Abstract
Compared with traditional vaccines, nanoparticulate vaccines are especially suitable for delivering antigens of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids and facilitating lymph node targeting. Moreover, apart from improving pharmacokinetics and safety, nanoparticulate vaccines assist antigens and molecular adjuvants in crossing biological barriers, targeting immune organs and antigen-presenting cells (APC), controlled release, and cross-presentation. However, the process that stimulates and orchestrates the immune response is complicated, involving spatiotemporal interactions of multiple cell types, including APCs, B cells, T cells, and macrophages. The performance of nanoparticulate vaccines also depends on the microenvironments of the target organs or tissues in different populations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop precise nanoparticulate vaccines that accurately regulate vaccine immune response beyond simply improving pharmacokinetics. This Perspective summarizes and highlights the role of nanoparticulate vaccines with precise size, shape, surface charge, and spatial management of antigen or adjuvant for a precision vaccination in regulating the distribution, targeting, and immune response. It also discusses the importance of the rational design of nanoparticulate vaccines based on the anatomical and immunological microstructure of the target tissues. Moreover, the target delivery and controlled release of nanovaccines should be taken into consideration in designing vaccines for achieving precise immune responses. Additionally, it shows that the nanovaccines remodel the suppressed tumor environment and modulate various immune cell responses which are also essential.

Development of a hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose/polyacrylic acid interpolymer complex formulated buccal mucosa adhesive film to facilitate the delivery of insulin for diabetes treatment.

Abstract
Buccal mucosa administration is a promising method for insulin (INS) delivery with good compliance. However, buccal mucosa delivery systems still face challenges of long-term mucosal adhesion, sustained drug release, and mucosal drug penetration. To address these issues, a double-layer film consisting of a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/polyacrylic acid interpolymer complex (IPC)-formulated mucoadhesive layer and an ethylcellulose (EC)-formulated waterproof backing layer (IPC/EC film) was designed. Protamine (PTM) and INS were co-loaded in the mucoadhesive layer of the IPC/EC film (PTM-INS-IPC/EC film). In ex vivo studies with porcine buccal mucosa, this film exhibited robust adhesion, with an adhesion force of 120.2 ± 20.3 N/m2 and an adhesion duration of 491 ± 45 min. PTM has been shown to facilitate INS mucosal transfer. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that the PTM-INS-IPC/EC film significantly improved the absorption of INS, exhibiting a 1.45 and 2.24-fold increase in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞) compared to the INS-IPC/EC film and free INS, respectively. Moreover, the PTM-INS-IPC/EC film effectively stabilized the blood glucose levels of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) rats with post oral glucose administration, maintaining lower glucose levels for approximately 8 h. Hence, the PTM-INS-IPC/EC film provides a promising noninvasive INS delivery system for diabetes treatment.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308731.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has emerged as a potent strategy in cancer treatment, with many approved drugs and modalities in the development stages. Despite its promise, immunotherapy is not without its limitations, including side effects and suboptimal efficacy. Using nanoparticles (NPs) as delivery vehicles to target immunotherapy to lymph nodes (LNs) can improve the efficacy of immunotherapy drugs and reduce side effects in patients. In this context, this paper reviews the development of LN-targeted immunotherapeutic NP strategies, the mechanisms of NP transport during LN targeting, and their related biosafety risks. NP targeting of LNs involves either passive targeting, influenced by NP physical properties, or active targeting, facilitated by affinity ligands on NP surfaces, while alternative methods, such as intranodal injection and high endothelial venule (HEV) targeting, have uncertain clinical applicability and require further research and validation. LN targeting of NPs for immunotherapy can reduce side effects and increase biocompatibility, but risks such as toxicity, organ accumulation, and oxidative stress remain, although strategies such as biodegradable biomacromolecules, polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating, and impurity addition can mitigate these risks. Additionally, this work concludes with a future-oriented discussion, offering critical insights into the field.

Chitosan and sodium alginate nanocarrier system: Controlling the release of rapeseed-derived peptides and improving their therapeutic efficiency of anti-diabetes. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130713. [PMID: 38471612 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130713] [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: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Rapeseed-derived peptides (RPPs) can maintain the homeostasis of human blood glucose by inhibiting Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) and activating the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). However, these peptides are susceptible to hydrolysis in the gastrointestinal tract. To enhance the therapeutic potential of these peptides, we developed a chitosan/sodium alginate-based nanocarrier to encapsulate two RPP variants, rapeseed-derived cruciferin peptide (RCPP) and rapeseed-derived napin peptide (RNPP). A convenient three-channel device was employed to prepare chitosan (CS)/sodium alginate (ALG)-RPPs nanoparticles (CS/ALG-RPPs) at a ratio of 1:3:1 for CS, ALG, and RPPs. CS/ALG-RPPs possessed optimal encapsulation efficiencies of 90.7 % (CS/ALG-RNPP) and 91.4 % (CS/ALG-RCPP), with loading capacities of 15.38 % (CS/ALG-RNPP) and 16.63 % (CS/ALG-RCPP) at the specified ratios. The electrostatic association between CS and ALG was corroborated by zeta potential and near infrared analysis. 13C NMR analysis verified successful RPPs loading, with CS/ALG-RNPP displaying superior stability. Pharmacokinetics showed that both nanoparticles were sustained release and transported irregularly (0.43 < n < 0.85). Compared with the control group, CS/ALG-RPPs exhibited significantly increased glucose tolerance, serum GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1) content, and CaSR expression which play pivotal roles in glucose homeostasis (*p < 0.05). These findings proposed that CS/ALG-RPPs hold promise in achieving sustained release within the intestinal epithelium, thereby augmenting the therapeutic efficacy of targeted peptides.

Abstract
The transfection efficiency and stability of the delivery vehicles of plasmid DNA (pDNA) are critical metrics to ensure high-quality and high-yield production of viral vectors. We previously identified that the optimal size of pDNA/poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) transfection particles is 400-500 nm and developed a bottom-up assembly method to construct stable 400-nm pDNA/PEI particles and benchmarked their transfection efficiency in producing lentiviral vectors (LVVs). Here, we report scale-up production protocols for such transfection particles. Using a two-inlet confined impinging jet (CIJ) mixer with a dual syringe pump set-up, we produced a 1-L batch at a flow rate of 100 mL/min, and further scaled up this process with a larger CIJ mixer and a dual peristaltic pump array, allowing for continuous production at a flow rate of 1 L/min without a lot size limit. We demonstrated the scalability of this process with a 5-L lot and validated the quality of these 400-nm transfection particles against the target product profile, including physical properties, shelf and on-bench stability, transfection efficiency, and LVV production yield in both 15-mL bench culture and 2-L bioreactor runs. These results confirm the potential of this particle assembly process as a scalable manufacturing platform for viral vector production.

