Abstract
All-DNA nanomedicines have emerged as potential anti-tumor drugs. DNA nanotechnology provides all-DNA nanomedicines with unlimited possibilities in controlling the diversification of size, shape, and loads of the therapeutic motifs. As DNA is a biological polymer, it is possible to genetically encode and produce the all-DNA nanomedicines in living bacteria. Herein, DNA-dendrimer-based nanomedicines are designed to adapt to the biological production, which is constructed by the flexible 3-arm building blocks to enable a highly efficient one-pot DNA assembly. For the first time, a DNA nanomedicine, D4-3-As-DzSur, is successfully genetically encoded, biotechnologically produced, and directly self-assembled. The performance of the biologically produced D4-3-As-DzSur in targeted gene regulation has been confirmed by in vitro and in vivo studies. The biological production capability will fulfill the low-cost and large-scale production of all-DNA nanomedicines and promote clinical applications.

Abstract
Nucleic acid-based functional nanomaterials (NAFN) have been widely used as emerging drug delivery nanocarriers for cancer therapeutics. Considerable works have demonstrated that NAFN can effectively load and protect therapeutic agents, and particularly enable targeting delivery to the tumor site and stimuli-responsive release. These outstanding performances are due to NAFN's unique properties including inherent biological functions and sequence programmability as well as biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this Review, the recent progress on NAFN as advanced cancer therapeutics is highlighted. Three main cancer therapy approaches are categorized including chemo-, immuno-, and gene-therapy. Examples are presented to show how NAFN are rationally and exquisitely designed to address problems in cancer therapy. The challenges and future development of NAFN are also discussed toward future more practical biomedical applications.

Abstract
Chemo-photothermal therapy has become a promising tool for clinical noninvasive tumor therapy, which is able to efficiently avoid drug resistance and other side effects from chemical anticarcinogenic drugs. The ability to selectively fast-heat tumor tissues over surrounding compartments is of fundamental importance and makes effective treatment of tumor margins and complex tumor geometries. Currently existing chemo-photothermal methods mainly show slow light-to-heat conversion with increased temperature up to around 45-57 °C for 5-20 min or a longer time in vitro under regular near-infrared laser irradiation, and during tumor therapy, worse performance in temperature changes are obtained due to the much longer penetration distance in vivo. Herein, nanoarchitectonics with excellent chemo-photothermal performance are first proposed for tumors via in situ decoration of nanogold flowers on graphene oxide surface with further modification of the aptamer molecule. Even with simple synthesis processes, these nanoarchitectonics demonstrate impressive increased temperatures up to 85 °C in just 2 min under 808 nm laser irradiation with regular power density. Due to the fast light-to-heat conversion ability and specific binding effect between the aptamer and tumor cells, the designed nanocarrier shows a rapid and target therapy system with a targeted chemo-photothermal tumor treatment.

Versatile in situ synthesis of MnO 2 nanolayers on upconversion nanoparticles and their application in activatable fluorescence and MRI imaging. Chem Sci 2018; 9:5427-5434.

Abstract
We have developed a simple and versatile strategy for in situ growth of MnO2 on the surfaces of oleic acid-capped hydrophobic upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) by optimizing the component concentrations in the Lemieux-von Rudloff reagent. The oxidation time was shortened by a factor of two compared to that of the reported method. This oxidation process has no obvious adverse effects on the phases of UCNPs. STEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) characterization demonstrated the successful growth of MnO2 on the surfaces of UCNPs. Furthermore, when the weight ratio of MnO2/UCNPs reached (147.61 ± 17.63) μg mg-1, 50% of the initial upconversion luminescence of UCNPs was quenched, as revealed by fluorescence and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) results. The presence of the surface MnO2 precipitate not only confers high dispersity of UCNPs in water, but also allows further activatable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorescence multimodal imaging after reduction to Mn2+ by intracellular glutathione (GSH). A novel targeted drug carrier nanosystem was prepared to protect MnO2 from early decomposition in blood circulation by coating with mesoporous silica and capping with a gelatin nanolayer. Aptamer sgc8 was then attached to the surface of the gelatin nanolayer by covalent crosslinking to achieve targeted drug delivery. The results suggest that this nanosystem shows promise for further applications in cancer cell imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Uniform hydrophobic nanoparticles synthesized in nonpolar solvents possess excellent physio-chemical properties, showing great potential in biomedical applications. However, the presence of hydrophobic ligands on their surfaces limits their use under physiological conditions. Inspired by protein coronas present at the nano-bio interface, here we report a facile and universal method for phase transfer and surface bioengineering of hydrophobic nanoparticles using β-sheet-rich silk fibroin, a FDA-approved natural protein. Due to its amphiphilicity and high mechanical stiffness, the β-sheet-rich silk fibroin not only readily drags nanoparticles from an organic phase into aqueous media but also endows them with excellent monodispersity and long-term stability. The silk fibroin-coated nanoparticles can retain the magnetic and optical properties of the original nanoparticles, acting effectively as probes for biomedical imaging and biosensing. Furthermore, hydrophobic drugs can be easily adsorbed onto the protein coating via hydrophobic interaction, allowing the construction of promising theranostic nanoagents. Given these unique features, the strategy developed here possesses great promise in facilitating biomedical applications of hydrophobic nanomaterials.

