Abstract
Infectious and inflammatory diseases are one of the leading causes of death globally. The status quo has become more prominent with the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. To combat these potential crises, proteins have been proven as highly efficacious drugs, drug targets, and biomarkers. On the other hand, advancements in nanotechnology have aided efficient and sustained drug delivery due to their nano-dimension-acquired advantages. Combining both strategies together, the protein nanoplatforms are equipped with the advantageous intrinsic properties of proteins as well as nanoformulations, eloquently changing the field of nanomedicine. Proteins can act as carriers, therapeutics, diagnostics, and theranostics in their nanoform as fusion proteins or as composites with other organic/inorganic materials. Protein-based nanoplatforms have been extensively explored to target the major infectious and inflammatory diseases of clinical concern. The current review comprehensively deliberated proteins as nanocarriers for drugs and nanotherapeutics for inflammatory and infectious agents, with special emphasis on cancer and viral diseases. A plethora of proteins from diverse organisms have aided in the synthesis of protein-based nanoformulations. The current study specifically presented the proteins of human and pathogenic origin to dwell upon the field of protein nanotechnology, emphasizing their pharmacological advantages. Further, the successful clinical translation and current bottlenecks of the protein-based nanoformulations associated with the infection-inflammation paradigm have also been discussed comprehensively. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This review discusses the plethora of promising protein-based nanocarriers and nanotherapeutics explored for infectious and inflammatory ailments, with particular emphasis on protein nanoparticles of human and pathogenic origin with reference to the advantages, ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion parameters), and current bottlenecks in development of protein-based nanotherapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Polymersomes are vesicular nanostructures enclosed by a bilayer-membrane self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers, which exhibit higher stability compared with their biological analogues (e.g. liposomes). Due to their versatility, polymersomes have found various applications in different research fields such as drug delivery, nanomedicine, biological nanoreactors, and artificial cells. However, polymersomes prepared with high molecular weight components typically display low permeability to molecules and ions. It hence remains a major challenge to balance the opposing features of robustness and permeability of polymersomes. In this review, we focus on the design and strategies for fabricating permeable polymersomes, including polymersomes with intrinsic permeability, the formation of nanopores in the membrane bilayers by protein insertion, and the construction of stimuli-responsive polymersomes. Then, we highlight the applications of permeable polymersomes in the fields of biomimetic nanoreactors, artificial cells and organelles, and nanomedicine, to underline the challenges in the development of polymersomes as soft matter with biomedical utilities.

Stimuli-Responsive Self-Assembly of Poly(2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl Methacrylate-co-(oligo ethylene glycol)methacrylate) Random Copolymers and Their Modified Derivatives. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15061519.

Abstract
In this work, the synthesis and the stimuli-responsive self-assembly behavior of novel double-hydrophilic poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-co-(oligo ethylene glycol)methacrylate) random copolymers and their chemically modified derivatives are presented. The synthesis of P(DMAEMA-co-OEGMA) copolymers of different DMAEMA mass compositions was successfully conducted through RAFT polymerization, further followed by the hydrophilic/hydrophobic quaternization with methyl iodide (CH3I), 1-iodohexane (C6H13I), and 1-iodododecane (C12H25I). The tertiary and quaternary amines are randomly arranged within the DMAEMA segment, responding thus to pH, temperature, and salt alterations in aqueous solutions. Light scattering techniques elucidated the intramolecular self-folding and intermolecular self-assembly of polymer chains of P(DMAEMA-co-OEGMA) copolymers upon exposure to different pHs and temperatures. Q(P(DMAEMA-co-OEGMA)) cationic polyelectrolytes demonstrated moderate response to pH, temperature, and ionic strength as a result of the permanent hydrophilic/hydrophobic profile, closely connected with the attached alkyl chains and the quaternization degree. Moreover, fluorescence spectroscopy measurements confirmed the internal micropolarity and the picture of the aggregate inner structure.

Abstract
Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are devastating. In SCIs, a powerful traumatic force impacting the spinal cord results in the permanent loss of nerve function below the injury level, leaving the patient paralyzed and wheelchair-bound for the remainder of his/her life. Unfortunately, clinical treatment that depends on surgical decompression appears to be unable to handle damaged nerves, and high-dose methylprednisolone-based therapy is also associated with problems, such as infection, gastrointestinal bleeding, femoral head necrosis, obesity, and hyperglycemia. Nanomaterials have opened new avenues for SCI treatment. Among them, performance-based nanomaterials derived from a variety of materials facilitate improvements in the microenvironment of traumatic injury and, in some cases, promote neuron regeneration. Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems enable the optimization of drug effects and drug bioavailability, thus contributing to the development of novel treatments. The improved efficiency and accuracy of gene delivery will also benefit the exploration of SCI mechanisms and the understanding of key genes and signaling pathways. Herein, we reviewed different types of nanomaterials applied to the treatment of SCI and summarized their functions and advantages to provide new perspectives for future clinical therapies.

