Abstract
Nanoparticles used for drug delivery often require intravenous administration exposing them to fluid forces within the vasculature, yet the impact of blood flow on nanoparticle delivery remains incompletely understood. Here, we utilized transgenic zebrafish embryos to investigate the relationship between the accumulation of fluorescently labeled PEGylated liposomes and various hemodynamic factors (such as flow velocity, wall shear stress (WSS), and flow pattern) across a wide range of angiogenic blood vessels. We reconstructed 3D models of vascular structures from confocal images and used computational fluid dynamics to calculate local WSS, velocities, and define flow patterns. The spatial distribution of fluorescently labeled liposomes was subsequently mapped within the same 3D space and correlated with local hemodynamic parameters. Through the integration of computational fluid dynamics and in vivo experimentation, we show that liposomes accumulated in vessel regions with WSS between 0.1-0.8 Pa, displaying an inverse linear correlation (R2 > 0.85) between time-averaged wall shear stress and liposome localization in vivo. Interestingly, flow pattern did not appear to impact liposome accumulation. Collectively, our findings suggest the potential of stealth liposomes for passive targeting of low-flow vasculature, including capillaries and intricate angiogenic vasculature resembling that of tumor vessel networks.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127275. [PMID: 37804889 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
One of the major factors that is currently hindering the development of hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) is the autoxidation of Hb into nonfunctional methemoglobin. Modification with polydopamine (PDA), which is a biocompatible free radical scavenger has shown the ability to protect Hb against oxidation. Due to its tremendous potential in the development of successful HBOCs, herein, we conduct a thorough evaluation of the effect of PDA on the stability, aggregation, structure and function of the underlying Hb. By UV-vis spectrometry we show that PDA can prevent Hb's aggregation while thermal denaturation studies indicate that, although PDA coating resulted in a lower midpoint transition temperature, it was also able to protect the protein from full denaturation. These results are further corroborated by differential scanning calorimetry. Circular dichroism reveals that PDA can promote changes in Hb's secondary structure while, by UV-vis spectroscopy, we show that PDA also interacts with the porphyrin complex located in Hb's hydrophobic pocket. Last but not least, affinity studies show that PDA-coated Hb has a higher capability for oxygen release. Such an effect is further enhanced at lower pH. Importantly, through molecular docking simulations we provide a plausible explanation for the observed experimental results.

Abstract
Circulating drugs in the peritoneal cavity is an effective strategy for advanced ovarian cancer treatment. Photoimmunotherapy, an emerging modality with potential for the treatment of ovarian cancer, involves near-infrared light activation of antibody-photosensitizer conjugates (photoimmunoconjugates) to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species. Here, a microfluidic cell culture model is used to study how fluid flow-induced shear stress affects photoimmunoconjugate delivery to ovarian cancer cells. Photoimmunoconjugates are composed of the antibody, cetuximab, conjugated to the photosensitizer, and benzoporphyrin derivative. Longitudinal tracking of photoimmunoconjugate treatment under flow conditions reveals enhancements in subcellular photosensitizer accumulation. Compared to static conditions, fluid flow-induced shear stress at 0.5 and 1 dyn/cm2 doubled the cellular delivery of photoimmunoconjugates. Fluid flow-mediated treatment with three different photosensitizer formulations (benzoporphyrin derivative, photoimmunoconjugates, and photoimmunoconjugate-coated liposomes) led to enhanced phototoxicity compared to static conditions. This study confirms the fundamental role of fluid flow-induced shear stress in the anti-cancer effects of photoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) hold tremendous targeting potential in cardiovascular disease and regenerative medicine, and exciting clinical applications are coming into light. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) exposure to different magnitudes and patterns of shear stress (SS) generated by blood flow could engulf NPs in the blood. However, an unclear understanding of the role of SS on NP uptake is hindering the progress in improving the targeting of NP therapies. Here, the temporal and spatial distribution of SS in vascular ECs and the effect of different SS on NP uptake in ECs are highlighted. The mechanism of SS affecting NP uptake through regulating the cellular ROS level, endothelial glycocalyx and membrane fluidity is summarized, and the molecules containing clathrin and caveolin in the engulfment process are elucidated. SS targeting NPs are expected to overcome the current bottlenecks and change the field of targeting nanomedicine. This assessment on how SS affects the cell uptake of NPs and the marginalization of NPs in blood vessels could guide future research in cell biology and vascular targeting drugs.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is integral to the functioning of the human body. Several pathological conditions, such as trauma (primary lesion) or genetic diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), can affect and impair its functions or exceed its regeneration capacity. Tissue engineering (TE) based on natural, synthetic and hybrid biomaterials provides a robust platform for developing scaffolds that promote skeletal muscle regeneration, strength recovery, vascularization and innervation. Recent 3D-cell printing technology and the use of nanocarriers for the release of drugs, peptides and antisense oligonucleotides support unique therapeutic alternatives. Here, the authors present recent advances in scaffold biomaterials and nano-based therapeutic strategies for skeletal muscle regeneration and perspectives for future endeavors.

