Abstract
The number of people suffering from temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) has been increasing. TMJOA cause joint noise, pain on TMJ and/or masticatory muscles, and restricted mandibular movement, which disturb eating, laughing and conversation, and impose serious lifestyle impediments. Chondrocyte apoptosis, extracellular matrix degradation, synovitis, and subchondral bone remodeling are the main pathological features of TMJOA. Various drug delivery systems are developed to controlled release at specific activation sites with high bioactivity and inhibit rapid dilution to enable long-term therapeutic response, which present great potential for the treatment of TMJOA. This review focuses on recently developed drug delivery systems by different administration in the TMJOA treatment, and summarizes their effects, duration, safety, and limitations, which would pave the way for development of TMJOA therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic strategy for tumor ablation by generating highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to damage DNA and other biomacromolecules. However, the local hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor and the presence of ROS-defensing system, such as the mobilization of mutt homolog 1 (MTH1) to sanitize ROS-oxidized nucleotide pool, severely limit the efficiency of PDT. Therefore, a novel tumor ablation strategy was developed that not only focused on the enhancement of ROS generation but also weakened the ROS-defensing system by inhibiting MTH1 enzyme activity. In our work, a simple one-step reduction approach was applied to enable platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) with catalase activity to grow in situ in the nanochannels of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). After physical encapsulation of photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and MTH1 inhibitor TH588, the drug loading nanoplatform was modified with an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) functionalized liposome shell, resulting in the fabrication of amplified oxidative damage nanoplatform MSN-Pt@Ce6/TH588 @Liposome-RGD (MPCT@Li-R). The prepared MPCT@Li-R NPs could continuously catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen (O2) in tumor, thus promoting the generation of singlet oxygen during PDT process for improved oxidative damage of bases. Simultaneously, acid responsive released TH588 hindered MTH1-mediated scavenging of oxidative bases, further aggravating DNA oxidative damage. Consequently, this cascade therapy strategy exhibited excellent tumor suppression efficiency both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Total joint replacement (TJR) is widely applied as a promising treatment for the reconstruction of serious joint diseases but is usually characterized by critical loss of skeletal muscle attachment to metal joint prostheses, resulting in fibrous scar tissue formation and subsequent motor dysfunction. Tissue engineering technology may provide a potential strategy for skeletal muscle regeneration into metal joint prostheses. Here, a porous titanium (Ti) alloy scaffold coated with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) through electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was designed as a mechano-growth factor (MGF) carrier. This two-layered coating exhibits a nanostructured topology, excellent MGF loading, and prolonged release performance via covalent bonding to improve myoblast adhesion, proliferation and myogenic differentiation in porous Ti alloy scaffolds without cytotoxicity. The Akt/mTOR signaling pathway plays a key role in this process. Furthermore, in vivo studies show that the scaffold promotes the growth of muscle, rather than fibrotic tissue, into the porous Ti alloy structure and improves muscle-derived mechanical properties, the migration of satellite cells, and possibly immunomodulation. In summary, this nanomaterial-coated scaffold provides a practical biomaterial platform to regenerate periprosthetic muscle tissue and restore comparable motor function to that of the natural joint.

Abstract
10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) is a natural plant alkaloid from Camptotheca that shows potent antitumor activity by targeting intracellular topoisomerase I. However, factors such as instability of the lactone ring and insolubility in water have limited the clinical application of this drug. In recent years, unprecedented advances in biomedical nanotechnology have facilitated the development of nano drug delivery systems. It has been found that nanomedicine can significantly improve the stability and water solubility of HCPT. NanoMedicines with different diagnostic and therapeutic functions have been developed to significantly improve the anticancer effect of HCPT. In this paper, we collected reports on HCPT nanomedicines against tumors in the past decade. Based on current research advances, we dissected the current status and limitations of HCPT nanomedicines development and looked forward to future research directions.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has emerged in the past decade as a promising strategy for treating many forms of cancer by stimulating the patient's immune system. Although immunotherapy has achieved some promising results in clinics, more efforts are required to improve the limitations of current treatments related to lack of effective and targeted cancer antigens delivery to immune cells, dose-limiting toxicity, and immune-mediated adverse effects, among others. In recent years, the use of nanomaterials has proven promising to enhance cancer immunotherapy efficacy and reduce side effects. Among nanomaterials, attention has been recently paid to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as a potential multiplatform for enhancing cancer immunotherapy by considering their unique properties, such as high porosity, and good biocompatibility, facile surface modification, and self-adjuvanticity. This review explores the role of MSN and other nano/micro-materials as an emerging tool to enhance cancer immunotherapy, and it comprehensively summarizes the different immunotherapeutic strategies addressed to date by using MSN.

