Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulations are gaining attention as universal formulations with applications in a diverse range of drug formulations. The practical application of DPIs to pulmonary drugs requires enhancing their delivery efficiency to the target sites for various treatment modalities. Previous reviews have not explored the relation between particle morphology and delivery to different pulmonary regions. This review introduces new approaches to improve targeted DPI delivery using novel particle design such as supraparticles and metal-organic frameworks based on cyclodextrin. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the design of DPI formulations using polysaccharides, promising excipients not yet approved by regulatory agencies. These excipients can be used to design various particle morphologies by controlling their physicochemical properties and manufacturing methods. EXPERT OPINION Challenges associated with DPI formulations include poor access to the lungs and low delivery efficiency to target sites in the lung. The restricted applicability of typical excipients contributes to their limited use. However, new formulations based on polysaccharides are expected to establish a technological foundation for the development of DPIs capable of delivering modalities specific to different lung target sites, thereby enhancing drug delivery.

Abstract
A suite of acyl chloride structural isomers (C6H11OCl) was used to effect gas-phase esterification of starch-based phytoglycogen nanoparticles (PhG NPs). The surface degree of substitution (DS) was quantified using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, while the overall DS was quantified using 1H NMR spectroscopy. Gas-phase modification initiates at the NP surface, with the extent of surface and overall esterification determined by both the reaction time and the steric footprint of the acyl chloride reagent. The less sterically hindered acyl chlorides diffuse fully into the NP interior, while the branched isomers are restricted to the near-surface region and form self-limiting hydrophobic shells, with shell thicknesses decreasing with increasing steric footprint. These differences in substitution were also reflected in the solubility of the NPs, with water solubility systematically decreasing with increasing DS. The ability to separately control both the surface and overall degree of functionalization and thereby form thin hydrophobic shells has significant implications for the development of polysaccharide-based biopolymers as nanocarrier delivery systems.

Abstract
Polysaccharides constitute over 90% of the carbohydrate mass in nature, which makes them a promising feedstock for manufacturing sustainable materials. Polysaccharide particles (PSPs) are used as effective scavengers, carriers of chemical and biological cargos, and building blocks for the fabrication of macroscopic materials. The biocompatibility and degradability of PSPs are advantageous for their uses as biomaterials with more environmental friendliness. This review highlights the progresses in PSP applications as advanced functional materials, by describing PSP extraction, preparation, and surface functionalization with a variety of functional groups, polymers, nanoparticles, and biologically active species. This review also outlines the fabrication of PSP-derived macroscopic materials, as well as their applications in soft robotics, sensing, scavenging, water harvesting, drug delivery, and bioengineering. The paper is concluded with an outlook providing perspectives in the development and applications of PSP-derived materials.

Abstract
Notwithstanding that immunotherapy has made eminent clinical breakthroughs, activating the immunogenicity and breaking the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) remains tempting yet challenging. Herein, a customized-designed immunostimulant is engineered for attenuating ITME and eliciting an immune response to address this challenge head-on. This immunostimulant is equipped with dual silica layers coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as nanocarriers modified with endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted molecular N-p-Tosylglycine, in which the dense silica for chlorin e6 (Ce6) and the glutathione (GSH)-responsive degradable silica for loading resveratrol (RES) - (UCSMRER ). On the one hand, this precise ER-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ under the 980 nm laser irradiation, which not only induced severe cell death directly but also caused intense ER stress-based immunogenic cell death (ICD). On the other hand, tumor hypoxia aggravated by the PDT is alleviated by RES released on-demand, which reduced oxygen consumption by impairing the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). This integrated precise ER-targeted and oxygen-compensated strategy maximized the PDT effect and potentiated ICD-associated immunotherapy, which availed to attenuate ITME, activate tumor immunogenicity, and further magnify the anti-tumor effect. This innovative concept about PDT and immunotherapy sheds light on cancer-related clinical application.

