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
Host-guest supramolecular self-assembly has become one facile but efficient way to regulate the optical properties of conjugated oligomers and construct promising photofunctional materials. Herein, we design two linear conjugated oligomers terminated with two or four pyridinium moieties, which show different 1:1 'head-to-tail' binding patterns with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) to form host-guest supramolecules. After being encapsulated in the hydrophobic cavity of the CB[8] host, the fluorescence emission of the conjugated oligomers undergoes significant changes, resulting in tunable fluorescence color with enhanced quantum yields. Triggered by the aggregation of supramolecules, the regular or rigid binding modes lead to the formation of cuboids and spheroids in nanoscale, respectively. Due to the macrocyclic-confinement effect, the light-driven reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of the host-guest complex is increased significantly, thereby improving the photodynamic antibacterial performance toward Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).

Abstract
The potential to target anticancer drugs directly to cancer cells is the most difficult challenge in the current scenario. Progressive works are being done on multifarious receptors and are on the horizon, expected to facilitate tailored treatment for cancer. Among several receptors, one is the sialic acid (SA) receptor by which cancer cells can be targeted directly as hyper sialylation is one of the most distinguishing characteristics of cancer cells. SA receptors have shown tremendous potential for tumor targeting because of their elevated expression in a range of human malignancies including prostate, breast, gastric cells, myeloid leukemia, liver, etc. This article reviews the overexpression of SA receptors in various tumors and diverse strategies for targeting these receptors to deliver drugs, enzymes, and genes for therapeutic applications. It also summarizes the diagnostic applications of SA-grafted nanoparticles for imaging various SA-overexpressing cancer cells and technological advances that are propelling sialic acid to the forefront of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cell culture-based technologies are widely utilized in various domains such as drug evaluation, toxicity assessment, vaccine and biopharmaceutical development, reproductive technology, and regenerative medicine. It has been demonstrated that pre-adsorption of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins including collagen, laminin and fibronectin provide more degrees of support for cell adhesion. The purpose of cell imprinting is to imitate the natural topography of cell membranes by gels or polymers to create a reliable environment for the regulation of cell function. The results of recent studies show that cell imprinting is a tool to guide the behavior of cultured cells by controlling their adhesive interactions with surfaces. Therefore, in this review we aim to compare different cell cultures with the imprinting method and discuss different cell imprinting applications in regenerative medicine, personalized medicine, disease modeling, and cell therapy.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:44238-44249.

Abstract
N-Acetylneuraminic acid and its α2,3/α2,6-glycosidic linkages with galactose (Neu5Ac-Gal) are major carbohydrate antigen epitopes expressed in various pathological processes, such as cancer, influenza, and SARS-CoV-2. We here report a strategy for the synthesis and binding investigation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) toward α2,3 and α2,6 conformations of Neu5Ac-Gal antigens. Hydrophilic imprinted monoliths were synthesized from melamine monomer in the presence of four different templates, namely, N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), N-acetylneuraminic acid methyl ester (Neu5Ac-M), 3'-sialyllactose (3SL), and 6'-sialyllactose (6SL), in a tertiary solvent mixture at temperatures varying from -20 to +80 °C. The MIPs prepared at cryotemperatures showed a preferential affinity for the α2,6 linkage sequence of 6SL, with an imprinting factor of 2.21, whereas the α2,3 linkage sequence of 3SL resulted in nonspecific binding to the polymer scaffold. The preferable affinity for the α2,6 conformation of Neu5Ac-Gal was evident also when challenged by a mixture of other mono- and disaccharides in an aqueous test mixture. The use of saturation transfer difference nuclear magnetic resonance (STD-NMR) on suspensions of crushed monoliths allowed for directional interactions between the α2,3/α2,6 linkage sequences on their corresponding MIPs to be revealed. The Neu5Ac epitope, containing acetyl and polyalcohol moieties, was the major contributor to the sequence recognition for Neu5Ac(α2,6)Gal(β1,4)Glc, whereas contributions from the Gal and Glc segments were substantially lower.

Abstract
It is of great importance to have sensitive and accurate detection of cis-diol-containing biologically related substances because of their important functions in the research fields of metabolomics, glycomics, and proteomics. Boronic acids can specifically and reversibly interact with 1,2- or 1,3-diols to form five or six cyclic esters. Based on this unique property, boronic acid-based materials have been used as synthetic receptors for the specific recognition and detection of cis-diol-containing species. This review critically summarizes the recent advances with boronic acid-based materials as recognition elements and signal labels for the detection of cis-diol-containing biological species, including ribonucleic acids, glycans, glycoproteins, bacteria, exosomes, and tumor cells. We also address the challenges and future perspectives for developing versatile boronic acid-based materials with various promising applications.

