J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 670:499-508. [PMID: 38776685 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.067] [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: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Manganese oxide nanoparticles (MONs)-based contrast agents have attracted increasing attention for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), attributed to their good biocompatibility and advantageous paramagnetism. However, conventional MONs have poor imaging performance due to low T1 relaxivity. Additionally, their lack of tumor-targeting theranostics capabilities and complex synthesis pathways have impeded clinical applications. Rutin (Ru) is an ideal tumor-targeted ligand that targets glucose transporters (GLUTs) overexpressed in various malignant tumors, and exhibits photothermal effects upon chelation with metal ions. Herein, a series of Ru-coated MONs (Ru/MnO2) were synthesized using a straightforward, rapid one-step process. Specifically, Ru/MnO2-5, with the smallest crystal size of approximately 4 nm, exhibits the highest T1 relaxivity (33.3 mM-1s-1 at 1.5 T, surpassing prior MONs) along with notable stability, photothermal efficacy, and tumor-targeting ability. Furthermore, Ru/MnO2-5 shows promise in MRI and photothermal therapy of H22 tumors owing to its superior GLUTs-mediated tumor-targeting capability.

Abstract
Manganese is an attractive element for sustainable solutions. It is largely available in the earth's crust, making it ideal for cost-effective and large-scale applications. Especially MnO nanoparticles have recently received attention for applications in battery technology. However, manganese has many oxidation states that are energetically very similar, indicating that they may easily transform from one to the other. Herein, the reversible oxidation of MnO nanoparticles to Mn3 O4 studied with in situ transmission electron microscopy is shown. The oxygen sublattices of MnO and Mn3 O4 are found to be perfectly aligned, and an atomic mechanism where the transformation is facilitated by the migration of Mn cations on the shared O sublattice is proposed. Even when protected with an amorphous carbon layer, MnO particles are highly unstable and oxidize to Mn3 O4 in ethanol. The poor stability of MnO lacks discussion in many battery-related works, and strategies aimed at avoiding this should be developed.

Abstract
Reducible metal oxide nanozymes (rNZs) are a subject of intense recent interest due to their catalytic nature, ease of synthesis, and complex surface character. Such materials contain surface sites which facilitate enzyme-mimetic reactions via substrate coordination and redox cycling. Further, these surface reactive sites are shown to be highly sensitive to stresses within the nanomaterial lattice, the physicochemical environment, and to processing conditions occurring as part of their syntheses. When administered in vivo, a complex protein corona binds to the surface, redefining its biological identity and subsequent interactions within the biological system. Catalytic activities of rNZs each deliver a differing impact on protein corona formation, its composition, and in turn, their recognition, and internalization by host cells. Improving the understanding of the precise principles that dominate rNZ surface-biomolecule adsorption raises the question of whether designer rNZs can be engineered to prevent corona formation, or indeed to produce "custom" protein coronas applied either in vitro, and preadministration, or formed immediately upon their exposure to body fluids. Here, fundamental surface chemistry processes and their implications in rNZ material performance are considered. In particular, material structures which inform component adsorption from the application environment, including substrates for enzyme-mimetic reactions are discussed.

Abstract
Measurement of pH in living cells is a great and decisive factor for providing an early and accurate diagnosis factor. Along with this, the multimodal transverse and longitudinal relaxivity enhancement potentiality over single modality within a single platform in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) field is a very challenging issue for diagnostic purposes in the biomedical field of application. Therefore, this work aims to design a versatile platform by fabricating a novel nanoprobe through holmium- and manganese-ion doping in carbon quantum dots (Ho-Mn-CQDs), which can show nearly neutral intracellular pH sensing and MRI imaging at the same time. These manufactured Ho-Mn-CQDs acted as excellent pH sensors in the near-neutral range (4.01-8.01) with the linearity between 6.01 and 8.01, which could be useful for the intracellular pH-sensing capability. An innumerable number of carboxyl and amino groups are present on the surface of the prepared nanoprobe, making it an excellent candidate for pH sensing through fluorescence intensity quenching phenomena. Cellular uptake and cell viability experiments were also executed to affirm the intracellular accepting ability of Ho-Mn-CQDs. Furthermore, with this pH-sensing quality, these Ho-Mn-CQDs are also capable of acting as T1-T2 dual modal imaging contrast agents in comparison with pristine Ho-doped and Mn-doped CQDs. The Ho-Mn-CQDs showed an increment of r1 and r2 relaxivity values simultaneously compared with only the negative contrast agent, holmium in holmium-doped CQDs, and the positive contrast agent, manganese in manganese-doped CQDs. The above-mentioned observations elucidate that its tiny size, excitation dependence of fluorescence behavior, low cytotoxicity, and dual modal contrast imaging capability make it an ideal candidate for pH monitoring in the near-neutral range and also as a dual modal MRI imaging contrast enhancement nanoprobe at the same time.

