Abstract
Cancer is a highly intelligent system of cells, that works together with the body to thrive and subsequently overwhelm the host in order for its survival. Therefore, treatment regimens should be equally competent to outsmart these cells. Unfortunately, it is not the case with current therapeutic practices, the reason why it is still one of the most deadly adversaries and an imposing challenge to healthcare practitioners and researchers alike. With rapid nanotechnological interventions in the medical arena, the amalgamation of diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities into a single platform, theranostics provides a never before experienced hope of enhancing diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficiency. Additionally, the ability of these nanotheranostic agents to perform their actions on-demand, i.e. can be controlled by external stimulus such as light, magnetic field, sound waves and radiation has cemented their position as next generation anti-cancer candidates. Numerous reports exist of such stimuli-responsive theranostic nanomaterials against cancer, but few have broken through to clinical trials, let alone clinical practice. This review sheds light on the pros and cons of a few such theranostic nanomaterials, especially inorganic nanomaterials which do not require any additional chemical moieties to initiate the stimulus. The review will primarily focus on preclinical and clinical trial approved theranostic agents alone, describing their success or failure in the respective stages.

Abstract
Curing cancer has been one of the greatest conundrums in the modern medical field. To reduce side-effects associated with the traditional cancer therapy such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT) has been recognized as one of the most promising treatments for cancer over recent years. PTT relies on ablation agents such as nanomaterials with a photothermal effect, for converting light into heat. In this way, elevated temperature could kill cancer cells while avoiding significant side effects on normal cells. This theory works because normal cells have a higher heat tolerance than cancer cells. Thus, nanomaterials with photothermal effects have attracted enormous attention due to their selectivity and non-invasive attributes. This review article summarizes the current status of employing nanomaterials with photothermal effects for anti-cancer treatment. Mechanisms of the photothermal effect and various factors affecting photothermal performance will be discussed. Efficient and selective PTT is believed to play an increasingly prominent role in cancer treatment. Moreover, merging PTT with other methods of cancer therapies is also discussed as a future trend.

Abstract
Combating melanoma via topical route is a highly challenging task due to low selectivity, poor efficacy and impeding biological environment of the skin. In the present study, we engineered a chitosan based pH responsive biodegradable nanogel (FCNGL), encapsulated with 5-FU that was effective even at very low drug doses (0.2% w/v) against melanoma. The FCNGL was synthesized by ion gelation technique exhibited nano-size particle distribution and sustained drug release kinetics. Hemolysis and coagulation analysis revealed high safety whereas MTT and apoptosis assays exhibited the efficacy of FCNGL. DMBA-Croton oil Swiss albino mice model was employed for in vivo assessment followed by gamma scintigraphic screening. Tumor burden and pharmacokinetic antioxidant stress levels along with whole-body gamma scintigraphy imaging using 99 mTc labelled nanogel exhibited selective accumulation in melanoma tumor nodules. The pH responsive behaviour of the nanogels resulted in triggered release of 5-FU in slightly acidic microenvironment, resulting in selective drug accumulation at the melanoma site. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of tumor showed improvement of subcutaneous layer alignment and regeneration of the epithelial skin layer when compared with standard 5% 5-FU and control mice group. Overall our preclinical data using the FCNGL portends to be a promising platform for efficient and sustained delivery of 5-FU for topical chemotherapy that can result in high efficacy, patient compliance and safety in the clinical set up.

Abstract
Studies have shown a clear correlation between cancer incidence and infection, and cancer treatment can also trigger infection so as to lead to an inflammatory response. In this case, we have designed a new tumor treatment strategy based on biodegradable BSA@ZIF-8 for simultaneously ablating tumors and inhibiting infection. This biodegradable ZIF contains abundant porous structures, showing increased absorption of ions and inelastic collisions. A large amount of frictional heat produced by the collisions results in increased tumor cell death under microwave irradiation. This can effectively inhibit tumor growth in mice by microwave ablation with a good anti-tumor effect (95.4%). Intriguingly, the Zn2+ released from the degradation of BSA@ZIF-8 causes damage to bacterial cell walls, and destruction of the metabolism and structure of the membrane, leading to bacterial cell death, and ultimately achieving good antibacterial properties. Moreover, BSA@ZIF-8 is biodegradable without long-term toxicity in vivo. The in vivo experimental results show that BSA@ZIF-8 can protect 80% of the mice from lethal challenge with tumors and the accompanying infection. Overall, we present a novel strategy using biodegradable ZIFs for microwave ablation therapy with simultaneous antibacterial and anti-infection effects for the first time, which has achieved good tumor treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Metallic plasmonic nanoparticles have been intensively exploited as theranostic nanoprobes for plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPT) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications. But the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with PPT-induced apoptosis between cancerous and normal cells have remained largely unknown or disputed. In this study, we designed an organelle-targeting theranostic plasmonic SERS nanoprobe (CDs-Ag/Au NS) composed of porous Ag/Au nanoshell (p-Ag/Au NSs) and carbon dots (CDs) for nucleus and mitochondria targeted PPT of cells. The differences in molecular stress response in the PPT-induced hyperthermia cell death between cancerous HeLa and normal L929 and H8 cells have been revealed by site-specific single-cell SERS detection. The contents of tryptophan (Trp), phenylalanine (Phe), and tyrosine (Tyr) in HeLa cells were found more evidently increased than L929 and H8 cells during the PPT-induced cell-death process. And from the mitochondria point of view, we found that the PPT-induced cell apoptosis for HeLa cells mainly stems from (or is regulated through) cellular thermal stress-responsive proteins, while for L929 and H8 cells it seems more related to DNA. Understanding molecular stress response difference of the PPT-induced cell apoptosis between cancerous and normal cells is helpful for diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and the method will open an avenue for single-cell studies.

