Abstract
Therapeutic cancer vaccines offer the greatest advantage of enhancing antigen-specific immunity against tumors, particularly for immunogenic tumors, such as melanoma. However, clinical responses remain unsatisfactory, primarily due to inadequate T cell priming and the development of acquired immune tolerance. A major obstacle lies in the inefficient uptake of antigen by peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) and their migration to lymph nodes for antigen presentation. In this context, the magnetic delivery of antigen-loaded magnetic liposomes (Ag-MLs) to actively target lymph node, is proposed. These magnetic responsive liposomes contain soluble mouse melanoma lysate and iron oxide nanoparticles in the core, along with the immunostimulatory adjuvant CpG-1826 incorporated into the lipid bilayer. When applied through magnetic targeting in the mouse melanoma model, Ag-MLs accumulate significantly in the target lymph nodes. This accumulation results in increased population of active DCs in lymph nodes and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) within tumors, correlating with effective tumor growth inhibition. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of magnetic targeting as an effective strategy for delivering cancer vaccines and activating the immune response, offering a novel platform for cancer immunotherapies.

Abstract
Magnetic Drug Targeting (MDT) is of particular interest to researchers because of its good loading efficiency, targeting accuracy, and versatile use in vivo. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a global chronic disease with a high mortality rate, and the development of more precise and effective treatments is imminent. A growing number of studies have begun to explore the feasibility of MDT in CVD, but an up-to-date systematic summary is still lacking. This review discusses the current research status of MDT from guiding magnetic fields, magnetic nanocarriers, delivery channels, drug release control, and safety assessment. The current application status of MDT in CVD is also critically introduced. On this basis, new insights into the existing problems and future optimization directions of MDT are further highlighted.

Abstract
Depression is a severe mental disorder among public health issues. Researchers in the field of mental health and clinical psychiatrists have long been faced with difficulties in slow treatment cycles, high recurrence rates, and lagging efficacy. These obstacles have forced us to seek more advanced and effective treatments. Research has shown that novel drug delivery strategies for natural medicinal plants can effectively improve the utilization efficiency of the active molecules in these plants and therefore improve their efficacy. Currently, with the development of treatment technologies and the constant updating of novel drug delivery strategies, the addition of natural medicinal antidepressant therapy has given new significance to the study of depression treatment against the background of novel drug delivery systems. Based on this, this review comprehensively evaluates and analyses the research progress in novel drug delivery systems, including nanodrug delivery technology, in intervention research strategies for neurological diseases from the perspective of natural medicines for depression treatment. This provided a new theoretical foundation for the development and application of novel drug delivery strategies and drug delivery technologies in basic and clinical drug research fields.

Abstract
A glioma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults and is categorized according to its growth potential and aggressiveness. Within gliomas, grade 4 glioblastoma remains one of the most lethal malignant solid tumors, with a median survival time less than 18 months. By encapsulating CPT-11 and oleic acid-coated magnetic nanoparticles (OMNPs) in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles, we first prepared PLGA@OMNP@CPT-11 nanoparticles in this study. After conjugating cetuximab (CET) with PLGA@OMNP@CPT-11, spherical PLGA@OMNP@CPT-11-CET nanoparticles with 250 nm diameter, 33% drug encapsulation efficiency, and 22% drug loading efficiency were prepared in a single emulsion/evaporation step. The nanoparticles were used for dual-targeted delivery of CPT-11 to U87 primary glioblastoma cells by actively targeting the overexpressed epidermal growth factor receptor on the surface of U87 cells, as well as by magnetic targeting. The physicochemical properties of nanoparticles were characterized in detail. CET-mediated targeting promotes intracellular uptake of nanoparticles by U87 cells, which can release four times more drug at pH 5 than at pH 7.4 to facilitate drug release in endosomes after intracellular uptake. The nanovehicle PLGA@OMNP-CET is cytocompatible and hemocompatible. After loading CPT-11, PLGA@OMNP@CPT-11-CET shows the highest cytotoxicity toward U87 compared with free CPT-11 and PLGA@OMNP@CPT-11 by providing the lowest drug concentration for half-maximal cell death (IC50) and the highest rate of cell apoptosis. In orthotopic brain tumor-bearing nude mice with U87 xenografts, intravenous injection of PLGA@OMNP@ CPT-11-CET followed by guidance with a magnetic field provided the best treatment efficacy with the lowest tumor-associated signal intensity from bioluminescence imaging.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant bone tumor in adolescents. Currently, the commonly used treatment strategies for OS include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, these methods have some problems that cannot be ignored, such as postoperative sequelae and severe side effects. Therefore, in recent years, researchers have been looking for other means to improve the treatment or diagnosis effect of OS and increase the overall survival rate of patients. With the development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles (NPs) have presented excellent properties in improving the therapeutic efficacy of drugs for OS. Nanotechnology makes it possible for NPs to combine various functional molecules and drugs to achieve multiple therapeutic effects. This review presents the important properties of multifunctional NPs for the treatment and diagnosis of OS and focuses on the research progress of common NPs applied for drug or gene delivery, phototherapy and diagnosis of OS, such as carbon-based quantum dots, metal, chitosan and liposome NPs. Finally, the promising prospects and challenges of developing multifunctional NPs with enhanced efficacy are discussed, which lays the foundation and direction for improving the future therapeutic and diagnostic methods of OS.

