Abstract
Hydrophilic polymers have found ubiquitous use in drug delivery and novel polymer materials to advance drug delivery systems are highly sought after. Herein, an amylose mimic (PEGose) was combined with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in an amphiphilic block copolymer to form PEG-free nanoparticles as an alternative to PEG-based nanomedicines. The block copolymer self-assembled into 150-200 nm particles with a narrow dispersity in aqueous environment. The formed nanoparticles were capable of encapsulation, the sustained release of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic dyes. Moreover, the nanoparticles were found to be remarkably stable and had a very low cytotoxicity and a high propensity to penetrate cells. These results highlight the potential of PEGose-b-PLA to be used in drug delivery with a new hydrophilic building block.

Abstract
The successful use of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for clinical development of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines marked a breakthrough in mRNA-LNP therapeutics. As one of the vital components of LNPs, poly(ethylene glycol)-lipid conjugates (PEG-lipids) influence particle biophysical properties and stability, as well as interactions within biological environments. Reports suggesting that anti-PEG antibodies can be detected quite commonly within the human population raise concerns that PEG content in commercial LNP products could further stimulate immune responses to PEG. The presence of anti-PEG antibodies has been linked to accelerated clearance of LNPs, potentially a source of variability in the biological response to mRNA-LNP products. This motivated us to explore potential PEG alternatives. Herein, we report physicochemical and biological properties of mRNA-LNPs assembled using poly(2-oxazoline) (POx)- and poly(2-oxazine) (POz)-based polymer-lipid conjugates. Notably, we investigated monoacyl lipids as alternatives to diacyl lipids. mRNA-LNPs produced using monoacyl POx/POz-lipids displayed comparable biophysical characteristics and cytocompatibility. Delivery of reporter mRNA resulted in similar transfection efficiencies, in both adherent and suspension cells, and in mice, compared to PEG-lipid equivalents. Our results suggest that monoacyl POx/POz-lipid-containing LNPs are promising candidates for the development of PEG-free LNP-based therapeutic products.

Abstract
A great deal of nanocarriers have been applied to induce ferroptosis in cancer research, yet there are limited examples of nanocarrier formulations to rescue ferroptosis, which can be applied to neurodegeneration, inflammation, liver damage, kidney disease, and more. Here, we present the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro evaluation of pH-responsive, core-cross-linked micelle (CCM) ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) conjugates with amine, valproic acid, and biotin surface chemistries. Fer-1 release from stable and defined CCM Fer-1 conjugates was quantified, highlighting the sustained release for 24 h. CCM Fer-1 conjugates demonstrated excellent ferroptosis rescue by their antilipid peroxidation activity in a diverse set of cell lines in vitro. Additionally, CCMs showed tunable cell association in SH-SY5Y and translocation across an in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) model, highlighting potential brain disease applications. Overall, here, we present a polymeric Fer-1 delivery system to enhance Fer-1 action, which could help in improving Fer-1 action in the treatment of ferroptosis-related diseases.

Abstract
Elsinochrome A (EA) is a naturally occurring photosensitizer with potential applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for various malignancies. Despite its promising therapeutic properties, the poor solubility of EA hampers its effective utilization in clinical settings. To circumvent this limitation, we engineered four distinct nano-formulations: PLGA/EA nanoparticles (NPs), CMC-PLGA/EA NPs, mPEG-PCL/EA nanomicelles (NMs), and LHP-CHOL/EA nanoliposomes (NLs), all designed to enhance the solubility of EA. A comparative evaluation of these formulations, based on metrics such as particle size, Zeta potential, drug loading efficiency, and encapsulation efficiency, identified PLGA/EA NPs and mPEG-PCL/EA NMs as the most efficacious candidates. Subsequent in vitro investigations into the drug release kinetics under varying pH conditions and the impact on cell viability and apoptosis in A549 and MCF-7 cell lines were conducted. Remarkably, the maximum drug release for PLGA/EA NPs and mPEG-PCL/EA NMs was recorded at 62.5% and 70.8% in an acidic environment (pH 5.7), respectively. Upon exposure to 460 nm light, PLGA/EA NPs induced a significant reduction in A549 cell viability to 13.8% and an apoptosis rate of 93.8%, whereas mPEG-PCL/EA NMs elicited a decrease in MCF-7 cell viability to 12.8% and an apoptosis rate of 73.0%.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has developed rapidly in solid tumors, especially in the areas of blocking inhibitory immune checkpoints and adoptive T-cell transfer for immune regulation. Many patients benefit from immunotherapy. However, the response rate of immunotherapy in the overall population are relatively low, which depends on the characteristics of the tumor and individualized patient differences. Moreover, the occurrence of drug resistance and adverse reactions largely limit the development of immunotherapy. Recently, the emergence of nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) seems to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy by encapsulating drug carriers in nanoparticles to precisely reach the tumor site with high stability and biocompatibility, prolonging the drug cycle of action and greatly reducing the occurrence of toxic side effects. In this paper, we mainly review the advantages of NDDS and the mechanisms that enhance conventional immunotherapy in solid tumors, and summarize the recent advances in NDDS-based therapeutic strategies, which will provide valuable ideas for the development of novel tumor immunotherapy regimen.

