Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease and is the primary contributor to adult tooth loss. Diabetes exacerbates periodontitis, accelerates periodontal bone resorption. Thus, effectively managing periodontitis in individuals with diabetes is a long-standing challenge. This review introduces the etiology and pathogenesis of periodontitis, and analyzes the bidirectional relationship between diabetes and periodontitis. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the four pathological microenvironments influenced by diabetic periodontitis: high glucose microenvironment, bacterial infection microenvironment, inflammatory microenvironment, and bone loss microenvironment. The hydrogel design strategies and latest research development tailored to the four microenvironments of diabetic periodontitis are mainly focused on. Finally, the challenges and potential solutions in the treatment of diabetic periodontitis are discussed. We believe this review will be helpful for researchers seeking novel avenues in the treatment of diabetic periodontitis.

Abstract
In recent years, stimuli-responsive nanogels that can undergo suitable transitions under endogenous (e.g., pH, enzymes and reduction) or exogenous stimuli (e.g., temperature, light, and magnetic fields) for on-demand drug delivery, have received significant interest in biomedical fields, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing, and gene therapy due to their unique environment-sensitive properties. Furthermore, these nanogels have become very popular due to some of their special properties such as good hydrophilicity, high drug loading efficiency, flexibility, and excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this article, the authors discuss current developments in the synthesis, properties, and biomedical applications of stimulus-responsive nanogels. In addition, the opportunities and challenges of nanogels for biomedical applications are also briefly predicted.

Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer is the rarest, most aggressive, and undifferentiated class of thyroid cancer, accounting for nearly forty percent of all thyroid cancer-related deaths. It is caused by alterations in many cellular pathways like MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, ALK, Wnt activation, and TP53 inactivation. Although many treatment strategies, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy, have been proposed to treat anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, they are usually accompanied by concerns such as resistance, which may lead to the lethality of the patient. The emerging nanotechnology-based approaches cater the purposes such as targeted drug delivery and modulation in drug release patterns based on internal or external stimuli, leading to an increase in drug concentration at the site of the action that gives the required therapeutic action as well as modulation in diagnostic intervention with the help of dye property materials. Nanotechnological platforms like liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, exosomes, and various nanoparticles are available and are of high research interest for therapeutic intervention in anaplastic thyroid cancer. The pro gression of the disease can also be traced by using magnetic probes or radio-labeled probes and quantum dots that serve as a diagnostic intervention in anaplastic thyroid cancer.

Abstract
Phenylboronic acid (PBA)-containing hydrogels (HGs), capable of glucose-responsive insulin release, have shown promise in diabetes management in preclinical studies. However, sustainable material usage and attaining an optimum insulin release profile pose a significant challenge in such HG design. Herein, we present the development of a straightforward fabrication strategy for glucose-responsive protein-polymer hybrid HGs (PPHGs). We prepare PPHGs by crosslinking polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with various nature-abundant proteins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), egg albumin, casein, whey protein, and so forth, using formylphenylboronic acid (FPBA)-based crosslinkers. We showcase PPHGs with diverse bulk rheological properties that are appropriately modulated by the positions of aldehyde, boronic acid, and fluorine substitutions in the FPBA-crosslinker. The orthogonal imine and boronate ester bonds formed by FPBAs are susceptible to the acidic pH environment and glucose concentrations, leading to the glucose-responsive dissolution of the PPHGs. We further demonstrate that by an appropriate selection of FPBAs, glucose-responsive insulin release profiles of the PPHGs can be precisely engineered at the molecular level. Importantly, PPHGs are injectable, incur no cytotoxicity, and, therefore, hold great potential as smart insulin for in vivo applications in the near future.

