Abstract
Although research on photodynamic therapy (PDT) of malignant tumor has made considerable progress in recent years, it is a remaining challenge to extend PDT to the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) along with real-time and accurate NIR-II fluorescence imaging to determine drug enrichment status and achieve high treatment efficacy. In this work, lanthanide nanoparticles (Ln NPs)-based nanoplatform (LCR) equipped with photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and targeting molecular NH2-PEG1000-cRGDfK are developed, which can achieve NIR-II photodynamic therapy (PDT) and NIR-II fluorescence imaging by dual channel excitation. Under 808 nm excitation, Nd3+ in the outer layer can absorb the energy and transfer inward to emit strong NIR-II emissions (1064 and 1525 nm). Due to the low background noise of NIR-II light and the targeting effect of NH2-PEG1000-cRGDfK, LCR can recognize tiny tumor tissue (≈3 mm) and monitor drug distribution in vivo. Under 1530 nm excitation, internal Er3+ can be self-sensitized, generating intense upconversion emission (662 nm) that can effectively activate Ce6 for in vivo PDT due to the deep tissue penetration of NIR-II light. This study provides a paradigm of theranostic nanoplatform for both real-time fluorescence imaging and PDT of orthotopic breast tumor in NIR-II window.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) has been widely used in the treatment of a variety of tumors. Compared with other therapeutic methods, this treatment has the advantages of high efficiency, strong penetration, and controllable treatment range. PDT kills tumors by generating a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes oxidative stress in the tumor. However, this killing effect is significantly inhibited by the tumor's own resistance to ROS. This is because tumors can either deplete ROS by high concentration of glutathione (GSH) or stimulate autophagy to eliminate ROS-generated damage. Furthermore, the tumor can also consume ROS through the lactic acid metabolic pathway, ultimately hindering therapeutic progress. To address this conundrum, we developed a UCNP-based nanocomposite for enhanced PDT by reducing tumor ROS resistance. First, Ce6-doped SiO2 encapsulated UCNPs to ensure the efficient energy transfer between UCNPs and Ce6. Then, the biodegradable tetrasulfide bond-bridged mesoporous organosilicon (MON) was coated on the outer layer to load chloroquine (CQ) and α-cyano4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA). Finally, hyaluronic acid was utilized to modify the nanomaterials to realize an active-targeting ability. The obtained final product was abbreviated as UCNPs@MON@CQ/CHCA@HA. Under 980 nm laser irradiation, upconverted red light from UCNPs excited Ce6 to produce a large amount of singlet oxygen (1O2), thus achieving efficient PDT. The loaded CQ and CHCA in MON achieved multichannel enhancement of PDT. Specifically, CQ blocked the autophagy process of tumor cells, and CHCA inhibited the uptake of lactic acid by tumor cells. In addition, the coated MON consumed a high level of intracellular GSH. In this way, these three functions complemented each other, just as the "three musketeers" punctured ROS resistance in tumors from multiple angles, and both in vitro and in vivo experiments had demonstrated the elevated PDT efficacy of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Diverse microorganisms live as biofilm in the mouth accounts for oral diseases and treatment failure. For decades, the prevention and treatment of oral biofilm is a global challenge. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) holds promise for oral biofilm elimination due to its several traits, including broad-spectrum antimicrobial capacity, lower possibility of resistance and low cytotoxicity. However, the physicochemical properties of photosensitizers and the biological barrier of oral biofilm have limited the efficiency of aPDT. Nanomaterials has been used to fabricate nanocarriers to improve photosensitizer properties and thus enhance antimicrobial effect. In this review, we have discussed the challenges of aPDT used in dentistry, categorized the nanomaterial-delivery system and listed the possible mechanisms involved in nanomaterials when enhancing aPDT effect.

Abstract
The nonviral delivery systems that combine genes with photosensitizers for multimodal tumor gene/photodynamic therapy (PDT) have attracted much attention. In this study, a series of ROS-sensitive cationic bola-lipids were applied for the gene/photosensitizer codelivery. Zn-DPA was introduced as a cationic headgroup to enhance DNA binding, while the hydrophobic linking chains may facilitate the formation of lipid nanoparticles (LNP) and the encapsulation of photosensitizer Ce6. The length of the hydrophobic chain played an important role in the gene transfection process, and 14-TDZn containing the longest chains showed better DNA condensation, gene transfection, and cellular uptake. 14-TDZn LNPs could well load photosensitizer Ce6 to form 14-TDC without a loss of gene delivery efficiency. 14-TDC was used for codelivery of p53 and Ce6 to achieve enhanced therapeutic effects on the tumor cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis. Results showed that the codelivery system was more effective in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation than individual p53 or Ce6 monotherapy. Mechanism studies showed that the production of ROS after Ce6 irradiation could increase the accumulation of p53 protein in tumor cells, thereby promoting caspase-3 activation and inducing apoptosis, indicating some synergistic effect. These results demonstrated that 14-TDC may serve as a promising nanocarrier for gene/PDT combination therapy.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria has significantly diminished the efficacy of existing antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections. Consequently, the need for finding a strategy capable of effectively combating bacterial infections has become increasingly urgent. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered one of the most promising emerging antibacterial strategies due to its non-invasiveness, low adverse effect, and the fact that it does not lead to the development of drug resistance. However, bacteria at the infection sites often exist in the form of biofilm instead of the planktonic form, resulting in a hypoxic microenvironment. This phenomenon compromises the treatment outcome of oxygen-dependent type-II PDT. Compared to type-II PDT, type-I PDT is not constrained by the oxygen concentration in the infected tissues. Therefore, in the treatment of bacterial infections, type-I PDT exhibits significant advantages over type-II PDT. In this review, we first introduce the fundamental principles of type-I PDT in details, including its physicochemical properties and how it generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). Next, we explore several specific antimicrobial mechanisms utilized by type-I PDT and summarize the recent applications of type-I PDT in antimicrobial treatment. Finally, the limitations and future development directions of type-I photosensitizers are discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The misuse and overuse of antibiotics have accelerated the development of bacterial resistance. To achieve the effective eradication of resistant bacteria, pathfinders have devised various treatment strategies. Among these strategies, type I photodynamic therapy has garnered considerable attention owing to its non-oxygen dependence. The utilization of non-oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy not only enables the effective elimination of drug-resistant bacteria but also facilitates the successful eradication of hypoxic biofilms, which exhibits promising prospects for treating biofilm-associated infections. Based on the current research status, we anticipate that the novel type I photodynamic therapy agent can surmount the biofilm barrier, enabling efficient treatment of hypoxic biofilm infections.

