Molecular Design and Controlled Self-Assembly of Copolymers as Core-Shell-Corona Nanoparticles for Smarter Tumor Treatment.

Copolymer-based core-shell-corona nanoparticles have attracted more interest for tumor chemotherapy, owing to their unique multifunctionality benefiting from their unique multilevel topological structure in comparison with the conventional core-shell ones. Here, the recent progress in such core-shell-corona nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) in tumor chemotherapy was reviewed, focusing on additive functionality of the shell layer for controlled drug release performance from the viewpoints of the molecular design and controlled self-assembly, such as stimuli-responsive gatekeepers, independent loading of active substances, and so on. Moreover, future perspectives have been prospected for smarter tumor treatment.

Enzymolysis kinetics of corn straw by impeded Michaelis model and Box-Behnken design.

Enzymatic hydrolysis is an essential step in the lignocellulosic biorefining process. In this paper, Box-Behnken was used to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis process of corn stalk, and the promotion effect of three typical surfactants on the enzymatic hydrolysis process was investigated. The experimental results showed that the total reducing sugar yield reached 67.6% under the best-predicted conditions. When the concentration of Tween 80 is 0.1%, it could be increased to 80.2%. In addition, the Impeded Michaels Model (IMM) is introduced in this study to describe the enzymatic hydrolysis process of corn stalks. Finally, the initial contact coefficient between the enzyme and cellulose (Kobs,0) and the gradual loss coefficient of enzyme activity (ki) caused by reaction obstruction were obtained by fitting data, which successfully verified the rationality of the model.

Effect of sarcopenia on refractures of adjacent vertebra after percutaneous kyphoplasty.

PURPOSE: To explore the effect of sarcopenia on recurrent fractures of adjacent vertebra after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). METHODS: A total of 376 osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) patients over 55 years old who were admitted to the Hospital from August 2020 to January 2021 were selected. Among them, 38 patients with recurrent fractures in adjacent vertebra after PKP were selected as the refracture group (RG), and the remaining 338 patients were selected as the non-refracture group (NRG). The age, gender, grip strength, body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain before and one month after surgery, Oswestry disability index (ODI) before and one month after surgery and the occurrence of sarcopenia were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of related risk factors on refracture after vertebral PKP. RESULTS: The results of t-test and Chi-square test showed that there were no obvious differences in gender, BMI, preoperative VAS score (t=-0.996, P = 0.320) and ODI (t=-0.424, P = 0.671), one month postoperative VAS score (t=-0.934, P = 0.355) and ODI score (t=-0.461, P = 0.645). while the age and grip strength showed significant differences between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI and gender had no significant effect on refracture after PKP, while sarcopenia and advanced age were independent risk factors for refracture after PKP. Also, increased BMD was a protective factor for refracture after PKP. CONCLUSION: Sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for recurrent fractures after PKP in OVCF patients. The screening and diagnosis of sarcopenia should be strengthened. At the same time, anti-sarcopenia treatment should be actively performed after surgery.

Design of pH/Redox Co-Triggered Degradable Diselenide-Containing Polyprodrug via a Facile One-Pot Two-Step Approach for Tumor-Specific Chemotherapy.

The diselenide bond has attracted intense interest for drug delivery systems (DDSs) for tumor chemotherapy, owing to it possessing higher redox sensitivity than the disulfide one. Various redox-responsive diselenide-containing carriers have been developed for chemotherapeutics delivery. However, the premature drug leakage from these DDSs was significant enough to cause toxic side effects on normal cells. Here, a pH/redox co-triggered degradable polyprodrug was designed as a drug self-delivery system (DSDS) by incorporating drug molecules as structural units in the polymer main chains, using a facile one-pot two-step approach. The proposed PDOX could only degrade and release drugs by breaking both the neighboring acid-labile acylhydrazone and the redox-cleavable diselenide conjugations in the drug's structural units, triggered by the higher acidity and glutathione (GSH) or reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the tumor cells. Therefore, a slow solubility-controlled drug release was achieved for tumor-specific chemotherapy, indicating promising potential as a safe and efficient long-acting DSDS for future tumor treatment.

Ultraportable Flow Cytometer Based on an All-Glass Microfluidic Chip.

