Abstract
Nanoencapsulation, employing safe materials, holds substantial promise for enhancing bioactive compounds' delivery, stability, and bioactivity. In this study, we present an innovative and safe methodology for augmenting the incorporation of the anticancer agent, curcumin, thereby inducing apoptosis by downregulating miR20a and miR21 expression. Our established methodology introduces three pivotal elements that, to our knowledge, have not undergone formal validation: (1) Novel formulation: We introduce a unique formula for curcumin incorporation. (2) Biocompatibility and biodegradability: our formulation exclusively consists of biocompatible and biodegradable constituents, ensuring the absence of detrimental residues or undesirable reactions under varying conditions. (3) Low-temperature incorporation: Curcumin is incorporated into the formulation at temperatures approximating 50 °C. The formulation comprises lecithin (LE), chitosan (CH), an eco-friendly emulsifying agent, and olive oil as the solvent for curcumin. Nanoscale conversion is achieved through ultrasonication and probe sonication (20 kHz). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals spherical nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 29.33 nm and negative zeta potentials within the -28 to -34 mV range. Molecular studies involve the design of primers for miR20a and miR21. Our findings showcase a remarkable encapsulation efficiency of 91.1% for curcumin, as determined through a linear equation. The curcumin-loaded nanoformulation demonstrates potent anticancer activity, effectively activating the apoptosis pathway in cancer cells at the minimum inhibitory concentration. These results underscore the potential of our nanoformulation as a compelling, cancer-selective treatment strategy, preserving the integrity of normal cells, and thus, warranting further exploration in the field of cancer therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, nanoparticles (NPs) derived from the self-assembly of natural polysaccharides have shown great potential in the biomedical field. Here, we described several self-assembly modes of natural polysaccharides in detail, summarized the natural polysaccharides mostly used for self-assembly, and provided insights into the current applications and achievements of these self-assembled NPs. As one of the most widespread substances in nature, most natural polysaccharides exhibit advantages of biodegradability, low immunogenicity, low toxicity, and degradable properties. Therefore, they have been fully explored, and the application of chitosan, hyaluronic acid, alginate, starch, and their derivatives has been extensively studied, especially in the fields of biomedical. Polysaccharides based NPs were proved to improve the solubility of insoluble drugs, enhance tissue target ability and realize the controlled and sustained release of drugs. When modified by hydrophobic groups, the amphiphilic polysaccharides can self-assemble into NPs. Other driven forces of self-assembly include electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonds. Up to the present, polysaccharides-based nanoparticles have been widely applied for tumor treatment, antibacterial application, gene therapy, photodynamic therapy and transporting insulin.

Abstract
The binary nanocomposites blended by carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and SiO2 nanoparticles were constructed to prepare the films with superior thermal stability and flame retardant properties. The incorporation of cellulose nanofibers(CNFs) and SiO2 nanoparticles were followed to prepare ternary nanocomposite films exhibiting excellent mechanical properties. The mechanism and chemical reaction of the thermal decomposition for the CMC/SiO2 composite membrane were proposed, which showed that the mass residuals were Na2CO3, SiO2 and Na2SiO3, Na2CO3 when the content of the SiO2 nanoparticles was lowered and higher than 9.6 %, respectively. Compared with the pure CMC, micro combustion calorimeter (MCC) showed that the total heat release (THR) and the peak heat release rate (PHRR) both decreased from 6.4 kJ/g to 5.8 kJ/g, 134 w/g to 27 w/g, respectively. Moreover, mechanical properties of CMC/CNFs/SiO2 membrane showed that the toughness and rigidity of the nanocomposites increased by 56.0 % and 63.0 % on the basis of CMC, respectively.

Abstract
Functional nucleic acids, which can target cancer cells and realize stimuli-responsive drug delivery in tumor microenvironment, have been widely applied for anticancer chemotherapy. At present, high cost, unsatisfactory biostability, and complicated fabrication process are the main limits for the development of DNA-based drug-delivery nanocarriers. Here, a doxorubicin (Dox)-delivery nanoparticle for tumor-targeting chemotherapy is developed taking advantage of rolling circle amplification (RCA) technique, by which a high quantity of functional DNAs can be efficiently collected. Furthermore, Mg2+, a major electrolyte in human body showing superior biocompatibility, can sufficiently condense the very long sequence of an RCA product and better preserve its functions. The resultant DNA nanoparticle exhibits a high biostability, making it a safe and ideal nanomaterial for in vivo application. Through cellular and in vivo experiments, we thoroughly demonstrate that this kind of Mg2+-stabilized multifunctional DNA nanoparticles can successfully realize tumor-targeted Dox delivery. Overall, exploiting RCA technique and Mg2+ condensation, this new strategy can fabricate nanoparticles with a nontoxic composition through a simple fabrication process and provides a good way to preserve and promote DNA functions, which will show a broad application potential in the biomedical field.

Abstract
An incredible exploration ensued of a dual modality nanocomposite wherein chemotherapy in fusion with antibacterial efficacy is obtained in a biogenic fabrication, which transformed as a novel nano-chemobiotics (NCB) prevailing fundamental molecular level investigation by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform. The nanocomposite is a facile, robust, and ecofriendly constitution between silver nanoparticles (SNPs) and a naturally occurring galactoxyloglucan (PST001) denoted as SNP@PST, which displayed biocompatibility with an upgraded selective cytotoxicity toward cancer cells. The relatively nontoxic nature of the SNP@PST on normal cells and red blood cells was further proved by detailed toxicological profiling on BALB/c mice. As a unique outcome, we observed excellent antibacterial activity, which is complementary to the greater cytotoxicity by the NCB. In diagnostic aspect, SNP@PST was revealed to be a superior SERS substrate with multiscale Raman signal enhancement contributed by homogeneous hot-spot distribution. Finally, the inherent SERS feature enabled us to investigate the biodistribution of the NCB in tumor-challenged mice using Raman fingerprinting and mapping analysis. Hence, the unrevealed SNP@PST orchestrated with the surfactant-free green method resembled a potential theransonstic NCB construct with synergistic anticancer and antibacterial potential in a single platform.

Abstract
Xyloglucan (XG) is a multibranched polysaccharide consisting of a main chain β-1,4-glucan with xylose and galactose side chains. In this study, cholesterol-bearing XG (CHXG) was synthesized by the reaction of XG with cholesteryl N-(6-isocyanatohexyl) carbamate. The CHXG molecules self-assembled in water to form nanogels consisting of about 100 molecules of XG, and were characterized using light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The number of cholesteryl groups per physical cross-linking site was estimated using a fluorescence quenching method. The resulting CHXG nanogels could be complexed with molecules of low molecular weight, such as iodine and paclitaxel, making the nanogels useful as drug carriers. The CHXG nanogels could also be specifically internalized by hepatocytes via the galactose receptors on their cell surface. CHXG self-assembled nanogels may be suitable as novel drug nanocarriers with galactose-specific targetability.