Abstract
Simultaneous diagnostics and targeted therapy provide a theranostic approach, an instrument of personalized medicine-one of the most-promising trends in current medicine. Except for the appropriate drug used during the treatment, a strong focus is put on the development of effective drug carriers. Among the various materials applied in the production of drug carriers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are one of the candidates with great potential for use in theranostics. MIP properties such as chemical and thermal stability, together with capability to integrate with other materials are important in the case of diagnostics and therapy. Moreover, the MIP specificity, which is important for targeted drug delivery and bioimaging of particular cells, is a result of the preparation process, conducted in the presence of the template molecule, which often is the same as the target compound. This review focused on the application of MIPs in theranostics. As a an introduction, the current trends in theranostics are described prior to the characterization of the concept of molecular imprinting technology. Next, a detailed discussion of the construction strategies of MIPs for diagnostics and therapy according to targeting and theranostic approaches is provided. Finally, frontiers and future prospects are presented, stating the direction for further development of this class of materials.

Abstract
The applications of fluorescence imaging in tumor detection and assistance in tumor resection have become progressively more widespread. Biocompatible fluorescent nanoparticles with high sensitivity and selectivity are a challenge for biological fluorescence imaging. Ligand-mediated targeting of nanoparticles to tumors is an appealing tactic for improving imaging efficiency. Herein, tetraphenyl ethylene (TPE) and phenylboronic acid (PBA) were introduced into polyurethane to synthesize a PU-TPE-PBA (PTP) fluorescent emulsion with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) for targeted tumor imaging. The PTP emulsion with a size of less than 50 nm shows excellent stability and high fluorescence sensitivity (extremely low TPE concentrations of 0.31 μg mL-1). Since PBA can selectively recognize and bind to sialic acid (SA) which is widely overexpressed in tumor cells, such PTP nanoparticles can be enriched in tumors and retained for longer periods due to enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) as well as active targeting effects. In addition, the PTP emulsion exhibits good biocompatibility and biosafety. Therefore, the novel PTP emulsion is promising for tumor cell imaging.

Abstract
A novel conjugated polymer PCZBTA-TBZ containing thiabendazole as recognition unit was synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction, and its structural characterization, spectroscopic analysis and photophysical properties were investigated. In the metal ion response study, the addition of Cu2+ led to the occurrence of the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism, which significantly quenched the fluorescence of the polymer PCZBTA-TBZ with a quenching effect of 98%. Furthermore, I- can significantly quench the fluorescence of the polymer, but other anions have no such effect. According to the density functional theory calculation, compared with other polycarbazoles or other alternative copolymers containing carbazole, with alternating carbazole and triazole enhances the electron mobility and reduces the energy band gap of the polymer. Due to the strong coordination ability between Cu2+ and Cys, the adding Cys competes the Cu2+ in the [PCZBTA-TBZ-Cu2+] complex, blocking the occurrence of PET, and the fluorescence intensity of PCZBTA-TBZ is restored. The addition of other amino acids caused almost no change. The polymer is expected to be used for dual fluorescence detection of specific metal ions and Cys.

Abstract
The review aims to summarize recent reports of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and discuss their applications in biomedicine. In the past few decades, MIPs have been proven to show widespread applications as new molecular recognition materials. The development of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials has successfully endowed MIPs with not only affinity properties comparable to those of natural antibodies but also the ability to respond to external stimuli (stimuli-responsive MIPs). In this review, we will discuss the synthesis of MIPs, the classification of stimuli-responsive MIP nanomaterials (MIP-NMs), their dynamic mechanisms, and their applications in biomedicine, including bioanalysis and diagnosis, biological imaging, drug delivery, disease intervention, and others. This review mainly focuses on studies of smart MIP-NMs with biomedical perspectives after 2015. We believe that this review will be helpful for the further exploration of stimuli-responsive MIP-NMs and contribute to expanding their practical applications especially in biomedicine in the near future.

