Abstract
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing fields of high social and economic impact. such as human health preservation, energy conversion and storage, environmental decontamination, and art restoration. However, the possible global-scale application of nanomaterials is raising increasing concerns, mostly related to the possible toxicity of materials at the nanoscale. The possibility of using nanomaterials in cosmetics, and hence in products aimed to be applied directly to the human body, even just externally, is strongly debated. Preoccupation arises especially from the consideration that nanomaterials are mostly of synthetic origin, and hence are often seen as "artificial" and their effects as unpredictable. Melanin, in this framework, is a unique material since in nature it plays important roles that specific cosmetics are aimed to cover, such as photoprotection and hair and skin coloration. Moreover, melanin is mostly present in nature in the form of nanoparticles, as is clearly observable in the ink of some animals, like cuttlefish. Moreover, artificial melanin nanoparticles share the same high biocompatibility of the natural ones and the same unique chemical and photochemical properties. Melanin is hence a natural nanocosmetic agent, but its actual application in cosmetics is still under development, also because of regulatory issues. Here, we critically discuss the most recent examples of the application of natural and biomimetic melanin to cosmetics and highlight the requirements and future steps that would improve melanin-based cosmetics in the view of future applications in the everyday market.

Abstract
Poly(levodopa) nanoparticles (P(l-DOPA) NPs) are another kind of melanin mimetic besides well-established polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs). Due to the presence of carboxyl groups, the oxidative polymerization of l-DOPA to obtain particles was not as efficient as that of dopamine. Several established methods toward P(l-DOPA) NP fabrication do not combine convenience, morphological regularity, size controllability, low cost, and adaptability to metal-free application scenarios. In this work, P(l-DOPA) NPs were successfully prepared in hot water with the assistant of organic quaternary ammonium, due to the extra physical cross-linking mediated by cations. The employed physical interactions could also be affected by quaternary ammonium structure (i.e., number of cation heads, length of alkyl chain) to achieve different polymerization acceleration effects. The obtained P(l-DOPA) NPs retained superior photothermal properties and outperformed PDA-based melanin materials. Furthermore, P(l-DOPA) NPs were used in photothermal tumor therapy and showed better efficacy. This study offers new insights into the synthesis of melanin-like materials, as well as new understanding of the interaction between quaternary ammonium and bioinspired polyphenolic materials.

Abstract
Nature has exhibited a high degree of control over the structures and functions. Supramolecules have been utilized to mimic the subtle assembly in nature. However, sophisticated synthesis of molecular skeletons or programmable design of the driving forces raises great challenges in fabricating high-level superstructures in a controlled manner. Natural polyphenols show great promises as building blocks for a diverse of assemblies with controlled structures and functionalities. The intrinsically embedded phenolic groups (i. e., catechol and galloyl groups) are readily forming multiple molecular interactions, including coordination, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions with various materials of inorganic particles, organic compounds, synthetic polymers, and biomacromolecules, providing the self-assembled structures or nanocoating on surfaces. Subsequent assembly occurred by further bonding of polyphenols to construct supraparticles. To gain control over the self-assembly, the key lies in the interplay among the molecular interactions with one or two being dominant. In this Perspective, we introduce the representative polyphenol-based assemblies and their derived supraparticles to exhibit the effective harness of the controlled self-assembly by polyphenols.

Abstract
The metabolite transport inhibition of tumor cells holds promise to achieve anti-tumor efficacy. Herein, we presented an innovative strategy to hinder the delivery of metabolites through the in-situ besieging tumor cells with polyphenolic polymers that strongly adhere to the cytomembrane of tumor cells. Simultaneously, these polymers underwent self-crosslinking under the induction of tumor oxidative stress microenvironment to form an adhesive coating on the surface of the tumor cells. This polyphenol coating effectively obstructed glucose uptake, reducing metabolic products such as lactic acid, glutathione, and adenosine triphosphate, while also causing reactive oxygen species to accumulate in the tumor cells. The investigation of various tumor models, including 2D cells, 3D multicellular tumor spheroids, and xenograft tumors, demonstrated that the polyphenolic polymers effectively inhibited the growth of tumor cells by blocking key metabolite transport processes. Moreover, this highly adhesive coating could bind tumor cells to suppress their metastasis and invasion. This work identified polyphenolic polymers as a promising anticancer candidate with a mechanism by impeding the mass transport of tumor cells.

Abstract
In the current years, polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) have been extensively investigated as an eumelanin mimic. However, unlike natural eumelanin, PDA NPs contain no 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA)-derived units and may be limited in certain intrinsic properties; superior eumelanin-like nanomaterials are still actively being sought. Levodopa (l-DOPA) is a natural eumelanin precursor and expected to convert into DHICA and further remain within the final product through covalent or physical interactions. Herein, poly(levodopa) nanoparticles [P(l-DOPA) NPs] were synthesized with the assistance of zinc oxide as a supplement to synthetic eumelanin. This study found that P(l-DOPA) NPs had ∼90% DHICA-derived subunits on their surface and exhibited superior antioxidant activity compared to PDA NPs due to their looser polymeric microstructure. Benefitting from a stronger ROS scavenging ability, P(l-DOPA) NPs outperformed PDA NPs in treating cellular oxidative stress and acute inflammation. This research opens up new possibilities for the development and application of novel melanin-like materials.

