Abstract
Pancreatitis is an inflammatory reaction of pancreatic tissue digestion, edema, bleeding and even necrosis caused by activation of pancreatin due to various causes. In particular, patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) often suffer from secondary infection, peritonitis and shock, and have a high mortality rate. Chronic pancreatitis (CP) can cause permanent damage to the pancreas. Due to the innate characteristics, structure and location of the pancreas, there is no effective treatment, only relief of symptoms. Especially, AP is an unpredictable and potentially fatal disease, and the timely diagnosis and treatment remains a major challenge. With the rapid development of nanomedicine technology, many potential tools can be used to address this problem. In this review, we have introduced the pathophysiological processes of pancreatitis to understanding its etiology and severity. Most importantly, the current progress in the diagnosis and treatment tools of pancreatitis based on nanomedicine is summarized and prospected.

Abstract
In the past two decades, we have witnessed rapid developments in nanotechnology, especially in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, biosensing, and bioimaging. The most commonly used nanomaterials in biomedical applications are nanoparticles, which serve as carriers for various therapeutic and contrast reagents. Since nanomaterials are in direct contact with biological samples, biocompatibility is one of the most important issues for the fabrication and synthesis of nanomaterials for biomedical applications. To achieve specific recognition of biomolecules for targeted delivery and biomolecular sensing, it is common practice to engineer the surfaces of nanomaterials with recognition moieties. This mini-review summarizes different approaches for engineering the interfaces of nanomaterials to improve their biocompatibility and specific recognition properties. We also focus on design strategies that mimic biological systems such as cell membranes of red blood cells, leukocytes, platelets, cancer cells, and bacteria.

Abstract
Activation of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway has great potential to promote antitumor immunity. Development of activators for the cGAS-STING pathway (cGAS-STING activators) has profoundly revolutionized tumor immunotherapy. However, successful clinical application of cGAS-STING activators is contingent on having appropriate systems to achieve safe, effective, and specific delivery. There is an increasing emphasis on the design and application of nano drug delivery systems (NDDS) that can facilitate the delivery potential of cGAS-STING activators. In this review, we discuss barriers for translational development of cGAS-STING activators (DNA damaging drugs and STING agonists) and recent advances of NDDS for these agents in tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Cancer is a global health problem that needs effective treatment strategies. Conventional treatments for solid-tumor cancers are unsatisfactory because they cause unintended harm to healthy tissues and are susceptible to cancer cell resistance. Nanoparticle-mediated photothermal therapy is a minimally invasive treatment for solid-tumor cancers that has immense promise as a standalone therapy or adjuvant to other treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. To maximize the success of photothermal therapy, light-responsive nanoparticles can be camouflaged with cell membranes to endow them with unique biointerfacing capabilities that reduce opsonization, prolong systemic circulation, and improve tumor delivery through enhanced passive accumulation or homotypic targeting. This ensures a sufficient dose of photoresponsive nanoparticles arrives at tumor sites to enable their complete thermal ablation. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art in cell membrane camouflaged nanoparticles for photothermal cancer therapy and provides insights to the path forward for clinical translation.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems based on polymeric nanovehicles are among the most promising treatment regimens for malignant cancers. Such intelligent systems that release payloads in response to the physiological characteristics of tumor sites have several advantages over conventional drug carriers, offering, in particular, enhanced therapeutic effects and decreased toxicity. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is acidic, suggesting the potential of pH-responsive nanovehicles for enhancing treatment specificity and efficacy. The synthetic polypeptide poly(l-histidine) (PLH) is an appropriate candidate for the preparation of pH-responsive nanovehicles because the pKa of PLH (approximately 6.0) is close to the pH of the acidic TME. In addition, the pendent imidazole rings of PLH yield pH-dependent hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic phase transitions in the acidic TME, triggering the destabilization of nanovehicles and the subsequent release of encapsulated chemotherapeutic agents. Herein, we highlight the state-of-the-art design and construction of pH-responsive nanovehicles based on PLH and discuss the future challenges and perspectives of this fascinating biomaterial for targeted cancer treatment and "benchtop-to-clinic" translation.

Abstract
Biomimetic approaches utilize natural cell membrane-derived nanovesicles to camouflage nanoparticles to circumvent some limitations of nanoscale materials. This emergent cell membrane-coating technology is inspired by naturally occurring intercellular interactions, to efficiently guide nanostructures to the desired locations, thereby increasing both therapeutic efficacy and safety. In addition, the intrinsic biocompatibility of cell membranes allows the crossing of biological barriers and avoids elimination by the immune system. This results in enhanced blood circulation time and lower toxicity in vivo. Macrophages are the major phagocytic cells of the innate immune system. They are equipped with a complex repertoire of surface receptors, enabling them to respond to biological signals, and to exhibit a natural tropism to inflammatory sites and tumorous tissues. Macrophage cell membrane-functionalized nanosystems are designed to combine the advantages of both macrophages and nanomaterials, improving the ability of those nanosystems to reach target sites. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of these biomimetic nanosystems for targeted delivery of drugs and imaging agents to tumors, inflammatory, and infected sites. The present review covers the preparation and biomedical applications of macrophage cell membrane-coated nanosystems. Challenges and future perspectives in the development of these membrane-coated nanosystems are addressed.

