Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive type of breast cancer and has many characteristics including high metastatic rates, poor overall survival, and low response to traditional chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), emerging as a precise treatment modality, has shown promise in improving the antitumor response. However, it still faces challenges such as limited light penetration depth, rapid oxygen consumption, and inadequate targeting ability. In this study, we developed Rose Bengal (RB, photosensitizer) and oxygen co-loaded CREKA-modified UCNP-based nanoliposomes (CLIP-RB-PFOB@UCNP) for tumor targeting and near-infrared (NIR)-triggered deep and long-lasting PDT. Our results demonstrated that CLIP-RB-PFOB@UCNP effectively targeted and accumulated in tumor tissue through the interaction between CREKA and fibronectin, which is overexpressed in tumor cells. Under NIR irradiation, CLIP-RB-PFOB@UCNP exhibited significant destruction of orthotopic tumors, reduced the level of HIF-1α, and efficiently suppressed lung metastasis in a metastatic TNBC model. In conclusion, this study offers new avenues for improving the therapeutic outcomes of PDT for clinical TNBC treatment.

Abstract
Upconversion nanohybrids (UCNHs) consisting of rose bengal (RB) and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are able to promote terpinene oxidation upon near-infrared irradiation. The photophysical events occurring upon NIR-irradiation of the UCNH correlate well with the synthetic protocol used to prepare the UCNHs (RB loading and aggregation). These results highlight the importance of the optimization of UCNH composition for the photocatalysis outcome.

Abstract
Therapeutic modalities and drug formulations play a crucial and prominent role in actualizing effective treatment and radical cures of tumors. However, the therapeutic efficiency was severely limited by tumor recurrence and complex multi-step preparation of formulation. Therefore, the exploration of novel nanoparticles via a simple and green synthesis process for conquering traditional obstacles and improving therapeutic efficiency is an appealing, yet remarkably challenging task. Herein, a universal nanoplatform allows all cancerous cell-targeting, acid-responsive, cell imaging, synergistic chemotherapy, and nucleolar targeted phototherapy function was tactfully designed and constructed by using chemotherapeutic agents ursolic acid (UA), sorafenib (SF), and carbon dots (CDs) photosensitizers (PSs). The designed US NPs were formed by self-assembly of UA and SF associated with electrostatic, π-π stacking, and hydrophobic interactions. After hydrogen bonding reaction with CDs, the obtained (denoted as USC NPs) have a relatively uniform size of an average 125.6 nm, which facilitated the favorable accumulation of drugs at the tumor region through a potential enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect as compared to their counterpart of free CDs solution. Both in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that the advanced platform commenced synergistic anticancer therapeutic potency, imperceptible systematical toxicity, and remarkable reticence towards drug-resistant cancer cells. Moreover, the CDs PSs possess intrinsic nucleolus-targeting ability. Taken together, this theranostics system can fully play the role of "killing three birds with one stone" in a safe manner, implying a promising direction for exploring treatment strategies for cancer and endowing them with great potential for future translational research and providing a new vision for the advancing of an exceptionally forceful protocol for practical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is an important reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is intensively involved in natural photochemical and photobiological processes. Herein, selectively lighting up 1O2 is achieved in the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from the Zn2+-mediated AIE assembly of Au nanoclusters (Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs). Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs can exhibit efficient AIE ECL and photoluminescence (PL) along with 1O2 generation in energy and charge transfer routes, respectively. The AIE ECL of the Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs/tripropylamine (TEA) system in carbonate buffer is located around 703 nm with the dimeric aggregate of 1O2 as an emitter because electrochemically oxidizing coexisted Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs and TEA in carbonate buffer would promote the oxygen vacancy (Ov) of Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs, which could selectively enable the generation of emissive singlet oxygen in the energy transfer route by effectively transferring the energy from excited singlet Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs to the triplet ground state of dissolved oxygen (3O2). No emissive 1O2 is detected via electrochemically oxidizing the Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs in the case without either carbonate buffer or TEA, and the Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs/TEA system can only exhibit AIE ECL around 485 nm with Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs as the emitter in carbonate-free buffers. Photoexciting Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs merely brings out band-gap-engineered AIE PL around ∼485 nm with Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs as the emitter, which manifests that the 1O2 generated in the charge transfer route via photoexciting Zn2+-AIE-AuNCs is un-emissive. This work not only proposes an effective strategy for AIE with 1O2 as an emitter but also opens a promising way to selectively light up 1O2.