Abstract
Polypeptides have shown an excellent potential in nanomedicine thanks to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, high functionality, and responsiveness to several stimuli. Polypeptides exhibit high propensity to organize at the supramolecular level; hence, they have been extensively considered as building blocks in the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. The LbL technique is a highly versatile methodology, which involves the sequential assembly of building blocks, mainly driven by electrostatic interactions, onto planar or colloidal templates to fabricate sophisticated multilayer nanoarchitectures. The simplicity and the mild conditions required in the LbL approach have led to the inclusion of biopolymers and bioactive molecules for the fabrication of a wide spectrum of biodegradable, biocompatible, and precisely engineered multilayer films for biomedical applications. This review focuses on those examples in which polypeptides have been used as building blocks of multilayer nanoarchitectures for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications, highlighting the characteristics of the polypeptides and the strategies adopted to increase the stability of the multilayer film. Cross-linking is presented as a powerful strategy to enhance the stability and stiffness of the multilayer network, which is a fundamental requirement for biomedical applications. For example, in tissue engineering, a stiff multilayer coating, the presence of adhesion promoters, and/or bioactive molecules boost the adhesion, growth, and differentiation of cells. On the contrary, antimicrobial coatings should repel and inhibit the growth of bacteria. In drug delivery applications, mainly focused on particles and capsules at the micro- and nano-meter scale, the stability of the multilayer film is crucial in terms of retention and controlled release of the payload. Recent advances have shown the key role of the polypeptides in the adsorption of genetic material with high loading efficiency, and in addressing different pathways of the particles/capsules during the intracellular uptake, paving the way for applications in personalized medicine. Although there are a few studies, the responsiveness of the polypeptides to the pH changes, together with the inclusion of stimuli-responsive entities into the multilayer network, represents a further key factor for the development of smart drug delivery systems to promote a sustained release of therapeutics. The degradability of polypeptides may be an obstacle in certain scenarios for the controlled intracellular release of a drug once an external stimulus is applied. Nowadays, the highly engineered design of biodegradable LbL particles/capsules is oriented on the development of theranostics that, limited to use of polypeptides, are still in their infancy.

Abstract
Recently, multi-modal combined photothermal therapy (PTT) with the use of photo-active materials has attracted significant attention for cancer treatment. However, drug carriers enabling efficient heating at the tumor site are yet to be designed: this is a fundamental requirement for broad implementation of PTT in clinics. In this work, we design and develop hybrid carriers based on multilayer capsules integrated with selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) and gold nanorods (Au NRs) to realize reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated combined PTT. We show theoretically and experimentally that cooperative interaction of Se NPs with Au NRs improves the heat release efficiency of the developed capsules. In addition, after uptake by tumor cells, intracellular ROS level amplified by Se NPs inhibits the tumor growth. As a consequence, the synergy between Se NPs and Au NRs exhibits the advantages of hybrid carriers such as (i) improved photothermal conversion efficiency and (ii) dual-therapeutic effect. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that the combination of ROS-mediated therapy and PTT has a higher tumor inhibition efficiency compared to the single-agent treatment (using only Se-loaded or Au-loaded capsules). Furthermore, the developed hybrid carriers show negligible in vivo toxicity towards major organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen. This study not only provides a potential strategy for the design of multifunctional "all-in-one" carriers, but also contributes to the development of combined PTT in clinical practice.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have achieved clinical success in delivering small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for targeted gene therapy. However, endosomal escape of siRNA into the cytosol remains a fundamental challenge for LNPs. Herein, we report a strategy termed light-activated siRNA endosomal release (LASER) to address this challenge. We established a porphyrin-LNP by incorporating porphyrin-lipids into the clinically approved Onpattro formulation. The porphyrin-LNP maintained the physical properties of an LNP and generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) when irradiated with near-infrared (NIR) light. Using confocal microscopy, we revealed that porphyrin-lipids within the LNP translocate to endosomal membranes during endocytosis. The translocated porphyrin-lipids generated ROS under light irradiation and enabled LASER through endosomal membranes disruption as observed through GAL-9 recruitment and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By establishing a quantitative confocal imaging method, we confirmed that porphyrin-LNPs can increase siRNA endosomal escape efficiency by up to 2-fold via LASER and further enhance luciferase target knockdown by 4-fold more in luciferase-transfected prostate cancer cells. Finally, we formulated porphyrin-LNPs encapsulated with gold nanoparticles (GNP) and visualized the LASER effect within prostate tumors via TEM, confirming the light-activated endosomal membrane disruption and subsequent GNP release into cytosols in vivo. Overall, porphyrin-LNPs and the LASER approach enhanced siRNA endosomal escape and significantly improved knockdown efficacy. We believe the versatility of this technology could be applied to various LNP-based RNA therapeutics.

