Abstract
Puerarin (Pue) is a naturally bioactive compound with many potential functions in regulating blood glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the low bioavailability and rapid elimination in vivo limit the application of Pue in diabetic treatment. Here, we developed a metal-polyphenol-functionalized microgel to effectively deliver Pue in vivo and eventually alleviate the onset of diabetes. Pue was initially encapsulated in alginate beads through electrospray technology, and further immersed in Fe3+ and tannic acid solution from tannic acid (TA)-iron (Fe) coatings (TF). These constructed Pue@SA-TF microgels exhibited uniform spheres with an average size of 367.89 ± 18.74 µm and high encapsulation efficiency of Pue with 61.16 ± 1.39%. In vivo experiments proved that compared with free Pue and microgels without TF coatings, the biological distribution of Pue@SA-TF microgels specifically accumulated in the small intestine, prolonged the retention time of Pue, and achieved a high effectiveness in vivo. Anti-diabetic experimental results showed that Pue@SA-TF microgels significantly improved the levels of blood glucose, blood lipid, and oxidative stress in diabetic mice. Meanwhile, histopathological observations indicated that Pue@SA-TF microgels could significantly alleviate the damage to the liver, kidney, and pancreas in diabetic mice. Our study provided an effective strategy for oral delivery of Pue and achieved high anti-diabetic efficacy.

Abstract
Multifunctional dressing materials are highly required to combat multidrug resistant bacteria in wound infections. Here an alginate-based aerogel dressing is reported that combines photothermal bactericidal activity, hemostatic property, and free radical scavenging for skin wound disinfection and accelerated wound healing. The aerogel dressing is facilely constructed by immersing a clean nail (Fe) in a mixed solution of sodium alginate (Alg) and tannic acid (TA), followed by freezing, solvent replacement, and air drying. The Alg matrix plays an essential role in modulating the continuous assembly process between TA and Fe to allow the homogenous distribution of TA-Fe metal-phenolic networks (MPN) in the resulting composite, without forming aggregates. The photothermally responsive Nail-TA/Alg aerogel dressing is successfully applied in a murine skin wound model infected with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This work provides a facile strategy to integrate MPN with the hydrogel/aerogel matrix through in situ chemistry, which is promising for developing multifunctional biomaterials and biomedicine.

Abstract
Numerous disinfection methods have been developed to reduce the transmission of infectious diseases that threaten human health. However, it still remains elusively challenging to develop eco-friendly and cost-effective methods that deactivate a wide range of pathogens, from viruses to bacteria and fungi, without doing any harm to humans or the environment. Herein we report a natural spraying protocol, based on a water-dispersible supramolecular sol of nature-derived tannic acid (TA) and Fe3+, which is easy-to-use and low-cost. Our formulation effectively deactivates viruses (influenza A viruses, SARS-CoV-2, and human rhinovirus) as well as suppressing the growth and spread of pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii) and fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus and Trichophyton rubrum). Its versatile applicability in a real-life setting is also demonstrated against microorganisms present on the surfaces of common household items (e.g., air filter membranes, disposable face masks, kitchen sinks, mobile phones, refrigerators, and toilet seats).

Abstract
Coordination-driven self-assembly of metal-ligand complexes is a powerful nanoarchitectonic tool for particle engineering, but its usability is limited when using two immiscible coating components. This paper reports that simple vortexing of a biphasic system of Fe3+ ions in water and flavonoids in oil forms nanoshells on individual particles, thereby enabling the utilization of water-insoluble ligands as coating materials. Mechanistic studies suggest that the biphasic mass-transfer equilibrium of flavonoid-Fe3+ species controls the shell formation, with the oil phase acting as a reservoir of coating precursors for continuous coating. The versatility and convenience of our method expand the chemical toolbox for modulating particle-material interfaces.

