Abstract
Polymersomes are vesicular nanostructures enclosed by a bilayer-membrane self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers, which exhibit higher stability compared with their biological analogues (e.g. liposomes). Due to their versatility, polymersomes have found various applications in different research fields such as drug delivery, nanomedicine, biological nanoreactors, and artificial cells. However, polymersomes prepared with high molecular weight components typically display low permeability to molecules and ions. It hence remains a major challenge to balance the opposing features of robustness and permeability of polymersomes. In this review, we focus on the design and strategies for fabricating permeable polymersomes, including polymersomes with intrinsic permeability, the formation of nanopores in the membrane bilayers by protein insertion, and the construction of stimuli-responsive polymersomes. Then, we highlight the applications of permeable polymersomes in the fields of biomimetic nanoreactors, artificial cells and organelles, and nanomedicine, to underline the challenges in the development of polymersomes as soft matter with biomedical utilities.

Abstract
The targeted delivery of cancer drugs to tumor-specific molecular targets represents a major challenge in modern personalized cancer medicine. Engineering of micron and submicron polymeric multilayer capsules allows the obtaining of multifunctional theranostic systems serving as controllable stimulus-responsive tools with a high clinical potential to be used in cancer therapy and detection. The functionalities of such theranostic systems are determined by the design and structural properties of the capsules. This review (1) describes the current issues in designing cancer cell-targeting polymeric multilayer capsules, (2) analyzes the effects of the interactions of the capsules with the cellular and molecular constituents of biological fluids, and (3) presents the key structural parameters determining the effectiveness of capsule targeting. The influence of the morphological and physicochemical parameters and the origin of the structural components and surface ligands on the functional activity of polymeric multilayer capsules at the molecular, cellular, and whole-body levels are summarized. The basic structural and functional principles determining the future trends of theranostic capsule development are established and discussed.

Abstract
Smart insulin delivery systems now play essential roles in diabetes treatment, whereas most existing systems suffer from insufficient regulation against blood glucose. Here, a glucose and pH dual-responsive insulin delivery system with multilevel self-regulation of blood glucose was constructed. Photocross-linked dual-responsive polymersomes were prepared by the self-assembly of the diblock copolymer methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly[3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid-co-2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-co-2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy)benzophenone] (mPEG-b-P(AAPBA-co-DEAEMA-co-BMA)) synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT), where insulin and glucose oxidase (GOx) were co-encapsulated inside. It is worth noting that the polymersomes with tunable membrane permeability are the first glucose-responsive platform consisting of both PBA and GOx. According to the pH change produced by gluconic acid, the pH-sensitive monomer DEAEMA endowed the polymersome membrane with multilevelly tunable and self-regulative permeability, further controlling the release behavior of insulin. This multilevel tunability was reflected directly in in vitro insulin release tests and was proven by the self-regulation of blood glucose in vivo. Promisingly, the polymersomes have great potential to be applied for the self-regulation of blood glucose in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Herein, we describe capsule polymer particles with precisely controlled pH-responsive release properties prepared directly via the interfacial photo-cross-linking of spherical poly(2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate-co-2-cinnamoylethyl methacrylate) (P(DEAEMA-CEMA)) particles. In the interfacial photo-cross-linking, photoreactive cinnamoyl groups in the polymer particles were cross-linked via [2π + 2π] cycloaddition reactions at the polymer/water interface, showing that the shell-cross-linked hollow polymer particles can be directly prepared from spherical polymer particles. The approach has fascinating advantages such as using minimal components, simplicity, and not requiring sacrificial template particles and toxic solvents. The following important observations are made: (I) encapsulated materials were stably retained in the capsule particles under neutral pH conditions; (II) encapsulated materials were released from the capsule particles under acidic pH conditions; (III) the release kinetics of encapsulated materials were controlled by the pH conditions; i.e., immediate and sustained release was achieved by varying the acidity of the aqueous media; (IV) the photoirradiation time did not significantly affect the release kinetics under different pH conditions; and (V) the pH-responsive release properties were regulated by changing the polymer composition in P(DEAEMA-CEMA). Furthermore, by exploiting the pH-responsiveness, capsule particles are successfully obtained via an all-aqueous process from spherical polymer particles. The advantages of the all-aqueous encapsulation process allowed the water-soluble biomacromolecules such as DNA and saccharides to be successfully encapsulated in the P(DEAEMA-CEMA) hollow particles. With this simple interfacial photo-cross-linking strategy, we envision the ready synthesis of sophisticated particulate materials for broad application in advanced research fields.

Abstract
Multi stimuli-responsive polymersomes are in high demand as smart drug carriers, particularly for the treatment of complex cancers. However, most polymersomes have multi-responsiveness that does not affect each other and focus on single drug loading. Here, we have designed photo-crosslinked temperature and pH dual-responsive polymersomes by the self-assembly of a triblock polymer of methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-poly[2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-co-2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy)benzophenone] (mPEG-b-PNIPAM-b-P(DEAEMA-co-BMA)) synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). The dual-responsive polymersomes had a layered membrane, resulting in tunable permeability. Importantly, the polymersomes were proved to have a pH-controlled temperature-responsiveness. A hydrophilic-hydrophobic drug pair (doxorubicin hydrochloride, DOX, and paclitaxel, PTX) could be co-encapsulated in the fabricated polymersomes. The membrane permeability based on its layered structure was triggered by the change in temperature and pH to permit the separate control on the release of DOX and PTX. In a simulated tumor microenvironment, DOX and PTX encapsulated in the polymersomes could take effect for a relatively longer period and could work synergistically. Thus, the photo-crosslinked and dual-responsive polymersomes can be considered as promising drug carriers in the field of tumor combination chemotherapy.

