Abstract
Peptide-based supramolecular hydrogels have shown great promise as drug delivery systems (DDSs) because of their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, biological function, synthetic feasibility, and responsiveness to external stimuli. Self-assembling peptide molecules are able rationally designed into specific nanoarchitectures in response to the different environmental factors under different circumstances. Among all stimuli that have been investigated, utilizing inherent biological microenvironment, such as metal ions, enzymes and endogenous redox species, to trigger self-assembly endows such systems spatiotemporal controllability to transport therapeutics more accurately. Materials formed by weak non-covalent interactions result in the shear-thinning and immediate recovery behavior. Thus, they are injectable via a syringe or catheter, making them the ideal vehicles to deliver drugs. Based on the above merits, self-assembling peptide-based DDSs have been applied to treat various diseases via direct administration at the lesion site. Herein, in this review, we outline the triggers for inducing peptide-based hydrogels formation and serving as DDSs. We also described the advancements of peptide-based supramolecular hydrogels for local drug delivery, including intratumoral, subcutaneous, ischemia-related tissue (intramyocardial, intrarenal, and ischemic hind limb), and ocular administration. Finally, we give a brief perspective about the prospects and challenges in this field.

Novel PVA-Based Microspheres Co-Loaded with Photothermal Transforming Agent and Chemotherapeutic for Colorectal Cancer Treatment. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13070984. [PMID: 34209684 PMCID: PMC8309159 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13070984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Revised: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously designed an electrospinning chitosan (CS) nanofiber-based carrier, using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as an adjuvant to deliver doxorubicin (DOX) and MoS2 nanosheets for postoperative tumor re-occurrence inhibition. However, owing to that the nanofibrous mat is un-injectable, this composite nanofiber is far from being clinically applicable. MATERIALS AND METHODS Via modulating the electrospray parameters, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) beads string doped with DOX and MoS2 (PVA/MoS2/DOX microspheres) were prepared, which were further crosslinked with glutaraldehyde to obtain the water-stability. RESULTS Under the 808-nm laser irradiation, MoS2 nanosheets rendered the prepared PVA/MoS2/DOX microspheres an excellent light-to-heat conversion performance with η of 23.2%. Besides, the heat generated by near-infrared laser irradiation can improve the effect of chemotherapy by promoting the release rate of DOX. HT29 cell and tumor-bearing nude mice were used to systematically study the combined tumor treatment efficiency of composite nanospheres. CONCLUSION PVA/MoS2/DOX nanospheres have excellent photothermal effect and chemotherapy effect, which can completely suppress the tumor recurrence. Therefore, the PVA/MoS2/DOX nanospheres are anticipated to find potential applications in the treatment of local colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Ferritin naturally exists in most organisms and can specifically recognize the transferrin 1 receptor (TfR1), which is generally highly expressed on various types of tumor cells. The pH dependent reversible assembling and disassembling property of ferritin renders it as a suitable candidate for encapsulating a variety of anticancer drugs and imaging probes. Ferritins external surface is chemically and genetically modifiable which can serve as attachment site for tumor specific targeting peptides or moieties. Moreover, the biological origin of these protein cages makes it a biocompatible nanocarrier that stabilizes and protects the enclosed particles from the external environment without provoking any toxic or immunogenic responses. Recent studies, further establish ferritin as a multifunctional nanocarrier for targeted cancer chemotherapy and phototherapy. In this review, we introduce the favorable characteristics of ferritin drug carriers, the specific targeted surface modification and a multifunctional nanocarriers combined chemotherapy with phototherapy for tumor treatment. Taken together, ferritin is a potential ideal base of engineered nanoparticles for tumor therapy and still needs to explore more on its way.

Abstract
Therapeutic peptides have attracted significant attention in clinical applications due to their advantages in biological origination and good biocompatibility. However, the therapeutic performance of peptides is usually hindered by their short half-lives in blood and inferior activity. Herein, supramolecular nanodrugs of therapeutic peptides are constructed by covalent assembly of chemotherapeutic peptides through genipin cross-linking. The resulting nanodrugs have intense absorbance in the near-infrared region and high photothermal conversion efficiencies, leading to the possibility of photothermal therapy. The combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy using the nanodrugs shows synergistic therapeutic effects on cancer cells. Hence, covalent assembly not only maintains the chemotherapeutic activities of the peptides but also triggers supramolecular photothermal effects, demonstrating that the covalent assembly of therapeutic peptides through genipin cross-linking is an efficient approach in constructing supramolecular nanodrugs toward synergistic anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Current strategies for the design of antibacterial peptides show limitations in the development of assembled antibacterial peptides due to the challenges in simultaneously balancing the antibacterial activity and assembling behavior. Herein, we report on one strategy for the design of antibacterial peptides derived from virulent amyloids and investigate their self-assembly into nanostructures with remarkable antibacterial activity. The peptides were either directly truncated from virulent amyloid peptide PSM α3 or mutated from the original sequence by replacing the lysine and phenylalanine residues with arginine or tryptophan, leading to three undecapeptides. Conformational and morphological results indicated the formation of nanotubes and twisted nanoribbons by the truncated peptide and the mutated peptide, respectively, predominately driven by anti-parallel β-sheets. Bacterial culturing experiments revealed that the two mutated peptides possessed remarkable antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by disrupting the bacterial membrane at a concentration above their critical aggregation concentrations, thus leading to two nanoantibacterials. Our findings demonstrate that biomimetic peptides originated from virulent amyloids exhibit great potential in the development of assembled antibacterial peptides, thus providing a new strategy for simultaneously addressing the antibacterial activity and pharmacokinetics of natural antibacterial peptides in the future.