Abstract
In the past decades, the striking development of cationic polypeptides and cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) tailored for small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery has been fuelled by the conception of nuclear acid therapy and precision medicine. Owing to their amino acid compositions, inherent secondary structures as well as diverse geometrical shapes, peptides or peptide-containing polymers exhibit good biodegradability, high flexibility, and bio-functional diversity as nonviral siRNA vectors. Also, a variety of noncovalent nanocomplexes could be built via self-assembling and electrostatic interactions between cationic peptides and siRNAs. Although the peptide/siRNA nanocomplex-based RNAi therapies, STP705 and MIR-19, are under clinical trials, a guideline addressing the current bottlenecks of peptide/siRNA nanocomplex delivery is in high demand for future research and development. In this review, we present strategies for improving the safety and RNAi efficacy of noncovalent peptide/siRNA nanocomplexes in the treatment of genetic disorders. Through thorough analysis of those RNAi formulations using different delivery strategies, we seek to shed light on the rationale of peptide design and modification in constructing robust siRNA delivery systems, including targeted and co-delivery systems. Based on this, we provide a timely and comprehensive understanding of how to engineer biocompatible and efficient peptide-based siRNA vectors.

Abstract
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can cause specific gene silencing and is considered promising for treating a variety of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, siRNA has many undesirable physicochemical properties that limit its application. Additionally, conventional methods for delivering siRNA are limited in their ability to penetrate solid tumors. In this study, nanodiamonds (NDs) were evaluated as a nanoparticle drug delivery platform for improved siRNA delivery into tumor cells. Our results demonstrated that ND-siRNA complexes could effectively be formed through electrostatic interactions. The ND-siRNA complexes allowed for efficient cellular uptake and endosomal escape that protects siRNA from degradation. Moreover, ND delivery of siRNA was more effective at penetrating tumor spheroids compared to liposomal formulations. This enhanced penetration capacity makes NDs ideal vehicles to deliver siRNA against solid tumor masses as efficient gene knockdown and decreased tumor cell proliferation were observed in tumor spheroids. Evaluation of ND-siRNA complexes within the context of a 3D cancer disease model demonstrates the potential of NDs as a promising gene delivery platform against solid tumors, such as HCC.

Abstract
The structure of microdroplet and microparticle is a critical factor in their functionality, which determines the distribution and sequence of physicochemical reactions. Therefore, the technology of precisely tailoring their shape is requisite for implementing the user demand functions in various applications. This review highlights various methodologies for droplet shaping, classified into passive and active approaches based on whether additional body forces are applied to droplets to manipulate their functions and fabricate them into microparticles. The passive approaches cover batch emulsification, solvent evaporation and diffusion, micromolding, and microfluidic methods. In active approaches, the external forces, such as electrical and magnetic fields or optical lithography, are applied to microdroplets. Special attention is also given to latest technologies using microdroplets and microparticles, especially in the fields of biological, optical, robotic, and environmental applications. Finally, this review aims to address the advantages and disadvantages of the introduced approaches and suggests the direction for further development in this field.

Abstract
A methodology is described that allows for localized Ca2+ release by photoexcitation. For this, cells are loaded with polymer capsules with integrated plasmonic nanoparticles, which reside in endo-lysosomes. The micrometer-sized capsules can be individually excited by near-infrared light from a light pointer, causing photothermal heating, upon which there is a rise in the free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+ ]i ). The [Ca2+ ]i can be analyzed with a Ca2+ indicator fluorophore. In this way, it is possible to excite local lysosomal Ca2+ release in a desired target cell.

Abstract
This work describes the preparation and characterization of printed biodegradable polymer (polylactic acid) capsules made in two different shapes: pyramid and rectangular capsules about 1 and 11 μm in size. Obtained core-shell capsules are described in terms of their morphology, loading efficiency, cargo release profile, cell cytotoxicity, and cell uptake. Both types of capsules showed monodisperse size and shape distribution and were found to provide sufficient stability to encapsulate small water-soluble molecules and to retain them for several days and ability for intracellular delivery. Capsules of 1 μm size can be internalized by HeLa cells without causing any toxicity effect. Printed capsules show unique characteristics compared with other drug delivery systems such as a wide range of possible cargoes, triggered release mechanism, and highly controllable shape and size.

