Effects of subcutaneous vs. oral nanoparticle-mediated insulin delivery on hemostasis disorders in type 1 diabetes: A rat model study. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30450. [PMID: 38711655 PMCID: PMC11070859 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Complications associated with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) have complex origins that revolve around chronic hyperglycemia; these complications involve hemostasis disorders, coagulopathies, and vascular damage. Our study aims to develop innovative approaches to minimize these complications and to compare the outcomes of the new approach with those of traditional methods. To achieve our objective, we designed novel nanoparticles comprising covalent organic frameworks (nCOF) loaded with insulin, termed nCOF/Insulin, and compared it to subcutaneous insulin to elucidate the influence of insulin delivery methods on various parameters, including bleeding time, coagulation factors, platelet counts, cortisol plasma levels, lipid profiles, and oxidative stress parameters. Traditional subcutaneous insulin injections exacerbated hemostasis disorder and vascular injuries in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats through increasing plasma triglycerides and lipid peroxidation. Conversely, oral delivery of nCOF/Insulin ameliorated hemostatic disorders and restored the endothelial oxidant/antioxidant balance by reducing lipid peroxidation and enhancing the lipid profile. Our study pioneers the understanding of how STZ-induced diabetes disrupts bleeding time, induces a hypercoagulable state, and causes vascular damage through lipid peroxidation. Additionally, it provides the first evidence for the involvement of subcutaneous insulin treatment in exacerbating vascular and hemostasis disorders in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Introducing an innovative oral insulin delivery via the nCOF approach represents a potential paradigm shift in diabetes management and patient care and promises to improve treatment strategies for type 1 Diabetes.

Abstract
The immune system's complexity and ongoing evolutionary struggle against deleterious pathogens underscore the value of vaccination technologies, which have been bolstering human immunity for over two centuries. Despite noteworthy advancements over these 200 years, three areas remain recalcitrant to improvement owing to the environmental instability of the biomolecules used in vaccines─the challenges of formulating them into controlled release systems, their need for constant refrigeration to avoid loss of efficacy, and the requirement that they be delivered via needle owing to gastrointestinal incompatibility. Nanotechnology, particularly metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), has emerged as a promising avenue for confronting these challenges, presenting a new frontier in vaccine development. Although these materials have been widely explored in the context of drug delivery, imaging, and cancer immunotherapy, their role in immunology and vaccine-related applications is a recent yet rapidly developing field. This review seeks to elucidate the prospective use of MOFs and COFs for biomaterial stabilization, eliminating the necessity for cold chains, enhancing antigen potency as adjuvants, and potentializing needle-free delivery of vaccines. It provides an expansive and critical viewpoint on this rapidly evolving field of research and emphasizes the vital contribution of chemists in driving further advancements.

