Abstract
Cancer cells typically display redox imbalance compared with normal cells due to increased metabolic rate, accumulated mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated cell signaling, and accelerated peroxisomal activities. This redox imbalance may regulate gene expression, alter protein stability, and modulate existing cellular programs, resulting in inefficient treatment modalities. Therapeutic strategies targeting intra- or extracellular redox states of cancer cells at varying state of progression may trigger programmed cell death if exceeded a certain threshold, enabling therapeutic selectivity and overcoming cancer resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Nanotechnology provides new opportunities for modulating redox state in cancer cells due to their excellent designability and high reactivity. Various nanomaterials are widely researched to enhance highly reactive substances (free radicals) production, disrupt the endogenous antioxidant defense systems, or both. Here, the physiological features of redox imbalance in cancer cells are described and the challenges in modulating redox state in cancer cells are illustrated. Then, nanomaterials that regulate redox imbalance are classified and elaborated upon based on their ability to target redox regulations. Finally, the future perspectives in this field are proposed. It is hoped this review provides guidance for the design of nanomaterials-based approaches involving modulating intra- or extracellular redox states for cancer therapy, especially for cancers resistant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, etc.

Abstract
Inspired by natural catalytic compartments, various synthetic compartments that seclude catalytic reactions have been developed to understand complex multistep biosynthetic pathways, bestow therapeutic effects, or extend biosynthetic pathways in living cells. These emerging nanoreactors possessed many advantages over conventional biomedicine, such as good catalytic activity, specificity, and sustainability. In the past decade, a great number of efficient catalytic systems based on diverse nanoreactors (polymer vesicles, liposome, polymer micelles, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, MOFs, etc.) have been designed and employed to initiate in situ catalyzed chemical reactions for therapy. This review aims to present the recent progress in the development of catalytic systems based on nanoreactors for therapeutic applications, with a special emphasis on the principles and design strategies. Besides, the key components of nanoreactor-based catalytic systems, including nanocarriers, triggers or energy inputs, and products, are respectively introduced and discussed in detail. Challenges and prospects in the fabrication of therapeutic catalytic nanoreactors are also discussed as a conclusion to this review. We believe that catalytic nanoreactors will play an increasingly important role in modern biomedicine, with improved therapeutic performance and minimal side effects.

Abstract
Gas therapy has gained noteworthy attention in biomedical research, with the rise of gas-releasing molecules enhancing their therapeutic potential, especially when integrated into nano-based drug delivery systems. Herein, we present a lipid-coated gas delivery system to simultaneously shuttle two gas-releasing molecules carrying nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), respectively. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are designed to generate photons at 360 nm upon 808 nm of near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. These in situ-generated UV photons trigger simultaneous NO and CO release from S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and the CO-releasing molecule (CORM), respectively, which are coloaded into lipid-coated UCNP/GSNO/CORM/FA nanoparticles (LUGCF). LUGCF with a GSNO/CORM mass ratio of 2:1 is determined to be optimal in terms of synergistically instigating apoptosis in HCT116 and CT26 colon cancer cells, where both NO/CO are released and subsequent production of ROS are detected. This CO/NO combination nanoplatform exhibits a very effective inhibition of colon tumor growth in vivo at relatively low doses upon a mild 808 nm irradiation. Overall, we effectively integrated two therapeutic gas-releasing molecules in one NIR-responsive nanosystem, presenting a promising therapeutic strategy for future biomedical applications in dual-gas cancer therapy.

Abstract
Incorporating water-insoluble nitric oxide (NO)-releasing molecules into biocompatible vesicles may allow for the tunable control of NO release on a specific target site. In vesicles, membrane fluidity plays an important role and influences the final therapeutic efficiency of drugs loaded into the vesicles. Hence, we aimed to investigate the effect of lipid fluidity on the NO release behavior of the photo-controllable ruthenium nitrosyl (Ru-NO) complex. In this regard, a new photoactive ruthenium nitrosyl complex (L.Ru-NO) with amphiphilic terpyridine ligand was synthesized and characterized in detail. L.Ru-NO was incorporated with commercial phospholipids to form nanoscale vesicles L.Ru-NO@Lip. The photoactive {Ru-NO}6 type complex released NO in the organic solvent CH3CN and aqueous liposome solution by irradiating under low-intensity blue light (λ = 410 nm, 3 W). To demonstrate the effect of lipid structure and fluidity on NO release, four different liposome systems L.Ru-NO@Lip1-4 were prepared by using phospholipids such as DOPC, DSPC, DPPC, and DMPC having different chain lengths and saturation. The NO-releasing abilities of these liposomes in aqueous medium were studied by UV-vis spectrum, colorimetric Greiss, and fluorescent DAF assay. The results show that the rate of NO release could be easily tuned by varying the lipid fluidity. The effect of temperature and pH on NO release was also studied. Further, the complex L.Ru-NO and liposomes L.Ru-NO@Lip1 were assayed as an antibacterial agent against the strains of bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
Despite nearly 30 years of development and recent highlights of nitric oxide (NO) donors and NO delivery systems in anticancer therapy, the limited understanding of exogenous NO's effects on the immune system has prevented their advancement into clinical use. In particular, the effects of exogenously delivered NO differing from that of endogenous NO has obscured how the potential and functions of NO in anticancer therapy may be estimated and exploited despite the accumulating evidence of NO's cancer therapy-potentiating effects on the immune system. After introducing their fundamentals and characteristics, this review discusses the current mechanistic understanding of NO donors and delivery systems in modulating the immunogenicity of cancer cells as well as the differentiation and functions of innate and adaptive immune cells. Lastly, the potential for the complex modulatory effects of NO with the immune system to be leveraged for therapeutic applications is discussed in the context of recent advancements in the implementation of NO delivery systems for anticancer immunotherapy applications. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Despite a 30-year history and recent highlights of nitric oxide (NO) donors and delivery systems as anticancer therapeutics, their clinical translation has been limited. Increasing evidence of the complex interactions between NO and the immune system has revealed both the potential and hurdles in their clinical translation. This review summarizes the effects of exogenous NO on cancer and immune cells in vitro and elaborates these effects in the context of recent reports exploiting NO delivery systems in vivo in cancer therapy applications.

