BMC Chem 2024; 18:43. [PMID: 38395982 PMCID: PMC10893753 DOI: 10.1186/s13065-024-01129-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this research was to prepare some Fe3O4@SiO2@Chitosan (CS) magnetic nanocomposites coupled with nisin, and vancomycin to evaluate their antibacterial efficacy under both in vitro and in vivo against the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus. aureus (MRSA). METHODS In this survey, the Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were constructed as a core and covered the surface of MNPs via crosslinking CS by glutaraldehyde as a shell, then functionalized with vancomycin and nisin to enhance the inhibitory effects of nanoparticles (NPs). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques were then used to describe the nanostructures. RESULTS Based on the XRD, and FE-SEM findings, the average size of the modified magnetic nanomaterials were estimated to be around 22-35 nm, and 34-47 nm, respectively. The vancomycin was conjugated in three polymer-drug ratios; 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1, with the percentages of 45.52%, 35.68%, and 24.4%, respectively. The polymer/drug ratio of 1:1 exhibited the slowest release rate of vancomycin from the Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-VANCO nanocomposites during 24 h, which was selected to examine their antimicrobial effects under in vivo conditions. The nisin was grafted onto the nanocomposites at around 73.2-87.2%. All the compounds resulted in a marked reduction in the bacterial burden (P-value < 0.05). CONCLUSION The vancomycin-functionalized nanocomposites exhibited to be more efficient in eradicating the bacterial cells both in vitro and in vivo. These findings introduce a novel bacteriocin-metallic nanocomposite that can suppress the normal bacterial function on demand for the treatment of MRSA skin infections.

Application of natural polysaccharides and their novel dosage forms in gynecological cancers: therapeutic implications from the diversity potential of natural compounds. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1195104. [PMID: 37383719 PMCID: PMC10293794 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1195104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Cancer is one of the most lethal diseases. Globally, the number of cancers is nearly 10 million per year. Gynecological cancers (for instance, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial), relying on hidden diseases, misdiagnoses, and high recurrence rates, have seriously affected women's health. Traditional chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy effectively improve the prognosis of gynecological cancer patients. However, with the emergence of adverse reactions and drug resistance, leading to the occurrence of complications and poor compliance of patients, we have to focus on the new treatment direction of gynecological cancers. Because of the potential effects of natural drugs in regulating immune function, protecting against oxidative damage, and improving the energy metabolism of the body, natural compounds represented by polysaccharides have also attracted extensive attention in recent years. More and more studies have shown that polysaccharides are effective in the treatment of various tumors and in reducing the burden of metastasis. In this review, we focus on the positive role of natural polysaccharides in the treatment of gynecologic cancer, the molecular mechanisms, and the available evidence, and discuss the potential use of new dosage forms derived from polysaccharides in gynecologic cancer. This study covers the most comprehensive discussion on applying natural polysaccharides and their novel preparations in gynecological cancers. By providing complete and valuable sources of information, we hope to promote more effective treatment solutions for clinical diagnosis and treatment of gynecological cancers.

Abstract
This work successfully synthesized the salicylic acid@polyurea-formaldehyde (SA@PUF) microcapsules with PUF microcapsules as shell material and SA as core material. The loading content of SA in the PUF microcapsules was approximately 40 %. The SA@PUF microcapsules had excellent long-term antibacterial properties because the PUF microcapsules controlled the release of SA antifouling agents with the ability to induce reactive oxygen species generation and inactivate bacteria. The antibacterial efficiency of SA@PUF microcapsules after 35 days against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa remained at 80 % and 81 %, increased by 60 % and 62 % compared with pure SA, respectively. The impedance modulus at 0.01 Hz of the SA@PUF coating reached 5.51 GΩ cm2, much higher than blank coating (2.55 GΩ cm2) and PUF coating (4.94 GΩ cm2), indicating that the anti-corrosion property of the SA@PUF coating was much better. This work would contribute to developing novel coatings with long-term antibacterial activity and excellent anti-corrosion performance.

