Abstract
The increasing demand for improving pesticide utilization efficiency has prompted the development of sustainable, targeted, and stimuli-responsive delivery systems. Herein, a multi-stimuli-responsive nano/microcapsule bidirectional delivery system loaded with pyraclostrobin (Pyr) is prepared through interfacial cross-linking from a lignin-based Pickering emulsion template. During this process, methacrylated alkali lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) are utilized as stabilizers for the tunable oil-water (O/W) Pickering emulsion. Subsequently, a thiol-ene radical reaction occurs with the acid-labile cross-linkers at the oil-water interface, leading to the formation of lignin nano/microcapsules (LNCs) with various topological shapes. Through the investigation of the polymerization process and the structure of LNC, it was found that the amphiphilicity-driven diffusion and distribution of cyclohexanone impact the topology of LNC. The obtained Pyr@LNC exhibits high encapsulation efficiency, tunable size, and excellent UV shielding to Pyr. Additionally, the flexible topology of the Pyr@LNC shell enhances the retention and adhesion of the foliar surface. Furthermore, Pyr@LNC exhibits pH/laccase-responsive targeting against Botrytis disease, enabling the intelligent release of Pyr. The in vivo fungicidal activity shows that efficacy of Pyr@LNC is 53% ± 2% at 14 days postspraying, whereas the effectiveness of Pyr suspension concentrate is only 29% ± 4%, and the acute toxicity of Pyr@LNC to zebrafish is reduced by more than 9-fold compared with that of Pyr technical. Moreover, confocal laser scanning microscopy shows that the LNCs can be bidirectionally translocated in plants. Therefore, the topology-regulated bidirectional delivery system LNC has great practical potential for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Environment-responsive-cum-site-specific delivery of therapeutic drugs into tumor cells is a foremost challenge for chemotherapy. In the present work, Moringa oleifera gum-based pH-responsive nanogel (MOGN) was functionalized as a doxorubicin (DOX) carrier. It was synthesized via free radical polymerization through the γ-irradiation method using acrylamide and N,N'-MBA followed by hydrolysis, sonication, and ultracentrifugation. The swelling behavior of MOGN as a function of pH was assessed using a gravimetric method that revealed its superabsorbent nature (365.0 g/g). Furthermore, MOGN showed a very high loading efficiency (98.35 %L) of DOX by MOGN. In vitro release studies revealed that DOX release from DOX-loaded MOGN was 91.92% at pH 5.5 and 12.18% at 7.4 pH, thus favorable to the tumor environment. The drug release from nanogel followed Korsmeyer-Peppas model at pH 5.5 and 6.8 and the Higuchi model at pH 7.4. Later, the efficient DOX release at the tumor site was also investigated by cytotoxicity study using Rhabdomyosarcoma cells. Thus, the synthesized nanogel having high drug loading capacity and excellent pH-triggered disintegration and DOX release performance in a simulated tumor environment could be a promising candidate drug delivery system for the targeted and controlled release of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Breast cancer is considered one of the utmost neoplastic diseases globally, with a high death rate of patients. Over the last decades, many approaches have been studied to early diagnose and treat it, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and MRI and biomarker tests; do not show the optimal efficacy. These existing approaches are accompanied by severe side effects, thus recognizing these challenges, a great effort has been done to find out the new remedies for breast cancer. Main finding: Nanotechnology opened a new horizon to the treatment of breast cancer. Many nanoparticulate platforms for the diagnosis of involved biomarkers and delivering antineoplastic drugs are under either clinical trials or just approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is well known that natural phytochemicals are successfully useful to treat breast cancer because these natural compounds are safer, available, cheaper, and have less toxic effects. Chitosan is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer. Further, it has outstanding features, like chemical functional groups that can easily modify our interest with an exceptional choice of promising applications. Abundant studies were directed to assess the chitosan derivative-based nanoformulation's abilities in delivering varieties of drugs. However, the role of chitosan in diagnostics and theranostics not be obligated. The present servey will discuss the application of chitosan as an anticancer drug carrier such as tamoxifen, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, etc. and also, its role as a theranostics (i.e. photo-responsive and thermo-responsive) moieties. The therapeutic and theranostic potential of chitosan in cancer is promising and it seems that to have a good potential to get to the clinic.

