Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy for cancer treatment is usually compromised by shortcomings such as insufficient therapeutic outcome and undesired side effects. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of combination therapy by integrating chemotherapy with hyperthermia for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated photothermal therapy, which has advantages such as great capacity of heat ablation and minimally invasive manner, has emerged as a powerful approach for cancer treatment. A variety of nanomaterials absorbing NIR light to generate heat have been developed to simultaneously act as carriers for chemotherapeutic drugs, contributing as heat trigger for drug release and/or inducing hyperthermia for synergistic effects. This review aims to summarize the recent development of advanced nanomaterials in chemo-photothermal combination therapy, including metal-, carbon-based nanomaterials and particularly organic nanomaterials. The potential challenges and perspectives for the future development of nanomaterials-based chemo-photothermal therapy were also discussed.

Abstract
In-depth studies of nonradiative (NR) decay, seeking to maximize NR decay rate or manipulate other NR decay channels, are of greatest significance for improving the photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of organic materials for phototheranostics; however, to date, relevant work remains scarce. Here, we present an insightful study of NR decay in BODIPY (BDP) dye, in an aggregated state, i.e., in BDP nanoparticles (BDP NPs), which show an efficient additional NR decay channel from the aggregation-stabilized intermolecular charge transfer (CT) state, resulting in exceptionally high η (61%) for highly efficient phototheranostics in vivo. BDP NPs exhibit two ultrafast NR decay channels with ultrashort lifetimes of 1.7 and 50 ps, which is in stark contrast to the only S1 → S0 NR channel with a long lifetime of 373 ps in the isolated BDP dye. More importantly, the ultrafast NR channel (1.7 ps) in BDP NPs depletes a substantial portion of the excited-state population (71%), which accounts for its much better photothermal effect as compared with the isolated BDP dye. Finally, BDP NPs display a highly efficient photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumors in live mice. This study presents a deeper fundamental understanding of NR decay in organic materials, setting a valuable guideline that may be widely applicable to similar molecular structure to develop more advanced organic materials not only for photothermal-related applications.

