Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) delivery systems are promising for targeted drug delivery, imaging, and chemo-hyperthermia of cancer; however, their uses remain limited primarily due to their toxicity associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, targeted delivery, and biodegradation. Attempts employing polymer coatings to minimize the toxicity, along with other challenges, have had limited success. We designed a novel yet generic 'one-for-all' polypropylene sulphide (PPS) coated magnetic nano-delivery system (80 ± 15 nm) as a multi-faceted approach for significant biocompatibility improvement, loading of multiple drugs, ROS-responsive delivery, and combined chemo-hyperthermia therapy for biomedical applications. Three distinct MNP systems (15 ± 1 nm) were fabricated, coated with PPS polymer, and investigated to validate our hypothesis and design. Simultaneous degradation of MNPs and PPS coatings with ROS-scavenging characteristics boosted the biocompatibility of MNPs 2-3 times towards non-cancerous fibroblasts (NIH3T3) and human epithelial cells (HEK293). In an alternating magnetic field, PPS-MNPs (MnFe) had the strongest heating characteristics (SAR value of 240 W g-1). PPS-MNP drug-loaded NPs were efficiently internalised into cells and released 80% of the drugs under tumor microenvironment-mimicking (pH 5-7, ROS) conditions, and demonstrated effective chemo-hyperthermia (45 °C) application for breast cancer cells with 95% cell death in combined treatment vs. 55% and 30% cell death in only hyperthermia and chemotherapy respectively.

Abstract
Dysfunction of collecting lymphatic vessel pumping is associated with an array of pathologies. S-(-)-Bay K8644 (BayK), a small-molecule agonist of L-type calcium channels, improves vessel contractility ex vivo but has been left unexplored in vivo because of poor lymphatic access and risk of deleterious off-target effects. When formulated within lymph-draining nanoparticles (NPs), BayK acutely improved lymphatic vessel function, effects not seen from treatment with BayK in its free form. By preventing rapid drug access to the circulation, NP formulation also reduced BayK's dose-limiting side effects. When applied to a mouse model of lymphedema, treatment with BayK formulated in lymph-draining NPs, but not free BayK, improved pumping pressure generated by intact lymphatic vessels and tissue remodeling associated with the pathology. This work reveals the utility of a lymph-targeting NP platform to pharmacologically enhance lymphatic pumping in vivo and highlights a promising approach to treating lymphatic dysfunction.

Abstract
Background Tumor-draining lymph nodes (TdLNs) are critical in the regulation of local and systemic antitumor T cell immunity and are implicated in coordinating responses to immunomodulatory therapies. Methods Biomaterial nanoparticles that deliver chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel to TdLNs were leveraged to explore its effects in combination and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) antibody immunotherapy to determine the benefit of TdLN-directed chemoimmunotherapy on tumor control. Results Accumulation of immunotherapeutic drugs in combination within TdLNs synergistically enhanced systemic T cell responses that led to improved control of local and disseminated disease and enhanced survival in multiple murine breast tumor models. Conclusions These findings suggest a previously underappreciated role of secondary lymphoid tissues in mediating effects of chemoimmunotherapy and demonstrate the potential for nanotechnology to unleashing drug synergies via lymph node targeted delivery to elicit improved response of breast and other cancers.

