Bioelectrochemistry 2024; 159:108729. [PMID: 38772096 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
This study explores the principles of resonance energy transfer and adsorption modulation using composites of Cu2S-MPA/NGODs. These composites can efficiently control the quenching process of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was added during the synthesis of Cu2S-MPA to enhance its attachment to nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGODs). The UV absorption peaks of NGODs coincided with the emission peaks of luminol ECL, enabling resonance energy transfer and enhancing the quenching capability of Cu2S-MPA. Meanwhile, there is another quenching strategy. When the readily reducible Cu+ ions underwent partial reduction to Cu when they were bound to NGODs. This weakened the electrocatalytic effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and had a detrimental impact on electron transfer. Under optimal conditions, the immunosensor ECL intensity decreased linearly with the logarithm of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentration in the range of 0.00001-40 ng/mL, with a detection limit of 0.269 fg/mL. The sensor was effectively utilized for the identification of CEA in actual serum samples.

Abstract
Hollow CuS nanoparticles can achieve photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in tumor treatment. However, excessive GSH in the tumor cells will consume the reactive oxygen species produced by PDT and reduce the PDT effect. Cisplatin is a broad-spectrum antineoplastic drug that can be used in a variety of tumor treatments. However, cisplatin is cytotoxic to normal cells while it kills tumor cells. Therefore, we construct Pt(IV) complexes loaded hollow CuS nanoparticles to attenuate the toxicity of cisplatin and enhance the PDT effect of the hollow CuS nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were proved to be able to accumulate around the tumor site through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect to achieve a synergistic chemo/photothermal/photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Antibiotics are frequently used to clinically treat osteomyelitis caused by bacterial infections. However, extended antibiotic use may result in drug resistance, which can be life threatening. Here, a heterojunction comprising Fe2O3/Fe3S4 magnetic composite is constructed to achieve short-term and efficient treat osteomyelitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The Fe2O3/Fe3S4 composite exhibits powerful microwave (MW) absorption properties, thereby effectively converting incident electromagnetic energy into thermal energy. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that Fe2O3/Fe3S4 possesses significant charge accumulation and oxygen-fixing capacity at the heterogeneous interface, which provides more active sites and oxygen sources for trapping electromagnetic hotspots. The finite element analysis indicates that Fe2O3/Fe3S4 displays a larger electromagnetism field enhancement parameter than Fe2O3 owing to a significant increase in electromagnetic hotspots. These hotspots contribute to charge differential accumulation and depletion motions at the interface, thereby augmenting the release of free electrons that subsequently combine with the oxygen adsorbed by Fe2O3/Fe3S4 to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and heat. This research, which achieves extraordinary bacterial eradication through the synergistic effect of microwave thermal therapy (MWTT) and microwave dynamic therapy (MDT), presents a novel strategy for treating deep-tissue bacterial infections.

Abstract
Synthetic micro/nanomotors have been extensively exploited over the past decade to achieve active transportation. This interest is a result of their broad range of potential applications, from environmental remediation to nanomedicine. Nevertheless, it still remains a challenge to build a fast-moving biodegradable polymeric nanomotor. Here we present a light-propelled nanomotor by introducing gold nanoparticles (Au NP) onto biodegradable bowl-shaped polymersomes (stomatocytes) via electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions. These biodegradable nanomotors show controllable motion and remarkable velocities of up to 125 μm s-1. This unique behavior is explained via a thorough three-dimensional characterization of the nanomotor, particularly the size and the spatial distribution of Au NP, with cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). Our in-depth quantitative 3D analysis reveals that the motile features of these nanomotors are caused by the nonuniform distribution of Au NPs on the outer surface of the stomatocyte along the z-axial direction. Their excellent motile features are exploited for active cargo delivery into living cells. This study provides a new approach to develop robust, biodegradable soft nanomotors with application potential in biomedicine.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive and uncommon subtype of breast cancer with a poor prognosis. It is crucial to prioritise the creation of a nanotherapeutic method that is highly selective and actively targeting TNBC. This study explores a new nanosystem, Cu9S8-SNAP@PM (C-S@P), composed of Cu9S8-SNAP coated with a platelet membrane (PM). The purpose of this nanosystem is to cure TNBC using multimodal therapy. The utilisation of PM-coated nanoparticles (NPs) enables active targeting, leading to the efficient accumulation of C-S@P within the tumour. The Cu9S8 component within these NPs serves the potential to exert photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Simultaneously, the S-Nitroso-N-Acetylvanicillamine (SNAP) component enables nitric oxide (NO) gas therapy (GT). Furthermore, when exposed to NIR-II laser light, Cu9S8 not only increases the temperature of the tumour area for PTT, but also boosts CDT and stimulates the release of NO through thermal reactions to improve the effectiveness of GT. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental results validate that C-S@P exhibits minimal side effects and represents a multifunctional nano-drug targeted at tumors for efficient treatment. This approach promises significant potential for TNBC therapy and broader applications in oncology.

