Abstract
For patients suffering from organ failure due to injury or autoimmune disease, allogeneic organ transplantation with chronic immunosuppression is considered the god standard in terms of clinical treatment. However, the true "holy grail" of transplant immunology is operational tolerance, in which the recipient exhibits a sustained lack of alloreactivity toward unencountered antigen presented by the donor graft. This outcome is resultant from critical changes to the phenotype and genotype of the immune repertoire predicated by the activation of specific signaling pathways responsive to soluble and mechanosensitive cues. Biomaterials have emerged as a medium for interfacing with and reprogramming these endogenous pathways toward tolerance in precise, minimally invasive, and spatiotemporally defined manners. By viewing seminal and contemporary breakthroughs in transplant tolerance induction through the lens of biomaterials-mediated immunomodulation strategies-which include intrinsic material immunogenicity, the depot effect, graft coatings, induction and delivery of tolerogenic immune cells, biomimicry of tolerogenic immune cells, and in situ reprogramming-this review emphasizes the stunning diversity of approaches in the field and spotlights exciting future directions for research to come.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) in contact with biological fluids form a biomolecular corona through interactions with proteins, lipids, and sugars, acquiring new physicochemical properties. This work explores the interaction between selected proteins (hemoglobin and fetuin-A) that may alter NP circulation time and NPs of different surface charges (neutral, positive, and negative). The interaction with key proteins albumin and transferrin, the two of the most abundant proteins in plasma was also studied. Binding affinity was investigated using quartz crystal microbalance and fluorescence quenching, while circular dichroism assessed potential conformational changes. The data obtained from in vitro experiments were compared to in vivo protein corona data. The results indicate that electrostatic interactions primarily drive protein-NP interactions, and higher binding affinity does not necessarily translate into more significant structural changes. In vitro and single protein-NP studies provide valuable insights that can be correlated with in vivo observations, opening exciting possibilities for future protein corona studies.

Abstract
Serum albumin, commonly recognized as a predominant major plasma protein, is ubiquitously distributed among vertebrates, demonstrating versatility and widespread accessibility. Numerous studies have discussed the composition and attributes of human and bovine serum albumin; nonetheless, few systematic and comprehensive summaries on human and bovine serum albumin exist. This paper reviews the applications of human and bovine serum albumin in biomedical engineering. First, we introduce the differences in the structure of human and bovine serum albumin. Next, we describe the extraction methods for human and bovine serum albumin (fractionation process separation, magnetic adsorption, reverse micellar (RM) extraction, and genetic engineering) and the advantages and disadvantages of recently developed extraction methods. The characteristics of different processing forms of human and bovine serum albumin are also discussed, concomitantly elucidating their intrinsic properties, functions, and applications in biomedicine. Notably, their pivotal functions as carriers for drugs and tissue-engineered scaffolds, as well as their contributions to cell reproduction and bioimaging, are critically examined. Finally, to provide guidance for researchers in their future work, this review summarizes the current state of human and bovine serum albumin research and outlines potential future research topics.

Abstract
The main concept of radiosensitization is making the tumor tissue more responsive to ionizing radiation, which leads to an increase in the potency of radiation therapy and allows for decreasing radiation dose and the concomitant side effects. Radiosensitization by metal oxide nanoparticles is widely discussed, but the range of mechanisms studied is not sufficiently codified and often does not reflect the ability of nanocarriers to have a specific impact on cells. This review is focused on the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles while they occupied a special niche among the prospective radiosensitizers due to unique physicochemical characteristics and reactivity. We collected data about the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the radiosensitizing effects of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and the main approaches to increase their therapeutic efficacy by variable modifications.

Superparamagnetic Iron-Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized via Green Chemistry for the Potential Treatment of Breast Cancer. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052343.

Abstract
In the emerging field of nanomedicine, nanoparticles have been widely considered as drug carriers and are now used in various clinically approved products. Therefore, in this study, we synthesized superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) via green chemistry, and the SPIONs were further coated with tamoxifen-conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSA-SPIONs-TMX). The BSA-SPIONs-TMX were within the nanometric hydrodynamic size (117 ± 4 nm), with a small poly dispersity index (0.28 ± 0.02) and zeta potential of -30.2 ± 0.09 mV. FTIR, DSC, X-RD, and elemental analysis confirmed that BSA-SPIONs-TMX were successfully prepared. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of BSA-SPIONs-TMX was found to be ~8.31 emu/g, indicating that BSA-SPIONs-TMX possess superparamagnetic properties for theragnostic applications. In addition, BSA-SPIONs-TMX were efficiently internalized into breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and T47D) and were effective in reducing cell proliferation of breast cancer cells, with IC50 values of 4.97 ± 0.42 μM and 6.29 ± 0.21 μM in MCF-7 and T47D cells, respectively. Furthermore, an acute toxicity study on rats confirmed that these BSA-SPIONs-TMX are safe for use in drug delivery systems. In conclusion, green synthesized superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles have the potential to be used as drug delivery carriers and may also have diagnostic applications.

