Abstract
Sulfite oxidase (SuOx ) is a molybdenum-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate to maintain the intracellular levels of sulfite at an appropriate low level. The deficiency of SuOx would cause severe neurological damage and infant diseases, which makes SuOx of tremendous biomedical importance. Herein, a SuOx mimic nanozyme of PEGylated (polyethylene glycol)-MoO3-x nanoparticles (P-MoO3-x NPs) with abundant oxygen vacancies created by vacancy-engineering is reported. Their level of SuOx -like activity is 12 times higher than that of bulk-MoO3 . It is also established that the superior increased enzyme mimetic activity is due to the introduction of the oxygen vacancies acting as catalytic hotspots, which allows better sulfite capture ability. It is found that vitamin B1 (VB1) inhibits the SuOx mimic activity of P-MoO3-x NPs through the irreversible cleavage by sulfite and the electrostatic interaction with P-MoO3-x NPs. A colorimetric platform is developed for the detection of VB1 with high sensitivity (the low detection limit is 0.46 µg mL-1 ) and good selectivity. These findings pave the way for further investigating the nanozyme which possess intrinsic SuOx mimicing activity and is thus a promising candidate for biomedical detection.

Abstract
Inorganic nanophotonic materials (INPMs) are considered to be promising diagnosis and therapeutic agents for in vivo applications, such as bio-imaging, photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. However, some concerns remain regarding these materials, such as undesirable long-term in vivo accumulation and associated toxicity. The inability to be degraded or cleared has decreased their likelihood to be used for potential clinical translations. To this end, new strategies have recently emerged to develop systematically clearable INPMs. Thus, this review provides an overview of these strategies used to expedite the clearance of INPMs, as well as the relevant design and functionalized modifications which are available to engineer the above materials. Along with their important applications in the fields of in vivo diagnoses and therapies, the challenges and outlook for in vivo clearable INPMs are also discussed. This attempt to explore in vivo clearable INPMs to inhibit their accumulation toxicity may represent the solution to a ubiquitous physiological issue, thus paving a new avenue for the development of novel optical nanomaterials for biophotonic applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) using plasmonic nanoparticles for cancer treatment is on the verge of clinical application. Titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles offer a promising alternative to commonly used gold-based systems at a fraction of the costs. Little is known, however, about the relationship between TiN particle characteristics and their optical properties in colloidal systems. Here, TiN nanoparticles with closely controlled characteristics are prepared by nitridation of TiO2, and their use as PTT agents is explored. Emphasis is placed on the particle surface and core oxygen content, which dominate the TiN optical properties. Colloidal suspensions were studied under UV-vis and near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation and correlated to particle characteristics. High nitridation temperatures and long residence times lead to increased NIR light absorption. Too high nitridation temperatures, however, lead to particle aggregation that deteriorated their optical properties. This was overcome with SiO2 coating of TiO2 nanoparticles prior to nitridation: the resulting SiO2-coated TiN particles exhibited increased plasmonic performance compared to bare TiN, which is attributed to reduced plasmonic coupling effects. The optimized SiO2-coated TiN had a photothermal efficiency of 58.5% and mass extinction coefficient of 31.6 L g-1 cm-1, outperforming commercial gold nanoshells that are used in clinical trials. The potential of SiO2-coated TiN for photothermal therapy was demonstrated by controllably killing HeLa cells in vitro.

Abstract
Phototherapies including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have emerged as one of the avant-garde strategies for cancer treatment. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a new hybrid imaging modality that shows great promise for real-time in vivo monitoring of biological processes with deep tissue penetration and high spatial resolution. To enhance therapeutic efficacy, reduce side effects and minimize the probability of over-medication, it is necessary to use imaging and diagnostic methods to identify the ideal therapeutic window and track the therapeutic outcome. With this regard, nanotheranostics with the ability to conduct PA imaging and PTT/PDT are emerging. This review summarizes the recent progress of organic nanomaterials including nearinfrared (NIR) dyes and semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) in PA imaging guided cancer phototherapy, and also addresses their present challenges and potential in clinical applications.

