Abstract
The abundant species of functional nanomaterials have attracted tremendous interests as components to construct multifunctional composites for cancer theranostics. However, their distinct chemical properties substantially require a specific strategy to integrate them in harmony. Here, we report the preparation of a distinctive multifunctional composite by encapsulating small-sized semiconducting copper bismuth sulfide (CBS) nanoparticles and rare-earth down-conversion (DC) nanoparticles in larger-sized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF8) nanoparticles, followed by loading an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). Such composites can be used for tetramodal imaging, including traditional computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and, recently, for photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging. With a pH-responsive release of the encapsulated components, synergistic radio-chemotherapy with a high (87.6%) tumor inhibition efficiency is achieved at moderate doses of the CBS&DC-ZIF8@DOX composite with X-ray irradiation. This promising strategy highlights the extending capacity of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks to encapsulate multiple distinct components for enhanced cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Despite all of the efforts in the field of cancer therapy, the heterogeneous properties of tumor cells induce an insufficient therapeutic outcome when treated with conventional monotherapies, necessitating a shift in cancer treatment from monotherapy to combination therapy for complete cancer treatment. Multifunctional bismuth (Bi)-based nanomaterials (NMs) with therapeutic functions hold great promise for the fields of cancer diagnosis and therapy based on their low toxicity, X-ray sensitive capabilities, high atomic number, near-infrared driven semiconductor properties, and low cost. Herein, a comprehensive review of recent advances in various medicinal aspects of Bi-based NMs is presented including: evaluation of in-tumor site accumulation, tumor targeting, and therapeutic performance, as well as the characteristics, benefits, and shortcomings of Bi-based NM-mediated major monotherapies. In addition, the cooperative enhancement mechanisms between two or more of these monotherapies are described in detail to address common challenges in cancer therapy, such as multidrug resistance, hypoxia, and metastasis. Finally, this review opens new insights into the design of multimodal synergistic therapies for potential future clinical applications of Bi-based NMs.

Abstract
Studies of nanosized forms of bismuth (Bi)-containing materials have recently expanded from optical, chemical, electronic, and engineering fields towards biomedicine, as a result of their safety, cost-effective fabrication processes, large surface area, high stability, and high versatility in terms of shape, size, and porosity. Bi, as a nontoxic and inexpensive diamagnetic heavy metal, has been used for the fabrication of various nanoparticles (NPs) with unique structural, physicochemical, and compositional features to combine various properties, such as a favourably high X-ray attenuation coefficient and near-infrared (NIR) absorbance, excellent light-to-heat conversion efficiency, and a long circulation half-life. These features have rendered bismuth-containing nanoparticles (BiNPs) with desirable performance for combined cancer therapy, photothermal and radiation therapy (RT), multimodal imaging, theranostics, drug delivery, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOx, where X is Cl, Br or I) and bismuth chalcogenides, including bismuth oxide, bismuth sulfide, bismuth selenide, and bismuth telluride, have been heavily investigated for therapeutic purposes. The pharmacokinetics of these BiNPs can be easily improved via the facile modification of their surfaces with biocompatible polymers and proteins, resulting in enhanced colloidal stability, extended blood circulation, and reduced toxicity. Desirable antibacterial effects, bone regeneration potential, and tumor growth suppression under NIR laser radiation are the main biomedical research areas involving BiNPs that have opened up a new paradigm for their future clinical translation. This review emphasizes the synthesis and state-of-the-art progress related to the biomedical applications of BiNPs with different structures, sizes, and compositions. Furthermore, a comprehensive discussion focusing on challenges and future opportunities is presented.

Abstract
Image-guided therapy, combined with imaging and therapeutic action, forms an attractive system because it can induce outstanding effects at focused locations. However, the conventional liposomes-based system cannot figure in therapeutic or imaging roles themselves, thereby causing the disadvantage of their biological unavailability as a theragnosis tool. Herein, the structure-inherent near-infrared bilayer nanovesicles are fabricated with amphiphilic heptamethine cyanine dye, PEG conjugated heptamethine cyanine dye, and gemcitabine (NEPCG) is developed for the novel photoacoustic image-guided chemo-thermotherapy system. The organic structure-inherent near-infrared bilayer nanovesicles are self-assembled and exhibit a liposome-like bilayer structure. Furthermore, NEPCG showed the high photoacoustic signal (PA) due to the specific accumulation in the tumor site. Delivered NEPCG than displayed concurrent chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) effects against cancer, triggered by PA imaging with minimal side effects. In vitro and in vivo experiments show that NEPCG can be used as outstanding contrast agents and completely obliterate the tumor without reoccurrence under laser irradiation. Therefore, this work presents the potential for the realization of unprecedented structure-inherent near-infrared bilayer nanovesicles as highly accurate and effective theragnostic tools in clinical fields.

