Abstract:Background
Nanoparticles (NPs) decorated with functional ligands (e.g., antibodies) are promising candidates for cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, many studies have shown that chemically coupled targeting moieties on NPs lose their targeting capability in biological milieu because they are shielded or covered by a "protein corona". It is highly desirable to increase the proportion of targeting moieties on the surface of NP-corona complex for purposes of cancer therapy.

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.
