Abstract
Recent advances in the treatment of chronic wounds have focused on the development of effective strategies for cutting-edge wound dressings based on nanostructured materials, particularly biocompatible poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based electro-spun (e-spun) nanofibers. However, PVA nanofibers need to be chemically crosslinked to ensure their dimensional stability in aqueous environment and their capability to encapsulate bioactive molecules. Herein, a robust approach for the fabrication of pH-degradable e-spun PVA nanofibers crosslinked with dynamic boronic ester (BE) linkages through a coupling reaction of PVA hydroxyl groups with the boronic acid groups of a phenyl diboronic acid crosslinker is reported. This comprehensive analysis reveals the importance of the mole ratio of boronic acid to hydroxyl group for the fabrication of well-defined BE-crosslinked fibrous mats with not only dimensional stability but also the ability to retain uniform fibrous form in aqueous solutions. These nanofibers degrade in both acidic and basic conditions that mimic wound environments, leading to controlled/enhanced release of encapsulated antimicrobial drug molecules. More importantly, drug-loaded BE-crosslinked fibers show excellent antimicrobial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, suggesting that this approach of exploring dynamic BE chemistry is amenable to the development of smart wound dressings with controlled/enhanced drug release.

Abstract
Developing a smart responsive surface for on-demand delivery of organic, inorganic, and biological cargo in vitro cellular uptake is always in constant demand. Herein, we present carbon quantum dot (CQD)-loaded (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)/poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA)) blend nanofiber sheets having a thermoresponsive nature. As a model cargo, fluorescent CQDs are used for the demonstration of the on-demand delivery mechanism. In addition, a thermoresponsive nature is produced by the PNIPAAm polymer in the nanofiber matrix while the PMMA polymer provides extra stability and firmness to the nanofibers against the sudden dissolution of the nanofibers in aqueous media. The synthesis of CQDs and their loading into a blend nanofiber matrix are confirmed using fluorescence spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy. The morphologies and diameters of the nanofibers are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Burst effect analysis proves that 30% (w/w) PNIPAAm-containing nanofibers possess the highest stability with the least dissolution in aqueous media. Thermoresponsiveness of the nanofibers is further confirmed through water contact angle measurements. Quantitative fluorescence results show that more than 80% of loaded CQDs can be released upon thermal stimulation. The fluorescence micrographs reveal that the blend nanofiber sheets can effectively improve the cellular uptake of CQDs by simply increasing the local concentrations via applying thermal stimulation as the released mechanism.

Abstract
In this work, redox-sensitive polyurethane urea (PUU) based electrospun membranes have been exploited to chemically tether a pH-sensitive doxorubicin derivative achieved by linking a lipoyl hydrazide to the drug via a hydrazone linkage. First, the lipoyl-hydrazone-doxorubicin derivative labelled as LA-Hy-Doxo has been synthesized and characterized. Then, the molecule has been tethered, via a thiol-disulfide exchange reaction, to the redox-sensitive PUU (PolyCEGS) electrospun membrane. The redox-sensitive PolyCEGS PUU has been produced by using PCL-PEG-PCL polyol and glutathione-tetramethyl ester (GSSG-OMe)4 as a chain extender. The LA-Hy-Doxo tethered electrospun membrane has showed a dually controlled release triggered by acidic and reducing conditions, producing a significant cytotoxic effect in human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) which has validated the system for the post-surgical treatment of solid tumors to contrast recurrence.

Abstract
Biocompatible nanosystems based on polymeric materials are promising drug delivery nanocarrier candidates for antitumor therapy. However, the efficacy is unsatisfying due to nonspecific accumulation and drug release of the nanoparticles in normal tissue. Recently, the nanosystems that can be triggered by tumor-specific stimuli have drawn great interest for drug delivery applications due to their controllable drug release properties. In this review, various polymers and external stimuli that can be employed to develop stimuli-responsive polymeric nanosystems are discussed, and finally, we delineate the challenges in designing this kind of Nanomedicine to improve the therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Current interstitial therapies for glioblastoma can overcome the blood-brain barrier but fail to optimally release therapy at a rate that stalls cancer reoccurrence. To address this lapse, acetalated dextran (Ace-DEX) nanofibrous scaffolds were used for their unique degradation rates that translate to a broad range of drug release kinetics. A distinctive range of drug release rates was illustrated via electrospun Ace-DEX or poly(lactic acid) (PLA) scaffolds. Scaffolds composed of fast, medium, and slow degrading Ace-DEX resulted in 14.1%, 2.9%, and 1.3% paclitaxel released per day. To better understand the impact of paclitaxel release rate on interstitial therapy, two clinically relevant orthotopic glioblastoma mouse models were explored: (1) a surgical model of resection and recurrence (resection model) and (2) a distant metastasis model. The effect of unique drug release was illustrated in the resection model when a 78% long-term survival was observed with combined fast and slow release scaffolds, in comparison to a survival of 20% when the same dose is delivered at a medium release rate. In contrast, only the fast release rate scaffold displayed treatment efficacy in the distant metastasis model. Additionally, the acid-sensitive Ace-DEX scaffolds were shown to respond to the lower pH conditions associated with GBM tumors, releasing more paclitaxel in vivo when a tumor was present in contrast to nonacid sensitive PLA scaffolds. The unique range of tunable degradation and stimuli-responsive nature makes Ace-DEX a promising drug delivery platform to improve interstitial therapy for glioblastoma.

