Abstract
Living organisms in nature, such as magnetotactic bacteria and eggs, generate various organic-inorganic hybrid materials, providing unique functionalities. Inspired by such natural hybrid materials, researchers can reasonably integrate biomaterials with living organisms either internally or externally to enhance their inherent capabilities and generate new functionalities. Currently, the approaches to enhancing organismal function through biomaterial intervention have undergone rapid development, progressing from the cellular level to the subcellular or multicellular level. In this review, we will concentrate on three key strategies related to biomaterial-guided bioenhancement, including biointerface engineering, artificial organelles, and 3D multicellular immune niches. For biointerface engineering, excess of amino acid residues on the surfaces of cells or viruses enables the assembly of materials to form versatile artificial shells, facilitating vaccine engineering and biological camouflage. Artificial organelles refer to artificial subcellular reactors made of biomaterials that persist in the cytoplasm, which imparts cells with on-demand regulatory ability. Moreover, macroscale biomaterials with spatiotemporal regulation characters enable the local recruitment and aggregation of cells, denoting multicellular niche to enhance crosstalk between cells and antigens. Collectively, harnessing the programmable chemical and biological attributes of biomaterials for organismal function enhancement shows significant potential in forthcoming biomedical applications.

DISCOVER NANO 2023; 18:161.

Abstract
Mutations in nuclear and mitochondrial genes are responsible for severe chronic disorders such as mitochondrial myopathies. Gene therapy using antisense oligonucleotides is a promising strategy to treat mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases by blocking the replication of the mutated mtDNA. However, transport vehicles are needed for intracellular, mitochondria-specific transport of oligonucleotides. Nanoparticle (NP) based vectors such as large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (LP) often rely on surface complexation of oligonucleotides exposing them to nucleases and limiting mitochondria targeting and controlled release ability. In this work, stable, fluorescent, hollow silica nanoparticles (HSN) that encapsulate and protect oligonucleotides in the hollow core were synthesized by a facile one-pot procedure. Both rhodamine B isothiocyanate and bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide were incorporated in the HSN matrix by co-condensation to enable cell tracing, intracellular-specific degradation and controlled oligonucleotide release. We also synthesized LP as a benchmark to compare the oligonucleotide loading and release efficacy of our HSN. Mitochondria targeting was enabled by NP functionalization with cationic, lipophilic Triphenylphosphine (TPP) and, for the first time a fusogenic liposome based carrier, previously reported under the name MITO-Porter. HSN exhibited high oligonucleotide incorporation ratios and release dependent on intracellular degradation. Further, MITO-Porter capping of our NP enabled delayed, glutathione (GSH) responsive oligonucleotide release and mitochondria targeting at the same efficiency as TPP functionalized NP. Overall, our NP are promising vectors for anti-gene therapy of mtDNA disease as well as many other monogenic disorders worldwide.

Abstract
Inspired by natural catalytic compartments, various synthetic compartments that seclude catalytic reactions have been developed to understand complex multistep biosynthetic pathways, bestow therapeutic effects, or extend biosynthetic pathways in living cells. These emerging nanoreactors possessed many advantages over conventional biomedicine, such as good catalytic activity, specificity, and sustainability. In the past decade, a great number of efficient catalytic systems based on diverse nanoreactors (polymer vesicles, liposome, polymer micelles, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, MOFs, etc.) have been designed and employed to initiate in situ catalyzed chemical reactions for therapy. This review aims to present the recent progress in the development of catalytic systems based on nanoreactors for therapeutic applications, with a special emphasis on the principles and design strategies. Besides, the key components of nanoreactor-based catalytic systems, including nanocarriers, triggers or energy inputs, and products, are respectively introduced and discussed in detail. Challenges and prospects in the fabrication of therapeutic catalytic nanoreactors are also discussed as a conclusion to this review. We believe that catalytic nanoreactors will play an increasingly important role in modern biomedicine, with improved therapeutic performance and minimal side effects.

Abstract
Abnormal expression of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) causes Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibiting AChE is a common strategy for reducing the degradation of neurotransmitter acetylcholine, in order to treat early-stage AD. Therefore, it is crucial to screen and explore AChE inhibitors which are safer and cause fewer side effects. Our research is focused on establishing a platform of ruptured organosilica nanocapsules (RONs) immobilized AChE coupled with an MnO2-OPD colorimetric assay, which could monitor AChE activity and screen AChE inhibitors. The fabricated RONs immobilized AChE possessed excellent pH and thermal stability. Huperzine A was introduced into the established platform to evaluate the inhibition kinetics of the immobilized AChE, which promoted its application in the screening of AChE inhibitors. The satisfactory results of enzyme inhibition kinetics proved the feasibility and applicability of the established method. Thus, the proposed platform was applied to screen AChE inhibitors from 14 compounds isolated from Inula macrophylla, and β-cyclocostunolide (compound 4) demonstrated the best AChE inhibitory activity among these compounds. This work confirms the existence of chemical components that inhibit AChE activity in Inula macrophylla, and provides a new idea for the application of immobilized enzyme-nanozyme in the field of enzyme inhibitor screening.

