Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as a promising non-invasive anti-tumor means features the preferable penetration depth, which nevertheless, usually can't work without sonosensitizers. Sonosensitizers produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of ultrasound to directly kill tumor cells, and concurrently activate anti-tumor immunity especially after integration with tumor microenvironment (TME)-engineered nanobiotechnologies and combined therapy. Current sonosensitizers are classified into organic and inorganic ones, and current most reviews only cover organic sonosensitizers and highlighted their anti-tumor applications. However, there have few specific reviews that focus on inorganic sonosensitizers including their design principles, microenvironment regulation, etc. In this review, inorganic sonosensitizers are first classified according to their design rationales rather than composition, and the action rationales and underlying chemistry features are highlighted. Afterward, what and how TME is regulated based on the inorganic sonosensitizers-based SDT nanoplatform with an emphasis on the TME targets-engineered nanobiotechnologies are elucidated. Additionally, the combined therapy and their applications in non-cancer diseases are also outlined. Finally, the setbacks and challenges, and proposed the potential solutions and future directions is pointed out. This review provides a comprehensive and detailed horizon on inorganic sonosensitizers, and will arouse more attentions on SDT.

Abstract
PD-1 blockade is a first-line treatment for recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer but benefits only a small number of patients due to low preexisting tumor immunogenicity. Using immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers is a promising strategy for improving immunotherapy, but these compounds are limited by the hypoxic environment of solid tumors. To overcome this issue, the nanosensitizer AIBA@MSNs were designed based on sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which induces tumor cell death under hypoxic conditions through azo free radicals in a method of nonoxygen radicals. Mechanistically, the azo free radicals disrupt both the structure and function of tumor mitochondria by reversing the mitochondrial membrane potential and facilitating the collapse of electron transport chain complexes. More importantly, the AIBA@MSN-based SDT serves as an effective ICD inducer and improves the antitumor immune capacity. The combination of an AIBA@MSN-based SDT with a PD-1 blockade has the potential to improve response rates and provide protection against relapse. This study provides insights into the use of azo free radicals as a promising SDT strategy for cancer treatment and establishes a basic foundation for nonoxygen-dependent SDT-triggered immunotherapy in cervical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Catalytic nanoparticles (CNPs) as heterogeneous catalyst reveals superior activity due to their physio-chemical features, such as high surface-to-volume ratio and unique optical, electric, and magnetic properties. The CNPs, based on their physio-chemical nature, can either increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level for tumor and antibacterial therapy or eliminate the ROS for cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging. In addition, the catalytic activity of nanozymes can specifically trigger a specific reaction accompanied by the optical feature change, presenting the feasibility of biosensor and bioimaging applications. Undoubtedly, CNPs play a pivotal role in pushing the evolution of technologies in medical and clinical fields, and advanced strategies and nanomaterials rely on the input of chemical experts to develop. Herein, a systematic and comprehensive review of the challenges and recent development of CNPs for biomedical applications is presented from the viewpoint of advanced nanomaterial with unique catalytic activity and additional functions. Furthermore, the biosafety issue of applying biodegradable and non-biodegradable nanozymes and future perspectives are critically discussed to guide a promising direction in developing span-new nanozymes and more intelligent strategies for overcoming the current clinical limitations.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) photothermal manipulation has emerged as a promising and noninvasive technology for neuroscience research and disease therapy for its deep tissue penetration. NIR stimulated techniques have been used to modulate neural activity. However, due to the lack of suitable in vivo control systems, most studies are limited to the cellular level. Here, a NIR photothermal technique is developed to modulate cellular excitability and animal behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans in vivo via the thermosensitive transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel with an FDA-approved photothermal agent indocyanine green (ICG). Upon NIR stimuli, exogenous expression of TRPV1 in AFD sensory neurons causes Ca2+ influx, leading to increased neural excitability and reversal behaviors, in the presence of ICG. The GABAergic D-class motor neurons can also be activated by NIR irradiation, resulting in slower thrashing behaviors. Moreover, the photothermal manipulation is successfully applied in different types of muscle cells (striated muscles and nonstriated muscles), enhancing muscular excitability, causing muscle contractions and behavior changes in vivo. Altogether, this study demonstrates a noninvasive method to precisely regulate the excitability of different types of cells and related behaviors in vivo by NIR photothermal manipulation, which may be applied in mammals and clinical therapy.