Abstract
As new 2D layered nanomaterials, Bi2 O2 Se nanoplates have unique semiconducting properties that can benefit biomedical applications. Herein, a facile top-down approach for the synthesis of Bi2 O2 Se quantum dots (QDs) in a solution is described. The Bi2 O2 Se QDs with a size of 3.8 nm and thickness of 1.9 nm exhibit a high photothermal conversion coefficient of 35.7% and good photothermal stability. In vitro and in vivo assessments demonstrate that the Bi2 O2 Se QDs possess excellent photoacoustic (PA) performance and photothermal therapy (PTT) efficiency. After systemic administration, the Bi2 O2 Se QDs accumulate passively in tumors enabling efficient PA imaging of the entire tumors to facilitate imaging-guided PTT without obvious toxicity. Furthermore, the Bi2 O2 Se QDs which exhibit degradability in aqueous media not only have sufficient stability during in vivo circulation to perform the designed therapeutic functions, but also can be discharged harmlessly from the body afterward. The results reveal the great potential of Bi2 O2 Se QDs as a biodegradable multifunctional agent in medical applications.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles as a versatile nanoplatform have been broadly applied in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers due to their inherent superior physicochemical properties (including magnetic, thermal, optical, and catalytic performance) and excellent functions (e.g., imaging, targeted delivery, and controlled release of drugs) through surface functional modification or ingredient dopant. However, in practical biological applications, inorganic nanomaterials are relatively difficult to degrade and excrete, which induces a long residence time in living organisms and thus may cause adverse effects, such as inflammation and tissue cysts. Therefore, the development of biodegradable inorganic nanomaterials is of great significance for their biomedical application. This Review will focus on the recent advances of degradable inorganic nanoparticles for cancer theranostics with highlight on the degradation mechanism, aiming to offer an in-depth understanding of degradation behavior and related biomedical applications. Finally, key challenges and guidelines will be discussed to explore biodegradable inorganic nanomaterials with minimized toxicity issues, facilitating their potential clinical translation in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is the mainstay for abdomen and pelvis cancers treatment. However, high energy ray would inflict gastrointestinal (GI) system and adversely disrupt the treatment. The anti-oxidative agents provide a potential route for protecting body from radiation-induced injuries. Herein, highly catalytic nanocubes with dislocation structure are developed for treatment of intestinal injury. Structural and catalytic properties show that Mo incorporation can enhance antioxidant activity by dislocation structure in the alloy. In vitro studies showed that PtPdMo improved cell survival by scavenging radiation-induced ROS accumulation. Furthermore, after animals were exposed to lethal dose of radiation, the survival was increased by 50% with the PtPdMo i.p. treatment. Radioprotection mechanism revealed that PtPdMo alleviated the oxidative stress in multi-organs especially the small intestine by inhibiting intestinal epithelium apoptosis, reducing DNA strands breaks and enhancing repairing ability. In addition, PtPdMo protected hematopoietic system by improving the number of bone marrow and peripheral blood cells.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is an incurable disease with progressive loss of neural function, which is influenced by epigenetic, oxidative stress, metabolic, and nutritional factors. Targeting inhibition of huntingtin protein aggregation is a strategy for HD therapy, but the efficacy is unsatisfactory. Studies found that selenium (Se) levels in the brain are insufficient for HD disease individuals, while improvement in Se homeostasis in the brain may attenuate neuronal loss and dysfunction. In this study, we applied selenium nanoparticles (NPs) (Nano-Se) for the HD disease therapy by regulating HD-related neurodegeneration and cognitive decline based on transgenic HD models of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). At low dosages, Nano-Se NPs significantly reduced neuronal death, relieved behavioral dysfunction, and protected C. elegans from damages in stress conditions. The molecular mechanism further revealed that Nano-Se attenuated oxidative stress, inhibited the aggregation of huntingtin proteins, and downregulated the expression of histone deacetylase family members at mRNA levels. The results suggested that Nano-Se has great potential for Huntington's disease therapy. In conclusion, the mechanism about how Nano-Se NPs protect from damages in stress conditions and how they repair neural functions will benefit HD disease therapy. This study will also guide rational design of Nano-Se NPs or other selenium compounds to improve HD therapy in the future.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their derivatives represent an emerging class of crystalline porous materials with broad potential applications. However, the biomedical applications of them were limited by the large size, low dispersivity, poor bioavailability within cells and metabolic problems. Herein, renal-clearable ultrasmall COF nanodots have been synthesized and utilized as efficient cancer therapy agents. A simple liquid exfoliation strategy was used to prepare COF nanodots. After polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugation, the PEG coated COF nanodots (COF nanodots-PEG) showed improved physiological stability and biocompatibility. In addition, the well isolated porphyrin molecules endowed COF nanodots-PEG good light-triggered reactive oxygen species production ability, which showed excellent photodynamic therapy efficiency with good tumor accumulation ability. In particular, due to the ultrasmall size, COF nanodots-PEG could be cleared from the body through the renal filtration with no appreciable in vivo toxicity. Our study highlights the potential of COFs-based nanoparticles for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The earth-abundant semiconductor Cu3BiS3 (CBS) exhibits promising photovoltaic properties and is often considered analogous to the solar absorbers copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) and copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) despite few device reports. The extent to which this is justifiable is explored via a thorough X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) analysis: spanning core levels, ionization potential, work function, surface contamination, cleaning, band alignment, and valence-band density of states. The XPS analysis overcomes and addresses the shortcomings of prior XPS studies of this material. Temperature-dependent absorption spectra determine a 1.2 eV direct band gap at room temperature; the widely reported 1.4-1.5 eV band gap is attributed to weak transitions from the low density of states of the topmost valence band previously being undetected. Density functional theory HSE06 + SOC calculations determine the band structure, optical transitions, and well-fitted absorption and Raman spectra. Valence band XPS spectra and model calculations find the CBS bonding to be superficially similar to CIGS and CZTS, but the Bi3+ cations (and formally occupied Bi 6s orbital) have fundamental impacts: giving a low ionization potential (4.98 eV), suggesting that the CdS window layer favored for CIGS and CZTS gives detrimental band alignment and should be rejected in favor of a better aligned material in order for CBS devices to progress.

