Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of a complex combination of proteins, proteoglycans, and other biomolecules. ECM-based materials have been demonstrated to have high biocompatibility and bioactivity, which may be harnessed for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Herein, nanoparticles incorporating ECM-based materials and their applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering are reviewed. Proteins such as gelatin, collagen, and fibrin as well as glycosaminoglycans including hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and heparin have been employed for cancer therapeutic delivery, gene delivery, and wound healing and regenerative medicine. Strategies for modifying and functionalizing these materials with synthetic and natural polymers or to enable stimuli-responsive degradation and drug release have increased the efficacy of these materials and nano-systems. The incorporation and modification of ECM-based materials may be used to drive drug targeting and increase tissue-specific cell differentiation more effectively.

Abstract
Targeted delivery of drug molecules to diseased sites is a great challenge in pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. Fabrication of drug delivery systems (DDS) to target and/or diagnose sick cells is an effective means to achieve good therapeutic results along with a minimal toxicological impact on healthy cells. Biopolymers are becoming an important class of materials owing to their biodegradability, good compatibility, non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity, and long blood circulation time and high drug loading ratio for both macros as well as micro-sized drug molecules. This review summarizes the recent trends in biopolymer-based DDS, forecasting their broad future clinical applications. Cellulose chitosan, starch, silk fibroins, collagen, albumin, gelatin, alginate, agar, proteins and peptides have shown potential applications in DDS. A range of synthetic techniques have been reported to design the DDS and are discussed in the current study which is being successfully employed in ocular, dental, transdermal and intranasal delivery systems. Different formulations of DDS are also overviewed in this review article along with synthesis techniques employed for designing the DDS. The possibility of these biopolymer applications points to a new route for creating unique DDS with enhanced therapeutic qualities for scaling up creative formulations up to the clinical level.

Abstract
Thermoresponsive self-assembled nanogels were conveniently prepared by cholesterol end-capped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) in water. Both cholesterol end-capped PNIPAMs (telelchelic cholesterol PNIPAM, tCH-PNIPAM) formed flower-like nanogels by the self-assembling of four to five polymer chains with multiple domains of cholesterol in water at 20 °C. Meanwhile, one end-group cholesterol-capped PNIPAM (semitelechelic cholesterol PNIPAM, stCH-PNIPAM) was also formed as a nanogel by the self-assembling of 15-20 polymer chains with 3 to 4 cholesterol domains. The hydrophobic cholesterol domains of tCH-PNIPAM nanogels were maintained above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAM (>32 °C). Differently, the hydrophobic domains of stCH-PNIPAM were disrupted by cholesterol-free PNIPAM chain ends and formed large mesoglobules above the LCST. These transition controls of hydrophilic end-capped smart polymers may open new methodologies to design thermoresponsive nanosystems.

Abstract
Although prednisolone (PD) is used as an anti-arthritis drug due to its rapid and strong anti-inflammatory potential, its frequent and large dosing often brings about adverse effects. Therefore, targeting therapy has attracted increasing attention to overcome such adverse effects. In the present study, nanogels (NGs) composed of macromolecule-PD conjugates were developed as a novel targeting delivery system, and their anti-inflammatory potential was examined. Conjugates were prepared by carbodiimide coupling between glycyl-prednisolone (GP) and the natural anionic polysaccharides, alginic acid (AL) and hyaluronic acid (HA). NGs were produced by the evaporation of organic solvent from the conjugate solution. The obtained NGs, named AL-GP-NG and HA-GP-NG, respectively, were examined for particle characteristics, in vitro release, pharmacokinetics, and in vivo efficacy. Both NGs were several hundred nanometers in size, had negative zeta potentials, and several % (w/w) drug contents. They released PD gradually at pH 7.4 and 6. They exhibited fairly good retention in the systemic circulation. In the efficacy examination using rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis, both NGs showed the stronger and more prolonged suppression of paw inflammation than PD alone. These suggested that the present NGs should be possibly useful as anti-arthritis targeting therapeutic systems.

