Abstract
Peptide-polymer conjugates (PPCs) are of particular interest in the development of responsive, adaptive, and interactive materials due to the benefits offered by combining both building blocks and components. This review presents pioneering work as well as recent advances in the design of peptide-polymer conjugates, with a specific focus on their thermoresponsive behavior. This unique class of materials has shown great promise in the development of supramolecular structures with physicochemical properties that are modulated using soft and biorthogonal external stimuli. The temperature-induced self-assembly of PPCs into various supramolecular architectures, gelation processes, and tuning of accessible processing parameters to biologically relevant temperature windows are described. The discussion covers the chemical design of the conjugates, the supramolecular driving forces involved, and the mutual influence of the polymer and peptide segments. Additionally, some selected examples for potential biomedical applications of thermoresponsive PPCs in tissue engineering, delivery systems, tumor therapy, and biosensing are highlighted, as well as perspectives on future challenges.

Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide capable of downregulating innate immune responses in antigen presenting cells (APCs) by suppressing their pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and cell surface marker expression. Though VIP's bioactivity could possibly be leveraged as a treatment for transplant tolerance, drug delivery innovation is required to overcome its intrinsically limited cellular delivery capacity. One option is to employ peptide amphiphiles (PAs) which are lipidated peptides capable of self-assembling into micelles in water that can enhance cellular association. With this approach in mind, a series of triblock VIP amphiphiles (VIPAs) has been synthesized to explore the influence of block arrangement and hydrophobicity on micelle biocompatibility and bioactivity. VIPA formulation has been found to influence the shape, size, and surface charge of VIPA micelles (VIPAMs) as well as their cytotoxicity and immunomodulatory effects. Specifically, the enclosed work provides strong evidence that cylindrical VIPAMs with aspect ratios of 1.5-150 and moderate positive surface charge are able to potentiate the bioactivity of VIP limiting TNF-α secretion and MHC II and CD86 surface expression on APCs. With these criteria, we have identified PalmK-(EK)4-VIP as our lead formulation, which showed comparable or enhanced anti-inflammatory effects relative to the unmodified VIP at all dosages evaluated. Additionally, the relationships between peptide block location and lipid block size provide further information on the chemical structure-function relationships of PA micelles for the delivery of VIP as well as potentially for other peptides more broadly.

Abstract
Solubility and functionality of polymeric materials are essential properties determining their role in any application. In that regard, double hydrophilic copolymers (DHC) are typically constructed from two chemically dissimilar but water-soluble building blocks. During the past decades, these materials have been intensely developed and utilised as, e.g., matrices for the design of multifunctional hybrid materials, in drug carriers and gene delivery, as nanoreactors, or as sensors. This is predominantly due to almost unlimited possibilities to precisely tune DHC composition and topology, their solution behavior, e.g., stimuli-response, and potential interactions with small molecules, ions and (nanoparticle) surfaces. In this contribution we want to highlight that this class of polymers has experienced tremendous progress regarding synthesis, architectural variety, and the possibility to combine response to different stimuli within one material. Especially the implementation of DHCs as versatile building blocks in hybrid materials expanded the range of water-based applications during the last two decades, which now includes also photocatalysis, sensing, and 3D inkjet printing of hydrogels, definitely going beyond already well-established utilisation in biomedicine or as templates.

Abstract
Polylysine and materials that integrate lysine form promising drug delivery platforms. As a cationic macromolecule, a polylysine polymer electrostatically interacts with cells and is efficiently internalized, thereby enabling intracellular delivery. Although polylysine is intrinsically pH-responsive, the conjugation with different functional groups imparts smart, stimuli-responsive traits by adding pH-, temperature-, hypoxia-, redox-, and enzyme-responsive features for enhanced delivery of therapeutic agents. Because of such characteristics, polylysine has been used to deliver various cargos such as small-molecule drugs, genes, proteins, and imaging agents. Furthermore, modifying contrast agents with polylysine has been shown to improve performance, including increasing cellular uptake and stability. In this review, the use of lysine residues, peptides, and polymers in various drug delivery systems has been discussed comprehensively to provide insight into the design and robust manufacturing of lysine-based delivery platforms.

