Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has garnered considerable interest in biomedical engineering for its diverse applications. Yet, the synthesis of HAP integrated with functional natural organic components remains an area ripe for exploration. This study innovatively utilizes the versatile properties of tea polyphenol (TP) to synthesize HAP nanomaterials with superior crystallinity and distinct morphologies, notably rod-like structures, via a chemical deposition process in a nitrogen atmosphere. This method ensures an enhanced integration of TP, as confirmed by thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis and a variety of microscopy techniques, which also reveal the dependence of TP content and crystallinity on the synthesis method employed. The research significantly impacts the field by demonstrating how synthesis conditions can alter material properties. It leads the way in employing TP-modified nano-HAP particles for biomedical applications. The findings of this study are crucial as they open avenues for the future development of tailored HAP nanomaterials, aiming at specific medical applications and advancements in nanotechnology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been shown that tumor microenvironment (TME) hydroxyapatite (HAP) is typically associated with many malignancies and plays a role in tumor progression and growth. Additionally, acidosis in the TME has been reported to play a key role in selecting for a more aggressive tumor phenotype, drug resistance and desensitization to immunotherapy for many types of cancers. TME-HAP is an attractive target for tumor detection and treatment development since HAP is generally absent from normal soft tissue. We provide strong evidence that dissolution of hydroxyapatite (HAP) within the tumor microenvironment (TME-HAP) using a novel therapeutic can be used to kill cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo with minimal adverse effects. METHODS We developed an injectable cation exchange nano particulate sulfonated polystyrene solution (NSPS) that we engineered to dissolve TME-HAP, inducing localized acute alkalosis and inhibition of tumor growth and glucose metabolism. This was evaluated in cell culture using 4T1, MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer cells, MCF10 normal breast cells, and H292 lung cancer cells, and in vivo using orthotopic mouse models of cancer that contained detectable microenvironment HAP including breast (MMTV-Neu, 4T1, and MDA-MB-231), prostate (PC3) and colon (HCA7) cancer using 18 F-NaF for HAP and 18 F-FDG for glucose metabolism with PET imaging. On the other hand, H292 lung tumor cells that lacked detectable microenvironment HAP and MCF10a normal breast cells that do not produce HAP served as negative controls. Tumor microenvironment pH levels following injection of NSPS were evaluated via Chemical Exchange Saturation (CEST) MRI and via ex vivo methods. RESULTS Within 24 h of adding the small concentration of 1X of NSPS (~7 μM), we observed significant tumor cell death (~ 10%, p < 0.05) in 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 cell cultures that contain HAP but ⟨2% in H292 and MCF10a cells that lack detectable HAP and in controls. Using CEST MRI, we found extracellular pH (pHe) in the 4T1 breast tumors, located in the mammary fat pad, to increase by nearly 10% from baseline before gradually receding back to baseline during the first hour post NSPS administration. in the tumors that contained TME-HAP in mouse models, MMTV-Neu, 4T1, and MDA-MB-231, PC3, and HCA7, there was a significant reduction (p<0.05) in 18 F-Na Fuptake post NSPS treatment as expected; 18 F- uptake in the tumor = 3.8 ± 0.5 %ID/g (percent of the injected dose per gram) at baseline compared to 1.8 ±0.5 %ID/g following one-time treatment with 100 mg/kg NSPS. Of similar importance, is that 18 F-FDG uptake in the tumors was reduced by more than 75% compared to baseline within 24 h of treatment with one-time NSPS which persisted for at least one week. Additionally, tumor growth was significantly slower (p < 0.05) in the mice treated with one-time NSPS. Toxicity showed no evidence of any adverse effects, a finding attributed to the absence of HAP in normal soft tissue and to our therapeutic NSPS having limited penetration to access HAP within skeletal bone. CONCLUSION Dissolution of TME-HAP using our novel NSPS has the potential to provide a new treatment paradigm to enhance the management of cancer patients with poor prognosis.

Abstract
Phenanthrene is a persistent organic pollutant released by numerous industries. The purpose of the study is to construct a batch reactor for phenanthrene degradation using a bimetallic (BM) ZnS-SnS nanoparticle as a photocatalyst. ZnS-SnS BM NPs were used as a photocatalyst, employed from precursors Zinc acetate dihydrate and tin (II) chloride dihydrate, with crystalline cubic-shaped particle sizes. ZnS-SnS BM NPs were utilized in batch adsorption assays to assess the impact of phenanthrene degradation parameters on various PAHs (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) concentrations, pH levels, and irradiation sources. Adsorption kinetic and isotherm tests revealed that the pseudo-first order kinetic model, pseudo-second order kinetic model, and Langmuir isotherm model all fit effectively with the effective phenanthrene degradation using ZnS-SnS BM NPs. The degraded product were analyzed for GC-MS, revealing that organic pollutant phenanthrene was converted into harmless by-products like n-hexadecenoic acid, oleic acid, and octadecanoic acid. The toxicity of phenanthrene was observed to decrease with an increase in ZnS-SnS BM NPs concentration. ZnS-SnS BM NP concentration of 150 μg/mL, the zone of inhibition values was recorded highest zone of inhibition (19 ± 1.2 mm) against the strains S. epidermis followed by B. cereus and Clostridium spp. Further adult zebrafish were found to be less toxic to ZnS-SnS BM NPs after 96 h of exposure, with an LD50 of 100 μg/L. The toxicity escalated as concentrations increased. Behavior test showed normal swimming, learning, and memory in open tank and T-maze tests, while 100 μg/L showed pausing/frozen time in zebra fish therefore low doses are considered safe. Hence by employing ZnS-SnS BM NPs can be engaged in waste water treatment for PAH degradation.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) have attracted great attention due to their extensive applications, which warranted their environmental concerns. Although recent advances have proposed the relevance of Fe3O4 NPs to cardiovascular disease, the intrinsic mechanisms underlying the effects of NPs remain indistinct. ApoE-/- mice were chosen as a long-term exposure model to explore the immanent association between respiratory exposure to Fe3O4 NPs and the development of cardiovascular diseases. Pulmonary exposure to 20 nm and 200 nm Fe3O4 NPS resulted in significant lung injury, and pulmonary histopathological examination displayed inflammatory cell infiltration, septal thickening and alveolar congestion. Intriguingly, liver iron deposition and variations in the hepatic lipid homeostasis were found in Fe3O4 NPs-exposed mice, eventually leading to dyslipidemia, hinting the potential cardiovascular toxicity of Fe3O4 NPs. In addition, we not only found that Fe3O4 NPs exposure increased aortic plaque area, but also increased M1 macrophages in the plaque, which yielding plaque vulnerability in ApoE-/- mice Of note, 20 nm Fe3O4 NPs showed enhanced capability on the progression of atherosclerosis than 200 nm Fe3O4 NPs. This study may propose the potential mechanism for adverse cardiovascular disease induced by Fe3O4 NPs and provide convincing evidence for the safety evaluation of Fe3O4 NPs.

