Abstract
Despite the long history of investigations of polyelectrolyte multilayer formation on solid or liquid surfaces, important questions remain open concerning the construction of the first set of layers. These are generally deposited on a first anchoring layer of different chemistry, influencing their construction and properties. We propose here an in-depth investigation of the formation of NaPSS/PAH multilayers at the air/water interface in the absence of a chemically different anchoring layer, profiting from the surface activity of NaPSS. To analyse the mechanical properties of the different layers, we combine recently established analysis techniques of an inflating/deflating bubble exploiting simultaneous shape and pressure measurement: bubble shape elastometry, general stress decomposition and capillary meniscus dynanometry. We complement these measurements by interfacial shear rheology. The obtained results allow us to confirm, first of all, the strength of the aforementioned techniques to characterize complex interfaces with non-linear viscoelastic properties. Furthermore, their sensitivity allows us to show that the multilayer properties are highly sensitive to the temporal and mechanical conditions under which they are constructed and manipulated. We nevertheless identify a robust trend showing a clear transition from a liquid-like viscoelastic membrane to a solid-like viscoelastic membrane after the deposition of 5 layers. We interpret this as the number of layers required to create a fully connected multilayer, which is consistent with previous results obtained on solid or liquid interfaces.

Abstract
Naringin (NG), a natural flavanone glycoside, possesses a multitude of pharmacological properties, encompassing anti-inflammatory, sedative, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-osteoporosis, and lipid-lowering functions, and serves as a facilitator for the absorption of other drugs. Despite these powerful qualities, NG's limited solubility and bioavailability primarily undermine its therapeutic potential. Consequently, innovative solubilization methodologies have received considerable attention, propelling a surge of scholarly investigation in this arena. Among the most promising solutions is the enhancement of NG's solubility and physiological activity without compromising its inherent active structure, therefore enabling the formulation of non-toxic and benign human body preparations. This article delivers a comprehensive overview of NG and its physiological activities, particularly emphasizing the impacts of structural modification, solid dispersions (SDs), inclusion compound, polymeric micelle, liposomes, and nanoparticles on NG solubilization. By synthesizing current research, this research elucidates the bioavailability of NG, broadens its clinical applicability, and paves the way for further exploration and expansion of its application spectrum.

Abstract
The development of a lipid nano-delivery system was attempted for three specific poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors: Veliparib, Rucaparib, and Niraparib. Simple lipid and dual lipid formulations with 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-(1'-glycerol) sodium salt (DPPG) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocoline (DPPC) were developed and tested following the thin-film method. DPPG-encapsulating inhibitors presented the best fit in terms of encapsulation efficiency (>40%, translates into concentrations as high as 100 µM), zeta potential values (below -30 mV), and population distribution (single population profile). The particle size of the main population of interest was ~130 nm in diameter. Kinetic release studies showed that DPPG-encapsulating PARP1 inhibitors present slower drug release rates than liposome control samples, and complex drug release mechanisms were identified. DPPG + Veliparib/Niraparib presented a combination of diffusion-controlled and non-Fickian diffusion, while anomalous and super case II transport was verified for DPPG + Rucaparib. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that PARP1 inhibitors interact with the DPPG lipid membrane, promoting membrane water displacement from hydration centers. A preferential membrane interaction with lipid carbonyl groups was observed through hydrogen bonding, where the inhibitors' protonated amine groups may be the major players in the PARP1 inhibitor encapsulation mode.

Abstract
In recent years, the availability of effective vaccines has become a public health challenge due to the proliferation of different pandemic outbreaks which are a risk for the world population health. Therefore, the manufacturing of new formulations providing a robust immune response against specific diseases is of paramount importance. This can be partially faced by introducing vaccination systems based on nanostructured materials, and in particular, nanoassemblies obtained by the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) method. This has emerged, in recent years, as a very promising alternative for the design and optimization of effective vaccination platforms. In particular, the versatility and modularity of the LbL method provide very powerful tools for fabricating functional materials, opening new avenues on the design of different biomedical tools, including very specific vaccination platforms. Moreover, the possibility to control the shape, size, and chemical composition of the supramolecular nanoassemblies obtained by the LbL method offers new opportunities for manufacturing materials which can be administered following specific routes and present very specific targeting. Thus, it will be possible to increase the patient convenience and the efficacy of the vaccination programs. This review presents a general overview on the state of the art of the fabrication of vaccination platforms based on LbL materials, trying to highlight some important advantages offered by these systems.

