Abstract
Current approaches for the treatment of cancer, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and surgery, are limited by various factors, such as inadvertent necrosis of healthy cells, immunological destruction, or secondary cancer development. Hyperthermic therapy is a promising strategy intended to mitigate many of the shortcomings associated with traditional therapeutic approaches. However, to utilize this approach effectively, it must be targeted to specific tumor sites to prevent adverse side effects. In this regard, photothermal therapy, using intravenously-administered nanoparticle materials capable of eliciting hyperthermic effects in combination with the precise application of light in the near-infrared spectrum, has shown promise. Many different materials have been proposed, including various inorganic materials such as Au, Ag, and Germanium, and C-based materials. Unfortunately, these materials are limited by concerns about accumulation and potential cytotoxicity. Polymer-based nanoparticle systems have been investigated to overcome limitations associated with traditional inorganic nanoparticle systems. Some of the materials that have been investigated for this purpose include polypyrrole, poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), polydopamine, and polyaniline. The purpose of this review is to summarize these contemporary polymer-based nanoparticle technologies to acquire an understanding of their current applications and explore the potential for future improvements.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2018; 95:104-113. [PMID: 30573230 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2018.10.066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2017] [Revised: 09/29/2018] [Accepted: 10/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
In the field of modern nanomedicine, ZnO nanoparticles were considered as an emerging candidate for drug delivery because of their inherent biocompatibility and stability. However, the poor dispersibility in a physiological medium obstructed their clinic applications. In this paper, the red fluorescence ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized, using a facile chemical method of polyol in boiling trimethylene glycol (TREG) with zinc acetate. The as-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were first time grafted with PG layer through ring-opening polymerization of glycidol (ZnO-PG). As calculated from the TGA data, the weight ratio of the grafted PG was about 68 wt%. Then, the ZnO-PG engineered to conjugate with arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptide by stepwise organic reactions. Finally, anticancer drugs Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was immobilized on ZnO-PG-RGD (approximately 21.8 ± 0.9 nm) to form ZnO-PG-RGD/DOX. The drug release percentage reaches 70.6% within 48 h under pH 5.2, which was more than 3-fold higher than that pH 7.4. The properties of ZnO nanoparticles and its derivatives were detected by power XRD, TEM, EDS, FTIR, TGA, DLS, Zeta potential and UV. The grafted PG layer not only largely enhanced the dispersibility, but also inhibited ZnO nanoparticles from the uptake by U87MG and Hela cells. In contrast, ZnO-PG-RGD was selectively taken up by U87MG, not Hela cells, demonstrating an obvious targeting property. When ZnO-PG-RGD/DOX was used, U87MG cells showed specificity damaged compared with Hela cells. Thus, functionalized ZnO nanoparticle was a promising nanomaterial in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Although photothermal therapy (PTT) has become a compelling strategy for cancer therapy, few studies concern the physiological consequences of PTT ablation. Herein, we discover that PTT-induced hyperthermia can aggravate tumor hypoxia, which may increase the risk of tumor recurrence and reduce PTT efficacy. We thus integrated the pH/hypoxia-triggered Fe(iii)-banoxantrone (AQ4N) prodrug and semiconducting polymer dots (SPs) for programmable triggered cancer photothermal-chemotherapy. A SP-hybridized mesoporous silica framework, decorated by dopamine and polyethylene glycol, named PPMSF, was synthesized by a simple method, and then served as an efficient photo-absorbing agent (PTA) and drug carrier. Fe(iii)-AQ4N and Mn(ii) were then coordinated with PPMSF (abbreviated Mn-APPMSF) via coordination effects. The nanohybrids exhibited tumor micro-environment pH triggered drug release. Under the irradiation of NIR light, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tracked the accumulation of the nanohybrids in tumors which then destroyed tumor cells by local hyperthermia, this can consequently aggravate the tumor hypoxia levels. Intriguingly, the aggravated hypoxia can further enhance the reduction of AQ4N to significantly improve therapeutic efficacy and effectively inhibit tumor growth when compared with traditional PTT. These results indicate the potential of our nanohybrids as a programmable synergistic agent for cancer therapy.