Abstract
Safe delivery of hydrophobic drugs to the tumor site is a major problem for the scientific community. To improve the in vivo efficacy of hydrophobic drugs by avoiding solubility concerns and providing targeted delivery by nanoparticle, we have developed robust iron oxide nanoparticles coated chitosan with ([2- (methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethyl ammonium chloride) (METAC) [CS-IONPs-METAC-PTX] as a drug carrier for the delivery of hydrophobic drug, paclitaxel (PTX). Drug carrier was characterized using various techniques like FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, DLS and VSM. Maximum drug release of 93.50 ± 2.80 % from CS-IONPs-METAC-PTX occurs at pH 5.5 in 24 h. Significantly, the nanoparticles exhibited excellent therapeutic efficacy when appraised in L929 (Fibroblast) cell lines with a good cell viability profile. CS-IONPs-METAC-PTX shows excellent cytotoxic effect in MCF-7 cell lines. In 100 μg/mL concentration, CS-IONPs-METAC-PTX formulation shows 13.46 ± 0.40 % of cell viability. Selectivity index of 2.12 indicates the highly selective and safe performance of CS-IONPs-METAC-PTX. Admirable hemocompatibility of the developed polymer material demonstrating its applicability towards drug delivery. Results of the investigation substantiate that the prepared drug carrier is a potent material for the delivery of PTX.

Doxorubicin-Loaded Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Capsules Modified with Antitumor DR5-Specific TRAIL Variant for Targeted Drug Delivery to Tumor Cells. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:902. [PMID: 36903780 PMCID: PMC10005140 DOI: 10.3390/nano13050902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Recently, biodegradable polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PMC) have been proposed for anticancer drug delivery. In many cases, microencapsulation allows to concentrate the substance locally and prolong its flow to the cells. To reduce systemic toxicity when delivering highly toxic drugs, such as doxorubicin (DOX), the development of a combined delivery system is of paramount importance. Many efforts have been made to exploit the DR5-dependent apoptosis induction for cancer treatment. However, despite having a high antitumor efficacy of the targeted tumor-specific DR5-B ligand, a DR5-specific TRAIL variant, its fast elimination from a body limits its potential use in a clinic. A combination of an antitumor effect of the DR5-B protein with DOX loaded in the capsules could allow to design a novel targeted drug delivery system. The aim of the study was to fabricate PMC loaded with a subtoxic concentration of DOX and functionalized with the DR5-B ligand and to evaluate a combined antitumor effect of this targeted drug delivery system in vitro. In this study, the effects of PMC surface modification with the DR5-B ligand on cell uptake both in 2D (monolayer culture) and 3D (tumor spheroids) were studied by confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and fluorimetry. Cytotoxicity of the capsules was evaluated using an MTT test. The capsules loaded with DOX and modified with DR5-B demonstrated synergistically enhanced cytotoxicity in both in vitro models. Thus, the use of the DR5-B-modified capsules loaded with DOX at a subtoxic concentration could provide both targeted drug delivery and a synergistic antitumor effect.

Abstract
Medication in arthritis therapies is complex because the inflammatory progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) is intertwined and influenced by one another. To address this problem, drug delivery systems (DDS) are composed of four independent exogenous triggers and four dependent endogenous stimuli that are controlled on program and induced on demand, respectively. However, the relationships between the mechanisms of endogenous stimuli and exogenous triggers with pathological alterations remain unclear, which results in a major obstacle in terms of clinical translation. Thus, the rationale for designing a guidance system for these mechanisms via their key irritant biosensors is in high demand. Many approaches have been applied, although successful clinical translations are still rare. Through this review, the status quo in historical development is highlighted in order to discuss the unsolved clinical difficulties such as infiltration, efficacy, drug clearance, and target localisation. Herein, we summarise and discuss the rational compositions of exogenous triggers and endogenous stimuli for programmable therapy. This advanced active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) implanted dose allows for several releases by remote controls for endogenous stimuli during lesion infections. This solves the multiple implantation and local toxic accumulation problems by using these flexible desired releases at the specified sites for arthritis therapies.

Abstract
Polymer capsules fabricated via the layer-by-layer (LbL) approach have attracted a great deal of attention for biomedical applications thanks to their tunable architecture. Compared to alternative methods, in which the precise control over the final properties of the systems is usually limited, the intrinsic versatility of the LbL approach allows the functionalization of all the constituents of the polymeric capsules following relatively simple protocols. In fact, the final properties of the capsules can be adjusted from the inner cavity to the outer layer through the polymeric shell, resulting in therapeutic, diagnostic, or theranostic (i.e., combination of therapeutic and diagnostic) agents that can be adapted to the particular characteristics of the patient and face the challenges encountered in complex pathologies. The biomedical industry demands novel biomaterials capable of targeting several mechanisms and/or cellular pathways simultaneously while being tracked by minimally invasive techniques, thus highlighting the need to shift from monofunctional to multifunctional polymer capsules. In the present review, those strategies that permit the advanced functionalization of polymer capsules are accordingly introduced. Each of the constituents of the capsule (i.e., cavity, multilayer membrane and outer layer) is thoroughly analyzed and a final overview of the combination of all the strategies toward the fabrication of multifunctional capsules is presented. Special emphasis is given to the potential biomedical applications of these multifunctional capsules, including particular examples of the performed in vitro and in vivo validation studies. Finally, the challenges in the fabrication process and the future perspective for their safe translation into the clinic are summarized.