Abstract
Highly efficient delivery of nanoagents to the tumor region remains the primary challenge for cancer nanomedicine. Herein, we propose a NO-mediated tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling strategy for the high-efficient delivery of nanoagents into tumor. Quantum dots (QDs) with bright fluorescence in the near-infrared IIb (NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm) window and high photothermal conversion efficiency were encapsulated into liposomes for the imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumor. The fabrication of PEG and arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptide on liposomes ensured the prolonged circulation in vivo and active targeting to tumor. Moreover, the loading of a natural NO generator L-arginine in liposomes realized the continuous generation of NO in the acidic TME. By co-localization fluorescence imaging and western blot of tumor tissue, we confirmed that the release of NO activated the expression of metalloproteinases in TME and further degraded Collagen I in the peripheral region of the tumor, thus removing the barrier for the permeation of liposomes. Attributed to the enhanced accumulation of liposomes inside the tumor, NIR IIb imaging-guided PTT was achieved with remarkable therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Gas therapy has attracted wide attention for the treatment of various diseases. However, a controlled gas release is highly important for biomedical applications. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can precisely convert the long wavelength of light to ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) light in gas therapy for the controlled gas release owing to their unique upconversion luminescence (UCL) ability. In this review, we mainly summarized the recent progress of UCNP-based nanocomposites in gas therapy. The gases NO, O2, H2, H2S, SO2, and CO play an essential role in the physiological and pathological processes. The UCNP-based gas therapy holds great promise in cancer therapy, bacterial therapy, anti-inflammation, neuromodulation, and so on. Furthermore, the limitations and prospects of UCNP-based nanocomposites for gas therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
It is of paramount importance to develop novel approaches for combating bacterial resistance and the integration of different antibacterial mechanisms is essential to achieve synergistic bactericidal efficiency while reducing the associated side effects. Herein, amphiphilic antimicrobial copolymers derived from poly-l-lysine (PLL), black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) as near-infrared (NIR) sensitizer, and S-nitrosocysteamine (SNO) as nitric oxide (NO) donor, are assembled into PELI@BPQD-SNO nanoparticles through electrostatic interactions. Amphiphilic copolymers with isopentanyl grafts on PLL at a ratio of 50% achieve an optimal balance between antibacterial activity and hemolysis rate. Photothermal effect of BPQDs leads to NIR-responsive release of NO and the combination with amphiphilic copolymers mutually enhances long-term inhibition of bacterial growth. In an S. aureus-infected subcutaneous abscess model, the bactericidal rate of PELI@BPQD-SNO/NIR treatment reaches nearly 99.6%, which is significantly higher than those without NO release (38%) or amphiphilic copolymers (24%) or NIR irradiation (17%). PELI@BPQD-SNO/NIR treatment shows full recovery of infected wounds, efficient retardation of inflammatory cells, and reconstruction of blood vessels similar to those of healthy skin. Therefore, the electrostatic assembly demonstrates a promising strategy to deliver charged therapeutic agents and the photoactivated release of NO and amphiphilic copolymers achieves synergistic antibacterial efficacy without using any antibiotics.

Abstract
Impurity doping is a promising method to impart new properties to various materials. Due to their unique optical, magnetic, and electrical properties, rare-earth ions have been extensively explored as active dopants in inorganic crystal lattices since the 18th century. Rare-earth doping can alter the crystallographic phase, morphology, and size, leading to tunable optical responses of doped nanomaterials. Moreover, rare-earth doping can control the ultimate electronic and catalytic performance of doped nanomaterials in a tunable and scalable manner, enabling significant improvements in energy harvesting and conversion. A better understanding of the critical role of rare-earth doping is a prerequisite for the development of an extensive repertoire of functional nanomaterials for practical applications. In this review, we highlight recent advances in rare-earth doping in inorganic nanomaterials and the associated applications in many fields. This review covers the key criteria for rare-earth doping, including basic electronic structures, lattice environments, and doping strategies, as well as fundamental design principles that enhance the electrical, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties of the material. We also discuss future research directions and challenges in controlling rare-earth doping for new applications.