Abstract
The journey of ceramics in medicine has been synchronized with an evolution from the first generation-alumina, zirconia, etc.-to the third -3D scaffolds. There is an up-and-coming member called oxygen-deficient or colored bioceramics, which have recently found their way through biomedical applications. The oxygen vacancy steers the light absorption toward visible and near infrared regions, making the colored bioceramics multifunctional-therapeutic, diagnostic, and regenerative. Oxygen-deficient bioceramics are capable of turning light into heat and reactive oxygen species for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, respectively, and concomitantly yield infrared and photoacoustic images. Different types of oxygen-deficient bioceramics have been recently developed through various synthesis routes. Some of them like TiO2- x , MoO3- x , and WOx have been more investigated for biomedical applications, whereas the rest have yet to be scrutinized. The most prominent advantage of these bioceramics over the other biomaterials is their multifunctionality endowed with a change in the microstructure. There are some challenges ahead of this category discussed at the end of the present review. By shedding light on this recently born bioceramics subcategory, it is believed that the field will undergo a big step further as these platforms are naturally multifunctional.

Acta Biomater 2023; 168:606-616. [PMID: 37479157 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
The misdiagnosis of tumors due to insufficient penetration depth or signal interference and damage to normal tissues due to indiscriminate treatment are the biggest challenges in using photothermal agents for clinical translation. To overcome these limitations, a strategy of switching from the near-infrared (NIR)-I region to the NIR-II region was developed based on tumor microenvironment (TME)-mediated gold (Au) self-assembly. Using zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) metal-organic framework-coated gold nanorods (AuNRs@ZIF-8) as a model photothermal agent, we demonstrated that only a NIR-I photoacoustic imaging signal was observed in normal tissue because ZIF-8 could prevent the aggregation of AuNRs. However, when ZIF-8 dissociated in the TME, the AuNRs aggregated to activate NIR-II photoacoustic imaging and attenuate the NIR-I signal, thereby allowing an accurate diagnosis of tumors based on signal transformation. Notably, TME-activated NIR-II photothermal therapy could also inhibit tumor growth. Therefore, this TME-activated NIR-I-to-NIR-II switching strategy could improve the accuracy of deep-tumor diagnoses and avoid the injury caused by undifferentiated treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Photothermal agents used for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy have garnered great attention for tumor theranostics. However, always "turned on" near-infrared (NIR)-I laser (700-1000 nm)-responsive photothermal agents face issues of penetration depth and damage to normal tissues. In contrast, tumor microenvironment-activated NIR-II "smart" photothermal agents exhibit deeper penetration depth and tumor selectivity. Therefore, a NIR-I-to-NIR-II switching strategy was developed based on tumor microenvironment-mediated Au self-assembly. This work provides a new strategy for developing tumor microenvironment-activated NIR-II smart photothermal agents.

Abstract
Immunotherapy, including checkpoint blockade immunotherapy (CBI), has witnessed remarkable progress in cancer therapy. Nonetheless, significant obstacles to successful immunotherapy remain. Notably, tumour non-responsiveness to immunotherapy due to immunosuppressive tumour microenvironments (TMEs). To revitalize immunosuppressive TMEs various therapeutic strategies have been reported by researchers. Immunostimulatory adjuvant treatments (IAT) are the most widely investigated ones. Due to their biodegradability, compositional tenability, and inherent immune effectiveness, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) with metal nodes and organic linkers can be used as versatile nanomaterials for IAT. This review summarizes the progress in nMOF-based tumour immunotherapy in promoting immunostimulatory TMEs. And in combination with other cancer immunotherapies to increase tumour immunogenicity and antitumor efficacy. Finally, the challenges of nMOFs in tumour immunotherapy are also discussed.

