Abstract
As a biodegradable and biocompatible protein derived from collagen, gelatin has been extensively exploited as a fundamental component of biological scaffolds and drug delivery systems for precise medicine. The easily engineered gelatin holds great promise in formulating various delivery systems to protect and enhance the efficacy of drugs for improving the safety and effectiveness of numerous pharmaceuticals. The remarkable biocompatibility and adjustable mechanical properties of gelatin permit the construction of active 3D scaffolds to accelerate the regeneration of injured tissues and organs. In this Review, we delve into diverse strategies for fabricating and functionalizing gelatin-based structures, which are applicable to gene and drug delivery as well as tissue engineering. We emphasized the advantages of various gelatin derivatives, including methacryloyl gelatin, polyethylene glycol-modified gelatin, thiolated gelatin, and alendronate-modified gelatin. These derivatives exhibit excellent physicochemical and biological properties, allowing the fabrication of tailor-made structures for biomedical applications. Additionally, we explored the latest developments in the modulation of their physicochemical properties by combining additive materials and manufacturing platforms, outlining the design of multifunctional gelatin-based micro-, nano-, and macrostructures. While discussing the current limitations, we also addressed the challenges that need to be overcome for clinical translation, including high manufacturing costs, limited application scenarios, and potential immunogenicity. This Review provides insight into how the structural and chemical engineering of gelatin can be leveraged to pave the way for significant advancements in biomedical applications and the improvement of patient outcomes.

Abstract
Gelatin is a highly versatile natural polymer, which is widely used in healthcare-related sectors due to its advantageous properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, low-cost, and the availability of exposed chemical groups. In the biomedical field, gelatin is used also as a biomaterial for the development of drug delivery systems (DDSs) due to its applicability to several synthesis techniques. In this review, after a brief overview of its chemical and physical properties, the focus is placed on the commonly used techniques for the development of gelatin-based micro- or nano-sized DDSs. We highlight the potential of gelatin as a carrier of many types of bioactive compounds and its ability to tune and control select drugs' release kinetics. The desolvation, nanoprecipitation, coacervation, emulsion, electrospray, and spray drying techniques are described from a methodological and mechanistic point of view, with a careful analysis of the effects of the main variable parameters on the DDSs' properties. Lastly, the outcomes of preclinical and clinical studies involving gelatin-based DDSs are thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
Background:
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic metabolic disorders which affect
the quality of human life worldwide. As per the WHO report, between 1980 to 2014, the number of
diabetes patients increases from 108 million to 422 million, with a global prevalence rate of 8.5% per
year. Diabetes is the prime reason behind various other diseases like kidney failure, stroke, heart disorders,
glaucoma, etc. It is recognized as the seventh leading cause of death throughout the world. The
available therapies are painful (insulin injections) and inconvenient due to higher dosing frequency.
Thus, to find out a promising and convenient treatment, extensive investigations are carried out globally
by combining novel carrier system (like microparticle, microneedle, nanocarrier, microbeads etc.) and
delivery devices (insulin pump, stimuli-responsive device, inhalation system, bioadhesive patch, insulin
pen etc.) for more precise diagnosis and painless or less invasive treatment of disease.
Objective:
The review article is made with an objective to compile information about various upcoming
and existing modern technologies developed to provide greater patient compliance and reduce the undesirable
side effect of the drug. These devices evade the necessity of daily insulin injection and offer a
rapid onset of action, which sustained for a prolonged duration of time to achieve a better therapeutic
effect.
Conclusion:
Despite numerous advantages, various commercialized approaches, like Afrezza (inhalation
insulin) have been a failure in recent years. Such results call for more potential work to develop a
promising system. The novel approaches range from the delivery of non-insulin blood glucose lowering
agents to insulin-based therapy with minimal invasion are highly desirable.

