Abstract
Here, evodiamine (EVO) and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) were integrated into a liposomal nanoplatform for noninvasive diagnostic imaging and combinatorial therapy against oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). EVO, as an active component extracted from traditional Chinese medicine, not only functioned as an antitumor chemotherapeutic agent but was also capable of 68Ga-chelation, thus working as a contrast agent for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. Moreover, EVO could exhibit peroxidase-like catalytic activity, converting endogenous tumor H2O2 into cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), enabling Chemo catalytic therapy beyond the well-known chemotherapy effect of EVO. As proven by in vitro and in vivo experiments, guided by optical imaging and PET/CT imaging, we show that the theragnostic liposomes have a significant inhibiting effect on in situ tongue tumor through photodynamic therapy combined with chemodynamic chemotherapy.

Abstract
Porous MoS2nanofibers were synthesized by electroplating and post-annealing and applied in a responsive drug delivery system. The one-dimensional (1D) MoS2nanofibers displayed a high specific surface area, controllable morphology, and uniform size, serving as a promising drug carrier for chemotherapy. After surface modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG) through PEGylation, the MoS2/PEG composite displayed excellent physical/chemical stability and biocompatibility. More importantly, MoS2/PEG loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) exhibited a controllable release responsive to pH and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation and demonstrated precise DOX dose release. Such remarkable anticancer effects were mainly attributed to outstanding photothermal performance and stability of porous MoS2nanofibers. This work offered a new opportunity of employing porous MoS2nanofibers as drug carriers for effective cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
In the last decade, additive manufacturing (AM) processes have updated the fields of biomaterials science and drug delivery as they promise to realize bioengineered multifunctional devices and implantable tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds virtually designed by using computer-aided design (CAD) models. However, the current technological gap between virtual scaffold design and practical AM processes makes it still challenging to realize scaffolds capable of encoding all structural and cell regulatory functions of the native extracellular matrix (ECM) of health and diseased tissues. Indeed, engineering porous scaffolds capable of sequestering and presenting even a complex array of biochemical and biophysical signals in a time- and space-regulated manner, require advanced automated platforms suitable of processing simultaneously biomaterials, cells, and biomolecules at nanometric-size scale. The aim of this work was to review the recent scientific literature about AM fabrication of drug delivery scaffolds for TE. This review focused on bioactive molecule loading into three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds, and their release effects on cell fate and tissue growth. We reviewed CAD-based strategies, such as bioprinting, to achieve passive and stimuli-responsive drug delivery scaffolds for TE and cancer precision medicine. Finally, we describe the authors' perspective regarding the next generation of CAD techniques and the advantages of AM, microfluidic, and soft lithography integration for enhancing 3D porous scaffold bioactivation toward functional bioengineered tissues and organs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been rapidly developed for their broad applications in many different chemistry and materials fields. In this work, a multi-dentate building block 5-(4-(tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl)-isophthalic acid (H3L) containing tetrazole and carbolxylate moieties was employed for the synthesis of a two-dimensional (2D) lanthanide MOF [La(HL)(DMF)2(NO3)] (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) (1) under solvothermal condition. The fluorescent sensing application of 1 was investigated. 1 exhibits high sensitivity recognition for antibiotic nitrofurantoin (Ksv: 3.0 × 103 M−1 and detection limit: 17.0 μM) and amino acid l-tyrosine (Ksv: 1.4 × 104 M−1 and detection limit: 3.6 μM). This work provides a feasible detection platform of 2D MOFs for highly sensitive discrimination of antibiotics and amino acids.

