Abstract
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive and lethal types of cancer owing to its metastatic propensity and chemoresistance property. An alternative therapeutic option is photodynamic and photothermal therapies (PDT/PTT), which employ near-infrared (NIR) light to generate heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS). As per previous reports, Melanin (Mel), and its synthetic analogs (i.e. polydopamine nanoparticles) can induce NIR light-mediated heat energy, thereby selectively targeting and ameliorating cancer cells. Similarly, chlorin e6 (Ce6) also has high ROS generation ability and antitumor activity against various types of cancer. Based on this tenet, In the current study, we have encapsulated Mel-Ce6 in a polydopamine (PDA) nanocarrier (MCP NPs) synthesized by the oxidation polymerization method. The hydrodynamic diameter of the synthesized spherical MCP NPs was 139 ± 10 nm. The MCP NPs, upon irradiation with NIR 690 nm laser for 6 min, showed photothermal efficacy of more than 50 °C. Moreover, the red fluorescence in the MCP NPs due to Ce6 can be leveraged for diagnostic purposes. Further, the MCP NPs exhibited considerable biocompatibility with the L929 cell line and exerted nearly 70% ROS-mediated cytotoxicity on the B16 melanoma cell line after the laser irradiation. Thus, the prepared MCP NPs could be a promising theranostic agent for treating the B16 melanoma cancer.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds remain a worldwide challenge for both the clinic and research. Given the vicious circle of oxidative stress and inflammatory response as well as the impaired angiogenesis of the diabetic wound tissues, the wound healing process is disturbed and poorly responds to the current treatments. In this work, a nickel-based metal-organic framework (MOF, Ni-HHTP) with excellent antioxidant activity and proangiogenic function is developed to accelerate the healing process of chronic diabetic wounds. The Ni-HHTP can mimic the enzymatic catalytic activities of antioxidant enzymes to eliminate multi-types of reactive species through electron transfer reactions, which protects cells from oxidative stress-related damage. Moreover, this Ni-based MOF can promote cell migration and angiogenesis by activating transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in vitro and reprogram macrophages to the anti-inflammatory phenotype. Importantly, Ni-HHTP effectively promotes the healing process of diabetic wounds by suppressing the inflammatory response and enhancing angiogenesis in vivo. This study reports a versatile and promising MOF-based nanozyme for diabetic wound healing, which may be extended in combination with other wound dressings to enhance the management of diabetic or non-healing wounds.

Abstract
The various tissue damages are a severe problem to human health. The limited human tissue regenerate ability requires suitable biomaterials to help damage tissue repair and regeneration. Therefore, many researchers devoted themselves to exploring biomaterials suitable for tissue repair and regeneration. Polydopamine (PDA) as a natural and multifunctional material which is inspired by mussel has been widely applied in different biomaterials. The excellent properties of PDA, such as strong adhesion, photothermal and high drug-loaded capacity, seem to be born for tissue repair and regeneration. Furthermore, PDA combined with different materials can exert unexpected effects. Thus, to inspire researchers, this review summarizes the recent and representative development of PDA biomaterials in tissue repair and regeneration. This article focuses on why apply PDA in these biomaterials and what PDA can do in different tissue injuries.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease pathologically caused by amyloid-β protein (Aβ) aggregation, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. The pathogenesis of AD is still uncertain and intricate, and helpful therapy has rarely been recorded. So, discovering amyloid modulators is deemed a promising avenue for preventing and treating AD. In this study, human serum albumin (HSA), a protein-based Aβ inhibitor, was utilized as a template to guide the synthesis of HSA-manganese dioxide nanocomposites (HMn NCs) through biomineralization. The in situ formed MnO2 in HSA endows this nano-platform with outstanding reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capability, including superoxide dismutase-mimetic and catalase-mimetic activities, which could scavenge the plethora of superoxide anion radicals and hydrogen peroxide. More importantly, the HMn NCs show enhanced potency in suppressing Aβ fibrillization compared with HSA, which further alleviates Aβ-mediated SH-SY5Y neurotoxicity by scavenging excessive ROS. Moreover, it is demonstrated that HMn NCs reduce Aβ-related inflammation in BV-2 cells by lowering tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6. Furthermore, transgenic C. elegans studies showed that HMn NCs could remove Aβ plaques, reduce ROS in CL2006 worms, and promote the lifespan extension of worms. Thus, HMn NCs provide a promising tactic to facilitate the application of multifunctional nanocomposites in AD treatment.

