Abstract
In the past decade, cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of oncology. Major immunotherapy approaches such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines, adoptive cell therapy, cytokines, and immunomodulators have shown great promise in preclinical and clinical settings. Among them, immunomodulatory agents including cancer vaccines are particularly appealing; however, they face limitations, notably the absence of efficient and precise targeted delivery of immune-modulatory agents to specific immune cells and the potential for off-target toxicity. Nanomaterials can play a pivotal role in addressing targeting and other challenges in cancer immunotherapy. Dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs) can enhance the efficacy of cancer vaccines by enhancing the effective loading of immune modulatory agents owing to their tunable pore sizes. In this work, an emulsion-based method is optimized to customize the pore size of DMSNs and loaded DMSNs with ovalbumin (OVA) and cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-OVA-DMSNs). The immunotherapeutic effect of DMSNs is achieved through controlled chemical release of OVA and CpG in antigen-presenting cells (APCs). The results demonstrated that CpG-OVA-DMSNs efficiently activated the immune response in APCs and reduced tumor growth in the murine B16-OVA tumor model.

Microgel Encapsulated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Releasing Wnt16 to Synergistically Treat Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2404396.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a commonly encountered degenerative joint disease in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Recent studies have shown that the excessive unbalanced activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is connected with the pathogenesis of TMJOA and due to the inability to inhibit the over-activated Wnt pathway, while Wnt16-deficient mice has a more severe Knee OA. However, the efficacy of direct intra-TMJ injection of Wnt16 for the relief of TMJOA is still not directly confirmed. Moreover, small-molecule drugs such as Wnt16 usually exhibit short-lived efficacy and poor treatment adherence. Therefore, in order to obtain a stable release of Wnt16 both in the short and long term, this study fabricates a double-layer slow-release Wnt16 carrier based on mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) encased within hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels. The biofunctional hydrogel HA/Wnt16@MSN is analyzed both in vitro and in vivo to evaluate the treatment of TMJOA. As a result, it shows superior pro-cartilage matrix restoration and inhibition of osteoclastogenesis ability, and effectively inhibits the over-activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Taken together, biofunctional hydrogel HA/Wnt16@MSN is a promising candidate for the treatment of TMJOA.

Fluffy hybrid nanoadjuvants for reversing the imbalance of osteoclastic and osteogenic niches in osteoporosis. Bioact Mater 2024; 39:354-374.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is majorly caused by an imbalance between osteoclastic and osteogenic niches. Despite the development of nationally recognized first-line anti-osteoporosis drugs, including alendronate (AL), their low bioavailability, poor uptake rate, and dose-related side effects present significant challenges in treatment. This calls for an urgent need for more effective bone-affinity drug delivery systems. In this study, we produced hybrid structures with bioactive components and stable fluffy topological morphology by cross-linking calcium and phosphorus precursors based on mesoporous silica to fabricate nanoadjuvants for AL delivery. The subsequent grafting of -PEG-DAsp8 ensured superior biocompatibility and bone targeting capacity. RNA sequencing revealed that these fluffy nanoadjuvants effectively activated adhesion pathways through CARD11 and CD34 molecular mechanisms, hence promoting cellular uptake and intracellular delivery of AL. Experiments showed that small-dose AL nanoadjuvants effectively suppress osteoclast formation and potentially promote osteogenesis. In vivo results restored the balance between osteogenic and osteoclastic niches against osteoporosis as well as the consequent significant recovery of bone mass. Therefore, this study constructed a drug nanoadjuvant with peculiar topological structures and high bone targeting capacities, efficient intracellular drug delivery as well as bone bioactivity. This provides a novel perspective on drug delivery for osteoporosis and treatment strategies for other bone diseases.

Abstract
In recent years, enzyme therapy strategies have rapidly evolved to catalyze essential biochemical reactions with therapeutic potential. These approaches hold particular promise in addressing rare genetic disorders, cancer treatment, neurodegenerative conditions, wound healing, inflammation management, and infectious disease control, among others. There are several primary reasons for the utilization of enzymes as therapeutics: their substrate specificity, their biological compatibility, and their ability to generate a high number of product molecules per enzyme unit. These features have encouraged their application in enzyme replacement therapy where the enzyme serves as the therapeutic agent to rectify abnormal metabolic and physiological processes, enzyme prodrug therapy where the enzyme initiates a clinical effect by activating prodrugs, and enzyme dynamic or starving therapy where the enzyme acts upon host substrate molecules. Currently, there are >20 commercialized products based on therapeutic enzymes, but approval rates are considerably lower than other biologicals. This has stimulated nanobiotechnology in the last years to develop nanoparticle-based solutions that integrate therapeutic enzymes. This approach aims to enhance stability, prevent rapid clearance, reduce immunogenicity, and even enable spatio-temporal activation of the therapeutic catalyst. This comprehensive review delves into emerging trends in the application of therapeutic enzymes, with a particular emphasis on the synergistic opportunities presented by incorporating enzymes into nanomaterials. Such integration holds the promise of enhancing existing therapies or even paving the way for innovative nanotherapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The distinctive morphology of dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSN) has recently attracted considerable attention in scientific community. However, synthesis of DMSN with well-defined structure and uniform size for ultrafast extraction of trace herbicide residues from environmental and food samples remains to be a compelling challenge. In this study, sulfhydryl functionalized dendritic mesoporous silica (SH-DMSN) was synthesized and the SH-DMSN showcases monodisperse microspheres with flower shape and precisely tailored and controllable pore sizes. This distinctive structural configuration accelerates mass transfer within the silica layer, resulting in heightened adsorption efficiencies. Furthermore, the particle sizes (455, 765, and 808) of the adsorbent can be meticulously fine-tuned by introducing distinct templates. Specifically, when the particle size is 765 nm, the optimized SH-DMSN exhibits a substantial specific surface area (691.32 m²/g), outstanding adsorption efficiencies (>90 %), remarkably swift adsorption and desorption kinetics (2 min and 3 min, respectively), and exceptional stability. The superior adsorption capabilities of this novel adsorbent, ranging from 481.65 to 1021.7 µg/g for organochlorine herbicides containing amide groups, can be attributed to the interplay of S-π interactions, halogen bonding, and electrostatic attraction interaction. These interactions involve the lone pair electrons of sulfhydryl and silanol groups with the π-electrons, halogen atoms and amide groups in herbicide molecules. This study not only offers a new perspective on advancing the practical utilization of dendritic mesoporous silica but also provides a pragmatic strategy for the separation and analysis of herbicides in diverse sample matrices.

