Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been a growing emphasis on investigating the role of immunotherapy in cancer treatment. However, it faces challenges such as limited efficacy, a diminished response rate, and serious adverse effects. Nanozymes, a subset of nanomaterials, demonstrate boundless potential in cancer catalytic therapy for their tunable activity, enhanced stability, and cost-effectiveness. By selectively targeting the metabolic vulnerabilities of tumors, they can effectively intensify the destruction of tumor cells and promote the release of antigenic substances, thereby eliciting immune clearance responses and impeding tumor progression. Combined with other therapies, they synergistically enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy. Hence, a large number of metabolism-regulating nanozymes with synergistic immunotherapeutic effects have been developed. This review summarizes recent advancements in cancer immunotherapy facilitated by nanozymes, focusing on engineering nanozymes to potentiate antitumor immune responses by disturbing tumor metabolism and performing synergistic treatment. The challenges and prospects in this field are outlined. We aim to provide guidance for nanozyme-mediated immunotherapy and pave the way for achieving durable tumor eradication.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a transformative paradigm in the realm of reactive oxygen species -mediated cancer therapies, exhibiting its potential as a sophisticated strategy for precise and effective tumor treatment. CDT primarily relies on metal ions and hydrogen peroxide to initiate Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, generating cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals. Its notable advantages in cancer treatment are demonstrated, including tumor specificity, autonomy from external triggers, and a favorable side-effect profile. Recent advancements in nanomedicine are devoted to enhancing CDT, promising a comprehensive optimization of CDT efficacy. This review systematically elucidates cutting-edge achievements in chemodynamic nanotherapeutics, exploring strategies for enhanced Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, improved tumor microenvironment modulation, and precise regulation in energy metabolism. Moreover, a detailed analysis of diverse CDT-mediated combination therapies is provided. Finally, the review concludes with a comprehensive discussion of the prospects and intrinsic challenges to the application of chemodynamic nanotherapeutics in the domain of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-driven chemodynamic therapy has emerged as a promising anti-tumor strategy. However, the insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) supply in tumor microenvironment results in a low Fenton reaction rate and subsequently poor ROS production and therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report on a new nanocomposite MIL-53@ZIF-67/S loaded with doxorubicin and glucose oxidase, which is decomposed under the acidic tumor microenvironment to release Fe3+, Co3+, glucose oxidase, and doxorubicin. The released content leads to synergistic anti-tumor effect through the following manners: 1) doxorubicin is directly used for chemotherapy; 2) Fe3+and Co3+ result in glutathione depletion and Fenton reaction activation through Fe2+ and Co2+ generation to achieve chemodynamic therapy; 3) glucose oxidase continuously catalyzes glucose consumption to induce starvation of the cancer cells, and 4) at the same time the produced gluconic acid and H2O2 significantly promote Fenton reaction and further boost chemodynamic therapy. This work not only demonstrates the high anti-tumor effect of the new nanocomposite, but also provides an innovative strategy for the development of a multi-in-one nanoplatform for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Effectively and completely eliminating residual tumor cells is the key to reducing the risk of tumor metastasis and recurrence. Designing an "ideal" nanoplatform for programmable cancer therapy has great prospects for completely eliminating residual tumor cells. Herein, an intelligent nanoplatform of disulfiram (DSF)-loaded CuS-tannic acid nanohexahedrons (denoted as "DSF-CuS@TA") with thermal- and pH-sensitive degradation, as well as near-infrared (NIR-II) phototherapeutics properties, was constructed. And then, it was employed for in situ DSF toxification activation programmable "triple attack" cancer therapy. After accumulating in the tumor, DSF-CuS@TA first releases the loaded Cu(DTC)2, and simultaneously degrades and releases Cu2+ and DSF under mildly acidic stimulation to trigger instant intratumoral Cu(DTC)2 chelation, thereby achieving the "first strike." Next, under irradiation by a NIR-II laser, light energy is converted into heat to generate NIR-II photothermal therapy, thereby achieving the second strike. Subsequently, under thermal stimulation, DSF-CuS@TA degrades further, triggering the chelation of Cu(DTC)2 for a second time to reach the third strike. As expected, in vitro and in vivo studies showed that the synergistic integration of DSF-based programmed chemotherapy and NIR-II phototherapeutics could achieve effective tumor removal. Therefore, we propose a novel type of programmed therapy against cancer by designing a nanoplatform via "nontoxicity-to-toxicity" chemical chelation transformation.

Abstract
Cells can sense the mechanical stimulation of nanoparticles (NPs) and then regulate the cellular uptake process. The enhanced endocytosis efficiency can improve the concentration of NPs in tumor cells significantly, which is the key prerequisite for achieving efficient biological performance. However, the preparation methods of NPs with flexible and tunable stiffness are relatively limited, and the impact of stiffness property on their interaction with tumor cells remains unclear. In this study, soft liquid metal (LM) core was coated with hard silica layer, the obtained core-shell NPs with a wide range of Young's modulus (130.5 ± 25.6 MPa - 1729.2 ± 146.7 MPa) were prepared by adjusting the amount of silica. It was found that the NPs with higher stiffness exhibited superior cellular uptake efficiency and lysosomal escape ability compared to the NPs with lower stiffness. The silica layer not only affected the stiffness, but also improved the photothermal stability of the LM NPs. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that the NPs with higher stiffness displayed significantly enhanced tumor hyperthermia capability. This work may provide a paradigm for the preparation of NPs with varying stiffness and offer insights into the role of the mechanical property of NPs in their delivery.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-centered chemodynamic therapy (CDT) holds significant potential for tumor-specific treatment. However, insufficient endogenous H2O2 and extra glutathione within tumor microenvironment (TME) severely deteriorate the CDT's effectiveness. Herein, rich-Zn-Co3O4/N-doped porous carbon (Zn-Co3O4/NC) was fabricated by two-step pyrolysis, and applied to build high-efficiency nano-platform for synergistic cancer therapy upon combination with glucose oxidase (GOx), labeled Zn-Co3O4/NC-GOx for clarity. Specifically, the multiple enzyme-like activities of the Zn-Co3O4/NC were scrutinously investigated, including peroxidase-like activity to convert H2O2 to O2∙-, catalase-like activity to decompose H2O2 into O2, and oxidase-like activity to transform O2 to O2∙-, which achieved the CDT through the catalytic cascade reaction. Simultaneously, GOx reacted with intracellular glucose to produce gluconic acid and H2O2, realizing starvation therapy. In the acidic TME, the Zn-Co3O4/NC-GOx rapidly caused intracellular Zn2+ pool overload and disrupted cellular homeostasis for ion-intervention therapy. Additionally, the Zn-Co3O4/NC exhibited glutathione peroxidase-like activity, which consumed glutathione in tumor cells and reduced the ROS consumption for ferroptosis. The tumor treatments offer some constructive insights into the nanozyme-mediated catalytic medicine, coupled by avoiding the TME limitations.

