Influence of natural polysaccharides on the morphology and properties of hybrid vaterite microcrystals. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33801. [PMID: 39027545 PMCID: PMC11255504 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Co-precipitation of biopolymers into calcium carbonate crystals changes their physicochemical and biological properties. This work studies hybrid microcrystals of vaterite obtained in the presence of natural polysaccharides, as carriers for the delivery of proteins and enzymes. Hybrid microcrystals with dextran sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, heparin, fucoidan, and pectin were obtained and compared. The impact of polysaccharides on the morphology (particle diameter, surface area, nanocrystallite and pore size), polysaccharide content and surface charge of hybrid microcrystals was studied. Only microcrystals with fucoidan and heparin exhibited antioxidant activity against •ОН radical. The surface charge and pore size of the hybrid microcrystals affected the sorption of albumin, catalase, chymotrypsin, mucin. A decrease in the catalytic constant and Michaelis constant was observed for catalase sorbed on the hybrid crystals. The biocompatibility of microcrystals depended on the nature of the included polysaccharide: crystals with sulfated polysaccharides increased blood plasma coagulation but not platelet aggregation, and crystals with dextran sulfate had the greatest cytotoxicity against HT-29 cells but not erythrocytes. Hybrid microcrystals with all polysaccharides except chondroitin sulfate reduced erythrocyte lysis in vitro compared with vaterite crystals. The obtained results enable to create novel carriers based on hybrid vaterite crystals with polysaccharides, beneficial for the delivery of protein drugs.

ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS 2024; 7:2872-2886. [PMID: 38721671 PMCID: PMC11110054 DOI: 10.1021/acsabm.3c01228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Antimicrobial coatings provide protection against microbes colonization on surfaces. This can prevent the stabilization and proliferation of microorganisms. The ever-increasing levels of microbial resistance to antimicrobials are urging the development of alternative types of compounds that are potent across broad spectra of microorganisms and target different pathways. This will help to slow down the development of resistance and ideally halt it. The development of composite antimicrobial coatings (CACs) that can host and protect various antimicrobial agents and release them on demand is an approach to address this urgent need. In this work, new CACs based on microsized hybrids of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were designed using a drop-casting technique. Polyvinylpyrrolidone and mucin were used as additives. The CaCO3/AgNPs hybrids contributed to endowing colloidal stability to the AgNPs and controlling their release, thereby ensuring the antibacterial activity of the coatings. Moreover, the additives PVP and mucin served as a matrix to (i) control the distribution of the hybrids, (ii) ensure mechanical integrity, and (iii) prevent the undesired release of AgNPs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques were used to characterize the 15 μm thick CAC. The antibacterial activity was determined against Escherichia coli, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, three bacteria responsible for many healthcare infections. Antibacterial performance of the hybrids was demonstrated at concentrations between 15 and 30 μg/cm2. Unloaded CaCO3 also presented bactericidal properties against MRSA. In vitro cytotoxicity tests demonstrated that the hybrids at bactericidal concentrations did not affect human dermal fibroblasts and human mesenchymal stem cell viability. In conclusion, this work presents a simple approach for the design and testing of advanced multicomponent and functional antimicrobial coatings that can protect active agents and release them on demand.

Time-Delayed Anticancer Effect of an Extremely Low Frequency Alternating Magnetic Field and Multimodal Protein-Tannin-Mitoxantrone Carriers with Brillouin Microspectroscopy Visualization In Vitro. Biomedicines 2024; 12:443. [PMID: 38398045 PMCID: PMC10887239 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12020443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The effect of an extremely low frequency alternating magnetic field (ELF AMF) at frequencies of 17, 48, and 95 Hz at 100 mT on free and internalized 4T1 breast cancer cell submicron magnetic mineral carriers with an anticancer drug, mitoxantrone, was shown. The alternating magnetic field (100 mT; 17, 48, 95 Hz; time of treatment-10.5 min with a 30 s delay) does not lead to the significant destruction of carrier shells and release of mitoxantrone or bovine serum albumin from them according to the data of spectrophotometry, or the heating of carriers in the process of exposure to magnetic fields. The most optimal set of factors that would lead to the suppression of proliferation and survival of cells with anticancer drug carriers on the third day (in comparison with the control and first day) is exposure to an alternating magnetic field of 100 mT in a pulsed mode with a frequency of 95 Hz. The presence of magnetic nanocarriers in cell lines was carried out by a direct label-free method, space-resolved Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectrometry, which was realized for the first time. The analysis of the series of integrated BLS spectra showed an increase in the magnetic phase in cells with a growth in the number of particles per cell (from 10 to 100) after their internalization. The safety of magnetic carriers in the release of their constituent ions has been evaluated using atomic absorption spectrometry.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:44611-44623.

