Abstract
The recent emergence of nanomedicine has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape and necessitated the creation of more sophisticated drug delivery systems. Polymeric nanoparticles sit at the forefront of numerous promising drug delivery designs, due to their unmatched control over physiochemical properties such as size, shape, architecture, charge, and surface functionality. Furthermore, polymeric nanoparticles have the ability to navigate various biological barriers to precisely target specific sites within the body, encapsulate a diverse range of therapeutic cargo and efficiently release this cargo in response to internal and external stimuli. However, despite these remarkable advantages, the presence of polymeric nanoparticles in wider clinical application is minimal. This review will provide a comprehensive understanding of polymeric nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles. The biological barriers affecting drug delivery will be outlined first, followed by a comprehensive description of the various nanoparticle designs and preparation methods, beginning with the polymers on which they are based. The review will meticulously explore the current performance of polymeric nanoparticles against a myriad of diseases including cancer, viral and bacterial infections, before finally evaluating the advantages and crucial challenges that will determine their wider clinical potential in the decades to come.

Fatemi M, Meshkini A, Matin MM. A dual catalytic functionalized hollow mesoporous silica-based nanocarrier coated with bacteria-derived exopolysaccharides for targeted delivery of irinotecan to colorectal cancer cells. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129179. [PMID: 38181911 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129179] [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: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we introduced a multifunctional hollow mesoporous silica-based nanocarrier (HMSN) for the targeted delivery of irinotecan (IRT) to colorectal cancer cells. Due to their large reservoirs, hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles are suitable platforms for loading significant amounts of drugs for sustained drug release. To respond to pH and redox, HMSNs were functionalized with cerium and iron oxides. Additionally, they were coated with bacterial-derived exopolysaccharide (EPS) as a biocompatible polymer. In vitro analyses revealed that cytotoxicity induced in cancer cells through oxidative stress, mediated by mature nanocarriers (EPS.IRT.Ce/Fe.HMSN), was surprisingly greater than that caused by free drugs. Cerium and iron ions, in synergy with the drug, were found to generate reactive oxygen species when targeting the acidic pH within lysosomes and the tumor microenvironment. This, in turn, triggered cascade reactions, leading to cell death. In vivo experiments revealed that the proposed nanocarriers had no noticeable effect on healthy tissues. These findings indicate the selective delivery of the drug to cancerous tissue and the induction of antioxidant effects due to the dual catalytic properties of cerium in normal cells. Accordingly, this hybrid drug delivery system provides a more effective treatment for colorectal cancer with the potential for cost-effective scaling up.

Abstract
Facile preparation of multifunctional hydrogel wound dressings with inherent versatile properties is highly desirable in practical healthcare. Here, a biocompatible hydrogel was designed and fabricated via mild enzymatic crosslinking and polymerization. We first designed an enzymatic system containing horseradish peroxidase (HRP), H2O2, and the macromolecular initiator-acetoacetyl polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-ACAC), which can generate active PVA-ACAC carbon radicals via HRP-mediated oxidation by H2O2. Trimethylammonium chloride (Q), methacryloyl (MA) and phenol (Ph)-grafted carboxymethyl chitosan (Ph-QCMCS-MA) was then synthesized. HRP catalyzes the oxidation of phenol groups to achieve the fast phenol crosslinking, and PVA-ACAC carbon radicals initiate the polymerization of MA groups simultaneously, finally obtaining the target PPQM gel. The quaternary ammonium and phenol groups endow the PPQM gel with excellent antibacterial and antioxidant properties, respectively. This multifunctional hydrogel, which has additional adhesive and hemostatic properties, could promote wound healing processes in an in vivo full-thickness skin defect experiment by reducing the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6) and upregulating anti-inflammatory factors (IL-10) and angiogenesis-related cytokines (VEGF and α-SMA). As a result, it could be used as competitive wound dressings.

