Maximino MD, Kavazoi HS, Katata VM, Alessio P. Exploring the synergistic effects of amoxicillin and methylene blue on unsaturated lipid structures: A study of Langmuir monolayers and giant unilamellar vesicles. Biophys Chem 2024; 307:107181. [PMID: 38232601 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpc.2024.107181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
The potentially toxic effects of emerging pollutant mixtures often deviate from the individual compound effects, presenting additive, synergistic, or agonistic interactions. This study delves into the complex world of emerging pollutants' mixtures, with a particular focus on their potential impact on unsaturated lipid DOPC (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine) structured as both monolayers and bilayers, which are valuable tools for mimicking cell membranes. Specifically, we examine the effects of two common types of pollutants: antibiotics (amoxicillin) and dyes (methylene blue). Utilizing Langmuir monolayers, our research reveals a synergistic effect within the pollutant mixture, as evidenced by pressure-area isotherms and polarization-modulated infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. We identify the specific chemical interactions contributing to this synergistic effect. Furthermore, through contrast phase microscopy experiments on giant unilamellar vesicles (bilayer system), we find that the individual pollutants and the mixture exhibit similar molecular effects on the bilayer, revealing that the molecular size is a key factor in the bilayer-mixture of pollutant interaction. This highlights the importance of considering molecular size in the interactions with bilayer systems. In summary, our research dissects the critical factors of chemical interactions and molecular size concerning the effects of pollutants on DOPC, serving as simplified models of cell membranes. This study underscores the significance of comprehending the molecular effects of emerging pollutants on human health and the development of models for exploring their intricate interactions with cell membranes.

Liguori GL. Challenges and Promise for Glioblastoma Treatment through Extracellular Vesicle Inquiry. Cells 2024; 13:336.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GB) is a rare but extremely aggressive brain tumor that significantly impacts patient outcomes, affecting both duration and quality of life. The protocol established by Stupp and colleagues in 2005, based on radiotherapy and chemotherapy with Temozolomide, following maximum safe surgical resection remains the gold standard for GB treatment; however, it is evident nowadays that the extreme intratumoral and intertumoral heterogeneity, as well as the invasiveness and tendency to recur, of GB are not compatible with a routine and unfortunately ineffective treatment. This review article summarizes the main challenges in the search for new valuable therapies for GB and focuses on the impact that extracellular vesicle (EV) research and exploitation may have in the field. EVs are natural particles delimited by a lipidic bilayer and filled with functional cellular content that are released and uptaken by cells as key means of cell communication. Furthermore, EVs are stable in body fluids and well tolerated by the immune system, and are able to cross physiological, interspecies, and interkingdom barriers and to target specific cells, releasing inherent or externally loaded functionally active molecules. Therefore, EVs have the potential to be ideal allies in the fight against GB and to improve the prognosis for GB patients. The present work describes the main preclinical results obtained so far on the use of EVs for GB treatment, focusing on both the EV sources and molecular cargo used in the various functional studies, primarily in vivo. Finally, a SWOT analysis is performed, highlighting the main advantages and pitfalls of developing EV-based GB therapeutic strategies. The analysis also suggests the main directions to explore to realize the possibility of exploiting EVs for the treatment of GB.

Abstract
Nanotechnology offers the possibility of revolutionizing cancer theranostics in the new era of precision oncology. Extracellular vesicles (EVs)-like biomimetic nanoparticles (EBPs) have recently emerged as a promising platform for targeted cancer drug delivery. Compared with conventional synthetic vehicles, EBPs have several advantages, such as lower immunogenicity, longer circulation time, and better targeting capability. Studies on EBPs as cancer therapeutics are rapidly progressing from in vitro experiments to in vivo animal models and early-stage clinical trials. Here, we describe engineering strategies to further improve EBPs as effective anticancer drug carriers, including genetic manipulation of original cells, fusion with synthetic nanomaterials, and direct modification of EVs. These engineering approaches can improve the anticancer performance of EBPs, especially in terms of tumor targeting effectiveness, stealth property, drug loading capacity, and integration with other therapeutic modalities. Finally, the current obstacles and future perspectives of engineered EBPs as the next-generation delivery platform for anticancer drugs are discussed.

