Abstract
Respiratory diseases (RD) are a group of common ailments with a rapidly increasing global prevalence, posing a significant threat to humanity, especially the elderly population, and imposing a substantial burden on society and the economy. RD represents an unmet medical need that requires the development of viable pharmacotherapies. While various promising strategies have been devised to advance potential treatments for RD, their implementation has been hindered by difficulties in drug delivery, particularly in critically ill patients. Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions for delivering medications to the inflamed organ sites, such as the lungs. Although this approach is enticing, delivering nanomedicine to the lungs presents complex challenges that require sophisticated techniques. In this context, we review the potential of novel nanomedicine-based immunomodulatory strategies that could offer therapeutic benefits in managing this pressing health condition.

Abstract
Engineered colloidal nanoparticles show great promise in biomedical applications. While much of the work of assessing nanoparticle impact on living systems has been focused on the direct interactions of nanoparticles with cells/organisms, indirect effects via the extracellular matrix have been observed and may provide deeper insight into nanoparticle fate and effects in living systems. In particular, the large surface area of colloidal nanoparticles may sequester molecules from the biological milieu, make these molecules less bioavailable, and therefore function indirectly as "molecular knockouts" to exert effects at the cellular level and beyond. In this paper, the hypothesis that molecules that control cellular behavior (in this case, chemoattract molecules that promote migration of a human monocytic cell line, THP-1) will be less bioavailable in the presence of appropriately functionalized nanoparticles, and therefore the cellular behavior will be altered, was investigated. Three-dimensional chemotaxis assays for the characterization and comparison of THP-1 cell migration upon exposure to a gradient of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), with and without gold nanoparticles with four different surface chemistries, were performed. By time-lapse microscopy, characteristic parameters for chemotaxis, along with velocity and directionality of the cells, were quantified. Anionic poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)-coated gold nanoparticles were found to significantly reduce THP-1 chemotaxis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results show adsorption of MCP-1 on the poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)-coated gold nanoparticle surface, supporting the hypothesis that adsorption of chemoattractants to nanoparticle surfaces interferes with chemotaxis. Free anionic sulfonated polyelectrolytes also interfered with cell migrational behavior, showing that nanoparticles can also act as carriers of chemotactic-interfering molecules.

Abstract
Redox-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) miniemulsion polymerizations are successfully conducted with an employment of trithiocarbonate-based macro-RAFT agents and surfactant. Two macro-RAFT agents-hydrophilic poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PPEGMA27 ) and amphiphilic poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-b-polystyrene (PPEGMA27 -b-PS33 )- are examined for the miniemulsion polymerization of styrene. The use of PPEGMA27 (in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) results in a slow polymerization rate with a broad particle size. In the absence of SDS, the use of PPEGMA27 -b-PS33 results in a broad particle size distribution due to its inability to form uniform initial droplets whereas the same amphiphilic block copolymer in the presence of SDS yields resulting products with a uniform particle size distribution. The latter exhibits a fashion of controlled polymerization with a high consumption of monomer (98% in 100 min) and a narrow molecular weight distribution throughout the polymerization. This is attributed to the formation of uniform droplets facilitated by SDS in a miniemulsion. The amphiphilic macro-RAFT agent is able to anchor efficiently on the monomer droplet or particle/water interface and form stabilized particles of well-defined PPEGMA27 -b-PS block copolymer, confirmed using dynamic light scattering and transmission electron micrographs.

Abstract
Heparin plays a significant role in wound healing and tissue regeneration applications, through stabilization of fibroblast growth factors (FGF). Risks associated with batch-to-batch variability and contamination from its biological sources have led to the development of synthetic, highly sulfonated polymers as promising heparin mimics. In this work, a systematic study of an aqueous polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) of styrene from poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sodium sulfonate) (P(AMPS)) macro reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (macro-RAFT) agents produced a variety of spherical heparin-mimicking nanoparticles, which were further characterized with light scattering and electron microscopy techniques. None of the nanoparticles tested showed toxicity against mammalian cells; however, significant hemolytic activity was observed. Nonetheless, the heparin-mimicking nanoparticles outperformed both heparin and linear P(AMPS) in cellular proliferation assays, suggesting increased bFGF stabilization efficiencies, possibly due to the high density of sulfonated moieties at the particle surface.
