“…It should be added here, however, that in parallel to the RNA‐stabilized nanorings with superior pH stability and dispersal, also a number of engineered TMV CP types have been developed that allow the fabrication of similarly robust disks devoid of RNA, due to enhanced CP‐CP interactions (Bruckman et al, ; Dedeo et al, ; Finbloom et al, ; J. Zhang, Wang, Zhou, Chen, & Wang, ; J. Zhang, Zhou, & Wang, ; Zhou, Li, Dai, Meng, & Wang, ). Although several of them show an increased propensity for aggregation under certain conditions, they reflect the high interest in such bionanostructures for various further purposes, including vaccination, delivery of biopharmaceuticals and intravital imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance contrast agents, plasmonics and energy transfer (see Altintoprak et al, for an overview and Eiben et al, and the above references for details on the applications).…”
