Abstract
The progression of cancer involves mutations in normal cells, leading to uncontrolled division and tissue destruction, highlighting the complexity of tumor microenvironments (TMEs). Immunotherapy has emerged as a transformative approach, yet the balance between efficacy and safety remains a challenge. Nanoparticles such as polymersomes offer the possibility to precisely target tumors, deliver drugs in a controlled way, effectively modulate the antitumor immunity, and notably reduce side effects. Herein, stimuli-responsive polymersomes, with capabilities for carrying multiple therapeutics, are highlighted for their potential in enhancing antitumor immunity through mechanisms like inducing immunogenic cell death and activating STING (stimulator of interferon genes), etc. The recent progress of utilizing stimuli-responsive polymersomes to reshape the TME is reviewed here. The advantages and limitations to applied stimuli-responsive polymersomes are outlined. Additionally, challenges and future prospects in leveraging polymersomes for cancer therapy are discussed, emphasizing the need for future research and clinical translation.

Abstract
Various cellular functions are successfully mimicked, opening the door to the next generation of therapeutic approaches and systems biology. Herein, the first steps are taken toward the construction of artificial organelles for mimicking cell communication by docking and undocking of cargo in the membrane of swollen artificial organelles. Stimuli-responsive and crosslinked polymeric vesicles are used to allow docking processes at acidic pH at which ferrocene units in the swollen membrane state can undergo desired specific host-guest interaction using β-cyclodextrin as model cargo. The release of the cargo mediated by two different enzymes, glucose oxidase and α-amylase, is investigated, triggered by distinct enzymatic undocking mechanisms. Different release times for a useful transport are shown that can be adapted to different communication pathways. In addition, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments further support the hypotheses of host-guest inclusion complexation formation and their time-dependent breakdown. This work paves a way to a platform based on polymeric vesicles for synthetic biology, cell functions mimicking, and the construction of multifunctional cargo delivery system.

Abstract
Protein-based therapeutics are an attractive alternative to established therapeutic approaches and represent one of the fastest growing families of drugs. While many of these proteins can be delivered using established formulations, the intrinsic sensitivity of proteins to denaturation sometimes calls for a protective carrier to allow administration. Historically, lipid-based self-assembled structures, notably liposomes, have performed this function. After the discovery of polymersome-based targeted drug-delivery systems, which offer manifold advantages over lipid-based structures, the scientific community expected that such systems would take the therapeutic world by storm. However, no polymersome formulations have been commercialised. In this review article, we discuss key obstacles for the sluggish translation of polymersome-based protein nanocarriers into approved pharmaceuticals, which include limitations imparted by the use of non-degradable polymers, the intricacies of polymersome production methods, and the complexity of the in vivo journey of polymersomes across various biological barriers. Considering this complex subject from a polymer chemist's point of view, we highlight key areas that are worthy to explore in order to advance polymersomes to a level at which clinical trials become worthwhile and translation into pharmaceutical and nanomedical applications is realistic.

Abstract
Smart polymer materials that respond to a chemical stimulus are applied for the construction of biomedical devices and purification/separation systems. Small organic molecules are a particular type of stimulus. Their abnormal concentration indisputably indicates certain diseases. They are also hazardous environment contaminants. Polymer materials, which structure is selectively changed in the presence of a defined organic compound are promising in view of regulation of certain biomedical functions, as well as in view of chemical detectors construction. This review summarizes the state of the art in the self-assemblies of amphiphilic copolymers and polymer networks sensitive toward organic species, with an emphasis on the reports from the last decade. We focus on the relationship between the selectivity of introduced receptor moieties responsible for the change of material structure, the overall structure of material and its functionality.

Abstract
Humidity sensors have been gaining increasing attention because of their relevance for well-being. To meet the ever-growing demand for new cost-efficient materials with superior performances, graphene oxide (GO)-based relative humidity sensors have emerged recently as low-cost and highly sensitive devices. However, current GO-based sensors suffer from important drawbacks including slow response and recovery, as well as poor stability. Interestingly, reduced GO (rGO) exhibits higher stability, yet accompanied by a lower sensitivity to humidity due to its hydrophobic nature. With the aim of improving the sensing performances of rGO, here we report on a novel generation of humidity sensors based on a simple chemical modification of rGO with hydrophilic moieties, i.e., triethylene glycol chains. Such a hybrid material exhibits an outstandingly improved sensing performance compared to pristine rGO such as high sensitivity (31% increase in electrical resistance when humidity is shifted from 2 to 97%), an ultrafast response (25 ms) and recovery in the subsecond timescale, low hysteresis (1.1%), excellent repeatability and stability, as well as high selectivity toward moisture. Such highest-key-performance indicators demonstrate the full potential of two-dimensional (2D) materials when decorated with suitably designed supramolecular receptors to develop the next generation of chemical sensors of any analyte of interest.

