Abstract
Nanoparticle-based systems are extensively investigated for drug delivery. Among others, with superior biocompatibility and enhanced targeting capacity, albumin appears to be a promising carrier for drug delivery. Albumin nanoparticles are highly favored in many disease therapies, as they have the proper chemical groups for modification, cell-binding sites for cell adhesion, and affinity to protein drugs for nanocomplex generation. Herein, this review summarizes the recent fabrication techniques, modification strategies, and application of albumin nanoparticles. We first discuss various albumin nanoparticle fabrication methods, from both pros and cons. Then, we provide a comprehensive introduction to the modification section, including organic albumin nanoparticles, metal albumin nanoparticles, inorganic albumin nanoparticles, and albumin nanoparticle-based hybrids. We finally bring further perspectives on albumin nanoparticles used for various critical diseases.

Abstract
Protein-based nanoparticles have garnered significant attention in theranostic applications due to their superior biocompatibility, exceptional biodegradability and ease of functionality. Compared to other nanocarriers, protein-based nanoparticles offer additional advantages, including biofunctionality and precise molecular recognition abilities, which make them highly effective in navigating complex biological environments. Moreover, proteins can serve as powerful tools with self-assembling structures and reagents that enhance cell penetration. And their derivation from abundant renewable sources and ability to degrade into harmless amino acids further enhance their suitability for biomedical applications. However, protein-based nanoparticles have so far not realized their full potential. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the use of protein nanoparticles in tumor diagnosis and treatment and outline typical methods for preparing protein nanoparticles. The review of protein nanoparticles may provide useful new insights into the development of biomaterial fabrication.

Abstract
Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS) hold tremendous potential for applications in photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). However, the conventional chemical coprecipitation method often leads to particle agglomeration issues. To overcome this challenge, we utilized polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizing agent, resulting in the synthesis of small PVP-CuS nanoparticles named PC10, PCK30, and PC40. Our study aimed to investigate how different molecular weights of PVP influence the nanoparticles' crystalline characteristics and essential properties, especially their photoacoustic and photothermal responses. While prior research on PVP-assisted CuS nanoparticles has been conducted, our study delves deeper into this area, providing insights into optical properties. Remarkably, all synthesized nanoparticles exhibited a crystalline structure, were smaller than 10 nm, and featured an absorbance peak at 1020 nm, indicating their robust photoacoustic and photothermal capabilities. Among these nanoparticles, PC10 emerged as the standout performer, displaying superior photoacoustic properties. Our photothermal experiments demonstrated significant temperature increases in all cases, with PC10 achieving an impressive efficiency of 51%. Moreover, cytotoxicity assays revealed the nanoparticles' compatibility with cells, coupled with an enhanced incidence of apoptosis compared to necrosis. These findings underscore the promising potential of PVP-stabilized CuS nanoparticles for advanced cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Fisetin (FIS) is a multifunctional bioactive flavanol that has been recently exploited as anticancer drug against various cancers including breast cancer. However, its poor aqueous solubility has constrained its clinical application. In the current work, fisetin is complexed for the first time with soy phosphatidylcholine in the presence of cholesterol to form a novel biocompatible phytosomal system entitled "cholephytosomes." To improve fisetin antitumor activity against breast cancer, stearylamine bearing cationic cholephytosomes (mPHY) were prepared and furtherly modified with hyaluronic acid (HPHY) to allow their orientation to cancer cells through their surface exposed phosphatidylserine and CD-44 receptors, respectively. In vitro characterization studies revealed promising physicochemical properties of both modified vesicles (mPHY and HPHY) including excellent FIS complexation efficiency (˷100%), improved octanol/water solubility along with a sustained drug release over 24 h. In vitro cell line studies against MDA-MB-231 cell line showed about 10- and 3.5-fold inhibition in IC50 of modified vesicles compared with free drug and conventional drug-phospholipid complex, respectively. Preclinical studies revealed that both modified cholephytosomes (mPHY and HPHY) had comparable cytotoxicity that is significantly surpassing free drug cytotoxicity. TGF-β1and its non-canonical related signaling pathway; ERK1/2, NF-κB, and MMP-9 were involved in halting tumorigenesis. Thus, tailoring novel phytosomal nanosystems for FIS could open opportunity for its clinical utility against cancer.

Abstract
Protein nanoparticles are promising targeted drug delivery carriers due to their low toxicity, biodegradability, and abundance of proteins in natural sources. Also, protein nanoparticles enable surface modification with other functional proteins or carbohydrate ligands, which improves the efficacy of targeted drug delivery. Nonetheless, a persistent challenge remains to make versatile protein nanoparticles that deliver diverse types of drugs in a wide range of water solubility. Herein, we describe the methods to fabricate nanoparticles made from bovine serum albumin (BSA) that allow for the encapsulation of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules, doxorubicin and bilirubin, respectively.