Abstract
Destruction of insulin caused by the gastric microenvironment and rapid deactivation pose inevitable barriers to oral macromolecular absorption, especially for most peptide and protein drugs. In this study, we developed high-density sodium alginate microspheres composed of magnesium oxide and urease to address these challenges. These microspheres aim to anchor the gastric mucus layer and induce microenvironmental liquefaction, thereby enhancing gastric retention and the protection of insulin. The sedimentation test confirmed the capability of the Ins/Ur/MgO@SA microsphere to rapidly traverse the gastric juice under the influence of gravity. Additionally, the urease immobilized on the Ins/Ur/MgO@SA microspheres catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea in the gastric mucus and promotes the liquefaction of mucus, which is beneficial for microsphere retention. The inclusion of MgO particles and urease, acting as pHM modifiers, helps in adjusting the local pH to avoid gastric acid-induced damage. Subsequently, an in vivo pharmacokinetic experiment verified that the relative bioavailability of the p.o. Ins/Ur/MgO@SA treated group was 15-fold higher than that of the p.o.insulin treated group. Meanwhile, satisfactory blood glucose level (BGL) reduction was observed in diabetic animals. In conclusion, Ins/Ur/MgO@SA microspheres demonstrate high biocompatibility as insulin carriers with prolonged drug release time and increased gastric retention properties, showing a far-reaching strategy for oral macromolecular drug delivery.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a new and developing class of porous framework materials, are considered a type of promising carrier for the integration and delivery of bioactives, which have diverse fascinating merits, such as a large specific surface area, designable and specific porosity, stable and orderly framework structure, and various active sites. However, owing to the significant differences among bioactives (including drugs, proteins, nucleic acid, and exosomes), such as size, structure, and physicochemical properties, the interaction between COFs and bioactives also varies. In this review, we firstly summarize three strategies for the construction of single or hybrid COF-based matrices for the delivery of cargos, including encapsulation, covalent binding, and coordination bonding. Besides, their smart response release behaviors are also categorized. Subsequently, the applications of cargo@COF biocomposites in biomedicine are comprehensively summarized, including tumor therapy, central nervous system (CNS) modulation, biomarker analysis, bioimaging, and anti-bacterial therapy. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this field are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Parenteral administration of insulin remains the most common route of administration, causing local hypertrophy at the injection sites because of multiple daily injections. Because of this, there is an interest and effort in oral insulin administration that is convenient and mimics the physiology of endogenous insulin secreted in the liver. However, oral insulin encountered different challenges due to abundant enzyme degradation, the presence of a mucus layer, and the underlying intestinal epithelial membrane barrier in the gastrointestinal tract. This narrative review reviewed the literature dealing with novel oral insulin delivery approaches. Various pieces of literature were searched, filtered, and reviewed from different sources, and the information obtained was organized, formulated, and finalized. Oral insulin has been formulated and extensively studied in various novel delivery approaches, such as nanoparticles, microspheres, mucoadhesive patches, encapsulations, hydrogels, ionic liquids, liposomes, and complexation. The efficiency of these formulations demonstrated improved efficiency and potency compared to free oral insulin delivery, but none of them have greater or equivalent potency to subcutaneous insulin. Future studies regarding dose-dependent therapeutic efficacy and the development of new novel formulations to produce comparable oral insulin to subcutaneous insulin are warranted to further support the suitability of the current platform for oral insulin delivery.

Abstract
Successful oral insulin administration can considerably enhance the quality of life (QOL) of diabetes patients who must frequently take insulin injections. Oral insulin administration, on the other hand, is seriously hampered by gastrointestinal enzymes, wide pH range, mucus and mucosal layers, which limit insulin oral bioavailability to ≤ 2%. Therefore, a large number of technological solutions have been proposed to increase the oral bioavailability of insulin, in which polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) are highly promising for oral insulin delivery. The recently published research articles chosen for this review are based on applications of PNPs with strong future potential in oral insulin delivery, and do not cover all related work. In this review, we will summarize the controlled release mechanisms of oral insulin delivery, latest oral insulin delivery applications of PNPs nanocarrier, challenges and prospect. This review will serve as a guide to the future investigators who wish to engineer and study PNPs as oral insulin delivery systems.

Abstract
Insulin is recognized as a crucial weapon in managing diabetes. Subcutaneous (s.c.) injections are the traditional approach for insulin administration, which usually have many limitations. Numerous alternative (non-invasive) slants through different routes have been explored by the researchers for making needle-free delivery of insulin for attaining its augmented absorption as well as bioavailability. The current review delineating numerous pros and cons of several novel approaches of non-invasive insulin delivery by overcoming many of their hurdles. Primary information on the topic was gathered by searching scholarly articles from PubMed added with extraction of data from auxiliary manuscripts. Many approaches (discussed in the article) are meant for the delivery of a safe, effective, stable, and patient friendly administration of insulin via buccal, oral, inhalational, transdermal, intranasal, ocular, vaginal and rectal routes. Few of them have proven their clinical efficacy for maintaining the glycemic levels, whereas others are under the investigational pipe line. The developed products are comprising of many advanced micro/nano composite technologies and few of them might be entering into the market in near future, thereby garnishing the hopes of millions of diabetics who are under the network of s.c. insulin injections.

