Abstract
Nanosized mesoporous silica has emerged as a promising flexible platform delivering siRNA for cancer treatment. This ordered mesoporous nanosized silica provides attractive features of well-defined and tunable porosity, structure, high payload, and multiple functionalizations for targeted delivery and increasing biocompatibility over other polymeric nanocarriers. Moreover, it also overcomes the lacunae associated with traditional administration of drugs. Chemically modified porous silica matrix efficiently entraps siRNA molecules and prevents their enzymatic degradation and premature release. This Review discusses the synthesis of silica using the sol-gel approach and the advantages with different silica mesostructure. Herein, the factors affecting the synthesis of silica at nanometer scale, shape, porosity and nanoparticle surface modification are also highlighted to attain the desired nanostructured silica carriers. Additional emphasis is given to chemically modified silica delivering siRNA, where the silica nanoparticle surface was modified with different chemical moieties such as amine modified with (3-aminoropyl) triethoxysilane, polyethylenimine, chitosan, poly(ethylene glycol), and cyclodextrin polymer modification to attain high therapeutic loading, improved dispersibility and biocompatibility. Upon systemic administration, ordered mesoporous nanosized silica encounters blood cells, immune cells, and organs mainly of the reticuloendothelial system (RES). Thereby, biocompatibility and biodistribution of silica based nanocarriers are deliberated to design principles for smart and efficacious nanostructured silica-siRNA carriers and their clinical trial status. This Review further reports the future scopes and challenges for developing silica nanomaterial as a promising siRNA delivery vehicle demanding FDA approval.

Abstract
RNA nanotechnology, including rolling circle transcription (RCT), has gained increasing interest as a fascinating siRNA delivery nanoplatform for biostable and tumor-targetable RNA-based therapies. However, due to the lack of fine-tuning technologies for RNA nanostructures, the relationship between physicochemical properties and siRNA efficacy of polymeric siRNA nanoparticles (PRNs) with different sizes has not yet been fully elucidated. Herein, we scrutinized the effects of size/surface chemistry-tuned PRNs on the biological and physiological interactions with tumors. PRNs with adjusted size and surface properties were prepared using sequential engineering processes: RCT, condensation, and nanolayer deposition of functional biopolymers. Through the RCT process, nanoparticles of three sizes with a diameter of 50-200 nm were fabricated and terminated with three types of biopolymers: poly-l-lysine (PLL), poly-l-glutamate (PLG), and hyaluronic acid (HA) for different surface properties. Among the PRNs, HA-layered nanoparticles with a diameter of ∼200 nm exhibited the most effective systemic delivery, resulting in superior anticancer effects in an orthotopic breast tumor model due to the CD44 receptor targeting and optimized nanosized structure. Depending on the type of PRNs, the in vivo siRNA delivery with protein expression inhibition differed by up to approximately 20-fold. These findings indicate that the types of layered biopolymers and the PRNs size mediate efficient polymeric siRNA delivery to the targeted tumors, resulting in high RNAi-induced therapeutic efficacy. This RNA-nanotechnology-based size/surface editing can overcome the limitations of siRNA therapeutics and represents a potent built-in module method to design RNA therapeutics tailored for targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
The development of nucleic acid-based drugs holds great promise for therapeutic applications, but their effective delivery into cells is hindered by poor cellular membrane permeability and inherent instability. To overcome these challenges, delivery vehicles are required to protect and deliver nucleic acids efficiently. Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have emerged as promising nanovectors and recently bioregulators for gene delivery due to their unique advantages. In this review, a summary of recent advancements in the design of SiNPs for nucleic acid delivery and their applications is provided, mainly according to the specific type of nucleic acids. First, the structural characteristics and working mechanisms of various types of nucleic acids are introduced and classified according to their functions. Subsequently, for each nucleic acid type, the use of SiNPs for enhancing delivery performance and their biomedical applications are summarized. The tailored design of SiNPs for selected type of nucleic acid delivery will be highlighted considering the characteristics of nucleic acids. Lastly, the limitations in current research and personal perspectives on future directions in this field are presented. It is expected this opportune review will provide insights into a burgeoning research area for the development of next-generation SiNP-based nucleic acid delivery systems.