Abstract
Background: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is recognized as a promising cancer treatment. Recently, copper sulfide nanostructures have been extensively employed as Fenton-like reagents that catalyze the formation of acutely toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, CDT therapeutic potency is restricted by the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as insufficient amounts of hydrogen peroxide, excessive glutathione levels, etc. To address these disadvantages, glucose oxidase (GOx) or catalase (CAT) can be utilized to enhance CDT, while low therapeutic efficacy still inhibits their future applications. Our previous study revealed that mild photothermal effect could boost the CDT catalytic effectiveness as well as GOx enzyme activity over a range. Results: We engineered and constructed a hollow CuS nanoplatform loaded with GOx and CAT, coating with macrophage membranes (M@GOx-CAT@CuS NPs). The nanoplatforms allowed enhancement of the reactive oxygen species creation rate and GOx catalytic activeness of CDT through mild phototherapy directed by photoacoustic imaging. After actively targeting vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in cancer cells mediated by macrophage membrane coating, M@GOx-CAT@CuS NPs released GOx and CAT under near-infrared irradiation. GOx catalyzed the formation of H2O2 and gluconic acid with glucose, creating a better catalytic environment for CDT. Meanwhile, CAT-catalyzed H2O2 decomposition to generate sufficient oxygen, appropriately alleviating the oxygen shortage in the TME. In addition, starvation effects decreased adenosine triphosphate levels and further underregulated heat shock protein expression to reduce the heat resistance of tumor cells, resulting in a better mild phototherapy outcome. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the newly developed M@GOx-CAT@CuS nanoplatform has remarkable synergistic anticancer therapeutic effects. Conclusion: The cascade reaction-enhanced biomimetic nanoplatform opens up a new avenue for precision tumor diagnostic and therapeutic research.

Abstract
Nanozymes, as nanomaterials with natural enzyme activities, have been widely applied to deliver various therapeutic agents to synergistically combat the progression of malignant tumors. However, currently common inorganic nanozyme-based drug delivery systems still face challenges such as suboptimal biosafety, inadequate stability, and inferior tumor selectivity. Herein, a super-stable amino acid-based metallo-supramolecular nanoassembly (FPIC NPs) with peroxidase (POD)- and glutathione oxidase (GSHOx)-like activities was fabricated via Pt4+-driven coordination co-assembly of l-cysteine derivatives, the chemotherapeutic drug curcumin (Cur), and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG). The superior POD- and GSHOx-like activities could not only catalyze the decomposition of endogenous hydrogen peroxide into massive hydroxyl radicals, but also deplete the overproduced glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells to weaken intracellular antioxidant defenses. Meanwhile, FPIC NPs would undergo degradation in response to GSH to specifically release Cur, causing efficient mitochondrial damage. In addition, FPIC NPs intrinsically enable fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging to visualize tumor accumulation of encapsulated ICG in real time, thereby determining an appropriate treatment time point for tumoricidal photothermal (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT). In vitro and in vivo findings demonstrated the quadruple orchestration of catalytic therapy, chemotherapeutics, PTT, and PDT offers conspicuous antineoplastic effects with minimal side reactions. This work may provide novel ideas for designing supramolecular nanoassemblies with multiple enzymatic activities and therapeutic functions, allowing for wider applications of nanozymes and nanoassemblies in biomedicine.

Abstract
Novel strategies utilizing light in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II; 900-1,880 nm wavelengths) offer the potential to visualize and treat solid tumours with enhanced precision. Over the past few decades, numerous techniques leveraging NIR-II light have been developed with the aim of precisely eliminating tumours while maximally preserving organ function. During cancer surgery, NIR-II optical imaging enables the visualization of clinically occult lesions and surrounding vital structures with increased sensitivity and resolution, thereby enhancing surgical quality and improving patient prognosis. Furthermore, the use of NIR-II light promises to improve cancer phototherapy by enabling the selective delivery of increased therapeutic energy to tissues at greater depths. Initial clinical studies of NIR-II-based imaging and phototherapy have indicated impressive potential to decrease cancer recurrence, reduce complications and prolong survival. Despite the encouraging results achieved, clinical translation of innovative NIR-II techniques remains challenging and inefficient; multidisciplinary cooperation is necessary to bridge the gap between preclinical research and clinical practice, and thus accelerate the translation of technical advances into clinical benefits. In this Review, we summarize the available clinical data on NIR-II-based imaging and phototherapy, demonstrating the feasibility and utility of integrating these technologies into the treatment of cancer. We also introduce emerging NIR-II-based approaches with substantial potential to further enhance patient outcomes, while also highlighting the challenges associated with imminent clinical studies of these modalities.

Abstract
Intravesical instillation is the common therapeutic strategy for bladder cancer. Besides chemo drugs, nanoparticles are used as intravesical instillation reagents, offering appealing therapeutic approaches for bladder cancer treatment. Metal oxide nanoparticle based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) converts tumor intracellular hydrogen peroxide to ROS with cancer cell-specific toxicity, which makes it a promising approach for the intravesical instillation of bladder cancer. However, the limited penetration of nanoparticle based therapeutic agents into the mucosa layer of the bladder wall poses a great challenge for the clinical application of CDT in intravesical instillation. Herein, we developed a 1064 nm NIR-II light driven hydrogel nanomotor for the CDT for bladder cancer via intravesical instillation. The hydrogel nanomotor was synthesized via microfluidics, wrapped with a lipid bilayer, and encapsulates CuO2 nanoparticles as a CDT reagent and core-shell structured Fe3O4@Cu9S8 nanoparticles as a fuel reagent with asymmetric distribution in the nanomotor (LipGel-NM). An NIR-II light irradiation of 1064 nm drives the active motion of LipGel-NMs, thus facilitating their distribution in the bladder and deep penetration into the mucosa layer of the bladder wall. After FA-mediated endocytosis in bladder cancer cells, CuO2 is released from LipGel-NMs due to the acidic intracellular environment for CDT. The NIR-II light powered active motion of LipGel-NMs effectively enhances CDT, providing a promising strategy for bladder cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanodynamic therapy (NDT) exerts its anti-tumor effect by activating nanosensitizers to generate large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumor cells. NDT enhances tumor-specific targeting and selectivity by leveraging the tumor microenvironment (TME) and mechanisms that boost anti-tumor immune responses. It also minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues and enhances cytotoxicity in tumor cells, showing promise in cancer treatment, with significant potential. This review covers the research progress in five major nanodynamic therapies: photodynamic therapy (PDT), electrodynamic therapy (EDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), radiodynamic therapy (RDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), emphasizing the significant role of advanced nanotechnology in the development of NDT for anti-tumor purposes. The mechanisms, effects, and challenges faced by these NDTs are discussed, along with their respective solutions for enhancing anti-tumor efficacy, such as pH response, oxygen delivery, and combined immunotherapy. Finally, this review briefly addresses challenges in the clinical translation of NDT.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a particular oncological therapeutic strategy by generates the highly toxic hydroxyl radical (•OH) from the dismutation of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. However, single CDT therapies have been limited by unsatisfactory efficacy. Enhanced chemodynamic therapy (ECDT) triggered by near-infrared (NIR) is a novel therapeutic modality based on light energy to improve the efficiency of Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. However, the limited penetration and imaging capability of the visible (400-650 nm) and traditional NIR-I region (650-900 nm) light-amplified CDT restrict the prospects for its clinical application. Combined with the high penetration/high precision imaging characteristics of the second near-infrared (NIR-II,) nanoplatform, it is expected to kill deep tumors efficiently while imaging the treatment process in real-time, and more notably, the NIR-II region radiation with wavelengths above 1000 nm can minimize the irradiation damage to normal tissues. Such NIR-II ECDT nanoplatforms have greatly improved the effectiveness of CDT therapy and demonstrated extraordinary potential for clinical applications. Accordingly, various strategies have been explored in the past years to improve the efficiency of NIR-II Enhanced CDT. In this review, the mechanisms and strategies used to improve the performance of NIR-II-enhanced CDT are outlined.