Abstract
Cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are used increasingly in nanotechnology and particularly in biotechnology and bioresearch. Thus, CeO2 NPs have been successfully tested in vitro as a potential therapeutic agent for various pathologies associated with oxidative stress, including the formation of protein amyloid aggregates. In this study, to increase the anti-amyloidogenic efficiency and preserve the antioxidant potential, the surface of the synthesized CeO2 NPs is modified with a nonionic, sugar-based surfactant, dodecyl maltoside (DDM), which is known for its high anti-amyloidogenic activity and biocompatibility. Dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated successful modification by DDM. The apparent hydrodynamic diameters of CeO2 NPs and DDM-modified NPs (CeO2@DDM NPs) are found to be ⁓180 nm and ⁓260 nm, respectively. A positive zeta potential value of + 30.5 mV for CeO2 NPs and + 22.5 mV for CeO2 @DDM NPs suggest sufficient stability and good dispersion of NPs in an aqueous solution. A combination of Thioflavin T fluorescence analysis and atomic force microscopy is used to assess the effect of nanoparticles on the formation of insulin amyloid fibrils. Results show that the fibrillization of insulin is inhibited by both, naked and modified NPs in a dose-dependent manner. However, while the IC50 of naked NPs is found to be ∼270 ± 13 µg/mL, the surface-modified NPs are 50% more efficient with IC50 equaled to 135 ± 7 µg/mL. In addition, both, the naked CeO2 NPs and DDM-modified NPs displayed an antioxidant activity expressed as oxidase-, catalase- and SOD-like activity. Therefore, the resulting nanosized material is very well suited to prove or disprove the hypothesis that oxidative stress plays a role in the formation of amyloid fibrils.

Abstract
Nanomaterials and nanostructures have shown fascinating performances in various biomedicine fields, from cosmetic to cancer diagnosis and therapy. Engineered nanomaterials can encapsulate both lipophilic and hydrophilic substances/drugs to eliminate their limitations in the free forms, such as low bioavailability, multiple drug administration, off-target effects, and various side effects. Moreover, it is possible to deliver the loaded cargo to the desired site of action using engineered nanomaterials. One approach that has made nanocarriers more sophisticated is the "biomimetic" concept. In this scenario, biomolecules (e.g., natural proteins, peptides, phospholipids, cell membranes) are used as building blocks to construct nanocarriers and/or modify agents. For instance, it has been reported that specific cells tend to migrate to a particular site during specific circumstances (e.g., inflammation, tumor formation). Employing the cell membrane of these cells as a coating for nanocarriers confers practical targeting approaches. Accordingly, we introduce the biomimetic concept in the current study, review the recent studies, challenge the issues, and provide practical solutions.

Abstract
The development of high-flux, durable and completely self-cleaning membranes is highly desired for separation of massive oil/water mixtures. Herein, differently crosslinked poly(2-methacryloyloxylethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) brush grafted stainless steel mesh (SSM) membranes (SSM/PMPCs) were fabricated by integrating of mussel inspired universal adhesion and crosslinking chemistry with surface-initiated activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ARGET-ATRP). The durability and self-cleaning performance of the prepared SSM membranes were evaluated by separating sticky crude oil/water mixtures in a continuous recycling dead-end filtration device. The water filtration flux driven by gravity reached 60,000 L⋅m-2⋅h-1 with a separation efficiency of over 99.98%. Furthermore, zero-flux-decline was observed during a 5 h continuous filtration when assisted by mechanical stirring. More significantly, such a completely self-cleaning separation of the well crosslinked SSM/PMPC2 membrane under optimized flux and stirring conditions had been operated cumulatively for 190 h in 30 days without any additional cleaning. These significant advances are more promising for practical applications in crude oil-contaminated water treatments and massive oil/water mixture separation.

Abstract
Combining stimuli-responsive properties of gels with adhesive properties of mussels is highly interesting for a large field of applications as, e.g., in life science. Therefore, the present paper focuses on the copolymerization of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels with dopamine methacrylamide (DMA). A detailed understanding of reaction kinetics is crucial to figure out an optimized synthesis strategy for tailoring microgels with adhesive properties. The present study addresses the influence of relevant synthesis parameters as the injection time of DMA during the microgel synthesis and the overall reaction time of the microgel. Reaction kinetics were studied by mass spectrometry of time samples taken during the microgel synthesis. This allowed us to determine the monomer consumption of NIPAM, the cross-linker N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS), and DMA. A second-order reaction kinetics was found for DMA incorporation. The amount of DMA incorporated in the resulting microgel was successfully determined by a combination of UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy to level off limitations of both methods. The dependence of the hydrodynamic radius on temperature was determined by DLS measurements for the microgels. While an early injection of DMA stops the PNIPAM polymerization due to scavenging, it greatly enhances the reaction speed of DMA. The faster reaction of DMA and the incomplete NIPAM and BIS conversion also compensate for shorter reaction times with respect to the incorporated amount of DMA. On the contrary, a later injection of DMA leads to a full NIPAM monomer and BIS cross-linker consumption. An overall reaction time of 60 min ensures the DMA incorporation. Longer reaction times lead to clumping. First adhesion tests show an increased adhesion of P(NIPAM-co-DMA) microgels compared to pure PNIPAM microgels, when mechanical stress is applied.

