Abstract
Ferric phosphate (FePOs) nanoenzymes can express peroxidase (POD) activity under the dual stimulation of an acidic environment and high H2O2 concentrations. In living organisms, this generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in sites of lesion infection, and thus FePOs nanoenzymes can act as antimicrobial agents. Here, CeO2 and ZnO2 were immobilized in a scallop-type FePOs nanoenzyme material loaded with a photosensitizer, indocyanine green, to synthesize a multifunctional cascade nanoparticle system (FePOs-CeO2-ZnO2-ICG, FCZI NPs). H2O2 concentrations could be adjusted through the ZnO2 self-activation response to the slightly acidic environment in biofilms, further promoting the release of ROS from the POD-like reaction of FePOs, achieving amplification of oxidative stress, DNA and cell membrane damage, and exploiting the photodynamic/photothermal effects of indocyanine green to enhance the antibiofilm effects. CeO2 can remove redundant ROS by switching from Ce4+ to Ce3+ valence, enhancing its ability to fight chronic inflammation and oxidative stress and thus promoting the regeneration of tissues around infection. By maintaining the redox balance of normal cells, increasing ROS at the infection site, eliminating redundant ROS, and protecting normal tissues from damage, the synthesized system maximizes the elimination of biofilms and treatment at the infection site. Therefore, this work may pave the way for the application of biocompatible nanoenzymes.

Abstract
Cervical cancer, as a common malignant tumor of the reproductive system, seriously threatens women's life and health, and is difficult to be cured by traditional treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Fortunately, tumor microenvironment (TME)-activated catalytic therapy with high efficiency and reduced off-target toxicity has emerged as a novel treatment model. Herein, we designed a "four-in-one" nanozyme and natural enzyme symbiotic system of Cu2-x Se-GOx for TME-triggered cascaded catalytic enhanced cancer treatment. In response to unique TME, Cu2-x Se with catalase activity could effectively catalyze over-expressed H2 O2 in cancer cells into O2 . Subsequently, the glucose oxidase (GOx) could deplete intracellular glucose with the assistance of O2 ; this not only achieves starvation therapy, but also regenerates H2 O2 to boost the generation of highly cytotoxic . OH due to the peroxidase activity of Cu2-x Se. Moreover, although the free-radical scavenger glutathione (GSH) is overexpressed in tumor cells, Cu2-x Se with glutathione oxidase activity could effectively consume GSH for enhanced ROS production. Thus, the "four-in-one" nanozyme@natural enzyme symbiotic system of Cu2-x Se-GOx could induce significant ROS accumulation at the tumor regions, thus providing a potential approach for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
As a promising non-invasive treatment method, phototherapy has attracted extensive attention in the field of combined cancer therapy. Among various optical agents, organic ones have been considered as a promising clinical phototheranostic agent due to its high safety and non-toxic property. In addition, due to the clear structure, facile processability, organic optical agents can be easily endowed with multiple imaging and phototherapeutic functions, significantly simplifying the relatively complex system of imaging-guided combined cancer therapy. This review summarizes the recent research on organic optical agents in imaging-guided combined cancer therapy. The application of organic optical agents in a variety of combined cancer therapeutic modes guided by imaging are introduced respectively, including photodynamic and photothermal combined therapy, phototherapy-combined cancer chemotherapy, and phototherapy-combined cancer immunotherapy. Finally, the concluding remarks and the future prospects are discussed.

