Abstract
Optoacoustic (OA) imaging offers powerful capabilities for interrogating biological tissues with rich optical absorption contrast while maintaining high spatial resolution for deep tissue observations. The spectrally distinct absorption of visible and near-infrared photons by endogenous tissue chromophores facilitates extraction of diverse anatomic, functional, molecular, and metabolic information from living tissues across various scales, from organelles and cells to whole organs and organisms. The primarily blood-related contrast and limited penetration depth of OA imaging have fostered the development of multimodal approaches to fully exploit the unique advantages and complementarity of the method. We review the recent hybridization efforts, including multimodal combinations of OA with ultrasound, fluorescence, optical coherence tomography, Raman scattering microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging as well as ionizing methods, such as X-ray computed tomography, single-photon-emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography. Considering that most molecules absorb light across a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum, the OA interrogations can be extended to a large number of exogenously administered small molecules, particulate agents, and genetically encoded labels. This unique property further makes contrast moieties used in other imaging modalities amenable for OA sensing.

[PMID: 38928316 PMCID: PMC11203733 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25126610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Skin is the largest organ in the human body and requires proper dressing to facilitate healing after an injury. Wounds on movable parts, such as the elbow, knee, wrist, and neck, usually undergo delayed and inefficient healing due to frequent movements. To better accommodate movable wounds, a variety of functional hydrogels have been successfully developed and used as flexible wound dressings. On the one hand, the mechanical properties, such as adhesion, stretchability, and self-healing, make these hydrogels suitable for mobile wounds and promote the healing process; on the other hand, the bioactivities, such as antibacterial and antioxidant performance, could further accelerate the wound healing process. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in hydrogel-based movable wound dressings and propose the challenges and perspectives of such dressings.

Abstract
Melanin, especially integumentary melanin, interacts in numerous ways with electromagnetic radiation, leading to a set of critical functions, including radiation protection, UV-protection, pigmentary and structural color productions, and thermoregulation. By harnessing these functions, melanin and melanin-like materials can be widely applied to diverse applications with extraordinary performance. Here we provide a unified overview of the melanin family (all melanin and melanin-like materials) and their interactions with the complete electromagnetic radiation spectrum (X-ray, Gamma-ray, UV, visible, near-infrared), which until now has been absent from the literature and is needed to establish a solid fundamental base to facilitate their future investigation and development. We begin by discussing the chemistries and morphologies of both natural and artificial melanin, then the fundamentals of melanin-radiation interactions, and finally the exciting new developments in high-performance melanin-based functional materials that exploit these interactions. This Review provides both a comprehensive overview and a discussion of future perspectives for each subfield of melanin that will help direct the future development of melanin from both fundamental and applied perspectives.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), a prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus, may result in an amputation. Natural and renewable hydrogels are desirable materials for DFU dressings due to their outstanding biosafety and degradability. However, most hydrogels are usually only used for wound repair and cannot be employed to monitor motion because of their inherent poor mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. Given that proper wound stretching is beneficial for wound healing, the development of natural hydrogel patches integrated with wound repair properties and motion monitoring was expected to achieve efficient and accurate wound healing. Here, we designed a dual-network (chitosan and sodium alginate) hydrogel embedded with lignin-Ag and quercetin-melanin nanoparticles to achieve efficient wound healing and motion monitoring. The double network formed by the covalent bond and electrostatic interaction confers the hydrogel with superior mechanical properties. Instead of the usual chemical reagents, genipin extracted from Gardenia was used as a cross-linking agent for the hydrogel and consequently improved its biosafety. Furthermore, the incorporation of lignin-Ag nanoparticles greatly enhanced the mechanical strength, antibacterial efficacy, and conductivity of the hydrogel. The electrical conductivity of hydrogels gives them the capability of motion monitoring. The motion sensing mechanism is that stretching of the hydrogel induced by motion changes the conductivity of the hydrogel, thus converting the motion into an electrical signal. Meanwhile, quercetin-melanin nanoparticles confer exceptional adhesion, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties to the hydrogels. The system ultimately achieved excellent wound repair and motion monitoring performance and was expected to be used for stretch-assisted safe and accurate wound repair in the future.

Abstract
Developing synergistic targeted therapeutics to improve treatment efficacy while reducing side effects has proven promising for anticancer therapies, but how to conveniently modulate multidrug cooperation remains a challenge. Here, a novel synergistic strategy using a G-quadruplex-programmed versatile nanorobot (G4VN) containing two subunits of DNAzyme (DzG4) and ligand-drug conjugates (LDCs) is proposed to precisely target tumors and then execute both gene silencing and chemotherapy. As the core module of this nanorobot, a well-designed G4 responding to a high level of K+ in tumor microenvironment smartly kills three birds with one stone, which makes two TfR aptamers proximate to improve their efficiency of targeting tumor cells, and in situ activates a split 10-23 DNAzyme to downregulate target mRNA expression, meanwhile promotes the cell uptake of a GSH-responsive LDCs to enhance drug efficacy. Such a design enables a potently synergistic anticancer therapy with low side effects in vivo, showing great promise for broad applications in precision disease treatment.