Abstract
Functional mesoporous materials have gained tremendous attention due to their distinctive properties and potential applications. In recent decades, the self-assembly of micelles and framework precursors into mesostructures on the liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid interface has been explored in the construction of functional mesoporous materials with diverse compositions, morphologies, mesostructures, and pore sizes. Compared with the one-phase solution synthetic approach, the introduction of a two-phase interface in the synthetic system changes self-assembly behaviors between micelles and framework species, leading to the possibility for the on-demand fabrication of unique mesoporous architectures. In addition, controlling the interfacial tension is critical to manipulate the self-assembly process for precise synthesis. In particular, recent breakthroughs based on the concept of the "monomicelles" assembly mechanism are very promising and interesting for the synthesis of functional mesoporous materials with the precise control. In this review, we highlight the synthetic strategies, principles, and interface engineering at the macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale for oriented interfacial assembly of functional mesoporous materials over the past 10 years. The potential applications in various fields, including adsorption, separation, sensors, catalysis, energy storage, solar cells, and biomedicine, are discussed. Finally, we also propose the remaining challenges, possible directions, and opportunities in this field for the future outlook.

Abstract
In recent years, reactive species-based cancer therapies have attracted tremendous attention due to their simplicity, controllability, and effectiveness. Herein, we overviewed the state-of-art advance for photo-controlled generation of highly reactive radical species with nanomaterials for cancer therapy. First, we summarized the most widely explored reactive species, such as singlet oxygen, superoxide radical anion (O2 ●-), nitric oxide (●NO), carbon monoxide, alkyl radicals, and their corresponding secondary reactive species generated by interaction with other biological molecules. Then, we discussed the generating mechanisms of these highly reactive species stimulated by light irradiation, followed by their anticancer effect, and the synergetic principles with other therapeutic modalities. This review might unveil the advantages of reactive species-based therapeutic methodology and encourage the pre-clinical exploration of reactive species-mediated cancer treatments.

Abstract
Gas molecules with pharmaceutical effects offer emerging solutions to diseases. In addition to traditional medical gases including O2 and NO, more gases such as H2 , H2 S, SO2 , and CO have recently been discovered to play important roles in various diseases. Though some issues need to be addressed before clinical application, the increasing attention to gas therapy clearly indicates the potentials of these gases for disease treatment. The most important and difficult part of developing gas therapy systems is to transport gas molecules of high diffusibility and penetrability to interesting targets. Given the particular importance of gas molecule delivery for gas therapy, distinguished strategies have been explored to improve gas delivery efficiency and controllable gas release. Here, we summarize the strategies of therapeutic gas delivery for gas therapy, including direct gas molecule delivery by chemical and physical absorption, inorganic/organic/hybrid gas prodrugs, and natural/artificial/hybrid catalyst delivery for gas generation. The advantages and shortcomings of these gas delivery strategies are analyzed. On this basis, intelligent gas delivery strategies and catalysts use in future gas therapy are discussed. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Owing to deep activation in biotissues and enhanced targeting efficiency, developing photoresponsive polymer-upconversion nanoparticles (PP-UCNPs) nanovectors has witnessed rapid growth in the past decade. However, up to date, all developed nanovectors require high-order photon processes to initiate the release of cargos. The photodamage caused by high-power near-infrared laser light may be a critical obstacle to their clinical application. Here, for the first time, by leveraging absorption-emission spectral matching between donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA) PP and UCNPs (λex , 808 nm) in the green region (≈530 nm), the designed nanovector is capable of releasing cargos at a low-power 808 nm excitation (0.2 W). Considering the high molar absorptivity, biobenign, and synthetic tunability of DASA, DASA PP can be utilized as an up-and-coming candidate to design and synthesize the next generation of upconversion nanovectors without photodamage.

Abstract
Chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), often stay in a state of pathological inflammation and suffer from persistent infection, excess inflammation, and hypoxia, thus they are difficult to be healed. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a critical role in the regulation of various wound healing processes, including inflammatory response, cell proliferation, collagen formation, antimicrobial action and angiogenesis. The important role of NO in wound healing attracts intensive research focus on NO-based wound healing therapy. However, the application of NO gas therapy needs to resolve the intrinsic shortcomings of gas therapy, such as short storage and release times as well as temporal and spatial uncontrollability of the release mode. So far, various types of NO donors, including organic nitrates (RONO2), nitrites (RONO), S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs), nitrosamines, N-diazeniumdiolates (NONOates), and metal-NO complexes, have been developed to solidify gaseous NO and they were further encapsulated in or conjugated onto a variety of biomaterial vectors to develop NO delivery systems. NO synthetic enzyme mimics to catalyze the production and release of NO from l-arginine have also been developed. This paper reviews recent advances of NO donors, biomaterial vectors, thus-formed NO delivery systems, as well as recently emerged NO synthetic enzyme mimics. Furthermore, this review also summarizes the functions of NO releasing biomaterials that would benefit chronic wound healing, including antibacterial properties and the promotion of angiogenesis, as well as the convenient combination of light/thermal induced NO release with light/thermal therapies, and the prospects for future developing trends in this area.