Abstract
Since the conceptualization of nanomedicine, numerous nanostructure-mediated drug formulations have progressed into clinical trials for treating cancer. However, recent clinical trial results indicate such kind of drug formulations has a limited improvement on the antitumor efficacy. This is due to the biological barriers associated with those formulations, for example, circulation stability, extravasation efficiency in tumor, tumor penetration ability, and developed multi-drug resistance. When employing for nanomedicine formulations, pristine organic-based and inorganic-based nanostructures have their own limitations. Accordingly, organic/inorganic (O/I) hybrids have been developed to integrate the merits of both, and to minimize their intrinsic drawbacks. In this context, the recent development in O/I hybrids resulting from a self-assembly strategy will be introduced. Through such a strategy, organic and inorganic building blocks can be self-assembled via either chemical covalent bonds or physical interactions. Based on the self-assemble procedure, the hybridization of four organic building blocks including liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and polymeric nanocapsules with five functional inorganic nanoparticles comprising gold nanostructures, magnetic nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, quantum dots, and silica nanoparticles will be highlighted. The recent progress of these O/I hybrids in advanced modalities for combating cancer, such as, therapeutic agent delivery, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy will be systematically reviewed.

Abstract
Crosslinked polymer nanocapsules (CPNCs) are hollowed nanoparticles with network-like polymeric shells stabilized by primary bonds. CPNCs have drawn broad and significant interests as nanocarriers for biomedical applications in recent years. As compared with conventional polymeric nanoparticles systems without cavity and/or crosslinking architectures, CPNCs possess significant biomedical relevant advantages, including (a) superior structural stability against environmental conditions, (b) high loading capacity and ability for region-specific loading of multiple cargos, (c) tuneable cargo release rate via crosslinking density, and (d) high specific surface area to facilitate surface adsorption, modification, and interactions. With appropriate base polymers and crosslinkages, CPNCs can be biocompatible and biodegradable. While CPNC-based biomedical nanoplatforms can possess relatively stable physicochemical properties owing to their crosslinked architectures, various biomedically relevant stimuli-responsivities can be incorporated with them through specific structural designs. CPNCs have been studied for the delivery of small molecule drugs, genes, proteins, and other therapeutic agents. They have also been investigated as diagnostic platforms for magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, and optical imaging. Moreover, CPNCs have been utilized to carry both therapeutics and bioimaging agents for theranostic applications. This article reviews the therapeutic, diagnostic and theranostic applications of CPNCs, as well as the preparation of these CPNCs, reported in the past decade. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Many deadly infections are produced by microorganisms capable of sustained survival in macrophages. This reduces exposure to chemadrotherapy, prevents immune detection, and is akin to criminals hiding in police stations. Therefore, the use of glyco-nanoparticles (GNPs) as carriers of therapeutic agents is a burgeoning field. Such an approach can enhance the penetration of drugs into macrophages with specific carbohydrate targeting molecules on the nanocarrier to interact with macrophage lectins. Carbohydrates are natural biological molecules and the key constituents in a large variety of biological events such as cellular communication, infection, inflammation, enzyme trafficking, cellular migration, cancer metastasis and immune functions. The prominent characteristics of carbohydrates including biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and the highly specific interaction of targeting cell-surface receptors support their potential application to drug delivery systems (DDS). This review presents the 21st century development of carbohydrate-based nanocarriers for drug targeting of therapeutic agents for diseases localized in macrophages. The significance of natural carbohydrate-derived nanoparticles (GNPs) as anti-microbial drug carriers is highlighted in several areas of treatment including tuberculosis, salmonellosis, leishmaniasis, candidiasis, and HIV/AIDS.

