Abstract
Globally, breast cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases, inducing critical intimidation to human health. Lipid-based nanomaterials have been successfully demonstrated as drug carriers for breast cancer treatment. To date, the development of a better drug delivery system based on lipid nanomaterials is still urgent to make the treatment and diagnosis easily accessible to breast cancer patients. In a drug delivery system, lipid nanomaterials have revealed distinctive features, including high biocompatibility and efficient drug delivery. Specifically, a targeted drug delivery system based on lipid nanomaterials has inherited the advantage of optimum dosage and low side effects. In this review, insights on currently used potential lipid-based nanomaterials are collected and introduced. The review sheds light on conjugation, targeting, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical significance of lipid-based nanomaterials to treat breast cancer. Furthermore, a brighter side of lipid-based nanomaterials as future potential drug delivery systems for breast cancer therapy is discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing nanoparticles are effective nanomedicines with diverse therapeutic advantages compared with small molecule-based NO donors. Here, we report a new class of furoxan-based NO-releasing nanoparticles using a simple, creative yet facile coassembly approach. This is the first time we demonstrated that the coassembled NO-releasing nanoparticles with poly(ethylene glycol)101-block-poly(propylene glycol)56-block-poly(ethylene glycol)101 (Pluronic F127) had potent antimicrobial efficacies against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Nanoparticles obtained from the coassembly of either 4-(1-(3-methylpentan-5-ol)oxyl)(3-phenylsulfonyl) furoxan (compound 1) or 4-methoxy(3-phenylsulfonyl) furoxan (compound 2) with Pluronic F127 exhibit 4-fold improved antimicrobial activities compared to their self-assembled counterparts without Pluronic F127. 5(6)-Carboxylfluorescein (CF) leakage experiments further reveal that both coassembled NO-releasing nanoparticles show stronger interactions with lipid bilayers than those self-assembled alone. Subsequently, their strong plasma membrane-damaging capabilities are confirmed under both high-resolution optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy characterizations. This coassembly approach could be readily applied to other small molecule-based antimicrobials, providing new solutions and important insights to further antimicrobial recipe design.

Abstract
Changes in the geometry and topology of self-assembled membranes underlie diverse processes across cellular biology and engineering. Similar to lipid bilayers, monolayer colloidal membranes have in-plane fluid-like dynamics and out-of-plane bending elasticity. Their open edges and micrometer-length scale provide a tractable system to study the equilibrium energetics and dynamic pathways of membrane assembly and reconfiguration. Here, we find that doping colloidal membranes with short miscible rods transforms disk-shaped membranes into saddle-shaped surfaces with complex edge structures. The saddle-shaped membranes are well approximated by Enneper's minimal surfaces. Theoretical modeling demonstrates that their formation is driven by increasing the positive Gaussian modulus, which in turn, is controlled by the fraction of short rods. Further coalescence of saddle-shaped surfaces leads to diverse topologically distinct structures, including shapes similar to catenoids, trinoids, four-noids, and higher-order structures. At long timescales, we observe the formation of a system-spanning, sponge-like phase. The unique features of colloidal membranes reveal the topological transformations that accompany coalescence pathways in real time. We enhance the functionality of these membranes by making their shape responsive to external stimuli. Our results demonstrate a pathway toward control of thin elastic sheets' shape and topology-a pathway driven by the emergent elasticity induced by compositional heterogeneity.

Abstract
Cancer therapies have advanced tremendously throughout the last decade, yet multiple factors still hinder the success of the different cancer therapeutics. The traditional therapeutic approach has been proven insufficient and lacking in the suppression of tumor growth. The simultaneous delivery of multiple small-molecule chemotherapeutic drugs and genes improves the effectiveness of each treatment, thus optimizing efficacy and improving synergistic effects. Nanomedicines integrating inorganic, lipid, and polymeric-based nanoparticles have been designed to regulate the spatiotemporal release of the encapsulated drugs. Multidrug-loaded nanocarriers are a potential strategy to fight cancer and the incorporation of co-delivery systems as a feasible treatment method has projected synergistic benefits and limited undesirable effects. Moreover, the development of co-delivery systems for maximum therapeutic impact necessitates better knowledge of the appropriate therapeutic agent ratio as well as the inherent heterogeneity of the cancer cells. Co-delivery systems can simplify clinical processes and increase patient quality of life, even though such systems are more difficult to prepare than single drug delivery systems. This review highlights the progress attained in the development and design of nano carrier-based co-delivery systems and discusses the limitations, challenges, and future perspectives in the design and fabrication of co-delivery systems.

Abstract
Chronic lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and the recently emerged COVID-19, are a huge threat to human health, and among the leading causes of global morbidity and mortality every year. Despite availability of various conventional therapeutics, many patients remain poorly controlled and have a poor quality of life. Furthermore, the treatment and diagnosis of these diseases are becoming increasingly challenging. In the recent years, the application of nanomedicine has become increasingly popular as a novel strategy for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, as well as follow-up of chronic lung diseases. This is attributed to the ability of nanoscale drug carriers to achieve targeted delivery of therapeutic moieties with specificity to diseased site within the lung, thereby enhancing therapeutic outcomes of conventional therapies whilst minimizing the risks of adverse reactions. For this instance, monoolein is a polar lipid nanomaterial best known for its versatility, thermodynamic stability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. As such, it is commonly employed in liquid crystalline systems for various drug delivery applications. In this review, we present the applications of monoolein as a novel nanomaterial-based strategy for targeted drug delivery with the potential to revolutionize therapeutic approaches in chronic lung diseases.