Abstract
Designing effective nanomedicines to induce durable anti-tumor immunity represents a promising strategy for improving moderate immune stimulation. In this study, we engineered a multifunctional nanoreactor (named SCGFP NPs) for remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME) to improve the therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy. The core of SCGFP NPs consists of CaCO3 loaded with SN38, prepared by the gas diffusion method, and coated with a significant amount of gallic acid-Fe3+-PEG coordination polymer on the surface. In the acidic TME, SCGFP NPs explosively release exogenous Ca2+ and SN38. The SN38-induced intracellular Ca2+ accumulation and exogenous Ca2+ synergistically trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) through sustained Ca2+ overload. The ablation of tumors with high-intensity photothermal therapy (PTT) by near-infrared (NIR) irradiation of GA-Fe3+ induces tumor cell necrosis, further enhancing ICD activation. Additionally, SN38 upregulates PD-L1, amplifying tumor responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). This study indicates that SCGFP NPs, through the integration of a trimodal therapeutic strategy, hold enormous potential for various types of tumor immunotherapy through distinct mechanisms or synergistic effects.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides (TCMPs) have gained increasing attention in the field of nanomedicine due to their diverse biological activities and favorable characteristics as drug carriers, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, safety, and ease of modification. TCMPs-based nano-drug delivery systems (NDDSs) offer several advantages, such as evasion of reticuloendothelial system (RES) phagocytosis, protection against biomolecule degradation, enhanced drug bioavailability, and potent therapeutic effects. Therefore, a comprehensive review of the latest developments in TCMPs-based NDDSs and their applications in disease therapy is of great significance. This review provides an overview of the structural characteristics and biological activities of TCMPs relevant to carrier design, the strategies employed for constructing TCMPs-based NDDSs, and the versatile role of TCMPs in these systems. Additionally, current challenges and future prospects of TCMPs in NDDSs are discussed, aiming to provide valuable insights for future research and clinical translation.

Abstract
Due to the presence of natural neoantigens, autologous tumor cells hold great promise as personalized therapeutic vaccines. Yet autologous tumor cell vaccines require multi-step production that frequently leads to the loss of immunoreactive antigens, causing insufficient immune activation and significantly hampering their clinical applications. Herein, we introduce a novel whole-cell cancer vaccine by cloaking cancer cells with lipopolysaccharide-decorated manganese(II)-phenolic networks (MnTA nanocloaks) to evoke tumor-specific immune response for highly efficacious synergistic cancer immunotherapy. The natural polyphenols coordinate with Mn2+ and immediately adhere to the surface of individual cancer cells, thereby forming a nanocloak and encapsulating tumor neoantigens. Subsequent decoration with lipopolysaccharide induces internalization by dendritic cells, where Mn2+ ions are released in the cytosol, further facilitating the activation of the stimulator of the interferon genes (STING) pathway. Highly effective tumor suppression was observed by combining the nanocloaked cancer cell treatment with anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1) antibodies-mediated immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Our work demonstrates a universal yet simple strategy to engineer a cell-based nanobiohybrid system for enhanced cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Sliver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted tremendous interest as an alternative to commercially available antibiotics due to their low microbial resistance and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. However, AgNPs are highly reactive and unstable and are susceptible to fast oxidation. Synthesizing stable and efficient AgNPs using green chemistry principles remains a major challenge. To address this issue, we establish a facile route to form AgNP-doped zein nanoparticle core-satellite superstructures with ultralow minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). In brief, polyphenol surface-functionalization of zein nanoparticles was performed, and the epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) layer on zein nanoparticles served as a reducing-cum-stabilizing agent. We used EGCG-decorated zein nanoparticles (ZE) as a template to direct the nucleation and growth of AgNPs to develop metallized hybrid nanoparticles (ZE-Ag). The highly monodispersed core-satellite nanoparticles (∼150 nm) decorated with ∼4.9 nm AgNPs were synthesized successfully. The spatial restriction of EGCG by zein nanoparticles confined the nucleation and growth of AgNPs only on the surface of the particles, which prevented the formation of entangled clusters of polyphenols and AgNPs and concomitantly inhibited the coalescence and oxidation of AgNPs. Thus, this strategy improved the effective specific surface area of AgNPs, and as a result, ZE-Ag efficiently killed the indicator bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) after 20 min of incubation, with MBCs of 2 and 4 μg/mL, respectively. This situation indicated that as-prepared core-satellite nanoparticles possessed potent short-term sterilization capability. Moreover, the simulated wound infection model also confirmed the promising application of ZE-Ag as an efficient antimicrobial composite. This work provides new insights into the synthesis and emerging application of AgNPs in food preservation, packaging, biomedicine, and catalysis.

