Abstract Delivering cargo to the central nervous system (CNS) remains a pharmacological challenge. For infectious diseases such as HIV, CNS acts latent reservoir that is inadequately managed by systemic antiretrovirals (ARTs). ARTs thus cannot eradicate and given infection, patients experience neurological deficits collectively referred “neuroHIV”. Herein, development of bioinspired ionic liquid‐coated nanoparticles (IL‐NPs) for in situ hitchhiking on red blood cells (RBCs) reported, which...

Macrophages play a diverse, key role in many pathologies, including inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular and cancer. However, therapeutic strategies targeting macrophages suffer from systemic off-target toxicity resulting notoriously narrow windows. To address this shortcoming, the development of poly(propylene sulfide)-b-poly(methacrylamidoglucopyranose) [PPS-b-PMAG] diblock copolymer-based nanoparticles (PMAG NPs) capable releasing drug presence reactive oxygen species (ROS) is reported....

Abstract Less than 5% of intravenously-injected nanoparticles (NPs) reach destined sites in the body due to opsonization and immune-based clearance vascular circulation. By hitchhiking situ onto specific blood components post-injection, NPs can selectively target tissue for unprecedentedly high drug delivery rates . Choline carboxylate ionic liquids (ILs) are biocompatible liquid salts <100℃ composed bulky asymmetric cations anions. This class ILs has been previously shown significantly...
