Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of an alternating copolymer (ACP) with a bio-reducible amphiphilic polydisulfide backbone and highlight the impact of the alternating monomer connectivity on the self-assembly, morphology, chain-exchange dynamics, drug-release kinetics, and enzyme activity inhibition. Condensation polymerization between hydrophobic 1,10-bis(pyridin-2-yldisulfaneyl)decane and hydrophilic 2,3-mercaptosuccinic acid (1.04 : 1.00 ratio) generated amphiphilic ACP P1 (Mw = 8450 g mol-1, Đ = 1.3), which exhibited self-assembly in water, leading to the formation of an ultra-thin (height <5.0 nm) entangled fibrillar network. In contrast, structurally similar amphiphilic random copolymer P2 exhibited a truncated irregular disc-like morphology under the same conditions. It is postulated that due to the perfect alternating sequence of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments in P1, its immiscibility-driven aggregation in water leads to a pleated structure, which further assembles and forms the observed long fibrillar structures, similar to crystallization-driven self-assembly. In fact, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) analysis of a lyophilized P1 sample showed sharp peaks, indicating its crystalline nature (approximately 37% crystallinity), and these were completely missing for P2. The effect of such distinct self-assembly on the chain-exchange dynamics was probed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) using 3,3'-dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate (DiO) and 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) as the FRET-donor and -acceptor, respectively. For DiI- and DiO-entrapped solutions of P1, when mixed, no prominent FRET appeared even after 24 h. In sharp contrast, for P2, intense FRET emission occurred, and the FRET ratio (approximately 0.9) reached saturation in approximately 15 h, indicating the greatly enhanced kinetic stability of P1 aggregates. Glutathione-induced release of encapsulated Nile red showed much slower kinetics for P1 compared to that of P2, which was corroborated by the observed slow chain-exchange dynamics of the highly stable alternating copolymer assembly. Furthermore, the well-ordered assembly of P1 exhibited an excellent surface-functional group display (zeta potential of -32 mV compared to -14 mV for P2), which resulted in the effective recognition of the α-chymotrypsin (Cht) protein surface by electrostatic interaction. Consequently, P1 significantly (>70%) suppressed the enzymatic activity of Cht, while in the presence of P2, the enzyme was still active with >70% efficacy.

Abstract
In the area of drug delivery aided by stimuli-responsive polymers, the biodegradability of nanocarriers is one of the major challenges that needs to be addressed with the utmost sincerity. Herein, a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) responsive hydrophobic dansyl-based trigger molecule is custom designed and successfully incorporated into the water-soluble polyurethane backbone, which is made of esterase enzyme susceptible urethane bonds. The amphiphilic polyurethanes, PUx (x = 2 and 3) with a biotin chain end, formed self-assembled nanoaggregates. A hemolysis and cytotoxicity profile of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded biotinylated PU3 nanocarriers revealed that it is nonhemolytic and has excellent selectivity toward HeLa cells (biotin receptor-positive cell lines) causing ∼60% cell death while maintaining almost 100% cell viability for HEK 293T cells (biotin receptor-negative cell lines). Furthermore, better cellular internalization of DOX-loaded fluorescent nanocarriers in HeLa cells than in HEK 293T cells confirmed receptor-mediated endocytosis. Thus, this work ensures that the synthesized polymers serve as biodegradable nanocarriers for anticancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Recent advances in the field of drug delivery have opened new avenues for the development of novel nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) in cancer therapy. Self-assembled nanoparticles (SANPs) based on tumour microenvironment have great advantages in improving antitumor effect, and pH-responsive SANPs prepared by the combination of pH-responsive nanomaterials and self-assembly technology can effectively improve the efficacy and reduce the systemic toxicity of antitumor drugs. In this review, we describe the characteristics of self-assembly and its driving force, the mechanism of pH-responsive NDDS, and the nanomaterials for pH-responsive SANPs type. A series of pH-responsive SANPs for tumour-targeted drug delivery are discussed, with an emphasis on the relation between structural features and theranostic performance.