Towards nanostructured red-ox active bio-interfaces: Bioinspired antibacterial hybrid melanin-CeO 2 nanoparticles for radical homeostasis. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 153:213558. [PMID: 37467646 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
Redox-active nano-biointerfaces are gaining weight in the field of regenerative medicine since they can act as enzymes in regulating physiological processes and enabling cell homeostasis, as well as the defense against pathogen aggression. In particular, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) stand as intriguing enzyme-mimicking nanoplatforms, owing to the reversible Ce+3/Ce+4 surface oxidation state. Moreover, surface functionalization leads to higher catalytic activity and selectivity, as well as more tunable enzyme-mimicking performances. Conjugation with melanin is an adequate strategy to boost and enrich CeO2 NPs biological features, because of melanin redox properties accounting for intrinsic antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory power. Herein, hybrid Melanin/CeO2 nanostructures were designed by simply coating the metal-oxide nanoparticles with melanin chains, obtained in-situ through ligand-to-metal charge transfer mechanism, according to a bioinspired approach. Obtained hybrid nanostructures underwent detailed physico-chemical characterization. Morphological and textural features were investigated through TEM, XRD and N2 physisorption. The nature of nanoparticle-melanin interaction was analyzed through FTIR, UV-vis and EPR spectroscopy. Melanin-coated hybrid nanostructures exhibited a relevant antioxidant activity, confirmed by a powerful quenching effect for DPPH radical, reaching 81 % inhibition at 33 μg/mL. A promising anti-inflammatory efficacy of the melanin-coated hybrid nanostructures was validated through a significant inhibition of BSA denaturation after 3 h. Meanwhile, the enzyme-mimicking activity was corroborated by a prolonged peroxidase activity after 8 h at 100 μg/mL and a relevant catalase-like action, by halving the H2O2 level in 30 min at 50 μg/mL. Antimicrobial assays attested that conjugation with melanin dramatically boosted CeO2 biocide activity against both Gram (-) and Gram (+) strains. Cytocompatibility tests demonstrated that the melanin coating not only enhanced the CeO2 nanostructures biomimicry, resulting in improved cell viability for human dermal fibroblast cells (HDFs), but mostly they proved that Melanin-CeO2 NPs were able to control the oxidative stress, modulating the production of nitrite and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in HDFs, under physiological conditions. Such remarkable outcomes make hybrid melanin-CeO2 nanozymes, promising redox-active interfaces for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation can lead to a series of skin problems. Although commercial sunscreens can protect skin from UV-induced damage to an extent, the side effects caused by such products are still worrisome. Here, inspired by the natural photoprotection effect of human hair, we extracted the multifunctional particles from human hair as sunscreens for UV protection. Both in vitro and in vivo results indicate that hair-derived particles (HDPs) could effectively protect skin from UV radiation. Besides, HDPs retain the antioxidant capability of melanin in hair, which avoids UV-induced oxidative damage. In addition, the unique shape of HDPs can prevent them from penetrating into the skin, thus avoiding potential toxicity. Moreover, owing to their mesoporous structure, the particles can also be used as drug carriers. With the loading of octocrylene, the particles are more effective in blocking UV radiation. This study provides an ingenious tactic for the design and development of sunscreens from a natural substance.

Abstract
A unique feature of nanoparticles for bio-application is the ease of achieving multi-functionality through covalent and non-covalent functionalization. In this way, multiple therapeutic actions, including chemical, photothermal and photodynamic activity, can be combined with different bio-imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance, photoacoustic, and fluorescence imaging, in a theragnostic approach. In this context, melanin-related nanomaterials possess unique features since they are intrinsically biocompatible and, due to their optical and electronic properties, are themselves very efficient photothermal agents, efficient antioxidants, and photoacoustic contrast agents. Moreover, these materials present a unique versatility of functionalization, which makes them ideal for the design of multifunctional platforms for nanomedicine integrating new functions such as drug delivery and controlled release, gene therapy, or contrast ability in magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging. In this review, the most relevant and recent examples of melanin-based multi-functionalized nanosystems are discussed, highlighting the different methods of functionalization and, in particular, distinguishing pre-functionalization and post-functionalization. In the meantime, the properties of melanin coatings employable for the functionalization of a variety of material substrates are also briefly introduced, especially in order to explain the origin of the versatility of melanin functionalization. In the final part, the most relevant critical issues related to melanin functionalization that may arise during the design of multifunctional melanin-like nanoplatforms for nanomedicine and bio-application are listed and discussed.