Abstract
Light-induced NO release based on exogenous NO donors has attracted substantial attention in clinical applications; the induction light source usually converts near-infrared light to blue or ultraviolet light. However, the low efficiency of near-infrared light-assisted chemical light energy conversion remains a challenge, especially for NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+ photoconverting near-infrared light to ultraviolet (UV) and blue light. In this paper, a luminescence-enhanced strategy is reported by doping Ca2+ into NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+ and coating it with NaGdF4 through a two-step solvothermal method. Then, UCNPs modified with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD) are loaded on a ruthenium nitrosyl complex [(3)Ru(NO)(Cl)] as nitric oxide release-molecules (NORMs). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) data demonstrated that Ca2+ was successfully doped into NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+ nanoparticles as the core, and a pure hexagonal phase, NaYF4, was obtained from the doping of Ca2+. TEM revealed that the crystallinity was significantly improved after Ca2+ doping, and the core-shell structure was successfully synthesized, with NaGdF4 directionally grown on the NaYF4:Ca/Yb/Tm core. Fluorescence tests showed that, especially in the ultraviolet and blue light excitation wavelength regions, the UC emission intensity of the Ca-doped NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+@NaGdF4 core-shell UCNPs increased by 302.95 times vs. NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+ UCNPs. Finally, the release of NO was tested by the Griess method. Under 980 nm irradiation, the cell viability distinctly decreased with increasing UCNPs@M-β-CD-NORMs concentration. This study shows that NORM release of NO is triggered by enhanced up-converted UV and blue light, which can be used for the development of UV photo-sensitive drugs.

Abstract
Activating upconversion nanoparticle-based photoresponsive nanovectors (UCPNVs) by upconversion visible light at low-power near-infrared (NIR) excitation can realize deeper biotissue stimulation with a minimized overheating effect and photodamage. Here, we demonstrate a facile strategy to construct new surface-decorated UCPNVs based on Passerini three-component reaction (P-3CR) in highly convenient and effective manners. Such UCPNVs materials have a tailored deprotecting wavelength that overlaps upconversion blue light. By using 3-perylenecarboxaldehyde, Tm3+/Yb3+ ion-doped UCNP-containing isocyanides, and antitumor agent chlorambucil as the three components, the resulting monodisperse UCPNV exhibits an efficient release of caged chlorambucil under a very low 976 nm power. This approach expands the synthetic toolbox to enable quick development of UCPNVs for UCNP-assisted low-power NIR photochemistry.

