Emerging Techniques in Proteomics for Probing Nano?Bio Interactions

Abstract

Nanoengineered particles that can facilitate drug formulation and improve specificity of delivery afford exciting opportunities for improved lesion-specific therapy. Understanding and controlling the nano?bio interactions of these materials is central to future developments in this area. Mass-spectrometry-based proteomics techniques, in conjunction with other emerging technologies, are enabling novel insights into the modulation of particle surfaces by biological fluids (formation of the protein corona) and subsequent particle-induced cellular responses. In this Perspective, we summarize important recent developments using proteomics-based techniques to understand nano?bio interactions and d..
