Abstract
Serum protein as naturally essential biomacromolecules has recently emerged as a versatile carrier for diagnostic and therapeutic drug delivery for cancer nanomedicine with superior biocompatibility, improved pharmacokinetics and enhanced targeting capacity. A variety of serum proteins have been utilized for drug delivery, mainly including albumin, ferritin/apoferritin, transferrin, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein and hemoglobin. As evidenced by the success of paclitaxel-bound albumin nanoparticles (AbraxaneTM), serum protein-based nanoparticles have gained attractive attentions for precise biological design and potential clinical application. In this review, we summarize the general design strategies, targeting mechanisms and recent development of serum protein-based nanoparticles in the field of cancer nanomedicine. Moreover, we also concisely specify the current challenges to be addressed for a bright future of serum protein-based nanomedicines.

Abstract
Molecular imaging has gained utmost importance in the recent past in early diagnosis of diseases. In comparison to other imaging modalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven to extend its abilities not only for its usage of non-ionizing radiation but also for the high spatial resolution in soft tissues. A major limitation faced by MRI is the sensitivity in detecting diseased conditions until a certain stage. At present, this limitation is overcome with the use of contrast agents that show potential in altering the T1 and T2 relaxation times of the hydrogen protons. This modulation to the relaxation times leads to better contrast differences based on the type of contrast agent and the pulse sequence being engaged for acquiring images. Water molecules, as the major contributor of hydrogen protons, are proven to interact with such contrast agents. Major drawbacks noted with the marketed MRI contrast agents are their toxicity and renal clearance. To conquer these issues, magnetic nanomaterials are being researched for their abilities to match the contrast enhancement offered by traditional agents reducing their drawbacks. Furthermore, comparative diagnosis with both T1 and T2 contrast at the same time has also interested investigators. To achieve this, twin mode T1 and T2 weighted contrast agents are developed utilizing the remarkable properties extended by magnetic nanoplatforms. As a step forward, multimodal imaging agents are also being engineered based on these magnetic nanoplatforms that will generate cross-verified diagnoses using multiple imaging modalities with a unique imaging agent. This review starts by introducing the basics of MRI with major focus on the typical interactions of water molecules with a variety of magnetic nanomaterials. The review also concentrates on the clinical needs and nanomaterials available for twin T1 and T2 contrast with a minor introduction to multimodal imaging agents. In conclusion, the advent of MRI with the advantages offered by magnetic nanomaterials is summarized, leading to insights for future developments.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cabazitaxel (CBZ) is a new taxane-based antitumor drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of prostate cancer, especially for patients with advanced prostate cancer for whom docetaxel is ineffective or causes aggravation. However, Tween 80 injection can cause serious allergic reactions, and CBZ itself has strong toxicity, adverse reactions, and poor tumor selectivity, which greatly limits its clinical applications. Therefore, the CBZ-loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs) were developed to overcome the allergenic response of Tween 80 and realize the integration of diagnosis and treatment. METHODS CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs were prepared by the biomineralization method. The characterization, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), safety, and antitumor activity of the nanoparticles were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS The prepared nanoparticles were uniform in size (166 nm), with good MRI performance and stability over 24 h. Compared with CBZ-Tween 80 injection, CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs showed much lower hemolysis, similar tumor inhibition, and enhanced cellular uptake in vitro. The pharmacokinetic behavior of CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs in rats showed that the retention time of the nanoparticles was prolonged, the clearance rate decreased, and the area under the drug-time curve increased. The distribution of CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs in nude mice was characterized by UPLC-MS/MS and MRI, and the results showed that CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs could effectively target tumor tissues with reduced distribution in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys compared with CBZ-Tween 80, which indicated that CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs not only had a passive targeting effect on tumor tissue but also achieved the integration of diagnosis and treatment. In vivo, CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs showed improved tumor inhibitory effect with a safer profile. CONCLUSION In summary, CBZ-BSA-Gd-NPs can serve as an effective therapeutic drug carrier to deliver CBZ into prostate cancer, and realize the integration of diagnosis and therapy.

