Abstract
Microfluidics has emerged as a transformative force in the field of drug delivery, offering innovative avenues to produce a diverse range of nano drug delivery systems. Thanks to its precise manipulation of small fluid volumes and its exceptional command over the physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles, this technology is notably able to enhance the pharmacokinetics of drugs. It has initiated a revolutionary phase in the domain of drug delivery, presenting a multitude of compelling advantages when it comes to developing nanocarriers tailored for the delivery of poorly soluble medications. These advantages represent a substantial departure from conventional drug delivery methodologies, marking a paradigm shift in pharmaceutical research and development. Furthermore, microfluidic platformsmay be strategically devised to facilitate targeted drug delivery with the objective of enhancing the localized bioavailability of pharmaceutical substances. In this paper, we have comprehensively investigated a range of significant microfluidic techniques used in the production of nanoscale drug delivery systems. This comprehensive review can serve as a valuable reference and offer insightful guidance for the development and optimization of numerous microfluidics-fabricated nanocarriers.

Abstract
In recent years, owing to the miniaturization of the fluidic environment, microfluidic technology offers unique opportunities for the implementation of nano drug delivery systems (NDDSs) production processes. Compared with traditional methods, microfluidics improves the controllability and uniformity of NDDSs. The fast mixing and laminar flow properties achieved in the microchannels can tune the physicochemical properties of NDDSs, including particle size, distribution and morphology, resulting in narrow particle size distribution and high drug-loading capacity. The success of lipid nanoparticles encapsulated mRNA vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 by microfluidics also confirmed its feasibility for scaling up the preparation of NDDSs via parallelization or numbering-up. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of microfluidics-based NDDSs, including the fundamentals of microfluidics, microfluidic synthesis of NDDSs, and their industrialization. The challenges of microfluidics-based NDDSs in the current status and the prospects for future development are also discussed. We believe that this review will provide good guidance for microfluidics-based NDDSs.

Abstract
To fabricate nanoscale proteinosomes, thermoresponsive miktoarm polymer protein bioconjugates were prepared through highly efficient molecular recognition between the β-cyclodextrin modified BSA (CD-BSA) and the adamantyl group anchored at the junction point of the thermoresponsive block copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PEG-b-PDEGMA). PEG-b-PDEGMA was synthesized by the Passerini reaction of benzaldehyde-modified PEG, 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid, and 1-isocyanoadamantane, followed by the atom transfer radical polymerization of DEGMA. Two block copolymers with different chain lengths of PDEGMA were prepared, and both self-assembled into polymersomes at a temperature above their lower critical solution temperatures (LCST). The two copolymers can undergo molecular recognition with the CD-BSA and form miktoarm star-like bioconjugates. The bioconjugates self-assembled into ∼160 nm proteinosomes at a temperature above their LCSTs, and the miktoarm star-like structure has a great effect on the formation of the proteinosomes. Most of the secondary structure and esterase activity of BSA in the proteinosomes were maintained. The proteinosomes exhibited low toxicity to the 4T1 cells and could deliver model drug doxorubicin into the 4T1 cells.

Abstract
The homeostasis of cellular activities is essential for the normal functioning of living organisms. Hence, the ability to regulate the fates of cells is of great significance for both fundamental chemical biology studies and therapeutic development. Despite the notable success of small-molecule drugs that normally act on cellular protein functions, current clinical challenges have highlighted the use of macromolecules to tune cell function for improved therapeutic outcomes. As a class of hybrid biomacromolecules gaining rapidly increasing attention, protein conjugates have exhibited great potential as versatile tools to manipulate cell function for therapeutic applications, including cancer treatment, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Therefore, recent progress in the design and assembly of protein conjugates used to regulate cell function is discussed in this review. The protein conjugates covered here are classified into three different categories based on their mechanisms of action and relevant applications: (1) regulation of intercellular interactions; (2) intervention in intracellular biological pathways; (3) termination of cell proliferation. Within each genre, a variety of protein conjugate scaffolds are discussed, which contain a diverse array of grafted molecules, such as lipids, oligonucleotides, synthetic polymers, and small molecules, with an emphasis on their conjugation methodologies and potential biomedical applications. While the current generation of protein conjugates is focused largely on delivery, the next generation is expected to address issues of site-specific conjugation, in vivo stability, controllability, target selectivity, and biocompatibility.

