Bioact Mater 2024; 42:345-365. [PMID: 39290338 PMCID: PMC11406000 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 08/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, nanovaccine-based immunotherapy has been robustly investigated due to its potential in governing the immune response and generating long-term protective immunity. However, the presentation of a tumor peptide-major histocompatibility complex to T lymphocytes is still a challenge that needs to be addressed for eliciting potent antitumor immunity. Type 1 conventional dendritic cell (cDC1) subset is of particular interest due to its pivotal contribution in the cross-presentation of exogenous antigens to CD8+ T cells. Here, the DC-derived nanovaccine (denoted as Si9GM) selectively targets cDC1s with marginal loss of premature antigen release for effective stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-mediated antigen cross-presentation. Bone marrow dendritic cell (BMDC)-derived membranes, conjugated to cDC1-specific antibody (αCLEC9A) and binding to tumor peptide (OVA257-264), are coated onto dendrimer-like polyethylenimine (PEI)-grafted silica nanoparticles. Distinct molecular weight-cargos (αCLEC9A-OVA257-264 conjugates and 2'3'-cGAMP STING agonists) are loaded in hierarchical center-radial pores that enables lysosome escape for potent antigen-cross presentation and activates interferon type I, respectively. Impressively, Si9GM vaccination leads to the upregulation of cytotoxic T cells, a reduction in tumor regulatory T cells (Tregs), M1/M2 macrophage polarization, and immune response that synergizes with αPD-1 immune checkpoint blockade. This nanovaccine fulfills a dual role for both direct T cell activation as an artificial antigen-presenting cell and DC subset maturation, indicating its utility in clinical therapy and precision medicine.

Abstract
Three-dimensionally (3D) integrated metallic nanomaterials composed of two or more different types of nanostructures make up a class of advanced materials due to the multidimensional and synergistic effects between different components. However, designing and synthesizing intricate, well-defined metallic 3D nanomaterials remain great challenges. Here, a novel single-particle soft-enveloping strategy using a core-shell Au NP@mSiO2 particle as a template was proposed to synthesize 3D nanomaterials, namely, a Au nanoparticle@center-radial nanorod-Au-Pt nanoparticle (Au NP@NR-NP-Pt NP) superstructure. Taking advantage of the excellent plasmonic properties of Au NP@NR-NP by the synergistic plasmonic coupling of the outer Au NPs and inner Au nanorods, we can enhance the catalytic performance for 4-nitrophenol hydrogenation using Au NP@NR-NP-Pt NP as a photocatalyst with plasmon-excited hot electrons from Au NP@NR-NP under light irradiation, which is 2.76 times higher than in the dark. This process opens a door for the design of a new generation of 3D metallic nanomaterials for different fields.

Abstract
Hydrophobic antimicrobial peptide L30, a potential antibiotic candidate, has poor water solubility and hemolytic activity. Herein, a biocompatible nano-formulation composed of liposomes and dendritic mesoporous silica encapsulation (LDMSNs@L30) was constructed for L30 to solve the limits for its clinical development. The characterization, antimicrobial activity and therapeutic effect of LDMSNs@L30 on Staphylococcus aureus 9 (cfr+) infected mice models were investigated. LDMSNs@L30 displayed a smooth, spherical, and monodisperse nanoparticle with a hydrodynamic diameter of 177.40 nm, an encapsulation rate of 56.13%, a loading efficiency of 32.26%, a release rate of 66.5%, and effective slow-release of L30. Compared with free L30, the formulation could significantly increase the solubility of L30 in PBS with the maximum concentration from 8 μg/mL to 2.25 mg/mL and decrease the hemolytic activity of hydrophobic peptide L30 with the HC5 from 65.36 μg/mL to more than 500 μg/mL. The nano delivery system LDMSNs@L30 also exhibited higher therapeutic effects on mice models infected with S. aureus 9 (cfr+) than those of free L30 after 7 days of treatment by reducing the lung inflammation and the inflammatory cytokines levels in plasma, showing better health score and pulmonary pathological improvement. Our research suggests that nano-formulation can be expected to be a promising strategy for peptide drugs in therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SNP) have gained tremendous attention in the recent decades. They have been used in many different biomedical fields including diagnosis, biosensing and drug delivery. Medical uses of SNP for anti-cancer, anti-microbial and theranostic applications are especially prominent due to their exceptional performance to deliver many different small molecules and recently biologics (mRNA, siRNA, antigens, antibodies, proteins, and peptides) at targeted sites. The physical and chemical properties of SNP such as large specific surface area, tuneable particle size and porosity, excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility make them an ideal drug delivery and diagnostic platform. Based on the available data and the pre-clinical performance of SNP, recent interest has driven these innovative materials towards clinical application with many of the formulations already in Phase I and Phase II trials. Herein, the progress of SNP in biomedical field is reviewed, and their safety aspects are analysed. Importantly, we critically evaluate the key structural characteristics of SNP to overcome different biological barriers including the blood-brain barrier (BBB), skin, tumour barrier and mucosal barrier. Future directions, potential pathways, and target areas towards rapid clinical translation of SNP are also recommended.