Gadolinium-based bimodal probes to enhance T1-Weighted magnetic resonance/optical imaging. Acta Biomater 2020; 110:15-36. [PMID: 32335310 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.03.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2019] [Revised: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 03/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Gd3+-based contrast agents have been extensively used for signal enhancement of T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to the large magnetic moment and long electron spin relaxation time of the paramagnetic Gd3+ ion. The key requisites for the development of Gd3+-based contrast agents are their relaxivities and stabilities which can be achieved by chemical modifications. These modifications include coordinating Gd3+ with a chelator such as diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) or 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA), encapsulating Gd3+ in nanoparticles, conjugation to biomacromolecules such as polymer micelles and liposomes, or non-covalent binding to plasma proteins. In order to have a coherent diagnostic and therapeutic approach and to understand diseases better, the combination of MRI and optical imaging (OI) techniques into one technique entity has been developed to overcome the conventional boundaries of either imaging modality used alone through bringing the excellent spatial resolution of MRI and high sensitivity of OI into full play. Novel MRI and OI bimodal probes have been extensively studied in this regard. This review is an attempt to shed some light on the bimodal imaging probes by summarizing all recent noteworthy publications involving Gd3+ containing MR-optical imaging probes. The several key elements such as novel synthetic strategy, high sensitivity, biocompatibility, and targeting of the probes are highlighted in the review. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The present article aims at giving an overview of the existing bimodal MRI and OI imaging probes. The review structured as a series of examples of paramagnetic Gd3+ ions, either as ions in the crystalline structure of inorganic materials or chelates for contrast enhancement in MRI, while they are used as optical imaging probes in different modes. The comprehensive review focusing on the synthetic strategies, characterizations and properties of these bimodal imaging probes will be helpful in a way to prepare related work.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional contrast agents (CAs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They have been extensively investigated as CAs due to their high biocompatibility and excellent magnetic properties. Furthermore, the ease of functionalization of their surfaces with different types of ligands (antibodies, peptides, sugars, etc.) opens up the possibility of carrying out molecular MRI. Thus, IONPs functionalized with epithelial growth factor receptor antibodies, short peptides, like RGD, or aptamers, among others, have been proposed for the diagnosis of various types of cancer, including breast, stomach, colon, kidney, liver or brain cancer. In addition to cancer diagnosis, different types of IONPs have been developed for other applications, such as the detection of brain inflammation or the early diagnosis of thrombosis. This review addresses key aspects in the development of IONPs for MRI applications, namely, synthesis of the inorganic core, functionalization processes to make IONPs biocompatible and also to target them to specific tissues or cells, and finally in vivo studies in animal models, with special emphasis on tumor models.

Abstract
Achieving drug target accumulation in antitumor tissue, simultaneous diagnostic imaging, and optimal release behavior with treatment needs a best chemotherapy procedure involving receptive switch of drug delivery. Constructed on mesoporous silica nanoparticles, which are crossed with multiscale charming nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-aided and alternate magnetic field (AMF) response chemotherapy for breast cancer, we report in this work the assembly of a new theranostics drug conveyance process. Hydrothermal processes (gadolinium(III) oxide nanoparticles [Gd-NPs]) and heat decomposition process (radical size uFe-NPs) were used to prepare superparamagnetic Gd-NPs with multiscale sizes. Gadolinium(III) oxide nanoparticles act as an AMF-responsive heat mediator, while ultra-Fe nanoparticles (uFe-NPs) act as an MRI T2 contrast mediator. Nanoparticles of the mesoporous silica with radially oriented mesochannels were further grown in situ on the surfaces of the Gd-NPs, and the uFe-NPs anticancer drug doxorubicin can be easily incorporated in the mesochannels. To provide better targeting capabilities for the as-synthesized biotin-loaded nanohybrids, the particle surfaces are updated with biotin (Bt). This optimized drug conveyance method based on nanocomposites of SiO2 demonstrated great efficiency of medication charging and receptive properties of AMF stimulus release. However, tests of MRI in vitro showed an outstanding contrast effect in MRI with a high stimulation quality (299 mM−1 s−1). In contrast, the study of in vitro cytotoxicity assessment revealed that an MRI-directed stimulus-mediated theranostics tool can be used as a drug conveyance device to efficiently treat breast cancer.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles have been extensively utilised as negative (T2) contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. In the past few years, researchers have also exploited their application as positive (T1) contrast agents to overcome the limitation of traditional Gd3+ contrast agents. To provide T1 contrast, these particles must present certain physicochemical properties with control over the size, morphology and surface of the particles. In this review, we summarise the reported T1 iron oxide nanoparticles and critically revise their properties, synthetic protocols and application, not only in MRI but also in multimodal imaging. In addition, we briefly summarise the most important nanoparticulate Gd and Mn agents to evaluate whether T1 iron oxide nanoparticles can reach Gd/Mn contrast capabilities.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important imaging modality for clinical disease diagnosis, and nearly 50% of clinical MRI examinations require contrast agents to enhance the diagnostic sensitivity. This review provides a summary of the major MRI contrast agents and their classification, and the advantages and limits of the commercially available MRI contrast agents, and elaborates on the exceedingly small magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (ES-MIONs), dotted core-shell iron and gadolinium hybrid nanoparticles (FeGd-HN) and exceedingly small gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (ES-GON). These nanoparticles can greatly improve the efficiency of T1-weighted MRI due to their high r1 value and low r2/r1 ratio, and are expected to be translated into clinical contrast agents for T1-weighted MRI. The authors also review the diagnostic and therapeutic integration system that combines MRI contrast agents with various tumor therapies, such as MRI-guided ferroptosis therapy, radiosensitization therapy, and photothermal therapy, which allow efficient treatment as well as real-time monitoring of tumors and serve as potential cancer therapy strategies. The possible future research directions in the field of MRI-based multifunctional diagnostic and therapeutic formulations are also discussed.

