Abstract
Continuous industrialization has raised daunting environmental concerns, and there is an urgent need to develop a sustainable strategy to tackle the contamination issues. Here, we report a supramolecular photoenzyme ensemble enabling the harvest of solar energy to remove contaminations in water. The well-sourced oxidoreductase, laccase, is confined into a photoactive hydrogen-bonded organic framework (PHOF) through an in situ encapsulation method. The direct electron migration between the oxidation center in a PHOF and the reduction center in laccase facilitates synergistic photoenzyme-coupled catalysis, showing two orders of magnitude higher activity than free laccase for pollutant degradation under visible light, without the need for sacrificial agents or costly co-mediators. Such high decontamination efficiency also surpasses the reported catalysts. The structure and decontamination function of this supramolecular photoenzyme ensemble remain highly stable in complex environment matrices, presenting desirable reusability and almost 100% conversion efficiency of pollutants for real sewage samples. Our conceptual photoenzyme hybrid catalyst offers important insights into green and sustainable water decontamination.

Biny L, Gerasimovich E, Karaulov A, Sukhanova A, Nabiev I. Functionalized Calcium Carbonate-Based Microparticles as a Versatile Tool for Targeted Drug Delivery and Cancer Treatment. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:653. [PMID: 38794315 PMCID: PMC11124899 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16050653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Nano- and microparticles are increasingly widely used in biomedical research and applications, particularly as specific labels and targeted delivery vehicles. Silica has long been considered the best material for such vehicles, but it has some disadvantages limiting its potential, such as the proneness of silica-based carriers to spontaneous drug release. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an emerging alternative, being an easily available, cost-effective, and biocompatible material with high porosity and surface reactivity, which makes it an attractive choice for targeted drug delivery. CaCO3 particles are used in this field in the form of either bare CaCO3 microbeads or core/shell microparticles representing polymer-coated CaCO3 cores. In addition, they serve as removable templates for obtaining hollow polymer microcapsules. Each of these types of particles has its specific advantages in terms of biomedical applications. CaCO3 microbeads are primarily used due to their capacity for carrying pharmaceutics, whereas core/shell systems ensure better protection of the drug-loaded core from the environment. Hollow polymer capsules are particularly attractive because they can encapsulate large amounts of pharmaceutical agents and can be so designed as to release their contents in the target site in response to specific stimuli. This review focuses first on the chemistry of the CaCO3 cores, core/shell microbeads, and polymer microcapsules. Then, systems using these structures for the delivery of therapeutic agents, including drugs, proteins, and DNA, are outlined. The results of the systematic analysis of available data are presented. They show that the encapsulation of various therapeutic agents in CaCO3-based microbeads or polymer microcapsules is a promising technique of drug delivery, especially in cancer therapy, enhancing drug bioavailability and specific targeting of cancer cells while reducing side effects. To date, research in CaCO3-based microparticles and polymer microcapsules assembled on CaCO3 templates has mainly dealt with their properties in vitro, whereas their in vivo behavior still remains poorly studied. However, the enormous potential of these highly biocompatible carriers for in vivo applications is undoubted. This last issue is addressed in depth in the Conclusions and Outlook sections of the review.

Abstract
The metastable vaterite polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) holds significant practical importance, particularly in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and various personal care products. Controlling the size and morphology of vaterite particles is crucial for biomedical applications. This study explored the synergistic effect of ultrasonic (US) irradiation and acidic amino acids on CaCO3 synthesis, specifically the size, dispersity, and crystallographic phase of curved-edge vaterite with chiral toroids (chiral-curved vaterite). We employed 40 kHz US irradiation and introduced L- or D-aspartic acid as an additive for the formation of spheroidal chiral-curved vaterite in an aqueous solution of CaCl2 and Na2CO3 at 20 ± 1 °C. Chiral-curved vaterites precipitated through mechanical stirring (without US irradiation) exhibited a particle size of approximately 15 μm, whereas those formed under US irradiation were approximately 6 μm in size and retained their chiral topoid morphology. When a fluorescent dye was used for the analysis of loading efficiency, the size-reduced vaterites with chiral morphology, produced through US irradiation, exhibited a larger loading efficiency than the vaterites produced without US irradiation. These results hold significant value for the preparation of biomimetic chiral-curved CaCO3, specifically size-reduced vaterites, as versatile biomaterials for material filling, drug delivery, and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Plastics make our lives easier in many ways; however, if they are not appropriately disposed of or recycled, they may end up in the environment where they stay for centuries and degrade into smaller and smaller pieces, called microplastics. Each year, approximately 42000 tonnes of microplastics end up in the environment when products containing them are used. According to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) one of the significant sources of microplastics are microcapsules formulated in home care and consumer care products. As part of the EU's plastics strategy, ECHA has proposed new regulations to ban intentionally added microplastics starting from 2022. It means that the current cross-linked microcapsules widely applied in consumer goods must be transformed into biodegradable shell capsules. The aim of this review is to provide the readers with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of recent developments in the art of microencapsulation. Thus, considering the chemical structure of the capsule shell's materials, we discuss whether microcapsules should also be categorized as microplastic and therefore, feared and avoided or whether they should be used despite the persisting concern.

