Abstract
The unique biophysical and biochemical properties of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and their recombinant derivatives, intrinsically disordered protein polymers (IDPPs) offer opportunities for producing multistimuli-responsive materials; their sequence-encoded disorder and tendency for phase separation facilitate the development of multifunctional materials. This review highlights the strategies for enhancing the structural diversity of elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) and resilin-like polypeptides (RLPs), and their self-assembled structures via genetic fusion to ordered motifs such as helical or beta sheet domains. In particular, this review describes approaches that harness the synergistic interplay between order-promoting and thermoresponsive building blocks to design hybrid biomaterials, resulting in well-structured, stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials ordered on the nanoscale.

Abstract
Peptide-polymer conjugates (PPCs) are of particular interest in the development of responsive, adaptive, and interactive materials due to the benefits offered by combining both building blocks and components. This review presents pioneering work as well as recent advances in the design of peptide-polymer conjugates, with a specific focus on their thermoresponsive behavior. This unique class of materials has shown great promise in the development of supramolecular structures with physicochemical properties that are modulated using soft and biorthogonal external stimuli. The temperature-induced self-assembly of PPCs into various supramolecular architectures, gelation processes, and tuning of accessible processing parameters to biologically relevant temperature windows are described. The discussion covers the chemical design of the conjugates, the supramolecular driving forces involved, and the mutual influence of the polymer and peptide segments. Additionally, some selected examples for potential biomedical applications of thermoresponsive PPCs in tissue engineering, delivery systems, tumor therapy, and biosensing are highlighted, as well as perspectives on future challenges.

Abstract
Stabilization against the dilution-dependent disassembly of self-assembled nanoparticles is a requirement for in vivo application. Herein, we propose a simple and biocompatible cross-linking reaction for the stabilization of a series of nanoparticles formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic HA-b-ELP block copolymers, through the alkylation of methionine residues from the ELP block with diglycidyl ether compounds. The core-cross-linked nanoparticles retain their colloidal properties, with a spherical core-shell morphology, while maintaining thermoresponsive behavior. As such, instead of a reversible disassembly when non-cross-linked, a reversible swelling of nanoparticles' core and increase of hydrodynamic diameter are observed with lowering of the temperature.

Abstract
Synthesis of polysaccharide-b-polypeptide block copolymers represents an attractive goal because of their promising potential in delivery applications. Inspired by recent breakthroughs in N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) ring-opening polymerization (ROP), we present an efficient approach for preparation of a dextran-based macroinitiator and the subsequent synthesis of dextran-b-polypeptides via NCA ROP. This is an original approach to creating and employing a native polysaccharide macroinitiator for block copolymer synthesis. In this strategy, regioselective (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation of the sole primary alcohol located at the C-6 position of the monosaccharide at the nonreducing end of linear dextran results in a carboxylic acid. This motif is then transformed into a tetraalkylammonium carboxylate, thereby generating the dextran macroinitiator. This macroinitiator initiates a wide range of NCA monomers and produces dextran-b-polypeptides with a degree of polymerization (DP) of the polypeptide up to 70 in a controlled manner (Đ < 1.3). This strategy offers several distinct advantages, including preservation of the original dextran backbone structure, relatively rapid polymerization, and moisture tolerance. The dextran-b-polypeptides exhibit interesting self-assembly behavior. Their nanostructures have been investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and adjustment of the structure of block copolymers allows self-assembly of spherical micelles and worm-like micelles with varied diameters and aspect ratios, revealing a range of diameters from 60 to 160 nm. Moreover, these nanostructures exhibit diverse morphologies, including spherical micelles and worm-like micelles, enabling delivery applications.

