[PMID: 38878663 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.114029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/29/2024]
Abstract
Pickering emulsions provide a promising platform for the efficient delivery of bioactive. However, co-delivery of fragile bioactives with different physicochemical properties for comprehensive effects still faces practical challenges due to the limited protection for bioactives and the lack of stimuli-responsive property for on-demand release. Herein, a stimuli-responsive co-delivery system is developed based on biomineralized particles stabilized Pickering emulsions. In this tailor co-delivery system, hydrophilic bioactive (pepsin) with the fragile structure is encapsulated and immobilized by biomineralization, the obtained biomineralized particles (PPS@CaCO3) are further utilized as emulsifiers to form O/W Pickering emulsions, in which the hydrophobic oxidizable bioactive (curcumin) is stably trapped into the dispersed phase. The results show that two bioactives are successfully co-encapsulated in Pickering emulsions, and benefiting from the protection capacities of biomineralization and Pickering emulsions, the activity of pepsin and curcumin shows a 7.33-fold and 144.83-fold enhancement compared to the free state, respectively. Moreover, In vitro study demonstrates that Pickering emulsions enable to co-release of two bioactives with high activity retention by the acid-induced hydrolyzation of biomineralized particles. This work provides a powerful stimuli-responsive platform for the co-delivery of multiple bioactive compounds, enabling high activity of bioactives for the comprehensive health effects.

Abstract
Autologous cancer vaccines represent a promising therapeutic approach against tumor relapse. Herein, a concise biomineralization strategy was developed to prepare an immunostimulatory autologous cancer vaccine through protein antigen-mediated growth of flower-like manganese phosphate (MnP) nanoparticles. In addition to inheriting the cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-activating capacity of Mn2+, the resulting ovalbumin (OVA)-loaded MnP (OVA@MnP) nanoparticles with superior stability and pH-responsiveness enabled efficient priming of antigen-specific CD8+ T cell expansion through promoting the endo/lysosome escape and subsequent antigen cross-presentation of OVA. Resultantly, OVA@MnP vaccines upon subcutaneous vaccination elicited both prophylactic and therapeutic effects against OVA-expressing B16-F10 melanoma. Furthermore, the biomineralized autologous cancer vaccines prepared from the whole tumor cell lysates of the dissected tumors suppressed the growth of residual tumors, particularly in combination with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. This study highlights a simple biomineralization approach for the controllable synthesis of cGAS-STING-activating autologous cancer vaccines to suppress postsurgical tumor relapse.

Abstract
Achieving antitumor immunotherapy based on hybridization of multiple types of inactivated cells has attracted a lot of attention. However, the hybridized cells of disordered structure could result in the shedding of antigens and their transfer to immune cells, which suppresses tumor immunity through trogocytosis. Here, we report a strategy for in situ solidification of tumor whole cell by biomineralization for sustained stimulation of antitumor immunity. The near-infrared light was used to accelerate the breaking of Au=P bonds in auranofin, and the exposed Au atoms biomineralize at the secondary structure (β-corner) of the protein to form Au nanocrystals with in situ protein coronas in tumor cells. Au nanocrystals are anchored to the tumor cells through protein coronas, which fixes the morphology and antigens of whole tumor cells, rendering them physiologically inactive. Interestingly, this solidified tumor cell prevents immune cells from undergoing trogocytosis, which inhibits proximal and distal tumor growth. Thus, this study presents the strategy of solidified cells and its potential application in tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Living organisms in nature, such as magnetotactic bacteria and eggs, generate various organic-inorganic hybrid materials, providing unique functionalities. Inspired by such natural hybrid materials, researchers can reasonably integrate biomaterials with living organisms either internally or externally to enhance their inherent capabilities and generate new functionalities. Currently, the approaches to enhancing organismal function through biomaterial intervention have undergone rapid development, progressing from the cellular level to the subcellular or multicellular level. In this review, we will concentrate on three key strategies related to biomaterial-guided bioenhancement, including biointerface engineering, artificial organelles, and 3D multicellular immune niches. For biointerface engineering, excess of amino acid residues on the surfaces of cells or viruses enables the assembly of materials to form versatile artificial shells, facilitating vaccine engineering and biological camouflage. Artificial organelles refer to artificial subcellular reactors made of biomaterials that persist in the cytoplasm, which imparts cells with on-demand regulatory ability. Moreover, macroscale biomaterials with spatiotemporal regulation characters enable the local recruitment and aggregation of cells, denoting multicellular niche to enhance crosstalk between cells and antigens. Collectively, harnessing the programmable chemical and biological attributes of biomaterials for organismal function enhancement shows significant potential in forthcoming biomedical applications.