Abstract
In the present work the nonapeptides i.e., isotocin and vasotocin alone or in a combination were tested in C. magur to evaluate their effect on stripping by abdominal massage. Also, we used chitosan-carbon nanotube nanocomposites to conjugate the nonapetides isotocin (abbreviated as COOH-SWCNTCSPeP) and isotocin and vasotocin (COOH-SWCNTCSPePs) with the aim of sustaining the effect for a longer duration. The conjugation of nonapeptides with nanocomposites was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Two experiments were conducted to study the effect of naked (without nanoparticles) and conjugated nonapeptides on the milt release by stripping. Both the experiments consisted of eight treatments which included four naked groups two nanoconjugated groups and two controls. Both naked and nonconjugated formulations were successful in stripping the male catfish. The mRNA expression of selected reproductive genes was analysed to decipher the effect of nanopeptides at the molecular level. Nonapeptide treatment either naked or nanoconjugated, resulted in the upregulation of the transcript level of genes. Histological analysis revealed the concentration of spermatozoa was more in peptide injected groups than in the controls. The synergistic effects of nonapeptides and Ovatide had a positive impact on GSI. Thus, the present formulations were successful in stripping the male catfish to obtain the milt with significant reproductive success. Even though the naked groups perform better but the number of males required to fertilize the eggs in nanoconjuagted groups was smaller making it worth using for the delivery of nonapeptides.

Abstract
Currently, many new treatment strategies are being used for the management of cancer. Among them, chemotherapy based on peptides has been of great interest due to the unique features of peptides. This review discusses the role of peptide and peptides analogues in the treatment of cancer, with special emphasis on their pharmacokinetic modulation and research progress. Low molecular weight, targeted drug delivery, enhanced permeability, etc., of the peptide-linked drug conjugates, lead to an increase in the effectiveness of cancer therapy. Various peptides have recently been developed as drugs and vaccines with an altered pharmacokinetic parameter which has subsequently been assessed in different phases of the clinical study. Peptides have made a great impact in the area of cancer therapy and diagnosis. Targeted chemotherapy and drug delivery techniques using peptides are emerging as excellent tools in minimizing problems with conventional chemotherapy. It can be concluded that new advances in using peptides to treat different types of cancer have been shown by different clinical studies indicating that peptides could be used as an ideal therapeutic method in treating cancer due to the novel advantages of peptides. The development of identifying and synthesizing novel peptides could provide a promising choice to patients with cancer.

Abstract
Novel hybrid materials of the PB-b-P(o-Bn-L-Tyr) and PI-b-P(o-Bn-L-Tyr) type (where PB: 1,4/1,2-poly(butadiene), PI: 3,4/1,2/1,4-poly(isoprene) and P(o-Bn-L-Tyr): poly(ortho-benzyl-L-tyrosine)) were synthesized through anionic and ring-opening polymerization under high-vacuum techniques. All final materials were molecularly characterized through infrared spectroscopy (IR) and proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) in order to confirm the successful synthesis and the polydiene microstructure content. The stereochemical behavior of secondary structures (α-helices and β-sheets) of the polypeptide segments combined with the different polydiene microstructures was also studied. The influence of the α-helices and β-sheets, as well as the polydiene chain conformations on the thermal properties (glass transition temperatures, thermal stability, α- and β-relaxation) of the present biobased hybrid copolymers, was investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dielectric spectroscopy (DS). The obtained morphologies in thin films for all the synthesized materials via atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicated the formation of polypeptide fibrils in the polydiene matrix.