Abstract
Polyphenols have a variety of physiological activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, their applications are often limited because due to the instability of polyphenols. Encapsulation technologies can be employed to overcome these problems and increase the utilization of polyphenols. In this article, the utilization of protein-based nanoparticles for encapsulating polyphenols is reviewed due to their good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and functional attributes. Initially, the various kinds of animal and plant proteins available for forming protein nanoparticles are discussed, as well as the fabrication methods that can be used to assemble these nanoparticles. The molecular interaction mechanisms between proteins and polyphenols are then summarized. Applications of protein-based nanoparticles for encapsulating polyphenols are then discussed, including as nutrient delivery systems, in food packaging materials, and in the creation of functional foods. Finally, areas where further research is need on the development, characterization, and application of protein-based polyphenol-loaded nanoparticles are highlighted.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a common outcome of epithelial ovarian carcinoma and is the leading cause of death for these patients. Tumor location, extent, peculiarities of the microenvironment, and the development of drug resistance are the main challenges that need to be addressed to improve therapeutic outcome. The development of new procedures such as HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) and PIPAC (Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy) have enabled locoregional delivery of chemotherapeutics, while the increasingly efficient design and development of advanced drug delivery micro and nanosystems are helping to promote tumor targeting and penetration and to reduce the side effects associated with systemic chemotherapy administration. The possibility of combining drug-loaded carriers with delivery via HIPEC and PIPAC represents a powerful tool to improve treatment efficacy, and this possibility has recently begun to be explored. This review will discuss the latest advances in the treatment of PC derived from ovarian cancer, with a focus on the potential of PIPAC and nanoparticles in terms of their application to develop new therapeutic strategies and future prospects.

Abstract
This study demonstrated the influences of ultrasound-assisted multilayer Pickering double emulsion capsules on the pasteurization and gastrointestinal digestive viability of probiotic (L. plantarum) strain liquid. Firstly, the role of ultrasonic homogenization on the morphology of W1/O/W2 double emulsions were studied. The double emulsion formed by ultrasonic intensity at 285 W had a single and narrow distribution with smallest droplet size. The double emulsion particles were then coated with chitosan(Chi), alginate (Alg), and CaCl2(Ca). The multilayer emulsion after pasteurization and gastrointestinal digestion both had the highest viability at 5 coating layers, but its particle size (108.65 μm) exceeded the limit of human oral sensory (80 μm). It could be noted that the deposition of 3-4 layers of coating had similar activity after pasteurization/GIT digestion. And droplets with 3 layers of coating were the minimum and most available formulation for encapsulated probiotics (L. plantarum). Hence, the results suggest that the use of ultrasound-assisted multilayer emulsions encapsulated with probiotics in granular food and pharmaceutical applications is a promising strategy.

Abstract
Sortase A (SrtA) is an enzyme which attaches proteins, including virulence factors, to bacterial cell walls. It is a potential target for developing anti-virulence agents against pathogenic and antimicrobial resistant bacteria. This study aimed to engineer 𝛽-lactoglobulin protein nanoparticles (PNPs) for encapsulating safe and inexpensive natural SrtA inhibitors (SrtAIs; trans-chalcone (TC), curcumin (CUR), quercetin (QC), and berberine (BR)) to improve their poor aqueous dispersibility, to screen for synergy with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), and to reduce the cost, dose, and toxicity of AMPs. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), checkerboard synergy, and cell viability assays were performed for SrtAI PNPs against Gram-positive (methicillin-sensitive and -resistant S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli, P. aeruginosa) bacteria alone and combined with leading AMPs (pexiganan, indolicidin, and a mastoparan derivative). Each SrtAI PNP inhibited Gram-positive (MIC: 62.5-125 µg/mL) and Gram-negative (MIC: 31.3-500 µg/mL) bacterial growth. TC PNPs with pexiganan demonstrated synergy against each bacteria, while BR PNPs with pexiganan or indolicidin provided synergy towards S. aureus. Each SrtAI PNP inhibited SrtA (IC50: 25.0-81.8 µg/mL), and did not affect HEK-293 cell viability at their MIC or optimal synergistic concentrations with AMPs. Overall, this study provides a safe nanoplatform for enhancing antimicrobial synergy to develop treatments for superbug infections.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in bone adhesives applied for full median sternotomy, the regeneration of bone defects has remained challenging since the healing process is hampered by poor adhesiveness, limited bioactivity, and lack of antibacterial functions. Bioinspired adhesives by marine organisms provide a novel concept to circumvent these problems. Herein, a dual cross-link strategy is employed in designing a multifaceted bioinspired adhesive consisting of a catechol amine-functionalized hyperbranched polymer (polydopamine-co-acrylate, PDA), bredigite (BR) nanoparticles, and Fe3+ ions. The hybrid adhesives exhibit strong adhesion to various substrates such as poly(methyl methacrylate), glass, bone, and skin tissues through synergy between irreversible covalent and reversible noncovalent cross-linking, depending on the BR content. Noticeably, the adhesion strength of hybrid adhesives containing 2 wt % BR nanoparticles to bone tissues is 2.3 ± 0.8 MPa, which is about 3 times higher than that of pure PDA adhesives. We also demonstrate that these hybrid adhesives not only are bioactive and accelerate in vitro bone-like apatite formation but also exhibit antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, depending on the BR concentration. Furthermore, the superior cellular responses in contact with hybrid adhesives, including improved human osteosarcoma MG63 cell spreading and osteogenic differentiation, are achieved owing to the appropriate ion release and flexibility of the cross-linked double-network adhesive. In summary, multifunctional hybrid PDA/BR adhesives with appreciable osteoconductive, mechanical, and antibacterial properties represent the potential applications for median sternotomy surgery as a bone tissue adhesive.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human serum albumin is the most abundant transport protein in plasma, which has recently been extensively utilized to form nanoparticles for drug delivery in cancer. The primary reason for selecting albumin protein as drug delivery cargo is its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-immunogenicity. Moreover, the albumin structure containing three homologous domains constituted of a single polypeptide (585 amino acid) incorporates various hydrophobic drugs by non-covalent interactions. Albumin shows active tumor targeting via their interaction with gp60 and SPARC proteins abundant in the tumor-associated endothelial cells and the tumor microenvironment. AREAS COVERED The review discusses the importance of albumin as a drug-carrier system, general procedures to prepare albumin NPs, and the current trends in using albumin-based nanomedicines to deliver various chemotherapeutic agents. The various applications of albumin in the nanomedicines, such as NPs surface modifier and fabrication of hybrid/active-tumor targeted NPs, are delineated based on current trends. EXPERT OPINION Nanomedicines have the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. However, clinical translation is limited majorly due to the lack of suitable nanomaterials offering systemic stability, optimum drug encapsulation, tumor-targeted delivery, sustained drug release, and biocompatibility. The potential of albumin could be explored in nanomedicines fabrication for superior treatment outcomes in cancer.

