Abstract
The technique of engineering drug delivery vehicles continues to develop, which bring enhancements in working more efficiently and minimizing side effects to make it more effective and safer. The intense capability of therapeutic agents to remain undamaged in a harsh extracellular environment is helpful to the success of drug development efforts. With this in mind, alterations of biopharmaceuticals with enhanced stability and decreased immunogenicity have been an increasingly active focus of such efforts. Red blood cells (RBCs), also known as erythrocytes have undergone extensive scrutiny as potential vehicles for drug delivery due to their remarkable attributes over the years of research. These include intrinsic biocompatibility, minimal immunogenicity, flexibility, and prolonged systemic circulation. Throughout the course of investigation, a diverse array of drug delivery platforms based on RBCs has emerged. These encompass genetically engineered RBCs, non-genetically modified RBCs, and RBC membrane-coated nanoparticles, each devised to cater to a range of biomedical objectives. Given their prevalence in the circulatory system, RBCs have gained significant attention for their potential to serve as biomimetic coatings for artificial nanocarriers. By virtue of their surface emulation capabilities and customizable core materials, nanocarriers mimicking these RBCs, hold considerable promise across a spectrum of applications, spanning drug delivery, imaging, phototherapy, immunomodulation, sensing, and detection. These multifaceted functionalities underscore the considerable therapeutic and diagnostic potential across various diseases. Our proposed review provides the synthesis of recent strides in the theranostic utilization of erythrocytes in the context of cancer. It also delves into the principal challenges and prospects intrinsic to this realm of research. The focal point of this review pertains to accentuating the significance of erythrocyte-based theranostic systems in combating cancer. Furthermore, it precisely records the latest and the most specific methodologies for tailoring the attributes of these biomimetic nanoscale formulations, attenuating various discoveries for the treatment and management of cancer.

Abstract
The limited penetration of nanocarriers into tumors and the slow release of drugs from these carriers to tumor cells are significant challenges in cancer therapy. In this study, we developed a novel drug delivery carrier derived from mesoporous silica, dually modified with the tumor-homing cyclic peptide iRGD (CRGDKGPDC) and the pH-responsive polymer poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOz) for treating triple-negative breast cancer. The carrier selectively bound to the αvβ3 integrin receptor, which is specifically expressed in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and vessels. Subsequently, it penetrated deep into the tumor parenchyma through NRP-1 receptor-dependent internalization, with the drug-loaded particles releasing drugs rapidly in the acidic cytoplasmic environment. Results indicated that the drug release rate of PEOz-modified formulations was pH-dependent. Lysosomal escape experiments demonstrated that PEOz-modified particles efficiently escaped lysosomes to release drugs. In vitro cytotoxicity assays revealed that iRGD-functionalized particles were more cytotoxic to NRP-1-positive MDA-MB-231 cells compared to NRP-1-negative MCF-7 cells. Cellular uptake studies demonstrated that iRGD mediated enhanced endocytosis of nanoparticles into MDA-MB-231 cells. In vitro tumor cell spheroid penetration assays confirmed that the PEOz and iRGD dual-modified carrier facilitated deeper distribution of DOX in multicellular spheroids compared to free DOX. Moreover, in a nude mouse model of triple-negative breast cancer, the dual-modified drug-loaded carrier significantly inhibited tumor growth without inducing weight loss or liver and kidney damage. This dual-modified mesoporous silica presents a novel and promising delivery carrier for enhancing cancer treatment.

Abstract
One of the primary threats in tumor treatment revolves around the limited ability to penetrate tumor sites, leading to reduced therapeutic effectiveness, which remains a critical concern. Recently gaining importance are novel peptides, namely CRGDK/RGPD/EC (iRGD), that possess enhanced tumor-penetrating and inhibitory properties. These peptides specifically target and penetrate tumors by binding to αvβ integrins, namely αvβ3 and αvβ5, as well as NRP-1 receptors. Remarkably abundant on both the vasculature and tumor cell surfaces, these peptides show promising potential for improving tumor treatment outcomes. As a result, iRGD penetrated deep into the tumor tissues with biological products, contrast agents (imaging agents), antitumor drugs, and immune modulators after co-injecting them with peptides or chemically linked to peptides. The synthesis of iRGD peptides is a relatively straightforward process compared to the synthesis of other traditional peptides, and they significantly improved tumor tissue penetration inhibiting tumor metastasis effectively. Recent studies demonstrate the effectiveness of iRGD-driven dual-targeting chemotherapeutics on cancer cells, and the nanocarriers were modified with iRGD, serving as a favorable delivery strategy of payloads for deeper tumor regions. This review aims to provide an overview to emphasize the recent advancements and advantages of iRGD in treating and imaging various cancers.

