[PMID: 39142978 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2024.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
Modifying cells with polymers on the surface can enable them to gain or enhance function with various applications, wherein the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has garnered significant potential due to its biocompatibility. However, specifically initiating ATRP from the cell surface for in-situ modification remains challenging. This study established a bacterial surface-initiated ATRP method and further applied it for enhanced Cr(VI) removal. The cell surface specificity was facilely achieved by cell surface labelling with azide substrates, following alkynyl ATRP initiator specifically anchoring with azide-alkyne click chemistry. Then, the ATRP polymerization was initiated from the cell surface, and different polymers were successfully applied to in-situ modification. Further analysis revealed that the modification of Shewanella oneidensis with poly (4-vinyl pyridine) and sodium polymethacrylate improved the heavy metal tolerance and enhanced the Cr(VI) removal rate of 2.6 times from 0.088 h-1 to 0.314 h-1. This work provided a novel idea for bacterial surface modification and would extend the application of ATRP in bioremediation.

Abstract
As natural living substances, microorganisms have emerged as useful resources in medicine for creating microbe-material hybrids ranging from nano to macro dimensions. The engineering of microbe-involved nanomedicine capitalizes on the distinctive physiological attributes of microbes, particularly their intrinsic "living" properties such as hypoxia tendency and oxygen production capabilities. Exploiting these remarkable characteristics in combination with other functional materials or molecules enables synergistic enhancements that hold tremendous promise for improved drug delivery, site-specific therapy, and enhanced monitoring of treatment outcomes, presenting substantial opportunities for amplifying the efficacy of disease treatments. This comprehensive review outlines the microorganisms and microbial derivatives used in biomedicine and their specific advantages for therapeutic application. In addition, we delineate the fundamental strategies and mechanisms employed for constructing microbe-material hybrids. The diverse biomedical applications of the constructed microbe-material hybrids, encompassing bioimaging, anti-tumor, anti-bacteria, anti-inflammation and other diseases therapy are exhaustively illustrated. We also discuss the current challenges and prospects associated with the clinical translation of microbe-material hybrid platforms. Therefore, the unique versatility and potential exhibited by microbe-material hybrids position them as promising candidates for the development of next-generation nanomedicine and biomaterials with unique theranostic properties and functionalities.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 349:123987. [PMID: 38621453 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
Algae-driven photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a promising strategy to mitigate global climate changes and energy crises. Yet, the presence of metal nanoparticles (NPs), particularly dissolvable NPs, in aquatic ecosystems introduces new complexities due to their tendency to release metal ions that may perturb metabolic processes related to algal CO2 fixation. This study selected six representative metal NPs (Fe3O4, ZnO, CuO, NiO, MgO, and Ag) to investigate their impacts on CO2 fixation by algae (Chlorella vulgaris). We discovered an intriguing phenomenon that bivalent metal ions released from the metal NPs, especially from ZnO NPs, substituted Mg2+ within the porphyrin ring. This interaction led to 81.8% and 76.1% increases in Zinc-chlorophyll and Magnesium-chlorophyll contents within algal cells at 0.01 mM ZnO NPs, respectively. Integrating metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses revealed that ZnO NPs mainly promoted the photosynthesis-antenna protein pathway, porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism, and carbon fixation pathway, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of Zn2+ substitution in light harvesting and energy transfer for CO2 fixation. Ultimately, the genes encoding Rubisco large subunit (rbcL) responsible for CO2 fixation were upregulated to 2.60-fold, resulting in a 76.3% increase in carbon fixation capacity. Similar upregulations of rbcL expression (1.13-fold) and carbon fixation capacity (76.1%) were observed in algal cells even at 0.001 mM ZnO NPs, accompanied by valuable lipid accumulation. This study offers novel insights into the molecular mechanism underlying NPs on CO2 fixation by algae and potentially introduces strategies for global carbon sequestration.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have promising applications in biomedical fields, such as disease monitoring, real-time imaging diagnosis, and disease treatment. As a promising luminescent material with tunable emission, high brightness and excellent stability, CPs are widely used as fluorescent probes in biological detection and imaging. Rational molecular design and structural optimization have broadened absorption/emission range of CPs, which are more conductive for disease diagnosis and precision therapy. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the application of CPs, aiming to elucidate their structural and functional relationships. The fluorescence properties of CPs and the mechanism of detection signal amplification are first discussed, followed by an elucidation of their emerging applications in biological detection. Subsequently, CPs-based imaging systems and therapeutic strategies are illustrated systematically. Finally, recent advancements in utilizing CPs as electroactive materials for bioelectronic devices are also investigated. Moreover, the challenges and outlooks of CPs for precision medicine are discussed. Through this systematic review, it is hoped to highlight the frontier progress of CPs and promote new breakthroughs in fundamental research and clinical transformation.