Abstract
Oral absorption of peptides/proteins is usually compromised by various gastrointestinal tract barriers. To improve delivery efficiency, chitosan-conjugated deoxycholic acid (CS-DCA) coupled with sodium alginate (ALG) was prepared to load insulin into pH-sensitive nanoparticles. The insulin-loaded chitosan-deoxycholic acid/alginate nanoparticles (CDA NPs) were characterized by size (143.3 ± 10.8 nm), zeta potential (19.5 ± 1.6 mV), entrapment efficiency (61.14 ± 1.67%), and insulin drug loading (3.36 ± 0.09%). The CDA NPs exhibited pH-triggered release characteristics in vitro and protected the wrapped insulin from gastric degradation. Stability of the CDA NPs in enzyme-containing simulated gastrointestinal fluids suggested that the NPs could partially protect the wrapped insulin from enzymatic degradation. Additionally, CS-DCA-modified NPs promoted the permeability of Caco-2 cells and enhanced intracellular absorption of FITC-labeled insulin by 9.4 and 1.2-folds, when compared to insulin solution and unmodified NPs, respectively. The positively charged NPs increased intestinal villi adhesion and enhanced insulin absorption in the intestines of diabetic rat models. Furthermore, the hypoglycemic test showed that CDA NPs prolonged insulin release in vivo and exerted a remarkable hypoglycemic effect on diabetic rats with an oral bioavailability of 15%. In conclusion, CDA NPs is a potential oral insulin delivery system.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of cancerous, non-cancerous, stromal, and immune cells that are surrounded by the components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), natural biomacromolecules, essential ECM, and cell membrane components are extensively altered in cancer tissues. During disease progression, the GAG fine structure changes in a manner associated with disease evolution. Thus, changes in the GAG sulfation pattern are immediately correlated to malignant transformation. Their molecular weight, distribution, composition, and fine modifications, including sulfation, exhibit distinct alterations during cancer development. GAGs and GAG-based molecules, due to their unique properties, are suggested as promising effectors for anticancer therapy. Considering their participation in tumorigenesis, their utilization in drug development has been the focus of both industry and academic research efforts. These efforts have been developing in two main directions; (i) utilizing GAGs as targets of therapeutic strategies and (ii) employing GAGs specificity and excellent physicochemical properties for targeted delivery of cancer therapeutics. This review will comprehensively discuss recent developments and the broad potential of GAG utilization for cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of biocompatible tumor-targeting delivery systems for anticancer agents is essential for efficacious cancer chemotherapy. Nanoparticles, as drug delivery cargoes for cancer therapy, are rapidly improving to overcome the limitations of conventional chemotherapeutic agents. Heparin-modified nanoparticles are currently being considered as one of the favorable carriers for the delivery of chemotherapeutics to cancer tissues. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at evaluating the in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity of a novel targeted, pH-sensitive, heparin-based polymeric micelle loaded with the poorly water-soluble anticancer drug, docetaxel (DTX). The micelles could overcome the limited water solubility, non-specific distribution, and insufficient drug concentration in tumor tissues. METHODS DTX-loaded folate targeted micelles were prepared and evaluated for physicochemical properties, drug release, in vitro cellular uptake and cytotoxicity in folate receptor-positive and folate receptor-negative cells. Furthermore, the antitumor activity of DTX-loaded micelles was evaluated in the tumor-bearing mice. Some related patents were also studied in this research. RESULTS The heparin-based targeted micelles exhibited higher in vitro cellular uptake and cytotoxicity against folate receptor over-expressed cells due to the specific receptor-mediated endocytosis. DTX-loaded micelles displayed greater antitumor activity, higher anti-angiogenesis effects, and lower systemic toxicity compared with free DTX in a tumor-induced mice model as confirmed by tumor growth monitoring, immunohistochemical evaluation, and body weight shift. DTX-loaded targeting micelles demonstrated no considerable toxicity on major organs of tumor-bearing mice compared with free DTX. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that DTX-loaded multifunctional heparin-based micelles with desirable antitumor activity and low toxicity possess great potential as a targeted drug delivery system in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, self-assembled chitosan/phospholipid nanoparticles (SACPNs) show great promise in a broad range of applications, including therapy, diagnosis, in suit imaging and on-demand drug delivery. Here, a brief review of the SACPNs is presented, and its critical underlying formation mechanisms are interpreted with an emphasis on the intrinsic physicochemical properties. The state-of-art preparation methods of SACPNs are summarized, with particular descriptions about the classic solvent injection method. Then SACPNs microstructures are characterized, revealing the unique spherical core-shell structure and the drug release mechanisms. Afterwards, a comprehensive and in-depth depiction of their emerging applications, with special attention to drug delivery areas, are categorized and reviewed. Finally, conclusions and outlooks on further advancing the SACPNs toward a more powerful and versatile platform for investigations covering from fundamental understanding to developing multi-functional drug delivery systems are discussed.

