Crit Rev Biotechnol 2024; 44:860-891. [PMID: 37442771 DOI: 10.1080/07388551.2023.2213398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
3D bioprinting is an advanced technology combining cells and bioactive molecules within a single bioscaffold; however, this scaffold cannot change, modify or grow in response to a dynamic implemented environment. Lately, a new era of smart polymers and hydrogels has emerged, which can add another dimension, e.g., time to 3D bioprinting, to address some of the current approaches' limitations. This concept is indicated as 4D bioprinting. This approach may assist in fabricating tissue-like structures with a configuration and function that mimic the natural tissue. These scaffolds can change and reform as the tissue are transformed with the potential of specific drug or biomolecules released for various biomedical applications, such as biosensing, wound healing, soft robotics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering, though 4D bioprinting is still in its early stages and more works are required to advance it. In this review article, the critical challenge in the field of 4D bioprinting and transformations from 3D bioprinting to 4D phases is reviewed. Also, the mechanistic aspects from the chemistry and material science point of view are discussed too.

Abstract
The upconversion luminescence (UCL) lifetime has a wide range of applications, serving as a critical parameter for optimizing the performance of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) in various fields. It is crucial to understand that this lifetime does not directly correlate with the decay time of the emission level; rather, it represents a compilation of all the physical phenomena taking place in the upconversion process. To delve deeper into this, we analyzed the dependence of the UCL lifetime on the excitation pulse width for β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles. The results revealed a significant increase in the UCL lifetime with both the excitation pulse width and the excitation intensity. The laser fluence was identified as the parameter governing the UCL decay dynamics. We showcased the universality of the pulse-width-dependent UCL lifetime phenomenon by employing UCNPs of various sizes, surface coatings, host matrices, Yb3+ and Er3+ ratios, and dispersing UCNPs in different solvents. Theoretical explanations for the experimental findings were derived through a rate equation analysis. Finally, we discussed the implications of these results in UCNP-FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer)-based applications.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a unique iron-dependent mode of cell death characterized by lipid peroxide accumulation, holds significant potential for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). However, the effectiveness of ferroptosis is hindered by the limited intracellular ferrous ions (Fe2+) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In this study, a novel near-infrared (NIR)-light-responsive nanoplatform (ApoE-UMSNs-GOx/SRF) based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) was developed. A layer of mesoporous silica and a lipid bilayer were coated on UCNPs sequentially and loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and sorafenib, respectively. Further attachment of the ApoE peptide endowed the nanoplatform with BBB penetration and GBM targeting capabilities. Our results revealed that ApoE-UMSNs-GOx/SRF could efficiently accumulated in the orthotopic GBM and induce amplified ferroptosis when combining with NIR irradiation. The UCNPs mediated the photoreduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ by converting NIR to UV light, and excess H2O2 was produced by the reaction of glucose with the loaded GOx. These processes greatly promoted the production of ROS, which together with inhibition of system Xc- by the loaded sorafenib, leading to enhanced accumulation of lipid peroxides and significantly improved the antiglioma effect both in vitro and in vivo. Our strategy has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of ferroptosis as a therapeutic approach for GBM.

Abstract
Photoaffinity labeling (PAL) has blossomed into a powerful and versatile tool for capture and identification of biomolecular targets. However, low labeling efficiency for specific targets such as lectins, the tedious process for protein purification, inevitable cellular photodamage, and less tissue penetration of UV light are significant challenges. Herein, we reported a near-infrared (NIR) light-driven photoaffinity labeling approach using upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP)-based photoactive probes, which were constructed by assembling photoactive groups and ligands onto NaYF4:Yb,Tm nanoparticles. The novel probes were easily prepared and functionalized, and the labeled proteins can be isolated and purified through simple centrifugation and washing. The advantages of this approach were demonstrated by labeling and isolation of peanut agglutinin (PNA), asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), and human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII) from mixed proteins or cell lysates with good selectivity and efficiency, especially for PNA and ASGPR, two lectins that showed low binding affinity to their ligands. More importantly, successful labeling of PNA through pork tissues and ASGPR in mice strongly proved the good tissue penetrating capacity of NIR light and the application potential of UCNP-based photoactive probes for protein labeling in vivo. Biosafety of this approach was experimentally validated by enzyme, cell, and animal work, and we demonstrated that NIR light caused minimal photodamage to enzyme activity compared to UV light, and the UCNP-based photoactive probe presents good biosafety both in vitro and in vivo. We believe that this novel PAL approach will provide a promising tool for study of ligand-protein interactions and identification of biomolecular targets.

