In this review, a discussion of recent studies that used kinetic spectroscopy measurements to evaluate such diffusion properties in various tissues is made. By immersing <em>ex vivo</em> tissues in agents or by topical application of those agents <em>in vivo</em>, their diffusion properties can be evaluated by kinetic collimated transmittance or diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Using this method, recent studies were able to discriminate the diffusion properties of agents between healthy and diseased tissues, especially in the cases of cancer and diabetes mellitus. In the case of cancer, it was also possible to evaluate an increase of 5% in the mobile water content from the healthy to the cancerous colorectal and kidney tissues. Considering the application of some agents to living organisms or food products to protect them from deterioration during low temperature preservation (cryopreservation), and knowing that such agent inclusion may be reversed, some studies in these fields are also discussed. Considering the broadband application of the optical spectroscopy evaluation of the diffusion properties of agents in tissues and the physiological diagnostic data that such method can acquire, further studies concerning the optimization of fruit sweetness or evaluation of poison diffusion in tissues or antidote application for treatment optimization purposes are indicated as future perspectives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7254,"journal":{"name":"Advanced drug delivery reviews","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 115420"},"PeriodicalIF":15.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169409X24002424/pdfft?md5=b8367e26b483709981c036dc2434830a&pid=1-s2.0-S0169409X24002424-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141888115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The low sequence complexity of IDPs has led to the design and development of intrinsically-disordered protein polymers (IDPPs), a class of engineered repeat IDPs with stimuli-responsive properties. The perfect repetitive architecture of IDPPs allows for repeat-level encoding of tunable protein functionality. Designer IDPPs can be modeled on endogenous IDPs or engineered de novo as protein polymers with dual biophysical and biological functionality. Their properties can be rationally tailored to access enigmatic IDP biology and to create programmable smart biomaterials. With the goal of inspiring the bioengineering of multifunctional IDP-based materials, here we synthesize recent multidisciplinary progress in programming and exploiting the bio-functionality of IDPPs and IDPP-containing proteins. Collectively, expanding beyond the traditional sequence space of extracellular IDPs, emergent sequence-level control of IDPP functionality is fueling the bioengineering of self-assembling biomaterials, advanced drug delivery systems, tissue scaffolds, and biomolecular condensates —genetically encoded organelle-like structures. Looking forward, we emphasize open challenges and emerging opportunities, arguing that the intracellular behaviors of IDPPs represent a rich space for biomedical discovery and innovation. Combined with the intense focus on IDP biology, the growing landscape of IDPPs and their biomedical applications set the stage for the accelerated engineering of high-value biotechnologies and biomaterials.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7254,"journal":{"name":"Advanced drug delivery reviews","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 115418"},"PeriodicalIF":15.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141878210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the wrong context such as due to genetic and environmental factors, however, the same mechanisms crucial for self-preservation can lead to a loss of self-tolerance. Resulting autoimmunity manifests in the development of a host of organ-specific or systemic autoimmune diseases, hallmarked by aberrant immune responses and tissue damage. The prevalence of autoimmune diseases is on the rise, medical management of which focuses primarily on pharmacological immunosuppression that places patients at a risk of side effects, including opportunistic infections and tumorigenesis. Biomaterial-based drug delivery systems confer many opportunities to address challenges associated with conventional disease management. Hydrogels, in particular, can protect encapsulated cargo (drug or cell therapeutics) from the host environment, afford their presentation in a controlled manner, and can be tailored to respond to disease conditions or support treatment via multiplexed functionality. Moreover, localized delivery to affected sites by these approaches has the potential to concentrate drug action at the site, reduce off-target exposure, and enhance patient compliance by reducing the need for frequent administration. Despite their many benefits for the management of autoimmune disease, such biomaterial-based approaches focus largely on the downstream effects of hypersensitivity mechanisms and have a limited capacity to eradicate the disease. In contrast, direct targeting of mechanisms of hypersensitivity reactions uniquely enables prophylaxis or the arrest of disease progression by mitigating the basis of autoimmunity. One promising approach is to induce self-antigen-specific tolerance, which specifically subdues damaging autoreactivity while otherwise retaining the normal immune responses. In this review, we will discuss hydrogel-based systems for the treatment of autoimmune disease, with a focus on those that target hypersensitivity mechanisms head-on. As the field continues to advance, it will expand the range of therapeutic choices for people coping with autoimmune diseases, providing fresh prospects for better clinical outcomes and improved quality of life.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7254,"journal":{"name":"Advanced drug delivery reviews","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 115395"},"PeriodicalIF":15.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169409X24002175/pdfft?md5=517673f96e3d9ca0d0e237cde85466a0&pid=1-s2.0-S0169409X24002175-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141615671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
