Abstract
Silica nanoparticles have emerged as promising candidates in the field of nanomedicine due to their remarkable versatility and customizable properties. However, concerns about their potential toxicity in healthy tissues and organs have hindered their widespread clinical translation. To address this challenge, significant attention has been directed toward a specific subset of silica nanoparticles, namely degradable silica nanoparticles, primarily because of their excellent biocompatibility and responsive biodegradability. In this review, we provide a comprehensive understanding of degradable silica nanoparticles, categorizing them into two distinct groups: inorganic species-doped and organic moiety-doped silica nanoparticles based on their framework components. Next, the recent progress of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive degradable silica nanoparticles for precision theranostic applications is summarized in detail. Finally, current bottlenecks and future opportunities of theranostic nanomedicines based on degradable silica nanoparticles in clinical applications are also outlined and discussed. The aim of this comprehensive review is to shed light on the potential of degradable silica nanoparticles in addressing current challenges in nanomedicine, offering insights into their design, applications in tumor diagnosis and treatment, and paving the way for future advancements in clinical theranostic nanomedicines.

Abstract
Amphiphilic polymer micellar carriers are the most commonly used nanocarriers for oral delivery of hydrophobic drugs because their hydrophilic shell can avoid the recognition of the reticuloendothelial system (RES), has excellent drug-carrying capacity, and protect the drug from inactivation in the gastrointestinal fluid. The polymer micelle shell can enter cancer cells by endocytosis, and autophagy in cells, degradation by lysosomal pathway, so as to release drugs, prolong the circulation time of drugs in vivo, and then achieve the effect of drug sustained release. In this study, the glutathione-responsive PLGA-ss-PEG loaded paclitaxel (PTX) micelles (PLGA-ss-PEG-PTX) were developed for anticancer therapy. With its long-term circulation and EPR (enhanced permeability and retention) effect, and the micelle had disulfide bond, which could be used as the recognition group of tumor microenvironment, so that the PLGA-ss-PEG-PTX could specifically accumulate at the tumor site, so as to produce better anti-tumor effect. The PLGA-ss-PEG-PTX was formulated by the emulsification method in this study. The drug loading was about 21.54%, the entrapment efficiency was about 94.2%, and the particle size range was about 90 nm with narrow particle size distribution. Cytotoxicity and embryonic toxicity experiments were carried out using mouse lung cancer cells (LLC) and zebrafish fertilized eggs. It was proved that the low concentration of blank micelles had little cytotoxicity, but high concentration of blank micelles had adverse effects on zebrafish embryonic development, resulting in embryonic malformation. The uptake of drugs by cancer cells was studied by a high connotation cell imaging analysis system. The experiments showed that the drug molecules encapsulated in micelles could achieve higher uptake by cells compared with free drug molecules. In addition, in the in vivo evaluation experiment of drugs, the PLGA-ss-PEG-PTX could significantly enhance the therapeutic effect of the PTX, improve its water solubility, and improve its oral bioavailability.

Abstract
Kidney dysfunction is a clinical syndrome that can subsequently result in lethal kidney failure. The exploration of emerging bioimaging contrast agents with translational potential is highly challenging for a feasible diagnosis of kidney dysfunction. Herein, a class of renal-clearable gadolinium nanoparticles (Gd@PEG NPs) with an ultrasmall size of ∼5 nm, good monodispersity, and T1 relaxivity are synthesized using mesoporous silica nanoparticles as the template. Assisted by such renal-clearable Gd@PEG NPs, the diagnosis of kidney dysfunction in a mice model with a damaged kidney has been achieved through in vivo noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging. As a result, this work paves the way to synthesize monodispersible ultrasmall Gd contrast agents, facilitating the exploration of translational strategies for an in vivo analysis of kidney dysfunction.