Time-Delayed Anticancer Effect of an Extremely Low Frequency Alternating Magnetic Field and Multimodal Protein-Tannin-Mitoxantrone Carriers with Brillouin Microspectroscopy Visualization In Vitro. Biomedicines 2024; 12:443.

Abstract
The effect of an extremely low frequency alternating magnetic field (ELF AMF) at frequencies of 17, 48, and 95 Hz at 100 mT on free and internalized 4T1 breast cancer cell submicron magnetic mineral carriers with an anticancer drug, mitoxantrone, was shown. The alternating magnetic field (100 mT; 17, 48, 95 Hz; time of treatment-10.5 min with a 30 s delay) does not lead to the significant destruction of carrier shells and release of mitoxantrone or bovine serum albumin from them according to the data of spectrophotometry, or the heating of carriers in the process of exposure to magnetic fields. The most optimal set of factors that would lead to the suppression of proliferation and survival of cells with anticancer drug carriers on the third day (in comparison with the control and first day) is exposure to an alternating magnetic field of 100 mT in a pulsed mode with a frequency of 95 Hz. The presence of magnetic nanocarriers in cell lines was carried out by a direct label-free method, space-resolved Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectrometry, which was realized for the first time. The analysis of the series of integrated BLS spectra showed an increase in the magnetic phase in cells with a growth in the number of particles per cell (from 10 to 100) after their internalization. The safety of magnetic carriers in the release of their constituent ions has been evaluated using atomic absorption spectrometry.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy is a revolutionary approach to treat cancers, but still have limited clinical applications. Accumulating evidence pinpoints the immunosuppressive characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME) as one major obstacle. The TME, characterized by acidity, hypoxia and elevated ROS levels, exerts its detrimental effects on infiltrating anti-tumor immune cells. Here, we developed a TME-responsive and immunotherapeutic catalase-loaded calcium carbonate nanoparticles (termed as CAT@CaCO3 NPs) as the simple yet versatile multi-modulator for TME remodeling. CaCO3 NPs can consume protons in the acidic TME to normalize the TME pH. CAT catalyzed the decomposition of ROS and thus generated O2. The released Ca2+ led to Ca2+ overload in the tumor cells which then triggered the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMP) signals to initiate anti-tumor immune responses, including tumor antigen presentation by dendritic cells. Meanwhile, CAT@CaCO3 NPs-induced immunosupportive TME also promoted the polarization of the M2 tumor-associated macrophages to the M1 phenotype, further enhancing tumor antigen presentation. Consequently, T cell-mediated anti-tumor responses were activated, the efficacy of which was further boosted by aPD-1 immune checkpoint blockade. Our study demonstrated that local treatment of CAT@CaCO3 NPs and aPD-1 combination can effectively evoke local and systemic anti-tumor immune responses, inhibiting the growth of treated tumors and distant diseases.

Abstract
The development of advanced methods for the synthesis of nano- and microparticles in the field of biomedicine is of high interest due to a range of reasons. The current synthesis methods may have limitations in terms of efficiency, scalability, and uniformity of the particles. Here, we investigate the synthesis of submicron calcium carbonate using a microfluidic chip with a T-shaped oil supply for droplet-based synthesis to facilitate control over the formation of submicron calcium carbonate particles. The design of the chip allowed for the precise manipulation of reaction parameters, resulting in improved porosity while maintaining an efficient synthesis rate. The pore size distribution within calcium carbonate particles was estimated via small-angle X-ray scattering. This study showed that the high porosity and reduced size of the particles facilitated the higher loading of a model peptide: 16 vs. 9 mass.% for the particles synthesized in a microfluidic device and in bulk, correspondingly. The biosafety of the developed particles in the concentration range of 0.08-0.8 mg per plate was established by the results of the cytotoxicity study using mouse fibroblasts. This innovative approach of microfluidically assisted synthesis provides a promising avenue for future research in the field of particle synthesis and drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Biomineralization is a natural process of mineral formation mediated by biomacromolecules, allowing access to hierarchical structures integrating biological, chemical, and material properties. In this contribution, we comprehensively investigate the biomineralization of zeolite imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) for one-step synthesis of an enzyme-MOF biocomposite, in terms of differential crystallization behaviors, fine microstructure of resultant ZIF biominerals, the enzyme's conformation evolution, and protective effect of ZIF mineral. We discover that the biomineralization ability is ZIF organic linker dependent and the biocatalytic function is highly related to the ZIF mineral species and their distinguishable topologies and defect structures. Importantly, a side-by-side analysis suggests that the protective effect of ZIF mineral toward the hosted enzyme is highly associated with the synergistic effect of size dimension and chemical microenvironment of the ZIF pores. This work provides important insight into the ZIF-dependent biomineralization behaviors and highlights the important role of the ZIF microstructure in its biocatalytic activity and durability, which has been underestimated previously.

Abstract
The widespread application of calcium carbonate is determined by its high availability in nature and simplicity of synthesis in laboratory conditions. Moreover, calcium carbonate possesses highly attractive physicochemical properties that make it suitable for a wide range of biomedical applications. This review provides a conclusive analysis of the results on using the tunable vaterite metastability in the development of biodegradable drug delivery systems and therapeutic vehicles with a controlled and sustained release of the incorporated cargo. This manuscript highlights the nuances of vaterite recrystallization to non-porous calcite, dissolution at acidic pH, biodegradation at in vivo conditions and control over these processes. This review outlines the main benefits of vaterite instability for the controlled liberation of the encapsulated molecules for the development of biodegradable natural and synthetic polymeric materials for biomedical purposes.

