Abstract
Inspired by natural resources, such as peptides and carbohydrates, glycopolypeptide biopolymer has recently emerged as a new form of biopolymer being recruited in various biomedical applications. Glycopolypeptides with well-defined secondary structures and pendant glycosides on the polypeptide backbone have sparked lots of research interest and they have an innate ability to self-assemble in diverse structures. The nanostructures of glycopolypeptides have also opened up new perspectives in biomedical applications due to their stable three-dimensional structures, high drug loading efficiency, excellent biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Although the development of glycopolypeptide-based nanocarriers is well-studied, their clinical translation is still limited. The present review highlights the preparation and characterization strategies related to glycopolypeptides-based copolymers, followed by a comprehensive discussion on their biomedical applications with a specific focus on drug delivery by various stimuli-responsive (e.g., pH, redox, conduction, and sugar) nanostructures, as well as their beneficial usage in diagnosis and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Polymers constitute a diverse class of macromolecules that have demonstrated their unique advantages to be utilized for drug or gene delivery applications. In particular, polymers with a highly ordered, hyperbranched structure─"dendrons"─offer significant benefits to the design of such nanomedicines. The incorporation of dendrons into block copolymer micelles can endow various unique properties that are not typically observed from linear polymer counterparts. Specifically, the dendritic structure induces the conical shape of unimers that form micelles, thereby improving the thermodynamic stability and achieving a low critical micelle concentration (CMC). Furthermore, through a high density of highly ordered functional groups, dendrons can enhance gene complexation, drug loading, and stimuli-responsive behavior. In addition, outward-branching dendrons can support a high density of nonfouling polymers, such as poly(ethylene glycol), for serum stability and variable densities of multifunctional groups for multivalent cellular targeting and interactions. In this paper, we review the design considerations for dendron-lipid nanoparticles and dendron micelles formed from amphiphilic block copolymers intended for gene transfection and cancer drug delivery applications. These technologies are early in preclinical development and, as with other nanomedicines, face many obstacles on the way to clinical adoption. Nevertheless, the utility of dendron micelles for drug delivery remains relatively underexplored, and we believe there are significant and dramatic advancements to be made in tumor targeting with these platforms.

Abstract
Coordination nanocage (CNC) incorporated gels have attracted enormous attention for the effective integration of micro-porosity, mechanical flexibility and processability; however, the understanding of their microscopic structure-property relationships remains unclear. Herein, CNCs with 24 surface grafted cholesterol groups are constructed precisely and their gelation can be manipulated upon the tunning of solvent polarities. Optically homogeneous organogels can be formed by introducing a certain amount of bad solvents into the solutions of hairy CNCs and the gelation can be reversed through temperature variation. Suggested from scattering and molecular dynamics studies, the solvophobic interaction-driven aggregation of cholesterol units contributes to the physical crosslinking of CNCs and finally the gelation of CNC solutions. The mechanical strength of the obtained gels is observed to be highly dependent on the flexibility of the organic linkers that bond the cholesterol units on the CNC surface. The effective interaction and dense packing of the cholesterol units in their aggregates highly rely on the degree of freedom of the cholesterol, which is controlled by the flexibility of the organic linkers that bond them on the CNC surface. The observed viscoelastic performance accompanied by the well-controlled mechanical strength of the organogels unambiguously demonstrates the potential for exploiting the synergistic physical correlations to fabricate novel functional materials from CNCs.

