Abstract
Lanthanides and actinides are used in a wide variety of applications, from energy production to life sciences. To address toxicity issues due to the chemical, and often radiological, properties of these elements, methods to quantify and recover them from industrial waste are necessary. When used in biomedicine, lanthanides and actinides are incorporated in compounds that show promising therapeutic and/or bioimaging properties, but lack robust strategies to target cancer and other pathologies. Furthermore, current decorporation protocols to respond to accidental actinide exposure rely on intravenous injections of soluble chelating agents, which are inefficient for treatment of inhaled radionuclides trapped in lungs. In recent years, nanoparticles have emerged as powerful tools in both industry and clinical settings. Because some inorganic nanoparticles are sensitive to external stimuli, such as light and magnetic fields, they can be used as building blocks for sensitive bioassays and separation techniques. In addition, nanoparticles can be functionalized with multiple ligands and act as carriers for selective delivery of therapeutic and contrast agents. This review summarizes and discusses recent progress on the use of nanoparticles in lanthanide and actinide chemistry. We examine different types of nanoparticles based on composition, functionalization, and properties, and we critically analyze their performance in a comparative mode. Our focus is two-pronged, including the nanoparticles free of lanthanides and actinides that are used for the detection, separation, or decorporation of f-block elements, as well as the nanoparticles that enhance the inherent properties of lanthanides and actinides for therapeutics, imaging and catalysis.

Abstract
The popularity of 2D barcodes is playing a key role in simplifying people's daily life activities, such as identification, quick payment, checking in and checking out, etc. However, relevant issues have emerged as their popularity has soared. The most urgent and representative problem is decryption, which may lead to serious information leakage and substantial damage to organizations, such as governments and international enterprises. This issue is mainly due to the visibility of 2D barcodes. In order to prevent potential privacy violation and sensitive information leakage through easy access of those visible 2D barcodes, we have designed and fabricated invisible 2D barcodes that will only be visible under UV illumination. This approach provides a promising solution to address the previous problem by transferring 2D barcodes into an invisible state. We have employed a typical micro-emulsion method to fabricate polystyrene (PS) fluorescent nanoparticles due to its simplicity. The invisible patterns can and will only be accessed and recognized under UV light illumination to protect personal private information. These invisible 2D barcodes provide a feasible solution for personal information protection and fit with a patient's privacy protection scenario very well, as we have demonstrated.

Abstract
Radio-nanomedicine, or the use of radiolabeled nanoparticles in nuclear medicine, has attracted much attention in the last few decades. Since the discovery of Cerenkov radiation and its employment in Cerenkov luminescence imaging, the combination of nanomaterials and Cerenkov radiation emitters has been revolutionizing the way nanomaterials are perceived in the field: from simple inert carriers of radioactivity to activatable nanomaterials for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review on the types of nanomaterials that have been used to interact with Cerenkov radiation and the gamma and beta scintillation of radionuclides, as well as on their biological applications.