Bastos FR, Soares da Costa D, Reis RL, Alves NM, Pashkuleva I, Costa RR. Layer-by-layer coated calcium carbonate nanoparticles for targeting breast cancer cells. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 153:213563. [PMID: 37487456 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023]
Abstract
Breast cancer is resistant to conventional treatments due to the specific tumour microenvironment, the associated acidic pH and the overexpression of receptors that enhance cells tumorigenicity. Herein, we optimized the synthesis of acidic resorbable calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles and the encapsulation of a low molecular weight model molecule (Rhodamine). The addition of ethylene glycol during the synthetic process resulted in a particle size decrease: we obtained homogeneous CaCO3 particles with an average size of 564 nm. Their negative charge enabled the assembly of layer-by-layer (LbL) coatings with surface-exposed hyaluronic acid (HA), a ligand of tumour-associated receptor CD44. The coating decreased Rhodamine release by two-fold compared to uncoated nanoparticles. We demonstrated the effect of nanoparticles on two breast cancer cell lines with different aggressiveness - SK-BR-3 and the more aggressive MDA-MB-231 - and compared them with the normal breast cell line MCF10A. CaCO3 nanoparticles (coated and uncoated) significantly decreased the metabolic activity of the breast cancer cells. The interactions between LbL-coated nanoparticles and cells depended on HA expression on the cell surface: more particles were observed on the surface of MDA-MB-231 cells, which had the thickest endogenous HA coating. We concluded that CaCO3 nanoparticles are potential candidates to carry low molecular weight chemotherapeutics and deliver them to aggressive breast cancer sites with an HA-abundant pericellular matrix.

Abstract
Phenols are widely used in industries despite their toxicity, which requires governments to limit their concentration in water to 5 mg/L before discharge to the city sewer. Thus, it is essential to develop a rapid, simple, and low-cost detection method for phenol. This study explored two pathways of peroxidase immobilization to develop a phenol detection system: peroxidase encapsulation into polyelectrolyte microcapsules and peroxidase captured by CaCO3. The encapsulation of peroxidase decreased enzyme activity by 96%; thus, this method cannot be used for detection systems. The capturing process of peroxidase by CaCO3 microspherulites did not affect the maximum reaction rate and the Michaelis constant of peroxidase. The native peroxidase—Vmax = 109 µM/min, Km = 994 µM; CaCO3–peroxidase—Vmax = 93.5 µM/min, Km = 956 µM. Ultimately, a reusable phenol detection system based on CaCO3 microparticles with immobilized peroxidase was developed, capable of detecting phenol in the range of 700 ng/mL to 14 µg/mL, with an error not exceeding 5%, and having a relatively low cost and production time. The efficiency of the system was confirmed by determining the content of phenol in a paintwork product.

Antitumor Effects of Microencapsulated Gratiola officinalis Extract on Breast Carcinoma and Human Cervical Cancer Cells In Vitro. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:1470. [PMID: 36837099 PMCID: PMC9960207 DOI: 10.3390/ma16041470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Flavonoid-containing Gratiola officinalis extract has been studied in relation to breast carcinoma and human cervical cancer cells in encapsulated and native form. Encapsulation was realized in polymer shells, which were formed by the layer-by-layer method using sequential adsorption of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) on the destructible cores. The extract was prepared by the author's method and characterized using high performance liquid chromatography. By means of optical and fluorescent microscopy, cell changes under the action of pure and encapsulated extracts were comprehensively studied, and statistical analysis was carried out. Cells were stained with propidium iodide, acridine orange, and Hoechst 33258. A fluorescence microscope with a digital video camera were used for cell imaging. The encapsulated extract caused 100% death of breast cancer SKBR-3 cells and 34% death of cervical cancer HeLa cells and prevented the formation of autophagosomes in both cultures. Analysis of the viability and morphological features of tumor cells under the action of microencapsulated extract allows us to consider microencapsulation as an effective strategy for delivering Gratiola officinalis extract to tumor cells and a promising way to overcome the protective autophagy.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043348. [PMID: 36834760 PMCID: PMC9966882 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. Pharmacological preparations are used for treatment to control heart rate and rhythm. Amiodarone is one of these highly effective preparations, but, at the same time, it has significant toxicity and nonspecific accumulation in tissues. The drug delivery system based on polyelectrolyte microcapsules is one of the solutions. For this purpose, we compared different encapsulation methods of amiodaron: monoammonium salt of glycyrrhizic acid (Am:MASGA) complex (molar ratio 1:8). The concentration of amiodarone was determined by spectrophotometric methods at 251 nm. It has been shown that the co-precipitation method allows capturing 8% of Am:MASGA by CaCO3 microspherulites, which is not sufficient for the long-acting drug. The adsorption method allows encapsulating more than 30% of Am:MASGA into CaCO3 microspherulites and polyelectrolyte microcapsules CaCO3(PAH/PSS)3, but, at the same time, an insignificant amount of substance is released into the incubation medium. The development of delivery and long-acting drug system based on such methods are not inexpedient. The most appropriate encapsulation method of Am:MASGA is the adsorption method into polyelectrolyte microcapsules with complex interpolyelectrolyte structure (PAH/PSS)3. Such a type of PMC adsorbed about 50% of the initial amount of the substance and 25-30% of Am:MASGA was released into the medium after 115 h of incubation. The adsorption of Am:MASGA by polyelectrolyte microcapsules has electrostatic nature as evidenced by the acceleration of the release by 1.8 times as ionic strength increases.