Abstract
The natural biomolecules of peptides and proteins are able to form elegant metal incorporating supramolecular nanomaterials through multiple weak non-covalent interactions. The use of toxic chemical reagents to fabricate silver nanoparticles poses a danger to apply them in various biomedical applications. Peptide and protein biomolecules have the potential to overcome this barrier by the supramolecular chemistry approach. In this review, we focus on the self-assembly of peptides and proteins to synthesize silver incorporating supramolecular nanoarchitectures, which in turn enhance the biological properties of these silver nanomaterials being used in nanomedicine. This review aims to illustrate the recent developments in amphiphilic peptides, oligopeptides, collagen, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and human serum albumin (HSA) as capping, stabilizing, and reducing agents to form silver incorporating supramolecular nanostructures. Finally, we provide some biomedical applications of silver-incorporating supramolecular nanomaterials along with future perspectives.

Abstract
Supermolecularly assembled photochemotherapeutic nanocomposites composed of pure drug small molecules are promising for synergistically improved tumor therapy, yet potential multiple challenges remain to be addressed. Herein, we rationally designed a novel multifunctional small molecule disulfide modified natural pentacyclic triterpene of ursolic acid (UASS) that simultaneously possesses self-assembly ability, glutathione (GSH) responsivity, anticancer activity, biocompatibility and biodegradability and further constructed carrier-free GSH-sensitive photosensitive nanocomposite UASS-Ce6 NPs for safe and synergistically improved chemophototherapy. Specifically, UASS-Ce6 NPs exhibit improved 1O2 generation by reducing the energy gap (ΔEST) of Ce6 as determined by density functional theory. Meanwhile, molecular dynamics simulation revealed the possible reasons why free UASS self-assembles and UASS-Ce6 NPs with different assembled morphologies may be primarily attributed to the coplanar arrangement of UASS dimer units. Importantly, via noncovalent π-stacking and hydrophobic interactions, the resulting co-assemblies showed improved water solubility, increased intercellular ROS generation, desirable GSH sensibility, excellent biocompatibility, and enhanced tumor accumulation accompanied by rapid biodegradation, thus leading to significant in vitro and in vivo synergistic antitumor efficacy with favorable biosafety. This study provides a promising insight into the development of a self-assembled active single component platform with desirable stimuli responsiveness and biosafety toward synergistic antitumor therapy based on terpenoid natural small molecules.

Abstract
Self-assembly peptide materials have promoted the development of science research including life science, optics, medicine, and catalysis over the past two decades. Especially in tumor treatment, peptide self-assembly strategies have exhibited promising potential by their high degree of biocompatibility, construction modularization, and diversity in structure controllability. Driven by physical and chemical triggers, peptides can self-assemble in vivo to form fibers, spheres, hydrogels, or ribbons to achieve predeterminate biological functions. Peptide self-assembly triggered by chemical reactions provides superior specificity and intelligent responsiveness to produce assembly-induced biological effects in target regions. Herein, from the perspective of triggers of peptide assembly, we briefly review the applications of in vivo peptide self-assembly strategies for tumor treatment, including tumor-pathology-factor-induced chemical reactions and bio-orthogonal reactions.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced phototherapy through NIR agents has demonstrated the great potential for cancer therapy. However, insufficient tumor killing due to the nonuniform heat or cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) distribution over tumors from phototherapy results in tumor recurrence and inferior outcomes. To achieve high tumor killing efficacy, one of the solutions is to employ the combinational treatment of phototherapy with other modalities, especially with chemotherapeutic agents. In this paper, a simple and effective multimodal therapeutic system was designed via combining chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to achieve the polytherapy of malignant glioma which is one of the most aggressive tumors in the brain. IR-780 (IR780) dye-labeled tube-forming peptoids (PepIR) were synthesized and self-assembled into crystalline nanotubes (PepIR nanotubes). These PepIR nanotubes showed an excellent efficacy for PDT/PTT because the IR780 photosensitizers were effectively packed and separated from each other within crystalline nanotubes by tuning IR780 density; thus, a self-quenching of these IR780 molecules was significantly reduced. Moreover, the efficient DOX loading achieved due to the nanotube large surface area contributed to an efficient and synergistic chemotherapy against glioma cells. Given the unique properties of peptoids and peptoid nanotubes, we believe that the developed multimodal DOX-loaded PepIR nanotubes in this work offer great promises for future glioma therapy in clinic.

