The current systematic review, which underwent a rigorous search process in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and Central (Cochrane) employing (Liposome AND nanofib* AND electrosp*) as search keywords, aims to present the recent studies on using this synergic system for different therapeutic applications.

For pulmonary diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), infectious disease or lung cancer, aerosol delivery is the best choice to locally deliver NAs into the lungs. It is, therefore, important to investigate the effects of nebulization conditions on the efficiency of delivery. To this purpose, the non-viral vector branched polyethyleneimine (b-PEI, 25 kDa) was investigated for plasmid delivery by aerosol. Two types of nebulizers, jet nebulizer and mesh nebulizer, were compared regarding the properties of the nanoparticles (NPs) formed, the efficiency of NAs delivery <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> models and the pulmonary deposition. The results indicate that the mesh nebulizer has a better gene delivery performance than the jet nebulizer in this application. This superiority was demonstrated in terms of size, concentration, distribution of NPs and efficiency of NAs delivery. However, pulmonary deposition appears to be similar regardless of the nebulizer used, and the difference between the two systems lies in the inhalable dose. These results underline the crucial role of nebulization techniques in optimizing aerosol-mediated gene delivery by b-PEI and highlight the potential of mesh nebulizers as promising tools to improved gene therapy.

Contemporary scholarly examinations have underscored the substantial antioxidative efficacy of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs), postulating their utility as an adjunct therapeutic modality in silicosis management. The physicochemical interaction between PtNPs and silica demonstrates a propensity for adsorption, thereby facilitating the amelioration and subsequent pulmonary clearance of silica aggregates. In addition to their detoxifying attributes, PtNPs exhibit pronounced anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities, which can neutralize ROS and inhibit macrophage-mediated inflammatory processes. Such attributes are instrumental in attenuating inflammatory responses and forestalling subsequent lung tissue damage.