Abstract
Carrier-free nanotheranostics directly assembled by using clinically used photosensitizers and chemotherapeutic drugs are a promising alternative to tumor theranostics. However, the weak interaction-driven assembly still suffers from low structural stability against disintegration, lack of targeting specificity, and poor stimulus-responsive property. Moreover, almost all exogenous ligands possess no therapeutic effect. Enlightened by the concept of metal-organic frameworks, we developed a novel self-recognizing metal-coordinated nanotheranostic agent by the coordination-driven co-assembly of photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) and chemo-drug methotrexate (MTX, also served as a specific "targeting ligand" towards folate receptors), in which ferric (FeIII) ions acted as a bridge to tightly associate ICG with MTX. Such carrier-free metal-coordinated nanotheranostics with high dual-drug payload (∼94 wt%) not only possessed excellent structural and physiological stability, but also exhibited prolonged blood circulation. In addition, the nanotheranostics could achieve the targeted on-demand drug release by both stimuli of internal lysosomal acidity and external near-infrared laser. More importantly, the nanotheranostics could self-recognize the cancer cells and selectively target the tumors, and therefore they decreased toxicity to normal tissues and organs. Consequently, the nanotheranostics showed strongly synergistic potency for tumor photo-chemotherapy under the precise guidance of magnetic resonance/photoacoustic/fluorescence imaging, thereby achieving highly effective tumor curing efficiency. Considering that ICG and bi-functional MTX are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and FeIII ions have high biosafety, the self-recognizing and stimulus-responsive carrier-free metal-coordinated nanotheranostics may hold potential applications in tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Advancement in biotechnology provided a notable expansion of peptide and protein therapeutics, used as antigens, vaccines, hormones. It has a prodigious potential to treat a broad spectrum of diseases such as cancer, metabolic disorders, bone disorders, and so forth. Protein and peptide therapeutics are administered parenterally due to their poor bioavailability and stability, restricting their use. Hence, research focuses on the oral delivery of peptides and proteins for the ease of self-administration. In the present review, we first address the main obstacles in the oral delivery system in addition to approaches used to enhance the stability and bioavailability of peptide/protein. We describe the physiochemical parameters of the peptides and proteins influencing bioavailability in the systemic circulation. It encounters, many barriers affecting its stability, such as poor cellular membrane permeability at the GIT site, enzymatic degradation (various proteases), and first-pass hepatic metabolism. Then describe the current approaches to overcome the challenges mentioned above by the use of absorption enhancers or carriers, structural modification, formulation and advance technology.

Functional ferrocene polymer multilayer coatings for implantable medical devices: Biocompatible, antifouling, and ROS-sensitive controlled release of therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and the formation of biofilms on the surface of implantable medical devices are critical issues that cause device failure. Implantable medical devices, such as drug delivery technologies, offer promising benefits for targeted and prolonged drug release, but a number of common disadvantages arise that include inadequate release and side effects. Organic film coatings for antifouling and drug delivery are expected to overcome these challenges. Ferrocene polymer-based multifunctional multilayer films were prepared to control the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive release of therapeutic agents while maintaining an antifouling effect and improving biocompatibility. Polymers based on ferrocene and polyethylene glycol were prepared by controlling the molar ratio of carboxylate and amine groups. Layer-by-layer deposition was optimized to achieve the linear growth and self-assembly of dense and stable films. Outstanding anti-biofilm activity (~91% decrease) could be achieved and the films were found to be blood compatible. Importantly, the films effectively incorporated hydrophobic drugs and exhibited dual-responsive drug release at low pH and under ROS conditions at physiological pH. Drug delivery to MCF-7 breast cancer cells was achieved using a Paclitaxel loaded film, which exhibited an anticancer efficacy of 62%. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Healthcare associated infection is caused by the formation of a biofilm by bacteria on the surface of a medical device. In order to solve this, extensive research has been conducted on many coating technologies. Also, a method of chemical treatment by releasing the drug when it enters the body by loading the drug into the coating film is being studied. However, there is still a lack of technology that can achieve both functions of preventing biofilm production and drug delivery. Therefore, in this study, a multilayer thin film that supports drug and inhibits biofilm formation was prepared through Layer-by-Layer coating of a polymer containing PEG to prevent adsorption. As such, it helps the design of multifunctional coatings for implantable medical devices.

