Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease, affecting more than 595 million people worldwide. Nanomaterials possess superior physicochemical properties and can influence pathological processes due to their unique structural features, such as size, surface interface, and photoelectromagnetic thermal effects. Unlike traditional OA treatments, which suffer from short half-life, low stability, poor bioavailability, and high systemic toxicity, nanotherapeutic strategies for OA offer longer half-life, enhanced targeting, improved bioavailability, and reduced systemic toxicity. These advantages effectively address the limitations of traditional therapies. This review aims to inspire researchers to develop more multifunctional nanomaterials and promote their practical application in OA treatment.

Abstract
Background: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is recognized as a promising cancer treatment. Recently, copper sulfide nanostructures have been extensively employed as Fenton-like reagents that catalyze the formation of acutely toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, CDT therapeutic potency is restricted by the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as insufficient amounts of hydrogen peroxide, excessive glutathione levels, etc. To address these disadvantages, glucose oxidase (GOx) or catalase (CAT) can be utilized to enhance CDT, while low therapeutic efficacy still inhibits their future applications. Our previous study revealed that mild photothermal effect could boost the CDT catalytic effectiveness as well as GOx enzyme activity over a range. Results: We engineered and constructed a hollow CuS nanoplatform loaded with GOx and CAT, coating with macrophage membranes (M@GOx-CAT@CuS NPs). The nanoplatforms allowed enhancement of the reactive oxygen species creation rate and GOx catalytic activeness of CDT through mild phototherapy directed by photoacoustic imaging. After actively targeting vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in cancer cells mediated by macrophage membrane coating, M@GOx-CAT@CuS NPs released GOx and CAT under near-infrared irradiation. GOx catalyzed the formation of H2O2 and gluconic acid with glucose, creating a better catalytic environment for CDT. Meanwhile, CAT-catalyzed H2O2 decomposition to generate sufficient oxygen, appropriately alleviating the oxygen shortage in the TME. In addition, starvation effects decreased adenosine triphosphate levels and further underregulated heat shock protein expression to reduce the heat resistance of tumor cells, resulting in a better mild phototherapy outcome. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the newly developed M@GOx-CAT@CuS nanoplatform has remarkable synergistic anticancer therapeutic effects. Conclusion: The cascade reaction-enhanced biomimetic nanoplatform opens up a new avenue for precision tumor diagnostic and therapeutic research.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has been extensively explored for therapeutic and diagnostic applications in recent years, owing to its numerous advantages such as controlled release, targeted delivery, and efficient protection of encapsulated agents. Integration of microneedle technologies with nanomedicine has the potential to address current limitations in nanomedicine for drug delivery including relatively low therapeutic efficacy and poor patient compliance and enable theragnostic uses. In this Review, we first summarize representative types of nanomedicine and describe their broad applications. We then outline the current challenges faced by nanomedicine, with a focus on issues related to physical barriers, biological barriers, and patient compliance. Next, we provide an overview of microneedle systems, including their definition, manufacturing strategies, drug release mechanisms, and current advantages and challenges. We also discuss the use of microneedle-mediated nanomedicine systems for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Finally, we provide a perspective on the current status and future prospects for microneedle-mediated nanomedicine for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Tumor recurrence, which happens as a result of persisting tumor cells and minor lesions after treatments like surgery and chemotherapy, is a major problem in oncology. Herein, a strategy to combat this issue by utilize a theranostic nanovaccine composed of photonic HCuS. This nanovaccine aims to eradicate cancer cells and their traces while also preventing tumor recurrence via optimizing the photothermal immune impact. Successful membrane targeting allows for the introduction of new therapeutic agents into the tumor cells. Together with co-encapsulated Toll-Like Receptors (TLR7/8) agonist R848 for activating T cells and maturing DCs, the combined effects of HCuS and ICG function as photothermal agents that generate heat in the presence of NIR light. Photothermal-mediated immunotherapy with therapeutic modalities proved successful in killing tumor cells. By activating the immune system, this new photonic nanovaccine greatly increases immunogenic cell death (ICD), kills tumor cells, and prevents their recurrence.

Abstract
Due to its involvement in skin maintenance and repair, topical administration of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is an interesting strategy for therapeutic purposes. We have formulated and characterized a topical rhGH-loaded liposomal formulation (rhGH-Lip) and evaluated its safety, biological activity, and preventive role against UVB-induced skin damage. The rhGH-Lip had an average size and zeta potential of 63 nm and -33 mV, respectively, with 70 % encapsulation efficiency. The formulation was stable at 4 °C for at least one year. The SDS-PAGE and circular dichroism results showed no structural alterations in rhGH upon encapsulation. In vitro, studies in HaCaT, HFFF-2, and Ba/F3-rhGHR cell lines confirmed the safety and biological activity of rhGH-Lip. Franz diffusion cell study showed increased rhGH skin permeation compared to free rhGH. Animal studies in nude mice showed that liposomal rhGH prevented UVB-induced epidermal hyperplasia, angiogenesis, wrinkle formation, and collagen loss, as well as improving skin moisture. The results of this study show that rhGH-Lip is a stable, safe, and effective skin delivery system and has potential as an anti-wrinkle formulation for topical application. This study also provides a new method for the topical delivery of proteins and merits further investigation.

Abstract
Skin-mediated drug delivery methods currently are receiving significant attention as a promising approach for the enhanced delivery of drugs through the skin. Skin-mediated drug delivery offers the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional drug delivery methods, including oral administration and intravenous injection. The challenges associated with drug permeation through layers of skin, which act as a major barrier, are explored, and strategies to overcome these limitations are discussed in detail. This review categorizes skin-mediated drug delivery methods based on the means of increasing drug permeation, and it provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms and techniques associated with these methods. In addition, recent advancements in the application of skin-mediated drug delivery are presented. The review also outlines the limitations of ongoing research and suggests future perspectives of studies regarding the skin-mediated delivery of drugs.

Abstract
Inducing cell migration from the edges to the center of a wound, promoting angiogenesis, and controlling bacterial infection are very important for diabetic wound healing. Incorporating growth factors and antibiotics into hydrogels for wound dressing is considered a potential strategy to meet these requirements. However, some present drawbacks greatly slow down their development toward application, such as the short half-life and high price of growth factors, low antibiotic efficiency against drug-resistant bacteria, insufficient ability of hydrogels to promote cell migration, etc. Deferoxamine (DFO) can upregulate the expression of HIF-1α, thus stimulating the secretion of angiogenesis-related endogenous growth factors. Copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles possess excellent antibacterial performance combined with photothermal therapy (PTT). Herein, DFO and CuS nanoparticles are incorporated into a biomimetic hydrogel, which mimics the structure and function of the extracellular matrix (ECM), abbreviated as DFO/CuS-ECMgel. This biomimetic hydrogel is expected to be able to promote cell adhesion and migration, be degraded by cell-secreted matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and then release DFO and CuS nanoparticles at the wound site to exert their therapeutic effects. As a result, the three crucial requirements for diabetic wound healing, "beneficial for cell adhesion and migration, promoting angiogenesis, effectively killing drug-resistant bacteria," can be achieved simultaneously.

