Abstract
Phthalocyanine is a blue-colored macrocyclic compound with excellent anti-oxidant and lipid-peroxidation abilities due to its intermolecular π-π stacking structure. Antioxidants inhibit intracellular reactive oxygen species formation and decrease oxidation defense ability of the enzymes in diabetes management. The present study aimed to fabricate concanavalin A conjugated phthalocyanine-loaded cochleates (Formulation PhConA) as a glucose-sensitive lipidic system and estimate its efficacy in streptozotocin-induced male Sprague Dawley diabetic rats for 28 days. Thin-film hydration and trapping methods were used in the preparation of liposomes and cochleates, respectively, whereas the surface was modified for concanavalin A conjugation using EDAC: NHS (1:1). Formulation PhConA with rod-shaped structures showed particle size of 415.7 ± 0.46 nm, PdI value of 0.435 ± 0.09, encapsulation efficiency of 85.64 ± 0.34%, and 84.55 ± 0.29% release of phthalocyanine for 56 h. The circular dichroism study displayed a slight deviation after the conjugation effect of concanavalin A to cochleates. The in-vivo studies of the formulation PhConA improved the blood glucose levels along with defensive effect on the liver to overcome the hyperlipidemic effect. The rigid structure of cochleates prolongs the drug elimination from systemic circulation and extends its effect for a longer duration by decreasing the blood glucose level. Thus, the glucose-sensitive formulation PhConA showed significant improvement in diabetic rats within the period of 28 days by improving the oxidative defense and protecting the pancreatic β-cells.

Abstract
Multicompartment polymersomes (MCPs) refer to polymersomes that not only contain one single compartment, either in the membrane or in the internal cavity, but also mimic the compartmentalized structure of living cells, attracting much attention in programmed delivery and biological applications. The investigation of MCPs may promote the application of soft nanomaterials in biomedicine. This Review seeks to highlight the recent advances of the design principles, synthetic strategies, and biomedical applications of MCPs. The compartmentalization types including chemical, physical, and hybrid compartmentalization are discussed. Subsequently, the design and controlled synthesis of MCPs by the self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers, double emulsification, coprecipitation, microfluidics and particle assembly, etc. are summarized. Furthermore, the diverse applications of MCPs in programmed delivery of various cargoes and biological applications including cancer therapy, antimicrobials, and regulation of blood glucose levels are highlighted. Finally, future perspectives of MCPs from the aspects of controlled synthesis and applications are proposed.

Abstract
Multi-vesicular vesicles (MVVs) offer structural advantages in terms of drug encapsulation and physiological stability. In this study, we address the challenge of preparing small-sized MVVs for drug delivery. The nano-sized MVVs (∼120 nm) loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and curcumin (CUR) (DOX/CUR@MVVs) were successfully prepared using a glass bead combined with a thin film dispersion method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis confirmed the independent non-homocentric vesicle structures of DOX/CUR@MVVs with homogeneous particle sizes. The experimental results showed high encapsulation rates of DOX and CUR in DOX/CUR@MVVs, reaching 82.5 ± 0.75 % and 85.9 ± 0.69 %, respectively. Moreover, the MVVs exhibited good biosafety and sustained release properties. Notably, the bioavailability of DOX and CUR in DOX/CUR@MVVs was enhanced compared to free DOX and CUR, with increases of 4.2 and 2.1 times, respectively. And the half-life of DOX and CUR was extended by 10 times in DOX/CUR@MVVs. In vivo antitumor experiments demonstrated that nano-sized DOX/CUR@MVVs significantly improved the antitumor activity while reducing the toxic side effects of DOX. Overall, the successful preparation of nano-sized DOX/CUR@MVVs and their potent and low-toxic antitumor effects provide a critical experimental reference for the combined antitumor therapy of MVVs and liposomes.

Abstract
Multicompartment structures have the potential for biomedical applications because they can act as multifunctional systems and provide simultaneous delivery of drugs and diagnostics agents of different types. Moreover, some of them mimic biological cells to some extent with organelles as separate sub-compartments. This article analyses multicompartment colloidal structures with smaller sub-units covered with lipid or polymer membranes that provide additional protection for the encapsulated substances. Vesosomes with small vesicles encapsulated in the inner pools of larger liposomes are the most studied systems to date. Dendrimer molecules are enclosed by a lipid bilayer shell in dendrosomes. Capsosomes, polymersomes-in-polymer capsules, and cubosomes-in-polymer capsules are composed of sub-compartments encapsulated within closed multilayer polymer membranes. Janus or Cerberus emulsions contain droplets composed of two or three phases: immiscible oils in O/W emulsions and aqueous polymer or salt solutions that are separated into two or three phases and form connected droplets in W/O emulsions. In more cases, the external surface of engulfed droplets in Janus or Cerberus emulsions is covered with a lipid or polymer monolayer. eLiposomes with emulsion droplets encapsulated into a bilayer shell have been given little attention so far, but they have very great prospects. In addition to nanoemulsion droplets, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers and inorganic nanoparticles can be loaded into eLiposomes. Molecular engineering of the external membrane allows the creation of ligand-targeted and stimuli-responsive multifunctional systems. As a result, the efficacy of drug delivery can be significantly enhanced.