[PMID: 33989692 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2021.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2021] [Revised: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Considerable attention has been devoted to nanomedicine development for breast cancer therapy, while the therapeutic efficiency is far from satisfactory owing to non-specific biodistribution-caused side effects and limitation of single modal treatment. In this study, we have developed a novel nanomedicine for efficient combination breast cancer therapy. This nanomedicine was based on copper-doped layered double hydroxide (Cu-LDH) nanoparticles loaded with two FDA-approved anticancer drugs, i.e. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and albumin-bound paclitaxel (nAb-PTX) with complementary chemotherapeutic actions. The 5-FU/Cu-LDH@nAb-PTX nanomedicine showed pH-sensitive heat-facilitated therapeutic on-demand release and demonstrated the moderate-to-strong synergy of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy in inducing apoptosis of breast cancer cells (4 T1). This nanomedicine had a high colloidal stability in saline and serum, and efficiently accumulated in the tumor tissue. Remarkably, this nanomedicine nearly eliminated 4 T1 tumors in vivo after a two-course treatment under mild 808 nm laser irradiation (0.75 W/cm2, 3 min) at very low doses of 5-FU and nAb-PTX (0.25 and 0.50 mg/kg, 8-50 times less than that used in other nanoformulations), without observable side effects. Therefore, this research provides a novel approach to designing multifunctional nanomedicines for on-demand release of chemotherapeutics to cost-effectively treat breast cancer with minimal side effects in future clinic applications.

Nanobody modified high-performance AIE photosensitizer nanoparticles for precise photodynamic oral cancer therapy of patient-derived tumor xenograft. Biomaterials 2021; 274:120870. [PMID: 34020268 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2021.120870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2020] [Revised: 04/24/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising noninvasive treatment option for patients suffering from superficial tumors, such as oral cancer. However, for photosensitizers (PSs), it remains a grand challenge to simultaneously excel in all the key performance indicators including effective singlet oxygen (1O2) generation under clinical laser, specific targeting function and stable far-red (FR)/near-infrared (NIR) emission with low dark toxicity. In addition, traditional PS nanoparticles (NPs) for clinical use suffer from quenched fluorescence and reduced 1O2 production caused by molecular aggregation. To address these issues, AIEPS5 with aggregation-induced FR/NIR emission and effective 1O2 generation under 532 nm laser irradiation is designed by precise optimization of the chemical structure. By attaching a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain onto AIEPS5, the yielded amphiphilic AIEPS5-PEG2000 can spontaneously self-assemble into water dispersible NPs, which are further endowed with targeted delivery function via the decoration of anti-Her-2 nanobody (NB). The bespoke AIEPS5-NPs-NB exhibit effective 1O2 generation capability, bright FR/NIR emission centered at 680 nm, and negligible dark toxicity, which outperform Heimbofen, a clinically approved PS in PDT using a patient-derived tumor xenograft model.

Abstract
Peptide/protein therapeutics have been significantly applied in the clinical treatment of various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, etc. owing to their high biocompatibility, specificity, and therapeutic efficacy. However, due to their immunogenicity, instability stemming from its complex tertiary and quaternary structure, vulnerability to enzyme degradation, and rapid renal clearance, the clinical application of protein/peptide therapeutics is significantly confined. Though nanotechnology has been demonstrated to prevent enzyme degradation of the protein therapeutics and thus enhance the half-life, issues such as initial burst release and uncontrollable release kinetics are still unsolved. Moreover, the traditional administration method results in poor patient compliance, limiting the clinical application of protein/peptide therapeutics. Exploiting the sustained-release formulations for more controllable delivery of protein/peptide therapeutics to decrease the frequency of injection and enhance patient compliance is thus greatly meaningful. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the substantial advancements of protein/peptide sustained-release systems in the past decades. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of all these sustained-release systems in clinical application together with their future challenges are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Small molecular dye that simultaneously exerts dual PDT/PTT effects as well as florescence imaging triggered by a single NIR-II light has never been reported to date. Apart from the huge challenge in pushing absorption profile into NIR-II region, fine-tuning dyes' excited state via rational structure design to meet all three functions, especially oxygen photosensitization, remains the most prominent throttle. Herein, five novel NIR-II dyes (BHs) are productively developed by strategically conjugating dyad innovative xanthonium with sequentially extended polymethine bridges, enabling intense absorption from 890 to 1206 nm, significantly 400 nm longer than conventional cyanine dyes with same polymethines. More importantly, owning to high resonance and favorable excited state energy population induced by greater rigidity via ring-fused amino, BH 1024 exhibits best singlet oxygen generation capability, moderate photothermal heating, and considerable fluorescence under 1064 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, BH 1024 is encapsulated into folate-functionalized polymer, which demonstrated a synergetic PDT/PTT effect in vitro and in vivo, eventually achieving solid tumors elimination under NIR-II fluorescence guide. As far as it is known, this is the first time small molecular dyes for NIR-II PDT or NIR-II PDT/PTT are explored and designed.