Abstract
Metal-organic gels (MOGs) are a type of functional soft substance with a three-dimensional (3D) network structure and solid-like rheological behavior, which are constructed by metal ions and bridging ligands formed under the driving force of coordination interactions or other non-covalent interactions. As the homologous substances of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and gels, they exhibit the potential advantages of high porosity, flexible structure, and adjustable mechanical properties, causing them to attract extensive research interest in the pharmaceutical field. For instance, MOGs are often used as excellent vehicles for intelligent drug delivery and programmable drug release to improve the clinical curative effect with reduced side effects. Also, MOGs are often applied as advanced biomedical materials for the repair and treatment of pathological tissue and sensitive detection of drugs or other molecules. However, despite the vigorous research on MOGs in recent years, there is no systematic summary of their applications in the pharmaceutical field to date. The present review systematically summarize the recent research progress on MOGs in the pharmaceutical field, including drug delivery systems, drug detection, pharmaceutical materials, and disease therapies. In addition, the formation principles and classification of MOGs are complemented and refined, and the techniques for the characterization of the structures/properties of MOGs are overviewed in this review.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are constructed exclusively with lightweight organic scaffolds, which can have a 2D or 3D architecture. The ease of synthesis, robust skeleton and tunable properties of COFs make them superior candidates among their counterparts for a wide range of uses including biomedical applications. In the biomedical field, drug delivery or photodynamic-photothermal (PDT-PTT) therapy can be individually considered a potential parameter to be investigated. Therefore, this comprehensive review is focused on drug delivery using COFs, highlighting the encapsulation and decapsulation of drugs by COF scaffolds and their delivery in biological media including live cells. Versatile COF scaffolds together with the delivery of several drug molecules are considered. We attempted to incorporate the status of drug encapsulation and decapsulation considering a wide range of recent publications.

Abstract
Oral delivery of antidiabetic active components promises to free millions of people from daily suffering who require routine injections. However, oral insulin (Ins) and other short-acting compounds such as nateglinide (NG) in harsh gastrointestinal tract still face great challenging, including low bioavailability, and rapid elimination. In this study, inspired by the self-assembly of phenylalanine-based peptides in nature, it is showed that NG a small phenylalanine derivative, assembles into left-handed helical nanofibers in the presence of Ca2+ . These helical NG nanofibers functioned as a coating layer on the surface of Ca2+ -linked alginate (Alg) microgels for the effective encapsulation of Ins. As expected, the sustained release and prolonged circulation of Ins and NG from the Ins-loading Alg/NG microgels (Ins@Alg/NG) in the intestinal tract synergistically maintain a relatively normal blood glucose level in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice after oral administration of Ins@Alg/NG. This further confirms that Ins@Alg/NG ameliorated Ins resistance mainly through activating Insreceptor substrate 1 (IRS1), protein kinase B (AKT), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), as well as by repressing glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β). The strategy of using the assembly of NG as a coating achieves the oral delivery of insulin and showcases a potential for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Oral delivery of proteins has opened a new perspective for the treatment of different diseases. However, advances of oral protein formulation are usually hindered by protein susceptibility and suboptimal absorption in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Polymeric nano drug delivery systems are considered revolutionary candidates to solve these issues, which can be preferably tunable against specific delivery challenges. Herein, a tailored family of lysine-based poly(ester amide)s (Lys-aaPEAs) is designed as a general oral protein delivery platform for efficient protein loading and protection from degradation. Insulin, as a model protein, can achieve effective internalization by epithelial cells and efficient transport across the intestinal epithelium layer into the systemic circulation, followed by controlled release in physiological environments. After the oral administration of insulin carried by Lys-aaPEAs with ornamental hyaluronic acid (HA), mice with type 1 diabetes mellitus showed an acceptable hypoglycemic effect with alleviated complications. A successful oral insulin delivery is associated with patient comfort and convenience and simultaneously avoids the risk of hypoglycemia compared with injections, which is of great feasibility for daily diabetes therapy. More importantly, this versatile Lys-aaPEAs polymeric library can be recognized as a universal vehicle for oral biomacromolecule delivery, providing more possibilities for treating various diseases.

