Abstract
Bacterial infections create distinctive microenvironments with a unique mix of metabolites and enzymes compared with healthy tissues that can be used to trigger the activation of antibiotic prodrugs. Here, a single and dual prodrug masking the C3 carboxylate and C7 piperazine of the fluoroquinolone, ciprofloxacin, responsive to nitroreductase (NTR) and/or hydrogen sulfide (H2S), was developed. Masking both functional groups reduced the activity of the prodrug against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, increasing its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by ∼512-fold (S. aureus) and ∼8000-fold (E. coli strains), while masking a single group only increased the MIC by ∼128-fold. Bacteria subjected to prolonged prodrug exposure did not show any increase in resistance. Triggering assays demonstrated the conversion of prodrugs to ciprofloxacin, and in a murine infection model, responsive prodrugs showed antibacterial activity comparable to that of ciprofloxacin, suggesting in vivo activation of prodrugs. Thus, the potential for site-specific antibiotic treatment with reduced threat of resistance is demonstrated.

Abstract
Chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for the lymphoma patient population, despite its relatively poor therapeutic results, high toxicity, and low specificity. With the advancement of biotechnology, the significance of drug-loading biomimetic materials in the medical field has become increasingly evident, attracting extensive attention from the scientific community and the pharmaceutical industry. Given that they can cater to the particular requirements of lymphoma patients, drug-loading biomimetic materials have recently become a potent and promising delivery approach for various applications. This review mainly reviews the recent advancements in the treatment of tumors with biological drug carrier-loaded drugs, outlines the mechanisms of lymphoma development and the diverse treatment modalities currently available, and discusses the merits and limitations of biological drug carriers. What is more, the practical application of biocarriers in tumors is explored by providing examples, and the possibility of loading such organisms with antilymphoma drugs for the treatment of lymphoma is conceived.

Abstract
In recent decades, due to insufficient concentration at the lesion site, low bioavailability and increasingly serious resistance, antibiotics have become less and less dominant in the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. It promotes the development of efficient drug delivery systems, and is expected to achieve high absorption, targeted drug release and satisfactory therapy effects. A variety of endogenous stimulation-responsive nanosystems have been constructed by using special infection microenvironments (pH, enzymes, temperature, etc.). In this review, we firstly provide an extensive review of the current research progress in antibiotic treatment dilemmas and drug delivery systems. Then, the mechanism of microenvironment characteristics of bacterial infected lesions was elucidated to provide a strong theoretical basis for bacteria-targeting nanosystems design. In particular, the discussion focuses on the design principles of single-stimulus and dual-stimulus responsive nanosystems, as well as the use of endogenous stimulus-responsive nanosystems to deliver antimicrobial agents to target locations for combating bacterial infectious diseases. Finally, the challenges and prospects of endogenous stimulus-responsive nanosystems were summarized.

Abstract
Over the years, bioinspired mineralization-based approaches have been applied to synthesize multifunctional organic-inorganic nanocomposites. These nanocomposites can address the growing demands of modern biomedical applications. Proteins, serving as vital biological templates, play a pivotal role in the nucleation and growth processes of various organic-inorganic nanocomposites. Protein-mineralized nanomaterials (PMNMs) have attracted significant interest from researchers due to their facile and convenient preparation, strong physiological activity, stability, impressive biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Nevertheless, few comprehensive reviews have expounded on the progress of these nanomaterials in biomedicine. This article systematically reviews the principles and strategies for constructing nanomaterials using protein-directed biomineralization and biomimetic mineralization techniques. Subsequently, we focus on their recent applications in the biomedical field, encompassing areas such as bioimaging, as well as anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory therapies. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges encountered in practical applications of these materials and explore their potential in future applications. This review aspired to catalyze the continued development of these bioinspired nanomaterials in drug development and clinical diagnosis, ultimately contributing to the fields of precision medicine and translational medicine.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer, with over 2.1 million cases diagnosed annually worldwide. It has a high incidence and mortality rate, leading to extensive research into various treatment options, including the use of nanomaterial-based carriers for drug delivery. With regard to cancer treatment, the distinct biological and physico-chemical features of nano-structures have acquired considerable impetus as drug delivery system (DDS) for delivering medication combinations or combining diagnostics and targeted therapy. This review focuses on the use of nanomedicine-based drug delivery systems in the treatment of lung cancer, including the use of lipid, polymer, and carbon-based nanomaterials for traditional therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and phototherapy. The review also discusses the potential of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials for drug delivery in lung cancer, and the limitations and opportunities for improving the design of nano-based materials for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Abstract
Bacterial infections, especially those caused by drug-resistant bacteria, have seriously threatened human life and health. There is urgent to develop new antibacterial agents to reduce the problem of antibiotics. Biomedical materials with good antimicrobial properties have been widely used in antibacterial applications. Among them, hydrogels have become the focus of research in the field of biomedical materials due to their unique three-dimensional network structure, high hydrophilicity, and good biocompatibility. In this review, the latest research progresses about hydrogels in recent years were summarized, mainly including the preparation methods of hydrogels and their antibacterial applications. According to their different antibacterial mechanisms, several representative antibacterial hydrogels were introduced, such as antibiotics loaded hydrogels, antibiotic-free hydrogels including metal-based hydrogels, antibacterial peptide and antibacterial polymers, stimuli-responsive smart hydrogels, and light-mediated hydrogels. In addition, we also discussed the applications and challenges of antibacterial hydrogels in biomedicine, which are expected to provide new directions and ideas for the application of hydrogels in clinical antibacterial therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, multidrug-resistant bacteria have developed the ability to resist multiple antibiotics, limiting the available options for effective treatment. Raising awareness and providing education on the appropriate use of antibiotics, as well as improving infection control measures in healthcare facilities, are crucial steps to address the healthcare crisis. Further, innovative approaches must be adopted to develop novel drug delivery systems using polymeric matrices as carriers and support to efficiently combat such multidrug-resistant bacteria and thus promote wound healing. In this context, the current work describes the use of two biocompatible and non-toxic polymers, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and xanthan gum (XG), to achieve hydrogel networks through cross-linking by oxalic acid following the freezing/thawing procedure. PVA/XG-80/20 hydrogels were loaded with different quantities of neomycin sulfate to create promising low-class topical antibacterial formulations with enhanced antimicrobial effects. The inclusion of neomycin sulfate in the hydrogels is intended to impart them with powerful antimicrobial properties, thereby facilitating the development of exceptionally efficient topical antibacterial formulations. Thus, incorporating higher quantities of neomycin sulfate in the PVA/XG-80/20-2 and PVA/XG-80/20-3 formulations yielded promising cycling characteristics. These formulations exhibited outstanding removal efficiency, exceeding 80% even after five cycles, indicating remarkable and consistent adsorption performance with repeated use. Furthermore, both PVA/XG-80/20-2 and PVA/XG-80/20-3 formulations outperformed the drug-free sample, PVA/XG-80/20, demonstrating a significant enhancement in maximum compressive stress.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Stimuli-responsive materials can innovate in various fields, including food and pharmaceutical sciences. Their response to a specific stimulus can be utilized to release loaded bioactive molecules or sense their presence. The biocompatibility and abundance of CO2 in the environment make it an exciting stimulus for such applications. We hypothesize the formation of CO2-responsive self-assemblies of oleyl-amidine in water. Their integration into glycerol-monooleate-based (GMO) dispersions is further thought to form CO2-switchable liquid crystalline nanoparticles. The switch from an non-charged acetamidine surfactant to its cationic amidinium form triggers curvature changes that ultimately induces phase transitions. EXPERIMENTS The CO2-switchable lipid (E)-N,N-dimethyl-N-((Z)-octadec-9-en1-yl)acetimidamide (OAm) is synthesized and formulated into emulsions and dispersed liquid crystals with GMO. The supramolecular structure and its response to CO2 are characterized using small angle X-ray scattering, dynamic light scattering, ζ-potential measurements and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. FINDINGS Depending on the composition, OAm is discovered to self-assemble into a variety of CO2-responsive lyotropic liquid crystalline structures that can be dispersed in excess water. CO2-triggered colloidal transformations from unstructured OAm-in-water emulsions to direct micelles; dispersed inverse hexagonal phase to direct rod-like micelles, and sponge phase to vesicles are discovered. These structural changes are driven by the reaction of OAm's amidine headgroup with CO2. The results provide a fundamental understanding of CO2-triggered functional nanomaterials and may guide their future design into delivery platforms and biosensors.

