Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an emergent threat to global health due to antibiotic abuse, overuse and misuse, necessitating urgent innovative and sustainable solutions. The utilization of bio-nanomaterials as antibiotic allies is a green, economic, sustainable and renewable strategy to combat this pressing issue. These biomaterials involve green precursors (e.g. biowaste, plant extracts, essential oil, microbes, and agricultural residue) and techniques for their fabrication, which reduce their cyto/environmental toxicity and exhibit economic manufacturing, enabling a waste-to-wealth circular economy module. Their nanoscale dimensions with augmented biocompatibility characterize bio-nanomaterials and offer distinctive advantages in addressing AMR. Their ability to target pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, at the molecular level, coupled with their diverse functionalities and bio-functionality doping from natural precursors, allows for a multifaceted approach to combat resistance. Furthermore, bio-nanomaterials can be tailored to enhance the efficacy of existing antimicrobial agents or deliver novel therapies, presenting a versatile platform for innovation. Their use in combination with traditional antibiotics can mitigate resistance mechanisms, prolong the effectiveness of existing treatments, and reduce side effects. This review aims to shed light on the potential of bio-nanomaterials in countering AMR, related mechanisms, and their applications in various domains. These roles encompass co-therapy, nanoencapsulation, and antimicrobial stewardship, each offering a distinct avenue for overcoming AMR. Besides, it addresses the challenges associated with bio-nanomaterials, emphasizing the importance of regulatory considerations. These green biomaterials are the near future of One Health Care, which will have economic, non-polluting, non-toxic, anti-resistant, biocompatible, degradable, and repurposable avenues, contributing to sustainable development goals.

Abstract
The deposition of thin films plays a crucial role in surface engineering, tailoring structural modifications, and functionalization across diverse applications. Layer-by-layer self-assembly, a prominent thin-film deposition method, has witnessed substantial growth since its mid-20th-century inception, driven by the discovery of eligible materials and innovative assembly technologies. Of these materials, micro- and nanoscopic substrates have received far less interest than their macroscopic counterparts; however, this is changing. The catalogue of eligible materials, including nanoparticles, quantum dots, polymers, proteins, cells and liposomes, along with some well-established layer-by-layer technologies, have combined to unlock impactful applications in biomedicine, as well as other areas like food fortification, and water remediation. To access these fields, several well-established technologies have been used, including tangential flow filtration, fluidized bed, atomization, electrophoretic assembly, and dielectrophoresis. Despite the invention of these technologies, the field of particle layer-by-layer still requires further technological development to achieve a high-yield, automatable, and industrially ready process, a requirement for the diverse, reactionary field of biomedicine and high-throughput pharmaceutical industry. This review provides a background on layer-by-layer, focusing on how its constituent building blocks and bonding mechanisms enable unmatched versatility. The discussion then extends to established and recent technologies employed for coating micro- and nanoscopic matter, evaluating their drawbacks and advantages, and highlighting promising areas in microfluidic approaches, where one distinctly auspicious technology emerges, acoustofluidics. The review also explores the potential and demonstrated application of acoustofluidics in layer-by-layer technology, as well as analyzing existing acoustofluidic technologies beyond LbL coating in areas such as cell trapping, cell sorting, and multidimensional particle manipulation. Finally, the review concludes with future perspectives on layer-by-layer nanoparticle coating and the potential impact of integrating acoustofluidic methods.

Abstract
Encapsulation of single cells is a powerful technique used in various fields, such as regenerative medicine, drug delivery, tissue regeneration, cell-based therapies, and biotechnology. It offers a method to protect cells by providing cytocompatible coatings to strengthen cells against mechanical and environmental perturbations. Silk fibroin, derived from the silkworm Bombyx mori, is a promising protein biomaterial for cell encapsulation due to the cytocompatibility and capacity to maintain cell functionality. Here, THP-1 cells, a human leukemia monocytic cell line, were encapsulated with chemically modified silk polyelectrolytes through electrostatic layer-by-layer deposition. The effectiveness of the silk nanocoating was assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal microscopy and on cell viability and proliferation by Alamar Blue assay and live/dead staining. An analysis of the mechanical properties of the encapsulated cells was conducted using atomic force microscopy nanoindentation to measure elasticity maps and cellular stiffness. After the cells were encapsulated in silk, an increase in their stiffness was observed. Based on this observation, we developed a mechanical predictive model to estimate the variations in stiffness in relation to the thickness of the coating. By tuning the cellular assembly and biomechanics, these encapsulations promote systems that protect cells during biomaterial deposition or processing in general.

