Therapeutic nanocarriers comprising extracellular matrix-inspired peptides and polysaccharides

INTRODUCTION: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is vital for cell and tissue development. Given its importance, extensive work has been conducted to develop biomaterials and drug delivery vehicles that capture features of ECM structure and function.

AREAS COVERED: This review highlights recent developments of ECM-inspired nanocarriers and their exploration for drug and gene delivery applications. Nanocarriers that are inspired by or created from primary components of the ECM (e.g. elastin, collagen, hyaluronic acid (HA), or combinations of these) are explicitly covered. An update on current clinical trials employing elastin-like proteins is also included.

EXPERT OPINION: Novel ECM-inspired nanoscale structures and conjugates continue to be of great interest in the materials science and bioengineering communities. Hyaluronic acid nanocarrier systems in particular are widely employed due to the functional activity of HA in mediating a large number of disease states. In contrast, collagen-like peptide nanocarriers are an emerging drug delivery platform with potential relevance to a myriad of ECM-related diseases, making their continued study most pertinent. Elastin-like peptide nanocarriers have a well-established tolerability and efficacy track record in preclinical analyses that has motivated their recent advancement into the clinical arena.