Abstract
Globally, the increase of pathogenic bacteria with antibiotic-resistant characteristics has become a critical challenge in medical treatment. The misuse of conventional antibiotics to treat an infectious disease often results in increased resistance and a scarcity of effective antimicrobials to be used in the future against the organisms. Here, we discuss the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the need to combat it through the discovery of new synthetic or naturally occurring antibacterial compounds, as well as insights into the application of various drug delivery approaches delivered via various routes compared to conventional delivery systems. AMR-related infectious diseases are also discussed, as is the efficiency of various delivery systems. Future considerations in developing highly effective antimicrobial delivery devices to address antibiotic resistance are also presented here, especially on the smart delivery system of antibiotics.

Abstract
Cellulitis is a common dermis/subcutaneous tissue skin infection and shared global disease burden, with a higher incidence for males and people aged 45-64 years. Application therapy of chloramphenicol (CHL) has been hindered because of its toxicity and limited penetration into the skin. In this research, CHL was developed into a bacterially sensitive microparticles which were further incorporated into a microneedle system to increase penetration. To support this formulation, in this study, UV-vis spectrophotometry method was validated in methanol, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) 1%, phosphate buffered saline (PBS), tryptic soy broth (TSB) (fluid-mimicking infection), and skin tissue to quantify amount of CHL. The developed analytical method was subsequently validated according to ICH guidelines. The results obtained showed that the correlation coefficients were linear ≥0.9934. The values of LLOQ inside the methanol, PVA 1%, PBS, TSB, and skin tissue were 7.20 µg/mL, 4.40 µg/mL, 8.18 µg/mL, 387.48 µg/mL, and 7.27 µg/mL, respectively. The accuracy and precision of the developed method were prominent. These methods were successfully applied to quantify the amount of CHL in microparticle and microneedle system in fluid and tissue skin infection. The result showed the high drug release microparticle sensitive bacteria, and high drug retention in ex vivo dermatokinetic evaluation in rat skin tissue containing bacterial infection. This was due to the presence of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria culture that produced lipase enzymes, playing a role in lysing microparticle matrix to develop selectively delivery antimicrobials. A further analytical method needs to be matured to quantify CHL inside the in vivo studies.

Abstract
Microbial infections have always been a thorny problem. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections rendered the antibiotics commonly used in clinical treatment helpless. Nanomaterials based on aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) recently made great progress in the fight against microbial infections. As a family of photosensitive antimicrobial materials, AIEgens enable the fluorescent tracing of microorganisms and the production of reactive oxygen (ROS) and/or heat upon light irradiation for photodynamic and photothermal treatments targeting microorganisms. The novel nanomaterials constructed by combining polymers, antibiotics, metal complexes, peptides, and other materials retain the excellent antimicrobial properties of AIEgens while giving other materials excellent properties, further enhancing the antimicrobial effect of the material. This paper reviews the research progress of AIEgen-based nanomaterials in the field of antimicrobial activity, focusing on the materials' preparation and their related antimicrobial strategies. Finally, it concludes with an outlook on some of the problems and challenges still facing the field.

Abstract
The layer-by-layer assembly (LBL) method was used in this work to apply antibacterial coatings to the surface of sutures. The nanofilm was created using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, chitosan, and chlorhexidine digluconate. Polyethylene terephthalate and polyamide surgical sutures were used as the substrate. At pH 5, thin, uniform coatings with the ideal number of biopolymers in the film (10 bilayers) are produced. The pH and the shape of the polyelectrolyte macromolecules determine the film's thickness and form. The morphology of the surface and the structure of the sutures after modification become homogeneous and smooth. Both treated and untreated sutures retain their mechanical strength, and there is no significant loss of tensile strength. Nanofilms obtained on the surface of the sutures showed high antimicrobial efficacy against microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Chlorhexidine incorporated into the multilayer membrane was found to have greater antimicrobial activity than sutures treated with chlorhexidine alone. Modified surgical sutures provide antibacterial qualities that last for up to 30 days in a stable, controlled manner. The results showed the prospects of applying nanofilms based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/chitosan/chlorhexidine to surgical sutures that can prevent the infectious consequences of surgical interventions.