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), characterized by converting low-energy excitation to high-energy emission, have attracted considerable interest due to their inherent advantages of large anti-Stokes shifts, sharp and narrow multicolor emissions, negligible autofluorescence background interference, and excellent chemical- and photo-stability. These features make them promising luminophores for sensing applications. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanophosphors including the fundamental principle for the construction of UCNPs with efficient upconversion luminescence (UCL), followed by state-of-the-art strategies for the synthesis and surface modification of UCNPs, and finally describing current advances in the sensing application of upconversion-based probes for the quantitative analysis of various analytes including pH, ions, molecules, bacteria, reactive species, temperature, and pressure. In addition, emerging sensing applications like photodetection, velocimetry, electromagnetic field, and voltage sensing are highlighted.

Abstract
The current treatment for malignant brain tumors includes surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Nevertheless, the survival rate for patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) with a high grade of malignancy is less than one year. From a clinical point of view, effective treatment of GBM is limited by several challenges. First, the anatomical complexity of the brain influences the extent of resection because a fine balance must be struck between maximal removal of malignant tissue and minimal surgical risk. Second, the central nervous system has a distinct microenvironment that is protected by the blood–brain barrier, restricting systemically delivered drugs from accessing the brain. Additionally, GBM is characterized by high intra-tumor and inter-tumor heterogeneity at cellular and histological levels. This peculiarity of GBM-constituent tissues induces different responses to therapeutic agents, leading to failure of targeted therapies. Unlike surgical resection and radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) can treat micro-invasive areas while protecting sensitive brain regions. PDT involves photoactivation of photosensitizers (PSs) that are selectively incorporated into tumor cells. Photo-irradiation activates the PS by transfer of energy, resulting in production of reactive oxygen species to induce cell death. Clinical outcomes of PDT-treated GBM can be advanced in terms of nanomedicine. This review discusses clinical PDT applications of nanomedicine for the treatment of GBM.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are a class of optical nanocrystals doped with lanthanide ions that offer great promise for applications in controllable tumor therapy. In recent years, UCNPs have become an important tool for studying the treatment of various malignant and nonmalignant cutaneous diseases. UCNPs convert near-infrared (NIR) radiation into shorter-wavelength visible and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is much better than conventional UV activated tumor therapy as strong UV-light can be damaging to healthy surrounding tissue. Moreover, UV light generally does not penetrate deeply into the skin, an issue that UCNPs can now address. However, the current studies are still in the early stage of research, with a long way to go before clinical implementation. In this paper, we systematically analysed recent advances in light-activated tumor therapy using functionalized UCNPs. We summarized the purpose and mechanism of UCNP-based photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy, immunotherapy, chemo-therapy and integrated therapy. We believe the creation of functional materials based on UCNPs will offer superior performance and enable innovative applications, increasing the scope and opportunities for cancer therapy in the future.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of drug-resistant bacteria has raised a great social concern together with the impetus for exploring advanced antibacterial ways. NIR-triggered antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) by lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) as energy donor exhibits the advantages of high tissue penetration, broad antibacterial spectrum and less acquired resistance, but is still limited by its low efficacy. Now we designed a bio-inorganic nanohybrid and combined lysozyme (LYZ) with UCNP-PDT system to enhance the efficiency against resistant bacteria. Benefiting from the rapid adhesion to bacteria, intelligently bacteria-responsive LYZ release and synergistic LYZ-PDT effect, the nanoplatform achieves an exceptionally strong bactericidal capacity and conspicuous bacteriostasis on methicillin-resistant S. aureus. These findings pave the way for designing efficiently antibacterial nanomaterials and provide a new strategy for combating deep-tissue bacterial infection.