Abstract
Light-sensitive yolk-shell nanoparticles (YSNs) as remote-controlled and stimuli-responsive theranostic platforms provide an attractive method for synergistic cancer therapy. Herein, a kind of novel stimuli-responsive multifunctional YSNs has been successfully constructed by integrating star-shaped gold (Au star) nanoparticles as the second near-infrared (NIR-II) photothermal yolks and biodegradable crystalline zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as the shells. In this platform, a chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubicin hydrochloride, DOX) was encapsulated into the cavity, which can show the behavior of controlled release due to the degradation process of ZIF-8 in the mildly acidic tumor microenvironment. Upon the 1064 nm (NIR-II biowindow) laser irradiation, gold nanostar@ZIF-8 (Au@MOF) nanoparticles exhibited outstanding synergistic anticancer effect based on their photothermal and promoted cargo release properties. Moreover, the strong NIR region absorbance endows the Au@MOF of NIR thermal imaging and photoacoustic (PA) imaging properties. This work contributes to design a stimuli-responsive "all-in-one" nanocarrier that realizes bimodal imaging diagnosis and chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lateral flow assays (LFA) play an increasingly important role in the rapid detection of various pathogens, pollutants, and toxins. PURPOSE To overcome the drawbacks of low sensitivity and poor quantification in LFA, we developed a new calorimetric LFA (CLFA) using gold nanocages (GNCs) due to their high photothermal conversion efficiency, good stability of photophysical properties, and stronger penetrating ability of NIR light. METHODS Thiol-polyethylene glycol-succinyl imide ester (HS-PEG-NHS) was modified onto GNCs, and the complex was conjugated with an antibody. Subsequently, the antibody-conjugated GNCs were analyzed by UV/Vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscope, high-resolution transmission electron microscope with energy dispersive spectrometer, dynamic light scattering instrument, and Atom force microscope. The GNC-based CLFA of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and zearalenone (ZEN), a food toxin, required nitrocellulose strips, a NIR laser source, and an infrared camera. RESULTS The GNC-labeled CLFA platform technique exhibited detection sensitivity, qualitative specificity, and quantitative accuracy. The superior performance of the technique was evident both in sandwich format detection of biomacromolecules (eg, AFP protein) or competitive format detection of small molecules (eg, ZEN). After optimizing various test parameters, GNC-labeled CLFA provided ca. 5-6-fold enhanced sensitivity, higher correlativity (R 2>0.99), and more favorable recovery (82-115%) when compared with visual LFA. CONCLUSION GNC-labeled CLFA may be a promising detection platform with high sensitivity, specificity, and precision.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy at the NIR-II biowindow (1000-1350 nm) is drawing increasing interest because of its large penetration depth and maximum permissible exposure. Now, the supramolecular radical dimer, fabricated by N,N'-dimethylated dipyridinium thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole radical cation (MPT.+ ) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), achieves strong absorption at NIR-II biowindow. The supramolecular radical dimer (2MPT.+ -CB[8]) showed highly efficient photothermal conversion and improved stability, thus contributing to the strong inhibition on HegG2 cancer cell under 1064 nm irradiation even penetrating through chicken breast tissue. This work provides a novel approach to construct NIR-II chromophore by tailor-made assembly of organic radicals. It is anticipated that this study provides a new strategy to achieve NIR-II photothermal therapy and holds promises in luminescence materials, optoelectronic materials, and also biosensing.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have drawn growing attention in cancer phototherapy and imaging due to their large extinction coefficients, robust photostability, and good biocompatibility. Herein, we propose a new type of photothermal therapy materials on the basis of BODIPY-diketopyrrolopyrrole CPs, where the number of methyl substituents at the β and β' positions on BODIPYs is variable, allowing us to investigate the interplay between the structure of the monomers and the related properties of CPs. Combining the experimental data with theoretical calculations, we concluded that with the decrease of the number of methyl moieties on the β and β' positions of BODIPY, the polymerization degree and the solubility of the obtained CPs improved and the polymeric spatial planarization and degrees of conjugation increased, inducing the bathochromic shift of absorption, which resulted in the absorption spectra getting closer to the near-infrared region and more conducive to the application of the conjugated polymers in vivo. Afterward, the CP nanoparticles were constructed and their photothermal activity in cancer therapy was validated by a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. In this paper, we provide a new way to manipulate properties of CPs with great potential in photothermal therapy through structural engineering.

Abstract
Although photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region (1.0-1.7 μm) is admired for deeper penetration and higher contrast, few organic NIR-II absorbers are available as exogenous contrast agents in vivo. A1094 belongs to the very few ∼1.1 μm absorbing croconaine dyes that have superior extinction coefficient and tend to form irregular aggregation. In this study, shape-controlled A1094@DSPE-PEG2000 micelles with a J-aggregate core with remarkable 1.2-1.3 μm absorption are fabricated as biocompatible organic agents. Excellent capabilities in photothermal conversion, photostability, and PAI are found in in vitro studies. In vivo PAI of inguinal lymph nodes and in situ glioma pre- and post-resection, all demonstrate high lymph/tumor-targeting efficiency. An ∼4.54 mm deep brain lesion is imaged at 1200 nm with minimized background and increased contrast compared to 970 nm. Overall, we achieved significant bathochromic shift of organic absorbers and expanded their PAI application to the long-wavelength end of the NIR-IIa region.

Abstract
As a new family member of the emerging two-dimensional (2D) monoelemental materials (Xenes), germanene has shown promising advantages over the prototypical 2D Xenes, such as black phosphorus (BP) and graphene. However, efficient manufacture of novel germanene nanostructures is still a challenge. Herein, a simple top-down approach for the liquid-exfoliation of ultra-small germanene quantum dots (GeQDs) is presented. The prepared GeQDs possess an average lateral size of about 4.5 nm and thickness of about 2.2 nm. The functionalized GeQDs were demonstrated to be robust photothermal agents (PTAs) with outstanding photothermal conversion efficacy (higher than those of graphene and BPQDs), superior stability, and excellent biocompatibility. As a proof-of-principle, 2D GeQDs-based PTAs were used in fluorescence/photoacoustic/photothermal-imaging-guided hyperpyrexia ablation of tumors. This work could expand the application of 2D germanene to the field of photonic cancer nanomedicine.

