Abstract
Despite gold-based nanomaterials having a unique role in nanomedicine, among other fields, synthesis limitations relating to reaction scale-up and control result in prohibitively high gold nanoparticle costs. In this work, a new preparation procedure for lipid bilayer-coated gold nanoparticles in water is presented, using sodium oleate as reductant and capping agent. The seed-free synthesis not only allows for size precision (8-30 nm) but also remarkable particle concentration (10 mm Au). These reaction efficiencies allow for multiplexing and reaction standardization in 96-well plates using conventional thermocyclers, in addition to simple particle purification via microcentrifugation. Such a multiplexing approach also enables detailed spectroscopic investigation of the nonlinear growth process and dynamic sodium oleate/oleic acid self-assembly. In addition to scalability (at gram-level), resulting gold nanoparticles are stable at physiological pH, in common cell culture media, and are autoclavable. To demonstrate the versatility and applicability of the reported method, a robust ligand exchange with thiolated polyethylene glycol analogues is also presented.

Abstract
Spherical structures built from uni- and multilamellar lipid bilayers (LUV and MLV) are nowadays considered not just as nanocarriers of various kinds of therapeutics, but also as the vehicles that, when coupled with gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs), can also serve as a tool for imaging and discriminating healthy and diseased tissues. Since the presence of Au NPs or their aggregates may affect the properties of the drug delivery vehicle, we investigated how the shape and position of Au NP aggregates adsorbed on the surface of MLV affect the arrangement and conformation of lipid molecules. By preparing MLVs constituted from 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in the presence of uncoated Au NP aggregates found i) both within liposome core and on the surface of the outer lipid bilayer, or ii) adsorbed on the outer lipid bilayer surface only, we demonstrated the maintenance of lipid bilayer integrity by microscopic techniques (cryo-TEM, and AFM). The employment of SERS and FTIR-ATR techniques enabled us not only to elucidate the lipid interaction pattern and their orientation in regards to Au NP aggregates but also unequivocally confirmed the impact of Au NP aggregates on the persistence/breaking of van der Waals interactions between hydrocarbon chains of DPPC.

Abstract
In situ analysis of membrane protein-ligand interactions under physiological conditions is of significance for both fundamental and applied science, but it is still a big challenge due to the limits in sensitivity and selectivity. Here, we demonstrate the potential of surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) for the investigation of membrane protein-protein interactions. Lipid biolayers are successfully coated on silver nanoparticles through electrostatic interactions, and a highly sensitive and biomimetic membrane platform is obtained in vitro. Self-assembly and immobilization of the reduced cytochrome b5 on the coated membrane are achieved and protein native biological functions are preserved. Owing to resonance effect, the Raman fingerprint of the immobilized cytochrome b5 redox center is selectively enhanced, allowing for in situ and real-time monitoring of the electron transfer process between cytochrome b5 and their partners, cytochrome c and myoglobin. This study provides a sensitive analytical approach for membrane proteins and paves the way for in situ exploration of their structural basis and functions.

Abstract
Liposomes are versatile lipid-based vesicles with interesting physicochemical properties, making them excellent candidates for interdisciplinary applications in the medicinal, biological, and environmental sciences. The synthesis of mineral-liposome hybrid systems lends normally inert vesicles with the catalytic, magnetic, electrical, and optical properties of the integrated mineral species. Such applications require an understanding of the physicochemical interactions between organic molecules and inorganic crystal structures. This review provides an overview on these interactions and details on synthesis and characterization methods for these systems.

Abstract
Phototherapy has the advantages of being a highly targeted, less toxic, less invasive, and repeatable treatment, compared with conventional treatment methods such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. The preparation strategies are significant in order to determine the physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles. However, choosing appropriate preparation strategies to meet applications is still challenging. This review summarizes the recent progress of preparation strategies in organic nanoparticles, mainly focusing on the principles, methods, and advantages of nanopreparation strategies. In addition, typical examples of cancer phototherapeutics are introduced in detail to inform the choice of appropriate preparation strategies. The relative future trend and outlook are preliminarily proposed.