Abstract
In the last few decades, the vast potential of nanomaterials for biomedical and healthcare applications has been extensively investigated. Several case studies demonstrated that nanomaterials can offer solutions to the current challenges of raw materials in the biomedical and healthcare fields. This review describes the different nanoparticles and nanostructured material synthesis approaches and presents some emerging biomedical, healthcare, and agro-food applications. This review focuses on various nanomaterial types (e.g., spherical, nanorods, nanotubes, nanosheets, nanofibers, core-shell, and mesoporous) that can be synthesized from different raw materials and their emerging applications in bioimaging, biosensing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, antimicrobial, and agro-foods. Depending on their morphology (e.g., size, aspect ratio, geometry, porosity), nanomaterials can be used as formulation modifiers, moisturizers, nanofillers, additives, membranes, and films. As toxicological assessment depends on sizes and morphologies, stringent regulation is needed from the testing of efficient nanomaterials dosages. The challenges and perspectives for an industrial breakthrough of nanomaterials are related to the optimization of production and processing conditions.

Abstract
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a major global health issue. Approximately 250 million new cases of STDs occur each year globally. Currently, only three STDs (human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis A, and hepatitis B) are preventable by vaccines. Vaccines for other STDs, including gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, await successful development. Currently, all of these STDs are treated with antibiotics. However, the efficacy of antibiotics is facing growing challenge due to the emergence of bacterial resistance. Therefore, alternative therapeutic approaches, including the development of vaccines against these STDs, should be explored to tackle this important global public health issue. Mass vaccination could be more efficient in reducing the spread of these highly contagious diseases. Bacterial outer membrane vesicle (OMV) is a potential antigen used to prevent STDs. OMVs are released spontaneously during growth by many Gram-negative bacteria. They present a wide range of surface antigens in native conformation that possess interesting properties such as immunogenicity, adjuvant potential, and the ability to be taken up by immune cells, all of which make them an attractive target for application as vaccines against pathogenic bacteria. The major challenge associated with the use of OMVs is its fragile structure and stability. However, a particulate form of the vaccine could be a suitable delivery system that can protect the antigen from degradation by a harsh acidic or enzymatic environment. The particulate form of the vaccine can also act as an adjuvant by itself. This review will highlight some practical methods for formulating microparticulate OMV-based vaccines for STDs.

Abstract
Nanostructured hyperbranched macromolecules have been extensively studied at the chemical, physical and morphological levels. The cellular structural and functional complexity of neural cells and their cross-talk have made it rather difficult to evaluate dendrimer effects in a mixed population of glial cells and neurons. Thus, we are at a relatively early stage of bench-to-bedside translation, and this is due mainly to the lack of data valuable for clinical investigations. It is only recently that techniques have become available that allow for analyses of biological processes inside the living cells, at the nanoscale, in real time. This review summarizes the essential properties of neural cells and dendrimers, and provides a cross-section of biological, pre-clinical and early clinical studies, where dendrimers were used as nanocarriers. It also highlights some examples of biological studies employing dendritic polyglycerol sulfates and their effects on glia and neurons. It is the aim of this review to encourage young scientists to advance mechanistic and technological approaches in dendrimer research so that these extremely versatile and attractive nanostructures gain even greater recognition in translational medicine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The utilization of polymeric nanoparticles, as drug payloads, has been extensively prevailed in cancer therapy. However, the precise distribution of these nanocarriers is restrained by various physiological and cellular obstacles. Nanoparticles must avoid nonspecific interactions with healthy cells and in vivo compartments to circumvent these barriers. Since in vivo interactions of nanoparticles are mainly dependent on surface properties of nanoparticles, efficient control on surface constituents is necessary for the determination of nanoparticles' fate in the body. AREAS COVERED In this review, the surface-modified polymeric nanoparticles and their utilization in cancer treatment were elaborated. First, the interaction of nanoparticles with numerous in vivo barriers was highlighted. Second, different strategies to overcome these obstacles were described. Third, some inspiring examples of surface-modified nanoparticles were presented. Later, fabrication and characterization methods of surface-modified nanoparticles were discussed. Finally, the applications of these nanoparticles in different routes of treatments were explored. EXPERT OPINION Surface modification of anticancer drug-loaded polymeric nanoparticles can enhance the efficacy, selective targeting, and biodistribution of the anticancer drug at the tumor site.