Comprehensive Assessment of Biomolecular Interactions of Morpholine-Based Mixed Ligand Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes of 2,2'-Bipyridine as Potential Anticancer and SARS-CoV-2 Agents: A Synergistic Experimental and Structure-Based Virtual Screening. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2022; 2022:6987806. [PMID: 36545430 PMCID: PMC9763021 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6987806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
A new class of pharmacologically active mixed-ligand complexes (1a-2a) [MII(L)2 (bpy)], where L = 2-(4-morpholinobenzylideneamino)phenol), bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, MII = Cu (1a), and Zn (2a), were assigned an octahedral geometry by analytical and spectral measurements. Gel electrophoresis showed that complex (1a) demonstrated the complete DNA cleavage mediated by H2O2. The overall DNA-binding constants observed from UV-vis, fluorometric, hydrodynamic, and electrochemical titrations were in the following sequence: (1a) > (2a) > (HL), which suggests that the complexes might intercalate DNA, a possibility that is further supported by the biothermodynamic characteristics. The binding constant results of BSA by electronic absorption and fluorometric titration demonstrate that complex (1a) exhibits the highest binding effectiveness among others, which means that all compounds could interact with BSA through a static approach, additionally supported by FRET measurements. Density FunctionalTheory (DFT) and molecular docking calculations were relied on to unveil the electronic structure, reactivity, and interacting capability of all substances with DNA, BSA, and SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro). These observed binding energies fell within the following ranges: -7.7 to -8.6, -7.2 to -10.2, and -6.7 to -8.2 kcal/mol, respectively. The higher reactivity of the complexes compared to free ligand is supported by the Frontier MolecularOrbital (FMO) theory. The in vitro antibacterial, cytotoxic, and radical scavenging characteristics revealed that complex (1a) has the best biological efficacy compared to others. This is encouraged because all experimental findings are closely correlated with the theoretical measurements.

The Development of New Nanocomposite Polytetrafluoroethylene/Fe 2O 3 NPs to Prevent Bacterial Contamination in Meat Industry. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14224880.

Abstract
The bacterial contamination of cutting boards and other equipment in the meat processing industry is one of the key reasons for reducing the shelf life and consumer properties of products. There are two ways to solve this problem. The first option is to create coatings with increased strength in order to prevent the formation of micro damages that are favorable for bacterial growth. The second possibility is to create materials with antimicrobial properties. The use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings with the addition of metal oxide nanoparticles will allow to the achieving of both strength and bacteriostatic effects at the same time. In the present study, a new coating based on PTFE and Fe2O3 nanoparticles was developed. Fe2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized by laser ablation in water and transferred into acetone using the developed procedures. An acetone-based colloidal solution was mixed with a PTFE-based varnish. Composites with concentrations of Fe2O3 nanoparticles from 0.001-0.1% were synthesized. We studied the effect of the obtained material on the generation of ROS (hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals), 8-oxoguanine, and long-lived active forms of proteins. It was found that PTFE did not affect the generation of all the studied compounds, and the addition of Fe2O3 nanoparticles increased the generation of H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals by up to 6 and 7 times, respectively. The generation of 8-oxoguanine and long-lived reactive protein species in the presence of PTFE/Fe2O3 NPs at 0.1% increased by 2 and 3 times, respectively. The bacteriostatic and cytotoxic effects of the developed material were studied. PTFE with the addition of Fe2O3 nanoparticles, at a concentration of 0.001% or more, inhibited the growth of E. coli by 2-5 times compared to the control or PTFE without NPs. At the same time, PTFE, even with the addition of 0.1% Fe2O3 nanoparticles, did not significantly impact the survival of eukaryotic cells. It was assumed that the resulting composite material could be used to cover cutting boards and other polymeric surfaces in the meat processing industry.