Abstract
Frequent insulin injections remain the primary method for controlling the blood glucose level of individuals with diabetes mellitus but are associated with low compliance. Accordingly, oral administration has been identified as a highly desirable alternative due to its non-invasive nature. However, the harsh gastrointestinal environment and physical intestinal barriers pose significant challenges to achieving optimal pharmacological bioavailability of insulin. As a result, researchers have developed a range of materials to improve the efficiency of oral insulin delivery over the past few decades. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in material design that aim to enhance insulin protection, permeability, and glucose-responsive release. We also explore the opportunities and challenges of using these materials for oral insulin delivery.

Abstract
Oral insulin delivery can improve patient compliance and simulate the portal-peripheral insulin concentration gradient produced by endogenous insulin, so oral insulin delivery has a broad prospect. However, some characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract, lead to low oral bioavailability. Therefore, a "ternary mutual-assist" nano-delivery system based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) as the backbone combined with ionic liquids (IL) and vitamin B12-chitosan (VB12-CS) was constructed in this study, the protein protection performance of IL improves the room temperature stability of the loaded insulin during nanocarrier preparation, transportation and storage to a certain extent, and the protein protection function of IL combined with the slow degradation property of PLGA and the pH-responsive function of VB12-CS to prevent the degradation of insulin in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the mucosal adhesion function of VB12-CS, VB12 receptor- and clathrin-mediated transcellular transport involving VB12-CS and IL, and paracellular transport mediated by IL and CS can be combined to improve the intestinal epithelial transport efficiency of insulin, thus, the nanocarrier has stronger preventing degradation and promoting absorption effects. Pharmacodynamic studies showed that after oral administration of VB12-CS-PLGA@IL@INS NPs to diabetic mice, the blood glucose level decreased to about 13 mmol/L, below the critical point of 16.7 mmol/L, and the blood glucose reached a normal level, which was 0.4 times of the blood glucose value before administration, its relative pharmacological bioavailability was 31.8 %, higher than the general nanocarriers (10-20 %) and more beneficial to the clinical transformation of oral insulin.

Abstract
While micromachines with tailored functionalities enable therapeutic applications in biological environments, their controlled motion and targeted drug delivery in biological media require sophisticated designs for practical applications. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a new generation of crystalline and nanoporous polymers, offer new perspectives for light-driven microswimmers in heterogeneous biological environments including intraocular fluids, thus setting the stage for biomedical applications such as retinal drug delivery. Two different types of COFs, uniformly spherical TABP-PDA-COF sub-micrometer particles and texturally nanoporous, micrometer-sized TpAzo-COF particles are described and compared as light-driven microrobots. They can be used as highly efficient visible-light-driven drug carriers in aqueous ionic and cellular media. Their absorption ranging down to red light enables phototaxis even in deeper and viscous biological media, while the organic nature of COFs ensures their biocompatibility. Their inherently porous structures with ≈2.6 and ≈3.4 nm pores, and large surface areas allow for targeted and efficient drug loading even for insoluble drugs, which can be released on demand. Additionally, indocyanine green (ICG) dye loading in the pores enables photoacoustic imaging, optical coherence tomography, and hyperthermia in operando conditions. This real-time visualization of the drug-loaded COF microswimmers enables unique insights into the action of photoactive porous drug carriers for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Protein and peptide drugs are predominantly administered by injection to achieve high bioavailability, but this greatly compromises patient compliance. Oral and transdermal drug delivery with minimal invasiveness and high adherence represent attractive alternatives to injection administration. However, oral and transdermal administration of bioactive proteins must overcome biological barriers, namely the gastrointestinal and skin barriers, respectively. The rapid development of new materials and technologies promises to address these physiological obstacles. This review provides an overview of the latest advances in oral and transdermal protein delivery, including chemical strategies, synthetic nanoparticles, medical microdevices, and biomimetic systems for oral administration, as well as chemical enhancers, physical approaches, and microneedles in transdermal delivery. We also discuss challenges and future perspectives of the field with a focus on innovation and translation.