Abstract
Equipped with hierarchical pores and three-dimensional (3D) center-radial channels, dendritic mesoporous nanoparticles (DMNs) make their pore volumes extremely large, specific surface areas super-high, internal spaces especially accessible, and so on. Other entities (like organic moieties or nanoparticles) can be modified onto the interfaces or skeletons of DMNs, accomplishing their functionalization for desirable applications. This comprehensive review emphasizes on the design and construction of DMNs-based systems which serve as sensors, adsorbents and catalysts for the detection, adsorption, and degradation of hazardous substances, mainly including the construction procedures of brand-new DMNs-based materials and the involved hazardous substances (like industrial chemicals, chemical dyes, heavy metal ions, medicines, pesticides, and harmful gases). The sensitive, adsorptive, or catalytic performances of various DMNs have been compared; correspondingly, the reaction mechanisms have been revealed strictly. It is honestly anticipated that the profound discussion could offer scientists certain enlightenment to design novel DMNs-based systems towards the detection, adsorption, and degradation of hazardous substances, respectively or comprehensively.

Abstract
Monitoring the biological fate of medicaments within the environments of cancer cells is an important challenge which is nowadays the object of intensive studies. In this regard, rhodamine-based supramolecular systems are one of the most suitable probes used in drug delivery thanks to their high emission quantum yield and sensitivity to the environment which helps to track the medicament in real time. In this work, we used steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy techniques to investigate the dynamics of the anticancer drug, topotecan (TPT), in water (pH ~6.2) in the presence of a rhodamine-labeled methylated β-cyclodextrin (RB-RM-βCD). A stable complex of 1:1 stoichiometry is formed with a Keq value of ~4 × 104 M-1 at room temperature. The fluorescence signal of the caged TPT is reduced due to: (1) the CD confinement effect; and (2) a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) process from the trapped drug to the RB-RM-βCD occurring in ~43 ps with 40% efficiency. These findings provide additional knowledge about the spectroscopic and photodynamic interactions between drugs and fluorescent functionalized CDs, and may lead to the design of new fluorescent CD-based host-guest nanosystems with efficient FRET to be used in bioimaging for drug delivery monitoring.

Abstract
Global waste production is anticipated reach to 2.59 billion tons in 2030, thus accentuating issues of environmental pollution and health security. 37 % of waste is landfilled, 33 % is discharged or burned in open areas, and only 13.5 % is recycled, which makes waste management poorly efficient in the context of the circular economy. There is therefore a need for methods to recycle waste into valuable materials through resource recovery process. Progress in the field of recycling is strongly dependent on the development of efficient, stable, and reusable, yet inexpensive catalysts. In this case, a growing attention has been paid to development and application of nanobiocatalysts with promising features. The main purpose of this review paper is to: (i) introduce nanobiomaterials and describe their effective role in the preparation of functional nanobiocatalysts for the recourse recovery aims; (ii) provide production methods and the efficiency improvement of nanobaiocatalysts; (iii) give comprehensive description of valued resource recovery for reducing toxic chemicals from the contaminated environment; (iv) describe various technologies for the valued resource recovery; (v) state the limitation of the valued resource recovery; (vi) and finally economic importance and current scenario of nanobiocatalysts strategies applicable for the resource recovery processes.

Abstract
A brain tumor is an uncontrolled cell proliferation, a mass of tissue composed of cells that grow and divide abnormally and appear to be uncontrollable by the processes that normally control normal cells. Approximately 25,690 primary malignant brain tumors are discovered each year, 70% of which originate in glial cells. It has been observed that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits the distribution of drugs into the tumour environment, which complicates the oncological therapy of malignant brain tumours. Numerous studies have found that nanocarriers have demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy in brain diseases. This review, based on a non-systematic search of the existing literature, provides an update on the existing knowledge of the types of dendrimers, synthesis methods, and mechanisms of action in relation to brain tumours. It also discusses the use of dendrimers in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours and the future possibilities of dendrimers. Dendrimers are of particular interest in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours because they can transport biochemical agents across the BBB to the tumour and into the brain after systemic administration. Dendrimers are being used to develop novel therapeutics such as prolonged release of drugs, immunotherapy, and antineoplastic effects. The use of PAMAM, PPI, PLL and surface engineered dendrimers has proven revolutionary in the effective diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications, and aberrant glycosylation is associated with the occurrence and development of diseases. Deciphering abnormal glycosylation changes can identify disease-specific signatures to facilitate the discovery of potential disease biomarkers. However, glycosylation analysis is challenging due to the diversity of glycans, heterogeneity of glycosites, and poor electrospray ionization of mass spectrometry. To overcome these obstacles, glycosylation is often elucidated using enriched glycopeptides by removing highly abundant non-glycopeptides. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) is widely used for glycopeptide enrichment due to its excellent selectivity and specificity to hydrophilic glycans and compatibility with mass spectrometry. However, the development of HILIC has lagged far behind hydrophobic interaction chromatography, so efforts to further improve the performance of HILIC are beneficial for glycosylation analysis. This review discusses recent developments in HILIC materials and their advanced applications. Based on the physiochemical properties of glycopeptides, the use of amino acids or peptides as stationary phases showed improved enrichment and separation of glycopeptides. We can envision that the use of glycopeptides as stationary phases would definitely further improve the selectivity and specificity of HILIC for glycosylation analysis.