Abstract
Molecular modeling and simulations are invaluable tools for polymer science and engineering, which predict physicochemical properties of polymers and provide molecular-level insight into the underlying mechanisms. However, building realistic polymer systems is challenging and requires considerable experience because of great variations in structures as well as length and time scales. This work describes Polymer Builder in CHARMM-GUI (http://www.charmm-gui.org/input/polymer), a web-based infrastructure that provides a generalized and automated process to build a relaxed polymer system. Polymer Builder not only provides versatile modeling methods to build complex polymer structures, but also generates realistic polymer melt and solution systems through the built-in coarse-grained model and all-atom replacement. The coarse-grained model parametrization is generalized and extensively validated with various experimental data and all-atom simulations. In addition, the capability of Polymer Builder for generating relaxed polymer systems is demonstrated by density calculations of 34 homopolymer melt systems, characteristic ratio calculations of 170 homopolymer melt systems, a morphology diagram of poly(styrene-b-methyl methacrylate) block copolymers, and self-assembly behavior of amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide-b-ethylethane) block copolymers in water. We hope that Polymer Builder is useful to carry out innovative and novel polymer modeling and simulation research to acquire insight into structures, dynamics, and underlying mechanisms of complex polymer-containing systems.

Abstract
Nowadays, the development and research of nonwoven medical fibrous materials based on biopolymers is an area of a great practical interest. One of the most promising methods for producing nonwoven materials with a highly developed surface is electrospinning (ES). In this article, the possibility of efficient sterilization of ultrathin fibers based on polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by ozone treatment was considered. The purpose of this work was to select the most optimal morphology of nonwoven materials for medical purposes and to establish the correlation between the supramolecular structure and the physical properties of fibrous materials while under the influence of an ozone sterilization process.

Abstract
Wonderful black phosphorus (BP) and some BP analogs (BPAs) have been increasingly studied for their biomedical applications owing to their fascinating properties and biodegradability, but opportunities and challenges have always coexisted in their study. Poor stability upon exposure to the natural environment is the major obstacle hampering their in vivo applications. BP/polymer and BPAs/polymer nanocomposites can not only efficiently prevent their oxidation and aggregation but also exhibit "biological activity" due to synergistic effects. In this review, we briefly describe the synthesis methods and stability strategies of BP/polymer and BPAs/polymer. Then, advances pertaining to their exciting therapeutic applications in various fields are systematically introduced, such as cancer therapy (phototherapy, drug delivery, and synergistic immunotherapy), bone regeneration, and neurogenesis. Some challenges for future clinical trials and possible directions for further study are finally discussed.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers exhibit properties that make them ideal candidates for biosensing and molecular diagnostics. Through rational design of polymer composition combined with new polymer functionalization and synthetic strategies, polymers with myriad responsivities, e.g., responses to temperature, pH, biomolecules, CO2, light, and electricity can be achieved. When these polymers are specifically designed to respond to biomarkers, stimuli-responsive devices/probes, capable of recognizing and transducing analyte signals, can be used to diagnose and treat disease. In this review, we highlight recent state-of-the-art examples of stimuli-responsive polymer-based systems for biosensing and bioimaging.

Abstract
Convenient strategies to transform regular liposomes or nano-micelles into multifunctional theranostics would be highly valuable in cancer therapy. Herein, we developed an amphiphilic fluorinated porphyrin dendrimer as a multifunctional "add-on" module which would self-assemble onto liposomal drug delivery systems and conveniently transform the liposomes into novel theranostics. Through cancer cells and murine xenograft tumor model assays, the theranostics showed valuable fluorescence/19F magnetic resonance dual modal imaging and highly efficient chemo-photodynamic therapy. The modular strategy facilitates the convenient and standardized preparation of multifunctional theranostics.

Abstract
Hydrophobicity and low aqueous-solubility of different drugs/nutraceuticals remain a persistent challenge for their development and clinical/food applications. A range of nanotechnology strategies have been implemented to address this issue, and amongst which a particular emphasis has been made on those that afford an improved biological performance and tunable release kinetic of bioactives through a one-step process. More recently, the technique of electrospraying (or electrohydrodynamic atomization) has attained notable impulse in virtue of its potential to tune attributes of nano/micro-structured particles (e.g., porosity, particle size, etc.), rendering a near zero-order release kinetics, diminished burst release manner, as well as its simplicity, reproducibility, and applicability to a broad spectrum of hydrophobic and poorly water-soluble bioactives. Controlled morphology or monodispersity of designed particles could be properly obtained via electrospraying, with a high encapsulation efficiency and without unfavorable denaturation of thermosensitive bioactives upon encapsulation. This paper overviews the recent technological advances in electrospraying for the encapsulation of low queues-soluble bioactive agents. State-of-the-art, advantages, applications, and challenges for its implementation in pharmaceutical/food researches are also discussed.