Abstract
In recent years, nanotechnology has attracted attention for its capability to diagnose and remedy diverse tumors successfully. Protein nanocarriers as a platform of targeted drug delivery can be used to reduce toxicity and improve the effect of anticancer drugs. Idarubicin (IDR) is a chemotherapy drug that is classified as an anthracycline antitumor. In this study, IDR was encapsulated within horse spleen apoferritin (HsAFr) nanocarriers. Encapsulation was obtained through disassembling apoferritin into subunits at pH 2 and subsequently reassembling it at pH 7.4 in the presence of IDR. Transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques showed that drug molecules are loaded within apoferritin. Intrinsic fluorescence information exhibited that the encapsulation does not have any effects on the tertiary structure of the protein. Drug loading and entrapment efficiency were found to be 7.15% and 84.75%, respectively. Comparison of anticancer activities in HsAFr-IDR and free drug IDR was made via the MTT viability technique in a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7).

Abstract
Self-assembly is a powerful means to fabricate multifunctional smart nanotheranostics. However, the complicated preparation, toxicity of responsive carriers, and low loading efficiency of drug cargo hinder the outcome. Herein, we developed a responsive carrier-free noncovalent self-assembly strategy of a metallized Au(III) tetra-(4-pyridyl) porphine (AuTPyP) anticancer drug for the preparation of a heat/acid dual-stimulated nanodrug, and it generated a better photothermal effect than monomers under irradiation. The photothermal effect promoted the protonation of the hydrophobic pyridyl group and the following release into tumorous acidic microenvironments. With cRGD modification, the released drug induced the aggravation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the activity inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Imaging-guided phototherapy, including photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy, has been emerging as a promising avenue for precision cancer treatment. However, the utilization of a single laser to induce combination phototherapy and multiple-model imaging remains a great challenge. Herein, we report, the first of its kind, a covalent-organic framework (COF)-based magnetic core-shell nanocomposite, Fe3O4@COF-DhaTph, that is used as a multifunctional nanoagent for cancer theranostics under single 660 nm NIR irradiation. Besides significant photothermal and photodynamic effects, it still permits triple-modal magnetic resonance/photoacoustic/near-infrared thermal (IR) imaging due to its unequaled magnetic and optical performance. We believe that the results obtained herein could obviously promote the application of COF-based multifunctional nanomaterials in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Exosomes are a class of cell-secreted, nano-sized extracellular vesicles with a bilayer membrane structure of 30-150 nm in diameter. Their discovery and application have brought breakthroughs in numerous areas, such as liquid biopsies, cancer biology, drug delivery, immunotherapy, tissue repair, and cardiovascular diseases. Isolation of exosomes is the first step in exosome-related research and its applications. Standard benchtop exosome separation and sensing techniques are tedious and challenging, as they require large sample volumes, multi-step operations that are complex and time-consuming, requiring cumbersome and expensive instruments. In contrast, microfluidic platforms have the potential to overcome some of these limitations, owing to their high-precision processing, ability to handle liquids at a microscale, and integrability with various functional units, such as mixers, actuators, reactors, separators, and sensors. These platforms can optimize the detection process on a single device, representing a robust and versatile technique for exosome separation and sensing to attain high purity and high recovery rates with a short processing time. Herein, we overview microfluidic strategies for exosome isolation based on their hydrodynamic properties, size filtration, acoustic fields, immunoaffinity, and dielectrophoretic properties. We focus especially on advances in label-free isolation of exosomes with active biological properties and intact morphological structures. Further, we introduce microfluidic techniques for the detection of exosomal proteins and RNAs with high sensitivity, high specificity, and low detection limits. We summarize the biomedical applications of exosome-mediated therapeutic delivery targeting cancer cells. To highlight the advantages of microfluidic platforms, conventional techniques are included for comparison. Future challenges and prospects of microfluidics towards exosome isolation applications are also discussed. Although the use of exosomes in clinical applications still faces biological, technical, regulatory, and market challenges, in the foreseeable future, recent developments in microfluidic technologies are expected to pave the way for tailoring exosome-related applications in precision medicine.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a treatment combining laser irradiation and a photothermal transduction agent (PTA) to generate hyperthermia, which is used to efficiently and effectively treat cancer and prevent bacteria-induced infectious diseases. MoS2, an increasingly used two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide, which shows high absorbance in the near infrared (NIR) laser region, has been extensively utilized as a novel PTA in biomedical applications. The use of MoS2 as an advanced photoabsorbing agent has introduced a more efficient cancer therapy and improved antibacterial efficacy. In this review, we firstly summarize the recent advances in the MoS2-based platform for PTT in cancer and bacteria-induced infectious diseases treatments. We then discuss that the combination of MoS2-based PTT and other biomedical methods along with multimodality imaging, such as chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and immunotherapy, might be a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Furthermore, a new concept is proposed wherein MoS2-based PTT and combined therapies based on this could be more effective for the treatment of various bacteria-induced infectious diseases. Finally, research progress, challenges, and perspectives for the future development of this MoS2-based platform in cancer and bacteria-induced infectious disease treatments are discussed and concluded. Collectively, we think that MoS2-based PTT with high therapeutic efficacy and minimal side-effects could be potentially applied in clinical settings to improve cancer and infectious disease treatments.