Abstract
The effect of clustering induced by albumin coating on the magnetic behaviour of ultra-small MnFe2O4 nanoparticles has been systematically investigated and compared with that in pure Mn ferrite nanoparticle dense assembly, using a mesoscopic scale approach and numerical simulations reproducing the experimental findings well. Our results provide evidence that in the coated system, the interplay between intra-particle and intra-cluster exchange interactions strongly affects the exchange bias and coercive field values, with the dipolar interactions playing a minor role. Instead, the albumin coating does not affect the thermal stability of the observed superspin glass phase, the freezing temperature being similar in the coated and uncoated systems.

Abstract
Separation and identification of different proteins is one of the most fundamental tasks in biochemistry that is typically achieved by electrophoresis and Western blot techniques. Yet, it is challenging to perform such an analysis with a small sample size. Using a principle analogous to these conventional approaches, we present a label-free, single-molecule technique to identify different proteins based on the difference in their size, charge, and antibody binding. We tether single protein molecules to a sensor surface with a flexible polymer and drive them into oscillation by applying an alternating electric field. By tracking the nanometer-scale oscillation of each protein molecule via high-resolution scattering microscopy, the size and charge of each protein molecule can be determined simultaneously. Changes induced by varying the buffer pH and antibody binding are also investigated, which allows us to further expand the separation ability and identify two different proteins in a mixture. We anticipate our technique will contribute to single protein analysis and biosensing.

Abstract
Protein corona formation and nanoparticles' aggregation have been heavily discussed over the past years since the lack of fine-mapping of these two combined effects has hindered the targeted delivery evolution and the personalized nanomedicine development. We present a multitechnique approach that combines dynamic light and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques with cryotransmission electron microscopy in a given fashion that efficiently distinguishes protein corona from aggregates formation. This methodology was tested using ∼25 nm model silica nanoparticles incubated with either model proteins or biologically relevant proteomes (such as fetal bovine serum and human plasma) in low and high ionic strength buffers to precisely tune particle-to-protein interactions. In this work, we were able to differentiate protein corona, small aggregates formation, and massive aggregation, as well as obtain fractal information on the aggregates reliably and straightforwardly. The strategy presented here can be expanded to other particle-to-protein mixtures and might be employed as a quality control platform for samples that undergo biological tests.

Abstract
Enhancement of drug efficacy is essential in cancer treatment. The immune stimulator ovalbumin (Ova)-coated citric acid (AC-)-stabilized iron oxide nanoparticles (AC-IO-Ova NPs) and enhanced permeability and retention (EPR)-based tumor targeted 4.5 generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimer(4.5GDP)-cisplatin (Cis-pt) nanocomplex (NC) (4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC) were used for enhanced anticancer efficiency. The formations of 4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC, AC-IO, and AC-IO-Ova NPs were examined via FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The conjugation of Cis-pt with 4.5GDP was confirmed using carbon NMR spectroscopy. The tumor-specific 4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC provided 45%and 28% cumulative cisplatin release in 72 h at pH 6.5 and 7.4, respectively. A significant immune response with high TNF-α and IL-6 cytokine secretion was confirmed for the co-incubation of AC-IO-Ova with RAW 264.7 or HaCaT cells. AC-IO-Ova NPs were biocompatible with different cell lines, even at a high concentration (200 µg mL-1). However, AC-IO-Ova NPs mixed with 4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC (Cis-pt at 15 µg mL-1) significantly increased the cytotoxicity against the cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner with the increasing AC-IO-Ova NPs concentrations. The increased anticancer effects may be attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, AC-IO-Ova NPs might assist the efficiency of anticancer cells, inducing an innate immune response via M1 macrophage polarization. We provide a novel synergistic chemoimmunotherapeutic strategy to enhance the anticancer efficacy of cisplatin via a chemotherapeutic agent 4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC and induce proinflammatory cytokines stimulating innate immunity through AC-IO-Ova NPs against tumors.

The influence of pH and ionic strength on the interactions between human serum albumin and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 194:654-665. [PMID: 34813783 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.11.110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Revised: 11/06/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is a very well-characterized protein, which has already been used for many biocompatible coatings. We hypothesized binding between HSA and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) as well as HSA coating stability to be pH- and ionic strength-dependent. The impact of phosphate buffer on protein coating was studied at varying pH (6.0, 6.6, and 7.5) and ionic strengths (0.15 and 0.30 M NaCl) using different physicochemical methods. In addition, the stability of HSA coatings on MNPs was studied by means of UV/visible spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering, and electron magnetic resonance. We used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the differences in the change of enthalpies and denaturation temperatures of HSA in various buffer conditions and on the surface of the particles. The binding thermodynamics of HSA and MNPs were determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and it was also dependent on pH and ionic strength. The stability of adsorbed layer on MNPs decreases with increasing pH [from weakly acidic (pH 6.0-6.6) to slightly alkaline (pH 7.5)], as well as with an increase of ionic strength. This study develops stable HSA coating on MNPs which might be applied to a wide range of biomedical applications.

