Radiobiological damage can be caused by radiation, and easy preparation of long-term stable radioprotectors is helpful for timely and efficient response to radiation emergencies. This study develops an ultra-stable radioprotector for rapid nuclear emergency with a simple preparing method. First of all, polyvinylpyrrolidone-modified MnO nanoparticles (PVP-MnO NPs) are obtained by one-pot synthesis with ultra-stability (remaining for at least three years) and multiple free radical scavenging activities. In the synthesis process, PVP acts as a reducing agent, a surfactant (soft template), and a steric stabilizer. PVP-MnO NPs can improve the survival rates of irradiated cells by effectively scavenging free radicals and protecting DNA from radiation damage. Besides, PVP-MnO NPs can also prevent peripheral blood cell and organ damage induced by radiation, and improve the survival rate of irradiated mice. Finally, PVP-MnO NPs are mainly metabolized by liver and kidney in mice, and basically excreted 72 h after administration. These results indicate that PVP-MnO NPs exhibit good biosafety and radioprotection activity, which is significant for the development of radioprotection agents.

We report the assembly of poly(ethylene glycol) nanoparticles (PEG NPs) and optimize their surface chemistry to minimize the formation of protein coronas and immunogenicity for improved biodistribution. PEG NPs cross-linked with disulfide bonds are synthesized utilizing zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 NPs as the templates, which are subsequently modified with PEG molecules with different end groups (carboxyl, methoxy, or amino) to vary the surface chemistry. Among the modifications, the amino and residual carboxyl groups form a pair of zwitterionic structures on the surface of PEG NPs, which minimize the adsorption of proteins (e.

Challenges emerge in the quest for highly efficient and biocompatible coatings to tackle microbial contamination. Here, we propose a bioinspired paradigm combining (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and l-arginine surfactants (LAM) as all-green building blocks for advanced coatings with superior performance. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the natural assembly process of the EGCG/LAM supramolecular nanoparticles (ELA NPs).

Though warangalone has shown anticancer properties against breast cancer cells, its colloidal stability and therapeutic index ought to be improved using a potential strategy, especially via protein-based (nano)carriers. In this research, transferrin was used as a plasma protein for the development of the warangalone-transferrin NPs. To investigate the mechanism underlying the formation of this complex, the interaction between warangalone and transferrin, as well as transferrin NPs, was analyzed using spectroscopic methods.