Abstract
Magnetic-stimuli responsive hydrogels are quickly becoming a promising class of materials across numerous fields, including biomedical devices, soft robotic actuators, and wearable electronics. Hydrogels are commonly fabricated by conventional methods that limit the potential for complex architectures normally required for rapidly changing custom configurations. Rapid prototyping using 3D printing provides a solution for this. Previous work has shown successful extrusion 3D printing of magnetic hydrogels; however, extrusion-based printing is limited by nozzle resolution and ink viscosity. VAT photopolymerization offers a higher control over resolution and build-architecture. Liquid photo-resins with magnetic nanocomposites normally suffer from nanoparticle agglomeration due to local magnetic fields. In this work, we develop an optimised method for homogenously infusing up to 2 wt % superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with a 10 nm diameter into a photo-resin composed of water, acrylamide and PEGDA, with improved nanoparticle homogeneity and reduced agglomeration during printing. The 3D printed starfish hydrogels exhibited high mechanical stability and robust mechanical properties with a maximum Youngs modulus of 1.8 MPa and limited shape deformation of 10% when swollen. Each individual arm of the starfish could be magnetically actuated when a remote magnetic field is applied. The starfish could grab onto a magnet with all arms when a central magnetic field was applied. Ultimately, these hydrogels retained their shape post-printing and returned to their original formation once the magnetic field had been removed. These hydrogels can be used across a wide range of applications, including soft robotics and magnetically stimulated actuators.

Abstract
The combined passive and active targeting of tumoral tissue remains an active and relevant cancer research field. Here, we exploit the properties of two highly magnetic nanomaterials, magnetosomes and ultramagnetic liposomes, in order to magnetically target prostate adenocarcinoma tumors, implanted orthotopically or subcutaneously, to take into account the role of tumor vascularization in the targeting efficiency. Analysis of organ biodistribution in vivo revealed that, for all conditions, both nanomaterials accumulate mostly in the liver and spleen, with an overall low tumor retention. However, both nanomaterials were more readily identified in orthotopic tumors, reflecting their higher tumor vascularization. Additionally, a 2- and 3-fold increase in nanomaterial accumulation was achieved with magnetic targeting. In summary, ultramagnetic nanomaterials show promise mostly in the targeting of highly-vascularized orthotopic murine tumor models.

Abstract
Zein is a type of prolamine protein that is derived from corn, and it has been recognized by the US FDA as one of the safest biological materials available. Zein possesses valuable characteristics that have made it a popular choice for the preparation of drug carriers, which can be administered through various routes to improve the therapeutic effect of antitumor drugs. Additionally, zein contains free hydroxyl and amino groups that offer numerous modification sites, enabling it to be hybridized with other materials to create functionalized drug delivery systems. However, despite its potential, the clinical translation of drug-loaded zein-based carriers remains challenging due to insufficient basic research and relatively strong hydrophobicity. In this paper, we aim to systematically introduce the main interactions between loaded drugs and zein, administration routes, and the functionalization of zein-based antitumor drug delivery systems, in order to demonstrate its development potential and promote their further application. We also provide perspectives and future directions for this promising area of research.

Abstract
Magnetically-activated lipid nanocarriers have become a research hotspot in the field of biomedicine. Liposomes and other lipid-based carriers possess good biocompatibility as well as the ability to carrying therapeutic cargo with a range of physicochemical properties. Previous studies have demonstrated that magnetic materials have potential wide applications in clinical diagnosis and therapy, such as in MRI as contrast agents and in hyperthermic obliteration of cancer tissues. More recently magneto-thermal activation of lipid carriers to stimulate drug release has extended the range of further therapeutic benefits. Here, an overview of the current development of magnetically-activated lipid nanocarriers in the field of biomedicine is provided, including the methods of fabrication of the nanocarriers and their in vitro and in vivo performance. A discussion of the current barriers to translation of these materials as medicines is provided in the context of clinical and regulatory complexities of using magnetically responsive materials in therapeutic applications.

Abstract
This paper deals with the detection of small magnetization using a thin film magneto-impedance sensor with subjecting to strong normal field. The sensor was made by soft magnetic amorphous thin-film with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in the width direction of the element. It was reported that the sensor has very high sensitivity, such as pico-tesla order, when it is driven by hundreds of MHz. In this paper, a sensitive measurement method aiming for detection of a small particle or a cluster of nano-particles, having low-remanence, is proposed. The point is the application of strong normal field in the measurement area including sensor element and particle. The normal strong field is applied in the normal direction of the sensor plane in the value almost hundreds of mT. Instead of such strong normal field, the sensor keeps high sensitivity, because of the demagnetizing force in the thickness direction. A theoretical estimation for clarifying an efficiency of the method, experimental results of sensor property and sensitivity with subjecting to the normal field, and also a confirmation of detection of a small particle using the proposed method is reported. As a special mention, detection fundamentals when a applied surface normal field has a distribution and also a particle would run through in the vicinity of sensor is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) is a promising method to improve the therapy efficiency for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancers. In MDT, therapeutic agents are bonded to superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) cores and then are guided toward the damaged tissue through a magnetic field. Fundamentally, it's vital to steer the SPIONs to the desired location to increase the capture efficiency at the target lesion. Hence, the present study aims to enhance the drug delivery to the desired branch in a carotid bifurcation. Besides, it is tried to decrement the particles' entry to the unwanted outlet by using four different magnet configurations (with a maximum magnetic flux density of 0.4 T) implanted adjacent to the artery wall. Also, the effect of particles' diameter -ranging from 200 nm to 2 µm- on the drug delivery performance is studied in the four cases. METHODS The Eulerian-Lagrangian approach with one-way coupling is employed for numerical simulation of the problem using the finite element method (FEM). The dominant forces acting on particles are drag and magnetophoretic. A computed tomography (CT) model of the carotid bifurcation is adopted to have a 3D realistic geometry. The blood flow is considered to be laminar, incompressible, pulsatile, and non-Newtonian. Boundary conditions are applied using the three-element Windkessel equation. RESULTS Results are presented in terms of velocity, pressure, magnetic field flux density, wall shear stress, and streamlines. Also, the number of particles in each direction is presented for the four studied cases. The results show that using proper magnets configurations makes it possible to guide more particles to the desired branch (up to 4%) while preventing particles from entering the unwanted branch (up to 13%). By defining connectivity between oscillatory shear index (OSI) value and magnetic drug delivery efficacy, it becomes clear that places with lower OSI values are more proper to place the magnets than areas with higher OSI values. CONCLUSIONS It was observed that increasing the diameter of particles does not necessarily result in a higher drug delivery efficiency. The configuration of the magnets and the size of particles are the main affecting parameters that should be chosen precisely to meet the most efficient drug delivery performance. Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) is a promising method to improve the therapy efficiency for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancers. Fundamentally, it's vital to steer the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to the target lesion location to increase the capture efficiency. Hence, the present study aims to enhance the drug delivery to the desired branch in a 3D carotid bifurcation.