Abstract
During the last few decades, nanotechnology has established many essential applications in the biomedical field and in particular for cancer therapy. Not only can nanodelivery systems address the shortcomings of conventional chemotherapy such as limited stability, non-specific biodistribution and targeting, poor water solubility, low therapeutic indices, and severe toxic side effects, but some of them can also provide simultaneous combination of therapies and diagnostics. Among the various therapies, the combination of chemo- and photothermal therapy (CT-PTT) has demonstrated synergistic therapeutic efficacies with minimal side effects in several preclinical studies. In this regard, inorganic nanostructures have been of special interest for CT-PTT, owing to their high thermal conversion efficiency, application in bio-imaging, versatility, and ease of synthesis and surface modification. In addition to being used as the first type of CT-PTT agents, they also include the most novel CT-PTT systems as the potentials of new inorganic nanomaterials are being more and more discovered. Considering the variety of inorganic nanostructures introduced for CT-PTT applications, enormous effort is needed to perform translational research on the most promising nanomaterials and to comprehensively evaluate the potentials of newly introduced ones in preclinical studies. This review provides an overview of most novel strategies used to employ inorganic nanostructures for cancer CT-PTT as well as cancer imaging and discusses current challenges and future perspectives in this area.

Abstract
Engineering a versatile oncotherapy nanoplatform integrating both diagnostic and therapeutic functions has always been an intractable challenge in targeted cancer treatment. Herein, to actualize the theme of precise medicine, a nanoplatform is developed by anchoring Mn-Cdots to doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded mesoporous silica-coated gold cube-in-cubes core/shell nanocomposites and further conjugating them to a Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide (denoted as RGD-CCmMC/DOX) to achieve an active-targeting effect. Under 635 nm irradiation, the nanoplatform acts as oxygen nanogenerator that produces O2 in situ and amplifies the content of singlet oxygen (1O2) in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME), which has been demonstrated to attenuate tumor hypoxia and synchronously enhance photodynamic efficacy. Moreover, the gold cube-in-cube core in this work has been proven as a photothermal agent for hyperthermia, which exhibits a favorable photothermal effect with a 65.6% calculated photothermal conversion efficiency under 808 nm irradiation. In addition, the nanoplatform achieves heat- and pH-sensitive drug release with precise control to specific-tumor sites, executing combined chemo-phototherapy functions. Besides, it functions as a multimodal bioimaging agent of photothermal, fluorescence, and magnetic resonance imaging for the accurate diagnosis and guidance of therapy. As validated by in vivo and in vitro assays, the TME-responsive nanoplatform is highly biocompatible and effectively obliterates 4T1 tumor xenografts on nude mice after triple-synergetic treatment. This work presents a rational design of versatile nanoplatforms, which modulate the TME to enable high therapeutic performance and multiplexed imaging, which provides an innovative paradigm for targeted tumor therapy.

Abstract
TiO2 nanoparticles have emerged as satisfactory sonosensitizers in sonodynamic therapy over the years, but shortcomings such as poor drug loading capability and inadequate techniques to construct suitable TiO2 nanoparticles, limit their broader applications. Hence, in this paper, versatile nanocomposites that combine mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles (mTiO2 s) with the promising photothermal material, polypyrrole (PPY) to exert synergistic therapeutic effects on tumors are fabricated. The PPY-coated mesoporous TiO2 nanocomposites (mTiO2 @PPYs) act as drug delivery vehicles and ultrasonically activated sonosensitizers as well as photothermal agents. Besides, mTiO2 @PPY may have potential as an ultrasound/photoacoustic (US/PA) imaging contrast agent. The mTiO2 @PPY shows a favorable drug loading and good photothermal conversion ability. Moreover, intracellular reactive oxygen species generation is verified. The in vitro cell experiments on HepG2 and 4T1 cells demonstrate that honokiol (HNK)-loaded mTiO2 @PPY has satisfactory cytotoxicity under laser and US irradiation, and the results are further validated by animal experiments. The ability of mTiO2 @PPY as a contrast agent for US and PA imaging is investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The results indicate that mTiO2 @PPY-HNK has multitherapeutic effects and bimodal imaging property, which shows great prospect as a novel nanosystem in antitumor applications.