Abstract
Zwitterionic cross-linked biodegradable nanocapsules (NCs) were synthesized for cancer imaging. A polylactide (PLA)-based diblock copolymer with two blocks carrying acetylenyl and allyl groups respectively was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Azide-alkyne "click" reaction was conducted to conjugate sulfobetaine (SB) zwitterions and fluorescent dye Cy5.5 onto the acetylenyl-functionalized first block of the diblock copolymer. The resulting copolymer with a hydrophilic SB/Cy5.5-functionalized PLA block and a hydrophobic allyl-functionalized PLA block could stabilize miniemulsions because of its amphiphilic diblock structure. UV-induced thiol-ene "click" reaction between a dithiol cross-linker and the hydrophobic allyl-functionalized block of the copolymer at the peripheral region of nanoscopic oil nanodroplets in the miniemulsion generated cross-linked polymer NCs with zwitterionic outer shells. These NCs showed an average hydrodynamic diameter ( Dh) of 136 nm. They exhibited biodegradability, biocompatibility and high colloidal stability. In vitro study indicated that these NCs could be taken up by MIA PaCa-2 cancer cells. In vivo imaging study showed that, comparing to a small molecule dye, NCs had a longer circulation time, facilitating their accumulation at tumors for cancer imaging. Overall, this work demonstrates the applicability of zwitterionic biodegradable polymer-based materials in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Well-defined polyelectrolyte multilayer nanocapsules (NCs) are synthesized by layer-by-layer deposition of poly(acrylic acid) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) over crystallized miniemulsion nanoparticles, followed by shell crosslinking and template removal. This synthetic approach allows well-controlled dimensions of NCs due to the high colloidal stability of the templates, and may also permit a broad composition range of NCs because of the mild conditions for template removal.

Abstract
Transcutaneous vaccination has several advantages including having a noninvasive route and needle-free administration; nonetheless developing an effective transdermal formulation has not been an easy task because skin physiology, particularly the stratum corneum, does not allow antigen penetration. Size is a crucial parameter for successful active molecule administration through the skin. Here we report a new core-shell structure rationally developed for transcutaneous antigen delivery. The resulting multifunctional carrier has an oily core with immune adjuvant properties and a polymeric corona made of chitosan. This system has a size of around 100 nm and a positive zeta potential. The new formulation is stable in storage and physiological conditions. Ovalbumin (OVA) was used as the antigen model and the developed nanocapsules show high association efficiency (75%). Chitosan nanocapsules have high interaction with the immune system which was demonstrated by complement activation and also did not affect cell viability in the macrophage cell line. Finally, ex vivo studies using a pig skin model show that OVA associated to the chitosan nanocapsules developed in this study penetrated and were retained better than OVA in solution. Thus, the physicochemical properties and their adequate characteristics make this carrier an excellent platform for transcutaneous antigen delivery.

Abstract
The potential of sustaining release of very small (Mw < 250 g/mol) hydrophilic drugs up to several days from layer-by-layer (LbL) polyelectrolyte coated alginate microgels (Alg-Ms) was investigated. One purpose is to minimize post-surgical adhesions, which develop in 12 h to 3 days after surgery. The LbL polyelectrolyte layer would serve as a diffusion barrier for their release. The LbL polyelectrolyte bilayers were prepared using poly(allylamine) (PAH) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS). Sodium benzoate (NaB, Mw = 144 g/mol) and zosteric acid (ZA, Mw = 244 g/mol), two anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial compounds, were used as model drugs. A higher number of PAH/PSS bilayer lead to a greater sustained release of both drugs, and with 4 bilayers, the release of NaB and ZA was prolonged from 24 h to 72 h and 120 h, respectively. Fitting the data to the Ritger-Peppas' equation showed that as the bilayer number increased, the release constant and/or exponent decreased, indicating the LbL PAH/PSS bilayer effectively reduced the permeability of these two very small hydrophilic drugs. The ability to prolong the release of such small hydrophilic molecules, which has rarely been investigated previously, would find broad applications in fields such as anti-adhesion treatment and antifouling coatings.

