Multifunctional scaffolds for bone repair following age-related biological decline: Promising prospects for smart biomaterial-driven technologies. Biomaterials 2024; 311:122683. [PMID: 38954959 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
The repair of large bone defects due to trauma, disease, and infection can be exceptionally challenging in the elderly. Despite best clinical practice, bone regeneration within contemporary, surgically implanted synthetic scaffolds is often problematic, inconsistent, and insufficient where additional osteobiological support is required to restore bone. Emergent smart multifunctional biomaterials may drive important and dynamic cellular crosstalk that directly targets, signals, stimulates, and promotes an innate bone repair response following age-related biological decline and when in the presence of disease or infection. However, their role remains largely undetermined. By highlighting their mechanism/s and mode/s of action, this review spotlights smart technologies that favorably align in their conceivable ability to directly target and enhance bone repair and thus are highly promising for future discovery for use in the elderly. The four degrees of interactive scaffold smartness are presented, with a focus on bioactive, bioresponsive, and the yet-to-be-developed autonomous scaffold activity. Further, cell- and biomolecular-assisted approaches were excluded, allowing for contemporary examination of the capabilities, demands, vision, and future requisites of next-generation biomaterial-induced technologies only. Data strongly supports that smart scaffolds hold significant promise in the promotion of bone repair in patients with a reduced osteobiological response. Importantly, many techniques have yet to be tested in preclinical models of aging. Thus, greater clarity on their proficiency to counteract the many unresolved challenges within the scope of aging bone is highly warranted and is arguably the next frontier in the field. This review demonstrates that the use of multifunctional smart synthetic scaffolds with an engineered strategy to circumvent the biological insufficiencies associated with aging bone is a viable route for achieving next-generation therapeutic success in the elderly population.

Advancements in Nanomaterial Dispersion and Stability and Thermophysical Properties of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials for Biomedical Applications. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:1126. [PMID: 38998730 PMCID: PMC11243741 DOI: 10.3390/nano14131126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) are materials that exhibit thermal response characteristics, allowing them to be utilized in the biological field for precise and controllable temperature regulation. Due to considerations of biosafety and the spatial limitations within human tissue, the amount of PCMs used in medical applications is relatively small. Therefore, researchers often augment PCMs with various materials to enhance their performance and increase their practical value. The dispersion of nanoparticles to modify the thermophysical properties of PCMs has emerged as a mature concept. This paper aims to elucidate the role of nanomaterials in addressing deficiencies and enhancing the performance of PCMs. Specifically, it discusses the dispersion methods and stabilization mechanisms of nanoparticles within PCMs, as well as their effects on thermophysical properties such as thermal conductivity, latent heat, and specific heat capacity. Furthermore, it explores how various nano-additives contribute to improved thermal conductivity and the mechanisms underlying enhanced latent heat and specific heat. Additionally, the potential applications of PCMs in biomedical fields are proposed. Finally, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis and offers suggestions for future research to maximize the utilization of nanomaterials in enhancing the thermophysical properties of PCMs for biomedical applications.

Acidity-activated aggregation and accumulation of self-complementary zwitterionic peptide-decorated gold nanoparticles for photothermal biofilm eradication. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 663:1074-1086. [PMID: 38331692 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.02.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Drug-resistant biofilm infection is an extremely serious clinical problem, that easily leads to failure of antibiotic treatment. Although gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as photothermal agents have been widely used in biofilm eradication, there are still challenges to be addressed, such as insignificantly redshifted absorption and slow assembly process of aggregated AuNPs. Herein, we developed an acidity-activated dispersion-to-aggregation transition to enhance the accumulation of self-complementary zwitterionic peptide-decorated AuNPs for photothermal eradication of drug-resistant biofilm infections. AuNPs were decorated with self-complementary zwitterionic peptides (ZP1 and ZP2) coupled with pH-sensitive anhydride (DMA) and pH-insensitive anhydride (SA), respectively. ZP2-decorated AuNPs with DMA modification (AuNP@ZP2(DMA)) exhibited prolonged blood circulation and enhanced accumulation in acidic biofilm microenvironment. Moreover, the electrostatic attraction between self-complementary ligands drove AuNPs to form closely packed aggregates with strong near-infrared absorption, leading to in vivo photoacoustic imaging ability and photothermal effect against drug-resistant bacteria and fungus, as well as microbial biofilms. AuNP@ZP2(DMA) with longer charge domains and a polyethylene glycol oligomer spacer showed greater photothermal antimicrobial and biofilm resistance in vitro and in vivo. This study develops an innovative acidity-activated AuNP photothermal agent, which provides an effective approach for treatment of biofilm infections.

