Abstract
Non-invasive control of the drug molecules accessibility is a key issue in improving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some studies have explored the spatiotemporal control by light as a peripheral stimulus. Phototriggered drug delivery systems (PTDDSs) have received interest in the past decade among biological researchers due to their capability the control drug release. To this end, a wide range of phototrigger molecular structures participated in the DDSs to serve additional efficiency and a high-conversion release of active fragments under light irradiation. Up to now, several categories of PTDDSs have been extended to upgrade the performance of controlled delivery of therapeutic agents based on well-known phototrigger molecular structures like o-nitrobenzyl, coumarinyl, anthracenyl, quinolinyl, o-hydroxycinnamate and hydroxyphenacyl, where either of one endows an exclusive feature and distinct mechanistic approach. This review conveys the design, photochemical properties and essential mechanism of the most important phototriggered structures for the release of single and dual (similar or different) active molecules that have the ability to quickly reason of the large variety of dynamic biological phenomena for biomedical applications like photo-regulated drug release, synergistic outcomes, real-time monitoring, and biocompatibility potential.

Abstract
Phototherapy is a new treatment means for cancer which can reduce the side effects of traditional cancer treatments to humans. Urea is a naturally occurring metabolite in the human body. Some studies have shown that it can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and cause oxidative stress. In order to explore the application of urea in enhancing the phototherapy effect, we synthesized a new structure photosensitizer (BODIPY-I-35) with good phototherapeutic effect and encapsulated it in liposomes. Compared with free BODIPY-I-35, water-soluble nanoliposomes (LipoBOD) produced a huge redshift (> 122 nm) of fluorescence emission in solution. When LipoBOD was irradiated with 808 nm laser (1 W/cm2) for 10 min, the temperature contrast increased by 20 °C, which was 4 times higher than free BODIPY-I-35. Confocal microscopy showed appreciable accumulation of LipoBOD in HeLa cells. In addition, when LipoBOD was incubated with urea in HeLa cells, we found that urea not only obviously enhanced the production of ROS, but also increased the apoptosis of HeLa cells. The synergistic effect of LipoBOD (20 μg/mL, at BODIPY-I-35-eq) with urea (250 mM) showed significantly higher phototoxicity than LipoBOD alone. Low dose can reduce the cell viability to 10%. Therefore, we have obtained an effective method of using urea to enhance the phototherapy effect.

Abstract
Smart polymer-based micro/nanoassemblies have emerged as a promising alternative for transporting and delivering a myriad of cargo. Cargo encapsulation into (or linked to) polymeric micro/nanocarrier (PC) strategies may help to conserve cargo activity and functionality when interacting with its surroundings in its journey to the target. PCs for cargo phototriggering allow for excellent spatiotemporal control via irradiation as an external stimulus, thus regulating the delivery kinetics of cargo and potentially increasing its therapeutic effect. Micromotors based on PCs offer an accelerated cargo-medium interaction for biomedical, environmental, and many other applications. This review collects the recent achievements in PC development based on nanomicelles, nanospheres, and nanopolymersomes, among others, with enhanced properties to increase cargo protection and cargo release efficiency triggered by ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, including light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for propulsion, cargo transport, biosensing, and photo-thermal therapy. We emphasize the challenges of positioning PCs as drug delivery systems, as well as the outstanding opportunities of light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for practical applications.

Abstract
Over the past decade, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been extensively explored. However, the average tumour enrichment ratio of passive targeting systems corresponds to only 0.7% due to the nonspecific uptake by normal organs and poor selective retention in tumours. The therapeutic specificity and efficacy of nano-medicine can be enhanced by equipping it with active targeting ligands, although it is not possible to ignore the recognition and clearance of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) caused by targeting ligands. Given the complexity of the systemic circulation environment, it is necessary to carefully consider the hydrophobicity, immunogenicity, and electrical property of targeting ligands. Thus, for an active targeting system, the targeting ligands should be shielded in blood circulation and de-shielded in the tumour region for enhanced tumour accumulation. In this study, strategies for improving the performance of active targeting ligands are introduced. The strategies include irreversible shielding, reversible shielding, and methods of modulating the multivalent interactions between ligands and receptors. Furthermore, challenges and future developments in designing active ligand targeting systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Owing to the complex and still not fully understood physiological environment, the development of traditional nanosized drug delivery systems is very challenging for precision cancer therapy. It is very difficult to control the in vivo distribution of nanoparticles after intravenous injection. The ideal drug nanocarriers should not only have stealth surface for prolonged circulation time but also possess enhanced cellular internalization in tumor sites. Unfortunately, the stealth surface and enhanced cellular uptake seem contradictory to each other. How to integrate the two opposite aspects into one system is a very herculean but meaningful task. As an alternative drug delivery strategy, chameleon-like drug delivery systems were developed to achieve long circulation time while maintaining enhanced cancer cell uptake. Such drug nanocarriers can "turn off" their internalization ability during circulation. However, the enhanced cellular uptake can be readily activated upon arriving at tumor tissues. In this way, stealth surface and enhanced uptake are of dialectical unity in drug delivery. In this review, we focus on the surface engineering of drug nanocarriers to obtain simultaneous stealth surfaces in circulation and enhanced uptake in tumors. The current strategies and ongoing developments, including programmed tumor-targeting strategies and some specific zwitterionic surfaces, will be discussed in detail.