Abstract
As nano-sized materials prepared by isolating, disrupting and extruding cell membranes, cellular vesicles are emerging as a novel vehicle for immunotherapeutic drugs to activate antitumor immunity. Cell membrane-derived vesicles inherit the surface characteristics and functional properties of parental cells, thus having superior biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and long circulation. Moreover, the potent antitumor effect of cellular vesicles can be achieved through surface modification, genetic engineering, hybridization, drug encapsulation, and exogenous stimulation. The capacity of cellular vesicles to combine drugs of different compositions and functions in physical space provides a promising vehicle for combinational immunotherapy of cancer. In this review, the latest advances in cellular vesicles as vehicles for combinational cancer immunotherapy are systematically summarized with focuses on manufacturing processes, cell sources, therapeutic strategies and applications, providing an insight into the potential and existing challenges of using cellular vesicles for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Melanoma is a cancer of melanocytes present at the basal layer of the skin. Nanomedicine has armed us with competent platform to manage such fatal neoplastic diseases. Nevertheless, it suffers from numerous pitfalls such as rapid clearance and opsonization of surface-functionalized carriers, biocompatibility and idiopathic reactions which could be difficult to predict in the patient. Biomimetic approach, a novel step towards personalized medicine bridges these drawbacks by employing endogenous cell membranes to traverse physiological barriers. Camouflaged carriers coated with natural cell membranes possess unique characteristics such as high circulatory periods, and the absence of allogenic and xenogenic responses. Proteins residing on the cell membranes render a diverse range of utilities to the coated nanoparticles including natural efficiency to identify cellular targets, homologous targeting, reticuloendothelial system evasion, biocompatibility and reduced adverse and idiopathic effects. In the present article, we have focused on cell membrane camouflaged nanocarriers for melanoma management. We have discussed various types of biomimetic systems, their processing and coating approaches, and their characterization. We have also enumerated novel avenues in melanoma treatment and the combination of biomimetic systems with smart nanoparticulate systems with the potential to bring breakthroughs in the near future. Additionally, immunotherapy-based biomimetic systems to combat melanoma have been highlighted. Hurdles towards clinical translation and ways to overcome them have been explained in detail.

Abstract
Natural types of cells display distinct characteristics with homotypic targeting and extended circulation in the blood, which are worthy of being explored as promising drug delivery systems (DDSs) for cancer therapy. To enhance their delivery efficiency, these cells can be combined with therapeutic agents and artificial nanocarriers to construct the next generation of DDSs in the form of biomimetic nanomedicines. In this review, we present the recent advances in cell membrane-based DDSs (CDDSs) and their applications for efficient cancer therapy. Different sources of cell membranes are discussed, mainly including red blood cells (RBC), leukocytes, cancer cells, stem cells and hybrid cells. Moreover, the extraction methods used for obtaining such cells and the mechanism contributing to the functional action of these biomimetic CDDSs are explained. Finally, a future perspective is proposed to highlight the limitations of CDDSs and the possible resolutions toward clinical transformation of currently developed biomimetic chemotherapies.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) have been paid great attention in the field of oncology in recent past years since they have enormous potential in drug delivery, gene delivery, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), bio-imaging, driven motion, etc. To overcome the innate limitations of the conventional INPs, such as fast elimination by the immune system, low accumulation in tumor sites, and severe toxicity to the organism, great efforts have recently been made to modify naked INPs, facilitating their clinical application. Taking inspiration from nature, considerable researchers have exploited cell membrane-camouflaged INPs (CMCINPs) by coating various cell membranes onto INPs. CMCINPs naturally inherit the surface adhesive molecules, receptors, and functional proteins from the original cell membrane, making them versatile as the natural cells. In order to give a timely and representative review on this rapidly developing research subject, we highlighted recent advances in CMCINPs with superior unique merits of various INPs and natural cell membranes for cancer therapy applications. The opportunity and obstacles of CMCINPs for clinical translation were also discussed. The review is expected to assist researchers in better eliciting the effect of CMCINPs for the management of tumors and may catalyze breakthroughs in this area.

Partial ligand shielding nanoparticles improve pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treatment via a multifunctional paradigm for tumor stroma reprogramming. Acta Biomater 2022; 145:122-134. [PMID: 35381402 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.03.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
The dense stroma that acts as a physical and biological barrier in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) leads to the failure of chemotherapeutic drug delivery. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and extracellular matrix (ECM) mainly constitute the refuge for cancer cells in PDAC. Herein, a CAF targeting drug delivery system (TDDS) based on RBC vesicles partial protection (RBC-Fn-NP) was established and investigated for reprogramming stroma, as well as enhancing tumor penetration and antitumor efficacy in PDAC. RBC vesicles were firstly used for partial protection of peptide from external influences. The exposed FnBPA5 peptide showed high affinity with both CAFs and the major components as collagen I and relaxed-fibronectin of ECM. Retinoic acid (RA) could disturb Golgi of CAFs, resulting in the reduction of protein secretion from the headstream. As expected, the strategy of RBC vesicles protected FnBPA5 targeting and RA-induced protein reduction was confirmed to reprogram the dense stroma and improve the penetration of Doxorubicin (Dox) in PDAC. RBC-Fn-NP inhibited tumor growth in both Pan02-orthotopic bearing model and Pan02-subcutaneous mice model. Hence, these partial ligand shielding nanoparticles offer a multifunctional and efficient approach to overcome penetration barriers and enhance the antitumor efficacy of chemotherapy in PDAC. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A partial ligand shielding nanoparticle platform (RBC-Fn-NP), which has the function of an RBC vesicle "shell" and thetargeting properties of a "core" to achieve superior therapeutic effects against PDAC, was established. The targeted ligand was modified on the surface of the nanoparticles instead of the RBC membranes. Three-dimensional PDAC stroma-rich spheroids were established to evaluate the penetration and tumor stroma remodeling. The targeting properties of FnBPA5 peptide, the effect of RA-induced Golgi disruption on the reduction of protein secretion, and the incomplete "camouflage" of the RBC vesicles were confirmed both in vitro and in vivo. As expected, our nanoplatform may provide a promising strategy for remolding dense stroma and enhancing the permeability in PDAC.