Abstract
Oral insulin therapies targeting the liver and further simulating close-looped secretion face significant challenges due to multiple trans-epithelial barriers. Herein, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-decorated zwitterionic nanoparticles (NPs) (UC-CMs@ins) are designed to overcome these barriers, target the liver, and respond to glycemia, thereby achieving oral one-time-per-day therapy. UC-CMs@ins show excellent mucus permeability through the introduction of zwitterion (carboxy betaine, CB). Furthermore, UC-CMs@ins possess superior cellular internalization via proton-assisted amino acid transporter 1 (PAT1, CB-receptor) and apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT, UDCA-receptor) pathways. Moreover, UC-CMs@ins exhibit excellent endolysosomal escape ability and improve the basolateral release of insulin into the bloodstream via the ileal bile acid-binding protein and the heteromeric organic solute transporter (OSTα- OSTβ) routes compared with non-UDCA-decorated C-CMs@ins. Therefore, CB and UDCA jointly overcome mucus and intestinal barriers. Additionally, UC-CMs@ins prevent insulin degradation in the gastrointestinal tract for crosslinked structure, improve insulin accumulation in the liver for UDCA introduction, and effectively regulate glycemia for "closed-loop" glucose control. Surprisingly, oral ingestion of UC-CMs@ins shows a superior effect on glycemia (≈22 h, normoglycemia) and improves postprandial glycemic levels in diabetic mice, illustrating the enormous potential of the prepared NPs as a platform for oral insulin administration in diabetes treatment.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have gained prominence as primary carriers for delivering a diverse array of therapeutic agents. Biological products have achieved a solid presence in clinical settings, and the anticipation of creating novel variants is increasing. These products predominantly encompass therapeutic proteins, nucleic acids and messenger RNA. The advancement of efficient LNP-based delivery systems for biologics that can overcome their limitations remains a highly favorable formulation strategy. Moreover, given their small size, biocompatibility, and biodegradation, LNPs can proficiently transport therapeutic moiety into the cells without significant toxicity and adverse reactions. This is especially crucial for the existing and upcoming biopharmaceuticals since large molecules as a group present several challenges that can be overcome by LNPs. This review describes the LNP technology for the delivery of biologics and summarizes the developments in the chemistry, manufacturing, and characterization of lipids used in the development of LNPs for biologics. Finally, we present a perspective on the potential opportunities and the current challenges pertaining to LNP technology.

Abstract
Marine resources in unique marine environments provide abundant, cost-effective natural biomaterials with distinct structures, compositions, and biological activities compared to terrestrial species. These marine-derived raw materials, including polysaccharides, natural protein components, fatty acids, and marine minerals, etc., have shown great potential in preparing, stabilizing, or modifying multifunctional nano-/micro-systems and are widely applied in drug delivery, theragnostic, tissue engineering, etc. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the most current marine biomaterial-based nano-/micro-systems developed over the past three years, primarily focusing on therapeutic delivery studies and highlighting their potential to cure a variety of diseases. Specifically, we first provided a detailed introduction to the physicochemical characteristics and biological activities of natural marine biocomponents in their raw state. Furthermore, the assembly processes, potential functionalities of each building block, and a thorough evaluation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of advanced marine biomaterial-based systems and their effects on molecular pathophysiological processes were fully elucidated. Finally, a list of unresolved issues and pivotal challenges of marine-derived biomaterials applications, such as standardized distinction of raw materials, long-term biosafety in vivo, the feasibility of scale-up, etc., was presented. This review is expected to serve as a roadmap for fundamental research and facilitate the rational design of marine biomaterials for diverse emerging applications.

Carbohydr Polym 2023; 318:121125. [PMID: 37479456 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Ionotropic gelation (IG) is a highly attractive method for the synthesis of natural water-soluble polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) and sub-micron particles (sMP) due to its relatively simple procedure and the absence of organic solvents. The method involves the electrostatic interaction between two ionic species of opposite charge. Although it is well studied at the laboratory scale, the difficulty to achieve size control in conventional bench-top process is actually a critical aspect of the technology. The aim of this work is to study the membrane dispersion technology in combination with IG as a suitable scalable method for the production of chitosan sub-micron particles (CS-sMPs). The two phases, one containing chitosan (CS) and the other containing sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), were put in contact using a tubular hydrophobic glass membrane with a pore diameter of 1 μm. TPP (dispersed phase) was permeated through the membrane pores into the lumen side along which the CS solution (the continuous phase) flowed in batch recirculation or continuous single-pass operation mode. The influence of chemical variables (i.e. pH, concentration and mass ratio of polyelectrolyte species, emulsifier) and fluid-dynamic parameters (i.e. polyelectrolyte solution flow rate and their relative mass ratio) was studied to precisely tune the size of CS-Ps.

A novel N95 respirator with chitosan nanoparticles: mechanical, antiviral, microbiological and cytotoxicity evaluations. DISCOVER NANO 2023; 18:118.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is known that some sectors of hospitals have high bacteria and virus loads that can remain as aerosols in the air and represent a significant health threat for patients and mainly professionals that work in the place daily. Therefore, the need for a respirator able to improve the filtration barrier of N95 masks and even inactivating airborne virus and bacteria becomes apparent. Such a fact motivated the creation of a new N95 respirator which employs chitosan nanoparticles on its intermediate layer (SN95 + CNP). RESULTS The average chitosan nanoparticle size obtained was 165.20 ± 35.00 nm, with a polydispersity index of 0.36 ± 0.03 and a zeta potential of 47.50 ± 1.70 mV. Mechanical tests demonstrate that the SN95 + CNP respirator is more resistant and meets the safety requisites of aerosol penetration, resistance to breath and flammability, presenting higher potential to filtrate microbial and viral particles when compared to conventional SN95 respirators. Furthermore, biological in vitro tests on bacteria, fungi and mammalian cell lines (HaCat, Vero E6 and CCL-81) corroborate the hypothesis that our SN95 + CNP respirator presents strong antimicrobial activity and is safe for human use. There was a reduction of 96.83% of the alphacoronavirus virus and 99% of H1N1 virus and MHV-3 betacoronavirus after 120 min of contact compared to the conventional respirator (SN95), demonstrating that SN95 + CNP have a relevant potential as personal protection equipment. CONCLUSIONS Due to chitosan nanotechnology, our novel N95 respirator presents improved mechanical, antimicrobial and antiviral characteristics.