The flow cytometer has become a powerful and widely accepted measurement device in both biological studies and clinical diagnostics. The application of the flow cytometer in emerging point-of-care scenarios, such as instant detection in remote areas and emergency diagnosis, requires a significant reduction in physical dimension, cost, and power consumption. This requirement promotes studies to develop portable flow cytometers, mostly based on the utilization of polymer microfluidic chips. However, due to the relatively poor optical performance of polymer materials, existing microfluidic flow cytometers are incapable of accurate blood analysis, such as the four-part leukocyte differential count, which is necessary to monitor the immune system and to assess the risk of allergic inflammation or viral infection. To address this issue, an ultraportable flow cytometer based on an all-glass microfluidic chip (AG-UFCM) has been developed in this study. Compared with that of a typical commercial flow cytometer (BD FACSAria III), the volume of the AG-UFCM was reduced by 90 times (from 720 to 8 L). A two-step laser processing was employed to fabricate an all-glass microfluidic chip with a surface roughness of less than 1 nm, significantly improving the optical performance of on-chip micro-lens. The signal-to-noise ratio was enhanced by 3 dB, compared with that of polymer materials. For the first time, a four-part leukocyte differential count based on single fluorescence staining was realized using a miniaturized flow cytometer, laying a foundation for the point-of-care testing of miniaturized flow cytometers.

Self-Assembling Peptide-Based Functional Biomaterials.

Peptides can self-assemble into various hierarchical nanostructures through noncovalent interactions and form functional materials exhibiting excellent chemical and physical properties, which have broad applications in bio-/nanotechnology. The self-assembly mechanism, self-assembly morphology of peptide supramolecular architecture and their various applications, have been widely explored which have the merit of biocompatibility, easy preparation, and controllable functionality. Herein, we introduce the latest research progress of self-assembling peptide-based nanomaterials and review their applications in biomedicine and optoelectronics, including tissue engineering, anticancer therapy, biomimetic catalysis, energy harvesting. We believe that this review will inspire the rational design and development of novel peptide-based functional bio-inspired materials in the future.

Transcriptional networks regulating suberin and lignin in endodermis link development and ABA response.

Vascular tissues are surrounded by an apoplastic barrier formed by endodermis that is vital for selective absorption of water and nutrients. Lignification and suberization of endodermal cell walls are fundamental processes in establishing the apoplastic barrier. Endodermal suberization in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) roots is presumed to be the integration of developmental regulation and stress responses. In root endodermis, the suberization level is enhanced when the Casparian strip, the lignified structure, is defective. However, it is not entirely clear how lignification and suberization interplay and how they interact with stress signaling. Here, in Arabidopsis, we constructed a hierarchical network mediated by SHORT-ROOT (SHR), a master regulator of endodermal development, and identified 13 key MYB transcription factors (TFs) that form multiple sub-networks. Combined with functional analyses, we further uncovered MYB TFs that mediate feedback or feed-forward loops, thus balancing lignification and suberization in Arabidopsis roots. In addition, sub-networks comprising nine MYB TFs were identified that interact with abscisic acid signaling to integrate stress response and root development. Our data provide insights into the mechanisms that enhance plant adaptation to changing environments.

High-Strength, Freeze-Resistant, Recyclable, and Biodegradable Polyvinyl Alcohol/Glycol/Wheat Protein Complex Organohydrogel for Wearable Sensing Devices.

The application of flexible wearable sensing devices based on conductive hydrogels in human motion signal monitoring has been widely studied. However, conventional conductive hydrogels contain a large amount of water, resulting in poor mechanical properties and limiting their application in harsh environments. Here, a simple one-pot method for preparing conductive hydrogels is proposed, that is, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), wheat protein (WP), and lithium chloride (LiCl) are dissolved in an ethylene glycol (EG)/water binary solvent. The obtained PVA/EG/WP (PEW) conductive organohydrogel has good mechanical properties, and its tensile strength and elongation at break reach 1.19 MPa and 531%, respectively, which can withstand a load of more than 6000 times its own weight without breaking. The binary solvent system composed of EG/water endows the hydrogel with good frost resistance and water retention. PEW organohydrogel as a wearable strain sensor also has good strain sensitivity (GF = 2.36), which can be used to detect the movement and physiological activity signals in different parts of the human body. In addition, PEW organohydrogels exhibit good degradability, reducing the environmental footprint of the flexible sensors after disposal. This research provides a new and viable way to prepare a new generation of environmentally friendly sensors.