Abstract
The development of biocompatible and efficient nanoplatforms that combine diagnostic and therapeutic functions is of great importance for precise disease treatment. Melanin, an endogenous biopolymer present in living organisms, has attracted increasing attention as a versatile bioinspired functional platform owing to its unique physicochemical properties (e.g., high biocompatibility, strong chelation of metal ions, broadband light absorption, high drug binding properties) and inherent antioxidant, photoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects. In this review, the fundamental physicochemical properties and preparation methods of natural melanin and melanin-like nanoparticles were outlined. A systematical description of the recent progress of melanin and melanin-like nanoparticles in single, dual-, and tri-multimodal imaging-guided the visual administration and treatment of osteoarthritis, acute liver injury, acute kidney injury, acute lung injury, brain injury, periodontitis, iron overload, etc. Was then given. Finally, it concluded with a reasoned discussion of current challenges toward clinical translation and future striving directions. Therefore, this comprehensive review provides insight into the current status of melanin and melanin-like nanoparticles research and is expected to optimize the design of novel melanin-based therapeutic platforms and further clinical translation.

Abstract
Coevolution of tumor cells and surrounding stroma results in protective protumoral environment, in which abundant vessel, stiff structure and immunosuppression promote each other, cooperatively incurring deterioration and treatment compromise. Reversing suchenvironment may transform tumors from treatment-resistant to treatment-vulnerable. However, effective reversion requires synergistic comprehensive regression of such environment under precise control. Here, the first attempt to collaboratively retrograde coevolutionary tumor environment to pre-oncogenesis status, defined as tumor environment regression therapy, is made for vigorous immune response eruption by a switchable prune-to-essence nanoplatform (Pres) with simplified composition and fabrication process. Through magnetic targeting and multimodal imaging of Pres, tumor environment regression therapy is guided, optimized and accomplished in a trinity way: Antiangiogenesis is executed to rarefy vessels to impede tumor progression. By seizing the time, cancer associated fibroblasts are eliminated to diminish collagen and loosen the stiff structure for deep penetration of Pres, which alternately functioned in deeper tumors, forming a positive feedback loop. Through this loop, immune cell infiltration, immunosuppression mitigation and immunogenic cells death induction are all fulfilled and further escalated in the regressed environment. These transformations consequently unleashed systemic immune responses and generated immune memory against carcinoma. This study provides new insights intotreatment of solid tumors.

Novel Dual-Mode NIR-II/MRI Nanoprobe Targeting PD-L1 Accurately Evaluates the Efficacy of Immunotherapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. Int J Nanomedicine 2023; 18:5141-5157. [PMID: 37705867 PMCID: PMC10497065 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s417944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Durable responses to immune-checkpoint blocking therapy (ICT) targeting programmed cell death protein-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) have improved outcomes for patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Unfortunately, only 19-23% of patients benefit from ICT. Hence, non-invasive strategies evaluating responses to therapy and selecting patients who will benefit from ICT are critical issues for TNBC immunotherapy. Methods We developed a novel nanoparticle-Atezolizumab (NPs-Ate) consisting of indocyanine green (ICG), gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA), human serum albumin (HSA), and Atezolizumab. The efficiency of Gd-DTPA linking was verified using mass spectrometry, and the size of NPs-Ate was characterized using Nano-flow cytometry. The synthesized NPs-Ate were evaluated for fluorescence stability, penetration depth, and target specificity. TNBC cell lines and tumor-bearing mice models were used to identify the feasibility of this dual-modal second near-infrared/magnetic resonance imaging (NIR-II/MRI) system. Additionally, ICT combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy in TNBC tumor-bearing mice models were used to assess dynamic changes of PD-L1 and predicted therapeutic responses with NPs-Ate. Results Atezolizumab, a monoclonal antibody, was successfully labeled with ICG and Gd-DTPA to generate NPs-Ate. This demonstrated strong fluorescence signals in our NIR-II imaging system, and relaxivity (γ1) of 9.77 mM-1 s-1. In tumor-bearing mice, the NIR-II imaging signal background ratio (SBR) reached its peak of 11.51 at 36 hours, while the MRI imaging SBR reached its highest as 1.95 after 12 hours of tracer injection. NPs-Ate specifically targets cells and tumors expressing PD-L1, enabling monitoring of PD-L1 status during immunotherapy. Combining therapies led to inhibited tumor growth, prolonged survival, and increased PD-L1 expression, effectively monitored using the non-invasive NPs-Ate imaging system. Conclusion The NIR-II/MRI NPs-Ate effectively reflected PD-L1 status during immunotherapy. Real-time and non-invasive immunotherapy and response/prognosis monitoring under NIR-II/MRI imaging guidance in TNBC is a promising and innovative technology with potential for extensive clinical applications in the future.

