Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a non-invasive characterization method for studying molecular structures and dynamics, providing high spatial resolution at nanometer scale. Over the past decades, FRET-based measurements are developed and widely implemented in synthetic polymer systems for understanding and detecting a variety of nanoscale phenomena, enabling significant advances in polymer science. In this review, the basic principles of fluorescence and FRET are briefly discussed. Several representative research areas are highlighted, where FRET spectroscopy and imaging can be employed to reveal polymer morphology and kinetics. These examples include understanding polymer micelle formation and stability, detecting guest molecule release from polymer host, characterizing supramolecular assembly, imaging composite interfaces, and determining polymer chain conformations and their diffusion kinetics. Finally, a perspective on the opportunities of FRET-based measurements is provided for further allowing their greater contributions in this exciting area.

Abstract
Phosphorylcholine is known to repel the absorption of proteins onto surfaces, which can prevent the formation of a protein corona on the surface of nanoparticles. This can influence the fate of nanoparticles used for drug delivery. This material could therefore serve as an alternative to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). Herein, the synthesis of different particles prepared by polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) coated with either poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and 4-(N-(S-penicillaminylacetyl)amino) phenylarsenonous acid (PENAO) was reported. The anticancer drug 4-(N-(S-penicillaminylacetyl)amino) phenylarsenonous acid (PENAO) was conjugated to the shell-forming block. Interactions of the different coated nanoparticles, which present comparable sizes and size distributions (76-85 nm, PDI = 0.067-0.094), with two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cultured cells were studied, and their cytotoxicities, cellular uptakes, spheroid penetration, and cell localization profiles were analyzed. While only a minimal difference in behaviour was observed for nanoparticles assessed using in vitro experiment (with PEG-co- PENAO-coated micelles showing slightly higher cytotoxicity and better spheroid penetration and cell localization ability), the effect of the different physicochemical properties between nanoparticles had a more dramatic effect on in vivo biodistribution. After 1 h of injection, the majority of the MPC-co-PENAO-coated nanoparticles were found to accumulate in the liver, making this particle system unfeasible for future biological studies.

Abstract
Protein drugs have great potential as targeted therapies, yet their application suffers from several drawbacks, such as instability, short half-life, and adverse immune responses. Thus, protein delivery approaches based on stimuli-responsive nanocarriers can provide effective strategies for selectively enhancing the availability and activation of proteins in targeted tissues. Herein, polymeric micelles with the ability of encapsulating proteins are developed via concurrent ion complexation and pH-cleavable covalent bonding between proteins and block copolymers directed to pH-triggered release of the protein payload. Carboxydimethylmaleic anhydride (CDM) is selected as the pH-sensitive moiety, since the CDMamide bond is stable at physiological pH (pH 7.4), while it cleaves at pH 6.5, that is, the pathophysiological pH of tumors and inflammatory tissues. By using poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(l-lysine) block copolymers having 45% CDM addition, different proteins with various sizes and isoelectric points are loaded successfully. By using myoglobin-loaded micelles (myo/m) as a model, the stability of the micelles in physiological conditions and the dissociation and release of functional myoglobin at pH 6.5 are successfully confirmed. Moreover, myo/m shows extended half-life in blood compared to free myoglobin and micelles assembled solely by polyion complex, indicating the potential of this system for in vivo delivery of proteins.