Formation of Nano- and Microplastics and Dissolved Chemicals During Photodegradation of Polyester Base Fabrics with Polyurethane Coating.

Polyurethane (PU) synthetic leathers possess an intricate plastic composition, including polyester (PET) base fabrics and upper PU resin, but the release of fragments from the complexes is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the photodegradation trends of PET base fabrics with PU coating (PET-U) as a representative of composite plastics. Attention was paid to the comparison of the photoaging process of PET-U with that of pure PET base fabric (PET-P). To reveal the potential for chain scission, physical and chemical changes (e.g., surface morphology, molecular weight, and crystallinity) of the two fabrics were explored. The generation of microplastic fibers (MPFs) and microplastic particles (MPPs) was distinguished. Compared with PET-P, PET-U showed a similar but delayed trend in various characteristics and debris release rate as the photoaging time prolonged. Even so, after 360 h of illumination, the generated number of MPs (including MPFs and MPPs) rose considerably to 9.32 × 107 MPs/g, and the amount of released nanoplastics (NPs) increased to 2.70 × 1011 NPs/g from PET-U. The suppression of MP formation from PET-U was potentially directed by the physical shielding of the upper PU layer and the dropped MPs, which resisted the photochemical radical effect. The components of dissolved organic matter derived from plastics (P-DOM) were separated by molecular weight using a size-exclusion chromatography-diode array detector-organic carbon detector/organic nitrogen detector (SEC-DAD-OCD/OND), and the results showed that a larger amount of carbon- and nitrogen-containing chemical substances were generated in PET-U, accompanied by more aromatic and fluorescent compounds. The results provided theoretical bases and insights for future research on the risks of plastic debris from PU synthetic leathers on aquatic organisms and indicated feasible directions for exploring combined pollution studies of plastics.

Evaluation of the effect of 3D-bioprinted gingival fibroblast-encapsulated ADM scaffolds on keratinized gingival augmentation.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The keratinized gingiva plays an important role in maintaining healthy periodontal and peri-implant tissue. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM), as a substitute biomaterial, has a porous structure and good biocompatibility. 3D-bioprinting has the potential for tissue engineering because it enables precise loading of cells layer-by-layer. Herein, we bioprinted ADM scaffold encapsulating gingival fibroblasts (GFs) and evaluated its efficacy in keratinized gingiva augmentation in vivo to assess its potential for clinical periodontal tissue regeneration. METHODS: GFs were extracted from the gingiva of beagles and transfected with a green fluorescent protein (GFP). The ADM scaffold (ADM cell-free group) was constructed using ADM, gelatin, and sodium alginate mixed at an appropriate ratio via 3D-bioprinting. The ADM cell scaffold (ADM cell group) was established by adding extra GFs in the same manner. Six beagles were divided into blank control, ADM cell-free, and ADM cell groups; and implant surgery was performed. The keratinized gingiva was clinically and histologically evaluated at baseline and after 2 months. RESULTS: GFs transfected with GFPs expressed green fluorescence and were present in new tissue in the ADM cell group and not observed in the ADM cell-free group. At 2 months after surgery, the keratinized gingival augmentation in the ADM cell group was significantly more than that in the ADM cell-free group. Attached gingival augmentation was also observed more in the ADM cell group than that in the ADM cell-free group. Histological staining showed that the tissue in the ADM cell group displayed a more integrated structure and higher expression of COL I, COL III, and VEGF-A than those in the ADM cell-free group. CONCLUSION: 3D-bioprinted GF-encapsulated ADM scaffolds increased the amount of keratinized gingiva in vivo, suggesting that 3D-bioprinting has great potential for oral soft tissue regeneration.

Full-Chain FeCl3 Catalyzation Is Sufficient to Boost Cellulase Secretion and Cellulosic Ethanol along with Valorized Supercapacitor and Biosorbent Using Desirable Corn Stalk.