Abstract
A detection system for magnetic inclusions of large bulk, such as that of a whole human body, is proposed in this paper. The system consists of both a uniform magnetic field generating apparatus capable of the insertion of a whole human body and also of a high-sensitivity magnetic sensor array installed in the strong magnetic field. The system can detect the magnetic inclusion simultaneously through its magnetization, which is advantageous for detecting low-remanence magnetic materials, such as a cluster of nanoparticles. The thin-film magneto-impedance sensor was reported to be capable of tolerating strong magnetic fields of more than 3000 Gauss (0.3 T) in the substrate's normal direction and can retain its sensitivity even in strong fields. Through a combination of both uniformity of strength and the placement of its directionally aligned, static magnetic field in a particular measurement area and its array of single-dimensional thin-film magneto-impedance sensors, it was reported that it can estimate a magnetic sample's 3D position by using a simple equation. The aim of the system developed in this study is to nondestructively detect a cluster of magnetic nanoparticles in a human body and also to detect the position and the concentration of the clustered magnetic particles. In this paper, a prototype system consisting of a magnetic field generator with an area of W500 mm × L400 mm × H210 mm and a uniform magnetic field of 370 Gauss (37 mT) is reported. It also reported that the thin-film magneto-impedance sensor installed in the system verified the detection of 2 mm × 1 mm small ellipsoidal magnetic chips at a distance of 27 mm from the sensor element.

Abstract
Solubility and functionality of polymeric materials are essential properties determining their role in any application. In that regard, double hydrophilic copolymers (DHC) are typically constructed from two chemically dissimilar but water-soluble building blocks. During the past decades, these materials have been intensely developed and utilised as, e.g., matrices for the design of multifunctional hybrid materials, in drug carriers and gene delivery, as nanoreactors, or as sensors. This is predominantly due to almost unlimited possibilities to precisely tune DHC composition and topology, their solution behavior, e.g., stimuli-response, and potential interactions with small molecules, ions and (nanoparticle) surfaces. In this contribution we want to highlight that this class of polymers has experienced tremendous progress regarding synthesis, architectural variety, and the possibility to combine response to different stimuli within one material. Especially the implementation of DHCs as versatile building blocks in hybrid materials expanded the range of water-based applications during the last two decades, which now includes also photocatalysis, sensing, and 3D inkjet printing of hydrogels, definitely going beyond already well-established utilisation in biomedicine or as templates.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based technologies are rapidly expanding into many areas of biomedicine and molecular science. The unique ability of magnetic nanoparticles to respond to the magnetic field makes them especially attractive for a number of in vivo applications including magnetofection. The magnetofection principle consists of the accumulation and retention of magnetic nanoparticles carrying nucleic acids in the area of magnetic field application. The method is highly promising as a clinically efficient tool for gene delivery in vivo. However, the data on in vivo magnetofection are often only descriptive or poorly studied, insufficiently systematized, and sometimes even contradictory. Therefore, the aim of the review was to systematize and analyze the data that influence the in vivo magnetofection processes after the systemic injection of magnetic nanostructures. The main emphasis is placed on the structure and coating of the nanomagnetic vectors. The present problems and future trends of the method development are also considered.

Abstract
Many central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), affect the deep brain region, which hinders their effective treatment. The hippocampus, a deep brain area critical for learning and memory, is especially vulnerable to damage during early stages of AD. Magnetic drug targeting has shown high potential in delivering drugs to a targeted disease site effectively by applying a strong electromagnetic force. This study illustrates a nanotechnology-based scheme for delivering magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) to the deep brain region. First, we developed a mathematical model and a molecular dynamic simulation to analyze membrane crossing, and to study the effects of particle size, aggregation, and crossing velocities. Then, using in vitro experiments, we studied effective parameters in aggregation. We have also studied the process and environmental parameters. We have demonstrated that aggregation size can be controlled when particles are subjected to external electromagnetic fields. Our simulations and experimental studies can be used for capturing MNPs in brain, the transport of particles across the intact BBB and deep region targeting. These results are in line with previous in vivo studies and establish an effective strategy for deep brain region targeting with drug loaded MNPs through the application of an external electromagnetic field.

Abstract
The role and scope of functional inorganic nanoparticles in biomedical research is well established. Among these, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have gained maximum attention as they can provide targeting, imaging and therapeutic capabilities. Furthermore, incorporation of organic optical probes with IONPs can significantly enhance the scope and viability of their biomedical applications. Combination of two or more such applications renders multimodality in nanoparticles, which can be exploited to obtain synergistic benefits in disease detection and therapy viz theranostics, which is a key trait of nanoparticles for advanced biomedical applications. This review focuses on the use of IONPs conjugated with organic optical probe/s for multimodal diagnostic and therapeutic applications in vivo.