Controlled-release drug carriers in cancer therapy are the most ideal way to reduce toxicity and improve drug efficacy. Since light stimulation is precise and operable, most multi-stimulation response carriers utilize phototherapy to enhance release efficiency. However, phototoxicity severely limits the application of phototherapy. Herein, we designed and synthesized a Cou-ONB lipid with sensitive fluorescence feedback and multi-stimulus response. COBL liposomes prepared from Cou-ONB lipids will passively aggregate at the tumor and guide phototherapy by fluorescence. More importantly, it can reflect the drug release effect in vivo through its own sensitive fluorescence changes, further enabling precise phototherapy and reducing phototoxicity. In this paper, the multi-stimulus superimposed response and precise fluorescence-guided performance of COBL liposomes were investigated at the molecular, liposome, cellular, and animal levels. Finally, tumor treatment experiments showed that the d-COBL-UV group had the best tumor suppression effect (5.3-fold). This paper highlights a real-time fluorescence-guided multi-stimulus superposition strategy and provides a design idea to precisely implement exogenous stimuli by displaying the degree of drug release, aiming to achieve less toxic and more efficient cancer therapy through timely and precise multi-stimulation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Multi-stimulus responsive drug carriers have been extensively developed in the last decade. Visual guidance is an important tool to achieve precision medicine and precise control of drug release. However, the available visualization materials are more aimed at directing stimulation at the optimal moment. There is little discussion on when to stop exogenous stimulation and how to minimize the damage of stimulation to the patient. Here, we provide a Cou-ONB lipid that not only responds to multiple stimuli, but also provides sensitive feedback on its own dissociation with a fluorescent signal so that physicians can adjust exogenous stimuli in a timely manner. This paper provides insights to facilitate precision drug delivery systems, providing viable design ideas for precise, efficient, and less toxic cancer therapies.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (e.g., graphene) have shown to have a high potential in future biomedical applications due to their unique physicochemical properties such as unusual electrical conductivity, high biocompatibility, large surface area, and extraordinary thermal and mechanical properties. Although the potential of graphene as the most common 2D nanomaterials in biomedical applications has been extensively investigated, the practical use of other nanoengineered 2D materials beyond graphene such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), topological insulators (TIs), phosphorene, antimonene, bismuthene, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MXenes for biomedical applications have not been appreciated so far. This review highlights not only the unique opportunities of 2D nanomaterials beyond graphene in various biomedical research areas such as bioelectronics, imaging, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine but also addresses the risk factors and challenges ahead from the medical perspective and clinical translation of nanoengineered 2D materials. In conclusion, the perspectives and future roadmap of nanoengineered 2D materials beyond graphene are outlined for biomedical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of sonodynamic therapy and oxygenation strategy is widely used in cancer treatment. However, due to the complexity, heterogeneity and irreversible hypoxic environment produced by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues, oxygen-enhancing sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has failed to achieve the desired results. With the emergence of ferroptosis with reactive oxygen species (ROS) cytotoxicity, this novel cell death method has attracted widespread attention. METHODS In this study, nanobubbles (NBs) were connected with the sonosensitizer Indocyanine green (ICG) to construct a 2-in-1 nanoplatform loaded with RAS-selective lethal (RSL3, ferroptosis promoter) (RSL3@O2-ICG NBs), combined with oxygen-enhanced SDT and potent ferroptosis. In addition, nanobubbles (NBs) combined with low-frequency ultrasound (LFUS) are called ultrasound-targeted nanobubble destruction (UTND) to ensure specific drug release and improve safety. RESULTS MDA/GSH and other related experimental results show that RSL3@O2-ICG NBs can enhance SDT and ferroptosis. Through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), the differential expression of LncRNA and mRNA before and after synergistic treatment was identified, and then GO and KEGG pathways were used to enrich and analyze target genes and pathways related ferroptosis sensitivity. We found that they were significantly enriched in the ferroptosis-related pathway MAPK cascade and cell proliferation. Then, we searched for the expression of differentially expressed genes in the TCGA Hepatocellular carcinoma cohort. At the same time, we evaluated the proportion of immune cell infiltration and the identification of co-expression network modules and related prognostic analysis. We found that it was significantly related to the tumor microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma. The prognostic risk genes "SLC37A2" and "ITGB7" may represent new hepatocellular carcinoma ferroptosis-inducing markers and have guiding significance for treating hepatocellular carcinoma. CONCLUSION The therapeutic effect of the in vitro synergistic treatment has been proven to be significant, revealing the prospect of 2-in-1 nanobubbles combined with SDT and ferroptosis in treating HCC.

