Abstract
Borophene-based van der Waals heterostructures have demonstrated enormous potential in the realm of optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices, which has sparked a wide range of interest. However, a thorough understanding of the microscopic excited-state electronic dynamics at interfaces is lacking, which is essential for determining the macroscopic optoelectronic and photovoltaic performance of borophene-based devices. In this study, photoexcited carrier dynamics of β12 , χ3 , and α΄ borophene/MoS2 heterostructures are systematically studied based on time-domain nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations. Different Schottky contacts are found in borophene/semiconductor heterostructures. The interplay between Schottky barriers, electronic coupling, and the involvement of different phonon modes collectively contribute to the unique carrier dynamics in borophene-based heterostructures. The diverse borophene allotropes within the heterostructures exhibit distinct and selective carrier transfer behaviors on an ultrafast timescale: electrons tunnel into α΄ borophene with an ultrafast transfer rate (≈29 fs) in α΄/MoS2 heterostructures, whereas β12 borophene only allows holes to migrate with a lifetime of 176 fs. The feature enables efficient charge separation and offers promising avenues for applications in optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. This study provides insight into the interfacial carrier dynamics in borophene-based heterostructures, which is helpful in further design of advanced 2D boron-based optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices.

Case report: Long-term follow-up of a large full-thickness skin defect treated with a photosynthetic scaffold for dermal regeneration. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:1004155.

Abstract
It is broadly described that almost every step of the regeneration process requires proper levels of oxygen supply; however, due to the vascular disruption in wounds, oxygen availability is reduced, being detrimental to the regeneration process. Therefore, the development of novel biomaterials combined with improved clinical procedures to promote wound oxygenation is an active field of research in regenerative medicine. This case report derives from a cohort of patients enrolled in a previously published ongoing phase I clinical trial (NCT03960164), to assess safety of photosynthetic scaffolds for the treatment of full skin defects. Here, we present a 56 year old patient, with a scar contracture in the cubital fossa, which impaired the elbow extension significantly affecting her quality of life. As part of the treatment, the scar contracture was removed, and the full-thickness wound generated was surgically covered with a photosynthetic scaffold for dermal regeneration, which was illuminated to promote local oxygen production. Then, in a second procedure, an autograft was implanted on top of the scaffold and the patient’s progress was followed for up to 17 months. Successful outcome of the whole procedure was measured as improvement in functionality, clinical appearance, and self-perception of the treated area. This case report underscores the long-term safety and applicability of photosynthetic scaffolds for dermal regeneration and their stable compatibility with other surgical procedures such as autograft application. Moreover, this report also shows the ability to further improve the clinical outcome of this procedure by means of dermal vacuum massage therapy and, more importantly, shows an overall long-term improvement in patient´s quality of life, supporting the translation of photosynthetic therapies into human patients.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective method for superficial cancer treatment. However, the limited light intensity in tissues, tumor hypoxia, and the low accumulation efficiency of photosensitizers (PSs) in tumors are still major challenges. Herein, we introduce super light-sensitive PS nanoparticles (designated HR NPs) that can increase singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) production and improve PS accumulation in tumors. HR NPs have the ability to produce a large amount of 1 O2 under ultralow power density light (0.05 mW cm-2 ) irradiation. More significantly, HR NPs have a long circulating time in tumor-bearing mice and can accumulate in tumors with high efficiency. When irradiated by light with a suitable wavelength, the nanoparticles exhibit excellent antitumor efficacy. This work will make it possible to cure solid tumors by PDT by enhancing the therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has received increasing interest in cancer treatment, but its clinical application is still constrained by the low activity of sonosensitizers and their unclear mechanism. Herein, a kind of oxygen-deficient manganese oxide (MnOx) nanoparticles with greatly enhanced sonodynamic activity and good biocompatibility is developed as an advanced sonosensitizer. The introduced oxygen defects can remarkably enhance the electrical conductivity of manganese oxide (MnO) nanoparticles and serve as charge trapping sites to prohibit the electron-hole pair recombination upon ultrasound (US) irradiation. Such distinct merits promote the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), making MnOx as a decent sonosensitizer for SDT, and thus endowing MnOx with higher ROS production under US irradiation. As a demonstration, the MnOx nanoparticles decorated by 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (MnOx-DSPE-PEG), a biocompatible coverage to enhance the dispersion ability, achieve a superior tumor killing efficiency of 96%, substantially higher than the MnO-DSPE-PEG counterpart (9%). Our experimental results also reveal that MnOx-DSPE-PEG nanoparticles induce the death of tumor cells by targeting polyunsaturated fatty acids in their membrane with US-triggered ROS. Furthermore, the as-designed sonosensitizers exhibit negligible toxicity toward the treated mice.