The effect of insulin-loaded gold and carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles on gene expression of glucokinase and pyruvate kinase in rats with diabetes type 1. J Food Biochem 2022; 46:e14447. [PMID: 36219732 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
The goal of this study was to see how effective subcutaneous (SC) insulin is and two different types of oral insulin-loaded nanoparticles (INS) including carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (CMCNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) separately and compare their effects on glucokinase, pyruvate kinase gene expressions, and other parameters in diabetes type one male Wistar rats. Seven groups of ten male Wistar rats for each group were formed at random including four control groups (n = 10) and three treatment groups (n = 10). The control groups consisted of four control groups (10 rats for each) and three treatment groups (10 rats for each). Normal control rats were not given any treatment, as were diabetic rats that were not given any treatment, and diabetic rats that were given oral nanoparticles (CMCNPs and AuNPs). Diabetic rats were given subcutaneous insulin, oral insulin-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (INS-CMCNPs), and oral insulin-loaded gold nanoparticles (INS-AuNPs). The rats were treated for the final 3 weeks of the experiment, which lasted 4 weeks. CMCNPs and AuNPs presented a promising effect on pyruvate kinase and Glucokinase gene expressions compared to subcutaneous insulin. We also discovered that conjugating insulin to CMCNPs and AuNPs protects them from the insulin-degrading enzyme, which offers managed bioavailability. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of CMCNPs and AuNPs on several parameters and discovered that both have a significant effect in vivo, which enables glucose level regulation, and improves patient organ activity for better glucose consumption. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In this paper, we discussed the effect of oral INS-CMCNPs and INS-AuNPs, and compared their effects on Glucokinase and pyruvate kinase gene expressions and other biochemical parameters in diabetes type one male Wistar rats. On the other hand, we investigated the impact of oral INS and subcutaneous insulin separately on the same parameters and their effect on the histology of the liver and pancreas of diabetic rats. According to our research, as we discussed the different mechanisms of INS-CMCNPs and INS-AuNPs, they presented a promising effect compared to SC insulin. They can be used to keep oral insulin safe from the environment of the gastrointestinal system to overcome all the barriers, improve the therapeutic, and clinical outcomes of insulin by maintaining its desired concentration inside the body, ending the panic of the patient from receiving insulin by the SC injection by increasing his satisfaction with receiving accurate oral insulin doses.

Abstract
Here, core-shell hydrogel beads for oral insulin delivery at intestine was reported, which was a target site for insulin absorption. The core-shell hydrogel beads were prepared using naturally derived alginate and chitosan polysaccharides by simple dropping technique. In order to effectively control leakage of insulin from core-shell hydrogel beads, insulin was embedded into the layered double hydroxides (LDHs). LDH/insulin-loaded complexes were firstly coated with chitosan, and then coated with alginate to generate core-shell hydrogel beads. The biocompatibility and angiogenic response of core-shell hydrogel beads were evaluated by direct contact of the beads with chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane, which indicates safety of the core-shell beads. The beads successfully retained the insulin within the core-shell structure at pH 1.2, indicating that insulin had a good protective effect in harsh acidic environments. Interestingly, insulin release starts at the simulated intestinal fluid (pH 6.8) and continue to release for 24 h in a sustained manner.

