Abstract
Atherosclerotic plaques exhibit high cholesterol deposition and oxidative stress resulting from high reactive oxygen species (ROS). These are the major components in plaques and the main pro-inflammatory factor. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an effective therapeutic strategy that can simultaneously address the multiple pro-inflammatory factors via removing cholesterol and inhibiting the overaccumulated ROS. In this study, we constructed macrophage membrane-encapsulated biomimetic nanoparticles (MM@DA-pCD@MTX), which not only alleviate cholesterol deposition at the plaque lesion via reverse cholesterol transport but also scavenge the overaccumulated ROS. β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and the loaded methotrexate (MTX) act synergistically to induce cholesterol efflux for inhibiting the formation of foam cells. Among them, MTX up-regulated the expression of ABCA1, CYP27A1, and SR-B1. β-CD increased the solubility of cholesterol crystals. In addition, the ROS scavenging property of dopamine (DA) was perfectly preserved in MM@DA-pCD@MTX, which could scavenge the overaccumulated ROS to alleviate the oxidative stress at the plaque lesion. Last but not least, MM-functionalized "homing" targeting of atherosclerotic plaques not only enables the targeted drug delivery but also prolongs in vivo circulation time and drug half-life. In summary, MM@DA-pCD@MTX emerges as a potent, multifunctional therapeutic platform for AS treatment, offering a high degree of biosafety and efficacy in addressing the complex pathophysiology of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
A disorder of cholesterol homeostasis is one of the main initiating factors in the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Metabolism and removal of excess cholesterol facilitates the prevention of foam cell formation. However, the failure of treatment with drugs (e.g. methotrexate, MTX) to effectively regulate progression of disease may be related to the limited drug bioavailability and rapid clearance by immune system. Thus, based on the inflammatory lesion "recruitment" properties of macrophages, MTX nanoparticles (MTX NPs) camouflaged with macrophage membranes (MM@MTX NPs) were constructed for the target to AS plaques. MM@MTX NPs exhibited a uniform hydrodynamic size around ~ 360 nm and controlled drug release properties (~ 72% at 12 h). After the macrophage membranes (MM) functionalized "homing" target delivery to AS plaques, MM@MTX NPs improved the solubility of cholesterol by the functionalized β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) component and significantly elevate cholesterol efflux by the loaded MTX mediated the increased expression levels of ABCA1, SR-B1, CYP27A1, resulting in efficiently inhibiting the formation of foam cells. Furthermore, MM@MTX NPs could significantly reduce the area of plaque, aortic plaque and cholesterol crystals deposition in ApoE-/- mice and exhibited biocompatibility. It is suggested that MM@MTX NPs were a safe and efficient therapeutic platform for AS.

Abstract
Herein, a novel molecule S4, which could form a uniform S4 spherical aggregate in water, was synthesized, and the S4 aggregate was used to load Dox to prepare the S4@Dox nanomedicine. The loading efficiency was 80.0 ± 4.5%. The pH response and slow release of Dox were the typical characteristics of the S4@Dox nanomedicine. In vitro experiments showed that cancer cells could successfully phagocytose S4 aggregates and the S4@Dox nanomedicine. The toxicity of S4 aggregates to MCF-7, HepG2, and H22 cells was low, and the S4@Dox nanomedicine had better antitumor activity and specific targeting, especially to the MCF-7 cells. The antitumor activity in vivo and in the tissue section showed that the S4@Dox nanomedicine could significantly reduce Dox toxicity, effectively induce the apoptosis of cancer cells, and effectively inhibit tumor growth, which showed that the nanomedicine had better antitumor activity.

Abstract
Cancer is still one of the world’s deadliest health concerns. As per latest statistics, lung, breast, liver, prostate, and cervical cancers are reported topmost worldwide. Although chemotherapy is most widely used methodology to treat cancer, poor pharmacokinetic parameters of anticancer drugs render them less effective. Novel nano-drug delivery systems have the caliber to improve the solubility and biocompatibility of various such chemical compounds. In this regard, cyclodextrins (CD), a group of natural nano-oligosaccharide possessing unique physicochemical characteristics has been highly exploited for drug delivery and other pharmaceutical purposes. Their cup-like structure and amphiphilic nature allows better accumulation of drugs, improved solubility, and stability, whereas CDs supramolecular chemical compatibility renders it to be highly receptive to various kinds of functionalization. Therefore combining physical, chemical, and bio-engineering approaches at nanoscale to specifically target the tumor cells can help in maximizing the tumor damage without harming non-malignant cells. Numerous combinations of CD nanocomposites were developed over the years, which employed photodynamic, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, and hyperthermia methods, particularly targeting cancer cells. In this review, we discuss the vivid roles of cyclodextrin nanocomposites developed for the treatment and theranostics of most important cancers to highlight its clinical significance and potential as a medical tool.

