Abstract
Polypeptides have shown an excellent potential in nanomedicine thanks to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, high functionality, and responsiveness to several stimuli. Polypeptides exhibit high propensity to organize at the supramolecular level; hence, they have been extensively considered as building blocks in the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. The LbL technique is a highly versatile methodology, which involves the sequential assembly of building blocks, mainly driven by electrostatic interactions, onto planar or colloidal templates to fabricate sophisticated multilayer nanoarchitectures. The simplicity and the mild conditions required in the LbL approach have led to the inclusion of biopolymers and bioactive molecules for the fabrication of a wide spectrum of biodegradable, biocompatible, and precisely engineered multilayer films for biomedical applications. This review focuses on those examples in which polypeptides have been used as building blocks of multilayer nanoarchitectures for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications, highlighting the characteristics of the polypeptides and the strategies adopted to increase the stability of the multilayer film. Cross-linking is presented as a powerful strategy to enhance the stability and stiffness of the multilayer network, which is a fundamental requirement for biomedical applications. For example, in tissue engineering, a stiff multilayer coating, the presence of adhesion promoters, and/or bioactive molecules boost the adhesion, growth, and differentiation of cells. On the contrary, antimicrobial coatings should repel and inhibit the growth of bacteria. In drug delivery applications, mainly focused on particles and capsules at the micro- and nano-meter scale, the stability of the multilayer film is crucial in terms of retention and controlled release of the payload. Recent advances have shown the key role of the polypeptides in the adsorption of genetic material with high loading efficiency, and in addressing different pathways of the particles/capsules during the intracellular uptake, paving the way for applications in personalized medicine. Although there are a few studies, the responsiveness of the polypeptides to the pH changes, together with the inclusion of stimuli-responsive entities into the multilayer network, represents a further key factor for the development of smart drug delivery systems to promote a sustained release of therapeutics. The degradability of polypeptides may be an obstacle in certain scenarios for the controlled intracellular release of a drug once an external stimulus is applied. Nowadays, the highly engineered design of biodegradable LbL particles/capsules is oriented on the development of theranostics that, limited to use of polypeptides, are still in their infancy.

Abstract
Nanofibrous polymeric materials, combined with protein therapeutics, play a significant role in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. However, the upload of proteins into nanofibers with a high yield and controlled release has been a challenging issue. Here, we report the in situ loading of a model protein (bovine serum albumin) into hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers via ice-templating, with a 100% protein drug loading efficiency. These protein-loaded nanofibers were further coated by polydopamine in order to improve the nanofiber stability and achieve a controlled protein release. The mass ratio between poly(vinyl alcohol) and bovine serum albumin influenced the percentage of proteins in composite nanofibers and fiber morphology. More particles and less nanofibers were formed with an increasing percentage of bovine serum albumin. By varying the coating conditions, it was possible to produce a uniform polydopamine coating with tunable thickness, which acted as an additional barrier to reduce burst release and achieve a more sustained release profile.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Polyphenols, specifically tannic acid, should increase the hydrophilicity of graphene when added during the interfacial exfoliation through π-π stacking. Following Bancroft's rule, increasing the hydrophilicity of graphene will result in a phase inversion of water-in-oil emulsions stabilized by graphene. Polymerization of the oil phase will then lead to graphene-coated spheres rather than graphene-stabilized polyHIPEs. EXPERIMENTS Optical particle sizing, microscopy, contact angle, and electrical conductivity measurements were performed to determine the mechanism of sphere formation in graphene-stabilized emulsions modified with tannic acid. Studies focused on the effect of graphite flake size, graphite concentration, tannic acid concentration, and oil phase composition. Particle sizing and scanning electron microscopy examined the spheres' size, shape, and surface morphology. Contact angle measurements gave insight into the change in graphene surface energy. Conductivity studies examined the graphene shell surrounding the spheres. FINDINGS Adding tannic acid to graphene-stabilized emulsions induced a phase change from water-in-oil to oil-in-water. Contact angle measurements confirmed greater hydrophilicity of graphene in the presence of tannic acid. However, very high tannic acid concentrations led to a decrease in the stability of the emulsion. Varying the graphite flake size and concentration resulted in morphology and conductivity changes. Dilution of the monomer phase produced hollow microcapsules.