Abstract
Great and interdisciplinary research efforts have been devoted to the biomedical applications of 2D materials because of their unique planar structure and prominent physiochemical properties. Generally, ceramic-based biomaterials, fabricated by high-temperature solid-phase reactions, are preferred as bone scaffolds in hard tissue engineering because of their controllable biocompatibility and satisfactory mechanical property, but their potential biomedical applications in disease theranostics are paid much less attention, mainly due to their lack of related material functionalities for possibly entering and circulating within the vascular system. The emerging 2D MXenes, a family of ultrathin atomic nanosheet materials derived from MAX phase ceramics, are currently booming as novel inorganic nanosystems for biologic and biomedical applications. The metallic conductivity, hydrophilic nature, and other unique physiochemical performances make it possible for the 2D MXenes to meet the strict requirements of biomedicine. This work introduces the very recent progress and novel paradigms of 2D MXenes for state-of-the-art biomedical applications, focusing on the design/synthesis strategies, therapeutic modalities, diagnostic imaging, biosensing, antimicrobial, and biosafety issues. It is highly expected that the elaborately engineered ultrathin MXenes nanosheets will become one of the most attractive biocompatible inorganic nanoplatforms for multiple and extensive biomedical applications to profit the clinical translation of nanomedicine.

Abstract
The present manuscript reports the use of hybrid magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles (HMPNPs) based on iron oxide nanoparticles and Au nanorods as colloidal nanoheaters. The individual synthesis of the magnetic and plasmonic components allowed optimizing their features for heating performance separately, before they were hybridized. Besides, a detailed characterization and finite element simulations were carried out to explain the interaction effects observed between the phases of the HMPNPs. The study also analyzed the heating power of these nanostructures when they were excited with infrared light and AC magnetic fields, and compared this with the heating power of their plasmonic and magnetic components. In the latter case, the AC magnetization curves revealed that the magnetic dipolar interactions increase the amount of heat released by the hybrid nanostructures.

Abstract
Combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy has emerged as a promising anticancer strategy. Polysaccharide-based nanoparticles are being intensively explored as drug carriers for different forms of combination therapy. In this study, novel multifunctional polysaccharide-based nanocomplexes were prepared from aldehyde-functionalized hyaluronic acid and hydroxyethyl chitosan via sequential self-assembly method. Stable nanocomplexes were obtained through both Schiff's base bond and electrostatic interactions. Chemotherapeutics doxorubicin and pro-photosensitizer 5-aminolevulinic acid were chemically conjugated onto the nanocomplexes via Schiff base linkage. Anti-HER2 antibody as targeting moiety was decorated onto the surface of nanocomplexes. The obtained near-spherical shaped nanocomplexes had an average size of 140 nm and a zeta potential of -24.6 mV, and displayed pH-responsive surface charge reversal and drug release. Active targeting strategy significantly enhanced the cellular uptake of nanocomplexes and combined anticancer efficiency of chemo-photodynamic dual therapy in breast cancer MCF-7 cells. These results suggested that the nanocomplexes had great potential for targeted combination therapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has introduced new techniques and phototherapy approaches to fabricate and utilize nanoparticles for cancer therapy. These phototherapy approaches, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), hold great promise to overcome the limitations of traditional treatment methods. In phototherapy, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are of paramount importance due to their wide range of biomedical applications. This review discusses the basic concepts, various therapy approaches (PTT, PDT, magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), chemotherapy and immunotherapy), intrinsic properties, and mechanisms of cell death of IONPs; it also provides a brief overview of recent developments in IONPs, with focus on their therapeutic applications. Much attention is devoted to elaborating the various parameters, intracellular behaviors and limitations of MHT. Bimodal therapies which act alone or in combination with other modalities are also discussed. The review highlights some limitations in the explored research areas and suggests future directions to overcome these limitations.