Abstract
Rutin, a flavonoid glycoside phytochemical compound, has a remarkable antiobesity effect. However, its therapeutic potential is hindered by its poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability. In this study, rutin was loaded into liposomes (LR) through the self-assembly of lecithin and cholesterol. It was discovered that liposomes improved the water solubility and cellular uptake of rutin in adipocytes. These rutin-loaded liposomes were then incorporated into a microneedle patch (MP) system formed by polyvinylpyrrolidone and poly(vinyl alcohol), and the MP-LR showed an increased release percentage in the adipose tissue microenvironment of pH 6.5 and achieved local delivery of rutin into adipocytes. Next, the therapeutic potentials of rutin, LR, and MP-LR were investigated in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mouse model. The MP-LR formulation decreased the weight of the HFD mice the most significantly. The antilipogenesis mechanisms of MP-LR are downregulating the lipid synthesis-related proteins (PPAR γ and C/EBP α) in adipocytes and promoting the expression of the beige adipogenesis-related proteins (UCP 1 and Cyt C). The MP systems further promote the local penetration of LR into the adipose tissue specifically, which again elevates their antiobesity effect. Overall, this study suggests that MP-delivered liposome-based formulation is a promising approach to enhance the antiobesity efficacy of antilipogenesis bioactive compounds.

Abstract
As known, the benefits of photothermal therapy (PTT) are greatly limited by the heat tolerance of cancer cells resulting from overexpressed heat shock proteins (HSPs). Then HSPs further trigger the formation of stress granules (SGs) that regulate protein expression and cell viability under various stress conditions. Inhibition of SG formation can sensitize tumor cells to PTT. Herein, we developed PEGylated pH (low) insertion peptide (PEG-pHLIP)-modified hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (HCuS NPs) encapsulating the SG inhibitor ISRIB, with the phase-change material lauric acid (LA) as a gate-keeper, to construct a pH-driven and NIR photo-responsive controlled smart drug delivery system (IL@H-PP). The nanomedicine could specifically target slightly acidic tumor sites. Upon irradiation, IL@H-PP realized PTT, and the light-controlled release of ISRIB could effectively inhibit the formation of PTT-induced SG to sensitize tumor cells to PTT, thereby increasing the antitumor effect and inducing potent immunogenic cell death (ICD). Moreover, IL@H-PP could promote the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), repolarizing them towards the M1 phenotype and remodeling the immunosuppressive microenvironment. In vitro/vivo results revealed the potential of PTT combined with SG inhibitors, which provides a new paradigm for antitumor and anti-metastases.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoagents with photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) functions have shown great promise for cancer treatment, while the design and synthesis of efficient nanoagents remain a challenge. To realize nanozyme-enhanced PDT-PTT combined therapy, herein we have synthesized the Ce6@CuS-Pt/PEG nanoplatforms as a model of efficient nanoagents. Hollow CuS nanospheres with an average diameter of ∼ 200 nm are first synthesized through vulcanization using Cu2O as the precursor. Subsequently, CuS nanospheres are surface-decorated with Pt nanoparticles (NPs) as nanozyme via an in-situ reduction route, followed by modifying the DSPE-PEG5000 and loading the photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6). The obtained Ce6@CuS-Pt/PEG NPs exhibit high photothermal conversion efficiency (43.08%), good singlet oxygen (1O2) generation ability, and good physiological stability. In addition, Ce6@CuS-Pt/PEG NPs show good catalytic performance due to the presence of Pt nanozyme, which can effectively convert H2O2 to O2 and significantly enhance the production of cytotoxic 1O2. When Ce6@CuS-Pt/PEG NPs dispersion is injected into mice, the tumors can be wholly suppressed owing to nanozyme-enhanced PDT-PTT combined therapy, providing better therapeutic effects compared to single-mode phototherapy. Thus, the present Ce6@CuS-Pt/PEG NPs can act as an efficient multifunctional nanoplatform for tumor therapy.

Abstract
The advancement and popularity of transdermal drug delivery (TDD) based on the physical transdermal enhancement technique (PTET) has opened a new paradigm for local tumor treatment. The drug can be directly delivered to the tumor site through the skin, thus avoiding the toxic side effects caused by the first-pass effect and achieving high patient compliance. Further development of PTETs has provided many options for antitumor drugs and laid the foundation for future applications of wearable closed-loop targeting drug delivery systems. In this highlight, the different types of PTETs and related mechanisms, and applications of PTET-related tumor detection and therapy are highlighted. According to their type and characteristics, PTETs are categorized as follows: (1) iontophoresis, (2) electroporation, (3) ultrasound, (4) thermal ablation, and (5) microneedles. PTET-related applications in the local treatment of tumors are categorized as follows: (1) melanoma, (2) breast tumor, (3) squamous cell carcinoma, (4) cervical tumor, and (5) others. The challenges and future prospects of existing PTETs are also discussed. This highlight will provide guidance for the design of PTET-based wearable closed-loop targeting drug delivery systems and personalized therapy for tumors.

Ultra-small NIR-Responsive Nanotheranostic Agent for Targeted Photothermal Ablation Induced Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs) from Post-PTT of Tumor Cells Activate Immunogenic Cell Death. Nanotheranostics 2023; 7:41-60. [PMID: 36593797 PMCID: PMC9760365 DOI: 10.7150/ntno.76720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Theranostic nanoparticles (TNPs) is an efficient avenue that culminates both diagnosis and therapy into cancer treatment. Herein, we have formulated a theranostic nanocomposite (NC) with CuS being the ultra-small core component. To ensure stability to the NC, PEI was added which is a vital anchoring group polymer, especially on sulfide surfaces, and adds quality by being a better stabilizer and reducing agent. Additionally, to add stability, specificity, and added photothermal efficiency to the fabricated NC. In addition, encapsulation of indocyanine green (ICG), an efficient NIR absorber, and Folic acid (FA) were conjugated systematically, characterized, and analyzed for photo-stability. The photothermal conversion efficiency of the novel NC (CuS-PEI-ICG-FA) was analyzed at 808 nm, where the NC efficiently converted light energy to heat energy. The NC was also tested for hemocompatibility to clarify and also determined biocompatibility. Surprisingly, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from post-PTT of tumor cells activate immunogenic cell death (ICD) for tumor-specific immune responses. The deserving photothermal performance and photo-stability makes the NC an ideal platform for photoacoustic imaging (PAI). A superior contrast was observed for PAI in a concentration-dependent manner enhancing the level of penetration into tissues, thereby better imaging. On account of this study, the newly formulated NC could be utilized as a "nanotheranostic" designed for therapeutic and image diagnostic agent of cancer biomedical applications.