Abstract
The overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in multidrug resistance (MDR) cancer cells increases the efflux of anticancer drugs thereby causing the failure of clinical chemotherapy. To address this obstacle, in this study, we rationally designed a near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive nitric oxide (NO) delivery nanoplatform for targeting the MDR tumors based on core-shell structured nanocomposites. The mesoporous silica shell provided abundant sites for modification of the NO donor, N-diazeniumdiolate, and tumor-targeting molecule, folic acid (FA), and enabled high encapsulation capacity for doxorubicin (DOX) loading. Under NIR light irradiation, the generation of NO gas can efficiently augment chemotherapeutic effects via the inhibition of P-gp expression. Simultaneously, the photothermal conversion agents of the Cu2-xSe core produce a large amount of heat for photothermal therapy (PTT). Finally, this combinational gas/chemo/PTT not only displays a superior and synergistic effect for overcoming MDR cancer, but also provides an efficient strategy to construct a multifunctional nano-drug delivery system with diversified therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), as an endogenous diatomic molecule, plays a key regulatory role in many physiological and pathological processes. This diatomic free radical has been shown to affect different physiological and cellular functions and participates in many regulatory functions ranging from changing the cardiovascular system to regulating neuronal functions. Thus, NO gas therapy as an emerging and promising treatment method has attracted increasing attention in the treatment of various pathological diseases. As is known, the physiological and pathological regulation of NO depends mainly on its location, exposure time and released dosage. However, NO gas lacks effective accumulation and controlled long-term gas releasing capacity at specific sites, resulting in limited therapeutic efficacy and potential side effects. Thus, researchers have developed various NO donors, but eventually found that it is still difficult to control the long-term release of NO. Inspired by the self-assembly properties of nanomaterials, researchers have realized that nanomaterials can be used to support NO donors to form nanomedicine to achieve spatial and temporal controlled release of NO. In this review, according to the history of the medicinal development of NO, we first summarize the chemical design of NO donors, NO prodrugs, and NO-conjugated drugs. Then, NO nanomedicines formed by various nanomaterials and NO donors depending on nanotechnology are highlighted. Finally, the biomedical applications of NO nanomedicine with optimized properties are summarized.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important pharmaceutical agent of considerable therapeutic interest ascribed to its vasodilative, tumoricidal and antibacterial effects. Rapid development of functional nanomaterials has provided opportunities for us to achieve controllable exogenous delivery of NO. In the current review, a variety of functionalized colloidal nanovehicles that have been developed to date for nitric oxide delivery are reported. Specifically, we focus on inorganic nanomaterials such as semiconductor quantum dots, silica nanoparticles, upconversion nanomaterials, carbon/graphene nanodots, gold nanoparticles, iron oxide nanoparticles as the functional or/and supporting materials to carry NO donors. N-diazeniumdiolates, S-nitrosothiols, nitrosyl metal complexes and organic nitrates as main types of NO donors have their own unique properties and molecular structures. Conjugating the NO donors of different forms with appropriate nanomaterials results in NO delivery nanovehicles capable of releasing NO in a dose-controllable or/and on-demand manner. We also consider the therapeutic applications of those NO delivery nanovehicles, especially their applications for cancer therapy. In the end, we discuss possible future directions for developing exogenous NO delivery systems with more desired structure and improved performance. This review aims to offer the readers an overall view of the advances in functionalized colloidal nanovehicles for NO delivery. It will be attractive to scientists and researchers in the areas of material science, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, chemical biology, etc.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological messenger involved in the treatment of bacterial infections, but its controlled and targeted release in bacterial infections remains a major challenge. Herein, an intelligent NO nanogenerator triggered by near-infrared (NIR) light is constructed for targeted treatment of P. aeruginosa bacterial infection. Since maleimide can recognize and attach to the pilus of T4P of P. aeruginosa, we adopt this strategy to achieve the accurate release of therapeutic drugs at the infection site, i.e., after maleimide targets Gram-negative bacteria, the SNP@MOF@Au-Mal nanogenerator will release NO and generate ROS in situ from the inorganic photosensitizer gold nanoparticles under NIR irradiation to achieve synergistic antibacterial effect. In vivo experiments proved that the bacterial burden on the wound was reduced by 97.7%. Additionally, the nanogenerator was shown to promote the secretion of growth factors, which play a key role in regulating inflammation and inducing angiogenesis. This strategy has the advantage of generating a high concentration of NO in situ to promote the transfer of more NO and its derivatives (N2O3, ONOO-) to bacteria, thereby significantly improving the antibacterial effect. The multifunctional antibacterial platform has been demonstrated as a good carrier for gas therapy because of its simple and efficient gas release performance, indicating its great potential for the treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death, and one of the effective therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular disease is to provide a controlled, constant supply of nitric oxide (NO) in a mild manner; however, this has proved challenging in the clinic. To address this problem, we built a nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-like nanoplatform (NanoNOS) that consists of a noble metal nanoparticle core and a mesoporous silica shell and demonstrated the ability of NanoNOS to catalyze production of NO in vitro. Mechanistic studies show that the catalysis consists of a three-step reaction: the oxidation of NADPH to produce O2-via oxidase-like activity and the subsequent dismutation of O2- to H2O2via SOD-like activity, followed by H2O2-mediated oxidation of l-arginine to produce NO via a nonenzymatic pathway. The generation of NO is precisely regulated by both the content of the NanoNOS species and the plasmon excitation. We found that NanoNOS greatly suppressed injury-driven monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, suggesting the NanoNOS treatment could help prevent cardiovascular disease. With such a design as well as plasmon excitation that allows for controlled and constant catalytic activity, NanoNOS technology could have a variety of biomedical applications.

Abstract
While nitric oxide (NO) can remedy vasoconstriction, inhalation of NO may cause systematic toxicity. We report a goldsome, which comprises a hollowed poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymersome with S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, a NO donor) molecules and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) incorporated in its hydrophilic core and hydrophobic membrane, respectively. Photothermal heating caused breakdown of polymersomes and enabled NO generation through reaction between GSNO and Au NPs. Photo-illumination at the zebrafish head led to local NO generation and selective cerebral vasodilation while it had little effects in regions away from the illumination site, and effectively mitigated hypoxia induced cerebral vasoconstriction. We demonstrate a translational potential by showing photo-stimulated NO generation with a clinical intravascular optical catheter. In conclusion, the goldsome, which enables light stimulated local NO generation and can be delivered with clinical intravascular optical catheters, should extend applications of NO therapies while surmounting limitations associated with systemic administration.

