Nanomaterials hold promise as multifunctional diagnostic and therapeutic agents. However,
the effective application of nanomaterials is hampered by limited understanding and control …

In recent years, the fabrication of nanomaterials and exploration of their properties have
attracted the attention of all branches of science, such as physics, chemistry, biology, and …

Due to their small size, nanoparticles have distinct properties compared with the bulk form of
the same materials. These properties are rapidly revolutionizing many areas of medicine …

Proteins bind the surfaces of nanoparticles, and biological materials in general, immediately
upon introduction of the materials into a physiological environment. The further biological …

Natural polysaccharides, due to their outstanding merits, have received more and more
attention in the field of drug delivery systems. In particular, polysaccharides seem to be the …

Besides the wide use of engineered nanomaterials (NMs) in technical products, their
applications are not only increasing in biotechnology and biomedicine, but also in the …

This review summarizes the different methods of preparation of polymer nanoparticles
including nanospheres and nanocapsules. The first part summarizes the basic principle of …

The importance of the protein corona formed around nanoparticles upon entering a
biological fluid has recently been highlighted. This corona is, when sufficiently long-lived …

As defined by the European Commission, a nanomaterial is a natural, an incidental, or a
manufactured material containing particles in an unbound state or as an aggregate or …

Nanoparticles present enormous surface areas and are found to enhance the rate of protein
fibrillation by decreasing the lag time for nucleation. Protein fibrillation is involved in many …