Abstract
Herein, we report the colloidal synthesis of hollow dual-plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) using Au@Cu2O core-shell NPs as templates and exploiting the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. In our synthesis, we used organic compounds as a source of chalcogenide ions for an anion exchange reaction at elevated temperatures using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping reagent to transform the solid Cu2O shell into a hollow copper chalcogenide shell. The resulting structures possess different features depending on the chalcogenide precursor employed. TEM images confirm the complete transformation of Au@Cu2O templates when 1,1-dimethyl-2-selenourea was added and the formation of hollow Au@Cu2-x Se nanostructures. In contrast, residues of Cu2O attached to the Au core were present when thioacetamide was used for the synthesis of Au@Cu2-x S with all other conditions kept the same. The divergence of architectures caused distinct optical properties of Au@Cu2-x S and Au@Cu2-x Se NPs. This synthetic approach is an effective pathway for maneuvering the size of interior voids by varying the concentration of chalcogenide ions in the reaction mixture. The insights gained from this work will enrich the synthetic toolbox at the nanoscale and guide us on the rational design of multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles with precisely controlled hollow interiors and sophisticated geometries, further enhancing our capabilities to fine-tune the electronic, optical, compositional, and physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Skin has a preventive role against any damage raised by harmful microorganisms and physical and chemical assaults from the external environment that could affect the body's internal organs. Dermis represents the main section of the skin, and its contribution to skin physiology is critical due to its diverse cellularity, vasculature, and release of molecular mediators involved in the extracellular matrix maintenance and modulation of the immune response. Skin structure and complexity limit the transport of substances, promoting the study of different types of nanoparticles that penetrate the skin layers under different mechanisms intended for skin illness treatments and dermo-cosmetic applications. In this work, we present a detailed morphological description of the dermis in terms of its structures and resident cells. Furthermore, we analyze the role of the dermis in regulating skin homeostasis and its alterations in pathophysiological conditions, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. Additionally, we describe the use of nanoparticles for skin illness treatments focused on dermis release and promote the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an integrative strategy for skin treatments.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NM) arouse interest in various fields of science and industry due to their composition-tunable properties and the ease of modification. They appear currently as components of many consumer products such as sunscreen, dressings, sports clothes, surface-cleaning agents, computer devices, paints, as well as pharmaceutical and cosmetics formulations. The use of NPs in products for topical applications improves the permeation/penetration of the bioactive compounds into deeper layers of the skin, providing a depot effect with sustained drug release and specific cellular and subcellular targeting. Nanocarriers provide advances in dermatology and systemic treatments. Examples are a non-invasive method of vaccination, advanced diagnostic techniques, and transdermal drug delivery. The mechanism of action of NPs, efficiency of skin penetration, and potential threat to human health are still open and not fully explained. This review gives a brief outline of the latest nanotechnology achievements in products used in topical applications to prevent and treat skin diseases. We highlighted aspects such as the penetration of NPs through the skin (influence of physical-chemical properties of NPs, the experimental models for skin penetration, methods applied to improve the penetration of NPs through the skin, and methods applied to investigate the skin penetration by NPs). The review summarizes various therapies using NPs to diagnose and treat skin diseases (melanoma, acne, alopecia, vitiligo, psoriasis) and anti-aging and UV-protectant nano-cosmetics.

Abstract
Metal sulfide nanoparticles have recently attracted much attention due to their unique physical and functional properties. Metal sulfide nanoparticles used as optoelectronic and biomedical materials in the past decades are promising for making functional nanocomposite films due to their low toxicity and strong antibacterial activity. Recently, copper sulfide and zinc sulfide nanomaterials have been used to produce food packaging films for active packaging. Metal sulfide nanoparticles added as nanofillers are attracting attention in packaging applications due to their excellent potential to improve mechanical, barrier properties, and antibacterial activity. This review covers the fabrication process and important applications of metal sulfide nanoparticles. The development of metal sulfides reinforcing mainly copper sulfide and zinc sulfide nanomaterials as multifunctional nanofillers in bio-based films for active packaging applications has been comprehensively reviewed. As the recognition of metal sulfide nanoparticles as a functional filler increases, the development and application potential of active packaging films using them is expected to increase.

Abstract
Activated fibroblast-like synovial (FLS) cells are regarded as an important target for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment via starvation therapy mediated by glucose oxidase (GOx). However, the hypoxic RA-FLS environment greatly reduces the oxidation process of glucose and leads to a poor therapeutic effect of the GOx-based starvation therapy. In this work, we designed a hollow mesoporous copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs)-based smart GOx/atovaquone (ATO) codelivery system (named as V-HAGC) targeting RA-FLS cells to realize a O2-economized dual energy inhibition strategy to solve the limitation of GOx-based starvation therapy. V-HAGC armed with dual multi-stimuli-responsive "doorkeepers" can guard drugs intelligently. Once under the stimulation of photothermal and acidic conditions at the targeted area, the dual intelligent responsive "doors" would orderly open to realize the controllable release of drugs. Besides, the efficacy of V-HAGC would be much improved by the additional chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) stimulated by CuS NPs. Meanwhile, the upregulated H2O2 and acid levels by starvation therapy would promote the Fenton-like reaction of CuS NPs under O2-economized dual energy inhibition, which could enhance the PTT and CDT efficacy as well. In vitro and in vivo evaluations revealed V-HAGC with much improved efficacy of this combination therapy for RA. In general, the smart V-HAGC based on the O2-economized dual energy inhibition strategy combined with enhanced CDT and PTT has the potential to be an alternative methodology in the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Background Glucose oxidase (GOx)-based starvation therapy is a new cancer treatment strategy. However, the characteristics such as limited curative effect and hypoxic tumor environment hinder its further application seriously. Methods Herein, doxorubicin (DOX) loaded in hollow mesoporous copper sulfide (HMCuS) nanoparticles assembled with manganese dioxide (HMMD) as nanoshell was prepared. We developed a targeted enhanced cancer treatment method to camouflage HMMD by GOx-functionalized platelet (PLT) membranes (HMMD@PG). Results GOx can be specially transported to the tumor site with PLT membrane for effective starvation treatment. Glucose and oxygen (O2) in the tumor were converted to H2O2 under the catalysis of GOx. HMMD can catalyze H2O2 to produce O2 and consume glutathione (GSH) in time, which regulates the tumor microenvironment (TME) and improves the adverse conditions of anti-tumor. In addition, DOX encapsulated in HMCuS-MnO2 release was accelerated from the nanoparticles after the “gatekeeper” MnO2 is consumed. The study of anti-tumor mechanism shows that the remarkable tumor suppressive ability of HMMD@PG comes from the three peaks synergy of starvation treatment, photothermal treatment (PTT), and chemotherapy. This nanoplatform disguised by PLT membrane has significant tumor inhibition ability, good biocompatibility and almost has no side effects in main organs. Conclusion This work broadens the application mode of GOx and shows the new development of a multi-mode collaborative processing system of nanoplatforms based on cell membrane camouflage.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy is revolutionary in oncology and hematology. However, a low response rate restricts the clinical benefits of this therapy owing to inadequate T lymphocyte infiltration and low delivery efficiency of immunotherapeutic drugs. Herein, an intelligent nanovehicle (folic acid (FA)/1-(4-(aminomethyl) benzyl)-2-butyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine (IMDQ)-oxaliplatin (F/IMO)@CuS) armed with multifunctional navigation is designed for the accurate delivery of cargoes to tumor cells and dendritic cells (DCs), respectively. The nanovehicle is based on a near infrared-responsive inorganic CuS nanoparticles, acting as a photosensitizer and carrier of the chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin, and enters tumor cells owing to the presence of folic acid on the surface of CuS upon intratumoral injection. Furthermore, a toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 agonist-conjugated polymer, anchored on the surface of CuS, is modified with mannose to bind with DCs in the tumor microenvironment. Upon exposure to laser irradiation, nanovehicles disassemble, releasing oxaliplatin, to ablate tumor cells and amplify immunogenic cell death in combination with photothermal therapy. Mannose-modified polymer-TLR7/8 agonist conjugates are subsequently exposed, leading to the activation of DCs and proliferation of T cells. Collectively, these intelligent nanovehicles reduce tumor burden, exert a robust antitumor immune response, and generate long-term immune protection to prevent tumor recurrence.