Abstract
Although an established drug delivery platform, liposomes have not fulfilled their true potential. In the body, interactions of liposomes are mediated by the layer of plasma proteins adsorbed on the surface, the protein corona. The review aims to collect the data of the last decade on liposome protein corona, tracing the path from interactions of individual proteins to the effects mediated by the protein corona in vivo. It offers a classification of the approaches to exploitation of the protein corona-rather than elimination thereof-based on the bilayer composition-corona composition-molecular interactions-biological performance framework. The multitude of factors that affect each level of this relationship urge to the widest implementation of bioinformatics tools to predict the most effective liposome compositions relying on the data on protein corona. Supplementing the picture with new pieces of accurately reported experimental data will contribute to the accuracy and efficiency of the predictions. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The review focuses on liposomes as an established nanomedicine platform and analyzes the available data on how the protein corona formed on liposome surface in biological fluids affects performance of the liposomes. The review offers a rigorous account of existing literature and critical analysis of methodology currently applied to the assessment of liposome-plasma protein interactions. It introduces a classification of the approaches to exploitation of the protein corona and tailoring liposome carriers to advance the field of nanoparticulate drug delivery systems for the benefit of patients.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have an extensive range of diagnostic and therapeutic applications in cancer treatment. However, their current clinical translation is slow, mainly due to the failure to develop preclinical evaluation techniques that can draw similar conclusions to clinical outcomes by adequately mimicking nanoparticle behavior in complicated tumor microenvironments (TMEs). Microfluidic methods offer significant advantages over conventional in vitro methods to resolve these challenges by recapitulating physiological cues of the TME such as the extracellular matrix, shear stress, interstitial flow, soluble factors, oxygen, and nutrient gradients. The methods are capable of de-coupling microenvironmental features, spatiotemporal controlling of experimental sequences, and high throughput readouts in situ. This progress report highlights the recent achievements of microfluidic models to reconstitute the physiological microenvironment, especially for nanomedical tools for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Recently, nanomedicines have gained a great deal of attention in diverse biomedical applications, including anti-cancer therapy. Being different from normal tissue, the biophysical microenvironment of tumor cells and cancer cell mechanics should be considered for the development of nanostructures as anti-cancer agents. Throughout the last decades, many efforts devoted to investigating the distinct cancer environment and understanding the interactions between tumor cells and have been applied bio-nanomaterials. This review highlights the microenvironment of cancer cells and how it is different from that of healthy tissue. We gave special emphasis to the physiological shear stresses existing in the cancerous surroundings, since these stresses have a profound effect on cancer cell/nanoparticle interaction. Finally, this study reviews relevant examples of investigations aimed at clarifying the cellular nanoparticle uptake behavior under both static and dynamic conditions.