Abstract
The assembly sequence of the coordination cluster [Zn5 (H2 L(n) )6 ](NO3 )4 ]⋅8 H2 O⋅2 CH3 OH (Zn5 , H3 L(n) =(1,2-bis(benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-ethenol) involves in situ dehydration of 1,2-bis(benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1,2-ethanediol (H4 L) through the formation of the [Zn(H3 L)2 ](+) monomer, dimerization to [Zn2 (H3 L)2 ](+) , dehydration of the ligand to [Zn2 (H2 L(n) )2 ](+) , and the final formation of the pentanuclear cluster. The cluster has the following special characteristics: 1) high stability in both refluxing 37 % HCl and 27 % NH3 , 2) low cytotoxicity, and 3) pH-sensitive fluorescence in the visible-to-near-infrared (Vis/NIR) region in the solid state and in solution. We have applied it as a fluorescent probe both in vivo and in vitro. Its H-bonding ability is the key to its affinity and selectivity for imaging lysosomes in HeLa cells and tumors in male BALB/C mice. It provides a new type of sensitive and biocompatible fluorescent probe for detecting small tumors (13.5 mm(3) ).

Abstract
Cancer treatment using conventional drug delivery platforms may lead to fatal damage to normal cells. Among various intelligent delivery platforms, photoresponsive delivery platforms are becoming popular, as light can be easily focused and tuned in terms of power intensity, wavelength, and irradiation time, allowing remote and precise control over therapeutic payload release both spatially and temporally. This unprecedented controlled delivery manner is important to improve therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects. However, most of the existing photoactive delivery platforms require UV/visible excitation to initiate their function, which suffers from phototoxicity and low level of tissue penetration limiting their practical applications in biomedicine. With the advanced optical property of converting near infrared (NIR) excitation to localized UV/visible emission, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have emerged as a promising photoactive delivery platform that provides practical applications for remote spatially and temporally controlled release of therapeutic payload molecules using low phototoxic and high tissue penetration NIR light as the excitation source. This article reviews the state-of-the-art design, synthesis and therapeutic molecular payload encapsulation strategies of UCNP-based photoactive delivery platforms for cancer therapy. Challenges and promises for engineering of advanced delivery platforms are also highlighted.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an emerging clinically approved modality, has been used for treatment of various cancer diseases. Conventional PDT strategies are mainly focused on superficial lesions because the wavelength of illumination light of most clinically approved photosensitizers (PSs) is located in the UV/VIS range that possesses limited tissue penetration ability, leading to ineffective therapeutic response for deep-seated tumors. The combination of PDT and nanotechnology is becoming a promising approach to fight against deep tumors. Here, the rapid development of new PDT modalities based on various smartly designed nanocomposites integrating with conventionally used PSs for deep tumor treatments is introduced. Until now many types of multifunctional nanoparticles have been studied, and according to the source of excitation energy they can be classified into three major groups: near infrared (NIR) light excited nanomaterials, X-ray excited scintillating/afterglow nanoparticles, and internal light emission excited nanocarriers. The in vitro and in vivo applications of these newly developed PDT modalities are further summarized here, which highlights their potential use as promising nano-agents for deep tumor therapy.

Abstract
Aptamers are emerging as promising therapeutic agents and recognition elements. In particular, cell-SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) allows in vitro selection of aptamers selective to whole cells without prior knowledge of the molecular signatures on the cell surface. The advantage of aptamers is their high affinitiy and binding specificity towards the target. This Minireview focuses on single-stranded (ss) oligonucleotide (DNA or RNA)-based aptamers as cancer therapeutics/theranostics. Specifically, aptamer-nanomaterial conjugates, aptamer-drug conjugates, targeted phototherapy and targeted biotherapy are covered in detail. In reviewing the literature, the potential of aptamers as delivery systems for therapeutic and imaging applications in cancer is clear, however, major challenges remain to be resolved, such as the poorly understood pharmacokinetics, toxicity and off-target effects, before they can be fully exploited in a clinical setting.
