The protein corona that develops on the surface of nanoparticles after administration has garnered substantial attention due to the significant effects it has on their performance. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) depend on protein corona formation to mediate their targeting. Such protein-nanoparticle interactions are often initially studied using in vitro cellular models aiming to eventually understand biodistribution and cargo delivery efficiency of the LNPs in vivo. For in vitro cell culture, fetal calf serum (FCS) is supplemented to culture media to provide nutrients and promote cell viability and growth. Heat inactivation of FCS is often performed to prevent complement system activation. However, the effect of this process on protein corona formation and, in turn, LNP functionality is unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of serum heat inactivation on protein corona formation on LNPs containing D-lin-MC3-DMA (MC3) or C12-200 (C12) ionizable lipids. Cellular uptake and siRNA delivery efficiency of the LNPs were determined in media containing untreated or heat-inactivated serum. Mechanistically, we found that apolipoprotein E, a protein corona component that is crucial for MC3 LNP tropism, displayed reduced stability and functionality upon heat inactivation of FCS, thereby negatively influencing uptake and cargo delivery of MC3 LNPs, but not C12 LNPs. Our results underline the importance of overlooked factors in in vitro experiments that can inadvertently affect LNP performance.

To address this problem, we developed a novel cellulose-based multicomponent adsorbent material (PGC) synthesized from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and investigated factors influencing its TC adsorption capacity. The synthesis process was optimized using parameters derived from the response surface methodology. The surface and structural properties of PGC were characterized, and the TC adsorption efficiency of PGC was assessed using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS). Elemental analysis of PGC identified four key mechanisms governing its endothermic TC adsorption mechanism: surface complexation, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and CH-π interactions, with surface complexation between Ca<sup>2+</sup> and TCs being dominant. Batch adsorption experiments conducted to examine the factors influencing adsorption capacity revealed that PGC achieved up to 70% TC removal efficiency at an adsorbent dosage of 40 mg and an initial TC concentration of 60 mg·L<sup>-1</sup> at pH 6-7, reaching equilibrium after 12 h. The surface characteristics and structural properties of PGC were determined using various material characterization techniques, including FTIR, SEM, EDX, and BET.

Under optimal experimental conditions, a maximum adsorption capacity (<i>q</i> <sub>m</sub>) of 123.2 mg·g<sup>-1</sup> was estimated using the Langmuir isotherm model.