Abstract
Specific activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid member 1 (TRPV1) channels provides a new avenue for cancer treatment by inducing excessive Ca2+ influx. However, controllable manipulation of TRPV1 signaling for clinical application has remained elusive due to the challenge in finding a mild and effective method of exerting external stimulus without adverse side effects in living systems. Herein, a TRPV1-targeting near-infrared (NIR) triggered nitric oxide (NO)-releasing nanoplatform (HCuS@PDA-TRPV1/BNN6) based on polydopamine (PDA) coated hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (HCuS NPs) is developed for specific cancer therapy. Upon NIR irradiation, the NO donor BNN6 encapsulated in NIR-responsive nanovehicles can locally generate NO to activate TRPV1 channels and induce Ca2+ influx. This NIR controlled mode enables the nanoplatform to exert its therapeutic effects below the apoptotic threshold temperature (43°C), minimizing the photothermal damage to normal tissue. Integrating this special NO-mediated therapy with HCuS NPs mediated chemodynamic therapy, the designed nanoplatform exhibits a boosted anticancer activity with negligible systematic toxicity. Together, this study provides a promising strategy for site-specific cancer therapy by spatiotemporally controlled activation of surface ion channels, thus offering a solution to an unmet clinical need in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) has emerged as potent therapeutic agents for biofilm-associated bacterial infections. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), involving the generation of high-energy ROS, displays great potential in the therapy of bacterial infections. However, challenges such as insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and over-expressed glutathione (GSH) levels within the microenvironment of bacterial biofilms severely limit the antibacterial efficacy of CDT. Herein, we have developed a multifunctional nanoplatform (CuS@CaO2@Dex) by integrating copper sulfide (CuS) and calcium peroxide (CaO2) into dextran (Dex)-coated nanoparticles. This innovative platform enhanced ROS generation for highly efficient biofilm elimination by simultaneously supplying H2O2 and depleting GSH. The Dex-coating facilitated the penetrability of CuS@CaO2@Dex into biofilms, while CaO2 generated a substantial amount of H2O2 in the acidic biofilm microenvironment. CuS, through a Fenton-like reaction, catalyzed the conversion of self-supplied H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and consumed the overexpressed GSH. Additionally, the incorporation of near-infrared II (NIR II) laser irradiation enhanced the photothermal properties of CuS, improving the catalytic efficiency of the Fenton-like reaction for enhanced antibacterial effects. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that CuS@CaO2@Dex exhibited remarkable antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy, exceptional wound healing capabilities, and notable biosafety. In summary, the Dex-coated nanoplatform proposed in this study, with its self-sterilization capability through ROS, holds significant potential for future biomedical applications.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133513. [PMID: 38262319 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
Personal protective masks play critical role in preventing the disease epidemic and resisting pathogenic bacterial infestation. However, large quantities of masks were disposed during COVID-19 epidemic, which caused environmental problem and huge economic burden. Herein, we developed reusable masks with inherent antimicrobial and self-cleaning features under solar irradiation. With spun-bonded nonwoven fabrics (SNF) layer as substrate, copper sulfide@polydopamine nanoparticles are deposited on SNF layer (CuS@PDANPs-SNF), which presents excellent photocatalytic activity. Under solar irradiation, CuS@PDANPs produce abundant of singly linear oxygen (1O2), which inactivates pathogenic bacteria with high efficiency over 99%. Interestingly, CuS@PDANPs-SNF cannot cause high temperature to bring any uncomfortable to the person, which is suitable for human to wear in daily life. Such design effectively protect person from the transmission of viral aerosol. Meanwhile, CuS@PDANPs-SNF masks are reusable and still maintain robust bactericidal ability after washing. The sunlight-mediated self-sterilization at low temperature endows CuS@PDANPs-SNF masks as powerful personal protective equipment for daily protection, which also provides an instructive way for reducing the environmental impact.

Abstract
Conventional cancer mono-therapeutic approaches including radiotherapy, surgery, and chemotherapy don't always achieve satisfactory outcomes and are frequently associated with significant limitations. Although chemotherapy is a vital intervention, its effectiveness is frequently inadequate and is associated with metastasis, multidrug resistance, off-target effect, and normal cells toxicity. Phototherapies are employed in cancer therapy, encompassing photo-dynamic and photo-thermal therapies which under favorable NIR laser light irradiation initiate the included photosensitizers and photo-thermal agents to generate ROS or thermal heat respectively for cancer cells destruction. Photo-therapy is considered noninvasive, posing no resistance, but it still suffers from several pitfalls like low penetration depth and excessive heat generation affecting neighboring tissues. Improved selectivity and tumor-homing capacity could be attained through surface modulation of nanoparticles with targeting ligands that bind to receptors, which are exclusively overexpressed on cancerous cells. Developing novel modified targeted nanoparticulate platforms integrating different therapeutic modalities like photo-therapy and chemotherapy is a topic of active research. This review aimed to highlight recent advances in proteins, nucleic acids, and biological cell membranes functionalized nanocarriers for smart combinatorial chemotherapy/photo-therapy. Nanocarriers decorated with precise targeting ligands, like aptamers, antibody, and lactoferrin, to achieve active tumor-targeting or camouflaging using various biological cell membrane coating are designed to achieve homologous tumor-targeting.

Abstract
Recently nanoparticle-based platforms have gained interest as drug delivery systems and diagnostic agents, especially in cancer therapy. With their ability to provide preferential accumulation at target sites, nanocarrier-constructed antitumor drugs can improve therapeutic efficiency and bioavailability. In contrast, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received increasing academic interest as an outstanding class of coordination polymers that combine porous structures with high drug loading via temperature modulation and ligand interactions, overcoming the drawbacks of conventional drug carriers. FeIII-based MOFs are one of many with high biocompatibility and good drug loading capacity, as well as unique Fenton reactivity and superparamagnetism, making them highly promising in chemodynamic and photothermal therapy, and magnetic resonance imaging. Given this, this article summarizes the applications of FeIII-based MOFs in three significant fields: chemodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy and MRI, suggesting a logical route to new strategies. This article concludes by summarising the primary challenges and development prospects in these promising research areas.

Abstract
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) significantly impacts the prognosis of cancer patients. Despite significant advancements in diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities, clinical challenges continue to persist in the realm of LNM. These include difficulties in early diagnosis, limited treatment efficacy, and potential side effects and injuries associated with treatment. Nanotheranostics, a field within nanotechnology, seamlessly integrates diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities. Its primary goal is to provide precise and effective disease diagnosis and treatment simultaneously. The development of nanotheranostics for LNM offers a promising solution for the stratified management of patients with LNM and promotes the advancement of personalized medicine. This review introduces the mechanisms of LNM and challenges in its diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, it demonstrates the advantages and development potential of nanotheranostics, focuses on the challenges nanotheranostics face in its application, and provides an outlook on future trends. We consider nanotheranostics a promising strategy to improve clinical effectiveness and efficiency as well as the prognosis of cancer patients with LNM.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a critical factor in wound healing. Due to the abuse of antibiotics, some pathogenic bacteria have developed resistance. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a non-antibiotic-dependent multifunctional wound dressing for the treatment of bacteria-infected wounds. In this work, a multifunctional AOCuT hydrogel embedded with CuS@TA-Fe nanoparticles (NPs) through Schiff base reaction between gelatin quaternary ammonium salt - gallic acid (O-Gel-Ga) and sodium dialdehyde alginate (ADA) along with electrostatic interactions with CuS@TA-Fe NPs is prepared. These composite hydrogels possess favorable injectability, rapid shape adaptation, electrical conductivity, photothermal antimicrobial activity, and biocompatibility. Additionally, the doped NPs not only impart fast self-healing properties and excellent adhesion performance to the hydrogels, but also provide excellent peroxide-like properties, enabling them to scavenge free radicals and exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities via photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) effects. In an S. aureus infected wound model, the composite hydrogel effectively reduces the expression level of wound inflammatory factors and accelerates collagen deposition, epithelial tissue, and vascular regeneration, thereby promoting wound healing. This safe and synergistic therapeutic system holds great promise for clinical applications in the treatment of infectious wounds.