Abstract
The adsorption of cationic peptide JM21 onto different mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) from an aqueous solution was studied as a function of pH. In agreement with the literature, the highest loading degrees could be achieved at pH close to the isoelectric point of the peptide where the peptide-peptide repulsion is minimum. However, mesopore size, mesopore geometry, and surface polarity all had an influence on the peptide adsorption in terms of both affinity and maximum loading at a given pH. This adsorption behavior could largely be explained by a combination of pH-dependent electrostatic interactions and confinement effects. It is demonstrated that hydrophobic interactions enhance the degree of peptide adsorption under pH conditions where the electrostatic attraction was absent in the case of mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs). The lower surface concentration of silanol groups for MON led to a lower level of peptide adsorption under optimum pH conditions compared to all-silica particles. Finally, the study confirmed the protective role of MSNs in preserving the biological activity of JM#21 against enzymatic degradation, even for large-pore MSNs, emphasizing their potential as nanocarriers for therapeutic peptides. By integrating experimental findings with theoretical modeling, this research elucidates the complex interplay of factors that influence peptide-silica interactions, providing vital insights for optimizing peptide loading and stabilization in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Proteins and peptides (PPs), as therapeutics are widely explored in the past few decades, by virtue of their inherent advantages like high specificity and biocompatibility with minimal side effects. However, owing to their macromolecular size, poor membrane permeability, and high enzymatic susceptibility, the effective delivery of PPs is often challenging. Moreover, their subjection to varying environmental conditions, when administered orally, results in PPs denaturation and structural conformation, thereby lowering their bioavailability. Hence, for effective delivery with enhanced bioavailability, protection of PPs using nanoparticle-based delivery system has gained a growing interest. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), with their tailored morphology and pore size, high surface area, easy surface modification, versatile loading capacity, excellent thermal stability, and good biocompatibility, are eligible candidates for the effective delivery of macromolecules to the target site. This review highlights the different barriers hindering the oral absorption of PPs and the various strategies available to overcome them. In addition, the potential benefits of MSNs, along with their diversifying role in controlling the loading of PPs and their release under the influence of specific stimuli, are also discussed in length. Further, the tuning of MSNs for enhanced gene transfection efficacy is also highlighted. Since extensive research is ongoing in this area, this review is concluded with an emphasis on the potential risks of MSNs that need to be addressed prior to their clinical translation.

Abstract
In situ monitoring multidrug release in complex cellular microenvironments is significant, and currently, it is still a great challenge. In this work, a smart nanocarrier with the capability of codelivery of small molecules and gene materials as well as with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-modulated fluorescence lifetime is fabricated by integrating gold nanoparticles (the acceptor) into dual-mesoporous silica loaded with multiple drugs (the donor). Once internalized into tumor cells, in weakly acidic environments, the conformation switch of the polymer grafted on nanocarriers causes its shedding from the mesopores, triggering the release of drugs. Simultaneously, based on the strong overlap between the emission spectrum of donors and the absorption spectrum of the acceptors, any slight fluctuation of the dissociation of the drugs from nanocarriers can result in a change in the FRET-modulated lifetime signal due to the extraordinarily sensitive FRET signal to the separation distance between donors and acceptors. All these implied the potential applications of this nanoplatform in various biomedical fields that require the codelivery and real-time monitoring of multidrug-based synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive controlled drug delivery systems have attracted the attention of researchers in recent decades due to their potential application in developing efficient drug carriers that are responsive to applied stimuli triggers. In this work, we present the synthesis of L-lysine (an amino acid that combines both amine and carboxylic acid groups in a single unit) modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MS@Lys NPs) for the delivery of the anticancer bioactive agent (curcumin, Cur) to cancer cells. To begin, mesoporous silica hybrid nanoparticles (MS@GPTS NPs) with 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane (GPTS) were synthesized. The L-lysine groups were then functionalized onto the mesopore channel surfaces of the MS@GPTS NPs through a ring-opening reaction between the epoxy groups of the GPTS and the amine groups of the L-lysine units. Several instrumental techniques were used to examine the structural properties of the prepared L-lysine-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MS@Lys NPs). The drug loading and pH-responsive drug delivery behavior of MS@Lys NPs were studied at different pH levels (pH 7.4, 6.5, and 4.0) using curcumin (Cur) as a model anticancer bioactive agent. The MS@Lys NPs' in vitro cytocompatibility and cell uptake behavior were also examined using MDA-MB-231 cells. The experimental results imply that MS@Lys NPs might be used in cancer therapy as pH-responsive drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Owing to the difficult-to-penetrate blood-brain barrier (BBB), glioblastoma (GBM) doesn't respond well to the current chemical therapeutics. In this study, ultra-small micelles (NMs) self-assembled by RRR-a-tocopheryl succinate-grafted-ε-polylysine conjugate (VES-g-ε-PLL) as the delivery vehicle of chemical therapeutics in conjunction with ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) to surmount BBB and treat GBM. Docetaxel (DTX) as a hydrophobic model drug was incorporated into NMs. DTX-loaded micelles (DTX-NMs) with 3.08% of drug loading exhibited a hydrodynamic diameter (33.2 nm) and positive Zeta potential (16.9 mV), having a remarkable tumor-permeating capacity. Furthermore, DTX-NMs presented good stability in physiologic condition. The sustained-release release profile of DTX-NMs was also displayed by dynamic dialysis. Treatment of DTX-NMs together with UTMD led to more pronounced apoptosis of C6 tumor cells than DTX-NMs alone. Moreover, compared with the DTX solution or DTX-NMs alone, the combination of DTX-NMs with UTMD had a stronger inhibitory effect on tumor growth for GBM-bearing rats. The median survival period of GBM-bearing rats was extended to 75 days in the DTX-NMs+UTMD group from under 25 days in the control group. The invasive growth of glioblastoma was largely inhibited by the combination of DTX-NMs with UTMD, which was demonstrated by staining of Ki67, caspase-3, and CD31, together with TUNEL assay. In conclusion, the combination of ultra-small micelles (NMs) with UTMD may be a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of the first-line chemotherapeutics against GBM.