Abstract
Polymeric nanocarriers (NCs) are efficient vehicles to prevent drug unspecific biodistribution and increase the drug amounts delivered to tumor tissues. However, some toxicological aspects of NCs still lack a comprehensive assessment, such as their effects on cellular processes that lead to toxicity. We evaluate the interaction of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NCs prepared using dextran (Dex) and Pluronic®-F127 as stabilizing agents with myocardial cells (H9C2), breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7) and macrophages (RAW 264.7) to address the effect of Dex in PLGA NC formulations. By an emulsion diffusion method, doxorubicin-loaded NCs were prepared with no Dex (PLGA-DOX), 1% (w/v) Dex (Dex1/PLGA-DOX) and 5% (w/v) Dex (Dex5/PLGA-DOX). Uptake analyses revealed a significant reduction in Dex5/PLGA-DOX NC uptake by H9C2 and MCF-7, as in the case of Dex1/PLGA-DOX NCs in the absence of in vitro protein corona, revealing an effect of dextran concentration on the formation of protein corona. RAW 264.7 cells presented a greater uptake of Dex5/PLGA-DOX NCs than the other NCs likely because of receptor mediated endocytosis, since C-type lectins like SIGN-R1, mannose receptors and scavenger receptor type 1 that are expressed in RAW 264.7 can mediate Dex uptake. Despite the lower uptake, Dex5/PLGA-DOX NCs promote the generation of reactive oxygen species and oxidative membrane damage in MCF-7 and H9C2 even though cellular metabolic activity assessed by MTT was comparable among all the NCs. Our results highlight the importance of an in-depth investigation of the NC-cell interaction considering additional mechanisms of damage apart from metabolic variations, as nanoparticle-induced damage is not limited to imbalance in metabolic processes, but also associated with other mechanisms, e.g., membrane and DNA damage.

Abstract
The targeted delivery of cancer drugs to tumor-specific molecular targets represents a major challenge in modern personalized cancer medicine. Engineering of micron and submicron polymeric multilayer capsules allows the obtaining of multifunctional theranostic systems serving as controllable stimulus-responsive tools with a high clinical potential to be used in cancer therapy and detection. The functionalities of such theranostic systems are determined by the design and structural properties of the capsules. This review (1) describes the current issues in designing cancer cell-targeting polymeric multilayer capsules, (2) analyzes the effects of the interactions of the capsules with the cellular and molecular constituents of biological fluids, and (3) presents the key structural parameters determining the effectiveness of capsule targeting. The influence of the morphological and physicochemical parameters and the origin of the structural components and surface ligands on the functional activity of polymeric multilayer capsules at the molecular, cellular, and whole-body levels are summarized. The basic structural and functional principles determining the future trends of theranostic capsule development are established and discussed.

Abstract
Supramolecular prodrugs that combine the merits of stimuli-responsiveness and targeting ability in a controllable manner have shown appealing prospects in disease diagnostics and therapeutics. Herein, we report that a new theranostic agent with the host-guest-binding-activated photosensitization has been fabricated by a binary supramolecular assembly consisting of the permethyl-β-cyclodextrin-grafted hyaluronic acid and a combretastatin A-4-appended porphyrin derivative. Illuminated by a red-light source, the production efficiency of singlet oxygen (1O2) pronouncedly increases by ∼60-fold once the porphyrin core is encapsulated by cyclodextrins. Consequently, the cell-selective fluorescence emission is dramatically enhanced, the microtubule-targeted drug is rapidly and completely released, and the 1O2-involved combinational treatment is simultaneously achieved both in vitro and in vivo. To be envisaged, this complexation-boosted light-activatable photosensitizing prodrug delivery system with improved photophysical performance and remarkable phototheranostic outcomes will make a significant contribution to the creation of more advanced stimulus-based biomaterials.

Abstract
Cancer is the prime cause of mortality throughout the world. Although the conventional chemotherapeutic agents damage the cancerous cells, they exert prominent injury to the normal cells owing to their lack of specificity. With advances in science, many research studies have been established to boost the cytotoxic effect of the chemotherapeutic agents via innovating novel nano-formulations having different variables. In the current meta-analysis study, combined data from different research articles were gathered for the evidence-based proof of the superiority of drug loaded nanocarriers over their corresponding conventional solutions in boosting the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy in terms of IC50 values. The meta-analysis was subdivided into three subgroups; nanoparticles versus nanofibers, surface functionalized nanocarriers versus naked ones, and protein versus non-protein-based platforms. The different subgroups interestingly showed distinct scoring outcome data paving the road for cytotoxicity enhancement of the anti-cancer drugs in an evidence-based manner.