Abstract
Multimodal therapeutic approach towards colorectal cancer (CRC) holds great promise. There is, however, no convincing strategy reported to date that employs a multimodal strategy in CRC treatment. The present study reports an intense green-emitting core-shell photoluminescent upconversion (CSGU) nanocrystal engineered to synergistically perform photodynamic and enzyme-triggered delivery of the chemotherapeutic agent for an enhanced therapeutic outcome on HT-29 colon carcinoma cells in vitro. The photodynamic activity is achieved by the energy transfer between CSGU and the chemically conjugated Rose Bengal (RB) molecules that are further protected by a mesoporous silica (MS) layer. The chemical assay demonstrates a remarkable FRET mediated generation of 1O2 under NIR (980 nm) excitation. The outermost MS layer of the nanoplatform is utilized for the loading of the 5FU anticancer drug, which is further capped with a guar gum (GG) polysaccharide polymer. The release of the 5FU is specifically triggered by the degradation of the GG cap by specific enzymes secreted from colonic microflora, which otherwise showed 'zero-release behavior' in the absence of any enzymatic trigger in various simulated gastro-intestinal (GI) conditions. Furthermore, the enhanced therapeutic efficacy of the nanoplatform (CSGUR-MSGG/5FU) was evaluated through in vitro studies using HT-29 CRC cell lines by various biochemical and microscopic assays by the simultaneous triggering effect of colonic enzyme and 980 nm laser excitation. In addition, the strong visible emission from the nanoplatform has been utilized for NIR-induced cellular bioimaging.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with sodium yttrium fluoride, NaYF4 (host lattice) doped with Yb3+ (sensitizer) and Er3+ (activator) were synthesized via hydrothermal route incorporating polyethyleneimine (PEI) for their long-term stability in water. The cationic PEI-modified UCNPs with diameter 20 ± 4 nm showed a zeta potential value of +36.5 mV and showed an intense, visible red luminescence and low-intensity green emission with 976 nm laser excitation. The particles proven to be nontoxic to endothelial cells, with a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, showing 90% to 100% cell viability, across a wide range of UCNP concentrations (0.3 ng/mL-0.3 mg/mL) were used in multiphoton imaging. Multiphoton cellular imaging and emission spectroscopy data reported here prove that the UCNPs dispersed in cell culture media are predominantly concentrated in the cytoplasm than the cell nucleus. The energy transfer from PEI-coated UCNPs to surrounding media for red luminescence in the biological system is also highlighted with spectroscopic measurements. Results of this study propose that UCNPs can, therefore, be used for cytoplasm selective imaging together with multiphoton dyes (eg, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)) that are selective to cell nucleus.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanophosphors are promising in anti-counterfeiting and security printing applications. These nanophosphors can be incorporated as transparent inks that fluoresce by upconverting near-infrared illumination into visible light to allow easy verification of documents. However, these inks typically exhibit a single luminescent color, low emission efficiency, and low print resolutions. Tunable resonator-upconverted emission (TRUE) is achieved by placing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) within plasmonic nanoresonators. A range of TRUE colors are obtained from a single-UCNP species self-assembled within size-tuned gap-plasmon resonances in Al nanodisk arrays. The luminescence intensities are enhanced by two orders of magnitude through emission and absorption enhancements. The enhanced emissive and plasmonic colors are simultaneously employed to generate TRUE color prints that exhibit one appearance under ambient white light, and a multicolored luminescence appearance that is revealed under near-infrared excitation. The printed color and luminescent images are of ultrahigh resolutions (≈50 000 dpi), and enable multiple colors from a single excitation source for increased level of security.