Abstract
Bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) usually exhibit some novel properties due to the synergistic effects of the two distinct metals, which is expected to play an important role in the field of gas sensing. PdPt bimetal NPs with Pd-rich shell and Pt-rich core were successfully synthesized and used to modify SnO2 nanosheets. The 1P-PdPt/SnO2-A sensor obtained by self-assemblies of PdPt NPs exhibited temperature-dependent dual selectivity to CO at 100 °C and CH4 at 320 °C. Furthermore, the sensor possessed good long term stability and antihumidity interference. The activation energy of adsorption for CO and CH4 were estimated by the temperature-dependent response process modeled using Langmuir adsorption kinetics, which proved that the lower activation energy of adsorption corresponded to better sensing performance. The gas-sensing mechanism based on the diffusion depth of the tested gas in the sensing layer was discussed. The dramatically improved sensing performance could be ascribed to the high catalytic activity of PdPt bimetal, the electron sensitization of PdO, and Schottky barrier-type junctions at the interface between SnO2 and PdPt NPs. Our present results demonstrate that bimetal NPs with special structure and components can significantly improve the gas-sensing performance of metal oxide semiconductor and the obtained sensor has great potential in monitoring coal mine gas.

Abstract
Nanoscale copper chalcogenides have been widely used in nanomedicine, however, their pharmacokinetics, degradation, and biological effects of released copper ions are usually overlooked, which are crucial for their future clinical translation. Herein, we report the in vitro and in vivo release of copper ions from polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) functionalized ultrasmall copper selenide (Cu2-xSe) theranostic nanoparticles. We synthesized a Cu2+-specific fluorescent probe (NCM), which can quickly and specifically react with copper ions to exhibit very strong near infrared fluorescence. The in vitro study shows that copper ions can be slowly released from Cu2-xSe nanoparticles in aqueous solution with the progress of their oxidation. The release of copper ions from Cu2-xSe nanoparticles in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages is very fast, evidenced by the gradual increase of fluorescence intensity and the diffusion of fluorescence from cytoplasm into nuclei. We also demonstrate the distribution, degradation, and the metabolism of ultrasmall Cu2-xSe nanoparticles by the in vivo fluorescence imaging, the blood routine test, blood biochemistry and histology analysis, and the characterization of copper transport and binding proteins. The results show that ultrasmall Cu2-xSe nanoparticles were mainly eliminated through feces and urine from the body within 72 h after intravenous injection, and the released copper ions did not cause severe toxicity. Our research highlights the great potential of copper chalcogenide nanoparticles in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Ultrasmall CuCo2S4 nanocrystals (NCs) have been demonstrated as an effective agent in the photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumors, but have not been investigated for treatment of arterial inflammation, which is critical in the initiation and development of atherosclerosis (AS), a leading cause of vascular diseases worldwide. In this study, CuCo2S4 NCs were synthesized and used as an efficient PTT nanoplatform for arterial inflammation. In vitro experiments illustrated an effective ablation of inflammatory macrophages by CuCo2S4 incubation combined with the irradiation with an 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser. In vivo experiments in an apolipoprotein E knockout (Apo E-/-) mouse model showed that the local injection with CuCo2S4 followed by irradiation with an 808 nm NIR laser notably ablated infiltrating inflammatory macrophages and effectively reduced arterial inflammation and arterial stenosis. This work provides a new strategy for treatment of AS by exploring bimetal sulfides as effective PTT agents.

Abstract
The vigorous development of nanotechnology has been accompanied by an equally strong interest and research efforts in nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs). However, only a few NDDSs have been translated into clinic thus far. One of the important hurdles is the lack of tools to comprehensively and directly trace the biological fate of NDDSs. Recently, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophores have emerged as attractive bioimaging tools due to flexible controllability, negligible toxicity and superior photostability. Herein, we recapitulate the current advances in the application of AIE fluorophores to monitor NDDSs both in vitro and in vivo. Particularly, we discuss the cellular fates of self-indicating and stimuli-responsive NDDSs with AIE fluorophores. Moreover, we highlight the in vivo application of AIE agents on the long-term tracking of therapeutics and the multi-modal monitoring of diagnostics in NDDSs. Challenges and opportunities in AIE-guided exploration of NDDSs are also discussed in detail.

Abstract
Clinically used iodinated computer tomography (CT) contrast agents suffer from low sensitivity, and the emerging lanthanide-chelates and CT imaging nanoagents raise great safety concerns. The fusion of high sensitivity and good biocompatibility is highly desired for the development of CT contrast agents. Herein, we propose a facile and green one-pot synthesis strategy for the fabrication of a small molecular CT contrast agent, Bi-diethylene triamine pentaacetate acid (DTPA) complex, for high-performance CT and spectral CT imaging. The Bi-DTPA exhibits yield of near 100%, outstanding water solubility, favorable biocompatibility, large-scale production capability, and superior X-ray attenuation ability, and is successfully applied in high-quality in vivo kidney imaging and gastrointestinal tract CT imaging and appealing spectral CT imaging. The proposed contrast agent can be rapidly excreted from body, avoiding the potential side effects caused by the long-term retention in vivo. Furthermore, our design shows great potential in developing diverse multifunctional contrast agents via chemical modification. The proposed Bi-DTPA with unique superiorities shows a bright prospect in clinic CT imaging, especially spectral CT imaging, and lays down a new way for the design of high-performance CT contrast agents with great clinical transformation potential.