Abstract
Synergistic phototherapy stands for superior treatment prospects than a single phototherapeutic modality. However, the combined photosensitizers often suffer from incompatible excitation mode, limited irradiation penetration depth, and lack of specificity. We describe the development of upconversion dual-photosensitizer-expressing bacteria (UDPB) for near-infrared monochromatically excitable combination phototherapy. UDPB are prepared by integrating genetic engineering and surface modification, in which bacteria are encoded to simultaneously express photothermal melanin and phototoxic KillerRed protein and the surface primary amino groups are derived to free thiols for biorthogonal conjugation of upconversion nanoparticles. UDPB exhibit a near-infrared monochromatic irradiation-mediated dual-activation characteristic as the photothermal conversion of melanin can be initiated directly, while the photodynamic effect of KillerRed can be stimulated indirectly by upconverted visible light emission. UDPB also show living features to colonize hypoxic lesion sites and inhibit pathogens via bacterial community competition. In two murine models of solid tumor and skin wound infection, UDPB separately induce robust antitumor response and a rapid wound healing effect.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process that requires effective management to prevent infections and promote efficient tissue regeneration. In recent years, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have emerged as promising materials for wound dressing applications due to their unique optical properties and potential therapeutic functionalities. These nanoparticles possess enhanced antibacterial properties when functionalized with antibacterial agents, helping to prevent infections, a common complication in wound healing. They can serve as carriers for controlled drug delivery, enabling targeted release of therapeutic agents to the wound site, allowing for tailored treatment and optimal healing conditions. These nanoparticles possess the ability to convert near-infrared (NIR) light into the visible and/or ultraviolet (UV) regions, making them suitable for therapeutic (photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy) and diagnostic applications. In the context of wound healing, these nanoparticles can be combined with other materials such as hydrogels, fibers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), graphene oxide, etc., to enhance the healing process and prevent the growth of microbial infections. Notably, UCNPs can act as sensors for real-time monitoring of the wound healing progress, providing valuable feedback to healthcare professionals. Despite their potential, the use of UCNPs in wound dressing applications faces several challenges. Ensuring the stability and biocompatibility of UCNPs under physiological conditions is crucial for their effective integration into dressings. Comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluations are necessary to understand potential risks and optimize UCNP-based dressings. Scalability and cost-effectiveness of UCNP synthesis and manufacturing processes are important considerations for practical applications. In addition, efficient incorporation of UCNPs into dressings, achieving uniform distribution, poses an important challenge that needs to be addressed. Future research should prioritize addressing concerns regarding stability and biocompatibility, efficient integration into dressings, rigorous safety evaluation, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate the advantages, challenges, and key properties of UCNPs in wound dressing applications to provide insights into their potential as innovative solutions for enhancing wound healing outcomes. We have provided a detailed description of various types of smart wound dressings, focusing on the synthesis and biomedical applications of UCNPs, specifically their utilization in different types of wound dressings.

Abstract
The active delivery of nanodrugs has been a bottleneck problem in nanomedicine. While modification of nanodrugs with targeting agents can enhance their retention at the lesion location, the transportation of nanodrugs in the circulation system is still a passive process. The navigation of nanodrugs with external forces such as magnetic field has been shown to be effective for active delivery, but the existing techniques are limited to specific materials like magnetic nanoparticles. In this study, an alternative actuation method is proposed based on optical manipulation for remote navigation of nanodrugs in vivo, which is compatible with most of the common drug carriers and exhibits significantly higher manipulation precision. By the programmable scanning of the laser beam, the motion trajectory and velocity of the nanodrugs can be precisely controlled in real time, making it possible for intelligent drug delivery, such as inverse-flow transportation, selective entry into specific vascular branch, and dynamic circumvention across obstacles. In addition, the controlled mass delivery of nanodrugs can be realized through indirect actuation by the microflow field. The developed optical manipulation method provides a new solution for the active delivery of nanodrugs, with promising potential for the treatment of blood diseases such as leukemia and thrombosis.

Abstract
As a monumental breakthrough in cancer treatment, immunotherapy has attracted tremendous attention in recent years. However, one challenge faced by immunotherapy is the low response rate and the immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Therefore, it is important to explore new therapeutic strategies and platforms for boosting therapeutic benefits and decreasing the side effects of immunotherapy. In recent years, semiconducting polymer (SP), a category of organic materials with π-conjugated aromatic backbone, has been attracting considerable attention because of their outstanding characteristics such as excellent photophysical features, good biosafety, adjustable chemical flexibility, easy fabrication, and high stability. With these distinct advantages, SP is extensively explored for bioimaging and photo- or ultrasound-activated tumor therapy. Here, the recent advancements in SP-based nanomedicines are summarized for enhanced tumor immunotherapy. According to the photophysical properties of SPs, the cancer immunotherapies enabled by SPs with the photothermal, photodynamic, or sonodynamic functions are highlighted in detail, with a particular focus on the construction of combination immunotherapy and activatable nanoplatforms to maximize the benefits of cancer immunotherapy. Herein, new guidance and comprehensive insights are provided for the design of SPs with desired photophysical properties to realize maximized effectiveness of required biomedical applications.