Abstract
Monodispersed polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) spheres with diameters from hundreds of nanometers to several microns have been successfully synthesized; however, the knowledge of their formation mechanism still lags behind. Herein, with methyltrimethoxysilane and 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane as model silicon sources, the formation process of PSQ spheres in the one-step sol-gel method was revealed for the first time by monitoring the time evolution of particle morphology, size, and size distribution via transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. A four-stage formation mechanism was proposed: rapid hydrolysis of organic silicon source and subsequent oligomer micelle nucleation, fast growing of nuclei particles and formation of their aggregates, followed by a further relatively fast growth of dispersed particles, and finally a slow growth to form monodispersed PSQ spheres. Due to the reversibility of hydrolysis and condensation reactions, thermodynamically unstable particles gradually transformed to hydrolytic monomers/oligomers and then regrew on the thermodynamically stable particles until the concentration of hydrolytic oligomers reached the dissolution equilibrium in the alkaline reaction solution. The variation of growth rate during the formation process and the effects of NH4OH concentration on the yield and particle size were investigated to facilitate analyses and understanding of the formation mechanism.

Abstract
To achieve the promise of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer, they should (1) avoid premature clearance; (2) accumulate in tumors and undergo endocytosis by cancer cells; and (3) exhibit appropriate stimuli-responsive release of the payload. It is challenging to address all of these requirements simultaneously. However, the numerous proof-of-concept studies addressing one or more of these requirements reported every year have dramatically expanded the toolbox available for the design of drug delivery systems. This review highlights recent advances in the targeting and stimuli-responsiveness of drug delivery systems. It begins with a discussion of nanocarrier types and an overview of the factors influencing nanocarrier biodistribution. On-demand release strategies and their application to each type of nanocarrier are reviewed, including both endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Recent developments in stimuli-responsive targeting strategies are also discussed. The remaining challenges and prospective solutions in the field are discussed throughout the review, which is intended to assist researchers in overcoming interdisciplinary knowledge barriers and increase the speed of development. This review presents a nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems toolbox that enables the application of techniques across platforms and inspires researchers with interdisciplinary information to boost the development of multifunctional therapeutic nanoplatforms for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Rare earth (RE) elements are widely used in the luminescence and magnetic fields by virtue of their abundant 4f electron configurations. However, the overall performance and aqueous stability of single-component RE materials need to be urgently improved to satisfy the requirements for multifunctional applications. Carbon nanodots (CNDs) are excellent nanocarriers with abundant functional surface groups, excellent hydrophilicity, unique photoluminescence (PL) and tunable features. Accordingly, RE-CND hybrids combine the merits of both RE and CNDs, which dramatically enhance their overall properties such as luminescent and magnetic-optical imaging performances, leading to highly promising practical applications in the future. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review focusing on the introduction and in-depth understanding of RE-CND hybrid materials has not been reported to date. This review endeavors to summarize the recent advances of RE-CNDs, including their interaction mechanisms, general synthetic strategies and applications in fluorescence, biosensing and multi-modal biomedical imaging. Finally, we present the current challenges and the possible application perspectives of newly developed RE-CND materials. We hope this review will inspire new design ideas and valuable references in this promising field in the future.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the great advancement in understanding the pharmacology and biology of cancer, it still signifies one of the most serious human-health related problems. The current treatments for cancer may include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but these procedures have several limitations. Current studies have shown that nanoparticles (NPs) can be used as a novel strategy for cancer treatment. Developing nanosystems that allow lower doses of therapeutic agents, as well as their selective release in tumour cells, may resolve the challenges of targeted cancer therapy. In this review, the authors discuss the role of the size, shape, and surface modifications of NPs in cancer treatment. They also address the challenges associated with cancer therapies based on NPs. The overall purpose of this review is to summarise the recent developments in designing different hybrid NPs with promising therapeutic properties for different types of cancer.

Abstract
Modern pharmaceutics requires novel drug loading platforms with high drug loading capacity, controlled release, high stability, and good biocompacity. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show promising applications in biomedicine owing to their extraordinarily high surface area, tunable pore size, and adjustable internal surface properties. However, MOFs have low stability due to weak coordinate bonding and limited biocompatibility, limiting their bioapplication. In this study, we fabricated MOFs/polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) nanocomposites and utilized them as drug carriers. Amine-functionalized MOF (UiO-66-NH2) nanoparticles were synthesized and encapsulated with epoxy-functionalized polysilsesquioxane layer on the surface via a facile process. MOFs possessed high surface area and regular micropores, and PSQs offered stability, inertness, and functionality. The obtained UiO-66-NH2@EPSQ nanocomposites were utilized as carriers for ibuprofen, a drug with carboxylic groups on the surface, and demonstrated high drug loading capacity and well-controlled release property. The UiO-66-NH2@EPSQ nanocomposite exhibited low cytotoxicity to HeLa cells within a wide concentration range of 10-100 µg/mL, as estimated by the MTT method. The UiO-66-NH2@EPSQ drug release system could be a potential platform in the field of controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
Multifunctional hybrid nanoparticles are being developed to carry a wide variety of therapeutic and imaging agents for multiple biomedical applications. Polysilsesquioxane (PSilQ) nanoparticles are a promising hybrid platform with numerous advantages to be used as a delivery system. In this report, we demonstrate the ability of a stimuli-responsive PSilQ-based platform to transport and deliver simultaneously protoporphyrin IX, curcumin, and RNA interference inducers inside human cells. This multimodal delivery system shows a synergistic performance for the combined phototherapy and chemotherapy of triple-negative breast cancer and can be used for efficient transfection of therapeutic nucleic acids. The current work represents the first report of using the PSilQ platform for the combined phototherapy and chemotherapy and gene delivery.