Abstract
Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) is often used as a crystal nest to induce calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stone formation, but the mechanism of interaction between HAP crystals of different properties and renal tubular epithelial cells remains unclear. In this study, the adhesion and endocytosis of HAP crystals with sizes of 40 nm, 70 nm, 1 μm, and 2 μm (HAP-40 nm, HAP-70 nm, HAP-1 μm, and HAP-2 μm, respectively) to human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were comparatively studied. The results showed that HAP crystals of all sizes promoted the expression of osteopontin and hyaluronic acid on the cell surface, destroyed the integrity of the lysosomes, and induced the apoptosis and necrosis of cells. Nano-HAP crystals had a higher specific surface area, a smaller contact angle, a higher surface energy, and a lower Zeta potential than those of micro-HAP. Therefore, the abilities of HK-2 cells to adhere to and endocytose nano-HAP crystals were greater than their abilities to do the same for micro-HAP crystals. The order of the endocytosed crystals was as follows: HAP-40 nm > HAP-70 nm > HAP-1 μm > HAP-2 μm. The endocytosed HAP crystals entered the lysosomes. The more crystal endocytosis and adhesion there is, the more toxic it is to HK-2 cells. The results of this study showed that nanosized HAP crystals greatly promoted the formation of kidney stones than micrometer-sized HAP crystals.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAPNs) have been reported to specifically induce apoptosis and sustained elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in cancer cells. However, it remains unclear whether calcium overload, the abnormal intracellular accumulation of Ca2+, is the intrinsic cause of cell apoptosis, how HAPNs specifically evoke calcium overload in cancer cells, and which potential pathways were involved in apoptosis initiation in response to calcium overload. In this study, using various cancer and normal cells, we observed a positive correlation between the degree of increased [Ca2+]i and the specific toxicity of HAPNs. Moreover, chelating intracellular Ca2+ with BAPTA-AM inhibited HAPN-induced calcium overload and apoptosis, thus demonstrating that calcium overload was the main cause of HAPN-induced cytotoxicity in cancer cells. Notably, the dissolution of particles outside the cells did not affect cell viability or [Ca2+]i. In contrast, internalized HAPNs dissolved more readily in cancer cells than in normal cells and inhibited the activity of plasma membrane calcium-ATPase solely in cancer cells to prevent extrusion of excessive Ca2+, hence leading to calcium overload in tumor cells. Upon exposure to HAPNs, the Ca2+-sensitive cysteine protease calpain was activated and then cleaved the BH3-only protein Bid. Consequently, cytochrome c was released, and caspase-9 and -3 were activated, leading to mitochondrial apoptosis. However, these effects were alleviated by the calpain inhibitor calpeptin, confirming the involvement of calpain in HANP-induced apoptosis. Therefore, our results demonstrated that calcium overload induced by HAPNs caused cancer cell-specific apoptosis by inhibiting PMCA and activating calpain in tumor cells and thus may contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of biological effects of this nanomaterial and facilitate the development of calcium overload cancer therapy.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite-gelatin microspheres with cone-like pores were synthesized via the wet-chemical method using ammonium dihydrogen phosphate ((NH4)H2PO4) and calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O) as a source of calcium and phosphate ions with the addition of gelatin, which proved to be more osteoconductive than commercial products, such as fibrin glue and Osteoset® Bone Graft Substitute. Following the method of the previous study for loading paclitaxel (PTX), a drug entrapment efficiency of around 58% was achieved, which is much lower than that of the doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded one. Since PTX is hydrophobic while DOX is hydrophilic, the order of chitosan processing and addition of the solvent were tuned in this study, finally leading to an increase in drug entrapment efficiency of 94%. Additionally, the release duration of PTX exceeded six months. The MTT assay indicated that the effect of drug release on the suppression of cancer cells reached more than 40% after one week, thereby showcasing PTX's capacity to carry out its medicinal functions without being affected by the loading procedures.

Abstract
While most nanomaterials are designed to assist tumor therapy, some inorganic nanoparticles have been reported to impede cancer development. We assume that the immune response elicited by these foreign nanoparticles might be associated with the remodeling of immune landscape in the tumor microenvironment (TME). We studied representative inorganic nanoparticles widely used in the biomedical field and first demonstrated that needle-shaped hydroxyapatite (n-nHA), granule-shaped hydroxyapatite, and silicon dioxide can effectively impair tumor progression in vivo. Substantial multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) were formed around these antitumor nanoparticles, while the ratio of monocytes and macrophages was decreased in the TME. We found that high expression of the STXBP6 protein induced by n-nHA-treated macrophages triggers autophagy, which markedly promotes macrophage fusion into MNGCs. In this way, extensive depletion of tumor-associated macrophages in the TME was achieved, which suppressed tumor growth and metastasis. This intrinsic antitumor immunity of inorganic nanoparticles should not be neglected when designing future nanomedicines to treat cancer.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the biological response induced by hydroxyapatite (HAp) and zinc-doped HAp (ZnHAp) in human gingival fibroblasts and to explore their antimicrobial activity. The ZnHAp (with xZn = 0.00 and 0.07) powders, synthesized by the sol-gel method, retained the crystallographic structure of pure HA without any modification. Elemental mapping confirmed the uniform dispersion of zinc ions in the HAp lattice. The size of crystallites was 18.67 ± 2 nm for ZnHAp and 21.54 ± 1 nm for HAp. The average particle size was 19.38 ± 1 nm for ZnHAp and 22.47 ± 1 nm for HAp. Antimicrobial studies indicated an inhibition of bacterial adherence to the inert substrate. In vitro biocompatibility was tested on various doses of HAp and ZnHAp after 24 and 72 h of exposure and revealed that cell viability decreased after 72 h starting with a dose of 31.25 µg/mL. However, cells retained membrane integrity and no inflammatory response was induced. High doses (such as 125 µg/mL) affected cell adhesion and the architecture of F-actin filaments, while in the presence of lower doses (such as 15.625 µg/mL), no modifications were observed. Cell proliferation was inhibited after treatment with HAp and ZnHAp, except the dose of 15.625 µg/mL ZnHAp at 72 h of exposure, when a slight increase was observed, proving an improvement in ZnHAp activity due to Zn doping.

