with protein corona (PC) have critically affected physiological to therapeutic responses. The complexity and uncontrollability of AuNP-PC formation limited the clinical applications of AuNP, e.g. AuNP-based drug delivery systems or imaging agent. Thus, even intensive attempts have been made for in vitro characterizations of PC around AuNP, the extrapolation of these data into in vivo PC responses still lags far behind. However, with accumulated knowledge of corona formation and the unique properties of AuNP, we are now encouraged to move forward to seeking positive exploitations. Herein, we summarize recent researches on interaction of protein and AuNP, aiming at provide a comprehensive understanding of such interaction associated with subsequent biomedical impacts. Importantly, the emerging trends in exploiting of potential applications and opportunities based on protein-AuNP interaction were discussed as well. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have shown great potentials in biomedical areas. However, its practical use is highly limited by protein corona, formed as a result of protein-AuNP interaction. This protein corona surrounding AuNPs is a new identity and the real substance that the organs and cells firstly encounter, and finally makes the behavior of AuNPs in vivo uncontrollable and unpredictable. Therefore, comprehensively understanding such interaction is of great significance for predicting the in vivo fate of AuNPs and for designing advanced AuNPs systems. In this review, we would provide a detailed description of protein-AuNP interaction and launch an interesting discussion on how to use such interaction for smart and controlled AuNPs delivery, which would be a topic of widespread interest.

Abstract
Controlling the interactions of functional nanostructures with water and biological media represents high challenges in the field of bioimaging applications. Large contrast at low doses, high colloidal stability in physiological conditions, the absence of cell cytotoxicity, and efficient cell internalization represent strong additional needs. To achieve such requirements, we report on high-payload magnetofluorescent architectures made of a shell of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles tightly anchored around fluorescent organic nanoparticles. Their external coating is simply modulated using anionic polyelectrolytes in a final step to provide efficient magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorescence imaging of live cells. Various structures of PEGylated polyelectrolytes have been synthesized and investigated, differing from their iron oxide complexing units (carboxylic vs phosphonic acid), their structure (block- or comblike), their hydrophobicity, and their fabrication process [conventional or reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-controlled radical polymerization] while keeping the central magnetofluorescent platforms the same. Combined photophysical, magnetic, NMRD, and structural investigations proved the superiority of RAFT polymer coatings containing carboxylate units and a hydrophobic tail to impart the magnetic nanoassemblies (NAs) with enhanced-MRI negative contrast, characterized by a high r2/r1 ratio and a transverse relaxation r2 equal to 21 and 125 s-1 mmol-1 L, respectively, at 60 MHz clinical frequency (∼1.5 T). Thanks to their dual modality, cell internalization of the NAs in mesothelioma cancer cells could be evidenced by both confocal fluorescence microscopy and magnetophoresis. A 72 h follow-up showed efficient uptake after 24 h with no notable cell mortality. These studies again pointed out the distinct behavior of RAFT polyelectrolyte-coated bimodal NAs that internalize at a slower rate with no adverse cytotoxicity. Extension to multicellular tumor cell spheroids that mimic solid tumors revealed the successful internalization of the NAs in the periphery cells, which provides efficient deep-imaging labels thanks to their induced T2* contrast, large emission Stokes shift, and bright dotlike signal, popping out of the strong spheroid autofluorescence.