Abstract
Graft copolymers consisting of two different zwitterionic blocks were synthesized via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. These polymers showed dual properties of thermo- and pH-responsiveness in an aqueous solution. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering were employed to study the phase behavior under varying temperatures and pH values. Unlike the phase transition temperatures of other graft copolymers containing nonionic blocks, the phase transition temperature of these polymers was easily tuned by changing the polymer concentration. Owing to the biocompatible and stimuli-responsive nature of the polymers, this system was shown to effectively release proteins (lysozyme) while simultaneously protecting them against denaturation. The positively charged lysozyme was shown to bind with the negatively charged polymer at the physiological pH (pH 7.4). However, it was subsequently released at pH 3, at which the polymer exhibits a positive charge. Protein aggregation studies using a residual enzymatic activity assay, circular dichroism, and a Thioflavin T assay revealed that the secondary structure of the lysozyme was retained even after harsh thermal treatment. The addition of these polymers helped the lysozyme retain its enzymatic activity and suppressed its fibrillation. Both polymers showed excellent protein protection properties, with the negatively charged polymer exhibiting slightly superior protein protection properties to those of the neutral polymer. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to develop a graft copolymer system consisting of two different zwitterionic blocks that shows dual thermo- and pH-responsive properties. The presence of the polyampholyte structure enables these polymers to act as protein release agents, while simultaneously protecting the proteins from severe stress.

Abstract
The interaction between proteins and polymers in solution contributes to numerous important technological processes, including protein crystallization, biofouling, and the self-assembly of protein-polymer bioconjugates. To quantify these interactions, three different polymers-PNIPAM, POEGA, and PDMAPS-were each blended with a model protein mCherry and studied using contrast variation small angle neutron scattering (SANS). This technique allows for the decomposition of the SANS scattering intensity into partial structure factors corresponding to interactions between two polymer chains, interactions between two proteins, and interactions between a polymer chain and a protein, even for concentrations above the overlap concentration. Examining correlations between each component offers insight into the interactions within the system. In particular, mCherry-PNIPAM interactions are consistent with a depletion interaction, and mCherry-POEGA interactions suggest a considerable region of polymer enrichment close to the protein surface, indicative of attractive forces between the two. Interactions between mCherry and PDMAPS are more complex, with possible contributions from both depletion forces and electrostatic forces.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers are an efficient means of targeted therapy. Compared to conventional agents, they increase bioavailability and efficacy. In particular, polymer hydrogel nanoparticles (NPs) can be designed to respond when exposed to a specific environmental stimulus such as pH or temperature. However, targeting a specific metabolite as the trigger for stimuli response could further elevate selectivity and create a new class of bioresponsive materials. In this work we describe an N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) NP that responds to a specific metabolite, characteristic of a hypoxic environment found in cancerous tumors. NIPAm NPs were synthesized by copolymerization with an oxamate derivative, a known inhibitor of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The oxamate-functionalized NPs (OxNP) efficiently sequestered LDH to produce an OxNP-protein complex. When exposed to elevated concentrations of lactic acid, a substrate of LDH and a metabolite characteristic of hypoxic tumor microenvironments, OxNP-LDH complexes swelled (65%). The OxNP-LDH complexes were not responsive to structurally related small molecules. This work demonstrates a proof of concept for tuning NP responsiveness by conjugation with a key protein to target a specific metabolite of disease.

[PMID: 30991133 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2019.04.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2019] [Revised: 04/08/2019] [Accepted: 04/12/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of different chain length fatty acids on physicochemical properties and cancer targeting of fattigation-platform nanoparticles (NPs). Two different types of fatty acids (short chain, 2-hydroxybutyric acid, C4; long chain, oleic acid, C18:1) were successfully conjugated to human serum albumin (HSA) via simple 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) coupling reaction. These conjugates readily formed HSA-C4 and HSA-C18:1 NPs which showed good stability in serum and desirable biocompatibility with normal cell line (HEK293T). Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was efficiently loaded into NPs by incubation process via electrostatic interaction. The structure, morphology, and texture of DOX-loaded NPs were characterized by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The initial burst release of DOX-loaded NPs was controlled by the presence and chain length of fatty acids. In vitro cytotoxicity studies with three cancer cell lines (A549, HT-29, and PANC-1) suggested that fattigation-platform NPs have distinctive cytotoxic effects compared to Doxil®. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry exhibited that the cellular uptake of DOX-loaded NPs was varied by the different chain lengths of fatty acids. It was evident that the chain length of fatty acids in the fattigation-platform NPs could play a vital role in varying physicochemical properties and cancer cell targeting of NPs.

