Although significant progress has been made in the development of biomedical micro/nanorobots, how to achieve closed-loop control of them from sensing, memory, and precise trajectory planning to feedback to carry out biomedical tasks remains a challenge. Bacteria with self-propulsion and autonomous intelligence properties are well suited to be engineered as microrobots to achieve closed-loop control for biomedical applications. By virtue of synthetic biology, bacterial microrobots possess an expanded genetic toolbox, allowing them to load input sensors to respond or remember external signals. To achieve accurate control in the complex physiological environment, the development of bacterial microrobots should be matched with the corresponding control system design. In this review, a detailed summary of the sensing and control mechanisms of bacterial microrobots is presented. The engineering and applications of bacterial microrobots in the biomedical field are highlighted.

Yet, their susceptibility to environmental factors, such as light, pH, temperature, and humidity, poses challenges to their stability and sustained release. Microencapsulation offers a promising avenue to address these challenges, facilitating stabilization, targeted delivery, and enhanced efficacy of hydrophilic actives. However, despite significant advancements in the field, microencapsulation of hydrophilic actives remains at the forefront of innovation. This is primarily due to the intrinsic characteristics of hydrophilic actives, including small molecular weight and thus high permeability through many microcarriers (e.g., shells), which often necessitate complex and costly technologies to be developed. Moreover, in light of escalating regulatory frameworks, the pursuit of biodegradable and other compliant materials suitable for the entrapment of hydrophilic ingredients is gaining momentum. These advancements aim to provide alternatives to currently used non-degradable synthetic polymer materials. Research is currently pushing towards meeting these regulatory constraints via cutting-edge technologies to engineer novel microscale delivery systems for hydrophilic active ingredients, including microcapsules, microspheres, microneedles, and micropatches. Although still in its infancy, this approach holds true potential for revolutionizing the future of formulated consumer goods.</p>","PeriodicalId":94267,"journal":{"name":"Wiley interdisciplinary reviews.

However, its application has been limited in improving Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), which represent a profound public health crisis, including major types such as opioid, alcohol, stimulant, and cannabis use disorders. Pharmacotherapy, a cornerstone of SUD management, has reduced morbidity, mortality, and the societal impact of addiction, though its efficacy has ranged from none to moderate. Thus, there is a major unmet need to transform SUD pharmacotherapy to curb the epidemic of addiction. This article explores the potential roles of nanomedicine-inspired precision-targeted drug delivery, sustained release, and combination therapies to increase therapeutic efficacy and minimize side effects. Additionally, it discusses innovative mechanisms that align with the neurobiological complexities of addiction and synergistic approaches that integrate nanomedicine with behavioral interventions, device-based therapies, and emerging modalities such as immunotherapy and neurostimulation. Despite these advancements, barriers such as treatment accessibility, adherence challenges, and inequitable resource distribution persist, particularly in underserved populations. By harnessing the transformative capabilities of nanomedicine and integrating it into holistic, equitable, and personalized care frameworks, this review highlights a path forward to revolutionize the SUD pharmacotherapy landscape. The article underscores the need for continued nano-SUD pharmacotherapy research and the development of strategies to alleviate the substantial burden of addiction on individuals, families, and society.</p>","PeriodicalId":94267,"journal":{"name":"Wiley interdisciplinary reviews.

Immunotherapy is rapidly developing due to its significant differences in the mechanism of action from conventional radiotherapy and targeted antitumor drugs. In the past decades, many biomaterials have been designed and prepared to construct therapeutic platforms that modulate the immune system against cancer. Immunotherapeutic platforms utilizing biomaterials can markedly enhance therapeutic efficacy by optimizing the delivery of therapeutic agents, minimizing drug loss during circulation, and amplifying immunomodulatory effects. The intricate physiological barriers of tumors, coupled with adverse immune environments such as inadequate infiltration, off-target effects, and immunosuppression, have emerged as significant obstacles impeding the effectiveness of oncology drug therapy. However, most of the current studies are devoted to the development of complex immunomodulators that exert immunomodulatory functions by loading drugs or adjuvants, ignoring the complex physiological barriers and adverse immune environments of tumors. Compared with conventional biomaterials, biomimetic nanomaterials based on peptide in situ self-assembly with excellent functional characteristics of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity have emerged as a novel and effective tool for cancer immunotherapy. This article presents a comprehensive review of the latest research findings on biomimetic nanomaterials based on peptide in situ self-assembly in tumor immunotherapy. Initially, we categorize the structural types of biomimetic peptide nanomaterials and elucidate their intrinsic driving forces. Subsequently, we delve into the in situ self-assembly strategies of these peptide biomimetic nanomaterials, highlighting their advantages in immunotherapy.