Abstract
Combining informative imaging methodologies with effective treatments to destroy tumors is of great importance for oncotherapy. Versatile nanotheranostic agents that inherently possess both diagnostic imaging and therapeutic capabilities are highly desirable to meet these requirements. Here, a simple but powerful nanoplatform based on polydopamine-coated gold nanostar (GNS@PDA), which can be easily diversified to achieve various function extensions, is designed to realize functional and anatomical imaging-guided photothermal oncotherapy. This nanoplatform intrinsically enables computed tomography/photoacoustic/two-photon luminescence/infrared thermal tetramodal imaging and can further incorporate fibroblast activation protein (FAP, a protease highly expressed in most of tumors) activatable near-infrared fluorescence imaging and Fe3+-based magnetic resonance imaging for comprehensive diagnosis. Moreover, GNS@PDA exhibits excellent photothermal performance and efficient tumor accumulation. Under the precise guidance of multimodal imaging, GNS@PDA conducts homogeneous photothermal ablation of bulky solid tumors (∼200 mm3) in a xenograft mouse model. These results suggest great promise of this extendable nanoplatform for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
The preclinical landscape of photoacoustic imaging has experienced tremendous growth in the past decade. This non-invasive imaging modality augments the spatiotemporal capabilities of ultrasound with optical contrast. While it has principally been investigated for diagnostic applications, many recent reports have described theranostic delivery systems and drug monitoring strategies using photoacoustics. Here, we provide an overview of the progress to date while highlighting work in three specific areas: theranostic nanoparticles, real-time drug monitoring, and stem cell ("living drug") tracking. Additionally, we discuss the challenges that remain to be addressed in this burgeoning field.

Abstract
Development of near infrared (NIR) light-responsive nanomaterials for high performance multimodal phototherapy within a single nanoplatform is still challenging in technology and biomedicine. Herein, a new phototherapeutic nanoagent based on FDA-approved Prussian blue (PB) functionalized oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide nanoparticles (MoO3-x NPs) is strategically designed and synthesized by a facile one-pot size/morphology-controlled process. The as-prepared PB-MoO3-x nanocomposites (NCs) with a uniform particle size of ∼90 nm and high water dispersibility exhibited strong optical absorption in the first biological window, which is induced by plasmon resonance in an oxygen-deficient MoO3-x semiconductor. More importantly, PB-MoO3-x NCs not only exhibited a high photothermal conversion efficiency of ∼63.7% and photostability but also offered a further approach for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon singular NIR light irradiation which significantly improved the therapeutic efficiency of the PB agent. Furthermore, PB-MoO3-x NCs showed a negligible cytotoxic effect in the dark, but an excellent therapeutic effect toward two triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines at a low concentration (20 μg mL-1) of NCs and a moderate NIR laser power density. Additionally, efficient tumor ablation and metastasis inhibition in a 4T1 TNBC mouse tumor model can also be realized by synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) under a single continuous NIR wave laser. Taken together, this study paved the way for the use of a single nanosystem for multifunctional therapy.

Abstract
Nanostructures of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) have raised scientific interest in the last few decades. Tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanotubes and nanoparticles are among the most extensively studied members in this group, and are used for, e.g., polymer reinforcement, lubrication and electronic devices. Their biocompatibility and low toxicity make them suitable for medical and biological applications. One potential application is photothermal therapy (PTT), a method for the targeted treatment of cancer, in which a light-responsive material is irradiated with a laser in the near-infrared range. In the current article we present WS2 nanotubes functionalized with previously reported ceric ammonium nitrate-maghemite (CAN-mag) nanoparticles, used for PTT. Functionalization of the nanotubes with CAN-mag nanoparticles resulted in a magnetic nanocomposite. When tested in vitro with two types of cancer cells, the functionalized nanotubes showed a better PTT activity compared to non-functionalized nanotubes, as well as reduced aggregation and the ability to add a second-step functionality. This ability is demonstrated here with two polymers grafted onto the nanocomposite surface, and other functionalities could be additional cancer therapy agents for achieving increased therapeutic activity.

