Abstract
Active components of natural products, which include paclitaxel, curcumin, gambogic acid, resveratrol, triptolide and celastrol, have promising anti-inflammatory, antitumor, anti-oxidant, and other pharmacological activities. However, their clinical application is limited due to low solubility, instability, low bioavailability, rapid metabolism, short half-life, and strong off-target toxicity. To overcome these drawbacks, cell membrane-based biomimetic nanosystems have emerged that avoid clearance by the immune system, enhance targeting, and prolong drug circulation, while also improving drug solubility and bioavailability, enhancing drug efficacy, and reducing side effects. This review summarizes recent advances in the preparation and coating of cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanosystems and in their applications to disease for targeted natural products delivery. Current challenges, limitations, and prospects in this field are also discussed, providing a research basis for the development of multifunctional biomimetic nanosystems for natural products.

Abstract
The development of vaccines has had a crucial role in preventing and controlling infectious diseases on a global scale. Innovative formulations of biomimetic vaccines inspired by natural defense mechanisms combine long-term antigen stability, immunogenicity, and targeted delivery with sustained release. Types of biomimetic nanoparticle (NP) include bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), cell membrane-decorated NPs, liposomes, and exosomes. These approaches have shown potential for cancer immunotherapy, and in antibacterial and antiviral applications. Despite current challenges, nanovaccines have immense potential to transform disease prevention and treatment, promising therapeutic approaches for the future. In this review, we highlight recent advances in biomimetic vaccine design, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications, emphasizing their role in personalized medicine, targeted drug delivery, and immunomodulation.

Abstract
Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in the circulation and act as the first line of defense against infections. Increasing evidence suggests that neutrophils possess heterogeneous phenotypes and functional plasticity in human health and diseases, including cancer. Neutrophils play multifaceted roles in cancer development and progression, and an N1/N2 paradigm of neutrophils in cancer is proposed, where N1 neutrophils exert anti-tumor properties while N2 neutrophils display tumor-supportive and immune-suppressive functions. Selective activation of beneficial neutrophil population and targeted inhibition or re-polarization of tumor-promoting neutrophils has shown an important potential in tumor therapy. In addition, due to the natural inflammation-responsive and physical barrier-crossing abilities, neutrophils and their derivatives (membranes and extracellular vesicles (EVs)) are regarded as advanced drug delivery carriers for enhanced tumor targeting and improved therapeutic efficacy. In this review, the recent advances in engineering neutrophils for drug delivery and targeting neutrophils for remodeling tumor microenvironment (TME) are comprehensively presented. This review will provide a broad understanding of the potential of neutrophils in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Brain infections, frequently accompanied by significant inflammation, necessitate comprehensive therapeutic approaches targeting both infections and associated inflammation. A major impediment to such combined treatment is the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which significantly restricts therapeutic agents from achieving effective concentrations within the central nervous system. Here, a neutrophil-centric dual-responsive delivery system, coined "CellUs," is pioneered. This system is characterized by live neutrophils enveloping liposomes of dexamethasone, ceftriaxone, and oxygen-saturated perfluorocarbon (Lipo@D/C/P). CellUs is meticulously engineered to co-deliver antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, and oxygen, embodying a comprehensive strategy against brain infections. CellUs leverages the intrinsic abilities of neutrophils to navigate through BBB, accurately target infection sites, and synchronize the release of Lipo@D/C/P with local inflammatory signals. Notably, the incorporation of ultrasound-responsive perfluorocarbon within Lipo@D/C/P ensures the on-demand release of therapeutic agents at the afflicted regions. CellUs shows considerable promise in treating Staphylococcus aureus infections in mice with meningitis, particularly when combined with ultrasound treatments. It effectively penetrates BBB, significantly eliminates bacteria, reduces inflammation, and delivers oxygen to the affected brain tissue, resulting in a substantial improvement in survival rates. Consequently, CellUs harnesses the natural chemotactic properties of neutrophils and offers an innovative pathway to improve treatment effectiveness while minimizing adverse effects.

Abstract
Neutrophils are the primary host innate immune cells defending against pathogens. One proposed mechanism by which neutrophils limit pathogen transmission is NETosis, which includes releasing the nuclear content into the cytosol by forming pores in the plasma membrane. The extrusion of cellular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) results in neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) composed of nuclear DNA associated with histones and granule proteins. NETosis is driven by the enzyme PAD-4 (Peptidylarginine deiminase-4), which converts arginine into citrulline, leading to decondensation of chromatin, separation of DNA, and eventual extrusion. DNase is responsible for the breakdown of NETs. On the one hand, the release of DNase may interfere with the antibacterial effects of NETs; further, DNase may protect tissues from self-destruction caused by the increased release of NET under septic conditions. NETs in physiological quantities are expected to have a role in anti-infectious innate immune responses. In contrast, abnormally high concentrations of NETs in the body that are not adequately cleared by DNases can damage tissues and cause inflammation. Through several novel approaches, it is now possible to avoid the adverse effects caused by the continued release of NETs into the extracellular environment. In this review we have highlighted the basic mechanisms of NETosis, its significance in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory disorders, and the role of DNase enzyme with a focus on the possible function of nanotechnology in its management.