Abstract
Manipulating the super-assembly of polymeric building blocks still remains a great challenge due to their thermodynamic instability. Here, we report on a type of three-dimensional hierarchical core-satellite SiO2@monomicelle spherical superstructures via a previously unexplored monomicelle interfacial super-assembly route. Notably, in this superstructure, an ultrathin single layer of monomicelle subunits (~18 nm) appears in a typically hexagon-like regular discontinuous distribution (adjacent micelle distance of ~30 nm) on solid spherical interfaces (SiO2), which is difficult to achieve by conventional super-assembled methods. Besides, the number of the monomicelles on colloidal SiO2 interfaces can be quantitatively controlled (from 76 to 180). This quantitative control can be precisely manipulated by tuning the interparticle electrostatic interactions (the intermicellar electrostatic repulsion and electrostatic attractions between the monomicelle units and the SiO2 substrate). This monomicelle interfacial super-assembly strategy will enable a controllable way for building multiscale hierarchical regular micro- and/or macroscale materials and devices.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanotags hold a unique place among bioimaging contrast agents due to their fingerprint-like spectra, which provide one of the highest degrees of detection specificity. However, in order to achieve a sufficiently high signal intensity, targeting capabilities, and biocompatibility, all components of nanotags must be rationally designed and tailored to a specific application. Design parameters include fine-tuning the properties of the plasmonic core as well as optimizing the choice of Raman reporter molecule, surface coating, and targeting moieties for the intended application. This review introduces readers to the principles of SERS nanotag design and discusses both established and emerging protocols of their synthesis, with a specific focus on the construction of SERS nanotags in the context of bioimaging and theranostics.

Abstract
Liposomes are attractive carriers for targeted and controlled drug delivery receiving increasing attention in cancer photothermal therapy. However, the field of creating near-infrared nanomaterial-liposome hybrid nanocarriers (NIRN-Lips) is relatively little understood. The hybrid nanocarriers combine the dual superiority of nanomaterials and liposomes, with more stable particles, enhanced photoluminescence, higher tumor permeability, better tumor-targeted drug delivery, stimulus-responsive drug release, and thus exhibiting better anti-tumor efficacy. Herein, this review covers the liposomes supported various types of near-infrared nanomaterials, including gold-based nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, and semiconductor quantum dots. Specifically, the NIRN-Lips are described in terms of their feature, synthesis, and drug-release mechanism. The design considerations of NIRN-Lips are highlighted. Further, we briefly introduced the photothermal conversion mechanism of NIRNs and the cell death mechanism induced by photothermal therapy. Subsequently, we provided a brief conclusion of NIRNs-Lips applied in cancer photothermal therapy. Finally, we discussed a synopsis of associated challenges and future perspectives for the applications of NIRN-Lips in cancer photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Modulating the tumor immune microenvironment to activate immune cells has been investigated to convert cold to hot tumors. Here, we report that metal-lipid hybrid nanoparticle (MLN)-mediated gene editing of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) can restructure the tumor microenvironment to an "immune activated" state for subsequent immunotherapy. MLNs with cationic lipids and elemental metallic Au inside were designed to deliver plasmid DNA encoding TGF-β single guide RNA and Cas9 protein (pC9sTgf) and to convert near-infrared light (NIR) to heat. Upon NIR irradiation, MLNs induced photothermal anticancer effects and calreticulin exposure on B16F10 cancer cells. Lipoplexes of pC9sTgf and MLN (pC9sTgf@MLN) provided gene editing of B16F10 cells and in vivo tumor tissues. In mice treated with pC9sTgf@MLNs and NIR irradiation, the tumor microenvironment showed increases in mature dendritic cells, cytotoxic T cells, and interferon-γ expression. In B16F10 tumor-bearing mice, intratumoral injection of pC9sTgf@MLNs and NIR irradiation resulted in ablation of primary tumors. Application of pC9sTgf@MLNs and NIR irradiation prevented the growth of secondarily challenged B16F10 cells at distant sites and B16F10 lung metastasis. Combined TGF-β gene editing and phototherapy is herein supported as a modality for restructuring the tumor immune microenvironment and preventing tumor recurrence.