Microcapsule-Based Dose-Dependent Regulation of the Lifespan and Behavior of Adipose-Derived MSCs as a Cell-Mediated Delivery System: In Vitro Study. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010292. [PMID: 36613737 PMCID: PMC9820487 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The development of “biohybrid” drug delivery systems (DDS) based on mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) is an important focus of current biotechnology research, particularly in the areas of oncotheranostics, regenerative medicine, and tissue bioengineering. However, the behavior of MSCs at sites of inflammation and tumor growth is relevant to potential tumor transformation, immunosuppression, the inhibition or stimulation of tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Therefore, the concept was formulated to control the lifespan of MSCs for a specific time sufficient for drug delivery to the target tissue by varying the number of internalized microcontainers. The current study addressed the time-dependent in vitro assessment of the viability, migration, and division of human adipose-derived MSCs (hAMSCs) as a function of the dose of internalized polyelectrolyte microcapsules prepared using a layer-by-layer technique. Polystyrene sulfonate (PSS)—poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)-coated spherical micrometer-sized (diameter ~2−3 µm) vaterite (CaCO3) microcapsules (PAH-PSS)6 with the capping PSS layer were prepared after dissolution of the CaCO3 core template. The Cell-IQ phase contrast imaging results showed that hAMSCs internalized all (PAH-PSS)6 microcapsules saturating the intercellular medium (5−90 particles per cell). A strong (r > 0.7) linear dose-dependent and time-dependent (up to 8 days) regression was observed between the in vitro decrease in cell viability and the number of internalized microvesicles. The approximate time-to-complete-death of hAMSCs at different concentrations of microcapsules in culture was 428 h (1:5 ratio), 339 h (1:10), 252 h (1:20), 247 h (1:45), and 170 h (1:90 ratio). By varying the number of microcontainers loaded into the cells (from 1:10 to 1:90), a dose-dependent exponential decrease in both the movement rate and division rate of hAMSCs was observed. A real-time cell analysis (RTCA) of the effect of (PAH-PSS)6 microcapsules (from 1:5 to 1:20) on hAMSCs also showed a dose- and time-dependent decrease in cell longevity after a 50h study at ratios of 1:10 and 1:20. The incorporation of microcapsules (1:5, 1:20, and 1:45) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in 24−48 h secretion of GRO-α (CXCL1), MIF, and SDF-1α (CXCL12) chemokines in hAMSC culture. In turn, the normalization or inhibition of chemokine secretion occurred after 72 h, except for MIF levels below 5−20 microcapsules, which were internalized by MSCs. Thus, the proposed concept of controlling the lifespan of MSC-based DDS using a dose of internalized PAH-PSS microcapsules could be useful for biomedical applications. (PAH-PSS)6 microcapsule ratios of 1:5 and 1:10 have little effect on the lifespan of hAMSCs for a long time (up to 14−18 days), which can be recommended for regenerative therapy and tissue bioengineering associated with low oncological risk. The microcapsule ratios of 1:20 and 1:45 did not significantly restrict the migratory activity of hAMSCs-based DDS during the time interval required for tissue delivery (up to 4−5 days), followed by cell death after 10 days. Therefore, such doses of microcapsules can be used for hAMSC-based DDS in oncotheranostics.

Abstract
A new promising trend in personalized medicine is the use of autologous cells (macrophages or stem cells) for cell-based therapy and also as a "Trojan horse" for targeted delivery of a drug carrier. The natural ability of macrophages for chemotaxis allows them to deliver cargo to the damaged area, significantly reducing side effects on healthy organ tissues. Therefore, it is important to develop tools to track their behavior in the organism. While labeled containers can serve as anchored tags for imaging macrophages in vivo, they can affect the properties and functions of macrophages. This work demonstrates that 3 μm sized capsules based on biocompatible polyelectrolytes and fluorescently labeled with both Cy7 and RITC dyes do not affect cell functionalization in vitro, such as viability, proliferation, and movement of transformed monocyte/macrophage-like cells (RAW 264.7) and primary bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) at maximal loading of five capsules per cell. In addition, capsules allowed fluorescent detection of ex vivo loaded cells 24 h after the tail vein injection in vivo and visualization of microcapsule-laden macrophages ex vivo using confocal microscopy. We have delivered about 62.5% of injected BMDM containing 12.5 million capsules with 3.75 μg of high-molecular-weight cargo (0.3 pg/capsule) to the liver. Our results demonstrate that 3 μm polyelectrolyte fluorescently labeled microcapsules can be used for safe macrophage loading, allowing cell tracking and drug delivery, which will facilitate development of macrophage-based cell therapy protocols.