Abstract
Currently, the only practical way to treat type 1 and advanced insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1/2DM) is the frequent subcutaneous injection of insulin, which is significantly different physiologically from endogenous insulin secretion from pancreatic islets and can lead to hyperinsulinemia, pain, and infection in patients with poor compliance. Hence, oral insulin delivery has been actively pursued to revolutionize the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes. In this review, we provide an overview of recent progress in developing poly(lactic co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) for oral insulin delivery. Different strategies for insulin-loaded PLGA NPs to achieve normoglycemic effects are discussed. Finally, challenges and future perspectives of PLGA NPs for oral insulin delivery are put forward.

Abstract
Background and purpose Since insulin and pramlintide cooperate in glucose hemostasis, co-administration and quantitation of them in pharmaceutical preparations are imperative. A simple, rapid, sensitive, and isocratic RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantitation of insulin and pramlintide in loading and in-vitro release studies of a glucose-responsive system to improve the control of hyperglycemic episodes in diabetic patients. Experimental approach The isocratic RP-HPLC separation was achieved on a C18 µ-Bondopak column (250 mm × 4.6 mm) using a mobile phase of water:acetonitrile:trifluoroacetic acid (65:35:0.1%) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min in an ambient temperature. Both proteins were detected using a UV detector at 214 nm. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, the limit of detection, the limit of quantification, and robustness. Findings/Results Linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 30 to 360 μg/mL for insulin and 1.5 to 12 μg/mL for pramlintide. The results were validated statistically and recovery studies confirmed the great accuracy and precision of the proposed method. The robustness of the method was also confirmed through small changes in pH, mobile phase composition, and flow rate. Conclusion and implications The method was found to be simple, specific, precise, and reproducible. It was applied for the determination of loading capacity, entrapment efficiency, and in-vitro release studies of insulin and pramlintide in a smart glucose-responsive microparticle. Co-delivery of insulin and pramlintide could be a new intervention in diabetes management and concurrent quantitation of these two proteins is, therefore, essential.

Abstract
![]()
Glucose-responsive materials are of great importance
in the field
of monitoring the physiological glucose level or smart insulin management.
This study presents the first vacuum-based deposition of a glucose-responsive
hydrogel thin film. The successful vacuum-based synthesis of a glucose-responsive
hydrogel may open the door to a vast variety of new applications,
where, for example, the hydrogel thin film is applied on new possible
substrates. In addition, vacuum-deposited films are free of leachables
(e.g., plasticizers and residual solvents). Therefore, they are, in
principle, safe for in-body applications. A hydrogel made of but-3-enylboronic
acid units, a boronic acid compound, was synthesized via initiated
chemical vapor deposition. The thin film was characterized in terms
of chemical composition, surface morphology, and swelling response
toward pH and sucrose, a glucose–fructose compound. The film
was stable in aqueous solutions, consisting of polymerized boronic
acid and the initiator unit, and had an undulating texture appearance
(rms 2.1 nm). The hydrogel was in its shrunken state at pH 4–7
and swelled by increasing the pH to 9. The pKa was 8.2 ± 0.2. The response to glucose was observed
at pH 10 and resulted in thickness shrinking.

Abstract
Globally, a rising burden of complex diseases takes a heavy toll on human lives and poses substantial clinical and economic challenges. This review covers nanomedicine and nanotechnology-enabled advanced drug delivery systems (DDS) designed to address various unmet medical needs. Key nanomedicine and DDSs, currently employed in the clinic to tackle some of these diseases, are discussed focusing on their versatility in diagnostics, anticancer therapy, and diabetes management. First-hand experiences from our own laboratory and the work of others are presented to provide insights into strategies to design and optimize nanomedicine- and nanotechnology-enabled DDS for enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Computational analysis is also briefly reviewed as a technology for rational design of controlled release DDS. Further explorations of DDS have illuminated the interplay of physiological barriers and their impact on DDS. It is demonstrated how such delivery systems can overcome these barriers for enhanced therapeutic efficacy and how new perspectives of next-generation DDS can be applied clinically.