Abstract
The discovery of the CRISPR/Cas system and its development into a powerful genome engineering tool have revolutionized the field of molecular biology and generated excitement for its potential to treat a wide range of human diseases. As a gene therapy target, the retina offers many advantages over other tissues because of its surgical accessibility and relative immunity privilege due to its blood-retinal barrier. These features explain the large advances made in ocular gene therapy over the past decade, including the first in vivo clinical trial using CRISPR gene-editing reagents. Although viral vector-mediated therapeutic approaches have been successful, they have several shortcomings, including packaging constraints, pre-existing anti-capsid immunity and vector-induced immunogenicity, therapeutic potency and persistence, and potential genotoxicity. The use of nanomaterials in the delivery of therapeutic agents has revolutionized the way genetic materials are delivered to cells, tissues, and organs, and presents an appealing alternative to bypass the limitations of viral delivery systems. In this review, we explore the potential use of non-viral vectors as tools for gene therapy, exploring the latest advancements in nanotechnology in medicine and focusing on the nanoparticle-mediated delivery of CRIPSR genetic cargo to the retina.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are composed of silicon dioxide, the most abundant compound on Earth, and are used widely in many applications including the food industry, synthetic processes, medical diagnosis, and drug delivery due to their controllable particle size, large surface area, and great biocompatibility. Building on basic synthetic methods, convenient and economical strategies have been developed for the synthesis of SiNPs. Numerous studies have assessed the biomedical applications of SiNPs, including the surface and structural modification of SiNPs to target various cancers and diagnose diseases. However, studies on the in vitro and in vivo toxicity of SiNPs remain in the exploratory stage, and the toxicity mechanisms of SiNPs are poorly understood. This review covers recent studies on the biomedical applications of SiNPs, including their uses in drug delivery systems to diagnose and treat various diseases in the human body. SiNP toxicity is discussed in terms of the different systems of the human body and the individual organs in those systems. This comprehensive review includes both fundamental discoveries and exploratory progress in SiNP research that may lead to practical developments in the future.

Therapeutic success in the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is hindered by the extensive stroma associated to this disease. Stroma is composed of cellular and non-cellular components supporting and evolving with the tumor. One of the most studied mediators of cancer cell-stroma crosstalk is sonic hedgehog (SHh) pathway leading to the intense desmoplasia observed in PDAC tumors. Herein, we demonstrate that the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) containing an SHh inhibitor, cyclopamine (CyP), and the combination of chemotherapeutic drugs (Gemcitabine (Gem)/cisplatin (cisPt)) as the main delivery system for the sequential treatment led to the reduction in tumor stroma along with an improvement in the treatment of PDAC. We synthesized two versions of the MSN-based platform containing the SHh inhibitor (CyP-MSNs) and the drug combination (PEG-Gem-cisPt-MSNs). In vitro and in vivo protein analysis show that CyP-MSNs effectively inhibited the SHh pathway. In addition, the sequential combination of CyP-MSNs followed by PEG-Gem-cisPt-MSNs led to effective stromal modulation, increased access of secondary PEG-Gem-cisPt-MSNs at the tumor site, and improved therapeutic performance in HPAF II xenograft mice. Taken together, our findings support the potential of drug delivery using MSNs for stroma modulation and to prevent pancreatic cancer progression.

