An Overview of Nanoparticle Protein Corona Literature
Hajipour, Mohammad J.; Safavi-Sohi, Reihaneh; Sharifi, Shahriar; Mahmoud, Nouf; Ashkarran, Ali Akbar; Voke, Elizabeth; Serpooshan, Vahid; Ramezankhani, Milad; Milani, Abbas S.; Landry, Markita P.; Mahmoudi, Morteza... more authors ... less authors ( Wiley-Blackwell , 2023 , Article)The protein corona forms spontaneously on nanoparticle surfaces when nanomaterials are introduced into any biological system/fluid. Reliable characterization of the protein corona is, therefore, a vital step in the development ... -
Quercetin Loaded Silica and Gold - Coated Silica Nanoparticles: Characterization, Evaluation and Comparison of Their in vitro Characteristics
Areen M., Khattabi; Al-Dabash, Sabaa; Mahmoud, Nouf N. ( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Herein, silica nanoparticles (NPs) and gold-silica NPs were loaded with the anti-cancer agent quercetin (QC) to produce silica NPs-QC and gold coated silica NPs-QC, respectively. The nanosystems were characterized using ...