Abstract
A glucose-sensitive antibacterial and anti-inflammatory hydrogel film with controlled release of tannic acid (TA) was synthesized using chitosan (CS). Specifically, the photo-crosslinked CS hydrogel was first obtained and then immersed in TA solution to generate composite hydrogel film with enhanced mechanical properties. Subsequently, N-hydroxysuccinimide/1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide based coupling chemistry was used to covalently crosslink glucose oxidase (GOx) to CS to obtain glucose sensitivity. The physicochemical properties, including chemical composition, enzyme-related characteristics, glucose responsiveness, and mechanical strength, were thoroughly investigated, followed by the cytotoxicity, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory tests. The results showed that the GOx immobilized on the film surface by covalent bonding gave better stability than those that were physically adsorbed. In addition, it could quickly and correspondingly modify its inner pore structure in response to the glucose stimulus and then control the loaded TA release. Meanwhile, the TA addition could enhance the film's mechanical properties. The composite hydrogel film demonstrated adequate biocompatibility and can inhibit NO, IL-6, and TNF-α production in stimulated macrophages, as well as Porphyromonas gingivalis growth, demonstrating effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
In the current study, we report the microfluidic synthesis of a metal-organic framework (MOF) for insulin delivery based on the stimulus response of glucose. Insulin- and gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was synthesized using a continuous-flow, microfluidic mixing system via a single-step process. Glucose oxidase mimicking the activity of AuNPs was utilized for oxidizing glucose molecules that entered the porous ZIF-8. The AuNPs oxidized glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide inside the MOF (Ins-AuNP-ZIF-8). The resulting acidic pH led to the disruption of ZIF-8 and released insulin. Thus, the presence of glucose molecules provided a stimulus for insulin release. The bioactive MOFs were characterized for the presence of functional groups, morphology, crystallinity, size, and elemental confirmation. The presence of fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate-labeled insulin in the composite was confirmed using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The loading of insulin per unit weight of the MOF, determined by size-exclusion-high-performance liquid chromatography, was 77 and 88% in the batch and microfluidic processes, respectively. Drug release studies confirmed the response of the MOFs to glucose, which triggered insulin release. The synthesis process did not affect the characteristics and application of ZIF-8 and Ins-AuNP-ZIF-8. This study involving the facile synthesis of bioactive MOFs offers a sustainable strategy to design stimulus-responsive drug delivery systems and could be exploited for biosensing applications.

The hybrid MNs patch fabricated with a novel, efficient method displayed a “cake-like” two-layer structure, with the tip part being composed of boronate-containing smart gel attached to a porous gel layer as a drug reservoir. The porous structure provides the necessary structural support for skin insertion and space for insulin loading. The mechanical strength of the hybrid MNs patch was further enhanced by surface coating with crystallized PVA. Compared with MNs patches attached to hollow drug reservoirs, this hybrid MNs patch with a porous gel reservoir was shown to be able to penetrate the skin more effectively, and is promising for on-demand, long-acting transdermal insulin delivery with increased patient compliance.

Abstract
An insulin delivery system that self-regulates blood sugar levels, mimicking the human pancreas, can improve hyperglycaemia. At present, a glucose-responsive insulin delivery system combining AAPBA with long-acting slow release biomaterials has been developed. However, the safety of sustained-release materials and the challenges of preventing diabetic complications remain. In this study, we developed a novel polymer slow release material using a plant extract—p-hydroxyphenylethyl anisate (HPA). After block copolymerisation with AAPBA, the prepared nanoparticles had good pH sensitivity, glucose sensitivity, insulin loading rate and stability under physiological conditions and had high biocompatibility. The analysis of streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy (DN) mouse model showed that the insulin-loaded injection of nanoparticles stably regulated the blood glucose levels of DN mice within 48 h. Importantly, with the degradation of the slow release material HPA in vivo, the renal function improved, the inflammatory response reduced, and antioxidation levels in DN mice improved. This new type of nanoparticles provides a new idea for hypoglycaemic nano-drug delivery system and may have potential in the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications. We established a new glucose-responsive intelligent system with HPA. p(AAPBA-b-HPA) shows good pH and glucose sensitivity. p(AAPBA-b-HPA) nanoparticles can slowly release HPA and insulin. This system can be used to regulate blood glucose. p(AAPBA-b-HPA) nanoparticles can aid in diabetic nephropathy prevention and treatment.