Controlling the Interaction between Starchy Polyelectrolyte Layers for Adjusting Protein Release from Nanocapsules in a Simulated Gastrointestinal Tract. Foods 2022; 11:foods11172681.

Abstract
Orally delivered bioactive proteins face great challenges in the harsh environment of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in the field of functional foods based on bioactive proteins. Therefore, it is necessary to design carriers and delivery systems that have the potential to overcome the problem of lower bioaccessibility for protein cargoes. In this work, we present a starchy oral colon-targeting delivery system, capable of improving the release profile of the protein cargoes. The starchy oral colon-targeting delivery system was fabricated using layer-by-layer assembly of starchy polyelectrolytes (carboxymethyl anionic starch and spermine cationic starch) onto the surface of protein nanoparticles via electrostatic interaction. The dynamic change in the interaction between the starchy polyelectrolytes affected the shell aggregation structure and determined the release kinetics of nanocapsules in the GIT. Specifically, the stronger interactions between the starchy layers and the thicker and more compact shell layer kept the nanocapsule intact in the simulated gastric and intestinal fluids, better-protecting the protein from degradation by digestive fluids, thus avoiding the burst release effect in the SGF and SIF. However, the nanocapsule could quickly swell with the decreasing molecular interactions between starchy polyelectrolytes, increasing protein release (63.61%) in the simulated colonic fluid. Therefore, release behaviors of protein cargoes could be appropriately controlled by adjusting the number of deposited layers of pH-sensitive starchy polyelectrolytes on the nanocapsule. This could improve the bioaccessibility of oral targeted delivery of bioactive proteins to the colon.

Abstract
Former studies have demonstrated a strong interest toward the crystallization of CaCO3 polymorphs in solution. Nowadays, CaCO3 crystallization on solid surfaces is extensively being studied using biomolecules as substrates for the control of the growth aiming at various applications of CaCO3. Calcium carbonate exists in an amorphous state, as three anhydrous polymorphs (aragonite, calcite and vaterite), and as two hydrated polymorphs (monohydrocalcite and ikaite). The vaterite polymorph is considered as one of the most attractive forms due to its large surface area, biocompatibility, mesoporous nature, and other features. Based on physical or chemical immobilization approaches, vaterite can be grown directly on solid surfaces using various (bio)molecules, including synthetic polymers, biomacromolecules such as proteins and peptides, carbohydrates, fibers, extracellular matrix components, and even biological cells such as bacteria. Herein, the progress on the modification of solid surfaces by vaterite CaCO3 crystals is reviewed, focusing on main findings and the mechanism of vaterite growth initiated by various substances mentioned above, as well as the discussion of the applications of such modified surfaces.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayered capsules (PEMUCs) obtained using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) method have become powerful tools for different biomedical applications, which include drug delivery, theranosis or biosensing. However, the exploitation of PEMUCs in the biomedical field requires a deep understanding of the most fundamental bases underlying their assembly processes, and the control of their properties to fabricate novel materials with optimized ability for specific targeting and therapeutic capacity. This review presents an updated perspective on the multiple avenues opened for the application of PEMUCs to the biomedical field, aiming to highlight some of the most important advantages offered by the LbL method for the fabrication of platforms for their use in the detection and treatment of different diseases.

Abstract
Microcapsules are one of the most promising microscale drug carriers due to their facile fabrication, excellent deformability, and high efficacy in drug storage and delivery. Understanding the effects of their physicochemical properties (size, shape, rigidity, charge, surface chemistry, etc.) on both in vitro and in vivo performance is not only highly significant and interesting but also very challenging. Stiffness, an important design parameter, has been extensively explored in recent years, but how the rigidity of particles influences cellular internalization and uptake mechanisms remains controversial. Here, one-layered lysozyme-based microcapsules with well-controlled stiffness (modulus ranging from 3.49 ± 0.18 MPa to 26.14 ± 1.09 MPa) were prepared and used to investigate the effect of stiffness on the uptake process in dendritic cells and the underlying mechanism. The cellular uptake process and endocytic mechanism were investigated with laser scanning confocal microscopy, mechanism inhibitors, and pathway-specific antibody staining. Our data demonstrated that the stiffness of protein-based microcapsules could be a strong regulator of intracellular uptake and endocytic kinetics but had no obvious effect on the endocytic mechanism. We believe our results will provide a basic understanding of the intracellular uptake process of microcapsules and the endocytic mechanism and inspire strategies for the further design of potential drug delivery microcarriers.

