Abstract
D-mannose is widely used as non-antibiotic treatment for bacterial urinary tract infections. This application is based on a well-studied mechanism of binding to the type 1 bacterial pili and, therefore, blocking bacteria adhesion to the uroepithelial cells. To implement D-mannose into carrier systems, the mechanism of action of the sugar in the bladder environment is also relevant and requires investigation. Herein, two different MANNosylation strategies using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are described. The impact of different chemical linkers on bacterial adhesion and bladder cell response is studied via confocal microscopy imaging of the MSN interactions with the respective organisms. Cytotoxicity is assessed and the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and caveolin-1 (CAV-1), in the presence or absence of simulated infection with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is evaluated using the human urinary bladder cancer cell line T24. Further, localisation of the transcription factor NF-κB due to the MANNosylated materials is examined over time. The results show that MANNosylation modifies bacterial adhesion to the nanomaterials and significantly affects TLR4, caveolin-1, and NF-κB in bladder cells. These elements are essential components of the inflammatory cascade/pathogens response during urinary tract infections. These findings demonstrate that MANNosylation is a versatile tool to design hybrid nanocarriers for targeted biomedical applications.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles hosting guest molecules are a versatile tool with applications in various fields such as life and environmental sciences. Current commonly applied pore blocking strategies are not universally applicable and are often not robust enough to withstand harsh ambient conditions (e.g. geothermal). In this work, a titania layer is utilized as a robust pore blocker, with a test-case where it is used for the encapsulation of fluorescent dyes. The layer is formed by a hydrolysis process of a titania precursor in an adapted microemulsion system and demonstrates effective protection of both the dye payload and the silica core from disintegration under otherwise damaging external conditions. The produced dye-MSN@TiO2 particles are characterized by means of electron microscopy, elemental mapping, ζ-potential, X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy - Total Attenuated Reflectance (FT-IR ATR). Finally, the performance of the titania-encapsulated MSNs is demonstrated in long-term aqueous stability and in flow-through experiments, where owing to improved dispersion encapsulated dye results in improved flow properties compared to free dye properties. This behavior exemplifies the potential advantage of carrier-borne marker molecules over free dye molecules in applications where accessibility or targeting are a factor, thus this encapsulation method increases the variety of fields of application.