Abstract
Targeted delivery of therapeutics such as small molecule drugs or nucleic acids exclusively to the nucleus of diseased mammalian cells poses a significant challenge. The development of targeting ligands that can specifically enter certain cancer cells via a specific receptor-mediated endocytosis and then traffic exclusively to the nucleus to deliver the cargo inside it can achieve this goal. We have developed an end-functionalized shikimoylated-polypeptide with pendant shikimoyl moieties that can enter mammalian cells via the mannose receptors and are then exclusively trafficked into the nucleus. The presence of the shikimoyl group in the polypeptide, which traffics it exclusively to the nucleus, contrasts with the mannosylated or galactosylated glycopolypeptides that are distributed all over the cytoplasm or the mannose-6-phosphate containing polypeptide that is exclusively trafficked to the lysosome. Using challenge experiments, we demonstrate that these polypeptides can enter both dendritic and cancer cells through mannose-receptors and subsequently enter the cell nucleus via the interaction with a nuclear pore complex (NPC) protein importin-α/β1. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first example of a synthetic polyvalent glycopolypeptide mimic that performs the dual function of entering mammalian cells through specific receptors and subsequently traffics into the nucleus. The conjugation of these end-functionalized shikimoylated-polypeptides to other biological entities, such as recombinant anticancer drugs, DNA, RNA, and CRISPR-Cas9, may be a suitable alternative for delivery of these biological entities into cells affected by cancer and other genetic diseases.

Abstract
A library of 14 dynamic glycopeptide amphiphilic dendrimers composed of 14 hydrophilic and bioactive saccharides (seven kinds) as dendrons and 7 hydrophobic peptides (di- and tetrapeptides) as arms with β-cyclodextrin (CD) as a core were facially designed and synthesized in several steps. Fourteen saccharides were first conjugated to the C-2 and C-3 positions of CD, forming glycodendrons. Subsequently, seven oligopeptide arms were introduced at the C-6 positions of a CD moiety by an acylhydrazone dynamic covalent bond, resulting in unique Janus amphiphilic glycopeptide dendrimers with precise and varied molecular structures. The kinds of hydrophilic parts of saccharides and hydrophobic parts of peptides were easily varied to prepare a series of amphiphilic Janus glycopeptide dendrimers. Intriguingly, these obtained amphiphilic glycopeptide dendrimers showcased very different self-assembly behaviors from the traditional amphiphilic linear block-copolymers and self-assembled into different glyco-nanostructures with controllable morphologies including glycospheres, worm-like micelles, and fibers depending upon the repeat unit ratio of saccharides and phenylalanine. Both glycodendrons and glycopeptide assemblies displayed strong and specific recognitions with C-type mannose-specific lectin. Moreover, these glycopeptide nanomaterials can encapsulate exemplary hydrophobic molecules such as Nile red (NR). The dye-loaded glycopeptide nanostructures showed a pH-controllable release behavior around the physiological and acidic tumor environment. Furthermore, cell experiments demonstrated that such glyco-nanostructures can further facilitate the functions of a model drug of the pyridone agent to reduce the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin -1beta (IL-1β) in the primary peritoneal macrophages via encapsulating drugs. Considering all the abovementioned advantages including unique and precise structures, bioactivity, targeting, and controllable cargo release, we believe that these findings can not only enrich the library of glycopeptides but also provide a new avenue to the fabrication of smart and structure-controllable glyco-nanomaterials which hold great potential biological applications such as targeted delivery and release of therapeutic and bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Carbohydrates play essential structural and biochemical roles in all living organisms. Glycopolymers are attractive as well-defined biomimetic analogs to study carbohydrate-dependent processes, and are widely applicable biocompatible materials in their own right. Glycopolypeptides have shown great promise in this area since they are closer structural mimics of natural glycoproteins than other synthetic glycopolymers and can serve as carriers for biologically active carbohydrates. This review highlights advances in the area of design and synthesis of such materials, and their biomedical applications in therapeutic delivery, tissue engineering, and beyond.

