Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for 8.8 million deaths in 2015. The landscape of cancer therapeutics is rapidly advancing with development of new and sophisticated approaches to diagnostic testing. Treatment plan for early diagnosed patients include radiation therapy, tumor ablation, surgery, immunotherapy and chemotherapy. However the treatment can only be initiated when the cancer has been diagnosed thoroughly. Theranostics is a term that combines diagnostics with therapeutics. It embraces multiple techniques to arrive at comprehensive diagnosis, molecular images and an individualized treatment regimen. Recently, there is an effort to tangle the emerging approach with nanotechnologies, in an attempt to develop theranostic nanoplatforms and methodologies. Theranostic approach to management of cancer offers numerous advantages. They are designed to monitor cancer treatment in real time. A wide variety of theranostic nanoplatforms that are based on diverse nanostructures like magnetic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, gold nanomaterials, polymeric nanoparticles and silica nanoparticles showed great potential as cancer theranostics. Nano therapeutic platforms have been successful in integrating image guidance with targeted approach to treat cancer.

Abstract
The use of photo-based nanomedicine in imaging and therapy has grown rapidly. The property of light in converting its energy into different forms has been exploited in the fields of optical imaging (OI) and phototherapy (PT) for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The development of nanotechnology offers numerous advantages to overcome the challenges of OI and PT. Accordingly, in this review, we shed light on common photosensitive agents (PSAs) used in OI and PT; these include fluorescent and bioluminescent PSAs for OI or PT agents for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). We also describe photo-based nanotechnology systems that can be used in photo-based diagnostics and therapies by using various polymeric systems.

Abstract
Due to the lack of effective therapeutic targets and the passive delivery of a limited quantity of nanoparticles to the tumors, the photothermal conversion agents used in photothermal therapy (PTT) have not been effective in treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). As a result, there is a need to improve the tumor-targeting ability of these photothermal conversion agents. To address this, a microwave-triggered heat shock protein (HSP)-targeted gold nano-system (cmHSP-AuNC), with a gold nanocage (AuNC) as a photothermal conversion agent and anti-HSP monoclonal antibody (cmHSP) as a targeting ligand, was fabricated. cmHSP-AuNC was characterized based on morphology, particle size, zeta potentials, absorption spectrum, and photothermal conversion ability. The expression of HSP70 in 4T1 cells after microwave irradiation was verified by western blotting, and the optimal treatment conditions to achieve the highest expression were determined. Both in vitro and in vivo results indicated that the induction through microwave irradiation could effectively activate the HSP70 overexpression in TNBC, thereby significantly improving the targeting ability, tumor accumulation and anti-tumor efficacy of cmHSP-AuNC. This study proposes a promising strategy for improving the targeting ability and therapeutic efficacy of PTT.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is extensively employed for cancer treatment owing to its unique advantages over conventional drugs and imaging agents. This increased attention to nanomedicine, however, has not fully translated into clinical utilization and patient benefits due to issues associated with reticuloendothelial system clearance, tumor heterogeneity, and complexity of the tumor microenvironment. To address these challenges, efforts are being made to modify the design of nanomedicines, including optimization of their physiochemical properties, active targeting, and response to stimuli, but these studies are often performed independently. Combining favorable nanomedicine designs from individual studies may improve therapeutic outcomes, but, this is difficult to achieve as the effects of different designs are interconnected and often conflicting. Glycol chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) are shown to accumulate in tumors, suggesting that this type of nanoparticle may constitute a good basis for the additional modification of nanoparticles. Here, multifunctional glycol CNPs designed to overcome multiple obstacles to their use are described and key factors influencing in vivo targeted delivery, targeting strategies, and interesting stimulus-responsive designs for improving cancer nanomedicine are discussed.

Shifting the absorption to the near-infrared region and inducing a strong photothermal effect by encapsulating zinc(II) phthalocyanine in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-hyaluronic acid nanoparticles. Acta Biomater 2020; 116:329-343.