Abstract
The problem of tumour therapy has attracted the attention of many researchers for many decades. One of the promising strategies for the development of new dosage forms to improve oncology treatment efficacy and minimise side effects is the development of nanoparticle-based targeted transport systems for anticancer drugs. Among inorganic nanoparticles, mesoporous silica deserves special attention due to its outstanding surface properties and drug-loading capability. This review analyses the various factors affecting the cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and biocompatibility of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), constituting a key aspect in the development of safe and effective drug delivery systems. Special attention is paid to technological approaches to chemically modifying MSNs to alter their surface properties. The stimuli that regulate drug release from nanoparticles are also discussed, contributing to the effective control of the delivery process in the body. The findings emphasise the importance of modifying MSNs with different surface functional groups, bio-recognisable molecules, and polymers for their potential use in anticancer drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), as novel nanocarriers for drug delivery in cancer treatment, have attracted widespread concern because of their rich pore structure, large pore capacity, ease of modification, and biocompatibility. However, the limitation of nontargeting and low uptake efficiency hindered their further application. Considering the overexpression of the transferrin receptor (TfR) on most cancer cell membranes, herein, we propose a strategy to effectively enhance the cellular internalization of MSNs by arming them with the TfR aptamer. Cellular fluorescent imaging and flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that TfR aptamer-functionalized MSNs exhibited superior cellular internalization compared to unmodified or random sequence-modified MSNs toward three different cancer cell lines, including MCF-7, HeLa, and A549. Furthermore, TfR aptamer-functionalized MSNs displayed enhanced drug delivery efficiency compared with MSNs at equivalent doses and incubation times. These results suggested that TfR aptamer-functionalized MSNs have the potential for enhanced delivery of therapeutic agents into TfR-positive cancer cells to improve therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Searching for an effective pore-enlarging agent to form mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) with a creative surface frame is of great importance. Herein, several polymers were attempted to be pore-enlarging agents to form seven types of worm mesoporous silica nanoparticles (W-MSN) and analgesic indometacin that exerted functions on inflammatory diseases (breast disease, arthrophlogosis, etc.) was studied to enhance its delivery efficiency. The porous morphology differences between MSN and W-MSN were that MSN had independent mesopores while the enlarged mesopores of W-MSN were interrelated and shaped as a worm. Among all these W-MSN, WG-MSN templated by hydroxypropyl cellulose acetate succinate HG with the highest drug-loading capacity (24.78%), shortest loading time (10 h), drug dissolution improvement of almost 4 times compared to that of the raw drug, and highest bioavailability (5.48 times higher than that of raw drug and 1.52 times higher than that of MSN) was an outstanding drug carrier and can shoulder the mission to deliver drugs with high efficiency.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The use of immobilized enzyme-type biocatalysts to mimic specific processes in soil can be considered one of the most promising alternatives to overcome the difficulties behind the structural elucidation of riverine humic-derived iron-complexes. Herein, we propose that the immobilization of the functional mushroom tyrosinase, Agaricus bisporus Polyphenol Oxidase 4 (AbPPO4) on mesoporous SBA-15-type silica could contribute to the study of small aquatic humic ligands such as phenols. EXPERIMENTS The silica support was functionalized with amino-groups in order to investigate the impact of surface charge on the tyrosinase loading efficiency as well as on the catalytic performance of adsorbed AbPPO4. The oxidation of various phenols was catalyzed by the AbPPO4-loaded bioconjugates, yielding high levels of conversion and confirming the retention of enzyme activity after immobilization. The structures of the oxidized products were elucidated by integrating chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. We also evaluated the stability of the immobilized enzyme over a wide range of pH values, temperatures, storage-times and sequential catalytic cycles. FINDINGS This is the first report where the latent AbPPO4 is confined within silica mesopores. The improved catalytic performance of the adsorbed AbPPO4 shows the potential use of these silica-based mesoporous biocatalysts for the preparation of a column-type bioreactor for in situ identification of soil samples.

Abstract
The carboxylic chemical group is a ubiquitous moiety present in amino acids, a ligand for transition metals, a colloidal stabilizer, and a weak acidic ion-exchanger in polymeric resins and given this property, it is attractive for responsive materials or nanopore-based gating applications. As the number of uses increases, subtle requirements are imposed on this molecular group when anchored to various platforms for the functioning of an integrated chemical system. In this context, silica stands as an inert and multipurpose platform that enables the anchoring of multiple chemical entities combined through several orthogonal synthesis methods on the interface. Surface chemical modification relies on the use of organoalkoxysilanes that must meet the demand of tuned chemical properties; this, in turn, urges for innovative approaches for having an improved, but simple, organic toolbox. Starting from commonly available molecular precursors, several approaches have emerged: hydrosilylation, click thiol-ene additions, the use of carbodiimides or the reaction between cyclic anhydrides and anchored amines. In this review, we analyze the importance of the COOH groups in the area of materials science and the commercial availability of COOH-based silanes and present new approaches for obtaining COOH-based organoalkoxide precursors. Undoubtedly, this will attract widespread interest for the ultimate design of highly integrated chemical platforms.

Abstract
Nature offers a wide range of evolutionary optimized materials that combine unique properties with intrinsic biocompatibility and that can be exploited as biomimetic materials. The R5 and RRIL peptides employed here are derived from silaffin proteins that play a crucial role in the biomineralization of marine diatom silica shells and are also able to form silica materials in vitro. Here, we demonstrate the application of biomimetic silica particles as a vaccine delivery and adjuvant platform by linking the precipitating peptides R5 and the RRIL motif to a variety of peptide antigens. The resulting antigen-loaded silica particles combine the advantages of biomaterial-based vaccines with the proven intracellular uptake of silica particles. These particles induce NETosis in human neutrophils as well as IL-6 and TNF-α secretion in murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells.