Abstract
Solar-driven biosynthesis and bioconversion are essential for achieving sustainable resources and renewable energy. These processes harness solar energy to produce biomass, chemicals, and fuels. While they offer promising avenues, some challenges and limitations should be investigated and addressed for their improvement and widespread adoption. These include the low utilization of light energy, the inadequate selectivity of products, and the limited utilization of inorganic carbon/nitrogen sources. Organic semiconducting polymers offer a promising solution to these challenges by collaborating with natural microorganisms and developing artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems. In this Perspective, we highlight the latest advancements in the use of appropriate organic semiconducting polymers to construct artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems. We focus on how these systems can enhance the natural photosynthetic efficiency of photosynthetic organisms, create artificial photosynthesis capability of nonphotosynthetic organisms, and customize the value-added chemicals of photosynthetic synthesis. By examining the structure-activity relationships and emphasizing the mechanism of electron transfer based on organic semiconducting polymers in artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems, we aim to shed light on the potential of this novel strategy for artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems. Notably, these coupling strategies between organic semiconducting polymers and organisms during artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems will pave the way for a more sustainable future with solar fuels and chemicals.

Abstract
Diabetic chronic wounds are characterized by local hypoxia, impaired angiogenesis, and bacterial infection. In situ, self-supply of dissolved oxygen combined with the elimination of bacteria is urgent and challenging for chronic nonhealing wound treatment. Herein, an oxygen-generating system named HA-L-NB/PFE@cp involving biological photosynthetic chloroplasts (cp)/conjugated polymer composite nanoparticles (PFE-1-NPs@cp) and light-triggered hyaluronic acid-based (HA-L-NB) hydrogel for promoting diabetic wound healing is introduced. Briefly, conjugated polymer nanoparticles (PFE-1-NPs) possess unique light harvesting ability, which accelerates the electron transport rates in photosystem II (PS II) by energy transfer, elevating photosynthesis beyond natural chloroplasts. The enhanced release of oxygen can greatly relieve hypoxia, promote cell migration, and favor antibacterial photodynamic therapy. Additionally, the injectable hydrogel precursors are employed as a carrier to deliver PFE-1-NPs@cp into the wound. Under light irradiation, they quickly form a gel by S-nitrosylation coupling reaction and in situ anchor on tissues through amine-aldehyde condensation. Both in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrate that the oxygen-generating system can simultaneously relieve wound hypoxia, eliminate bacteria, and promote cell migration, leading to the acceleration of wound healing. This study provides a facile approach to develop an enhanced oxygen self-sufficient system for promoting hypoxic tissue, especially diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Artificially performing chemical reactions in living biosystems to attain various physiological aims remains an intriguing but very challenging task. In this study, the Schiff base reaction was conducted in cells using Sc(OTf)3 as a catalyst, enabling the in situ synthesis of a hollow covalent organic polymer (HCOP) without external stimuli. The reversible Schiff base reaction mediated intracellular Oswald ripening endows the HCOP with a spherical, hollow porous structure and a large specific surface area. The intracellularly generated HCOP reduced cellular motility by restraining actin polymerization, which consequently induced mitochondrial deactivation, apoptosis, and necroptosis. The presented intracellular synthesis system inspired by the Schiff base reaction has strong potential to regulate cell fate and biological functions, opening up a new strategic possibility for intervening in cellular behavior.