Abstract
It is of extreme importance to reduce side effects resulting from the nonspecific uptake of phototherapeutic agents by normal tissues. Currently, the single responsive strategy still cannot entirely satisfy the requirements of practical applications. In this study, we developed one kind of combination-responsive phototherapeutic nanoplatforms, where oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide (MoO3- x) hybridized hyaluronic acid (HA) hollow nanospheres, namely, MoO3- x@HA HNSs, were constructed via a facile one-step method. In MoO3- x@HA HNSs, the reasonable combination of actively targeted specificity endowed by the HA component and tumor microenvironment-responsive phototherapy activity induced by the MoO3- x component can effectively improve the precision of phototherapy. The in vitro and in vivo experimental results confirm that MoO3- x@HA HNSs can selectively kill CD44-overexpressing cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth under an 808 nm laser irradiation, revealing their remarkable synergistic photothermal therapy/photodynamic therapy effect with CD44 receptor-targeted specificity and pH responsiveness in treating cancer. We also prove that MoO3- x@HA HNSs can serve as one kind of contrast agent to achieve the computed tomography/photoacoustic imaging. Encouraged by these results, it is anticipated that the reasonable combination of active targeting and tumor microenvironment responsiveness can be a promising strategy to develop phototherapeutic nanoplatforms for precise multimodality cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Development of stimuli-responsive theranostics is of great importance for precise cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) modified bismuth nanoraspberries (Bi-BSA NRs) are developed as cancer theranostic agents for multimodal imaging and chemo-photothermal combination therapy. The Bi-BSA NRs are synthesized in aqueous phase via a facile reduction method using Bi2O3 nanospheres as the sacrificial template. The morphology, biocompatibility, photothermal effect, drug loading/releasing abilities, chemotherapy effect, synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy efficacy, and multimodal imaging capacities of Bi-BSA NRs have been investigated. The results show that the NRs possess multiple unique features including (i) raspberry-like morphology with high specific surface area (∼52.24 m2·g-1) and large cavity (total pore volume ∼0.30 cm3·g-1), promising high drug loading capacity (∼69 wt %); (ii) dual-stimuli responsive drug release, triggered by acidic pH and NIR laser irradiation; (iii) infrared thermal (IRT), photoacoustic (PA) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) trimodality imaging with the CT contrast enhanced efficiency as high as ∼66.7 HU·mL·mg-1; (iv) 100% tumor elimination through the combination chemo-photothermal therapy. Our work highlights the great potentials of Bi-BSA NRs as a versatile theranostics for multimodal imaging and combination therapy.

Abstract
Although various types of photothermal agents are developed for photothermal cancer therapy, relatively few photothermal agents exhibit high tumor inhibition rate under relatively mild conditions. Herein, a multifunctional Bi2 S3 -Tween 20 nanoplatform loaded with PI3K inhibitor LY294002 is designed as a novel photothermal agent for inhibitor and photothermal synergistic therapy of tumors under mild photothermal therapy conditions. The LY294002 of PI3K inhibitor, after being loaded by Bi2 S3 -Tween 20 nanodots, exhibits greatly increased drug utilization and reduced side effects on normal tissues. In vivo, Bi2 S3 -Tween 20@LY294002 upon near-infrared 808 nm laser irradiation shows potent antitumor activity under relatively mild conditions (power density: 0.6 W cm-2 ). Moreover, the mechanism studies also demonstrate that Bi2 S3 -Tween 20@LY294002 potently kills LoVo cancer cells under low-power near-infrared light irradiation, by downregulating the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) so as to increase the sensitivity of tumor cell hyperthermia and activating BAX/BAK-regulated mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. The results demonstrate that the newly synthesized multifunctional nanoplatform paves a new avenue for accurate therapy of photothermal-resistant cancer.

