Abstract
Concurrent developments in anticancer nanotechnological treatments have been observed as the burden of cancer increases every year. The 21st century has seen a transformation in the study of medicine thanks to the advancement in the field of material science and nanomedicine. Improved drug delivery systems with proven efficacy and fewer side effects have been made possible. Nanoformulations with varied functions are being created using lipids, polymers, and inorganic and peptide-based nanomedicines. Therefore, thorough knowledge of these intelligent nanomedicines is crucial for developing very promising drug delivery systems. Polymeric micelles are often simple to make and have high solubilization characteristics; as a result, they seem to be a promising alternative to other nanosystems. Even though recent studies have provided an overview of polymeric micelles, here we included a discussion on the "intelligent" drug delivery from these systems. We also summarized the state-of-the-art and the most recent developments of polymeric micellar systems with respect to cancer treatments. Additionally, we gave significant attention to the clinical translation potential of polymeric micellar systems in the treatment of various cancers.

Abstract
Cancer, also known as a malignant tumor, has developed into a type of disease with the highest fatality rate, seriously threatening the lives and health of people. Chemotherapy is one of the most important methods for the treatment of cancer. However, chemotherapy drugs have some problems, such as low solubility and lack of targeting, which severely limit their clinical applications. To solve these problems, we designed a block copolymer that has a disulfide bond response. The polymer uses RGD peptide (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) as the active targeting group, PEG (polyethylene glycol) as the hydrophilic end, and PCL (polycaprolactone) as the hydrophobic end. Then we utilized the amphiphilic polymer as a carrier to simultaneously deliver DOC (docetaxel) and ICG (indocyanine green), to realize the combined application of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. The antitumor efficacy in vivo and histology analysis showed that the DOC/ICG-loaded micelle exhibited higher antitumor activity. The drug delivery system improved the solubility of DOC and the stability of ICG, realized NIR-guided photothermal therapy, and achieved an ideal therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Soft nanoparticles continue to offer a promising platform for the encapsulation and controlled delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs and help enhance their bioavailability at targeted sites. Linear amphiphilic block copolymers are the most extensively investigated in formulating delivery vehicles. However, more recently, there has been increasing interest in utilizing branched macromolecules for nanomedicine, as these have been shown to lower critical micelle concentrations, form particles of smaller dimensions, facilitate the inclusion of varied compositions and function-based entities, as well as provide prolonged and sustained release of cargo. In this review, it is aimed to discuss some of the key variables that are studied in tailoring branched architecture-based assemblies, and their influence on drug loading and delivery. By understanding structure-property relationships in these formulations, one can better design branched star polymers with suitable characteristics for efficient therapeutic interventions. The role played by polymer composition, chain architecture, crosslinking, stereocomplexation, compatibility between polymers and drugs, drug/polymer concentrations, and self-assembly methods in their performance as nanocarriers is highlighted.

Abstract
Lactones are a group of compounds that have been known for several decades. The commercial importance of lactones results from the possibility of manufacturing of a broad scope of derivatives and polymers with a wide spectrum of applications. In this work the synthesis and characterization of simple lactones are described, which due to the easy methods of the synthesis are of high importance for the industry. The chemical as well as biochemical methods are included with special attention paid to the methods that avoid metal catalysts, initiators or toxic solvents, allowing the use of the final products for the medical applications, e.g., for controlled drug-release systems, resorbable surgical threads, implants, tissue scaffolds or for the production of drugs. Lactone-based derivatives, such as polymers, copolymers, composites or three-dimensional structures are also presented. The work is focused on the methods for the synthesis of lactones and lactones derivates, as well as on the special properties and application of the studied compounds.

Abstract
This study reports targetable micelles developed after covalent functionalization of α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) with amino phenylboronic acid (APBA). Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopic results showed successful attachment of APBA to the hydrophilic segment of TPGS. Dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering studies revealed that the conjugate self-assembled in water to produce spherical core-shell micelles (14–20 nm) which remained stable against temperature (ca. 25–45 °C) and pH changes. The micelles could solubilize a high payload of paclitaxel (PLX) without exhibiting changes in the average size. However, at the saturation solubility, drug molecules migrated from the core to the shell region and engaged with APBA groups via π–π stacking interaction. Confocal microscopy and cell sorting analyses verified the effective translocation ability of TPGS-APBA micelles in sialic acid (SA) expressing MDA-MB-453 cells. At equivalent PLX dose, TPGS-APBA micelles showed about a twofold improvement in apoptotic death among the cells exposed for 2 h. Our findings indicate that the attachment of APBA can be a potential strategy for improving the intra-cellular localization of carriers among cancer cells expressing SA residues.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(butylmethacrylate) (PEO-b-PBMA) copolymers have recently been identified as excellent building blocks for the synthesis of hierarchical nanoporous materials. Nevertheless, while experiments have unveiled their potential to form bicontinuous phases and vesicles, a general picture of their phase and aggregation behavior is still missing. By performing Molecular Dynamics simulations, we here apply our recent coarse-grained model of PEO-b-PBMA to investigate its self-assembly in water and tetrahydrofuran (THF) and unveil the occurrence of a wide spectrum of mesophases. In particular, we find that the morphological phase diagram of this ternary system incorporates bicontinuous and lamellar phases at high copolymer concentrations, and finite-size aggregates, such as dispersed sheets or disk-like aggregates, spherical vesicles and rod-like vesicles, at low copolymer concentrations. The morphology of these mesophases can be controlled by tuning the THF/water relative content, which has a striking effect on the kinetics of self-assembly as well as on the resulting equilibrium structures. Our results disclose the fascinating potential of PEO-b-PBMA copolymers for the templated synthesis of nanostructured materials and offer a guideline to fine-tune their properties by accurately selecting the THF/water ratio.

Abstract
Nanoscale polymers systems have dominated the revolution of drug delivery advancement. Their potential in the fight against cancer is unrivalled with other technologies. Their functionality increase, targeting ability and stimuli responsive nature have led to a major boom in research focus. This review article concentrates on the use of these smart polymers in cancer therapy. Nanotechnologies have shown potential as drug carriers leading to increased drug efficacy and penetration. Multifunctional smart carriers which can release their payload upon an external or internal trigger such as pH or temperature are proving to be major frontrunners in the development of effective strategies to overcome this disease with minimal patient side effects.