Abstract
Peptide molecules have design flexibility, self-assembly ability, high biocompatibility, good biodegradability, and easy functionalization, which promote their applications as versatile biomaterials for tissue engineering and biomedicine. In addition, the functionalization of self-assembled peptide nanomaterials with other additive components enhances their stimuli-responsive functions, promoting function-specific applications that induced by both internal and external stimulations. In this review, we demonstrate recent advance in the peptide molecular design, self-assembly, functional tailoring, and biomedical applications of peptide-based nanomaterials. The strategies on the design and synthesis of single, dual, and multiple stimuli-responsive peptide-based nanomaterials with various dimensions are analyzed, and the functional regulation of peptide nanomaterials with active components such as metal/metal oxide, DNA/RNA, polysaccharides, photosensitizers, 2D materials, and others are discussed. In addition, the designed peptide-based nanomaterials with temperature-, pH-, ion-, light-, enzyme-, and ROS-responsive abilities for drug delivery, bioimaging, cancer therapy, gene therapy, antibacterial, as well as wound healing and dressing applications are presented and discussed. This comprehensive review provides detailed methodologies and advanced techniques on the synthesis of peptide nanomaterials from molecular biology, materials science, and nanotechnology, which will guide and inspire the molecular level design of peptides with specific and multiple functions for function-specific applications.

Abstract
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELP) are versatile, thermo-responsive polymers that can be conjugated to virtually any therapeutic cargo. Derived from short amino-acid sequences and abundant in humans, certain ELPs display low immunogenicity. Substrates for endogenous proteases, ELPs are biodegradable and thus, are candidate biomaterials. Peptides and proteins can be directly coupled with ELPs through genetic engineering, while other polymers and small molecules can be appended through covalent bioconjugation or non-covalent complexation. ELPs that phase separate at physiological temperatures can form the core of nano assemblies; however, ELPs that remain soluble can sterically stabilize the corona of a variety of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles with ELPs at their corona promote colloids with favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) properties that enables therapeutic efficacy with intermittent administration. This review highlights a comprehensive spectrum of ELP fusions shown to stabilize the solubility, and sometimes bioactivity, of their cargo - with a focus on biophysical properties that underlie their therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Degradable polymers (both biomacromolecules and several synthetic polymers) for biomedical applications have been promising very much in the recent past due to their low cost, biocompatibility, flexibility, and minimal side effects. Here, we present an overview with updated information on natural and synthetic degradable polymers where a brief account on different polysaccharides, proteins, and synthetic polymers viz. polyesters/polyamino acids/polyanhydrides/polyphosphazenes/polyurethanes relevant to biomedical applications has been provided. The various approaches for the transformation of these polymers by physical/chemical means viz. cross-linking, as polyblends, nanocomposites/hybrid composites, interpenetrating complexes, interpolymer/polyion complexes, functionalization, polymer conjugates, and block and graft copolymers, are described. The degradation mechanism, drug loading profiles, and toxicological aspects of polymeric nanoparticles formed are also defined. Biomedical applications of these degradable polymer-based biomaterials in and as wound dressing/healing, biosensors, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, etc., are highlighted. In addition, the use of such nano systems to solve current drug delivery problems is briefly reviewed.

Abstract
Polymeric micelles and especially those based on natural diblocks are of particular interest due to their advantageous properties in terms of molecular recognition, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. We herein report a facile and straightforward synthesis of thermoresponsive elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) and oligonucleotide (ON) diblock bioconjugates, ON-b-ELP, through copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The resulting thermosensitive diblock copolymer self-assembles above its critical micelle temperature (CMT ∼30 °C) to form colloidally stable micelles of ∼50 nm diameter. The ON-b-ELP micelles hybridize with an ON complementary strand and maintain their size and stability. Next, we describe the capacity of these micelles to bind proteins, creating more complex structures using the classic biotin-streptavidin pairing and the specific recognition between a transcription factor protein and the ON strand. In both instances, the micelles are intact, form larger structures, and retain their sensitivity to temperature.

Abstract
In response to variations in osmotic stress, in particular to hypertonicity associated with biological dysregulations, cells have developed complex mechanisms to release their excess water, thus avoiding their bursting and death. When water is expelled, cells shrink and concentrate their internal bio(macro)molecular content, inducing the formation of membraneless organelles following a liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) mechanism. To mimic this intrinsic property of cells, functional thermo-responsive elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) biomacromolecular conjugates are herein encapsulated into self-assembled lipid vesicles using a microfluidic system, together with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to mimic cells' interior crowded microenvironment. By inducing a hypertonic shock onto the vesicles, expelled water induces a local increase in concentration and a concomitant decrease in the cloud point temperature (Tcp ) of ELP bioconjugates that phase separate and form coacervates mimicking cellular stress-induced membraneless organelle assemblies. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), as a model enzyme, is bioconjugated to ELPs and is locally confined in coacervates as a response to osmotic stress. This consequently increases local HRP and substrate concentrations and accelerates the kinetics of the enzymatic reaction. These results illustrate a unique way to fine-tune enzymatic reactions dynamically as a response to a physiological change in isothermal conditions.