Int J Pharm 2024; 652:123811.

Abstract
Nanoformulations for combining chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, and photothermal therapy have enormous potential in tumor treatment. Coating nanoformulations with cell membranes endows them with homologous cellular mimicry, enabling nanoformulations to acquire new functions and properties, including homologous targeting and long circulation in vivo, and can enhance internalization by homologous cancer cells. Herein, we fused multifunctional biomimetic nanoformulations based on Cu-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT), a clinical anti-tumor drug, was encapsulated into ZIF-8, which was subsequently coated with polydopamine (PDA) and red blood cell membrane. The as-fabricated biomimetic nanoformulations showed an enhanced cell uptake in vitro and the potential to prolong blood circulation in vivo, producing effective synergistic chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, and photothermal therapy under the 808 nm laser irradiation. Together, the biomimetic nanoformulations showed a prolonged blood circulation and evasion of immune recognition in vivo to provide a bio-inspired strategy which may have the potential for the multi-synergistic therapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
The reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced through the Fenton reaction, induces lipid peroxide (LPO), causing cellular structural damage and ultimately triggering ferroptosis. However, the generation of ROS in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is limited by the catalytic efficiency of the Fenton reaction. Herein, a novel hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticle (HMSN) combined with multi-metal sulfide-doped mesoporous silica nanocatalyzers (NCs) was developed, namely MxSy-HMSN NCs (M represents Cu Mn and Fe, S denotes sulfur). The MxSy-HMSN can dramatically enhanced the ferroptosis by: (1) facilitating the conversion of H2O2 to ·OH through Fenton or Fenton-like reactions through co-catalysis; (2) weakening ROS scavenging systems by depleting the over expressed glutathione (GSH) in TME; (3) providing exceptional photothermal therapy to augment ferroptosis. The MxSy-HMSN can also act as smart cargos for anticancer drug-doxorubicin (DOX). The release of DOX is responsive to GSH/pH/Near-infrared Light (NIR) irradiation at the tumor lesion, significantly improving therapeutic outcomes while minimizing side effects. Additionally, the MxSy-HMSN has demonstrated excellent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) potential. This smart MxSy-HMSN offer a synergetic approach combining ferroptosis with chemo-photothermal therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnose, which could be an informative guideline for the design of future NCs.

Acta Biomater 2024; 174:358-371.

Abstract
The immune system's role in tumor growth and spread has led to the importance of activating immune function in tumor therapy. We present a strategy using an M1-type macrophage membrane-camouflaged ferrous-supply-regeneration nanoplatform (M1mDDTF) to synergistically reinforce immunogenic cell death (ICD) and transform tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) against tumors. The M1mDDTF nanoparticles consist of doxorubicin-loaded dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles chelated with FeIII-tannic acid (FeIIITA) and coated with M1-type macrophage membranes. In the acidic tumor microenvironment, FeIIITA releases Fe2+ and generates ·OH, aided by near infrared irradiation for enhanced doxorubicin release. Furthermore, the M1mDDTF nanoplatform not only directly kills tumor cells but stimulates ICD, which can increase the proportion of CD86+ CD80+ cells and promote dendritic cell maturation. Particularly, the M1mDDTF nanoplatform can also promote the gradual polarization of TAMs into the M1-type and promote tumor cell killing. This study demonstrates the safety and multifunctionality of M1mDDTF nanoparticles, highlighting their potential for clinical tumor treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Malignant tumors are a global concern and a major cause of death. Nanoparticles' passive targeting is ineffective and hindered by reticuloendothelial system clearance. Therefore, enhancing nanoparticle accumulation in tumors while minimizing toxicity is a challenge. Coating nanoparticles with cell membranes enhances biocompatibility, immune evasion, and specific targeting. This approach has led to the development of numerous cell membrane-mimicking nanomaterials with remarkable properties and functions. This study developed an M1-type macrophage membrane-camouflaged ferrous-supply-regeneration nanoplatform, boosting immunogenic cell death and transforming tumor-associated macrophages. Tannic acid in the tumor microenvironment reduced Fe3+ to Fe2+, generating ·OH. M1mDDTF nanosystem induced M1-type macrophage polarization, inhibiting tumor growth and triggering immune cell death. Safe and versatile, these M1mDDTF nanoparticles hold promise for clinical tumor treatment.