CuO Bionanocomposite with Enhanced Stability and Antibacterial Activity against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Strains. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14216336. [PMID: 34771863 PMCID: PMC8585137 DOI: 10.3390/ma14216336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Worldwide, bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is the greatest challenge in public health care. To overcome the issue, metal-based nanoparticles were extensively used as an alternative to traditional antibiotics. However, their unstable nature limits their use. In the present study a very simple, environmentally friendly, one-pot synthesis method that avoids the use of organic solvents has been proposed to design stable, novel nanocomposites. Formulation was done by mixing biogenic copper oxide (CuO) nanomaterial with glycerol and phospholipids isolated from egg yolk in an appropriate ratio at optimum conditions. Characterization was done using dynamic light scattering DLS, Zeta potential, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Further, its antibacterial activity was evaluated against the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase strains based on zone of inhibition and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) indices. Results from this study have demonstrated the formulation of stable nanocomposites with a zeta potential of 34.9 mV. TEM results indicated clear dispersed particles with an average of 59.3 ± 5 nm size. Furthermore, HPLC analysis of the egg yolk extract exhibits the presence of phospholipids in the sample and has significance in terms of stability. The newly formed nanocomposite has momentous antibacterial activity with MIC 62.5 μg/mL. The results suggest that it could be a good candidate for drug delivery in terms of bactericidal therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The complete regression of residual tumors after photothermal therapy (PTT) depends on the activation and recognition of the immune system. However, the inevitable local inflammation after PTT in residual tumor recruits abundant abnormal immune cells, especially the tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) which further promote immune escape and survival of the remaining tumor cells, resulting in the tumor recurrence and progression. To solve this problem, herein we explored biomimetic nanoparticles carrying repolarization agent of TAMs to remodel the post-PTT inflammatory microenvironment. The polydopamine nanoparticles were used simultaneously as photothermal transduction agents to ablate tumor cells and the delivery vehicles for TMP195 which can repolarize the M2-like TAMs into an antitumor phenotype. In addition, a biomimetic decoration of macrophage membrane coating was designed to endow nanoparticles the ability to actively target the tumor site after PTT mediated by inflammation-mediated chemotaxis. In the breast tumor model, these biomimetic nanoparticles with immune-modulating ability significantly elevated the levels of M1-like TAMs, ultimately resulting in a tumor-elimination rate of 60%, increased from 10% after PTT. This synergistic treatment strategy of PTT and TAMs repolarization provides a promising approach to address the deteriorated tumor microenvironment after PTT and proposes a more effective way for combinational treatment option in clinic.

Abstract
In this work, we used a sequential method of synthesis for gold-silver bimetallic nanoparticles with core@shell structure (Au@AgNPs). Rumex hymenosepalus root extract (Rh), which presents high content in catechins and stilbenes, was used as reductor agent in nanoparticles synthesis. Size distribution obtained by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) gives a mean diameter of 36 ± 11 nm for Au@AgNPs, 24 ± 4 nm for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and 13 ± 3 nm for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The geometrical shapes of NPs were principally quasi-spherical. The thickness of the silver shell over AuNPs is around 6 nm and covered by active biomolecules onto the surface. Nanoparticles characterization included high angle annular dark field images (HAADF) recorded with a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Zeta Potential, and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) show that nanoparticles are stabilized by extract molecules. A growth kinetics study was performed using the Gompertz model for microorganisms exposed to nanomaterials. The results indicate that AgNPs and Au@AgNPs affect the lag phase and growth rate of Escherichia coli and Candida albicans in a dose-dependent manner, with a better response for Au@AgNPs.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has introduced a new quality and has definitely developed the possibilities of treating and diagnosing various diseases. One of the scientists' interests is liposomes and metallic nanoparticles (LipoMNPs)-the combination of which has introduced new properties and applications. However, the field of creating hybrid nanostructures consisting of liposomes and metallic nanoparticles is relatively little understood. The purpose of this review was to compile the latest reports in the field of treatment and medical imaging using of LipoMNPs. The authors focused on presenting this issue in the direction of improving the used conventional treatment and imaging methods. Most of all, the nature of bio-interactions between nanostructures and cells is not sufficiently taken into account. As a result, overcoming the existing limitations in the implementation of such solutions in the clinic is difficult. We concluded that hybrid nanostructures are used in a very wide range, especially in the treatment of cancer and magnetic resonance imaging. There were also solutions that combine treatments with simultaneous imaging, creating a theragnostic approach. In the future, researchers should focus on the description of the biological interactions and the long-term effects of the nanostructures to use LipoMNPs in the treatment of patients.