Abstract
pH-sensitive amphiphilic diblock polyphosphoesters containing lactic acid units were synthesized by multistep one-pot polycondensation reactions. They comprise acid-labile P(O)-O-C and C(O)-O-C bonds, the cleavage of which depends on the pH of the medium. The structure of these copolymers was characterized by 1H, 13C {H}, 31P NMR, and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The newly synthesized polymers self-assembled into the micellar structure in an aqueous solution. The effects of the molecular weight of the copolymer and the length of the hydrophobic chain on micelle formation and stabilityand micelle size were studied via dynamic light scattering (DLS). Drug loading and encapsulation efficiency tests using doxorubicin revealed that hydrophobic drugs can be delivered by copolymers. It was established that the molecular weight of the copolymer, length of the hydrophobic chain and content of lactate units affects the size of the micelles, drug loading, and efficiency of encapsulation. A copolymer with 10.7% lactate content has drug loading (3.2 ± 0.3) and efficiency of encapsulation (57.4 ± 3.2), compared to the same copolymer with 41.8% lactate content (1.63%) and (45.8%), respectively. It was demonstrated that the poly[alkylpoly(ethylene glycol) phosphate-b-alkylpoly(ethylene glycol)lactate phosphate] DOX system has a pH-sensitive response capability in the result in which DOX was selectively accumulated into the tumor, where pH is acidic. The results obtained indicate that amphiphilic diblock polyphosphoesters have potential as drug carriers.

Abstract
The membrane lipid compositions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are inherently different in many aspects, although some similarities exist in their structure and composition. Therefore, selective targeting of membrane lipids with a compound of therapeutic value, such as an antibacterial copolymer, is often challenging. Hence, developing an ideal copolymer with antibacterial properties demands hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity balance with a high biosafety profile. To integrate hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance and cationic charge in an alternating antibacterial copolymer with enzyme and pH-responsiveness, a lysine appended styrenic monomer was copolymerized with a fatty acid (octanoic acid (OA) or myristic acid (MA)) tethered maleimide monomer via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. A range of microscopic analyses, including dynamic light scattering (DLS), confirmed the formation of nanoaggregates (size ∼30-40 nm) by these polymers in aqueous solution with positive zeta potential (cationic surface charge). Hydrophobic Nile red (NR) dye was successfully encapsulated in the nanoaggregates, and the in vitro release kinetics of the NR dye were monitored at different pHs and in the presence or absence of esterase/lipase. The in vitro release kinetics of NR revealed ∼85% dye release in the presence of pH 5.5 and lipase, suggesting their suitability for pH/enzyme-triggered therapeutic payload delivery. The standard broth microdilution assay showed significant bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria with an MIC50 value <30 μg mL-1. The effect of polymeric nanoaggregates on bacterial morphology and in vitro survival was further confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), agar gel disk diffusion assay, and bacterial live/dead cell count. The significantly low hemolytic activity against red blood cells (RBCs) (HC50 >103 μg mL-1) and nontoxic effect on human intestinal epithelial cells (INT 407) (EC50 >500 μg mL-1) ensure that the polymer nanoaggregates are safe for in vivo use and can serve as a potent antibacterial polymer.

