Abstract:Pre-coating with a protein corona on the surface of nanomaterials (NMs) is an important strategy for reducing non-specific serum protein absorption while maintaining targeting specificity. Here, we present lipoic acid-terminated polyethylene glycol and transferrin bi-functionalized MoS2 nanosheets (Tf@MoS2-PEG NSs) as a feasible approach to enhance cellular uptake. Tf@MoS2-PEG NSs can maintain good dispersion stability in cell culture medium and effectively protect MoS2 NSs from oxidation in ambient aqueous co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