Abstract
A simple procedure to incorporate enzymes (horseradish peroxidase, HRP, and lactate oxidase, LOx) within alginate hydrogels is reported with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) used to detect the enzymatic reactions with the corresponding substrates. First, HRP and LOx were successfully immobilized into CaCO3 microspheres, followed by the electrostatic layer-by-layer deposition of a nanoshell onto the microspheres, and finally by their dispersion into alginate solution. The as-prepared dispersion was drop cast onto the glassy carbon electrodes and cross-linked by the external and internal gelation methods using Ca2+ cations. The enzymes encapsulated within the alginate hydrogels were characterized using cyclic voltammetry and kinetic studies performed using ECL. The results showed that the enzymatic activity was significantly maintained as a result of the immobilization, with values of the apparent Michaelis-Menten constants estimated as 7.71 ± 0.62 and 8.41 ± 0.43 μM, for HRP and LOx, respectively. The proposed biosensors showed good stability and repeatability with an estimated limit of detection of 5.38 ± 0.05 and 0.50 ± 0.03 μM for hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid, respectively. The as-prepared enzymes encapsulated within the alginate hydrogels showed good stability up to 28 days from their preparation. The sensitivity and selectivity of the enzymes encapsulated within the alginate hydrogels were tested in real matrices (HRP, hydrogen peroxide, in contact lens solution; LOx, lactic acid in artificial sweat) showing the sensitivity of the ECL detection methods for the detection of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid in real samples.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia-induced protein glycation and formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications and pathological biomineralization. Receptors for AGEs (RAGEs) mediate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via activation of NADPH-oxidase. It is conceivable that binding of glycated proteins with biomineral particles composed mainly of calcium carbonate and/or phosphate enhances their neutrophil-activating capacity and hence their proinflammatory properties. Our research managed to confirm this hypothesis. Human serum albumin (HSA) was glycated with methylglyoxal (MG), and HSA-MG was adsorbed onto mineral microparticles composed of calcium carbonate nanocrystals (vaterite polymorph, CC) or hydroxyapatite nanowires (CP). As scopoletin fluorescence has shown, H2O2 generation by neutrophils stimulated with HSA-MG was inhibited with diphenyleneiodonium chloride, wortmannin, genistein and EDTA, indicating a key role for NADPH-oxidase, protein tyrosine kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and divalent ions (presumably Ca2+) in HSA-MG-induced neutrophil respiratory burst. Superoxide anion generation assessed by lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence (Luc-CL) was significantly enhanced by free HSA-MG and by both CC-HSA-MG and CP-HSA-MG microparticles. Comparing the concentrations of CC-bound and free HSA-MG, one could see that adsorption enhanced the neutrophil-activating capacity of HSA-MG.

Abstract
Hollow microparticles (MPs) are of great relevance in the materials industry for a wide range of applications, such as catalysis, coatings, and delivery of theranostics. Here, we report the formation of hollow MPs through the assembly of lipoproteins in CaCO3 templates. Proteins interact in the pores of CaCO3 templates through attractive hydrophobic forces and form dense edges of hollow MPs. To further cross-link the proteins, Au3+ was added to initiate a redox reaction, where proteins were oxidized forming inter- and intramolecular covalent bonds, while Au3+ was reduced and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were formed. The obtained protein-based hollow MPs have a diameter of 6 μm and the AuNPs are embedded on their surface. Through this research, we suggest a new route to design biobased Au-protein hollow MPs in simple steps, which can allow new possibilities for carrying functional molecules and bioimaging.

Abstract
The recent successful application of lipid-based nanoparticles as delivery vehicles in COVID-19 vaccines demonstrated the superior potential of nanoparticle-based technology for targeted drug delivery in biomedicine. Among novel, rapidly advancing delivery platforms, the inorganic nano/microparticles gradually reach new heights and attract well-deserved attention among scientists and clinicians. Calcium carbonate in its vaterite form is used as a biocompatible carrier for a progressively increasing number of biomedical applications. Its growing popularity is conferred by beneficial porosity of particles, high mechanical stability, biodegradability under certain physiological conditions, ability to provide a continuous steady release of bioactives, preferential safety profile, and low cost, which make calcium carbonate a suitable entity of highly efficacious formulations for controlled drug delivery and release. The focal point of the current review is the success of the recent vaterite applications in the delivery of various diagnostics and therapeutic drugs. The manuscript highlights the nuances of drug loading in vaterite particles, connecting it with particle morphology, size, and charge of the loaded molecules, payload concentration, mono- or multiple drug loading. The manuscript also depicts recent successful methods of increasing the loading capacity developed for vaterite carriers. In addition, the review describes the various administration routes for vaterite particles with bioactive payloads, which were reported in recent years. Special attention is given to the multi-drug-loaded vaterite particles ("molecular cocktails") and reports on their successful delivery in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
A number of preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the efficiency of mesenchymal stromal cells to serve as an excellent base for a cell-mediated drug delivery system. Cell-based targeted drug delivery has received much attention as a system to facilitate the uptake a nd transfer of active substances to specific organs and tissues with high efficiency. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are attracting increased interest as a promising tool for cell-based therapy due to their high proliferative capacity, multi-potency, and anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. In particular, these cells are potentially suitable for use as encapsulated drug transporters to sites of inflammation. Here, we studied the in vitro effects of incorporating synthetic polymer microcapsules at various microcapsule-to-cell ratios on the morphology, ultrastructure, cytokine profile, and migration ability of human adipose-derived MSCs at various time points post-phagocytosis. The data show that under appropriate conditions, human MSCs can be efficiently loaded with synthesized microcapsules without damaging the cell’s structural integrity with unexpressed cytokine secretion, retained motility, and ability to migrate through 8 μm pores. Thus, the strategy of using human MSCs as a delivery vehicle for transferring microcapsules, containing bioactive material, across the tissue–blood or tumor–blood barriers to facilitate the treatment of stroke, cancer, or inflammatory diseases may open a new therapeutic perspective.