Abstract
Receptors of carbohydrate mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) are overexpressed in specific cancer cells (such as breast cancer) and are also involved in the trafficking of mannose-6-phosphate labeled proteins exclusively onto lysosomes via cell surface M6P receptor (CI-MPR) mediated endocytosis. Herein, for the first time, mannose-6-phosphate glycopolypeptide (M6PGP)-based bioactive and stimuli-responsive nanocarriers are reported. They are selectively taken up via receptor-mediated endocytosis, and trafficked to lysosomes where they are subsequently degraded by pH or enzymes, leading to the release of the cargo inside the lysosomes. Two different amphiphilic M6P block copolymers M6PGP15-APPO44 and M6PGP15-(PCL25)2 were synthesized by click reaction of the alkyne end-functionalized M6PGP15 with pH-responsive biocompatible azide end-functionalized acetal PPO and azide end-functionalized branched PCL, respectively. In water, the amphiphilic M6P-glycopolypeptide block copolymers self-assembled into micellar nanostructures, as was evidenced by DLS, TEM, AFM, and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. These micellar systems were competent to encapsulate the hydrophobic dye rhodamine-B-octadecyl ester, which was used as the model drug. They were stable at physiological pH but were found to disassemble at acidic pH (for M6PGP15-APPO44) or in the presence of esterase (for M6PGP15-(PCL25)2). These M6PGP based micellar nanoparticles can selectively target lysosomes in cancerous cells such as MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Finally, we demonstrate the clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway of the native FL-M6PGP polymer and RBOE loaded M6PGP micellar-nanocarriers, and selective trafficking of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lysosomes, demonstrating their potential applicability toward receptor-mediated lysosomal cargo delivery.

Abstract
Recently, fluorescent macromolecules with AIE effect have attracted considerable attentions due to their remarkable optical properties. In particular, designing novel tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based bioconjugates to construct various self-assembled nanostructures and to expand the applications have aroused great interests. Herein, we report the self-assembly of TPE-based amphiphilic glycopolypeptide bioconjugate for bioimaging and tracing of live cells. The resultant amphiphilic fluorescent glycopolypeptide P1tM-TPE could self-assemble into different nanostructures, including vesicles, spindles and porous nanosheets, which mainly depends on the water fraction in DMSO/water mixture. At the same time, the vesicles can transform to spindles when increasing the water fractions. Both the vesicles and spindles are prone to be effectively internalized by macrophages, and all of them performed outstanding intracellular fluorescent retention properties. As far as we know, this is the first report on self-assembly and applications of glycopolypeptide-TPE bioconjugate, which will deepen our understanding on the self-assembly mechanism of TPE-based bioconjugates and provide a new way for fabricating functional fluorescent materials to monitor various biological processes.

Abstract
Inspired by the presence of diverse carbohydrates on the surface of biological systems, we present herein a method for the synthesis of sugar-bearing polymers derived from renewable cellulose. In this paper, novel glycosylated cellulose derivatives were successfully synthesized containing a series of subsequent reactions: (1) synthesis of cellulose derivatives with pendant hydroxyl groups via nucleophilic substitution; (2) further sequential reactions containing a novel TEMPO/[bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene (BAIB)-mediated oxidation of pendant hydroxyl groups, Schiff base formation and reduction in one-pot reaction; and (3) thiol-ene click reaction as an efficient tool to generate cellulose derivatives with pendant glucosyl groups. Furthermore, the glucosyl groups were only linked with the C6 position of anhydroglucose units (AGUs) of cellulose. Moreover, the glycosylated cellulose derivatives could be reversibly cross-linked by 1,4-phenylenediboronic acid at pH 10 and dissociated into single polymer chains by using glucose, which allow such glycolated cellulose derivatives to be interesting responsive materials.