Abstract
Heparosan is a natural precursor of heparin biosynthesis in mammals. It is stable in blood circulation but can be degraded in lysosomes, showing good biocompatibility and long circulation features. So heparosan can be designed as anticancer drug carriers to increase tumor selectivity and improve the therapeutic effect. A novel redox-sensitive heparosan-cystamine-vitamin E succinate (KSV) micelle system was constructed for intracellular delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). Simultaneously, the redox-insensitive heparosan-adipic acid dihydrazide-vitamin E succinate copolymer (KV) was synthesized as control. DOX-loaded micelles (DOX/KSV) with an average particle size of 90-120 nm had good serum stability and redox-triggered depolymerization. In vitro drug release test showed that DOX/KSV micelles presented obvious redox-triggered release behavior compared with DOX/KV. Cytotoxicity and cell uptake were investigated using MGC80-3 tumor cells and COS7 fibroblast-like cells. The cell survival rate of blank micelles was more than 90%, and the cytotoxicity of DOX/KSV in MGC80-3 cells was higher than in COS7 cells, indicating that the carrier has better biocompatibility and less toxicity side effect. The cytotoxicity of DOX/KSV against MGC80-3 cells was significantly greater than that of free DOX and DOX/KV. Furthermore, compared with DOX/KV in MGC80-3 cells, DOX/KSV micelles uptook more anticancer drugs and then released DOX faster into the cell nucleus. The micelles were endocytosed by multiple pathways, but clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the main pathway. Therefore, heparosan polysaccharide could be a potential option as anticancer carrier for enhancing efficacy and mitigating toxicity.

Abstract
It is well-known that drugs administered into an organism intravenously or through the gastrointestinal tract are degraded by enzymes of the body, reducing their therapeutic effect. One of the ways to decrease this undesirable process is through the inclusion of drugs in nanomaterials. Earlier strong anticoagulant activity was demonstrated for dipeptide IleTrp (IW) and adenosine (Ado). In this work, the effect of inclusion in nanomaterials on the biological activity of IW and Ado was studied. For this purpose, Ado and IW were incorporated into thermosensitive nanogel composed of pluronic P123-grafted heparin. The prepared nanocarrier was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and ζ-potential. Biological activity was determined by measuring the bleeding time from mouse tail in vivo and the time of clot formation in vitro. It was found that encapsulation of Ado and IW into nanomaterial significantly increased their effects, resulting in an increase in the bleeding time from mouse tail and clot formation time. Thus, inclusion of low molecular weight anticoagulants Ado and IW into nanomaterials may be considered a way to increase their biological activity.

Abstract
Inflammation-associated thrombosis is a non-negligible source of mortalities and morbidities worldwide. To manipulate inflammation-associated coagulation, nanoparticles that contain anti-inflammatory polymer (copolyoxalate containing vanillyl alcohol, PVAX) and anti-thrombotic heparin derivative deoxycholic acid (Hep-DOCA) are prepared. The strategy takes advantage of the reducted side effects of heparin through heparin conjugation, achievement of long-term anti-inflammation by inflammation-trigged release of anti-inflammatory agents, and formation of PVAX/heparin-DOCA nanoparticles by co-self-assembly. It is demonstrated that the Hep-DOCA conjugate and PVAX are synthesized successfully; PVAX and Hep-DOCA nanodrugs (HDP) are obtained by co-assembly; the HDP nanoparticles effectively reduce the inflammation and coagulation without inducing lethal bleeding both in vivo and in vitro. The method provided here is versatile and effective, which paves new way to develop nanodrugs to treat inflammation-associated thrombosis safely.