Abstract
Rationale: The tireless research for effective drug delivery approaches is prompted by poor target tissue penetration and limited selectivity against diseased cells. To overcome these issues, various nano- and micro-carriers have been developed so far, but some of them are characterized by slow degradation time, thus hampering repeated drug administrations. The aim of this study was to pursue a selective delivery of magnetic biodegradable polyelectrolyte capsules in a mouse breast cancer model, using an external magnetic field. Methods: Four different kinds of magnetic polyelectrolyte capsules were fabricated via layer-by-layer assembly of biodegradable polymers on calcium carbonate templates. Magnetite nanoparticles were embedded either into the capsules' shell (sample S) or both into the shell and the inner volume of the capsules (samples CnS, where n is the number of nanoparticle loading cycles). Samples were first characterized in terms of their relaxometric and photosedimentometric properties. In vitro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) experiments, carried out on RAW 264.7 cells, allowed the selection of two lead samples that proceeded for the in vivo testing on a mouse breast cancer model. In the set of in vivo experiments, an external magnet was applied for 1 hour following the intravenous injection of the capsules to improve their delivery to tumor, and MRI scans were acquired at different time points post administration. Results: All samples were considered non-cytotoxic as they provided more than 76% viability of RAW 264.7 cells upon 2 h incubation. Sample S appeared to be the most efficient in terms of T2-MRI contrast, but the less sensitive to external magnet navigation, since no difference in MRI signal with and without the magnet was observed. On the other side, sample C6S was efficiently delivered to the tumor tissue, with a three-fold T2-MRI contrast enhancement upon the external magnet application. The effective magnetic targeting of C6S capsules was also confirmed by the reduction in T2-MRI contrast in spleen if compared with the untreated with magnet mice values, and the presence of dense and clustered iron aggregates in tumor histology sections even 48 h after the magnetic targeting. Conclusion: The highlighted strategy of magnetic biodegradable polyelectrolyte capsules' design allows for the development of an efficient drug delivery system, which through an MRI-guided externally controlled navigation may lead to a significant improvement of the anticancer chemotherapy performance.

Abstract
Even though the administration of chemotherapeutic agents such as erlotinib is clinically established for the treatment of breast cancer, its efficiency and the therapy outcome can be greatly improved using RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms for a combinational therapy. However, the cellular uptake of bare small interfering RNA (siRNA) is insufficient and its fast degradation in the bloodstream leads to a lacking delivery and no suitable accumulation of siRNA inside the target tissues. To address these problems, non-ionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) were used as a nanocarrier platform to encapsulate Lifeguard (LFG)-specific siRNA inside the hydrophilic core. A preceding entrapment of superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (FexOy-NPs) inside the niosomal bilayer structure was achieved in order to enhance the cellular uptake via an external magnetic manipulation. After verifying a highly effective entrapment of the siRNA, the resulting hybrid niosomes were administered to BT-474 cells in a combinational therapy with either erlotinib or trastuzumab and monitored regarding the induced apoptosis. The obtained results demonstrated that the nanocarrier successfully caused a downregulation of the LFG gene in BT-474 cells, which led to an increased efficacy of the chemotherapeutics compared to plainly added siRNA. Especially the application of an external magnetic field enhanced the internalization of siRNA, therefore increasing the activation of apoptotic signaling pathways. Considering the improved therapy outcome as well as the high encapsulation efficiency, the formulated hybrid niosomes meet the requirements for a cost-effective commercialization and can be considered as a promising candidate for future siRNA delivery agents.

Abstract
Magnetophoresis is an important physical process with application to drug delivery, biomedical imaging, separation, and mixing. Other than empirically, little is known about how the magnetic field and magnetic properties of a solution affect the flux of magnetic particles. A comprehensive explanation of these effects on the transport of magnetic particles has not been developed yet. Here we formulate a consistent, constitutive equation for the magnetophoretic flux of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in a medium exposed to a stationary magnetic field. The constitutive relationship accounts for contributions from magnetic diffusion, magnetic convection, residual magnetization, and electromagnetic drift. We discovered that the key physical properties governing the magnetophoresis are magnetic diffusion coefficient, magnetic velocity, and activity coefficient, which depend on relative magnetic energy and the molar magnetic susceptibility of particles. The constitutive equation also reveals previously unknown ballistic and diffusive limits for magnetophoresis wherein the paramagnetic particles either aggregate near the magnet or diffusive away from the magnet, respectively. In the diffusive limit, the particle concentration is linearly proportional to the relative magnetic energy of the suspension of paramagnetic particles. The region of the localization of paramagnetic particles near the magnet decreases with increasing the strength of the magnet. The dynamic accumulation of nanoparticles, measured as the thickness of the nanoparticle aggregate, near the magnet compares well with the theoretical prediction. The effect of convective mixing on the rate of magnetophoresis is also discussed for the magnetic targeting applications.

Abstract
There are huge demands on multifunctional nanocarriers to be used in nanomedicine. Herein, we present a simple and efficient method for the preparation of multifunctional magnetically responsive polymeric-based nanocarriers optimized for biomedical applications. The hybrid delivery system is composed of drug-loaded polymer nanoparticles (poly(caprolactone), PCL) coated with a multilayer shell of polyglutamic acid (PGA) and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), which are known as bio-acceptable components. The PCL nanocarriers with a model anticancer drug (Paclitaxel, PTX) were formed by the spontaneous emulsification solvent evaporation (SESE) method, while the magnetically responsive multilayer shell was formed via the layer-by-layer (LbL) method. As a result, we obtained magnetically responsive polycaprolactone nanocarriers (MN-PCL NCs) with an average size of about 120 nm. Using the 9.4 T preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner we confirmed, that obtained MN-PCL NCs can be successfully used as a MRI-detectable drug delivery system. The magnetic hyperthermia effect of the MN-PCL NCs was demonstrated by applying a 25 mT radio-frequency (f = 429 kHz) alternating magnetic field. We found a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 55 W g-1. The conducted research fulfills the first step of investigation for biomedical application, which is mandatory for the planning of any in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Polymeric nanomaterials have become a prominent area of research in the field of drug delivery. Their application in nanomedicine can improve bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and, therefore, the effectiveness of various therapeutics or contrast agents. There are many studies for developing new polymeric nanocarriers; however, their clinical application is somewhat limited. In this review, we present new complex and multifunctional polymeric nanocarriers as promising and innovative diagnostic or therapeutic systems. Their multifunctionality, resulting from the unique chemical and biological properties of the polymers used, ensures better delivery, and a controlled, sequential release of many different therapeutics to the diseased tissue. We present a brief introduction of the classical formulation techniques and describe examples of multifunctional nanocarriers, whose biological assessment has been carried out at least in vitro. Most of them, however, also underwent evaluation in vivo on animal models. Selected polymeric nanocarriers were grouped depending on their medical application: anti-cancer drug nanocarriers, nanomaterials delivering compounds for cancer immunotherapy or regenerative medicine, components of vaccines nanomaterials used for topical application, and lifestyle diseases, ie, diabetes.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive Janus nanoparticles (NPs) with a two-facial structure have been used widely in biomedical applications. Among several methods to prepare these NPs, surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) has received much attention due to the precise deposition of polymers on the surface of the substrate. In this study, Janus nanoparticles with asymmetric surface chemistry were prepared through a masking method in three steps involving the covalent deposition of super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on the cross-linked substrate based on methotrexate (MTX)-grafted poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (CPM), surface functionalization of unreacted sites of immobilized SPIONs with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) in order to prepare the macro-initiator (Br-Fe3O4-CPM), growing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) on the surface of the macro-initiator through the SI-ATRP method. Optical microscopy was utilized to monitor the successful modification of SPIONs. Poly(methyl methacrylate)-iron oxide-poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PMMA-Fe3O4-PHEMA) microgel was exposed to optimum ultrasound (US) waves to prepare the PMMA-Fe3O4-PHEMA nanoparticle. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to confirm the precise deposition of polymers and the Janus structure. The MTX release of US-synthesized Janus NPs was studied in PBS at pH values of 7.4 and 5.8. The release data were analyzed using the Excel add-in DDSolver program to evaluate the kinetics of the drug release process from the nanocarrier under different pH values.