Abstract
Zwitterionic polymers are an emerging family of effective, low-fouling materials that can withstand unintended interactions with biological systems while exhibiting enhanced activity in bacterial matrix deterioration and biofilm eradication. Herein, we modularly synthesized an amphiphilic block copolymer, ZABCP, featuring potential bacteriostatic properties composed of a charge-switchable polyzwitterionic segment and a redox-sensitive pendant disulfide-labeled polymethacrylate block. The leucine-appended polyzwitterionic segment with alternatively positioned cationic amine and anionic carboxylate functionalities undergoes charge alterations (+ve → 0 → -ve) on pH variation. By introducing appropriate amphiphilicity, ZABCP forms distinct vesicles with redox-sensitive bilayer membranes and zwitterionic shielding coronas, enabling switching of surface charge. ZABCP vesicles exhibit 180 ± 20 nm hydrodynamic diameter, and its charge switching behavior in response to pH was confirmed by the change of zeta potential value from -23 to +36 mV. The binding interaction between ZABCP vesicles with lysozyme and pepsin proteins strengthens when the surface charge shifts from neutral (pH 7.4) to either anionic or cationic. This surface-charge-switchable phenomenon paves the way for implementing cationic ZABCP vesicles for bacterial cell growth inhibition, which is shown by the pronounced transition of cellular morphology, including clustering, aggregation, or elongation as well as membrane disruption for both Bacillus subtilis (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative). Such enhanced bacteriostatic activity could be ascribed to a strong electrostatic interaction between cationic vesicles and negatively charged bacterial membranes, leading to cell membrane disruption. Overall, this study provides a tailor-made approach to adopt low-fouling properties and potential bacteriostatic activity using zwitterionic polymers through precise control of pH.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most prevalent and aggressive type of cancer, causing high mortality rates in women globally. Many drawbacks and side effects of the current chemotherapy force us to develop a robust chemotherapeutic system that can deal with off-target hazards and selectively combat cancer growth, invasiveness, and cancer-initiating cells. Here, a pH-responsive cross-linked nanocarrier (140-160 nm) endowed with poly-β-thioester functionality (CBAPTL) has been sketched and fabricated for noncovalent firm encapsulation of anticancer drug, parthenolide (PTL) at physiological pH (7.4), which enables sustain release of PTL at relevant endosomal pH (∼5.0-5.3). For this, a bolaamphiphilic molecule integrated with β-thioester and acrylate functionality was synthesized to fabricate the pH-responsive poly-β-thioester-based cross-linked nanocarrier via Michael addition click reactions in water. The poly-β-thioester functionality of CBAPTL hydrolyzes at endosomal acidic conditions, thus leading to the selective release of PTL inside the cancer cell. Cross-linked nanocarriers exhibit high serum stability, dilution insensitivity, and targeted cellular uptake at tumor microenvironment (TME), contrasting normal cells. In vitro study using human MCF-7 breast cancer cells demonstrated that CBAPTL exhibited selective cytotoxicity, reduced clonogenic potential, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and arrested the progression of the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase efficiently. CBAPTL induced apoptosis via downregulating pro-proliferative protein Bcl-2 and upregulating proapoptotic proteins p53, BAD, p21, and cleaved PARP-1. CBAPTL inhibited proliferating signaling by suppressing AKT phosphorylation and p38 expression. CBAPTL also blocked the invasion and migration of MCF-7 cells. CBAPTL effectively inhibits primary and secondary mammosphere formation, thereby preventing cancer-initiating cells' growth. Conversely, CBAPTL has negligible effect on human red blood cells (RBCs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). These findings highlight the superior efficacy of CBAPTL compared to PTL alone in suppressing cancer cell growth, inducing apoptosis, and preventing invasiveness of MCF-7 cells. Thus, CBAPTL could be considered a possible selective chemotherapeutic cargo against breast cancer without affecting normal cells.

