Abstract
Phenylboronic acid (PBA) is recognized as one of the most promising cancer cell binding modules attributed to its potential to form reversible and dynamic boronic ester covalent bonds. Exploring the advanced chemical versatility of PBA is crucial for developing new anticancer therapeutics. The presence of a specific Lewis acidic boron atom-based functional group and a Π-ring-connected ring has garnered increasing interest in the field of cancer immunotherapy. PBA-derivatized functional biomaterials can form reversible bonds with diols containing cell surface markers and proteins. This review primarily focuses on the following topics: (1) the importance and versatility of PBA, (2) different PBA derivatives with pKa values, (3) specific key features of PBA-mediated biomaterials, and (4) cell surface activity for cancer immunotherapy applications. Specific key features of PBA-mediated materials, including sensing, bioadhesion, and gelation, along with important synthesis strategies, are highlighted. The utilization of PBA-mediated biomaterials for cancer immunotherapy, especially the role of PBA-based nanoparticles and PBA-mediated cell-based therapeutics, is also discussed. Finally, a perspective on future research based on PBA-biomaterials for immunotherapy applications is presented.

Abstract
537 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes mellitus, a problem of glucose management that is related to a number of major health risks, including cardiovascular diseases. There is a need for new, efficient formulations of diabetic medications to address this condition and its related consequences because existing treatments have a number of drawbacks and limits. This encouraged the development of treatment plans to get around some of these restrictions, like low therapeutic drug bioavailability or patients' disobedience to existing therapies. Approaches based on nanotechnology have a lot of promise to enhance the treatment of diabetic patients. In order to manage blood glucose, this review article highlights recent developments and explores the potential applications of different materials (polymeric, ceramic, dendrimers, etc.) as nanocarriers for the delivery of insulin and other antidiabetic medications. Using an injectable and acid-degradable polymeric network produced by the electrostatic interaction of oppositely charged dextran nanoparticles loaded with insulin and glucose-specific enzymes, we reviewed a glucose-mediated release approach for the self-regulated delivery of insulin, in which, after a degradable nano-network was subcutaneously injected into type 1 diabetic mice,in vivoexperiments confirmed that these formulations improved glucose management. In addition, a discussion of silica-based nanocarriers, their potential for treating diabetes and controlling blood glucose levels, and an explanation of the role of dendrimers in diabetes treatment have been covered. This is done by utilizing the properties of silica nanoparticles, such as their tuneable particle and pore size, surface chemistry, and biocompatibility. The article summarized the significance of nanomaterials and their uses in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes overall, illuminating the field's potential and outlining its prospects for the future.

Abstract
Currently, chemotherapy is one of the most practiced approaches for the treatment of cancers. However, existing chemotherapeutic drugs have poor aqueous solubility, poor selectivity, higher systematic toxicity, and poor target accumulation. In this study, we designed and synthesized a boronic acid/ester-based pH-responsive nano-valve that specifically targets the microenvironment in cancer cells. The nano-valve comprises phenylboronic acid-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (B-MSN) loaded with polyphenolic compound Rosmarinic acid (ROS-B-MSN). The nano-valve was further coated with lignin (LIG) to achieve our desired LIG-ROS-BMSN nano-valve for targeted chemotherapy against Hep-G2 and NCI-H460 cell lines. The structure and properties of NPs were characterized by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in combination with EDX, and Dynamic light scattering (DLS). The outcomes revealed that the designed LIG-ROS-BMSN were in the nanorange (144.1 ± 0.70 nm), had negative Zeta potential (-15.7 ± 0.46 mV) and had a nearly spherical morphology. In vitro, drug release investigations showed a controlled pH-dependent release profile under mild acidic conditions that could enhance the targeted chemotherapeutic response against cancer in mild acidic environments. The obtained LIG-ROS-BMSN nano valve achieved significantly lower IC50 values of (1.70 ± 0.01 μg/mL and 3.25 ± 0.14 μg/mL) against Hep-G2 and NCI-H460 cell lines as compared to ROS alone, which was (14.0 ± 0.7 μg/mL and 29.10 ± 0.25 μg/mL), respectively. The cellular morphology before and after treatment was further confirmed via inverted microscopy. The outcomes of the current study imply that our designed LIG-ROS-BMSN nanovalve is a potential carrier for cancer chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
The tunable properties of stimuli-responsive copolymers or hydrogels enable their application in different fields such as biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, or even drug release. Here we introduce a new PNIPAM-based triblock copolymer material comprising a controlled amount of a novel hydrophobic crosslinker 2,4'-diacryloyloxy benzophenone (DABP) and acrylic acid (AAc) to achieve lower critical solution temperature (LCST) between ambient and body temperatures. The dual stimuli-responsive p(NIPAM-co-DABP-co-AAc) triblock copolymer material and hydrogel were synthesized, and their temperature and pH-responsive behaviors were systematically investigated. The hydrogel exhibited excellent temperature and pH-responsive properties with an LCST of around 30 °C. Moreover, the synthesized copolymer has been demonstrated to be nontoxic both in vitro and in vivo. When the hydrogel was preloaded with the model drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the designed hydrogel released the drug in a temperature and pH-controlled fashion. It was observed that the prepared hydrogel has the ability to entrap 5-FU, and the loading is more than 85%. In the case of temperature-controlled release, we observed almost complete release of 5-FU at lower temperatures and sustained release behavior at higher temperatures. In addition, the hydrogel matrix was able to retard the release of 5-FU in an acidic environment and selectively release 5-FU in a basic environment. By realizing how the hydrogel properties influence the release of drugs from preloaded hydrogels, it is possible to design new materials with myriad applications in the drug delivery field.