Abstract
In this article, we present a facile and robust method for the surfactant-free preparation of polynorepinephrine stabilised microcapsules templated from an oil-in-water emulsion. The resulting microcapsule structures are dependent on the concentration of Cu2+ used to catalyse norepinephrine polymerisation. When the concentration of Cu2+ increases, the diameter of the microcapsules and the thickness of the shell increase correspondingly. The mechanical and chemical stability provided by the polynorepinephrine shell are explored using surface pressure measurements and atomic force microscopy, demonstrating that a rigid and robust polynorepinephrine shell is formed. In order to demonstrate potential application of the microcapsules in sustained release, Nile red stained squalane was encapsulated, and pH responsive release was monitored. It was seen that by controlling pH, the release profile could be controlled, with highest release efficacy achieved in alkaline conditions, offering a new pathway for development of encapsulation systems for the delivery of water insoluble actives.

Abstract
Microencapsulation of formulation designs further expands the field and offers the potential for use in developing bioartificial organs via cell encapsulation. Combining formulation design and encapsulation requires ideal excipients to be determined. In terms of cell encapsulation, an environment which allows growth and functionality is paramount to ensuring cell survival and incorporation into a bioartificial organ. Hence, excipients are examined for both individual properties and benefits, and compatibility with encapsulated active materials. Polymers are commonly used in microencapsulation, offering protection from the immune system. Bile acids are emerging as a tool to enhance delivery, both biologically and pharmaceutically. Therefore, this review will focus on bile acids and polymers in formulation design via microencapsulation, in the field of bioartificial organ development.

Abstract
The present study focuses on the immobilization of the bacterial ribonuclease barnase (Bn) into submicron porous calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles. For encapsulation, we apply adsorption, freezing-induced loading and co-precipitation methods and study the effects of adsorption time, enzyme concentration and anionic polyelectrolytes on the encapsulation efficiency of Bn. We show that the use of negatively charged dextran sulfate (DS) and ribonucleic acid from yeast (RNA) increases the loading capacity (LC) of the enzyme on CaCO3 particles by about 3-fold as compared to the particles with Bn itself. The ribonuclease (RNase) activity of encapsulated enzyme depends on the LC of the particles and transformation of metastable vaterite to stable calcite, as studied by the assessment of enzyme activities in particles.

Abstract
Engineering microenvironments for sequential enzymatic reactions has attracted specific interest within different fields of research as an effective strategy to improve the catalytic performance of enzymes. While in industry most enzymatic reactions occur in a single compartment carrier, living cells are however able to conduct multiple reactions simultaneously within confined sub-compartments, or organelles. Engineering multi-compartments with regulated environments and transformation properties enhances enzyme activity and stability and thus increases the overall yield of final products. In this review, we discuss current and potential methods to fabricate artificial cells for sequential enzymatic reactions, which are inspired by mechanisms and metabolic pathways developed by living cells. We aim to advance the understanding of living cell complexity and its compartmentalization and present solutions to mimic these processes in vitro. Particular attention has been given to layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes for developing multi-compartments. We hope this review paves the way for the next steps toward engineering of smart artificial multi-compartments with adoptive stimuli-responsive properties, mimicking living cells to improve catalytic properties and efficiency of the enzymes and enhance their stability.

Abstract
Microcapsules formed using a "layer-by-layer" alternating deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes on sacrificial templates have reached high interest because of their facile fabrication procedure using a broad range of materials and tailored properties. However, their practical applications as microcarriers are limited as the capsules commonly suffer from low mechanical stability that can be enhanced by chemical or physical crosslinking but at the expense of decreasing permeability of the capsules' walls. It is demonstrated here that the incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in a relatively small amount (3.5%) arranged in the direction perpendicular to the capsules' walls led to an almost 20-fold increase of the apparent elastic modulus of the microcapsules as shown using the osmotic pressure method. Importantly, the introduced carbon nanotubes due to their absorption in the near-infrared region and specific arrangement enabled also a light-triggered increase of permeability of the capsules in a reversible, nondestructive manner as shown using fluorescently labeled dextrans of various molar masses. Such results imply durability and facile loading/unloading of the microcapsules that are both crucial for their practical applications as microcontainers and microreactors.