Abstract
This review focuses on the versatile applications of near-infrared (NIR)-responsive smart carriers in biomedical applications, particularly drug delivery and photothermal chemotherapy. These carriers demonstrate multi-responsive theranostics capabilities, including pH-dependent drug release, targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics, heat-mediated drug release, and photothermal tumor damage. Biological samples are transparent to NIR light with a suitable wavelength, and therefore, NIR light is advantageous for deep-tissue penetration. It also generates sufficient heat in tissue samples, which is beneficial for on-demand NIR-responsive drug delivery in vivo systems. The development of biocompatible materials with sufficient NIR light absorption properties and drug-carrying functionality has shown tremendous growth in the last five years. Thus, this review offers insights into the current research development of NIR-responsive materials with therapeutic potential and prospects aimed at overcoming challenges to improve the therapeutic efficacy and safety in the dynamic field of NIR-responsive drug delivery.

Abstract
Small-size gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are showing large potential in various fields, such as photothermal conversion, sensing, and medicine. However, current synthesis methods generally yield lower, resulting in a high cost. Here, we report a novel uni-micelle method for the controlled synthesis of monodisperse gold nanocrystals, in which there is only one kind micelle containing aqueous solution of reductant while the dual soluble Au (III) precursor is dissolved in oil phase. Our synthesis includes the reversible phase transfer of Au (III) and "uni-micelle" synthesis, employing a Au (III)-OA complex as an oil-soluble precursor. Size-controlled monodisperse AuNPs with a size of 4-11 nm are synthesized by tuning the size of the micelles, in which oleylamine (OA) is adsorbed on the shell of micelles and enhances the rigidity of the micelles, depressing micellar coalescence. Monodisperse AuNPs can be obtained through a one-time separation process with a higher yield of 61%. This method also offers a promising way for the controlled synthesis of small-size alloy nanoparticles and semiconductor heterojunction quantum dots.

Abstract
Antibacterial hydrogel wound dressings hold great potential in eliminating bacteria and accelerating the healing process. However, it remains a challenge to fabricate hydrogel wound dressings that simultaneously exhibit excellent mechanical and photothermal antibacterial properties. Here we report the development of polydopamine-functionalized graphene oxide (rGO@PDA)/calcium alginate (CA)/Polypyrrole (PPy) cotton fabric-reinforced hydrogels (abbreviated as rGO@PDA/CA/PPy FHs) for tackling bacterial infections. The mechanical properties of hydrogels were greatly enhanced by cotton fabric reinforcement and an interpenetrating structure, while excellent broad-spectrum photothermal antibacterial properties based on the photothermal effect were obtained by incorporating PPy and rGO@PDA. Results indicated that rGO@PDA/CA/PPy FHs exhibited superior tensile strength in both the warp (289 ± 62.1 N) and weft directions (142 ± 23.0 N), similarly to cotton fabric. By incorporating PPy and rGO@PDA, the swelling ratio was significantly decreased from 673.5% to 236.6%, while photothermal conversion performance was significantly enhanced with a temperature elevated to 45.0 °C. Due to the synergistic photothermal properties of rGO@PDA and PPy, rGO@PDA/CA/PPy FHs exhibited excellent bacteria-eliminating efficiency for S. aureus (0.57%) and E. coli (3.58%) after exposure to NIR for 20 min. We believe that the design of fabric-reinforced hydrogels could serve as a guideline for developing hydrogel wound dressings with improved mechanical properties and broad-spectrum photothermal antibacterial properties for infected-wound treatment.