Abstract
At present, cancer is obviously a major threat to human health worldwide. Accurate diagnosis and treatment are in great demand and have become an effective method to alleviate the development of cancer and improve the survival rate of patients. A large number of theranostic probes that combine diagnosis and treatment methods have been developed as promising tools for tumor precision medicine. Among them, fluorescent theranostic probes have developed rapidly in the frontier research field of precision medicine with their real time, low toxicity, and high-resolution merit. Therefore, this review focuses on recent advances in the development of fluorescent theranostic probes, as well as their applications for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Initially, small-molecule fluorescent theranostic probes mainly including tumor microenvironment-responsive fluorescent prodrugs and phototherapeutic probes were introduced. Subsequently, nanocomposite probes are expounded based on four types of nano-fluorescent particles combining different therapies (chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, gene therapy, etc.). Then, the capsule-type "all in one" probes, which occupy an important position in theranostic probes, are summarized according to the surface carrier type. This review aims to present a comprehensive guide for researchers in the field of tumor-related theranostic probe design and development.

Abstract
Multifunctional lanthanide-based upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which feature efficiently convert low-energy photons into high-energy photons, have attracted considerable attention in the domain of materials science and biomedical applications. Due to their unique photophysical properties, including light-emitting stability, excellent upconversion luminescence efficiency, low autofluorescence, and high detection sensitivity, and high penetration depth in samples, UCNPs have been widely applied in biomedical applications, such as biosensing, imaging and theranostics. In this review, we briefly introduced the major components of UCNPs and the luminescence mechanism. Then, we compared several common design synthesis strategies and presented their advantages and disadvantages. Several examples of the functionalization of UCNPs were given. Next, we detailed their biological applications in bioimaging and disease treatment, particularly drug delivery and photodynamic therapy, including antibacterial photodynamic therapy. Finally, the future practical applications in materials science and biomedical fields, as well as the remaining challenges to UCNPs application, were described. This review provides useful practical information and insights for the research on and application of UCNPs in the field of cancer.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer survival and the recurrence rate are drastically affected by the amount of tumor that can be surgically removed prior to chemotherapy. Surgeons are currently limited to visual inspection, making smaller tumors difficult to be removed surgically. Enhancing the surgeon's ability to selectively remove cancerous tissue would have a positive effect on a patient's prognosis. One approach to aid in surgical tumor removal involves using targeted fluorescent probes to selectively label cancerous tissue. To date, there has been a trade-off in balancing two requirements for the surgeon: the ability to see maximal tumors and the ability to identify these tumors by eye while performing the surgery. The ability to see maximal tumors has been prioritized and this has led to the use of fluorophores activated by near-infrared (NIR) light as NIR penetrates most deeply in this surgical setting, but the light emitted by traditional NIR fluorophores is invisible to the naked eye. This has necessitated the use of specialty detectors and monitors that the surgeon must consult while performing the surgery. In this study, we develop nanoparticles that selectively label ovarian tumors and are activated by NIR light but emit visible light. This potentially allows for maximal tumor observation and real-time detection by eye during surgery. We designed two generations of up-converting nanoparticles that emit green light when illuminated with NIR light. These particles specifically label ovarian tumors most likely via tumor-associated macrophages, which are prominent in the tumor microenvironment. Our results demonstrate that this approach is a viable means of visualizing tumors during surgery without the need for complicated, expensive, and bulky detection equipment. Continued improvement and experimentation could expand our approach into a much needed surgical technique to aid ovarian tumor removal.