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
One of the undeniable trends in modern bioengineering and nanotechnology is the use of various biomolecules, primarily of a polymeric nature, for the design and formulation of novel functional materials for controlled and targeted drug delivery, bioimaging and theranostics, tissue engineering, and other bioapplications. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, the possibility of replicating natural cellular microenvironments, and the minimal toxicity typical of biogenic polymers are features that have secured a growing interest in them as the building blocks for biomaterials of the fourth generation. Many recent studies showed the promise of the hard-templating approach for the fabrication of nano- and microparticles utilizing biopolymers. This review covers these studies, bringing together up-to-date knowledge on biopolymer-based multilayer capsules and beads, critically assessing the progress made in this field of research, and outlining the current challenges and perspectives of these architectures. According to the classification of the templates, the review sequentially considers biopolymer structures templated on non-porous particles, porous particles, and crystal drugs. Opportunities for the functionalization of biopolymer-based capsules to tailor them toward specific bioapplications is highlighted in a separate section.

Abstract
Isolated proteins, especially membrane proteins, are susceptible to aggregation and activity loss after purification. For therapeutics and biosensors usage, protein stability and longevity are especially important. It has been demonstrated that photosystem I (PSI) can be successfully integrated into biohybrid electronic devices to take advantage of its strong light-driven reducing potential (-1.2V vs. the Standard Hydrogen Electrode). Most devices utilize PSI isolated in a nanosize detergent micelle, which is difficult to visualize, quantitate, and manipulate. Isolated PSI is also susceptible to aggregation and/or loss of activity, especially after freeze/thaw cycles. CaCO3 microspheres (CCMs) have been shown to be a robust method of protein encapsulation for industrial and pharmaceutical applications, increasing the stability and activity of the encapsulated protein. However, CCMs have not been utilized with any membrane protein(s) to date. Herein, we examine the encapsulation of detergent-solubilized PSI in CCMs yielding uniform, monodisperse, mesoporous microspheres. This study reports both the first encapsulation of a membrane protein and also the largest protein to date stabilized by CCMs. These microspheres retain their spectral properties and lumenal surface exposure and are active when integrated into hybrid biophotovoltaic devices. CCMs may be a robust yet simple solution for long-term storage of large membrane proteins, showing success for very large, multisubunit complexes like PSI.

Abstract
Polymer capsules fabricated via the layer-by-layer (LbL) approach have emerged as promising biomedical systems for the release of a wide variety of therapeutic agents, owing to their tunable and controllable structure and the possibility to include several functionalities in the polymeric membrane during the fabrication process. However, the limitation of the capsules with a single functionality to overcome the challenges involved in the treatment of complex pathologies denotes the need to develop multifunctional capsules capable of targeting several mediators and/or mechanisms. Oxidative stress is caused by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species [e.g., hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and superoxide anion radicals (•O2-)] in the cellular microenvironment and is a key modulator in the pathology of a broad range of inflammatory diseases. The disease microenvironment is also characterized by the presence of proinflammatory cytokines, increased levels of matrix metalloproteinases, and acidic pH, all of which could be exploited to trigger the release of therapeutic agents. In the present work, multifunctional capsules were fabricated via the LbL approach. Capsules were loaded with an antioxidant enzyme (catalase) and functionalized with a model drug (doxorubicin), which was conjugated to an amine-containing dendritic polyglycerol through a pH-responsive linker. These capsules efficiently scavenge H2O2 from solution, protecting cells from oxidative stress, and release the model drug in acidic microenvironments. Accordingly, in this work, a polymeric microplatform is presented as an unexplored combinatorial approach applicable for multiple targets of inflammatory diseases, in order to perform controlled spatiotemporal enzymatic reactions and drug release in response to biologically relevant stimuli.

Abstract
T cells play an important role in immunity and repair and are implicated in diseases, including blood cancers, viral infections, and inflammation, making them attractive targets for the treatment and prevention of diseases. Over recent years, the advent of nanomedicine has shown an increase in studies that use nanoparticles as carriers to deliver therapeutic cargo to T cells for ex vivo and in vivo applications. Nanoparticle-based delivery has several advantages, including the ability to load and protect a variety of drugs, control drug release, improve drug pharmacokinetics and biodistribution, and site- or cell-specific targeting. However, the delivery of nanoparticles to T cells remains a major technological challenge, which is primarily due to the nonphagocytic nature of T cells. In this review, we discuss the physiological barriers to effective T cell targeting and describe the different approaches used to deliver cargo-loaded nanoparticles to T cells for the treatment of disease such as T cell lymphoma and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In particular, engineering strategies that aim to improve nanoparticle internalization by T cells, including ligand-based targeting, will be highlighted. These nanoparticle engineering approaches are expected to inspire the development of effective nanomaterials that can target or manipulate the function of T cells for the treatment of T cell-related diseases.

