Abstract
Self-assembled peptides have shown outstanding characteristics for vaccine delivery and drug targeting. Peptide molecules can be rationally designed to self-assemble into specific nanoarchitectures in response to changes in their assembly environment including: pH, temperature, ionic strength, and interactions between host (drug) and guest molecules. The resulting supramolecular nanostructures include nanovesicles, nanofibers, nanotubes, nanoribbons, and hydrogels and have a diverse range of mechanical and physicochemical properties. These molecules can be designed for cell-specific targeting by including adhesion ligands, receptor recognition ligands, or peptide-based antigens in their design, often in a multivalent display. Depending on their design, self-assembled peptide nanostructures have advantages in biocompatibility, stability against enzymatic degradation, encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs, sustained drug release, shear-thinning viscoelastic properties, and/or adjuvanting properties. These molecules can also act as intracellular transporters and respond to changes in the physiological environment. Furthermore, this class of materials has shown sequence- and structure-dependent impacts on the immune system that can be tailored to non-immunogenic for drug targeting, and immunogenic for vaccine delivery. This review explores self-assembled peptide nanostructures (beta sheets, alpha helices, peptide amphiphiles, amino acid pairing, elastin like polypeptides, cyclic peptides, short peptides, Fmoc peptides, and peptide hydrogels) and their application in vaccine delivery and drug targeting.

Abstract
A facile controlled-release delivery system has been developed with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose/poly(acrylic acid) (HPMC/PAA) hybrid nanogels by surfactant-free polymerization in aqueous solution. The effect of temperature, reaction time, and amount of cross-linker on the size and morphology of the nanogels has been studied. The results showed that when the reaction temperature is higher than the lower critical solution temperature, the particle size increases with increasing temperature. And in a certain range, the particle size decreases with increasing reaction time and amount of cross-linker, the prepared nanogel under each condition being spherical. Thus, the HPMC/PAA hybrid nanogels were prepared at 41 °C for 4 h, and possessed a size ranging from 250 nm to 615 nm. Then, insulin was loaded into the nanogel, and the pH and temperature sensitivity of the nanogel was studied, the results indicating that the release behavior of the nanogel can be regulated by pH and temperature. Finally, in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, insulin-loaded HPMC/PAA complex was able to maintain blood glucose concentration at a low level for the first week compared to a control group. Therefore, the nanogels have potential biological application as a long-term, sustained insulin delivery system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to highlight the utility of novel dissolving microneedle (MN)-based delivery systems for enhanced transdermal protein delivery. Vaccination remains the most accepted and effective approach in offering protection from infectious diseases. In recent years, much interest has focused on the possibility of using minimally invasive MN technologies to replace conventional hypodermic vaccine injections. METHODS The focus of this study was exploitation of dissolving MN array devices fabricated from 20% w/w poly(methyl vinyl ether/maleic acid) using a micromoulding technique, for the facilitated delivery of a model antigen, ovalbumin (OVA). KEY FINDINGS A series of in-vitro and in-vivo experiments were designed to demonstrate that MN arrays loaded with OVA penetrated the stratum corneum and delivered their payload systemically. The latter was evidenced by the activation of both humoral and cellular inflammatory responses in mice, indicated by the production of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgG1, IgG2a) and inflammatory cytokines, specifically interferon-gamma and interleukin-4. Importantly, the structural integrity of the OVA following incorporation into the MN arrays was maintained. CONCLUSION While enhanced manufacturing strategies are required to improve delivery efficiency and reduce waste, dissolving MN are a promising candidate for 'reduced-risk' vaccination and protein delivery strategies.

Abstract
A method to control the release of the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (Dox) from cylindrical nanocapsules, known as organic nanotubes (ONTs), is reported. Co-assembly of a tube-forming glycolipid and its hydrophobized analogue yield novel ONTs with both -COOH and hydrophobic benzyloxycarbonyl groups localized on cylindrical nanochannels. The hydrophobicity of the ONTs nanochannels is easily tunable by adjusting the mixing ratio of the two glycolipids in the co-assembly process. The resultant biologically stable ONTs are able to capture Dox with high efficiency into the cylindrical nanochannels via ion complexation between cationic Dox and anionic -COO(-) , and the release of Dox from hybrid ONTs is effectively controlled by tuning the electrostatic interaction and the hydrophobicity. This controlled release by tuning the hydrophobicity of the ONTs' nanochannels greatly reduces the cytotoxicity of Dox@ONTs for HeLa cells.