Abstract
This manuscript aims to provide the latest update on polymeric nanoparticle drug delivery system for breast cancer treatment after 2015 and how research-oriented it is based on the available research data. Therefore, the authors have chosen breast cancer which is the most frequent and common reason for mortality in women worldwide. The first-line treatment for breast cancer treatment is chemotherapy, apart from surgery, radiation and hormonal therapy. Chemotherapy is associated with lesser therapeutics and undesirable side effects and hence. In addition, drug resistance affects the therapeutic dose to the target site. Although various nano-based formulations have been developed for effective treatment, the polymeric nanoparticles effectively avoid the lacunae of conventional chemotherapy. There has been an effort made to understand the chemotherapy drugs and their conventional formulation-related problems for better targeting and effective drug delivery for breast cancer treatment. Thus, the polymeric nanoparticles as a strategy overcome the associated problems with resulting dose reduction, enhanced bioavailability, reduced side effects, etc. This present review has compiled the research reports published from 2015 to 2021 from different databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, which are related to breast cancer treatment in which the drug delivery of numerous chemotherapeutic agents alone or in combination, including phytoconstituents formulated into various polymer-based nanoparticles.

Abstract
Adjuvant-aided combination chemotherapy is one of the most effective ways of cancer treatment by overcoming the multidrug resistance (MDR) and reducing the side-effects of anticancer drugs. In this study, Conferone (Conf) was used as an adjuvant in combination with Doxorubicin (Dox) for inducing apoptosis to MDA-MB-231 cells. Herein, the novel biodegradable amphiphilic β-cyclodextrin grafted poly maleate-co-PLGA was synthesized by thiol-ene addition and ring-opening process. Micelles obtained from the novel copolymer showed exceptional properties such as small size of around 34.5 nm, CMC of 0.1 μg/mL, and cell internalization of around 100% at 30 min. These novel engineered micelles were used for combination delivery of doxorubicin-conferone with high encapsulation efficiency of near 100% for both drugs. Our results show that combination delivery of Dox and Conf to MDA-MB-231 cells had synergistic effects (CI < 1). According to cell cycle and Annexin-V apoptosis analysis, Dox-Conf loaded micelle significantly induce tumor cell apoptosis (more than 98% of cells population showed apoptosis at IC50 = 0.259 μg/mL). RT-PCR and western-blot tests show that Dox-Conf loaded βCD-g-PMA-co-PLGA micelle induced apoptosis via intrinsic pathway. Therefore, the unique design of multi-functional pH-sensitive micelles open a new perspective for the development of nanomedicine for combination chemo-adjuvant therapy against malignant cancer.

Abstract
The main aim of the current research was to develop a modified cyclodextrin based nanoparticulate drug delivery system to deliver dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). DSP is a glucocorticoid (GC), and its limited application in RA therapy due to poor pharmacokinetics and its severe associated side effects. DSP loaded hydrophobically modified cyclodextrin based nanoparticles (DSP-NPs) prepared by a double emulsion solvent evaporation method. The nanoparticle size was <120 nm, good entrapment efficiency and excellent stability were obtained. TEM study showed that nanoparticles were perfectly spherical shape. The in-vitro drug release from nanoparticle follows the non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. The pharmacokinetic profile of DSP after encapsulation showing the 2.3-fold increase in AUC and extended mean residence time, which increases the chances of nanoparticles to extravasate into the site of inflammation by the EPR effect. The pharmacodynamic studies in the Adjuvant-induced Arthritis (AIA) rat model showing a significant reduction in arthritic score, paw thickness, and inflammatory cytokine level in serum. Adverse effects evaluation studies demonstrate a significant reduction in the associated undesirable effects on body weight, blood glucose level, renal impairment, and hematological abnormalities compared to marketed formulation. These results suggest that DSP-NPs can be used as an efficient therapy for RA.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist used as an effective drug to treat various kinds of cancers. However, MTX has limited use in cancer chemotherapy due to its adverse effects such as poor bioavailability, low specificity, drug resistance, and dose-dependent side effects. To improve lymphatic delivery and reduce toxicity of MTX, MTX-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared in the present study. NPs were prepared with double emulsion solvent evaporation method using poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). NPs were assessed for size, encapsulation efficiency, morphology, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermal characterization. In vitro release profiles and cytotoxicity of these NPs were also evaluated. Prepared NPs and free MTX were administered orally or intravenously (5 mg/kg as MTX) to rats to evaluate their pharmacokinetic characteristics and lymphatic delivery effects. Mean particle size and encapsulation efficiency of NPs were 163.7 ± 10.25 nm and 93.3 ± 0.5%, respectively. Prepared NPs showed a sustained release profile of MTX in vitro and may be effective to cancer cells. Area under the blood concentration-time curve, total clearance, half-life, and lymphatic targeting efficiency were significantly different (p < 0.05) between prepared NPs and free MTX. These results demonstrate that MTX-loaded PLGA NPs are good candidates for targeted delivery of MTX to the lymphatic system.