Abstract
The synthesis of light-responsive nanocarriers (LRNs) with a variety of surface functional groups and/or ligands has been intensively explored for space-temporal controlled cargo release. LRNs have been designed on demand for photodynamic-, photothermal-, chemo-, and radiotherapy, protected delivery of bioactive molecules, such as smart drug delivery systems and for theranostic duties. LRNs trigger the release of cargo by a light stimulus. The idea of modifying LRNs with different moieties and ligands search for site-specific cargo delivery imparting stealth effects and/or eliciting specific cellular interactions to improve the nanosystems’ safety and efficacy. This work reviews photoresponsive polymeric nanocarriers and photo-stimulation mechanisms, surface chemistry to link ligands and characterization of the resultant nanosystems. It summarizes the interesting biomedical applications of functionalized photo-controlled nanocarriers, highlighting the current challenges and opportunities of such high-performance photo-triggered delivery systems.

Abstract
The strong upconversion luminescence (UCL) of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) endows the nanoparticles with attractive features for combined imaging and drug delivery. UCNPs convert near-infrared (NIR) light into light of shorter wavelengths such as light in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible regions, which can be used for light-guided drug delivery. Although light-responsive drug delivery systems as such have been known for many years, their application in medicine is limited, as strong UV-light can be damaging to tissue; moreover, UV light will not penetrate deeply into the skin, an issue that UCNPs can now address. However, UCNPs, as obtained after synthesis, are usually hydrophobic and require further surface functionalization to be stable in plasma. Polymers can serve as versatile surface coatings, as they can provide good colloidal stability, prevent the formation of a protein corona, provide a matrix for drugs, and be stimuli-responsive. In this Review, we provide a brief overview of the most recent progress in the synthesis of UCNPs with different shapes/sizes. We will then discuss the purpose of polymer coating for drug delivery before summarizing the strategies to coat UCNPs with various polymers. We will introduce the different polymers that have so far been used to coat UCNPs with the purpose to create a drug delivery system, focusing in detail on light-responsive polymers. To expand the application of UCNPs to allow photothermal therapy or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or to simply enhance the loading capacity of drugs, UCNPs were often combined with other materials to generate multifunctional nanoparticles such as carbon-based NPs and nanoMOFs. We then conclude with a discussion on drug loading and release and summarize the current knowledge on the toxicity of these polymer-coated UCNPs.

Abstract
The devastating nature of cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death in the world. Chemotherapy is among the most common forms of cancer treatment but comes with a host of adverse effects caused by the therapeutic agents damaging healthy tissue and organs. To limit these side effects, scientists have been designing stimuli responsive drug delivery vessels for targeted release. This Review focuses on the incorporation of stimuli responsive linkages in targeted drug delivery systems to enhance therapeutic efficiency. These platforms are primarily employed to control the distribution of anticancer agents in the body to reduce the adverse side effects caused by their toxicities. We will outline how drug delivery vessels are constructed so that exposure to select environmental and external stimuli releases the enclosed drug only at the target site. Stimuli responsive components are integrated within drug delivery vessels in the form of cross-linkers, polymers, and surface modifications. The changes, these moieties undergo upon stimuli exposure, cascade into larger scale alterations to the platforms, resulting in complete disassembly, reversible morphological variations, and enhanced cellular uptake. The ability for these modes of delivery to be initiated exclusively under stimuli exposure allows for release of toxic therapeutic agents to be confined only to the affected area.