Abstract
The idea of employing natural cell membranes as a coating medium for nanoparticles (NPs) endows man-made vectors with natural capabilities and benefits. In addition to retaining the physicochemical characteristics of the NPs, the biomimetic NPs also have the functionality of source cell membranes. It has emerged as a promising approach to enhancing the properties of NPs for drug delivery, immune evasion, imaging, cancer-targeting, and phototherapy sensitivity. Several studies have been reported with a multitude of approaches to reengineering the surface of NPs using biological membranes. Owing to their low immunogenicity and intriguing biomimetic properties, cell-membrane-based biohybrid delivery systems have recently gained a lot of interest as therapeutic delivery systems. This review summarises different kinds of biomimetic NPs reported so far, their fabrication aspects, and their application in the biomedical field. Finally, it briefs on the latest advances available in this biohybrid concept.

Bovine serum albumin-based biomimetic gene complexes with specificity facilitate rapid re-endothelialization for anti-restenosis. Acta Biomater 2022; 142:221-241. [PMID: 35151926 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Re-endothelialization is a critical problem to inhibit postoperative restenosis, and gene delivery exhibits great potential in rapid endothelialization. Unfortunately, the therapeutic effect is enormously limited by inefficient specificity, poor biocompatibility and in vivo stability owing largely to the complicated in vivo environment. Herein, we developed a series of platelet membrane (PM) cloaked gene complexes based on natural bovine serum albumin (BSA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI). The gene complexes aimed to accelerate re-endothelialization for anti-restenosis via pcDNA3.1-VEGF165 (VEGF) plasmid delivery. Based on BSA and PM coating, these gene complexes exhibited good biocompatibility, stability with serum and robust homing to endothelium-injured site inherited from platelets. Besides, they enhanced the expression of VEGF protein by their high internalization and nucleus accumulation efficiency, and also substantially promoted migration and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells. The biological properties were further optimized via altering PEI and PM content. Finally, rapid recovery of endothelium in a carotid artery injured mouse model (79% re-endothelialization compared with model group) was achieved through two weeks' treatment by the PM cloaked gene complexes. High level of expressed VEGF in vivo was also realized by the gene complexes. Moreover, neointimal hyperplasia (IH) was significantly inhibited by the gene complexes according to in vivo study. The results verified the great potential of the PM cloaked gene complexes in re-endothelialization for anti-restenosis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Rapid re-endothelialization is a major challenge to inhibit postoperative restenosis. Herein, a series of biodegradable and biocompatible platelet membrane (PM) cloaked gene complexes were designed to accelerate re-endothelialization for anti-restenosis via pcDNA3.1-VEGF165 (VEGF) plasmid delivery. The PM cloaked gene complexes provided high VEGF expression in vascular endothelial cells (VECs), rapid migration and proliferation of VECs and robust homing to endothelium-injured site. In a carotid artery injured mouse model, PM cloaked gene complexes significantly promoted VEGF expression in vivo, accelerated re-endothelialization and inhibited neointimal hyperplasia due to their good biocompatibility and superior specificity. Overall, the optimized PM cloaked gene complexes overcomes multiple obstacles in gene delivery for re-endothelialization and can be a promising candidate for gene delivery and therapy of postoperative restenosis.

Int J Pharm 2022; 618:121665. [PMID: 35288223 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Targeting delivery and prolonging action duration of artemisinin drugs are effective strategies for improving antimalarial treatment outcomes. Here, dihydroartemisinin (DHA) loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (PDNs) were prepared and further cloaked with red blood cell (RBC) membranes via electrostatic interactions to yield RBC membrane-cloaked PDNs (RPDNs). The prepared RPDNs displayed a notable "core-shell" structure, with a negative surface charge of -29.2 ± 4.19 mV, a relatively uniform size distribution (86.4 ± 2.54 nm, polydispersity index of 0.179 ± 0.011), an average encapsulation efficiency (70.1 ± 0.79%), and a 24-h sustained-release behavior in vitro. Compared with PDNs, RPDNs showed markedly decreased phagocytic activity by RAW 264.7 cells and had prolonged blood circulation duration. The Pearson correlation coefficient of RPDNs distribution in infected red blood cells (iRBCs) was 0.7173, suggesting that RPDNs could effectively target Plasmodium-iRBCs. In PyBy265-infected mice, RPDNs showed a higher inhibition ratio (88.39 ± 2.69%) than PDNs (83.13 ± 2.12%) or DHA (58.74 ± 3.78%), at the same dose of 8.8 μmol/kg. The ED90 of RPDNs (8.13 ± 0.18 μmol/kg) was substantially lower than that of PDNs (14.48 ± 0.23 μmol/kg) and DHA (17.67 ± 3.38 μmol/kg). Furthermore, no apparent abnormalities were detected in routine blood examination, liver function indexes, and pathological analysis of tissue sections of PyBy265-infected mice following RPDNs treatment. In conclusion, the prepared RPDNs exhibited enhanced antimalarial efficacy, prolonged circulation, targeted delivery to Plasmodium-iRBCs, and satisfactory biocompatibility.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy can effectively inhibit cancer progression by activating the autoimmune system, with low toxicity and high effectiveness. Some of cancer immunotherapy had positive effects on clinical cancer treatment. However, cancer immunotherapy is still restricted by cancer heterogeneity, immune cell disability, tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment and systemic immune toxicity. Cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMCNs) inherit abundant source cell-relevant functions, including “self” markers, cross-talking with the immune system, biological targeting, and homing to specific regions. These enable them to possess preferred characteristics, including better biological compatibility, weak immunogenicity, immune escaping, a prolonged circulation, and tumor targeting. Therefore, they are applied to precisely deliver drugs and promote the effect of cancer immunotherapy. In the review, we summarize the latest researches of biomimetic CMCNs for cancer immunotherapy, outline the existing specific cancer immune therapies, explore the unique functions and molecular mechanisms of various cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, and analyze the challenges which CMCNs face in clinical translation.