Abstract
Tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA)-based cancer vaccines achieved promising results, whereas missing the T cell-mediated cellular immune response is still a crucial problem to be solved. Here, we have developed Tn antigen (GalNAc)-modified liposome-encapsulated TLR9 agonist CpG ODN adjuvant as a cancer vaccine. The glyco-liposome vaccines exhibit strong binding ability with an anti-Tn specific antibody and enhance antigen presentation of both bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and spleen B cells. In vivo immunogenicity studies have demonstrated that the glyco-liposome vaccines can significantly enhance the generation of high anti-Tn antigen antibody titers and further induce a Th1-dependent cellular immune response, evidenced by IFN-γ secretion in an immune coculture of immunized T cells with Tn-expression 4T1 cancer cells. Collectively, our results highlight a liposome-based carbohydrate vaccine as a promising platform, which can simultaneously elicit both humoral and cellular antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Bioactive materials are a kind of materials with unique bioactivities, which can change the cellular behaviors and elicit biological responses from living tissues. Bioactive materials came into the spotlight in the late 1960s when the researchers found that the materials such as bioglass could react with surrounding bone tissue for bone regeneration. In the following decades, advances in nanotechnology brought the new development opportunities to bioactive nanomaterials. Bioactive nanomaterials are not a simple miniaturization of macroscopic materials. They exhibit unique bioactivities due to their nanoscale size effect, high specific surface area, and precise nanostructure, which can significantly influence the interactions with biological systems. Nowadays, bioactive nanomaterials have represented an important and exciting area of research. Current and future applications ensure that bioactive nanomaterials have a high academic and clinical importance. This review summaries the recent advances in the field of bioactive nanomaterials, and evaluate the influence factors of bioactivities. Then, a range of bioactive nanomaterials and their potential biomedical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Introduction: The treatment of tumors is one of the most difficult problems in the medical field at present. Patients often use a comprehensive therapy that combines surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has prominent potential for eradicating various cancers. Chlorin-based photosensitizers (PSs), as one of the most utilized photosensitizers, have many advantages over conventional photosensitizers; however, a successful chlorin-based PDT needs multi-functional nano-carriers for selective photosensitizer delivery. The number of researches about nanoparticles designed for improved chlorin-based PSs is increasing in the current era. In this article, we give a brief review focused on the recent research progress in design of chlorin-based nanoparticles for the treatment of malignant tumors with photodynamic therapy.Areas covered: This review focuses on the current nanoparticle platforms for PDT, and describes different strategies to achieve controllable PDT by chlorin-nano-delivery systems. The challenges and prospects of PDT in clinical applications are also discussed.Expert opinions: The requirement for PDT to eradicate cancers has increased exponentially in recent years. The major clinically used photosensitizers are hydrophobic. The main obstacles in effective delivery of PSs are associated with this intrinsic nature. The design of nano-delivery systems to load PSs is pivotal for PSs' widespread use.

Abstract
The metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have shown fascinating possibilities in biomedical applications, designing a multifunctional drug delivery system based on the MOF is important. In this study, 5-sulfosalicylic acid and boswellic acids (BAs) were loaded to the pH sensitive zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocomposite containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the center. The ZIF layer acts as a capsule for the nontoxic storage of 5-sulfosalicylic acid and boswellic acids (BAs) under physiological conditions. The results of the characterization demonstrated the performance of the nanocarrier formation. The pH-sensitive drug release of 5-sulfosalicylic acid was detected due to the innate pH-dependent stability of ZIF-8. An effective pH-sensitive drug delivery system using a 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA@ZIF-8, and 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA/BAs@ZIF-8, in which the 5-sulfosalicylicacid is not free in physiological pH but it is released at acidic pH (5.0) has been fabricated. The best biocompatibility has been found in 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA/BAs@ZIF-8 comparing to the 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA, 5-sulfosalicylic acid /BSA/BAs, and 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA@ZIF-8. Additionally, 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA /BAs@ZIF-8 exhibited higher effectiveness than other compounds against the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, with less toxicity. It is concluded from the results of the current study that the fabricated ZIF-8 based nanocarrier may potentially provide therapeutic effects on breast cancer cells.

Abstract
A lack of sufficient tumor penetration and low delivery efficiency are the main reasons for the limited clinical applications of nanocarriers in cancer treatment. Tumor microenvironment responsive drug delivery systems have been attracting great interest in cancer therapy as the desired drug release can be achieved in the disease sites for optimal treatment efficiency. In this work, we developed a biodegradable nanohybrid drug delivery system with pH/redox/enzymatic sensitivity by the simple assembly of bovine serum albumin nano-units (about 5 nm) onto graphene oxide nanosheets in the presence of a naturally originating protein (gelatin). The nanoparticles can maintain a constant size under physiological conditions, while releasing 5 nm nano-units containing the drug upon triggering by the environment-mimicking protease highly expressed in the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, after reaching the tumor tissue, the acidic, reductive, and enzymatic microenvironments turned on the switch for DOX release, and the combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy was achieved under the trigger of near-infrared light. The nanosystems have the potential to improve the penetration ability through the depth of the tumor tissue to enhance drug intracellular delivery and antitumor bioactivity.