Abstract
By using an oil-in-water single emulsion method, a series of multifunctional hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared which consisted of a core of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) with a lipoid shell of n-hexadecylamine-substituted hyaluronic acid (HA), encapsulating a zinc(II) phthalocyanine-based photosensitizer (ZnPc). As determined by laser light scattering, these hybrid NPs labeled as ZnPc@PLGA-HA NPs possessed a hydrodynamic diameter of 280 nm and a surface charge of -30 mV, showing high stability in serum. The Q-band absorption of ZnPc exhibited a large red-shift from 674 nm for free ZnPc in dimethylsulfoxide to 832 nm for this nanosystem in water. Upon light irradiation at 808 nm, the encapsulated ZnPc induced a strong photothermal effect instead of photodynamic action, which is usually observed for ZnPc-containing NPs. The tumor-targeting effect of these NPs due to the HA coating was investigated against the human colorectal adenocarcinoma HT29 cells and human lung carcinoma A549 cells, both of which overexpress cluster determinant 44 (CD44) receptors, using the CD44-negative human normal hepatic LO2 cells as a negative control. The photothermal cell-killing effect of these NPs was significantly higher for the two CD44-positive cell lines than that for the negative control. Their in vivo photothermal efficacy was also examined on HT29 tumor-bearing nude mice. Upon irradiation, the NPs caused significant temperature increase at the tumor site and ablation of the tumor. The results showed that these multifunctional NPs could serve as an effective photothermal agent for targeted photothermal therapy. Statement of significance Phthalocyanines are well-known photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy. By encapsulating these molecules into various nanoplatforms, a range of multifunctional photosensitizing systems have been developed for cancer therapy. In this study, we have demonstrated that by careful selection of phthalocyanines and the nanocarriers, as well as the self-assembly and encapsulation methods, the encapsulated phthalocyanine molecules could switch the photoinduced action from photodynamic therapy to photothermal therapy as a result of the enhanced aggregation of the macrocyclic molecules in the nanoparticles. The unique packing of the molecules also resulted in a large red-shift of the Q-band absorption to 832 nm, facilitating the in vitro and in vivo photothermal treatment.

Abstract
The plasmonic photothermal properties of gold nanoparticles have been widely explored in the biomedical field to mediate a photothermal effect in response to the irradiation with an external light source. Particularly, in cancer therapy, the physicochemical properties of gold-based nanomaterials allow them to efficiently accumulate in the tumor tissue and then mediate the light-triggered thermal destruction of cancer cells with high spatial-temporal control. Nevertheless, the gold nanomaterials can be produced with different shapes, sizes, and organizations such as nanospheres, nanorods, nanocages, nanoshells, and nanoclusters. These gold nanostructures will present different plasmonic photothermal properties that can impact cancer thermal ablation. This review analyses the application of gold-based nanomaterials in cancer photothermal therapy, emphasizing the main parameters that affect its light-to-heat conversion efficiency and consequently the photothermal potential. The different shapes/organizations (clusters, shells, rods, stars, cages) of gold nanomaterials and the parameters that can be fine-tuned to improve the photothermal capacity are presented. Moreover, the gold nanostructures combination with other materials (e.g. silica, graphene, and iron oxide) or small molecules (e.g. indocyanine green and IR780) to improve the nanomaterials photothermal capacity is also overviewed.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has a remarkable impact on the preclinical development of future medicines. However, the complicated preparation and systemic toxicity to living systems prevent them from translation to clinical applications. In the present report, we developed a polyepicatechin-based on/off switchable ultra-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visible theranostic nanoparticle (PEMN) for image-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) using our strategy of integrating polymerization and biomineralization into the protein template. We have exploited natural polyphenols as the near infra-red (NIR) switchable photothermal source and MnO2 for the MRI-guided theranostics. PEMN demonstrates excellent MRI contrast ability with a longitudinal relaxivity value up to 30.01 mM-1 s-1. PEMN has shown great tumor inhibition on orthotopic breast tumors and the treatment could be made switchable with an on/off interchangeable mode as needed. PEMN was found to be excretable mainly through the kidneys, avoiding potential systemic toxicity. Thus, PEMN could be extremely useful for developing on-demand therapeutics via'see it and treat it' means with distinguished MRI capability and on/off switchable photothermal properties.

