Abstract
Amongst the several nano-drug delivery systems, lipid or polymer-based core-shell nanocapsules (NCs) have garnered much attention of researchers owing to its multidisciplinary properties and wide application. NCs are structured core-shell systems in which the core is an aqueous or oily phase protecting the encapsulated drug from environmental conditions, whereas the shell can be lipidic or polymeric. The core is stabilized by surfactant/lipids/polymers, which control the release of the drug. The presence of a plethora of biocompatible lipids and polymers with the provision of amicable surface modifications makes NCs an ideal choice for precise drug delivery. In the present article, multiple lipidic and polymeric NC (LNCs and PNCs) systems are described with an emphasis on fabrication methods and characterization techniques. Far-reaching applications as a carrier or delivery system are demonstrated for oral, parenteral, nasal, and transdermal routes of administration to enhance the bioavailability of hard-to-formulate drugs and to achieve sustained and targeted delivery. This review provide in depth understanding on core-shell NC's mechanism of absorption, surface modification, size tuning, and toxicity moderation which overshadows the drawbacks of conventional approaches. Additionally, the review shines a spotlight on the current challenges associated with core-shell NCs and applications in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Dietary lipids are key ingredients during cooking, processing, and seasoning of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables, playing vitals in affecting the absorption and utilization of carotenoids for achieving their health benefits. Besides, dietary lipids have also been extensively studied to construct various delivery systems for carotenoids, such as micro/nanoparticles, micro/nanoemulsions, and liposomes. Currently, the efficacies of these techniques on improving carotenoid bioavailability are often evaluated using the micellization rate or "bioaccessibility" based on in vitro models. However, recent studies have found that dietary lipids may also affect the carotenoid uptake via intestinal epithelial cells and the efflux of intracellular chyle particles via lipid transporters. An increasing number of studies reveal the varied impact of different dietary lipids on the absorption of different carotenoids and some lipids may even have an inhibitory effect. Consequently, it is necessary to clarify the relationship between the addition of dietary lipids and the intestinal absorption of carotenoid to fully understand the role of lipids during this process. This paper first introduces the intestinal absorption mechanism of carotenoids, including the effect of bile salts and lipases on mixed micelles, the types and regulation of lipid transporters, intracellular metabolizing enzymes, and the efflux process of chyle particles. Then, the regulatory mechanism of dietary lipids during intestinal carotenoid absorption is further discussed. Finally, the importance of selecting the dietary lipids for the absorption and utilization of different carotenoids and the design of an efficient delivery carrier are emphasized. This review provides suggestions for precise dietary carotenoid supplementation and offere an important reference for constructing efficient transport carriers for liposoluble nutrients.

Pulmonary delivery nanomedicines towards circumventing physiological barriers: Strategies and characterization approaches. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2022; 185:114309. [PMID: 35469997 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2022.114309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Pulmonary delivery of nanomedicines is very promising in lung local disease treatments whereas several physiological barriers limit its application via the interaction with inhaled nanomedicines, namely bio-nano interactions. These bio-nano interactions may affect the pulmonary fate of nanomedicines and impede the distribution of nanomedicines in its targeted region, and subsequently undermine the therapeutic efficacy. Pulmonary diseases are under worse scenarios as the altered physiological barriers generally induce stronger bio-nano interactions. To mitigate the bio-nano interactions and regulate the pulmonary fate of nanomedicines, a number of manipulating strategies were established based on size control, surface modification, charge tuning and co-delivery of mucolytic agents. Visualized and non-visualized characterizations can be employed to validate the robustness of the proposed strategies. This review provides a guiding overview of the physiological barriers affecting the in vivo fate of inhaled nanomedicines, the manipulating strategies, and the validation methods, which will assist with the rational design and application of pulmonary nanomedicine.

Abstract
Oral administration of actives is the most desired form of delivery, but the formulations need to overcome a variety of barriers including the intestinal mucus. This feature article summarizes the developments from the past 2-3 years in this context focusing on polymer-based formulations. The progress in assembling mucopenetrating nanoparticles is outlined considering coatings using noninteracting polymers as well as virus-like particles and charge-shifting particles. Next, polymers and their modification to enhance mucoadhesion are discussed, followed by providing examples of double-encapsulation systems that aim to combine mucopenetration with mucoadhesion in the same formulation. Finally, a short outlook is provided highlighting a few of the most pressing challenges to address.

Abstract
Lungs are critical organs that are continuously exposed to exogeneous matter. The presence of the mucus layer helps to protect them via its adhesive structure and filtering mechanisms. Mucus also acts as a strong barrier against the drugs and nanocarriers in drug delivery. In this study, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), at different sizes and surface properties, were prepared and their spreading/penetration ability was tested for their use in pulmonary drug delivery. The biophysical interactions of SLNs have been studied via light scattering (LS) and zeta potential analyses by incubating the SLNs in mucin solution and forming a model mucus layer using a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough. In addition, the penetration performance of the particles was evaluated using Franz diffusion cell and rotating diffusion tubes. It was determined that 36% of SLNs can penetrate through a 1.2 ± 0.2-mm-thick mucus layer. Finally, the spreading behavior of the particles on a mucus-mimicking subphase was characterized and enhanced using a catanionic surfactant mixture. Overall, the current study was the first to investigates both the spreading and penetration performance of SLNs. The developed systems offer a drug delivery system that is able to achieve high penetration rates through a thick mucus layer.
