Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and its effective treatment continues to be a significant challenge. Over the past decades, nanomedicine has emerged as a valuable addition to the therapeutic arsenal in the fight against cancer. Among the available approaches, albumin nanoparticles (HSA-PNPs) stand out due to their simplicity of preparation, versatility in …
Nanomaterials can be designed with defined sizes, shapes and compositions and utilized in a wide range of biomedical applications. Advances in synthesis and nanoengineering allow the preparation of increasingly sophisticated nanomaterials that can perform increasingly complex biological functions. However, among those nanomaterials with prominent in vivo performance and approved for use i…
Ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (usGNPs) with core diameters below 3 nm constitute an emerging, special class of nanomaterials owing to their distinctive physicochemical properties and unique biological behaviors. These particles support a wide array of biomedical and basic science applications, including enzyme function regulation, biosensing applications, antimicrobial applications, cance…
Ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (NPs) constitute an emerging, special class of nanomaterials supporting a wide array of biomedical and basic science applications. Ultrasmall NPs can be engineered as protein mimics to interact with biomolecules and cells in a controlled manner. Nevertheless, despite all the progress so far, there is still limited understanding of several key, fundamental asp…
Ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are well-defined nanostructures having core sizes below 3 nm and compact organic ligand shells. They constitute a versatile platform supporting a wide array of therapeutic applications in nanomedicine. However, despite much work in the area, it remains a challenge to define how the size and surface composition of AuNPs can be tuned in order to achieve…
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) represent a promising approach for gene therapy due to their ability to specifically and efficiently silence target genes. However, challenges such as enzymatic degradation, immune activation, and difficulties in crossing biological barriers underscore the need for effective delivery systems with clinical viability. This project aims to develop human serum …
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely used in science, technology, and health. In the biomedical field, the special physicochemical properties of AuNPs allow the development of innovative approaches for the treatment and diagnosis of serious diseases. When introduced into the blood, AuNPs immediately interact with components of the blood milieu, including the enzymes, cofactors, and…
Ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) (core diameter <3 nm) constitute an emerging and interesting class of nanomaterials. Due to their smaller sizes, these particles display special physico-chemical properties and distinct behavior in biological media compared to their larger counterparts (> 3 nm). Significantly, while protein interactions with larger AuNPs typically promote the formatio…
In the last decades, several studies have been undertaken to characterize the cell internalization of synthetic nanoparticles (NPs). On the one hand, part of these studies have attempted to obtain in-depth understanding of the physicochemical, cellular and environmental factors governing the uptake of NPs, with implications for the use of NPs as nanocarriers of drugs or other compounds in…