Abstract
The epoch of nanotechnology has authorized novel investigation strategies in the area of drug delivery. Liposomes are attractive biomimetic nanocarriers characterized by their biocompatibility, high loading capacity, and their ability to reduce encapsulated drug toxicity. Nevertheless, various limitations including physical instability, lack of site specificity, and low targeting abilities have impeded the use of solo liposomes. Metal nanocarriers are emerging moieties that can enhance the therapeutic activity of many drugs with improved release and targeted potential, yet numerous barriers, such as colloidal instability, cellular toxicity, and poor cellular uptake, restrain their applicability in vivo. The empire of nanohybrid systems has shelled to overcome these curbs and to combine the criteria of liposomes and metal nanocarriers for successful theranostic delivery. Metallic moieties can be embedded or functionalized on the liposomal systems. The current review sheds light on different liposomal-metal nanohybrid systems that were designed as cellular bearers for therapeutic agents, delivering them to their targeted terminus to combat one of the most widely recognized diseases, cancer.

Abstract
Brain is by far the most complex organ in the body. It is involved in the regulation of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional activities. The organ is also a target for many diseases and disorders ranging from injuries to cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. Brain diseases are the main causes of disability and one of the leading causes of deaths. Several drugs that have shown potential in improving brain structure and functioning in animal models face many challenges including the delivery, specificity, and toxicity. For many years, researchers have been facing challenge of developing drugs that can cross the physical (blood–brain barrier), electrical, and chemical barriers of the brain and target the desired region with few adverse events. In recent years, nanotechnology emerged as an important technique for modifying and manipulating different objects at the molecular level to obtain desired features. The technique has proven to be useful in diagnosis as well as treatments of brain diseases and disorders by facilitating the delivery of drugs and improving their efficacy. As the subject is still hot, and new research findings are emerging, it is clear that nanotechnology could upgrade health care systems by providing easy and highly efficient diagnostic and treatment methods. In this review, we will focus on the application of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases and disorders by illuminating the potential of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble antioxidant. Although CoQ10 has not been approved as medication by the Food and Drug Administration, it is widely used in dietary supplements. Some studies have shown that CoQ10 has anti-inflammatory effects on various autoimmune disorders. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of liposome/gold hybrid nanoparticles encoded with CoQ10 (LGNP-CoQ10). Both CoQ10 and LGNP-CoQ10 were administered orally to mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) for 10 weeks. The inflammation pathology of joint tissues of CIA mice was then analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin and Safranin O staining, as well as immunohistochemistry analysis. We obtained immunofluorescence staining images of spleen tissues using confocal microscopy. We found that pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased in LGNP-CoQ10 injected mice. Th17 cell and phosphorylated STAT3-expressed cell populations were also decreased in LGNP-CoQ10 injected mice. When human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were treated with CoQ10 and LGNP-CoQ10, the IL-17 expression of PBMCs in the LGNP-CoQ10-treated group was significantly reduced. Together, these results suggest that LGNP-CoQ10 has therapeutic potential for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Xu S, Zheng H, Ma R, Wu D, Pan Y, Yin C, Gao M, Wang W, Li W, Liu S, Chai Z, Li R. Vacancies on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides elicit ferroptotic cell death. Nat Commun 2020; 11:3484. [PMID: 32661253 PMCID: PMC7359333 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-17300-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2019] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Sustainable developments of nanotechnology necessitate the exploration of structure-activity relationships (SARs) at nano-bio interfaces. While ferroptosis may contribute in the developments of some severe diseases (e.g., Parkinson's disease, stroke and tumors), the cellular pathways and nano-SARs are rarely explored in diseases elicited by nano-sized ferroptosis inducers. Here we find that WS2 and MoS2 nanosheets induce an iron-dependent cell death, ferroptosis in epithelial (BEAS-2B) and macrophage (THP-1) cells, evidenced by the suppression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), oxygen radical generation and lipid peroxidation. Notably, nano-SAR analysis of 20 transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) disclosures the decisive role of surface vacancy in ferroptosis. We therefore develop methanol and sulfide passivation as safe design approaches for TMD nanosheets. These findings are validated in animal lungs by oropharyngeal aspiration of TMD nanosheets. Overall, our study highlights the key cellular events as well as nano-SARs in TMD-induced ferroptosis, which may facilitate the safe design of nanoproducts.

