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

Abstract
Porphyrin-based molecules possess excellent photophysical properties and are widely applied in photothermal fields. Nonetheless, these molecules featuring small cross sections of optical absorption and high radiative recombination rates lead to inferior performance of photothermal conversion. Herein, porphyrin paddle-wheel framework-3 (PPF-3) composed of tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) and Co2+ was utilized to study the possibility of the enhanced photothermal effect induced by a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process. Finally, the supported PPF-3 membrane exhibited comparable solar steam generation performance to a supported membrane of Au nanoparticles. The solar thermal receiver efficiency of the supported PPF-3 membrane was increased to 70.3% which was ∼420% higher than that of the supported TCPP membrane. The enhanced performance benefits from the PPF-3 structure and components that enable the broadening of the optical absorption range and suppress the radiative recombination of excitons by PET from the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of TCPP to cobalt ions. Based on the ubiquitous structures of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the research opens a new avenue for the applications of MOFs as cost-efficient and eligible photothermal materials.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) with the advantages of high efficiency and minimal invasiveness is a promising technique for tumor therapy, but clinical application of PTT agents has been stifled by the great safety concerns. Herein, a deep blue iodine-starch-alginate (ALG) hydrogel is elegantly fabricated based on the classic and simple "iodine-starch test" for in vivo tumor PTT in a facile and mild way. The iodine-starch-ALG hydrogel composed of clinically used agents is fabricated by dispersing blue iodine-starch complex into alginate-Ca2+ hydrogel, which guarantees the good chemical stability of iodine-starch complex via separating them from surrounding reductive environment. The iodine-starch-ALG hydrogel possesses favorable biocompatibility derived from the biosafe and degradable components and possesses good photothermal heating ability based on iodine-starch chromophore. The proposed iodine-starch-ALG hydrogel is successfully applied in tumor PTT in vitro and in vivo for the first time. This work lays down a novel way for the development of high-performance and biocompatible biomaterials via teaching old drugs new tricks.

Abstract
A common issue of functional nanoagents for potential clinical translation is whether they are biodegradable or renal clearable. Previous studies have widely explored noble metal nanoparticles (Au and Pd) as the first generation of photothermal nanoagents for cancer therapy, but all of the reported noble metal nanoparticles are non-degradable. On the other hand, rhenium (Re), one of the noble and precious metals with a high atomic number (Z = 75), has been mainly utilized as a jet superalloy or chemical catalyst, but the biological characteristics and activity of Re nanoparticles have never been evaluated until now. To address these issues, here we report a simple and scalable liquid-reduction strategy to synthesize PEGylated Re nanoclusters, which exhibit intrinsically high photothermal conversion efficacy (33.0%) and high X-ray attenuation (21.2 HU mL mg-1), resulting in excellent photothermal ablation (100% tumor elimination) and higher CT enhancement (15.9 HU mL mg-1 for commercial iopromide in clinics). Impressively, biocompatible Re nanoclusters can degrade into renal clearable ReO4 - ions after exposure to H2O2, and thus achieve much higher renal clearance efficiency than conventional gold nanoparticles. This work reveals the potential of theranostic application of metallic Re nanoclusters with both biodegradation and renal clearance properties and provides insights into the design of degradable metallic platforms with high clinical prospects.