Abstract
Chronic wounds frequently arise as a complication in diabetic patients, and their management remains a significant clinical hurdle due to their nonhealing nature featured by heightened oxidative stress and impaired healing cells at the wound site. Herein, we present a 2D copper antioxidant nanozyme induced by phenolic ligand-metal charge transfer (LMCT) to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and facilitate the healing of chronic diabetic wounds. We found that polyphenol ligands coordinated on the Cu3(PO4)2 nanosheets led to a strong charge transfer at the interface and regulated the valence states of Cu. The obtained Cu nanozyme exhibited efficient scavenging ability toward different oxidative species and protected human cells from oxidative damage. The nanozyme enhanced the healing of diabetic wounds by promoting re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and immunoregulation. This work demonstrates the LMCT-induced ROS scavenging ability on a nanointerface, providing an alternative strategy of constructing metal-based nanozymes for the treatment of diabetic wounds as well as other diseases.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is considered to be the "gold standard" among the stealth polymers employed for drug delivery. Using PEG to modify or engineer particles has thus gained increasing interest because of the ability to prolong blood circulation time and reduce nonspecific biodistribution of particles in vivo, owing to the low fouling and stealth properties of PEG. In addition, endowing PEG-based particles with targeting and drug-loading properties is essential to achieve enhanced drug accumulation at target sites in vivo. In this feature article, we focus on recent work on the synthesis of PEG particles, in which PEG is the main component in the particles. We highlight different synthesis methods used to generate PEG particles, the influence of the physiochemical properties of PEG particles on their stealth and targeting properties, and the application of PEG particles in targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Recently, drug delivery strategies based on nanomaterials have attracted a lot of interest in different kinds of therapies because of their superior properties. Polydopamine (PDA), one of the most interesting materials in nanomedicine because of its versatility and biocompatibility, has been widely investigated in the drug delivery field. It can be easily functionalized to favor processes like cellular uptake and blood circulation, and it can also induce drug release through two kinds of stimuli: NIR light irradiation and pH. In this review, we describe PDA nanomaterials' performance on drug delivery, based on their size, morphology, and surface charge. Indeed, these characteristics strongly influence the main mechanisms involved in a drug delivery system: blood circulation, cellular uptake, drug loading, and drug release. The understanding of the connections between PDA nanosystems' properties and these phenomena is pivotal to obtain a controlled design of new nanocarriers based on the specific drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) has emerged as a significant health concern among the elderly population, with increasing attention paid to ferroptosis-induced OA in recent years. However, the prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids can lead to a series of side effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to employ the Mannich condensation reaction between epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and selenomethionine (SeMet) to efficiently synthesize polyphenol-based nanodrugs in aqueous media for treating OA. Molecular biology experiments demonstrated that EGCG-based nanodrugs (ES NDs) could effectively reduce glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inactivation, abnormal Fe2+ accumulation, and lipid peroxidation induced by oxidative stress, which ameliorated the metabolic disorder of chondrocytes and other multiple pathological processes triggered by ferroptosis. Moreover, imaging and histopathological analysis of the destabilization of the medial meniscus model in mice confirmed that ES NDs exhibiting significant therapeutic effects in relieving OA. The intra-articular delivery of ES NDs represents a promising approach for treating OA and other joint inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Nowadays, natural materials as smart building blocks for assembling functional materials have aroused extensive interest in the scientific community. Proteins and polyphenols are typical natural building blocks that are widely used. On the one hand, proteins are one of the most versatile classes of biomolecules, serving as catalysts, signaling molecules, transporters, receptors, scaffolds that maintain the integrity of cell and tissue, and more. On the other hand, the facile adhesion of naturally abundant polyphenols with other substances and their potential biomedical applications have been highly attractive for functional biomaterials fabrication. Additionally, there are a variety of interactions between the proteins and polyphenols, mainly hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and ionic interactions. These reversible dynamic interactions enable proteins and polyphenols to form stable protein-polyphenol assemblies and maintain their inherent structures and biological activities in the assemblies. Therefore, protein-polyphenol assemblies can be applied to design a variety of advanced functional materials for biomedical applications. Herein, recent progress in protein-polyphenol particles, capsules, coatings, and hydrogels is summarized, the preparation and application of these assemblies are introduced in detail, and the future of the field is prospected.

Abstract
Tailoring the hydrophobicity of supramolecular assembly building blocks enables the fabrication of well-defined functional materials. However, the selection of building blocks used in the assembly of metal-phenolic networks (MPNs), an emerging supramolecular assembly platform for particle engineering, has been essentially limited to hydrophilic molecules. Herein, we synthesized and applied biscatechol-functionalized hydrophobic polymers (poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) and poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA)) as building blocks to engineer MPN particle systems (particles and capsules). Our method allowed control over the shell thickness (e.g., between 10 and 21 nm), stiffness (e.g., from 10 to 126 mN m-1 ), and permeability (e.g., 28-72 % capsules were permeable to 500 kDa fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran) of the MPN capsules by selection of the hydrophobic polymer building blocks (PMA or PBA) and by controlling the polymer concentration in the MPN assembly solution (0.25-2.0 mM) without additional/engineered assembly processes. Molecular dynamics simulations provided insights into the structural states of the hydrophobic building blocks during assembly and mechanism of film formation. Furthermore, the hydrophobic MPNs facilitated the preparation of fluorescent-labeled and bioactive capsules through postfunctionalization and also particle-cell association engineering by controlling the hydrophobicity of the building blocks. Engineering MPN particle systems via building block hydrophobicity is expected to expand their use.

Abstract
Although bioactive compounds (BCs) have many important functions, their applications are greatly limited due to their own defects. The development of nanocarriers (NCs) technology has gradually overcome the defects of BCs. NCs are equally important as BCs to some extent. Self-assembly (SA) methods to build NCs have many advantages than chemical methods, and SA has significant impact on the structure and function of NCs. However, the relationship among SA mechanism, structure, and function has not been given enough attention. Therefore, from the perspective of bottom-up building mechanism, the concept of SA-structure-function of NCs is emphasized to promote the development of SA-based NCs. First, the conditions and forces for occurring SA are introduced, and then the SA basis and molecular mechanism of protein, polysaccharide, and lipid are summarized. Then, varieties of the structures formed based on SA are introduced in detail. Finally, facing the defects of BCs and how to be well solved by NCs are also elaborated. This review attempts to describe the great significance of constructing artificial NCs to deliver BCs from the aspects of SA-structure-function, so as to promote the development of SA-based NCs and the wide application of BCs.