Abstract
Intracellular microRNA (miRNA) imaging remains a key challenge due to its low abundance. Herein, we integrate a rationally designed elegant entropy-driven DNA probe with assisted DNA fuel on hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (HCuSNPs) for intracellular miRNA imaging. The anchored assisted DNA fuel strand could be efficiently released by a NIR-II laser irradiation induced photothermal effect of the HCuSNPs. The DNA machine was activated by target miRNA binding and powered by NIR-responsive released DNA fuel through toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions, accomplished by strong fluorescence recovery. It demonstrated 2 orders of magnitude improvement in the detection sensitivity compared to molecular beacons (MBs). Reliable intracellular low-abundance miRNA imaging among different cells and monitoring of down-regulated miRNA was realized without external enzyme or fuel addition. Oncogenic miRNA imaging in vivo was also realized. The entropy-driven DNA machine system provides a facile and powerful tool for intracellular miRNA analysis and related biomedical applications.

Abstract
Recent development of precise nanomedicine has aroused an overwhelming interest in integration of diagnosis and treatment for cancers. Designing renal-clearable and targeting nanoparticles (NPs) has specific cancer theranostic implications and remains a challenging task. In this work, the ultrasmall folic acid (FA) and bovine serum albumin-modified Bi-Bi2S3 heterostructure nanoparticles NPs (Bi-Bi2S3/BSA&FA NPs) with excellent computed tomography (CT) and photoacoustic imaging abilities and outstanding photothermal performances were synthesized in an aqueous phase route via a simple method. Bi-Bi2S3/BSA&FA NPs have the following criteria: (i) Bi-Bi2S3/BSA&FA NPs with heterostructure possess better stability than Bi NPs and higher Bi content than Bi2S3 NPs, which are conducive to the enhancement of CT imaging effect; (ii) Bi-Bi2S3/BSA&FA NPs with FA molecules on the surface could target the tumor site effectively; (iii) Bi-Bi2S3/BSA&FA NPs could inhibit tumor growth effectively under 808 nm laser irradiation; (iv) ultrasmall Bi-Bi2S3/BSA&FA NPs could be cleared through kidney and liver within a reasonable time, avoiding a long-term retention/toxicity. Therefore, the renal clearable Bi-Bi2S3/BSA&FA NPs are a promising agent for targeting cancer theranostics.

Abstract
High energy ray in medical diagnosis and therapy can benefit to patients, but can also cause the significant damages to biomolecules such as DNA, as well as free radical generation, inevitably leading to numerous side effects. Small molecular radioprotectors provide an effective route to preserve the healthy tissue and whole body from ionizing radiation, but always have a short circulation time in body. Inorganic nanoparticles show major protection effect but their heavy metal components considerably jeopardize translational promise due to suboptimal biocompatibility. Herein, we report a novel protein nanoparticle that can overcome limitations of both small molecular and inorganic nanoparticle radioprotectors and can be used as a radioprotector with spontaneous biocompatibility, outstanding pharmacokinetics and improvement on survival rate under exposure to γ-ray irradiation. PHA-L protein nanoparticle serves to clear excessive reactive oxygen species in vivo, prevents radiation-induced hematopoietic and gastrointestinal damages and boosts the survival rate of irradiated mice to ∼70%. A detailed study of the mechanism shows PHA-L protein nanoparticle can target and activate the toll-like receptor 5 in vitro and in vivo, and thus protect irradiated cells by immune response. Importantly, the PHA-L protein nanoparticle can perform highly efficient clearance while eliciting negligible toxicological response.

Abstract
Integration of multiple diagnostic/therapeutic modalities into a single system with ultrasmall size, excellent photothermal/photodynamic properties, high cellular uptake efficiency, nuclear delivery capacity, rapid renal clearance, and good biosafety is highly desirable for cancer theranostics, but still remains challenging. Here, a novel type of multifunctional nanodots (denoted as BCCGH) was synthesized by mixing bovine serum albumin, carbon dots, and metal ions (Cu2+ and Gd3+), followed by the conjugation with a photosensitizer (HPPH). The nanodots hold great promise for fluorescence/photoacoustic/magnetic resonance/photothermal imaging-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PDT) because of their appealing properties such as high photothermal conversion efficiency (68.4%), high longitudinal relaxivity (11.84 mM-1 s-1, 7 T), and superior colloidal stability with negligible Gd3+ release. Benefiting from the massive cellular uptake, endoplasmic reticulum/mitochondrion-targeting ability, and mild near-infrared laser irradiation-promoted nuclear delivery of BCCGH, a high anticancer therapeutic efficiency is achieved in the subsequent in vitro PDT. Besides, as revealed by the in vivo/ex vivo results, the nanodots also exhibit excellent tumor accumulation, efficient renal clearance, complete tumor ablation, and exceptional biosafety. To summarize, this work develops a carbon dot-mediated and albumin-based synthetic approach for constructing ultrasmall and multifunctional nanodots, which may hold great potential for cancer theranostics and beyond.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO)/poly (lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds have promising applications in the biomedical field. However, greater attention is focused on the incorporated system and its applications in normal cells. In this work, a novel GO immobilized PLGA nanofibrous scaffold assisted by polydopamine (PLGA-PDA-GO) is developed for growth inhibition of HT-29 colon cancer cells. The interactions between GO and PDA are attributed to a π-π conjugate interaction and electrostatic attraction. In addition to the enhancement of thermal stability and mechanical strength, the surface roughness, hydrophilicity, and electro-activity of the scaffolds are significantly improved by immobilization of GO. The scaffolds show good inhibition of HT-29, and immobilized GO is observed to be in contact with but not internalized in HT-29 cells. The cytotoxicity mechanism of scaffolds toward HT-29 is attributed to intracellular activated reactive oxygen species that result from the physical interaction of the sharp GO edges and electrical signals of π-π stacking between PDA and GO.

Optoacoustic imaging identifies ovarian cancer using a microenvironment targeted theranostic wormhole mesoporous silica nanoparticle. Biomaterials 2018; 182:114-126.