Abstract
In the past few years, manganese-based nanostructures have been extensively investigated in the biomedical field particularly to design highly biocompatible theranostics, which can not only act as efficient diagnostic imaging contrast agents but also deliver the drugs to the target sites. The nanoscale size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, availability of cheap precursors, flexibility to synthesize nanostructures with reproducible properties and high yield, and easy scale up are the major reasons for the attraction towards manganese nanostructures. Along with these properties, the nontoxic nature, pH-sensitive degradation, and easy surface functionalization are additional benefits for the use of manganese nanostructures in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Therefore, in this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the synthesis of manganese nanostructures, describe the attempts made to modify their surfaces to impart biocompatibility and stability in biological fluids, and critically discuss their use in magnetic resonance imaging, drug and gene delivery, hyperthermia, photothermal/photodynamic, immunotherapy, biosensing and tumor diagnosis.

Abstract
The deposition time was controlled to prepare Mn nanowires of different lengths and diameters on templates of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) with different pore sizes. The surface of as-prepared Mn nanowires was modified with SiO2 using the sol-gel method to improve their dispersion in aqueous solution. The effects of the diameter and length of the as-prepared Mn nanowires coated with SiO2 on the relaxivity were investigated. It was found that the Mn@SiO2 nanowires have smaller diameters and a higher longitudinal relaxivity (r1) with an increased length. Mn3@SiO2 nanowires had the highest r1 value of 5.8 mM-1 s-1 among the Mn@SiO2 nanowires (Mn3 nanowires have a diameter of about 30 nm and a length of about 0.5 μm length). Additionally, the biocompatibility and in vivo imaging ability of the Mn3@SiO2 nanowires were evaluated. The Mn3@SiO2 nanowires had good cytotoxicity and biocompatibility, and the kidney of SD rats showed a positive enhancement effect during small animal imaging at 1.5 T. This study showed that the Mn3@SiO2 nanowires could potentially become contrast agents (CAs) of longitudinal relaxation time (T1).

Abstract
MXenes have garnered research attention in the field of biomedical applications due to their unique properties, such as a large surface area, low toxicity, biocompatibility, and stability. Their optical behavior makes them versatile for a wide range of biomedical applications, from diagnostics to therapeutics. Nonetheless, MXenes have some minor limitations, including issues with restacking, susceptibility to oxidation, and a non-semiconducting nature. These limitations have prompted researchers to explore the incorporation of metal oxides into MXene structures. Metal oxides possess advantageous properties such as a high surface area, biocompatibility, intriguing redox behavior, catalytic activity, semiconducting properties, and enhanced stability. Incorporating metal oxides into MXenes can significantly improve their conductivity, surface area, and mechanical strength. In this review, we emphasize the importance of incorporating metal oxides into MXenes for light-influenced biomedical applications. We also provide insights into various preparation methods for incorporating metal oxides into MXene structures. Furthermore, we discuss how the incorporation of metal oxides enhances the optical behavior of MXenes. Finally, we offer a glimpse into the future potential of metal oxide-incorporated MXenes for diverse biomedical applications.

Abstract
Due to the health risks associated with the use of Gd-chelates and the promising effects of using nanoparticles as T1 contrast agents (CAs) for MRI, Mn-based nanoparticles are considered a highly competitive alternative. The use of hybrid constructs with paramagnetic functionality of Mn-based nanoparticles is an effective approach, in particular, the use of biocompatible lipid liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LLCNPs) as a carrier of MnO nanoparticles. LLCNPs possess a unique internal structure ensuring a payload of different polarity MnO nanoparticles. In view of MRI application, the surface properties including the polarity of MnO are crucial factors determining their relaxation rate and thus the MRI efficiency. Two novel hybrid constructs consisting of LLCNPs loaded with hydrophobic MnO-oleate and hydrophilic MnO-DMSA NPs were prepared. These nanosystems were studied in terms of their physico-chemical properties, positive T1 contrast enhancement properties (in vitro and in vivo) and biological safety. LLCNPs@MnO-oleate and LLCNPs@MnO-DMSA hybrids exhibited a heterogeneous phase composition, however with differences in the inner periodic arrangement and structural parameters, as well as in the preferable localization of MnO NPs within the LLCNPs. Also, these hybrids differed in terms of particle size-related parameters and colloidal stability, which was found to be strongly dependent on the addition of differently functionalized MnO NPs. Embedding both types of MnO NPs into LLCNPs resulted in high relaxivity parameters, in comparison to bare MnO-DMSA NPs and also commercially developed CAs (e.g. Dotarem and Teslascan). Further biosafety studies revealed that cell internalization pathways were dependent on the prepared hybrid type, while viability, effects on the mitochondria membrane potential and cytoskeletal networks were rather related to the susceptibility of the particular cell line. The high relaxation rates achieved with the developed hybrid LLCNPs@MnO enable them to be possibly used as novel and biologically safe MRI T1-enhancing CAs in in vivo imaging.