Abstract
Micro- and nanosize lignin has recently gained interest due to improved properties compared to standard lignin available today. As the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose, lignin is readily available but used for rather low-value applications. This review focuses on the application of micro- and nanostructured lignin in final products or processes that all show potential for high added value. The fields of application are ranging from improvement of mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites, bactericidal and antioxidant properties and impregnations to hollow lignin drug carriers for hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances. Also, a carbonization of lignin nanostructures can lead to high-value applications such as use in supercapacitors for energy storage. The properties of the final product depend on the surface properties of the nanomaterial and, therefore, on factors like the lignin source, extraction method, and production/precipitation methods, as discussed in this review.

Abstract
Chitosan is a biocompatible natural polysaccharide, which has been employed as a polymeric scaffold for versatile, systemic delivery platforms and for locally injectable gels with temperature-sensitive viscosity modulation. Despite the extensive investigation on the chemical modification strategies, however, most of the chitosan-based delivery platforms have been focused on the encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs, which can be simply adsorbed on the chitosan scaffolds by hydrophobic interaction via the postparticle-formation drug-loading process. Herein, we present the facile formation of a cisplatin-coordinated chitosan nanoplatform by exploiting the divalent metal (PtII)-mediated conformational changes of chitosan chains, which allows for the simultaneous drug-loading and nanoparticle formation. To this end, the native chitosan has been chemically modified with short polyethylene glycol and malonic acid as a colloidal stabilizer and a bidentate chelating ligand for PtII coordination, respectively. The resulting PtII-modified polyampholytic chitosan (PtII-MPC) has been self-associated in aqueous media by hydrophobic segregation into a compact nanostructure, which exhibited an attenuated viscosity and pH-sensitive release of PtII compounds. Once the cationic drug molecules have been released under mild acidic conditions, the neutralized PtII-free MPC undergoes interchain flocculation near the isoelectric point because of the polyampholytic property, possibly allowing for the facilitated endosomal escape during the cellular endocytosis by the known membrane perturbation property of chitosan.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanocarriers with good biocompatibility, good imaging function, and smart drug delivery ability are crucial for realizing highly efficient imaging-guided chemotherapy in vivo. This paper reports a type of chitosan-carbon dot (CD) hybrid nanogels (CCHNs, ∼65 nm) by integrating pH-sensitive chitosan and fluorescent CDs into a single nanostructure for simultaneous near-infrared (NIR) imaging and NIR/pH dual-responsive drug release to improve therapeutic efficacy. Such CCHNs were synthesized via a nonsolvent-induced colloidal nanoparticle formation of chitosan-CD complexes assisted by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) molecules in the aqueous phase. The selective cross-linking of chitosan chains in the nanoparticles can immobilize small CDs complexed in the chitosan networks. The resultant CCHNs display high colloidal stability, high loading capacity for doxorubicin (DOX), bright and stable fluorescence from UV to NIR wavelength range, efficient NIR photothermal conversion, and intelligent drug release in response to both NIR light and change in pH. The results from in vitro tests on cell model and in vivo tests on different tissues of animal model indicate that the CCHNs are nontoxic. The DOX-loaded CCHNs can permeate into the implanted tumor on mice and release drug molecules efficiently on site to inhibit tumor growth. The additional photothermal treatments from NIR irradiation can further inhibit the tumor growth, benefited from the effective NIR photothermal conversion of CCHNs. The demonstrated CCHNs manifest a great promise toward multifunctional intelligent nanoplatform for highly efficient imaging-guided cancer therapy with low side effects.