Abstract
Abnormal tumor microenvironment (TME) facilitates tumor proliferation and metastasis and establishes physiological barriers for effective transport of therapeutics inside the tumor, posing great challenges for cancer treatment. We designed a core-satellite size transformable nanoframework (denoted as T-PFRT) that can synchronously adapt to and remold TME for augmenting photodynamic therapy to inhibit tumor growth and prevent tumor metastasis. Upon matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2)-responsive dissociation of the nanoframework in TME, the core structure loaded with TGFβ signaling pathway inhibitor and oxygen-carrying hemoglobin aims to stroma remodeling and hypoxia relief, allowing photosensitizer-encapsulated satellite particles to penetrate to deep-seated tumor for oxygen-fueled photodynamic therapy. T-PFRT could overcome the stroma and hypoxia barriers for delivering therapeutics and gain excellent therapeutic outcomes in the treatment of primary and metastatic tumors.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) technology can transform light energy into acoustic wave, which can be used for either imaging or therapy that depends on the power density of pulsed laser. Here, we report photosensitizer-free polymeric nanocapsules loaded with nitric oxide (NO) donors, namely NO-NCPs, formulated from NIR light-absorbable amphiphilic polymers and a NO-releasing donor, DETA NONOate. Controlled NO release and nanocapsule dissociation are achieved in acidic lysosomes of cancer cells. More importantly, upon pulsed laser irradiation, the PA cavitation can excite water to generate significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radical (O2 .- ), which further spontaneously reacts with the in situ released NO to burst highly cytotoxic peroxynitrite (ONOO- ) in cancer cells. The resultant ONOO- generation greatly promotes mitochondrial damage and DNA fragmentation to initiate programmed cancer cell death. Apart from PA imaging, PA cavitation can intrinsically amplify reactive species via photosensitization-free materials for promising disease theranostics.

Abstract
Modalities for photo-triggered anticancer therapy are usually limited by their low penetrative depth. Sonotheranostics especially sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which is different from photodynamic therapy (PDT) by the use of highly penetrating acoustic waves to activate a class of sound-responsive materials called sonosensitizers, has gained significant interest in recent years. The effect of SDT is closely related to the structural and physicochemical properties of the sonosensitizers, which has led to the development of new sound-activated materials as sonosensitizers for various biomedical applications. This Review provides a summary and discussion of the types of novel sonosensitizers developed in the last few years and outlines their specific designs and the potential challenges. The applications of sonosensitizers with various functions such as for imaging and drug delivery as well as in combination with other treatment modalities would provide new strategies for disease therapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising new approach for cancer treatment. However, clinically available drugs have been limited until recently, and the antitumor efficacy of most cancer immunotherapies still needs to be improved. Herein, we develop diselenide-pemetrexed assemblies that combine natural killer (NK) cell-based cancer immunotherapy with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in a single system. The assemblies are prepared by co-assembly between pemetrexed and cytosine-containing diselenide through hydrogen bonds. Under γ-radiation, the hydrogen bonds are cleaved, resulting in the release of pemetrexed. At the same time, diselenide can be oxidized to seleninic acid, which suppresses the expression of human leukocyte antigen E (HLA-E) in cancer cells, thus activating the immune response of NK cells. In this way, cancer immunotherapy is combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, providing a new strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Non-invasive tracking for monitoring the selective delivery and transplantation of biotargeted agents in vivo has been employed as one of the most effective tools in the field of nanomedicine. Different nanoprobes have been developed and applied to bioimaging tissues and the treatment of diseases ranging from inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases to cancer. Herein, we will review the recent advances in the development of optics-responsive nanomaterials, including organic and inorganic nanoparticles, for multimodal bioimaging and targeted therapy. The main focus is placed on nanoprobe fabrication, mechanistic illustrations, and diagnostic, or therapeutical applications. These nanomedicine strategies have promoted a better understanding of the biological events underlying diverse disease etiologies, thereby facilitating diagnosis, illness evaluation, therapeutic effect, and drug discovery.

Abstract
Noninvasive regulation of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is conducive to understanding of gene function and development of gene therapy; however, it remains challenging. Herein, a photolabile semiconducting polymer nanotransducer (pSPN) is synthesized to act as the gene vector to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids into cells and also as the photoregulator to remotely activate gene editing. pSPN comprises a 1 O2 -generating backbone grafted with polyethylenimine brushes through 1 O2 -cleavable linkers. NIR photoirradiation spontaneously triggers the cleavage of gene vectors from pSPN, resulting in the release of CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids and subsequently initiating gene editing. This system affords 15- and 1.8-fold enhancement in repaired gene expression relative to the nonirradiated controls in living cells and mice, respectively. As this approach does not require any specific modifications on biomolecular components, pSPN represents the first generic nanotransducer for in vivo regulation of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing.

