Role of protein corona in the biological effect of nanomaterials: Investigating methods

Growing developments in engineered nanomaterials (NMs) and their wide applications inevitably raise environmental and human health concerns. Upon contact with biological fluids, NMs can attract proteins onto their surfaces to form dynamic layers called protein corona. Such new biological identities are what the bio-systems “see” and react with. Formation of protein corona around NMs determines the biological behavior of NMs and the...