Abstract
This study reports an impact of structure (XRPD, FT-IR) and surface morphology (SEM-EDS) of imatinib-functionalized galactose hydrogels, loaded and unloaded with nHAp, on osteosarcoma cell (Saos-2 and U-2OS) viability, levels of free oxygen radicals, and nitric oxide, levels of BCL-2, p53, and caspase 3 and 9, as well as glycoprotein-P activity. It was investigated how the rough surface of the crystalline hydroxyapatite-modified hydrogel affected amorphous imatinib (IM) release. The imatinib drug effect on cell cultures has been demonstrated in different forms of administration-directly to the culture or the hydrogels. Administration of IM and hydrogel composites could be expected to reduce the risk of multidrug resistance development by inhibiting Pgp.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores have attracted great attention due to their excellent optical and photothermal properties. Among them, a bone-targeted NIR fluorophore (named P800SO3) contains two phosphonate groups, which play important roles in binding with hydroxyapatite (HAP) as the main mineral component of bones. In this study, biocompatible and NIR fluorescent HAP nanoparticles functionalized with P800SO3 and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were readily prepared for tumor-targeted imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT). The PEGylated HAP nanoparticle (HAP800-PEG) demonstrated improved tumor targetability with high tumor-to-background ratios (TBR). Moreover, the HAP800-PEG also showed excellent photothermal properties, and the temperature of tumor tissue reached 52.3 °C under NIR laser irradiation, which could completely ablate the tumor tissue without recurrence. Therefore, this new type of HAP nanoparticle has great potential as a biocompatible and effective phototheranostic material, which enables the use of P800SO3 for targeted photothermal cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are present in many daily life products with particular physical-chemical properties (size, density, porosity, geometry …) giving very interesting technological properties. Their use is continuously growing and NPs represent a new challenge in terms of risk assessment, consumers being multi-exposed. Toxic effects have already been identified such as oxidative stress, genotoxicity, inflammatory effects, and immune reactions, some of which are leading to carcinogenesis. Cancer is a complex phenomenon implying multiple modes of action and key events, and prevention strategies in cancer include a proper assessment of the properties of NPs. Therefore, introduction of new agents like NPs into the market creates fresh regulatory challenges for an adequate safety evaluation and requires new tools. The Cell Transformation Assay (CTA) is an in vitro test able of highlighting key events of characteristic phases in the cancer process, initiation and promotion. This review presents the development of this test and its use with NPs. The article underlines also the critical issues to address for assessing NPs carcinogenic properties and approaches for improving its relevance.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors can inflict significant damage to affected bones, leaving patients to contend with issues like residual tumor cells, bone defects, and bacterial infections post-surgery. However, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAp), the principal inorganic constituent of natural bone, possess numerous advantages such as high biocompatibility, bone conduction ability, and a large surface area. Moreover, nHAp's nanoscale particle size enables it to impede the growth of various tumor cells via diverse pathways. This article presents a comprehensive review of relevant literature spanning the past 2 decades concerning nHAp and bone tumors. The primary goal is to explore the mechanisms responsible for nHAp's ability to hinder tumor initiation and progression, as well as to investigate the potential of integrating other drugs and components for bone tumor diagnosis and treatment. Lastly, the article discusses future prospects for the development of hydroxyapatite materials as a promising modality for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Although checkpoint-inhibitor immunotherapy held tremendous advances, improving immune response during treatment has always been an urgent clinical issue. With the help of mRNA microarray technology, it was found that short rod-like nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) promoted the upregulation of CD274 and PD-L1 related gene transcription, which was confirmed by the significantly enhanced PD-L1 expression level in B16, B16F10, and 4T1 cells in vitro. Hence, an injectable in situ responsive hydrogel reservoir embed with nHA and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor was engineered for a combination immunotherapy by peritumoral administration. The results confirmed that the combinational strategy effectively suppressed tumorigenesis and tumor growth, recovered the abnormal lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate transaminase, and alanine aminotransferase indicators, and significantly elongated the life span of a tumor-bearing mouse. The substantive progress mainly derived from nHA-induced T cell infiltration reinforcement in a tumor site and CD8+ T cell polarization in spleen, implying that nHA might function as an immunomodulator for melanoma immunotherapy.

Abstract
Developments in the nanotechnology area occur ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, not only in terms of safety requirements, but also to meet sustainability goals. Hence, safer and sustainable-by-design (SSbD) materials are also aimed for during developmental process. Similar to with any new materials their safety must be assessed. Nanobiomaterials can offer large advantages in the biomedical field, in areas such as tissue repair and regeneration, cancer therapy, etc. For example, although hydroxyapatite-based nanomaterials (nHA) are among the most studied biomaterials, its ecotoxicological effects are mostly unknown. In the present study we investigated the toxicity of seven nHA-based materials, covering both different biomedical applications, e.g., iron-doped hydroxyapatite designed for theragnostic applications), hybrid collagen/hydroxyapatite composites, designed for bone tissue regeneration, and SSbD alternative materials such as titanium-doped hydroxyapatite/alginate composite, designed as sunscreen. The effects were assessed using the soil model Enchytraeus crypticus (Oligochaeta) in the natural standard LUFA 2.2 soil. The assessed endpoints included the 2, 3 and 4 days avoidance behavior (short-term), 28 days survival, size and reproduction (long term based on the OECD standard reproduction test), and 56 days survival and reproduction (longer-term OECD extension). Although overall results showed little to no toxicity among the tested nHA, there was a significant decrease in animals' size for Ti-containing nHA. Moreover, there was a tendency for higher toxicity at the lowest concentrations (i.e., 100 mg/kg). This requires further investigation to ensure safety.

Abstract
Total hip replacement (THR) is a common orthopedic surgery technique that helps thousands of individuals to live normal lives each year. A hip replacement replaces the shattered cartilage and bone with an implant. Most hip implants fail after 10–15 years. The material selection for the total hip implant systems is a major research field since it affects the mechanical and clinical performance of it. Stress shielding due to excessive contact stress, implant dislocation due to a large deformation, aseptic implant loosening due to the particle propagation of wear debris, decreased bone remodeling density due to the stress shielding, and adverse tissue responses due to material wear debris all contribute to the failure of hip implants. Recent research shows that pre-clinical computational finite element analysis (FEA) can be used to estimate four mechanical performance parameters of hip implants which are connected with distinct biomaterials: von Mises stress and deformation, micromotion, wear estimates, and implant fatigue. In vitro, in vivo, and clinical stages are utilized to determine the hip implant biocompatibility and the unfavorable local tissue reactions to different biomaterials during the implementation phase. This research summarizes and analyses the performance of the different biomaterials that are employed in total hip implant systems in the pre-clinical stage using FEA, as well as their performances in in vitro, in vivo, and in clinical studies, which will help researchers in gaining a better understanding of the prospects and challenges in this field.