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment of tumors are highly significant in battling cancer. Near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging shows big promise for deep tumor visualization in living systems due to high temporal and spatial resolution and deep tissue penetration capability, whereas the development of efficient NIR-II probes for tumor theranostics still faces a huge challenge. Herein, we have designed and constructed intelligent mPEG5000-PCL3000-encapsulated NIR-II nanoprobe ZM1068-NPs that showed great chemical stability and excellent biocompatibility. With the merits of the strong fluorescence in the NIR-II region and prominent optical-thermal conversion efficiency, this probe was successfully used for NIR-II imaging-guided surgery and photothermal therapy of breast carcinoma in living mice. More notably, it was for the first time found that ZM1068 dyes could be covalently on-site-immobilized within tumors through the thiol-chlor nucleophilic substitution reaction, resulting in improved tumor accumulation and retention time. We thus envision that this probe may provide an attractive means for precise cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Herein, a functional class of microenvironment-associated nanomaterials is reported for improving the second near-infrared (NIR-II) imaging and photothermal therapeutic effect on intracranial tumors via a spontaneous membrane-adsorption approach. Specific peptides, photothermal agents, and biological alkylating agents were designed to endow the nanogels with high targeting specificity, photothermal properties, and pharmacological effects. Importantly, the frozen scanning electron microscopy technology (cryo-SEM) was utilized to observe the self-association of nanomaterials on tumor cells. Interestingly, the spontaneous membrane-adsorption behavior of nanomaterials was captured through direct imaging evidence. Histological analysis showed that the cross-linking adhesion in intracranial tumor and monodispersity in normal tissues of the nanogels not only enhanced the retention time but also ensured excellent biocompatibility. Impressively, in vivo data confirmed that the microenvironment-associated nanogels could significantly enhance brain tumor clearance rate within a short treatment timeframe (only two weeks). In short, utilizing the spontaneous membrane-adsorption strategy can significantly improve NIR-II diagnosis and phototherapy in brain diseases while avoiding high-risk complications.

Abstract
Engineering photosensitizers into stimuli-responsive supramolecular nanodrugs allows enhanced spatiotemporal delivery and controllable release of photosensitizers, which is promising for dedicated and precise tumor photodynamic therapy. Complicated fabrication for nanodrugs with good tumor accumulation capability and the undesirable side-effects caused by the drug components retards the application of PDT in vivo. The fact that extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is overexpressed in tumor tissue has been overlooked in fabricating nanomedicines for tumor-targeting delivery. Hence, herein we present metal-free helical nanofibers formed in aqueous solution from the coassembly of a cationic porphyrin and ATP as a nanodrug for PDT. The easily accessible and compatible materials and simple preparation enable the nanodrugs with potential in PDT for cancer. Compared to the cationic porphyrin alone, the porphyrin-ATP nanofibers exhibited enhanced tumor-site photosensitizer delivery through whole-body blood circulation. Overexpressed extracellular ATP stabilizes the porphyrin-ATP nanodrug within tumor tissue, giving rise to enhanced uptake of the nanodrug by cancer cells. The enzyme-triggered release of photosensitizers from the nanodrugs upon biodegradation of ATP by intracellular phosphatases results in good tumor therapeutic efficacy. This study demonstrates the potential for employing the tumor microenvironment to aid the accumulation of nanodrugs in tumors, inspiring the fabrication of smart nanomedicines.

