The present work focused on loading p-IJA into liposomes to enhance their promising therapeutic and imaging applications. To optimise IJA loading into liposomes, we investigated the effect of lipid bilayer composition (lipid melting points, cholesterol, DSPE-PEG<sub>2000</sub>, and lipid charge) on the encapsulation of pre-formed IJA (p-IJA) into liposomes. Our findings showed the significance of high melting point lipids, high cholesterol, and DSPE-PEG<sub>2000</sub> contents for persevering p-IJA following loading into liposomes. Moreover, low percentages (∼5 mol %) of positively charged (DOTAP) or negatively charged (DSPG) lipids could still be incorporated into our liposomes without affecting p-IJA loading. Promisingly, p-IJA-liposomes enhanced p-IJA optical stability in a range of biological media, such as serum proteins, blood and collagen. Finally, lyophilised p-IJA-liposomes for long-term storage were successfully prepared. The present study solely focused on evaluating the enhanced photothermal stability of p-IJA following liposome envelopment.

The pathophysiology of hypertension is multifactorial, which led recent guidelines to recommend the initiation of treatment with more than one antihypertensive agent. This exacerbates the existing issue of polypharmacy, particularly among geriatric patients. Polypharmacy can lead to a reduction in patient adherence to the treatment. As a result, many clinical studies have investigated using fixed-dose combinations to address this issue. These studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of a polypill in improving patient adherence. However, a polypill limits the flexibility for dose titration and personalisation of treatment. Therefore, when 3D printing was first introduced to pharmaceutical formulation, researchers recognised the potential of this technology for drug personalisation and the creation of more flexible drug combinations. Nonetheless, regulatory concerns still limit the translation of these research efforts into clinical applications that can benefit the patient.

Conversely, Ch-SeNPs did not impair the Pt-drug uptake or DNA binding in any cell type; and even increased its antitumour effect, which might enable using lower doses of cisplatin without loss of anticancer efficacy, which would result in decreased risk of renotoxicity. Furthermore, cells incubated either with SeMet or SeNPs showed higher levels of selenoproteins, which might enhance cellular defences against the reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in cisplatin renotoxicity.