Abstract
Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is the predominant treatment approach for initial breast cancer. However, due to a lack of effective methods evaluating BCS margins, local recurrence caused by positive margins remains an issue. Accordingly, radiation therapy (RT) is a common modality in patients with advanced breast cancer. However, while RT also protects normal tissue and enhances tumor bed doses to improve therapeutic effects, current radiosensitizers cannot meet these urgent clinical needs. To address this, a novel self-assembled multifunctional nanoprobe (NP) gadolinium (Gd)-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-human serum albumin (HSA)@indocyanine green-Bevacizumab (NPs-Bev) is synthesized to improve the efficacy of fluorescence-image-guided BCS and RT. Fluorescence image guidance of the second near infrared NP improves complete resection in tumor-bearing mice and accurately discriminates between benign and malignant mammary tissue in transgenic mice. Moreover, targeting tumors with NPs induces more reactive oxygen species under X-ray radiation therapy, which not only increases RT sensitivity, but also reduces tumor progression in mice. Interestingly, self-assembled NPs-Bev using HSA, the magnetic resonance contrast agent and Bevacizumab-targeting vascular growth factor A, which are clinically safe reagents, are safe in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, the novel self-assembled NPs provide a solid precision therapy platform to treat breast cancer.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their unique advantages in minimal invasiveness and spatiotemporal selectivity. However, the fabrication procedures of PTT agents frequently require complex chemical and/or physical methods that involves harsh and environmentally hazardous conditions. Here, a genetically engineered bacterium is developed to synthesize melanin nanoparticles under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. The biosynthetic melanin nanoparticles exhibit excellent biocompatibility, good stability, and negligible toxicity. In addition, the biosynthetic melanin nanoparticles have strong absorption at near-infrared (NIR) region and higher photothermal conversion efficiency (48.9%) than chemically synthesized melanin-like polydopamine nanoparticles under an 808 nm laser irradiation. Moreover, the results show that the biosynthetic melanin nanoparticles have excellent photoacoustic imaging (PAI) performance and can be used for PAI guided PTT in vivo. In conclusion, the study provides an alternative approach to synthesize PTT agents with broad application potential in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment modality for various cancer types. However, tumor recurrence and metastasis stemming from residual cancer cells after PDT pose serious problems. In this study, a simple multifunctional PTX@Ce6 nanomedicine is prepared using a two-step reprecipitation method. In this core-shell nanostructure, the toxic paclitaxel (PTX) core is embedded into a nontoxic Ce6 shell. An ultralow dose of PTX (1 mg/kg) stimulates the differentiation of marrow-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) into mature dendritic cells (DCs), resulting in the restoration of functions of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells and promotion of antitumor immune responses in vivo. Hence, the tumors in mice are eradicated with 100% tumor inhibition rate via combination therapy. Tumor recurrence and metastasis are also effectively inhibited. In addition, the combination therapy with PDT and metronomic chemotherapy based on core-shell PTX@Ce6 nanostructures shows high biosafety in treated mice. This study can aid in developing new cancer treatment modalities for eradicating tumors, preventing tumor recurrence and metastasis, and reducing the systemic side effects of therapy.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been utilized extensively in the field of cutaneous wound treatment. The introduction of nanomaterials (NMs), which are a big category of materials with diverse functionalities, can endow the hydrogels with additional and multiple functions to meet the demand for a comprehensive performance in wound dressings. Therefore, NMs-functionalized hydrogels (NMFHs) as wound dressings have drawn intensive attention recently. Herein, an overview of reports about NMFHs for the treatment of cutaneous wounds in the past five years is provided. Firstly, fabrication strategies, which are mainly divided into physical embedding and chemical synthesis of the NMFHs, are summarized and illustrated. Then, functions of the NMFHs brought by the NMs are reviewed, including hemostasis, antimicrobial activity, conductivity, regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and stimulus responsiveness (pH responsiveness, photo-responsiveness, and magnetic responsiveness). Finally, current challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed with the hope of inspiring additional ideas.

Abstract
Anticancer therapies and regenerative medicine are being developed to destroy tumor cells, as well as remodel, replace, and support injured organs and tissues. Nowadays, a suitable three-dimensional structure of the scaffold and the type of cells used are crucial for creating bio-inspired organs and tissues. The materials used in medicine are made of non-degradable and degradable biomaterials and can serve as drug carriers. Developing flexible and properly targeted drug carrier systems is crucial for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and novel cancer treatment strategies. This review is focused on presenting innovative biomaterials, i.e., electrospun nanofibers, 3D-printed scaffolds, and hydrogels as a novel approach for anticancer treatments which are still under development and awaiting thorough optimization.

Abstract
The terrible morbidity and mortality of malignant tumors urgently require innovative therapeutics, especially for apoptosis-resistant tumors. Pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death (PCD), is featured with pore formation in plasma membrane, cell swelling with giant bubbles, and leakage of cytoplasmic pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can remodel the tumor immune microenvironment by stimulating a "cold" tumor microenvironment to be an immunogenic "hot" tumor microenvironment, and consequently augment the therapeutic efficiency of malignant tumors. Benefiting from current advances in nanotechnology, nanomedicine is extensively applied to potentiate, enable, and augment pyroptosis for enhancing cancer-therapeutic efficacy and specificity. This review provides a concentrated summary and discussion of the most recent progress achieved in this emerging field, highlighting the nanomedicine-enabled/augmented specific pyroptosis strategy for favoring the construction of next-generation nanomedicines to efficiently induce PCD. It is highly expected that the further clinical translation of nanomedicine can be accelerated by inducing pyroptotic cell death based on bioactive nanomedicines.

