Abstract
Morphological modulation in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with particular emphasis on the correlation between structure and target applications in biomedical fields, is currently in its early stage of evolution. Herein, a multifunctional rattle-architecture imine-based COF with a mobile core of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and an outer polydopamine (PDA) shell, tailored for cancer treatment, has been developed to effectively integrate dual responsive release capabilities with the potential for multiple therapeutic applications. The engineered COF displays outstanding crystallinity, a suitable size and precisely controlled morphological characteristics. By leveraging COF and PDA attributes, the successful co-delivery of hydrophilic doxorubicin (DOX) and hydrophobic docetaxel (DTX) within discrete compartments is achieved responsive to both pH and near-infrared triggers. Designed nanocarrier outperforms prior COFs with a superior 83.7% DOX loading capacity, thanks to its expansive internal space and porous shell. Taking advantage of the inclusion of Au core and the concurrent presence of COF and PDA outer shells, the nanocarrier exhibits a significant photothermal-conversion capability. The rattle-architecture double-shelled Au@RCOF@PDA were functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol)-folic acid (PEG-FA) to confer the system with active-targeting capability and enhanced biocompatibility. Through in vitro and in vivo evaluations, the designed system demonstrates an exceptional synergistic anti-tumor effect, along with favorable biosafety and histocompatibility. This study not only sheds light on the remarkable merits offered by regulating the morphology of COF-based systems in cancer therapy but also highlights the potential for synergistic therapeutic approaches in advancing cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
The formation of polymeric micelles in aqueous environments through the self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers can provide a versatile platform to increase the solubility and permeability of hydrophobic drugs and pave the way for their administration. In comparison to various self-assembly-based vehicles, polymeric micelles commonly have a smaller size, spherical morphology, and simpler scale up process. The use of polymer-based micelles for the encapsulation and carrying of therapeutics to the site of action triggered a line of research on the synthesis of various amphiphilic polymers in the past few decades. The extended knowledge on polymers includes biocompatible smart amphiphilic copolymers for the formation of micelles, therapeutics loading and response to external stimuli, micelles with a tunable drug release pattern, etc. Different strategies such as ring-opening polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization, reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer, nitroxide mediated polymerization, and a combination of these methods were employed to synthesize copolymers with diverse compositions and topologies with the proficiency of self-assembly into well-defined micellar structures. The current review provides a summary of the important polymerization techniques and recent achievements in the field of drug delivery using micellar systems. This review proposes new visions for the design and synthesis of innovative potent amphiphilic polymers in order to benefit from their application in drug delivery fields.

Abstract
Chemotherapy drugs have been used for a long time in the treatment of cancer, but serious side effects are caused by the inability of the drug to be solely delivered to the tumor when treating cancer with chemotherapy. Natural products have attracted more and more attention due to the antitumor effect in multiple ways, abundant resources and less side effects. Therefore, the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs may be an effective antitumor strategy, which can inhibit the growth of tumor and multidrug resistance, reduce side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Nano-drug co-delivery system (NDCDS) can play an important role in the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the research status and application prospect of nano-delivery strategies for the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs, aiming to provide a basis for the development of anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract
10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) is a natural plant alkaloid from Camptotheca that shows potent antitumor activity by targeting intracellular topoisomerase I. However, factors such as instability of the lactone ring and insolubility in water have limited the clinical application of this drug. In recent years, unprecedented advances in biomedical nanotechnology have facilitated the development of nano drug delivery systems. It has been found that nanomedicine can significantly improve the stability and water solubility of HCPT. NanoMedicines with different diagnostic and therapeutic functions have been developed to significantly improve the anticancer effect of HCPT. In this paper, we collected reports on HCPT nanomedicines against tumors in the past decade. Based on current research advances, we dissected the current status and limitations of HCPT nanomedicines development and looked forward to future research directions.