Abstract
Great advances in cancer treatment have been undertaken in the last years as a consequence of the development of new antitumoral drugs able to target cancer cells with decreasing side effects and a better understanding of the behavior of neoplastic cells during invasion and metastasis. Specifically, drug delivery systems (DDS) based on the use of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp NPs) are gaining attention and merit a comprehensive review focused on their potential applications. These are derived from the intrinsic properties of HAp (e.g., biocompatibility and biodegradability), together with the easy functionalization and easy control of porosity, crystallinity and morphology of HAp NPs. The capacity to tailor the properties of DLS based on HAp NPs has well-recognized advantages for the control of both drug loading and release. Furthermore, the functionalization of NPs allows a targeted uptake in tumoral cells while their rapid elimination by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) can be avoided. Advances in HAp NPs involve not only their use as drug nanocarriers but also their employment as nanosystems for magnetic hyperthermia therapy, gene delivery systems, adjuvants for cancer immunotherapy and nanoparticles for cell imaging.

Abstract
Background In recent years, using hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) for tumor therapy attracted increasing attention because HANPs were found to selectively suppress the growth of tumor cells but exhibit ignorable toxicity to normal cells. Purpose This study aimed to investigate the capacities of HANPs with different morphologies and particle sizes against two kinds of osteosarcoma (OS) cells, human OS 143B cells and rat OS UMR106 cells. Methods Six kinds of HANPs with different morphologies and particle sizes were prepared by wet chemical method. Then, the antitumor effect of these nanoparticles was characterized by means of in vitro cell experiments and in vivo tumor-bearing mice model. The underlying antitumor mechanism involving mitochondrial apoptosis was also investigated by analysis of intracellular calcium, expression of apoptosis-related genes, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the endocytosis efficiency of the particles in tumor cells. Results Both in vitro cell experiments and in vivo mice model evaluation revealed the anti-OS performance of HANPs depended on the concentration, morphology, and particle size of the nanoparticles, as well as the OS cell lines. Among the six HANPs, rod-like HANPs (R-HANPs) showed the best inhibitory activity on 143B cells, while needle-like HANPs (N-HANPs) inhibited the growth of UMR106 cells most efficiently. We further demonstrated that HANPs induced mitochondrial apoptosis by selectively raising intracellular Ca2+ and the gene expression levels of mitochondrial apoptosis-related molecules, and depolarizing mitochondrial membrane potential in tumor cells but not in MC3T3-E1, a mouse pre-osteoblast line. Additionally, the anti-OS activity of HANPs also linked with the endocytosis efficiency of the particles in the tumor cells, and their ability to drive oxidative damage and immunogenic cell death (ICD). Conclusion The current study provides an effective strategy for OS therapy where the effectiveness was associated with the particle morphology and cell line.

Abstract
Beyond their well-known applications in bone tissue engineering, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp NPs) have also been showing great promise for improved cancer therapy. The chemical structure of HAp NPs offers excellent possibilities for loading and delivering a broad range of anticancer drugs in a sustained, prolonged, and targeted manner and thus eliciting lower complications than conventional chemotherapeutic strategies. The incorporation of specific therapeutic elements into the basic composition of HAp NPs is another approach, alone or synergistically with drug release, to provide advanced anticancer effects such as the capability to inhibit the growth and metastasis of cancer cells through activating specific cell signaling pathways. HAp NPs can be easily converted to smart anticancer agents by applying different surface modification treatments to facilitate the targeting and killing of cancer cells without significant adverse effects on normal healthy cells. The applications in cancer diagnosis for magnetic and nuclear in vivo imaging are also promising as the detection of solid tumor cells is now achievable by utilizing superparamagnetic HAp NPs. The ongoing research emphasizes the use of HAp NPs in fabricating three-dimensional scaffolds for the treatment of cancerous tissues or organs, promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue after cancer detection and removal. This review provides a summary of HAp NP applications in cancer theranostics, highlighting the current limitations and the challenges ahead for this field to open new avenues for research.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by the electron transport chain (ETC) leakage and reduced adenosine tri-phosphate synthesis, occurs primarily due to free radicals -induced mutations in either the mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) or nuclear (n) DNA caused by pathogenic infections, toxicant exposures, adverse drug-effects, or other environmental exposures, leading to secondary dysfunction affecting ischemic, diabetic, cancerous, and degenerative diseases. In these concerns, mitochondria-targeted remedies may include a significant role in the protection and treatment of mitochondrial function to enhance its activity. Coenzyme Q10 pyridinol and pyrimidinol antioxidant analogues and other potent drug-compounds for their multifunctional radical quencher and other anti-toxic activities may take a significant therapeutic effectivity for ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, the encapsulation of these bioactive ligands-attached potent compounds in vesicular system may enable them a superb biological effective for the treatment of mitochondria-targeted dysfunction-related diseases with least side effects. This review depicts mainly on mitochondrial enzymatic dysfunction and their amelioration by potent drugs with the usages of nanoparticulated delivery system against mitochondria-affected diseases.

Abstract
Ca2+ overload has attracted an increasing attention due to its benefit of precise cancer therapy, but its efficacy is limited by the strong Ca2+ excretion of cancer cells. Moreover, monotherapy of Ca2+ overload usually fails to treat tumors satisfactorily. Herein, we develop a multifunctional nanosystem that could induce Ca2+ overload by multipathway and simultaneously produce chemotherapy for synergistic tumor therapy. The nanosystem (CaMSN@CUR) is prepared by synthesizing a Ca-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticle (CaMSN) followed by loading the anticancer drug curcumin (CUR). CaMSN serves as the basis Ca2+ generator to induce Ca2+ overload directly in the intracellular environment by acid-triggered Ca2+ release, while CUR could not only exhibit chemotherapy but also facilitate Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasm and inhibit Ca2+ efflux out of cells to further enhance Ca2+ overload. The in vitro and in vivo results show that CaMSN@CUR could exhibit a remarkable cytotoxicity against 4T1 cells and significantly inhibit tumor growth in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice via the synergy of Ca2+ overload and CUR-mediated chemotherapy. It is expected that the designed CaMSN@CUR has a great potential for effective tumor therapy.

Abstract
Herein, the effects of hydroalcoholic extracts of Thymus daenensis Celak (TDC) and Stachys pilifera Benth (SPB) plants on HepG2 cell line were investigated by using different analyses. Cytotoxicity and apoptosis of extracts were investigated by MTT method, AnnV/PI apoptosis assay, and their antioxidant capacity was evaluated by total thiol and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) assay. The results revealed that the SBP extract was more cytotoxic compared with the TDC extract and increased over time (128.49 µg/mL vs 107.11 µg/mL IC50 values for 24 and 72 h, respectively). Although, AnnV/PI apoptosis assay showed apoptosis induction for both extracts, but the caspase-3 activity assay revealed that TDC extract significantly increased caspase-3 activity compared with the control and SPB extract. Increasing the activity of GPX by SPB extract revealed that it has high antioxidant capacity. In conclusion, the TDC and SPB with high antioxidant capacity have high cytotoxicity against HepG2 cancer cells and have high capability as a medicinal plant.

