Abstract
In the past two decades, we have witnessed rapid developments in nanotechnology, especially in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, biosensing, and bioimaging. The most commonly used nanomaterials in biomedical applications are nanoparticles, which serve as carriers for various therapeutic and contrast reagents. Since nanomaterials are in direct contact with biological samples, biocompatibility is one of the most important issues for the fabrication and synthesis of nanomaterials for biomedical applications. To achieve specific recognition of biomolecules for targeted delivery and biomolecular sensing, it is common practice to engineer the surfaces of nanomaterials with recognition moieties. This mini-review summarizes different approaches for engineering the interfaces of nanomaterials to improve their biocompatibility and specific recognition properties. We also focus on design strategies that mimic biological systems such as cell membranes of red blood cells, leukocytes, platelets, cancer cells, and bacteria.

Abstract
Nanocarriers have been widely employed in preclinical studies and clinical trials for the delivery of anticancer drugs. The most important causes of failure in clinical translation of nanocarriers is their inefficient accumulation and penetration which arises from special characteristics of tumor microenvironment such as insufficient blood supply, dense extracellular matrix, and elevated interstitial fluid pressure. Various strategies such as engineering extracellular matrix, optimizing the physicochemical properties of nanocarriers have been proposed to increase the depth of tumor penetration; however, these strategies have not been very successful so far. Novel strategies such as transformable nanocarriers, transcellular transport of peptide-modified nanocarriers, and bio-inspired carriers have recently been emerged as an advanced generation of drug carriers. In this study, the latest developments of nanocarrier-based drug delivery to solid tumor are presented with their possible limitations. Then, the prospects of advanced drug delivery systems are discussed in detail.

Abstract
There is a growing need to enhance our capabilities in medical and environmental diagnostics. Synthetic biologists have begun to focus their biomolecular engineering approaches toward this goal, offering promising results that could lead to the development of new classes of inexpensive, rapidly deployable diagnostics. Many conventional diagnostics rely on antibody-based platforms that, although exquisitely sensitive, are slow and costly to generate and cannot readily confront rapidly emerging pathogens or be applied to orphan diseases. Synthetic biology, with its rational and short design-to-production cycles, has the potential to overcome many of these limitations. Synthetic biology devices, such as engineered gene circuits, bring new capabilities to molecular diagnostics, expanding the molecular detection palette, creating dynamic sensors, and untethering reactions from laboratory equipment. The field is also beginning to move toward in vivo diagnostics, which could provide near real-time surveillance of multiple pathological conditions. Here, we describe current efforts in synthetic biology, focusing on the translation of promising technologies into pragmatic diagnostic tools and platforms.

Abstract
Biomolecular nanostructures in nature are drawing increasing interests in the field of materials sciences. As a typical group of them, virus-based nanoparticles (VNPs), which are nanocages or nanorods assembled from capsid proteins of viruses, have been widely exploited as templates to guide the fabrication of complex nanoarchitectures (NAs), because of their appropriate sizes (ca. 20-200 nm), homogeneity, addressable functionalization, facile modification via chemical and genetic routes, and convenient preparation. Foreign materials can be positioned in the inner cavity or on the outer surface of VNPs, through either direct synthesis or assembling preformed nanomaterials. Simultaneous use of the inner and outer space of VNPs facilitates integration of multiple functionalities in a single NA. This review briefly summarizes the strategies for fabrication of NAs templated by VNPs and wide applications of these NAs in fields of catalysis, energy, biomedicine, and nanophotonics, etc.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adenovirus (Ad) is a promising candidate vector for cancer gene therapy because of its unique characteristics, which include efficient infection, high loading capacity and lack of insertional mutagenesis. However, systemic administration of Ad is hampered by the host's immune response, hepatocytoxicity, short half-life of the vector and low accumulation at the target site. For these reasons, clinical applications of Ad are currently restricted. AREAS COVERED In this review, we focus on recent developments in Ad nanocomplex systems that improve the transduction and targeting efficacy of Ad vectors in cancer gene therapy. We discuss the development of different Ad delivery systems, including surface modification of Ad, smart Ad/nanohybrid systems and hydrogels for sustained release of Ad. EXPERT OPINION The fusion of bioengineering and biopharmaceutical technologies can provide solutions to the obstacles encountered during systemic delivery of Ads. The in vivo transgene expression efficiency of Ad nanocomplex systems is typically high, and animal tumor models demonstrate that systemic administration of these Ad complexes can arrest tumor growth. However, further optimization of these smart Ad nanocomplex systems is needed to increase their effectiveness and safety for clinical application in cancer gene therapy.