Abstract
Research into the application of nanocarriers in the delivery of cancer-fighting drugs has been a promising research area for decades. On the other hand, their cytotoxic effects on cells, low uptake efficiency, and therapeutic resistance have limited their therapeutic use. However, the urgency of pressing healthcare needs has resulted in the functionalization of nanoparticles' (NPs) physicochemical properties to improve clinical outcomes of new, old, and repurposed drugs. This article reviews recent research on methods for targeting functionalized nanoparticles to the tumor microenvironment (TME). Additionally, the use of relevant engineering techniques for surface functionalization of nanocarriers (liposomes, dendrimers, and mesoporous silica) and their critical roles in overcoming the current limitations in cancer therapy-targeting ligands used for targeted delivery, stimuli strategies, and multifunctional nanoparticles-were all reviewed. The limitations and future perspectives of functionalized nanoparticles were also finally discussed. Using relevant keywords, published scientific literature from all credible sources was retrieved. A quick search of the literature yielded almost 400 publications. The subject matter of this review was addressed adequately using an inclusion/exclusion criterion. The content of this review provides a reasonable basis for further studies to fully exploit the potential of these nanoparticles in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) is a cell surface glycoprotein overexpressed in varieties of solid tumors including pancreatic, breast, ovary, brain, and lung cancers. It is a multi-structural glycoprotein of the cell surface which is majorly involved in cell proliferation, cell-to-cell interaction, cellular migration, inflammation, and generation of immune responses. Numerous studies focus on the development of nanocarriers for active targeting of the CD44 receptor to improve efficacy of targeting chemotherapy and achieve precise chemotherapy by defining the release, uptake, and accumulation of therapeutic agents. The CD44 receptor has a selective binding affinity towards hyaluronic and chondroitin sulfate (CS). Taking this into consideration, this review focused on the role of CD44 in cancer and its therapy using several nanocarriers such as polymeric/non-polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimer, micelles, carbon nanotubes, nanogels, nanoemulsions etc., for targeted delivery of several chemotherapeutic molecules and nucleic acid. This review also illuminates the role of hyaluronic acid (HA) in cancer therapy, interaction of HA with CD44, and various approaches to target CD44-overexpressed neoplastic cells.

Abstract
The unique physiochemical properties and the porous network architecture of hydrogel seek the attention to be explored in broad range of fields. In the last decade, numerous studies on the development of enzymatically cross-linked hydrogels have been elucidated. Implementing enzyme based cross-linking for fabrication of biomaterials over other crosslinking methods harbor various advantages, especially hydrogels designed using laccase exhibits mild reaction environment, high cross-linking efficiency and less toxicity. To our knowledge this is the first report reviewing the formulation of laccase mediated cross-linking for hydrogel preparation. Here, laccase catalyzed synthesis of hydrogel using polysaccharide viz. arabinoxylan, sugar beet pectin, galactomannan, chitosan etc. and proteins namely soy protein, gelatin, silk fibroin were discussed on highlighting their mechanical properties and its possible field of application. We have summarized the role of phenolic acids in laccase mediated crosslinking particularly ferulic acid which is a component of lignocellulose, serving cell rigidity via crosslinkage. The review also discusses on various biomedical applications such as controlled protein release, tissue engineering, and wound healing. It is anticipated that this review will give a detailed information on different laccase mediated reaction strategies that can be applied for the synthesis of various new biomaterials with tailor made properties.