Abstract
Surgery is the principal strategy to treat osteosarcoma and other types of bone tumors, but it causes bone defects that cannot be healed spontaneously. After surgery, patients still need to receive radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis, which leads to systemic side effects. Bone scaffolds exhibit the potentials to load cargos (drugs or growth factors) and act as drug delivery systems (DDSs) in the osteosarcoma postoperative treatment. This review introduces current types of bone scaffolds and highlights representative works using scaffolds as DDSs to treat osteosarcomas. Challenges and perspectives in the scaffold-based DDSs are also discussed. This review may provide references to develop effective and safe strategies for osteosarcoma postoperative treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) strategies exhibit a high tissue penetration depth and can achieve therapeutic efficacy by facilitating the intertumoral release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with a short lifespan and limited diffusion capabilities. The majority of SDT systems developed to date are of the highly O2-dependent type II variety, limiting their therapeutic utility in pancreatic cancer and other hypoxic solid tumor types. RESULTS Herein, a nucleus-targeted ultra-small Ti-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) metal-organic framework (MOF) platform was synthesized and shown to be an effective mediator of SDT. This MOF was capable of generating large quantities of ROS in an oxygen-independent manner in response to low-intensity ultrasound (US) irradiation (0.5 W cm-2), thereby facilitating both type I and type II SDT. This approach thus holds great promise for the treatment of highly hypoxic orthotopic pancreatic carcinoma solid tumors. This Ti-TCPP MOF was able to induce in vitro cellular apoptosis by directly destroying DNA and inducing S phase cell cycle arrest following US irradiation. The prolonged circulation, high intratumoral accumulation, and nucleus-targeting attributes of these MOF preparations significantly also served to significantly inhibit orthotopic pancreatic tumor growth and prolong the survival of tumor-bearing mice following Ti-TCPP + US treatment. Moreover, this Ti-TCPP MOF was almost completely cleared from mice within 7 days of treatment, and no apparent treatment-associated toxicity was observed. CONCLUSION The nucleus-targeted ultra-small Ti-TCPP MOF developed herein represents an effective approach to the enhanced SDT treatment of tumors in response to low-intensity US irradiation.

Abstract
The development of hydrogels for maxillofacial bone regeneration holds vast potential. However, some challenges need to be addressed to further their application in clinical settings. One challenge is optimizing cell viability. To improve mechanical strength, various materials have been investigated; however, incorporation of these materials within the hydrogel network may affect cell viability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cell viability of novel gelatin-alginate composite hydrogels loaded with hydroxyapatite (HA) and nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) for maxillofacial bone regeneration. Nine different hydrogels were prepared: three loaded with 0.5%, 1%, and 3% w/v HA; three loaded with 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1% w/v n-HA; one not loaded as a control and two HA and n-HA hydrogels with a lower concentration of the EDC crosslinker. Cell viability of human osteoblasts exposed to the hydrogels as affected by the HA type, size, and concentration, as well as to the crosslinker concentration, was investigated. An Alamar Blue assay was used to evaluate cell viability in the presence of hydrogel extracts and in aqueous solutions (without the hydrogel). A qualitative model was developed for explaining cell viability and growth. Higher percentages of cell viability were observed in the hydrogels loaded with hydroxyapatite as compared with the control. The effect of HA-related parameters, i.e., particle size and concentration, was found to increase the cytotoxic effect, as expressed in lower cell viability. The most favorable composites were the n-HA hydrogels. The incorporation of n-HA in the hydrogel to form a composite seems to be a very promising approach for maxillofacial bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Li+/Eu3+ dual-doped calcium apatite analogues were fabricated using a microwave stimulated hydrothermal technique. XRPD, FT-IR, micro-Raman spectroscopy, TEM and SAED measurements indicated that obtained apatites are single-phased, crystallize with a hexagonal structure, have similar morphology and nanometric size as well as show red luminescence. Lithium effectively modifies the local symmetry of optical active sites and, thus, affects the emission efficiency. Moreover, the hydrodynamic size and surface charge of the nanoparticles have been extensively studied. The protein adsorption (lysozyme, LSZ; bovine serum albumin, BSA) on the nanoparticle surface depended on the type of cationic dopant (Li+, Eu3+) and anionic group (OH−, Cl−, F−) of the apatite matrix. Interaction with LSZ resulted in a positive zeta potential, and the nanoparticles had the lowest hydrodynamic size in this protein medium. The cytotoxicity assessment was carried out on the human osteosarcoma cell line (U2OS), murine macrophages (J774.E), as well as human red blood cells (RBCs). The studied apatites were not cytotoxic to RBCs and J774.E cells; however, at higher concentrations of nanoparticles, cytotoxicity was observed against the U2OS cell line. No antimicrobial activity was detected against Gram-negative bacteria with one exception for P. aeruginosa treated with Li+-doped fluorapatite.

Abstract
Nanoscale hydroxyapatite (nHA) is considered as a promising drug carrier or therapeutic agent against malignant tumors. But the strong agglomeration tendency and lack of active groups seriously hamper their usage in vivo. To address these issues, we fabricated an organic-inorganic hybrid nanosystem composed of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), nHA, and indocyanine green (ICG), and further modified with glucose to give a targeting nanosystem (GA@HAP/ICG-NPs). These hybrid nanoparticles (∼90 nm) showed excellent storage and physiological stability assisted by PAA and had a sustained drug release in an acidic tumor environment. In vitro cell experiments confirmed that glucose-attached particles significantly promoted cellular uptake and increased intracellular ICG and Ca2+ concentrations by glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1)-mediated endocytosis. Subsequently, the excessive Ca2+ induced cell or organelle damage and ICG triggered photothermal and photodynamic effects (PTT/PDT) under laser irradiation, resulting in enhanced cell toxicity and apoptosis. In vivo tests revealed that the hybrid nanosystem possessed good hemocompatibility and biosafety, facilitating in vivo circulation and usage. NIR imaging further showed that tumor tissues had more drug accumulation, resulting in the highest tumor growth inhibition (87.89%). Overall, the glucose-targeted hybrid nanosystem was an effective platform for collaborative therapy and expected to be further used in clinical trials.

Abstract
The continuous development of poultry production related to the growing demand for eggs and chicken meat makes it necessary to use modern technologies. An answer to this demand may be the use of nanotechnology in poultry farming. One of the promising nanomaterials in this field are silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are used as disinfectants, reducing microbial pollution and the amounts of greenhouse gases released. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of AgNPs on the proliferation and apoptosis process in the granulosa cells of chicken preovulatory follicles. The in vitro culture experiment revealed that both 13 nm and 50 nm AgNPs inhibited the proliferation of the granulosa cells. However, a faster action was observed in 50 nm AgNPs than in 13 nm ones. A size-dependent effect of AgNP was also demonstrated for the caspase-3 activity. AgNPs 13 nm in size increased the caspase-3 activity in granulosa cells, while 50 nm AgNPs did not exert an effect, which may indicate the induction of distinct cell death pathways by AgNPs. In conclusion, our study reveals that AgNPs in vitro inhibit granulosa cell proliferation and stimulate their apoptosis. These results suggest that AgNPs may disrupt the final stage of preovulatory follicle maturation and ovulation.