Abstract
A modified method to determine protein encapsulation efficiency in polymer matrices has been developed and applied to two proteins and two polymers to demonstrate its wide range of applicability. This study was pursued due to the wide variation in reported protein encapsulation efficiency of polymer-based microcapsules, even when the protein, the polymer, and the microcapsule manufacturing method were consistent. Hemoglobin (Hb) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were chosen as model proteins and ethylcellulose and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as model polymers. The polymer of the microcapsule was dissolved in dichloromethane/ethanol or dichloromethane/ethyl acetate for ethylcellulose or PLGA microcapsules, respectively. Liberated proteins were simultaneously precipitated, pelleted by centrifugation, isolated by decanting the polymer solution, redissolved in 10% w/v sodium dodecyl sulfate in 0.8 N sodium hydroxide, and quantified using a modified Lowry assay. Blank microcapsules and exogenously added proteins demonstrated ≥ 93.8% recovery of proteins. The mean encapsulation efficiency of ethylcellulose or PLGA microcapsules was 52.4 or 76.9% for Hb and 86.4 or 74.7% for BSA, respectively. This demonstrates the effective use of centrifugation and the importance of an appropriate cosolvent system in the measure of encapsulation efficiency where one solvent dissolves the polymer while the other solvent quantitatively precipitates the liberated protein. It is evident that an alkaline solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate is efficient at quantitatively dissolving precipitated proteins. Remediation of problems observed with current methods and high reproducibility suggest that this modified method is generally applicable to the measure of protein encapsulation efficiency of polymer microcapsules.

Encapsulation of Low-Molecular-Weight Drugs into Polymer Multilayer Capsules Templated on Vaterite CaCO 3 Crystals. MICROMACHINES 2020; 11:mi11080717.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PEMCs) templated onto biocompatible and easily degradable vaterite CaCO3 crystals via the layer-by-layer (LbL) polymer deposition process have served as multifunctional and tailor-made vehicles for advanced drug delivery. Since the last two decades, the PEMCs were utilized for effective encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.). However, their capacity to host low-molecular-weight (LMW) drugs (<1–2 kDa) has been demonstrated rather recently due to a limited retention ability of multilayers to small molecules. The safe and controlled delivery of LMW drugs plays a vital role for the treatment of cancers and other diseases, and, due to their tunable and inherent properties, PEMCs have shown to be good candidates for smart drug delivery. Herein, we summarize recent progress on the encapsulation of LMW drugs into PEMCs templated onto vaterite CaCO3 crystals. The drug loading and release mechanisms, advantages and limitations of the PEMCs as LMW drug carriers, as well as bio-applications of drug-laden capsules are discussed based upon the recent literature findings.

Abstract
Objective(s): Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), an intracellular pathogen, causes 1.5 million deaths globally. Bacilli Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is commonly administered to protect people against M. tuberculosis infection; however, there are some obstacles with this first-generation vaccine. DNA vaccines, the third generation vaccines, can induce cellular immune responses for tuberculosis (TB) protection. In this study, optimized DNA vaccine (pcDNA3.1-Mtb72F) entrapped in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) was used to achieve higher immunogenicity. Materials and Methods: Plasmid Mtb72F was formulated in PLGA NPs using double emulsion method in the presence of TB10.4 and/or CpG as an adjuvant. Female BALB/c mice were immunized either with NP-encapsulated Mtb72F or naked Mtb72F with or without each adjuvant, using the BCG-prime DNA boost regimen. Results: These NPs were approximately 250 nm in diameter and the nucleic acid and protein encapsulation efficiency were 80% and 25%, respectively. The NPs smaller than 200 nm are able to promote cellular rather than humoral responses. The immunization with the formulation consisting of Mtb72F DNA vaccine and TB10.4 entrapped in PLGA NPs showed significant immunogenicity and induced predominantly interferon-ɣ (IFN-ɣ) production and higher INF-ɣ/interleukin-4 (IL-4) ratio in the cultured spleen cells supernatant. Conclusion: PLGA NPs loaded with Mtb72F DNA-based vaccine with TB10.4 could be considered as a promising candidate for vaccination against TB. These results represent an excellent initial step toward development of novel vaccine for TB protection.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a prominent phenomenon observed in nature. Inspired by this thermodynamically favorable approach, several natural and synthetic materials have been investigated to develop functional systems for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery. Furthermore, layered self-assembled systems provide added advantages of tunability and multifunctionality which are crucial for controlled and targeted drug release. Layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition has emerged as one of the most popular, well-established techniques for tailoring such layered self-assemblies. This review aims to provide a brief overview of drug delivery applications using LbL deposition, along with a discussion of associated scalability challenges, technological innovations to overcome them, and prospects for commercial translation of this versatile technique. Additionally, alternative self-assembly techniques such as metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) and Liesegang rings are also reviewed in the context of their recent utilization for controlled drug delivery. Blending the sophistication of these self-assembly phenomena with material science and technological advances can provide a powerful tool to develop smart drug carriers in a scalable manner.