Abstract
Photothermal sterilization is a promising and effective treatment method in treating bacterial infection. Generally, a widely employed light source in photothermal sterilization inevitably damages the skin tissue due to the high-intensity irradiation dose. How to provide useful antibacterial outcomes without light-triggered skin damage is a challenge for photothermal sterilization. In this work, a novel antibacterial hydrogel (VAT hydrogel, the abbreviation for vancomycin-agarose-ferric tannate hydrogel) has been successfully constructed by the natural polysaccharide hydrogel (AG) encapsulating ferric tannate (TA-Fe) nanoparticles and vancomycin. The VAT hydrogel exhibited the outstanding photothermal properties and controllable antibiotics release. With the results of antibacterial assays, the VAT hydrogel revealed the superior effectiveness of synergistic wound disinfection by the low-intensity near-infrared light-triggered spatiotemporal antibiotics release and hyperthermia. More importantly, the VAT hydrogels possessed the good biocompatibility. With the outstanding synergistic sterilizing effect and excellent biocompatibility, the VAT hydrogel would be a promising candidate for bacteria-associated wound infections.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional nanoplatform with combination of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive dual T1/T2 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and synergistically self-enhanced photothermal/photodynamic/chemo-therapy is of significant importance for tumor theranostic, which still remains a great challenge. Herein, a novel hollow mesoporous double-shell Co9S8@MnO2 nanoplatform loaded with photodynamic agent of indocyanine green molecules (ICG) and chemotherapy drug of doxorubicin (DOX) was designed for TME responsive dual T1/T2 enhanced MR imaging and synergistically enhanced anti-tumor therapy. The designed nanoplatform with MnO2 shell can act as a TME-responsive oxygen self-supplied producer to alleviate tumor hypoxia and simultaneously improve photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency. Moreover, the TME-induced MnO2 dissolving and near-infrared (NIR) triggered photothermal nature from Co9S8 shell can further promote the tumor-targeted DOX release, leading to the synergistically improved anti-tumor efficacy. And the simultaneous enhancement in dual T1/T2 MR signal was achieved for highly specific tumor diagnosis. The in vivo and in vitro results confirmed that the designed TME-triggered nanoplatform with synergistic combination therapy presented good biocompatibility, and superior inhibition of tumor growth than monotherapy. This study provides the opportunities of designing intelligent TME-activated nanoplatform for highly specific tumor MR imaging and collaborative self-enhanced tumor therapy.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has established a novel route for treating solid cancers. Low-intensity ultrasound irradiation accompanied by a sonosensitizer has revealed remarkable advantages for cancer therapy such as targeted uptake, access to deeper tumors, insignificant side effects and invasiveness, compared with other therapeutic methods. In this study, we scrutinized synthesis and characterization of a polypyrrole-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes composite (PPy@MWCNTs). PPy@MWCNTs can absorb ultrasound irradiation by both of its components, and it was introduced as a new sonosensitizer. The composite was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and its ability to temperature elevation was explored. FESEM images revealed that PPy@MWCNTs comprised nanotubes of 36.3 ± 5.1 nm in diameter with up to several micrometer in length. Ultrasound irradiation at 1 MHz and 1.0 W cm-2 for 60 s in four steps led to an efficient SDT in vitro (16.3 ± 2.8°C temperature increment for 250 μg mL-1 of PPy@MWCNTs), in C540 (B16/F10) cell line and a melanoma tumor model in male balb/c mice. In vitro examinations revealed that PPy@MWCNTs represented a concentration-dependent cytotoxicity on multi-step ultrasound irradiation (a cell viability of 8.9% for 250 μg mL-1 of PPy@MWCNTs). Histologic analyses and tumor volume decrement after 10 d revealed detrimental SDT effects of PPy@MWCNTs on tumors (75% necrosis and 50% decrement in tumor volume). Thermal effects and reactive oxygen species generation were the reasons of the working function of PPy@MWCNTs in SDT.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-mediated phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is an effective anticancer intervention that relies on light activation of photoactive nanomaterials localized in tumors. Recently, combinational PDT/PTT offered a practical pathway to relieve resistance of monotherapy, surmount undesirable side effects and provide a synergistic effect to enhance phototherapeutic efficiency. Herein, we report a facile strategy to integrate protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) into nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) and control their photoactive properties for combinational cancer PDT and PTT. With optimized PpIX conjugation, the as-fabricated nanoparticles (nPCU NPs) exhibit (1) improved dispersibility and particle stability, (2) simultaneous generation of reactive oxygen species and heat effectively through activation by a single-wavelength laser of 635 nm, and (3) maintenance of porosity for further application as drug delivery vehicles. Moreover, in vitro investigation of nPCU NPs demonstrates effective cellular uptake, successful endosomal escape and enhanced phototherapeutic efficacy under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Therefore, this study developed a novel type of phototherapeutic nanoplatform with optimal properties for applicable cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) have gained growing attention in biomedical applications. However, the preparation of SPNs is usually limited to nanoprecipitation in the presence of amphiphilic copolymers, which encounters the issue of dissociation. As an alternative to SPNs, grafted semiconducting polymer amphiphiles (SPAs) composed of a semiconducting polymer (SP) backbone and hydrophilic side chains show increased physiological stability and improved optical properties. This review summarizes recent advances in SPAs for cancer imaging and combination phototherapy. The applications of SPAs in optical imaging including fluorescence, photoacoustic, multimodal and activatable imaging are first described, followed by the discussion of applications in imaging-guided phototherapy and combination therapy, light-triggered drug delivery and gene regulation. At last, the conclusion and future prospects in this field are discussed.