Abstract
The treatment of central nervous system (CNS) malignancies, including brain cancers, is limited by a number of obstructions, including the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the heterogeneity and high invasiveness of tumors, the inaccessibility of tissues for early diagnosis and effective surgery, and anti-cancer drug resistance. Therapies employing nanomedicine have been shown to facilitate drug penetration across the BBB and maintain biodistribution and accumulation of therapeutic agents at the desired target site. The application of lipid-, polymer-, or metal-based nanocarriers represents an advanced drug delivery system for a growing group of anti-cancer chemicals. The nanocarrier surface is designed to contain an active ligand (cancer cell marker or antibody)-binding structure which can be modified to target specific cancer cells. Glioblastoma, ependymoma, neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, and primary CNS lymphomas were recently targeted by easily absorbed nanocarriers. The metal- (such as transferrin drug-loaded systems), polymer- (nanocapsules and nanospheres), or lipid- (such as sulfatide-containing nanoliposomes)-based nano-vehicles were loaded with apoptosis- and/or ferroptosis-stimulating agents and demonstrated promising anti-cancer effects. This review aims to discuss effective nanomedicine approaches designed to overcome the current limitations in the therapy of brain cancers and age-dependent neurodegenerative disorders. To accent current obstacles for successful CNS-based cancer therapy, we discuss nanomedicine perspectives and limitations of nanodrug use associated with the specificity of nervous tissue characteristics and the effects nanocarriers have on cognition.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens in farm animals and their zoonotic spread is a concern to both animal agriculture and public health. Apart from antimicrobial resistance (AMR), bacterial pathogens from the genera of Salmonella and Staphylococcus take refuge inside host cells, thereby demanding intervention strategies that can eliminate intracellular MDR pathogens. In this study, seven clinical isolates of Salmonella and Staphylococcus from swine farms were characterized for antibiotic (n = 24) resistance, resistance mechanisms, and virulence characteristics. All isolates showed resistance to one or more antibiotics and S. enterica ser. Typhimurium isolate had the highest resistance to the panel of antibiotics tested. Major resistance mechanisms identified were efflux pump and beta-lactamase enzyme activities. Staphylococcus isolates showed complete hemolysis and strong biofilm formation, while Salmonella isolates caused partial hemolysis, but showed no or weak biofilm formation. MDR isolates of S. aureus M12 and S. enterica ser. Typhimurium bacteria were subsequently tested against combinations of antibiotics and potentiating adjuvants for improved antibacterial efficacy using a checkerboard assay, and their fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) was calculated. A combination of chitosan and silica nanoparticles containing tetracycline (TET) and efflux pump inhibitor chlorpromazine (CPZ), respectively, was characterized for physicochemical properties and effectiveness against MDR Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium isolate. This combination of nano-encapsulated drugs improved the antibacterial efficacy by inhibiting AMR mechanisms (efflux activity, beta-lactamase enzyme activity, and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production) and reducing intracellular pathogen load by 83.02 ± 14.35%. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the promising applicability of nanoparticle-enabled combination therapy to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens encountered in animal agriculture.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) constitutes a major threat to human health, yet most current therapeutics are hindered in achieving desirable clinical outcomes by low bioavailability or serious side effects. Herein, we constructed an enzyme-responsive and macrophage-targeting drug delivery system (SIM@HA-MSN) which can potentially modulate the microenvironment of the atherosclerotic plaques characterized by excessive inflammation and overexpression of hyaluronidase (HAase) for precise AS treatment. More specifically, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were loaded with a lipid-lowering drug simvastatin (SIM) and further gated with hyaluronic acid (HA) coating, which endowed the nanosystem with HAase responsiveness and targetability to inflammatory macrophages. Our results showed that a high loading efficiency (>20%) and excellent enzyme-responsive release of SIM were simultaneously achieved for the first time by silica-based nanocarriers through formulation optimizations. Moreover, in vitro experiments confirmed that SIM@HA-MSN possessed robust targeting, anti-inflammatory, and anti-foaming effects, along with low cytotoxicity and excellent hemocompatibility. In addition, preliminary animal experiments demonstrated the as-established nanosystem had a long plasma-retention time and good biocompatibility in vivo. Taken together, SIM@HA-MSN with HA playing triple roles including gatekeeping, lesion-targeting, and long-circulating holds great potential for the management of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The treatment and management of tuberculosis using conventional drug delivery systems remain challenging due to the setbacks involved. The lengthy and costly treatment regime and patients' non-compliance have led to drug-resistant tuberculosis, which is more difficult to treat. Also, anti-tubercular drugs currently used are poor water-soluble drugs with low bioavailability and poor therapeutic efficiency except at higher doses which causes drug-related toxicity. Novel drug delivery carrier systems such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been identified as nanomedicines capable of addressing the challenges mentioned due to their biocompatibility. The review discusses the sol-gel synthesis and chemistry of MSNs as porous drug nanocarriers, surface functionalization techniques and the influence of their physico-chemical properties on drug solubility, loading and release kinetics. It outlines the physico-chemical characteristics of MSNs encapsulated with anti-tubercular drugs.

Abstract
Employment of mesoporous silica nanostructures (MSNs) in the drug delivery field has shown a significant potential for improving the oral delivery of active pharmaceutical products with low solubility in water. Mirtazapine (MRT) is a tetracyclic antidepressant with poor water solubility (BCS Class II), which was recently approved as a potent drug used to treat severe depression. The principle of this research is to optimize the incorporation of Mirtazapine into MSNs to improve its aqueous solubility, loading efficiency, release performance, and subsequent bioavailability. The formulation was optimized by using of Box-Behnken Design, which allows simultaneous estimation of the impact of different types of silica (SBA-15, MCM-41, and Aluminate-MCM-41), a different drug to silica ratios (33.33%, 49.99%, and 66.66%), and different drug loading procedures (Incipient wetness, solvent evaporation, and solvent impregnation) on the MRT loading efficiency, aqueous solubility and dissolution rate. The optimized formula was achieved by loading MRT into SBA-15 at 33.33% drug ratio prepared by the incipient wetness method, which displayed a loading efficiency of 104.05%, water solubility of 0.2 mg/ml, and 100% dissolution rate after 30 min. The pharmacokinetic profile of the optimized formula was obtained by conducting the in-vivo study in rabbits which showed a marked improvement (2.14-fold) in oral bioavailability greater than plain MRT. The physicochemical parameters and morphology of the optimized formula were characterized by; gas adsorption manometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), polarized light microscopy (PLM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD).