Abstract
Senescence is a major inductive factor of aging-related diseases in connection with an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, it is important to maintain ROS at an appropriate level to keep homeostasis in organisms. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a vital enzyme in defending against oxidative damage in vivo. Because of the defects in the direct application of SOD and SOD mimics, mounting delivery systems have been developed for the efficient applications of SOD to realize antioxidant treatment. Among these systems, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been widely studied because of various advantages such as desirable stability, low toxicity, and adjustable particle sizes. Herein, SOD was immobilized on MSNs using a physical absorption strategy to construct the nanosystem SOD@MSN. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) was selected as the model organism for the subsequent antioxidant and anti-aging studies. The research results suggested the nanosystem could not only be effectively internalized by C. elegans but could also protect the nematode against external stress, thus extending the lifespan and healthspan of C. elegans. Therefore, SOD@MSN could be applied as a promising medicine in anti-aging therapeutics.

Abstract
To answer questions surrounding the sustainability of silica production, MilliporeSigma's DOZN 2.0 Green Chemistry Evaluator was employed as it provides quantitative values based on the 12 principles of Green Chemistry. As a first study using DOZN 2.0 to evaluate the greenness of nanomaterials, a range of silica types were considered and their greenness scores compared. These included low- and high-value silicas, both commercial and emerging, such as precipitated, gel, fumed, colloidal, mesoporous, and bioinspired silicas. When surveying these different types of silicas, it became clear that while low value silicas have excellent greenness scores, high-value silicas perform poorly on this scale. This highlighted the tension between high-value silicas that are desired for emerging markets and the sustainability of their synthesis. The calculations were able to quantify the issues pertaining to the energy-intensive reactions and subsequent removal of soft templates for the sol-gel processes. The importance of avoiding problematic solvents during processes and particularly releasing them as waste was identified. The calculations were also able to compare the amount of waste generated as well as their hazardous nature. The effects of synthesis conditions on greenness scores were also investigated in order to better understand the relationship between the production process and their sustainability.

Mesoporous Silica-Based Nanoparticles as Non-Viral Gene Delivery Platform for Treating Retinitis Pigmentosa. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11082170. [PMID: 35456263 PMCID: PMC9026300 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11082170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 04/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene therapy is a therapeutic possibility for retinitis pigmentosa (RP), in which therapeutic transgenes are currently delivered to the retina by adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs). Although their safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in both clinical and preclinical settings, AAVs present some technical handicaps, such as limited cargo capacity and possible immunogenicity in repetitive doses. The development of alternative, non-viral delivery platforms like nanoparticles is of great interest to extend the application of gene therapy for RP. METHODS Amino-functionalized mesoporous silica-based nanoparticles (N-MSiNPs) were synthesized, physico-chemically characterized, and evaluated as gene delivery systems for human cells in vitro and for retinal cells in vivo. Transgene expression was evaluated by WB and immunofluorescence. The safety evaluation of mice subjected to subretinal injection was assessed by ophthalmological tests (electroretinogram, funduscopy, tomography, and optokinetic test). RESULTS N-MSiNPs delivered transgenes to human cells in vitro and to retinal cells in vivo. No adverse effects were detected for the integrity of the retinal tissue or the visual function of treated eyes. N-MSiNPs were able to deliver a therapeutic transgene candidate for RP, PRPF31, both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS N-MSiNPs are safe for retinal delivery and thus a potential alternative to viral vectors.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of a hybrid nanocatalyst obtained through the immobilization of bio-inspired [{Mn(bpy)(H2O)}(µ-2-MeC6H4COO)2(µ-O){Mn(bpy)(NO3)}]NO3 compound into functionalized, monodispersed, mesoporous silica nanoparticles. The in situ dual functionalization sol–gel strategy adopted here leads to the synthesis of raspberry-shaped silica nanoparticles of ca. 72 nm with a large open porosity with preferential localization of 1,4-pyridine within the pores and sulfobetaine zwitterion on the nanoparticles’ periphery. These nano-objects exhibit improved catalase-mimicking activity in water thanks to the encapsulation/immobilization of the catalytic active complex and high colloidal stability in water, as demonstrated through the dismutation reaction of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
Stem cell (SC)-based therapies hold the potential to revolutionize therapeutics by enhancing the body's natural repair processes. Currently, there are only three SC therapies with marketing authorization within the European Union. To optimize outcomes, it is important to understand the biodistribution and behavior of transplanted SCs in vivo. A variety of imaging agents have been developed to trace SCs; however, they mostly lack the ability to simultaneously monitor the SC function and biodistribution at high resolutions. Here, we report the synthesis and application of a nanoparticle (NP) construct consisting of a gold NP core coated with rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC)-doped mesoporous silica (AuMS). The MS layer further contained a thiol-modified internal surface and an amine-modified external surface for dye conjugation. Highly fluorescent AuMS of three different sizes were successfully synthesized. The NPs were non-toxic and efficiently taken up by limbal epithelial SCs (LESCs). We further showed that we can functionalize AuMS with a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive fluorescent dye using two methods, loading the probe into the mesopores, with or without additional capping by a lipid bilayer, and by covalent attachment to surface and/or mesoporous-functionalized thiol groups. All four formulations displayed a ROS concentration-dependent increase in fluorescence. Further, in an ex vivo SC transplantation model, a combination of optical coherence tomography and fluorescence microscopy was used to synergistically identify AuMS-labeled LESC distribution at micrometer resolution. Our AuMS constructs allow for multimodal imaging and simultaneous ROS sensing of SCs and represent a promising tool for in vivo SC tracing.