Abstract
Surgical resection of glioblastoma (GBM) causes brain inflammation that activates and recruits neutrophils (NEs) to residual GBM tissues. NE-based drug delivery using inflammatory chemotaxis is promising for the post-surgical treatment of residual GBM, but its clinical application is limited by the short life span of NEs and lack of in vitro propagation methods. HL60 cells are a type of infinitely multiplying tumor cells that can be induced to differentiate into NE-like cells. We developed a novel NE-like membrane system (NM-PD) by coating NE-like membranes on the surface of poly (lactide-co-glycolide)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG)-based doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded core (PLGA-PEG-DOX, PD) for post-surgical residual GBM treatment. Cell adhesion proteins were detected on NE-like membranes and endowed NM-PDs with inflammatory chemotaxis similar to mature NEs. The resulting NM-PD shows excellent inflamed in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and anti-proliferative effects on GBM cells. In our intracranial GBM resection model, NM-PD exhibited superior inflammatory chemotaxis and targeted residual GBM cells, thus remarkably improving antitumor capability and prolonging the survival time of the mice. These data suggest that NM-PD, which has sufficient sources and is easy to prepare, can efficiently suppress post-surgical residual GBM and holds potential for clinical transformation in GBM post-surgical adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Cell-based drug delivery systems are new strategies in targeted delivery in which cells or cell-membrane-derived systems are used as carriers and release their cargo in a controlled manner. Recently, great attention has been directed to cells as carrier systems for treating several diseases. There are various challenges in the development of cell-based drug delivery systems. The prediction of the properties of these platforms is a prerequisite step in their development to reduce undesirable effects. Integrating nanotechnology and artificial intelligence leads to more innovative technologies. Artificial intelligence quickly mines data and makes decisions more quickly and accurately. Machine learning as a subset of the broader artificial intelligence has been used in nanomedicine to design safer nanomaterials. Here, how challenges of developing cell-based drug delivery systems can be solved with potential predictive models of artificial intelligence and machine learning is portrayed. The most famous cell-based drug delivery systems and their challenges are described. Last but not least, artificial intelligence and most of its types used in nanomedicine are highlighted. The present Review has shown the challenges of developing cells or their derivatives as carriers and how they can be used with potential predictive models of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Abstract
Neutrophils are important immune cells act as the body's first line of defense against infection and respond to diverse inflammatory cues. Many studies have demonstrated that neutrophils display plasticity in inflammatory diseases and cancers. Clarifying the role of neutrophil heterogeneity in inflammatory diseases and cancers will contribute to the development of novel treatment strategies. In this review, we have presented a review on the development of the understanding on neutrophil heterogeneity from the traditional perspective and a high-resolution viewpoint. A growing body of evidence has confirmed the double-edged role of neutrophils in inflammatory diseases and tumors. This may be due to a lack of precise understanding of the role of specific neutrophil subsets in the disease. Thus, elucidating specific neutrophil subsets involved in diseases would benefit the development of precision medicine. Thusly, we have summarized the relevance and actions of neutrophil heterogeneity in inflammatory diseases and cancers comprehensively. Meanwhile, we also discussed the potential intervention strategy for neutrophils. This review is intended to deepen our understanding of neutrophil heterogeneity in inflammatory diseases and cancers, while hold promise for precise treatment of neutrophil-related diseases.

Abstract
As the most abundant white blood cells in humans, neutrophils play a key role in acute and chronic inflammation, suggesting that these cells are a key component of targeted therapies for various inflammation-related diseases. Specific enzyme-responsive or specific ligand-modified polymer nanoparticles are beneficial for improving drug efficacy, reducing toxicity, and enhancing focal site retention. However, there remain significant challenges in biomedical applications of these synthetic polymer nanoparticles, mainly due to their rapid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system. In recent years, biomimetic drug delivery systems such as neutrophils acting directly as drug carriers or neutrophil-membrane-coated nanoparticles have received increasing attention due to the natural advantages of neutrophils. Thus, neutrophil-targeted, neutrophil-assisted, or neutrophil-coated nanoparticles exhibit a prolonged blood circulation time and improved accumulation at the site of inflammation. Despite recent advancements, further clinical research must be performed to evaluate neutrophil-based delivery systems for future biomedical application in the diagnosis and treatment of related inflammatory diseases. In this review, we have summarized new exciting developments and challenges in neutrophil-mediated drug delivery strategies for treating inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles have emerged as a delivery carrier for tumor drug therapy, which can improve the therapeutic effect by increasing the stability and solubility and prolonging the half-life of drugs. However, nanoparticles are foreign substances for humans, are easily cleared by the immune system, are less targeted to tumors, and may even be toxic to the body. As a natural biological material, cell membranes have unique biological properties, such as good biocompatibility, strong targeting ability, the ability to evade immune surveillance, and high drug-carrying capacity. In this article, we review cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMNPs) and their applications to tumor therapy. First, we briefly describe CMNP characteristics and applications. Second, we present the characteristics and advantages of different cell membranes as well as nanoparticles, provide a brief description of the process of CMNPs, discuss the current status of their application to tumor therapy, summarize their shortcomings for use in cancer therapy, and propose future research directions. This review summarizes the research progress on CMNPs in cancer therapy in recent years and assesses remaining problems, providing scholars with new ideas for future research on CMNPs in tumor therapy.