Abstract
Plastics have found widespread use in the fields of cosmetic, engineering, and medical sciences due to their wide-ranging mechanical and physical properties, as well as suitability in biomedical applications. However, in the light of the environmental cost of further upscaling current methods of synthesizing many plastics, work has recently focused on the manufacture of these polymers using biological methods (often bacterial fermentation), which brings with them the advantages of both low temperature synthesis and a reduced reliance on potentially toxic and non-eco-friendly compounds. This can be seen as a boon in the biomaterials industry, where there is a need for highly bespoke, biocompatible, processable polymers with unique biological properties, for the regeneration and replacement of a large number of tissue types, following disease. However, barriers still remain to the mass-production of some of these polymers, necessitating new research. This review attempts a critical analysis of the contemporary literature concerning the use of a number of bacteria-derived polymers in the context of biomedical applications, including the biosynthetic pathways and organisms involved, as well as the challenges surrounding their mass production. This review will also consider the unique properties of these bacteria-derived polymers, contributing to bioactivity, including antibacterial properties, oxygen permittivity, and properties pertaining to cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Finally, the review will select notable examples in literature to indicate future directions, should the aforementioned barriers be addressed, as well as improvements to current bacterial fermentation methods that could help to address these barriers.

Abstract
Nanocellulose is a promising "green" nanomaterial that has recently gained scientific interest because of its excellent characteristics, such as less risks of toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, recyclability, and tunable surface features. Initially, three nanocellulose types (i.e., bacterial nanocellulose, nanocrystals, and nanofibers) and their potential biotechnological production routes have been discussed in detail. Contemporary studies are discussed in the development of nanocellulose aerogels, responsive hydrogels, injectable hydrogels/implants, and magnetic nanocellulose. Moreover, the development of hydrogels and potential crosslinking agents for the induction of desired properties has been described. Studies have revealed that the release kinetics of nanocellulosic gels/hydrogels varies from few minutes to several days depending on the given physicochemical conditions. However, such systems provide sustained drug release properties, so they are considered "smart" systems. Recent studies on controlled drug delivery systems have demonstrated their considerable potential for the next-generation transport of therapeutic drugs to target sites via various administration routes. This review presents the selection of appropriate sources and processing methodologies for the development of target nanocellulose types. It explains the potential challenges and opportunities and recommends future research directions about the smart delivery of therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Advanced gastric cancer (GC) is a significant threat to human health. Oridonin (ORI), isolated from the Chinese herb Rabdosia rubescens, has demonstrated great potential in GC therapy. However, the application of ORI in the clinic was greatly hindered by its poor solubility, low bioavailability, and rapid plasma clearance. Herein, a simple and novel redox-sensitive ORI polymeric prodrug formulation was synthesized by covalently attaching ORI to poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(l-lysine) via a disulfide linker, which can self-assemble into micelles (P-ss-ORI) in aqueous solutions and produce low critical micelle concentrations (about 10 mg L-1), characterized by small size (about 80 nm), negative surface charge (about -12 mV), and high drug loading efficiency (18.7%). The in vitro drug release study showed that P-ss-ORI can rapidly and completely release ORI in a glutathione (GSH)-rich environment and under low pH conditions. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo investigations confirmed that P-ss-ORI could remarkably extend the blood circulation time of ORI, enrich in tumor tissue, be effectively endocytosed by GC cancer cells, and quickly and completely release the drug under high intracellular GSH concentrations and low pH conditions, all these characteristics ultimately inhibit the growth of GC. This redox and pH dual-responsive P-ss-ORI formulation provides a useful strategy for GC treatment.