Structural Characterization of Ectodomain G Protein of Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Its Interaction with Heparan Sulfate: Multi-Spectroscopic and In Silico Studies Elucidating Host-Pathogen Interactions. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26237398.

Abstract
The global burden of disease caused by a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is becoming more widely recognized in young children and adults. Heparan sulfate helps in attaching the virion through G protein with the host cell membrane. In this study, we examined the structural changes of ectodomain G protein (edG) in a wide pH range. The absorbance results revealed that protein maintains its tertiary structure at physiological and highly acidic and alkaline pH. However, visible aggregation of protein was observed in mild acidic pH. The intrinsic fluorescence study shows no significant change in the λmax except at pH 12.0. The ANS fluorescence of edG at pH 2.0 and 3.0 forms an acid-induced molten globule-like state. The denaturation transition curve monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that urea and GdmCl induced denaturation native (N) ↔ denatured (D) state follows a two-state process. The fluorescence quenching, molecular docking, and 50 ns simulation measurements suggested that heparan sulfate showed excellent binding affinity to edG. Our binding study provides a preliminary insight into the interaction of edG to the host cell membrane via heparan sulfate. This binding can be inhibited using experimental approaches at the molecular level leading to the prevention of effective host–pathogen interaction.

Influence of Coating and Size of Magnetic Nanoparticles on Cellular Uptake for In Vitro MRI. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11112888.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are suitable materials for contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Their potential clinical applications range from diagnosis to therapy and follow-up treatments. However, a deeper understanding of the interaction between IONPs, culture media and cells is necessary for expanding the application of this technology to different types of cancer therapies. To achieve new insights of these interactions, a set of IONPs were prepared with the same inorganic core and five distinct coatings, to study their aggregation and interactions in different physiological media, as well as their cell labelling efficiency. Then, a second set of IONPs, with six different core sizes and the same coating, were used to study how the core size affects cell labelling and MRI in vitro. Here, IONPs suspended in biological media experience a partial removal of the coating and adhesion of molecules. The FBS concentration alters the labelling of all types of IONPs and hydrodynamic sizes ≥ 300 nm provide the greatest labelling using the centrifugation-mediated internalization (CMI). The best contrast for MRI results requires a core size range between 12–14 nm coated with dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) producing R2* values of 393.7 s−1 and 428.3 s−1, respectively. These findings will help to bring IONPs as negative contrast agents into clinical settings.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) adsorb proteins when exposed to biological fluids, forming a dynamic protein corona that affects their fate in biological environments. A comprehensive understanding of the protein corona is lacking due to the inability of current techniques to precisely measure the full corona in situ at the single-particle level. Herein, we introduce a 3D real-time single-particle tracking spectroscopy to "lock-on" to single freely diffusing polystyrene NPs and probe their individual protein coronas, primarily using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model system. The fluorescence signals and diffusive motions of the tracked NPs enable quantification of the "hard corona" using mean-squared displacement analysis. Critically, this method's particle-by-particle nature enabled a lock-in-type frequency filtering approach to extract the full protein corona, despite the typically confounding effect of high background signal from unbound proteins. From these results, the dynamic in situ full protein corona is observed to contain twice the number of proteins compared to the ex situ-measured "hard" protein corona.

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

Abstract
The use of metal oxide nanoparticles is one of the promising ways for overcoming antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have found wide applications in different fields of biomedicine. Several studies have suggested using the antimicrobial potential of IONPs. Iron is one of the key microelements and plays an important role in the function of living systems of different hierarchies. Iron abundance and its physiological functions bring into question the ability of iron compounds at the same concentrations, on the one hand, to inhibit the microbial growth and, on the other hand, to positively affect mammalian cells. At present, multiple studies have been published that show the antimicrobial effect of IONPs against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. Several studies have established that IONPs have a low toxicity to eukaryotic cells. It gives hope that IONPs can be considered potential antimicrobial agents of the new generation that combine antimicrobial action and high biocompatibility with the human body. This review is intended to inform readers about the available data on the antimicrobial properties of IONPs, a range of susceptible bacteria, mechanisms of the antibacterial action, dependence of the antibacterial action of IONPs on the method for synthesis, and the biocompatibility of IONPs with eukaryotic cells and tissues.