Abstract
To solve the thrombosis and restenosis problem in cardiovascular stent implantation for cardiovascular artery disease, chondroitin 6-sulfate (ChS) with heparin (HEP) have been used as drug carrier layers and alternatively covalently bonded on gold (Au)-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA)-thiolized cardiovascular metallic (SUS316 L stainless steel, SS) stents. Sirolimus, a model drug, was encapsulated in the ChS-HEP alternative layers. The behavior of the drug in releasing and suppressing the growth of smooth-muscle cells (SMCs) was evaluated with 5-layer CHS-HEP coating on the SS stents. Moreover, hemocompatibility of blood clotting time and platelet adhesion was performed. The results showed that the 5-layer ChS-HEP-modified SS stents displayed the greatest hemocompatibility, showing prolonged blood clotting time of the activated partial thrombin time (> 500 s) and less platelet adhesion to reduce thrombosis. Furthermore, sirolimus can be released continuously for more than 40 days with the 5-layer ChS-HEP coating and is beneficial for inhibiting the growth of SMCs; however, it does not affect the proliferation of endothelial cells, which can avoid restenosis formation. Therefore, the multilayers of ChS-HEP grafted onto the Au-DMSA-cardiovascular SS stents provide high potential for use as drug eluting stents.

Abstract
In this study, we reported a redox-responsive drug delivery system (DDS) based on heparosan and deoxycholic acid conjugates (HSDs) for effective treatment of laryngopharyngeal carcinoma. The amphiphilic HSDs can self-assemble into stable nanoscale micelles in aqueous medium with favorable drug loading capacity for doxorubicin (DOX). The HSD micelles can exhibit glutathione (GSH)-triggered drug release behavior and reach a nearly 100% release rate in a high GSH level (10 mM) environment. Moreover, FaDu cancer cells can internalize HSD micelles by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, which is energy dependent, fast, and effective. The DOX@HSD induced inhibition of FaDu cancer cells can achieve a minimum of 10-fold selectivity relative to that of COS-7 normal cells. Overall, the redox-responsive DDSs show good biocompatibility and are promising in the clinical treatment of laryngopharyngeal carcinoma.

