Abstract
Immunotoxicity remains a major hindrance to chemotherapy in cancer therapy. Nanocarriers may alleviate the immunotoxicity, but the optimal design remains unclear. Here, we created two variants of maytansine (DM1)-loaded synthetic high-density lipoproteins (D-sHDL) with either physically entrapped (ED-sHDL) or chemically conjugated (CD-sHDL) DM1. We found that CD-sHDL showed less accumulation in the tumor draining lymph nodes (DLNs) and femur, resulting in a lower toxicity against myeloid cells than ED-sHDL via avoiding scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1)-mediated DM1 transportation into the granulocyte-monocyte progenitors and dendritic cells. Therefore, higher densities of lymphocytes in the tumors, DLNs, and blood were recorded in mice receiving CD-sHDL, leading to a better efficacy and immune memory of CD-sHDL against colon cancer. Furthermore, liposomes with conjugated DM1 (CD-Lipo) showed lower immunotoxicity than those with entrapped drug (ED-Lipo) through the same mechanism after apolipoprotein opsonization. Our findings highlight the critical role of drug loading patterns in dictating the biological fate and activity of nanomedicine.

Abstract
The distinct features of nanoparticles have provided a vast opportunity of developing new diagnosis and therapy strategies for miscellaneous diseases. Although a few nanomedicines are available in the market or in the translation stage, many important issues are still unsolved. When entering the body, nanomaterials will be quickly coated by proteins from their surroundings, forming a corona on their surface, the so-called protein corona. Studies have shown that the protein corona has many important biological implications, particularly at the in vivo level. For example, they can promote the immune system to rapidly clear these outer materials and prevent nanoparticles from playing their designed role in therapy. In this Perspective, the available techniques for characterizing protein-nanoparticle interactions are critically summarized. Effects of nanoparticle properties and environmental factors on protein corona formation, which can further regulate the in vivo fate of nanoparticles, are highlighted and discussed. Moreover, recent progress on the biomedical application of protein corona-engineered nanoparticles is introduced, and future directions for this important yet challenging research area are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
The rapid advancement of nanotechnology has opened up new avenues for applications in all stages of the food industry. Over the past decade, extensive research has emphasized that when nanoparticles (NPs) enter organisms, they spontaneously adsorbed biomolecules, leading to the formation of biocorona. This paper provided a detailed review of the process of biocorona formation in the food industry, including their classification and influencing factors. Additionally, various characterization methods to investigated the morphology and structure of biocoronas were introduced. As a real state of food industry nanoparticles in biological environments, the biocorona causes structural transformations of biomolecules bound to NPs, thus affecting their fate in the body. It can either promote or inhibit enzyme activity in the human environment, and may also positively or negatively affect the cellular uptake and toxicity of NPs. Since NPs present in the food industry will inevitably enter the human body, further investigations on biocoronas will offer valuable insights and perspectives on the safety of incorporating more NPs into the food industry.

Abstract
The interaction between lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and serum proteins, giving rise to a unique identification in the form of the protein corona, has been shown to be associated with novel recognition by cell receptors. The presence of the corona enveloping the nanoparticle strongly affects the interplay with immune cells. The immune responses mediated by protein corona can affect nanoparticle toxicity and targeting capabilities. But the intracellular signaling of LNPs after corona formation resulting in the change of nanoparticles' ability to provoke immune responses remains unclear. Therefore, a more systematic and delineated approach must be considered to present the correlation between corona complexes and the shift in nanoparticle immunogenicity. Here, we studied and reported the inhibiting effect of the absorbed proteins on the LNPs on the NLRP3 inflammasome activation, a key intracellular protein complex that modulates several inflammatory responses. Ionizable lipid as a component of LNP was observed to play an important role in modulating the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in serum-free conditions. However, in the presence of serum proteins, the corona layer on LNPs caused a significant reduction in the inflammasome activation. Reduction in the lysosomal rupture after treatment with corona-LNPs significantly reduced inflammasome activation. Furthermore, a strong reduction of cellular uptake in macrophages after the corona formation was observed. On inspecting the uptake mechanisms in macrophages using transport inhibitors, lipid formulation was found to play a critical role in determining the endocytic pathways for the LNPs in macrophages. This study highlights the need to critically analyze the protein interactions with nanomaterials and their concomitant adaptability with immune cells to evaluate nano-bio surfaces and successfully design nanomaterials for biological applications.