Abstract
Atomistic level characterisation of external surface species of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) poses a significant analytical challenge due to the inherently low content of grafted ligands. This study proposes the use of HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy for a molecular level characterisation of the external surface of carbohydrate-functionalised nanoparticles. MSN differing in size (32 nm, 106 nm, 220 nm) were synthesised using the sol-gel method. The synthesised materials displayed narrow particle size distribution (based on DLS and TEM results) and a hexagonal arrangement of the pores with a diameter of ca. 3 nm as investigated with PXRD and N2 physisorption. The surface of the obtained nanoparticles was functionalised with galactose and lactose using reductive amination as confirmed by FTIR and NMR techniques. The functionalisation of the particles surface did not alter the pore architecture, structure or morphology of the materials as confirmed with TEM imaging. HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy was used for the first time to investigate the structure of the functionalised MSN suspended in D2O. Furthermore, lactose was successfully attached to the silica without breaking the glycosidic bond. The results demonstrate that HR-MAS NMR can provide detailed structural information on the organic functionalities attached at the external surface of MSN within short experimental times.

Abstract
Dexamethasone (DEX) has been widely used to treat a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, allergies, ocular disorders, cancer, and, more recently, COVID-19. However, DEX usage is often restricted in the clinic due to its poor water solubility. When administered through a systemic route, it can elicit severe side effects, such as hypertension, peptic ulcers, hyperglycemia, and hydro-electrolytic disorders. There is currently much interest in developing efficient DEX-loaded nanoformulations that ameliorate adverse disease effects inhibiting advancements in scientific research. Various nanoparticles have been developed to selectively deliver drugs without destroying healthy cells or organs in recent years. In the present review, we have summarized some of the most attractive applications of DEX-loaded delivery systems, including liposomes, polymers, hydrogels, nanofibers, silica, calcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite. This review provides our readers with a broad spectrum of nanomedicine approaches to deliver DEX safely.

Toxicity Assessment of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles upon Intravenous Injection in Mice: Implications for Drug Delivery. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14050969. [PMID: 35631554 PMCID: PMC9148138 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14050969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Nanoparticles are popular tools utilized to selectively deliver drugs and contrast agents for identification and treatment of disease. To determine the usefulness and translational potential of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), further evaluations of toxicity are required. MSNs are among the most utilized nano-delivery systems due to ease of synthesis, pore structure, and functionalization. This study aims to elucidate toxicity as a result of intravenous injection of 25 nm MSNs coated with chitosan (C) or polyethylene glycol (PEG) in mice. Following acute and chronic injections, blood was evaluated for standard blood chemistry and complete blood count analyses. Blood chemistry results primarily indicated that no abnormalities were present following acute or chronic injections of MSNs, or C/PEG-coated MSNs. After four weekly administered treatments, vital organs showed minor exacerbation of pre-existing lesions in the 35KPEG-MSN and moderate exacerbation of pre-existing lesions in uncoated MSN and 2KPEG-MSN treatment groups. In contrast, C-MSN treatment groups had minimal changes compared to controls. This study suggests 25 nm MSNs coated with chitosan should elicit minimal toxicity when administered as either single or multiple intravenous injections, but MSNs coated with PEG, especially 2KPEG may exacerbate pre-existing vascular conditions. Further studies should evaluate varying sizes and types of nanoparticles to provide a better overall understanding on the relation between nanoparticles and in vivo toxicity.

Abstract
3D printing has been explored as an emerging technology for the development of versatile and printable materials for drug delivery. However, the alliance of 3D printing and nanomaterials has, to date, been little explored in pharmaceutics. Herein, a mesoporous silica with nanostructured pores, SBA-15, was used as a drug carrier for triamcinolone acetonide, a hydrophobic drug, with the aim of incorporating the drug formulation in a hydrophilic printable ink. The adsorption of the drug in the SBA-15 pores was confirmed by the decrease in its surface area and pore volume, along with an increase in the apparent aqueous solubility of triamcinolone acetonide, as shown by in vitro release studies. Thereafter, a hydrophilic ink composed of carboxymethyl cellulose containing drug-loaded SBA-15 was formulated and 3D printed as hydrophilic polymeric film using the semisolid extrusion technique (SSE). The 3D printed films showed complete drug release after 12 h, and the presence of the triamcinolone acetonide-loaded SBA-15 improved their in vitro mucoadhesion, suggesting their promising application in oral mucosa treatments. Besides representing an innovative platform to develop water-based mucoadhesive formulations containing a hydrophobic drug, this is the first report proposing the development of SSE 3D printed nanomedicines containing drug-loaded mesoporous silica.

