Abstract
Nanoparticles offer numerous advantages in various fields of science, particularly in medicine. Over recent years, the use of nanoparticles in disease diagnosis and treatments has increased dramatically by the development of stimuli-responsive nano-systems, which can respond to internal or external stimuli. In the last 10 years, many preclinical studies were performed on physically triggered nano-systems to develop and optimize stable, precise, and selective therapeutic or diagnostic agents. In this regard, the systems must meet the requirements of efficacy, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and safety before clinical investigation. Several undesired aspects need to be addressed to successfully translate these physical stimuli-responsive nano-systems, as biomaterials, into clinical practice. These have to be commonly taken into account when developing physically triggered systems; thus, also applicable for nano-systems based on nanomaterials. This review focuses on physically triggered nano-systems (PTNSs), with diagnostic or therapeutic and theranostic applications. Several types of physically triggered nano-systems based on polymeric micelles and hydrogels, mesoporous silica, and magnets are reviewed and discussed in various aspects.

Abstract
This article reports the synthesis of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-N-methylolacrylamide) (P(NVCL-co-NMA)) nanogels and investigates their thermo-/pH-responsive behavior. The formation of nanogels was synthesized using free radical emulsion polymerization by varying the monomer composition of NVCL:NMA, and their molecular structure was characterized by 1H-NMR and FTIR. It was found that the nanogels were successfully prepared, and the nanogels exhibited LCST-type phase transition behavior. Cloud point transition temperature (Tc) was studied as a function of copolymer composition, MBA concentration, and pH of the solution by exploring their changes in turbidity using UV-vis spectrophotometer. Our studies reveal that Tc nanogels increased with increasing concentration of NMA, which is due to the hydrophilicity of NMA. Our research also demonstrated that the increase in MBA percentage could decrease the Tc of the synthesized nanogels. Interestingly, P(NVCL-co-NMA) nanogels showed not only a thermoresponsive behavior but also a pH response with increasing Tc in a strong acidic environment owing to the H-bonds within the polymer chains. The results show that nanogels with initial monomer composition of NVCL and NMA of 75% and 25%, respectively, and using 4% of MBA showed Tc around 35°C at pH 7.4. In addition, DLS studies also confirmed this result since the particle sizes became much larger after surpassing the temperature of 35°C. Due to this founding, such nanogels might have potential application in controlled release. Nevertheless, further studies regarding the adjustment of Tc are still needed.

Abstract
Polymer particles with precise diameters have been used as building blocks for fabricating well-defined and nanostructured materials. Polymer particles as building blocks for medical applications require both easily spatiotemporal manipulation and good biocompatibility. In this study, we designed zwitterionic polymer particles with photodimerizable groups on their surfaces and used ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation to photo-assemble them in aqueous media. After synthesizing zwitterionic polymer particles with diameters ranging from 100-200 nm via soap-free emulsion polymerization, maleimide moieties as photodimerizable groups were introduced onto the particle surfaces. UV light irradiation to an aqueous dispersion of zwitterionic polymer particles with photodimerizable groups induced their photo-assembling because interparticle bonding forms by photodimerization of the photodimerizable groups on the particle surfaces. The zwitterionic surface of their particle-assembled films effectively suppressed protein adsorption, cell adhesion, and platelet adhesion. The photoresponsive behaviour and bioinert surface of the zwitterionic polymer particles with photodimerizable groups indicate that they have several potential applications as bioinert building blocks for designing well-defined and nanostructured biomaterials used in biosensors, bioseparation and cell culture, and for modifying and repairing biomaterial surfaces in situ.