Ren F, Huang H, Yang H, Xia B, Ma Z, Zhang Y, Wu F, Li C, He T, Wang Q. Tailoring Near-Infrared-IIb Fluorescence of Thulium(III) by Nanocrystal Structure Engineering. NANO LETTERS 2023; 23:10058-10065. [PMID: 37877757 DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.3c03543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
Currently, mainstream lanthanide probes with fluorescence located in the second near-infrared subwindow of 1500-1700 nm (NIR-IIb) are predominantly Er(III)-based nanoparticles (NPs). Here we report a newly developed NIR-IIb fluorescent nanoprobe, α-Tm NP (cubic-phase NaYF4@NaYF4:Tm@NaYF4), with an emission at 1630 nm. We activate the 1630 nm emission of Tm(III) in α-Tm NP through the large spread of the Stark split sublevels induced by the crystal-field effect of the α-NaYF4 host. Further, we systematically investigated the effect of crystalline structure of the host NaYF4 NP (cubic phase (α) or hexagonal phase (β)), the type and concentrations of dopants (Yb(III), Tm(III), and Ca(II) ions) in the α-phase host, and the thicknesses of the interlayer and inert shell on the NIR-IIb fluorescence of Tm(III). The ultimate nanostructure presents a significant enhancement factor of the NIR-IIb photoluminescence intensity of Tm(III) up to ∼315. With this bright NIR-IIb fluorescent nanoprobe, we demonstrate high-spatial-resolution time-coursing imaging of breast cancer bone metastasis.

Abstract
Light has profoundly impacted modern medicine and healthcare, with numerous luminescent agents and imaging techniques currently being used to assess health and treat diseases. As an emerging concept in luminescence, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has shown great potential in biological applications due to its advantages in terms of brightness, biocompatibility, photostability, and positive correlation with concentration. This review provides a comprehensive summary of AIE luminogens applied in imaging of biological structure and dynamic physiological processes, disease diagnosis and treatment, and detection and monitoring of specific analytes, followed by representative works. Discussions on critical issues and perspectives on future directions are also included. This review aims to stimulate the interest of researchers from different fields, including chemistry, biology, materials science, medicine, etc., thus promoting the development of AIE in the fields of life and health.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are rapidly emerging, coupled with the failure of current antibiotic therapy; thus, new alternatives for effectively treating infections caused by MDR bacteria are required. Hyperthermia-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) have attracted extensive attention as antibacterial therapies owing to advantages such as low invasiveness, low toxicity, and low likelihood of causing bacterial resistance. However, both strategies have notable drawbacks, including the high temperature requirements of PTT and the weak ability of PDT-derived ROS to penetrate target cells. To overcome these limitations, a combination of PTT and PDT has been used against MDR bacteria. In this review, we discuss the unique benefits and limitations of PTT and PDT against MDR bacteria. The mechanisms underlying the synergistic effects of the PTT–PDT combination are also discussed. Furthermore, we introduced advancements in antibacterial methods using nano-based PTT and PDT agents to treat infections caused by MDR bacteria. Finally, we highlight the existing challenges and future perspectives of synergistic PTT–PDT combination therapy against infections caused by MDR bacteria. We believe that this review will encourage synergistic PTT- and PDT-based antibacterial research and can be referenced for future clinical applications.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early diagnosis and effective therapeutic interventions are critical determinants that can improve survival and quality of life in breast cancer patients. Nanotheranostics are emerging interventions that offer the dual benefit of in vivo diagnosis and therapeutics through a single nano-sized carrier. Rare earth metal-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with their ability to convert near-infrared light to visible light or UV light in vivo settings have gained special attraction due to their unique luminescence and tumor-targeting properties. In this review, we have discussed applications of UCNPs in drug and gene delivery, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and tumor targeting in breast cancer. Further, present challenges and future opportunities for UCNPs in breast cancer treatment have also been mentioned.