Abstract
Maximum utilization of the full solar spectrum has been considered as a holy grail in the field of photocatalysis and has emerged important in the recent years, as the world needs to move towards renewable energy sources and also to maintain environmental health. In the search for a sustainable solution, we have come up with a strategic combination of materials, which can be active under all the three regions, namely ultraviolet (UV), visible and near infrared (NIR) of the sunlight. Specifically, we have developed a series of nanocomposites comprising of two dimensional nanosheets of zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphitic carbon nitride (GCN), and successfully coupled them with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP). These nanocomposites have been successfully utilized for the photocatalytic chromium (Cr(VI)) reduction. The prepared nanocomposites exhibit an excellent photocatalytic activity toward reduction of Cr(VI) under different light region. A plausible mechanism for the photocatalytic process has been proposed based on the detailed study. This work is expected to pave way for the strategic design and development of many photocatalytic systems, which can utilize sunlight to the maximum extent.

Abstract
Over the past 10 years, stimuli-responsive polymeric biomaterials have emerged as effective systems for the delivery of therapeutics. Persistent with ongoing efforts to minimize adverse effects, stimuli-responsive biomaterials are designed to release in response to either chemical, physical, or biological triggers. The stimuli-responsiveness of smart biomaterials may improve spatiotemporal specificity of release. The material design may be used to tailor smart polymers to release a drug when particular stimuli are present. Smart biomaterials may use internal or external stimuli as triggering mechanisms. Internal stimuli-responsive smart biomaterials include those that respond to specific enzymes or changes in microenvironment pH; external stimuli can consist of electromagnetic, light, or acoustic energy; with some smart biomaterials responding to multiple stimuli. This review looks at current and evolving stimuli-responsive polymeric biomaterials in their proposed applications.

Abstract
Background: The design of novel nanoparticles with higher therapeutic efficacy and lower side effects, is still difficult but encouraging in cancer therapy. Specifically, for upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP)-based drug release, a high intensity of NIR light (1.4~5.0 W/cm2) above the maximum permissible exposure (0.33 W/cm2 for 980 nm) is commonly used and severely limits its practical application. Methods: The highly emissive UCNP is first synthesized and then coated with mesoporous silica (MS) shell (UCMS). Next, the surface of UCMS is modified with the thioether (-S-BP) linker, leading to UCMS-S-BP nanoparticles. Finally, after the drug doxorubicin (Dox) is loaded into the pore channels of UCMS, the pore openings are blocked by the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) gatekeeper through the association with the -S-BP linker (UCMS(Dox)-S-BP@β-CD). Results: Upon 980 nm NIR light irradiation with an ultralow intensity of 0.30 W/cm2, it is found that the loaded Dox can be released through the cleavage of thioether linkers triggering dissociation of β-CD gatekeepers. The in vitro results exhibited significantly therapeutic efficacy with 85.2% of HeLa cells killed in this study. Conclusions: An ultralow-intensity NIR light triggered on-demand drug release system has been developed by employing highly emissive UCNP and photocleavable linker with low bond dissociation energy to avoid the potential photodamage on healthy neighbor cells.

Abstract
Nanocarriers are of paramount significance for drug delivery and nanomedicine technology. Given the imperfect systems and nonideal therapeutic effects, there are works to be done in synthesis as much as in biological studies, if not more so. Building the foundation of synthesis would offer more tools and deeper insights for exploring the biological systems with extreme complexity. This review aims at a broad-scope summary and classification of nanocarriers for drug delivery, with focus on the synthetic strategy and structural implications. The nanocarriers are divided into four categories according to the loading principle: molecular-level loading, surface loading, matrix loading, and cavity loading systems. Making comparisons across diverse nanocarrier systems would make it easier to see the fundamental characteristics, from where the weakness can be addressed and the strengths combined. The systematic comparisons may also inspire new ideas and methods.