Abstract
Selenium exists in the form of selenocysteines in selenoproteins and plays a pivotal role in the catalytic process of the antioxidative enzymes. In order to study the structural and functional properties of selenium in selenoproteins, explore the significance of the role of selenium in the fields of biology and chemistry, scientists conducted a series of artificial simulations on selenoproteins. In this review, we sum up the progress and developed strategies in the construction of artificial selenoenzyme. Using different mechanisms from different catalytic angles, selenium-containing catalytic antibodies, semi-synthetic selenonezyme, and the selenium-containing molecularly imprinted enzymes have been constructed. A variety of synthetic selenoenzyme models have been designed and constructed by selecting host molecules such as cyclodextrins, dendrimers, and hyperbranched polymers as the main scaffolds. Then, a variety of selenoprotein assemblies as well as cascade antioxidant nanoenzymes were built by using electrostatic interaction, metal coordination, and host-guest interaction. The unique redox properties of selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx) can be reproduced.

Overproduced reactive oxygen species and the induced oxidative stress and neuroinflammation often result in secondary injury, which is associated with unfavorable prognosis in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Unfortunately, current medications cannot effectively ameliorate the secondary injury at traumatic sites. Here, it is reported that intrinsically bioactive multifunctional nanocomposites (ANG-MnEMNPs-Cur, AMEC) mediate antioxidation and anti-neuroinflammation for targeted TBI theranostics, which are engineered by loading the neuroprotective agent curcumin on angiopep-2 functionalized and manganese doped eumelanin-like nanoparticles. After intravenous delivery, efficient AMEC accumulation is observed in lesions of TBI mice models established by controlled cortical impact method, evidenced by T1 -T2 magnetic resonance and photoacoustic dual-modal imaging. Therapeutically, AMEC effectively alleviates neuroinflammation, protects blood-brain barrier integrity, relieves brain edema, reduces brain tissue loss, and improves the cognition of TBI mice. Mechanistically, following the penetration into the traumatic tissues via angiopep-2 mediated targeting effect, the efficacy of AMEC is synergistically improved by combined functional moieties of curcumin and eumelanin. This is achieved by the alleviation of oxidative stress, inhibition of neuroinflammation via M1-to-M2 macrophage reprogramming, and promotion of neuronal regeneration. The as-developed AMEC with well-defined mechanisms of action may represent a promising targeted theranostics strategy for TBI and other neuroinflammation-associated intracranial diseases.

Abstract
Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cumulative oxidative stress induce the degeneration of neuromelanin-containing dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) of PD patients. Due to its redox property, melanin-like polydopamine (PDA) has been studied for its ability to remove ROS with a series of antioxidant enzyme mimetic activities including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is important for maintaining ROS metabolic homeostasis, but only a few GPx-like nanozymes have been studied for in vivo therapy. As we know, selenocysteine is essential for the antioxidant activity of GPx. Hence, we co-synthesized PDA with selenocystine (SeCys) to prepare a nanocomposite (PDASeCys) with GPx-like activity. The results showed that the PDASeCys nanocomposite has the same CAT and SOD enzymatic activities as PDA but better free radical scavenging efficiency and additional GPx enzymatic activity than PDA. In the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridine ion (MPP+)-induced PD cell model, PDASeCys could increase intracellular GPx levels effectively and protect SH-SY5Y neuronal cells from oxidative stress caused by MPP+. In vivo, the PDASeCys nanocomposite effectively inhibited 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridinium (MPTP)-induced Parkinson-related symptoms of mice when it was injected into the substantia nigra (SN). This polydopamine-based nanocomposite containing selenocystine with a variety of enzymatic activities including GPx-like activity synthesized by a one-pot method provides convenience and safety in the neuromelanin-like nanozyme-based therapeutic strategy for oxidative stress-induced PD.