Abstract
Solar-to-thermal conversion is a direct and effective way to absorb sunlight for heat via the rational design and control of photothermal materials. However, when exposed to water-existed conditions, the conventional solar-to-thermal performance may experience severe degradation owing to the high specific heat capacity of water. To tackle with the challenge, the water-repellent function is introduced to construct superhydrophobic solar-to-thermal materials (SSTMs) for achieving stable heating, and even, for creating new application possibilities under water droplets, sweat, seawater, and ice environments. An in-depth review of cutting-edge research of SSTMs is given, focusing on synergetic functions, typical construction methods, and cutting-edge potentials based on water medium. Moreover, the current challenges and future prospects based on SSTMs are also carefully discussed.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy to improve cancer therapeutic efficacy. However, developing a versatile nanoplatform that simultaneously possesses commendable photothermal effect and high drug encapsulation efficiency remains a challenging problem yet to be addressed. Herein, we report a facile supramolecular self-assembly strategy to construct gold nanoparticle clusters (AuNCs) for synergistic photothermal-chemo therapy. By utilizing the functional polysaccharide as a targeted ligand, hyaluronic acid-enriched AuNCs were endowed with targeting CD44 receptor overexpressed on the B16 cancer cells. Importantly, these hyaluronic acid modified AuNCs can shelter therapeutic cargo of doxorubicin (DOX) to aggregate larger nanoparticles via a host-guest interaction with the anchored β-cyclodextrin, as a "nanocluster-bomb" (DOX@AuNCs). The in vitro results revealed that these DOX@AuNCs showed light-triggered drug release behavior and synergistic photothermal-chemo therapy. The improved efficacy of synergistic therapy was further demonstrated by treating a xenografted B16 tumor model in vivo. We envision that our multipronged design of DOX@AuNCs provides a potent theranostic platform for precise cancer therapy and could be further enriched by introducing different imaging probes and therapeutic drugs as appropriate suitable guest molecules.