Abstract
Light-activated therapies are ideal for treating cancer because they are non-invasive and highly specific to the area of light application. Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are two types of light-activated therapies that show great promise for treating solid tumors. In PTT, nanoparticles embedded within tumors emit heat in response to laser light that induces cancer cell death. In PDT, photosensitizers introduced to the diseased tissue transfer the absorbed light energy to nearby ground state molecular oxygen to produce singlet oxygen, which is a potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is toxic to cancer cells. Although PTT and PDT have been extensively evaluated as independent therapeutic strategies, they each face limitations that hinder their overall success. To overcome these limitations, we evaluated a dual PTT/PDT strategy for treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells mediated by a powerful combination of silica core/gold shell nanoshells (NSs) and palladium 10,10-dimethyl-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)biladiene-based (Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750) photosensitizers (PSs), which enable PTT and PDT, respectively. We found that dual therapy works synergistically to induce more cell death than either therapy alone. Further, we determined that low doses of light can be applied in this approach to primarily induce apoptotic cell death, which is vastly preferred over necrotic cell death. Together, our results show that dual PTT/PDT using silica core/gold shell NSs and Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750 PSs is a comprehensive therapeutic strategy to non-invasively induce apoptotic cancer cell death.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) represents a minimally invasive and highly localized treatment strategy to ablate tumors with few side effects. In PDT, photosensitizers embedded within tumors are activated by light and undergo intersystem crossing, followed by energy transfer to molecular oxygen, resulting in the production of toxic singlet oxygen (1O2). Previously, we reported a robust, linear tetrapyrrole palladium(II) complex, Pd[DMBil1], characterized by its facile and modular synthesis, broad absorption profile, and efficient 1O2 quantum yield of ΦΔ = 0.8 in organic media. However, the insolubility of this porphyrinoid derivative in aqueous solution prevents its use under biologically relevant conditions. In this work, we report the synthesis of Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750, a water-soluble dimethylbiladiene derivative that is appended with a poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) functionality. Characterization of this complex shows that this PEGylated biladiene architecture maintains the attractive photophysical properties of the parent complex under biologically relevant conditions. More specifically, the absorption profile of Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750 closely matches that of Pd[DMBil1] and obeys the Beer-Lambert Law, suggesting that the complex does not aggregate under biologically relevant conditions. Additionally, the emission spectrum of Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750 retains the fluorescence and phosphorescence features characteristic of Pd[DMBil1]. Importantly, the PEGylated photosensitizer generates 1O2 with ΦΔ = 0.57, which is well within the range to warrant interrogation as a potential PDT agent for treatment of cancer cells. The Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750 is biologically compatible, as it is taken up by MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and has an effective dose (ED50) of only 0.354 μM when exposed to λex > 500 nm light for 30 min. Impressively, the lethal dose (LD50) of Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750 without light exposure was measured to be 1.87 mM, leading to a remarkably high phototoxicity index of ∼5300, which is vastly superior to existing photosensitizers that form the basis for clinical PDT treatments. Finally, through flow cytometry experiments, we show that PDT with Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750 induces primarily apoptotic cell death in MDA-MB-231 cells. Overall these results demonstrate that Pd[DMBil1]-PEG750 is an easily prepared, biologically compatible, and well-tolerated photochemotherapeutic agent that can efficiently drive the photoinduced apoptotic death of TNBC cells.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are now commonly used as non-viral gene vectors for RNA interference (RNAi) in cancer therapy but suffer from low targeting efficiency in situ. Meanwhile, localized drug delivery systems do not offer the effective capability for intracellular gene transportation. We describe here the design and synthesis of a localized therapeutic system, consisting of gold nanorods (Au NRs) loaded with hTERT siRNA assembled on the surface of ZnGa2O4:Cr (ZGOC) nanofibers. This composite system offers the potential for a LED-induced mild photothermal effect which enhances the phagocytosis of Au NRs carrying siRNA and the subsequent release of siRNA in the cytoplasm. Both phenomena amplify the gene silencing effect and consequently offer the potential for a superior therapeutic outcome.

