1 Introduction Biocompatible nano-to-microscale particles are desirable in therapeutics given their enhanced drug stability, targeted and sustained delivery, and minimized toxicity [1-3]. The versatile particulate systems can deliver a wide range of compounds from small molecules to proteins and genetic materials that provide flexibility to the treatment of lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [4-6].

1 Introduction As a branch of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering is increasingly recognized as a strategy for addressing organ donor shortages by producing artificial organs or tissues in vitro (Sharma et al. 2019; Hussain et al. 2022). These engineered constructs, such as blood vessels (Chandra and Atala 2019), bones (Guo et al. 2021), and skin (Zhang et al. 2020), are then transplanted in vivo once matured.