Abstract
Nanobiomaterials have attracted tremendous attention in the biomedical field. Especially in the past few years, a large number of low dimensional nanobiomaterials, including 0D nanostructures, 1D nanotubes and 2D nanosheets, were employed for tumor therapy due to their optically triggered tumor therapy effects and drug loading capacities. However, these low dimensional nanobiomaterials cannot support cell adhesion and possess poor tissue regeneration ability, thus they are not suitable for application in regenerative medicine. Three dimensional (3D) nanofiber scaffolds have attracted extensive attention in tissue regeneration, including bone, skin, nerve and cardiac tissues, due to their similar extracellular matrix structures. Additionally, many 3D scaffolds displayed bone and cartilage regeneration abilities. Therefore, to obtain materials with both tumor therapy and tissue regeneration abilities, it is meaningful and necessary to develop 3D nanobiomaterials with multifunctions. In this review, we systematically review the research progress of nanobiomaterials with varied dimensional structures including 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D, as well as evolutional functions from single tumor therapy to simultaneous tumor therapy and tissue regeneration. This review may pave the way for developing an interdisciplinary research of nanobiomaterials in combination of tumor therapy and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Selective activation of photocatalysts under constant light conditions has recently been targeted to produce multi-responsive systems. However, controlled activation, with easy recovery of the photocatalysts, induced by external stimuli remains a major challenge. Mimicking the responsiveness of biological systems to multiple triggers can offer a promising solution. Herein, we report dual-responsive polymer photocatalysts in the form of nanogels consisting of a cross-linked poly-N-isopropylacrylamide nanogel, copolymerised with a photocatalytically active monomer. The dual-responsive polymer nanogels undergo a stark decrease in diameter with increasing temperature, which shields the photocatalytic sites, decreasing the activity. Temperature-dependent photocatalytic formation of NAD+ in water demonstrates the ability to switch photocatalysis on and off. Moreover, the photocatalysed syntheses of several fine chemicals were carried out to demonstrate the utility of the designed material.

Abstract
Development of high photothermal performance and biocompatible nanotherapeutic agents is of great importance for photothermal cancer treatment. In this paper, we have developed lentinan decorated tungsten oxide nanorods (W18O49@LTN NRs) via a mild one-step solvothermal route. Owing to the numerous surface hydroxyl groups of polymer chains, the presence of lentinan layer in the surface of W18O49 NRs lead to good biocompatibility. The lentinan layer also affects the crystal structure of W18O49 and improves near-infrared absorption (~1.7 × 109 M-1 cm-1 at 980 nm), which is two orders of higher than previously reported PEGylated W18O49 nanowires. Even under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation at a very low power density of 0.4 W/cm2, the temperature of W18O49@LTN NRs aqueous dispersion (125 μg/mL) could increase by 15.1 °C. The photothermal conversion efficiency of W18O49@LTN NRs reaches 33.86%, which is higher than previously reported WO3-x hierarchical nanostructures (28.1%). Importantly, when cancer cells were treated with W18O49@LTN NRs (200 μg/mL) and 980 nm laser (0.4 W/cm2), a significant photo-induced cell killing behavior was observed. This work demonstrates that W18O49@LTN NRs have the potential for precise cancer treatment.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing organic nanoparticles (ONPs) are emerging candidates for "one-for-all" theranostic nanomaterials with considerations of safety and formulation in mind. However, facile fabrication methods and improvements in the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) and photostability are likely needed before a clinically viable set of candidates emerges. Herein, a new organic compound, [porphyrin-diketopyrrolopyrrole (Por-DPP)] with the donor-acceptor structure was synthesized, where porphyrin was used as a donor unit while diketopyrrolopyrrole was used as an acceptor unit. Por-DPP exhibited efficient absorption extending from visible to NIR regions. After self-assembling into nanoparticles (NPs) (∼120 nm), the absorption spectrum of Por-DPP NPs broadened and red-shifted to some extent, relative to that of organic molecules. Furthermore, the architecture of NPs enhanced the acceptor-donor structure, leading to emission quenching and facilitating nonradiative thermal generation. The PCE of Por-DPP NPs was measured and calculated to be 62.5%, higher than most of ONPs. Under 808 nm laser irradiation, the Por-DPP NPs possessed a distinct photothermal therapy (PTT) effect in vitro and can damage cancer cells efficiently in vivo without significant side effects after phototherapy. Thus, the small-molecule porphyrin-based ONPs with high PCE demonstrated promising application in photoacoustic imaging-guided PTT.