Abstract
As an important tumor diagnosis strategy in precision medicine, multimodal imaging has been widely studied. However, the weak imaging signal with low spatial resolution and the constant signal of lack of specific activation severely limit its disease diagnosis. Herein, a bubble-enhanced lanthanide-based up/down-conversion platform with tumor microenvironment response for dual-mode imaging, LDNP@DMSN-Au@CaCO3 nanoparticles (named as LDAC NPs) were successfully developed. Combining the advantages of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging (FI), significantly improved the accuracy of diseases diagnosis. LDAC NPs with flower-like structure were synthesized through the encapsulation of uniform lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (NaYbF4:Ce,Er@NaYF4 named LDNPs) with dendritic mesoporous silica (DMSN). The gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were then in situ grown on the surface of DMSN and the surface were finally coated with a layer of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Under the excitation of the 980 nm laser, LDNPs showed strong emission of NIR-II at 1550 nm due to the doping of Ce and Er ions, showcasing excellent spatial resolution and deep tissue penetration characteristics, while the resulting visible light emission (540 nm) enables Au NPs to generate PAI signals with the aid of LDNPs via the fluorescence resonance energy transfer effect. In acidic tumoral environment, CaCO3 layer could produce CO2 microbubbles, and the PAI signals of LDAC NPs could be further enhanced with the generation of CO2 bubbles due to the bubble cavitation effect. Simultaneously, the NIR-II FI of LDAC NPs was self-enhanced with the degradation of the CaCO3. This intelligent nanoparticle with stimulus-activated dual-mode imaging capability holds great promise in future precision diagnostics.

Abstract
Flower-like particles have attracted much attention due to their efficient surface accessible sites and unique hierarchical porous structure. However, their synthesis is usually challenging and requires complex procedures. Herein, we present a simple method for rapid preparation of flower-like hierarchical porous TiO2 (FHP-TiO2) at room temperature for the first time. This method can accurately control the size of FHP-TiO2 from 150 nm to 400 nm by combining co-assembly and Stober reaction. The formation mechanism and influencing factors of FHP-TiO2 were systematically investigated, and its excellent metal oxide affinity was confirmed by theoretical calculations. Due to its hierarchical porous structure, large surface area and high specificity performance, FHP-TiO2 served as an appealing restricted-access adsorbent for specific and efficient enrichment of molecules with phosphate groups in a complex sample matrix, thereby realizing the quantitative analysis of these important biomolecules by coupling with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Moreover, compared with other morphologies (rough surface, and hollow dendritic and mesoporous structure) of TiO2 and flower-like SiO2, FHP-TiO2 showed the best affinity binding ability. This research not only presents a novel approach for tunable room-temperature synthesis of FHP-TiO2 with different sizes, but also expands the application of FHP-TiO2 as an appealing sample-enricher for food safety monitoring and early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
There were defects like limited osteogenesis and fast drug release in traditional magnesium phosphate bone cement (MPC). In this study, we loaded icariin in a mesoporous nano silica container modified by polydopamine and then added it and citric acid into MPC (IHP-CA MPCs). The results indicate that IHP-CA MPCs have a long curing time, almost neutral pH value, excellent injectability, and compressive strength. In vitro experiments have shown that IHP-CA MPCs have good biocompatibility and bone promoting ability. These improvements provide feasible solutions and references for the clinical application of MPCs as implants.