Abstract
Effect of functionalization on stability, solubility, and plasmonic features of gold nanoparticle with the general formula of Au18(SR)14 in water solvent has been studied in this work. Thiol functional groups including 1,1-mercapto-ethyl alcohol, s-cysteamine, thioglycolic acid, and beta-mercaptoethanol have been used. Electronic band-gap, excitation energies, dipole moment, and hardness for all gold nanoparticles in water solvent were investigated using the quantum mechanical approach. Intermolecular forces, radial distribution function (RDF), mean square displacement (MSD), and solvation free energy were calculated by using simulation methods. Electronic band-gap, and excitation energy analysis show that surface modification of gold nanoparticles can change their electronic and plasmonic properties. The analysis of dipole moments indicates that ligands affect the nanoparticle's solubility. An increase of hardness and therefore chemical stability can be observed for functionalized nanoparticles compared to the bare structure. Intermolecular energies analyses suggest that structure with 1,1-mercapto ethyl alcohol ligand has the strongest interaction with the solvent. The analysis of RDF diagrams also indicates that the molecule with 1,1-mercapto ethyl alcohol ligand has the sharpest pick. The slope of the linear part of MSD diagrams that is the criterion of solute's lateral diffusion is the highest value for nanoparticle with 1,1-mercapto ethyl alcohol ligand. Furthermore, functionalization also affects solvation free energy contributions. According to obtained data of quantum mechanical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations, it may be concluded that particle with 1,1-mercapto ethyl alcohol is the best ligand for increasing solubility, stability, and plasmonic functions of Au18(SR)14 structures among the examined ones.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanotechnology through camouflaging synthetic nanoparticles (NPs) with natural cell membranes, which bestows with immune evasion and superior targeting capacity, has been extensively used in drug delivery systems (DDS) over the last decades. These biomimetic NPs not only retain the physicochemical features of the synthetic vehicles but also inherit the cell membranes' intrinsic functionalities. Combined with these benefits, optimized nano-biomimetic DDS allow maximum delivery efficacy. Compared to erythrocyte/cancer single cell membrane, the hybrid cell membrane expressing CD47 membrane protein and self-recognition molecules, from erythrocytes and cancer cells, provides remarkable features to the synthetic vehicles, such as immune evasion, long-term circulation, and homotypic targeting. In this review, we describe the preparation strategies, the camouflaging mechanism, and the antitumor applications of hybrid cell membrane-camouflaged NPs. Moreover, we discuss further modification of the hybrid cell membrane and the surface properties of fusion cellular membranes. Finally, we summarize the primary challenges and opportunities associated with these NPs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Camouflaging synthetic nanoparticles with hybrid cell membrane has been extensively highlighted in recent years. The resultant biomimetic nanoparticles not only reserve the physicochemical properties of the synthetic nanoparticles but also inherit the biological functions of source cells. Compared with single cell membrane, hybrid cell membrane can endow synthetic nanoparticles with multiple biofunctions derived from the original source cells. To provide a timely review of this rapidly developing subject of research, this paper summarized recent progress on the hybrid cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles as drug delivery systems for cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we focused primarily on five different types of hybrid cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles with the preparation strategies, the camouflaging mechanism, and the antitumor applications. Moreover, further modification of the hybrid cell membrane was also discussed for isolating effectively circulating tumor cells.

Abstract
Here we describe a simple and straightforward synthesis of different multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles by using surface bound thiol-groups as transfer agents in a free radical polymerization process. The modification includes a first step of surface silanization with (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane to obtain thiol-modified nanoparticles, which are further used as a platform for modification with a broad variety of polymers. The silanization was optimized in terms of shell thickness and particle size distribution, and the obtained materials were investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Subsequently, the free radical polymerization of different monomers (tert-butyl acrylate (tBA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), styrene, 2-vinyl pyridine (2VP), and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm)) was examined in the presence of the thiol-modified nanoparticles. During the process, a covalently anchored polymeric shell was formed and the resulting core–shell hybrid materials were analyzed in terms of size (DLS, TEM), shell thickness (TGA, TEM), and the presence of functional groups (attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR)). Hereby, the shell leads to a different solution behavior of the particles and in some cases an increased stability towards acids. Moreover, we examined the influence of the nanoparticle concentration during polymerization and we found a significant influence on dispersity of the resulting polymers. Finally, we compared the characteristics of the surface bound polymer and polymer formed in solution for the case of polystyrene. The herein presented approach provides straightforward access to a wide range of core–shell nanocomposites.