Abstract
Encapsulation is the way to wrap or coat one substance as a core inside another tiny substance known as a shell at micro and nano scale for protecting the active ingredients from the exterior environment. A lot of active substances, such as flavours, enzymes, drugs, pesticides, vitamins, in addition to catalysts being effectively encapsulated within capsules consisting of different natural as well as synthetic polymers comprising poly(methacrylate), poly(ethylene glycol), cellulose, poly(lactide), poly(styrene), gelatine, poly(lactide-co-glycolide)s, and acacia. The developed capsules release the enclosed substance conveniently and in time through numerous mechanisms, reliant on the ultimate use of final products. Such technology is important for several fields counting food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, agriculture, and textile industries. The present review focuses on the most important and high-efficiency methods for manufacturing micro/nanocapsules and their several applications in our life.

Abstract
Nature is an everlasting source of inspiration for chemical and polymer scientists seeking to develop ever more innovative materials with greater performances. Natural structural proteins are particularly scrutinized to design biomimetic materials. Often characterized by repeat peptide sequences, that together interact by inter- and intramolecular interactions and form a 3D skeleton, they contribute to the mechanical properties of individual cells, tissues, organs, and whole organisms. (Numata, K. Polymer Journal 2020, 52, 1043-1056) Among them elastin, and its main repeat sequences, have been a source of intense studies for more than 50 years resulting in the specific research field dedicated to elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs). These are currently widely investigated in different applications, namely protein purification, tissue engineering, and drug delivery, and some technologies based on ELPs are currently explored by several start-up companies. In the present review, we have summarized pioneering contributions on ELPs, progress made in their genetic engineering, and understanding of their thermal behavior and self-assembly properties. Considered as intrinsically disordered protein polymers, we have finally focused on the works where ELPs have been conjugated to other synthetic macromolecules as covalent hybrid, statistical, graft, or block copolymers, highlighting the huge opportunities that have still not been explored so far.

Abstract
Self-assembling proteins are valuable building blocks for constructing drug nanocarriers due to their self-assembly behavior, monodispersity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Genetic and chemical modifications allow for modular design of protein nanocarriers with effective drug encapsulation, targetability, stimuli responsiveness, and in vivo half-life. Protein nanocarriers have been developed to deliver various therapeutic molecules including small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids with proven in vitro and in vivo efficacy. This article reviews recent advances in protein nanocarriers that are not derived from natural protein nanostructures, such as protein cages or virus like particles. The protein nanocarriers described here are self-assembled from rationally or de novo designed recombinant proteins, as well as recombinant proteins complexed with other biomolecules, presenting properties that are unique from those of natural protein carriers. Design, functionalization, and therapeutic application of protein nanocarriers will be discussed.

Abstract
The design of synthetic (bio)macromolecules that combine biocompatibility, self-assembly and bioactivity properties at the molecular level is an intense field of research for biomedical applications such as (nano)medicine. In this contribution, we have designed and synthesized a library of bioactive and thermo-responsive bioconjugates from elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in order to access bioactive self-assembled nanoparticles. These were prepared by a simple synthetic and purification strategy, compatible with the requirements for biological applications and industrial scale-up. A series of 9 HA-b-ELP bioconjugates with different compositions and block lengths was synthesized under aqueous conditions by strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), avoiding the use of catalysts, co-reactants and organic solvents, and isolated by a simple centrifugation step. An extensive physico-chemical study was then performed on the whole library of bioconjugates in an attempt to establish structure-property relationships. In particular, the determination of the critical conditions for thermally driven self-assembly was carried out upon temperature (CMT) and concentration (CMC) gradients, leading to a phase diagram for each of these bioconjugates. These parameters and the size of nanoparticles were found to depend on the chemical composition of the bioconjugates, namely on the respective size of individual blocks. Understanding the mechanism underlying this dependency is a real asset for designing more effective experiments: with key criteria defined (e.g. concentration, temperature, salinity, and biological target), the composition of the best candidates can be rationalized. In particular, four of the bioconjugates (HA4.6k-ELPn80 or n100 and HA24k-ELPn80 or n100) were found to self-assemble into well-defined spherical core-shell nanoparticles, with a negative surface charge due to the HA block exposed at the surface, a hydrodynamic diameter between 40 and 200 nm under physiological conditions and a good stability over time at 37 °C. We therefore propose here a versatile and simple design of smart, controllable, and bioactive nanoparticles that present different behaviors depending on the diblocks' composition.