Abstract
Nanoplastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in soil environments. In order to objectively evaluate the toxic interaction between polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs) and benzo [a] pyrene (BaP), oxidative damage at the level of earthworm cells and biomacromolecules was investigated by experiments combined with molecular dynamics simulation. Studies on cells reveal that PS NPs and BaP had synergistic toxicity when it came to causing oxidative stress. Cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels under combined pollutant exposure were 24% and 19% higher, respectively than when PS NPs and BaP were exposed alone (compared to the blank group). In addition, BaP and PS NPs inhibited the ability of CAT to decompose H2O2 by affecting the structure of the proximal amino acid Tyr 357 in the active center of CAT, which exacerbated oxidative stress to a certain extent. Therefore, the synergistic toxic effect of BaP and PS NPs is due to the mutual complement of the two to the induction of protein structural looseness, and the strengthening of the stability of the conjugate (CAT-BaP-PS) under the weak interaction. This work provides a new perspective and approach on how to talk about the toxicity of combined pollutants.

Abstract
Cancer is still a leading cause of deaths worldwide, especially due to those cases diagnosed at late stages with metastases that are still considered untreatable and are managed in such a way that a lengthy chronic state is achieved. Nanotechnology has been acknowledged as one possible solution to improve existing cancer treatments, but also as an innovative approach to developing new therapeutic solutions that will lower systemic toxicity and increase targeted action on tumors and metastatic tumor cells. In particular, the nanoparticles studied in the context of cancer treatment include organic and inorganic particles whose role may often be expanded into diagnostic applications. Some of the best studied nanoparticles include metallic gold and silver nanoparticles, quantum dots, polymeric nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and graphene, with diverse mechanisms of action such as, for example, the increased induction of reactive oxygen species, increased cellular uptake and functionalization properties for improved targeted delivery. Recently, novel nanoparticles for improved cancer cell targeting also include nanobubbles, which have already demonstrated increased localization of anticancer molecules in tumor tissues. In this review, we will accordingly present and discuss state-of-the-art nanoparticles and nano-formulations for cancer treatment and limitations for their application in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Nowadays, nanodrugs become a hotspot in the high-end medical field. They have the ability to deliver drugs to reach their destination more effectively due to their unique properties and flexible functionalization. However, the fate of nanodrugs in vivo is not the same as those presented in vitro, which indeed influenced their therapeutic efficacy in vivo. When entering the biological organism, nanodrugs will first come into contact with biological fluids and then be covered by some biomacromolecules, especially proteins. The proteins adsorbed on the surface of nanodrugs are known as protein corona (PC), which causes the loss of prospective organ-targeting abilities. Fortunately, the reasonable utilization of PC may determine the organ-targeting efficiency of systemically administered nanodrugs based on the diverse expression of receptors on cells in different organs. In addition, the nanodrugs for local administration targeting diverse lesion sites will also form unique PC, which plays an important role in the therapeutic effect of nanodrugs. This article introduced the formation of PC on the surface of nanodrugs and summarized the recent studies about the roles of diversified proteins adsorbed on nanodrugs and relevant protein for organ-targeting receptor through different administration pathways, which may deepen our understanding of the role that PC played on organ-targeting and improve the therapeutic efficacy of nanodrugs to promote their clinical translation.

Abstract
In this work, a lateral flow assay for Listeria monocytogenes was developed based on phage tail fiber protein (TFP) and triple-functional nanozyme probes with capture-separation-catalytic activity. Inspired by interaction between phage and bacteria, TFP of L. monocytogenes phage was immobilized on test line as capture molecule, which replaced traditional antibody and aptamer. After Gram-positive bacteria was captured and separated from samples by nanozyme probes modified with vancomycin (Van), TFP specifically recognized L. monocytogenes and overcame non-specific binding of Van. Special color reaction between Coomassie Brilliant Blue and bovine serum albumin which was an amplification carrier on probe was simply utilized as control zone to replace traditional control line. Relying on enzyme-like catalytic activity of nanozyme, this biosensor realized improved sensitivity and colorimetric quantitative detection with a detection limit of 10 CFU mL-1. Analytic performance results suggested this TFP-based biosensor provided a portable, sensitive and specific strategy to detect pathogen.