Upconversion nanoparticles@AgBiS 2 core-shell nanoparticles with cancer-cell-specific cytotoxicity for combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy of cancers. Bioact Mater 2022; 17:71-80. [PMID: 35386437 PMCID: PMC8958283 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.01.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 01/03/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
UCNPs@AgBiS2 core-shell nanoparticles that AgBiS2 coated on the surface of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) was successfully prepared through an ion exchange reaction. The photothermal conversion efficiency of AgBiS2 can be improved from 14.7% to 45% due to the cross relaxation between Nd ions and AgBiS2. The doping concentration of Nd ions played a critical role in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhanced the photothermal conversion efficiency. The NaYF4:Yb/Er/Nd@NaYF4:Nd nanoparticles endows strong upconversion emissions when the doped concentration of Nd ions is 1% in the inner core, which excites the AgBiS2 shell to produce ROS for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer cells. As a result, the as-prepared NaYF4:Yb/Er/Nd@NaYF4:Nd@AgBiS2 core-shell nanoparticles showed combined photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) against malignant tumors. This work provides an alternative near-infrared light-active multimodal nanostructures for applications such as fighting against cancers.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) based on intratumoral generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been playing crucial roles in conquering tumors. However, the above therapeutic methods are still constrained by the overexpressed tumor glutathione (GSH) and intrinsic tumor resistance to conventional organic photosensitizers. Herein, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LDNPs) were coated with inorganic bimetallic copper and manganese silicate nanospheres (CMSNs) and modified with sodium alginate (SA) for second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) imaging-guided CDT and PDT. Interestingly, cross-relaxation (CR) pathways between Ce3+ and Ho3+ and CR between Ce3+ and Er3+ are fully exploited to enable dual-mode upconversion (UC) and NIR-II downconversion (DC) emissions of LDNPs under 980 nm laser excitation. UC emission can induce CMSNs to produce toxic singlet oxygen (1O2) for PDT, and the released Mn2+ and Cu+ ions caused by GSH-induced degradation of CMSNs can react with endogenous H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radical (˙OH) for CDT. Significantly, the ultrabright NIR-II DC emission endows the systems with exceptional optical imaging capabilities. All results affirm the potency of such an "all in one" theranostic nanomedicine integrating PDT, CDT and remarkable NIR-II imaging abilities accompanied by the function of modulating tumor microenvironment in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-established treatment of cancer that uses the toxic reactive oxygen species, including singlet oxygen (1O2), generated by photosensitiser drugs following irradiation of a specific wavelength to destroy the cancerous cells and tumours. Visible light is commonly used as the excitation source in PDT, which is not ideal for cancer treatment due to its reduced tissue penetration, and thus inefficiency to treat deep-lying tumours. Additionally, these wavelengths exhibit elevated autofluorescence background from the biological tissues which hinders optical biomedical imaging. An alternative to UV-Vis irradiation is the use of near infrared (NIR) excitation for PDT. This can be achieved using upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) functionalised with photosensitiser (PS) drugs where UCNPs can be used as an indirect excitation source for the activation of PS drugs yielding to the production of singlet 1O2 following NIR excitation. The use of nanoparticles for PDT is also beneficial due to their tumour targeting capability, either passively via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect or actively via stimuli-responsive targeting and ligand-mediated targeting (ie. using recognition units that can bind specific receptors only present or overexpressed on tumour cells). Here, we review recent advances in NIR upconverting nanomaterials for PDT of cancer with a clear distinction between those reported nanoparticles that could potentially target the tumour due to accumulation via the EPR effect (passive targeting) and nanoparticle-based systems that contain targeting agents with the aim of actively target the tumour via a molecular recognition process.

Abstract
Radiotherapy, a mainstay of first-line cancer treatment, suffers from its high-dose radiation-induced systemic toxicity and radioresistance caused by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The synergy between radiosensitization and immunomodulation may overcome these obstacles for advanced radiotherapy. Here, the authors propose a radiosensitization cooperated with stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway activation strategy by fabricating a novel lanthanide-doped radiosensitizer-based metal-phenolic network, NaGdF4 :Nd@NaLuF4 @PEG-polyphenol/Mn (DSPM). The amphiphilic PEG-polyphenol successfully coordinates with NaGdF4 :Nd@NaLuF4 (radiosensitizer) and Mn2+ via robust metal-phenolic coordination. After cell internalization, the pH-responsive disassembly of DSPM triggers the release of their payloads, wherein radiosensitizer sensitizes cancer cells to X-ray and Mn2+ promote STING pathway activation. This radiosensitizer-based DSPM remarkably benefits dendritic cell maturation, anticancer therapeutics in primary tumors, accompanied by robust systemic immune therapeutic performance against metastatic tumors. Therefore, a powerful radiosensitization with STING pathway activation mediated immunostimulation strategy is highlighted here to optimize cancer radiotherapy.

Abstract
Upconversion nanocrystals that converted near-infrared radiation into emission in the ultraviolet spectral region offer many exciting opportunities for drug release, photocatalysis, photodynamic therapy, and solid-state lasing. However, a key challenge is the development of lanthanide-doped nanocrystals with efficient ultraviolet emission, due to low conversion efficiency. Here, we develop a dye-sensitized, heterogeneous core–multishelled lanthanide nanoparticle for ultraviolet upconversion enhancement. We systematically study the main influencing factors on ultraviolet upconversion emission, including dye concentration, excitation wavelength, and dye-sensitizer distance. Interestingly, our experimental results demonstrate a largely promoted multiphoton upconversion. The underlying mechanism and detailed energy transfer pathway are illustrated. These findings offer insights into future developments of highly ultraviolet-emissive nanohybrids and provide more opportunities for applications in photo-catalysis, biomedicine, and environmental science.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
The development in the area of novel anticancer prodrugs (conjugates and complexes) has attracted growing attention from many research groups. The dangerous side effects of currently used anticancer drugs, including cisplatin and other platinum based drugs, as well their systemic toxicity is a driving force for intensive search and presents a safer way in delivery platform of active molecules. Silicon based nanocarriers play an important role in achieving the goal of synthesis of the more effective prodrugs. It is worth to underline that silicon based platform including silica and silsesquioxane nanocarriers offers higher stability, biocompatibility of such the materials and pro-longed release of active platinum drugs. Silicon nanomaterials themselves are well-known for improving drug delivery, being themselves non-toxic, and versatile, and tailored surface chemistry. This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art within constructs of silicon-containing nano-carriers conjugated and complexed with platinum based drugs. Contrary to a number of other reviews, it stresses the role of nano-chemistry as a primary tool in the development of novel prodrugs.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanomaterials technology create the new possibility to fabricate high performance sensors. However, there has been limitations in terms of multivariate measurable and interoperable sensors. In this study, we fabricated an interoperable silver nanoparticle sensor fabricated by an aerodynamically focused nanomaterial (AFN) printing system which is a direct printing technique for inorganic nanomaterials onto a flexible substrate. The printed sensor exhibited the maximum measurable frequency of 850 Hz, and a gauge factor of 290.62. Using a fabricated sensor, we evaluated the sensing performance and demonstrated the measurement independency of strain and vibration sensing. Furthermore, using the proposed signal separation algorithm based on the Kalman filter, strain and vibration were each measured in real time. Finally, we applied the printed sensor to quadrotor condition monitoring to predict the motion of a quadrotor.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been extensively investigated due to their unique capabilities of upconverting near-infrared light (NIR) to visible/ultraviolet emission. However, use of conventional Yb-based UCNPs under 980 nm excitation for biomedical applications is limited due to the overheating caused by the strong light absorption by water at this wavelength. Although this could be improved by using Nd3+-Yb3+ codoped UCNPs and changing the excitation wavelength to 808 nm, the amount of Nd3+ doping is usually below 20 mol% due to the lattice strain in highly Nd-doped core-shell structures. In this study, we report Nd3+-sensitized NaYF4:Yb,Er@NaLuF4:Nd@NaLuF4 UCNPs, in which the NaLuF4 in the intermediate shell can accommodate more structural changes caused by the Nd3+ doping, and allow for high concentration of Nd3+ doping (up to 50 mol%). Due to such high Nd3+ doping in the nanostructure, the red and green upconversion emissions of as-synthesized UCNPs are significantly increased upon 808 nm excitation, which are used to activate two photosensitizer drugs, MC540 (merocyanine 540) and FePc (iron phthalocyanine), for the dual photodynamic and photothermal therapy. The results show that the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon 808 nm light excitation is substantially boosted due to the synergistic therapeutic effect, which significantly prohibits the growth of cancer cells. It is believed that the nanoplatform specially developed in this study can solve the overheating issue associated with the 980 nm light excitation and the combined photodynamic and photothermal therapy can significantly improve the cancer therapy efficacy.