Diagnostic and Predictive Value of Novel Inflammatory Markers of the Severity of Acute Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Retrospective Study. World Neurosurg 2023; 171:e349-e354. [PMID: 36509325 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.12.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In order to assess the relationships between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, and systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) and the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade in patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). METHODS We retrospectively investigated 526 patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between January 2012 and December 2021, and for whom routine blood tests were performed within 8 hours of injury. To assess the degree of impairment in TSCI patients using the American Spinal Cord Injury Association Impairment Scale. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to AIS grade as follows: patients with an AIS grade of A-B (severe and critical TSCI, respectively) were distinguished from those with an AIS grade of C-E (minimal, mild, and moderate TSCI, respectively). The association between unfavorable outcomes and each indicator was examined separately through univariate logistic regression analysis. Correlations between variables and AIS grades were analyzed by Spearman's correlation test. The discriminative ability of predictive models was evaluated using the area under the curve. RESULTS The NLR, PLR, and SII were elevated in patients with spinal cord injury and exceeded the reference values in 95% of cases. The AIS grades were inversely correlated with the NLR, PLR, and SII. In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis performed to confirm the utility of the NLR, PLR, and SII for predicting the AIS grade, the area under the curve values were 0.710 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.666-0.755), 0.603 (95% CI, 0.554-0.651) and 0.638 (95% CI, 0.591-0.685), respectively. The optimal cut-off value for the NLR was 0.361 (sensitivity = 0.79, specificity = 0.57). CONCLUSIONS The analysis of changes in NLR, PLR, and SII as indicators of the novel systemic inflammatory can be an important complement to traditional methods for the assessment of severity and prognosis and the possible selection of patients for close monitoring. And, NLR showed higher diagnostic performance than PLR and SII.

Peptide-anchored neutrophil membrane-coated biomimetic nanodrug for targeted treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:13.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization determines the production of cytokines that fuel the initiation and evolution of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thus, modulation of macrophage polarization might represent a potential therapeutic strategy for RA. However, coordinated modulation of macrophages in the synovium and synovial fluid has not been achieved thus far. Herein, we develop a biomimetic ApoA-I mimetic peptide-modified neutrophil membrane-wrapped F127 polymer (R4F-NM@F127) for targeted drug delivery during RA treatment. Due to the high expression of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors on neutrophils, the neutrophil membrane coating can endow the nanocarrier with synovitis-targeting ability, with subsequent recruitment to the synovial fluid under the chemotactic effects of IL-8. Moreover, R4F peptide modification further endows the nanocarrier with the ability to target the SR-B1 receptor, which is highly expressed on macrophages in the synovium and synovial fluid. Long-term in vivo imaging shows that R4F-NM@F127 preferentially accumulates in inflamed joints and is engulfed by macrophages. After loading of the anti-inflammatory drug celastrol (Cel), R4F-NM@F127-Cel shows a significant reduction in hepatotoxicity, and effectively inhibits synovial inflammation and alleviates joint damage by reprogramming macrophage polarization. Thus, our results highlight the potential of the coordinated targeted modulation of macrophages as a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Glioma is often referred to as one of the most dreadful central nervous system (CNS)-specific tumors with rapidly-proliferating cancerous glial cells, accounting for nearly half of the brain tumors at an annual incidence rate of 30-80 per a million population. Although glioma treatment remains a significant challenge for researchers and clinicians, the rapid development of nanomedicine provides tremendous opportunities for long-term glioma therapy. However, several obstacles impede the development of novel therapeutics, such as the very tight blood-brain barrier (BBB), undesirable hypoxia, and complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Several efforts have been dedicated to exploring various nanoformulations for improving BBB permeation and precise tumor ablation to address these challenges. Initially, this article briefly introduces glioma classification and various pathogenic factors. Further, currently available therapeutic approaches are illustrated in detail, including traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical practices. Then, different innovative treatment strategies, such as tumor-treating fields, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and phototherapy, are emphasized. In conclusion, we summarize the article with interesting perspectives, providing suggestions for future glioma diagnosis and therapy improvement.