Abstract
Currently, gelatin nanoparticles are gaining more grounds in drug and gene delivery throughout all the available several routes of administration. Yet, the homogenous and less disperse preparation of this type of nanoparticles is still a challenging task due to the variation of the gelatin quality according to its source and due to its variable molecular weight. Accordingly, several methods were proposed from which the double-desolvation method has been proven to yield optimum results regarding particle size and homogeneity. Thereby, we describe in this chapter a detailed procedure of this method. We also introduce our protocols of the cationization of this kind of nanoparticles as it is extensively needed in case of loading genetic materials or proteins. Additionally, FITC labeling of gelatin nanoparticles that is usually utilized for purposes of imaging or bio-distribution studies is also introduced step by step.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crosslinked gelatin nanofibers are one of the widely used scaffolds for soft tissue engineering. However, modifying the biodegradation rate of chemically crosslinked gelatin is necessary to facilitate cell migration and tissue regeneration. Here, we investigated the optimal electron beam (e-beam) irradiation doses with biodegradation behavior on changes in the molecular weight, morphology, pore structure, and cell proliferation profiles of electrospun nanofibrous gelatin sheets. METHODS The molecular weights of uncrosslinked gelatin nanofibers were measured using gel permeation chromatography. The morphology and pore structure of the gelatin scaffolds were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and a porosimeter. Biodegradation tests were performed in phosphate-buffered saline solutions for 4 weeks. Cell proliferation and tissue regeneration profiles were examined in fibroblasts using WST-1 assays and hematoxylin and eosin staining. RESULTS Crosslinked gelatin nanofiber sheets exposed to e-beam irradiation over 300 kGy showed approximately 50% weight loss in 2 weeks. Gelatin scaffolds exposed to e-beam irradiation at 100-200 kGy showed significantly increased cell proliferation after 7 days of incubation. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggested that the biodegradation and cell proliferation rates of gelatin nanofiber scaffolds could be optimized by varying e-beam irradiation doses for soft tissue engineering.

Abstract
The major challenges to clinical application of zidovudine are its moderate aqueous solubility and relative short half-life and serious side effects due to frequent administrations. We investigated the preparation of zidovudine-loaded nanoparticles based on lipids which were further modified with the polymer gelatin. Formulation and stability of the modified nanoparticles were analysed from the physico-chemical characterizations. The interactions of nanoparticles with blood components were tested by haemolysis and aggregation studies. The drug content and entrapment efficiencies were assessed by UV analysis. The effect of nanoparticles on protein adsorption was assessed by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). In vitro release studies showed a sustained release profile of zidovudine. In vitro cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of the zidovudine-loaded nanoparticles were performed in MCF-7 and neuro 2a brain cells. The enhanced cellular internalization of drug loaded modified nanoparticles in both the cell lines were revealed by fluorescence microscopy. Hence the present study focuses on the feasibility of zidovudine-loaded polymer modified lipid nanoparticles as carriers for safe and efficient HIV/AIDS therapy.

Abstract
The central nervous system shows a limited regenerative capacity, and injuries or diseases, such as those in the spinal, brain and retina, are a great problem since current therapies seem to be unable to achieve good results in terms of significant functional recovery. Different promising therapies have been suggested, the aim being to restore at least some of the lost functions. The current review deals with the use of hydrogels in developing advanced devices for central nervous system therapeutic strategies. Several approaches, involving cell-based therapy, delivery of bioactive molecules and nanoparticle-based drug delivery, will be first reviewed. Finally, some examples of injectable hydrogels for the delivery of bioactive molecules in central nervous system will be reported, and the key features as well as the basic principles in designing multifunctional devices will be described.

Abstract
A myriad of pathologies affect the gastrointestinal tract, citing this affected area as a significant target for therapeutic intervention. One group of therapeutic agents, antisense and oligonucleotides and small interfering RNAs, offer a promising platform for treating a wide variety of diseases ranging from cancer to auto-immune diseases. Current delivery methods are carried out either systemically or locally into diseased areas, both of which involve needles. The challenge in orally administering this type of treatment lies in the complications that arise due to the vast environmental extremes found within the gastrointestinal tract, owing to the fact that, as the drug travels down the gastrointestinal tract, it is subjected to pH changes and interactions with bacteria and a variety of digestive and protective enzymes including proteases, DNAses, and RNAses. Overcoming these challenges to allow the practical application of these drugs is a priority that has invoked a multitude of research in the chemical, biological, and material sciences. In this review, we will address common gastrointestinal pathologies, the barriers to oral-based therapies and antisense-interfering technologies, the approaches that have already been applied for their delivery, and the current status of antisense drug therapy clinical trials for gastrointestinal-related disorders.

