The close connection between the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) that are enclosed within this barrier is the result of an intracellular junction, which is responsible for the constricted connection. The regulation and control of drug delivery systems both require nanoparticles, which are extremely small particles made up of a variety of materials, including polymers, metals, and other chemicals. Nanoparticles are a crucial component of the regulation and control of drug delivery systems. There is a possibility that nanomaterials composed of inorganic chemicals, such as gold nanoparticles, could be utilized in the treatment of neurodegenerative illnesses like Parkinson's disease. In addition to this, they are used as nano-carriers for the aim of distributing drugs to the region of the brain that is being targeted. There are a number of advantages that are easily apparent when compared to other methods of administering drugs for neurological diseases. The current review demonstrates both the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing a wide variety of nanomaterials for brain delivery, as well as the potential impact that this will have in the future on the safety and effectiveness of patient care.

Alopecia, a common dermatological condition, poses significant psychological and social challenges. Despite the availability of various treatments, their efficacy is often limited by poor bioavailability and delivery challenges. Nanostructured lipid carriers have emerged as promising advanced drug delivery systems for alopecia treatment due to their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds, enhancing their stability, solubility, and controlled release.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a promising strategy in targeted cancer therapy, enabling the precise delivery of cytotoxic agents to tumor sites while minimizing systemic toxicity. However, traditional ADCs face significant limitations, including restricted drug loading capacity, where an optimal drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) is crucial; low DARs may lead to insufficient potency, while high DARs can cause rapid clearance and increased toxicity. Additionally, ADCs often suffer from instability in circulation due to the potential for premature release of cytotoxic agents, resulting in off-target effects and reduced therapeutic efficacy.

Radiotherapy (RT) is widely applied in tumor therapy, but inevitable side effects, especially for skin radiation injury, are still a fatal problem and life-threatening challenge for tumor patients. The main components of topical radiation protection preparations currently available on the market are antioxidants, such as SOD, which are limited by their unstable activity and short duration of action, making it difficult to achieve the effects of radiation protection and skin radiation damage treatment. Therefore, we designed a drug-free antioxidant hydrogel patch with encapsulated bioactive epidermal growth factor (EGF) for the treatment of radiation skin injury.

Synthetic cells offer a versatile platform for addressing biomedical and environmental challenges, due to their modular design and capability to mimic cellular processes such as biosensing, intercellular communication, and metabolism. Constructing synthetic cells capable of stimuli-responsive secretion is vital for applications in targeted drug delivery and biosensor development. Previous attempts at engineering secretion for synthetic cells have been confined to non-specific cargo release via membrane pores, limiting the spatiotemporal precision and specificity necessary for selective secretion.
