Abstract
Antibody modification is a common method for endowing drug carriers with the ability to target specific cells. Recent studies suggest that the efficacy of these antibody-modified drug carriers is closely related to their physicochemical properties, such as size, shape, stiffness, charge, and surface chemistry. In this study, we functionalized microcapsules with antibodies to investigate the combined effect of shape and stiffness on their targeting ability. We synthesized hollow microcapsules, both spherical and rod-shaped, with adjustable stiffness using calcium carbonate particles as templates and silk fibroin (SF) as the shell material. These microcapsules were then functionalized with trastuzumab (TTZ) to enhance targeting capabilities. Our analysis revealed that increasing stiffness significantly improved the specificity and avidity of TTZ-coated rod-shaped microcapsules, but not spherical ones, indicating a strong shape-dependent influence of stiffness on these properties. Additionally, we explored the mechanisms of endocytosis using various inhibitors and found that both macropinocytosis and clathrin played critical roles in the cellular uptake of microcapsules. Furthermore, we loaded microcapsules with doxorubicin (DOX) to evaluate their anti-tumor efficacy. The stiffest TTZ-coated, DOX-loaded rod-shaped microcapsules demonstrated the most potent anti-tumor effects on BT-474 cells and the highest uptake in BT-474 3D spheroids. This research contributes to the development of more effective microcapsule-based target delivery systems and the realization of the full potential of microcapsule drug delivery systems.

Abstract
The widespread application of calcium carbonate is determined by its high availability in nature and simplicity of synthesis in laboratory conditions. Moreover, calcium carbonate possesses highly attractive physicochemical properties that make it suitable for a wide range of biomedical applications. This review provides a conclusive analysis of the results on using the tunable vaterite metastability in the development of biodegradable drug delivery systems and therapeutic vehicles with a controlled and sustained release of the incorporated cargo. This manuscript highlights the nuances of vaterite recrystallization to non-porous calcite, dissolution at acidic pH, biodegradation at in vivo conditions and control over these processes. This review outlines the main benefits of vaterite instability for the controlled liberation of the encapsulated molecules for the development of biodegradable natural and synthetic polymeric materials for biomedical purposes.

Abstract
Laser beams, capable of controlling the mechanical motion of micron-scale objects, can serve as a tool, enabling investigations of numerous interaction scenarios under full control. Beyond pure electromagnetic interactions, giving rise to conventional gradient forces and radiation pressure, environment-induced thermal effects can play a role and, in certain cases, govern the dynamics. Here we explore a thermocapillary Marangoni effect, which is responsible for creating long-range few hundreds of nano-Newton forces, acting on a bubble around a 'gilded vaterite' nanoparticle. Decorating calcium carbonate spherulite (the vaterite) with gold nanoseeds allows tuning its optical absorption and, as a result, controlling its temperature in a solution. We demonstrate that keeping a balance between electromagnetic and thermal interactions allows creating of a stable micron-scale bubble around the particle and maintaining its size over time. The bubbles are shown to remain stable over minutes even after the light source is switched off. The bubbles were shown to swim toward a laser focus for over 400-µm distances across the sample. Optothermal effects, allowing for efficient transport, stable bubble creation, and particle-fluid interaction control, can grant nano-engineered drug delivery capsules with additional functions toward a theragnostic paradigm shift.

Cyclodextrin-Calcium Carbonate Micro- to Nano-Particles: Targeting Vaterite Form and Hydrophobic Drug Loading/Release. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020653. [PMID: 36839976 PMCID: PMC9963295 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Tailor-made and designed micro- and nanocarriers can bring significant benefits over their traditional macroscopic counterparts in drug delivery applications. For the successful loading and subsequent release of bioactive compounds, carriers should present a high loading capacity, trigger release mechanisms, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Hydrophobic drug molecules can accumulate in fat tissues, resulting in drawbacks for the patient's recovery. To address these issues, we propose to combine the advantageous features of both host molecules (cyclodextrin) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles in order to load hydrophobic chemicals. Herein, hybrid cyclodextrin-CaCO3 micro- to nano-particles have been fabricated by combining Na2CO3 solution and CaCl2 solution in the presence of an additive, namely poly (vinylsulfonic acid) (PVSA) or glycerol (gly). By investigating experimental parameters and keeping the Na2CO3 and CaCl2 concentrations constant (0.33 M), we have evidenced that the PVSA or gly concentration and mixing time have a direct impact on the final cyclodextrine-CaCO3 particle size. Indeed, by increasing the concentration of PVSA (5 mM to 30 mM) or gly (0.7 mM to 4 mM) or the reaction time (from 10 min to 4 h), particles with a size of 200 nm could be reached. Interestingly, the vaterite or calcite form could also be selected, according to the experimental conditions. We hypothesised that the incorporation of PVSA or gly into the precipitation reaction might reduce the nucleation rate by sequestering Ca2+. The obtained particles have been found to keep their crystal structure and surface charge after storage in aqueous media for at least 6 months. In the context of improving the therapeutic benefit of hydrophobic drugs, the developed particles were used to load the hydrophobic drug tocopherol acetate. The resulting particles are biocompatible and highly stable in a physiological environment (pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl). A selective release of the cargo is observed in acidic media (pH lower than 5).