Abstract
Sialyl-Tn (STn or sialyl-Thomsen-nouveau) is a carbohydrate antigen expressed by more than 80% of human carcinomas. We here report a strategy for ratiometric STn detection and dual-color cancer cell labeling, particularly, by molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). Imprinting was based on spectroscopic studies of a urea-containing green-fluorescent monomer 1 and STn-Thr-Na (sodium salt of Neu5Acα2-6GalNAcα-O-Thr). A few-nanometer-thin green-fluorescent polymer shell, in which STn-Thr-Na was imprinted with 1, other comonomers, and a cross-linker, was synthesized from the surface of red-emissive carbon nanodot (R-CND)-doped silica nanoparticles, resulting in dual fluorescent STn-MIPs. Dual-color labeling of cancer cells was achieved since both red and green emissions were detected in two separate channels of the microscope and an improved accuracy was obtained in comparison with single-signal MIPs. The flow cytometric cell analysis showed that the binding of STn-MIPs was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than that of non-imprinted polymer (NIP) control particles within the same cell line, allowing to distinguish populations. Based on the modularity of the luminescent core-fluorescent MIP shell architecture, the concept can be transferred in a straightforward manner to other target analytes.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting technology (MIT) produces artificial binding sites with precise complementarity to substrates and thereby is capable of exquisite molecular recognition. Over five decades of evolution, it is predicted that the resulting host imprinted materials will overtake natural receptors for research and application purposes, but in practice, this has not yet been realized due to the unsustainability of their life cycles (i.e., precursors, creation, use, recycling, and end-of-life). To address this issue, greenificated molecularly imprinted polymers (GMIPs) are a new class of plastic antibodies that have approached sustainability by following one or more of the greenification principles, while also demonstrating more far-reaching applications compared to their natural counterparts. In this review, the most recent developments in the delicate design and advanced application of GMIPs in six fast-growing and emerging fields are surveyed, namely biomedicine/therapy, catalysis, energy harvesting/storage, nanoparticle detection, gas sensing/adsorption, and environmental remediation. In addition, their distinct features are highlighted, and the optimal means to utilize these features for attaining incredibly far-reaching applications are discussed. Importantly, the obscure technical challenges of the greenificated MIT are revealed, and conceivable solutions are offered. Lastly, several perspectives on future research directions are proposed.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are important markers for cancer diagnosis and monitoring. However, CTCs detection remains challenging due to their scarcity, where most of the detection methods are compromised by the loss of CTCs in pre-enrichment, and by the lack of universal antibodies for capturing different kinds of cancer cells. Herein, we report a single-chain based nano lock (SCNL) polymer incorporating dually stimulative dynamic ligands that can bind with a broad spectrum of cancer cells and CTCs overexpressing sialic acid (SA) with high sensitivity and selectivity. The high sensitivity is realized by the polymeric single chain structure and the multi-valent functional moieties, which improve the accessibility and binding stability between the target cells and the SCNL. The highly selective targeting of cancer cells is achieved by the dynamic and dually stimulative nano lock structures, which can be unlocked and functionalized upon simultaneous exposure to overexpressed SA and acidic microenvironment. We applied the SCNL to detecting cancer cells and CTCs in clinical samples, where the detection threshold of SCNL reached 4 cells/mL. Besides CTCs enumeration, the SCNL approach could also be extended to metastasis assessment through monitoring the expressing level of surface SA on cancer cells.

Abstract
The detection and elimination of antibiotic contaminants, such as oxytetracycline (OTC), a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, would be of help in efficient environmental monitoring, agriculture and food safety tests. Nevertheless, currently available methodologies, which mostly rely on the chromatographic separation of OTC, suffer from low sensitivity and complicated processes. Thus, we report here on the design and synthesis of a fluorescent sensor based on molecularly imprinted magnetic halloysite nanotubes (referred to as MHNTs@FMIPs) for the effective detection and purification of OTC in actual environmental samples. The fluorescence of the MHNTs@FMIPs was quenched obviously upon loading with OTC, covering a linear concentration range of 10-300 nM with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 8.1 nM. The imprinting factor is 4.47, indicating an excellent specificity. Furthermore, the MHNTs@FMIPs can be applied to the quantitative detection of OTC (5 cycles of 300 nM) in aquaculture wastewater and Yangtze River water, demonstrating their immense application potential.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been widely used in nanomedicine in the last few years. However, their potential is limited by their intrinsic properties resulting, for instance, in lack of control in drug release processes or complex detection for in vivo imaging. Recent attempts in creating hybrid nanomaterials combining MIPs with inorganic nanomaterials succeeded in providing a wide range of new interesting properties suitable for nanomedicine. Through this review, we aim to illustrate how hybrid molecularly imprinted polymers may improve patient care with enhanced imaging, treatments, and a combination of both.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting (MI) is a technique that creates a template of a molecule for improving complementary binding sites in terms of size and shape to a peptide, protein, bacteria, mammalian cell, or virus on soft materials (such as polymers, hydrogels, or self-assembled materials). MI has been widely investigated for over 90 years in various industries but is now focused on improved tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery, sensors, diagnostics, therapeutics and other medical applications. Molecular targets that have been studied so far in MI include those for the major antigenic determinants of microorganisms (like bacteria or viruses) leading to innovations in disease diagnosis via solid-phase extraction separation and biomimetic sensors. As such, although not widely investigated yet, MI demonstrates much promise for improving the detection of and treatment for the current Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-2019) pandemic as well as future pandemics. In this manner, this review will introduce the numerous applications of MI polymers, particularly using proteins and peptides, and how these MI polymers can be used as improved diagnostic and therapeutic tools for COVID-19.

