Abstract
Smart nanoparticles, which can respond to biological cues or be guided by them, are emerging as a promising drug delivery platform for precise cancer treatment. The field of oncology, nanotechnology, and biomedicine has witnessed rapid progress, leading to innovative developments in smart nanoparticles for safer and more effective cancer therapy. In this review, we will highlight recent advancements in smart nanoparticles, including polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, micelles, liposomes, protein nanoparticles, cell membrane nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, iron oxide nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, black phosphorus, MOF nanoparticles, and others. We will focus on their classification, structures, synthesis, and intelligent features. These smart nanoparticles possess the ability to respond to various external and internal stimuli, such as enzymes, pH, temperature, optics, and magnetism, making them intelligent systems. Additionally, this review will explore the latest studies on tumor targeting by functionalizing the surfaces of smart nanoparticles with tumor-specific ligands like antibodies, peptides, transferrin, and folic acid. We will also summarize different types of drug delivery options, including small molecules, peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and even living cells, for their potential use in cancer therapy. While the potential of smart nanoparticles is promising, we will also acknowledge the challenges and clinical prospects associated with their use. Finally, we will propose a blueprint that involves the use of artificial intelligence-powered nanoparticles in cancer treatment applications. By harnessing the potential of smart nanoparticles, this review aims to usher in a new era of precise and personalized cancer therapy, providing patients with individualized treatment options.

Abstract
Salt concentration and confinement effects affect the configuration of polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes due to electrostatic interactions. In this work, we develop a new theoretical model to analyze the electrostatics and swelling-shrinking behavior of two opposing PE brushes. By comparing three length scales, i.e., equilibrium brush height, separation distance, and Debye length, we obtain distinct scaling laws for brush height in different regimes. We provide explanations for the anomalous shrinkage of the PE brush with added salt reported in experiments and simulations, the applicability of the homogeneous brush assumption, and the confinement effect on the brush height. Our model can be used to shed light on the configuration and functionalities of PE-grafted interfaces, which play important roles in ion selective membranes and organism lubrication. We also anticipate that our method will be useful to understand the functionalities of other charged soft matter systems, such as hydrogel swelling and colloidal stability.

Abstract
This review article is addressed to a broad community of polymer scientists. We outline and analyse the fundamentals of the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation method from the point of view of polymer physics and review the articles on polymer systems published in approximately the last two decades, focusing on their impact on macromolecular science. Special attention is devoted to polymer and polyelectrolyte self- and co-assembly and self-organisation and to the problems connected with the implementation of explicit electrostatics in DPD numerical machinery. Critical analysis of the results of a number of successful DPD studies of complex polymer systems published recently documents the importance and suitability of this coarse-grained method for studying polymer systems.

Abstract
The fabrication of collagen-based biomaterials for skin regeneration offers various challenges for tissue engineers. The purpose of this study was to obtain a novel series of composite biomaterials based on collagen and several types of clays. In order to investigate the influence of clay type on drug release behavior, the obtained collagen-based composite materials were further loaded with gentamicin. Physiochemical and biological analyses were performed to analyze the obtained nanocomposite materials after nanoclay embedding. Infrared spectra confirmed the inclusion of clay in the collagen polymeric matrix without any denaturation of triple helical conformation. All the composite samples revealed a slight change in the 2-theta values pointing toward a homogenous distribution of clay layers inside the collagen matrix with the obtaining of mainly intercalated collagen-clay structures, according X-ray diffraction analyses. The porosity of collagen/clay composite biomaterials varied depending on clay nanoparticles sort. Thermo-mechanical analyses indicated enhanced thermal and mechanical features for collagen composites as compared with neat type II collagen matrix. Biodegradation findings were supported by swelling studies, which indicated a more crosslinked structure due additional H bonding brought on by nanoclays. The biology tests demonstrated the influence of clay type on cellular viability but also on the antimicrobial behavior of composite scaffolds. All nanocomposite samples presented a delayed gentamicin release when compared with the collagen-gentamicin sample. The obtained results highlighted the importance of clay type selection as this affects the performances of the collagen-based composites as promising biomaterials for future applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Efficacious cancer treatment largely relies on accurate imaging diagnosis and imaging-guided surgery, which can be achieved by combining different mode imaging probes on one single nanoplatform. Herein, a novel radiolabeled NIR-II nanoprobe (125I-MT NP) was developed to enable versatile single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence dual-modal imaging against breast cancer. 125I-MT was precipitated with an amphiphilic triblock copolymer (PEO-PPO-PEO) to form 125I-MT NPs. The 125I-MT NPs exhibited high labeling efficiency (98 ± 2%) with a hydrodynamic diameter of 91.3 ± 5.5 nm. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that 125I-MT NPs emitted intensive NIR-II fluorescence and SPECT signals, and possessed good biocompatibility. By using a breast tumor xenograft mouse model after intravenous injection of 125I-MT NPs, the SPECT imaging and NIR-II imaging showed clear images of tumor tissues at 8 h and 48 h postinjection, respectively, suggesting the feasibility of using 125I-MT NPs to detect tumors before surgery and visualize the dissection area during surgery. In addition, the SPECT scan of a lymph node mapping was performed at 1 h postinjection and NIR-II fluorescence imaging was carried out at 4 h postinjection. This further guarantees the accurate imaging of lymph nodes before and during surgery for lymphadenectomy. Overall 125I-MT NP is a promising, practical imaging probe for sequential imaging and precision cancer therapy.