Abstract
The therapeutic effect of general photodynamic therapy (PDT) is gravely limited by the poor penetration depth of exogenous light radiation. In recent years, Cerenkov radiation (CR) has been exploringly applied to overcome this critical defect. However, the currently reported type I photosensitizers for CR-induced PDT (CRIT) are only TiO2 nanoparticle-based agents with numerous fatally intrinsic drawbacks. Herein, we developed NH2-Ti32O16 nanocluster (NTOC)-derived ultrasmall nanophotosensitizers (NPSs, denoted as TDPs) via innovate ligand engineering. The introduced dopamine (DA) ligands not only facilitate the water solubility and photocatalytic properties of NPSs but also involve the tumor-targeting behavior through the binding affinity with DA receptors on cancer cells. Under CR irradiation, TDPs enable efficient hydroxyl radical (·OH) generation benefiting from the enhanced separation of hole (h+)-electron (e-) pairs, where the h+ will react with H2O to execute type I PDT and the transferred e- can realize the augmentation of Ti3+ to substantially promote the therapeutic index of chemodynamic therapy. This study provides an easy but feasible strategy for constructing versatile NPSs with an ultrasmall framework structure, propounding a refreshing paradigm for implementing efficient CR-induced combined therapy (CRICT) and spurring the development of CR and titanium-familial nanoplatforms in the fields of photocatalysis and nanocatalytic medicine.

Abstract
Ultrasound-activated therapies have been regarded as the efficient strategy for tumor treatment, among which sonosensitizer-enabled sonodynamic oxidative tumor therapy features intrinsic advantages as compared to other exogenous trigger-activated dynamic therapies. Nanomedicine-based nanosonosensitizer design has been extensively explored for improving the therapeutic efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of tumor. This review focuses on solving two specific issues, i.e., precise and enhanced sonodynamic oxidative tumor treatment, by rationally designing and engineering multifunctional composite nanosonosensitizers. This multifunctional design can augment the therapeutic efficacy of SDT against tumor by either improving the production of reactive oxygen species or inducing the synergistic effect of SDT-based combinatorial therapies. Especially, this multifunctional design is also capable of endowing the nanosonosensitizer with bioimaging functionality, which can effectively guide and monitor the therapeutic procedure of the introduced sonodynamic oxidative tumor treatment. The design principles, underlying material chemistry for constructing multifunctional composite nanosonosensitizers, intrinsic synergistic mechanism, and bioimaging guided/monitored precise SDT are summarized and discussed in detail with the most representative paradigms. Finally, the existing critical issues, available challenges, and potential future developments of this research area are also discussed for promoting the further clinical translations of these multifunctional composite nanosonosensitizers in SDT-based tumor treatment.

Abstract
Cancer precision medicine (CPM) could tailor the best treatment for individual cancer patients, while imaging techniques play important roles in its application. With the characteristics of noninvasion, nonionized, radiation-free, multidimensional imaging function, and real-time monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an effective way for early tumor detection, and it has become a tower of strength in CPM imaging techniques. Due to linkage with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agent (CA), which was long used in MRI, has been restricted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this review, we would like to introduce the manganese (Mn)-based CAs that could significantly increase the safety of MRI CAs by realizing more superior performance and functions simultaneously in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Also, recent advances in Mn-based hybrid nanomaterials for CPM are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related therapeutic approaches are developed as a promising modality for cancer treatment because the aberrant increase of intracellular ROS level can cause cell death due to nonspecific oxidation damage to key cellular biomolecules. However, the most widely considered strategy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), suffers from critical limitations such as limited tissue-penetration depth, high oxygen dependence, and phototoxicity. Non-photo-induced ROS generation strategies, which are defined as Xdynamic therapies (X = sono, radio, microwave, chemo, thermo, and electro), show good potential to overcome the drawbacks of PDT. Herein, recent advances in the development of Xdynamic therapies, including the design of systems, the working mechanisms, and examples of cancer therapy application, are introduced. Furthermore, the approaches to enhance treatment efficiency of Xdynamic therapy are highlighted. Finally, the perspectives and challenges of these strategies are also discussed.

