Machine Learning Enables Comprehensive Prediction of the Relative Protein Abundance of Multiple Proteins on the Protein Corona. RESEARCH (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 2024; 7:0487. [PMID: 39324017 PMCID: PMC11423712 DOI: 10.34133/research.0487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2024] [Revised: 09/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024]
Abstract
Understanding protein corona composition is essential for evaluating their potential applications in biomedicine. Relative protein abundance (RPA), accounting for the total proteins in the corona, is an important parameter for describing the protein corona. For the first time, we comprehensively predicted the RPA of multiple proteins on the protein corona. First, we used multiple machine learning algorithms to predict whether a protein adsorbs to a nanoparticle, which is dichotomous prediction. Then, we selected the top 3 performing machine learning algorithms in dichotomous prediction to predict the specific value of RPA, which is regression prediction. Meanwhile, we analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of different machine learning algorithms for RPA prediction through interpretable analysis. Finally, we mined important features about the RPA prediction, which provided effective suggestions for the preliminary design of protein corona. The service for the prediction of RPA is available at http://www.bioai-lab.com/PC_ML.

Abstract
Nanocapsules enable multicomponent encapsulation of therapeutic cargoes with high encapsulation content and efficiency, which is vital for cancer immunotherapy. In the past, chemical crosslinking is used to synthesize nanocapsules, which can impede the regulatory approval process. Therefore, a new class of protein nanocapsules is developed by eliminating the need for chemical crosslinking by utilizing protein denaturation through a process that is referred to as "baking at the droplet interface". Such protein nanocapsules with antigens incorporated in the shell and a combination of encapsulated drugs showed an enhancement in the immune response of cells.

Abstract
This review describes the formation of a protein corona (or its absence) on different classes of nanoparticles, its basic principles, and its consequences for nanomedicine. For this purpose, it describes general concepts to control (guide/minimize) the interaction between artificial nanoparticles and plasma proteins to reduce protein corona formation. Thereafter, methods for the qualitative or quantitative determination of protein corona formation are presented, as well as the properties of nanoparticle surfaces, which are relevant for protein corona prevention (or formation). Thereby especially the role of grafting density of hydrophilic polymers on the surface of the nanoparticle is discussed to prevent the formation of a protein corona. In this context also the potential of detergents (surfactants) for a temporary modification as well as grafting-to and grafting-from approaches for a permanent modification of the surface are discussed. The review concludes by highlighting several promising avenues. This includes (i) the use of nanoparticles without protein corona for active targeting, (ii) the use of synthetic nanoparticles without protein corona formation to address the immune system, (iii) the recollection of nanoparticles with a defined protein corona after in vivo application to sample the blood proteome and (iv) further concepts to reduce protein corona formation.

Predicting tissue distribution and tumor delivery of nanoparticles in mice using machine learning models. J Control Release 2024; 374:219-229.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) can be designed for targeted delivery in cancer nanomedicine, but the challenge is a low delivery efficiency (DE) to the tumor site. Understanding the impact of NPs' physicochemical properties on target tissue distribution and tumor DE can help improve the design of nanomedicines. Multiple machine learning and artificial intelligence models, including linear regression, support vector machine, random forest, gradient boosting, and deep neural networks (DNN), were trained and validated to predict tissue distribution and tumor delivery based on NPs' physicochemical properties and tumor therapeutic strategies with the dataset from Nano-Tumor Database. Compared to other machine learning models, the DNN model had superior predictions of DE to tumors and major tissues. The determination coefficients (R2) for the test datasets were 0.41, 0.42, 0.45, 0.79, 0.87, and 0.83 for DE in tumor, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney, respectively. All the R2 and root mean squared error (RMSE) results of the test datasets were similar to the 5-fold cross validation results. Feature importance analysis showed that the core material of NPs played an important role in output predictions among all physicochemical properties. Furthermore, multiple NP formulations with greater DE to the tumor were determined by the DNN model. To facilitate model applications, the final model was converted to a web dashboard. This model could serve as a high-throughput pre-screening tool to support the design of new and efficient nanomedicines with greater tumor DE and serve as an alternative tool to reduce, refine, and partially replace animal experimentation in cancer nanomedicine research.

Spiky tubular nanoparticles with low protein corona can realize efficient and non-destructive penetration through endothelial barrier. J Control Release 2024; 374:1-14.