Abstract
The never-ending pursuits for exploring aromatic molecular architectures result in the large libraries of aromatics with fascinating structures, which have greatly broadened the scope of aromaticity. Despite extensive efforts that have been paid to develop aromatic frameworks, the construction of polycyclic aromatics that share a bridgehead atom with more than three rings has never been accomplished. Here, an unprecedented family of aromatics, in which a metal center shared by 4 five-membered aromatic rings, has been achieved by using the metalla-click reactions with excellent yields and remarkable regioselectivity. The distinctive tetracyclic aromatics exhibit a broad absorption in the ultraviolet-visible near-infrared region and excellent thermal stability in air, enabling their potential applications in photoelectric materials and biomedicine. This study now makes it possible to incorporate four aromatic rings with one common sharing metal center by a straightforward strategy that would promote further development of previously unknown polycyclic complex motifs in aromatic chemistry.

Abstract
Background:
Phenylboronic acid-polymers (PBA-polymers) have attracted tremendous
attention as potential stimuli-responsive materials with applications in drug-delivery
depots, scaffolds for tissue engineering, HIV barriers, and biomolecule-detecting/sensing platforms.
The unique aspect of PBA-polymers is their interactions with diols, which result in reversible,
covalent bond formation. This very nature of reversible bonding between boronic
acids and diols has been fundamental to their applications in the biomedical area.
Methods:
We have searched peer-reviewed articles including reviews from Scopus, PubMed,
and Google Scholar with a focus on the 1) chemistry of PBA, 2) synthesis of PBA-polymers,
and 3) their biomedical applications.
Results:
We have summarized approximately 179 papers in this review. Most of the applications
described in this review are focused on the unique ability of PBA molecules to interact
with diol molecules and the dynamic nature of the resulting boronate esters. The strong sensitivity
of boronate ester groups towards the surrounding pH also makes these molecules
stimuli-responsive. In addition, we also discuss how the re-arrangement of the dynamic boronate
ester bonds renders PBA-based materials with other unique features such as self-healing
and shear thinning.
Conclusion:
The presence of PBA in the polymer chain can render it with diverse functions/
relativities without changing their intrinsic properties. In this review, we discuss the development
of PBA polymers with diverse functions and their biomedical applications with a
specific focus on the dynamic nature of boronate ester groups.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive, injectable hydrogels are among the most promising drug delivery systems for localized anticancer therapy owing to its minimally invasive administration and remote-controlled manner. However, most currently reported NIR-responsive hydrogels were usually generated through physical mixing of thermosensitive polymers and photothermal conversion agents. In this study, a novel type of dynamic-covalent hydrogel (GelPV-DOX-DBNP) with NIR light-triggered drug release behavior was rationally designed for chemo-photothermal combination treatment of tumors. Concretely, this NIR-responsive hydrogel was formed by specific benzoxaborole-carbohydrate interactions between benzoxaborole (BOB)-modified hyaluronic acid (BOB-HA) and fructose-based glycopolymer (PolyFru), where photosensitizer perylene diimide zwitterionic polymer (PDS), reductant ascorbic acid (Vc), anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) as well as photothermal nanoparticles (DB-NPs) were encapsulated, simultaneously. Upon 660 nm light irradiation, both PDS and Vc within the designed hydrogel can convert oxygen into hydrogen peroxide, which could make hydrogel be degraded through the breakage of dynamic covalent bonds based on benzoxaborole-carbohydrate interactions, leading to NIR light-activatable release of DOX and DB-NPs from GelPV-DOX-DBNP. Furthermore, the released DB-NPs can convert 915 nm light irradiation into heat, enabling the application of GelPV-DOX-DBNP as a NIR-responsive drug delivery platform for both chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT). In vivo results prove that GelPV-DOX-DBNP exhibited a markedly enhanced chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy for 4T1 tumor model mice, compared to chemotherapy alone or PTT. This work presents a new strategy to construct NIR light-responsive hydrogel as one alternative drug delivery system for anticancer applications.

Abstract
Polymersomes are of interest as nanocarriers due to their physical and chemical robustness, which arises from the macromolecular nature of their block copolymer components. However, the physical robustness of polymersomes impairs transmembrane diffusion and responsiveness to mechanical forces. Polymer nanocarriers that can reversibly deform under stress while maintaining structural integrity and transmembrane diffusivity are desired for development of gas transport vehicles. Here, we report polymersomes composed of amphiphilic block copolymers containing polydimethylsiloxane with side-chain pendant vinyl groups. A reversibly deformable polymersome compartmentalizing membrane was obtained by cross-linkage of PEG- b-poly(dimethyl- r-methylvinyl)silane in a self-assembled bilayer via photoradical generation in aqueous media. The covalently cross-linked polymersomes exhibited superior physical robustness compared to unlinked polymersomes while maintaining deformability under stress. Transmembrane oxygen diffusion was confirmed when lumen-encapsulated Zn-porphyrin generated singlet O2 under irradiation, and the anthracene-9,10-dipropionic acid O2 quencher was consumed. Polymersome-encapsulated hemoglobin bound oxygen reversibly, indicating the polymersomes could be used as O2 carriers that reversibly deform without sacrificing structural integrity or oxygen transportability.