Abstract
Developing bone implants with dynamic self-adjustment of antibacterial, angiogenic, and osteogenic functions in line with a bone regenerative cascade is highly required in orthopedics. Herein, a unique core-shell nanorods array featuring a thin layer of NiS coated on each SrTiO3 nanorod (NiS@SrTiO3) was in situ constructed on titanium (Ti) through a two-step hydrothermal treatment. Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the photoresponsive effect of NiS layer in synergy with the physical perforation of SrTiO3 nanorods initially enabled in vitro antibacterial rates of 96.5% to Escherichia coli and 93.1% to Staphylococcus aureus. With the degradation of the NiS layer, trace amounts of Ni ions were released, which accelerated angiogenesis by upregulating the expression of vascular regeneration-related factors, while the gradual exposure of SrTiO3 nanorods could simultaneously enhance the surface hydrophilicity in favor of cell adhesion and slowly release Sr ions to promote the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. The in vivo assessment verified not only the satisfactory antibacterial effect but also the superior osteogenic ability of the NiS@SrTiO3/Ti group with the aid of NIR irradiation, finally promoting the osseointegration of the Ti implant. The modification method endowing Ti implant with antibacterial, angiogenic, and osteogenic functions provides a new strategy to improve the long-term reliability of Ti-based devices.

Abstract
Synergistic therapy combining photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy is considered to be a promising approach to treat cancer, but the precise temperature control of deep tissue remains a great challenge in achieving effective treatment. Herein, a two-dimensional Bi2WO6:Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+@MoS2 nanoplatform with photothermal and photodynamic functions was constructed, where semiconductor MoS2 serves as both a photothermal agent and a photosensitizer. The photothermal conversion performance and the reactive oxygen species generation capacity of the nanoplatform were validated under the irradiation of 808 nm laser; meanwhile, the two sets of luminescence intensity ratios (IYb3+/INd3+ and IEr3+/INd3+) in the biological window region were selected as near-infrared temperature probes to monitor the heat generated during the photosynergistic process in real time. The feasibility of nanoplatform as an intratissue temperature probe and antibacterial agent was further assessed by vitro experiments, which provides an idea for designing multifunctional photosynergistic therapy nanoplatform.

Prediction of prognosis, immune infiltration, and personalized treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma by analysis of cuproptosis-related long noncoding RNAs and verification in vitro. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1159126. [PMID: 37746284 PMCID: PMC10514553 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1159126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The correlations between cuproptosis and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with the tumor microenvironment (TME), immunotherapy, and some other characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Methods Sixteen cuproptosis regulators and 356 cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (CRLnc) were identified from 374 HCC profiles in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Six differentially expressed CRLnc were selected, and a prognostic risk model based on the CRLnc signature (CRLncSig) was constructed. The prognostic power of the model was verified. Moreover, a cuproptosis-related gene cluster (CRGC) was generated based on six lncRNAs and differentially expressed genes. The relationship between immune cell infiltration in the TME, immunotherapy, CRLncSig, and CRGC was demonstrated through various algorithms, Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE), tumor mutational burden (TMB), etc. Potential drugs and sensitivity to those agents were evaluated for the risk model. LncRNA AL158166.1 was selected and verified in HCC tissues and cell lines, the impact of its knockdown and overexpression in HCC cells was examined, and the copper (Cu) concentration and the cuproptosis-related gene expression were detected. Results A CRLncSig prognostic risk model with good predictive ability was constructed. The low-risk group had a longer overall survival (OS), lower tumor purity, more extensive immune cell infiltration, higher immune score, enrichment in immune-activated pathways, and more positive response to immunotherapy versus the high-risk group. CRGC-B exhibited the best OS and the lowest tumor stage; the immune cell infiltration analysis was similar to the low-risk group in CRLncSig. CRGC-B belonged to the "immune-high" group of the TME. The low-risk group had a higher TIDE score and susceptibility to antitumor drugs. The lncRNA AL158166.1 had the highest hazard ratio. The levels of AL158166.1 were higher in HCC tissues versus healthy tissues. Knockdown of AL158166.1 could lead to an increase in intracellular Cu concentration, induce DLAT low expression, and inhibit the proliferation and migration of HCC cells, whereas overexpression of AL158166.1 exerted the reverse effect. Conclusion Overall, a new CRLncSig prognostic risk model and a cuproptosis-related molecular signature were constructed and evaluated. The model and signature were associated with the prognosis, immune infiltration, and immunotherapy of HCC. Inhibiting the lncRNA AL158166.1 may induce cuproptosis and showed potential for the inhibition of tumors. Evaluation of the CRLnc, CRLncSig, and CRGC may enhance our understanding of the TME, determine the effectiveness of immunotherapy, and act as a marker for the prognosis of HCC.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the important half-reactions in energy conversion equipment such as water-spitting devices, rechargeable metal-air batteries, and so on. It is beneficial to develop efficient and low-cost catalysts that understand the reaction mechanism of OER and analyze the reconstruction phenomenon of transition metal sulfide. Interestingly, copper sulfide and cuprous sulfide with the same components possess different reconstruction behaviors due to their different metal ion valence states and different atomic arrangement modes. Because of a unique atomic arrangement sequence and certain cationic defects, the reconstruction phenomenon of CuS nanomaterials are that S2- is firstly oxidized to SO4 2- and then Cux + is converted into CuO via Cu(OH)2 . In addition, the specific "modified hourglass structure" of CuS with excellent conductivity is easier to produce intermediates. Compared with Cu2 S, CuS exhibits excellent OER activity with a lower overpotential of 192 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and remarkable electrochemical stability in 1.0 m KOH for 120 h. Herein, this study elucidates the reconstruction modes of CuS and Cu2 S in the OER process and reveals that CuS has a stronger CuS bond and a faster electronic transmission efficiency due to "modified hourglass structure," resulting in faster reconstruction of CuS than Cu2 S.