Abstract
Biomanufacturing of ethylene is particularly important for modern society. Cyanobacterial cells are able to photosynthesize various valuable chemicals. A promising platform for next-generation biomanufacturing, the semiconductor-cyanobacterial hybrid systems are capable of enhancing the solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency. Herein, the native ethylene-producing capability of a filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc sphaeroides is confirmed experimentally. The self-assembly characteristic of N. sphaeroides is exploited to facilitate its interaction with InP nanomaterial, and the resulting biohybrid system gave rise to further elevated photosynthetic ethylene production. Based on chlorophyll fluorescence measurement and metabolic analysis, the InP nanomaterial-augmented photosystem I activity and enhanced ethylene production metabolism of biohybrid cells are confirmed, the mechanism underlying the material-cell energy transduction as well as nanomaterial-modulated photosynthetic light and dark reactions are established. This work not only demonstrates the potential application of semiconductor-N. sphaeroides biohybrid system as a good platform for sustainable ethylene production but also provides an important reference for future studies to construct and optimize nano-cell biohybrid systems for efficient solar-driven valuable chemical production.

Abstract
Polymerization inside living cells provides chemists with a multitude of possibilities to modulate cell activities. Considering the advantages of hyperbranched polymers, such as a large surface area for target sites and multilevel branched structures for resistance to the efflux effect, we reported a hyperbranched polymerization in living cells based on the oxidative polymerization of organotellurides and intracellular redox environment. The intracellular hyperbranched polymerization was triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the intracellular redox microenvironment, effectively disrupting antioxidant systems in cells by an interaction between Te (+4) and selenoproteins, thus inducing selective apoptosis of cancer cells. Importantly, the obtained hyperbranched polymer aggregated into branched nanostructures in cells, which could effectively evade drug pumps and decrease drug efflux, ensuring the polymerization for persistent treatment. Finally, in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that our strategy presented selective anticancer efficacy and well biosafety. This approach provides a way for intracellular polymerization with desirable biological applications to regulate cell activities.

Abstract
On-surface synthesis is a modern technique for the preparation of atomically low-dimensional molecular nanostructures. However, most nanomaterials grow horizontally on the surface, and the step-by-step longitudinally controllable covalent bonding reaction on the surface is rarely reported. Here, we successfully achieved bottom-up on-surface synthesis by using coiled-coil homotetrameric peptide bundles called 'bundlemers' as building blocks. Rigid nano-cylindrical bundlemer with two click-reactive functionalities at each end can be grafted vertically onto the surface or another bundlemer with complementary clickable groups by click reaction at one end, thus enabling the longitudinal bottom-up synthesis of rigid rods with an exact number of bundlemers (up to 6) on the surface. Moreover, we can graft linear poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to one terminal of rigid rods to obtain rod-PEG hybrid nanostructures that can be released from the surface under specific conditions. Interestingly, rod-PEG nanostructures consisting of different numbers of bundles can self-assemble in water into different nano-hyperstructures. In general, the bottom-up on-surface synthesis strategy presented here can provide a simple and accurate method to manufacture a variety of nanomaterials.

Contributing to a deeper understanding of bioelectronic processes and the built bioelectronic systems, a variety of new phenomena, mechanisms and concepts have been derived in the field of biology, medicine, energy, artificial intelligence science, etc. Organic semiconductors can promote the applications of bioelectronics in improving original performance and creating new features for organisms due to their excellent photoelectric and electrical properties. Recently, water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCPs) have been employed as a class of ideal interface materials to regulate bioelectronic processes between biological systems and electronic systems, relying on their satisfying ionic conductivity, water-solubility, good biocompatibility and the additional mechanical and electrical properties. In this review, we summarize the prominent contributions of WSCPs in the aspect of the regulation of bioelectronic processes and highlight the latest advances in WSCPs for bioelectronic applications, involving biosynthetic systems, photosynthetic systems, biophotovoltaic systems, and bioelectronic devices. The challenges and outlooks of WSCPs in designing high-performance bioelectronic systems are also discussed.

