Osteosarcoma (OS) represents one of the most common primary bone cancers affecting children and young adults. The available treatments have remained unimproved for the past decades, hampered by the poor knowledge of OS etiology/pathophysiology and the lack of innovative, predictive and biologically relevant in vitro models, that can recapitulate the 3D OS tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we report the development and characterization of an innovative 3D model of OS, composed of OS tumor cells, immune cells (macrophages) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), that formed a multicellular tissue spheroid (MCTS). This fully humanized 3D model was shown to accurately mimic the native histological features of OS, while innately leading to the polarization of macrophages towards an M2-like phenotype, highly aggressive and pro-tumor profile. Upon the exposure to immunomodulatory molecules, the MCTS were shown to be responsive by shifting macrophages polarization, and dramatically altering the TME secretome. In agreement, when treated with immunomodulatory/stimulatory nanoparticles (NPSs), we were able to revert the TME secretome towards an anti-inflammatory profile. This study establishes an advanced 3D OS model capable of shedding light on macrophages and MSCs contributions to disease progression, paving the way for the development of innovative therapeutic approaches targeting the OS TME, while providing a biologically relevant in vitro tool for the efficacy screening of novel OS therapeutic approaches.
骨肉瘤(Osteosarcoma,OS)是儿童和年轻人最常见的原发性骨癌之一。由于对骨肉瘤的病因学/病理生理学知之甚少,以及缺乏可再现三维骨肉瘤肿瘤微环境(TME)的创新性、预测性和生物相关性体外模型,现有的治疗方法在过去几十年中一直没有得到改善。在此,我们报告了由 OS 肿瘤细胞、免疫细胞(巨噬细胞)和间充质干细胞(间充质干细胞)组成的 OS 创新三维模型的开发和特征描述,该模型形成了一个多细胞组织球体(MCTS)。研究表明,这种完全人源化的三维模型能准确模拟 OS 的原生组织学特征,同时导致巨噬细胞向 M2 样表型极化,具有高度侵袭性和促肿瘤特征。在暴露于免疫调节分子后,MCTS 通过改变巨噬细胞的极化和显著改变 TME 分泌组而显示出反应能力。同样,当使用免疫调节/刺激性纳米颗粒(NPSs)治疗时,我们能够将TME分泌组恢复到抗炎状态。这项研究建立了一种先进的三维 OS 模型,能够揭示巨噬细胞和间充质干细胞对疾病进展的影响,为开发针对 OS TME 的创新治疗方法铺平了道路,同时也为新型 OS 治疗方法的疗效筛选提供了一种生物相关的体外工具。

Antibacterial hydrogels have generated significant interest for their potential therapeutic applications. Ozone (O₃) is recognized for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-hypoxic properties, along with its minimal residual impact. However, the development of sustained O₃-release antibacterial hydrogels has been challenging due to the low solubility and short lifespan of ozone. We present an ozone-loaded emulsion hydrogel (ozonegel), which encapsulates ozonized oil within a nanoclay-poly(methacryloxyethyl sulfobetaine) supramolecular network. This adhesive, self-healing ozonegel achieves high ozone loading (91.3 mmol/kg) and releases O₃ and reactive oxygen species (ROS) over 36 h. It demonstrates broad antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, promoting wound healing. The remarkable properties of ozonegels suggest significant potential for advanced biomedical applications.

Brain diseases are a significant threat to human health, especially in the elderly, and this problem is growing as the aging population increases. Efficient brain-targeted drug delivery has been the greatest challenge in treating brain disorders due to the unique immune environment of the brain, including the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Recently, cerebral biomimetic nano-drug delivery systems (CBNDSs) have provided a promising strategy for brain targeting by mimicking natural biological materials. Herein, this review explores the latest understanding of the immune microenvironment of the brain, emphasizing the immune mechanisms of the occurrence and progression of brain disease. Several brain targeting systems are summarized, including cell-based, exosome-based, protein-based, and microbe-based CBNDSs, and their immunological mechanisms are highlighted. Moreover, given the rise of immunotherapy, the latest applications of CBNDSs in immunotherapy are also discussed. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of CBNDSs and serves as a guideline for immunotherapy in treating brain diseases. In addition, it provides inspiration for the future of CBNDSs.

