4.5 nm nanoceria particles are successfully encapsulated into the apoferritin cavity via a dissociation-reconstruction route. The apoferritin coating not only improves the biocompatibility and changes the cellular uptake route of nanoceria, but also manipulates the electron localization at the surface of the nanoparticle thereby ameliorating the ROS-scavenging activity.
4.5nm 纳米氧化铈颗粒成功地通过解组装-再组装途径被包裹到脱铁铁蛋白空腔中。脱铁铁蛋白的包覆不仅提高了纳米氧化铈的生物相容性并改变了其细胞摄取途径,而且还能调控纳米颗粒表面的电子局域化,从而改善其 ROS 清除活性。