Abstract
Due to the complex physiological characteristics of tumors, chemotherapy or gene therapy alone cannot completely kill tumor cells. Therefore, combining chemotherapy with gene therapy for combination therapy is the key to solving this problem. However, there are still significant challenges in how to simultaneously deliver and rapidly release the drugs and siRNA into cancer cells. In this work, a triblock copolymer was synthesized to co-deliver siRNA and paclitaxel to tumor cells. This system has an acid-sensitive subsurface layer, which can not only load siRNA to prevent premature drug release but also has good controlled release performance. In vitro experiments showed that polymeric vectors can efficiently deliver siRNA and paclitaxel simultaneously into tumor cells for rapid release within the tumor cells. This study reveals that this novel polymeric micelle is a suitable vector for the codelivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and siRNA to cancer cells, representing an important advance in nanotechnology, nanomedicine, drug delivery, and cancer therapy.

Abstract
Malignant solid tumors are composed of tumor cells, stromal cells and the complex networks of the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is the underlying cause of the unsatisfactory outcome of conventional chemotherapy approaches only aimed at cancer cell killing. In this study, a novel TME-responsive polymeric micelle has been developed for the programmed site-specific delivery of the angiostatin sunitinib and chemotherapeutic paclitaxel (PTX). The pH-sensitive micelle core encapsulates PTX, while β-cyclodextrin molecules being conjugated to the micelle shell via matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) sensitive peptides include sunitinib. Following the pH and MMP-2 dual sensitive structure design, the micelle may sequentially release sunitinib inside the tumor extracellular matrix and PTX into cancer cells through responding to enriched MMP-2 levels and decreased pH, respectively. Consequently, the anti-angiogenesis effect of sunitinib and tumor cell-killing effect of PTX synergize, resulting in highly efficient tumor treatment.

Abstract
Drug resistance is the underlying cause for therapeutic failure in clinical cancer chemotherapy. A prodrug copolymer mPEG-PAsp(DIP-co-BZA-co-DOX) (PDBD) was synthesized and assembled into a nanoscale vesicle comprising a PEG corona, a reduction and pH dual-sensitive hydrophobic membrane and an aqueous lumen encapsulating doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) and arsenite (As). The dual stimulation-sensitive design of the vesicle gave rise to rapid release of the physically entrapped DOX·HCl and arsenite inside acidic lysosomes, and chemically conjugated DOX inside the cytosol with high glutathione (GSH) concentration. In the optimized concentration range, arsenite previously recognized as a promising anticancer agent from traditional Chinese medicine can down-regulate the expressions of anti-apoptotic and multidrug resistance proteins to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy. Consequently, the DOX-As-co-loaded vesicle demonstrated potent anticancer activity. Compared to the only DOX-loaded vesicle, the DOX-As-co-loaded one induced more than twice the apoptotic ratio of MCF-7/ADR breast cancer cells at a low As concentration (0.5 μM), due to the synergistic effects of DOX and As. The drug loading strategy integrating chemical conjugation and physical encapsulation in stimulation-sensitive carriers enabled efficient drug loading in the formulation.