Abstract
Chronic osteomyelitis (COM) is an inflammatory bone disease caused by bacterial infection. Conventional treatment with antibiotics is prone to resistance and other side effects, and it is ineffective against inflammation caused by infection and bone loss. To treat COM comprehensively, based on the acidic microenvironment of osteomyelitis, we used ZIF-8 and celecoxib to construct a multifunctional intelligent drug release system with pH response effect, named CEL@ZIF-8. Material characterization revealed that celecoxib is successfully loaded into ZIF-8. Ion release and drug release experiments indicated that CEL@ZIF-8 can respond well to the pH and intelligently control the release of ions and drugs. Antibacterial assays manifested that CEL@ZIF-8 is able to inhibit the growth of bacteria significantly. In vitro cell experiments demonstrated that CEL@ZIF-8 can significantly up-regulate the expression of osteogenesis-related cytokines and down-regulate the levels of inflammatory factors. Studies verify that the novel drug release system possesses multiple functions: antibacterial, osteogenesis, anti-inflammatory and intelligent release, suggesting a tremendous clinical promise for the treatment of COM.

Multifunctional Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Oral Drug Delivery. COATINGS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/coatings12030358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Nanotechnology has transformed engineering designs across a wide spectrum of materials and applications. Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSNs) are one of the new fabrications of nanostructures as medication delivery systems. MSNs have pore sizes varying from 2 to 50 nm, making them ideal for a variety of biological applications. They offer unique characteristics such as a tunable surface area, well-defined surface properties, and the ability to improve drug pharmacokinetic characteristics. Moreover, they have the potential to reduce adverse effects by delivering a precise dose of medications to a specific spot rather than the more frequent systemic delivery, which diffuses across tissues and organs. In addition, the vast number of pores allow drug incorporation and transportation of drugs to various sites making MSNs a feasible platform for orally administered drugs. Though the oral route is the most suitable and convenient platform for drug delivery, conventional oral drug delivery systems are associated with several limitations. Surpassing gastrointestinal barriers and the low oral bioavailability of poorly soluble medicines pose a major challenge in the pharmaceutical industry. This review provides insights into the role of MSNs and its mechanism as an oral drug delivery system.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive cerebral tumor in adults. However, the current pharmaceuticals in GBM treatment are mainly restricted to few chemotherapeutic drugs and have limited efficacy. Therefore, various nanoscale biomaterials that possess distinct structure and unique property were constructed as vehicles to precisely deliver molecules with potential therapeutic effect. In this review, nanoparticle drug delivery systems including CNTs, GBNs, C-dots, MOFs, Liposomes, MSNs, GNPs, PMs, Dendrimers and Nanogel were exemplified. The advantages and disadvantages of these nanoparticles in GBM treatment were illustrated.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is a promising modality of treatment for cancer. Immunotherapy is comprised of systemic and local treatments that induce an immune response, allowing the body to fight back against cancer. Systemic treatments such as cancer vaccines harness antigen presenting cells (APCs) to activate T cells with tumor-associated antigens. Small molecule inhibitors can be employed to inhibit immune checkpoints, disrupting tumor immunosuppression and immune evasion. Despite the current efficacy of immunotherapy, improvements to delivery can be made. Nanomaterials such as mesoporous silica can facilitate the advancement of immunotherapy. Mesoporous silica has high porosity, decent biocompatibility, and simple surface functionalization. Mesoporous silica can be utilized as a versatile carrier of various immunotherapeutic agents. This review gives an introduction on mesoporous silica as a nanomaterial, briefly covering synthesis and biocompatibility, and then an overview of the recent progress made in the application of mesoporous silica to cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Ceramic (nano)materials are promising materials for bone regeneration applications. The addition of bioinorganics such as strontium (Sr) and zinc (Zn) is a popular approach to further improve their biological performance. However, control over ion delivery is important to prevent off-target effects. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are popular nanomaterials that can be designed to incorporate and controllably deliver multiple ions to steer specific regenerative processes. In this work, MSNs loaded with Sr (MSNSr ) and surface coated with a pH-sensitive calcium phosphate (MSNSr -CaP) or calcium phosphate zinc layer (MSNSr -CaZnP) are developed. The ability of the MSNs to promote osteogenesis in human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) under basic cell culture conditions is explored and compared to ion administration directly to the cell culture media. Here, it is shown that MSN-CaPs can effectively induce alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and osteogenic gene expression in the absence of other osteogenic stimulants, where an improved effect is observed for MSNs surface coated with multiple ions. Moreover, comparatively lower ion doses are needed when using MSNs as delivery vehicles compared to direct ion administration in the medium. In summary, the MSNs developed here represent promising vehicles to deliver (multiple) bioinorganics and promote hMSC osteogenesis in basic conditions.