Abstract
This work aims to construct biocompatible, biodegradable core-cross-linked and insulin-loaded nanoparticles which are sensitive to glucose and release insulin via cleavage of the nanoparticles in a high-concentration blood glucose environment. First, a polyphosphoester-based diblock copolymer (PBYP-g-Gluc)-b-PEEP was prepared via ring-opening copolymerization (ROP) and the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) in which PBYP and PEEP represent the polymer segments from 2-(but-3-yn-1-yloxy)-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane and 2-ethoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane, respectively, and Gluc comes from 2-azidoethyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (Gluc-N3) that grafted with PBYP. The structure and molecular weight of the copolymer were characterized by 1H NMR, 31P NMR, GPC, FT-IR, and UV-vis measurements. The amphiphilic copolymer could self-assemble into core-shell uncore-cross-linked nanoparticles (UCCL NPs) in aqueous solutions and form core-cross-linked nanoparticles (CCL NPs) after adding cross-linking agent adipoylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to study the self-assembly behavior of the two kinds of NPs and the effect of different Gluc group contents on the size of NPs further to verify the stability and glucose sensitivity of CCL NPs. The ability of NPs to load fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled insulin (FITC-insulin) and their glucose-triggered release behavior were detected by a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results of methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and hemolysis activity experiments showed that the CCL NPs had good biocompatibility. An in vivo hypoglycemic study has shown that FITC-insulin-loaded CCL NPs could reduce blood glucose and have a protective effect on hypoglycemia. This research provides a new method for constructing biodegradable and glucose-sensitive core-cross-linked nanomedicine carriers for controlled insulin release.

Abstract
We have developed a reversible, biocompatible, "self-programmed" PLGA [poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)] nanoparticle-based optical biosensor capable of sensing and continuous monitoring of glucose above the physiologically relevant threshold value (100-125 mg/dL) as well as "on-demand" insulin delivery via an "On-Off" technique. We have carefully surface engineered the PLGA nanoparticle using amino dextran-fluorescein (A-DexFl) and amino-phenyl boronic acid (A-PBA) to exploit the binding affinity of boronic acids with that of cis-1,2 diols of dextran/glucose. Initially, the dextran chains wrap the nanoparticle surface due to its high affinity toward A-PBA (Kb = 6.1 × 106 M-1). The close proximity of the fluorophores with that of A-PBA quenches the fluorescence, resulting in an "Off" state. On the addition of glucose, it competes with A-DexFl to bind with A-PBA. Above a certain threshold concentration of glucose, the binding affinity overcomes (Kb = 6.3 × 107 M-1) the dextran-A-PBA binding. This opens-up the wrapped A-DexFl chains from the nanoparticle surface and results in an increased distance between the fluorophore and A-PBA, triggering the "On" state. The activation of the On-Off state can be finely tuned in the desired range of physiologically relevant glucose concentrations by varying the ligand ratios on the PLGA surface. The nanoparticle core has also been used as an insulin reservoir to trigger the drug release in the "On" state. We have obtained ∼53% encapsulation efficiency and ∼20% loading efficiency for insulin loading. Once the glucose concentration falls beyond the detection range, the dextran chains collapse on the nanoparticle surface with a suspension in drug release. The process is solely controlled by the competition and multivalent binding affinity between glucose, A-DexFl, and A-PBA, which allows it to be "self-programmed" and "self-regulated" with continuous monitoring up to 8-10 cycles over a 72 h time period. A sustained drug release has been found with ∼70% of released drug over a period of 72 h, although this release is insignificant in the absence of glucose. Several control experiments have been performed to optimize the sensor design.