Abstract
Polymer-based nanomaterials have exhibited promising alternative avenues to combat the globe challenge of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection. However, most of the reported polymeric nanomaterials have facially linear amphiphilic structures with positive net charges, which may lead to nonspecific binding, high hemolysis, and uncontrollable self-organization, limiting their practical applications. In this contribution, we report a one-dimensional glyconanorod (GNR) through self-assembly of well-defined β-cyclodextrin-based glycoconjugates (RMan) featuring hydrophobic carbon-based chains and amide rhodamines with an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-recognition site and targeted and hydrophilic mannoses and positively net-charged ethylene amine groups. The GNRs show superior targeting sensing and killing for Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) dominantly through the multivalent recognition between mannoses on the nanorod and the lectin on the surface of E. coli. Moreover, red fluorescence was light on due to the hydrogen bonding between amide rhodamine and ATP. Benefiting from the designs, the GNRs are capable of possessing a higher therapeutic index and of encapsulating other antibiotics. They exhibit an enhanced effect against E. coli strains. Intriguingly, the GNRs displayed a more reduced hemolysis effect and lower cytotoxicity compared to that of ethylene glyco-modified nanorods. These results reveal that the glyconanomaterials not only feature superior and targeted bacterial sensing and antibacterial activity, but also better biocompatibility compared with the widely used PEG-covered nanomaterials. Furthermore, the in vivo studies demonstrate that the targeted and ATP-responsive GNRs complexed with antibiotics showed better treatment using a mouse model of abdominal sepsis following intraperitoneal E. coli infection. The present work describes a targeted and effective sensing and antibacterial platform based on glycoconjugates that have potential applications for the treatment of infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
Hydrogels, also known as three-dimensional, flexible, and polymer networks, are composed of natural and/or synthetic polymers with exceptional properties such as hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, biofunctionality, and elasticity. Researchers in biomedicine, biosensing, pharmaceuticals, energy and environment, agriculture, and cosmetics are interested in hydrogels. Hydrogels have limited adaptability for complicated biological information transfer in biomedical applications due to their lack of electrical conductivity and low mechanical strength, despite significant advances in the development and use of hydrogels. The nano-filler-hydrogel hybrid system based on supramolecular interaction between host and guest has emerged as one of the potential solutions to the aforementioned issues. Black phosphorus, as one of the representatives of novel two-dimensional materials, has gained a great deal of interest in recent years owing to its exceptional physical and chemical properties, among other nanoscale fillers. However, a few numbers of publications have elaborated on the scientific development of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels extensively. In this review, this review thus summarized the benefits of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels and highlighted the most recent biological uses of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels. Finally, the difficulties and future possibilities of the development of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels are reviewed in an effort to serve as a guide for the application and manufacture of black phosphorus -based hydrogels. Recent applications of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels in biomedicine.

Abstract
One of the biggest challenges in infectious disease treatment is the existence of bacterial infections in underskin wound tissue, such as cellulitis. Compared to other treatments, it is harder for antibacterial drugs to penetrate the physical barrier on the affected skin with a nonspecific target, making conventional therapy for cellulitis infection more difficult and considered. In this novel research, we pioneer a combined strategy of dissolving microneedles (MNs) and bacteria-sensitive microparticles (MPs) for enhanced penetration and targeted delivery of chloramphenicol (CHL) to the infection site specifically. The polycaprolactone polymer was used to make MPs because of its sensitivity to bacterial enzyme stimuli. The best microparticle formulation was discovered and optimized using the Design-Expert application. Furthermore, this study evaluated the antibacterial activity of MPs in vitro and in vivo on the mutant Drosophila larval infection model. This strategy shows improvement in the antibacterial activity of MPs and higher retention duration compared to conventional cream formulation, and the inclusion of these MPs into dissolving MNs was able to greatly improve the dermatokinetic characteristics of CHL in ex vivo evaluation. Importantly, the antimicrobial efficacy in an ex vivo infection model demonstrated that, following the use of this strategy, bacterial bioburdens decreased by up to 99.99% after 24 h. The findings offered a proof of concept for the enhancement of CHL dermatokinetic profiles and antimicrobial activities after its preparation into bacteria-sensitive MPs and distribution by MNs. Future research should investigate in vivo effectiveness in an appropriate animal model.

Abstract
The rapid emergence and spread of drug-resistant bacteria, as one of the most pressing public health threats, are declining our arsenal of available antimicrobial drugs. Advanced antimicrobial drug delivery systems that can achieve precise and controlled release of antimicrobial agents in the microenvironment of bacterial infections will retard the development of antimicrobial resistance. A variety of extracellular enzymes are secreted by bacteria to destroy physical integrity of tissue during their invasion of host body, which can be utilized as stimuli to trigger "on-demand" release of antimicrobials. In the past decade, such bacterial enzyme responsive drug release systems have been intensively studied but few review has been released. Herein, we systematically summarize the recent progress of smart antimicrobial drug delivery systems triggered by bacteria secreted enzymes such as lipase, hyaluronidase, protease and antibiotic degrading enzymes. The perspectives and existing key issues of this field will also be discussed to fuel the innovative research and translational application in the future.

Abstract
Antibacterial wound dressings are confronted with the challenges in real-time imaging of infected wounds and effective removal of bacterial debris after sterilization to promote the healing process. Herein, injectable theranostic hydrogels were constructed from antimicrobial peptide ε-polylysine (ePL) and polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles for real-time diagnosis of infected wounds, imaging-guided antibacterial photodynamic therapy (PDT), and on-demand removal of bacterial debris. Ureido-pyrimidinone was conjugated on ePL to produce PLU hydrogels through quadruple hydrogen bonding, and the inoculation of tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP)-loaded PDA (PTc) nanoparticles introduced Schiff base linkages in PLU@PTc hydrogels. The double-cross-linked networks enhance mechanical performance, adhesion strength, and self-healing properties of hydrogels, and the dynamic cross-linking enables their photothermal removal. The injection of PLU precursors and PTc NPs generates in situ sol-gel transformation, and the acid-triggered release of TCPP restores fluorescence emissions for real-time imaging of infected wounds under 410 nm illumination. Then, the released TCPP in the infected wounds is illuminated at 660 nm to launch a precise antibacterial PDT, which is strengthened by the bacterial capture on hydrogels. Hydrogels with wrapped bacterial debris are removed under illumination at 808 nm, and the hydrogel dressing change accelerates healing of infected wounds through simultaneous relief of oxidative stress, regulation of inflammatory factors, acceleration of collagen deposition, and promotion of angiogenesis. Thus, this study demonstrates a feasible strategy for wound infection theranostics through bacterial infection-triggered visual imaging, efficient nonantibiotic sterilization, and on-demand dressing change and bacterial debris removal.

