Abstract
A DNA structure-based nanoreactor has emerged as a promising biomaterial for antitumor therapy with its intrinsic biodegradability, biocompatibility, and tunable multifunctionality. Herein, the intelligent DNA nanohydrogel was reported to target cancer cells, control the size, be pH-responsive, and be loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx). Two kinds of X-shaped DNA monomers and DNA linkers were assembled to form a DNA nanohydrogel by hybridization. GOx was successfully encapsulated in the DNA nanohydrogel. The DNA linker was designed with i-motif sequences and modified with ferrocene (Fc). The i-motif-like quadruplex structures were formed in acidic tumor microenvironments, resulting in the disassembly of the DNA nanohydrogel to release GOx. The GOx could oxidize the intratumoral glucose to produce gluconic acid and H2O2. The generated H2O2 was catalyzed by Fc to induce toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which could effectively kill cancer cells. Both the in vitro and the in vivo results demonstrated that the multifunctional DNA nanohydrogel had high-efficiency tumor suppression through combined chemodynamic and starvation cancer therapies.

Abstract
As low-molecular-weight hydrogelators, dipeptide hydrogel materials are suited for embedding multiple organic molecules and inorganic nanoparticles. Herein, a simple but precisely controllable method is presented that enables the fabrication of dipeptide-based hydrogels by supramolecular assembly inside microfluidic channels. Water-soluble quantum dots (QDs) as well as premixed porphyrins and a dipeptide in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were injected into a Y-shaped microfluidic junction. At the DMSO/water interface, the confined fabrication of a dipeptide-based hydrogel was initiated. Thereafter, the as-formed hydrogel flowed along a meandering microchannel in a continuous fashion, gradually completing gelation and QD entrapment. In contrast to hydrogelation in conventional test tubes, microfluidically controlled hydrogelation led to a tailored dipeptide hydrogel regarding material morphology and nanoparticle distribution.

Abstract
To stress the role of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as a drug carrier, an efficient conjugation strategy in which chemotherapeutics can be grafted onto a phosphorothiolated DNA backbone through the reaction between the phosphorothioate group (PS) and a benzyl bromide group is proposed. As a proof of concept, benzyl-bromide-modified paclitaxel (PTX) is employed to graft onto the DNA backbone at the PS modification sites. Due to the easy preparation of phosphorothiolated DNA at any desired position during its solid-phase synthesis, diblock DNA strands containing both normal phosphodiester segment (PO DNA) and phosphorothiolate segment (PS DNA) are directly grafted with a multitude of PTXs without using complicated and exogenous linkers. Then, the resulting amphiphilic PO DNA-blocked-(PS DNA-grafted PTX) conjugates (PO DNA-b-(PS DNA-g-PTX)) assemble into PTX-loaded spherical nucleic acid (SNA)-like micellar nanoparticles (PTX-SNAs) with a high drug loading ratio up to ≈53%. Importantly, the PO DNA segment maintains its molecular recognition property and biological functions, which allows the as-prepared PTX-SNAs to be further functionalized with tumor-targeting aptamers, fluorescent probe strands, or antisense sequences. These multifunctional PTX-SNAs demonstrate active tumor-targeting delivery, efficient inhibition of tumor growth, and the reversal of drug resistance both in vitro and in vivo for comprehensive antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Spherical nucleic acid (SNA) constructs are promising new single entity materials, which possess significant advantages in biological applications. Current SNA-based drug delivery system typically employed single-layered ss- or ds-DNA as the drug carriers, resulting in limited drug payload capacity and disease treatment. To advance corresponding applications, we developed a novel DNA-programmed polymeric SNA, a long concatamer DNA polymer that is uniformly distributed on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), by self-assembling from two short alternating DNA building blocks upon initiation of immobilized capture probes on AuNPs, through a supersandwich hybridization reaction. The long DNA concatamer of polymeric SNA enables to allow high-capacity loading of bioimaging and therapeutics agents. We demonstrated that both of the fluorescence signals and therapeutic efficacy were effectively inhibited in resultant polymeric SNA. By further modifying with the nucleolin-targeting aptamer AS1411, this polymeric SNA could be specifically internalized into the tumor cells through nucleolin-mediated endocytosis and then interact with endogenous ATP to cause the release of therapeutics agents from long DNA concatamer via a structure switching, leading to the activation of the fluorescence and selective synergistic chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy. This nanostructure can afford a promising targeted drug transport platform for activatable cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals with distinct characteristics of high brightness, large Stokes shift and broad absorption spectra, large molar extinction coefficients, high quantum yield, good photostability and long fluorescence lifetime. The QDs have replaced the conventional fluorophores with wide applications in immunoassays, microarrays, fluorescence imaging, targeted drug delivery and therapy. The integration of QDs with various nanomaterials such as noble metal nanoparticles, carbon allotropes, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), metal oxides and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) brings new opportunities and possibilities in nanoscience and nanotechnology. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the integration of QDs with various nanomaterials for biomedical and environmental applications including sensing, bioimaging, theranostics and cancer therapy. We highlight the involved interactions such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), plasmon enhanced fluorescence (PEF), and nanometal surface energy transfer (NSET) as well as the synergistic effect resulting from the integration of QDs with nanomaterials. In addition, we discuss the sensing and imaging mechanisms of different strategies and give new insight into the challenges and future direction as well.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is considered as the most lethal cancer, due to the inability of chemotherapeutic agents to reach the glioma core as well as the infiltration zone of the invasive glioma cells. Nanotechnology based delivery systems bring new hope to cancer targeted therapy and diagnosis owing to their enhancement of selective cellular uptake and cytotoxicity to cancer cells through various smart designs. We prepared a novel selenium-based composite nanosystem (QDs/Se@Ru(A)) surface functionalized with the AS1411 aptamer and loaded with quantum dots to realize selectivity against glioblastoma and enhance theranostic effects. This cancer targeted nanosystem significantly enhanced the cellular uptake in glioma cells through nucleolin mediated endocytosis, and increased selectivity between cancer and normal cells. The QDs/Se@Ru(A) nanosystem can also be used for spontaneous fluorescence of biological probes to explore their localization in cancer cells, because of the green fluorescent quantum dots loaded into the selenium nanoparticles. QDs/Se@Ru(A) promotes excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in glioma cells to induce DNA damage, thus activating diverse downstream signaling pathways, and inhibiting proliferation of U87 cells through the G2/M phase cycle. Thus, this study provides an effective strategy to design a theranostic agent to simultaneously realize cell imaging and therapy for glioblastoma treatment.