Abstract
Drug resistance of cisplatin significantly limits its therapeutic efficacy in clinical applications against different cancers. Herein, we develop a novel strategy to overcome cisplatin drug resistance through sensitizing cisplatin-resistant human lung cancer cells (A549R) under amplified oxidative stress using a vesicular nanoreactor for simultaneous cisplatin delivery and H2O2 generation. We engineer the nanoreactor by the self-assembly of the amphiphilic diblock copolymers to co-deliver glucose oxidase (GOD) and cisplatin (Cis) (Cis/GOD@Bz-V). Cis/GOD@Bz-V was rationally designed to stay impermeable during blood circulation while mild acidity (pH 6.5-6.8) can activate its molecular-weight selective membrane permeability and release cisplatin locally. Diffusion of small molecules such as oxygen and glucose across the membranes can induce the in situ generation of superfluous H2O2 to promote cellular oxidative stress and sensitize A549R cells via activation of pro-apoptotic pathways. Cis/GOD@Bz-V nanoreactors could effectively kill A549R at pH 6.8 in the presence of glucose by the combination of H2O2 generation and cisplatin release. Growth of A549R xenograft tumors can be inhibited efficiently without the obvious toxic side effects via the systemic administration of Cis/GOD@Bz-V. Accordingly, the tumor acidity-activable cisplatin-loaded nanoreactors show great potential to enhance the therapeutic efficacy against cisplatin-resistant cancers.

Abstract
In industry, over usage of Cu2+ and Al3+ will lead to toxic wastewater, which further to give serious pollution for the environment. On the other hand, L-lysine can enhance serotonin release in the amygdala, with subsequent changes in psychobehavioral responses to stress. Therefore it is the urgent problem to design a method for detecting the amount of Cu2+, Al3+, and L-lysine. In this work, through the solvothermal synthesis method, two new coordination complexes based on the new bifunctional building block 4'-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)- [1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid (HL) have been synthesized, namely, [Zn(L)2·4H2O] (complex 1) and [Cd(L)2·4H2O] (complex 2). X-ray single-crystal diffractometer was used to analyze its structure, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns confirmed that 1 and 2 powder's purity and 1 can keep stable during the detection process of Cu2+, Al3+, and L-lysine, respectively. Elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared analysis, ultraviolet analysis and fluorescent spectrum have been used to characterize these complexes. The photo-luminescent test showed that 1 can accurately recognize Al3+ and Cu2+ among various cations. On the other hand, 1 can distinguish L-lysine among amino acid molecules. Therefore, 1 can be utilized as a multifunctional fluorescent probe for Al3+(Ksv = 1.5570 × 104 [M]-1), Cu2+(Ksv = 1.4948 × 104 [M]-1) and L-lysine (Ksv = 4.9118 × 104 [M]-1) with low detection limits (17.5 μM, 18.2 μM, 5.6 μM) respectively.

