Abstract
The convergence of wearable sensors and personalized medicine enhance the ability to sense and control the drug composition and dosage, as well as location and timing of administration. To date, numerous stimuli-triggered smart drug-delivery systems have been developed to detect changes in light, pH, temperature, biomolecules, electric field, magnetic field, ultrasound and mechanical forces. This review examines the major advances within the last 5 years for the three most common light-responsive drug delivery-on-demand strategies: photochemical, photoisomerization and photothermal. Examples are highlighted to illustrate progress of each strategy in drug delivery applications, and key limitations are identified to motivate future research to advance this important field.

Abstract
Many approaches exist for stimuli-triggered cargo release from nanocarriers, but few can provide for on-demand release of multiple payloads, selectively. Here, we report the synthesis of purpurin-phospholipid (Pur-P), a lipid chromophore that has near-infrared absorbance red-shifted by 30 nm compared to a structurally similar pyropheophorbide-phospholipid (Pyr-P). Liposomes containing small amounts of either Pur-P or Pyr-P exhibited similar physical properties and fluorescence self-quenching. Loaded with distinct cargos, Pur-P and Pyr-P liposomes were mixed into a single colloidal suspension and selectively released cargo depending on irradiation wavelength. Spatiotemporal control of distinct cargo release was achieved by controlling multicolor laser placement. Using basic orange and doxorubicin anthraquinones, multidimensional cytotoxicity gradients were established to gauge efficacy against cancer cells using light-released drug. Wavelength selectivity of cargo release was maintained following intramuscular administration to mice.

Abstract
Triggered drug release is a promising strategy for delivering anticancer drugs to cancer cells and tissues. We found that liposomes co-encapsulating calcein (a water-soluble model drug and fluorescence marker) and talaporfin sodium (TPS, a water-soluble photosensitizer) released the drug upon irradiation with a near-infrared (NIR)-laser. The liposomes were composed of phospholipid (DSPC)/helper lipid (DOPE)/cholesterol/PEG-lipid (PEG2000-DSPE) at a molar ratio of 85/10/5/5 and released a large amount of drug (70%<, within 10 min) upon irradiation, but no drug in the absence of NIR-laser irradiation and/or TPS. NIR-laser-triggered drug release was facilitated by the incorporation of DOPE into the liposomes, and the amount of DOPE incorporated affected drug leakage in the absence of NIR-laser-irradiation at 37 °C (body temperature). Drug leakage was tuned by incorporating cholesterol into the liposomes. NIR-laser-triggered drug release from the liposomes was confirmed using the anticancer drug gemcitabine. NIR-laser treatment of liposomes co-encapsulating gemcitabine and TPS provided the maximum cytotoxic effect towards EMT6/P cells. These results suggest that these novel light sensitive liposomes may be useful for drug delivery to cancer cells.

Abstract
The focus of drug delivery is shifting toward smart drug carriers that release the cargo in response to a change in the microenvironment due to an internal or external trigger. As the most clinically successful nanosystem, liposomes naturally come under the spotlight of this trend. This review summarizes the latest development about the design and construction of photo-responsive liposomes with gold nanoparticles for the controlled drug release. Alongside, we overview the mechanism involved in this process and the representative applications.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded stealth liposomes (similar to those in clinical use) can incorporate small amounts of porphyrin-phospholipid (PoP) to enable chemophototherapy (CPT). PoP is also an intrinsic and intrabilayer 64Cu chelator, although how radiolabeling impacts drug delivery has not yet been assessed. Here, we show that 64Cu can radiolabel the stable bilayer of preformed Dox-loaded PoP liposomes with inclusion of 1% ethanol without inducing drug leakage. Dox-PoP liposomes labeled with intrabilayer copper behaved nearly identically to unlabeled ones in vitro and in vivo with respect to physical parameters, pharmacokinetics, and CPT efficacy. Positron emission tomography and near-infrared fluorescence imaging visualized orthotopic mammary tumors in mice with passive liposome accumulation following administration. A single CPT treatment with 665 nm light (200 J/cm2) strongly inhibited primary tumor growth. Liposomes accumulated in lung metastases, based on NIR imaging. These results establish the feasibility of CPT interventions guided by intrinsic multimodal imaging of Dox-loaded stealth PoP liposomes.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) is approved for use in liposomal form for the treatment of ovarian cancer. We previously developed a long-circulating Dox formulation in liposomes containing small amounts of porphyrin-phospholipid, which enables on-demand drug release with near-infrared irradiation. In this study, we present and evaluate a dual-modal, dual-channel light endoscope that allows quantitative reflectance and fluorescence imaging for monitoring of local Dox concentrations in target areas. The endoscope consists of two flexible imaging fibers; one to transmit diagnostic and therapeutic light to the target, and the other to detect fluorescent and reflected light. Thus, the endoscope serves for imaging, for light delivery to trigger drug release, and for monitoring drug concentration kinetics during drug release. We characterized the performance of this endoscope in tissue phantoms and in an in vivo model of ovarian cancer. This study demonstrates the feasibility of non-invasive, quantitative mapping of Dox distribution in vivo via endoscopic imaging.