Abstract
Zwitterions are a class of unique molecules that can be modified onto nanomaterials to render them with antifouling properties. Here we report a thorough NMR investigation of dendrimers modified with zwitterions in terms of their structure, hydrodynamic size, and diffusion time in aqueous solution. In this present work, poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 5 (G5) were partially decorated with carboxybetaine acrylamide (CBAA), 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), and 1,3-propane sultone (1,3-PS), respectively with different modification degrees. The formed zwitterion-modified G5 dendrimers were characterized using NMR techniques. We show that the zwitterion modification leads to increased G5 dendrimer size in aqueous solution, suggesting that the modified zwitterions can form a hydration layer on the surface of G5 dendrimers. In addition, the hydrodynamic sizes of G5 dendrimers modified with different zwitterions but with the same degree of surface modification are discrepant depending on the type of zwitterions. The present study provides a new physical insight into the structure of zwitterion-modified G5 dendrimers by NMR techniques, which is beneficial for further design of different biomedical applications.

Nanoparticle reinforced bacterial outer-membrane vesicles effectively prevent fatal infection of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Abstract
Infection resulting from carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is an intractable clinical problem. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from CRKP are believed to be potential vaccine candidates. However, their immune response remains elusive due to low structural stability and poor size homogeneity. In this study, hollow OMVs were reinforced internally by size-controlled BSA nanoparticles to obtain uniform and stable vaccines through hydrophobic interaction. The result showed that the BSA-OMV nanoparticles (BN-OMVs) were homogenous with a size around 100 nm and exhibited a core-shell structure. Remarkably, subcutaneous BN-OMVs vaccination mediated significantly higher CRKP specific antibody titers. The survival rate of the mice infected with a lethal dose of CRKP was increased significantly after BN-OMV immunization. The adoptive transfer experiment demonstrated that the protective effect of BN-OMVs was dependent on humoral and cellular immunity. This study demonstrated that the structure optimization improved the immune efficacy of OMVs for vaccine development against CRKP.

Designing Silver Nanoparticles for Detecting Levodopa (3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine, L-Dopa) Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS). SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 20:E15.

Abstract
Detection of the drug Levodopa (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, L-Dopa) is essential for the medical treatment of several neural disorders, including Parkinson's disease. In this paper, we employed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with three shapes of silver nanoparticles (nanostars, AgNS; nanospheres, AgNP; and nanoplates, AgNPL) to detect L-Dopa in the nanoparticle dispersions. The sensitivity of the L-Dopa SERS signal depended on both nanoparticle shape and L-Dopa concentration. The adsorption mechanisms of L-Dopa on the nanoparticles inferred from a detailed analysis of the Raman spectra allowed us to determine the chemical groups involved. For instance, at concentrations below/equivalent to the limit found in human plasma (between 10-7-10-8 mol/L), L-Dopa adsorbs on AgNP through its ring, while at 10-5-10-6 mol/L adsorption is driven by the amino group. At even higher concentrations, above 10-4 mol/L, L-Dopa polymerization predominates. Therefore, our results show that adsorption depends on both the type of Ag nanoparticles (shape and chemical groups surrounding the Ag surface) and the L-Dopa concentration. The overall strategy based on SERS is a step forward to the design of nanostructures to detect analytes of clinical interest with high specificity and at varied concentration ranges.

Abstract
Intracellular pH sensing with fluorescent nanoparticles is an emerging topic as pH plays several roles in physiology and pathologic processes. Here, nanoparticle-sized pH sensors (diameter far below 50 nm) for fluorescence imaging have been described. Consequently, a fluorescent derivative of pH-sensitive hydroxypyrene with pK a = 6.1 was synthesized and subsequently embedded in core and core-shell silica nanoparticles via a modified Stöber process. The detailed fluorescence spectroscopic characterization of the produced nanoparticles was carried out for retrieving information about the environment within the nanoparticle core. Several steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic methods hint to the screening of the probe molecule from the solvent, but it sustained interactions with hydrogen bonds similar to that of water. The incorporation of the indicator dye in the water-rich silica matrix neither changes the acidity constant nor dramatically slows down the protonation kinetics. However, cladding by another SiO2 shell leads to the partial substitution of water and decelerating the response of the probe molecule toward pH. The sensor is capable of monitoring pH changes in a physiological range by using ratiometric fluorescence excitation with λ ex = 405 nm and λ ex = 488 nm, as confirmed by the confocal fluorescence imaging of intracellular nanoparticle uptake.

Abstract
Biological and synthetic nanostructures can influence both glia and neurons in the central nervous system. Neurons represent only a small proportion (about 10%) of cells in the brain, whereas glial cells are the most abundant cell type. Non-targeted nanomedicines are mainly internalized by glia, in particular microglia, and to a lesser extent by astrocytes. Internalized nanomedicines by glia indirectly modify the functional status of neurons.