Abstract
Efficiently removing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by various factors on the ocular surface is a promising strategy for preventing the development of dry eye disease (DED). The currently available eye drops for DED treatment are palliative, short-lived and frequently administered due to the short precorneal residence time. Here, we developed nanozyme-based eye drops for DED by exploiting borate-mediated dynamic covalent complexation between n-FeZIF-8 nanozymes (n-Z(Fe)) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to overcome these problems. The resultant formulation (PBnZ), which has dual-ROS scavenging abilities and prolonged corneal retention can effectively reduce oxidative stress, thereby providing an excellent preventive effect to alleviate DED. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that PBnZ could eliminate excess ROS through both its multienzyme-like activity and the ROS-scavenging activity of borate bonds. The positively charged nanozyme-based eye drops displayed a longer precorneal residence time due to physical adhesion and the dynamic borate bonds between phenyboronic acid and PVA or o-diol with mucin. The in vivo results showed that eye drops could effectively alleviate DED. These dual-function PBnZ nanozyme-based eye drops can provide insights into the development of novel treatment strategies for DED and other ROS-mediated inflammatory diseases and a rationale for the application of nanomaterials in clinical settings.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have demonstrated versatile application potential since their discovery. Although the structure of COFs is orderly arranged, the synthesis of controllable macrostructures still faces challenges. Herein, we report, to our knowledge, the first template-free self-assembled COF-18 Å hollow microtubule (MT-COF-18 Å) structure and its use for insulin delivery that exhibits high loading capacity, gastroresistance, and glucose-responsive properties. The hollow MT-COF-18 Å was achieved by a template-free method benefiting from the mixed solvents of mesitylene and dioxane. The formation mechanism and morphology changes with insulin loading and release were observed. In Caco-2 cells, the transferrin-coated system demonstrated enhanced insulin cellular uptake and transcellular transport, which indicated great potential for oral applications. Additionally, the composites presented sustained glycemic control and effective insulin blood concentrations without noticeable toxicity in diabetic rats. This work shows that hollow microtubular COFs hold great promise in loading and delivery of biomolecules.

Abstract
The development of a self-regulated minimally invasive system for insulin delivery can be considered as the holy grail in the field of diabetes mellitus. A delivery system capable of releasing insulin in response to blood glucose levels would significantly improve the quality of life of diabetic patients, eliminating the need for frequent finger-prick tests and providing better glycaemic control with lower risk of hypoglycaemia. In this context, the latest advances in glucose-responsive microneedle-based transdermal insulin delivery are here compiled with a thorough analysis of the delivery mechanisms and challenges lying ahead in their clinical translation. Two main groups of microneedle-based systems have been developed so far: glucose oxidase-containing and phenylboronic acid-containing systems. Both strategies in combination have also been tested and two other novel strategies are under development, namely electronic closed-loop and glucose transporter-based systems. Results from preclinical studies conducted using these different types of glucose-triggered release systems are comprehensively discussed. Altogether, this analysis from both a mechanistic and translational perspective will provide rationale and/or guidance for future trends in the research hotspot of glucose-responsive microneedle-based insulin delivery systems.

