Abstract
Background Cervical cancer (CC) is currently the most common malignant tumour in the female reproductive tract, and paclitaxel (PTX) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, but tumour cell resistance will seriously affect the therapeutic efficacy of PTX. Nanoparticle human serum albumin-bound paclitaxel (Nano-HSA-PTX) is a novel drug delivery modality that may have superior effects to PTX alone. Objective To clarify the effect of Nano-HSA-PTX on cervical carcinoma (CC) cells and the underlying mechanisms. Methods After the preparation of Nano-HSA-PTX, its morphology was observed by electron transmission microscope (TEM), and its entrapment efficiency (EE%) and drug loading rate (DL%) were detected. Nano-HSA-PTX was compared with conventional PTX for drug metabolism. Additionally, CC HeLa and SiHa cells were purchased and divided into three groups to treat with Nano-HSA-PTX, PTX and normal saline, respectively. MTT, cell cloning, Transwell and cell scratch assays were carried out to determine cell proliferation, invasion and migration, flow cytometry and Western blotting were performed to detect apoptosis rate and apoptosis-related protein expression, and PCR was conducted to quantify oxidative damage indicators. Further, CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 expression patterns in CC cells (HeLa and SiHa) and human normal cervical epithelia (End1/E6E7) and the changes of their levels under the intervention of Nano-HSA-PTX were measured. Subsequently, C57BL/6mice were purchased for subcutaneous tumorigenesis experiment to observe the impact of Nano-HSA-PTX on tumor growth. Results Under TEM, Nano-HSA-PTX was complete and arranged compactly, with a stable structure and markedly higher EE% and DL% than PTX (P < 0.05). Under Nano-HSA-PTX intervention, the proliferation, invasion, migration and oxidative damage of HeLa and SiHa were significantly decreased compared with the control and PTX groups, while the apoptosis was increased (P < 0.05). Besides, elevated CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 levels were observed in CC cells, which were inhibited by Nano-HSA-PTX and PTX (P < 0.05). Finally, tumorigenesis experiments in nude mice revealed that Nano-HSA-PTX could inhibit tumor growth. Conclusion Compared with PTX, Nano-HSA-PTX has a superior effect of inhibiting CC activity. And this mechanism of action was carried out by inhibiting the expression of CYP3A4 and CYP2C8.

Abstract
Modern agriculture has evolved technological innovations to sustain crop productivity. Recent advances in biorefinery technology use crop residue as feedstock, but this raises carbon sequestration concerns as biorefining utilizes carbon that would otherwise be returned to the soil, thus causing a decline in crop productivity. Furthermore, biorefining generates abundant lignin waste that significantly impedes the efficiency of biorefineries. Valorizing lignin into advanced nanobiotechnologies for agriculture provides a unique opportunity to balance bioeconomy and soil carbon sequestration. Integration of agricultural practices such as utilization of agrochemicals, fertilizers, soil modifiers, and mulching with lignin nanobiotechnologies promotes crop productivity and also enables advanced manufacturing of high-value bioproducts from lignin. Lignin nanobiotechnologies thus represent state-of-the-art innovations to transform both the bioeconomy and sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Lignin is a fascinating aromatic biopolymer with high valorization potentiality. Besides its extensive value in the biorefinery context, as a renewable source of aromatics lignin is currently under evaluation for its huge potential in biomedical applications. Besides the specific antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of lignin, that depend on its source and isolation procedure, remarkable progress has been made, over the last five years, in the isolation, functionalization and modification of lignin and lignin-derived compounds to use as carriers for biologically active substances. The aim of this review is to summarize the current state of the art in the field of lignin-based carrier systems, highlighting the most important results. Furthermore, the possibilities and constraints related to the physico–chemical properties of the lignin source will be reviewed herein as well as the modifications and processing required to make lignin suitable for the loading and release of active compounds.

Abstract
Nowadays sustainable nanotechnological strategies to improve the efficiency of conventional agricultural practices are of utmost importance. As a matter of fact, the increasing use of productive factors in response to the growing food demand plays an important role in determining the environmental impact of agriculture. In this respect, low-efficiency conventional practices are becoming obsolete. On the other hand, the exploitation of nanoscaled systems for the controlled delivery of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides shows great potential towards the development of sustainable, efficient and resilient agricultural processes, while promoting food security. In this context, lignin - especially in the form of its nanostructures - can play an important role as sustainable biomaterial for nano-enabled agricultural applications. In this review, we present and discuss the current advancements in the preparation of lignin nanoparticles for the controlled release of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, as well as the latest findings in terms of plant response to their application. Special attention has been paid to the state-of-the-art literature concerning the release performance of these lignin-based nanomaterials, whose efficiency is compared with the conventional approaches. Finally, the major challenges and the future scenarios of lignin-based nano-enabled agriculture are considered.