Abstract
Pesticides play an important role in agricultural disease and pest control. However, the low utilization efficiency and environmentally unfriendly disadvantages of conventional pesticide formulations cause substantial environmental and ecological damage. Constructing intelligent controlled-release pesticide systems via nanotechnology is a feasible way to overcome these defects. In this research, an emamectin benzoate-loaded liposome nano-vesicle (EB-Lip-NV) with a multicompartment structure and thermo-responsive characteristics was developed to accurately control nocturnal pests and improve insecticidal activity. EB-Lip-NV is an unusual low-temperature rapid-release system based on phase transitions of the liposome membrane. Compared with the conventional water-soluble granule (SG), the EB-Lip-NV exhibited higher control activity on Spodoptera exigua. More importantly, the control efficacy of Spodoptera exigua at 20 °C was around 1.4 times that at 40 °C because of low temperature-induced rapid release. This controlled-release behavior of EB-Lip-NV in response to temperature change could effectively control the population of nocturnal pests. In addition, the toxicity of the EB-Lip-NV towards zebrafish was lower than that of SG by above 50%. This study provides a new strategy for constructing intelligent controlled-release pesticide systems with improving utilization rate and reducing harm to the environment and non-target organisms.

Abstract
Co-immobilization of multi-enzymes has emerged as a promising concept to design and signify bio-catalysis engineering. Undoubtedly, the existence and importance of basic immobilization methods such as encapsulation, covalent binding, cross-linking, or even simple adsorption cannot be ignored as they are the core of advanced co-immobilization strategies. Different strategies have been developed and deployed to green the twenty-first century bio-catalysis. Moreover, co-immobilization of multi-enzymes has successfully resolved the limitations of individual enzyme loaded constructs. With an added value of this advanced bio-catalysis engineering platform, designing, and fabricating co-immobilized enzymes loaded nanostructure carriers to perform a particular set of reactions with high catalytic turnover is of supreme interest. Herein, we spotlight the emergence of co-immobilization strategies by bringing multi-enzymes together with various types of nanocarriers to expand the bio-catalysis scope. Following a brief introduction, the first part of the review focuses on multienzyme co-immobilization strategies, i.e., random co-immobilization, compartmentalization, and positional co-immobilization. The second part comprehensively covers four major categories of nanocarriers, i.e., carbon based nanocarriers, polymer based nanocarriers, silica-based nanocarriers, and metal-based nanocarriers along with their particular examples. In each section, several critical factors that can affect the performance and successful deployment of co-immobilization of enzymes are given in this work.

Abstract
The significant role of a vesicle is well recognized; however, only lately has the advancement in biomedical applications started to uncover their usefulness. Although the concept of vesicles originates from cell biology, it later transferred to chemistry and material science to develop nanoscale artificial vesicles for biomedical applications. Herein, we examine different synthetic and biological vesicles and their applications in the biomedical field in general. As our understanding of biological vesicles increases, more suitable biomimicking synthetic vesicles will be developed. The comparative discussion between synthetic and natural vesicles for biomedical applications is a relevant topic, and we envision this could enable the development of a proper approach to realize the next-generation treatment goals.

Abstract
Liquid crystals have certain physical properties that promote chemical reactions which cannot occur in bulk phase media. These properties are displayed, among other molecules, by amphiphilic compounds which assemble into membrane structures then concentrate and organize biologically relevant monomers within their confined spaces. When mixtures of lipids and nucleotides are cycled multiple times between hydrated and anhydrous conditions, the monomers polymerize in the dry phase into oligonucleotides. Upon rehydration, mixtures of the polymers are encapsulated in lipid-bounded compartments called protocells. Reactions in liquid crystalline organizing matrices represent a promising approach for future research on how primitive cells could emerge on the early Earth and other habitable planets.