Abstract
In most cases, once nanoparticles (NPs) enter the blood, their surface is covered by biological molecules, especially proteins, forming a so-called protein corona (PC). As a result, what the cells of the body "see" is not the NPs as formulated by the chemists, but the PC. In this way, the PC can influence the effects of the NPs and even mask the desired effects of the NP components. While this can argue for trying to inhibit protein-nanomaterial interactions, encapsulating NPs in an endogenous PC may increase their clinical usefulness. In this review, we briefly introduce the concept of the PC, its formation and its effects on the behavior of NPs. We also discuss how to reduce the formation of PCs or exploit them to enhance NP functions. Studying the interactions between proteins and NPs will provide insights into their clinical activity in health and disease. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The formation of protein corona (PC) will affect the operation of nanoparticles (NPs) in vivo. Since there are many proteins in the blood, it is impossible to completely overcome the formation of PC. Therefore, the use of PCs to deliver drug is the best choice. De-opsonins adsorbed on NPs can reduce macrophage phagocytosis and cytotoxicity of NPs, and prolong their circulation in blood. Albumin, apolipoprotein and transferrin are typical de-opsonins. In present review, we mainly discuss how to optimize the delivery of nanoparticles through the formation of albumin corona, transferrin corona and apolipoprotein corona in vivo or in vitro.

Abstract
Magneto-fluorescent nanoparticles have attracted great attention because of their dual nature as multimodal imaging probes in various biomedical applications. Particulary, it is desirable to understand how these nanoparticles interact with human serum proteins before they are used in biological systems. In this work, the physiological interactions between magneto-fluorescent nanoparticles (MFNPs) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were systematically investigated. The present observations identified that the collision of MFNPs and BSA caused fluorescence quenching of BSA. Steady state fluorescence, lifetime and anisotropy measurements in the presence of MFNPs supported dynamic quenching of the BSA emission. Furthermore, in the presence of MFNPs, the conformation changes in the BSA structure indicate merely the secondary structural changes. The findings demonstrated that random interactions and hydrophobic forces play a major role in the dynamic quenching. Further, subsequent coating of BSA over MFNPs result in protein corona formation, as is evident through spectroscopic measurements. In light of the present work, MFNPs could serve a purpose in magnetic separation and optical detection of serum proteins from blood plasma in real-time disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The use of methods at molecular scale for the discovery of new potential active ligands, as well as previously unknown binding sites for target proteins, is now an established reality. Literature offers many successful stories of active compounds developed starting from insights obtained in silico and approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One of the most famous examples is raltegravir, a HIV integrase inhibitor, which was developed after the discovery of a previously unknown transient binding area thanks to molecular dynamics simulations. Molecular simulations have the potential to also improve the design and engineering of drug delivery devices, which are still largely based on fundamental conservation equations. Although they can highlight the dominant release mechanism and quantitatively link the release rate to design parameters (size, drug loading, et cetera), their spatial resolution does not allow to fully capture how phenomena at molecular scale influence system behavior. In this scenario, the "computational microscope" offered by simulations at atomic scale can shed light on the impact of molecular interactions on crucial parameters such as release rate and the response of the drug delivery device to external stimuli, providing insights that are difficult or impossible to obtain experimentally. Moreover, the new paradigm brought by nanomedicine further underlined the importance of such computational microscope to study the interactions between nanoparticles and biological components with an unprecedented level of detail. Such knowledge is a fundamental pillar to perform device engineering and to achieve efficient and safe formulations. After a brief theoretical background, this review aims at discussing the potential of molecular simulations for the rational design of drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Freeze-drying of nanoparticle suspensions is capable of generating stable nanoformulations with improved storage times and easier transportation. Nonetheless, nanoparticle aggregation is likely induced during freeze-drying, which reduces its redispersibility upon reconstitution and leads to undesirable effects such as non-specific toxicity and impaired efficacy. In this work, bovine serum albumin (BSA) is described as a suitable protectant for silica nanoparticles (SNPs), which result in solid structures with excellent redispersibility and negligible signs of aggregation even when longer storage times are considered. We experimentally demonstrated that massive system aggregation can be prevented when a saturated BSA corona around the nanoparticle is formed before the lyophilization process. Furthermore, the BSA corona is able to suppress non-specific interactions between these nanoparticles and biological systems, as evidenced by the lack of residual cytotoxicity, hemolytic activity and opsonin adsorption. Hence, BSA can be seriously considered for industry as an additive for nanoparticle freeze-drying since it generates solid and redispersible nanoformulations with improved biocompatibility.