Abstract
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term inflammatory disease derived from an autoimmune disorder of the synovial membrane. Current therapeutic strategies for RA mainly aim to hamper the macrophages' proliferation and reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, the accumulation of therapeutic agents targeted at the inflammatory site should be a crucial therapeutic strategy. Nowadays, the nanocarrier system incorporated with stimuli-responsive property is being intensively studied, showing the potentially tremendous value of specific therapy. Stimuli-responsive (i.e., pH, temperature, light, redox, and enzyme) polymeric nanomaterials, as an important component of nanoparticulate carriers, have been intensively developed for various diseases treatment. A survey of the literature suggests that the use of targeted nanocarriers to deliver therapeutic agents (nanotherapeutics) in the treatment of inflammatory arthritis remains largely unexplored. The lack of suitable stimuli-sensitive polymeric nanomaterials is one of the limitations. Herein, we provide an overview of drug delivery systems prepared from commonly used stimuli-sensitive polymeric nanomaterials and some inorganic agents that have potential in the treatment of RA. The current situation and challenges are also discussed to stimulate a novel thinking about the development of nanomedicine.

Abstract
Despite the recent advances in drug development, the majority of novel therapeutics have not been successfully translated into clinical applications. One of the major factors hindering their clinical translation is the lack of a safe, non-immunogenic delivery system with high target specificity upon systemic administration. In this respect, extracellular vesicles (EVs), as natural carriers of bioactive cargo, have emerged as a promising solution and can be further modified to improve their therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we provide an overview of the biogenesis pathways, biochemical features, and isolation methods of EVs with an emphasis on their many intrinsic properties that make them desirable as drug carriers. We then describe in detail the current advances in EV therapeutics, focusing on how EVs can be engineered to achieve improved target specificity, better circulation kinetics, and efficient encapsulation of therapeutic payloads. We also identify the challenges and obstacles ahead for clinical translation and provide an outlook on the future perspective of EV-based therapeutics.

Abstract
Superparamagnetism has been widely used for many biomedical applications, such as early detection of inflammatory cancer and diabetes, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), hyperthermia, etc., whereas incorporation of superparamagnetism in stimulus-responsive hydrogels has now gained substantial interest and attention for application in these fields. Recently, pH-responsive superparamagnetic hydrogels showing the potential use in disease diagnosis, biosensors, polymeric drug carriers, and implantable devices, have been developed based on the fact that pH is an important environmental factor in the body and some disease states manifest themselves by a change in the pH value. However, improvement in pH sensitivity of magnetic hydrogels is a dire need for their practical applications. In this study, we report the distinctly high pH sensitivity of new synthesized dual-responsive magnetic hydrogel nanocomposites, which was accomplished by copolymerization (free-radical polymerization) of two pH-sensitive monomers, acrylic acid (AA) and vinylsulfonic acid (VSA) with an optimum ratio, in the presence of presynthesized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4(OH) x ). The monomers contain pH-sensitive functional groups (COO- and SO3 - for AA and VSA, respectively), and they have also been widely used as biomaterials because of the good biocompatibility. The pH sensitivity of the superparamagnetic hydrogel, poly(acrylic acid-co-vinylsulfonic acid), PAAVSA/Fe3O4, was investigated by swelling studies at different pH values from pH 7 to 1.4. Distinct pH reversibility of the system was also demonstrated through swelling/deswelling analysis. Thermal stability, chemical configuration, magnetic response, and structural properties of the system have been explored by suitable characterization techniques. Furthermore, the study reveals a pH-responsive significant change in the overall morphology and packing fraction of iron oxide nanoparticles in PAAVSA/Fe3O4 via energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) elemental mapping with the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) study (for freeze-dried PAAVSA/Fe3O4, swelled at different pH values), implying a drastic change in susceptibility and induced saturation magnetization of the system. These important features could be easily utilized for the purpose of diagnosis using magnetic probe and/or impedance analysis techniques.