Abstract
Chitosan-based injectable hydrogels were designed and fabricated through the dynamic crosslinking of dual-reversible covalent bonds (imine and phenylboronate ester) for precise insulin release. The hydrogels contain dual glucose-sensors/responsive elements, featuring high sensitivity and rapid responsiveness to glucose level variation in cumulative and half-hourly pulsed insulin release. The hydrogels demonstrated improved cytocompatibility against HSF cells and histological long-term analysis of tissue after implantation. Evaluation of the glycemic control ability in STZ-induced hyperglycemic mice revealed that the hydrogel system showed excellent glycemic control ability in the glucose tolerance test and maintained blood glucose levels in a normal range for up to 11 days after a single administration. Thus, the hydrogel system showed applicable potential in insulin replacement therapy for diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Optogenetics-based synthetic biology holds great promise as a cell-based therapy strategy for many clinical incurable diseases; however, precise control over genetic expression strength and timing through disease state-related closed-loop regulation remains a challenge due to the lack of reversible probes to indicate real-time metabolite fluctuations. Here, based on a novel mechanism of analyte-induced hydrophobicity regulation of energy acceptors confined in mesoporous silica, we developed a smart hydrogel platform comprising glucose reversible responsive upconversion nanoprobes and optogenetic engineered cells, in which the upconverted blue light strength was adaptively tuned through blood glucose levels to control optogenetic expressions for insulin secretion. The intelligent hydrogel system enabled convenient maintenance of glycemic homeostasis through simple near-infrared illuminations without any additional glucose concentration monitoring, which efficiently avoided genetic overexpression-induced hypoglycemia. This proof-of-concept strategy efficiently combines diagnostics with optogenetics-based synthetic biology for mellitus therapy, opening up a new avenue for nano-optogenetics.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels are attractive biomaterials for local drug delivery owing to their excellent self-healing, injectable, biodegradable, and biocompatible properties. However, traditional drug-loading approaches based on non-covalent encapsulation and covalent bonding have shown problems such as rapid or difficult drug release, complex reaction processes, low reaction efficiency, and decreased drug activity. Therefore, there is a need to find a simple and efficient method to load drugs into hydrogels, which possess stable drug release ability without impairing drug efficacy. In this study, we introduce dynamic borate ester bonds via a simple one-pot method to load cis-o-diol-containing drugs into guanosine (G)-based supramolecular hydrogels. The experimental results confirm that the dynamic covalent borate ester bonds are formed based on the cis-o-diol groups of the drug and the G in these hydrogels. Meanwhile, the as-prepared G-based hydrogels not only possess self-healing properties and injectability but also have satisfactory biodegradability and biocompatibility. Additionally, the drug can be released from the G-based hydrogel according to the pH-responsive cleavage of the borate ester bonds without affecting drug activity. Overall, these results indicate that the simple one-pot method of utilizing the dynamic borate bond can provide a valuable reference for the design of hydrogel dosage forms.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disease with an alarming global prevalence, is associated with several serious health threats, including cardiovascular diseases. Current diabetes treatments have several limitations and disadvantages, creating the need for new effective formulations to combat this disease and its associated complications. This motivated the development of therapeutic strategies to overcome some of these limitations, such as low therapeutic drug bioavailability or poor compliance of patients with current therapeutic methodologies. Taking advantage of silica nanoparticle characteristics such as tuneable particle and pore size, surface chemistry and biocompatibility, silica-based nanocarriers have been developed with the potential to treat diabetes and regulate blood glucose concentration. This review discusses the main topics in the field, such as oral administration of insulin, glucose-responsive devices and innovative administration routes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a long-term chronic disease characterized by abnormal high level blood glucose (BG). An artificial closed-loop system that mimics pancreatic β-cells and releases insulin on demand has potential to improve the therapeutic efficiency of diabetes. Herein, a lectin Concanavalin A modified oxidized starch nanogel was designed to regulate glucose dynamically according to different glucose concentrations. The nanogels were formed by double cross-linking the Concanavalin A and glucose units on oxidized starch via specific binding and amide bonds to achieve the high drug loading and glucose responsiveness. The results showed that oxidized starch nanogels prolonged the half-life of antidiabetic peptide drug exenatide and released it in response to high BG concentrations. It could absorb BG at a high level and maintain glucose homeostasis. Besides, the oxidized starch nanogels performed well in recovering regular BG level from hyperglycemia state and maintaining in euglycemia state that fitted in a biological rhythm. In addition, the nanogels showed high biocompatibility in vivo and could improve plasma half-life and therapeutic efficacy of exenatide. Overall, the nanogels protected peptide drugs from degradation in plasma as a glucose-responsive platform showing a high potential for peptide drugs delivery and antidiabetic therapy.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14173611. [PMID: 36080686 PMCID: PMC9459923 DOI: 10.3390/polym14173611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) brushes were tethered on a silicon surface possessing a 500-nm hole array via atom transfer radical polymerization after the modification of the halogen group. Dextran-biotin (DB) was sequentially immobilized on the PMAA chains to obtain a P(MAA-DB) brush surrounding the hole edges on the silicon surface. After loading antibiotics inside the holes, biphenyl-4,4′-diboronic acid (BDA) was used to cross-link the P(MAA-DB) chains through the formation of boronate esters to cap the hole and block the release of the antibiotics. The boronate esters were disassociated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) to open the holes and release the antibiotics, thus indicating a reversible association. The total amount of drug inside the chip was approximately 52.4 μg cm−2, which could be released at a rate of approximately 1.6 μg h−1 cm−2 at a ROS concentration of 10 nM. The P(MAA-DB) brush-modified chip was biocompatible without significant toxicity toward L929 cells during the antibiotic release. The inflammation-triggered antibiotic release system based on a subcutaneous implant chip not only exhibits excellent efficacy against bacteria but also excellent biocompatibility, recyclability, and sensitivity, which can be easily extended to other drug delivery systems for numerous biomedical applications without phagocytosis- and metabolism-related issues.