Abstract
Supramolecular assembly could in principle lead to redshifted absorption through J-aggregation of chromophores, which would be a highly promising method for achieving near-infrared materials with improved functionality and flexibility. To effectively enhance the material functionalities, one of the great challenges remaining is to achieve an aggregation state with a redshift larger than 100 nm. Conventional assemblies that are mostly thermodynamically controlled have a limited redshifted absorption of less than 30 nm. In this work, using a model phthalocyanine–peptide conjugate compound, we achieved the first fabrication of phthalocyanine-based near-infrared materials with a superlarge absorption redshift of 105 nm by a kinetically controlled self-assembly strategy. In this kinetically controlled self-assembly process, sufficient rearrangement of intermolecular aggregates to an ordered structure is revealed to be crucial to facilitate the formation of nanofibrils instead of nanoparticles, which are formed via a general rapid self-assembly pathway under thermodynamic control. The superlarge redshift in the absorbance of assembled nanofibrils originates from the orderly stacked phthalocyanine chromophores, which enable a charge transfer state through more effective intermolecular orbital overlapping. The kinetically controlled J-aggregation state of the phthalocyanine–peptide conjugate with superlarge redshifted absorption not only opens an unprecedented route toward novel near-infrared phthalocyanine materials but also holds great promise for revealing general design principles for various organic dye materials.

Abstract
The sun is the most abundant source of energy on earth. Phototrophs have discovered clever strategies to harvest this light energy and convert it to chemical energy for biomass production. This is achieved in light-harvesting complexes, or antennas, that funnel the exciton energy into the reaction centers. Antennas contain an array of chlorophylls, linear tetrapyrroles, and carotenoid pigments spatially controlled by neighboring proteins. This fine-tuned regulation of protein-pigment arrangements is crucial for survival in the conditions of both excess and extreme light deficit. Photomedicine and photodiagnosis have long been utilizing naturally derived and synthetic monomer dyes for imaging, photodynamic and photothermal therapy; however, the precise regulation of damage inflicted by these therapies requires more complex architectures. In this Account, we discuss how two mechanisms found in photosynthetic systems, photoprotection and light harvesting, have inspired scientists to create nanomedicines for more effective and precise phototherapies. Researchers have been recapitulating natural photoprotection mechanisms by utilizing carotenoids and other quencher molecules toward the design of photodynamic molecular beacons (PDT beacons) for disease-specific photoactivation. We highlight the seminal studies describing peptide-linked porphyrin-carotenoid PDT beacons, which are locally activated by a disease-specific enzyme. Examples of more advanced constructs include tumor-specific mRNA-activatable and polyionic cell-penetrating PDT beacons. An alternative approach toward harnessing photosynthetic processes for biomedical applications includes the design of various nanostructures. This Account will primarily focus on organic lipid-based micro- and nanoparticles. The phenomenon of nonphotochemical quenching, or excess energy release in the form of heat, has been widely explored in the context of porphyrin-containing nanomedicines. These quenched nanostructures can be implemented toward photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. Upon nanostructure disruption, as a result of tissue accumulation and subsequent cell uptake, activatable fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy can be achieved. Alternatively, processes found in nature for light harvesting under dim conditions, such as in the deep sea, can be harnessed to maximize light absorption within the tissue. Specifically, high-ordered dye aggregation that results in a bathochromic shift and increased absorption has been exploited for the collection of more light with longer wavelengths, characterized by maximum tissue penetration. Overall, the profound understanding of photosynthetic systems combined with rapid development of nanotechnology has yielded a unique field of nature-inspired photomedicine, which holds promise toward more precise and effective phototherapies.

Abstract
Advances in supramolecular self-assembly have promoted the development of theranostics, the combination of both therapeutic and diagnostic functions in a single nanoplatform, which is closely associated with antitumor applications and has shown promising potential in personalized medicine. Peptide-modulated self-assembly serves as a versatile strategy for tumor supramolecular nanotheranostics possessing controllability, programmability, functionality and biosafety, thus promoting the translation of nanotheranostics from bench to bedside. In this review, we will focus on the self-assembly of peptide-photosensitizers and peptide-drugs as well as multicomponent cooperative self-assembly for the fabrication of nanotheranostics that integrate diagnosis and therapeutics for antitumor applications. Emphasis will be placed on building block design, interaction strategies and the potential relationships between their structures and properties, aiming to increase understanding of the critical role of peptide-modulated self-assembly in advancing antitumor supramolecular nanotheranostics.