Abstract
As a noninvasive treatment modality, ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) shows broad and promising applications to overcome the drawbacks of traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT) in combating cancer. However, the SDT efficacy is still not satisfactory without oxygen (O2) assistance. In addition, there is also much space to explore the SDT-based synergistic therapeutic modalities. Herein, a novel Pt-CuS Janus composed of hollow semiconductor CuS and noble metallic Pt was rationally designed and successfully synthesized. The hollow CuS shows a large inner cavity for loading sonosensitizer molecules (tetra-(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin, TAPP) to implement SDT. Moreover, the deposition of Pt not only enhances photothermal performance compared with those of CuS nanoparticles (NPs) due to the effect of the local electric field enhancement but also possesses nanozyme activity for catalyzing decomposition of endogenous overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce O2 that can overcome tumor hypoxia and augment the SDT-induced highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) production for efficient cancer cell apoptosis. Importantly, the generated heat of Pt-CuS by 808 nm laser irradiation can accelerate the catalytic activity of Pt and elevate the O2 level that further facilitates SDT efficacy. Interestingly, the thermally sensitive copolymer coated around the Janus can act as a smart switch to regulate the catalytic ability of Pt and control TAPP release that has a significant effect on modulating the therapeutic effect. The synergistic catalysis-enhanced SDT efficiency and highly photothermal effect almost realized complete tumor resection without obvious reoccurrence and simultaneously displayed a highly therapeutic biosafety. Furthermore, the high optical absorbance allows the as-synthesized Pt-CuS Janus for photoacoustic (PA) imaging and NIR thermal imaging. This work develops a versatile nanoplatform for a multifunctional theranostic strategy and broadens the biological applications by rationally designing their structure.