Abstract
Encapsulated molecular cargos are efficiently endocytosed by cells. For cytosolic delivery, understanding the dynamic process of cargos release from the carrier vehicles used for encapsulation and the lysosomes where the carrier vehicles are trapped (which in general is the bottleneck), followed by diffusion in the cytosol is important for improving drug/gene delivery strategies. A methodology is reported to image this process on a millisecond scale and to quantitatively analyze the data. Polyelectrolyte capsules with embedded gold nanostars to encapsulate 43 fluorescent molecular cargos with diverse properties, ranging from small fluorophores to fluorescently labeled proteins, siRNA, etc., are used. By short laser irradiation intracellular release of the molecular cargos from endocytosed capsules into the cytosol is triggered, and their intracellular spreading is imaged. Most of the released molecular cargos evenly distribute inside the entire cell, while others are enriched in certain cell compartments. The time the different molecular cargos take to distribute within cells, i.e., the spreading time, is used as a quantifier. Quantitative analysis reveals that intracellular spread cannot be described by free diffusion, but is determined by interaction of the molecular cargo with intracellular components.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of plasmonic nanoparticles as sources of heat remotely controlled by light, giving rise to the field of thermoplasmonics. The ability to release heat on the nanoscale has already impacted a broad range of research activities, from biomedicine to imaging and catalysis. Thermoplasmonics is now entering an important phase: some applications have engaged in an industrial stage, while others, originally full of promise, experience some difficulty in reaching their potential. Meanwhile, innovative fundamental areas of research are being developed. In this Review, we scrutinize the current research landscape in thermoplasmonics, with a specific focus on its applications and main challenges in many different fields of science, including nanomedicine, cell biology, photothermal and hot-electron chemistry, solar light harvesting, soft matter and nanofluidics.

Abstract
Functionalized drug delivery systems against malignant lung metastasis of breast cancer have been extensively studied, while metastasis remains a challenging issue. We propose a new strategy to achieve eradication of primary breast cancer cells and inhibition of pulmonary metastasis. A cathepsin B/pH dual-sensitive block copolymer with a molecular weight of 92 kDa was synthesized to conjugate with doxorubicin (DOX). The copolymer-DOX was further loaded with nifuroxazide (NFX) to self-assemble co-prodrug-loaded micelles (CLM). CLM displayed a drug release pattern in response to pH/enzyme dual stimuli and was enzymatically biodegradable. CLM was demonstrated to reduce viability and inhibit migration and invasion of 4T1 murine breast cancer cells in vitro. After i.v. injection of CLM, its nanoscale size and stimuli-responsiveness facilitated delivery of drugs to the tumor site in mice. Enhanced anti-tumor efficacy and great anti-metastatic effects were found in both orthotropic and lung metastasis 4T1 breast cancer mice models. Meanwhile, histological immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical analyses revealed a high level of apoptosis, suppressed expression of matrix metalloproteinases and reduction in MDSCs infiltration, and all these contributed to inhibit pulmonary metastasis. CLM may be explored as a potential nanomedicine against breast cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have promising plasmonic properties, however, they are rarely used in biomedical applications because of their potent toxicity. Herein, an electron compensation effect from Au to Ag was applied to design safe Au@Ag core-shell NPs. The Ag shell thickness was precisely regulated to enable the most efficient electron enrichment in Ag shell of Au@Ag2.4 NPs, preventing Ag oxidation and subsequent Ag+ ion release. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near-edge structure analysis revealed the electron transfer process from Au core to Ag shell, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy analysis confirmed the low Ag+ ion release from Au@Ag2.4 NPs. Bare Au@Ag2.4 NPs showed much lower toxicological responses than Ag NPs in BEAS-2B and Raw 264.7 cells and acute lung inflammation mouse models, and PEGylation of Au@Ag2.4 NPs could further improve their safety to L02 and HEK293T cells as well as mice through intravenous injection. Further, diethylthiatri carbocyanine iodide attached pAu@Ag2.4 NPs exhibited intense surface-enhanced Raman scattering signals and were used for Raman imaging of MCF7 cells and Raman biosensing in MCF7 tumor-bearing mice. This electron compensation effect opens up new opportunity for broadening biomedical application of Ag-based NPs.

