Applications of polymeric nanoparticles in drug delivery for glioblastoma.

Front Pharmacol

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, The First Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China.

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumors, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches. Polymer-based nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution, offering precise drug delivery, enhanced blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, and adaptability to the tumor microenvironment (TME). This review explores the diverse applications of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) in GBM treatment, including delivery of chemotherapeutics, targeted therapeutics, immunotherapeutics, and other agents for radiosensitization and photodynamic therapy.

Lattice metamaterials emerge as advanced architected materials with superior physical properties and significant potential for lightweight applications. Recent developments in additive manufacturing (AM) techniques facilitate the manufacturing of lattice metamaterials with intricate microarchitectures and promote their applications in multi-physical scenarios. Previous reviews on lattice metamaterials have largely focused on a specific/single physical field, with limited discussion on their multi-physical properties, interaction mechanisms, and multifunctional applications.

Hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) have drawn great interest in the biomedical field on account of their special morphology, low viscosity, self-regulation, and facile preparation methods. Moreover, their large intramolecular cavities, high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and targeting properties render them very suitable for anti-tumor drug delivery. Recently, exploiting the specific characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, a range of multifunctional HBPs responsive to the tumor microenvironment have emerged.

Titanium alloys are widely used in the manufacture of orthopedic prosthesis given their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the primary drawbacks of traditional titanium alloy prosthesis are their much higher elastic modulus than cancellous bone and poor interfacial adhesion, which lead to poor osseointegration. 3D-printed porous titanium alloys can partly address these issues, but their bio-inertness still requires modifications to adapt to different physiological and pathological microenvironments.