Abstract
This paper reports the facile preparation of dual stimuli-responsive gel particles that simultaneously respond to weakly acidic and reducing stimuli and the application of these gel particles as a drug delivery carrier. The dual stimuli-responsive gel particles composed of a pH-responsive polymer network cross-linked with reduction stimuli-responsive disulfide cross-links, and biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) cross-links were prepared by soap-free emulsion polymerization. The resulting gel particles were colloidally stable at physiological ionic strength and had a diameter of approximately 200 nm with a narrow size distribution. The resulting gel particles slightly swelled in an acidic environment. On the other hand, the gel particles drastically swelled under simultaneous weakly acidic and reducing conditions because of the ionization of tertiary amino groups in the gel network and a decrease in the cross-linking density resulting from cleavage of the disulfide cross-links. When cells were treated with the gel particles, they were taken up by cells via the endocytosis pathway and distributed in the cytosol after endosomal escape by the proton sponge effect. In addition, a hydrophobic drug, doxorubicin (Dox), was loaded into the gel particles through hydrophobic interactions. Dox was released from the gel particles under weakly acidic and reducing conditions, while the Dox release was inhibited at neutral pH. The weakly acidic pH- and reduction stimuli-responsive release of Dox from gel particles was attributed to the drastic swelling of these particles. The fascinating properties of the dual stimuli-responsive gel particles suggest that they can provide a useful platform for designing intracellular drug delivery carriers.

Nano-encapsulation of hydroxytyrosol into formulated nanogels improves therapeutic effects against hepatic steatosis: An in vitro study. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 124:112080.

Abstract
Nanomaterials hold promise as a straightforward approach for enhancing the performance of bioactive compounds in several healthcare scenarios. Indeed, nanoencapsulation represents a valuable strategy to preserve the bioactives, maximizing their bioavailability. Here, a nanoencapsulation strategy for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is presented. NAFLD represents the most common chronic liver disease in Western societies, and still lacks an effective therapy. Hydroxytyrosol (HT), a naturally occurring polyphenol, has been shown to protect against hepatic steatosis through its lipid-lowering, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the efficient delivery of HT to hepatocytes remains a crucial aspect: the design of smart nanogels appears as a promising tool to promote its intracellular uptake. In this paper, we disclose the synthesis of nanogel systems based on polyethylene glycol and polyethyleneimine which have been tested in an in vitro model of hepatic steatosis at two different concentrations (0.1 mg/mL and 0.5 mg/mL), taking advantage of high-content analysis tools. The proposed HT-loaded nanoscaffolds are non-toxic to cells, and their administration showed a significant decrease in the intracellular triglyceride levels, restoring cell viability and outperforming the results achievable with HT in its non-encapsulated form. Moreover, nanogels do not induce oxidative stress, thus demonstrating their biosafety. Overall, the formulated nanogel system achieves superior performance compared to conventional drug administration routes and hence represents a promising strategy for the management of NAFLD.

Abstract
To achieve the promise of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer, they should (1) avoid premature clearance; (2) accumulate in tumors and undergo endocytosis by cancer cells; and (3) exhibit appropriate stimuli-responsive release of the payload. It is challenging to address all of these requirements simultaneously. However, the numerous proof-of-concept studies addressing one or more of these requirements reported every year have dramatically expanded the toolbox available for the design of drug delivery systems. This review highlights recent advances in the targeting and stimuli-responsiveness of drug delivery systems. It begins with a discussion of nanocarrier types and an overview of the factors influencing nanocarrier biodistribution. On-demand release strategies and their application to each type of nanocarrier are reviewed, including both endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Recent developments in stimuli-responsive targeting strategies are also discussed. The remaining challenges and prospective solutions in the field are discussed throughout the review, which is intended to assist researchers in overcoming interdisciplinary knowledge barriers and increase the speed of development. This review presents a nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems toolbox that enables the application of techniques across platforms and inspires researchers with interdisciplinary information to boost the development of multifunctional therapeutic nanoplatforms for cancer therapy.

Abstract
An unreported d,l-tripeptide self-assembled into gels that embedded FeII4 L4 metal-organic cages to form materials that were characterized by TEM, EDX, Raman spectroscopy, rheometry, UV/Vis and NMR spectroscopy, and circular dichroism. The cage type and concentration modulated gel viscoelasticity, and thus the diffusion rate of molecular guests through the nanostructured matrix, as gauged by 19 F and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. When two different cages were added to spatially separated gel layers, the gel-cage composite material enabled the spatial segregation of a mixture of guests that diffused into the gel. Each cage selectively encapsulated its preferred guest during diffusion. We thus present a new strategy for using nested supramolecular interactions to enable the separation of small molecules.

