Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the head and neck, and 90% of cases are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Chemotherapy is an important component of comprehensive treatment for OSCC. However, the clinical treatment effect of chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin (DOX), is limited due to the lack of tumor targeting and rapid clearance by the immune system. Thus, based on the tumor-targeting and immune evasion abilities of macrophages, macrophage membrane-encapsulated poly(methyl vinyl ether alt maleic anhydride)-phenylboronic acid-doxorubicin nanoparticles (MM@PMVEMA-PBA-DOX NPs), briefly as MM@DOX NPs, were designed to target OSCC. The boronate ester bonds between PBA and DOX responded to the low pH value in the tumor microenvironment, selectively releasing the loaded DOX. RESULTS The results showed that MM@DOX NPs exhibited uniform particle size and typical core-shell structure. As the pH decreased from 7.4 to 5.5, drug release increased from 14 to 21%. The in vitro targeting ability, immune evasion ability, and cytotoxicity of MM@DOX NPs were verified in HN6 and SCC15 cell lines. Compared to free DOX, flow cytometry and fluorescence images demonstrated higher uptake of MM@DOX NPs by tumor cells and lower uptake by macrophages. Cell toxicity and live/dead staining experiments showed that MM@DOX NPs exhibited stronger in vitro antitumor effects than free DOX. The targeting and therapeutic effects were further confirmed in vivo. Based on in vivo biodistribution of the nanoparticles, the accumulation of MM@DOX NPs at the tumor site was increased. The pharmacokinetic results demonstrated a longer half-life of 9.26 h for MM@DOX NPs compared to 1.94 h for free DOX. Moreover, MM@DOX NPs exhibited stronger tumor suppression effects in HN6 tumor-bearing mice and good biocompatibility. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, MM@DOX NPs is a safe and efficient therapeutic platform for OSCC.

Abstract
Macrophages (MAs), which play vital roles in human immune responses and lipid metabolisms, are implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Specifically, the abnormal lipid metabolism of oxidized low-density lipids (oxLDLs) in MAs is believed to be a crucial factor. However, the precise mechanism by which the MA membrane contributes to this altered lipid metabolism remains unclear. Lipidomic studies have revealed significant differences in membrane composition between various MA phenotypes. This study serves to provide and characterize complex realistic computational models for naïve (M0) and Kdo2-lipid A-activated (M1) state MA. Analyses of surface area per lipid (SA/lip), area compressibility modulus (KA), carbon‑hydrogen order parameter (SCH), electron density profile (EDP), tilt angles, two-dimension radial distribution functions (2D RDFs), mean squared displacement (MSD), hydrogen bonds (H-bonds), lipid clustering, and lipid wobble were conducted for both models. Results indicate that the M1 state MA membrane is more tightly packed, with increased chain order across lipid species, and forms PSM-DOPG-CHOL and PSM-SLPC-CHOL clusters. Importantly, the bilayer thicknesses reported for the models are in good agreement with experimental data for the thicknesses of transmembrane regions for MA integral proteins. These findings validate the described models as physiologically accurate for future computational studies of MA membranes and their residing proteins.