Abstract
The emergence and global spread of bacterial resistance to conventionally used antibiotics have highlighted the urgent need for new antimicrobial agents that might replace antibiotics. Currently, nanomaterials hold considerable promise as antimicrobial agents in anti-inflammatory therapy. Due to their distinctive functional physicochemical characteristics and exceptional biocompatibility, carbon dots (CDs)-based composites have attracted a lot of attention in the context of these antimicrobial nanomaterials. Here, a thorough assessment of current developments in the field of antimicrobial CDs-based composites is provided, starting with a brief explanation of the general synthesis procedures, categorization, and physicochemical characteristics of CDs-based composites. The many processes driving the antibacterial action of these composites are then thoroughly described, including physical destruction, oxidative stress, and the incorporation of antimicrobial agents. Finally, the obstacles that CDs-based composites now suffer in combating infectious diseases are outlined and investigated, along with the potential applications of antimicrobial CDs-based composites.

Abstract
Fluorescent polyelectrolytes have attracted enormous attention as functional polymer materials. In contrast with the widely studied conjugated polyelectrolytes with ionic groups in side chains, fluorescent main-chain charged polyelectrolytes (MCCPs) have rarely been explored due to the large synthetic difficulty. Herein, we develop a facile and atom-economical N-heterocyclic carbene-directed cascade C-H activation/annulation polymerization strategy that can transform readily available imidazolium substrates and internal diynes into multifunctional fluorescent MCCPs with complex structures and high molecular weights (absolute Mn up to 135 600) in nearly quantitative yields. The presence of multisubstituted polycyclic N-heteroaromatic cations in polymer backbones endow the obtained MCCPs with excellent solution processability, high thermal stability, and dual-state efficient fluorescence in both solution and aggregate states. Benefiting from the strong electron-withdrawing capability of the cationic heterocycles in main chains, multicolored aggregate-state fluorescence can be readily achieved by modifying the substituents around the cationic ring-fused core. Taking advantage of the good photosensitivity of the fluorescent MCCP thin films, multiscale and high-resolution fluorescent photopatterns with different colors can be facilely prepared with potential applications in optical display devices and anticounterfeiting systems. Moreover, the strong electrostatic interactions of these cationic MCCPs with anionic polyelectrolytes enable them to form multicolored fluorescent interfacial polyelectrolyte complexation microfibers with directly visualized internal structures. Such flexible microfibers can be further made into diversified forms of fiber-based macroscopic patterns or painting.

Abstract
Recovery of noble metals and in situ transforming to functional materials hold great promise in the sustainability of natural resources but remain as a challenge. Herein, the variable chemical microenvironments created by the inorganic-organic hybrid composition of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were exploited to tune the metal-support interactions, thus establishing an integrated strategy for recovering and reducing palladium (Pd). Assisted by sonic waves and alcoholic solvent, selective capture of Pd(II) from a complicated matrix to directly afford Pd nanoparticles (NPs) in MOFs can be achieved in one step within several minutes. Mechanism investigation reveals that the Pd binding site and the energy barriers between ionic and metallic status are sensitive to chemical environments in different frameworks. Thanks to the clean, dispersive, and uniform nature of Pd NPs, Pd@MOFs synthesized from a complicated environment exhibited high catalytic activity toward 4-nitrophenol reduction and Suzuki coupling reactions.

Abstract
Bacteria-mediated reactions can utilize the natural activities of bacteria to produce bioactive products. Here, bacteria-mediated polymerization of the acrylamide-functionalized peptide Trp-Arg-Lys (Am-WRK) afforded an antibacterial polymer, PAm-WRK, which simulates the cationic and hydrophobic structures of antimicrobial peptides. Facultative anaerobes with strong reductive abilities exhibited better reactivity and achieved selective antibacterial effects through non-covalent interactions with bacterial membranes. This bacteria-mediated synthesis of AMP-mimic polymers provides a new strategy for overcoming bacterial resistance and for the in situ generation of bioactive functional materials.