Abstract
Drug carriers endowed with photothermal effects will allow the drug delivery system to release drugs in a thermal-stimuli manner. In addition, the photothermal therapy (PTT) will also interplay with therapeutic drugs loaded in the carrier to exhibit synergistic bioactivity for various disease treatment. However, endowing the drug carrier with photothermal and synergistic therapeutic effects still has challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that surface modification of porous silicon (PSi) with polydopamine (PDA) could endow the classical drug carrier with a significant photothermal effect for advanced antibacterial therapy and wound disinfection. Specifically, the PSi surface interacts with a Cu2+/PDA complex via a simple and fast surface reduction-induced deposition method, forming the unique CuPDA coated PSi microcarrier (CuPPSi) without blocking the mesoporous structure. The CuPPSi carrier generates a higher near-infrared (NIR) photothermal efficiency and improved drug loading capacity owing to the abundant functional groups of PDA. Stimuli-responsive release of antibacterial Cu2+ and loaded curcumin (Cur) from CuPPSi can be realized under multiple stimuli including pH, reactive oxygen species and NIR laser irradition. Benefited from the carrier's intrinsic multimodal therapy, the CuPPSi-Cur platform exhibits amplified, broad-spectrum, and synergistic antibacterial effect, killing more than 98% for both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli at a mild PTT temperature (∼45 °C). Notably, the combined therapy promotes migration of fibroblasts with no significant cytotoxicity as revealed through cell experiments in vitro. In bacteria-infected mice model, efficient bacterial ablation and wound healing are further demonstrated with negligible side effects in vivo. Overall, the rational design of a drug carrier with photothermal and therapeutic effects provides a novel intervention for amplifing wound disinfection clinically.

Abstract
Biofilms in water storage systems may harbor pathogens that threaten public health. Chemical disinfectants are marginally effective in eradicating biofilms due to limited penetration, and often generate harmful disinfection byproducts. To enhance biofouling mitigation in household water storage tanks, we encapsulated bacteriophages (phages) in chitosan crosslinked with tri-polyphosphate and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane. Phages served as self-propagating green biocides that exclusively infect bacteria. This pH-responsive encapsulation (244 ± 11 nm) enabled autonomous release of phages in response to acidic pH associated with biofilms (corroborated by confocal microscopy with pH-indicator dye SNARF-4F), but otherwise remained stable in pH-neutral tap water for one month. Encapsulated phages instantly bind to plasma-treated plastic and fiberglass surfaces, providing a facile coating method that protects surfaces highly vulnerable to biofouling. Biofilm formation assays were conducted in tap water amended with 200 mg/L glucose to accelerate growth and attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen commonly associated with biofilms in drinking water distribution and storage systems. Biofilms formation on plastic surfaces coated with encapsulated phages decreased to only 6.7 ± 0.2% (on a biomass basis) relative to the uncoated controls. Likewise, biofilm surface area coverage (4.8 ± 0.2 log CFU/mm2) and live/dead fluorescence ratio (1.80) were also lower than the controls (6.6 ± 0.2 log CFU/mm2 and live/dead ratio of 11.05). Overall, this study offers proof-of-concept of a chemical-free, easily implementable approach to control problematic biofilm-dwelling bacteria and highlights benefits of this bottom-up biofouling control approach that obviates the challenge of poor biofilm penetration by biocides.

Abstract
Two-dimensional polymeric networks are a new class of polymers with interesting physicochemical and biological properties. They promise a wide range of future biomedical applications including pathogen interactions, drug delivery, bioimaging, photothermal, and photodynamic therapy, owing to their unique features, such as high surface area and multivalent interactions at nano-biointerfaces. In this work, a thermosensitive two-dimensional polymeric network consisting poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) chains that are mechanically interlocked by a polyglycerol platform was synthesized and used for bacteria incapacitation. Two-dimensional hyperbranched polyglycerol (2D-hPG) was synthesized by a graphene-assisted strategy and used for encapsulation of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). Radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide by encapsulated AIBN resulted in thermoresponsive platforms with ~ 500 nm lateral size and 20-50 nm thickness. Due to its porous structure, 2D-PNPG was able to efficiently load antibiotics, such as tetracycline (TC) and amoxicillin (AMX). The rate of release of antibiotics from 2D-PNPG and the antibacterial activity of the system correlated with the variation of temperature as a result of the thermosensitivity of 2D-PNPG. This study shows that two-dimensional polymers are efficient platforms for future biomedical applications including drug delivery and bacteria incapacitation. Graphical abstract Thermoresponsive two-dimensional nanomaterials with the ability of loading therapeutic agents and antibacterial activity are synthesized and characterized.

Abstract
Smart multifunctional polymeric micelles are in urgent demand for future cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this paper, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded folic acid (FA)-targeting and pH-responsive cell membrane mimetic mixed micelles of P(DMAEMA-co-MaPCL) (PCD) and FA-P(MPC-co-MaPCL) (PMCF) (mass ratio 5/5) were prepared by a dialysis method. The micelle size, morphology, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), pH responsiveness, in vitro DOX release, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake were studied in detail. The results indicated that DOX could be efficiently loaded into mixed micelles (PDMCF micelles), and the DOX-loaded mixed micelles (DOX@PDMCF micelles) exhibited a size of 150 nm and pH-responsive DOX release in an extended period. Furthermore, the DOX@PDMCF micelles could efficiently suppress the proliferation of tumor cells, HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Our data suggest that the DOX@PDMCF micelles have the potential to be applied in tumor therapy, especially for treating various folate receptor overexpressed tumors.