Biomed Eng Online 2023; 22:77. [PMID: 37528482 PMCID: PMC10394893 DOI: 10.1186/s12938-023-01131-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nano-photothermal therapy (NPTT) has gained wide attention in cancer treatment due to its high efficiency and selective treatment strategy. The biggest challenges in the clinical application are the lack of (i) a reliable platform for mapping the thermal dose and (ii) efficient photothermal agents (PTAs). This study developed a 3D treatment planning for NPTT to reduce the uncertainty of treatment procedures, based on our synthesized nanohybrid. METHODS This study aimed to develop a three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) model for in vivo NPTT in mice using magneto-plasmonic nanohybrids, which are complex assemblies of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and gold nanorods. The model was based on Pennes' bio-heat equation and utilized a geometrically correct mice whole-body. CT26 colon tumor-bearing BALB/c mice were injected with nanohybrids and imaged using MRI (3 Tesla) before and after injection. MR images were segmented, and STereoLithography (STL) files of mice bodies and nanohybrid distribution in the tumor were established to create a realistic geometry for the model. The accuracy of the temperature predictions was validated by using an infrared (IR) camera. RESULTS The photothermal conversion efficiency of the nanohybrids was experimentally determined to be approximately 30%. The intratumoral (IT) injection group showed the highest temperature increase, with a maximum of 17 °C observed at the hottest point on the surface of the tumor-bearing mice for 300 s of laser exposure at a power density of 1.4 W/cm2. Furthermore, the highest level of tissue damage, with a maximum value of Ω = 0.4, was observed in the IT injection group, as determined through a simulation study. CONCLUSIONS Our synthesized nanohybrid shows potential as an effective agent for MRI-guided NPTT. The developed model accurately predicted temperature distributions and tissue damage in the tumor. However, the current temperature validation method, which relies on limited 2D measurements, may be too lenient. Further refinement is necessary to improve validation. Nevertheless, the presented FEM model holds great promise for clinical NPTT treatment planning.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) are becoming promising therapeutic modalities against various tumors in recent years. However, the single therapeutic modality with SDT or PTT makes it difficult to achieve a satisfactory anti-tumor outcome due to their own inherent limitations, such as poor tissue penetration for the near-infrared (NIR) laser and the limited cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from conventional sonosensitizers irradiated by ultrasound (US). Here, we successfully biosynthesized melanin with a controllable particle size with genetically engineered bacteria harboring a heat-inducible gene circuit. The biosynthetic melanin with 8 nm size and chlorin e6 (Ce6) was further encapsulated into liposomes and obtained SDT/PTT dual-functional liposomes (designated as MC@Lip). The resulting MC@Lip had an approximately 100 nm particle size, with 74.71% ± 0.54% of encapsulation efficiency for melanin and 94.52% ± 0.78% for Ce6. MC@Lip exhibited efficient 1O2 production and photothermal conversion capability upon receiving irradiation by US and NIR laser, producing significantly enhanced anti-tumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Especially, US and NIR laser irradiation of tumors received with MC@Lip lead to complete tumor regression in all tested tumor-bearing mice, indicating the great advantage of the combined use of SDT and PTT. More importantly, MC@Lip possessed good photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescence dual-modal imaging performance, making it possible to treat tumors under imaging guidance. Our study provides a novel approach to synthesize a melanin nanoparticle with controllable size and develops a promising combined SDT/PTT strategy to treat tumors.

Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is the best diagnostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and plays an important role in the general surveillance of the population. Therefore, the establishment of an ultra-sensitive AFP assay is essential for the early screening and clinical diagnosis of HCC. In this work, we designed a signal-off biosensor for ultra-sensitive detection of AFP based on an electrochemiluminescent resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) strategy using luminol intercalated layered bimetallic hydroxide (Luminol-LDH) as an ECL donor and Pt nanoparticles-grown on copper sulfide nanospheres (CuS@Pt) as ECL acceptor. The (Au NPs/Luminol-LDH)n multilayer nanomembrane synthesized by our intercalation and layer-by-layer electrostatic assembly process not only effectively immobilizes luminol but also significantly enhances the ECL signal. The CuS@Pt composite has well visible light absorption ability and can burst the light emitted from luminol by ECL-RET. The biosensor showed good linearity in the range from 10-5 ng mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 and a minimum detection limit of 2.6 fg mL-1. Therefore, the biosensor provides a novel and efficient strategy for the detection of AFP, which is important for the early screening and clinical diagnosis of HCC.

Abstract
Ultrathin separators are indispensable to high-energy-density zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), but their easy failure caused by zinc dendrites poses a great challenge. Herein, 23 µm-thick functional ultrathin separators (FUSs), realizing superb electrochemical stability of zinc anodes and outstanding long-term durability of ultrathin separators, are reported. In the FUSs, an ultrathin but mechanically strong nanoporous membrane substrate benefits fast and flux-homogenized Zn2+ transport, while a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived C/Cu nanocomposite decoration layer provides rich low-barrier zinc nucleation sites, thereby synergistically stabilizing zinc anodes to inhibit zinc dendrites and dendrite-caused separator failure. Investigation of the zinc affinity of the MOF-derived C/Cu nanocomposites unravels the high zincophilicity of heteroatom-containing C/Cu interfaces. Zinc anodes coupled with the FUSs present superior electrochemical stability, whose operation lifetime exceeds 2000 h at 1 mA cm-2 and 600 h at 10 mA cm-2 , 40-50 times longer than that of the zinc anodes using glass-fiber separators. The reliability of the FUSs in ZIBs and zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors is also validated. This work proposes a new strategy to stabilize zinc anodes and provides theoretical guidance in developing ultrathin separators for high-energy-density zinc-based energy storage.