Abstract
We report on the preparation of novel and multifunctional hybrid spherical-shaped nanostructures involving a double-hydrophilic block copolymer, namely the neutral cationic poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate]-b-poly[(vinyl benzyl trimethylammonium chloride)] (POEGMA-b-PVBTMAC) diblock copolymer, initially complexed with hydrophilic anionic magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and subsequently, with short deoxyribonucleic acid (113 bases DNA). The POEGMA-b-PVBTMAC copolymer, the copolymer/MNPs and the copolymer/MNPs/DNA tricomponent hybrid electrostatic complexes were studied by dynamic/electrophoretic light scattering (DLS/ELS) and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) techniques for the determination of their structure and solution properties. The MNPs were complexed efficiently with the oppositely charged diblock chains, leading to well-defined hybrid organic–inorganic spherical-shaped nanostructures. A significant aggregation tendency of the MNPs is noticed in cryo-TEM measurements after the electrostatic complexation of DNA, implying an accumulation of the DNA macromolecules on the surface of the hybrid tricomponent complexes. Magnetophoretic experiments verified that the MNPs maintain their magnetic properties after the complexation initially with the copolymer, and subsequently, within the block polyelectrolyte/MNPs/DNA nanostructures.

Abstract
Cancer-associated adipocytes have functional roles in tumor development through secreted adipocyte-derived factors and exosomes and also through metabolic symbiosis, where the malignant cells take up the lactate, fatty acids and glutamine produced by the neighboring adipocytes. Recent research has demonstrated the value of adipocytes as cell-based delivery platforms for drugs (or prodrugs), nucleic acids or loaded nanoparticles for cancer therapy. This strategy takes advantage of the biocompatibility of the delivery system, its ability to locate the tumor site and also the predisposition of cancer cells to come in functional contact with the adipocytes from the tumor microenvironment for metabolic sustenance. Also, their exosomal content can be used in the context of cancer stem cell reprogramming or as a delivery vehicle for different cargos, like non-coding nucleic acids. Moreover, the process of adipocytes isolation, processing and charging is quite straightforward, with minimal economical expenses. The present review comprehensively presents the role of adipocytes in cancer (in the context of obese and non-obese individuals), the main methods for isolation and characterization and also the current therapeutic applications of these cells as delivery platforms in the oncology sector.

Abstract
Over the last 20 years, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been the subject of increasing investigation due to their potential use as theranostic agents. Their unique physical properties (physical identity), ample possibilities for surface modifications (synthetic identity), and the complex dynamics of their interaction with biological systems (biological identity) make IONPs a unique and fruitful resource for developing magnetic field-based therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to the treatment of diseases such as cancer. Like all nanomaterials, IONPs also interact with different cell types in vivo, a characteristic that ultimately determines their activity over the short and long term. Cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system (macrophages), dendritic cells (DCs), and endothelial cells (ECs) are engaged in the bulk of IONP encounters in the organism, and also determine IONP biodistribution. Therefore, the biological effects that IONPs trigger in these cells (biological identity) are of utmost importance to better understand and refine the efficacy of IONP-based theranostics. In the present review, which is focused on anti-cancer therapy, we discuss recent findings on the biological identities of IONPs, particularly as concerns their interactions with myeloid, endothelial, and tumor cells. Furthermore, we thoroughly discuss current understandings of the basic molecular mechanisms and complex interactions that govern IONP biological identity, and how these traits could be used as a stepping stone for future research.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery system (DDS) is considered promising for cancer treatment. Compared with traditional DDS, the nanoparticle-based DDS shows improved efficacy by: 1) increasing half-life of vulnerable drugs and proteins, 2) improving the solubility of hydrophobic drugs, and 3) allowing controlled and targeted release of drugs in diseased site. This review mainly focuses on nanoparticle-based DDS fabricated from chitosan, silica, and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid). Their fabrication methods and applications in cancer treatment are introduced. The current limitations and future perspectives of the nanoparticle-based DDS are discussed.

Magnetic Nanoparticles Behavior in Biological Solutions; The Impact of Clustering Tendency on Sedimentation Velocity and Cell Uptake. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13071644.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are prone to exhibit physicochemical changes caused by their interaction with biological solutions. However, such interactions have been less considered in cancer therapy studies. The behavior of four iron oxide MNP formulations with different surface coatings, namely, chitosan (CS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), carboxymethyldextran (CMX), and polydimethylamine (PEA), was investigated, after their exposure to four different cell culture media (DMEM/F12 and MEM, among others) and six different cancer cell lines (HT29, HT1080, T24, MDA-MB-231, BxPC-3, and LS174T). The sedimentation (Vs) and diffusion (Vd) velocities of MNPs in different culture media were calculated. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to quantify cell uptake efficiency and physicochemical properties, respectively. Apart from PVA-coated MNPs, CMX-, CS-, and PEA-coated MNPs clustered and increased notably in size when dispensed in culture media. The different MNP formulations led either to a low (PVA-coated MNPs), medium (CS- and CMX-coated MNPs), or high (PEA-coated MNPs) clustering in the different culture media. Clustering correlated with the Vs and Vd of the MNPs and their subsequent interaction with cells. In particular, the CMX-coated MNPs with higher Vs and lower Vd internalized more readily than the PVA-coated MNPs into the different cell lines. Hence, our results highlight key considerations to include when validating nanoparticles for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Magnetic targeting strategies employ external magnet fields to manipulate magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) remotely, aiming to enhance their accumulation and penetration in vivo, which have received increasing attention in drug-delivery systems over the past decades. However, this approach has not yet been successful in translational clinical studies, largely due to the low efficacy and uncontrollable distribution of MNPs. The standard magnetic targeting strategy uses a single magnet and, thus, suffers from rapid drop-off of the magnetic field and field gradient with increasing distance away from the magnet surface. As a result, magnetic targeting of MNPs is often limited to superficial regions of interest. As reported in this issue of ACS Nano, Andrew Tsourkas and his colleagues showed that a two-magnet configuration can solve this dilemma by introducing a constant field gradient between the magnets for advanced magnetic targeting. The custom-built two-magnet device evidenced greatly enhanced accumulation and penetration of MNPs in a solid tumor model, shedding new light on future design considerations of magnetic targeting systems.

