| Abstract | The combination of nanoparticle (NP) size, charge, and surface chemistry (e.g. extent of modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG)) is accepted as a key determinant of NP/cellular interactions. However, the influence of spatial arrangement and accessibility of the charged molecules on the NP surface vis-à-vis the average surface charge (zeta potential) is incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that two types of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNP) that are matched in terms of primary and hydrodynamic particle size, shape, pore structure, colloidal stability, and zeta potential, but differ in surface chemistry, viz. the spatial arrangement and relative exposure of surface amines, have profoundly different interactions with cells and tissues when evaluated in vitro and in vivo. While both particles are ~50 nm in diameter, PEGylated, and positively charged (ζ = +40mV), PEG-PEI (MSNPs modified with exposed polyamines), but not PEG-NMe3 + (MSNP modified with distributed, obstructed amines) rapidly bind serum proteins, diverse cells types in vitro, and endothelial and white blood cells in vivo (ex ovo chick embryo model). This finding helps elucidate the relative role of surface exposure of charged molecules vs zeta potential in otherwise physicochemically matched MSNP and highlights protein corona neutrality as an important design consideration when synthesizing cationic NPs for biological applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