[PMID: 35242741 PMCID: PMC8886246 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.836795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The biocompatible nanosuspension of CuS nanoparticles (NPs) using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a capping agent was prepared using a two-stage mechanochemical approach. CuS NPs were firstly synthetized by a high-energy planetary ball milling in 15 min by milling elemental precursors. The stability of nanoparticles in the simulated body fluids was studied, revealing zero copper concentration in the leachates, except simulated lung fluid (SLF, 0.015%) and simulated gastric fluid (SGF, 0.078%). Albumin sorption on CuS NPs was studied in static and dynamic modes showing a higher kinetic rate for the dynamic mode. The equilibrium state of adsorption was reached after 90 min with an adsorption capacity of 86 mg/g compared to the static mode when the capacity 59 mg/g was reached after 2 h. Then, a wet stirred media milling in a solution of BSA was introduced to yield the CuS-BSA nanosuspension, being stable for more than 10 months, as confirmed by photon cross-correlation spectroscopy. The fluorescent properties of the nanosuspension were confirmed by photoluminescence spectroscopy, which also showed that tryptophan present in the BSA could be closer to the binding site of CuS than the tyrosine residue. The biological activity was determined by in vitro tests on selected cancer and non-tumor cell lines. The results have shown that the CuS-BSA nanosuspension inhibits the metabolic activity of the cells as well as decreases their viability upon photothermal ablation.

Abstract
The on-demand administration of anaesthetic drugs can be a promising alternative for chronic pain management. To further improve the efficacy of drug delivery vectors, high drug loadings combined with a spatiotemporal control on the release can not only relief the pain according to patient's needs, but also improve the drawbacks of conventional burst release delivery systems. In this study, a hybrid nanomaterial was developed by loading bupivacaine nanocrystals (BNCs) into oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA)-based thermoresponsive nanogels and coupling them to NIR-absorbing biodegradable copper sulphide nanoparticles (CuS NPs). Those CuS NPs were surface modified with polyelectrolytes using layer-by-layer techniques to be efficiently attached to the surface of nanogels by means of supramolecular interactions. The encapsulation of bupivacaine in the form of nanocrystals allowed to achieve CuS@BNC-nanogels having drug loadings as high as 65.5 wt%. The nanocrystals acted as long-lasting drug reservoirs, leading to an elevated localized drug content, which was useful for their application in prolonged pain relief. The CuS@BNC-nanogels exhibited favorable photothermal transducing properties upon NIR-light irradiation. The photothermal effect granted by the CuS NPs triggered the nano-crystallized drug release to be boosted by the collapse of the thermoresponsive nanogels upon heating. Remote control was achieved for on-demand release at a specific time and place, indicating their potential use as an externally activated triggerable drug-delivery system. Furthermore, cell viability tests and flow cytometry analysis were performed showing satisfactory cytocompatibility in the dose-ranging study having a subcytotoxic concentration of 0.05 mg/mL for CuS@BNC-nanogels. This remotely activated nanoplatform is a promising strategy for long-lasting controlled analgesia and a potential alternative for clinical pain management.

Abstract
The synthesis of multifunctional photothermal nanoagents for antibiotic loading and release remains a challenging task in nanomedicine. Herein, we investigated a simple, low-cost strategy for the preparation of CuS-BSA nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with a natural enzyme, lysozyme, as an antibacterial drug model under physiological conditions. The successful development of CuS-BSA NPs was confirmed by various characterization tools such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Lysozyme loading onto CuS-BSA NPs was evaluated by UV/vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering measurements. The CuS-BSA/lysozyme nanocomposite was investigated as an effective means for bacterial elimination of B. subtilis (Gram-positive) and E. coli (Gram-negative), owing to the combined photothermal heating performance of CuS-BSA and lysozyme release under 980 nm (0.7 W cm-2) illumination, which enhances the antibiotic action of the enzyme. Besides the photothermal properties, CuS-BSA/lysozyme nanocomposite possesses photodynamic activity induced by NIR illumination, which further improves its bacterial killing efficiency. The biocompatibility of CuS-BSA and CuS-BSA/Lysozyme was elicited in vitro on HeLa and U-87 MG cancer cell lines, and immortalized human hepatocyte (IHH) cell line. Considering these advantages, CuS-BSA NPs can be used as a suitable drug carrier and hold promise to overcome the limitations of traditional antibiotic therapy.

Abstract
Synergistic antimicrobial effects were observed for copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles together with indocyanine green (ICG) in the elimination of wild type pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) and also opportunistic fungal infective yeast (Candida albicans ATCC 10231). Furthermore, large antibacterial effects were observed for clinical isolates of Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) PFGE strain-type USA300. This efficient antimicrobial action was attributed to the combined extra- and intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species upon light irradiation. Instead of the use of visible-light for the activation of common photosensitizers, both ICG and CuS nanoparticles can be activated in the near infrared (NIR)-region of the electromagnetic spectrum and therefore, superior tissue penetration would be expected in a potential elimination of pathogenic microorganisms not only on the skin but also in the soft tissue. In the different bacteria studied a 3-log reduction in the bacterial counts was achieved after only 6 min of NIR irradiation and treatment with ICG or CuS alone at concentrations of 40 and 160 µg mL-1, respectively. A maximum bactericidal effect against S. aureus and USA300 strains was obtained for the combination of both photosensitizers at the same concentration. Regarding P. aeruginosa, a 4-log reduction in the CFU was observed for the combination of CuS and ICG at various concentrations. In Candida albicans the combination of both ICG and CuS and light irradiation showed an antimicrobial dose-dependent effect with the reduction of at least 3-log in the cell counts for the combination of ICG + CuS at reduced concentrations. The observed antimicrobial effect was solely attributed to a photodynamic effect and any photothermal effect was avoided to discard any potential thermal injury in a potential clinical application. The generation of reactive oxygen species upon near infrared-light irradiation for those photosensitizers used was measured either alone or in combination. The cytocompatibility of the proposed materials at the doses used in photodynamic therapy was also demonstrated in human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes by cell culturing and flow cytometry studies.