Abstract
Two-dimensional quantum dots (2DQDs), as promising photothermal agents (PTAs) in photothermal therapy (PTT) to malignant tumors, have been widely studied experimentally, whereas the superior photoabsorption and photothermal conversion mechanisms remain unclear. In this work, we present the first excited-state dynamics study on the PTT of 2D antimonene (AM) QDs by employing time-dependent density functional theory and ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics calculations. Surprisingly, pristine AMQDs themselves are not good PTAs due to weak photoabsorption and low photothermal conversion performance. The superior PTT capacity of AMQDs actually derives from the spontaneously partial oxidation. The partial oxidation introduces additional band edge states, which not only broaden the optical absorption range but also strengthen the transition dipole moment. More importantly, the oxidation doubles the nonradiative transition rate arising from the increased nonradiative coupling, which greatly promotes the release of photogenerated electron energy and accelerates the photothermal conversion efficiency. The in-depth insight unveiled here should be of fundamental importance and benefit for efficient utilization of 2DQDs in biomedical field.

Abstract
As unique molecules with both therapeutic and diagnostic properties, porphyrin derivatives have been extensively employed for cancer treatment. Porphyrins not only show powerful phototherapeutic effects (photodynamic and photothermal therapies), but also exhibit excellent imaging capacities, such as near-infrared fluorescent imaging (NIRFI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). In order to take advantage of their robust phototherapeutic effects and excellent imaging capacities, porphyrins can be used to create nanomedicines with effective therapeutic and precise diagnostic properties for cancer treatment. In this Review, we summarize porphyrin-based nanomedicines which have been developed recently, including porphyrin-based liposomes, micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, peptide nanoparticles, and small-molecule nanoassemblies, and their applications on cancer therapy and diagnosis. The outlook and limitation of porphyrin-based nanomedicines are also reviewed.

Abstract
Cell-based therapy is a promising approach to restoring lost functions to compromised organs. However, the issue of inefficient cell engraftment remains to be resolved. Herein, we take a chemical approach to facilitate cell engraftment by using self-assembling molecules which modify two cellular traits: cell survival and invasiveness. In this system, the self-assembling molecule induces syndecan-4 clusters on the cellular surface, leading to enhanced cell viability. Further integration with Halo-tag technology provided this self-assembly structure with matrix metalloproteinase-2 to functionalize cells with cell-invasion activity. In vivo experiments showed that the pretreated cells were able to survive injection and then penetrate and engraft into the host tissue, demonstrating that the system enhances cell engraftment. Therefore, cell-surface modification via an alliance between self-assembling molecules and ligation technologies may prove to be a promising method for cell engraftment.

Abstract
Although nitric oxide (NO) can be used to treat osteoarthritis (OA) by inhibiting inflammation, a method for the accurately controlled release of NO in inflammatory cells is still elusive. Herein, photothermal-triggered NO nanogenerators NO-Hb@siRNA@PLGA-PEG (NHsPP) were constructed by assembling photothermal-agents and NO molecules within nanoparticles. In the NHsPP nanoparticles the hemoglobin (Hb) nanoparticles can act as a NO carrier which can absorb near-infrared light at 650 nm (0.5 W cm-2) and convert it into heat to trigger the release of NO. Moreover, after loading Notch1-siRNA, precise treatment can be achieved. Furthermore, using the synergistic effect of photothermal therapy, the NHsPP nanoparticles achieved simultaneous treatment with NO, siRNA and PTT. Through this combination therapy, the therapeutic effect of the NHsPP nanoparticles was significantly enhanced compared to the treatment groups using only NO, siRNA or PTT. This combination therapy inhibits the inflammatory response effectively by reducing the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the macrophage response. Subsequently, guided by dual-modal imaging, the NHsPP nanoparticles can not only accumulate effectively in OA mice, but can also reduce the inflammatory response and efficiently prevent cartilage erosion, without causing toxic side effects in the major organs. Therefore, this novel photothermal nanoparticle-based NO-releasing system is expected to be a potential alternative for clinical inflammatory disease therapy and may provide image guidance when combined with other nanotherapy systems.