Abstract
Multilayered pH-responsive hollow microcapsules with non-toxicity and biological specificity advantages were prepared from two kinds of polymers i.e., chitosan (CH) and poly (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (PE) via layer-by-layer (LbL) method, which is followed by subsequent removal of silica core. The hollow nature of obtained spherical microcapsules was found by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The microcapsules were prepared as gemcitabine (GM) and curcumin (CR) carriers. The drugs have been loaded within the microcapsules during or after the synthetic procedure. Although acceptable loading efficiencies (LE) were obtained in both methods, the amount of drug loaded during the synthesis method is relatively higher. Values above 78% and 87%, for releasing efficiency (RE%) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%), respectively, demonstrate the high potential of the prepared microcapsules for drug delivery. In addition, the difference between the amount of drug released in acidic and neutral pH indicates the pH-responsivity of the prepared microcapsules. Moreover, the dose-dependent high cytotoxicity effect of the prepared microcapsules was observed on the HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells.

Systematic modulation of the lipid composition enables the tuning of liposome cellular uptake. Acta Biomater 2023; 158:463-474. [PMID: 36599401 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.12.058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
As liposomes have been widely explored as drug delivery carriers over the past decades, they are one of the most promising platforms due to their biocompatibility and versatility for surface functionalization. However, to improve the specific design of liposomes for future biomedical applications such as nanovaccines, it is necessary to understand how these systems interact with cell membranes, as most of their potential applications require them to be internalized by cells. Even though several investigations on the cellular uptake of liposomes were conducted, the effect of the liposome membrane properties on internalization in different cell lines remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate how the cellular uptake behavior of liposomes can be driven towards preferential interaction with dendritic cells (DC2.4) as compared to macrophages (RAW264.7) by tuning the lipid composition with varied molar ratios of the lipid 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE). Cellular internalization efficiency was analyzed by flow cytometry, as well as liposome-cell membrane co-localization by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The corresponding proteomic analysis of the protein corona was performed in order to unravel the possible effect on the internalization. The obtained results of this work reveal that it is possible to modulate the cellular uptake towards enhanced internalization by dendritic cells just by modifying the applied lipids and, thus, mainly the physico-chemical properties of the liposomes. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In the field of nanomedicine, it is of key importance to develop new specific and efficient drug carriers. In this sense, liposomes are one of the most widely known carrier types and used in clinics with good results. However, the exact interaction mechanisms of liposomes with cells remain unclear, which is of great importance for the design of new drug delivery platforms. Therefore, in this work we demonstrate that cellular uptake depends on the lipid composition. We are able to enhance the uptake in a specific cell type just by tuning the content of a lipid in the liposome membrane. This finding could be a step towards the selective design of liposomes to be internalized by specific cells with promising applications in biomedicine.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The internal organization of polyelectrolyte layers deposited on colloidal templates plays a very important role for the potential applications of these systems as capsules for drug delivery purposes. EXPERIMENTS The mutual arrangement of oppositely charged polyelectrolyte layers upon their deposition on positively charged liposomes has been studied by combining up three different scattering techniques and Electronic Spin Resonance, which has provided information about the inter-layer interactions and their effect on the final structure of the capsules. FINDINGS The sequential deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes on the external leaflet of positively charged liposomes allows modulating the organization of the obtained supramolecular structures, impacting the packing and rigidity of the obtained capsules due to the change of the ionic cross-linking of the multi-layered film as a result of the specific charge of the last deposited layer. The possibility to modulate the properties of the LbL capsules by tuning the characteristics of the last deposited layers offers a very interesting route for the design of materials for encapsulation purposes with their properties controlled almost at will by changing the number of deposited layers and their chemistry.