Abstract
This paper presents the design of a new type of intelligent and versatile all-in-one therapeutic nanoplatform for the co-delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and photosensitizers to facilitate multimodal antitumor treatment; the system is based on hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified manganese dioxide (MnO2)-enveloped hollow porous copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles (CuS@MnO2/HA NPs). In this system, a CuS inner shell allows for the co-loading of doxorubicin (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG) and induces photothermal effects, and a biodegradable MnO2 external shell affords on-demand tumor microenvironment (TME)-triggered release and catalase- andFenton-like activities. Moreover, the HA modification endows the system with a CD44 receptor-mediated tumor-targeting property. The formulated DOX and ICG co-loaded CuS@MnO2/HA (DOX/ICG-CuS@MnO2/HA) NPs were found to exhibit excellent photothermal performance both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, DOX/ICG-CuS@MnO2/HA NPs were found to display both TME and near-infrared (NIR)-responsive controlled release properties. The NPs also have a superior reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity due to the combination of enhanced ICG-induced singlet oxygen and CuS@MnO2-mediated hydroxyl radicals. The cellular uptake, fluorescence imaging property, cytotoxicity, and thermal imaging of these NPs were also evaluated. In tumor-bearing mice, the DOX/ICG-CuS@MnO2/HA NPs displayeda superior antitumor efficacy (2.57-fold) as compared with free DOX. Therefore, the developed DOX/ICG-CuS@MnO2/HA NPs have a great potential for use as an all-in-one nanotherapeutic agent for the efficient and precise induction of chemo/photothermal/photodynamic/chemodynamic therapy with superior antitumor efficacy and fewer side effects.

Versatile precursor-dependent copper sulfide nanoparticles as a multifunctional catalyst for the photocatalytic removal of water pollutants and the synthesis of aromatic aldehydes and NH-triazoles.

Abstract
A series of copper sulfide (CS) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized just by varying the amount of the sulfur precursor and have been explored for the first time as a three-way heterogeneous catalyst in the photocatalytic oxidation of a number of aromatic alcohols, photocatalytic degradation and the reduction of water pollutants, and the facile synthesis of pharmaceutically important moiety 4-aryl-NH-1,2,3-triazoles. The green and novel protocol was successfully developed for the synthesis of covellite (CuS, Cu2+) and the covellite-villamaninite (CuS-CuS2) (copper in Cu2+, Cu1+) phases of copper sulfide, employing EDTA both as the chelating and capping agent via a simple precipitation method at room temperature using water as the solvent. A blue shift in the absorption spectra and band gap in the range of 2.02-2.07 eV prompted the investigation of the as-synthesized CS nanoparticles as the photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. In the absence of any oxidizing or reducing agent, covellite CuS nanoparticles showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and the reduction of carcinogenic and mutagenic Cr(vi) to non-toxic Cr(iii). Interestingly, the mixed phase of CS (CuS-CuS2), where Cu is present in both +1 and +2 oxidation states, was found to be the most efficient catalyst compared to CuS toward the visible light-mediated selective oxidation of various benzyl alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes. However, in the synthesis of substituted NH-1,2,3-triazoles, single-phase CS nanoparticles (i.e., CuS) provided the best catalytic result. This significant outcome certainly opens up the scope for realizing the present demand of low-cost multifunctional semiconductor nano-materials, which will have a huge impact on the economy and environment when they show more than two potential applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy, assisted by local heat generation using photothermal nanoparticles (NPs), is an emerging strategy to treat tumors noninvasively. To improve treatment outcomes and to alleviate potential side effects on normal tissue cells, utilizing the optically transparent second near-infrared (NIR-II) window and actively targeting tumors are critical. Considering that mitochondria are heat sensitive and play an important role in the up-regulation of metabolic activity in tumor cells, herein we report a cascade targeting scheme that enables active photothermal ablation of tumor mitochondria. First, NIR-II absorbing CuS NPs were surface modified with the mitochondria targeting moiety (3-carboxypropyl) triphenylphosphonium bromide (TPP) and then shielded with CD44 targeting hyaluronic acid, which will only expose TPP upon reaching the tumor sites. This allowed over 90% CuS NP enrichment at tumor mitochondria, and as a result, significantly improved tumor cell photothermal ablation was observed at the cellular level. An in vivo study demonstrated enhanced tumor uptake and improved tumor growth suppression by using these cascade targeting CuS NPs as NIR-II photothermal agents.

Abstract
Despite efforts in producing nanoparticles with tightly controlled designs and specific physicochemical properties, these can undergo massive nano-bio interactions and bioprocessing upon internalization into cells. These transformations can generate adverse biological outcomes and premature loss of functional efficacy. Hence, understanding the intracellular fate of nanoparticles is a necessary prerequisite for their introduction in medicine. Among nanomaterials devoted to theranostics is copper sulfide (CuS), which provides outstanding optical properties along with easy synthesis and low cost. Herein, we performed a long-term multiscale study on the bioprocessing of hollow CuS nanoparticles (CuS NPs) and rattle-like iron oxide nanoflowers@CuS core-shell hybrids (IONF@CuS NPs) when inside stem cells and cancer cells, cultured as spheroids. In the spheroids, both CuS NPs and IONF@CuS NPs are rapidly dismantled into smaller units (day 0 to 3), and hair-like nanostructures are generated (day 9 to 21). This bioprocessing triggers an adaptation of the cellular metabolism to the internalized metals without impacting cell viability, differentiation, or oxidative stress response. Throughout the remodeling, a loss of IONF-derived magnetism is observed, but, surprisingly, the CuS photothermal potential is preserved, as demonstrated by a full characterization of the photothermal conversion across the bioprocessing process. The maintained photothermal efficiency correlated well with synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, evidencing a similar chemical phase for Cu but not for Fe over time. These findings evidence that the intracellular bioprocessing of CuS nanoparticles can reshape them into bioengineered nanostructures without reducing the photothermal function and therapeutic potential.