Abstract
Bringing together photothermal therapy and chemotherapy (photothermal-chemotherapy, PT-CT) is a highly promising clinical approach but requires the development of intelligent multifunctional delivery vectors. In this work, we prepared mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA NPs) loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX). These NPs were then coated with the platelet membrane (PLTM). The coated MPDA NPs are spherical and clearly mesoporous in structure. They have a particle size of approximately 184 nm and pore size of ca. 45 nm. The NPs are potent photothermal agents and efficient DOX carriers, with increased rates of drug release observed in vitro in conditions representative of the tumor microenvironment. The NPs are preferentially taken up by cancer cells but not by macrophage cells, and while cytocompatible with healthy cells are highly toxic to cancer cells. An in vivo murine model of human breast cancer revealed that the NPs can markedly slow the growth of a tumor (ca. 9-fold smaller after 14 days' treatment), have extended pharmacokinetics compared to free DOX (with DOX still detectable in the bloodstream after 24 h when the NPs are applied), and are highly targeted with minimal off-site effects on the heart, liver, spleen, kidney, and lungs.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG), a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has been extensively used as a photoacoustic (PA) probe for PA imaging. However, its practical application is limited by poor photostability in water, rapid body clearance, and non-specificity. Herein, we fabricated a novel biomimetic nanoprobe by coating ICG-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles with the cancer cell membrane (namely, CMI) for PA imaging. This probe exhibited good dispersion, large loading efficiency, good biocompatibility, and homologous targeting ability to Hela cells in vitro. Furthermore, the in vivo and ex vivo PA imaging on Hela tumor-bearing nude mice demonstrated that CMI could accumulate in tumor tissue and display a superior PA imaging efficacy compared with free ICG. All these results demonstrated that CMI might be a promising contrast agent for PA imaging of cervical carcinoma.

Abstract
The synergistic manipulation of autophagy blocking with tumor targeting and penetration effects to enhance cancer cell killing during photothermal therapy (PTT) remains a substantial challenge. Herein, we fabricated a biomimetic nanoplatform by precisely coating homologous prostate cancer cell membranes (CMs) onto the surface of mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (mPDA NPs) encapsulating the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) for synergistically manipulating PTT and autophagy for anticancer treatment. The resulting biomimetic mPDA@CMs NPs-CQ system could escape macrophage phagocytosis, overcome the vascular barrier, and home in the homologous prostate tumor xenograft with high tumor targeting and penetrating efficiency. The mPDA NPs core endowed the mPDA@CMs NPs-CQ with good photothermal capability to mediate PTT killing of prostate cancer cells, while NIR-triggered CQ release from the nanosystem further arrested PTT-induced protective autophagy of cancer cells, thus weakening the resistance of prostate cancer cells to PTT. This combined PTT killing and autophagy blocking anticancer strategy could induce significant autophagosome accumulation, ROS generation, mitochondrial damage, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptotic signal transduction, which finally results in synergistic prostate tumor ablation in vivo. This prostate cancer biomimetic nanosystem with synergistically enhanced anticancer efficiency achieved by manipulating PTT killing and autophagy blocking is expected to serve as a more effective anticancer strategy against prostate cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Autophagy is considered as one of the most efficient rescuer and reinforcement mechanisms of cancer cells against photothermal therapy (PTT)-induced cancer cell eradication. How to synergistically manipulate autophagy blocking with significant tumor targeting and penetration to enhance PTT-mediated cancer cell killing remains a substantial challenge. Herein, we fabricated a biomimetic nanoplatform by precisely coating homologous cancer cell membranes onto the surface of mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles with encapsulation of the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine for synergistic antitumor treatment with high tumor targeting and penetrating efficiency both in vitro and in vivo. This biomimetic nanosystem with synergistically enhanced anticancer efficiency by manipulating PTT killing and autophagy blocking is expected to serve as a more effective anticancer strategy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the modality for establishing a firm immune response and immunological memory. However, intrinsic limitations of conventional low responsive poor T cell infiltration and immune related adverse effects urge the coupling of cancer nanomedicines with immunotherapy for boosting antitumor response under ultrasound (US) sensitization to mimic dose-limiting toxicities for safe and effective therapy against advanced cancer. US is composed of high-frequency sound waves that mediate targeted spatiotemporal control over release and internalization of the drug. The unconventional US triggered immunogenic nanoengineered arena assists the limited immunogenic dose, limiting toxicities and efficacies. In this Review, we discuss current prospects of enhanced immunotherapy using nanomedicine under US. We highlight how nanotechnology designs and incorporates nanomedicines for the reprogramming of systematic immunity in the tumor microenvironment. We also emphasize the mechanical and biological potential of US, encompassing sonosensitizer activation for enhanced immunotherapeutic efficacies. Finally, the smartly converging combinational platform of US stimulated cancer nanomedicines for amending immunotherapy is summarized. This Review will widen scientists' ability to explore and understand the limiting factors for combating cancer in a precisely customized way.

Abstract
The delicate structure and fantastic functions of biological membranes are the successful evolutionary results of a long-term natural selection process. Their excellent biocompatibility and biofunctionality are widely utilized to construct multifunctional biomedical materials mainly by directly camouflaging materials with single or mixed biological membranes, decorating or incorporating materials with membrane-derived vesicles (e.g., exosomes), and designing multifunctional materials with the structure/functions of biological membranes. Here, the structure-function relationship of some important biological membranes and biomimetic membranes are discussed, such as various cell membranes, extracellular vesicles, and membranes from bacteria and organelles. Selected literature examples of multifunctional biomaterials derived from biological membranes for biomedical applications, such as drug- and gene-delivery systems, tissue-repair scaffolds, bioimaging, biosensors, and biological detection, are also highlighted. These designed materials show excellent properties, such as long circulation time, disease-targeted therapy, excellent biocompatibility, and selective recognition. Finally, perspectives and challenges associated with the clinical applications of biological-membrane-derived materials are discussed.