Abstract
The development of clinically advanced multifaceted therapeutic materials for osteosarcoma is at the forefront of cancer research. Accordingly, this work presents the design of a multifunctional magnetic nanocomposite composed of maghemite, strontium doped hydroxyapatite and silica nanoparticles prospectively holding indispensable therapeutic features such as magnetic hyperthermia,in vitrobiomineralization, sustained drug release and intrinsic radiopacity for the treatment of osteosarcoma. The optimal composition has been identified by sequentially modulating the ratio of precursors of the magnetic nanocomposite synthesized by sol-gel technique. Structural and morphological characterization by x-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectrum, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller and transmission electron microscopy analyses followed by VSM, hyperthermia and micro-CT analyses essentially assisted in the selective configuration of biofunctional properties. Results exemplify that MSHSr1 has a saturation magnetization of 47.4 emu g-1and attained hyperthermia temperature (42 °C) at a very low exposure time of 4 min. MSHSr1 is further unique with respect to its exceptional x-ray attenuation ability (contrast enhancement 154.5% in digital radiography; CT number 3100 HU), early biomimetic mineralization (in vitro) evident by the formation of spheroidal apatite layer (Ca/P ratio 1.33) harvested from FESEM-EDX analysis and controlled release of Doxorubicin, the clinically used chemotherapeutic drug: 87.7% at 120 h in tumour analogous pH (6.5) when compared to physiological pH (71.3% at 7.4). MTT assay complemented with cytoskeleton (F-actin) staining of human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells affirm biocompatibility of MSHSr1.In vitrobiomineralization authenticated by Alizarin red S and von Kossa staining has been further corroborated by semi-quantitative calcium estimation of HOS cells cultured with MSHSr1 for two weeks. The results therefore validate the multifunctionality of MSHSr1, and hence could be proposed as a combinatorial therapeutic nanocomposite for osteosarcoma treatment.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the biggest obstacles in cancer chemotherapy. Here, a remarkable reversal of MDR in breast cancer through the synergistic effects of bioactive hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAPNs) and doxorubicin (DOX) is shown. DOX loaded HAPNs (DHAPNs) exhibit a 150-fold reduction in IC50 compared with free DOX for human MDR breast cancer MCF-7/ADR cells, and lead to almost complete inhibition of tumor growth in vivo without obvious side effects of free DOX. This high efficacy and specificity could be attributed to multiple action mechanisms of HAPNs. In addition to acting as the conventional nanocarriers to facilitate the cellular uptake and retention of DOX in MCF-7/ADR cells, more importantly, drug-free HAPNs themselves are able to prevent drug being pumped out of MDR cells through targeting mitochondria to induce mitochondrial damage and inhibit ATP production and to trigger sustained mitochondrial calcium overload and apoptosis in MDR cancer cells while not affecting normal cells. The results demonstrate that this simple but versatile bioactive nanoparticle provides a practical approach to effectively overcome MDR.

Abstract
The rapid development of nanotechnology has provided new strategies for the treatment of tumors. Nano-scale hydroxyapatite (HAP), as the main component of hard tissues in humans and vertebrates, have been found to specifically inhibit tumor cells. However, achieving controllable synthesis of HAP and endowing it with cancer cell-targeting properties remain enormous challenges. To solve this problem, we developed polyacrylic acid-coordinated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP-PAA) and further chemically grafted them with folic acid (HAP-PAA-FA) for cancer treatment in this study. The nucleation sites and steric hindrance provided by the PAA greatly inhibited the agglomeration of the nanoparticles, and at the same time, the excess functional groups further modified the surface of nanoparticles to achieve targeting efficiency. The spherical, low-crystallinity HAP-PAA nanoparticles exhibited good tumor cell lethality. After grafting the nanoparticles with folic acid for molecular targeting, their cellular uptake and specific killing ability of tumor cells were further enhanced. The HAP-PAA-FA nanoparticle system exerted a regulatory effect on the tumor microenvironment and had good biological safety. All the above results indicate that this research will broaden the application of hydroxyapatite in tumor treatment.

Abstract
AIMS Memory impairment is determined to be the most well-known symptom of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although cell therapy seems is an efficient therapeutic strategy to attenuate the AD-related memory impairment, transplanted cells have a short lifespan and do not survive long term in the recipient animals. Herein, we investigated whether the combination therapy of Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and stem cells attenuates the neurotoxicity in an AD animal model. MATERIAL AND METHODS The adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) were transplanted in the AD model. In addition to cell injections, the animals also received oral administration of SeNPs (0.4 mg/kg) for one month. Recognition memory, cell survival, and BDNF concentration were assessed using the novel object recognition task, immunofluorescence, and ELISA methods. KEY FINDINGS Our results showed that the combined therapy was more effective in increasing the discrimination index than the administering SeNPs or AMSCs alone. Moreover, SeNPs and stem cells together had the greatest effects in reducing the deposition of Aβ and increasing the concentration of BDNF. Ultimately, the survival and proliferation of transplanted cells were more in the group that received stem cells besides SeNPs. SIGNIFICANCE Taken together, it seems that the transplantation of MSCs combined with SeNPs could achieve better results in the neuroprotection in the AD model than a conventional treatment of SeNPs or stem cells alone.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are widely used as pesticide carriers to enhance their effective utilization, since it can promote the solubility and absorption of pesticides by plants. For plants, the particle size of pesticides influences their absorption and efficacy. Herein, is our research work of the size effect of MSN on the loading, release, and delivery behavior of pyraoxystrobin (Pyr) in cucumber plants. The well-ordered Pyr-loaded carbon quantum dots-MSN (Pyr@M) with sizes of 15, 100, and 200 nm were prepared. A comparative study among different particle sizes of Pyr@M was carried out on the aspects of control release performance, loading content, uptake, and transportation performance in cucumber plants. It was found that the loading content increased as the particle size increased. The nanoparticles as carriers increased the solubility of insoluble Pyr, but the nanoparticle size had no clear difference impact on the release rate. The efficiency of the cellular uptake strongly depended on the particle size. The smaller the MSN size, the easier it was to be absorbed and transmitted by cucumber plants. Compared to the free Pyr, the upward transportation rate of Pyr from Pyr@M in plant increased by 3.5 times. These findings provide new theoretical basis to design the MSN pesticide delivery system.