Abstract
The incorporation of a phenylboronic acid group has appeared as an attractive strategy to build smart drug delivery systems. Here, we report novel synthesis of phenylboronic acid-functionalized copolypeptides based on an l-boronophenylalanine N-carboxyanhydride (BPA-NCA) monomer and their application for robust co-encapsulation and responsive release of dual anticancer drugs. By employing different poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) initiators and copolymerizing with varying NCA monomers, linear and star PEG-poly(l-boronophenylalanine) copolymers (PEG-PBPA, star-PEG-PBPA), PEG-poly(l-tyrosine-co-l-boronophenylalanine) [PEG-P(Tyr-co-BPA)], PEG-poly(l-lysine-co-l-boronophenylalanine) [PEG-P(Lys-co-BPA)], and PEG-poly(β-benzyl-l-aspartate-co-l-boronophenylalanine) [PEG-P(BLA-co-BPA)] were obtained with controlled compositions. Interestingly, PEG-PBPA self-assembled into uniform micellar nanoparticles that mediated robust co-encapsulation and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and acid-responsive release of dual antitumor drugs, curcumin (Cur) and sorafenib tosylate (Sor). These dual drug-loaded nanoparticles (PBN-Cur/Sor) exhibited a greatly enhanced anticancer effect toward U87 MG-luciferase glioblastoma cells. The facile synthesis of phenylboronic acid-functionalized copolypeptides from BPA coupled with their robust drug loading and responsive drug release behaviors make them interesting for construction of smart cancer nanomedicines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common metabolic disease and multifactorial, harming patients worldwide. Extensive research has been carried out in the search for novel drug delivery systems offering reliable control of glucose levels for diabetics, aiming at efficient management of DM. AREAS COVERED Polymeric micelles (PMs) as smart drug delivery nanocarriers are discussed, focusing on oral drug delivery applications for the management of hyperglycemia. The most recent approaches used for the preparation of smart PMs employ molecular features of amphiphilic block copolymers (ABCs), such as stimulus sensitivity, ligand conjugation, and as a more specific example the ability to inhibit islet amyloidosis. EXPERT OPINION PMs provide a unique platform for self-regulated or spatiotemporal drug delivery, mimicking the working mode of pancreatic islets to maintain glucose homeostasis for prolonged periods. This unique characteristic is achieved by tailoring the functional chemistry of ABCs considering the physicochemical traits of PMs, including sensing capabilities, hydrophobicity, etc. In addition, the application of ABCs for the inhibition of conformational changes in islet amyloid polypeptide garnered attention as one of the root causes of DM. However, research in this field is limited and further studies at the clinical level are required.