Abstract
Tumor-targeted therapy based on nanoparticles is a popular research direction in the biomedical field. After decades of research and development, both the passive targeting ability of the inherent properties of NPs and the active targeting based on ligand receptor interaction have gained deeper understanding. Unfortunately, most targeted delivery strategies are still in the preclinical trial stage, so it is necessary to further study the biological fate of particles in vivo and the interaction mechanism with tumors. This article reviews different targeted delivery strategies based on NPs, and focuses on the physical and chemical properties of NPs (size, morphology, surface and intrinsic properties), ligands (binding number/force, activity and species) and receptors (endocytosis, distribution and recycling) and other factors that affect particle targeting. The limitations and solutions of these factors are further discussed, and a variety of new targeting schemes are introduced, hoping to provide guidance for future targeting design and achieve the purpose of rapid transformation of targeted particles into clinical application.

Abstract
A tumor-targeting enhanced chemotherapy, enabled by aptamer-drug conjugate nanomicelles, is reported that boosts antitumor immune responses. Multivalent aptamer drug conjugate (ApMDC), an amphiphilic telodendrimer consisting of a hydrophilic aptamer and a hydrophobic monodendron anchored with four anticancer drugs by acid-labile linkers, was designed and synthesized. By co-self-assembly with an ApMDC analogue, in which aptamer is replaced with polyethylene glycol, the surface aptamer density of these nanomicelles can be screened to reach an optimal complementation between blood circulation and tumor-targeting ability. Optimized nanomicelles can enhance immunogenic cell death of tumor cells, which strikingly augments the tumor-specific immune responses of the checkpoint blockade in immunocompetent tumor-bearing mice. ApMDC nanomicelles represent a robust platform for structure-function optimization of drug conjugates and nanomedicines.

Abstract
Cancer treatments have improved significantly during the last decade but are not yet satisfactory. Combination therapy is often administered to improve efficacy and safety. Drug delivery systems can also improve efficacy and safety. To control the spatiotemporal distribution of drugs, nanotechnology involving liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and polymeric micelles has been developed. Co-delivery systems of multiple drugs are a promising approach to combat cancer. Synergistic effects and reduced side effects are expected from the use of co-delivery systems. In this review, we summarize various co-delivery systems for multiple drugs, including small-molecule drugs, nucleic acids, genes, and proteins. Co-delivery of drugs with different properties is relatively difficult, but some researchers have succeeded in developing such co-delivery systems. Environment-responsive carrier designs can control the release of cargos. Although their preparation is more complicated than that of mono-delivery systems, co-delivery systems can simplify clinical procedures and improve patient QOL.

Abstract
The process of programmed cell death in higher eukaryotes (apoptosis), is generally characterized by distinct morphological characteristics and energy-dependent biochemical mechanisms. Apoptosis is considered as a vital component of various processes including normal cell turnover, proper development and functioning of the immune system, hormone-dependent atrophy, embryonic development and chemical-induced cell death. Apoptosis seems to play an important key role in the progression of several human diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and many types of cancer. Promotion of apoptosis may be a good approach for the prevention of cancer cell proliferation. In early studies, antitumor compounds have been found to induce the apoptotic process in tumor cells. On the other hand, several hydrazones were reported to have lower toxicity than hydrazides due to the blockage of -NH2 group. Therefore, the design of hydrazones that activate and promote apoptosis is an attractive strategy for the discovery and development of potential anticancer agents. The aim of this review is to provide a general overview of current knowledge and the connection between apoptosis and hydrazone. It is also the guide for the apoptotic activities of new hydrazone derivatives.

Abstract
Prodrug entrapment into nanocarriers for tumor delivery is a strategy to achieve a valid therapy with high efficiency. The prodrug contains anticancer agents conjugating with functional moieties or ligands so that the active component is released after metabolism in the body or tumor. The advantages of nanosystems for loading prodrugs include high loading, increased prodrug stability, improved bioavailability and enhanced targeting to tumor cells. In the present article, we introduce the prodrug delivery approaches according to nanomedicine and the recent advances in prodrug-loaded nanocarriers. First, we discuss the conceptional design of combined prodrugs and nanocarriers in response to the obstruction in anticancer therapy. Then we describe the cases of prodrug-loaded nanoparticles for cancer treatment during the past 5 years.