Abstract
The tunability of the properties of chitosan-based carriers opens new ways for the application of drugs with low water-stability or high adverse effects. In this work, the combination of a nanoemulsion with a chitosan hydrogel coating and the following poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafting is proven to be a promising strategy to obtain a flexible and versatile nanocarrier with an improved stability. Thanks to chitosan amino groups, a new easy and reproducible method to obtain nanocapsule grafting with PEG has been developed in this work, allowing a very good control and tunability of the properties of nanocapsule surface. Two different PEG densities of coverage are studied and the nanocapsule systems obtained are characterized at all steps of the optimization in terms of diameter, Z potential and surface charge (amino group analysis). Results obtained are compatible with a conformation of PEG molecules laying adsorbed on nanoparticle surface after covalent linking through their amino terminal moiety. An improvement in nanocapsule stability in physiological medium is observed with the highest PEG coverage density obtained. Cytotoxicity tests also demonstrate that grafting with PEG is an effective strategy to modulate the cytotoxicity of developed nanocapsules. Such results indicate the suitability of chitosan as protective coating for future studies oriented toward drug delivery.

Abstract
Well-defined poly(ethylene glycol)-b-allyl functional polylactide-b-polylactides (PEG-APLA-PLAs) are synthesized through sequential ring-opening polymerization. PEG-APLA-PLAs that have amphiphilic properties and reactive allyl side chains on their intermediate blocks are successfully transferred to core-shell interface cross-linked micelles (ICMs) by micellization and UV-initiated irradiation. ICMs have demonstrated enhanced colloidal stability in physiological-mimicking media. Hydrophobic molecules such as Nile Red or doxorubicin (Dox) are readily loaded into ICMs; the resulting drug-ICM formulations possess slow and sustained drug release profiles under physiological-mimicking conditions. ICMs exhibit negligible cytotoxicity in human uterine sarcoma cancer cells by using biodegradable aliphatic polyester as the hydrophobic segments. Relative to free Dox, Dox-loaded ICMs show a reduced cytotoxicity due to the late intracellular release of Dox from ICMs. Overall, ICMs represent a new type of biodegradable cross-linked micelle and can be employed as a promising platform for delivering a broad variety of hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
Well-defined amphiphilic tumor-targeting brush-type copolymers, poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate-co-G3-C12)-g-poly(ε-caprolactone) (P(OEGMA-co-G3-C12)-g- PCL), were synthesized by the combination of ring-opening polymerization (ROP), reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization and polymer post-functionalization, in which G3-C12 was castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) targeting peptide. The obtained polymers were then employed for the targeted treatment of CRPC by delivering a hydrophobic anticancer drug (bufalin, BUF). Polymerizable monomer, 3-((2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)thio)propanoic acid (BSMA) and PCL-based macromolecular monomer (PCLMA) were synthesized at first. RAFT polymerization of OEGMA, BSMA, and PCLMA afforded amphiphilic brush-type copolymers, P(OEGMA-co-BSMA)-g-PCL. Post-functionalization of the obtained polymers with G3-C12 led to the formation of the final amphiphilic targeting brush-type copolymers, P(OEGMA-co-G3-C12)-g- PCL. In aqueous media, P(OEGMA-co-G3-C12)-g-PCL self-assembles into micelles with a hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) of ∼66.1±0.44nm. It was demonstrated that the obtained micellar nanoparticles exhibited good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Besides, BUF-loaded micellar nanoparticles assembled from P(OEGMA-co-G3-C12)-g-PCL, BUF-NP-(G3-C12), showed a controlled drug release in vitro and improved anticancer efficacy both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Wirelessly guided magnetic nanomachines are promising vectors for targeted drug delivery, which have the potential to minimize the interaction between anticancer agents and healthy tissues. In this work, we propose a smart multifunctional drug delivery nanomachine for targeted drug delivery that incorporates a stimuli-responsive building block. The nanomachine consists of a magnetic nickel (Ni) nanotube that contains a pH-responsive chitosan hydrogel in its inner cavity. The chitosan inside the nanotube serves as a matrix that can selectively release drugs in acidic environments, such as the extracellular space of most tumors. Approximately a 2.5 times higher drug release from Ni nanotubes at pH = 6 is achieved compared to that at pH = 7.4. The outside of the Ni tube is coated with gold. A fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled thiol-ssDNA, a biological marker, was conjugated on its surface by thiol-gold click chemistry, which enables traceability. The Ni nanotube allows the propulsion of the device by means of external magnetic fields. As the proposed nanoarchitecture integrates different functional building blocks, our drug delivery nanoplatform can be employed for carrying molecular drug conjugates and for performing targeted combinatorial therapies, which can provide an alternative and supplementary solution to current drug delivery technologies.

