Since 2012 Advanced Healthcare Materials has been bringing you the latest breakthroughs in biomedical materials science with a strong focus on improving human health. It will continue to do so in 2018. We have therefore launched virtual issues on five hot topics in the field, where you can access some of our best recent papers free of charge!

Biomaterials functionalized with nano‐scale drug carriers exhibit excellent biological properties. A novel design by Min‐Xuan Xu, Jun Tan, and co‐workers, highlights the latest advanced approach regarding the multicombination drug delivery for the chemoprevention of septicemia‐associated acute hepatic failure. The multifunctional nanoparticles can effectively suppress septicemia, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and corresponding fatal hepatic injury by inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation.
mRNA Delivery System for Targeting Antigen‐Presenting Cells In Vivo
by Cristina Fornaguera, Marta Guerra‐Rebollo, Miguel Ángel Lázaro, Cristina Castells‐Sala, Oscar Meca‐Cortés, Victor Ramos‐Pérez, Anna Cascante, Núria Rubio, Jerónimo Blanco and Salvador Borrós
The study by Salvador Borrós and co‐workers takes advantage of the known versatile properties of the oligopeptide end‐modified poly (β‐amino esters) (OM‐PBAEs) to complex mRNA and form nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that the selection of the appropriate end‐oligopeptide modifications enables the specific targeting and major transfection of antigen‐presenting cells (APC) in vivo, after intravenous administered.