Abstract
Efficient delivery of genetic material to primary cells remains challenging. Here, efficient transfer of genetic material is presented using synthetic biodegradable nanocarriers, resembling extracellular vesicles in their biomechanical properties. This is based on two main technological achievements: generation of soft biodegradable polyelectrolyte capsules in nanosize and efficient application of the nanocapsules for co-transfer of different RNAs to tumor cell lines and primary cells, including hematopoietic progenitor cells and primary T cells. Near to 100% efficiency is reached using only 2.5 × 10-4 pmol of siRNA, and 1 × 10-3 nmol of mRNA per cell, which is several magnitude orders below the amounts reported for any of methods published so far. The data show that biodegradable nanocapsules represent a universal and highly efficient biomimetic platform for the transfer of genetic material with the utmost potential to revolutionize gene transfer technology in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
A facile and green approach is developed for fabricating colloidosomes with well-controlled size and structure from the microfluidic-generated aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) emulsion droplet. Unlike other methods that rely on self-assembly of externally added colloidal particles at the emulsion interface, urease-mediated biomineralization induced by "drainage" is introduced to form CaCO3 particles at the alginate emulsion interface for preparing Ca-alg@CaCO3 colloidosomes. Two types of bioactive molecules (bovine serum albumin and catalase) can be encapsulated with high efficiency (>85%) because of the partitioning effect of the ATPS and high viscosity of alginate solution. The encapsulated bioactive molecules can be controllably released by regulating the compactness of colloidosomes. Moreover, after being freeze-dried or dried at 37 °C, the activity of catalase in colloidosomes is obviously higher than that in alginate hydrogels, which confirms that the Ca-alg@CaCO3 structure has strong protection for inclusions. We believe that the biocompatible and controllable Ca-alg@CaCO3 colloidosomes possess great potential applications in bioencapsulation for foods, daily chemicals, and synthetic protocell formation.

Abstract
Food-sourced bioactive compounds have drawn much attention due to their health benefits such as anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetes and cardiovascular disease-preventing functions. However, the poor solubility, low stability and limited bioavailability of sensitive bioactive compounds greatly limited their application in food industry. Therefore, numbers of carriers were developed for improving their dispersibility, stability and bioavailability. This review addresses the digestion and absorption mechanisms of bioactive compounds in epithelial cells based on several well-known in vitro and in vivo models. Factors such as environmental stimuli, stomach conditions and mucus barrier influencing the utilization efficacy of the bioactive compounds are discussed. Delivery systems with enhanced utilization efficacy, such as complex coacervates, cross-linked polysaccharides, self-assembled micro-/nano-particles and Pickering emulsions are compared. It is a comprehensive multidisciplinary review which provides useful guidelines for application of bioactive compounds in food industry.

Abstract
We report a simple process to fabricate monodisperse tetra-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (tetra-PEG) hydrogel microcapsules with an aqueous core and a semipermeable hydrogel shell through the formation of aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) droplets consisting of a dextran-rich core and a tetra-PEG macromonomer-rich shell, followed by a spontaneous cross-end coupling reaction of tetra-PEG macromonomers in the shell. Different from conventional techniques, this process enables for the continuous production of hydrogel microcapsules from water-in-oil emulsion droplets under mild conditions in the absence of radical initiators and external stimuli such as heating and ultraviolet light irradiation. We find that rapid cross-end coupling reaction of tetra-PEG macromonomers in ATPS droplets in the range of pH from 7.4 to 7.8 gives hydrogel microcapsules with a kinetically arrested core-shell structure. The diameter and core-shell ratio of the microcapsules can be easily controlled by adjusting flow rates and ATPS compositions. On the other hand, the slow cross-end coupling reaction of tetra-PEG macromonomers in ATPS droplets at pH 7.0 and lower induces structural change from core-shell to Janus during the reaction, which eventually forms hydrogel microparticles with a thermodynamically stable crescent structure. We believe that these hydrogel microparticles with controlled structures can be used in biomedical fields such as cell encapsulation, biosensors, and drug delivery carriers for sensitive biomolecules.