Abstract
Graphene oxide has been used in different fields of nanomedicine as a manager of drug delivery due to its inherent physical and chemical properties that allow its use in thin films with biomedical applications. Several studies demonstrated its efficacy in the control of the amount and the timely delivery of drugs when it is incorporated in multilayer films. It has been demonstrated that oxide graphene layers are able to work as drug delivery or just to delay consecutive drug dosage, allowing the operation of time-controlled systems. This review presents the latest research developments of biomedical applications using graphene oxide as the main component of a drug delivery system, with focus on the production and characterization of films, in vitro and in vivo assays, main applications of graphene oxide biomedical devices, and its biocompatibility properties.

Abstract
Interventional embolization and minimally invasive thermal ablation are common clinical methods for treatment of unresectable solid tumors, but they both have many insurmountable disadvantages. Inspired by pH-responsive drug delivery systems, we report the tumor microenvironment-gelled nanocomposites with poly[(l-glutamic acid-ran-l-tyrosine)-b-l-threonine-b-l-cysteine]s (PGTTCs) coating nanoparticles (NPs, Au or Fe3O4) for noninterventional targeted embolization combined with noninvasive thermal ablation therapy of solid tumors by intravenous injection without catheter use. The results of the animal trial in vivo with tumor-bearing mice and rabbits showed superior targeted embolization and therapy and fluorescence/single-photon emission computed tomography/magnetic resonance multimodal imaging effects. Tumors treated with NPs@PGTTCs were shrunken and necrotized within 30 days, the long-term survival rate was more than 80%, and the same effects can be achieved within 15 days when combined with thermal ablation. The method is so simple and efficient for many hard-to-treat tumors within an acidic microenvironment, which is not only a great improvement and innovation in tumor theranostics but also an important development in nanomedicine.

Abstract
A new system composed of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with methotrexate (MTX-CS-NPs) and functionalized with photocatalytic TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) was prepared. This system is expected to initiate polymeric rupture of MTX-CS-NPs and subsequently release MTX, upon illumination with UV light. MTX-CS-NPs were prepared and characterized in terms of particle size, charge, polydispersity and drug release before and after coating with TiO2-NPs. The release of MTX in vitro was studied in dark, light and UV light. Finally, coated and uncoated MTX-CS-NPs were studied in vitro using MCF-7 cell line. The functionalized NPs were larger in size, more polydisperse and carried higher positive charges compared to the unfunctionalized NPs. The entrapment efficacy was high reaching 75% and was not affected by coating with MTX-CS-NPs. Further, less than 5% of methotrexate was released after 80 h from uncoated NPs and the release was not enhanced by UV illumination of the particles. In contrast, the release from functionalized NPs was enhanced, reaching 40% after 80 h, as the particles were stroked with UV light and as the amount of TiO2-NPs used in coating increased. Finally, coating the MTX-CS-NPs with TiO2-NPs significantly enhanced their cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cells. The coated MTX-CS-NPs recorded low cell viabilities compared to the other formulations. In conclusion, the drug release of MTX-CS-NPs could be triggered and controlled remotely by coating with TiO2-NPs, which maybe more effective in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been implemented for chemo and photothermal therapy to target tumour cells overexpressing the CD44+ receptor. HA-targeting hybrid systems allows carbon nanomaterial (CNM) carriers to efficiently deliver anticancer drugs, such as doxorubicin and gemcitabine, to the tumour sites. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are grouped for a detailed review of the novel nanocomposites for cancer therapy. Some CNMs proved to be more successful than others in terms of stability and effectiveness at removing relative tumour volume. While the literature has been focused primarily on the CNTs and GO, other CNMs such as carbon nano-onions (CNOs) proved quite promising for targeted drug delivery using HA. Near-infrared laser photoablation is also reviewed as a primary method of cancer therapy-it can be used alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy to achieve promising chemo-photothermal therapy protocols. This review aims to give a background into HA and why it is a successful cancer-targeting component of current CNM-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Tumor theranostics hold great potential for personalized medicine in the future, and transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is an important clinical treatment for unresectable or hypervascular tumors. In order to break the limitation, simplify the procedure of TAE, and achieve ideal combinatorial theranostic capability, here, a kind of triblock-polypeptide-coated perfluoropentane-loaded mesoporous Fe3O4 nanocomposites (PFP-m-Fe3O4@PGTTCs) were prepared for non-interventional target-embolization, magnetic hyperthermia, and multimodal imaging combination theranostics of solid tumors. The results of systematic animal experiments by H22-tumor-bearing mice and VX2-tumor-bearing rabbits in vivo indicated that PFP-m-Fe3O4@PGTTC-6.3 has specific tumor accumulation and embolization effects. The tumors' growth has been inhibited and the tumors disappeared 4 weeks and ≤15 days post-injection with embolization and magnetic hyperthermia combination therapy, respectively. The results also showed an excellent effect of magnetic resonance/ultrasound/SPECT multimodal imaging. This pH-responsive non-interventional embolization combinatorial theranostics system provides a novel embolization and multifunctional theranostic candidate for solid tumors.

