title: Human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles stabilized with intermolecular disulfide bonds.
abstract: We have presented a self-cross-link strategy to fabricate HSA nanoparticles using a desolvation method. The nanoparticles were stabilized by intermolecular disulfide bonds while still dissolvable in reducing media. The fabrication process does not involve any toxic chemicals and hence the nanoparticles may be useful as a drug carrier.