Abstract
Burst release of encapsulated drug with release of a significant fraction of payload into release medium within a short period, both in vitro and in vivo, remains a challenge for translation. Such unpredictable and uncontrolled release is often undesirable, especially from the perspective of developing sustained-release formulations. Moreover, a brisk release of the payload upsets optimal release kinetics. This account strives toward understanding burst release noticed in nanocarriers and investigates its causes. Various mathematical models to explain such untimely release were also examined, including their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the account revisits current techniques of limiting burst release from nanocarriers and prioritizes future directions that harbor potential of fruitful translation by reducing such occurrences.

Abstract
Weak polyampholytes, containing oppositely charged dissociable groups, are expected to be responsive to changes in ionic conditions. Here, we determine structural and thermodynamic properties, including the charged groups' degrees of dissociation, of end-tethered weak polyampholyte layers as a function of salt concentration, pH, and the solvent quality. For diblock weak polyampholytes grafted by their acidic blocks, we find that the acidic monomers increase their charge while the basic monomers decrease their charge with decreasing salt concentration for pH values less than the pKa value of both monomers and vice versa when the pH > pKa. This complex charge regulation occurs because the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged blocks is stronger than the repulsion between monomers with the same charge in both good and poor solvents when the screening by salt ions is weak. This is evidenced by the retraction of the top block into the bottom layer. In the case of poor solvent conditions to the basic block (the top block), we find lateral segregation of basic monomers into micelles, forming a two-dimensional hexagonal pattern on the surface at intermediate and high pH values for monovalent salt concentrations from 0.01 to 0.1 M. When the solvent is poor to both blocks, we find lateral segregation of the grafted acidic block into lamellae with longitudinal undulations of low and high acidic monomer density. By exploiting weak block polyampholytes, our work expands the parameter space for creating responsive surfaces stable over a wide range of pH and salt concentration.

Abstract
In recent years, nano drug delivery system has been widely concerned because of its good therapeutic effect. However, the process from blood circulation to cancer cell release of nanodrugs will be eliminated by the human body's own defense trap, thus reducing the therapeutic effect. In recent years, a "3S" transition concept, including stability transition, surface transition and size transition, was proposed to overcome the barriers in delivery process. Hyaluronic (HA) acid has been widely used in delivery of anticancer drugs due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and specific targeting to cancer cells. In this paper, the strategies and methods of HA-based nanomaterials using "3S" theory are reviewed. The applications and effects of "3S" modified nanomaterials in various fields are also introduced.