Abstract
At the intersection of the newly emerging fields of optoacoustic imaging and theranostic nanomedicine, promising clinical progress can be made in dismal prognosis of ovarian cancer. An acidic pH targeted wormhole mesoporous silica nanoparticle (V7-RUBY) was developed to serve as a novel tumor specific theranostic nanoparticle detectable using multispectral optoacoustic tomographic (MSOT) imaging. We report the synthesis of a small, < 40 nm, biocompatible asymmetric wormhole pore mesoporous silica core particle that has both large loading capacity and favorable release kinetics combined with tumor-specific targeting and gatekeeping. V7-RUBY exploits the acidic tumor microenvironment for tumor-specific targeting and tumor-specific release. In vitro, treatment with V7-RUBY containing either paclitaxel or carboplatin resulted in increased cell death at pH 6.6 in comparison to drug alone (p < 0.0001). In orthotopic ovarian xenograft mouse models, V7-RUBY containing IR780 was specifically detected within the tumor 7X and 4X higher than the liver and >10X higher than in the kidney using both multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) imaging with secondary confirmation using near infrared fluorescence imaging (p < 0.0004). The V7-RUBY system carrying a cargo of either contrast agent or an anti-neoplastic drug has the potential to become a theranostic nanoparticle which can improve both diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Materials with efficient potential in imaging as well as therapy are gaining particular attention in current medical research. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been recently recognized as a promising treatment option for solid tumors. Still, most of the nanomaterial-based PDT modules either employ an additional photosensitizer or require high power laser sources. Also, they suffer from a lack of responsiveness in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Nanomaterials that could realize PDT independently (without any photosensitizer), at safe laser dose and in the deep tissue penetrative NIR region would definitely be better solid tumor treatment options. Methods: Herein, Cu- and Bi-based bimetal chalcogenide (Cu3BiS3), with absorption in the NIR region was developed. High-performance PDT of cancer and high-contrast x-ray imaging of tumor were performed in vivo. Biocompatibility of the NCs was also assessed in vivo. Results: The highlight of the results was the realization of ultra-low dose NIR laser-mediated PDT, which has not been achieved before, leading to complete tumor regression. This could be a breakthrough in providing a pain- and scar-less treatment option, especially for solid tumors and malignant/benign subcutaneous masses. Though the NCs are active in the photo-thermal therapy (PTT) regime as well, focus is given to the exciting aspect of extremely low power-induced PDT observed here. Conclusion: Their extended in vivo biodistribution with commendable hemo- and histo-compatibilities, along with imaging and multi-therapeutic capabilities, project these Cu3BiS3 NCs as promising, prospective theranostic candidates.

Abstract
Despite its 5-year event-free survival rate increasing to 60-65% due to surgery and chemotherapy, osteosarcoma (OS) remains one of the most threatening malignant human tumors, especially in young patients. Therefore, a new approach that combines early diagnosis with efficient tumor eradication and bioimaging is urgently needed. Here, a new type of mesoporous silica-coated bismuth sulfide nanoparticles (Bi2 S3 @MSN NPs) is developed. The well distributed mesoporous pores and large surface areas hold great promise for drug protection and encapsulation (doxorubicin (DOX), 99.85%). Moreover, the high photothermal efficiency of Bi2 S3 @MSNs (36.62%) offers great possibility for cancer synergistic treatment and highly near-infrared-triggered drug release (even at an ultralow power density of 0.3 W cm-2 ). After covalently conjugated to arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide [c(RGDyC)], the NPs exhibit a high specificity for osteosarcoma and finally accumulate in the tumor cells (tenfold more than peritumoral tissues) for computed tomography (CT) imaging and tumor ablation. Importantly, the synergistic photothermal therapy-chemotherapy of the RGD-Bi2 S3 @MSN/DOX significantly ablates the highly malignant OS. It is further proved that the superior combined killing effect is achieved by activating the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Hence, the smart RGD-Bi2 S3 @MSN/DOX theranostic platform is a promising candidate for future applications in CT monitoring and synergistic treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Developing a biocompatible nanotheranostic platform integrating diagnostic and therapeutic functions is a great prospect for cancer treatment. However, it is still a great challenge to synthesize nanotheranostic agents using an ultra-facile method. In the research reported here, ultrasmall polyethylenimine-protected silver bismuth sulfide (PEI-AgBiS2) nanodots were successfully synthesized using an ultra-facile and environmentally friendly strategy (1 min only at room temperature), which could be described as a "rookie method". PEI-AgBiS2 nanodots show good monodispersity and biocompatibility. For the first time, PEI-AgBiS2 nanodots were reported as a powerful and safe nanotheranostic agent for cancer treatment. PEI-AgBiS2 nanodots exhibit excellent computed tomography (CT) and photoacoustic (PA) dual-modal imaging ability, which could effectively guide photothermal cancer therapy. Furthermore, PEI-AgBiS2 nanodots exhibit a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 35.2%). The photothermal therapy (PTT) results demonstrated a highly efficient tumor ablation ability. More importantly, the blood biochemistry and histology analyses verify that the PEI-AgBiS2 nanodots have negligible long-term toxicity. This work highlights that PEI-AgBiS2 nanodots produced using this extremely effective method are a high-performance and safe PTT agent. These findings open a new gateway for synthesizing nanotheranostic agents by using this ultra-facile method in the future.