Abstract
Gynecological cancers (GCs), ovarian, cervical, and endometrial/uterine cancers, are often associated with poor outcomes. Despite the development of several therapeutic modalities against GCs, the effectiveness of the current therapeutic approaches is limited due to their side effects, low therapeutic index, short halflife, and resistance to therapy. To overcome these limitations, nano delivery-based approaches have been introduced with the potential of targeted delivery, reduced toxicity, controlled release, and improved bioavailability of various cargos. This review summarizes the application of different nanoplatforms, such as lipid-based, metal- based, and polymeric nanoparticles, to improve the chemo/radio treatments of GC. In the following work, the use of nanoformulated agents to fight GCs has been mentioned in various clinical trials. Although nanosystems have their own challenges, the knowledge highlighted in this article could provide deep insight into translations of NPs approaches to overcome GCs.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is the mainstay of cancer treatment today. Chemotherapeutic drugs are non-selective and can harm both cancer and healthy cells, causing a variety of adverse effects such as lack of specificity, cytotoxicity, short half-life, poor solubility, multidrug resistance, and acquiring cancer stem-like characteristics. There is a paradigm shift in drug delivery systems (DDS) with the advent of smarter ways of targeted cancer treatment. Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDSs) are stimuli responsive and can be modified in chemical structure in response to light, pH, redox, magnetic fields, and enzyme degradation can be future of translational medicine. Therefore, SDDSs have the potential to be used as a viable cancer treatment alternative to traditional chemotherapy. This review focuses mostly on stimuli responsive drug delivery, inorganic nanocarriers (Carbon nanotubes, gold nanoparticles, Meso-porous silica nanoparticles, quantum dots etc.), organic nanocarriers (Dendrimers, liposomes, micelles), antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) and small molecule drug conjugates (SMDC) based SDDSs for targeted cancer therapy and strategies of targeted drug delivery systems in cancer cells.

Abstract
Physiologic pH is vital for the normal functioning of tissues and varies in different parts of the body. The varying pH of the body has been exploited to design pH-sensitive smart oral, transdermal and vaginal drug delivery systems (DDS). The DDS demonstrated promising results in hard-to-treat diseases such as cancer and Helicobacter pylori infection. In some cases, a change in pH of tissues or body fluids has also been employed as a useful diagnostic biomarker. This paper aims to comprehensively review the development and applications of pH-sensitive DDS as well as recent advances in the field.

Abstract
At high concentration or in the aggregated state, most of the traditional luminophores suffer from the general aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, which significantly limits their biomedical applications. On the contrary, a few fluorophores exhibit an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature which is just the opposite of ACQ. The luminophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) have exhibited noteworthy advantages to get tunable emission, excellent photostability, and biocompatibility. Incorporating AIEgens into polymer design has yielded diversified polymer systems with fascinating photophysical characteristics. Again, stimuli-responsive polymers are capable of undergoing chemical and/or physical property changes on receiving signals from single or multiple stimuli. The combination of the AIE property and stimuli responses in a single polymer platform provides a feasible and effective strategy for the development of smart polymers with promising biomedical applications. Herein, the advancements in stimuli-responsive polymers with AIE characteristics for biomedical applications are summarized. AIE-active polymers are first categorized into conventional π-π conjugated and nonconventional fluorophore systems and then subdivided based on various stimuli, such as pH, redox, enzyme, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and temperature. In each section, the design strategies of the smart polymers and their biomedical applications, including bioimaging, cancer theranostics, gene delivery, and antimicrobial examples, are introduced. The current challenges and future perspectives of this field are also stated at the end of this review article.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is a well-known industrial material regularly used in fishery, vegetable markets, and fruit shops for maintaining their freshness. But due to its carcinogenic nature and other toxic effects, it is very important to detect it in very low concentrations. In recent years, amine-containing fluorescent probes have gained significant attention for designing formaldehyde sensors. However, the major drawbacks of these small molecular probes are low sensitivity and long exposure time, which limits their real-life applications. In this regard, polymeric probes have gained significant attention to overcome the aforementioned problems. Several polymeric probes have been utilized as a coating material, nanoparticle, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), etc., for the selective and sensitive detection of formaldehyde. The main objective of this review article is to comprehensively describe the recent advancements in formaldehyde sensors based on small molecules and polymers, and their successful applications in various fields, especially in situ formaldehyde sensing in biological systems.