Abstract
Since the conceptualization of nanomedicine, numerous nanostructure-mediated drug formulations have progressed into clinical trials for treating cancer. However, recent clinical trial results indicate such kind of drug formulations has a limited improvement on the antitumor efficacy. This is due to the biological barriers associated with those formulations, for example, circulation stability, extravasation efficiency in tumor, tumor penetration ability, and developed multi-drug resistance. When employing for nanomedicine formulations, pristine organic-based and inorganic-based nanostructures have their own limitations. Accordingly, organic/inorganic (O/I) hybrids have been developed to integrate the merits of both, and to minimize their intrinsic drawbacks. In this context, the recent development in O/I hybrids resulting from a self-assembly strategy will be introduced. Through such a strategy, organic and inorganic building blocks can be self-assembled via either chemical covalent bonds or physical interactions. Based on the self-assemble procedure, the hybridization of four organic building blocks including liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and polymeric nanocapsules with five functional inorganic nanoparticles comprising gold nanostructures, magnetic nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, quantum dots, and silica nanoparticles will be highlighted. The recent progress of these O/I hybrids in advanced modalities for combating cancer, such as, therapeutic agent delivery, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy will be systematically reviewed.

Abstract
Delivering a drug to the target site with minimal-to-no off-target cytotoxicity is the major determinant for the success of disease therapy. While the therapeutic efficacy and cytotoxicity of the drug play the main roles, the use of a suitable drug delivery system (DDS) is important to protect the drug along the administration route and release it at the desired target site. Polysaccharides have been extensively studied as a biomaterial for DDS development due to their high biocompatibility. More usefully, polysaccharides can be crosslinked with various molecules such as micro/nanoparticles and hydrogels to form a modified DDS. According to IUPAC, hydrogel is defined as the structure and processing of sols, gels, networks and inorganic–organic hybrids. This 3D network which often consists of a hydrophilic polymer can drastically improve the physical and chemical properties of DDS to increase the biodegradability and bioavailability of the carrier drugs. The advancement of nanotechnology also allows the construction of hydrogel DDS with enhanced functionalities such as stimuli-responsiveness, target specificity, sustained drug release, and therapeutic efficacy. This review provides a current update on the use of hydrogel DDS derived from polysaccharide-based materials in delivering various therapeutic molecules and drugs. We also highlighted the factors that affect the efficacy of these DDS and the current challenges of developing them for clinical use.

Abstract
Polymer capsules fabricated via the layer-by-layer (LbL) approach have emerged as promising biomedical systems for the release of a wide variety of therapeutic agents, owing to their tunable and controllable structure and the possibility to include several functionalities in the polymeric membrane during the fabrication process. However, the limitation of the capsules with a single functionality to overcome the challenges involved in the treatment of complex pathologies denotes the need to develop multifunctional capsules capable of targeting several mediators and/or mechanisms. Oxidative stress is caused by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species [e.g., hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and superoxide anion radicals (•O2-)] in the cellular microenvironment and is a key modulator in the pathology of a broad range of inflammatory diseases. The disease microenvironment is also characterized by the presence of proinflammatory cytokines, increased levels of matrix metalloproteinases, and acidic pH, all of which could be exploited to trigger the release of therapeutic agents. In the present work, multifunctional capsules were fabricated via the LbL approach. Capsules were loaded with an antioxidant enzyme (catalase) and functionalized with a model drug (doxorubicin), which was conjugated to an amine-containing dendritic polyglycerol through a pH-responsive linker. These capsules efficiently scavenge H2O2 from solution, protecting cells from oxidative stress, and release the model drug in acidic microenvironments. Accordingly, in this work, a polymeric microplatform is presented as an unexplored combinatorial approach applicable for multiple targets of inflammatory diseases, in order to perform controlled spatiotemporal enzymatic reactions and drug release in response to biologically relevant stimuli.