Abstract
Conducting crystallization-assisted self-assembly in living biosystems to obtain large-size nanoparticles and achieve a specific physiological purpose remains an appealing yet significantly challenging task. In this study, we designed Au(I)-disulfide nanosheets containing an aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer, namely, NSs@TTVP, which exhibited pH-responsive crystallization-driven self-assembly capability in lysosomes of cancer cells and tumor tissues of mice. The crystallization process endowed NSs@TTVP with a microscale morphology, stronger fluorescence output, and highly enhanced reactive oxygen species production efficiency. The in vivo results demonstrated that NSs@TTVP shows both long-term retention in tumors and extensive destruction to cancer cells, making it supremely powerful for fluorescence imaging-guided tumor tracking and inhibition.

Abstract
Cell-in-shell biohybrid structures, synthesized by encapsulating individual living cells with exogenous materials, have emerged as exciting functional entities for engineered living materials, with emergent properties outside the scope of biochemical modifications. Artificial exoskeletons have, to date, provided physicochemical shelters to the cells inside in the first stage of technological development, and further advances in the field demand catalytically empowered, cellular hybrid systems that augment the biological functions of cells and even introduce completely new functions to the cells. This work describes a facile and generalizable strategy for empowering living cells with extrinsic catalytic capability through nanoencapsulation of living cells with a supramolecular metal-organic complex of Fe3+ and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC). A series of enzymes are embedded in situ, without loss of catalytic activity, in the Fe3+ -BTC shells, not to mention the superior characteristics of cytocompatible and rapid shell-forming processes. The nanoshell enhances the catalytic efficiency of multienzymatic cascade reactions by confining reaction intermediates to its internal voids and the nanoencapsulated cells acquire exogenous biochemical functions, including enzymatic cleavage of lethal octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside into d-glucose, with autonomous cytoprotection. The system will provide a versatile, nanoarchitectonic tool for interfacing biological cells with functional materials, especially for catalytic bioempowerment of living cells.

Abstract
Biological cells such as bacterial, fungal, and mammalian cells always exploit sophisticated chemistries and exquisite micro- and nano-structures to execute life activities, providing numerous templates for engineering bioactive and biomorphic materials, devices, and systems. To transform biological cells into functional biocomposites, polymer-directed cell surface engineering and intracellular functionalization have been developed over the past two decades. Polymeric materials can be easily adopted by various cells through polymer grafting or in situ hydrogelation and can successfully bridge cells with other functional materials as interfacial layers, thus achieving the manufacture of advanced biocomposites through bioaugmentation of living cells and transformation of cells into templated materials. This review article summarizes the recent progress in the design and construction of cell-based biocomposites by polymer-directed strategies. Furthermore, the applications of cell-based biocomposites in broad fields such as cell research, biomedicine, and bioenergy are discussed. Last, we provide personal perspectives on challenges and future trends in this interdisciplinary area.