Abstract
This contribution describes the design and synthesis of multifunctional micelles based on amphiphilic brush block copolymers (BBCPs) for imaging and selective drug delivery of natural anticancer compounds. Well-defined BBCPs were synthesized via one-pot multi-step sequential grafting-through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene-based macroinitiators. The norbornenes employed contain a poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether chain, an alkyl bromide chain, and/or a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent cyanine dye. After block copolymerization, post-polymerization transformations using bromide-azide substitution, followed by the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) allowed for the functionalization of the BBCPs with the piplartine (PPT) moiety, a natural product with well-documented cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines, via an ester linker between the drug and the polymer side chain. The amphiphilic BBCPs self-assembled in aqueous media into nano-sized spherical micelles with neutral surface charges, as confirmed by dynamic light scattering analysis and transmission electron microscopy. During self-assembly, paclitaxel (PTX) could be effectively encapsulated into the hydrophobic core to form stable PTX-loaded micelles with high loading capacities and encapsulation efficiencies. The NIR fluorescent dye-containing micelles exhibited remarkable photophysical properties, excellent colloidal stability under physiological conditions, and a pH-induced disassembly under slightly acidic conditions, allowing for the release of the drug in a controlled manner. The in vitro studies demonstrated that the micelles without the drug (blank micelles) are biocompatible at concentrations of up to 1 mg mL-1 and present a high cellular internalization capacity toward MCF-7 cancer cells. The drug-functionalized micelles showed in vitro cytotoxicity comparable to free PPT and PTX against MCF-7 and PC3 cancer cells, confirming efficient drug release into the tumor environment upon cellular internalization. Furthermore, the drug-functionalized micelles exhibited higher selectivity than the pristine drugs and preferential cellular uptake in human cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and PC3) when compared to the normal breast cell line (MCF10A). This study provides an efficient strategy for the development of versatile polymeric nanosystems for drug delivery and image-guided diagnostics. Notably, the easy functionalization of BBCP side chains via SPAAC opens up the possibility for the preparation of a library of multifunctional systems containing other drugs or functionalities, such as target groups for recognition.

Abstract
Alternating sequencing of styrene-maleimide/maleic anhydride (S-MI/MA) in the copolymer chain is known for a long time. But since early 2000, this class of copolymers has been extensively studied using various living/controlled polymerization techniques to design S-MI/MA alternating copolymers with tunable molecular weight, narrow dispersity (Ð), and precise chain-end functionality. The widespread diverse applications of this polymeric backbone are due to its ease of synthesis, cheap starting materials, high precision in alternating sequencing, and facile post-polymerization functionalization with simple organic reactions. Recently, S-MI/MA alternating copolymers have been rediscovered as novel polymers with unprecedented emissive behavior. It outperforms the traditional fluorophores with no aggregation caused quenching (ACQ), aqueous solubility, and greater cell viability. Herein, the origin of alternating sequence, synthesis, and recent (2010-Present) developments in applications of these polymers in different fields are elaborately discussed, including the advantages of the unconventional luminogenic property. This review article also highlights the future research directions of the versatile S-MI/MA copolymers.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a leading cause of gynecological tumor related deaths worldwide. The applications of conventional approaches such as chemoradiotherapy and surgery are restricted due to their side effects and drug resistances. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as novel choices, their clinical response rates are rather limited. To date there is a lack of effective treatment regimens for patients with metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer. Recently nanomaterials like liposomes, dendrimers, and polymers are considered as promising delivery carriers with advantages of tumor‐specific administration, reduced toxicity, and improved biocompatibility. Here, we review the applications of nanoparticles in the fields of drug delivery, CRISPR based genome‐editing and therapeutic vaccines in cervical cancer treatment.