Abstract
The recent emergence of nanomedicine has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape and necessitated the creation of more sophisticated drug delivery systems. Polymeric nanoparticles sit at the forefront of numerous promising drug delivery designs, due to their unmatched control over physiochemical properties such as size, shape, architecture, charge, and surface functionality. Furthermore, polymeric nanoparticles have the ability to navigate various biological barriers to precisely target specific sites within the body, encapsulate a diverse range of therapeutic cargo and efficiently release this cargo in response to internal and external stimuli. However, despite these remarkable advantages, the presence of polymeric nanoparticles in wider clinical application is minimal. This review will provide a comprehensive understanding of polymeric nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles. The biological barriers affecting drug delivery will be outlined first, followed by a comprehensive description of the various nanoparticle designs and preparation methods, beginning with the polymers on which they are based. The review will meticulously explore the current performance of polymeric nanoparticles against a myriad of diseases including cancer, viral and bacterial infections, before finally evaluating the advantages and crucial challenges that will determine their wider clinical potential in the decades to come.

Abstract
Surfaces with biological functionalities are of great interest for biomaterials, tissue engineering, biophysics, and for controlling biological processes. The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a highly versatile methodology introduced 30 years ago, which consists of assembling complementary polyelectrolytes or biomolecules in a stepwise manner to form thin self-assembled films. In view of its simplicity, compatibility with biological molecules, and adaptability to any kind of supporting material carrier, this technology has undergone major developments over the past decades. Specific applications have emerged in different biomedical fields owing to the possibility to load or immobilize biomolecules with preserved bioactivity, to use an extremely broad range of biomolecules and supporting carriers, and to modify the film's mechanical properties via crosslinking. In this review, the focus is on the recent developments regarding LbL films formed as 2D or 3D objects for applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering. Possible applications in the fields of vaccinology, 3D biomimetic tissue models, as well as bone and cardiovascular tissue engineering are highlighted. In addition, the most recent technological developments in the field of film construction, such as high-content liquid handling or machine learning, which are expected to open new perspectives in the future developments of LbL, are presented.

Abstract
Employing living cells as carriers to transport transition metal-based catalysts for target-specific bio-orthogonal catalysis represents a cutting-edge approach in advancing precision biomedical applications. One of the initial hurdles in this endeavor involves effectively attaching the catalysts to the carrier cells while preserving the cells' innate ability to interact with biological systems and maintaining the unaltered catalytic activity. In this study, we have developed an innovative layer-by-layer method that leverages a noncovalent interaction between cucurbit[7]uril and adamantane as the primary driving force for crafting polymeric nanostructures on the surfaces of these carrier cells. The strong binding affinity between the host-guest pair ensures the creation of a durable polymer coating on the cell surfaces. Meanwhile, the layer-by-layer process offers high adaptability, facilitating the efficient loading of bio-orthogonal catalysts onto cell surfaces. Importantly, the polymeric coating shows no discernible impact on the cells' physiological characteristics, including their tropism, migration, and differentiation, while preserving the effectiveness of the bio-orthogonal catalysts.

Abstract
It is essential to design a multifunctional well-controlled platform to transfer mechanical cues to the cells in different magnitudes. This study introduces a platform, a miniaturized bioreactor, which enables to study the effect of shear stress in microsized compartmentalized structures. In this system, the well-established cell encapsulation system of liquefied capsules (LCs) is used as microbioreactors in which the encapsulated cells are exposed to variable core viscosities to experience different mechanical forces under a 3D dynamic culture. The LC technology is joined with electrospraying to produce such microbioreactors at high rates, thus allowing the application of microcapsules for high-throughput screening. Using this platform for osteogenic differentiation as an example, shows that microbioreactors with higher core viscosity which produce higher shear stress lead to significantly higher osteogenic characteristics. Moreover, in this system the forces experienced by cells in each LC are simulated by computational modeling. The maximum wall shear stress applied to the cells inside the bioreactor with low, and high core viscosity environment is estimated to be 297 and 1367 mPa, respectively, for the experimental setup employed. This work outlines the potential of LC microbioreactors as a reliable in vitro customizable platform with a wide range of applications.