Abstract
Using Nanoplatforms as a hauler for photosensitizers is a bespoke paradigm to improve its bioavailability and to boost the PDT efficacy. Herein, the photodynamic cytotoxicity of methylene blue (MB) loaded on hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA-NPs) was tested against human osteosarcoma-derived cells (Saos-2 cell line). HA-NPs and HA-NPs loaded with MB (HA-NPs-MB) were prepared by a chemical precipitation method and characterized by TEM, Zeta potential, FTIR, and XRD. TEM images revealed that HA-NPs have a rod shape with a diameter of 14-17 nm and length around 46-64 nm. FTIR and Zeta potential confirmed the adsorption of cationic MB on HA-NPs. XRD pattern was identical to the standard XRD pattern of HA-NPs. Incubation of Saos-2 cells (24 h) with HA-NPs-MB then irradiation of cells (5 min) with a diode laser (808 nm), causes a higher decrement of cell viability (determined by MTT assay) than that caused by free MB. The LC50 was 57.53 µg/mL and 86.99 µg/mL for HA-NPs-MB and free MB, respectively. Thus, the nanoformulation of MB greatly reduced the dose of MB required for effective PDT. This study also investigated the mode of cell death after incubation of cells with free MB or HA-NPs-MB composite then exposure to laser radiation. The results revealed that the majority of cells died by apoptosis while a minor fraction of cells died by necrosis, especially in the case of HA-NPs-MB. Levels of caspase-3 and death receptor-4 (DR-4) were more elevated in the case of HA-NPs-MB than free MB. The effect of the prepared nanocomposite and free MB on Raw murine macrophage (RAW 264.7) viability was also examined using the MTT assay. The results indicated that HA-NPs-MB in the presence of laser has a great cytotoxic effect on macrophage cells compared to other treatments. This may present an advantage through decreasing macrophage that promotes tumor growth. In conclusion, HA-NPs-MB nanocomposite surmounts free MB and HA-NPs in destroying macrophage cells and Saos-2 cells through apoptosis in the presence of laser irradiation. This study introduces a thorough and new insight on osteosarcoma (cancer cell line Saos-2) PDT using HA-NPs-MB exploiting the biosafety of HA-NPs.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based nanofibers from Tragacanth Gum (TG) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were post-treated with selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) and also stabilized with TG (SeNPs/TG). DLS, FE-SEM, EDX, TEM, and XRD were employed to verify the synthesis of Se NPs. The relatively narrow size distribution of SeNPs/TG showed through TEM and DLS investigations comparing with Se NPs. The Se NPs formation with and without TG was studied with FTIR confirmed the final stabilized solution due to the bonded hydroxyl groups of TG with Se NPs. Also, a relatively higher antioxidant reported on SeNPs/TG at 0.5-5 mg/mL using DPPH scavenging ability. The Se NPs and SeNPs/TG solutions specified remarkable inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans; however, no significant antibacterial activities observed on the treated nanofibers. Finally, the uniform migration of fibroblast cells in wound healing of the treated nanofibers with SeNPs/TG proved the value of the products in medical applications.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) are a particular example of innovative nanomaterials for the development of drug delivery systems. MSNPs have recently received more attention for biological and pharmaceutical applications due to their capability to deliver therapeutic agents. Due to their unique structure, they can function as an effective carrier for the delivery of therapeutic agents to mitigate diseases progress, reduce inflammatory responses and consequently improve cancer treatment. The potency of MSNPs for the diagnosis and management of various diseases has been studied. This literature review will take an in-depth look into the properties of various types of MSNPs (e.g. shape, particle and pore size, surface area, pore volume and surface functionalisation), and discuss their characteristics, in terms of cellular uptake, drug delivery and release. MSNPs will then be discussed in terms of their therapeutic applications (passive and active tumour targeting, theranostics, biosensing and immunostimulative), biocompatibility and safety issues. Also, emerging trends and expected future advancements of this carrier will be provided.

Abstract
Due to their simple crystal structures, one-dimensional hydroxyapatite (HA) nanostructures are easily to be applied to understand the fundamental concepts about the influences of HA dimensionality on physical, chemical, and biological properties. So, in this work, three typical HA one-dimensional nanostructures, HA nanotubes, HA nanowires, and HA nanospheres, were prepared, whose theoretical structures were built also. in vitro cytocompatibility test proved that, contrasting with TCPS, HA one-dimensional nanostructures had certain degree of cytotoxicity because HA nanostructures increase the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intracellular calcium. Theoretical simulation indicated that HA nanosphere has higher intracellular ROS generation and lower ROS storage amount than HA nanowire and HA nanotube, which were the possible reasons for its stronger cytotoxicity. Among these typical one-dimensional nanostructures, owing to higher drug storage amount and sustained delivery ability, HA nanotube was more potential application in orthopedics. The tubular structure of HA nanotubes could be used as reservoirs for small molecule drugs or growth factors. The cytocompatibility of HA nanostructures can be improved obviously when they were produced into two-dimensional structures. The prepared multilayer structure can simulate lamellar structures of Harvard system and enhance the cytocompatibility of Ti substrate. Therefore, the method used in this work is a prospective method to improve the inherently bio-inert of Ti when used in hard tissue repairing.

Abstract
Background Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a common component of most idiopathic calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones and is often used as a nidus to induce the formation of CaOx kidney stones. Methods This work comparatively studies the cytotoxicity of four kinds of HAP crystals with different sizes (40 nm to 2 μm), namely, HAP-40 nm, HAP-70 nm, HAP-1 μm, and HAP-2 μm, on human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2). Results HAP crystals reduce the viability and membrane integrity of HK-2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner and consequently cause cytoskeleton damage, cell swelling, increased intracellular reactive oxygen species level, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, increased intracellular calcium concentration, blocked cell cycle and stagnation in G0/G1 phase, and increased cell necrosis rate.

