Controllable Engineering and Functionalizing of Nanoparticles for Targeting Specific Proteins towards Biomedical Applications (Adv. Sci. 24/2021)

Molecular Imprinting Approach Targeting specific proteins by nanoparticles holds significant values in biomedical applications. In article number 2101713, Zhen Liu and coworkers develop a new molecular imprinting approach, which allows for facile, versatile and controllable engineering coreless and core/shell nanoparticles with tunable monodispersed size and targeting towards specific proteins. In vitro and in vivo targeted imaging is demonstrated.