Abstract
Nanocomposites (NCs) of cupric sulfate monohydrate (CuSO4) were fabricated by hot-melt extrusion (HME) system equipped with twin screws. Micron-sized bulk powder of CuSO4 was dispersed in the mixture of surfactants (Span 80 and Tween 80) and hydrophilic polymer (polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000) by HME process. Reduction of surface tension by surfactants and homogeneous dispersion in hydrophilic polymer along with HME technique were introduced to prepare CuSO4 NCs. Dispersion of CuSO4 NCs exhibited approximately 204 nm hydrodynamic size, unimodal size distribution, and positive zeta potential values. Encapsulation of CuSO4 in CuSO4 NCs and the physicochemical interactions between CuSO4 and pharmaceutical excipients were investigated by solid-state studies. Of note, CuSO4 NCs group exhibited higher antiproliferation efficacies, compared with bulk CuSO4, in Caco-2 (human adenocarcinoma) cells at 75 and 100 μg/mL CuSO4 concentrations (p < 0.05). Also, near-infrared laser irradiation to CuSO4 NCs group elevated the antiproliferation efficacies, compared with non-irradiation group, in Caco-2 cells. After intravenous injection in mice, CuSO4 NCs did not show severe in vivo toxicities. Developed CuSO4 NCs can be one of promising candidates of photothermal therapeutic agents for colon cancers.

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

Abstract
The ability to regulate intracellular gene expression with exogenous nucleic acids such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has substantial potential to improve the study and treatment of disease. However, most transfection agents and nanoparticle-based carriers that are used for the intracellular delivery of nucleic acids cannot distinguish between diseased and healthy cells, which may cause them to yield unintended widespread gene regulation. An ideal delivery system would only silence targeted proteins in diseased tissue in response to an external stimulus. To enable spatiotemporal control over gene silencing, researchers have begun to develop nucleic acid-nanoparticle conjugates that keep their nucleic acid cargo inactive until it is released from the nanoparticle on-demand by externally applied near-infrared laser light. This strategy can overcome several limitations of other nucleic acid delivery systems, but the mechanisms by which these platforms operate remain ill understood. Here, we perform a detailed investigation of the mechanisms by which silica core/gold shell nanoshells (NSs) release conjugated siRNA upon excitation with either pulsed or continuous wave (CW) near-infrared (NIR) light, with the goal of providing insight into how these nanoconjugates can enable on-demand gene regulation. We demonstrate that siRNA release from NSs upon pulsed laser irradiation is a temperature-independent process that is substantially more efficient than siRNA release triggered by CW irradiation. Contrary to literature, which suggests that only pulsed irradiation releases siRNA duplexes, we found that both modes of irradiation release a mixture of siRNA duplexes and single-stranded oligonucleotides, but that pulsed irradiation results in a higher percentage of released duplexes. To demonstrate that the siRNA released from NSs upon pulsed irradiation remains functional, we evaluated the use of NSs coated with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-targeted siRNA (siGFP-NS) for on-demand knockdown of GFP in cells. We found that GFP-expressing cells treated with siGFP-NS and irradiated with a pulsed laser experienced a 33% decrease in GFP expression compared to cells treated with no laser. Further, we observed that light-triggered gene silencing mediated by siGFP-NS is more potent than using commercial transfection agents to deliver siRNA into cells. This work provides unprecedented insight into the mechanisms by which plasmonic NSs release siRNA upon light irradiation and demonstrates the importance of thoroughly characterizing photoresponsive nanosystems for applications in triggered gene regulation.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as one of the promising cancer therapy approaches. However, nanoparticles (NPs) which are used for PTT might be biopersistent and potentially toxic. The current research explores the promising use of Fe3O4 nanoflowers as nontoxic, efficient photothermal, and strong T2 type magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for imaging-guided photothermal cancer therapy. In this study, a facile solvothermal method is used to fabricate PEG-coated Fe3O4 nanoflowers with controllable dimensions. Their successful fabrication, the effect of the reaction parameters, and their magnetic properties are investigated in depth. The therapeutic performance of the Fe3O4 nanoflowers (Fe-NFs) is evaluated and compared with commercially available black TiO2 nanoparticles (b-TiO2) under an 808 nm laser. The photothermal therapy efficiency of the Fe-NFs is observed to be better than that of the reported Fe3O4 nanoparticles. In vitro and in vivo investigation demonstrates that the therapeutic performance of the Fe-NFs is comparable to that of b-TiO2. Moreover, the Fe-NFs show excellent magnetic properties and magnetic resonance imaging capability to monitor therapeutic performance.

Abstract
Theranostics provides opportunities for precision cancer therapy. However, theranostic probes that simultaneously turn on their diagnostic signal and pharmacological action only in respond to a targeted biomarker have been less exploited. We herein report the synthesis of a macrotheranostic probe that specifically activates its near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF), photoacoustic (PA), and photothermal signals in the presence of a cancer-overexpressed enzyme for imaging-guided cancer therapy. Superior to the small-molecule counterpart probe, the macrotheranostic probe has ideal biodistribution and renal clearance, permitting passive targeting of tumors, in situ activation of multimodal signals, and effective photothermal ablation. Our study thus provides a macromolecular approach towards activatable multimodal phototheranostics.