Abstract
Fluorescent microbeads (MBs) are widely used as next-generation biosensors for the detection of target chemicals at highly sensitive concentrations, and for imaging and tracking in vitro and in vivo. However, most known methods for producing fluorescent MBs require complicated multistep processes that result in low production rates. In this study, we report a method for fabricating micrometer-sized quantum dot microbeads (QD-MBs) using a microfluidic chip and specially designed QD photoresist (QD-PR). This on-demand lab-on-a-chip method yielded monodispersed QD-MBs ranging from 1.89 to 33 μm with a coefficient of variation of less than 10%. The size distribution of the fabricated QD-MBs was Gaussian with a peak around the mean diameter and a spread of sizes around the peak. Compared with nanoscale QDs, the fabricated QD-MBs showed no emission loss. The full-width at half-maximum of the emission peak of the QD-MBs was smaller than that of the colloidal QDs, indicating a more uniform distribution and a higher density of QDs within the MB structure. In addition, we investigated the microfluidic flow regime that yielded the most uniform and controllable QD-MB. The MBs in the dripping regime were spherical and monodisperse, with an excellent particle size distribution. In this study, we present a simple and effective strategy for producing QD-MBs with controllable sizes, which can be crucial in diverse fields such as biosensing, drug delivery, and imaging.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor with low survival, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and high infiltration. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-based near-infrared (NIR) phototherapy with deep penetration is a promising therapy method against glioma but faces low photoenergy utilization that is induced by spectral mismatch and single-site Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Herein, we designed a brain-targeting NIR theranostic system with a dual-site FRET route and superior spectral matching to maximize energy utilization for synergistic photodynamic and photothermal therapy of glioma. The system was fabricated by Tm-doped UCNPs, zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP), and copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles under multioptimized modulation. First, the Tm-doping ratio was precisely adjusted to improve the relative emission intensity at 475 nm of UCNPs (11.5-fold). Moreover, the J-aggregate of ZnTPP increased the absorption at 475 nm (163.5-fold) of monomer; both together optimize the FRET matching between UCNPs and porphyrin for effective NIR photodynamic therapy. Simultaneously, the emission at 800 nm was utilized to magnify the photothermal effect of CuS nanoparticles for photothermal therapy via the second FRET route. After being modified by a brain-targeted peptide, the system efficiently triggers the synergistic phototherapy ablation of glioma cells and significantly prolongs the survival of orthotopic glioma-bearing mice after traversing the BBB and targeting glioma. This success of advanced spectral modulation and dual-site FRET strategy may inspire more strategies to maximize the photoenergy utilization of UCNPs for brain diseases.

Abstract
Carcinogenic colorectal hemorrhage can cause severe blood loss and longitudinal ulcer, which ultimately become fatal if left untreated. The present study was aimed to formulate targeted release gemcitabine (GC)-containing magnetic microspheres (MM) of halloysite nanotubes (MHMG), chitosan (MCMG), and their combination (MHCMG). The preparation of MM by magnetism was confirmed by vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), the molecular arrangement of NH2, alumina, and silica groups was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), the hollow spherical nature of the proposed MM was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), functional groups were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermochemical modification was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In vitro thrombus formation showed a decreasing trend of hemostatic time for MMs in the order of MHMG3 < MCMG3 < MHCMG7, which was confirmed by whole blood clotting kinetics. Interestingly, rat tail amputation and liver laceration showed 3 folds increased clotting efficiency of optimized MHCMG7 compared to that of control. In vivo histopathological studies and cell viability assays confirmed the regeneration of epithelial cells. The negligible systemic toxicity of MHCMG7, more than 90% entrapment of GC and high % release in alkaline medium made the proposed MM an excellent candidate for the control of hemorrhage in colorectal cancer. Conclusively, the healing of muscularis and improved recovery of the colon from granulomas ultimately improved the therapeutic effects of GC-containing MMs. The combination of both HNT and CTS microspheres made them more targeted.

Abstract
Phytoglycogen (PG) is a hyperbranched polysaccharide with promising properties for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Herein, we explore the size and structure of sweet corn PG nanoparticles and their aggregation in water-ethanol mixtures up to the ethanol mole fraction xEtOH = 0.364 in dilute concentrations using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. Between 0 ≤ xEtOH ≤ 0.129, the conformation of PG contracts gradually decreasing up to ca. 80% in hydrodynamic volume, when measured shortly after ethanol addition. For equilibrated PG dispersions, SAXS suggests a lower PG volume decrease between 19 and 67% at the corresponding xEtOH range; however, the inflection point of the DLS volume contraction coincides with the onset of reduced colloidal stability observed with SAXS. Up to xEtOH = 0.201, the water-ethanol mixtures yield labile fractal and globular aggregates, as evidenced by their partial breakup under mild ultrasonic treatment, demonstrated by the decrease in their hydrodynamic size. Between 0.235 ≤ xEtOH ≤ 0.364, PG nanoparticles form larger, more cohesive globular aggregates that are less affected by ultrasonic shear forces.
