interaction of nanoparticles with proteins

How Does the Protein Corona Affect Nanoparticles?

The formation of the protein corona can impact the nanoparticles in several ways:
1. Stability: It can enhance the stability of nanoparticles by preventing aggregation.
2. Cell Uptake: The protein corona can mediate the recognition and uptake of nanoparticles by cells, influencing their internalization and trafficking.
3. Immune Response: The corona can mask the nanoparticles, reducing their immunogenicity, or alternatively, it can elicit an immune response depending on the composition of the adsorbed proteins.