Abstract
In the past few decades, polymeric nanocarriers have been recognized as promising tools and have gained attention from researchers for their potential to efficiently deliver bioactive compounds, including drugs, proteins, genes, nucleic acids, etc., in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Remarkably, these polymeric nanocarriers could be further modified as stimuli-responsive systems based on the mechanism of triggered release, i.e., response to a specific stimulus, either endogenous (pH, enzymes, temperature, redox values, hypoxia, glucose levels) or exogenous (light, magnetism, ultrasound, electrical pulses) for the effective biodistribution and controlled release of drugs or genes at specific sites. Various nanoparticles (NPs) have been functionalized and used as templates for imaging systems in the form of metallic NPs, dendrimers, polymeric NPs, quantum dots, and liposomes. The use of polymeric nanocarriers for imaging and to deliver active compounds has attracted considerable interest in various cancer therapy fields. So-called smart nanopolymer systems are built to respond to certain stimuli such as temperature, pH, light intensity and wavelength, and electrical, magnetic and ultrasonic fields. Many imaging techniques have been explored including optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging, ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). This review reports on the most recent developments in imaging methods by analyzing examples of smart nanopolymers that can be imaged using one or more imaging techniques. Unique features, including nontoxicity, water solubility, biocompatibility, and the presence of multiple functional groups, designate polymeric nanocues as attractive nanomedicine candidates. In this context, we summarize various classes of multifunctional, polymeric, nano-sized formulations such as liposomes, micelles, nanogels, and dendrimers.

Abstract
Organic luminogens have extensive applications due to their unique photophysical properties. In recent years, nonconjugated organic luminogens, in contrast to traditional conjugated luminogens, have gained much attention because of their facile preparation, environmental friendliness, and biocompatibility. In this study, a new kind of nonconventional luminogen based on dynamic covalent cross-linked polyhydroxyurethane is reported for the first time. The new luminogen not only exhibits intrinsic strong fluorescent emission in the solid state but also possesses high mechanical properties along with good shape memory and self-healing properties. In addition, the new luminogens are synthesized from aliphatic polyfunctional cyclic carbonate and amines via a much more straightforward method, avoiding the use of toxic isocyanates. Investigations indicated that the intrinsic luminescence of the resultant luminogens was induced by the cross-linking of polymer chains and could be well tuned by controlling the degree of cross-linking. By taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the resultant polymer luminogens, we further developed a facile method, named "light-mediated ink-free screen printing", for anticounterfeiting paper fabrication. Different from traditional ink-based printing technology, the new method used UV-light instead of expensive security ink to encode anticounterfeiting information on natural cellulose paper. The anticounterfeiting information is stable under various wet conditions, showing promising applications in the fast-growing counterfeiting of pharmaceuticals, packaging, and the food industry.

Abstract
A well-defined amphiphilic phenylthiosemicarbazone-based block copolymer was successfully synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, followed by postpolymerization modification. Poly( N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (pDMA) was synthesized via RAFT polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA). The resulting pDMA macrochain transfer agent was further extended using 3-vinylbenzaldehyde (VBA) to yield the poly[( N,N-dimethylacrylamide)- b-(3-vinylbenzaldehyde)] [p(DMA- b-VBA)] block copolymer. The aldehyde groups of p(DMA- b-VBA) were then made to react with 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide to yield the target block copolymer poly{ N,N-dimethylacrylamide- b-[ N-phenyl-2-(3-vinylbenzylidene)hydrazine carbothioamide]} [p(DMA- b-PVHC)]. p(DMA- b-PVHC) self-assembled in aqueous solution to yield polymeric micelles that comprise a pDMA block that forms a hydrophilic shell and a pPVHC block that forms a hydrophobic core. p(DMA- b-PVHC) micelles can detect Cu(II) ions which can be determined by a color change from colorless to yellow induced by the formation of coordination complexes between Cu(II) ions and the phenylthiosemicarbazone units of p(DMA- b-PVHC). As Cu(II) ions slowly penetrated the core of p(DMA- b-PVHC) micelles, these cores cross-linked with each other, which in turn resulted in the micelle particles swelling in water. Upon the addition of Cu(II) ions to a solution of p(DMA- b-PVHC) micelles encapsulating the hydrophobic model drug coumarin 102, this drug was released from the micelles in a sustained manner due to the gradual swelling of the cross-linked micelle cores caused by the slow penetration of Cu(II) ions.