Abstract
Bone defects have a severe impact on the health and lives of patients due to their long-lasting and difficult-to-treat features. Recent studies have shown that there are complex microenvironments, including excessive production of reactive oxygen species. Herein, a surface functionalization strategy using metal-polyphenolic networks was used, which was found to be beneficial in restoring oxidative balance and enhancing osseointegration. The surface properties, biocompatibility, intracellular ROS scavenging, and osseointegration capacity were evaluated, and the therapeutic effects were confirmed using a skull defect model. This approach has great potential to improve complex microenvironments and enhance the efficiency of bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to iron overloading and subsequent neuronal ferroptosis, which hinders the recovery of locomotor function. However, it is still unclear whether the maintenance of neuronal iron homeostasis enables to revitalize intrinsic neurogenesis. Herein, we report the regulation of cellular iron homeostasis after SCI via the chelation of excess iron ions and modulation of the iron transportation pathway using polyphenol-based hydrogels for the revitalization of intrinsic neurogenesis. The reversed iron overloading can promote neural stem/progenitor cell differentiation into neurons and elicit the regenerative potential of newborn neurons, which is accompanied by improved axon reinnervation and remyelination. Notably, polyphenol-based hydrogels significantly increase the neurological motor scores from ~8 to 18 (out of 21) and restore the transmission of sensory and motor electrophysiological signals after SCI. Maintenance of iron homeostasis at the site of SCI using polyphenol-based hydrogels provides a promising paradigm to revitalize neurogenesis for the treatment of iron accumulation-related nervous system diseases.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) and immunotherapy are emerging as exciting cancer therapeutic methods with significant potential for improving patient outcomes. By combining these approaches, synergistic effects have been observed in preclinical studies, resulting in enhanced immune responses to cancer and the capacity to conquer the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite challenges such as addressing treatment limitations and developing personalized cancer treatment strategies, the integration of nanotechnology-enabled PDT and immunotherapy, along with advanced photosensitizers (PSs), represents an exciting new avenue in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Benefiting from low costs, structural diversities, tunable catalytic activities, feasible modifications, and high stability compared to the natural enzymes, reactive oxygen nanobiocatalysts (RONBCs) have become dominant materials in catalyzing and mediating reactive oxygen species (ROS) for diverse biomedical and biological applications. Decoding the catalytic mechanism and structure-reactivity relationship of RONBCs is critical to guide their future developments. Here, this timely review comprehensively summarizes the recent breakthroughs and future trends in creating and decoding RONBCs. First, the fundamental classification, activity, detection method, and reaction mechanism for biocatalytic ROS generation and elimination have been systematically disclosed. Then, the merits, modulation strategies, structure evolutions, and state-of-art characterisation techniques for designing RONBCs have been briefly outlined. Thereafter, we thoroughly discuss different RONBCs based on the reported major material species, including metal compounds, carbon nanostructures, and organic networks. In particular, we offer particular insights into the coordination microenvironments, bond interactions, reaction pathways, and performance comparisons to disclose the structure-reactivity relationships and mechanisms. In the end, the future challenge and perspectives for RONBCs are also carefully summarised. We envision that this review will provide a comprehensive understanding and guidance for designing ROS-catalytic materials and stimulate the wide utilisation of RONBCs in diverse biomedical and biological applications.

Atmosphere-inspired multilayered nanoarmor with modulable protection and delivery of Interleukin-4 for inflammatory microenvironment modulation. Biomaterials 2023; 301:122254.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been closely associated with immune disorders and excessive M1 macrophage activation, which can be reversed by the M2-polarizing effect of interleukin-4 (IL-4). However, maintaining native IL-4 activity with its specific release in the inflammatory microenvironment and efficient biological performance remain a challenge. Inspired by the multilayered defense mechanism of the earth's atmosphere, we constructed a multilayered protective nanoarmor (NA) for IL-4 delivery (termed as IL-4@PEGRA NAs) into an intricate inflammatory microenvironment. The poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-ylated phenolic rosmarinic acid (RA)-grafted copolymer contains two protective layers-the intermediate polyphenol (RA molecules) and outermost shield (PEG) layers-to protect the biological activity of IL-4 and prolong its circulation in blood. Moreover, IL-4@PEGRA NAs scavenge reactive oxygen species with the specific release of IL-4 and maximize its biofunction at the site of inflammation, leading to M2 macrophage polarization and downregulation of inflammatory mediators. Simultaneously, gut microbiota dysbiosis can improve to amplify the M2-polarizing effect and inhibit the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway, thereby attenuating inflammation and promoting colitis tissue repair. It provides a nature-inspired strategy for constructing an advanced multilayered NA delivery system with protective characteristics and potential for IBD management.

Abstract
A novel dual-responsive nanoparticle (NP) system was aimed to be developed for the co-delivery of camptothecin (CPT) and plasmid encoding TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (pTRAIL) DNA in cancer therapy. The combination of the prodrug CPT and the nucleic acid condensing di-(triazole-[12]aneN3) unit with 4-nitrobenzyl ester through alkyl chains resulted in three nitroreductase (NTR) responsive amphiphiles, CNN1-CNN3 (with 5, 8, and 11 carbon chains, respectively). Among them, CNN2 was the most effective in inhibiting the proliferation of HeLa cells in the presence of fusogenic lipid DOPE. The NPs composed of CNN2, pDNA, and DOPE were further co-assembled with ROS-responsive thioketal-linked amphiphilic polymer (TTP) to afford the core-shell NPs (CNN2-DT/pDNA) with an average size of 118 nm, which exhibited high drug-loading capacity, excellent serum tolerance, and good biocompatibility. In the presence of ROS, NTR, and NADH, the core-shell NPs were decomposed, leading to the efficient release of 80% CPT and abundant pDNA. The self-assembly and delivery process of CNN2-DT NPs and DNA were clearly observed through the AIE fluorescent imaging. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that the CNN2-DT/pTRAIL NPs synergistically promoted 68% apoptosis of tumor cells and inhibited tumor growth with negligible toxic side effects. This study showed that the combination of prodrug and nucleic acid through dual-responsive core-shell NPs provide a spatially and temporally-controlled strategy for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Metal-polyphenol networks (MPNs) are of immense scientific interest because of their simple and rapid process to deposit on various substrates or particles with different shapes. However, there are rare reports on the effect of polyphenol molecular structure on coating efficiency and mechanism of MPNs. Herein, three typical flavonoid polyphenols, catechin (Cat), epigallocatechin (EGC) and procyanidin (PC), with the same skeleton (C6-C3-C6) but subtle distinction in molecular structure, were selected to build MPN coatings with ferric ions (Fe3+). And various techniques combined with the density functional theory (DFT) were applied to deeply reveal the roles of coordinative phenolic hydroxyl groups as well as noncovalent interactions (hydrogen bonding and π - π stacking) in the formation of flavonoid-based MPNs. We found that more accessible numbers of coordinative phenolic hydroxyl groups, the higher coating efficiency. In these flavonoid-based MPNs, the single-complex is the predominant during the coordinative modes between phenolic hydroxyl and Fe3+, not the previously reported mono-complex, bis-complex and/or tris-complex. Besides coordinative interaction, noncovalent interactions also contribute to MPNs formation, and hydrogen bonds prevail in the noncovalent interaction compared with π-π stacking. And these engineered MPN coatings can endow the substrate with excellent antioxidant activities. This study contributes to in-depth understanding the building mechanism of flavonoid-based MPNs, and increasing coating efficiency by choosing proper polyphenols.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic drugs have been found to activate the immune response against tumors by inducing immunogenic cell death, in addition to their direct cytotoxic effects toward tumors, therefore broadening the application of chemotherapy in tumor immunotherapy. The combination of other therapeutic strategies, such as phototherapy or radiotherapy, could further strengthen the therapeutic effects of immunotherapy. Nanostructures can facilitate multimodal tumor therapy by integrating various active agents and combining multiple types of therapeutics in a single nanostructure. Biomembrane nanostructures (e.g., exosomes and cell membrane-derived nanostructures), characterized by superior biocompatibility, intrinsic targeting ability, intelligent responsiveness and immune-modulating properties, could realize superior chemoimmunotherapy and represent next-generation nanostructures for tumor immunotherapy. This review summarizes recent advances in biomembrane nanostructures in tumor chemoimmunotherapy and highlights different types of engineering approaches and therapeutic mechanisms. A series of engineering strategies for combining different biomembrane nanostructures, including liposomes, exosomes, cell membranes and bacterial membranes, are summarized. The combination strategy can greatly enhance the targeting, intelligence and functionality of biomembrane nanostructures for chemoimmunotherapy, thereby serving as a stronger tumor therapeutic method. The challenges associated with the clinical translation of biomembrane nanostructures for chemoimmunotherapy and their future perspectives are also discussed.