Abstract
In this study, novel folate-receptor-targeted polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer functional mesoporous silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles were prepared for drug delivery agents for photodynamic therapy applications. The surface of the magnetic nanoparticles was coated with mesoporous silica (M-MSN). The M-MSN nanoparticles were functionalized with siloxane-cored PAMAM dendrons (generation 1 to 3). The surface of the M-MSN-PAMAM nanocarriers was targeted with folic acid. Indocyanine green (ICG) a near-infrared dye was loaded in the M-MSN-PAMAM nanocarriers and the photodynamic therapy efficiency of the drug-loaded nanocarriers was evaluated on MCF-7 cells. MCF-7 cells were subjected to tissue culture E-Plate that was used to generate dynamic real-time data by measuring electrical impedance across interdigitated microelectrodes on the bottom of the plate. Light source (LEDs) was designed as a system that fit 96 well-plate and cells were irradiated at 785 nm for 20 min. Also, these results were confirmed by WST-1 assay in dark and light conditions for MCF-7 cells. The results showed that in vitro application of ICG loaded M-MSN-PAMAM-FA causes apoptosis in the MCF-7 cell line.

Abstract
Purpose VicR is the essential response regulator related to the synthesis of exopolysaccharide (EPS) – one of the main cariogenic factors of S. mutans. An antisense vicR RNA (ASvicR) could bind to vicR mRNA, hindering the transcription and translation of the vicR gene. We had constructed a recombinant plasmid containing the ASvicR sequence (plasmid-ASvicR) and proved that it could reduce EPS synthesis, biofilm formation, and cariogenicity. However, the recombinant plasmids are supposed to be protected from enzymatic degradation and possess higher transformation efficiency. The principal objective of the present research was to construct an appropriate vector that can carry and protect the plasmid-ASvicR and investigate the effects of the carried plasmids on the cariogenicity of the S. mutans. Methods Aminated dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs-NH2) were synthesized and characterized. The ability of DMSNs-NH2 to carry and preserve the plasmid-ASvicR (DMSNs-NH2-ASvicR) was proved by the loading curve, agarose electrophoresis, DNase I digestion assays, and energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) mapping. Transformation assays demonstrated whether the plasmid could enter S. mutans. The effect of DMSNs-NH2-ASvicR on the 12-hour and 24-hour biofilms of S. mutans was evaluated by biofilm formation experiments and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The cytotoxicity of DMSNs-NH2-ASvicR was assessed by CCK-8 and live/dead staining assays. The regulation of DMSNs-NH2-ASvicR on the cariogenicity of S. mutans was also evaluated in vivo. Results DMSNs-NH2 could load approximately 92% of plasmid-ASvicR at a mass ratio of 80 and protect most of plasmid-ASvicR from degradation by DNase I. The plasmid-ASvicR loaded on DMSNs-NH2 could be transformed into S. mutans, which down-regulated the expression of the vicR gene, reducing EPS synthesis and biofilm organization of S. mutans. DMSNs-NH2-ASvicR exhibited favorable biocompatibility, laying a foundation for its subsequent biomedical application. In addition, DMSNs-NH2-ASvicR led to decreased caries in vivo. Conclusion DMSNs-NH2 is a suitable vector of plasmid-ASvicR, and DMSNs-NH2-ASvicR can inhibit biofilm formation, reducing the cariogenicity of S. mutans. These findings reveal that DMSNs-NH2-ASvicR is a promising agent for preventing and treating dental caries.

Abstract
The combined detection of CA125, CEA and AFP is of great significance in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Photonic crystal (PhC) barcodes have apparent advantages in multiplex immunoassays of ovarian cancer markers. In this paper, a novel PhC barcode was assembled from dendritic silica nanoparticles (dSiO2) for multiplex detection of ovarian cancer biomarkers. The interconnected macroporous structure of the dSiO2 PhC beads and the open porous topography of dendritic silica particles could increase the surface area to volume ratio for antibody immobilization. We simultaneously detected multiple ovarian cancer markers in one test tube using the sandwich immunization method by utilizing dSiO2 PhC beads as a barcode and CdTe QDs as a detection signal. The detection limits of the three ovarian cancer markers, AFP, CEA and CA125, were 0.52 ng mL-1, 0.64 ng mL-1 and 0.79 U mL-1, respectively (the signal-to-noise ratio was 3). Compared with the classic silica colloidal crystal bead (SCCB) suspension array, the sensitivity of the dSiO2 PhC bead suspension array was increased. In addition, the results showed that this barcode suspension array had acceptable accuracy and good reproducibility.

Abstract
This study reports the isolation and partial purification of transaminase from the wild species of Bacillus licheniformis. Semi-purified transaminase was immobilized on copper nanoflowers (NFs) synthesized through sonochemical method and explored it as a nanobiocatalyst. The conditions for the synthesis of transaminase NFs [TA@Cu3(PO4)2NF] were optimized. Synthesized NFs revealed the protein loading and activity yield-60 ± 5% and 70 ± 5%, respectively. The surface morphology of the synthesized hybrid NFs was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which revealed the average size to be around 1 ± 0.5 μm. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) was used to confirm the presence of the enzyme inside the immobilized matrix. In addition, circular dichroism and florescence spectroscopy were also used to confirm the integrity of the secondary and tertiary structures of the protein in the immobilized material. The transaminase hybrid NFs exhibited enhanced kinetic properties and stability over the free enzyme and revealed high reusability. Furthermore, the potential application of the immobilized transaminase hybrid NFs was demonstrated in the resolution of racemic α-methyl benzylamine.