Abstract
We analyzed the different spectroscopic profiles of nanoparticle hard protein corona formation using two model proteins, albumin and immunoglobulin. When compared to serum, this served for the analysis of the hard protein corona main components. To do that, we employed time-resolved UV-Visible light absorption spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential measurements during nanoparticle-protein incubation. Under the tested experimental conditions, the expected evolution from a non-stable (soft) to a stable (hard) protein corona was confirmed for serum and albumin. At the same time, immunoglobulin incubation inevitably failed to form a corona and led to nanoparticle aggregation. The formation profiles of the protein corona were similar in the case of albumin and serum, indicating the dominance of albumin coating the nanoparticle surface when exposed to plasma. This was confirmed by mass spectrometry. Chemical digestion of the nanoparticles bearing different protein coronas gave indications of the density of the different protein coatings. Overall, this study of the protein corona by determining the adsorption kinetics finger-print enables the development of precise nanotechnologies avoiding cumbersome processes and delaying proteomics analysis.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly exploited as diagnostic and therapeutic devices in medicine. Among them, superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs) represent very promising tools for magnetic resonance imaging, local heaters for hyperthermia, and nanoplatforms for multimodal imaging and theranostics. However, the use of NPs, including SPIONs, in medicine presents several issues: first, the encounter with the biological world and proteins in particular. Indeed, nanoparticles can suffer from protein adsorption, which can affect NP functionality and biocompatibility. In this respect, we have investigated the interaction of small SPIONs covered by an amphiphilic double layer of oleic acid/oleylamine and 1-octadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine with two abundant human plasma proteins, human serum albumin (HSA) and human transferrin. By means of spectroscopic and scattering techniques, we analyzed the effect of SPIONs on protein structure and the binding affinities, and only found strong binding in the case of HSA. In no case did SPIONs alter the protein structure significantly. We structurally characterized HSA/SPIONs complexes by means of light and neutron scattering, highlighting the formation of a monolayer of protein molecules on the NP surface. Their interaction with lipid bilayers mimicking biological membranes was investigated by means of neutron reflectivity. We show that HSA/SPIONs do not affect lipid bilayer features and could be further exploited as a nanoplatform for future applications. Overall, our findings point toward a high biocompatibility of phosphocholine-decorated SPIONs and support their use in nanomedicine.

Abstract
The migration process of magnetic nanoparticles and colloids in solution under the influence of magnetic field gradients, which is also known as magnetophoresis, is an essential step in the separation technology used in various biomedical and engineering applications. Many works have demonstrated that in specific situations, separation can be performed easily with the weak magnetic field gradients created by permanent magnets, a process known as low-gradient magnetic separation (LGMS). Due to the level of complexity involved, it is not possible to understand the observed kinetics of LGMS within the classical view of magnetophoresis. Our experimental and theoretical investigations in the last years unravelled the existence of two novel physical effects that speed up the magnetophoresis kinetics and explain the observed feasibility of LGMS. Those two effects are (i) cooperative magnetophoresis (due to the cooperative motion of strongly interacting particles) and (ii) magnetophoresis-induced convection (fluid dynamics instability originating from inhomogeneous magnetic gradients). In this feature article, we present a unified view of magnetophoresis based on the extensive research done on these effects. We present the physical basis of each effect and also propose a classification of magnetophoresis into four distinct regimes. This classification is based on the range of values of two dimensionless quantities, namely, aggregation parameter N* and magnetic Grashof number Grm, which include all of the dependency of LGMS on various physical parameters (such as particle properties, thermodynamic parameters, fluid properties, and magnetic field properties). This analysis provides a holistic view of the classification of transport mechanisms in LGMS, which could be particularly useful in the design of magnetic separators for engineering applications.