Abstract
Abstract
Radiationless resonance electronic excitation energy transfer (ET) is a fundamental physical phenomenon in luminescence spectroscopy playing an important role in natural processes, especially in photosynthesis and biochemistry. Besides, it is widely used in photooptics, optoelectronics, and protein chemistry, coordination chemistry of transition metals and lanthanides as well as in luminescent analysis. ET involves the transfer of electronic energy from a donor (D) (molecules or particles) which is initially excited, to an acceptor (A) at the ground state to emit it later. Fluorescence or phosphorescence of the acceptor that occurs during ET is known as sensitized. There do many kinds of ET exist but in all cases along with other factors the rate and efficiency of ET in common solvents depends to a large extent on the distance between the donor and the acceptor. This dependency greatly limits the efficiency of ET and, correspondingly, does not allow the determination of analytes in highly diluted (10–9–10–15 M) solutions. To solve the problem of distance-effect, the effects of concentrating and bring close together the donor and acceptor in surfactant micelles (liquid nanosystems) or sorption on solid nanoparticles are used. Various approaches to promote the efficiency of ET for improvement determination selectivity and sensitivity using liquid and solid nanoobjects is reviewed and analyzed.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) with their diverse physical and chemical properties have been applied in various biomedical domains. The increasing demand for MNPs has attracted researchers to develop straightforward, inexpensive, simple, and eco-friendly processes for the enhanced production of MNPs. To discover new biomedical applications first requires knowledge of the interactions of MNPs with target cells. This review focuses on plant and microbial synthesis of biological MNPs, their cellular uptake, biocompatibility, any biological consequences such as cytotoxicity, and biomedical applications. We highlighted the involvement of biomolecules in capping and stabilization of MNPs and the effect of physicochemical parameters particularly the pH on the synthesis of MNPs. Recently achieved milestones to understand the role of synthetic biology (SynBiol) in the synthesis of tailored MNPs are also discussed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive medical technology that has been applied in cancer treatment where it is accessible by direct or endoscope-assisted light irradiation. To lower phototoxicity and increase tissue penetration depth of light, great effort has been focused on developing new sensitizers that can utilize red or near-infrared (NIR) light for the past decades. Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have a unique property to transduce NIR excitation light to UV-vis emission efficiently. This property allows some low-cost, low-toxicity, commercially available visible light sensitizers, which originally are not suitable for deep tissue PDT, to be activated by NIR light and have been reported extensively in the past few years. However, some issues still remain in the UCNP-assisted PDT platform such as colloidal stability, photosensitizer loading efficiency, and accessibility for targeting ligand installation, despite some advances in this direction. In this study, we designed a facile phospholipid-coated UCNP method to generate a highly colloidally stable nanoplatform that can effectively load a series of visible light sensitizers in the lipid layers. The loading stability and singlet oxygen generation efficiency of this sensitizer-loaded lipid-coated UCNP platform were investigated. We also have demonstrated the enhanced cellular uptake efficiency and tumor cell selectivity of this lipid-coated UCNP platform by changing the lipid dopant. On the basis of the evidence of our results, the lipid-complexed UCNP nanoparticles could serve as an effective photosensitizer carrier for NIR light-mediated PDT.

Abstract
Polygonal-shaped about 75 nm sized and highly crystallized Eu3+-doped β-NaYF4 particles were directly prepared under mild conditions using the polyol process. A set of operating parameters were optimized for such a purpose. A conventional heating under reflux for 30 min of a mixture of Y(III) and Eu(III) acetate, ammonium fluoride, sodium hydroxide and oleic acid (OA) dissolved in ethyleneglycol offered a pertinent material processing route if a large excess of NH4F and an enough amount of OA were used. Typically, the former parameter provides an exclusive stabilization of the desired β allotropic form, while the latter allows a significant size decrease of the particles. Thanks to their coating by a double OA layer, the produced particles exhibited a hydrophilic surface feature when dispersed in water and when excited under UV light they emitted a very intense red photoluminescence. Additionally, they did not evidence any accurate cytotoxicity when incubated with healthy human foreskin fibroblast (BJH) cells for doses as high as 50 μg·mL-1 and contact time as long as 48 h, highlighting the ability of the prepared particles to be used as efficient down-converter light sources for cell labelling.

Abstract
Efficient control over drug release is critical to increasing drug efficacy and avoiding side effects. An ideal drug delivery system would deliver drugs in the right amount, at the right location and at the right time noninvasively. This can be achieved using light-triggered delivery: light is noninvasive, spatially precise and safe if appropriate wavelengths are chosen. However, the use of light-controlled delivery systems has been limited to areas that are not too deep inside the body because ultraviolet (UV) or visible (Vis) light, the typical wavelengths used for photoreactions, have limited penetration and are toxic to biological tissues. The advent of upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) has made it possible to overcome this crucial challenge. UCNPs can convert near-infrared (NIR) radiation, which can penetrate deeper inside the body, to shorter wavelength NIR, Vis and UV radiation. UCNPs have been used as bright, in situ sources of light for on-demand drug release and bioimaging applications. These remote-controlled, NIR-triggered drug delivery systems are especially attractive in applications where a drug is required at a specific location and time such as in anesthetics, postwound healing, cardiothoracic surgery and cancer treatment. In this Perspective, we discuss recent progress and challenges as well as propose potential solutions and future directions, especially with regard to their translation to the clinic.

