Voices of Nanomedicine: Blueprint Guidelines for Collaboration in Addressing Global Unmet Medical Needs.

The "" under this Perspective underline the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships across several disciplines, such as medical science and technology, medicine, bioengineering, and computational approaches, in bridging the gap between research, manufacturing, and clinical applications. Effective communication is key to bridging team gaps, enhancing trust, and resolving conflicts, thereby fostering teamwork and individual growth toward shared goals. Drawing from the success of the COVID-19 vaccine development, we advocate the application of similar collaborative models in other complex health areas such as nanomedicine and biomedical engineering.

Systematic probing of protein adsorption on protein-based nanoparticles in dependence of the particle surface charge.

Understanding protein adsorption on the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) is crucial for determining their behavior in biological environments. Early research in this field faced challenges in producing high-quality NPs. Advancements in NP fabrication now allow for precise modifications of specific parameters, such as zeta potential.

Iodinated PSMA Ligands as XFI Tracers for Targeted Cell Imaging and Characterization of Nanoparticles.

Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men worldwide. Despite this, current diagnostic tools are still not satisfactory, lacking sensitivity for early-stage or single-cell diagnosis. This study describes the development of small-molecule tracers for the well-known tumor marker prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).

Effect of Ni-Doping on the Optical, Structural, and Electrochemical Properties of Ag Nanoclusters.

Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) can be compositionally controlled at the single-atom level, but understanding structure-property correlations is required for tailoring specific optical properties. Here, the impact of Ni atom doping on the optical, structural, and electrochemical properties of atomically precise 1,3-benzene dithiol (BDT) protected Ag NCs is studied. The Ni-doped Ag (NiAg(BDT)) NCs, are synthesized using a co-reduction method and characterized using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS), ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Transvascular transport of nanocarriers for tumor delivery.

Nanocarriers (NCs) play a crucial role in delivering theranostic agents to tumors, making them a pivotal focus of research. However, the persistently low delivery efficiency of engineered NCs has been a significant challenge in the advancement of nanomedicine, stirring considerable debate. Transvascular transport is a critical pathway for NC delivery from vessels to tumors, yet a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between NCs and vascular systems remains elusive.