Abstract
The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has had a profound impact on the global health and economy. While mass vaccination for herd immunity is effective, emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants can evade spike protein-based COVID-19 vaccines. In this study, we develop a new immunization strategy by utilizing a nanocarrier, dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticle (DMSN), to deliver the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and conserved T-cell epitope peptides (DMSN-P-R), aiming to activate both humoral and cellular immune responses in the host. The synthesized DMSN had good uniformity and dispersion and showed a strong ability to load the RBD and peptide antigens, enhancing their uptake by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and promoting antigen delivery to lymph nodes. The DMSN-P-R vaccine elicited potent humoral immunity, characterized by highly specific RBD antibodies. Neutralization tests demonstrated significant antibody-mediated neutralizing activity against live SARS-CoV-2. Crucially, the DMSN-P-R vaccine also induced robust T-cell responses that were specifically stimulated by the RBD and conserved T-cell epitope peptides of SARS-CoV-2. The DMSN demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and biosafety in vitro and in vivo, along with degradability. Our study introduces a promising vaccine strategy that utilizes nanocarriers to deliver a range of antigens, effectively enhancing both humoral and cellular immune responses to prevent virus transmission.

Abstract
Proteins and peptides (PPs), as therapeutics are widely explored in the past few decades, by virtue of their inherent advantages like high specificity and biocompatibility with minimal side effects. However, owing to their macromolecular size, poor membrane permeability, and high enzymatic susceptibility, the effective delivery of PPs is often challenging. Moreover, their subjection to varying environmental conditions, when administered orally, results in PPs denaturation and structural conformation, thereby lowering their bioavailability. Hence, for effective delivery with enhanced bioavailability, protection of PPs using nanoparticle-based delivery system has gained a growing interest. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), with their tailored morphology and pore size, high surface area, easy surface modification, versatile loading capacity, excellent thermal stability, and good biocompatibility, are eligible candidates for the effective delivery of macromolecules to the target site. This review highlights the different barriers hindering the oral absorption of PPs and the various strategies available to overcome them. In addition, the potential benefits of MSNs, along with their diversifying role in controlling the loading of PPs and their release under the influence of specific stimuli, are also discussed in length. Further, the tuning of MSNs for enhanced gene transfection efficacy is also highlighted. Since extensive research is ongoing in this area, this review is concluded with an emphasis on the potential risks of MSNs that need to be addressed prior to their clinical translation.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SNP) have gained tremendous attention in the recent decades. They have been used in many different biomedical fields including diagnosis, biosensing and drug delivery. Medical uses of SNP for anti-cancer, anti-microbial and theranostic applications are especially prominent due to their exceptional performance to deliver many different small molecules and recently biologics (mRNA, siRNA, antigens, antibodies, proteins, and peptides) at targeted sites. The physical and chemical properties of SNP such as large specific surface area, tuneable particle size and porosity, excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility make them an ideal drug delivery and diagnostic platform. Based on the available data and the pre-clinical performance of SNP, recent interest has driven these innovative materials towards clinical application with many of the formulations already in Phase I and Phase II trials. Herein, the progress of SNP in biomedical field is reviewed, and their safety aspects are analysed. Importantly, we critically evaluate the key structural characteristics of SNP to overcome different biological barriers including the blood-brain barrier (BBB), skin, tumour barrier and mucosal barrier. Future directions, potential pathways, and target areas towards rapid clinical translation of SNP are also recommended.

Abstract
Nanoparticles can play valuable roles in delivering nucleic acids, including microRNAs (miRNA), which are small, non-coding RNA segments. In this way, nanoparticles may exert post-transcriptional regulatory influences on various inflammatory conditions and bone disorders. This study used biocompatible, core-cone-structured, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-CC) to deliver miRNA-26a to macrophages in order to influence osteogenesis in vitro. The loaded nanoparticles (MSN-CC-miRNA-26) showed low-level toxicity towards macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells) and were internalized efficiently, causing the reduced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as seen via real-time PCR and cytokine immunoassays. The conditioned macrophages created a favorable osteoimmune environment for MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts, driving osteogenic differentiation with enhanced osteogenic marker expression, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production, extracellular matrix formation, and calcium deposition. An indirect co-culture system revealed that direct osteogenic induction and immunomodulation by MSN-CC-miRNA-26a synergistically increased bone production due to the crosstalk between MSN-CC-miRNA-26a-conditioned macrophages and MSN-CC-miRNA-26a-treated preosteoblasts. These findings demonstrate the value of nanoparticle delivery of miR-NA-26a using MSN-CC for suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines with macrophages and for driving osteogenic differentiation in preosteoblasts via osteoimmune modulation.

Abstract
Enzyme (Enz)-mediated therapy indicated a remarkable effect in the treatment of many human cancers and diseases with an insight into clinical phases. Because of insufficient immobilization (Imb) approach and ineffective carrier, Enz therapeutic exhibits low biological efficacy and bio-physicochemical stability. Although efforts have been made to remove the limitations mentioned in clinical trials, efficient Imb-destabilization and modification of nanoparticles (NPs) remain challenging. NP internalization through insufficient membrane permeability, precise endosomal escape, and endonuclease protection following release are the primary development approaches. In recent years, innovative manipulation of the material for Enz immobilization (EI) fabrication and NP preparation has enabled nanomaterial platforms to improve Enz therapeutic outcomes and provide low-diverse clinical applications. In this review article, we examine recent advances in EI approaches and emerging views and explore the impact of Enz-mediated NPs on clinical therapeutic outcomes with at least diverse effects.