Abstract
Cellular properties and microenvironments, as well as the characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs), affect the cellular uptake and cytotoxic effects of drug-loaded NPs. Since there is fluid flow in the human blood system, fluid flow also affects the drug delivery efficiency of NPs. This study aimed to evaluate the cellular behaviors of drug-loaded soft NPs on A549 cancer cells under different levels of shear stress (0.5, 5, and 50 dynes/cm2) in the biomimetic microfluidic system. The soft self-assembled NPs were formed by the gelatin-oleic conjugate (GOC). The poorly water-soluble coumarin-6 or paclitaxel (PTX) were used as model markers for encapsulation within self-assembled NPs (C-GONs or PTX-GONs, respectively). The cellular uptake of C-GONs was found to be improved with shear-stress dependence. The inhibitory concentration (IC50) of PTX-GONs at 0.5, 5, and 50 dynes/cm2 was 0.106 µg/mL, 0.108 µg/mL, and 0.091 µg/mL, respectively, as compared to 0.138 µg/mL in a static condition. The cell killing efficiency of PTX-GONs was increased in the highest shear stress of 50 dynes/cm2 in the static condition, and other levels of shear stress in dynamic conditions.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-protein interactions under conditions mimicking physiology determine how nanoparticles (NPs) will behave inside blood vessels and, therefore, the overall outcome of the drug-delivery system. Here, for the first time, we explore the effects of bio-mimicking shear stress and protein corona conditions on novel active targeting of clickable fattigation nanoparticles (NPs) for cancer therapy. Active targeting dibenzocyclooctyne-functionalized biocompatible gelatin-oleic NPs (GON-DBCOs) via a bioorthogonal click reaction were prepared by the desolvation method for delivery of docetaxel (DTX) to lung and breast cancer models. The effect of shear stress (5 dyne/cm2) and human serum albumin (HSA) protein corona on the cellular behavior of NPs was explored under a dynamic microfluidic system in lung (A549) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines. The developed drug-loaded NPs had a particle size of 300 nm, a narrow size distribution, positive zeta potential, high encapsulation efficacy (72.4%), and spherical morphology. The particle size of the protein corona-coated NPs increased to 341 nm with a negative zeta potential. The inhibitory dose (IC50) increased approximately 3- and 42-fold in A549 and MCF-7 cells, respectively, under dynamic microfluidic conditions compared to static conditions. Cellular uptake was significantly decreased in the presence of shear stress and a protein corona, compared with static conditions, in both lung (A549, **p < 0.01) and breast (MCF-7, *p < 0.05) cancer cell lines. Clathrin-and energy-dependent pathways were found to be involved in the cellular uptake of NPs. This study could serve as a vital tool for the evaluation of NPs under aggressive bio-mimicking conditions comprising shear stress and a protein corona to predict the in vivo performance of NPs and support the preclinical and clinical translation of NP drug delivery systems.

Abstract
This study theoretically investigates receptor–ligand-mediated endocytosis of nanoparticles (NPs) in wall shear flow. The endocytosis is modeled as a birth–death process and relationships between coefficients in the model and the wall shear rate have been derived to deal with the effects of the shear flow. Model predictions show that flow-induced alteration in bond formation rates does not affect the endocytosis significantly, and the suppression of hydrodynamic load on endocytosis is eminent only when diameters of NPs are large (around 700[Formula: see text]nm) and the shear rate is sufficiently high. In the latter case, it is shown that the hydrodynamic load suppresses the initial attachment of NPs to cells more than the following internalization. The model also predicts that shear-promoted expression of certain ligands can lead to observable increase in the number of endocytozed NPs in typical flow-chamber experiments, and the promotion can also cause selective endocytosis of NPs by cells at high shear rate regions if the ligand surface density on NPs or the original expression of receptors on cells in the absence of flow is low.

Abstract
While ROS display crucial functions in many physiological processes, elevated ROS levels are also related to the initiation and progression of many severe diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular conditions or neurologic disorders. Research approaches to diminish ROS levels during disease progression are currently being focused on the therapeutic administration of antioxidant enzymes. However, enzyme administration suffers from several limitations including their fast elimination from blood upon administration, thus making crucial the development of enzyme encapsulating platforms. We have recently reported a multicompartment architecture constituted by two inherently different types of materials, i.e., polymeric microgels and liposomes. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) microgels decorated with liposomes and subsequently coated by a protective poly(dopamine) shell (PDA) combine the benefits of both systems while minimizing some of their drawbacks. Herein, we exploit this dual-component platform as a microreactor for ROS depletion. We combine the intrinsic PDA's antioxidant properties with the encapsulation of the catalase enzyme within the liposomal compartments. The surface of the carrier is further functionalised with a poly(ethylene glycol) layer and the low fouling properties are demonstrated in terms of reduction of protein adsorption and cellular uptake. The potential of the carrier as an antioxidant microreactor is shown by its ability to deplete superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide, which can also take place in the presence of the two relevant cell lines.