Abstract
Despite all scientists efforts exerted over the past years, the ocular delivery of drugs remains a great challenge due to several barriers and hurdles faced by this kind of administration. The exploitation of gelatin that has a long history of safe use in pharmaceuticals and which is considered as a GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) material by the FDA was not fully achieved in this field. This review summarizes the recent studies and findings where gelatin-based micro- and nanoparticles were used for successful ocular delivery aiming at drawing the attention of researchers and scientists to this valuable biomaterial that has not been fully explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Progress in the field of biology and biochemistry has led to the discovery of numerous bioactive peptides and proteins in the last few decades. Delivery of therapeutic proteins/peptides has received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. METHODS In this study, a two-step desolvation method was used to produce biodegradable hydrophilic gelatin nanoparticles (GNP) as a delivery system of protein model (BSA). The size and shape of the nanoparticles were examined by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS Particles with a mean diameter of 200-300 nm were produced and the percentage of entrapment efficiency was found to be 87.4. The optimum amount of theoretical BSA loading was obtained, the release of BSA was monitored in vitro, and the mechanism of release was studied. The BSA release profile showed a biphasic modulation characterized by an initial, relatively rapid release period, followed by a slower release phase. CONCLUSION Results show that the two-step desolvation is an appropriate method for preparing GNP as a delivery vehicle for BSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The principle objective of this study was to develop 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine (PS)-coated gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) bearing amphotericin B (AmB) for specific targeting to the macrophages involved in visceral leishmaniasis (VL). METHOD The two-step desolvation method has been used for the preparation of GNPs with AmB, which was further coated with PS (PS-AmB-GNPs). The targeting potential of it was compared with uncoated AmB-loaded GNPs (AmB-GNPs) for in vitro and in vivo macrophage uptake. RESULTS The results of flow cytometric data revealed enhanced uptake of PS-AmB-GNPs in J774A.1 macrophage cell lines compared with AmB-GNPs. In vivo organ distribution studies in Wistar rats demonstrated a significantly higher extent of accumulation of PS-AmB-GNPs compared with AmB-GNPs in macrophage-rich organs, particularly in liver and spleen. The in vivo anti-leishmanial activity of plain AmB, AmB-GNPs and PS-AmB-GNPs was tested against VL in Leishmania donovani-infected hamsters. Highly significant anti-leishmanial activity (p < 0.05 compared with AmB-GNPs) was observed with PS-AmB-GNPs, causing 85.3 ± 7.89% inhibition of splenic parasitic burden. AmB-GNPs and plain AmB caused only 71.0 ± 3.87 and 50.5 ± 5.12% parasite inhibitions, respectively, in Leishmania-infected hamsters (p < 0.05 for PS-AmB-GNPs versus plain AmB and AmB-GNPs versus plain AmB). CONCLUSION The objective of the preparation was achieved and high accumulation of AmB in liver and spleen has been found, which resulted in enhanced anti-leishmanial activity.

Abstract
Gelatin is one of the most versatile natural biopolymers widely used in pharmaceutical industries due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, low cost and numerous available active groups for attaching targeting molecules. These advantages led to its application in the synthesis of nanoparticles for drug and gene delivery during the last thirty years. The current article entails a general review of the different preparation techniques of gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs): desolvation, coacervation-phase separation, emulsification-solvent evaporation, reverse phase microemulsion, nanoprecipitation, self-assembly and layer-by-layer coating, from the point of view of the methodological and mechanistic aspects involved. Various crosslinkers used to improve the physicochemical properties of GNPs includintg aldehydes, genipin, carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide, and transglutaminase are reported. An analysis is given of the physicochemical behavior of GNPs including drug loading, release, particle size, zeta-potential, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake and stability. This review also attempts to provide an overview of the major applications of GNPs in drug delivery and gene therapy and their in vivo pharmacological performances, as well as site-specific drug targeting using various ligands modifying the surface of GNPs. Finally, nanocomplexes of gelatin with polymers, lipids or inorganic materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Naturally occurring biomaterials, such as gelatin and carrageenan are known to act as good drug delivering agents. The physical properties of these hydrogels are derived from their pore network. The effect of pore size distribution of hydrogel on the drug delivery process has been studied in this work. Gelatin-carrageenan hydrogel has been characterized using DSC, TGA and SEM. Thermoporometry technique has been used since it offers the measurement to be carried out in native state without drying the sample. Release of quercetin (Q,3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavone), a member of the flavonoids family, which exerts many beneficial health effects has been studied using gelatin-carrageenan hydrogel. The addition of gelatin to carrageenan is found to improve the thermal stability of the gelatin-carrageenan fibers in the composite hydrogels. The in vitro drug release studies have shown that an increase in porosity results in the improved drug release. The tuning of pore size distribution for drug delivery applications using thermoporometry is feasible.