Abstract
An oligo(ethylene glycol)-based star polymer of N2 -(OEG-C)3 with fluorescent coumarin as hydrophobic end groups and dual tertiary amines as the star center is designed and synthesized. Owing to its amphiphilic nature of N2 -(OEG-C)3 , it will self-assemble into hollow vesicles with coumarin groups dispersed in the hydrophobic membrane and exhibits CO2 -responsive behavior due to the protonation of amine centers with CO2 . More importantly, coumarin moieties can either form non-crosslinking with γ-cyclodextrin via the 2/1 host-guest inclusion, or covalently photodimerized by 365 nm light, offering a tunable crosslinking pattern in the hydrophobic membrane and thus adjusting its CO2 -stimulated reorganization and disassembly behaviors of these vesicles in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Lectins, a distinct group of glycan-binding proteins, play a prominent role in the immune system ranging from pathogen recognition and tuning of inflammation to cell adhesion or cellular signalling. The possibilities of their detailed study expanded along with the rapid development of biomaterials in the last decade. The immense knowledge of all aspects of glycan-lectin interactions both in vitro and in vivo may be efficiently used in bioimaging, targeted drug delivery, diagnostic and analytic biological methods. Practically applicable examples comprise photoluminescence and optical biosensors, ingenious three-dimensional carbohydrate microarrays for high-throughput screening, matrices for magnetic resonance imaging, targeted hyperthermal treatment of cancer tissues, selective inhibitors of bacterial toxins and pathogen-recognising lectin receptors, and many others. This review aims to present an up-to-date systematic overview of glycan-decorated biomaterials promising for interactions with lectins, especially those applicable in biology, biotechnology or medicine. The lectins of interest include galectin-1, -3 and -7 participating in tumour progression, bacterial lectins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA-IL), E. coli (Fim-H) and Clostridium botulinum (HA33) or DC-SIGN, receptors of macrophages and dendritic cells. The spectrum of lectin-binding biomaterials covered herein ranges from glycosylated organic structures, calixarene and fullerene cores over glycopeptides and glycoproteins, functionalised carbohydrate scaffolds of cyclodextrin or chitin to self-assembling glycopolymer clusters, gels, micelles and liposomes. Glyconanoparticles, glycan arrays, and other biomaterials with a solid core are described in detail, including inorganic matrices like hydroxyapatite or stainless steel for bioimplants.

Abstract
Synthetic glycopolypeptides are versatile glycopolymers used to conceive bioinspired nanoassemblies. In this work, novel amphiphilic glycopolypeptides were designed to incorporate lactose or galactan in order to prepare polymeric nanoassemblies with sizes below 50 nm. The bioactivity of the two different outer surface sugar units was evaluated by defining glycan relative binding affinities to human galectins 1 and 3. A specific multivalent effect was found only for polymeric nanoparticles displaying galactan with a significant increase of the binding activity as compared to free glycan in solution. Such synthetic designs present great potential as therapeutic tools to address galectin related pathologies.

Abstract
A series of telechelic supramolecular amphiphiles [POSS-Azo8@(β-CD-PDMAEMA)1→8] was accomplished by orthogonally coupling the multiarm host polymer β-cyclodextrin-poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (β-CD-PDMAEMA) with an octatelechelic guest molecule azobenzene modified-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS-Azo8) under different host-guest ratios. These telechelic supramolecular amphiphiles possess a rigid core and flexible corona. Increasing the multiarm host polymer coupled onto the rigid POSS core made the molecular architecture tend to be symmetrical and spherical. POSS-Azo8@[β-CD-PDMAEMA]1→8 could self-assemble into diverse morphologies evolving from spherical micelles, wormlike micelles, and branched aggregates to bowl-shaped vesicles. Distinct from the traditional linear amphiphilic polymers, we discovered that the self-assembly of POSS-Azo8@[β-CD-PDMAEMA]1→8 was dominantly regulated by their molecular architectures instead of hydrophilicity, which has also been verified using computer simulation results.

Abstract
Glycopolypeptide-based self-assembled nano-/microstructures with surface-tethered carbohydrates are excellent mimics of glycoproteins on the cell surface. To expand the broad repertoire of glycopolypeptide-based supramolecular soft structures such as polymersomes formed via self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers, we have developed a new class of polyionic complex vesicles (PICsomes) with glycopolypeptides grafted on the external surface. Oppositely charged hydrophilic block copolymers of glycopolypeptide20-b-poly-l-lysine100 and PEG2k-b-poly-l-glutamate100 [PEG = poly(ethylene glycol)] were synthesized using a combination of ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides and "click" chemistry. Under physiological conditions, the catiomer and aniomer self-assemble to form glycopolypeptide-conjugated PICsomes (GP-PICsomes) of micrometer dimensions. Electron and atomic force microscopy suggests a hollow morphology of the PICsomes, with inner aqueous pool (core) and peripheral PIC (shell) regions. Owing to their relatively large (∼micrometers) size, the hollowness of the supramolecular structure could be established via fluorescence microscopy of single GP-PICsomes, both in solution and under dry conditions, using spatially distributed fluorescent probes. Furthermore, the dynamics of single PICsomes in solution could be imaged in real time, which also allowed us to test for multivalent interactions between PICsomes mediated by a carbohydrate (mannose)-binding protein (lectin, Con-A). The immediate association of several GP-PICsomes in the presence of Con-A and their eventual aggregation to form large insoluble aggregate clusters reveal that upon self-assembly carbohydrate moieties protrude on the outer surface which retains their biochemical activity. Challenge experiments with excess mannose reveal fast deaggregation of GP-PICsomes as opposed to that in the presence of excess galactose, which further establishes the specificity of lectin-mediated polyvalent interactions of the GP-PICsomes.