Abstract
Hypoxia, a common feature of most solid tumors, plays an important role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and invasion, leading to drug, radiation, and photodynamic therapy resistance, and resulting in a sharp reduction in the disease-free survival rate of tumor patients. The lack of sufficient blood supply to the interior regions of tumors hinders the delivery of traditional drugs and contrast agents, interfering with their accumulation in the hypoxic region, and preventing efficient theranostics. Thus, there is a need for the fabrication of novel tumor theranostic agents that overcome these obstacles. Reports, in recent years, of hypoxia-responsive nanomaterials may provide with such means. In this review, a comprehensive description of the physicochemical and biological characteristics of hypoxic tumor tissues is provided, the principles of designing the hypoxia-responsive tumor theranostic agents are discussed, and the recent research into hypoxia-triggered nanomaterials is examined. Additionally, other hypoxia-associated responsive strategies, the current limitations, and future prospects for hypoxia-responsive nanotheranostic agents in tumor treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Core-sheath nanofibrous scaffolds from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-strontium ranelate (SrR)-Polycaprolactone (PCL) were prepared by water in oil electrospinning method. Thus, PCL (the oil phase) was used as the shell part and a mixture of PVA and SrR (the water phase) was inserted in the core. The amounts of SrR was varied from 0 to 15 wt.% Mussel-inspired dopamine-gelatin coating was done on the nanofibrous to improve their hydrophilicity and cellular attachment. The effect of the SrR content on morphology, mechanical, physicochemical, in vitro release behaviors, and biological properties as well as in vivo bone regeneration was investigated. Morphological observations revealed that continuous nanofibers with a core/shell structure were successfully obtained and the fibers diameter increased as the SrR content rose. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that SrR was molecularly distributed in the nanofibers and increasing the amount of the SrR decreased the crystallinity of the nanofibers. Moreover, the SrR release was regulated through the mechanism of Fickian diffusion and it was assumed as fast as possible in the samples with higher SrR content. The mesenchymal stem cell culturing showed improved cell proliferation by adding SrR and accelerating the expression of ALP, Runx2, Col I, and OCN genes. Besides, the SrR-loaded nanofibers improved bone formation of calvarial defects in a rat model as revealed by in vivo investigations.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a valuable tool in the production of complexes structures with specific shapes for tissue engineering. Differently from native tissues, the printed structures are static and do not transform their shape in response to different environment changes. Stimuli-responsive biocompatible materials have emerged in the biomedical field due to the ability of responding to other stimuli (physical, chemical, and/or biological), resulting in microstructures modifications. Four-dimensional (4D) printing arises as a new technology that implements dynamic improvements in printed structures using smart materials (stimuli-responsive materials) and/or cells. These dynamic scaffolds enable engineered tissues to undergo morphological changes in a pre-planned way. Stimuli-responsive polymeric hydrogels are the most promising material for 4D bio-fabrication because they produce a biocompatible and bioresorbable 3D shape environment similar to the extracellular matrix and allow deposition of cells on the scaffold surface as well as in the inside. Subsequently, this review presents different bioresorbable advanced polymers and discusses its use in 4D printing for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
As a phosphorus scaffold, hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) is widely used
for the synthesis of varieties of derivatives, including metal-binding complexes and several
unique organometallic compounds, which exhibit potential catalytic, flame retardant and biological
activities. Some metal-binding HCCP derivatives have shown antibacterial activities as
free ligands and metal complexes. These derivatives can also serve as building blocks for the
formation of antibacterial metal-containing polymers. This mini-review is focused on the design
and development of HCCP derivatives as potential antibacterial agents with representative
examples as well as antibacterial mechanisms from recent years.

Abstract
Among the diverse development of stimuli-responsive assemblies, plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) assemblies functionalized with responsive molecules are of a major interest. In this review, we outline a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of recently reported studies on in vitro and in vivo assembly/disassembly and biomedical applications of plasmonic NPs, wherein stimuli such as enzymes, light, pH, redox potential, temperature, metal ions, magnetic or electric field, and/or multi-stimuli were involved. Stimuli-responsive assemblies have been applied in various biomedical fields including biosensors, surfaced-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), photoacoustic (PA) imaging, multimodal imaging, photo-activated therapy, enhanced X-ray therapy, drug release, stimuli-responsive aggregation-induced cancer therapy, and so on. The perspectives on the use of stimuli-responsive plasmonic assemblies are discussed by addressing future scientific challenges involving assembly/disassembly strategies and applications.

Abstract
Successful applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in cancer treatment require the development of effective photosensitizers with controllable singlet oxygen generation. Here we report a ubiquinone-BODIPY photosensitizer that self-assembles into nanoparticles (PS-Q-NPs) and undergoes selective activation and deaggregation within the highly reductive intracellular environment of tumor cells. PS-Q-NPs are highly stable in aqueous buffer solution, and exhibit minimal fluorescence and photosensitization due to a rapid non-radiative relaxation process. Upon endocytosis by cancer cells, reduction of the ubiquinone moiety by intracellular glutathione (GSH) triggers the conversion of the aggregated hydrophobic precursor into the active hydrophilic carboxylate derivative PS-A. The conversion results in enhanced fluorescence and therapeutic singlet oxygen generation, portending to its application as an activatable photosensitizer for fluorescence imaging-guided photodynamic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials are able to undergo controllable changes in materials properties in response to external cues. Increasing efforts have been directed towards building materials that mimic the responsive nature of biological systems. Nevertheless, limitations remain surrounding the way these synthetic materials interact and respond to their environment. In particular, it is difficult to synthesize synthetic materials that respond with specificity to poorly differentiated (bio)chemical and weak physical stimuli. The emerging area of engineered living materials (ELMs) includes composites that combine living cells and synthetic materials. ELMs have yielded promising advances in the creation of stimuli-responsive materials that respond with diverse outputs in response to a broad array of biochemical and physical stimuli. This review describes advances made in the genetic engineering of the living component and the processing-property relationships of stimuli-responsive ELMs. Finally, the implementation of stimuli-responsive ELMs as environmental sensors, biomedical sensors, drug delivery vehicles, and soft robots is discussed.