Abstract
The shortened Abstract is as follows: Therapeutic gas nitric oxide (NO) has demonstrated the unique advances in biomedical applications due to its prominent role in regulating physiological/pathophysiological activities in terms of vasodilation, angiogenesis, chemosensitizing effect, and bactericidal effect. However, it is challenging to deliver NO, due to its short half-life (<5 s) and short diffusion distances (20-160 µm). To address these, various polymeric NO delivery nanoplatforms (PNODNPs) have been developed for cancer therapy, antimicrobial and cardiovascular therapeutics, because of the important advantages of polymeric delivery nanoplatforms in terms of controlled release of therapeutics and the extremely versatile nature. This reviews highlights the recent significant advances made in PNODNPs for NO storing and targeting delivery. The ideal and unique criteria that are required for PNODNPs for treating cancer, cardiovascular diseases and infection, respectively, are summarized. Hopefully, effective storage and targeted delivery of NO in a controlled manner using PNODNPs could pave the way for NO-sensitized synergistic therapy in clinical practice for treating the leading death-causing diseases.

Abstract
The complexity of hard-to-treat diseases strongly undermines the therapeutic potential of available treatment options. Therefore, a paradigm shift from monotherapy toward combination therapy has been observed in clinical research to improve the efficiency of available treatment options. The advantages of combination therapy include the possibility of synchronous alteration of different biological pathways, reducing the required effective therapeutic dose, reducing drug resistance, and lowering the overall costs of treatment. The tunable physical properties, excellent biocompatibility, facile preparation, and ease of administration with minimal invasiveness of injectable hydrogels (IHs) have made them excellent candidates to solve the clinical and pharmacological limitations of present systems for multitherapy by direct delivery of therapeutic payloads and improving therapeutic responses through the formation of depots containing drugs, genes, cells, or a combination of them in the body after a single injection. In this review, currently available methods for the design and fabrication of IHs are systematically discussed in the first section. Next, as a step toward establishing IHs for future multimodal synergistic therapies, recent advances in cancer combination therapy, wound healing, and tissue engineering are addressed in detail in the following sections. Finally, opportunities and challenges associated with IHs for multitherapy are listed and further discussed.

Abstract
Recently, multimodal imaging nanoprobes based on the complementary advantages of various imaging methods have attracted considerable attention due to their potential application in the biomedical field. As important bioimaging nanoprobes, lanthanide-doped nanocrystals (NCs) would be expected to improve the related biophotonic technology through integrated multimodal bioimaging. Herein, water-soluble and biocompatible NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs were prepared by a solvothermal method combined with hydrophobic interaction with phospholipids as a capping agent. The NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs exhibit excellent colloidal stability under physiological conditions. Compared with the bare NaYF4:Nd3+ NCs, the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence intensities of Nd3+ ions in the NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 core-shell NCs at the emissions of 1058 nm and 1332 nm are enhanced by 3.46- and 1.75-fold, respectively. Moreover, the r 2 value of NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs as T 2-weighted contrast agents is calculated to be 44.0 mM-1 s-1. As a novel multimodal imaging nanoprobe, the NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs can be employed for both NIR-II fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The phospholipid-modified NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs demonstrate in vitro and in vivo multimodal NIR-II fluorescence imaging and MRI of HeLa cells and tumors, respectively. This study provides an effective strategy for the development of novel multimodal probes for the medical application of nanomaterials.