Abstract
The lymphatic system plays an indispensable role in humoral balance, lipid metabolism, and immune regulation. The lymph nodes (LNs) are known as the primary sites of tumor metastasis and the metastatic LNs largely affected the prognosis of the patiens. A well-designed lymphatic-targeted system favors disease treatment as well as vaccination efficacy. In recent years, development of nanotechnologies and emerging biomaterials have gained increasing attention in developing lymph-node-targeted drug-delivery systems. By mimicking the endogenous macromolecules or lipid conjugates, lymph-node-targeted nanocarries hold potential for disease diagnosis and tumor therapy. This review gives an introduction to the physiological functions of LNs and the roles of LNs in diseases, followed by a review of typical lymph-node-targeted nanomaterial-based drug-delivery systems (e.g., liposomes, micelles, inorganic nanomaterials, hydrogel, and nanocapsules). Future perspectives and conclusions concerned with lymph-node-targeted drug-delivery systems are also provided.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) causes damaging inflammation in multiple organs via the accumulation of immune complexes. These complexes activate plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) via toll-like receptors (TLRs), contributing to disease pathogenesis by driving the secretion of inflammatory type I interferons (IFNs). Antimalarial drugs, such as chloroquine (CQ), are TLR antagonists used to alleviate inflammation in SLE. However, they require ∼3 months of continuous use before achieving therapeutic efficacy and can accumulate in the retinal pigment epithelium with chronic use, resulting in retinopathy. We hypothesized that poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(propylene sulfide) filamentous nanocarriers, filomicelles (FMs), could directly deliver CQ to pDCs via passive, morphology-based targeting to concentrate drug delivery to specific immune cells, improve drug activity by increased inhibition of type I IFN, and enhance efficacy per dose. Healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were treated with soluble CQ or CQ-loaded FMs, stimulated with TLR agonists or SLE patient sera, and type I IFN secretion was quantified via multi-subtype IFN-α ELISA and MX1 gene expression using real-time reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Our results showed that 50 μg CQ/mg FM decreased MX1 expression and IFN-α production after TLR activation with either synthetic nucleic acid agonists or immune complex-rich sera from SLE patients. Cellular uptake and biodistribution studies showed that FMs preferentially accumulate in human pDCs and monocytes in vitro and in tissues frequently damaged in SLE patients (i.e., kidneys), while sparing the eye in vivo. These results showed that nanocarrier morphology enables drug delivery, and CQ-FMs may be equally effective and more targeted than soluble CQ at inhibiting SLE-relevant pathways.

Abstract
The mechanisms of lymphedema development are not well understood, but emerging evidence highlights the crucial role the immune system plays in driving its progression. It is well known that lymphatic function deteriorates as lymphedema progresses; however, the connection between this progressive loss of function and the immune-driven changes that characterize the disease has not been well established. In this study, we assess changes in leukocyte populations in lymph nodes within the lymphatic drainage basin of the tissue injury site (draining lymph nodes, dLNs) using a mouse tail model of lymphedema in which a pair of draining collecting vessels are left intact. We additionally quantify lymphatic pump function using established near infrared (NIR) lymphatic imaging methods and lymph-draining nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized and employed by our team for lymphatic tissue drug delivery applications to measure lymphatic transport to and resulting NP accumulation within dLNs associated with swelling following surgery. When applied to assess the effects of the anti-inflammatory drug bestatin, which has been previously shown to be a possible treatment for lymphedema, we find lymph-draining NP accumulation within dLNs and lymphatic function to increase as lymphedema progresses, but no significant effect on leukocyte populations in dLNs or tail swelling. These results suggest that ameliorating this loss of lymphatic function is not sufficient to reverse swelling in this surgically induced disease model that better recapitulates the extent of lymphatic injury seen in human lymphedema. It also suggests that loss of lymphatic function during lymphedema may be driven by immune-mediated mechanisms coordinated in dLNs. Our work indicates that addressing both lymphatic vessel dysfunction and immune cell expansion within dLNs may be required to prevent or reverse lymphedema when partial lymphatic function is sustained.

Abstract
Inflammation is the biological response of immune system to protect living organisms from injurious factors. However, excessive and uncontrolled inflammation is implicated in a variety of devastating chronic diseases including atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Improved understanding of inflammatory response has unveiled a rich assortment of anti-inflammatory therapeutics for the treatment and management of relevant chronic diseases. Notwithstanding these successes, clinical outcomes are variable among patients and serious adverse effects are often observed. Moreover, there exist some limitations for clinical anti-inflammatory therapeutics such as aqueous insolubility, low bioavailability, off-target effects, and poor accessibility to subcellular compartments. To address these challenges, the rational design of inflammation-specific drug delivery systems (DDSs) holds significant promise. Moreover, as compared to normal tissues, inflamed tissue-associated pathological milieu (e.g., oxidative stress, acidic pH, and overexpressed enzymes) provides vital biochemical stimuli for triggered delivery of anti-inflammatory agents in a spatiotemporally controlled manner. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the development of anti-inflammatory DDSs with built-in pathological inflammation-specific responsiveness for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Inflammation is intimately related to the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore anti-inflammatory therapy is a very promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of these inflammatory diseases. To overcome the shortcomings of existing anti-inflammatory agents and their traditional formulations, such as nonspecific tissue distribution and uncontrolled drug release, bioresponsive drug delivery systems have received much attention in recent years. In this review, we first provide a brief introduction of the pathogenesis of inflammation, with an emphasis on representative inflammatory cells and mediators in inflammatory microenvironments that serve as pathological fundamentals for rational design of bioresponsive carriers. Then we discuss different materials and delivery systems responsive to inflammation-associated biochemical signals, such as pH, reactive oxygen species, and specific enzymes. Also, applications of various bioresponsive drug delivery systems in the treatment of typical acute and chronic inflammatory diseases are described. Finally, crucial challenges in the future development and clinical translation of bioresponsive anti-inflammatory drug delivery systems are highlighted.