Abstract
Background The correlation between high white blood cell (WBC) count and poor prognosis has been identified in various types of cancer; however, the clinical significance and immune context of WBC count in colorectal cancer remains unclear. Methods Between February 2009 and November 2014, 7,433 patients at the Shanghai Cancer Center who had undergone elective surgery for colorectal cancer were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into two groups: low and high preoperative WBC groups. Propensity score matching was used to address the differences in baseline characteristics. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to identify independent prognostic factors in colorectal cancer patients. Tumor-infiltrating immune cells in the high and low preoperative WBC groups were compared using immunohistochemical staining. Results Of the 7,433 patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery and were available for analysis, 5,750 were included in the low preoperative WBC group, and 1,683 were included in the high preoperative WBC group. After propensity score matching, 1,553 patients were included in each group. Kaplan–Meier survival curves showed that a high preoperative WBC count was associated with a decreased overall survival (P = 0.002) and disease-free survival (P = 0.003), and that preoperative WBC count was an independent risk factor for overall survival (hazard ratio, 1.234; 95% confidence interval, 1.068–1.426; P = 0.004) and disease-free survival (hazard ratio, 1.210; 95% confidence interval, 1.047–1.397, P = 0.01). Compared to the low preoperative WBC group, the high preoperative WBC group exhibited higher expression of regulatory T cells (P = 0.0034), CD68+ macrophages (P = 0.0071), and CD66b+ neutrophils (P = 0.0041); increased expression of programmed cell death protein 1 (P = 0.005) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (P = 0.0019); and lower expression of CD8+ T cells (P = 0.0057) in colorectal cancer patients. Conclusions Our research indicates that a high preoperative WBC count is a prognostic indicator in colorectal cancer patients and is associated with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which could aid in future risk stratification.

Abstract
As the first line of host defense against invading pathogens, neutrophils have an inherent phagocytosis capability for the elimination of foreign agents and target loading upon activation, as well as the ability to transmigrate across blood vessels to the infected tissue, making them natural candidates to execute various medical tasks in vivo. However, most of the existing neutrophil-based strategies rely on their spontaneous chemotactic motion, lacking in effective activation, rapid migration, and high navigation precision. Here, we report an optically manipulated neutrophil microcraft in vivo through the organic integration of endogenous neutrophils and scanning optical tweezers, functioning as a native biological material and wireless remote controller, respectively. The neutrophil microcrafts can be remotely activated by light and then navigated to the target position along a designated route, followed by the fulfillment of its task in vivo, such as active intercellular connection, targeted delivery of nanomedicine, and precise elimination of cell debris, free from the extra construction or modification of the native neutrophils. On the basis of the innate immunologic function of neutrophils and intelligent optical manipulation, the proposed neutrophil microcraft might provide new insight for the construction of native medical microdevices for drug delivery and precise treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Background Myeloperoxidase (MPO) has been demonstrated to be a local mediator of inflammation in tissue damage in various inflammatory diseases. Given its controversial effect on colorectal cancer (CRC), there has been growing interest in investigating the role of this enzyme in CRC. The mechanism underlying MPO activity and CRC progression requires further clarification. Methods The expression and function of MPO in CRC were evaluated using TCGA analysis. TCGA, TIMER, and Human Cell Landscape analyses were used to analyze the correlation between MPO expression and neutrophil infiltration in CRC. Spearman’s bivariate correlation analysis was used to verify the correlation between MPO levels in CRC and the peripheral neutrophil count. In the clinical analysis, 8,121 patients who underwent elective surgery for CRC were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study from January 2008 to December 2014. Propensity score matching was used to address the differences in baseline characteristics. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to identify independent prognostic factors in patients with CRC. Results MPO was upregulated in CRC tissues, which is related to malignant progression and worse survival in CRC patients from TCGA analysis. MPO was significantly correlated with the infiltration level of neutrophils in CRC in TCGA, TIMER, and Human Cell Landscape analyses. MPO was positively correlated with the peripheral neutrophil count. Data of the 8,121 patients who underwent CRC surgery were available for analysis. After propensity score matching, 3,358 patients were included in each group. Kaplan–Meier survival curves showed that high preoperative neutrophil levels were associated with decreased overall survival (OS; P < 0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS; P = 0.015). The preoperative neutrophil count was an independent risk factor for OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.157; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.055–1.268; P = 0.002) and DFS (HR, 1.118; 95% CI, 1.009–1.238; P = 0.033). Conclusions Our research indicates that increased MPO levels in CRC are significantly correlated with high preoperative neutrophil counts, and both serve as prognostic indicators for worse survival in CRC patients. Our study suggests that neutrophils may be key players in the mechanism linking MPO levels with poor CRC outcomes.