Abstract
The synthetic analogue to biogenic apatite, hydroxyapatite (HA) has a number of physicochemical properties that make it an attractive candidate for diagnosis, treatment of disease and augmentation of biological tissues. Here we describe some of the recent studies on HA, which may provide bases for a number of new medical applications. The content of this review is divided to different medical application modes utilizing HA, including tissue engineering, medical implants, controlled drug delivery, gene therapies, cancer therapies and bioimaging. A number of advantages of HA over other biomaterials emerge from this discourse, including (i) biocompatibility, (ii) bioactivity, (iii) relatively simple synthesis protocols for the fabrication of nanoparticles with specific sizes and shapes, (iv) smart response to environmental stimuli, (v) facile functionalization and surface modification through noncovalent interactions, and (vi) the capacity for being simultaneously loaded with a wide range of therapeutic agents and switched to bioimaging modalities for uses in theranostics. A special section is dedicated to analysis of the safety of particulate HA as a component of parenterally administrable medications. It is concluded that despite the fact that many benefits come with the usage of HA, its deficiencies and potential side effects must be addressed before the translation to the clinical domain is pursued. Although HA has been known in the biomaterials world as the exemplar of safety, this safety proves to be the function of size, morphology, surface ligands and other structural and compositional parameters defining the particles. For this reason, each HA, especially when it comes in a novel structural form, must be treated anew from the safety research angle before being allowed to enter the clinical stage.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) micro/nano particles show great promise as artificial bone and dental substitutes, or drug carrier systems. However, the precise regulation of hydroxyapatite micro/nano particles with controllable physicochemical properties (such as hierarchical structure, particle size, potential and crystallinity) is still a challenge. Furthermore, the effects of different hierarchical structures on biological responses have been rarely reported. Herein, the HA particles with a precisely tailored micro/nano hierarchical structure have been developed using an elaborate biomimetic synthesis technology. Three representative particles, namely, micro/nano needle-like HA particles, micro/nano rod-like HA particles, and micro/nano flake-like HA particles, were featured to evaluate their biological responses to stem cells. The pore structure facilitated the adsorption of serum adhesive proteins, which together with the unique hierarchical architecture of micro/nano flake-like HA particles remarkably promoted the endocytosis efficiency in a concentration-dependent manner. The qRT-PCR together with RNA-seq and western blot analyses showed that micro/nano flake-like HA particles more significantly up-regulated the expression of genes and production of proteins related to osteogenic differentiation among the three particles through the activated ERK/MAPK signalling pathway. RNA-seq further revealed a complex mechanism of cell interface events, suggesting that the hierarchical architecture of HA particles is of crucial importance for the regulation of actin cytoskeleton involved in the modulation of cell adhesion which positively stimulated osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. Moreover, the endocytosis of particles into lysosomes resulted in an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ levels, which activated possible intracellular Ca2+-mediated signaling cascades (Ras/cAMP/Rap1/MAPK signaling pathways) related to osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. Our findings shed light on the effects of different hierarchical structures of HA particles on stem cell differentiation and contribute to the optimal design of implant materials.

Abstract
Biomedical applications increasingly require fully characterized new nanomaterials. There is strong evidence showing that nanomaterials not only interact with cells passively but also actively, mediating essential molecular processes for the regulation of cellular functions, but we are only starting to understand the mechanisms of those interactions. Systematic studies about cell behavior as a response to specific nanoparticle properties are scarce in the literature even when they are necessary for the rational design of medical nanodevices. Information in the literature shows that the physicochemical properties determine the bioactivity, biocompatibility, and safety of nanomaterials. The information available regarding the interaction and responses of cells to nanomaterials has not been analyzed and discussed in a single document. Hence, in this review, we present the latest advances about cellular responses to nanomaterials and integrate the available information into concrete considerations for the development of innovative, efficient, specific and, more importantly, safe biomedical nanodevices. We focus on how physicochemical nanoparticle properties (size, chemical surface, shape, charge, and topography) influence cell behavior in a first attempt to provide a practical guide for designing medical nanodevices, avoiding common experimental omissions that may lead to data misinterpretation. Finally, we emphasize the importance of the systematic study of nano-bio interactions to acquire sufficient reproducible information that allows accurate control of cell behavior based on tuning of nanomaterial properties. This information is useful to guide the design of specific nanodevices and nanomaterials to elicit desired cell responses, like targeting, drug delivery, cell attachment, differentiation, etc, or to avoid undesired side effects.

Abstract
The excessive use of acetochlor (ACT), a commonly used herbicide with latent endocrine disrupting functions, causes surface water pollution. The efficient removal of ACT from contaminated water supplies is of paramount importance. In the current work, 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isocyanate (BTP) was successfully anchored onto Cr-MIL-101 walls via covalent incorporation to afford Cr-MIL-101-BTP as a novel adsorbent for the high-efficiency removal of ACT in aqueous solutions. The kinetic adsorption process, adsorption isotherms, adsorbent regeneration, and key parameters, such as adsorbent dosage, pH value, and ionic strength, for the adsorption of ACT were studied. Results showed that a pseudo-second-order rate equation effectively describes the adsorption kinetics. The Langmuir model exhibited a better fit to adsorption isotherm than the Freundlich model. Given the π-π stacking and hydrogen bond interaction, the adsorption capacity in Cr-MIL-101-BTP approached a maximum of 312.5 mg/g for ACT, which was considerably higher than the adsorption capacities of many other reported adsorbents. The excellent adsorption characteristics of Cr-MIL-101-BTP toward ACT were preserved in a wide pH range and high concentration of background electrolytes. In addition, the result showed that partition coefficient (PC) of Cr-MIL-101-BTP was 356.14 mg/g/μM at 5 mg/L of ACT concentration, which was found as the outperformer in all tested subjects. The ACT adsorption capacity of Cr-MIL-101-BTP at the breakthrough point was greatly influenced by initial concentration, and could be described by the Thomas model. Regeneration experiments indicated that the Cr-MIL-101-BTP was recycled at least six times without significant loss of adsorption capacity. Moreover, Cr-MIL-101-BTP did not show cytotoxic activity against the tested HepG2 cell lines and did not pose serious risks to Daphnia carinata survival (48 h LC50 = 446.6 μg/mL). These results prefigured the promising potential of Cr-MIL-101-BTP as a novel adsorbent for the efficient removal of ACT from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Nanomicelles, by virtue of their prominent biocompatibility, degradability, and ability to solubilize hydrophobic drugs, have been widely used as the most effective delivery platform for anticancer drugs. However, undesirable drug-loading capacity, unfeasible modification, poor in vivo stability, and intratumoral penetration remain to be addressed. Herein, we introduce a novel core/shell PEGylated poly(glycerol sebacate) (PEGS)/hydroxyapatite (HA) hybrid nanomicelle based on a unique triblock PEGS substrate with functional carboxyls in terminals and free hydroxyls as pendant groups. The hydrophobic doxorubicin (DOX) can be controllably encapsulated in the core of nanomicelles via hydrogen bonding, and ensuing in situ mineralization of HA occurs as a shell layer with the electrostatic effect between the carboxylate radical (COO-) and calcium ion (Ca2+). Through optimizing the coordination of PEGS nanomicelles and HA mineralization, 20-30 nm spherical nanoparticles can be formed with considerable drug loading (0.38 mg DOX/1 mg nanoparticles) and a sensitive pH-responsive release (about 50% release amount at pH 5.6 while <5% release amount at pH 7.4 in 24 h). In further in vitro studies, this PEGS/HA hybrid nanoparticle system exhibits excellent selective tumor inhibitory efficacy, while in in vivo studies, high efficacy of tumor suppression and low incidence of toxicity can be evidenced in a DOX-loaded PEGS/HA group (71.7% decrease in average tumor volume compared to a control group after 15 day hypodermic treatment). The core/shell PEGS/HA nanoparticle coordinated with PEGS nanomicelles and in situ HA mineralization represents high drug-loading capacity, multifunctional possibility, and tumor-selective and responsive release profiles and could offer a highly promising platform for tumor therapy in clinical application.