Abstract
To further enhance the cancerous cellular uptakes and increase the drug release of the drug loaded micelles, herein, we fabricated a series of mixed micelles with different mass ratios using two amphiphilic copolymers P(DMAEMA-co-MaPCL) and PCL-SS-PMPC. The mixed micelles showed a prolonged circulation time due to the zwitterionic shells in a physiological environment (pH 7.4). In addition, because of the protonation of tertiary amine groups in PDMAEMA and the breakage of the disulfide bond in PMPC-SS-PCL in a tumor microenvironment, the mixed micelles aggregated, which led to enhanced cancerous cellular penetration and increased DOX release. Moreover, cytotoxicity assay showed that the mixed micelles had good biocompatibility to L929, HeLa and MCF-7 cells, even at a concentration of up to 1 mg mL-1. Furthermore, enhanced antitumour activity and cellular uptake of HeLa and MCF-7 cells were detected after loading with DOX, which was determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and flow cytometry (FC), especially for the DOX@MIX 3 micelles (20% mass ratio of the P(DMAEMA-co-MaPCL)). Therefore, the mixed strategy provides a simple and efficient ways to promote anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Tigecycline is regarded as the last line of defense to combat multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, increasing utilization has led to rising drug resistance and treatment failure. Here, we design a D-alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate-modified and S-thanatin peptide-functionalized nanorods based on calcium phosphate nanoparticles for tigecycline delivery and pneumonia therapy caused by tigecycline-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. After incubation with bacteria, the fabricated nanorods can enhance tigecycline accumulation in bacteria via the inhibitory effect on efflux pumps exerted by D-alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate and the targeting capacity of S-thanatin to bacteria. The synergistic antibacterial capacity between S-thanatin and tigecycline further enhances the antibacterial activity of nanorods, thus overcoming the tigecycline resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae. After intravenous injection, nanorods significantly reduces the counts of white blood cells and neutrophils, decreases bacterial colonies, and ameliorates neutrophil infiltration events, thereby largely increasing the survival rate of mice with pneumonia. These findings may provide a therapeutic strategy for infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. Overproduction of efflux pumps represents an important mechanism of Klebsiella pneumonia resistance to tigecycline. Here, the authors design TPGS- and S-thanatin functionalized nanorods loaded with tigecycline to increase drug accumulation inside bacteria and overcome bacterial resistance.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of drug release behaviors over extended periods of time is critical in understanding the dynamics of drug progression for personalized chemotherapeutic treatment. In this work, we report a metal–organic framework (MOF)-based nanotheranostic system encapsulated with photothermal agents (CuS) and therapeutic drug (DOX) to achieve the capabilities of real-time drug release monitoring and combined chemo-photothermal therapy. Meanwhile, folic acid-conjugated polyethylene glycol (FA-PEG) antennas were connected to the MOF through coordination interactions, endowing the MOF with an enhanced active targeting effect toward cancer cells. It is anticipated that such a theranostic agent, simultaneously possessing tumor-targeting, real-time drug monitoring and effective treatment, will potentially enhance the performance in cancer therapy. A metal–organic framework-based nanotheranostic system was fabricated to achieve the capabilities of tumor-targeting, real-time monitoring of pH-responsive drug release and combined chemo-photothermal therapy.![]()

Abstract
The development of effective treatments against infectious diseases is an extensive and ongoing process due to the rapid adaptation of bacteria to antibiotic-based therapies. However, appropriately designed activity enhancers, including antibiotic delivery systems, can increase the effectiveness of current antibiotics, overcoming antimicrobial resistance and decreasing the chance of contributing to further bacterial resistance. The activity/delivery enhancers improve drug absorption, allow targeted antibiotic delivery, improve their tissue and biofilm penetration and reduce side effects. This review provides insights into various antibiotic activity enhancers, including polymer, lipid, and silver-based systems, designed to reduce the adverse effects of antibiotics and improve formulation stability and efficacy against multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Antibacterial coating with antibiotics is highly effective in avoiding device-associated infections (DAIs) which is an unsolved healthcare problem that causes significant morbidity and mortality rates. However, bacterial drug resistance caused by uncontrolled release of antibiotics seriously restricts clinical efficacy of antibacterial coating. Hence, a local and controlled-release system which can release antibiotics in response to bacterial infected signals is necessary in antibacterial coating. Herein, a multi-stimulus responsive multilayer antibacterial coating was prepared through layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of montmorillonite (MMT), chlorhexidine acetate (CHA) and Poly(protocatechuic acid-polyethylene glycol 1000-bis(phenylboronic acid carbamoyl) cystamine) (PPPB). The coating can be covered on various substrates such as cellulose acetate membrane, polyacrylonitrile membrane, polyvinyl chloride membrane, and polyurethane membrane, proving it is a versatile coating. Under the stimulation of acids, glucose or dithiothreitol, this coating was able to achieve controlled release of CHA and kill more than 99% of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (4 × 108 CFU/mL) within 4 h. In the mouse infection model, CHA releasing of the coating was triggered by infected microenvironment to completely kill bacteria, achieving wounds healing within 14 days.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Numerous drugs have been developed to treat lung cancer patients in recent years, whereas most of these drugs have undesirable adverse effects due to nonspecific distribution in the body. To address this problem, stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems are imparted with unique characteristics and specifically deliver loaded drugs at lung cancer tissues on the basis of internal tumor microenvironment or external stimuli. This review summarized recent studies focusing on the smart carriers that could respond to light, ultrasound, pH, or enzyme, and provided a promising strategy for lung cancer therapy.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15020156. [PMID: 35215269 PMCID: PMC8878207 DOI: 10.3390/ph15020156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2021] [Revised: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
With the merits of excellent efficacy, safety, and facile implementation, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT) represents a promising means for treating bacterial infections. However, APDT shows an unsatisfactory efficacy in combating antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria due to their specific cell wall structure. In this work, we report a perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion (Ce6@FDC) used as a multifunctional nanocargo of photosensitizer and oxygen for sensitizing antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria to APDT. Ce6@FDC was fabricated via ultrasonic emulsification with good colloidal stability, efficient Ce6 and oxygen delivery, and excellent photodynamic activity. Meanwhile, Ce6@FDC could strongly bind with Gram-negative Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) via electrostatic interaction, thus leading to notable photodynamic bactericidal potency upon irradiation. In addition, oxygenated Ce6@FDC also exhibited a remarkable efficacy in eradicating Gram-negative bacteria biofilm, averaging five log units lower than the Ce6 group under identical conditions. Taken together, we demonstrate that photodynamic perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion with oxygen-delivery ability could effectively kill planktonic bacteria and remove biofilm, representing a novel strategy in fighting against antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
This review presents principles and novelties in the field of tissue optical clearing (TOC) technology, as well as application for optical monitoring of drug delivery and effective antimicrobial phototherapy. TOC is based on altering the optical properties of tissue through the introduction of immersion optical cleaning agents (OCA), which impregnate the tissue of interest. We also analyze various methods and kinetics of delivery of photodynamic agents, nanoantibiotics and their mixtures with OCAs into the tissue depth in the context of antimicrobial and antifungal phototherapy. In vitro and in vivo studies of antimicrobial phototherapies, such as photodynamic, photothermal plasmonic and photocatalytic, are summarized, and the prospects of a new TOC technology for effective killing of pathogens are discussed.