Abstract
The immunosensor has been proven a versatile tool to detect various analytes, such as food contaminants, pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics and biomarkers related to cancer. To fabricate robust and reproducible immunosensors with high sensitivity, the covalent immobilization of immunoglobulins (IgGs) in a site-specific manner contributes to better performance. Instead of the random IgG orientations result from the direct yet non-selective immobilization techniques, this review for the first time introduces the advances of stepwise yet site-selective conjugation strategies to give better biosensing efficiency. Noncovalently adsorbing IgGs is the first but decisive step to interact specifically with the Fc fragment, then following covalent conjugate can fix this uniform and antigens-favorable orientation irreversibly. In this review, we first categorized this stepwise strategy into two parts based on the different noncovalent interactions, namely adhesive layer-mediated interaction onto homofunctional support and layer-free interaction onto heterofunctional support (which displays several different functionalities on its surface that are capable to interact with IgGs). Further, the influence of ligands characteristics (synthesis strategies, spacer requirements and matrices selection) on the heterofunctional support has also been discussed. Finally, conclusions and future perspectives for the real-world application of stepwise covalent conjugation are discussed. This review provides more insights into the fabrication of high-efficiency immunosensor, and special attention has been devoted to the well-orientation of full-length IgGs onto the sensing platform.

Our contributions to mesoporous silica materials in the field of biomedicine are reported in this article. This perspective article represents our work in the basics of the material, preparing different ranges of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with different diameters and with varied pore sizes. We demonstrated the high loading capacity of these materials. Additionally, the possibility of functionalizing both internal and external surface with different organic or inorganic moieties allowed the development of stimuli-responsive features which allowed a proper control on the administered dose. In addition, we have demonstrated that these carriers are not toxic, and we have also ensured that the load reaches its destination without affecting healthy tissues. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This paper presents my personal opinion and background on a hot topic as mesoporous silica nanoparticles for drug delivery.