Abstract
Upon intravascular applications, i.e., cancer treatment, nanoparticles (NPs) are required to deliver through blood circulation, sustain serum protein interactions, before they penetrate the blood vessels and reach targeted sites for payload drug release. For a delivery process as such, it is elusive and difficult to comprehend the morphological change of NP surface and evaluate associated effects on its targeted delivery. Herein, we used silica NPs with different surface modifications to demonstrate the morphological impact of NPs during the application of the NP-blood protein interaction, vascular endothelial cell penetration, subsequent targeted delivery and photodynamic therapy efficacy, and pursue high drug-load NPs with surface designs. Compared to solid and mesoporous NPs, we found the spiky tubular NPs reserved the NPs' antifouling properties (or shedding of "protein corona"), promoted better endothelial penetration and less destruction in vitro and in vivo. Such effects could be attributed to their spiky surface structures, which can limit the NP-protein interaction area and promote the NP-protein steric hindrance. Further in molecular simulations, we determined that the spiky tubular morphological modification on NPs enhanced the interaction free energy and lowered the amino acids number and the subsequent frequency in contacting with VE-cadherin of vascular endothelia. As a result, the spiky tubular NPs demonstrated its advantages in mitigating damages to VE-cadherin stability and endothelial cell integrity. Exploiting such spiky tubular surface modification, we can improve the NP delivery efficiency and prohibit the leakiness of vascular endothelia, helping address challenges faced by tumor migration in nanomedicine applications for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Engineering of catalytically active inorganic nanomaterials holds promising prospects for biomedicine. Catalytically active metal oxides show applications in enhancing wound healing but have also been employed to induce cell death in photodynamic or radiation therapy. Upon introduction into a biological system, nanomaterials are exposed to complex fluids, causing interaction and adsorption of ions and proteins. While protein corona formation on nanomaterials is acknowledged, its modulation of nanomaterial catalytic efficacy is less understood. In this study, proteomic analyses and nano-analytic methodologies quantify and characterize adsorbed proteins, correlating this protein layer with metal oxide catalytic activity in vitro and in vivo. The protein corona comprises up to 280 different proteins, constituting up to 38% by weight. Enhanced complement factors and other opsonins on nanocatalyst surfaces lead to their uptake into macrophages when applied topically, localizing >99% of the nanomaterials in tissue-resident macrophages. Initially, the formation of the protein corona significantly reduces the nanocatalysts' activity, but this activity can be partially recovered in endosomal conditions due to the proteolytic degradation of the corona. Overall, the research reveals the complex relationship between physisorbed proteins and the catalytic characteristics of specific metal oxide nanoparticles, providing design parameters for optimizing nanocatalysts in complex biological environments.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a highly lethal cardiovascular disease that currently lacks effective pharmacological treatment given the complex pathophysiology of the disease. Here, single-cell RNA-sequencing data from patients with AAA and a mouse model are analyzed, which reveals pivotal pathological changes, including the M1-like polarization of macrophages and the loss of contractile function in smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Both cell types express the integrin αvβ3, allowing for their dual targeting with a single rationally designed molecule. To this end, a biocompatible nanodrug, which is termed EVMS@R-HNC, that consists of the multifunctional drug everolimus (EVMS) encapsulated by the hepatitis B virus core protein modifies to contain the RGD sequence to specifically bind to integrin αvβ3 is designed. Both in vitro and in vivo results show that EVMS@R-HNC can target macrophages as well as SMCs. Upon binding of the nanodrug, the EVMS is released intracellularly where it exhibits multiple functions, including inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization, thereby suppressing the self-propagating inflammatory cascade and immune microenvironment imbalance, while preserving the normal contractile function of SMCs. Collectively, these results suggest that EVMS@R-HNC presents a highly promising therapeutic approach for the management of AAA.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials offer numerous benefits to society ranging from environmental remediation to biomedical applications such as drug or vaccine delivery as well as clean and cost-effective energy production and storage, and the promise of a more sustainable way of life. However, as nanomaterials of increasing sophistication enter the market, close attention to potential adverse effects on human health and the environment is needed. Here a critical perspective on nanotoxicological research is provided; the authors argue that it is time to leverage the knowledge regarding the biological interactions of nanomaterials to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the human health and environmental impacts of these materials. Moreover, it is posited that nanomaterials behave like biological entities and that they should be regulated as such.

ECO-ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH 2024; 3:137-144. [PMID: 38638169 PMCID: PMC11021833 DOI: 10.1016/j.eehl.2024.01.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
In vitro toxicological assessment helps explore key fractions of particulate matter (PM) in association with the toxic mechanism. Previous studies mainly discussed the toxicity effects of the water-soluble and organic-soluble fractions of PM. However, the toxicity of insoluble fractions is relatively poorly understood, and the adsorption of proteins is rarely considered. In this work, the formation of protein corona on the surface of insoluble particles during incubation in a culture medium was investigated. It was found that highly abundant proteins in fetal bovine serum were the main components of the protein corona. The adsorbed proteins increased the dispersion stability of insoluble particles. Meanwhile, the leaching concentrations of some metal elements (e.g., Cu, Zn, and Pb) from PM increased in the presence of proteins. The toxicity effects and potential mechanisms of the PM insoluble particle-protein corona complex on macrophage cells RAW264.7 were discussed. The results revealed that the PM insoluble particle-protein corona complex could influence the phagosome pathway in RAW264.7 cells. Thus, it promoted the intracellular reactive oxygen species generation and induced a greater degree of cell differentiation, significantly altering cell morphology. Consequently, this work sheds new light on the combination of insoluble particles and protein corona in terms of PM cytotoxicity assessment.

Abstract
Of all the numerous nanosized extracellular vesicles released by a cell, the endosomal-originated exosomes are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutics, owing to their inherent stability, low immunogenicity, and targeted delivery capabilities. This review critically evaluates the transformative potential of exosome-based modalities across pharmaceutical and precision medicine landscapes. Because of their precise targeted biomolecular cargo delivery, exosomes are posited as ideal candidates in drug delivery, enhancing regenerative medicine strategies, and advancing diagnostic technologies. Despite the significant market growth projections of exosome therapy, its utilization is encumbered by substantial scientific and regulatory challenges. These include the lack of universally accepted protocols for exosome isolation and the complexities associated with navigating the regulatory environment, particularly the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This review presents a comprehensive overview of current research trajectories aimed at addressing these impediments and discusses prospective advancements that could substantiate the clinical translation of exosomal therapies. By providing a comprehensive analysis of both the capabilities and hurdles inherent to exosome therapeutic applications, this article aims to inform and direct future research paradigms, thereby fostering the integration of exosomal systems into mainstream clinical practice.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are extremely important tools to overcome the limitations imposed by therapeutic agents and effectively overcome biological barriers. Smart designed/tuned nanostructures can be extremely effective for cancer treatment. The selection and design of nanostructures and the adjustment of size and surface properties are extremely important, especially for some precision treatments and drug delivery (DD). By designing specific methods, an important era can be opened in the biomedical field for personalized and precise treatment. Here, we focus on advances in the selection and design of nanostructures, as well as on how the structure and shape, size, charge, and surface properties of nanostructures in biological fluids (BFs) can be affected. We discussed the applications of specialized nanostructures in the therapy of head and neck cancer (HNC), which is a difficult and aggressive type of cancer to treat, to give an impetus for novel treatment approaches in this field. We also comprehensively touched on the shortcomings, current trends, and future perspectives when using nanostructures in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Understanding both the physicochemical and biological interactions of nanoparticles is mandatory for the biomedical application of nanomaterials. By binding proteins, nanoparticles acquire new surface identities in biological fluids, the protein corona. Various studies have revealed the dynamic structure and nano-bio interactions of the protein corona. The binding of proteins not only imparts new surface identities to nanoparticles in biological fluids but also significantly influences their bioactivity, stability, and targeting specificity. Interestingly, recent endeavors have been undertaken to harness the potential of the protein corona instead of evading its presence. Exploitation of this 'protein-nanoparticle alliance' has significant potential to change the field of nanomedicine. Here, we present a thorough examination of the latest research on protein corona, encompassing its formation, dynamics, recent developments, and diverse bioapplications. Furthermore, we also aim to explore the interactions at the nano-bio interface, paving the way for innovative strategies to advance the application potential of the protein corona. By addressing challenges and promises in controlling protein corona formation, this review provides insights into the evolving landscape of the 'protein-nanoparticle alliance' and highlights emerging.