Abstract
The objective of the research was to identify significant variables that impact the porosity-related properties of CaCO3 particles. The Placket-Burman design was employed to screen multiple variables, including pH, molar concentrations of calcium chloride and sodium carbonate, temperature, concentration of Gelucire 44/14, Cremophor RH40, Solutol HS15, Labrasol, mixing rate, reaction time, and order of addition. The response variables were surface area, pore radius, and pore volume. Influential methodologies such as XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and TGA were utilized to validate the precipitate type. The BET surface area ranged from 1.5 to 16.14 m2/g, while the pore radius varied from 2.62 to 6.68 nm, and the pore volume exhibited a range of 2.43 to 37.97 cc/gm. Vaterite structures with spherical mesoporous characteristics were observed at high pH, whereas calcite formations occurred at low pH. The order of addition impacted the surface area but did not affect the pore volume. To maximize the surface area, a lower reaction time and molar concentrations of sodium carbonate were found to be advantageous. The pore radius was influenced by the pH, surfactants, and reaction conditions. The sediments were categorized based on the percentage of vaterite formation. The instrumental techniques effectively characterized the precipitates and provided a valuable complementary analysis.

Incorporation of Pectin into Vaterite Microparticles Prevented Effects of Adsorbed Mucin on Neutrophil Activation. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15927.

Abstract
The application of vaterite microparticles for mucosal delivery depends on their interaction with mucin and immune cells. As we have shown previously, the binding of mucin onto particles enhances the generation of reactive oxygen species by neutrophils. The attenuation of the pro-oxidant effect of the bound mucin through the modification of vaterite could improve its biocompatibility. Hybrid microparticles composed of vaterite and pectin (CCP) were prepared using co-precipitation. In comparison with vaterite (CC), they had a smaller diameter and pores, a greater surface area, and a negative zeta-potential. We aimed to study the cytotoxicity and mucin-dependent neutrophil-activating effect of CCP microparticles. The incorporated pectin did not influence the neutrophil damage according to a lactate dehydrogenase test. The difference in the CC- and CCP-elicited luminol or lucigenin chemiluminescence of neutrophils was insignificant, with no direct pro- or antioxidant effects from the incorporated pectin. Unlike soluble pectin, the CCP particles were ineffective at scavenging radicals in an ABAP-luminol test. The fluorescence of SYTOX Green demonstrated a CCP-stimulated formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). The pre-treatment of CC and CCP with mucin resulted in a 2.5-times-higher CL response of neutrophils to the CC-mucin than to the CCP-mucin. Thus, the incorporation of pectin into vaterite microspheres enabled an antioxidant effect to be reached when the neutrophils were activated by mucin-treated microparticles, presumably via exposed ligands.