Abstract
Plasmonics and core-shell nanomaterials hold great potential to develop pharmaceuticals and medical equipment due to their eco-friendly and cost effective fabrication procedures. Despite these advancements, combating drug-resistant bacterial infections remains a global challenge. Therefore, this study aims to introduce a tailored theoretical framework for a one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal biosensor (PCB) composed of (ZrO2/GaN)N/defect layer/(ZrO2/GaN)N, designed to detect Gram-positive and Gram-negative bloodstream bacteria employing the transfer matrix method (TMM). In addition, using the finite difference methods (FDM), the photothermal inactivation of bloodstream bacteria with plasmonic core-shell structures (FeO@AuBiS2) was explored using key factors such as light absorption, heat generation, and thermal diffusion. By incorporating six dielectric layers and contaminated blood into the proposed PCB, a maximum sensitivity of 562 nm per RIU was recorded, and using rod-shaped plasmonic core-shell structures, 5.8 nm-1 light absorption capacity and 152 K change in temperature were achieved. The maximum detection sensitivity, light absorption, heat conduction and heat convection capacity of the proposed 1D PCB and plasmonic core-shell show an effective approach to combating drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Current treatment for chronic infectious wounds is limited due to severe drug resistance in certain bacteria. Therefore, the development of new composite hydrogels with nonantibiotic antibacterial and pro-wound repair is important. Here, we present a photothermal antibacterial composite hydrogel fabricated with a coating of Fe2+ cross-linked carboxymethyl chitosan (FeCMCS) following the incorporation of melanin nanoparticles (MNPs) and the CyRL-QN15 peptide. Various physical and photothermal properties of the hydrogel were characterized. Cell proliferation, migration, cycle, and free-radical scavenging activity were assessed, and the antimicrobial properties of the hydrogel were probed by photothermal therapy. The effects of the hydrogel were validated in a model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection with full-thickness injury. This effect was further confirmed by changes in cytokines associated with inflammation, re-epithelialization, and angiogenesis on the seventh day after wound formation. The MNPs demonstrated robust photothermal conversion capabilities. The composite hydrogel (MNPs/CyRL-QN15/FeCMCS) promoted keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation and migration while exhibiting high antibacterial efficacy, effectively killing more than 95% of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In vivo study using an MRSA-infected full-thickness injury model demonstrated good therapeutic efficacy of the hydrogel in promoting regeneration and remodeling of chronically infected wounds by alleviating inflammatory response and accelerating re-epithelialization and collagen deposition. The MNPs/CyRL-QN15/FeCMCS hydrogel showed excellent antibacterial and prohealing effects on infected wounds, indicating potential as a promising candidate for wound healing promotion.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major leading causes of death around the globe. Present treatment pipelines are insufficient to overcome the critical situation. Prominent biofilm forming human pathogens which can thrive in infection sites using adaptive features results in biofilm persistence. Considering the present scenario, prudential investigations into the mechanisms of resistance target them to improve antibiotic efficacy is required. Regarding this, developing newer and effective treatment options using edge cutting technologies in medical research is the need of time. The reasons underlying the adaptive features in biofilm persistence have been centred on different metabolic and physiological aspects. The high tolerance levels against antibiotics direct researchers to search for novel bioactive molecules that can help combat the problem. In view of this, the present review outlines the focuses on an opportunity of different strategies which are in testing pipeline can thus be developed into products ready to use.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has played a vital role in point-of-care (POC) testing on account of its simplicity, rapidity, and low cost. However, the low sensitivity and difficulty of quantitation limit its further development. Sensitive markers with new detection modes are being developed to dramatically improve LFIA's performance. Herein, a ligand-complex approach was proposed to uniformly coat a thin layer of Au onto Ag triangular nanoplates (Ag TNPs) without etching the Ag cores, which not only retain the unique optical properties from Ag TNPs but also acquire the surface stability and biocompatibility of gold. The localized surface plasmon resonance absorption of these Ag@Au TNPs could be finely adjusted from visible (550 nm) to the second near-infrared region (NIR-II) (1100 nm), and even longer, by simply adjusting the ratio between edge length and thickness. Utilizing the Ag@Au TNPs as new markers for LFIA, a highly sensitive colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode detection of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein was achieved with a very low background. The Ag@Au TNPs showed an exceedingly high photothermal conversion efficiency of 61.4% (ca. 2 times higher than that of Au nanorods), endowing the LFIA method with a low photothermal detection limit (40 pg/mL), which was 25-fold lower than that of the colorimetric results. The generality of the method was further verified by the sensitive and accurate analysis of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). This method is robust, reproducible, and highly specific and has been successfully applied to SARS-COV-2 detection in 35 clinical samples with satisfactory results, demonstrating its potential for POC applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacterial infection can delay wound healing and is therefore a major threat to public health. Although various strategies have been developed to treat bacterial infections, antibiotics remain the best option to combat infections. The inclusion of growth factors in the treatment approach can also accelerate wound healing. The co-delivery of antibiotics and growth factors for the combined treatment of wounds needs further investigation. OBJECTIVE Here we aimed to develop antibiotic and growth factor co-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) to treat Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds. METHODS By using our previously prepared reactive oxygen species-responsive material (Oxi-αCD), roxithromycin (ROX)-loaded NPs (ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs) and recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF)/ROX co-loaded NPs (rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs) were successfully fabricated. The in vivo efficacy of this prepared nanomedicine was evaluated in mice with S. aureus-infected wounds. RESULTS ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs and rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs had a spherical structure and their particle sizes were 164 ± 5 nm and 190 ± 8 nm, respectively. The in vitro antibacterial experiments showed that ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs had a lower minimum inhibitory concentration than ROX. The in vivo animal experiments demonstrated that rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs could significantly accelerate the healing of S. aureus-infected wounds as compared to the free ROX drug and ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION ROX and rhEGF co-loaded NPs can effectively eliminate bacteria in wounds and accelerate wound healing. Our present work could provide a new strategy to combat bacteria-infected wounds.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a critical tool to manipulate the sophisticated behavior of biological structures and has provided new research fields. Liquid-liquid phase-separated (LLPS) droplets gather attention as basic reaction fields in a living cell. Droplets play critical roles in regulating protein behavior, including enzyme compartmentalization, stress response, and disease pathogenesis. The dynamic manipulation of LLPS droplet formation/deformation has become a crucial target in nanobiotechnology. However, the development of nanodevices specifically designed for this purpose remains a challenge. Therefore, this study presents butterfly-shaped gold nanobutterflies (GNBs) as novel nanodevices for manipulating LLPS droplet dynamics. The growth process of the GNBs is analyzed via time-lapse electroscopic imaging, time-lapse spectroscopy, and additives assays. Interestingly, GNBs demonstrate the ability to induce LLPS droplet formation in systems such as adenosine triphosphate/poly-l-lysine and human immunoglobulin G, whereas spherical and rod-shaped gold nanoparticles exhibit no such capability. This indicates that the GNB concave surface interacts with the droplet precursors facilitating the LLPS droplet formation. Near-infrared-laser irradiation applied to GNBs enables on-demand deformation of the droplets through localized heat effects. GNB regulates the enzymatic reaction of lysozymes. The innovative design of GNBs presents a promising strategy for manipulating LLPS dynamics and offers exciting prospects for future research.