Abstract
Exposure to different types of nanoparticles (NPs) results in their deposition in human bodies. While most studies have examined the cellular uptake of only one type of NP at a time, how the dynamics of NP uptake may change in the presence of other types of NPs remains unclear. We therefore investigated the interplay of two differently sized SiO2 NPs during their uptake by A549 human lung carcinoma cells. Both NPs contained a CdSeTe core, which was labeled with different Cd isotopes to differentiate between them. Our study showed that the uptake of one size of SiO2 NPs either increased or decreased with the concentration of the other size of SiO2 NPs. This variation in uptake was attributable to the concentration-dependent aggregation of SiO2 NPs, as determined by the amount of cell-excreted proteins adsorbed on the NP surface. Further, the effects of the protein corona on the attachment of SiO2 NPs to the cell surface and uptake competition between differently sized SiO2 NPs also played important roles. Cell-excreted proteins were then analyzed by proteomics. Overall, the complex interactions between coexisting NPs of different physicochemical properties and cell-excreted proteins should be considered during bio-applications and bio-safety evaluations of NPs.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) are having a huge impact in several domains, including the fabrication of medical devices (MDs). Hence, nanostructured MDs are becoming quite common; nevertheless, the associated risks must be carefully considered in order to demonstrate safety prior to their immission on the market. The biological effect of NMs requires the consideration of methodological issues since already established methods for, e.g., cytotoxicity can be subject to a loss of accuracy in the presence of certain NMs. The need for oversight of MDs containing NMs is reflected by the European Regulation 2017/745 on MDs, which states that MDs incorporating or consisting of NMs are in class III, at highest risk, unless the NM is encapsulated or bound in such a manner that the potential for its internal exposure is low or negligible (Rule 19). This study addresses the role of NMs in medical devices, highlighting the current applications and considering the regulatory requirements of such products.

Abstract
Plasma proteins are considered the most informative source of biomarkers for disease diagnosis and monitoring. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has been applied to identify biomarkers in plasma, but the complexity of the plasma proteome and the extremely large dynamic range of protein abundances in plasma make the clinical application of plasma proteomics highly challenging. We designed and synthesized zeolite-based nanoparticles to deplete high-abundance plasma proteins. The resulting novel plasma proteomic assay can measure approximately 3000 plasma proteins in a 45 min chromatographic gradient. Compared to those in neat and depleted plasma, the plasma proteins identified by our assay exhibited distinct biological profiles, as validated in several public datasets. A pilot investigation of the proteomic profile of a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cohort identified 15 promising protein features, highlighting the diagnostic value of the plasma proteome in distinguishing individuals with and without HCC. Furthermore, this assay can be easily integrated with all current downstream protein profiling methods and potentially extended to other biofluids. In conclusion, we established a robust and efficient plasma proteomic assay with unprecedented identification depth, paving the way for the translation of plasma proteomics into clinical applications.

Abstract
In order to reduce the side effects of traditional chemotherapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), a new drug delivery system has been developed in this work, based on exosomes that can host two drugs that act synergistically: farnesol (that stops the cell cycle) and paclitaxel (prevents microtubule system depolymerization). Firstly, exosomes were isolated from different cell cultures (from colorectal cancer and from fibroblast as example of normal cell line) by different methods and characterized by western blot, TEM and DLS, and results showed that they express classical protein markers such as CD9 and HSP-70 and they showed spherical morphology with sizes from 93 nm to 129 nm depending on the source. These exosomes were loaded with both drugs and its effect was studied in vitro. The efficacy was studied by comparing the viability of cell cultures with a colorectal cancer cell line (HCT-116) and a normal cell line (fibroblast HS-5). Results showed that exosomes present a specific effect with more reduction in cell viability in tumour cultures than healthy ones. In summary, exosomes are presented in this work as a promising strategy for colorectal cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have revolutionized medicine by enabling control over drugs' pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and biocompatibility. However, most nanotherapeutic batches are highly heterogeneous, meaning they comprise nanoparticles that vary in size, shape, charge, composition, and ligand functionalization. Similarly, individual nanotherapeutics often have heterogeneously distributed components, ligands, and charges. This review discusses nanotherapeutic heterogeneity's sources and effects on experimental readouts and therapeutic efficacy. Among other topics, it demonstrates that heterogeneity exists in nearly all nanotherapeutic types, examines how nanotherapeutic heterogeneity arises, and discusses how heterogeneity impacts nanomaterials' in vitro and in vivo behavior. How nanotherapeutic heterogeneity skews experimental readouts and complicates their optimization and clinical translation is also shown. Lastly, strategies for limiting nanotherapeutic heterogeneity are reviewed and recommendations for developing more reproducible and effective nanotherapeutics provided.

Abstract
Self-assembled polymer nanoparticles are promising antibacterials, with nonspherical morphologies of particular interest as recent work has demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity relative to their spherical counterparts. However, the reasons for this enhancement are currently unclear. We have performed a multifaceted analysis of the antibacterial mechanism of action of 1D nanofibers relative to nanospheres by the use of flow cytometry, high-resolution microscopy, and evaluations of the antibacterial activity of pristine and tetracycline-loaded nanoparticles. Low-length dispersity, fluorescent diblock copolymer nanofibers with a crystalline poly(fluorenetrimethylenecarbonate) (PFTMC) core (length = 104 and 472 nm, height = 7 nm, width = 10-13 nm) and a partially protonated poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) corona (length = 12 nm) were prepared via seeded growth living crystallization-driven self-assembly. Their behavior was compared to that of analogous nanospheres containing an amorphous PFTMC core (diameter of 12 nm). While all nanoparticles were uptaken into Escherichia coli W3110, crystalline-core nanofibers were observed to cause significant bacterial damage. Drug loading studies indicated that while all nanoparticle antibacterial activity was enhanced in combination with tetracycline, the enhancement was especially prominent when small nanoparticles (ca. 15-25 nm) were employed. Therefore, the identified differences in the mechanism of action and the demonstrated consequences for nanoparticle size and morphology control may be exploited for the future design of potent antibacterial agents for overcoming antibacterial resistance. This study also reinforces the requirement of morphological control over polymer nanoparticles for biomedical applications, as differences in activity are observed depending on their size, shape, and core-crystallinity.

