1. Pomegranate Seed Oil Biologically Engineered Lactobacillus Extracellular Vesicles with Enhanced Yield and Brain Delivery via ApoE-Enriched Protein Corona

Duan D, Xu S, Wu K, Xu M, Zhou S, Yang X, Et Al.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a major bottleneck for nanomedicine-based treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Lactobacillus -derived extracellular vesicles (LEV) are promising biocompatible nanocarriers, but their low production yield and limited BBB permeability hinder their development. We…

2. Semi-randomized zwitterionic peptides: a breakthrough in drug delivery

Hernandez Pa, Moore Cj, Overby Ct, Benoit Dsw

Nanoparticle drug delivery systems (NP DDS) have transformed therapeutic delivery by improving drug stability, extending circulation time, and enabling targeted biodistribution. However, clinical translation remains limited by protein corona formation, immune recognition, and accelerated blood clearance following…

3. Autonomous Nanomedicine: Closing the Biological Validation Gap

Lin Yj, Komperda I

Although nanomedicines offer advanced formulation control and physicochemical characterization, clinical translation has been limited. Delivery meta-analyses and late-stage attrition indicate biological validation is often a bottleneck. It must account for context-dependent processes such as protein corona formation…

4. Apolipoproteins in nanoparticle-mediated brain drug delivery: promise, mechanisms, and misconceptions

Gelperina S, Wacker Mg

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a context-dependent role in nanomedicine for central nervous system drug delivery. It can facilitate cerebral endothelial recognition and increase brain exposure in nanoparticle systems while simultaneously promoting hepatic uptake, challenging its traditional interpretation as a…

5. Beyond Uptake in Cancer Lipid Nanomedicines: Linking Tumour Access, Intracellular Fate, and Molecular Action

Syed Hashim Sa

Clinical translation of lipid nanomedicines in oncology is limited by biological barriers and by an interpretive challenge: tumour accumulation and cellular uptake are often used as proxies for delivery even when pharmacologically competent cargo, meaning cargo capable of producing its intended molecular effect, has…

6. Impact of the protein corona in RGD-functionalized nanoliposomes delivering enzymatic replacement therapy for Fabry disease

Moltó-Abad M, Tomsen-Melero J, Villagrasa-Araya V, Marijuan-Pinel D, Díaz-Riascos Zv, Canals F, Et Al.

The protein corona (PC) formed upon nanoparticle exposure to blood critically defines their biological identity and in vivo fate, yet its impact on targeted liposomal enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs) remains incompletely understood. Here, we systematically investigated how RGD functionalization (including varying…

7. The role of glycocalyx-protein corona interactions in the cell type-specific uptake of mRNA nanocarriers

Jacobs W, De Zwaan K, Rutten L, Van Wessel T, Boltje Tj, Cano Lq, Et Al.

Non-viral nanocarriers for oligonucleotide delivery have enormous therapeutic potential, but the factors determining cell type-specific uptake remain incompletely understood. One major cell surface component that delivery vectors encounter is the glycocalyx. While membrane glycans are established interactors for many…