Abstract
Silica-based nanomaterials are extensively used in industrial applications and academic biomedical research, thus properly assessing their toxicity and biodegradability is essential for their safe and effective formulation and use. Unfortunately, there is often a lot of confusion in the literature with respect to the toxicity and biodegradability of silica since various studies have yielded contradictory results. In this contribution, we first endeavor to underscore that the simplistic model of silica should be discarded in favor of a more realistic model recognizing that all silicas are not created equal and should thus be considered in the plural as silicas and silica hybrids, which indeed hold various biocompatibility and biodegradability profiles. We then demonstrated that all silicas are-as displayed in Nature-degradable in water by dissolution, as governed by the laws of kinetics. Lastly, we explore the vast potential of tuning the degradability of silica by materials design using various silica hybrids for redox-, pH-, enzymatic-, and biochelation-mediated lysis mechanisms.

Abstract
Tunable glutathione (GSH)-sensitive hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSiO2 NPs) were developed using a structural difference-based selective etching strategy. These organosilica hollow nanoparticles contained disulfide linkages (S-S) in the outer shell which were degraded by GSH. The particles were compared with their nonGSH-sensitive tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) HMSiO2 counterparts in terms of their synthesis method, characterization, doxorubicin (DOX) release profile, and in vitro cytotoxicity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the particles indicated that the fabricated HMSiO2 NPs had an average diameter of 130 ± 5 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that GSH-sensitive particles had approximately 5.3% more weight loss than TEOS HMSiO2 NPs. Zeta potential of these redox-responsive particles was -23 ± 1 mV at pH 6 in deionized (DI) water. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm revealed that the surface area of the hollow mesoporous nanoreservoirs was roughly 446 ± 6 m2 g-1 and the average diameter of the pores was 2.3 ± 0.5 nm. TEM images suggest that the nanoparticles started to lose mass integrity from Day 1. The particles showed a high loading capacity for DOX (8.9 ± 0.5%) as a model drug, due to the large voids existing in the hollow structures. Approximately 58% of the incorporated DOX released within 14 days in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 6 and in the presence of 10 mM of GSH, mimicking intracellular tumor microenvironment while release from TEOS HMSiO2 NPs was only c.a. 18%. The uptake of these hollow nanospheres by MCF-7 cells and RAW 264.7 macrophages was evaluated using TEM and confocal microscopy. The nanospheres were shown to accumulate in the endolysosomal compartments after incubation for 24 h with the maximum uptake of c.a. 2.1 ± 0.3% and 5.2 ± 0.4%, respectively. Cytotoxicity of the nanospheres was investigated using CCK-8 assay. Results indicate that intact hollow particles (both GSH-sensitive and TEOS HMSiO2 NPs) were nontoxic to MCF-7 cells after incubation for 24 h within the concentration range of 0-1000 μg ml-1. DOX-loaded GSH-sensitive nanospheres containing 6 μg ml-1 of DOX killed c.a. 51% of MCF-7 cells after 24 h while TEOS HMSiO2 NPs killed c.a. 20% with the difference being statistically significant. Finally, cytotoxicity data in RAW 264.7 macrophages and NIH 3 T3 fibroblasts shows that intact GSH-sensitive HMSiO2 NPs did not show any toxic effects on these cells with the concentrations equal or <125 μg ml-1.