Abstract
Enzyme-loaded nanosystems with multimodal therapeutic functions have received increasing attention in the treatment of malignant tumors. Herein, we designed and prepared cascaded dual-enzyme-augmented Fe-hemoporfin framework nanosonosensitizers for synergistic sonodynamic-starvation therapy of tumors. Amorphous Fe-hemoporfin frameworks (FeHF) with an average size of ∼85 nm were synthesized by assembling the clinical drug hemoporfin with Fe3+ ions. Then, FeHF was used to load dual enzymes (glucose oxidase (GOx) and catalase (CAT)) and modified by PEGylated folic acid-conjugated lipids. The dual-enzyme loaded FeHF (FeHF-GOx/CAT) exhibited higher efficiency not only for glucose depletion but also for ultrasound (US)-triggered 1O2 generation than that of pure FeHF, resulting from the cascaded catalytic reaction from the dual-enzyme system. As observed by magnetic resonance imaging, the intravenously injected FeHF-GOx/CAT was accumulated within tumors. The FeHF-GOx/CAT + US exhibited the highest inhibition effect compared to the FeHF-CAT + US (only SDT) or FeHF-GOx/CAT (only starvation therapy), due to the synergistic effects of SDT and starvation therapy. Therefore, the cascaded dual-enzyme loading strategy can increase the SDT efficiency of FeHF, which may guide further works in the development of efficient nanosonosensitizers.

Abstract
As low-molecular-weight hydrogelators, dipeptide hydrogel materials are suited for embedding multiple organic molecules and inorganic nanoparticles. Herein, a simple but precisely controllable method is presented that enables the fabrication of dipeptide-based hydrogels by supramolecular assembly inside microfluidic channels. Water-soluble quantum dots (QDs) as well as premixed porphyrins and a dipeptide in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were injected into a Y-shaped microfluidic junction. At the DMSO/water interface, the confined fabrication of a dipeptide-based hydrogel was initiated. Thereafter, the as-formed hydrogel flowed along a meandering microchannel in a continuous fashion, gradually completing gelation and QD entrapment. In contrast to hydrogelation in conventional test tubes, microfluidically controlled hydrogelation led to a tailored dipeptide hydrogel regarding material morphology and nanoparticle distribution.

Abstract
Despite that great progression has been made in nanoparticulate drug delivery systems (nano-DDS), multiple drug delivery dilemmas still impair the delivery efficiency of nanomedicines. Rational design of smart transformable nano-DDS based on the in vivo drug delivery process represents a promising strategy for overcoming delivery obstacle of nano-DDS. In recent years, tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing smart transformable anticancer nanomedicines. Herein, we provide a review to outline the advances in this emerging field. First, smart size-reducible nanoparticles (NPs) for deep tumor penetration are summarized, including carrier degradation-induced, protonation-triggered and photobleaching-induced size reduction. Second, emerging transformable nanostructures for various therapeutic applications are discussed, including prolonging tumor retention, reversing drug-resistance, inhibiting tumor metastasis, preventing tumor recurrence and non-pharmaceutical therapy. Third, shell-detachable nanocarriers are introduced, focusing on chemical bonds breaking-initiated, charge repulsion-mediated and exogenous stimuli-triggered shell detachment approaches. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges of transformable nanomedicines in clinical cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
To address long-standing issues with tumor penetration and targeting among cancer therapeutics, we developed an anticancer platelet-based biomimetic formulation (N+R@PLTs), integrating photothermal nanoparticles (N) and immunostimulator (R) into platelets (PLTs). Exploiting the aggregative properties of platelets and high photothermal capacity, N+R@PLTs functioned as an arsenal by targeting defective tumor vascular endothelial cells, accumulating in a positive feedback aggregation cascade at sites of acute vascular damage induced by N-generated local hyperthermia, and subsequently secreting nanosized proplatelets (nPLTs) to transport active components to deep tumor tissue. The immunostimulator augmented the immunogenicity of antigens released from ablated tumors, inducing a stronger immunological response to attack residual, metastatic, and recurrent tumors. Following activation by low-power near-infrared light irradiation, the photothermal and immunological components synergistically provide exceptionally high therapeutic efficacy across nine murine models that mimicked a range of clinical requirements, and, most notably, a sophisticated model based on humanized mouse and patient-derived tumor xenograft.

Abstract
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are present in many types of tumors and play a pivotal role in tumor progression and immunosuppression. Fibroblast-activation protein (FAP), which is overexpressed on CAFs, has been indicated as a universal tumor target. However, FAP expression is not restricted to tumors, and systemic treatment against FAP often causes severe side effects. To solve this problem, a photodynamic therapy (PDT) approach was developed based on ZnF16Pc (a photosensitizer)-loaded and FAP-specific single chain variable fragment (scFv)-conjugated apoferritin nanoparticles, or αFAP-Z@FRT. αFAP-Z@FRT PDT efficiently eradicates CAFs in tumors without inducing systemic toxicity. When tested in murine 4T1 models, the PDT treatment elicits anti-cancer immunity, causing suppression of both primary and distant tumors, i.e. abscopal effect. Treatment efficacy is enhanced when αFAP-Z@FRT PDT is used in combination with anti-PD1 antibodies. Interestingly, it is found that the PDT treatment not only elicits a cellular immunity against cancer cells, but also stimulates an anti-CAFs immunity. This is supported by an adoptive cell transfer study, where T cells taken from 4T1-tumor-bearing animals treated with αFAP PDT retard the growth of A549 tumors established on nude mice. Overall, our approach is unique for permitting site-specific eradication of CAFs and inducing a broad spectrum anti-cancer immunity.