Abstract
Tumor metastasis is the primary obstacle in cancer treatment and is always the leading cause of human death. And heparin and its derivatives are potential anti-metastatic agents with good biocompatibility. In this work, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) based LMWH-Cholesterol (LHC) conjugates were prepared for intravenous delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). The DOX/LHC nanoparticles (DOX/LHC NPs) exhibited a spherical shape with a mean diameter of 135.5±2.2nm and had a longer circulation time than that of DOX. The in vitro results confirmed that the DOX/LHC NPs was more effectively taken up by 4T1 cells and showed a stronger anti-metastatic effect by cell invasion and cell migration compared with DOX. Meanwhile, DOX/LHC NPs also exhibited superior anti-metastatic effects in the pulmonary metastasis model compared with other groups. The reason may be account for the synergistic effect between the cytotoxic drug of DOX and its drug carrier of LMWH based nanoparticles, which is capable of anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic efficiency. Thus DOX/LHC nanoparticles could be a promising anti-metastatic drug delivery system for postoperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
A novel pH-responsive polymer based on amphiphilic N-acetyl histidine and arginine-grafted chitosan was synthesized using N-acetyl histidine as hydrophobic segment and arginine as hydrophilic segment by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide-mediated coupling reactions as anticancer drug delivery system for doxorubicin. The structure of the synthesized polymer was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Due to self-association behavior, N-acetyl histidine and arginine-grafted chitosan structured nanoparticles with in size range of 204 nm. N-acetyl histidine and arginine-grafted chitosan with different substitution degree of N-acetyl histidine were initially prepared and characterized. The critical micelle concentration decreased with increasing substitution degree of N-acetyl histidine. Furthermore, N-acetyl histidine and arginine-grafted chitosan nanoparticles exhibited an acidic pH-triggered aggregation and disassembling nature. The doxorubicin-encapsulated nanoparticles based on synthesized conjugate ( N-acetyl histidine and arginine-grafted chitosan/doxorubicin nanoparticles) showed a sustained drug release pattern, which could be hastened under acidic pH conditions but delayed with increasing substitution degree of N-acetyl histidine. Anticancer effects demonstrated that N-acetyl histidine and arginine-grafted chitosan/doxorubicin nanoparticles could suppress both sensitive and resistant human breast tumor cell line (MCF-7) efficiently in a dose- and time-dependent pattern. Confocal microscopy results evidenced increased cellular uptake and enhanced retention of the synthesized nanoparticles in drug-resistant cells demonstrating better efficacy of nanoparticles over native doxorubicin. These results suggest that N-acetyl histidine and arginine-grafted chitosan/doxorubicin nanoparticles might be promising carriers for delivery of hydrophobic drug doxorubicin against drug-resistant tumors.

Abstract
The aim of the present work is to formulate heparin-modified-polycaprolactone (HEP) core shell nanoparticles (NPs) of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). These NPs were characterized for various in vitro parameters like particle size, zeta potential, etc. HEP NPs were found to maintain comparatively slower drug release pattern (98.9% in 96 h) than PCL NPs. Cytotoxicity studies demonstrated a massive cytotoxic potential of 5-FU-loaded HEP NPs in A549, MDA-MD-435, and SK-OV-3 cancer cell lines. Pharmacokinetic parameters were also determined in blood after IV administration of HEP NPs: AUC, Cmax, MRT, and Tmax values are 6096.075 ± 5.90 μg h/mL, 144.38 ± 1.52 μg/L, 58.71 ± 0.25 h, 96 ± 0.50 h, respectively and 117.92 ± 1.78, 45.35 ± 3.00, 1.2 ± 0.25, 0.5 ± 0.02 in plain 5-FU solution.

Abstract
Even after a century, heparin is still the most effective anticoagulant available with few side effects. The poor oral absorption of heparins triggered the search for strategies to achieve oral bioavailability since this route has evident advantages over parenteral administration. Several approaches emerged, such as conjugation of heparins with bile acids and lipids, formulation with penetration enhancers, and encapsulation of heparins in micro and nanoparticles. Some of these strategies appear to have potential as good delivery systems to overcome heparin’s low oral bioavailability. Nevertheless, none have reached the market yet. Overall, this review aims to provide insights regarding the oral bioavailability of heparin.

Abstract
Coencapsulation liposomes are of interest to researchers because they maximize the synergistic effect of loaded drugs. A combination regimen of mitoxantrone (MTO) and prednisolone (PLP) has been ideal for tumor therapy. MTO and PLP offer synergistic antitumor effects confirmed by several experiments in this research. The deduced synergistic mechanism is regulation of Akt signaling pathway including the targets of p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, p-s6 ribosomal protein, and p-AMPK by MTO reactivating PLP-induced apoptosis. The liposome fusion method is adopted to create coencapsulation liposomes (PLP-MTO-YM). Low molecular weight heparin-sodium deoxycholate conjugate (LHD) then is used as a targeting ligand to prove target binding and inhibition of angiogenesis. LHD-modified liposomes (PLP-MTO-HM) have a high entrapment efficiency around 95% for both MTO and PLP. DSC results indicate that both drugs interacted with liposomes to prevent drug leak during liposome fusion. DiD-C6-HM dyes colocalize well to tumor tissue, and coadministration of DiD-HM and C6-CM did not achieve dye colocalization until 24 h after administration. In both CT26 and B16F10 mouse model, PLP-MTO-HM shows a significantly higher tumor inhibition rate relative to the coadministration of MTO-HM and PLP-CM (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). Thus, the coencapsulation system (PLP-MTO-HM) offers ideal antitumor effects relative to coadministration therapy due to enhanced synergistic effect, and this suggests a promising future for the tumor targeting vectors.