Abstract
It has long been a central tenet of biomedical research that coating of nanoparticles with hydrated polymers can improve their performance in biomedical applications. However, the efficacy of the approach in vivo is still debated. In vitro model systems to test the performance of engineered nanoparticles for in vivo applications often use nonrepresentative cell lines and conditions for uptake and toxicity tests. We use our platform of monodisperse iron oxide nanoparticles densely grafted with nitrodopamide-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to probe cell interactions with a set of cell types and culture conditions that are relevant for applications in which nanoparticles are injected into the bloodstream. In the past, these particles have proved to have excellent stability and negligible interaction with proteins and membranes under physiological conditions. We test the influence of flow on the uptake of nanoparticles. We also investigate the transport through endothelial barrier cell layers, as well as the effect that PEG-grafted iron oxide nanoparticles have on cell layers relevant for nanoparticles injected into the bloodstream. Our results show that the dense PEG brush and resulting lack of nonspecific protein and membrane interaction lead to negligible cell uptake, toxicity, and transport across barrier layers. These results contrast with far less well-defined polymer-coated nanoparticles that tend to aggregate and consequently strongly interact with cells, for example, by endocytosis.

Abstract
The incidence of lung cancer continues to rise worldwide. Because the aggressive metastasis of lung cancer cells is the major drawback of successful therapies, the crucial challenge of modern nanomedicine is to develop diagnostic tools to map the molecular mechanisms of metastasis in lung cancer patients. In recent years, microfluidic platforms have been given much attention as tools for novel point-of-care diagnostic, an important aspect being the reconstruction of the body organs and tissues mimicking the in vivo conditions in one simple microdevice. Herein, we present the first comprehensive overview of the microfluidic systems used as innovative tools in the studies of lung cancer metastasis including single cancer cell analysis, endothelial transmigration, distant niches migration and finally neoangiogenesis. The application of the microfluidic systems to study the intercellular crosstalk between lung cancer cells and surrounding tumor microenvironment and the connection with multiple molecular signals coming from the external cellular matrix are discussed. We also focus on recent breakthrough technologies regarding lab-on-chip devices that serve as tools for detecting circulating lung cancer cells. The superiority of microfluidic systems over traditional in vitro cell-based assays with regard to modern nanosafety studies and new cancer drug design and discovery is also addressed. Finally, the current progress and future challenges regarding printable and paper-based microfluidic devices for personalized nanomedicine are summarized.

Abstract
Nanomedicines are engineered nanoscale structures that have an extensive range of application in the diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. Despite the rapid progress in and tremendous potential of nanomedicines, their clinical translational process is still slow, owing to the difficulty in understanding, evaluating, and predicting their behavior in complex living organisms. Microfluidic techniques offer a promising way to resolve these challenges. Carefully designed microfluidic chips enable in vivo microenvironment simulation and high-throughput analysis, thus providing robust platforms for nanomedicine evaluation. Here, we summarize the recent developments and achievements in microfluidic methods for nanomedicine evaluation, categorized into four sections based on their target systems: single cell, multicellular system, organ, and organism levels. Finally, we provide our perspectives on the challenges and future directions of microfluidics-based nanomedicine evaluation.