Abstract
Drug delivery to solid tumors is hindered by hydrostatic and physical barriers that limit the penetration of nanocarriers into tumor tissue. When exploiting the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect for passive targeting of nanocarriers, the increased interstitial fluid pressure and dense extracellular matrix in tumors limits the distribution of the nanocarriers to perivascular regions. Previous strategies have shown that magnetophoresis enhances accumulation and penetration of nanoparticles into solid tumors. However, because magnetic fields fall off rapidly with distance from the magnet, these methods have been limited to use in superficial tumors. To overcome this problem, we have developed a system comprising two oppositely polarized magnets that enables the penetration of magnetic nanocarriers into more deeply seeded tumors. Using this method, we demonstrate a 5-fold increase in the penetration and a 3-fold increase in the accumulation of magnetic nanoparticles within solid tumors compared to EPR.

Abstract
In the last few years, the use of nanoparticles for therapeutic applications has attracted the interest of many scientists, who are looking for effective methods to target nanoparticles linked to drugs directly to the diseased organs. Among them, magnetic targeting consists of magnetic systems (magnets or coils) which can impress high gradient magnetic fields and then magnetic forces on the magnetic nanoparticles. Despite some studies have reported an effective improvement in drug delivery by using this technique, there is still a paucity of studies able to quantify and explain the experimental results. In this scenario, "in silico" models allow to analyze and compare different magnetic targeting systems in their ability to generate the required magnetic field gradient for specific human targets.In this paper we then evaluated, by means of computational electromagnetics techniques, the attitude of various ad-hoc designed magnetic systems in targeting the heart tissues of differently aged human anatomical models.

Biodistribution, biocompatibility and targeted accumulation of magnetic nanoporous silica nanoparticles as drug carrier in orthopedics. J Nanobiotechnology 2020; 18:14. [PMID: 31941495 PMCID: PMC6964035 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-020-0578-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2019] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In orthopedics, the treatment of implant-associated infections represents a high challenge. Especially, potent antibacterial effects at implant surfaces can only be achieved by the use of high doses of antibiotics, and still often fail. Drug-loaded magnetic nanoparticles are very promising for local selective therapy, enabling lower systemic antibiotic doses and reducing adverse side effects. The idea of the following study was the local accumulation of such nanoparticles by an externally applied magnetic field combined with a magnetizable implant. The examination of the biodistribution of the nanoparticles, their effective accumulation at the implant and possible adverse side effects were the focus. In a BALB/c mouse model (n = 50) ferritic steel 1.4521 and Ti90Al6V4 (control) implants were inserted subcutaneously at the hindlimbs. Afterwards, magnetic nanoporous silica nanoparticles (MNPSNPs), modified with rhodamine B isothiocyanate and polyethylene glycol-silane (PEG), were administered intravenously. Directly/1/7/21/42 day(s) after subsequent application of a magnetic field gradient produced by an electromagnet, the nanoparticle biodistribution was evaluated by smear samples, histology and multiphoton microscopy of organs. Additionally, a pathohistological examination was performed. Accumulation on and around implants was evaluated by droplet samples and histology. RESULTS Clinical and histological examinations showed no MNPSNP-associated changes in mice at all investigated time points. Although PEGylated, MNPSNPs were mainly trapped in lung, liver, and spleen. Over time, they showed two distributional patterns: early significant drops in blood, lung, and kidney and slow decreases in liver and spleen. The accumulation of MNPSNPs on the magnetizable implant and in its area was very low with no significant differences towards the control. CONCLUSION Despite massive nanoparticle capture by the mononuclear phagocyte system, no significant pathomorphological alterations were found in affected organs. This shows good biocompatibility of MNPSNPs after intravenous administration. The organ uptake led to insufficient availability of MNPSNPs in the implant region. For that reason, among others, the nanoparticles did not achieve targeted accumulation in the desired way, manifesting future research need. However, with different conditions and dimensions in humans and further modifications of the nanoparticles, this principle should enable reaching magnetizable implant surfaces at any time in any body region for a therapeutic reason.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles have demonstrated considerable capacity for theranosis purposes due to their unique characteristics, including magnetic properties, comparable size to biomolecules, favorable conjugations of drugs and biomolecules, ability to labeling, and capability of sensing, separation, detection, and targeted drug delivery. They could be exploited in magnetic resonance imaging as the contrast agents and also warmed as exposed to an external magnetic AC field that could be applied in hyperthermia. Here, progresses and advances in the strategy and assembly of fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles are presented for stem cell tracing and drugs/biomolecules targeting into cells.

Abstract
Nanoplatforms have been used extensively as advanced carriers to enhance the effectiveness of drug delivery, mostly through passive aggregation provided by the enhanced permeability and retention effect. Mechanical stimuli provide a robust strategy to bolster drug delivery performance by increasing the accumulation of nanoplatforms at the lesion sites, facilitating on-demand cargo release and providing theranostic aims. In this review, we focus on recent advances of mechanoresponsive nanoplatforms that can accomplish targeted drug delivery, and subsequent drug release, under specific stimuli, either endogenous (shear stress) or exogenous (magnetic field and ultrasound), to synergistically combat atherosclerosis at the molecular level.

Abstract
Purpose: Here, we fabricated two plasmonic 2D Ti3C2Tx-based nanocomposites (Au/MXene and Au/Fe3O4/MXene) with similarly high anti-cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) capabilities, but with less in vivo toxicity than a pure MXene. Methods: Au/MXene was synthesized by in situ reduction of tetrachloroauric acid using NaBH4 on Ti3C2Tx flakes. For targeted PTT, magnetic Au/Fe3O4/MXene was synthesized via a reaction between freshly prepared magnetite Fe3O4 NPs and MXene solution, followed by in situ integration of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Results: Morphological characterization by XRD, SEM, and TEM revealed the successful synthesis of Au/MXene and Au/Fe3O4/MXene. Both new composites exhibited a significant in vitro dose-dependent PTT effect against human breast cancer cells MCF7. Interestingly, in vivo acute toxicity assays using zebrafish embryos indicated that Au/MXene and Au/Fe3O4/MXene had less embryonic mortality (LC50 ≫ 1000 µg/mL) than pure MXene (LC50=257.46 µg/mL). Conclusion: Our new Au/MXene and Au/Fe3O4/MXene nanocomposites could be safer and more suitable than the pure MXene for biomedical applications, especially when targeted PTT is warranted.