Abstract
An important motivation for the use of nanomaterials and nanoarchitectures in cancer therapy emanates from the widespread emergence of drug resistance. Although doxorubicin (DOX) induces cell cycle arrest and DNA damage by suppressing topoisomerase activity, resistance to DOX has severely restricted its anti-cancer potential. Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been extensively utilized for synthesizing nanoparticles as it interacts with CD44 expressed on the surface of cancer cells. Cancer cells can take up HA-modified nanoparticles through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Various types of nanostructures such as carbon nanomaterials, lipid nanoparticles and polymeric nanocarriers have been modified with HA to enhance the delivery of DOX to cancer cells. Hyaluronic acid-based advanced materials provide a platform for the co-delivery of genes and drugs along with DOX to enhance the efficacy of anti-cancer therapy and overcome chemoresistance. In the present review, the potential methods and application of HA-modified nanostructures for DOX delivery in anti-cancer therapy are discussed.

Hyaluronic Acid-Functionalized Nanomicelles Enhance SAHA Efficacy in 3D Endometrial Cancer Models. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13164032.

Abstract
Simple Summary One of the major limitations to cancer therapies are the side effects caused by the drug interacting with any tissue in the body. There is often a balance between patient health and effectively treating the disease. To by-pass this balancing act nanoparticles are being used to deliver therapeutics straight to the tumors, acting as “Trojan Horses”. Endometrial cancers are known to have more of the cell surface protein CD44 than healthy tissues. Here, to efficiently target endometrial cancer, hyaluronic acid, which naturally binds to the CD44 protein was attached to the surface of nanoparticles and tested on microtissues or spheroids to better model a tumor and understand drug delivery performance. We show that our hyaluronic acid-nanoparticle formulations improve drug effects and interact with the cancer cells more than without this targeting agent. Abstract Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes are upregulated in cancer leading to the development of HDAC inhibiting compounds, several of which are currently in clinical trials. Side effects associated with toxicity and non-specific targeting indicate the need for efficient drug delivery approaches and tumor specific targeting to enhance HDAC efficacy in solid tumor cancers. SAHA encapsulation within F127 micelles functionalized with a surface hyaluronic acid moiety, was developed to target endometrial cancer cells expressing elevated levels of CD44. In vitro viability and morphology analyses was conducted in both 2D and 3D models to assess the translational potential of this approach. Encapsulation enhanced SAHA delivery and activity, demonstrating increased cytotoxic efficacy in 2D and 3D endometrial cancer models. High-content imaging showed improved nanoparticle internalization in 2D and CD44 enhanced penetration in 3D models. In addition, the nano-delivery system enhanced spheroid penetration resulting in cell growth suppression, p21 associated cell cycle arrest, as well as overcoming the formation of an EMT associated phenotype observed in free drug treated type II endometrial cancer cells. This study demonstrates that targeted nanoparticle delivery of SAHA could provide the basis for improving its efficacy in endometrial cancer. Using 3D models for endometrial cancer allows the elucidation of nanoparticle performance and CD44 targeting, likely through penetration and retention within the tumor model.

Combination chemotherapeutic and immune-therapeutic anticancer approach via anti-PD-L1 antibody conjugated albumin nanoparticles. Int J Pharm 2021; 605:120816.

Abstract
Anticancer regimens have been substantially enriched through monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoints, programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4. Inconsistent clinical efficacy after solo immunotherapy may be compensated by nanotechnology-driven combination therapy. We loaded human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles with paclitaxel (PTX) via nanoparticle albumin-bound technology and pooled them with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody through a pH-sensitive linker for targeting and immune response activation. Our tests demonstrated satisfactory preparation of paclitaxel-loaded, PD-L1-targeted albumin nanoparticles (PD-L1/PTX@HSA). They had small particle size (~200 nm) and polydispersity index (~0.12) and successfully incorporated each constituent. Relative to normal physiological pH, the formulation exhibited higher drug-release profiles favoring cancer cell-targeted release at low pH. Modifying nanoparticles with programmed cell death-ligand 1 increased cancer cell internalization in vitro and tumor accumulation in vivo in comparison with non-PD-L1-modified nanoparticles. PD-L1/PTX@HSA constructed by nanoparticle albumin-bound technology displayed successful tumor inhibition efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. There was successful effector T-cell infiltration, immunosuppressive programmed cell death-ligand 1, and regulatory T-cell suppression because of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 synergy. Moreover, PD-L1/PTX@HSA had low organ toxicity. Hence, the anti-tumor immune responses of PD-L1/PTX@HSA combined with chemotherapy and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 is a potential anti-tumor strategy for improving quantitative and qualitative clinical efficacy.

