Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: In article number 1901830, Ren Wang, Ashok R. Patel, and co-workers fabricate all-natural edible protein-based nanostructures with tunable mesostructures easily transformed from 3D nanonets to 2D thin sheets and to nanoparticles by simply dissolving casein micelles and various amounts of rice proteins in an alkaline solution (pH 12) prior to neutralization. The nanostructures can realize controlled bioavailability of encapsulated drugs.