Abstract
Plastic and microplastics, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS), are major contributors to environmental pollution. However, there is a growing recognition of the need to investigate a wider range of plastic polymers to fully understand the extent and impacts of plastic pollution. This study focuses on the comprehensive characterization of true-to-life nanoplastics (T2LNPs) derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyamide (PA) to enhance our understanding of environmental nanoplastics pollution. T2LNPs were produced through cryogenic mechanical fragmentation of everyday items made from these polymers. A solid methodological framework incorporating various characterization techniques was established. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to study the chemical composition and confirm the absence of chemical modifications possibly occurring during fragmentation. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to analyze the morphology of the T2LNPs. Additionally, AFM image analysis compared to dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements provided insights into the size distribution and the stability of the T2LNP suspensions. The results revealed the heterogeneity of T2LNPs derived from PET and PA, emphasizing the importance of studying different plastic compositions to comprehensively understand nanoplastics pollution. Lastly, the distinctive characteristics and morphology of T2LNPs were translated into the realm of biological interactions, offering initial insights into the influence of these disparities on the formation of the protein corona on the surface of T2LNPs. By proposing T2LNPs as test materials and establishing a comprehensive characterization approach, this study aims to bridge the knowledge gap regarding the behavior and toxicity of nanoplastics. Furthermore, it highlights the need for a reliable and transferable analytical package for nanoplastic characterization to facilitate future studies on the environmental impact of nanoplastics.

Abstract
The ability to fine-tune the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) of thermoresponsive nanoparticles is essential to their successful application in drug delivery. The rational design of these materials is limited by our understanding of the impact that nanoparticle-protein interactions have on their thermoresponsive behavior. In this work, we demonstrate how the formation of protein corona impacts the transition temperature values of acrylamide-based nanogels and their reversibility characteristics, in the presence of lysozyme, given its relevance for the ocular and intranasal administration route. Nanogels were synthesized with N-isopropylacrylamide or N-n-propylacrylamide as backbone monomers, methylenebis(acrylamide) (2.5-20 molar %) as a cross-linker, and functionalized with negatively charged monomers 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N-acryloyl-l-proline, or acrylic acid; characterization showed comparable particle diameter (c.a.10 nm), but formulation-dependent thermoresponsive properties, in the range 28-54 °C. Lysozyme was shown to form a complex with the negatively charged nanogels, lowering their VPTT values; the hydrophilic nature of the charged comonomer controlled the drop in VPTT upon complex formation, while matrix rigidity only had a small, yet significant effect. The cross-linker content was found to play a major role in determining the reversibility of the temperature-dependent transition of the complexes, with only 20 molar % cross-linked-nanogels displaying a fully reversible transition. These results demonstrate the importance of evaluating protein corona formation in the development of drug delivery systems based on thermoresponsive nanoparticles.

Abstract
Protein coronas separate from nanoparticles under intracellular acidic conditions however, competitive adsorption of multiple proteins and their protein network formation under different pH conditions have not yet been systematically studied at the atomic scale. Herein, we report all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of plasma proteins (human serum albumin and immunoglobulin gamma-1 chain C) adsorbed to 10 nm-sized carboxyl-terminated polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles at different protonation states that mimic extracellular and intracellular pH conditions of 7, 6-5, and 4.5. Binding free energies are calculated from umbrella sampling simulations, showing the significantly weakened binding between PS particles and proteins at the protonation state at pH 4.5, in agreement with experiments showing the separation of protein corona from nanoparticles at pH 4.5. Mixtures of multiple proteins and PS particles are also simulated, showing much less protein adsorption and protein cluster formation at the protonation state at pH 4.5 than that at higher pH values, which are further confirmed by calculating the diffusivities and hydrodynamic radii of individual proteins. In particular, electrostatic particle-protein and protein-protein interactions are significantly weakened by a combination of particle and protein protonation rather than by particle protonation alone, to an extent dependent on different proteins. These findings help explain the experimental observations regarding separation of protein corona from nanoparticles under intracellular acidic conditions at pH 4.5 but not at higher pH, supporting that acidification cannot be the only reason for this separation during the process of endosome maturation.

Abstract
In order to better understand the bioavailability and biocompatibility of polyphenol-assisted surface-modified bioengineered nanoparticles in nanomedicine applications, here, we address a series of photophysical experiments to quantify the binding affinity of serum albumin toward polyphenol-capped gold nanoparticles. For this, two different gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized via the green synthesis approach, where curcumin and turmeric extract act as reducing as well as capping agents. The size, surface charge, and surface plasmon bands of the AuNPs were highly affected by the adsorption of human serum albumin (HSA) during protein corona formation, which was investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS), ξ-potential, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. Fluorescence-based methods, absorbance, and SERS experiments were carried out to evaluate the binding aspects of AuNPs with HSA. We found that the AuNPs show moderate binding affinity toward HSA (Kb ∼ 104 M-1), irrespective of the capping agents on the surface. Hydrophobic association, along with some contribution of electrostatic interaction, played a key role in the binding process. The binding interaction was more toward the subdomain IIA region of HSA, as indicated by the competitive displacement studies using site-specific binders (warfarin and flufenamic acid). Because of the large surface curvature of small-sized AuNPs, the secondary structural conformations of HSA were slightly altered, as revealed by circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements. Additionally, the findings of the binding interactions were re-evaluated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies by determining the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF), radius of gyration (Rg), and changes in the binding energy of HSA upon complexation with AuNPs. To determine the tentative evidence for pharmacokinetic administration, these biocompatible AuNPs were applied to inhibit the amyloid fibril formation of HSA and monitored by using the thioflavin T (ThT) assay, ANS fluorescence assay, fluorescence microscopic imaging, and FESEM. AuNPs were found to show better resistance toward fibrillation of the adsorbed protein.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The process of protein corona changes has been widely believed to follow the Vroman effect, while protein structural change during the process is rarely reported, due to the lack of analytical methods. In-situ interpretation for protein structural change is critical to processes such as the recognition and transport of nanomaterials. EXPERIMENTS Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used to predict the deflection and twist of the protein tertiary structure. The structural changes of the surface protein corona during the interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with lipid bilayer were probed in situ and real-time by sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. FINDINGS The ring tertiary structure of the protein corona is altered from vertical to horizontal on particle surface, a process of the soft-to-hard structural transition, which is contributed by the hydrogen bonding force between the protein and water molecules. The negatively charged protein corona can induce the redistribution of interfacial charge, leading to a more stable hydrogen bond network of the interfacial water. Our findings suggest that the structural change from flexible to rigid is a crucial process in the soft-to-hard transition of the protein corona, which will be a beneficial supplement to the Vroman effect of protein adsorption.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which shed from solid tumor tissue into blood circulatory system, have attracted wide attention as a biomarker in the early diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Given their potential significance in clinics, many platforms have been developed to separate CTCs. However, the high-performance isolation of CTCs remains significant challenges including achieving the sensitivity and specificity necessary due to their extreme rarity and severe biofouling in blood, such as billions of background cells and various proteins. With the advancement of CTCs detection technologies in recent years, the highly efficient and highly specific detection platforms for CTCs have gradually been developed, resulting in improving CTC capture efficiency, purity and sensitivity. In this review, we systematically describe the current strategies with surface modifications by utilizing the antifouling property of polymer, peptide, protein and cell membrane for high-performance enrichment of CTCs. To wrap up, we discuss the substantial challenges facing by current technologies and the potential directions for future research and development.