Targeting immunomodulatory drugs to therapeutically relevant tissues offers a way to overcome these challenges by potentially enabling enhanced therapeutic efficacy and decreased incidence of side effects. Research highlighting the importance of lymphatic tissues in the response to immunotherapy has increased interest in the application of engineered drug delivery systems (DDSs) to enable specific targeting of immunomodulators to lymphatic tissues and cells that they house. To this end, a variety of DDS platforms have been developed that enable more efficient uptake into lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes to provide targeted modulation of the immune response to cancer. This can occur either by delivery of immunotherapeutics to lymphatics tissues or by direct modulation of the lymphatic vasculature itself due to their direct involvement in tumor immune processes. This review will highlight DDS platforms that, by enabling the activities of cancer vaccines, chemotherapeutics, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) antibodies, and anti- or pro-lymphangiogenic factors to lymphatic tissues through directed delivery and controlled release, augment cancer immunotherapy.

Lymph-directed nitric oxide increases immune cell access to lymph-borne nanoscale solutes. Biomaterials 2020; 265:120411.

Abstract
Lymph nodes (LNs) are immune organs housing high concentrations of lymphocytes, making them critical targets for therapeutic immunomodulation in a wide variety of diseases. While there is great interest in targeted drug delivery to LNs, many nanoscale drug delivery carriers have limited access to parenchymal resident immune cells compared to small molecules, limiting their efficacy. Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent regulator of vascular and lymphatic transport and a promising candidate for modulating nanocarrier access to LNs, but its lymphatic accumulation is limited by its low molecular weight and high reactivity. In this work, we employ S-nitrosated nanoparticles (SNO-NP), a lymphatic-targeted delivery system for controlled NO release, to investigate the effect of NO application on molecule accumulation and distribution within the LN. We evaluated the LN accumulation, spatial distribution, and cellular distribution of a panel of fluorescent tracers after intradermal administration alongside SNO-NP or a small molecule NO donor. While SNO-NP did not alter total tracer accumulation in draining lymph nodes (dLNs) or affect active cellular transport of large molecules from the injection site, its application enhanced the penetration of nanoscale 30 nm dextrans into the LN and their subsequent uptake by LN-resident lymphocytes, while nontargeted NO delivery did not. These results further extended to a peptide-conjugated NP drug delivery system, which showed enhanced uptake by B cells and dendritic cells when administered alongside SNO-NP. Together, these results highlight the utility of LN-targeted NO application for the enhancement of nanocarrier access to therapeutically relevant LN-resident immune cells, making NO a potentially useful tool for improving LN drug delivery and immune responses.

Abstract
The new era of nanotechnology has produced advanced nanomaterials applicable to various fields of medicine, including diagnostic bio-imaging, chemotherapy, targeted drug delivery, and biosensors. Various materials are formed into nanoparticles, such as gold nanomaterials, carbon quantum dots, and liposomes. The nanomaterials have been functionalized and widely used because they are biocompatible and easy to design and prepare. This review mainly focuses on nanomaterials responsive to the external stimuli used in drug-delivery systems. To overcome the drawbacks of conventional therapeutics to a tumor, the dual- and multi-responsive behaviors of nanoparticles have been harnessed to improve efficiency from a drug delivery point of view. Issues and future research related to these nanomaterial-based stimuli sensitivities and the scope of stimuli-responsive systems for nanomedicine applications are discussed.