Abstract
An amphiphilic biodegradable prodrug (PLG-g-mPEG/CPT) was synthesized by conjugating disulfide-containing camptothecin (CPT) to poly(L-glutamic acid)-graft-methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (PLG-g-mPEG) through esterification reaction. The amphiphilic prodrugs could self-assemble into micellar nanoparticles and encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX) in aqueous solution at pH 7.4. The treatment of the nanoparticles with reducing glutathione (GSH) at cytosolic concentration (10 mM) significantly promoted the in vitro dual release of DOX and CPT from the micelles. The results of flow cytometry (FCM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) manifested that the intracellular release of DOX and CPT from the micelles was enhanced by increasing the intracellular GSH level. Consistently, the MCF-7 cell killing mediated by the micelles was also intracellular GSH concentration-dependent. The low combination index (CI) value of < 0.3 demonstrated the high synergistic effect of DOX and CPT co-delivered by the nanoparticles in tumor cell killing. Therefore, this GSH-triggered dual release drug delivery system is a promising strategy for combination cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy has been widely applied in clinics. However, the therapeutic potential of chemotherapy against cancer is seriously dissatisfactory due to the nonspecific drug distribution, multidrug resistance (MDR) and the heterogeneity of cancer. Therefore, combinational therapy based on chemotherapy mediated by nanotechnology, has been the trend in clinical research at present, which can result in a remarkably increased therapeutic efficiency with few side effects to normal tissues. Moreover, to achieve the accurate pre-diagnosis and real-time monitoring for tumor, the research of nano-theranostics, which integrates diagnosis with treatment process, is a promising field in cancer treatment. In this review, the recent studies on combinational therapy based on chemotherapy will be systematically discussed. Furthermore, as a current trend in cancer treatment, advance in theranostic nanoparticles based on chemotherapy will be exemplified briefly. Finally, the present challenges and improvement tips will be presented in combination therapy and nano-theranostics.

Abstract
Incorporating labile bonds inside polymer backbone and side chains yields interesting polymer materials that are responsive to change of environmental stimuli. Drugs can be conjugated to various polymers through different conjugation linkages and spacers. One of the key factors influencing the release profile of conjugated drugs is the hydrolytic stability of the conjugated linkage. Generally, the hydrolysis of acid-labile linkages, including acetal, imine, hydrazone, and to some extent β-thiopropionate, are relatively fast and the conjugated drug can be completely released in the range of several hours to a few days. The cleavage of ester linkages are usually slow, which is beneficial for continuous and prolonged release. Another key structural factor is the water solubility of polymer-drug conjugates. Generally, the release rate from highly water-soluble prodrugs is fast. In prodrugs with large hydrophobic segments, the hydrophobic drugs are usually located in the hydrophobic core of micelles and nanoparticles, which limits the access to the water, hence lowering significantly the hydrolysis rate. Finally, self-immolative polymers are also an intriguing new class of materials. New synthetic pathways are needed to overcome the fact that much of the small molecules produced upon degradation are not active molecules useful for biomedical applications.

Abstract
To achieve superior therapeutic efficacy, the combination chemotherapy using two or more anticancer drugs in clinical practice has been generally accepted as a feasible strategy. On account of the concept of combination chemotherapy, co-delivery of anticancer drugs with nanotechnology gradually becomes a desired strategy and one of the research frontiers on modern drug delivery. In recent years, nano drug co-delivery system (NDCDS), which loads at least two anticancer drugs with different physicochemical and pharmacological properties into a combination delivery system, has achieved rapid development. NDCDS synergistically inhibited the growth of the tumor compared with the free drugs. In this review, we highlighted the current state of co-delivery nanoparticles and the most commonly used nanomaterial, discussed challenges and strategies, and prospect future development.