Abstract
Nano drug delivery systems offer several benefits, including enhancing drug solubility, regulating drug release, prolonging drug circulation time, and minimized toxicity and side effects. However, upon entering the bloodstream, nanoparticles (NPs) encounter a complex biological environment and get absorbed by various biological components, primarily proteins, leading to the formation of a 'Protein Corona'. The formation of the protein corona is affected by the characteristics of NPs, the physiological environment, and experimental design, which in turn affects of the immunotoxicity, specific recognition, cell uptake, and drug release of NPs. To improve the abundance of a specific protein on NPs, researchers have explored pre-coating, modifying, or wrapping NPs with the cell membrane to reduce protein adsorption. This paper, we have reviewed studies of the protein corona in recent years, summarized the formation and detection methods of the protein corona, the effect of the protein corona composition on the fate of NPs, and the design of new drug delivery systems based on the optimization of protein corona to provide a reference for further study of the protein corona and a theoretical basis for the clinical transformation of NPs.

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 limitations inherent in conventional cancer treatment methods have stimulated recent efforts towards the design of safe nanomedicines with high efficacy for combating cancer through various promising approaches. A plethora of nanoparticles has been introduced in the development of cancer nanomedicines. Among them, different lipid nanoparticles are attractive for use due to numerous advantages and unique opportunities, including biocompatibility and targeted drug delivery. However, a comprehensive understanding of nano-bio interactions is imperative to facilitate the translation of recent advancements in the development of cancer nanomedicines into clinical practice. In this contribution, we focus on lipoprotein-mimicking nanoparticles, which possess unique features and compositions facilitating drug transport through receptor binding mechanisms. Additionally, we describe potential applications of siRNA lipid nanoparticles in the future design of anticancer nanomedicines. Thus, this review highlights recent progress, challenges, and opportunities of lipid-based lipoprotein-mimicking nanoparticles and siRNA nanocarriers designed for the targeted delivery of anticancer therapeutic agents.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2901.

Abstract
When nanoparticles are introduced into the bloodstream, plasma proteins accumulate at their surface, forming a protein corona. This corona affects the properties of intravenously administered nanomedicines. The firmly bound layer of plasma proteins in direct contact with the nanomaterial is called the "hard corona". There is also a "soft corona" of loosely associated proteins. While the hard corona has been extensively studied, the soft corona is less understood due to its inaccessibility to analytical techniques. Our study used dynamic light scattering to determine the dissociation constant and thickness of the protein corona formed in solutions of silica or gold nanoparticles mixed with serum albumin, transferrin or prothrombin. Multivariate analysis showed that the nanoparticle material had a greater impact on binding properties than the protein type. Serum albumin had a distinct binding pattern compared to the other proteins tested. This pilot study provides a blueprint for future investigations into the complexity of the soft protein corona, which is key to developing nanomedicines.

Abstract
The formation of a protein corona, where proteins spontaneously adhere to the surface of nanomaterials in biological environments, leads to changes in their physicochemical properties and subsequently affects their intended biomedical functionalities. Most current methods to study protein corona formation are ensemble-averaging and either require fluorescent labeling, washing steps, or are only applicable to specific types of particles. Here we introduce real-time all-optical nanoparticle analysis by scattering microscopy (RONAS) to track the formation of protein corona in full serum, at the single-particle level, without any labeling. RONAS uses optical scattering microscopy and enables real-time and in situ tracking of protein adsorption on metallic and dielectric nanoparticles with different geometries directly in blood serum. We analyzed the adsorbed protein mass, the affinity, and the kinetics of the protein adsorption at the single particle level. While there is a high degree of heterogeneity from particle to particle, the predominant factor in protein adsorption is surface chemistry rather than the underlying nanoparticle material or size. RONAS offers an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms related to protein coronas and, thus, enables the development of strategies to engineer efficient bionanomaterials.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible growth arrest with profound phenotypic changes, including the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescent cell accumulation contributes to aging and many pathologies including chronic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and neurodegeneration. Targeted removal of senescent cells in preclinical models promotes health and longevity, suggesting that the selective elimination of senescent cells is a promising therapeutic approach for mitigating a myriad of age-related pathologies in humans. However, moving senescence-targeting drugs (senotherapeutics) into the clinic will require therapeutic targets and biomarkers, fueled by an improved understanding of the complex and dynamic biology of senescent cell populations and their molecular profiles, as well as the mechanisms underlying the emergence and maintenance of senescence cells and the SASP. Advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomic technologies and workflows have the potential to address these needs. Here, we review the state of translational senescence research and how proteomic approaches have added to our knowledge of senescence biology to date. Further, we lay out a roadmap from fundamental biological discovery to the clinical translation of senotherapeutic approaches through the development and application of emerging proteomic technologies, including targeted and untargeted proteomic approaches, bottom-up and top-down methods, stability proteomics, and surfaceomics. These technologies are integral for probing the cellular composition and dynamics of senescent cells and, ultimately, the development of senotype-specific biomarkers and senotherapeutics (senolytics and senomorphics). This review aims to highlight emerging areas and applications of proteomics that will aid in exploring new senescent cell biology and the future translation of senotherapeutics.