Abstract
Sialic acid (SA) plays important roles in various biological and pathological processes. Methods for monitoring and detection of SA are of great significance in terms of fundamental research, cancer diagnostics, and therapeutics, which are still limited until now. Here, a phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized pyrene derivative, 4-(4-(pyren-1-yl)butyramido)phenylboronic acid (Py-PBA), was synthesized and used as a building block for self-assembling into hydrophilic nanorods. The Py-PBA nanorods (Py-PBA NRs) featured highly specific and efficient imaging of SA on living cells with the advantages of excellent fluorescence stability, good biocompatibility, and unique two-photon fluorescence properties. Meanwhile, the assembled Py-PBA NRs could efficiently generate 1O2 under two-photon irradiation, making it an excellent candidate for photodynamic therapy. This nanoplatform realized in situ recognition and two-photon imaging of SA on the cell surface as well as effective cancer cell therapy, providing a potential method for simple and selective analysis of SA in living cells and a new prospect for image-guided therapy.

Abstract
Sialylations are post-translational modifications of proteins and lipids that play important roles in many cellular events, including cell-cell interactions, proliferation, and migration. Tumor cells express high levels of sialic acid (SA), which are often associated with the increased invasive potential in clinical tumors, correlating with poor prognosis. To overcome the lack of natural SA-receptors, such as antibodies and lectins with high enough specificity and sensitivity, we have used molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), or “plastic antibodies”, as nanoprobes. Because high expression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) in primary tumors is often associated with proliferation and a more aggressive phenotype, the expression of EpCAM and CD44 was initially analyzed. The SA-MIPs were used for the detection of SA on the cell surface of breast cancer cells. Lectins that specifically bind to the a-2,3 SA and a-2,6 SA variants were used for analysis of SA expression, with both flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Here we show a correlation of EpCAM and SA expression when using the SA-MIPs for detection of SA. We also demonstrate the binding pattern of the SA-MIPs on the breast cancer cell lines using confocal microscopy. Pre-incubation of the SA-MIPs with SA-derivatives as inhibitors could reduce the binding of the SA-MIPs to the tumor cells, indicating the specificity of the SA-MIPs. In conclusion, the SA-MIPs may be a new powerful tool in the diagnostic analysis of breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are chemically synthesized affinity materials with tailor-made binding cavities complementary to the template molecules in shape, size, and functionality. Recently, engineering MIP-based nanomedicines to improve cancer therapy has become a rapidly growing field and future research direction. Because of the unique properties and functions of MIPs, MIP-based nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) are not only alternatives to current nanomaterials for cancer therapy, but also hold the potential to fill gaps associated with biological ligand-based nanomedicines, such as immunogenicity, stability, applicability, and economic viability. Here, we survey recent advances in the design and fabrication of nanoMIPs for cancer therapy and highlight their distinct features. In addition, how to use these features to achieve desired performance, including extended circulation, active targeting, controlled drug release and anti-tumor efficacy, is discussed and summarized. We expect that this minireview will inspire more advanced studies in MIP-based nanomedicines for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Fluorescent conjugated polymers (CPs) have attracted considerable interest in biosensing owing to their high fluorescence, tunable bandgap, and good biocompatibility. Aiming at acquiring the desired optical responses of CPs for bioapplications, it is essential that the CPs bind to biological targets with high efficacy and affinity. However, the efficient binding of CPs is largely driven by their effective interaction with target surfaces. In this Review, we will focus on the different surface interactions that pervade between CPs and biological targets. The multiple surface interactions can lead to changes in spatial conformation and distribution of CPs, which manifest alterable optical properties of CPs based on accumulation of target-directed CPs, Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism, and metal-enhanced fluorescence mechanism. Then, we display diverse bioapplications applying CPs-based surface interactions, such as cell imaging, imaging-guided detection, and photodynamic therapy. Finally, the challenges and future developments to control the efficient attachment of CPs to biological targets are discussed. We expect that the understanding of surface interactions between CPs and biological targets benefits the CPs-based system design and expands their applications in biological detections and therapies.