Abstract
The treatment of bladder cancer has recently shown minimal progress. Gene therapy mediated by CRISPR provides a new option for bladder cancer treatment. In this study, we developed a versatile liposome system to deliver the CRISPR-Cas13a gene circuits into bladder cancer cells. After in vitro studies and intravesical perfusion studies in mice, this system showed five advantages: (1) CRISPR-Cas13a, a transcriptional targeting and cleavage tool for gene expression editing, did not affect the stability of the cell genome; (2) the prepared liposome systems were targeted to hVEGFR2, which is always highly expressed in bladder cancer cells; (3) the CRISPR-Cas13a sequence was driven by an artificial tumor specific promoter to achieve further targeting; (4) a near-infrared photosensitizer released using near-infrared light was introduced to control the delivery system; and (5) the plasmids were constructed with three crRNA tandem sequences to achieve multiple targeting and wider therapeutic results. This tumor cell targeting lipid delivery system with near-infrared laser-controlled ability provided a versatile strategy for CRISPR-Cas13a based gene therapy of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has demonstrated great potential to analyze a variety of bio/chemical molecular interactions within cells in a highly sensitive and selective manner. Despite significant advancements, it remains a critical challenge to ensure high sensitivity and selectivity, while achieving uniform signal enhancement and high reproducibility for quantitative detection of targeted biomarkers within a complex stem cell microenvironment. Herein, we demonstrate an innovative sensing platform, using graphene-coated homogeneous plasmonic metal (Au) nanoarrays, which synergize both electromagnetic mechanism (EM)- and chemical mechanism (CM)-based enhancement. Through the homogeneous plasmonic nanostructures, generated by laser interference lithography (LIL), highly reproducible enhancement of Raman signals could be obtained via a strong and uniform EM. Additionally, the graphene-functionalized surface simultaneously amplifies the Raman signals by an optimized CM, which aligns the energy level of the graphene oxide with the target molecule by tuning its oxidation levels, consequently increasing the sensitivity and accuracy of our sensing system. Using the dual-enhanced Raman scattering from both EM from the homogeneous plasmonic Au nanoarray and CM from the graphene surface, our graphene-Au hybrid nanoarray was successfully utilized to detect as well as quantify a specific biomarker (TuJ1) gene expression levels to characterize neuronal differentiation of human neural stem cells (hNSCs). Collectively, we believe our unique graphene-plasmonic hybrid nanoarray can be extended to a wide range of applications in the development of simple, rapid, and accurate sensing platforms for screening various bio/chemical molecules.

Abstract
Nanoconstructions composed of lipid vesicles and inorganic units (nanoparticles, metal complexes) arouse much interest across materials science and nanotechnology as hybrid materials combining useful functionalities from both parts. Ideally, these units are to be embedded into the bilayer to keep the biophysical performance of lipid vesicles having inorganic moieties screened from the environment. This can be achieved by doping a lipid bilayer with cluster complexes of transition metals. In this work, we report the preparation of nanoparticles from trinuclear W3S4 cluster complexes and egg phosphatidylcholine. A systematic study of their properties was performed by the differential scanning calorimetry, NMR spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. Phospholipids and clusters have been found to spontaneously self-assemble into novel cluster-lipid hybrid materials. The behavior of clusters in the hydrophobic lipid environment is determined by the structure of the ligands and cluster-to-lipid ratio. Intact cluster complexes bearing compact hydrophobic ligands are embedded into the hydrophobic midplane of a lipid bilayer, whereas cluster complexes bearing larger ligands drive the aggregation of lipids and cluster complexes. Considering these differences, it could be possible to obtain different self-assembled associates such as cluster-doped liposomes or lipid-covered crystals. These cluster-lipid hybrids can be a platform for the design of new materials for nanotechnology.