Abstract
It remains a great challenge to integrate effective photothermal therapeutic materials with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into one structure with small size. Herein, a new and simple method was developed to combine the luminescent UCNPs with vanadium disulfide (VS2) heterogeneously growing on the UCNPs. VS2 was grown directly on the surface of UCNPs to obtain oil-soluble nanocomposites, UCNPs@VS2. Then polyethylene glycol (mPEG) was functionalized on the surface of the nanocomposites to improve the water solubility, resulting in the integrated nanostructure UCNPs@VS2-mPEG (with an approximate size of 25 nm) for bioimaging and photothermal therapy in vitro. Importantly, cytotoxicity test results show that the final nanostructure has good biocompatibility. Furthermore, due to the excellent photothermal effects of VS2 and the unique imaging function of UCNPs, the nanostructure shows effective photothermal therapy for HeLa cells and was successfully applied in magnetic resonance imaging and upconversion luminescence imaging in vitro. Therefore, this study demonstrates a simple yet powerful method of growing VS2 on the surface of UCNPs, which provides an effective method to establish one integrated nanostructure with a nanoscale advantage for dual-model bioimaging and treatment.

Abstract
We herein explored a smart Fe-HPPy@Au/DOX theranostic agent for CT diagnosis and PTT/chemotherapy/CDT synergistic treatment of cancer. When the Fe-HPPy@Au/DOX theranostic agent entered the tumor, the tumor environment accelerated the trapped Fe ions release to catalyze the production of ˙OH for CDT. NIR irradiation drove the PTT, and at the same time improved the CDT by increasing the production of ˙OH and triggered DOX release for chemotherapy. In addition, the Au nanoparticles on the surface of Fe-HPPy@Au nanocomposites could be used as a CT imaging agent and catalyzer to produce H2O2 for enhanced CDT.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy possesses great advantages for the treatment of drug-resistant tumors. Herein, Near Infrared (NIR)-triggered photothermal nanoparticles were developed through loading indocyanine green (ICG), a kind of NIR dye, into amino group-modified silica nanoparticles (SiO2-NH2 NPs). SiO2-NH2 NPs were prepared with immobilization of the amino groups into the framework of silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) by employing (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES). Before and after the modification of the amino group, the particle sizes of SiO2 NPs showed similar value, around 100 nm. ICG was further adsorbed into SiO2-NH2 NPs by electrostatic attraction to enable SiO2-NH2@ICG NPs as a kind of photothermal agent. The loading rate of ICG to SiO2-NH2 was greatly increased compared to unmodified SiO2, and the stability of ICG was also improved. Moreover, the SiO2-NH2@ICG NPs exhibited efficient photothermal effects due to ICG transforming laser power into local heat through the connected ICG, when NIR laser irradiation turned on for a couple of minutes. Finally, the in vitro antitumor efficacy of SiO2-NH2@ICG NPs was investigated by recording cell proliferation rate and further chronicled the apoptotic morphology evidence by a Calcein-AM/PI fluorescent staining assay, indicating the efficient photothermal targeted therapy for the HepG2 tumor cells.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality globally. Various nanoparticles have been developed to improve the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and their combination for treating cancer. However, most of the existing nanoparticles are low in both subcellular precision and drug loading content (<≈5%), and the effect of targeted heating of subcellular organelles on the enhancement of chemotherapy has not been well explored. Here, a hybrid Py@Si-TH nanoparticle is reported to first target cancer cells overexpressed with the variant CD44 via its natural ligand HA on the outermost surface of the nanoparticle before cellular uptake, and then target mitochondria after they are taken up inside cells. In addition, the nanoparticle is ultraefficient for encapsulating doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) to form Py@Si-TH-DOX nanoparticle. The encapsulation efficiency is ≈100% at the commonly used low feeding ratio of 1:20 (DOX:empty nanoparticle), and >80% at an ultrahigh feeding ratio of 1:1. In combination with near infrared (NIR, 808 nm) laser irradiation, the tumor weight in the Py@Si-TH-DOX treatment group is 8.5 times less than that in the Py@Si-H-DOX (i.e., DOX-laden nanoparticles without mitochondrial targeting) group, suggesting targeted heating of mitochondria is a valuable strategy for enhancing chemotherapy to combat cancer.