Abstract
Over the years, bioinspired mineralization-based approaches have been applied to synthesize multifunctional organic-inorganic nanocomposites. These nanocomposites can address the growing demands of modern biomedical applications. Proteins, serving as vital biological templates, play a pivotal role in the nucleation and growth processes of various organic-inorganic nanocomposites. Protein-mineralized nanomaterials (PMNMs) have attracted significant interest from researchers due to their facile and convenient preparation, strong physiological activity, stability, impressive biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Nevertheless, few comprehensive reviews have expounded on the progress of these nanomaterials in biomedicine. This article systematically reviews the principles and strategies for constructing nanomaterials using protein-directed biomineralization and biomimetic mineralization techniques. Subsequently, we focus on their recent applications in the biomedical field, encompassing areas such as bioimaging, as well as anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory therapies. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges encountered in practical applications of these materials and explore their potential in future applications. This review aspired to catalyze the continued development of these bioinspired nanomaterials in drug development and clinical diagnosis, ultimately contributing to the fields of precision medicine and translational medicine.

Abstract
In recent years, glucose oxidase (GOx) has aroused great research interest in the treatment of diseases related to abnormal glucose metabolisms like cancer and diabetes. However, as a kind of endogenous oxido-reductase, GOx suffers from poor stability and system toxicity in vivo. In order to overcome this bottleneck, GOx is encapsulated in calcium-based biomaterials (CaXs) such as calcium phosphate (CaP) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) by using it as a biotemplate to simulate the natural biomineralization process. The biomineralized GOx holds improved stability and reduced side effects, due to the excellent bioactivity, biocompatibitliy, and biodegradability of CaXs. In this review, the state-of-the-art studies on GOx-mineralized CaXs are introduced with an emphasis on their application in various biomedical fields including disease diagnosis, cancer treatment, and diabetes management. The current challenges and future perspectives of GOx-mineralized CaXs are discussed, which is expected to promote further studies on these smart GOx-mineralized CaXs biomaterials for practical applications.

Abstract
Biomineralization is an attractive pathway to produce mineral-based biomaterials with high performance and hierarchical structures. To date, the biomineralization process and mechanism have been extensively studied, especially for the formation of bone, teeth, and nacre. Inspired by those, abundant biomimetic mineralized materials have been fabricated for biomedical applications. Those bioinspired materials generally exhibit great mechanical properties and biological functions. Nevertheless, substantial gaps remain between biomimetic materials and natural materials, particularly with respect to mechanical properties and mutiscale structures. This Review summarizes the recent progress of micro- and macroscopic biomimetic mineralization from the perspective of materials synthesis and biomedical applications. To begin with, we discuss the progress of biomimetic mineralization at the microscopic level. The mechanical strength, stability, and functionality of the nano- and micromaterials are significantly improved by introducing biominerals, such as DNA nanostructures, nanovaccines, and living cells. Next, numerous biomimetic strategies based on biomineralization at the macroscopic scale are highlighted, including in situ mineralization and bottom-up assembly of mineralized building blocks. Finally, challenges and future perspectives regarding the development of biomimetic mineralization are also presented with the aim of offering insights for the rational design and fabrication of next-generation biomimetic mineralized materials.