Abstract
Intratumoral (IT) drug injections reduce systemic toxicity, but delivered volumes and distribution can be inconsistent. To improve IT delivery paradigms, porphyrin-phospholipid (PoP) liposomes are passively loaded with three hydrophilic cargos: sulforhodamine B, a fluorophore; gadolinium-gadopentetic acid, a magnetic resonance (MR) agent; and oxaliplatin, a colorectal cancer chemotherapeutic. Liposome composition is optimized so that cargo is retained in serum and storage, but is released in less than 1 min with exposure to near infrared light. Light-triggered release occurs with PoP-induced photooxidation of unsaturated lipids and all cargos release concurrently. In subcutaneous murine colorectal tumors, drainage of released cargo is delayed when laser treatment occurs 24 h after IT injection, at doses orders of magnitude lower than systemic ones. Delayed light-triggering results in substantial tumor shrinkage relative to controls a week following treatment, although regrowth occurs subsequently. MR imaging reveals that over this time frame, pools of liposomes within the tumor migrate to adjacent regions, possibly leading to altered spatial distribution during triggered drug release. Although further characterization of cargo loading and release is required, this proof-of-principle study suggests that multimodal theranostic IT delivery approaches hold potential to both guide injections and interpret outcomes, in particular when combined with chemo-phototherapy.

Abstract
The possibility of regulating cell signaling with high spatial and temporal resolution within individual cells and complex cellular networks has important implications in biomedicine. In this report, we demonstrate a general strategy that uses near-infrared tissue-penetrating laser pulses to uncage biomolecules from plasmonic gold-coated liposomes, i.e. plasmonic liposomes, to activate cell signaling in a non-thermal, ultrafast and highly controllable fashion. Near-infrared picosecond laser pulse induces transient nanobubbles around plasmonic liposomes. The mechanical force generated from the collapse of nanobubbles rapidly ejects encapsulated compound within 0.1 ms. We showed that single pulse irradiation triggers the rapid intracellular uncaging of calcein from plasmonic liposomes inside endo-lysosomes. The uncaged calcein then evenly distributes over the entire cytosol and nucleus. Furthermore, we demonstrated the ability to trigger calcium signaling in both an immortalized cell line and primary dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons by intracellular uncaging of inositol triphosphate (IP3), an endogenous cell calcium signaling second messenger. Compared with other uncaging techniques, this ultrafast near-infrared light-driven molecular uncaging method is easily adaptable to deliver a wide range of bioactive molecules with an ultrafast optical switch, enabling new possibilities to investigate signaling pathways within individual cells and cellular networks.

Abstract
Phototherapies involve the irradiation of target tissues with light. To further enhance selectivity and potency, numerous molecularly targeted photosensitizers and photoactive nanoparticles have been developed. Active targeting typically involves harnessing the affinity between a ligand and a cell surface receptor for improved accumulation in the targeted tissue. Targeting ligands including peptides, proteins, aptamers and small molecules have been explored for phototherapy. In this review, recent examples of targeted nanomaterials used in phototherapy are summarized.