Abstract
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges in public health. There is an urgent need to discover novel agents against the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. The drug-resistant pathogens are able to grow and persist in infected sites, including biofilms, phagosomes, or phagolysosomes, which are more difficult to eradicate than planktonic ones and also foster the development of drug resistance. For years, various nano-antibacterial agents have been developed in the forms of antibiotic nanocarriers. Inorganic nanoparticles with intrinsic antibacterial activity and inert nanoparticles assisted by external stimuli, including heat, photon, magnetism, or sound, have also been discovered. Many of these strategies are designed to target the unique microenvironment of bacterial infections, which have shown potent antibacterial effects in vitro and in vivo. This review summarizes ongoing efforts on antibacterial nanotherapeutic strategies related to bacterial infection microenvironments, including targeted antibacterial therapy and responsive antibiotic delivery systems. Several grand challenges and future directions for the development and translation of effective nano-antibacterial agents are also discussed. The development of innovative nano-antibacterial agents could provide powerful weapons against drug-resistant bacteria in systemic or local bacterial infections in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Bacteria can evade the immune system once they are engulfed by phagocytic host cells. This protects them against the bactericidal action of antibiotics and allows the infection to remain latent or to recur. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related stress has been implicated in various pathological conditions such as inflammatory diseases involving infections of host cells and can serve as a useful trigger for intracellular controlled drug delivery. We herein report on a fluorescent ROS-sensitive intracellular antibiotic delivery nanoparticle for encapsulation of rifampin (RIF) based on the principles of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) that is capable of ratiometrically sensing H2O2 levels and monitoring the drug release process. The fluorescent micelles (MFs) are formed through the self-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymers consisting of a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segment and a fluorescent oxidation-responsive hydrophobic phenylboronic pinacol ester (PBA) block. Specifically, MFs could encapsulate the model antibiotic RIF (MF/RIF) and ROS-triggered controlled release of RIF within infected macrophages (where ROS levels are elevated) improved the elimination of intracellular bacteria compared to MF or RIF alone. This antibiotic delivery system may be especially effective at fighting intracellular pathogens that have managed to evade the immune system and could minimize exposure of normal cells and tissues to high drug concentrations.

Abstract
Liposomal delivery systems have been widely explored for targeting superbugs such as S. aureus and MRSA, overcoming antimicrobial resistance associated with conventional dosage forms. They have the significant advantage of delivering hydrophilic and lipophilic antimicrobial agents, either singularly as monotherapy or in combination as combination therapy, due to their bilayers with action-site-specificity, resulting in improved targeting compared to conventional dosage forms. Herein, we present an extensive and critical review of the different liposomal delivery systems employed in the past two decades for the delivery of both antibiotics of different classes and non-antibiotic antibacterial agents, as monotherapy and combination therapy to eradicate infections caused by S. aureus and MRSA. The review also identifies future research and strategies potentiating the applications of liposomal delivery systems against S. aureus and MRSA. This review confirms the potential application of liposomal delivery systems for effective delivery and specific targeting of S. aureus and MRSA infections.

Abstract
The dynamic interactions between drug carrier molecules and a cell membrane can not be ignored in their clinical use. Here a simple, label-free and non-invasive approach, photo-voltage transient method, combined with the atomic force microscopy, dynamic giant unilamellar vesicle leakage assay and cytotoxicity method, was employed for a real-time monitoring of the interaction process. Two representative polymer molecules, polyoxyethylene (35) lauryl ether (Brij35) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPk30), were taken as examples to interact with a phospholipid bilayer membrane in a low ionic strength and neutral pH condition. Brij35 demonstrated an adsorption-accumulation-permeabilization dominated process under the modulation of polymer concentration in the solution. In contrast, PVPk30 performed a dynamic balance between adsorption-desorption of the molecules and/or permeabilization-resealing of the membrane. Such difference explains the high and low cytotoxicity of them, respectively, in the living cell tests. Briefly, through combining the photo-voltage approach with conventional fluorescent microscopy method, this work demonstrates new ideas on the time and membrane actions of polymer surfactants which should be taken into account for their biomedical applications.

Abstract
The biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of drugs are vital to the mechanistic understanding of their efficacy. Measuring antimicrobial drug efficacy has been challenging as plasma drug concentration is used as a surrogate for tissue drug concentration, yet typically does not reflect that at the intended site(s) of action. Utilizing an image-guided approach, it is feasible to accurately quantify the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics within the desired site(s) of action. We outline imaging modalities used in visualizing drug distribution with examples ranging from in vitro cellular drug uptake to clinical treatment of microbial infections. The imaging modalities of interest are: radio-labeling, magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry imaging, computed tomography, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy. We outline the progress, limitations, and future outlook for each methodology. Further advances in these optical approaches would benefit patients and researchers alike, as non-invasive imaging could yield more profound insights with a lower clinical burden than invasive measurement approaches used today.

Abstract
Bacteria have developed a wealth of strategies to avoid and resist the action of antibiotics, one of which involves pathogens invading and forming reservoirs within host cells. Due to the poor cell membrane permeability, stability and retention of conventional antibiotics, this renders current treatments largely ineffective, since achieving a therapeutically relevant antibiotic concentration at the site of intracellular infection is not possible. To overcome such challenges, current antibiotics are 'repurposed' via reformulation using micro- or nano-carrier systems that effectively encapsulate and deliver therapeutics across cellular membranes of infected cells. Bioinspired materials that imitate the uptake of biological particulates and release antibiotics in response to natural stimuli are recently explored to improve the targeting and specificity of this 'nanoantibiotic' approach. In this review, the mechanisms of internalization and survival of intracellular bacteria are elucidated, effectively accentuating the current treatment challenges for intracellular infections and the implications for repurposing conventional antibiotics. Key case studies of nanoantibiotics that have drawn inspiration from natural biological particles and cellular uptake pathways to effectively eradicate intracellular pathogens are detailed, clearly highlighting the rational for harnessing bioinspired drug delivery strategies.

Abstract
Treatment of chronic wound infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus is highly challenging due to the low efficacy of existing formulations, thereby leading to drug resistance. Herein, we present the synthesis of a nonimmunogenic cholic acid-glycine-glycine conjugate (A6) that self-assembles into a supramolecular viscoelastic hydrogel (A6 gel) suitable for topical applications. The A6 hydrogel can entrap different antibiotics with high efficacy without compromising its viscoelastic behavior. Activities against different bacterial species using a disc diffusion assay demonstrated the antimicrobial effect of the ciprofloxacin-loaded A6 hydrogel (CPF-Gel). Immune profiling and gene expression studies after the application of the A6 gel to mice confirmed its nonimmunogenic nature to host tissues. We further demonstrated that topical application of CPF-Gel clears S. aureus-mediated wound infections more effectively than clinically used formulations. Therefore, cholic acid-derived hydrogels are an efficacious matrix for topical delivery of antibiotics and should be explored further.

