Abstract
Cytokines are powerful in cancer immunotherapy, however, their therapeutic potential is limited by the severe systemic toxicity. Here a potent strategy to reduce the toxicity of systemic cytokine therapy by delivering its denatured form using a finely designed nanochaperone, is described. It is demonstrated that even if the denatured protein cargos are occasionally released under normal physiological conditions they are still misfolded, while can effectively refold into native states and release to function in tumor microenvironment. Consequently, the systemic toxicity of cytokines is nearly completely overcome. Moreover, an immunogenic cell death (ICD)-inducing chemotherapeutic is further loaded and delivered to tumor using this nanochaperone to trigger the release of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that are subsequently captured in situ by nanochaperone and then reflows into lymph nodes (LNs) to promote antigen cross-presentation. This optimized personalized nanochaperone-vaccine demonstrates unprecedented suppressive effects against large, advanced tumors, and in combination with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy results in a significant abscopal effect and inhibition of postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis. Hence, this approach provides a simple and universal delivery strategy to reduce the systemic toxicities of cytokines, as well as provides a robust personalized cancer vaccination platform, which may find wide applications in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
The development of new approaches for the treatment of the increasingly antibiotic-resistant pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa was targeted by enhancing the effect of local antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(lactic acid) (PEG114-block-PLAx) nanocarriers that were loaded with a ruthenium-based photosensitizer (PS). The action of tris(1,10-phenanthroline) ruthenium (II) bis(hexafluorophosphate) (RuPhen3) encapsulated in PEG114-block-PLAx micelles and vesicles was shown to result in an appreciable aPDT inactivation efficiency against planktonic Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In particular, the encapsulation of the PS, its release, and the efficiency of singlet oxygen (1O2) generation upon irradiation with blue light were studied spectroscopically. The antimicrobial effect was analyzed with two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Compared with PS-loaded micelles, formulations of the PS-loaded vesicles showed 10 times enhanced activity with a strong photodynamic inactivation effect of at least a 4.7 log reduction against both a Pseudomonas aeruginosa lab strain and a clinical isolate collected from the lung of a cystic fibrosis (CF) patient. This work lays the foundation for the targeted eradication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using aPDT in various medical application areas.

Abstract
Therapeutic efficacy of conventional single PEGylated polymeric micelles is significantly reduced by limited endocytosis and intracellular drug release. To improve drug delivery efficiency, poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (l-lactic acid)/(Arg-Gly-Asp-Phe)-poly (aminoethyl ethylene phosphate)-block-poly (l-lactic acid) (PEG-PLLA/RGDF-PAEEP-PLLA) hybrid micelles with tunable active targeting and acid/phosphatase-stimulated drug release are developed. The optimized hybrid micelles with 6 wt % of RGDF have favorable in vitro and in vivo activities. The hybrid micelles could temporarily shield the targeting efficacy of RGDF at pH 7.4 due to the steric effect exerted by concealment of RGDF peptides in the PEG corona, which strongly decreases the clearance by mononuclear phagocyte system and consequently improves the tumor accumulation. Inside the solid tumor with a lower acidic pH, the hybrid micelles restore the active tumor targeting property with exposed RGDF on the surface of the micelles because of the increased protonation and stretching degree of PAEEP blocks. RGDF-mediated endocytosis improves the tumor cell uptake. The hybrid micelles would also enhance intracellular drug release because of the hydrolysis of the acid/phosphatase-sensitivity of PAEEP blocks in endo/lysosome. Systemic administration of the hybrid micelles significantly inhibits tumor growth by 96% due to the integration of enhanced circulation time, tumor accumulation, cell uptake and intracellular drug release.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) based on smart synthetic amphiphilic copolymers are used to transport and controlled release dexamethasone in the inner ear to protect against the ototoxic effect of cisplatin. The NPs were based on a mixture of two pseudo-block polymer drugs obtained by free radical polymerization: poly(VI-co-HEI) and poly(VP-co-MVE) or poly(VP-co-MTOS), being VI 1-vinylimidazole, VP N-vinylpyrrolidone, and HEI, MVE and MTOS the methacrylic derivatives of ibuprofen, α-tocopherol and α-tocopheryl succinate, respectively. The NPs were obtained by nanoprecipitation with appropriate hydrodynamic properties, and isoelectric points that matched the pH of inflamed tissue. The NPs were tested both in vitro (using HEI-OC1 cells) and in vivo (using a murine model) with good results. Although the concentration of dexamethasone administered in the NPs is around two orders of magnitude lower that the conventional treatment for intratympanic administration, the NPs protected from the cytotoxic effect of cisplatin when the combination of the appropriate properties in terms of size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency and isoelectric point were achieved. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that pH sensitive NPs are used to protect from cisplatin-induced hearing loss by intratympanic administration.