Glucose-responsive enzymatic biomimetic nanodots for H 2O 2 self-supplied catalytic photothermal/chemodynamic anticancer therapy. Acta Biomater 2023; 172:441-453.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) combined with chemodynamic therapy (CDT) presents an appealing complementary anti-tumor strategy, wherein PTT accelerates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in CDT and CDT eliminates residual tumor tissues that survive from PTT treatment. However, nanomaterials utilized in PTT/CDT are limited by non-specific damage to the entire organism. Herein, a glucose-responsive enzymatic Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx nanodot is judiciously designed for tumor-specific PTT/CDT via a simple and clean protein-templated biomimetic mineralization synthesis. By oxidizing glucose in tumor cells, glucose oxidase (GOx) activates glucose-responsive tumor therapy and increases the concentration of H2O2 at the tumor site. More importantly, the self-supplied peroxide hydrogen (H2O2) can convert ABTS (2,2'-Hydrazine-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diamine salt) into oxidized ABTS (oxABTS) through horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalysis for PTT and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. Furthermore, the Fe2+ arising from the reduction of Fe3+ by overexpressed GSH reacts with H2O2 to generate intensely reactive •OH through the Fenton reaction, concurrently depleting GSH and inducing efficient tumor CDT. The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate superior cancer cell killing and tumor eradication effect of Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx nanodot under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Collectively, the nanodots provide mutually reinforcing catalytic PTT/CDT anti-tumor strategies for treating liver cancer and potentially other malignancies. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Combinatorial antitumor therapy with nanomedicines presents great prospects for development. However, the limitation of non-specific damage to normal tissues hinders its further clinical application. In this work, we fabricated tumor-selective biomimetic Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx nanodots for H2O2 self-supplied catalytic photothermal/chemodynamic therapy of tumors. The biomimetic synthesis strategy provides the nanodots with enzymatic activity in response to glucose to produce H2O2. The self-supplied H2O2 initiates photothermal therapy with oxidized ABTS and enhances chemodynamic therapy through simultaneous •OH generation and GSH depletion. Our work provides a new paradigm for developing tumor-selective catalytic nanomedicines and will guide further clinical translation of the enzymatic biomimetic synthesis strategy.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are found in many solid tumors, which play decisive roles in the occurrence, recurrence and metastasis of tumors. However, drugs are difficult to kill CSCs due to their limited number and location in oxygen-deprived tissue far from the blood vessels. Meanwhile, the survival and stemness maintenance of CSCs strongly depend on the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we developed a CD44 antibody modified iridium nanosheet with enzyme-like activity (defined as Ir Nts-Ab) that effectively eradicates CSCs for cancer therapy. We observe that Ir Nts-Ab can enrich tumor tissues to remove excessive reactive oxygen species and produce oxygen, thus alleviating hypoxia and the inflammatory TME to reduce the proportion of CSCs and inhibit metastasis. In addition, Ir Nts-Ab targets CSCs and normal cancer cells with near infrared II-region photothermal therapy (NIR-II PTT), and is easily taken up by CSCs due to recognition of the CD44 proteins. Moreover, photoacoustic imaging helps monitor drug accumulation and hypoxic TME improvement in tumor tissue. Importantly, Ir Nts-Ab has good biological safety, making it suitable for biomedical applications. This iridium nanozyme based on TME regulation as well as NIR-II PTT will be a promising strategy for the treatment of cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are key factors that make tumors difficult to eradicate, and strongly depend on the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME), which plays a crucial role in the occurrence and metastasis of tumors. Herein, an antibody modified iridium nanosheet (definition as Ir Nts-Ab) was developed for targeted eradication of CSCs by photoacoustic imaging guided photothermal therapy (PTT) and TME regulation. Ir Nts-Ab with catalase-like activity could inhibit HIF-1α by producing oxygen, thus effectively reducing the proportion of CSCs and inhibiting tumor metastasis. Additionally, Ir Nts-Ab achieved the eradication of CSCs by PTT, and eliminated reactive oxygen species to decrease the inflammatory response, resulting in reduced tumor metastasis, which was promising for the cure of solid tumors in the clinics.

Abstract
Massive efforts have been concentrated on the advance of eminent near-infrared (NIR) photothermal materials (PTMs) in the NIR-II window (1000-1700 nm), especially organic PTMs because of their intrinsic biological safety compared with inorganic PTMs. However, so far, only a few NIR-II-responsive organic PTMs was explored, and their photothermal conversion efficiencies (PCEs) still remain relatively low. Herein, donor-acceptor conjugated diradical polymers with open-shell characteristics are explored for synergistically photothermal immunotherapy of metastatic tumors in the NIR-II window. By employing side-chain regulation, the conjugated diradical polymer TTB-2 with obvious NIR-II absorption was developed, and its nanoparticles realize a record-breaking PCE of 87.7% upon NIR-II light illustration. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that TTB-2 nanoparticles show good tumor photoablation with navigation of photoacoustic imaging in the NIR-II window, without any side-effect. Moreover, by combining with PD-1 antibody, the pulmonary metastasis of breast cancer is high-effectively prevented by the efficient photo-immunity effect. Thus, this study explores superior PTMs for cancer metastasis theranostics in the NIR-II window, offering a new horizon in developing radical-characteristic NIR-II photothermal materials.

Abstract
Cancer has always posed a significant threat to human health, prompting extensive research into new treatment strategies due to the limitations of traditional therapies. Starvation therapy (ST) has garnered considerable attention by targeting the primary energy source, glucose, utilized by cancer cells for proliferation. Glucose oxidase (GOx), a catalyst facilitating glucose consumption, has emerged as a critical therapeutic agent for ST. However, mono ST alone struggles to completely suppress tumor growth, necessitating the development of synergistic therapy approaches. Metal catalysts possess enzyme-like functions and can serve as carriers, capable of combining with GOx to achieve diverse tumor treatments. However, ensuring enzyme activity preservation in normal tissue and activation specifically within tumors presents a crucial challenge. Nanodelivery systems offer the potential to enhance therapy effectiveness by improving the stability of therapeutic agents and enabling controlled release. This review primarily focuses on recent advances in the mechanism of GOx combined with metal catalysts for synergistic tumor therapy. Furthermore, it discusses various nanoparticles (NPs) constructs designed for synergistic therapy in different carrier categories. Finally, this review provides a summary of GOx-metal catalyst-based NPs (G-M) and offers insights into the challenges associated with G-M therapy, delivery design, and oxygen (O2) supply.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis may result in both cartilage and subchondral bone damage. It is a significant challenge to simultaneously repair cartilage due to the distinct biological properties between cartilage and bone. Here, strontium copper tetrasilicate/β-tricalcium phosphate (Wesselsite[SrCuSi4O10]/Ca3(PO4)2, WES-TCP) composite scaffolds with different WES contents (1, 2, and 4 wt %) were fabricated via a three-dimensional (3D) printing method for the osteochondral regeneration. The physicochemical properties and biological activities of the scaffolds were systematically investigated. 2WES-TCP (WES-TCP with 2 wt % WES) composite scaffolds not only improved the compressive strength but also enhanced the proliferation of both rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and chondrocytes, as well as their differentiation. The in vivo study further confirmed that WES-TCP scaffolds significantly promoted the regeneration of both bone and cartilage tissue in rabbit osteochondral defects compared with pure TCP scaffolds owing to the sustained and controlled release of bioactive ions (Si, Cu, and Sr) from bioactive scaffolds. These results show that 3D-printed WES-TCP scaffolds with bilineage bioactivities take full advantage of the bifunctional properties of bioceramics to reconstruct the complex osteochondral interface, which broadens the approach to engineering therapeutic platforms for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-involved tumor therapeutic strategy, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), has attracted extensive research interest in the scientific community. However, the therapeutic effect of CDT is insufficient and unsustainable owing to the limited endogenous H2 O2 level in the tumor microenvironment. Here, peroxidase (POD)-like RuTe2 nanozyme with the immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and allochroic 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) molecule have been synthesized to construct RuTe2 -GOx-TMB nanoreactors (RGT NRs) as cascade reaction systems for tumor-specific and self-replenishing cancer therapy. GOx in sequential nanocatalysts can effectively deplete glucose in tumor cells. Meanwhile, a sustainable supply of H2 O2 for subsequent Fenton-like reactions catalyzed by RuTe2 nanozyme is achieved in response to the mild acidic tumor microenvironment. Through this cascade reaction, highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) are produced, which can further oxidize TMB to trigger tumor-specific "turn-on" photothermal therapy (PTT). In addition, PTT and massive ROS can stimulate the tumor immune microenvironment and activate the systematic anti-tumor immune responses, exerting a notable effect on hindering tumor recurrence and metastasis. This study paves a promising paradigm for synergistic starvation therapy, PTT, and CDT cancer therapy with high efficiency.