Abstract
SO2 removal is critical to flue gas purification. However, based on performance and cost, materials under development are hardly adequate substitutes for active carbon-based materials. Here, we engineered biomass-derived nanostructured carbon nanofibers integrated with highly dispersed bimetallic Ti/CoOx nanoparticles through the thermal transition of metal-phenolic functionalized industrial leather wastes for synergistic SO2 adsorption and in situ catalytic conversion. The generation of surface-SO32- and peroxide species (O22-) by Ti/CoOx achieved catalytic conversion of adsorbed SO2 into value-added liquid H2SO4, which can be discharged from porous nanofibers. This approach can also avoid the accumulation of the adsorbed SO2, thereby achieving high desulfurization activity and a long operating life over 6000 min, preceding current state-of-the-art active carbon-based desulfurization materials. Combined with the techno-economic and carbon footprint analysis from 36 areas in China, we demonstrated an economically viable and scalable solution for real-world SO2 removal on the industrial scale.

Abstract
Therapeutic bioactive macromolecules hold great promise in cancer therapy, but challenges such as low encapsulation efficiency and susceptibility to inactivation during the targeted co-delivery hinder their widespread applications. Compartmentalized nano-metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) can easily load macromolecules in the innermost layer, protect them from the outside environment, and selectively release them in the target location after stimulation, showing great potential in the co-delivery of biomacromolecules. Herein, the rationally designed (GOx + CAT)/ZIF-8@BSATPZ/ZIF-8 (named GCZ@BTZ) nMOFs with compartmentalized structures are employed to deliver cascaded enzymes and the chemotherapeutic drug tirapazamine (TPZ)-conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSATPZ). Benefiting from the compartmentalized structure and protective shell, the GCZ@BTZ system is stable during blood circulation and preferentially accumulates in the tumor. Furthermore, in response to the acidic tumor environment, GCZ@BTZ effectively released the loading enzymes and BSATPZ. Along with the tumor starvation caused by depletion of glucose, cascaded reactions could also contribute to the enhancement of tumor hypoxia, which further activated BSATPZ-based chemotherapy. Notably, in the mouse tumor models, GCZ@BTZ treatment significantly inhibits tumor survival and metastasis. Such a compartmentalized nMOF delivery system presents a promising avenue for the efficient delivery of bioactive macromolecules.

Abstract
Averrhoa bilimbi leaf extract was successfully utilized as a reducing agent to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the laboratory. The phytochemicals in the extract helped keep the silver nanoparticles stable and slowed them down. Different methods, such as UV-visible, FT-IR spectroscopies, XRD, and SEM analyses, were used to characterize the size, shape, and morphology of the nanoparticles, and the results showed that the synthesized nanoparticles were spherical and monodispersed. FTIR spectrum streaching vibrations shown stabillization of silver nanoparticles by green extract. On the other hand, these nanoparticles were labelled as Averrhoa bilimbi (AB) extract silver nanoparticles (AB-AgNPs). The biological synthesis process was proven to enhance the efficacy of the synthesized silver nanoparticles. The effectiveness of AB-AgNPs in fighting cancer could be enhanced specifically for lung cancer (A549 cell line) and breast cancer (MCF7 cell line) by optimizing the necessary conditions. The IC50 value for A549 cells was 49.52 g mL-1, while that for MCF7 cells was 78.40 g mL-1. The effect of AgNPs on both cell lines was assessed using an MTT assay, which showed a dose-dependent cytotoxicity effect. The biosynthesized AB-AgNPs hold great potential as anticancer agents. Their synthesis using Averrhoa bilimbi leaf extract as a reducing agent was proven to be successful, resulting in spherical and monodispersed nanoparticles that exhibit effective cytotoxicity against cancer cells.