Abstract
The stability of self-assembled drug nanocarriers during blood circulation and the controlled intracellular drug delivery are two challenges in cancer therapy. In this paper, we constructed an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/hyaluronidase(Hyals) dually responsive core-shell hyaluronan/chitosan-based drug nanocarrier for breast cancer therapy, using SNX-loaded 3-fluoro-4-carboxyphenylboronic acid-conjugated quaternary ammonium chitosan nanoparticles (SNX@HTCC-FPBA NPs) as the core and crosslinked polyethylene glycol-/methacrylate-modified hyaluronic acid (mHA-PEG) as the shell. The formed SNX@HTCC-FPBA/mHA-PEG NPs were stable against salt ion strength, pH values and human plasma mimicking the bloodstream, but ATP/Hyals dually sensitive with a drug delivery of 85% within 48 h in the mimicking intracellular environment of breast cancer cells. These nanoparticles showed a low hemolysis of less than 3%, a high resistance to bovine serum albumin adsorption of 0.06 mg/mg, and an efficient internalization by two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453). The cell culture indicated that they were friendly to human skin fibroblasts, but presented a close IC50 value to SNX for MCF-7 (0.14 μg mL-1) and MDA-MB-453 (0.05 μg mL-1) at 48 h, respectively. Thus, SNX@HTCC-FPBA/mHA-PEG NPs were potential drug nanocarriers for breast tumor therapy.

Abstract
For reversing the treatment failure in P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-associated MDR (multidrug resistance) of breast cancer, a high dose of Lapatinib (Lap), a substrate of breast cancer-resistant protein, was encapsulated into safe and effective acid-cleavable polysaccharide-doxorubicin (Dox) conjugates to form targeted HPP-Dox/Lap nanoparticles with an optimal drug ratio and appropriate nanosize decorated with oligomeric hyaluronic acid (HA) for specially targeting overexpressed CD44 receptors of MCF-7/ADR. The markedly increased cellular uptake and the strongest synergetic cytotoxicity revealed the enhanced reversal efficiency of HPP-Dox/Lap nanoparticles with reversal multiples at 29.83. This was also verified by the enhanced penetrating capacity in multicellular tumor spheroids. The reinforced Dox retention and substantial down-regulation of P-gp expression implied the possible mechanism of MDR reversal. Furthermore, the efficient ex vivo accumulation and distribution of nanoparticles in the tumor site and the high tumor growth inhibition (93%) even at a lower dosage (1 mg/kg) as well as lung metastasis inhibition in vivo with negligible side effects revealed the overwhelming advantages of targeted polysaccharide nanoparticles and Lap-sensitizing effect against drug-resistant tumor. The development of an efficient and nontoxic-targeted polysaccharide delivery system for reversing MDR by synergistic therapy might provide a potential clinical application value.

Abstract
Cancer is highly heterogeneous in nature and characterized by abnormal, uncontrolled cells' growth. It is responsible for the second leading cause of death in the world. Nanotechnology is explored profoundly for sitespecific delivery of cancer chemotherapeutics as well as overcome multidrug-resistance (MDR) challenges in cancer. The progress in the design of various smart biocompatible materials (such as polymers, lipids and inorganic materials) has now revolutionized the area of cancer research for the rational design of nanomedicine by surface engineering with targeting ligands. The small tunable size and surface properties of nanomedicines provide the opportunity of multiple payloads and multivalent-ligand targeting to achieve drug efficacy even in MDR cancer. Furthermore, efforts are being carried out for the development of novel nano-pharmaceutical design, focusing on the delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents simultaneously which is called theranostics to assess the progress of therapy in cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyaluronan (HA) based biomaterials are widely used as tissue scaffolds, drug formulations, as well as targeting ligands and imaging probes for diagnosis and drug delivery. However, because of the presence of abundant endogenous HA presented in various tissues in vivo, the pharmacokinetic behavior and biodistribution patterns of exogenously administered HAs have not been well characterized. METHODS The HA backbone was modified with Diethylenetriamine (DTPA) to enable the chelation of gadolinium (Gd) and aluminum (Al) ions. Series of PET and MR imaging were taken after the injection of HA-DTPA-Gd and HA-DTPA-Al18F while using18F-FDG and Magnevist(DTPA-Gd) as controls. The Tomographic images were analyzed and quantified to reveal the distribution and locations of HA in tumor-bearing mice. RESULTS The labeled HAs had good stability in plasma. They retained binding affinity towards CD44s on tumor cell surface. The injected HAs distributed widely in various organs, but were found to be cleared quickly except inside tumor tissues where the signals were higher and persisted longer. CONCLUSION Medical imaging tools, including MR and PET, can be highly valuable for examining biomaterial distribution non-invasively. The HA tumor accumulation properties may be explored for the development of active targeting drug carriers and molecular probes.

Abstract
This paper explores different film assembly conditions of the polyelectrolyte solutions of hyaluronan (HA) and chitosan (CHI), as well as both substrate and cell surface modifications, to investigate PC3 cells adhesion properties. UV-Visible, AFM-IR and Zeta potential techniques indicate that the solution ionic strength is a relevant parameter to modulate the free carboxylic groups of HA on the film surface. In addition, capacitive coupling measurements suggest that assembly conditions that favor surface charge mobility inhibit cell adhesion due to polymer rearrangements that support non-specific electrostatic interactions of positively charged CHI residues and the negatively charged cell moieties, rather than specific CD44-hyaluronan interactions. Moreover, the PC3 cells treatment with hyaluronidase and anti-CD44 antibody also highlighted the importance of CD44 binding site availability on the tumor cell adhesion properties. Finally, the conjugation of wheat germ agglutinin on the film surface proved to be a suitable strategy to boost the PC3 cell adhesion properties. Our results reveal the remarkable capacity of HA/CHI films to modulate cell-substrate properties, which pave the road for the development of surfaces suitable for several applications based on biosensing.