Abstract
The ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nowadays has been receiving enormous attention in both biomaterial research and clinical diagnosis. MRI contrast agents are generally comprising of T1-weighted and T2-weighted contrast agent types, where T1-weighted contrast agents show positive contrast enhancement with brighter images by decreasing the proton's longitudinal relaxation times and T2-weighted contrast agents show negative contrast enhancement with darker images by decreasing the proton's transverse relaxation times. To meet the incredible demand of MRI, ultra-high-field T2 MRI is gradually attracting the attention of research and medical needs owing to its high resolution and high accuracy for detection. It is anticipated that high field MRI contrast agents can achieve high performance in MRI imaging, where parameters of chemical composition, molecular structure and size of varied contrast agents show contrasted influence in each specific diagnostic test. This review firstly presents the recent advances of nanoparticle contrast agents for MRI. Moreover, multimodal molecular imaging with MRI for better monitoring is discussed during biological process. To fasten the process of developing better contrast agents, deep learning of artificial intelligent (AI) can be well-integrated into optimizing the crucial parameters of nanoparticle contrast agents and achieving high resolution MRI prior to the clinical applications. Finally, prospects and challenges are summarized.

Abstract
The study of ultra-small paramagnetic gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) as in vivo positive (T1) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents is one of the most attractive fields in nanomedicine. The performance of the Gd2O3 NP imaging agents depends on the surface-coating materials. In this study, poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid) (PMVEMA) was used as a surface-coating polymer. The PMVEMA-coated paramagnetic ultra-small Gd2O3 NPs with an average particle diameter of 1.9 nm were synthesized using the one-pot polyol method. They exhibited excellent colloidal stability in water and good biocompatibility. They also showed a very high longitudinal water proton spin relaxivity (r1) value of 36.2 s-1mM-1 (r2/r1 = 2.0; r2 = transverse water proton spin relaxivity) under a 3.0 tesla MR field which is approximately 10 times higher than the r1 values of commercial molecular contrast agents. High positive contrast enhancements were observed in in vivo T1 MR images after intravenous administration of the NP solution sample, demonstrating its potential as a T1 MRI contrast agent.

Small-sized gadolinium oxide based nanoparticles for high-efficiency theranostics of orthotopic glioblastoma. Biomaterials 2020; 235:119783. [PMID: 31981762 PMCID: PMC7024018 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.119783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2019] [Revised: 12/02/2019] [Accepted: 01/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most malignant tumors with poor prognosis and outcomes. Although smaller particle size can lead to higher blood-brain barrier (BBB)-permeability of the nanomaterials, most of the reported BBB-crossable nanomaterials for targeted GBM therapy are larger than 24 nm. To realize theranostics of GBM, co-loading of therapeutic and diagnostic agents on the same nanomaterials further results in larger particle size. In this study, we developed a kind of novel BBB-transportable nanomaterials smaller than 14 nm for high-efficiency theranostics of GBM (i.e., high contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiosensitization of GBM). Typically, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) stabilized extremely small gadolinium oxide nanoparticles with modification of reductive bovine serum albumin (ES-GON-rBSA) was synthesized in water phase, resulting in excellent water-dispersibility. RGD dimer (RGD2, Glu-{Cyclo[Arg-Gly-Asp-(D-Phe)-Lys]}2) and lactoferrin (LF) were then conjugated to the ES-GON-rBSA to obtain composite nanoparticle ES-GON-rBSA-LF-RGD2 with extraordinary relaxivities (r1 = 60.8 mM-1 s-1, r2/r1 = 1.1). The maximum signal enhancement (ΔSNR) for T1-weighted MRI of tumors reached up to 423 ± 42% at 12 h post-injection of ES-GON-rBSA-LF-RGD2, which is much higher than commercial Gd-chelates (<80%). ES-GON-rBSA-LF-RGD2 exhibited high biocompatibility and can transport across the in vitro BBB model and the in vivo BBB of mice due to its small particle size (dh = 13.4 nm) and LF receptor mediated transcytosis. Orthotopic GBM studies reinforce that ES-GON-rBSA3-LF-RGD2 can accumulate in the orthotopic GBM and enhance the radiation therapy of GBM as an effective radiosensitizing agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucose transporter (Glut), a cellular transmembrane receptor, has a key role in the metabolism of cell glucose and is also associated with various human carcinomas. OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent for tumor detection based on paramagnetic gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) coated polycyclodextrin (PCD) and modified with glucose (Gd2O3@PCD-Glu) for the targeting of overexpressed glucose receptors. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this experimental study, 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner was used to assess the specific interactions between Glut1-overexpressing tumor cells (MDA-MB-231) and Gd2O3@PCD-Glu NPs. Furthermore, the capacity of transporting Gd2O3@PCD-Glu NPs to tumor cells was evaluated. RESULTS It was found that the acquired MRI T1 signal intensity of MDA-MB-231 cells that were treated with the Gd2O3@PCD-Glu NPs increased significantly. Based on the results obtained, Gd2O3@PCD-Glu NPs can be applied in targeting Glut1-overexpressing tumor cells in vivo, as well as an MRI-targeted tumor agent to enhance tumor diagnosis. CONCLUSION Results have shown that glucose-shell of magnetic nanoparticles has a key role in diagnosing cancer cells of high metabolic activity.