Abstract
Although Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections cause severe diseases of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea), using antibiotics and other chemical agents to treat these infections could result in antimicrobial resistance, environmental pollution, and other associated problems. This study identified seven peptides from Lacticaseibacillus paracasei fermentation broth using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and screened antimicrobial peptide Y2Fr (VEIKNGLLKLNGKPLLIR) through its net charge, hydrophobicity and predicted secondary structure. Antibacterial activity analysis revealed that Y2Fr had a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 125 μg/mL, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 250 μg/mL against V. parahaemolyticus and a time-kill of 3 h. In a bacterial membrane environment, the secondary structure of peptide Y2Fr changed from a random coil to a β-sheet to enhance its membrane permeability and binding to bacteria DNA to exert its antibacterial effect. Further molecular docking analysis revealed that peptide Y2Fr could bind to the membrane protein KKI11460.1 and DNA polymerase A0A0L8TVA4 of V. parahaemolyticus through hydrogen bonds. Meanwhile, treatment of Y2Fr with mammalian red blood cells and plasma revealed that it was noncytotoxic, nonhemolytic, and stable under physiological conditions. Thus, peptide Y2Fr has great potential use in treating and preventing infections caused by V. parahaemolyticus or similar bacteria in aquatic animals.

Abstract
Utilizing small interfering RNA (siRNA) as a treatment for cancer, a disease largely driven by genetic aberrations, shows great promise. However, implementing siRNA therapy in clinical practice is challenging due to its limited bioavailability following systemic administration. An attractive approach to address this issue is the use of a nanoparticle (NP) delivery platform, which protects siRNA and delivers it to the cytoplasm of target cells. We provide an overview of design considerations for using lipid-based NPs, polymer-based NPs, and inorganic NPs to improve the efficacy and safety of siRNA delivery. We focus on the chemical structure modification of carriers and NP formulation optimization, NP surface modifications to target breast cancer cells, and the linking strategy and intracellular release of siRNA. As a practical example, recent advances in the development of siRNA therapeutics for treating breast cancer are discussed, with a focus on inhibiting cancer growth, overcoming drug resistance, inhibiting metastasis, and enhancing immunotherapy.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer. Due to the lack of specific therapeutic targets, treatment options are limited, and the recurrence and metastasis rate is high, the overall survival of patients is poor. However, with the discovery of some new targets and the corresponding immune regulation after targeting these targets, TNBC has a new hope in treatment. The peptide has a simple structure, strong binding affinity, and high stability, and has great potential in targeted therapy and immune regulation against TNBC. This review will discuss how single peptides and peptide combinations target triple-negative breast cancer to exert immunomodulatory effects. Among them, single peptides target specific receptors on TNBC cells, act as decoys to target key ligands in the regulatory pathway, and target TME-related cells. The combinations of peptides work in the form of cancer vaccines, engineered exosomes, microRNAs and other immune-related molecular pathways, immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and drug-peptide conjugates. This article is mainly dedicated to exploring new treatment methods for TNBC to improve the curative effect and prolong the survival time of patients.

Abstract
The treatment of malignant tumors is usually accompanied by poor prognosis due to metastasis of tumor cells. Hence, it is crucial to enhance anti-metastasis efficacy when anti-tumor treatments are conducted. It has been reported that the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is highly expressed on the surface of tumor cells and plays an essential role in the metastasis of tumor cells. Thus, reducing VCAM-1 expression offers hope for inhibiting the metastasis of tumor cells. Evidence has shown that succinobucol (Suc) can selectively and efficiently inhibit VCAM-1 expression. Inspired by these, we designed dual drug-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (Co-NPs) to co-deliver VCAM-1 inhibitor Suc and the chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (Dox) which could both effectively suppress primary melanoma and its lung metastases. Co-NPs were composed of PLGA encapsulated Suc and Dox as hydrophobic cores and DSPE-mPEG2000 as surface modification materials. With an appropriate particle size (122.4 nm) and a negatively charged surface (-6.77 mV) we could achieve prolonged blood circulation. The in vitro experiments showed that Co-NPs had potent cytotoxicity against B16F10 cells and could significantly inhibit VCAM-1 expression and migration of B16F10 cells. Additionally, the in vivo experiments showed that Co-NPs could efficiently suppress not only primary melanoma but also its lung metastases. In conclusion, PLGA nanoparticles containing VCAM-1 inhibitor Suc and chemotherapeutic Dox as therapy against primary tumors and their lung metastases provides a promising drug delivery strategy for the treatment of metastatic malignant tumors.