Abstract
Fluorescent imaging is a widely used technique for detecting and monitoring the distribution, interaction, and transformation processes at molecular, cellular, and tissue level in modern diagnostic and other biomedical applications. Unique photophysical properties of fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals "quantum dots" (QDs) make them advanced fluorophores for fluorescent labeling of biomolecules or optical encoding of microparticles to be used as bioimaging and theranostic agents in targeted delivery, visualization, diagnostics, and imaging. This paper reports on the results of development of an improved approach to the optical encoding of polyelectrolyte microcapsules with stable, covered with the multifunctional polyethyleneglycol derivatives water-soluble QDs, as well as characterization of the optical properties, morphological and structural properties of the encoded microcapsules. The embedding of QDs into the polymer microcapsule membrane through layer-by-layer deposition on a preliminarily formed polymeric polyelectrolyte shell makes it possible to obtain bright fluorescent particles with an adapted charge and size distribution that are distinctly discernible by flow cytometry as individual homogeneous populations. The fluorescent microcapsules developed can be used in further designing bioimaging and theranostic agents sensitive to various external stimuli along with photoexcitation.

Abstract
The breakthrough of genetic therapy is set back by the lack of suitable genetic vector systems. We present the development of permeability-tunable, capsule-like, polymeric, micron-sized, core-shell particles for delivery of recombinant nucleic acids into target cells. These particles were demonstrated to effectively release rod-shaped small hairpin RNA and to selectively retain the RNA-encoding DNA template, which was designed to form a bulky tripartite structure. Thus, they can serve as delivery vectors preloaded with cargo RNA or alternatively as RNA-producing micro-bioreactors. The internalization of particles by human tissue culture cells inversely correlated with particle size and with the cell to particle ratio, although at a higher than stoichiometric excess of particles over cells, cell viability was impaired. Among primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, up to 50% of the monocytes displayed positive uptake of particles. Finally, these particles efficiently delivered siRNA into HEK293T cells triggering functional knockdown of the target gene lamin A/C. Particle-mediated knockdown was superior to that observed after conventional siRNA delivery via lipofection. Core-shell particles protect encapsulated nucleic acids from degradation and target cell genomes from direct contact with recombinant DNA, thus representing a promising delivery vector system that can be explored for genetic therapy and vaccination.

Abstract
Polymeric capsules exhibit significant potential for therapeutic applications as microreactors, where the bio-chemical reactions of interest are efficiently performed in a spatial and time defined manner due to the encapsulation of an active biomolecule (e.g., enzyme) and control over the transfer of reagents and products through the capsular membrane. In this work, catalase loaded polymer capsules functionalized with an external layer of tannic acid (TA) are fabricated via a layer-by-layer approach using calcium carbonate as a sacrificial template. The capsules functionalised with TA exhibit a higher scavenging capacity for hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals, suggesting that the external layer of TA shows intrinsic antioxidant properties, and represents a valid strategy to increase the overall antioxidant potential of the developed capsules. Additionally, the hydrogen peroxide scavenging capacity of the capsules is enhanced in the presence of the encapsulated catalase. The capsules prevent oxidative stress in an in vitro inflammation model of degenerative disc disease. Moreover, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), and disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-5 (ADAMTS-5), which represents the major proteolytic enzymes in intervertebral disc, are attenuated in the presence of the polymer capsules. This platform technology exhibits potential to reduce oxidative stress, a key modulator in the pathology of a broad range of inflammatory diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress damages important cell structures leading to cellular apoptosis and senescence, for numerous disease pathologies including cancer, neurodegeneration or osteoarthritis. Thus, the development of biomaterials-based systems to control oxidative stress has gained an increasing interest. Herein, polymer capsules loaded with catalase and functionalized with an external layer of tannic acid are fabricated, which can efficiently scavenge important reactive oxygen species (i.e., hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide) and modulate extracellular matrix activity in an in vitro inflammation model of nucleus pulposus. The present work represents accordingly, an important advance in the development and application of polymer capsules with antioxidant properties for the treatment of oxidative stress, which is applicable for multiple inflammatory disease targets.