Abstract
Metals are indispensable for the activities of all living things, from single-celled organisms to higher organisms, including humans. Beyond their intrinsic quality as metal ions, metals help creatures to maintain requisite biological processes by forming coordination complexes with endogenous ligands that are broadly distributed in nature. These types of naturally occurring chelating reactions are found through the kingdoms of life, including bacteria, plants and animals. Mimicking these naturally occurring coordination complexes with intrinsic biocompatibility may offer an opportunity to develop nanomedicine toward clinical applications. Herein, we introduce representative examples of naturally occurring coordination complexes in a selection of model organisms and highlight such bio-inspired metal-chelating nanomaterials for theranostic applications.

Abstract
Nanohybrids have gained immense popularity for the diagnosis and chemotherapy of lung cancer for their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and targeting ability. However, most of them suffer from limited imaging information, low tumor-to-background ratios, and multidrug resistance, limiting their potential clinical application. Herein, we engineered a photoresponsive nanohybrid by assembling polypyrrole@bovine serum albumin (PPy@BSA) encapsulating perfluoropentane (PFP)/129Xe for selective magnetic resonance (MR)/ultrasonic (US)/photoacoustic (PA) trimodal imaging and photothermal therapy of lung cancer, overcoming these drawbacks of single imaging modality and chemotherapy. The nanohybrid exhibited superior US, PA, and MR multimodal imaging performance for lung cancer detection. The high sensitivity of the nanohybrid to near-infrared light (NIR) resulted in a rapid increase in temperature in a low-intensity laser state, which initiated the phase transition of liquid PFP into the gas. The ultrasound signal inside the tumor, which is almost zero initially, is dramatically increased. Beyond this, it led to the complete depression of 19F/129Xe Hyper-CEST (chemical exchange saturation transfer) MRI during laser irradiation, which can precisely locate lung cancer. In vitro and in vivo results of the nanohybrid exhibited a successful therapeutic effect on lung cancer. Under the guidance of imaging results, a sound effect of photothermal therapy (PTT) for lung cancer was achieved. We expect this nanohybrid and photosensitive behavior will be helpful as fundamental tools to decipher lung cancer in an earlier stage through trimodality imaging methods.

Surface-Functionalized NdVO 4:Gd 3+ Nanoplates as Active Agents for Near-Infrared-Light-Triggered and Multimodal-Imaging-Guided Photothermal Therapy. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14061217.

Abstract
Development of nanotheranostic agents with near-infrared (NIR) absorption offers an effective tool for fighting malignant diseases. Lanthanide ion neodymium (Nd3+)-based nanomaterials, due to the maximum absorption at around 800 nm and unique optical properties, have caught great attention as potential agents for simultaneous cancer diagnosis and therapy. Herein, we employed an active nanoplatform based on gadolinium-ion-doped NdVO4 nanoplates (NdVO4:Gd3+ NPs) for multiple-imaging-assisted photothermal therapy. These NPs exhibited enhanced NIR absorption and excellent biocompatibility after being grafted with polydopamine (pDA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) layers on their surface. Upon expose to an 808 nm laser, these resulting NPs were able to trigger hyperthermia rapidly and cause photo-destruction of cancer cells. In a xenograft tumor model, tumor growth was also significantly inhibited by these photothermal agents under NIR laser irradiation. Owing to the multicomponent nanostructures, we demonstrated these nanoagents as being novel contrast agents for in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, X-ray computed tomography (CT), photoacoustic (PA) imaging, and second biological window fluorescent imaging of tumor models. Thus, we believe that this new kind of nanotherapeutic will benefit the development of emerging nanosystems for biological imaging and cancer therapy.

Heptamethine Cyanine-Loaded Nanomaterials for Cancer Immuno-Photothermal/Photodynamic Therapy: A Review. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14051015.