Abstract
Novel photothermal nanoagents (PTNAs) with excellent photothermal performance, smart-responsive property, and biocompatibility are in urgent need for precise chemo-photothermal cancer therapy. Herein, polynorepinephrine nanoparticles (PNE NPs) with a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of 808 nm laser (67%), pH/thermal responsibility, and little to no long-term toxicity were synthesized from an endogenic neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Compared to their analogues, polydopamine NPs, a widely used PTNA, PNE NPs exhibited a higher η value (enhanced 1.63-fold) and better cellular uptake efficiency (enhanced 2.57-fold). After modifying with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and loading with doxorubicin (DOX), PNE-PEG@DOX could realize responsive release of DOX under either a cytolysosome pH microenvironment (pH 5.0) or an 808 nm laser irradiation, resulting in an enhanced chemotherapeutic efficacy of DOX. Besides, in vivo combination therapy leads to nearly complete ablation of tumor tissues, while no significant side effects were found in normal tissues. Hence, this intelligent and biocompatible nanoplatform based on PNE NPs holds great potential in promoting the clinic transformation of precise chemo-photothermal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) that utilizes phSUPPotothermal conversion agents (PTC) to ablate tumor under NIR light irradiation has attracted increasing attention due to its excellent therapeutic efficacy and improved target selectivity. Herein, a novel core-shell nanoparticle based on disulfide-crosslinked poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) layer coated polydopamine (PDA) particle has been successfully synthesized by precipitation polymerization. For these PDA@PMAA composite nanoparticles, PDA core exhibits high photothermal efficacy, meanwhile, the redox-labile PMAA shell serves as carriers to encapsulate anticancer drugs and selectively release them. Due to the characteristic of the disulfide bond, PMAA shell occurs at selective degradation as well as controlled drug release upon entering cancer cells. Moreover, the DOX-loaded PDA@PMAA nanoparticles demonstrated a synergistic effect, which shows a significantly improved inhibition effect against cancer cells by the combination of photothermal therapy and traditional chemotherapy with low drug dosage and short laser irradiation in an in vitro study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanotechnology in medicine has greatly expanded the therapeutic strategy that may be explored for cancer treatment by exploiting the specific tumor microenvironment such as mild acidity, high glutathione (GSH) concentration and overproduced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Among them, tumor microenvironment responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) utilized the Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce excess hydroxyl radical (·OH) for the destruction of tumor cells. However, the produced ·OH is easily depleted by the excess GSH in tumors, which would undoubtedly impair the CDT's efficiency. To overcome this obstacle and enhance the treatment efficiency, we design the nanoplatforms for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided CDT. RESULTS In this study, we applied the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-templated CuS:Gd nanoparticles (CuS:Gd NPs) for MRI-guided CDT. The Cu2+ in the CuS:Gd NPs could be reduced to Cu+ by GSH in tumors, which further reacted with H2O2 and triggered Fenton-like reaction to simultaneously generate abundant ·OH and deplete GSH for tumor enhanced CDT. Besides, the Gd3+ in CuS:Gd NPs endowed them with excellent MRI capability, which could be used to locate the tumor site and monitor the therapy process preliminarily. CONCLUSIONS The designed nanoplatforms offer a major step forward in CDT for effective treatment of tumors guided by MRI.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-assisted spatiotemporal manipulation of biological events holds great promise in advancing the practice of precision medicine in healthcare systems. The progress in internal and/or external stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms for highly specific cellular regulations and theranostic controls offer potential clinical translations of the revolutionized nanomedicine. To successfully implement this new paradigm, the emerging light-responsive nanoregulators with unparalleled precise cell functions manipulation have gained intensive attention, providing UV-Vis light-triggered photocleavage or photoisomerization studies, as well as near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated deep-tissue applications for stimulating cellular signal cascades and treatment of mortal diseases. This review discusses current developments of light-activatable nanoplatforms for modulations of various cellular events including neuromodulations, stem cell monitoring, immunomanipulation, cancer therapy, and other biological target intervention. In summary, the propagation of light-controlled nanomedicine would place a bright prospect for future medicine.