Abstract
A scalable and low-cost strategy is developed to fabricate a novel CuS/SiO2-based nanotherapeutic agent for dual-model imaging-guided photothermal/photodynamic combined therapy. In this design, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with CuS bundled in the channel are obtained in aqueous solution via in situ growth route for the first time. Furthermore, to achieve a more efficient therapy, photosensitizer (complex Ir-2) and bovine serum albumin are sequentially assembled via layer-by-layer method. The as-prepared complex Ir-2 presents a remarkably high 1O2 generation (ΦΔ = 1.3) under light illumination to offer effective photodynamic cell killing, and MSN/CuS exhibits high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 31.7%) under illumination by 808 nm light to offer hyperthermia tumor ablation. In vitro and in vivo analyses show that the as-obtained nanotherapeutic agents exhibit excellent performance in tumor therapy even under irradiation with low power because of the high yield of 1O2 combined with the high photothermal conversion efficiency. Additionally, the nanotherapeutic agents are readily visualized in vivo via near-infrared fluorescence and thermal imaging. More importantly, based on the strategy of in situ growth and layer-by-layer assembly developed in this study, the development of other "all-in-one" multifunctional theranostic platform with high efficiency can be predictable.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) tomography is a noninvasive technology that utilizes near-infrared (NIR) excitation and ultrasonic detection to image biological tissue at centimeter depths. While several activatable small-molecule PA sensors have been developed for various analytes, the use of PA molecules for deep-tissue analyte delivery and monitoring remains an underexplored area of research. Herein, we describe the synthesis, characterization, and in vivo validation of photoNOD-1 and photoNOD-2, the first organic, NIR-photocontrolled nitric oxide (NO) donors that incorporate a PA readout of analyte release. These molecules consist of an aza-BODIPY dye appended with an aryl N-nitrosamine NO-donating moiety. The photoNODs exhibit chemostability to various biological stimuli, including redox-active metals and CYP450 enzymes, and demonstrate negligible cytotoxicity in the absence of irradiation. Upon single-photon NIR irradiation, photoNOD-1 and photoNOD-2 release NO as well as rNOD-1 or rNOD-2, PA-active products that enable ratiometric monitoring of NO release. Our in vitro studies show that, upon irradiation, photoNOD-1 and photoNOD-2 exhibit 46.6-fold and 21.5-fold ratiometric turn-ons, respectively. Moreover, unlike existing NIR NO donors, the photoNODs do not require encapsulation or multiphoton activation for use in live animals. In this study, we use PA tomography to monitor the local, irradiation-dependent release of NO from photoNOD-1 and photoNOD-2 in mice after subcutaneous treatment. In addition, we use a murine model for breast cancer to show that photoNOD-1 can selectively affect tumor growth rates in the presence of NIR light stimulation following systemic administration.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a major target for the treatment of colorectal cancers (CRCs), and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is an attractive target for CRC immunotherapy. Herein, we report the synthesis of porphyrin-containing liposomal nanohybrid cerasomes decorated with cetuximab, an anti-EGFR antibody, and conjugated with IRDye800CW and MRI contrast DOTA-Gd, to enable in vivo tumor detection and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Moreover, PD-L1 was added for adjuvant therapy. The antitumor efficacy of PDT combined with PD-L1 immunotherapy was assessed. EGFR-targeted nanoparticles showed the targeted imaging of tumors. EGFR-targeted PDT combined with PD-L1 immunotherapy was more effective against tumor growth than simultaneous albeit nontargeted nanoparticle delivery with laser irradiation plus PD-L1 immunotherapy. Thus, EGFR-targeted nanoparticles exhibited significant potential toward dual-modality imaging-guided precise PDT, combined with immunotherapy.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a new and attractive imaging modality, and it has strong potential for application in the early detection of tumors through the use of optically absorbing targeted contrast agents. Ag2S quantum dots (QD) are a promising bionanomaterial and have attracted significant attention in the field of bioimaging. In this study, water-soluble and carboxylic acid group-coated Ag2S QDs with an ultrasmall size (∼8 nm) were synthesized via a one-step method. Their surface plasmon resonance wavelength was determined to be ∼800 nm, which is ideal for PAI. Ag2S QDs were then modified with the epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) targeted small protein affibody ZEGFR:1907. The resulted nanoprobe, ZEGFR:1907-Ag2S QDs, was then used for targeted PAI of EGFR-overexpressed tumors. The biodistribution of the nanoprobe was further measured by ex vivo near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging of the dissected tissues. The PAI results showed that ZEGFR:1907-Ag2S QDs specifically image EGFR positive tumors. The biodistribution study revealed that the nanoprobe mainly accumulated in the liver, spleen and tumors; tissue H&E staining studies indicated that the probe has good biocompatibility. Overall, the affibody-functionalized Ag2S QDs are a novel targeted nanoprobe that can be used for specific PAI of tumors.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is currently the major therapeutic method against cancer. However, chemo drugs are usually lacking in the specificity towards cancer cells over normal cells. In this study, we prepared a novel multifunctional trimeric prodrug by linking the chemo drug camptothecin (CPT) and the exceptional photostable near infrared (NIR) croconaine dye (CR) via a glutathione (GSH)-sensitive disulfide linker. Compared with CPT, our novel trimeric CR-(SS-CPT)2 is more hydrophobic and bulky, making it highly effcient to be encapsulated into biocompatible polymeric nanocarrier. The prodrug underwent rapid drug release specifically in cancer cells with high GSH concentration. The hyperthermia produced by CR upon laser irradiation could further accelerate the break of disulfide bond, which makes the release of CPT even more controllable. We further loaded the CR-(SS-CPT)2 into folate modified lipid-polymer nanoparticles, which demonstrated high in vivo tumor accumulation and retention. The biodistribution of these nanoparticles can be directly monitored in real time via NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging. Under the imaging guided chemo- and photothermal- synergistic therapy, the tumors were completely ablated with no recurrence. The design not only highly enhanced the therapeutic specificity and effeciency of CPT, but also provide a "all in one" nanomedicine for imaging-guided dual modality therapy.