Abstract
The protein corona spontaneously develops and evolves on the surface of nanoscale materials when they are exposed to biological environments, altering their physiochemical properties and affecting their subsequent interactions with biosystems. In this Review, we provide an overview of the current state of protein corona research in nanomedicine. We next discuss remaining challenges in the research methodology and characterization of the protein corona that slow the development of nanoparticle therapeutics and diagnostics, and we address how artificial intelligence can advance protein corona research as a complement to experimental research efforts. We then review emerging opportunities provided by the protein corona to address major issues in healthcare and environmental sciences. This Review details how mechanistic insights into nanoparticle protein corona formation can broadly address unmet clinical and environmental needs, as well as enhance the safety and efficacy of nanobiotechnology products.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP)-based therapeutics have ushered in a new era in translational medicine. However, despite the clinical success of NP technology, it is not well-understood how NPs fundamentally change in biological environments. When introduced into physiological fluids, NPs are coated by proteins, forming a protein corona (PC). The PC has the potential to endow NPs with a new identity and alter their bioactivity, stability, and destination. Additionally, the conformation of proteins is sensitive to their physical and chemical surroundings. Therefore, biological factors and protein-NP-interactions can induce changes in the conformation and orientation of proteins in vivo. Since the function of a protein is closely connected to its folded structure, slight differences in the surrounding environment as well as the surface characteristics of the NP materials may cause proteins to lose or gain a function. As a result, this can alter the downstream functionality of the NPs. This review introduces the main biological factors affecting the conformation of proteins associated with the PC. Then, four types of NPs with extensive utility in biomedical applications are described in greater detail, focusing on the conformation and orientation of adsorbed proteins. This is followed by a discussion on the instances in which the conformation of adsorbed proteins can be leveraged for therapeutic purposes, such as controlling protein conformation in assembled matrices in tissue, as well as controlling the PC conformation for modulating immune responses. The review concludes with a perspective on the remaining challenges and unexplored areas at the interface of PC and NP research.

Abstract
Complete recovery from infection, sepsis, injury, or trauma requires a vigorous response called inflammation. Inflammatory responses are essential in balancing tissue homeostasis to protect the tissue or resolve harmful stimuli and initiate the healing process. Identifying pathologically important inflammatory stimuli is important for a better understanding of the immune pathways, mechanisms of inflammatory diseases and organ dysfunctions, and inflammatory biomarkers and for developing therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases. Nanoparticles are an efficient medical tool for diagnosing, preventing, and treating various diseases due to their interactions with biological molecules. Nanoparticles are unique in diagnosis and therapy in that they do not affect the surroundings or show toxicity. Modern medicine has undergone further development with nanoscale materials providing advanced experimentation, clinical use, and applications. Nanoparticle use in imaging, drug delivery, and treatment is growing rapidly owing to their spectacular accuracy, bioavailability, and cellular permeability. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) play a significant role in nano therapy with several advantages such as easy synthesis, loading, controllability, bioavailability over various surfaces, functionalization, and biocompatibility. MSNs can be used as theranostics in immune-modulatory nano systems to diagnose and treat inflammatory diseases. The application of MSNs in the preparation of drug-delivery systems has been steadily increasing in recent decades. Several preclinical studies suggest that an MSN-mediated drug-delivery system could aid in treating inflammatory diseases. This review explains the role of nanoparticles in medicine, synthesis, and functional properties of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and their therapeutic role against various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery of therapeutic proteins has increased advantages over current small-molecule drugs and gene therapies, especially in therapeutic efficacies for a broad spectrum of diseases. Hence, developing the protein therapeutics approach provides a needed alternative. Here, we designed a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-mediated protein delivery approach and demonstrated effective intracellular delivery of the denatured superoxide dismutase (SOD) protein, overcoming the delivery challenges and achieving higher enzymatic activity than native SOD-conjugated MSNs. The denatured SOD-conjugated MSN delivery strategy provides benefits of reduced size and steric hindrance, increased protein flexibility without distorting its secondary structure, exposure of the cell-penetrating peptide transactivator of transcription for enhanced efficient delivery, and a change in the corona protein composition, enabling cytosolic delivery. After delivery, SOD displayed a specific activity around threefold higher than in our previous reports. Furthermore, the in vivo biosafety and therapeutic potential for neuron therapy were evaluated, demonstrating the biocompatibility and the effective antioxidant effect in Neuro-2a cells that protected neurite outgrowth from paraquat-induced reactive oxygen species attack. This study offers an opportunity to realize the druggable possibility of cytosolic proteins using MSNs.