Abstract
One of the major challenges in using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is to improve their brightness. This is particularly true for in vivo studies, as the low power excitation is required to prevent the potential photo toxicity to live cells and tissues. Here, we report that the typical NaYF4:Yb0.2,Er0.02 nanoparticles can be highly doped, and the formula of NaYF4:Yb0.8,Er0.06 can gain orders of magnitude more brightness, which is applicable to a range of mild 980 nm excitation power densities, from 0.005 W/cm2 to 0.5 W/cm2. Our results reveal that the concentration of Yb3+ sensitizer ions plays an essential role, while increasing the doping concentration of Er3+ activator ions to 6 mol % only has incremental effect. We further demonstrated a type of bright UCNPs 12 nm in total diameter for in vivo tumor imaging at a power density as low as 0.0027 W/cm2, bringing down the excitation power requirement by 42 times. This work redefines the doping concentrations to fight for the issue of concentration quenching, so that ultrasmall and bright nanoparticles can be used to further improve the performance of upconversion nanotechnology in photodynamic therapy, light-triggered drug release, optogenetics, and night vision enhancement.

Abstract
Photoresponsive hydrogels (PRHs) are soft materials whose mechanical and chemical properties can be tuned spatially and temporally with relative ease. Both photo-crosslinkable and photodegradable hydrogels find utility in a range of biomedical applications that require tissue-like properties or programmable responses. Progress in engineering with PRHs is facilitated by the development of theoretical tools that enable optimization of their photochemistry, polymer matrices, nanofillers, and architecture. This review brings together models and design principles that enable key applications of PRHs in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and soft robotics, and highlights ongoing challenges in both modeling and application.

Abstract
Nanomaterials-based prodrug activation systems have been widely explored in cancer therapy, aiming at overcoming limited dosage formulation, systemic toxicity, and insufficient pharmacokinetic performance of parent drugs. For better delivery control, various stimuli systems, especially nanomaterials-based ones, have come to the forefront. Among them, near-infrared (NIR) light takes advantage of on-demand/site-specific regulation and non-invasiveness. In this review, we will address the developments of nanomaterials-based prodrug over the last decade, the activation mechanisms, and bioapplications under NIR light triggering. The advantages and limitations of NIR-triggered prodrug activation strategies and the perspectives of the next-generation prodrug nanomedicine will also be summarized. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
Local photothermal hyperthermia for tumor ablation and specific stimuliresponsive gas therapy feature the merits of remote operation, noninvasive intervention, and in situ tumor-specific activation in cancer-therapeutic biomedicine. Inspired by synergistic/sequential therapeutic modality, herein a novel therapeutic modality is reported based on the construction of two-dimensional (2D) core/shell-structured Nb2C-MSNs-SNO composite nanosheets for photonic thermogaseous therapy. A phototriggered thermogas-generating nanoreactor is designed via mesoporous silica layer coating on the surface of Nb2C MXene nanosheets, where the mesopores provide the reservoirs for NO donor (S-nitrosothiol (RSNO)), and the core of Nb2C produces heat shock upon second near-infrared biowindow (NIR-II) laser irradiation. The Nb2C-MSNs-SNO-enabled photonic thermogaseous therapy undergoes a sequential process of phototriggered heat production from the core of Nb2C and thermotriggered NO generation, together with photoacoustic-imaging (PAI) guidance and monitoring. The constructed Nb2C-MSNs-SNO nanoreactors exhibit high-NIR-induced photothermal effect, intense NIR-controlled NO release, and desirable PAI performance. Based on these unique theranostic properties of Nb2C-MSNs-SNO nanocomposites, sequential photonic thermogaseous therapy with limited systematic toxicity on efficiently suppressing tumor growth is achieved by PAI-guided NIR-controlled NO release as well as heat generation. Such a thermogaseous approach representes a stimuli-selective strategy for synergistic/sequential cancer treatment.

Abstract
Polymeric materials releasing nitric oxide have attracted significant attention for therapeutic use in recent years. As one of the gaseous signaling agents in eukaryotic cells, endogenously generated nitric oxide (NO) is also capable of regulating the behavior of bacteria as well as biofilm formation in many metabolic pathways. To overcome the drawbacks caused by the radical nature of NO, synthetic or natural polymers bearing NO releasing moiety have been prepared as nano-sized materials, coatings, and hydrogels. To successfully design these materials, the amount of NO released within a certain duration, the targeted pathogens and the trigger mechanisms upon external stimulation with light, temperature, and chemicals should be taken into consideration. Meanwhile, NO donors like S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) and N-diazeniumdiolates (NONOates) have been widely utilized for developing antimicrobial polymeric agents through polymer-NO donor conjugation or physical encapsulation. In addition, antimicrobial materials with visible light responsive NO donor are also reported as strong and physiological friendly tools for rapid bacterial clearance. This review highlights approaches to delivery NO from different types of polymeric materials for combating diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, which hopefully can inspire researchers facing common challenges in the coming 'post-antibiotic' era.