Death Receptor 5 (DR5) targeted therapies offer significant promise due to their pivotal role in mediating the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Despite DR5 overexpression in various malignancies and the potential of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), clinical applications of anti-DR5 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been hampered by suboptimal outcomes potentially due to lack of receptor clustering.
To address the limitation, we developed N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-based conjugates integrating multiple copies of DR5-targeting peptide (cyclic WDCLDNRIGRRQCVKL; cDR5) to enhance receptor clustering and apoptosis. Three conjugates with variable number of cDR5 were prepared and denoted as PH-cDR5 (high valence), PM-cDR5 (medium valence) and PL-cDR5 (low valence). Our studies in TRAIL-sensitive and resistant cancer cell lines demonstrated that the HPMA copolymer-peptide conjugates (P-cDR5) significantly improved DR5 receptor clustering and induced apoptosis effectively. In TRAIL-sensitive colon cancer cells (COLO205, HCT-116), P-cDR5 showed efficacy comparable to anti-DR5 mAb Drozitumab (DRO), but P-cDR5 outperformed DRO in TRAIL-resistant cells (HT-29), highlighting the importance of efficient receptor clustering. In COLO205 cells PM-cDR5 exhibited an IC50 of 94 pM, while PH-cDR5 had an even lower IC50 of 15 pM (based on cDR5 equivalent concentration), indicating enhanced potency of the multivalent HPMA copolymer-based system with a flexible polymer backbone in comparison with the IC50 for TRAIL at 0.12 nM. Combining P-cDR5 with valproic acid, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, resulted in further enhancement of apoptosis inducing efficacy, along with destabilizing mitochondrial membranes and increased sensitivity of TRAIL-resistant cells. These findings suggest that attaching multiple cDR5 peptides to a flexible water-soluble polymer carrier not only overcomes the limitations of previous designs but also offers a promising avenue for treating resistant cancers, pointing toward the need for further preclinical exploration and validation of this innovative strategy.

Drug delivery systems efficiently and safely administer therapeutic agents to specific body sites. Liposomes, spherical vesicles made of phospholipid bilayers, have become a powerful tool in this field, especially with the rise of microfluidic manufacturing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite its efficiency, microfluidic liposomal production poses challenges, often requiring laborious, optimization on a case-by-case basis. This is due to a lack of comprehensive understanding and robust methodologies, compounded by limited data on microfluidic production with varying lipids. Artificial intelligence offers promise in predicting lipid behaviour during microfluidic production, with the still unexploited potential of streamlining development. Herein we employ machine learning to predict critical quality attributes and process parameters for microfluidic-based liposome production. Validated models predict liposome formation, size, and production parameters, significantly advancing our understanding of lipid behaviour. Extensive model analysis enhanced interpretability and investigated underlying mechanisms, supporting the transition to microfluidic production. Unlocking the potential of machine learning in drug development can accelerate pharmaceutical innovation, making drug delivery systems more adaptable and accessible.

Nanozymes, known for their high efficiency in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), have received significant attention in promoting the healing of infected wounds. Herein, we reported a novel multifunctional PDA-PtCuTe nanozyme with excellent ROS scavenging, antibacterial, pro-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulatory properties. It was loaded onto microneedles (PTPP-MN) for treating infected wounds. In vitro experiments demonstrated its ability to scavenge ROS and exhibit antioxidant properties. Compared to PT-MN (11.03 ± 3.37 %) and PTP-MN (42.30 ± 2.60 %), the ROS scavenging rate of PTPP-MN reached 63.63 ± 4.42 %. The microneedle exhibits good biocompatibility, stimulating fibroblast migration, endothelial angiogenesis, and M2 macrophage polarization. Additionally, it effectively eliminates ROS and provides antioxidant effects while inhibiting the viability of S. aureus and E. coli. Animal experiments showed that the PTPP-MN group achieved near-complete re-epithelialization by the third day compared to other groups. Histological observations revealed that the PTPP-MN group exhibited enhanced granulation tissue formation, epithelial regeneration, and angiogenesis. After PTPP-MN treatment, the local immune response shifted from a pro-inflammatory state to a pro-regenerative state. Our results indicate that PTPP-MN holds great promise for infected wound healing with reduced scar formation.