Abstract
We report sub-100 nm metal-shell (Au) dielectric-core (BaTiO3) nanoparticles with bimodal imaging abilities and enhanced photothermal effects. The nanoparticles efficiently absorb light in the near infrared range of the spectrum and convert it to heat to ablate tumors. Their BaTiO3 core, a highly ordered non-centrosymmetric material, can be imaged by second harmonic generation, and their Au shell generates two-photon luminescence. The intrinsic dual imaging capability allows investigating the distribution of the nanoparticles in relation to the tumor vasculature morphology during photothermal ablation. Our design enabled in vivo real-time tracking of the BT-Au-NPs and observation of their thermally-induced effect on tumor vessels. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Photothermal therapy induced by plasmonic nanoparticles has emerged as a promising approach to treating cancer. However, the study of the role of intratumoral nanoparticle distribution in mediating tumoricidal activity has been hampered by the lack of suitable imaging techniques. This work describes metal-shell (Au) dielectric-core (BaTiO3) nanoparticles (abbreviated as BT-Au-NP) for photothermal therapy and bimodal imaging. We demonstrated that sub-100 nm BT-Au-NP can efficiently absorb near infrared light and convert it to heat to ablate tumors. The intrinsic dual imaging capability allowed us to investigate the distribution of the nanoparticles in relation to the tumor vasculature morphology during photothermal ablation, enabling in vivo real-time tracking of the BT-Au-NPs and observation of their thermally-induced effect on tumor vessels.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light is widely used for noninvasive optical diagnosis and phototherapy. However, current research focuses on the first NIR window (NIR-I, 650-950 nm), while the second NIR window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) is far less exploited. The development of the first organic photothermal nanoagent (SPNI-II ) with dual-peak absorption in both NIR windows and its utilization in photothermal therapy (PTT) are reported herein. Such a nanoagent comprises a semiconducting copolymer with two distinct segments that respectively and identically absorb NIR light at 808 and 1064 nm. With the photothermal conversion efficiency of 43.4% at 1064 nm generally higher than other inorganic nanomaterials, SPNI-II enables superior deep-tissue heating at 1064 nm over that at 808 nm at their respective safety limits. Model deep-tissue cancer PTT at a tissue depth of 5 mm validates the enhanced antitumor effect of SPNI-II when shifting laser irradiation from the NIR-I to the NIR-II window. The good biodistribution and facile synthesis of SPNI-II also allow it to be doped with an NIR dye for fluorescence-imaging-guided NIR-II PTT through systemic administration. Thus, this study paves the way for the development of new polymeric nanomaterials to advance phototherapy.

Abstract
For superficial skin tumors (SST) with high incidence, surgery and systemic therapy are relatively invasive and possible to cause severe side effect, respectively. Yet, topical therapy is confronted with the limited transdermal capacity because of the stratum corneum barrier layer of skin. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a highly effective and minimally invasive alternative transdermal approach for treating SST. Here, we developed gold nanocage (AuNC)- and chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded hyaluronic acid dissolving microneedle (MN) arrays. The loaded AuNCs are not only reinforcers to enhance the mechanical strength of the MNs, but also effective agents for photothermal therapy to obtain effective transdermal therapy for SST. The resultant MNs can effectively penetrate the skin, dissolve in the skin and release cargoes within the tumor site. Photothermal effect of AuNCs initiated by near-infrared laser irradiation combined with the chemotherapy effect of DOX destroyed tumors synergistically. Moreover, we verified the potent antitumor effects of the DOX/AuNC-loaded MNs after four administrations to SST-bearing mice without obvious side effects. Therefore, the drug/AuNC-loaded dissolving MN system provides a promising platform for effective, safe, minimally invasive combined treatment of SST.

Abstract
Gold (Au) agglomerates (AGs) are reassembled using Triton X-100 (T) and doxorubicin (D) dissolved in ethanol under 185 nm photoirradiation to form TAuD nanovesicles (NVs) under ambient gas flow conditions. The positively charged Au particles are then electrostatically conjugated with the anionic chains of TD components via a flowing drop (FD) reaction. Photoirradiation of the droplets in a tubular reactor continues the photophysicochemical reactions, resulting in the reassembly of Au AGs and TD into TAuD NVs. The fabricated NVs are electrostatically collected onto a polished aluminum rod in a single-pass configuration. The dispersion of NVs is employed for bioassays to confirm uptake by cells and accumulation in tumors. The chemo-photothermal activity is determined both in vitro and in vivo. Different combinations of components are also used to fabricate NVs using the FD reaction, and these NVs are suitable for gene delivery as well. This newly designed gaseous single-pass process results in the reassembly of Au AGs for incorporation with TD without the need of batch wet chemical reactions, modifications, separations, or purifications. Thus, this process offers an efficient platform for preparing biofunctional Au nanostructures that requires neither complex physicochemical steps nor special storage techniques.

