Abstract
Exosomes are promising nanocarriers for drug delivery. Yet, it is challenging to apply exosomes in clinical use due to the limited understanding of their physiological functions. While cellular uptake of exosomes is generally known through endocytosis and/or membrane fusion, the mechanisms of origin-dependent cellular uptake and subsequent cargo release of exosomes into recipient cells are still unclear. Herein, we investigated the intricate mechanisms of exosome entry into recipient cells and the intracellular cargo release. In this study, we utilized chiral graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as representatives of exosomal cargo, taking advantage of the superior permeability of chiral GQDs into lipid membranes, as well as their excellent optical properties for tracking analysis. We observed a higher uptake rate of exosomes in their parental recipient cells. However, these exosomes were predominantly entrapped in lysosomes through endocytosis (intraspecies endocytic uptake). On the other hand, in non-parental recipient cells, exosomes exhibited a greater inclination for cellular uptake through membrane fusion, followed by direct cargo release into the cytosol (cross-species direct fusion uptake). We revealed the underlying mechanisms involved in the cellular uptake and the subsequent cargo release of exosomes depending on their cell-of-origin and recipient cell types. This study envisions valuable insights into further advancements in the effective drug delivery using exosomes, as well as a comprehensive understanding of cellular communication, including disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
The main challenge of using nanoliposome systems is controlling their size and stability. In order to overcome this challenge, according to the research conducted at the Research Centre for New Technologies of Biological Engineering, University of Tehran, a model for predicting the size and stability of nanoliposome systems based on thermodynamic relations has been presented. In this model, by using the presented equations and without performing many experiments in the laboratory environment, the effect of temperature, ionic power and different pH can be considered simultaneously whereas examining the components of size, stability and any feature were considered before. Synthesis and application of liposomal nanocarriers in different operating conditions can be investigated and predicted, and due to the change in temperature and pH, the smallest size of th system can be obtained. In this study, we were able to model the synthesis and storage conditions of liposomal nanocarriers at different temperatures and acidic, neutral and alkaline pHs, based on the calculation of mathematical equations. This model also indicates that with increasing temperature, the radius increases but with increasing pH, the radius first increases and then decreases. Therefore, this model can be used to predict size and stability in different operating conditions. In fact, with this modelling method, there is no need to study through laboratory methods and analysis to determine the size, stability and surface loads, and in terms of Accuracy, time and cost savings are affordable.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene imine)/(phenylthio) acetic acid (PEI/PTA) ion pairs exhibited an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in an aqueous solution and the UCST was higher as the PTA content was more. The UCST of the ion pair decreased with increasing Brij S100 (BS 100, a nonionic surfactant) concentration but increased with increasing cetylpridinium chloride (CPC, a cationic surfactant) and sodium lauroylsarcosinate (SLS, an anionic surfactant) concentration. TEM microscopy demonstrated BS 100 markedly reduced the size of PEI/PTA ion pair self-assembly (IPSAM) whereas CPC and SLS had little effect on the size and the integrity of IPSAM. 1H NMR spectroscopy showed the hydrophobic interaction among the phenyl groups of PEI/PTA ion pairs took place. It also demonstrated the hydrophobic interaction between BS 100 and PTA and the electrostatic interaction between CPC and PTA and between SLS and PEI occurred. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy disclosed the PTA of PEI/PTA IPSAM could be readily oxidized by H2O2 even at a low concentration (e.g. 0.005%). IPSAM released its payload (i.e. nile red) in a temperature and oxidation-responsive manner. The surfactants (i.e. BS 100, CPC, and SLS) suppressed the thermally triggered release in a different way. The effectiveness of the surfactant to suppress the release was in the order of BS 100 > CPC > SLS. IPSAM released its content more extensively as H2O2 (an oxidizing agent) concentration was higher. The ionic surfactants (i.e. CPS and SLS) had little effect on the oxidation-induced release degree but the nonionic surfactant (BS 100) markedly suppressed the release degree.

Abstract
UV and NIR-responsive monoolein cubic phase was prepared by including poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI)/cinnamic acid (CA) conjugate and gold nanoparticle (GNP) within its structure. UV irradiation elevated significantly the release % of Auramine O loaded in cubic phase containing PEI/CA, possibly because of the trans-to-cis isomerization of CA. NIR irradiation also increased significantly the release % of FITC-dextran loaded in cubic phase containing PEI/CA. The release % of the dye loaded in cubic phase containing PEI/CA and GNP was elevated more markedly by NIR irradiation, possibly due to the phase transition of cubic phase and the disassembling of PEI/CA assembly.

Abstract
An improved interfacial drug delivery system (DDS) based on polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) coatings with controlled drug loading and improved release performance was elaborated. The cationic homopolypeptide poly(l-lysine) (PLL) was complexed with a mixture of two cellulose sulfates (CS) of low and high degree of substitution, so that the CS and PLL solution have around equal molar charged units. As drugs the antibiotic rifampicin (RIF) and the bisphosphonate risedronate (RIS) were integrated. As an important advantage over previous PEC systems this one can be centrifuged, the supernatant discarded, the dense pellet phase (coacervate) separated, and again redispersed in fresh water phase. This behavior has three benefits: (i) Access to the loading capacity of the drug, since the concentration of the free drug can be measured by spectroscopy; (ii) lower initial burst and higher residual amount of drug due to removal of unbound drug and (iii) complete adhesive stability due to the removal of polyelectrolytes (PEL) excess component. It was found that the pH value and ionic strength strongly affected drug content and release of RIS and RIF. At the clinically relevant implant material (Ti40Nb) similar PEC adhesive and drug release properties compared to the model substrate were found. Unloaded PEC coatings at Ti40Nb showed a similar number and morphology of above cultivated human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) compared to uncoated Ti40Nb and resulted in considerable production of bone mineral. RIS loaded PEC coatings showed similar effects after 24 h but resulted in reduced number and unhealthy appearance of hMSC after 48 h due to cell toxicity of RIS.