Various lipid anchors on amphiphilic polyoxazolines to reach efficient intracellular delivery. Int J Pharm 2023:123103.

Abstract
This work aimed at evaluating the potential of amphiphilic polyoxazolines bearing lipid chain called lipopolyoxazolines to reach efficient intracellular delivery. Four lipid chains: linear saturated, linear unsaturated and two branched one of various length were associated to poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) block. The evaluation of their physicochemical features and their impact on cell viability and internalization capacity indicated that the linear saturated gathered the highest cell internalization with a good cell viability. Its intracellular delivery capacity was compared to the PEG reference (DSPE-PEG) after being formulated in liposomes and loaded with fluorescent probe. Both POxylated and PEGylated liposomes showed similar characteristics regarding size distribution, drug loading and cell viability. However, their intracellular delivery was dramatically different, with an improved delivery by 30 folds for the POxylated ones. This significantly better performance highlighted the difficulty of PEGylated liposomes to enter the cells by endocytosis, contrary to POxylated liposomes. This study promotes the value of lipopoly(oxazoline) as a lipopoly(ethylene glycol) alternative for effective intracellular delivery and holds great promises for development of nanoformulations for intravenous administration.

Abstract
Radical trapping agents such as Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) are capable of rescuing cells from ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death. Previously, poly(2-oxazoline)-Fer-1 (POx-Fer-1) conjugates were reported, which possess increased water-solubility and remain active after covalent conjugation of Fer-1. In this study, we break down the structural and functional layers of POx-Fer-1 conjugates and reveal that drug-free POx containing arylalkylamine and benzamide motifs show anti-ferroptosis properties. Intriguingly, even the basic construct poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline-grad-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline) P(MeOx-grad-PhOx) was found to be active. Therefore, P(MeOx-grad-PhOx) of varying compositions were prepared, characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography and investigated with regard to their self-assembly in aqueous solution and activity in an in vitro ferroptosis model. These findings were further explored for the design of defined and bioactive core-crosslinked micelles with intrinsic anti-ferroptosis behaviour. Cellular interaction studies involving C11-BODIPY assays and confocal microscopy investigations revealed lysosomal processing of the nanomaterials and perturbation of ferroptotic cell death through reducing lipid-peroxidation. This study highlights new drug/cargo-free anti-ferroptotic nanomaterials as proof of concept that hold potential for therapy of ferroptosis-associated diseases and highlights the role of nanocarriers in a therapeutic context.

Abstract
Fungal diseases have posed a great challenge to global health, but have fewer solutions compared to bacterial and viral infections. Development and application of new treatment modalities for fungi are limited by their inherent essential properties as eukaryotes. The microorganism identification and drug sensitivity analyze are limited by their proliferation rates. Moreover, there are currently no vaccines for prevention. Polymer science and related interdisciplinary technologies have revolutionized the field of fungal disease management. To date, numerous advanced polymer-based systems have been developed for management of fungal diseases, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. In this review, we provide an overview of current needs and advances in polymer-based strategies against fungal diseases. We high light various treatment modalities. Delivery systems of antifungal drugs, systems based on polymers' innate antifungal activities, and photodynamic therapies each follow their own mechanisms and unique design clues. We also discuss various prevention strategies including immunization and antifungal medical devices, and further describe point-of-care testing platforms as futuristic diagnostic and monitoring tools. The broad application of polymer-based strategies for both public and personal health management is prospected and integrated systems have become a promising direction. However, there is a gap between experimental studies and clinical translation. In future, well-designed in vivo trials should be conducted to reveal the underlying mechanisms and explore the efficacy as well as biosafety of polymer-based products.