Abstract
Microcapsules formed using a "layer-by-layer" alternating deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes on sacrificial templates have reached high interest because of their facile fabrication procedure using a broad range of materials and tailored properties. However, their practical applications as microcarriers are limited as the capsules commonly suffer from low mechanical stability that can be enhanced by chemical or physical crosslinking but at the expense of decreasing permeability of the capsules' walls. It is demonstrated here that the incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in a relatively small amount (3.5%) arranged in the direction perpendicular to the capsules' walls led to an almost 20-fold increase of the apparent elastic modulus of the microcapsules as shown using the osmotic pressure method. Importantly, the introduced carbon nanotubes due to their absorption in the near-infrared region and specific arrangement enabled also a light-triggered increase of permeability of the capsules in a reversible, nondestructive manner as shown using fluorescently labeled dextrans of various molar masses. Such results imply durability and facile loading/unloading of the microcapsules that are both crucial for their practical applications as microcontainers and microreactors.

Abstract
AbstractSelf-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers into polymersomes continues to be a hot topic in modern research on biomimetics. Their well-known and valued mechanical strength can be increased even further if they are cross-linked. These additional bonds prevent a collapse or disassembly of the polymersomes and open the way towards smart nanoreactors. A variety of chemistries have been applied to obtain the desired cross-linked polymersomes, and therefore, the chemical approaches performed over time will be highlighted in this mini-review. Due to the large number of studies, a selected set of photo-cross-linked and pH-sensitive polymersomes will be specifically highlighted. This system has proven to be a very potent candidate for the formation of nanoreactors and drug delivery systems, and even for the formation of functional multicompartment cell mimics.

Abstract
Efforts to develop microcapsules that respond to different stimuli derive from the incorporation of multiple dynamic assemblies of diverse functional species to the capsule shells. However, this usually involves complicated preparation processes that ultimately hinder the integration of multiple functionalities in a single material. This is addressed in the present work by proposing a multilevel interfacial assembly approach involving polymeric complexes that facilitate the fabrication of multistimuli-responsive microcapsules based on one-step Pickering emulsification using oppositely charged polycation-graphene oxide (GO) and polyanion-surfactant complexes prepared in immiscible liquid solutions. The complexes initially stabilize the emulsion based on electrostatic interactions. Subsequently, the highly dynamic bonding between the polymeric complexes facilitates the rearrangement of components at the oil/water interface to form a continuous interfacial shell membrane. The integrity of the microcapsule shells is sensitive to near-infrared irradiation owing to the GO component and is also sensitive to NaCl content because the assemblies between nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes are bonded through electrostatic interactions. The generality of the proposed strategy is demonstrated by the interfacial assembly of polycation-Fe3O4 complexes and polyanion-surfactant complexes. The resulting microcapsules exhibit salt responsiveness, pH responsiveness, and the ability to be positioned controllably by the application of an external magnetic field. This work provides a promising approach for the preparation of multistimuli-responsive microcapsules.

Abstract
Controlled release of hydrophobic agents from salt-responsive capsules is hindered by the hydrophilic shell and interfacial tension between inner oil and surrounding water. Rupturing shells in salt solution is another effective way. However, the densely entangled polyelectrolytes (PEs) in shells determined that the rupture requires extremely high ion-strength. Herein, salt-responsive capsules with double-network shells including a continuous PE-nanocrystal network and interfacial ion pairs are proposed and revealed via a one-step interfacial multilevel and multicomponent assembly (IMMA) method. Rigid nanocrystals can weaken the entanglements of PE chains and reduce the critical salt-concentration. Interfacial ion pairs are responsible for maintaining the stability of the shells. Such double networks enable the disintegration of capsules in an applicable salt-concentration without damaging the stability of capsules. In addition, hydrophobic domains assemblied by surfactants and PE-nanocrystal network supply transport pathway for oil to across hydrophilic shells and subsequently produce inverse micelle to carry oil into water. The mechanism of formation and release of capsules is systematically investigated, which further demonstrates IMMA to be a typical method for creation of sophisticated structures in a brief way.

Abstract
A new approach to encapsulating charged cargo molecules into a nanovector and subsequently using near-infrared (NIR) light to trigger the release is demonstrated. NIR light-responsive nanovector was prepared through electrostatic interaction-driven complexation between negatively charged silica-coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP@silica, 87 nm hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity index ∼0.05) and a positively charged UV-labile polyelectrolyte bearing pendants of poly(ethylene glycol) and o-nitrobenzyl side groups; whereas charged fluorescein (FLU) was loaded through a co-complexation process. By controlling the amount of polyelectrolyte, UCNP@silica can be covered by the polymer, whereas remaining dispersed in aqueous solution. Under 980 nm laser excitation, UV light emitted by UCNP is absorbed by photolytic side groups within polyelectrolyte, which results in cleavage of o-nitrobenzyl groups and formation of carboxylic acid groups. Such NIR light-induced partial reversal of positive charge to negative charge on the polyelectrolyte layer disrupts the equilibrium among UCNP@silica, polyelectrolyte, and FLU and, consequently, leads to release of FLU molecules.

Abstract
Reconstitution of biologically active polymersomes from the frozen or solid state into any fluid state is still a challenging issue for the design of new biological experiments and for the formulation of therapeutic agents. To gain knowledge about the reconstitution of pH-responsive and photo-crosslinked polymersomes, surface-functionalized and enzyme-containing polymersomers were cryogenically frozen (−20 °C) or freeze-dried with inulin as the lyoprotectant (0.1% w/v) and stored for a defined time period. Reconstituting those polymersomes in solution by thawing or a re-dispersing process revealed their original physical properties as well as their function as a pH-switchable enzymatic nanoreactor. Polymersomes can retain their physico-chemical properties and membrane permeability for enzymatic reactions after lyophilization or cryogenic freezing and storage.![]()