Abstract
Development of tumor microenvironment responsive and modulating theranostic nano-systems is of great importance for specific and efficient cancer therapy. Herein, we report a redox-sensitive nanoagent combining manganese dioxide (MnO2) and gold nanoshell coated silicon nanoparticles for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy of hypoxia solid tumors. In highly reducing tumor tissues, the outer MnO2 nanosheet with the loaded drug would be dissociated by intracellular glutathione (GSH), resulting in on-demand drug release, as well as generating Mn2+ ions which provided high contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and fluorescence imaging (FI) in vitro and in vivo. While upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, the gold nanoshell modulated the hypoxic tumor microenvironment via increasing blood flow, achieving enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy. After tail vein injection into tumor-bearing mice and monitoring in real time, the intelligent redox-activated nanoagent exhibited high tumor accumulation and powerful synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy efficiency. The proposed work developed a noninvasive strategy to modulate the tumor microenvironment and enhance the anticancer therapeutic effect. We believe that this single nano-platform exhibits promising potential as a comprehensive theranostic agent to enhance the efficacies of synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Despite drug delivery systems (DDSs) receiving ever-increasing attention, development of a simple, effective, sensitive and clearable drug delivery and multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform for cancer therapy is still highly desirable and remains a challenge. Herein, using a one-step solvothermal method, hollow acanthosphere-like CuS superstructures assembled from ∼10 nm nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully obtained and used as an efficient drug delivery and theranostic platform for photoacoustic (PA) and infrared (IR) thermal imaging-guided cancer combination therapy. The special hollow characteristic of CuS superstructures with mesoporous shells and large cavities grants them high drug loading capacity; they demonstrate near-infrared (NIR)/pH stimuli-sensitive drug release and pronounced synergetic effects of chemo-photothermal therapy both in vitro and in vivo. In particular, our as-fabricated hollow loose CuS superstructures, with easily breakable characteristic, are biodegradable and able to be cleared from the body when their therapy task is completed. This CuS-superstructure-based clearable drug delivery and "all-in-one" cancer theranostic platform might provide possibilities for improving therapeutic efficacy and minimizing adverse effects.