Abstract
Tethered micelle hydrogel networks based on the solution assembly of amphiphilic ABA-type block copolymers are prevalent throughout the hydrogel literature. However, the mechanical response of such systems is often determined largely by the integrity of the micellar core produced during solution assembly, not by the elements of the network structure upon which it is based. Using a solvent-free fabrication method based on the melt-state self-assembly of sphere-forming polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (SO) diblock and SOS triblock copolymers blends, we have been able to produce tethered micelle hydrogel networks with fully vitrified cores that enable the elements of the network structure to determine the mechanical response. Here, we explore the impact of using PEO midblocks of different lengths within the SOS tethers, in an effort to elucidate the role played by water content, tether concentration, and tether length in mechanical property determination. In doing so, we were able to establish coronal layer overlap as the primary contributing factor in regulating the dynamic elastic moduli exhibited by tethered micelle systems. Variation of either tether concentration or tether length could be used to tune the degree of coronal layer overlap, enabling direct and accurate control over hydrogel mechanical response. While such control is likely a unique feature of the melt-state fabrication approach applied here, the conclusions with respect to the role of coronal layer overlap and tether (bridging) concentration in determining the mechanical potential of the network should be applicable to all ABA-type tethered micelle systems, regardless of fabrication methodology.

Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate A-deoxycholic acid (CSA-DOCA)-based nanoparticles (NPs) were produced for tumor-targeted delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). The hydrophobic deoxycholic acid (DOCA) derivative was conjugated to the hydrophilic chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) backbone via amide bond formation, and the structure was confirmed by (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis. Loading the DOX to the CSA-DOCA NPs resulted in NPs with an approximately 230nm mean diameter, narrow size distribution, negative zeta potential, and relatively high drug encapsulation efficiency (up to 85%). The release of DOX from the NPs exhibited sustained and pH-dependent release profiles. The cellular uptake of DOX from the CSA-DOCA NPs in CD44 receptor-positive human breast adenocarcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells was reduced when co-treated with free CSA, indicating the interaction between CSA and the CD44 receptor. The lower IC50 value of DOX from the CSA-DOCA NPs compared to the DOX solution was also probably due to this interaction. Moreover, the ability of the developed NPs to target tumors could be inferred from the in vivo and ex vivo near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging results in the MDA-MB-231 tumor-xenografted mouse model. Both passive and active strategies appear to have contributed to the in vivo tumor targetability of the CSA-DOCA NPs. Therefore, these CSA-DOCA NPs could further be developed into a theranostic nanoplatform for CD44 receptor-positive cancers.

Abstract
Aim: To develop insulin loaded deoxycholic acid conjugated PEGylated polyhydroxybutyrate co-polymeric nanoparticles and carry out in vitro and in vivo testing of enteric coated granules comprising these nanoparticles. Materials & methods: Insulin loaded nanoparticles were prepared and characterized in vitro. Cellular uptake was studied using hyperspectral and live cell confocal microscopy. Enteric coated granules of nanoparticles were fed orally to diabetic rats and the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were evaluated. Results: Ultra small (˜10 nm) nanoparticles with polydispersity index of 0.299 were obtained. The enteric coated granules showed a negligible insulin release in acidic pH, but released insulin in alkaline environment. High cellular uptake was observed and nanoparticles were able to maintain the blood glucose levels up to 24 h. Conclusion: These enteric-coated nanoparticle granules sustained the release of insulin and showed enhanced insulin bioavailability. Hence, these may serve as a platform device for oral insulin delivery with extended release.