Abstract
Nano- and microparticles enter the body through the respiratory airways and the digestive system, or form as biominerals in the gall bladder, salivary glands, urinary bladder, kidney, or diabetic pancreas. Calcium, magnesium, and phosphate ions can precipitate from biological fluids in the presence of mucin as hybrid nanoparticles. Calcium carbonate nanocrystallites also trap mucin and are assembled into hybrid microparticles. Both mucin and calcium carbonate polymorphs (calcite, aragonite, and vaterite) are known to be components of such biominerals as gallstones which provoke inflammatory reactions. Our study was aimed at evaluation of neutrophil activation by hybrid vaterite–mucin microparticles (CCM). Vaterite microparticles (CC) and CCM were prepared under standard conditions. The diameter of CC and CCM was 3.3 ± 0.8 µm and 5.8 ± 0.7 µm, with ƺ-potentials of −1 ± 1 mV and −7 ± 1 mV, respectively. CC microparticles injured less than 2% of erythrocytes in 2 h at 1.5 mg mL−1, and no hemolysis was detected with CCM; this let us exclude direct damage of cellular membranes by microparticles. Activation of neutrophils was analyzed by luminol- and lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence (Lum-CL and Luc-CL), by cytokine gene expression (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10) and release (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α), and by light microscopy of stained smears. There was a 10-fold and higher increase in the amplitude of Lum-CL and Luc-CL after stimulation of neutrophils with CCM relative to CC. Adsorption of mucin onto prefabricated CC microparticles also contributed to activation of neutrophil CL, unlike mucin adsorption onto yeast cell walls (zymosan); adsorbed mucin partially suppressed zymosan-stimulated production of oxidants by neutrophils. Preliminary treatment of CCM with 0.1–10 mM NaOCl decreased subsequent activation of Lum-CL and Luc-CL of neutrophils depending on the used NaOCl concentration, presumably because of the surface mucin oxidation. Based on the results of ELISA, incubation of neutrophils with CCM downregulated IL-6 production but upregulated that of IL-8. IL-6 and IL-8 gene expression in neutrophils was not affected by CC or CCM according to RT2-PCR data, which means that post-translational regulation was involved. Light microscopy revealed adhesion of CC and CCM microparticles onto the neutrophils; CCM increased neutrophil aggregation with a tendency to form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). We came to the conclusion that the main features of neutrophil reaction to mucin–vaterite hybrid microparticles are increased oxidant production, cell aggregation, and NET-like structure formation, but without significant cytokine release (except for IL-8). This effect of mucin is not anion-specific since particles of powdered kidney stone (mainly calcium oxalate) in the present study or calcium phosphate nanowires in our previous report also activated Lum-CL and Luc-CL response of neutrophils after mucin sorption.

Abstract
The recent successful application of lipid-based nanoparticles as delivery vehicles in COVID-19 vaccines demonstrated the superior potential of nanoparticle-based technology for targeted drug delivery in biomedicine. Among novel, rapidly advancing delivery platforms, the inorganic nano/microparticles gradually reach new heights and attract well-deserved attention among scientists and clinicians. Calcium carbonate in its vaterite form is used as a biocompatible carrier for a progressively increasing number of biomedical applications. Its growing popularity is conferred by beneficial porosity of particles, high mechanical stability, biodegradability under certain physiological conditions, ability to provide a continuous steady release of bioactives, preferential safety profile, and low cost, which make calcium carbonate a suitable entity of highly efficacious formulations for controlled drug delivery and release. The focal point of the current review is the success of the recent vaterite applications in the delivery of various diagnostics and therapeutic drugs. The manuscript highlights the nuances of drug loading in vaterite particles, connecting it with particle morphology, size, and charge of the loaded molecules, payload concentration, mono- or multiple drug loading. The manuscript also depicts recent successful methods of increasing the loading capacity developed for vaterite carriers. In addition, the review describes the various administration routes for vaterite particles with bioactive payloads, which were reported in recent years. Special attention is given to the multi-drug-loaded vaterite particles ("molecular cocktails") and reports on their successful delivery in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
While the enteral delivery of proteolytic enzymes is widely established for combating many diseases as an alternative to antibiotic treatment, their local delivery only emerges as administration route enabling sustained release in a controlled manner on site. The latest requires the development of drug delivery systems suitable for encapsulation and preservation of enzymatic proteolytic activity. This study proposes hybrid microspheres made of mucin and biodegradable porous crystals of calcium carbonate (CC) as the carriers for chymotrypsin (CTR) delivery. CTR was impregnated into CC and hybrid CC/mucin (CCM) microspheres by means of sorption without any chemical modification. The loading of the CC with mucin enhances CTR retention on hybrid microspheres (adsorption capacity of ca 8.7 versus 4.7 mg/g), recharging crystal surface due to the presence of mucin and diminishing the average pore diameter of the crystals from 25 to 8 nm. Mucin also retards recrystallization of vaterite into non-porous calcite improving stability of CCM microspheres upon storage. Proteolytic activity of CTR is preserved in both CC and CCM microspheres, being pH dependent. Temperature-induced inactivation of CTR significantly diminishes by CTR encapsulation into CC and CCM microspheres. Altogether, these findings indicate promises of hybrid mucin-vaterite microspheres for mucosal application of proteases. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Former studies have demonstrated a strong interest toward the crystallization of CaCO3 polymorphs in solution. Nowadays, CaCO3 crystallization on solid surfaces is extensively being studied using biomolecules as substrates for the control of the growth aiming at various applications of CaCO3. Calcium carbonate exists in an amorphous state, as three anhydrous polymorphs (aragonite, calcite and vaterite), and as two hydrated polymorphs (monohydrocalcite and ikaite). The vaterite polymorph is considered as one of the most attractive forms due to its large surface area, biocompatibility, mesoporous nature, and other features. Based on physical or chemical immobilization approaches, vaterite can be grown directly on solid surfaces using various (bio)molecules, including synthetic polymers, biomacromolecules such as proteins and peptides, carbohydrates, fibers, extracellular matrix components, and even biological cells such as bacteria. Herein, the progress on the modification of solid surfaces by vaterite CaCO3 crystals is reviewed, focusing on main findings and the mechanism of vaterite growth initiated by various substances mentioned above, as well as the discussion of the applications of such modified surfaces.