Abstract
One-step fabrication method for thin films and shells is developed with nature-derived eggshell membrane hydrolysates (ESMHs) and coffee melanoidins (CMs) that have been discarded as food waste. The nature-derived polymeric materials, ESMHs and CMs, prove highly biocompatible with living cells, and the one-step method enables cytocompatible construction of cell-in-shell nanobiohybrid structures. Nanometric ESMH-CM shells are formed on individual probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus, without any noticeable decrease in viability, and the ESMH-CM shells effectively protected L. acidophilus in the simulated gastric fluid (SGF). The cytoprotection power is further enhanced by Fe3+-mediated shell augmentation. For example, after 2 h of incubation in SGF, the viability of native L. acidophilus is 30%, whereas nanoencapsulated L. acidophilus, armed with the Fe3+-fortified ESMH-CM shells, show 79% in viability. The simple, time-efficient, and easy-to-process method developed in this work would contribute to many technological developments, including microbial biotherapeutics, as well as waste upcycling.

Abstract
Improving bioavailability of orally delivered drugs is still challenging, as conventional drug delivery systems suffer from non-specific drug delivery in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and limited drug absorption efficiency. Gastric drug delivery is even more difficult due to the harsh microenvironment, short retention time, and physiologic barriers in the stomach. Here, an oral drug delivery microcapsule system was developed for gastric drug delivery, which consists of ionic liquid (IL) as the inner carrier and metal-phenolic network (MPN) as the microcapsule shell. The IL@MPN microcapsules are prepared by interfacial self-assembly of FeIII and quercetin at the interface of hydrophobic IL ([EMIM][NTf2]) and water. The formation of MPN shell could improve the stability of IL droplets in water and endow the system with pH-response drug release properties, while the encapsulated IL core could efficiently load the drug and enhance the drug tissue permeability. The IL@MPN microcapsules showed enhanced drug absorption in the stomach after oral administration in a rat model, where the microcapsules are disassembled in gastric acid, and the released IL could reduce the viscosity of mucus gel and increase the drug transport rate across endothelial cells. This work presents a simple yet efficient strategy for oral drug delivery to the stomach. Given the diversity and versatility of both MPN and IL, the proposed self-assembled microcapsules could expand the toolbox of drug delivery systems with enhanced oral drug bioavailability.

Abstract
Cell-in-shell biohybrid structures, synthesized by encapsulating individual living cells with exogenous materials, have emerged as exciting functional entities for engineered living materials, with emergent properties outside the scope of biochemical modifications. Artificial exoskeletons have, to date, provided physicochemical shelters to the cells inside in the first stage of technological development, and further advances in the field demand catalytically empowered, cellular hybrid systems that augment the biological functions of cells and even introduce completely new functions to the cells. This work describes a facile and generalizable strategy for empowering living cells with extrinsic catalytic capability through nanoencapsulation of living cells with a supramolecular metal-organic complex of Fe3+ and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC). A series of enzymes are embedded in situ, without loss of catalytic activity, in the Fe3+ -BTC shells, not to mention the superior characteristics of cytocompatible and rapid shell-forming processes. The nanoshell enhances the catalytic efficiency of multienzymatic cascade reactions by confining reaction intermediates to its internal voids and the nanoencapsulated cells acquire exogenous biochemical functions, including enzymatic cleavage of lethal octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside into d-glucose, with autonomous cytoprotection. The system will provide a versatile, nanoarchitectonic tool for interfacing biological cells with functional materials, especially for catalytic bioempowerment of living cells.