Abstract
Investigating magnetic phenomena at the microscopic level has emerged as an indispensable research domain in the field of low-dimensional magnetic materials. Understanding quantum phenomena that mediate the magnetic interactions in dimensionally confined materials is crucial from the perspective of designing cheaper, compact, and energy-efficient next-generation spintronic devices. The infrequent occurrence of intrinsic long-range magnetic order in dimensionally confined materials hinders the advancement of this domain. Hence, introducing and controlling the ferromagnetic character in two-dimensional materials is important for further prospective studies. The interface in a heterostructure significantly contributes to modulating its collective magnetic properties. Quantum phenomena occurring at the interface of engineered heterostructures can enhance or suppress magnetization of the system and introduce magnetic character to a native non-magnetic system. Considering most 2D magnetic materials are used as stacks with other materials in nanoscale devices, the methods to control the magnetism in a heterostructure and understanding the corresponding mechanism are crucial for promising spintronic and other functional applications. This review highlights the effect of electric polarization of the adjacent layer, changed structural configuration at the vicinity of the interface, natural strain induced by lattice mismatch, and exchange interaction in the interfacial region in modulating the magnetism of heterostructures of van der Waals and non-van der Waals materials. Further, prospects of interface-engineered magnetism in spin-dependent device applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Nano-catalytic bacterial killing provides new opportunities to address ever-increasing antibiotic resistance. However, the intrinsic catalytic activity usually depends on a much lower pH conditions (pH = 2-5) than that in the weakly acidic bacterial microenvironments (pH = 6-7) for reactive oxygen species production by Fenton reactions. Herein, a MnSiO3 -based pH-ultrasensitive "in situ structure transformation" is first reported to significantly promote the adhesion between material and bacteria, and shorten the diffusion distance (<20 nm) to compensate ultra-short life (<200 ns) of ·OH generated by Mn2+ -mediated Fenton-like reaction, finally enhancing its nano-catalytic antibacterial performance in weakly acidic conditions. A separated spray bottle is further designed to achieve in situ gelation at the wound site, which demonstrates excellent shape adaptability to complicated and rough surfaces of wounds, allowing for long-term nano-catalyst release. As a result, bacterial-infected wound healing is efficiently promoted. Herein, the in situ sprayed nano-catalytic antibacterial gel presents a promising paradigm for bacterial infection treatment.

Abstract
Metal graphitic nanocapsules have the advantages of both graphitic and metal nanomaterials, showing great promise in biomedicine. On one hand, the chemically inert graphitic shells are able to protect the metal core from external environments, quench the fluorescence signal from the biological system, offer robust platform for targeted molecules or drugs loading, and act as stable Raman labels or internal standard molecule. On the other hand, the metal cores with different compositions, sizes, and morphologies show unique physicochemical properties, and further broaden their biomedical functions. In this review, we firstly introduce the preparation, classification, and properties of metal graphitic nanocapsules, then summarize the recent progress of their applications in biodetection, bioimaging, and therapy. Challenges and their development prospects in biomedicine are eventually discussed in detail. We expect the versatile metal graphitic nanocapsules will advance the development of future clinical biomedicine.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have achieved significant clinical success but are still suffering from inadequate immune activation. It is worth noting that manganese as a nutritional inorganic trace element is closely associated with immune activation to fight against tumor growth and metastasis via the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway. Herein, we designed hollow mesoporous silica-coated MnO nanoparticles (NPs), followed by conjugation of tumor homing peptide iRGD (CRGDKGPD). The obtained NPs (MnO@mSiO2-iRGD NPs) were applied to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided tumor immune-chemodynamic combination therapy, in which MnO NPs can be harnessed for cGAS-STING pathway-activated immunotherapy, Fenton-like reaction-induced reactive oxygen species upregulation, and T1-weighted MRI. The rough surface and large cavities of the mSiO2 shell promote cellular uptake and MnO NPs delivery. Meanwhile, it was found that MnO@mSiO2-iRGD NPs would dissociate under an acid environment, resulting in tumor specificity of MRI and exogenous Mn2+ release. Our results revealed that these pH-responsive biodegradable MnO@mSiO2-iRGD NPs synergized with α-PD-1 (PD-1 = programmed cell death-1) blocking antibody to highly elicit cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration and restrict melanoma progression and metastasis, which were envisioned as a promising candidate for tumor theranostics.

Synthesis of manganese-incorporated polycaplactone-poly (glyceryl methacrylate) theranostic smart hybrid polymersomes for efficient colon adenocarcinoma treatment. Int J Pharm 2022; 623:121963.