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

Abstract
A theranostic nanoplatform (DTX/PFH@PPy-FA) for multi-modal imaging-guided photothermal-chemotherapy has been constructed. Lipid-perfluorohexane (PFH) nanodroplet loaded with docetaxel (DTX) was coated with a polypyrrole (PPy) shell. Then the folic acid (FA) molecule with active tumor-targeting function was modified on the surface of PPy shell. Due to the good photothermal conversion performance, PPy shell can raise the temperature under the near infrared laser irradiation, which not only produces photothermal effect to kill tumor cells, but also promotes liquid-gas phase change of PFH, and produces ultrasound imaging effect. The results of photothermal experiment and imaging experiment confirmed that the obtained DTX/PFH@PPy-FA possessed good photothermal, photoacoustic imaging and ultrasound imaging effects in vitro and in vivo. The results of in vitro cell experiments showed that DTX/PFH@PPy-FA had a active targeting ability to tumor cells, and its photothermal-chemotherapy synergistically inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells. In vivo study on 4T1-bearing BALB/c mice indicated that the photothermal-chemotherapy of DTX/PFH@PPy-FA not only effectively inhibited the growth of 4T1 breast cancer, but also inhibited lung metastasis. This multifunctional nanoparticle is expected to become a new nanoplatform for the visualized photothermal-chemotherapy of cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this work, we presented a multi-modal imaging-guided photothermal-chemotherapy theranostic nanoplatform (DTX/PFH@PPy-FA) for visualized treatment of breast cancer. The docetaxel (DTX) loaded perfluorohexane (PFH) nanodroplets (DTX/PFH@SPC) were firstly prepared and then coated with polypyrrole shell (PPy). Then, PEGylated folic acid was covalently modified to obtain the folate-targeted multifunctional nanoparticle (DTX/PFH@PPy-FA). Due to the good photothermal conversion performance, PPy shell can raise the temperature under the near infrared laser irradiation, which not only produces photothermal effect to kill tumor cells, but also promotes liquid-gas phase change of PFH, and produces good ultrasound imaging effect. The PPy shell also imparts photoacoustic imaging characteristics to the nanoparticles. Experimental results show that our prepared DTX/PFH@PPy-FA possesses folic acid-mediated tumor targeting ability, ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging, and photothermal-chemotherapy synergistic effect. This multi-functional nanoparticle is expected to become a new platform for the visualized photothermal-chemotherapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
Gold is a multifunctional material that has been utilized in medicinal applications for centuries because it has been recognized for its bacteriostatic, anticorrosive, and antioxidative properties. Modern medicine makes routine, conventional use of gold and has even developed more advanced applications by taking advantage of its ability to be manufactured at the nanoscale and functionalized because of the presence of thiol and amine groups, allowing for the conjugation of various functional groups such as targeted antibodies or drug products. It has been shown that colloidal gold exhibits localized plasmon surface resonance (LPSR), meaning that gold nanoparticles can absorb light at specific wavelengths, resulting in photoacoustic and photothermal properties, making them potentially useful for hyperthermic cancer treatments and medical imaging applications. Modifying gold nanoparticle shape and size can change their LPSR photochemical activities, thereby also altering their photothermal and photoacoustic properties, allowing for the utilization of different wavelengths of light, such as light in the near-infrared spectrum. By manufacturing gold in a nanoscale format, it is possible to passively distribute the material through the body, where it can localize in tumors (which are characterized by leaky blood vessels) and be safely excreted through the urinary system. In this paper, we give a quick review of the structure, applications, recent advancements, and potential future directions for the utilization of gold nanoparticles in cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
The nonradiative conversion of light energy into heat (photothermal therapy, PTT) or sound energy (photoacoustic imaging, PAI) has been intensively investigated for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, respectively. By taking advantage of nanocarriers, both imaging and therapeutic functions together with enhanced tumour accumulation have been thoroughly studied to improve the pre-clinical efficiency of PAI and PTT. In this review, we first summarize the development of inorganic and organic nano photothermal transduction agents (PTAs) and strategies for improving the PTT outcomes, including applying appropriate laser dosage, guiding the treatment via imaging techniques, developing PTAs with absorption in the second NIR window, increasing photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), and also increasing the accumulation of PTAs in tumours. Second, we introduce the advantages of combining PTT with other therapies in cancer treatment. Third, the emerging applications of PAI in cancer-related research are exemplified. Finally, the perspectives and challenges of PTT and PAI for combating cancer, especially regarding their clinical translation, are discussed. We believe that PTT and PAI having noteworthy features would become promising next-generation non-invasive cancer theranostic techniques and improve our ability to combat cancers.

Abstract
Multimodal therapy is an emerging medical intervention to overcome the current limitation in cancer therapy combining treatment modalities with different mechanisms of action to eradicate tumors. This study demonstrates a targeted multifunctional bovine serum albumin (BSA)-functionalized CuFeS2/chlorin e6 (Ce6) for synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) effects. The CuFeS2 nanocrystals were synthesized through a simple heating-up approach and transferred into an aqueous phase using BSA in an ultrasonic-assisted microemulsion method. The as-prepared CuFeS2@BSA nanoparticles further conjugated with folic acid (FA) followed by attachment of Ce6 to form the Ce6:CuFeS2@BSA-FA nanohybrid with improved solubility and strong near-infrared (NIR) absorbance and fluorescence. It is the first report to fabricate the targeted Ce6:CuFeS2@BSA-FA hybrid and evaluates their synergistic PTT/PDT effect using a single laser. The Ce6:CuFeS2@BSA-FA hybrid showed lower toxicity in vitro (HeLa and HepG2 cells) and in vivo (zebrafish embryos), while they are selectively recognized and internalized by HeLa cells that over-express folate receptors. Compared to each modality applied separately, the combined single-laser-induced PTT and PDT treatment showed the enhanced generation of heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS) with synergistic cancer killing under 671 nm laser irradiation (10 min, 1 W/cm2). As a biocompatible targeted nanoprobe, the multifunctional nanohybrid holds promise in combined PDT/PTT synergistic therapy to achieve better efficacy.