Abstract
In this study, an organic semiconducting pro-nanostimulant (OSPS) with a near-infrared (NIR) photoactivatable immunotherapeutic action for synergetic cancer therapy is presented. OSPS comprises a semiconducting polymer nanoparticle (SPN) core and an immunostimulant conjugated through a singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) cleavable linkers. Upon NIR laser irradiation, OSPS generates both heat and 1 O2 to exert combinational phototherapy not only to ablate tumors but also to produce tumor-associated antigens. More importantly, NIR irradiation triggers the cleavage of 1 O2 -cleavable linkers, triggering the remote release of the immunostimulants from OSPS to modulate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Thus, the released tumor-associated antigens in conjunction with activated immunostimulants induce a synergistic antitumor immune response after OSPS-mediated phototherapy, resulting in the inhibited growth of both primary/distant tumors and lung metastasis in a mouse xenograft model, which is not observed for sole phototherapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising method for cancer treatment. Two parameters that influence the efficacy of PDT are the light source and oxygen supply. Herein, we prepared a system for PDT using hemoglobin (Hb)-linked conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs), which can luminesce and supply oxygen. Hb catalyzes the activation of luminol, the conjugated polymer poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) nanoparticles can absorb the chemiluminescence of luminol through chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) and then sensitize the oxygen supplied by Hb to produce reactive oxygen species that kill cancer cells. This system could be used for the controlled release of an anticancer prodrug. The system does not need an external light source and circumvents the insufficient level molecular oxygen under hypoxia. This work provides a proof-of-concept to explore smart and multifunctional nanoplatforms for phototherapy.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs), a kind of phototheranostic agent with the capability of simultaneous bioimaging and phototherapy [i.e., photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT)], have received considerable attention because of their remarkable properties, including flexibility for surface modification, high biocompatibility, low toxicity and photo-induced activity for malignant tumor cells. Among numerous carbon sources, it has been found that natural biomass are good candidates for the preparation of CD phototheranostic agents. In this study, pheophytin, a type of Mg-free chlorophyll derivative and also a natural product with low toxicity, was used as a raw carbon source for the synthesis of CDs by using a microwave method. The obtained hydrophobic CDs exhibited a maximum near-infrared (NIR) emission peak at approximately 680 nm, and high singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) generation with a quantum yield of 0.62. The self-assembled CDs from the as-prepared CDs with DSPE-mPEG2000 retained efficient 1 O2 generation. The obtained carbon dot assembly was not only an efficient fluorescence (FL) imaging agent but also a smart PDT agent. Our studies indicated that the obtained hydrophilic CD assembly holds great potential as a new phototheranostic agent for cancer therapy. This work provides a new route for synthesis of CDs and proposes a readily available candidate for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Bright long-wavelength-excitable semiconducting polymer dots (LWE-Pdots) are highly desirable for in vivo imaging and multiplexed in vitro bioassays. LWE-Pdots have been obtained by incorporating a near-infrared (NIR) emitter into the backbone of a polymer host to develop a binary donor-acceptor (D-A) system. However, they usually suffer from severe concentration quenching and a trade-off between fluorescence quantum yield (Φf ) and absorption cross-section (σ). Herein, we describe a ternary component (D1 /D2 -A) strategy to achieve ultrabright, green laser-excitable Pdots with narrow-band NIR emission by introducing a BODIPY-based assistant polymer donor as D1 . The D1 /D2 -A Pdots possess improved Φf and σ compared to corresponding binary D2 -A Pdots. Their Φf is as high as 40.2 %, one of the most efficient NIR Pdots reported. The D1 /D2 -A Pdots show ultrahigh single-particle brightness, 83-fold brighter than Qdot 705 when excited by a 532 nm laser. When injected into mice, higher contrast in vivo tumor imaging was achieved using the ternary Pdots versus the binary D-A Pdots.