Abstract
Self-assembly processes guide disordered molecules or particles into long-range organized structures due to specific supramolecular interactions among the building entities. Herein, we report a unique evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) strategy for four different silica nanoparticle systems obtained through peptide functionalization of the particle surface. First, covalent peptide-silica coupling was investigated in detail, starting with the grafting of a single amino acid (L-serine) and expanded to specific small peptides (up to four amino acids) and transferred to different particle types (MCM-48-type MSNs, solid nanoparticles, and newly developed virus-like nanoparticles). These materials were investigated regarding their ability to undergo EISA, which was shown to be independent of particle type and amount of peptide anchored to their surface. This EISA-based approach provides new possibilities for the design of future advanced drug delivery systems, engineered hierarchical sorbents, and nanocatalyst assemblies.

Abstract
Public awareness of infectious diseases has increased in recent months, not only due to the current COVID-19 outbreak but also because of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) being declared a top-10 global health threat by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019. These global issues have spiked the realization that new and more efficient methods and approaches are urgently required to efficiently combat and overcome the failures in the diagnosis and therapy of infectious disease. This holds true not only for current diseases, but we should also have enough readiness to fight the unforeseen diseases so as to avoid future pandemics. A paradigm shift is needed, not only in infection treatment, but also diagnostic practices, to overcome the potential failures associated with early diagnosis stages, leading to unnecessary and inefficient treatments, while simultaneously promoting AMR. With the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials fabricated as multifunctional nano-platforms for antibacterial therapeutics, diagnostics, or both (known as "theranostics") have attracted increasing attention. In the research field of nanomedicine, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) with a tailored structure, large surface area, high loading capacity, abundant chemical versatility, and acceptable biocompatibility, have shown great potential to integrate the desired functions for diagnosis of bacterial infections. The focus of this review is to present the advances in mesoporous materials in the form of nanoparticles (NPs) or composites that can easily and flexibly accommodate dual or multifunctional capabilities of separation, identification and tracking performed during the diagnosis of infectious diseases together with the inspiring NP designs in diagnosis of bacterial infections.

High Surface Area Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles with Tunable Size in the Sub-Micrometer Regime: Insights on the Size and Porosity Control Mechanisms. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26144247.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanostructures (MSNs) attract high interest due to their unique and tunable physical chemical features, including high specific surface area and large pore volume, that hold a great potential in a variety of fields, i.e., adsorption, catalysis, and biomedicine. An essential feature for biomedical application of MSNs is limiting MSN size in the sub-micrometer regime to control uptake and cell viability. However, careful size tuning in such a regime remains still challenging. We aim to tackling this issue by developing two synthetic procedures for MSN size modulation, performed in homogenous aqueous/ethanol solution or two-phase aqueous/ethyl acetate system. Both approaches make use of tetraethyl orthosilicate as precursor, in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, as structure-directing agent, and NaOH, as base-catalyst. NaOH catalyzed syntheses usually require high temperature (>80 °C) and large reaction medium volume to trigger MSN formation and limit aggregation. Here, a successful modulation of MSNs size from 40 up to 150 nm is demonstrated to be achieved by purposely balancing synthesis conditions, being able, in addition, to keep reaction temperature not higher than 50 °C (30 °C and 50 °C, respectively) and reaction mixture volume low. Through a comprehensive and in-depth systematic morphological and structural investigation, the mechanism and kinetics that sustain the control of MSNs size in such low dimensional regime are defined, highlighting that modulation of size and pores of the structures are mainly mediated by base concentration, reaction time and temperature and ageing, for the homogenous phase approach, and by temperature for the two-phase synthesis. Finally, an in vitro study is performed on bEnd.3 cells to investigate on the cytotoxicity of the MNSs.

Circumventing Drug Treatment? Intrinsic Lethal Effects of Polyethyleneimine (PEI)-Functionalized Nanoparticles on Glioblastoma Cells Cultured in Stem Cell Conditions. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13112631.