Cellulosic ethanol is regarded as a perfect additive for petrol fuels for global carbon neutralization. As bioethanol conversion requires strong biomass pretreatment and overpriced enzymatic hydrolysis, it is increasingly considered in the exploration of biomass processes with fewer chemicals for cost-effective biofuels and value-added bioproducts. In this study, we performed optimal liquid-hot-water pretreatment (190 °C for 10 min) co-supplied with 4% FeCl3 to achieve the near-complete biomass enzymatic saccharification of desirable corn stalk for high bioethanol production, and all the enzyme-undigestible lignocellulose residues were then examined as active biosorbents for high Cd adsorption. Furthermore, by incubating Trichoderma reesei with the desired corn stalk co-supplied with 0.05% FeCl3 for the secretion of lignocellulose-degradation enzymes in vivo, we examined five secreted enzyme activities elevated by 1.3-3.0-fold in vitro, compared to the control without FeCl3 supplementation. After further supplying 1:2 (w/w) FeCl3 into the T. reesei-undigested lignocellulose residue for the thermal-carbonization process, we generated highly porous carbon with specific electroconductivity raised by 3-12-fold for the supercapacitor. Therefore, this work demonstrates that FeCl3 can act as a universal catalyst for the full-chain enhancement of biological, biochemical, and chemical conversions of lignocellulose substrates, providing a green-like strategy for low-cost biofuels and high-value bioproducts.

Transcellular Transport Behavior of the Intact Polymeric Mixed Micelles with Different Polymeric Ratios.

In order to better promote the application of the polymeric mixed micelles (PMMs) in oral delivery, in addition to focusing on the improvement of micellar structural stability, it is necessary to obtain the absorption characteristics of the intact micellar particles. In this work, the transport behavior across Caco-2 cells of FS/PMMs composed of Pluronic F127 and Solutol HS15 was tracked by encapsulating an environment-responsive probe into the particles. The specific property of the probe is the water-initiated aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) ability, by which integral particles can be identified accurately. The influence of polymeric ratios (FS) on the transcellular behavior of FS/PMMs was explored and the single pass intestinal perfusion experiment was used to further illustrate it. Moreover, pharmacokinetics parameters were detected to analyze the relationship among FS ratios, transport behavior, and pharmacokinetic parameters. FS ratios were found to hardly affect the endocytosis pathways and intracellular itinerary of FS/PMMs, but do affect the proportion of each path. FS/PMMs with high HS15 content, namely System-I, were found to primarily undergo receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway and be less susceptible to lysosomal degradation, which would lead to more absorption and higher Cmax and AUC than drug suspension. In contrast, despite System-II with high F127 content cannot contribute to drug plasma concentration, it can prolong the in vivo retention time. These findings provided evidence for the role of polymeric ratios in modulating the transcellular absorption and pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug-loaded PMMs, and would be a step forward in helping PMMs' design to enhance oral drug delivery.

Facile Synthesis of a Redox-Responsive Hyperbranched Polymer Prodrug as a Unimolecular Micelle for the Tumor-Selective Drug Delivery.

Demicellization of the self-assembled multimolecular micelles upon dilution restricts their application as drug delivery systems (DDSs) for tumor treatment. Here, a redox-responsive hyperbranched polymer prodrug (HBPP) was designed with a high drug content of 62.0% as a unimolecular micelle for the tumor-selective drug delivery, via the facile self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) of redox-responsive doxorubicin-based prodrug monomer MA-SS-DOX and poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) with p-chloromethylstyrene (CMS) as an inimer. The unimolecular micelle could be easily obtained with a hydrodynamic diameter of 122 nm, showing excellent GSH-triggered drug release performance with a cumulative release of 60.9% within 85 h but a low premature drug leakage of 3.2%. The unimolecular micelle exhibited selective tumor growth inhibition on HepG2 cells but no obvious cytotoxicity on L02 cells.

Bioaccessibility of Microplastic-Associated Antibiotics in Freshwater Organisms: Highlighting the Impacts of Biofilm Colonization via an In Vitro Protocol.