Abstract
In the current study, a multifunctional nanoscale vesicular system (polymersome) with the ability to accumulate in the site of action, control drug release and integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functions was developed. The theranostic polymersome was engineered as a promising dual-functional nanoplatform, which can be used for tumor therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this regard, the amphiphilic diblock copolymer of poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(glyceryl methacrylate)[(PCL-b-PGMA)] was synthesized by combined ring-opening polymerization (ROP), and reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization techniques followed by hydrolysis of the pendant oxiran rings to hydroxyl groups. Because of the amphiphilic properties and desirable hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance of the synthesized copolymer, it could self-assemble to form a polymersomal structure in an aqueous environment (with diameters about 100 - 145 nm). The hydrophilic anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX) and hydrophobic paramagnetic Mn (phenanthroline)2 complex, being well-represented on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were encapsulated in the hydrophilic core (33%±2.3 efficiency) and hydrophobic bilayer membrane (100 %efficient) of a polymersome system, respectively to provide PCL-PGMA@Mn(phen)2/DOX NPs. It was found that adding aptamer AS1411 to NPs surfaces enhanced their specificity and selectivity towards colorectal cancer cells expressing nucleolin (HT29 and C26). In vivo evaluation after intravenous administration of the prepared platform was performed using subcutaneous C26 tumor-bearing Balb/C mice. The obtained results demonstrated that the prepared targeted platform provided a reduced systemic toxicity in terms of body weight loss and mortality while showing efficient tumor regression. Furthermore, the prepared theranostic platform afforded MRI imaging capability for tumor monitoring. It could be concluded that the biocompatible PCL-PGMA magnetic DOX-loaded polymersomes could serve as a versatile multifunctional system for simultaneous tumor imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has excellent potential in the clinical monitoring of tumors because it can provide high-resolution soft tissue imaging. However, commercial contrast agents (CAs) used in MRI still have some problems such as potential toxicity to the human body, low relaxivity, and a short MRI acquisition window. In this study, ultrasmall MnSe nanoparticles are synthesized by living Staphylococcus aureus cells. The as-prepared MnSe nanoparticles are monodispersed with a uniform particle size (3.50 ± 0.52 nm). Due to the ultrasmall particle size and good water solubility, the MnSe nanoparticles exhibit in vitro high longitudinal relaxivity properties (14.12 ± 1.85 mM-1·s-1). The CCK-8 colorimetric assay, histological analysis, and body weight results show that the MnSe nanoparticles do not have appreciable toxicity on cells and organisms. Besides, the MnSe nanoparticles as T1-MRI CAs offer a long MRI acquisition window to tumor imaging (∼7 h). This work provides a promising T1-MRI CA for clinical tumor imaging and a good reference for the application of functional MnSe nanoparticles in the biomedicine field.

Abstract
The lack of acid stability in the stomach and of temporal stability when moving through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract has made the development of oral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents based on the platform of Gd3+ -complexes problematic.On the other hand, the negative contrast enhancement produced by the T2 -weighted magnetic metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) often renders the image readout difficult. Biocompatible NPs of the manganese Prussian blue analog K2 Mn3 [FeII (CN)6 ]2 exhibit extremely high stability under the acidic conditions of the gastric juice. Additionally, the high r1 relaxivity, low toxicity, and high temporal stability of such NPs offer great potential for the development of a true T1 -weighted oral contrast agent for MRI of the entire GI tract.

Abstract
We describe here a method to synthesize ultrasmall nanocapsules with a diameter of 6 nm, exhibiting a well-defined core-shell morphology. Remarkably, the nanocapules are synthesized in a miniemulsion process without the need of large amounts of surfactant as commonly used in the microemulsion process. Ultrasmall nanocapsules with an oil core and a silica shell are formed by the concurrent processes of a sol-gel reaction and Ostwald ripening. Using solvents with different water solubilities and alkoxysilanes with different reactivities, we demonstrate that sizes of obtained nanocapsules depend on the ripening rate and alkoxysilane conversion rate. The method can be also used for encapsulating natural oils such as peppermint oil and limonene. This work shows that the Ostwald ripening phenomenon can be employed beneficially for the preparation of very small colloids.

Abstract
Gadolinium (Gd)-containing chelates have been established as diagnostics tools. However, extensive use in magnetic resonance imaging has led to increased Gd levels in industrialized parts of the world, adding to natural occurrence and causing environmental and health concerns. A vast amount of data shows that metal may accumulate in the human body and its deposition has been detected in organs such as brain and liver. Moreover, the disease nephrogenic systemic fibrosis has been linked to increased Gd3+ levels. Investigation of Gd3+ effects at the cellular and molecular levels mostly revolves around calcium-dependent proteins, since Gd3+ competes with calcium due to their similar size; other reports focus on interaction of Gd3+ with nucleic acids and carbohydrates. However, little is known about Gd3+ effects on membranes; yet some results suggest that Gd3+ interacts strongly with biologically-relevant lipids (e.g., brain membrane constituents) and causes serious structural changes including enhanced membrane rigidity and propensity for lipid fusion and aggregation at much lower concentrations than other ions, both toxic and essential. This review surveys the impact of the anthropogenic use of Gd emphasizing health risks and discussing debilitating effects of Gd3+ on cell membrane organization that may lead to deleterious health consequences.