Abstract
Various polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) with optimal size, tumor-targeting functionalization, or microenvironment sensitive characteristics have been designed to solve several limitations of conventional chemotherapy. Nano-sized polymeric drug carrier systems have remarkably great advantages in drug delivery and cancer therapy, which are still plagued with severe deficiencies, especially insufficient cellular uptake. Recently, surface charge of medical NPs has been demonstrated to play an important role in cellular uptake. NPs with positive charge show higher affinity to anionic cell membranes such that with more efficient cellular internalization, but otherwise cause severe aggregation and fast clearance in circulation. Thus, surface charge-reversal NPs, specifically activated at the tumor site, have shown to elegantly resolve the enhanced cellular uptake in cancer cells vs. non-specific protein adsorption dilemma. Herein, this review mainly focuses on the effect of tumor-site activated surface charge reversal NPs on tumor treatment, including the activated mechanisms and various applications in suppressing cancer cells, killing cancer stem cell and overcoming multidrug resistance, with the emphasis on recent research in these fields. With the comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the activated surface charge reversal NPs, this approach might arouse great interest of scientific research on enhanced efficient polymeric nano-carriers in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Vinyl polymers have been the focus of intensive research over the past few decades and are attractive materials owing to their ease of synthesis and their broad diversity of architectures, compositions and functionalities. Their carbon-carbon backbones are extremely resistant to degradation, however, and this property limits their uses. Degradable polymers are an important field of research in polymer science and have been used in a wide range of applications spanning from (nano)medicine to microelectronics and environmental protection. The development of synthetic strategies to enable complete or partial degradation of vinyl polymers is, therefore, of great importance because it will offer new opportunities for the application of these materials. This Review captures the most recent and promising approaches to the design of degradable vinyl polymers and discusses the potential of these materials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
In the pursuit of new strategies for the design and synthesis of high performance, physically associated hydrogels, dynamic materials formed through electrostatic interactions can serve as a powerful model. Here, we introduce a convenient strategy to obtain biodegradable hydrogels from ABA triblock ionic polypeptides formed by mixing poly(L-glutamic acid)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-glutamic acid) (PGA-PEG-PGA) with poly(L-lysine)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lysine) (PLL-PEG-PLL). The hydrogels showed tunable physical properties, high strength and reversible response. The reactive function groups in the ionic blocks can conjugate with oppositely charged drugs or proteins and allow for further modification. These ionic ABA triblock polyelectrolytes can also encapsulate intact cells without significantly compromising cell viability, suggesting that the hydrogels have excellent cytocompatibility. In vivo evaluation performed in rats with subcutaneous injection indicated that the gels were formed and degraded, and hematoxylin and eosin staining suggested good biocompatibility in vivo. In addition, these advantages, combined with the synthetic accessibility of the copolymer, make this cross-linking system a flexible and powerful new tool for the development of injectable hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Abstract
siRNA therapy research has primarily focused on the synthesis and development of effective siRNA delivery vectors with easy biodegradability and low toxicity. In the present study, we synthesized a ternary copolymer mPEG-b-PLL-g-(ss-lPEI), denoted as PLI, by introducing disulfide bond linkages to graft low molecular weight linear polyethylenimine (lPEI) to the block copolymer of poly(L-lysine) (PLL) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) for siRNA delivery. The PLL block and disulfide linkage rendered the carrier biodegradability, while lPEI grafting brought about the proton buffering capacity for lysosomal siRNA release and low cationic toxicity. Conjugation of a single chain monoclonal antibody (Herceptin) to the carrier as a targeting ligand for the Her2/neu receptor significantly increased the transfection activity of the copolymer/siRNA nanocomplex (i.e. the polyplex) in Skov-3, a human ovarian cancer cell line. Determination of gene expression at both the mRNA and protein levels demonstrated that Her2-targeted delivery of siRNA (XIAP siRNA) effectively downregulated the targeted XIAP (X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein) gene, resulting in enhanced cancer cell apoptosis and improved therapeutic efficacy in vitro and in vivo. The distinct features of low cytotoxicity, easy degradability, and high siRNA transfection efficiency make the copolymer a promising candidate for siRNA therapy in tumors.

Abstract
Stimuli-sensitive synthetic polypeptides are unique biodegradable and biocompatible synthetic polymers with structures mimicking natural proteins. These polymers exhibit reversible secondary conformation transitions and/or hydrophilic-hydrophobic transitions in response to changes in environmental conditions such as pH and temperature. The stimuli-triggered conformation and/or phase transitions lead to unique self-assembly behaviors, making these materials interesting for controlled drug and gene delivery applications. Therefore, stimuli-sensitive synthetic polypeptide-based materials have been extensively investigatid in recent years. Various polypeptide-based materials, including micelles, vesicles, nanogels, and hydrogels, have been developed and tested for drug- and gene-delivery applications. In addition, the presence of reactive side groups in some polypeptides facilitates the incorporation of various functional moieties to the polypeptides. This Review focuses on recent advances in stimuli-sensitive polypeptide-based materials that have been designed and evaluated for drug and gene delivery applications. In addition, recent developments in the preparation of stimuli-sensitive functionalized polypeptides are discussed.

Turbidity, zeta potential and ¹H NMR measurements were used to study the aggregation behaviors of His-PAsp/PAsp under different pH values. The modified polypeptide derivative composed of electro-negatively carboxylic and electro-positively imidazole residues randomly so as to bear opposite charges at pH values above or below the isoelectric point. When the zwitterionic polypeptide was coated on silicon wafer as a model substrate material, the absorption resistance of fibrinogen, a blood protein resulting in the blood coagulation cascade, on the coated surface was measured. It was found that the adsorption amount of fibrinogen on the polypeptide-coated surface depended on the dose of the polypeptide on silicon wafer. Obvious resistance of the fibrinogen adsorption on the polypeptide-coated surface was observed. Since its good biodegradability and superior anti-protein-fouling property, this pH-responsive zwitterionic polypeptide is a promising candidate for surface modification in many biomedical applications, including medical implants, drug delivery carriers, and biosensors.