Abstract
The importance of thermodynamics does not need to be emphasized. Indeed, elevated temperature processes govern not only industrial scale production but also self-assembly, chemical reaction, interaction between molecules, etc. Not surprisingly, biological processes typically take place at a specific temperature. Here, we look at possibilities to raise the localized temperature by a laser around noble-metal nanoparticles incorporated into shells of layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte microcapsules-freely suspended delivery vehicles in an aqueous solution, developed in the Department of Interfaces, Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, headed by Helmuth Möhwald. Understanding the mechanisms of localized temperature rise is essential, that is why we analyze the influence of incident intensity, nanoparticle size, their distribution and aggregation state, as well as thermodynamics at the nanoscale. This leads us to scrutinize "global" (used for thermal encapsulation) versus "local" (used for release of encapsulated materials) temperature rise. Similar analysis is extended to planar polymeric coatings, the lipid membrane system of vesicles and cells, on which nanoparticles are adsorbed. Insights are provided into the mechanisms of physicochemical and biological effects, the nature of which has always been profoundly, interactively, and engagingly discussed in the Department of Interfaces. This analysis is combined with recent developments providing outlook and highlighting a broad range of emerging applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticle contrast agents are useful tools to label stem cells and monitor the in vivo bio-distribution of labeled cells in pre-clinical models of disease. In this context, understanding the in vivo fate of the particles after injection of labelled cells is important for their eventual clinical use as well as for the interpretation of imaging results. We examined how the formulation of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) impacts the labelling efficiency, magnetic characteristics and fate of the particles by comparing individual SPIONs with polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules containing SPIONs. At low labelling concentration, encapsulated SPIONs served as an efficient labelling agent for stem cells. The bio-distribution after intra-cardiac injection of labelled cells was monitored longitudinally by MRI and as an endpoint by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. The results suggest that, after being released from labelled cells after cell death, both formulations of particles are initially stored in liver and spleen and are not completely cleared from these organs 2 weeks post-injection.

Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of future nanomedicines that can be specifically designed to incorporate responsive elements that undergo modification in structural properties upon external triggers. One potential use of such stimuli-responsive materials is to release encapsulated cargo upon excitation by an external trigger. Today, such stimuli-response materials allow for spatial and temporal tunability, which enables the controlled delivery of compounds in a specific and dose-dependent manner. This potentially is of great interest for medicine (e.g. allowing for remotely controlled drug delivery to cells, etc.). Among the different external exogenous and endogenous stimuli used to control the desired release, light and magnetic fields offer interesting possibilities, allowing defined, real time control of intracellular releases. In this review we highlight the use of stimuli-responsive controlled release systems that are able to respond to light and magnetic field triggers for controlling the release of encapsulated cargo inside cells. We discuss established approaches and technologies and describe prominent examples. Special attention is devoted towards polymer capsules and polymer vesicles as containers for encapsulated cargo molecules. The advantages and disadvantages of this methodology in both, in vitro and in vivo models are discussed. An overview of challenges associate with the successful translation of those stimuli-responsive materials towards future applications in the direction of potential clinical use is given.

Abstract
Novel RNA-based technologies provide an avenue of possibilities to control the regulation of gene expression in cells. To realize the full potential of small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based therapy, efficient delivery vehicles and novel strategies for triggering release from carrier vehicles have to be developed. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with sizes of ∼50-150 nm have the ability to accumulate in tumor tissue and can be transported across the membrane by endocytosis. Therefore, a laser-controlled oligonucleotide release from such particles is of particular interest. Here, we quantify the loading of specifically attached microRNA oligonucleotides (miRNA) onto single gold nanoparticles with diameters of 80, 100, 150, and 200 nm. We show that AuNPs have a curvature-dependent density of miRNA loading: the higher the curvature, the higher the loading density. Moreover, we demonstrate how one sensing strand of an RNA duplex can be dehybridized and hence released from the AuNP by heating the AuNP by irradiation with a near-infrared (NIR) laser. Laser-induced release is also demonstrated inside living cells. Together, these findings show that plasmonic nanoparticles with high curvatures are ideal carriers of oligonucleotides into cells, and their cargo can be released in a controlled manner by a thermoplasmonic mechanism. Importantly, this remotely controlled release strategy can be applied to any cargo attached to a plasmonic nanocarrier, on either the single particle or ensemble level.