Abstract
Hybrids composed of liposomes (L) and metallic nanoparticles (NPs) hold great potential for imaging and drug delivery purposes. However, the efficient incorporation of metallic NPs into liposomes using conventional methodologies has so far proved to be challenging. In this study, we report the fabrication of hybrids of liposomes and hydrophobic gold NPs of size 2-4 nm (Au) using a microfluidic-assisted self-assembly process. The incorporation of increasing amounts of AuNPs into liposomes was examined using microfluidics and compared to L-AuNP hybrids prepared by the reverse-phase evaporation method. Our microfluidics strategy produced L-AuNP hybrids with a homogeneous size distribution, a smaller polydispersity index, and a threefold increase in loading efficiency when compared to those hybrids prepared using the reverse-phase method of production. Quantification of the loading efficiency was determined by ultraviolet spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy, and centrifugal field flow fractionation, and qualitative validation was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. The higher loading of gold NPs into the liposomes achieved using microfluidics produced a slightly thicker and more rigid bilayer as determined with small-angle neutron scattering. These observations were confirmed using fluorescent anisotropy and atomic force microscopy. Structural characterization of the liposomal-NP hybrids with cryo-electron microscopy revealed the coexistence of membrane-embedded and interdigitated NP-rich domains, suggesting AuNP incorporation through hydrophobic interactions. The microfluidic technique that we describe in this study allows for the automated production of monodisperse liposomal-NP hybrids with high loading capacity, highlighting the utility of microfluidics to improve the payload of metallic NPs within liposomes, thereby enhancing their application for imaging and drug delivery.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticle (AuNP) has been widely used in cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) for ablating accessible tumor, while it is insufficient for inhibiting tumor metastasis and relapse in current stage. Here, we first developed a novel immunological AuNP through intracellular generation and exocytosis for combinatorial PTT and immunotherapy. Melanoma B16F10 cells were employed to generate AuNPs first and then shed nanoparticle trapped vesicles to extracellular environment with retained tumor antigens (AuNP@B16F10). By further introducing the nanoparticles into dendritic cells (DCs), DC-derived AuNPs (AuNP@DCB16F10) were generated with enhanced biosafety, which can induce hyperthermia and provoke antitumor immune responses. This immunological nanoplatform demonstrated efficient inhibition or even eradication of primary tumor, tumor metastasis, as well as tumor relapse, with significantly improved overall survival of mice. With our design, the intracellularly generated AuNPs with immunological property could act as an effective treatment modality for cancer.

Abstract
A simple yet powerful flame chemical vapor deposition technique is proposed that allows free control of the surface morphology, microstructure, and composition of existing materials with regard to various functionalities within a short process time (in seconds) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure as per the requirement. Since the heat energy is directly transferred to the material surface, the redox periodically converges to the energy dynamic equilibrium depending on the energy injection time; therefore, bidirectional transition between the semiconductor/metal is optionally available. To demonstrate this, a variety of Sn-based particles were created on preformed SnO2 nanowires, and this has been interpreted as a new mechanism for the response and response times of gas-sensing, which are representative indicators of the most surface-sensitive applications and show one-to-one correspondence between theoretical and experimental results. The detailed technologies derived herein are clearly influential in both research and industry.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, metal nanoparticles less than 100 nm in diameter have made a substantial impact across diverse biomedical applications, such as diagnostic and medical devices, for personalized healthcare practice. In particular, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have great potential in a broad range of applications as antimicrobial agents, biomedical device coatings, drug-delivery carriers, imaging probes, and diagnostic and optoelectronic platforms, since they have discrete physical and optical properties and biochemical functionality tailored by diverse size- and shape-controlled AgNPs. In this review, we aimed to present major routes of synthesis of AgNPs, including physical, chemical, and biological synthesis processes, along with discrete physiochemical characteristics of AgNPs. We also discuss the underlying intricate molecular mechanisms behind their plasmonic properties on mono/bimetallic structures, potential cellular/microbial cytotoxicity, and optoelectronic property. Lastly, we conclude this review with a summary of current applications of AgNPs in nanoscience and nanomedicine and discuss their future perspectives in these areas.