Abstract
Drug carriers capable of releasing multiple protein therapeutics in an appropriate sequence are highly desirable for the treatment of many diseases. However current systems only allow the sequential release of two or three proteins, and it is difficult to adjust the time intervals between them. Here to solve these problems a new system is designed. The proteins are first encapsulated in CaCO3 microspheres. Then the microspheres are coated with hydrogen-bonded tannic acid (TA)/polyethylene glycol (PEG) layer-by-layer films. The encapsulated protein does not release from the microsphere until the TA/PEG coating is fully disintegrated. As the TA/PEG coating is eroded at a constant rate, the lag time for protein release is proportional to the coating thickness. To achieve sequential release, one can simply coat the protein-encapsulated microspheres with different thickness TA/PEG films and then mix them. Both in vitro and in vivo tests demonstrate that the proteins can be released from the mixed samples in a sequence according to the thickness of the TA/PEG coatings. The time intervals between the protein releases can be facilely adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the TA/PEG coatings. In addition, sequential release of more than 3 proteins can be facilely achieved.

Abstract
This work describes the preparation and characterization of printed biodegradable polymer (polylactic acid) capsules made in two different shapes: pyramid and rectangular capsules about 1 and 11 μm in size. Obtained core-shell capsules are described in terms of their morphology, loading efficiency, cargo release profile, cell cytotoxicity, and cell uptake. Both types of capsules showed monodisperse size and shape distribution and were found to provide sufficient stability to encapsulate small water-soluble molecules and to retain them for several days and ability for intracellular delivery. Capsules of 1 μm size can be internalized by HeLa cells without causing any toxicity effect. Printed capsules show unique characteristics compared with other drug delivery systems such as a wide range of possible cargoes, triggered release mechanism, and highly controllable shape and size.

Abstract
Targeting drug delivery systems is crucial to reducing the side effects of therapy. However, many of them are lacking effectiveness for kidney targeting, due to systemic dispersion and accumulation in the lungs and liver after intravenous administration. Renal artery administration of carriers provides their effective local accumulation but may cause irreversible vessel blockage. Therefore, the combination of the correct administration procedure, suitable drug delivery system, selection of effective and safe dosage is the key to sparing local therapy. Here, we propose the 3-μm sized fluorescent capsules based on poly-L-arginine and dextran sulfate for targeting the kidney via a mice renal artery. Hemodynamic study of the target kidney in combination with the histological analysis reveals a safe dose of microcapsules (20 × 106), which has not lead to irreversible pathological changes in blood flow and kidney tissue, and provides retention of 20.5 ± 3% of the introduced capsules in the renal cortex glomeruli. Efficacy of fluorescent dye localization in the target kidney after intra-arterial administration is 9 times higher than in the opposite kidney and after intravenous injection. After 24 h microcapsules are not observed in the target kidney when the safe dose of carriers is being used but a high level of fluorescent signal persists for 48 h indicating that fluorescent cargo accumulation in tissues. Injection of non-safe microcapsule dose leads to carriers staying in glomeruli for at least 48 h which has consequences of blood flow not being restored and tissue damage being observed in histology.

Abstract
Micro and nanoparticles are not only understood as components of materials but as small functional units too. Particles can be designed for the primary transduction of physical and chemical signals and, therefore, become a valuable component in sensing systems. Due to their small size, they are particularly interesting for sensing in microfluidic systems, in microarray arrangements and in miniaturized biotechnological systems and microreactors, in general. Here, an overview of the recent development in the preparation of micro and nanoparticles for sensing purposes in microfluidics and application of particles in various microfluidic devices is presented. The concept of sensor particles is particularly useful for combining a direct contact between cells, biomolecules and media with a contactless optical readout. In addition to the construction and synthesis of micro and nanoparticles with transducer functions, examples of chemical and biological applications are reported.

Abstract
This study presents a new, simple way to obtain mesoporous calcite structures via a green method using an eco-friendly surface-active compound, surfactin, as a controlling agent. The effects of synthesis time and surfactin concentration were investigated. The obtained structures were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) coupled with gas mass spectrometry (QMS) analysis. The experimental data showed that surfactin molecules significantly changed the morphology of the calcite crystals, roughening and deforming the surface and creating a greater specific surface area, even at low biosurfactant concentrations (10 ppm). The size of the crystals was reduced, and the zeta potential value of calcium carbonate was more negative when more biosurfactant was added. The XRD data revealed that the biomolecules were incorporated into the crystals and slowed the transformation of vaterite into calcite. It has been shown that as long as vaterite is present in the medium, the calcite surface will be less deformed. The strong influence of surfactin molecules on the crystal growth of calcium carbonate was due to the interaction of surfactin molecules with free calcium ions in the solution as well as the biomolecules adsorption at the formed crystal surface. The role of micelles in crystal growth was examined, and the mechanism of mesoporous calcium carbonate formation was presented.