Abstract
Combinational therapy using chemodynamictherapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is known to enhance the therapeutic outcome for cancer treatment. In this study, a biocompatible nano formulation was developed by coating polydopamine (PDA) over doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded copper-substituted mesoporous silica (CuMSN) nanoparticles. PDA coating not only allowed selective photothermal properties with an extended DOX release but also enhanced the water solubility and biocompatibility of the nanocomposites. The nanocomposites displayed a monodispersed shape and pH-dependent release characteristics, with an outstanding photothermal conversion and excellent tumor cell inhibition. The cellular-uptake experiments of CuMSN@DOX@PDA in A549 cells indicated that nanoparticles (NPs) aided in the enhanced DOX uptake in tumor cells compared to free DOX with synergistic anti-cancer effects. Moreover, the cell-viability studies displayed remarkable tumor inhibition in combinational therapy over monotherapy. Thus, the synthesized CuMSN@DOX@PDA NPs can serve as a promising platform for dual cancer therapy.

Abstract
The biocompatible nature of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) attracted researchers' attention to deliver therapeutic agents in the treatment of various diseases, where their porous nature, high drug loading efficiency, and suitability to functionalize with a specific ligand of MSN helped to obtain the desired outcome. The application of MSN has been extended to deliver small chemicals to large-sized peptides or proteins to fight against complex diseases. Recently, formulation researches with MSN have been progressed for various non-conventional drug delivery systems, including liposome, microsphere, oro-dispersible film, 3D-printed formulation, and microneedle. Low bulk density, retaining mesoporous structure during downstream processing, and lack of sufficient in vivo studies are some of the important issues towards the success of mesoporous silica-based advanced drug delivery systems. The present review has aimed to evaluate the application of MSN in advanced drug delivery systems to critically analyze the role of MSN in the respective formulation over other functionalized polymers. Finally, an outlook on the future direction of MSN-based advanced drug delivery systems has been drawn against the existing challenges with this platform.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an intractable malignancy with a dismal survival rate. Recent combination therapies have had a major impact on the improvement of PDAC prognosis. Nevertheless, clinically used combination regimens such as FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine (Gem)/nab-paclitaxel still face major challenges due to lack of the safe and ratiometric delivery of multiple drugs. Here, a rationally designed mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-based platform is reported for the target-specific, spatiotemporal, ratiometric, and safe co-delivery of Gem and cisplatin (cisPt). It is shown that systemic administration of the nanoparticles results in synergistic therapeutic outcome in a syngeneic and clinically relevant genetically engineered PDAC mouse model that has rarely been used for the therapeutic evaluation of nanomedicine. This synergism is associated with a strategic engineering approach, in which nanoparticles provide redox-responsive controlled delivery and in situ differential release of Gem/cisPt drugs with the goal of overcoming resistance to Pt-based drugs. The platform is also rendered with additional tumor-specificity via a novel tumor-associated mucin1 (tMUC1)-specific antibody, TAB004. Overall, the platform suppresses tumor growth and eliminates the off-target toxicities of a highly toxic chemotherapy combination.

Abstract
Amorphization is one of the most effective pharmaceutical approaches to enhance the dissolution and oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. In recent years, amorphous formulations have been experiencing rapid development both in theoretical and practical application. Based on using different types of stabilizing agents, amorphous formulations can be mainly classified as polymer-based amorphous solid dispersion, coamorphous formulation, mesoporous silica-based amorphous formulation, etc. This paper summarizes recent advances in the dissolution and supersaturation of these amorphous formulations. Moreover, we also highlight the roles of stabilizing agents such as polymers, low molecular weight co-formers, and mesoporous silica. Maintaining supersaturation in solution is a key factor for the enhancement of dissolution profile and oral bioavailability, and thus, the strategies and challenges for maintaining supersaturation are also discussed. With an in-depth understanding of the inherent mechanisms of dissolution behaviors, the design of amorphous pharmaceutical formulations will become more scientific and reasonable, leading to vigorous development of commercial amorphous drug products.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), the main components of infiltrating leukocytes in tumors, often play a key role in promoting cancer development and progression. The tumor-specific microenvironment forces the phenotype of tumor-infiltrating to evolve in a direction favorable to tumor development, that is, the generation of M2-like TAMs. Consequently, the dual intervention of cancer cells and tumor microenvironment has become a research hotspot in the field of tumor immunotherapy. In this contribution, we developed pH-sensitive mesoporous calcium silicate nanocomposites (MCNs) encapsulated with indocyanine green (ICG) to enable the effective combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) triggered by the 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light. The mannose and hyaluronic acid-grafted MCNs specifically targeted TAMs and tumor cells and promoted cell apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. This paper revealed that irradiation of ICG loaded MCNs with NIR can produce a potent hyperthermia and induce abundant intracellular singlet oxygen generation in the target cells. These results suggest that the novel nanoplatform is believed to facilitate the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the tumor microenvironment (TME) to enhance the effects of tumor treatment.