Abstract
Conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) are a promising class of nanomaterials for biomedical applications, such as bioimaging, gene and drug delivery/release, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and environmental sensing. Over the past decade, many reports have been published detailing their synthesis and their various potential applications, including some very comprehensive reviews of these topics. In contrast, there is a distinct lack of overview of the role the stabilizing copolymer shells have on the properties of CPNs. This review attempts to correct this oversight by scrutinizing reports detailing the synthesis and application of CPNs stabilized with some commonly-used copolymers, namely F127 (Pluronic poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate), PSMA (poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride)), PLGA (poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)) and PEG (polyethylene glycol) derivatives. The analysis of the reported physicochemical properties and biological applications of these CPNs provides insights into the advantages of each group of copolymers for specific applications and offers a set of guidance criteria for the selection of an appropriate copolymer when designing CPNs-based probes. Finally, the challenges and outlooks in the field are highlighted.

Abstract
Constructive achievements in the field of nanobiotechnology and their translation into clinical course have led to increasing attention towards evaluation of their use for treatment of diseases, especially cancer. Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the primary bone malignancies that affects both males and females in childhood and adolescence. Like other types of cancers, genetic and epigenetic mutations account for OS progression and several conventional therapies including chemotherapy and surgery are employed. However, survival rate of OS patients remains low and new therapies in this field are limited. The purpose of the current review is to provide a summary of nanostructures used in OS treatment. Drug and gene delivery by nanoplatforms have resulted in an accumulation of therapeutic agents for tumor cell suppression. Furthermore, co-delivery of genes and drugs by nanostructures are utilized in OS suppression to boost immunotherapy. Since tumor cells have distinct features such as acidic pH, stimuli-responsive nanoparticles have been developed to appropriately target OS. Besides, nanoplatforms can be used for biosensing and providing phototherapy to suppress OS. Furthermore, surface modification of nanoparticles with ligands can increase their specificity and selectivity towards OS cells. Clinical translation of current findings suggests that nanoplatforms have been effective in retarding tumor growth and improving survival of OS patients.

In addition, they have several desirable properties that make them ideal for treating bone cancer, including high stability, specificity, higher sensitivity, and efficacy. Furthermore, they might be taken into account to permit the precise drug release from the matrix. Drug delivery systems for cancer treatment have progressed to include nanocomposites, metallic NPs, dendrimers, and liposomes. Materials’ mechanical strength, hardness, electrical and thermal conductivity, and electrochemical sensors are significantly improved using nanoparticles (NPs). New sensing devices, drug delivery systems, electrochemical sensors, and biosensors can all benefit considerably from the NPs’ exceptional physical and chemical capabilities. Nanotechnology is discussed in this article from a variety of angles, including its recent applications in the medical sciences for the effective treatment of bone cancers and its potential as a promising option for treating other complex health anomalies via the use of anti-tumour therapy, radiotherapy, the delivery of proteins, antibiotics, and vaccines, and other methods. This also brings to light the role that model simulations can play in diagnosing and treating bone cancer, an area where Nanomedicine has recently been formulated. There has been a recent uptick in using nanotechnology to treat conditions affecting the skeleton. Consequently, it will pave the door for more effective utilization of cutting-edge technology, including electrochemical sensors and biosensors, and improved therapeutic outcomes.

[PMID: 36839761 PMCID: PMC9960588 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Complete recovery from infection, sepsis, injury, or trauma requires a vigorous response called inflammation. Inflammatory responses are essential in balancing tissue homeostasis to protect the tissue or resolve harmful stimuli and initiate the healing process. Identifying pathologically important inflammatory stimuli is important for a better understanding of the immune pathways, mechanisms of inflammatory diseases and organ dysfunctions, and inflammatory biomarkers and for developing therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases. Nanoparticles are an efficient medical tool for diagnosing, preventing, and treating various diseases due to their interactions with biological molecules. Nanoparticles are unique in diagnosis and therapy in that they do not affect the surroundings or show toxicity. Modern medicine has undergone further development with nanoscale materials providing advanced experimentation, clinical use, and applications. Nanoparticle use in imaging, drug delivery, and treatment is growing rapidly owing to their spectacular accuracy, bioavailability, and cellular permeability. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) play a significant role in nano therapy with several advantages such as easy synthesis, loading, controllability, bioavailability over various surfaces, functionalization, and biocompatibility. MSNs can be used as theranostics in immune-modulatory nano systems to diagnose and treat inflammatory diseases. The application of MSNs in the preparation of drug-delivery systems has been steadily increasing in recent decades. Several preclinical studies suggest that an MSN-mediated drug-delivery system could aid in treating inflammatory diseases. This review explains the role of nanoparticles in medicine, synthesis, and functional properties of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and their therapeutic role against various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
DNAzyme-based sensors remain at the forefront of metal-ion imaging efforts, but most lack the subcellular precision necessary to their applications in specific organelles. Here, we seek to overcome this limitation by presenting a DNAzyme-based biosensor technology for spatiotemporally controlled imaging of metal ions in mitochondria. A DNA nanodevice was constructed by integrating an optically activatable DNAzyme sensor and an upconversion nanoparticle with an organelle-targeting signal. We exemplify that this approach allows for mitochondria-specific imaging of Zn2+ in living cells in a near-infrared light-controlled manner. Based on this, the system is used for the monitoring of mitochondrial Zn2+ during drug treatment in a cellular model of ischemia insult. Furthermore, the DNA nanodevice is employed to assess dynamic Zn2+ change and pharmacological interventions in an injury cell model of Zn2+ toxicity. This method paves the way for engineering of DNAzyme sensors to investigate the pathophysiological roles of metal ions at the subcellular level.