Abstract
cGAS-STING signaling is a central component in the therapeutic action of most existing cancer therapies. The accumulated knowledge of tumor immunoregulatory network in recent years has spurred the development of cGAS-STING agonists for tumor treatment as an effective immunotherapeutic strategy. However, the clinical translation of these agonists is thus far unsatisfactory because of the low immunostimulatory efficacy and unrestricted side effects under clinically relevant conditions. Interestingly, the rational integration of biomaterial technology offers a promising approach to overcome these limitations for more effective and safer cGAS-STING-mediated tumor therapy. Herein, we first outline the cGAS-STING signaling axis and generally discuss its association with tumors. We then symmetrically summarize the recent progress in those biomaterial-based cGAS-STING agonism strategies to generate robust antitumor immunity, categorized by the chemical nature of those cGAS-STING stimulants and carrier substrates. Finally, a perspective is provided to discuss the existing challenges and potential opportunities in cGAS-STING modulation for tumor therapy.

Abstract
The incidence of tissue and organ damage caused by various diseases is increasing worldwide. Tissue engineering is a promising strategy of tackling this problem because of its potential to regenerate or replace damaged tissues and organs. The biochemical and biophysical cues of biomaterials can stimulate and induce biological activities such as cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, and ultimately achieve tissue repair and regeneration. Micro/nano materials are a special type of biomaterial that can mimic the microstructure of tissues on a microscopic scale due to its precise construction, further providing scaffolds with specific three-dimensional structures to guide the activities of cells. The study and application of biomimetic micro/nano-materials have greatly promoted the development of tissue engineering. This review aims to provide an overview of the different types of micro/nanomaterials, their preparation methods and their application in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare single-component LNPs with sugar alcohol fatty acid monoesters for temperature-controlled release. In total, 20 kinds of lipids with a series of sugar alcohol head groups (ethylene glycol, glycerol, erythritol, xylitol and sorbitol) and fatty acyl tails (12:0, 14:0, 16:0 and 18:0) were synthesised via lipase-catalysed esterification. Their physicochemical properties and upper/lower critical solution temperature (LCST/USCT) were analysed. Two groups of mixed lipids, 78 % ethylene glycol lauric acid monoester + 22 % sorbitol stearic acid monoester (LNP-1) and 90 % ethylene glycol lauric acid monoester + 10 % xylitol myristic acid monoester (LNP-2), had LCST/USCT of approximately 37 °C, which formed empty LNPs using the emulsification-diffusion method. These two mixed lipids were prepared for LNPs loaded with curcumin, showing high encapsulation (>90 %), mean particle sizes of approximately 250 nm and low polydispersity index (≤0.2). These lipids have the potential for tailor-made LNPs achieving thermo-responsivity in delivering bioactive agents and drugs.

Abstract
Conventional treatment to periodontal and many other bone defects requires the use of barrier membranes to guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR). However, current barrier membranes normally lack of the ability to actively regulate the bone repairing process. Herein, we proposed a biomimetic bone tissue engineering strategy enabled by a new type of Janus porous polylactic acid membrane (PLAM), which was fabricated by combining unidirectional evaporation-induced pore formation with subsequent self-assembly of a bioactive metal-phenolic network (MPN) nanointerface. The prepared PLAM-MPN simultaneously possesses barrier function on the dense side and bone-forming function on the porous side. In vitro, the presence of MPN nanointerface potently alleviated the proinflammatory polarization of mice bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), induced angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and enhanced the attachment, migration and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). The implantation of PLAM-MPN into rat periodontal bone defects remarkably enhanced bone regeneration. This bioactive MPN nanointerface within a Janus porous membrane possesses versatile capacities to regulate cell physiology favoring bone regeneration, demonstrating great potential as GTR and GBR membranes for clinical applications.

Abstract
Antimicrobial agents are massively used to disinfect the pathogen contaminated surfaces since the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. However, their defects of poor durability, strong irritation, and high environmental accumulation are exposed. Herein, a convenient strategy is developed to fabricate long-lasting and target-selective antimicrobial agent with the special hierarchical structure through bottom-up assembly of natural gallic acid with arginine surfactant. The assembly starts from rodlike micelles, further stacking into hexagonal columns and finally interpenetrating into spherical assemblies, which avoid explosive release of antimicrobial units. The assemblies show anti-water washing and high adhesion on various surfaces; and thus, possess highly efficient and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities even after using up to eleven cycles. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments prove that the assemblies are highly selective in killing pathogens without generating toxicity. The excellent antimicrobial virtues well satisfy the increasing anti-infection demands and the hierarchical assembly exhibits great potential as a clinical candidate.

Abstract
Pathogenic microorganisms in the environment are a great threat to global human health. The development of disinfection method with rapid and effective antibacterial properties is urgently needed. In this study, a biomimetic silver binding peptide AgBP2 was introduced to develop a facile synthesis of biocompatible Ag2 S quantum dots (QDs). The AgBP2 capped Ag2 S QDs exhibited excellent fluorescent emission in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, with physical stability and photostability in the aqueous phase. Under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation, AgBP2-Ag2 S QDs can serve not only as a photothermal agent to realize NIR photothermal conversion but also as a photocatalyst to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The obtained AgBP2-Ag2 S QDs achieved a highly effective disinfection efficacy of 99.06 % against Escherichia coli within 25 min of NIR irradiation, which was ascribed to the synergistic effects of photogenerated ROS during photocatalysis and hyperthermia. Our work demonstrated a promising strategy for efficient bacterial disinfection.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) technology that breaks the diffraction limit has revolutionized the field of cell biology since its appearance, which enables researchers to visualize cellular structures with nanometric resolution, multiple colors and single-molecule sensitivity. With the flourishing development of hardware and the availability of novel fluorescent probes, the impact of SRM has already gone beyond cell biology and extended to nanomedicine, material science and nanotechnology, and remarkably boosted important breakthroughs in these fields. In this review, we will mainly highlight the power of SRM in modern biomedical science, discussing how these SRM techniques revolutionize the way we understand cell structures, biomaterials assembly and how assembled biomaterials interact with cellular organelles, and finally their promotion to the clinical pre-diagnosis. Moreover, we also provide an outlook on the current technical challenges and future improvement direction of SRM. We hope this review can provide useful information, inspire new ideas and propel the development both from the perspective of SRM techniques and from the perspective of SRM's applications.