Abstract
Ultrasmall nanoparticles have attracted great attention because of their efficient renal clearance. However, their bioapplication is still severely hampered by the poor performance derived from low tumor accumulation. Here, a large, self-assembled nanoparticle was designed for cancer theranostics and used with paclitaxel (PTX) to assemble bovine serum albumin-coated ultrasmall gallic acid-Fe(III) (GA-Fe@BSA-PTX) nanoparticles by the hydrophobic effect. The GA-Fe@BSA-PTX self-assembled nanoparticles featured appropriate size (∼115 nm), high water dispersity and stability, and low cell toxicity. Importantly, the magnetic resonance imaging performance and tumor accumulation of GA-Fe@BSA-PTX self-assembled nanoparticles were much better than those of the ultrasmall GA-Fe@BSA nanoparticles. Furthermore, the GA-Fe@BSA-PTX self-assembled nanoparticles exhibited an excellent therapeutic effect on tumors, owing to the combined chemo- and photothermal effects. This work highlights the great potential of the as-synthesized GA-Fe@BSA-PTX self-assembled nanoparticles as a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform, offering compelling opportunities for theranostic applications in the clinic.

Abstract
High Bi-ratio ternary sulfides have been recently reported as superior thermoelectric materials. However, the synthesis of high Bi-ratio Cu-Bi-S nanocrystal remains a challenge. Reported here are the synthesis and characterization of three-phase Cu-Bi-S nanocrystals with the nominal chemical formulae of Cu1.57 Bi4.57 S8 , Cu2.93 Bi4.89 S9 and Cu3 BiS3 . The samples were prepared using a Bi2 S3 precursor by varying the amount and type of Cu2-x S (i. e. Cu2 S or Cu7.2 S4 ) reactants. TEM images reveal that two new samples crystalized having nanorod morphology with radii of approximately 50 nm and lengths of 200 nm. XPS results indicate that the valence states of Bi in both the two new phases are +3 with viable oxidation states for Cu. UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy reveals that narrow direct bandgaps are 1.12 and 1.27 eV for Cu1.57 Bi4.57 S8 and Cu2.93 Bi4.89 S9 , respectively. Besides, this method could also be applied to synthesize the Cu3 BiS3 phase with a new nanoplate morphology. The as-synthesized Cu-Bi-S samples show Cu/Bi ratio-dependent photoresponsive properties. This study not only reports the structure and bandgap of two ternary sulfides, which have only been discovered in the mineral previously, but also provides an efficient method for synthesizing Bi-rich ternary chalcogenide nanocrystals.

Abstract
The nanosized metal-organic particles (NMOPs) recently have attracted tremendous attentions in biomedical applications. However, few studies have developed metal-organic nanoparticles (NMOPs) as near-infrared (NIR) II phototherapeutic agents and as Fenton-like agents for cancer theranostics. Herein, directly using organic dye and Cu(II)-ion complexes to construct NMOPs, as dual-mode therapeutic agent for PA imaging-guided photochemotherapy in NIR II window, is reported. The NMOPs are simply an assembly of Cu(II) ion and tetrahydroxyanthraquinone (THQ) complexes [Cu(II)-THQ] n through the coordination effect, van der Waals force, and π-π interactions. After modification of polyethylene glycol (PEG-(NH2)2), the obtained Cu-THQNPs endow excellent biocompatibility and stability in physiological conditions. Because of the strong absorption at NIR II window and photoinduced electrontransfer (PET) mechanism, the Cu-THQNPs not only acted as an excellent photothermal agent with extremely high light-to-heat conversion ability (51.34%) at 1064 nm for phototherapy but also explored as the PA contrast agent for precisely tracking and guiding the therapy in vivo. Most strikingly, our Cu-THQNPs can be degraded by tumor-specific acidic-cleaving of the coordination bonds and follow by the slow release of Cu(II) into tumors, which can act as Fenton-like agents to generate •OH from H2O2 for enhancing the antitumor efficacy in vivo. With almost 100% prevention of the tumor growth for ca. 14 days and no obvious toxicity based on blood biochemical/histological analysis, this work highlights the Cu-THQNPs as an efficient NIR II therapeutic agent for precise cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation produces excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) which impose detrimental effects on biological systems. Thus, it is important to explore clinically safe and efficacious radioprotection agents to scavenge ROS and reduce the risks of radiotherapy. Recently, emerging catalytic nanomaterials such as sulfide nanomaterials have shown capability of clearing ROS in vivo by unique electron transfers between atoms, but their catalytic activities are yet suboptimal. As such, there is an unmet need to improve catalytic properties for stronger antioxidant activities and radiation protection. Herein, we prepared ultrasmall Au-MoS2 clusters (∼2.5 nm) and they showed enhanced catalytic properties via gold intercalation facilitating increased active sites and synergistic effects. Electrocatalysis results revealed that the catalytic activity of Au-MoS2 towards H2O2 was superior to ultrasmall MoS2 without Au. As a result, we found that improving the electrocatalytic property of Au-MoS2 can effectively enhance corresponding antioxidant activities and radioprotection effects in vivo. In addition, Au-MoS2 also showed significant radioprotection in vitro and dramatically reduced the excess of radiation-induced adverse ROS. It also rescued radiation-induced DNA damages and protected the bone marrow hematopoietic system from ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a key role in a variety of physiological processes, and mitochondria-targeting drug delivery is helpful and effective in cancer therapy. Rhodamine123 (Rhod123) and Doxorubicin (Dox) are not new chemical molecules, and they both can inhibit the growth of cancerous cells. Here, we combine these two "old" chemicals with polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) to strengthen the antitumor effect with the aid of near-infrared irradiation. PDA NPs carry these two chemicals tightly by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking besides chemical bonds. The better antitumor profile of PDA-Rhod-Dox comes from the mitochondria-targeting delivery, which decreases ATP in living cells, causing apoptosis of cancerous cells effectively and inhibiting the growth of tumors in mice. The synergistic effect of PDA, Rhod123, and Dox improves the treatment effect of conventional chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
Nanoparticles for biomedical applications are generally formed by bottom-up approaches such as self-assembly, emulsification and precipitation. But these methods usually have critical limitations in fabrication of nanoparticles with controllable morphologies and monodispersed size. Compared with bottom-up methods, top-down nanofabrication techniques offer advantages of high fidelity and high controllability. This review focuses on top-down nanofabrication techniques for engineering particles along with their biomedical applications. We present several commonly used top-down nanofabrication techniques that have the potential to fabricate nanoparticles, including photolithography, interference lithography, electron beam lithography, mold-based lithography (nanoimprint lithography and soft lithography), nanostencil lithography, and nanosphere lithography. Varieties of current and emerging applications are also covered: (i) targeting, (ii) drug and gene delivery, (iii) imaging, and (iv) therapy. Finally, a future perspective of the nanoparticles fabricated by the top-down techniques in biomedicine is also addressed.