Abstract
Developing a nanotheranostic with a high sensing performance and efficient therapy was significant in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, a Au nanoparticle and hairpin-loaded photosensitive metal-organic framework (PMOF@AuNP/hairpin) nanotheranostic was constructed by growing AuNPs on PMOF in situ and then attaching hairpins. On the one hand, the PMOF@AuNP/hairpin nanotheranostic could effectively transfer O2 into ROS, facilitating efficient PDT. Additionally, the nanotheranostic possessed catalase-like activity, which could effectively catalyze H2O2 to generate O2, thus achieving O2-evolving PDT and significantly enhancing the antitumor effect of PDT in vivo. On the other hand, the nanotheranostic showed a high loading efficiency of hairpins and achieved the sensitive and selective detection of miR-21 both in living cells and in vivo. Moreover, the nanotheranostic could dynamically monitor the miR-21 level. Due to the excellent imaging performance, the nanotheranostic could recognize cancer cells and might provide important information on cancer progression for PDT. The developed PMOF@AuNP/hairpin nanotheranostic provided a useful tool for tumor diagnosis and antitumor therapy.

Abstract
The detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has profound implications in cancer diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring. In this work, we developed a colorimetric immunoassay for the detection of CEA. This assay involves the utilization of zinc(II)-based coordination polymers (ZnCPs) as a host for integrating glucose oxidase (GOx) and anti-carcinoembryonic antigen antibody (anti-CEA), which results in the formation of a detection antibody (anti-CEA/GOx@ZnCPs). The adaptable inclusion properties of ZnCPs enable the preservation of the original catalytic behavior of GOx and antigen capture ability of anti-CEA. Consequently, the anti-CEA/GOx@ZnCPs can act as a detection antibody to facilitate the development of an immunoassay. The combination of anti-CEA/GOx@ZnCPs in the immunoassay triggers a cascade reaction involving GOx and MnO2 nanosheets, leading to the generation of an amplified colorimetric signal through self-supplying oxygen. This colorimetric immunoassay exhibits a linear response ranging from 2 to 180 ng mL-1 CEA and has a detection limit of 50 pg mL-1. The practicality of this colorimetric immunoassay in biological matrices was demonstrated by the successful determination of CEA in serum samples with good recovery and precision. We believe that this study will pave the way to rationally design multifunctional CP-based composites for a wide range of applications in bioanalysis.

Abstract
The design of porous microcapsules with selective mass transfer and mechanical robustness for enzyme encapsulation is highly desired for biocatalysis, yet the construction remains challenging. Herein, we report the facile fabrication of porous microcapsules by assembling covalent organic framework (COF) spheres at the interfaces of emulsion droplets followed by interparticle crosslinking. The COF microcapsules could offer an enclosed aqueous environment for enzymes, with size-selective porous shells that allow for the fast diffusion of substrates and products while excluding larger molecules such as protease. Crosslinking of COF spheres not only enhances the structural stability of capsules but also imparts enrichment effects. The enzymes encased in the COF microcapsules show enhanced activity and durability in organic media as verified in both batch reaction and continuous-flow reaction. The COF microcapsules offer a promising platform for the encapsulation of biomacromolecules.

Abstract
Living organisms compartmentalize their catalytic reactions in membranes for increased efficiency and selectivity. To mimic the organelles of eukaryotic cells, we develop a mild approach for in situ encapsulating enzymes in aqueous-core silica nanocapsules. In order to confine the sol-gel reaction at the water/oil interface of miniemulsion, we introduce an aminosilane to the silica precursors, which serves as both catalyst and an amphiphilic anchor that electrostatically assembles with negatively charged hydrolyzed alkoxysilanes at the interface. The semi-permeable shell protects enzymes from proteolytic attack, and allows the transport of reactants and products. The enzyme-carrying nanocapsules, as synthetic nano-organelles, are able to perform cascade reactions when enveloped in a polymer vesicle, mimicking the hierarchically compartmentalized reactions in eukaryotic cells. This in situ encapsulation approach provides a versatile platform for the delivery of biomacromolecules.

Abstract
The potential of enzyme-encapsulated metal-organic framework (MOF) as an antibody label for the construction of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is demonstrated. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90) was employed as a MOF model to load urease and pig immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody. This leads to the production of U@ZIF-90/IgG composite, in which urease was encapsulated in ZIF-90 to form U@ZIF-90 for amplifying the detection signal, while IgG was anchored on the surface of U@ZIF-90 for specifically recognizing Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Benefiting from the unique porous structure of ZIF-90, the U@ZIF-90 not only allows urease to be encapsulated with an ultrahigh loading efficiency, but also shields the loaded urease against harsh environments. The U@ZIF-90 shows a threefold higher catalytic activity than free urease due to the confinement effect. These findings lead to an ELISA with greatly enhanced sensitivity for S. aureus detection. By using a portable pH meter as a readout, the ELISA has a linear response that covers 10 to 109 CFU/mL S. aureus with a detection limit of 1.96 CFU/mL and exhibits high selectivity over other bacteria. The successful determination of S. aureus in milk samples demonstrates the applicability of the ELISA in a complex biological matrix.