Abstract
An upconversion fluorescence DNA probe which consists of aptamer-conjugated magnet nanoparticles (apt-MNPs) and complementary DNA-conjugated upconversion nanoparticles (cDNA-UCNPs) was developed to detect acetamiprid. Acetamiprid can specifically conjugate with the apt-MNPs to dissociate the cDNA-UCNPs from the apt-MNPs and resulted in reduced fluorescence intensity through an external magnet. The change of fluorescence intensity (△I) is positively related to the concentration of acetamiprid, which can be applied for the quantification of acetamiprid. Under optimal conditions, a linear detection range and detection limit are 0.89-114.18 μg/L and 0.65 μg/L, respectively. The probe was successfully used to detect acetamiprid in spiked paddy water, soil, pear, apple, wheat and cucumber. Average recoveries are 78.2%-103.5% with intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 2.6%-10.9% and inter-day RSDs of 4.3%-10.2%. The amounts of acetamiprid in the authentic paddy water and pear samples detected by the DNA probe are significantly correlated with that detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Abstract
Upconversion phosphors (UCPs) can convert visible light into luminescence, such as UV, which can regulate the growth of microbes. Based on these fundamentals, the community composition of periphytic biofilms stimulated by UCPs doped with Pr3+-Li+ was proposed to augment the removal of phosphorus (P) and copper (Cu). Results showed that the biofilms with community composition optimized by UCPs doped with Pr3+-Li+ had high P and Cu2+ removal rates. This was partly due to overall bacterial and algal abundance and biomass increases. The synergistic actions of algal, bacterial biomass and carbon metabolic capacity in the Pr-Li stimulated biofilms facilitated the removal of P and Cu2+. The results show that the stimulation of periphytic biofilms by lanthanide-doped UCPs is a promising approach for augmenting P and Cu2+ removal.

Abstract
The authors synthesised porous GdF3:Er3+,Yb3+-COOH core-shell structured bi-functional nanoparticles through a one-step hydrothermal route during which ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) was bound to the surface of the nanoparticles. It has high up-conversion emission intensity for monitoring the drug release process and magnetisation saturation value (10.2 emu/g) for drug targeting under foreign magnetic fields. Moreover, porous GdF3:Er3+,Yb3+ as drug carriers with a high drug-loading efficiency. cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) (cisplatin, CDDP)-loaded GdF3:Er3+,Yb3+ nanoparticles (GdF3:Er3+,Yb3+-CDDP) were characterised by the Fourier transform infrared spectra, and CDDP was loaded in the form of electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonds. Compared with CDDP alone, GdF3:Er3+,Yb3+-CDDP nanoparticles increase concentration of CDDP in the target site and enhance its anticancer efficiency. Therefore, the as-prepared GdF3:Er3+,Yb3+-COOH nanoparticles allow simultaneous targeted drug delivery and monitoring as promising anti-cancer theranostic agents.

Abstract
Bioassays for the rapid detection and quantification of specific nucleic acids, proteins, and peptides are fundamental tools in many clinical settings. Traditional optical emission methods have focused on the use of molecular dyes as labels to track selective binding interactions and as probes that are sensitive to environmental changes. Such dyes can offer good detection limits based on brightness but typically have broad emission bands and suffer from time-dependent photobleaching. Inorganic nanoparticles such as quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles are photostable over prolonged exposure to excitation radiation and tend to offer narrow emission bands, providing a greater opportunity for multiwavelength multiplexing. Importantly, in contrast to molecular dyes, nanoparticles offer substantial surface area and can serve as platforms to carry a large number of conjugated molecules. The surface chemistry of inorganic nanoparticles offers both challenges and opportunities for the control of solubility and functionality for selective molecular interactions by the assembly of coatings through coordination chemistry. This report reviews advances in the compositional design and methods of conjugation of inorganic quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles and the assembly of combinations of nanoparticles to achieve energy exchange. Our interest is the exploration of configurations where the modified nanoparticles can be immobilized to solid substrates for the development of bioassays and biosensors that operate by resonance energy transfer (RET).