Abstract
Objective — Mucin can promote formation of gallstones via precipitation with calcium phosphate. The proinflammatory effect of mucin-coated particles is still unclear, and our aim was to study the role of mucin sorption in activation of neutrophil respiratory burst. Material and Methods — Polydisperse calcium phosphate nanowires (CP) were prepared from hot gelatin solution and according to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) had the length 1-10 μm and thickness 50-450 nm. CP were incubated in mucin or human serum albumin (HSA) giving CP-Muc and CP-HSA. Their hemolytic activity towards human erythrocytes was assayed, and neutrophil lucigenin- and luminol- chemiluminescence (Luc-CL and Lum-CL) response to CP, CP-HSA and CP-Muc was measured. Cytokine RNA was detected in neutrophils by means of reverse transcription with subsequent real-time PCR. Cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10) were assessed in cell medium by ELISA. Results and Conclusion — Hemolytic activity of CP was 3.0±0.5%, mucin sorption (0.019 mg/mg) reduced it to 0.24±0.04% (p<0.05) as well as HSA. CP and CP-HSA stimulated neutrophil Lum-CL and Luc-Cl by 2-3 times vs. spontaneous values while for CP-Muc the effect was 10-fold and higher. No increased cytokine gene expression or cytokine secretion was detected after 1h incubation of neutrophils with samples. Obviously, sorption of mucin but not that of HSA stimulated generation of reactive oxygen and halogen species with no increase in cytokine production. Thus, the mucin-coated CP has the potential to contribute to gallstone-associated cholecystitis via oxidative damage of mucosa and epithelium.

Abstract
Topical drug delivery is one of the most challenging aspects of eye therapy. Eye drops are the most prevalent drug form, especially for widely distributed anterior segment eye diseases (cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, inflammatory diseases, etc.), because they are convenient and easy to apply by patients. However, conventional drug formulations are usually characterized by short retention time in the tear film, insufficient contact with epithelium, fast elimination, and difficulties in overcoming ocular tissue barriers. Not more than 5% of the total drug dose administered in eye drops reaches the interior ocular tissues. To overcome the ocular drug delivery barriers and improve drug bioavailability, various conventional and novel drug delivery systems have been developed. Among these, nanosize carriers are the most attractive. The review is focused on the different drug carriers, such as synthetic and natural polymers, as well as inorganic carriers, with special attention to nanoparticles and nanomicelles. Studies in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated that new formulations could help to improve the bioavailability of the drugs, provide sustained drug release, enhance and prolong their therapeutic action. Promising results were obtained with drug-loaded nanoparticles included in in situ gel.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful analytical tool for label-free analysis that has found a broad spectrum of applications in material, chemical, and biomedical sciences. In recent years, a great interest has been witnessed in the rational design of SERS substrates to amplify Raman signals and optionally allow for the selective detection of analytes, which is especially essential and challenging for biomedical applications. In this study, hard templating of noble metals is proposed as a novel approach for the design of one-component tailor-made SERS platforms. Porous Au microparticles were fabricated via dual ex situ adsorption of Au nanoparticles and in situ reduction of HAuCl4 on mesoporous sacrificial microcrystals of vaterite CaCO3. Elimination of the microcrystals at mild conditions resulted in the formation of stable mesoporous one-component Au microshells. SERS performance of the microshells at very low 0.4 µW laser power was probed using rhodamine B and bovine serum albumin showing enhancement factors of 2 × 108 and 8 × 108, respectively. The proposed strategy opens broad avenues for the design and scalable fabrication of one-component porous metal particles that can serve as superior SERS platforms possessing both excellent plasmonic properties and the possibility of selective inclusion of analyte molecules and/or SERS nanotags for highly specific SERS analysis.