Abstract
Precise incorporation of functional residues into sequences allows for tailoring the noncovalent interactions between peptides to guide their self-assembly into well-defined nanostructures, thus facilitating creation of artificial functional materials resembling natural systems. Here, we report on the self-assembly of dipeptides consisting of one fluorinated phenylalanine unit (Z residue) and one natural aromatic residue into laminated nanofibers predominately driven by polar-π interactions. On the basis of characterizations using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thioflavin T binding assay, we found that the face-centered stacking pattern of the dipeptides FZ, ZF, and ZY stabilized by the polar-π interactions and antiparallel β-sheet H-bonding interactions led to lamination of nanofibers and formation of ribbonlike nanostructures. Our findings demonstrate that incorporation of fluorinated aromatic units into short peptides not only promotes of polar-π interactions as alternative self-assembling driving forces but also governs the organizing pattern of peptides, thus benefiting creation of well-defined peptide nanostructures.

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

Abstract
Photothermal nanomaterials that integrate multimodal imaging and therapeutic functions provide promising opportunities for noninvasive and targeted diagnosis and treatment in precision medicine. However, the clinical translation of existing photothermal nanoagents is severely hindered by their unclear physiological metabolism, which makes them a strong concern for biosafety. Here, the utilization of biliverdin (BV), an endogenic near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing pigment with well-studied metabolic pathways, to develop photothermal nanoagents with the aim of providing efficient and metabolizable candidates for tumor diagnosis and therapy, is demonstrated. It is shown that BV nanoagents with intense NIR absorption, long-term photostability and colloidal stability, and high photothermal conversion efficiency can be readily constructed by the supramolecular multicomponent self-assembly of BV, metal-binding short peptides, and metal ions through the reciprocity and synergy of coordination and multiple noncovalent interactions. In vivo data reveal that the BV nanoagents selectively accumulate in tumors, locally elevate tumor temperature under mild NIR irradiation, and consequently induce efficient photothermal tumor ablation with promising biocompatibility. Furthermore, the BV nanoagents can serve as a multimodal contrast for tumor visualization through both photoacoustic and magnetic resonance imaging. BV has no biosafety concerns, and thereby offers a great potential in precision medicine by integrating multiple theranostic functions.

Abstract
pH-responsive peptides are promising therapeutic molecules that can specifically target the plasma membrane in the acidified extracellular medium that bathes cells in tumors. We designed the acidity-triggered rational membrane (ATRAM) peptide to have a pH-responsive membrane interaction. At physiological pH, ATRAM binds to the membrane surface in a largely unstructured conformation, while in acidic conditions it inserts into lipid bilayers forming a transmembrane helix. However, the molecular mechanism ATRAM uses to target and insert into tumor cells remains poorly understood. Here, we determined that ATRAM inserts into cancer cells with a preferential membrane orientation, where the C-terminus of the peptide traverses the plasma membrane and explores the cytoplasm. Using biophysical techniques, we determined that the membrane interaction of ATRAM is contingent on the concentration of the peptide. Kinetic studies showed that membrane insertion occurs in at least three steps, where only the first step was affected by the membrane density of ATRAM. These observations, combined with membrane binding and leakage data, indicate that the interaction of ATRAM with lipid membranes is dependent on its oligomerization state. SPECT/CT imaging in mice revealed that ATRAM accumulates in the blood pool, where it has a prolonged circulation time (> 4 h). Since fast peptide clearance and degradation in circulation are major problems for clinical development, we studied the mechanism ATRAM uses to remain in the blood stream. Using binding and transfer assays, we determined that ATRAM binds reversibly to human serum albumin. We propose that ATRAM uses albumin as a carrier in the blood stream to evade clearance and proteolysis before interacting with the plasma membrane of cancer cells. We also show that ATRAM is able to be deliver liposomes to cells in a pH dependent way. Our data highlight the potential of ATRAM as a specific therapeutic agent for diseases that lead to acidic tissues, including cancer.