Abstract
Palladium metal nanoparticles are excellent catalysts used industrially for reactions such as hydrogenation and Heck and Suzuki C-C coupling reactions. However, the global demand for Pd far exceeds global supply, therefore the sustainable use and recycling of Pd is vital. Conventional chemical synthesis routes of Pd metal nanoparticles do not meet sustainability targets due to the use of toxic chemicals, such as organic solvents and capping agents. Microbes are capable of bioreducing soluble high oxidation state metal ions to form metal nanoparticles at ambient temperature and pressure, without the need for toxic chemicals. Microbes can also reduce metal from waste solutions, revalorising these waste streams and allowing the reuse of precious metals. Pd nanoparticles supported on microbial cells (bio-Pd) can catalyse a wide array of reactions, even outperforming commercial heterogeneous Pd catalysts in several studies. However, to be considered a viable commercial option, the intrinsic activity and selectivity of bio-Pd must be enhanced. Many types of microorganisms can produce bio-Pd, although most studies so far have been performed using bacteria, with metal reduction mediated by hydrogenase or formate dehydrogenase enzymes. Dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria (DMRB) possess additional enzymes adapted for extracellular electron transport that potentially offer greater control over the properties of the nanoparticles produced. A recent and important addition to the field are bio-bimetallic nanoparticles, which significantly enhance the catalytic properties of bio-Pd. In addition, systems biology can integrate bio-Pd into biocatalytic processes, and processing techniques may enhance the catalytic properties further, such as incorporating additional functional nanomaterials. This review aims to highlight aspects of enzymatic metal reduction processes that can be bioengineered to control the size, shape, and cellular location of bio-Pd in order to optimise its catalytic properties.

Abstract
Photobiological hydrogen production is among the most promising ways toward the mass production of hydrogen energy. The use of green algal aggregates to produce photobiological hydrogen has attracted much attention because it overcomes the limitations of sulfur deprivation and oxygen scavengers. However, the current preparation of green algal aggregates that are capable of hydrogen production is time-consuming and laborious, leading to a difficulty in large-scale applications. Here, we demonstrated that the chemical flocculation of green algae is able to generate aggregates for photobiological hydrogen production. We find that Chlorella pyrenoidosa can directly form aggregates in the original liquid cultures by a commercial chemical flocculant, cationic etherified starch, thereby achieving sustainable hydrogen production for 11 days under continuous light irradiation, and the average rate of photobiological production reaches 0.37 μmol H2 (mg chlorophyll·h)-1. This research provides a feasible approach for preparing a low-cost photobiological hydrogen production system helping to realize carbon neutrality.

Abstract
Carbon neutrality is increasingly broadly recognized as a vehicle for climate action and sustainable development. Photosynthesis contributes to maintaining a suitable carbon-oxygen balance for survival and plays an irreplaceable role in mitigating the greenhouse effect. However, the energy conversion efficiency of photosynthesis is only about 1%, far below the theoretical maximum. With the ecological demand of carbon neutrality, it is wise and necessary to further improve the efficiency of photosynthesis. Among methods to do so, the most direct and original one is improving the utilization of photosynthetic pigments to the weak absorption region of the spectrum and thus enhancing the solar energy utilization efficiency.This Account summarizes our group's work on constructing conjugated polymer-photosynthetic organism interfaces to augment photosynthetic efficiency. Side chain modification of ionic groups or preparation of nanoparticles makes conjugated polymers water-soluble and electrically charged, which allows them to bind to the surface of photosynthetic microorganisms through electrostatic interactions or be absorbed by plant roots. Owing to the designable and unparalleled light capture and emission capabilities, funnel-like excitation energy transfer mode, and enviable biocompatibility, organic semiconductor conjugated polymers can be used as "artificial antennas" to make up for the lack of natural antenna pigments and expand the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) range. With this strategy, we achieved enhancement of the photosynthetic efficiency of a broad range of organisms, including oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, from organelle to prokaryotic cyanobacteria, eukaryotic lower plants, and higher plants, as well as anoxygenic photosynthetic organisms. Unlike conventional semiconductors, conjugated polymers have not only electronic conductivity but also ionic conductivity, which is the main means of bioelectrical signal transduction. Therefore, they are able to act as "electron bridges" to accelerate the electron transfer rate at the material-organism interface. On this basis, we introduced conjugated polymers into artificial photosynthesis systems, including biological photovoltaics and artificial carbon sequestration, to increase energy conversion efficiency. These studies open a new frontier for functional studies of conjugated molecules and provide inspirations for the design of photosynthesis systems in the future.