Abstract
Cancer is a broad term for a class of prevalent diseases as one in three people develop cancer during their lifetime. Although, there are few success stories of cancer therapy, most of the existing medications do not lead to complete recovery. Because of the complexity of cancer, usually a single therapeutic approach is insufficient for the suppression of cancer growth and metastasis. Simultaneous loading and co-delivery of different agents with different physiochemical characteristics to the same tumors have been suggested for minimizing the dose of anticancer drugs and achieving the synergistic therapeutic impacts in cancers treatment. Intense work to develop nanotechnology-based systems as a suitable option for cancer treatment is currently underway. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the co-delivery systems based on polymeric nanoparticles including polymeric micelles, dendrimers, poly-d,l-lactide-co-glycolide, polyethylenimine, poly(l-lysine) and chitosan for efficacious cancer therapy.

Abstract
The combination of multidrug chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) enhances cancer therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we develop a simple and smart pH/NIR dual-stimulus-responsive degradable mesoporous CoFe2O4@PDA@ZIF-8 sandwich nanocomposite. The mesoporous CoFe2O4 core acts as T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging probe, PTT agent, and loading platform of hydrophilic doxorubicin (DOX). A polydopamine (PDA) layer is used to avoid the premature leakage of DOX before arriving at tumor site, enhance PTT efficiency, and facilitate the integration of ZIF-8 (a kind of metal-organic framework). The ZIF-8 shell serves to encapsulate hydrophobic camptothecin (CPT) and as the switch for the pH and NIR stimulation-responsive release of the two drugs. Therefore, T2-weighted MR imaging-guided multidrug chemotherapy and PTT synergistic treatment is achieved. Two kinds of anticancer drugs, hydrophilic DOX and hydrophobic CPT, are successfully loaded in CoFe2O4 and ZIF-8, respectively, so no mutual interference between the two drugs exists. A unique two-stage stepwise release process is exhibited for CPT and DOX with an interval of 12 h to improve the anticancer efficacy under the acidic microenvironment of tumor tissue. NIR irradiation achieves the burst drug-release and PTT after laser stimulation, simultaneously. With this smart design, high drug concentration is achieved at the tumor site by quick release, especially for the therapeutic drugs that show nonlinear pharmacokinetics, and PTT is integrated efficiently. Furthermore, negligible biotoxicity and a remarkable synergic antitumor effect of the hybrid nanocomposites are validated by HepG2 cells and tumor-bearing mice as models. Our multidrug delivery-releasing composite improves tumor therapeutic efficiency significantly compared with a single-drug chemotherapy system. The simple multifunctional composite system can be applied as an effective platform for personal nanomedicine with diagnosis, smart drug delivery, and cancer treatment through its remarkable photothermal property and controllable multidrug release.

Acta Biomater 2016; 40:243-253.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The linear, Y-shaped, and linear-dendritic block copolymers of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-polyamidoamine-block-poly(l-glutamic acid) (MPEG-b-PAMAM-b-PGA) with one, two, four, and eight PGA arms but similar MPEG/PGA weight ratios (W/W) (named as P1PA, P2PA, P4PA and P8PA, respectively) were synthesized and comparatively investigated for doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) delivery. All the obtained block copolymers were highly biocompatible and could efficiently load DOX into nanoparticles (NPs) through electrostatic interaction. The NPs formed by linear (P1PA) or Y-shaped (P2PA) block copolymers and DOX were spherically shaped with smaller sizes, while the NPs formed from linear-dendritic block copolymers (P4PA and P8PA) were irregular in shape and larger in size. The P1PA/DOX and P2PA/DOX NPs exhibited better DOX protection and slower DOX release profile. However, cell cytotoxicity assays indicated that all the DOX-loaded NPs exhibited similar cytotoxicities with free DOX, indicating effective DOX release after cellular uptake. The NPs from linear and Y-shaped block copolymers greatly extended the blood circulation time, and displayed more accumulation in tumor site and less accumulation in the liver and kidney compared with the linear-dendritic counterparts. In addition, the P1PA/DOX and P2PA/DOX NPs also exhibited higher anti-tumor efficacy and less toxicity than the other DOX formulations. All these results indicated that the linear and Y-shaped MPEG-b-PAMAM-b-PGA block copolymers displayed better DOX delivery ability in anti-tumor treatment than the linear-dendritic copolymers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Polymeric NPs derived from block copolymers have emerged as effective vehicles for drug delivery. However, the majority of the researches in this field have involved simple linear block copolymers and there are very few comparative studies on the self-assembly, in vitro, and in vivo drug delivery by the block copolymers with similar composition but different architectures. In this study, a series of linear, Y-shaped, and linear-dendritic polypeptide-based block copolymers were prepared and thoroughly investigated for DOX delivery. These block polymers loaded DOX into NPs with different sizes and morphologies, and exhibited different anti-tumor capabilities both in vitro and in vivo. The results indicated that the architecture of the block copolymers played an important role in their drug delivery behaviors.