Abstract
For systemically delivered nanoparticles to reach target tissues, they must first circulate long enough to reach the target and extravasate there. A challenge is that the particles end up engaging with serum proteins and undergo immune cell recognition and premature clearance. The serum protein binding, also known as protein corona formation, is difficult to prevent, even with artificial protection via "stealth" coating. Protein corona may be problematic as it can interfere with the interaction of targeting ligands with tissue-specific receptors and abrogate the so-called active targeting process, hence, the efficiency of drug delivery. However, recent studies show that serum protein binding to circulating nanoparticles may be actively exploited to enhance their downstream delivery. This review summarizes known issues of protein corona and traditional strategies to control the corona, such as avoiding or overriding its formation, as well as emerging efforts to enhance drug delivery to target organs via nanoparticles. It concludes with a discussion of prevailing challenges in exploiting protein corona for nanoparticle development.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), a novel noninvasive therapeutic modality, provides many noteworthy benefits by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, water-insoluble sonosensitizer delivery strategies have continuously underperformed because of unavoidable toxicity and a short circulation time. In this study, l-cystine derivative-based biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) that can be used in SDT and induce limited cytotoxicity are designed and synthesized. After ultrasonic (US) irradiation, these sonosensitizer-loaded NPs show highly efficient sonodynamic performance that leads to cytotoxic ROS production. The ability to stop and start ROS generation induced by US irradiation enables accurate temporal and spatial control. In vivo and in vitro experiments are systematically performed to investigate the effects of this system on tumors, and the results indicate remarkable tumor suppression via markedly high persistent oxidative stress that induces peroxidation and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Thus, this novel temporally and spatially controllable ROS generation platform offers a safe and effective theranostic strategy for prostate cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are versatile candidates for nanomedical applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, their clinical applicability is hindered by their undesirable recognition by the immune system and the consequent immunotoxicity, as well as their rapid clearance in vivo. After injection, NPs are usually covered with layers of proteins, called protein coronas (PCs), which alter their identity, biodistribution, half-life, and efficacy. Therefore, the characterization of the PC is for in predicting the fate of NPs in vivo. The aim of this review was to summarize the state of the art regarding the intrinsic factors closely related to the NP structure, and extrinsic factors that govern PC formation in vitro. In addition, well-known opsonins, including complement, immunoglobulins, fibrinogen, and dysopsonins, such as histidine-rich glycoprotein, apolipoproteins, and albumin, are described in relation to their role in NP detection by immune cells. Particular emphasis is placed on their role in mediating the interaction of NPs with innate and adaptive immune cells. Finally, strategies to reduce PC formation are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Purpose The protein corona surrounding nanoparticles has attracted considerable attention as it induces subsequent inflammatory responses. Although mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are commonly used in medicines, cosmetics, and packaging, the inflammatory effects of the MSN protein corona on the cutaneous system have not been investigated till date. Methods We examined the greater plasma protein adsorption on MSN leads to serious inflammatory reactions in Dermatophagoides farinae extract (DFE)-induced mouse atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin inflammation because of increased uptake by keratinocytes. Results We compare the AD lesions induced by MSN and colloidal (non-porous) silica nanoparticles (CSN), which exhibit different pore architectures but similar dimensions and surface chemistry. MSN-corona treatment of severe skin inflammation in a DFE-induced in vivo AD model greatly increases mouse ear epidermal thickness and infiltration of immune cells compared with the CSN-corona treatment. Moreover, MSN-corona significantly increase AD-specific immunoglobulins, serum histamine, and Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines in the ear and lymph nodes. MSN-corona induce more severe cutaneous inflammation than CSN by significantly decreasing claudin-1 expression. Conclusion This study demonstrates the novel impact of the MSN protein corona in inducing inflammatory responses through claudin-1 downregulation and suggests useful clinical guidelines for MSN application in cosmetics and drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has a great potential to revolutionize the landscape of medicine, but an inadequate understanding of the nanomaterial-biological (nano-bio) interface hampers its ultimate clinical translation. Surface attachment of biomolecules provides a new biological identity of nanoparticles that plays a crucial role in vivo as it can activate the immune system triggering inflammatory responses, clearance from the body, and cellular toxicity. In this review, we summarize and critically analyze progress in understanding the relationship between the biological identity of nanoparticles and immune system activation. Accordingly, we discuss the implications of biomolecular corona on nanotoxicity, immune safety, and biocompatibility. We also highlight a perspective on engineering the biological identity of nanoparticles for modulating immunological responses.