Abstract
Therapeutic delivery selectively to lymph nodes has the potential to address a variety of unmet clinical needs. However, owing to the unique structure of the lymphatics and the size-restrictive nature of the lymph node reticular network, delivering cargo to specific cells in the lymph node cortex and paracortex is difficult. Here, we describe a delivery system to overcome lymphatic and intra-lymph node transport barriers by combining nanoparticles that are rapidly conveyed to draining lymph nodes after administration in peripheral tissues with programmable degradable linkers. This platform enables the controlled release of intra-lymph-mobile small-molecular cargo, which can reach vastly more immune cells throughout the lymph node than either the particles or free compounds alone. The release rate can be programmed, allowing access to different lymph node structures and therefore specific lymphocyte subpopulations. We are thus able to alter the subtypes of drugged lymph node cells to improve immunotherapeutic effects.

Abstract
A multistimuli-responsive supramolecular copolymerization is reported. The copolymerization is driven by hydrogen bond encoded β-sheet-based charge co-assembly into 1D nanorods in water, using glutamic acid or lysine residues in either of the peptide comonomers. The incorporation of methionine as hydrophobic amino acid supports β-sheet formation, but oxidation of the thioether side-chain to a sulfoxide functional group destabilizes the β-sheet ordered domains and induces disassembly of the supramolecular polymers. Using H2 O2 as reactive oxygen species, the time scale and kinetics of the oxidative disassembly are probed. Compared to the charge neutral homopolymers, it is found that the oxidative disassembly of the charged ampholytic copolymers is up to two times faster and is operative at neutral pH. The strategy is therefore an important addition to the growing field of amphiphilic polythioether containing (macro)molecular building blocks, particularly in view of tuning their oxidation induced disassembly which tends to be notoriously slow and requires high concentrations of reactive oxygen species or acidic reaction media.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases and disorders seriously impact memory and cognition and can become life-threatening. Current medical techniques attempt to combat these detrimental effects mainly through the administration of neuromedicine. However, drug efficacy is limited by rapid dispersal of the drugs to off-target sites while the site of administration is prone to overdose. Many neuropathological conditions are accompanied by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the inflammatory response. Accordingly, ROS-responsive drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising solution. To guide intelligent and comprehensive design of ROS-responsive drug delivery systems, this review article discusses the two following topics: (1) the biology of ROS in both healthy and diseased nervous systems and (2) recent developments in ROS-responsive, drug delivery system design. Overall, this review article would assist efforts to make better decisions about designing ROS-responsive, neural drug delivery systems, including the selection of ROS-responsive functional groups.

Abstract
A significant fraction of the total immune cells in the body are located in several hundred lymph nodes, in which lymphocyte accumulation, activation and proliferation are organized. Therefore, targeting lymph nodes provides the possibility to directly deliver drugs to lymphocytes and lymph node-resident cells and thus to modify the adaptive immune response. However, owing to the structure and anatomy of lymph nodes, as well as the distinct localization and migration of the different cell types within the lymph node, it is difficult to access specific cell populations by delivering free drugs. Materials can be used as instructive delivery vehicles to achieve accumulation of drugs in the lymph nodes and to target specific lymph node-resident cell subtypes. In this Review, we describe the compartmental architecture of lymph nodes and the cell and fluid transport mechanisms to and from lymph nodes. We discuss the different entry routes into lymph nodes and how they can be explored for drug delivery, including the lymphatics, blood capillaries, high endothelial venules, cell-mediated pathways, homing of circulating lymphocytes and direct lymph node injection. We examine different nanoscale and microscale materials for the targeting of specific immune cells and highlight their potential for the treatment of immune dysfunction and for cancer immunotherapy. Finally, we give an outlook to the field, exploring how lymph node targeting can be improved by the use of materials.