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
Multi-modal imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) has aroused extensive attention in biomedical research recently because it can provide more comprehensive information for accurate diagnosis and treatment. In this research, the manganese ion chelated endogenous biopolymer melanin nanoparticles were successfully prepared for magnetic resonance (MR)/photoacoustic (PA) dual-modal imaging-guided PTT. The obtained nanoparticles with an ultrasmall size of about 3.2 nm exhibited negligible cytotoxicity, high relaxivity for MRI, an excellent photothermal effect and PA activity. Moreover, in vivo MRI and PAI results all demonstrated that the nanoparticles began to diffuse in the blood after intratumoral injection into tumor-bearing mice and could spread throughout the whole tumor region at 3 h, indicating the optimal treatment time. The subsequent photothermal therapy of cancer cells in vivo was carried out and the result showed that tumor growth could be effectively inhibited without inducing any observed side effects. Besides, melanin as an endogenous biopolymer has native biocompatibility and biodegradability, and it can be excreted through both renal and hepatobiliary pathways after treatment. Therefore, the melanin-Mn nanoparticles may assist in better indicating the optimal treatment time, monitoring the therapeutic process and enhancing the therapeutic effect and showed great clinical translation potential for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
In-vivo intravital short wavelength infrared (SWIR, 1000-2300 nm) fluorescence imaging has attracted considerable attention in the imaging of tumor vasculature due to its low background, high sensitivity, and deep penetration. It can noninvasively provide dynamic feedback on the tumorigenesis, growth, necrosis and metastasis. Herein, monodisperse Nd3+-doped core-shell downconversion luminescent nanocrystals with strong emission in the second near-infrared (NIR II) window, strong temperature-dependent paramagnetism and fast attenuation to X-rays were prepared from ultra-small nanoclusters. The use of nanoclusters resulted in very uniform bright nanocrystals with a relative quantum yield comparable to the standard dye IR-26. These bright NIR nanocrystals were modified with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] to endow with excellent water-solubility, biocompatibility and a blood circulation half-life of 5.9 h. They were then successfully used to demonstrate the variation of tumor vasculature with tumor progression from tumorigenesis, growth, to necrosis in the subcutaneous breast tumor through the NIR II fluorescence imaging. They were also used as contrast agent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging of tumor to provide complementary anatomic structure. Their great potential in NIR II imaging of tumor was further demonstrated with an orthotopic breast tumor. Their in-vivo biosafety was also investigated by hemanalysis and histological analyses.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of rare earth upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based nanomedical platforms have evoked increasing interest. However, their bio-safety is always the most worrisome problem. Most nanoparticles can accumulate in the internal organs, leading to acute toxicity, a long-term inflammatory response, or even fibrosis and cancer. In contrast, ultrasmall (sub-10 nm) nanoparticles have minimal safety risk because they can escape from macrophages, pass biological barriers, and be easily degraded or excreted from the body. In this review, we mainly introduce new progress in preparation strategies, imaging and drug delivery with regards to ultrasmall UCNPs, with an emphasis on rare earth fluorides, NaREF4. Finally, we discuss the future outlook and challenges relating to ultrasmall UCNPs.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles or metal-based compounds have drawn attention in various fields ranging from industry to medicine because of their unique physicochemical properties. Bismuth (Bi) compounds and nanomaterials have been commonly used in alloys, electronic industry, batteries, and as flame retardants as well as for anti- Helicobacter pylori therapy, while the nanomaterial form has great potential for computed tomography imaging and thermotherapy, both of which will be introduced in this review. Although Bi was used for several decades, there is a lack of detailed information concerning their toxicity and mechanisms on human health. We described the toxicity of Bi on the kidney that seemed to be relatively known by researchers, while the mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, our group has found that Bi compounds, including bismuth nitrate (BN) and Bi nanomaterials, can induce autophagy in kidney cells. We also extended our findings by selecting five Bi compounds, and the results showed that BN, bismuth oxychloride, bismuth citrate, colloidal bismuth subcitrate, and Bi nanomaterials all induced slight cytotoxicity accompanied with autophagy. Although the role of autophagy in Bi-induced cytotoxicity and kidney injury is under investigation by us, autophagy may help with the exploration of the mechanisms of nephrotoxicity by Bi.