Abstract
Pain is a widespread and growing health problem worldwide that exerts a considerable social and economic impact on both patients and healthcare systems and, therefore, on society in general. Although current treatment modalities include a wide variety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, due to the complexity of pain and individual differences in clinical response these options are not always effective in mitigating and relieving pain. In addition, some pain drugs such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), local anesthetics and opioids show several unfavorable side effects. Therefore, current research advances in this medical field are based on the development of potential treatments to address many of the unmet needs and to overcome the existing limitations in pain management. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems present an exciting opportunity as alternative platforms to improve efficacy and safety of medications currently in use. Herein, we review a broad range of nanoparticle formulations (organic nanostructures and inorganic nanoparticles), which have been developed to encapsulate an array of painkillers, paying special attention to the key advantages that these systems offer, (compared to the use of the free drug), as well as to the more relevant results of preclinical studies in animal models. Additionally, we will briefly discuss the impact of some of these nanoformulations in clinical trials.

Abstract
This work reports on the preparation and characterization of anisotropic composition nanoparticles based on the electrostatic binding of dodecyltrimethylammonium surfactant to poly(acrylic acid) blocks of diblock copolymers with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAm). These nanoparticles form kinetically stable dispersions and display liquid-crystalline cores with a micellar cubic structure, as determined by small-angle X-ray scattering. Mixtures with different proportions of the two block copolymers and stoichiometric amounts of C12TA+ were prepared and their behavior was compared with that of the parent nanoparticles. Upon heating, dilute dispersions (0.01 and 0.1 wt %) analyzed by dynamic light scattering display a slight decrease in the hydrodynamic radius, consistent with the dehydration of PNIPAm and mixed PNIPAm-PEO blocks at the shell. At higher concentrations, 2 wt %, the nanoparticles with pure PNIPAm shell undergo macroscopic phase separation above 32 °C. Nanoparticles with a pure PEO shell do not display temperature sensitivity. For the mixtures, no visual change is observed, but the dynamic light scattering results evidence the formation of clusters, whose size and reversibility depend on the PEO/PNIPAm proportion. This indicates the formation of mixed nanoparticles containing both PEO and PNIPAm blocks. Nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy NMR analyses of the mixtures do not show the correlation peak expected for PEO and PNIPAm blocks in close proximity, suggesting their segregation at the nanoparticle shell. On the basis of these results, we discuss the possibilities of the neutral blocks distribution on the shell of mixed nanoparticles. Overall, we have confirmed that these nanoparticles may display a temperature-controlled reversible aggregation while preserving their internal liquid-crystalline structures.

Abstract
Introduction Physiological processes at the molecular level take place at precise spatiotemporal scales, which vary from tissue to tissue and from one patient to another, implying the need for carriers that enable tunable release of therapeutics. Areas covered Classification of all drug release to intrinsic and extrinsic is proposed, followed by the etymological clarification of the term 'tunable' and its distinction from the term 'tailorable'. Tunability is defined as analogous to tuning a guitar string or a radio receiver to the right frequency using a single knob. It implies changing a structural parameter along a continuous quantitative scale and correlating it numerically with the release kinetics. Examples of tunable, tailorable and environmentally responsive carriers are given, along with the parameters used to achieve these levels of control. Expert opinion Interdependence of multiple variables defining the carrier microstructure obstructs the attempts to elucidate parameters that allow for the independent tuning of release kinetics. Learning from the tunability of nanostructured materials and superstructured metamaterials can be a fruitful source of inspiration in the quest for the new generation of tunable release carriers. The greater intersection of traditional materials sciences and pharmacokinetic perspectives could foster the development of more sophisticated mechanisms for tunable release.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by degradation of joints with the development of painful osteophytes in the surrounding tissues. Currently, there are a limited number of treatments for this disease, and many of these only provide temporary, palliative relief. In this review, we discuss particle-based drug delivery systems that can provide targeted and sustained delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents to OA-affected sites. We focus on technologies such as polymeric micelles and nano-/microparticles, liposomes, and dendrimers for their potential treatment and/or diagnosis of OA. Several promising studies are highlighted, motivating the continued development of delivery technologies to improve treatments for OA.

Abstract
Thermo/pH dual responsive mixed-shell polymeric micelles based on multiple hydrogen bonding were prepared by self-assembly of diaminotriazine-terminated poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (DAT-PCL), uracil-terminated methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG-U), and uracil-terminated poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL-U) at room temperature. PCL acted as the core and MPEG/PNVCL as the mixed shell. Increasing the temperature, PNVCL collapsed and enclosed the PCL core, while MPEG penetrated through the PNVCL shell, thereby leading to the formation of MPEG channels on the micelles surface. The low cytotoxicity of the mixed micelles was confirmed by an MTT assay against BGC-823 cells. Studies on the in vitro drug release showed that a much faster release rate was observed at pH 5.0 compared to physiological pH, owing to the dissociation of hydrogen bonds. Therefore, the mixed-shell polymeric micelles would be very promising candidates in drug delivery systems.