Abstract
Applications of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in many different areas have been gradually increasing owing to its unique physicochemical characteristics, demanding more understanding of their biological impacts. Herein, we assessed the toxicological effects of rGO in mammary epithelial cells. Because the as-synthesized rGO was dissolved in sodium cholate to maintain a stable aqueous dispersion, we hypothesize that changing the cholate concentration in the dispersion may alter the surface property of rGO and subsequently affect its cellular toxicity. Thus, four types of rGO were prepared and compared: rGO dispersed in 4 and 2 mg/mL sodium cholate, labeled as rGO and concentrated-rGO (c-rGO), respectively, and rGO and c-rGO coated with a protein corona through 1 h incubation in culture media, correspondingly named pro-rGO and pro-c-rGO. Notably, c-rGO and pro-c-rGO exhibited higher toxicity than rGO and pro-rGO and also caused higher reactive oxygen species production, more lipid membrane peroxidation, and more significant disruption of mitochondrial-based ATP synthesis. In all toxicological assessments, pro-c-rGO induced more severe adverse impacts than c-rGO. Further examination of the material surface, protein adsorption, and cellular uptake showed that the surface of c-rGO was coated with a lower content of surfactant and adsorbed more proteins, which may result in the higher cellular uptake observed with pro-c-rGO than pro-rGO. Several proteins involved in cellular redox mediation were also more enriched in pro-c-rGO. These results support the strong correlation between dispersant coating and corona formation and their subsequent cellular impacts. Future studies in this direction could reveal a deeper understanding of the correlation and the specific cellular pathways involved and help gain knowledge on how the toxicity of rGO could be modulated through surface modification, guiding the sustainable applications of rGO.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have demonstrated great promise as immunotherapies for applications ranging from cancer, autoimmunity, and infectious disease. Upon encountering biological fluids, NPs rapidly adsorb biomolecules, forming the "biomolecular corona" (BC), and the altered character of NPs due to their newly acquired biological identity can impact their in vivo fate. Recently, it has been shown that the NP-BC is person-specific, and even minute differences in the biomolecule composition can give rise to altered immune recognition, cellular interactions, pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution. Given the current rise in the development of NP-based therapeutics, it is of utmost importance to better understand how pre-existing conditions, that result in the formation of a personalized BC, can be leveraged to aid in the prediction of the therapeutic outcomes of NPs. In this minireview, we will discuss the formation of the BC, implications of the BC for NP-biological interactions, and its clinical importance in the context of immunomodulation and cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
The therapeutics based on nanoparticles (NPs) are considered as the promising strategy for tumor detection and treatment. However, one of the most challenges is the adsorption of biomolecules on NPs after their exposition to biological medium, leading unpredictable in vivo behaviors. The interactions caused by protein corona (PC) will influence the biological fate of NPs in either negative or positive ways, including (i) blood circulation, accumulation and penetration of NPs at targeting sites, and further cellular uptake in tumor targeting delivery; (ii) interactions between NPs and receptors on immune cells for immunotherapy. Besides, PC on NPs could be utilized as new biomarker in tumor diagnosis by identifying the minor change of protein concentration led by tumor growth and invasion in blood. Herein, the mechanisms of these PC-mediated effects will be introduced. Moreover, the recent advances about the strategies will be reviewed to reduce negative effects caused by PC and/or utilize positive effects of PC on tumor targeting, immunotherapy and diagnosis, aiming to provide a reasonable perspective to recognize PC with their applications.