Abstract
Multifunctional nano-biomaterials with the integration of diagnostic and therapeutic functions have shown great promise in improving the efficacy of cancer therapy. Herein, a new nanoplatform based on functionalized Cu3BiS3 nanoparticles (NPs) is fabricated for tumour-targeted combination phototherapy. The as-synthesized hydrophobic Cu3BiS3 NPs are modified with DSPE-PEG/DSPE-PEG-NH2, followed by the conjugation of the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and the target ligand folic acid (FA). The introduced Ce6 can further form a chelate complex with Gd3+. The rationally designed Cu3BiS3-PEG-(Ce6-Gd3+)-FA NPs, which have high physiological stability and good biocompatibility, can specifically target FA-receptor over-expressed tumour cells. The Cu3BiS3-PEG-(Ce6-Gd3+)-FA NPs exhibit effective dual-modal CT and MR imaging in the xenografted HeLa tumours. Importantly, excellent in vivo anti-tumour effects have been achieved by synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy using the multifunctional NPs. We expect that this versatile nanoplatform will play a role in exploring precise cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoagents are promising for precision medicine. However, biodegradable nanoagents with the ability for photoacoustic (PA) imaging guided photothermal therapy (PTT) are rare. We herein report the development of biodegradable semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) with enhanced PA and PTT efficacy for cancer therapy. The design capitalizes on the enzymatically oxidizable nature of vinylene bonds in conjunction with polymer chemistry to synthesize a biodegradable semiconducting polymer (DPPV) and transform it into water-soluble nanoparticles (SPNV). As compared with its counterpart SPN (SPNT), the presence of vinylene bonds within the polymer backbone also endows SPNV with a significantly enhanced mass absorption coefficient (1.3-fold) and photothermal conversion efficacy (2.4-fold). As such, SPNV provides the PA signals and the photothermal maximum temperature higher than SPNT, allowing detection and photothermal ablation of tumors in living mice in a more sensitive and effective way. Our study thus reveals a general molecular design to enhance the biodegradability of optically active polymer nanoparticles while dramatically elevating their imaging and therapeutic capabilities.

Abstract
Hybrid nanoparticles have intrinsic advantages to achieve better activity in photocatalysis compared to single-component materials, as it can synergistically combine functional components, which promote light absorption, charge transportation, surface reaction, and catalyst regeneration. Through functional modular assembly, a rational and stepwise approach has been developed to construct Fe3O4-CdS-Au trimer nanoparticles and its derivatives as magnetically separable catalysts for photothermo-catalytic hydrogen evolution from water. In a typical step-by-step synthetic process, Fe3O4-Ag dimers, Fe3O4-Ag2S dimers, Fe3O4-CdS dimers, and Fe3O4-CdS-Au trimers were synthesized by seeding growth, sulfuration, ion exchange, and in situ reduction consequently. Following the same reaction route, a series of derivative trimer nanoparticles with alternative semiconductor and metal were obtained for water-reduction reaction. The experimental results show that the semiconductor acts as an active component for photocatalysis, the metal nanoparticle acts as a cocatalyst for enhancement of charge separation, and the Fe3O4 component helps in the convenient separation of catalysts in magnetic field and improves photocatalytic activity under near-infrared illumination due to photothermic effect.

Abstract
A theranostic platform combining synergistic therapy and real-time imaging attracts enormous attention but still faces great challenges, such as tedious modifications and lack of efficient accumulation in tumor. Here, a novel type of theranostic agent, bismuth sulfide@mesoporous silica (Bi2S3@ mPS) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs), for targeted image-guided therapy of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) positive breast cancer is developed. To generate such NPs, polyvinylpyrrolidone decorated rod-like Bi2S3 NPs are chemically encapsulated with a mesoporous silica (mPS) layer and loaded with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin. The resultant NPs are then chemically conjugated with trastuzumab (Tam, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER-2 overexpressed breast cancer cells) to form Tam-Bi2S3@mPS NPs. By in vitro and in vivo studies, it is demonstrated that the Tam-Bi2S3@mPS bear multiple desired features for cancer theranostics, including good biocompatibility and drug loading ability as well as precise and active tumor targeting and accumulation (with a bismuth content in tumor being ≈16 times that of nontargeted group). They can simultaneously serve both as an excellent contrast enhancement probe (due to the presence of strong X-ray-attenuating bismuth element) for computed tomography deep tissue tumor imaging and as a therapeutic agent to destruct tumors and prevent metastasis by synergistic photothermalchemo therapy.

Abstract
Photothermal agents with improved bioavailabilities can generate heat from near-infrared light, which has been efficiently used for in vivo photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer, with minimum tissue invasion. Strategies for developing organic near-infrared-absorbing molecules for photothermal cancer therapy have drawn intensive attention among academic investigators. However, conventional organic near-infrared-absorbing molecules may not only have complex synthesis procedures, but also easily suffer from photobleaching under light irradiation. These drawbacks might lead to an increase in the synthesis cost, and elicit a risk of side effects in PTT. Thus, it is essential to devise an organic photothermal agent with stable photothermal capacity, which involves a facile synthesis process. In this study, incorporating a secondary amine group (donor) in the bay regions of perylenediimides (PDIs) could lead to a 150-nm bathochromic shift of the absorption maximum. Next, a modification of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) at the periphery of the chromophore renders the targeted macromolecule PDI-PEG highly water-soluble, and capable of intense absorption in the near-infrared region. The self-assembled PDI-based nanoparticles (PDI-NPs) have a size of 55 nm in aqueous solutions. PDI-NPs with excellent photostability possess a high photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 43% ± 2%. Finally, PDI-NPs allow for efficient in vitro and in vivo photothermal cancer therapy. Meanwhile, PDI-NPs exhibit quite low cytotoxicity and no biotoxicity on major organs in vivo. Thus, these easily-manufactured PDI-NPs can serve as extremely stable photothermal agents for efficient photothermal cancer therapy.