Abstract
The study was undertaken to explore the molecular mechanism of eurycomanone, a major compound of Eurycoma longifolia plant in increasing the reproductive processes in the male fish model. Chitosan-nanoconjugated eurycomanone nanoparticles with a significant particle size [130 nm (CED1); 144.1 nm (CED2)] and stable zeta potentials (+49.1 mV and +30 mV) were synthesized and evaluated against naked eurycomanone (ED1 and ED2). In present study, short-term and long-term experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of nano-formulation on expression of endocrine-related genes, circulating hormone concentrations (Follicle stimulating hormone, FSH; luteinizing hormone, LH; progesterone, testosterone and 17-β estradiol) and reproductive capacity of male Clarias magur. In short-term experiment, the sampling of tissues was done on hourly basis after injection of eurycomanone either alone or with chitosan and long-term experiment was carried for 21 days and in this the injection was repeated after 7 days and 14 days. Treatments CED1 and CED2 showed controlled and sustained surge of the transcript level of selected genes (except aromatase) and serum hormones (except 17β-estradiol) compared to ED1 and ED2 groups. The transcript levels of aromatase and serum 17β-estradiol hormone showed the declining trend in the chitosan conjugated groups. The gonadosomatic index (GSI), reproductive capacity, intracellular calcium and selenium and cellular structure of testes were improved in CED1 and CED2 groups compared to other treatments. Furthermore, the effect of chitosan conjugated eurycomanone was evaluated in primary testicular cells and an increase in the mRNA expression level of endocrine-related genes was detected. This is the first report of the use of chitosan conjugated eurycomanone and present study elucidates the molecular mechanism of eurycomanone in increasing the reproductive output in animals.

Abstract
This review article highlights recent developments in the field of photochemistry and photochemical reversible deactivation radical polymerization applied to aqueous polymerizations. Photochemistry is a topic of significant interest in the fields of organic, polymer, and materials chemistry because it allows challenging reactions to be performed under mild conditions. Aqueous polymerization is of significant interest because water is an environmentally benign solvent, and the use of water enables complex polymer self-assembly and bioconjugation processes to occur. This review focuses on powerful new developments in photochemical aqueous polymerization reactions and their applications to the synthesis of well-defined polymer nano-objects and bioconjugates. It is anticipated that these aqueous photopolymerizations will enable the next generation of self-assembled structures and biohybrid materials to be developed under mild and environmentally friendly conditions.

In this feature article, recent progress achieved in the synthesis of polymer-protein conjugates, protein-nanoparticle core-shell structures, and polymer-protein nanogels/hydrogels is briefly reviewed. The polymer-protein conjugates can be synthesized by the "grafting-to" or the "grafting-from" approach. In this article, different coupling reactions and polymerization methods used in the synthesis of bioconjugates are reviewed. Protein molecules can be immobilized on the surfaces of nanoparticles by covalent or noncovalent linkages. The specific interactions and chemical reactions employed in the synthesis of core-shell structures are discussed. Finally, a general introduction to the synthesis of environmentally responsive polymer-protein nanogels/hydrogels by chemical cross-linking reactions or molecular recognition is provided.

Abstract
The encapsulation of sensitive drugs into nanocarriers retaining their bioactivity and achieving selective release is a challenging topic in current drug delivery design. Established protocols rely on metal-catalyzed or unspecific reactions to build the (mostly synthetic) vehicles which may inhibit the drug's function. Triggered by light, the mild tetrazole-ene cycloaddition enables us to prepare protein nanocarriers (PNCs) preserving at the same time the bioactivity of the sensitive antitumor and antiviral cargo Resiquimod (R848). This catalyst-free reaction was designed to take place at the interface of aqueous nanodroplets in miniemulsion to produce core-shell PNCs with over 90% encapsulation efficiency and no unwanted drug release over storage for several months. Albumins used herein are major constituents of blood and thus ideal biodegradable natural polymers for the production of such nanocarriers. These protein carriers were taken up by dendritic cells and the intracellular drug release by enzymatic degradation of the protein shell material was proven. Together with the thorough colloidal analysis of the PNCs, their stability in human blood plasma and the detailed protein corona composition, these results underline the high potential of such naturally derived drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Biosafety is the primary concern in clinical translation of nanomedicine. As an intrinsic ingredient of human blood without immunogenicity and encouraged by its successful clinical application in Abraxane, albumin has been regarded as a promising material to produce nanoparticles for bioimaging and drug delivery. The strategies for synthesizing albumin-based nanoparticles could be generally categorized into five classes: template, nanocarrier, scaffold, stabilizer and albumin-polymer conjugate. This review introduces approaches utilizing albumin in the preparation of nanoparticles and thereby provides scientists with knowledge of goal-driven design on albumin-based nanomedicine.