Abstract
We report a dual-responsive drug delivery system prepared by electrospinning. Blend fibers of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) and ethyl cellulose (EC) were first prepared, with the aim of developing thermoresponsive sustained release formulations. Eudragit L100-based fibers were then generated to yield pH-sensitive materials. Attempts to produce three-polymer fibers of EC, PNVCL and Eudragit were unsuccessful, and therefore hybrid mats containing two fiber populations (one made of PNVCL/EC, one comprising Eudragit) were instead fabricated by twin-jet electrospinning. Analogous drug-loaded versions of all the formulations were also prepared containing ketoprofen (KET). The fibers were largely smooth and homogeneous, and the addition of KET did not affect their morphology. The PNVCL-containing fiber mats changed from being hydrophilic to hydrophobic when the temperature was increased through the lower critical solution temperature of 33 °C. In vitro drug release profiles showed that the hybrid fiber mats were able to combine the properties of the three polymers, exhibiting both pH-sensitive and thermosensitive properties with sustained release. In addition, they were found to be nontoxic and suitable for cell growth. This study therefore demonstrates that PNVCL/EC/KET-Eudragit/KET multicomponent fiber mats comprise effective and biocompatible materials for targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Electrospun-based drug delivery is emerging as a versatile means of localized therapy; however, controlling the release rates of active agents still remains as a key question. We propose a facile strategy to control the drug release behavior from electrospun fibers by a simple modification of polymer matrices. Polylactic acid (PLA) was used as a major component of the drug-carrier, and doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox) was used as a model drug. The influences of a polar co-solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and a hydrophilic polymer additive, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), on the drug miscibility, loading efficiency and release behavior were investigated. The use of DMSO enabled the homogeneous internalization of the drug as well as higher drug loading efficiency within the electrospun fibers. The PVP additive induced phase separation in the PLA matrix and acted as a porogen. Preferable partitioning of Dox into the PVP domain resulted in increased drug loading efficiency in the PLA/PVP fiber. Fast dissolution of PVP domains created pores in the fibers, facilitating the release of internalized Dox. The novelty of this study lies in the detailed experimental investigation of the effect of additives in pre-spinning formulations, such as co-solvents and polymeric porogens, on the drug release behavior of nanofibers.

Abstract
The review summarizes current trends and developments in the polymerization of alkylene oxides in the last two decades since 1995, with a particular focus on the most important epoxide monomers ethylene oxide (EO), propylene oxide (PO), and butylene oxide (BO). Classical synthetic pathways, i.e., anionic polymerization, coordination polymerization, and cationic polymerization of epoxides (oxiranes), are briefly reviewed. The main focus of the review lies on more recent and in some cases metal-free methods for epoxide polymerization, i.e., the activated monomer strategy, the use of organocatalysts, such as N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) as well as phosphazene bases. In addition, the commercially relevant double-metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst systems are discussed. Besides the synthetic progress, new types of multifunctional linear PEG (mf-PEG) and PPO structures accessible by copolymerization of EO or PO with functional epoxide comonomers are presented as well as complex branched, hyperbranched, and dendrimer like polyethers. Amphiphilic block copolymers based on PEO and PPO (Poloxamers and Pluronics) and advances in the area of PEGylation as the most important bioconjugation strategy are also summarized. With the ever growing toolbox for epoxide polymerization, a "polyether universe" may be envisaged that in its structural diversity parallels the immense variety of structural options available for polymers based on vinyl monomers with a purely carbon-based backbone.

Abstract
A smart, tumor-trigged, controlled drug release using inorganic "caps" with CO3 (2-) functional groups in electrospun fibers is presented for inhibiting cancer relapse. When the drug-loaded intelligent electrospun fibers encounter pathological acidic environments, the inorganic gates react with the acids and produce CO2 gas, which enables water penetration into the core of the fibers to induce rapid drug release.