Abstract
In vivo fluorescence imaging has received extensive attention due to its distinguished advantages of excellent biosafety, high sensitivity, dual temporal-spatial resolution, real-time monitoring ability, and non-invasiveness. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) with near-infrared (NIR) absorption and emission wavelengths are ideal candidate for in vivo fluorescence imaging for their large Stokes shift, high brightness and superior photostability. NIR emissive AIEgens provide deep tissue penetration depth as well as low interference from tissue autofluorescence. Here in this review, we summarize the molecular engineering strategies for constructing NIR AIEgens with high performances, including extending π-conjugation system and strengthen donor (D)-acceptor (A) interactions. Then the encapsulation strategies for increasing water solubility and biocompatibility of these NIR AIEgens are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and prospect of fabricating NIR AIEgens for in vivo fluorescence imaging are also discussed. We hope this review would provide some guidelines for further exploration of new NIR AIEgens.

Abstract
Cancer cell membrane (CCM) derived nanotechnology functionalizes nanoparticles (NPs) to recognize homologous cells, exhibiting translational potential in accurate tumor therapy. However, these nanoplatforms are majorly generated from fixed cell lines and are typically evaluated in cell line-derived subcutaneous-xenografts (CDX), ignoring the tumor heterogeneity and differentiation from inter- and intra- individuals and microenvironments between heterotopic- and orthotopic-tumors, limiting the therapeutic efficiency of such nanoplatforms. Herein, various biomimetic nanoplatforms (CCM-modified gold@Carbon, i.e., Au@C-CCM) were fabricated by coating CCMs of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines and patient-derived cells on the surface of Au@C NP. The generated Au@C-CCMs were evaluated on corresponding CDX, tongue orthotopic xenograft (TOX), immune-competent primary and distant tumor models, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The Au@C-CCM generates a photothermal conversion efficiency up to 44.2% for primary HNSCC therapy and induced immunotherapy to inhibit metastasis via photothermal therapy-induced immunogenic cell death. The homologous CCM endowed the nanoplatforms with optimal targeting properties for the highest therapeutic efficiency, far above those with mismatched CCMs, resulting in distinct tumor ablation and tumor growth inhibition in all four models. This work reinforces the feasibility of biomimetic NPs combining modular designed CMs and functional cores for customized treatment of HNSCC, can be further extended to other malignant tumors therapy.

Abstract
Apart from the obvious benefit of "trash-to-treasure", the acquisition of natural nanomaterials from cheap and renewable waste has been intensively researched because of various bioactivities and physical-chemical features. Herein, for the first time, we employed natural cuttlefish ink nanoparticles (CINPs) as a multifunctional label and designed colorimetric-photothermal dual-mode lateral flow immunoassays (CINPs-mediated CPLFIA) for sensitive detection of clenbuterol (CL). The accessibility and renewability of CINPs overcome barriers that artificial nanomaterials face, such as complex manufacturing and relatively high costs. Additionally, inspired by the mussel adhesion, the bio-affinity of CINPs, such as antibody coupling and preservation, was investigated and showed to be considerably superior to Au NPs, leading to significantly increased immunosensor sensitivity. Meanwhile, CINPs exhibit excellent photothermal conversion efficiency for dual-signal production, avoiding the effect of environmental elements (particularly light) for colorimetric mode. Besides, the biosensor was integrated with a smartphone and a thermal imager for portable sensing. After optimization, the detection limit of CINPs-mediated CPLFIA was 0.179 ng mL-1 (colorimetric mode) and 0.076 ng mL-1 (photothermal mode), which were significantly lower than traditional gold nanoparticles-based LFIA (0.786 ng mL-1). This research attempted to explain the rise in sensitivity. From food waste to food supervision, this research explores the hidden value of natural resources.

Abstract
Extensive resection of the small intestine leads to the development of short bowel syndrome (SBS), which reduces the effective absorptive surface area of the intestine and predisposes patients to emaciation, malnutrition, and other severe symptoms. Herein, green tea catechin (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and ferrous ions (Fe2+ ) are utilized to construct a nutrient carrier platform that self-assembles with nutrients to form phenolic-based nutrient complexes (PNCs). PNCs effectively prolong the residence and absorption time of nutrients in the intestine. Further this platform is applied to integrate full nutrient formula, an enteral nutrition (EN) preparation containing a range of full nutrient components. In an SBS rat model, the prepared phenolic-based integrative nutrient complexes (PINCs) enhance nutritional status, improve anemia and immune function, as well as facilitate the growth of remaining intestinal villi and crypts, and maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier. In addition, PINCs enable the modulation of gut microbial dysbiosis, enrich the abundance of beneficial bacteria, and have no toxic effects after the long-term ingestion. These results provide a proof of principle for the use of polyphenol-based nanocomplexes as EN preparation, offering a feasible strategy for both nutritional support and therapeutic perspectives for SBS treatment.

Abstract
Polyphenol, one of the major components that exert the therapeutic effect of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), comprises several categories, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans and stilbenes, and has long been studied in oncology due to its significant efficacy against cancers in vitro and in vivo. Recent evidence has linked this antitumor activity to the role of polyphenols in the modulation of redox homeostasis (e.g., pro/antioxidative effect) in cancer cells. Dysregulation of redox homeostasis could lead to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in oxidative stress, which is essential for many aspects of tumors, such as tumorigenesis, progression, and drug resistance. Thus, investigating the ROS-mediated anticancer properties of polyphenols is beneficial for the discovery and development of novel pharmacologic agents. In this review, we summarized these extensively studied polyphenols and discussed the regulatory mechanisms related to the modulation of redox homeostasis that are involved in their antitumor property. In addition, we discussed novel technologies and strategies that could promote the development of CHM-derived polyphenols to improve their versatile anticancer properties, including the development of novel delivery systems, chemical modification, and combination with other agents.