[PMID: 32143509 PMCID: PMC7182850 DOI: 10.3390/polym12030566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2019] [Revised: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 02/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Adsorption and desorption of proteins on biomaterial surfaces play a critical role in numerous biomedical applications. Spherical diblock polymer brushes (polystyrene with photoiniferter (PSV) as the core) with different block sequence, poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(N-(2-hydroxyethyl) acrylamide) (PSV@PAA-b-PHEAA) and poly(N-(2-hydroxyethyl) acrylamide)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PSV@PHEAA-b-PAA) were prepared via surface-initiated photoiniferter-mediated polymerization (SI-PIMP) and confirmed by a series of characterizations including TEM, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and elemental analysis. Both diblock polymer brushes show typical pH-dependent properties measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Zeta potential. It is interesting to find out that conformation of PSV@PAA-b-PHEAA uniquely change with pH values, which is due to cooperation of electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance. High-resolution turbidimetric titration was applied to explore the behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding to diblock polymer brushes, and the protein adsorption could be tuned by the existence of PHEAA as well as apparent PAA density. These studies laid a theoretical foundation for design of diblock polymer brushes and a possible application in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles have tremendous potential to improve the efficacy of therapeutic cancer treatments by facilitating targeted delivery to a desired site. The physical and chemical properties of polymers can be tuned to accomplish delivery across the multiple biological barriers required to reach diverse subsets of cells. The use of biodegradable polymers as nanocarriers is especially attractive, as these materials can be designed to break down in physiological conditions and engineered to exhibit triggered functionality when at a particular location or activated by an external source. We present how biodegradable polymers can be engineered as drug delivery systems to target the tumor microenvironment in multiple ways. These nanomedicines can target cancer cells directly, the blood vessels that supply the nutrients and oxygen that support tumor growth, and immune cells to promote anticancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Current cancer nanomedicines can only mitigate adverse effects but fail to enhance therapeutic efficacies of anticancer drugs. Rational design of next-generation cancer nanomedicines should aim to enhance their therapeutic efficacies. Taking this into account, this review first analyzes the typical cancer-drug-delivery process of an intravenously administered nanomedicine and concludes that the delivery involves a five-step CAPIR cascade and that high efficiency at every step is critical to guarantee high overall therapeutic efficiency. Further analysis shows that the nanoproperties needed in each step for a nanomedicine to maximize its efficiency are different and even opposing in different steps, particularly what the authors call the PEG, surface-charge, size and stability dilemmas. To resolve those dilemmas in order to integrate all needed nanoproperties into one nanomedicine, stability, surface and size nanoproperty transitions (3S transitions for short) are proposed and the reported strategies to realize these transitions are comprehensively summarized. Examples of nanomedicines capable of the 3S transitions are discussed, as are future research directions to design high-performance cancer nanomedicines and their clinical translations.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to prepare and characterize bioglass-natural biopolymer based composite scaffold and evaluate its bone regeneration ability. Bioactive glass nanoparticles (58S) in the size range of 20-30 nm were synthesized using sol-gel method. Porous scaffolds with varying bioglass composition from 10 to 30 wt% in chitosan, gelatin matrix were fabricated using the method of freeze drying of its slurry at 40 wt% solids loading. Samples were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to obtain interconnected porous 3D microstructure with improved mechanical strength. The prepared scaffolds exhibited >80% porosity with a mean pore size range between 100 and 300 microns. Scaffold containing 30 wt% bioglass (GCB 30) showed a maximum compressive strength of 2.2 ± 0.1 MPa. Swelling and degradation studies showed that the scaffold had excellent properties of hydrophilicity and biodegradability. GCB 30 scaffold was shown to be noncytotoxic and supported mesenchymal stem cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation as indicated by MTT assay and RUNX-2 expression. Higher cellular activity was observed in GCB 30 scaffold as compared to GCB 0 scaffold suggesting the fact that 58S bioglass nanoparticles addition into the scaffold promoted better cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Thus, the study showed that the developed composite scaffolds are potential candidates for regenerating damaged bone tissue.