Wound healing is often impaired in patients with diabetes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSCs-derived nanovesicles (MNVs) hold promise as therapeutic agents for managing diabetic wounds. However, efficient delivery and controlled release of MNVs within these wounds are essential for maximizing therapeutic effectiveness. In this study, we developed a dual-responsive hydrogel designed to respond to elevated levels of glucose and reactive oxygen species. This hydrogel combines polyvinyl alcohol with phenylboronic acid-grafted chitosan, referred to as PBA-CP, while MNVs were produced by shearing MSCs through membranes with varying pore sizes. The composite PBA-CP/MNVs hydrogel significantly accelerated wound healing in a diabetic wound model by promoting epithelialization, dermal reconstruction, hair follicle formation, and angiogenesis. MNVs were readily taken up by keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, stimulating their proliferation and migration. Altogether, the chitosan-based PBA-CP/MNVs composite hydrogel presents a promising therapeutic strategy for diabetic wound treatment.

Infection by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria has become one of the biggest threats to public health worldwide. One reason for the difficulty in treatment is the lack of proper delivery strategies into MDR bacterial biofilms, where the thick extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) layer impedes the penetration of antibiotics and nanoparticles. Here, we propose a novel bioactive nanoconjugate of drug-loaded liposomes and bacteriophages for targeted eradication of the MDR biofilms in orthopedic infections. Phage Sb-1, which has the ability to degrade EPS, was conjugated with antibiotic-loaded liposomes. Upon encountering the biofilm, phage Sb-1 degrades the EPS structure, thereby increasing the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics and allowing the antibiotics to penetrate deeply into the biofilm. As a result, effective removal of MDR bacterial biofilm was achieved with low dose of antibiotics, which was proved in this study by both in vitro and in vivo investigations. Notably, in the rat prosthetic joint infection (PJI) model, we found that the liposome-phage nanoconjugates could effectively decrease the bacterial load in the infected area and significantly promote osteomyelitis recovery. It is therefore believed that the conjugation of bacteriophage and liposomes could open new possibilities for the treatment of orthopedic infections, possibly other infections in the deep tissues.

In clinical settings, cancer frequently coexists with multi-system diseases. Owing to compromised immune systems, patients with cancer exhibit an increased susceptibility to infections and inflammation. Notably, lung inflammation occurs with high incidence among these patients. Furthermore, the inflammatory milieu within the lungs often accelerates the metastasis of cancer, thereby enhancing mortality rates and posing substantial challenges for clinical management. To date, effective strategies addressing both lung inflammation and cancer concurrently are lacking. In this context, we introduce a novel therapeutic approach involving a sialic acid-lipid derivative (SA-PG10-C18) modified doxorubicin-curcumin co-loaded liposome (DOX/CUR-SAL). This formulation effectively targeted activated neutrophils, which are abundantly present in inflammatory and metastatic lung tissues. DOX/CUR-SAL notably inhibited neutrophil-mediated pro-inflammatory and pro-metastatic processes. Utilizing a newly established mouse model of acute lung injury (ALI) and metastasis comorbidity, DOX/CUR-SAL modulated the lung immune microenvironment and arrested the progression of both inflammation and metastasis, without inducing side effects. The treated animals demonstrated favorable survival conditions, persisting beyond 45 days. This innovative therapeutic strategy offers a novel concept and reference for treating comorbid conditions of tumors and inflammation, thus breaking the clinical impasse where lung inflammation and cancer metastasis have been treated separately.

Influenza infections are a health public problem worldwide every year with the potential to become the next pandemic. Vaccination is the most effective strategy to prevent future influenza outbreaks, however, influenza vaccines need to be reformulated each year to provide protection due to viral antigenic drift and shift. As more efficient influenza vaccines are needed, it is relevant to recapitulate strategies to improve the immunogenicity and broad reactivity of the current vaccines. Here, we review the current approved vaccines in the U.S. market and the platform used for their production. We discuss the different approaches to develop a broadly reactive vaccine as well as reviewing the adjuvant systems that are under study for being potentially included in future influenza vaccine formulations. The main components of the immune system involved in achieving a protective immune response are reviewed and how they participate in the trafficking of particles systemically and in the mucosa. Finally, we describe and classify, according to their physicochemical properties, some of the potential micro and nano-particulate platforms that can be used as delivery systems for parenteral and mucosal vaccinations.