Abstract
19 F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful molecular imaging technique that enables high-resolution imaging of deep tissues without background signal interference. However, the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as 19 F MRI probes has been limited by the immediate trapping and accumulation of stiff NPs, typically of around 100 nm in size, in the mononuclear phagocyte system, particularly in the liver. To address this issue, elastic nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for improving delivery efficacy in vivo. Nevertheless, the impact of elasticity on NP elimination has remained unclear due to the lack of suitable probes for real-time and long-term monitoring. In this study, we present the development of perfluorocarbon-encapsulated polymer NPs as a novel 19 F MRI contrast agent, with the aim of suppressing long-term accumulation. The polymer NPs have high elasticity and exhibit robust sensitivity in 19 F MRI imaging. Importantly, our 19 F MRI data demonstrate a gradual decline in the signal intensity of the polymer NPs after administration, which contrasts starkly with the behavior observed for stiff silica NPs. This innovative polymer-coated NP system represents a groundbreaking nanomaterial that successfully overcomes the challenges associated with long-term accumulation, while enabling tracking of biodistribution over extended periods.

Abstract
The parameters currently used for characterization of nanoparticles, such as size and zeta potential, were not able to reflect the performance of a nanocarrier in the biological environment. Therefore, more thorough in vitro characterization is required to predict their behavior in vivo, where nanoparticles acquire a new biological identity due to interactions with biomolecules. In this present study, we performed in vitro characterization in biological fluids for lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) with varying means sizes (50 nm and 100 nm), different electrical surface charges and different Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) compositions. Then, different methods were applied to show the impact of the protein corona formation on LNCs. Even if all formulations attached to plasmatic proteins, a higher thickness of corona and highest protein binding was observed for certain LNC50 formulations. A better knowledge of the phenomenon of protein adsorption over NPs in the plasmatic media is a cornerstone of clinical translation. In fact, after short blood circulation time, it is not the initially designed nanoparticle but the complex nanoparticle bearing its protein corona which circulates to reach its target.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is the gold standard used to reduce unspecific protein adsorption and prolong nanocarrier circulation time. However, this stealth effect could be counteracted by the increasing prevalence of anti-PEG antibodies in the bloodstream. Up to now, the presence of anti-PEG antibodies in the protein corona and their effect on cell uptake has not been investigated yet. Our results showed a high concentration and prevalence of anti-PEG antibodies in the German population. PEGylated nanocarriers exhibited a higher level of anti-PEG antibodies in the protein corona compared to non-PEGylated, which lead to higher uptake in macrophages. Consequently, the anti-PEG antibodies in the protein corona could mitigate the stealth effect of PEG, leading to accelerated blood clearance and unwanted side effects.

Abstract
Protein coronas are present extensively at the bio-nano interface due to the natural adsorption of proteins onto nanomaterials in biological fluids. Aside from the robust property of nanoparticles, the dynamics of the protein corona shell largely define their chemical identity by altering interface properties. However, the soft coronas are normally complex and rapidly changing. To real-time monitor the entire formation, we report here a self-regulated electrochemiluminescence (ECL) microscopy based on the interaction of the Ru(bpy)3 3+ with the nanoparticle surface. Thus, the heterogeneity of the protein corona is in situ observed in single nanoparticle "cores" before and after loading drugs in nanomedicine carriers. The label-free, optical stable and dynamic ECL microscopy minimize misinterpretations caused by the variation of nanoparticle size and polydispersity. Accordingly, the synergetic actions of proteins and nanoparticles properties are uncovered by chemically engineered protein corona. After comparing the protein corona formation kinetics in different complex systems and different nanomedicine carriers, the universality and accuracy of this technique were well demonstrated via the protein corona formation kinetics curves regulated by competitive adsorption of Ru(bpy)3 3+ and multiple proteins on surface of various carriers. The work is of great significance for studying bio-nano interface in drug delivery and targeted cancer treatment.

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
This study investigates the influence of microplastics on blood clotting. It addresses the lack of comprehensive research on the effects of microplastic size and surface modification on clotting dynamics in human whole blood. Thromboelastography was used to examine aminated (aPS), carboxylated (cPS), and non-functionalized (nPS) polystyrene particles with sizes of 50, 100, and 500 nm. Results show that cPS consistently activated the clotting cascade, demonstrating increased fibrin polymerization rates, and enhanced clot strength in a size and concentration-dependent manner. nPS had minimal effects on clotting dynamics except for 50 nm particles at the lowest concentration. The clotting effects of aPS (100 nm particles) resembled those of cPS but were diminished in the 500 nm aPS group. These findings emphasize the importance of microplastic surface modification, size, concentration, and surface area on in-vitro whole blood clotting dynamics.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have attracted increasing attention for their health effects due to the increased risk of exposure to human bodies via diverse routes. Considering that SiNPs enter the circulatory system and inevitably encounter red blood cells (RBCs), it is necessary to investigate their risk of causing erythrocytotoxicity. In this study, three sizes of SiNPs (SiNP-60, SiNP-120, and SiNP-200) were tested for their effects on mouse RBCs. The results showed that SiNPs could induce hemolysis, morphological changes, and phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure in RBCs in a particulate size-related manner. Further investigations on the underlying mechanism indicated that SiNP-60 exposure increased intracellular reactive oxidative species (ROS) generation and subsequently caused the phosphorylation of p38 and ERK1/2 in RBCs. The addition of antioxidants or inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling significantly attenuated PS exposure in RBCs and ameliorated SiNP-induced erythrocytotoxicity. Moreover, ex vivo assays using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) showed that SiNP-60-induced PS exposure in RBCs could trigger thrombin-dependent platelet activation. The contrary evidence from the assays of PS blockage and thrombin inhibition further confirmed that SiNP-60-induced platelet activation was dependent on PS externalization in RBCs, concomitantly with thrombin formation. These findings revealed the procoagulant and prothrombotic effects of SiNPs through the regulation of PS externalization in RBCs, and may be of great help in bridging the knowledge gap on the potential cardiovascular hazards of particulate silica from both artificial and naturally occurring origins.