Abstract
The growing biomedical challenges impose the continuous development of novel platforms. Ensuring the biocompatibility of drug delivery and implantable biomedical devices is an essential requirement. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of vaterite nanoparticles is a promising platform, which has demonstrated distinctive optical and biochemical properties, including high porosity and metastability. In this study, the biocompatibility of differently shaped CaCO3 vaterite particles (toroids, ellipsoids, and spheroids) are evaluated by bacterial toxicity mode-of-action with a whole-cell biosensor. Different Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains were used in the bioluminescent assay, including cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and quorum-sensing. Firstly, both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence microscopy characterizations were conducted. Bacterial cell death and aggregates were observed only in the highest tested concentration of the vaterite particles, especially in toroids 15-25 µm. After, the bioluminescent bacterial panel was exposed to the vaterite particles, and their bioluminescent signal reflected their toxicity mode-of-action. The vaterite particles resulted in an induction factor (IF > 1) on the bacterial panel, which was higher after exposure to the toroids (1.557 ≤ IF ≤ 2.271) and ellipsoids particles (1.712 ≤ IF ≤ 2.018), as compared to the spheroids particles (1.134 ≤ IF ≤ 1.494), in all the tested bacterial strains. Furthermore, the vaterite particles did not affect the viability of the bacterial cells. The bacterial monitoring demonstrated the biofriendly nature of especially spheroids vaterite nanoparticles.

Abstract
Hybrid materials or hybrids incorporating organic and inorganic constituents are emerging as a very potent and promising class of materials due to the diverse but complementary nature of their properties. This complementarity leads to a perfect synergy of properties of the desired materials and products as well as to an extensive range of their application areas. Recently, we have overviewed and classified hybrid materials describing inorganics-in-organics in Part-I (Saveleva, et al., Front. Chem., 2019, 7, 179). Here, we extend that work in Part-II describing organics-on-inorganics, i.e., inorganic materials modified by organic moieties, their structure and functionalities. Inorganic constituents comprise of colloids/nanoparticles and flat surfaces/matrices comprise of metallic (noble metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework, magnetic nanoparticles, alloy) and non-metallic (minerals, clays, carbons, and ceramics) materials; while organic additives can include molecules (polymers, fluorescence dyes, surfactants), biomolecules (proteins, carbohydtrates, antibodies and nucleic acids) and even higher-level organisms such as cells, bacteria, and microorganisms. Similarly to what was described in Part-I, we look at similar and dissimilar properties of organic-inorganic materials summarizing those bringing complementarity and composition. A broad range of applications of these hybrid materials is also presented whose development is spurred by engaging different scientific research communities.