Abstract
The prodrug approach has emerged as a promising solution to combat bacterial resistance and enhance treatment efficacy against bacterial infections. Here, we report an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-activated prodrug system for on-demand treatment of bacterial infection. The prodrug system benefits from the synergistic action of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 and polyacrylamide hydrogel microsphere, which simultaneously transports indole-3-acetic acid and horseradish peroxidase in a single carrier while preventing the premature activation of indole-3-acetic acid. The ATP-responsive characteristic of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 allows the prodrug system to be activated by the ATP secreted by bacteria to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), displaying exceptional broad-spectrum antimicrobial ability. Upon disruption of the bacterial membrane by ROS, the leaked intracellular ATP from dead bacteria can accelerate the activation of the prodrug system to further enhance antibacterial efficiency. In vivo experiments in a mouse model demonstrates the applicability of the prodrug system for wound disinfection with minimal side effects. Prodrugs are increasingly promising in tackling bacterial resistance and efficacy of treatment. Here, the authors encapsulated horseradish peroxidase and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 loaded with indole-3-acetic acid in polyacrylamide hydrogel microspheres for ATP-activated wound disinfection.

Abstract
Tear analysis has become an invaluable asset in clinical research in order to identify and quantify novel biomarkers for a wide array of conditions. The present work is intended to take this area of study one step further by implementing an innovative sensing platform through which exploration of low-molecular-weight compounds is conducted outperforming traditional analytical technologies. With this aim, carefully engineered plasmonic nanoassemblies have been synergistically combined with molecular-sieving materials giving rise to size-selective samplers with SERS detection capabilities. These architectures have been then integrated onto hydrogel-based contact lenses and tested in simulated tear fluids in order to evidence their operational features. Through this approach, a prolonged analyte accumulation can be realized, thus providing a competitive advantage in those scenarios where concentration of biomarkers is typically low or minimum sample volumes are not met. Additionally, quenching of metabolic flux and analyte extraction protocols can be circumvented, hence preventing the intrinsic physical and chemical interferences stemming from these procedures. The obtained results render these sensing platforms as promising medical devices, and constitute a great opportunity in order to expand the clinical toolkit in tear analysis.

Abstract
Although capsule-like materials as host carriers for enzyme encapsulation have been a hot topic in recent years, creating an ideal microenvironment for enhanced enzymatic performance is still a formidable challenge. Herein, we created a template-free method to in situ encapsulate natural enzymes in hollow covalent organic framework (COF) capsules at room temperature. The COF crystallites migrated from the inner core and self-assembled at the outside walls during the inside-out Ostwald ripening process, retaining the enzymes in the cavity. The adjustable hollow structure of the enzyme@COF capsule allowed the basic vibration of the enzyme to maintain a certain degree of freedom, thus significantly enhancing the enzymatic bioactivity. The hollow enzyme@COF capsule has large mesoporous tunnels allowing the efficient transport. In addition, the enzyme encapsulated in the capsule showed superior activity and ultrahigh stability under various extreme conditions that may lead to enzyme inactivation, such as high temperature, organic solvents, chelates, and the denaturing agent. Finally, the prepared hollow GOx@COF capsule was used for electrochemical sensing of glucose in human serum, and the electrochemical sensor exhibited high selectivity and satisfactory test results. This research not only provides a new way for COFs to encapsulate enzymes but also has potential applications in biocatalysis and biosensing, making artificial organelles possible.

Abstract
Introduction Breast cancer has the highest mortality rate among cancers in women. Patients suffering from certain breast cancers, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), lack effective treatments. This represents a clinical concern due to the associated poor prognosis and high mortality. As an approach to succeed over conventional therapy limitations, we present herein the design and evaluation of a novel nanodevice based on enzyme-functionalized gold nanoparticles to efficiently perform enzyme prodrug therapy (EPT) in breast cancer cells. Results In particular, the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) – which oxidizes the prodrug indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) to release toxic oxidative species – is incorporated on gold nanoconjugates (HRP-AuNCs), obtaining an efficient nanoplatform for EPT. The nanodevice is biocompatible and effectively internalized by breast cancer cell lines. Remarkably, co-treatment with HRP-AuNCs and IAA (HRP-AuNCs/IAA) reduces the viability of breast cancer cells below 5%. Interestingly, 3D tumor models (multicellular tumor spheroid-like cultures) co-treated with HRP-AuNCs/IAA exhibit a 74% reduction of cell viability, whereas the free formulated components (HRP, IAA) have no effect. Conclusion Altogether, our results demonstrate that the designed HRP-AuNCs nanoformulation shows a remarkable therapeutic performance. These findings might help to bypass the clinical limitations of current tumor enzyme therapies and advance towards the use of nanoformulations for EPT in breast cancer.