Abstract
Gadolinium neutron capture therapy (GdNCT) is considered as a new promising cancer therapeutic technique. Nevertheless, limited GdNCT applications have been reported so far. In this study, surface-modified ultrasmall gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (UGNPs) with cancer-targeting ability (davg = 1.8 nm) were for the first time applied to the in vivo GdNCT of cancer using nude model mice with cancer, primarily because each nanoparticle can deliver hundreds of Gd to the cancer site. For applications, the UGNPs were grafted with polyacrylic acid (PAA) for biocompatibility and colloidal stability, which was then conjugated with cancer-targeting arginylglycylaspartic acid (RGD) (shortly, RGD-PAA-UGNPs). The solution sample was intravenously administered into the tails of nude model mice with cancer. At the time of the maximum accumulation of the RGD-PAA-UGNPs at the cancer site, which was monitored using magnetic resonance imaging, the thermal neutron beam was locally irradiated onto the cancer site and the cancer growth was monitored for 25 days. The cancer growth suppression was observed due to the GdNCT effects of the RGD-PAA-UGNPs, indicating that the surface-modified UGNPs with cancer-targeting ability are potential materials applicable to the in vivo GdNCT of cancer. A cancer growth suppression was observed due to the GdNCT effects of the RGD-PAA-UGNPs.![]()

Abstract
Finding an ideal anesthetic agent for postoperative pain control, with long action and low side effects, is still a challenge. Local anesthetics have potential for such application if their time of action is improved. This work introduces a new hybrid formulation formed by the association of a nanostructured lipid carrier with a biopolymeric system to encapsulate bupivacaine (BVC). The hybrid formulation was physicochemical and structurally characterized by DLS, TEM, DSC, XRD and FTIR-ATR, and it remained stable for 12 months at room temperature. In vivo analgesia and imaging tests showed that the hybrid system was able to modulate the release, and to increase the concentration of BVC at the site of action, by forming a nanogel in situ. Such nanogel improved over 5 times (>24 h) the anesthesia duration, when compared to free BVC at clinical (0.5%) doses. Therefore, this novel in situ-forming nanogel shows great potential to be used in postsurgical pain control, improving the action of BVC, without losing its versatility of (infiltrative) application.

Abstract
Palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) of different shapes and sizes have been synthesized by reducing potassium tetrachloropalladinate(II) by l-ascorbic acid (AA) in an aqueous solution phase in the presence of an amphiphilic nonionic surfactant poly ethylene glycol (PEG) via a sonochemical method. Materials have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray soectrscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), particle distribution, and zeta potential studies. Truncated octahedron/fivefold twinned pentagonal rods are formed at room temperature (RT) (25 °C) while hexagonal/trigonal plates are formed at 65 °C. XRD results show evolution of anisotropically grown, phase-pure, and well crystalline face-centered cubic Pd NPs at both temperatures. FTIR and SERS studies revealed adsorption of ascorbic acid (AA) and PEG at NP's surface. Particle's size distribution graph indicates formation of particles having wide size distribution while the zeta potential particle surface is negatively charged and stable. The truncated octahedron/fivefold twinned pentagonal rod-shaped Pd NPs, formed at RT, while thermally stable and kinetically controlled hexagonal/trigonal plate-like Pd NPs, evolved at higher temperature 65 °C. The obtained Pd NPs have a high surface area and narrow pore size distribution. To predict protein reactivity of the Pd cluster, docking has been done with DNA and lung cancer-effective proteins. The cytotoxicity of the Pd NPs has been screened on human lung cancer cells A-549 at 37 °C. The biological adaptability exhibited by Pd NPs has opened a pathway in biochemical applications.

Abstract
β-Cyclodextrine-based polyester was coated on the surface of gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (NPs) and then functionalised with folic acid to produce an efficient pH-sensitive targeted theranostic system (Gd2O3@PCD-FA) for doxorubicin delivery and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Gd2O3@PCD-FA was fully characterised by FTIR, vibrating sample magnetometer, TGA, XRD, SEM and TEM analyses. The dissolution profile of DOX showed a pH sensitive release. No significant toxicity was observed for the targeted NPs (Gd2O3@PCD-FA) and DOX-loaded NPs inhibiting M109 cells viability more efficiently than free DOX. Moreover, the negligible hemolytic activity of the targeted NPs showed their appropriate hemocompatibility. The preferential uptake was observed for the developed Gd2O3@PCD-FA-DOX NPs in comparison with Dotarem using T1- and T2-weighted MRI in the presence of folate receptor-positive and folate receptor-negative cancer cells (M109 and 4T1, respectively). Furthermore, in vivo studies revealed that Gd2O3@PCD-FA-DOX not only exhibited considerably relaxivity performance as a contrast agent for MRI, but also improved in vivo anti-tumour efficacy of the system. The results suggest that Gd2O3@PCD-FA-DOX improves its therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of solid tumours and also reduces the adverse effects, so it could be proposed as a promising drug delivery system for chemotherapy and molecular imaging diagnosis in MRI.