Abstract
Simple Summary Glioblastoma (GB) is the most frequent brain cancer that is highly difficult to treat. As with many cancer types, associated cancer stem cells can act as a reservoir of cancer-initiating cells, constituting a major hurdle for successful therapy. Herein, we report on a discovery of the intrinsic capability of polyethyleneimine-functionalized nanoparticles (PEI-NPs) to selectively eradicate glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), contrary to current drug-based approaches to target and successfully eradicate GB. Already at negligible doses, PEI-NPs, without any anticancer therapeutic, very potently killed multiple GSC lines but not GB cells without stem cell characteristics. Moreover, PEI-NPs was observed in tumors in mice after both intravenous and intranasal administration, where the latter constitute a non-invasive administration route for drug delivery to the brain. These results, in turn, suggest that PEI-NPs can successfully cross the blood-brain barrier for the eradication of GSCs even without any anticancer drug, whereas the same NP platform can also be used for drug delivery thus opening up potential to reach synergistic therapeutic effects. This highly surprising intrinsic effect of the NP system on both the mechanistic action and specificity of GSC eradication puts forward a promising novel aspect of nanoparticles in medicine. Abstract Glioblastoma (GB) is the most frequent malignant tumor originating from the central nervous system. Despite breakthroughs in treatment modalities for other cancer types, GB remains largely irremediable due to the high degree of intratumoral heterogeneity, infiltrative growth, and intrinsic resistance towards multiple treatments. A sub-population of GB cells, glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), act as a reservoir of cancer-initiating cells and consequently, constitute a significant challenge for successful therapy. In this study, we discovered that PEI surface-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PEI-MSNs), without any anti-cancer drug, very potently kill multiple GSC lines cultured in stem cell conditions. Very importantly, PEI-MSNs did not affect the survival of established GB cells, nor other types of cancer cells cultured in serum-containing medium, even at 25 times higher doses. PEI-MSNs did not induce any signs of apoptosis or autophagy. Instead, as a potential explanation for their lethality under stem cell culture conditions, we demonstrate that the internalized PEI-MSNs accumulated inside lysosomes, subsequently causing a rupture of the lysosomal membranes. We also demonstrate blood–brain-barrier (BBB) permeability of the PEI-MSNs in vitro and in vivo. Taking together the recent indications for the vulnerability of GSCs for lysosomal targeting and the lethality of the PEI-MSNs on GSCs cultured under stem cell culture conditions, the results enforce in vivo testing of the therapeutic impact of PEI-functionalized nanoparticles in faithful preclinical GB models.

Abstract
The typical method for minimizing serum protein adsorption in biological settings and prolonging blood circulation time of nanoparticles, is to anchor hydrophilic polymers (e.g., poly(ethylene glycol), PEG) on the particle surface, which is most often done by covalent attachment (PEGylation). Herein, different PEGylation methods were realised and compared to functionalize mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). First, reactive groups were installed using post-grafting procedures with different functional silanes. Further, PEGs carrying a functional group and having different chain lengths and termini, were used. The grafting efficacy as well as the structural and physicochemical characteristics of the resulting particles were determined. Finally, the serum protein adsorption behaviour of these functionalized particles was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis. The type of selected coupling method was shown to strongly influence the grafting efficiency as well as the resulting protein adsorption. The results highlight the importance of the right choice of the linking chemistry when aiming at surface functionalization of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, in parallel to the rise of ordered mesoporous silica, porous nanostructured polymer-silica composites have attracted the interest of material scientists due to their promising perspectives of application as sorbents, ion-exchangers, supports, and catalysts. While knowledge is available regarding their synthesis and applications, understanding and controlling their pore properties in order to rationalize their performances remain challenging tasks. Greater knowledge is therefore needed regarding their precise characterization, especially using gas adsorption. To this aim, mesoporous polymer-silica nanocomposites were synthesized from two ordered mesoporous silica materials using a pore-surface restricted polymerization technique. Hydrophobic polystyrene, PS, and hydrophilic poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), PHEMA, were specifically confined and polymerized in the pores of high-quality SBA-15 and KIT-6 silicas of different pore sizes. The physico-chemical characteristics of the resulting hybrid materials were probed in detail using gas physisorption at cryogenic temperatures (Ar at 87 K and N2 at 77 K). The polymer loadings and the interactions between the silica host and the polymer were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis coupled with differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The effects of the pore structure, mode pore size and presence or absence of intra-wall pores in the silica hosts on the final composite characteristics were assessed as a function of the polymer type and loading. Two different polymer filling mechanisms were identified as a function of the polymer-silica interactions, resulting in important changes on the pore topology of the composites. The results of this study allow a better understanding of the nature of the confined interactions between hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers and large pore mesoporous silicas and shed some light on fundamental aspects regarding the design of silica-based composites.