Abstract
The construction of large pore-sized hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs) with a concurrent small particle size is of great challenge for the delivery of large biomacromolecules. In this work, we report, for the first time, on the construction of monodispersed and biodegradable HMONs with a unique large mesopore size, hollow interior, a small particle size and a molecularly organic-inorganic hybrid framework. The incorporation of thioether groups into the framework of large pore-sized HMONs (LHMONs) leads to the fast biodegradation of the nanocarriers with specific responsibility and acceleration to the reducing microenvironment. Systematic in vivo biocompatibility assays of LHMONs demonstrate their high biosafety for potential clinical translation. Based on their large mesopore and high pore volume, these LHMONs show high drug-loading capacity for large biomolecular proteins (RNase A), efficient intracellular uptake and a high therapeutic outcome against cancer cells as compared to free protein drugs because of their unique structural features. This first demonstration of the construction of molecularly organic-inorganic hybrid HMONs with a unique large mesopore size, a small particle size and tumor microenvironment-responsive biodegradability promises the intracellular delivery of biomacromolecules for various therapeutic applications, especially for combating cancer.

Abstract
Design and development of silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) with a controlled degradation profile promises effective drug delivery with a predetermined carrier elimination profile. In this research, we fabricated a series of redox-responsive polysulfide-based biodegradable SiO2 NPs with low polydispersity and with variations in size (average diameters of 58 ± 7, 108 ± 11, 110 ± 9, 124 ± 9, and 332 ± 6 nm), porosity, and composition (disulfide vs tetrasulfide bonds). The degradation kinetics of the nanoparticles was analyzed in the presence of 8 mM glutathione (GSH), mimicking the intracellular reducing condition. Results indicate that porosity and core composition play the predominant roles in the degradation rate of these nanoparticles. The 108 nm mesoporous disulfide-based nanoparticles showed the highest degradation rate among all the synthesized nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals that nonporous nanoparticles undergo surface erosion, while porous nanoparticles undergo both surface and bulk erosion under reducing environment. The cytotoxicity of these nanoparticles in RAW 264.7 macrophages was evaluated. Results show that all these nanoparticles with the IC50 values ranging from 233 ± 42 to 705 ± 17 μg mL-1 do not have cytotoxic effect in macrophages at concentrations less than 125 μg mL-1. The degradation products of these nanoparticles collected within 15 days did not show cytotoxicity in the same macrophage cell line after 24 h of incubation. In vitro doxorubicin (DOX) release was examined in 108 nm mesoporous disulfide-based nanoparticles in the absence and presence of 8 mM GSH. It was shown that drug release depends on intracellular reducing conditions. Due to their ease of synthesis and scale up, robust structure, and the ability to control size, composition, release, and elimination, biodegradable SiO2 NPs provide an alternative platform for delivery of bioactive and imaging agents.

Abstract
The biorelated degradability and clearance of siliceous nanomaterials have been questioned worldwide, since they are crucial prerequisites for the successful translation in clinics. Typically, the degradability and biocompatibility of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been an ongoing discussion in research circles. The reason for such a concern is that approved pharmaceutical products must not accumulate in the human body, to prevent severe and unpredictable side-effects. Here, the biorelated degradability and clearance of silicon and silica nanoparticles (NPs) are comprehensively summarized. The influence of the size, morphology, surface area, pore size, and surface functional groups, to name a few, on the degradability of silicon and silica NPs is described. The noncovalent organic doping of silica and the covalent incorporation of either hydrolytically stable or redox- and enzymatically cleavable silsesquioxanes is then described for organosilica, bridged silsesquioxane (BS), and periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) NPs. Inorganically doped silica particles such as calcium-, iron-, manganese-, and zirconium-doped NPs, also have radically different hydrolytic stabilities. To conclude, the degradability and clearance timelines of various siliceous nanomaterials are compared and it is highlighted that researchers can select a specific nanomaterial in this large family according to the targeted applications and the required clearance kinetics.

Abstract
Functionalization enhances the properties and characteristics of nanoparticles through surface modification, and enables them to play a major role in the field of medicine. In molecular imaging, quality functional images are required with proper differentiation which can be seen with high contrast to obtain viable information. This review article discusses how functionalization enhances molecular imaging and enables multimodal imaging by which images with combination of functions particular to each modality can be obtained. This also explains how nanoparticles interacting at molecular level, when functionalized with molecules can target the cells of interest or substances with high specificity, reducing background signal and allowing simultaneous therapies to be carried out while imaging. Functionalization allows imaging for a prolonged period and enables to track the cells over a period of time. Recent researches and progress in functionalizing the nanoparticles to specifically enhance bioimaging with different modalities and their applications are reviewed in this article.