Abstract
Macrophages are components of the innate immune system that control a plethora of biological processes. Macrophages can be activated towards pro-inflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes depending on the cue; however, polarization may be altered in bacterial and viral infections, cancer, or autoimmune diseases. Metal (zinc, iron, titanium, copper, etc.) oxide nanoparticles are widely used in therapeutic applications as drugs, nanocarriers, and diagnostic tools. Macrophages can recognize and engulf nanoparticles, while the influence of macrophage-nanoparticle interaction on cell polarization remains unclear. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms that drive macrophage activation phenotypes and functions upon interaction with nanoparticles in an inflammatory microenvironment. The manifold effects of metal oxide nanoparticles on macrophages depend on the type of metal and the route of synthesis. While largely considered as drug transporters, metal oxide nanoparticles nevertheless have an immunotherapeutic potential, as they can evoke pro- or anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages and become essential for macrophage profiling in cancer, wound healing, infections, and autoimmunity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a well-established medical invention in modern medical technology diagnosis. It is a nondestructive, versatile, and sensitive technique with a high spatial resolution for medical diagnosis. However, MRI has some limitations in differentiating certain tissues, particularly tiny blood vessels, pathological to healthy tissues, specific tumors, and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, and multiple sclerosis. The contrast agent (CA) assisted imaging is the best possible solution to resolve the limitations of MRI. METHOD The literature review was carried out using the keywords, "MRI, T1&T2 relaxation, MRI CAs, delivery and adverse effects, classification of CAs." The tools used for the literature search were PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. RESULT AND DISCUSSION The literature findings focus on MRI technique, limitations, and possible solutions. Primarily, the review focuses on the mechanism of CAs in image formation with detailed explanations of T1 and T2 relaxations, the mechanism of the MRI-CA image formations. This review presents the adverse effects of CA as well as available marketed formulations and recent patents to extent complete information about the MRI-CA. CONCLUSION MRI generates detailed visual information of various tissues with high resolution and contrast. The proton present in the biological fluid plays a crucial role in MR image formation, and it is unable to distinguish pathological conditions in many cases. The CAs are the best solution to resolve the limitation by interacting with native protons. The present review discusses the mechanism of CAs in contrast enhancement and its broad classification with the latest literature. Furthermore, the article presents information about CA biodistribution and adverse effects. The review concludes with an appropriate solution for adverse effects and presents the future prospective for researchers to develop advanced formulations.

Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of the antifouling Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) modified with PEG with improved biocompatibility for MR imaging purposes. In this report, using the solvothermal decomposition of Gadolinium (III) in the presence of Na3cit, monitored by surface modification with PEG and L-Cys. The synthesized nanoparticles were confirmed by the TEM, DLS and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The morphological results show normal distance across of the flawless Gd2O3-PEG-Cys-NPs show 7.9 ± 0.4 nm, discretely, with a thin size exchange. This infers the surface adjustment does not obviously alteration the center size of the Gd2O3-NPs when contrasted with the perfect sodium citrate-balanced out Gd2O3-NPs. The Gd2O3-PEG-L-Cys-NPs are highly stable at room temperature, water dispersible and importantly less cytotoxic at high concentration of the NPs. The T1-weighted MR phantasm readings evidentially displayed that the formed PEG coated Gd2O3-PEG and Gd2O3-PEG-Cys-NPs with and without Cys may be performed as the promising T1-weighted MR imaging. The NPs displays no signs of toxicity against the human blood, which represents the biocompatibility for the human medicine applications. The Gd2O3-PEG-Cys-NPs shows relatively, high r1 acceptable cytocompatibility, target specific cancer cells and activate the dual mode MR imaging of lung metastasis cancer model in vitro. The development of versatile zwitterion functionalized Gd2O3 may be promising as an active nanoparticle probe for improved multi-model of MR imaging agents for various cancer diseases.

Abstract
Gd chelates have occupied most of the market of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for decades. However, there have been some problems (nephrotoxicity, non-specificity, and low r1 ) that limit their applications. Herein, a wet-chemical method is proposed for facile synthesis of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) stabilized exceedingly small gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (ES-GON-PAA) with an excellent water dispersibility and a size smaller than 2.0 nm, which is a powerful T1 -weighted MRI contrast agent for diagnosis of diseases due to its remarkable relaxivities (r1 = 70.2 ± 1.8 mM-1 s-1 , and r2 /r1 = 1.02 ± 0.03, at 1.5 T). The r1 is much higher and the r2 /r1 is lower than that of the commercial Gd chelates and reported gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (GONs). Further ES-GON-PAA is developed with conjugation of RGD2 (RGD dimer) (i.e., ES-GON-PAA@RGD2) for T1 -weighted MRI of tumors that overexpress RGD receptors (i.e., integrin αv β3 ). The maximum signal enhancement (ΔSNR) for T1 -weighted MRI of tumors reaches up to 372 ± 56% at 2 h post-injection of ES-GON-PAA@RGD2, which is much higher than commercial Gd-chelates (<80%). Due to the high biocompatibility and high tumor accumulation, ES-GON-PAA@RGD2 with remarkable relaxivities is a promising and powerful T1 -weighted MRI contrast agent.