Abstract
Simple Summary Elastin-like Polypeptide (ELP) are widely applied in protein purification, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and even tumor therapy. Recent studies show that usage of ELP has made great progress in combination with peptide drugs or antibody drugs. The combination of ELP and photosensitizer in cancer therapy or imaging has made more progress and needs to be summarized. In this review, we summarize the specific application of ELP in cancer therapy, especially the latest developments in the combined use of ELP with photosensitizers. We seek to provide the most recent understanding of ELP and its new application in combination with Photosensitizer. Abstract Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are stimulus-responsive artificially designed proteins synthesized from the core amino acid sequence of human tropoelastin. ELPs have good biocompatibility and biodegradability and do not systemically induce adverse immune responses, making them a suitable module for drug delivery. Design strategies can equip ELPs with the ability to respond to changes in temperature and pH or the capacity to self-assemble into nanoparticles. These unique tunable biophysicochemical properties make ELPs among the most widely studied biopolymers employed in protein purification, drug delivery, tissue engineering and even in tumor therapy. As a module for drug delivery and as a carrier to target tumor cells, the combination of ELPs with therapeutic drugs, antibodies and photo-oxidation molecules has been shown to result in improved pharmacokinetic properties (prolonged half-life, drug targeting, cell penetration and controlled release) while restricting the cytotoxicity of the drug to a confined infected site. In this review, we summarize the latest developments in the application methods of ELP employed in tumor therapy, with a focus on its conjugation with peptide drugs, antibodies and photosensitizers.

Abstract
Preparation and characterization of a block-like l,d-octapeptide-dextran conjugate DEX29-(l-Val-d-Val)4 self-assembling into nanowire structures is reported. The conjugate was prepared by solid phase click-chemistry on an alkyne group N-terminus functionalized peptide with a regularly alternating enantiomeric sequence. Low molecular weight dextran (Xn = 29) with moderately low dispersity (1.30) was prepared by controlled acid hydrolysis and dialysis with selected cut-off and functionalized with an azido group on the reducing end by reductive amination. The strong hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions of the (l-Val-d-Val)4 linear peptide drive the conjugate to self-assemble into long (0.1-1 μm) nanowires. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a peptide-polysaccharide conjugate that can self-assemble into a nanowire architecture.

Abstract
Recombinant nanoworms are promising candidates for materials and biomedical applications ranging from the templated synthesis of nanomaterials to multivalent display of bioactive peptides and targeted delivery of theranostic agents. However, molecular design principles to synthesize these assemblies (which are thermodynamically favorable only in a narrow region of the phase diagram) remain unclear. To advance the identification of design principles for the programmable assembly of proteins into well-defined nanoworms and to broaden their stability regimes, we were inspired by the ability of topologically engineered synthetic macromolecules to acess rare mesophases. To test this design principle in biomacromolecular assemblies, we used post-translational modifications (PTMs) to generate lipidated proteins with precise topological and compositional asymmetry. Using an integrated experimental and computational approach, we show that the material properties (thermoresponse and nanoscale assembly) of these hybrid amphiphiles are modulated by their amphiphilic architecture. Importantly, we demonstrate that the judicious choice of amphiphilic architecture can be used to program the assembly of proteins into adaptive nanoworms, which undergo a morphological transition (sphere-to-nanoworms) in response to temperature stimuli.

Abstract
Small molecule drugs suffer from poor in vivo half-life, rapid degradation, and systemic off-target toxicity. To address these issues, researchers have developed nanoparticles that significantly enhance the delivery of many drugs while reducing their toxicity and improving targeting to specific organs. Recombinantly synthesized biomaterials such as elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) have unique attributes that greatly facilitate the rational design of nanoparticles for drug delivery. These attributes include biocompatibility, precise control over amino acid sequence design, and stimuli-responsive self-assembly into nanostructures that can be loaded with a range of drugs to enhance their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, significantly improving their therapeutic efficacy over the free drugs. This review summarizes recent developments in genetically encoded, self-assembling ELP nanoparticles and their applications for drug delivery.