Abstract
The development of strategies capable of eliminating metastasized cancer cells and preventing tumor recurrence is an exciting and extremely important area of research. In this regard, therapeutic approaches that explore the synergies between nanomaterial-mediated phototherapies and immunostimulants/immune checkpoint inhibitors have been yielding remarkable results in pre-clinical cancer models. These nanomaterials can accumulate in tumors and trigger, after irradiation of the primary tumor with near infrared light, a localized temperature increase and/or reactive oxygen species. These effects caused damage in cancer cells at the primary site and can also (i) relieve tumor hypoxia, (ii) release tumor-associated antigens and danger-associated molecular patterns, and (iii) induced a pro-inflammatory response. Such events will then synergize with the activity of immunostimulants and immune checkpoint inhibitors, paving the way for strong T cell responses against metastasized cancer cells and the creation of immune memory. Among the different nanomaterials aimed for cancer immuno-phototherapy, those incorporating near infrared-absorbing heptamethine cyanines (Indocyanine Green, IR775, IR780, IR797, IR820) have been showing promising results due to their multifunctionality, safety, and straightforward formulation. In this review, combined approaches based on phototherapies mediated by heptamethine cyanine-loaded nanomaterials and immunostimulants/immune checkpoint inhibitor actions are analyzed, focusing on their ability to modulate the action of the different immune system cells, eliminate metastasized cancer cells, and prevent tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine is expected to make major advances in cancer diagnosis and therapy; tumor-targeted radiopharmaceuticals preferentially eradicate tumors while causing minimal damage to healthy tissues. The current scope of nuclear medicine can be significantly expanded by integration with nanomedicine, which utilizes nanoparticles for cancer diagnosis and therapy by capitalizing on the increased surface area-to-volume ratio, the passive/active targeting ability and high loading capacity, the greater interaction cross section with biological tissues, the rich surface properties of nanomaterials, the facile decoration of nanomaterials with a plethora of functionalities, and the potential for multiplexing several functionalities within one construct. This review provides a comprehensive discussion of nuclear nanomedicine using tumor-targeted nanoparticles for cancer radiation therapy with either pre-embedded radionuclides or nonradioactive materials which can be extrinsically triggered using various external nuclear particle sources to produce in situ radioactivity. In addition, it describes the prospect of combining nuclear nanomedicine with other modalities to enable synergistically enhanced combination therapies. The review also discusses advances in the fabrication of radionuclides as well as describes laser ablation technologies for producing nanoradiopharmaceuticals, which combine the ease of production with exceptional purity and rapid biodegradability, along with additional imaging or therapeutic functionalities. From a practical standpoint, these attributes of nanoradiopharmaceuticals may provide distinct advantages in diagnostic/therapeutic sensitivity and specificity, imaging resolution, and scalability of turnkey platforms. Coupling image-guided targeted radiation therapy with the possibility of in situ activation of nanomaterials as well as combining with other therapeutic modalities using a multifunctional nanoplatform could herald an era of exciting technological and therapeutic advances to radically transform the landscape of nuclear medicine. The review concludes with a discussion of current challenges and presents the authors' views on future opportunities to stimulate further research in this rewarding field of high societal impact.

Abstract
Advanced treatments based on immune system manipulation, gene transcription and regulation, specific organ and cell targeting, and/or photon energy conversion have emerged as promising therapeutic strategies against a range of challenging diseases. Naturally derived macromolecules (e.g., proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and polyphenols) have increasingly found use as fundamental building blocks for nanostructured particles as their advantageous properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, inherent bioactivity, and diverse chemical properties make them suitable for advanced therapeutic applications. This review provides a timely and comprehensive summary of the use of a broad range of natural building blocks in the rapidly developing field of advanced therapeutics with insights specific to nanostructured particles. We focus on an up-to-date overview of the assembly of nanostructured particles using natural building blocks and summarize their key scientific and preclinical milestones for advanced therapies, including adoptive cell therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, active targeted drug delivery, photoacoustic therapy and imaging, photothermal therapy, and combinational therapy. A cross-comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different natural building blocks are highlighted to elucidate the key design principles for such bio-derived nanoparticles toward improving their performance and adoption. Current challenges and future research directions are also discussed, which will accelerate our understanding of designing, engineering, and applying nanostructured particles for advanced therapies.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) hold promise for biomedical imaging and new approaches facilitating their aggregation state are desirable for fluorescence enhancement. Herein, a series of surfactant-stripped AIEgen micelles (SSAMs) with improved fluorescence are developed by a low-temperature surfactant-stripping method to encapsulate AIEgens in temperature-sensitive Pluronic block copolymer. After stripping excessive surfactant, SSAMs exhibit altered optical properties and significantly higher fluorescence quantum yield. Using this method, a library of highly concentrated fluorescent nanoparticles are generated with tunable absorption and emission wavelengths, permitting imaging of deep tissues at different wavelengths. SSAMs remain physiologically stable and can pass safely through gastrointestinal tract (GI) without degradation in the harsh conditions, allowing for fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging of intestine with high resolution. d-amino acids (DAA), a natural metabolite for bacteria, can be chemically conjugated on the surface of SSAMs, enabling non-invasive monitoring of the microbial behavior of ex vivo fluorescently labeled gut microbiota in the GI tract.

Abstract
Over thousands of years, natural bioactive compounds derived from plants (bioactive phytocompounds, BPCs) have been used worldwide to address human health issues. Today, they are a significant resource for drug discovery in the development of modern medicines. Although many BPCs have promising biological activities, most of them cannot be effectively utilized in drugs for therapeutic applications because of their inherent limitations of low solubility, structural instability, short half-life, poor bioavailability, and non-specific distribution to organs. Researchers have utilized emerging nanoformulation (NF) technologies to overcome these limitations as they have demonstrated great potential to improve the solubility, stability, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of BPCs. This review exemplifies NF strategies for resolving the issues associated with BPCs and summarizes recent advances in their preclinical and clinical applications for imaging and therapy. This review also highlights how innovative NF technologies play a leading role in next-generation BPC-based drug development for extended therapeutic applications. Finally, this review discusses the opportunities to take BPCs with meaningful clinical impact from bench to bedside and extend the patent life of BPC-based medicines with new formulations or application to new adjacent diseases beyond the primary drug indications. Natural bioactive phytocompounds derived from plants have been used worldwide to address human health issues. However, most of them cannot be effectively utilized in drugs for therapeutic applications because of their inherent limitations. Nanoformulation approach has recently been underlined as an emerging pharmaceutical strategy to overcome the intrinsic drawbacks of bioactive phytocompounds. Various types of nanoformulation and their up-to-date applications for targeted delivery, phototherapy, and imaging are reviewed. Finally, their clinical implications for the repurposing of bioactive phytocompounds are deliberated.