Abstract
The recent, fast development of nanotechnology is reflected in the medical sciences. Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) are an excellent example. Thanks to their superparamagnetic properties, SPIONs have found application in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and magnetic hyperthermia. Unlike bulk iron, SPIONs do not have remnant magnetization in the absence of the external magnetic field; therefore, a precise remote control over their action is possible. This makes them also useful as a component of the advanced drug delivery systems. Due to their easy synthesis, biocompatibility, multifunctionality, and possibility of further surface modification with various chemical agents, SPIONs could support many fields of medicine. SPIONs have also some disadvantages, such as their high uptake by macrophages. Nevertheless, based on the ongoing studies, they seem to be very promising in oncological therapy (especially in the brain, breast, prostate, and pancreatic tumors). The main goal of our paper is, therefore, to present the basic properties of SPIONs, to discuss their current role in medicine, and to review their applications in order to inspire future developments of new, improved SPION systems.

Abstract

Engineered
biomedical nanoparticles (NPs) administered via intravenous
routes are prone to associate to serum proteins. The protein corona
can mask the NP surface functionalization and hamper the delivery
of the NP to its biological target. The design of corona-free NPs
relies on our understanding of the chemical-physical features of the
NP surface driving the interaction with serum proteins. Here, we address,
by computational means, the interaction between human serum albumin
(HSA) and a prototypical monolayer-protected Au nanoparticle. We show
that both the chemical composition (charge, hydrophobicity) and the
conformational preferences of the ligands decorating the NP surface
affect the NP propensity to bind HSA.

Abstract
Surface modified colloidal gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were used as efficient quenchers of luminol (LH2) fluorescence either in homogeneous aqueous medium or its noncovalent assembly with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The mechanism as well as the extent of fluorescence quenching was found to be strongly dependent on the nature of the nanoparticles. While simple static type fluorescence quenching mechanism was perceived with AuNP, a more complex protocol involving quenching sphere model was envisaged for AgNP quenching. Nevertheless, the magnitude of Stern-Volmer (SV) quenching constant (KSV ~ 108-1010 M-1) was calculated to be ca. 104 times more for surface quoted NPs in comparison with BSA-NP bioconjugates system. On the other hand, a highly efficient (E ≈ 95%) energy transfer (ET) process was predicted for LH2 captured in the hydrophobic assembly with BSA in presence of AgNP as an acceptor. The ET efficiency is critically dependent on the concentration of BSA and nicely correlated with the extent of NP surface coverage. However, fluorescence quenching on AuNP surface is relatively less responsive towards protein concentration, primarily due to the difference in surface activity as well as the mode of interaction of the protein with NPs. Graphical Abstract Energy transfer from excited luminol to metal nanoparticles is strongly modulated in presence of serum albumins.

Abstract
The adsorption of serum proteins, leading to the formation of a biomolecular corona, is a key determinant of the biological identity of nanoparticles in vivo. Therefore, gaining knowledge on the formation, composition, and temporal evolution of the corona is of utmost importance for the development of nanoparticle-based therapies. Here, it is shown that the use of super-resolution optical microscopy enables the imaging of the protein corona on mesoporous silica nanoparticles with single protein sensitivity. Particle-by-particle quantification reveals a significant heterogeneity in protein absorption under native conditions. Moreover, the diversity of the corona evolves over time depending on the surface chemistry and degradability of the particles. This paper investigates the consequences of protein adsorption for specific cell targeting by antibody-functionalized nanoparticles providing a detailed understanding of corona-activity relations. The methodology is widely applicable to a variety of nanostructures and complements the existing ensemble approaches for protein corona study.

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

Abstract
Effective regulation of cell-surface interactions is critical for regenerative medicine and other cell-based therapies. Herein, visible-light-induced cell sheet harvesting based on silicon wafers with a p/n junction [Si(p/n)] is introduced. Cell sheets could quickly detach from the Si(p/n) surface after 10 min of visible-light illumination with maintained cell viability and functions. It is found that preadsorbed proteins on the Si(p/n) surface like BSA and collagen-I show light-induced desorption behaviors. Molecular dynamics simulation also indicates that long-range force caused by the photovoltaic effect of Si(p/n) under visible-light illumination plays a key role in triggering the release of the preadsorbed protein. It is suggested that such protein desorption behavior mediated by the photovoltaic effect is responsible for cell release. This work not only shows promising potential for cell sheet harvesting, but also provides new insights into protein-material interactions.

Abstract
Here, we study films of proteins over planar surfaces and protein-coated microspheres obtained from the adsorption of three different proteins ( β -casein, β -lactoglobulin and bovine serum albumin (BSA)). The investigation of protein films in planar surfaces is performed by combining quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements with all-atomic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We found that BSA and β -lactoglobulin form compact monolayers, almost without interstices between the proteins. However, β -casein adsorbs forming multilayers. The study of the electrokinetic mobility of protein-coated latex microspheres shows substantial condensation of ions from the buffer over the complexes, as predicted from ion condensation theories. The electrokinetic behavior of the latex-protein complexes is dominated by the charge of the proteins and the phenomenon of ion condensation, whereas the charge of the latex colloids plays only a minor role.