Magnetic field-inducible drug-eluting nanoparticles for image-guided thermo-chemotherapy. Biomaterials 2018; 180:240-252.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles integrating cancer cell imaging and treatment modalities into a single platform are recognized as a promising approach; however, their development currently remains a challenge. In this study, we synthesized magnetic field-inducible drug-eluting nanoparticles (MIDENs) by embedding superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4; SPIONs) and cancer therapeutic drugs (doxorubicin; DOX) in a temperature-responsive poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanomatrix. Application of an external alternating magnetic field (AMF) generated heat above 42 °C and subsequent transition of the PLGA polymer matrix (Tg = 42-45 °C) from the glassy to the rubbery state, facilitating the controlled release of the loaded DOX, ultimately allowing for simultaneous hyperthermia and local heat-triggered chemotherapy for efficient dual cancer treatment. The average size of the synthesized MIDENs was 172.1 ± 3.20 nm in diameter. In vitro studies showed that the MIDENs were cytocompatible and especially effective in destroying CT26 colon cancer cells with AMF application. In vivo studies revealed that the MIDENs enabled enhanced T2 contrast magnetic resonance imaging and a significant suppression of malignant tumor growth under an AMF. Our multifunctional MIDENs, composed of biocompatible substances and therapeutic/imaging modalities, will be greatly beneficial for cancer image-guided thermo-chemotherapy applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is a kind of therapy based on increasing the temperature of tumoral cells above 42 °C. To this aim, cells must be illuminated with a laser, and the energy of the radiation is transformed in heat. Usually, the employed radiation belongs to the near-infrared radiation range. At this range, the absorption and scattering of the radiation by the body is minimal. Thus, tissues are almost transparent. To improve the efficacy and selectivity of the energy-to-heat transduction, a light-absorbing material, the photothermal agent, must be introduced into the tumor. At present, a vast array of compounds are available as photothermal agents. Among the substances used as photothermal agents, gold-based compounds are one of the most employed. However, the undefined toxicity of this metal hinders their clinical investigations in the long run. Magnetic nanoparticles are a good alternative for use as a photothermal agent in the treatment of tumors. Such nanoparticles, especially those formed by iron oxides, can be used in combination with other substances or used themselves as photothermal agents. The combination of magnetic nanoparticles with other photothermal agents adds more capabilities to the therapeutic system: the nanoparticles can be directed magnetically to the site of interest (the tumor) and their distribution in tumors and other organs can be imaged. When used alone, magnetic nanoparticles present, in theory, an important limitation: their molar absorption coefficient in the near infrared region is low. The controlled clustering of the nanoparticles can solve this drawback. In such conditions, the absorption of the indicated radiation is higher and the conversion of energy in heat is more efficient than in individual nanoparticles. On the other hand, it can be designed as a therapeutic system, in which the heat generated by magnetic nanoparticles after irradiation with infrared light can release a drug attached to the nanoparticles in a controlled manner. This form of targeted drug delivery seems to be a promising tool of chemo-phototherapy. Finally, the heating efficiency of iron oxide nanoparticles can be increased if the infrared radiation is combined with an alternating magnetic field.