Abstract
Polyalthic acid (PA) is a diterpene present in several trees of the Copaifera genus, with reported antitumor activity but poor water solubility. The aim of this work was the incorporation of PA in polymeric nanoparticles and the evaluation of the antiproliferative activity of this formulation in tumor (MCF-7) and normal (MCF-10A) breast cell lines. The nanoparticles were obtained by nanoprecipitation, using poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) as the main material. Scanning electron microscopy showed nanoparticles with semispherical morphology, and dynamic light scattering measures revealed negative surface charge and average size of 98.64 ± 28 nm. The encapsulation efficiency was 98% and the drug loading was 15.6% ± 0.02%. Treatments with PA nanoparticles reduced cell proliferation more efficiently than free PA and the effect was selective on MCF-7 cells. Comet assay revealed a selective DNA damage induction by the nanoformulation on the tumor cells, which probably caused the antiproliferative effect. Our results show that PA incorporated in PLGA nanoparticles has potential as a selective cytostatic and genotoxic agent against MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
For many years, researchers have worked with supramolecular structures involving inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins. These studies have resulted in new commercially available drugs which have been of great benefit. More recently, studies using nanoparticles, including nanosystems containing cyclodextrins, have become a focus of academic research due to the versatility of the systems and their remarkable therapeutic potential. This review focuses on studies published between 2002 and 2018 involving nanosystems containing cyclodextrins. We consider the type of nanosystems, their importance in a health context, the physicochemical techniques used to show the quality of these systems and their potential for the development of novel pharmaceutical formulations. These have been developed in recent studies which have mainly been focusing on basic science with no clinical trials as yet being performed. This is important to note because it means that the studies do not include any toxicity tests. Despite this limitation, the characterization assays performed suggest that these new formulations may have therapeutic potential. However, more research is required to assess the efficacy and safety of these nanosystems.

Abstract
Magnetic ferrite nanoparticles (MNPs) coated with biocompatible polymers capable of drug loading and release are fascinating nanostructures for delivering anti-cancer drugs. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel β-cyclodextrin-folate-tethered dextran polymer. Nickel-zinc ferrite nanoparticles are prepared and coated with the polymer to form a biocompatible hybrid magnetic nanocarrier. To establish the significance of folate unit of the polymer in anticancer activity, a similar derivatized polymer, i.e. β-cyclodextrin-dextran conjugate without folate tether is used for comparison. The size of the hybrid MNPs is ∼20 nm, which is a size suitable for cancer drug targeting. The polymer-coated magnetic nanocarriers are soft ferromagnets as suggested by their narrow magnetic hysteresis loops. The anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT) is loaded on the magnetic nanocarriers. The drug loading efficiency is observed to be above 92%. The nanocarriers show sustained in vitro drug release for above 45 h. The in vitro cytotoxicity studies reveal that the loaded CPT retains its potency in the nanocarrier and the folate-tethered nanocarrier shows better anticancer activity than the one which does not carry a folate unit. The magnetic nanocarrier is suitable for magnetic field-guided drug transport, enhanced drug loading and release and folate receptor-mediated endocytotic uptake of drugs by cancer cells.