Abstract
Cell-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) have received attention recently because of their unique biological properties and self-powered functions, such as excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, long circulation time, tissue-homingcharacteristics, and ability to cross biological barriers. A variety of cells, including erythrocytes, stem cells, and lymphocytes, have been explored as functional vectors for the loading and delivery of various therapeutic payloads (e.g., small-molecule and nucleic acid drugs) for subsequent disease treatment. These cell-based DDSs have their own unique in vivo fates, which are attributed to various factors, including their biological properties and functions, the loaded drugs and loading process, physiological and pathological circumstances, and the body's response to these carrier cells, which result in differences in drug delivery efficiency and therapeutic effect. In this review, we summarize the main cell-based DDSs and their biological properties and functions, applications in drug delivery and disease treatment, and in vivo fate and influencing factors. We envision that the unique biological properties, combined with continuing research, will enable development of cell-based DDSs as friendly drug vectors for the safe, effective, and even personalized treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Effective delivery of therapeutic modality throughout the tumorous nidus plays a crucial role in successful solid tumor treatment. However, conventional nanomedicines based on enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect have yielded limited delivery/therapeutic efficiency, due mainly to the heterogeneity of the solid tumor. Leukocytes, which could intrinsically migrate across the vessel wall and crawl through tissue interstitium in a self-deformable manner, have currently emerged as an alternative drug delivery vehicle. In this review, we start with the intrinsic properties of leukocytes (e.g., extravasation and crawling inside tumor), focusing on unveiling the conceptual rationality of leveraging leukocytes as EPR-independent delivery vehicles. Then we discussed various cargoes-loading/unloading strategies for leukocyte-based vehicles as well as their promising applications. This review aims to serve as an up-to-date compilation, which might provide inspiration for scientists in the field of drug delivery.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy can attenuate organ damage and reduce mortality in sepsis; however, the detailed mechanism is not fully elucidated. In this study, it is shown that MSC-derived apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) can ameliorate multiple organ dysfunction and improve survival in septic mice. Mechanistically, it is found that tail vein-infused apoVs mainly accumulate in the bone marrow of septic mice via electrostatic charge interactions with positively charged neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Moreover, apoVs switch neutrophils NETosis to apoptosis via the apoV-Fas ligand (FasL)-activated Fas pathway. In summary, these findings uncover a previously unknown role of apoVs in sepsis treatment and an electrostatic charge-directed target therapeutic mechanism, suggesting that cell death is associated with disease development and therapy.

Abstract
Although the survival rate of hematological malignancies (HM) has increased in recent years, the unnecessary adverse effect to the body is usually generated by the traditional chemotherapy for HM due to the lack of specificity to tumor tissue. Nanodrug delivery systems have exhibited unique advantages in targetability, stability and reducing toxicity, attracting wide concern, which is expected to be the prevalent alternative for the treatment of HM. In this review, we systemically introduced the current therapeutic strategies and the categories of HM. Subsequently, five key factors including circulation, targeting, penetration, internalization and release involving in tailoring nanoparticles were demonstrated, followed by the introduction of the development of nanodrug delivery-traditional synthetic nanomaterilas, biomimetic cell membrane coating nanomaterials, cell-based nanomaterials as well as immunotherapy combined with nanodrug. Afterwards, the recent advances of nanodrug delivery system for the treatment of HM were introduced. Moreover, the challenge and prospect of nanodrug delivery system in treating HM were discussed. The promising drug delivery system will provide new therapeutic avenues for the treatment of HM.

Abstract
Neutrophils, the most abundant leukocytes in humans, play a crucial role in acute inflammation during infection and tumorigenesis. Neutrophils are the major types of cells recruited to the inflammation sites induced by pathogens, exhibiting great homing ability towards inflammatory disorders and tumor sites. Therefore, a neutrophil-based drug delivery system (NDDS) has become a promising platform for anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory treatment. Recent decades have witnessed the huge progress of applying nanomaterials in drug delivery. Nanomaterials are regarded as innovative components to enrich the field of neutrophil-based therapies due to their unique physiochemical characteristics. In this review, the latest advancement of combining diverse nanomaterials with an NDDS for cancer and inflammatory disease treatment will be summarized. It is discussed how nanomaterials empower the therapeutic area of an NDDS and how an NDDS circumvents the limitations of nanomaterials. Moreover, based on the finding that neutrophils are closely involved in the progression of cancer and inflammatory diseases, emerging therapeutic strategies that target neutrophils will be outlined. Finally, as neutrophils were demonstrated to play a central role in the immunopathology of COVID-19, which causes necroinflammation that is responsible for the cytokine storm and sepsis during coronavirus infections, novel therapeutic approaches that anchor neutrophils against the pathological consequences related to COVID-19 will be highlighted as well.