Abstract
Because free therapeutic drug molecules often have adverse effects on normal tissues, deliver scanty drug concentrations and exhibit a potentially low efficacy at pathological sites, various drug carriers have been developed for preclinical and clinical trials. Their physicochemical and toxicological properties are the subject of extensive research. Inorganic calcium carbonate particles are promising candidates as drug delivery carriers owning to their hardness, porous internal structure, high surface area, distinctive pH-sensitivity, low degradability, etc, while soft organic alginate hydrogels are also widely used because of their special advantages such as a high hydration, bio-adhesiveness, and non-antigenicity. Here, we review these two distinct substances as well as hybrid structures encompassing both types of carriers. Methods of their synthesis, fundamental properties and mechanisms of formation, and their respective applications are described. Furthermore, we summarize and compare similarities versus differences taking into account unique advantages and disadvantages of these drug delivery carriers. Moreover, rational combination of both carrier types due to their performance complementarity (yin-&yang properties: in general, yin is referred to for definiteness as hard, and yang is broadly taken as soft) is proposed to be used in the so-called hybrid carriers endowing them with even more advanced properties envisioned to be attractive for designing new drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Hydrogels, which are versatile three-dimensional structures containing polymers and water, are very attractive for use in biomedical fields, but they suffer from rather weak mechanical properties. In this regard, biocompatible particles can be used to enhance their mechanical properties. The possibility of loading such particles with drugs (e.g. enzymes) makes them a particularly useful component in hydrogels. In this study, micro/nanoparticles containing various ratios of Ca2+/Mg2+ with sizes ranging from 1 to 8 μm were prepared and mixed with gellan gum (GG) solution to study the in-situ formation of hydrogel-particle composites. The particles provide multiple functionalities: 1) they efficiently crosslink GG to induce hydrogel formation through the release of the divalent cations (Ca2+/Mg2+) known to bind to GG polymer chains; 2) they enhance mechanical properties of the hydrogel from 2 up to 100 kPa; 3) the samples most efficiently promoting cell growth were found to contain two types of minerals: vaterite and hydroxymagnesite, which enhanced cells proliferation and hydroxyapatite formation. The results demonstrate that such composite materials are attractive candidates for applications in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Topical drug delivery is one of the most challenging aspects of eye therapy. Eye drops are the most prevalent drug form, especially for widely distributed anterior segment eye diseases (cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, inflammatory diseases, etc.), because they are convenient and easy to apply by patients. However, conventional drug formulations are usually characterized by short retention time in the tear film, insufficient contact with epithelium, fast elimination, and difficulties in overcoming ocular tissue barriers. Not more than 5% of the total drug dose administered in eye drops reaches the interior ocular tissues. To overcome the ocular drug delivery barriers and improve drug bioavailability, various conventional and novel drug delivery systems have been developed. Among these, nanosize carriers are the most attractive. The review is focused on the different drug carriers, such as synthetic and natural polymers, as well as inorganic carriers, with special attention to nanoparticles and nanomicelles. Studies in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated that new formulations could help to improve the bioavailability of the drugs, provide sustained drug release, enhance and prolong their therapeutic action. Promising results were obtained with drug-loaded nanoparticles included in in situ gel.

Abstract
The present study focuses on the immobilization of the bacterial ribonuclease barnase (Bn) into submicron porous calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles. For encapsulation, we apply adsorption, freezing-induced loading and co-precipitation methods and study the effects of adsorption time, enzyme concentration and anionic polyelectrolytes on the encapsulation efficiency of Bn. We show that the use of negatively charged dextran sulfate (DS) and ribonucleic acid from yeast (RNA) increases the loading capacity (LC) of the enzyme on CaCO3 particles by about 3-fold as compared to the particles with Bn itself. The ribonuclease (RNase) activity of encapsulated enzyme depends on the LC of the particles and transformation of metastable vaterite to stable calcite, as studied by the assessment of enzyme activities in particles.

Abstract
To develop materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering and to study their efficiency with respect to ossification, it is necessary to apply physicochemical and biological analyses. The major challenge is labor-intensive data mining during synthesis and the reproducibility of the obtained data. In this work, we investigated the influence of time and temperature on the reaction yield, the reaction rate, and the size, shape, and phase of the obtained product in the completely controllable synthesis of calcium carbonate. We show that calcium carbonate particles can be synthesized in large quantities, i.e., in gram quantities, which is a substantial advantage over previously reported synthesis methods. We demonstrated that the presence of vaterite particles can dramatically stimulate hydroxyapatite (HA) production by providing the continued release of the main HA component - calcium ions - depending on the following particle parameters: size, shape, and phase. To understand the key parameters influencing the efficiency of HA production by cells, we created a predictive model by means of principal component analysis. We found that smaller particles in the vaterite state are best suited for HA growth (HA growth was 8 times greater than that in the control). We also found that the reported dependence of cell adhesion on colloidal particles can be extended to other types of particles that contain calcium ions.