Abstract
The in-situ generation of therapeutic agents in targeted lesions is promising for revolutionizing oncotherapy but is limited by the low production efficiency. Given the specific tumor microenvironment (TME) of colorectal cancer (CRC), i.e., mild acidity, overexpressed H2O2, glutathione (GSH) and H2S, we develop phycocyanin (PC) encapsulated PZTC/SS/HA nanocapsules (NCs) for TME-responsive, protein-assisted "turn-on'' therapy of CRC. The NCs are prepared by sequentially assembling Cu2+-tannic acid (TA) coordination shell, disulfide bond-bearing cross-linker, and hyaluronic acid (HA) on the sacrificial template ZIF-8, thus achieving pH-, GSH-responsiveness, and tumor targeting capability, respectively. Once reaching the CRC sites, the NCs can quickly disintegrate and release Cu2+ and PC, accompanied by subsequent endogenous H2S-triggered generation of copper sulfide (CuS). Significantly, the intracellular sulfidation process can be accelerated by PC, thereby enabling efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) under NIR-Ⅱ laser. Besides, Cu2+-associated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can be simultaneously activated and enhanced by PTT-induced local hyperthermia and disulfide bond-induced GSH consumption. This CRC-targeted and TME-activated synergistic PTT/CDT strategy displays high therapeutic efficacy both in vitro and in vivo, which can open up a new avenue for biomolecule-assisted in-situ nanoagent generation and effective TME-responsive synergistic treatment of CRC.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults with poor prognosis. Current clinical treatment for glioma includes surgical resection along with chemoradiotherapy. However, the therapeutic efficacy is still unsatisfactory. The invasive nature of the glioma makes it impossible to completely resect it. The presence of blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks chemotherapeutic drugs access to brain parenchyma for glioma treatment. Besides, tumor heterogeneity and hypoxic tumor microenvironment remarkably limit the efficacy of radiotherapy. With rapid advances of nanotechnology, the emergence of a new treatment approach, namely, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based nanotherapy, provides an effective approach for eliminating glioma via generating large amounts of ROS in glioma cells. In addition, the emerging nanotechnology also provides BBB-crossing strategies, which allows effective ROS-based nanotherapy of glioma. In this review, we summarized ROS-based nanomedicine and their application in glioma treatment, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), radiation therapy, etc. Moreover, the current challenges and future prospects of ROS-based nanomedicine are also elucidated with the intention to accelerate its clinical translation.

Abstract
Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is considered a conservative treatment for preserving pulp viability in caries-induced dental pulp infections. However, bacterial contamination negatively affects dentine-pulp complex repair. The common capping materials show limited antimicrobial effects against some microorganisms. To improve the VPT efficacy, capping materials with increased antibacterial properties and enhanced odontogenic and angiogenic activities are needed. Herein, a SrCuSi4 O10 /gelatin methacrylate(SC/Gel) composite hydrogel has been proposed for infected dental pulp treatment. SrCuSi4 O10 (SC) is a microscale bioceramic composed of assembled multilayered nanosheets that possesses good near-infrared photothermal conversion ability and multiple bioactivities due to sustained Sr2+ , Cu2+ , and SiO3 2- ion release. It is shown that the SC/Gel composite hydrogel efficiently eliminates Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus casei and inhibits biofilm formation under photothermal heating, while the ion extract from SC promotes odontogenesis of rat dental pulp stem cells and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The as-designed therapeutic effect of SC/Gel composite hydrogel-mediated VPT has been proven in a rat dental pulp infection model and yielded improved dentine-pulp complex repair compared with the commercially used iRoot® BP Plus. This study suggests that the SC/Gel composite hydrogel is a potential pulp-capping material with improved effects on dentine-pulp complex repair in infected pulp.

Abstract
Cascade hydroxyl radical generating hydrogel reactor structures including a chemotherapeutic agent are invented for multiple treatment of breast cancer. Glucose oxidase (GOx) and cupric sulfate (Cu) are introduced for transforming accumulated glucose (in cancer cells) to hydroxyl radicals for starvation/chemodynamic therapy. Cu may also suppress cancer cell growth via cuproptosis-mediated cell death. Berberine hydrochloride (BER) is engaged as a chemotherapeutic agent in the hydrogel reactor for combining with starvation/chemodynamic/cuproptosis therapeutic modalities. Moreover, Cu is participated as a gel crosslinker by coordinating with catechol groups in hyaluronic acid-dopamine (HD) polymer. Controlling viscoelasticity of hydrogel reactor can extend the retention time following local injection and provide sustained drug release patterns. Low biodegradation rate of designed HD/BER/GOx/Cu hydrogel can reduce dosing frequency in local cancer therapy and avoid invasiveness-related inconveniences. Especially, it is anticipated that HD/BER/GOx/Cu hydrogel system can be applied for reducing size of breast cancer prior to surgery as well as tumor growth suppression in clinical application.

Abstract
Traditional treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still lack effectiveness. Recently, the combined mode of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) has shown great potential against HCC. However, insufficient Fenton reaction rates and hyperthermia-induced heat shock responses greatly impair their efficiency, hindering their further clinical application. Here, we constructed a cascade-amplified PTT/CDT nanoplatform by coating an IR780-embedded red blood cell membrane on glucose oxidase (GOx)-loaded Fe3O4 nanoparticles for effective HCC treatment. On the one hand, the nanoplatform interfered with glucose metabolism through the action of GOx to reduce the synthesis of ATP, which reduced the expression of heat shock proteins, thereby sensitizing the IR780-mediated PTT. On the other hand, hydrogen peroxide generated during GOx catalysis and the thermal effect of PTT accelerated the Fe3O4-mediated Fenton reaction, realizing enhanced CDT. Consequently, the sensitized PTT and enhanced CDT for HCC management could be simultaneously achieved by interfering with glucose metabolism, providing an alternative strategy for the effective treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Hydrogels, as one of the most feasible soft biomaterials, have gained considerable attention in therapeutic applications by virtue of their tunable properties including superior patient compliance, good biocompatibility and biodegradation, and high cargo-loading efficiency. However, hydrogel application is still limited by some challenges like inefficient encapsulation, easy leakage of loaded cargoes, and the lack of controllability. Recently, nanoarchitecture-integrated hydrogel systems were found to be therapeutics with optimized properties, extending their bioapplication. In this review, we briefly presented the category of hydrogels according to their synthetic materials and further discussed the advantages in bioapplication. Additionally, various applications of nanoarchitecture hybrid hydrogels in biomedical engineering are systematically summarized, including cancer therapy, wound healing, cardiac repair, bone regeneration, diabetes therapy, and obesity therapy. Last, the current challenges, limitations, and future perspectives in the future development of nanoarchitecture-integrated flexible hydrogels are addressed.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel therapeutic approach based on Fenton (Fenton-like) reaction, has been widely employed for tumor therapy. This approach utilizes Fe, Cu, or other metal ions (Mn, Zn, Co, or Mo) to react with the excess hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor microenvironments (TME), and form highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) to kill cancer cells. Recently, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) have attracted considerable attention as promising CDT agents with the rapid development of cancer CDT. This review focuses on summarizing the latest advances (2020-2022) on the design of nMOFs as nanomedicine for CDT or combination therapy of CDT and other therapies. The future development and challenges of CDT are also proposed based on recent progress. Our group hopes that this review will enlighten the research and development of nMOFs for CDT.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) mediated by nanozymes has been extensively studied in oral squamous cell carcinoma. However, the low catalytic efficiency due to insufficient H2O2 in the TME is still a major challenge for its clinical translation. Herein, we present an antitumor nanoplatform based on a Mn-Co organometallic framework material (MnCoMOF), which shows peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity, loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx@MnCoMOF), demonstrating the ability of H2O2 self-supply and H2O2 conversion to toxic hydroxyl radicals. The encapsulated GOx efficiently catalyzes glucose into gluconic acid and H2O2 at the tumor site, which can cut off the energy supply to inhibit tumor growth and produce a large amount of H2O2 and acid to compensate for their lack in the tumor microenvironment. The POD-like activity of MnCoMOF can convert H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals and eliminate tumor cells. The nanoplatform exhibits enhanced tumor cell cytotoxicity in a high-glucose medium compared with a low-glucose medium, illustrating sufficient generation of H2O2 from glucose by GOx. The in vivo results indicate that GOx@MnCoMOF has excellent antitumor efficacy and can remodel the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. In conclusion, the GOx@MnCoMOF nanoplatform possesses dual enzymatic activities, i.e., POD-like and glucose oxidase, to achieve improved tumor-suppressive efficiency through synergistic starvation and chemodynamic therapy, thus providing a new strategy for the clinical treatment of oral cancer.