Abstract
In this study, we explained in detail a targeted nano-photo-thermal therapy (NPTT) method to induce selective apoptosis in cancer cells. Folate-conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-AuNPs) were synthesized by tailoring the surface of AuNPs with folic acid to enhance the specificity of NPTT. KB cancer cells, as a folate receptor over-expressing cell line, and L929 normal cells with low level of folate receptors were incubated with the synthesized F-AuNPs and then irradiated with various laser intensities and exposure durations. Following various regimes of NPTT, we assessed the level of cell viability and the ratio of apoptosis/necrosis. No significant cytotoxicity was observed for both cell lines at concentrations up to 40 μM of F-AuNPs. Moreover, no significant cell lethality occurred for various laser irradiation conditions. The viability of KB and L929 cells incubated with F-AuNPs (40 μM; 6 h) and then irradiated by laser (1 W/cm2; 2 min) was 57 and 83%, respectively. It was also demonstrated that the majority of cancer cell death is related to apoptosis (41% apoptosis of 43% overall cell death). In this process of F-AuNPs based NPTT, it may be concluded that the main factor determining whether a cell dies due to apoptosis or necrosis depends on laser irradiation conditions. In this study, we explained in detail a targeted nano-photo-thermal therapy (NPTT) method to induce selective apoptosis in cancer cells.

Abstract
Gold (Au) core@void@copper sulfide (CuS) shell (Au-CuS) yolk-shell nanoparticles (YSNPs) were prepared in the present study for potential chemo-, photothermal, and photodynamic combination therapy, so-called "chemophototherapy". The resonance energy transfer (RET) process was utilized in Au-CuS YSNPs to achieve both enhanced photothermal and photodynamic performance compared with those of CuS hollow nanoparticles (HNPs). A series of Au nanomaterials as cores that had different localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption peaks at 520, 700, 808, 860, and 980 nm were embedded in CuS HNPs to screen the most effective Au-CuS YSNPs according to the RET process. Thermoresponsive polymer was fabricated on these YSNPs' surface to allow for controlled drug release. Au808-CuS and Au980-CuS YSNPs were found capable of inducing the largest temperature elevation and producing the most significant hydroxyl radicals under 808 and 980 nm laser irradiation, respectively, which could accordingly cause the most severe 4T1 cell injury through oxidative stress mechanism. Moreover, doxorubicin-loaded (Dox-loaded) P(NIPAM-co-AM)-coated Au980-CuS (p-Au980-CuS@Dox) YSNPs could more efficiently kill cells than unloaded particles upon 980 nm laser irradiation. After intravenous administration to 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, p-Au980-CuS YSNPs could significantly accumulate in the tumor and effectively inhibit the tumor growth after 980 nm laser irradiation, and p-Au980-CuS@Dox YSNPs could further potentiate the inhibition efficiency and exhibit excellent in vivo biocompatibility. Taken together, this study sheds light on the rational design of Au-CuS YSNPs to offer a promising candidate for chemophototherapy.

Abstract
Here, we report the formulation of hybrid nanoparticles consisting of aggregated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) impregnated into a gemcitabine-polymer conjugate matrix that exhibit synergistic photo-chemo-therapeutic activity against pancreatic cancer. Well-defined, sub-100 nm hybrid NPs were successfully formulated and their photothermal conversion efficiency was evaluated, which was found to be as high as 63% in the red-visible spectrum. By varying the GNP and GEM-polymer feed, it was possible to control the red-shifting of the surface plasmon resonance at therapeutically relevant wavelengths. The hybrid NPs exhibited significant cytotoxicity against MiaPaCa-2 cells with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.0012 mg mL-1; however the IC50 decreased by a factor of 2 after the cells were irradiated with a continuous wave red laser for 1 min (1.4 W cm-2). Although the irradiation of the aggregated GNPs loaded in the hybrid NPs produced a higher thermal effect for the same amount of non-loaded GNPs, the IC50 of the hybrid NPs was significantly lower than that of the free GNPs, hence indicating a synergistic effect of the polymer bound GEM and the GNPs.

Abstract
Multifunctional polymeric micelles were developed as a promising dual tumor-targeted drug delivery platform for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and combined photothermal-chemotherapy. HA-C16 copolymers were synthesized via peptide formation process with subsequent co-encapsulation of therapeutic agent docetaxel (DTX) and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to form the multifunctional micelles. The micelles exhibited uniform nanosize and remarkable colloidal stability in aqueous solution. The sustained drug release behavior from HA micelles was observed over the test period. Moreover, the specific targeting capability based on CD44 recptor-mediated endocytosis and the enhanced targeting efficacy by in presence of external magnetic field were investigated. The clustered SPIONs within micelles exerted excellent contrast effect with high r2 relaxivity in MR phantom test. Furthermore, the multifunctional micelles could readily convert light to heat to hyperthermia temperature upon near infrared light irradition and induce photothermal ablation to breast cancer cells. The combined photothermal therapy with DTX-mediated chemotherapy of the developed multifunctional polymeric micells could generate a synergistic therapeutic effect. Based on these findings, the resulting multifunctional micelles may provide high potential for multimodality theragnosis of cancer.