Abstract
An often overlooked issue in the field of adenovirus (Ad)-mediated cancer gene therapy is its limited capacity for effective systemic delivery. Although primary tumors can be treated effectively with intralesional injection of conventional Ad vectors, systemic metastasis is difficult to cure. Systemic administration of conventional naked Ads leads to acute accumulation of Ad particles in the liver, induction of neutralizing antibody, short blood circulation half-life, non-specific biodistribution in undesired organs, and low selective accumulation in the target disease site. Versatile strategies involving the modification of viral surfaces with polymers and nanomaterials have been designed for the purpose of maximizing Ad anti-tumor activity and specificity by systemic administration. Integration of viral and non-viral nanomaterials will substantially advance both fields, creating new concepts in gene therapeutics. This review focuses on current advances in the development of smart Ad hybrid nanocomplexes based on various design-based strategies for optimal Ad systemic administration.

Abstract
Chemically and/or genetically engineered viruses, viral capsids and viral-like particles carry the promise of important and diverse applications in biomedicine, biotechnology and nanotechnology. Potential uses include new vaccines, vectors for gene therapy and targeted drug delivery, contrast agents for molecular imaging and building blocks for the construction of nanostructured materials and electronic nanodevices. For many of the contemplated applications, the improvement of the physical stability of viral particles may be critical to adequately meet the demanding physicochemical conditions they may encounter during production, storage and/or medical or industrial use. The first part of this review attempts to provide an updated general overview of the fast-moving, interdisciplinary virus engineering field; the second part focuses specifically on the modification of the physical stability of viral particles by protein engineering, an emerging subject that has not been reviewed before.

Abstract
The current review describes advances in the field of bionanotechnology in which viruses are used to fabricate nanomaterials. Viruses are introduced as protein cages, scaffolds, and templates for the production of biohybrid nanostructured materials where organic and inorganic molecules are incorporated in a precise and a controlled fashion. Genetic engineering enables the insertion or replacement of selected amino acids on virus capsids for uses from bioconjugation to crystal growth. The variety of nanomaterials generated in rod-like and spherical viruses is highlighted for tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), M13 bacteriophage, cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), and cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV). Functional biohybrid nanomaterials find applications in biosensing, memory devices, nanocircuits, light-harvesting systems, and nanobatteries.

Abstract
Recent developments in isolation and characterization of tumor stem cells (TSCs) have opened new possibilities for developing TSC-targeted therapies. Extensive efforts have been made to ascertain markers of TSCs, including cell surface, enzymatic, gene expression profile, and functional markers. These markers and the technologies used to identify and isolate TSCs are discussed in this review. TSC characteristics, such as quiescence, multidrug resistance, enhanced DNA repair ability, and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, and various features of the in vivo niche, which may make them resistant to conventional therapy, are also discussed here. The increasing understanding of aberrantly expressed molecules and signaling pathways in TSCs may provide the foundation for design of therapeutic strategies for TSC ablation.

Abstract
Novel combinatorial treatment strategies are desired to achieve tumor eradication. In this regard, nanotechnology and gene therapy hold the potential to expand the available tumor treatment options. In particular, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been utilized for hyperthermic tumor cell ablation. Similarly, adenoviral (Ad) vectors have been utilized for targeting, imaging, and cancer gene therapy. Thus, to combine AuNP-mediated hyperthermia with Ad vector-based gene therapy, we have previously coupled AuNPs to Ad vectors. Herein we tested the capability of these AuNP-coupled Ad vectors for hyperthermic tumor cell ablation. Towards this end, we compared absorption characteristics of different sized AuNPs and determined that in our system 20 nm diameter AuNPs are suitable for laser induced hyperthermic tumor cell killing. In addition, we observed that AuNPs outside and inside the cell contribute differentially towards hyperthermia induction. Unfortunately, due to the limitation of delivery of required amounts of AuNPs to cells, we observed that AuNP-coupled Ad vectors are unable to kill tumor cells via hyperthermia. However, with future technological advances, it may become possible to realize the potential of the multifunctional AuNP-coupled Ad vector system for simultaneous targeting, imaging, and combined hyperthermia and gene therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) have primarily been developed as fluorescent probes with unique optical properties. We herein demonstrate an extension of these QD utilities to photoacoustic (PA) and photothermal (PT) microscopy, using a nanosecond pulse laser excitation (420-900 nm, 8 ns, 10(-3)-10 J/cm(2)). The laser-induced PA, PT and accompanying bubble formation phenomena were studied with an advanced multifunctional microscope, which integrates fluorescence, PA, PT imaging, and PT thermolens modules. It was demonstrated that QDs, in addition to being excellent fluorescent probes, can be used as PA and PT contrast agents and sensitizers, thereby providing an opportunity for multimodal high resolution (300 nm) PA-PT-fluorescent imaging as well as PT therapy. Further improvements for this technology are suggested by increasing the conversion of laser energy in PT, PA, and bubble phenomena in hybrid multilayer QDs that have optimized absorption, thermal, and acoustic properties.