Abstract
A novel smart nanoparticle-based system has been developed for tracking intracellular drug delivery through surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). This new drug delivery system (DDS) shows targeted cytotoxicity towards cancer cells via pH-cleavable covalent carboxylic hydrazone links and the SERS tracing capability based on gold@silica nanocarriers. Doxorubicin, as a model anticancer drug, was employed to compare SERS with conventional fluorescence tracing approaches. It is evident that SERS demonstrates higher sensitivity and resolution, revealing intracellular details, as the strengths of the original Raman signals can be amplified by SERS. Importantly, non-destructive SERS will provide the designed DDS with great autonomy and potential to study the dynamic procedures of non-fluorescent drug delivery into living cells.

Abstract
Polymeric prodrugs formed by the conjugation of drugs onto polymers have shown great promise in cancer therapy because of the enhancement of water solubility, elimination of premature drug release, and the improvement of pharmacokinetics. To integrate the two advantages of upregulated stability during circulation and selective release of drug in cancer cells, a pH and reduction dual-sensitive prodrug nanogel (CLP) was synthesized via a simple one step "click chemistry". CLP was spherically shaped with a uniform diameter of 60.6 ± 13.7 nm and exhibited great stability in size against large volume dilution, high salt concentration, and long-time incubation in phosphate-buffered saline. Owing to the presence of hydrazone-bonded doxorubicin (DOX) and disulfide cross-linker, CLP released minimal amount (7.8%) of drug under normal physiological pH (i.e., 7.4) condition. But it released 85.5% of the loaded DOX at endosomal pH (i.e., 5.5) plus the presence of 5.0 mM GSH in 120 h. CLP could be effectively internalized by tumor cells and subsequently release DOX in the intracellular environment, resulting in effective proliferation inhibition of HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, compared with free DOX and non-cross-linked prodrug micelle (NCLP), CLP accumulated more in tumor site but less in the normal organs, so that CLP performed the enhanced antitumor efficiency and reduced side-toxicities toward the MCF-7 human breast cancer xenograft nude mouse model. With convenient fabrication, favorable stability, controlled release properties, optimized biodistribution, and enhanced suppression of tumor growth, CLP held great potential for optimal antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is generally classified based on the receptors overexpressed on the cell nucleus, which include hormone receptors such as progesterone (PR) and estrogen (ER), and HER2. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a type of cancer that lacks any of these three types of receptor proteins (ER/PR/HER2). Tumor cells exhibit drug resistant phenotypes that decrease the efficacy of chemotherapeutic treatments. Generally, drug resistance has a genetic basis that is caused by an abnormal gene expression, nevertheless, there are several types of drug resistance: efflux pumps reducing the cellular concentration of the drug, alterations in membrane lipids that reduce cellular uptake, increased or altered drug targets, metabolic alteration of the drug, inhibition of apoptosis, repair of the damaged DNA, and alteration of the cell cycle checkpoints. The use of "combination therapy" is recognized as an efficient solution to treat human diseases, in particular, breast cancer. In this review, we give examples of different nanocarriers used to co-deliver multiple therapeutics (chemotherapeutic agent and nucleic acid) to drug-resistant tumor cells, and lastly, we give our recommendations for the future directions for the co-delivery treatments.