Abstract
Exposure to engineered nanomaterials (ENM) poses a potential health risk to humans through long-term, repetitive low-dose exposures. Currently, this is not commonplace within in vitro lung cell cultures. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to consider the optimal exposure approach toward determining the stability, sensitivity and validity of using in vitro lung cell mono- and co-cultures to determine ENM hazard. A range of exposure scenarios were conducted with DQ12 (previously established as a positive particle control) (historic and re-activated), TiO2 (JRC NM-105) and BaSO4 (JRC NM-220) on both monocultures of A549 cells as well as co-cultures of A549 cells and differentiated THP-1 cells. Cell cultures were exposed to either a single, or a repeated exposure over 24, 48- or 72-hours at in vivo extrapolated concentrations of 0-5.2 µg/cm2, 0-6 µg/cm2 and 0-1µg/cm2. The focus of this study was the pro-inflammatory, cytotoxic and genotoxic response elicited by these ENMs. Exposure to DQ12 caused pro-inflammatory responses after 48 hours repeat exposures, as well as increases in micronucleus frequency. Neither TiO2 nor BaSO4 elicited a pro-inflammatory response at this time point. However, there was induction of IL-6 after 24 hours TiO2 exposure. In conclusion, it is important to consider the appropriateness of the positive control implemented, the cell culture model, the time of exposure as well as the type of exposure (bolus or fractionated) before establishing if an in vitro model is appropriate to determine the level of response to the specific ENM of interest.

Abstract
The bioconjugate of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) is investigated to explore the behavior of the tryptophan (Trp)-exciton coupling and corona formation. The pulse like nature of the coupled system between Trp of BSA and exciton of ZnO NRs has been observed after analysis of the optical parameters like refractive index, susceptibility, and optical dielectric constant. The time constant for tryptophan, exciton surface binding (t1 ) and reorganization (t2 ) are found to be (t1 ) 8min, 7min and (t2 ) 150 min, 114.5 min, respectively. The close proximity binding of BSA with ZnO NRs via tryptophan as well as exciton is responsible for bioconjugate formation. The aggregated structure of BSA is observed from small-angle X-ray scattering study in interaction with ZnO NRs. The change in secondary structure and tertiary deformation of the serum protein have been studied from FTIR and emission quenching analysis. The number of binding sites (n) signified to the enhancement of the cooperative binding. The binding has been found to be endothermic and favored by unfavorable positive enthalpy with a favorable entropy change from the result of the isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).

Abstract
The surfaces of pristine nanoparticles become rapidly coated by proteins in biological fluids, forming the so-called protein corona. The corona modifies key physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticle surfaces that modulate its biological and pharmacokinetic activity, biodistribution, and safety. In the two decades since the protein corona was identified, the importance of nanoparticles surface properties in regulating biological responses have been recognized. However, there is still a lack of clarity about the relationships between physiological conditions and corona composition over time, and how this controls biological activities/interactions. Here we review recent progress in characterizing the structure and composition of protein corona as a function of biological fluid and time. We summarize the influence of nanoparticle characteristics on protein corona composition and discuss the relevance of protein corona to the biological activity and fate of nanoparticles. The aim is to provide a critical summary of the key factors that affect protein corona formation (e.g. characteristics of nanoparticles and biological environment) and how the corona modulates biological activity, cellular uptake, biodistribution, and drug delivery. In addition to a discussion on the importance of the characterization of protein corona adsorbed on nanoparticle surfaces under conditions that mimic relevant physiological environment, we discuss the unresolved technical issues related to the characterization of nanoparticle-protein corona complexes during their journey in the body. Lastly, the paper offers a perspective on how the existing nanomaterial toxicity data obtained from in vitro studies should be reconsidered in the light of the presence of a protein corona, and how recent advances in fields, such as proteomics and machine learning can be integrated into the quantitative analysis of protein corona components.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a contagious virus that spreads exponentially across the world, resulting in serious viral pneumonia. Several companies and researchers have put their tremendous effort into developing novel vaccines or drugs for the complete eradication of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. Bionanotechnology plays a vital role in designing functionalized biocompatible nanoparticulate systems with higher antiviral capabilities. Thus, several nanocarriers have been explored in designing and delivering drugs and vaccines. This problem can be overcome with the intervention of biomaterials or bionanoparticles. The present review describes the comparative analysis of SARS infection and its associated etiological agents. This review also highlighted some nanoparticles that have been explored in the treatment of COVID-19. However, these carriers elicit several problems once they come in contact with biological systems. Often, the body’s immune system treats these nanocarriers as foreign particles and antigens. In contrast, some bionanoparticles are highlighted here with their potential application in SARS-CoV-2. However, bionanoparticles have demonstrated some drawbacks discussed here with the possible outcomes. The scope of bioinspired nanoparticles is also discussed in detail to explore the new era of research. It is highly essential for the effective delivery of these nanoparticles to the target site. For effective management of SARS-CoV-2, different delivery patterns are also discussed here.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials are a broad class of materials with the potential for breakthrough applications in many sectors of society not least in medicine. Consequently, safety assessment of nanomaterials and nano-enabled products with respect to human health and the environment is of key importance. To this end, the biological interactions of nanoscale materials must be understood. Here, the dual "identities" of nanomaterials, namely, the material-intrinsic properties or synthetic identity and the acquired, context-dependent properties or biological identity, are discussed in relation to nanomaterial interactions with the immune system, our main defense against foreign intrusion. Specifically, we address whether macrophages and other innate immune cells respond to the synthetic identity or the biological identity of nanomaterials, that is, the surface adsorbed proteins and/or other biomolecules known as the bio-corona, or both? This article is categorized under: Toxicology and Regulatory Issues in Nanomedicine > Toxicology of Nanomaterials.