Abstract
Incorporating nanotechnology into fluorescent imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown promising potential for accurate diagnosis of cancer at an earlier stage than the conventional imaging modalities. Molecular imaging (MI) aims to quantitatively characterize, visualize, and measure the biological processes or living cells at molecular and genetic levels. MI modalities have been exploited in different applications including noninvasive determination and visualization of diseased tissues, cell trafficking visualization, early detection, treatment response monitoring, and in vivo visualization of living cells. High-affinity molecular probe and imaging modality to detect the probe are the two main requirements of MI. Recent advances in nanotechnology and allied modalities have facilitated the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as MI probes. Within the extensive group of NPs, fluorescent NPs play a prominent role in optical molecular imaging. The fluorescent NPs used in molecular and cellular imaging can be categorized into three main groups including quantum dots (QDs), upconversion, and dyedoped NPs. Fluorescent NPs have great potential in targeted theranostics including cancer imaging, immunoassay- based cells, proteins and bacteria detections, imaging-guided surgery, and therapy. Fluorescent NPs have shown promising potentials for drug and gene delivery, detection of the chromosomal abnormalities, labeling of DNA, and visualizing DNA replication dynamics. Multifunctional NPs have been successfully used in a single theranostic modality integrating diagnosis and therapy. The unique characteristics of multifunctional NPs make them potential theranostic agents that can be utilized concurrently for diagnosis and therapy. This review provides the state of the art of the applications of nanotechnologies in early cancer diagnosis focusing on fluorescent NPs, their synthesis methods, and perspectives in clinical theranostics.

Abstract
A desirable cancer therapeutic strategy is supposed to have effective ability to not only exert maximum anticancer ability but also inspire antitumor immunity for preventing tumor relapse and metastasis. During this research, multifunctional upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) coated by ROS-responsive micelles are prepared for tumor targeting and near-infrared (NIR)-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT)-combined synergistic effect of chemotherapy. Moreover, both PDT and chemotherapy agents could activate antitumor immunity via inducing immunogenic cell death with CD8+ and CD4+ T cells infiltrating in tumors. Through the experiments, intravenous administration of multifunctional nanocarriers with noninvasive NIR irradiation destroys the orthotopic tumors and efficiently suppresses lung metastasis in a metastatic triple-negative breast cancer model by cascade-amplifying chemo-PDT and systemic antitumor immunity. In conclusion, this study provides prospective chemo-PDT with inspired antitumor immunity for metastatic cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a non-invasive therapeutic modality that is alternative to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, is extensively investigated for cancer treatments. Although conventional organic photosensitizers (PSs) are still widely used and have achieved great progresses in PDT, the disadvantages such as hydrophobicity, poor stability within PDT environment and low cell/tissue specificity largely limit their clinical applications. Consequently, nano-agents with promising physicochemical and optical properties have emerged as an attractive alternative to overcome these drawbacks of traditional PSs. Herein, the up-to-date advances in the fabrication and fascinating applications of various nanomaterials in PDT have been summarized, including various types of nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, and two-dimensional nanomaterials, etc. In addition, the current challenges for the clinical use of PDT, and the corresponding strategies to address these issues, as well as future perspectives on further improvement of PDT have also been discussed.