Abstract
The CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing have provided a promising strategy to correct multiple mutations of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). However, the delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 system into mammalian cell for DMD gene editing mainly relies on adeno associated virus (AAV)-mediated transport. Meanwhile, the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) requirement of wild-typed Cas9 protein causing the target sites for exon splice acceptor site are restricted to limited regions. Here, we developed a biomineralized PAMLess Cas9 (SpRY) variant nanoparticles (Bm-SpRY NPs) for DMD gene editing in vitro and in vivo. This method described a facile synthesis of biomineralized NPs with high SpRY pDNA encapsulation efficiency. In vitro results show that the Bm-SpRY NPs have the obvious advantages of well biocompatibility and protecting SpRY pDNA from enzyme degradation and efficient delivery under high serum condition. Cell studies demonstrated that Bm-SpRY NPs enable rapid cellular uptake, endo-lysosomes escape and nucleus transport. Meanwhiles, the DMD gene editing via Bm-SpRY NPs pathway is transient process without genomic integration. We evaluated multiple target regions with different PAMs for the DMD exon 51 splice acceptor site through Bm-SpRY NPs method and found that the target region with TAG PAM has the highest editing efficiency and significant preferential mutation. In vivo results show that intramuscular injection of Bm-SpRY NPs enable DMD gene mutation in muscle tissue without tissue damage. This study may extend the advanced application of CRISPR system for DMD therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The gene editing technology of CRISPR/Cas9 provides an effective treatment strategy for the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) therapy. However, the delivery of CRISPR system in mammalian cell mainly relies on viral mediated transport and the NGG or NAG requirement of wild-typed Cas9 protein limits the target region in DMD gene. Here, the present study provides a biomineralized PAM Less Cas9 (SpRY) variant nanoparticles (Bm-SpRY NPs) for DMD gene editing in vitro and in vivo. This study may extend the application of CRISPR system for DMD gene therapy.

Abstract
Despite the great potency of vaccines to combat infectious diseases, their global use is hindered by a lack of thermostability, which leads to a constant need for cold-chain storage. Here, aiming at long-term thermostability and eliminating cold-chain requirements of bioactive vaccines, we propose that efforts should focus on tailoring the conformational stability of vaccines. Accordingly, we design a nanocoating composed of histidine (His)-coordinated amorphous Zn and 2-methylimidazolate complex (His-aZn-mIM) on single nanoparticles of viral vaccines to introduce intramolecular coordinated linkage between viruses and the nanocoatings. The coordinated nanocoating enhances the rigidity of proteins and preserves the vaccine's activity. Importantly, integrating His into the original Zn-N coordinative environment symbiotically reinforces its tolerance to biological and hydrothermal solutions, resulting in the augmented thermostability following the Hofmeister effect. Thus, even after storage of His-aZn-mIM encapsulated Human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5@His-aZn-mIM) at 25 °C for 90 d, the potency loss of the coated Ad5 is less than 10%, while the native Ad5 becomes 100% ineffective within one month. Such a nanocoating gains thermostability by forming an ultrastable hydration shell, which prevents viral proteins from unfolding under the attack of hydration ions, providing a conformational stabilizer upon heat exposure. Our findings represent an easy-access biomimetic platform to address the long-term vaccine storage without the requirement of a cold chain.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs), the only cells capable of remodeling bone, can demineralize calcium minerals biologically. Naive OCs have limitations for the removal of ectopic calcification, such as in heterotopic ossification (HO), due to their restricted activity, migration and poor adhesion to sites of ectopic calcification. HO is the formation of pathological mature bone within extraskeletal soft tissues, and there are currently no reliable methods for removing these unexpected calcified plaques. In the present study, we develop a chemical approach to modify OCs with tetracycline (TC) to produce engineered OCs (TC-OCs) with an enhanced capacity for targeting and adhering to ectopic calcified tissue due to a broad affinity for calcium minerals. Unlike naive OCs, TC-OCs are able to effectively remove HO both in vitro and in vivo. This achievement indicates that HO can be reversed using modified OCs and holds promise for engineering cells as "living treatment agents" for cell therapy.

Four Simple Biomimetic Mineralization Methods to Improve the Thermostability and Immunogenicity of Virus-like Particles as a Vaccine against Foot-and-Mouth Disease. Vaccines (Basel) 2021; 9:vaccines9080891. [PMID: 34452016 PMCID: PMC8402440 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines9080891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The need for a cold chain system during storage and transport substantially increases the cost of vaccines. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are among the best countermeasures against foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV). However, VLPs are composed of pure proteins, and thus, are susceptible to heat. To address this problem, four simple biomimetic mineralization methods with the use of calcium phosphate were developed to improve heat tolerance via biomineralization. The results showed that biomineralization can significantly improve the heat resistance of VLPs. The biomineralized VLPs can be stored at low as 25 °C for eight days, and 37 °C for four days. Animal experiments showed that biomineralization had no effect on the immunogenicity of VLPs or the expression of specific antibodies (Abs) and neutralizing Abs. Even after heat treatment at 37 °C for four days, the biomineralized VLPs remained immunogenic and produced highly specific and neutralizing Abs with a high rate of protection. These results suggest that these biomineralization approaches can promote the thermal stability of VLPs against and significantly reduce dependence on cold storage and delivery systems.