Abstract
Design of reversible organelle-like microcompartments formed by liquid-liquid phase separation in cell-mimicking entities has significantly advanced the bottom-up construction of artificial eukaryotic cells. However, organizing the formation of artificial organelle architectures in a spatiotemporal manner within complex primitive compartments remains scarcely explored. In this work, thermoresponsive hybrid polypeptide-polymer conjugates are rationally engineered and synthesized, resulting from the conjugation of an intrinsically disordered synthetic protein (IDP), namely elastin-like polypeptide, and synthetic polymers (poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran) that are widely used as macromolecular crowding agents. Cell-like constructs are built using droplet-based microfluidics that are filled with such bioconjugates and an artificial cytoplasm system that is composed of specific polymers conjugated to the IDP. The distinct spatial organizations of two polypeptide-polymer conjugates and the dynamic assembly and disassembly of polypeptide-polymer coacervate droplets in response to temperature are studied in the cytomimetic protocells. Furthermore, a monoblock IDP with longer length is concurrently included with bioconjugates individually inside cytomimetic compartments. Both bioconjugates exhibit an identical surfactant-like property, compartmentalizing the monoblock IDP coacervates via temperature control. These findings lay the foundation for developing hierarchically structured synthetic cells with interior organelle-like structures which could be designed to localize in desired phase-separated subcompartments.

Abstract
In recent years, nanoparticles (NPs) derived from the self-assembly of natural polysaccharides have shown great potential in the biomedical field. Here, we described several self-assembly modes of natural polysaccharides in detail, summarized the natural polysaccharides mostly used for self-assembly, and provided insights into the current applications and achievements of these self-assembled NPs. As one of the most widespread substances in nature, most natural polysaccharides exhibit advantages of biodegradability, low immunogenicity, low toxicity, and degradable properties. Therefore, they have been fully explored, and the application of chitosan, hyaluronic acid, alginate, starch, and their derivatives has been extensively studied, especially in the fields of biomedical. Polysaccharides based NPs were proved to improve the solubility of insoluble drugs, enhance tissue target ability and realize the controlled and sustained release of drugs. When modified by hydrophobic groups, the amphiphilic polysaccharides can self-assemble into NPs. Other driven forces of self-assembly include electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonds. Up to the present, polysaccharides-based nanoparticles have been widely applied for tumor treatment, antibacterial application, gene therapy, photodynamic therapy and transporting insulin.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are abundant natural polymers, which in nature are at times covalently modified with peptides and proteins. Polysaccharide-protein or polysaccharide-peptide conjugates, natural or otherwise, may have increased solubility, improved emulsion properties, prolonged circulation time, reduced immunogenicity, and enhanced selectivity for targeting specific tissues compared to native peptides and proteins. In this paper, we will review recent advances in synthetic methods for producing polysaccharide-protein conjugates and discuss their advantages with a focus on drug targeting.

Abstract
Neurological and functional recovery is limited following central nervous system injury and severe injury to the peripheral nervous system. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic hydrogels are of particular interest as regenerative scaffolds for the injured nervous system as they provide 3D bioactive interfaces that modulate cellular response to the injury environment and provide naturally degradable scaffolding for effective tissue remodeling. In this review, three unique ECM-mimetic hydrogels used in models of neural injury are reviewed: fibrin hydrogels, which rely on a naturally occurring enzymatic gelation, hyaluronic acid hydrogels, which require chemical modification prior to chemical crosslinking, and elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) hydrogels, which exhibit a temperature-sensitive gelation. The hydrogels are reviewed by summarizing their unique biological properties, their use as drug depots, and their combination with other biomaterials, such as electrospun fibers and nanoparticles. This review is the first to focus on these three ECM-mimetic hydrogels for their use in neural tissue engineering. Additionally, this is the first review to summarize the use of ELP hydrogels for nervous system applications. ECM-mimetic hydrogels have shown great promise in preclinical models of neural injury and future advancements in their design and use can likely lead to viable treatments for patients with neural injury.