Abstract
The beneficial effect of magnetic scaffolds on the improvement of cell proliferation has been well documented. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms about the magnetic scaffolds stimulating cell proliferation remain largely unknown. Once the scaffold enters into the biological fluids, a protein corona forms and directly influences the biological function of scaffold. This study aimed at investigating the formation of protein coronas on hydroxyapatite (HA) and magnetic hydroxyapatite (MHA) scaffolds in vitro and in vivo, and consequently its effect on regulating cell proliferation. The results demonstrated that magnetic nanoparticles (MNP)-infiltrated HA scaffolds altered the composition of protein coronas and ultimately contributed to increased concentration of proteins related to calcium ions, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), and MAPK/ERK cascades as compared with pristine HA scaffolds. Noticeably, the enriched functional proteins on MHA samples could efficiently activate of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, resulting in promoting MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation, as evidenced by the higher expression levels of the key proteins in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, including mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases1/2 (MEK1/2) and extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). Artificial down-regulation of MEK expression can significantly down-regulate the MAPK/ERK signaling and consequently suppress the cell proliferation on MHA samples. These findings not only provide a critical insight into the molecular mechanism underlying cellular proliferation on magnetic scaffolds, but also have important implications in the design of magnetic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
This study describes the use of DNA functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to enhance the synthesis of proteins in cell lysate and examines the mechanisms behind the enhanced mRNA translation. With an appropriate DNA oligomer sequence that hybridizes to the 3'-untranslated region of two mRNA of interest, insulin and green fluorescent protein (GFP), we found that these DNA conjugated AuNPs (AuNP-DNA) introduced into HeLa cell lysate enhanced the synthesis of insulin and GFP by up to 2.18 and 1.80-fold, respectively, over baseline production with just the mRNA present. The insulin synthesis was markedly reduced with non-DNA citrate-capped AuNP (1.25-fold) and AuNP-DNA with a nonspecific poly(T) sequence (1.25-fold). We showed that both nonspecific adsorption of ribosomes and translation factors to form a lysate protein corona on AuNP-DNA and weak hybridization between DNA oligomers and mRNA of interest were important factors that brought translation factors, ribosomes, and mRNA into close proximity of each other. This could reduce the recycling time of ribosomes during mRNA translation, thereby increasing the efficiency of protein synthesis. The outcome of this work shows that with rational DNA design, it could be possible to modulate intracellular biological processes with AuNP-DNA and increase their production of proteins for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this Perspective, we describe current challenges and recent advances in efficient delivery and targeting of nanoparticles in vivo. We discuss cancer therapy, nanoparticle-biomolecule interactions, nanoparticle trafficking in cells, and triggers and responses to nanoparticle-cell interactions. No matter which functionalization strategy to target cancer is chosen, passive or active targeting, more than 99% of the nanoparticles administered in vivo end up in the mononuclear phagocytic system, mainly sequestered by macrophages. Comprehensive studies, such as the one reported by MacParland et al. in this issue of ACS Nano, will help to close the gap between nanotechnology-based drug-delivery solutions and advanced medicinal products.

Abstract
We propose a novel method for determining the structural and thermodynamic properties of nanoparticle-protein complexes under physiological conditions. The method consists of collecting a full set of small-angle X-ray and neutron-scattering measurements in solutions with different concentrations of nanoparticles and protein. The nanoparticle-protein dissociation process is described in the framework of the Hill cooperative model, based on which the whole set of X-ray and neutron-scattering data is fitted simultaneously. This method is applied to water solutions of gold nanoparticles in the presence of human serum albumin without any previous manipulation and can be, in principle, extended to all systems. We demonstrate that the protein dissociation constant, the Hill coefficient, and the stoichiometry of the nanoparticle-protein complex are obtained with a high degree of confidence.

Abstract
It is now well understood that once in contact with biological fluids, nanoscale objects lose their original identity and acquire a new biological character, referred to as a protein corona. The protein corona changes many of the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles, including size, surface charge, and aggregation state. These changes, in turn, affect the biological fate of nanoparticles, including their pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and therapeutic efficacy. It is progressively being accepted that even slight variations in the composition of a protein source (e.g., plasma and serum) can substantially change the composition of the corona formed on the surface of the exact same nanoparticles. Recently it has been shown that the protein corona is strongly affected by the patient's specific disease. Therefore, the same nanomaterial incubated with plasma proteins of patients with different pathologies adsorb protein coronas with different compositions, giving rise to the concept of personalized protein corona. Herein, we review this concept along with recent advances on the topic, with a particular focus on clinical relevance.

Abstract
Magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (M-MSNs) represent promising targeting tools for theranostics. Engineering the interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with biological systems requires an understanding of protein corona formation around the nanoparticles as this drives the biological fate of nanocarriers. We investigated the behavior of proteins in contact with M-MSNs by high-throughput comparative proteomics, using human and bovine sera as biological fluids, in order to assess the adsorption dynamics of proteins in these media. Using system biology tools, and especially protein-protein interaction databases, we demonstrated how the protein network builds up within the corona over the course of the experiment. Based on these results, we introduce and discuss the role of the "corona interactome" as an important factor influencing protein corona evolution. The concept of the "corona interactome" is an original methodology which could be generalized to all NP candidates. Based on this, pre-coating nanocarriers with specific proteins presenting minimal interactions with opsonins might provide them with properties such as stealth.

