Abstract
Currently, purification step in the recombinant protein manufacture is still a great challenge and its cost far outweighs those of the upstream process. In this study, a functionalized cellulose-based monolith was constructed as an efficient affinity adsorbent for one-step purification of recombinant proteins. Firstly, the fundamental cellulose monolith (CE monolith) was fabricated based on thermally induced phase separation, followed by being modified with nitrilotriacetic acid anhydride through esterification to give NCE monolith. After chelating with Ni2+, the affinity adsorbent NCE-Ni2+ monolith was obtained, which was demonstrated to possess a hierarchically porous morphology with a relatively high surface area, porosity and compressive strength. The adsorption behavior of NCE-Ni2+ monolith towards β2-microglobulin with 6 N-terminus His-tag (His-β2M) was evaluated through batch and fixed-bed column experiments. The results revealed that NCE-Ni2+ monolith exhibited a relatively fast His-β2M adsorption rate with a maximum adsorption capacity of 329.2 mg/g. The fixed-bed column adsorption implied that NCE-Ni2+ monolith showed high efficiency for His-β2M adsorption. Finally, NCE-Ni2+ monolith was demonstrated to have an excellent His-β2M purification ability from E. coli lysate with exceptional reusability. Therefore, the resultant NCE-Ni2+ monolith had large potential to be used as an efficient adsorbent for recombinant protein purification in practical applications.

Abstract
Upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymers undergo their own collapsed structures to show thermoresponsive functions favoring controlled release systems, cell adhesion, including separation process, etc. Although the copolymerization of UCST monomers with other vinyl monomers containing a pendant group is a good way to introduce additional functions, uncertain UCST performance as well as extensive bio-related properties are always the points to be considered. To accomplish this, the present work proposes the application of polysaccharides, i.e., chitosan (CS), as the biopolymer backbone to conjugate with functional molecules and UCST polymers. The use of chain transfer agents, e.g., mercaptoacetic acid, in radical polymerization with UCST poly(methacrylamide) (PMAAm) via the CS/NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) complex allows the simple water-based modification. The further conjugation of mouse anti-LipL32 IgG monoclonal antibody (anti-LipL32 mAb) onto CS-PMAAm (CS-PMAAm-Ab) enables a selective binding of recombinant LipL32 (rLipL32) antigen (Ag) in the solution. The CS-PMAAm obtained not only shows the cloud point in the range of 10-30 °C but also the extraction of rLipL32 because of CS-PMAAm-Ab-Ag aggregation. The present work demonstrates how CS expresses UCST with additional antibody conjugated is feasible for a simple and effective Ag single-phase extraction.

Abstract
As the second leading cause of death worldwide, neoplastic diseases are one of the biggest challenges for public health care. Contemporary medicine seeks potential tools for fighting cancer within nanomedicine, as various nanomaterials can be used for both diagnostics and therapies. Among those of particular interest are superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), due to their unique magnetic properties,. However, while the number of new SPIONs, suitably modified and functionalized, designed for medical purposes, has been gradually increasing, it has not yet been translated into the number of approved clinical solutions. The presented review covers various issues related to SPIONs of potential theranostic applications. It refers to structural considerations (the nanoparticle core, most often used modifications and functionalizations) and the ways of characterizing newly designed nanoparticles. The discussion about the phenomenon of protein corona formation leads to the conclusion that the scarcity of proper tools to investigate the interactions between SPIONs and human serum proteins is the reason for difficulties in introducing them into clinical applications. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding the mechanism behind the protein corona formation, as it has a crucial impact on the effectiveness of designed SPIONs in the physiological environment.

Abstract
Due to low immobilized ligand density, limited binding capacity, and severe interference from serum proteins, developing ideal peptide-based biomaterials for precise recognition and in vivo analysis of biopharmaceuticals remains a huge challenge. In this study, mimotope peptide modified pompon mum-like biomimetic magnetic microparticles (MMPs, 3.8 μm) that mimic the specific functionalities of CD20 on malignant B cells were developed for the first time. Benefit from the numerous ligand binding sites (Ni2+) on the pompon mum-like MMPs, these novel materials achieved ≥10 times higher peptide ligand densities (>2300 mg/g) and antibody binding capacities (1380 mg/g) compared to previous reported biomaterials. Leveraging the high specificity of the mimotope peptide, rituximab can be precisely recognized and enriched from cell culture media or serum samples. We also established an LC‒MS/MS method using the MMPs for tracking rituximab biotransformation in patient serum. Intriguingly, deamidation of Asn55 and Asn33, as well as oxidation of Met81 and Met34 were observed at the key complementarity determining regions of rituximab, which could potentially influence antibody function and require careful monitoring. Overall, these versatile biomimetic MMPs demonstrate superior recognition and enrichment capabilities for target antibodies, offering interesting possibilities for biotransformation analysis of biopharmaceuticals in patient serum.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles, such as magnetite (Fe3O4), exhibit superparamagnetic properties below 15 nm at room temperature. They are being explored for medical applications, and the coprecipitation technique is preferred for cost-effective production. This study investigates the impact of synthesis temperature on the nanoparticles' physicochemical characteristics. Two types of magnetic analysis were conducted. Samples T 40, T 50, and T 60 displayed superparamagnetic behavior, as evidenced by the magnetization curves. The experiments verified the development of magnetic nanoparticles with an average diameter of approximately dozens of nanometers, as determined by various measurement methods such as XDR, Raman, and TEM. Raman spectroscopy showed the characteristic bands of the magnetite phase at 319, 364, 499, and 680 cm-1. This was confirmed in the second analysis with the ZFC-FC curves, which showed that the samples' blocking temperatures were below ambient temperature. ZFC-FC curves revealed a similar magnetization of about 30 emu/g when applying a magnetic field of 5 kOe.