Abstract
Integrating anticancer drugs and diagnostic agents in a polymer nanosystem is an emerging and promising strategy for improving cancer treatment. However, the development of multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) for an "all-in-one" platform characterized by specific targeting, therapeutic efficiency, and imaging feedback remains an unmet clinical need. In this study, pH-responsive mixed-lanthanide-based multifunctional NPs were fabricated based on simple metal-ligand interactions for simultaneous cancer cell imaging and drug delivery. We investigated two new systems of alginate-polydopamine complexed with either terbium/europium or dysprosium/erbium oxide NPs (Tb/Eu@AlgPDA or Dy/Er@AlgPDA NPs). Tb/Eu@AlgPDA NPs were then functionalized with the tumor-targeting ligand folic acid (FA) and loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) to form FA-Tb/Eu@AlgPDA-DOX NPs. Using such systems, the mussel-inspired property of PDA was introduced to improve tumor targetability and penetration, in addition to active targeting (via FA-folate receptor interactions). Determining the photoluminescence efficiency showed that the Tb/Eu@AlgPDA system was superior to the Dy/Er@AlgPDA system, presenting intense and sharp emission peaks on the fluorescence spectra. In addition, compared to Dy/Er@AlgPDA NPs (82.4%), Tb/Eu@AlgPDA NPs exhibited negligible cytotoxicity with >93.3% HeLa cell viability found in MTT assays at NP concentrations of up to 0.50 mg/mL and high biocompatibility when incubated with zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos and larvae. The FA-Tb/Eu@AlgPDA-DOX system exhibited a pH-responsive and sustained drug-release pattern. In a spheroid model of HeLa cells, the FA-Tb/Eu@AlgPDA-DOX system showed a better penetration efficiency and spheroid growth-inhibitory effect than free DOX. After incubation with zebrafish embryos, the FA-Tb/Eu@AlgPDA-DOX system also showed improved antitumor efficacies versus the other experimental groups in HeLa tumor cell xenografted zebrafish. Therefore, our results suggested that FA-Tb/Eu@AlgPDA-DOX NPs are promising multifunctional nanocarriers with therapeutic capacity for tumor targeting and penetration.

Abstract
The one-pot synthesis of iron-doped carbon quantum dots (Fe-CQDs) for use as both magnetic resonance (MR) and fluorescent (dual-mode) imaging nanoprobes is described. Comprehensive characterizations of the material confirmed the successful doping of the CQDs with Fe(II) ions. The imaging probe has a longitudinal relaxivity of 3.92 mM-1∙s-1 and a low r2/r1 ratio of 1.27, both of which are critical for T1-weighted contrast agents. The maximum emission of Fe-CQDs locates at 450 nm under 375 nm excitation, which also can be applied to fluorescence imaging. Biotoxicity assessment showed good biocompatibility of the Fe-CQDs. The in-vitro experiments with A549 cells indicated that the Fe-CQDs are viable candidates as dual-mode (MR/fluorescence) imaging nanoprobes. For in-vivo experiments, they exhibit high contrast efficiency, thereby improving the positive contrast in T1-weighted MR images. In-vivo time-dependent MRI of major organs showed that the Fe-CQDs undergo fast glomerular filtration and can evade immuno-absorption due to their ultra-small size and excellent biocompatibility. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the synthesis of Fe-CQDs and applications to magnetic resonance and fluorescent dual-mode imaging.

Abstract
The impact of selective rare-earth (RE) additions in ZrO2-based ceramics on the resultant crystal structure, mechanical, morphological, optical, magnetic, and imaging contrast features for potential applications in biomedicine is explored. Six different RE, namely, Yb3+, Dy3+, Tb3+, Gd3+, Eu3+, and Nd3+ alongside their variations in the dopant concentrations were selected to accomplish a wide range of combinations. The experimental observations affirmed the roles of size and dopant concentration in determining the crystalline phase behavior of ZrO2. The significance of tetragonal ZrO2 (t-ZrO2) → monoclinic ZrO2 degradation is evident with 10 mol % of RE substitution, while RE contents in the range of 20 and 40 mol % ensured either t-ZrO2 or cubic ZrO2 (c-ZrO2) stability until 1500 °C. High RE content in the range of 80-100 mol % still confirmed the structural stability of c-ZrO2 for lower-sized Yb3+, Dy3+, and Tb3+, while the c-ZrO2 → RE2Zr2O7 phase transition becomes evident for higher-sized Gd3+, Eu3+, and Nd3+. A steady decline in the mechanical properties alongside a quenching effect experienced in the emission phenomena is apparent for high RE concentrations in ZrO2. On the one hand, the paramagnetic characteristics of Dy3+, Tb3+, Gd3+, and Nd3+ fetched excellent contrast features from magnetic resonance imaging analysis. On the other hand, Yb3+ and Dy3+ added systems exhibited good X-ray absorption coefficient values determined from computed tomography analysis.