Abstract
The requirement of on-demand microfluidic pumps and instrument-free readout methods remains a major challenge for the development of microfluidics. Herein, a new type of microfluidic platform, an on-demand photothermal microfluidic pumping platform, has been developed using an on-chip nanomaterial-mediated photothermal effect as novel and remotely tunable microfluidic driving force. The photothermal microfluidic pumping performance can be adjusted remotely by tuning the irradiation parameters, without changing on-chip parameters or replacing enzymes or other reagents. In contrast to graphene oxide, Prussian blue nanoparticles with higher photothermal conversion efficiency were used as the model photothermal agent to demonstrate the proof of concept. The on-chip pumping distance is linearly correlated with both the irradiation time and the nanomaterial concentration. The applications of photothermal microfluidic pumping have been demonstrated in multiplexed on-chip transport of substances, such as gold nanoparticles, and visual quantitative bar-chart detection of cancer biomarkers without using specialized instruments. Upon contact-free irradiation using a laser pointer, a strong on-chip nanomaterial-mediated photothermal effect can serve as a robust and remotely tunable microfluidic pump in a PMMA/PDMS hybrid bar-chart chip to drive ink bars in a visual quantitative readout fashion. This is the first report on a photothermal microfluidic pumping platform, which has great potential for various microfluidic applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is an emerging method of cancer treatment in which tumors are ablated by heating agents using near-infrared light (700-1000 nm). A semiconductor with a band gap between 0.3-0.7 eV would therefore efficiently emit near-infrared light. The new "magic" material graphene has a band gap of zero, which is advantageous with regard to designing a new material with a suitable band gap for the emission of near infrared light. In our investigations, using the first principles density functional theory calculation method, we aimed to and successfully designed graphene-based materials with a direct band gap of 0.68 eV. They have the potential to be optimal and efficient near-infrared light sources, due to their narrow yet fitting band gap. The present results open up a new avenue for the application of graphene-based materials to assist in photothermal therapy.

Abstract
The application of porphyrins and their derivatives have been investigated extensively over the past years for phototherapy cancer treatment. Phototherapeutic Porphyrins have the ability to generate high levels of reactive oxygen with a low dark toxicity and these properties have made them robust photosensitizing agents. In recent years, Porphyrins have been combined with various nanomaterials in order to improve their bio-distribution. These combinations allow for nanoparticles to enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) cancer treatment and adding additional nanotheranostics (photothermal therapy-PTT) as well as enhance photodiagnosis (PDD) to the reaction. This review examines various porphyrin-based inorganic nanoparticles developed for phototherapy nanotheranostic cancer treatment over the last three years (2017 to 2020). Furthermore, current challenges in the development and future perspectives of porphyrin-based nanomedicines for cancer treatment are also highlighted.

Abstract
Specific targeted drug delivery and controllable release of drugs at tumor regions are two of the main challenges for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy, particularly post metastasis. Herein, we present a platelet membrane-facilitated local chemo-photothermal therapy strategy, in which polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles act as photothermal agents and along with antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) are encapsulated into platelet membranes (PLT-PPy-DOX). The particles are endowed with immune evasiveness and tumor targeting abilities from platelet membranes, and are then intravenously injected into an orthotopic mouse model of HCC. As expected, the PLT-PPy-DOX nanoplatforms were abundant in the tumor tissues. Hyperthermia was generated under laser irradiation (808 nm) not only to ablate tumor cells directly but also to increase the triggered release of DOX. This combination of local chemotherapy and photothermal therapy demonstrated excellent antitumor efficiency in suppressing primary tumor growth and inhibiting tumor metastases. This localized therapy which adopts biocompatible natural cell membranes and good biodegradable organic photothermal agents may provide new insights into designing biomimetic nano-vehicles for personalized therapy of HCC.

Abstract
Polypyrroles have shown great potential in photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy owing to its excellent photothermal conversion capabilities. However, the synthesis of polypyrrole-based nano-assemblies which have colloidal stability in biological buffers requires a number of steps, including the polymerization of pyrrole monomers, self-assembly of polypyrrole-based copolymers, and even an additional step to increase the biocompatibility of the nano-assemblies. Herein, a "polymerization/assembly" two-in-one synthesis is proposed for the first time to achieve the one-step synthesis of a new family of polypyrrole-based nano-assemblies, dextran-polypyrrole nano-assemblies (Dex-PPy NAs), under ambient conditions and in aqueous media. In addition, the approach employs tetravalent cerium ions as initiators which can initiate the polymerization of pyrrole monomers through the initiation of free radicals from dextran molecular chains. The resultant Dex-PPy NAs have a photothermal conversion efficiency reaching as high as 41 % and an excellent photostability. More importantly, the NAs with controllable nanoscale dimensions display no signs of cytotoxicity in both in vitro and in vivo studies owing to their biocompatible dextran "shell". An in vivo study further confirmed that the Dex-PPy NAs have excellent real-time photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy capabilities for malignant tumors. Therefore, this study represents an important step towards the scalable synthesis of polypyrrole-based nano-assemblies with photothermal/photoacoustic dual capabilities and enhanced biocompatibility.