Abstract
Nanocarriers have tremendous potential for the encapsulation, storage and delivery of active compounds. However, current formulations often employ open structures that achieve efficient loading of active agents, but that suffer undesired leakage and instability of the payloads over time. Here, a straightforward strategy that overcomes these issues is presented, in which protein nanogels are encapsulated within single crystals of calcite (CaCO3). Demonstrating our approach with bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanogels loaded with (bio)active compounds, including doxorubicin (a chemotherapeutic drug) and lysozyme (an antibacterial enzyme), we show that these nanogels can be occluded within calcite host crystals at levels of up to 45 vol%. Encapsulated within the dense mineral, the active compounds are stable against harsh conditions such as high temperature and pH, and controlled release can be triggered by a simple reduction of the pH. Comparisons with analogous systems - amorphous calcium carbonate, mesoporous vaterite (CaCO3) polycrystals, and calcite crystals containing polymer vesicles - demonstrate the superior encapsulation performance of the nanogel/calcite system. This opens the door to encapsulating a broad range of existing nanocarrier systems within single crystal hosts for the efficient storage, transport and controlled release of various active guest species.

Abstract
Inspired by the unique biological microenvironments of eukaryotic cells, hollow capsules are promising to immobilize enzymes due to their advantages for physical protection and improved activity of enzymes. Herein, we report a facile method to fabricate silica (SiO2) capsules using zeolitic imidazole framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) as templates for enzyme immobilization and catalysis. Enzyme-encapsulated SiO2 capsules are obtained by encapsulation of enzymes in ZIF-8 NPs and subsequent coating of silica layers, followed by the removal of templates in a mild condition (i.e., ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution). The enzyme (i.e., horseradish peroxidase, HRP) activity in SiO2 capsules is improved more than 15 times compared to that of enzyme-loaded ZIF-8 NPs. Enzymes in SiO2 capsules maintain a high relative activity after being subjected to high temperature, enzymolysis, and recycling compared to free enzymes. In addition, multienzymes (e.g., glucose oxidase and HRP) can also be coencapsulated within SiO2 capsules to show a reaction with a high cascade catalytic efficacy. This work provides a versatile strategy for enzyme immobilization and protection with potential applications in biocatalysis.

Abstract
Enzymes are biological catalysts that have many potential industrial and biomedical applications. However, the widespread use of enzymes in the industry has been limited by their instability and poor recovery. In biomedical applications, systemic administration of enzymes has faced two main challenges: limited bioactivity mostly due to rapid degradation by proteases and immunogenic activity, since most enzymes are from nonhuman sources. Herein, we propose a robust enzyme-encapsulation strategy to mitigate these limitations. Catalase (CAT) was encapsulated in nanoporous silica nanoparticles (CAT-SiNPs) by first chemically modifying the enzyme surface with a silica precursor, followed by silica growth and finally poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) conjugation. The formulation was carried out in mild aqueous conditions and yielded nanoparticles (NPs) with a mean diameter of 230 ± 10 nm and a concentration of 1.3 ± 0.8 × 1012 NPs/mL. CAT-SiNPs demonstrated high enzyme activity, optimal protection from proteolysis by proteinase K and trypsin, and excellent stability over time. In addition, a new electrochemical assay was developed to measure CAT activity in a rapid, simple, and accurate manner without interference from chromophore usually present in biological samples. Concentrations of 2.5 × 1010 to 80 × 1010 CAT-SiNPs/mL not only proved to be nontoxic in cell cultures using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay but also conferred cell protection when cells were exposed to 1 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Finally, the ability of CAT-SiNPs to release oxygen (O2) when exposed to H2O2 was demonstrated in vivo using a rat model. Following the direct injection of CAT-SiNPs in the left kidney, partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) increased by more than 30 mmHg compared to the contralateral control kidney during the systemic infusion of safe levels of H2O2. This pilot study highlights the potential of CAT-SiNPs to generate O2 to relieve hypoxia in tissues and potentially sensitize tumors against radiation therapy.

Abstract
The development of enzyme modules by coupling several enzymes in confinement is of paramount importance to artificial biological reaction systems for efficient enzymatic reactions. Silica nanocapsules are ideal candidates for loading enzymes. Aqueous core silica nanocapsules have relatively been rarely reported due to the crux of difficulty in forming dense silica shells by interfacial sol-gel reactions. Herein we suggest a one-step synthesis of hollow silica nanocapsules with an aqueous core containing enzymes via a template-free and interfacial condensation method for developing enzyme modules with coupled enzymatic reactions. As a proof-of-concept, we developed enzyme modules for three useful purposes by encapsulating a couple of enzymes: (i) development of a miniature glucose sensor, (ii) protection of living cells, and (iii) regeneration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADs). By the modulation of enzymes using silica nanocapsules, more efficient coupled reactions, separation of enzymatic reactions from surroundings, and easy handling of several enzymes by using a single module could be achieved. Therefore, our silica nanocapsules for enzyme modules can be promoted as general platforms for developing artificial nanoreactors.