Abstract
Engineered magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) have been used in many fields. To prevent particle agglomeration, stabilizers or coatings are often required. While such coatings have been shown to enhance performances, the environmental impact or toxicity of stabilized or coated Fe3O4 NPs remain poorly understood. In an effort to understand the impacts of such coatings on the toxicity of Fe3O4 NPs, we used the transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) technique to characterize the gill and liver transcriptomes from adult zebrafish when exposed to bare and starch-stabilized Fe3O4 NPs for 7days, demonstrating remarkable differences in gene expression profiles, also known as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) profiles, in both tissues. Bare Fe3O4 NPs exerted greater toxicity than starch-coated Fe3O4 NPs in gill; in contrast, starch-Fe3O4 NPs triggered more severe damage on liver, though both bare and stabilized NPs appeared to share similar regulatory mechanisms. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions using six genes each for the two tissues verified the RNA-seq results. The surface coatings play an important role in determining the nanoparticle toxicity, which in turn modulate cell uptake and biological responses, consequently impacting the potential safety and efficacy of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been widely used as theranostic drug-carrier and MRI contrast agent. Their potential effects are still in blank while SPIONs are used for brain. The present study aims to investigate SPIONs' neurotoxicity in vitro and in vivo using stereotaxic technique. By co-incubating SPIONs with dopaminergic neuronal PC12 cells, we found that SPIONs had a dose-dependent cytotoxic in PC12 cells at 60-200 ug/mL but not at 10-50 ug/mL, it reduced cell viability, decreased the capacity of PC12 cells to extend neurites in response to nerve growth factor (NGF), induced a reduction of the tyrosine hydroxylase protein, while increasing PC12 cell apoptosis. Accordingly, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of current SPIONs was 50 ug/mL in vitro, which would be useful for human health risk assessment. While directly injecting the SPIONs into the dorsal striatum or hippocampus, 7 and 14 days after surgery, nanoparticles decreased the TH+ fiber density in both the dorsal striatum and the hippocampus. A behavioral evaluation demonstrated that SPIONs attenuated the animals' motor coordination and spatial memory, as evaluated by the rotarod test and the Morris water maze. We further examined mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and found that c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was activated after SPIONs treatment. It suggests that the SPIONs-induced neurotoxicity might be mediated through the JNK signaling pathway. SPIONs could possibly induce neurotoxic effects on the dorsal striatum and hippocampus.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel one-step solvothermal synthesis of magnetite nanoclusters (MNCs). In this report, we discuss the synthesis, structure, and properties of MNCs and contrast enhancement in T2-weighted MR images using magnetite nanoclusters. The effect of different organic acids, used as surfactants, on the size and shape of MNCs was investigated. The structure and properties of samples were determined by magnetic measurements, TGA, TEM, HRTEM, XRD, FTIR, and MRI. Magnetic measurements show that obtained MNCs have relatively high saturation magnetization values (65.1-81.5 emu/g) and dependence of the coercive force on the average size of MNCs was established. MNCs were transferred into an aqueous medium by Pluronic F-127, and T2-relaxivity values were determined. T2-Weighted MR phantom images clearly demonstrated that such magnetite nanoclusters can be used as contrast agents for MRI.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in the clinic. To improve imaging quality, MRI contrast agents, which can modulate local T1 and T2 relaxation times, are often injected prior to or during MRI scans. However, clinically used contrast agents, including Gd3+-based chelates and iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), afford mediocre contrast abilities. To address this issue, there has been extensive research on developing alternative MRI contrast agents with superior r1 and r2 relaxivities. These efforts are facilitated by the fast progress in nanotechnology, which allows for preparation of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with varied size, shape, crystallinity, and composition. Studies suggest that surface coatings can also largely affect T1 and T2 relaxations and can be tailored in favor of a high r1 or r2. However, the surface impact of NPs has been less emphasized. Herein, we review recent progress on developing NP-based T1 and T2 contrast agents, with a focus on the surface impact.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. Although a decrease in its incidence is observed, gastric cancer still poses a major clinical challenge due to poor prognosis and limited treatments. Barbaloin (BBL) is a main medicinal composition of the Chinese traditional medicine aloe vera. BBL has various bioactivities, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. Polydopamine (pD)-based surface modification is easy to functionalize polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) surfaces with ligands and/or additional polymeric layers. In the present study, BBL-loaded formulations was developed with pD-modified NPs, which was synthesized by polylactide-TPGS (PLA-TPGS) (pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs). And galactosamine (Gal) was conjugated on the prepared NPs (Gal-pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs) for targeting the gastric cancer cells. Here, we found that BBL-loaded Gal-pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs showed the highest cellular uptake efficacy in gastric cancer cells. Gal-pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs more significantly reduced the gastric cancer cell viability. Further, greater apoptosis, autophagy and ROS generation was induced by Gal-pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs in gastric cancer cells. Additionally, compared to the other two NPs, Gal-pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs most markedly decreased ATP levels in gastric cancer cells. In vivo, Gal-pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs were specifically targeted to tumor site. Moreover, Gal-pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs exhibited the most anti-tumor effects, as evidenced by the lowest tumor volume and tumor weight. Of note, there was no significant difference was observed in body and liver weight, as well as the histological changes in major organs isolated from each group of mice. Together, the findings indicated that BBL-loaded Gal-pD-PLA-TPGS/NPs could be targeted to gastric cancer cells to suppress tumor progression without toxicity.