Abstract
The abnormal aggregation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) is a major contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cu2+ homeostasis imbalance can lead to the aggregation of Aβ, resulting in cytotoxic oligomers and fibrous aggregates, causing neuroinflammation and nerve cell damage, ultimately leading to AD. In this study, we synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dot (CQD), and designed a macrophage membrane (RAW-M) encapsulated CQD nanosystem for the first time. The abundant nitrogen-containing groups on the surface of CQD effectively capture excess Cu2+ and inhibit rapid Aβ aggregation. Additionally, the good photothermal properties of CQD dissolve the formed fiber precipitates under near-infrared light (NIR). In vitro and in vivo studies showed that the nanosystem significantly improved BBB permeability under laser irradiation, enhancing its ability to cross the BBB and overcome traditional anti-AD drug limitations. In vivo investigations conducted on APP/PS1 mice indicate that the nanosystem strongly reduced Aβ deposition, mitigated neuroinflammation, and ameliorates deficits in learning and memory. Overall, our nanocarrier approach adjusts metal ion homeostasis, inhibits abnormal Aβ aggregation, and uses excellent photothermal properties to depolymerize mature Aβ fibrils to protect cells from Aβ neurotoxicity, providing an effective strategy for Aβ-targeted treatment of AD.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury is common in patients who undergo revascularization therapy for myocardial infarction, often leading to cardiac dysfunction. Carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as a therapeutic molecule due to its beneficial properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and mitochondrial biogenesis-promoting properties. However, its clinical application is limited due to uncontrolled release, potential toxicity, and poor targeting efficiency. To address these limitations, a peroxynitrite (ONOO-)-triggered CO donor (PCOD585) is utilized to generate a poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based, biomimetic CO nanogenerator (M/PCOD@PLGA) that is coated with the macrophage membrane, which could target to the ischemic area and neutralize proinflammatory cytokines. In the ischemic area, local produced ONOO- triggers the continuous release of CO from M/PCOD@PLGA, which efficiently ameliorates MI/R injury by clearing harmful ONOO-, attenuating the inflammatory response, inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis. This study provides a novel insight into the safe therapeutic use of CO for MI/R injury by utilizing a novel CO donor combined with biomimetic technology. The M/PCOD@PLGA nanogenerator offers targeted delivery of CO to the ischemic area, minimizing potential toxicity and enhancing therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
A disorder of cholesterol homeostasis is one of the main initiating factors in the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Metabolism and removal of excess cholesterol facilitates the prevention of foam cell formation. However, the failure of treatment with drugs (e.g. methotrexate, MTX) to effectively regulate progression of disease may be related to the limited drug bioavailability and rapid clearance by immune system. Thus, based on the inflammatory lesion "recruitment" properties of macrophages, MTX nanoparticles (MTX NPs) camouflaged with macrophage membranes (MM@MTX NPs) were constructed for the target to AS plaques. MM@MTX NPs exhibited a uniform hydrodynamic size around ~ 360 nm and controlled drug release properties (~ 72% at 12 h). After the macrophage membranes (MM) functionalized "homing" target delivery to AS plaques, MM@MTX NPs improved the solubility of cholesterol by the functionalized β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) component and significantly elevate cholesterol efflux by the loaded MTX mediated the increased expression levels of ABCA1, SR-B1, CYP27A1, resulting in efficiently inhibiting the formation of foam cells. Furthermore, MM@MTX NPs could significantly reduce the area of plaque, aortic plaque and cholesterol crystals deposition in ApoE-/- mice and exhibited biocompatibility. It is suggested that MM@MTX NPs were a safe and efficient therapeutic platform for AS.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of the prosthesis is a severe complication after joint replacement. It is of great practical significance and social value to discover the prevention and treatment strategies for this condition. Exosomes from urine-derived stem cells (Exos) have great potential in promoting bone repair, reconstruction, and regulating bone metabolism. However, they are easily eliminated by macrophages and incapable of targeting the osteolysis zone. In this study, based on macrophage "homing" into periprosthetic osteolysis region and cell membrane encapsulating nanotechnology, exosomes from urine-derived stem cells were encapsulated with macrophage membrane (MM) to prevent periprosthetic osteolysis. We found that macrophage membrane encapsulated urine-derived stem cell-derived exosomes (MM-Exos) can be targeted delivery to the osteolysis zone and enhance the therapeutic effectiveness of Exos, which alleviated wear particles-induced calvarial osteolysis. Furthermore, MM-Exos could provide immunological camouflage and allow the Exos to avoid phagocytosis by macrophages and stimulate cellular uptake by bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs). Therefore, we demonstrated the unique ability of the macrophage membrane as a targeted transport of exosomes from urine-derived stem cells for the prevention and treatment of periprosthetic osteolysis. These biomimetic nanoparticles provided a new therapeutic exosome delivery system for preventing wear particles-induced osteolysis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Macrophage membrane encapsulated urine-derived stem cell-derived exosomes (MM-Exos) can be targeted delivery to the osteolysis zone and enhance the therapeutic effect of Exos on peri‑prosthetic osteolysis prevention. MM-Exos could allow the Exos to avoid phagocytosis by macrophages and promote the uptake of Exos by BMSCs.

Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which normally follows psychological trauma, has been increasingly studied as a brain disease. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents conventional drugs for PTSD from entering the brain. Our previous studies proved the effectiveness of cannabidiol (CBD) against PTSD, but low water solubility, low brain targeting efficiency and poor bioavailability restricted its applications. Here, a bionic delivery system, camouflage CBD-loaded macrophage-membrane nanovesicles (CMNVs), was constructed via co-extrusion of CBD with macrophage membranes, which had inflammatory and immune escape properties. In vitro anti-inflammatory, cellular uptake and pharmacokinetic experiments respectively verified the anti-inflammatory, inflammatory targeting and immune escape properties of CMNVs. Brain targeting and excellent anti-PTSD effects of CMNVs had been validated in vivo by imaging and pharmacodynamics studies. In our study, the potential of ultrasound to open BBBs and improve the brain-targeted delivery of CBD was evaluated. In conclusion, this cell membrane bionic delivery system assisted with ultrasound had good therapeutic effect against PTSD mice, which is expected to help convey CBD to inflammatory areas within the brain and alleviate the symptoms of PTSD.

Abstract
Macrophages participate in many links in the pathological process of atherosclerosis (AS) and the regulation of influence of macrophages at the molecular level might be a new avenue for AS treatment. For this aim, the macrophage membrane biomimetic nanoparticles, derived from macrophage membrane coated SHP1i-loaded liposome NPs (MM@Lips-SHP1i) was designed. Due to the reservation of intrinsic membrane proteins and function from macrophages, the biomimic nanoparticles could effectively evade clearance by the immune system, prolong blood circulation time and actively tend and aggregate to atherosclerotic plaques. More importantly, in the plaque area, MM@Lips-SHP1i nanoparticles could compete with macrophages in vivo to bind with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), reduce uptake of new lipids by macrophages, reduce foam cell formation, and inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, small molecule inhibitor of SHP-1, the downstream effector molecule of CD47 loaded in macrophage membrane biomimetic nanoparticles could interrupt CD47-SIRPα signal transduction in monocytes and macrophages, thereby enhancing the efferocytosis of macrophages, inhibiting the progression of plaque, achieving synergistic treatment of atherosclerosis. This work focuses on the key process in the formation of AS, macrophage foaming and chronic inflammation, and is based on the fact that macrophage membrane biomimetic nanoparticles can preserve the key surface proteins of macrophages closely related to the formation of AS, providing a new avenue to inhibit the progression of AS by utilizing the biological characteristics of macrophage membrane in macrophage membrane biomimetic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) is primarily impaired in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), leading to progressive loss of photoreceptors and sometimes choroidal neovascularization (CNV). mTOR has been proposed as a promising therapeutic target, while the usage of its specific inhibitor, rapamycin, was greatly limited. To mediate the mTOR pathway in the retina by a noninvasive approach, we developed novel biomimetic nanocomplexes where rapamycin-loaded nanoparticles were coated with cell membrane derived from macrophages (termed as MRaNPs). Taking advantage of the macrophage-inherited property, intravenous injection of MRaNPs exhibited significantly enhanced accumulation in the CNV lesions, thereby increasing the local concentration of rapamycin. Consequently, MRaNPs effectively downregulated the mTOR pathway and attenuate angiogenesis in the eye. Particularly, MRaNPs also efficiently activated autophagy in the RPE, which was acknowledged to rescue RPE in response to deleterious stimuli. Overall, we design and prepare macrophage-disguised rapamycin nanocarriers and demonstrate the therapeutic advantages of employing biomimetic cell membrane materials for treatment of AMD.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a disease associated with suffering and high lethality, but to date without any effective pharmacological management in the clinic. In the pathological mechanisms of ALI, a strong inflammatory response plays an important role. Herein, based on macrophage 'homing' into inflammation sites and cell membrane coating nanotechnology, we developed a biomimetic anti-inflammation nanosystem (MM-CEP/NLCs) for the treatment of ALI. MM-CEP/NLCs were made with nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) coated with natural macrophage membranes (MMs) to achieve effective accumulation of cepharanthine (CEP) in lung inflammation to achieve the effect of treating ALI. With the advantage of suitable physicochemical properties of NLCs and unique biological functions of the macrophage membrane, MM-CEP/NLCs were stabilized and enabled sustained drug release, providing improved biocompatibility and long-term circulation. In vivo, the macrophage membranes enabled NLCs to be targeted and accumulated in the inflammation sites. Further, MM-CEP/NLCs significantly attenuated the severity of ALI, including lung water content, histopathology, bronchioalveolar lavage cellularity, protein concentration, and inflammation cytokines. Our results provide a bionic strategy via the biological properties of macrophages, which may have greater value and application prospects in the treatment of inflammation.