Abstract
Xylanases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of xylan. Xylanases have wide industrial applications, and they can produced by various organisms. In this study, we aimed to develop aptamers for the capture of xylanase produced by a wild-type Aspergillus niger strain. Xylanase was produced by Aspergillus niger in a 5-liter stirred-tank bioreactor and then purified by column chromatography. Magnetic bead-based SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) was performed to select DNA aptamers specific to the purified xylanase. After nine rounds of selection, next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis was performed. Four aptamers, namely AXYL-1, AXYL-2, AXYL-3, and AXYL-4, were identified for further characterization. The binding properties of the selected aptamers were characterized by fluorescence quenching (FQ) analysis and an enzyme-linked aptamer assay (ELAA). The Kd values were found to be in the low μM range. Then, each aptamer was immobilized on streptavidin-coated magnetic particles, and the recovery ratio of xylanase was determined. Although AXYL-1 wasn't effective, AXYL-2, AXYL-3, and AXYL-4 were proven to capture the xylanase. The maximum recovery rate of xylanase was found to be approximately 54 %.

Abstract
Various conventional treatments including endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and chemotherapy have been used for several decades to treat breast cancer; however, these therapies exhibit various life-threatening and debilitating adverse effects in patients. Additionally, combination therapies are required for prompt action as well as to prevent drug resistance toward standard breast cancer medications. Ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly gaining momentum for their application in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Spinel ferrites are particularly used against breast cancer and have shown in vitro and in vivo better efficacy as compared to conventional cancer therapies. Magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, magnetic particle imaging tracers, cell separation, and immune assays are some aspects related to the diagnosis of breast cancer against which different ferrite NPs have been successfully evaluated. Moreover, citrate-coated nickel ferrite, Mg/Zn ferrites, poly amidoamine dendrimers, cobalt ferrites, graphene oxide cobalt ferrites, doxorubicin functionalized cobalt ferrites, chitosan-coated zinc ferrites, PEG-coated cobalt ferrite, and copper ferrite NPs have demonstrated antiproliferative action against different breast cancer cells. Oxaliplatin-loaded polydopamine/BSA-copper ferrites, functionalized cobalt and zinc ferrites of curcumin, oxaliplatin-copper ferrite NPs, tamoxifen/diosgenin encapsulated ZnO/Mn ferrites, and fabricated core-shell fibers of doxorubicin have been developed to increase the bioavailability and anti-proliferative effect and decrease the toxicity of anticancer drugs. These ferrite NPs showed an anticancer effect at different doses in the presence or absence of an external magnetic field. The present review covers the in-depth investigations of ferrite NPs for the diagnosis and management of breast cancer.

Abstract
To improve the adsorption and catalytic performance of heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts for oil wastes, amino acids were used to modify nanoscale zero-valent iron (AA@Fe0), which were applied in the Fenton-like degradation of organic solvents (tributyl phosphate and n-dodecane, named TBP and DD). Twelve amino acids, i.e., glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala), leucine (Leu), proline (Pro), phenylalanine (Phe), methionine (Met), cysteine (Cys), asparagine (Asn), serine (Ser), glutamic acid (Glu), lysine (Lys) and arginine (Arg), were selected and calculated by density functional theory (DFT). The optimized structure, charge distribution, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), interaction region indicator (IRI) isosurface map and adsorption energy of AA@Fe0, AA@Fe0-TBP and AA@Fe0-DD were studied, which indicated that Fe is more likely to approach and charge transfer with -COO and -NH3 on the α-carbon of amino acids. There is strong attraction between Fe and -COO, and Van der Waals force between Fe and -NH3, respectively. In the interaction of AA@Fe0 with TBP and DD, Van der Waal force plays an important role. AA@Fe0 was synthesized in laboratory and characterized to investigate physicochemical properties. In Fenton-like degradation of organic solvents, the change of COD in water phase during the degradation process as well as the volume of the organic phase after the reaction were investigated. The results of calculations combined with experiments showed that Ser-modified Fe0 performed the best in these amino acids, with 98% removal of organic solvents. A possible catalytic mechanism was proposed in which amino acids acted a linking role between Fe and organic solvents, activating H2O2 to generate hydroxyl radicals for the degradation of organic solvents.