Abstract
Since Lee published a pioneering paper about polydopamine (PDA), application of that polymer in a number of areas has grown enormously in the last 10 years and is still growing. PDA's spectacular success can be attributed to its unique features, i.e., simple preparation protocol, strong adhesive properties, easy and straightforward functionalization, and biocompatibility. Therefore, this polymer has attracted the attention of a vast group of scientists, including those working in the field of nanomedicine. In consequence, polydopamine has been merged with various nanostructures that differ in size and nature, which has resulted in novel types of multifunctional nanomaterials that have recently been extensively exploited in nanomedicine and particularly in cancer therapy. The aim of this article is to offer insight into the latest achievements (up until the end of 2016) in the field of synthesis and application of nanomaterials based on polydopamine and their application in cancer therapy. The conclusions regarding the application of polydopamine-based nanoplatforms in this area and future prospects are given at the end.

Abstract
Manganese-based nanomaterials are an emerging new class of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) that provide impressive contrast abilities. MRI CAs that can respond to pathophysiological parameters such as pH or redox potential are also highly in demand for MRI-guided tumor diagnosis. Until now, synthesizing nanomaterials with good biocompatibility, physiochemical stability, and good contrast effects remains a challenge. This study investigated two new systems of calcium/manganese cations complexed with either alginate-polydopamine or alginate-dopamine nanogels [AlgPDA(Ca/Mn) NG or AlgDA(Ca/Mn) NG]. Under such systems, Ca cations form ionic interactions via carboxylic acids of the Alg backbone to enhance the stability of the synthetic nanogels (NGs). Likewise, complexation of Mn cations also increased the colloidal stability of the synthetic NGs. The magnetic property of the prepared CAs was confirmed with superconducting quantum interference device measurements, proving the potential paramagnetic property. Hence, the T1 relaxivity measurement showed that PDA-complexed synthetic NGs reveal a strong positive contrast enhancement with r1 = 12.54 mM-1·s-1 in 7.0 T MRI images, whereas DA-complexed synthetic NGs showed a relatively lower T1 relaxivity effect with r1 = 10.13 mM-1·s-1. In addition, both the synthetic NGs exhibit negligible cytotoxicity with >92% cell viability up to 0.25 mM concentration, when incubated with the mouse macrophage (RAW 264.7) and HeLa cells, and high biocompatibility under in vivo analysis. The in vivo MRI test indicates that the synthetic NG exhibits a high signal-to-noise ratio for longer hours, which provides a longer image acquisition time for tumor and anatomical imaging. Furthermore, T1-weighted MRI results revealed that PEGylated AlgPDA(Ca/Mn) NGs significantly enhanced the signals from liver and tumor tissues. Therefore, owing to the enhanced permeability and retention effect, significantly enhanced in vitro and in vivo imagings, low cost, and one-pot synthesis method, the Mn-based biomimetic approach used in this study provides a promising and competitive alternative for noninvasive tumor detection and comprehensive anatomical diagnosis.

Abstract
To tackle severe environmental pollution, a search for materials by economical and eco-friendly preparations is demanding for public health. In this study, a novel in situ method to form silver nanoparticles under mild conditions was developed using biomimetic reducing agents of polydopamine coated on the rodlike mesoporous silica of SBA-15. The synthesized SBA-15/polydopamine (PDA)/Ag nanocomposites were characterized by a combination of physicochemical and electrochemical methods. 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) and methylene blue (MB) were used as models for the evaluation of the prepared nanocatalysts of SBA-15/PDA/Ag in which the composite exhibited enhanced catalytic performance toward degrading 4-NP in solution and MB on the membrane, respectively. Additionally, compared with that of solid core-shell SiO2/PDA/Ag, tubular SBA-15/PDA/Ag showed the prolonged inhibitory effect on microbial growth as typified by Escherichia coli (60 h), Staphylococcus aureus (36 h), and Aspergillus fumigatus (60 h), which demonstrated efficient control of silver nanoparticles release from the mesopores. The constructed dual-functional SBA-15/PDA/Ag as the long-term antimicrobial agent and the catalyst of industrial products provides an integrated nanoplatform to deal with environmental concerns.