Abstract
The property of upconverting nanoparticles to convert the low-energy near-infrared (NIR) light into high-energy visible light has made them a potential candidate for various biomedical applications including photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we show how a surface functionalization approach on the nanoparticle can be used to develop a nanocomposite hydrogel which can be of potential use for the PDT application. The upconverting hydrogel nanocomposite was synthesized by reacting 10-undecenoic acid-capped Yb3+/Er3+-doped NaYF4 nanoparticles with the thermosensitive N-isopropylacrylamide monomer. The formation of hydrogel was completed within 15 min and hydrogel nanocomposites showed strong enhancement in the visible light emission compared to the emission obtained from 10-undecenoic acid-capped Yb3+/Er3+-doped NaYF4 nanoparticles via the upconversion process (under 980 nm laser excitation). The upconverting hydrogel nanocomposites displayed high swelling behavior in water because of their porous nature. The porous structure ensured a higher loading of methylene blue dye (∼78% in 1 h) into the upconverting hydrogel, which was achieved via the swelling diffusion phenomenon. Upon excitation with the NIR light, the visible light emitted from the hydrogel activated the photosensitizer methylene blue which generated reactive oxygen species. Our results were able to show that the methylene blue-loaded composite hydrogel can be a potential platform for the future of NIR-triggered PDT in skin cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive medical technology that has been applied in cancer treatment where it is accessible by direct or endoscope-assisted light irradiation. To lower phototoxicity and increase tissue penetration depth of light, great effort has been focused on developing new sensitizers that can utilize red or near-infrared (NIR) light for the past decades. Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have a unique property to transduce NIR excitation light to UV-vis emission efficiently. This property allows some low-cost, low-toxicity, commercially available visible light sensitizers, which originally are not suitable for deep tissue PDT, to be activated by NIR light and have been reported extensively in the past few years. However, some issues still remain in the UCNP-assisted PDT platform such as colloidal stability, photosensitizer loading efficiency, and accessibility for targeting ligand installation, despite some advances in this direction. In this study, we designed a facile phospholipid-coated UCNP method to generate a highly colloidally stable nanoplatform that can effectively load a series of visible light sensitizers in the lipid layers. The loading stability and singlet oxygen generation efficiency of this sensitizer-loaded lipid-coated UCNP platform were investigated. We also have demonstrated the enhanced cellular uptake efficiency and tumor cell selectivity of this lipid-coated UCNP platform by changing the lipid dopant. On the basis of the evidence of our results, the lipid-complexed UCNP nanoparticles could serve as an effective photosensitizer carrier for NIR light-mediated PDT.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of oxygen consumption is beneficial to predict treatment responses and optimize therapeutic protocols for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we first demonstrate that deformable hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs) can be used to load [(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 for detecting oxygen (denoted as HMON-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2). This nanoprobe shows significantly improved biocompatibility and high cellular uptake. In-vitro experiments demonstrate that the HMON-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 can sensitively detect oxygen changes between 1% and 20%. On this basis, photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and [(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 are simultaneously loaded in the HMONs (denoted as HMON-Ce6-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2) for real-time oxygen monitoring during photodynamic therapy. The HMON-Ce6-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 can reflects oxygen consumption in solution and cells in photodynamic therapy. Furthermore, the ability of the HMON-Ce6-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 nanosensor to monitor oxygen changes is demonstrated in tumor-bearing nude mice.

Abstract
In this review, we focus on recent advances in the synthesis of polymer-functionalized transition-metal-based nanomaterials and follow this up by discussing their applications in bioimaging diagnosis and cancer therapy. Transition-metal-based nanomaterials show great potential in cancer therapy owing to their intensive near-IR absorption, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, strong X-ray attenuation, and magnetic properties. Functional polymers are usually introduced by a one-step or multistep method to further endow these nanomaterials with great biocompatibility and physiological stability. Polymer-decorated transition-metal nanomaterials show great potential in multimodal imaging diagnosis (photoacoustic imaging, computed tomography, photoluminescence imaging, positron emission tomography, etc.) and cancer therapy (chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, microwave therapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy). At the end of this review, the prospects of these polymer-decorated transition-metal-based nanomaterials are also discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Near-infrared ray (NIR)-responsive 'smart' nanoagents allow spatial and temporal control over the drug delivery process, noninvasively, without affecting healthy tissues and therefore they possess high potential for on-demand, targeted drug/gene delivery. Various NIR-responsive drug/gene delivery techniques are under investigation for peripheral disorders (especially for cancer). Nonetheless, their potential not been extensively examined for brain biomedical application. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on NIR-responsive characteristics of different NIR-nanobiophotonics-based nanoagents and associated drug delivery strategies. Together with their ongoing applications for peripheral drug delivery, we have highlighted the opportunities, challenges and possible solutions of NIR-nanobiophotonics for potential brain drug delivery. EXPERT OPINION NIR-nanobiophotonics can be considered superior among all photo-controlled drug/gene delivery approaches. Future work should focus on coupling NIR with biocompatible nanocarriers to determine the physiological compatibility of this approach. Their applications should be extended beyond the peripheral body region to brain region. Transient or intermittent NIR exposure strategies may be more accommodating for brain physiological ambience in order to minimize or avoid the possible deleterious thermal effect. In addition, while most studies are centered around the first NIR spectral window (700-1000 nm), the potential of second (1100-1350 nm) and third (1600-1870 nm) windows must be explored.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped photon upconverting nanomaterials are evolving as a new class of imaging contrast agents, offering highly promising prospects in the area of biomedical applications. Owing to their ability to convert long-wavelength near-infrared excitation radiation into shorter-wavelength emissions, these nanomaterials are well suited to yield properties of low imaging background, large anti-Stokes shift, along with high optical penetration depth of NIR light for deep tissue optical imaging or light-activated drug release and therapy. Such materials have potential for significant advantages in analytical applications compared to molecular fluorophores and quantum dots. The use of IR radiation as an excitation source diminishes autofluorescence and scattering of excitation radiation, which leads to a reduction of background in optical experiments. The upconverting nanocrystals show exceptional photostability and are constituted of materials that are not significantly toxic to biological organisms. Excitation at long wavelengths also minimizes damage to biological materials. In this detailed review, various mechanisms operating for the upconversion process, and methods that are utilized to synthesize and decorate upconverting nanoparticles are investigated to elucidate by what means absorption and emission can be tuned. Up-to-date reports concerning cellular internalization, biodistribution, excretion, cytotoxicity and in vivo toxic effects of UCNPs are discussed. Specifically, studies which assessed the relationship between the chemical and physical properties of UCNPs and their biodistribution, excretion, and toxic effects are reviewed in detail. Finally, we also deliberate the challenges of guaranteeing the biosafety of UCNPs in vivo.

Abstract
A novel photodynamic therapy nanoplatform based on mesoporous-silica-coated upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP) with electrostatic-driven ultrafast photosensitizer (PS) loading and 808 nm near infrared (NIR)-light-triggering capabilities has been fabricated. By positively charging inner channels of the mesoporous silica shell with amino groups, a quantitative dosage of negatively charged PS, exemplified with Rose Bengal (RB) molecules, can be loaded in 2 min. In addition, the electrostatic-driven technique simultaneously provides the platform with both excellent PS dispersity and leak-proof properties due to the repulsion between the same-charged molecules and the electrostatic attraction between different-charged PS and silica channel walls, respectively. The as-coated silica shell with an ultrathin thickness of 12±2 nm is delicately fabricated to facilitate ultrafast PS loading and efficient energy transfer from UCNP to PS. The outside surface of the silica shell is capped with hydrophilic β-cyclodextrin, which not only enhances the dispersion of resulting nanoparticles in water but also plays a role of "gatekeeper", blocking the pore opening and preventing PS leaking. The in vitro cellular lethality experiment demonstrates that RB molecules can be activated to effectively generate singlet oxygen and kill cancer cells upon 808 nm NIR light irradiation.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1 O2 ), as an important kind of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and main therapeutic agent in photodynamic therapy (PDT), only have a half-life of 40 ns and an effective radius of 20 nm, which cause significant obstacles for improving PDT efficacy. In this work, novel upconversion nanoparticle (UCN)-based nanoplatforms are developed with a minimized distance between UCNs and a photosensitizer, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), and a controllable payload of PpIX, to enhance and control ROS production. The ability of the nanoplatform to target different subcellular organelles such as cell membrane and mitochondria is demonstrated via surface modification of the nanoplatform with different targeting ligands. The results show that the mitochondria-targeting nanoplatforms result in significantly increased capability of both tumor cell killing and inhibition of tumor growth. Subcellular targeting of nanoparticles leads to the death of cancer cells in different manners. However, the efficiency of ROS generation almost have no influence on the tumor cell viability during the period of evaluation. These findings suggest that specific subcellular targeting of the nanoplatforms enhances the PDT efficacy more effectively than the increase of ROS production, and may shed light on future novel designs of effective and controllable PDT nanoplatforms.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapy with many advantages over other therapeutic methods, but it is restricted to treat superficial cancers due to the shallow tissue penetration of visible light. The biological window in the near infrared region (NIR) offers hope to extend the penetration depth, but there is no natural NIR excited photosensitizer. Here, we report a novel photosensitizer: NaYbF4 nanoparticles (NPs). By using a 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) sensor, we show that the Yb3+ ions can absorb the NIR light and transfer energy directly to oxygen to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The efficiency of transferring energy to oxygen by NaYbF4 NPs is comparable to that of traditional photosensitizers. We have carried out PDT both in vitro and in vivo based on NaYbF4 NPs; the results demonstrate that NaYbF4 NPs are indeed an effective NIR photosensitizer, which can help extend the application of PDT to solid tumors owing to the much deeper penetration depth of NIR light.