Abstract
As a result of their unique compositions and properties, nanomaterials have recently seen a tremendous increase in use for novel cancer therapies. By taking advantage of the optical absorption of near-infrared light, researchers have utilized nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes, gold nanorods, and graphene oxide sheets to enhance photothermal therapies and target the effect on the tumor tissue. However, new uses for nanomaterials in targeted cancer therapy are coming to light, and the efficacy of photothermal therapy has increased dramatically. In this work, we review some of the current applications of nanomaterials to enhance photothermal therapy, specifically as photothermal absorbers, drug delivery vehicles, photoimmunological agents, and theranostic tools.

Abstract
To date, photothermal sensitizers include organic and inorganic nanomaterials for biomedical applications. However, the impediments of low biodegradability and potential toxicity hinder their further applications in clinics. Liquid metal nanospheres show superior photothermal effects under near-infrared laser irradiation, in addition, a transformation in shape can be triggered, which also promotes biodegradability that helps to avoid potential systemic toxicity. Here, we fabricated tunable liquid metal nanoparticles having sphere-shaped to rod-shaped characteristics, resulting in good biocompatibility, favorable photothermal conversion efficiency, and targeting capability to tumors. The synthesis strategy is easy to achieve through one-step sonication. We systematically evaluated the photothermal properties of these liquid metal nanoparticles as well as their destructive effects on tumors in a quantitative way both in vitro and in vivo under laser exposure. Results have shown for the first time in mice that gallium nanorods, regulated and controlled through the production of GaO(OH), displayed outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency and exhibited distinct temperature elevation compared to gallium nanospheres and gallium-indium alloy nanorods. These shape transformable and biocompatible gallium nanorods establish the basis for the future laser ablation of tumors to achieve enhanced therapeutic outcomes. This shape tunability of a smart nano-liquid metal directly contributes to enhanced photothermal therapy in mice and opens new opportunities for potential applications with tumor therapy and imaging.

Abstract
To overcome low therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy against multidrug resistance (MDR) breast cancer, a combination therapy system based upon functionalized polymer nanoparticles comprising poly(γ-glutamic acid)-g-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (γ-PGA-g-PLGA) as the major component was developed. The NPs were loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG) for dual modality cancer treatment and coated with cholesterol-PEG (C-PEG) for MDR abrogation in treatment of human MDR breast cancer. The in vitro cellular uptake of the DOX/ICG loaded nanoparticles (DI-NPs) by MDR cancer cells was significantly enhanced owing to effective inhibition of the P-gp activity by C-PEG and γ-PGA receptor-mediated endocytosis. DOX localization in cytoplasm and nucleus was observed particularly with the photo-thermal effect that facilitated intracellular drug release. As a result, the C-PEG coated DI-NPs after photo-irradiation exhibited a synergistic effect of combination (chemo/thermal) therapy to depress the proliferation of MDR cancer calls. The ex vivo biodistribution study revealed an enhanced tumor accumulation of C-PEG (2000) coated DI-NPs in MCF-7/MDR tumor-bearing nude mice due to the excellent EPR effects by the NP surface PEGylation. The MDR tumor growth was almost entirely inhibited in the group receiving combination therapy from CP2k-DI-NPs and photo-irradiation along with substantial cell apoptosis of tumor tissues examined by immunohistochemical staining. The results demonstrate a promising dual modality therapy system, CP2k-DI-NPs, developed in this work for effective combination therapy of human MDR breast cancer.

Abstract
Development of a facile but high-efficient small organic molecule-based photothermal therapy (PTT) in the in vivo transparent window (800-900 nm) has been regarded as a minimally invasive and most promising strategy for potential clinical cancer treatment. Phthalocyanine (Pc) molecules with remarkable photophysical and photochemical properties as well as high extinction coefficients in the near-infrared region are highly desirable for PTT, but as far satisfying single-component Pc-based PTT within the in vivo transparent window (800-900 nm) has very rarely been reported. Herein, inspired by the self-assembly algorithm of natural bacteriochlorophylls c, d, and e, biomimetic self-assembling tetrahexanoyl Pc Bio-ZnPc with outstanding light-harvesting capacity was demonstrated to exhibit excellent PTT efficacy evidenced by both in vitro and in vivo results, within the biological transparent window.