Abstract
The metabolic activity of tumor cells is known to be higher as compared to that of normal cells, which has been previously exploited to deliver nanomedicines to highly metabolic tumor cells. Unfortunately, current strategies, which are mostly based on complex energy sources, such as sugars, showed insufficient accumulation at the target sites. We here report the coating of IONPs with two essential units of cellular metabolism: adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). ATP and NADPH were directly bound to the IONPs' surface using a simple aqueous method. Both molecules were used as coatings, i.e. as stabilizing agents, but also simultaneously as targeting molecules to deliver IONPs to highly metabolic tumor cells. Indeed, we found that the uptake of ATP-IONPs and NADPH-IONPs is correlated with the metabolic activity of tumor cells, especially regarding their cellular ATP levels and NADPH consumption. We also measured one of the highest MRI r2 relaxivities for both ATP-IONPs and NADPH-IONPs. With the direct coating of IONPs with ATP and NADPH, we therefore provide an optimal platform to stabilize IONPs and at the same time promising properties for the targeting and detection of highly metabolic tumor cells.

Abstract
In recent years, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have demonstrated marked progress in the field of oncology. General nanoparticles are widely used in tumor targeting, and the intrinsic magnetic property of MNPs makes them the most promising nanomaterial to be used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and induced magnetic hyperthermia. The properties of MNPs are fully exploited when they are used as drug delivery agents, wherein drugs may be targeted to the desired specific location in vivo by application of an external magnetic field. Early diagnosis of cancer may be achieved by MRI, therefore, individualized treatment may be combined with MRI, so as to achieve the precise definition and appropriate treatment. In the present review, research on MNPs in cancer diagnosis, drug delivery and treatment has been summarized. Furthermore, the future perspectives and challenges of MNPs in the field of oncology are also discussed.

Abstract
The design and development of multifunctional nanoplatforms for biomedical applications still remains to be challenging. This review reports the recent advances in aqueous-phase synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and their composites for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer. Water dispersible and colloidally stable Fe3O4 NPs synthesized via controlled coprecipitation route, hydrothermal route and mild reduction route are introduced. Some of key strategies to improve the r2 relaxivity of Fe3O4 NPs and to enhance their uptake by cancer cells are discussed in detail. These aqueous-phase synthetic methods can also be applied to prepare Fe3O4 NP-based composites for dual-mode molecular imaging applications. More interestingly, aqueous-phase synthesized Fe3O4 NPs are able to be fabricated as multifunctional theranostic agents for multi-mode imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer. This review will provide some meaningful information for the design and development of various Fe3O4 NP-based multifunctional nanoplatforms for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced photothermal therapy (PTT) uses a photothermal agent to convert optical energy into thermal energy and has great potential as an effective local, minimally invasive treatment modality for killing cancer cells. To improve the efficacy of PTT, we developed poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulating superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4), indocyanine green (ICG), and perfluoropentane (PFP) as synergistic agents for NIR laser-induced PTT. We fabricated a novel type of phase-shifting fluorescent magnetic NPs, Fe3O4/ICG@PLGA/PFP NPs, that effectively produce heat in response to NIR laser irradiation for an enhanced thermal ablation effect and a phase-shift thermoelastic expansion effect, and thus, can be used as a photothermal agent. After in vitro treatment of MCF-7 breast cancer cells with Fe3O4/ICG@PLGA/PFP NPs and NIR laser irradiation, histology and electron microscopy confirmed severe damage to the cells and the formation of many microbubbles with iron particles at the edge or outside of the microbubbles. In vivo experiments in mice with MCF-7 tumors demonstrated that Fe3O4/ICG@PLGA/PFP NPs could achieve tumor ablation upon NIR laser irradiation with minimal toxicity to non-irradiated tissues. Together, our results indicate that Fe3O4/ICG@PLGA/PFP NPs can be used as effective nanotheranostic agents for tumor ablation.

Abstract
Heptamethine cyanine dyes are categorized as a class of near infrared fluorescent (NIRF) dyes which have been discovered to have tumor targeting and accumulation capability. This unique feature of NIRF dye makes it a promising candidate for imaging, targeted therapy and also as a drug delivery vehicle for various types of cancers. The favored uptake of dyes only in cancer cells is facilitated by several factors which include organic anion-transporting polypeptides, high mitochondrial membrane potential and tumor hypoxia in cancer cells. Currently nanotechnology has opened possibilities for multimodal or multifunctional strategies for cancer treatment. Including heptamethine cyanine dyes in nanoparticle based delivery systems have generally improved its theranostic ability by several fold owing to the multiple functionalities and structural features of heptamethine dyes. For this reason, nanocomplexes with NIRF heptamethine cyanine dye probe are preferred over non-targeting dyes such as indo cyanine green (ICG). This review sums up current trends and progress in NIRF heptamethine cyanine dye, including dye properties, multifunctional imaging and therapeutic applications in cancer.