Abstract
To develop highly efficient photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, herein a zinc(II) phthalocyanine-folate conjugate (PcN-FA) used to construct an activatable nanophotosensitizer (NanoPcN-FA) through a facile self-assembly. The self-assembled nanophotosensitizer (NanoPcN) without folate-modification was used as a negative control. After self-assembly, the photoactivities of NanoPcN-FA was quenched. The in vitro studies showed that NanoPcN-FA could be taken in by folate-receptor (FR)-positive SKOV3 cells and activated in the cells. It also exhibited slightly higher photocytotoxicity against SKOV3 cells than NanoPcN. Moreover, the competitive assay confirmed that the cellular uptake of NanoPcN-FA was through a FR-mediated process. Finally, the in vivo results indicated that NanoPcN-FA could target tumor tissue of S180 rat ascitic tumor-bearing mice due to the folic acid (FA) ligand, leading to a highly efficient antitumor photodynamic efficacy with the tumor inhibition rate of 95%.

Abstract
Phototherapy is widely applied to various human diseases. Nanomedicine-based phototherapy can be classified into photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). Activated photosensitizer kills the target cells by generating radicals or reactive oxygen species in PDT while generating heat in PTT. Both PDT and PTT have been employed for treating various diseases, from preclinical to randomized controlled clinical trials. However, there are still hurdles to overcome before entering clinical practice. This review provides an overview of nanomedicine-based phototherapy, especially in non-oncologic diseases. Multiple clinical trials were undertaken to prove the therapeutic efficacy of PDT in dermatologic, ophthalmologic, cardiovascular, and dental diseases. Preclinical studies showed the feasibility of PDT in neurologic, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and musculoskeletal diseases. A few clinical studies of PTT were tried in atherosclerosis and dry eye syndrome. Although most studies have shown promising results, there have been limitations in specificity, targeting efficiency, and tissue penetration using phototherapy. Recently, nanomaterials have shown promising results to overcome these limitations. With advanced technology, nanomedicine-based phototherapy holds great potential for broader clinical practice.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using oxygen, light, and photosensitizers has been receiving great attention, because it has potential for making up for the weakness of the existing therapies such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. It has been mainly used to treat cancer, and clinical tests for second-generation photosensitizers with improved physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetic profiles, or singlet oxygen quantum yield have been conducted. Progress is also being made in cancer theranostics by using fluorescent signals generated by photosensitizers. In order to obtain the effective cytotoxic effects on the target cells and prevent off-target side effects, photosensitizers need to be localized to the target tissue. The use of nanocarriers combined with photosensitizers can enhance accumulation of photosensitizers in the tumor site, owing to preferential extravasation of nanoparticles into the tumor vasculature by the enhanced permeability and retention effect. Self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers provide good loading efficiency and sustained release of hydrophobic photosensitizers. In addition, prodrug nanomedicines for PDT can be activated by stimuli in the tumor site. In this review, we introduce current limitations and recent progress in nanomedicine for PDT and discuss the expected future direction of research.

Abstract
Intracellular self-assembly (ISA) is a versatile and powerful strategy for in situ constructing sophisticated and functional supramolecular nanostructures, which has been widely applied in biomedicine and biomedical engineering. Among the common building blocks for ISA, peptides have attracted increasingly attention due to their intrinsic bioactivity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Particularly, by conjugating functional motifs (e.g., probes or drugs) to peptides to yield the peptide conjugates, the latter show enhanced stability and efficiency, and probably new functions. In recent years, employing ISA of peptide conjugates for tumor imaging and treatment has achieved great progresses. Therefore, the recent progress of ISA of peptide conjugates is summarized in this progress report. Moreover, several examples of ISA of peptide conjugates for other important imaging or therapeutic applications are also introduced. Finally, a brief perspective on remaining challenges and potential directions for future research in this area is presented.

Abstract
Phototherapy, a type of photoresponsive regulation of biological activities, together with additional stimuli-responsive features, offers significant potential for enhancing the precision and efficacy of cancer treatments. To achieve tumor-specific therapeutics, numerous studies have focused on the development of smart phototherapeutic nanomaterials (PNMs) that can respond to endogenous pathological characteristics (e. g., mild acidity, the overproduction of glutathione, the overproduction of hydrogen peroxide, the overexpression of specific surface receptors, etc.) present in the tumor and/or exogenous stimuli. Such responsiveness can effectively improve the physicochemical properties, cellular uptake, tumor-targeting performance, and pharmacokinetic profile of PNMs. Herein, we will systematically discuss recent advances in this field. Moreover, potential challenges and future directions in the development of stimuli-responsive PNMs are also presented to support the development of this emerging cutting-edge research area.