Abstract
Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH)–stearylamine (SA) conjugates (LHSA)-based self-assembled nanoparticles were prepared for intravenous delivery of docetaxel (DCT). 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide were used as coupling agents for synthesis of LHSA conjugates. The physicochemical properties, in vitro antitumor efficacy, in vitro cellular uptake efficiency, in vivo antitumor efficacy, and in vivo pharmacokinetics of LHSA nanoparticles were investigated. The LHSA nanoparticles exhibited a spherical shape with a mean diameter of 140–180 nm and a negative surface charge. According to in vitro release and in vivo pharmacokinetic test results, the docetaxel-loaded LHSA5 (LMWH:SA =1:5) nanoparticles exhibited sustained drug release profiles. The blank LHSA nanoparticles demonstrated only an insignificant cytotoxicity in MCF-7 and MDAMB 231 human breast cancer cells; additionally, higher cellular uptake of coumarin 6 (C6) in MCF-7 and MDAMB 231 cells was observed in the LHSA5 nanoparticles group than that in the C6 solution group. The in vivo tumor growth inhibition efficacy of docetaxel-loaded LHSA5 nanoparticles was also significantly higher than the Taxotere®-treated group in the MDAMB 231 tumor-xenografted mouse model. These results indicated that the LHSA5-based nanoparticles could be a promising anticancer drug delivery system.

Abstract
Bioreducible heparin (HEP)-based nanogels were prepared by derivatizing HEP with vinyl group followed by copolymerizing with cystamine bisacrylamide in aqueous medium in the absence of surfactant. The hydrodynamic diameter of the HEP nanogels could be tuned in the range from 80 to 200 nm. Doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into the HEP nanogels, and high drug loading content (30%) and efficiency (90%) were achieved. In vitro drug release test revealed that this drug delivery system exhibited strongly redox-sensitive drug release behavior that would greatly favor the in vivo drug delivery performance of the nanogels. After injected into tumor-bearing mice through tail vein, the DOX-loaded HEP nanogels showed remarkable accumulation in tumors as demonstrated by in vivo near infared fluorescence imaging and ex vivo DOX concentration measurements. The doxorubicin accumulation at tumor site goes beyond 9% injected dose per gram of tumor through such delivery system, making that DOX-loaded HEP nanogels have significantly superior in vivo antitumor activity.