Abstract
Functional mesoporous materials have gained tremendous attention due to their distinctive properties and potential applications. In recent decades, the self-assembly of micelles and framework precursors into mesostructures on the liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid interface has been explored in the construction of functional mesoporous materials with diverse compositions, morphologies, mesostructures, and pore sizes. Compared with the one-phase solution synthetic approach, the introduction of a two-phase interface in the synthetic system changes self-assembly behaviors between micelles and framework species, leading to the possibility for the on-demand fabrication of unique mesoporous architectures. In addition, controlling the interfacial tension is critical to manipulate the self-assembly process for precise synthesis. In particular, recent breakthroughs based on the concept of the "monomicelles" assembly mechanism are very promising and interesting for the synthesis of functional mesoporous materials with the precise control. In this review, we highlight the synthetic strategies, principles, and interface engineering at the macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale for oriented interfacial assembly of functional mesoporous materials over the past 10 years. The potential applications in various fields, including adsorption, separation, sensors, catalysis, energy storage, solar cells, and biomedicine, are discussed. Finally, we also propose the remaining challenges, possible directions, and opportunities in this field for the future outlook.

Abstract
Recently, a new family of "dendritic" mesoporous silica nanoparticles has attracted great interest with widespread applications. Despite a large number of publications (>800), the terminology of "dendritic" is ambiguous. Understanding what possible "dendritic structures" are, their formation mechanisms and the underlying structure-property relationship is fundamentally important. With the advance of characterization techniques such as electron tomography, two types of tree branch-like and flower-like structures can be distinguished, both described as "dendritic" in literature. In this review, we start with the definition of "dendritic", then provide critical analysis of reported dendritic silica nanoparticles according to their structural classification. We also update the understandings of the formation mechanisms of two types of "dendritic" nanoparticles, with a focus on how to control different structural parameters. Various applications of dendritic mesoporous nanoparticles are also reviewed with a focus in biomedical field, providing new insights into the structure-property relationship in this family of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-22 is a multifunctional cytokine with a very short half-life that activates STAT3 and can elicit strong anti-inflammatory effects in the intestine but can induce inflammation in other sites. Several long-circulating IL-22 fusion proteins have been manufactured to date; however, those were associated with adverse effects in other organs limiting their utility for treating intestinal inflammation. Targeted delivery of IL-22 to the intestine could utilize its anti-inflammatory properties and overcome systemic toxicity. Therefore, this study aimed to synthesise large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (LPMSN), load recombinant (r)IL-22 in the LPMSN and test its bioactivity in the STAT3 reporter LS174T, wild type LS174T, Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells, and healthy human colonic organoids. Our data showed one hundred percent loading capacity (w/w) of the synthesised LPMSN, which prolonged IL-22 induced STAT3 luciferase activities in LS174T and p-STAT3 immunofluorescence in Caco-2 cells. LPMSN also stabilized and increased the permeability of rIL-22 across Caco-2 monolayers. Moreover, LPMSN-IL-22 retained the functionality of the cytokine in human colonic organoids. Taken together, these data demonstrate the protection and effective delivery of IL-22 using bio-nanomaterials (LPMSN) that could enable targeted oral delivery of this IL-22.

Abstract
Citronellol (CI)-loaded, chitosan (CS)-enclosed dendritic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (CI@D-MONs@CS) are successfully fabricated. The synthesized CI@D-MONs@CS present spherical shape with the particle size of 424±24 nm in diameter and dendritic mesopores. CI loading ratio of CI@D-MONs@CS is about 12.42% from TGA analysis. CI release from CI@D-MONs@CS exhibits pH-redox dual responsiveness. More interesting, the axillary deodorant effect is investigated with Staphylococcus haemolyticus in an artificial sweat model. The results show that CI@D-MONs@CS present an excellent bacteria-killing effect and the smell of artificial sweat is greatly improved, avoiding the formation of undesirable odorant compounds from the bacteria. The obtained CI@D-MONs@CS is a potential carrier of natural fragrance or actives with dual responsive release. The application of CI@D-MONs@CS is a new and effective strategy to the axillary odor problem.

Abstract
Surface roughness endows microspheres with unique and useful features and properties like improved hydrophobicity, enhanced adhesion, improved stability at the oil-water interface, and superior cell uptake properties, thus expanding their applications. Core-shell magnetic mesoporous microspheres combine the advantages of magnetic particles and mesoporous materials and have exhibited wide applications in adsorption, catalysis, separation, and drug delivery. In this study, virus-like rough core-shell-shell-structured magnetic mesoporous organosilica (denoted as RMMOS) microspheres with controllable surface roughness were successfully obtained through electrostatic interaction-directed interface co-assembly. The obtained RMMOS microspheres possess uniform spherical morphology with tunable surface roughness, radially aligned pore channels with a diameter of 3.0 nm in the outer organosilica shell, high specific surface area (396 m2/g), large pore volume (0.66 cm3/g), high magnetization (35.1 emu/g), and superparamagnetic property. The RMMOS microspheres serve as desirable candidates to support Au nanoparticles (2.5 nm) and show superior catalytic activity and excellent stability in hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol. In addition, the RMMOS microspheres modified with carboxylic groups further displayed promising performance in convenient adsorption removal of dyes in polluted water.