General method to stabilize mesophilic proteins in hyperthermal water. iScience 2021; 24:102503. [PMID: 34113834 PMCID: PMC8169989 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2021.102503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 04/14/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The stability of protein structures and biological functions at normal temperature is closely linked with the universal aqueous environment of organisms. Preserving bioactivities of proteins in hyperthermia water would expand their functional capabilities beyond those in native environments. However, only a limited number of proteins derived from hyperthermophiles are thermostable at elevated temperatures. Triggered by this, here we describe a general method to stabilize mesophilic proteins in hyperthermia water. The mesophilic proteins, protected by amphiphilic polymers with multiple binding sites, maintain their secondary and tertiary structures after incubation even in boiling water. This approach, outside the conventional environment for bioactivities of mesophilic proteins, provides a general strategy to dramatically increase the Tm (melting temperature) of mesophilic proteins without any changes to amino sequences of the native proteins. Current work offers a new insight with protein stability engineering for potential application, including vaccine storage and enzyme engineering. Preserving bioactivities of proteins in hyperthermia water is promising. Amphiphilic polymers could protect mesophilic proteins even in boiling water. Mesophilic proteins protected by amphiphilic polymers show dramatically increased Tm. The method offers application prospect for vaccine storage and enzyme engineering.

Abstract
We report the one-step assembly of vaccine particles by encapsulating ovalbumin (OVA) and cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG) into poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-mediated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (OVA-CpG@ZIF-8 NPs), where PEG improves the stability and dispersity of ZIF-8 NPs and the NPs protect the encapsulated OVA and CpG to circumvent the cold chain issue. Compared with free OVA and OVA-encapsulated ZIF-8 (OVA@ZIF-8) NPs, OVA-CpG@ZIF-8 NPs can enhance antigen uptake, cross-presentation, dendritic cell (DC) maturation, production of specific antibody and cytokines, and CD4+ T and CD8+ T cell activation. More importantly, the vaccine particles retain their bioactivity against enzymatic degradation, elevated temperatures, and long-term storage at ambient temperature. The study highlights the importance of PEG-mediated ZIF-8 NPs as a vaccine delivery system for the promising application of effective and cold chain-independent vaccination against diseases.

Abstract
Instinctive hierarchically biomineralized structures of various organisms, such as eggs, algae, and magnetotactic bacteria, afford extra protection and distinct performance, which endow fragile organisms with a tenacious ability to adapt and survive. However, spontaneous formation of hybrid materials is difficult for most organisms in nature. Rapid development of chemistry and materials science successfully obtained the combinations of organisms with nanomaterials by biomimetic mineralization thus demonstrating the reproduction of the structures and functions and generation of novel functions that organisms do not possess. The rational design of biomaterial-organism hybridization can control biological recognition, interactions, and metabolism of the organisms. Thus, nanomaterial-organism hybrids represent a next generation of organism engineering with great potential biomedical applications. This review summarizes recent advances in material-directed organism engineering and is mainly focused on biomimetic mineralization technologies and their outstanding biomedical applications. Three representative types of biomimetic mineralization are systematically introduced, including external mineralization, internal mineralization, and genetic engineering mineralization. The methods involving hybridization of nanomaterials and organisms based on biomimetic mineralization strategies are described. These strategies resulted in applications of various nanomaterial-organism hybrids with multiplex functions in cell engineering, cancer treatment, and vaccine improvement. Unlike classical biological approaches, this material-based bioregulation is universal, effective, and inexpensive. In particular, instead of traditional medical solutions, the integration of nanomaterials and organisms may exploit novel strategies to solve current biomedical problems.