Abstract
Non-destructive, controllable, remote light-induced release inside cells enables studying time- and space-specific processes in biology. In this work we demonstrate the remote release of tagged proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) worms using a near-infrared laser light as a trigger from novel hydrogel shells functionalized with silver nanoparticles responsive to laser light. A new type of hydrogel shells was developed capable of withstanding prolonged storage in the lyophilized state to enable the uptake of the shell by worms, which takes place on an agar plate under standard culture conditions. Uptake of the shells by C. elegans was confirmed using confocal laser scanning microscopy, while release from alginate shells in C. elegans and the laser effect on the shells on a substrate in air was followed using fluorescence microscopy. In addition, Raman microscopy was used to track the localization of particles to avoid the influence of autofluorescence. Hierarchical cluster spectral analysis is used to extract information about the biochemical composition of an area of a nematode containing the hydrogel shells, whose Raman signal is enhanced by the SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) effect due to hot spots formed by silver nanoparticles present in the shells. The in vivo release demonstrated here can be used to study intestinal microbiota and probiotic compounds as well as a possible future strategy for gene delivery in the worms, other insects and other organisms.

Abstract
Delivery of genes, including plasmid DNAs, short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), using artificial non-viral nanotherapeutics is a promising approach in cancer gene therapy. However, multiple physiological barriers upon systemic administration remain a key challenge in clinical translation of anti-cancer gene therapeutics. Besides extracellular barriers including sequestration of gene delivery nanoparticles from the bloodstream by resident organ-specific macrophages, and their poor extravasation and tissue penetration in tumors, overcoming intracellular barriers is also necessary for successful delivery of nucleic acids. Whereas for RNA delivery the endosomal barrier holds a key importance, transfer of DNA cargo additionally requires translocation into the nucleus. Better understanding of crossing membrane barriers by nucleic acid nanoformulations is essential to the improvement of current non-viral carriers. This review aims to summarize relevant literature on intracellular trafficking of non-viral nanoparticles and determine key factors toward surmounting intracellular barriers. Moreover, recent data allowed us to propose new interpretations of current hypotheses of endosomal escape mechanisms of nucleic acid nanoformulations.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles for drug delivery have attracted increasing interest over the last few years. Their localized surface plasmon resonance causes photothermal effects on laser irradiation, which allows for delivering drugs in a spatio-temporally controlled manner. Here, we explore the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) as carriers for pDNA in combination with pulsed laser irradiation to induce endosomal escape, which is currently considered to be one of the major bottlenecks in macromolecular drug delivery on the intracellular level. In particular, we evaluate nanocomplexes composed of JetPEI (polyethylenimine)pDNA and 10 nm AuNP, which do not exhibit endosomal escape by themselves. After incubating HeLa cells with these complexes, we evaluated endosomal escape and transfection efficiency using low- and high-energy laser pulses. At low laser energy heat is produced by the nanocomplexes, while, at higher laser energy, explosive vapour nanobubbles (VNB) are formed. We investigated the ability of heat transfer and VNB formation to induce endosomal escape and we examine the integrity of pDNA cargo after inducing both photothermal effects. We conclude that JetPEI/pDNA/AuNP complexes are unable to induce meaningful transfection efficiencies because laser treatment causes either dysfunctionality of the cargo when VNB are formed or forms too small pores in the endosomal membrane to allow pDNA to escape in case of heating. We conclude that laser-induced VNB is the most suitable to induce effective pDNA endosomal escape, but a different nanocomplex structure will be required to keep the pDNA intact.

Abstract
We report the construction of erythrocyte membrane-cloaked Janus polymeric motors (EM-JPMs) which are propelled by near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation and are successfully applied in thrombus ablation. Chitosan (a natural polysaccharide with positive charge, CHI) and heparin (glycosaminoglycan with negative charge, Hep) were selected as wall materials to construct biodegradable and biocompatible capsules through the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. By partially coating the capsule with a gold (Au) layer through sputter coating, a NIR-responsive Janus structure was obtained. Due to the asymmetric distribution of Au, a local thermal gradient was generated upon NIR irradiation, resulting in the movement of the JPMs through the self-thermophoresis effect. The reversible "on/off" motion of the JPMs and their motile behavior were easily tuned by the incident NIR laser intensity. After biointerfacing the Janus capsules with an erythrocyte membrane, the EM-JPMs displayed red blood cell related properties, which enabled them to move efficiently in relevant biological environments (cell culture, serum, and blood). Furthermore, this therapeutic platform exhibited excellent performance in ablation of thrombus through photothermal therapy. As man-made micromotors, these biohybrid EM-JPMs hold great promise of navigating in vivo for active delivery while overcoming the drawbacks of existing synthetic therapeutic platforms. We expect that this biohybrid motor has considerable potential to be widely used in the biomedical field.