Abstract
Rapid progress in developing multifunctional nanocarriers for drug delivery has been observed in recent years. Inorganic mesoporous silica nanocarriers (MSNs), emerged as an ideal candidate for gene/drug delivery with distinctive morphological features. These ordered carriers of porous nature have gained unique attention due to their distinctive features. Moreover, transformation can be made to these nanocarriers in terms of pores size, pores volume, and particle size by altering specific parameters during synthesis. These ordered porous materials have earned special attention as a drug carrier for treating multiple diseases. Herein, we highlight the strategies employed in synthesizing and functionalizing these versatile nanocarriers. In addition, the various factors that influence their sizes and morphological features were also discussed. The article also summarizes the recent advancements and strategies for drug and gene delivery by rendering smarter MSNs by incorporating functional groups on their surfaces. Averting off-target effects through various capping strategies is a massive milestone for the induction of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers that brings out a great revolution in the biomedical field. MSNs serve as an ideal candidate for gene/drug delivery with unique and excellent attributes. MSNs surface can be functionalized using specific materials to impart unique structural features. Functionalization of MSNs with stimuli-responsive molecules can act as gatekeepers by responding to the desired stimulus after uncapping. These capping agents act as vital targeting agents in developing MSNs being employed in various biomedical applications.

Abstract
The tendon, as a compact connective tissue, is difficult to treat after an acute laceration or chronic degeneration. Gene-based therapy is a highly efficient strategy for diverse diseases which has been increasingly applied in tendons in recent years. As technology improves by leaps and bounds, a wide variety of non-viral vectors have been manufactured that attempt to have high biosecurity and transfection efficiency, considered to be a promising treatment modality. In this review, we examine the unwanted biological barriers, the categories of applicable genes, and the introduction and comparison of non-viral vectors. We focus on lipid-based nanoparticles and polymer-based nanoparticles, differentiating between them based on their combination with diverse chemical modifications and scaffolds.

Abstract
Oligo-basic amino acids have been extensively studied in molecular biology and pharmacology, but the inhibitory activity on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) was unknown. In this study, the inhibitory activity of 8 oligopeptides, including both basic and acidic amino acids, was evaluated on 9 nAChR subtypes by a two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC). Among them, the oligo-lysine K9, K12, d-K9, d-K9F, and oligo-arginine R9 showed nanomolar inhibitory activity on various nAChRs, especially for α7 and α9α10 nAChRs. d-K9 containing N-Fmoc protecting group (d-K9F) has an enhanced inhibitory activity on most of the nAChRs, including 47-fold promotion on α1β1δε nAChR. However, H9 and H12 only showed weak inhibitory activity on α9α10 and α1β1δε nAChRs, and the acidic oligopeptide D9 has no inhibitory activity on nAChRs. Flexible docking of K9 in α10(+) α9(-) and α7(+) α7(-) binding pockets showed particularly strong dipole-dipole interactions, which may be responsible for the inhibition of nAChRs. These results demonstrated that oligo-basic amino acids have the potential to be the lead compounds as selective nAChR subtype inhibitors, and oligo-lysines deserved to be modified for further exploitation and utilization. On the other hand, the toxicity and side effects of these nAChR inhibitory peptides should be contemplated in the application.

Abstract
The treatment and management of tuberculosis using conventional drug delivery systems remain challenging due to the setbacks involved. The lengthy and costly treatment regime and patients' non-compliance have led to drug-resistant tuberculosis, which is more difficult to treat. Also, anti-tubercular drugs currently used are poor water-soluble drugs with low bioavailability and poor therapeutic efficiency except at higher doses which causes drug-related toxicity. Novel drug delivery carrier systems such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been identified as nanomedicines capable of addressing the challenges mentioned due to their biocompatibility. The review discusses the sol-gel synthesis and chemistry of MSNs as porous drug nanocarriers, surface functionalization techniques and the influence of their physico-chemical properties on drug solubility, loading and release kinetics. It outlines the physico-chemical characteristics of MSNs encapsulated with anti-tubercular drugs.