Abstract
Hydrogels obtained from natural polymers have received widespread attention for their excellent biocompatible property, nontoxicity, easy gelation, and functionalization. Polysaccharides can regulate the gut microbiota and improve the intestinal microenvironment, thus exerting the healthy effect of intestinal immunity. In an active substance delivery system, the extent and speed of the substance reaching its target are highly dependent on the carrier. Thus, the smart active substance delivery systems are gradually increasing. The smart polysaccharide-hydrogels possess the ability in response to external stimuli through changing their volume phase and structure, which are applied in various fields. Natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels possess excellent characteristics of environmental friendliness, good biocompatibility, and abundant sources. According to the response type, natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels are usually divided into stimulus-responsive hydrogels, including internal response (pH, temperature, enzyme, redox) and external response (light, electricity, magnetism) hydrogels. The delivery system based on polysaccharides can exert their effects in the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, polysaccharides may also take part in regulating the brain signals through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Therefore, natural polysaccharide-hydrogels are considered as promising biomaterials, which can be designed as delivery systems for regulating the gut-brain axis. This article reviews the research advance of stimulus-responsive hydrogels, which focus on the types, response characteristics, and applications for polysaccharide-based smart hydrogels as delivery systems.

Abstract
Most of the naked drugs, including small molecules, inorganic agents, and biomacromolecule agents, cannot be used directly for disease treatment because of their poor stability and undesirable pharmacokinetic behavior. Their shortcomings might seriously affect the exertion of their therapeutic effects. Recently, a variety of exogenous and endogenous nanomaterials have been developed as carriers for drug delivery. Among them, exosomes have attracted great attention due to their excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, low toxicity, and ability to overcome biological barriers. However, exosomes used as drug delivery carriers have significant challenges, such as low yields, complex contents, and poor homogeneity, which limit their application. Engineered exosomes or biomimetic exosomes have been fabricated through a variety of approaches to tackle these drawbacks. We summarized recent advances in biomimetic exosomes over the past decades and addressed the opportunities and challenges of the next-generation drug delivery system.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive hydrogel-microgel composites (HMC) were prepared by embedding poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels in a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based hydrogel. When the microgels were pre-loaded with the small molecule model drug crystal violet (CV) via electrostatics, the HMC was able to release the CV in a pH-triggered fashion. We found that the CV release rate was dependent on the solution temperature and the dimension of the material. Also, by changing the chemical composition and/or pore size of the hydrogel matrix, the CV release kinetics can be tuned. Moreover, when multiple microgels loaded with different model drugs were embedded in a single HMC, the HMC can be used to control the release rate of each drug analog individually in a pH-dependent fashion. By understanding how properties of a hydrogel can alter the release of small molecules from embedded microgels, new materials capable of controlled and triggered release of multiple small molecule drugs can be designed with myriad uses in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Recently, biomedicine and tissue regeneration have emerged as great advances that impacted the spectrum of healthcare. This left the door open for further improvement of their applications to revitalize the impaired tissues. Hence, restoring their functions. The implementation of therapeutic protocols that merge biomimetic scaffolds, bioactive molecules, and cells plays a pivotal role in this track. Smart/stimuli-responsive hydrogels are remarkable three-dimensional (3D) bioscaffolds intended for tissue engineering and other biomedical purposes. They can simulate the physicochemical, mechanical, and biological characters of the innate tissues. Also, they provide the aqueous conditions for cell growth, support 3D conformation, provide mechanical stability for the cells, and serve as potent delivery matrices for bioactive molecules. Many natural and artificial polymers were broadly utilized to design these intelligent platforms with novel advanced characteristics and tailored functionalities that fit such applications. In the present review, we highlighted the different types of smart/stimuli-responsive hydrogels with emphasis on their synthesis scheme. Besides, the mechanisms of their responsiveness to different stimuli were elaborated. Their potential for tissue engineering applications was discussed. Furthermore, their exploitation in other biomedical applications as targeted drug delivery, smart biosensors, actuators, 3D and 4D printing, and 3D cell culture were outlined. In addition, we threw light on smart self-healing hydrogels and their applications in biomedicine. Eventually, we presented their future perceptions in biomedical and tissue regeneration applications. Conclusively, current progress in the design of smart/stimuli-responsive hydrogels enhances their prospective to function as intelligent, and sophisticated systems in different biomedical applications.