Abstract
Under physiological conditions, nanoparticles (NPs) inevitably interact with proteins, resulting in extensive protein adsorption and the formation of a protein corona. Recent studies have shown that the different surface properties of NPs lead to varying degrees of conformational changes of adsorbed proteins. However, the impact of corona protein conformation on the in vitro and in vivo profiles of NPs remain largely unexplored. Herein, d-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate-based NPs with natural human serum albumin (HSAN) corona or thermally denatured HSA (HSAD) corona were synthesized following a previously established method. We then conducted a systematic study of the protein conformation as well as adsorption behaviors. Additionally, the impact of protein corona conformation on the NPs profiles in vitro and in vivo were elucidated to gain insight into its biological behaviors as a targeted delivery system for renal tubule diseases. Overall, NPs modified by HSAN corona showed improved serum stability, greater cell uptake efficiency, better renal tubular targetability, and therapeutic efficacy on acute kidney injury in rats than NPs modified by HSAD corona. Hence, the conformation of protein adsorbed on the surface of NPs may impact the in vitro and in vivo profiles of NPs.

Abstract
The aggregation and subsequent precipitation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in the presence of protein molecules restrict the usefulness of NPs in biomedical applications. Till now, the influence of different properties of Au NPs (size, surface charge, surface coatings) and proteins (surface charge, chemical modification, folded and unfolded states) and pH and ionic strength of the solution on the aggregation of both Au NPs and proteins has been thoroughly discussed in the literature. However, the underlying different mechanistic pathways of the protein concentration-dependent aggregation of both Au NPs and proteins are poorly understood. The impact of the lipid corona on the protein-induced Au NP aggregation has remained an unresolved issue. In this context, we investigate the interaction of the negatively charged aromatic amino acid (phenylalanine and tyrosine)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au-AA NPs) with the positively charged globular protein lysozyme at different protein concentrations and compare the results with those of conventional citrate-functionalized Au NPs (Au-Cit NPs). Next, we conjugate lipids and proteins to Au NPs to impede the aggregation of Au NPs induced by the lysozyme. Our results reveal that the aggregation mechanism of the Au-AA NPs is distinctly different at low and high protein concentrations with the uniqueness of the Au-AA NPs over the Au-Cit NPs. Furthermore, we find that human serum albumin (HSA) protein-conjugated Au-AA and Au-Cit NPs are more effective in preventing the lysozyme-induced Au NP aggregation than bovine serum albumin (BSA)-conjugated Au NPs. For the first time, we also report the significant role of "hard" and "soft" lipid coronas in the aggregation of amino acid (phenylalanine)-functionalized gold nanoparticles in the presence of lysozyme protein.

Abstract
The effective treatment of patients with cancer hinges on the delivery of therapeutics to a tumor site. Nanoparticles provide an essential transport system. We present 5 principles to consider when designing nanoparticles for cancer targeting: (a) Nanoparticles acquire biological identity in vivo, (b) organs compete for nanoparticles in circulation, (c) nanoparticles must enter solid tumors to target tumor components, (d) nanoparticles must navigate the tumor microenvironment for cellular or organelle targeting, and (e) size, shape, surface chemistry, and other physicochemical properties of nanoparticles influence their transport process to the target. This review article describes these principles and their application for engineering nanoparticle delivery systems to carry therapeutics to tumors or other disease targets.

Abstract
Understanding protein adsorption behavior on rough and wrinkled surfaces is vital to applications including biosensors and flexible biomedical devices. Despite this, there is a dearth of study on protein interaction with regularly undulating surface topographies, particularly in regions of negative curvature. Here we report nanoscale adsorption behavior of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) on wrinkled and crumpled surfaces via atomic force microscopy (AFM). Hydrophilic plasma treated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) wrinkles with varying dimensions exhibit higher surface coverage of IgM on wrinkle peaks over valleys. Negative curvature in the valleys is determined to reduce protein surface coverage based both on an increase in geometric hindrance on concave surfaces, and reduced binding energy as calculated in coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The smaller IgG molecule in contrast shows no observable effects on coverage from this degree of curvature. The same wrinkles with an overlayer of monolayer graphene show hydrophobic spreading and network formation, and inhomogeneous coverage across wrinkle peaks and valleys attributed to filament wetting and drying effects in the valleys. Additionally, adsorption onto uniaxial buckle delaminated graphene shows that when wrinkle features are on the length scale of the protein diameter, hydrophobic deformation and spreading do not occur and both IgM and IgG molecules retain their dimensions. These results demonstrate that undulating wrinkled surfaces characteristic of flexible substrates can have significant effects on protein surface distribution with potential implications for design of materials for biological applications.

Abstract
We perform all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of a 9 nm-thick protein layer, which consists of serum albumin (SA) or a mixture of SA and immunoglobulin gamma-1, formed on 10 nm-sized cationic, anionic, and neutral polystyrene particles. More than half of the proteins are densely concentrated within a distance of ∼3 nm from the particle surface, while fewer proteins are broadly distributed in the range of 3-9 nm from the particle. This compares favorably with the experimental observations of a hard corona as the first layer adjacent to the particle and a soft corona as a loose protein-network. The conformation and diffusivity of the proteins vary in different positions of the layer, and are to an extent dependent on the protein and particle electrostatics. These, combined with free energy calculations, show that the protein and particle charges do not significantly modify the strength of protein-particle binding but do influence the distribution of proteins in the layer. In particular, a free protein more strongly binds to the complex of a protein and particle than to either one, showing the synergistic effect of already adsorbed proteins and a particle. This helps explain the experimental observation regarding the formation of a denser protein layer and the stronger protein-protein interaction in the hard corona than the soft corona.

Abstract
The development of programmable biomaterials for use in nanofabrication represents a major advance for the future of biomedicine and diagnostics. Recent advances in structural nanotechnology using nucleic acids have resulted in dramatic progress in our understanding of nucleic acid-based nanostructures (NANs) for use in biological applications. As the NANs become more architecturally and functionally diverse to accommodate introduction into living systems, there is a need to understand how critical design features can be controlled to impart desired performance in vivo. In this review, we survey the range of nucleic acid materials utilized as structural building blocks (DNA, RNA, and xenonucleic acids), the diversity of geometries for nanofabrication, and the strategies to functionalize these complexes. We include an assessment of the available and emerging characterization tools used to evaluate the physical, mechanical, physiochemical, and biological properties of NANs in vitro. Finally, the current understanding of the obstacles encountered along the in vivo journey is contextualized to demonstrate how morphological features of NANs influence their biological fates. We envision that this summary will aid researchers in the designing novel NAN morphologies, guide characterization efforts, and design of experiments and spark interdisciplinary collaborations to fuel advancements in programmable platforms for biological applications.