Abstract
Self-delivery of photosensitizer and immune modulator to tumor site is highly recommendable to improve the photodynamic immunotherapy yet remains challenging. Herein, self-delivery photoimmune stimulators (designated as iPSs) are developed for photodynamic sensitized tumor immunotherapy. Carrier-free iPSs are constructed by optimizing the noncovalent interactions between the pure drugs of chlorine e6 (Ce6) and NLG919, which avoid the excipients-raised toxicity and immunogenicity. Intravenously administrated iPSs prefer to passively accumulate on tumor tissues for a robust photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the induction of immunogenetic cell death (ICD) cascade to activate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and initiate antitumor immune response. Meanwhile, the concomitant delivery of NLG919 inhibits the activation of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) to reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Ultimately, the photodynamic sensitized immunotherapy with iPSs efficiently inhibit the primary and distant tumor growth with a low system toxicity, which would shed light on the development of self-delivery nanomedicine for clinical transformation in tumor precision therapy.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment plays a pivotal role in the growth and metastasis of tumors, and has become a promising target for precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Herein, a novel smart NIR theranostic probe Cy-1 that can simultaneously respond to low intracellular pH and reductive glutathione (GSH) is reported. This probe has demonstrated to be able to intermolecularly undergo a biologically compatible CBT-Cys condensation reaction to selectively form large nanoaggregates in the tumor microenvironment resulting in its enhanced accumulation and retention in the tumor, which as a consequence significantly improves the sensitivity of NIR/photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapeutic efficacy of tumors in living mice. We thus believe that this dual stimuli-mediated self-assembly strategy may offer a promising and universal platform for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Light is a particularly appealing tool for on-demand drug delivery due to its noninvasive nature, ease of application and exquisite temporal and spatial control. Great progress has been achieved in the development of novel light-driven drug delivery strategies with both breadth and depth. Light-controlled drug delivery platforms can be generally categorized into three groups: photochemical, photothermal, and photoisomerization-mediated therapies. Various advanced materials, such as metal nanoparticles, metal sulfides and oxides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanomaterials, upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, stimuli-responsive micelles, polymer- and liposome-based nanoparticles have been applied for light-stimulated drug delivery. In view of the increasing interest in on-demand targeted drug delivery, we review the development of light-responsive systems with a focus on recent advances, key limitations, and future directions.

Abstract
Integrating biological detection and treatment into one system is a smart therapeutic maneuver for efficient cancer treatment. Herein, a target-activated core-satellite nanostructure (CS nanostructure) assembly built on gold nanobipyramids motor (AuNBPs motor)/gold nanoparticle probe (AuNP probe) exhibiting simultaneous dual signal-on imaging, quantification of intracellular microRNA-21 (miR-21), and photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer is designed. Of note, when the AuNBPs motor/AuNP probe enters into cells, miR-21 triggers the reaction between AuNBPs motor and AuNP probe, resulting in the formation of CS nanostructure assembly. The process of assembling the CS nanostructure is accompanied with strong fluorescent signals from TAMRA and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals from adenine. The fluorescent signal is leveraged to image the intracellular miR-21 level, whereas the SERS signal is utilized for absolute quantification of intracellular miR-21, and the CS nanostructure acts as the photosensitizer for PTT. This strategy can successfully image and quantify miR-21 in a single cell, and also distinguish normal cells from tumor cells. Moreover, under the guidance of fluorescence signal, the assembly kills tumor cells and inhibits tumor growth via PTT. In vitro and in vivo results prove that the proposed strategy possesses enormous potential for application in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Numerous nanomedicines have been developed to improve the efficiency and safety of conventional anticancer drugs; however, the complexities in carrier materials and functional integration make it challenging to promote these candidates for clinical translation. In this study, a facile method to prepare carrier-free anticancer nanodrug with inherent bone targeting and osteoclastogenesis inhibition capabilities is reported. Phytic acid, a naturally occurring and nontoxic product, is reacted with cisplatin to form uniform nanoparticles of different sizes. The prepared nanoparticles possess high drug loading and pH-responsive drug release behaviors. Phytic acid in the nanomedicine ensures high bone targeting and osteoclastogenesis inhibition, and the released platinum drugs triggered by tumor extracellular acidity eradicate tumor cells. The nanomedicine around 100 nm shows high anticancer activity and much reduced side effects in a subcutaneous breast cancer model when compared with cisplatin. In addition, it shows high accumulation at osteolytic lesions, and efficiently inhibits tumor growth and tumor-associated osteolysis in a bone metastatic breast cancer model. Here, a facile and efficient strategy to prepare carrier-free nanomedicines with high anticancer drug loading, inherent bone targeting, and osteoclast inhibitory activities for cancer therapy is provided.