Abstract
This work presents a novel nanoparticle-based thermosensor implant able to reveal the precise temperature variations along the polymer filaments, as it contracts and expands due to changes in the macroscale local temperature. The multimodal device is able to trace the position and the temperature of a polypropylene mesh, employed in abdominal hernia repair, by combining plasmon resonance and Raman spectroscopy with hydrogel responsive system. The novelty relies on the attachment of the biocompatible nanoparticles, based on gold stabilized by a chitosan-shell, already charged with the Raman reporter (RaR) molecules, to the robust prosthesis, without the need of chemical linkers. The SERS enhanced effect observed is potentiated by the presence of a quite thick layer of the copolymer (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-poly(acrylamide)) hydrogel. At temperatures above the LCST of PNIPAAm-co-PAAm, the water molecules are expulsed and the hydrogel layer contracts, leaving the RaR molecules more accessible to the Raman source. In vitro studies with fibroblast cells reveal that the functionalized surgical mesh is biocompatible and no toxic substances are leached in the medium. The mesh sensor opens new frontiers to semi-invasive diagnosis and infection prevention in hernia repair by using SERS spectroscopy. It also offers new possibilities to the functionalization of other healthcare products.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds always have puzzled patients and caused serious social problems. Due to the lack of local blood vessels, severe hypoxia is generated in the defect area, which is an essential reason for the difficulty of wound healing. We have constructed a photocatalytic oxygen evolution and antibacterial biomimetic repair membrane to solve the problems of wound repair. A scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope characterized the biomimetic repair membrane. The oxygen evolution of the biomimetic membrane was tested by an oxygen meter. The excellent antibacterial performance of the biomimetic repair membrane was also verified by co-culture with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It was confirmed that the expression of collagen and HIF1-α in fibroblasts was significantly increased in vitro. And the mitochondrial activity of the vascular and nerve was increased considerably. In vivo, the healing time of diabetes wounds treated with the biomimetic repair membrane was significantly reduced, the collagen and the number of pores were increased considerably, and vascular regeneration was enhanced. The biomimetic repair membrane has an excellent performance in photocatalytic oxygen evolution and antibacterial and can significantly promote the repair of diabetes wounds. This will provide a promising treatment for diabetes wound repair.

Abstract
The rapid development of antimicrobial resistance due to broad antibiotic utilisation in the healthcare and food industries and the non-availability of novel antibiotics represents one of the most critical public health issues worldwide. Current advances in nanotechnology allow new materials to address drug-resistant bacterial infections in specific, focused, and biologically safe ways. The unique physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and wide range of adaptability of nanomaterials that exhibit photothermal capability can be employed to develop the next generation of photothermally induced controllable hyperthermia as antibacterial nanoplatforms. Here, we review the current state of the art in different functional classes of photothermal antibacterial nanomaterials and strategies to optimise antimicrobial efficiency. The recent achievements and trends in developing photothermally active nanostructures, including plasmonic metals, semiconductors, and carbon-based and organic photothermal polymers, and antibacterial mechanisms of action, including anti-multidrug-resistant bacteria and biofilm removal, will be discussed. Insights into the mechanisms of the photothermal effect and various factors influencing photothermal antimicrobial performance, emphasising the structure-performance relationship, are discussed. We will examine the photothermal agents' functionalisation for specific bacteria, the effects of the near-infrared light irradiation spectrum, and active photothermal materials for multimodal synergistic-based therapies to minimise side effects and maintain low costs. The most relevant applications are presented, such as antibiofilm formation, biofilm penetration or ablation, and nanomaterial-based infected wound therapy. Practical antibacterial applications employing photothermal antimicrobial agents, alone or in synergistic combination with other nanomaterials, are considered. Existing challenges and limitations in photothermal antimicrobial therapy and future perspectives are presented from the structural, functional, safety, and clinical potential points of view.

