Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of the Protein Corona: The Interface between Nanoparticles and the Immune System.
Francesco Barbero,Lorenzo Russo,Michele Vitali,Jordi Piella,Ignacio Salvo,Mireya L. Borrajo,Martí Busquets-Fité,Rita Grandori,Neus G. Bastús,Eudald Casals,Víctor F. Puntes,Víctor F. Puntes +11 more
TL;DR: The formation of this Protein Corona depends not only on the composition of the nanoparticle, its size, shape, surface state and exposure time, but also on the type of media, nanoparticle to protein ratio and the presence of ion species that interfere in the interaction between proteins and nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addressing Nanomaterial Immunosafety by Evaluating Innate Immunity across Living Species.
Diana Boraschi,Andi Alijagic,Manon Auguste,Francesco Barbero,Eleonora Ferrari,Szabolcs Hernadi,Craig Mayall,Sara Michelini,Natividad Isabel Navarro Pacheco,Alessandra Prinelli,Elmer Swart,Benjamin J Swartzwelter,Neus G. Bastús,Laura Canesi,Damjana Drobne,Albert Duschl,Marie-Ann Ewart,Jutta Horejs-Hoeck,Paola Italiani,Birgit Kemmerling,Peter Kille,Petra Procházková,Víctor F. Puntes,David J. Spurgeon,Claus Svendsen,Colin J. Wilde,Annalisa Pinsino +26 more
TL;DR: The interaction of NM with one of the major biological systems deputed to recognition of and response to foreign challenges, i.e., the immune system, is specifically addressed and the main focus is innate immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cationic liposomal vectors incorporating a bolaamphiphile for oligonucleotide antimicrobials.
Marianna Mamusa,Leopoldo Sitia,Francesco Barbero,Angels Ruyra,Teresa Díaz Calvo,Costanza Montis,Ana González-Paredes,Grant N. Wheeler,Christopher J. Morris,Michael McArthur,Debora Berti +10 more
TL;DR: A physical-chemical study to investigate how the incorporation of 12-bis-THA and TFD affects the structure of POPC- and POPC/DOPE liposomes appears as promising formulations for TFD delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold Nanoparticles Modulate BCG-Induced Innate Immune Memory in Human Monocytes by Shifting the Memory Response towards Tolerance
Benjamin J Swartzwelter,Francesco Barbero,Alessandro Verde,Maria Mangini,Marinella Pirozzi,Anna Chiara De Luca,Víctor F. Puntes,Luciana C. C. Leite,Paola Italiani,Diana Boraschi +9 more
TL;DR: While ineffective in directly inducing innate memory per se, and unable to influence LPS-induced tolerance memory, AuNP significantly affected the memory response of BCG-primed cells, by inhibiting the secondary response in terms of both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factor production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold nanoparticles coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone and sea urchin extracellular molecules induce transient immune activation.
Andi Alijagic,Francesco Barbero,Daniela Gaglio,Elisabetta Napodano,Oldřich Benada,Olga Kofroňová,Víctor F. Puntes,Neus G. Bastús,Annalisa Pinsino +8 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the immunogenicity of colloidal gold nanoparticles coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-AuNPs) in a model organism, the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, can function as a proxy for humans for in vitro immunological studies.