Abstract
As an important means of tumor immunotherapy, tumor vaccines have achieved exciting results in the past few decades. However, there are still many obstacles that hinder tumor vaccines from achieving maximum efficacy, including lack of tumor antigens, low antigen immunogenicity and poor delivery efficiency. To overcome these challenges, researchers have developed and investigated various new types of tumor antigens with higher antigenic specificity and broader antigen spectrum, such as tumor-specific peptide antigens, tumor lysates, tumor cell membrane, tumor associated exosomes, etc. At the same time, different nanoparticulate delivery platforms have been developed to increase the immunogenicity of the tumor antigens, for example by increasing their targeting efficiency of antigen-presenting cells and lymph nodes, and by co-delivering antigens with adjuvants. In this review, we summarized different types of the tumor antigens that have been reported, and introduced several nanovaccine strategies for increasing the immunogenicity of tumor antigens. The review of recent progress in these fields may provide reference for the follow-up studies of tumor antigen-based cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Numerous factors need to be considered to develop a nanodrug delivery system that is biocompatible, non-toxic, easy to synthesize, cost-effective, and feasible for scale up over and above their therapeutic efficacy. With regards to this, worldwide, exosomes, which are nano-sized vesicles obtained from mammalian cells, are being explored as a biomimetic drug delivery system that has superior biocompatibility and high translational capability. However, the economics of undertaking large-scale mammalian culture to derive exosomal vesicles for translation seems to be challenging and unfeasible. Recently, Bacterial Membrane Vesicles (BMVs) derived from bacteria are being explored as a viable alternative as biomimetic drug delivery systems that can be manufactured relatively easily at much lower costs at a large scale. Until now, BMVs have been investigated extensively as successful immunomodulating agents, but their capability as drug delivery systems remains to be explored in detail. In this review, the use of BMVs as suitable cargo delivery vehicles is discussed with focus on their use for in vivo treatment of cancer and bacterial infections reported thus far. Additionally, the different types of BMVs, factors affecting their synthesis and different cargo loading techniques used in BMVs are also discussed.

Abstract
Biomimetic strategies are useful for designing potent vaccines. Decorating a nanoparticulate adjuvant with cell membrane fragments as the antigen-presenting source exemplifies, such as a promising strategy. For translation, a standardizable, consistent, and scalable approach for coating nanoadjuvant with the cell membrane is important. Here a turbulent mixing and self-assembly method called flash nanocomplexation (FNC) for producing cell membrane-coated nanovaccines in a scalable manner is demonstrated. The broad applicability of this FNC technique compared with bulk-sonication by using ten different core materials and multiple cell membrane types is shown. FNC-produced biomimetic nanoparticles have promising colloidal stability and narrow particle polydispersity, indicating an equal or more homogeneous coating compared to the bulk-sonication method. The potency of a nanovaccine comprised of B16-F10 cancer cell membrane decorating mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with the adjuvant CpG is then demonstrated. The FNC-fabricated nanovaccines when combined with anti-CTLA-4 show potency in lymph node targeting, DC antigen presentation, and T cell immune activation, leading to prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in a melanoma mouse model. This study advances the design of a biomimetic nanovaccine enabled by a robust and versatile nanomanufacturing technique.

Abstract
Inflammation is a crucial part of wound healing and pathogen clearance. However, it can also play a role in exacerbating chronic diseases and cancer progression when not regulated properly. A subset of current innate immune engineering research is focused on how molecules such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids native to a healthy inflammatory response can be harnessed in the context of biomaterial design to promote healing, decrease disease severity, and prolong survival. The engineered biomaterials in this review inhibit inflammation by releasing anti-inflammatory cytokines, sequestering proinflammatory cytokines, and promoting phenotype switching of macrophages in chronic inflammatory disease models. Conversely, other biomaterials discussed here promote inflammation by mimicking pathogen invasion to inhibit tumor growth in cancer models. The form that these biomaterials take spans a spectrum from nanoparticles to large-scale hydrogels to surface coatings on medical devices. Cell-inspired molecules have been incorporated in a variety of creative ways, including loaded into or onto the surface of biomaterials or used as the biomaterials themselves.

Abstract
Surface modification of nanoparticles with cellular protein components is a new biomimetic modification strategy, which utilizes the inherent affinity between homologous cells to introduce the same surface molecules into nanoparticles to improve the targeting performance. In this study, oleic acid (OA)-coated Fe3O4 nanocubes were prepared by a high-temperature thermal decomposition method and modified by 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid (DHCA); then, HeLa cell membranes were introduced onto the surface of the nanocubes through mixed coextrusion to try to endow them with the targeting function of natural cells. The results show that the prepared Fe3O4 nanocubes have high monodispersity, excellent water solubility, and biocompatibility. Moreover, the Fe3O4 nanocubes encapsulated by cellular protein show an obvious core-shell structure and the specific targeting property to HeLa cells is improved significantly, which is expected to be used in clinical targeted diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Nanotechnology provides synthetic carriers for cancer drug delivery that protect cargos from degradation, control drug release and increase local accumulation at tumors. However, these non-natural vehicles display poor tumor targeting and potential toxicity and are eliminated by the immune system. Recently, biomimetic nanocarriers have been widely developed based on the concept of ‘mimicking nature.’ Among them, cell-derived biomimetic vehicles have become the focus of bionics research because of their multiple natural functions, such as low immunogenicity, long circulation time and targeting ability. Cell membrane-coated carriers and extracellular vesicles are two widely used cell-based biomimetic materials. Here, this review summarizes the latest progress in the application of these two biomimetic carriers in targeted cancer therapy. Their properties and performance are compared, and their future challenges and development prospects are discussed.