Abstract
Multimodal synergistic therapy has gained increasing attention in cancer treatment to overcome the limitations of monotherapy and achieve high anticancer efficacy. In this study, a synergistic phototherapy and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy nanoplatform based on natural melanin nanoparticles (MPs) loaded with the bioreduction prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) and decorated with hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed. A self-reporting aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active photosensitizer (PS) (BATTMN) was linked to the prepared nanoparticles by boronate ester bonds. The MPs and BATTMN-HA played roles as quenchers for PS and cancer targeting/photodynamic moieties, respectively. As a pH sensitive bond, the borate ester bonds between HA and BATTMN are hydrolysed in the acidic cancer environment, thereby separating BATTMN from the nanoparticles and leading to the induction of fluorescence for imaging-guided synergistic phototherapy/hypoxia-activated chemotherapy under dual irradiation. TPZ can be released upon activation by pH, near-infrared (NIR) and hyaluronidase (Hyal). Particularly, the hypoxia-dependent cytotoxicity of TPZ was amplified by oxygen consumption in the tumor intracellular environment induced by the AIE-active PS in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The nanoparticles developed in our research showed favorable photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 37%), desired cytocompatibility, and excellent synergistic therapeutic efficacy. The proposed nanoplatform not only extends the application scope of melanin materials with AIE-active PSs, but also offers useful insights into developing multistimulus as well as multimodal synergistic tumor treatment.

Abstract
Recent efforts have demonstrated that the morphology of ceramics can be manipulated to control both their deformation mechanism and mechanical performance. However, precise control of the ceramic nanostructure is still difficult to achieve. Biotemplating, leading to biomorphic materials, provides a facile route to manipulate the nanostructure of the resulting materials, and the use of melanin as a coating provides a new route to biotemplated materials. Melanin is underutilized for structural materials partly due to the cost of procuring it from natural sources and the inability to control the shape and sizes of melanin particles. Taking a combined synthetic biology and chemical synthesis approach, we report the melanization of Escherichia coli and its subsequent silanization and functionalization with preceramic polymers to make novel biomorphic silicon-based ceramic materials. Graft-to and graft-from reactions were used to append preceramic polymers to the melanin, followed by pyrolysis under argon. Samples were analyzed by FTIR, XRD, XPS, and TEM and found to retain the shape and size of the original cells with high fidelity. The homogeneity of coverage and yield of the resulting ceramic materials depended on the type of grafting reaction. This work provides a promising proof-of-concept that bacterial-templated ceramics can be readily made and opens a host of possibilities for further studies and applications.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanotheranostics have been widely explored for precision medicine. Here, we developed a pH/light dual-stimuli-responsive nanotheranostic agent for biological/physical dual-targeting photothermal-enhanced chemotherapy of U87MG tumor. This nanotheranostic agent was composed of the RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptide, melanin-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MMNs), doxorubicin (DOX), and indocyanine green (ICG), denoted as RMDI. The tumor accumulation of RMDI was simultaneously improved through biological active targeting by RGD and physical magnetic targeting by an external magnetic field at tumor tissues, which was proven by in vivo photoacoustic/magnetic resonance/fluorescence (PA/MR/FL) trimodal imaging. Under dual stimuli of the tumor acidic microenvironment and laser irradiation, both DOX and ICG were released in a controlled fashion, demonstrating impressive therapeutic outcomes against U87MG tumor both in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Owing to the synergistic photothermal/chemotherapy, the dual-stimuli-responsive and dual-targeting nanotheranostic agent completely ablated U87MG tumor in vivo without any tumor recurrence and biotoxicity.

A Highly Specific Multiple Enhancement Theranostic Nanoprobe for PET/MRI/PAI Image-Guided Radioisotope Combined Photothermal Therapy in Prostate Cancer. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2021; 17:e2100378.

Abstract
An integrated molecular probe for combined tumor-targeted multimodal imaging and therapy in the era of precision medicine requires a multiplexed platform that simultaneously has high targeting specificity, versatile conjugation capability, and biocompatibility. Here, a novel biocompatible melanin nanoprobe (PMNs-II-813) coupled with a highly specific prostate-specific membrane antigen small molecule inhibitor is developed for the targeted multimodal diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. The melanin nanoparticles demonstrate photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) functionalities via strong near-infrared absorption. The imaging contrast agents 89 Zr and Mn2+ are stably conjugated to the nanoparticles for positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fusion PET/MRI with PMNs-II-813 enables the monitoring of treatment effects in real time and lasts for more than 1 week, demonstrating the capability for multimodal theranostics in prostate cancer. Labeling with a therapeutic radionuclide, 131 I, simultaneously endows the nanoprobe with the capability for radioisotope therapy (RIT) and PTT under triple-modal imaging guidance. Combined PTT and RIT has an inhibitory effect on prostate cancer growth (tumor inhibition rate of ≈93% 20 days after treatment), which is significantly better than that with the single treatment. Overall, it is believed that PMNs-II-813 has potential for clinical translation to treat prostate cancer.