Abstract
Bismuth sulfide is widely used as an n-type semiconductor material in photocatalytic reactions. However, bismuth sulfide has poor absorption in the near-infrared region and low charge separation efficiency, limiting its application in phototherapy and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In this study, we successfully synthesized an "all-in-one" phototheranostic nanoplatform, namely Bi2S3-x-Au@HA, based on a single second near-infrared (NIR-II) light-responsive Schottky-type Bi2S3-x-Au heterostructure for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided SDT-enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT). Bi2S3-x-Au@HA exhibits excellent NIR-II plasmonic and photothermal properties, rendering it with NIR-II PA imaging capabilities for accurate diagnosis. Additionally, the high-density sulfur vacancies constructed on the Bi2S3 surface cause it to possess a reduced band gap (1.21 eV) that can act as an electron trap. Using the density functional theory, we confirmed that the light and ultrasound-induced electrons are more likely to aggregate on the Au nanoparticle surface through interfacial self-assembly, which promotes electron-hole separation and enhances photocatalytic activity with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. With a further modification of hyaluronic acid (HA), Bi2S3-x-Au@HA can selectively target cancer cells through HA and CD44 protein interactions. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that Bi2S3-x-Au@HA effectively suppressed tumor growth through SDT-enhanced PTT/PDT under a single NIR-II laser and ultrasound irradiation with negligible toxicity. Our findings provide a framework for fabricating Schottky-type heterostructures as single NIR-II light-responsive nanotheranostic agents for PA imaging-guided cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can cause cancer cell death through an immunogenic process. However, the study of second near-infrared window (NIR-II)-triggered PTT and PDT combined with CDT to induce an immune response has not been recently reported. Here, we integrated gold nanobipyramids and copper sulfide in a core/shell architecture (AuNBP@CuS). The material displays both photodynamic and photothermal properties under irradiation with a NIR-II laser. The released Cu2+ from CuS under an acidic tumor microenvironment can be converted to Cu+ by glutathione following a Fenton-like reaction with hydrogen peroxide to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals in the tumor region. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that such multifunctional nanoplatforms could achieve enhanced efficiency for image-guided tumor suppression based on the NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy. We found that damage-associated molecular pattern molecules such as adenosine triphosphate, pre-apoptotic calreticulin, and high mobility group box-1 in dying cells induced by the NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy could simultaneously trigger adaptive immune responses. This is the first report revealing that NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy based on AuNBP@CuS had promising performance on tumor suppressor with an effective immunogenic cell death process. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. AuNBP@CuS displays both NIR-II photodynamic and photothermal properties. 2. Cu+ following a Fenton-like reaction to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals. 3. The NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy can trigger adaptive immune responses. 4. Such multifunctional nanoplatforms could achieve enhanced efficiency for tumor suppression.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging has emerged as a promising tool for guided cancer diagnosis and synergistic therapies, such as combined chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (chemo-PTT). Yet, existing therapeutic agents often suffer from low SERS sensitivity, insufficient photothermal conversion, or/and limited drug loading capacity. Herein, a multifunctional theragnostic nanoplatform consisting of mesoporous silica-coated gold nanostar with a cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-coated gold nanocluster shell (named RGD-pAS@AuNC) is reported that exhibits multiple "hot spots" for pronouncedly enhanced SERS signals and improved near-infrared (NIR)-induced photothermal conversion efficiency (85.5%), with a large capacity for high doxorubicin (DOX) loading efficiency (34.1%, named RGD/DOX-pAS@AuNC) and effective NIR-triggered DOX release. This nanoplatform shows excellent performance in xenograft tumor model of HeLa cell targeting, negligible cytotoxicity, and good stability both in vitro and in vivo. By SERS imaging, the optimal temporal distribution of injected RGD/DOX-pAS@AuNCs at the tumor site is identified for NIR-triggered local chemo-PTT toward the tumor, achieving ultraeffective therapy in tumor cells and tumor-bearing mouse model with 5 min of NIR irradiation (0.5 W cm-2 ). This work offers a promising approach to employing SERS imaging for effective noninvasive tumor treatment by on-site triggered chemo-PTT.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most dangerous health problems in the millennium and it is the third foremost human cause of death in the universe. Traditional cancer treatments face several disadvantages and cannot often afford adequate outcomes. It has been exhibited that the outcome of several therapies can be improved when associated with nanostructures. In addition, a modern tendency is being developed in cancer therapy to convert single-modal into multi-modal therapies with the help of existing various nanostructures. Among them, gold is the most successful nanostructure for biomedical applications due to its flexibility in preparation, stabilization, surface modifications, less cytotoxicity, and ease of bio-detection. In the past few decades, gold-based nanomaterials rule cancer treatment applications, currently, gold nanostructures were the leading nanomaterials for synergetic cancer therapies. In this review article, the synthesis, stabilization, and optical properties of gold nanostructures have been discussed. Then, the surface modifications and targeting mechanisms of gold nanomaterials will be described. Recent signs of progress in the application of gold nanomaterials for synergetic cancer therapies such as photodynamic and photo-thermal therapies in combination with other common interventions such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and will be reviewed. Also, a summary of the pharmacokinetics of gold nanostructures will be delivered. Finally, the challenges and outlooks of the gold nanostructures in the clinics for applications in cancer treatments are debated.

Abstract
Surface PEGylation of nanomedicine is effective for prolonging blood circulation time and facilitating the EPR effect, whereas the hydrophilic stealth surface inhibits effective cellular uptake and hinders active targeting. To address the dilemma, herein, a NIR light-triggered dePEGylation/ligand-presenting strategy based on thermal decomposition of azo bonds is developed, whereby Dox/Pz-IR nanoparticle is self-assembled from thermo-labile azo molecule-linked long PEG chain polymer (Pz-IR), cRGD-conjugated IR783 with short PEG chains (rP-IR) and doxorubicin. The long PEG chains could mask cRGD peptides in the blood circulation, preventing serum degradation and nonspecific interaction with normal cells. Once exposed to NIR laser, the PEG corona is stripped off owing to the rupture of azo bonds through the photothermal effect of IR783, and the masked cRGD peptides are exposed, which remarkably enhances cellular uptake by tumor cells and improves tumor accumulation. Dox/Pz-IR achieves the optimal synergy of photothermal-chemotherapy at mild temperature through progressive tumor accumulation, precisely regulated photothermal effect and NIR-PTT induced pulsated drug release. The strategy of NIR photo-driven dePEGylation/targeting offers a new approach to overcoming the "PEG dilemma", and provides a noval avenue for programmed tumor-targeted drug delivery.