Abstract
Based on the antisolvent and electrostatic deposition methods, we fabricated zein/hyaluronic acid core-shell nanoparticles loaded with honokiol (HA-Zein-HNK), which could target delivery and enhance the therapeutic effect of the HNK. The prepared nanoparticles were found to have a mean size of 210.4 nm and negative surface charge. The HA-Zein-HNK nanoparticles exhibited improved antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activities against 4T1 cells. Of note, the wound healing and transwell assessments indicated that the migration and invasion of 4T1 cells were markedly weakened by HA-Zein-HNK. Mechanistic insights revealed that HA-Zein-HNK downregulated the expressions of Vimentin and upregulated the expressions of E-cadherin. More importantly, an in vivo tissue distribution study demonstrated the excellent tumor target ability of HA-Zein. And these results correspond with the superior therapeutic efficacy of HA-Zein-HNK in 4T1 tumor bearing mice. In conclusion, we believe that HA-Zein nanoparticles may be served as a promising HNK delivery carrier for metastatic breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Curcumin and piperine are natural nutraceuticals that exhibit synergistic biological activities, but have different polarities, which can make their encapsulation within a single delivery system challenging. In this study, the two bioactive components were encapsulated within core-shell nanoparticles formed by a combination of antisolvent precipitation and layer-by-layer deposition. Initially, strongly hydrophobic curcumin (log P = 4.12) was embedded in the hydrophobic core of zein-hyaluronic acid nanoparticles using the antisolvent precipitation method. Then, the weakly hydrophobic piperine (log P = 2.78) was adsorbed to the outer biopolymer shell of these nanoparticles. Finally, the nutraceutical-loaded particles were coated with a layer of chitosan by the electrostatic deposition method. The surface charge and coating thickness depended on the number of adsorbed layers and the nature of the outer layer, being negative for hyaluronic acid and positive for chitosan. Low-, medium-, and high-molecular weight chitosan were utilized to modify the surface properties. Chitosan with a low-molecular weight was selected to fabricate the core-shell nanoparticles because it produced small highly charged cationic particles (d = 599 nm; ζ = +38.1 mV). The encapsulation efficiency and loading capacities were 90.4 and 5.7% for curcumin, and 86.4 and 5.4% for piperine, respectively. The core-shell nanoparticles protected the nutraceuticals from chemical degradation during light exposure, thermal processing, and storage for 2 months. Moreover, the nanoparticles were able to control the release of the bioactive components in simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Our results should facilitate the development of more effective nanodelivery systems for nutraceuticals that exhibit synergistic activities, but have different molecular characteristics.

Abstract
The utilization of layer-by-layer composite nanoparticles fabricated from zein and hyaluronic acid (HA) for the codelivery of curcumin and quercetagetin was investigated. A combination of hydrophobic effects and hydrogen bonding was responsible for the interaction of zein with both curcumin and quercetagetin inside the nanoparticles. Electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding were mainly responsible for the layer-by-layer deposition of hyaluronic acid on the surfaces of the nanoparticles. The secondary structure of zein was altered by the presence of the two nutraceuticals and HA. The optimized nanoparticle formulation contained relatively small particles ( d = 231.2 nm) that were anionic (ζ = -30.5 mV). The entrapment efficiency and loading capacity were 69.8 and 2.5% for curcumin and 90.3 and 3.5% for quercetagetin, respectively. Interestingly, the morphology of the nanoparticles depended on their composition. In particular, they changed from coated nanoparticles to nanoparticle-filled microgels as the level of HA increased. The nanoparticles were effective at reducing light and thermal degradation of the two encapsulated nutraceuticals and remained physically stable throughout 6 months of long-term storage. In addition, the nanoparticles were shown to slowly release the nutraceuticals under simulated gastrointestinal tract conditions, which may help improve their oral bioavailability. In summary, we have shown that layer-by-layer composite nanoparticles based on zein and HA are an effective codelivery system for two bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Polysaccharides represent a versatile class of building blocks that are used in macromolecular design. By choosing the appropriate saccharide block, various physico-chemical and biological properties can be introduced both at the level of the polymer chains and the resulting self-assembled nanostructures. Here, we synthetized amphiphilic diblock copolymers combining a hydrophobic and helical poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) PBLG and two polysaccharides, namely hyaluronic acid (HA) and laminarin (LAM). The copolymers could self-assemble to form particles in water by nanoprecipitation. In addition, hybrid particles containing both HA and LAM in different ratios were obtained by co-nanoprecipitation of the two copolymers. By controlling the self-assembly process, five particle samples with different morphologies and compositions were developed. The interaction between the particles and biologically relevant proteins for HA and LAM, namely CD44 and Dectin-1 respectively, was evaluated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). We demonstrated that the particle-protein interaction could be modulated by the particle structure and composition. It is therefore suggested that this method based on nanoprecipitation is a practical and versatile way to obtain particles with controllable interactions with proteins, hence with the appropriate biological properties for biomedical applications such as drug delivery.