Abstract
Although mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been intensively investigated, their mesostructure and formation mechanism are still a topic of debate. Here, we show that MSNS are generated at the interface of the biphasic water-surfactant-triethanolamine-tetraalkoxysilane (TAOS) quaternary system. The spontaneous microemulsification of the hydrophobic TAOS generates microdroplets and direct micelles that both determine the particle size and the pore size. We confirmed also that the dendritic morphology with conical pores is an intermediate species, which readily transforms into regular MSNs concomitantly with the collapse of the microemulsion due to the continuous consumption of TAOS. The prominent effect of the microemulsion on the mechanism growth as a primary template is thoroughly investigated and named here tetraalkoxysilane-assisted self-emulsification templating.

Abstract
Image-guided stimulus-responsive theranostics are beneficial for identifying malignant lesions and integrating multiple cell-killing mechanisms to enhance tumor cell clearance. Herein, an intelligent dual-responsive nanostructure (HSPMH-DOX) was developed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The core-shell nanostructure was synthesized by layering polydopamine (PDA), manganese oxide (MnO2), and hyaluronic acid (HA) onto drug-loaded hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HS). The constructed nanoagent has both endogenous and external dual responses. The tumor microenvironment (pH/GSH) can trigger the degradation of gatekeeper (MnO2 and PDA), resulting in the release of anti-tumor drugs, whereas external near-infrared light irradiation can accelerate the degradation process and generate local overheating, resulting in PTT. Notably, MnO2 can not only consume intracellular GSH to enhance CDT but also release Mn2+ for precise localization of tumor tissues using MRI. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the prepared dual-response nanoagent satisfied biocompatibility, targeting, and the great efficiency of MRI-guided combined therapy. In animal models, combining chemo-PTT and CDT can eradicate tumors in less than two weeks. This work could pave the way for a wide range of stimulus-responsive synergistic theranostic applications, including MRI, chemo-photothermal therapy, and chemodynmic therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Low bioavailability and severe side effects remain the major limitations of conventional cancer chemotherapy. Image-guided combination therapy can alleviate these problems and improve tumor-specific therapy. In the present study, the anticancer drug doxorubicin was encapsulated in a core-shell hollow mesoporous silica nanostructure (HSPMH-DOX), enabling MRI-guided targeted release under both endogenous and external dual stimuli. Moreover, the photothermal and nanoenzymatic effects of nanomedicine can cause local overheating in the tumor and amplify the intracellular CDT effect, accelerating tumor eradication. Systematic evaluations in vitro and in vivo confirmed that nanomedicine enables highly effective MRI-guided synergistic chemo-photothermal and chemodynamic therapy. This work offers a promising therapeutic strategy for precise anti-tumor applications.

[PMID: 36822292 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
Streptococcus agalactiae causes systemic disease in a variety of wild and farmed fish, resulting in high levels of morbidity and mortality, as well as serious economic losses to the Nile tilapia aquaculture industry. The development of economic and applicable oral vaccines is therefore urgently needed for the sustainable development of Nile tilapia aquaculture. In this study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were fabricated using sol-gel synthesis technology, and the antigens of surface immunogenic protein (Sip) was loaded into MSNs to develop a nanovaccine MSNs-Sip@HP55. The results showed that the prepared nanovaccine exhibited pH-controlled release, which could survive in the simulated gastric environment (pH 1.5), and release antigens in the simulated intestinal environment at pH 7.4. The nanovaccine could induce innate and adaptive immune responses in Nile tilapia. When the challenge doses were 1.5 × 106, 1.18 × 106, and 0.88 × 106 CFU/mL, the relative protection rates in immunized Nile tilapia were 63.33 %, 64.23 %, and 76.31 %, respectively. Taken together, the nanovaccine exhibited a high antigen utilization rate and was easily administered orally via feeding, which could protect Nile tilapia against challenge with S. agalactiae in large-scale farms. Oral vaccine based on MSNs carriers is a potentially promising strategy for the development of fish vaccines.

Abstract
The use of nanoparticles is crucial for the development of a new generation of nanodevices for clinical applications. Silica-based nanoparticles can be tailored with a wide range of functional biopolymers with unique physicochemical properties thus providing several advantages: (1) limitation of interparticle interaction, (2) preservation of cargo and particle integrity, (3) reduction of immune response, (4) additional therapeutic effects and (5) cell targeting. Therefore, the engineering of advanced functional coatings is of utmost importance to enhance the biocompatibility of existing biomaterials. Herein we will focus on the most recent advances reported on the delivery and therapeutic use of silica-based nanoparticles containing biopolymers (proteins, nucleotides, and polysaccharides) with proven biological effects.

Abstract
Facile and controllable synthesis of functional yolk@shell structured nanospheres with a tunable inner core ('yolk') and mesoporous shell is highly desirable, yet it remains a great challenge. Herein, xx developed a strategy based on temperature-regulated swelling and restricted asymmetric shrinkage of polydopamine (PDA) nanospheres, combined with heterogeneous interface self-assembly growth. This method allows a simple and versatile preparation of PDA@mesoporous silica (MS) nanospheres exhibiting tunable yolk@shell architectures and shell pore sizes. Through reaction temperature-regulated swelling degree and confined shrinkage of PDA nanospheres, the volume ratio of the hollow cavity that the PDA core occupies can easily be tuned from ca. 2/3 to ca. 1/2, then to ca. 2/5, finally to ca. 1/3. Owing to the presence of PDA with excellent photothermal conversion capacity, the PDA@MS nanocomposites with asymmetric yolk distributions can become a colloidal nanomotor propelled by near-infrared (NIR) light. Noteworthily, the PDA@MS with half PDA yolk and microcracks in silica shell reaches 2.18 µm2 s-1 of effective diffusion coefficient (De) in the presence of 1.0 W cm-2 NIR light. This temperature-controlled swelling approach may provide new insight into the design and facile preparation of functional PDA-based yolk@shell structured nanocomposites for wide applications in biology and medicine.