Abstract
The worldwide increase in bacterial antibiotic resistance has led to a search for alternative antibacterial therapies. The present study reports the development of yolk-structured multifunctional up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) that combine photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy for effective killing of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) were achieved by enclosing hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) into its yolk-structured up-conversion core and covalently linked rose bengal (RB) on its silica (SiO2) shell. Excitation of UCNPs with near-infrared (NIR) light that has improved penetration depth for photodynamic therapy (PDT) enabled the activation of HMME and RB and thus the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2). The SiO2 layer, which improved the biocompatibility of the UCNPs, surrounded the yolk structure, with a cavity space which had a high efficiency of loading photosensitizers. Synergistic PDT and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) improved the photosensitizer utilization rate. As a result, a greater inhibition rate was observed when antibiotic-resistant bacteria were treated with a combined therapy (100%) compared with either the PDT (74.2%) or SDT (70%) alone. Our data indicate that the multifunctional NPs developed in this study have the potential for use in the clinical synergistic PDT-SDT treatment of infectious diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Exploring novel drug delivery systems with good stability and new structure to integrate pillararene and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into one system continues to be an important challenge. Herein, we report a novel preparation of a supramolecular upconversion nanosystem via the host-guest complexation based on carboxylate-based pillar[5]arene (WP5) and 15-carboxy-N,N,N-trialkylpentadecan-1-ammonium bromide (1)-functionalized UCNPs to produce WP5⊃1-UCNPs that can be loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX). Importantly, the WP5 on the surface of the drug-loaded nanosystem can be efficiently protonated under acidic conditions, resulting in the collapse of the nanosystem and drug release. Moreover, cellular uptake confirms that the nanosystem can enter human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells, resulting in drug accumulation in the cells. More importantly, cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated the excellent biocompatibility of WP5⊃1-UCNPs without loading DOX and that the nanosystem DOX-WP5⊃1-UCNPs exhibited an ability of killing HeLa cells effectively. We also investigated magnetic resonance imaging and upconversion luminescence imaging, which may be employed as visual imaging agents in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Thus, in the present work, we show a simple yet powerful strategy to combine UCNPs and pillar[5]arene to produce a unified nanosystem for dual-mode bioimaging-guided therapeutic applications.

Abstract
In recent years, considerable efforts have been done to better understand the peculiar emission properties of upconverting materials due to their widespread applications in different and important technological fields such as upconversion-based photoactivated cancer therapies, photoactivated drug-delivery, magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, bioimaging. However, one of the most promising applications of upconverting materials concerns the field of sensing, due to their unique emission properties. In fact, the minimal autofluorescence, blinking, photo-bleaching, and high photostability makes them an excellent alternative to organic dyes or quantum dots. This article reviews the state-of-the-art, design, and sensing strategies of upconversion-based sensing platforms, with special attention to upconverting nanoparticles, as well as how the incorporation of these materials into pre-existing diagnostic tests and bioassays have improved their capabilities for the detection of different kinds of analytes.