Abstract
Herein, we report the attenuated impact of bioinspired nanoparticles on the essential function of lung surfactant. Colloidal particles made from poly(lactide) caused a significant loss of surfactant protein B (and C) from a natural lung surfactant accompanied by a decline in surface activity under static conditions and surface area cycling. No such perturbation of lung surfactant composition and function was observed for polymer nanoparticles coated with bioinspired poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC). More specifically, increasing the PMPC-coating layer thickness (≥3 nm) and density (dense conformation, distance of individual polymer chains of ≤3 nm) on the polymer nanoparticle surface diminished bioadverse events. PMPC-coated poly(lactide) nanoparticles provoked a less severe perturbation of the utilized lung surfactant when compared to colloidal counterparts coated with poly(ethylene glycol). Overall, a steric shielding of colloidal drug delivery vehicles with bioinspired PMPC can be considered as a valuable approach for the rationale development of biocompatible nanomedicines intended for lung delivery.

Hydrosilylation of Reactive Quantum Dots and Siloxanes for Stable Quantum Dot Films. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11050905.

Abstract
The reactive acrylate-terminated CdZnSeS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were designed and prepared by the effective synthetic route to bond with a siloxane matrix via hydrosilylation. The conventional QD with oleic acid ligands does not have any reactivity, so the QDs were functionalized to assign reactivity for the QDs by the ligand modification of two step reactions. The oleic acid of the QDs was exchanged for hydroxyl-terminated ligands as an intermediate product by one-pot reaction. The hydroxyl-terminated QDs and acrylate-containing isocyanates were combined by nucleophilic addition reaction with forming urethane bonds and terminal acrylate groups. No degradation in quantum yield was observed after ligand exchange, nor following the nucleophilic addition reaction. The modification reactions of ligands were quantitatively controlled and their molecular structures were precisely confirmed by FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The QDs with acrylate ligands were then reacted with hydride-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (H-PDMS) to form a QD-siloxane matrix by thermal curing via hydro-silylation for the first time. The covalent bonding between the QDs and the siloxane matrix led to improvements in the stability against oxygen and moisture. Stability at 85 °C and 85% relative humidity (RH) were both improved by 22% for the QD-connected siloxane QD films compared with the corresponding values for conventional QD-embedded poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) films. The photo-stability of the QD film after 26 h under a blue light-emitting diode (LED) was also improved by 45% in comparison with those of conventional QD-embedded PMMA films.

Abstract
The increasing complexity of environmental pollution nowadays poses a severe threat to the public health, which attracts considerable attentions in searching for nanomaterials of multiproperty. In this study, mesoporous silica of KIT-6-encapsulated bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), an intrinsically multifunctional material exhibiting bunched structure in the composites, are facilely prepared under hydrothermal conditions. Subsequently, the produced materials of multifunctionality were applied for photocatalysis, antibacterial test, and simultaneous determination of heavy metals including lead and cadmium. A combination of physiochemical characterizations have revealed that the BiOCl-KIT-6 composites exhibit enlarged yet refined surface morphology contributing to the improved photocatalytic ability with a band gap of 3.06 eV at a molecular ratio of 8Bi-Si. Moreover, the antibacterial activities of our BiOCl-KIT-6 composites were explored, and possible antimicrobial mechanism related to the production of reactive oxygen species was discussed. Furthermore, a sensitive electrochemical determination of heavy metals of lead and cadmium using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry was also achieved. The composites-modified glassy carbon electrode displays a linear range of calibration curve from 0.2 to 300 μg/L with a detection limit of 0.05 μg/L (Pb2+) and 0.06 μg/L (Cd2+), respectively.

Acta Biomater 2017; 59:129-138.

Abstract
A versatile fabrication and performance optimization strategy of PEG and zwitterionic polymer coatings is developed on the sensor chip of surface plasma resonance (SPR) instrument. A random copolymer bearing phosphorylcholine zwitterion and active ester side chains (PMEN) and carboxylic PEG coatings with comparable thicknesses were deposited on SPR sensor chips via amidation coupling on the precoated polydopamine (PDA) intermediate layer. The PMEN coating showed much stronger resistance to bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption than PEG coating at very thin thickness (∼1nm). However, the BSA resistant efficacy of PEG coating could exceed that of PMEN due to stronger steric repelling effect when the thickness increased to 1.5∼3.3nm. Interestingly, both the PEG and PMEN thick coatings (≈3.6nm) showed ultralow fouling by BSA and bovine plasma fibrinogen (Fg). Moreover, changes in the PEG end group from -OH to -COOH, protein adsorption amount could increase by 10-fold. Importantly, the optimized PMEN and PEG-OH coatings were easily duplicated on other substrates due to universal adhesion of the PDA layer, showed excellent resistance to platelet, bacteria and proteins, and no significant difference in the antifouling performances was observed. These detailed results can explain the reported discrepancy in performances between PEG and zwitterionic polymer coatings by thickness. This facile and substrate-independent coating strategy may benefit the design and manufacture of advanced antifouling biomedical devices and long circulating nanocarriers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Prevention of biofouling is one of the biggest challenges for all biomedical applications. However, it is very difficult to fabricate a highly hydrophilic antifouling coating on inert materials or large devices. In this study, PEG and zwitterion polymers, the most widely investigated polymers with best antifouling performance, are conveniently immobilized on different kinds of substrates from their aqueous solutions by precoating a polydopamine intermediate layer as the universal adhesive and readily re-modifiable surface. Importantly, the coating fabrication and antifouling performance can be monitored and optimized quantitatively by a surface plasma resonance (SPR) system. More significantly, the SPR on-line optimized coatings were successfully duplicated off-line on other substrates, and supported by their excellent antifouling properties.