Abstract
Polypeptoids represent a significant class of synthetic analogues of natural polypeptides with potential biomimetic applications in materials, catalysis, and pharmaceuticals, but their simple and general synthesis still remains a key challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that Ugi reaction of natural amino acids leads to structurally diverse polypeptoids, including γ- and δ-, as well as poly(ε-peptoid)s, under mild conditions (open to air, room temperature, and catalyst free). Moreover, this strategy also offers manifold opportunities to introduce functional groups such as fluorescent and clickable alkenes groups into polypeptoids. Such poly(ε-peptoid)s not only exhibit good biocompatibility and antibacterial activity, but perform very effectively as a drug-delivery system. The bacterial inhibition rate of poly(ε-peptoid) was up to 88.8% at concentration of 20 μg mL-1 in comparison to 61.8% of the poly(ε-lysine) control. Overall, this study offers us a general methodology toward facile preparation of polypeptoids for bioapplications.

Abstract
The ubiquitous expression of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor on the majority of human cells makes it a valid target in the quest to deliver therapeutics selectively to the lysosome. In this work end-functionalized polyvalent mannose-6-phosphate glycopolypeptides (M6P-GPs) with high molecular weights (up to 22 kDa) have been synthesized via NCA polymerization. These synthetic M6P-GPs were found to display minimal toxicity to cells in vitro and show exceptional selectivity for trafficking into lysosomes in various cell lines. Comparison of the cellular uptake behavior of M6P-GP and the corresponding mannose-GP polymer reveals that incorporation of the phosphate moiety at the 6-position of mannose completely alters its trafficking behavior and becomes exclusively lysosome specific. We also demonstrate that trafficking of M6P-GPs in mammalian cells is likely associated with the CI-MPR receptor pathway.

Abstract
Nanocarriers with carbohydrates on the surface represent a very interesting class of drug-delivery vehicles because carbohydrates are involved in biomolecular recognition events in vivo. We have synthesized biocompatible miktoarm star copolymers comprising glycopolypeptide and poly(ε-caprolactone) chains using ring-opening polymerization and "click chemistry". The amphiphilic copolymers were self-assembled in water into morphologies such as nanorods, polymersomes, and micelles with carbohydrates displayed on the surface. We demonstrate that the formation of nanostructure could be tuned by chain length of the blocks and was not affected by the type of sugar residue. These nanostructures were characterized in detail using a variety of techniques such as TEM, AFM, cryogenic electron microscopy, spectrally resolved fluorescence imaging, and dye encapsulation techniques. We show that it is possible to sequester both hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic dyes within the nanostructures. Finally, we show that these noncytotoxic mannosylated rods and polymersomes were selectively and efficiently taken up by MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, demonstrating their potential as nanocarriers for drug delivery.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are involved in a variety of biological processes. The ability of sugars to form a large number of hydrogen bonds has made them important components for supramolecular chemistry. We discuss recent advances in the use of carbohydrates in supramolecular chemistry and reveal that carbohydrates are useful building blocks for the stabilization of complex architectures. Systems are presented according to the scaffold that supports the glyco-conjugate: organic macrocycles, dendrimers, nanomaterials, and polymers are considered. Glyco-conjugates can form host-guest complexes, and can self-assemble by using carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions and other weak interactions such as π-π interactions. Finally, complex supramolecular architectures based on carbohydrate-protein interactions are discussed.