Abstract
Infections caused by bacterial biofilms are an emerging threat to human health. Conventional antibiotic therapies are ineffective against biofilms due to poor penetration of the extracellular polymeric substance secreted by colonized bacteria coupled with the rapidly growing number of antibiotic-resistant strains. Essential oils are promising natural antimicrobial agents; however, poor solubility in biological conditions limits their applications against bacteria in both dispersed (planktonic) and biofilm settings. We report here an oil-in-water cross-linked polymeric nanocomposite (∼250 nm) incorporating carvacrol oil that penetrates and eradicates multidrug-resistant (MDR) biofilms. The therapeutic potential of these materials against challenging wound biofilm infections was demonstrated through specific killing of bacteria in a mammalian cell-biofilm coculture wound model.

Abstract
An impressive development has been achieved toward the production of well-defined "smart" inorganic nanoparticles, in which the physicochemical properties can be controlled and predicted to a high degree of accuracy. Nanoparticle design is indeed highly advanced, multimodal and multitargeting being the norm, yet we do not fully understand the obstacles that nanoparticles face when used in vivo. Increased cooperation between chemists and biochemists, immunologists and physicists, has allowed us to think outside the box, and we are slowly starting to understand the interactions that nanoparticles undergo under more realistic situations. Importantly, such an understanding involves awareness about the limitations when assessing the influence of such inorganic nanoparticles on biological entities and vice versa, as well as the development of new validation strategies.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of the protein corona on the function of nanoparticle (NP) antibody (Ab) conjugates in dipstick sandwich immunoassays. Ab specific for Zika virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) were conjugated to gold NPs, and another anti-NS1 Ab was immobilized onto the nitrocellulose membrane. Sandwich immunoassay formation was influenced by whether the strip was run in corona forming conditions, i.e., in human serum. Strips run in buffer or pure solutions of bovine serum albumin exhibited false positives, but those run in human serum did not. Serum pretreatment of the nitrocellulose also eliminated false positives. Corona formation around the NP-Ab in serum was faster than the immunoassay time scale. Langmuir binding analysis determined how the immobilized Ab affinity for the NP-Ab/NS1 was impacted by corona formation conditions, quantified as an effective dissociation constant, KDeff. Results show that corona formation mediates the specificity and sensitivity of the antibody-antigen interaction of Zika biomarkers in immunoassays, and plays a critical but beneficial role.

Abstract
To provide a molecular insight for guiding polymer coating in surface science and nanotechnology, here we examined the structures of brushed polyethylene glycol(bPEG)- and phosphorylcholine(bPC)-grafted iron oxide nanoparticles and analyzed their protein avoiding properties. We show bPC as an advantageous biomimetic alternative to PEG in rendering stealth nanostructures.

Abstract
With mounting evidence that nanomaterials can trigger adverse innate immune responses such as complement activation, there is increasing attention to the development of strategies that mask the complement-activating properties of nanomaterials. The current gold standard to reduce complement activation of nanomaterials is the covalent attachment of polymer coatings on nanomaterial surfaces, even though this strategy provides only moderate protection against complement activation. Akin to protein coronas that form on nanomaterial surfaces in physiological fluids, noncovalent strategies based on protein adsorption would offer a simplified, biomimetic approach to mitigate complement activation. Herein, we demonstrate that precoating graphene-based nanomaterials with purified, natural proteins enables regulatory control of nanomaterial-triggered complement activation. When the graphene-based nanomaterials were coated with complement factor H, nearly complete protection (>90% reduction) against complement activation (a "stealth effect") was achieved. By contrast, coating the nanomaterials with a passivating layer of bovine or human serum albumins achieved moderate protection (∼40% reduction), whereas immunoglobulin G amplified complement activation by several-fold. Taken together, our results demonstrate that surface-bound factor H, as well as serum albumins, can prevent graphene oxide-triggered complement activation, thereby offering a facile approach to inhibit complement activation completely down to naturally occurring levels.

Abstract
The atom-by-atom control provided by synthetic organic chemistry presents a means of generating new functional nanomaterials with great precision. Bringing together these two very disparate skill sets is, however, quite uncommon. This autobiographical review provides some insight into how my program evolved, as well as giving some idea of where we are going.