Abstract
Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is an extensively applied treatment method for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the worsened tumor microenvironment (TME, e.g., reduced pH post-TAE) may result in unsatisfactory therapeutic outcome. Herein, a new kind of embolic agent, calcium carbonate encapsulated alginate microspheres (CaCO3 -ALG MSs) are synthesized. Such CaCO3 -ALG MSs are able to neutralize the tumor pH owing to the reaction of CaCO3 with protons, which would not affect the overall morphology of microspheres after decomposition of CaCO3 . TAE treatment with CaCO3 -ALG MSs is then conducted in an orthotopic rat liver cancer model. 18 F-Fluorodeoxyglucose micropositron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging is conducted post-TAE and discovered that intra-arterial injection of CaCO3 -ALG MSs shows obvious enhanced therapeutic outcome compared to the same treatment with bare ALG MSs or the clinically used lipiodol. Further studies including analysis of immune cells in tumors, cytokine assays, and bioinformatics analysis all verify the reverse of immunosuppressive TME toward a more immunosupportive one after TAE with CaCO3 -ALG MSs. The research not only presents a new CaCO3 -containing embolic agent for enhanced TAE treatment of HCC but also highlights a clinically meaningful approach to improve cancer treatment via tumor pH neutralization.

Abstract
Mesoscopic photonic systems with tailored optical responses have great potential to open new frontiers in implantable biomedical devices. However, biocompatibility is typically a problem, as engineering of optical properties often calls for using toxic compounds and chemicals, unsuitable for in vivo applications. Here, a unique approach to biofriendly delivery of optical resonances is demonstrated. It is shown that the controllable infusion of gold nanoseeds into polycrystalline sub-micrometer vaterite spherulites gives rise to a variety of electric and magnetic Mie resonances, producing a tuneable mesoscopic optical metamaterial. The 3D reconstruction of the spherulites demonstrates the capability of controllable gold loading with volumetric filling factors exceeding 28%. Owing to the biocompatibility of the constitutive elements, "golden vaterite" paves the way to introduce designer-made Mie resonances to cutting-edge biophotonic applications. This concept is exemplified by showing efficient laser heating of gold-filled vaterite spherulites at red and near-infrared wavelengths, highly desirable in photothermal therapy, and photoacoustic tomography.

Abstract
Development of a skin-targeted particulate delivery system providing an extended or sustained release of the payload and a localized therapeutic effect is one of the main challenges in the treatment of fungal skin infections. In the topical administration of antifungals, the drug should penetrate into the stratum corneum and lower layers of the skin in effective concentrations. Here, we introduce biodegradable calcium carbonate carriers containing 4.9% (w/w) of naftifine hydrochloride antimycotic allowing the efficient accumulation into the skin appendages. The proposed particulate formulation ensures the enhancement of the local drug concentration, prolongation of the payload release, and control over its rate. Furthermore, it provides a highly efficient cellular uptake and excellent bioavailability in vitro and enables a deep penetration during transfollicular delivery in vivo. The enhanced fungi growth inhibition efficiency of naftifine-loaded calcium carbonate carriers compared to naftifine solution makes them a promising alternative to creams and gels currently existing on the market.

Abstract
Nanoscale optical labeling is an advanced bioimaging tool. It is mostly based on fluorescence (FL) phenomena and enables the visualization of single biocells, bacteria, viruses, and biological tissues, providing monitoring of functional biosystems in vitro and in vivo, and the imaging-guided transportation of drug molecules. There is a variety of FL biolabels such as organic molecular dyes, genetically encoded fluorescent proteins (green fluorescent protein and homologs), semiconductor quantum dots, carbon dots, plasmonic metal gold-based nanostructures and more. In this review, a new generation of FL biolabels based on the recently found biophotonic effects of visible FL are described. This intrinsic FL phenomenon is observed in any peptide/protein materials folded into β-sheet secondary structures, irrespective of their composition, complexity, and origin. The FL effect has been observed both in natural amyloid fibrils, associated with neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and more), and diverse synthetic peptide/protein structures subjected to thermally induced biological refolding helix-like→β-sheet. This approach allowed us to develop a new generation of FL peptide/protein bionanodots radiating multicolor, tunable, visible FL, covering the entire visible spectrum in the range of 400–700 nm. Newly developed biocompatible nanoscale biomarkers are considered as a promising tool for emerging precise biomedicine and advanced medical nanotechnologies (high-resolution bioimaging, light diagnostics, therapy, optogenetics, and health monitoring).