Abstract
AbstractDiabetes is one of the most devastating global diseases with an ever-increasing number of patients. Achieving persistent glycemic control in a painless and convenient way is an unmet goal for diabetes management. Insulin therapy is commonly utilized for diabetes treatment and usually relies on patient self-injection. This not only impairs a patient’s quality of life and fails to precisely control the blood glucose level but also brings the risk of life-threatening hypoglycemia. “closed-loop” insulin delivery systems could avoid these issues by providing on-demand insulin delivery. However, safety concerns limit the application of currently developed electronics-derived or enzyme-based systems. Phenylboronic acid (PBA), with the ability to reversibly bind glucose and a chemically tailored binding specificity, has attracted substantial attention in recent years. This focus review provides an overview of PBA-based versatile insulin delivery platforms developed in our group, including new PBA derivatives, glucose-responsive gels, and gel-combined medical devices, with a unique “skin layer” controlled diffusion feature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes complications are the leading cause of mortality in diabetic patients. The common complications are decline in antioxidant capacity and the onset of micro-inflammation syndrome. At present, glucose-responsive nanoparticles are widely used, as they can release insulin-loaded ultrafine particles intelligently and effectively reduce blood sugar. However, the toxicology of this method has not been fully elucidated. The plant extracts of pterostilbene (PTE) have a wide range of biological applications, such as antioxidation and inflammatory response improvement. Therefore, we have proposed new ideas for the cross application of plant extracts and biomaterials, especially as part of a hypoglycaemic nano-drug delivery system. RESULTS Based on the PTE, we successfully synthesised poly(3-acrylamidophenyl boric acid-b-pterostilbene) (p[AAPBA-b-PTE]) nanoparticles (NPs). The NPs were round in shape and ranged between 150 and 250 nm in size. The NPs possessed good pH and glucose sensitivity. The entrapment efficiency (EE) of insulin-loaded NPs was approximately 56%, and the drug loading (LC) capacity was approximately 13%. The highest release of insulin was 70%, and the highest release of PTE was 85%. Meanwhile, the insulin could undergo self-regulation according to changes in the glucose concentration, thus achieving an effective, sustained release. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that the NPs were safe and nontoxic. Under normal physiological conditions, NPs were completely degraded within 40 days. Fourteen days after mice were injected with p(AAPBA-b-PTE) NPs, there were no obvious abnormalities in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, or kidney. Moreover, NPs effectively reduced blood glucose, improved antioxidant capacity and reversed micro-inflammation in mice. CONCLUSIONS p(AAPBA-b-PTE) NPs were successfully prepared using PTE as raw material and effectively reduced blood glucose, improved antioxidant capacity and reduced the inflammatory response. This novel preparation can enable new combinations of plant extracts and biomaterials to adiministered through NPs or other dosage forms in order to regulate and treat diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most challenging threats to global public health. To improve the therapy efficacy of antidiabetic drugs, numerous drug delivery systems have been developed. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polymeric family sharing the same skeleton but with different molecular weights which is considered as a promising material for drug delivery. In the delivery of antidiabetic drugs, PEG captures much attention in the designing and preparation of sustainable and controllable release systems due to its unique features including hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Due to the unique architecture, PEG molecules are also able to shelter delivery systems to decrease their immunogenicity and avoid undesirable enzymolysis. PEG has been applied in plenty of delivery systems such as micelles, vesicles, nanoparticles and hydrogels. In this review, we summarized several commonly used PEG-contained antidiabetic drug delivery systems and emphasized the advantages of stimuli-responsive function in these sustainable and controllable formations.

