Engineering metabolism to modulate immunity
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2023 Nov 5:115122. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2023.115122. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetabolic programming and reprogramming have emerged as pivotal mechanisms for altering immune cell function. Thus, immunometabolism has become an attractive target area for treatment of immune-mediated disorders. Nonetheless, many hurdles to delivering metabolic cues persist. In this review, we consider how biomaterials are poised to transform manipulation of immune cell metabolism through integrated control of metabolic configurations to affect outcomes in autoimmunity, regeneration, transplant, and cancer.

Nanomedicines to treat rare neurological disorders: The case of Krabbe disease
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2023 Oct 31;203:115132. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2023.115132. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe brain remains one of the most challenging therapeutic targets due to the low and selective permeability of the blood-brain barrier and complex architecture of the brain tissue. Nanomedicines, despite their relatively large size compared to small molecules and nucleic acids, are being heavily investigated as vehicles to delivery therapeutics into the brain. Here we elaborate on how nanomedicines may be used to treat rare neurodevelopmental disorders, using Krabbe disease (globoid cell leukodystrophy) to frame the d...

Nanocarriers transport across the gastrointestinal barriers: The contribution to oral bioavailability via blood circulation and lymphatic pathway
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2023 Oct 30:115130. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2023.115130. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOral administration is the preferred route of drug delivery in clinical practice due to its noninvasiveness, safety, convenience, and high patient compliance. The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) plays a crucial role in facilitating the targeted delivery of oral drugs. However, the GIT presents multiple barriers that impede drug absorption, including the gastric barrier in the stomach and the mucus and epithelial barriers in the intestine. In recent decades, nanotechnology has emerged as a promising approach for overcoming th...

Injectable Systems for Long-lasting Insulin Therapy
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2023 Oct 26:115121. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2023.115121. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInsulin therapy is the mainstay to treat diabetes charactered by hyperglycemia. However, its short half-life of only 4-6 min limits its effectiveness in treating chronic diabetes. Advances in recombinant DNA technology and protein engineering have led to several insulin analogue products that have up to 42 h of glycemic control. However, these insulin analogues still require once- or twice-daily injections for optimal glycemic control and have poor patient compliance and adherence issues. To achieve insulin release for mo...
