This paper engineers biomimetic protein coronas on nanoparticles to improve tumor targeting and reduce immune recognition, achieving 4% ID/g tumor accumulation.

This paper develops targeted photothermal gold nanoparticles using a bacterial protein to selectively destroy S. epidermidis biofilms with high efficiency.

The paper models protein corona disorder on polystyrene nanoparticles, finding that larger nanoparticles lead to less protein destabilization and more solvated, disordered coronas.

This paper develops temperature-responsive gold nanospheres for photothermal ablation of biofilms, showing enhanced antimicrobial efficacy at tunable transition temperatures.