Abstract
In vitro diagnosis (IVD) is pivotal in modern medicine, enabling early disease detection and treatment optimization. Omics technologies, particularly proteomics and metabolomics, offer profound insights into IVD. Despite its significance, omics analyses for IVD face challenges, including low analyte concentrations and the complexity of biological environments. In addition, the direct omics analysis by mass spectrometry (MS) is often hampered by issues like large sample volume requirements and poor ionization efficiency. Through manipulating their size, surface charge, and functionalization, as well as the nanoparticle-fluid incubation conditions, nanomaterials have emerged as a promising solution to extract biomolecules and enhance the desorption/ionization efficiency in MS detection. This review delves into the last five years of nanomaterial applications in omics, focusing on their role in the enrichment, separation, and ionization analysis of proteins and metabolites for IVD. It aims to provide a comprehensive update on nanomaterial design and application in omics, highlighting their potential to revolutionize IVD.

Abstract
The accurate and effective detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is essential to preventing the spread of infectious diseases and ensuring human health. Herein, a nanobody-displayed whole-cell biosensor was developed for colorimetric detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins. Serving as bioreceptors, yeast surfaces were genetically engineered to display SARS-CoV-2 binding of llama-derived single-domain antibodies (nanobodies) with high capture efficiency, facilitating the concentration and purification of SARS-CoV-2. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) employed as signal transductions were functionalized with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and anti-SARS monoclonal antibodies to enhance the detection sensitivity. In the presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins, the sandwiched binding will be formed by linking engineered yeast, SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins, and reporter AuNPs. The colorimetric signal was generated by the enzymatic reaction of HRP and its corresponding colorimetric substrate/chromogen system. At the optimal conditions, the developed whole-cell biosensor enables the sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins in a linear range from 0.01 to 1 μg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.037 μg/mL (about 4 × 108 virion particles/mL). Furthermore, the whole-cell biosensor was demonstrated to detect the spike protein of different SARS-CoV-2 variants in human serum, providing new possibilities for the detection of future SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in Hubei, China, in December 2019, has had a profound impact on global public health. With the elucidation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus structure, genome type, and routes of infection, a variety of diagnostic methods have been developed for COVID-19 detection and surveillance. Although the pandemic has been declared over, we are still significantly affected by it in our daily lives in the post-pandemic era. Among the various diagnostic methods, nanomaterials, especially metallic nanomaterials, have shown great potential in the field of bioanalysis due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This review highlights the important role of metallic nanosensors in achieving accurate and efficient detection of COVID-19 during the pandemic outbreak and spread. The sensing mechanisms of each diagnostic device capable of analyzing a range of targets, including viral nucleic acids and various proteins, are described. Since SARS-CoV-2 is constantly mutating, strategies for dealing with new variants are also suggested. In addition, we discuss the analytical tools needed to detect SARS-CoV-2 variants in the current post-pandemic era, with a focus on achieving rapid and accurate detection. Finally, we address the challenges and future directions of metallic nanomaterial-based COVID-19 detection, which may inspire researchers to develop advanced biosensors for COVID-19 monitoring and rapid response to other virus-induced pandemics based on our current achievements.

Abstract
In addition to understanding and explaining the functions of proteins, the need for low-cost, easy and efficient purification methods has been increasing in the field of protein purification, which is also important for enzyme production. In this context, an alternative approach has been developed for the purification of thrombin, which has a crucial role in the hemostatic process, via thrombin imprinted microcryogels that allow reuse and have high selectivity. The characterization studies of the microcryogels were accomplished with micro-computed tomography (µCT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscope, surface area measurements (BET analyses) and swelling test measurements. By scanning various parameters affecting thrombin adsorption, the maximum thrombin adsorption capacity (Qmax) was found to be 55.86 mg/g. Also, the selectivity of microcryogels was investigated with the competitive agents and reusability studies were performed. The purity of thrombin was evaluated by Fast Performance Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) method. Experimental results indicated that adsorption of thrombin by the developed microcryogels fit the Langmuir isotherm model (Qmax: 55.86 mg/g, R2: 0.9505) and pseudo-second order for three different thrombin concentrations (R2: 0.9978, R2: 0.9998, R2: 0.9999).