Abstract
Here, we propose tailored lipid liquid-crystalline carriers (cubosomes), which incorporate an anticancer drug (doxorubicin) and complexed short-lived α-emitter (bismuth-213), as a strategy to obtain more effective action toward the cancer cells. Cubosomes were formulated with doxorubicin (DOX) and an amphiphilic ligand (DOTAGA-OA), which forms stable complexes with 213Bi radionuclide. The behavior of DOX incorporated into the carrier together with the chelating agent was investigated, and the drug liberation profile was determined. The experiments revealed that the presence of the DOTAGA-OA ligand affects the activity of DOX when they are incorporated into the same carrier. This unexpected influence was explained based on the results of release studies, which proved the contribution of electrostatics in molecular interactions between the positively charged DOX and negatively charged DOTAGA-OA in acidic and neutral solutions. A significant decrease in the viability of HeLa cancer cells was achieved using sequential cell exposure: first to the radiolabeled cubosomes containing 213Bi complex and next to DOX-doped cubosomes. Therefore, the sequential procedure for the delivery of both drugs encapsulated in cubosomes is suggested for further biological and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are versatile structures with tunable physicochemical properties that are ideally suited as a platform for vaccine delivery and RNA therapeutics. A key barrier to LNP rational design is the inability to relate composition and structure to intracellular processing and function. Here Single Particle Automated Raman Trapping Analysis (SPARTA) is combined with small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS) techniques to link LNP composition with internal structure and morphology and to monitor dynamic LNP-phospholipase D (PLD) interactions. This analysis demonstrates that PLD, a key intracellular trafficking mediator, can access the entire LNP lipid membrane to generate stable, anionic LNPs. PLD activity on vesicles with matched amounts of enzyme substrate is an order of magnitude lower, indicating that the LNP lipid membrane structure can be used to control enzyme interactions. This represents an opportunity to design enzyme-responsive LNP solutions for stimuli-responsive delivery and diseases where PLD is dysregulated.

Abstract
The impact of nanotechnology on the exponential growth of several research areas, particularly nanomedicine, is undeniable. The ability to deliver active molecules to the desired site could significantly improve the efficiency of medical treatments. One of the nanocarriers developed which has drawn researchers' attention are cubosomes, which are nanosized dispersions of lipid bicontinuous cubic phases in water, consisting of a lipidic interior and aqueous domains folded in a cubic lattice. They stand out due to their ability to incorporate hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and amphiphilic compounds, their tortuous internal configuration that provides a sustained release, and the capacity to protect and safely deliver molecules. Several approaches can be taken to prepare this structure, as well as different lipids like monoolein or phytantriol. This review paper describes the different methods to prepare nanocarriers. As it is known, the physicochemical properties of nanocarriers are very important, as they influence their pharmacokinetics and their ability to incorporate and deliver active molecules. Therefore, an extensive characterization is essential to obtain the desired effect. As a result, we have extensively described the most common techniques to characterize cubosomes, particularly nanocarriers. The exceptional properties of the cubosomes make them suitable to be used in several applications in the biomedical field, from cancer therapeutics to imaging, which will be described. Taking in consideration the outstanding properties of cubosomes, their application in several research fields is envisaged.

Stabilizing a Double Gyroid Network Phase with 2 nm Feature Size by Blending of Lamellar and Cylindrical Forming Block Oligomers. JACS AU 2022; 2:1405-1416. [PMID: 35783180 PMCID: PMC9241014 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.2c00101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study binary blends of an AB-type diblock and an AB2-type miktoarm triblock amphiphiles (also known as high-χ block oligomers) consisting of sugar-based (A) and hydrocarbon (B) blocks. In their pure form, the AB diblock and AB2 triblock amphiphiles self-assemble into ordered lamellar (LAM) and cylindrical (CYL) structures, respectively. At intermediate compositions, however, the AB2-rich blend (0.2 ≤ x AB ≤ 0.4) forms a double gyroid (DG) network, whereas perforated lamellae (PL) are observed in the AB-rich blend (0.5 ≤ x AB ≤ 0.8). All of the ordered mesophases present domain pitches under 3 nm, with 1 nm feature sizes for the polar domains. Structural analyses reveal that the nonuniform interfacial curvatures of DG and PL structures are supported by local composition variations of the LAM- and CYL-forming amphiphiles. Self-consistent mean field theory calculations for blends of related AB and AB2 block polymers also show the DG network at intermediate compositions, when A is the minority block, but PL is not stable. This work provides molecular-level insights into how blending of shape-filling molecular architectures enables network phase formation with extremely small feature sizes over a wide composition range.

Abstract
The immune system is one of the most important, complex biological networks regulating and protecting human health. Its precise modulation can prevent deadly infections and fight cancer. Accordingly, prophylactic vaccines and cancer immunotherapies are some of the most powerful technologies to protect against potential dangers through training of the immune system. Upon immunization, activation and maturation of B and T cells of the adaptive immune system are necessary for development of proper humoral and cellular protection. Yet, the exquisite organization of the immune system requires spatiotemporal control over the exposure of immunomodulatory signals. For example, while the human immune system has evolved to develop immunity to natural pathogenic infections that often last for weeks, current prophylactic vaccination technologies only expose the immune system to immunomodulatory signals for hours to days. It has become clear that leveraging sustained release technologies to prolong immunogen and adjuvant exposure can increase the potency, durability, and quality of adaptive immune responses. Over the past several years, tremendous breakthroughs have been made in the design of novel biomaterials such as nanoparticles, microparticles, hydrogels, and microneedles that can precisely control and the presentation of immunomodulatory signals to the immune system. In this review, we discuss relevant sustained release strategies and their corresponding benefits to cellular and humoral responses.