Abstract
The fast development of nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology has enabled the emerging of versatile therapeutic modalities with high therapeutic efficiency and biosafety, among which nanosonosensitizer-involved sonodynamic therapy (SDT) employs ultrasound (US) as the exogenous activation source for inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and disease therapy. The chemoreactive nanosonosensitizers are the critical components participating in the SDT process, which generally determine the SDT efficiency and therapeutic outcome. Compared to the traditional and mostly explored organic sonosensitizers, the recently developed inorganic chemoreactive nanosonosensitizers feature the distinct high stability, multifunctionality and significantly different SDT mechanism. This review dominantly discusses and highlights two types of inorganic nanosensitizers in sonodynamic treatments of various diseases and their underlying therapeutic mechanism, including US-activated generation of electrons (e-) and holes (h+) for facilitating the following ROS production and delivery of organic molecular sonosensitizers. Especially, this review proposes four strategies aiming for augmenting the SDT efficiency on antitumor and antibacterial applications based on inorganic sonosensitizers, including defect engineering, novel metal coupling, increasing electric conductivity and alleviating tumor hypoxia. The encountered challenges and critical issues facing these inorganic nanosonosensitzers are also highlighted and discussed for advancing their clinical translations.

Abstract
The rapid knowledge growth of nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology enables and promotes the emergence of distinctive disease-specific therapeutic modalities, among which nanomedicine-enabled/augmented nanodynamic therapy (NDT), as triggered by either exogenous or endogenous activators on nanosensitizers, can generate reactive radicals for accomplishing efficient disease nanotherapies with mitigated side effects and endowed disease specificity. As one of the most representative modalities of NDT, traditional light-activated photodynamics suffers from the critical and unsurmountable issues of the low tissue-penetration depth of light and the phototoxicity of the photosensitizers. To overcome these obstacles, versatile nanomedicine-enabled/augmented NDTs have been explored for satisfying varied biomedical applications, which strongly depend on the physicochemical properties of the involved nanomedicines and nanosensitizers. These distinctive NDTs refer to sonodynamic therapy (SDT), thermodynamic therapy (TDT), electrodynamic therapy (EDT), piezoelectric dynamic therapy (PZDT), pyroelectric dynamic therapy (PEDT), radiodynamic therapy (RDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Herein, the critical roles, functions, and biological effects of nanomedicine (e.g., sonosensitizing, photothermal-converting, electronic, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, radiation-sensitizing, and catalytic properties) for enabling the therapeutic procedure of NDTs, are highlighted and discussed, along with the underlying therapeutic principle and optimization strategy for augmenting disease-therapeutic efficacy and biosafety. The present challenges and critical issues on the clinical translations of NDTs are also discussed and clarified.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in physiological and pathological processes. Studies on the regulation of ROS for disease treatments have caused wide concern, mainly involving the topics in ROS-regulating therapy such as antioxidant therapy triggered by ROS scavengers and ROS-induced toxic therapy mediated by ROS-elevation agents. Benefiting from the remarkable advances of nanotechnology, a large number of nanomaterials with the ROS-regulating ability are developed to seek new and effective ROS-related nanotherapeutic modalities or nanomedicines. Although considerable achievements have been made in ROS-based nanomedicines for disease treatments, some fundamental but key questions such as the rational design principle for ROS-related nanomaterials are held in low regard. Here, the design principle can serve as the initial framework for scientists and technicians to design and optimize the ROS-regulating nanomedicines, thereby minimizing the gap of nanomedicines for biomedical application during the design stage. Herein, an overview of the current progress of ROS-associated nanomedicines in disease treatments is summarized. And then, by particularly addressing these known strategies in ROS-associated therapy, several fundamental and key principles for the design of ROS-associated nanomedicines are presented. Finally, future perspectives are also discussed in depth for the development of ROS-associated nanomedicines.