Abstract
The glucose-sensitive self-adjusting drug delivery system simulates the physiological model of the human pancreas-secreting insulin and then precisely regulates the release of hypoglycemic drugs and controls the blood sugar. Thus, it has good application prospects in the treatment of diabetes. Presently, there are three glucose-sensitive drug systems: phenylboronic acid (PBA) and its derivatives, concanavalin A (Con A), and glucose oxidase (GOD). Among these, the glucose-sensitive polymer carrier based on PBA has the advantages of better stability, long-term storage, and reversible glucose response, and the loading of insulin in it can achieve the controlled release of drugs in the human environment. Therefore, it has become a research hotspot in recent years and has been developed very rapidly. In order to further carry out a follow-up study, we focused on the development process, performance, and application of PBA and its derivatives-based glucose-sensitive polymer drug carriers, and the prospects for the development of this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Earlier studies have attempted to create electronic free insulin delivery systems using different glucose sensing mechanism, no successful clinical translation as hitherto been made. This study aimed to assess the faster responsiveness of the insulin release from this enzyme based nanoparticles which is a self-regulated insulin delivery system constructed by loading with insulin, enzyme glucose oxidase into hyaluronic acid and 2-nitroimidazole forming enzyme-based nanoparticles which works in accordance to the blood glucose level. MATERIALS AND METHOD Enzyme-based nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method. Insulin content in the nanoparticles kept for stability study was estimated by human insulin enzyme based immunosorbent assay. In in-vitro studies; different concentrations of glucose were taken and the release study of insulin was recorded. RESULTS This enzyme-based nanoparticles were having average diameter of around 193 nm and stability studies showed that nanoparticles were stable upto 30 days at 4 °C. In-vitro studies showed the release of insulin from nanoparticle conjugates which was effectively correlated with the external glucose concentration created where different concentrations of glucose taken thus facilitating the stabilization of blood glucose levels in the hyperglycemia state which was achieved within 10 min. (400 mg/dL) wherein drug release rate remarkably increased in hyperglycemia state and no specific changes or small amount of release was observed in normoglycemia state (100 mg/dL). CONCLUSION Overall, this preliminary study of this enzyme-based nanoparticles formulation showed excellent rapid responsiveness towards hyperglycemia which might act as a potential biomimetic system in triggering the release of insulin in sustained manner.

Abstract
For improvisation of diabetic's quality of life, nanotechnology is facilitating the development of advanced glucose sensors as well as efficient insulin delivery systems. Our prime focus of the review is to highlight the advancement in diabetic research with special reference to nanotechnology at its interface. Recent studies are more focused on enhancing sensitivity, accuracy, and response by employing metal as well as nanoparticles based glucose sensors. Moreover, the review focuses on nanoscale based approaches i.e. closed-loop insulin delivery systems, which detect any fluctuation in blood glucose levels and allow controlled release of a drug, thus are also called self-regulating insulin release system. Additionally, this review summarizes the role of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic complications through little advancement in the existing techniques. To improve health, as well as the quality of life in diabetic's new sensing systems for blood glucose level evaluation and controlled administration of drugs through efficient drug delivery systems should be explored.

Abstract
Part of differentiated thyroid cancer will relapse or develop into dedifferentiated thyroid cancer after standard therapy, such as surgery or radionuclide therapy. Sorafenib (SOR) is recommended for the treatment of advanced or radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancer. The monotherapy using SOR is often hampered by its modest efficacy, serve systemic toxicity, and high occurrence of drug resistance. In order to enhance the antitumor effect of SOR and reduce its side effects, SOR and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a differentiation-promoting drug, were loaded into poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PEG-PLGA) polymer micelles in this study. The drug-loaded micelles, PM/(SOR+ATRA), exhibited relatively slow drug release and effective cell uptake. Compared with other treatment groups, the PM/(SOR+ATRA) treatment group showed the most significant antitumor effect and minimal systemic toxicity toward the FTC-133 thyroid cancer-bearing BALB/c nude mouse model. Immunofluorescence analysis confirmed that PM/(SOR+ATRA) could significantly promote apoptosis and re-differentiation of tumor cells. All the results demonstrated that polymer micelles loaded with SOR and ATRA could treat thyroid cancer more effectively and safely.