Abstract
The outreach of nanoparticle-based medical treatments has been severely hampered due to the imbalance between the efforts in designing extremely complex materials and the general lack of studies devoted to understanding their colloidal stability in biological environments. Over the years, the scientific community has neglected the relevance related to the nanoparticles' colloidal state, which consequently resulted in very poor bench-to-clinic translation. In this work, we show how mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs, one of the most promising and tested drug delivery platforms) can be efficiently synthesized and prepared, resulting in a colloidally stable system. We first compared three distinct methods of template removal of MSNs and evaluated their ultimate colloidal stability. Then, we also proposed a simple way to prevent aggregation during the drying step by adsorbing BSA onto MSNs. The surface modification resulted in colloidally stable particles that are successfully redispersed in biologically relevant medium while retaining high hemocompatibility and low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Nanosystems have shown encouraging outcomes and substantial progress in the areas of drug delivery and biomedical applications. However, the controlled and targeted delivery of drugs or genes can be limited due to their physicochemical and functional properties. In this regard, core-shell type nanoparticles are promising nanocarrier systems for controlled and targeted drug delivery applications. These functional nanoparticles are emerging as a particular class of nanosystems because of their unique advantages, including high surface area, and easy surface modification and functionalization. Such unique advantages can facilitate the use of core-shell nanoparticles for the selective mingling of two or more different functional properties in a single nanosystem to achieve the desired physicochemical properties that are essential for effective targeted drug delivery. Several types of core-shell nanoparticles, such as metallic, magnetic, silica-based, upconversion, and carbon-based core-shell nanoparticles, have been designed and developed for drug delivery applications. Keeping the scope, demand, and challenges in view, the present review explores state-of-the-art developments and advances in core-shell nanoparticle systems, the desired structure-property relationships, newly generated properties, the effects of parameter control, surface modification, and functionalization, and, last but not least, their promising applications in the fields of drug delivery, biomedical applications, and tissue engineering. This review also supports significant future research for developing multi-core and shell-based functional nanosystems to investigate nano-therapies that are needed for advanced, precise, and personalized healthcare systems.

Abstract
Here, we describe the synthesis, characterization and in vitro and in vivo performance of a series of tantalum oxide (TaOx) based nanoparticles (NPs) for computed tomography (CT). Five distinct versions of 9-12 nm diameter silane coated TaOx nanocrystals (NCs) were fabricated by a sol-gel method with varying degrees of hydrophilicity and with or without fluorescence, with the highest reported Ta content to date (78%). Highly hydrophilic NCs were left bare and were evaluated in vivo in mice for micro-CT of full body vasculature, where following intravenous injection, TaOx NCs demonstrate high vascular CT contrast, circulation in blood for ∼3 h, and eventual accumulation in RES organs; and following injection locally in the mammary gland, where the full ductal tree structure can be clearly delineated. Partially hydrophilic NCs were encapsulated within mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs; TaOx@MSNPs) and hydrophobic NCs were encapsulated within poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA; TaOx@PLGA) NPs, serving as potential CT-imagable drug delivery vehicles. Bolus intramuscular injections of TaOx@PLGA NPs and TaOx@MSNPs to mimic the accumulation of NPs at a tumor site produce high signal enhancement in mice. In vitro studies on bare NCs and formulated NPs demonstrate high cytocompatibility and low dissolution of TaOx. This work solidifies that TaOx-based NPs are versatile contrast agents for CT.