Abstract
To realize the potential to use micro/nanorobots for targeted cancer therapy, it is important to improve their biocompatibility and targeting ability. Here, we report on drug-loaded magnetic microrobots capable of polarizing macrophages into the antitumor phenotype to target and inhibit cancer cells. In vitro tests demonstrated that the microrobots have good biocompatibility with normal cells and immune cells. Positively charged DOX was loaded onto the surface of microrobots via electrostatic interactions and exhibited pH-responsive release behavior. The nano-smooth surfaces of the microrobots activated M1 polarization of macrophages, thus activating their intrinsic targeting and antitumor abilities toward cancer cells. Through dual targeting from magnetic guidance and M1 macrophages, the microrobots were able to target and kill cancer cells in a 3D tumor spheroid culture assay. These findings demonstrate a way to improve the tumor-targeting and antitumor abilities of microrobots through the combined use of magnetic control, macrophages, and pH-responsive drug release.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active luminogens (AIEgens) have demonstrated exciting potential for the application in cancer phototheranostics. However, simultaneously achieving tumor-activated bright emission, enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, high tumor accumulation, and minimized ROS depletion remains challenging. Here, a metal-organic framework (MOF) hybrid AIEgen theranostic platform is designed, termed A-NUiO@DCDA@ZIF-Cu, composed of an AIEgen-loaded hydrophobic UiO-66 (A-NUiO@DCDA) core and a Cu-doped hydrophilic ZIF-8 (ZIF-Cu) shell. The fluorescence emission and therapeutic ROS activity of AIEgens are restrained during delivery. After uptake by tumor tissues, ZIF-Cu decomposition occurs in response to an acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), and the hydrophobic A-NUiO@DCDA cores self-assemble into large particles, extremely increasing the tumor accumulation of AIEgens. This results in enhanced fluorescence imaging (FLI) and highly improved 1O2 generation ability during photodynamic therapy (PDT). Meanwhile, the released Cu2+ reacts to glutathione (GSH) to generate Cu+, which provides an extra chemodynamic therapy (CDT) function through Fenton-like reactions with overexpressed H2O2, resulting in the GSH depletion-enhanced ROS therapy. As a result of these characteristics, the MOF hybrid AIEgens can selectively kill tumors with excellent efficacy.

Abstract
Oxygen is the key molecule for aerobic metabolism, but no animal cells can produce it, creating an extreme dependency on external supply. In contrast, microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms, therefore, they are able to produce oxygen as plant cells do. As hypoxia is one of the main issues in organ transplantation, especially during preservation, the main goal of this work was to develop the first generation of perfusable photosynthetic solutions, exploring its feasibility for ex vivo organ preservation. Here, the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was incorporated in a standard preservation solution, and key aspects such as alterations in cell size, oxygen production and survival were studied. Osmolarity and rheological features of the photosynthetic solution were comparable to human blood. In terms of functionality, the photosynthetic solution proved to be not harmful and to provide sufficient oxygen to support the metabolic requirement of zebrafish larvae and rat kidney slices. Thereafter, isolated porcine kidneys were perfused, and microalgae reached all renal vasculature, without inducing damage. After perfusion and flushing, no signs of tissue damage were detected, and recovered microalgae survived the process. Altogether, this work proposes the use of photosynthetic microorganisms as vascular oxygen factories to generate and deliver oxygen in isolated organs, representing a novel and promising strategy for organ preservation.