Abstract
The chimeric trait of recruitment by inflammatory signals endows neutrophils with the functionality of migrating to inflamed tissues, which can be utilized to tailor novel drug delivery systems. In this review, we introduce a mechanism of neutrophil-derived drug delivery systems recruited into inflamed sites and provide insight into tumors and inflammation therapy. In particular, the advantages of neutrophils—their endogenous-derived neutrophil membrane, exosomes as drug carriers for augmented targeting, prolonged circulation, and improved biostability—were concluded. Subsequently, the latest application in the treatment of tumors and inflammation was elaborated upon, followed by a discussion of the future prospects to neutrophil-derived delivery systems. This promising system will provide new therapeutic avenues for the treatment of inflammation and tumors.

Abstract
Immune cells can actively regulate tumors or inflammatory sites and have good biocompatibility and safety. Currently, they are one of the most promising candidates for drug delivery systems. Moreover, immune cells can significantly extend the circulation time of nanoparticles and have broad-spectrum tumor-targeting properties. This article first introduces the immune cell types most commonly used in recent years, analyzes their advantages and disadvantages, and elucidates their application in anti-tumor therapy. Next, the various ways of loading nanoparticles on immune cells that have been used in recent years are summarized and simply divided into two categories: backpacks and Trojan horses. Finally, the two "mountains" that stand in front of us when using immune cells as cell carriers, off-target problems and effective release strategies, are discussed.

Abstract
Bone tissues are the main metastatic sites of many cancers, and bone metastasis is an important cause of death. When bone metastasis occurs, dynamic interactions between tumor cells and bone tissues promote changes in the tumor-bone microenvironments that are conducive to tumor growth and progression, which also promote several related diseases, including pathological fracture, bone pain, and hypercalcemia. Accordingly, it has obvious clinical benefits for improving the cure rate and reducing the occurrence of related diseases through targeting bone microenvironments for the treatment and early detection of cancer bone metastasis niches. In this review, we briefly analyzed the relationship between bone microstructures and tumor metastasis, as well as microenvironmental changes in osteoblasts, osteoclasts, immune cells, and extracellular and bone matrixes caused when metastatic tumor cells colonize bones. We also discuss novel designs in nanodrugs for inhibiting tumor proliferation and migration through targeting to tumor bone metastases and abnormal bone-microenvironment components. In addition, related researches on the early detection of bone and multi-organ metastases by nanoprobes are also introduced. And we look forward to provide some useful proposals and enlightenments on nanotechnology-based drug delivery and probes for the treatment and early detection of bone metastasis.

Abstract
Mimicking and leveraging biological structures and materials provide important approaches to develop functional vehicles for drug delivery. Taking advantage of the affinity and adhesion between the activated endothelial cells and innate immune cells during inflammatory responses, hybrid polyester nanoparticles coated with endothelial cell membranes (EM-P) containing adhesion molecules were fabricated and their capability as vehicles to travel to the acute injury sites through leukocyte-mediated processes was investigated. The in vivo studies and quantitative analyses performed through the lung-inflammation mouse models demonstrated that the EM-Ps preferentially interacted with the neutrophils and monocytes in the circulation and the cellular membrane-based biosurface improved the nanoparticle transportation to the inflamed lung possibly via the motility of neutrophils. Utilizing the transgenic zebrafish model, the leukocyte-mediated transportation and biodistribution of EM-Ps were further visualized in real time at the whole-organism level. Endothelial membranes provided a new biosurface for developing biomimetic vehicles to allow the immune cell-mediated transportation and may enable advanced systems for active and highly efficient drug delivery.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant brain tumor with unmet therapeutic demand. The blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and tumor heterogeneity limit the treatment effectiveness of various interventions. Here, an ultrasound augmented chemo/immuno therapy for GBM using a neutrophil-delivered nanosensitizer, is developed. The sensitizer is composed of a ZnGa2 O4 :Cr3+ (ZGO) core for persistent luminescence imaging and a hollow sono-sensitive TiO2 shell to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for controlled drug release. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (Anti-PD-1 antibody) is trapped in the interior of the porous ZGO@TiO2 with paclitaxel (PTX) loaded liposome encapsulation to form ZGO@TiO2 @ALP. Delivered by neutrophils (NEs), ZGO@TiO2 @ALP-NEs can penetrate through BBB for GBM accumulation. After intravenous injection, ultrasound irradiation at GBM sites initiates ROS generation from ZGO@TiO2 @ALP, leading to liposome destruction for PTX and anti-PD-1 antibody release to kill tumors and induce local inflammation, which in-turn attractes more ZGO@TiO2 @ALP-NEs to migrate into tumor sites for augmented and sustained therapy. The treatment enhances the survival rate of the GBM bearing mice from 0% to 40% and endows them with long-term immuno-surveillance for tumor recurrence, providing a new approach for precision therapy against GBM and other cancers.