Abstract
The safe application of nanotechnology devices in biomedicine requires fundamental understanding on how they interact with and affect the different components of biological systems. In this respect, the cellular membrane, the cell envelope, certainly represents an important target or barrier for nanosystems. Here we report on the interaction between functionalized SuperParamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs), promising contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and lipid bilayers that mimic the plasma membrane. Neutron Reflectometry, supported by Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) experiments, was used to characterize this interaction by varying both SPION coating and lipid bilayer composition. In particular, the interaction of two different SPIONs, functionalized with a cationic surfactant and a zwitterionic phospholipid, and lipid bilayers, containing different amount of cholesterol, were compared. The obtained results were further validated by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurements and Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscopy (Cryo-TEM) images. None of the investigated functionalized SPIONs were found to disrupt the lipid membrane. However, in all case we observed the attachment of the functionalized SPIONs onto the surface of the bilayers, which was affected by the bilayer rigidity, i.e. the cholesterol concentration.

Abstract
Uniform wüstite Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers have been successfully developed as an innovative theranostic agent with T1 -T2 dual-mode magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for diagnostic applications and therapeutic interventions via magnetic hyperthermia. Unlike their antiferromagnetic bulk counterpart, the obtained Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers show unique room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior, probably due to the presence of an exchange coupling effect. Combined with the flower-like morphology, ferromagnetic Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers are demonstrated to possess dual-modal MRI sensitivity, with longitudinal relaxivity r1 and transverse relaxivity r2 as high as 4.9 and 61.2 mm(-1) s(-1) [Fe]+[Mn], respectively. Further in vivo MRI carried out on the mouse orthotopic glioma model revealed gliomas are clearly delineated in both T1 - and T2 -weighted MR images, after administration of the Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers. In addition, the Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers also exhibit excellent magnetic induction heating effects. Both in vitro and in vivo magnetic hyperthermia experimentation has demonstrated that magnetic hyperthermia by using the innovative Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers can induce MCF-7 breast cancer cell apoptosis and a complete tumor regression without appreciable side effects. The results have demonstrated that the innovative Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers can be a new magnetic theranostic platform for in vivo T1 -T2 dual-mode MRI and magnetic thermotherapy, thereby achieving a one-stop diagnosis cum effective therapeutic modality in cancer management.

Abstract
In the present work composite nanoparticles with a magnetic core and a chitosan-based shell were produced as drug delivery systems for doxorubicin (DOX). The results show that composite nanoparticles with a hydrodynamic diameter within the nanometric range are able to encapsulate more DOX than polymeric nanoparticles alone corresponding also to a higher drug release. Moreover the synthesis method of the iron oxide nanoparticles influences the total amount of DOX released and a high content of iron oxide nanoparticles inhibits DOX release. The modelling of the experimental results revealed a release mechanism dominated by Fickian diffusion.

Abstract
Tracking and monitoring of cells in vivo after transplantation can provide crucial information for stem cell therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with contrast agents is believed to be an effective and non-invasive technique for cell tracking in living bodies. However, commercial superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) applied to label cells suffer from shortages such as potential toxicity, low labeling efficiency, and low contrast enhancing. Herein, the adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were efficiently labeled with SPIONs coated with poly (dopamine) (SPIONs cluster@PDA), without affecting their viability, proliferation, apoptosis, surface marker expression, as well as their self-renew ability and multi-differentiation potential. The labeled cells transplanted into the mice through tail intravenous injection exhibited a negative enhancement of the MRI signal in the damaged liver-induced by carbon tetrachloride, and subsequently these homed ADSCs with SPIONs cluster@PDA labeling exhibited excellent repair effects to the damaged liver. Moreover, the enhanced target-homing to tissue of interest and repair effects of SPIONs cluster@PDA-labeled ADSCs could be achieved by use of external magnetic field in the excisional skin wound mice model. Therefore, we provide a facile, safe, noninvasive and sensitive method for external magnetic field targeted delivery and MRI based tracking of transplanted cells in vivo.