Abstract
Chronic infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa pose severe threats to human health. Traditional antibiotic therapy has lost its total supremacy in this battle. Here, nanoplatforms activated by the clinical microenvironment are developed to treat P. aeruginosa infection on the basis of dynamic borate ester bonds. In this design, the nanoplatforms expose targeted groups for bacterial capture after activation by an acidic infection microenvironment, resulting in directional transport delivery of the payload to bacteria. Subsequently, the production of hyperpyrexia and reactive oxygen species enhances antibacterial efficacy without systemic toxicity. Such a formulation with a diameter less than 200 nm can eliminate biofilm up to 75%, downregulate the level of cytokines, and finally promote lung repair. Collectively, the biomimetic design with phototherapy killing capability has the potential to be an alternative strategy against chronic infections caused by P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
On-demand drug delivery systems using nanofibers have attracted significant attention owing to their controllable properties for drug release through external stimuli. Near-infrared (NIR)-responsive nanofibers provide a platform where the drug release profile can be achieved by the on-demand supply of drugs at a desired dose for cancer therapy. Nanomaterials such as gold nanorods (GNRs) exhibit absorbance in the NIR range, and in response to NIR irradiation, they generate heat as a result of a plasmon resonance effect. In this study, we designed poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) composite nanofibers containing GNRs. PNIPAM is a heat-reactive polymer that provides a swelling and deswelling property to the nanofibers. Electrospun nanofibers have a large surface-area-to-volume ratio, which is used to effectively deliver large quantities of drugs. In this platform, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs can be introduced and manipulated. On-demand drug delivery systems were obtained through stimuli-responsive nanofibers containing GNRs and PNIPAM. Upon NIR irradiation, the heat generated by the GNRs ensures shrinking of the nanofibers owing to the thermal response of PNIPAM, thereby resulting in a controlled drug release. The versatility of the light-responsive nanofibers as a drug delivery platform was confirmed in cell studies, indicating the advantages of the swelling and deswelling property of the nanofibers and on-off drug release behavior with good biocompatibility. In addition, the system has potential for the combination of chemotherapy with multiple drugs to enhance the effectiveness of complex cancer treatments.

Abstract
The escalating rise in the population of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens coupled with their biofilm forming ability has struck the global health as nightmare. Alongwith the threat of aforementioned menace, the sluggish development of new antibiotics and the continuous deterioration of the antibiotic pipeline has stimulated the scientific community toward the search of smart and innovative alternatives. In near future, membrane targeting antimicrobial polymers, inspired from antimicrobial peptides, can stand out significantly to combat against the MDR superbugs. Many of these amphiphilic polymers can form nanoaggregates through self-assembly with superior and selective antimicrobial efficacy. Additionally, these macromolecular nanoaggregrates can be utilized to engineer smart antibiotic-delivery system for on-demand drug-release, exploiting the infection site's micoenvironment. This strategy substantially increases the local concentration of antibiotics and reduces the associated off-target toxicity. Furthermore, amphiphilc macromolecules can be utilized to rejuvinate obsolete antibiotics to tackle the drug-resistant infections. This review article highlights the recent developments in macromolecular architecture to design numerous nanostructures with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, their application in fabricating smart drug delivery systems and their efficacy as antibiotic adjuvants to circumvent antimicrobial resistance. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects are briefly discussed for further exploration and their practical application in clinical settings.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Bacterial biofilm infections have been threatening the human's life and health globally for a long time because they typically cause chronic and persistent infections. Traditional antibiotic therapies can hardly eradicate biofilms in many cases, as biofilms always form a robust fortress for pathogens inside, inhibiting the penetration of drugs. To address the issues, many novel drug carriers emerged as promising strategies for biofilm treatment. Among them, stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have attracted much attentions for their intriguing physicochemical properties, such as tunable size, shape and surface chemistry, especially smart drug release characteristic. Based on the microenvironmental difference between biofilm infection sites and normal tissue, many stimuli, such as bacterial products accumulating in biofilms (enzymes, glutathione, etc.), lower pH and higher H2O2 levels, have been employed and proved in favor of "on-demand" drug release for biofilm elimination. Additionally, external stimuli including light, heat, microwave and magnetic fields are also able to control the drug releasing behavior artificially. In this review, we summarized recent advances in stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for combating biofilm infections, and mainly, focusing on the different stimuli that trigger the drug release. 摘要 , , 。 , , 。 , , 。 , -, , , , 。 , , (, ), pHH2O2, ""。 , , , , 。 , , 。.

pH-responsive aminolipid nanocarriers for antimicrobial peptide delivery. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 603:398-407.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS pH-responsive aminolipid self-assemblies are promising platforms for the targeted delivery of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), with the potential to improve their therapeutic efficiency and physico-chemical stability. EXPERIMENTS pH-sensitive nanocarriers based on dispersed self-assemblies of 1,2-dioleoyl-3-dimethylammonium-propane (DODAP) with the human cathelicidin LL-37 in excess water were characterized at different pH values using small-angle X-ray scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. Fluorescence and electrophoretic mobility measurements were used to probe the encapsulation efficiency of LL-37 and the nanocarriers' surface potential. FINDINGS Upon decreasing pH in the DODAP/water systems, normal oil-in-water emulsions at pH ≥ 5.0 transitioned to emulsions encapsulating inverse hexagonal and cubic structures at pH between 4.5 and 4.0, and mostly positively-charged vesicles at pH < 4.0. These colloidal transformations are driven by the protonation of DODAP upon pH decrease. The larger lipid-water interfacial area provided by the DODAP self-assemblies at pH ≤ 4.5 allowed for an adequate encapsulation efficiency of LL-37, favouring the formation of vesicles in a concentration-dependent manner. Contrary, LL-37 was found to dissociate from the emulsion droplets at pH 6.0. The knowledge on the pH-triggered self-assembly of LL-37 and DODAP, combined with the results on peptide release from the structures contribute to the fundamental understanding of lipid/peptide self-assembly. The results can guide the rational design of future pH-responsive AMP delivery systems.