Abstract
Over the past decades, great interest has been given to biomimetic nanoparticles (BNPs) since the rise of targeted drug delivery systems and biomimetic nanotechnology. Biological vectors including cell membranes, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and viruses are considered promising candidates for targeted delivery owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. BNPs, the integration of biological vectors and functional agents, are anticipated to load cargos or camouflage synthetic nanoparticles to achieve targeted delivery. Despite their excellent intrinsic properties, natural vectors are deliberately modified to endow multiple functions such as good permeability, improved loading capability, and high specificity. Through structural modification and transformation of the vectors, they are pervasively utilized as more effective vehicles that can deliver contrast agents, chemotherapy drugs, nucleic acids, and genes to target sites for refractory disease therapy. This review summarizes recent advances in targeted delivery vectors based on cell membranes, EVs, and viruses, highlighting the potential applications of BNPs in the fields of biomedical imaging and therapy industry, as well as discussing the possibility of clinical translation and exploitation trend of these BNPs.

Abstract
PEGylated stealth nanoparticles have emerged as promising drug delivery carrier for cancer therapy. In this study, natural polycationic chitosan was grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to improve the water-solubility and long-circulation. Then PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles were formed by electrostatic interaction between sulfonic acid group of anionic functional polymer and protic amino group of PEGylated chitosan, using polyelectrolyte complex method. Effects of various factors on particle size and distribution, and the stability, biocompatibility, long-circulation ability were investigated. The results showed that when the concentration of PEGylated chitosan and anionic polymer was 0.20 mg/mL, pH of PEGylated chitosan was 5.0, pH of polymer was 5.5 and molar ratio (S/N) was 0.83, particle size of the prepared nanoparticles was 261.2 ± 5.5 nm with pdI of 0.070. Nanoparticles were relatively stable for more than 4 days under pH < 7.0 and normal saline conditions. The results of cytotoxicity experiments showed that the toxicity of PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles was greatly reduced, which met the basic requirements of biomedical materials. The cellular uptake efficiency of PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles was about 4 times lower than that of conventional chitosan nanoparticles, which indicated long circulation time of PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles in the blood. It was expected that this kind of stealth nanoparticles would have a broad application prospect in the field of drug delivery system.

Abstract
The emergence of nanoscale drug delivery systems provides new opportunities for targeting the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and has achieved excellent results. In recent years, with the rise in the concept of intelligent drug delivery systems, the design and preparation of carriers have become more and more complicated, which is not conducive to clinical transformation. Researchers are gradually focused on biomimetic nanoscale drug delivery systems, trying to combine the physicochemical properties of nanoscale carriers with the natural biological functions of endogenous substances, so as to boost tumor targeting delivery. In this article, we first classify and introduce biomimetic nanoscale drug delivery systems, and then emphasize their unique biological functions. The biomimetic nanoscale drug delivery systems have the advantages of simple preparation, powerful functions, and low immunogenicity, having a good application prospect.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based therapeutic and detectable modalities can augment anticancer efficiency, holding potential in capable target and suppressive metastases post administration. However, the individual discrepancies of the current "one-size-fits-all" strategies for anticancer nanotherapeutics have heralded the need for "personalized therapy". Benefiting from the special inherency of various cells, diverse cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMCNs) were established on a patient-by-patient basis, which would facilitate the personalized treatment of individual cancer patients. CMCNs in a complex microenvironment can evade the immune system and target homologous tumors with a suppressed immune response, as well as a prolonged circulation time, consequently increasing the drug accumulation at the tumor site and anticancer therapeutic efficacy. This review focuses on the emerging strategies and advances of CMCNs to synergistically integrate the merit of source cells with nanoparticulate delivery systems for the orchestration of personalized anticancer nanotherapeutics, thus discussing their rationalities in facilitating chemotherapy, imaging, immunotherapy, phototherapy, radiotherapy, sonodynamic, magnetocaloric, chemodynamic and gene therapy. Furthermore, the mechanism, challenges and opportunities of CMCNs in personalized anticancer therapy were highlighted to further boost cooperation from different fields, including materials science, chemistry, medicine, pharmacy and biology for the lab-to-clinic translation of CMCNs combined with the individual advantages of source cells and nanotherapeutics.

Carrier-free highly drug-loaded biomimetic nanosuspensions encapsulated by cancer cell membrane based on homology and active targeting for the treatment of glioma. Bioact Mater 2021; 6:4402-4414. [PMID: 33997516 PMCID: PMC8111096 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.04.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Nanosuspensions, as a new drug delivery system for insoluble drugs, are only composed of a drug and a small amount of stabilizer, which is dispersed in an aqueous solution with high drug-loading, small particle size, high dispersion, and large specific surface area. It can significantly improve the dissolution, bioavailability, and efficacy of insoluble drugs. In this study, paclitaxel nanosuspensions ((PTX)NS) were prepared by an ultrasonic precipitation method, with the characteristics of simple preparation and easy repetition. With the help of a homologous targeting mechanism, a kind of glioma C6 cancer cell membrane (CCM)-coated (PTX)NS was developed and modified with DWSW peptide to obtain DWSW-CCM-(PTX)NS with the functions of BBB penetration and tumor targeting. The results showed that the cancer cell membrane could effectively camouflage the nanosuspensions so that it was not cleared by the immune system and could cross the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and selectively target tumor tissues. Cell uptake experiments and in vivo imaging confirmed that the uptake of DWSW-CCM-(PTX)NS by tumor cells and the distribution in intracranial gliomas increased. Cytotoxicity test and in vivo anti-glioma studies showed that DWSW-CCM-(PTX)NS could significantly inhibit the growth of glioma cells and significantly prolong the survival time of glioma-bearing mice. Finally, the cancer cell membrane coating endowed the nanosuspensions with the biological properties of homologous adhesion and immune escape. This study provides an integrated solution for improving the targeting of nanosuspensions and demonstrates the encouraging potential of biomimetic nanosuspensions applicable to tumor therapy. Paclitaxel nanosuspensions with high drug-loading and without carrier. Biomimetic nanosuspensions wrapped by peptide-modified cancer cell membranes. Penetrate BBB and BBTB to transport drugs to glioma. Dual effects of active and homology targeting improve therapeutic efficiency.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-mediated cancer drug delivery remains an inefficient process. The protein corona formed on nanoparticles (NPs) controls their biological identity and, if optimized, could enhance cancer cell uptake. In this study, a hyperbranched polyester polymer (HBPE) was synthesized from diethyl malonate and used to generate NPs that were subsequently coated with normal sera (NS) collected from mice. Cellular uptake of NS-treated HBPE-NPs was compared to PEGylated HBPE-NPs and was assessed using MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells as well as endothelial and monocytic cell lines. NS-treated HBPE-NPs were taken up by TNBC cells more efficiently than PEGylated HBPE-NPs, while evasion of monocyte uptake was comparable. NS coatings facilitated cancer cell uptake of HBPE-NPs, even after prior interaction of the particles with an endothelial layer. NS-treated HBPE-NPs were not inherently toxic, did not induce the migration of endothelial cells that could lead to angiogenesis, and could efficiently deliver cytotoxic doses of paclitaxel (taxol) to TNBC cells. These findings suggest that HBPE-NPs may adsorb select sera proteins that improve uptake by cancer cells, and such NPs could be used to advance the discovery of novel factors that improve the bioavailability and tissue distribution of drug-loaded polymeric NPs.