Abstract
One of the undeniable trends in modern bioengineering and nanotechnology is the use of various biomolecules, primarily of a polymeric nature, for the design and formulation of novel functional materials for controlled and targeted drug delivery, bioimaging and theranostics, tissue engineering, and other bioapplications. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, the possibility of replicating natural cellular microenvironments, and the minimal toxicity typical of biogenic polymers are features that have secured a growing interest in them as the building blocks for biomaterials of the fourth generation. Many recent studies showed the promise of the hard-templating approach for the fabrication of nano- and microparticles utilizing biopolymers. This review covers these studies, bringing together up-to-date knowledge on biopolymer-based multilayer capsules and beads, critically assessing the progress made in this field of research, and outlining the current challenges and perspectives of these architectures. According to the classification of the templates, the review sequentially considers biopolymer structures templated on non-porous particles, porous particles, and crystal drugs. Opportunities for the functionalization of biopolymer-based capsules to tailor them toward specific bioapplications is highlighted in a separate section.

Abstract
The polymer layer-by-layer assembly is accounted among the most attractive approaches for the design of advanced drug delivery platforms and biomimetic materials in 2D and 3D. The multilayer capsules can be made of synthetic or biologically relevant (e.g., natural) polymers. The biopolymers are advantageous for bioapplications; however, the design of such "biocapsules" is more challengeable due to intrinsic complexity and lability of biopolymers. Until now, there are no systematic studies that report the formation mechanism for multilayer biocapsules templated upon CaCO3 crystals. This work evaluates the structure-property relationship for 16 types of capsules made of different biopolymers and proposes the capsule formation mechanism. The capsules have been fabricated upon mesoporous cores of vaterite CaCO3, which served as a sacrificial template. Stable capsules of polycations poly-l-lysine or protamine and four different polyanions were successfully formed. However, capsules made using the polycation collagen and dextran amine underwent dissolution. Formation of the capsules has been correlated with the stability of the respective polyelectrolyte complexes at increased ionic strength. All formed capsules shrink upon core dissolution and the degree of shrinkage increased in the series of polyanions: heparin sulfate < dextran sulfate < chondroitin sulfate < hyaluronic acid. The same trend is observed for capsule adhesiveness to the glass surface, which correlates with the decrease in polymer charge density. The biopolymer length and charge density govern the capsule stability and internal structure; all formed biocapsules are of a matrix-type, other words are microgels. These findings can be translated to other biopolymers to predict biocapsule properties.

Abstract
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) hydrogels have broad potential applications as drug delivery vehicles because of their thermoresponsive behavior. pNIPAM loading/release performances are directly affected by the gel network structure. Therefore, there is a need with the approaches for accurate design of 3D pNIPAM assemblies with the structure ordered at the nanoscale. This study demonstrates size-selective spontaneous loading of macromolecules (dextrans 10-500 kDa) into pNIPAM microgels by microgel heating from 22 to 35 °C (microgels collapse and trap dextrans) followed by the dextran release upon further cooling down to 22 °C (microgels swell back) . This temperature-mediated behavior is fully reversible. The structure of pNIPAM microgels was tailored via hard templating and cross-linking of the hydrogel using sacrificial mesoporous cores of vaterite CaCO3 microcrystals. In addition, the fabrication of hollow thermoresponsive pNIPAM microshells has been demonstrated, utilizing vaterite microcrystals that had narrower pores. The proposed approach for heating-triggered encapsulation and cooling-triggered release into/from pNIPAM microgels may pave the ways for applications of pNIPAM hydrogels for skin and transdermal cooling-responsive drug delivery in the future.