Abstract
Nanoparticles offer many promising advantages for improving current surgical regimens through their ability to detect and treat disseminated colorectal cancer (CRC). Hybrid Donor-Acceptor Polymer Particles (HDAPPs) have recently been shown to fluorescently detect and thermally ablate tumors in a murine model. Here, HDAPPS were functionalized with hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve their binding specificity to CT26 mouse CRC cells using HA to target the cancer stem cell marker CD44. In this work, we compared the binding of HA functionalized HDAPPs (HA-HDAPPs) in in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo environments. The HA-HDAPPs bound to CT26 cells 2-fold more in vitro and 2.3-fold higher than un-functionalized HDAPPs ex vivo. Compared to intraoperative abdominal perfusion, intraperitoneal injection prior to laser stimulation for nanoparticle heat generation provides a superior modality of HA-HDAPPs delivery for CRC tumor selectivity. Photothermal treatment of disseminated CRC showed that only HA-HDAPPs delivered via intraperitoneal injection had a reduction in the tumor burden, and these nanoparticles also remained in the abdomen following resolution of the tumor. The results of this work confirm that HA-HDAPPs selectively bind to disseminated CRC, with ex vivo tumors having bound HA-HDAPPs capable of photothermal ablation. HA-HDAPPs demonstrated superior binding to tumor regions compared to HDAPPs. Overall, this study displays the theranostic potential of HDAPPs, emphasizing their capacity to detect and photothermally treat disseminated CRC tumors.

Abstract
Theranostic systems combining fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) and photothermal therapy (PTT) under safe laser fluence have great potential in preclinical research and clinical practice, but the development of such systems with sufficient effective NIR-II brightness and excellent photothermal properties is still challenging. Here we report a theranostic system based on semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (L1057 NPs) for NIR-II fluorescence imaging and PTT under a 980 nm laser irradiation, with low (25 mW/cm2) and high (720 mW/cm2) laser fluence, respectively. Taking into consideration multiple parameters including the extinction coefficient, the quantum yield, and the portion of emission in the NIR-II region, L1057 NPs have much higher effective NIR-II brightness than most reported organic NIR-II fluorophores. The high brightness, together with good stability and excellent biocompatibility, allows for real-time visualization of the whole body and brain vessels and the detection of cerebral ischemic stroke and tumors with high clarity. The excellent photothermal properties and high maximal permissible exposure limit at 980 nm allow L1057 NPs for PTT of tumors under safe laser fluence. This study demonstrates that L1057 NPs behave as an excellent theranostic system for NIR-II imaging and PTT under safe laser fluence and have great potential for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) with chemotherapy has great potential to maximize the synergistic effect of thermo-induced chemosensitization and improve treatment performance. To achieve high drug-loading capacity as well as precise synchronization between the controllable release of chemotherapeutics and the duration of near-infrared PTT, in this work, a facile one-step method was first developed to fabricate a novel injectable in situ forming photothermal modulated hydrogel drug delivery platform (D-PPy@PNAs), in which a PNIPAM-based temperature-sensitive acidic triblock polymer [poly(acrylic acid-b-N-isopropylamide-b-acrylic acid (PNA)] was utilized as the stabilizing agent in the polymerization of polypyrrole (PPy). The in situ forming hydrogels showed a sensitive temperature-responsive sol-gel phase-transition behavior, as well as an excellent photothermal property. The strong interaction of ionic bonds together with π-π stacking interactions resulted in high doxorubicin (DOX) loading capacity and controlled/sustained drug release behavior. In addition, D-PPy@PNAs also displayed enhanced cellular uptake and promoted intratumoral penetration of DOX upon NIR laser irradiation. The synergistic photothermal therapy-chemotherapy of D-PPy@PNA hydrogels greatly improved the antitumor efficacy in vivo. Therefore, thermosensitive polypyrrole-based D-PPy@PNA hydrogels may be powerful drug delivery nanoplatforms for precisely synergistic photothermo-chemotherapy of tumors.