Abstract
The intracellular delivery of nanomaterials and drugs has been attracting increasing research interest, mainly because of their important effects and functions in several organelles. Targeting specific organelles can help treat or decrease the symptoms of diabetes, cancer, infectious, and autoimmune diseases. Tuning biological and chemical properties enables the creation of functionalized nanomaterials with enhanced intracellular uptake, ability to escape premature lysosome degradation, and to reach a specific target. Here, we provide an update of recent advances in the intracellular delivery mechanisms that could help drugs reach their target more efficiently.

Abstract
Gene-based therapy is one of essential therapeutic strategies for precision medicine through targeting specific genes in specific cells of target tissues. However, there still exist many problems that need to be solved, such as safety, stability, selectivity, delivery, as well as immunity. Currently, the key challenges of gene-based therapy for clinical potential applications are the safe and effective nucleic acid drugs as well as their safe and efficient gene delivery systems. In this review, we first focus on current nucleic acid drugs and their formulation in clinical trials and on the market, including antisense oligonucleotide, siRNA, aptamer, and plasmid nucleic acid drugs. Subsequently, we summarize different chemical modifications of nucleic acid drugs as well as their delivery systems for gene-based therapeutics in vivo based on nucleic acid chemistry and nanotechnology methods.

Abstract
Recently, stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) with high spatial/temporal resolution bring many benefits to cancer treatment. However, cancer cells always develop ways to resist and evade treatment, ultimately limit the treatment efficacy of the DDSs. Here, we introduce photo-activated nanoliposomes (PNLs) that impart light-induced cytotoxicity and reversal of drug resistance in synchrony with a photoinitiated and rapid release of antitumor drug. The PNLs consist of a nanoliposome doped with a photosensitizer (hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether [HMME]) in the lipid bilayer and an antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated inside. PNLs have several distinctive capabilities: 1) carrying high loadings of DOX and HMME and releasing the payloads in a photo-cleavage manner with high spatial/temporal resolution at the site of actions via photocatalysis; 2) reducing drug efflux in MCF-7/multidrug resistance cells via decreasing the level of P-glycoprotein induced by photodynamic therapy (PDT); 3) accumulating in tumor site taking advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention effect; and 4) combining effective chemotherapy and PDT to exert much enhanced anticancer effect and achieving significant tumor regression in a drug-resistant tumor model with little side effects.

Abstract
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that have the potential for self-renewal and differentiation into more specialized cell types. The chemical and physical properties of surrounding microenvironment contribute to the growth and differentiation of stem cells and consequently play crucial roles in the regulation of stem cells’ fate. Nanomaterials hold great promise in biological and biomedical fields owing to their unique properties, such as controllable particle size, facile synthesis, large surface-to-volume ratio, tunable surface chemistry, and biocompatibility. Over the recent years, accumulating evidence has shown that nanomaterials can facilitate stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and great effort is undertaken to explore their possible modulating manners and mechanisms on stem cell differentiation. In present review, we summarize recent progress in the regulating potential of various nanomaterials on stem cell differentiation and discuss the possible cell uptake, biological interaction and underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNR) are good light harvesting species for elaboration of near-infrared (NIR) responsive drug delivery systems. Herein, chlorhexidine microparticles are grown directly on the surface of gold nanorods and then stabilized with polyelectrolyte multilayer encapsulation, producing novel composite drug-GNR particles with high drug loading and NIR light sensitivity. Crystallization of chlorhexidine is caused by the ionic strength of the chloride solution that has been demonstrated via formation of a homogeneous porous spherical structure at 0.33 M CaCl2. By introducing GNRs into the CaCl2 solution, the nucleation of chlorhexidine molecules and size of produced spheres are affected, since GNRs act as sites for chlorhexidine nucleation. Similarly, when GNRs are replaced by chlorhexidine seeds (5.2 ± 1.7 μm), a core-shell crystal structure is observed. The encapsulated GNR/chlorhexidine composites are responsive to NIR light (840 nm) that increases the temperature at the chlorhexidine crystals, followed by microparticle dissolution and rupture of capsules which is illustrated with confocal microscopy and SEM. Furthermore, a stepwise burst release of chlorhexidine can be induced by multiple cycles of NIR light exposure. The GNR/chlorhexidine composites show good biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity. The proposed method of antibacterial drug release may therefore indicate that this NIR responsive chlorhexidine composite may be useful for future clinical applications.