Abstract
In recent years, innovations and consumer demands have led to increasingly complex liquid formulations. These growing complexities have provided industrial players and their customers access to new markets through product differentiation, improved performance, and compatibility/stability with other products. One strategy for enabling more complex formulations is the use of active encapsulation. When encapsulation is employed, strategies are required to effect the release of the active at the desired location and time of action. One particular route that has received significant academic research effort is the employment of triggers to induce active release upon a specific stimulus, though little has translated for industrial use to date. To address emerging industrial formulation needs, in this review, we discuss areas of trigger release chemistries and their applications specifically as relevant to industrial use. We focus the discussion on the use of heat, light, shear, and pH triggers as applied in several model polymeric systems for inducing active release. The goal is that through this review trends will emerge for how technologies can be better developed to maximize their value through industrial adaptation.

Abstract
Exploring ideal nanocarriers for drug delivery systems has encountered unavoidable hurdles, especially the conflict between enhanced cellular uptake and prolonged blood circulation, which have determined the final efficacy of cancer therapy. Here, based on controlled self-assembly, surface structure variation in response to external environment was constructed toward overcoming the conflict. A novel micelle with mixed shell of hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) PEG and pH responsive hydrophobic poly(β-amino ester) (PAE) was designed through the self-assembly of diblock amphiphilic copolymers. To avoid the accelerated clearance from blood circulation caused by the surface exposed targeting group c(RGDfK), here c(RGDfK) was conjugated to the hydrophobic PAE and hidden in the shell of PEG at pH 7.4. At tumor pH, charge conversion occurred, and c(RGDfK) stretched out of the shell, leading to facilitated cellular internalization according to the HepG2 cell uptake experiments. Meanwhile, the heterogeneous surface structure endowed the micelle with prolonged blood circulation. With the self-regulated multifunctional collaborated properties of enhanced cellular uptake and prolonged blood circulation, successful inhibition of tumor growth was achieved from the demonstration in a tumor-bearing mice model. This novel nanocarrier could be a promising candidate in future clinical experiments.

Abstract
In the past decades, polymer based nanoscale polymeric assemblies have attracted continuous interest due to their potential applications in many fields, such as nanomedicine. Many efforts have been dedicated to tailoring the three-dimensional architecture and the placement of functional groups at well-defined positions within the polymeric assemblies, aiming to augment their function. To achieve such goals, in one way, novel polymeric building blocks can be designed by controlled living polymerization methodology and advanced chemical modifications. In contrast, by focusing on the end function, others and we have been practicing strategies of cooperative self-assembly of multiple polymeric building blocks chosen from the vast library of conventional block polymers which are easily available. The advantages of such strategies lie in the simplicity of the preparation process and versatile choice of the constituent polymers in terms of their chemical structure and functionality as well as the fact that cooperative self-assembly based on supramolecular interactions offers elegant and energy-efficient bottom-up strategies. Combination of these principles has been exploited to optimize the architecture of polymeric assemblies with improved function, to impart new functionality into micelles and to realize polymeric nanocomplexes exhibiting functional integration, similar to some natural systems like artificial viruses, molecular chaperones, multiple enzyme systems, and so forth. In this Account, we shall first summarize several straightforward designing principles with which cooperative assembly of multiple polymeric building blocks can be implemented, aiming to construct polymeric nanoassemblies with hierarchal structure and enhanced functionalities. Next, examples will be discussed to demonstrate the possibility to create multifunctional nanoparticles by combination of the designing principles and judiciously choosing of the building blocks. We focus on multifunctional nanoparticles which can partially address challenges widely existing in nanomedicine such as long blood circulation, efficient cellular uptake, and controllable release of payloads. Finally, bioactive polymeric assemblies, which have certain functions closely mimicking those of some natural systems, will be used to conceive the concept of functional integration.

Abstract
Complex micelles with a hydrophobic poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) core and a mixed P(Asp-co-AspPBA)/PEG shell were prepared through co-assembly of two block copolymers PCL-b- P(Asp-co-AspPBA) and PEG-b-PCL in basic aqueous solutions. The P(Asp-co-AspPBA) chains (Asp = aspartic acid; AspPBA = aspartamidophenylboronic acid) collapsed and formed a shell layer around the PCL core at neutral pH while the soluble PEG chains stabilised the micelles. The collapsed P(Asp-co-AspPBA) polymer becomes soluble under higher glucose concentration and collapses onto the PCL core reversibly at lower glucose concentration. Self-regulated release of glibenclamide from the complex micelles was achieved based on the reversible change of P(Asp-co-AspPBA) chain mobility in response to the change of glucose concentration. As a result, polymeric micelles with glucose-responsive on-off switches were successfully developed.