Abstract
Recently, Mn(II)-based T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) have been explored widely for cancer diagnosis. However, the "always-on" properties and poor excretability of the conventional Mn(II)-based CAs leads to high background signals and unsatisfactory clearance from the body. Here, we report an "in situ three-dimensional to two-dimensional (3D-to-2D) transformation" method to prepare novel excretable 2D manganese-based layered silicates (Mn-LSNs) with extremely high signal-to-noise for tumor-specific MR imaging for the first time. Our observations combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that 3D metal (Mn, Fe, Co) oxide nanoparticles are initially formed from the molecular precursor solution and then in situ transform into 2D metal (Mn, Fe, Co)-based layered silicates triggered by the addition of tetraethyl orthosilicate, which provides a time-saving and versatile way to prepare novel 2D silicate nanomaterials. The unique ion-exchangeable capacity and high host layer charge density endow Mn-LSNs with an "ON/OFF" pH/GSH stimuli-activatable T1 relaxivity with superb high signal-to-noise (640-, 1200-fold for slightly acidic and reductive changes, respectively). Further in vivo MR imaging reveals that Mn-LSNs exhibit a continuously rapid T1-MRI signal enhancement in tumor tissue and no visible signal enhancement in normal tissue, indicating an excellent tumor-specific imaging. In addition, Mn-LSNs exhibit a rapid excretion from the mouse body in 24 h and invisible organ toxicity, which could help to solve the critical intractable degradation issue of conventional inorganic CAs. Moreover, the tumor microenvironment (pH/GSH/H2O2) specific degradability of Mn-LSNs could help to improve the penetration depth of particles into the tumor parenchyma. Developing this novel Mn-LSNs contrast agent, together with the already demonstrated capacity of layered silicates for drug and gene delivery, provides opportunities for future cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Gadolinium (Gd)-based chelates are used as clinical T1 contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to their demonstrated high sensitivity and positive contrast enhancement capability. However, there has been an increasing safety concern about their use in medicine because of the toxicity of the metal ions released from these contrast agents when used in vivo. Although significant effort has been made in developing metal-free MRI contrast agents, none have matched the magnetic properties achieved by the gold standard clinical contrast agent, Gd diethylene penta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA). Here, we report the development of a single-layer, boron-doped graphene quantum dot (termed SL-BGQD) that demonstrates better T1 contrast enhancement than Gd-DTPA. The SL-BGQD is shown to provide significantly higher positive contrast enhancement than the Gd-DTPA contrast agent in imaging vital organs, including kidneys, liver, and spleen, and especially, vasculatures. Further, our results show that the SL-BQGD is able to bypass the blood-brain barrier and allows sustained imaging for at least one hour with a single injection. Hematological and histopathological analyses show that the SL-BGQD demonstrates a non-toxic profile in wild-type mice and may, therefore, serve as an improved, safer alternative to currently available clinical MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like properties. They can specifically catalyze substrates of natural enzymes under physiological condition with similar catalytic mechanism and kinetics. Compared to natural enzymes, nanozymes exhibit the unique advantages including high catalytic activity, low cost, high stability, easy mass production, and tunable activity. In addition, as a new type of artificial enzymes, nanozymes not only have the enzyme-like catalytic activity, but also exhibit the unique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials, such as photothermal properties, superparamagnetism, and fluorescence, etc. By combining the unique physicochemical properties and enzyme-like catalytic activities, nanozymes have been widely developed for in vitro detection and in vivo disease monitoring and treatment. Here we mainly summarized the applications of nanozymes for disease imaging and detection to explore their potential application in disease diagnosis and precision medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a disease which involves the abnormal cell growth that has the potential of dispersal to other parts of the body. Among various conventional anatomical imaging techniques for cancer diagnosis, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides the best spatial resolution and is noninvasive. Current efforts are directed at enhancing the capabilities of MRI in oncology by adding contrast agents. DISCUSSION Recently, the superior properties of nanomaterials (extremely smaller in size, good biocompatibility and ease in chemical modification) allow its application as a contrast agent for early and specific cancer detection through the MRI. The precise detection of cancer region from any imaging modality will lead to a thriving treatment for cancer patients. The better localization of radiation dose can be attained from MRI by using suitable image processing algorithms. As there are many works that have been proposed for automatic detection for cancers, the effort is also put in to provide an effective survey of Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system for different types of cancer detection with increased efficiency based on recent research works. Even though there are many surveys on MRI contrast agents, they only focused on a particular type of cancer. This study deeply presents the use of nanocontrast agents in MRI for different types of cancer diagnosis. CONCLUSION The main aim of this paper is to critically review the available compounds used as nanocontrast agents in MRI modality for different types of cancers. It also includes the review of different methods for cancer cell detection and classification. A comparative analysis is performed to analyze the effect of different CAD systems.