Abstract
Design of biosensors capable of imaging ATP and glutathione (GSH) in mitochondria remains a challenge, despite their importance in elucidating their correlated pathophysiological events. Here, we report a new strategy that uses redox-activatable aptamer sensor design combined with nanoparticle-based targeting capability to achieve spatially controlled, AND-gated imaging of ATP and GSH in mitochondria. The DNA nanodevice was designed by the controlled assembly of the redox-responsive ATP aptamer probe on the nanoparticles and further decorated with mitochondria-targeting signals. We demonstrate that the system allows for mitochondria-specific, correlated imaging of ATP and GSH in living cells and in vivo. Furthermore, because the system can be lighted up only when meeting the "dual keys" (overexpressed ATP and GSH in mitochondria) simultaneously, the DNA nanodevice enables specific imaging of tumors in vivo with improved tumor-to-normal tissue ratio. This work illustrates the potential of the DNA nanodevices in the imaging of mitochondrial multivariate targets.

Abstract
Articular cartilage injury, as a hallmark of arthritic diseases, is difficult to repair and causes joint pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. Over the years, the most significant problems for the drug-based treatment of arthritis have been related to drug administration and delivery. In recent years, much research has been devoted to developing new strategies for repairing or regenerating the damaged osteoarticular tissue. The RNA interference (RNAi) has been suggested to have the potential for implementation in targeted therapy in which the faulty gene can be edited by delivering its complementary Short Interfering RNA (siRNA) at the post-transcriptional stage. The successful editing of a specific gene by the delivered siRNA might slow or halt osteoarthritic diseases without side effects caused by chemical inhibitors. However, cartilage siRNA delivery remains a challenging objective because cartilage is an avascular and very dense tissue with very low permeability. Furthermore, RNA is prone to degradation by serum nucleases (such as RNase H and RNase A) due to an extra hydroxyl group in its phosphodiester backbone. Therefore, successful delivery is the first and most crucial requirement for efficient RNAi therapy. Nanomaterials have emerged as highly advantage tools for these studies, as they can be engineered to protect siRNA from degrading, address barriers in siRNA delivery to joints, and target specific cells. This review will discuss recent breakthroughs of different siRNA delivery technologies for cartilage diseases.

Abstract
Bone diseases constitute a major issue for modern societies as a consequence of progressive aging. Advantages such as open mesoporous channel, high specific surface area, ease of surface modification, and multifunctional integration are the driving forces for the application of mesoporous nanoparticles (MNs) in bone disease diagnosis and treatment. To achieve better therapeutic effects, it is necessary to understand the properties of MNs and cargo delivery mechanisms, which are the foundation and key in the design of MNs. The main types and characteristics of MNs for bone regeneration, such as mesoporous silica (mSiO2 ), mesoporous hydroxyapatite (mHAP), mesoporous calcium phosphates (mCaPs) are introduced. Additionally, the relationship between the cargo release mechanisms and bone regeneration of MNs-based nanocarriers is elucidated in detail. Particularly, MNs-based smart cargo transport strategies such as sustained cargo release, stimuli-responsive (e.g., pH, photo, ultrasound, and multi-stimuli) controllable delivery, and specific bone-targeted therapy for bone disease diagnosis and treatment are analyzed and discussed in depth. Lastly, the conclusions and outlook about the design and development of MNs-based cargo delivery systems in diagnosis and treatment for bone tissue engineering are provided to inspire new ideas and attract researchers' attention from multidisciplinary areas spanning chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Developing strategies to optimize double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) delivery remains a significant challenge in improving RNA interference (RNAi) in insects. Nanoformulations may provide an avenue for the safe and effective delivery of dsRNA. We investigated nanoparticle-mediated gene silencing using biodegradable polymers, poly-l-lysine (PLL), and polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) for dsRNA delivery into Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells. Negatively charged cores were formed by EGCG and dsRNA complexes, and PLL was used to encapsulate the cores. The nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) analysis. The stability of the nanoparticles was assessed by incubating them in nuclease-containing Sf9 cell conditioned media. The effectiveness of the nanoparticles was investigated in Sf9 cells stably expressing the luciferase gene. The results revealed that the nanoparticles formed were small and spherical. The PLL/EGCG/dsRNA nanoparticles exhibited better stability compared to that of PLL/dsRNA or naked dsRNA. Nanoparticles prepared with dsRNA targeting the luciferase gene induced an efficient knockdown (66.7%) of the target gene. In Sf9 cells, nanoparticles prepared with Cy3- or CyPHer-5E-labeled dsRNA showed higher cellular uptake and endosomal escape, respectively, than the naked dsRNA. The improvement in uptake and cytosolic delivery may have helped to increase the knockdown efficiency. In Sf9 cells, the nanoparticles prepared with dsRNA targeting the inhibitor of apoptosis gene induced apoptosis by knocking down its expression. In conclusion, we demonstrate that PLL/EGCG/dsRNA nanoparticles are stable, highly efficient, and effective in dsRNA delivery and knockdown of the target gene.