Abstract
Advanced multicompartment drug delivery platforms ensure the co-localization of several drugs within the same carrier, thus making it possible to achieve a more effective and safe therapeutic outcome. Herein, we report a novel multicompartment architecture by combining two intrinsically different systems, i.e., polymeric microgels and liposomes, with the aim to achieve different release kinetics for model compounds. We assemble poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) microgels decorated with liposomes which are subsequently coated with a protective poly(dopamine) shell and a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) layer. Since any intravenous administered drug delivery vehicle will get in contact with the dynamics of the blood flow, we evaluate the stealth properties of this novel multicompartment carrier towards protein adsorption and cellular uptake by three relevant cell lines (macrophages, endothelial and cancer cells) under physiological shear stress conditions. Our results demonstrate less protein adsorption for the PEGylated carriers and differences in the extent of internalized carriers depending on the presence of a PEG coating, the studied cell line and the intensity of the applied shear stress. Additionally, we demonstrate that, for all three tested cell lines, shear stress results in the activation of different cell entry pathways as compared to static conditions. All in all, we report a thorough study about the effect of shear stress on the cell association/uptake with a novel multicompartment carrier.

Abstract
Cell mimicry is an approach which aims at substituting missing or lost activity. In this context, the goal of artificial organelles is to provide intracellularly active nanoreactors to affect the cellular performance. So far, only a handful of reports discuss concepts addressing this challenge based on single-component reactors. Here, the assembly of nanoreactors equipped with glucose oxidase (GOx)-loaded liposomal subunits coated with a poly(dopamine) polymer layer and RGD targeting units is reported. When comparing different surface modifications, the uptake of the nanoreactors by endothelial cells and macrophages with applied shear stress is confirmed without inherent cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the encapsulation and preserved activity of GOx within the nanoreactors is shown. The intracellular activity is demonstrated by exposing macrophages with internalized nanoreactors to glucose and assessment of the cell viability after 6 and 24 h. The macrophage viability is found to be reduced due to the intracellularly produced hydrogen peroxide by GOx. This report on the first intracellular active subcompartmentalized nanoreactors is a considerable step in therapeutic cell mimicry.

Abstract
Since nanoparticles are now widely applied as food additives, in cosmetics and other industries, especially in medical therapy and diagnosis, we ask here whether nanoparticles can cause several adverse effects to human health. In this review, based on research on nanotoxicity, we mainly discuss the negative influence of nanoparticles on blood vessels in several aspects and the potential mechanism for nanoparticles to penetrate endothelial layers of blood vessels, which are the sites of phosphorylation of tight junction proteins (claudins, occludins, and ZO (Zonula occludens)) proteins, oxidative stress and shear stress. We propose a connection between the presence of nanoparticles and the regulation of the tight junction, which might be the key approach for nanoparticles to penetrate endothelial layers and then have an impact on other tissues and organs.

Abstract
The success of polymer coatings for biomedical applications is undeniable. Among the very successful examples are poly(dopamine) (PDA) films due to their simplicity in deposition and beneficial interaction with biomolecules and cells. The aim of this review is to highlight the findings and achievement of PDA in nanomedicine since 2011. We discuss the progress that has been made to elucidate the structure of PDA and novel aspects considering the assembly of PDA-based films on diverse substrates. We highlight the newest results considering the biological evaluation PDA-based coatings to control cell behavior and the use of PDA in biosensing. The popularity of PDA remains unchanged, but the research efforts start to be consolidated toward more specific aims and clinical applications.

Abstract
Over the last decades, researchers have developed an ever greater and more ingenious variety of drug delivery vehicles (DDVs). This has made it possible to encapsulate a wide selection of therapeutic agents, ranging from proteins, enzymes, and peptides to hydrophilic and hydrophobic small drugs while, at the same time, allowing for drug release to be triggered through a diverse range of physical and chemical cues. While these advances are impressive, the field has been lacking behind in translating these systems into the clinic, mainly due to low predictability of in vitro and rodent in vivo models. An important factor within the complex and dynamic human in vivo environment is the shear flow observed within our circulatory system and many other tissues. Within this review, recent advances to leverage microfluidic devices to better mimic these conditions through novel in vitro assays are summarized. By grouping the discussion in three prominent classes of DDVs (lipidic and polymeric particles as well as inorganic nanoparticles), we hope to guide researchers within drug delivery into this exciting field and advance a further implementation of these assay systems within the development of DDVs.