Core-shell structured hollow copper sulfide@metal-organic framework for magnetic resonance imaging guided photothermal therapy in second near-infrared biological window. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2023; 638:51-57.

Abstract
Multifunctional core-shell hybrids formed by integration of metal-organic framework (MOF) and functional materials have attracted extensive attention as promising theranostic nanoplatforms due to their combined novel properties and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Recently, the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) laser-induced photothermal therapy (PTT) as compared to the NIR-I(700-950 nm) laser-induced PTT has displayed improved therapeutic effects owing to its merits that include deeper tissue penetration and increased maximum permissible exposure. Herein, a novel core-shell hollow copper sulfide@metal-organic framework (HCuS@MIL-100) has been successfully fabricated by a layer-by-layer technique for the first time and their collective theranostic effects are investigated in vitro and in vivo. In this platform, the inner HCuS was applied as the NIR-II photothermal agent with excellent NIR-II absorption feature, leading to impressive photothermal effects under irradiation by 1064 nm light. With MIL-100 as the shell, HCuS@MIL-100 not only displayed optimal biocompatibility but also presented superior T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ability. In the current study multifunctional hollow core-shell HCuS@MIL-100 are fabricated for the MRI-guided PTT. This study also offers a facile and effective strategy for the development of novel theranostic platforms with high efficiency through the integration of MOFs and functional materials.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed bioorthogonal bond cleavage reactions are widely used and frequently reported. It is circumscribed by low reaction efficiency, which may encumber the therapeutic outcome when applied to physiological environments. Herein, an NIR-II light promoted integrated catalyst (CuS@PDA/Pd) (PDA - polydopamine) is designed to accelerate the reaction efficiency and achieve a dual bioorthogonal reaction for combination therapy. As NIR-II light can penetrate deeply into tissue, the Pd-mediated cleavage reaction can be promoted both in vitro and in vivo by the photothermal properties of CuS, beneficial to orthotopic 4T1 tumor treatment. In addition, CuS also catalyzes the synthesis of active resveratrol analogs by the CuAAC reaction. These simultaneously produced anticancer agents result in enhanced antitumor cytotoxicity in comparison to the single treatments. This is a fascinating study to devise an integrated catalyst boosted by NIR-II light for dual bioorthogonal catalysis, which may provide the impetus for efficient bioorthogonal combination therapy in vivo.

Abstract
The cancer treatment by laser-conjugated nanomaterial has become a new developing trend due of their unique physicochemical performance. The previous few studies reported the preparation of undoped CuS nanoprisms. The current research was concerned with the Mn doping effect on the CuS nanoprisms and its activity in tumor toxicity of M.D. Anderson-Metastatic Breast 231 (MDA-MB-231) cell line with laser treatment. To prepare a novel CuS and Mn-doped CuS nanoprisms with high surface area by two-phase colloidal method, copper nitrate and sulfur powder were used as sources of copper and sulfur respectively. The prepared nanoprisms were investigated as antibacterial and photothermal agents in MDA-MB-231 cancer treatment using near-infrared (NIR) laser. The Mn-CuS nanoprisms were modified with glutathione (GSH) to decrease the cytotoxicity and increase the biocompatibility. The characterization of synthesized nanoprisms involved the structural, compositional, surface charges, optical, and morphological property analyses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed the peaks of hexagonal covellite copper sulfide nanoparticles and additional diffraction peaks at Mn-CuS which are assigned to orthorhombic chalcocite CuS. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the CuS and Mn-CuS nanoparticles have nanoprism morphology. The antibacterial activity test revealed that the activity enhances by doping and the prepared Mn-CuS nanostructures were more effective against the Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The results of photothermal treatment indicated that the cancer cells were effectively killed and the GSH@Mn-CuS nanoprisms are able to be used as an efficient theranostic agent for tumor photothermal therapy in the future.

Abstract
Globally, cancer is affecting societies and is becoming an important cause of death. Chemotherapy can be highly effective, but it is associated with certain problems, such as undesired targeting and multidrug resistance. The other advanced therapies, such as gene therapy and peptide therapy, do not prove to be effective without a proper delivery medium. Polymer-based hybrid nanoarchitectures have enormous potential in drug delivery. The polymers used in these nanohybrids (NHs) provide them with their distinct properties and also enable the controlled release of the drugs. This review features the recent use of polymers in the preparation of different nanohybrids for cancer therapy published since 2015 in some reputed journals. The polymeric nanohybrids provide an advantage in drug delivery with the controlled and targeted delivery of a payload and the irradiation of cancer by chemotherapeutical and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Background Glucose oxidase (GOx)-based starvation therapy is a new cancer treatment strategy. However, the characteristics such as limited curative effect and hypoxic tumor environment hinder its further application seriously. Methods Herein, doxorubicin (DOX) loaded in hollow mesoporous copper sulfide (HMCuS) nanoparticles assembled with manganese dioxide (HMMD) as nanoshell was prepared. We developed a targeted enhanced cancer treatment method to camouflage HMMD by GOx-functionalized platelet (PLT) membranes (HMMD@PG). Results GOx can be specially transported to the tumor site with PLT membrane for effective starvation treatment. Glucose and oxygen (O2) in the tumor were converted to H2O2 under the catalysis of GOx. HMMD can catalyze H2O2 to produce O2 and consume glutathione (GSH) in time, which regulates the tumor microenvironment (TME) and improves the adverse conditions of anti-tumor. In addition, DOX encapsulated in HMCuS-MnO2 release was accelerated from the nanoparticles after the “gatekeeper” MnO2 is consumed. The study of anti-tumor mechanism shows that the remarkable tumor suppressive ability of HMMD@PG comes from the three peaks synergy of starvation treatment, photothermal treatment (PTT), and chemotherapy. This nanoplatform disguised by PLT membrane has significant tumor inhibition ability, good biocompatibility and almost has no side effects in main organs. Conclusion This work broadens the application mode of GOx and shows the new development of a multi-mode collaborative processing system of nanoplatforms based on cell membrane camouflage.