Abstract
Compartmentalization of biological content and function is a key architectural feature in biology, where membrane bound micro- and nanocompartments are used for performing a host of highly specialized and tightly regulated biological functions. The benefit of compartmentalization as a design principle is behind its ubiquity in cells and has led to it being a central engineering theme in construction of artificial cell-like systems. In this review, we discuss the attractions of designing compartmentalized membrane-bound constructs and review a range of biomimetic membrane architectures that span length scales, focusing on lipid-based structures but also addressing polymer-based and hybrid approaches. These include nested vesicles, multicompartment vesicles, large-scale vesicle networks, as well as droplet interface bilayers, and double-emulsion multiphase systems (multisomes). We outline key examples of how such structures have been functionalized with biological and synthetic machinery, for example, to manufacture and deliver drugs and metabolic compounds, to replicate intracellular signaling cascades, and to demonstrate collective behaviors as minimal tissue constructs. Particular emphasis is placed on the applications of these architectures and the state-of-the-art microfluidic engineering required to fabricate, functionalize, and precisely assemble them. Finally, we outline the future directions of these technologies and highlight how they could be applied to engineer the next generation of cell models, therapeutic agents, and microreactors, together with the diverse applications in the emerging field of bottom-up synthetic biology.

Abstract
Today, the advanced drug delivery systems have been focused on targeted drug delivery fields. The novel drug delivery is involved with the improvement of the capacity of drug loading in drug carriers, cellular uptake of drug carriers, and the sustained release of drugs within target cells. In this review, six groups of therapeutic drug carriers including biomimetic hydrogels, biomimetic micelles, biomimetic liposomes, biomimetic dendrimers, biomimetic polymeric carriers and biomimetic nanostructures, are studied. The subject takes advantage of the biomimetic methods of productions or the biomimetic techniques for the surface modifications, similar to what accrues in natural cells. Moreover, the effects of these biomimetic approaches for promoting the drug efficiency in targeted drug delivery are visible. The study demonstrates that the fabrication of biomimetic nanocomposite drug carriers could noticeably promote the efficiency of drugs in targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are suitable candidates for photothermal therapy in vivo, because of their excellent ability to transfer near-infrared (NIR) light into heat. However, appropriate surface should be generated on AuNRs before their in vivo application because of the low colloidal stability in complicate biological environment and relatively strong toxicity compared to their pristine stabilizer cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. In the current study, polysarcosine (PS), a non-ionic hydrophilic polypeptoid whose structure is similar to polypeptides, bearing repeating units of natural α-amino acid, was used to stabilize AuNRs due to its excellent hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. Polysarcosine with optimized molecular weight was synthesized and used to modify AuNRs by traditional ligand exchange. The grafting of PS on AuNRs was evidenced by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and the alternation of surface zeta potential. The polysarcosine coated AuNRs (Au@PS) showed good stabilities in wide pH range and simulated physiological buffer with the ligand competition of dithiothreitol (DTT). The Au@PS NRs had neglectable cytotoxicity and showed efficient ablation of tumor cells in vitro. Moreover, Au@PS NRs had a longer circulation time in body that resulted in a higher accumulation in solid tumors after intravenous injection, compared to AuNRs capped with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Photothermal therapy in vivo demonstrated that the tumors were completely destroyed by single-time irradiation of NIR laser after one-time injection of the polysarcosine capped AuNRs. The Au@PS NRs did not cause obvious toxicity in vivo, suggesting promising potential in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Platelets have long been recognised to colocalise with tumour cells throughout haematogenous metastasis. Interactions between these cells contribute to tumour cell survival and motility through the vasculature into other tissues. Now, the research focus is shifting towards developing means to exploit this relationship to provide accurate diagnostics and therapies. Alterations to platelet count, RNA profile, and platelet ultrastructure are associated with the presence of certain malignancies, and may be used for cancer detection. Additionally, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems are enhanced through the use of platelet membranes to specifically target cancer cells and camouflage the foreign particles from the immune system. This review discusses the development of platelets into highly powerful tools for cancer diagnostics and therapies.

