Beyond Unpredictability: The Importance of Reproducibility in Understanding the Protein Corona of Nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Diego Chiappe, Lionel André Maurizi, Sandra Caroline Galmarini, Nadia Rachel Von Moos, Noëlie Cayla

While it is well established that the surface of a nanoparticle plays a pivotal role for the protein corona, the vast number of proteins present in biological media render general conclusions about affinities between nanoparticle surfaces and proteins nont ...

Superparamagnetic nanohybrids with cross-linked polymers providing higher in vitro stability

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

A simple, rapid, reproducible, and scalable method for generating highly stable cross-linked superparamagnetic nanohybrids was developed. Pre-coating of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces with a biocompatible polymer, hydroxy polyvinyl alco ...

Modification of the surface of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles to enable their safe application in humans

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

Combined individually tailored methods for diagnosis and therapy (theragnostics) could be beneficial in destructive diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Nanoparticles are promising candidates for theragnostics due to their excellent biocompatibility. Na ...

Significance of surface charge and shell material of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) based core/shell nanoparticles on the composition of the protein corona

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi, Morteza Mahmoudi, Géraldine Sylvie Coullerez, Usawadee Sakulkhu

As nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used in many applications their safety and efficient applications in nanomedicine have become concerns. Protein coronas on nanomaterials' surfaces can influence how the cell "recognizes" nanoparticles, as well as the ...
