ALB and cancer: In a previous study, we have shown that miniature artificial proteinosome-based protocells, prepared by the spontaneous assembly and cross-linking of bovine serum albumin-NH2 (BSA-NH2) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) nanoconjugates, are an effective delivery vehicle for anti-miRNA cargoes for reprogramming of macrophages in a cancer microenvironment (López-Cuevas et al., 2022).