Abstract
H₂O₂-sensitive nanofilms composed of DNA and hemin-appended poly(ethyleneimine) (H-PEI) were prepared by a layer-by-layer deposition of DNA and H-PEI through an electrostatic interaction. The (H-PEI/DNA)₅ film was decomposed by addition of 10 mM H₂O₂. H₂O₂-induced decomposition was also confirmed in the hemin-containing (PEI/DNA)₅ in which hemin molecules were adsorbed by a noncovalent bond to the nanofilm. On the other hand, the (PEI/DNA)₅ film containing no hemin and the (H-PEI/PSS)₅ film using PSS instead of DNA did not decompose even with 100 mM H₂O₂. The mechanism of nanofilm decomposition was thought that more reactive oxygen species (ROS) was formed by reaction of hemin and H₂O₂ and then the ROS caused DNA cleavage. As a result (H-PEI/DNA)₅ and hemin-containing (PEI/DNA)₅ films were decomposed. The decomposition rate of these nanofilms were depended on concentration of H₂O₂, modification ratio of hemin, pH, and ionic strength.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a therapeutic implicated for the treatment of diseases afflicting lymphatic tissues, which range from infectious and cardiovascular diseases to cancer. Existing technologies available for NO therapy, however, provide poor bioactivity within lymphatic tissues. In this work, we address this technology gap with a NO encapsulation and delivery strategy leveraging the formation of S-nitrosothiols on lymphatic-targeting pluronic-stabilized, poly(propylene sulfide)-core nanoparticles (SNO-NP). We evaluated in vivo the lymphatic versus systemic delivery of NO resulting from intradermal administration of SNO-NP benchmarked against a commonly used, commercially available small molecule S-nitrosothiol NO donor, examined signs of toxicity systemically as well as localized to the site of injection, and investigated SNO effects on lymphatic transport and NP uptake by lymph node (LN)-resident cells. Donation of NO from SNO-NP, which scaled in proportion to the total administered dose, enhanced LN accumulation by two orders of magnitude without substantially reducing lymphatic transport of NP or the viability and extent of NP uptake by LN-resident cells. Additionally, NO delivery by SNO-NP was accompanied by low-to-negligible NO accumulation in systemic tissues with no apparent inflammation. These results suggest the utility and selectivity of SNO-NP for the targeted treatment of NO-regulated diseases that afflict lymphatic tissues. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The present study describes the synthesis, self-assembly and responsiveness to glucose and lactic acid of biocompatible and biodegradable block copolymer micelles using phenylboronic ester as the linkage between hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The PCL block with pendant phenylboronic acid (PCLBA) was synthesized by combining ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) ring-opening polymerisation (ROP), using 4-hydroxymethyl(phenylboronic) acid pinacolate as the initiator, and pinacol deprotection. The glucose-terminated PEO (PEOGlc) was prepared by 1,3-dipolar, Cu(i)-catalysed, alkyne-azide cycloaddition of α-methoxy-ω-propargyl poly(ethylene oxide) and 1-azido-1-deoxy-d-glucopyranose. All new compounds were evaluated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and by SEC analysis. PCLBA and PEOGlc blocks were linked in NaOH acetone solution, which was indirectly confirmed by Alizarin Red S fluorescence and directly by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Dialysis against Milli-Q water induced the self-assembly of PCLBA-b-PEOGlc nanoparticles, which were characterised by static (SLS) and dynamic (DLS) light scattering and by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). Furthermore, the microscopic properties of the charged interface between the hydrophobic PCLBA core and the hydrophilic PEOGlc shell were examined by electrophoretic light scattering (zeta potential) and by fluorescence spectroscopy using the fluorescent probe 5-(N-dodecanoyl)aminofluorescein (DAF) as a pH indicator. Subsequently, the nanoparticles were transferred to a phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution supplemented with different concentrations of glucose to simulate the physiological conditions in blood or lactic acid to simulate acidic cytosolic or endosomal conditions in tumour cells. Adding a surplus of glucose or lactic acid, which competitively binds to PBA, removes the stabilising hydrophilic PEOGlc blocks, thereby triggering marked nanoparticle aggregation. However, the rate of aggregation induced by lactic acid is considerably faster than that induced by glucose, as confirmed by light scattering. Thus, this novel block copolymer may contribute to the field of selective, lactic acid- and/or glucose-responsive drug delivery vehicle design under both pathological and physiological conditions.