Current Status of Brain Tumor in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Application of Nanobiotechnology for Its Treatment: A Comprehensive Review. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:421. [PMID: 34063122 PMCID: PMC8148129 DOI: 10.3390/life11050421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Brain tumors are the most challenging of all tumors and accounts for about 3% of all cancer allied deaths. The aim of the present review is to examine the brain tumor prevalence and treatment modalities available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of the application of various nanotechnology-based products for brain cancer treatments along with their prospective future advancements. METHODS A literature review was performed to identify and summarize the current status of brain cancer in Saudi Arabia and the scope of nanobiotechnology in its treatment. RESULTS Depending upon the study population data analysis, gliomas, astrocytoma, meningioma, and metastatic cancer have a higher incidence rate in Saudi Arabia than in other countries, and are mostly treated in accordance with conventional treatment modalities for brain cancer. Due to the poor prognosis of cancer, it has an average survival rate of 2 years. Conventional therapy includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and a combination thereof, but these do not control the disease's recurrence. Among the various nanomaterials discussed, liposomes and polymeric nanoformulations have demonstrated encouraging outcomes for facilitated brain cancer treatment. CONCLUSIONS Nanomaterials possess the capacity to overcome the shortcomings of conventional therapies. Polymer-based nanomaterials have shown encouraging outcomes against brain cancer when amalgamated with other nano-based therapies. Nonetheless, nanomaterials could be devised that possess minimal toxicity towards normal cells or that specifically target tumor cells. In addition, rigorous clinical investigations are warranted to prepare them as an efficient and safe modality for brain cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have attracted increased attention because of their excellent drug-carrying capacity. However, these nanomaterials are rarely used in the treatment of metabolic diseases. Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has been widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Furthermore, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) has been found to improve glucose metabolism and insulin resistance (IR). To investigate whether these two molecules have synergistic effects in vivo, we developed a novel drug delivery system using amino-functionalized and embedded dual-mesoporous silica nanoparticles (N-EDMSNs) to simultaneously carry liraglutide and FGF-21, and observed their biological effects. The resultant N-EDMSNs possessed unique hierarchical porous structures consisting of open large pores (>10 nm) and small mesopores (~2.5 nm) in the silica framework, highly positively charged surfaces and good disperisity in aqueous solution. We found that N-EDMSNs had a high loading capacity for exogenous genes and low toxicity to Hepa1-6 cells. Moreover, N-EDMSNs can simultaneously carry FGF-21 plasmids and liraglutide and successfully transfect them into Hepa1-6 cells. The transfection efficiency of N-EDMSNs was higher than that of Lipofectamine 2000 in vitro. In mice experiments, N-EDMSNs/pFGF21 treatment resulted in higher FGF-21 expression in the liver than pFGF21 treatment with hydrodynamic delivery. Compared with both pFGF21 and liraglutide, N-EDMSNs/pFGF21/Lira treatment significantly reduced the food intake, body weight, and blood glucose; increased the energy expenditure and improved hepatic IR in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. Our results demonstrated that the biological effects of N-EDMSNs/pFGF21/Lira complexes were better than those of pFGF21 combined with liraglutide in vivo.

Abstract
Drug resistance and side effects are the two main problems of chemotherapy. In order to address these big challenges, p-PB@d-SiO2, which has the ability to co-deliver both the hydrophobic drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and the hydrophilic drug ibuprofen (IBU), is constructed to achieve synergistic treatment. The drug-loaded nanoparticle consists of porous Prussian blue (p-PB) as the core and dendrimer-like SiO2 (d-SiO2) as the shell, which is further thiolated and coated with polyethylene glycol thiol (HS-PEG) to form the "Dual-Key-and-Lock" drug carrier p-PB@d-SiO2-SS-PEG. The locked drugs can only be released in the presence of cooperative triggers, i.e., a high glutathione concentration (the first key) and an acidic environment (the second key). The "dual key"-triggered release is much more significant in cancer lesions than in normal tissues, reducing side effects. Furthermore, cell viability experiments highlight the superior therapeutic efficacy of the dual-drug-loaded nanoparticles compared with the single-drug systems (60%, 73% and 86% vs. 56%, 68%, and 76% at 100, 200 and 500 μg mL-1, respectively). In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate the potential application of p-PB@d-SiO2-SS-PEG for dual-mode fluorescence and magnetic-resonance-imaging-guided chemo-photothermal therapy. The "Dual-Key-and-Lock" drug carrier system exhibits the "1 + 1 > 2" effect, demonstrating its excellent performance in synergy therapy for improved therapeutic efficiency and thereby reducing conventional drug resistance and side effects.

Abstract
Owing to their attractive physicochemical and morphological attributes, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have attracted increasing attention over the past two decades for their utilization in diversified fields. Despite the success, these highly stable siliceous frameworks often suffer from several shortcomings of compatibility issues, uncontrollable degradability leading to long-term retention in vivo, and substantial unpredictable toxicity risks, as well as deprived drug encapsulation efficiency, which could limit their applicability in medicine. Along this line, various advancements have been made in re-engineering the stable siliceous frameworks, such as the incorporation of diverse molecular organic, as well as inorganic (cationic and anionic) species and monitoring the processing, as well as formulation parameters, resulting in the hetero-nanostructures of irregular-shaped (Janus and multi-podal) and dynamically-modulated (deformable solids) architectures with high morphological complexity. Insightfully, this review gives a brief emphasis on re-engineering such stable siliceous frameworks through modifying their intrinsic structural and physicochemical attributes. In conclusion, we recapitulate the review with exciting perspectives.

