Personalized protein corona on nanoparticles and its clinical implications
It is increasingly being accepted that the protein corona is strongly affected by the patient's specific disease. Therefore, the same nanomaterial incubated with plasma proteins of patients with different pathologies adsorb protein coronas with different compositions, giving rise to the concept of personalized protein corona.

Bioinks for 3D bioprinting: an overview
Bioprinting is an emerging technology with various applications in making functional tissue constructs to replace injured or diseased tissues. In all bioprinting strategies, the bioinks are an essential component. We provide an in-depth discussion of the different bioinks currently employed for bioprinting, and outline some future perspectives in their further development.