Abstract
Persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) show great potential in realizing precision imaging due to the absence of in situ excitation and no background interference. However, the current PLNP-based tumour imaging is usually achieved by single targeting or passive targeting strategies, and thus it lacks high specificity and affinity for efficient persistent luminescence imaging in vivo. Herein we report the bioconjugation of multiple targeting ligands on the surface of PLNPs for dual-targeted bioimaging to improve the specificity and affinity of the PLNP nanoprobe for in vitro and in vivo bioimaging. The PLNPs were prepared by co-doping CrIII and BIII into ZnGa2O4via a hydrothermal-calcination method. While CrIII doped ZnGa2O4 PLNPs possess excellent near-infrared luminescence along with long afterglow and red light renewable near-infrared luminescence, doping of BIII into the PLNPs further improves the persistent luminescence. Conjugation of two targeting ligands, hyaluronic acid and folic acid, which have specificity toward the cluster determinant 44 receptor and folic acid receptor in tumour cells, respectively, provides synergistic targeting effects to enhance the specificity and affinity toward tumour cells. This work provides a dual-targeting strategy for fabricating PLNP-based nanoprobes to realize precision tumour-targeted bioimaging.

Abstract
The expression level of tumor-related mRNA can reveal significant information about tumor progression and prognosis, so specific mRNA in cells provides an important approach for biological and disease studies. Here, fluorescence lifetime imaging of nanoflares in living cells was first employed to detect specific intracellular mRNA. We characterized the lifetime changes of the prepared nanoflares before and after the treatment of target mRNA and also compared the results with those of fluorescence intensity-based measurements both intracellularly and extracellularly. The nanoflares released the cy5-modified oligonucleotides and bound to the targets, resulting in a fluorescence lifetime lengthening. This work puts forward another dimension of detecting specific mRNA in cells and can also open new ways for detection of many other biomolecules.

Abstract
Biomineralized fluorescent metal nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest in many fields by virtue of their excellent properties in synthesis and application. Poly(thymine)-templated fluorescent copper nanoparticles (T-CuNPs) as a promising nanomaterial has been exploited by us recently and displays great potential for signal transducing in biochemical analysis. However, the application of T-CuNPs is rare and still at an early stage. Here, a new fluorescent analytical strategy has been developed for H2O2 and oxidase-based biosensing by exploiting T-CuNPs as an effective signal indicator. The mechanism is mainly based on the poly(thymine) length-dependent formation of T-CuNPs and the probe's oxidative cleavage. In this assay, the probe T40 can effectively template the formation of T-CuNPs by a fast in situ manner in the absence of H2O2, with high fluorescent signal, while the probe is cleaved into short-oligonucleotide fragments by hydroxyl radical (·OH) which is formed from the Fenton reaction in the presence of H2O2, leading to the decline of fluorescence intensity. By taking advantage of H2O2 as a mediator, this strategy is further exploited for oxidase-based biosensing. As the proof-of-concept, glucose in human serum has been chosen as the model system and has been detected, and its practical applicability has been investigated by assay of real clinical blood samples. Results demonstrate that the proposed strategy has not only good detection capability but also eminent detection performance, such as simplicity and low-cost, holding great potential for constructing effective sensors for biochemical and clinical applications.