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

Abstract
We present a mechanistic study of the effect of iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in Caenorhabditis elegans combining a genome-wide analysis with the investigation of specific molecular markers frequently linked to nanotoxicity. The effects of two different coatings were explored: citrate, an anionic stabilizer, and bovine serum albumin, as a pre-formed protein corona. The transcriptomic study identified differentially expressed genes following an exposure to SPIONs. The expression of genes involved in oxidative stress, metal detoxification response, endocytosis, intestinal integrity and iron homeostasis was quantitatively evaluated. The role of oxidative stress was confirmed by gene expression analysis and by synchrotron Fourier Transform infrared microscopy based on the higher tissue oxidation of NP-treated animals. The observed transcriptional modulation of key signaling pathways such as MAPK and Wnt suggests that SPIONs might be endocytosed by clathrin-mediated processes, a putative mechanism of nanotoxicity which deserves further mechanistic investigations.

Abstract
Accumulation of palmitic acid (PA) in human bodies could cause damage to pancreatic β cells and lead to chronic diseases by generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, it is of great significance to search for nutrition-available agents with antioxidant activity to protect pancreatic islet cells against PA-induced damage. Phycocyanin (PC) and selenium (Se) have been reported to have excellent antioxidant activity. In this study, PC-functionalized selenium nanoparticles (PC-SeNPs) were synthesized to investigate the in vitro protective effects on INS-1E rat insulinoma β cells against PA-induced cell death. A potent protective effect was achieved by regulation of particle size and PC content. Among three PC-SeNPs (165, 235, and 371 nm), PC-SeNPs-235 nm showed the highest cellular uptake and the best protective activities. For cell cycle analysis, PC-SeNPs showed a better protective effect on PA-induced INS-1E cell apoptosis than PC or SeNPs, and PC-SeNPs-235 nm exhibited the best effect. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that PA induced overproduction of intracellular ROS, mitochondria fragmentation, activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9, and cleavage of PARP. However, pretreatment of the cells with PC-SeNPs effectively blocked these intracellular events, which suggests that PC-SeNPs could protect INS-1E cells against PA-induced cell apoptosis via attenuating oxidative stress and downstream signaling pathways. This finding provides a great promising nutritional approach for protection against diseases related to islet damage.

Abstract
![]()
It
is demonstrated that the adsorption of bovine serum albumin
(BSA) to aqueous gold colloids can be quantified with molecular resolution
by differential centrifugal sedimentation (DCS). This method separates
colloidal particles of comparable density by mass. When proteins adsorb
to the nanoparticles, both their mass and their effective density
change, which strongly affects the sedimentation time. A straightforward
analysis allows quantification of the adsorbed layer. Most importantly,
unlike many other methods, DCS can be used to detect chemisorbed proteins
(“hard corona”) as well as physisorbed proteins (“soft
corona”). The results for BSA on gold colloid nanoparticles
can be modeled in terms of Langmuir-type adsorption isotherms (Hill
model). The effects of surface modification with small thiol-PEG ligands
on protein adsorption are also demonstrated.

Abstract
Understanding and controlling the performance of engineered nanoparticle (NP) systems is greatly assisted by quantitative characterization of their coatings. Useful measurements methods have been described for NPs in liquid environment, but NP aggregation often represents a limiting factor which impairs the accuracy of techniques such as dynamic light scattering for quantification purposes. Here, the authors show how differential centrifugal sedimentation (DCS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can provide quantitative information on the NP coating thickness, molecular conformation, and grafting density of aggregated NP samples. The authors find that thiol-terminated methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) coating thickness on gold NPs increases with increasing particle size and mPEG molecular weight. The hydration of the mPEG shell was estimated by comparing the shell thickness measured in liquid by DCS and vacuum by XPS and was found to increase with the mPEG molecular weight. Finally, the authors used XPS to measure the grafting density of the mPEG molecules. This was found to depend on the mPEG molecular volume and decreased for larger mPEG molecules, suggesting that the grafting density is determined by the conformation of the mPEG molecules in liquid. This analysis provides practical measurement methods for optimizing the design of engineered NP systems and ultimately enhance and control their performance.
