Abstract
Nanodrug delivery systems based on tumor microenvironment responses have shown excellent performance in tumor-targeted therapy, given their unique targeting and drug-release characteristics. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been widely explored owing to their high specificity and expression in various tumor microenvironments. The design of an enzyme-sensitive nanodelivery system using MMPs as targeted receptors could markedly improve the performance of drug targeting. The current review focuses on the development and application of MMP-responsive drug carriers, and summarizes the classification of single- and multi-target nanocarriers based on their MMP responsiveness. The potential applications and challenges of this nanodrug delivery system are discussed to provide a reference for designing high-performance nanodrug delivery systems.

Abstract
Protecting group chemistry is essential for various organic transformation and polymerization processes. In particular, conventional anionic ring-opening polymerization (AROP) often requires proper protecting group chemistry because it is typically incompatible with most functional groups due to the highly basic and nucleophilic conditions. In this context, many functional epoxide monomers with proper protecting groups are developed, including the acetal group as a representative example. Since the early introduction of ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether, there is significant development of acetal-based monomers in the polyethers. These monomers are now utilized not only as protecting groups for hydroxyl groups under AROP conditions but also as pH-responsive moieties for biomedical applications, further expanding their utility in the use of functionalized polyethers. Recent progress in this field is outlined from their synthesis, polymerization, and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Four-arm star-shaped (denoted as ‘S’) polymer adamantane-[poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-b-poly(N,N’-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether]4 (S-PLGA-D-P) and its linear (denoted as ‘L’) counterpart (L-PLGA-D-P) were synthesized, then their self-assembled micelles were further developed to be platforms for anticancer drug delivery. Two types of polymeric micelles exhibited strong pH-responsiveness and good drug loading capacity (21.6% for S-PLGA-D-P and 22.9% for L-PLGA-D-P). Using doxorubicin (DOX) as the model drug, their DOX-loaded micelles displayed well controlled drug release behavior (18.5–19.0% of DOX release at pH 7.4 and 77.6–78.8% of DOX release at pH 5.0 within 80 h), good cytocompatibility against NIH-3T3 cells and effective anticancer efficacy against MCF-7 cells. However, the star-shaped polymeric micelles exhibited preferable stability, which was confirmed by the lower critical micelle concentration (CMC 0.0034 mg/mL) and decrease rate of particle sizes after 7 days incubation (3.5%), compared with the linear polymeric micelle L-PLGA-D-P (CMC 0.0070 mg/mL, decrease rate of particle sizes was 9.6%). Overall, these developed polymeric micelles have promising application as drug delivery system in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Inflammation is intimately related to the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore anti-inflammatory therapy is a very promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of these inflammatory diseases. To overcome the shortcomings of existing anti-inflammatory agents and their traditional formulations, such as nonspecific tissue distribution and uncontrolled drug release, bioresponsive drug delivery systems have received much attention in recent years. In this review, we first provide a brief introduction of the pathogenesis of inflammation, with an emphasis on representative inflammatory cells and mediators in inflammatory microenvironments that serve as pathological fundamentals for rational design of bioresponsive carriers. Then we discuss different materials and delivery systems responsive to inflammation-associated biochemical signals, such as pH, reactive oxygen species, and specific enzymes. Also, applications of various bioresponsive drug delivery systems in the treatment of typical acute and chronic inflammatory diseases are described. Finally, crucial challenges in the future development and clinical translation of bioresponsive anti-inflammatory drug delivery systems are highlighted.