Abstract
The aim of this investigation was to engineer metformin (MF)-loaded mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs)-laden gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) photocrosslinkable hydrogels and test their effects on the mechanical properties, swelling ratio, drug release, cytocompatibility, and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs). As-received and carboxylated MSNs (MSNs-COOH) were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM), as well as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) prior to hydrogel modification. MF-MSNs-COOH were obtained by loading MF into MSNs at a 1:1 mass ratio. Upon MSNs-COOH laden-hydrogels fabrication, the mechanical properties, swelling ratio and MF release were evaluated. SHEDs were seeded on the hydrogels and cytocompatibility was examined. The effects of the MF-MSNs-COOH/GelMA on the osteogenic differentiation of SHEDs were measured by ALP activity, Alizarin Red assay, and Real-time PCR. Statistics were performed using one-way ANOVA (α = 0.05). Morphological (SEM and TEM) analyses of pristine and carboxylated MSNs revealed a mean particle size of 200 nm and 218 nm, respectively. Importantly, an intrinsic nanoporous structure was noticed. Incorporation of MSNs-COOH at 1.5 mg/mL in GelMA led to the highest compressive modulus and swelling ratio. The addition of MSNs-COOH (up to 3 mg/mL) in GelMA did not impact cell viability. The presence of MF in MSNs-COOH/GelMA significantly promoted cell proliferation. Significant upregulation of osteogenic-related genes (except OCN) were seen for modified (MSNs-COOH and MF-MSNs-COOH) hydrogels when compared to GelMA. Altogether, the engineered MF-MSNs-COOH/GelMA shows great promise in craniomaxillofacial applications as an injectable, cell-free and bioactive therapeutics for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Enzymes, a class of highly efficient and specific catalysts in Nature, dictate a myriad of reactions that constitute various cascades in biological systems. There is growing evidence that many cellular reactions within metabolic pathways are catalyzed by matrix-associated multienzyme complexes, not via the free enzymes, verifying the vital effects of microenvironmental organization, which would reveal implications for the high efficiency, specificity, and regulation of metabolic pathways. The extracellular matrix (ECM), as the noncellular component, is composed of various proteins such as collagens, laminins, proteoglycans, and remodeling enzymes, playing the key role in tissue architecture and homeostasis. Hydrogels are defined as highly hydrated polymer materials and maintain structural integrity by physical and chemical force, which are thought of as the most suitable materials for matching the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties with natural ECM. As one specific type of soft and wet materials, hydrogels are suitable three-dimensional carriers to locally confine bioactive guests, such as enzymes, for molecular-level biological interactions. The efficient cascade catalysis can be realized by enzyme-laden hydrogels, which can potentially interact with cells and tissues by material-to-biology communication. In this Account, we present recent progress on the preparation of enzymatic bioactive hydrogels, including in situ coassembly, in situ cross-linking strategy, and in situ enzymatic radical polymerization technology, further promoting their applications on biomedical tissue engineering, biocatalytic health monitoring, and therapeutic research. First, we provide a brief introduction of the basic concept related to an enzymatic strategy in living systems and the importance of bioinspired enzyme-laden bioactive hydrogel systems. We discuss the difficulties of the fabrication of a bioactive hydrogel with a high catalytic efficiency, thereby providing the novel molecular design and regulation based on a noncovalent coassembly and in situ self-immobilization strategy to obtain the compartmentalized enzyme-laden structure. Then the applications of an enzyme-laden bioactive hydrogel for biocatalytic applications are discussed in detail. The enzyme-laden bioactive hydrogel can maintain the favorable perception and regulation behavior of enzymes with optimal enzymatic efficacy between this confined hydrogel network and a surrounding environment. A highlight to the advances in the responsively biocatalytic monitoring and regulation of bioactive hydrogel, including the enzymatic biomedical tissue engineering and health monitoring, enzymatic regulation of tumor reactive oxygen species and therapeutic research are given. Finally, the outlook of open challenges and future developments of this rapidly evolving field is provided. This Account with highlights of diverse enzyme-laden bioactive hydrogel systems not only provides interesting insights to understand the cascade enzymatic strategy of life but also inspires to broaden and enhance the molecular-level material design and bioapplications of existing enzymatic materials in chemistry, materials science, and biology.

Abstract
Nanogels as a versatile vehicle for doxorubicin have attracted great attention during the last decade. Since a nanogel composite device transport encapsulated drugs to the site of action and release them in a desirable time-frame, it could provide higher therapeutic effect. By implementation of different polymers, polymer/inorganic NPs and various crosslinking chemistry, it is possible to fabricate novel composite nanogel systems with favorable characteristics such as smart intelligent systems or multipurpose platforms. Due to high stability, good drug loading capacity for hydrophobic and hydrophilic agents, nanogels introduce great opportunity in pharmaceutical innovations. Composite nanogels show capability in gene, drug and diagnostic agents' delivery while providing an ideal platform for theranostic purposes as multifunctional systems. Doxorubicin as an anticancer agent is widely used against numerous cancers. Due to high systemic toxicity of doxorubicin, there is still need for its safe and specific delivery to the site of action. In this regard, so many efforts have been put in by the researchers for preparation of different nanogel formulations of doxorubicin in order to produce more efficient formulations. This review focuses on design, fabrication, advantages and disadvantages of composite nanogel-based doxorubicin formulations.

Abstract
The design of enzyme mimics from stable and nonprotein systems is especially attractive for applications in highly specific cancer diagnosis and treatment, and it has become an emerging field in recent years. Herein, metal crosslinked polymeric nanogels (MPGs) were prepared using FeII ion coordinated biocompatible acryloyl-lysine polymer brushes obtained from an enzyme-catalyzed atomic transfer radical polymerization (ATRPase) method. The monoatomic and highly dispersed Fe ions in the MPGs serve as efficient crosslinkers of the gel network, and also as active centers of multienzyme mimics of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD). The catalytic activities were compared to those of conventional Fe-based nanozymes. Studies on both cells and animals verify that efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive biofluorescence imaging can be successfully realized using the MPGs.