Abstract
Tissue Engineering (TE) represents a promising solution to fabricate engineered constructs able to restore tissue damage after implantation. In the classic TE approach, biomaterials are used alongside growth factors to create a scaffolding structure that supports cells during the construct maturation. A current challenge in TE is the creation of engineered constructs able to mimic the complex microenvironment found in the natural tissue, so as to promote and guide cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. In this context, the introduction inside the scaffold of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)—synthetic receptors able to reversibly bind to biomolecules—holds great promise to enhance the scaffold-cell interaction. In this review, we analyze the main strategies that have been used for MIP design and fabrication with a particular focus on biomedical research. Furthermore, to highlight the potential of MIPs for scaffold-based TE, we present recent examples on how MIPs have been used in TE to introduce biophysical cues as well as for drug delivery and sequestering.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are designed to mimic the specific binding principle of enzymes to substrates or antigens to antibodies, while holding several advantages such as structure predictability, recognition specificity, easy preparation, low cost, high physical robustness, and thermal stability. Therefore, they have been widely applied in many fields including sample preparation (pretreatment), sensing analysis (chemo/biosensors), biomedicine, and environment/food analysis. To date, several strategies were developed for MIPs preparation, aiming to simplify the preparation process and/or improve the properties of the polymers, greatly broadening its usability. The exploration in various advanced imprinting strategies and their combinational use has become a research hotspot in MIPs preparation, among which the fragment imprinting strategy and the dummy template imprinting strategy are especially favored. Fragment imprinting, also called segment imprinting, uses a partial structure of the target molecule as a pseudo-template to prepare MIPs. This strategy is useful to target molecules that are not easy to obtain or that are too large to be used as templates, providing a feasible method for imprinting target analytes that are easy to inactivate or infect, as well as macromolecules that are difficult to imprint. In turn, dummy template imprinting uses molecules with structure, shape, and size similar to the target analytes as templates for imprinting. Because the target is not directly used as a template, this strategy can overcome problems of template leakage, as well as solve target molecule-related difficulties as they can be expensive, infectious, flammable, explosive, or chemically instable. This mini-review compiles information of several articles published in the last four years across ACS, Elsevier, RSC, and other databases, summarizing the most recent advances in the application of fragment/dummy template MIPs (FMIPs/DMIPs). Herein, the biomedical application of FMIPs is mainly addressed as a strategy for the detection of proteins and microorganisms, and the application of FMIPs in the field of food analysis is also explored. In recent years, the imprinting of mammalian cells has made some progress in the application of FMIPs. Mammalian cells, especially cancer cells, overexpress some proteins and sugars, which are good fragment templates. Consequently, the fragment imprinting strategy is widely used in cancer cell imaging, localization, and treatment. Moreover, due to the complicated structure and easy inactivation of some proteins, their MIPs are often prepared by fragment imprinting (also called epitope imprinting). As some microorganisms are infectious, imprinting microorganisms directly can pose a risk; therefore it is safer to also use the fragment imprinting strategy in such cases. The recent application of fragment imprinting strategy in other areas remains scarce. Nonetheless, three studies in the food analysis have explored this possibility. DMIPs are widely used in sample pretreatment and sensing analysis, and they are mainly used as SPE adsorbents for packed SPE, dispersive SPE (DSPE), magnetic SPE (MSPE), and matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction. In addition, DMIPs are employed as molecularly imprinted membrane materials. As a result, by virtue of DMIPs, selective extraction and enrichment of target analytes from complicated samples can be achieved. MIP-based sensors can either recognize or transduce, meaning that they can specifically recognize and bind target analytes as well as generate output signals for detection. Because of the high selectivity of MIPs, the use of a dummy template imprinting strategy solves the problem of template leakage in the process of recognition and adsorption, further improving the detection accuracy and sensitivity of the sensor. These features expand the application range of MIP-based sensors. This review briefly overviews the construction and application of chemiluminescence and fluorescence sensors based on DMIPs. Lastly, the advantages and disadvantages, differences, and relationships among the two strategies are summarized. Despite of their potential, four main challenges still remain as major setbacks for the application of FMIPs and DMIPs: (i) the difficulty to select or prepare appropriate fragment templates and dummy templates; (ii) how to ensure that there is almost no difference in the recognition adsorption selectivity between the fragment/dummy template and the original template, so as to ensure optimal recognition specificity; (iii) the use of, environment-friendly reagents to reduce pollution during FMIPs/DMIPs preparation and use to conform with green chemistry requirements; (iv) how to strengthen the industrial and commercial applications of FMIPs and DMIPs. Therefore, significant efforts should be made to develop new imprinting strategies and techniques, as well as to adopt combinational imprinting approaches for FMIPs/DMIPs preparation to expedite the sustainable development and efficient application of FMIPs and DMIPs.