Abstract
Background Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with 40% occurring in the oral cavity. Although the level of early diagnosis and treatment of OSCC has improved significantly, the five-year survival rate of advanced patients remains unsatisfactory. However, the main challenges before us are how to get an early and accurate diagnosis and how to formulate effective treatment. Nanoparticle-based chemo-photothermal therapy has proven to be a promising non-invasive approach to treating oral squamous cell carcinoma treatment. Methods In this study, we tried to design and synthesize multifunctional hyaluronic acid (HA) modified gold nanorods/mesoporous silica-based nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided cooperative chemo-photothermal therapy. Results The resultant nanocomposite shows favorable biocompatibility, relatively low cytotoxicity, ideal drug loading capability and strong PAI signals. In addition, they showed an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 49.02% for photothermal therapy (PTT). Moreover, in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy has better therapeutic effects than chemotherapy alone or PTT (P < 0.05). After being injected into the CAL-27 tumor-bearing mice, the DOX-AuNRs@mSiO2-HA nanoparticles could accumulate rapidly at the tumor sites and achieve complete ablation of tumors when combined with near-infrared laser irradiation, without obvious side effects on normal tissues. Conclusion Our research provides a solid demonstration of the potential of DOX-AuNRs@mSiO2-HA as a multifunctional platform in PAI-guided photothermal chemotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Background Because enzymes can control several metabolic pathways and regulate the production of free radicals, their simultaneous use with nanoplatforms showing protective and combinational properties is of great interest in the development of therapeutic nano-based platforms. However, enzyme immobilization on nanomaterials is not straightforward due to the toxic and unpredictable properties of nanoparticles in medical practice. Aim of review In fact, because of the ability to load enzymes on nano-based supports and increase their renewability, scientific groups have been tempted to create potential therapeutic enzymes in this field. Therefore, this study not only pays attention to the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of diseases by enzyme-nanoparticle (NP) bio-conjugate (abbreviated as: ENB), but also considers the importance of nanoplatforms used based on their toxicity, ease of application and lack of significant adverse effects on loaded enzymes. In the following, based on the published reports, we explained that the immobilization of enzymes on polymers, inorganic metal oxide and hybrid compounds provide hopes for potential use of ENBs in medical activities. Then, the use of ENBs in bioassay activities such as paper-based or wearing biosensors and lab-on-chip/microfluidic biosensors were evaluated. Finally, this review addresses the current challenges and future perspective of ENBs in biomedical applications. Key scientific concepts of review This literature may provide useful information regarding the application of ENBs in biosensing and therapeutic platforms.

A novel versatile flow-donor chamber as biorelevant ex-vivo test assessing oral mucoadhesive formulations. Eur J Pharm Sci 2021; 166:105983.

Abstract
Oral transmucosal drug delivery is a non-invasive administration route for rapid therapeutic onset and greater bioavailability avoiding the first-pass metabolism. Mucoadhesive formulations are advantageous as they may retain the drug at the administration site. Proper equipment to assess mucoadhesive properties and corresponding drug absorption is fundamental for the development of novel drug delivery systems. Here we developed a new flow-through donor chamber for well-established diffusion cells, and we tested the effects on drug and formulation retention in situ of adding mucoadhesive polymers or mesoporous silica particles to a reference formulation. Mesoporous silica particles are of particular interest as they may be used to encapsulate and retain drug molecules. Compared to other ex-vivo methods described in literature for assessing mucoadhesive performance and transmucosal drug delivery, this new donor chamber provides several advantages: i) it reflects physiological conditions better as a realistic saliva flow can be provided over the administration site, ii) it is versatile since it can be mounted on any kind of vertical diffusion cell allowing simultaneous detection of drug retention at the administration site and drug permeation through the tissue, and iii) it enables optical quantification of formulations residence time aided by image processing. This new flow-through donor diffusion cell set-up proved sensitive to differentiate a reference formulation from one where 20 %(w/w) Carbomer was added (to further improve the mucoadhesive properties), with respect to both drug and formulation residence times. We also found that mesoporous silica particles, investigated as particles only and mixed together with the reference formulation, gave very similar drug and formulation retention to what we observed with the mucoadhesive Carbomer. However, after some time (>30 min) it became obvious that the tablet excipients in the reference formulation promote particle retention on the mucosa. This work provides a new simple and versatile biorelevant test for the evaluation of oral mucoadhesive formulations and paves the way for further studies on mesoporous silica particles as valuable excipients for enhancing oral mucoadhesion.