Abstract
An emerging strategy is needed to treat autoimmune diseases, many of which are chronic with no definitive cure. Current treatments only alleviate symptoms and have many side effects affecting patient quality of life. Recently, nanoparticle drug delivery systems, an emerging method in medicine, has been used to target cells or organs, without damaging normal tissue. This approach has led to fewer side effects, along with a strong immunosuppressive capacity. Therefore, a nanotechnology approach may help to improve the treatment of autoimmune diseases. In this review, we separated nanoparticles into three categories: synthesized nanoparticles, biomimetic nanoparticles, and extracellular vesicles. This review firstly compares the typical mechanism of action of these three nanoparticle categories respectively in terms of active targeting, camouflage effect, and similarity to parent cells. Then their immunomodulation properties are discussed. Finally, the challenges faced by all these nanoparticles are described.

Abstract
Nanotechnology provides synthetic carriers for cancer drug delivery that protect cargos from degradation, control drug release and increase local accumulation at tumors. However, these non-natural vehicles display poor tumor targeting and potential toxicity and are eliminated by the immune system. Recently, biomimetic nanocarriers have been widely developed based on the concept of ‘mimicking nature.’ Among them, cell-derived biomimetic vehicles have become the focus of bionics research because of their multiple natural functions, such as low immunogenicity, long circulation time and targeting ability. Cell membrane-coated carriers and extracellular vesicles are two widely used cell-based biomimetic materials. Here, this review summarizes the latest progress in the application of these two biomimetic carriers in targeted cancer therapy. Their properties and performance are compared, and their future challenges and development prospects are discussed.

Abstract
During inflammation, inflammatory cells are rapidly recruited to sites of infection or injury, where they cross physiological barriers around the infected site and further infiltrate into the tissues. Other cells, such as erythrocytes, endothelial cells and stem cells, also play prominent roles in host defense and tissue repair. In recent years, nanotechnology has been exploited to deliver drugs to sites of inflammation. For example, nanoparticles camouflaged with a cell membrane are a novel drug-delivery platform that can interact with the immune system and that show great potential for treating inflammation. Encapsulating drugs inside plasma membranes derived from various cells involved in inflammatory processes can be effective against inflammation. This review describes the preparation, characterization, and properties of various types of cell membrane-camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticles. It also summarizes preclinical research into their efficacy against inflammation.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, a symptom of neutrophil depletion, makes cancer patients highly susceptible to invasive fungal infection with substantial morbidity and mortality. To address the cryptococcal brain infection in this condition, this study attempts to arm neutrophils (NEs) with antibiotics to potentiate the antifungal capability of NEs. To allow effective integration, amphotericin B, a potent antibiotic, is assembled with albumin nanoparticles through hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions to form AmB@BSA nanoparticles (A-NPs). The nutrient composition (albumin) and virus-like size (~40 nm) facilitate efficient uptake of A-NPs by NEs to construct the antibiotics-armed NEs. It is demonstrated that the armed NEs can maintain the intrinsic biological functions of NEs, such as cell viability and capacity of migration to an inflammatory site. In a neutropenic mouse model of brain fungal infection, the treatment with the armed NEs allows for preventing fungal invasion more effectively than that with the native NEs, without the apparent systemic toxicity. Such a synergistic anti-infection system maximizes the antifungal effects by taking advantage of NEs and antibiotics. It provides a potential NEs-mediated therapeutic approach for treating fungal infection caused by chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.

Abstract
Over the past decades, considerable attention has been dedicated to the exploitation of diverse immune cells as therapeutic and/or diagnostic cell-based microrobots for hard-to-treat disorders. To date, a plethora of therapeutics based on alive immune cells, surface-engineered immune cells, immunocytes' cell membranes, leukocyte-derived extracellular vesicles or exosomes, and artificial immune cells have been investigated and a few have been introduced into the market. These systems take advantage of the unique characteristics and functions of immune cells, including their presence in circulating blood and various tissues, complex crosstalk properties, high affinity to different self and foreign markers, unique potential of their on-demand navigation and activity, production of a variety of chemokines/cytokines, as well as being cytotoxic in particular conditions. Here, the latest progress in the development of engineered therapeutics and diagnostics inspired by immune cells to ameliorate cancer, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular complications, and infectious diseases is reviewed, and finally, the perspective for their clinical application is delineated.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is Caesar’s sword, which poses a huge risk to the present generation. Understanding the atherosclerotic disease cycle would allow ensuring improved diagnosis, better care, and treatment. Unfortunately, a highly effective and safe way of treating atherosclerosis in the medical community remains a continuous challenge. Conventional treatments have shown considerable success, but have some adverse effects on the human body. Natural derived medications or nutraceuticals have gained immense popularity in the treatment of atherosclerosis due to their decreased side effects and toxicity-related issues. In hindsight, the contribution of nutraceuticals in imparting enhanced clinical efficacy against atherosclerosis warrants more experimental evidence. On the other hand, nanotechnology and drug delivery systems (DDS) have revolutionized the way therapeutics are performed and researchers have been constantly exploring the positive effects that DDS brings to the field of therapeutic techniques. It could be as exciting as ever to apply nano-mediated delivery of nutraceuticals as an additional strategy to target the atherosclerotic sites boasting high therapeutic efficiency of the nutraceuticals and fewer side effects.