Abstract
Nanomedicines have been widely used for cancer therapy, while controlling their activity for effective and safe treatment remains a big challenge. Herein, we report the development of a second near-infrared (NIR-II) photoactivatable enzyme-loaded nanomedicine for enhanced cancer therapy. Such a hybrid nanomedicine contains a thermoresponsive liposome shell loaded with copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) and glucose oxidase (GOx). The CuS nanoparticles mediate the generation of local heat under 1064 nm laser irradiation, which not only can be used for NIR-II photothermal therapy (PTT), but also leads to the destruction of the thermal-responsive liposome shell to achieve the on-demand release of CuS nanoparticles and GOx. In a tumor microenvironment, GOx oxidizes glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that acts as a medium to promote the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by CuS nanoparticles. This hybrid nanomedicine enables the synergetic action of NIR-II PTT and CDT to obviously improve efficacy without remarkable side effects via NIR-II photoactivatable release of therapeutic agents. Such a hybrid nanomedicine-mediated treatment can achieve complete ablation of tumors in mouse models. This study provides a promising nanomedicine with photoactivatable activity for effective and safe cancer therapy.

Abstract
Collateral damage to healthy tissue, uneven heat distribution, inflammatory diseases, and tumor metastasis induction hinder the translation of high-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) from bench to practical clinical applications. In this report, a multifunctional gold nanorod (GNR)-based nanosystem was designed by attaching siRNA against B7-H3 (B7-H3si), glucose oxidase (GOx), and hyaluronic acid (HA) for efficient low-temperature PTT. Herein, GOx can not only exhaust glucose to induce starvation therapy but also reduce the heat shock protein (HSP), realizing the ablation of tumors without damage to healthy tissues. Evidence shows that B7-H3, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein molecule, plays essential roles in growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. By initiating the downregulation of B7-H3 by siRNA, siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs may promote the effectiveness of treatment. By targeting cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) and depleting B7-H3 and HSPs sequentially, siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs showed 12.9-fold higher lung distribution than siRNA-GOx/GNR NPs. Furthermore, 50% of A549-bearing mice in the siRNA-GOx/GNR NPs group survived over 50 days. Overall, this low-temperature phototherapeutic nanosystem provides an appropriate strategy for eliminating cancer with high treatment effectiveness and minimal systemic toxicity. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To realize efficient tumor ablation under mild low-temperature (42-45 ℃) and RNA interference simultaneously, here we developed a multifunctional gold nanorod (GNR)-based nanosystem (siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs). This nanoplatform can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis by downregulation of HSP90α, HSP70, B7-H3, p-AKT, and p-ERK and upregulation of cleaved caspase-9 at mild low-temperature due to its superior tumor homing ability and the combined effect of photothermal effect, glucose deprivation-initiated tumor starvation, and B7-H3 gene silence effect. It is believed that this multifunctional low-temperature photothermal nanosystem with efficient and specific anticancer properties, shows a potential application in clinical tumor treatment.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) reflects a novel reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related cancer therapeutic approach. However, CDT monotherapy is often limited by weak efficacy and insufficient endogenous H2O2. Herein, a multifunctional combined bioreactor (MnFe-LDH/MTX@GOx@Ta, MMGT) relying on MnFe-layered double hydroxide (MnFe-LDH) loaded with methotrexate (MTX) and coated with glucose oxidase (GOx)/tannin acid (Ta) is established for applications in H2O2 self-supply and photothermal enhanced chemo/chemodynamic combined therapy along with photothermal (PT) /magnetic resonance (MR) dual-modality imaging ability for cancer treatment. Once internalized into tumor cells, MMGT achieves starvation therapy by catalyzing the oxidation of glucose with GOx, accompanied by the regeneration of H2O2, enabling a Fenton-like reaction to accomplish GOx catalytic amplified CDT. Moreover, MMGT manifests significant tumor-killing ability through improved CDT performance with outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 52.2%) under 808 nm laser irradiation. In addition, the release of Mn2+ from MnFe-LDH in a solid tumor can significantly enhance T1-contrast MR imaging signals. Combined with MnFe-LDH-induced PT imaging under 808 nm laser irradiation, a dual-modality imaging directed theranostic nanoplatform has been developed. The present study provides a new strategy to design H2O2 self-supply and ROS evolving NIR light-absorption theranostic nanoagent for highly efficient and combined chemo/chemodynamic cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cutting off glucose provision by glucose oxidase (GOx) to famish tumors can be an assistance with chemotherapy to eliminate cancer cells. Co-encapsulation of GOx and chemotherapeutics (doxorubicin) within pH-sensitive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could disorder metabolic pathways of cancer cells and generate excessive intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), together. To prevent premature leach of GOx from the porous channels of MOFs, polydopamine (PDA) was deposited on the surface of MOFs, which endowed the delivery system with photothermal conversion ability. Our nanoscaled co-delivery system (denoted as DGZPNs) remains stable with low amount of drug leakage under simulated physiological conditions in vitro and internal environment, while they are triggered to release doxorubicin (DOX) and GOx in acid tumor microenvironment and at high temperature for reinforced chemotherapy. NIR laser irradiation also activates superior photothermal conversion efficiency of PDA (36.9 %) to initiate hyperthermia to ablate tumor tissue. After being phagocytized by 4 T1 cells (breast cancer cells), the DGZPNs delivery system showed a superior therapeutic efficacy with a tumor growth inhibition of 88.9 ± 6.6 % under NIR irradiation, which indicated that the starvation-assisted chemo-photothermal therapy prompts the significant advance of synergistic therapy in a parallelly controlled mode.