[PMID: 29163885 PMCID: PMC5672820 DOI: 10.1039/c7sc02956j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2017] [Accepted: 08/29/2017] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to their large anti-Stokes shifts, sharp emission spectra and long excited-state lifetimes, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have attracted an increasing amount of research interests, and have shown great potential for enhancing the practical utility of gene therapy, whose versatility has been limited by existing gene delivery technologies that are basically mono-functional in nature. Despite this, up to now in-depth analysis of the development of UCNPs for gene delivery has been scant in the literature, even though there has been an upsurge of reviews on the chemistry of UCNPs and their applications in bioimaging and drug delivery. To fill this gap, this review aims to present the latest advances in the development and applications of UCNPs as gene carriers. Prior to describing the prominent works published in the field, a critical view on the properties, chemistry and molecular design of UCNPs for gene delivery is provided. With a synopsis of the recent advances in UCNP-mediated gene delivery, challenges and opportunities could be illuminated for clinical translation of works in this nascent field of research.

Abstract
Advanced anti-counterfeiting labels have aroused an intensive interest in packaging industry to avoid the serious issue of counterfeit. However, the preparation and cost of the existing labels associated with the drawbacks, including the complex and high-cost equipment, limit the protection of the authenticity of goods. Herein, we developed a series of anti-counterfeiting labels based on multicolor upconversion micro-particles (UCMPs) inks via straightforward and low-cost solutions, including spin-coating, stamping and screen printing. The UCMPs were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal process and displayed tunable red (R), green (G) and blue (B) color by doping different lanthanide ions, which are Er3+/Tm3+, Yb3+/Er3+ and Yb3+/Tm3+ in NaYF4 hosts, respectively. The optimal UCMPs inks were deposited on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate to obtain transparent anti-counterfeiting labels possessing higher transmittance, stronger upconversion fluorescence intensity and good photostability. Under ambient conditions, the patterns and films were transparent, but could exhibit multicolor light under 980 nm laser excitation. They can be used as anti-counterfeiting labels for die-cutting packages to further elevate the security of goods. The tunable and designable transparent anti-counterfeiting labels based on RGB UCMPs inks exhibit the merits of low-cost, easy-manufacture and versatility, underlying the practical application in the field of anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped photon upconverting nanomaterials are evolving as a new class of imaging contrast agents, offering highly promising prospects in the area of biomedical applications. Owing to their ability to convert long-wavelength near-infrared excitation radiation into shorter-wavelength emissions, these nanomaterials are well suited to yield properties of low imaging background, large anti-Stokes shift, along with high optical penetration depth of NIR light for deep tissue optical imaging or light-activated drug release and therapy. Such materials have potential for significant advantages in analytical applications compared to molecular fluorophores and quantum dots. The use of IR radiation as an excitation source diminishes autofluorescence and scattering of excitation radiation, which leads to a reduction of background in optical experiments. The upconverting nanocrystals