Abstract
Protein-based nanoparticles with tailored properties by using different functional proteins as building blocks have many actual and potential applications in biomedicine, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. In this study, we demonstrated a facile and efficient way to synthesize protein-based nanoparticles by taking advantage of photoinitiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization-induced self-assembly by using multi-RAFT modified bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a macro-RAFT agent. The growth of the PHPMA chains results in the increase of the hydrophobicity of the star BSA-PHPMA conjugates, and when reaching the critical aggregation concentration in aqueous solution, they will aggregate into nanoparticles via the hydrophobic interaction of PHPMA. The generated nanoparticles also showed excellent encapsulation ability toward both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components, and as a proof of concept, after loading cancer drug DOX or biomacromolecule DNA, the protease-mediated release of the encapsulants was demonstrated. It is anticipated that the described method may open up new opportunities for designing a variety of protein-polymer self-assembled nanostructures tailored to specific applications.

Abstract
The last twenty years have witnessed great advances in biology, medicine, and materials science, leading to the development of various nanoparticle (NP)-mediated drug delivery systems. Innovation in materials science has led the generation of biodegradable, biocompatible, stimuli-responsive, and targeted delivery systems. However, currently available nanotherapeutic technologies are not efficient, which has culminated in the failure of their clinical trials. Despite huge efforts devoted to drug delivery nanotherapeutics, only a small amount of the injected material could reach the desired target. One promising strategy to enhance the efficiency of NP drug delivery is to hybridize multiple materials, where each component could play a critical role in an efficient multipurpose delivery system. This review aims to comprehensively cover different techniques, materials, advantages, and drawbacks of various systems to develop hybrid nano-vesicles for drug delivery. Attention is finally given to the hybridization benefits in overcoming the biological barriers for drug delivery. It is believed that the advent of modern nano-formulations for multifunctional hybrid carriers paves the way for future advances to achieve more efficient drug delivery systems.

Abstract
A thermoresponsive polymer-protein biodynamer was prepared via the bioconjugation of an aliphatic aldehyde-functionalized copolymer to hydrazine-modified bovine serum albumin (BSA) through reversible pyridylhydrazone linkages. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) results indicated that the pyridylhydrazone linkages cleaved in an intracellular-mimicking acidic milieu, thus leading to the release of BSA. The dynamic character of the protein biodynamer was demonstrated by exchange reactions with aldehyde-containing molecules. The biodynamer self-assembled into spherical micelles at a temperature above its lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Subsequently, BSA molecules within the hydrophilic coronae of the micelles were readily cross-linked via reaction with cystamine at 45°C, and multi-stimuli-responsive nanoparticles were generated. The biohybrid nanoparticles reversibly swelled and shrank as the cores of the nanoparticles were solvated below the LCST and desolvated above the LCST. The accessible reversibility of the pyridylhydrazone bonds imparts pH-responsive and dynamic characteristics to the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles displayed glutathione (GSH) responsiveness, and the synergistic effects of pH and GSH resulted in complete disintegration of the nanoparticles under the intracellular-mimicking acidic and reductive conditions. The nanoparticles were also enzyme-responsive and disintegrated rapidly in the presence of protease. In vitro cytotoxicity and cell uptake assays demonstrated that the nanoparticles were highly biocompatible and effectively internalized by HepG2 cells, which make them interesting candidates as vehicles for drug delivery application and biomimetic platforms to investigate the biological process in nature. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT In this research, we report the synthesis of a temperature and pH dual-responsive polymer-protein biodynamer through reversible pyridylhydrazone formation. The prepared biodynamer can offer a potential platform for intracellular protein delivery. The multi-stimuli-responsive biohybrid nanoparticles containing disulfide functionalities are constructed by cross-linking albumin coronae of the biodynamer micelles. With the combination of a thermoresponsive polymer, protein and reversible covalent bonds, the biohybrid nanoparticles are endowed with highly biocompatible, environmentally responsive and adaptive features. These nanoparticles present the ability to undergo changes in their constitution, hydrodynamic size and nanostructure in response to physical, chemical and biological stimuli, which make them interesting candidates as vehicles for drug delivery application and a biomimetic platform to investigate the biological process in nature.