Abstract
Gas-involving cancer theranostics have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their high therapeutic efficacy and biosafety. We have reviewed the recent significant advances in the development of stimuli-responsive gas releasing molecules (GRMs) and gas nanogenerators for cancer bioimaging, targeted and controlled gas therapy, and gas-sensitized synergistic therapy. We have focused on gases with known anticancer effects, such as oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen (H2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and heavy gases that act via the gas-generating process. The GRMs and gas nanogenerators for each gas have been described in terms of the stimulation method, followed by their applications in ultrasound and multimodal imaging, and finally their primary and synergistic actions with other cancer therapeutic modalities. The current challenges and future possibilities of gas therapy and imaging vis-à-vis clinical translation have also been discussed.

Abstract
We present gas-generating solid nanoparticles as a new concept of an ultrasound contrast agent. The developed nanoparticles are sufficiently small (less than 100 nm in diameter) to escape vasculature and yet, upon external pulsed laser light activation, release nitrogen gas for enhanced contrast in ultrasound imaging. The gas-generating nanoconstructs combine the photocatalytic function of gold nanoparticles and photolysis of azide compounds. Using ultrasound imaging, we demonstrate the controlled, on-demand generation of nitrogen gas from nanoparticles due to the decomposition of azide groups triggered by pulsed laser irradiation. The resulting gas forms bubbles that cause backscattered ultrasound signals and, therefore, modulate the contrast in ultrasound imaging.

Abstract
Devices consisting of polymer disks (PDs) of optically clear or translucent, medical-grade silicone loaded with a new hydrophobic, oxygen-stable, photoactivated nitric oxide-releasing moiety (photoNORM) are described. The photoNORM is the new O-nitrito chromium(III) complex trans-[Cr(PetA)(ONO)2](BF4) (PetA = 5,14-dimethyl-7,12-diphenyl-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-cyclotetradecane), of which the synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, and solution-phase photochemistry are described. Several different commercially available silicone polymers were tested with this photoNORM, and nitric oxide photouncaging with 451 nm light from these systems is compared. In addition, PDs were loaded with the photoNORM and neodymium-sensitized upconverting nanoparticles (Nd-UCNPs). The Nd-UCNPs absorb NIR light at ∼800 nm and activate NO release from the trans-[Cr(PetA)(ONO)2]+ cation. The use of such ensembles as implants provides a potential strategy for the in vivo uncaging of NO at physiological targets triggered by tissue-transmitting NIR excitation. Also reported are the X-ray crystal structures of cis- and trans-{Cr(PetA)Cl2]Cl.

Abstract
Although nitric oxide (NO) can be used to treat osteoarthritis (OA) by inhibiting inflammation, a method for the accurately controlled release of NO in inflammatory cells is still elusive. Herein, photothermal-triggered NO nanogenerators NO-Hb@siRNA@PLGA-PEG (NHsPP) were constructed by assembling photothermal-agents and NO molecules within nanoparticles. In the NHsPP nanoparticles the hemoglobin (Hb) nanoparticles can act as a NO carrier which can absorb near-infrared light at 650 nm (0.5 W cm-2) and convert it into heat to trigger the release of NO. Moreover, after loading Notch1-siRNA, precise treatment can be achieved. Furthermore, using the synergistic effect of photothermal therapy, the NHsPP nanoparticles achieved simultaneous treatment with NO, siRNA and PTT. Through this combination therapy, the therapeutic effect of the NHsPP nanoparticles was significantly enhanced compared to the treatment groups using only NO, siRNA or PTT. This combination therapy inhibits the inflammatory response effectively by reducing the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the macrophage response. Subsequently, guided by dual-modal imaging, the NHsPP nanoparticles can not only accumulate effectively in OA mice, but can also reduce the inflammatory response and efficiently prevent cartilage erosion, without causing toxic side effects in the major organs. Therefore, this novel photothermal nanoparticle-based NO-releasing system is expected to be a potential alternative for clinical inflammatory disease therapy and may provide image guidance when combined with other nanotherapy systems.