Abstract
Nowadays, carbon-based nanostructure materials are regarded as promising carriers for
drug delivery to improve the effective treatment of diseases. The formation of covalent and noncovalent
molecular bonds can be used for surface modification of nano-carriers in order to manipulate
their toxicity, water solubility, and cellular internalization. Graphene and its derivatives have
shown important potential in drug delivery systems. Among different graphene derivatives, Graphene
Oxide (GO) is the most extensively used derivative. GO sheets have possessed certain oxygen
functional groups including carboxylic acid groups at the edges, epoxy and hydroxyl groups on the
basal planes. The oxygen groups on the surface of GO sheets enhance their capabilities for functionalization
with chemical and bioactive molecules. In this review, we highlight the recent researches
about the effect of reactive sites on the surface of GO and its derivatives in drug delivery systems.
Therefore, the application of GO and its derivatives have been discussed as a delivery system in cancer
treatment, gene therapy, and combination therapy, followed by discussions on their related issues.
Finally, the review will provide a future perspective to the applications of GO-based materials as part
of drug delivery systems, and may open up new viewpoints to motivate broader interests across these
interdisciplinary fields.

Abstract
Sequence-specific nucleic acids recognizing low-molecular-weight ligands or macromolecules (aptamers) have found growing interest for biomedical applications. The present review article summarizes recent applications of aptamers as stimuli-responsive gating units of drug (or dye)-loaded nano- or microcarriers for controlled and targeted drug release. In the presence of cellular biomarkers, the nano-/microcarriers are unlocked by forming aptamer-ligand complexes. Different aptamer-functinalized nano-/microcarriers are presented, including inorganic nanomaterials, metal-organic framework nanoparticles, and soft materials. The chemistries associated with the preparation of the carriers and the mechanisms to unlock the carriers are discussed. Stimuli-responsive gated drug-loaded micro-/nanocarriers hold great promise as functional sense-and-treat materials for the targeted and selective release of drugs.

Abstract
Sequence-specific nucleic acids exhibiting selective recognition properties towards low-molecular-weight substrates and macromolecules (aptamers) find growing interest as functional biopolymers for analysis, medical applications such as imaging, drug delivery and even therapeutic agents, nanotechnology, material science and more. The present perspective article introduces a glossary of examples for diverse applications of aptamers mainly originated from our laboratory. These include the introduction of aptamer-functionalized nanomaterials such as graphene oxide, Ag nanoclusters and semiconductor quantum dots as functional hybrid nanomaterials for optical sensing of target analytes. The use of aptamer-functionalized DNA tetrahedra nanostructures for multiplex analysis and aptamer-loaded metal-organic framework nanoparticles acting as sense-and-treat are introduced. Aptamer-functionalized nano and microcarriers are presented as stimuli-responsive hybrid drug carriers for controlled and targeted drug release, including aptamer-functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles, carbon dots, metal-organic frameworks and microcapsules. A further application of aptamers involves the conjugation of aptamers to catalytic units as a means to mimic enzyme functions "nucleoapzymes". In addition, the formation and dissociation of aptamer-ligand complexes are applied to develop mechanical molecular devices and to switch nanostructures such as origami scaffolds. Finally, the article discusses future challenges in applying aptamers in material science, nanotechnology and catalysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Owing to the unique properties of graphene, including large specific surface area, excellent thermal conductivity, and optical absorption, graphene-family nanomaterials (GFNs) have attracted extensive attention in biomedical applications, particularly in drug delivery and phototherapy. AREAS COVERED In this review, we point out several challenges involved in the clinical application of GFNs. Then, we provide an overview of the most recent publications about GFNs in biomedical applications, including diverse strategies for improving the biocompatibility, specific targeting and stimuli-responsiveness of GFNs for drug delivery, codelivery of drug and gene, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and multimodal combination therapy. EXPERT OPINION Although the application of GFNs is still in the preclinical stage, rational modification of GFNs with functional elements or making full use of GFNs-based multimodal combination therapy might show great potential in biomedicine for clinical application.

Abstract
Encapsulated molecular cargos are efficiently endocytosed by cells. For cytosolic delivery, understanding the dynamic process of cargos release from the carrier vehicles used for encapsulation and the lysosomes where the carrier vehicles are trapped (which in general is the bottleneck), followed by diffusion in the cytosol is important for improving drug/gene delivery strategies. A methodology is reported to image this process on a millisecond scale and to quantitatively analyze the data. Polyelectrolyte capsules with embedded gold nanostars to encapsulate 43 fluorescent molecular cargos with diverse properties, ranging from small fluorophores to fluorescently labeled proteins, siRNA, etc., are used. By short laser irradiation intracellular release of the molecular cargos from endocytosed capsules into the cytosol is triggered, and their intracellular spreading is imaged. Most of the released molecular cargos evenly distribute inside the entire cell, while others are enriched in certain cell compartments. The time the different molecular cargos take to distribute within cells, i.e., the spreading time, is used as a quantifier. Quantitative analysis reveals that intracellular spread cannot be described by free diffusion, but is determined by interaction of the molecular cargo with intracellular components.