Abstract
This paper investigates the mechanical properties of oriented polyvinyl chloride (PVC) nanofiber mats, which, were obtained by electrospinning a PVC solution. PVC was dissolved in a solvent mixture of tetrahydrofuran/dimethylformamide. Electrospinning parameters used in our work were, voltage 20 kV; flow rate 0.5 mL/h; the distance between the syringe tip and collector was 15 cm. The rotating speed of the drum collector was varied from 500 to 2500 rpm with a range of 500 rpm. Nanofiber mats were characterized by scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry methods. The mechanical properties of PVC nanofiber mats, such as tensile strength, Young’s modulus, thermal degradation, and glass transition temperature were also analyzed. It was shown that, by increasing the collector’s rotation speed from 0 (flat plate collector) to 2500 rpm (drum collector), the average diameter of PVC nanofibers decreased from 313 ± 52 to 229 ± 47 nm. At the same time, it was observed that the mechanical properties of the resulting nanofiber mats were improved: tensile strength increased from 2.2 ± 0.2 MPa to 9.1 ± 0.3 MPa, Young’s modulus from 53 ± 14 to 308 ± 19 MPa. Thermogravimetric analysis measurements showed that there was no difference in the process of thermal degradation of nanofiber mats and PVC powders. On the other hand, the glass transition temperature of nanofiber mats and powders did show different values, such values were 77.5 °C and 83.2 °C, respectively.

Abstract
Green tea extract epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), as a kind of natural active compounds, has become a research hotspot in cancer treatment. However, poor stability, low bioavailability and antitumor efficacy limit the application of EGCG. In this study, mesoporous dopamine (MPDA) with high drug loading and good biocompatibility loaded EGCG, garlic extract diallyl trisulfide (DATS) and photosensitizer (indocyanine green, ICG) by π-π stacking and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction, and the nano-system involved filling the mesoporous of the MPDA with phase change material (1-tetradecanol, 1-TD) molecules, which acted as a thermosensitive gatekeeper. The results indicated that MPDA-ICG@TD has an excellent photothermal effect and good stability. Due to the solid-liquid phase transition characteristics of the phase change material, MPDA-ICG@TD could control the release of drugs under near-infrared laser irradiation. Besides, cytotoxicity and apoptosis experiments showed that MPDA-ICG/EGCG/DATS@TD could be efficiently inhibited 4T1 cell proliferation and accelerate cell apoptosis than use diallyl trisulfide or EGCG alone, which means that the combination of natural active compounds EGCG and diallyl trisulfide has excellent synergy and can effectively improve the antitumor effect of EGCG. Moreover, this nano-system exhibited non-toxicity and good blood compatibility. This study provides a promising and effective strategy for improving the antitumor efficacy of natural active compound EGCG.

Abstract
To reduce the side effect of paclitaxel and enhance accumulation at the tumor site, a novel redox-responsive nanovector with excellent biocompatibility based on disulfide-linked amphiphilic polymer and magnetic nanoparticle was prepared. The system would realize PTX release due to breakage of the disulfide bond when being targeted to the tumor site by the external magnetic field. The nanovector significantly improved endocytosis and enhanced accumulation at the tumor site, with an effective inhibition of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo.

Gum arabic with multialdehyde groups (GAMA) was synthesized and utilized as a naturally derived macromolecular and nontoxic cross-linker to develop biocompatible and smart succinic anhydride-modified chitosan (SCS)-based injectable hydrogels for the first time. Aqueous solutions of GAMA and SCS were mixed at 37 °C to obtain hydrogels through pH-responsive, dynamic, and biodegradable Schiff base linkages. The effect of concentration of GAMA on hydrogel stiffness, swelling, morphology, and drug release behavior was investigated. These hydrogels exhibited outstanding self-healing and mechanical properties. Nanocurcumin as a chemotherapeutic agent was synthesized and loaded into these hydrogels for release studies carried out at pH 7.4 and 5.5. MTT assay revealed that these hydrogels are nontoxic to human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK-293). Loaded hydrogels demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). Thus, the present strategy may find promising application for controlled delivery of anticancer drugs for treating locally accessible cancers.