Abstract
For systemically delivered nanoparticles to reach target tissues, they must first circulate long enough to reach the target and extravasate there. A challenge is that the particles end up engaging with serum proteins and undergo immune cell recognition and premature clearance. The serum protein binding, also known as protein corona formation, is difficult to prevent, even with artificial protection via "stealth" coating. Protein corona may be problematic as it can interfere with the interaction of targeting ligands with tissue-specific receptors and abrogate the so-called active targeting process, hence, the efficiency of drug delivery. However, recent studies show that serum protein binding to circulating nanoparticles may be actively exploited to enhance their downstream delivery. This review summarizes known issues of protein corona and traditional strategies to control the corona, such as avoiding or overriding its formation, as well as emerging efforts to enhance drug delivery to target organs via nanoparticles. It concludes with a discussion of prevailing challenges in exploiting protein corona for nanoparticle development.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have shown great success as drug delivery systems, especially for mRNA vaccines, as those developed during the Covid-19 pandemics. Lipid analysis is critical to monitor the formulation process and control the quality of LNPs. The present study is focused on the development and validation of a high-performance liquid chromatography – diode array detector –evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC-DAD/ELSD) based method for the simultaneous quantification of 7 lipids, illustrating the main components of LNPs: ionizable lipids, the neutral co-lipid cholesterol, phospholipids, hydrophilic polymer-lipids for colloidal stability (e.g., a PEGylated lipid). In particular, this study focuses on two innovative synthetic lipids: a switchable cationic lipid (CSL3) which has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo siRNA transfection abilities, and the palmitic acid-grafted-poly(ethyloxazoline)5000 (PolyEtOx), used as an alternative polymer to address allergic reactions attributed to PEGylated lipids. The HPLC separation was achieved on a Poroshell C18 column at 50 °C using a step gradient of a mobile phase composed of water/methanol mixtures with 0.1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). This method was validated following ICH Q2(R1) & (R2) guidelines in terms of linearity (R² ≥ 0.997), precision (relative standard deviation on peak areas < 5% for intermediate repeatability), accuracy (recoveries between 92.9% and 108.5%), and sensitivity. Indeed, low detection and quantitation limits were determined (between 0.02 and 0.04 µg and between 0.04 and 0.10 µg, respectively). Due to its high selectivity, this method allowed the analysis of lipid degradation products produced through degradation studies in basic, acidic, and oxidative conditions. Moreover, the method was successfully applied to the analysis of several liposome formulations at two key steps of the development process. Consequently, the reported HPLC method offers fast, versatile, selective and quantitative analysis of lipids, essential for development optimization, chemical characterization, and stability testing of LNP formulations.

Abstract
Comb-like copolymers are usually structured by grafting polymeric side chains onto main polymer chain. There are few reports of comb-on-comb polymers in which dense secondary side chains are grafted onto primary side chain. In this work, we synthesized comb polymers with grafted-on-graft side chains (c-PEI-g-Acyl) via an effective acylation reaction of comb polymers possessing polyethyleneimine (PEI) side chain with long-alkyl acyl chlorides. For comparison, we also synthesized homopolymers l-PEI-g-Acyls via reaction of linear PEI with long-alkyl acyl chlorides. Then, we investigated their crystalline feature in the film formation by XRD, DSC and SEM, and found that the polymers tend to form hexagonal lamella structures with bilayer alkyl spacing. The comb polymers c-PEI-g-Acyls and linear polymers l-PEI-g-Acyls were used in preparation of honeycomb film by the "breath-figure" process by dropping chloroform solution of the polymers on substrate. Different to many honeycomb polymeric films which are supported by amorphous phase, interestingly, our polymers easily afford honeycomb films which are supported by crystalline lamellae frames under higher humidity condition. It was found that the comb polymers of c-PEI-g-Acyls with longer PEI primary side chain and long alkyl secondary side chain have advantages in producing honeycomb film than linear polymers of l-PEI-g-Acys.