Abstract
In order to improve the anticancer therapeutic efficacy and postoperative recovery efficacy, the novel anticancer therapeutic system should have the ability to promote angiogenesis after anticancer therapy besides the excellent anticancer therapeutic efficacy. We present herein a magnetic targeting multifunctional anticancer therapeutic system based on cobalt nanowires (CoNWs) for anticancer therapy and angiogenesis. Magnetic characterization shows that the CoNWs can be concentrated in desired locations under the external magnetic field, which is favorable for anticancer target therapy. Besides, drug loading/release characterization reveals that the CoNWs interact with doxorubicin (DOX) by electrostatic interaction, and accordingly form a composite which can release DOX with temperature increase under near-infrared light (NIR) treatment. And anticancer test reveals that the nanowires loaded with the DOX (CoNWs-DOX) can produce an effective chemo-photothermal synergistic therapeutic effect against murine breast cancer cell lines (4T1) and human osteosarcoma cell lines (MG63) under NIR treatment. Furthermore, angiogenesis assessment reveals that the released cobalt ion from the nanowires can significantly enhance the angiogenesis efficacy after cancer treatment. These results suggest that the constructed anticancer therapeutic system provides a promising multifunctional platform for cancer treatment and postoperative recovery.

Abstract
Conventional systemic chemotherapeutic regimens suffer from challenges such as nonspecificity, shorter half-life, clearance of drugs, and dose-limiting toxicity. Localized delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs through noninvasive spatiotemporally controllable stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems could overcome these drawbacks while utilizing drugs approved for cancer treatment. In this regard, we developed photoelectro active nanocomposite silk-based drug delivery systems (DDS) exhibiting on-demand drug release in vivo. A functionally modified single-walled carbon nanotube loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) was embedded within a cross-linker free silk hydrogel. The resultant nanocomposite silk hydrogel showed electrical field responsiveness and near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced hyperthermal effect. The remote application of these stimuli in tandem or independent manner led to the increased thermal and electrical conductivity of nanocomposite hydrogel, which effectively triggered the intermittent on-demand drug release. In a proof-of-concept in vivo tumor regression study, the nanocomposite hydrogel was administered in a minimally invasive way at the periphery of the tumor by covering most of it. During the 21-day study, drastic tumor regression was recorded upon regular stimulation of nanocomposite hydrogel with simultaneous or individual external application of an electric field and NIR laser. Tumor cell death marker expression analysis uncovered the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells leading to its shrinkage. Heart ultrasound and histology revealed no cardiotoxicity associated with localized DOX treatment. To our knowledge, this is also the first report to show the simultaneous application of electric field and NIR laser in vivo for localized tumor therapy, and our results suggested that such strategy might have high clinical translational potential.

Abstract
Bio-based drug carriers have gained significant importance in Control Drug Delivery Systems (CDDS). In the present work, a new iron-based magnetic nano bio-composite (nano-Fe-CNB) is developed in a one-step dry calcination process (solventless) using a seaweed-based biopolymer. The detailed analysis of the developed nano Fe-CNB is carried out using FE-SEM, HR-TEM, P-XRD, XPS, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR etc. and shows that nano-Fe-CNB consists of nanoparticles of 5–10 nm decorated on 7–8 nm thick 2-D graphitic carbon material. The impregnation of nano-Fe-CNB into the calcium alginate (CA) hydrogel beads is found to have good drug loading capacity as well as pH responsive control release behavior which is demonstrated using doxorubicin (DOX) as a model cancer drug. The drug loading experiments exhibit ∼94% loading of DOX and release shows ∼38% and ∼8% release of DOX at pH 5.4 and 7.4 respectively. The developed nano Fe-CNB facilitates strong electrostatic interactions with cationic DOX molecules at pH 7.4 and thereby restricts the release of the drug at physiological pH. However, at cancer cell pH (5.4), the interaction between the drug and nano-Fe-CNB reduces which facilitates more drug release at pH 5.4. Thus, the developed nano-biocomposite has the potential to reduce the undesired side effects associated with faster release of drugs.