Ataxia telangiectasia mutated inhibitor-loaded copper sulfide nanoparticles for low-temperature photothermal therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma. Acta Biomater 2021; 127:276-286. [PMID: 33812073 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.03.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent type of primary liver cancer, and is ranked the sixth most common neoplasm and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Photothermal therapy (PTT) for thermal ablation of local tumors has recently emerged as a therapeutic strategy. However, the relatively high temperature of over 50 °C may lead to unexpected heat-related damage to tumor-adjacent normal tissues. Herein, we designed and synthesized ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibitor loaded hollow-structured CuS NPs with surface modification with anti-TGF-β antibody (CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs are highly photo-stable, can release encapsulated drugs, and increase the temperature to an effective level in a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive manner. Moreover, CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs specifically target tumors and thereby significantly inhibit tumor growth on contribution to synergistic low-temperature PTT and chemotherapy. This system not only achieved low-temperature PTT but also resulted in reduced damage to normal tissues. Modification with anti-TGF-β antibody enhanced target specificity and immune activation. The combination of PTT and ATM inhibitor showed synergistic effects and significantly attenuated the growth of the HCC via down regulation of heat shock protein (HSP). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs are a highly promising platform for targeted tumor ablation via hyperthermia-mediated tumor death with minimal damage to normal tissues at a low temperature. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We constructed ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibitor-loaded hollow-structured CuS NPs with surface modification with anti-TGF-β antibody (CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs not only achieved low-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) but also resulted in reduced damage to normal tissues and sufficient biocompatibility. The modification with anti-TGF-β antibody enhanced targeted specificity, cell endocytosis, and immune activation. In addition, the combination of PTT and ATM inhibitor synergistically attenuated the growth of the HCC via downregulation of heat shock protein (HSP). This study provided proof-of-concept for the ATM inhibitor that mediated low-temperature PTT with a potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) is an attractive method for drug delivery with convenient application, less first-pass effect, and fewer systemic side effects. Among all generations of TDDS, transdermal nanocarriers show the greatest clinical potential because of their non-invasive properties and high drug delivery efficiency. However, it is still difficult to design optimal transdermal nanocarriers to overcome the skin barrier, control drug release, and achieve targeting. Hence, surface modification becomes a promising strategy to optimize and functionalize the transdermal nanocarriers with enhanced penetration efficiency, controlled drug release profile, and targeting drug delivery. Therefore, this review summarizes the developed transdermal nanocarriers with their transdermal mechanism, and focuses on the surface modification strategies via their different functions.

Abstract
Disulfiram (DSF), a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug for the treatment of chronic alcoholism, is also used as an antitumor drug in combination with Cu2+ ions. However, studies have shown that the endogenous Cu2+ dose in tumor tissues is still insufficient to form relatively high levels of a bis(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate) copper(II) complex (denoted as Cu(DTC)2) to selectively eradicate cancer cells. Here, DSF-loaded hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (DSF@PEG-HCuSNPs) were designed to achieve tumor microenvironment (TME)-activated in situ formation of cytotoxic Cu(DTC)2 for NIR-II-induced, photonic hyperthermia-enhanced, and DSF-initiated cancer chemotherapy. The acidic TME triggered the gradual degradation of DSF@PEG-HCuSNPs, promoting the rapid release of DSF and Cu2+ ions, causing the in situ formation of cytotoxic Cu(DTC)2, to achieve efficient DSF-based chemotherapy. Additionally, DSF@PEG-HCuSNPs exhibited a notably high photothermal conversion efficiency of 23.8% at the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow, thus significantly inducing photonic hyperthermia to eliminate cancer cells. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed the effective photonic hyperthermia-induced chemotherapeutic efficacy of DSF by integrating the in situ formation of toxic Cu(DTC)2 complexes and evident temperature elevation upon NIR-II laser irradiation. Thus, this study represents a distinctive paradigm of in situ Cu2+ chelation-initiated "nontoxicity-to-toxicity" transformation for photonic hyperthermia-augmented DSF-based cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are important mediators for cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) where they can efficiently convert photon energy into heat and ablate the surrounding cancer cells with superior spatial and temporal precision. Recent decades have witnessed a booming development of numerous formulations of PTT nanoparticles that exhibit outstanding anti-tumor efficacy in preclinical studies. However, their clinical translation has been mined by safety concerns, especially their long-term impact on human body. Biodegradable nanoparticles that can be excreted after PTT, therefore, are gaining popularity due to their biocompatibility and improved safety profiles. This chapter provides an update on the progress in clearable PTT nanoparticles for cancer treatment. We discuss their design, synthesis strategy, and physicochemical properties relevant to photothermal performance. We also review their biodistribution patterns and in vivo anti-tumor efficacy, along with their degradation mechanism and clearance kinetics. Lastly, we present a brief overview of the imaging techniques to noninvasively monitor the degradation of PTT nanoparticles.

Abstract
Colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) have been recently spotlighted as building blocks for various nanostructured devices. Their collective properties have been exhibited by arranging them on a substrate to form assembled NPs. In particular, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is an emerging fabrication method for such nanostructured films. To maximize the benefits of this method, further studies are required to fully elucidate the key parameters that influence the NP deposition. Herein, two key parameters are examined, namely: (i) the aging of colloidal NPs and (ii) the charge formation by surface ligands. The aging of Cu2-xS NPs changes the charge states, thus leading to different NP deposition behaviors. The SEM images of NP films, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential results demonstrated that the charge control and restoration of interparticle interactions for aged NPs were achieved via simple ligand engineering. The charge control of colloidal NPs was found to be more dominant than the influence of aging, which can alter the surface charges of the NPs. The present results thus reveal that the charge formation on the colloidal NPs, which depends on the surface ligands, is an important controllable parameter in EPD.

Abstract
The consolidation of nanovectors with biological membranes has recently been a subject of interest owing to the prolonged systemic circulation time and delayed clearance by the reticuloendothelial system of such systems. Among the different biomembranes, the macrophage membrane has a similar systemic circulation time, with an additional chemotactic aptitude, targeting integrin proteins. In this study, we aimed to establish a laser-activated, disintegrable, and deeply tumor-penetrative nanoplatform. We used a highly tumor-ablative and laser-responsive disintegrable copper sulfide nanoparticle, loaded it with paclitaxel, and camouflaged it with the macrophage membrane for the fabrication of PTX@CuS@MMNPs. The in vitro paclitaxel release profile was favorable for release in the tumor microenvironment, and the release was accelerated after laser exposure. Cellular internalization was improved by membrane encapsulation. Cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species generation, and apoptosis induction of PTX@CuS@MMNPs were further improved upon laser exposure, and boosted permeation was achieved by co-administration of the tumor-penetrating peptide iRGD. In vivo tumor accumulation, tumor inhibition rate, and apoptotic marker expression induced by PTX@CuS@MMNPs were significantly improved by laser irradiation and iRGD co-administration. PTX@CuS@MMNPs induced downregulation of cellular proliferation and angiogenic markers but no significant changes in body weight, survival, or significant toxicities in vital organs after laser exposure, suggesting their biocompatibility. The disintegrability of the nanosystem, accredited to biodegradability, favored efficient elimination from the body. In conclusion, PTX@CuS@MMNPs showed promising traits in combination therapies for excellent tumor eradication.