Abstract
Personal protective textiles have attracted extensive interest since Corona Virus Disease 2019 has broken out. Moreover, developing eco-friendly, multifunctional waterproof, and breathable surface is of great importance but still faces enormous challenges. Notably, good hydrophobicity and breathability are necessary for protective textiles, especially protective clothing and face masks for healthcare. Herein, the multifunctional composite coatings with good UV-resistant, anti-oxidative, hydrophobic, breathable, and photothermal performance has been rapidly created to meet protective requirements. First, the gallic acid and chitosan polymer was coated onto the cotton fabric surface. Subsequently, the modified silica sol was anchored on the coated cotton fabric surface. The successful fabrication of composite coatings was verified by RGB values obtained from the smartphone and K/S value. The present work is an advance for realizing textile hydrophobicity by utilizing fluorine-free materials, compared with the surface hydrophobicity fabricated with conventional fluorinated materials. The surface free energy has been reduced from 84.2 to 27.6 mJ/m2 so that the modified cotton fabric could repel the ethylene glycol, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide solutions, respectively. Besides, the composite coatings possesses lower adhesion to deionized water. After 70 cycles of the sandpaper abrasion, the fluorine-free hydrophobic coatings still exhibits good hydrophobicity with WCA of 124.6 ± 0.9°, with overcoming the intrinsic drawback of the poor abrasion resistance of hydrophobic surfaces. Briefly, the present work may provide a universal strategy for rapidly creating advanced protective coatings to meet personal healthcare, and a novel method for detecting RGB values of composite coatings by smartphone.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has become an attractive approach for cancer treatment due to its merits of minimal invasiveness, location selectivity, and suitability for various cancer types. In PTT, photosensitizers are usually adopted to convert light to heat at tumor site, thereby generating heat-induced necroptosis or apoptosis. Therefore, the performance of photosensitizer (e.g., photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), surface property, tumor accumulation and retention, etc.) determines the clinical manifestation of PTT. Currently, the poor tumor retention and potential long-term toxicity are two main obstacles for developing efficient photosensitizers. To address these issues, we have developed an in vivo tumor microenvironment stimuli-responsive self-assembled photosensitizer, which consists of a biomolecule, adenosine monophosphate (AMP) modified gold nanoparticles (AAu NPs), to enhance the accumulation and retention within tumor tissue for efficient PTT.
Results
The obtained AAu NPs with a hydrodynamic diameter of 9.12 ± 0.82 nm have excellent colloidal stability in aqueous solution. No sediments can be observed in the AAu NPs aqueous phase even after several months. The temperature of AAu aqueous suspension is elevated to 53.0 ℃ within 8 min at a low particle concentration of 80 μg/mL. A high PCE of 62.8% is obtained for AAu NPs based on the temperature change curves. The near-infrared (NIR) absorption and PCE of AAu NPs are enhanced compared to the surfactant-free Au NPs, enabling excellent photothermal cell-killing in vitro. When the AAu NPs arrive at the tumor tissue, they quickly form large aggregates via a collagen-induced assembly, leading to enhanced NIR absorption and improved tumor accumulation and retention, which enables a high PTT efficacy in vivo at a low photosensitizer dose of 40 μg and a low laser power density of 1.91 W/cm2.
Conclusions
A collagen-induced self-assembled gold photosensitizer for efficient PTT has been synthesized based on a biomolecule, AMP modification method. The synthesized AAu NPs with high PTT efficacy, superior biosafety and fast excretion from the body is an effective therapeutic agent in photothermal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Drug carriers endowed with photothermal effects will allow the drug delivery system to release drugs in a thermal-stimuli manner. In addition, the photothermal therapy (PTT) will also interplay with therapeutic drugs loaded in the carrier to exhibit synergistic bioactivity for various disease treatment. However, endowing the drug carrier with photothermal and synergistic therapeutic effects still has challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that surface modification of porous silicon (PSi) with polydopamine (PDA) could endow the classical drug carrier with a significant photothermal effect for advanced antibacterial therapy and wound disinfection. Specifically, the PSi surface interacts with a Cu2+/PDA complex via a simple and fast surface reduction-induced deposition method, forming the unique CuPDA coated PSi microcarrier (CuPPSi) without blocking the mesoporous structure. The CuPPSi carrier generates a higher near-infrared (NIR) photothermal efficiency and improved drug loading capacity owing to the abundant functional groups of PDA. Stimuli-responsive release of antibacterial Cu2+ and loaded curcumin (Cur) from CuPPSi can be realized under multiple stimuli including pH, reactive oxygen species and NIR laser irradition. Benefited from the carrier's intrinsic multimodal therapy, the CuPPSi-Cur platform exhibits amplified, broad-spectrum, and synergistic antibacterial effect, killing more than 98% for both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli at a mild PTT temperature (∼45 °C). Notably, the combined therapy promotes migration of fibroblasts with no significant cytotoxicity as revealed through cell experiments in vitro. In bacteria-infected mice model, efficient bacterial ablation and wound healing are further demonstrated with negligible side effects in vivo. Overall, the rational design of a drug carrier with photothermal and therapeutic effects provides a novel intervention for amplifing wound disinfection clinically.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug carriers are being pursued intensely to overcome the skin barrier and improve even hydrophilic or macromolecular drug delivery into or across the skin efficiently. Over the past few years, the application of gold nanoparticles as a novel kind of drug carrier for skin drug delivery has attracted increasing attention because of their unique properties and versatility. In this review, we summarized the possible factors contributing to the penetration behaviors of gold nanoparticles, including size, surface chemistry, and shape. Drug loading, release, and penetration patterns were captured towards implicating the design of gold nanoparticles for dermal or transdermal drug delivery. Physical methods applicable for future enhancing the delivery efficacy of GNPs were also presented, which mainly included microneedles and iontophoresis. As a promising "drug", the inherent activities of GNPs were finally discussed, especially regarding their application in the treatment of skin disease. Thus, this paper provided a comprehensive review of the use of gold nanoparticles for skin drug delivery, which would help the design of multifunctional systems for skin drug delivery based on gold nanoparticles.