Superiority of Microemulsion-based Hydrogel for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Transdermal Delivery: A Comparative Safety and Anti-nociceptive Efficacy Study. Int J Pharm 2022; 622:121830.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) represent the foundation of pain management caused by inflammatory disorders. Nevertheless, their oral administration induces several side effects exemplified by gastric ulceration, thus, delivering NSAIDs via the skin has become an attractive alternative. Herein, microemulsion-based hydrogel (MBH), proliposomal, and cubosomal gels were fabricated, loaded with diclofenac, and physicochemically characterized. The sizes, charges, surface morphologies, and the state of diclofenac within the reconstituted gels were also addressed. The release pattern and ex-vivo permeation studies using Franz cells were performed via the rat abdominal skin. The formulations were assessed in-vivo on mice skin for their irritation effect and their anti-nociceptive efficacy through the tail-flick test. Biosafety study of the optimal gel was also pointed out. The gels and their dispersion forms displayed accepted physicochemical properties. Diclofenac released in a prolonged manner from the prepared gels. MBH revealed a significantly higher skin permeation and the foremost results regarding in-vivo assessment where no skin irritation or altered histopathological features were observed. MBH further induced a significant anti-nociceptive effect during the tail-flick test with a lower tendency to evoke systemic toxicity. Therefore, limonene-containing microemulsion hydrogel is a promising lipid-based vehicle to treat pain with superior safety and therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Despite substantial progress in porous materials over past years, controllable preparation of conductive polymers (CPs) with continuous large pores is challenging, which are important for diverse applications, including energy storage, electrocatalysis, and biological separations. Here, we develop an unprecedented ordered bicontinuous mesoporous PPy cubosomes (mPPy-cs) using a soft-template strategy, resulting in ultralarge pores of ∼45 nm and high specific surface area of 69.5 m2 g-1. Along with their unique characteristics of adjustable surface charges and sensitivity to pH, mPPy-cs exhibited a near quantitative adsorption of albumin within 30 min, enabling efficient separation from immunoglobulin G, a typical inclusion in commercial albumin products. Moreover, the absorbed albumin could be further released in a controlled manner by lowering the pH. This work provides a feasible strategy for bottom-up construction of CPs with tailored pore sizes and nanoarchitectures, expected to attract significant attention to their properties and applications.

Abstract
Nanodiscs have attracted considerable attention as structural scaffolds for membrane-protein research and as biomaterials in e.g. drug-delivery systems. However, conventional disc-fabrication methods are usually laborious, and disc fabrication via the self-assembly of amphiphiles is difficult. Herein, we report the formation of polymer nanodiscs based on the self-assembly of amphiphilic graft copolymers by adjusting the persistence length of the main chain. Amphiphilic graft copolymers with a series of different main-chain persistence lengths were prepared and these formed, depending on the persistence length, either rods, discs, or vesicles. Notably, polymer nanodiscs were formed upon heating a chilled polymer solution without the need for any additives, and the thus obtained nanodiscs were used to solubilize a membrane protein during cell-free protein synthesis. Given the simplicity of this disc-fabrication method and the ability of these discs to solubilize membrane proteins, this study considerably expands the fundamental and practical scope of graft-copolymer nanodiscs and demonstrates their utility as tools for studying the structure and function of membrane proteins.

Abstract
Phospholipids have a high degree of biocompatibility and are deemed ideal pharmaceutical excipients in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems, because of their unique features (permeation, solubility enhancer, emulsion stabilizer, micelle forming agent, and the key excipients in solid dispersions) they can be used in a variety of pharmaceutical drug delivery systems, such as liposomes, phytosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, etc. The primary usage of phospholipids in a colloidal pharmaceutical formulation is to enhance the drug's bioavailability with low aqueous solubility [i.e. Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) Class II drugs], Membrane penetration (i.e. BCS Class III drugs), drug uptake and release enhancement or modification, protection of sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from gastrointestinal degradation, a decrease of gastrointestinal adverse effects, and even masking of the bitter taste of orally delivered drugs are other uses. Phospholipid-based colloidal drug products can be tailored to address a wide variety of product requirements, including administration methods, cost, product stability, toxicity, and efficacy. Such formulations that are also a cost-effective method for developing medications for topical, oral, pulmonary, or parenteral administration. The originality of this review work is that we comprehensively evaluated the unique properties and special aspects of phospholipids and summarized how the individual phospholipids can be utilized in various types of lipid-based drug delivery systems, as well as listing newly marketed lipid-based products, patents, and continuing clinical trials of phospholipid-based therapeutic products. This review would be helpful for researchers responsible for formulation development and research into novel colloidal phospholipid-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Arthritic injuries happen frequently during a lifetime due to accidents, sports, aging, diseases, etc. Such injuries can be cartilage/bone injuries, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, inflammation, pain, and/or synovitis. Oral and injective administration of therapeutics are typically used but cause many side effects. Transdermal administration is an alternative route for safe and efficient delivery. Transdermal formulations of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been available on market for years and show promising efficacy in pain relieving, inflammation alleviation, infection control, and so on. Innovative transdermal patches, gels/films, and microneedles have also been widely explored as formulations to deliver therapeutics to combat arthritic injuries. However, transdermal formulations that halt disease progression and promote damage repair are translated slowly from lab bench to clinical applications. One major reason is that the skin barrier and synovial capsule barrier limit the efficacy of transdermal delivery. Recently, many nanocarriers, such as nanoparticles, nanolipids, nanoemulsions, nanocrystals, exosomes, etc., have been incorporated into transdermal formulations to advance drug delivery. The combined transdermal formulations show promising safety and efficacy. Therefore, this review will focus on stating the current development of nanomedicine-based transdermal formulations for the treatment of arthritic injuries. The advances, limitations, and future perspectives in this field will also be provided to inspire future studies and accelerate clinical translational studies. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanotechnology in Tissue Repair and Replacement Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures.

Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a promising approach to aid the fight against looming antibiotic resistance. aPDT harnesses the energy of light through photosenstizers to generate highly reactive oxygen species that can inactivate bacteria and fungi with no resistance. To date aPDT has shown great efficacy against microbes causing localized infections in the skin and the oral cavity. However, its wide application in clinical settings has been limited due to both physicochemical and biological challenges. Over the past decade nanomaterials have contributed to promoting photosensitizer performance and aPDT efficiency, yet further developments are required to establish accredited treatment options. In this review we discuss the challenges facing the clinical application of aPDT and the opportunities that nanotechnology may offer to promote the safety and efficiency of aPDT.

Abstract
AIM The aim of our work is to formulate teicoplanin-loaded lipid liquid-crystalline (cubosomes) nanoparticles laden gel to sustain the release of teicoplanin for effective treatment of infected bone. METHODS Cubosomal gels were prepared by emulsification technique. The batches were characterized for morphology, size, entrapment efficacy, viscosity, in-vitro flux, in-vivo drug release and histopathological studies. RESULTS Transmission electron microscopy images confirmed the bi-continuous liquid crystalline phase. The size (61-202nm), viscosity (12,138-13,132cp), and entrapment efficacy (69.0-81.8% w/w) increase with the level of glycerol monooleate. The in-vitro flux data showed sustain teicoplanin release from the cubosomal gels for 36 days, compared to 48h from the control gel. The in-vivo teicoplanin release study (osteomyelitis induced by S. aureus) showed low serum drug-concentration from the gel (up to 14 days) compared to high-serum drug-concentration using intravenous injections. CONCUSSION In conclusion the study demonstrated the potential of cubosomes for effective delivery of teicoplanin to replace injections.

Abstract
In recent years, lipid bicontinuous cubic liquid-crystalline nanoparticles known as cubosomes have been under investigation because of their favorable properties as drug nanocarriers useful for anticancer treatments. Herein, we present organic/inorganic hybrid, theranostic cubosomes stabilized in water with a shell of alternate layers of chitosan, single strand DNA (model genetic material for potential gene therapy), and folic acid-chitosan conjugate (the outmost layer), coencapsulating up-converting Er3+ and Yb3+ codoped NaYF4 nanoparticles and daunorubicin. The latter acts as a chemotherapeutic drug of photosensitizing activity, while up-converting nanoparticles serve as energy harvester and diagnostic agent. Cellular uptake and NIR-induced photodynamic therapy were evaluated in vitro against human skin melanoma (MeWo) and ovarian (SKOV-3) cancer cells. Results evidenced the preferential uptake of the theranostic cubosomes in SKOV-3 cells in comparison to uptake in MeWo cells, and this effect was enhanced by the folic acid functionalization of the cubosomes surface. Nanocarriers coloaded with the hybrid fluorophores exhibited a superior NIR-induced photodynamic activity, also confirmed by the improved mitochondrial activity and the most affecting f-actin fibers of cytoskeleton. Similar results, but with higher photocytotoxicity, were detected when folic acid-functionalized cubosomes were incubated with SKOV-3 cells. Taken on the whole, these results prove these hybrid cubosomes are good candidates for the photodynamic treatment of tumor lesions.

Development and Optimization of Hyaluronic Acid-Poloxamer In-Situ Gel Loaded with Voriconazole Cubosomes for Enhancement of Activity against Ocular Fungal Infection. Gels 2022; 8:gels8040241. [PMID: 35448142 PMCID: PMC9032757 DOI: 10.3390/gels8040241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Fungal eye infections are largely disseminated, especially in developing countries where they may leave over half a million people blind per year. The current study aims to boost the voriconazole antifungal efficiency via loading it as cubosomes (VZ-Cub) into hyaluronic acid and poloxamer-based ocular in situ gel. VZ-Cub were fabricated applying Box-Behnken design and employing phytantriol, poloxamer F127, and VZ amounts as independent variables. The produced nano vesicles were evaluated for the dependent variables of particle size (PS), entrapment efficiency (EE%), and transcorneal steady-state flux (Jss) of the VZ, and, the obtained optimal VZ-Cub was loaded into an in situ gel base to enhance its ocular residence time. The in situ gel formulation was tested for its gelation temperature, drug release behavior, transcorneal permeation effects, and antifungal activity. The optimized VZ-Cub consisted of 100 mg of phytantriol, 60 mg of poloxamer F127, and 21 mg of VZ. This formulation led to a minimum PS of 71 nm, an EE% of 66%, Jss value of 6.5 µg/(cm2·min), and stability index of 94 ± 2%. The optimized VZ-Cub-loaded in situ gel released 84% VZ after 12 h and yielded a 4.5-fold increase in drug permeation compared with the VZ aqueous dispersion. The antifungal activity, which was obtained by measuring the fungal growth inhibition zones, revealed that the VZ-Cub-loaded in situ gel formulation had a 3.89-fold increase in antifungal activity compared with the VZ dispersion. In summary, an ocular in situ gel loaded with VZ-Cub could be an effective novel nano-paradigm with enhanced transcorneal permeation and antifungal properties.

Abstract
AIM In the current study, efforts are being made to formulate transdermal salbutamol-cubosomal gel to manage pediatric asthma. METHODS Salbutamol-loaded cubosomal gels were prepared by melt emulsification and sonication. The cubosomal gels were characterized by morphology, particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficacy, assay, viscosity, and texture profiles. Ex vivo permeation and pharmacokinetic studies were performed using rats. RESULTS The mean cubosomal particle size (208-361 ± 12.5-32.5 nm), PDI (0.06-0.11 ± 0.01-0.02), viscosity (8527-9019 cp), and entrapment efficacy (76.3-91.0% w/w) increase with the level of monoolein. The ex vivo permeation study showed a biphasic release pattern, with salbutamol cleared from control gel within 8 h, while cubosomal gels showed sustained release up to 72 h. The pharmacokinetic profiles in the rat model showed 8.62-fold higher bioavailability with cubosomal gel. CONCLUSION The study demonstrated the potential of cubosomal nanoparticle-laden gel to sustain the release of salbutamol to treat pediatric asthma.