Abstract
Electrospinning was employed to fabricate chitosan microspheres by a single-step encapsulation of proteins without organic solvents. Chitosan in acetic acid was electrospun toward a grounded sodium carbonate solution at various electric potential and feeding rates. Electrospun microspheres became insoluble and solidified in the sodium carbonate solution by neutralization of chitosan acetate. When the freeze-dried microspheres were examined by scanning electron microscopy, the small particle size was obtained at higher voltages. This is explained by the chitosan droplet size at the electrospinning needle was clearly controllable by the electric potential. The recovery yield of chitosan microspheres was dependent on the concentration of chitosan solution due to the viscosity is the major factor affecting formation of chitosan droplet during curling of the electrospinning jets. For protein encapsulation, fluorescently labeled bovine serum albumin (BSA) was codissolved with chitosan in the solution and electrospun. At higher concentration of sodium carbonate solution and longer solidification time in the solution, the encapsulation efficiency of the protein was confirmed to be significantly high. The high encapsulation efficiency was achievable by instant solidification of microspheres and electrostatic interactions between chitosan and BSA. Release profiles of BSA from the microspheres showed that the protein release was faster in acidic solution due to dissolution of chitosan. Reversed-phase chromatography of the released fractions confirmed that exposure of BSA to acidic solution during the electrospinning did not result in structural changes of the encapsulated protein.

Abstract
The aim of the research work was to develop and characterize rifampicin (RIF) loaded gelatin nanoparticulate delivery system for the effective management of tuberculosis. Gelatin nanoparticles (GPs) containing RIF were prepared using two-step desolvation method. Formulations were characterized through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), size and size distribution analysis, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, percent drug entrapment, percent nanoparticulate yield and in vitro drug release. Formulations were further characterized for in vitro cytotoxicity, in vivo biodistribution, and antitubercular activity. The nanoparticles were found to be spherical in shape. The size of nanoparticles was found to be 264+/-11.2 nm with low PDI suggesting the narrow particle size distribution. The drug release showed the biphasic pattern of release i.e. initial burst followed by a sustained release pattern. The cytotoxicity studies revealed that nanoparticles are safe, non toxic as compared to free drug. In vivo biodistribution study showed higher localization of RIF loaded GPs in various organs, as compared to plain RIF solution in PBS (pH 7.4). In contrast to free drug, the nanoparticles not only sustained the plasma level but also enhanced the AUC and mean residence time (MRT) of the drug, suggesting improved pharmacokinetics of drug. RIF GPs additionally resulted in significant reduction in bacterial counts in the lungs and spleen of TB-infected mice. Hence, GPs hold promising potential for increasing drug targetability vis a vis reducing dosing frequency with the interception of minimal side effects, for efficient management of tuberculosis.

Abstract
Electrospinning using natural proteins or synthetic polymers is a promising technique for the fabrication of fibrous scaffolds for various tissue engineering applications. However, one limitation of scaffolds electrospun from natural proteins is the need to cross-link with glutaraldehyde for stability, which has been postulated to lead to many complications in vivo including graft failure. In this study, we determined the characteristics of hybrid scaffolds composed of natural proteins including collagen and elastin, as well as gelatin, and the synthetic polymer poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), so to avoid chemical cross-linking. Fiber size increased proportionally with increasing protein and polymer concentrations, whereas pore size decreased. Electrospun gelatin/PCL scaffolds showed a higher tensile strength when compared to collagen/elastin/PCL constructs. To determine the effects of pore size on cell attachment and migration, both hybrid scaffolds were seeded with adipose-derived stem cells. Scanning electron microscopy and nuclei staining of cell-seeded scaffolds demonstrated the complete cell attachment to the surfaces of both hybrid scaffolds, although cell migration into the scaffold was predominantly seen in the gelatin/PCL hybrid. The combination of natural proteins and synthetic polymers to create electrospun fibrous structures resulted in scaffolds with favorable mechanical and biological properties.