Abstract
Nanogel-based nanoplatforms have become a tremendously promising system of drug delivery. Nanogels constructed by chemical crosslinking or physical self-assembly exhibit the ability to encapsulate hydrophilic or hydrophobic therapeutics, including but not limited to small-molecule compounds and proteins, DNA/RNA sequences, and even ultrasmall nanoparticles, within their 3D polymer network. The nanosized nature of the carriers endows them with a specific surface area and inner space, increasing the stability of loaded drugs and prolonging their circulation time. Reactions or the cleavage of chemical bonds in the structure of drug-loaded nanogels have been shown to trigger the controlled or sustained drug release. Through the design of specific chemical structures and different methods of production, nanogels can realize diverse responsiveness (temperature-sensitive, pH-sensitive and redox-sensitive), and enable the stimuli-responsive release of drugs in the microenvironments of various diseases. To improve therapeutic outcomes and increase the precision of therapy, nanogels can be modified by specific ligands to achieve active targeting and enhance the drug accumulation in disease sites. Moreover, the biomembrane-camouflaged nanogels exhibit additional intelligent targeted delivery features. Consequently, the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents, as well as the combinational therapy strategy, result in the improved efficacy of disease treatments, though the introduction of a multifunctional nanogel-based drug delivery system.

Abstract
Natural rubber (NR)/hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) nanocomposites (NRHMS) with enhanced thermal and hydrophobic properties were facilely prepared via in situ sol-gel formation with pH adjustment using a low sulphuric acid (H2SO4) acid concentration. The effect of the amount of 0.5 M H2SO4 (2.5-10 g) added into the pre-synthesis mixture on the physicochemical properties of the obtained NRHMS nanocomposites was investigated. With a small addition of H2SO4 solution, the fabricated NRHMS nanocomposite possessed an improved wormhole-like mesostructure arrangement with a thicker silica wall, which retarded the thermal decomposition of the NR phase, as deduced from the auto-oxidation of NR by thermogravimetric analysis. The H2O adsorption-desorption measurement revealed an increased hydrophobicity of the NRHMS composites, explained by the acid-catalyzed bridging of free silanol groups to siloxane bonds, which was supported by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Scanning transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping revealed a good dispersion of the NR phase within the mesostructured silica. However, a high amount of added H2SO4 solution led to silica-NR phase separation due to the decreased hydrophobic interaction between the silica precursor and rubber chain, as well as an agglomeration of the NR phase itself. The mechanism of NRHMS nanocomposite formation under pH-controlled conditions was proposed to proceed via a cooperative self-assembly route.