Abstract
The combination of chemotherapy (CT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) via nanoscale drug delivery systems has great potential for tumor therapy. Nevertheless, the low intracellular H2O2 and high reductive glutathione (GSH) levels, as well as the mildly acidic conditions (pH 5.8-6.8) of the tumor microenvironment (TME) still limit their further applications. To tackle these problems, a TME-modulating nanoreactor (denoted as Fe3O4-DOX@PDA-GOx@HA, FDPGH) was developed through a simple and practicable method to achieve multiply enhanced CDT synergized with CT, starvation therapy (ST), and photothermal therapy (PTT). Upon cellular uptake, the hyaluronic acid (HA) and PDA shells rapidly collapsed to release Fe3O4, glucose oxidase (GOx) and doxorubicin (DOX), and the overexpressed GSH could promote the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+, resulting in CDT activation. GOx-driven oxidation reaction not only produced H2O2 for enhanced CDT, but also killed tumor cells by initiating ST. In addition, the acid amplification caused by gluconic acid production in turn accelerated the degradation of FDPGH, promoting the Fenton reaction to enhance CDT. Most importantly, the nanoreactor had excellent photothermal performance to achieve PTT and PTT-enhanced CDT with the release of DOX into tumor tissue to achieve enhanced CT. This novel cascade nanoreactor with TME-modulating capability is intended to provide further inspiration for multimodal treatment paradigms.

Abstract
In clinical practice, it has become urgent to develop multifunctional wound dressings that can combat infection and prompt wound healing simultaneously. In this study, we proposed a polydopamine/alginate/nanoselenium composite hydrogel (Alg-PDA-Se) for the treatment of infected wounds. In particular, polydopamine endows the composite hydrogel with controllable near-infrared photothermal properties, while low-dosage selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) offer excellent anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, pro-proliferative, pro-migration, and pro-angiogenic performances, which are verified by multiple cells, including macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. More interestingly, the combination of mild temperature with low-dosage Se NPs produces a synergistic effect on combating both Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) and promoting the healing of bacteria-infected wounds in vivo. We anticipate that the designed composite hydrogel might be a potential candidate for anti-infection bioactive dressing.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been emerging as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. But the CDT efficiency is restricted by the insufficient intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) level. Herein, we present a method for H2O2 accumulation in tumor cells by silencing the catalase (CAT) gene with siRNA to achieve enhanced CDT. Cu-siRNA nanocomposites are fabricated by self-assembly of Cu2+ and CAT siRNA and then modified with hyaluronic acid (HA) for active tumor targeting. After tumor cell uptake, the released Cu2+ is reduced by highly expressed glutathione (GSH) to Cu+, which then catalyzes H2O2 to produce toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to kill tumor cells. CAT siRNA can efficiently silence the CAT mRNA to inhibit the consumption of H2O2, resulting in H2O2 accumulation. The Cu2+-mediated GSH elimination and siRNA-induced endogenous H2O2 enrichment both potentiate CDT. Cu-siRNA@HA exhibits good biocompatibility and therapeutic efficiency. This work thus paves a new way to supply H2O2 in CDT and may hold potential for clinical application.

Abstract
Cancer therapies based on energy conversion, such as photothermal therapy (PTT, light-to-thermal energy conversion) and photodynamic therapy (PDT, light-to-chemical energy conversion) have attracted extensive attention in preclinical research. However, the PTT-related hyperthermia damage to surrounding tissues and shallow penetration of PDT-applied light prevent further advanced clinical practices. Here, we developed a thermoelectric therapy (TET) based on thermoelectric materials constructed p-n heterojunction (SrTiO3/Cu2Se nanoplates) on the principle of light-thermal-electricity-chemical energy conversion. Upon irradiation and natural cooling-induced the temperature gradient (35-45 oC), a self-build-in electric field was constructed and thereby facilitated charges separation in bulk SrTiO3 and Cu2Se. Importantly, the contact between SrTiO3 (n type) and Cu2Se (p type) constructed another interfacial electric field, further guiding the separated charges to re-locate onto the surfaces of SrTiO3 and Cu2Se. The formation of two electric fields minimized probability of charges recombination. Of note, high-performance superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals' generation from O2 and H2O under catalyzation by separated electrons and holes, led to intracellular ROS burst and cancer cells apoptosis without apparent damage to surrounding tissues. Construction of bulk and interfacial electric fields in heterojunction for improving charges separation and transfer is also expected to provide a robust strategy for diverse applications.

Abstract
Promoting the aggregation of nanoprobes at tumor sites and realizing precise imaging and treatment of tumors is still one of the important problems to be solved in the field of nanomedicine. Poly-2-phenylbenzobisthiazole (PB) is a novel conjugated polymer with good biocompatibility, excellent photothermal properties in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II), but poor water dispersibility. Herein, a novel self-assembly/polymerization two-in-one strategy was proposed to prepare a new family of poly-2-phenyl-benzobisthiazole-based nanoparticles. Because the hydrophobic polymer PB was well "camouflaged" in the hydrophilic polyphenol-metal networks, the prepared "Trojan horse-like" nanoparticle TF-PB exhibited good water dispersibility. Besides, TF-PB can play a role as a contrast agent for photoacoustic and magnetic resonance dual-modality imaging. When deferoxamine was artificially applied and interacted with TF-PB, the polyphenol-metal networks disintegrated and the hydrophobic material PB was exposed and started hydrophobic aggregation. Thus, it can be applied for precise enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) in the NIR-II. Meanwhile, the aggregation process enabled non-invasive, fast, and accurate real-time monitoring by self-enhancing photoacoustic imaging. This work has realized the artificially controllable aggregation of photothermal materials in the tumor site, solved the limitations of traditional PTT, and also has good application prospects in clinical therapy.

Abstract
Despite the significant improvement in the survival rate of cancer patients, the total cure of bone cancer is still a knotty clinical challenge. Traditional surgical resectionof bone tumors is less than satisfactory, which inevitably results in bone defects and the inevitable residual tumor cells. For the purpose of realizing minimal invasiveness and local curative effects, photothermal therapy (PTT) under the irradiation of near-infrared light has made extensive progress in ablating tumors, and various photothermal therapeutic agents (PTAs) for the treatment of bone tumors have thus been reported in the past few years, has and have tended to focus on osteogenic bio-scaffolds modified with PTAs in order to break through the limitation that PTT lacks, osteogenic capacity. These so-called bifunctional scaffolds simultaneously ablate bone tumors and generate new tissues at the bone defects. This review summarizes the recent application progress of various bifunctional scaffolds and puts forward some practical constraints and future perspectives on bifunctional scaffolds for tumor therapy and bone regeneration: two hawks with one arrow.