Abstract
The efficiency of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is severely constrained due to the innate hypoxic environment, besides the elevated level of glutathione (GSH). To get rid of the hypoxic environment and higher concentrations of GSH in the solid tumors, we propose an approach of oxygen self-sufficient multimodal imaging-guided nanocomposite CaO2-MnO2-UCNPs-Ce6/DOX (abbreviated as CaMn-NUC), in which CaO2 nanoparticles in the hydrophobic layer were seated on the hydrophilic MnO2 sheet and conjugated with chlorin e6 (Ce6) loaded upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs-Ce6) via the click chemistry approach. CaMn-NUC was presented to overcome hypoxia and GSH-associated photodynamic resistance due to in situ oxygen generation and GSH reduction of MnO2 upon endocytosis, and a bulk amount of Mn2+ ions generated in the process under acidic tumor environment acts as the MRI contrast agent. Moreover, the MnO2 sheet protects Ce6 from self-degradation under irradiation; thus, it can be used to switch control of cellular imaging. Afterwards, in a regulated and targeted manner, the chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubicin hydrochloride, DOX) can be released with the degradation of CaMn-NUC in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME). Thus, we testify a competent nanoplatform employing 808 nm-excited UCNPs-Ce6 for concurrent imaging and PDT in consideration of the large anti-Stokes shifts, deep penetration into biological tissues, narrow emission bands, and high spatial-temporal resolution of the UCNPs. Thus, our proposed nanoplatform postulates a strategy to efficiently kill cancer cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner via the in situ oxygenation of solid tumor hypoxia to enhance the efficiency of multimodal imaging-guided chemo-photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-CNQDs) have shown great potential in imaging, drug delivery and photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, relevant research on g-CNQDs for PDT or drug delivery has been conducted separately. Herein, we develop a g-CNQDs-based nanoplatform (g-CPFD) to achieve simultaneously imaging and chemo-photodynamic combination therapy in one system. A g-CNQDs-based nanocarrier (g-CPF) is first prepared by successively introducing carboxyamino-terminated oligomeric polyethylene glycol and folic acid onto the surface of g-CNQDs via two-step amidation. The resultant g-CPF possesses good physiological stability, strong blue fluorescence, desirable biocompatibility, and visible light-stimulated reactive oxygen species generating ability. Further non-covalently loaded doxorubicin enables the system with chemotherapy function. Compared with free doxorubicin, g-CPFD expresses more efficient chemotherapy to HeLa cells due to improved folate receptor-mediated cellular uptake and intracellular pH-triggered drug release. Furthermore, g-CPFD under visible light irradiation shows enhanced inhibition on the growth of cancer cells compared to sole chemotherapy or PDT. Thus, g-CPFD exhibits exceptional anti-tumor efficiency due to folate receptor-mediated targeting ability, intracellular pH-triggered drug release and a combined treatment effect arising from PDT and chemotherapy. Moreover, this nanoplatform benefits imaging-guided drug delivery because of inherent fluorescent properties of doxorubicin and g-CPF, hence achieving the goal of imaging-guided chemo-photodynamic combination treatments.

Abstract
The development of highly integrated multifunctional nanomaterials with a superadditive therapeutic effect and good safety is an urgent but challenging task in cancer therapy research. The present study aims to design a nanoplatform that offers the opportunity to enhance antitumor activity while minimizing side effects. Given the Au-mediated X-ray radiation enhancement and the ability of Fe-based nanomaterials to create reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage, we anticipated that bimetallic Fe3O4-Au heterodimer would bring strong radiosensitizing capacity. Fe3O4-Au heterodimer surface was covered with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to achieve good surface functionality, stability and prolonged blood circulation. Folic acid (FA) moieties were added to the nanoformulation to increase tumor-homing, specificity and uptake. Finally, curcumin (CUR) was incorporated into the nanoparticle to function as a natural anticancer agent. The integration of all these components has yielded a single nanoplatform, Fe3O4-Au-BSA-FA-CUR, capable of successfully fulfilling the mission of superadditive cancer therapy to avoid the risks of organ removal surgery. The efficacy of the proposed nanoplatform was investigated in vitro and in vivo. High radiosensitizing ability, X-ray-induced ROS generation and DNA damage, and good biocompatibility were demonstrated through in vitro experiments. Also, the administration of Fe3O4-Au-BSA-FA-CUR with X-ray irradiation completely eradicated the tumor without any mortality and toxicity in healthy tissues in vivo. Our results highlight the potential of CUR-loaded Fe3O4-Au-BSA-FA heteronanostructure to enable synergistic localized radiochemotherapy and open up a new door to attractive possibilities that warrant further exploration.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Pt(II) photosensitizers are emerging as novel Pt anticancer agents for cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT) to avoid uncontrollable toxicity of cisplatin. However, the application of Pt(II) photosensitizers is limited by tumor hypoxia and the poor penetration depth of excitation light. To overcome these drawbacks, exploiting the next generation of Pt anticancer agents is of urgent need. According to theoretical calculations, novel near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing Pt(II)-chelated azadipyrromethene dyes (PtDP-X, where X = N, C, and S) were designed. Importantly, spin-orbit coupling of the Pt atom could promote the intersystem crossing of a singlet-to-triplet transition for converting oxygen to singlet oxygen (1O2), and the azadipyrromethene skeleton could provide a strong photothermal effect. As expected, PtDP-X exhibited intense NIR absorption and synergistic PDT and photothermal effects with low dark cytotoxicity. Furthermore, water-soluble and biocompatible PtDP-N nanoparticles (PtDP-N NPs) were prepared that achieved effective tumor cell elimination with low side effects under 730 nm light irradiation in vitro and in vivo. This pioneering work could push the exploitation of NIR-absorbing metal-chelated azadipyrromethene dyes, so as to promote the positive evolution of phototherapy agents.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a modality in cancer treatment because it is less invasive and highly selective compared with conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Nanoscale metal organic frameworks (nMOFs) have exhibited great potential for use in constructing nanoplatforms for improved PDT because of their unique structural advantages such as large surface areas, high porosities, tunable compositions and various other modifications. The large majority of current nMOF-based systems employ specific modifying groups to overcome the deficiencies previously observed when using older nMOFs in PDT. In this review, we summarize modifications to these systems such as enhancing singlet oxygen generation by introducing photoactive agents, alleviating tumor hypoxia and engineering active targeting abilities. The applications of MOF-based nanoparticles in synergistic cancer therapies that include PDT, as well as in theranostics are also discussed. Finally, we discuss some of the challenges faced in this field and the future prospects for the use of nMOFs in PDT.

