A top-level description ofthe infrastructure, policy, funding,human capital development, andnanomedicine research outputs thathave emanated from South Africa ispresented.Keywords: nanomedicine;nanoparticle drug delivery;nanotechnology in South Africa;nanotechnology policy.Jonathan ShannahanThe biocorona: a challenge for thebiomedical application of nanoparticlesDOI 10.1515/ntrev-2016-0098Nanotechnol Rev 2017; 6(4): 345–353Nanotechnol Rev Review: When nanoparticles areplaced into a biological environmenttheir surface becomes coatedwith a variety of biomoleculesforming a biocorona. The redtriangles represent the first layerof biomolecules that interactwith the nanoparticle’s surfaceknown as the hard biocorona. Thegreen circles indicate the dynamicsecondary layer of macromoleculesinteracting with the hard biocoronawhich is termed the soft biocorona.Surrounding the nanoparticlebiocorona are the unique challengesand areas for future research.Overall, an understanding of theinteractions between biomoleculesand nanoparticles, biocoronamediated cellular interactions, andthe resulting biological responsesare necessary for the use of nanoenabled diagnostic tools