Abstract
Stent placement is an effective palliation therapy for malignant colorectal obstruction. However, recurrent obstruction is a common severe complication caused by tumor ingrowth into the stent lumen. Conventional covered stents play a part in preventing the tumor from growing inward but at the expense of significantly increasing the risk of stent migration. Therefore, there is an urgent demand to develop stents with sustained antitumor and antimigration abilities. Herein, we propose a facile method for fabricating multifunctional bioinspired colorectal stents using 3D printing technology. Inspired by high-adhesion biological structures (gecko feet, tree frog toe pads, and octopus suckers) in nature, different types of bioinspired colorectal stents are designed to reduce migration. After functionalization with graphene oxide (GO), bioinspired colorectal stents show excellent and controllable photothermal performance, which is validated by effective ablation of colon cancer cells in vitro and tumors in vivo. Besides, the bioinspired colorectal stents demonstrate the feasibility of transanal placement and opening of the obstructed colon. More importantly, the facile manufacturing process of multifunctional bioinspired colorectal stents is appealing for mass production. Hence, the developed multifunctional bioinspired colorectal stents exhibit a highly promising potential in clinical applications.

Abstract
The therapeutic effect of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is severely limited because of the shallow tissue penetration depth of the first near-infrared (NIR-I) light. Multifunctional nanotheranostics irradiated by the second near-infrared (NIR-II) light have received wide interest with respect to deeper tissue penetration, and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) synergistic phototherapy can achieve the complete elimination of tumors. Herein, we successfully constructed a single NIR-II light-induced nanotheranostic using cerium oxide (CeO2-x) with abundant oxygen vacancies for photoacoustic imaging-guided SDT-enhanced phototherapy for the first time. CeO2-x with surface crystalline disorder showed extensive NIR-II region absorption and an outstanding photothermal conversion ability. In addition, the CeO2-x layer with numerous oxygen defects can promote the separation of holes and electrons by ultrasound irradiation, which can remarkably enhance the efficacy of phototherapy to achieve high-efficiency tumor ablation. CeO2-x was surface modified with hyaluronic acid (HA) to prepare CeO2-x@HA to allow active tumor targeting efficiency. Both cell and animal experiments confirmed that all-in-one CeO2-x@HA exhibited a high therapeutic efficacy of SDT-enhanced PDT/PTT under 1064 nm laser irradiation, which achieved complete tumor eradication without systemic toxicity. This study significantly broadened the application of NIR-II-responsive CeO2-x for photoacoustic imaging-mediated SDT-enhanced phototherapy to the highly efficient and precise elimination of tumors.

Abstract
Abstract
As implant substitutes are increasingly applied to the clinic, the infection caused by implants has become one of the most common complications, and the modification of the antibacterial function of the implant can reduce such complications. In this work, a well-defined bowl-shaped nanostructure coating with photocatalytic and photothermal synergistic antibacterial properties was prepared on Ti-19Zr-10Nb-1Fe (TZNF) alloy. The coating is obtained by spin-coating and sintering TiO2 precursors templated from self-assembled microspheres of polystyrene-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-P4VP) amphiphilic block polymer (BCP) on TZNF alloy. PS-P4VP provides the bowl-shaped TiO2 nanostructures doped with C, N elements, reducing the bandgap of TiO2, which can absorb near-infrared (NIR) light to release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and produce photothermal conversion. The bowl structure is expected to enhance the utilization of light via the reflection in the confined space. The bowl-shaped surface has 100% antibacterial rates after 30 min of NIR light irradiation. In addition to antibacterial properties, the bowl-shaped surface has better hydrophilicity and protein adsorption capacity. The amount of protein adsorbed on TZNF with the bowl-shaped structures was 6 times that of TZNF. Hence, the bowl-shaped nanostructure can promote the proliferation and adhesion of osteoblasts, the cell proliferation rate was increased by 10-30%.

Abstract
Integrating nanoscale building blocks of low dimensionality (0D; i.e., spheres) into higher dimensional structures endows them and their corresponding materials with emergent properties non-existent or only weakly existent in the individual building blocks. Constructing 1D chains, 2D arrays and 3D superlattices using nanoparticles and colloids therefore continues to be one of the grand goals in colloid and nanomaterial science. Amongst these higher order structures, 1D colloidal chains are of particular interest, as they possess unique anisotropic properties. In recent years, the most relevant advances in 1D colloidal chain research have been made in novel synthetic methodologies and applications. In this review, we first address a comprehensive description of the research progress concerning various synthetic strategies developed to construct 1D colloidal chains. Following this, we highlight the amplified and emergent properties of the resulting materials, originating from the assembly of the individual building blocks and their collective behavior, and discuss relevant applications in advanced materials. In the discussion of synthetic strategies, properties, and applications, particular attention will be paid to overarching concepts, fresh trends, and potential areas of future research. We believe that this comprehensive review will be a driver to guide the interdisciplinary field of 1D colloidal chains, where nanomaterial synthesis, self-assembly, physical property studies, and material applications meet, to a higher level, and open up new research opportunities at the interface of classical disciplines.

Abstract
Exogenous stimulation catalytic therapy has received enormous attention as it holds great promise to address global medical issues. However, the therapeutic effect of catalytic therapy is seriously restricted by the fast charge recombination and the limited utilization of exogenous stimulation by catalysts. In the past few decades, many strategies have been developed to overcome the above serious drawbacks, among which heterojunctions are the most widely used and promising strategy. This review attempts to summarize the recent progress in the rational design and fabrication of heterojunction nanomedicine, such as semiconductor-semiconductor heterojunctions (including type I, type II, type III, PN, and Z-scheme junctions) and semiconductor-metal heterojunctions (including Schottky, Ohmic, and localized surface plasmon resonance-mediated junctions). The catalytic mechanisms and properties of the above junction systems are also discussed in relation to biomedical applications, especially cancer treatment and sterilization. This review concludes with a summary of the challenges and some perspectives on future directions in this exciting and still evolving field of research.