Abstract
Studies on neutrophil-based nanotherapeutic engineering have shown great potentials in treating infection and inflammation disorders. Conventional neutrophil labeling methods are time-consuming and often result in undesired contamination and activation since neutrophils are terminal-differentiated cells with a half-life span of only 7 h. A simple, fast, and biocompatible strategy to construct engineered neutrophils is highly desirable but remains difficult to achieve. In this study, we present an AIEgen-lipid conjugate, which can efficiently label harvested neutrophils in 30 s with no washing step required. This fast labeling method does not affect the activation and transmigration property of neutrophils, which has been successfully used to monitor neutrophil behaviors such as the chemotaxis process and migrating function towards inflammation sites both in vitro and in vivo, offering a tantalizing prospect for neutrophil-based nanotherapeutics studies.

Abstract
Many anti-inflammatory therapies targeting neutrophils have been developed so far. A sialic acid (SA)-modified liposomal (SAL) formulation, based on the high expression of L-selectin in peripheral blood neutrophils (PBNs) and SA as its targeting ligand, has proved to be an effective neutrophil-mediated drug delivery system targeting rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of particle size of drug-carrying SALs transported and delivered by neutrophils on their anti-RA effect. Dexamethasone palmitate-loaded SALs (DP-SALs) of different particle sizes (300.2 ± 5.5 nm, 150.3 ± 4.3 nm, and 75.0 ± 3.9 nm) were prepared with DP as a model drug. Our study indicated that DP-SALs could efficiently target PBNs, with larger liposomes leading to higher drug accumulation in cells. However, a high intake of large DP-SALs by PBNs inhibited their migration ability and capacity to release the payload at the target site. In contrast, small DP-SALs (75.0 ± 3.9 nm) could maintain the drug delivery potential of PBNs, leading to their efficient accumulation at the inflammatory site, where PBNs would be excessively activated to form neutrophil extracellular traps along with efficient payload release (small DP-SALs) and finally to induce excellent anti-RA effect.

Abstract
Background Chemotherapy is the primary treatment for most cancers apart from surgery. However, the use of chemotherapeutic drugs is limited by side effects and restricted accumulation in tumors because of unique tumor microenvironments. Macrophages have excellent drug delivery potential owing to their chemotaxis and can home in on tumors. Materials and Methods We developed an effective drug-delivery system for doxorubicin using macrophages. Doxorubicin-loaded egg yolk lipid-derived nanovectors (EYLNs-Dox) were prepared, EYLNs-Dox-loaded macrophages (Mac/EYLNs-Dox) were developed and their tumor penetration and anti-cancer activity against 4T1 cells were analyzed. The biodistribution and anti-4T1 breast cancer activities were determined using 4T1 subcutaneous and lung metastasis models. Results EYLNs-Dox was successfully internalized into macrophages without affecting their viability and was less toxic than Dox. Mac/EYLNs-Dox penetrated the 4T1 tumor spheroids more efficiently and was more effective in inhibiting tumors in vitro. Macrophages significantly enhanced the distribution of EYLNs vectors in both inflammatory and tumor sites, playing a more effective role in the inhibition of tumors. Conclusion EYLNs-Dox can be effectively delivered using macrophages and Mac/EYLNs-Dox might be a promising targeted delivery system for breast cancer.

Abstract
The rational design of nanoplatforms to bypass reticuloendothelial system (RES) clearance, enhance spatiotemporal controllability, and boost host immune responses to achieve synergized tumor-targeted therapeutic purpose is highly desired. Herein, a biomimetic nanosystem is developed for tumor-targeted in situ delivery of singlet oxygen (1O2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in response to exogenous stimulus ultrasound (US) and endogenous stimulus hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor microenvironment, respectively. Taking advantages of tumor homing and RES evasion abilities of the macrophage membrane coating, our designed nanosystem shows excellent accumulation at the tumor site and effective suppression of tumor growth through US/H2O2-generated 1O2 and CO to induce cell apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, our nanosystem can induce significant tumor immunogenic death by 1O2/CO therapy, then can achieve effective immune responses and long-term immune memory through the combination of indoleamin 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) signal blocking to effectively against tumor rechallenge and prevent lung metastasis. Taken together, the here-presented therapeutic strategy based on sonodynamic/CO therapy and IDO signaling inhibition might provide a promising perspective for synergistically treating cancer in future clinical translations.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a key mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In the field of precision medicine for the treatment of atherosclerosis, nanoparticle (NP)-mediated drug delivery systems have great potential, owing to their ability to release treatment locally. Cell-derived biomimetic NPs have attracted extensive attention at present due to their excellent targeting to atherosclerotic inflammatory sites, low immunogenicity and long blood circulation time. Here, we review the utility of cell-derived biomimetic NPs, including whole cells, cell membranes and extracellular vesicles, in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