Abstract
In recent years, gene therapy has come into the spotlight for the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. Polypeptides have been widely used in mediating nucleic acid delivery, due to their versatilities in chemical structures, desired biodegradability, and low cytotoxicity. Chemistry plays an essential role in the development of innovative polypeptides to address the challenges of producing efficient and safe gene vectors. In this Review, we mainly focused on the latest chemical advances in the design and preparation of polypeptide-based nucleic acid delivery vehicles. We first discussed the synthetic approach of polypeptides via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), and introduced the various types of polypeptide-based gene delivery systems. The extracellular and intracellular barriers against nucleic acid delivery were then outlined, followed by detailed review on the recent advances in polypeptide-based delivery systems that can overcome these barriers to enable in vitro and in vivo gene transfection. Finally, we concluded this review with perspectives in this field.

Abstract
Functional nucleic acid (FNA) nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field between nucleic acid biochemistry and nanotechnology that focuses on the study of interactions between FNAs and nanomaterials and explores the particular advantages and applications of FNA nanomaterials. With the goal of building the next-generation biomaterials that combine the advantages of FNAs and nanomaterials, the interactions between FNAs and nanomaterials as well as FNA self-assembly technologies have established themselves as hot research areas, where the target recognition, response, and self-assembly ability, combined with the plasmon properties, stability, stimuli-response, and delivery potential of various nanomaterials can give rise to a variety of novel fascinating applications. As research on the structural and functional group features of FNAs and nanomaterials rapidly develops, many laboratories have reported numerous methods to construct FNA nanomaterials. In this Review, we first introduce some widely used FNAs and nanomaterials along with their classification, structure, and application features. Then we discuss the most successful methods employing FNAs and nanomaterials as elements for creating advanced FNA nanomaterials. Finally, we review the extensive applications of FNA nanomaterials in bioimaging, biosensing, biomedicine, and other important fields, with their own advantages and drawbacks, and provide our perspective about the issues and developing trends in FNA nanotechnology.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) offer many advantageous properties for applications in the field of nanobiotechnology. Loading of small molecules into MSNs is straightforward and widely applied, but with the upswing of both research and commercial interest in biological drugs in recent years, also biomacromolecules have been loaded into MSNs for delivery purposes. MSNs possess many critical properties making them a promising and versatile carrier for biomacromolecular delivery. In this chapter, we review the effects of the various structural parameters of MSNs on the effective loading of biomacromolecular therapeutics, with focus on maintaining stability and drug delivery performance. We also emphasize recent studies involving the use of MSNs in the delivery of biomacromolecular drugs, especially for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Owing to the limitations of conventional cancer therapies, cancer immunotherapy has emerged for the prevention of cancer recurrence. To provoke adaptive immune responses that are antigen-specific, it is important to develop an efficient antigen delivery system that can enhance the activation and maturation of the dendritic cells (DCs) in the human body. In this study, we synthesize hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles with extra-large mesopores (H-XL-MSNs) based on a single-step synthesis from core-shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a core composed of an assembly of iron oxide nanoparticles. The hollow void inside the mesoporous silica nanoparticles with large mesopores allows a high loading efficiency of various model proteins of different sizes. The H-XL-MSNs are coated with a poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) solution to provide an immune adjuvant and change the surface charge of the particles for loading and slow release of a model antigen. An in vitro study using a cancer vaccine based on the PEI-coated H-XL-MSNs with the loading of the model antigen showed an enhanced activation of the DCs. An in vivo study demonstrated that the resulting cancer vaccine increased the antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells, enhanced the suppression of tumor growth, and improved the survival rate after challenging cancer to mice. These findings suggest that these hollow MSNs with extra-large pores can be used as excellent antigen carriers for immunotherapy.

Abstract
Advances in gene therapy have been foreshadowing its potential for the treatment of a vast range of diseases involving genetic malfunctioning. However, its therapeutic efficiency and successful outcome are highly dependent on the development of the ideal gene delivery system. On that matter, silica-based vectors have diverted some attention from viral and other types of non-viral vectors due to their increased safety, easily modifiable structure and surface, high stability, and cost-effectiveness. The versatility of silane chemistry and the combination of silica with other materials, such as polymers, lipids, or inorganic particles, has resulted in the development of carriers with great loading capacities, ability to effectively protect and bind genetic material, targeted delivery, and stimuli-responsive release of cargos. Promising results have been obtained both in vitro and in vivo using these nanosystems as multifunctional platforms in different potential therapeutic areas, such as cancer or brain therapies, sometimes combined with imaging functions. Herein, the current advances in silica-based systems designed for gene therapy are reviewed, including their main properties, fabrication methods, surface modifications, and potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Multifunctional core-shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) were tailored in size ranging from 60 to 160 nm as delivery agents for antitumoral microRNA (miRNA). The positively charged particle core with a pore diameter of about 5 nm and a stellate pore morphology allowed for an internal, protective adsorption of the fragile miRNA cargo. A negatively charged particle surface enabled the association of a deliberately designed block copolymer with the MSN shell by charge-matching, simultaneously acting as a capping as well as endosomal release agent. Furthermore, the copolymer was functionalized with the peptide ligand GE11 targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR. These multifunctional nanoparticles showed an enhanced uptake into EGFR-overexpressing T24 bladder cancer cells through receptor-mediated cellular internalization. A luciferase gene knock-down of up to 65% and additional antitumoral effects such as a decreased cell migration as well as changes in cell cycle were observed. We demonstrate that nanoparticles with a diameter of 160 nm show the fastest cellular internalization after a very short incubation time of 45 min and produce the highest level of gene knock-down.