Abstract
Polymeric bicontinuous nanospheres (BCNs) that are analogous to lipid cubosomes possess high internal surface area and porosity that can accommodate the loading of a wide range of hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules for diverse applications. Self-assembly of BCNs has been reported using complex amphiphilic polymeric structures, with co-solvent dispersion being the only documented method of formation. Here, we report a simple amphiphilic diblock copolymer, poly(ethylene glycol)17-block-poly(propylene sulfide)75 (PEG17-bl-PPS75), to form BCNs using the rapid and scalable technique of flash nanoprecipitation (FNP). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryoTEM) verified low polydispersity and the formation of bicontinuous structures with internal aqueous channels, respectively. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) confirmed a primitive cubic (Im3m) internal organization for BCNs assembled by FNP. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules were effectively loaded into BCNs via FNP, and encapsulated payloads were found to release in controlled manner in aqueous solutions. Due to the oxidation-sensitivity of PPS, biologically relevant concentrations of reactive oxygen species could trigger payload release on demand. BCNs were found to be non-toxic and endocytosed by phagocytic cells. Furthermore, an in vitro functional assay showed BCNs co-loaded with antigen ovalbumin and adjuvant monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) to promote peptide/MHCI surface presentation by dendritic cells, a critical step for vaccine formulations during immunization. In conclusion, FNP supports the facile and scalable assembly and loading of PEG-bl-PPS BCNs, making them an attractive nanoscale delivery vehicle for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules.

Abstract
Background The object of this study was to develop a thermally and reactive oxygen species-responsive nanocarrier system for cancer therapy. Results PPS-PNIPAm block copolymer was designed and synthesised using a combination of living anionic ring-opening polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization. The synthesized polymer formed micellar aggregates in water and demonstrated dual responsiveness towards temperature and oxidants. Using doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug, encapsulation and in vitro release of the drug molecules in PPS-PNIPAm nanocarriers confirmed the responsive release properties of such system. Cell uptake of the DOX loaded micelles was investigated with human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). The results showed Dox-loaded micelles were able to be taken by the cells and mainly reside in the cytoplasma. In the stimulated cells with an elevated level of ROS, more released DOX was observed around the nuclei. In the cytotoxicity experiments, the Dox-loaded micelles demonstrated comparable efficacy to free DOX at higher concentrations, especially on ROS stimulated cells. Conclusions These results demonstrated that PPS-PNIPAm nanocarriers possess the capability to respond two typical stimuli in inflammatory cells: temperature and oxidants and can be used in anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Nanoparticle delivery systems are known to enhance the immune response to soluble antigens (Ags) and are thus a promising tool for the development of new vaccines. Our laboratory has engineered two different nanoparticulate systems in which Ag is either encapsulated within the core of polymersomes (PSs) or decorated onto the surface of nanoparticles (NPs). Previous studies showed that PSs are better at enhancing CD4 T cells and antibody titers, while NPs preferentially augment cytotoxic CD8 T cells. Herein, we demonstrate that the differential activation of T cell immunity reflects differences in the modes of intracellular trafficking and distinct biodistribution of the Ag in lymphoid organs, which are both driven by the properties of each nanocarrier. Furthermore, we found that Ags within PSs promoted better CD4 T cell activation and induced a higher frequency of CD4 T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. These differences correlated with changes in the frequency of germinal center B cells and plasma cell formation, which reflects the previously observed antibody titers. Our results show that PSs are a promising vector for the delivery of Ags for B cell vaccine development. This study demonstrates that nanocarrier design has a large impact on the quality of the induced adaptive immune response.