Abstract
Platelets, with hemostasis and thrombosis activities, are one of the key components in the blood circulation. As a guard, they rapidly respond to any abnormal blood vessel injury signal and release their granules' contents, which induce their adhesion and aggregation on wound site for hemostasis. Recently, increasing evidence has indicated that platelets are critically involved in the growth and metastasis of cancer cells by releasing a variety of cytokines and chemokines to stimulate cancer cell proliferation and various angiogenic regulators to accelerate tumor angiogenesis. Platelets also secrete active transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) to promote the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cancer cells and their extravasation from primary site, and form microthrombus on the surface of cancer cells to protect them from immune attack and high-speed shear force in the circulation. Therefore, blocking platelet-cancer cell interaction may be an attractive strategy to treat primary tumor and/or prevent cancer metastasis. However, systemic inhibition or depletion of platelets brings risk of severe bleeding complication. Cancer-associated-platelets-targeted nanomedicines and biomimetic nanomedicines coated with platelet membrane can be used for targeted anticancer drug delivery, due to their natural targeting ability to tumor cells and platelets. In the current review, we first summarized the platelet mechanisms of action in physiological condition and their multiple roles in cancer progression and conventional antiplatelet therapeutics. We then highlighted the recent progress on the design and fabrication of cancer-associated-platelet-targeted nanomedicines and platelet membrane coating nanomedicines for cancer therapy. Finally, we discussed opportunities and challenges and offered our thoughts for the future development. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures.

Abstract
Some issues in pharmaceutical therapies such as instability, poor membrane permeability, and bioavailability of drugs can be solved by the design of suitable delivery systems based on the combination of two pillar classes of ingredients: polymers and lipids. At the same time, modern technologies are required to overcome production limitations (low productivity, high energy consumption, expensive setup, long process times) to pass at the industrial level. In this paper, a summary of applications of polymeric and lipid materials combined as nanostructures (hybrid nanocarriers) is reported. Then, recent techniques adopted in the production of hybrid nanoparticles are discussed, highlighting limitations still present that hold back the industrial implementation.

Abstract
In recent years, cell membrane camouflaging technology has emerged as an important strategy of nanomedicine, and the modification on the membranes is also a promising approach to enhance the properties of the nanoparticles, such as cancer targeting, immune evasion, and phototherapy sensitivity. Indeed, diversified approaches have been exploited to re-engineer the membranes of nanoparticles in several studies. In this review, first we discuss direct modification strategy of cell membrane camouflaged nanoparticles (CM-NP) via noncovalent, covalent, and enzyme-involved methods. Second, we explore how the membranes of CM-NPs can be re-engineered at the cellular level using strategies such as genetic engineering and membranes fusion. Due to the innate biological properties and excellent biocompatibility, the functionalized cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles have been widely applied in the fields of drug delivery, imaging, detoxification, detection, and photoactivatable therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is a serious threat to human health. Graphene oxide (GO) is a good carrier for cancer treatment due to its large surface area and high drug loading, while it's unstable under physiological conditions with a high tendency to be uptaken by macrophages in the body. This paper constructs a red blood cell (RBC) membrane modified GO nanocarrier system for cancer chemotherapy. After the modification of RBC, the stability and hemolysis performance of GO were greatly improved, which is beneficial to the biological application. Moreover, DOX-loaded RBC-GO still able to maintain good stability with a pH-dependent DOX release profile. RBC-GO can be uptaken by MCF-7 cells and DOX-loaded RBC-GO nanocomposites have strong concentration-dependent cytotoxicity. More importantly, in vivo study showed that RBC-GO can accumulate at the tumor site in a large quantity, and among all the experimental groups, RBC-GO-DOX had the best anti-tumor effect after tail vein injection in mice and the lowest systemic toxicity. Experiments have proved that RBC-GO can be used as a drug carrier to achieve targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
With the changing face of healthcare, there is a demand for drug delivery systems that have increased efficacy and biocompatibility. Nanotechnology derived drug carrier systems were found to be ideal candidates to meet these demands. Among the vast number of nanosized delivery systems, biomimetic nanoparticles have been researched at length. These nanoparticles mimic cellular functions and are highly biocompatible. They are also able to avoid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system which increases the time spent by them in the systemic circulation. Additionally, their low immunogenicity and targeting ability increase their significance as drug carriers. Based on their core material we have summarized them as biomimetic inorganic nanoparticles, biomimetic polymeric nanoparticles, and biomimetic lipid nanoparticles. The core then may be coated using membranes derived from erythrocytes, cancer cells, leukocytes, stem cells, and other membranes to endow them with biomimetic properties. They can be used for personalized therapy and diagnosis of a large number of diseases, primarily cancer. This review summarizes the various therapeutic approaches using biomimetic nanoparticles along with their applications in the field of cancer imaging, nucleic acid therapy and theranostic properties. A brief overview about toxicity concerns related to these nanoconstructs has been added to provide knowledge about biocompatibility of such nanoparticles.