Abstract
Herein the nucleic acid aptamers were attached to the polydeoxyadenylic acid (poly(dA)) tail for improving the tumor-targetability and cellular internalization of s-LNT/poly(dA) composite composed of two single chains of triple helical β-glucan lentinan (s-LNT) and one poly(dA) chain. The in vitro results demonstrate that the cellular uptake of s-LNT/poly(dA) composites in MCF-7 cancer cells was enhanced effectively after attaching the aptamer. The as-prepared fluorescin isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled LNT (LNT-FITC) through grafting was used for tracing the enhanced tumor-targetability of the composites. As a result, the cellular internalization of the LNT-FITC into MCF-7 and 4T1 cancer cells was further increased by the aptamer conjugated to poly(dA). Meanwhile, the in vivo experiments further demonstrate more s-LNT/poly(dA)-aptamer composites were effectively accumulated at the tumor site compared with s-LNT alone. This work provides a novel strategy for fabricating triplex β-glucan as delivery vectors with active tumor-targetability.

Abstract
Functional materials and nanostructures have been widely used for enhancing the therapeutic potency and safety of current cancer immunotherapy. While profound nanostructures have been developed to participate in the development of cancer immunotherapy, the construction of intricate nanostructures with easy fabrication and functionalization properties to satisfy the diversified requirements in cancer immunotherapy are highly required. Hierarchical self-assembly using supramolecular interactions to manufacture organized architectures at multiple length scales represents an interesting and promising avenue for sophisticated nanostructure construction. In this mini-review, we will outline the recent progress made in the development of supramolecular self-assembled nanostructures for cancer immunotherapy, with special focus on the supramolecular interactions including supramolecular peptide assembly, supramolecular DNA assembly, lipid hydrophobic assembly, host-guest assembly, and biomolecular recognition assembly.

Abstract
Zwitterionic polymers are a class of polymers that acts as both Lewis base and Lewis acid in solution. These polymers not only have excellent properties of hydration, anti-bacterial adhesion, charge reversal and easy chemical modification, but also have characteristics of long-term circulation and suppress nonspecific protein adsorption in vivo. Here, we describe a novel folate-targeted and acid-labile polymeric prodrug under the microenvironment of tumor cells, abbreviated as FA-P(MPC-co-PEGMA-BZ)-g-DOX, which was synthesized via a combination of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization, Schiff-base reaction, Click chemistry, and a reaction between the amine group of doxorubicin (DOX) and aldehyde functionalities of P(MPC-co-PEGMA-BZ) pendants, wherein MPC and PEGMA-BZ represent 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine and polyethylene glycol methacrylate ester benzaldehyde, respectively. The polymeric prodrug could self-assemble into nanoparticles in an aqueous solution. The average particle size and morphologies of the prodrug nanoparticles were observed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. We also investigated the in vitro drug release behavior and observed rapid prodrug nanoparticle dissociation and drug release under a mildly acidic microenvironment. The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay verified that the P(MPC-co-PEGMA-BZ) copolymer possessed good biocompatibility and the FA-P(MPC-co-PEGMA-BZ)-g-DOX prodrug nanoparticles showed higher cellular uptake than those prodrug nanoparticles without the FA moiety. The results of cytotoxicity and the intracellular uptake of non-folate/folate targeted prodrug nanoparticles further confirmed that FA-P(MPC-co-PEGMA-BZ)-g-DOX could be efficiently accumulated and rapidly internalized by HeLa cells due to the strong interaction between multivalent phosphorylcholine (PC) groups and cell membranes. This kind of multifunctional FA-P(MPC-co-PEGMA-BZ)-g-DOX prodrug nanoparticle with combined target-ability and pH responsiveness demonstrates promising potential for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
The utilization of nanotechnology for the delivery of a wide range of anticancer drugs has the potential to reduce adverse effects of free drugs and improve the anticancer efficacy. However, carrier materials and/or chemical modifications associated with drug delivery make it difficult for nanodrugs to achieve clinical translation and final Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals. We have discovered a molecular recognition strategy to directly assemble two FDA-approved small-molecule hydrophobic and hydrophilic anticancer drugs into well-defined, stable nanostructures with high and quantitative drug loading. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that purine nucleoside analogue clofarabine and folate analogue raltitrexed can self-assemble into stable nanoparticles through molecular recognition. In vitro studies exemplify how the clofarabine:raltitrexed nanoparticles could greatly improve synergistic combination effects by arresting more G1 phase of the cell cycle and reducing intracellular deoxynucleotide pools. More importantly, the nanodrugs increase the blood retention half-life of the free drugs, improve accumulation of drugs in tumor sites, and promote the synergistic tumor suppression property in vivo.