Abstract
The advanced biomimetic mineralization technology was applied to protect the Botulinum neurotoxin type D, and the processing of the mineralization granule of botulinum toxin type D was successfully screened. The loss of activity of the toxin protein at different temperatures and the destructive strength of the gastrointestinal tract against the toxin were determined biologically. The lethal toxicity of the mineralized toxin to wild rodents was determined by median lethal dose. Protective tests at different temperatures showed that the preservation period of botulinum toxin type D mineralized sample 2 was significantly higher than that of the control group at three different temperatures, and its toxicity loss was significantly reduced. The damage intensity of the mineralized toxin to the gastrointestinal contents of plateau zokor and plateau pika was significantly reduced. The minimum lethal doses of the mineralized toxin particles to plateau zokor, plateau pika, and mice were 5200, 8,600,000, and 25,000 MLD/kg. These results showed that biomimetic mineralization could greatly improve the thermal stability of botulinum toxin type D and reduce the damaging effect of the gastrointestinal contents of target animals to botulinum toxin type D. The mineralized toxin could be used to control the population density of urban rodents. This research provides new insights into the protection of toxin protein substances.

Abstract
Rationale: Hypoxia is one of the crucial restrictions in cancer radiotherapy (RT), which leads to the hypoxia-associated radioresistance of tumor cells and may result in the sharp decline in therapeutic efficacy. Methods: Herein, living photosynthetic microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris, C. vulgaris), were used as oxygenators, for in situ oxygen generation to relieve tumor hypoxia. We engineered the surface of C. vulgaris (CV) cells with calcium phosphate (CaP) shell by biomineralization, to form a biomimetic system (CV@CaP) for efficient tumor delivery and in-situ active photosynthetic oxygenation reaction in tumor. Results: After intravenous injection into tumor-bearing mice, CV@CaP could remarkably alleviate tumor hypoxia by continuous oxygen generation, thereby achieving enhanced radiotherapeutic effect. Furthermore, a cascade phototherapy could be fulfilled by the chlorophyll released from photosynthetic microalgae combined thermal effects under 650 nm laser irradiation. The feasibility of CV@CaP-mediated combinational treatment was finally validated in an orthotropic breast cancer mouse model, revealing its prominent anti-tumor and anti-metastasis efficacy in hypoxic-tumor management. More importantly, the engineered photosynthetic microalgae exhibited excellent fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging properties, allowing the self-monitoring of tumor therapy and tumor microenvironment. Conclusions: Our studies of this photosynthetic microsystem open up a new dimension for solving the radioresistance issue of hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Biomineralization, a bio-organism controlled mineral formation process, plays an important role in linking biological organisms and mineral materials in nature. Inspired by biomineralization, biomimetic mineralization is used as a bridge tool to integrate biological organisms and functional materials together, which can be beneficial for the development of diversified functional organism-material hybrids. In this review, recent progresses on the techniques of biomimetic mineralization for organism-material combinations are summarized and discussed. Based upon these techniques, the preparations and applications of virus-, prokaryotes-, and eukaryotes-material hybrids have been presented and they demonstrate the great potentials in the fields of vaccine improvement, cell protection, energy production, environmental and biomedical treatments, etc. We suggest that more researches about functional organism and material combination with more biocompatible techniques should be developed to improve the design and applications of specific organism-material hybrids. These rationally designed organism-material hybrids will shed light on the production of "live materials" with more advanced functions in future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review summaries the recent attempts on improving biological organisms by their integrations with functional materials, which can be achieved by biomimetic mineralization as the combination tool. The integrated materials, as the artificial shells or organelles, confer diversified functions on the enclosed organisms. The successful constructions of various virus-, prokaryotes-, and eukaryotes-material hybrids have demonstrated the great potentials of the material incorporation strategy in vaccine development, cancer treatment, biological photosynthesis and environment protection etc. The suggested challenges and perspectives indicate more inspirations for the future development of organism-material hybrids.

Abstract
With the development in tissue engineering, cell transplantation, and genetic technologies, living cells have become an important therapeutic tool in clinical medical care. For various cell-based technologies including cell therapy and cell-based sensors in addition to fundamental studies on single-cell biology, the cytoprotection of individual living cells is a prerequisite to extend cell storage life or deliver cells from one place to another, resisting various external stresses. Nature has evolved a biological defense mechanism to preserve their species under unfavorable conditions by forming a hard and protective armor. Particularly, plant seeds covered with seed coat turn into a dormant state against stressful environments, due to mechanical and water/gas constraints imposed by hard seed coat. However, when the environmental conditions become hospitable to seeds, seed coat is ruptured, initiating seed germination. This seed dormancy and germination mechanism has inspired various approaches that artificially induce cell sporulation via chemically encapsulating individual living cells within a thin but tough shell forming a 3D "cell-in-shell" structure. Herein, the recent advance of cell encapsulation strategies along with the potential advantages of the 3D "cell-in-shell" system is reviewed. Diverse coating materials including polymeric shells and hybrid shells on different types of cells ranging from microbes to mammalian cells will be discussed in terms of enhanced cytoprotective ability, control of division, chemical functionalization, and on-demand shell degradation. Finally, current and potential applications of "cell-in-shell" systems for cell-based technologies with remaining challenges will be explored.