Microplastics in the environment can be colonized by microbes capable of forming biofilms, which may act as reactive coatings to affect the bioaccessibility of pollutants in organisms. This study investigated the dynamic evolution of biofilm colonization on microplastics and its impacts and mechanisms on the bioaccessibility of microplastic-associated sulfamethazine (SMT) via microcosm incubation in surface water and sediment. After 60 days of incubation, the microbial communities formed in microplastics were distinct and more diverse than those untethered in surroundings, and photoaging treatment decreased the affinity of biofilms on microplastics due to decreased hydrophobicity. Biofilm formation further enhanced the desorption and bioaccessibility of microplastic-sorbed SMT in organisms. In vitro experiments indicated that the critical effects were mainly related to the stronger interaction of gastrointestinal components (i.e., pepsin, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and NaT) with biofilm components (e.g., extracellular polymer substances) than with the pure surface of microplastics, which competed for binding sites in microplastics for SMT more significantly. Photoaging decreased the enhancing effects of biofilms due to their lower accumulation in aged microplastics. This study is the first attempt to reveal the role of biofilms in the bioaccessibility of microplastics with associated antibiotics and provide insights into the combined risk of microplastics in the environment.

Insight into the Photodegradation of Microplastics Boosted by Iron (Hydr)oxides.

Iron (hydr)oxides as a kind of natural mineral actively participate in the transformation of organic pollutants, but there is a large knowledge gap in their impacts on photochemical processes of microplastics (MPs). This study is the first to examine the degradation of two ordinary plastic materials, polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), mediated by iron (hydr)oxides (goethite and hematite) under simulated solar light irradiation. Both iron (hydr)oxides significantly promoted the degradation of MPs (particularly PP) with a greater effect by goethite than hematite, related to hydroxyl radical (•OH) produced by iron (hydr)oxides. Under light irradiation, the surface Fe(II) phase catalyzed the production of H2O2 and promoted the release of Fe2+, leading to the subsequent light-driven Fenton reaction which produced a large amount of •OH. As the iron (hydr)oxides were modified with NaF at various concentrations, the activity of the surface Fe(II) as well as the release of Fe2+ were greatly reduced, and thus the •OH formation and MP degradation were depressed remarkably. It is worth noting that the surface hydroxyl groups (especially ≡FeOH) affected the reaction kinetics of •OH by regulating the activity of Fe species. These findings unveil the distinct impacts and intrinsic mechanisms of iron (hydr)oxides in influencing the photodegradation of MPs.

Photocatalytic degradation of (micro)plastics using TiO2-based and other catalysts: Properties, influencing factor, and mechanism.

(Micro)plastics pollution has raised global concern because of its potential threat to the biota. The review on recent developments of photocatalytic degradation of (micro)plastics is still insufficient. In this study, we have discussed various bare and composites photocatalysts involved in the photocatalytic degradation of (micro)plastics. The photocatalytic mechanisms and factors affecting the degradation were also discussed. To improve the performance of photocatalysts, their surface is modified with metal or non-metal dopants. These doped photocatalysts are then compounded with a variety of environmentally friendly and nontoxic polymers to prepare multifunctional composites. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role in the photocatalytic degradation of (micro)plastics, and superoxide ions (O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) participate in the photocatalytic degradation, leading to the breaking of the polymer chain and the production of some intermediates. Although satisfactory progress has been achieved in the photodegradation of (micro)plastics, most photocatalytic degradation technologies investigated to date cannot realize the complete mineralization of (micro)plastics. Furthermore, based on the current challenges of the existing photocatalytic degradation technologies, perspectives for future research directions have been proposed. This review presents a systematic summary of the progress made in the photocatalytic degradation of (micro)plastics and offers a comprehensive reference for future research on improving the (micro)plastics photocatalytic degradation efficiency.

Predicting the risk of dental implant loss using deep learning.