Abstract
Using a simultaneous block polymerization/in situ cross-linking from a heterofunctional initiator approach, we produced a nanostructured and cross-linked block polymer in a single step from a ternary mixture of monomers and used it as a precursor for a cross-linked nanoporous material. Using 2-(benzylsulfanylthiocarbonylsulfanyl)ethanol as a heterofunctional initiator, simultaneous ring-opening transesterification polymerization of d,l-lactide in the presence of tin 2-ethylhexanoate as a catalyst and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of styrene at 120 °C produced a polylactide-b-polystyrene (PLA-b-PS) block polymer. Incorporation of divinylbenzene in the polymerization mixture allowed in situ cross-linking during the simultaneous block polymerization to result in the cross-linked block polymer precursor in one step. This material was converted into cross-linked nanoporous polymer by etching PLA in a basic solution.

Abstract
The marriage of biodegradable polymer and fluorescent imaging has resulted in an important area of polymeric biomaterials: biodegradable fluorescent polymers. Researchers have put significant efforts on developing versatile fluorescent biomaterials due to their promising in biological/biomedical labeling, tracking, monitoring, imaging, and diagnostic applications, especially in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and cancer imaging applications. Biodegradable fluorescent polymers can function not only as implant biomaterials but also as imaging probes. Currently, there are two major classes of biodegradable polymers used as fluorescent materials. The first class is the combination of non-fluorescent biodegradable polymers and fluorescent agents such as organic dyes and quantum dots. Another class of polymers shows intrinsic photoluminescence as polymers by themselves carrying integral fluorescent chemical structures in or pendent to their polymer backbone, such as Green Fluorescent protein (GFP), and the recently developed biodegradable photoluminescent polymer (BPLP). Thus there is no need to conjugate or encapsulate additional fluorescent materials for the latter. In the present review, we will review the fluorescent biodegradable polymers with emphases on material fluorescence mechanism, design criteria for fluorescence, and their cutting-edge applications in biomedical engineering. We expect that this review will provide insightful discussion on the fluorescent biomaterial design and lead to innovations for the development of the next generation of fluorescent biomaterials and fluorescence-based biomedical technology.

Abstract
Redox-sensitive shell cross-linked (SCL) poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-block-polystyrene (PDMAEMA-b-PS) nanoparticles have been facilely fabricated by surfactant-free emulsion reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (SFE-RAFT), in which amphiphilic C12H25-PDMAEMA copolymers acted as stabilizers. 1H NMR, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were applied to investigate the compositions and the morphologies of the resultant nanoparticles. Then, the as-prepared nanoparticles were used as a carrier to encapsulate of hydrophobic drugs, and the release could be triggered by a redox reagent, dithiothreitol (DTT). The SCL nanoparticles had a good biocompatibility. These properties indicated that these nanoparticles would be used as promising drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
The silica/polymer hybrid hollow nanoparticles with channels and gatekeepers were successfully fabricated with a facile strategy by using thermoresponsive complex micelles of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PEG-b-PNIPAM) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PNIPAM-b-P4VP) as the template. In aqueous solution, the complex micelles (PEG-b-PNIPAM/PNIPAM-b-P4VP) formed with the PNIPAM block as the core and the PEG/P4VP blocks as the mixed shell at 45 °C and pH 4.0. After shell cross-linking by 1,2-bis(2-iodoethoxyl)ethane (BIEE), tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) selectively well-deposited on the P4VP block and processed the sol-gel reaction. When the temperature was decreased to 4 °C, the PNIPAM block became swollen and further soluble, and the PEG-b-PNIPAM block copolymer escaped from the hybrid nanoparticles as a result of swelled PNIPAM and weak interaction between PEG and silica at pH 4.0. Therefore, the hybrid hollow silica nanoparticles with inner thermoresponsive PNIPAM as gatekeepers and channels in the silica shell were successfully obtained, which could be used for switchable controlled drug release. In the system, the complex micelles, as a template, could avoid the formation of larger aggregates during the preparation of the hybrid hollow silica nanoparticles. The thermoresponsive core (PNIPAM) could conveniently control the hollow space through the stimuli-responsive phase transition instead of calcination or chemical etching. In the meantime, the channel in the hybrid silica shell could be achieved because of the escape of PEG chains from the hybrid nanoparticles.