Abstract
The development of intelligent designs of new antibacterial modalities for diagnosing and treating chronic multidrug-resistant bacterial infections is an urgent need, but achieving the precisive theranostic in response to specific inflammatory microenvironments remains a great challenge. This paper describes our work designing and demonstrating infection microenvironment-activated core-shell Gd-doped Bi2S3@Cu(II) boron imidazolate framework (Bi2S3:Gd@Cu-BIF) nanoassemblies. Upon exposure to a single beam of 808 nm laser, Bi2S3:Gd@Cu-BIF nanoassemblies showed exceptional photothermal conversion (η = 52.6%) and produced several cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, such as singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals, by depleting the intracellular glutathione and in-situ catalyzing the decomposition of endogenous hydrogen peroxide in the inflammatory microenvironment. The broad-spectrum antibacterial properties of nanoassemblies were confirmed to be effective against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with an inhibition rate of 99.99% in vitro. Additionally, in vivo wound-healing studies revealed that Bi2S3:Gd@Cu-BIF nanoassemblies could serve as an effective wound spray to accelerate healing following MRSA infections via photothermal/chemodynamic (PTT/CDT) synergistic therapy. The effective wound healing rate in the synergistic treatment group was 99.8%, which is higher than the 69.5% wound healing rate in the control group. Furthermore, magnetic resonance and computed tomography dual-modal imaging mediated by Bi2S3:Gd@Cu-BIF nanoassemblies also exhibits promising potential as an integrated diagnostic nanoplatform. Overall, this work provides useful insights for developing all-in-one theranostic nanoplatforms for clinical treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: New treatments and effective diagnostic strategies are critical for fighting drug-resistant bacterial infections. Infection microenvironment-activated Bi2S3@Cu-BIF nanoassemblies can simultaneously increase eigen temperature and generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, such as singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals, under near-infrared laser irradiation, achieving the synergistic effect of photothermal and chemodynamic therapy, which has been proven to be highly effective for inhibiting bacterial activity and speeding wound healing from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. More importantly, the nanoassemblies could enable early precise visualized detection of bacterial abscess using magnetic resonance/computed tomography dual-modal bio-imaging techniques.