Abstract
Chitosan (Cs) was subjected to ball milling and subsequently functionalized with Dinitro salicylic acid (Cs-DNS) to enhance the efficacy of oral insulin delivery. The hydrodynamic spherical particle sizes exhibited 33.29 ± 5.08 nm for modified Cs-DNS NPs. Irrespective of insulin entrapment, zeta potential measurements revealed positively charged Cs-DNS NPs (+ 35 ± 3.5 mV). The entrapment performance (EP%) was evaluated in vitro, and insulin release patterns at various pH levels. The EP% for Cs-DNS NPs was 99.3 ± 1.6. Cs- DNS NPs retained a considerable amount of insulin (92 %) in an acidic medium, and significant quantities were released at increasing pH values over time. In vivo investigations, the diabetic rats which taken insulin-incorporated NPs had lower serum glucose levels (SGL) after 3 h to (39.4 ± 0.6 %) for Cs- DNS NPs. For insulin-incorporated Cs- DNS NPs, the bioavailability (BA%) and pharmacological availability (PA%) were 17.5 ± 0.31 % and 8.6 ± 0.8 %, respectively. The assertion above highlights the significance and effectiveness of modified chitosan in promoting insulin delivery, decreasing SGL levels, and guaranteeing safety.

Abstract
Nature-derived polymers, or biopolymers, are among the most employed materials for the development of nanocarriers. Chitosan (CS) is derived from the acetylation of chitin, and this biopolymer displays features such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and ease of modification. CS-based nano-scale delivery systems have been demonstrated to be promising carriers for drug and gene delivery, and they can provide site-specific delivery of cargo. Owing to the high biocompatibility of CS-based nanocarriers, they can be used in the future in clinical trials. On the other hand, diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that can develop due to a lack of insulin secretion or insulin sensitivity. Recently, CS-based nanocarriers have been extensively applied for DM therapy. Oral delivery of insulin is the most common use of CS nanoparticles in DM therapy, and they improve the pharmacological bioavailability of insulin. Moreover, CS-based nanostructures with mucoadhesive features can improve oral bioavailability of insulin. CS-based hydrogels have been developed for the sustained release of drugs and the treatment of DM complications such as wound healing. Furthermore, CS-based nanoparticles can mediate delivery of phytochemicals and other therapeutic agents in DM therapy, and they are promising compounds for the treatment of DM complications, including nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular diseases, among others. The surface modification of nanostructures with CS can improve their properties in terms of drug delivery and release, biocompatibility, and others, causing high attention to these nanocarriers in DM therapy.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to prepare insulin-loaded nanoparticles using soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) and chitosan (CS) as a potential coating. The nanoparticles were prepared by complex coacervation, and characterized for their particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and encapsulation efficiency. In addition, the insulin release and enzymatic degradation of nanoparticles in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) were evaluated. The results showed that the optimal conditions for preparing insulin-loaded soybean trypsin inhibitor-chitosan (INs-STI-CS) nanoparticles were as follows: CS concentration of 2.0 mg/mL, STI concentration of 1.0 mg/mL, and pH 6.0. The INs-STI-CS nanoparticles prepared at this condition had a high insulin encapsulation efficiency of 85.07%, the particle diameter size was 350 ± 5 nm, and the PDI value was 0.13. The results of the in vitro evaluation of simulated gastrointestinal digestion showed that the prepared nanoparticles could improve the stability of insulin in the gastrointestinal tract. Compared with free insulin, the insulin loaded in INs-STI-CS nanoparticles was retained at 27.71% after 10 h of digestion in the intestinal tract, while free insulin was completely digested. These findings will provide a theoretical basis for improving the stability of oral insulin in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Chitosan is an abundant natural cationic polysaccharide with excellent biodegradability, bioadhesion, and biocompatibility. Chitosan is extensively researched for various particulate oral insulin drug delivery systems. Oral insulin is economically efficient and more convenient than injections, with greater patient compliance. Electrostatic ionic interaction between cationic chitosan and anionic polymer or insulin leads to the formation of spontaneously self-assembled nanoparticles. This simple technique attracted many researchers as it can be carried out quickly in mild conditions without harmful solvents, such as surfactants or chemical cross-linkers that might degrade the insulin structure. The formulated chitosan nanoparticles help to protect the core insulin from enzymatic degradation in the digestive system and improve paracellular intestinal uptake from the enterocytes due to mucoadhesion and reversible tight junction opening. Moreover, functionalized chitosan nanoparticles create newer avenues for targeted and prolonged delivery. This review focuses on modified chitosan-insulin nanoparticles and their implications on oral insulin delivery. Dependent variables and their optimal concentration ranges used in self-assembly techniques for chitosan-insulin nanoparticular synthesis are summarized. This review provides a comprehensive guide to fine-tune the essential factors to formulate stable insulin-chitosan nanoparticles using mild ionic interactions.

Abstract
Colon-targeting delivery of insulin is surging great interests in revolutionizing diabetes. Herein, insulin-loaded starch-based nanocapsules developed by layer-by-layer self-assembly technology were rationally structured. Interactions between starches and the structural changes of the nanocapsules were unraveled to understand in vitro and in vivo insulin release properties. By increasing the deposition layers of starches, the structural compactness of nanocapsules increased and in turn retarded insulin release in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Spherical nanocapsules deposited at least five layers of starches could deliver insulin to the colon in a high efficiency according to the in vitro and in vivo insulin release performance. The underlying mechanism of the insulin colon-targeting release should ascribe to the suitable changes in compactness of the nanocapsules and the interactions between deposited starches after multi-response to the changes in pH, time and enzymes in gastrointestinal tract. Starch molecules interacted with each other much stronger at the intestine than that at the colon, which guaranteed a compact structure in the intestine but a loose structure in the colon for the colon-targeting nanocapsules. It suggested that rather than controlling the deposition layer of the nanocapsules, controlling the interaction between starches could also regulate the structures of the nanocapsules for colon-targeting delivery system.

Abstract
Over the past decade, smart and functional biomaterials have escalated as one of the most rapidly emerging fields in the life sciences because the performance of biomaterials could be improved by careful consideration of their interaction and response with the living systems. Thus, chitosan could play a crucial role in this frontier field because it possesses many beneficial properties, especially in the biomedical field such as excellent biodegradability, hemostatic properties, antibacterial activity, antioxidant properties, biocompatibility, and low toxicity. Furthermore, chitosan is a smart and versatile biopolymer due to its polycationic nature with reactive functional groups that allow the polymer to form many interesting structures or to be modified in various ways to suit the targeted applications. In this review, we provide an up-to-date development of the versatile structures of chitosan-based smart biomaterials such as nanoparticles, hydrogels, nanofibers, and films, as well as their application in the biomedical field. This review also highlights several strategies to enhance biomaterial performance for fast growing fields in biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems, bone scaffolds, wound healing, and dentistry.