Abstract
Photothermal effects (PTEs) have been greatly concerned with the fast development of new photothermal nanomaterials. Herein we propose a photothermal immunoassay (PTIA) by taking mycotoxins (AFB1) as an example based on the PTEs of plasmonic Cu2- xSe nanocrystals (NCs). By loading plasmonic Cu2- xSe NCs into liposomes to form photothermal soft nanoballs (ptSNBs), on which aptamer of AFB1 previously assembled, a sandwich structure of AFB1 could be formed with the aptamer on ptSNBs and capture antibody. The heat released from the ptSNBs under NIR irradiation, owing to the plasmonic photothermal light-to-heat conversion through photon-electron-phonon coupling, makes the temperature of substrate solution increased, and the increased temperature has a linear relationship with the AFB1 content. Owing to the large amounts of plasmonic Cu2- xSe NCs in the ptSNBs, the PTEs get amplified, making AFB1 higher than 1 ng/mL detectable in food even if with a rough homemade immunothermometer. The proposal of PTIA opens a new field of immunoassay including developing photothermal nanostructures, new thermometers, PTIA theory, and so on.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds great promise for cancer therapy; however, its efficacy is often compromised by tumor hypoxia. Herein, we report the synthesis of a semiconducting polymer nanoprodrug (SPNpd) that not only efficiently generates singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) under NIR photoirradiation but also specifically activates its chemotherapeutic action in hypoxic tumor microenvironment. SPNpd is self-assembled from a amphiphilic polymer brush, which comprises a light-responsive photodynamic backbone grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) and conjugated with a chemodrug through hypoxia-cleavable linkers. The well-defined and compact nanostructure of SPNpd (30 nm) enables accumulation in the tumor of living mice. Owing to these features, SPNpd exerts synergistic photodynamic and chemo-therapy, and effectively inhibits tumor growth in a xenograft tumor mouse model. This study represents the first hypoxia-activatable phototherapeutic polymeric prodrug system with a high potential for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window (1000-1700 nm) holds great promise for deep-tissue diagnosis due to the reduced light scattering and minimized tissue absorption; however, exploration of such a noninvasive imaging technique is greatly constrained by the lack of biodegradable NIR-II absorbing agents. Herein, the first series of metabolizable NIR-II PA agents are reported based on semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs). Such completely organic nanoagents consist of π-conjugated yet oxidizable optical polymer as PA generator and hydrolyzable amphiphilic polymer as particle matrix to provide water solubility. The obtained SPNs are readily degraded by myeloperoxidase and lipase abundant in phagocytes, transforming from nonfluorescent nanoparticles (30 nm) into NIR fluorescent ultrasmall metabolites (≈1 nm). As such, these nanoagents can be effectively cleared out via both hepatobiliary and renal excretions after systematic administration, leaving no toxicity to living mice. Particularly these nanoagents possess high photothermal conversion efficiencies and emit bright PA signals at 1064 nm, enabling sensitive NIR-II PA imaging of both subcutaneous tumor and deep brain vasculature through intact skull in living animals at a low systematic dosage. This study thus provides a generalized molecular design toward organic metabolizable semiconducting materials for biophotonic applications in NIR-II window.

Abstract
Phosphatases play an important role in cell biology, but only a few probes are suitable for selectively imaging phosphatase activity in live cells, because the current probes require cell fixation or exhibit considerable cytotoxicity. Herein, we show that conjugating a d-peptide to a quinazolinone derivative generates cell-compatible, biostable probes for imaging the phosphatase activity inside live cells. Moreover, our results show that inhibiting ectophosphatases is a critical factor for imaging intracellular phosphatases. As the first example of using selective inhibitors to ensure intracellular function of molecular probes, this work illustrates a facile approach to design molecular probes for profiling the activities of enzymes in a spatial, selective manner in a complicated environment.

Abstract
Tumor-specific phototheranostics is conducive to realizing precise cancer therapy. Herein, a novel tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive phototheranostic paradigm based on the combination of semiconducting polymer brushes and polyoxometalate clusters (SPB@POM) is rationally designed. The acidic TME could drive the self-assembly of SPB@POM into bigger aggregates for enhanced tumor retention and accumulation, while the reducing TME could significantly enhance the NIR absorption of SPB@POM for significant improvement of photoacoustic imaging contrast and photothermal therapy efficacy. Therefore, the smart pH/glutathione (GSH)-responsive SPB@POM allows for remarkable phototheranostic enhancement under the unique TME, which has potential for precise tumor-specific phototheranostics with minimal side effects.