Development of efficient therapeutic strategy to incorporate ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and ferroptosis is highly promising in cancer therapy. However, the SDT efficacy is severely limited by the hypoxia and high glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment, and ferroptosis is highly associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and GSH depletion. Methods: A manganese porphyrin-based metal-organic framework (Mn-MOF) was constructed as a nanosensitizer to self-supply oxygen (O2) and decrease GSH for enhanced SDT and ferroptosis. In vitro and in vivo analysis, including characterization, O2 generation, GSH depletion, ROS generation, lipid peroxidation, antitumor efficacy and tumor immune microenvironment were systematically evaluated. Results: Mn-MOF exhibited catalase-like and GSH decreasing activity in vitro. After efficient internalization into cancer cells, Mn-MOF persistently catalyzed tumor-overexpressed H2O2 to in-situ produce O2 to relieve tumor hypoxia and decrease GSH and GPX4, which facilitated the formation of ROS and ferroptosis to kill cancer cells upon US irradiation in hypoxic tumors. Thus, strong anticancer and anti-metastatic activity was found in H22 and 4T1 tumor-bearing mice after a single administration of Mn-MOF upon a single US irradiation. In addition, Mn-MOF showed strong antitumor immunity and improved immunosuppressive microenvironment upon US irradiation by increasing the numbers of activated CD8+ T cells and matured dendritic cells and decreaing the numbers of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in tumor tissues. Conclusions: Mn-MOF holds great potential for hypoxic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT), as a promising noninvasive therapeutic modality, has received ever-increasing attention in recent years. Its specialized chemical agents, named sonosensitizers, are activated by low-intensity US to produce lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) for oncotherapy. Compared with phototherapeutic strategies, SDT provides many noteworthy opportunities and benefits, such as deeper penetration depth, absence of phototoxicity, and fewer side effects. Nevertheless, previous studies have also demonstrated its intrinsic limitations. Thanks to the facile engineering nature of nanotechnology, numerous novel nanoplatforms are being applied in this emerging field to tackle these intrinsic barriers and achieve continuous innovations. In particular, the combination of SDT with other treatment strategies has demonstrated a superior efficacy in improving anticancer activity relative to that of monotherapies alone. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the nanomaterial-assisted combinational sonodynamic cancer therapy applications. Herein, the design principles in achieving synergistic therapeutic effects based on nanomaterial engineering methods are highlighted. The ultimate goals are to stimulate the design of better-quality combined sonodynamic treatment schemes and provide innovative ideas for the perspectives of SDT in promoting its future transformation to clinical application.

Abstract
Cancer has nowadays become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Conventional anticancer approaches are associated with different limitations. Therefore, innovative methodologies are being investigated, and several researchers propose the use of remotely activated nanoparticles to trigger cancer cell death. The idea is to conjugate two different components, i.e., an external physical input and nanoparticles. Both are given in a harmless dose that once combined together act synergistically to therapeutically treat the cell or tissue of interest, thus also limiting the negative outcomes for the surrounding tissues. Tuning both the properties of the nanomaterial and the involved triggering stimulus, it is possible furthermore to achieve not only a therapeutic effect, but also a powerful platform for imaging at the same time, obtaining a nano-theranostic application. In the present review, we highlight the role of nanoparticles as therapeutic or theranostic tools, thus excluding the cases where a molecular drug is activated. We thus present many examples where the highly cytotoxic power only derives from the active interaction between different physical inputs and nanoparticles. We perform a special focus on mechanical waves responding nanoparticles, in which remotely activated nanoparticles directly become therapeutic agents without the need of the administration of chemotherapeutics or sonosensitizing drugs.

Abstract
Nanoparticles able to promote inertial cavitation when exposed to focused ultrasound have recently gained much attention due to their vast range of possible applications in the biomedical field, such as enhancing drug penetration in tumor or supporting ultrasound contrast imaging. Due to their nanometric size, these contrast agents could penetrate through the endothelial cells of the vasculature to target tissues, thus enabling higher imaging resolutions than commercial gas-filled microbubbles. Herein, Zinc Oxide NanoCrystals (ZnO NCs), opportunely functionalized with amino-propyl groups, are developed as novel nanoscale contrast agents that are able, for the first time, to induce a repeatedly and over-time sustained inertial cavitation as well as ultrasound contrast imaging. The mechanism behind this phenomenon is investigated, revealing that re-adsorption of air gas nanobubbles on the nanocrystal surface is the key factor for this re-chargeable cavitation. Moreover, inertial cavitation and significant echographic signals are obtained at physiologically relevant ultrasound conditions (MI < 1.9), showing great potential for low side-effects in in-vivo applications of the novel nanoscale agent from diagnostic imaging to gas-generating theranostic nanoplatforms and to drug delivery.