Abstract
Coordination polymers (CPs) have been extensively investigated for a variety of applications because of their tunable structures and properties. In this work, we demonstrated the potential of catalytic CPs in the fabrication of an integrated multifunctional composite for establishing a cascade amplified immunoassay. For this purpose, an Fe(iii)-based CP (FeCP) with peroxidase-like activity was employed as a model of catalytic CPs to simultaneously integrate glucose oxidase (GOx) and the anti-prostate specific antigen (anti-PSA) antibody through a self-adaptive inclusion process. This leads to the formation of a dual-functional anti-PSA/GOx@FeCP composite with cascade catalytic activity and capture ability to target the antigen. Benefiting from the shielding effect of FeCPs as a host, a significantly improved stability against harsh environments can be achieved for the loaded GOx and anti-PSA antibody in the composite. On this basis, by utilizing anti-PSA/GOx@FeCPs as a detection antibody, a colorimetric immunoassay based on the cascade catalysis of GOx and FeCPs as a signal amplified enhancer was developed for the detection of PSA. Under optimal conditions, satisfactory detection results have been achieved in both buffered aqueous solutions and serum samples. We believe that this study will open up a new avenue for the rational design and fabrication of multifunctional composites while offering a new cascade amplification strategy for PSA detection.

Abstract
In this work, we proposed a new strategy of fabricating time-resolved fluorescent nanoprobes by using an enzyme-integrated lanthanide coordination polymer (CP) composite for the detection of superoxide anions (O2•-). This CP composite was constructed with terbium ions (Tb3+) as a metal node, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a bridge ligand, and carboxyphenylboronic acid (CPBA) as a sensitizer in which superoxide dismutase (SOD) was encapsulated by a self-adaptive inclusion process. The as-prepared SOD@ATP/Tb-CPBA displays both catalytic and fluorescence properties. Benefiting from the shielding effect of ATP/Tb CP, greatly enhanced catalytic activity and stability against harsh environments can be obtained in the loaded SOD. Meanwhile, the loaded SOD can remove the water molecules on the coordination sphere of Tb3+, leading to a significant increase in the fluorescence intensity and lifetime of SOD@ATP/Tb-CPBA. However, upon the addition of O2•-, the fluorescence of SOD@ATP/Tb-CPBA was quenched significantly. This is because SOD can convert O2•- into H2O2 to induce the deboronation of CPBA, resulting in an intramolecular charge transfer process. On this basis, by taking advantage of Tb3+ in long lifetime emission, a time-resolved fluorescence method was developed for the detection of O2•-, and satisfactory results have been achieved in both buffered aqueous solutions and serum samples. We believe that the presented study will open up a new avenue to develop enzyme-involved fluorescent nanoprobes.

Abstract
Polymer-lipid hybrid vesicles are an emerging type of nano-assemblies that show potential as artificial organelles among others. Phospholipids and poly(cholesteryl methacrylate)-block-poly(methionine methacryloyloxyethyl ester (METMA)-random-2-carboxyethyl acrylate (CEA)) labeled with a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) reporter pair are used for the assembly of small and giant hybrid vesicles with homogenous distribution of both building blocks in the membrane as confirmed by the FRET effect. These hybrid vesicles have no inherent cytotoxicity when incubated with HepG2 cells up to 1.1 × 1011 hybrid vesicles per mL, and they are internalized by the cells. In contrast to the fluorescent signal originating from the block copolymer, the fluorescent signal coming from the lipids is barely detectable in cells incubated with hybrid vesicles for 6 h followed by 24 h in cell media, suggesting that the two building blocks have a different intracellular fate. These findings provide important insight into the design criteria of artificial organelles with potential structural integrity.

Abstract
Enzyme-activated prodrug therapy (EAPT) is an effective cancer treatment strategy able to transport non-toxic prodrugs and subsequently convert them into drugs at specific times and locations. However, due to the limitation of easy biodegradability and the membrane-impermeable characteristic of exogenous enzymes, there is a need to exploit suitable carriers for the effective protection and simultaneous delivery of activating enzymes into cancer cells. Herein, hierarchically porous MOFs were employed for the loading of enzyme and prodrug in a single nanocarrier thanks to their different cavity sizes. The simple loading process allows entrapping of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a monocarboxyl-containing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) prodrug with high loading capacities in different spaces, which keeps the catalytic activity of the enzyme perfectly intact and avoids the premature activation of the prodrug. The encapsulated HRP and IAA exhibit sustained and synchronized release behaviors. Compared to the native HRP enzyme, the current MOF nanocarriers not only facilitate enzyme delivery into cellular lysosomes and subsequent endosomal escape, but also effectively release enzyme and prodrug in the intracellular environment within 48 h. Eventually, HRP and IAA loaded MOF nanocarriers cause significant cell death with a low IC50 of 4.2 mg L-1, while the IAA prodrug alone is non-toxic even at high concentrations. Thus, hierarchically porous MOFs might offer a promising platform for EAPT with a highly consistent spatiotemporal distribution of enzymes and prodrugs in target tissues.

Abstract
In this study, controlled synthesis of hollow mesoporous silica nanoreactors with small manganese oxide nanoparticles in their cavities (Mn x O y @HMSNs) is reported, and the dye degradation performance in the presence of hydrogen peroxide over Mn x O y @HMSNs is investigated. Specifically, triple ligands (a compound with three dipicolinic acid groups) were used to coordinate manganese ions to form negatively charged coordination complex networks, which further combine with positively charged copolymers to obtain metal ion-containing polymer micelles. Following silica deposition onto micellar coronas and calcinations simultaneously result in hollow mesoporous silica nanoreactors and manganese oxide nanoparticles in their cavities. In this work, the influences of synthetic parameters on the structures are studied in detail. The obtained Mn x O y @HMSNs show greatly enhanced activity and stability for a series of dye degradations. The performance enhancement is ascribed to their unique nanostructures, where mesoporous silica walls provide protection to the inner Mn x O y nanoparticles and the small size of the manganese oxide nanoparticles greatly enhances the dye degradation activity.

