Published: November 2017

Aim: A comprehensive understanding of nanoparticle (NP)-protein interaction (protein corona formation) is required. So far, many factors influencing this interaction have been investigated, like size and ζ potential. However, NPs exposure concentration has always been ignored. Herein, we aim to disclose the correlation of NPs exposure concentration with protein adsorption.

Materials & Methods: Four polymeric NPs systems possessing similar sizes (230 ± 20 nm) but varied ζ potentials (-30 ∼ +40 mv) were prepared. Physicochemical properties and protein adsorption upon NP-protein interaction were characterized.

Results: Protein adsorption capacity and adsorbed protein types were NPs concentration-dependent.

Conclusion: Considering the critical impacts of protein adsorption on NPs delivery, our work could be an urgent warning about the possible risks of dosage adjustment of nanoformulations.

Surfaces capable of specific biomolecule recognition are essential for cancer theranostics, biosensing, and tissue engineering. However, current grafting methods, critical for dictating the recognition efficiency and biocompatibility of biomaterials, especially hydrophilic polymers, struggle to balance high grafting density with ease of implementation. In pursuit of a simple, effective, and versatile solution, we introduced a polydopamine (PDA)-assisted Ca-mediated grafting strategy using hyaluronic acid (HA) as a model material.

Lateral flow immunoassays (LFAs) are widely used in point-of-care testing (POCT) for detecting small molecules. However, their application is often hindered by the complex synthesis of traditional chemically synthesized antigens. Nanobody-based coating antigen mimics have shown excellent analytical performance in various immunoassay platforms, but their application in LFAs still faces challenges.

Intravenously administered nanoparticles (NPs) often bind with plasma proteins, forming the protein corona that promotes rapid systemic clearance, a primary challenge in nanomedicine. In this study, we developed a pH- and GSH-sensitive "stealth" nanodelivery system, PTX@NPs-aPD1-IL, for sequential drug release. By using a biocompatible choline-based ionic liquid (IL) as the coating for NPs, the interaction and adsorption of NPs with serum proteins were reduced, achieving targeted delivery to the lung organ and increasing drug accumulation.

Stable Air Plastron Prolongs Biofluid Repellency of Submerged Superhydrophobic Surfaces.

Langmuir

School of Chemical Engineering, Department of Chemistry and Materials Science, Aalto University, Tietotie 3 Espoo 02150, Finland.

Superhydrophobic surfaces find applications in numerous biomedical scenarios, requiring the repellence of biofluids and biomolecules. Plastron, the trapped air between a superhydrophobic surface and a wetting liquid, plays a pivotal role in biofluid repellency. A key challenge, however, is the often short-lived plastron stability in biofluids and the lack of knowledge surrounding it.

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) materials have been widely researched and applied as fouling-release coatings. Incorporation of silicone oils into PDMS has been shown to improve the antifouling properties of PDMS materials. In this research, we applied sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy to study PDMS materials incorporated with various silicone oils containing phenyl groups in air, water, and protein solutions.