Abstract
Black phosphorus-based nanomaterials (BPNMs), an emerging member of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, possess excellent physicochemical properties and hold great potential for application in advanced nanomedicines. However, the bare BPNMs easily decrease their biomedical activities due to their degradability and in vivo interactions with biological macromolecules such as plasma proteins, largely restricting their biomedical application. A variety of surface modifications, via chemical, physical or biological approaches, have been developed for BPNMs to avoid these limitations and achieve stable, long-lasting and safe therapeutic effects, thus enlighten the development of the multifunctional BPNMs for more practical application in the field of biomedicine. The present review summarizes the recent advances in the surface modification of BPNMs and the resultant expansion of their biomedical applications. Focus is put on the strategy and method of modification while the effects incurred on the behavior and potential toxicity of BPNMs are also included. The future and challenge of the surface modification of the therapeutic BPNMs are finally discussed.

[PMID: 33296794 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.120564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 11/12/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Glioma stem cells (GSCs), as a subpopulation of stem cell-like cells, have been proposed to play a crucial role in the progression of drug-resistance in glioblastoma (GBM). Therefore, the targeted eradication of GSCs can serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for the reversal of drug-resistance in GBM. Herein, the effects of silencing c-Myc and m-TOR on primary GBM cells extracted from patients were investigated. Results confirmed that dual inhibition treatment significantly (p < 0.05) and synergistically suppressed GSCs, and consequently reversed TMZ-resistance when compared with the single treatment group. Subsequently, to facilitate effective crossing of the BBB, a biological camouflaged cascade brain-targeting nanosystem (PMRT) was created. The PMRT significantly inhibited tumor growth and extended the lifespan of orthotopic transplantation TMZ-resistant GBM-grafted mice. Our data demonstrated that PMRT could precisely facilitate drug release at the tumor site across the BBB. Simultaneously, c-Myc and m-TOR could serve as synergistic targets to eradicate the GSCs and reverse GBM resistance to TMZ.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have received increasing interest due to their tunable particle size, large surface area, stable framework, and easy surface modification. They are increasingly being used in varying applications as delivery vehicles including bio-imaging, drug delivery, biosensors and tissue engineering etc. Precise structure control and the ability to modify surface properties of MSNs are important for their applications. This review summarises the different synthetic methods for the preparation of well-ordered MSNs with tunable pore volume as well as the approaches of drugs loading, especially highlighting the facile surface functionalization for various purposes and versatile biomedical applications in oncology. Finally, the challenges of clinical transformation of MSNs-based nanomedicines are further discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cell-based delivery systems offer considerable promise as novel and innovative therapeutics to target the respiratory system. These systems consist of cells and/or their extracellular vesicles that deliver their contents, such as anti-microbial peptides, micro RNAs, and even mitochondria to the lung, exerting direct therapeutic effects. AREAS COVERED The purpose of this article is to critically review the status of cell-based therapies in the delivery of therapeutics to the lung, evaluate current progress, and elucidate key challenges to the further development of these novel approaches. An overview as to how these cells and/or their products may be modified to enhance efficacy is given. More complex delivery cell-based systems, including cells or vesicles that are genetically modified to (over)express specific therapeutic products, such as proteins and therapeutic nucleic acids are also discussed. Focus is given to the use of the aerosol route to deliver these products directly into the lung. EXPERT OPINION The use of biological carriers to deliver chemical or biological agents demonstrates great potential in modern medicine. The next generation of drug delivery systems may comprise 'cell-inspired' drug carriers that are entirely synthetic, developed using insights from cell-based therapeutics to overcome limitations of current generation synthetic carriers.

Abstract
HER2 overexpression, which occurs in a fifth of diagnosed breast cancers as well as in other types of solid tumors, has been traditionally linked to greater aggressiveness. Nevertheless, the clinical introduction of trastuzumab has helped to improve HER2-positive patients' outcomes. As a consequence, nanotechnology has taken advantage of the beneficial effects of the administration of this antibody and has employed it to develop HER2-targeting nanomedicines with promising therapeutic activity and limited toxicity. In this review, the molecular pathways that could be responsible for trastuzumab antitumor activity will be briefly summarized. In addition, since the conjugation strategies that are followed to develop targeting nanomedicines are essential to maintaining their efficacy and tolerability, the ones most employed to decorate drug-loaded nanoparticles and liposomes with trastuzumab will be discussed here. Thus, the advantages and disadvantages of performing this trastuzumab conjugation through adsorption or covalent bindings (through carbodiimide, maleimide, and click-chemistry) will be described, and several examples of targeting nanovehicles developed following these strategies will be commented on. Moreover, conjugation methods employed to synthesized trastuzumab-based antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), among which T-DM1 is well known, will be also examined. Finally, although trastuzumab-decorated nanoparticles and liposomes and trastuzumab-based ADCs have proven to have better selectivity and efficacy than loaded drugs, trastuzumab administration is sometimes related to side toxicities and the apparition of resistances. For this reason also, this review focuses at last on the important role that newer antibodies and peptides are acquiring these days in the development of HER2-targeting nanomedicines.