Abstract
The use of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based nanocarriers presents several major challenges, including their synthetic hydrophobic surface, low transfection efficiency, short circulation half-life, and nonspecific tissue distribution. Numerous engineering strategies have been employed to overcome these problems, with lipid-based surface functionalization of PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) showing promising results in the development of PLGA-based clinical nanomedicines. Surface engineering with different lipids enhances the target specificity of the carrier and improves its physicochemical properties as well as NP-cell associations, such as cellular membrane permeability, immune responses, and long circulation half-life in vivo. This review focuses on recent advances in the lipid-based surface engineering of PLGA NPs for drug and gene delivery applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with two active targeting ligands have been proposed in drug delivery for their promising capability to stimulate different pathways with one object. Due to the multivalency, the construction and analysis of the effective surface of such bifunctional nanoparticles, however, is significantly more complex than for nanoparticles bearing only one ligand. Here, we optimize construction and analysis of bifunctional NPs containing recognizable combinations of human serum albumin (HSA), transferrin (Tf), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on fluorescent silica NPs grafted via common polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers as a model system. Combined with an overall protein quantification, a mapping of exposed recognizable sequences using monoclonal antibodies conjugated to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or quantum dots (QDs) for enhanced spectroscopic and microscopic detection revealed that active protein sequences can be one to two orders of magnitude lower than overall conjugated proteins while possessing specific cellular recognition. In addition, we found that common conjugation strategies lead to a large excess of non-specifically compared to covalently bound ligands and instabilities that may impact targeting. These can be avoided by certain synthetic conditions presented here for effective exploitation of multivalent surfaces in nanomedicine.

Abstract
IR-780 iodide, a near-infrared (near-IR) fluorescent dye, can be utilized as an effective theranostic agent for both imaging and photothermal therapy. However, its lipophilicity limits its further biomedical applications. Herein, we synthesized a phospholipid mimicking amphiphilic homopolymer poly(12-(methacryloyloxy)dodecyl phosphorylcholine) (PMDPC) via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The amphiphilic homopolymer PMDPC can be self-assembled into micelles and used for the encapsulation of IR-780. The IR-780 loaded micelles (PMDPC-IR-780) exhibited low cytotoxicity in the dark, whereas remarkable photothermal cytotoxicity to pancreatic cancer cells (BxPC-3) was observed upon near-IR laser irradiation. We further investigated in vivo biodistribution of PMDPC-IR-780 micelles. Higher accumulation of PMDPC-IR-780 than that of free IR-780 in tumor tissue was verified, which might be ascribed to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect and long circulation time benefiting from the zwitterionic phosphorylcholine surface. Therefore, the IR-780 loaded phospholipid mimicking homopolymeric micelles could have great potential for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
For decades, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been widely incorporated into nanoparticles for evading immune clearance and improving the systematic circulation time. However, recent studies have reported a phenomenon known as "accelerated blood clearance (ABC)" where a second dose of PEGylated nanomaterials is rapidly cleared when given several days after the first dose. Herein, we demonstrate that natural red blood cell (RBC) membrane is a superior alternative to PEG. Biomimetic RBC membrane-coated Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4) @RBC NPs) rely on CD47, which is a "don't eat me" marker on the RBC surface, to escape immune clearance through interactions with the signal regulatory protein-alpha (SIRP-α) receptor. Fe(3)O(4) @RBC NPs exhibit extended circulation time and show little change between the first and second doses, with no ABC suffered. In addition, the administration of Fe(3)O(4) @RBC NPs does not elicit immune responses on neither the cellular level (myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs)) nor the humoral level (immunoglobulin M and G (IgM and IgG)). Finally, the in vivo toxicity of these cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles is systematically investigated by blood biochemistry, hematology testing, and histology analysis. These findings are significant advancements toward solving the long-existing clinical challenges of developing biomaterials that are able to resist both immune response and rapid clearance.

Abstract
Biomimetics is the study of nature and natural phenomena to understand the principles of underlying mechanisms, to obtain ideas from nature, and to apply concepts that may benefit science, engineering, and medicine. Examples of biomimetic studies include fluid-drag reduction swimsuits inspired by the structure of shark's skin, velcro fasteners modeled on burrs, shape of airplanes developed from the look of birds, and stable building structures copied from the backbone of turban shells. In this article, we focus on the current research topics in biomimetics and discuss the potential of biomimetics in science, engineering, and medicine. Our report proposes to become a blueprint for accomplishments that can stem from biomimetics in the next 5 years as well as providing insight into their unseen limitations.