Abstract
The direct depletion of lactate accumulated in the tumor microenvironment holds promise for cancer therapy but remains challenging. Herein, we report a one-pot synthesis of openwork@ dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (ODMSNs) to address this problem. ODMSNs self-assembled through a time-resolved lamellar growth mechanism feature an openworked core and a dendritic shell, both constructed by silica nanosheets of ≈3 nm. With a large pore size, high surface area and pore volume, ODMSNs exhibited a high loading capacity (>0.7 g g-1 ) of lactate oxidase (LOX) and enabled intratumoral lactate depletion by >99.9 %, leading to anti-angiogenesis, down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor, and increased tumor hypoxia. The latter event facilitates the activation of a co-delivered prodrug for enhancing anti-tumor and anti-metastasis efficacy. This study provides an innovative nano-delivery system and demonstrates the first example of direct lactate-depletion-enabled chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cell adhesion of nanosystems is significant for efficient cellular uptake and drug delivery in cancer therapy. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) light-driven biomimetic nanomotor is reported to achieve the improved cell adhesion and cellular uptake for synergistic photothermal and chemotherapy of breast cancer. The nanomotor is composed of carbon@silica (C@SiO2 ) with semi-yolk@spiky-shell structure, loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and camouflaged with MCF-7 breast cancer cell membrane (i.e., mC@SiO2 @DOX). Such biomimetic mC@SiO2 @DOX nanomotors display efficient self-thermophoretic propulsion due to a thermal gradient generated by asymmetrically spatial distribution. Moreover, the MCF-7 cancer cell membrane coating can remarkably reduce the bioadhesion of nanomotors in biological medium and exhibit highly specific self-recognition of the source cell line. The combination of effective propulsion and homologous targeting dramatically improves cell adhesion and the resultant cellular uptake efficiency in vitro from 26.2% to 67.5%. Therefore, the biomimetic mC@SiO2 @DOX displays excellent synergistic photothermal and chemotherapy with over 91% MCF-7 cell growth inhibition rate. Such smart design of the fuel-free, NIR light-powered biomimetic nanomotor may pave the way for the application of self-propelled nanomotors in biomedicine.

Abstract
The biotic deterioration of artifacts of archaeological and artistic interest mostly relies on the action of microorganisms capable of thriving under the most disparate environmental conditions. Thus, to attenuate biodeterioration phenomena, biocides can be used by the restorers to prevent or slow down the microbial growth. However, several factors such as biocide half-life, its wash-out because of environmental conditions, and its limited time of action make necessary its application repeatedly, leading to negative economic implications. Sound and successful treatments are represented by controlled release systems (CRSs) based on porous materials. Here, we report on the design and development of a CRS system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), as a carrier, and loaded with a biocide. MSNs, with a diameter of 55 nm and cylindrical pores of ca. 3-8 nm arranged as parallel arrays concerning the NP diameter, and with 422 m2/g of specific surface area were synthesized by the sol-gel method assisted by oil in water emulsion. Biocide loading and release were carried out in water and monitored by UV-Vis Spectroscopy; in addition, microbiological assay was performed using as control the MCM-41 mesoporous silica loaded with the same biocide. The role of specific supramolecular interaction in regulating the release is discussed. Further, we demonstrated that this innovative formulation was useful in inhibiting the in vitro growth of Kocuria rhizophila, an environmental Gram-positive bacterial strain. Besides, the CRS here prepared reduced the bacterial biomass contaminating a real case study (i.e., stone derived from the Santa Margherita cave located in Sicily, Italy), after several months of treatment thus opening for innovative treatments of deteriorated stone artifacts.

Abstract
The large particle sizes, inert frameworks, and small pore sizes of mesoporous silica nanoparticles greatly restrict their application in the acidic catalysis. The research reports a simple and versatile approach to synthesize walnut-like mesoporous silica nanospheres (WMSNs) with large tunable pores and small particle sizes by assembling with Beta seeds. The as-synthesized Beta-WMSNs composite materials possess ultrasmall particulate sizes (70 nm), large radial mesopores (≈30 nm), and excellent acidities (221.6 mmol g-1 ). Ni2 P active phase is supported on the surface of Beta-WMSNs composite materials, and it is found that the obtained composite spherical materials can reduce the Ni2 P particle sizes from 8.4 to 4.8 nm with the increasing amount of Beta seeds, which can provide high accessibilities of reactants to the active sites. Furthermore, the unique large pores and ultrasmall particle sizes of Beta-WMSNs samples facilitate the reduction of the diffusion resistance of reactants due to the short transporting length, thus the corresponding Ni2 P/Beta-WMSNs composite catalysts show the excellent hydrogenating activity compared to the pure Ni2 P/WMSNs catalyst.

