Precision functionalization strategies, including aptamer-guided targeting, peptide-mediated infiltration, and magnetically navigable systems, further extend their therapeutic reach. A transformative advance lies in the use of autologous tumor-derived membranes, preserving patient-specific antigenicity and glycosylation profiles vital for adaptive immune engagement.

However, their widespread application is limited by challenges associated with suboptimal drug release kinetics and poor bioavailability under complex physiological conditions. These limitations stem from the dual paradox of maintaining circulatory stability while enabling rapid drug release at target sites. Engineering of stimulus-responsive liposomal systems has been identified as a promising strategy for mitigating these biomedical delivery challenges. Such systems are designed to achieve spatiotemporally controlled drug release and nanomedicine in response to specific endogenous or exogenous stimulus, thereby enhancing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing systemic toxicity. A comprehensive understanding of the design principles and release mechanisms governing stimulus-responsive liposomes is essential for the rational development of advanced drug delivery systems. Therefore, this review systematically examines the design strategies for precise, stimulus-triggered drug release through a detailed analysis of the effects of liposome structure and composition on drug release, with particular emphasis on lipid component engineering for controlled release. Furthermore, it explores functionalization strategies, focusing on chemical modification approaches for stimulus-responsive behavior. The component-responsive design and functional modification strategies discussed herein provide a systematic framework for liposome research.

However, despite extensive optimization of chemical permeation enhancers, orally delivered peptides such as semaglutide and octreotide remain limited by bioavailabilities below 1%, suggesting that critical determinants of gastrointestinal absorption have been inadequately addressed. In particular, mechanical forces generated by peristalsis and intimate dosage form–epithelium interactions, although influential for drug transport, have remained largely unexploited in oral drug delivery. Here we introduce a mechanobiological permeation-enhancement approach, leveraging microtopography to amplify mechanical stimuli, thus transiently modulating epithelial permeability through Piezo1 activation. Experiments employing magnetic microbeads and rose-petal-templated micropatterned films demonstrated that increased surface roughness correlates quantitatively with enhanced paracellular permeability in Caco-2 monolayers. Mechanistic studies using calcium imaging, selective inhibitors, and transcriptomics confirmed that microtopography-activated Piezo1 channels drive sustained intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> influx and cytoskeletal remodeling, while finite-element modeling and ex vivo electron microscopy revealed mechanically induced transient intercellular gap formation. Importantly, integrating micropatterned films into oral enteric capsules in beagle dogs improved octreotide bioavailability by three-fold relative to the Food and Drug Administration approved formulations containing high-dose sodium caprate. These results establish microtopography-driven functional modulation of tight junctions as a safe, effective, and broadly applicable route to improve oral macromolecule absorption, offering a robust new framework to integrate physical enhancement strategies alongside traditional chemical excipients in advanced pharmaceutical formulations.</p>","PeriodicalId":100191,"journal":{"name":"BMEMat","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bmm2.70052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147333908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