Abstract
The design of membrane-based constructs with multiple compartments is of increasing importance given their potential applications as microreactors, as artificial cells in synthetic-biology, as simplified cell models, and as drug delivery vehicles. The emergence of droplet microfluidics as a tool for their construction has allowed rapid scale-up in generation throughput, scale-down of size, and control over gross membrane architecture. This is true on several levels: size, level of compartmentalisation and connectivity of compartments can all be programmed to various degrees. This tutorial review explains and explores the reasons behind this. We discuss microfluidic strategies for the generation of a family of compartmentalised systems that have lipid membranes as the basic structural motifs, where droplets are either the fundamental building blocks, or are precursors to the membrane-bound compartments. We examine the key properties associated with these systems (including stability, yield, encapsulation efficiency), discuss relevant device fabrication technologies, and outline the technical challenges. In doing so, we critically review the state-of-play in this rapidly advancing field.

Abstract
Vesicle-in-vesicle self-assembled containers, or vesosomes, are promising alternatives to liposomes because of their possible hierarchical encapsulation and high stability. We report herein the first example of sugar-based vesicles-in-vesicles, which we baptize glucosomes. These were prepared by using a natural microbial glycolipid (branched C22 sophorolipid) extracted from the culture medium of the yeast Pseudohyphozyma bogoriensis. Glucosomes spontaneously formed in water between pH 6 and pH 4 at room temperature, without the requirement of any additive. By means of pH-resolved in situ small angle X-ray scattering, we provided direct evidence for the vesicle-formation mechanism. Statistical treatment of the vesicle radii distribution measured by cryo-tansmission electron microscopy by using a derived form of the Helfrich bending free-energy expression provided an order of magnitude for the effective bending constant (the sum of the curvature and the saddle-splay moduli) of the lipid membrane to K=(0.4±0.1) kBT. This value is in agreement with the bending constant measured for hydrocarbon-based vesicles membranes.

Abstract
Single, Janus, and Cerberus emulsions are prepared in one system consisting of three oils: silicone (SO), fluorocarbon (FO) and ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA) with mutual solubility. An aqueous solution of Pluronic F127, which is an poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(propylene oxide) co-polymer of average composition EO97PO68EO97, was employed as the continuous phase. The three-dimensional phase diagram of the oils was determined, and different oil compositions within the various regions of the phase diagram were emulsified by one-step vortex mixing with an F127 aqueous solution. The result showed single, Janus, and Cerberus emulsions within the different regions of the phase diagram; i.e. the emulsions reflected the equilibrium system. The topology of the Cerberus droplets is to an overwhelming extent linear-singlet and exclusively lobe order of EF/FO/SF. Since the results indicate a significant effect of the equilibrium interfacial tensions on the drop topology, thermodynamic calculations were made using the experimentally determined interfacial tensions. The results, as expected, show that the Cerberus emulsions are thermodynamically preferred over separate drops of the individual oils. In addition, the calculations demonstrate that the order of lobes within a drop is thermodynamically favored.

Abstract
Nanoscale vesicles have become a popular tool in life sciences. Besides liposomes that are generated from phospholipids of natural origin, polymersomes fabricated of synthetic block copolymers enjoy increasing popularity, as they represent more versatile membrane building blocks that can be selected based on their specific physicochemical properties, such as permeability, stability, or chemical reactivity. In this review, we focus on the application of simple and nested artificial vesicles in synthetic biology. First, we provide an introduction into the utilization of multicompartmented vesosomes as compartmentalized nanoscale bioreactors. In the bottom-up development of protocells from vesicular nanoreactors, the specific exchange of pathway intermediates across compartment boundaries represents a bottleneck for future studies. To date, most compartmented bioreactors rely on unspecific exchange of substrates and products. This is either based on changes in permeability of the coblock polymer shell by physicochemical triggers or by the incorporation of unspecific porin proteins into the vesicle membrane. Since the incorporation of membrane transport proteins into simple and nested artificial vesicles offers the potential for specific exchange of substances between subcompartments, it opens new vistas in the design of protocells. Therefore, we devote the main part of the review to summarize the technical advances in the use of phospholipids and block copolymers for the reconstitution of membrane proteins.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in cell signaling and redox homeostasis and are strongly related to metabolic activities. The increase of the ROS concentration in organisms can result in several diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The concentration of ROS in biologically relevant conditions is typically as low as around tens of micromolars to 100 μM H2O2, which makes it necessary to develop ultrasensitive ROS-responsive systems. A general approach is reported here to fabricate an ultrasensitive ROS-responsive system via coassembly between tellurium-containing molecules and phospholipids, combining the ROS-responsiveness of tellurium and the biocompatibility of phospholipids. By using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and NMR spectra, coassembly behaviors and the responsiveness of the coassemblies have been investigated. These coassemblies can respond to 100 μM H2O2, which is a biologically relevant ROS concentration, and demonstrate reversible redox properties.