Abstract
A surfactant-free method of preparation of nanocapsules templated on liquid cores using amphiphilic graft polyelectrolytes was developed. A model photoactive copolymer, poly(sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonate) with grafted poly(vinylnaphthalene) chains (PAMPS-graft-PVN) was used to stabilize toluene droplets in an aqueous emulsion. The macromolecules, due to their amphiphilic character and the presence of strong ionic groups, tend to undergo intramolecular aggregation in water but at the water-oil interface less compact conformation is preferred with PVN grafts anchoring in the oil phase and the charged PAMPS main chains residing in the aqueous phase, thus stabilizing the nanoemulsion droplets. Formation of such nanocapsules was confirmed by dynamic light scattering measurements as well as SEM and cryo-TEM imaging. Grafting density and content of the chromophores in the graft copolymers were varied in order to achieve high stability of the coated nanodroplets. It was shown that the capsules are better stabilized by the copolymers with many short hydrophobic grafts than with fewer but longer ones. Use of photoactive polyelectrolytes enabled spectroscopic investigation of the relationship between conformation of the macromolecules and stabilization of the oil-core nanocapsules. Long-term stability of the nanocapsules was achieved and further increased by multilayer shell formation using polyelectrolytes deposited via the layer-by-layer approach. The obtained capsules served as efficient nanocontainers for a hydrophobic fluorescent probe. The proposed strategy of nanocapsule preparation may be easily extended to biologically relevant polymers and applied to fabricate liquid core nanodelivery systems without the need of using low molecular weight additives which may have adverse effects in numerous biomedical applications.

Abstract
The acid-sensitive PEGylated doxorubicin (DOX) with exact chemical structure was designed and prepared as a potential tumor intracellular microenvironment-responsive drug delivery system. First, the insensitive succinic anhydride-functionalized DOX (i.e., SAD) and acid-sensitive cis-aconitic anhydride-modified DOX (i.e., CAD) were synthesized through the ring-opening reaction. Subsequently, the insensitive and acid-sensitive PEGylated DOX (i.e., mPEG-SAD and mPEG-CAD) was prepared by the condensation reaction between the terminal hydroxyl group of mPEG and the carboxyl group in SAD and CAD, respectively. The obtained mPEG-SAD and mPEG-CAD could spontaneously self-assemble into micelles in phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7.4 with diameters of about 100 nm. The DOX release of mPEG-CAD micelle could be accelerated by the decrease of pH from 7.4, 6.8, to 5.5 in relation to that of mPEG-SAD micelle. On the other hand, the result of the cellular proliferation inhibition test indicated that mPEG-CAD micelle exhibited favorable antiproliferative activity in vitro. In addition, the selective intratumoral accumulation and antitumor efficacy of mPEG-CAD micelle were significantly better than those of free DOX and mPEG-SAD. More importantly, the prodrug micelles exhibited upregulated security in vivo as compared to free DOX. Overall, the mPEG-CAD micelle with enhanced antitumor efficacy and decreased side effects was a fascinating prospect for the clinical chemotherapy of malignancy.