Abstract
The design of magnetic nanostructures whose magnetic heating efficiency remains unaffected at the tumor site is a fundamental requirement to further advance magnetic hyperthermia in the clinic. This work demonstrates that the confinement of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) into a sub-micrometer cavity is a key strategy to enable a certain degree of nanoparticle motion and minimize aggregation effects, consequently preserving the magnetic heat loss of iron oxide nanocubes (IONCs) under different conditions, including intracellular environments. We fabricated magnetic layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembled polyelectrolyte sub-micrometer capsules using three different approaches, and we studied their heating efficiency as obtained in aqueous dispersions and after internalization by tumor cells. First, IONCs were added to the hollow cavities of LbL submicrocapsules, allowing the IONCs to move to a certain extent in the capsule cavities. Second, IONCs were coencapsulated into solid calcium carbonate cores coated with LbL polymer shells. Third, IONCs were incorporated within the polymer layers of the LbL capsule walls. In aqueous solution, higher specific absorption rate (SAR) values were related to those of free IONCs, while lower SAR values were recorded for capsule/core assemblies. However, after uptake by cancer cell lines (SKOV-3 cells), the SAR values of the free IONCs were significantly lower than those observed for capsule/core assemblies, especially after prolonged incubation periods (24 and 48 h). These results show that IONCs packed into submicrocavities preserve the magnetic losses, as the SAR values remained almost invariable. Conversely, free IONCs without the protective capsule shell agglomerated and their magnetic losses were strongly reduced. Indeed, IONC-loaded capsules and free IONCs reside inside endosomal and lysosomal compartments after cellular uptake and show strongly reduced magnetic losses due to the immobilization and aggregation in centrosymmetrical structures in the intracellular vesicles. The confinement of IONCs into sub-micrometer cavities is a key strategy to provide a sustained and predictable heating dose inside biological matrices.

Abstract
Being the polymorphs of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), vaterite and calcite have attracted a great deal of attention as promising biomaterials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Furthermore, they are important biogenic minerals, enabling living organisms to reach specific functions. In nature, vaterite and calcite monocrystals typically form self-assembled polycrystal micro- and nanoparticles, also referred to as spherulites. Here, we demonstrate that alpine plants belonging to the Saxifraga genus can tailor light scattering channels and utilize multipole interference effect to improve light collection efficiency via producing CaCO3 polycrystal nanoparticles on the margins of their leaves. To provide a clear physical background behind this concept, we study optical properties of artificially synthesized vaterite nanospherulites and reveal the phenomenon of directional light scattering. Dark-field spectroscopy measurements are supported by a comprehensive numerical analysis, accounting for the complex microstructure of particles. We demonstrate the appearance of generalized Kerker condition, where several higher order multipoles interfere constructively in the forward direction, governing the interaction phenomenon. As a result, highly directive forward light scattering from vaterite nanospherulites is observed in the entire visible range. Furthermore, ex vivo studies of microstructure and optical properties of leaves for the alpine plants Saxifraga "Southside Seedling" and Saxifraga Paniculata Ria are performed and underline the importance of the Kerker effect for these living organisms. Our results pave the way for a bioinspired strategy of efficient light collection by self-assembled polycrystal CaCO3 nanoparticles via tailoring light propagation directly to the photosynthetic tissue with minimal losses to undesired scattering channels.

Abstract
Aim. In this work, the authors set out to develop an effective method for the intrafollicular delivery of “Ammi majus fructuum furocumarines” photosensitizer (AMFF) followed by UVA irradiation (λ = 320–400 nm). Materials and methods. The proposed delivery method consists in using calcium carbonate particles acting as AMFF carriers. In vivo monitoring of hair follicle filling was carried out via optical coherence tomography, as well as by means of analyzing epilated hair using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Following the administration of free and encapsulated AMFF to three healthy volunteers, the character of UVA-induced skin pigmentation was registered under dermatoscopic examination. Results. The obtained results demonstrate a profuse filling of hair follicles with calcium carbonate particles, thus confirming the possibility of intrafollicular photosensitizer delivery. It was established that exposure to UVA irradiation causes intense pigment accumulation in the area of AMFF carrier administration. Conclusion. The proposed method of the targeted photosensitizer delivery allows photochemical therapy to be improved.