Abstract
It is difficult for drug delivery systems to release drugs as expected, often leading to undesired side effects. To solve this problem, a CuS@MSN/DOX@MnO2@membrane (CMDMm) was reasonably designed. It was introduced to release the drug by a double response, similar to using two keys to open two locks at the same time for one door. CuS@MSN was used as a photothermal therapy (PTT) material and carrier, and then the surface of CuS@MSN/DOX was sealed by MnO2 to prevent drug release in advance. MnO2 could be reduced and degraded in a tumor microenvironment. It was applied in MR imaging due to the T1 magnetism of Mn2+ following the reduction of MnO2. Finally, the 4T1 cell membrane was extracted and coated onto the surface of CuS@MSN/DOX@MnO2, which served as a target for 4T1 tumor cells. A noteworthy phenomenon was that the fluorescence of DOX was quenched by the coordination between DOX and CuS, and this greatly improved the interaction between DOX and CuS@MSN. However, the coordination was weakened when DOX was protonated in a tumor microenvironment (∼pH 5.0), leading to the release of DOX and fluorescence recovery. The drug release experiments showed that the release efficiency was higher at pH 5.0 with 10 mmol L-1 GSH. Through in vitro laser confocal imaging, it was successfully observed that DOX was reliably released in specific tumor cells according to the fluorescence recovery, and that there was no leakage in other cells. In short, effective double response drug release was successfully confirmed.

Abstract
In this work, a sialic acid (SA)-imprinted thermo-responsive hydrogel layer was prepared for selective capture and release of cancer cells. The SA-imprinting process was performed at 37 °C using thermo-responsive functional monomer, thus generating switchable SA-recognition sites with potent SA binding at 37 °C and weak binding at a lower temperature (e.g., 25 °C). Since SA is often overexpressed at the glycan terminals of cell membrane proteins or lipids, the SA-imprinted hydrogel layer could be used for selective cancer cell recognition. Our results confirmed that the hydrogel layer could efficiently capture cancer cells from not only the culture medium but also the real blood samples. In addition, the captured cells could be non-invasively released by lowing the temperature. Considering the non-invasive processing mode, considerable capture efficiency, good cell selectivity, as well as the more stable and durable SA-imprinted sites compared to natural antibodies or receptors, this thermo-responsive hydrogel layer could be used as a promising and general platform for cell-based cancer diagnosis. Thermo-responsive sialic acid (SA)-imprinted hydrogel layer was prepared. The hydrogel layer could efficiently and selective capture cancer cells at 37 °C. The captured cancer cells could be released at a lower temperature (e.g., 25 °C). The hydrogel layer could be used for capture and release cancer cells from blood.

Abstract
MIL-based molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized through a simple and versatile stirring auxiliary encapsulation method. MIP as a carrier has been applied to the highly efficient selective recognition and sustained release of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). The adsorption mechanism and release behavior of MIP@DOX in vitro were also discussed. Adsorption studies showed that MIP using DOX as template had specific selectivity to DOX, and its optimal drug loading efficiency reached 97.99%. The adsorption isotherm accorded with Freundlich models. The cumulative release curve showed that at the conditions of pH 5.5 and 7.4, the nanomaterials have a slow-release effect on the release of DOX. In addition, the cytotoxicity and bioactivity of MIP nanoparticles on HepG2 and HL-7702 cell lines measured by MTT assay also proved their low toxicity and biological activity. The cell activity of HepG2 and HL-7702 incubated with MIP for 24 h was 69.9% and 76.07%, respectively. These results collectively illustrated that the MIP nano-materials synthesized in this study can be efficiently employed to the drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer type worldwide and breast cancer metastasis accounts for the majority of breast cancer-related deaths. Tumour cells produce increased levels of sialic acid (SA) that terminates the monosaccharide on glycan chains of the glycosylated proteins. SA can contribute to cellular recognition, cancer invasiveness and increase the metastatic potential of cancer cells. SA-templated molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been proposed as promising reporters for specific targeting of cancer cells when deployed in nanoparticle format. The sialic acid-molecularly imprinted polymers (SA-MIPs), which use SA for the generation of binding sites through which the nanoparticles can target and stain breast cancer cells, opens new strategies for efficient diagnostic tools. This study aims at monitoring the effects of SA-MIPs on morphology and motility of the epithelial type MCF-7 and the highly metastatic MDAMB231 breast cancer cell lines, using digital holographic cytometry (DHC). DHC is a label-free technique that is used in cell morphology studies of e.g., cell volume, area and thickness as well as in motility studies. Here, we show that MCF-7 cells move slower than MDAMB231 cells. We also show that SA-MIPs have an effect on cell morphology, motility and viability of both cell lines. In conclusion, by using DH microscopy, we could detect SA-MIPs impact on different breast cancer cells regarding morphology and motility.