Abstract
Diabetes patients cannot complete effective blood glucose regulation due to their impaired pancreatic function. At present, subcutaneous insulin injection is the only treatment for patients with type 1 and severe type 2 diabetes. However, long-term subcutaneous injection will cause patients with intense physical pain and lasting psychological burden. In addition, subcutaneous injection will lead to hypoglycemia risk to a large extent because of the uncontrollable release of insulin. In this work, we developed a glucose-sensitive microneedle patch based on phenylboronic acid (PBA)-modified chitosan (CS) particles and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) hydrogel for the efficient delivery of insulin. Meanwhile, through the double glucose-sensitive response process of CS-PBA particle and external hydrogel, the sudden release of insulin was well restrained, and a more persistent blood glucose control was achieved. Finally, the painless, minimally invasive, and efficient treatment effect of the glucose-sensitive microneedle patch indicated its great advantages as a new generation of injection therapy.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disorder, which is ultimately treated by the insulin (INS). However, the subcutaneous (s. c.) injection of insulin solution faces the problems of pain and unsatisfactory patient compliance. In this study, the long-acting formulations of insulin are propsed to treat the T2DM and prevent the associated complications. The chitosan (CS) and/or branched polyethyleneimine (bPEI) nanoparticles (bPEI-INS NPs, CS-bPEI-INS NPs) were constructed to load insulin. The long -acting nanoparticles successfully achieved the sustained release of the INS in vitro and in vivo. After s. c. administration, the CS-bPEI-INS NPs greatly improved the INS bioavailability. As a result, the CS-bPEI-INS NPs produced sustained glucose-lowering effects, promising short-term and long-term hypoglycemic efficacy in the T2DM model. Furthermore, the treatment of the CS-bPEI-INS NPs greatly protected the islet in the pancreas and prevented the associated complications of the T2DM, such as cardiac fibrosis in the myocardial interstitium and the perivascular area. In a word, the CS-bPEI-INS NPs was an encouraging long-acting formulation of insulin and had great potential in the treatment of T2DM.

Abstract
Drug degradation at low pH and rapid clearance from intestinal absorption sites are the main factors limiting the development of oral macromolecular delivery systems. Based on the pH responsiveness and mucosal adhesion of hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDM), we prepared three HA–PDM nano-delivery systems loaded with insulin (INS) using three different molecular weights (MW) of HA (L, M, H), respectively. The three types of nanoparticles (L/H/M-HA–PDM–INS) had uniform particle sizes and negatively charged surfaces. The optimal drug loadings of the L-HA–PDM–INS, M-HA–PDM–INS, H-HA–PDM–INS were 8.69 ± 0.94%, 9.11 ± 1.03%, and 10.61 ± 1.16% (w/w), respectively. The structural characteristics of HA–PDM–INS were determined using FT-IR, and the effect of the MW of HA on the properties of HA–PDM–INS was investigated. The release of INS from H-HA–PDM–INS was 22.01 ± 3.84% at pH 1.2 and 63.23 ± 4.10% at pH 7.4. The protective ability of HA–PDM–INS with different MW against INS was verified by circular dichroism spectroscopy and protease resistance experiments. H-HA–PDM–INS retained 45.67 ± 5.03% INS at pH 1.2 at 2 h. The biocompatibility of HA–PDM–INS, regardless of the MW of HA, was demonstrated using CCK-8 and live–dead cell staining. Compared with the INS solution, the transport efficiencies of L-HA–PDM–INS, M-HA–PDM–INS, and H-HA–PDM–INS increased 4.16, 3.81, and 3.10 times, respectively. In vivo pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies were performed in diabetic rats following oral administration. H-HA–PDM–INS exhibited an effective hypoglycemic effect over a long period, with relative bioavailability of 14.62%. In conclusion, these simple, environmentally friendly, pH-responsive, and mucoadhesive nanoparticles have the potential for industrial development. This study provides preliminary data support for oral INS delivery.

Abstract
Calcium overload is one of the early determinants of the core cellular events that contribute to the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI), which include oxidative stress, ATP depletion, calcium overload, and inflammatory response with self-amplifying and interactive feedback loops that ultimately lead to cellular injury and renal failure. Excluding adjuvant therapy, there are currently no approved pharmacotherapies for the treatment of AKI. Using an adipic dihydride linker, we modified the hyaluronic acid polymer chain with a potent antioxidant, bilirubin, to produce an amphiphilic conjugate. Subsequently, we developed a kidney-targeted and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive drug delivery system based on the flash nanocomplexation method to deliver a well-known intracellular calcium chelator, 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid acetoxymethyl ester (BAPTA-AM, BA), with the goal of rescuing renal cell damage via rapidly scavenging of intracellularly overloaded Ca2+. In the ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) induced AKI rat model, a single dose of as-prepared formulation (BA 100 μg·kg-1) 6 h post-reperfusion significantly reduced renal function indicators by more than 60% within 12 h, significantly alleviated tissular pathological changes, ameliorated tissular oxidative damage, significantly inhibited apoptosis of renal tubular cells and the expression of renal tubular marker kidney injury molecule 1, etc., thus greatly reducing the risk of kidney failure. Mechanistically, the treatment with BA-loaded NPs significantly inhibited the activation of the ER stress cascade response (IRE1-TRAF2-JNK, ATF4-CHOP, and ATF6 axis) and regulated the downstream apoptosis-related pathway while also reducing the inflammatory response. The BA-loaded NPs hold great promise as a potential therapy for I/R injury-related diseases.

Abstract
Oral drug delivery is considered the most preferred mode of treatment because of its high patient compliance and minimal invasiveness. However, the oral delivery of protein drug has been a difficult problem which restricts its application due to the unstable and inefficient penetration of protein in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, a novel OCMC/SA nanohydrogel was prepared by using of O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OCMC) and sodium alginate (SA) to solve the problem. The OCMC/SA had a typical nanostructure, which was helpful to increase the specific surface area and enhanced the bioavailability of the drugs. OCMC/SA had a high drug loading capacity and realized passive drug targeting function by responding to the different pH value of the microenvironment. It could have a certain protective effect on drugs in strong acid circumstances, while its structure got loosed and effectively released drugs in intestinal circumstances. OCMC/SA could release the drug for >12 h, and the released insulin could maintain high activity. OCMC/SA nanohydrogel showed promising results in type 1 diabetic rats, and its pharmacological bioavailability was 6.57 %. In conclusion, this study constructed a novel OCMC/SA nanohydrogel, which had a lot of exciting characteristics and provided a new strategy for oral drug delivery.

Abstract
CpG, an agonist of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), has become a novel adjuvant that substantially potentiates cellular immunity. However, this agonist may increase systemic toxicity by diffusing into blood after administration and is difficult to be internalized by immune cells to reach TLR9 located in endosomes as a result of the characteristics of negative charge of CpG. Here, we applied a scalable and controllable flash nanocomplexation technology to prepare nanoparticulate CpG adjuvant (npCpG), CpG encapsulated in a physical cross-linking network of protamine and TPP. The nanoadjuvant could redirect CpG into draining lymph nodes to reduce systemic diffusion to improve safety. Further, a combination of npCpG and influenza H1N1 hemagglutinin antigen showed excellent humoral and cellular immunity, evoking high levels of antibodies and cytokines and inducing a great expansion of splenocytes in immunized mice. Also, the nanoadjuvant combined with ovalbumin antigen led to a potent cytotoxic T-cell response, substantially inhibited tumor growth, and improved the survival rate of mice in a melanoma model. This study showed the universal performances of npCpG in infectious disease prevention and tumor immunotherapy to demonstrate the translational potential.