Abstract
Volumetric displays that create bright image points within a transparent bulk are one of the most attractive technologies in everyday life. Lanthanide ion doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising luminescent nanomaterials for background free, full-colour volumetric displays of transparent bulk materials. However, video-rate display using UCNPs has been limited by their low emission intensity. Herein, we developed a video-rate upconversion display system with much enhanced brightness. The integral emission intensity of the single UCNPs was fully employed for video-rate display. It was maximized by optimizing the emitter concentration and, more importantly, by temporally synchronizing the scanning time of the excitation light to the the raised emission time of the single UCNPs. The excitation power dependent emission response and emission time decay curves were systematically characterized for the single UCNPs with various emitter concentrations from 0.5% to 6%. 1%Tm3+ doped UCNPs presented the highest integral emission intensity. By embedding this UCNPs into a polyvinyl acetate (PVA) film, we achieved a two-dimensional (2D) upconversion display with a frame rate of 29 Hz for 35 by 50 pixels. This work demonstrates that the temporal response as well as the integral emission intensity enable video-rate upconversion display.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is a new strategy for combating cancer that integrates cancer imaging and treatment through theranostic agents to provide an efficient and safe way to improve cancer prognosis. Design and synthesis of these cancer theranostic agents are crucial since these agents are required to be biocompatible, tumor-specific, imaging distinguishable and therapeutically efficacious. In this regard, several types of gadolinium (Gd)-based nanomaterials have been introduced to combine different therapeutic agents with Gd to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic agents. At the same time, the entire treatment procedure could be monitored via imaging tools due to incorporation of Gd ions, Gd chelates and Gd/other imaging probes in the theranostic agents. This review aims to overview recent advances in the Gd-based nanomaterials for cancer theranostics and perspectives for Gd nanomaterial-based cancer theranostics are provided.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanostructures have aroused great interest among analytical and biological medicine researchers as a unique type of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanomaterial. However, reliable approaches for synthesizing yolk-shell nanostructures (YSNs) with mesoporous MnO2 shell still remain exciting challenges. Herein, a YSN (size, ∼75 nm) containing a mesoporous MnO2 shell and Er3+-doped upconversion/downconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) core with a large cavity is demonstrated for the first time. This nanostructure not only integrates diverse functional components including MnO2, UCNPs, and YSNs into one system but also endows a size-controllable hollow cavity and thickness-tunable MnO2 layers, which can load various guest molecules like photosensitizers, methylene blue (MB), and the anticancer drugs doxorubicin (DOX). NIR-II fluorescence and photoacoustic (PA) imaging from UCNP and MB, respectively, can monitor the enrichment of the nanomaterials in the tumors for guiding chemo-photodynamic therapy (PDT) in vivo. In the TME, degradation of the mMnO2 shell by H2O2 and GSH not only generates Mn2+ for tumor-specific T1-MR imaging but also releases O2 and drugs for tumor-specific treatment. The result confirmed that imaging-guided enhanced chemo-PDT combination therapy that benefited from the unique structural features of YSNs could substantially improve the therapeutic effectiveness toward malignant tumors compared to monotherapy.