Abstract
We report for the very first time the discovery of amyloid-like self-assemblies formed by the nonaromatic single amino acids cysteine (Cys) and methionine (Met) under neutral aqueous conditions. The structure formation was assessed and characterized by various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques such as optical microscopy, phase contrast microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The mechanism of self-assembly and the role of hydrogen bonding and thiol interactions of Cys and Met were assessed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and solid state NMR along with various control experiments. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to gain insight into assembly initiation. Further, Thioflavin T and Congo red binding assays with Cys and Met structures indicated that these single amino acid assemblies may have amyloid-like characteristics. To understand the biological significance of the Cys and Met structures, cytotoxicity assays of the assemblies were performed on human neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells and monkey kidney cells (COS-7). The results revealed that both Cys and Met fibers were cytotoxic. The cell viability assay further supported the hypothesis that aggregation of single amino acid may contribute to the etiology of metabolic disorders like cystinuria and hypermethioninemia. The results presented in this study are striking, and to the best of our knowledge this is the first report which demonstrates that nonaromatic amino acids like Cys and Met can undergo spontaneous self-assembly to form amyloidogenic aggregates. The results presented are also consistent with the established generic amyloid hypothesis and support a new paradigm for the study of the etiology of single amino acid initiated metabolic disorders in amyloid related diseases.

Abstract
Photothermal agents with high photothermal transfer efficiencies in the near-infrared (NIR) region are important for enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumors. Herein, we developed a strategy for the acid-triggered in situ aggregation of a system based on peptide-conjugated gold nanoparticles (GNPs). In an acidic environment, the GNPs formed large aggregates in solution, in cell lysates, and in tumor tissues, as observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As a consequence of the aggregation, their UV-vis absorbance in the NIR region was greatly increased, and laser irradiation of the GNPs resulted in a dramatic increase in the temperatures of solutions and tumors that contained the GNP system. When exposed to NIR irradiation, the aggregates formed by the GNP system under acidic conditions were capable of producing a sufficient level of hyperthermia to destroy cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, the GNP aggregates showed enhanced properties in multiple imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT), photoacoustic (PA), and photothermal (PT) imaging. Thus, we have developed a novel probe for enhanced multimodal tumor imaging. These findings prove that a strategy involving the acid-triggered in situ aggregation of a GNP system can increase the photothermal transfer efficiency for low to high energy conversion, thus boosting the therapeutic specificity and antitumor efficacy of PTT and facilitating multimodal imaging.

Abstract
Plasmon-enhanced light harvesting has been of great interest to enhance the catalytic efficiency of some composites or hybrids. The enhanced peroxidase-like activity of phosphorylated iron(III) porphyrin (TPPFe(III))-based nanocomposite, induced by localized surface plasmon resonance for a colorimetric assay, was developed in this study. Firstly, a phosphate group modification strategy was adopted to synthesize water-soluble iron(III) porphyrin materials. Then, the as-synthesized TPPFe(III) was covalently attached to core-shell gold nanorods (GNRs), GNR@Au2S/AuAgS, to form TPPFe(III)-GNR@Au2S/AuAgS nanocomposite, which shows greatly enhanced peroxidase-like activity compared to TPPFe(III). A mechanism for the enhanced peroxidase-like activity of TPPFe(III)-GNR@Au2S/AuAgS was proposed, which results from a synergic effect of hot electrons excited by localized surface plasmon resonance and photogenerated electrons of the TPPFe(III), verified by experiments. Furthermore, a fast colorimetric assay for the detection of H2O2 and glucose was established based on the unique property of TPPFe(III)-GNR@Au2S/AuAgS. This colorimetric assay was applied to determine practical human serum samples; satisfactory results demonstrate this method has high accuracy. The present study would not only provide some insights into the mechanism of plasmon-activated enzyme-like reactions, but also offer new strategies for improving the catalytic activity of a mimetic enzyme.