Abstract
Oncolytic adenoviruses (OAs) have shown great potential for cancer viral gene therapy in clinical studies. To date, clinical trials have shown that the curative efficacy of OAs is still limited by hepatic sequestration and preexisting neutralizing antibodies (nAbs), which decrease the accumulation of the OAs in tumors. Herein, with the biosilicification method, we encapsulated an OA encoding the anticancer gene Trail (OA-Trail) with silica, which significantly improved virus distribution and tumor inhibition. In vitro and in vivo results indicated that compared with the native OA, biosilicified OA-Trail (OA-Trail@SiO2) showed significantly reduced viral clearance in the liver and evaded nAb degradation, inducing an efficacious anticancer effect under the premise of biocompatibility. These achievements present an alternative strategy involving biosilicification for enhanced OA-based cancer gene therapy.

Abstract
Protein therapeutics have inspired intensive research interest in a variety of realms. It is still urgently required to avoid premature or unexpected activation of therapeutic proteins to achieve great specificity for therapy. Herein, we reported a modular AND gate-controlled delivery platform for tumor microenvironment specific activation of therapeutic protein activity based on biomineralization of molecular glue-adhered protein enzyme. The AND gate integrates the specific microenvironment of tumor tissues (acidic pH and a certain concentration of ATP) as inputs and activates the therapeutic activity of protein only when both inputs are active. More importantly, the activity of therapeutic protein would not be activated either at acidic pH or in the presence of ATP, which could greatly avoid the deleterious effect on normal tissues. Besides, this AND gate can be modular design and suitable for a variety of therapeutic proteins and nucleic acids.

Abstract
Delivery of the CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex has provided an alternative strategy for the regulation of CRISPR functions, offering a transient and DNA-free means for genomic editing. Chemical methods of delivering the RNPs via nanocomplexes have the potential to address these delivery problems for efficiency, safety, and packaging capacity. Here, we developed a biomimetic mineralization-mediated strategy for efficient DNA-free genome editing by using CRISPR/Cas9 RNPs. We found that the RNPs have the ability to form the biomimetic mineralized RNP nanoparticles (Bm-RNP NPs) quickly in situ and can be effectively delivered into the fungal protoplast cells. Biomimetic mineralization can maintain the natural function of Cas9 protein and protect the sgRNA activity. At the same time, the encapsulated RNPs can be effectively released into the cytoplasm, and the Sytalone dehydratase (SDH) gene can be edited in a targeted manner. Except for phenotypic defects, molecular detections indicated that the delivery of Bm-RNP NPs achieved 20% genomic editing for Magnaporthe oryzae compared to RNPs alone. Moreover, the Bm-RNP NP-mediated editing of the SDH gene significantly affects the appressorium-mediated penetration and invasive growth in M. oryzae. Our system has the advantages of being cheap, fast, and effective, without the traditional transformation process, suggesting the potential application of this DNA-free gene-editing strategy in different organisms.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx) has been recognized as a "star" enzyme catalyst involved in cancer treatment in the past few years. Herein, GOx is mineralized with manganese-doped calcium phosphate (MnCaP) to form spherical nanoparticles (GOx-MnCaP NPs) by an in situ biomimetic mineralization method, followed by the loading of doxorubicin (DOX) to construct a biodegradable, biocompatible, and tumor acidity-responsive nanotheranostics for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cascade reaction-enhanced cooperative cancer treatment. The GOx-driven oxidation reaction can effectively eliminate intratumoral glucose for starvation therapy, and the elevated H2O2 is then converted into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals via a Mn2+-mediated Fenton-like reaction for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, the acidity amplification due to the gluconic acid generation will in turn accelerate the degradation of the nanoplatform and promote the Mn2+-H2O2 reaction for enhanced CDT. Meanwhile, the released Mn2+ ions can be used for MRI to monitor the treatment process. After carrying the anticancer drug, the DOX-loaded GOx-MnCaP can integrate starvation therapy, Mn2+-mediated CDT, and DOX-induced chemotherapy together, which showed greatly improved therapeutic efficacy than each monotherapy. Such an orchestrated cooperative cancer therapy demonstrated high-efficiency tumor suppression on 4T1 tumor-bearing mice with minimal side effects. Our findings suggested that the DOX-loaded GOx-MnCaP nanotheranostics with excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility hold clinical translation potential for cancer management.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in the regulation of cell physiological activity and the reconstruction of extracellular environment. Matrix vesicles (MVs) are a type of EVs released by bone-related functional cells, and they participate in the regulation of cell mineralization. Here, we report bioinspired MVs embedded with black phosphorus (BP) and functionalized with cell-specific aptamer (denoted as Apt-bioinspired MVs) for stimulating biomineralization. The aptamer can direct bioinspired MVs to targeted cells, and the increasing concentration of inorganic phosphate originating from BP can facilitate cell biomineralization. The photothermal effect of the Apt-bioinspired MVs can also promote the biomineralization process by stimulating the upregulated expression of heat shock proteins and alkaline phosphatase. In addition, the Apt-bioinspired MVs display outstanding bone regeneration performance. Our strategy provides a method for designing bionic tools to study the mechanisms of biological processes and advance the development of medical engineering.