Abstract
The incidence and mortality of cancer are gradually increasing. The highly invasive and metastasis of tumor cells increase the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment, so people pay more and more attention to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Conventional treatment methods, including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, are difficult to eliminate tumor cells completely. And the emergence of nanotechnology has boosted the efficiency of tumor diagnosis and therapy. Herein, the research progress of nanotechnology used for tumor diagnosis and treatment is reviewed, and the emerging detection technology and the application of nanodrugs in clinic are summarized and prospected. The first part refers to the application of different nanomaterials for imaging in vivo and detection in vitro, which includes magnetic resonance imaging, fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging and biomarker detection. The distinctive physical and chemical advantages of nanomaterials can improve the detection sensitivity and accuracy to achieve tumor detection in early stage. The second part is about the nanodrug used in clinic for tumor treatment. Nanomaterials have been widely used as drug carriers, including the albumin paclitaxel, liposome drugs, mRNA-LNP, protein nanocages, micelles, membrane nanocomplexes, microspheres et al., which could improve the drug accumulate in tumor tissue through enhanced permeability and retention effect to kill tumor cells with high efficiency. But there are still some challenges to revolutionize traditional tumor diagnosis and anti-drug resistance based on nanotechnology.

Abstract
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetite and maghemite) are intensively studied due to their broad potential applications in medical and biological sciences. Their unique properties, such as nanometric size, large specific surface area, and superparamagnetism, allow them to be used in targeted drug delivery and internal radiotherapy by targeting an external magnetic field. In addition, they are successfully used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), hyperthermia, and radiolabelling. The appropriate design of nanoparticles allows them to be delivered to the desired tissues and organs. The desired biodistribution of nanoparticles, eg, cancerous tumors, is increased using an external magnetic field. Thus, knowledge of the biodistribution of these nanoparticles is essential for medical applications. It allows for determining whether nanoparticles are captured by the desired organs or accumulated in other tissues, which may lead to potential toxicity. This review article presents the main organs where nanoparticles accumulate. The sites of their first uptake are usually the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes, but with the appropriate design of nanoparticles, they can also be accumulated in organs such as the lungs, heart, or brain. In addition, the review describes the factors affecting the biodistribution of nanoparticles, including their size, shape, surface charge, coating molecules, and route of administration. Modern techniques for determining nanoparticle accumulation sites and concentration in isolated tissues or the body in vivo are also presented.

Abstract
Herein, a novel nanostructure based on cyclic aromatic polyimide with statistical star polymer structure was synthesized via the functionalization of the CuFe2O4 MNPs surface. The polymerization process on the functionalized surface of CuFe2O4 MNPs was performed with pyromellitic dianhydride and phenylenediamine derivatives. All analytical methods such as Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) were performed to characterize the structure of CuFe2O4@SiO2-polymer nanomagnetic. The cytotoxicity of CuFe2O4@SiO2-Polymer was investigated for biomedical application by MTT test. The results proved that this nanocmposite was biocompatible with HEK293T healthy cells. Also, the evaluation antibacterial property of CuFe2O4@SiO2-Polymer showed that its MIC in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were 500-1000 µg/mL, so it had antibacterial activity.

Abstract
A cysteine-based complex of Mn2+ led to the formation of nanoparticles in aqueous medium under ambient conditions. The formation and evolution of the nanoparticles in the medium were followed by ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis) spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy that also revealed a first-order process. The magnetic properties of the nanoparticles isolated as solid powders exhibited strong crystallite and particle size dependence. At low crystallite size, as well as particle size, the complex nanoparticles showed superparamagnetic behavior similar to other magnetic inorganic nanoparticles. The magnetic nanoparticles were found to undergo a superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic transition, and then to paramagnetic transition with a gradual increase in either their crystallite size or particle size. The discovery of dimension-dependent magnetic property of inorganic complex nanoparticles may usher in a superior option for tuning the magnetic behavior of nanocrystals, depending on the component ligands and metal ions.

Abstract
Several vaccines against COVID-19 use a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) as antigen, making the purification of this protein a key step in their production. In this work, citrate-coated magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were evaluated as nano adsorbents in the first step (capture) of the purification of recombinant RBD. The nanoparticles were isolated through coprecipitation and subsequently coated with sodium citrate. The citrate-coated nanoparticles exhibited a diameter of 10 ± 2 nm, a hydrodynamic diameter of 160 ± 3 nm, and contained 1.9 wt% of citrate. The presence of citrate on the nanoparticles' surface was confirmed through FT-IR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. The crystallite size (10.1 nm) and the lattice parameter (8.3646 Å) were determined by X-ray diffraction. In parallel, RBD-containing supernatant extracted from cell culture was exchanged through ultrafiltration and diafiltration into the adsorption buffer. The magnetic capture was then optimized using different concentrations of nanoparticles in the purified supernatant, and we found 40 mg mL-1 to be optimal. The ideal amount of nanoparticles was assessed by varying the RBD concentration in the supernatant (between 0.113 mg mL-1 and 0.98 mg mL-1), which resulted in good capture yields (between 83 ± 5% and 94 ± 4%). The improvement of RBD purity after desorption was demonstrated by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC. Furthermore, the magnetic capture was scaled up 100 times, and the desorption was subjected to chromatographic purifications. The obtained products recognized anti-RBD antibodies and bound the ACE2 receptor, proving their functionality after the developed procedure.