Abstract
Controlled release systems of agrochemicals have been developed in recent years. However, the design of intelligent nanocarriers that can be manufactured with renewable and low-cost materials is still a challenge for agricultural applications. Lignocellulosic building blocks (cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose) are ideal candidates to manufacture ecofriendly nanocarriers given their low-cost, abundancy and sustainability. Complexity and heterogeneity of biopolymers have posed challenges in the development of nanocarriers; however, the current engineering toolbox for biopolymer modification has increased remarkably, which enables better control over their properties and tuned interactions with cargoes and plant tissues. In this mini-review, we explore recent advances on lignocellulosic-based nanocarriers for the controlled release of agrochemicals. We also offer a critical discussion regarding the future challenges of potential bio-based nanocarrier for sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract
Avermectin (AVM) is a biopesticide with low toxicity and high activity, but has limited use due to its poor water solubility and easy decomposition. A delivery system that can stabilize this biopesticide can play a significant role for improving its biological activity. Herein, water-dispersible functionalized polysuccinimide nanoparticles (PAD) were prepared by a ring-opening reaction and subsequently used to encapsulate AVM via self-assembly to form AVM@PAD nanoparticles with a loading ratio of 10.04 %. The half-life under UV radiation (300 W) of AVM@PAD was three times higher than that of free AVM, demonstrating the excellent protective ability of PAD. In addition, AVM@PAD nanoparticles could sustain the release of AVM for 70 h with a cumulative release rate of 70 %. AVM@PAD nanoparticles also showed a pH-responsive release, and their maximum cumulative release rate was at neutral pH. Moreover, the median lethal concentration (LC50) value of AVM@PAD with respect to Plutella xylostella was 34.50 mg/L, while that of free AVM was 56.05 mg/L. These results showed that the AVM@PAD nanoparticles can potentially and effectively promote drug stability and biological activity in agriculture.

Abstract
The increasing world-wide demand for food has prompted the development of efficient and environmentally friendly pesticide formulations. In this article, we have prepared CMC-g-PRSG carrier based on two compounds from natural materials carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and rosin (RS). The model pesticide avermectin (AVM) was encapsulated through hydrophobic interaction, and self-assembled to form nanopesticide AVM@CMC-g-PRSG with an average particle size of 167 nm. The prepared nanopesticide displays enhanced dispersibility and stability of AVM in water, and can effectively adhere to the leaves to prevent loss. The release rate of AVM encapsulated in the nanocarrier can be controlled by adjusting pH, and AVM half-life under ultraviolet radiation shows a 3-fold increase allowing control of pests for prolonged periods of time in practical applications. Biological safety tests showed that AVM@CMC-g-PRSG effectively reduces the toxicity of AVM to aquatic animals. Therefore, the cheap and degradable carrier CMC-g-PRSG can improve the effect of hydrophobic pesticides.

Abstract
Biopolymer-based spherical particles exhibit unique properties including narrow sizes and many functional groups on their surfaces. Therefore, they show great potential for application in many scientific and industrial processes. The main aim of this study was to prepare lignin-based spherical particles with the use of a cationic surfactant, hexadecyl(trimethyl)ammonium bromide (CTAB). In the first step, different preparation procedures were tested with varying parameters, including biopolymer and surfactant ratios, lignin filtration, and experimental time. The morphological and dispersion characteristics of the materials were determined to select the best samples with the most promising properties, which could then be tested for their acute toxicity. It was observed that almost all materials were characterized by spherical shapes in micro- and nanosizes. The sample with the best physicochemical properties was used for further analysis and then tested for medical applications: the improvement of the stability of a drug molecule, cilazapril (CIL). The formulated material (CIL@LC-2a 1:1 wt./wt.) exhibited outstanding properties and significantly improved the stability of cilazapril as tested in conditions of increased temperature and humidity. Lignin spherical particles may be employed as a promising material for shielding other active compounds from decomposition.
