Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) serve as versatile delivery systems for anticancer, antibacterial, and antioxidant agents. The manipulation of protein-NP interactions within biological systems is crucial to the application of NPs in drug delivery and cancer nanotherapeutics. The protein corona (PC) that forms on the surface of NPs is the interface between biomacromolecules and NPs and significantly influences their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Upon encountering proteins, NPs undergo surface alterations that facilitate their clearance from circulation by the mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS). PC behavior depends largely on the biological microenvironment and the physicochemical properties of the NPs. This review describes various strategies employed to engineer PC compositions on NP surfaces. The effects of NP characteristics such as size, shape, surface modification and protein precoating on PC performance were explored. In addition, this study addresses these challenges and guides the future directions of this evolving field.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared molecularly imprinted polymer nanogels with good affinity for the Fc domain of immunoglobulin G (IgG) using 4-(2-methacrylamidoethylaminomethyl) phenylboronic acid as a modifiable functional monomer for post-imprinting in-cavity modification of a fluorescent dye (F-Fc-MIP-NGs). A novel nanogel-based biotic/abiotic hybrid sandwich detection system for porcine serum albumin (PSA) was developed using F-Fc-MIP-NGs as an alternative to a secondary antibody for fluorescence detection and another molecularly imprinted polymer nanogel capable of recognizing PSA (PSA-MIP-NGs) as a capturing artificial antibody, along with a natural antibody toward PSA (Anti-PSA) that was used as a primary antibody. After incubation of PSA and Anti-PSA with F-Fc-MIP-NGs, the PSA/Anti-PSA/F-Fc-MIP-NGs complex was captured by immobilized PSA-MIP-NGs for fluorescence measurements. The analysis time was less than 30 min for detecting pork adulteration of 0.01 wt% in halal beef and lamb meats. The detection limit was comparable to that of frequently used immunoassays. Therefore, we believe that this method is a promising, sensitive, and rapid detection method for impurities in real samples and could be a simple, inexpensive, and rapid alternative to conventional methods that have cumbersome procedures of 4 hours or more.

Abstract
Simultaneous diagnostics and targeted therapy provide a theranostic approach, an instrument of personalized medicine-one of the most-promising trends in current medicine. Except for the appropriate drug used during the treatment, a strong focus is put on the development of effective drug carriers. Among the various materials applied in the production of drug carriers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are one of the candidates with great potential for use in theranostics. MIP properties such as chemical and thermal stability, together with capability to integrate with other materials are important in the case of diagnostics and therapy. Moreover, the MIP specificity, which is important for targeted drug delivery and bioimaging of particular cells, is a result of the preparation process, conducted in the presence of the template molecule, which often is the same as the target compound. This review focused on the application of MIPs in theranostics. As a an introduction, the current trends in theranostics are described prior to the characterization of the concept of molecular imprinting technology. Next, a detailed discussion of the construction strategies of MIPs for diagnostics and therapy according to targeting and theranostic approaches is provided. Finally, frontiers and future prospects are presented, stating the direction for further development of this class of materials.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has attracted increasing interest in various research fields for fabricating functional nanomaterials. In this study, we investigated the effect of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) addition on the formation and thermoresponsive properties of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-based nanogels in aqueous dispersion polymerizations. During dispersion polymerization, PVA appears to play three roles: (i) it bridges the generated polymer chains during polymerization, (ii) it stabilizes the formed polymer nanogels, and (iii) it regulates the thermoresponsive properties of the polymer nanogels. By regulating the bridging effect of PVA via changing the PVA concentration and chain length, the size of the obtained polymer gel particles was maintained in the nanometer range. Furthermore, we found that the clouding-point temperature increased when using low-molecular weight PVA. We believe that the knowledge gained in this study regarding the effect of PVA concentration and chain length on nanogel formation will aid in the future fabrication of functional polymer nanogels.

Abstract
The review aims to summarize recent reports of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and discuss their applications in biomedicine. In the past few decades, MIPs have been proven to show widespread applications as new molecular recognition materials. The development of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials has successfully endowed MIPs with not only affinity properties comparable to those of natural antibodies but also the ability to respond to external stimuli (stimuli-responsive MIPs). In this review, we will discuss the synthesis of MIPs, the classification of stimuli-responsive MIP nanomaterials (MIP-NMs), their dynamic mechanisms, and their applications in biomedicine, including bioanalysis and diagnosis, biological imaging, drug delivery, disease intervention, and others. This review mainly focuses on studies of smart MIP-NMs with biomedical perspectives after 2015. We believe that this review will be helpful for the further exploration of stimuli-responsive MIP-NMs and contribute to expanding their practical applications especially in biomedicine in the near future.

Abstract
Radiation therapy is a representative therapeutic approach for cancer treatment, wherein the development of efficient radiation sensitizers with low side effects is critical. In this study, a novel stealth radiation sensitizer based on Au-embedded molecularly imprinted polymer nanogels (Au MIP-NGs) was developed for low-dose X-ray radiation therapy. Surface plasmon resonance measurements reveal the good affinity and selectivity of the obtained Au MIP-NGs toward the target dysopsonic protein, human serum albumin. The protein recognition capability of the nanogels led to the formation of the albumin-rich protein corona in the plasma. The Au MIP-NGs acquire stealth capability in vivo through protein corona regulation using the intrinsic dysopsonic proteins. The injection of Au MIP-NGs improved the efficiency of the radiation therapy in mouse models of pancreatic cancer. The growth of the pancreatic tumor was inhibited even at low X-ray doses (2 Gy). The novel strategy reported in this study for the synthesis of stealth nanomaterials based on nanomaterial-protein interaction control shows significant potential for application even in other approaches for cancer treatment, diagnostics, and theranostics. This strategy paves a way for the development of a wide range of effective nanomedicines for cancer therapy.