Abstract
Marketed lidocaine dosage forms (such as ointment, gels, and injections) used to manage acute and chronic pain showed a short duration of action (<2 h). In this study, a lidocaine-loaded cubosomal gel was prepared to sustain the release of lidocaine to prolong the local anesthetic effect (high drug retention in the skin). Lidocaine-loaded cubosomal gels were prepared by melt emulsification and sonication using Pluronic F127 and DL-α-monoolein (at different levels). The cubosomal gels were characterized by morphology, size, zeta potential, entrapment efficacy, assay, viscosity, pH, and texture profiles. Ex vivo lidocaine permeation and retention studies were performed using Sprague–Dawley rat skin. Transmission electron microscopy images confirmed the bi-continuous liquid crystalline phase with a honeycomb cubosome structure. The cubosomal particle size (103–227 nm), viscosity (13,524–15,627cp), and entrapment efficacy (78.4–94.7%) increase with the level of monoolein. The ex-vivo permeation study showed a biphasic release pattern, with lidocaine cleared from ointment within 4 h (97.9% cumulative release), while cubosomal gels showed sustained release up to 24 h (53.33–98.86% cumulative release). A skin retention study demonstrated that cubosomes can increase (up to 28-fold) the lidocaine content in the skin (4.56 mg) compared to ointment (0.19 mg). A rabbit skin irritation study showed no sign of irritation after the application of cubosomal gel. In the radiant heat tail-flick study, the local anesthetic effect of lidocaine from the cubosomal gel was sustained for up to 16 h with 1.43-fold higher efficacy than marketed ointment. In conclusion, the study demonstrated the potential of cubosomal nanoparticle-laden gel to sustain the release of lidocaine for prolonging local anesthetic effects for pain management.

Inverse ISAsomes in Bio-Compatible Oils—Exploring Formulations in Squalane, Triolein and Olive Oil. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12071133.

Abstract
In contrast to their more common counterparts in aqueous solutions, inverse ISAsomes (internally self-assembled somes/particles) are formulated as kinetically stabilised dispersions of hydrophilic, lyotropic liquid-crystalline (LC) phases in non-polar oils. This contribution reports on their formation in bio-compatible oils. We found that it is possible to create inverse hexosomes, inverse micellar cubosomes (Fd3m) and an inverse emulsified microemulsion (EME) in excess squalane with a polyethylene glycol alkyl ether as the primary surfactant forming the LC phase and to stabilise them with hydrophobised silica nanoparticles. Furthermore, an emulsified -phase and inverse hexosomes were formed in excess triolein with the triblock-copolymer Pluronic® P94 as the primary surfactant. Stabilisation was achieved with a molecular stabiliser of type polyethylene glycol (PEG)-dipolyhydroxystearate. For the inverse hexosomes in triolein, the possibility of a formulation without any additional stabiliser was explored. It was found that a sufficiently strong stabilisation effect was created by the primary surfactant alone. Finally, triolein was replaced with olive oil which also led to the successful formation of inverse hexosomes. As far as we know, there exists no previous contribution about inverse ISAsomes in complex oils such as triolein or plant oils, and the existence of stabiliser-free (i.e., self-stabilising) inverse hexosomes has also not been reported until now.

Abstract
The emergence of new lifestyle disorders and pharmaco-resistant variants of diseases has necessitated the search for effective therapeutic moieties and approaches that could overcome the limitations in the existing treatment modalities. In this context, bioactives such as flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, terpenoids and alkaloids have demonstrated promise in therapy owing to their ability to scavenge free radicals and modulate the mitochondrial function as well as regulate metabolic pathways. However, their clinical applicability is low owing to their poor bioavailability and aqueous solubility. The encapsulation of bioactives in nanodimensional particles has overcome these limitations to a large extent while simultaneously conferring additional advantages of improved circulation time, enhanced cell uptake and target specific release. A wide range of nanocarriers derived from biopolymers such as polysaccharides, lipids and proteins, have been explored for encapsulation of different bioactives and have reported significant improvement of the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of the encapsulated cargo. However, incorporation of cell-specific and mitochondria-specific elements on the nanocarriers has been relatively less explored. This review summarizes some of the recent attempts to treat different disorders using bioactives encapsulated in biopolymer nanostructures and few instances of mitochondria-specific delivery.

Abstract
Biomolecule-targeted imaging represents one of the most difficult challenges in medicine. Nanoerythrosomes (NERs) are nanovesicles obtained after lysis of red blood cells, and they are promising tools for drug delivery and imaging. In this work, a formulation based on NERs functionalized with 7-amino-3-methylcoumarin via cross-linking was tested on rat INS-1E and mouse MIN6 β-cells and endothelial MSI cell lines. First, the morphology, size, ζ-potentials, and spectroscopic properties of the aggregates were investigated, highlighting that the functionalization did not significantly affect the nanoparticles' physicochemical features. In vitro, the nanoparticles did not significantly affect the proliferation and function of INS-1E and MIN6 β-cells at different concentrations. Only at the highest concentration tested on the MSI cell line, the formulation inhibited proliferation. Furthermore, NER aggregates were not internalized in both INS-1E and MIN6 cell lines, while a diffuse fluorescence was noticed in the cytosol of the MSI cell line at the highest concentrations. These findings proved that NER formulations might represent a new nanotool for β-cell imaging as a part of a strategy aimed to prevent any intracellular accumulation, thus reducing/avoiding side effects.

