In the biological milieu, nanoparticles (NPs) interact with different biomolecules, particularly
proteins, leading to the formation of an interfacial corona, which gives rise to a new …

Polymer‐coated nanoparticles are widely studied in the context of nanomedicine and it is
therefore of utmost importance to understand not only how their structure but also how their …

Nonspherical gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are increasingly used to enhance sensitivity and
selectivity in analytical methods such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for …

Gold nanostars (AuNSs) have attracted great attention owing to their interesting morphology,
which makes them excellent for numerous applications, especially for catalysis and surface …

Phase behavior in protein–nanoparticle systems in light of protein corona formation has
been investigated. We report the formation of HSA thin films following the addition of a solid …