Abstract
The pathway of internalization and final fate of a specific metal-organic framework (MOF) in cells has been investigated for the first time. This study is based on two calcein-loaded UiO-66 samples with particle sizes of 150 and 260 nm (i.e., cal@150 UiO-66 and cal@260 UiO-66, respectively), and shows that the active trafficking of cal@150 UiO-66 is done almost exclusively through clathrin-mediated endocytosis, whereas the uptake of cal@260 UiO-66 is a combination of both clathrin and caveolae-mediated endocytosis. Colocalization studies with a lysosomal marker showed that cal@150 UiO-66 is located mostly in lysosomes for further degradation, whereas cal@260 UiO-66 seems to avoid the lysosomal degradation and potentially deliver the cargo molecules in the cytosol, allowing their distribution to different cellular organelles. This study reveals the importance of the internalization processes of MOFs, particularly the relevance of their particle size, and also the critical significance of their final fate to become an efficient drug delivery system. Based on these results, it is possible that extremely small particle-sized MOFs are not the most efficient carriers and instead relatively medium-sized particles are required.

Abstract
In this report, we investigated intracellular redox induced drug release in cancerous cells and human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as an example of healthy cells using redox-responsive microcapsules with covalently bonded anti-cancer drug (doxorubicin) via the amine-reactive cross-linker, 3,3'-dithiobis(sulfosuccinimidyl propionate) containing disulfide bond. Such rationally designed capsules with incorporated redox-sensitive cross-linker are capable of controllable Dox release in the presence of glutathione (GSH) due to a thiol-cleavable disulfide bonds. The treatment of human MSCs and human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) with Dox-conjugated capsules showed that the Dox release was observed only when capsules incubated with HeLa cells which can be induced by high GSH level in cancerous (HeLa) cells. Moreover, the results of cell viability indicated that Dox-conjugated capsules are more effective when inducing cell death of HeLa than free Dox improving the anti-tumor efficacy of chemotherapeutic drug and simultaneously they possess lower cytotoxicity against MSCs compared to cancerous cells. Such properties are important in design of smart drug carriers for efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
The possibility to remotely manipulate intracellular pathways in single cells is among the current goals of biomedicine, demanding new strategies to control cell function and reprogramming cell fate upon external triggering. Optogenetics is one approach in this direction, allowing specific cell stimulation by external illumination. Here, we developed optical switchers of an ancient and highly conserved system controlling a variety of developmental and adult processes in all metazoans, from Hydra to mammals, the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. An intracellular modulator of the Wnt pathway was enclosed into polyelectrolyte multilayer microcapsules engineered to include self-tracking (i.e., fluorescence labeling) and light mediated heating functionalities (i.e., plasmonic nanoparticles). Capsules were delivered in vivo to Hydra and NIR triggered drug release caused forced activation of the Wnt pathway. The possibility to remotely manipulate the Wnt pathway by optical switchers may be broadly translated to achieve spatiotemporal control of cell fate for new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Effective and controlled drug delivery systems with on-demand release and targeting abilities have received enormous attention for biomedical applications. Here, we describe a novel enzyme-based cap system for mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) that is directly combined with a targeting ligand via bio-orthogonal click chemistry. The capping system is based on the pH-responsive binding of an aryl-sulfonamide-functionalized MSN and the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA). An unnatural amino acid (UAA) containing a norbornene moiety was genetically incorporated into CA. This UAA allowed for the site-specific bio-orthogonal attachment of even very sensitive targeting ligands such as folic acid and anandamide. This leads to specific receptor-mediated cell and stem cell uptake. We demonstrate the successful delivery and release of the chemotherapeutic agent Actinomycin D to KB cells. This novel nanocarrier concept provides a promising platform for the development of precisely controllable and highly modular theranostic systems.

Abstract
Previous literature and our study showed the delivery sequence of microRNA inhibitor and chemotherapeutic compounds achieve distinct therapeutic anticancer efficacy. Yet, it is challenging to use nanoparticle to achieve sequential drug delivery. In the current study, we designed sequential co-delivery system using a near-infrared-radiation (NIR) responsive hollow gold nanoparticle (HGNPs) to achieve sequential release of microRNA inhibitor (miR-21i)/doxirubicin(Dox) in order to achieve synergistic efficacy. PAMAM modified HGNPs was used to encapsulate miR-21i and Dox. Upon entering tumor cells, miRNA-21i was released first to sensitize the cancer cells, the subsequent burst release of Dox was achieved by NIR triggered collapse of HGNPs. This sequential delivery of miRNA-21i and Dox produced a synergistic apoptotic response, thereby enhancing anticancer efficacy by 8-fold and increasing anti-cancer stem cell activity by 50-fold. The sequential delivery of miR-21i and Dox using HGNPs under NIR after intravenous administration showed high tumor accumulation and significantly improved efficacy, which was 4-fold compared to free Dox group. These data suggested that the sequential co-delivery of miR-21i followed by burst release Dox using NIR-responsive HGNPs sensitized cancer cells to chemotherapeutic compound, which provided a novel concept for co-delivery miRNA inhibitors and chemotherapeutic compounds to enhance their efficacy.