Enhanced topical corticosteroids delivery to the eye: A trade-off in strategy choice. J Control Release 2021; 339:91-113. [PMID: 34560157 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2021.09.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Topical corticosteroids are the primary treatment of ocular inflammation caused by surgery, injury, or other conditions. Drug pre-corneal residence time, drug water solubility, and drug corneal permeability coefficient are the major factors that determine the ocular drug bioavailability after topical administration. Although growing research successfully enhanced local delivery of corticosteroids utilizing various strategies, rational and dynamic approaches to strategy selection are still lacking. Within this review, an overview of the various strategies as well as their performance in retention, solubility, and permeability coefficient of corticosteroids are provided. On this basis, the tradeoff of strategy selection is discussed, which may shed light on the rational choice and application of ophthalmic delivery enhancement strategies.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease manifested by hyperglycemia. For patients with type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin therapy is essential. Subcutaneous injection remains the most common administration method. Non-invasive insulin delivery technologies are pursued because of their benefits of decreasing patients' pain, anxiety, and stress. Transdermal delivery systems have gained extensive attention due to the ease of administration and absence of hepatic first-pass metabolism. Microneedle (MN) technology is one of the most promising tactics, which can effectively deliver insulin through skin stratum corneum in a minimally invasive and painless way. This article will review the research progress of MNs in insulin transdermal delivery, including hollow MNs, dissolving MNs, hydrogel MNs, and glucose-responsive MN patches, in which insulin dosage can be strictly controlled. The clinical studies about insulin delivery with MN devices have also been summarized and grouped based on the study phase. There are still several challenges to achieve successful translation of MNs-based insulin therapy. In this review, we also discussed these challenges including safety, efficacy, patient/prescriber acceptability, manufacturing and scale-up, and regulatory authority acceptability.

Abstract
This work aims to construct biocompatible, biodegradable core-cross-linked and insulin-loaded nanoparticles which are sensitive to glucose and release insulin via cleavage of the nanoparticles in a high-concentration blood glucose environment. First, a polyphosphoester-based diblock copolymer (PBYP-g-Gluc)-b-PEEP was prepared via ring-opening copolymerization (ROP) and the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) in which PBYP and PEEP represent the polymer segments from 2-(but-3-yn-1-yloxy)-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane and 2-ethoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane, respectively, and Gluc comes from 2-azidoethyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (Gluc-N3) that grafted with PBYP. The structure and molecular weight of the copolymer were characterized by 1H NMR, 31P NMR, GPC, FT-IR, and UV-vis measurements. The amphiphilic copolymer could self-assemble into core-shell uncore-cross-linked nanoparticles (UCCL NPs) in aqueous solutions and form core-cross-linked nanoparticles (CCL NPs) after adding cross-linking agent adipoylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to study the self-assembly behavior of the two kinds of NPs and the effect of different Gluc group contents on the size of NPs further to verify the stability and glucose sensitivity of CCL NPs. The ability of NPs to load fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled insulin (FITC-insulin) and their glucose-triggered release behavior were detected by a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results of methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and hemolysis activity experiments showed that the CCL NPs had good biocompatibility. An in vivo hypoglycemic study has shown that FITC-insulin-loaded CCL NPs could reduce blood glucose and have a protective effect on hypoglycemia. This research provides a new method for constructing biodegradable and glucose-sensitive core-cross-linked nanomedicine carriers for controlled insulin release.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disease that is affecting an ever-increasing number of people worldwide, resulting in increased burdens on healthcare systems and societies. Constant monitoring of blood glucose levels is required to prevent serious or even deadly complications. One major challenge of diabetes management is the simple and timely administration of insulin to facilitate consistent blood glucose regulation and reduce the incidence of hypoglycemia. With this research, we construct an insulin delivery system, the delivery system is comprised of phenylboronic acid based fluorescent probes, which is used as glucose responsive linkers, mesoporous silica nanoparticles providing an insulin reservoir, and zinc oxide nanoparticles used as gate keepers. The system with glucose sensitive responsive linker exhibits controlled release of insulin under high glucose concentrations, providing prolonged blood glucose regulation and no risks of hypoglycemia. Furthermore, the system is combined with a hyaluronic-acid based microneedle patch, which exhibit efficient skin penetration for transdermal delivery. With our system, the nanoparticles provide outstanding in vivo glucose regulation when administrated by subcutaneous injection or via transdermal microneedle patch. We anticipate that our biocompatible smart glucose responsive microneedle patch (SGRM patch) will facilitate the development of clinically useful systems.

Abstract
Microneedle (MN) patches consisting of miniature needles have emerged as a promising tool to perforate the stratum corneum and translocate biomolecules into the dermis in a minimally invasive manner. Stimuli-responsive MN patches represent emerging drug delivery systems that release cargos on-demand as a response to internal or external triggers. In this review, a variety of stimuli-responsive MN patches for controlled drug release are introduced, covering the mechanisms of action toward different indications. Future opportunities and challenges with respect to clinical translation are also discussed.

