Summary: Microneedle (MN) patches, made up of miniature needles, have emerged as a promising tool for minimally invasive translocation of biomolecules into the dermis. Stimuli-responsive MN patches are a new drug delivery system that can release cargos in response to internal or external triggers, with various mechanisms of action for different indications. Future opportunities and challenges in clinical translation are also discussed.

Summary: Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are a promising therapeutic modality for tackling undruggable and resistant issues in drug discovery. Researchers have developed a generalized caging strategy to synthesize stimuli-responsive PROTACs (sr-PROTACs) that can be activated and released in response to specific pathological cues and external triggers. These sr-PROTACs showed high solubility, long plasma exposure, and efficient protein degradation in tumor cells, making them potential candidates for personalized treatment and tissue engineering.

Summary: Nanocarriers (NCs) have attracted significant attention for their structural ability, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The development of NCs with stimuli-responsive properties has become a hot topic among scientists. These NCs can deliver drugs to tumors by regulating their pH, temperature, and enzyme responsiveness, thereby improving the accuracy of drug delivery and minimizing side effects. Material carriers for chemotherapeutic medicines are discussed in this review, with a focus on their structural properties and targeting methods that enhance therapeutic efficacy and trigger metabolic pathways. Overall, the development of NCs that respond to endogenous and exogenous stimuli in tumor regions and the understanding of their mechanisms have great potential for advancing tumor therapy and precision diagnosis in the future.

Summary: CO2-responsive materials undergo changes in their properties when CO2 is introduced or removed. CO2 is advantageous as a stimulus due to its abundance, benign nature, affordability, and lack of accumulation in a system. Various CO2-responsive materials such as polymers, latexes, surfactants, and catalysts have been explored. CO2-responsive gels, a subset of CO2-responsive polymers, have unique changes such as swelling or transformed morphology. This paper reviews the preparation, properties, and applications of CO2-responsive gels, including nanogels, microgels, aerogels, and macrogels, and also discusses CO2-induced self-assembled gels.