Abstract
The number of people suffering from temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) has been increasing. TMJOA cause joint noise, pain on TMJ and/or masticatory muscles, and restricted mandibular movement, which disturb eating, laughing and conversation, and impose serious lifestyle impediments. Chondrocyte apoptosis, extracellular matrix degradation, synovitis, and subchondral bone remodeling are the main pathological features of TMJOA. Various drug delivery systems are developed to controlled release at specific activation sites with high bioactivity and inhibit rapid dilution to enable long-term therapeutic response, which present great potential for the treatment of TMJOA. This review focuses on recently developed drug delivery systems by different administration in the TMJOA treatment, and summarizes their effects, duration, safety, and limitations, which would pave the way for development of TMJOA therapy.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have gained increasing attention as novel drug-delivery nanostructures for the treatment of cancers, infections, inflammations, and other diseases and disorders. They are versatile in design, synthesis, modification, and functionalization. This has many advantages in terms of gene editing and gene silencing, and their application in genetic illnesses. The development of several techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, TALEN, and ZFNs has raised hopes for the treatment of genetic abnormalities, although more focused experimentation is still needed. AuNPs, however, have been much more effective in trending research on this subject. In this review, we highlight recently well-developed advancements that are relevant to cutting-edge gene therapies, namely gene editing and gene silencing in diseases caused by a single gene in humans by taking an edge of the unique properties of the AuNPs, which will be an important outlook for future research.

Abstract
Micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA)-based therapies show advantages for bone regeneration but need efficient intracellular delivery methods. Inorganic nanoparticles such as mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGN) and mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) have received growing interest in the intracellular delivery of nucleic acids. This study explores the capacity of MBGN and MSN for delivering miRNA to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) for bone regenerative purposes, with a focus on comparing the two in terms of cell viability, transfection efficiency, and osteogenic actions. Spherical MBGN and MSN with a particle size of ~200 nm and small-sized mesopores were prepared using the sol-gel method, and then the surface was modified with polyethyleneimine for miRNA loading and delivery. The results showed miRNA can be loaded into both nanoparticles within 2 h and was released sustainedly for up to 3 days. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry analysis indicated a high transfection efficiency (>64%) of both nanoparticles without statistical difference. Compared with MSN, MBGN showed stronger activation of alkaline phosphatase and activation of osteocalcin genes. This translated to a greater osteogenic effect of MBGN on BMSC, with Alizarin red staining showing greater mineralization compared with the MSN group. These findings show the potential for MBGN to be used in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Enriching the application of multifunctional dendritic mesoporous organosilica (DMOS) is still challenging in anti-cancer research. Herein, manganese ions, iron ions, or cobalt ions and tetrasulfide bonds are co-incorporated into the framework of DMOS to yield multifunctional nanoparticles denoted as Mn-DMOS, Fe-DMOS, or Co-DMOS by directly doping metal ions during the synthetic process. Due to co-incorporation of metal ions and tetrasulfide bonds, these designed nanocarriers have more functions rather than only for cargo delivery. As proof of concept, the nanocomposite is established based on Mn-DMOS as an efficient nanocarrier for indocyanine green (ICG) delivery and modification with polyethylene glycol. In the tumor microenvironment, the generated hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) arising from the reaction between tetrasulfide bond and over-expressed glutathione (GSH) causes mitochondrial injury to reduce cellular respiration. The released Mn2+ from the rapidly decomposed nanocomposite catalyzes the endogenous hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen (O2 ). The photothermal effect from the released ICG initiated by the near-infrared light induces cancer cells apoptosis and simultaneously enhances the content of blood O2 at tumor sites. Therefore, due to the GSH depletion and trimodal O2 compensation, the photodynamic therapy efficiency of ICG has significantly improved. In brief, these designed nanocarriers will play advanced roles in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Despite exceptional morphological and physicochemical attributes, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are often employed as carriers or vectors. Moreover, these conventional MSNs often suffer from various limitations in biomedicine, such as reduced drug encapsulation efficacy, deprived compatibility, and poor degradability, resulting in poor therapeutic outcomes. To address these limitations, several modifications have been corroborated to fabricating hierarchically-engineered MSNs in terms of tuning the pore sizes, modifying the surfaces, and engineering of siliceous networks. Interestingly, the further advancements of engineered MSNs lead to the generation of highly complex and nature-mimicking structures, such as Janus-type, multi-podal, and flower-like architectures, as well as streamlined tadpole-like nanomotors. In this review, we present explicit discussions relevant to these advanced hierarchical architectures in different fields of biomedicine, including drug delivery, bioimaging, tissue engineering, and miscellaneous applications, such as photoluminescence, artificial enzymes, peptide enrichment, DNA detection, and biosensing, among others. Initially, we give a brief overview of diverse, innovative stimuli-responsive (pH, light, ultrasound, and thermos)- and targeted drug delivery strategies, along with discussions on recent advancements in cancer immune therapy and applicability of advanced MSNs in other ailments related to cardiac, vascular, and nervous systems, as well as diabetes. Then, we provide initiatives taken so far in clinical translation of various silica-based materials and their scope towards clinical translation. Finally, we summarize the review with interesting perspectives on lessons learned in exploring the biomedical applications of advanced MSNs and further requirements to be explored.

