Abstract
The recent progress on controlled-release drug delivery systems with cyclodextrins as functional groups and their applications in nanomedicine are reviewed. As one of the most famous supramolecular host candidates, cyclodextrins with small guest molecules are extensively employed in controlled-release drug delivery systems in nanomedicine fields. The host-guest interactions between cyclodextrins and the guest molecules can be triggered by various stimulations, including temperature, light, pH, etc. In this review, we will focus on the cyclodextrinbased controlled-release systems mainly triggered by light. The comparison between photoresponsive and other controlled-release drug delivery systems is also discussed.
Keywords: Photochemistry, cyclodextrin, stimuli-responsive, drug delivery, controlled-release, polymer, mesoporous silica, hydrogel.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