Abstract
The microstructures of doxorubicin-loaded micelles prepared from block polymers His(x)Lys10 (x = 0, 5, 10) conjugated with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are investigated under different pH conditions, using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. The conformation of micelles and the DOX distributions in micelles were obviously influenced by pH values and the length of the histidine segment. At pH >6.0, the micelles self-assembled from the polymers were dense and compact. The drugs were entrapped well within the micellar core. The particle size increases as the histidine length increases. With the decrease of pH value to be lower than 6.0, there was no distinct difference for the micelles self-assembled from the polymer without histidine residues. However, the micelles prepared from the polymers with histidine residues shows a structural transformation from dense to swollen conformation, leading to an increased particle size from 10.3 to 14.5 DPD units for DHD-His10Lys10 micelles. This structural transformation of micelles can accelerate the DOX release from micelles under lower pH conditions. The in vitro drug release from micelles is accelerated by the decrease of pH value from 7.4 (physiological environment) to 5.0 (lysosomal environment). The integration of simulation and experiments might be a valuable method for the optimization and design of biomaterials for drug delivery with desired properties.

Abstract
How to control the release of drugs from pH-sensitive polymeric micelles is an issue of common concern, which is important to the effectiveness of the micelles. The components and properties of polymers can notably influence the drug distributions inside micelles which is a key factor that affects the drug release from the micelles. In this work, the dissipative particle dynamics simulation method is first used to study the structural transformation of micelles during the protonation process and the drug release process from micelles with different drug distributions. And then the effects of polymer structures, including different lengths of hydrophilic blocks, pH-sensitive blocks and hydrophobic blocks, on drug release are also studied. In the end, several corresponding design principles of pH-sensitive polymers for drug delivery are proposed according to the simulation results. This work is in favor of establishing qualitative rules for the design and optimization of congener polymers for desired drug delivery, which is of great significance to provide a potential approach for the development of new multiblock pH-sensitive polymeric micelles.

Abstract
The surface charge of a nanostructure plays a critical role in modulating blood circulation time, nanostructure-cell interaction, and intracellular events. It is unfavorable to have positive charges on the nanostructure surface before arriving at the disease site because positively charged nanostructures interact strongly with blood components, resulting in rapid clearance from the blood, and suboptimal targeted accumulation at the tumor site. Once at the tumor site, however, the positive charge on the nanostructure surface accelerates uptake by tumor cells and promotes the release of payloads from the lysosomes to the cytosol or nucleus inside cells. Thus, the ideal nanocarrier systems for drug delivery would maintain a neutral or negatively charged surface during blood circulation but would then generate a positive surface charge after accumulation at the tumor site or inside the cancer cells. This Progress Report focuses on the design and application of various neutral or negatively charged nanostructures that can generate a positive charge in response to the tumor microenvironment or an external stimulus.

Abstract
Amphiphilic A2(BC)2 miktoarm star polymers [poly(ϵ-caprolactone)]2-[poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-b- poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)]2 [(PCL)2(PDEA-b-PPEGMA)2] were developed by a combination of ring opening polymerization (ROP) and continuous activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values were extremely low (0.0024 to 0.0043 mg/mL), depending on the architecture of the polymers. The self-assembled empty and doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded micelles were spherical in morphologies, and the average sizes were about 63 and 110 nm. The release of DOX at pH 5.0 was much faster than that at pH 6.5 and pH 7.4. Moreover, DOX-loaded micelles could effectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells HepG2 with IC50 of 2.0 μg/mL. Intracellular uptake demonstrated that DOX was delivered into the cells effectively after the cells were incubated with DOX-loaded micelles. Therefore, the pH-sensitive (PCL)2(PDEA-b-PPEGMA)2 micelles could be a prospective candidate as anticancer drug carrier for hydrophobic drugs with sustained release behavior.

Abstract
Nanoengineered drug delivery systems (nDDS) have been successfully used as clinical tools for not only modulation of pharmacological drug release profile but also specific targeting of diseased tissues. Until now, encapsulation of anti-cancer molecules such as paclitaxel, vincristin and doxorubicin has been the main target of nDDS, whereby liposomes and polymer-drug conjugates remained as the most popular group of nDDS used for this purpose. The success reached by these nanocarriers can be imitated by careful selection and optimization of the different factors that affect drug release profile (i.e. type of biomaterial, size, system architecture, and biodegradability mechanisms) along with the selection of an appropriate manufacture technique that does not compromise the desired release profile, while it also offers possibilities to scale up for future industrialization. This review focuses from an engineering perspective on the different parameters that should be considered before and during the design of new nDDS, and the different manufacturing techniques available, in such a way to ensure success in clinical application.