Abstract
Calcium mishandling and mitochondrial dysfunction have been increasingly recognized as significant factors involved in the progression procedure of cardiomyopathy. Ca2+ mishandling could cause calcium-triggered arrhythmias, which could enhance force development and ATP consumption. Mitochondrial disorganization and dysfunction in cardiomyopathy could disturb the balance of energy catabolic and anabolic procedure. Close spatial localization and arrangement of structural among T-tubule, sarcoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria are important for Ca2+ handling. So that, we illustrate the regulating network between calcium handling and mitochondrial homeostasis, as well as its intracellular mechanisms in this review, which would be worthy to develop novel therapeutic strategy and restore the function of injured cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
The complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) is featured by low pH values, high redox status, and hypoxia, which greatly supports the genesis, development, and metastasis of tumors, leading to drug resistance and clinical failure. Moreover, a lot of immunosuppressive cells infiltrate in such TME, resulting in depressing immunotherapy. Therefore, the development of TME-responsive nanoplatforms has shown great significance in enhancing cancer therapeutics. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs)-based nanosystems, which self-assemble via coordination of phenolic materials and metal ions, have emerged as excellent TME theranostic nanoplatforms. MPNs have unique properties including fast preparation, tunable morphologies, pH response, and biocompatibility. Besides, functionalization and surface modification can endow MPNs with specific functions for application requirements. Here, the representative engineering strategies of various polyphenols are first introduced, followed by the introduction of the engineering mechanisms of polyphenolic nanosystems, fabrication, and distinct properties of MPNs. Then, their advances in TME modulation are highlighted, such as antiangiogenesis, hypoxia relief, combination therapy sensitization, and immunosuppressive TME reversion. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and future perspectives of MPNs-based nanosystems for enhancing cancer therapy.

Abstract
Advanced drug delivery systems are of vital importance to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Among various recently developed formulations, self-assembling hydrogels composed of therapeutic agents have shown promising potential for local drug delivery owing to their excellent biocompatibility, high drug-loading efficiency, low systemic toxicity, and sustained drug release behavior. In particular, therapeutic agents self-assembling hydrogels with well-defined nanostructures are beneficial for direct delivery to the target site via injection, not only improving drug availability, but also extending their retention time and promoting cellular uptake. In brief, the self-assembly approach offers better opportunities to improve the precision of pharmaceutical treatment and achieve superior treatment efficacies. In this review, we intend to cover the recent developments in therapeutic agent self-assembling hydrogels. First, the molecular structures, self-assembly mechanisms, and application of self-assembling hydrogels are systematically outlined. Then, we summarize the various self-assembly strategies, including the single therapeutic agent, metal-coordination, enzyme-instruction, and co-assembly of multiple therapeutic agents. Finally, the potential challenges and future perspectives are discussed. We hope that this review will provide useful insights into the design and preparation of therapeutic agent self-assembling hydrogels.

Abstract
Owing to its pH-sensitive property and chelating Cu2+ effect, poly(methacrylate citric acid) (PCA) can be utilized as a dual functional nanocarrier to construct a nanodelivery system. Negatively charged carboxyl groups can interact with positively charged antineoplastic drugs through electrostatic interaction to form stable drug nanoparticles (NPs). Through drug experimental screening, doxorubicin (DOX) was selected as the model drug, PCA/DOX NPs with a diameter of 84 nm were prepared, and the drug-loading content was 68.3%. PCA/DOX NPs maintained good stability and a sustained release profile. Cell experiments presented that PCA/DOX NPs could inhibit effectively the growth of 4T1 cells; the IC50 value was decreased by approximately 15-fold after incubation for 72 h. The cytotoxicity toward H9C2 was decreased significantly. Moreover, based on its ability to efficiently adsorb copper ions, PCA showed good vascular growth inhibition effect in vitro. Furthermore, animal experiments showed that PCA/DOX NPs presented stronger anticancer effects than DOX; the tumor inhibition rate was increased by 1.5-fold. Myocardial toxicity experiments also confirmed that PCA reduced the cardiotoxicity of DOX. In summary, PCA/DOX NPs show good antitumor efficacy and low toxicity, and have good potential for clinical application.

Abstract
The biomolecular corona that forms on particles upon contact with blood plays a key role in the fate and utility of nanomedicines. Recent studies have shown that precoating nanoparticles with serum proteins can improve the biocompatibility and stealth properties of nanoparticles. However, it is not fully clear how precoating influences biomolecular corona formation and downstream biological responses. Herein, we systematically examine three precoating strategies by coating bovine serum albumin (single protein), fetal bovine serum (FBS, mixed proteins without immunoglobulins), or bovine serum (mixed proteins) on three nanoparticle systems, namely supramolecular template nanoparticles, metal-phenolic network (MPN)-coated template (core-shell) nanoparticles, and MPN nanocapsules (obtained after template removal). The effect of protein precoating on biomolecular corona compositions and particle-immune cell interactions in human blood was characterized. In the absence of a pre-coating, the MPN nanocapsules displayed lower leukocyte association, which correlated to the lower amount (by 2-3 fold) of adsorbed proteins and substantially fewer immunoglobulins (more than 100 times) in the biomolecular corona relative to the template and core-shell nanoparticles. Among the three coating strategies, FBS precoating demonstrated the most significant reduction in leukocyte association (up to 97% of all three nanoparticles). A correlation analysis highlights that immunoglobulins and apolipoproteins may regulate leukocyte recognition. This study demonstrates the impact of different precoating strategies on nanoparticle-immune cell association and the role of immunoglobulins in bio-nano interactions.