Abstract
This review contributes towards a systematic understanding of the mechanism of shape-dependent effects on nanoparticles (NPs) for elaborating and predicting their properties and applications based on the past two decades of research. Recently, the significance of shape-dependent physical chemistry and biomedicine has drawn ever increasing attention. While there has been a great deal of effort to utilize NPs with different morphologies in these fields, so far research studies are largely localized in particular materials, synthetic methods, or biomedical applications, and have ignored the interactional and interdependent relationships of these areas. This review is a comprehensive description of the NP shapes from theory, synthesis, property to application. We figure out the roles that shape plays in the properties of different kinds of nanomaterials together with physicochemical and biomedical applications. Through systematic elaboration of these shape-dependent impacts, better utilization of nanomaterials with diverse morphologies would be realized and definite strategies would be expected for breakthroughs in these fields. In addition, we have proposed some critical challenges and open problems that need to be addressed in nanotechnology.

Abstract
Multimodal probes are an asset for simplified, improved medical imaging. In particular, fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are sought-after combined capabilities. Here, we show that pyrrolidin-2-one-capped manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnOpyrr NPs) combine MRI with fluorescence microscopy to function as efficient bifunctional bio-nanoprobes. We employ a one-pot synthesis for ca. 10 nm MnO NPs, wherein manganese(II) 2,4-pentadionate is thermally decomposed using pyrrolidin-2-one as a solvent and capping ligand. The MnOpyrr NPs are soluble in water without any further postsynthetic modifications. The r1 relaxivity and r2 /r1 ratio indicate that these NPs are potential T1 MRI contrast agents at clinical (3 T) and ultrahigh (9.4 T) magnetic fields. Serendipitously, the as-prepared NPs are photoluminescent. The unexpected luminescence is ascribed to the modification of the pyrrolidin-2-one during the thermal treatment. MnOpyrr NPs are successfully used to enable fluorescence microscopy of HeLa cells, demonstrating bifunctional imaging capabilities. A low cytotoxic response in two distinct cell types (HeLa, HepG2) supports the suitability of MnOpyrr NPs for biological imaging applications.

Abstract
A simple and efficient method to synthesize highly water-dispersible calcium lignosulfonate-coated manganese oxide nanoparticles as a potential candidate for the current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1 contrast agents was reported. Hydrophobic MnO nanoparticles with dimensions of about 10 nm were prepared by thermal decomposition of manganese(ii)acetylacetonate in the presence of oleic acid as a surfactant. The characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles, cytotoxicity assay and in vitro MRI properties were investigated in detail. Results showed that calcium lignosulfonate has a great influence on the colloidal stability and biocompatibility of MnO nanoparticles in water. Furthermore, this coating agent ensures abundant exposure of external Mn ion with protons of water, which endows the nanoparticles with a longitudinal molar relaxivity (r1) of 4.62 mM−1 s−1. An efficient contrast enhancement effect was observed in the study of MRI investigations.

Abstract
Manganese-based nanostructured contrast agents (CAs) entered the field of medical diagnosis through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) some years ago. Although some of these Mn-based CAs behave as classic T1 contrast enhancers in the same way as clinical Gd-based molecules do, a new type of Mn nanomaterials have been developed to improve MRI sensitivity and potentially gather new functional information from tissues by using traditional T1 contrast enhanced MRI. These nanomaterials have been designed to respond to biological environments, mainly to pH and redox potential variations. In many cases, the differences in signal generation in these responsive Mn-based nanostructures come from intrinsic changes in the magnetic properties of Mn cations depending on their oxidation state. In other cases, no changes in the nature of Mn take place, but rather the nanomaterial as a whole responds to the change in the environment through different mechanisms, including changes in integrity and hydration state. This review focusses on the chemistry and MR performance of these responsive Mn-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Thanks to recent advances in the synthesis of high-quality inorganic nanoparticles, more and more types of nanoparticles are becoming available for medical applications. Especially, metal oxide nanoparticles have drawn much attention due to their unique physicochemical properties and relatively inexpensive production costs. To further promote the development and clinical translation of these nanoparticle-based agents, however, it is highly desirable to reduce unwanted interbatch variations of the nanoparticles because characterizing and refining each batch are costly, take a lot of effort, and, thus, are not productive. Large-scale synthesis is a straightforward and economic pathway to minimize this issue. Here, the recent achievements in the large-scale synthesis of uniform-sized metal oxide nanoparticles and their biomedical applications are summarized, with a focus on nanoparticles of transition metal oxides and lanthanide oxides, and clarifying the underlying mechanism for the synthesis of uniform-sized nanoparticles. Surface modification steps to endow hydrophobic nanoparticles with water dispersibility and biocompatibility are also briefly described. Finally, various medical applications of metal oxide nanoparticles, such as bioimaging, drug delivery, and therapy, are presented.