Abstract
Lactate accumulation in the solid tumor is highly relevant to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Targeting lactate metabolism significantly enhances the efficacy of immunotherapy. However, lactate depletion by lactate oxidase (LOX) consumes oxygen and results in the aggravated hypoxia situation, counteracting the benefit of lactate depletion. Beyond the TME regulation, it is necessary to initiate the effective immunity cycle for therapeutic purposes. In this fashion, dual close-loop of catalyzed lactate depletion and immune response by a rational material design are established to address this issue. Here, we constructed PEG-modified mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles with Cu2+ chelation and LOX encapsulation (denoted as mCuLP). After mCuLP nanosystems targeting into the tumor sites, released LOX consumes lactate to H2O2. Subsequently, the produced H2O2 is further catalyzed by Cu2+-chelated mPDA to produce oxygen, supplying the oxygen source for the closed-loop of lactate depletion. Meanwhile, the mild PTT caused by the photothermal mPDA induces ICD of tumor cells to promote DC maturation and then T lymphocyte infiltration to kill tumor cells, which forms another closed-loop for cancer immunity. Therefore, this dual closed-loop strategy of mCuLP nanosystems effectively inhibits tumor growth, providing a promising treatment modality to cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-augmented tumor ablation with sono-catalysts has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality due to high tissue penetration, nonionizing performance, and low cost of US-based therapies. Developing peroxisome-mimetic cascade biocatalysts for US-augmented synergistic treatment would further effectively reduce the dependence of the microenvironment H2O2 and enhance the tumor-localized reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Here, we proposed and synthesized a novel spiky cascade biocatalyst as peroxisome-mimics that consist of multiple enzyme-mimics, i.e., glucose oxidase-mimics (Au nanoparticles for producing H2O2) and heme-mimetic atomic catalytic centers (Fe-porphyrin for ROS generation), for US-augmented cascade-catalytic tumor therapy. The synthesized spiky cascade biocatalysts exhibit an obvious spiky structure, uniform nanoscale size, independent of endogenous H2O2, and efficient US-responsive biocatalytic activities. The enzyme-mimetic biocatalytic experiments show that the spiky cascade biocatalysts can generate abundant ·OH via a cascade chemodynamic path and also 1O2 via US excitation. Then, we demonstrate that the spiky cascade biocatalysts show highly efficient ROS production to promote melanoma cell apoptosis under US irradiation without extra H2O2. Our in vivo animal data further reveal that the proposed US-assisted chemodynamic cascade therapies can significantly augment the therapy efficacy of malignant melanoma. We suggest that these efficient peroxisome-mimetic cascade-catalytic strategies will be promising for clinical tumor therapies.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that involves excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and osteochondral defects. Although multiple approaches have been developed for osteochondral regeneration, how to balance the biochemical and physical microenvironment in OA remains a big challenge. In this study, a bioceramic scaffold by 3D printed akermanite (AKT) integrated with hair-derived antioxidative nanoparticles (HNPs)/microparticles (HMPs) for ROS scavenging and osteochondral regeneration has been developed. The prepared bioscaffold with multi-mimetic enzyme effects, which can scavenge a broad spectrum of free radicals in OA, can protect chondrocytes under the ROS microenvironment. Importantly, the bioscaffold can distinctly stimulate the proliferation and maturation of chondrocytes due to the stimulation of the glucose transporter pathway (GLUT) via HNPs/HMPs. Furthermore, it significantly accelerated osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). In vivo results showed that the bioscaffold can effectively enhance the osteochondral regeneration compared to the unmodified scaffold. The work shows that integration of antioxidant and mechanical properties via the bioscaffold is a promising strategy for osteochondral regeneration in OA treatment.