Abstract
This paper challenges the production of the protein nanoparticles using the conjugation of Ni2+ complexed nitrilotriacetic acid end-functionalized polystyrene (Ni-NTA-PS) and histidine tagged GFP (His-GFP) hybrid. The microfluidic synthesis of the protein nanoparticle with the advantages of a uniform size, a fast reaction, and a precise control of preparation conditions is examined. The self-assembly occurs on the interfacial surface of the multi-laminated laminar flow stably formed in the microchannel. The clogging of the produced protein nanoparticles on the channel surface is solved by adding a retarding inlet channel. The size and shape of the produced protein nanoparticles are measured by the analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, and the attachment of the protein is visualized with a green fluorescent image. Future research includes the encapsulation of vaccines and the coating of antigens on the protein surface.

Abstract
The use of biomaterials composed of organic pristine components has been successfully described in several purposes, such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. Drug delivery systems (DDS) have shown several advantages over traditional drug therapy, such as greater therapeutic efficacy, prolonged delivery profile, and reduced drug toxicity, as evidenced by in vitro and in vivo studies as well as clinical trials. Despite that, there is no perfect delivery carrier, and issues such as undesirable viscosity and physicochemical stability or inability to efficiently encapsulate hydrophilic/hydrophobic molecules still persist, limiting DDS applications. To overcome that, biohybrid systems, originating from the synergistic assembly of polymers and other organic materials such as proteins and lipids, have recently been described, yielding molecularly planned biohybrid systems that are able to optimize structures to easily interact with the targets. This work revised the biohybrid DDS clarifying their advantages, limitations, and future perspectives in an attempt to contribute to further research of innovative and safe biohybrid polymer-based system as biomaterials for the sustained release of active molecules.

Abstract
Kisspeptin, a member of the RF-amide-related peptide family, has emerged recently as an essential gatekeeper of various reproductive processes via its ability to activate kisspeptin receptors at puberty. In this study, the kiss1 gene and its receptor kiss1rb were cloned and characterized from the brain of Catla catla. Further, the effects of kissppetin-10 (K-10) and chitosan-encapsulated K-10 nanoparticles (CK-10) on gene expression were assessed. The full-length complementary DNA sequence of kiss1 is 754 bp with an open reading frame of 351 bp that encodes a putative protein of 116 amino acids. The kiss1rb complementary DNA is 1,280 bp long and contains a 5'-untranslated region of 30 bp, 3'-untranslated region of 149 bp, and an open reading frame (open reading frame) of 1,101 bp. The expression patterns of kiss1 and kiss1rb messenger RNA (mRNA) in basal tissues revealed that they are mainly expressed in the brain, pituitary gland, and gonads. CK-10 nanoparticles with a particle size of 125 nm and a zeta potential of 36.45 mV were synthesized and compared with K-10. Chitosan nanoparticles showed 60% entrapment efficiency for K-10. The mRNA expression of reproductive genes (GnRH, LH, and FSH) in fish injected with K-10 declined after 6 h, whereas those injected with CK-10 showed controlled and a sustained surge of mRNA expression of these genes with a peak at 12 h. Histologic examination of ovaries indicated a pronounced effect of CK-10 on maturation and gonadal development. The study reports that this sustained release delivery system will help in increasing the half-life of K-10 and other therapeutic protein drugs in the biological system. Besides, the nanoformulation developed in the present study may be useful for developing therapies against various reproductive dysfunctions in vertebrates.