Abstract
Hybrid nanocomposites are multiphase systems with a wide range of applications. Some nanocomposites are water insoluble thereby preventing several applications. Thus, we prepared telechelic PEO with glucose molecules to form water-soluble lamellar nanostructures by co-assembly with metallacarborane. The lamellas formed by PEO/metallacarborane decorated by glucose molecules on the surface can serve as delivery agents for boron clusters and benzoxaboroles.

Abstract
Boronic acids have found widespread use in the field of biomaterials, primarily through their ability to bind with biologically relevant 1,2- and 1,3-diols, including saccharides and peptidoglycans, or with polyols to prepare hydrogels with dynamic covalent or responsive behavior. Despite a wide range of boronic acid architectures that have been previously considered, there is a need for greater understanding of the structure-reactivity relationships that govern binding affinity to diols. In this study, various boronic acids and other organoboron compounds were investigated to determine their pK a and their binding constants with the biologically relevant diols including sorbitol, fructose, and glucose. Boronic acid pK a values were determined through spectroscopic titration, whereas binding constants were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy during competitive binding studies. Key structure-reactivity relationships clearly indicated that both boronic acid structure and solution pH must be carefully considered. By considering a variety of boronic acids with systematically varied electronics and sterics, these results provide guidance during selection of organoboron compounds in sensing, delivery, and materials chemistry.

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
Host-guest chemistry is exploited to tune the rate at which block copolymer vesicles undergo morphological transitions. More specifically, a concentrated aqueous dispersion of poly(glycerol monomethacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate)-poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) [P(GMA-co-GlyMA)-PHPMA] diblock copolymer vesicles was prepared via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). The epoxy groups in the GlyMA residues were ring-opened using a primary amine-functionalized β-cyclodextrin (NH2-β-CD) in order to prepare β-CD-decorated vesicles. Addition of azobenzene-methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (azo-mPEG) to such vesicles results in specific binding of this water-soluble macromolecular reagent to the β-CD groups on the hydrophilic P(GMA-co-GlyMA) stabilizer chains. Such host-guest chemistry induces a morphological transition from vesicles to worms and/or spheres. Furthermore, the rate of this morphological transition can be tuned by UV/visible-light irradiation and/or guest molecule competition. This novel molecular recognition strategy offers considerable scope for the design of new stimulus-responsive diblock copolymer vesicles for targeted delivery and controlled release of cargoes.

Abstract
Dynamic covalent chemistry is exploited to drive morphological order-order transitions to achieve the controlled release of a model payload (e.g., silica nanoparticles) encapsulated within block copolymer vesicles. More specifically, poly(glycerol monomethacrylate)-poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) (PGMA-PHPMA) diblock copolymer vesicles were prepared via aqueous polymerization-induced self-assembly in either the presence or absence of silica nanoparticles. Addition of 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) to such vesicles results in specific binding of this reagent to some of the pendent cis-diol groups on the hydrophilic PGMA chains to form phenylboronate ester bonds in mildly alkaline aqueous solution (pH ∼ 10). This leads to a subtle increase in the effective volume fraction of this stabilizer block, which in turn causes a reduction in the packing parameter and hence induces a vesicle-to-worm (or vesicle-to-sphere) morphological transition. The evolution in copolymer morphology (and the associated sol-gel transitions) was monitored using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, oscillatory rheology, and small-angle X-ray scattering. In contrast to the literature, in situ release of encapsulated silica nanoparticles is achieved via vesicle dissociation at room temperature; moreover, the rate of release can be fine-tuned by varying the solution pH and/or the APBA concentration. Furthermore, this strategy also works (i) for relatively thick-walled vesicles that do not normally exhibit stimulus-responsive behavior and (ii) in the presence of added salt. This novel molecular recognition strategy to trigger morphological transitions via dynamic covalent chemistry offers considerable scope for the design of new stimulus-responsive copolymer vesicles (and hydrogels) for targeted delivery and controlled release of cargoes. In particular, the conditions used in this new approach are relevant to liquid laundry formulations, whereby enzymes require protection to prevent their deactivation by bleach.