Abstract
Fluorinated hydrocarbon (FHC) contamination has attracted global attention recently because of persistence within the environment and ecosystems of many types of FHC. The surfactant perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is particularly commonly found in contaminated sites, and thus, urgent action is needed for its removal from the environment. In this study, water dispersible hybrid capsules were successfully prepared from an oil-in-water emulsion stabilized by graphene oxide and including a silicate precursor to grow a strong, mesoporous capsule shell surrounding the droplets. These capsules were decorated with amine groups to present a positively charged outer corona that attracts negative PFOA molecules. The aminated capsules were effectively applied as a novel technology to adsorb and sequester PFOA contamination in water. It was confirmed that PFOA removal by the capsules was pH and PFOA concentration dependent, with adsorption efficiencies of >60 mg g-1 under ideal conditions. PFOA removal kinetics followed using high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry showed that capture of PFOA by the capsules reached a maximum of >99.9% in 2-3 days.

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery will be gradually applied to the surgical treatment of bone tumors. One of the difficulties in the minimally invasive treatment of bone tumors is the lack of injectable materials that can be used to treat tumor-induced bone defects. Therefore, it is imperative to develop an injectable bone filler that can not only be injected into the defect site by minimally invasive methods to provide strong support and repair bone tissue but also inactivate residual tumor cells around the defect. To achieve this aim, in our study, for the first time, we doped Fe3O4/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites into α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP)/calcium sulfate (CS) biphasic bone cement to prepare an injectable magnetic bone cement (α-TCP/CS/Fe3O4/GO, αCFG), which can be applied in bone tumor minimally invasive surgery and fit ideally even if the area is irregular. The magnetothermal performance of the αCFG bone cement could be well adjusted by altering the content of Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites and the magnetic field parameters, but a 10 wt % Fe3O4/GO content formed the most stable bone cement with excellent magnetothermal performance. The αCFG bone cement not only promotes bone regeneration but also exhibits enhanced tumor treatment effects. Such multifunctional bone cement could provide a promising clinical strategy for the minimally invasive treatment of tumor-induced bone destruction.

Abstract
Graphene has attracted attention in the material field of functional microcapsules because of its excellent characteristics. The content and state of graphene in shells are critical for the properties of microcapsules, which are greatly affected by the charge adsorption equilibrium. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of pH value on the microstructure and properties of self-assembly graphene microcapsules in regard to chemical engineering. Microcapsule samples were prepared containing liquid paraffin by a self-assembly polymerization method with graphene/organic hybrid shells. The morphology, average size and shell thickness parameters were investigated for five microcapsule samples fabricated under pH values of 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. The existence and state of graphene in dry microcapsule samples were analyzed by using methods of scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectoscopy (FT-IR) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) were applied to analyze the graphene content in shells. These results proved that graphene had existed in shells and the pH values greatly influenced the graphene deposition on shells. It was found that the microcapsule sample fabricated under pH = 5 experienced the largest graphene deposited on shells with the help of macromolecules entanglement and electrostatic adherence. This microcapsules sample had enhanced thermal stability and larger thermal conductivity because of additional graphene in shells. Nanoindentation tests showed this sample had the capability of deforming resistance under pressure coming from the composite structure of graphene/polymer structure. Moreover, more graphene decreased the penetrability of core material out of microcapsule shells.

Abstract
Nanocapsules present a promising platform for delivering chemicals and biomolecules to a site of action in a living organism. Because the biological action of the encapsulated molecules is blocked until they are released from the nanocapsules, the encapsulation structure enables triggering of the topical and timely action of the molecules at the target site. A similar mechanism seems promising for the spatiotemporal control of signal transduction triggered by the release of signal molecules in neuronal, metabolic, and immune systems. From this perspective, nanocapsules can be regarded as practical tools to apply signal molecules such as neurotransmitters to intervene in signal transduction. However, spatiotemporal control of the payload release from nanocapsules persists as a key technical issue. Stimulus-responsive nanocapsules that release payloads in response to external input of physical stimuli are promising platforms to enable programmed payload release. These programmable nanocapsules encapsulating neurotransmitters are expected to lead to new insights and perspectives related to artificial extracellular synaptic vesicles that might provide an experimental and therapeutic strategy for neuromodulation and nervous system disorders.

Abstract
The extensive research of graphene and its derivatives in biomedical applications during the past few years has witnessed its significance in the field of nanomedicine. Starting from simple drug delivery systems, the application of graphene and its derivatives has been extended to a versatile platform of multiple therapeutic modalities, including photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and sonodynamic therapy. In addition to monotherapy, graphene-based materials are widely applied in combined therapies for enhanced anticancer activity and reduced side effects. In particular, graphene-based materials are often designed and fabricated as "smart" platforms for stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, whose therapeutic effects can be activated by the tumor microenvironment, such as acidic pH and elevated glutathione (termed as "endogenous stimuli"), or light, magnetic, or ultrasonic stimuli (termed as "exogenous stimuli"). Herein, the recent advances of smart graphene platforms for combined therapy applications are presented, starting with the principle for the design of graphene-based smart platforms in combined therapy applications. Next, recent advances of combined therapies contributed by graphene-based materials, including chemotherapy-based, photothermal-therapy-based, and ultrasound-therapy-based synergistic therapy, are outlined. In addition, current challenges and future prospects regarding this promising field are discussed.

