TL;DR: Water soluble, biocompatible gold nanoparticles of differing size functionalized with the HIV-1 tat PTD are developed with the aim of producing nuclear targeting agents and results demonstrate successful nanoparticle transfer across the plasma membrane.

TL;DR: The importance of nanoparticle functionalization for the improvement of sensitivity for a lateral-flow immunoassay is reported and it is found that immobilization of IgG anti-hCG through its polysaccharide moieties on MNPs allows more successful recognition of the hCG hormone.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that nanoparticles clearly interacted with the cells, showing a higher level of accumulation in the cells for glucose conjugated nanoparticles, which enhances the superparamagnetic behaviour observed above 10-15 K in this kind of nanoparticle.

TL;DR: In this article, the interaction of the silk fibroin nanoparticles (SFNs) with the injured intestinal tissue by functionalizing them with the peptide motif RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) and to evaluate the intestinal anti-inflammatory properties of these RGD-functionalized silk fiber-SFNs in the trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) model of rat colitis.

TL;DR: The promising behaviour of drug-loaded nanocarriers will hopefully lead to a reduction of the administered doses of a quite dangerous drug as bedaquiline, tuning its biodistribution and so decreasing its adverse effects, finally allowing its use in a higher number of patients.