Abstract
As a painless and minimally invasive method of self-administration, microneedle is very promising to replace subcutaneous injection of insulin for type I diabetes treatment. Since the introduction of microneedles, many scholars have paid attention to and studied this technology, which has made it developed rapidly. However, there is no product on the market or in clinical trials at present. The reason is that there are still many technical problems in microneedle drug delivery system, such as the perfect integration of stable, controllable, fast, long-lasting, safe, and other necessary conditions. Here, we review the achievements that researchers have made that contain one or more of the above factors, and put some ideas to solve the limitations of insulin delivery by microneedles for reference.

Abstract
We had previously confirmed a glucose-responsive decrease in the viscosity of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and phenylboronic acid (PBA) wormlike micelle (WLM) systems. However, the mechanisms of the formation of WLMs and the decrease in viscosity with glucose addition have not been determined. In this study, we elucidated the mechanisms using 3-fluorophenylboronic acid (3FPBA) based on 11B NMR and 19F NMR analyses. The system in 60 mM CTAB/60 mM 3FPBA at pH 7.4 demonstrated high viscoelasticity, and the formation of WLMs in the system was confirmed by rheological characteristics. The 11B NMR spectrum at pH 7.4 revealed that 3FPBA existed in a neutral form with sp2-hybridized boron; however, the 11B signal disappeared in the presence of CTAB. In contrast, 19F NMR studies indicated that the quaternary ammonium ion of CTAB interacts with the phenyl group of 3FPBA in the sp2 form via cation-π interactions. PBA derivatives react with various polyols; thus, we investigated the change in the viscous system after the addition of sugar and sugar alcohols. The viscosity of the WLMs decreased with increased polyol concentration, especially those of fructose and mannitol, in which the decrease was apparent at 40-160 mM polyols. The 19F NMR spectra revealed that polyol addition induced decrease in the sp2 form of 3FPBA and increase in the sp3 form of 3FPBA. Based on the results, we propose the following mechanism of the polyol response: (1) The WLMs are stabilized by CTAB and 3FPBA in the sp2 form using cation-π interactions as the driving force. (2) When polyol is added to the system, the sp2 form of 3FPBA decreases and its sp3 form increases. (3) This change means that the structural component of WLMs decreases, which induces the disruption of WLMs, and the viscosity decreases. The formation and deformation mechanisms of the WLMs determined in this study are notable because 3FPBA interacts as a neutral compound, whereas CTAB often interacts with anionic aromatic compounds to form WLMs. Without 19F NMR measurements, these mechanisms would not have been discovered.

Abstract
Insulin therapy plays an essential role in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, frequent injections required to effectively control the glycemic levels lead to substantial inconvenience and low patient compliance. In order to improve insulin delivery, many efforts have been made, such as developing the nanoparticles (NPs)-based release systems and oral insulin. Although some improvements have been achieved, the ultimate results are still unsatisfying and none of insulin-loaded NPs systems have been approved for clinical use so far. Recently, nano‒protein interactions and protein corona formation have drawn much attention due to their negative influence on the in vivo fate of NPs systems. As the other side of a coin, such interactions can also be used for constructing advanced drug delivery systems. Herein, we aim to provide an insight into the advance and flaws of various NPs-based insulin delivery systems. Particularly, an interesting discussion on nano‒protein interactions and its potentials for developing novel insulin delivery systems is initiated. Insulin therapy plays essential roles in treating diabetes. Optimizing insulin delivery enhances insulin therapy. Nanoparticles are promising systems for delivery of insulin. Nano-protein interactions influence the delivery of nanoparticles. Nano-protein interactions can be used for advanced delivery of insulin.

Abstract
We report a physiologically stable and cytocompatible glucose-responsive nonviral gene delivery system made up of boronate functionalized polymeric material. Herein, we utilize boronate cis-diol interactions to develop a glucose-responsive submicron particle (SMP) system. The stability of the boronate interaction at a physiological pH was achieved by copolymerization of dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) with acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and the formation of a complex with polyvinylalcohol (PVA) which is governed by cis-diol interactions. The shift in hydrodynamic diameter of SMPs was observed and correlated with increasing glucose concentrations at a physiological pH. Optimal transfection was observed for a 5 µg dose of the gaussia luciferase reporter gene in NIH3T3 cells without any adverse effect on cellular viability. The destabilization of the AAPBA–PVA complex by interacting with glucose allowed the release of encapsulated bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a glucose-responsive manner. In total, 95% of BSA was released from SMPs at a 50 mM glucose concentration after 72 h. A two-fold increase in transfection was observed in 50 mM glucose compared to that of 10 mM glucose.