Abstract
Isofuranodiene (IFD) is a sesquiterpene occurring in several plant species, which proved to have multiple anticancer activities. IFD has a lipophilic nature and, hence, a very low water solubility and a poor bioavailability; moreover, it is not stable, undergoing the "Cope rearrangement" to the less active curzerene. The use of appropriate delivery systems can thus be considered as a valid tool to enhance IFD bioavailability, solubility, stability and at the same time also to improve its intracellular uptake and pharmacological activity. Within this frame, monoolein (GMO) nanoparticles loaded with IFD were prepared and their enhanced anticancer activity, compared to pristine IFD, was assessed. In this study, for the first time, an in vitro Fourier Transform Infrared and Raman Microspectroscopy approaches were exploited to evaluate the effects of IFD, alone and loaded in GMO nanoparticles, on MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cell line. The anti-cancer effects of IFD were evidenced by both the spectroscopic techniques and discriminated from the GMO-induced changes in the culture environment; moreover, a synergistic effect of IFD and GMO administration can be envisaged by the experimental results.

Abstract
In the past decades, events occurring at the nano-bio interface (i.e., where engineered nanoparticles (NPs) meet biological interfaces such as biomembranes) have been intensively investigated, to address the cytotoxicity of nanomaterials and boost their clinical translation. In this field, lamellar synthetic model membranes have been instrumental to disentangle non-specific interactions between NPs and planar biological interfaces. Much less is known on nano-biointeractions occurring at highly curved biological interfaces, such as cubic membranes. These non-lamellar architectures play a crucial -but far from understood-role in several biological processes and occur in cells as a defence mechanism against bacterial and viral pathologies, including coronaviruses infections. Despite its relevance, the interaction of cubic membranes with nano-sized objects (such as viral pathogens, biological macromolecules and synthetic NPs) remains largely unexplored to date. Here, we address the interaction of model lipid cubic phase membranes with two prototypical classes of NPs for Nanomedicine, i.e., gold (AuNPs) and silver NPs (AgNPs). To this purpose, we challenged lipid cubic phase membranes, either in the form of dispersed nanoparticles (i.e., cubosomes) or solid-supported layers of nanometric thickness, with citrate-stabilized AuNPs and AgNPs and monitored the interaction combining bulk techniques (UV-visible spectroscopy, Light and Synchrotron Small-Angle X-ray Scattering) with surface methods (Quartz Crystal Microbalance and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy). We show that the composition of the metal core of NPs (i.e., Au vs Ag) modulates their adsorption and self-assembly at cubic interfaces, leading to an extensive membrane-induced clustering of AuNPs, while only to a mild adsorption of isolated AgNPs. Such differences mirror opposite effects at the membrane level, where AuNPs induce lipid extraction followed by a fast disruption of the cubic assembly, while AgNPs do not affect the membrane morphology. Finally, we propose an interaction mechanism accounting for the different behaviour of AuNPs and AgNPs at the cubic interface, highlighting a prominent role of NPs’ composition and surface chemistry in the overall interaction mechanism.

Abstract
Nanomaterials and targeted drug delivery vehicles improve the therapeutic index of drugs and permit greater control over their pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and bioavailability. Here, nanotechnologies applied to cancer immunotherapy are discussed with a focus on current and next generation self-assembling drug delivery systems composed of lipids and/or polymers. Topics covered include the fundamental design, suitability, and inherent properties of nanomaterials that induce anti-tumor immune responses and support anti-cancer vaccination. Established active and passive targeting strategies as well as newer "indirect" methods are presented together with insights into how nanocarrier structure and surface chemistry can be leveraged for controlled delivery to the tumor microenvironment while minimizing off-target effects.

Abstract
Cancer is a group of disorders characterized by aberrant gene function and alterations in gene expression patterns. In 2020, it was anticipated that 19 million new cancer cases would be diagnosed globally, with around 10 million cancer deaths. Late diagnosis and interventions are the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. In addition, the absence of comprehensive cancer therapy adds to the burden. Many lyotropic non-lamellar liquid-crystalline-nanoparticle-mediated formulations have been developed in the last few decades, with promising results in drug delivery, therapeutics, and diagnostics. Cubosomes are nano-structured liquid-crystalline particles made of specific amphiphilic lipids in particular proportions. Their ability to encapsulate lipophilic, hydrophilic, and amphiphilic molecules within their structure makes them one of a kind. They are biocompatible, versatile drug carriers that can deliver medications through various routes of administration. Many preclinical studies on the use of cubosomes in cancer treatment and theranostic applications have been conducted. However, before cubosomes may be employed in clinical practice, significant technical advances must be accomplished. This review summarizes the development of cubosomes and their multifunctional role in cancer treatment based on the most recent reports.

Abstract
Nanomedicines, while having been approved for cancer therapy, present many challenges such as low stability, rapid clearance, and nonspecificity leading to off-target toxicity. Cubosomes are porous lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles that have shown great premise as drug delivery vehicles; however, their behavior in vivo is largely underexplored, hindering clinical translation. Here, we have engineered cubosomes based on the space group Im3m that are loaded with copper acetylacetonate as a model drug, and their surfaces are functionalized for the first time with Affimer proteins via copper-free click chemistry to actively target overexpressed carcinoembryonic antigens on LS174T colorectal cancer cells. Unlike nontargeted cubosomes, Affimer tagged cubosomes showed preferential accumulation in cancer cells compared to normal cells not only in vitro (2D monolayer cell culture and 3D spheroid models) but also in vivo in colorectal cancer mouse xenografts, while exhibiting low nonspecific absorption and toxicity in other vital organs. Cancerous spheroids had maximum cell death compared to noncancerous cells upon targeted delivery. Xenografts subjected to targeted drug-loaded cubosomes showed a 5-7-fold higher drug accumulation in the tumor tissue compared to the liver, kidneys, and other vital organs, a significant decrease in tumor growth, and an increased survival rate compared to the nontargeted group. This work encompasses the first thorough preclinical investigation of Affimer targeted cubosomes as a cancer therapeutic.