Abstract
At present, the synthesis methods of crystalline porous materials often involve powder products, which not only affects the practical application but also has complex synthesis operations and limited scale. Based on the mechanochemical method, we choose COF-TpPa-1, preparing TpPa-1-DANC composites. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a kind of crystalline material formed by covalent bonds of light elements. COFs possess well pore structure and high thermal stability. However, the state of synthesized powders limits their application. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are promising renewable micron materials with abundant hydroxyl groups on their surface. It is possible to prepare high-strength materials such as film, water, and aerogel. Firstly, the nanocellulose was oxidized by the sodium periodate method to obtain aldehyde cellulose nanocrystals (DANC). TpPa-1-DANC not only had the crystal characteristic peak of COFs at 2θ ≈ 5° but also had a BET surface area of 247 m2/g. The chemical bonds between COFs and DANC formed by Schiff base reaction appeared in FTIR and XPS. The pyrolysis behavior of the composite was characterized by TG-IR, which showed that the composite had good thermal stability. With the advantages of nanocellulose as a material in every dimension, we believe that this method can be conducive to the large-scale synthesis of COFs composites, and has the possibility of multi-form synthesis of COFs.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers have received considerable attention in recent years because of their applicability as biomaterials. In particular, their hierarchical pore structures, variable morphologies, and tunable biological properties make them suitable as drug-delivery systems. In this review, the synthetic and post forming/control methods including templated methods, template-free methods, mechanical methods, electrospun methods, and 3D printing methods for controlling the hierarchical structures and morphologies of porous organic polymers are discussed, and the different methods affecting their specific surface areas, hierarchical structures, and unique morphologies are highlighted in detail. In addition, we discuss their applications in drug encapsulation and the development of stimuli (pH, heat, light, and dual-stimuli)-responsive materials, focusing on their use for targeted drug release and as therapeutic agents. Finally, we present an outlook concerning the research directions and applications of porous polymer-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Despite tremendous efforts, the world continues its fight against the common chronic disease-diabetes. Diabetes is caused by elevated glucose levels in the blood, which can lead to several complications like glaucoma, cataract, kidney failure, diabetic ketoacidosis, heart attack, and stroke. According to recent statistics, China, India, and the US rank at the top three positions with regards to the number of patients affected by diabetes. Ever since its discovery, insulin is one of the major therapeutic molecules that is used to control the disease in the diabetic population, worldwide. The most common route of insulin administration has been the subcutaneous route. However, the limitations associated with this route have motivated global efforts to explore alternative strategies to deliver insulin, including pulmonary, transdermal, nasal, rectal, buccal, and oral routes. Oral insulin delivery is the most convenient and patient-centered route. However, the oral route is also associated with numerous drawbacks that present significant challenges to the scientific fraternity. The human physiological system acts as a formidable barrier to insulin, limiting its bioavailability. The present review covers the major barriers against oral insulin delivery and explains formulation strategies that have been adopted to overcome these barriers. The review focuses on oral insulin delivery strategies (OIDS) for increasing the bioavailability of oral insulin, including nanoparticles, microparticles, nano-in-microparticles, hydrogels, tablets, capsules, intestinal patches, and use of ionic liquids. It also highlights some of the notable recent advancements and clinical trials in oral insulin delivery. This formulation based OIDS may significantly improve patient compliance in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Stable and continuous supply of essential biomolecules is critical to mimic in vivo microenvironments wherein spontaneous generation of various cell types occurs. Here, we report a new platform that enables highly efficient neuronal cell generation of neural stem cells using single metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticle-embedded nanopit arrays (SMENA). By optimizing the physical parameters of homogeneous periodic nanopatterns, each nanopit can confine single nMOFs (UiO-67) that are specifically designed for long-term storage and release of retinoic acid (RA). The SMENA platform successfully inhibited physical interaction with cells, which contributed to remarkable stability of the nMOF (RA⊂UiO-67) structure without inducing nanoparticle-mediated toxicity issues. Owing to the continuous and long-term supply of RA, the neural stem cells showed enhanced mRNA expressions of various neurogenesis-related activities. The developed SMENA platform can be applied to other stem cell sources and differentiation lineages and is therefore useful for various stem cell-based regenerative therapies.