Abstract
We developed nanoparticles comprising a photothermal dye (IR825)-loaded carbonized zwitterionic polymer [FNP-I] as "switch-on" pH-responsive fluorescence probes to sense intracellular cancer cells and for near-infrared (NIR) controllable photothermal therapy (PTT) in vivo and in vitro. The fluorescent "off" of FNP-I was activated after reaching the cancer cell environment, where the zwitterionic compartment of FNP lost its hydrophobicity to induce PTT-mediated heat release of IR825 under NIR irradiation in the tumor. Approximately 100% of the IR825 was released from the FNP core to generate high thermal conversion to completely kill the cancer cells. Furthermore, after intravenous treatment of FNP-I into MDAMB-231-cell bearing mice, pH-responsive photothermal therapy was observed, achieving marked ablation of tumor cells with release of IR825 under tumor environment conditions. In addition, fluorescent signals were clearly found at the tumor site after 3 h, decreasing at the 6 h time point. The in vitro and in vivo detection system demonstrated good cellular uptake and biocompatibility as a potential imaging-guided photothermal therapy nanotool for cancer treatment. Interestingly, the synergism of the biosensor and PTT in single FNP-I platform led to more effective cancer cell killing than either monotherapy, providing a new approach for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Herein, we report a straightforward method for the scalable preparation of Pd nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) with reduced inherent cytotoxicity and high photothermal conversion capacity. These Pd-NPs are rapidly taken up by cells and able to kill labeled cancer cells upon short exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light. Following cell treatment with Pd-NPs, ablated areas were patterned with high precision by laser scanning microscopy, allowing one to perform cell migration assays with unprecedented accuracy. Using coherent Raman microscopy, cells containing Pd-NPs were simultaneously ablated and imaged. This novel methodology was combined with intravital imaging to mediate microablation of cancerous tissue in tumor xenografts in mice.

Abstract
A multifunctional albumin/superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPIO) nanocomplex system to deliver IR780, a photothermal agent, for cancer theranostic applications was proposed in this study. Single emulsion method was utilized to fabricate the human albumin/IR780/SPIO (HISP) nanocomplexes with a hydrophobic core (SPIO and IR780) and a hydrophilic shell (human serum albumin (HSA) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)). Effects of PEGylation on the size and surface potential of nanocomplexes were analyzed. Nanospheres containing uniformly dispersed SPIO was observed using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging. As a potential magnetic resonance (MR) imaging agent, the HISP displayed dose-dependent T2-weighted imaging contrast (R2 = 81.6 mM-1s-1). Good colloidal stability was verified from the nanocomplexes under difference circumstances. The nanocomplexes were taken up by cancer cells efficiently and led to significant photothermal-mediated cancer cell death upon short-term near infrared (NIR) irradiation in vitro. Via intravenous injection, PEG-HISP can efficiently deliver IR780 to tumor sites and showed strong photothermal effect compared to free drug on the mice model. Significant tumor suppression by the photothermal treatments using PEG-HISP was demonstrated from the mice CT26 xenograft model. Good safety profile of the PEG-HISP was confirmed from histological examination and liver functional analysis. Taken together, the results suggest that PEG-HISP is a safe and robust nano-theranostic platform for advanced anti-cancer treatment.

Gold nanocage decorated pH-sensitive micelle for highly effective photothermo-chemotherapy and photoacoustic imaging. Acta Biomater 2017; 64:223-236.