Abstract
(1) Background: A proposed approach to promote periodontal tissue regeneration in cases of peri-implantitis is the local administration of growth factors at the implant site. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rh-BMP-2) can effectively promote bone regeneration and osseointegration and the development of appropriate carriers for its delivery is of paramount importance. The aim of the present study was to develop SBA-15 mesoporous nanoparticles (MSNs) with varying porosity, evaluate their biocompatibility with human Periodontal Ligament Cells (hPDLCs) and to investigate their effectiveness as carriers of rh-BMP-2. (2) Methods: SBA-15 type mesoporous silicas were synthesized via sol-gel reaction. The calcined SBA-15 samples were characterized by N2 porosimetry, Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Scanning (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Rh-BMP-2 loading and release kinetics were evaluated by UV spectroscopy. (3) Results: MSNs presented hexagonally arranged, tubular pores of varying length and diameter. Slightly higher loading capacity was achieved for SBA-15 with large pores that presented good hemocompatibility. MTT assay revealed no cytotoxic effects for all the tested materials, while SBA-15 with large pores induced a significant upregulation of cell viability at day 5. (4) Conclusions: SBA-15 MSNs may prove a valuable delivery platform towards the effective release of bone-inducing proteins.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, the principle cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) worldwide, is mainly characterized by the pathological accumulation of diseased vascular cells and apoptotic cellular debris. Atherogenesis is associated with the upregulation of CD47, a key antiphagocytic molecule that is known to render malignant cells resistant to programmed cell removal, or "efferocytosis." Here, we have developed platelet membrane-coated mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (PMSN) as a drug delivery system to target atherosclerotic plaques with the delivery of an anti-CD47 antibody. Briefly, the cell membrane coat prolonged the circulation of the particles by evading the immune recognition and provided an affinity to plaques and atherosclerotic sites. The anti-CD47 antibody then normalized the clearance of diseased vascular tissue and further ameliorated atherosclerosis by blocking CD47. In an atherosclerosis model established in ApoE-/- mice, PMSN encapsulating anti-CD47 antibody delivery significantly promoted the efferocytosis of necrotic cells in plaques. Clearing the necrotic cells greatly reduced the atherosclerotic plaque area and stabilized the plaques reducing the risk of plaque rupture and advanced thrombosis. Overall, this study demonstrated the therapeutic advantages of PMSN encapsulating anti-CD47 antibodies for atherosclerosis therapy, which holds considerable promise as a new targeted drug delivery platform for efficient therapy of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Based on the tumor microenvironment with weak acidic characteristics, a nano-drug delivery system that achieves controlled release of drugs through the pH response has been a popular strategy to improve the effectiveness of tumor therapy and reduce toxic side effects, and combining photothermal therapy (PTT) on this basis can help improve the antitumor effect. In this study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were surface-modified with polymer poly(PEGMA-co-HEMA) via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization, and a multifunctional nanoplatform MSN@poly(PEGMA-co-HEMA-g-doxorubicin (DOX)/indocyanine green (ICG) was designed for effective photothermal/chemotherapy combination therapy. The anticancer drug DOX was anchored to the polymer on the surface of MSN by reversible covalent bond cis-aconitic anhydride with a drug loading of 10%. Meanwhile, the small-molecule dye was loaded into the pores of MSN, and PTT mediated by near-infrared (NIR) radiation could further kill cancer cells. Under low-pH stimulation, the cis-aconitic anhydride bond breaks and DOX is released, with a 65% increase in cumulative drug release over 50 h compared to that at pH 7.4 (normal physiological environment). The high temperature induced by photothermal conversion accelerated the reversible covalent bond breakage, and the cumulative drug release at pH 5.0 for 3 h at elevated temperature up to 50 °C increased by 24.3% compared with that under normal physiological conditions (T = 37 °C), demonstrating that increasing the temperature can reduce the time required to reach blood drug concentration. In vitro cytotoxicity results revealed that the prodrug delivery system showed stronger cytotoxicity under NIR light irradiation compared with free DOX, with more than 90% of tumor cells killed after 48 h. Therefore, MSN@poly(PEGMA-co-HEMA-g-DOX)/ICG enhanced the synergistic effect of chemotherapy through photothermal action and accelerated reversible chemical bond cleavage, which has great potential in the combined therapy of cancer.

Quantum dots' size matters for balancing their quantity and quality in label materials to improve lateral flow immunoassay performance for C-reactive protein determination.

