Poly(methyl methacrylate) with Oleic Acid as an Efficient Candida albicans Biofilm Repellent

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), widely used in dentistry, is unfortunately a suitable substrate for Candida (C.) albicans colonization and biofilm formation. The key step for biofilm formation is C. albicans ability to transit from yeast to hypha (filame ...

Controlling structural and magnetic properties of IONPs by aqueous synthesis for improved hyperthermia

Heinrich Hofmann, Alla Arakcheeva, Débora Bonvin, Marijana Mionic Ebersold

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were synthesized by a novel aqueous synthesis route which combines co-precipitation (CP) and hydrothermal (HT) treatment, termed CP + HT, and compared with IONPs obtained by the standard CP method. Properties of both types ...

Protein Corona: Impact of Lymph Versus Blood in a Complex In Vitro Environment

Heinrich Hofmann, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Ulrich Aschauer, Diego Chiappe, Marc Moniatte, Débora Bonvin, Marijana Mionic Ebersold

In biological environments, the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) are modified by protein corona (PC) that determines their biological behavior. Unfortunately, in vitro tests still give different PC than in vivo tests causing in vitro-in vivo discrepancy; hen ...

Versatility of Pyridoxal Phosphate as a Coating of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Ulrich Aschauer, Débora Bonvin

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the most important cofactor of vitamin B-6-dependent enzymes, which catalyses a wide range of essential body functions (e.g., metabolism) that could be exploited to specifically target highly metabolic cells, such as tumour ...

Folic acid on iron oxide nanoparticles: platform with high potential for simultaneous targeting, MRI detection and hyperthermia treatment of lymph node metastases of prostate cancer

Heinrich Hofmann, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Débora Bonvin

The overexpression of the folate receptor in most cancers has been widely exploited to specifically deliver folic acid (FA) coupled nanomedicines to tumors. However, complex coupling chemistry is often used to bind FA to the nanoparticles. Furthermore, ver ...

Assessment of nanoparticles’ safety: corrected absorbance-based toxicity test

Heinrich Hofmann, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Débora Bonvin

We developed a method to correct absorbance-based toxicity tests to remove the influence of the deposited dose of nano-particles. As a model of absorbance-based toxicity tests, we chose the frequently used MTS test. The corrected cell viabilities obtained ...

Chelating agents as coating molecules for iron oxide nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Débora Bonvin

Due to their high chemical affinity towards metal ions, chelating agents (CAs) have been used for decades for water purification, but also for protection against metal intoxication and in nanomedicine as linking molecules at the surface of nanoparticles. H ...