Abstract
Encapsulating chemotherapeutics in nanoparticles can reduce the side effects of intravenous administration and improve their antitumor efficacy. Additionally, surface decoration of the nanocarriers with tumor-targeting ligands may enhance their specificity for cancer cells overexpressing the corresponding ligand-binding counterpart. The focus here is on anisamide, a low-molecular-weight benzamide derivative used as a tumor-directing moiety in functionalized nanosystems, based on its alleged interaction with Sigma receptors. The scintigraphic agents that initially inspired the use of anisamide for tumor targeting are described, and the published anisamide-tethered nanocarrier formulations are reviewed, together with a critical overview of the ligand's tumor-targeting properties. Moreover, anisamide's putative but dubious cellular target, the Sigma-1 receptor, is discussed with regard to its subcellular localization and implications in cancer. Data from in vivo studies reveal that the effect of anisamide on the antitumor efficacy of the decorated nanosystems varies considerably among the published reports. Together with the evidence questioning the interaction of anisamide with the Sigma receptors, the variability of anisamide's effect on the tumor deposition and the antitumor efficacy of the decorated drug carriers calls into question the extent of the ligand's tumor-targeting effect. Further research is necessary to elucidate the ligand's utility in tumor targeting.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials garner properties from their organic and inorganic matrices as well as synergistic features, and therefore have recently attracted much attention at the nanoscale. Non-porous organosilica hybrid nanomaterials with a high organic content such as silsesquioxanes (R-SiO1.5, with R organic groups) and bridged silsesquioxanes (O1.5Si-R-SiO1.5) are especially attractive hybrids since they provide 20 to 80 weight percent of organic functional groups in addition to the known chemistry and stability of silica. In the organosilica family, silsesquioxanes (R-SiO1.5) stand between silicas (SiO2) and silicones (R2SiO), and are variously called organosilicas, ormosil (organically-modified silica), polysilsesquioxanes and silica hybrids. Herein, we comprehensively review non-porous silsesquioxane and bridged silsesquioxane nanomaterials and their applications in nanomedicine, electro-optics, and catalysis.

Abstract
The delivery of large cargos of diameter above 15nm for biomedical applications has proved challenging since it requires biocompatible, stably-loaded, and biodegradable nanomaterials. In this study, we describe the design of biodegradable silica-iron oxide hybrid nanovectors with large mesopores for large protein delivery in cancer cells. The mesopores of the nanomaterials spanned from 20 to 60nm in diameter and post-functionalization allowed the electrostatic immobilization of large proteins (e.g. mTFP-Ferritin, ~534kDa). Half of the content of the nanovectors was based with iron oxide nanophases which allowed the rapid biodegradation of the carrier in fetal bovine serum and a magnetic responsiveness. The nanovectors released large protein cargos in aqueous solution under acidic pH or magnetic stimuli. The delivery of large proteins was then autonomously achieved in cancer cells via the silica-iron oxide nanovectors, which is thus a promising for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The genotoxic agent cisplatin, used alone or in combination with radiation and/or other chemotherapeutic agents, is an important first-line chemotherapy for a broad range of cancers. The clinical utility of cisplatin is limited both by intrinsic and acquired resistance and dose-limiting normal tissue toxicity. That cisplatin shows little selectivity for tumor versus normal tissue may be a critical factor limiting its value. To overcome the low therapeutic ratio of the free drug, macromolecular, liposomal, and nanoparticle drug delivery systems have been explored toward leveraging the enhanced permeability and retention effect and promoting delivery of cisplatin to tumors. Here, we survey recent advances in nanoparticle formulations of cisplatin, focusing on agents that show promise in preclinical or clinical settings.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials aiming to combine the individual advantages of organic and inorganic components while overcoming their intrinsic drawbacks have shown great potential for future applications in broad fields. In particular, the integration of functional organic fragments into the framework of mesoporous silica to fabricate mesoporous organosilica materials has attracted great attention in the scientific community for decades. The development of such mesoporous organosilica materials has shifted from bulk materials to nanosized mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (designated as MONs, in comparison with traditional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs)) and corresponding applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology. In this comprehensive review, the state-of-art progress of this important hybrid nanomaterial family is summarized, focusing on the structure/composition-performance relationship of MONs of well-defined morphology, nanostructure, and nanoparticulate dimension. The synthetic strategies and the corresponding mechanisms for the design and construction of MONs with varied morphologies, compositions, nanostructures, and functionalities are overviewed initially. Then, the following part specifically concentrates on their broad spectrum of applications in nanotechnology, mainly in nanomedicine, nanocatalysis, and nanofabrication. Finally, some critical issues, presenting challenges and the future development of MONs regarding the rational synthesis and applications in nanotechnology are summarized and discussed. It is highly expected that such a unique molecularly organic-inorganic nanohybrid family will find practical applications in nanotechnology, and promote the advances of this discipline regarding hybrid chemistry and materials.

