Transport by circulating myeloid cells drives liposomal accumulation in inflamed synovium. NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY 2023; 18:1341-1350.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of liposomes to deliver drugs into inflamed tissue is well documented. Liposomes are believed to largely transport drugs into inflamed joints by selective extravasation through endothelial gaps at the inflammatory sites, known as the enhanced permeation and retention effect. However, the potential of blood-circulating myeloid cells for the uptake and delivery of liposomes has been largely overlooked. Here we show that myeloid cells can transport liposomes to inflammatory sites in a collagen-induced arthritis model. It is shown that the selective depletion of the circulating myeloid cells reduces the accumulation of liposomes up to 50-60%, suggesting that myeloid-cell-mediated transport accounts for more than half of liposomal accumulation in inflamed regions. Although it is widely believed that PEGylation inhibits premature liposome clearance by the mononuclear phagocytic system, our data show that the long blood circulation times of PEGylated liposomes rather favours uptake by myeloid cells. This challenges the prevailing theory that synovial liposomal accumulation is primarily due to the enhanced permeation and retention effect and highlights the potential for other pathways of delivery in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Lung cancer continues to be a malignant tumor with high mortality. Two obstacles interfere with curative therapy of lung cancer: (i) poor diagnosis at the early stages, as symptoms are not specific or asymptomatic; and (ii) invariably emerging drug resistance after treatment. Some factors contributing to drug resistance include preexisting genetic/genomic drug-resistant alteration(s); activation of adaptive drug resistance pathways; remodeling of the tumor microenvironment; and pharmacological mechanisms or activation of drug efflux pumps. Despite the mechanisms explored to better understand drug resistance, a gap remains between molecular understanding and clinical application. Therefore, facilitating the translation of basic science into the clinical setting is a great challenge. Nanomedicine has emerged as a promising tool for cancer treatment. Because of their excellent physicochemical properties and enhanced permeability and retention effects, nanoparticles have great potential to revolutionize conventional lung cancer diagnosis and combat drug resistance. Nanoplatforms can be designed as carriers to improve treatment efficacy and deliver multiple drugs in one system, facilitating combination treatment to overcome drug resistance. In this review, we describe the difficulties in lung cancer treatment and review recent research progress on nanoplatforms aimed at early diagnosis and lung cancer treatment. Finally, future perspectives and challenges of nanomedicine are also discussed.

Abstract
A key issue with modern cancer treatments is the emergence of resistance to conventional chemotherapy and molecularly targeted medicines. Cancer nanotherapeutics were created in order to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional chemotherapeutics. Over the last few decades, cancer nanotherapeutics provided unparalleled opportunities to understand and overcome drug resistance through clinical assessment of rationally designed nanoparticulate delivery systems. In this context, various design strategies such as passive targeting, active targeting, nano-drug, and multimodal nano-drug combination therapy provided effective cancer treatment. Even though cancer nanotherapy has made great technological progress, tumor biology complexity and heterogeneity and a lack of comprehensive knowledge of nano-bio interactions remain important roadblocks to future clinical translation and commercialization. The current developments and advancements in cancer nanotherapeutics employing a wide variety of nanomaterial-based platforms to overcome cancer treatment resistance are discussed in this article. There is also a review of various nanotherapeutics-based approaches to cancer therapy, including targeting strategies for the tumor microenvironment and its components, advanced delivery systems for specific targeting of cancer stem cells (CSC), as well as exosomes for delivery strategies, and an update on clinical trials. Finally, challenges and the future perspective of the cancer nanotherapeutics to reverse cancer drug resistance are discussed.

Abstract
With the advancement of technology, drug delivery systems and molecules with more complex architecture are developed. As a result, the drug absorption and disposition processes after administration of these drug delivery systems and engineered molecules become exceedingly complex. As the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling allows for the separation of the drug-, carrier- and pharmacological system-specific parameters, it has been widely used to improve understanding of the in vivo behavior of these complex delivery systems and help their development. In this review, we summarized the basic PK-PD modeling theory in drug delivery and demonstrated how it had been applied to help the development of new delivery systems and modified large molecules. The linkage between PK and PD was highlighted. In particular, we exemplified the application of PK-PD modeling in the development of extended-release formulations, liposomal drugs, modified proteins, and antibody-drug conjugates. Furthermore, the model-based simulation using primary PD models for direct and indirect PD responses was conducted to explain the assertion of hypothetical minimal effective concentration or threshold in the exposure-response relationship of many drugs and its misconception. The limitations and challenges of the mechanism-based PK-PD model were also discussed.

Abstract
Artesunate (AS), as an effective new tumour treatment drug, induces cancer cell death based on high intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by interacting with ferrous ions. However, the relatively low intracellular ferrous iron ion concentrations and the low efficiency of ROS generation limit its clinical application. Herein, we developed a metal-organic framework-Fe2+ (MOF), and AS was loaded in the MOF and then coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface of the MOF (HA@MOF-AS) for targeted and enhanced cancer treatment. HA@MOF-AS has high loading efficiency, good monodispersity, biocompatibility, strong cell uptake capacity and high intracellular ROS production, and it can target tumour tissues. In addition, in vivo anticancer studies have shown that HA@MOF-AS not only has high accumulation in tumours but also significantly inhibits tumour growth without significant damage to major organs. Therefore, HA@MOF-AS has excellent potential and may open a new approach for targeted cancer treatment.

Abstract
The use of drug delivery systems (DDS) is an attractive approach to facilitate uptake of therapeutic agents at the desired site of action, particularly when free drug has poor pharmacokinetics/biodistribution (PK/BD) or significant off-site toxicities. Successful translation of DDS into the clinic is dependent on a thorough understanding of the in vivo behavior of the carrier, which has, for the most part, been an elusive goal. This is, at least in part, due to significant differences in the mechanisms controlling pharmacokinetics for classic drugs and DDSs. In this review, we summarize the key physiologic mechanisms controlling the in vivo behavior of DDS, compare and contrast this with classic drugs, and describe engineering strategies designed to improve DDS PK/BD. In addition, we describe quantitative approaches that could be useful for describing PK/BD of DDS, as well as critical steps between tissue uptake and pharmacologic effect.