Abstract
Acrylamide-based, thermoresponsive core-shell microgels with a linear phase transition region are used as improved carriers for catalytically active silver nanoparticles in the present study. In this context, we investigated the swelling behavior of the carriers and the stability of the silver nanoparticles inside the polymer network with photon correlation spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and by following the surface plasmon resonance of the nanoparticles. Depending on the cross-linker content of the microgel core, we observed very good stability of the nanoparticles inside the microgel network, with nearly no bleeding or aggregation of the nanoparticles over several weeks for core cross-linker contents of 5 and 10 mol %. The architecture of the hybrid particles in the swollen state was investigated with cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. The particles exhibit a core-shell structure, with the silver nanoparticles located mainly at the interface between the core and shell. This architecture was not used before and seems to grant advanced stability to the nanoparticles inside the network in combination with good switchability of the catalytic activity. This was measured by following the reduction of 4-nitrophenole, which is a well-studied model reaction. The obtained Arrhenius plots show that similar to previous works, the swelling of the core and shell can influence the catalytic activity of the silver nanoparticles. As mentioned before, the cross-linker content of the core seems to be a very important parameter for the switchability of the catalytic activity. A higher cross-linker content of the core seems to be connected to a stronger influence of the carrier swelling degree on the catalytic activity of the silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
There is now the opportunity for nanomaterials to be utilized in bioapplications with low toxicity, good stability and fine dissolvability. Herein, we present a pulsed laser assisted carbon coating method for nanocrystals, and gadolinium carbide/carbon shell (GC/CS) dots with a face-centered cubic structured gadolinium carbide core that have been synthesized in toluene. Good stability of the GC/CS dots was observed, not only in ethanol but also in the immunoconjugates. The MTT assay revealed immunoconjugates with non/low cytotoxicities. As a type of paramagnetic species, the GC/CS dots revealed excellent enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging at a high magnetic field of 14.1 T at ultra-low concentrations. In terms of the relaxivity values of the 1-3 nm GC/CS sample, both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have been dramatically increased to 86.5 mM-1 s-1 and 107.3 mM-1 s-1, respectively, thereby demonstrating the great potential for GC/CS dots to be utilized as advanced magnetic resonance agents for the diagnosis of cancers.

Abstract
Gd2O3 nanoparticles doped with different amount of Yb3+ ions and coated with citrate molecules were prepared by a cheap and fast co-precipitation procedure and proposed as potential “positive” contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. The citrate was used to improve the aqueous suspension, limiting particles precipitation. The relaxometric properties of the samples were studied in aqueous solution as a function of the magnetic field strength in order to evaluate the interaction of the paramagnetic ions exposed on the surface with the water molecules in proximity. The nanoparticles showed high relaxivity values at a high magnetic field with respect to the clinically used Gd3+-chelates and comparable to those of similar nanosytems. Special attention was also addressed to the investigation of the chemical stability of the nanoparticles in biological fluid (reconstructed human serum) and in the presence of a chelating agent.

Abstract
A facile formulation of fast-drying fluorescent ink made from nanostructured fluorescent silica nanocrystals is presented. The rheostable viscous ink suitable for screen printing was developed by careful selection of organic vehicle components, which was later printed onto various rigid and flexible substrates. Photoluminescence studies of the printed film confirmed that the formulated ink composition did not show noticeable influence on the excitation property of the fluorescent silica. The developed cost-effective and fast-curing fluorescent silica ink with desirable luminescent property makes it a suitable candidate for information encryption, optical devices, and energy conversion applications.

Abstract
A simple and efficient method to synthesize highly water-dispersible calcium lignosulfonate-coated manganese oxide nanoparticles as a potential candidate for the current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1 contrast agents was reported. Hydrophobic MnO nanoparticles with dimensions of about 10 nm were prepared by thermal decomposition of manganese(ii)acetylacetonate in the presence of oleic acid as a surfactant. The characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles, cytotoxicity assay and in vitro MRI properties were investigated in detail. Results showed that calcium lignosulfonate has a great influence on the colloidal stability and biocompatibility of MnO nanoparticles in water. Furthermore, this coating agent ensures abundant exposure of external Mn ion with protons of water, which endows the nanoparticles with a longitudinal molar relaxivity (r1) of 4.62 mM−1 s−1. An efficient contrast enhancement effect was observed in the study of MRI investigations. A simple and efficient method to synthesize highly water-dispersible calcium lignosulfonate-coated manganese oxide nanoparticles as a potential candidate for the current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1 contrast agents was reported.![]()

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable neurodegenerative brain disorder that exhibits clear pathologic changes in the hippocampus. Traditional drug delivery systems are ineffective due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In this study, an efficient, stable, and easily constructed nanosystem (CB-Gd-Cy5.5) based on the cholera toxin B subunit (CB) is designed to improve the efficiency of drug delivery to the brain, especially the hippocampus. Through intranasal administration, CB-Gd-Cy5.5 is easily delivered to the brain without intervention by the BBB. The CB in CB-Gd-Cy5.5 is used for specifically combining with the monosialoganglioside GM1, which is widely found in the hippocampus. This nanosystem exhibits impressive performance in accumulating in the hippocampus. In addition, the good magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capability of CB-Gd-Cy5.5 can satisfy the monitoring of AD in the different stages.