Abstract
A novel type of smart polymersomes with rapid K+-triggered drug-release properties is developed in this work. Block copolymers with biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as the hydrophilic block and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-benzo-18-crown-6-acrylamide) (PNB) copolymer as the K+-responsive block are successfully synthesized. Because of the presence of 18-crown-6 units, the PEG-b-PNB block copolymers exhibit excellent K+-dependent phase-transition behaviors, which show a hydrophilic-hydrophobic state in simulated extracellular fluid and present a hydrophilic-hydrophilic state in simulated intracellular fluid. Polymersomes with regular spherical shape and good monodispersity are prepared by the self-assembly of the PEG-b-PNB block copolymers. Both hydrophilic fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran and hydrophobic doxorubicin are selected as model drugs and are successfully encapsulated into the PEG-b-PNB polymersomes. After being placed in a simulated intracellular fluid with high K+ concentration, the PEG-b-PNB polymersomes immediately disassemble accompanied by the rapid and complete release of drugs. Such K+-responsive polymersomes with the desired drug-release properties provide a novel strategy for advanced intracellular drug delivery and release, which can enhance the safety and efficacy of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Molecular recognition of carbohydrates plays vital roles in biology but has been difficult to achieve with synthetic receptors. Through covalent imprinting of carbohydrates in boroxole-functionalized cross-linked micelles, we prepared nanoparticle receptors for a wide variety of mono- and oligosaccharides. The boroxole functional monomer bound the sugar templates through cis-1,2-diol, cis-3,4-diol, and trans-4,6-diol. The protein-sized nanoparticles showed excellent selectivity for d-aldohexoses in water with submillimolar binding affinities and completely distinguished the three biologically important hexoses (glucose, mannose, and galactose). Glycosides with nonpolar aglycon showed stronger binding due to enhanced hydrophobic interactions. Oligosaccharides were distinguished on the basis of their monosaccharide building blocks, glycosidic linkages, chain length, as well as additional functional groups that could interact with the nanoparticles.

Abstract
Boronic acid-containing (co)polymers have fascinated researchers for decades, garnering attention for their unique responsiveness toward 1,2- and 1,3-diols, including saccharides and nucleotides. The applications of materials that exert this property are manifold including sensing, but also self-regulated drug delivery systems through responsive membranes or micelles. In this review, some of the main applications of boronic acid containing (co)polymers are discussed focusing on the role of the boronic acid group in the response mechanism. We hope that this summary, which highlights the importance and potential of boronic acid-decorated polymeric materials, will inspire further research within this interesting field of responsive polymers and polymeric materials.

Abstract
Redox-responsive micelles based on amphiphilic polyethylene glycol-polymethyl methacrylate with the introduction of disulfide containing cross-linked agent (mPEG-PMMA-SS) were developed for intracellular drug release. Benefiting from the amphiphilicity, mPEG-PMMA-SS could self-assembled into core cross-linked micelles in aqueous medium with tunable sizes (85-151 nm), appropriate zeta potential (-24.8 mV), and desirable critical micelle concentration (CMC) (0.18 mg/mL). Doxorubicin (DOX) could efficiently load into the micelles with satisfactory entrapment efficiency. As expected, the in vitro release studies displayed that DOX release from mPEG-PMMA-SS micelles was about 75% within 10h under tumor-relevant reductive condition, whereas only about 25% DOX was released in non-reductive medium. SRB assays indicated that these mPEG-PMMA-SS micelles were biocompatible and nontoxic up to a concentration of 50 μg/mL. The cytotoxicity studies and the intracellular drug delivery demonstrated that the drug release behavior in cells was related to the concentration of GSH in cytoplasm. Furthermore, the cell experiments using fluorescence microscopy showed clearly that DOX was delivered by micelles to the cytoplasm, released in cytoplasm under reductive environment, and then accumulated in cell nucleus. These results suggest that such redox-responsive micelles may develop into an efficient cytoplasmic delivery for hydrophobic anticancer drugs.

Abstract
The thermo-responsive properties of borinic acid polymers were investigated by experimental and molecular dynamics simulation studies. The homopolymer poly(styrylphenyl(tri-iso-propylphenyl)borinic acid) (PBA) exhibits an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in polar organic solvents that is tunable over a wide temperature range by addition of small amounts of H2O. The UCST of a 1 mg mL(-1) PBA solution in DMSO can be adjusted from 20 to 100 °C by varying the H2O content from ∼0-2.5%, in DMF from 0 to 100 °C (∼3-17% H2O content), and in THF from 0 to 60 °C (∼4-19% H2O). The UCST increases almost linearly from the freezing point of the solvent with higher freezing point to the boiling point of the solvent with the lower boiling point. The mechanistic aspects of this process were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The latter indicate rapid and strong hydrogen-bond formation between BOH moieties and H2O molecules, which serve as crosslinkers to form an insoluble network. Our results suggest that borinic acid-containing polymers are promising as new "smart" materials, which display thermo-responsive properties that are tunable over a wide temperature range.