Abstract
Synergistic therapy with high efficacy and low side effects is of great significance in cancer treatment, and therefore the elaborate design of advanced nanocarriers to benefit diverse loading requirements of size-varied therapy agents is of critical importance. Herein, we demonstrate a multifunctional drug carrier platform based on a hierarchical porous and -NH2-modified silica nanocarrier (FMSN) with a super high specific surface area and a large pore volume, which not only improves the loading capacity of both doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug, and black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs), a kind of biocompatible photothermal agent, but also enhances the photothermal stability and biostability of the degradable BPQDs. The unique structure and surface design enable our multimodal platform with heat-stimulative, pH-responsive and sustained-release properties for chemo-photothermal synergistic cancer therapy. Both cytotoxicity experiments and in vivo study reveal that the combined therapy based on our multifunctional nanohybrids mediates the highest death rate of cancer cells compared to that of single chemotherapy or photothermal therapy. Our hierarchical mesoporous strategy provides an excellent drug delivery model for advanced chemo-photothermal synergistic targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
The interest in the design and controlled fabrication of dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (DMSNs) emanates from their widespread application in drug-delivery carriers, catalysis and nanodevices owing to their unique open three-dimensional dendritic superstructures with large pore channels and highly accessible internal surface areas. A variety of synthesis strategies have been reported, but there is no basic consensus on the elucidation of the pore structure and the underlying formation mechanism of DMSNs. Although all the DMSNs show a certain degree of similarity in structure, do they follow the same synthesis mechanism? What are the exact pore structures of DMSNs? How did the bimodal pore size distributions kinetically evolve in the self-assembly? Can the relative fractions of small mesopores and dendritic large pores be precisely adjusted? In this review, by carefully analysing the structures and deeply understanding the formation mechanism of each reported DMSN and coupling this with our research results on this topic, we conclude that all the DMSNs indeed have the same mesostructures and follow the same dynamic self-assembly mechanism using microemulsion droplets as super templates in the early reaction stage, even without the oil phase.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery of functional proteins is a promising, but challenging, strategy for many therapeutic applications. Here, we report a new methodology that overcomes drawbacks of traditional mesoporous silica (MSi) particles for protein delivery. We hypothesize that engineering enhancement in interactions between proteins and delivery vehicles can facilitate efficient encapsulation and intracellular delivery. In this strategy, surface lysines in proteins were modified with a self-immolative linker containing a terminal boronic acid for stimulus-induced reversibility in functionalization. The boronic acid moiety serves to efficiently interact with amine-functionalized MSi through dative and electrostatic interactions. We show that proteins of different sizes and isoelectric points can be quantitatively encapsulated into MSi, even at low protein concentrations. We also show that the proteins can be efficiently delivered into cells with retention of activity. Utility of this approach is further demonstrated with gene editing in cells, through the delivery of a CRISPR/Cas9 complex.

Abstract
Dendritic large-pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DLMSN) is an important biodegradable drug carrier due to its high porosity, which can be prepared by coassembly of a major template and an auxiliary template in aqueous solution, followed by hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The auxiliary template is key to obtaining dendritic large-pore structures; however, how to choose the auxiliary template to obtain the desired pore structure is largely unknown. This is because the formation mechanism of DLMSN is still not clear. In this study, a series of therapeutic agent molecules were used as the auxiliary templates to study the control of the pore morphology of DLMSN. Transmission electron microscopy observation and theoretical modeling were used to study the micelle formation, and early stage silica formation was also observed. It is proposed that the silica branches and sheets formed by hydrolysis of TEOS on single micelle and micelle bundles, which formed the initial nanoparticles with spherical structures and new silica species growing on the early formed particles to form DLMSN. The fine control of pore morphology was demonstrated by using auxiliary templates with different structural characteristics, which were used for selective drug loading. This work provides a design strategy of how to choose suitable auxiliary templates for preparing DLMSN with desired pore structure for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Development of mobile composition of matter (MCM)-41 silica nanoparticles faces challenges, e.g. surface charge properties, antigen loading efficiency, protecting from enzymes and harsh GIT environment and effective release at target mucosal site. We report the production and characterization of polymer and amine modified MCM-41 type silica nanoparticles for oral antigen delivery using ovalbumin (OVA) as model antigen. Nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, circular dichroism (CD), sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), mucin binding, stability in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and in vitro OVA release in SGF and SIF. Unmodified nanoparticles size of 146 nm increased to 175-321 nm after modification while modified particles remained intact for more than 3 h in SGF and 96 h in SIF (DLS and SEM). Mucin binding proved polyethylene glycol (PEG) and chitosan modified nanoparticles as potential candidates for oral mucosa delivery. Both showed highest OVA encapsulation at 67% and 73%, and sustained OVA release in SIF (96 h) at 65% and 64% respectively. BET results showed that nanopores were not blocked during surface modification. CD and SDS-PAGE showed that OVA conformational structure did not change after release from the nanoparticles.

Abstract
Bone diseases, such as bone cancer, bone infection and osteoporosis, constitute a major issue for modern societies as a consequence of their progressive ageing. Even though these pathologies can be currently treated in the clinic, some of those treatments present drawbacks that may lead to severe complications. For instance, chemotherapy lacks great tumor tissue selectivity, affecting healthy and diseased tissues. In addition, the inappropriate use of antimicrobials is leading to the appearance of drug-resistant bacteria and persistent biofilms, rendering current antibiotics useless. Furthermore, current antiosteoporotic treatments present many side effects as a consequence of their poor bioavailability and the need to use higher doses. In view of the existing evidence, the encapsulation and selective delivery to the diseased tissues of the different therapeutic compounds seem highly convenient. In this sense, silica-based mesoporous nanoparticles offer great loading capacity within their pores, the possibility of modifying the surface to target the particles to the malignant areas and great biocompatibility. This manuscript is intended to be a comprehensive review of the available literature on complex bone diseases treated with silica-based mesoporous nanoparticles-the further development of which and eventual translation into the clinic could bring significant benefits for our future society.