Abstract
Objective Alginate, known as a group of anionic polysaccharides extracted from seaweeds, has attracted the attention
of researchers because of its biocompatibility and degradability properties. Alginate has shown beneficial effects on
wound healing as it has similar function as extracellular matrix. Alginate microcapsules (AM) that are used in tissue
engineering as well as Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) contain nutrients required for cell viability. The
purpose of this research was introducing AM in medium and nutrient reagent cells and making a comparison with
control group cells that have been normally cultured in long term.
Materials and Methods In this experimental study, AM were shaped in distilled water, it was dropped at 5 mL/hours
through a flat 25G5/8 sterile needle into a crosslinking bath containing 0.1 M calcium chloride to produce calcium
alginate microspheres. Then, the size of microcapsules (300-350 µm) were confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM) images after the filtration for selection of the best size. Next, DMEM was injected into AM. Afterward, adipose-
derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) and Ringer’s serum were added. Then, MTT and DAPI assays were used
for cell viability and nucleus staining, respectively. Also, morphology of microcapsules was determined under invert
microscopy.
Results Evaluation of the cells performed for spatial media/microcapsules at the volume of 40 µl, showed ADSCs
after 1-day cell culture. Also, MTT assay results showed a significant difference in the viability of sustained-release
media injected to microcapsules (P<0.05). DAPI staining revealed living cells on the microcapsules after 1 to 7-day cell
culture.
Conclusion According to the results, AM had a positive effect on cell viability in scaffolds and tissue engineering and
provide nutrients needed in cell therapy.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-gal) is one of the important lysosomal enzymes that is involved in the breakdown of glycosphingolipids (e.g., GM1 ganglioside), and its deficiency leads to GM1 Gangliosidosis, a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD). Intracellular delivery of β-gal is one of the preferable methods to treat this kind of LSDs. However, it cannot permeate the cell membrane due to its intricate macromolecular nature, low stability, and degradation by endogenous proteases. To this end, we report efficient intracellular delivery of β-gal via arginase-responsive dextran sulfate/poly-l-arginine polymer capsules (DS/PA capsules). The therapeutic activity of β-gal enzyme has been assessed in two gene-deficient diseased cell lines, SV (β-galactosidase gene-deficient mouse fibroblast) and R201C (deficient human β-galactosidase gene-introduced mouse fibroblast), and in wild-type mouse fibroblast immortalized cell lines. The activity of β-gal enzyme has been estimated within cells by using fluorescein isothiocyanate-cholera toxin B as a florescent probe that illustrates the level of GM1 ganglioside, the β-gal substrate. We found 1.8-, 3.4-, and 2.8-fold reduction in the substrate level in R201C, SV, and wild-type mouse fibroblast, respectively, which confirms the release and therapeutic activity of β-gal enzyme inside the cells. Moreover, enzyme delivery in gene-deficient diseased cell lines (SV and R201C) via DS/PA capsules reduced the level of enzyme substrate to a normal endogenous level, which is present in untreated wild-type mouse fibroblast cells. We note that loading of β-gal enzyme within DS/PA capsules was estimated to be 3 mU per hundred capsules and more than 77% of β-gal is released within 12 h. Overall, these results highlight the potential of DS/PA capsules as an efficient delivery carrier for therapeutic enzyme.

Abstract
The all-polysaccharide based polyelectrolyte microcapsules combining copigmentation for anthocyanin encapsulation and stabilization were fabricated. Copigmented complexes of chondroitin sulfate and anthocyanin were preloaded in CaCO3 scaffold, and then microcapsules were created by coating the sacrificial CaCO3 using layer-by-layer technique. It was observed that the preloading of copigmented complex affected the precipitation reaction of CaCO3 and the subsequent entrapment of anthocyanin. With addition of anthocyanin from 0.125 to 0.75 mg, copigmentation can significantly increase the encapsulation efficiency of anthocyanin in CaCO3, whereas such effect was not obvious at higher loadings. The leakage of anthocyanin during CaCO3 core dissolution and storage was also inhibited by two polysaccharide layers coupled with copigmentation, which may be related to the formation of interconnecting networks. Additionally, a higher anthocyanin antioxidant activity was provided by carbohydrate matrix. These findings may allow for the encapsulation of large amounts of water-soluble components; particularly natural colorant by copigmented complex-polyelectrolyte structures.