Abstract
Active bioinspired materials are appealing biotechnological targets, and their study is gaining momentum. These materials, which comprise of an inorganic matrix and one or more biomolecules, are extremely variable and therefore may result difficult to characterize in their intimate structure. In this work we have prepared a hydroxyapatite-l-asparaginase composite, with the perspective of using it in acute leukemia treatment. We demonstrate that the use of electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction, combined with the atomic-resolution information coming from solid-state NMR, allows us to understand the topology of the material and how the different components interplay to obtain an active composite.

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen leading to substantial morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years of age. Vaccination is an effective strategy to prevent S. pneumoniae infection. SPY1 is a pneumococcal vaccine candidate strain obtained in our previous study. To improve its stability and immunogencity, in this study, we constructed the SPY1ΔlytA strain that lacks autolysin activity and was coated with an artificial exterior surface calcium phosphate shell by in situ mineralization. The resulting strain SPY1ΔlytACaPi displayed enhanced thermal stability enabling storage at 37°C for 1 week. Furthermore, mucosal and subcutaneous immunization with the SPY1ΔlytACaPi strain induced better protective effects than SPY1ΔlytA in anti-colonization after challenging with 19F and anti-invasion by D39 in mice. Subcutaneous immunization with SPY1ΔlytACaPi elicited higher IgG level while mucosal immunization primarily elicited an immune response which is supposed to be related to Th17 cells. Taken together, the mineralized strain may be a promising candidate for an attenuated S. pneumoniae vaccine.

Abstract
Biomineralization is an important tactic by which biological organisms produce hierarchically structured minerals with marvellous functions. Biomineralization studies typically focus on the mediation function of organic matrices on inorganic minerals, which helps scientists to design and synthesize bioinspired functional materials. However, the presence of inorganic minerals may also alter the native behaviours of organic matrices and even biological organisms. This progress report discusses the latest achievements relating to biomineralization mechanisms, the manufacturing of biomimetic materials and relevant applications in biological and biomedical fields. In particular, biomineralized vaccines and algae with improved thermostability and photosynthesis, respectively, demonstrate that biomineralization is a strategy for organism evolution via the rational design of organism-material complexes. The successful modification of biological systems using materials is based on the regulatory effect of inorganic materials on organic organisms, which is another aspect of biomineralization control. Unlike previous studies, this study integrates materials and biological science to achieve a more comprehensive view of the mechanisms and applications of biomineralization.

Abstract
Conventional therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are invalid for intracellular viruses but by using in situ biomineralization treatment, they can be successfully delivered into cells to inhibit intracellular viral replication. This achievement significantly expands the applications of mAbs and provides a new intracellular strategy to control viral infections.