Abstract
Individuals with type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes require daily insulin therapy to maintain blood glucose levels in normoglycemic ranges to prevent associated morbidity and mortality. Optimal insulin delivery should offer both precise dosing in response to real-time blood glucose levels as well as a feasible and low-burden administration route to promote long-term adherence. A series of glucose-responsive insulin delivery mechanisms and devices have been reported to increase patient compliance while mitigating the risk of hypoglycemia. This review discusses currently available insulin delivery devices, overviews recent developments towards the generation of glucose-responsive delivery systems, and provides commentary on the opportunities and barriers ahead regarding the integration and translation of current glucose-responsive insulin delivery designs.

Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used for wound healing applications due to their similarity to the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and ability to provide a moist environment. However, lack of multifunctionality and low mechanical properties of previously developed hydrogels may limit their ability to support skin tissue regeneration. Incorporating various biomaterials and nanostructures into the hydrogels is an emerging approach to develop multifunctional hydrogels with new functions that are beneficial for wound healing. These multifunctional hydrogels can be fabricated with a wide range of functions and properties, including antibacterial, antioxidant, bioadhesive, and appropriate mechanical properties. Two approaches can be used for development of multifunctional hydrogel-based dressings; taking the advantages of the chemical composition of biomaterials and addition of nanomaterials or nanostructures. A large number of synthetic and natural polymers, bioactive molecules, or nanomaterials have been used to obtain hydrogel-based dressings with multifunctionality for wound healing applications. In the present review paper, advances in the development of multifunctional hydrogel-based dressings for wound healing have been highlighted.

Abstract
Stability in systemic circulation, effective tumor accumulation, and the subsequent crucial subcellular targeting are significant elements that maximize the therapeutic efficacy of a drug. Accordingly, novel nanoparticles based on polysaccharides that simultaneously presented prolonged systemic circulation and mitochondrial-targeted drug release were synthesized. First, the mitochondrial-targeted polymer, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl propionic acid-chitosan oligosaccharide-dithiodipropionic acid-berberine (DHPA-CDB), was synthesized, which was used to form self-assembled curcumin (Cur)-encapsulated cationic micelles (DHPA-CDB/Cur). Negatively charged oligomeric hyaluronic acid-3-carboxyphenylboronic acid (oHA-PBA), a ligand to sialic acid and CD44, was further added to the surface of the preformed DHPA-CDB/Cur core to shield the positive charges and to prolong blood persistence. oHA-PBA@DHPA-CDB/Cur formed a covalent polyplex of oHA-PBA and DHPA-CDB/Cur via the pH-responsive borate ester bond between PBA and DHPA. The mildly acidic tumor environment led to the degradation of borate ester bonds, thereby realizing the exposure of the cationic micelles and causing a charge reversal from -19.47 to +12.01 mV, to promote cell internalization and mitochondrial localization. Compared with micelles without the oHA-PBA modification, the prepared oHA-PBA@DHPA-CDB/Cur showed enhanced cytotoxicity to PANC-1 cells and greater cellular uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis. oHA-PBA@DHPA-CDB/Cur was effectively targeted to the mitochondria, which triggered mitochondrial membrane depolarization. In mice xenografted with PANC-1 cells, compared with control mice, oHA-PBA@DHPA-CDB/Cur resulted in more effective tumor suppression and greater biosafety with preferential accumulation in the tumor tissue. Thus, the long-circulating oHA-PBA@DHPA-CDB/Cur, with mitochondrial targeting and tumor environment charge-reversal capabilities, was shown to be an excellent candidate for subcellular-specific drug delivery.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic illness estimated to have affected 451 million individuals to date, with this number expected to significantly rise in the coming years. There are two main classes of this disease, namely type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Insulin therapy is pivotal in the management of diabetes, with diabetic individuals taking multiple daily insulin injections. However, the mode of administration has numerous drawbacks, resulting in poor patient compliance. In order to optimize insulin therapy, novel drug delivery systems (DDSes) have been suggested, and alternative routes of administration have been investigated. A novel aspect in the field of drug delivery was brought about by the coalescence of polymeric science and nanotechnology. In addition to polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs), insulin DDSes can incorporate the use of nanoplatforms/carriers. A combination of these systems can bring about novel formulations and lead to significant improvements in the drug delivery system (DDS) with regard to therapeutic efficacy, bioavailability, increased half-life, improved transport through physical and chemical barriers, and controlled drug delivery. This review will discuss how recent developments in polymer chemistry and nanotechnology have been employed in a multitude of platforms as well as in administration routes for the safe and efficient delivery of insulin for the treatment of DM.