Abstract
As an essential trace element in the human body, transitional metal copper (Cu) ions are the bioactive components within the body featuring dedicated biological effects such as promoting angiogenesis and influencing lipid/glucose metabolism. The recent substantial advances of nanotechnology and nanomedicine promote the emerging of distinctive Cu-involved biomaterial nanoplatforms with intriguing theranostic performances in biomedicine, which are originated from the biological effects of Cu species and the physiochemical attributes of Cu-composed nanoparticles. Based on the very-recent significant progresses of Cu-involved nanotheranostics, this work highlights and discusses the principles, progresses, and prospects on the elaborate design and rational construction of Cu-composed functional nanoplatforms for a diverse array of biomedical applications, including photonic nanomedicine, catalytic nanotherapeutics, antibacteria, accelerated tissue regeneration, and bioimaging. The engineering of Cu-based nanocomposites for synergistic nanotherapeutics is also exemplified, followed by revealing their intrinsic biological effects and biosafety for revolutionizing their clinical translation. Finally, the underlying critical concerns, unresolved hurdles, and future prospects on their clinical uses are analyzed and an outlook is provided. By entering the "Copper Age," these Cu-involved nanotherapeutic modalities are expected to find more broad biomedical applications in preclinical and clinical phases, despite the current research and developments still being in infancy.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanotechnology through camouflaging synthetic nanoparticles (NPs) with natural cell membranes, which bestows with immune evasion and superior targeting capacity, has been extensively used in drug delivery systems (DDS) over the last decades. These biomimetic NPs not only retain the physicochemical features of the synthetic vehicles but also inherit the cell membranes' intrinsic functionalities. Combined with these benefits, optimized nano-biomimetic DDS allow maximum delivery efficacy. Compared to erythrocyte/cancer single cell membrane, the hybrid cell membrane expressing CD47 membrane protein and self-recognition molecules, from erythrocytes and cancer cells, provides remarkable features to the synthetic vehicles, such as immune evasion, long-term circulation, and homotypic targeting. In this review, we describe the preparation strategies, the camouflaging mechanism, and the antitumor applications of hybrid cell membrane-camouflaged NPs. Moreover, we discuss further modification of the hybrid cell membrane and the surface properties of fusion cellular membranes. Finally, we summarize the primary challenges and opportunities associated with these NPs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Camouflaging synthetic nanoparticles with hybrid cell membrane has been extensively highlighted in recent years. The resultant biomimetic nanoparticles not only reserve the physicochemical properties of the synthetic nanoparticles but also inherit the biological functions of source cells. Compared with single cell membrane, hybrid cell membrane can endow synthetic nanoparticles with multiple biofunctions derived from the original source cells. To provide a timely review of this rapidly developing subject of research, this paper summarized recent progress on the hybrid cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles as drug delivery systems for cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we focused primarily on five different types of hybrid cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles with the preparation strategies, the camouflaging mechanism, and the antitumor applications. Moreover, further modification of the hybrid cell membrane was also discussed for isolating effectively circulating tumor cells.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) assisted effective internalization into CD44 receptor-overexpressing cancer cells, which could offer an excellent cytotoxic profile and tumor alterations. In this study, duo-photothermal agents (copper sulfide (CuS) and graphene oxide (GO)), chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubicin (DOX)), and targeting moiety (HA) were incorporated into a complexed nanoconstruct for trio-responsive chemo-phototherapy. The nanosystem (CuS(DOX)-GO-HA) was demonstrating its responsive drug release and escalated photothermal behavior. The hyperthermia and photodynamic effect were observed along with efficient ROS generation in the presence of dual photosensitizers. The in vivo biodistribution and photothermal profile reflected a high accumulation and retention of the nanoconstruct in the tumor. Importantly, nanoconstructs effectively inhibit tumor growth based on tumor volume analysis and the altered expression of apoptosis, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis markers. Collectively, these findings suggest that this nanoconstruct has excellent antitumor effects in CD44 overexpressed cells showing the potential for clinical translation in the future.

Abstract
Artificial micro/nanomotors with a dual-propulsion property have attracted considerable attention recently due to their attractive performances in complex fluidic environments. In this work, we successfully constructed Janus nanomotors with H2O2 and NIR light dual-propulsion by employing dendritic porous silica nanoparticles (DPSNs) as carriers via a Pickering emulsion and electrostatic self-assembly. The aminopropyl-modified DPSNs (DPSNs-NH2) with positive charge were semiburied in paraffin wax microparticles in order to achieve electrostatic adsorption of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with negative charge on the exposed surface for H2O2 propulsion, followed by electrostatic adsorption of negatively charged CuS NPs with excellent NIR light absorption on the other exposed surface of the eluted DPSNs-NH2@Pt for NIR light propulsion. Center-radial large mesopores facilitate the high density loading of Pt NPs and CuS NPs for efficient propulsion. Compared with the commonly used sputtering approach, this Pickering emulsion method can realize relatively large-scale fabrication of Janus NPs. DPSNs-NH2@Pt@CuS Janus nanomotors can be effectively driven not only by self-diffusiophoresis, which results from the decomposition of H2O2 catalyzed by Pt NPs, but also by self-thermophoresis, which is generated from thermal gradients caused by the photothermal effect of CuS NPs. Moreover, the motion speed of the nanomotors can be conveniently modulated by regulating the H2O2 concentration and NIR light intensity. This work provides a novel exploration into the construction of dual-propulsion nanomotors, which are supposed to have significant potential in biomedical and intelligent device applications.

Abstract
Modulating the surface properties of nanoparticles (NPs) is an important approach to accomplish immune escape, prolonged the blood retention time, and enhance the ability of targeted drug delivery. The camouflage of cancer cell membrane onto nanoparticles has been proved to be an ideal approach to enhance active targeting ability of NPs. Herein, we isolated the membrane of melanoma cells to coat doxorubicin (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded hollow copper sulfide NPs (ID-HCuSNP@B16F10) for targeted photothermal therapy, photoacoustic imaging, and chemotherapy. A remarkable in vitro anticancer effect after irradiation and homologous targeting can be observed in B16F10 cells after the treatment of ID-HCuSNP@B16F10. Moreover, ID-HCuSNP@B16F10 exhibits excellent photothermal effect in melanoma animal models and achieves a high tumor ablation rate. This biomimetic system can realize high drug loading efficiency, enhanced targeting ability, and ideal antitumor efficiency.

