Nanoerythrosomes are artificial vesicle-like objects formed from erythrocyte-membranes, named ghosts, by physical processes, such as extrusion or sonication. Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and sphingomyelins (SMs) are outer membrane constituents, while phosphatidylserines (PSs) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PEs) generally take place on the inner side of the membrane-bilayer. By addition of different artificial lipids, very different size-ranges of nanoerythrosomes can be achieved, therefore proper reference materials and drug delivery systems with adequate surface chemical behaviour can be prepared [1]. The presence of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) results in the formation of larger nanoerythrosomes, while the addition of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) induces the formation in a middle-range (140 -160 nm). The presence of the mixture of DPPC - LPC (lysophosphatidylcholine) causes bicelle – micelle type nanoparticles [2]. Here we show that in the complex physic-chemical study, among the different experimental methods (transmission electron-microscopy combined with freeze-fracture (FF-TEM), Microfluidic Resistive Pulse Sensing (MRPS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) turned out to be a powerful tool in the complex physic-chemical study of this drug delivery system.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), spontaneously released by cells, play an important role in intercellular communication. Due to their special size and composition (lipid bilayer-bounded nanosystems, usually smaller than 200 nm, containing both proteins and RNA), they play diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic roles, for example, they can be "new generation" biomarkers of various diseases.

IR spectroscopy, especially attenuated total reflection (ATR), is rapidly emerging as a label-free promising tool for molecular profiling of EVs. However, the relative low number of extracellular vesicles (~10¹⁰ particle/mL) and possible impurities (protein aggregates, lipoproteins, buffer molecules, etc.) present in EV samples might result in poor signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. The plasmonic properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are used in many characterization techniques, inclusive characterization and testing of EVs. Surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy (SEIRA – Surface-enhanced IR absorption) using plasmonic nanoparticle, however, is still an unexploited method.

Nanosized gold nanoparticles and tailored nanostructures with confined electromagnetic near-fields were prepared, characterized and tested with model-EVs (EV-like liposomes) and red blood cell derived EVs. A concentration dependent interaction was established between the citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles and the lipid bilayers, which strongly affected both the plasmonic behaviour of AuNPs and the bilayers lipid organization. At appropriate extracellular vesicle – gold nanoparticle ratio a 6-fold maximum enhancement was obtained in the lipid spectral signatures. Exploiting the fine details of EV – gold nanoparticles interaction, further surface modifications of gold nanoobjects are planned, enhancing the sensitivity and specificity of EV detection enabling a strong platform for IR spectroscopic investigations of EVs.