Abstract
In electrochemical metallization memristor, the performance of resistive switching (RS) is influenced by the forming and fusing of conductive filaments within the dielectric layer. However, the growth of filaments, mostly, is unpredictable and uncontrollable. For this reason, to optimize ions migration paths in the dielectric layer itself in the Al/CuxS/Cu structure, uniform CuxS nanosheets films have been synthesized using anodization for various time spans. And the Al/CuxS/Cu devices show a low operating voltage of less than 0.3 V and stable RS performance. At the same time, a reversible negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior is also demonstrated. And then, the mechanism of repeatable coexistence of RS effect and NDR phenomenon is investigated exhaustively. Analyses suggest that the combined physical model of space-charge limited conduction mechanism and conductive filaments bias-induced migration of Cu ions within the CuxS dielectric layer is responsible for the RS operation, meanwhile, a Schottky barrier caused by copper vacancy at the CuxS/Cu interface is demonstrated to explain the NDR phenomenon. This work will develop a new way to optimize the performance of non-volatile memory with multiple physical attributes in the future.

Abstract
A rapid increase in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) induced infection has been noticed in recent years and the biofilm formed by MRSA further delays wound healing, causing a high mortality rate. Hence, a safe and effective superoxide radical (O2•-) mediated self-synthesis strategy is developed to prepare Au-doped MoO3-x (Au/MoO3-x) plasmonic-semiconductor hybrid for the elimination of MRSA mediated wound infection. The synthesis mechanism of Au NPs is systematically investigated, proving that O2•- plays a key role in reduction of HAuCl4 into Au NPs in the presence of H2O and O2. Au-doped MoO3-x exhibits the improved photothermal conversion efficiency (∼52.40%) compared with MoO3-x (∼41.11%). Moreover, the peroxidase (POD)-like activity of Au/MoO3-x hybrid is higher than that of MoO3-x NPs, resulting in increased yield of highly toxic ·OH. In combination with the enhanced photothermal and POD-like properties, Au/MoO3-x hybrid achieves efficient elimination of MRSA bacteria with eradication ratio of ∼99.76%. Additionally, the as-prepared Au/MoO3-x NPs exhibit excellent biosafety, which is verified via in vitro and in vivo experiments. This study provides the basis for exploring MoO3-x-based hybrids via a green O2•--mediated self-synthesis approach.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has emerged as a powerful technique for the high resolution visualization of biological processes within deep tissue. Through the development and application of exogenous targeted contrast agents and activatable probes that can respond to a given cancer biomarker, researchers can image molecular events in vivo during cancer progression. This information can provide valuable details that can facilitate cancer diagnosis and therapy monitoring. In this tutorial review, we provide a step-by-step guide to select a cancer biomarker and subsequent approaches to design imaging agents for in vivo use. We envision this information will be a useful summary to those in the field, new members to the community, and graduate students taking advanced imaging coursework. We also highlight notable examples from the recent literature, with emphasis on the molecular designs and their in vivo PA imaging performance. To conclude, we provide our outlook and future perspective in this exciting field.

Abstract
Despite considerable progress has been achieved in hypoxia-associated anti-tumor therapy, the efficacy of utilizing hypoxia-activated prodrugs alone is not satisfied owing to the inadequate hypoxia within the tumor regions. In this work, a mitochondrial targeted nanoplatform integrating photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy has been developed to synergistically treat cancer and maximize the therapeutic window. Polydopamine coated hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles were used as the photothermal nanoagents and thermosensitive drug carriers for loading the hypoxia-activated prodrug, TH302, in our study. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and triphenyl phosphonium (TPP) were conjugated onto the surface of the nanoplatform. Under the action of TPP, the obtained nanoplatform preferentially accumulated in mitochondria to restore the drug activity and avoid drug resistance. Using 660 nm laser to excite Ce6 can generate ROS and simultaneously exacerbate the cellular hypoxia. While under the irradiation of 808 nm laser, the nanoplatform produced local heat which can increase the release of TH302 in tumor cells, ablate cancer cells as well as intensify the tumor hypoxia levels. The aggravated tumor hypoxia then significantly boosted the anti-tumor efficiency of TH302. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the greatly improved anti-cancer activity compared to conventional hypoxia-associated chemotherapy. This work highlights the potential of using a combination of hypoxia-activated prodrugs plus phototherapy for synergistic cancer treatment.

Abstract
The preparation of hollow materials is one of the most feasible ways to obtain efficient electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers. Herein, using the copper-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOF-74) as templates, hollow copper-based sulfides with various morphologies (rod-like, cubic, and dodecahedral) were designed and synthesized. The outer Cu2S and/or Cu31S16 shell possesses excellent electronic conductivity and abundant heterogeneous interfaces, while the inner hollow cavity endows the absorbers with lightweight characteristics and good impedance matching according to the Maxwell-Garnett (MG) theory. Accordingly, the effective absorption bandwidth reaches 6.2 GHz at 2.3 mm with 20 wt% filler loading, exhibiting superior performance compared with the vast majority of previous MOFs derived absorbers. Furthermore, our study can serve a guide to construct hollow structured nanocomposites to tune electromagnetic parameters and strengthen EMW absorption properties.

Hollow structures have demonstrated great potential in drug delivery owing to their privileged structure, such as high surface-to-volume ratio, low density, large cavities, and hierarchical pores. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of hollow structured materials applied in targeting recognition, smart response, and drug release, and we have addressed the possible chemical factors and reactions in these three processes. The advantages of hollow nanostructures are summarized as follows: hollow cavity contributes to large loading capacity; a tailored structure helps controllable drug release; variable compounds adapt to flexible application; surface modification facilitates smart responsive release. Especially, because the multiple physical barriers and chemical interactions can be induced by multishells, hollow multishelled structure is considered as a promising material with unique loading and releasing properties. Finally, we conclude this review with some perspectives on the future research and development of the hollow structures as drug carriers.