Abstract
Simplifying synthesis and administration process, improving photothermal agents' accumulation in tumors, and ensuring excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability are keys to promoting the clinical application of photothermal therapy. However, current photothermal agents have great difficulties in meeting the requirements of clinic drugs from synthesis to administration. Herein, we reported the in situ formation of a Ca2+/Mg2+ stimuli-responsive ICG-alginate hydrogel in vivo for localized tumor photothermal therapy. An ICG-alginate hydrogel can form by the simple introduction of Ca2+/Mg2+ into ICG-alginate solution in vitro, and the widely distributed divalent cations in organization in vivo enabled the in situ fabrication of the ICG-alginate hydrogel without the leakage of any agents by simple injection of ICG-alginate solution into the body of mice. The as-prepared ICG-alginate hydrogel not only owns good photothermal therapy efficacy and excellent biocompatibility but also exhibits strong ICG fixation ability, greatly benefiting the high photothermal agents' accumulation and minimizing the potential side effects induced by the diffusion of ICG to surrounding tissues. The in situ-fabricated ICG-alginate hydrogel was applied successfully in highly efficient PTT in vivo without obvious side effects. Besides, the precursor of the hydrogel, ICG and alginate, can be stored in a stable solid form, and only simple mixing and noninvasive injection are needed to achieve PTT in vivo. The proposed in situ gelation strategy using biocompatible components lays down a simple and mild way for the fabrication of high-performance PTT agents with the superiors in the aspects of synthesis, storage, transportation, and clinic administration.

Abstract
Recently, diverse functional materials that take subcellular structures as therapeutic targets are playing increasingly important roles in cancer therapy. Here, particular emphasis is placed on four kinds of therapies, including chemotherapy, gene therapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and hyperthermal therapy, which are the most widely used approaches for killing cancer cells by the specific destruction of subcellular organelles. Moreover, some non-drug-loaded nanoformulations (i.e., metal nanoparticles and molecular self-assemblies) with a fatal effect on cells by influencing the subcellular functions without the use of any drug molecules are also included. According to the basic principles and unique performances of each treatment, appropriate strategies are developed to meet task-specific applications by integrating specific materials, ligands, as well as methods. In addition, the combination of two or more therapies based on multifunctional nanostructures, which either directly target specific subcellular organelles or release organelle-targeted therapeutics, is also introduced with the intent of superadditive therapeutic effects. Finally, the related challenges of critical re-evaluation of this emerging field are presented.

Abstract
Cancer-related mortality is a leading cause of death among both men and women around the world. Target-specific therapeutic drugs, early diagnosis, and treatment are crucial to reducing the mortality rate. One of the recent trends in modern medicine is "Theranostics," a combination of therapeutics and diagnosis. Extensive interest in magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) has been increasing due to their biocompatibility, superparamagnetism, less-toxicity, enhanced programmed cell death, and auto-phagocytosis on cancer cells. MNPs act as a multifunctional, noninvasive, ligand conjugated nano-imaging vehicle in targeted drug delivery and diagnosis. In this review, we primarily discuss the significance of the crystal structure, magnetic properties, and the most common method for synthesis of the smaller sized MNPs and their limitations. Next, the recent applications of MNPs in cancer therapy and theranostics are discussed, with certain preclinical and clinical experiments. The focus is on implementation and understanding of the mechanism of action of MNPs in cancer therapy through passive and active targeting drug delivery (magnetic drug targeting and targeting ligand conjugated MNPs). In addition, the theranostic application of MNPs with a dual and multimodal imaging system for early diagnosis and treatment of various cancer types including breast, cervical, glioblastoma, and lung cancer is reviewed. In the near future, the theranostic potential of MNPs with multimodality imaging techniques may enhance the acuity of personalized medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of individual patients.