Abstract
In order to provide the fundamental information about the interactions of common anionic surfactants with the basic unsaturated phospholipids the influence of three cationic (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, DTAB; tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, TTAB and hexadecyltrimethylamonium bromide, CTAB) and one anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS) surfactants on the properties of the 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) layers was investigated. The studies proved that a tiny amount of the ionic surfactant added to the already synthesized liposome suspension is sufficient to change the zeta potential of the POPC and DOPC liposomes significantly. This impact increases with the surfactant concentration, the alkyl chain length of the surfactant and the degree of lipid saturation. Moreover, this effect is greater for the anionic surfactant than for the cationic one of the same alkyl chain length. The observed findings were confirmed in the course of the research carried out with the use of the corresponding Langmuir monolayers where the surface pressure - mean area isotherms, the compressibility modulus - surface pressure dependences, the monolayer penetration tests, the surface potential - mean molecular area isotherms and Brewster angle microscopy were discussed. It was found that the presence of the surfactants shifts the isotherms towards larger molecular area, to the higher extent for the SDS than DTAB. This effect increases with the increasing surfactant concentration in the subphase. Moreover, the investigated surfactants remain in the monolayer even at high surface pressure. Nevertheless, no effect on the morphology of the POPC and DOPC monolayers was detected from the BAM images. The surface potential and surface charge of the liposomes calculated on the basis of the zeta potential results reflected the interactions between the surfactant and the lipid layers.

Abstract
The construction of nanostructured materials for their application in electrochemical processes, e.g., energy storage and conversion, or sensing, has undergone a spectacular development over the last decades as a consequence of their unique properties in comparison to those of their bulk counterparts, e.g., large surface area and facilitated charge/mass transport pathways. This has driven strong research on the optimization of nanostructured materials for the fabrication of electrochemical devices, which demands techniques allowing the assembly of hybrid materials with well-controlled structures and properties. The Layer-by-Layer (LbL) method is well suited for fulfilling the requirements associated with the fabrication of devices for electrochemical applications, enabling the fabrication of nanomaterials with tunable properties that can be exploited as candidates for their application in fuel cells, batteries, electrochromic devices, solar cells, and sensors. This review provides an updated discussion of some of the most recent advances on the application of the LbL method for the fabrication of nanomaterials that can be exploited in the design of novel electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Liposomes are highly advantageous platforms for drug delivery. To improve the colloidal stability and avoid rapid uptake by the mononuclear phagocytic system of conventional liposomes while controlling the release of encapsulated agents, modification of liposomes with well-designed polymers to modulate the physiological, particularly the interfacial properties of the drug carriers, has been intensively investigated. Briefly, polymers are incorporated into liposomes mainly using “grafting” or “coating”, defined according to the configuration of polymers at the surface. Polymer-modified liposomes preserve the advantages of liposomes as drug-delivery carriers and possess specific functionality from the polymers, such as long circulation, precise targeting, and stimulus-responsiveness, thereby resulting in improved pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, toxicity, and therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we summarize the progress in polymer-modified liposomes for drug delivery, focusing on the change in physiological properties of liposomes and factors influencing the overall therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayered capsules (PEMUCs) obtained using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) method have become powerful tools for different biomedical applications, which include drug delivery, theranosis or biosensing. However, the exploitation of PEMUCs in the biomedical field requires a deep understanding of the most fundamental bases underlying their assembly processes, and the control of their properties to fabricate novel materials with optimized ability for specific targeting and therapeutic capacity. This review presents an updated perspective on the multiple avenues opened for the application of PEMUCs to the biomedical field, aiming to highlight some of the most important advantages offered by the LbL method for the fabrication of platforms for their use in the detection and treatment of different diseases.

Abstract
The current consumer demands together with the international regulations have pushed the cosmetic industry to seek new active ingredients from natural renewable sources for manufacturing more eco-sustainability and safe products, with botanical extract being an almost unlimited source of these new actives. Essential oils (EOs) emerge as very common natural ingredients in cosmetics and toiletries as a result of both their odorous character for the design and manufacturing of fragrances and perfumes, and the many beneficial properties of their individual components (EOCs), e.g., anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and, nowadays, the cosmetic industry includes EOs or different mixtures of their individual components (EOCs), either as active ingredients or as preservatives, in various product ranges (e.g., moisturizers, lotions and cleanser in skin care cosmetics; conditioners, masks or antidandruff products in hair care products; lipsticks, or fragrances in perfumery). However, the unique chemical profile of each individual essential oil is associated with different benefits, and hence it is difficult to generalize their potential applications in cosmetics and toiletries, which often require the effort of formulators in seeking suitable mixtures of EOs or EOCs for obtaining specific benefits in the final products. This work presents an updated review of the available literature related to the most recent advances in the application of EOs and EOCs in the manufacturing of cosmetic products. Furthermore, some specific aspects related to the safety of EOs and EOCs in cosmetics will be discussed. It is expected that the information contained in this comprehensive review can be exploited by formulators in the design and optimization of cosmetic formulations containing botanical extracts.