Abstract
Keratin is a family of cysteine-rich structural fibrous proteins abundantly present in skin and skin appendages. Inspired by the template synthesis strategy, in this work, keratin was utilized for the first time as a platform template to synthesize metallic oxide nanoparticles, such as MnO2 (MnNPs@Keratin) and Gd2O3 (GdNPs@Keratin), in a simple and environment-benign fashion. These nanoparticles possess good colloid stability and biocompatibility, high T1 relaxivity ( r1 value = 6.8 mM-1s-1 for MnNPs@Keratin and 7.8 mM-1s-1 for GdNPs@Keratin), and superior in vivo magnetic resonance imaging performance of tumor. Moreover, these keratin-templated nanoparticles have great potential as drug carriers with the capacity of redox-responsive drug release due to the existence of disulfide cross-linking in keratin coating. These results suggest that keratin can be a promising platform template for the development of metal-based nanoparticles for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is a widespread and life-threatening disease and its early-stage diagnosis is vital. One of the most effective, non-invasive tools in medical diagnostics is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the aid of contrast agents. Contrast agents that are currently in clinical use contain metals, causing some restrictions in their use. Also, these contrast agents are mainly non-specific without any tissue targeting capabilities. Subsequently, the interest has notably increased in the research of organic, metal-free contrast agents. This study presents a new, stable organic radical, TEEPO-Met, where a radical moiety 2,2,6,6-tetraethylpiperidinoxide (TEEPO) is attached to an amino acid, methionine (Met), as a potentially tumour-targeting moiety. We describe the synthesis, stability assessment with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and relaxation enhancement abilities by an in vitro nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and phantom MRI studies of TEEPO-Met. The new compound proved to be stable notably longer than the average imaging time in conditions mimicking a biological matrix. Also, it significantly reduced the relaxation times of water, making it a promising candidate as a novel tumour targeting contrast agent for MRI.

Abstract
Development of sensitive contrast agents for positive magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of biosystems still remains a great challenge. Herein, we report a facile process to construct hybrid alginate (AG) nanogels (NGs) loaded with manganese oxide (Mn3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) for enhanced tumor MR imaging. The obtained AG/PEI-Mn3O4 NGs with a mean size of 141.6 nm display excellent colloidal stability in aqueous solution and good cytocompatibility in the studied concentration range. Moreover, the hybrid NGs have a high r1 relaxivity of 26.12 mM-1 s-1, which is about 19.5 times higher than that of PEI-Mn3O4 NPs with PEI surface amine acetylated (PEI.Ac-Mn3O4 NPs). Furthermore, the AG/PEI-Mn3O4 NGs presented longer blood circulation time and better tumor MR imaging performances in vivo than PEI.Ac-Mn3O4 NPs. With the good biosafety confirmed by histological examinations, the developed AG/PEI-Mn3O4 NGs may be potentially used as an efficient contrast agent for enhanced MR imaging of different biosystems.

Abstract
Manganese-based nanomaterials are an emerging new class of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) that provide impressive contrast abilities. MRI CAs that can respond to pathophysiological parameters such as pH or redox potential are also highly in demand for MRI-guided tumor diagnosis. Until now, synthesizing nanomaterials with good biocompatibility, physiochemical stability, and good contrast effects remains a challenge. This study investigated two new systems of calcium/manganese cations complexed with either alginate-polydopamine or alginate-dopamine nanogels [AlgPDA(Ca/Mn) NG or AlgDA(Ca/Mn) NG]. Under such systems, Ca cations form ionic interactions via carboxylic acids of the Alg backbone to enhance the stability of the synthetic nanogels (NGs). Likewise, complexation of Mn cations also increased the colloidal stability of the synthetic NGs. The magnetic property of the prepared CAs was confirmed with superconducting quantum interference device measurements, proving the potential paramagnetic property. Hence, the T1 relaxivity measurement showed that PDA-complexed synthetic NGs reveal a strong positive contrast enhancement with r1 = 12.54 mM-1·s-1 in 7.0 T MRI images, whereas DA-complexed synthetic NGs showed a relatively lower T1 relaxivity effect with r1 = 10.13 mM-1·s-1. In addition, both the synthetic NGs exhibit negligible cytotoxicity with >92% cell viability up to 0.25 mM concentration, when incubated with the mouse macrophage (RAW 264.7) and HeLa cells, and high biocompatibility under in vivo analysis. The in vivo MRI test indicates that the synthetic NG exhibits a high signal-to-noise ratio for longer hours, which provides a longer image acquisition time for tumor and anatomical imaging. Furthermore, T1-weighted MRI results revealed that PEGylated AlgPDA(Ca/Mn) NGs significantly enhanced the signals from liver and tumor tissues. Therefore, owing to the enhanced permeability and retention effect, significantly enhanced in vitro and in vivo imagings, low cost, and one-pot synthesis method, the Mn-based biomimetic approach used in this study provides a promising and competitive alternative for noninvasive tumor detection and comprehensive anatomical diagnosis.