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

Abstract
Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is widely recognized as a promising way to cure cancer. However, the limited tumor homing property of currently available drug delivery systems (DDSs) is the bottleneck for the delivery of photodynamic agents. Purpose: In our study, we decorated silica nanoparticles (SLN) with cell membrane (CM) derived from SGC7901 cells to construct carrier (CM/SLN) which was able to to specifically target the homogenous SGC7901 cells. Materials and methods: Furthermore, the decent drug loading capability of CM/SLN was adopted to load photodynamic agent chlorins e6 (Ce6) to finally construct aDDS suitable for tumor-targeted PDT of gastric cancer. Results: The experimental results suggested that CM/SLN/Ce6 was nano-sized particles with good dispersion and stability in physiological conditions. Moreover, due to the modification of CM,CM/SLN/Ce6 could specifically target the homogenous SGC7901 cells both in vitro and in vivo. Most importantly, further in vivo results demonstrated that the CM/SLN/Ce6 showed a better anticancer outcome compared to SLN/Ce6. Conclusion: CM/SLN/Ce6 might be a promising platform for effective tumor targeted PDT of gastric cancer.

Abstract
The controlled delivery of therapeutics in a manner responsive to physiological indicators has promise in realizing new therapeutic approaches to combat disease. This approach is especially relevant in the context of diabetes. Natural fluctuations in blood glucose seen in the healthy state, complete with peaks and troughs, are poorly regulated as a result of detrimental production or ineffective signaling of the insulin hormone. While several manifestations of diabetes are treated with regularly administered exogenous insulin, the present standard of care results in suboptimal glycemic management that poorly recreates natural hormone control, leading to long-term instability and a significantly increased risk for secondary health complications. New synthetic technologies that make insulin available only when needed, and at the exact dose required, have been explored under the broad vision of realizing a "fully synthetic pancreas." Yet, many challenges remain to realizing a technology that is appropriately responsive, safe, and well integrated into a manageable routine. Herein, many of the approaches explored thus far to sense physiological blood glucose and elicit response through the release of therapeutic insulin are summarized. The approaches point to a new, autonomous approach to managing diabetes with biomimetic therapy.

Abstract
Metabolic diseases occur when normal metabolic processes are disrupted in the human body, which can be congenital or acquired. The incidence of metabolic diseases worldwide has reached epidemic proportions. So far, various methods including systemic drug therapy and surgery are exploited to prevent and treat metabolic diseases. However, current pharmacotherapeutic options for treatment of these metabolic disorders remain limited and ineffective, especially reducing patient compliance to treatment. Therefore, it is desirable to exploit effective drug delivery approaches to effectively treat metabolic diseases and reduce side effects. This brief review summarizes novel delivery strategies including local, targeted, and oral drug delivery strategies, as well as intelligent stimulus-responsive drug delivery strategy, for the treatment of metabolic disorders including diabetes, obesity, and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
We reported on the fabrication of sugar-responsive nanogels covalently incorporated with 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) as glucose-recognizing moiety, 2-(acrylamido)glucopyranose (AGA) as biocompatible moiety, and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPYMA) as fluorescence donor molecule. The p(AAPBA-AGA-BODIPYMA) nanogels were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization in the mixture solvents of H2O/ethanol. Nanogels could respond to glucose and size of nanogels increased after treating with 3 mg/mL glucose medium. The fluorescent intensity of nanogels varied dependent on different glucose concentrations. Besides, insulin, a model drug, can be encapsulated into nanogels with the loading amount up to 8.2%. The drug release was dependent on the content of AAPBA moieties in nanogels and glucose concentrations in release medium. The investigation on the cytotoxicity of nanogels revealed that nanogels had good compatibility. Such glucose-responsive nanogels have potential in detection and treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Glucose-sensitive drug platforms are highly attractive in the field of self-regulated drug delivery. Drug carriers based on boronic acid (BA), especially phenylboronic acid (PBA), have been designed for glucose-sensitive self-regulated insulin delivery. The PBA-functionalized gels have attracted more interest in recent years. The cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) structure endows the glucose-sensitive gels with great physicochemical properties. The PBA-based platforms with cross-linked structures have found promising applications in self-regulated drug delivery systems. This article summarizes some recent attempts at the developments of PBA-mediated glucose-sensitive gels for self-regulated drug delivery. The PBA-based glucose-sensitive gels, including hydrogels, microgels, and nanogels, are expected to significantly promote the development of smart self-regulated drug delivery systems for diabetes therapy.