Abstract
Recently, nano-sized ultrasound contrast agents encapsulating drugs for cancer diagnosis and therapy have attracted much attention. However, the ultrasound signal of these agents is too weak to obtain an ideal ultrasound imaging effect. Furthermore, conventional ultrasound contrast agents with strong echo signal are not suitable for drug delivery against cancer because of their large size. To circumvent this problem, phase-transition ultrasound contrast agents are believed to be an excellent choice. Methods: Liposomes co-encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX), hollow gold nanospheres (HAuNS), and perfluorocarbon (PFC) were synthesized by film dispersion method. The morphology, particle size, and stability of these liposomes (DHPL) were investigated. The photothermal effect, drug release, particle size change, cytotoxicity, and ultrasound imaging were studied by using the near infrared (NIR) light. Furthermore, tumor accumulation of DHPL was observed by in vivo fluorescence imaging and the antitumor effect was verified in a 4T1 tumor model. Results: The nanosystem displayed a homogeneous size distribution (~200 nm) and an efficient light-to-heat conversion effect under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. The nanometer size enabled considerable accumulation of DHPL in the tumor sites. The localized hyperthermia resulting from the photothermal effect of HAuNS could trigger the size transformation of DHPL followed by significant DOX release. Due to the gasification of PFC, a remarkably enhanced ultrasound signal was detected. DHPL also exhibited a prominent photothermally reinforced chemotherapeutic effect under the control of NIR light both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, no systemic toxicity was observed by DHPL treatment. Conclusion: In this study, we fabricated multi-functional perfluorocarbon liposomes for ultrasound imaging-guided photothermal chemotherapy which have the potential to serve as a prospective cancer treatment approach.

Abstract
Improving tumor oxygenation and concentrating X-ray radiation energy inside the tumor have received considerable attention in cancer radiotherapy. Herein, core-shell tantalum oxide@manganese dioxide (TaOx@MnO2) nanostructures are prepared as an efficient radiosensitizer for enhancing radiotherapy (RT). In these nanostructures, the TaOx core serves as a RT sensitizer that efficiently concentrates X-ray radiation energy inside the tumor, while the MnO2 shell may trigger the decomposition of endogenous H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) to generate oxygen and overcome hypoxia-associated radiation resistance. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the synthesized TaOx@MnO2-PEG nanostructures could accomplish an excellent synergistic radiotherapy sensitization effect. Furthermore, TaOx@MnO2-PEG nanoparticles could also serve as promising agents for MR/CT dual-modal imaging. In brief, our study highlights a new type of multifunctional radiosensitizer agent to enhance radiotherapy treatment by means of simultaneously concentrating radiation energy inside tumors and overcoming tumor hypoxia, promising for applications in tumor radiotherapy.

Abstract
Recently, copper chalcogenide semiconductors have been reported as new near-infrared (NIR) photothermal agents. However, it is difficult to modify them with recognition molecules, and their photothermal conversion efficiencies are relatively low, making it difficult to achieve the targeted photothermal ablation of cancer cells with a high efficiency. In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was first coated on the surface of Cu2-xSe nanoparticles (NPs) to provide abundant functional groups for the next modification and to increase the photothermal conversion efficiency. Then, doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded and folic acid (FA) molecules were covalently linked onto the surface of Cu2-xSe/rGO nanocomposites. The formed DOX@Cu2-xSe@rGO-FA nanocomposites were successfully used as chemo-photothermal agents for the targeted killing of cancer cells by utilizing the recognition ability of FA, chemotherapy effect of DOX and photothermal effects of rGO and Cu2-xSe NPs. Under the 980-nm NIR laser irradiation, the nanocomposites showed significantly enhanced chemo-photothermal therapy effect, which can be potentially applied in the nanomedicine field.