Abstract
Anisotropic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), with their unique physical and optical properties, are emerging as smart and key nanomaterials and are being exploited in many crucial fields. To further improve their range of action, anisotropic AuNPs have been coupled with semiconductors, mainly TiO2 (titania), receiving great interest as powerful platforms both in biomedicine and in catalytic applications. Such hybrid nanoparticles show new properties that arise from the synergic action of the components and rely on NP size, morphology, and arrangement. Therefore, continuous advances in design and fabrication of new hybrid titania@gold NPs (TiO2@AuNPs) are urgent and highly desirable. Here, we propose an effective protocol to produce multibranched AuNPs covered by a controlled TiO2 thin layer, exploiting a one-pot microfluidic process. The proposed method allows the in-flow and reliable synthesis of titania-functionalized-anisotropic gold nanoparticles by avoiding the use of toxic surfactants and controlling the titania shell formation. TiO2@AuNPs have been fully characterized in terms of morphology, stability, and biocompatibility, and their activity in photocatalysis has been tested and verified.

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

Abstract
The rational design of nanoplatforms to bypass reticuloendothelial system (RES) clearance, enhance spatiotemporal controllability, and boost host immune responses to achieve synergized tumor-targeted therapeutic purpose is highly desired. Herein, a biomimetic nanosystem is developed for tumor-targeted in situ delivery of singlet oxygen (1O2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in response to exogenous stimulus ultrasound (US) and endogenous stimulus hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor microenvironment, respectively. Taking advantages of tumor homing and RES evasion abilities of the macrophage membrane coating, our designed nanosystem shows excellent accumulation at the tumor site and effective suppression of tumor growth through US/H2O2-generated 1O2 and CO to induce cell apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, our nanosystem can induce significant tumor immunogenic death by 1O2/CO therapy, then can achieve effective immune responses and long-term immune memory through the combination of indoleamin 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) signal blocking to effectively against tumor rechallenge and prevent lung metastasis. Taken together, the here-presented therapeutic strategy based on sonodynamic/CO therapy and IDO signaling inhibition might provide a promising perspective for synergistically treating cancer in future clinical translations.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is seriously threatening human health all over the world, especially with the emergence of increasing drug-fast bacteria. It is urgent to develop a drug-free strategy to kill bacteria rapidly and efficiently. In this work, humic acid (HuA) encapsulated zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) (HuA@ZIF-8) nanocomposites are synthesized by the in-situ growth of ZIF-8 on the surface of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-modified HuA. The synthesized nanocomposites possesses good photothermal effects, i.e., the temperature increased to 59.4 °C under the particle concentration of 1000 μg/mL with 10 min NIR irradiation. In addition, NIR irradiation can also control the release of Zn2+ from the composites. The good photothermal effects originate from HuA that can effectively absorb NIR light. The controlled release of Zn2+ is ascribed to the induced-dissociation of ZIF-8 under NIR light irradiation. The synergistic action of photothermal therapy and release of zinc ions contributes to the excellent antibacterial efficiency of HuA@ZIF-8 within a short time, i.e. 99.59 % and 99.37 % against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with 20 min NIR irradiation, respectively. This work provides a promising strategy to develop a light-responsive platform with good biodegradability and low cost for rapid and effective sterilization.

Abstract
Due to their high anisotropy and chemical functions, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted increasing interest and attention from various scientific fields, including functional electronics, catalysis, supercapacitors, batteries and energy materials. In the biomedical field, 2D nanomaterials have made significant contributions to the field of nanomedicine, especially in drug/gene delivery systems, multimodal imaging, biosensing, antimicrobial agents and tissue engineering. 2D nanomaterials such as graphene/graphene oxide (GO)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO), silicate clays, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal oxides (TMOs), black phosphorus (BP), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), antimonene (AM), boron nanosheets (B NSs) and tin telluride nanosheets (SnTe NSs) possess excellent physical, chemical, optical and biological properties due to their uniform shapes, high surface-to-volume ratios and surface charge. In this review, we first introduce the properties, structures and synthetic strategies of different configurations of 2D nanomaterials. Recent advances and paradigms of 2D nanomaterials in a variety of biomedical applications, ranging from drug delivery, cancer treatment, bioimaging and tissue engineering to biosensing are discussed afterwards. In the final part, we foresee the development prospects and challenges of 2D nanomaterials after summarizing the research status of ultrathin 2D nanomaterials.