Abstract
Core-shell structured magnetic mesoporous polymer or carbon-based microspheres not only possess the combined merits of magnetic particles and stable mesoporous shell but also provide various organic functional groups for further modification and immobilization of active sites, thus opening up more possibility for various applications. Herein, a bottom-up soft-templating strategy is developed to controllably synthesize core-shell magnetic mesoporous polydopamine microspheres (MMP) and their derivative magnetic mesoporous carbon (MMC) microspheres via an amphiphilic block copolymer-directed interface assembly and polymerization (denoted as abc-DIAP) approach. The obtained uniform MMP microspheres have a well-defined structure consisting of magnetic core, silica middle layer and mesoporous PDA shell, uniform mesopores of 11.9 nm, high specific surface areas (235.6 m2 g-1) and rich functional groups. They show fast magnetic separation speed and superior performance in selective adsorption of Cyt.C from complex biosample solutions. Moreover, they can be in situ converted into core-shell magnetic mesoporous carbon (MMC) for efficient in-pore immobilization of ultrafine Au nanoparticles for high-efficiency catalytic epoxidation of styrene with high conversion (88.6%) and selectivity (90.1%) toward styrene oxide.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica particles (MSP) are major candidates for drug delivery systems due to their versatile, safe, and controllable nature. Understanding their intracellular route and biodegradation process is a challenge, especially when considering their use in neuronal repair. Here, we characterize the spatiotemporal intracellular destination and degradation pathways of MSP upon endocytosis by HeLa cells and NSC-34 motor neurons using confocal and electron microscopy imaging together with inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy analysis. We demonstrate how MSP are captured by receptor-mediated endocytosis and are temporarily stored in endo-lysosomes before being finally exocytosed. We also illustrate how particles are often re-endocytosed after undergoing surface erosion extracellularly. On the other hand, silica particles engineered to target the cytosol with a carbon nanotube coating, are safely dissolved intracellularly in a time scale of hours. These studies provide fundamental clues for programming the sub-cellular fate of MSP and reveal critical aspects to improve delivery strategies and to favor MSP safe elimination. We also demonstrate how the cytosol is significantly more corrosive than lysosomes for MSP and show how their biodegradation is fully biocompatible, thus, validating their use as nanocarriers for nervous system cells, including motor neurons.

Abstract
Introduction Stem cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) are intended to replace lost dopaminergic neurons. The basis of this treatment is to guide the migration of transplanted cells into the target tissue or injury site. The aim of this study is an evaluation of the homing of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) labeled adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) by an external magnetic field in a rat model of PD. Methods ADSCs were obtained from perinephric regions of male adult rats and cultured in a DMEM medium. ADSC markers were assessed by immunostaining with CD90, CD105, CD49d, and CD45. The SPION was coated using poly-L-lysine hydrobromide and transfection was determined in rat ADSC using the GFP reporter gene. For this in vivo study, rats with PD were divided into five groups: a positive control group, a control group with PD (lesion with 6-HD injection), and three treatment groups: the PD/ADSC group (PD transplant with ADSCs transfected by BrdU), PD/ADSC/SPION group (PD transplant with ADSCs labeled with SPION and transfected by GFP), and the PD/ADSC/SPION/EM group (PD transplant with ADSCs labeled with SPION and transfected by GFP induced with external magnet). Results ADSCs were immunoreactive to fat markers CD90 (90.73±1.7), CD105 (87.4±2.9) and CD49d (79.6±2.6), with negative immunostaining at the hematopoietic stem cell marker (CD45: 1.4±0.4). The efficiency of cells with SPION/PLL was about 96% of ADSC. The highest number of GFP-positive cells was in the ADSC/SPION/EM group (54.5±1.3), which was significantly different from that in ADSC/SPION group (30.83±3 and P<0.01). Conclusion Transfection of ADSC by SPION/PLL is an appropriate protocol for cell therapy. External magnets can be used for the delivery and homing of transplanted stem cells in the target tissue.

Abstract
Bone diseases, such as bone cancer, bone infection and osteoporosis, constitute a major issue for modern societies as a consequence of their progressive ageing. Even though these pathologies can be currently treated in the clinic, some of those treatments present drawbacks that may lead to severe complications. For instance, chemotherapy lacks great tumor tissue selectivity, affecting healthy and diseased tissues. In addition, the inappropriate use of antimicrobials is leading to the appearance of drug-resistant bacteria and persistent biofilms, rendering current antibiotics useless. Furthermore, current antiosteoporotic treatments present many side effects as a consequence of their poor bioavailability and the need to use higher doses. In view of the existing evidence, the encapsulation and selective delivery to the diseased tissues of the different therapeutic compounds seem highly convenient. In this sense, silica-based mesoporous nanoparticles offer great loading capacity within their pores, the possibility of modifying the surface to target the particles to the malignant areas and great biocompatibility. This manuscript is intended to be a comprehensive review of the available literature on complex bone diseases treated with silica-based mesoporous nanoparticles-the further development of which and eventual translation into the clinic could bring significant benefits for our future society.