Abstract
Formulation of multifunctional biopolymer-based scaffolds is one of the major focuses in modern tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Besides proper mechanical/chemical properties, an ideal scaffold should: (i) possess a well-tuned porous internal structure for cell seeding/growth and (ii) host bioactive molecules to be protected against biodegradation and presented to cells when required. Alginate hydrogels were extensively developed to serve as scaffolds, and recent advances in the hydrogel formulation demonstrate their applicability as "ideal" soft scaffolds. This review focuses on advanced porous alginate scaffolds (PAS) fabricated using hard templating on vaterite CaCO3 crystals. These novel tailor-made soft structures can be prepared at physiologically relevant conditions offering a high level of control over their internal structure and high performance for loading/release of bioactive macromolecules. The novel approach to assemble PAS is compared with traditional methods used for fabrication of porous alginate hydrogels. Finally, future perspectives and applications of PAS for advanced cell culture, tissue engineering, and drug testing are discussed.

Abstract
Transdermal administration via skin appendages enables both localized and systemic drug delivery, as well as minimizes incidental toxicity. However, the design of an appropriate effective method for clinical use remains challenging. Here, we introduce calcium carbonate-based carriers for the transdermal transportation of bioactive substances. The proposed system presents easily manufacturable biodegradable particles with a large surface area enabling a high payload ability. Topical application of submicron porous CaCO3 particles in rats followed by the therapeutic ultrasound treatment results in their deep penetration through the skin along with plentiful filling of the hair follicles. Exploiting the loading capacity of the porous particles, we demonstrate efficient transportation of a fluorescent marker along the entire depth of the hair follicle down the bulb region. In vivo monitoring of the carrier degradation reveals the active dissolution/recrystallization of CaCO3 particles, resulting in their total resorption within 12 days. The proposed particulate system serves as an intrafollicular depot for drug storage and prolonged in situ release over this period. The urinary excretion profile proves the systemic absorption of the fluorescent marker. Hence, the elaborated transdermal delivery system looks promising for medical applications. The drug delivery to different target regions of the hair follicle may contribute to regenerative medicine, immunomodulation, and treatment of various skin disorders. In the meantime, the systemic uptake of the transported drug opens an avenue for prospective delivery routes beyond the scope of dermatology.

Abstract
We have designed sensors based on Ag nanoparticles synthesized in situ on the vaterite beads. In this article we demonstrate an approach to produce size controllable spherical and elliptical vaterite particles and discuss time-dependent in situ Ag nanoparticles synthesis and its potential effect on surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The time dependent silver reduction synthesis in inorganic porous particles allows to regulate the number and size of Ag nanoparticles. It is shown that the irregular surface and high porosity of vaterite particles and large amount (surface filling factor) of the Ag nanoparticles are the critical parameters to increase the SERS signal to 104 times. Such inorganic composites have a huge potential in medical applications; soon they provide an opportunity to study intracellular processes in vivo. The detailed characterization of the microstructure of these composites was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, including 3D visualization and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis.

Abstract
The optical properties of nanoparticles have attracted continuous attention owing to their high fundamental and applied importance across many disciplines. A recently emerged field of all-dielectric nanophotonics employs optically induced electric and magnetic Mie resonances in dielectric nanoparticles with a high refractive index. This property allows obtaining additional valuable degrees of freedom to control the optical responses of nanophotonic structures. Here we propose a conceptually distinct approach towards reaching optical resonances in dielectric nanoparticles. We show that, lacking conventional Mie resonances, low-index nanoparticles can exhibit a novel anisotropy-induced family of non-Mie eigenmodes. Specifically, we investigate light interactions with calcite and vaterite nanospheres and compare them with the Mie scattering by a fused silica sphere. Having close permittivities and the same dimensions, these particles exhibit significantly different scattering behavior owing to their internal structure. While a fused silica sphere does not demonstrate any spectral features, the uniaxial structure of the permittivity tensor for calcite and the non-diagonal permittivity tensor for vaterite result in a set of distinguishable peaks in scattering spectra. Multipole decomposition and eigenmode analysis reveal that these peaks are associated with a new family of electric and magnetic resonances. We identify magnetic dipole modes of ordinary, extraordinary and hybrid polarization as well as complex electric dipole resonances, featuring a significant toroidal electric dipole moment. As both vaterite and calcite are biominerals, naturally synthesized and exploited by a variety of living organisms, our results provide an indispensable toolbox for understanding and elucidating the mechanisms behind the optical functionalities of true biological systems.