Abstract
Bioreducible carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) derivatives are synthesized by the chemical modification of CMD with lithocholic acid (LCA) through a disulfide linkage. The hydrophobic nature of LCA allows the conjugates (CMD-SS-LCAs) to form self-assembled nanoparticles in aqueous conditions. Depending on the degree of LCA substitution, the particle diameters range from 163 to 242 nm. Doxorubicin (DOX), chosen as a model anticancer drug, is effectively encapsulated into the nanoparticles with high loading efficiency (>70%). In vitro optical imaging tests reveal that the fluorescence signal of DOX quenched in the bioreducible nanoparticles is highly recovered in the presence of glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide capable of reducing disulfide bonds in the intracellular compartments. Bioreducible nanoparticles rapidly release DOX when they are incubated with 10 mm GSH, whereas the drug release is greatly retarded in physiological buffer (pH 7.4). DOX-loaded bioreducible nanoparticles exhibit higher toxicity to SCC7 cancer cells than DOX-loaded nanoparticles without the disulfide bond. Confocal laser scanning microscopy observation demonstrate that bioreducible nanoparticles can effectively deliver DOX into the nuclei of SCC7 cells. In vivo biodistribution study indicates that Cy5.5-labeled CMD-SS-LCAs selectively accumulate at tumor sites after systemic administration into tumor-bearing mice. Notably, DOX-loaded bioreducible nanoparticles exhibit higher antitumor efficacy than reduction-insensitive control nanoparticles. Overall, it is evident that bioreducible CMD-SS-LCA nanoparticles are useful as a drug carrier for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is an X-ray based instrument that it is specifically designed for biomedical research at a preclinical stage for live imaging of small animals. This imaging modality is cost-effective, fast, and produces remarkable high-resolution images of X-ray opaque skeleton. Administration of biocompatible X-ray opaque contrast agent allows delineation of the blood vessels, and internal organs and even detection of tumor metastases as small as 300 μm. However, the main limitation of micro-CT lies in the poor efficacy or toxicity of the contrast agents. Moreover, contrast agents for micro-CT have to be stealth nanoparticulate systems, i.e. preventing their rapid renal clearance. The chemical composition and physicochemical properties will condition their uptake and elimination pathways, and therefore all the biological fluids, organs, and tissues trough this elimination route of the nanoparticles will be contrasted. Furthermore, several technologies playing on the nanoparticle properties, aim to influence these biological pathways in order to induce their accumulation onto given targeted sites, organs of tumors. In function of the methodologies carried out, taking benefit or not of the action of immune system, of the natural response of the organism like hepatocyte uptake or enhanced permeation and retention effect, or even accumulation due to ligand/receptor interactions, the technologies are called passive or active targeted imaging. The present review presents the most recent advances in the development of specific contrast agents for targeted X-ray imaging micro-CT, discussing the recent advance of in vivo targeting of nanoparticulate contrast agents, and the influence of the formulations, nature of the nanocarrier, nature and concentration of the X-ray contrasting materials, effect of the surface properties, functionalization and bioconjugation. The pharmacokinetic and versatility of nanometric systems appear particularly advantageous for addressing the versatile biomedical research needs. State of the art investigations are on going to propose contrast agents with tumor accumulating properties and will contribute for development of safer cancer medicine having detection and therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
A new, simple and green method was developed for the manufacturing of heparin nanoassemblies active against the heparan sulfate-dependent viruses HSV-1, HSV-2, HPV-16 and RSV. These nanoassemblies were obtained by the auto-association of O-palmitoyl-heparin and α-cyclodextrin in water. The synthesized O-palmitoyl-heparin derivatives mixed with α-cyclodextrin resulted in the formation of crystalline hexagonal nanoassemblies as observed by transmission electron microscopy. The nanoassembly mean hydrodynamic diameters were modulated from 340 to 659 nm depending on the type and the initial concentration of O-palmitoyl-heparin or α-cyclodextrin. The antiviral activity of the nanoassemblies was not affected by the concentration of the components. However, the method of the synthesis of O-palmitoyl-heparin affected the antiviral activity of the formulations. We showed that reduced antiviral activity is correlated with lower sulfation degree and anticoagulant activity.

Abstract
A novel micelle based on heparosan and deoxycholic acid (DOCA) conjugate (HD) as drug carrier was reported here. As the surface was negatively charged, this micelle could resist serum adsorption, showing favorable stability. Moreover, fluorescence observation confirmed that it was able to deliver model hydrophobic drug doxorubicin (DOX) into HeLa cells efficiently. The DOX-loaded micelles showed sustained release behavior at pH 7.4, and accelerated release behavior at pH 5.0 or in the presence of β-glucuronidase, which over-expressed in tumor cells. In vitro cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of DOX-loaded micelles against HeLa cells was much lower than that of COS7 cells, showing significant therapeutic distinction between tumor cells and normal cells. Combining with the good biocompatibility and biodegradability of heparosan, this micelle may be promising in clinical application for targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Delivery of hydrophobic molecules and proteins has been an issue due to poor bioavailability following administration. Thus, micelle carrier systems are being investigated to improve drug solubility and stability. Due to problems with toxicity and immunogenicity, natural polysaccharides are being explored as substitutes for synthetic polymers in the development of new micelle systems. By grafting hydrophobic moieties to the polysaccharide backbone, self-assembled micelles can be readily formed in aqueous solution. Many polysaccharides also possess inherent bioactivity that can facilitate mucoadhesion, enhanced targeting of specific tissues, and a reduction in the inflammatory response. Furthermore, the hydrophilic nature of some polysaccharides can be exploited to enhance circulatory stability. This review will highlight the advantages of polysaccharide use in the development of drug delivery systems and will provide an overview of the polysaccharide-based micelles that have been developed to date.