Abstract
Recently, the combination of lipids and block copolymers has become an alternative to liposomes and polymersomes as nano-sized drug carriers. We synthesize novel block copolymers consisting of poly(cholesteryl acrylate) as the hydrophobic core and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) as the hydrophilic extensions. Their successful phospholipid-assisted assembly into vesicles is demonstrated using the evaporation-hydration method. The preserved thermo-responsive property of the lipid-polymer hybrids is shown by a temperature dependent adsorption behaviour of the vesicles to poly(l lysine) coated surfaces. As expected, the vesicle adsorption is found to be higher at elevated temperatures. The cellular uptake efficiency of hybrids is assessed using macrophages with applied shear stress. The amount of adhering macrophages is affected by the time and level of applied shear stress. Further, it is found that shorter PNIPAAm extensions lead to higher uptake of the assemblies by the macrophages with applied shear stress. No inherent cytotoxicity is observed at the tested conditions. Taken together, this first example of responsive lipid-polymer hybrids, and their positive biological evaluation makes them promising nano-sized drug carrier candidates.

Abstract
Engineered polymer films are of significant importance in the field of biomedicine. Poly(dopamine) (PDA) is becoming more and more a key player in this context. Herein, we deposited mixed films consisting of PDA and poly(L-lysine) (PLL) of different molecular weights. The coatings were characterized by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The protein adsorption to the mixed films was found to decrease with increasing amounts of PLL. PDA/PLL capsules were also successfully assembled. Higher PLL content in the membranes reduced their thickness while the ζ-potential increased. Further, endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation over 96 h were found to be independent of the type of coating. Using PDA/PLL in liposome-containing composite coatings showed that sequential deposition of the layers yielded higher liposome trapping compared to one-step adsorption except for negatively charged liposomes. Association/uptake of fluorescent cargo by adherent endothelial cells was found to be different for PDA and PDA/PLL films. Taken together, our findings illustrate the potential of PDA/PLL mixed films as coatings for biomedical applications.

Abstract
We report on the assembly of multi-layered polyelectrolyte thin films containing an immobilized enzyme to perform conversion of externally administered prodrugs and achieve delivery of the resulting therapeutics to adhering cells. Towards this goal, multi-layered coatings were assembled using poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride). Activity of the incorporated enzyme was quantified as a function of the assembly conditions, position of the enzyme within the multi-layered architecture, concentration of the enzyme in the adsorption solution, and concentration of the administered prodrug. Biocatalytic coatings exhibited sustained levels of enzymatic activity over at least one week of incubation in physiological buffers without signs of loss of activity of the enzyme. Developed enzyme-containing polymer films afforded zero-order release of the in situ synthesized cargo with kinetics of synthesis (nM per hour) covering at least 3 orders of magnitude. Internalization of the synthesized product by adhering cells was visualized using a fluorogenic enzyme substrate. Therapeutic utility of biocatalytic coatings was demonstrated using a myoblast cell line and a prodrug for the anti-proliferative agent, 5-fluorouridine. Taken together, this work presents a novel approach to delivery of small molecule drugs using multi-layered polymer thin films with utility in surface-mediated drug delivery, assembly of therapeutic implantable devices, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Biocatalytic surface coatings are prepared herein for localized synthesis of drugs and their on-demand, site-specific delivery to adhering cells. This novel approach is based on the incorporation of an enzyme into multilayered polymer coatings to accomplish enzyme-prodrug therapy (EPT). The build-up of enzyme-containing multilayered coatings is characterized and correlations are drawn between the multilayer film assembly conditions and the enzymatic activity of the resulting coatings. Therapeutic effect elicited by the substrate mediated EPT (SMEPT) strategy is investigated using a prodrug for an anticancer agent, SN-38. The performance of biocatalytic coatings under flow conditions is investigated and it is demonstrated that EPT allows synthesizing the drugs on-demand, at the time desired and in a controllable amount to suit particular applications. Finally, using cells cultured in sequentially connected flow chambers, it is demonstrated that SMEPT affords a site-specific drug delivery, that is, exerts a higher therapeutic effect in cells adhering directly to the biocatalytic coatings than in the cells cultured "downstream". Taken together, these data illustrate biomedical opportunities made possible by engineering tools of EPT into multilayered polymer coatings and present a novel, highly versatile tool for surface mediated drug delivery.