Abstract
In the current report, hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by means of a hard-templating method and further modified with poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) via radical polymerization. Structural analysis, surface spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric characterization confirmed a successful surface modification of HMS nanoparticles. A hairy PSS was clearly visualized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy measurement, and it is grown on the surface of HMS nanoparticles. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and average pore size of HMS nanoparticles were reduced after surface modification because of the pore-blocking effect, which indicated that the PSS lies on the surface of nanoparticles. Nevertheless, the PSS acts as a "nano-gate" to control the release of curcumin which is triggered by pH. The drug-release profile of unmodified HMS nanoparticles showed a stormed release in both pH 7.4 and 5.0 of phosphate buffer saline buffer solution. However, a slow release (9.92% of cumulative release) of curcumin was observed at pH 7.4 when the surface of HMS nanoparticles was modified by PSS. The kinetic release study showed that the curcumin release mechanism from PSS@HMS nanoparticles followed the Ritger-Peppas kinetic model, which is the non-Fickian diffusion. Therefore, the PSS-decorated HMS nanoparticles demonstrate potential for pH-triggered drug release transport.

Abstract
In situ generation of anticancer agents at the place of the disease is a new paradigm for cancer therapy. The production of highly potent drugs by nanoreactors through a facile synthesis pathway is demanded. We report an oncolytic nanoreactor platform loaded with the enzyme glucose oxidase (GOX) to produce hydrogen peroxide. For the first time, we realized a core-shell structure with encapsulated GOX under mild synthetic conditions, which ensured high remaining activity of GOX inside of the nanoreactor. Moreover, the nanoreactor protected the loaded GOX from proteolysis and contributed to increased thermal stability of the enzyme. The nanoreactors were effectively taken up into different cancer cells, in which they produced hydrogen peroxide by consuming intracellular glucose and oxygen, thereby leading to effective death of the cancer cells. In summary, our robust nanoreactors are a promising platform for effective anticancer therapy and sustained enzyme utilization.

Abstract
The entrapment of enzymes in capsules is a smart strategy to concentrate them in confined spaces and control their exposure to outside environments. Enzymes can be caged in the interior of capsules during their formation (preloading) or postloaded within prefabricated and permeable hollow shells. On the other hand, enzymes can also be deposited within the shell or on the surface of the capsules. Each of these strategies has intrinsic limitations, and a common enemy is the undesired desorption of enzymes.Here, we describe the formation of enzyme-loaded polymeric capsules prepared with the Layer-by-Layer method and the template-assisted entrapment of enzymes through coprecipitation (preloading) within calcium carbonate particles, as an example of an efficient preloading strategy, and draw attention at the key parameters that influence this immobilization method.

Abstract
Coordination polymers (CPs) as fascinating materials have been explored in a number of fields due to their diverse properties. In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility of CPs in the facile fabrication of multifunctional composites for establishing an immunoassay. To this end, a zinc(II)-based CP (ZnCP) with adenine as a bridge ligand was employed to integrate with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and anticarcinoembryonic antigen (anti-CEA) antibody, which produces ALP/anti-CEA@ZnCPs. Benefiting from the adaptive inclusion property of ZnCPs, the integrated ALP and anti-CEA can maintain their original catalytic activity and capture ability to target antigen, respectively. This allows the ALP/anti-CEA@ZnCPs to be a detection antibody for performing an immunoassay. Meanwhile, ZnCP as a host can effectively protect the loaded ALP and anti-CEA against harsh environments. On this basis, by using iron(II)-phenanthroline complex as a signal amplifier, a colorimetric immunoassay for CEA detection was developed, and a low detection limit of 21.1 pg/mL has been achieved. This immunoassay was successfully applied to determine CEA levels in serum samples with good recovery and precision. We believe that this study can not only provide a new method for CEA detection but also open up a new way for the rational design and fabrication of multifunctional composites.

Abstract
Protein/antibody therapeutics have exhibited the advantages of high specificity and activity even at an extremely low concentration compared to small molecule drugs. However, they are accompanied by unfavorable physicochemical properties such as fragile tertiary structure, large molecular size, and poor penetration of the membrane, and thus the clinical use of protein drugs is hindered by inefficient delivery of proteins into the host cells. To overcome the challenges associated with protein therapeutics and enhance their biopharmaceutical applications, various protein-loaded nanocarriers with desired functions, such as lipid nanocapsules, polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, and peptides, are developed. In this review, the different strategies for intracellular delivery of proteins are comprehensively summarized. Their designed routes, mechanisms of action, and potential therapeutics in live cells or in vivo are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the perspective on the new generation of delivery systems toward the emerging area of protein-based therapeutics is presented as well.