Abstract
Colloidal nanoparticles were prepared by aqueous self-assembly of amphiphilic β-cyclodextrins (βCDs) acylated on their secondary face with C14 chains to a total degree of substitution of 7.0, via a thermolysin-catalyzed transesterification process. The small-angle X-ray scattering pattern of the nanoparticles was consistent with a reverse hexagonal organization. Cryo-transmission electron microscopy images revealed particles with spectacular tortuous shapes and consisting of misoriented domains with a regular columnar hexagonal structure, separated by sharp interfaces. Edge dislocations as well as a variety of stepped tilt grain boundaries (GBs) composed of symmetrical and asymmetrical sections, together with one twist GB, were identified from axial views of the columnar organization. The tilt GB structure was analyzed using the concepts of coincidence site lattice and structural units developed to describe the atomic structure of interfaces in various types of polycrystals. The tilt GBs were described using sequences of βCD-C14 columns that differed by the number of neighboring columns (5, 6 or 7) and exhibiting distinctive contrasts. To our knowledge, this is the first time that these types of topological defects are described at the nanometric scale by direct observation of colloidal polycrystalline hexosomes of self-organized amphiphiles.

Abstract
Tamarillo extract is a good source of phenolic and anthocyanin compounds which are well-known for beneficial antioxidant activity, but their bioactivity maybe lost during digestion. In this study, promising prospects of tamarillo polyphenols encapsulated in cubosome nanoparticles prepared via a top-down method were explored. The prepared nanocarriers were examined for their morphology, entrapment efficiency, particle size and stability during in vitro digestion as well as potential fortification of yoghurt. Tamarillo polyphenol-loaded cubosomes showed cubic shape with a mean particle size of 322.4 ± 7.27 nm and the entrapment efficiency for most polyphenols was over 50%. The encapsulated polyphenols showed high stability during the gastric phase of in vitro digestion and were almost completely, but slowly released in the intestinal phase. Addition of encapsulated tamarillo polyphenols to yoghurt (5, 10 and 15 wt% through pre- and post-fermentation) improved the physicochemical and potential nutritional properties (polyphenols concentration, TPC) as well as antioxidant activity. The encapsulation of tamarillo polyphenols protected against pH changes and enzymatic digestion and facilitated a targeted delivery and slow release of the encapsulated compounds to the intestine. Overall, the cubosomal delivery system demonstrated the potential for encapsulation of polyphenols from tamarillo for value-added food product development with yoghurt as the vehicle.

Abstract
The most common malignant tumor of the brain is glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in adults. Many patients die shortly after diagnosis, and only 6% of patients survive more than 5 years. Moreover, the current average survival of malignant brain tumors is only about 15 months, and the recurrence rate within 2 years is almost 100%. Brain diseases are complicated to treat. The reason for this is that drugs are challenging to deliver to the brain because there is a blood–brain barrier (BBB) protection mechanism in the brain, which only allows water, oxygen, and blood sugar to enter the brain through blood vessels. Other chemicals cannot enter the brain due to their large size or are considered harmful substances. As a result, the efficacy of drugs for treating brain diseases is only about 30%, which cannot satisfy treatment expectations. Therefore, researchers have designed many types of nanoparticles and nanocomposites to fight against the most common malignant tumors in the brain, and they have been successful in animal experiments. This review will discuss the application of various nanocomposites in diagnosing and treating GBM. The topics include (1) the efficient and long-term tracking of brain images (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, and near-infrared light (NIR)); (2) breaking through BBB for drug delivery; and (3) natural and chemical drugs equipped with nanomaterials. These multifunctional nanoparticles can overcome current difficulties and achieve progressive GBM treatment and diagnosis results.

Abstract
Self-assembly offers unique possibilities for fabricating nanostructures, with different morphologies and properties, typically from vapour or liquid phase precursors. Molecular units, nanoparticles, biological molecules and other discrete elements can spontaneously organise or form via interactions at the nanoscale. Currently, nanoscale self-assembly finds applications in a wide variety of areas including carbon nanomaterials and semiconductor nanowires, semiconductor heterojunctions and superlattices, the deposition of quantum dots, drug delivery, such as mRNA-based vaccines, and modern integrated circuits and nanoelectronics, to name a few. Recent advancements in drug delivery, silicon nanoelectronics, lasers and nanotechnology in general, owing to nanoscale self-assembly, coupled with its versatility, simplicity and scalability, have highlighted its importance and potential for fabricating more complex nanostructures with advanced functionalities in the future. This review aims to provide readers with concise information about the basic concepts of nanoscale self-assembly, its applications to date, and future outlook. First, an overview of various self-assembly techniques such as vapour deposition, colloidal growth, molecular self-assembly and directed self-assembly/hybrid approaches are discussed. Applications in diverse fields involving specific examples of nanoscale self-assembly then highlight the state of the art and finally, the future outlook for nanoscale self-assembly and potential for more complex nanomaterial assemblies in the future as technological functionality increases.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a type of lipid vesicles that possess a homogeneous lipid core. These vesicles are widely used in small-molecule drug and nucleic acid delivery and recently gained much attention because of their remarkable success as a delivery platform for COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Nonetheless, the utility of transient protein expression induced by mRNA extends far beyond vaccines against infectious diseases─they also hold promise as cancer vaccines, protein replacement therapies, and gene editing components for rare genetic diseases. However, naked mRNA is inherently unstable and prone to rapid degradation by nucleases and self-hydrolysis. Encapsulation of mRNA within LNPs protects mRNA from extracellular ribonucleases and assists with intracellular mRNA delivery.In this Account, we discuss the core features of LNPs for RNA delivery. We focus our attention on LNPs designed to deliver mRNA; however, we also include examples of siRNA-LNP delivery where appropriate to highlight the commonalities and the dissimilarities due to the nucleic acid structure. First, we introduce the concept of LNPs, the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing nucleic acids as therapeutic agents, and the general reasoning behind the molecular makeup of LNPs. We also briefly highlight the most recent clinical successes of LNP-based nucleic acid therapies. Second, we describe the theory and methods of LNP self-assembly. The common idea behind all of the preparation methods is inducing electrostatic interactions between the nucleic acid and charged lipids and promoting nanoparticle growth via hydrophobic interactions. Third, we break down the LNP composition with special attention to the fundamental properties and purposes of each component. This includes the identified molecular design criteria, commercial sourcing, impact on intracellular trafficking, and contribution to the properties of LNPs. One of the key components of LNPs is ionizable lipids, which initiate electrostatic binding with endosomal membranes and facilitate cytosolic release; however, the roles of other lipid components should not be disregarded, as they are associated with stability, clearance, and distribution of LNPs. Fourth, we review the attributes of LNP constructs as a whole that can heavily influence RNA delivery. These attributes are LNP size, charge, internal structure, lipid packing, lipid membrane hydration, stability, and affinity toward biomacromolecules. We also discuss the specific techniques used to examine these attributes and how they can be adjusted. Finally, we offer our perspective on the future of RNA therapies and some questions that remain in the realm of LNP formulation and optimization.