Abstract
Bacteria-infected wounds have imposed serious challenges in human health whereas the abuse of antibiotics makes bacteria drug-resistant and becoming more and more difficult to deal with. Herein, we developed a drug-free three-layered photothermal bactericide from inside to outside consisting of copper sulfide (CuS), gold (Au) and zinc-doped Prussian blue analogues (ZnPBA) (named as CuS@Au@ZnPBA). The CuS@Au@ZnPBA was demonstrated to possess remarkably-improved photothermal property and excellent biosafety. Local heat generated by CuS@Au@ZnPBA under the irradiation of 808 nm laser enables efficient bacteria ablation in vitro and in a mouse model of cutaneous wound infection. Meanwhile, the released zinc ions (Zn2+) could upregulate the genes involved in collagen deposition to accelerate wound healing. Overall, the finely-designed nanocomposites can serve as a promising kind of antibacterial alternative to current antibiotic therapies against bacterial wound infections.

Abstract
As a promising technique to potentially address the energy crisis and environmental issues, photocatalysis has been reported widely to exhibit various outstanding behaviors in production of new fuels/chemicals and treatment of contaminants. The photocatalytic performance is extremely dependent on the used photocatalysts, so that the design and preparation of efficient photocatalysts are critically important for significantly improving the photocatalytic activity. Among various strategies, the hybridization of metal with semiconductors has recently been attracting more and more research interest owing to their expended spectral absorption, promoted transferring rate of charge carriers and Plasmon-enhanced effect. In this minireview, the metal-facilitated hybrid photocatalysts are overviewed comprehensively to first reveal unique functions of metals in improvement of photoactivity and summarize the emerging metal-involved hybrid systems. Subsequently, the synthetic methods towards hybrid photocatalysts are introduced and their practical applications are emphasized in environmental remediation including degradation of organic pollutants, conversion of harmful gases, treatment of heavy metal ions and sterilization of bacteria. At the end, the challenges for industrializing these hybrid photocatalysts are discussed carefully and future development is suggested rationally.

Abstract
Coupling two different materials to create a hybrid nanostructured system is a powerful strategy for achieving synergistically enhanced properties and advanced functionalities. In the case of Au and Cu2-x S, their combination on the nanoscale results in dual plasmonic Au-Cu2-x S nanocomposites that exhibit intense photon absorption in both the visible and the near-infrared spectral ranges. Their strong light-absorbing properties translate to superior photothermal transduction efficiency, making them attractive in photothermal-based applications. There are several nanostructure configurations that are possible for the Au-Cu2-x S system, and the successful fabrication of a particular architecture often requires a carefully planned synthetic strategy. In this Minireview, the different synthetic approaches that can be employed to produce rationally designed Au-Cu2-x S nanocomposites are presented, with a focus on the experimental protocols that can lead to heterodimer, core-shell, reverse core-shell, and yolk-shell configurations. The photothermal behavior of these materials is also discussed, providing a glimpse of their potential use as photothermally active agents in therapeutic and theranostic applications.

Abstract
Photothermal treatment (PTT) is a promising strategy to deal with multidrug-resistant bacteria infection and promote tissue regeneration. Previous studies demonstrated that hyperthermia can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, whereas mild heat can promote cell proliferation, further accelerating wound healing and bone regeneration. Especially, hydrogels with photothermal properties could achieve remotely controlled drug release. In this review, we introduce a photothermal agent hybrid in hydrogels for a photothermal effect. We also summarize the potential mechanisms of photothermal hydrogels regarding antibacterial action, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Furthermore, recent developments in photothermal hydrogels in wound healing and bone regeneration applications are introduced. Finally, future application of photothermal hydrogels is discussed. Hydrogels with photothermal effects provide a new direction for wound healing and bone regeneration, and this review will give a reference for the tissue engineering.

Abstract
Hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs) are core/shell structures with a dielectric material core, usually composed of solvent, and a gold metal shell. Such structures have two metal/dielectric interfaces to allow interaction between the gold metal with the interior and external dielectric environment. Upon illumination by light, HGNs exhibit unique surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties compared to solid gold nanoparticles. Their SPR absorption/scattering can be tuned by changing their diameter, shell thicknesses, and surface morphologies. In addition to the low toxicity, easy functionalization, resistance to photobleaching, and sensitivity to changes in surrounding medium of gold, the enhanced surface-to-volume ratio and tunable SPR of HGNs make them highly attractive for different applications in the fields of sensing, therapy, and theranostics. In this article, we review recent progress on the synthesis and structural control of HGNs and applications of their SPR properties in biomedical sensing and theranostics. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing Diagnostic Tools > in vitro Nanoparticle-Based Sensing Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.