Abstract
Incorporating quantum dots (QDs) into dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs) for signal amplification of label materials represents an efficient strategy to improve the performance of lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs). In this work, it is found that the CdSe/ZnS QD's size matters for balancing their loading amount and quantum yields (QYs) in the DMSNs-QDs based label materials and ultimately determining the performance of LFIA. The impacts of three CdSe/ZnS QDs with diameters of 9.1, 10.5 and 11.7 nm on CdSe/ZnS QDs incorporation and LFIA applications are studied. The increase of CdSe/ZnS QDs size from 9.1 to 11.7 nm results in a decrease in CdSe/ZnS QDs loading amount and an increase in QYs of incorporated CdSe/ZnS QDs. This trade-off leads to an optimized CdSe/ZnS QDs size of 10.5 nm, which exhibits the best LFIA performance due to the balanced QDs loading (2.26 g g-1) and QY (57.1%). The 10.5 nm CdSe/ZnS QDs incorporated DMSNs-QDs for C-reactive protein (CRP) detection achieved a limit of detection of 5 pg mL-1 (equivalent to 4.2 × 10-14 M) with naked eye, which is lower than literature reports and commercial LFIA products. This study demonstrates that the CdSe/ZnS QD's size matters for improving the quality of DMSNs-QDs and their LFIA performance for CRP determination, providing new insights into the rational design of advanced label materials for improving LFIA performance.

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
Recently, a new family of "dendritic" mesoporous silica nanoparticles has attracted great interest with widespread applications. Despite a large number of publications (>800), the terminology of "dendritic" is ambiguous. Understanding what possible "dendritic structures" are, their formation mechanisms and the underlying structure-property relationship is fundamentally important. With the advance of characterization techniques such as electron tomography, two types of tree branch-like and flower-like structures can be distinguished, both described as "dendritic" in literature. In this review, we start with the definition of "dendritic", then provide critical analysis of reported dendritic silica nanoparticles according to their structural classification. We also update the understandings of the formation mechanisms of two types of "dendritic" nanoparticles, with a focus on how to control different structural parameters. Various applications of dendritic mesoporous nanoparticles are also reviewed with a focus in biomedical field, providing new insights into the structure-property relationship in this family of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by poor prognosis and high mortality. The treatment of HCC is closely related to the stage, and the early-stage of HCC patients usually accompanies a more long-term survival rate after clinical treatment. Hence, there are critical needs to develop effective imaging agents with superior diagnostic precision for HCC detection at an early stage. Recently, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) based imaging agents have gained extensive attentions in HCC detection, which can serve as a multifunctional nanoplatform with controllable size and facile surface functionalization. This perspective summarizes recent advances in MSNs based imaging agents for HCC detection by the incorporation of several clinical imaging modalities. Multi-modal imaging system has been developed for higher spatial resolution and sensitivity. Even though some limitations and challenges need to be overcome, we envision the development of novel MSNs based imaging agents will offer great potential applications in clinical HCC detection.

Abstract
The immune response plays an important role in biomaterial-mediated osteogenesis. Nanomaterials may influence immune responses and thereby alter bone regeneration. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have received much attention for drug delivery and bone regeneration. Recently, immunomodulatory effects of MSNs on osteogenesis have been reported. In this Review, we summarize the osteoimmunomodulation of MSNs, including the effects of MSN characteristics on immune cells and osteogenesis. Impacts of MSNs on immune cells vary according to nanoparticle properties, including surface topography and charge, particle size, and ion release. MSNs with suitable doses can inhibit inflammation and create an immune microenvironment beneficial for bone regeneration by activating immune cells and stimulating cytokine release. Further work is needed to explore and clarify the underlying mechanisms, including crosstalk between various types of immune cells and how to design MSNs to create a suitable immune environment for osteogenesis.

Abstract
The blood brain barrier (BBB) and blood tumour barrier (BTB) remain a major roadblock for delivering therapies to treat brain cancer. Amongst brain cancers, glioblastoma (GBM) is notoriously difficult to treat due to the challenge of delivering chemotherapeutic drugs across the BBB and into the tumour microenvironment. Consequently, GBM has high rates of tumour recurrence. Currently, limited numbers of chemotherapies are available that can cross the BBB to treat GBM. Nanomedicine is an attractive solution for treating GBM as it can augment drug penetration across the BBB and into the heterogeneous tumour site. However, very few nanomedicines exist that can easily overcome both the BBB and BTB owing to difficulty in synthesizing nanoparticles that meet the small size and surface functionality restrictions. In this study, we have developed for the first-time, a room temperature protocol to synthesise ultra-small size with large pore silica nanoparticles (USLP, size ∼30 nm, pore size >7 nm) with the ability to load high concentrations of chemotherapeutic drugs and conjugate a targeting moiety to their surface. The nanoparticles were conjugated with lactoferrin (>80 kDa), whose receptors are overexpressed by both the BBB and GBM, to achieve additional active targeting. Lactoferrin conjugated USLP (USLP-Lf) were loaded with doxorubicin - a chemotherapy agent that is known to be highly effective against GBM in vitro but cannot permeate the BBB. USLP-Lf were able to selectively permeate the BBB in vitro, and were effectively taken up by glioblastoma U87 cells. When compared to the uncoated USLP-NPs, the coating with lactoferrin significantly improved penetration of USLP into U87 tumour spheroids (after 12 hours at 100 μm distance, RFU value 19.58 vs. 49.16 respectively). Moreover, this USLP-Lf based delivery platform improved the efficacy of doxorubicin-mediated apoptosis of GBM cells in both 2D and 3D models. Collectively, our new nano-platform has the potential to overcome both the BBB and BTB to treat GBM more effectively.