Abstract
Gold particles have been widely used in the treatment of prostate cancer due to their unique optical properties, such as their light-heat conversion in response to near-infrared radiation. Due to well-defined synthesis mechanisms and simple manufacturing methods, gold particles have been fabricated in various sizes and shapes. However, the low photothermal transduction efficiency in their present form is a major obstacle to practical and therapeutic uses of these particles. In the current work, we present a silica-coated gold nanoparticle cluster to address the therapeutic limit of single gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and use its photothermal effect for treatment against PC-3, a typical prostate cancer. Due to its specific nanostructure, this gold nanocluster showed three times higher photothermal transduction efficiency than free single AuNPs. Moreover, while free single particles easily clump and lose optical properties, this silica-coated cluster form remained stable for a longer time in a given medium. In photothermal tests under near-infrared radiation, the excellent therapeutic efficacy of gold nanoclusters, referred to as AuNC@SiO2, was observed in a preclinical sample. Only the samples with both injected nanoclusters followed by photothermal treatment showed completely degraded tumors after 15 days. Due to the unique intrinsic biocompatibility and higher therapeutic effect of these silica-coated gold nanoclusters, they may contribute to enhancement of therapeutic efficacy against prostate cancer.

Abstract
Hyperthermia has shown tremendous therapeutic efficiency in the treatment of cancer due to its controllability, minimal invasiveness and limited side effects compared to the conventional treatment techniques like surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. To improve the precision of hyperthermia specifically to a tumor location, near infra-red (NIR) light activatable inorganic metal nanoparticles have served as effective photothermal therapy materials, but toxicity and non-biodegradability have limited their clinical applications. Conjugated polymer nanoparticles have overcome these limitations and are emerging as superior photothermal materials owing to their excellent light harvesting nature, biocompatibility and tunable absorption properties. In this review we focus on the development of organic conjugated polymers (polyaniline, polypyrrole, polydopamine etc.) and their nanoparticles, which have broad NIR absorption. Such materials elicit photothermal effects upon NIR stimulation and may also serve as carriers for delivery of therapeutic and contrast agents for combined therapy. Subsequently, the emergence of donor-acceptor based semiconducting polymer nanoparticles with strong absorbance that is tunable across the NIR have been shown to eradicate tumors by either hyperthermia alone or combined with other therapies. The design of multifunctional polymer nanoparticles that absorb near- or mid- infrared light for heat generation, as well as their diagnostic abilities for precise biomedical applications are highlighted.

Abstract
A hydrophobic diradical-platinum(ii) complex was solubilized in aqueous solutions by using bovine serum albumin and exhibited photothermal conversion under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. The complex was introduced into cancer cells and induced cell death upon absorption of NIR. These results imply that the complex can function as a photothermal therapeutic agent. A near-infrared (NIR) absorbing diradical-platinum(ii) complex solubilized in PBS by albumin can kill MCF-7 cells by the photothermal effect.![]()

Abstract
Cancer, as one of the most life-threatening diseases, shows a high fatality rate around the world. When improving the therapeutic efficacy of conventional cancer treatments, researchers also conduct extensive studies into alternative therapeutic approaches, which are safe, valid, and economical. Phototherapies, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), are tumor-ablative and function-reserving oncologic interventions, showing strong potential in clinical cancer treatment. During phototherapies, the non-toxic phototherapeutic agents can be activated upon light irradiation to induce cell death without causing much damage to normal tissues. Besides, with the rapid development of nanotechnology in the past decades, phototheranostic nanomedicine also has attracted tremendous interests aiming to continuously refine their performance. Herein, we reviewed the recent progress of phototheranostic nanomedicine for improved cancer therapy. After a brief introduction of the therapeutic principles and related phototherapeutic agents for PDT and PTT, the existing works on developing of phototheranostic nanomedicine by mainly focusing on their categories and applications, particularly on phototherapy-synergized cancer immunotherapy, are comprehensively reviewed. More importantly, a brief conclusion and future challenges of phototheranostic nanomedicine from our point of view are delivered in the last part of this article.

Abstract
Current state-of-the-art synthetic strategies produce conducting polymers suffering from low processability and unstable chemical and/or physical properties stifling research and development. Here, we introduce a platform for synthesizing scalable submicron-sized particles of the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The synthesis is based on a hybrid approach utilizing an aerosol of aqueous oxidant droplets and monomer vapor to engineer a scalable synthetic scheme. This aerosol vapor polymerization technology results in bulk quantities of discrete solid-state submicron particles (750 nm diameter) with the highest reported particle conductivity (330 ± 70 S/cm) so far. Moreover, particles are dispersible in organics and water, obviating the need for surfactants, and remain electrically conductive and doped over a period of months. This enhanced processability and environmental stability enable their incorporation in thermoplastic and cementitious composites for engineering chemoresistive pH and temperature sensors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays, it is needed to explore new routes to treat infectious bacterial pathogens due to prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antimicrobial photothermal therapy (PTT), as a new strategy, eradicates pathogenic bacteria. OBJECTIVE In this study, the antimicrobial effects of a carbon nanoparticles-polypyrrole nanocomposite (C-PPy) upon laser irradiation were investigated to destroy the pathogenic gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this experimental study, the bacterial cells were incubated with 50, 100 and 250 µg mL-1 concentrations of C-PPy and irradiated with a 808-nm laser at two power densities of 0.5 and 1.0 W cm-2. CFU numbers were counted for the irradiated cells, and compared to an untreated sample (kept in dark). To explore the antibacterial properties and mechanism(s) of C-PPy, temperature increment, reactive oxygen species formation, and protein and DNA leakages were evaluated. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was also employed to investigate morphological changes in the bacterial cell structures. RESULTS The results showed that following C-PPy attachment to the bacteria surface, irradiation of near-infrared light resulted in a significant decrement in the bacterial cell viability due to photothermal lysis. Slightly increase in protein leakage and significantly increase intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were observed in the bacteria upon treating with C-PPy. CONCLUSION Photo-ablation strategy is a new minimally invasive and inexpensive method without overdose risk manner for combat with bacteria.