Abstract
Metal ions are of widespread interest owing to their brilliant biomedical functions. However, a simple and universal nanoplatform designed for assembling a range of functional metal ions has not been explored. In this study, a concept of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transport of metal ions is proposed. 31 types of PEG-metal hybrid nanoparticles (P-MNPs) are successfully synthesized through anionic ring-opening polymerization (ROP), "thiol-ene" click reaction, and subsequent incorporation with multiple metal ions. Compared with other methods, the facile method proposed in this study can provide a feasible approach to design MNPs (mostly <200 nm) containing different metal ions and thus to explore their potential for cancer theranostics. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, four types P-MNPs, i.e., PEG-metal hybrid copper nanoparticles (PEG-Cu NPs), ruthenium nanoparticles (PEG-Ru NPs), and manganese nanoparticles (PEG-Mn NPs) or gadolinium nanoparticles (PEG-Gd NPs), are proven to be tailored for chemodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and magnetic resonance imaging of tumors, respectively. Overall, this study provides several metal ions-based nanomaterials with versatile functions for broad applications in cancer theranostics. Furthermore, it offers a promising tool that can be utilized for processing other metal-based nanoparticles and exploring their potential in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Healing of intestinal chronic wounds remains a major challenge as current therapies are ineffective in promoting proper regeneration of the damaged intestinal wall. An innovative concept, based on a bioinspired multifunctional alginate-melanin hybrid 3D scaffold, to target both inflammatory and regenerative processes, is proposed herein. Hydrogel-entrapped melanin nanoparticles demonstrated free-radical scavenging activity, supported by the neutralization of free-radicals in solution (90%), and the in vitro capture of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by stimulated macrophages in an inflammatory-mimicking environment. Notably, scaffolds could be reused (at least 3 times), while maintaining these properties. The extracellular matrix (ECM)-inspired biomaterial, containing protease-sensitive and integrin-binding domains, exhibited remarkable ability for cell colonisation. Human intestinal fibroblasts and epithelial cells (Caco-2) co-seeded on lyophilized scaffolds were able to invade/colonize the construct and produce endogenous ECM, key for neo-tissue formation and re-epithelialization. Scaffolds presented tuneable mechanical properties and could be used both in hydrated and freeze-dried states, maintaining their performance upon rehydration, which are attractive features for clinical application. Collectively, our results highlight the potential of biofunctionalized alginate-melanin hybrid 3D scaffolds as multi-therapeutic patches for modulating inflammation and tissue regeneration in chronic intestinal wounds, which address a major but still unmet clinical need. The proposed multi-therapeutic strategy may potentially be extended to the treatment of other chronic wounds.

Abstract
Biocompatible nano-antioxidants composed of natural molecules/materials, such as dopamine and melanin, are of great interest for diverse biomedical applications. However, the lack of understanding of the precise structure of these biomaterials and thus the actual dose of effective components impedes their advancement to translation. Herein, a strategy to mimic in situ melanin formation and explore its antioxidative applications is reported, by developing a PEGylated, phenylboronic-acid-protected L-DOPA precursor (PAD) that can self-assemble into well-defined nanoparticles (PADN). Exposure to oxidative species leads to deprotection of phenylboronic acids, transforming PADN to PEG-L-DOPA, which, similar to the biosynthetic pathway of melanin, can be oxidized and polymerized into an antioxidative melanin-like structure. With ultrahigh stability and superior antioxidative activity, the PADN shows remarkable efficacy in prevention and treatment of acute liver injury/failure. Moreover, the in situ structure transformation enables PADN to visualize damaged tissue noninvasively by photoacoustic imaging. Overall, a bioinspired antioxidant with precise structure and site-specific biological activity for theranostics of oxidative stress-related diseases is described.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-mediated cancer therapeutics is a fast developing field and has been utilized in potential clinical applications. However, most effective therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radio therapy (RT), are strongly oxygen-dependent, which hinders their practical applications. Later on, several strategies were developed to overcome tumor hypoxia, such as oxygen carrier nanomaterials and oxygen generated nanomaterials. Among these, oxygen species generation on nanozymes, especially catalase (CAT) mimetic nanozymes, convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxygen (O2) and peroxidase (POD) mimetic nanozymes converts endogenous H2O2 to water (H2O) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a hypoxic tumor microenvironment is a fascinating approach. The present review provides a detailed examination of past, present and future perspectives of POD mimetic nanozymes for effective oxygen-dependent cancer phototherapeutics.