An achromatic colorimetric nanosensor for sensitive multiple pathogen detection by coupling plasmonic nanoparticles with magnetic separation. Talanta 2023; 256:124271. [PMID: 36681038 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Rapid screening of multiple pathogens will greatly improve the efficiency of pandemic prevention and control. Colorimetric methods exhibit the advantages of convenience, portability, low cost, time efficiency, and free of sophisticated instruments, yet usually have difficulties in simultaneous detection and suffer from monotonous color changes with low visual resolution and sensitivity. Hence, coupled three kinds of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) with magnetic separation, we developed an achromatic colorimetric nanosensor with highly enhanced visual resolution for simultaneous detection of SARS-CoV-2, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhimurium. The achromatic nanosensor was composed of SARS-CoV-2-targeting red gold NPs, S. aureus-targeting yellow silver NPs and S. typhimurium-targeting blue silver triangle NPs mixed as black color. In the detection, three corresponding magnetic probes were added into the above mixture. In the presence of a target pathogen, it would be recognized and combined with corresponding colored reporters and magnetic probes to form sandwich complexes, which were removed by magnetic separation, and the sensor changed from black to a chromatic color (the color of the reporters remained in supernatant). Consequently, different target pathogen induced different color. For example, SARS-CoV-2, S. aureus, and S. typhimurium respectively produced green, purple, and orange. While coexistence of S. aureus and S. typhimurium produced red, and coexistence of S. aureus and SARS-CoV-2 produced blue, etc. Therefore, by observing the color change or measuring the absorption spectra, multiple pathogen detection was achieved conveniently. Compared with most colorimetric sensors, this achromatic nanosensor involved rich color change, thus significantly enhancing visual resolution and inspection sensitivity. Therefore, this sensor opened a promising avenue for efficient monitoring and early warning of food safety and quality.

Abstract
In this study, a L-asparagine (L-Asn) imprinted membranes (L-Asn-MIPs) were synthesized via molecular imprinting for selective and efficient removal of L-Asn. The L-Asn-MIP membrane was prepared by using acrylamide (AAm) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as a functional monomer and a comonomer, respectively. The membrane was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The L-Asn adsorption capacity of the membrane was investigated in detail. The maximum L-Asn adsorption capacity was determined as 408.2 mg/g at pH: 7.2, 24 °C. Determination of L-Asn binding behaviors of L-Asn-MIPs also shown with Scatchard analyses. The effect of pH on L-Asn adsorption onto the membrane and also the selectivity and reusability of the L-Asn-MIPs for L-Asn adsorption were determined through L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) enzyme activity measurements. The selectivity of the membrane was investigated by using two different ternary mixtures; L-glycine (L-Gly)/L-histidine (L-His)/L-Asn and L-tyrosin (L-Tyr)/L-cystein(L-Cys)/L-Asn. The obtained results showed that the L-Asn-MIP membranes have a high selectivity towards L-Asn.

Abstract
Herein, a multifunctional nanobiocomposite was designed for biological application, amongst which hyperthermia cancer therapy application was specifically investigated. This nanobiocomposite was fabricated based on chitosan hydrogel (CS), silk fibroin (SF), water-soluble polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs). CS and SF as natural compounds were used to improve the biocompatibility, biodegradability, adhesion and cell growth properties of the nanobiocomposite that can prepare this nanocomposite for the other biological applications such as wound healing and tissue engineering. Since the mechanical properties are very important in biological applications, PVA polymer was used to increase the mechanical properties of the prepared nanobiocomposite. All components of this nanobiocomposite have good dispersion in water due to the presence of hydrophilic groups such as NH2, OH, and COOH, which is one of the effective factors in increasing the efficiency of hyperthermia cancer therapy. The structural analyzes of the hybrid nanobiocomposite were determined by FT-IR, XRD, EDX, FE-SEM, TGA and VSM. Biological studies such as MTT and hemolysis testing proved that it is hemocompatible and non-toxic for healthy cells. Furthermore, it can cause the death of cancer cells to some extent (20.23%). The ability of the nanobiocomposites in hyperthermia cancer therapy was evaluated. Also, the results showed that it can be introduced as an excellent candidate for hyperthermia cancer therapy.

Abstract
It has great significance in profiling specific proteins throughout for better understanding of complex pathological processes and in-depth pharmacological studies. In this work, an efficient protein profiling strategy was developed based on the specific protein-drug interaction. Sofosbuvir (SOF), as a first-line drug for the treatment of hepatitis C, was modified onto the surface of nanoparticles through stable chemical bonds to fabricate a novel magnetic separation material denoted as Fe3O4@SiO2@PAA@SOF. With sequence coverage as the screening parameter, nine proteins were profiled from fetal bovine serum (FBS) of which eight were liver related. Similarly, the strategy was applied to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient serum. Eight proteins were profiled and all of them were liver related, demonstrating the superb specificity and selectivity of this strategy for profiling liver-related proteins by virtue of protein-SOF interaction. When serum proteins from HCC patients were compared to those from healthy people, one unique differential protein (D3DQX7) was profiled, which was liver related and was a potential target for ameliorating liver diseases. For further research, this material design concept and protein profiling strategy can be extended to employ other drugs for corresponding studies. Sofosbuvir, as a therapeutic drug for liver diseases, was modified onto the surface of magnetic nanoparticles to fabricate the specific selective separation material (Fe3O4@SiO2@PAA@SOF). Based on protein-SOF interaction, the material was applied to adsorb specific proteins from different serum samples. After MS analysis, specific proteins, most of which were liver related, were successfully profiled from FBS and HCC patient serum, fully demonstrating the superb specificity and selectivity of this protein profiling strategy.

Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most investigated nanomaterials so far and modern synthesis methods currently provide an exceptional control of their size, shape, crystallinity and surface functionalization. These advances have enabled their use in different fields ranging from environmental applications to biomedicine. However, several studies have shown that the precise composition and crystal structure of magnetite NPs depend on their redox phase transformations, which have a profound impact on their physicochemical properties and, ultimately, on their technological applications. Although the physical mechanisms behind such chemical transformations in bulk materials have been known for a long time, experiments on NPs with large surface-to-volume ratios have revealed intriguing results. This article is focused on reviewing the current status of the field. Following an introduction on the fundamental properties of magnetite and other related iron oxides (including maghemite and wüstite), some basic concepts on the chemical routes to prepare iron oxide nanomaterials are presented. The key experimental techniques available to study phase transformations in iron oxides, their advantages and drawbacks to the study of nanomaterials are then discussed. The major section of this work is devoted to the topotactic oxidation of magnetite NPs and, in this regard, the cation diffusion model that accounts for the experimental results on the kinetics of the process is critically examined. Since many synthesis routes rely on the formation of monodisperse magnetite NPs via oxidation of wüstite counterparts, the modulation of their physical properties by crystal defects arising from the oxidation process is also described. Finally, the importance of a precise control of the composition and structure of magnetite-based NPs is discussed and its role in their biomedical applications is highlighted.

Abstract
In this study, Se-doped Fe3O4 with antibacterial properties was synthesized using by a coprecipitation method. The chemistry and morphology of the Se doped Fe3O4 nanocomposite were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity of the Fe3O4/Se nanocomposite was examined against G+ (Gram-positive) and G- (Gram-negative) bacteria, in the order Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Escherichia coli, which are the most harmful and dangerous bacteria. Fe3O4/Se, as a heterogeneous catalyst, was successfully applied to the synthesis of pyrazolopyridine and its derivatives via a one-pot four-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, ammonium acetate, and various aromatic aldehydes. Fe3O4/Se was easily separated from the bacteria-containing solution using a magnet. Its admissible magnetic properties, crystalline structure, antibacterial activity, mild reaction conditions, and green synthesis are specific features that have led to the recommendation of the use of Fe3O4/Se in the water treatment field and medical applications. Direct Se doping of Fe3O4 was successfully realized without additional complicated procedures.

Abstract
Proteins are essential for various functions such as brain activity and muscle contraction in humans. Even though food is a source of proteins, the bioavailability of proteins in most foods is usually limited due to matrix interaction with other biomolecules. Thus, it is essential to extract these proteins and provide them as a nutraceutical supplement to maintain protein levels and avoid protein deficiency. Hence, protein purification and extraction from natural sources are highly significant in biomedical applications. Chromatography, crude mechanical disruption, use of extractive chemicals, and electrophoresis are some of the methods applied to isolate specific proteins. Even though these methods possess several advantages, they are unable to extract specific proteins with high purity. A suitable alternative is the use of nanoparticles, which can be beneficial in protein purification and extraction. Notably, magnetic iron and iron-based nanoparticles have been employed in protein extraction processes and can be reused via demagnetization due to their magnetic property, smaller size, morphology, high surface-to-volume ratio, and surface charge-mediated property. This chapter is a summary of various magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) that can be used for the biomolecular separation of proteins.

Abstract
Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their superparamagnetic properties, large specific surface area, high biocompatibility, non-toxicity, large-scale production, and recyclability. More importantly, numerous hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the surface of Fe3O4 MNPs can provide coupling sites for various modifiers, forming versatile nanocomposites for applications in the energy, biomedicine, and environmental fields. With the development of science and technology, the potential of nanotechnology in the food industry has also gradually become prominent. However, the application of composite Fe3O4 MNPs in the food industry has not been systematically summarized. Herein, this article reviews composite Fe3O4 MNPs, including their properties, modifications, and physical functions, as well as their applications in the entire food industry from production to processing, storage, and detection. This review lays a solid foundation for promoting food innovation and improving food quality and safety.