Abstract
In order to enhance the targeting efficiency and reduce the side effects and drug resistance, crizotinib (Cri) and F7 were co-loaded in a thermosensitive liposome (TSL) (F7-Cri-TSL), which showed enhanced permeability and retention in breast cancer model, as well as local controlled release by external hyperthermia. Cri is an inhibitor for cell proliferation and a promoter of apoptosis, by inhibiting the phosphorylation of intracellular ALK and c-Met, but its drug resistance limits its application. F7 is a novel drug candidate with significant resistance to cyclin-dependent kinase, but its use was restricted by its high toxicity. The F7-Cri-TSL was found with excellent particle size (about 108 nm), high entrapment efficiency (>95%), significant thermosensitive property, and good stability. Furthermore, F7-Cri-TSL/H had strongest cell lethality compared with other formulations. On the MCF-7 xenograft mice model, the F7-Cri-TSL also exhibited therapeutic synergism of Cri, F7 and hyperthermia. Meanwhile, it was shown that the TSL reduced the systemic toxicity of the chemotherapy drug. Therefore, the F7-Cri-TSL may serve as a promising system for temperature triggered breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
This paper reports the development in aqueous solution of mixed micelles of tunable cloud point temperature through blending in various proportions of two copolymers of different chemical natures. For that purpose, a lipid-b-poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) (lipid-b-P(iPrOx)) copolymer, self-assembling into thermosensitive micelles that phase-separate above a cloud point temperature of 38 °C, was blended in various proportions with commercial C18-b-PEOx. The latter was constituted of a hydrophobic saturated C18 chain and a hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) block with varying polymerization degrees (x) and does not have any thermosensitive properties on the studied temperature range for any value of x. The different blends were thoroughly characterized by light scattering and UV-visible spectroscopy, revealing that hybridization between both copolymers always occurred, independent of the PEO block length. The resulting mixed micelles present TCP values progressively increasing with the C18-b-PEOx proportion, from 38 to 61 °C. This study demonstrates the relevance of the blending approach to tune the phase separation of micellar systems by formulation rather than by more tedious synthetic efforts. Shifting TCP through this approach extends the range of temperature where lipid-b-P(iPrOx) can find an application.

Abstract
As one kind of "smart" material, thermogelling polymers find applications in biofabrication, drug delivery and regenerative medicine. In this work, we report a thermosensitive poly(2-oxazoline)/poly(2-oxazine) based diblock copolymer comprising thermosensitive/moderately hydrophobic poly(2-N-propyl-2-oxazine) (pPrOzi) and thermosensitive/moderately hydrophilic poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (pEtOx). Hydrogels were only formed when block length exceeded certain length (≈100 repeat units). The tube inversion and rheological tests showed that the material has then a reversible sol-gel transition above 25 wt.% concentration. Rheological tests further revealed a gel strength around 3 kPa, high shear thinning property and rapid shear recovery after stress, which are highly desirable properties for extrusion based three-dimensional (3D) (bio) printing. Attributed to the rheology profile, well resolved printability and high stackability (with added laponite) was also possible. (Cryo) scanning electron microscopy exhibited a highly porous, interconnected, 3D network. The sol-state at lower temperatures (in ice bath) facilitated the homogeneous distribution of (fluorescently labelled) human adipose derived stem cells (hADSCs) in the hydrogel matrix. Post-printing live/dead assays revealed that the hADSCs encapsulated within the hydrogel remained viable (≈97%). This thermoreversible and (bio) printable hydrogel demonstrated promising properties for use in tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
For many decades, poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(2-oxazine)s, two closely related families of polymers, have led the life of a rather obscure research topic with only a few research groups world-wide working with them. This has changed in the last five to ten years, presumably triggered significantly by very promising clinical trials of the first poly(2-oxazoline)-based drug conjugate. The huge chemical and structural toolbox poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(2-oxazine)s has been extended very significantly in the last few years, but their potential still remains largely untapped. Here, specifically, the developments in macromolecular self-assemblies and non-covalent drug delivery systems such as polyplexes and drug nanoformulations based on poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(2-oxazine)s are reviewed. This highly dynamic field benefits particularly from the extensive synthetic toolbox poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(2-oxazine)s offer and also may have the largest potential for a further development. It is expected that the research dynamics will remain high in the next few years, particularly as more about the safety and therapeutic potential of poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(2-oxazine)s is learned.