Abstract
Although neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are slow growing, they are frequently metastatic at the time of discovery and no longer amenable to curative surgery, emphasizing the need for the development of other treatments. In this study, multifunctional upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based theranostic micelles are developed for NET-targeted and near-infrared (NIR)-controlled combination chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT), and bioimaging. The theranostic micelle is formed by individual UCNP functionalized with light-sensitive amphiphilic block copolymers poly(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl methacrylate)-polyethylene glycol (PNBMA-PEG) and Rose Bengal (RB) photosensitizers. A hydrophobic anticancer drug, AB3, is loaded into the micelles. The NIR-activated UCNPs emit multiple luminescence bands, including UV, 540 nm, and 650 nm. The UV peaks overlap with the absorption peak of photocleavable hydrophobic PNBMA segments, triggering a rapid drug release due to the NIR-induced hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic transition of the micelle core and thus enabling NIR-controlled chemotherapy. RB molecules are activated via luminescence resonance energy transfer to generate 1O2 for NIR-induced PDT. Meanwhile, the 650 nm emission allows for efficient fluorescence imaging. KE108, a true pansomatostatin nonapeptide, as an NET-targeting ligand, drastically increases the tumoral uptake of the micelles. Intravenously injected AB3-loaded UCNP-based micelles conjugated with RB and KE108-enabling NET-targeted combination chemotherapy and PDT-induce the best antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) based on photosensitizers (PSs) constructed with nanomaterials has been widely applied to treat cancer. This therapy is characterized by an improved PS accumulation in tumor regions. However, challenges, such as short penetration depth of light and low extinction coefficient of PSs, limit PDT applications. In this study, a nanocomposite consisting of NaYF4:Yb/Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCPs) conjugated with gold nanorods (Au NRs) was developed to improve the therapeutic efficiency of PDT. Methylene blue (MB) was embedded in a silica shell for plasmon-enhanced PDT. UCPs served as a light converter from near-infrared (NIR) to visible light to excite MB to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Au NRs could effectively enhance upconversion efficiency and ROS content through a localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect. Silica shell thickness was adjusted to investigate the optimized MB loading amount, ROS production capability, and efficient distance for plasmon-enhanced ROS production. The mechanism of plasmon-enhanced PDT was verified by enhancing UC luminescence intensity through the plasmonic field and by increasing the light-harvesting capability and absorption cross section of the system. This process improved the ROS generation by comparing the exchange of Au NRs to Au nanoparticles with different SPR bands. NIR-triggered nanocomposites of UCP@SiO2:MB-NRs were significantly confirmed by improving ROS generation and further modifying folic acid (FA) to develop an active component targeting OECM-1 oral cancer cells. Consequently, UCP@SiO2:MB-NRs-FA could highly produce ROS and undergo efficient PDT in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of PDT treatment by UCP@SiO2:MB-NRs-FA was evaluated via the cell apoptosis pathway. The proposed process is a promising strategy to enhance ROS production through plasmonic field enhancement and thus achieve high PDT therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated mechanism is the major cause underlying the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). The PDT procedure is based on the cascade of synergistic effects between light, a photosensitizer (PS) and oxygen, which greatly favors the spatiotemporal control of the treatment. This procedure has also evoked several unresolved challenges at different levels including (i) the limited penetration depth of light, which restricts traditional PDT to superficial tumours; (ii) oxygen reliance does not allow PDT treatment of hypoxic tumours; (iii) light