Abstract
Subcutaneous administration of insulin has been practiced for the clinical supervision of diabetes pathogenesis but it is often ineffective to imitate the glucose homeostasis and is always invasive. Therefore, it causes patient discomfort and infection of local tissue. These issues lead to finding an alternative route for insulin delivery that could be effective, promising, and non-invasive. However, delivery of insulin orally is the most suitable route but the rapid breakdown of insulin by the gastrointestinal enzymes becomes a major barrier to this method. Therefore, nanocarriers (which guard insulin against degradation and facilitate its uptake) are preferred for oral insulin delivery. Among various categories of nanocarriers, bio-polymeric nanocarriers draw special attention owing to their hydrophilic, non-toxic, and biodegradable nature. This review provides a detailed overview of insulin-loaded biopolymer-based nanocarriers, which give future direction in the optimization and development of a clinically functional formulation for their effective and safe delivery.

Abstract
Chitosan-based nanoparticles (CNPs) are widely used in drug delivery, cosmetics formulation and food applications. To accelerate the manufacturing of CNPs, the present study develops a workflow to prepare CNPs in continues model. Based on machine learning, the workflow precisely predicts size and polymer dispersity index (PDI) value of CNPs, which impacts on the colloidal stability and applications. Multi-inlet vortex mixer (MIVM) device was fabricated by 3D printing as the reactor. Peristaltic pump was applied to deliver the reaction streams into the MIVM device and produce CNPs by flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) in continuous way. The developed MIVM device produces CNPs in controlled manner at higher output which is promising for upscale applications. Twelve machine learning algorithms were employed to investigate the potential relationship between the reaction independent variables and hydrodynamic characteristics of CNPs. Random Forest, Decision Tree, Extra Tree and Bagging algorithms performed better than other algorithms with the average prediction accuracy around 90 %. The current study demonstrated that supervised machine learning guided FNP using the developed MIVM device is an effective strategy for accurate and intelligent production of CNPs and other similar nanoparticles.

Abstract
Isoleucine-Proline-Proline (IPP) and Leucine-Lysine-Proline (LKP) are food-derived tripeptides whose antihypertensive functions have been demonstrated in hypertensive rat models. However, peptides display low oral bioavailability due to poor intestinal epithelial permeability and instability. IPP and LKP were formulated into nanoparticles (NP) using chitosan (CL113) via ionotropic gelation and then coated with zein. Following addition of zein, a high encapsulation efficiency (EE) (>80%) was obtained for the NP. In simulated gastric fluid (SGF), 20% cumulative release of the peptides was achieved after 2 h, whereas in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF), ~90% cumulative release was observed after 6 h. Higher colloidal stability (39−41 mV) was observed for the coated NP compared to uncoated ones (30−35 mV). In vitro cytotoxicity studies showed no reduction in cellular viability of human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 and HepG2 liver cells upon exposure to NP and NP components. Administration of NP encapsulating IPP and LKP by oral gavage to spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) attenuated systolic blood pressure (SBP) for 8 h. This suggests that the NP provide appropriate release to achieve prolonged hypotensive effects in vivo. In conclusion, chitosan-zein nanoparticles (CZ NP) have potential as oral delivery system for the encapsulation of IPP and LKP.

Abstract
In recent years, natural polysaccharides have been considered as the ideal candidates for novel drug delivery systems because of their good biocompatibility, biodegradation, low immunogenicity, renewable source and easy modification. These natural polymers are widely used in the designing of nanocarriers, which possess wide applications in therapeutics, diagnostics, delivery and protection of bioactive compounds or drugs. A great deal of studies could be focused on developing polysaccharide nanoparticles and promoting their application in various fields, especially in biomedicine. In this review, a variety of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers were introduced, including nanoliposomes, nanoparticles, nanomicelles, nanoemulsions and nanohydrogels, focusing on the latest research progress of these nanocarriers in the treatment of diabetes and the possible strategies for further study of polysaccharide nanocarriers.

Abstract
Vaccines have saved millions of humans and animals from deadly diseases. Many vaccines are still under development to fight against lethal diseases. Indeed, subunit vaccines are a versatile approach with several advantageous attributes, but they lack strong immunogenicity. Nanotechnology is an avenue to vaccine development because nanoparticles may serve as nanocarriers and adjuvants, which are critical aspects for oral vaccines. This review provides an update of oral organic nanovaccines, describing suitable nanomaterials for oral vaccine design and recent (last five-year view) oral nanovaccine developments to fight against those principal pathogens causing human and animal diseases.

Production of high loading insulin nanoparticles suitable for oral delivery by spray drying and freeze drying techniques. Sci Rep 2022; 12:9949.

Abstract
Insulin nanoparticles (NPs) with high loading content have found diverse applications in different dosage forms. This work aimed to evaluate the impact of freeze-drying and spray drying process on the structures of insulin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles, with or without mannitol as cryoprotectants. We also assessed the quality of these nanoparticles by redissolving them. Before dehydration, the chitosan/sodium tripolyphosphate/insulin crosslinked nanoparticles were optimized to 318 nm of particle size, 0.18 of PDI, 99.4% of entrapment efficiency, and 25.01% of loading content. After reconstitution, all nanoparticles, except the one produced by the freeze-drying method without using mannitol, maintained their spherical particle structure. The nanoparticles dehydrated by spray drying without mannitol also showed the smallest mean particle size (376 nm) and highest loading content (25.02%) with similar entrapment efficiency (98.7%) and PDI (0.20) compared to mannitol-containing nanoparticles dehydrated by either spray drying or freeze-drying techniques. The nanoparticles dried by spray drying without mannitol also resulted in the fastest release and highest cellular uptake efficacy of insulin. This work shows that spray drying can dehydrate insulin nanoparticles without the need for cryoprotectants, creating a significant advantage in terms of greater loading capacity with lower additive requirements and operating costs as compared to conventional freeze drying approaches.

Abstract
The complexation of carboxymethyl short-chain amylose (CSA) and hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) and the stability of CSA/HACC nanocomplex were investigated. Resonance light scattering (RLS), turbidity, nanoparticle size and zeta potential analyses revealed that the complex coacervation occurred between CSA and HACC. The mass ratio and pH markedly influenced the complexation behavior; CSA with a higher degree of substitution (DS0.2) altered the complexation at a lower mass ratio and pH, increasing the turbidity and RLS intensity. The results of particle size and zeta potential analyses indicated that CSA/HACC complexes possessed the good pH and ionic strength stability. In addition to electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic effects were also determined to be involved in the complexation process using thermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Additionally, the process was spontaneous, and CSA with a higher DS showed stronger complexation ability. These results may enable the understanding of polysaccharide complex behaviors.