Abstract
Phototherapy holds great promise in the treatment of bacterial infections, especially the multidrug resistant bacterial infections. However, most therapeutic agents are based on the integration of individual photothermal agents and photosensitizers, always in the activated state, and generally lack bacterial specificity, resulting in uncertain pharmacokinetics and serious nonspecific damage to normal tissues. Herein, we report a pH-responsive nanoplatform with synergistic chemo-phototherapy function for smart fluorescence imaging-guided precision sterilization. pH reversible activated symmetric cyanine was designed and prepared as a bacterial-specific imaging unit and PTT/PDT-in-one agent. Meanwhile, a guanidinium-based covalent organic framework (COF) was employed as a nanocarrier and chemotherapy agent to build the intelligent nanoplatform via electrostatic self-assembly. The self-assembly of the PTT/PDT-in-one agent and the COF greatly improves the stability and blood circulation of the PTT/PDT-in-one agent and provides charge-reversed intelligent targeting ability. The developed smart nanoplatform not only enables bacterial-targeted imaging but also possesses chemo/PTT/PDT synergetic high-efficiency bactericidal effects with little side effects, showing great potential in practical applications.

Abstract
Infectious diseases associated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are ever-growing threats to public health. Effective treatment and detection methods of bacterial infections are in urgent demand. Herein, novel phototheranostic nanoagents (MoS2@HA-Ce6 nanosheets, MHC NSs) with hyaluronidase (HAase)-responsive fluorescence imaging (FLI) and photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) functions were prepared. In this design, Ce6 is used as both a photosensitizer and a fluorescent probe, while MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 NSs) serve as both a fluorescence quencher and a photothermal agent. Hyaluronic acid conjugated with Ce6 (HA-Ce6) was assembled on the surface of MoS2 NSs to form MHC NSs. Without the HAase secreted by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the fluorescence of Ce6 is quenched by MoS2 NSs, while in the presence of MRSA, HAase can degrade the HA and release Ce6, which restores the fluorescence and photodynamic activity of Ce6. The experimental results show that MHC NSs can fluorescently image the MRSA both in vitro and in vivo by HAase activation. Meanwhile, MHC NSs can serve as PTT/PDT dual-mode antibacterial agents for MRSA. In vitro antibacterial results show that MHC NSs can kill 99.97% MRSA under 635 nm and 785 nm laser irradiation. In vivo study further shows that MHC NSs can kill 99.9% of the bacteria in MRSA infected tissues in mice and prompt wound healing by combined PTT/PDT. This work provides novel HAase-responsive phototheranostic nanoagents for effective detection and treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems have attracted widespread attention in recent years since they can control drug release in a spatiotemporal manner and can achieve tunable drug release according to patient's physiological or pathological condition. In this review, we briefly introduce the drug delivery barriers and drug delivery systems in the anterior and posterior segment of eyes, and collect the recent advances in stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems in eyes for controlled drug release in response to exogenous stimuli (ultrasound, magnetic stimulus, electrical stimulus, and light) or endogenous stimuli (enzyme, active oxygen species, temperature, ions, and pH). In addition, the design and mechanisms of the stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems have been summarized in this review, and the advantages and limitations are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Conventional wound dressing materials containing free antibiotics for bacterial wound infections are presented with several limitations, that is, lack of controlled and triggered release capabilities, and may often not be adequate to address the complex bacteria microenvironment of such infections. Additionally, the improper usage of antibiotics may also result in the emergence of drug resistant strains. While delivery systems (i.e., nanoparticles) that encapsulate antibiotics may potentially overcome some of these limitations, their therapeutic outcomes are still less than desirable. For example, premature drug release or unintended drug activation may occur, which would greatly reduce treatment efficacy. To address this, responsive nanoparticle-based antimicrobial therapies could be a promising strategy. Such nanoparticles can be functionalized to react to a single stimulus or multi stimulus within the bacteria microenvironment and subsequently elicit a therapeutic response. Such "intelligent" nanoparticles can be designed to respond to the microenvironment, that is, an acidic pH, the presence of specific enzymes, bacterial toxins, etc. or to an external stimulus, for example, light, thermal, etc. These responsive nanoparticles can be further incorporated into wound dressings to better promote wound healing. This review summarizes and highlights the recent progress on such intelligent nanoparticle-based dressings as potential wound dressings for bacteria-infected wounds, along with the current challenges and prospects for these technologies to be successfully translated into the clinic.

Abstract
Drug-resistant pathogens are less sensitive to traditional antibiotics in many stubborn infections. It is imminently desirable to have an effective alternative therapeutic agent for combating drug-resistant pathogen infections. Herein, a photo-triggered multifunctional nanoplatform (TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs) with efflux pump and heat shock protein expression reversal activity is developed for the highly effective eradication of drug-resistant fungi. Upon 808 nm laser excitation, the hyperthermia originating from a BODIPY derivative (TMOB) can not only melt the phase-change material (PCM) vehicle consisting of hexadecanol and cis-2-dodecenoic acid (BDSF) to on-demand release the quorum sensing molecule BDSF and the antifungal drug fluconazole (FLU), but can also destroy the integrity of the C. albicans cell membrane. Thanks to the release of BDSF from TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs, the expression of drug efflux pumps (MDR1, CDR2, CDR4) and thermotolerant proteins (HSP12, HSP21, HSP60, HSP90) is inhibited, which further boosts the therapeutic effect of chemo/photothermal therapy. Moreover, the hyphal and biofilm formation of C. albicans can be blocked by TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs under 808 nm laser irradiation. In vitro and in vivo results indicate that TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs with good biosafety can efficiently eliminate clinical azole-resistant C. albicans. Thus, TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs exhibits a promising future in the treatment of azole-resistant C. albicans infection.

Abstract
Development of smart switchable surfaces to solve the inevitable bacteria attachment and colonization has attracted much attention; however, it proves very challenging to achieve on-demand regeneration for noncontaminated surfaces. We herein report a smart, host-guest interaction-mediated photo/temperature dual-controlled antibacterial surface, topologically combining stimuli-responsive polymers with nanobactericide. From the point of view of long-chain polymer design, the peculiar hydration layer generated by hydrophilic poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (polyHEMA) segments severs the route of initial bacterial attachment and subsequent proliferation, while the synergistic effect on chain conformation transformation poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (polyNIPAM) and guest complex dissociation azobenzene/cyclodextrin (Azo/CD) complex greatly promotes the on-demand bacterial release in response to the switch of temperature and UV light. Therefore, the resulting surface exhibits triple successive antimicrobial functions simultaneously: (i) resists ∼84.9% of initial bacterial attachment, (ii) kills ∼93.2% of inevitable bacteria attack, and (iii) releases over 94.9% of killed bacteria even after three cycles. The detailed results not only present a potential and promising strategy to develop renewable antibacterial surfaces with successive antimicrobial functions but also contribute a new antimicrobial platform to biomedical or surgical applications.