Abstract
Energy-converting biomaterials (ECBs)-mediated cancer-therapeutic modalities have been extensively explored, which have achieved remarkable benefits to overwhelm the obstacles of traditional cancer-treatment modalities. Energy-driven cancer-therapeutic modalities feature their distinctive merits, including noninvasiveness, low mammalian toxicity, adequate therapeutic outcome, and optimistical synergistic therapeutics. In this advanced review, the prevailing mainstream ECBs can be divided into two sections: Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-associated energy-converting biomaterials (ROS-ECBs) and hyperthermia-related energy-converting biomaterials (H-ECBs). On the one hand, ROS-ECBs can transfer exogenous or endogenous energy (such as light, radiation, ultrasound, or chemical) to generate and release highly toxic ROS for inducing tumor cell apoptosis/necrosis, including photo-driven ROS-ECBs for photodynamic therapy, radiation-driven ROS-ECBs for radiotherapy, ultrasound-driven ROS-ECBs for sonodynamic therapy, and chemical-driven ROS-ECBs for chemodynamic therapy. On the other hand, H-ECBs could translate the external energy (such as light and magnetic) into heat for killing tumor cells, including photo-converted H-ECBs for photothermal therapy and magnetic-converted H-ECBs for magnetic hyperthermia therapy. Additionally, the biosafety issues of ECBs are expounded preliminarily, guaranteeing the ever-stringent requirements of clinical translation. Finally, we discussed the prospects and facing challenges for constructing the new-generation ECBs for establishing intriguing energy-driven cancer-therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
Multi-modal nanomedicines that synergistically combine chemo-, gene-, and photothermal therapy have shown great potential for cancer treatment. In this study, a core-shell nanosystem-based on a zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocore and a polydopamine (PDA) shell was constructed to integrate chemo- (doxorubicin, DOX), gene- (DNAzyme, DZ), and photothermal (PDA layer) therapy in one system. Instead of small interfering RNAs, we employed DZ for tumor-related gene (survivin) regulation owing to its higher stability, biocompatibility, and predictable activity. DOX and amino-modified DZ were loaded onto the PDA shell via physisorption and covalent conjugation, respectively. Specifically, the ZnO nanocore was designed as a metal cofactor reservoir to release Zn2+ in response to intracellular stimuli, which triggered the activation of DZ for gene silencing after endocytosis into cells. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the enhanced anti-tumor efficacy of these multifunctional nanocomposites and highlighted the advantages of these nano-drug delivery systems to alleviate the side effects of DOX. This study provides a strategy for synergistic cancer therapy via chemo/gene/photothermal combination and offers a strategy to harness DZ as a gene-silencing tool for disease treatment in combination with other therapeutic modalities. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this work, we constructed a core-shell nanosystem containing a zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocore and a polydopamine (PDA) outer layer, which integrated chemo- (doxorubicin, DOX), gene- (DNAzyme, DZ), and photothermal (PDA layer) therapies for multimodal cancer therapy. Specifically, the ZnO core was incorporated to solve the key issue of DZ for gene silencing applications, which acted as the metal cofactor reservoir to release Zn2+ inside cells for effective DZ activation. In addition, the PDA shell could detoxify the ZnO by scavenging the reactive oxygen species produced by ZnO, thus increasing the biocompatibility of the nanocarrier. This work solves the key issue of DZ for RNAi-based applications, offers a platform to combine DZ with other therapeutic modalities, and also provides a smart strategy to achieve triggered activation of biocatalytic reactions for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Trivalent lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped hollow upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) usually exhibit unique optical performance that cannot be realized in their solid counterparts, and thus have been receiving tremendous interest from their fundamentals to diverse applications. However, all currently available Ln3+-doped UCNCs are solid in appearance, the preparation of hollow UCNCs remains nearly untouched hitherto. Herein, a class of UCNCs based on Yb3+/Er3+-doped tetralithium zirconium octafluoride (Li4ZrF8:Yb/Er) featuring 2D layered crystal lattice is reported, which makes the fabrication of hollow UCNCs with a peasecod-like shape possible after Ln3+ doping. By employing the first-principle calculations, the unique peasecod-like hollow nanoarchitecture primarily associated with the hetero-valence Yb3+/Er3+ doping into the 2D layered crystal lattice of Li4ZrF8 matrix is revealed. Benefiting from this hollow nanoarchitecture, the resulting Li4ZrF8:Yb/Er UCNCs exhibit an abnormal green upconversion luminescence in terms of the population ratio between two thermally coupled states (2H11/2 and 4S3/2) of Er3+ relative to their solid Li2ZrF6:Yb/Er counterparts, thereby allowing to prepare the first family of hollow Ln3+-doped UCNCs as supersensitive luminescent nanothermometer with almost the widest temperature sensing range (123-800 K). These findings described here unambiguously pave a new way to fabricate hollow Ln3+-doped UCNCs for numerous applications.

Abstract
Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is responsible for pumping chemotherapeutic drugs out of tumor cells, has been recognized as an important cause of drug resistance in conventional chemotherapy. Herein, porous platinum nanoparticles (pPt NPs) are developed to enable the combined electrodynamic therapy (EDT) with chemotherapy. With polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating, the obtained pPt-PEG NPs could be loaded with anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) by utilizing the porous structure of pPt NPs. Those pPt-PEG NPs are able to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) by triggering water decomposition under electric field, independent of O2 and H2O2 contents in the tumor. Furthermore, the ROS generated during EDT could induce the inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), in turn enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents by facilitating intracellular accumulation of drugs. As the results, excellent synergetic therapeutic effects were observed by combining chemotherapy with EDT using DOX-loaded pPt (DOX@pPt-PEG) NPs, as demonstrated by both in vitro and in vivo experiments. This study demonstrates a new concept of combinational cancer therapy with superior therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Subcellular localization of nanoparticles plays critical roles in precision medicine that can facilitate an in-depth understanding of disease etiology and achieve accurate theranostic regulation via responding to the aiding stimuli. The photothermal effect is an extensively employed strategy that converts light into heat stimulation to induce localized disease ablation. Despite diverse manipulations that have been investigated in photothermal nanotheranostics, influences of nanoheaters' subcellular distribution and their molecular mechanism on cellular heat response remain elusive. Herein, we disclose the biological basis of distinguishable thermal effects at subcellular resolution by localizing photothermal upconversion nanoparticles into specific locations of cell compartments. Upon 808 nm light excitation, the lysosomal cellular uptake initialized by poly(ethylenimine)-modified nanoheaters promoted mitochondria apoptosis through the activation of Bid protein, whereas the cell surface nanoheaters anchored via metabolic glycol biosynthesis triggered necrosis by direct perturbation of the membrane structure. Intriguingly, these two different thermolyses revealed similar levels of heat shock protein expression in live cells. This study stipulates insights underlying the different subcellular positions of nanoparticles for the selective thermal response, which provides valuable perspectives on optimal precision nanomedicine.

Abstract
As the complications of atherosclerosis such as myocardial infarction and stroke are still one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, the development of new diagnostic tools for the early detection of plaque instability and thrombosis is urgently needed. Advanced molecular imaging probes based on functional nanomaterials in combination with cutting edge imaging techniques are now paving the way for novel and unique approaches to monitor the inflammatory progress in atherosclerosis. This review focuses on the development of various molecular probes for the diagnosis of plaques and thrombosis in atherosclerosis, along with perspectives of their diagnostic applications in cardiovascular diseases. Specifically, we summarize the biological targets that can be used for atherosclerosis and thrombosis imaging. Then we describe the emerging molecular imaging techniques based on the utilization of engineered nanoprobes together with their challenges in clinical translation.