show exceptional photostability and are constituted of materials that are not significantly toxic to biological organisms. Excitation at long wavelengths also minimizes damage to biological materials. In this detailed review, various mechanisms operating for the upconversion process, and methods that are utilized to synthesize and decorate upconverting nanoparticles are investigated to elucidate by what means absorption and emission can be tuned. Up-to-date reports concerning cellular internalization, biodistribution, excretion, cytotoxicity and in vivo toxic effects of UCNPs are discussed. Specifically, studies which assessed the relationship between the chemical and physical properties of UCNPs and their biodistribution, excretion, and toxic effects are reviewed in detail. Finally, we also deliberate the challenges of guaranteeing the biosafety of UCNPs in vivo.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have recently attracted great attention in theranostics due to their exceptional optical and physicochemical properties, which enable the design of a novel UCNP-based nanoplatform for luminescent imaging, temperature mapping, sensing, and therapy. In addition, UCNPs are considered to be ideal building blocks for development of multimodal probes for cells and whole body imaging, exploiting simple variation of host matrix, dopant ions, and surface chemistry. Modalities responsible for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET)/single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are embedded in a single UC nanocrystal, providing integrating effect over any modality alone in terms of the efficiency and sensitivity for clinical innovative diagnosis through multimodal bioimaging. In particular, we demonstrate applications of UCNPs as a new nanoplatform for optical and multimodal cancer imaging in vitro and in vivo and extend discussions to delivery of UCNP-based therapeutic agents for photodynamic and photothermal cancer treatments.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is the end-stage of cardiovascular diseases, which is associated with a high mortality rate and high readmission rate. Household early diagnosis and real-time prognosis of HF at bedside are of significant importance. Here, we developed a highly sensitive and quantitative household prognosis platform (termed as UC-LFS platform), integrating a smartphone-based reader with multiplexed upconversion fluorescent lateral flow strip (LFS). Dual-color core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were synthesized as probes for simultaneously quantifying two target antigens associated with HF, i.e., brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2). With the fluorescent LFS, we achieved the specific detection of BNP and ST2 antigens in spiked samples with detection limits of 5 pg/mL and 1 ng/mL, respectively, both of which are of one order lower than their clinical cutoff. Subsequently, a smartphone-based portable reader and an analysis app were developed, which could rapidly quantify the result and share prognosis results with doctors. To confirm the usage of UC-LFS platform for clinical samples, we detected 38 clinical serum samples using the platform and successfully detected the minimal concentration of 29.92 ng/mL for ST2 and 17.46 pg/mL for BNP in these clinical samples. Comparing the detection results from FDA approved clinical methods, we obtained a good linear correlation, indicating the practical reliability and stability of our developed UC-LFS platform. Therefore, the developed UC-LFS platform is demonstrated to be highly sensitive and specific for sample-to-answer prognosis of HF, which holds great potential for risk assessment and health monitoring of post-treatment patients at home.