Abstract
New strategies to efficiently treat bacterial infections are crucial to circumvent the increase of resistant strains and to mitigate side effects during treatment. Skin and soft tissue infections represent one of the areas suffering the most from these resistant strains. We developed a new drug delivery system composed of the green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which is generally recognized as safe, to target specifically skin diseases. A two-step functionalization strategy was used to chemically modify the algae with the antibiotic vancomycin. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was found to mask vancomycin and the insertion of a photocleavable linker was used for the release of the antibiotic. This living drug carrier was evaluated in presence of Bacillus subtilis and, only upon UVA1-mediated release, growth inhibition of bacteria was observed. These results represent one of the first examples of a living organism used as a drug delivery system for the release of an antibiotic by UVA1-irradiation.

Benefits of pH-responsive polyelectrolyte coatings for carboxymethyl cellulose-based microparticles in the controlled release of esculin. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Moderate and prolonged payload release in response to a particular factor is highly demanded for efficient carriers of low-molecular-weight, chemically unstable phytopharmaceuticals. Thus, the objective of our contribution was to establish the effect of pH-responsive polyelectrolyte coatings on the release properties of carboxymethyl cellulose-based microparticles designed to deliver phytopharmaceuticals through the gastrointestinal tract. Microparticles were fabricated via extrusion coupled with external gelation and further coated with polyelectrolytes (PEs) (chitosan, gelatin, or PAH and PSS) involving electrostatic interactions. Successful deposition of PEs was confirmed by FTIR, and their thickness and viscosity were characterized in terms of QCM-D and ellipsometric techniques. The encapsulation efficiency of esculin, used as a model phytopharmaceutical, as proven by UV-Vis studies, was over 57%. SEM and fluorescence microscopy revealed a micrometric size, a mostly spherical shape and an altered topography of the investigated microcapsules. The physical stability of the microcapsules in media of various pH values was confirmed with CLSM and gravimetric studies. Studies on human gingival fibroblasts in vitro revealed that the obtained microparticles did not induce any cytotoxic effects. Payload release was monitored in situ by means of CLSM and ex situ under gastrointestinal conditions in vitro. Mathematical evaluation of the microparticle release profiles using classical models led to the establishment of a new hybrid model that revealed the mechanism behind esculin release. We demonstrated that the application of a polyelectrolyte shell onto CMC-based microspheres may provide controlled delivery of the payload, with its release triggered by the pH and ionic strength of the medium. These observations suggest that the release manner of small-molecule glycosides under gastrointestinal conditions can be tailored by careful selection of suitable materials to obtain biocompatible and functional hydrogel microparticles.

Abstract
Herein, thermo- and pH-sensitive pectin-graft-poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) copolymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized via a green and rapid synthetic approach based on microwave irradiation. Firstly, a novel thermo- and pH-sensitive pectin-graft-poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) copolymer (Pec-g-PolyDMAEMA) was synthesized and then, Pec-g-PolyDMAEMA based magnetic nanoparticles (Pec-g-PolyDMAEMA@Fe3O4) were produced via microwave-assisted co-precipitation method. The thermo/pH/magnetic field multi-sensitive hybrid nanoparticle was characterized by techniques like TEM, VSM, FT-IR, and TGA/DSC. In vitro release studies of 5-Fluorouracil (FL) were carried out by altering the temperature (37 and 44°C), pH (5.5 and 7.4) and presence of an AMF. The FL release of Pec-g-PolyDMAEMA@Fe3O4@FL exhibited pH-sensitive behavior. They showed thermo/pH-sensitive FL release features with the greatest release of FL at 37°C (56%) than at 44°C (40%) and at pH of 7.4 (63%) than at pH of 5.5 (45%) within 48h. The FL release was also significantly increased (100%) with the presence of a 50 mT magnetic field. These results indicate that the developed Pec-g-PolyDMAEMA@Fe3O4 nanoparticles are promising in the application of multi-stimuli-sensitive delivery of drugs.