Abstract
The tissue engineering field has developed in response to the shortcomings related to the replacement of the tissues lost to disease or trauma: donor tissue rejection, chronic inflammation and donor tissue shortages. The driving force behind the tissue engineering is to avoid the mentioned issues by creating the biological substitutes capable of replacing the damaged tissue. This is done by combining the scaffolds, cells and signals in order to create the living, physiological, three-dimensional tissues. A wide variety of skin substitutes are used in the treatment of full-thickness injuries. Substitutes made from skin can harbour the latent viruses, and artificial skin grafts can heal with the extensive scarring, failing to regenerate structures such as glands, nerves and hair follicles. New and practical skin scaffold materials remain to be developed. The current article describes the important information about wound healing scaffolds. The scaffold types which were used in these fields were classified according to the accepted guideline of the biological medicine. Moreover, the present article gave the brief overview on the fundamentals of the tissue engineering, biodegradable polymer properties and their application in skin wound healing. Also, the present review discusses the type of the tissue engineered skin substitutes and modern wound dressings which promote the wound healing.

Abstract
Targeted entrance and accumulation of higher doses of drugs into malignant cells could help in intensification of tumor specific cytotoxicity. A dual-responsive nanogel, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-poly(N,N-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) [P(NIPAM-co-DMA)] containing N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) as thermoresponsive monomer and N,N-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMA) as pH-responsive monomer and methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) as cross-linking agent, was synthesized by free radical emulsion polymerization. Cisplatin along with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) was loaded into the nanogel by physically embedding the magnetic nanoparticles into hydrogel matrix after gelation to obtain drug-loaded magnetic nanocomposite [P(NIPAM-co-DMA)/Fe3O4]. Drug loading efficiencies and drug release profiles of cisplatin-loaded P(NIPAM-co-DMA) nanogel and P(NIPAM-co-DMA)/Fe3O4 nanocomposite were evaluated in vitro for controlled drug delivery in different temperature and pH conditions. Finally, the anticancer activity of P(NIPAM-co-DMA)/Fe3O4 nanocomposite on human liver HepG2 cells was evaluated. Nanogel and nanocomposite showed significantly higher (p < .05) cisplatin release at 40 °C compared to 37 °C and at pH 5.7 compared to pH 7.4, demonstrating their temperature and pH sensitivity, respectively. The cytotoxicity assay of drug free nanogel on HepG2 cell line indicated that the nanogel is biocompatible and suitable as drug carrier. Moreover, MTT assay revealed that the cisplatin-loaded nanocomposite represented significant superior cytotoxicity (p < .05) to HepG2 cells as compared with free cisplatin.

Abstract
In this study, biodegradable and biocompatible gamma irradiated poly-(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) spray-dried microparticles were prepared aiming to improve the efficacy of methotrexate (MTX). The experimental design included three formulations of microparticles containing distinct drug amount (9%, 18%, and 27% w/w) and three distinct gamma irradiation dose (15kGy, 25kGy, and 30kGy). The physicochemical and drug release properties of the microparticles supported their biocompatibility and biological efficacy studies in different cell lines. The irradiation induced slight changes in the spherical shape of the microparticles and the formation of free radicals was dependent on the drug loading. However, the amorphous character, particle size, drug loading, and drug release rate of the microparticles were preserved. The drug release data from all microparticles formulation were evaluated by using four drug kinetic models and by comparison of their similarity factor (f2). The gamma irradiation did not induce changes in the biocompatibility of PLGA microparticles and in the biological activity of the MTX-loaded microparticles. Finally, the spray-dried MTX-loaded PLGA microparticles enhanced the efficacy of the drug in the human cervical cancer cells (SiHa cell line). This study demonstrated the feasibility of the gamma irradiated spray dried PLGA microparticles for prolonged release of MTX, supporting a promising antitumor-drug delivery system for parenteral (subcutaneous) or pulmonary use.

Abstract
Biocompatible and biodegradable polymers like PLGA have revolutionized the drug delivery approaches. However, poor drug loading and substantially high lipophilicity, pave a path for further tailing of this promising agent. In this regard, PLGA was feathered with biocompatible phospholipid and polymeric micelles were developed for delivery of Methotrexate (MTX) to cancer cells. The nanocarriers (114.6nm±5.5nm) enhanced the cytotoxicity of MTX by 2.13 folds on MDA-MB-231 cells. Confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed the increased intracellular delivery. The carrier decreased the protein binding potential and enhanced the bioavailable fraction of MTX. Pharmacokinetic studies vouched substantial enhancement in AUC and bioresidence time, promising an ideal carrier to effectively deliver the drug to the site of action. The developed nanocarriers offer potential to deliver the drug in the interiors of cancer cells in an effective manner for improved therapeutic action.