Abstract
Porous inorganic nanostructured materials are widely used nowadays as drug delivery carriers due to their adventurous features: suitable architecture, large surface area and stability in the biological fluids. Among the different types of inorganic porous materials, silica, calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate have received significant attention in the last decade. The use of porous inorganic materials as drug carriers for cancer therapy, gene delivery etc. has the potential to improve the life expectancy of the patients affected by the disease. The main goal of this review is to provide general information on the current state of the art of synthesis of the inorganic porous particles based on silica, calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. Special focus is dedicated to the loading capacity, controllable release of drugs under internal biological stimuli (e.g., pH, redox, enzymes) and external noninvasive stimuli (e.g., light, magnetic field, and ultrasound). Moreover, the diverse compounds to deliver with silica, calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate particles, ranging from the commercial drugs to genetic materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Nano- and microencapsulation has proven to be a useful technique for the construction of drug delivery vehicles for use in vascular medicine. However, the possibility of using these techniques within the lung as an inhalation delivery mechanism has not been previously considered. A critical element of particle delivery to the lung is the degree of penetrance that can be achieved with respect to the airway tree. In this study we examined the effectiveness of near infrared (NIR) dye (Cy7) labeled calcium carbonate (vaterite) particles of 3.15, 1.35, and 0.65 μm diameter in reaching the respiratory portion of the lung. First of all, it was shown that, interaction vaterite particles and the components of the pulmonary surfactant occurs a very strong retardation of the recrystallization and dissolution of the particles, which can subsequently be used to create systems with a prolonging release of bioactive substances after the particles penetrate the distal sections of the lungs. Submicro- and microparticles, coated with Cy7 labeled albumin as a model compound, were delivered to mouse lungs via tracheostomy with subsequent imaging performed 24, 48, and 72 h after delivery by in vivo fluorescence. 20 min post administration particles of all three sizes were visible in the lung, with the deepest penetrance observed with 0.65 μm particles. In vivo biodistribution was confirmed by fluorescence tomography imaging of excised organs post 72 h. Laser scanning confocal microscopy shows 0.65 μm particles reaching the alveolar space. The delivery of fluorophore to the blood was assessed using Cy7 labeled 0.65 μm particles. Cy7 labeled 0.65 μm particles efficiently delivered fluorescent material to the blood with a peak 3 h after particle administration. The pharmacokinetics of NIR fluorescence dye will be shown. These studies establish that by using 0.65 μm particles loaded with Cy7 we can efficiently access the respiratory portion of the lung, which represents a potentially efficient delivery mechanism for both the lung and the vasculature.

The influence of lecithin from egg yolk (LE) on calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralization was investigated. In the present study, spherical CaCO3 particles were synthesized via coprecipitation in the presence of LE. LE multilamellar liposomes were first tuned by sonication to provide better control over the nucleation of CaCO3. Subsequently, monodisperse microspheres ~2 µm in size were generated by controlling the aggregation and growth of CaCO3 under appropriate concentrations of LE. In contrast to unstable vaterite, the microspheres generated in aqueous solution remained stable for at least 10 days without transforming into calcite, due to the strong interaction between the LE and calcium ions. The microspheres as drug carriers of doxorubicin (DOX) were assessed and were observed to have a good encapsulation efficiency, sustained drug release without a burst release and notable pH sensitivity. In addition, in vivo tumor inhibition examination demonstrated that DOX‑loaded CaCO3 microspheres formulation had more superior efficacy to significantly restrain tumor growth. These novel LE/CaCO3 hybrids may provide novel options for various biomedical applications.

Molecules 2018; 23:E625.