Abstract
Mild photothermal therapy (PTT), as a new anticancer therapeutic strategy, faces big challenges of limited therapeutic accuracy and side-effects due to uneven heat distribution. Here, near infrared triggered nitric oxide (NO) release nanocomposites based on bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanoparticles and bis-N-nitroso compounds (BNN) are constructed for NO-enhanced mild photothermal therapy. Upon 808 nm irradiation, the high photothermal conversion efficiency and on-demand NO release are realized simultaneously. Due to the unique properties of NO, enhanced antitumor efficacy of mild PTT based on BNN-Bi2S3 nanocomposites is achieved in vitro and in vivo. Mechanism studies reveal that the exogenous NO from BNN-Bi2S3 could not only impair the autophagic self-repairing ability of tumor cells in situ, but also diffuse to the surrounding cells to enhance the therapeutic effect. This work points out a strategy to overcome the difficulties in mild PTT, and has potentials for further exploitation of NO-sensitized synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising and effective method for tumor therapy that relies on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by photosensitizers at specific wavelengths to inhibit tumor cells. Inorganic semiconductive materials are potential photosensitizers that can excellently absorb ultraviolet light to produce ROS to kill cancer cells. However, this strategy is still limited in terms of practical applications due to the weak penetration of ultraviolet light through biological tissue, as well as the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, largely decreasing ROS generation. In this research, novel PDT agents made with mesoporous lanthanide-semiconductor composites are developed to obtain a remarkable amount of generated ROS under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Due to the larger size (about 120 nm) of the up-conversion material (UCM) used as the substrate, coated with different amounts of semiconductors with mesoporous morphologies, this platform could emit higher blue emission under a 980 nm laser. Meanwhile, both of the semiconductors (SnO2 and TiO2) used have wide absorbance bands in the ultraviolet region, and the ultraviolet fluorescence emitted from the UCM core under NIR laser excitation can be used as the energy donor. Electron transfer processes in SnO2 and TiO2 are generated via the above platforms and produce ROS through photochemical action. Furthermore, the coated semiconductors are mesoporous with larger surface areas (about 302 m2 g−1) and various channels; this is beneficial to obtain enough oxygen to generate more ROS under a hypoxic environment. The PDT efficiency of a typical NaYF4@SnO2 sample is studied using a DPBF detector, in vitro MTT assays, and in vivo tumor inhibition experiments, revealing that this lanthanide-semiconductor platform could be potentially used as a PDT agent under NIR excitation. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising and effective method for tumor therapy that relies on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by photosensitizers at specific wavelengths to inhibit tumor cells.![]()

Abstract
The fast advances of theranostic nanomedicine enable the rational design and construction of diverse functional nanoplatforms for versatile biomedical applications, among which gas-generating nanoplatforms (GGNs) have emerged very recently as unique theranostic nanoplatforms for broad gas therapies. Here, the recent developments of the rational design and chemical construction of versatile GGNs for efficient gas therapies by either exogenous physical triggers or endogenous disease-environment responsiveness are reviewed. These gases involve some therapeutic gases that can directly change disease status, such as oxygen (O2 ), nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2 ), hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2 ), and other gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2 ), dl-menthol (DLM), and gaseous perfluorocarbon (PFC) for supplementary assistance of the theranostic process. Abundant nanocarriers have been adopted for gas delivery into lesions, including poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid), micelles, silica/mesoporous silica, organosilica, MnO2 , graphene, Bi2 Se3 , upconversion nanoparticles, CaCO3 , etc. Especially, these GGNs have been successfully developed for versatile biomedical applications, including diagnostic imaging and therapeutic use. The biosafety issue, challenges faced, and future developments on the rational construction of GGNs are also discussed for further promotion of their clinical translation to benefit patients.

Abstract
Efficient control over drug release is critical to increasing drug efficacy and avoiding side effects. An ideal drug delivery system would deliver drugs in the right amount, at the right location and at the right time noninvasively. This can be achieved using light-triggered delivery: light is noninvasive, spatially precise and safe if appropriate wavelengths are chosen. However, the use of light-controlled delivery systems has been limited to areas that are not too deep inside the body because ultraviolet (UV) or visible (Vis) light, the typical wavelengths used for photoreactions, have limited penetration and are toxic to biological tissues. The advent of upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) has made it possible to overcome this crucial challenge. UCNPs can convert near-infrared (NIR) radiation, which can penetrate deeper inside the body, to shorter wavelength NIR, Vis and UV radiation. UCNPs have been used as bright, in situ sources of light for on-demand drug release and bioimaging applications. These remote-controlled, NIR-triggered drug delivery systems are especially attractive in applications where a drug is required at a specific location and time such as in anesthetics, postwound healing, cardiothoracic surgery and cancer treatment. In this Perspective, we discuss recent progress and challenges as well as propose potential solutions and future directions, especially with regard to their translation to the clinic.

Abstract
Photoactivated chemotherapy is an approach where a biologically active compound is protected against interaction with the cell environment by a light-cleavable protecting group, and unprotected by light irradiation. As such, PACT represents a major scientific opportunity for developing new bioactive inorganic compounds. However, the societal impact of this approach will only take off if the PACT field is used to address real societal challenges, i.e., therapeutic questions that make sense in a clinical context, rather than purely chemical questions. In particular, I advocate here that the field has become mature enough to switch from a compound-based approach, where a particular cancer model is chosen only to demonstrate the utility of a compound, to a disease-based approach, where the question of which disease to cure comes first: which PACT compound should I make to solve that particular clinical problem? The advantages and disadvantages of PACT vs. other phototherapeutic techniques are discussed, and a roadmap towards real clinical applications of PACT is drawn.

Abstract
Exogenous nitric oxide (NO) represents an attractive antibacterial agent because of its ability to both disperse and directly kill bacterial biofilms while avoiding resistance. Due to the challenges associated with administering gaseous NO, NO-releasing macromolecular scaffolds are developed to facilitate NO delivery. This progress report describes the rational design and application of NO-releasing macromolecular scaffolds as antibacterial therapeutics. Special consideration is given to the role of the physicochemical properties of the NO storage vehicles on antibacterial or anti-biofilm activity.