Abstract
Heat-lability is a key roadblock that strangles the widespread applications of many biological products. In nature, archaeal and extremophilic organisms utilize amorphous silica as a protective biomineral and exhibit considerable thermal tolerance. Here we present a bioinspired approach to generate thermostable virus by introducing an artificial hydrated silica exterior on individual virion. Similar to thermophiles, silicified viruses can survive longer at high temperature than their wild-type relatives. Virus inactivation assays showed that silica hydration exterior of the modified virus effectively prolonged infectivity of viruses by ∼ 10-fold at room temperature, achieving a similar result as that obtained by storing native ones at 4 °C. Mechanistic studies indicate that amorphous silica nanoclusters stabilize the inner virion structure by forming a layer that restricts molecular mobility, acting as physiochemical nanoanchors. Notably, we further evaluate the potential application of this biomimetic strategy in stabilizing clinically approved vaccine, and the silicified polio vaccine that can retain 90% potency after the storage at room temperature for 35 days was generated by this biosilicification approach and validated with in vivo experiments. This approach not only biomimetically connects inorganic material and living virus but also provides an innovative resolution to improve the thermal stability of biological agents using nanomaterials.

Abstract
The cytoprotection of individual living cells under in vitro and daily-life conditions is a prerequisite for various cell-based applications including cell therapy, cell-based sensors, regenerative medicine, and even the food industry. In this work, we use a cytocompatible two-step process to encapsulate Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a highly uniform nanometric (<100 nm) shell composed of organic poly(norepinephrine) and inorganic silica layers. The resulting cell-in-shell structure acquires multiple resistance against lytic enzyme, desiccation, and UV-C irradiation. In addition to the UV-C filtering effect of the double-layered shell, the biochemical responses of the encapsulated yeast are suggested to contribute to the observed UV-C tolerance. This work offers a chemical tool for cytoprotecting individual living cells under multiple stresses and also for studying biochemical behavior at the cellular level.

Carbohydrate-based ice recrystallization inhibitors increase infectivity and thermostability of viral vectors. Sci Rep 2014; 4:5903.

Abstract
The inability of vaccines to retain sufficient thermostability has been an obstacle to global vaccination programs. To address this major limitation, we utilized carbohydrate-based ice recrystallization inhibitors (IRIs) to eliminate the cold chain and stabilize the potency of Vaccinia virus (VV), Vesicular Stomatitis virus (VSV) and Herpes virus-1 (HSV-1). The impact of these IRIs was tested on the potency of the viral vectors using a plaque forming unit assay following room temperature storage, cryopreservation with successive freeze-thaw cycles and lyophilization. Viral potency after storage with all three conditions demonstrated that N-octyl-gluconamide (NOGlc) recovered the infectivity of shelf stored VV, 5.6 Log10 PFU mL−1 during 40 days, and HSV-1, 2.7 Log10 PFU mL−1 during 9 days. Carbon-linked antifreeze glycoprotein analogue ornithine-glycine-glycine-galactose (OGG-Gal) increases the recovery of VV and VSV more than 1 Log10 PFU mL−1 after 10 freeze-thaw cycles. In VSV, cryostorage with OGG-Gal maintains high infectivity and reduces temperature-induced aggregation of viral particles by 2 times that of the control. In total, OGG-Gal and NOGlc preserve virus potency during cryostorage. Remarkably, NOGlc has potential to eliminate the cold chain and permit room temperature storage of viral vectors.

Abstract
The development of vaccines against infectious diseases represents one of the most important contributions to medical science. However, vaccine-preventable diseases still cause millions of deaths each year due to the thermal instability and poor efficacy of vaccines. Using the human enterovirus type 71 vaccine strain as a model, we suggest a combined, rational design approach to improve the thermostability and immunogenicity of live vaccines by self-biomineralization. The biomimetic nucleating peptides are rationally integrated onto the capsid of enterovirus type 71 by reverse genetics so that calcium phosphate mineralization can be biologically induced onto vaccine surfaces under physiological conditions, generating a mineral exterior. This engineered self-biomineralized virus was characterized in detail for its unique structural, virological, and chemical properties. Analogous to many exteriors, the mineral coating confers some new properties on enclosed vaccines. The self-biomineralized vaccine can be stored at 26 °C for more than 9 d and at 37 °C for approximately 1 wk. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that this engineered vaccine can be used efficiently after heat treatment or ambient temperature storage, which reduces the dependence on a cold chain. Such a combination of genetic technology and biomineralization provides an economic solution for current vaccination programs, especially in developing countries that lack expensive refrigeration infrastructures.
