A new mechanical dry process able to develop nanoparticles coated with polymeric material is proposed. An opportunely developed pilot ball milling apparatus permitted to catch-up significant process parameters that are here reported. A proper analysis of the obtained parameters permitted to individuate optimized milling conditions and to prepare a magnetite/albumin core/shell nanocomposite, material with a potential wide spread of applications in biomedical fields. The obtained powder consists in particles having a diameter of about 45 nm and exhibits a high morphological homogeneity. The proposed method is facile, low cost, solvent free and is applicable to the development of a broad range of multifunctional composites for biomedical applications.

The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) originated in 1992 via a Congressional appropriation to foster novel approaches to biomedical research in response to the expressed needs of its stakeholders-the American public, the military, and Congress. Currently there are 35 CDMRP programs each addressing a specific disease or condition. The Peer Reviewed Alzheimer's Research Program (PRARP) began in 2011 and has a vision to mitigate the impact of Alzheimer's and related dementias associated with military and diverse risks.

Biopolymers, such as collagens, elastin, silk fibroin, spider silk, fibrin, keratin, and resilin have gained significant interest for their potential biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical properties. This review focuses on the design and integration of biomimetic peptides into these biopolymer platforms to control the release of bioactive molecules, thereby enhancing their functionality for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) and silk fibroin repeats, for example, demonstrate how engineered peptides can mimic natural protein domains to modulate material properties and drug release profiles.

The 5,000 to 8,000 monogenic diseases are inherited disorders leading to mutations in a single gene. These diseases usually appear in childhood and sometimes lead to morbidity or premature death. Although treatments for such diseases exist, gene therapy is considered an effective and targeted method and has been used in clinics for monogenic diseases since 1989.
