Nanoarchitectonics to entrap living cells in silica-based systems: encapsulations with yolk–shell and sepiolite nanomaterials
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2023, 14, 522–534, doi:10.3762/bjnano.14.43
- present protocols. Keywords: biohybrids; cell immobilization; encapsulation; microorganism entrapment; silicates; Introduction Bio-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials with highly specific functionalities can be prepared following Nature’s design approaches [1]. A wide range of materials resulting from the
- , by inorganic components generated by sol–gel processes from silicon alkoxides is an illustrative example of biohybrids that display the extraordinary functionality inherent to the assembled living components. For instance, bacteria such as Escherichia coli maintain their metabolic activity entrapped
- for cancer treatment [31]. Results and Discussion Sepiolite–biopolymer microalgal biohybrids Sepiolite, a microfibrous hydrated magnesium silicate with the formula Si12O30Mg8(OH,F)4(H2O)4·8H2O [32][33][34], shows interesting surface properties and high viscosity [27][33][34][35]. These properties make
Effective intercalation of zein into Na-montmorillonite: role of the protein components and use of the developed biointerfaces
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2016, 7, 1772–1782, doi:10.3762/bjnano.7.170
- into the hydrophilic interlayer space of sodium-exchanged montmorillonite. In addition to physicochemical characterization of the resulting materials, these biohybrid interfaces were also evaluated as biofillers in the preparation of diverse ecofriendly nanocomposites. Keywords: biohybrids
- ]. Particularly, biological species can be employed in the preparation of these materials, giving rise to biohybrids, which represent a growing field of research addressed to produce advanced functional materials [2]. Many studies have demonstrated that even large molecules, such as polypeptides and proteins
- intercalation of gelatin into montmorillonite [4], other biohybrids also based on the assembly of smectite clays and proteins (e.g., bovine serum albumin, gelatin, casein or soy) have been vastly studied [5][6][7][8][9][10]. However, protein adsorption on montmorillonite clay can be considered a complex process
Antitumor magnetic hyperthermia induced by RGD-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles, in an experimental model of colorectal liver metastases
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2016, 7, 1532–1542, doi:10.3762/bjnano.7.147
- applicability toward diverse substrates is “click chemistry” [29][30]. Moreover, multistep reactions could be shortened by combining click chemistry with other conventional bioconjugation methods. Such strategies are commonly involved in the preparation of multifunctional nano-biohybrids with the advantage of
Nanobioarchitectures based on chlorophyll photopigment, artificial lipid bilayers and carbon nanotubes
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 2316–2325, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.240
- structures with single-walled carbon nanotubes. Different biophysical methods were employed to characterize these biohybrids such as: UV–vis absorption and emission spectroscopy, zeta potential measurements, AFM and chemiluminescence techniques. The designed, carbon-based biohybrids exhibited good physical
- same spectrofluorometer (using parallel and perpendicular polarizers) fitted with a biokinetic accessory, affording continuous monitoring of the temperature in the cuvette and magnetic stirring of the suspensions of liposomes and biohybrids. Slit widths of 7.5 and 4 nm were used for the excitation and
- antibacterial potential of the samples [37]. Sterile LBA plates were prepared by pouring the sterilized media into sterile Petri plates (diameter = 90 mm) under aseptic conditions. The sensitivity of the microorganism species to the biohybrids prepared was determined by measuring the size of inhibitory zones