Abstract
Despite the large absorption cross-section of Nd3+ dopant as a sensitizer in lanthanide doped luminescence system, the strong cross-relaxation effect of it impedes the promotion of doping concentration and thus reduces the utilization of excitation light. In this work, we introduce a highly efficient acceptor, Yb3+ ion, which can quickly receive energy from Nd3+ ions, to construct an energy transfer highway for the enhancement of near-infrared emission. By using the energy transfer highway, the doping amount of Nd3+ ions in our NaYF4:Yb,Nd@CaF2 core/shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) can be markedly elevated to 60%. The quantum yield of CSNPs was determined to be 20.7%, which provides strong near-infrared luminescence for further bioimaging application. Remarkably, deep tissue penetration depth (∼10 mm) in in vitro imaging and high spatial resolution of blood vessel (∼0.19 mm) in in vivo imaging were detected clearly with weak autofluorescence, demonstrating that probes can be used as excellent NIR biosensors.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has begun to play a remarkable role in various fields of science and technology. In biomedical applications, nanoparticles have opened new horizons, especially for biosensing, targeted delivery of therapeutics, and so forth. Among drug delivery systems (DDSs), smart nanocarriers that respond to specific stimuli in their environment represent a growing field. Nanoplatforms that can be activated by an external application of light can be used for a wide variety of photoactivated therapies, especially light-triggered DDSs, relying on photoisomerization, photo-cross-linking/un-cross-linking, photoreduction, and so forth. In addition, light activation has potential in photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, radiotherapy, protected delivery of bioactive moieties, anticancer drug delivery systems, and theranostics (i.e., real-time monitoring and tracking combined with a therapeutic action to different diseases sites and organs). Combinations of these approaches can lead to enhanced and synergistic therapies, employing light as a trigger or for activation. Nonlinear light absorption mechanisms such as two-photon absorption and photon upconversion have been employed in the design of light-responsive DDSs. The integration of a light stimulus into dual/multiresponsive nanocarriers can provide spatiotemporal controlled delivery and release of therapeutic agents, targeted and controlled nanosystems, combined delivery of two or more agents, their on-demand release under specific conditions, and so forth. Overall, light-activated nanomedicines and DDSs are expected to provide more effective therapies against serious diseases such as cancers, inflammation, infections, and cardiovascular disease with reduced side effects and will open new doors toward the treatment of patients worldwide.

Abstract
Applications of hydrophobic drug-based nanocarriers (NCs) remain largely limited because of their low loading capacity. Here, development of a multifunctional hybrid NC made of a magnetic Fe3O4 core and a mesoporous silica shell embedded with carbon dots (CDs) and paclitaxel (PTX), and covered by another layer of silica is reported. The NC is prepared via a one-pot process under mild condition. The PTX loading method introduced in this study simplifies drug loading process and demonstrates a high loading capacity due to mesoporous silica dual-shell structure, supramolecular π-stacking between conjugated rings of PTX molecules, and aromatic rings of the CDs in the hybrid NC. The CDs serve as both confocal and two-photon fluorescence imaging probes, while the Fe3O4 core serves as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent. Significantly, NC releases PTX in response to near infrared irradiation as a result of local heating of the embedded CDs and the heating of CDs also provides an additional therapeutic effect by thermally killing cancer cells in tumor in addition to the chemotherapeutic effect of released PTX. Both in vitro and in vivo results show that NC demonstrates high therapeutic efficacy through a synergistic effect from the combined chemo-photothermal treatments.

Abstract
Targeted delivery of therapeutic agents is an important way to improve the therapeutic index and reduce side effects. To design nanoparticles for targeted delivery, both enhanced tumor tissue accumulation/retention and enhanced cellular internalization should be considered simultaneously. So far, there have been very few nanoparticles with immutable structures that can achieve this goal efficiently. Hierarchical targeting, a novel targeting strategy based on stimuli responsiveness, shows good potential to enhance both tumor tissue accumulation/retention and cellular internalization. Here, the recent design and development of hierarchical targeting nanoplatforms, based on changeable particle sizes, switchable surface charges and activatable surface ligands, will be introduced. In general, the targeting moieties in these nanoplatforms are not activated during blood circulation for efficient tumor tissue accumulation, but re-activated by certain internal or external stimuli in the tumor microenvironment for enhanced cellular internalization.