Abstract
Herein, water-dispersible carbon nano-onion clusters (CNOCs) with an average hydrodynamic size of ≈90 nm are prepared by simply sonicating candle soot in a mixture of oxidizing acid. The obtained CNOCs have high photothermal conversion efficiency (57.5%), excellent aqueous dispersibility (stable in water for more than a year without precipitation), and benign biocompatibility. After polyethylenimine (PEI) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) modification, the resultant CNOCs-PEI-PEG have a high photothermal conversion efficiency (56.5%), and can realize after-wash photothermal cancer cell ablation due to their ultrahigh cellular uptake (21.3 pg/cell), which is highly beneficial for the selective ablation of cancer cells via light-triggered intracellular heat generation. More interestingly, the cellular uptake of CNOCs-PEI-PEG is so high that the internalized nanoagents can be directly observed under a microscope without fluorescent labeling. Besides, in vivo experiments reveal that CNOCs-PEI-PEG can be used for photothermal/photoacoustic dual-modal imaging-guided photothermal therapy after intravenous administration. Furthermore, CNOCs-PEI-PEG can be efficiently cleared from the mouse body within a week, ensuring their excellent long-term biosafety. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the first example of using candle soot as raw material to prepare water-dispersible onion-like carbon nanomaterials for cancer theranostics is represented herein.

Abstract
Peptide assemblies are ideal components for eco-friendly optoelectronic energy harvesting devices due to their intrinsic biocompatibility, ease of fabrication, and flexible functionalization. However, to date, their practical applications have been limited due to the difficulty in obtaining stable, high-performance devices. Here, it is shown that the tryptophan-based simplest peptide cyclo-glycine-tryptophan (cyclo-GW) forms mechanically robust (elastic modulus up to 24.0 GPa) and thermally stable up to 370 °C monoclinic crystals, due to a supramolecular packing combining dense parallel β-sheet hydrogen bonding and herringbone edge-to-face aromatic interactions. The directional and extensive driving forces further confer unique optical properties, including aggregation-induced blue emission and unusual stable photoluminescence. Moreover, the crystals produce a high and sustained open-circuit voltage (1.2 V) due to a high piezoelectric coefficient of 14.1 pC N-1 . These findings demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing self-assembling peptides for fabrication of biointegrated microdevices that combine high structural stability, tailored optoelectronics, and significant energy harvesting properties.

Abstract
Short peptide-based supramolecular assemblies have drawn much attention in the field of drug delivery. However, the progress still remains limited owing to the inefficient drug loading capacity of conventional short peptide-based materials. In this study, based on coordinated intramolecular π-π stacking, we customize a dipeptide-based rhein derivative (rhein-diphenylalanine peptide, RDP), which could spontaneously form spherical nanoassemblies for drug delivery. A structure-based virtual screening of a library of small molecules is conducted to identify the suitable compounds which could be effectively delivered by this nanocarrier. Sorted by binding energy results, fifteen superior and five inferior molecules are found. Subsequently, the co-assembly capacity of high-affinity molecules (camptothecin, CPT) and low-affinity molecules (norcantharidin, NCTD) with the dipeptide-based carrier is predicted via dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation. Consistent with computational results, the in vitro experimental results show that CPT-encapsulated nanoassemblies have significant advantages in the particle size distribution and recrystallization-inhibitory effect compared with NCTD. Furthermore, in vivo experiments were conducted to determine whether CPT is precisely delivered to tumor sites by using the dipeptide-based nanoassemblies. The CPT-loaded nanoassemblies show better effects in terms of drug biodistribution and in vivo anti-tumor efficacy compared to free CPT. The cooperative computational and experimental strategies (in vitro and in vivo) used in this work lay a good foundation to systematically understand short peptide-based assemblies for precise drug delivery.