Abstract
The development of responsive magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents opens the door to a highly sensitive and specific diagnosis of altered physiological conditions. In this field, manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) is starting to be a leading contributor due to its susceptibility to conditions relevant to human diseased states, such as cancer. So far, the preclinical application of MnO2 has mainly been in the form of nanosheets, with enhancements of magnetic resonance imaging signals up to 50-fold upon activation. Herein, we thoroughly investigate, through a simple reaction, a series of Mnx Oy samples and correlate their phase composition and structure/morphology to the performance as classic/responsive MRI contrast agents in response to redox changes. Signal enhancements as high as 140-fold were obtained from MnO2 nano-urchins, and their capability as responsive magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents was demonstrated in vitro.

Abstract
Highly dispersed Fe3+-doped layered double hydroxide (LDH-Fe) nanorings were obtained by a simple coprecipitation-acid etching approach. The morphology, structure, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performance in vitro, drug loading and releasing, Fe3+ leakage, and cytotoxicity of the as-prepared LDH-Fe nanorings were characterized. The LDH-Fe nanorings showed good water dispersity and a well-crystallized structure. The DLS average size of nanoparticles was measured to be 94.5 nm. Moreover, the MRI tests showed a favourable T₁-weighted MRI performance of the LDH-Fe nanoring with r₁ values of 0.54 and 1.68, and low r₂/r₁ ratios of 10.1 and 6.3, pre- and after calcination, respectively. The nanoparticles also showed high model drug (ibuprofen) loading capacities, low Fe3+ leakage, and negligible cytotoxicity. All these results demonstrate the potential of LDH-Fe nanorings as an imageable drug delivery system.

Abstract
Nanoscale ternary chalcogenides have attracted intense research interest due to their wealth of tunable properties and diverse applications in energy and environmental and biomedical fields. In this article, ultrasmall magnetic CuFeSe2 ternary nanocrystals (<5.0 nm) were fabricated in the presence of thiol-functionalized poly(methacrylic acid) by an environmentally friendly aqueous method under ambient conditions. The small band gap and the existence of intermediate bands lead to a broad NIR absorbance in the range of 500-1100 nm and high photothermal conversion efficiency (82%) of CuFeSe2 nanocrystals. The resultant CuFeSe2 nanocrystals show superparamagnetism and effective attenuation for X-rays. In addition, they also exhibit excellent water solubility, colloidal stability, biocompatibility, and multifunctional groups. These properties enable them to be an ideal nanotheranostic agent for multimodal imaging [e.g., photoacoustic imaging (PAI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) imaging] guided photothermal therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
The acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), which mainly results from the high glycolytic rate of tumor cells, has been characterized as a hallmark of solid tumors and found to be a pivotal factor participating in tumor progression. Recently, due to the increasing understanding of the acidic TME, it has been shown that the acidic TME could be utilized as a multifaceted target during the design of various pH-responsive nanoscale theranostic platforms for the precise diagnosis and effective treatment of cancers. In this article, we will give a focused overview on the latest progress in utilizing this characteristic acidic TME as the target of nano-theranostics to enable cancer-specific imaging and therapy. The future perspectives in the development of acidic TME-targeting nanomedicine strategies will be discussed afterwards.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is implicated in the aetiology of many diseases. Despite numerous studies, a painless, fast and direct method for the in situ detection of H. pylori remains a challenge, mainly due to the strong acidic/enzymatic environment of the gastric mucosa. Herein, we report the use of stable magnetic graphitic nanocapsules (MGNs), for in situ targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of H. pylori. Several layers of graphene as the shell effectively protect the magnetic core from corrosion while retaining the superior contrast effect for MRI in the gastric environment. Boronic-polyethylene glycol molecules were synthesized and modified on the MGN surface for targeted MRI detection. In a mouse model of H. pylori-induced infection, H. pylori was specifically detected through both T2-weighted MR imaging and Raman gastric mucosa imaging using functionalized MGNs. These results indicated that enhancement of MRI using MGNs may be a promising diagnostic and bioimaging platform for very harsh conditions.