Abstract
Various physicochemical parameters of poly-l-lysine (PLL) solutions comprising the diffusion coefficient, the electrophoretic mobility, the density, and the intrinsic viscosity were determined for the pH range 3.0-9.2. This allowed us to calculate derivative parameters characterizing the PLL molecule such as: zeta potential, the number of electrokinetic charges, ionization degree, contour length, and cross section area. These data were exploited in theoretical calculations of PLL adsorption kinetics on solid substrates under diffusion transport. A hybrid approach was used comprising a blocking function derived from the random sequential adsorption (RSA) model. In experiments, the PLL adsorption on mica was studied using the streaming potential measurements and interpreted in terms of a general electrokinetic model. This confirmed a side-on adsorption mechanism of the macroion molecules at the examined pH range. Additionally, using this method, the stability of PLL monolayers was determined performing in situ desorption kinetic experiments. In this way, the equilibrium adsorption constant and the energy minimum depth were determined. It was confirmed that the monolayer stability decreases with pH following the decrease in the number of electrokinetic charges per molecule. This confirmed the electrostatic interaction driven adsorption mechanism of PLL. It is also predicted that at pH 5.7-7.4 the monolayers were stable under diffusion-controlled desorption over the time exceeding 100 h. In addition to their significance for basic science, the results obtained in this work can be exploited for developing procedures for preparing stable PLL monolayers of well controlled coverage and electrokinetic properties.

Abstract
Chemically modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are of interest due to their chemical and thermal stability with adjustable morphology and porosity; therefore, it was aimed to develop and compare the MCM-41 MSNs functionalised with imidazole groups (MCM-41-Im) to unmodified (MCM-41-OH) and primary amine functionalised (MCM-41-NH2) MSNs for experimental gene delivery. The results show efficient transfection of the complexes of the plasmid and either MCM-41-NH2 or MCM-41-Im. Furthermore, following transfection of HeLa cells using MCM-41-Im, an enhanced GFP expression was achieved consistent with the noticeable DNase1 protection and endosomal escape properties of MCM-41-Im using carboxyfluorescein tracer.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have ideal characteristics as next generation of controlled drug delivery systems. In this study, a MSN-based nanocarrier was fabricated and gold nanoparticle (GNP)-biotin conjugates were successfully grafted onto the pore outlets of the prepared MSN. This bioconjugate served as a capping agent with a peptide-cleavable linker sensitive to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are overexpressed extracellular proteolytic enzymes in cancerous tissue. The prepared nanocarriers were fully characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). In vitro release studies showed efficient capping of MSNs with gold gate and controlled release of Doxorubicin (DOX) in the presence of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and acidic pH values. High DOX-loading capacity (21%) and encapsulation efficiency (95.5%) were achieved using fluorescence technique. DOX-loaded nanocarriers showed high cytocompatibility and could efficiently induce cell death and apoptosis in the MMP-2 overexpressed cell lines. Moreover, Haemolysis, platelet activation and inflammatory responses assessment approved excellent hemocompatibility and minimal side effects by encapsulation of DOX in MSNs carrier.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles provide the opportunity to localize bioactive agents to the target sites and protect them from degradation. In many cases, acute toxicities of inorganic nanoparticles used for delivery applications have been investigated. However, little information is available regarding the long-term toxicity of such materials. This review focuses on the importance of subchronic and chronic toxicity assessment of inorganic nanoparticles investigated for delivery applications. We have attempted to provide a comprehensive review of the available literature for chronic toxicity assessment of inorganic nanoparticles. Where possible correlations are made between particle composition, physiochemical properties, duration, frequency and route of administration, as well as the sex of animals, with tissue and blood toxicity, immunotoxicity and genotoxicity. A critical gap analysis is provided and important factors that need to be considered for long-term toxicology of inorganic nanoparticles are discussed.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) can be taken up by cells; however, the effects of the structural characteristics of NPs on their cellular internalization have not been well explored. In this work, cellular internalization performances of various NPs including rods with helical surface (helical rods), spheres with stripe-pattern surface (striped spheres), and spheres with smooth surface (smooth spheres) were investigated by a combination of experiments and theoretical simulations. This study focuses on the effects of the size, shape, and surface morphology on their cellular internalization behaviors. These NPs were self-assembled from mixtures of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled poly(γ-benzyl-l-glutamate)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (PBLG(FITC)-b-PEG) block copolymers and PBLG or polystyrene (PS) homopolymers. It was found that the NPs possessing smaller size, rod-like shape, and helical/striped surface morphology exhibit higher cellular internalization efficiency. Such differences in the internalization efficiency for the NPs can be attributed to the differences in both their surface areas and internalization pathways. This study could not only guide the design of nanocarriers with enhanced cellular internalization efficiency, but also deepen our understanding of the internalization behavior of natural NPs with similar structures (e.g., virus).