Abstract
Ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USIO NPs) with a size <5nm are a class of emerging nanomaterials. As a result of their intrinsic drawbacks related to poor colloidal stability, low r1 relaxivity, and lack of functionality, various strategies have been adopted to synthesize USIO NPs with controllable sizes, to surface modify the particles with polymers, and to assemble them in combination with other nanoscale platforms. Here, we review recent progresses in the synthesis, surface modification, and self-assembly of USIO NPs to address key issues in their biomedical application in the field of cancer diagnosis and therapy, in particular magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, dual-modal or multimodal imaging, drug delivery, and theranostics.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to prepare ultraviolet (UV) triggered controlled release of compounds from microcapsule systems (MCs). Polyurethane (PU) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microcapsules were studied with/without chemical functionalization using photocatalytic TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) on their surface. Once TiO2 nanoparticles are illuminated with UV light (λ = 370 nm), they initiate the rupture of the polymeric bonds of the microcapsule and subsequently initiate the encapsulated compound release, methotrexate (MTX) or rhodamine (Rh), in the present work. The size, polydispersity, charge, and yield of all MCs were measured, being the methotrexate drug release for all systems determined and compared with and without functionalization with TiO2 NPs, under dark, visible light and UV illumination in vitro. Finally, the Rh release was characterized using fluorescence microscopy. The TiO2 NPs size is around 10 nm, as determined by X-ray diffraction experiments. The PU MCs average size is around 60 µm, its electric charge +3.11 mV and yield around 85%. As for the PMMA MCs, the average size is around 280 µm, its electric charge -7.2 mV and yield around 25% and 30% for both MTX and Rh, respectively. In general, adding TiO2 NPs or the encapsulated products to the MCs does not affect the size but functionalization with TiO2 NPs lowers the electric charge. Microcapsules functionalized with TiO2 nanoparticles and irradiated with UV light presented the highest release of MTX and Rh. All other samples showed lower drug release levels when studied under the same conditions.

Abstract
We report a novel approach to directly measure the interactions and deposition behavior of functional capsule delivery systems on glass substrates versus the concentration of an anionic surfactant sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) and a cationic acrylamide-acrylamidopropyltrimonium copolymer (AAC). Analyses of three-dimensional optical microscopy trajectories were used to quantify lateral diffusive dynamics, deposition lifetimes, and potentials of mean force for different solution conditions. In the absence of additives, negatively charged capsule surfaces yield electrostatic repulsion with the negatively charged substrate, which inhibits deposition. With an increasing SLES concentration below the critical micelle concentration (CMC), capsule-substrate electrostatic repulsion is mediated by the charged surfactant solution that decreases the Debye length. Above the SLES CMC, depletion attraction causes enhanced deposition until eventually depletion repulsion inhibits deposition at concentrations ∼10 wt %. Addition of an ACC causes deposition via capsule-substrate bridging at all concentrations; the weakest deposition occurs at intermediate AAC concentrations from a competition of steric repulsion and attraction via a few extended bridges. The novel measurements and models of capsule interactions and deposition on substrates in this work provide a basis to fundamentally understand and rationally design complex rinse-off cleansing formulations with optimal characteristics.

Abstract
Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (NPs), the most traditional magnetic nanoparticles, have received a great deal of attention in the biomedical field, especially for targeted drug/gene delivery systems, due to their outstanding magnetism, biocompatibility, lower toxicity, biodegradability, and other features. Naked Fe₃O₄ NPs are easy to aggregate and oxidize, and thus are often made with various coatings to realize superior properties for targeted drug/gene delivery. In this review, we first list the three commonly utilized synthesis methods of Fe₃O₄ NPs, and their advantages and disadvantages. In the second part, we describe coating materials that exhibit noticeable features that allow functionalization of Fe₃O₄ NPs and summarize their methods of drug targeting/gene delivery. Then our efforts will be devoted to the research status and progress of several different functionalized Fe₃O₄ NP delivery systems loaded with chemotherapeutic agents, and we present targeted gene transitive carriers in detail. In the following section, we illuminate the most effective treatment systems of the combined drug and gene therapy. Finally, we propose opportunities and challenges of the clinical transformation of Fe₃O₄ NPs targeting drug/gene delivery systems.