Abstract
Apart from the wide applications in the field of electronic and optoelectronic devices, conjugated molecules have been established as useful functional materials for biological applications. By introducing hydrophilic side chains to conjugated backbones, water-soluble conjugated polymers or oligomers (CPs or COs) inherit the attractive optical and electronic properties from conjugated molecules, while their water solubility ensures interaction with biological substrates such as biomacromolecules, microorganisms, and living cells for further biological applications. Benefiting from high brightness, large extinction coefficients, excellent photostability, low cytotoxicity, stability in bodily fluids, and versatile structural modifications, water-soluble conjugated polymers and oligomers have offered powerful alternatives in a variety of biological applications including biological and chemical sensors, fluorescence imaging, disease diagnostics, and therapy. This Account will focus on our recent advances in design, synthesis, and interdisciplinary biological applications of a series of new water-soluble CP and CO materials, starting with a brief introduction to water-soluble CPs and COs and various methods and strategies developed for the preparation of advanced water-soluble CPs and COs. Since their properties can be tuned by rational design and synthesis at the level of the conjugated repeat unit and versatile pendant groups, CPs and COs provide a diverse toolbox for satisfying interdisciplinary biological applications. The application of water-soluble CPs and COs in the past five years can be broadly categorized into four areas. Specifically, integrating the unique optoelectronic properties of water-soluble CPs and COs with self-assembly and supramolecular strategies, efficacy regulation of antibiotic and anticancer drugs has been achieved, meanwhile drug resistance could be overcome and drug resistant "superbacteria" can be inhibited. For applications regulating cellular functions and biological processes, we introduce CPs and COs with the ability to regulate intracellular oxidative stress, cell-cell communication, cellular proliferation, cell membrane permeability, and quorum sensing of bacteria cells. By covalent linkage of reactive groups upon CPs and COs, these molecules are endowed with abilities like disassembly of amyloid polypeptides, biased distribution in cells, selective imaging of organelles, and distinguished interactions with biomolecules. For photothermal therapy (PTT) applications, photothermal-responsive conjugated polymer materials have been utilized for remote control of gene expression in living cells and in vivo photothermal therapy of cancer. Beyond these applications, we have achieved new interdisciplinary applications of water-soluble CP and CO materials for biological optoelectronic devices including photosynthesis, photocatalysis, and bioenergy. Specific features or properties of water-soluble CPs and COs are leveraged to bring opportunities for each of these applications. These studies open a new frontier for development of new functional conjugated molecule materials and provide better understanding of their interactions with biological systems as well as structure/property relationships. Current limitations confronted by CPs and COs are raised, and developmental direction for the future is proposed.

Abstract
Nowadays, photothermal killing of pathogenic bacteria and treatment of wound infection have attracted great attention owing to effectively avoiding the drawbacks of traditional antibiotics. In this work, an agarose (AG)-based hydrogel containing tannic acid-Fe(III) (TA-Fe) nanoparticles was fabricated by a facile and eco-friendly strategy. The optimal nanocomposite hydrogel showed the good mechanical property and superior processability. More importantly, the nanocomposite hydrogel revealed outstanding photothermal effect, which exhibited a sharp temperature increase of 58 °C during NIR exposure for 10 min. With in vitro antibacterial experiment, the hydrogel could effectively kill of nearly 99 % of bacteria with 10 min of NIR irradiation. Additionally, for the in vivo experiment, the nanocomposite hydrogel could effectively cure wound infection and promote wound healing. Moreover, the hydrogel possessed high biocompatibility. Based on the good mechanical property, outstanding photothermal effect and high biocompatibility, the nanocomposite hydrogel could become a promising antibacterial wound dressings for biomedical applications.
