This review shows the most common and promising strategies to generate colloidally stable
silica nanoparticles (NPs) in simulated biological fluids and sheds light on the latest …

The key role of biomolecule adsorption onto engineered nanomaterials for therapeutic and
diagnostic purposes has been well recognized by the nanobiotechnology community, and …

Protein corona formation and nanoparticles' aggregation have been heavily discussed over
the past years since the lack of fine-mapping of these two combined effects has hindered the …

The real-time and in situ monitoring of the synthesis of nanomaterials (NMs) remains a
challenging task, which is of pivotal importance by assisting fundamental studies (eg …

Recently, cryopreservation of AuNPs without aggregation has been attempted to improve
their long-term stability. This study investigated criteria to select cryoprotectants for AuNPs …

The evaluation of the physico-chemical features of nanocarriers is fundamental because the
modulation of these parameters can influence their biological and in vivo fate. This work …

The carboxylic chemical group is a ubiquitous moiety present in amino acids, a ligand for
transition metals, a colloidal stabilizer, and a weak acidic ion-exchanger in polymeric resins …

Zwitterionic coatings are an efficient strategy for preventing biomolecule adsorption and
enhancing nanoparticle stability in solution. The properties of zwitterions and other …

Cancer is the second most deadly disease worldwide, and the most traditional approaches
such as chemotherapy still face limitations associated to drug dosage and off-target side …

We develop a molecular thermodynamic theory to study the interaction of some proteins with
a charge regulating silica-like surface under a wide range of conditions, including pH, salt …
