Journal ArticleDOI
Glyconanoparticles as multifunctional and multimodal carbohydrate systems
TL;DR: This review focuses on the rational design of glyconanoparticles as scaffolds for combining different ligands and survey the most recent examples of gly Conanop articles as both multivalent carbohydrate systems and probes for molecular imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular Uptake of Nanoparticles versus Small Molecules: A Matter of Size.
TL;DR: Particular attention is paid to approaches that allow conditional regulation of the cell internalization process using external triggers, such as activable cell penetrating peptides, due to the impact these systems may have in drug delivery and sensing applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invisible floral larcenies: microbial communities degrade floral nectar of bumble bee-pollinated plants
TL;DR: The results provide compelling evidence that nectar microbial communities can have detrimental effects on plants and/or pollinators via extensive nectar degradation and also call for a more careful interpretation of nectar traits in the future, if uncontrolled for yeasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycans as biofunctional ligands for gold nanorods: stability and targeting in protein-rich media.

TL;DR: Glycan-coated NPs are resistant to adsorption of proteins from serum-containing media and avoid phagocytosis by macrophage-like cells, but retain selectivity toward carbohydrate-binding proteins in protein-rich biological media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticles as Nonviral Gene Delivery Vectors
TL;DR: The biological aspects involved in the gene delivery process are presented and the recent developments and achievements of nonviral gene carriers are explored.