Abstract
Titania semiconductors can be activated by external physical triggers to produce electrons (e-) and holes (h+) pairs from the energy-band structure and subsequently induce the generation of reactive oxygen species for killing cancer cells, but the traditional ultraviolet light with potential phototoxicity and low-tissue-penetrating depth as the irradiation source significantly hinders the further in vivo broad biomedical applications. Here, the very-recent development of novel exogenous physical irradiation of titania semiconductors for tumor-specific therapies based on their unique physiochemical properties, including near infrared (NIR)-triggered photothermal hyperthermia and photodynamic therapy, X-ray/Cerenkov radiation-activated deep-seated photodynamic therapy, ultrasound-triggered sonodynamic therapy, and the intriguing synergistic therapeutic paradigms by combined exogenous physical irradiations are in focus. Most of these promising therapeutic modalities are based on the semiconductor nature of titania nanoplatforms, together with their defect modulation for photothermal hyperthermia. The biocompatibility and biosafety of these titania semiconductors are also highlighted for guaranteeing their further clinical translation. Challenges and future developments of titania-based therapeutic nanoplatforms and the corresponding developed therapeutic modalities for potential clinical translation of tumor-specific therapy are also discussed and outlooked.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanotheranostic agents are of particular importance in the field of precise nanomedicine. However, a critical challenge remains in the rational fabrication of monodisperse multicomponent nanoparticles with enhanced multifunctional characteristics for efficient cancer theranostics. Here, a rational and facile synthesis of monodisperse Gd2 O3 /Bi2 S3 hybrid nanodots (Gd/Bi-NDs) is demonstrated as a multifunctional nanotheranostic agent using a albumin nanoreactor for computed tomography (CT)/photoacoustics (PA)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and simultaneous photothermal tumor ablation. Two nanoprecipitation reactions in one albumin nanoreactor are simultaneously conducted to generate ultrasmall Gd/Bi-NDs with both orthorhombic Bi2 S3 and cubic Gd2 O3 nanostructures. Their hybrid nanostructure generates distinctly enhanced longitudinal relaxivity in the spatially confined albumin nanocage as compared to monocomponent Gd2 O3 nanodots. Moreover, such hybrid nanodots possess multiple desirable characteristics including superior photobleaching resistance, efficient cellular uptake, preferable tumor accumulation, good in vivo clearance, and negligible acute toxicity, thereby leading to complementary PA/CT/MR imaging with spatial and anatomic characteristics, as well as effective photothermal tumor ablation without regrowth. These results represent a promising approach to fabricate monodisperse multicomponent nanotheranostic agents for efficient cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (GdO) have recently gained attention due to their diverse bio-applications. However, their functionalization with amino acids has not been reported yet to the best of our knowledge. In the present report, the potential of sonication technique (for the first time to the best of our knowledge) in the fabrication of GdO nanoparticles was explored. Sonication is an efficient technique for the synthesis of evenly dispersing nanoparticles in liquids thus, the present report highlights the use of ultrasonication technique for the fabrication of uniform 2 nm sized luminescent l-lysine coated gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (l-lysine@GdO). Investigation of l-lysine conjugation with nanoparticles was confirmed by FT-IR, Differential Scanning Calorimetric analysis and Zeta potential. The interactions of serum protein (BSA) with synthesized nanoparticles have been explored using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fluorescence spectroscopy and Circular Dichroism (CD). The synthesized l-lysine coated nanoparticles demonstrated potential for antimicrobial and antifungal agents, which has been tested against two bacterial strains Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and two antifungal Candida albicans and Candida glabrata cells. The minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC) of nanoparticles against E.coli and S. aureus are 8 µg mL-1 and 16 µg mL-1, respectively. The cell viability, MTT assay on HaCaT cell lines revealed the non-toxicity of synthesized nanoparticles.

Abstract
Europium-doped gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3:Eu3+) nanoparticles (NPs) with favorable properties for use in fluorescence imaging (FI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dual-modal contrast agent has attracted intense attention in biomedical applications. However, limited information is available on balancing FI and MRI by adjusting doping concentrations. In this study, Gd2O3:Eu3+ NPs with various Eu3+ doping concentrations were prepared by the facile and general technique of laser ablation in liquid (LAL). The influence of Eu3+-doping concentration on fluorescence properties and longitudinal relaxivity were investigated. The optimum Eu3+-doping concentration with both high fluorescence properties and longitudinal relaxivity was determined to be 5%. The characterization of the structure, morphology, and composition shows that these NPs possess good crystallinity and excellent dispersibility. These results show that Gd2O3:Eu3+ NPs prepared by LAL are promising candidates for highly efficient FI and MRI dual-modal contrast agents.

Abstract
Thanks to recent advances in the synthesis of high-quality inorganic nanoparticles, more and more types of nanoparticles are becoming available for medical applications. Especially, metal oxide nanoparticles have drawn much attention due to their unique physicochemical properties and relatively inexpensive production costs. To further promote the development and clinical translation of these nanoparticle-based agents, however, it is highly desirable to reduce unwanted interbatch variations of the nanoparticles because characterizing and refining each batch are costly, take a lot of effort, and, thus, are not productive. Large-scale synthesis is a straightforward and economic pathway to minimize this issue. Here, the recent achievements in the large-scale synthesis of uniform-sized metal oxide nanoparticles and their biomedical applications are summarized, with a focus on nanoparticles of transition metal oxides and lanthanide oxides, and clarifying the underlying mechanism for the synthesis of uniform-sized nanoparticles. Surface modification steps to endow hydrophobic nanoparticles with water dispersibility and biocompatibility are also briefly described. Finally, various medical applications of metal oxide nanoparticles, such as bioimaging, drug delivery, and therapy, are presented.