Abstract
Nanomotors are appealing drug carriers, and the strength of the propelling force is important for their motion capability. Though high motion efficiency has been achieved with 808 nm light driven Janus-structured noble metal nanomotors, the NIR-I light penetration depth and material biocompatibility limit their broad application. Herein, we develop a 1064 nm NIR-II light driven asymmetric hydrogel nanomotor (AHNM) with high motion capability and load it with doxorubicin for enhanced immunochemotherapy. Magnetic field assisted photopolymerization generates an asymmetric distribution of Fe3 O4 @Cu9 S8 nanoparticles in the AHNM, producing self-thermophoresis as driving force under NIR-II irradiation. The AHNM is also functionalized with dopamine for the capture and retention of tumor-associated antigens to boost immune activation.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOD) has a wide range of applications in biosensing and cancer treatment as a result of its unique biocatalytic properties. More importantly, GOD could synergistically enhance the cancer therapeutic effect when combined with other cancer therapeutic strategies. However, the interaction of GOD with a cancer therapeutic agent has not been well-studied. Herein, the thermodynamic properties of the interaction between black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) and GOD were systematically elucidated, and the dose-dependent conformational and enzymatic activity changes of BPQDs on GOD were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. The results indicated that the stoichiometric ratio of BPQDs to GOD was approximately 1:1. In particular, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectra, and Fourier transform infrared spectra have synergistically studied the changes in secondary and tertiary conformations of GOD induced by BPQDs. Higher doses of BPQDs resulted in a loose structure of GOD but still maintained the native conformation and preserved effective enzymatic activity, effectively catalyzing the production of H2O2 from glucose in a cell. The interaction mechanism between BPQDs and GOD provides a theoretical basis for the design of GOD-based multimodal synergistic cancer therapy and its clinical translation analysis.

Abstract
In clinical practice, the utilization of antibiotics is still the main approach for the treatment of wound contamination, which lacks the ability to accelerate wound healing and arises the global concern of antimicrobial resistance. Plenty of alternative methods have been explored in recent years due to the fast development of material science. Here, CuO/SiO2 nanowires (CuSi NWs) with good near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion ability are synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method. The as-prepared CuSi NWs possess excellent antibacterial ability against both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which could be enhanced by the assistance of mild photothermal therapy (PTT). Moreover, CuSi NWs at suitable concentrations can promote proliferation, migration, and angiogenic gene expression of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), exhibiting a remarkable pro-vascularization ability. The in vivo mouse infect model further proves that the CuSi NWs might be a good candidate for the treatment of infected wounds as the high antibacterial efficiency and accelerated wound healing is obtained.

Abstract
Phototheranostic based on photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), as one of avant-garde medical techniques, have sparked growing attention because it allows noninvasive, deeply penetrative, and highly selective and effective therapy. Among a variety of phototheranostic nanoagents, single-component inorganic nanostructures are found to be novel and attractive PAI and PTT combined nanotheranostic agents and received tremendous attention, which not only exhibit structural controllability, high tunability in physiochemical properties, size-dependent optical properties, high reproducibility, simple composition, easy functionalization, and simple synthesis process, but also can be endowed with multiple therapeutic and imaging functions, realizing the superior therapy result along with bringing less foreign materials into body, reducing systemic side effects and improving the bioavailability. In this review, according to their synthetic components, conventional single-component inorganic nanostructures are divided into metallic nanostructures, metal dichalcogenides, metal oxides, carbon based nanostructures, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes, graphdiyne and other nanostructures. On the basis of this category, their detailed applications in PAI guide PTT of tumor treatment are systematically reviewed, including synthesis strategies, corresponding performances, and cancer diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. Before these, the factors to influence on photothermal effect and the principle of in vivo PAI are briefly presented. Finally, we also comprehensively and thoroughly discussed the limitation, potential barriers, future perspectives for research and clinical translation of this single-component inorganic nanoagent in biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
Introduction The high concentration of glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels within the tumor microenvironment (TME) are the major obstacle to induce the unsatisfactory anticancer treatment efficiency. The synergistic cancer therapy strategies of the combination the GSH depletion enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) with photothermal therapy (PTT) have been proved to be the promising method to significantly improve the therapeutic efficacy. Methods The copperphosphotungstate was incorporated into polyanilines to design copperphosphotungstate doped polyaniline nanorods (CuPW@PANI Nanorods) via chemical oxidant polymerization of aniline. The low long-term toxicity and biocompatibility were evaluated. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments were carried out to confirm the GSH depletion enhanced CDT/NIR-II PTT synergistic therapy. Results CuPW@PANI Nanorods feature biosafety and biocompatibility, strong NIR-II absorbance, and high photothermal-conversion efficiency (45.14%) in NIR-II bio-window, making them highly applicable for photoacoustic imaging and NIR-II PTT. Moreover, CuPW@PANI Nanorods could consume endogenous GSH to disrupt redox homeostasis and perform a Fenton-like reaction with H2O2 to produce cytotoxic •OH for the enhanced CDT. Furthermore, NIR-II photothermal-induced local hyperthermia accelerates •OH generation to enhance CDT, which realizes high therapeutic efficacy in vivo. Conclusion This study provides a proof of concept of GSH-depletion augmented chemodynamic/NIR-II photothermal therapy.

A tumor pH-responsive autocatalytic nanoreactor as a H 2O 2 and O 2 self-supplying depot for enhanced ROS-based chemo/photodynamic therapy. Acta Biomater 2022; 154:510-522. [PMID: 36241016 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Combining the internal force-driven chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and the external energy-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds great promise to achieve an advanced anticancer effect based on reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the insufficient oxy-substrates supply in tumor microenvironment, like hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen (O2), is the Achilles heel that greatly restricts the efficacy of this ROS-based treatment. Herein, the construction of a copper peroxide-based tumor pH-responsive autocatalytic nanoreactor (CESAR), via an albumin-mediated biomimetic mineralization strategy is described. The decoration of human serum albumin endows the nanoreactor good hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, which is highly desired for the metal-based materials. Upon exposure to acidic tumor microenvironment, CESAR presents a pH-triggered disintegration with Cu2+, H2O2 and O2 generated instantly. The generated H2O2 complements the hyperoxide deficiency and initiates a localized Fenton-like reaction with the assistance of Cu2+ for highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) production for improving CDT. The evolved O2 gas enables hypoxia relief for enhanced Ce6-mediated PDT. This H2O2/O2 self-supplying strategy significantly amplifies the tumor oxidative damage and gains an optimal treatment outcome, which offers a new paradigm for optimizing the tumor therapeutic options limited by oxide or hyperoxide deficiency, not only for CDT/PDT, but also other oxy-substrates involved strategies. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The shortage of oxy-substrates in the tumor microenvironment remains a great challenge for ROS-based cancer therapy. Herein, we introduce human serum albumin as a scaffold to stabilize copper peroxide nanomaterials for constant production of H2O2 and O2 to enhance chemodynamic/photodynamic therapy. The tumor pH-triggered H2O2/O2 production and Cu2+ release are confirmed, assuring the strategy of a highly precise, effective way to destroy tumor without any side effects. This work lends new and exciting insights into the engineering design of autocatalytic oxy-substrates self-supply nanoreactor for overcoming the bottlenecks, like the oxy-substrates deficiency of CDT/PDT and the poor stability of metal peroxides, to achieve highly effective chemodynamic/photodynamic therapy.