Abstract
A novel drug-delivery nanosystem based on near-infrared (NIR) light-degradable antimony nanoparticles (AMNP) have been developed for synergistic chemo-phototherapy in vitro. The monodispersed AMNP were synthesized by using a simple and cost-effective method. Positively charged doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was loaded onto the negatively charged surface of AMNP via electrostatic interaction and finally modified by polyacrylic acid (PAA) to enhance biocompatibility. Under NIR (808 nm) laser irradiation of the AMNP-DOX-PAA nanosystem, not only was high photothermal conversion efficiency of AMNP achieved but also pH-dependent DOX release was enhanced due to laser-induced hyperthermia. As a consequence, almost all of the HeLa cells (around 97%) were killed because of the combined effects of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. More interestingly, AMNP showed very fast (about 10 min) laser-induced degradation that may help to minimize long-term toxicity after therapy by using same-wavelength NIR laser irradiation (808 nm). Computational total energy calculations and molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) suggest that the NIR laser irradiation induces a photothermally activated reaction on the surface of AMNP in water, which can lead to surface degradation via the formation of Sb-H bonds first and then Sb-OH bonds upon further increase of temperature. This work demonstrates a simple platform that has potential applications for synergistic and highly effective chemo-photothermal therapy based on photodegradable nanoparticles.

Abstract
We present polymer nanocomposites of tungsten bronze nanorods (TBNRs) and ethylene propylene diene monomers (EPDM). The combination of these components allows the simultaneous enhancement in the mechanical and photothermal properties of the composites at low filler contents. The as-synthesized TBNRs had lengths and diameters of 14.0 ± 2.4 nm and 2.5 ± 0.5 nm, respectively, and were capped with oleylamine, which has a chemical structure similar to EPDM, making the TBNRs compatible with the bulk EPDM matrix. The TBNRs absorb a wide range of near-infrared light because of the sub-band transitions induced by alkali metal doping. Thus, the nanocomposites of TBNRs in EPDM showed enhanced photothermal properties owing to the light absorption and subsequent heat emission by the TBNRs. Noticeably, the nanocomposite with only 3 wt% TBNRs presented significantly enhanced tensile strain at break, in comparison with those of pristine EPDM, nanocomposites with 1 and 2 wt % TBNRs, and those with tungsten bronze nanoparticles, because of the alignment of the nanorods during tensile elongation. The photothermal and mechanical properties of these nanocomposites make them promising materials for various applications such as in fibers, foams, clothes with cold weather resistance, patches or mask-like films for efficient transdermal delivery upon heat generation, and photoresponsive surfaces for droplet transport by the thermocapillary effect in microfluidic devices and microengines.

Abstract
Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) have recently attracted extensive attention in various fields due to their excellent optical and electrical properties. However, CuS NPs are easy to agglomerate in their preparation on account of the high surface activity. In this study, uniform dispersion of CuS NPs were fabricated with corn stalk as a template and stabilizer, further CuS@corn stalk/chitin composite hydrogel was obtained by crosslinking with chitin. The results reveal that the CuS NPs were evenly dispersed into the composite hydrogels with a three-dimensional network structure, which were verified by the UV-vis spectrum, XRD, FT-IR spectra and SEM. In addition, the as-prepared composite hydrogel with the traits of peroxidase-like activity can convert H2O2 into an extremely oxidative and toxic ·OH, which manifested good effects for photodegradation of RhB and antibacterial against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Hence, the composite hydrogels could be used for photocatalytic treatment and sterilization of wastewater, which provides a new idea for the functional application of CuS NPs.

Abstract
This letter presents an electrochemical methodology for structure-tunable synthesis, characterization, and kinetic monitoring of metal-semiconductor phase transformations at individual Ag nanoparticles. In the presence of HS- in aqueous solution, the stochastic collision and adsorption of Ag nanoparticles at a Au microelectrode initiates the partial anodic transformation of Ag to Ag2S at each particle. A single continuous current transient is observed for each Ag nanoparticle reacted. The characteristic shapes of the transients are distinct from previously reported amperometric recordings of electrochemical reactions involving single nanoparticles and are highly uniform at a constant applied potential. The average maximum current increases while the event duration decreases as a function of increasing potential. Independent of applied potential, the electrochemical transformation event abruptly stops after converting ∼80% of the Ag in the nanoparticle to Ag2S, a self-terminating process that does not occur for bulk Ag electrodes under similar conditions. The resulting products are a mixture of core@shell Ag@Ag2S nanoparticles with and without voids in the core, as characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Both the frequency and size of voids increase at more positive potentials. The average size of the core@shell nanoparticles determined by coulometric analysis of the current transients agrees well with TEM measurements.

Abstract
Precisely locating tumor site based on tumor-microenvironment-induced (TMI) multimodal imaging is especially interesting for accurate and efficient cancer therapy. In the present investigation, a novel TMI all-in-one nanoplatform, CuSNC@DOX@MnO2-NS, has been successfully fabricated for chemical and photothermal (Chem-PTT) therapy guided by multimodal imaging on tumor site. Here, the CuS nanocages with mesoporous and hollow structure (CuSNC) acting as nanocarriers provide high capacity for loading the anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). The outer layer of the MnO2 nanoshell (MnO2-NS) acts as "gatekeeper" to control the DOX release until the nanoplatform arrives at the tumor site, where abundant glutathione and H+ decompose MnO2-NS into paramagnetic Mn2+. The magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescent imaging were then triggered to locate the tumor, which was further improved by photothermal imaging on account of the intrinsic property of CuSNC. Guided by the multimode imaging, the combination of chemical therapy upon DOX and photothermal therapy upon CuSNC exhibits eminent efficiency on tumor ablation. The nanoplatform exhibits biocompatibility to avoid unwanted harm to normal tissues during trans-shipment in the body. The investigation thus develops a cost-effective TMI nanoplatform with facile preparations and easy integration of Chem-PTT treatment capabilities guided by multimodal imaging for potential application in precise therapy.

Abstract
Small copper sulfide nanoparticles (s-Cu2-xS NPs, 0 < x < 1) with a core size of less than 5.5 nm have unique physicochemical characteristics and pharmacokinetic properties and have attracted substantial attention from researchers in the field of biomedicine in recent years. After exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light, s-Cu2-xS NPs can rapidly convert light energy into heat for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT). In addition, the potential for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, along with the low toxicity and low cost, makes s-Cu2-xS NPs a promising multifunctional diagnostic reagent. This Review outlines recent advances in s-Cu2-xS NPs for molecular imaging and tumor therapy and discusses the challenges associated with successful clinical translation.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes have exhibited great potential in biomedical applications. However, currently reported SERS probes are mainly fabricated by nondegradable Au or Ag nanostructures, which are not favorably cleared from the imaged tissues. This bottleneck hinders their in vivo applications. We herein explore a degradable SERS probe consisting of hollow CuS nanoparticles (NPs) to circumvent the current limitation. We identify, for the first time, the Raman enhancement effects of hollow CuS NPs as a SERS probe for Raman imaging of residual tumor lesions. Uniquely, CuS SERS probes are degradable, which stems from laser-induced photothermal effects of CuS NPs, leading to their disintegration from shell structures into individual crystals, thus facilitating their self-clearance from imaged tissues. This novel CuS SERS probe with photodegradation characteristics opens avenues for applying Raman imaging toward a myriad of biomedical applications.