Abstract
In the last years coating of surfaces in the presence of dopamine or other catecholamines in oxidative conditions to yield "polydopamine" films has become a popular, easy and versatile coating methodology. Polydopamine(s) offer(s) also a rich chemistry allowing to post-functionalize the obtained coatings with metal nanoparticles with polymers and proteins. However, the interactions either of covalent or non-covalent nature between polydopamine and biomolecules has only been explored more recently. They allow polydopamine to become a material, in the form of nanoparticles, membranes and other assemblies, in its own right not just as a coating. It is the aim of this review to describe the most recent advances in the design of composites between polydopamine and related eumelanin like materials with biomolecules like proteins, nucleotides, oligosaccharides and lipid assemblies. Furthermore, the interactions between polydopamine and living cells will be also reported.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) may be differentiated into any adult cell type and therefore hold incredible promise for cell therapeutics and disease modeling. There is increasing interest in three-dimensional (3D) hPSC culture because of improved differentiation outcomes and potential for scale up. Our team has recently described bioactive heparin (Hep)-containing core-shell microcapsules that promote rapid aggregation of stem cells into spheroids and may also be loaded with growth factors for the local and sustained delivery to the encapsulated cells. In this study, we explored the possibility of further modulating bioactivity of microcapsules through the use of an ultrathin coating composed of tannic acid (TA). Deposition of the TA film onto model substrates functionalized with Hep and poly(ethylene glycol) was characterized by ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy. Furthermore, the presence of the TA coating was observed to increase the amount of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) incorporation by up to twofold and to extend its release from 5 to 7 days. Most significantly, TA-microcapsules loaded with bFGF induced higher levels of pluripotency expression compared to uncoated microcapsules containing bFGF. Engineered microcapsules described here represent a new stem cell culture approach that enables 3D cultivation and relies on local delivery of inductive cues.

Abstract
Advanced treatments based on immune system manipulation, gene transcription and regulation, specific organ and cell targeting, and/or photon energy conversion have emerged as promising therapeutic strategies against a range of challenging diseases. Naturally derived macromolecules (e.g., proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and polyphenols) have increasingly found use as fundamental building blocks for nanostructured particles as their advantageous properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, inherent bioactivity, and diverse chemical properties make them suitable for advanced therapeutic applications. This review provides a timely and comprehensive summary of the use of a broad range of natural building blocks in the rapidly developing field of advanced therapeutics with insights specific to nanostructured particles. We focus on an up-to-date overview of the assembly of nanostructured particles using natural building blocks and summarize their key scientific and preclinical milestones for advanced therapies, including adoptive cell therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, active targeted drug delivery, photoacoustic therapy and imaging, photothermal therapy, and combinational therapy. A cross-comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different natural building blocks are highlighted to elucidate the key design principles for such bio-derived nanoparticles toward improving their performance and adoption. Current challenges and future research directions are also discussed, which will accelerate our understanding of designing, engineering, and applying nanostructured particles for advanced therapies.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a tyrosine-based azido derivative (TBAD) that permits both substrate-independent surface coating and clickable film functionalization by mimicking natural melanogenesis. In contrast to catechol derivatives, which are generally susceptible to oxidation by air under ambient conditions, the monophenol-based TBAD remains stable under alkaline and neutral conditions, and is activated to oxidized quinone in situ by tyrosinase to initiate melanin-like polymerization. The resulting poly(TBAD) film can be formed on various substrates including noble metals, metal oxides, and synthetic polymers, which can undergo click reaction with terminal alkyne moieties on the entire surface or a specific region through Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The enzyme-mediated coating can rapidly form thin films (∼10 nm) and produce a uniform film morphology, which are important aspects in surface chemistry. This on-demand, clickable coating may become a significant tool for bioconjugation, soft lithography, and labeling techniques. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Enzyme-instructed self-assembly, integrating enzymatic reaction and molecular self-assembly, has drawn noticeable attention over the last decade with the intension of being used in valuable applications. Recent advances in the field allow it possible to spatiotemporally control peptide self-assembly in cellular milieu, broadening the potential applications of peptide assemblies to cancer therapy and subcellular delivery. In this minireview, the concept of enzyme-instructed self-assembly of peptide, containing enzymatic trigger and spatiotemporal control, is described. Representative applications in cells are also discussed, followed by outlook on the field of enzyme-instructed self-assembly.