Abstract
Physically crosslinked microscale biomembranes synthesized from pure chitosan are designed and demonstrated for pH-triggered release of embedded functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Nanoparticle-loaded membranes are formed in a microfluidic channel at the junction between accurately controlled co-flowing streams to achieve highly tuneable membrane properties. After formation, the loaded membranes remain stable until contact with physiological acidic conditions, resulting in controlled nanoparticle release. Furthermore, nanoparticle-loaded membranes with complex layered architectures are synthesized using different flow schemes, thus enabling customized nanoparticle release profiles. These novel materials are well-suited for integration within small medical devices as well as off-chip applications.

Abstract
In vivo functionalization of diatom biosilica frustules by genetic manipulation requires careful consideration of the overall structure and function of complex fusion proteins. Although we previously had transformed Thalassiosira pseudonana with constructs containing a single domain antibody (sdAb) raised against the Bacillus anthracis Sterne strain, which detected an epitope of the surface layer protein EA1 accessible in lysed spores, we initially were unsuccessful with constructs encoding a similar sdAb that detected an epitope of EA1 accessible in intact spores and vegetative cells. This discrepancy limited the usefulness of the system as an environmental biosensor for B. anthracis. We surmised that to create functional biosilica-localized biosensors with certain constructs, the biosilica targeting and protein trafficking functions of the biosilica-targeting peptide Sil3T8 had to be uncoupled. We found that retaining the ER trafficking sequence at the N-terminus and relocating the Sil3T8 targeting peptide to the C-terminus of the fusion protein resulted in successful detection of EA1 with both sdAbs. Homology modeling of antigen binding by the two sdAbs supported the hypothesis that the rescue of antigen binding in the previously dysfunctional sdAb was due to removal of steric hindrances between the antigen binding loops and the diatom biosilica for that particular sdAb.

Abstract
This work investigated the synthesis of carbohydrate functionalized methylene blue doped amine grafted mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MB AMSN) and their application in bioimaging. A single-pot synthesis methodology was developed via a modified co-condensation sol-gel technique for simultaneous incorporation of the dye molecule in the nanoparticles, with amine grafting for subsequent functionalization. The obtained nanoparticles (∼ 450 nm) are mesoporous and have a high surface area (538 m2/g), pore-volume (0.3 cm3/g), showed excellent UV-vis absorbance, and dye encapsulation efficiency (> 75 %). These fluorescent nanoparticles were further functionalized with carbohydrate molecules before application as contrast agents in bacterial cells. In the present study, gram-positive (E. coli) and gram-negative (B. subtilis) bacteria were used as model organisms. Confocal laser microscopy results showed that the nanoparticles are highly fluorescent, and SEM of glucose conjugated MB doped nanoparticles indicated close interaction with E. coli with no toxicity observed towards either bacterial cells. The results demonstrate that by suitable surface functionalization, the methylene blue doped silica nanoparticles can be used as bioimaging agents.

Abstract
Multifunctionalized materials are expected to be versatile probes to find specific interactions between a ligand and a target biomaterial. Thus, efficient methods to prepare possible combinations of the functionalities is desired. The concept of dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) is ideal for the generation of any possible combination, as well as screening for target biomaterials. Here, we propose a new molecular design of multitopic probes for ligand discovery in DCC. We synthesized a new Gable Porphyrin, GP1, having prop-2-yne groups as a scaffold to introduce various functional groups. GP1 is a bis(imidazolylporphyrinatozinc) compound connected through a 1,3-phenylene moiety, and it gives macrocycles spontaneously and quantitatively by strong imidazole-to-zinc complementary coordination. Some different types of functional groups were introduced into GP1 in high yields. Formation of heterogeneous macrocycles composed of GP1 derivatives having different types of substituents was accomplished under equilibrium conditions. These results promise that enormous numbers of macrocycles having various functional groups can be provided when the kinds of GP components increase. These features are desirable for DCC, and the present system using GP1 is a potential candidate to provide a dynamic combinatorial library of multitopic probes to discover specific interactions between a ligand and a biomaterial.