Abstract
A random copolymer, poly(methyl methacrylate-co-2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (poly(MMA-co-DMAEMA)) is shown to form nanoscale aggregates (NAs) (∼20 nm) at copolymer concentrations ≥10% w/w, directly from the preformed surfactant-stabilized latex (∼120 nm) in aqueous solution. The copolymer is prepared by conventional emulsion polymerization. Introducing a small mole fraction of DMAEMA (∼10%) allows the copolymer hydrophilicity to be adjusted by the pH and external temperature, generating NAs with tuneable sizes and a defined weight-average aggregation number, as observed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). These NAs are different from the so-called mesoglobular systems and are insensitive to temperature at fixed pH. The relatively broad chemical composition distribution of the copolymer and lumpy (or blocky but not diblock) incorporation of DMAEMA mean that the NAs cannot be simply thought of as conventional polymer micelles. In the acidic pH regime, the amphiphilic copolymer exhibits a defined critical assembly concentration (CAC) and a minimum air-water surface tension of 45.2 mN m-1. This copolymer represents a convenient route to self-assembled NAs, which form directly in aqueous dispersions after pH and temperature triggers, rather than the typically applied (and time-consuming) water-induced micellization approach for common polymer micelles.

Abstract
Nanogels are crosslinked polymer particles with a swollen size between 1 and 100 nm. They are of major interest for advanced surface coatings, drug delivery, diagnostics and biomaterials. Synthesising polyacid nanogels that show triggered swelling using a scalable approach is a key objective of polymer colloid chemistry. Inspired by the ability of polar surfaces to enhance nanoparticle stabilisation, we report the first examples of pH-responsive polyacid nanogels containing high -COOH contents prepared by a simple, scalable, aqueous method. To demonstrate their functionalisation potential, glycidyl methacrylate was reacted with the -COOH chemical handles and the nanogels were converted to macro-crosslinkers. The concentrated (functionalised) nanogel dispersions retained their pH-responsiveness, were shear-thinning and formed physical gels at pH 7.4. The nanogels were covalently interlinked via free-radical coupling at 37 °C to form transparent, ductile, hydrogels. Mixing of the functionalised nanogels with polymer dots enabled covalent assembly of fluorescent hydrogels.

Abstract
A pH-controlled delivery system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) was constructed for dual-cargo selective release. To achieve a better controlled-release effect, a modified sol-gel method was employed to obtain MSNs with tunable particle and pore sizes. The systems selectively released different kinds of cargo when stimulated by different pH values. At the lower pH value (pH 2.0) only one kind of cargo was released from the MSNs, whereas at a higher pH value (pH 7.0) only the other kind of cargo was released from the MSNs. The multi-cargo delivery system has brought the concept of selective release to new advances in the field of functional nanodevices and allows more accurate and controllable delivery of specific cargoes, which is expected to have promising applications in nanomedicine.

Abstract
![]()
Understanding how newly engineered
micro- and nanoscale materials
and systems that interact with cells impact cell physiology is crucial
for the development and ultimate adoption of such technologies. Reports
regarding the genotoxic impact of forces applied to cells in such
systems that can both directly or indirectly damage DNA emphasize
the need for developing facile methods to assess how materials and
technologies affect cell physiology. To address this need we have
developed a TurboRFP-based DNA damage reporter cell line in NIH-3T3
cells that fluoresce to report genotoxic stress caused by a wide variety
of agents, from chemical genotoxic agents to UV-C radiation. Our biosensor
was successfully implemented in reporting the genotoxic impact of
nanomaterials, demonstrating the ability to assess size dependent
geno- and cyto-toxicity. The biosensor cells can be assayed in a high
throughput, noninvasive manner, with no need for overly sophisticated
equipment or additional reagents. We believe that this open-source
biosensor is an important resource for the community of micro- and
nanomaterials and systems designers and users who wish to evaluate
the impact of systems and materials on cell physiology.