Abstract
Proteins are known to play important roles in the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs), which are biological substitutes for conventionally used chemical capping and stabilizing agents. When a pristine nanoparticle comes in contact with a biological media or system, a bimolecular layer is formed on the surface of the nanoparticle and is primarily composed of proteins. The role of proteins in the biosynthesis and further uptake, translocation, and bio-recognition of nanoparticles is documented in the literature. But, a complete understanding has not been achieved concerning the mechanism for protein-mediated nanoparticle biosynthesis and the role proteins play in the interaction and recognition of nanoparticles, aiding its uptake and assimilation into the biological system. This review critically evaluates the knowledge and gaps in the protein-mediated biosynthesis of nanoparticles. In particular, we review the role of proteins in multiple facets of metallic nanoparticle biosynthesis, the interaction of proteins with metallic nanoparticles for recognition and interaction with cells, and the toxic potential of protein-nanoparticle complexes when presented to the cell.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding structural interactions between the active drug and conjugated nanoparticles is critical for optimizing intracellular drug transport and for increasing nano drug efficacy. In this regard, analyzing the conformational deformation of conjugated drugs surrounding nanoparticles is essential to understand the corresponding nanodrug efficacy. PURPOSE The objective of this study is to present an optimal synthesis method for efficient drug delivery through a clear structural analysis of nanodrugs according to the type of conjugation. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the structural variation of methotrexate (MTX) surrounding carbon nanotubes, depending on the type of conjugation style, such as covalent and non-covalent (PEGylation) bonds, was investigated. Specifically, covalent bonds of MTX surrounding CNTs induced greater structural deformation compared to non-covalent bonds (ie, PEGylated CNT). CONCLUSION Greater changes in the structural variations of MTX analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) significantly improved the anti-inflammatory drug efficacy of human fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS) via stable drug release in the extracellular environment and burst drug release under intracellular conditions.

Abstract
Background The intrinsic physicochemical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make them unique tools in nanotechnology. Their elemental composition, resilience, thermal properties, and surface reactivity make CNTs also of undisputed interest in biotechnology. In particular, their extraordinary ability to capture biomolecules on their surface makes them essential in this field. The proteins adsorbed on the CNTs create a biological coating that endows them the ability to interact with some cell receptors, penetrate membranes or interfere with cell biomechanics, thus behaving as an active bio-camouflage. But some of these proteins unfold, triggering an immune response that unpredictably changes the biological activity of CNTs. For this reason, the control of the biocorona is fundamental in the nanobiotechnology of CNTs. Results Using TEM and AFM here we demonstrate a significant increase in CNTs diameter after protein functionalization. A quantitative analysis using TGA revealed that between 20 and 60% of the mass of functionalized nanotubes corresponds to protein, with single-walled CNTs capturing the highest amounts. To qualitatively/quantitatively characterize these biocoatings, we studied the biochemical "landscape" of the proteins captured by the different nanotubes after functionalization under various conditions. This study revealed a significant variability of the proteins in the corona as a function of the type of nanotube, the functionalization temperature, or the time after exposure to serum. Remarkably, the functionalization of a single type of CNT with sera from various human donors also resulted in different protein landscapes. Given the unpredictable assortment of proteins captured by the corona and the biological implications of this biocoating, we finally designed a method to genetically engineer and produce proteins to functionalize nanotubes in a controlled and customizable way. Conclusions We demonstrate the high unpredictability of the spontaneous protein corona on CNTs and propose a versatile functionalization technique that prevents the binding of nonspecific proteins to the nanotube to improve the use of CNTs in biomedical applications.