Abstract
Researchers have become increasingly interested in the preparation and characterization of artificial cells based on amphiphilic molecules. In particular, artificial cells with multiple compartments are primitive mimics of the structure of eukaryotic cells. Endosymbiotic theory, widely accepted among biologists, states that eukaryotic cells arose from the assembly of prokaryotic cells inside other cells. Therefore, replicating this process in a synthetic system could allow researchers to model molecular and supramolecular processes that occur in living cells, shed light on mass and energy transport through cell membranes, and provide a unique, isolated space for conducting chemical reactions. In addition, such structures can serve as drug delivery systems that encapsulate both bioactive and nonbiocompatible compounds. In this Account, we present various coating, incubation, and electrofusion strategies for forming multicompartment vesicle systems, and we are focusing on strategies that rely on involving molecular recognition of complementary vesicles. All these methods afforded multicompartment systems with similar structures, and these nanoparticles have potential applications as drug delivery systems or nanoreactors for conducting diverse reactions. The complementarity of interacting vesicles allows these artificial cells to form, and the organization and polyvalency of these interacting vesicles further promote their formation. The incorporation of cholesterol in the bilayer membrane and the introduction of PEG chains at the surface of the interacting vesicles also support the structure of these multicompartment systems. PEG chains appear to destabilize the bilayers, which facilitates the fusion and transport of the small vesicles to the larger ones. Potential applications of these well-structured and reproducibly produced multicompartment systems include drug delivery, where researchers could load a cocktail of drugs within the encapsulated vesicles, a process that could enhance the bioavailability of these substances. In addition, the production of artificial cells with multiple compartments provides a platform where researchers could carry out individual reactions in small, isolated spaces. Such a reactive space can avoid problems that occur when the environment can be destructive to reactants or products or when a diverse set of compounds difficult to obtain in a conventional reactor space are produced. Our work on these artificial cells with multicompartment structures also led us to formulate a hypothesis on the processes that possibly generated eukaryotic cells. We hope both that our research efforts will excite interest in these nanoparticles and that this research could lead to systems designed for specific scientific and technological applications and further insights into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
A general approach is reported to fabricate a stimuli responsive system via coassembly of diselenide-containing block copolymers with polymer lipids, which integrates the stimuli-responsiveness of diselenide chemistry and the biocompatibility of polymer lipids. By using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and zeta potential analyzer, coassembly behavior of these two kinds of polymers and responsiveness of coassemblies have been investigated. These coassemblies can exhibit redox-responsiveness inheriting from the diselenide-containing block copolymers. In the presence of low concentration of hydrogen peroxide or glutathione, the coassemblies can be disrupted.

Abstract
Synthetic nanoparticles can be used to carry drugs, genes, small interfering RNA (siRNA) and growth factors into the inner ear, to repair, restore and induce cellular regeneration. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed which are targetable to selected tissue, traceable in vivo, and equipped with controlled drug/gene release. The NPs are coated with a ‘stealth’ layer, and decorated with targeting ligands, markers, transfection agents and endosomal escape peptides. As payloads, genes such as the BDNF-gene, Math1-gene and Prestin-gene have been constructed and delivered in vitro. Short-hairpin RNA has been used in vitro to silence the negative regulator of Math1, the inhibitors of differentiation and DNA binding. In order to facilitate the passage of cargo from the middle ear to the inner ear, the oval window transports gadolinium chelate more efficiently than the round window and is the key element in introducing therapeutic agents into the vestibule and cochlea. Depending upon the type of NPs, different migration and cellular internalization pathways are employed, and optimal carriers should be designed depending on the cargo. The use of NPs as drug/gene/siRNA carriers is fascinating and can also be used as an intraoperative adjunct to cochlear implantation to attract the peripheral processes of the cochlear nerve.

Abstract
Lipid bilayers are biomembranes common to cellular life and constitute a continuous barrier between cells and their environment. Understanding the interaction of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with lipid bilayers is an important step toward predicting subsequent biological effects. In this study, we assess the effect of varying the surface functionality and concentration of 10-nm-diameter gold (Au) and titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) ENMs on the disruption of negatively charged lipid bilayer vesicles (liposomes) using a dye-leakage assay. Our findings show that Au ENMs having both positive and negative surface charge induce leakage that reaches a steady state after several hours. Positively charged particles with identical surface functionality and different core compositions show similar leakage effects and result in faster and greater leakage than negatively charged particles, which suggests that surface functionality, not particle core composition, is a critical factor in determining the interaction between ENMs and lipid bilayers. The results suggest that particles permanently adsorb to bilayers and that only one positively charged particle is required to disrupt a liposome and trigger the leakage of its entire contents in contrast to mellitin molecules, the most widely studied membrane lytic peptide, which requires hundred of molecules to generate leakage.