Abstract
AbstractThe specific interactions responsible for molecular recognition play a crucial role in the fundamental functions of biological systems. Mimicking these interactions remains one of the overriding challenges for advances in both fundamental research in biochemistry and applications in material science. However, current molecular recognition systems based on host–guest supramolecular chemistry rely on familiar platforms (e.g., cyclodextrins, crown ethers, cucurbiturils, calixarenes, etc.) for orienting functionality. These platforms limit the opportunity for diversification of function, especially considering the vast demands in modern material science. Rational design of novel receptor-like systems for both biological and chemical recognition is important for the development of diverse functional materials. In this review, we focus on recent progress in chemically designed molecular recognition and their applications in material science. After a brief introduction to representative strategies, we describe selected advances in these emerging fields. The developed functional materials with dynamic properties including molecular assembly, enzyme-like and bio-recognition abilities are highlighted. We have also selected materials with dynamic properties in contract to traditional supramolecular host–guest systems. Finally, the current limitations and some future trends of these systems are discussed.

Abstract
Medical diagnostics aims at specific localization of molecular targets as well as detection of abnormalities associated with numerous diseases. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) represent an approach of creating a synthetic material exhibiting selective recognition properties toward the desired template. The fabricated target-specific MIPs are usually well reproducible, economically efficient, and stable under critical conditions as compared to routinely used biorecognition elements such as fluorescent proteins, antibodies, enzymes, or aptamers and can even be created to those targets for which no antibodies are available. In this review, we summarize the methods of polymer fabrication. Further, we provide key for selection of the core material with imaging function depending on the imaging modality used.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic receptors with tailor-made recognition sites for target molecules. Their high affinity and selectivity, excellent stability, easy preparation, and low cost make them promising substitutes to biological receptors in many applications where molecular recognition is important. In particular, spherical MIP nanoparticles (or nanoMIPs) with diameters typically below 200 nm have drawn great attention because of their high surface-area-to-volume ratio, easy removal of templates, rapid binding kinetics, good dispersion and handling ability, undemanding functionalization and surface modification, and their high compatibility with various nanodevices and in vivo biomedical applications. Recent years have witnessed significant progress made in the preparation of advanced functional nanoMIPs, which has eventually led to the rapid expansion of the MIP applications from the traditional separation and catalysis fields to the burgeoning biomedical areas. Here, a comprehensive overview of key recent advances made in the preparation of nanoMIPs and their important biomedical applications (including immunoassays, drug delivery, bioimaging, and biomimetic nanomedicine) is presented. The pros and cons of each synthetic strategy for nanoMIPs and their biomedical applications are discussed and the present challenges and future perspectives of the biomedical applications of nanoMIPs are also highlighted.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients suffer from severe pain due to the serious systemic side effects and low efficiency of chemotherapeutic drugs, and it is important to develop novel drug delivery systems to circumvent these issues. In this study, a series of galactose-based glycopolymers, poly(N-(prop-2-enoyl)-β-d-galactopyranosylamine)-b-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (pGal(OH)-b-pNIPAA), were prepared through a sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH)-mediated removal of acetyl groups. Hydrophilic doxorubicin hydrochloride was introduced to undergo collaborative assembly with poly(N-(prop-2-enoyl)-β-d-peracetylated galactosamine)-b-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (pGal(Ac)-b-pNIPAA) via TBAOH treatment. pGal-b-pNIPAA/doxorubicin (DOX) delivery nanoparticles (GND NPs) formed by collaborative assembly were fully characterized by NMR, TEM and FT-IR, indicating the well-controlled formation of particles with uniform size and high efficiency in terms of drug loading and encapsulation compared with conventional adsorption methods. Meanwhile, the GND NPs were observed to be rapidly disintegrated under acidic conditions and resulted in an increased release of DOX. Cellular experiments showed that pGal-b-pNIPAA/DOX is apparently an asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR)-mediated target of HCC, resulting in enhanced cellular uptake to HepG2 cells and anti-tumor efficacy in vitro. Furthermore, GND NPs III exerted more sustainable and effective anti-tumor effects compared to free DOX on a transgenic zebrafish TO(KrasG12V) model in vivo. These results indicated that the biocompatible nanomaterials developed by collaborative assembly with galactosyl diblock glycopolymers and DOX may serve as a promising candidates for targeting therapy of HCC.

