Literature Information

Biomolecules perform vital functions in biology. These functional biomolecules with diverse modifications hold great promise for further applications in bioanalysis and cancer therapy. However, these functional biomolecules face challenges, especially in the field of drug delivery for cancer therapy. For example, functional biomolecules are typically unstable when taken up by cells, as they are easily digested by enzymes. To address this obstacle, nanomaterials have been employed as drug carriers or vehicles, which are powerful nanoplatforms for imaging and cancer treatment. Multifunctionality of these nanoplatforms offers great advantages over conventional reagents, including targeting to a diseased site to minimize systemic toxicity, and the ability to solubilize hydrophobic or labile drugs to improved pharmacokinetics. In this review, we summarize typical functional biomolecule-conjugated nanomaterials for targeting drug delivery. Under the appropriate conditions, targeted drug delivery can be achieved from a high density of biomolecules that are bound to the surface of nanomaterials, resulting in a high affinity for the targets. The high density of biomolecules then leads to a high local concentration, being able to prevent degradation by enzymes. Furthermore, biomolecule–nanomaterial conjugates have been identified to enter cells more easily than free biomolecules, and controllable drug release can then be obtained by a response to a stimulus, such as redox, pH, light, thermal, enzyme-trigged strategies. Now and in the future, with the development of artificial biomolecules as well as nanomaterials, targeted drug delivery based on elegant biomolecule–nanomaterial conjugation approaches is expected to achieve great versatility, additional functions, and further advances.

Journal of Materials Chemistry B

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C.