Abstract
Structured nanoassemblies are biomimetic structures that are enabling applications from nanomedicine to catalysis. One approach to achieve these spatially organized architectures is utilizing amphiphilic diblock copolymers with one or two macromolecular backbones that self-assemble in solution. To date, the impact of alternating backbone architectures on self-assembly and drug delivery is still an area of active research limited by the strategies used to synthesize these multiblock polymers. Here, we report self-assembling ABC-type alginate-based triblock copolymers with the backbones of three distinct biomaterials utilizing a facile conjugation approach. This "polymer mosaic" was synthesized by the covalent attachment of alginate with a PLA/PEG diblock copolymer. The combination of alginate, PEG, and PLA domains resulted in an amphiphilic copolymer that self-assembles into nanoparticles with a unique morphology of alginate domain compartmentalization. These particles serve as a versatile platform for co-encapsulation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic small molecules, their spatiotemporal release, and show potential as a drug delivery system for combination therapy.

Abstract
Modulation of inter- and intramolecular interactions between bioinspired designer molecules can be harnessed for developing functional structures that mimic the complex hierarchical organization of multicomponent assemblies observed in nature. Furthermore, such multistimuli-responsive molecules offer orthogonal tunability for generating versatile multifunctional platforms via independent biochemical and biophysical cues. In this review, the remarkable physicochemical and mechanical properties of genetically engineered protein polymers derived from intrinsically disordered proteins, specifically elastin and resilin, are discussed. This review highlights emerging technologies which use them as building blocks in the fabrication of highly programmable structured biomaterials for applications in delivery of biotherapeutic cargo and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive recombinant elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are artificial protein polymers derived from the hydrophobic domain of tropoelastin that have attracted significant interest for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. In the present study, we have conjugated a photosensitizer (PS) to a hydrophobic methionine-containing ELP scaffold, which upon reaction with singlet oxygen (1O2) is transformed into a hydrophilic sulfoxide derivative facilitating the disassembly of photosensitizer-delivery particles during the photodynamic therapy (PDT) process. A peripherally substituted carboxy-Zn(II)-phthalocyanine derivative (TT1) bearing a carboxyl group directly linked to the Pc-ring, and presenting an absorption maximum around 680 nm, was selected as PS which simultaneously acted as a photooxidation catalyst. A TT1-ELP[M1V3-40] conjugate was prepared from ELP[M1V3-40] modified with an alkyne group at the N-terminal chain end, and from TT1-amide-C3-azide by copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. This innovative model photooxidation sensitive PS delivery technology offers promising attributes in terms of temperature-controlled particle formation and oxidation-triggered release, narrow molar mass distribution, reproducibility, scalability, non-immunogenicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability for pharmaceutical applications in an effort to improve the clinical effectiveness of PDT treatments.

Abstract
Copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between organic azides and terminal alkynes, commonly known as CuAAC or click chemistry, has been identified as one of the most successful, versatile, reliable, and modular strategies for the rapid and regioselective construction of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles as diversely functionalized molecules. Carbohydrates, an integral part of living cells, have several fascinating features, including their structural diversity, biocompatibility, bioavailability, hydrophilicity, and superior ADME properties with minimal toxicity, which support increased demand to explore them as versatile scaffolds for easy access to diverse glycohybrids and well-defined glycoconjugates for complete chemical, biochemical, and pharmacological investigations. This review highlights the successful development of CuAAC or click chemistry in emerging areas of glycoscience, including the synthesis of triazole appended carbohydrate-containing molecular architectures (mainly glycohybrids, glycoconjugates, glycopolymers, glycopeptides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycoclusters, and glycodendrimers through regioselective triazole forming modular and bio-orthogonal coupling protocols). It discusses the widespread applications of these glycoproducts as enzyme inhibitors in drug discovery and development, sensing, gelation, chelation, glycosylation, and catalysis. This review also covers the impact of click chemistry and provides future perspectives on its role in various emerging disciplines of science and technology.