Abstract
The functional silica-based materials functionalized with a strong nitrogen base TBD (SiO2-TBD) deposited via a linker or with a basic poly(amidoamine) dendrimer containing multiple terminal amine groups -NH2 (SiO2-EDA) and functional polymers containing a strong phosphazene base (Polymer-Phosphazene) or another basic poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (PMVEAMA-PAMAM) were tested as sorbents dedicated to a mixture of nitrophenols (p-nitrophenol and 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenol), which are analogs of nitrophenols used in plant growth biostimulants. The adsorptive potential of the studied materials reached 0.102, 0.089, 0.140, and 0.074 g of the nitrophenols g−1, for SiO2-TBD, SiO2-EDA, polymer-phosphazene, and PMVEAMA-PAMAM, respectively. The sorptive efficiency of the analytes, i.e., their adsorption on the functional materials, the desorption from the obtained [(sorbent)H+ − nitrophenolates–] complexes, and interactions with the used soil, were monitored using mass spectrometry (MS) technique with electrospray (ESI) and flowing atmosphere-pressure afterglow (FAPA) ionizations, for the analysis of the aqueous solutions and the solids, respectively. The results showed that the adsorption/desorption progress is determined by the structures of the terminal basic domains anchored to the materials, which are connected with the strength of the proton exchange between the sorbents and nitrophenols. Moreover, the conducted comprehensive MS analyses, performed for both solid and aqueous samples, gave a broad insight into the interactions of the biostimulants and the presented functional materials.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is rapidly sweeping through all the vital fields of science and technology such as electronics, aerospace, defense, medicine, and catalysis. It involves the design, synthesis, characterization, and applications of materials and devices on the nanometer scale. At the nanoscale, physical and chemical properties differ from the properties of the individual atoms and molecules of bulk matter. In particular, the design and development of silica nanomaterials have captivated the attention of several researchers worldwide. The applications of hybrid silicas are still limited by the lack of control on the morphology and particle size. The ability to control both the size and morphology of the materials and to obtain nano-sized silica particles has broadened the spectrum of applications of mesoporous organosilicas and/or has improved their performances. On the other hand, adsorption is a widely used technique for the separation and removal of pollutants (metal ions, dyes, organics,...) from wastewater. Silica nanoparticles have specific advantages over other materials for adsorption applications due to their unique structural characteristics: a stable structure, a high specific surface area, an adjustable pore structure, the presence of silanol groups on the surface which allow easy modification, less environmental harm, simple synthesis, low cost, etc. Silica nanoparticles are potential adsorbents for pollutants. We present herein an overview of the different types of silica nanoparticles going from the definitions to properties, synthetic approaches and the mention of potential applications. We focus mainly on the recent advances in the adsorption of different target substances (metal ions, dyes and other organics).

Abstract
AIM This research aims to develop potential therapeutic nanostructures (NSs) encapsulating metformin (MET) and erlotinib (ER) for combinational therapy in breast cancer. METHODS The ER and MET, both were loaded on mesoporous silica magnetic nanoparticles conjugated with polyethylene glycol and methotrexate to achieve targeted NSs. The developed NSs were characterised using SEM, DLS, and FTIR. Afterward, MTT, Trypan blue, and DNA extraction assays were operated for biological evaluations in the 2D and 3D MCF-7 cells. RESULTS Physicochemical approaches indicated the mean diameter of 69.4 nm ± 9.5 (PDI = 0.64), and neutral charge (2 mv) for the developed NSs. MET and ER-loaded NSs exhibited 62.56% ± 4.41 and 67.73% ± 3.03 drug release amount in pH = 5.4, respectively. MTT assay revealed that ER- and MET-loaded NSs had less metabolic activity (≈ 20%) in comparison with non-targeted NSs. CONCLUSION Overall, our combined ER and MET-loaded targeted NSs result in a synergistic inhibitory impact on MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
The nanotechnology approach has been recently adopted to provide more reliable, effective, controlled, and safe drug delivery systems. Nanostructured materials have gained great interest, including siliceous and carbonaceous nanoparticles. The effectiveness of mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MCNs) in tumor imaging, targeting, and treatment is urging for more future studies. MCNs possess superior properties such as their biocompatibility, large surface area, large pore volume, tunability, and more responsive behavior to internal and external release triggers. These outstanding features make MCNs more applicable for stimuli-responsive drug delivery than the conventional forms of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and other carbon nanoparticles. In this review, we outlined the latest updates regarding the safety, benefits, and potential applications of MCNs.