Abstract
The use of nanoparticles (NPs) has surely grown in recent years due to their versatility, with a spectrum of applications that range from nanomedicine to the food industry. Recent research focuses on the development of NPs for the oral administration route rather than the intravenous one, placing the interactions between NPs and the intestine at the centre of the attention. This allows the NPs functionalization to exploit the different characteristics of the digestive tract, such as the different pH, the intestinal mucus layer, or the intestinal absorption capacity. On the other hand, these same characteristics can represent a problem for their complexity, also considering the potential interactions with the food matrix or the microbiota. This review intends to give a comprehensive look into three main branches of NPs delivery through the oral route: the functionalization of NPs drug carriers for systemic targets, with the case of insulin carriers as an example; NPs for the delivery of drugs locally active in the intestine, for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases and colon cancer; finally, the potential concerns and side effects of the accidental and uncontrolled exposure to NPs employed as food additives, with focus on E171 (titanium dioxide) and E174 (silver NPs).

Abstract
Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) are a class of crystalline porous organic polymers that consist of covalently linked, two-dimensional sheets that can stack together through noncovalent interactions. Here we report the synthesis of a novel COF, called PyCOFamide, which has an experimentally observed pore size that is greater than 6 nm in diameter. This is among the largest pore size reported to date for a 2D-COF. PyCOFamide exhibits permanent porosity and high crystallinity as evidenced by the nitrogen adsorption, powder X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. We show that the pore size of PyCOFamide is large enough to accommodate fluorescent proteins such as Superfolder green fluorescent protein and mNeonGreen. This work demonstrates the utility of noncovalent structural reinforcement in 2D-COFs to produce larger and persistent pore sizes than previously possible.

Abstract
Controlling the crystal size and surface chemistry of MOF materials, and understanding their multifunctional effect are of great significance for the biomedical applications of MOF systems. Herein, we designed and synthesized a new anionic MOF, ZJU-64-NSN, which features 1D channels decorated with highly polarized thiadiazole groups, and its crystal size could be systematically tuned from 200 μm to 300 nm through a green and simple approach. As a result, the optimal nanosized ZJU-64-NSN is found to enable an ultrafast loading of cationic drug procainamide (PA) (21.2 wt% within 1 min). Moreover, the undesirable chemical stability of PA@ZJU-64-NSN is greatly improved by the surface coating of polyethylene glycol (PEG) biopolymer. The final drug delivery system PEG/PA@ZJU-64-NSN is found to effectively prevent PA from premature release under the harsh stomach environments due to the intense host-guest interaction, and mainly release PA to the targeted intestinal surroundings. Such controlled drug delivery is proved to be triggered by endogenic Na+ ions instead of H+ ions, well revealed by the study on the dynamics behavior of drug release and UV–Vis absorption spectrum. Good biocompatibility of ZJU-64-NSN and PEG-coated ZJU-64-NSN has been fully demonstrated by MTT assay as well as confocal microscopy imaging. A new anionic MOF enables an ultrafast drug loading. The crystal size of such MOF could be well size-controlled. The surface coating of PEG improves the chemical stability of drug carrier. The drug delivery system reveals an endogenic Na + -triggered procainamide release.

Abstract
We use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the phase behavior of binary mixtures of di-substituted polyphenyl-like compounds and metal atoms of different sizes. We have estimated the possible on-surface behavior that could be useful for the target design of particular ordered networks. We have found that due to the variation of system conditions, we can observe the formation of the parallel, square, and triangular networks, Archimedean tessellation, and "spaghetti wires." All of these structures have been characterized by various order parameters.