Abstract
The global prevalence of cancer is increasing, necessitating new additions to traditional treatments and diagnoses to address shortcomings such as ineffectiveness, complications, and high cost. In this context, nano and microparticulate carriers stand out due to their unique properties such as controlled release, higher bioavailability, and lower toxicity. Despite their popularity, they face several challenges including rapid liver uptake, low chemical stability in blood circulation, immunogenicity concerns, and acute adverse effects. Cell-mediated delivery systems are important topics to research because of their biocompatibility, biodegradability, prolonged delivery, high loading capacity, and targeted drug delivery capabilities. To date, a variety of cells including blood, immune, cancer, and stem cells, sperm, and bacteria have been combined with nanoparticles to develop efficient targeted cancer delivery or diagnosis systems. The review paper aimed to provide an overview of the potential applications of cell-based delivery systems in cancer therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Clinical radiation therapy (RT) is often hindered by the low radiation energy absorption coefficient and the hypoxic features of tumor tissues. Among the tremendous efforts devoted to overcoming the barriers to efficient RT, the application of hypoxic radiosensitizers and cell-cycle-specific chemotherapeutics has shown great potential. However, their effectiveness is often compromised by their limited bioavailability, especially in the hypoxic region, which plays a major role in radioresistance. Herein, to simultaneously improve the delivery efficacy of both hypoxic radiosensitizer and cell-cycle-specific drug, a gambogic acid (GA) metronidazole (MN) prodrug (GM) was designed and synthesized based on GA, a naturally occurring chemotherapeutic and multiple pathway inhibitor, and MN, a typical hypoxic radiosensitizer. In combination with MN-containing block copolymers, the prodrug nanosensitizer (NS) of GM was obtained. Owing to the bioreduction of MN, the as-designed prodrug could be efficiently delivered to hypoxic cells and act on mitochondria to cause the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. The strong G2/M phase arrest caused by the prodrug NS could further sensitize treated cells to external radiation under hypoxic conditions by increasing DNA damage and delaying DNA repair. After coadministration of the NS with a well-established tissue-penetrating peptide, efficient tumor accumulation, deep tumor penetration, and highly potent chemoradiotherapy could be achieved.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer affecting women worldwide, with over 2 million women diagnosed every year, and close to 8 million women currently alive following a diagnosis of BC in the last 5-years. The side effects such as chemodrug toxicity to healthy tissues and drug resistance severely affect the quality of life of BC patients. To overcome these limitations, many efforts have been made to develop nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems. Among these nanocarriers, lipid-based delivery platforms represented one of the most successful candidates for cancer therapy, improving the safety profile and therapeutic efficacy of encapsulated drugs. In this review we will mainly discuss and summarize the recent advances in such delivery systems for BC metastasis treatment, with a particular focus on targeting the common metastatic sites in bone, brain and lung. We will also provide our perspectives on lipid-based nanocarrier development for future clinical translation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Red blood cell (or erythrocyte) membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles (RBC-NPs) not only have a superior circulation life and do not induce accelerated blood clearance, but also possess special functions, which offers great potential in cancer therapy. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the recent advances of RBC-NPs for delivering various agents to treat cancers in light of their vital role in improving drug delivery. Meanwhile, the construction and in vivo behavior of RBC-NPs are discussed to provide an in-depth understanding of the basis of RBC-NPs for improved cancer drug delivery. EXPERT OPINION Although RBC-NPs are quite prospective in delivering anti-cancer therapeutics, they are still in their infancy stage and many challenges need to be overcome for successful translation into the clinic. The preparation and modification of RBC membranes, the optimization of coating methods, the scale-up production and the quality control of RBC-NPs, and the drug loading and release should be carefully considered in the clinical translation of RBC-NPs for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Simple Summary Conventional antitumor drugs have limitations, including poor water solubility and lack of targeting capability, with consequent non-specific distribution, systemic toxicity, and low therapeutic index. Nanotechnology promises to overcome these drawbacks by exploiting the physical properties of diverse nanocarriers that can be linked to moieties with binding selectivity for cancer cells. The use of nanoparticles as therapeutic formulations allows a targeted delivery and a slow, controlled release of the drug(s), making them tunable modules for applications in precision medicine. In addition, nanoparticles are also being developed as cancer vaccines, offering an opportunity to increase both cellular and humoral immunity, thus providing a new weapon to beat cancer. Abstract Malignant tumors originate from a combination of genetic alterations, which induce activation of oncogenes and inactivation of oncosuppressor genes, ultimately resulting in uncontrolled growth and neoplastic transformation. Chemotherapy prevents the abnormal proliferation of cancer cells, but it also affects the entire cellular network in the human body with heavy side effects. For this reason, the ultimate aim of cancer therapy remains to selectively kill cancer cells while sparing their normal counterparts. Nanoparticle formulations have the potential to achieve this aim by providing optimized drug delivery to a pathological site with minimal accumulation in healthy tissues. In this review, we will first describe the characteristics of recently developed nanoparticles and how their physical properties and targeting functionalization are exploited depending on their therapeutic payload, route of delivery, and tumor type. Second, we will analyze how nanoparticles can overcome multidrug resistance based on their ability to combine different therapies and targeting moieties within a single formulation. Finally, we will discuss how the implementation of these strategies has led to the generation of nanoparticle-based cancer vaccines as cutting-edge instruments for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
The idea of employing natural cell membranes as a coating medium for nanoparticles (NPs) endows man-made vectors with natural capabilities and benefits. In addition to retaining the physicochemical characteristics of the NPs, the biomimetic NPs also have the functionality of source cell membranes. It has emerged as a promising approach to enhancing the properties of NPs for drug delivery, immune evasion, imaging, cancer-targeting, and phototherapy sensitivity. Several studies have been reported with a multitude of approaches to reengineering the surface of NPs using biological membranes. Owing to their low immunogenicity and intriguing biomimetic properties, cell-membrane-based biohybrid delivery systems have recently gained a lot of interest as therapeutic delivery systems. This review summarises different kinds of biomimetic NPs reported so far, their fabrication aspects, and their application in the biomedical field. Finally, it briefs on the latest advances available in this biohybrid concept.