Abstract
Primary bronchial cancer accounts for almost 20% of all cancer death worldwide. One of the emerging techniques with tremendous power for lung cancer therapy is magnetic aerosol drug targeting (MADT). The use of a permanent magnet for effective drug delivery in a desired location throughout the lung requires extensive optimization, but it has not been addressed yet. In the present study, the possibility of using a permanent magnet for trapping the particles on a lung tumor is evaluated numerically in the Weibel's model from G0 to G3. The effect of different parameters is considered on the efficiency of particle deposition in a tumor located on a distant position of the lung bronchi and bronchioles. Also, the effective position of the magnetic source, tumor size, and location are the objectives for particle deposition. The results show that a limited particle deposition occurs on the lung branches in passive targeting. However, the incorporation of a permanent magnet next to the tumor enhanced the particle deposition fraction on G2 to up to 49% for the particles of 7 µm diameter. Optimizing the magnet size could also improve the particle deposition fraction by 68%. It was also shown that the utilization of MADT is essential for effective drug delivery to the tumors located on the lower wall of airway branches given the dominance of the air velocity and resultant drag force in this region. The results demonstrated the high competence and necessity of MADT as a noninvasive drug delivery method for lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
Recently, due to their promising applications in biomedicine, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MPs) have become one of the research hotspots in the nanomedicine field. Since various synthetic modifications have been widely applied to these nanoparticles for better targeting behaviors, it is meaningful to apply the optimal magnetic field condition for each case. This will enable creating a safe and efficient drug targeting using different types of MPs. In the present study, we aimed to find out any changes of transepithelial transport of polysaccharide-coated MPs by applying the continuous or the pulsatile magnetic field condition. Our results with heparin-functionalized MPs indicate that the particle concentrations and the external magnetic field could influence the transepithelial permeability of the particles. In the presence of a continuously applied magnetic density, heparin-MPs at high concentrations, by forming magnetically-induced aggregation of particles over the cell surface layer, showed a lower cellular transport than those at low concentrations. Furthermore, the results from the quantitative chemical assays and imaging analyses showed that transepithelial transport of heparin-MPs (negatively charged) under the pulsatile magnetic field was higher than that under the continuous magnetic field (CP), whereas the starch-MPs (neutrally charged) showed a small difference in transepithelial transport or cell retention between pulsatile vs. continuous magnetic field conditions. Taken together, our results suggest that the external magnetic field should be differentially applied to control the cellular drug transport depending on the physicochemical properties of the surface chemistry of magnetic particles.

Abstract
Magnetic drug targeting is a method by which magnetic drug carriers in the body are manipulated by external magnetic fields to reach the target area. This method is potentially promising in applications for treatment of diseases like cancers, nervous system diseases, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and so on, due to the advantages in that it can improve efficacy, reduce drug dosage and side effects. Therefore, it has received extensive attention in recent years. Successful magnetic drug targeting requires a good magnet system to guide the drug carriers to the target site. Up to date there have been many efforts to design the magnet systems for targeted drug delivery. However, there are few comprehensive reviews on these systems. Here we review the progresses made in this field. We summarized the systems already developed or proposed, and categorized them into two groups: static field magnet systems and varying field magnet systems. Based on the requirements for more powerful targeting performance, the prospects and the future research directions in this field are anticipated.

Abstract
In combining the two clinically approved substances ferumoxytol and VEGF-165 via peptide coupling, we propose a straightforward approach to obtain a potentially ready-to-use theranostic contrast agent for specific cardiovascular diseases. Clinical and preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown that intravenously applied superparamagnetic ferumoxytol nanoparticles accumulate in acute ischemic myocardial tissue. On the other hand, growth factors such as VEGF-165 (vascular endothelial growth factor) play a major role during angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Promising clinical studies with systemic application of VEGF-165 have been performed in the past. However, following untargeted systemic application, the biological half-life of VEGF-165 was too short to develop its full effect. Therefore, we hypothesized that ferumoxytol particles functionalized with VEGF-165 will accumulate in ischemic myocardial regions and can be detected by MRI, while the prolonged retention of VEGF-165 due to ferumoxytol-coupling will help to prevent adverse tissue remodeling. In addition, strategies such as magnetic targeting can be used to enhance targeted local accumulation. As a precondition for further preclinical research, we confirmed the successful coupling between ferumoxytol and VEGF-165 in detail (TEM, XPS, and IR spectroscopy), characterized the functionalized ferumoxytol particles (DLS, TEM, and MRI) and performed in vitro tests that showed their superior effect on cell growth and survival.

Abstract
A new low-cost green electrochemical sensor based on nontoxic polyethylene glycol (PEG) and silver nanoparticles was used to improve the sensitivity of the carbon paste electrode for the investigation of olanzapine (OLZ) in dosage arrangements and in the existence of its coadministered drug fluoxetine and in the drug formulation. Scanning electron microscopy measurements were carried out to emphasize the morphology of the electrode surface. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were used to explore the diffusion and linearity behaviors of OLZ. Impedance spectroscopy measurements were determined to investigate the ac behavior of OLZ and then an ideal electrical circuit was modeled. A linear calibration was obtained from 1.0 × 10-8 to 1.25 × 10-4 M. The limit of detection was 1.5 × 10-9 M, whereas the limit of quantification was 5 × 10-9 M. The way has been wholly authenticated concerning linearity, precision, accuracy, reproducibility, sensitivity, and selectivity.