Abstract
Hollow multilayered capsules have shown massive potential for being used in the biomedical and biotechnology fields, in applications such as cellular internalization, intracellular trafficking, drug delivery, or tissue engineering. In particular, hollow microcapsules, developed by resorting to porous calcium carbonate sacrificial templates, natural-origin building blocks and the prominent Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technology, have attracted increasing attention owing to their key features. However, these microcapsules revealed a great tendency to aggregate, which represents a major hurdle when aiming for cellular internalization and intracellular therapeutics delivery. Herein, we report the preparation of well-dispersed polysaccharide-based hollow multilayered microcapsules by combining the LbL technique with an optimized purification process. Cationic chitosan (CHT) and anionic alginate (ALG) were chosen as the marine origin polysaccharides due to their biocompatibility and structural similarity to the extracellular matrices of living tissues. Moreover, the inexpensive and highly versatile LbL technology was used to fabricate core-shell microparticles and hollow multilayered microcapsules, with precise control over their composition and physicochemical properties, by repeating the alternate deposition of both materials. The microcapsules' synthesis procedure was optimized to extensively reduce their natural aggregation tendency, as shown by the morphological analysis monitored by advanced microscopy techniques. The well-dispersed microcapsules showed an enhanced uptake by fibroblasts, opening new perspectives for cellular internalization.

Abstract
Designing advanced biomaterials for tissue regeneration with drug delivery and release functionalities remains a challenge in regenerative medicine. In this research, we have developed novel composite scaffolds based on polymeric polycaprolactone fibers coated with porous calcium carbonate structures (PCL/CaCO3) for tissue engineering and have shown their drug delivery and release in rats. In vivo biocompatibility tests of PCL/CaCO3 scaffolds were complemented with in vivo drug release study, where tannic acid (TA) was used as a model drug. Release of TA from the scaffolds was realized by recrystallization of the porous vaterite phase of calcium carbonate into the crystalline calcite. Cell colonization and tissue vascularization as well as transplantability of developed PCL/CaCO3+TA scaffolds were observed. Detailed study of scaffold transformations during 21-day implantation period was followed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies before and after in vivo implantation. The presented results demonstrate that PCL/CaCO3 scaffolds are attractive candidates for implants in bone regeneration and tissue engineering with a possibility of loading biologically active molecules and controlled release.

Abstract
We have designed multifunctional silver alginate hydrogel microcontainers referred to as loaded microcapsules with different sizes by assembling them via a template assisted approach using natural, highly porous calcium carbonate cores. Sodium alginate was immobilized into the pores of calcium carbonate particles of different sizes followed by cross-linking via addition of silver ions, which had a dual purpose: on one hand, the were used as a cross-linking agent, albeit in the monovalent form, while on the other hand they have led to formation of silver nanoparticles. Monovalent silver ions, an unusual cross-linking agent, improve the sensitivity to ultrasound, lead to homogeneous distribution of silver nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles appeared on the shell of the alginate microcapsules in the twin-structure as determined by transmission electron microscopy. Remote release of a payload from alginate containers by ultrasound was found to strongly depend on the particle size. The possibility to use such particles as a platform for label-free molecule detection based on the surface enhanced Raman scattering was demonstrated. Cytotoxicity and cell uptake studies conducted in this work have revealed that microcontainers exhibit nonessential level of toxicity with an efficient uptake of cells. The above-described functionalities constitute building blocks of a theranostic system, where detection and remote release can be achieved with the same carrier.

Abstract
A new method of fabrication of calcium carbonate microparticles of ellipsoidal, rhomboidal, and spherical geometries is reported by adjusting the relative concentration ratios of the initial salt solutions and/or the ethylene glycol content in the reaction medium. Morphology, porosity, crystallinity, and loading capacity of synthesized CaCO3 templates were characterized in detail. Particles harboring dextran or the enzyme guanylate kinase were obtained through encapsulation of these macromolecules using the layer-by-layer assembly technique to deposit positively and negatively charged polymers on these differently shaped CaCO3 templates and were characterized by confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy, fluorometric techniques, and enzyme activity measurements. The enzymatic activity, an important application of such porous particles and containers, has been analyzed in comparison with the loading capacity and geometry. Our results reveal that the particles' shape influences morphology of particles and that, as a result, affects the activity of the encapsulated enzymes, in addition to the earlier reported influence on cellular uptake. These particles are promising candidates for efficient drug delivery due to their relatively high loading capacity, biocompatibility, and easy fabrication and handling.