Abstract
The increasing sophistication of vaccine adjuvant design has been driven by improved understanding of the importance of nanoscale features of adjuvants to their immunological function. Newly available advanced nanomanufacturing techniques now allow very precise control of adjuvant particle size, shape, texture, and surface chemistry. Novel adjuvant concepts include self-assembling particles and targeted immune delivery. These individual concepts can be combined to create a single integrated vaccine nanoparticle-combining antigen, adjuvants, and DC-targeting elements. In the process, the concept of an adjuvant has broadened to include not only immune-stimulatory substances but also any design features that enhance the immune response against the relevant vaccine antigen. The modern definition of an adjuvant includes not only classical immune stimulators but also any aspects of particle size, shape, and surface chemistry that enhance vaccine immunogenicity. It even includes purely physical processes such as texturing of particle surfaces to maximize immunogenicity. Looking forward, adjuvants will increasingly be seen not as separate add-on items but as wholly integrated elements of a complete vaccine delivery package. Hence, vaccine systems will increasingly approach the complexity and sophistication of pathogens themselves, incorporating highly specific particle properties, contents, and behaviors, all designed to maximize immune system recognition and drive the immune response in the specific direction that affords maximal protection.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) (H2 O2 , OCl(-) , (•) OH, O2 (-) ) are a family of reactive molecules that are generated intracellularly and are engaged in many biological processes. In physiological concentrations, ROS act as signaling molecules to a number of metabolic pathways; however, in excess they can be harmful to living organisms. Overproduction of ROS has been related to many pathophysiological conditions and a number of studies have been reported in elucidating their mechanism in these conditions. With the aim of harnessing this role, a number of imaging tools and therapeutic compounds have been developed. Here these imaging and therapeutic tools are reviewed and particularly those structures with ROS-sensitivity based on their biomedical applications and their functional groups. There is also a brief discussion about the method of preparation as well as the mechanism of action.

Abstract
Strategies to enhance, suppress, or qualitatively shape the immune response are of importance for diverse biomedical applications, such as the development of new vaccines, treatments for autoimmune diseases and allergies, strategies for regenerative medicine, and immunotherapies for cancer. However, the intricate cellular and molecular signals regulating the immune system are major hurdles to predictably manipulating the immune response and developing safe and effective therapies. To meet this challenge, biomaterials are being developed that control how, where, and when immune cells are stimulated in vivo, and that can finely control their differentiation in vitro. We review recent advances in the field of biomaterials for immunomodulation, focusing particularly on designing biomaterials to provide controlled immunostimulation, targeting drugs and vaccines to lymphoid organs, and serving as scaffolds to organize immune cells and emulate lymphoid tissues. These ongoing efforts highlight the many ways in which biomaterials can be brought to bear to engineer the immune system.

Abstract
A synthetic polymer nanoparticle formulation utilizing the physiological nitrosothiol chemistry for nitric oxide delivery is shown. Toxicity of S-nitroso nanoparticles against adult female Brugia malayi worms, which are responsible for lymphatic filariasis, is dependent on nitric oxide release through transnitrosation as S-nitrosocysteine, a potent endogenous nitric oxide donor.

Abstract
The size, drug loading, drug release kinetics, localization, biodistribution, and stability of a given polymeric nanoparticle (NP) system depend on the composition of the NP core as well as its surface properties. In this study, novel, pH-responsive, and lipid-coated NPs, which expand in size from a diameter of approximately 100 to 1000 nm in the presence of a mildly acidic pH environment, are synthesized and characterized. Specifically, a combined miniemulsion and free-radical polymerization method is used to prepare the NPs in the presence of PEGylated lipids. These PEGylated-lipid expansile NPs (PEG-L-eNPs) combine the swelling behavior of the polymeric core of expansile NPs with the improved colloidal stability and surface functionality of PEGylated liposomes. The surface functionality of PEG-L-eNPs allows for the incorporation of folic acid (FA) and folate receptor-targeting. The resulting hybrid polymer/lipid nanocarriers, FA-PEG-L-eNPs, exhibit greater in vitro uptake and potency when loaded with paclitaxel compared to nontargeted PEG-L-eNPs.

Abstract
The need for smart materials in the area of biotechnology has fueled the development of numerous stimuli-responsive polymers. Many of these polymers are responsive to pH, light, temperature, or oxidative stress, and yet very few are responsive toward multiple stimuli. Here we report on the synthesis of a novel dual-stimuli-responsive poly(ethylene glycol)-based polymer capable of changing its hydrophilic properties upon treatment with UV light (exogenous stimulus) and markers of oxidative stress (endogenous stimulus). From this polymer, smart microparticles and fibers were fabricated and their responses to either stimulus separately and in conjunction were examined. Comparison of the degradation kinetics demonstrated that the polymer became water-soluble only after both oxidation and irradiation with UV light, which resulted in selective degradation of the corresponding particles. Furthermore, in vitro experiments demonstrated successful uptake of these particles by Raw 264.7 cells. Such dual-stimuli-responsive particles could have potential applications in drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering.