Abstract
Peptide amphiphiles (PAs), functionalized with alkyl chains, are capable of self-assembling into various nanostructures. Recently, PAs have been considered as ideal drug carriers due to their good biocompatibility, specific biological functions, and hypotoxicity to normal cells and tissues. Meanwhile, the nanocarriers formed by PAs are able to achieve controlled drug release and enhanced cell uptake in response to the stimulus of the physiological environment or specific biological factors in the location of the lesion. However, the underlying detailed drug delivery mechanism, especially from the aspect of primary and secondary structures of PAs, has not been systematically summarized or discussed. Focusing on the relationship between the primary and secondary structures of PAs and stimuli-responsive drug delivery applications, this review highlights the recent advances, challenges, and opportunities of PA-based functional drug nanocarriers, and their potential pharmaceutical applications are discussed.

Abstract
The self-tumor targeting polymers, lactoferrin (LF) and hyaluronic acid (HA) were utilized to develop layer-by-layer (LbL) lipid nanoparticles (NPs) for dual delivery of berberine (BER) and rapamycin (RAP) to lung cancer. To control its release from the NPs, BER was hydrophobically ion paired with SLS prior to incorporation into NPs. Spherical HA/LF-LbL-RAP-BER/SLS-NPs 250.5 nm in diameter, with a surface charge of -18.5 mV were successfully elaborated. The NPs exhibited sequential release pattern with faster release of BER followed by controlled release of RAP which enables sensitization of lung tumor cells to the anti-cancer action of RAP. LbL coating of the NPs was found to enhance the drug cytotoxicity against A549 lung cancer cells as augmented by remarkable increase in their cellular internalization through CD44 receptors overexpressed by tumor cells. In vivo studies in lung cancer bearing mice have revealed the superior therapeutic activity of LbL-RAP-BER/SLS-NPs over the free drugs as demonstrated by 88.09% reduction in the average number of microscopic lung foci and 3.1-fold reduction of the angiogenic factor VEGF level compared to positive control. Overall, the developed HA/LF-LbL-coated lipid NPs could be potential carriers for targeted co-delivery of BER and RAP to lung cancer cells.

Abstract
Lung carcinoma is the most common cancer in men and second in women (preceded by breast cancer) worldwide. Around 1 in 10 of all cancers diagnosed in men, lung cancer contributed to a total fraction of 20% cancer deaths. Naringenin (NAR) is well known for its chemopreventive properties since ancient times but lacks an appropriate delivery carrier. The objective of present study was to expand the functionality of naringenin loaded poly caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles in terms of release, chemoprevention and therapeutics. Polymeric nanoparticles such as PCL lack target specificity; hence, surface modification was attempted using layer by layer technique (LBL) to achieve improved and desired delivery as well as target specificity. The designing of Hyaluronic acid (HA) decorated PCL nanoparticles were prepared by utilizing self-assembling LBL technique, where a polycationic layer of a polymer was used as a linker for modification between two polyanionic layers. Additionally, an attempt has been made to strengthen the therapeutic efficacy of PCL nanocarriers by active targeting and overcoming the extracellular matrix associated barriers of tumors using HA targeting cluster determinant 44 receptor (CD44). Cell cytotoxicity study on A549 cells and J774 macrophage cells depicted enhanced anticancer effect of NAR-HA@CH-PCL-NP with safe profile on macrophages. Uptake study on A549 cells advocated enhanced drug uptake by cancer cells. Cell cycle arrest analysis (A549 cell lines) demonstrated the superior cytotoxic effect and active targeting of NAR-HA@CH-PCL-NP. Further chemopreventive treatment with NAR-HA@CH-PCL-NP was found effective in tumor growth inhibitory effect against urethane-induced lung cancer in rat. In conclusion, developed formulation possesses a promising potential as a therapeutic and chemopreventive agent against urethane-induced lung carcinoma in albino wistar rats.

Abstract
Transferrin (Tf)-templated luminescent blue copper nanoclusters (Tf-Cu NCs) are synthesized. They are further formulated into spherical Tf-Cu NC-doxorubicin nanoparticles (Tf-Cu NC-Dox NPs) based on electrostatic interaction with doxorubicin (Dox). The as-synthesized Tf-Cu NC-Dox NPs are explored for bioimaging and targeted drug delivery to delineate high therapeutic efficacy. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) within the Tf-Cu NC-Dox NPs exhibited striking red luminescence, wherein the blue luminescence of Tf-Cu NCs (donor) is quenched due to absorption by Dox (acceptor). Interestingly, blue luminescence of Tf-Cu NCs is restored in the cytoplasm of cancer cells upon internalization of the NPs through overexpressed transferrin receptor (TfR) present on the cell surface. Finally, gradual release of Dox from the NPs leads to the generation of its red luminescence inside the nucleus. The biocompatible Tf-Cu NC-Dox NPs displayed superior targeting efficiency on TfR overexpressed cells (HeLa and MCF-7) as compared to the cells expressing less TfR (HEK-293 and 3T3-L1). Combination index (CI) revealed synergistic activity of Tf-Cu NCs and Dox in Tf-Cu NC-Dox NPs. In vivo assessment of the NPs on TfR positive Daltons lymphoma ascites (DLA) bearing mice revealed significant inhibition of tumor growth rendering prolonged survival of the mice.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) are among the most widely manufactured nanomaterials with broad applications in food industry, cosmetics, and medicine. Although the toxicity of TiO2NPs at high doses has been extensively explored, the potential health risks of TiO2NPs exposure at nontoxic concentrations remain poorly understood. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays pivotal roles in a diversity of physiological and pathological processes, including tissue regeneration and cancer metastasis. In this study, we find that the cellular uptake of TiO2NPs inhibits EMT-mediated cell remodeling and cell migration without exhibiting cytotoxicity. Further investigation reveals that TiO2NPs suppress the process of EMT through the blockade of transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling. Particularly, TiO2NPs interact with the TGFβ receptor TβRI/II complex, induce its lysosomal degradation, and thereby downregulate expression of TGFβ target genes. Moreover, we show that waterborne TiO2NPs do not elicit toxicity in healthy tissues but hamper EMT-mediated wound healing in two animal models. Long-term exposure of TiO2NPs in environmental water and drinking water impede the regeneration of amputated fin in zebrafish and the recovery of intestinal mucosal damage in colitic mice. Our results reveal the previously unknown effects of TiO2NPs during tissue remodeling and repair, which have significant implications in their risk assessment and management.