Abstract
Despite tremendous efforts, the world continues its fight against the common chronic disease-diabetes. Diabetes is caused by elevated glucose levels in the blood, which can lead to several complications like glaucoma, cataract, kidney failure, diabetic ketoacidosis, heart attack, and stroke. According to recent statistics, China, India, and the US rank at the top three positions with regards to the number of patients affected by diabetes. Ever since its discovery, insulin is one of the major therapeutic molecules that is used to control the disease in the diabetic population, worldwide. The most common route of insulin administration has been the subcutaneous route. However, the limitations associated with this route have motivated global efforts to explore alternative strategies to deliver insulin, including pulmonary, transdermal, nasal, rectal, buccal, and oral routes. Oral insulin delivery is the most convenient and patient-centered route. However, the oral route is also associated with numerous drawbacks that present significant challenges to the scientific fraternity. The human physiological system acts as a formidable barrier to insulin, limiting its bioavailability. The present review covers the major barriers against oral insulin delivery and explains formulation strategies that have been adopted to overcome these barriers. The review focuses on oral insulin delivery strategies (OIDS) for increasing the bioavailability of oral insulin, including nanoparticles, microparticles, nano-in-microparticles, hydrogels, tablets, capsules, intestinal patches, and use of ionic liquids. It also highlights some of the notable recent advancements and clinical trials in oral insulin delivery. This formulation based OIDS may significantly improve patient compliance in the treatment of diabetes.

Scalable Manufacture of Curcumin-Loaded Chitosan Nanocomplex for pH-Responsive Delivery by Coordination-Driven Flash Nanocomplexation. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14112133.

Abstract
Metal coordination-driven nanocomplexes are known to be responsive to physiologically relevant stimuli such as pH, redox, temperature or light, making them well-suited for antitumor drug delivery. The ever-growing demand for such nanocomplexes necessitates the design of a scalable approach for their production. In this study, we demonstrate a novel coordination self-assembly strategy, termed flash nanocomplexation (FNC), which is rapid and efficient for the fabrication of drug-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) in a continuous manner. Based on this strategy, biocompatible chitosan (CS) and Cu2+ can be regarded anchors to moor the antitumor drug (curcumin, Cur) through coordination, resulting in curcumin-loaded chitosan nanocomplex (Cur-loaded CS nanocomplex) with a narrow size distribution (PDI < 0.124) and high drug loading (up to 41.75%). Owing to the excellent stability of Cur-loaded CS nanocomplex at neutral conditions (>50 days), premature Cur leakage was limited to lower than 1.5%, and pH-responsive drug release behavior was realized in acidic tumor microenvironments. An upscaled manufacture of Cur-loaded CS nanocomplex is demonstrated with continuous FNC, which shows an unprecedented method toward practical applications of nanomedicine for tumor therapy. Furthermore, intracellular uptake study and cytotoxicity experiments toward H1299 cells demonstrates the satisfied anticancer efficacy of the Cur-loaded CS nanocomplex. These results confirm that coordination-driven FNC is an effective method that enables the rapid and scalable fabrication of antitumor drugs.

Abstract
Zein- and chitosan-based nanoparticles have been described as promising carrier systems for food, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. However, the manufacture of size-controlled zein and chitosan particles is challenging. In this study, an adapted anti-solvent nanoprecipitation method was developed. The effects of the concentration of zein and chitosan and the pH of the collection solution on the properties of the zein–honey–chitosan nanoparticles were investigated. Flash nanoprecipitation was demonstrated as a rapid, scalable, single-step method to achieve the self-assembly of zein–honey–chitosan nanoparticles. The nanoparticles size was tuned by varying certain formulation parameters, including the total concentration and ratio of the polymers. The zein–honey–chitosan nanoparticles’ hydrodynamic diameter was below 200 nm and the particles were stable for 30 days. Vitamin C was used as a hydrophilic model substance and efficiently encapsulated into these nanoparticles. This study opens a promising pathway for one-step producing zein–honey–chitosan nanoparticles by flash nanoprecipitation for hydrophilic compounds’ encapsulation.

Abstract
Peptide drugs play an important role in diabetes mellitus treatment. Oral administration of peptide drugs is a promising strategy for diabetes mellitus because of its convenience and high patient compliance compared to parenteral administration routes. However, there are a series of formidable unfavorable conditions present in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after oral administration, which result in the low oral bioavailability of these peptide drugs. To overcome these challenges, various nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed to improve the oral absorption of peptide drugs due to their unique in vivo properties and high design flexibility. This review discusses the unfavorable conditions present in the GI tract and provides the corresponding strategies to overcome these challenges. The review provides a comprehensive overview on the NPs that have been constructed for oral peptide drug delivery in diabetes mellitus treatment. Finally, we will discuss the rational application and give some suggestions that can be utilized for the development of oral peptide drug NPs. Our aim is to provide a systemic and comprehensive review of oral peptide drug NPs that can overcome the challenges in GI tract for efficient treatment of diabetes mellitus. •Oral administration of peptide drugs is a promising strategy for diabetes mellitus treatment •A series of formidable unfavorable conditions in gastrointestinal tract result in the low oral bioavailability of peptide drugs •Nanoparticles can improve the oral bioavailability of peptide drugs

Abstract
Vaccines can improve the quality of human life by preventing the burden of infectious diseases. Also, vaccination is becoming a powerful medication for preventing and treating tumors. Various vaccines have been developed based on the origin of the antigens. Herein, we focus on the subunit vaccines whose antigens are proteins or peptides. The advantage of subunit vaccines is safety for recipients; however, the immunogenicity of subunit antigens is relatively low. Nanoparticular delivery systems have been applied to improve the immunocompetence of subunit vaccines by targeting lymph nodes, and effectively present antigens to immune cells. Moreover, adding appropriate molecular adjuvants may strengthen the antigens to elicit immune response. In this perspective article, we first elucidate the characteristics of immunity induced by subunit nanovaccines and then summarize the strategies to fabricate subunit nanovaccines with delivering materials. Herein we highlight non-covalent interaction to fabricate nanoparticular subunit vaccines.

The upregulated intestinal folate transporters direct the uptake of ligand-modified nanoparticles for enhanced oral insulin delivery. Acta Pharm Sin B 2022; 12:1460-1472.