Abstract
Tellurium-containing photoresponsive polyelectrolyte multilayer films were fabricated by layer-by-layer assembly of a tellurium-containing polymer, photosensitizer, and poly(styrenesulfonate). The resulting films were investigated by UV/vis spectroscopy, XPS, EPR, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Under visible light, the photosensitizer in the film is excited and transforms triplet oxygen into singlet oxygen in aqueous solution. Singlet oxygen oxidizes -Te- to high valence state (Te═O) on the polymer backbone. The generated (Te═O) group makes the micelles more hydrophilic and looser, thereby facilitating the controlled release of the loaded cargo of micelles. These results show that the film has the potential to be used for cargo loading and controlled release, thus may provide a new way to combine photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
We developed a sensor for the detection of specific microRNA (miRNA) sequences that was based on graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and ssDNA-UCNP@SiO2. The proposed sensor exploits the interaction between the sp(2) carbon atoms of the GQD, mainly π-π stacking, and the DNA nucleobases anchored on the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). This interaction brings the GQD to the surface of the ssDNA-UCNP@SiO2 system, enhancing the upconversion emission. On the other hand, hybridization of the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) chains anchored on the nanoparticles with their complementary miRNA sequences blocks the capacity of the UCNPs to interact with the GQD through π-π stacking. That gives as result a reduction of the fluorescent enhancement, which is dependent on the concentration of miRNA sequences. This effect was used to create a sensor for miRNA sequences with a detection limit of 10 fM.

Abstract
A new facile approach, namely chemical-assisted sol-gel growth (CASGG), was successfully developed to induce the formation of fine CaF2:Yb3+, Tm3+ nanocrytals within the pore channels of mesoporous silica (mSiO2) nanoparticles. A series of upconversion photoluminescent crystalline CaF2:Yb3+,Tm3+@mSiO2 nanospheres with controlled diameters from ~65 nm to ~290 nm were fabricated. All nanospheres presented sound cyto-compatibility and unique ratiometric spectral monitoring functionalities for drug release kinetics. The nanospheres with smallest dimension (UCNP-2.5, ~65nm) induced the most sustained DOX release kinetics. More importantly, the in-vitro study demonstrated that the DOX loaded UCNP-2.5 nanopheres presented the strongest anti-cancer efficacy to MCF-7 human breast cancer cells due to its stronger penetration ability to cell nuclei due to the size effect.

Abstract
Despite tremendous progress in chemotherapy, drug resistance remains a major challenge for anticancer treatment. The combinations of chemo-photothermal and chemo-chemo treatments have been reported to be potential solutions to overcome drug resistance. In this study, we developed a dual-in-dual synergistic therapy based on the use of dual anticancer drug-loaded graphene oxide (GO) stabilized with poloxamer 188 for generating heat and delivering drugs to kill cancer cells under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. The nanocomparable system is stable and uniform in size, generating sufficient heat to induce cell death. Dual drugs (doxorubicin and irinotecan)-loaded GO (GO-DI) in combination with laser irradiation caused higher cytotoxicity than that caused by the administration of a free single drug as well as a combination of drugs and blank GO in various cancer cells, especially in MDA-MB-231 resistant breast cancer cells. Exposure to "hot" NIR and GO-DI activated the intrinsic apoptosis pathway, which was confirmed based on changes in the morphology of cell nuclei and overexpression of apoptosis-related proteins. On the basis of the results, the combined treatment showed a synergistic effect compared to the effect of chemotherapy or photothermal treatment alone, demonstrating higher therapeutic efficacy to overcome one of the most severe problem in anticancer therapy, that of intrinsic resistance to chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Newly designed microcapsules (MC) combining a core of solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) and a mesoporous silica shell have been developed and explored as oral delivery system of curcumin (CU). CU-loaded MC (MC-CU) are 2 μm sized and have a mesoporous silica shell of 0.3 μm thickness with a wormlike structure as characterized by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), nitrogen adsorption/desorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. It was found that SLN acts as reservoir of curcumin while the mesoporous shell insures the protection and the controlled release of the drug. MC-CU displayed a pH-dependent in vitro release profile with marked drug retention at pH 2.8. Neutral red uptake assay together with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) showed a good cell tolerance to MC-CU at relatively high concentration of inert materials. Besides, the cell-uptake test revealed that fluorescent-MC were well internalized into Caco-2 cells, confirming the possibility to use MC for gut cells targeting. These findings suggest that organic core-silica shell microcapsules are promising drug delivery systems with enhanced bioavailability for poorly soluble drugs.