PLoS One 2022; 17:e0267206. [PMID: 35877673 PMCID: PMC9312401 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0267206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Efficient Bio-immunomagnetic separation (BIMS) of recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (rHBsAg) with high binding capacity was studied using affinity ligand immobilized bacterial magnetosome nanoparticles (Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense strain MSR-1 bacteria) as an immunomagnetic sorbent. Our results showed immunomagnetic adsorption, acted by affinity interactions with the immobilized monoclonal antibody, offered higher antigen adsorption and desorption capacities as compared with the commercially available immunoaffinity sorbents. Four different ligand densities of the Hep-1 monoclonal antibody were examined during covalent immobilization on Pyridyl Disulfide-functionalized magnetosome nanoparticles for HBsAg immunomagnetic separation. The average of adsorption capacity was measured as 3 mg/ml in optimized immunomagnetic sorbent (1.056 mg rHBsAg/ml immunomagneticsorbent/5.5 mg of total purified protein) and 5mg/ml in immunoaffinity sorbent (0.876 mg rHBsAg/ml immunosorbent/5.5 mg total purified protein during 8 runs. Immunomagnetic sorbent demonstrated ligand leakage levels below 3 ng Mab/Ag rHBsAg during 12 consecutive cycles of immunomagnetic separation (IMS). The results suggest that an immunomagnetic sorbent with a lower ligand density (LD = 3 mg Mab/ml matrix) could be the best substitute for the immunosorbent used in affinity purification of r-HBsAg there are significant differences in the ligand density (98.59% (p-value = 0.0182)), adsorption capacity (97.051% (p-value = 0.01834)), desorption capacity (96.06% (p-value = 0.036)) and recovery (98.97% (p-value = 0.0231)). This study indicates that the immunosorbent approach reduces the cost of purification of Hep-1 protein up to 50% as compared with 5 mg Mab/ml immunoaffinity sorbent, which is currently used in large-scale production. As well, these results demonstrate that bacterial magnetosome nanoparticles (BMs) represent a promising alternative product for the economical and efficient immobilization of proteins and the immunomagnetic separation of Biomolecules, promoting innovation in downstream processing.

Abstract
Interactions of proteins with nanomaterials draw attention of many research groups interested in fundamental phenomena. However, alongside with valuable information regarding physicochemical aspects of such processes and their mechanisms, they more and more often prove to be useful from a point of view of bioanalytics. Deliberate use of processes based on adsorption of proteins on nanoparticles (or vice versa) allows for a development of new analytical methods and improvement of the existing ones. It also leads to obtaining of nanoparticles of desired properties and functionalities, which can be used as elements of analytical tools for various applications. Due to interactions with nanoparticles, proteins can also gain new functionalities or lose their interfering potential, which from perspective of bioanalytics seems to be very inviting and attractive. In the framework of this article we will discuss the bioanalytical potential of interactions of proteins with a chosen group of nanoparticles, and implementation of so driven processes for biosensing. Moreover, we will show both positive and negative (opportunities and challenges) aspects resulting from the presence of proteins in media/samples containing metal-based nanoparticles or their precursors.

Abstract
The increasing appearance of new strains of microorganisms resistant to the action of existing antibiotics is a modern problem that requires urgent decision. A promising potential solution is the use of nanoparticles of bioactive metals and their oxides as new antibacterial agents, since they are capable of affecting pathogenic microorganisms by mechanisms different from the mechanisms of action of antibiotics. Inorganic nanoparticles possess a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity. These particles can be easily conjugated with drug molecules and become carriers in targeted drug-delivery systems. This paper discusses the benefits and prospects of the application of nanoparticles from metals and metal oxides and their nanocomposites with antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of different biomarkers from a single specimen in a single test, allowing more rapid, efficient, and low-cost analysis, is of great significance for accurate diagnosis of disease and efficient monitoring of therapy. Recently, developments in microfabrication and nanotechnology have advanced the integration of nanomaterials in microfluidic devices toward multiplex assays of biomarkers, combining both the advantages of microfluidics and the unique properties of nanomaterials. In this review, we focus on the state of the art in multiplexed detection of biomarkers based on nanomaterial-assisted microfluidics. Following an overview of the typical microfluidic analytical techniques and the most commonly used nanomaterials for biochemistry analysis, we highlight in detail the nanomaterial-assisted microfluidic strategies for different biomarkers. These highly integrated platforms with minimum sample consumption, high sensitivity and specificity, low detection limit, enhanced signals, and reduced detection time have been extensively applied in various domains and show great potential in future point-of-care testing and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
The immunosensor has been proven a versatile tool to detect various analytes, such as food contaminants, pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics and biomarkers related to cancer. To fabricate robust and reproducible immunosensors with high sensitivity, the covalent immobilization of immunoglobulins (IgGs) in a site-specific manner contributes to better performance. Instead of the random IgG orientations result from the direct yet non-selective immobilization techniques, this review for the first time introduces the advances of stepwise yet site-selective conjugation strategies to give better biosensing efficiency. Noncovalently adsorbing IgGs is the first but decisive step to interact specifically with the Fc fragment, then following covalent conjugate can fix this uniform and antigens-favorable orientation irreversibly. In this review, we first categorized this stepwise strategy into two parts based on the different noncovalent interactions, namely adhesive layer-mediated interaction onto homofunctional support and layer-free interaction onto heterofunctional support (which displays several different functionalities on its surface that are capable to interact with IgGs). Further, the influence of ligands characteristics (synthesis strategies, spacer requirements and matrices selection) on the heterofunctional support has also been discussed. Finally, conclusions and future perspectives for the real-world application of stepwise covalent conjugation are discussed. This review provides more insights into the fabrication of high-efficiency immunosensor, and special attention has been devoted to the well-orientation of full-length IgGs onto the sensing platform.