Abstract
Hollow nanomaterials have attracted a broad interest in multidisciplinary research due to their unique structure and preeminent properties. Owing to the high specific surface area, well-defined active site, delimited void space, and tunable mass transfer rate, hollow nanostructures can serve as excellent catalysts, supports, and reactors for a variety of catalytic applications, including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis, etc. Based on state-of-the-art synthetic methods and characterization techniques, researchers focus on the purposeful functionalization of hollow nanomaterials for catalytic mechanism studies and intricate catalytic reactions. Herein, an overview of current reports with respect to the catalysis of functionalized hollow nanomaterials is given, and they are classified into five types of versatile strategies with a top-down perspective, including textual and composition modification, encapsulation, multishelled construction, anchored single atomic site, and surface molecular engineering. In the detailed case studies, the design and construction of hierarchical hollow catalysts are discussed. Moreover, since hollow structure offers more than two types of spatial-delimited sites, complicated catalytic reactions are elaborated. In summary, functionalized hollow nanomaterials provide an ideal model for the rational design and development of efficient catalysts.

Abstract
Melanoma is malignant skin cancer occurring with increasing prevalence with no effective treatment. A unique feature of melanoma cells is that they require higher concentrations of ltyrosine (l-tyr) for expansion than normal cells. As such, it has been demonstrated that dietary l-tyr restriction lowers systemic l-tyr and suppresses melanoma advancement in mice. Unfortunately, this diet is not well tolerated by humans. An alternative approach to impede melanoma progression will be to administer the enzyme tyrosinase (TYR), which converts l-tyr into melanin. Herein, a multicompartment carrier consisting of a polymer shell entrapping thousands of liposomes is employed to act as a microreactor depleting l-tyr in the presence of melanoma cells. It is shown that the TYR enzyme can be incorporated within the liposomal subunits with preserved catalytic activity. Aiming to mimic the dynamic environment at the tumor site, l-tyr conversion is conducted by co-culturing melanoma cells and microreactors in a microfluidic setup with applied intratumor shear stress. It is demonstrated that the microreactors are concurrently depleting l-tyr, which translates into inhibited melanoma cell growth. Thus, the first microreactor where the depletion of a substrate translates into antitumor properties in vitro is reported.

Abstract
Since the first report in early 1990s, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have progressively attracted the attention of scientists due to their potential applications in physic, energy storage, imaging, and especially in biomedical engineering. Owning the unique physiochemical properties, such as highly porosity, large surface area and pore volume, functionalizable, tunable pore and particle sizes and biocompatibility, and high loading cavity, MSNs offer efficient encapsulation and then controlled release, and in some cases, intracellular delivery of bioactive molecules for biomedical applications. During the last decade, functionalized MSNs that show respond upon the surrounding stimulus changes, such as temperature, pH, redox, light, ultrasound, magnetic or electric fields, enzyme, redox, ROS, glucose, and ATP, or their combinations, have continuously revolutionized their potential applications in biomedical engineering. Therefore, this review focuses on discussion the recent fabrication of functionalized MSNs and their potential applications in drug delivery, therapeutic treatments, diagnostic imaging, and biocatalyst. In addition, some potential clinical applications and challenges will also be discussed.

Abstract
We report a facile and generic method for the synthesis of hollow mesoporous silica nanoreactors (HMSNs) with small-sized metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) inside their cavities. They were made by deposition of silica onto metal-containing charge-driven polymer micelles and subsequent calcination. The micelles consist of 1) negatively charged supramolecular polyelectrolyte chains of bis-ligand-bound metal ions, and 2) water-soluble, neutral/positive diblock copolymers. Owing to the facile coordination between transition-metal ion and the employed bidentate ligand, a series of HMSNs with <2 nm Mx Oy NPs inside cavities (M=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, or Zn) were obtained by simply varying the metal ions inside the micelles. The developed method circumvents the pre- and post-synthesis of metal oxide NPs; after calcination, hollow mesoporous nanostructures containing small-sized metal oxide NPs inside their cavities are directly obtained. The Cox Oy -functionalized HMSNs catalyze the degradation of various dyes with H2 O2 .

Abstract
We describe the fabrication of mesoporous silica nanocontainers (SiO2NCs) that simultaneously encapsulate different antiseptic agents. Peppermint oil (PO), thyme oil (TO), cinnamon oil (CnO), and clove oil (CO), which are known to display antibacterial properties, are loaded in the core of the silica nanocontainers that are stabilized by antiseptic surfactants. The encapsulation efficiency, surface area, and pore size are controlled by the type of oil and surfactant. The release of essential oils is further controlled by grafting oxidized hyaluronic acid on silica nanocontainers functionalized with amino groups.