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
Core-shell particles made of calcium carbonate and coated with biocompatible polymers using the Layer-by-Layer technique can be considered as a unique drug-delivery platform that enables us to load different therapeutic compounds, exhibits a high biocompatibility, and can integrate several stimuli-responsive mechanisms for drug release. However, before implementation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, such core-shell particles require a comprehensive in vivo evaluation in terms of physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an advanced imaging technique for the evaluation of in vivo biodistribution of drug carriers; nevertheless, an incorporation of positron emitters in these carriers is needed. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the radiolabeling approaches of calcium carbonate core-shell particles with different sizes (CaCO3 micron-sized core-shell particles (MicCSPs) and CaCO3 submicron-sized core-shell particles (SubCSPs)) to precisely determine their in vivo biodistribution after intravenous administration in rats. For this, several methods of radiolabeling have been developed, where the positron emitter (68Ga) was incorporated into the particle's core (co-precipitation approach) or onto the surface of the shell (either layer coating or adsorption approaches). According to the obtained data, radiochemical bounding and stability of 68Ga strongly depend on the used radiolabeling approach, and the co-precipitation method has shown the best radiochemical stability in human serum (96-98.5% for both types of core-shell particles). Finally, we demonstrate the size-dependent effect of core-shell particles' distribution on the specific organ uptake, using a combination of imaging techniques, PET, and computerized tomography (CT), as well as radiometry of separate organs. Thus, our findings open up new perspectives of CaCO3-radiolabeled core-shell particles for their further implementation into clinical practice.

Abstract
Multilayer capsules have been of great interest for scientists and medical communities in multidisciplinary fields of research, such as drug delivery, sensing, biomedicine, theranostics and gene therapy. The most essential attributes of a drug delivery system are considered to be multi-functionality and stimuli responsiveness against a range of external and internal stimuli. Apart from the highly explored strong polyelectrolytes, weak polyelectrolytes offer great versatility with a highly controllable architecture, unique stimuli responsiveness and easy tuning of the properties for intracellular delivery of cargo. This review describes the progress in the preparation, functionalization and applications of capsules made of weak polyelectrolytes or their combination with biopolymers. The selection of a sacrificial template for capsule formation, the driving forces involved, the encapsulation of a variety of cargo and release based on different internal and external stimuli have also been addressed. We describe recent perspectives and obstacles of weak polyelectrolyte/biopolymer systems in applications such as therapeutics, biosensing, bioimaging, bioreactors, vaccination, tissue engineering and gene delivery. This review gives an emerging outlook on the advantages and unique responsiveness of weak polyelectrolyte based systems that can enable their widespread use in potential applications.

The photocatalytic degradation of organic molecules is one of the effective ways for water purification. At this point, photocatalytic microreactor systems seem to be promising to enhance the versatility of the photoassisted degradation approach. Herein, we propose photoresponsive microcapsules prepared via layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes on the novel CaCO3/TiO2 composite template cores. The preparation of CaCO3/TiO2 composite particles is challenging because of the poor compatibility of TiO2 and CaCO3 in an aqueous medium. To prepare stable CaCO3/TiO2 composites, TiO2 nanoparticles were loaded into mesoporous CaCO3 microparticles with a freezing-induced loading technique. The inclusion of TiO2 nanoparticles into CaCO3 templates was evaluated with scanning electron microscopy and elemental analysis with respect to their type, concentration, and number of loading iterations. Upon polyelectrolyte shell assembly, the CaCO3 matrix was dissolved, resulting in microreactor capsules loaded with TiO2 nanoparticles. The photoresponsive properties of the resulted capsules were tested by photoinduced degradation of the low-molecule dye rhodamine B in aqueous solution and fluorescently labeled polymer molecules absorbed on the capsule surface under UV light. The exposure of the capsules to UV light resulted in a pronounced degradation of rhodamine B in capsule microvolume and fluorescent molecules on the capsule surface. Finally, the versatility of preparation of multifunctional photocatalytic and magnetically responsive capsules was demonstrated by iterative freezing-induced loading of TiO2 and magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles into CaCO3 templates.

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
Targeted delivery of vitamins to a desirable area is an active branch in a modern pharmacology. The most important and difficult delivery of vitamin B12 is that to bone marrow and nerve cells. Herein we present a first step towards the development of two types of smart carriers, polymer capsules and lyotropic liquid-crystalline nanosystems, for vitamin B12 targeted delivery and induced release. A vitamin B12 encapsulation technique into nanoengineered polymeric capsules produced by layer-by-layer assembling of polymeric shells on CaCO3 templates has been developed. The effectiveness of the process was demonstrated by optical absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and small-angle X-ray diffraction. TEM and AFM analyses performed on capsules after their drying, confirmed the presence of the vitamin B12 inside the capsules in the form of crystalline nanoaggregates, 50-300 nm in diameter. Soft lipid nanovectors consisting of amphiphilic phytantriol molecules, which in water excess spontaneously self-assembly in 3D well-ordered inverse bicontinuous cubic bulk phase, were used as alternative carriers for vitamin B12. It was shown that about 30% of the vitamin added in the preparation of the soft lipid system was actually encapsulated in cubosomes and that no structural changes occurred upon loading. The Vitamin stabilizes the lipid system playing the role of its structure-forming element. The biocompatible nature, the stability and the feasibility of these systems make them good candidates as carriers for hydrophilic vitamins.