Abstract
Since their conception 50 years ago, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have seen extensive development both in terms of synthetic routes and applications. Cells are perhaps the most challenging target for molecular imprinting. Although early work was based almost entirely around microprinting methods, recent developments have shifted towards epitope imprinting to generate MIP nanoparticles (NPs). Simultaneously, the development of techniques such as solid phase MIP synthesis has solved many historic issues of MIP production. This review briefly describes various approaches used in cell imprinting with a focus on applications of the created materials in imaging, drug delivery, diagnostics, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Targeting is vital for precise positioning and efficient therapy, and integrated platforms for diagnosis and therapy have attracted more and more attention. Herein, we established dual-template molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) coated fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) by using the linear peptide of the extracellular region of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) and adopting doxorubicin (DOX) as templates for targeted imaging and targeted therapy. Benefiting from the epitope imprinting approach, the imprinted sites generated by peptides on the MIP surface can be employed for recognizing the corresponding protein, which allowed the MIP to specifically and actively target HER2-positive breast cancer cells. Because of its ability to identify breast cancer cells, the MIP was applied for targeted fluorescence imaging by taking advantage of the excellent fluorescence properties of Si NPs, and the DOX-loaded MIP (MIP@DOX) can act as a therapeutic probe to effectively target and kill breast cancer cells. In fluorescence images, the targeting of the MIP promoted more uptake of the nanoparticles by cells than the non-imprinted polymer (NIP), so HER2-positive breast cancer cells incubated with the MIP exhibited stronger fluorescence, and there was no significant difference in fluorescence when HER2-negative cells and normal cells were respectively hatched with the MIP and NIP. Importantly, the cell viability was evaluated to demonstrate targeted accumulation and therapy of MIP@DOX for breast cancer cells. The nanoplatform for diagnosis and therapy combined the high sensitivity of fluorescence with the high selectivity of the molecular imprinting technique, which holds vital potential in targeted imaging and targeted therapy in vitro.

[PMID: 30948047 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.02.096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 93] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2018] [Revised: 02/25/2019] [Accepted: 02/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Naturally occurring bioactive compounds are gaining much importance as anti-tumor agents in recent times due to their high therapeutic potential and less systemic toxicity. However, different preclinical and clinical studies have noted significant shortcomings, such as nonspecific tumor targeting and low bioavailability which limit their usage in therapeutics. Therefore, a safe and compatible nanoparticle mediated controlled drug delivery system is in high demand to enable effective transport of the drug candidates in the tumor tissue. Herein, we have synthesized phenylboronic acid (PBA) conjugated Zinc oxide nanoparticles (PBA-ZnO), loaded with quercetin (a bioflavonoid widely found in plants), with zeta potential around -10.2 mV and diameter below 40 nm. Presence of PBA moieties over the nanoparticle surface facilitates targeted delivery of quercetin to the sialic acid over-expressed cancer cells. Moreover, Quercetin loaded PBA-ZnO nanoparticles (denoted as PBA-ZnO-Q) showed pH responsive drug release behavior. Results suggested that PBA-ZnO-Q induced apoptotic cell death in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) via enhanced oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. In line with the in vitro results, PBA-ZnO-Q was found to be effective in reducing tumor growth in EAC tumor bearing mice. Most interestingly, PBA-ZnO-Q is found to reduce tumor associated toxicity in liver, kidney and spleen. The cytotoxic potential of the nanohybrid is attributed to the combinatorial cytotoxic effects of quercetin and ZnO in the cancer cells. Overall, the presented data highlighted the chemotherapeutic potential of the novel nanohybrid, PBA-ZnO-Q which can be considered for clinical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Sialic acids (SAs) often exist as the terminal sugars of glycans of either glycoproteins or glycolipids on the cell surface and thus are directly involved in biological processes, such as cell-cell, cell-ligand, and cell-pathogen interactions. Cell surface SA expression levels and their linkages are collectively termed cell surface sialylation status, which represent varying cellular states and contribute to the overall functionality of a cell. Accordingly, systemic and specific profiling of the cell surface sialyation status is critical in deciphering the structures and functions of cell surface glycoconjugates and the molecular mechanisms of their underlying biological processes. In recent decades, several advanced chemical biology approaches have been developed to profile the cell surface sialyation status of both in vitro and in vivo samples, including metabolic labeling, direct chemical modification, and boronic acid coupling approaches. Various investigative technologies have also been explored for their unique competence, including fluorescent imaging, flow cytometry, Raman imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization imaging mass spectrometry. In particular, the sialylation status of a specific glycoprotein on the cell surface has been investigated. This review highlights the recent advancements in chemical biology approaches for profiling cell surface sialyation status. It is expected that this review will provide researchers different choices for both biological and biomedical research and applications.