Abstract
The intramolecular rotation of 4-farnesyloxyphenyl-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza- s-indacene (BODIPY-ISO) was controlled by tuning its local physical environment within a mixed self-assembled monolayer at an air-water interface. Intramolecular rotation was investigated by considering the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) fluorescence of BODIPY-ISO, which increases in intensity with increasing viscosity of the medium. In situ fluorescence spectroscopy was performed on mixed monolayers of BODIPY-ISO with several different lipids at the air-water interface during in-plane compression of the monolayers. Depending on the identity of the lipid used, the fluorescence of the mixed monolayers could be enhanced by mechanical compression, indicating that the rotation of BODIPY-ISO can be controlled dynamically in mixtures with lipids dispersed at the air-water interface. Taken together, our findings provide insight into strategies for controlling the dynamic behavior of molecular machines involving mechanical stimuli at interfaces.

Abstract
In this work a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) was covalently connected with two different chromophores, namely porphyrin and boron-dipyrromethene. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example in the literature where a PNA unit is covalently linked to such chromophores. The self-assembly properties of the hybrids were examined through electron microscopy experiments by adopting the "good-bad" solvent self-assembly protocol. For both hybrids (PNA-TPP and PNA-BDP) we were able to observe distinctive supramolecular architectures. During these studies we investigated the influence of the solvent system, the concentration and the deposition method on the morphology of the formed nanostructures. In the case of PNA-TPP under all examined conditions well-formed nanospheres were obtained. Interestingly, in the PNA-BDP hybrid by simply altering the solvent mixture, self-assemblies of two different morphologies were formed (spherical and flake shaped). Absorption and emission studies suggested the formation of J-aggregates in all the obtained nanostructures. The nano-architectures assembled by PNA conjugates are capable of light-harvesting and producing hydrogen using Pt nanoparticles as a photocatalyst.

Abstract
Peptide-based hydrogels have been proven to be preeminent biomedical materials due to their high water content, tunable mechanical stability, great biocompatibility and excellent injectability. The ability of peptide-based hydrogels to provide extracellular matrix-mimicking environments opens up opportunities for their biomedical applications in fields such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing. In this review, we first describe several methods commonly used for the fabrication of robust peptide-based hydrogels, including spontaneous hydrogelation, enzyme-controlled hydrogelation and cross-linking-enhanced hydrogelation. We then introduce some representative studies on their applications in drug delivery and antitumor therapy, antimicrobial and wound healing materials, and 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering. We hope that this review facilitates the advances of hydrogels in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biomolecular self-assembly provides a facile way to synthesize functional nanomaterials. Due to the unique structure and functions of biomolecules, the created biological nanomaterials via biomolecular self-assembly have a wide range of applications, from materials science to biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, nanotechnology, and analytical science. In this review, we present recent advances in the synthesis of biological nanomaterials by controlling the biomolecular self-assembly from adjusting internal interactions and external stimulations. The self-assembly mechanisms of biomolecules (DNA, protein, peptide, virus, enzyme, metabolites, lipid, cholesterol, and others) related to various internal interactions, including hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, π⁻π stacking, DNA base pairing, and ligand⁻receptor binding, are discussed by analyzing some recent studies. In addition, some strategies for promoting biomolecular self-assembly via external stimulations, such as adjusting the solution conditions (pH, temperature, ionic strength), adding organics, nanoparticles, or enzymes, and applying external light stimulation to the self-assembly systems, are demonstrated. We hope that this overview will be helpful for readers to understand the self-assembly mechanisms and strategies of biomolecules and to design and develop new biological nanostructures or nanomaterials for desired applications.