Abstract
Catalysis and medicine are often considered as two independent research fields with their own respective scientific phenomena. Promoted by recent advances in nanochemistry, large numbers of nanocatalysts, such as nanozymes, photocatalysts, and electrocatalysts, have been applied in vivo to initiate catalytic reactions and modulate biological microenvironments for generating therapeutic effects. The rapid growth of research in biomedical applications of nanocatalysts has led to the concept of "nanocatalytic medicine," which is expected to promote the further advance of such a subdiscipline in nanomedicine. The high efficiency and selectivity of catalysis that chemists strived to achieve in the past century can be ingeniously translated into high efficacy and mitigated side effects in theranostics by using "nanocatalytic medicine" to steer catalytic reactions for optimized therapeutic outcomes. Here, the rationale behind the construction of nanocatalytic medicine is eludicated based on the essential reaction factors of catalytic reactions (catalysts, energy input, and reactant). Recent advances in this burgeoning field are then comprehensively presented and the mechanisms by which catalytic nanosystems are conferred with theranostic functions are discussed in detail. It is believed that such an emerging catalytic therapeutic modality will play a more important role in the field of nanomedicine.

Abstract
Effective tumor diagnosis and therapy have always been a significant but challenging issue. Although nanomedicine has shown great potential for improving the outcomes of tumor diagnosis and therapy, the nonspecial targeted distribution of nanomedicine agents in the whole body causes a low diagnosis signal-to-noise ratio and a potential risk of systemic toxicity. Recently, the development of smart nanomedicine agents with diagnosis and therapy functions that can only be activated by the tumor microenvironment (TME) is regarded as an effective strategy to improve the theranostic sensitivity and selectivity, as well as reduce the potential side effects during treatment. This article will introduce and summarize the latest achievements in the design and fabrication of TME-responsive smart nanomedicine agents, and highlight their prospects for enhancing tumor diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Design and construction of multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms are still desired for cancer-effective treatment. Herein, a kind of polypyrrole (PPy)-based multifunctional nanocomposite was designed and successfully constructed for dual-model imaging and enhanced synergistic phototherapy against cancer cells. Through graphene oxide (GO) sheet coating, PPy nanoparticles (NPs) were effectively combined with polyethylene glycol chains, Au NPs, and IR820 molecules. The obtained PGPAI NPs showed promising ability for photoacoustic/computed tomography imaging. Under near-infrared light irradiation, the PPy core and IR820 molecule effectively generated heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS), respectively. Furthermore, the loaded Au NPs owning catalase-like activity produced oxygen by decomposing H2O2 (up-regulated in tumor region), enhancing the oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy efficacy. The formed PGPAI NPs were also proved to own desirable photothermal conversion efficiency, photothermal stability, colloidal stability, cytocompatibility, and cellular internalization behaviors. Furthermore, cell assay demonstrated that PGPAI NPs displayed enhanced synergistic phototherapy efficacy against cancer cells. These developed multifunctional nanoplatforms are promising for effective cancer theranostic applications.

[PMID: 30775223 PMCID: PMC6364593 DOI: 10.1002/advs.201801122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 130] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2018] [Revised: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 04/14/2023]
Abstract
Mild photothermal therapy (PTT), as a new anticancer therapeutic strategy, faces big challenges of limited therapeutic accuracy and side-effects due to uneven heat distribution. Here, near infrared triggered nitric oxide (NO) release nanocomposites based on bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanoparticles and bis-N-nitroso compounds (BNN) are constructed for NO-enhanced mild photothermal therapy. Upon 808 nm irradiation, the high photothermal conversion efficiency and on-demand NO release are realized simultaneously. Due to the unique properties of NO, enhanced antitumor efficacy of mild PTT based on BNN-Bi2S3 nanocomposites is achieved in vitro and in vivo. Mechanism studies reveal that the exogenous NO from BNN-Bi2S3 could not only impair the autophagic self-repairing ability of tumor cells in situ, but also diffuse to the surrounding cells to enhance the therapeutic effect. This work points out a strategy to overcome the difficulties in mild PTT, and has potentials for further exploitation of NO-sensitized synergistic cancer therapy.