Abstract
Drug-delivery systems (DDSs), in which drug encapsulation in nanoparticles enables targeted delivery of therapeutic agents and their release at specific disease sites, are important because they improve drug efficacy and help to decrease side effects. Although significant progress has been made in the development of DDSs for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, new approaches that increase the scope and effectiveness of such systems are still needed. Concepts such as nanoreactors and nanofactories are therefore attracting much attention. Nanoreactors, which basically consist of vesicle-encapsulated enzymes, provide prodrug conversion to therapeutic agents rather than simple drug delivery. Nanofactories are an extension of this concept and combine the features of nanoreactors and delivery carriers. Here, the required features of nanofactories are discussed and an overview of current strategies for the design and fabrication of different types of nanoreactors, i.e., systems based on lipid or polymer vesicles, capsules, mesoporous silica, viral capsids, and hydrogels, and their respective advantages and shortcomings, is provided. In vivo applications of biocatalytic reactors in the treatment of cancer, glaucoma, neuropathic pain, and alcohol intoxication are also discussed. Finally, the prospects for further progress in this important and promising field are outlined.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have crucial roles in cell signaling and homeostasis. Overproduction of ROS can induce oxidative damage to various biomolecules and cellular structures. Therefore, developing an approach capable of monitoring and quantifying ROS in living cells is significant for physiology and clinical diagnoses. Some cell-permeable fluorogenic probes developed are useful for the detection of ROS while in conjunction with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Their intracellular scenario is however hindered by the membrane-impermeable property of enzymes. Herein, a new approach for intracellular sensing of ROS by using horseradish peroxidase-encapsulated hollow silica nanospheres (designated HRP@HSNs), with satisfactory catalytic activity, cell membrane permeability, and biocompatibility, was prepared via a microemulsion method.These HRP@HSNs, combined with selective probes or targeting ligands, could be foreseen as ROS-detecting tools in specific organelles or cell types. As such, dihydrorhodamine 123-coupled HRP@HSNs were used for the qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of physiological H2O2 levels in activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. We envision that this HSNs encapsulating active enzymes can be conjugated with selective probes and targeting ligands to detect ROS in specific organelles or cell types of interest.

Abstract
Encapsulation of therapeutic proteins into particles from appropriate material can improve both stability and delivery of the drugs, and the obtained particles can serve as a platform for development of their new oral formulations. The main goal of this work was development of sol-gel/emulsion method for preparation of silica microcapsules capable of controlled release of encapsulated protein without loss of its native structure. For this purpose, the reported in literature direct sol-gel/W/O/W emulsion method of protein encapsulation was used with some modifications, because the original method did not allow to prepare silica microcapsules capable for protein release. The particles were synthesized using sodium silicate and tetraethoxysilane as silica precursors and different compositions of oil phase. In vitro kinetics of bovine serum albumin (BSA) release in buffer (pH 7.4) was studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and fluorescence spectrometry, respectively. Structural state of encapsulated BSA and after release was evaluated. It was found that the synthesis conditions influenced substantially the porous structure of the unloaded silica particles, release properties of the BSA-loaded silica particles and structural state of the encapsulated and released protein. The modified synthesis conditions made it possible to obtain the silica particles capable of controlled release of the protein during a week without loss of the protein native structure.

Abstract
Artificial organelles created from a bottom up approach are a new type of engineered materials, which are not designed to be living but, instead, to mimic some specific functions inside cells. By doing so, artificial organelles are expected to become a powerful tool in biomedicine. They can act as nanoreactors to convert a prodrug into a drug inside the cells or as carriers encapsulating therapeutic enzymes to replace malfunctioning organelles in pathological conditions. For the design of artificial organelles, several requirements need to be fulfilled: a compartmentalized structure that can encapsulate the synthetic machinery to perform an enzymatic function, as well as a means to allow for communication between the interior of the artificial organelle and the external environment, so that substrates and products can diffuse in and out the carrier allowing for continuous enzymatic reactions. The most recent and exciting advances in architectures that fulfill the aforementioned requirements are featured in this review. Artificial organelles are classified depending on their constituting materials, being lipid and polymer-based systems the most prominent ones. Finally, special emphasis will be put on the intracellular response of these newly emerging systems.

Abstract
Increasingly intricate in their composition and structural organization, hierarchical multicomponent metamaterials with nonlinear spatially reconfigurable functionalities challenge the intrinsic constraints of natural materials, revealing tremendous potential for the advancement of biochemistry, nanophotonics, and medicine. Recent breakthroughs in high-resolution nanofabrication utilizing ultranarrow, precisely controlled ion or laser beams have enabled assembly of architectures of unprecedented structural and functional complexity, yet costly, time- and energy-consuming high-resolution sequential techniques do not operate effectively at industry-required scale. Inspired by the fictional Baron Munchausen's fruitless attempt to pull himself up, it is demonstrated that metamaterials can undergo intrinsically driven self-assembly, metaphorically pulling themselves up into existence. These internal drivers hold a key to unlocking the potential of metamaterials and mapping a new direction for the large-area, cost-efficient self-organized fabrication of practical devices. A systematic exploration of these efforts is presently missing, and the driving forces governing the intrinsically driven self-assembly are yet to be fully understood. Here, recent progress in the self-organized formation and self-propelled growth of complex hierarchical multicomponent metamaterials is reviewed, with emphasis on key principles, salient features, and potential limitations of this family of approaches. Special stress is placed on self-assembly driven by plasma, current in liquid, ultrasonic, and similar highly energetic effects, which enable self-directed formation of metamaterials with unique properties and structures.