Abstract
The therapeutic properties of light are well known for photodynamic or photothermal therapy, which could cause irreversible photodamage to tumor tissues. Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been proved in the clinic, the efficacy is not satisfactory because of complicated tumor microenvironments. For example, the hypoxia in solid tumor has a negative effect on the generation of singlet oxygen. To address the hypoxia issues in PDT, leveraging alkyl radical is an available option due to the oxygen-independent feature. In this work, a new kind of organic nanoparticles (tripolyphosphate (TPP)-NN NPs) from porphyrin and radical initiator is developed. Under near-infrared light irradiation, TPP-NN NPs will split and release alkyl radical, which could induce obvious cytotoxicity both in normal and hypoxia environment. The photothermal-controlled generation of alkyl radical could significantly inhibit the growth of cervical cancer and show ignorable systemic toxicity. This activatable radical therapy opens up new possibilities for the application of PDT in hypoxia condition.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricated porphyrin-loaded shape memory polymer (SMP) film by cross-linking micellar particles prepared by co-assembly of porphyrin compounds and amphiphilic macromolecules formulated by copolymerization of 2-butoxy ethanol (BCS), methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA) acrylic acid (AA), and diacetone acrylamide (DAAM). The experimental results revealed that this film was able to respond to the red light in terms of photothermal effect enabled by the porphyrin filler. The photothermal-triggered shape memory behaviors of the film were further examined in detail. It was noteworthy that this material was expected to have potential applications in the biomedical field due to the excellent biocompatibility of the porphyrin filler and the red-light source, which was optimal and safe enough for biomedical treatment.

Abstract
Manipulating the cross-coupling of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to maximize the photothermal effect is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. Here, by taking advantage of the well-known tetrazole/alkene photoclick chemistry, we have demonstrated for the first time that small AuNPs (23 nm) decorated with both 2,5-diphenyltetrazole and methacrylic acid on their surfaces can form covalently crosslinked aggregates upon laser irradiation (λ=405 nm). In vitro studies indicated that the light-triggered assembling shifted the surface plasmon resonance of AuNPs significantly to near-infrared (NIR) regions, which as a consequence effectively enhanced the efficacy of photothermal therapy for 4T1 breast cancer cells. We thus believe that this new light-triggered cross-coupling approach might offer a valuable tool for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The core N-H units of planar porphyrins are often inaccessible to forming hydrogen-bonding complexes with acceptor molecules. This is due to the fact that the amine moieties are "shielded" by the macrocyclic system, impeding the formation of intermolecular H-bonds. However, methods exist to modulate the tetrapyrrole conformations and to reshape the vector of N-H orientation outwards, thus increasing their availability and reactivity. Strategies include the use of porpho(di)methenes and phlorins (calixphyrins), as well as saddle-distorted porphyrins. The former form cavities due to interruption of the aromatic system. The latter are highly basic systems and capable of binding anions and neutral molecules via N-H⋅⋅⋅X-type H-bonds. This Review discusses the role of porphyrin(oid) ligands in various coordination-type complexes, means to access the core for hydrogen bonding, the concept of conformational control, and emerging applications, such as organocatalysis and sensors.

Abstract
In vivo molecular imaging in the "transparent" near-infrared II (NIR-II) window has demonstrated impressive benefits in reaching millimeter penetration depths with high specificity and imaging quality. Previous NIR-II molecular imaging generally relied on high hepatic uptake fluorophores with an unclear mechanism and antibody-derived conjugates, suffering from inevitable nonspecific retention in the main organs/skin with a relatively low signal-to-background ratio. It is still challenging to synthesize a NIR-II fluorophore with both high quantum yield and minimal liver-retention feature. Herein, we identified the structural design and excretion mechanism of novel NIR-II fluorophores for NIR-II molecular imaging with an extremely clean background. With the optimized renally excreted fluorophore-peptide conjugates, superior NIR-II targeting imaging was accompanied by the improved signal-to-background ratio during tumor detection with reducing off-target tissue exposure. An unprecedented NIR-II imaging-guided microsurgery was achieved using such an imaging platform, which provides us with a great preclinical example to accelerate the potential clinical translation of NIR-II imaging.