Abstract
Nanoparticle anticancer drug delivery enhances therapeutic efficacies and reduces side effects by improving pharmacokinetics and biodistributions of the drug payloads in animal models. Despite promising preclinical efficacy results, monotherapy nanomedicines have failed to produce enhanced response rates over conventional chemotherapy in human clinical trials. The discrepancy between preclinical data and clinical outcomes is believed to result from the less pronounced enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect in and the heterogeneity of human tumors as well as the intrinsic/acquired drug resistance to monotherapy over the treatment course. To address these issues, recent efforts have been devoted to developing nanocarriers that can efficiently deliver multiple therapeutics with controlled release properties and increased tumor deposition. In ideal scenarios, the drug or therapeutic modality combinations have different mechanisms of action to afford synergistic effects. In this review, we summarize recent progress in designing hybrid nanoparticles for the co-delivery of combination therapies, including multiple chemotherapeutics, chemotherapeutics and biologics, chemotherapeutics and photodynamic therapy, and chemotherapeutics and radiotherapy. The in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects are also discussed.

Abstract
Bridged silsesquioxane nanocomposites with tunable morphologies incorporating o-nitrophenylene-ammonium bridges are described. The systematic screening of the sol-gel parameters allowed the material to reach the nanoscale with controlled dense and hollow structures of 100-200 nm. The hybrid composition of silsesquioxanes with 50% organic content homogeneously distributed in the nanomaterials endowed them with photoresponsive properties. Light irradiation was performed to reverse the surface charge of nanoparticles from +46 to -39 mV via a photoreaction of the organic fragments within the particles, as confirmed by spectroscopic monitorings. Furthermore, such nanoparticles were applied for the first time for the on-demand delivery of plasmid DNA in HeLa cancer cells via light actuation.

Abstract
We describe biodegradable bridged silsesquioxane (BS) composite nanomaterials with an unusually high organic content (ca. 50%) based on oxamide components mimicking amino acid biocleavable groups. Unlike most bulk BS materials, the design of sub-200 nm nearly monodisperse nanoparticles (NPs) was achieved. These enzymatically degradable BS NPs were further tested as promising imaging nanoprobes.

Abstract
Metastasis is deadly and also tough to treat as it is much more complicated than the primary tumour. Anti-metastasis approaches available so far are far from being optimal. A variety of nanomedicine formulae provide a plethora of opportunities for developing new strategies and means for tackling metastasis. It should be noted that individualized anti-metastatic nanomedicines are different from common anti-cancer nanomedicines as they specifically target different populations of malignant cells. This review briefly introduces the features of the metastatic cascade, and proposes a series of nanomedicine-based anti-metastasis strategies aiming to block each metastatic step. Moreover, we also concisely introduce the advantages of several promising nanoparticle platforms and their potential for constructing state-of-the-art individualized anti-metastatic nanomedicines.

