Ethyl 4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoate (DHA-Et) dissolved in an ethanol solution or embedded in liposomes was degraded by irradiating with gamma rays in a dose-dependent manner. The degradation rate of DHA-Et embedded in liposomes was higher than that of DHA-Et dissolved in ethanol. Antioxidants suppressed the degradation of DHA-Et embedded in liposomes, the order of activity of the antioxidants being luteolin>fisetin>kaempferol>quercetin>rutin. These results suggest that the hydrophobicity (logP) of an antioxidant is one of determinants for antioxidative activity, but that a vicinal diol structure in the B ring is not favorable for the antioxidative activity.

The recent approval of pembrolizumab in recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer warrants further investigations into the usefulness of immunotherapies for more durable and less radical interventions. In this study, the targeting potential of anti-PD-L1-functionalized immunoliposomes was tested in a 3D in vitro cervical cancer-on-a-chip model. Immunolipsomes were synthesized and decorated externally with monovalent anti-PD-L1 Fab' fragments of commercially available atezolizumab.

Nanocarrier-based dry powders for lung disease treatment are crucial, with in vitro and in silico research being pivotal to their success. This study introduces a method for creating Tiotropium-bromide liposomal inhalation dry powder, termed "Trojan-particles," utilizing thin-film hydration and spray-drying with lactose-arginine carriers. Encapsulating tiotropium-bromide in nanoliposomes enhances lung treatment via liposomes' unique features.

: Lung cancer is an aggressive disease with rapid progression and a high rate of metastasis, leading to a significantly poor prognosis for many patients. While chemotherapy continues to serve as a cornerstone treatment for a large proportion of lung cancer patients, expanding preclinical and clinical evidence indicates that chemotherapy may promote tumor metastasis and cause side effects. : We develop an injectable bait-and-hook hydrogel (BH-gel) for targeted tumor cell eradication, which embedded doxorubicin liposomes as cytotoxic agents and CXCL12 as a chemoattractant to capture and kill tumor cells.

Magnetic polymeric nanocomposites are a modern class of materials in which magnetic nanoparticles are embedded in a polymeric matrix. This combination of magnetic responsiveness and tuneable properties bestows versatility on this class of polymer nanocomposite material, which has potentially broad applications in drug delivery, imaging, environmental remediation and beyond. This review covers the uses of magnetic polymeric nanocomposites in drug delivery, discussing magnetic micelles, magnetic liposomes, magnetic hydrogels, magnetic sponges, magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles, magnetic microrobots, magnetic elastomers and magnetic scaffolds.