Abstract
Among various protein post-translational modifications (PTMs), glycosylation has received special attention due to its immense role in molecular interactions, cellular signal transduction, immune response, etc. Aberration in glycan moieties of a glycoprotein is associated with cancer, diabetes, and bacterial and viral infections. In biofluids (plasma, saliva, urine, milk, etc.), glycoproteins are low in abundance and are masked by the presence of high abundant proteins. Hence, prior to their identification using mass spectrometry methods, liquid chromatography (LC)-based approaches were widely used. A general enrichment strategy involves a protein digestion step, followed by LC-based enrichment and desorption of glycopeptides, and enzymatic excision of the glycans. The focus of this review article is to highlight the articles published since 2016 that dealt with different LC-based approaches for glycopeptide and glycoprotein enrichment. The preparation of stationary phases, their surface activation, and ligand immobilization strategies have been discussed in detail. Finally, the major developments and future trends in the field have been summarized.

Abstract
AbstractThe
dynamic development of nanotechnology research has contributed to the fact that various types of nanoparticles are increasingly used on a large scale both for medical and biological purposes, but above all in many industrial fields. Such a wide application of nanoparticles is often connected with the need to estimate their characteristic parameters, such as size, size distribution or concentration. Existing instruments are usually quite expensive and not always available. Therefore, other cheaper and simpler methods based on analytical techniques are sought. In this paper, we have proposed a method to estimate the concentration of nanoparticles in solutions based on destabilization analyses of Pickering emulsions produced with their use. The fact of mutual relationship between emulsion concentration, nanoparticle concentration and emulsion stability was used here. The study was carried out using silica nanoparticles. It was presented how to apply the method and what are its limitations. Moreover, an example of its application for the determination of nanoparticle concentration in an unknown sample, obtained after analysis of the permeability of membranes in diffusion chambers, has been presented. The method can become a useful alternative for the determination of nanoparticle concentration in solution in places where no specialized equipment is available.

Abstract
This study aimed to systematically understand the magnetic properties of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles functionalized with different Pluronic F-127 surfactant concentrations (Fe3O4@Pluronic F-127) obtained by using an improved magnetic characterization method based on three-dimensional magnetic maps generated by scanning magnetic microscopy. Additionally, these Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@Pluronic F-127 nanoparticles, as promising systems for biomedical applications, were prepared by a wet chemical reaction. The magnetization curve was obtained through these three-dimensional maps, confirming that both Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@Pluronic F-127 nanoparticles have a superparamagnetic behavior. The as-prepared samples, stored at approximately 20 °C, showed no change in the magnetization curve even months after their generation, resulting in no nanoparticles free from oxidation, as Raman measurements have confirmed. Furthermore, by applying this magnetic technique, it was possible to estimate that the nanoparticles' magnetic core diameter was about 5 nm. Our results were confirmed by comparison with other techniques, namely as transmission electron microscopy imaging and diffraction together with Raman spectroscopy. Finally, these results, in addition to validating scanning magnetic microscopy, also highlight its potential for a detailed magnetic characterization of nanoparticles.

Design and synthesis of a novel nanocomposite based on magnetic dopamine nanoparticles for purification of α-amylase from the bovine milk. Sci Rep 2021; 11:13428.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel nanocomposite based on magnetic nanoparticles decorated by dopamine were reported. Three modified magnetic nanocomposites by dopamine were offered with different type of linkers. The mentioned magnetic nanocomposites were applied to separate α-amylase protein from fresh bovine milk. All of the magnetic nanocomposites were characterized and investigated by using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field-emission scanning microscope, X-ray diffraction pattern, and vibrating-sample magnetometer analyses. To investigate the purifying application, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, one-dimensional isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis, and alpha-amylase activity assay were employed. With paying attention to factors such as yield of purification and concentration of separated protein by each of magnetic nanocomposite, it could be concluded that the length of linkers played an important role in α-amylase protein separation. According to the results, the best separation and purification of α-amylase protein with 49.83% recovery and 40.11-fold purification efficiency was related to longest length linker, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, because of considerable conjugation with nanocomposite. Also, docking calculation has shown that the binding energy is - 1.697 kcal/mol and ΔG = - 6.844 kcal/mol which result that the interaction process between dopamine and α-amylase protein is spontaneous.
