Conspectus The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in biology and medicine requires a molecular-
level understanding of how NPs interact with cells in a physiological environment. A critical …

Nanobiotechnology in agriculture is a driver for modern-day smart, efficient agricultural
practices. Nanoparticles have been shown to stimulate plant growth and disease resistance …

Nanoparticles have unique capacities of interacting with the cellular machinery and entering
cells. To be able to exploit this potential, it is essential to understand what controls the …

The response of living systems to nanoparticles is thought to depend on the protein corona,
which forms shortly after exposure to physiological fluids and which is linked to a wide array …

It has been well established that the early stages of nanoparticle–cell interactions are
governed, at least in part, by the layer of proteins and other biomolecules adsorbed and …

Nanoparticles used for biological and biomedical applications encounter a host of
extracellular proteins. These proteins rapidly adsorb onto the nanoparticle surface, creating …

The adsorption of serum proteins, leading to the formation of a biomolecular corona, is a key
determinant of the biological identity of nanoparticles in vivo. Therefore, gaining knowledge …

Nanoparticles are increasingly important for biological applications ranging from drug
delivery to cellular imaging. In the course of these applications, nanoparticles are exposed …

In this work we compare the antifungal capacity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs)
synthesized by a chemical route and a ZnO-based nanobiohybrid obtained by green …

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs), used as pigments and photocatalysts, are
ubiquitous in our daily lives. Previous work has observed cellular oxidative stress in …