A redox-reactive delivery system via neural stem cell nanoencapsulation enhances white matter regeneration in intracerebral hemorrhage mice. Bioeng Transl Med 2023; 8:e10451. [PMID: 36925711 PMCID: PMC10013746 DOI: 10.1002/btm2.10451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) poses a great threat to human health because of its high mortality and morbidity. Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation is promising for treating white matter injury following ICH to promote functional recovery. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced NSC apoptosis and uncontrolled differentiation hindered the effectiveness of the therapy. Herein, we developed a single-cell nanogel system by layer-by-layer (LbL) hydrogen bonding of gelatin and tannic acid (TA), which was modified with a boronic ester-based compound linking triiodothyronine (T3). In vitro, NSCs in nanogel were protected from ROS-induced apoptosis, with apoptotic signaling pathways downregulated. This process of ROS elimination by material shell synergistically triggered T3 release to induce NSC differentiation into oligodendrocytes. Furthermore, in animal studies, ICH mice receiving nanogels performed better in behavioral evaluation, neurological scaling, and open field tests. These animals exhibited enhanced differentiation of NSCs into oligodendrocytes and promoted white matter tract regeneration on Day 21 through activation of the αvβ3/PI3K/THRA pathway. Consequently, transplantation of LbL(T3) nanogels largely resolved two obstacles in NSC therapy synergistically: low survival and uncontrolled differentiation, enhancing white matter regeneration and behavioral performance of ICH mice. As expected, nanoencapsulation with synergistic effects would efficiently provide hosts with various biological benefits and minimize the difficulty in material fabrication, inspiring next-generation material design for tackling complicated pathological conditions.

Chitosan-Based Biomaterials: Insights into Chemistry, Properties, Devices, and Their Biomedical Applications. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:md21030147. [PMID: 36976196 PMCID: PMC10059909 DOI: 10.3390/md21030147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitosan is a marine-origin polysaccharide obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the main component of crustaceans’ exoskeleton, and the second most abundant in nature. Although this biopolymer has received limited attention for several decades right after its discovery, since the new millennium chitosan has emerged owing to its physicochemical, structural and biological properties, multifunctionalities and applications in several sectors. This review aims at providing an overview of chitosan properties, chemical functionalization, and the innovative biomaterials obtained thereof. Firstly, the chemical functionalization of chitosan backbone in the amino and hydroxyl groups will be addressed. Then, the review will focus on the bottom-up strategies to process a wide array of chitosan-based biomaterials. In particular, the preparation of chitosan-based hydrogels, organic–inorganic hybrids, layer-by-layer assemblies, (bio)inks and their use in the biomedical field will be covered aiming to elucidate and inspire the community to keep on exploring the unique features and properties imparted by chitosan to develop advanced biomedical devices. Given the wide body of literature that has appeared in past years, this review is far from being exhaustive. Selected works in the last 10 years will be considered.

Gopalakrishnan A, Mathew J, Thomas JM, Thankachan G, Aravindakumar CT, Aravind UK. Spectro-kinetic investigations on the release mechanism of lysozyme from layer-by-layer reservoirs. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 222:113135. [PMID: 36640537 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
The investigations of protein adsorption and release on interfaces aid in the elucidation of the protein-surface interaction mechanism, which has several applications in the biomedical area. The spectro-kinetic and morphological analysis of the release of lysozyme (Lyz) from chitosan/polystyrene sulphonate (CHI/PSS) multilayer immobilized at pHs 10.6, 8.8 and 5.0 shows that the extent of release strongly depends on the pH of Lyz loading and the ionic strength of the desorbing solution. When compared to pH 8.8, the release for pH 10.6 achieves equilibrium more rapidly. At loading pH 10.6, the release is surface-mediated, at pH 8.8, it is both surface- and bulk-mediated, while at pH 5.0 it is bulk mediated with minimal release. Lyz released for loading pH 10.6 retains its native secondary structure. Kinetic fitting suggests that high loading pH 8.8-10.6 and high release ionic strength (0.5-1.0 M NaCl) lead to burst release of Lyz from CHI/PSS multilayer. Surface morphology changes of multilayer interface upon Lyz loading and release are highlighted by SEM topography and AFM height distribution analysis. The present work indicates that CHI/PSS multilayer system can function as a reservoir for burst as well as controlled release of lysozyme by selecting the loading pH and ionic strength.