Abstract
Disulfiram (DSF) is an important drug for the treatment and management of alcohol dependency. This drug has been approved by US-FDA, and its activity against the tumor is dependent on copper ion (Cu2+). However, the copper toxicity (caused via external copper) and its intrinsic anfractuous distribution in the human body have adversely suppressed the mechanism of DSF in in vivo. In this study, we aimed to design an injectable hydrogel, as CRC (Cu2+ release controller) for the effective treatment of tumors. The hydrogels of agarose have been used for wrapping of CuCl2, and hierarchical microparticles (HMP) for the generation of CRC system. When the laser irradiations (808 nm) have been provided to the system, light energy is transferred into heat energy, which results in the hydrogel hydrolysis (reversible) due to the overheating effect. This is followed by a reaction with DSF (pre-injected) to suppress tumor progression. Hence, the CRC system brings innovative ideas for designing of a Cu2+ delivery system.

Abstract
The potentiality of nano-enzymes in therapeutic use has directed contemporary research to develop a substitute for natural enzymes, which are suffering from several disadvantages including low stability, high cost, and difficulty in storage. However, inherent toxicity, inefficiency in the physiological milieu, and incompatibility to function in cellular enzyme networks limit the therapeutic use of nanozymes in living systems. Here, it is shown that citrate functionalized manganese-based biocompatible nanoscale material (C-Mn3 O4 NP) efficiently mimics glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme in the physiological milieu and easily incorporates into the cellular multienzyme cascade for H2 O2 scavenging. A detailed computational study reveals the mechanism of the nanozyme action. The in vivo therapeutic efficacy of C-Mn3 O4 nanozyme is further established in a preclinical animal model of Huntington's disease (HD), a prevalent progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which has no effective medication to date. Management of HD in preclinical animal trial using a biocompatible (non-toxic) nanozyme as a part of the metabolic network may uncover a new paradigm in nanozyme based therapeutic strategy.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 10:E2276. [PMID: 33212974 PMCID: PMC7698489 DOI: 10.3390/nano10112276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Bioinspired nanomaterials are ideal components for nanomedicine, by virtue of their expected biocompatibility or even complete lack of toxicity. Natural and artificial melanin-based nanoparticles (MNP), including polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NP), excel for their extraordinary combination of additional optical, electronic, chemical, photophysical, and photochemical properties. Thanks to these features, melanin plays an important multifunctional role in the design of new platforms for nanomedicine where this material works not only as a mechanical support or scaffold, but as an active component for imaging, even multimodal, and simple or synergistic therapy. The number of examples of bio-applications of MNP increased dramatically in the last decade. Here, we review the most recent ones, focusing on the multiplicity of functions that melanin performs in theranostics platforms with increasing complexity. For the sake of clarity, we start analyzing briefly the main properties of melanin and its derivative as well as main natural sources and synthetic methods, moving to imaging application from mono-modal (fluorescence, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance) to multi-modal, and then to mono-therapy (drug delivery, anti-oxidant, photothermal, and photodynamic), and finally to theranostics and synergistic therapies, including gene- and immuno- in combination to photothermal and photodynamic. Nanomedicine aims not only at the treatment of diseases, but also to their prevention, and melanin in nature performs a protective action, in the form of nanopigment, against UV-Vis radiations and oxidants. With these functions being at the border between nanomedicine and cosmetics nanotechnology, recently examples of applications of artificial MNP in cosmetics are increasing, paving the road to the birth of the new science of nanocosmetics. In the last part of this review, we summarize and discuss these important recent results that establish evidence of the interconnection between nanomedicine and cosmetics nanotechnology.

Abstract
Melanins are a group of dark insoluble pigments found widespread in nature. In mammals, the brown-black eumelanins and the reddish-yellow pheomelanins are the main determinants of skin, hair, and eye pigmentation and play a significant role in photoprotection as well as in many biological functions ensuring homeostasis. Due to their broad-spectrum light absorption, radical scavenging, electric conductivity, and paramagnetic behavior, eumelanins are widely studied in the biomedical field. The continuing advancements in the development of biomimetic design strategies offer novel opportunities toward specifically engineered multifunctional biomaterials for regenerative medicine. Melanin and melanin-like coatings have been shown to increase cell attachment and proliferation on different substrates and to promote and ameliorate skin, bone, and nerve defect healing in several in vivo models. Herein, the state of the art and future perspectives of melanins as promising bioinspired platforms for natural regeneration processes are highlighted and discussed.