Abstract
Intelligent polymeric nanogels, with the rationally designed stimuli-responsive drug delivery and controlled drug release, have attracted considerable attention as an ideal nanoplatform for activatable therapy. On the other hand, functional inorganic nanomaterials are widely used as medical imaging agents due to their unique magnetic or optical properties. The construction of stimuli-responsive polymeric nanogels incorporating with functional inorganic nanomaterials inherits the excellent properties of both polymers and inorganic nanomaterials, consequently, the resulted organic-inorganic hybrid nanogels naturally exhibit stimuli-responsive multi-functionalities for both imaging and therapy. In this review, we summarize the recent advances of stimuli-responsive organic-inorganic hybrid nanogels. Firstly, we discuss the physical and chemical methods thus far developed for the integration of polymeric nanogels and inorganic nanomaterials, and then we show the typical examples of activatable theranostic applications using organic-inorganic hybrid nanogels. In the end, the existing challenges and future directions are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Background: Drug delivery systems (DDS) capable of targeting both cell and organelle levels are highly desirable for effective cancer therapy. In this study, we developed a novel enzyme-responsive, multistage-targeted anticancer DDS based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), which possessed both CD44-targeting and mitochondrial-targeting properties. Materials and methods: Triphenylphosphine (TPP), a mitochondria-targeting compound, was grafted onto the surface of MSNs firstly. Then, Doxorubicin (Dox) was encapsulated into the pore of MSNs, followed by capping with tumor-targeting molecules hyaluronic acid (HA) through electrostatic interactions to form the final product consist of Dox loaded, TPP attached, HA capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-DPH). Results: Our results suggested that MSN-DPH was preferentially taken up by cancer cells via CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis. Moreover, MSN-DPH mainly accumulated in mitochondria owing to the mitochondrial-targeting ability of TPP. Degradation of HA by overexpressed HAase facilitated the release of Dox in cancer cells. Thus, MSN-DPH efficiently killed the cancer cells while exhibited much lower cytotoxicity to normal cells. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a promising multistage-targeted DDS for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Since the first report in early 1990s, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have progressively attracted the attention of scientists due to their potential applications in physic, energy storage, imaging, and especially in biomedical engineering. Owning the unique physiochemical properties, such as highly porosity, large surface area and pore volume, functionalizable, tunable pore and particle sizes and biocompatibility, and high loading cavity, MSNs offer efficient encapsulation and then controlled release, and in some cases, intracellular delivery of bioactive molecules for biomedical applications. During the last decade, functionalized MSNs that show respond upon the surrounding stimulus changes, such as temperature, pH, redox, light, ultrasound, magnetic or electric fields, enzyme, redox, ROS, glucose, and ATP, or their combinations, have continuously revolutionized their potential applications in biomedical engineering. Therefore, this review focuses on discussion the recent fabrication of functionalized MSNs and their potential applications in drug delivery, therapeutic treatments, diagnostic imaging, and biocatalyst. In addition, some potential clinical applications and challenges will also be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the prevalence of therapeutic approaches involving transplanted cells increases, so does the need to noninvasively track the cells to determine their homing patterns. Of particular interest is the fate of transplanted embryonic stem cell-derived hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) used to restore the bone marrow pool following sublethal myeloablative irradiation. The early homing patterns of cell engraftment are not well understood at this time. Until now, longitudinal studies were hindered by the necessity to sacrifice several mice at various time points of study, with samples of the population of lymphoid compartments subsequently analyzed by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. Thus, long-term study and serial analysis of the transplanted cells within the same animal was cumbersome, making difficult an accurate documentation of engraftment, functionality, and cell reconstitution patterns. METHODS Here, we devised a noninvasive, nontoxic modality for tracking early HPC homing patterns in the same mice longitudinally over a period of 9 days using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS This approach of potential translational importance helps to demonstrate efficient uptake of MSNs by the HPCs as well as retention of MSN labeling in vivo as the cells were traced through various organs, such as the spleen, bone marrow, and kidney. Altogether, early detection of the whereabouts and engraftment of transplanted stem cells may be important to the overall outcome. To accomplish this, there is a need for the development of new noninvasive tools. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that multifunctional MSNs can label viably blood-borne HPCs and may help document the distribution and homing in the host followed by successful reconstitution.

Abstract
Hybrid nanomaterials based on inorganic nanoparticles and polymers are highly interesting structures since they combine synergistically the advantageous physical-chemical properties of both inorganic and polymeric components, providing superior functionality to the final material. These unique properties motivate the intensive study of these materials from a multidisciplinary view with the aim of finding novel applications in technological and biomedical fields. Choosing a specific synthetic methodology that allows for control over the surface composition and its architecture, enables not only the examination of the structure/property relationships, but, more importantly, the design of more efficient nanodevices for therapy and diagnosis in nanomedicine. The current review categorizes hybrid nanomaterials into three types of architectures: core-brush, hybrid nanogels, and core-shell. We focus on the analysis of the synthetic approaches that lead to the formation of each type of architecture. Furthermore, most recent advances in therapy and diagnosis applications and some inherent challenges of these materials are herein reviewed.

CD44 targeting biocompatible and biodegradable hyaluronic acid cross-linked zein nanogels for curcumin delivery to cancer cells: In vitro and in vivo evaluation. J Control Release 2018; 280:20-30. [PMID: 29723613 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2018.04.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 84] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2017] [Revised: 04/24/2018] [Accepted: 04/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
In this study, we developed novel hyaluronic acid cross-linked zein nanogels (HA-Zein NGs) to deliver the potential anticancer agent curcumin (CRC), a naturally occurring phytochemical drug in cancer cells. In vitro studies showed that they are highly compatible with the tested cell lines. They showed CD44 specific uptake in CT26 cell line more than by the CD44 receptor pre-inhibited CT26 cells. The CRC encapsulated HA-Zein NGs (HA-Zein-CRC NGs) found to exert a specific toxicity against CT26 sparing healthy normal fibroblast cells in vitro. The apoptotic effects were further confirmed with flow cytometry showing that the HA-Zein-CRC NGs exhibited high anticancer activity against the CT26 cells. The in vivo bio-distribution with a CT26 tumor model showed their high tumor accumulation thereby improved antitumor efficacy with a low dosage of CRC, compared to the previous reports. Thus, the preclinical studies clearly showed that these novel HA-Zein NGs would be highly beneficial in encapsulating hydrophobic drugs with improved pharmacokinetics thereby enhancing the therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
Due to their 3D cross-linked networks and tunable physicochemical properties, polymer hydrogels with different sizes are applied widely in tissue engineering, drug-delivery systems, pollution regulation, ionic conducting electrolytes, agricultural drought-resistance, cosmetics, and the food industry. Novel, environmentally friendly, and efficient oxidoreductase-initiated radical polymerizations to design hydrogels and micro/nanogels have gained increasing attention. Herein, the recent advances on the use of novel enzyme-initiated systems for hydrogel polymerization, including the mechanisms, and molding of polymeric and hybrid-polymeric networks are reviewed. Preliminary progress related to interfacial enzymatic polymerization for the generation of hybrid micro/nanogels is introduced as an emerging initiating approach. In addition, certain biological applications in tissue engineering, bioimaging, and therapy are demonstrated step by step. Finally, some perspectives on the safety profile of enzymatic formed hydrogels, new enzymatic systems, and potential theranostic applications are discussed.