Abstract
Tumor oxygenation level has been regarded as an attractive target to elevate the efficiency of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Cyanobacterial photosynthesis-mediated reversal of tumor hypoxia could enable an oxygen-boosted PDT, but is limited by scant penetration depth and efficiency of external light. Herein, aiming at the dual purposes of reducing biological toxicity induced by long-term light irradiation and alleviating hypoxia, we here introduce a novel-designed CaAl2O4:Eu,Nd blue persistent luminescence material (PLM) as the in vivo light source after pre-excited in vitro. The ingenious construction of blue-emitting PLM with “optical battery” characteristics activates cyanobacterial cells and verteporfin simultaneously, which performs the successive oxygen supply and singlet oxygen generation without the long-term external excitation, resulting in the modulated tumor hypoxic microenvironment and enhanced photodynamic tumor proliferation inhibition efficiency. Both in vitro cellular assessment and in vivo tumor evaluation results affirm the advantages of self-produced oxygen PDT system and evidence the notable antineoplastic outcome. This work develops an irradiation-free photosynthetic bacteria-based PDT platform for the optimization of both oxygen production capacity and light utilization efficiency in cancer treatment, which is expected to promote the clinical progress of microbial-based photonic therapy. Construction of CaAl2O4:Eu,Nd PLM to generate 1O2 without the aid of exogenous light excitation. Cyanobacteria with light-triggered oxygenation effect were employed for the normalization of tumor microenvironment. A distinct exogenous “irradiation-free” cyanobacteria-based PDT platform was rationally engineered.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxia is a typical characteristic of tumor microenvironment (TME), which seriously compromises the therapeutic effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT). The development of nanozymes with oxygen-generation ability is a promising strategy to overcome the oxygen-dependent of PDT but remained a great challenge. Herein, a dual-nanozymes based cascade reactor HAMF is proposed to alleviate tumor hypoxia for enhanced PDT. The hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) are constructed as an excellent nanocarrier to load ultra-small gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) shell via in situ reduction method, and further coordination with an efficient photosensitizer 4-DCF-MPYM (4-FM), a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) fluorescein derivative. With the response to TME, MnO2 can catalyze endogenous H2 O2 into O2 and subsequently accelerating glucose oxidation by Au NPs to produce additional H2 O2 , which is reversely used as the substrate for MnO2 -catalyzed reaction, thereby constantly producing singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) for enhanced PDT upon light irradiation. This work proposed a cascade reactor based on dual-nanozyme to relieve tumor hypoxia for effective tumor suppression, which may enrich the application of multi-nanozymes in biomedicine.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxia severely limits the therapeutic effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Although many methods for oxygen generation exist, substantial safety concerns, spatiotenporal uncontrollability, limited efficacy, and complicated procedures have compromised their practical application. Here, we demonstrate a biocompatiable all-in-one organic semiconductor to provide a photoxidation catalysis mechanism of action. A facile method is developed to produce gram-level C5 N2 nanoparticles (NPs)-based organic semiconductor. Under 650 nm laser irradiation, the semiconductor split water to generate O2 and simultaneously produce singlet oxygen (1 O2 ), showing that the photocatalyst for O2 evolution and the photosensitizer (PS) for 1 O2 generation could be synchronously achieved in one organic semiconductor. The inherent nucleus targeting capacity endows it with direct and efficient DNA photocleavage. These findings pave the way for developing organic semiconductor-based cancer therapeutic agents.

Abstract
In this study, phthalocianato[bis(dimethylaminoethanoxy)] silicon (NzPC) was loaded onto gelatin nanoparticles functionalized with polyelectrolytes (polystyrene sulfonate/polyallylamine hydrochloride) by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly for photodynamic therapy (PDT) application in promastigote form of Leishmania amazonensis treatment. The process yield, and encapsulation efficiency were 80.0% ± 1.8 and EE = 87.0% ± 1.1, respectively. The polyelectrolytic gelatin nanoparticles (PGN) had a mean diameter of 437.4 ± 72.85 nm, narrow distribution size with a polydispersity index of 0.086. The obvious switching of zeta potential indicates successful alternating deposition of the polyanion PSS and polycation PAH directly on the gelatin nanoparticles. Photosensitizer photophysical properties were shown to be preserved after gelatin nanoparticle encapsulation. The impact of the PDT in the viability and morphology of Leishmania amazonensis promastigote in culture medium was evaluated. The PGN-NzPc presented low toxicity at the dark and the PDT was capable of decreasing the viability in more than 80% in 0.1 µmol.L-1 concentration tested. The PDT also triggered significant morphological alterations in the Leishmania promastigotes. These results reinforce the idea that the use of PGN as photosensitizers carriers is useful for PDT of Leishmania promastigotes.