Abstract
A fast and effective wound healing process would substantially decrease medical costs, wound care supplies, and hospitalization significantly improving the patients' quality of life. The search for effective therapeutic approaches seems to be imperative in order to avoid the aggravation of chronic wounds. In spite of all the efforts that have been made during the recent years towards the development of artificial wound dressings, none of the currently available options combine all the requirements necessary for quick and optimal cutaneous regeneration. Therefore, technological advances in the area of temporary and permanent smart dressings for wound care are required. The development of nanoscience and nanotechnology can improve the materials and designs used in topical wound care in order to efficiently release antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and regenerative compounds speeding up the endogenous healing process. Nanostructured dressings can overcome the limitations of the current coverings and, separately, natural origin components can also overcome the drawbacks of current antibiotics and antiseptics (mainly cytotoxicity, antibiotic resistance, and allergies). The combination of natural origin components with demonstrated antibiotic, regenerative, or anti-inflammatory properties together with nanostructured materials is a promising approach to fulfil all the requirements needed for the next generation of bioactive wound dressings. Microbially compromised wounds have been treated with different essential oils, honey, cationic peptides, aloe vera, plant extracts, and other natural origin occurring antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative components but the available evidence is limited and insufficient to be able to draw reliable conclusions and to extrapolate those findings to the clinical practice. The evidence and some promising preliminary results indicate that future comparative studies are justified but instead of talking about the beneficial or inert effects of those natural origin occurring materials, the scientific community leads towards the identification of the main active components involved and their mechanism of action during the corresponding healing, antimicrobial, or regenerative processes and in carrying out systematic and comparative controlled tests. Once those natural origin components have been identified and their efficacy validated through solid clinical trials, their combination within nanostructured dressings can open up new avenues in the fabrication of bioactive dressings with outstanding characteristics for wound care. The motivation of this work is to analyze the state of the art in the use of different essential oils, honey, cationic peptides, aloe vera, plant extracts, and other natural origin occurring materials as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and regenerative components with the aim of clarifying their potential clinical use in bioactive dressings. We conclude that, for those natural occurring materials, more clinical trials are needed to reach a sufficient level of evidence as therapeutic agents for wound healing management.

Abstract
Mimicking morphological similarities of the natural extra cellular matrix (ECM), described by ultrafine continuous fibers, high surface to volume ratio, and high porosity is valuable for effective regeneration of injured skin tissue. Electrospun nanofibers, being one of the most favorable and fast developing products of technology today, display a tremendous potential in wound healing and skin tissue engineering. Under the remarkable attention being given to electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds in promoting wound healing and skin regeneration, this review focuses on the potential of the electrospinning technique as a promising tool for constructing polymeric nanofibrous scaffolds with the favorable physicochemical properties needed for skin bioengineering. In addition, current applications of electrospun nanofibrous matrices for skin bioengineering are detailed in this review.

Abstract
A living system has a complex and accurate regulation system with intelligent sensor-processor-effector components to enable the release of vital bioactive substances on demand at a specific site and time. Stimuli-responsive polymers mimic biological systems in a crude way where an external stimulus results in a change in conformation, solubility, or alternation of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance, and consequently release of a bioactive substance. Electrospinning is a straightforward and robust method to produce nanofibers with the potential to incorporate drugs in a simple, rapid, and reproducible process. This feature article emphasizes an emerging area using an electrospinning technique to generate biomimetic nanofibers as drug delivery devices that are responsive to different stimuli, such as temperature, pH, light, and electric/magnetic field for controlled release of therapeutic substances. Although at its infancy, the mimicry of these stimuli-responsive nanofibers to the function of the living systems includes both the fibrous structural feature and bio-regulation function as an on demand drug release depot. The electrospun nanofibers with extracellular matrix morphology intrinsically guide cellular drug uptake, which will be highly desired to translate the promise of drug delivery for the clinical success.

Abstract
pH-responsive drug delivery systems could mediate drug releasing rate by changing the pH values at specific times as per the pathophysiological need of the disease. This paper demonstrates that a mussel-inspired protein polydopamine coating can tune the loading and releasing rate of charged molecules from electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers in solutions with different pH values. In vitro release profiles show that the positive charged molecules release significantly faster in acidic than those in neutral and basic environments within the same incubation time. The results of fluorescein diacetate staining and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays show the viability of cancer cells after treatment with doxorubicin-released media at different pH values qualitatively and quantitatively, indicating that the media containing doxorubicin that were released in solutions at low pH values could kill a significantly higher number of cells than those released in solutions at high pH values. Together, the pH-responsive drug delivery systems based on polydopamine-coated PCL nanofibers could have potential application in the oral delivery of anticancer drugs for treating gastric cancer and in vaginal delivery of anti-viral drugs or anti-inflammatory drugs, which could raise their efficacy, deliver them to the specific target and minimize their toxic side effects.