Abstract
Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) refer to the integration of two or more chemically discrepant composites into one structure system. Studies into JNPs have been of significant interest due to their interesting characteristics stemming from their asymmetric structures, which can integrate different functional properties and perform more synergetic functions simultaneously. Herein, we present recent progress of Janus particles, comprehensively detailing fabrication strategies and applications. First, the classification of JNPs is divided into three blocks, consisting of polymeric composites, inorganic composites, and hybrid polymeric/inorganic JNPs composites. Then, the fabrication strategies are alternately summarized, examining self-assembly strategy, phase separation strategy, seed-mediated polymerization, microfluidic preparation strategy, nucleation growth methods, and masking methods. Finally, various intriguing applications of JNPs are presented, including solid surfactants agents, micro/nanomotors, and biomedical applications such as biosensing, controlled drug delivery, bioimaging, cancer therapy, and combined theranostics. Furthermore, challenges and future works in this field are provided.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers exhibit properties that make them ideal candidates for biosensing and molecular diagnostics. Through rational design of polymer composition combined with new polymer functionalization and synthetic strategies, polymers with myriad responsivities, e.g., responses to temperature, pH, biomolecules, CO2, light, and electricity can be achieved. When these polymers are specifically designed to respond to biomarkers, stimuli-responsive devices/probes, capable of recognizing and transducing analyte signals, can be used to diagnose and treat disease. In this review, we highlight recent state-of-the-art examples of stimuli-responsive polymer-based systems for biosensing and bioimaging.

Abstract
The size and structural control of particulate carriers for imaging agents and therapeutics are constant themes in designing smart delivery systems. This is motivated by the causal relationship between geometric parameters and functionalities of delivery vehicles. Here, both in vitro and in vivo, the controlling factors for cytotoxicity, photothermal, and anti-tumor effects of biodegradable magnesium@poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid (Mg@PLGA) particulate carriers with different sizes and shell thicknesses are investigated. Mg@PLGA microspheres fabricated by microfluidic emulsification are shown to have higher Mg encapsulation efficiency, 87%, than nanospheres by ultrasonic homogenization, 50%. The photothermal and anti-tumor effects of Mg@PLGA spheres are found to be dictated by their Mg content, irrelevant to size and structural features, as demonstrated in both in vitro cell assays and in vivo mice models. These results also provide important implications for designing and fabricating stimuli-responsive drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Melanin is a dark brown to black biomacromolecule with biologically active multifunctional properties that do not have a precise chemical structure, but its structure mainly depends on the polymerization conditions during the synthesis process. Natural melanin can be isolated from various animal, plant, and microbial sources, while synthetic melanin-like compounds can be synthesized by simple polymerization of dopamine. Melanin is widely used in various areas due to its functional properties such as photosensitivity, light barrier property, free radical scavenging ability, antioxidant activity, etc. It also has an excellent ability to act as a reducing agent and capping agent to synthesize various metal nanoparticles. Melanin nanoparticles (MNP) or melanin-like nanoparticles (MLNP) have the unique potential to act as functional materials to improve nanocomposite films' physical and functional properties. Various food packaging and biomedical applications have been made alone or by mixing melanin or MLNP. In this review, the general aspects of melanin that highlight biological activity, along with a description of MNP and the use as nanofillers in packaging films as well as reducing and capping agents and biomedical applications, were comprehensively reviewed.

Abstract
With the changing face of healthcare, there is a demand for drug delivery systems that have increased efficacy and biocompatibility. Nanotechnology derived drug carrier systems were found to be ideal candidates to meet these demands. Among the vast number of nanosized delivery systems, biomimetic nanoparticles have been researched at length. These nanoparticles mimic cellular functions and are highly biocompatible. They are also able to avoid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system which increases the time spent by them in the systemic circulation. Additionally, their low immunogenicity and targeting ability increase their significance as drug carriers. Based on their core material we have summarized them as biomimetic inorganic nanoparticles, biomimetic polymeric nanoparticles, and biomimetic lipid nanoparticles. The core then may be coated using membranes derived from erythrocytes, cancer cells, leukocytes, stem cells, and other membranes to endow them with biomimetic properties. They can be used for personalized therapy and diagnosis of a large number of diseases, primarily cancer. This review summarizes the various therapeutic approaches using biomimetic nanoparticles along with their applications in the field of cancer imaging, nucleic acid therapy and theranostic properties. A brief overview about toxicity concerns related to these nanoconstructs has been added to provide knowledge about biocompatibility of such nanoparticles.