Abstract
Hybrid liposome/metal nanoparticles are promising candidate drug-carriers for therapy of various diseases due to their unique photothermal effect. In this study, self-crystallized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and doxorubicin (DOX) were co-encapsulated within liposomes (Au/DOX-Lips) by thin film hydration and gel separation technology. The surface plasmon resonance bands of drug-carriers were controllable in the near-infrared (NIR) zone. When the complex liposome/metallic hybrids were irradiated by NIR light, they displayed higher endocytosis efficiency following the fracture of liposomal membranes and the release of Au NPs. Then, the Au NPs penetrated further into deeper tumor tissue to accomplish photothermal treatment. The Au/DOX-Lips showed an excellent antitumor effect, whose inhibition rate for tumor cells was up to 78.28%. In experiments on mice bearing tumors, the Au/DOX-Lips treated mice exhibited superior tumor suppression. This novel drug system provides huge potential for biomedical application.

Abstract
Detection and removal of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from food and pharmaceutical preparations is important for their safe intake and administration to avoid septic shock. We have developed an abiotic system for reversible capture, removal, and detection of LPS in aqueous solutions. Our system comprises long C18 acyl chains tethered to Fe3O4/Au/Fe3O4 nanoflowers (NFs) that act as solid supports during the separation process. The reversible LPS binding is mediated by facile hydrophobic interactions between the C18 chains and the bioactive lipid A component present on the LPS molecule. Various parameters such as pH, solvent, sonication time, NF concentration, alkane chain length, and density are optimized to achieve a maximum LPS capture efficiency. The NFs can be reused at least three times by simply breaking the NF-LPS complexes in the presence of food-grade surfactants, making the entire process safe, efficient, and scalable. The regenerated particles also serve as colorimetric labels in dot blot bioassays for simple and rapid estimation of the LPS removed.

Abstract
There has been significant progress in the self-assembly of biological materials, but the one-step covalent peptide self-assembly for well-defined nanostructures is still in its infancy. Inspired by the biological functions of tyrosine, a covalently assembled fluorescent peptide nanogel is developed by a ruthenium-mediated, one-step photo-crosslinking of tyrosine-rich short peptides under the visible light within 6 minutes. The covalently assembled peptide nanogel is stable in various organic solvents and different pH levels, unlike those made from vulnerable non-covalent assemblies. The semipermeable peptide nanogel with a high density of redox-active tyrosine acts as a novel nano-bioreactor, allowing the formation of uniform metal-peptide hybrids by selective biomineralization under UV irradiation. As such, this peptide nanogel could be useful in the design of novel nanohybrids and peptidosomes possessing functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
The hydrazone modulation of a penetrating peptide carrier is reported as a suitable and straightforward strategy for the delivery of Cas9 inside living cells.
The discovery of RNA guided endonucleases has emerged as one of the most important tools for gene edition and biotechnology. The selectivity and simplicity of the CRISPR/Cas9 strategy allows the straightforward targeting and editing of particular loci in the cell genome without the requirement of protein engineering. However, the transfection of plasmids encoding the Cas9 and the guide RNA could lead to undesired permanent recombination and immunogenic responses. Therefore, the direct delivery of transient Cas9 ribonucleoprotein constitutes an advantageous strategy for gene edition and other potential therapeutic applications of the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The covalent fusion of Cas9 with penetrating peptides requires multiple incubation steps with the target cells to achieve efficient levels of gene edition. These and other recent reports suggested that covalent conjugation of the anionic Cas9 ribonucleoprotein to cationic peptides would be associated with a hindered nuclease activity due to undesired electrostatic interactions. We here report a supramolecular strategy for the direct delivery of Cas9 by an amphiphilic penetrating peptide that was prepared by a hydrazone bond formation between a cationic peptide scaffold and a hydrophobic aldehyde tail. The peptide/protein non-covalent nanoparticles performed with similar efficiency and less toxicity than one of the best methods described to date. To the best of our knowledge this report constitutes the first supramolecular strategy for the direct delivery of Cas9 using a penetrating peptide vehicle. The results reported here confirmed that peptide amphiphilic vectors can deliver Cas9 in a single incubation step, with good efficiency and low toxicity. This work will encourage the search and development of conceptually new synthetic systems for transitory endonucleases direct delivery.