AIM: To investigate the feasibility of predicting dental implant loss risk with deep learning (DL) based on preoperative cone-beam computed tomography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six hundred and three patients who underwent implant surgery (279 high-risk patients who did and 324 low-risk patients who did not experience implant loss within 5 years) between January 2012 and January 2020 were enrolled. Three models, a logistic regression clinical model (CM) based on clinical features, a DL model based on radiography features, and an integrated model (IM) developed by combining CM with DL, were developed to predict the 5-year implant loss risk. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the model performance. Time to implant loss was considered for both groups, and Kaplan-Meier curves were created and compared by the log-rank test. RESULTS: The IM exhibited the best performance in predicting implant loss risk (AUC = 0.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.84-0.95), followed by the DL model (AUC = 0.87, 95% CI 0.80-0.92) and the CM (AUC = 0.72, 95% CI 0.63-0.79). CONCLUSIONS: Our study offers preliminary evidence that both the DL model and the IM performed well in predicting implant fate within 5 years and thus may greatly facilitate implant practitioners in assessing preoperative risks.

Application of dental pulp stem cells in oral maxillofacial tissue engineering.

In the maxillofacial area, soft and hard tissue abnormalities are caused by trauma, tumors, infection, and other causes that expose the maxillofacial region to the surface of the human body. Patients' normal physiological function and appearance are interfered with, and their mental health is adversely impacted, reducing their overall life quality. The pursuit of appropriate medical treatments to correct these abnormalities is thus vital. Autologous stem cell regeneration technology mainly focused on tissues has lately emerged as a significant problem in the medical community. Because of the capacity of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) to self-renew, the use of DPSCs from the human pulp tissues of deciduous teeth or permanent teeth has gained popularity among scientists as a stem cell-based therapy option. Aside from that, they are simple to extract and have minimal immunogenicity. As a result, bone tissue engineering may be a critical component in treating maxillofacial and periodontal bone abnormalities. DPSCs activity in maxillofacial and periodontal tissue-engineered bone tissue was investigated in this research.

Histopathological analysis of incompetent great saphenous veins after mechanochemical ablation treatment - An ex-vivo experiment.

BACKGROUND: The endovascular technique of mechanochemical ablation (MOCA) has become popular in treating patients with saphenous reflux. We reported the histopathological findings in human ex-vivo incompetent great saphenous veins following treatment with saline, polidocanol, mechanical ablation and MOCA using ClariVein device. METHODS: Twenty-four vein GSV specimens were obtained via traditional surgery and treated with four methods: Group A: 0.9% normal saline (NS); Group B: 3% polidocanol; Group C: mechanical ablation + 0.9% NS; Group D: mechanical ablation + 3% polidocanol (MOCA). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE), Masson's trichrome and immunohistochemical staining were performed on each specimen and integrated optical densities were measured with vWF and a-SMA stains and statistically evaluated. vWF staining was used to assess endothelial damage and a a-SMA staining was used to assess media injury. RESULTS: HE and Masson's trichrome staining of Groups C and D revealed severe damage to the endothelium and media compared to Groups A and B. The statistical result of vWF staining showed the damage of endothelium was significantly increased by Group D compared to Groups A, B and C. The statistical result of a-SMA staining showed the damage of media was significantly increased by Groups C and D compared to Groups A and B. CONCLUSIONS: The mechanism of MOCA was caused by both endothelium damage and media tearing. The damage of endothelium was significantly increased by MOCA when compared with mechanical ablation alone.

A Review of Liposomes as a Drug Delivery System: Current Status of Approved Products, Regulatory Environments, and Future Perspectives.

Liposomes have been considered promising and versatile drug vesicles. Compared with traditional drug delivery systems, liposomes exhibit better properties, including site-targeting, sustained or controlled release, protection of drugs from degradation and clearance, superior therapeutic effects, and lower toxic side effects. Given these merits, several liposomal drug products have been successfully approved and used in clinics over the last couple of decades. In this review, the liposomal drug products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) are discussed. Based on the published approval package in the FDA and European public assessment report (EPAR) in EMA, the critical chemistry information and mature pharmaceutical technologies applied in the marketed liposomal products, including the lipid excipient, manufacturing methods, nanosizing technique, drug loading methods, as well as critical quality attributions (CQAs) of products, are introduced. Additionally, the current regulatory guidance and future perspectives related to liposomal products are summarized. This knowledge can be used for research and development of the liposomal drug candidates under various pipelines, including the laboratory bench, pilot plant, and commercial manufacturing.