Abstract
Recently superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been extensively used in cancer therapy and diagnosis (theranostics) via magnetic targeting, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. due to their remarkable magnetic properties, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. However, the magnetic properties of SPIONs are influenced by various physicochemical and synthesis parameters. So, this review mainly focuses on the influence of spin canting effects, introduced by the variations in size, shape, and organic/inorganic surface coatings, on the magnetic properties of SPIONs. This review also describes the several predominant chemical synthesis procedures and role of the synthesis parameters for monitoring the size, shape, crystallinity and composition of the SPIONs. Moreover, this review discusses about the latest developments of the inorganic materials and organic polymers for encapsulation of the SPIONs. Finally, the most recent advancements of the SPIONs and their nanopackages in combination with other imaging/therapeutic agents have been comprehensively discussed for their effective usage as in vitro and in vivo theranostic agents in cancer treatments.

Abstract
Despite the variety of approaches that have been improved to achieve a good understanding of pancreatic cancer (PC), the prognosis of PC remains poor, and the survival rates are dismal. The lack of early detection and effective interventions is the main reason. Therefore, considerable ongoing efforts aimed at identifying early PC are currently being pursued using a variety of methods. In recent years, the development of molecular imaging has made the specific targeting of PC in the early stage possible. Molecular imaging seeks to directly visualize, characterize, and measure biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels. Among different imaging technologies, the magnetic resonance (MR) molecular imaging has potential in this regard because it facilitates noninvasive, target-specific imaging of PC. This topic is reviewed in terms of the contrast agents for MR molecular imaging, the biomarkers related to PC, targeted molecular probes for MRI, and the application of MRI in the diagnosis of PC.

Abstract
We present the polyethyleneimine (PEI)-assisted synthesis of folic acid (FA)-functionalized iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) with ultrahigh relaxivity for in vivo targeted tumor magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In this work, water-dispersible and stable Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized in the presence of PEI via a facile mild reduction approach. The surface PEI coating afforded the formed Fe3O4 NPs with the ability to be functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG)-linked FA and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FI). A further acetylation step to neutralize the remaining PEI surface amines gave rise to the formation of multifunctional FA-functionalized Fe3O4 NPs, which were subsequently characterized via different methods. We show that the developed FA-functionalized Fe3O4 NPs have a good water-dispersibility, good colloidal stability, ultrahigh r2 relaxivity (475.92 mM-1 s-1), and good hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility in the studied concentration range. The targeting specificity of the FA-modified Fe3O4 NPs to FA receptor (FAR)-overexpressing HeLa cells (a human cervical carcinoma cell line) was subsequently validated by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Significantly, the developed FA-modified Fe3O4 NPs can be used as a nanoprobe for targeted MR imaging of HeLa cells in vitro and the xenografted tumor model in vivo via an active FA-mediated targeting strategy. The developed multifunctional FA-modified Fe3O4 NPs with an ultrahigh r2 relaxivity may be used as an efficient nanoprobe for the targeted MR imaging of various kinds of FAR-overexpressing tumors.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), using a combination of chemical photosensitizers (PS) and light, has been successfully applied as a noninvasive therapeutic procedure to treat tumors by inducing apoptosis or necrosis of cancer cells. However, most current clinically used PS have suffered from the instability in physiological conditions which lead to low photodynamic therapy efficacy. Herein, a highly biocompatible poly(dopamine) (PDA) nanoparticle conjugated with Chlorin e6 (referenced as the PDA-Ce6 nanosphere) was designed as a nanotherapeutic agent to achieve simultaneous photodynamic/photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT). Compared to the free Ce6, the PDA-Ce6 nanosphere exhibited significantly higher PDT efficacy against tumor cells, because of the enhanced cellular uptake and subsequently greater reactive oxygen species (ROS) production upon laser irradiation at 670 nm. Meanwhile, the PDA-Ce6 nanosphere could be also used as a photoabsorbing agent for PTT, because of the excellent photothermal conversion ability of PDA nanoparticle under laser irradiation at 808 nm. Moreover, our prepared nanosphere had extremely low dark toxicity, while excellent phototoxicity under the combination laser irradiation of 670 and 808 nm, both in vitro and in vivo, compared to any single laser irradiation alone. Therefore, our prepared PDA-Ce6 nanosphere could be applied as a very promising dual-modal phototherapeutic agent for enhanced cancer therapy in future clinical applications.