Abstract
Soft assemblies obtained following the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) approach are accounted among the most interesting systems for designing biomaterials and drug delivery platforms. This is due to the extraordinary versatility and flexibility offered by the LbL method, allowing for the fabrication of supramolecular multifunctional materials using a wide range of building blocks through different types of interactions (electrostatic, hydrogen bonds, acid-base or coordination interactions, or even covalent bonds). This provides the bases for the building of materials with different sizes, shapes, compositions and morphologies, gathering important possibilities for tuning and controlling the physico-chemical properties of the assembled materials with precision in the nanometer scale, and consequently creating important perspective for the application of these multifunctional materials as cargo systems in many areas of technological interest. This review studies different physico - chemical aspects associated with the assembly of supramolecular materials by the LbL method, paying special attention to the description of these aspects playing a central role in the application of these materials as cargo platforms for encapsulation and release of active compounds.

Abstract
In this work, a layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled biopolymer microcapsule with separate layer cavities is generated by a novel and convenient gas-liquid microfluidic approach. This approach exhibits combined advantages of microfluidic approach and LbL assembly method, and it can straightforwardly build LbL-assembled capsules in mild aqueous environments at room temperature. In particular, using this approach we can build the polyelectrolyte multilayer capsule with favorable cavities in each layer, and without the need for organic solvent, emulsifying agent, or sacrificial template. Various components (e.g., drugs, proteins, fluorescent dyes, and nanoparticles) can be respectively encapsulated in the separate layer cavities of the LbL-assembled capsules. Moreover, the encapsulated capsules present the ability as colorimetric sensors, and they also exhibit the interesting release behavior. Therefore, the LbL-assembled biopolymer capsule is a promising candidate for biomedical applications in targeted delivery, controlled release, and bio-detection.

Abstract
We report a cell-mediated, targeted drug delivery system utilizing polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules that hybridize with the patient's own platelets upon intravenous administration. The hybridized platelets function as the sensor and actuator for targeted drug delivery and controlled release in our system. These capsules are biochemically and mechanically tuned to enable platelet adhesion and capsule rupture upon platelet activation and contraction, enabling the targeted and controlled "burst" release of an encapsulated biotherapeutic. As platelets are the "first responders" in the blood clot formation process, this platelet-hybridized system is ideal for the targeted delivery of clot-augmenting biotherapeutics wherein immediate therapeutic efficacy is required. As proof-of-concept, we tailored this system to deliver the pro-clotting biotherapeutic factor VIII for hemophilia A patients that have developed inhibitory antifactor VIII antibodies. The polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules physically shield the encapsulated factor VIII from the patient's inhibitors during circulation, preserving its bioactivity until it is delivered at the target site via platelet contractile force. Using an in vitro microfluidic vascular injury model with factor VIII-inhibited blood, we demonstrate a 3.8× increase in induced fibrin formation using capsules loaded with factor VIII at a concentration an order of magnitude lower than that used in systemic delivery. We further demonstrate that clot formation occurs 18 min faster when factor VIII loaded capsules are used compared to systemic delivery at the same concentration. Because platelets are integral in the pathophysiology of thrombotic disorders, cancer, and innate immunity, this paradigm-shifting smart drug delivery system can be similarly applied to these diseases.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) based self-assembly of nanoparticles is an emerging and powerful method to develop multifunctional and tissue responsive nanomedicines for a broad range of diseases. This unique assembly technique is able to confer a high degree of modularity, versatility, and compositional heterogeneity to nanoparticles via the sequential deposition of alternately charged polyelectrolytes onto a colloidal template. LbL assembly can provide added functionality by directly incorporating a range of functional materials within the multilayers including nucleic acids, synthetic polymers, polypeptides, polysaccharides, and functional proteins. These materials can be used to generate hierarchically complex, heterogeneous thin films on an extensive range of both traditional and novel nanoscale colloidal templates, providing the opportunity to engineer highly precise systems capable of performing the numerous tasks required for systemic drug delivery. In this review, we will discuss the recent advancements towards the development of LbL nanoparticles for drug delivery and diagnostic applications, with a special emphasis on the incorporation of biostability, active targeting, desirable drug release kinetics, and combination therapies into LbL nanomaterials. In addition to these topics, we will touch upon the next steps for the translation of these systems towards the clinic.