Abstract
In the present work, multifunctional Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4@albumen (NZF@Alb) and doxorubicin-loaded Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4@albumen (NZF@Alb-Dox) core-shell nanoparticles have been prepared by a green and simple method using inexpensive chicken egg albumen and have been characterized for different physiochemical properties. The structural, morphological, thermal, and magnetic properties of the prepared nanoparticles have been investigated by an x-ray diffractometer, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transformed infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques. Superparamagnetic Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles (NZF NPs) with the mean size ∼20 nm were coated with albumen matrix by an ultrasonication process. Inverse fast Fourier transform-assisted HRTEM micrographs and FTIR analysis revealed the coating of amorphous albumen on crystalline NZF NPs. NZF@Alb and NZF@Alb-Dox NPs have the mean size (D50) of ∼100 nm, good stability, and magnetic controllability. Magnetic measurements (field (H)-dependent magnetization (M)) show all samples to be super-paramagnetic in nature. Biocompatibilities of the NZF and NZF@Alb NPs were confirmed by in vitro 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay against RAW 264.7 cells. NZF@Alb NPs have been found to be more biocompatible than bare NZF. In Vitro Dox release behavior from NZF@Alb-Dox NPs has been studied at pH 7.4 and 5, and a sustained and pH-dependent drug release profile were observed. In vitro cytotoxicity or anticancer activity of the blank NZF@Alb NPs, free Dox, and NZF@Alb-Dox NPs against HeLa cells (cancer cell line) were also examined by MTT assay. The obtained results suggest that this scalable egg-albumen-based magnetic nanoformulation is suitable for targeted drug delivery applications. Thus, the present study could be extremely useful for the advancement of albumin-based nanocarrier design and development for biomedical applications such as targeted and controlled delivery of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Introduction of exogenous biomacromolecules into living systems is of great interest in genome editing, cancer immunotherapy, and stem cell reprogramming. Whereas current strategies generally depend on nucleic acids transfection, direct delivery of functional proteins that provides enhanced specificity, increased safety, and fast and temporal regulation is highly desirable. Nevertheless, intracellular delivery of intact and bioactive proteins, especially in vivo, remains poorly explored. In this study, we developed a nanodiamonds (NDs)-based protein delivery system in cultured cells and in Drosophila that showed high adsorption, high efficiency, and effective cytosolic release of fully functional proteins. Through live-cell imaging, we observed a novel phenomenon wherein a substantial amount of internalized NDs-protein complex rejected fusion with the early endosome, thereby evading protein degradation in the lysosome. More significantly, we demonstrated that dietary NDs-RNase induced apoptosis in enterocytes, stimulating regenerative divisions in intestinal stem cells and increasing the number of stem cells and precursor cells in Drosophila intestine. As stem cells are poorly accessible by exogenous agents in vivo, NDs-mediated oral delivery of proteins provides a new approach to modulate the stem cell microenvironment for intestinal remodeling, which has important implications for colorectal cancer therapy and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Multifunctional upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) that can be implemented in theranostic applications are particularly attractive scaffolds for precise drug delivery. However, most of the current methods for drug formulation are technically complicated, thereby impeding their use in the clinic. Here, we report on the preparation of a lipophilic cytotoxic prodrug-integrated and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-cloaked UCNPs scaffold through a facile one-pot supramolecular approach. By choosing 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38)-derived prodrug 1 as a model chemotherapeutic, we show that this lipophilic prodrug can be feasibly self-assembled onto the surface of UCNPs, which are cooperatively solubilized by PEGylated phospholipids. The resulting SN38 prodrug 1-encapsulated UCNPs (designated 1@pUCNPs) produce a stable colloidal system in aqueous solution, making it suitable for intravenous injection. The SN38 drug loading capacity in pUCNPs is as high as ∼12.3 wt%, and a sustained drug release profile is observed, indicating that the drug payloads can be transported to targeted tumor sites via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging, including in vivo and ex vivo imaging, suggests that the drug-loaded pUCNPs remain stable in tumors over a long time and preferentially accumulate in tumors presumably via the EPR effect. Furthermore, the 1@pUCNPs show superior therapeutic outcomes compared with the clinically approved SN38 prodrug CPT-11 in the Bcap-37 mouse model of breast cancer. Collectively, our results demonstrate that pUCNPs facilely constructed in a one-pot self-assembly manner may be used as a versatile platform, enabling synchronous in vivo delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs and tumor imaging.
