    Abstract Liposomes are a highly successful drug delivery system with over 15 FDA-approved formulations. Beyond delivering drugs, lipid and polymer vesicles have successfully been used for diagnostic applications. These applications range from more traditional uses, such as releasing diagnostic agents in a controlled manner, to leveraging the unique membrane properties to separate analytes and provide isolated reaction compartments in complex biological matrices. In this Spotlight on Applications, I highlight the complexities in the development and translation of diagnostic vesicles with two case studies, a liposomal reaction compartment for lactate sensing and a transmembrane pH-gradient polymersome for ammonia sensing.

    Abstract In emergency medicine, blood lactate is a commonly used biomarker of hypoxia (e.g., sepsis, trauma, cardiac arrest) but the median time to obtain the results from a clinical lactate test is 3 h. We recently developed a near-infrared fluorescent blood lactate assay based on a two-step enzymatic cascade in a vesicular reaction compartment. Previously, we reported a response of this assay to lactate-spiked bovine blood after 10 min. To develop a point-of-care test, we optimized this assay in commercial human blood, validated it in fresh capillary blood of healthy volunteers in an institutional review board-approved study, and improved the stability of the formulation. External pH and luminal enzyme concentrations were identified as key parameters of sensor response and kinetics, as they impact transmembrane lactate diffusion and turnover rate. The preparation process was also simplified and the stability was improved to allow storage at 4 °C for at least 5 days. The final formulation exhibited a strong and linear response to lactate-spiked human blood in a clinically relevant range, and accurately quantified a lactate standard at a clinically used cut-off in fresh capillary blood after 2 min. These findings motivate a clinical evaluation of this rapid and easy-to-use lactate assay.

    Abstract Hydrogel-based biomaterials have gained broad acceptance for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. As their function generally depends on their localization, identifying the hydrogel position in the body is relevant and will alert physicians about potentially dangerous hydrogel migration. Monitoring the localization of hydrogels by imaging is challenging due to their high water content. Here, we developed a method to render alginate hydrogels visible on computed tomography (CT) and X-ray for real-time tracking of hydrogels inside the body. This method is based on physically immobilizing emulsion droplets of ethiodized oil, an FDA-approved positive CT contrast agent, in calcium-crosslinked alginate hydrogels. We prepared an oil-in-water emulsion of ethiodized oil with micron-sized emulsion droplets and encapsulated it in a calcium-crosslinked alginate hydrogel. This injectable in situ-forming hydrogel was stable for at least 2 weeks in vitro, visible on CT and X-ray in mice, and showed contrast agent concentration-dependent signal intensities. Hydrogels retrieved from mice after imaging had suitable rheological properties with a storage modulus of about 2 kPa and a loss modulus of about 0.35 kPa. This proof-of-concept study highlights the potential of ethiodized oil to localize hydrogels in real time inside the body and identifies a new use of this FDA-approved contrast agent.

    Abstract In sepsis, plasma lactate is a key biomarker of disease severity, prognosis, and treatment success. However, the median time to result for clinical lactate tests is 3 h. We recently reported a near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) blood lactate assay that relies on a two-step enzymatic reaction in a liposomal reaction compartment. This assay was optimized in human blood and was capable of quantifying lactate in fresh capillary blood from human volunteers at clinically relevant concentrations in 2 min. However, these studies were performed with a tabletop fluorescence plate reader. For translation to the point of care, the liposomal lactate assay needs to be combined with a small portable NIR fluorometer. Portable NIR fluorometers were successfully used for the analysis of skin and soil samples, but reports for blood metabolite assays are scarce. We aimed at testing the performance of the liposomal lactate assay in combination with a commercial small portable NIR fluorometer. First, we tested the fluorophore of the liposomal lactate assay using the NIR dye sulfo-cyanine 7; we observed strong fluorescence signals and high linearity. Second, we performed the liposomal lactate assay in lactate-spiked human arterial blood using the portable fluorometer as the detector and observed strong and highly linear lactate sensing at clinically relevant lactate concentrations after 2 min. Finally, spiking fresh mouse blood with three clinically relevant lactate concentrations led to a significantly different response to all three concentrations after 5 min. These results highlight the usefulness of the tested portable NIR fluorometer for the liposomal lactate assay and motivate a clinical evaluation of this rapid and easy-to-use lactate assay.

    Abstract Bilirubin was first detected in blood in 1847 and since then has become one of the most widely used biomarkers for liver disease. Clinical routine bilirubin testing is performed at the hospital laboratory, and the gold standard colorimetric test is prone to interferences. The absence of a bedside test for bilirubin delays critical clinical decisions for patients with liver disease. This clinical care gap has motivated the development of a new generation of bioengineered point-of-care bilirubin assays. In this Perspective, recently developed bilirubin assays are critically discussed, and their translational potential evaluated.

    Abstract Skin injuries across the body continue to disrupt everyday life for millions of patients and result in prolonged hospital stays, infection, and death. Advances in wound healing devices have improved clinical practice but have mainly focused on treating macroscale healing versus underlying microscale pathophysiology. Consensus is lacking on optimal treatment strategies using a spectrum of wound healing products, which has motivated the design of new therapies. We summarize advances in the development of novel drug, biologic products, and biomaterial therapies for wound healing for marketed therapies and those in clinical trials. We also share perspectives for successful and accelerated translation of novel integrated therapies for wound healing.
