Abstract
Polymersomes (or polymer vesicles) have attracted much attention for biomedical applications in recent years because their lumen can be used for drug delivery and their coronas and membrane can be modified with a variety of functional groups. Thus, polymersomes are very suitable for improved antibacterial and anticancer therapy. This review mainly highlighted recent advances in the synthetic protocols and design principles of intelligent antibacterial and anticancer polymersomes. Antibacterial polymersomes are divided into three categories: polymersomes as antibiotic nanocarriers, intrinsically antibacterial polymersomes, and antibacterial polymersomes with supplementary means including photothermal and photodynamic therapy. Similarly, the anticancer polymersomes are divided into two categories: polymersomes-based delivery systems and anticancer polymersomes with supplementary means. In addition, the bilateral relationship between bacteria and cancer is addressed, since more and more evidences show that bacteria may cause cancer or promote cancer progression. Finally, prospective on next-generation antibacterial and anticancer polymersomes are discussed. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures.

Abstract
Polymer vesicles, hollow nanostructures with hydrophilic cavity and hydrophobic membrane, have shown significant potentials in biomedical applications including drug delivery, gene therapy, cancer theranostics, and so forth, due to their unique cell membrane-like structure. Incorporation with antibacterial active components like antimicrobial peptides, etc., polymer vesicles exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity, extended circulation time, and reduced cell toxicity. Furthermore, antibacterial, and anticancer can be achieved simultaneously, opening a new avenue of the antimicrobial applications of polymer vesicles. This review seeks to highlight the state-of-the-art of antimicrobial polymer vesicles, including the design strategies and potential applications in the field of antibacterial. The structural features of polymer vesicles, preparation methods, and the combination principles with antimicrobial active components, as well as the advantages of antimicrobial polymer vesicles, will be discussed. Then, the diverse applications of antimicrobial polymer vesicles such as wide spectrum antibacterial, anti-biofilm, wound healing, and tissue engineering associated with their structure features are presented. Finally, future perspectives of polymer vesicles in the field of antibacterial is also proposed.

Abstract
Poly(α-l-lysine) (PLL) is a class of water-soluble, cationic biopolymer composed of α-l-lysine structural units. The previous decade witnessed tremendous progress in the synthesis and biomedical applications of PLL and its composites. PLL-based polymers and copolymers, till date, have been extensively explored in the contexts such as antibacterial agents, gene/drug/protein delivery systems, bio-sensing, bio-imaging, and tissue engineering. This review aims to summarize the recent advances in PLL-based nanomaterials in these biomedical fields over the last decade. The review first describes the synthesis of PLL and its derivatives, followed by the main text of their recent biomedical applications and translational studies. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of PLL-based nanomaterials in biomedical fields are addressed.

Abstract
The antimicrobial activity and the underlying action mechanisms of dihydrotanshinone I against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases Staphylococcus aureus were investigated with Kleihauer-Betke (K-B) test. The antibacterial mechanisms of dihydrotanshinone I were investigated by monitoring the changes in electric conductivity, concentration of AKP, protein content, and patterns of protein electrophoretic bands in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The antibacterial rings showed that antimicrobial activity of dihydrotanshinone I at 18 mM was stronger to Staphylococcus aureus than to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases Staphylococcus aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and IC50 values showed that dihydrotanshinone I had the strongest inhibitory activity against S. aureus (MIC = 280 µM, IC50 = 874 ± 0.01 µM, respectively). Dihydrotanshinone I could increase the electric conductivity, concentration of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and protein content. The patterns of protein bands in SDS-PAGE were changed obviously. Dihydrotanshinone I also significantly inhibited S. aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases S. aureus, indicating that dihydrotanshinone I can damage the structures of cell wall and cell membrane to increase permeability of cell membrane and release of cell components. Dihydrotanshinone I could influence the synthesis of bacterial protein, destroy the protein, or reject the anabolism or expression of the protein, and finally lead to the loss of normal physiological function of bacteria.

Abstract
A novel series of amphiphilic mimicking antimicrobial peptide copolymers PCL16-b-Kn can assemble in water to form uniform vesicles. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the vesicular structure of the nanoparticles, and dynamic light scattering revealed their uniform size and narrow dispersion. Critical vesiculation concentrations were also tested, revealing that these vesicles can exist at low concentrations. Furthermore, in vitro and intracellular drug release of doxorubicin(DOX)-vesicles were conducted. These vesicles could encapsulate DOX and achieve efficient intracellular drug release. Overall, these copolymer vesicles exhibit potential application value as multifunctional drug-carrier systems with antibacterial capability in cancer therapy.