Abstract
An organic semiconducting polymer nanobiocatalyst (SPNB) composed of a semiconducting polymer core conjugated with microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) has been developed for photoactivation of intracellular redox. The core serves as the light-harvesting unit to initiate photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and facilitate the regeneration of dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), while CYP is the catalytic center for intracellular redox. Under light irradiation, the semiconducting core can efficiently catalyze the generation of NADPH with a turnover frequency (TOF) 75 times higher than the reported nanosystems, ensuring the supply of the cofactor for intracellular redox. SPNB-mediated intracellular redox thus can be efficiently activated by light in living cells to convert the model substrate and also to trigger the bioactivation of anticancer drugs. This study provides an organic nanobiocatalytic system that allows light to remotely control intracellular redox in living systems.

Abstract
Biophotonics as an interdisciplinary frontier plays an increasingly important role in modern biomedical science. Optical agents are generally involved in biophotonics to interpret biomolecular events into readable optical signals for imaging and diagnosis or to convert photons into other forms of energy (such as heat, mechanical force, or chemical radicals) for therapeutic intervention and biological stimulation. Development of new optical agents including metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots, up-conversion nanoparticles, carbon dots, and silica nanoparticles has contributed to the advancement of this field. However, most of these agents have their own merits and demerits, making them less effective as multimodal biophotonic platforms. In this Account, we summarize our recent work on the development of near-infrared (NIR) semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) as multimodal light converters for advanced biophotonics. SPNs are composed of π-electron delocalized semiconducting polymers (SPs) and often possess the advantages of good biocompatibility, high photostability, and large absorption coefficients. Because the photophysical properties of SPNs are mainly determined by the molecular structures of the precursor polymers, molecular engineering allows us to fine tune their photophysical processes to obtain different optical responses, even to light in the second NIR window (1000-1700 nm). Meanwhile, the facile nanoformulation methods of SPNs enable alteration of their outer and inner structures for diverse biological interactions. The unique photophysical properties of SPNs have brought about ultrasensitive deep-tissue molecular imaging. NIR-absorbing SPNs with strong charge-transfer backbones can convert photoenergy into mechanical acoustic waves, permitting photoacoustic imaging that bypasses the issue of light scattering and reaches the centimeter tissue penetration depth. Differently, phenylenevinylene-containing SPNs can store photon energy via chemical defects and emit long-NIR afterglow luminescence with a half-life of ∼6 min after cessation of light excitation. Such an afterglow process avoids tissue autofluorescence, giving rise to ultrahigh signal-to-background ratios. So far, SPN-based molecular photoacoustic or afterglow probes have been developed to image disease tissues (tumors), biomarkers (biothiols and reactive oxygen species), and physiological indexes (pH and temperature) in different preclinical animal models. The synthetic flexibility of SPNs further permits light-modulated biological and therapeutic interventions. Till now, SPNs with high photothermal conversion efficiencies have been shaped into photothermal transducers to remotely regulate biological events including protein ion channels, enzymatic activity, and gene expression. In conjunction with the desired biodistribution and tumor-homing ability, SPNs have been doped or coated with other inorganic agents for amplified photothermal or self-regulated photodynamic cancer therapy. This Account thus demonstrates that SPNs serve as a multimodal biophotonic nanoplatform to provide unprecedented opportunities for molecular imaging, noninvasive bioactivation, and advanced therapy.

Abstract
Intrinsically integrating precise diagnosis, effective therapy, and self-anti-inflammatory action into a single nanoparticle is attractive for tumor treatment and future clinical application, but still remains a great challenge. In this study, bovine serum albumin-iridium oxide nanoparticles (BSA-IrO2 NPs) with extraordinary photothermal conversion efficiency, good photocatalytic activity, and a high X-ray absorption coefficient were prepared through one-step biomineralization. The nanoparticles allow tumor phototherapy and simultaneous photoacoustic/thermal imaging and computed tomography. More importantly, BSA-IrO2 NPs can also act as a catalase to protect normal cells against H2 O2 -induced reactive oxygen pressure and inflammation while significantly enhancing photoacoustic imaging through microbubble-based inertial cavitation. These remarkable features may open up the exploration iridium-based nanomaterials in theranostics.