Abstract
Clinically, hypertrophic scarring (HS) is a major concern for patients and has been a challenge for surgeons, as there is a lack of treatments that can intervene early in the formation of HS. This study reports on a Chinese drug, 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 (GS-Rg3), which can inhibit in vivo the early formation of HS and later HS hyperplasia by inducing the apoptosis of fibroblasts, inhibiting inflammation and down-regulating VEGF expression. Implantable biodegradable GS-Rg3-loaded poly(l-lactide) (PLA) fibrous membranes were successfully fabricated using co-electrospinning technology to control drug release and improve drug utilization. The in vivo releasing time of GS-Rg3 lasts for 3 months, and the drug concentration released in rabbits can be controlled by varying the drug content of the electrospun fibers. Histological observations of HE staining indicate that GS-Rg3/PLA significantly inhibits the HS formation, with obvious improvements in terms of dermis layer thickness, epidermis layer thickness and fibroblast proliferation. The results of immunohistochemistry staining and Masson's trichrome staining demonstrate that GS-Rg3/PLA electrospun fibrous membranes significantly inhibit HS formation, with decreased expression of collagen fibers and microvessels. VEGF protein levels are much lower in the group treated with GS-Rg3/PLA eletrospun membranes compared with other groups. These results demonstrate that GS-Rg3 is a novel drug, capable of inhibiting the early formation of HS and later HS hyperplasia. GS-Rg3/PLA electrospun membrane is a very promising new treatment for early and long-term treatment of HS.

Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) techniques refer to procedures that utilize electrostatic forces to fabricate fibers or particles of different shapes with sizes in the nano-range to a few microns through electrically charged fluid jet. Employing different techniques, such as blending, surface modification, and coaxial process, there is a great possibility of incorporating bioactive such molecules as drugs, DNA, and growth factors into the nanostructures fabricated via EHD techniques. By careful selection of materials and processing conditions, desired encapsulation efficiency as well as preserved bioactivity of the therapeutic agents can be achieved. The drug-loaded nanostructures produced can be applied via different routes, such as implantation, injection, and topical or oral administration for a wide range of disease treatment. Taking advantage of the recent developments in EHD techniques like the coaxial process or multilayered structures, individually controlled delivery of multiple drugs is achievable, which is of great demand in cancer therapy and growth-factor delivery. This review summarizes the most recent techniques and postmodification methods to fabricate electrospun nanofibers and electrosprayed particles for drug-delivery applications.

Abstract
Microencapsulation of water-soluble drugs using coacervation-phase separation method is very challenging, as these drugs partitioned into the aqueous polymeric solution, resulting in poor drug entrapment. For evaluating the effect of ovalbumin on the microencapsulation of drugs with different solubility, pseudoephedrine HCl, verapamil HCl, propranolol HCl, paracetamol, and curcuminoid were used. In addition, drug mixtures comprising of paracetamol and pseudoephedrine HCl were also studied. The morphology, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and in vitro release profile were investigated. The results showed that the solubility of the drug determined the ratio of ovalbumin to be used for successful microencapsulation. The optimum ratios of drug, ovalbumin, and gelatin for water-soluble (pseudoephedrine HCl, verapamil HCl, and propranolol HCl), sparingly water-soluble (paracetamol), and water-insoluble (curcuminoid) drugs were found to be 1:1:2, 2:3:5, and 1:3:4. As for the drug mixture, the optimum ratio of drug, ovalbumin, and gelatin was 2:3:5. Encapsulated particles prepared at the optimum ratios showed high yield, drug loading, entrapment efficiency, and sustained release profiles. The solubility of drug affected the particle size of the encapsulated particle. Highly soluble drugs resulted in smaller particle size. In conclusion, addition of ovalbumin circumvented the partitioning effect, leading to the successful microencapsulation of water-soluble drugs.

Abstract
The electrospinning technique, which was invented about 100 years ago, has attracted more attention in recent years due to its possible biomedical applications. Electrospun fibers with high surface area to volume ratio and structures mimicking extracellular matrix (ECM) have shown great potential in tissue engineering and drug delivery. In order to develop electrospun fibers for these applications, different biocompatible materials have been used to fabricate fibers with different structures and morphologies, such as single fibers with different composition and structures (blending and core-shell composite fibers) and fiber assemblies (fiber bundles, membranes and scaffolds). This review summarizes the electrospinning techniques which control the composition and structures of the nanofibrous materials. It also outlines possible applications of these fibrous materials in skin, blood vessels, nervous system and bone tissue engineering, as well as in drug delivery.