Abstract
Insulin injection relies on strict blood glucose monitoring. However, existing techniques and algorithms for blood glucose monitoring cannot be completed in a timely way. In this study, we have developed a new intelligent glucose-sensitive insulin delivery system to stabilize blood glucose levels in the body. This system does not require real-time detection of blood glucose. First, we successfully synthesized a nanoscale material called PAM-PAspPBA-b-PEG by using chemical methods. We then conducted TEM, DLS, and 1H-NMR analyses to characterize the physicochemical properties, such as size, molecular composition, and configuration of the nanomaterial. We verified the glucose responsibility of the insulin loading nanoscale material in vitro and evaluated its safety and effect on mice in vivo. Results showed that insulin-loaded PAM-PAspPBA-b-PEG is glucose-sensitive, safer and more effective than regular insulin injection. This study provides a basis for future development of smart insulin delivery systems.

Abstract
Water wetting behavior in nanometer dimensions is of great importance to the signal transmission and substance transport of organisms, e.g., aquaporins on cell membranes. A biological channel can control the transport of water and ions by regulating channel wettability, which results from the transition between the intrinsic hydrophobic state and the stimulus-induced hydration state. Inspired by aquaporins in nature, herein, a biomimetic free-blocking on-demand delivery system is proposed, which is constructed by controlling the wettability of the inner surface of nanochannels of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Such a system is completely different from the traditional physically occluding pore controlled release system. It circumvents the use of other extra capping agents, thus overcoming the limitations of the traditional nano "gate" blockage system with inherent instability, poor plugging capability and low biocompatibility. Additionally, further applications in drug delivery have shown that this system can selectively release entrapped drugs in beta cells triggered by intracellular glucose in a controlled manner but not in normal cells. This hydrophobic gating drug delivery system with simple and effective performance provides a new opportunity for constructing a mass transport platform from the perspective of surface wettability.

Abstract
Insulin plays a significant role in diabetes treatment. Although a huge number of insulin-loaded, glucose-responsive nanocarriers have been developed in past decades, most of them showed a lower loading capacity and efficiency due to the weak interaction between insulin and nanocarriers. In this work, a novel insulin-encapsulated glucose-responsive polymeric complex micelle (CM) is devised, showing (i) enhanced insulin-loading efficiency owing to the zinc ions' chelation by nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) groups of NTA-functioned glycopolymer and the histidine imidazole of insulin, (ii) the glucose-triggered pulse release of insulin, and (iii) long stability under physiological conditions. This CM was fabricated by the self-assembly of block copolymer PEG- b-P(Asp- co-AspPBA) and glycopolymer P(Asp- co-AspGA- co-AspNTA), resulting in complex micelles with a PEG shell and a cross-linked core composed of phenylboronic acid (PBA)/glucose complexations. Notably, the modified nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) groups of CM could specifically bind insulin via chelated zinc ions, thus enhancing the loading efficacy of insulin compared to that of nonmodified CM. The dynamic PBA/glucose complexation core of CM dissociates under the trigger of high glucose concentration (>2 g/L) while being quite stable in low glucose concentrations (<2 g/L), as demonstrated by the pulse release of insulin in vitro. Finally, in a murine model of type 1 diabetes, NTA-modified complex micelles loading an insulin (NTA-CM-INS) group exhibited a long hypoglycemic effect which is superior to that of free insulin in the PBS (PBS-INS) group and insulin-loaded complex micelles without an NTA modification (CM-INS) group. This long-term effect benefited from Zn(II) chelation by NTA-modified complex micelles and could avoid hypoglycemia caused by the burst release of insulin. Taken together, this constitutes a highly effective way to encapsulate insulin and release insulin via an on-demand manner for blood glucose control in diabetes.