Abstract
A pH-sensitive copolymer PAsp(DIP)-b-PAsp(MEA) (PDPM) was synthesized and self-assembled to micelle loading chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and introducing a gold nanocage structure for photothermo-chemotherapy and photoacoustic imaging. After further surface modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG), the DOX-loaded pH-sensitive gold nanocage (D-PGNC) around 100 nm possessed a uniform spherical structure with a pH-sensitive core of PAsp(DIP) incorporating DOX, an interlayer crosslinked via disulfide bonds and decorated with discontinuous gold shell, and a PEG corona. The release of DOX from D-PGNC was turned off in bloodstream due to the cross-linking and gold decoration of interlayer but turned on inside tumor tissue by multiple stimulations including the low pH value of tumor tissue (≈6.8), the low lysosomal pH value of cancer cells (≈5.0) and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. The gold nanocage receiving NIR irradiation could generate hyperthermia to ablate tumor cells. Moreover, the photoacoustic (PA) imaging and analysis of DOX fluorescence inside tumor tissue demonstrated that photothermal therapy based on the gold nanocage effectively drove DOX penetration inside tumor. Owing to the rapid intratumor release and deep tissue penetration of drug favorable for killing cancer cells survived the photothermal therapy, the combined therapy based on D-PGNC via NIR irradiation exhibited a synergistic treatment effect superior to either chemotherapy or NIR-induced photothermal therapy alone. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The novelty of the manuscript is its multifunctional system which incorporates anticancer drug DOX in its pH-sensitive core and acts as a template to introduce a gold nanocage. This nanomedicine presents potentials of sequestrating drug molecules in blood circulation but releasing them inside tumor upon responding to the acidic microenvironment therein. Exposure to NIR laser further expedited the pH-sensitive DOX release and promoted DOX penetration into cancer tissues far away from the vasculature. Consequently, the combined photothermo-chemotherapy showed synergistic effects to inhibit tumor growth and prolong animal survival in nude mice bearing human SKOV-3 ovarian tumor. Moreover, owing to the decoration with gold nanocage, the tumor accumulation and intratumor diffusion of the micelles were easily trackable using photoacoustic imaging.

Abstract
Surgical excision of skin cancers can hardly remove the tumor tissues completely and simultaneously result in cutaneous defects. To avoid tumor recurrence and heal the tumor-induced wounds, we designed a tissue engineering membrane possessing bifunctions of tumor therapy and skin tissue regeneration. The micropatterned nanocomposite membrane was successfully fabricated by incorporating Cu2S nanoflowers into biopolymer fibers via a modified electrospinning method. With uniformly embedded Cu2S nanoparticles, the membranes exhibited excellent and controllable photothermal performance under near-infrared irradiation, which resulted in high mortality (>90%) of skin tumor cells and effectively inhibited tumor growth in mice. Moreover, the membranes supported the adhesion, proliferation, and migration of skin cells as well as significantly stimulated angiogenesis and healed full-thickness skin defects in vivo. This proof-of-concept study offers a facile and reliable strategy for localized skin tumor therapy and tissue regeneration using bifunctional tissue engineering biomaterials, showing great promise for tumor-induced wound healing applications.

Abstract
Tumor-targeted delivery of photothermal agent and controlled release of concomitant chemotherapeutic drug are two key factors for combined photothermal chemotherapy. Herein, we developed a pH/near-infrared (NIR) dual-triggered drug release nanoplatform based on hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized gold nanorods (GNRs) for actively targeted synergetic photothermal chemotherapy of breast cancer. Targeting folate (FA), dopamine, and adipic acid dihydrazide triconjugated HA was first synthesized and used to decorate GNRs via Au-catechol bonds, and then an anticarcinogen doxorubicin (DOX) was conjugated onto HA moieties via an acid-labile hydrazone linkage, resulting in multifunctional nanoparticles GNRs-HA-FA-DOX. The nanoparticles exhibited excellent stability and had a pH and NIR dual-responsive drug release behavior. In vitro studies showed that the nanoparticles could be efficiently internalized into breast cancer MCF-7 cells and kill them under NIR irradiation in a synergistic fashion via inducing cell apoptosis. Pharmacokinetics and biodistribution studies in tumor-bearing mice indicated that the nanoparticles had a long blood circulation with a half-life of 2.4 h and exhibited a high accumulation of 11.3% in tumor site. The tumors of mice treated with combined chemotherapy and photothermal therapy were completely suppressed without obvious systemic toxicity after 20 d of treatment. These results demonstrated a great potential of GNRs-HA-FA-DOX nanoparticles for targeted synergistic therapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
Although ultrasmall metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been used as radiosensitizers to enhance the local damage to tumor tissues while reducing injury to the surrounding organs, their rapid clearance from the circulatory system and the presence of hypoxia within the tumor continue to hamper their further application in radiotherapy (RT). In this study, we report a size tunable nanocluster bomb with a initial size of approximately 33 nm featuring a long half-life during blood circulation and destructed to release small hypoxia microenvironment-targeting NPs (∼5 nm) to achieve deep tumor penetration. Hypoxic profiles of solid tumors were precisely imaged using NP-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with higher spatial resolution. Once irradiated with a 1064 nm laser, CT-guided, local photothermal ablation of the tumor and production of radical species could be achieved simultaneously. The induced radical species alleviated the hypoxia-induced resistance and sensitized the tumor to the killing efficacy of radiation in Akt-mTOR pathway-dependent manner. The therapeutic outcome was assessed in animal models of orthotopical breast cancer and pancreatic cancer, supporting the feasibility of our combinational treatment in hypoxic tumor management.