Abstract
Rapid development of versatile layer-by-layer technology has resulted in important breakthroughs in the understanding of the nature of molecular interactions in multilayer assemblies made of polyelectrolytes. Nowadays, polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) are considered to be non-equilibrium and highly dynamic structures. High interest in biomedical applications of PEMs has attracted attention to PEMs made of biopolymers. Recent studies suggest that biopolymer dynamics determines the fate and the properties of such PEMs; however, deciphering, predicting and controlling the dynamics of polymers remains a challenge. This review brings together the up-to-date knowledge of the role of molecular dynamics in multilayers assembled from biopolymers. We discuss how molecular dynamics determines the properties of these PEMs from the nano to the macro scale, focusing on its role in PEM formation and non-enzymatic degradation. We summarize the factors allowing the control of molecular dynamics within PEMs, and therefore to tailor polymer multilayers on demand.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) is a highly multidisciplinary field that focuses on novel regenerative treatments and seeks to tackle problems relating to tissue growth both in vitro and in vivo. These issues currently involve the replacement and regeneration of defective tissues, as well as drug testing and other related bioapplications. The key approach in TE is to employ artificial structures (scaffolds) to support tissue development; these constructs should be capable of hosting, protecting and releasing bioactives that guide cellular behaviour. A straightforward approach to integrating bioactives into the scaffolds is discussed utilising polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PEMCs). Herein, this review illustrates the recent progress in the use of CaCO3 vaterite-templated PEMCs for the fabrication of functional scaffolds for TE applications, including bone TE as one of the main targets of PEMCs. Approaches for PEMC integration into scaffolds is addressed, taking into account the formulation, advantages, and disadvantages of such PEMCs, together with future perspectives of such architectures.

Encapsulation of Low-Molecular-Weight Drugs into Polymer Multilayer Capsules Templated on Vaterite CaCO 3 Crystals. MICROMACHINES 2020; 11:mi11080717.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PEMCs) templated onto biocompatible and easily degradable vaterite CaCO3 crystals via the layer-by-layer (LbL) polymer deposition process have served as multifunctional and tailor-made vehicles for advanced drug delivery. Since the last two decades, the PEMCs were utilized for effective encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.). However, their capacity to host low-molecular-weight (LMW) drugs (<1–2 kDa) has been demonstrated rather recently due to a limited retention ability of multilayers to small molecules. The safe and controlled delivery of LMW drugs plays a vital role for the treatment of cancers and other diseases, and, due to their tunable and inherent properties, PEMCs have shown to be good candidates for smart drug delivery. Herein, we summarize recent progress on the encapsulation of LMW drugs into PEMCs templated onto vaterite CaCO3 crystals. The drug loading and release mechanisms, advantages and limitations of the PEMCs as LMW drug carriers, as well as bio-applications of drug-laden capsules are discussed based upon the recent literature findings.

Abstract
Formulation of multifunctional biopolymer-based scaffolds is one of the major focuses in modern tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Besides proper mechanical/chemical properties, an ideal scaffold should: (i) possess a well-tuned porous internal structure for cell seeding/growth and (ii) host bioactive molecules to be protected against biodegradation and presented to cells when required. Alginate hydrogels were extensively developed to serve as scaffolds, and recent advances in the hydrogel formulation demonstrate their applicability as "ideal" soft scaffolds. This review focuses on advanced porous alginate scaffolds (PAS) fabricated using hard templating on vaterite CaCO3 crystals. These novel tailor-made soft structures can be prepared at physiologically relevant conditions offering a high level of control over their internal structure and high performance for loading/release of bioactive macromolecules. The novel approach to assemble PAS is compared with traditional methods used for fabrication of porous alginate hydrogels. Finally, future perspectives and applications of PAS for advanced cell culture, tissue engineering, and drug testing are discussed.