Abstract
Transporters are traditionally considered to transport small molecules rather than large-sized nanoparticles due to their small pores. In this study, we demonstrate that the upregulated intestinal transporter (PCFT), which reaches a maximum of 12.3-fold expression in the intestinal epithelial cells of diabetic rats, mediates the uptake of the folic acid-grafted nanoparticles (FNP). Specifically, the upregulated PCFT could exert its function to mediate the endocytosis of FNP and efficiently stimulate the traverse of FNP across enterocytes by the lysosome-evading pathway, Golgi-targeting pathway and basolateral exocytosis, featuring a high oral insulin bioavailability of 14.4% in the diabetic rats. Conversely, in cells with relatively low PCFT expression, the positive surface charge contributes to the cellular uptake of FNP, and FNP are mainly degraded in the lysosomes. Overall, we emphasize that the upregulated intestinal transporters could direct the uptake of ligand-modified nanoparticles by mediating the endocytosis and intracellular trafficking of ligand-modified nanoparticles via the transporter-mediated pathway. This study may also theoretically provide insightful guidelines for the rational design of transporter-targeted nanoparticles to achieve efficient drug delivery in diverse diseases.

Abstract
Oral administration of insulin faces multiple biological challenges, such as varied digestive environments, mucin exclusion and low epithelial cells absorption. In the present study, a hyaluronic acid coated chitosan nanoparticle delivery system was fabricated for insulin oral delivery. It is hypothesized that the developed nanoparticles will protect insulin from digestive degradation, promote intestinal epithelial cell absorption and exert strong in vivo hyperglycemic ability. Nanoparticles formulated by chitosan (CS) and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) was optimized to form the core nanoparticles (CNP). Hyaluronic acid (HA) was further applied to coat CNP (HCP) to improve stability, reduce enzymatic degradation and promote absorption of insulin. HCP promoted insulin uptake by Caco-2 cells, absorbed less mucin and improved intestinal absorption. Moreover, in vivo test demonstrated that oral administration of insulin-loaded HCP exerts strong and continuous hyperthermia effect (with PA of 13.8%). In summary, HCP is a promising delivery platform for insulin oral administration in terms of protecting insulin during digestion, facilitating its absorption and ultimately promoting its oral bioavailability.

Abstract
The macroalgae-derived polysaccharides' biological potential has been explored due to their attractive intrinsic properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and their ability to conjugate with other compounds. In particular, in the drug delivery systems field, the anionic macroalgae polysaccharides have been combined with cationic compounds through ionotropic gelation and/or bulk mixing. However, these techniques did not assure reproducibility, and the stability of nanoparticles is undesired. To overcome these limitations, herein, the polysaccharide extracted from Osmundea sp. was used to produce nanoparticles through the flash nanocomplexation technique. This approach rapidly mixed the negative charge of macroalgae polysaccharide with a positive chitosan charge on a millisecond timescale. Further, diclofenac (an anti-inflammatory drug) was also incorporated into complex nanoparticles. Overall, the gathered data showed that hydrodynamic diameter nanoparticles values lower than 100 nm, presenting a narrow size distribution and stability. Also, the diclofenac exhibited a targeted and sustained release profile in simulating inflammatory conditions. Likewise, the nanoparticles showed excellent biological properties, evidencing their suitability to be used to treat inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a green method to fabricate a novel CS modified N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)- methacrylamide conjugate (CSNHMA) and to evaluate its biomedical potential. CSNHMA has been prepared by a simple method via aza Michael addition reaction between CS and N- (4-hydroxyphenyl)-methacrylamide (NHMA) in ethanol. Its structural and morphological properties were characterized by various analysis techniques. The obtained results confirmed that a highly porous network structure of CSNHMA was successfully synthesized via aza Michael addition reaction. Consequently, it was analyzed as a drug and gene carrier. CSNHMA/pGL3 showed an enhanced buffering capacity due to the presence of NHMA moiety leading to higher transfection efficiency in all cancer cells (A549, HeLa and HepG2) as compared to native CS and Lipofectamine®. Therefore, these findings clearly support the possibility of using CSNHMA as a good transfection agent. For in vitro drug release study, we prepared CSNHMA nanoparticles (NPs) and curcumin loaded CSNHMA NPs of size <230 nm respectively via the non-toxic ionic gelation route and the encapsulation efficiency of drug was found to be 77.03%. In vitro drug release studies demonstrated a faster and sustained release of curcumin loaded CSNHMA NPs at pH 5.0 compared to physiological pH.

Kinetic control of Phytic acid/Lixisenatide/Fe (III) ternary nanoparticles assembly process for sustained peptide release. Int J Pharm 2022; 611:121317. [PMID: 34838624 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.121317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
The preferable choice of sustained peptide delivery systems is generally polymer-based microspheres in which their large particle size, wide size distribution, low drug encapsulation efficacy, poor colloidal stability, and undesirable burst release eventually hinder their clinical translation. In this study, a nanoscale ternary Lixisenatide (Lix) sustained delivery system based on strong multivalent interactions (electrostatic and coordination complexation) among small molecular phytic acid (PA), Lix and Fe3+ was developed. Flash nanocomplexation (FNC) was utilized to facilitate the rapid and efficient mixing of the three components and kinetically control the assembly process that enabled dynamic balance of two competitive chemical reactions with different kinetic rates (slow chemical reaction of PA/Lix and fast chemical reaction of PA/Fe3+) to generate structural uniform ternary nanoparticles and avoid heterogeneous complexes. By tuning the mixing conditions (i.e., flow rate, mass ratio, concentration, pH value, etc.), the ternary PA/Lix/Fe3+ nanoparticles were assembled with reproducible production in a manner of high uniformity and scalability, achieving small size (∼50 nm), uniform composition (PDI: ∼0.12), favourable colloidal stability, high encapsulation efficiency (∼100%), and tunable drug release kinetics. The optimized formulation exhibited a minor Lix release (<20%) in the first day and extended peptide release period over 8 days. Unexpectedly, upon a single injection administration, the as-prepared formulation (600 μg/kg) rapidly brought the high BGL (∼30 mmol/L) back to normal range (<10 mmol/L) within the initial 6 h and achieved a 180 h glycemic control in T2D mouse model. Moreover, this sustained peptide delivery system demonstrated a repeatable hypoglycemic effects and significantly suppressed the pathological damage of major organs following multiple injection. This sustained peptide delivery system with aqueous, facile and reproducible preparation process possesses good biocompatibility, tunable release kinetics, and prolonged hypoglycemic effects, portending its great translational potential in the chronic disease treatment.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) refers to a group of metabolic disorders that are characterized by hyperglycemia. Oral subcutaneously administered antidiabetic drugs such as insulin, glipalamide, and metformin can temporarily balance blood sugar levels, however, long-term administration of these therapies is associated with undesirable side effects on the kidney and liver. In addition, due to overproduction of reactive oxygen species and hyperglycemia-induced macrovascular system damage, diabetics have an increased risk of complications. Fortunately, recent advances in nanomaterials have provided new opportunities for diabetes therapy and diagnosis. This review provides a panoramic overview of the current nanomaterials for the detection of diabetic biomarkers and diabetes treatment. Apart from diabetic sensing mechanisms and antidiabetic activities, the applications of these bioengineered nanoparticles for preventing several diabetic complications are elucidated. This review provides an overall perspective in this field, including current challenges and future trends, which may be helpful in informing the development of novel nanomaterials with new functions and properties for diabetes diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Advances in nanotechnology have generated a broad range of nanoparticles (NPs) for numerous biomedical applications. Among the various properties of NPs are functionalities being related to thiol substructures. Numerous biological processes that are mediated by cysteine or cystine subunits of proteins representing the workhorses of the bodies can be transferred to NPs. This review focuses on the interface between thiol chemistry and NPs. Pros and cons of different techniques for thiolation of NPs are discussed. Furthermore, the various functionalities gained by thiolation are highlighted. These include overall bio- and mucoadhesive, cellular uptake enhancing, and permeation enhancing properties. Drugs being either covalently attached to thiolated NPs via disulfide bonds or being entrapped in thiolated polymeric NPs that are stabilized via inter- and intrachain crosslinking can be released at the diseased tissue or in target cells under reducing conditions. Moreover, drugs, targeting ligands, biological analytes, and enzymes bearing thiol substructures can be immobilized on noble metal NPs and quantum dots for therapeutic, theranostic, diagnostic, biosensing, and analytical reasons. Within this review a concise summary and analysis of the current knowledge, future directions, and potential clinical use of thiolated NPs are provided.