can complicate the phototherapeutic outcomes because of the concurrent heat generation; (iv) specific delivery of PSs to sub-cellular organelles for exerting effective toxicity remains an issue; and (v) side effects from undesirable white-light activation and self-catalysation of traditional PSs. Recent advances in nanotechnology and nanomedicine have provided new opportunities to develop ROS-generating systems through photodynamic or non-photodynamic procedures while tackling the challenges of the current PDT approaches. In this review, we summarize the current status and discuss the possible opportunities for ROS generation for cancer therapy. We hope this review will spur pre-clinical research and clinical practice for ROS-mediated tumour treatments.

Abstract
Along with the development of science and technology, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanostructures as a new type of materials have taken their place in the field of nanomaterials. Upconversion luminescence is a nonlinear optical phenomenon, which absorbs two or more photons and emits one photon. Compared with traditional luminescence materials, upconversion nanostructures have many advantages, such as weak background interference, long lifetime, low excitation energy, and strong tissue penetration. These interesting nanostructures can be applied in anticounterfeit, solar cell, detection, bioimaging, therapy, and so on. This review is focused on the current advances in lanthanide-doped upconversion nanostructures, covering not only basic luminescence mechanism, synthesis, and modification methods but also the design and fabrication of upconversion nanostructures, like core-shell nanoparticles or nanocomposites. At last, this review emphasizes the application of upconversion nanostructure in detection and bioimaging and therapy. Learning more about the advances of upconversion nanostructures can help us better exploit their excellent performance and use them in practice.

Abstract
Following the "detect-to-treat" strategy, by biological engineering, the emerging upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have become one of the most promising inorganic nanomedicines, and their biomedical applications have gradually shifted from multimodal tumor imaging to highly efficient cancer therapy. The past few years have witnessed a three-stage development of UCNP-based nanomedicines. On one hand, UCNPs can optimize each clinical treatment tool (chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiotherapy (RT)) by controlled drug delivery/release, near-infrared (NIR)-excited deep PDT, and radiosensitization, respectively, all of which contribute greatly to the optimized treatment efficacy along with minimized side effects. On the other hand, several individual treatments can be "smartly" integrated into a single UCNP-based nanotheranostic system for multimodal synergetic therapy, which can further improve the overall therapeutic effectiveness. Especially, UCNPs provide more-effective strategies for overcoming tumor hypoxia, thus leading to an ideal treatment efficacy for complete eradication of solid tumors. Finally, the critical issues regarding the future development of UCNPs are discussed to promote the clinic-translational applications of UCNP-based nanomedicines, as well as realization of our "one drug fits all" dream.

Abstract
Achieving effective treatment of deep-seated tumors is a major challenge for traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to difficulties in delivering light into the subsurface. Thanks to their great tissue penetration, X-rays hold the potential to become an ideal excitation source for activating photosensitizers (PS) that accumulate in deep tumor tissue. Recently, a wide variety of nanoparticles have been developed for this purpose. The nanoparticles are designed as carriers for loading various kinds of PSs and can facilitate the activation process by transferring energy harvested from X-ray irradiation to the loaded PS. In this review, we focus on recent developments of nanoscintillators with high energy transfer efficiency, their rational designs, as well as potential applications in next-generation PDT. Treatment of deep-seated tumors by using radioisotopes as an internal light source will also be discussed.