Abstract
Peptide drug conjugate (PDC) has emerged as one of the new generations of targeted therapeutics for cancer, which owns the advantages of improved drug targetability and reduced adverse effects compared with traditional chemotherapy. However, the poor permeability of PDC drugs regarding tumor cells is an urgent problem to be solved. Herein, we design a PDC drug molecule, which is composed of three modules: targeting motif (RGD target), assembly motif (GNNNQNY) and cytotoxic payload (CPT molecule). This PDC in situ forms nanoclusters upon binding cellular receptor, resulting in improved PDC cell-entry efficiency and treatment efficacy. In addition, the PDC shows increased therapeutic efficacy and raises the maximum tolerance dose of the drug in breast and bladder xenografted mice models. This strategy leverages the assembly principle to promote penetration of peptide molecules into cells and increase intracellular drug bioavailability, which is of great significance for the development of PDC drugs in the future.

Abstract
To develop efficient photoactive agents with satisfactory fluorescence, photodynamic, and photothermal effects is crucial for a phototherapeutic strategy to combat cancer diseases and pathogenic microbes. Herein, a water-soluble donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) structured conjugated oligomer was designed and synthesized, consisting of two cyclopenta-dithiophene (CDT) units as the electron donor and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as the electron acceptor. Upon excitation, dual emission was observed for CDT-BODIPY with blue and red fluorescence peaks at 463 nm and at 730 nm, respectively, which was ascribed to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). Due to the ICT effect, the singlet-to-triplet intersystem crossing rate of CDT-BODIPY was also enhanced, leading to an outstanding photodynamic behavior to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Meanwhile, its low bandgap also enabled it a moderate photothermal capability with a conversion efficiency of 33.1%. Taking advantage of its phototriggered activities, this conjugated oligomer exhibited an effective inhibition behavior on the pathogenic growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Candida albicans (C. albicans), which can be guided by dual-wavelength fluorescence imaging. This D-A-D type conjugated oligomer with balanced photophysical characteristics provides a promising strategy to imaging-guided photoactive therapy.

Abstract
With the increasing awareness of sustainable development, energy and environment are becoming two of the most important issues of concern to the world today. Whole-cell-based photosynthetic biohybrid systems (PBSs), an emerging interdisciplinary field, are considered as attractive biosynthetic platforms with great prospects in energy and environment, combining the superiorities of semiconductor materials with high energy conversion efficiency and living cells with distinguished biosynthetic capacity. This review presents a systematic discussion on the synthesis strategies of whole-cell-based PBSs that demonstrate a promising potential for applications in sustainable solar-to-chemical conversion, including light-facilitated carbon dioxide reduction and biohydrogen production. In the end, the explicit perspectives on the challenges and future directions in this burgeoning field are discussed.

Abstract
In this review article, the recent examples of nanoarchitectonics on living cells are briefly explained. Not limited to conventional polymers, functional polymers, biomaterials, nanotubes, nanoparticles (conventional and magnetic ones), various inorganic substances, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and other advanced materials have been used as components for nanoarchitectonic decorations for living cells. Despite these artificial processes, the cells can remain active or remain in hibernation without being killed. In most cases, basic functions of the cells are preserved and their resistances against external assaults are much enhanced. The possibilities of nanoarchitectonics on living cells would be high, equal to functional modifications with conventional materials. Living cells can be regarded as highly functionalized objects and have indispensable contributions to future materials nanoarchitectonics.

Abstract
The synergistic union of nanomaterials with biomaterials has revolutionized synthetic chemistry, enabling the creation of nanomaterial-based biohybrids with distinct properties for biomedical applications. This class of materials has drawn significant scientific interest from the perspective of functional extension via controllable coupling of synthetic and biomaterial components, resulting in enhancement of the chemical, physical, and biological properties of the obtained biohybrids. In this review, we highlight the forefront materials for the combination with biomacromolecules and living organisms and their advantageous properties as well as recent advances in the rational design and synthesis of artificial biohybrids. We further illustrate the incredible diversity of biomedical applications stemming from artificially bioaugmented characteristics of the nanomaterial-based biohybrids. Eventually, we aim to inspire scientists with the application horizons of the exciting field of synthetic augmented biohybrids.