Abstract
Advanced biomaterials provide an interesting and versatile platform to implement new and more effective strategies to fight bacterial infections. Chitosan is one of these biopolymers and possesses relevant features for biomedical applications. Here we synthesized nanoparticles of chitosan derivatized with diethylaminoethyl groups (ChiDENPs) to emulate the choline residues in the pneumococcal cell wall and act as ligands for choline-binding proteins (CBPs). Firstly, we assessed the ability of diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) to sequester the CBPs present in the bacterial surface, thus promoting chain formation. Secondly, the CBP-binding ability of ChiDENPs was purposed to encapsulate a bio-active molecule, the antimicrobial enzyme Cpl-711 (ChiDENPs-711), with improved stability over non-derivatized chitosan. The enzyme-loaded system released more than 90% of the active enzybiotic in ≈ 2 h, above the usual in vivo half-life of this kind of enzymes. Therefore, ChiDENPs provide a promising platform for the controlled release of CBP-enzybiotics in biological contexts.

Abstract
Since chitosan's excellent pharmacokinetic and chemical properties, it is an attractive and promising carbohydrate biopolymer in biomedical applications. Chitosan's beneficial function in the defense and propagation of pancreatic β cells, reducing hyperglycemia, and avoiding diabetes mellitus associated with impaired lipid metabolism has been demonstrated in several studies. Additionally, chitosan has also been used in various nanocarriers to deliver various antidiabetic drugs to reduce glucose levels. Herein, the first to provide the currently available potential benefits of chitosan in diabetes mellitus treatment focuses on chitosan-based nanocarriers for oral administration of various antidiabetic drugs nasal and subcutaneous passages. Moreover, chitosan is used to activate and deliver stem cells and differentiate them into cells similar to pancreatic beta cells as a new type of treatment for type one diabetes mellitus. The results of this review will be helpful in the development of promising treatments and better control of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Macromolecular therapeutics of biological origin, also known as biologics, have become one of the fastest-growing classes of drugs for management of a range of chronic and acute conditions. The majority of approved biologics are administered via the parenteral route and are thus expensive, have low patient compliance, and have high systemic toxicity. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of carriers for oral delivery of biologics. This review evaluates key chemical (e.g. pH and enzymes) and physiological challenges to oral biologics delivery. We review the conventional formulation strategies and their limitations, followed by a detailed account of the progress on the use of nanocarriers used for oral biologics delivery, covering organic and inorganic nanocarriers. Lastly, we discuss limitations and opportunities presented by these emerging nanomaterials in oral biologics delivery.

Abstract
Nanoscale polyelectrolyte complex materials have been extensively investigated for their promising application in protocell, drug carriers, imaging, and catalysis. However, the conventional preparation approach involving positive and negative polyelectrolytes leads to large size, wide size distribution, instability, and aggregation due to the nonhomogeneous mixing process. Herein, we employ reactive flash nanoprecipitation (RFNP) to control the mixing and preparation of the nanoscale polyelectrolyte complex. With RFNP, homogeneous mixing complexation between oppositely charged chitosan derivatives could be achieved, resulting in stable nanoscale complexes (NCs) with controllable size and narrow size distribution. The smallest size of NCs is found at specific pH due to the maximum attraction of positive and negative molecules of chitosan. The size can be modulated by altering the volumetric flow rates of inlet streams, concentration, and charge molar ratio of two oppositely charged chitosan derivatives. The charge molar ratio is also tuned to create NCs with positive and negative shells. There is no significant variation in the size of NCs produced at different intervals of time. This method allows continuous and tunable NC production and could have the potential for fast, practical translation.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease in the world. Herein, insulin- and cholic acid-loaded zein nanoparticles with dextran surfaces were fabricated to enhance the oral absorptions of insulin in the intestine and in the liver which is the primary action organ of endogenous insulin. In the nanoparticles, zein acted as cement to embed insulin, cholic acid and casein by hydrophobic interactions. The hydrophilic dextran conjugated to casein by the Maillard reaction was located on the nanoparticle surface. The nanoparticles had an insulin loading efficiency of 74.6%, a cholic acid loading efficiency of 55.1% and a hydrodynamic diameter of 267 nm. The dextran significantly increased the disperse stability of the nanoparticles, protected the loaded insulin from hydrolysis in digestive juices, and increased the trans-mucus permeability of the insulin. The embedded cholic acid molecules were consecutively exposed to the surface when the nanoparticles were gradually eroded by proteases. The exposed cholic acid promoted the absorptions of the nanoparticles in the ileum and liver via bile acid transporters. The effect of pretreated lymphatic transport inhibitor cycloheximide revealed that about half of the nanoparticles were transported via the intestinal lymphatic transport pathway and the other half of the nanoparticles were transported via portal blood absorption. The oral pharmacological bioavailability of the nanoparticles in type I diabetic mice was 12.5-20.5%. This study demonstrates that nanoparticles are a promising oral delivery system for insulin.

Abstract
Polysaccharide biomaterials have gained significant importance in the manufacture of nanoparticles used in colon-targeted drug delivery systems. These systems are a form of non-invasive oral therapy used in the treatment of various diseases. To achieve successful colonic delivery, the chemical, enzymatic and mucoadhesive barriers within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract must be analyzed. This will allow for the nanomaterials to cross these barriers and reach the colon. This review provides information on the development of nanoparticles made from various polysaccharides, which can overcome multiple barriers along the GI tract and affect encapsulation efficiency, drug protection, and release mechanisms upon arrival in the colon. Also, there is information disclosed about the size of the nanoparticles that are usually involved in the mechanisms of diffusion through the barriers in the GI tract, which may influence early drug degradation and release in the digestive tract.