Abstract
Pluronic (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymers can form nano-sized micelles with a structure composed of a hydrophobic PPO core and hydrophilic PEO shell layer. Pluronics are U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved polymers, which are widely used for solubilization of drugs and their delivery, gene/therapeutic delivery, diagnostics, and tissue engineering applications due to their non-ionic properties, non-toxicity, micelle forming ability, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Although Pluronics have been employed as drug carrier systems for several decades, numerous issues such as rapid dissolution, shorter residence time in biological media, fast clearance and weak mechanical strength have hindered their efficacy. Pluronics have been functionalized with pH-sensitive, biological-responsive moieties, antibodies, aptamers, folic acid, drugs, different nanoparticles, and photo/thermo-responsive hydrogels. These functionalization strategies enable Pluronics to act as stimuli responsive and targeted drug delivery vehicles. Moreover, Pluronics have emerged in nano-emulsion formulations and have been utilized to improve the properties of cubosomes, dendrimers and nano-sheets, including their biocompatibility and aqueous solubility. Functionalization of Pluronics results in the significant improvement of target specificity, loading capacity, biocompatibility of nanoparticles and stimuli responsive hydrogels for the promising delivery of a range of drugs.

Abstract
Therapeutic oligonucleotides (TOs) represent one of the most promising drug candidates in the targeted cancer treatment due to their high specificity and capability of modulating cellular pathways that are not readily druggable. However, efficiently delivering of TOs to cancer cellular targets is still the biggest challenge in promoting their clinical translations. Emerging as a significant drug delivery vector, nanoparticles (NPs) can not only protect TOs from nuclease degradation and enhance their tumor accumulation, but also can improve the cell uptake efficiency of TOs as well as the following endosomal escape to increase the therapeutic index. Furthermore, targeted and on-demand drug release of TOs can also be approached to minimize the risk of toxicity towards normal tissues using stimuli-responsive NPs. In the past decades, remarkable progresses have been made on the TOs delivery based on various NPs with specific purposes. In this review, we will first give a brief introduction on the basis of TOs as well as the action mechanisms of several typical TOs, and then describe the obstacles that prevent the clinical translation of TOs, followed by a comprehensive overview of the recent progresses on TOs delivery based on several various types of nanocarriers containing lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, porous nanoparticles, DNA/RNA nanoassembly, extracellular vesicles, and imaging-guided drug delivery nanoparticles.

Abstract
Hearing loss is a common disease due to sensory loss caused by the diseases in the inner ear. The development of delivery systems for inner ear disease therapy is important to achieve high efficiency and reduce side effects. Currently, traditional drug delivery systems exhibit the potential to be used for inner ear disease therapy, but there are still some drawbacks. As nanotechnology is developing these years, one of the solutions is to develop nanoparticle-based delivery systems for inner ear disease therapy. Various nanoparticles, such as soft material and inorganic-based nanoparticles, have been designed, tested, and showed controlled delivery of drugs, improved targeting property to specific cells, and reduced systemic side effects. In this review, we summarized recent progress in nanocarriers for inner ear disease therapy. This review provides useful information on developing promising nanocarriers for the efficient treatment of inner ear diseases and for further clinical applications for inner ear disease therapy.

Abstract
We report on the development of an electroformation technique for the preparation of particulate (particle-based) emulsions. These oil-in-water (here, lipid phase acts as an "oil") emulsions were prepared using nonlamellar lipid phases. Such emulsion particles offer high hydrophobic volumes compared to conventional lipid particles based on lamellar phases (vesicles/liposomes). In addition, the tortuous internal nanostructure contributes through greater surface area per volume of lipid particles allowing an enhanced loading of payloads. The electroformation method makes use of a capacitor formed from two indium tin oxide coated conductive glass surfaces separated by a dielectric aqueous medium. This capacitor setup is enclosed in a custom-designed 3D-printed unit. Lipid molecules, deposited on conductive surfaces, self-assemble into a nanostructure in the presence of an aqueous medium, which when subjected to an alternating current electric field forms nano- and/or microparticles. Optical microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques were employed for micro- and nanostructural analyses of electroformed particles. With this method, it is possible to produce particulate emulsions at a very low (e.g., 0.0005 wt % or 0.5 mg/mL) lipid concentration. We demonstrate an applicability of the electroformation method for drug delivery by preparing lipid particles with curcumin, which is a highly important but water-insoluble medicinal compound. As the method employs gentle conditions, it is potentially noninvasive for the delivery of delicate biomolecules and certain drugs, which are prone to decomposition or denaturation due to the high thermomechanical energy input and/or nonaqueous solvents required for existing methods.
