Protein‐based nanomedicine platforms for drug delivery comprise naturally self‐assembled
protein subunits of the same protein or a combination of proteins making up a complete …

Materials scientists increasingly draw inspiration from the study of how biological systems
fabricate materials under mild synthetic conditions by using self‐assembled macromolecular …

Viral nanotechnology is an emerging and highly interdisciplinary field in which viral
nanoparticles (VNPs) are applied in diverse areas such as electronics, energy and next …

Protein cages are hollow protein nanoparticles, such as viral capsids, virus-like particles,
ferritin, heat-shock proteins and chaperonins. They have well-defined capsule-like structures …

Non-invasive imaging holds great promise for the early detection and treatment of human
disease. The ability to both detect and follow disease processes or anatomical defects …

Chemical reactions can be confined to nanoscale compartments by encapsulating catalysts
in hollow nanoobjects. Such reaction compartments effectively become nanoreactors when …

In recent years, plant virus capsids, the protein shells that form the surface of a typical plant
virus particle, have emerged as useful biotemplates for material synthesis. All virus capsids …

Plant viruses have traditionally been studied as pathogens in the context of understanding
the molecular and cellular mechanisms of a particular disease affecting crops. In recent …

In order to compensate for the inherent high threshold of detectability of MR contrast agents,
there has been an active interest in the development of paramagnetic nanoparticles …

This work is focused on the development of a plant virus-based carrier system for cargo
delivery, specifically 30 nm-sized cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV). Whereas previous reports …
