Abstract Active tumor penetration has been recently recognized as a promising strategy to resolve the limitation of nanomedicine in terms penetration, but it is challenging develop active transporting nanocarriers. Here, an ultrasonic cavitation‐assisted and acid‐activatable liposome for broad range tumors reported. The (size charge dual‐conversional gemcitabine prodrug‐integrated liposomal nanodroplet (SCGLN)) overcomes tight blood vessel walls with aid cavitation. SCGLN subsequently transforms from micro‐size nano‐size under prolonged ultrasound radiation. Once acidic microenvironment, nanosized undergoes negative‐to‐positive charge‐reversal triggers cationization‐initiated transcytosis penetrate deep into parenchyma. gemcitabine‐loaded exhibits potent antitumor activity multiple poorly permeable models, which completely erases subcutaneous U251 glioma stops progression orthotopic BxPC3 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This study presents universal penetrating nanomedicines efficient drug delivery low tumor.

Abstract: Exosomes or small extracellular vesicles are considered a new generation of bioinspired-nanoscale drug delivery system (DDS). Endogenous exosomes function as signalosomes since they convey signals via ligands adhesion molecules located on the exosomal membrane, packaged inside exosome. Recently, exosome membrane modification, therapeutic payloads encapsulation, and modulation in vivo disposition have been extensively investigated, among which significant advances made to optimize exosome-mediated solid tumors. Exosomes, specifically tumor cell-derived exosomes, presumed tumor-preferential due homotypic features. However, quality attributes that dictate tissue distribution, cell type-selective uptake, intracellular payload release administered well spatiotemporal information regarding fate vivo, remain be further investigated. This review summarizes recent developing platforms with focus targeting. The pharmacokinetic features naive factors influencing their summarized. Recent strategies improve targeting also reviewed context biological microenvironment (TME). Selected approaches augment deposition methods enhance delivery, summarized emphasis underlying mechanisms (eg, passive active targeting, endosomal escape, etc.). In conclusion, this highlights recently reported tumor-targeting exosome-based it's hope multiple might employed synergistic combination development cancer therapy.

Abstract Ultrasmall nanoparticles are often grouped under the broad umbrella term of “nanoparticles” when reported in literature. However, for biomedical applications, their small sizes give them intimate interactions with biological species and endow unique functional physiochemical properties. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) an emerging class ultrasmall which have demonstrated considerable biocompatibility been employed as potent theragnostic platforms. These particles find application increasing drug solubility targeting, along facilitating passage drugs across impermeable membranes (i.e., blood brain barrier). Further functionality can be triggered by various environmental conditions or external stimuli pH, temperature, near Infrared (NIR) light, ultrasound), intrinsic fluorescence is valuable diagnostic applications. The focus this review to shed light on therapeutic potential CQDs identify how they travel through body, reach site action, administer effect, excreted. Investigation into toxicity compatibility larger nanoparticle carriers also examined. future applications promising due multifunctional attributes documented biocompatibility. As nanomaterial platforms become more commonplace clinical treatments, commercialization CQD therapeutics anticipated.