Abstract
Dendritic molecules are an exciting research topic because of their highly branched architecture, multiple functional groups on the periphery, and very pertinent features for various applications. Self-assembling dendritic amphiphiles have produced different nanostructures with unique morphologies and properties. Since their self-assembly in water is greatly relevant for biomedical applications, researchers have been looking for a way to rationally design dendritic amphiphiles for the last few decades. We review here some recent developments from investigations on the self-assembly of dendritic amphiphiles into various nanostructures in water on the molecular level. The main content of the review is divided into sections according to the different nanostructure morphologies resulting from the dendritic amphiphiles' self-assembly. Finally, we conclude with some remarks that highlight the self-assembling features of these dendritic amphiphiles.

Abstract
The remarkable capability of nature to design and create excellent self-assembled nano-structures, especially in the biological world, has motivated chemists to mimic such systems with synthetic molecular and supramolecular systems. The hierarchically organized self-assembly of low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) based on non-covalent interactions has been proven to be a useful tool in the development of well-defined nanostructures. Among these, the self-assembly of sugar-derived LMWGs has received immense attention because of their propensity to furnish biocompatible, hierarchical, supramolecular architectures that are macroscopically expressed in gel formation. This review sheds light on various aspects of sugar-derived LMWGs, uncovering their mechanisms of gelation, structural analysis, and tailorable properties, and their diverse applications such as stimuli-responsiveness, sensing, self-healing, environmental problems, and nano and biomaterials synthesis.

Abstract
Glycopolypeptide-based polymersomes have promising applications as vehicles for targeted drug delivery because they are capable of encapsulating different pharmaceuticals of diverse polarity as well as interacting with specific cell surfaces due to their hollow structural morphology and bioactive surfaces. We have synthesized glycopolypeptide-b-poly(propylene oxide) by ROP of glyco-N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) using the hydrophobic amine-terminated poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) as the initiator. This block copolymer is composed of an FDA-approved PPO hydrophobic block in conjugation with hydrophilic glycopolypeptides which are expected to be biocompatible. We demonstrate the formation of glycopolypeptide-based polymersomes from the self-assembly of glycopolypeptide-b-poly(propylene oxide) in which the presence of an ordered helical glycopolypeptide segment is required for their self-assembly into spherical nanoscale (∼50 nm) polymersomes. The polymersomes were characterized in detail using a variety of techniques such as TEM, AFM, cryo-SEM, and light-scattering measurements. As a model for drugs, both hydrophobic (RBOE) and hydrophilic (calcein) dyes have been incorporated within the polymersomes from solution. To substantiate the simultaneous entrapment of the two dyes, spectrally resolved fluorescence microscopy was performed on the glycopeptide polymersomes cast on a glass substrate. We show that it is possible to visualize individual nanoscale polymersomes and effectively probe the dyes' colocalization and energy-transfer behaviors therein as well as investigate the variation in dual-dye encapsulation over a large number of single polymersomes. Finally, we show that the galactose moieties present on the surface can specifically recognize lectin RCA120, which reveals that the polymersomes' surface is indeed biologically active.

Abstract
Glycopolypeptides with a defined secondary structure are of significance in understanding biological phenomena. Synthetic glycopolypeptides, or polypeptides featuring pendant carbohydrate moieties, have been of particular interest in the field of tissue engineering and drug delivery. In this work, we have synthesized charged water-soluble glycopolypeptides that adopt a helical conformation in water. This was carried out by the synthesis of a glyco-N-carboxyanhydride (glyco-NCA) containing an azide group at the sixth position of the carbohydrate ring. Subsequently, the NCA was polymerized to obtain azide-containing glycopolypeptides having good control over molecular weight and polydispersity index (PDI) in high yields. We were also able to control the incorporation of the azide group by synthesizing random co-glycopolypeptide containing 6-deoxy-6-azido and regular 6-OAc functionalized glucose. This azide functionality allows for the easy attachment of a bioactive group, which could potentially enhance the biological activity of the glycopolypeptide. We were able to obtain water-soluble charged glycopolypeptides by both reducing the azide groups into amines and using CuAAC with propargylamine. These charged glycopolypeptides were shown to have a helical conformation in water. Preliminary studies showed that these charged glycopolypeptides showed good biocompatibility and were efficiently taken up by HepG2 cells.