Abstract
In this study, dendritic fibrous core–shell silica particles having cubic morphology with uniform and vertical nanochannels have been successfully synthesised. The synthesized dendritic fibrous nanosilica over a cubic core (cSiO2@DFNS) have been characterized by using various techniques, such as powder X-ray diffraction, TEM, FE-SEM, TGA EDS, FT-IR and N2 adsorption–desorption experiments. The prepared DFNS particles demonstrated a very high surface area and pore diameter. Amine groups were functionalized on the fibres of cSiO2@DFNS and after that silver nanoparticles could be successfully immobilized on amine functionalized cubic silica particles. Due to the presence of a high surface area and a uniform pore diameter, the silver nanoparticle loaded cSiO2@DFNS could be successfully employed as an efficient and recoverable catalyst for reduction of toxic aromatic nitro compounds and degradation of organic dyes. Higher catalytic activity of the prepared material could be attributed to its fibrous morphology which could facilitate proper interactions of the reactants molecules with the silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
Human neuroscience has made remarkable progress in understanding basic aspects of functional organization; it is a renowned fact that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) impedes the permeation and access of most drugs to central nervous system (CNS) and that many neurological diseases remain undertreated. Therefore, a number of nanocarriers have been designed over the past few decades to deliver drugs to the brain. Among these nanomaterials, dendrimers have procured an enormous attention from scholars because of their nanoscale uniform size, ease of multi-functionalization, and available internal cavities. As hyper-branched 3D macromolecules, dendrimers can be maneuvered to transport diverse therapeutic agents, incorporating small molecules, peptides, and genes; diminishing their cytotoxicity; and improving their efficacy. Herein, the present review will give exhaustive details of extensive researches in the field of dendrimer-based vehicles to deliver drugs through the BBB in a secure and effectual manner.

Abstract
Gene therapy is one of the most common and effective ways for the regeneration of defective bone tissue, but even highly efficient gene delivery vectors are insufficient. In this study, bone morphogenetic protein-2 plasmid (pBMP-2) was encapsulated by polyethylenimine-modified porous silica nanoparticles (PPSNs), which were synthesized via an ethyl ether emulsion method. Owing to the high specific surface area and high absorption characteristics, low cytotoxicy PPSNs can efficiently load and protect pBMP-2. The resulting PPSN/pBMP-2 can transfect MC3T3-E1 cells effectively to promote osteogenic differentiation and increase calcium deposition in vitro. Interestingly, the mass of calcium deposition nodules decreased dur to the presence of an autophagy inhibitor, demonstrating that PPSNs stimulated the autophagy pathway. Because of their excellent biocompatibility, high transfection efficiency, and ability to stimulate autophagy, the as-prepared PPSN/pBMP-2 could efficiently transfect local cells in a defect area in vivo. Micro-computed tomography and histological images demonstrated that PPSN/pBMP-2 could efficiently promote new bone formation in a 5 mm sized rat calvarial defect model. Taken together, our newly synthesized PPSNs could efficiently carry pBMP-2 and deliver it to the target cells as well as stimulating the autophagy pathway, resulting in significant osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Alloying palladium (Pd) catalysts with various metalloid and nonmetal elements can improve their catalytic performance in different chemical reactions. However, current nanosynthesis methods can only generate Pd alloys containing one metalloid or nonmetal, which limits the types of element combinations that may be used to improve Pd-based nanocatalysts. Herein, we report a simple soft-templating synthetic strategy to co-alloy Pd with the metalloid boron (B) and the nonmetal phosphorus (P) to generate ternary PdBP mesoporous nanospheres (MSs) with three-dimensional dendritic frameworks. We use a one-step aqueous synthesis method where dimethylamine borane and sodium hypophosphite serve as the B and P sources, respectively, as well as the co-reducing agents to drive the nucleation and growth of ternary PdBP alloy on a sacrificial dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride template. The concentration of metalloid to nonmetal and the diameters of dendritic MSs can be tailored. The synthetic protocol is also extended to other multicomponent PdMBP alloy MSs to generate different types of dendritic mesoporous frameworks. Boron and phosphorus are known to accelerate the kinetics of the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and alcohol oxidation reactions (AORs), because their alloys promote the decomposition of oxygen-containing intermediates on Pd surfaces. The dendritic mesoporous morphology of the ternary PdBP MSs also accelerates electron/mass transfer and exposes numerous active sites, enabling better performance in the ORR and AORs. Extending the surfactant-templating synthetic route to multiple types of elements will enable the generation of libraries of multicomponent metal-metalloid-nonmetal alloy nanostructures with functions that are suitable for various targeted applications.

Abstract
Herein, a series of wrinkled silica nanoparticles with hierarchical pore (HPWSNs) supports were successfully prepared by dual-templating, and the special wrinkle pore structures in the monodisperse HPWSN samples were found to be beneficial for reducing the diffusion resistance of macromolecular aromatic compounds and achieving high dispersion of Ni2P active phases. Moreover, the distance between wrinkles in silica nanoparticles could be easily tuned by changing the ratios of SDS/CTAB through charge-reversed interactions. It was found that the Ni2P/HPWSNs-0.13 catalyst with smallest Ni2P particles had highest surface area and biggest pore volume. Furthermore, the Ni2P/HPWSNs-0.13 catalyst exhibited highest naphthalene hydrogenation conversion as well as 99.9% selectivity to decalin at 320 °C. To correlate the internal relationship between the macroscopic catalytic performance in the experiment and the atomic chemistry in the microscopic point of view, DFT calculations were performed, and the results showed that stronger adsorptions of naphthalene and tetralin occurred over the Ni(2) sites than those over the Ni(1) sites. Therefore, it can be concluded that the superior catalytic activity of the Ni2P/HPWSNs-0.13 catalyst is due to the synergistic effect of the center-radical framework structure and the small sizes of Ni2P particles, which are conducive to exposing more Ni(2) sites on the support surface, thus inducing more H for the naphthalene hydrogenation reaction.