Abstract
Despite our increasing knowledge of cell biology and the recognition of an increasing repertoire of druggable intracellular therapeutic targets, there remain a limited number of approaches to deliver bioactive molecules to cells and even fewer that enable targeted delivery. Layer-by-layer (LbL) microcapsules are assembled using alternate layers of oppositely charged molecules and are potential cell delivery vehicles for applications in nanomedicine. There are a wide variety of charged molecules that can be included in the microcapsule structure including metal nanoparticles that introduce physical attributes. Delivery of bioactive molecules to cells with LbL microcapsules has recently been demonstrated, so in this study we explore the delivery of bioactive molecules (luciferase enzyme and plasmid DNA) to cells using biodegradable microcapsules containing a layer of magnetite nanoparticles. Interestingly, significantly improved intracellular luciferase enzyme activity (25 fold) and increased transfection efficiency with plasmid DNA (3.4 fold) was observed with magnetic microcapsules. The use of a neodymium magnet enabled efficient targeting of magnetic microcapsules which further improved the delivery efficiency of the cargoes as a consequence of increased microcapsule concentration at the magnetic site. Microcapsules were well tolerated by cells in these experiments and only displayed signs of toxicity at a capsule : cell ratio of 100 : 1 and with extended exposure. These studies illustrate how multi-functionalization of LbL microcapsules can improve and target delivery of bioactive molecules to cells.

Remotely triggered release of small molecules from LaB6@SiO2-loaded polycaprolactone microneedles. Acta Biomater 2015; 13:344-53.

Abstract
We established near-infrared (NIR)-light-triggered transdermal delivery systems by encapsulating NIR absorbers, silica-coated lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6@SiO2) nanostructures and the cargo molecule to be released in biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) microneedles. Acting as a local heat source when exposed to an NIR laser, these nanostructures cause a phase transition of the microneedles, thereby increasing the mobility of the polymer chains and triggering drug release from the microneedles. On IR thermal images, the light-triggered melting behavior of the LaB6@SiO2-loaded microneedles was observed. By adjusting the irradiation time and the laser on/off cycles, the amount of molecules released was controlled accurately. Drug release was switched on and off for at least three cycles, and a consistent dose was delivered in each cycle with high reproducibility. The designed microneedles were remotely triggered by laser irradiation for the controlled release of a chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin hydrochloride, in vivo. This system would enable dosages to be adjusted accurately to achieve a desired effect, feature a low off-state drug leakage to minimize basal effects and can increase the flexibility of pharmacotherapy performed to treat various medical conditions.

Abstract
Photothermal release of cargo molecules has been extensively studied for bioapplications. For instance, microcapsules decorated with plasmonic nanoparticles have been widely used in in vitro assays. However, some concerns about their suitability for some in vivo applications cannot be easily overcome, in particular the limited penetration depth of light (even infrared). Magnetic nanoparticles are alternative heat-mediators for local heating, which can be triggered by applying an alternating magnetic field (AMF). AMFs are much less absorbed by tissue than light and thus can penetrate deeper overcoming the above mentioned limitations. Here we present iron oxide nanocube-modified microcapsules as a platform for magnetically triggered molecular release. Layer-by-layer assembled polyelectrolyte microcapsules with 4.6 μm diameter, which had 18 nm diameter iron oxide nanocubes integrated in their walls, were synthesized. The microcapsules were further loaded with an organic fluorescent polymer (Cascade Blue-labelled dextran), which was used as a model of molecular cargo. Through an AMF the magnetic nanoparticles were able to heat their surroundings and destroy the microcapsule walls, leading to a final release of the embedded cargo to the surrounding solution. The cargo release was monitored in solution by measuring the increase in both absorbance and fluorescence signal after the exposure to an AMF. Our results demonstrate that magnetothermal release of the encapsulated material is possible using magnetic nanoparticles with a high heating performance.