Abstract
Nanotheranostic agents (NTAs) that integrate diagnostic capabilities and therapeutic functions have great potential for personalized medicine, yet poor tumor specificity severely restricts further clinical applications of NTAs. Here, a pro-NTA (precursor of nanotheranostic agent) activation strategy is reported for in situ NTA synthesis at tumor tissues to enhance the specificity of tumor therapy. This pro-NTA, also called PBAM, is composed of an MIL-100 (Fe)-coated Prussian blue (PB) analogue (K2 Mn[Fe(CN)6 ]) with negligible absorption in the near-infrared region and spatial confinement of Mn2+ ions. In a mildly acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), PBAM can be specifically activated to synthesize the photothermal agent PB nanoparticles, with release of free Mn2+ ions due to the internal fast ion exchange, resulting in the "ON" state of both T1 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging and photoacoustic signals. In addition, the combined Mn2+ -mediated chemodynamic therapy in the TME and PB-mediated photothermal therapy guarantee a more efficient therapeutic performance compared to monotherapy. In vivo data further show that the pro-NTA activation strategy could selectively brighten solid tumors and detect invisible lymph node metastases with high specificity.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted considerable attention recently, but the poor reaction kinetics restrict its practical utility in clinic. Herein, glucose oxidase (GOx) functionalized ancient pigment nanosheets (SrCuSi4 O10 , SC) for programmable near-infrared II (NIR-II) photothermal-enhanced starvation primed CDT is developed. The SC nanosheets (SC NSs) are readily exfoliated from SC bulk suspension in water and subsequently functionalized with GOx to form the nanocatalyst (denoted as SC@G NSs). Upon laser irradiation, the photothermal effect of SC NSs can enhance the catalytic activity of GOx for NIR-II photothermal-enhanced starvation therapy, which effectively eliminates intratumoral glucose and produces abundant hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). Importantly, the high photothermal-conversion efficiency (46.3%) of SC@G NSs in second biological window permits photothermal therapy of deep-seated tumors under the guidance of NIR-II photoacoustic imaging. Moreover, the acidity amplification due to gluconic acid generation will in turn accelerate the degradation of SC NSs, facilitating the release of strontium (Sr) and copper (Cu) ions. Both the elevated H2 O2 and the released ions will prime the Cu2+ /Sr2+ -H2 O2 reaction for enhanced CDT. Thus, a programmable NIR-II photothermal-enhanced starvation primed CDT is established to combat cancer with minimal side effects.

Abstract
Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC), in which chronic inflammation is a well-recognized carcinogen, requires concurrent anti-inflammation and antitumor treatments in the clinic. Herein, we report polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated (PEGylated) ultrasmall rhodium nanodots (Rh-PEG NDs) can serve as a metallic nanozyme with reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging properties as well as photothermal activities for anti-inflammation and antitumor theranostics in colon diseases. Benefiting from multienzyme activities against RONS, Rh-PEG NDs can decrease the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6), resulting in good anti-inflammatory effect on dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. By virtue of high photothermal conversion efficiency (48.9%), Rh-PEG NDs demonstrate complete ablation of CT-26 colon tumor without any recurrence. Most importantly, Rh-PEG NDs exhibit good biocompatibility both at the cellular and animal levels. Our findings provide a paradigm to utilize metallic nanozymes for the potential management of colon diseases.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is a major type of artificial melanin material with many interesting properties such as antioxidant activity, free-radical scavenging, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and strong metal-ion chelation. The high affinity of PDA to a wide range of metals/metal ions has offered a new class of functional metal-containing polydopamine (MPDA) nanomaterials with promising functions and extensive applications. Understanding and controlling the metal coordination environment is vital to achieve desirable functions for which such materials can be exploited. MPDA nanomaterials with metal/metal ions as the active functions are reviewed, including their synthesis and metal coordination environment and their applications in catalysis, batteries, solar cells, capacitors, medical imaging, cancer therapy, antifouling, and antibacterial coating. The current trends, limitations, and future directions of this area are also explored.

Abstract
Multimodal cancer synergistic therapy exhibited remarkable advantages over monotherapy in producing an improved therapeutic efficacy. In this work, Janus-type γ-Fe2O3/SiO2 nanoparticles (JFSNs) are conjugated with glucose oxidase (GOx) for synergistic cancer starvation/chemodynamic therapy. The γ-Fe2O3 hemisphere of JFSNs can perform photoacoustic/T2 magnetic resonance dual-modal imaging of tumors. GOx on the surface of JFSNs catalyzes the decomposition of glucose and produces H2O2 for cancer starvation therapy. Subsequently, the γ-Fe2O3 hemisphere catalyzes the disproportionation of H2O2 to generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals in an acidic tumor microenvironment. The close distance between GOx and JFSNs ensures adequate contact between the γ-Fe2O3 hemisphere and its substrate H2O2, thus enhancing the catalytic efficiency. This synergy of glucose depletion, biotoxic H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals significantly suppresses 4T1 mammary tumor growth with minimal adverse effects.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review article, we discuss the potential for employing nanotechnological strategies for the diagnosis, monitoring, and clinical management of osteoarthritis (OA) and explore how nanotechnology is being integrated rapidly into regenerative medicine for OA and related osteoarticular disorders. RECENT FINDINGS We review recent advances in this rapidly emerging field and discuss future opportunities for innovations in enhanced diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of OA and other osteoarticular disorders, the smart delivery of drugs and biological agents, and the development of biomimetic regenerative platforms to support cell and gene therapies for arresting OA and promoting cartilage and bone repair. Nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles, and other nanotechnology-based drug and gene delivery systems may be used for targeting molecular pathways and pathogenic mechanisms involved in OA development. Nanocomposites are also being explored as potential tools for promoting cartilage repair. Nanotechnology platforms may be combined with cell, gene, and biological therapies for the development of a new generation of future OA therapeutics. Graphical Abstract.