Abstract
Various neurodegenerative diseases (parkinson, huntington, alzheimer, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) are becoming serious global health challenges. Despite various treatment options, successful delivery and effective outcomes have been challenged with several physiological-anatomical barriers, formulation related issues, post-administration hurdles, regulatory constraints, physical hurdles, environmental issues, and safety concern. In the present review, we addressed a brief understanding of pathological and normal condition of blood brain barrier (BBB), rational for brain delivery using nanocarriers, major challenges, advantages of nanomedicine, critical aspects of nanomedicine to translate from bed to clinics, and strategic approaches for improved delivery across BBB. The review addressed various mechanistic perspective for delivery of drug loaded nanocarriers across BBB. Moreover, several reports have been published wherein phytomedicine, exosomes, magnetic nanopartilces, functionalized nanocarriers, cationic nanopartilces, and nano-phytomedicine were investigated for remarkable improvement in neurological disorders. These findings are informative for healthcare professionals, researchers, and scientists working in the domains. The successful application and convincing outcomes of nanomedicines were envisaged with clinical trials conducted on various drugs intended to control neurological disorders (NDs). Conclusively, the review addressed comprehensive findings on various aspects of drug loaded nanocarrier delivery across BBB, considerable risks, potential therapeutic benefits, clinical trial based outcomes, and recent advances followed by future perspectives.

Abstract
Biomedical applications of nanoparticles require a fundamental understanding of their interactions and behavior with biological interfaces. Protein corona formation can alter the morphology and properties of nanomaterials, and knowledge of the interfacial behavior of the complexes, using in situ analytical techniques, will impact the development of nanocarriers to maximize uptake and permeability at cellular interfaces. In this study we evaluate the interactions of acrylamide-based nanogels, with neutral, positive, and negative charges, with serum-abundant proteins albumin, fibrinogen, and immunoglobulin G. The formation of a protein corona complex between positively charged nanoparticles and albumin is characterized by dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism, and surface tensiometry; we use neutron reflectometry to resolve the complex structure at the air/water interface and demonstrate the effect of increased protein concentration on the interface. Surface tensiometry data suggest that the structure of the proteins can impact the interfacial properties of the complex formed. These results contribute to the understanding of the factors that influence the bio-nano interface, which will help to design nanomaterials with improved properties for applications in drug delivery.

Abstract
As a promising delivery nanosystem for drug controlled-release, nanocarriers (NCs) have been investigated widely. Although various studies have concentrated on the preparation and characterization of nanoparticles (NPs), clinical applications are rarely reported, due to the unclear distribution, absorption, metabolism, toxicology processes and drug release mechanism. The clinical application of NCs is therefore still a long way off. This review describes the effects of the properties of NCs (including size, shape, surface properties, porosity, elasticity and so on) on pharmacological and toxicological behaviours in vivo and medical applications. Moreover, this study is intended to help the readers understand the behaviours and mechanisms of NCs and positively face the challenges caused by the variety of complicated and limited processes of NCs in vivo. Importantly, this article provides some strategies for the clinical application of NCs and may provide ideas to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of NCs without increasing the toxicology, by introducing tracing technology, which can be more suitable in contributing to the development of safety and efficacy of NCs and the growth of nanotechnology.

Abstract
The formation of the protein corona is a well-known effect when nanoparticles (NP) are exposed to biological environments. The protein corona is the most important factor, which determines the rate and route of endocytosis, and decisively impacts cellular processes and even the release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient from the nanoparticles. While many studies concentrate on the effect of the protein corona formation extracellularly or the uptake consequences, little is known about the fate of the protein corona inside of cells. Here, we reconstruct for the first time the separation of the protein corona from the NPs by the cell and their further fate. Ultimately, the NPs and protein corona are separated from each other and end up in morphologically different cellular compartments. The cell directs the NPs towards recycling endosomes, whereas the protein corona gathers in multivesicular bodies. From this, we conclude that the NPs are prepared for subsequent exocytosis, while the protein corona remains in the cell and is finally metabolized there.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) and other engineered nanomaterials have great potential as nanodrugs or nanomedical devices for biomedical applications. However, the adsorption of proteins in blood circulation or similar physiological fluids can significantly alter the surface properties and therapeutic response induced by most nanomaterials. For example, interaction with proteins can change the bloodstream circulation time and availability of therapeutic NPs or hinder the accumulation in their desired target organs. Proteins can also trigger or prevent agglomeration. By combining experimental and computational approaches, we have developed NPs carrying polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymeric coatings that mimic the surface charge distribution of proteins typically found in blood, which are known to show low aggregation under normal blood conditions. Here, we show that NPs with coatings based on apoferritin or human serum albumin display better antifouling properties and weaker protein interaction compared to similar NPs carrying conventional PEG polymeric coatings.

Abstract
Carbonaceous nanomaterials (CNMs) have drawn tremendous biomedical research interest because of their unique structural features. Recently, CNMs, namely carbon dots, fullerenes, graphene, etc, have been successful in establishing them as considerable nanotherapeutics for phototherapy applications due to their electrical, thermal, and surface properties. This review aims to crosstalk the current understanding of CNMs as multimodal compounds in photothermal and photodynamic therapies as an integrated approach to treating cancer. It also expounds on phototherapy's biomechanics and illustrates its relation to cancer biomodulation. Critical considerations related to the structural properties, fabrication approaches, surface functionalization strategies, and biosafety profiles of CNMs have been explained. This article provides an overview of the most recent developments in the study of CNMs used in phototherapy, emphasizing their usage as nanocarriers. To conquer the current challenges of CNMs, we can raise the standard of cancer therapy for patients. The review will be of interest to the researchers working in the area of photothermal and photodynamic therapies and aiming to explore CNMs and their conjugates in cancer therapy.