Abstract
The feasibility of cyclo-(D-Trp-Tyr) peptide nanotubes (PNTs) as oral gene delivery carriers was investigated in nude mice with eight 40 μg doses of pCMV-lacZ in 2 days at 3 h intervals. The association between DNA and PNTs, the DNase I stability of PNTs-associated DNA, and in vitro permeability of DNA were estimated. The results showed that the cyclo-(D-Trp-Tyr) PNTs self-associated at concentrations above 0.01 mg/mL. Plasmid DNA associated with PNTs with a binding constant of 3.2 × 10(8) M(-1) calculated by a fluorescence quenching assay. PNTs were able to protect DNA from DNase I, acid, and bile digestion for 50 min, 60 min, and 180 min, respectively. The in vitro duodenal apparent permeability coefficient of pCMV-lacZ calculated from a steady state flux was increased from 49.2 ± 21.6 × 10(-10) cm/s of naked DNA to 395.6 ± 142.2 × 10(-10) cm/s of pCMV-lacZ/PNT formulation. The permeation of pCMV-lacZ formulated with PNTs was found in an energy-dependent process. Furthermore, β-galatosidase (β-Gal) activity in tissues was quantitatively assessed using chlorophenol red-β-D-galactopyranoside (CPRG) and was significantly increased by 41% in the kidneys at 48 h and by 49, 63, and 46% in the stomach, duodenum, and liver, respectively, at 72 h after the first dose of oral delivery of pCMV-lacZ/PNT formulation. The organs with β-Gal activity were confirmed for the presence of pCMV-lacZ DNA with Southern blotting analysis and intracellular tracing the TM-rhodamine-labeled DNA and the presence of mRNA by reverse transcription-real time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Another plasmid (pCMV-hRluc) encoding Renilla reniformis luciferase was used to confirm the results. An increased hRluc mRNA and luciferase in stomach, duodenum, liver, and kidney were detected by RT-qPCR, ex vivo bioluminescence imaging, luciferase activity quantification, and immunostaining, respectively.

Abstract
Ellagic acid (EA), a plant polyphenol known for its wide-range of health benefits was encapsulated within self-assembled threonine based peptide microtubes. The microtubes were assembled using the synthesized precursor bolaamphiphile bis(N-α-amido threonine)-1,5-pentane dicarboxylate. The self-assembly of the microstructures was probed at varying pH. In general, tubular formations were observed at a pH range of 4-6. The formed microtubes were then utilized for fabrication with EA. We probed the ability of the microtubes as drug release vehicles for EA as well as for antibacterial applications. It was found that the release of EA was both pH and concentration dependent. The biocompatibility as well as cytotoxicity of the EA-fabricated microtubes was examined in the presence of mammalian normal rat kidney (NRK) cells. Finally the antibacterial effects of the EA incorporated peptide microtubes was examined against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
Insulin/alginate (ALG) microcapsules for controllable release and side effect reduction of a glucocorticoid have been fabricated via the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique. Insulin and ALG are deposited alternately onto hydrocortisone (HC) crystals to form a core-shell structure. This insulin/ALG microcapsule can prolong the release of HC under physical conditions and control the HC release rate by adjusting the number of insulin/ALG bilayers adsorbed onto HC crystals. The release of insulin from the capsule wall exhibits a little lag, compared with that of the HC. It is a great advantage for this system because hyperglycemia caused by HC usually arises a few hours after its administration, which could be inhibited by the delayed release of insulin from the shell of the microcapsule. This synergy effect might enable a new way of using one carrier to deliver two kinds of drugs and reduce their side effects at the same time.