Abstract
With the increasing interest in hydroxyapatite (HA) nanostructures for use in biomedicine, the systematic evaluation of their potential effects on biological systems is becoming critically important. In this work, we report the in vitro cellular uptake, in vivo tissue distributions and toxicity of Tb3+-doped HA (HA-Tb) after short-, intermediate-, and long-term exposure. Transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated that HA-Tb was taken up by cells via vesicle endocytosis. Cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay, combined with confocal laser scanning microscopy, indicated excellent cell viability with no changes in cell morphology at the examined doses. Three HA-Tb delivery methods (intraperitoneal, intragastric, and intravenous) resulted in similar time-dependent tissue distributions, while intraperitoneal injection produced the highest bioavailability. HA-Tb initially accumulated in livers and intestines of rats (4 h to one day after administration), then became increasingly distributed in the kidney and bladder (seven days), and finally decreased in all tissues after 30 to 90 days. No histopathological abnormalities or lesions related to treatment with HA-Tb were observed. These results suggest that HA-Tb has minimal in vitro and in vivo toxicity, regardless of the delivery mode, time, and dose. The findings provide a foundation for the design and development of HA for biological applications.

Abstract
Biophysical-factor-dependent cellular uptake of nanoparticles (NPs) through receptor-diffusion-mediated endocytosis bears significance in pathology, cellular immunity and drug-delivery systems. Advanced nanotechnology of NP synthesis provides methods for modifying NP surface with different ligand distributions. However, no report discusses effects of ligand distribution on NP surface on receptor-diffusion-mediated cellular uptake. In this article, we used a statistical dynamics model of receptor-diffusion-mediated endocytosis to examine ligand-distribution-dependent cellular uptake dynamics by considering that ligand-receptor complexes drive engulfing to overcome resistance to membrane deformation and changes in configuration entropy of receptors. Results showed that cellular internalization of NPs strongly depended on ligand distribution and that cellular-uptake efficiency of NPs was high when ligand distribution was within a range around uniform distribution. This feature of endocytosis ensures robust infection ability of viruses to enter host cells. Interestingly, results also indicated that optimal ligand distribution associated with highest cellular-uptake efficiency slightly depends on distribution pattern of ligands and density of receptors, and the optimal distribution becomes uniform when receptor density is sufficiently large. Position of initial contact point is also a factor affecting dynamic wrapping. This study explains why most enveloped viruses present almost homogeneous ligand distribution and is useful in designing controlled-release drug-delivery systems.

Abstract
With continued advancements in nanoparticle (NP) synthesis and in the interfacing of NPs with biological systems has come the exponential growth in the use of NPs for therapeutic drug delivery and imaging applications. In recent years, the advent of NP multifunctionality-the ability to perform multiple, disparate functions on a single NP platform-has garnered much excitement for the potential realization of highly functional NP-mediated drug delivery for use in the clinical setting. This Overview will survey the current state of the art (reports published within the last 5 years) of multifunctional NPs for therapeutic drug delivery, imaging or a combination thereof. We provide extensive examples of both soft (micelles, liposomes, polymeric NPs) and hard (noble metals, quantum dots, metal oxides) NP formulations that have been used for multimodal drug delivery and imaging. The criteria for inclusion, herein, is that there must be at least two therapeutic drug cargos or imaging agents or a combination of the two. We next offer an assessment of the cytotoxicity of therapeutic NP constructs in biological systems. We then conclude with a forward-looking perspective on how we expect this field to develop in the coming years.

Abstract
Development of multidrug resistance (MDR) contributes to the majority of treatment failures in clinical chemotherapy. We report facial layer-by-layer engineered upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for near-infrared (NIR)-initiated tracking and delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to enhance chemotherapy efficacy by silencing the MDR1 gene and resensitizing resistant ovarian cancer cells to drug. Layer-by-layer engineered UCNPs were loaded with MDR1 gene-silencing siRNA (MDR1-siRNA) by electrostatic interaction. The delivery vehicle enhances MDR1-siRNA cellular uptake, protects MDR1-siRNA from nuclease degradation, and promotes endosomal escape for silencing the MDR gene. The intrinsic photon upconversion of UCNPs provides an unprecedented opportunity for monitoring intracellular attachment and release of MDR1-siRNA by NIR-initiated fluorescence resonance energy transfer occurs between donor UCNPs and acceptor fluorescence dye-labeled MDR1-siRNA. Enhanced chemotherapeutic efficacy in vitro was demonstrated by cell viability assay. The developed delivery vehicle holds great potential in delivery and imaging-guided tracking of therapeutic gene targets for effective treatment of drug-resistant cancers.

Abstract
Encoded microparticles have become a powerful tool for a wide array of applications, including high-throughput sample tracking and massively parallel biological multiplexing. Spectral encoding, where particles are encoded with distinct luminescence spectra, provides a particularly appealing encoding strategy because of the ease of reading codes and assay flexibility. To date, spectral encoding has been limited in the number of codes that can be accurately resolved. Here, we demonstrate an automated 5-dimensional spectral encoding scheme using lanthanide nanophosphors that is capable of producing isotropic spherical microparticles with up to 1,100 unique codes, which we term MRBLEs (Microspheres with Ratiometric Barcode Lanthanide Encoding). We further develop a quantitative framework for evaluating global ability to distinguish codes and demonstrate that for six different sets of MRBLEs ranging from 106 to 1,101 codes in size, > 98% of MRBLEs can be assigned to a code with 99.99% confidence. These > 1,000 code sets represent the largest spectral code libraries built to date. We expect that these MRBLEs will enable a wide variety of novel multiplexed assays.