Abstract
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) that results in resonant absorption, scattering, and near field enhancement around the NC can be tuned across a wide optical spectral range from visible to far-infrared by synthetically varying doping level, and post synthetically via chemical oxidation and reduction, photochemical control, and electrochemical control. In this review, we will discuss the fundamental electromagnetic dynamics governing light matter interaction in plasmonic semiconductor NCs and the realization of various distinctive physical properties made possible by the advancement of colloidal synthesis routes to such NCs. Here, we will illustrate how free carrier dielectric properties are induced in various semiconductor materials including metal oxides, metal chalcogenides, metal nitrides, silicon, and other materials. We will highlight the applicability and limitations of the Drude model as applied to semiconductors considering the complex band structures and crystal structures that predominate and quantum effects that emerge at nonclassical sizes. We will also emphasize the impact of dopant hybridization with bands of the host lattice as well as the interplay of shape and crystal structure in determining the LSPR characteristics of semiconductor NCs. To illustrate the discussion regarding both physical and synthetic aspects of LSPR-active NCs, we will focus on metal oxides with substantial consideration also of copper chalcogenide NCs, with select examples drawn from the literature on other doped semiconductor materials. Furthermore, we will discuss the promise that LSPR in doped semiconductor NCs holds for a wide range of applications such as infrared spectroscopy, energy-saving technologies like smart windows and waste heat management, biomedical applications including therapy and imaging, and optical applications like two photon upconversion, enhanced luminesence, and infrared metasurfaces.

Abstract
Cancer gives rise to an enormous number of deaths worldwide nowadays. Therefore, it is in urgent need to develop new therapies, among which combined therapies including photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy (CHT) using polymer-based nanocarriers have attracted enormous interest due to the significantly enhanced efficacy and great progress has been made so far. The preparation of such nanocarriers is a comprehensive task involving the cooperation of nanomaterial science and biomedicine science. In this review, we try to introduce and analyze the structure, preparation and synergistic therapeutic effect of various polymer-based nanocarriers composed of anti-tumor drugs, nano-sized photothermal materials and other possible parts.

Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance remains a major hurdle for cancer therapy in clinic because of the poor cellular uptake and insufficient intracellular release of drugs. Herein, an intelligent, multifunctional MoS2 nanotheranostic (MoS2-PEI-HA) ingeniously decorated with biodegradable hyaluronic acid (HA) assisted by polyethyleneimine (PEI) is reported to combat drug-resistant breast cancer (MCF-7-ADR) after loading with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX). HA can not only target CD44-overexpressing MCF-7-ADR but also be degraded by hyaluronidase (HAase) that is concentrated in the tumor microenvironment, thus accelerating DOX release. Furthermore, MoS2 with strong near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion ability can also promote the release of DOX in the acidic tumor environment at a mild 808 nm laser irradiation, achieving a superior antitumor activity based on the programmed response to HAase and NIR laser actuator. Most importantly, HA targeting combined with mild NIR laser stimuli, rather than using hyperthermia, can potently downregulate the expression of drug-resistance-related P-glycoprotein (P-gp), resulting in greatly enhanced intracellular drug accumulation, thus achieving drug resistance reversal. After labeled with 64Cu by a simple chelation strategy, MoS2 was employed for real-time positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of MCF-7-ADR tumor in vivo. This multifunctional nanoplatform paves a new avenue for PET imaging-guided spatial-temporal-controlled accurate therapy of drug-resistant cancer.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) laser induced phototherapy has been considered as a noninvasive option for cancer therapy. Herein, we report plasmonic PEGylated molybdenum oxide nanoparticles (PEG-MoOx NPs) that were synthesized by using a facile hydrothermal method. The PEG-MoOx NPs exhibit broad absorption at the NIR biological window and remarkable photothermal conversion ability in the first (808 nm) and the second (1064 nm) windows. Moreover, the biocompatible PEG-MoOx NPs exhibit effective cellular uptake and could be eliminated gradually from the liver and spleen in mice. Studies on the therapeutic effects of these NPs under 808 and 1064 nm exposures with mild hyperthermia are conducted. According to the result, exposure to 1064 nm irradiation can not only effectively convert light into heat but also sensitize the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which exert dramatic cancer cell death and suppression in vivo due to the synergic effect of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). In marked contrast, 808 nm irradiation can only execute limited PTT to cancer cells, showing a relatively low inhibition rate in vitro and in vivo. This biodegradable MoOx nanoplatform with synergetic PTT and PDT functionalities upon 1064 nm irradiation provided emerging opportunities for the phototherapy of cancer in nanomedicine.