Abstract
An antithrombotic nanoconjugate was designed in which a designed biomimetic peptide LWWNSYY was immobilized to the surface of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) nanoparticles (PGMA NPs). Our previous work has demonstrated LWWNSYY to be an effective inhibitor of integrin α2β1-collagen interaction and subsequent thrombus formation, however its practical application suffered from the formation of clusters in physiological environment caused by its high hydrophobicity. In our present study, the obtained LWWNSYY-PGMA nanoparticles (L-PGMA NPs) conjugate, with an improved dispersibility of LWWNSYY by PGMA NPs, have shown binding to collagen receptors with a Kd of 3.45 ± 1.06 μM. L-PGMA NPs have also proven capable of inhibiting platelet adhesion in vitro with a reduced IC50 of 1.83 ± 0.29 μg/mL. High inhibition efficiency of L-PGMA NPs in thrombus formation was further confirmed in vivo with a 50% reduction of thrombus weight. Therefore, L-PGMA NPs were developed as a high-efficiency antithrombotic nanomedicine targeted for collagen exposed on diseased blood vessel wall.

Abstract
In recent years, an emerging research area has been the surfactant behavior of polymer-tethered nanoparticles. In this feature article, we have provided a general introduction to the synthesis, self-assembly, and interfacial activity of polymer-tethered inorganic nanoparticles, polymer-tethered organic nanoparticles, and polymer-tethered natural nanoparticles. In addition, applications of the polymer-tethered nanoparticles in colloidal and materials science are briefly reviewed. All research demonstrates that amphiphilic polymer-tethered nanoparticles exhibit surfactant behavior and can be used as elemental building blocks for the fabrication of advanced structures by the self-assembly approach. The polymer-tethered nanoparticles provide new opportunities to engineer materials and biomaterials possessing specific functionality and physical properties.

Abstract
Transcription factor Sox9 plays a crucial role in determining the fate of several cell types and is a primary factor in regulation of gonadal development. Present study reports full-length cDNA sequence of Sox9a gene and partial coding sequence (cds) of Sox9b (two duplicate orthologs of Sox9 gene) from Clarias batrachus. The coding region of Sox9a gene encoded a peptide of 460 amino acids. The partial cds of Sox9b with the length of 558bp was amplified that codes for 186 amino acids. Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that Sox9a and Sox9b mRNA expression was significantly higher in gonads and brain tissues. Furthermore Sox9a and Sox9b mRNA expression levels were high during preparatory and pre-spawning phases and decreased gradually with onset of spawning and post-spawning phases of reproductive cycles in gonads. Chitosan nanoconjugated sLHRH (CsLHRH) of particle size 133.0nm and zeta potential of 34.3mV were synthesized and evaluated against naked sLHRH (salmon luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone). The entrapment efficiency of CsLHRH was 63%. CsLHRH nanoparticles increased the expression level of Sox9 transcripts in gonads and steroid hormonal levels in blood of male and female. Thus, our findings clearly indicate that Sox9 genes play essential role during seasonal variation of gonads. Besides, the current study reports that sustained release delivery-system will be helpful for proper gonadal development of fish. To the best of our knowledge, till date no study has been reported on nanodelivery of sLHRH and their effect on reproductive gene expression in fish.

Abstract
Nano-based drug delivery devices allowing for effective and sustained targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to solid tumors have revolutionized cancer treatment. As an emerging biomedical technique, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), an ionized non-thermal gas mixture composed of various reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and UV photons, shows great potential for cancer treatment. Here we seek to develop a new dual cancer therapeutic method by integrating promising CAP and novel drug loaded core-shell nanoparticles and evaluate its underlying mechanism for targeted breast cancer treatment. For this purpose, core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized via co-axial electrospraying. Biocompatible poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) was selected as the polymer shell to encapsulate anti-cancer therapeutics. Results demonstrated uniform size distribution and high drug encapsulation efficacy of the electrosprayed nanoparticles. Cell studies demonstrated the effectiveness of drug loaded nanoparticles and CAP for synergistic inhibition of breast cancer cell growth when compared to each treatment separately. Importantly, we found CAP induced down-regulation of metastasis related gene expression (VEGF, MTDH, MMP9, and MMP2) as well as facilitated drug loaded nanoparticle uptake which may aid in minimizing drug resistance-a major problem in chemotherapy. Thus, the integration of CAP and drug encapsulated nanoparticles provides a promising tool for the development of a new cancer treatment strategy.