Abstract
Some of thermo-responsive polysaccharides, namely, cellulose, xyloglucan, and chitosan, and protein-like gelatin or elastin-like polypeptides can exhibit temperature dependent sol–gel transitions. Due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, such biomaterials are becoming popular for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. This paper aims to review the properties of sol–gel transition, mechanical strength, drug release (bioavailability of drugs), and cytotoxicity of stimuli-responsive hydrogel made of thermo-responsive biopolymers in drug delivery systems. One of the major applications of such thermos-responsive biopolymers is on textile-based transdermal therapy where the formulation, mechanical, and drug release properties and the cytotoxicity of thermo-responsive hydrogel in drug delivery systems of traditional Chinese medicine have been fully reviewed. Textile-based transdermal therapy, a non-invasive method to treat skin-related disease, can overcome the poor bioavailability of drugs from conventional non-invasive administration. This study also discusses the future prospects of stimuli-responsive hydrogels made of thermo-responsive biopolymers for non-invasive treatment of skin-related disease via textile-based transdermal therapy.

Abstract
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are stimulus-responsive protein-based biopolymers, and some ELP block copolymers can assemble into spherical nanoparticles with thermosensitivity. In this study, two different ELP diblock copolymers, each composed of a hydrophobic and a charged moiety, were synthesized, and the dependence of their physical properties on pH, temperature, and salt concentration was investigated. A series of analyses revealed that hydrophobic core micelles could be generated in response to a change in their surroundings and that micelles did not self-aggregate, a phenomenon due to the repulsive forces between like-charged molecules on the surface. We also demonstrated that self-assembly behavior was closely dependent on the character of the charged amino acid and the specific anion in solution.

Abstract
β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) was grafted onto hyaluronic acid (HA) in a single step to generate a supramolecular biopolymer (HA-β-CD) that was explored for targeted drug delivery applications. Along with its excellent biocompatibility, the prepared HA-β-CD exhibits not only exceptionally high loading capacity for the model drugs doxorubicin and Rhodamine B through the formation of inclusion complexes with the β-CD component, but also the capability of targeted drug delivery to cancerous cells with a high level of expression of CD44 receptors, attributable to its HA component. The polymer can release the drug under slightly acidic conditions. With all its attributes, HA-β-CD may be a promising cancer-cell-targeting drug carrier.

Abstract
![]()
Diblock
oligosaccharides based on renewable resources allow for
a range of new but, so far, little explored biomaterials. Coupling
of blocks through their reducing ends ensures retention of many of
their intrinsic properties that otherwise are perturbed in classical
lateral modifications. Chitin is an abundant, biodegradable, bioactive,
and self-assembling polysaccharide. However, most coupling protocols
relevant for chitin blocks have shortcomings. Here we exploit the
highly reactive 2,5-anhydro-d-mannose residue at the reducing
end of chitin oligomers obtained by nitrous acid depolymerization.
Subsequent activation by dihydrazides or dioxyamines provides precursors
for chitin-based diblock oligosaccharides. These reactions are much
faster than for other carbohydrates, and only acyclic imines (hydrazones
or oximes) are formed (no cyclic N-glycosides). α-Picoline
borane and cyanoborohydride are effective reductants of imines, but
in contrast to most other carbohydrates, they are not selective for
the imines in the present case. This could be circumvented by a simple
two-step procedure. Attachment of a second block to hydrazide- or
aminooxy-functionalized chitin oligomers turned out to be even faster
than the attachment of the first block. The study provides simple
protocols for the preparation of chitin-b-chitin
and chitin-b-dextran diblock oligosaccharides without
involving protection/deprotection strategies.

Abstract
Although several synthetic polypeptide-based nano-prodrugs (NPDs) have entered clinical trials for cancer treatment, achieving a highly effective production of the NPDs for clinical translation remains a challenge. Herein, we develop a typical preparation of pH/glutathione (GSH) dual-responsive glycopolypeptide analogue NPDs having a high drug capsulation/loading efficiency of ca. 93% and ca. 27% even based on ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of a novel and general furan-containing N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) monomer, which facilitates the Diels-Alder (D-A) side-chain functionalization by maleimide modified chemotherapy drug without using any reactive additives. High reactivity of the D-A reaction resulting in the high preparation efficiency of the NPDs is confirmed by 1H NMR and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The self-assembled properties as well as the dual-responsiveness of the NPDs are systemically studied by particle size and zeta potential assay, transmission electron microscopy and drug-delivery dynamics. The cell uptake mechanism, intracellular drug distribution, in vitro/vivo antitumor activity evaluations and the main organ damages of the NPDs are all investigated. Our work can provide a good solution to solve the inefficient fabrication of the smart synthetic polypeptide-based micelles for cancer treatment by following this general and sophisticated platform.