Abstract
As an emerging method for mildly molding polymer hydrogel bioscaffolds, the enzymatically polymerized system is mainly based on the screening of various oxidoreductases to produce radicals, but the design of multifunctional nanoinitiators to facilitate hydrogel performance remains challenging. Here, we utilize N-hydroxyimide-modified silica nanoparticles as nanoinitiators to simultaneously trigger glucose oxidase anaerobic polymerization and nanoparticle-grafting enhancement of the gelatin-polyacrylamide (PAAM) hydrogel. The enzyme-nanoinitiator system produced nitrogen radicals, which were further converted into carbon radicals via GOx-catalyzed glucose reduction, as confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. Our stretchable hydrogel has a 12-fold increased fracture energy relative to traditional hydrogel due to grafting enhancement by the nanoinitiator. The temperature-dependent physical crosslinking of gelatin endowed our hydrogel facile printing ability. Cytotoxicity assay and 3D cell culture demonstrated the low toxicity of our hydrogel. As the first example of the use of nanoinitiators for enzymatic polymerization, this work provides a biocompatible platform to prepare or print hydrogel bioscaffolds with the required mechanical strength.

Abstract
Increasing production of nanomaterials in industrial quantities has led to public health concerns regarding exposure, particularly among pregnant women and developing fetuses. Information regarding the barrier capacity of the placenta for various nanomaterials is limited due to challenges working with ex vivo human placentas or in vivo animal models. To facilitate real-time in vivo imaging of placental transport, we have developed a novel, multifunctional nanoparticle, based on a core of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), and functionalized for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and fluorescent microscopy. Our MSN particles were tested as a tracking method for harmful and toxic nanomaterials. In gravid mice, intravenous injections of MSN were administered in the maternal circulation in early gestation (day 9) and late gestation (day 14). MRI and ultrasound were used to track the MSN following the injections. Changes in contrast relative to control mice indicated that MSN were observed in the embryos of mice following early gestation injections, while MSN were excluded from the embryo by the placenta following late gestation injections. The timing of transplacental barrier porosity is consistent with the notion that in mice there is a progressive increasing segregation by the placenta in later gestation. In addition, built-in physico-chemical properties of our MSN may present options for the therapeutic treatment of embryonic exposure. For example, if preventive measures such as detoxification of harmful compounds are implemented, the particle size and exposure timing can be tailored to selectively distribute to the maternal side of the trophoblast or delivered to the fetus.

Abstract
Predetermining the physico-chemical properties, biosafety, and stimuli-responsiveness of nanomaterials in biological environments is essential for safe and effective biomedical applications. At the forefront of biomedical research, mesoporous silica nanoparticles and mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles are increasingly investigated to predict their biological outcome by materials design. In this review, it is first chronicled that how the nanomaterial design of pure silica, partially hybridized organosilica, and fully hybridized organosilica (periodic mesoporous organosilicas) governs not only the physico-chemical properties but also the biosafety of the nanoparticles. The impact of the hybridization on the biocompatibility, protein corona, biodistribution, biodegradability, and clearance of the silica-based particles is described. Then, the influence of the surface engineering, the framework hybridization, as well as the morphology of the particles, on the ability to load and controllably deliver drugs under internal biological stimuli (e.g., pH, redox, enzymes) and external noninvasive stimuli (e.g., light, magnetic, ultrasound) are presented. To conclude, trends in the biomedical applications of silica and organosilica nanovectors are delineated, such as unconventional bioimaging techniques, large cargo delivery, combination therapy, gaseous molecule delivery, antimicrobial protection, and Alzheimer's disease therapy.