Abstract
Dendrimers as a new class of polymeric materials have a highly ordered branched structure, exact molecular weight, multivalency and available internal cavities, which make them extensively used in biology and drug-delivery. Concurrent with the development of dendrimers, much more attention is drawn to a novel block copolymer which combines linear chains with dendritic macromolecules, the linear-dendritic block copolymer (LDBC). Because of the different solubility of the contrasting regions, the amphiphilic LDBCs could self-assemble to form aggregates with special core-shell structures which exhibit excellent properties different from traditional micelles, such as lower critical micelle concentration, prolonged circulation in the bloodstream, better biocompatibility, and lower toxicity. The present review briefly describes the type of LDBC, the self-assembly behavior in solution, and the application in delivery system including the application as drug carriers and gene vectors. The interactions between block copolymers and drugs are also summarized to better understand the release mechanism of drugs from the linear-dendritic block copolymers.

Abstract
Background Dual loading drug delivery system with tumor targeting efficacy and sequential release function provides a promising platform for anticancer drug delivery. Herein, we established a novel AuCOOH@FACS nanogel system for co-delivery miR-218 mimics (as bio-drug) and Temozolomide(as chemo-drug). Methods DLS and TEM were employed to determine the characteristics of particles and nanogels. The cell viability was calculated for study synergistic effect of both drugs coadministration and in nanogel forms. The amounts of Au uptake were measured by ICP-MS in cell and tumors to quantify the targeting drug delivery efficacy. Tumor weight and mice weight were investigated to study the targeting antitumor efficacy of nanogel system. Results The results revealed that using AuCOOH@FACS nanogel as delivery vehicles, drugs could be targeting delivery to tumor site, the intracellular uptake is enhanced to a greater extent, and significant antitumor efficacy is fold increase compared with free drug administration group, without noticeable system cytotoxicity. Conclusions This system offers an efficient approach to cancer therapy and holds significant potential to improve the treatment of cancer in the future.

Abstract
Two kinds of triblock poly(ethylene glycol)-polyleucine (PEG-PLeu) copolymers were synthesized through the ring-opening polymerization of L-Leu N-carboxyanhydride (NCA), or equivalent D-Leu NCA and L-Leu NCA with amino-terminated PEG as a macroinitiator. The amphiphilic copolymers spontaneously self-assembled into spherical micellar aggregations in an aqueous environment. The micelle with a racemic polypeptide core exhibited smaller critical micelle concentration and diameter compared to those with a levorotatory polypeptide core. A model anthracycline antineoplastic agent, i.e., doxorubicin (DOX), was loaded into micelles through nanoprecipitation, and the PEG-P(D,L-Leu) micelle exhibited higher drug-loading efficacy than that with a P(L-Leu) core-this difference was attributed to the flexible and compact P(L-Leu) core. Sustained in vitro DOX release from micelles with both levorotatory and racemic polypeptide cores was observed, and the DOX-loaded PEG-P(D,L-Leu) micelle exhibited a slower release rate. More interestingly, DOX-loaded micelles exhibited chirality-mediated antitumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo, which are all better than that of free DOX. Furthermore, both enhanced tumor inhibition and excellent security in vivo were confirmed by histopathological or in situ cell apoptosis analyses. Therefore, DOX-loaded PEG-PLeu micelles appear to be an interesting nanoscale polymeric formulation for promising malignancy chemotherapy.

Abstract
The combination of dendritic and linear polymeric structures in the same macromolecule opens up new possibilities for the design of block copolymers and for applications of functional polymers that have self-assembly properties. There are three main strategies for the synthesis of linear-dendritic block copolymers (LDBCs) and, in particular, the emergence of click chemistry has made the coupling of preformed blocks one of the most efficient ways of obtaining libraries of LDBCs. In these materials, the periphery of the dendron can be precisely functionalised to obtain functional LDBCs with self-assembly properties of interest in different technological areas. The incorporation of stimuli-responsive moieties gives rise to smart materials that are generally processed as self-assemblies of amphiphilic LDBCs with a morphology that can be controlled by an external stimulus. Particular emphasis is placed on light-responsive LDBCs. Furthermore, a brief review of the biomedical or materials science applications of LDBCs is presented.