Abstract
Cisplatin and its platinum (Pt) (II) derivatives play a key role in the fight against various human cancers such as testicular, ovarian, head and neck, lung tumors. However, their application in clinic is limited due to dose- dependent toxicities and acquired drug resistances, which have prompted extensive research effort toward the development of more effective Pt (II) delivery strategies. The synthesis of Pt (IV) complex is one such an area of intense research fields, which involves their in vivo conversion into active Pt (II) molecules under the reducing intracellular environment, and has demonstrated encouraging preclinical and clinical outcomes. Compared with Pt (II) complexes, Pt (IV) complexes not only exhibit an increased stability and reduced side effects, but also facilitate the intravenous-to-oral switch in cancer chemotherapy. The overview briefly analyzes statuses of Pt (II) complex that are in clinical use, and then focuses on the development of Pt (IV) complexes. Finally, recent advances in Pt (IV) complexes in combination with nanocarriers are highlighted, addressing the shortcomings of Pt (IV) complexes, such as their instability in blood and irreversibly binding to plasma proteins and nonspecific distribution, and taking advantage of passive and active targeting effect to improve Pt (II) anticancer therapy.

Abstract
In vivo cell tracking has emerged as a much sought after tool for design and monitoring of cell-based treatment strategies. Various techniques are available for pre-clinical animal studies, from which much has been learned and still can be learned. However, there is also a need for clinically translatable techniques. Central to in vivo cell imaging is labelling of cells with agents that can give rise to signals in vivo, that can be detected and measured non-invasively. The current imaging technology of choice for clinical translation is MRI in combination with labelling of cells with magnetic agents. The main challenge encountered during the cell labelling procedure is to efficiently incorporate the label into the cell, such that the labelled cells can be imaged at high sensitivity for prolonged periods of time, without the labelling process affecting the functionality of the cells. In this respect, nanoparticles offer attractive features since their structure and chemical properties can be modified to facilitate cellular incorporation and because they can carry a high payload of the relevant label into cells. While these technologies have already been applied in clinical trials and have increased the understanding of cell-based therapy mechanism, many challenges are still faced.

Abstract
A two-photon photosensitizer with four triethoxysilyl groups is synthesized through the click reaction. This photosensitizer allows the design of bridged silsesquioxane (BS) nanoparticles through a sol-gel process; moreover, gold core BS shells or BS nanoparticles decorated with gold nanospheres are synthesized. An enhancement of the two-photon properties is noted with gold and the nanoparticles are efficient for two-photon imaging and two-photon photodynamic therapy of cancer cells.

Abstract
Hybrid nanoparticles, composed of both inorganic and organic components, have been exploited as promising platforms for cancer imaging and therapy. This class of nanoparticles can not only retain the beneficial features of both inorganic and organic materials, but also allow systematic fine-tuning of their properties through the judicious combination of functional components. This chapter summarizes recent advances in the design and synthesis of hybrid nanomaterials, with particular emphasis on two main categories of hybrid nanoparticles: Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (also known as nanoscale coordination polymers) and polysilsesquioxane nanoparticles. Preliminary applications of these hybrid nanoparticles in cancer imaging and therapy are described.

Abstract
Nanoprobes for MRI and optical imaging are demonstrated. Gd@C-dots possess strong fluorescence and can effectively enhance signals on T1 -weighted MR images. The nanoprobes have low toxicity, and, despite a relatively large size, can be efficiently excreted by renal clearance from the host after systemic injection.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have gained considerable attention and interest in the development of novel and high-resolution contrast agents for medical diagnosis and prognosis in clinic. A classical urea-based homogeneous precipitation route that combines the merits of in situ thermal decomposition and surface modification is introduced to construct polyethylene glycol molecule (PEG)-decorated hybrid lutetium oxide nanoparticles (PEG-UCNPs). By utilizing the admirable optical and magnetic properties of the yielded PEG-UCNPs, in vivo up-conversion luminescence and T1 -enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of small animals are conducted, revealing obvious signals after subcutaneous and intravenous injection, respectively. Due to the strong X-ray absorption and high atomic number of lanthanide elements, X-ray computed-tomography imaging based on PEG-UCNPs is then designed and carried out, achieving excellent imaging outcome in animal experiments. This is the first example of the usage of hybrid lutetium oxide nanoparticles as effective nanoprobes. Furthermore, biodistribution, clearance route, as well as long-term toxicity are investigated in detail after intravenous injection in a murine model, indicating the overall safety of PEG-UCNPs. Compared with previous lanthanide fluorides, our nanoprobes exhibit more advantages, such as facile construction process and nearly total excretion from the animal body within a month. Taken together, these results promise the use of PEG-UCNPs as a safe and efficient nanoparticulate contrast agent for potential application in multimodal imaging.