Abstract
Chronic periodontal is a very common infection that instigates the destruction of oral tissue, and for its treatment, it is necessary to minimize the infection and the defects regeneration. Periodontium consists of four types of tissues: (a) cementum, (b) periodontal ligament, (c) gingiva, and 4) alveolar bone. In separated cavities, regenerative process also allows various cell proliferations. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a potential procedure that favors periodontal regrowth; however, some limitations (such as ineffective hemostatic property, poor mechanical property, and improper biodegradation) are also associated with it. This review mainly emphasizes on the following areas: (a) a summarized overview of the periodontium and its immunological situations, (b) recently utilized treatments for regeneration of distinctive periodontal tissues; (c) an overview of GTR membranes available commercially, and the latest developments on the characterization and processing of GTR membrane material; and 4) the function of the different non-polymeric/polymeric materials, which are acting as drug carriers, antibacterial agents, nanoparticles, and periodontal barrier membranes to prevent periodontal inflammation and to improve the strength of the GTR membrane.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) based therapy for bone repair has shown promising results for regulating stem cell proliferation and differentiation, an efficient and stable vector for delivery of microRNA delivery is needed. The present study explored the stability and functionality of lyophilized mesoporous silica nanoparticles with core-cone structure and coated with polyethylenimine (MSN-CC-PEI) as a system for delivering Rattus norvegicus (rno)-miRNA-26a-5p into rat marrow mesenchymal cells (rBMSCs) to promote their osteogenic differentiation. We assessed the cellular uptake and transfection efficiency of nanoparticles loaded with labelled miRNA using confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry, and the cell viability using the MTT assay. The expression levels of osteogenic genes after one and two weeks were analysed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Extracellular matrix deposition and mineralization at 3 weeks were evaluated using Picro Sirius red and Alizarin red staining. We also assessed the performance of the delivery system after long term storage, by freeze drying rno-miRNA-26a-5p@MSN-CC-PEI with 5% trehalose and keeping them at -30 °C for 3 and 6 months. Osteogenic differentiation, matrix deposition, and mineralization were all significantly increased by rno-miRNA-26a-5p. In addition, this enhancement was not significantly altered by lyophilization and storage. Overall, these findings support the concept of MSN-CC-PEI as a delivery system for gene therapy. The complex of rno-miRNA-26a-5p@MSN-CC-PEI could efficiently transfect rBMSCs and enhance their osteogenic differentiation. In addition, the lyophilized complexes remain functional after 6 months of storage.

Abstract
Tuberculosis remains a serious global health problem causing 1.3 million deaths annually. The causative pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has developed several mechanisms to evade the immune system and resistances to many conventional antibiotics, so that alternative treatment strategies are urgently needed. By isolation from bronchoalveolar lavage and peptide optimization, a new antimicrobial peptide named NapFab is discovered. While showing robust activity against extracellular Mtb, the activity of NapFab against intracellular bacteria is limited due to low intracellular availability. By loading NapFab onto dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSN) as a carrier system, cellular uptake, and consequently antimycobacterial activity against intracellular Mtb is significantly enhanced. Furthermore, using lattice light-sheet fluorescence microscopy, it can be shown that the peptide is gradually released from the DMSN inside living macrophages over time. By electron microscopy and tomography, it is demonstrated that peptide loaded DMSN are stored in vesicular structures in proximity to mycobacterial phagosomes inside the cells, but the nanoparticles are typically not in direct contact with the bacteria. Based on the combination of functional and live-cell imaging analyses, it is hypothesized that after being released from the DMSN NapFab is able to enter the bacterial phagosome and gain access to the bacilli.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Although many synthetic pathways allow to fine-tune the morphology of dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs), the control of their particle size and mesopore diameter remains a challenge. Our study focuses on either increasing the mean particle size or adjusting the pore size distribution, changing only one parameter (particle or pore size) at a time. The dependence of key morphological features (porosity; pore shape and pore dimensions) on radial distance from the particle center has been investigated in detail. EXPERIMENTS Three-dimensional reconstructions of the particles obtained by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) tomography were adapted as geometrical models for the quantification of intraparticle morphologies by radial porosity and chord length distribution analyses. Structural properties of the different synthesized DMSNs have been complementary characterized using TEM, SEM, nitrogen physisorption, and dynamic light scattering. FINDINGS The successful independent tuning of particle and pore sizes of the DMSNs could be confirmed by conventional analysis methods. Unique morphological features, which influence the uptake and release of guest molecules in biomedical applications, were uncovered from analyzing the STEM tomography-based reconstructions. It includes the quantification of structural hierarchy, identification of intrawall openings and pores, as well as the distinction of pore shapes (conical vs. cylindrical).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have gained wide interest as viable alternatives to antibiotics owing to their potent antimicrobial effects and the low propensity of resistance development. However, their physicochemical properties (solubility, charge, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity), stability issues (proteolytic or enzymatic degradation, aggregation, chemical degradation), and toxicities (interactions with blood components or cellular toxicities) limit their therapeutic applications.
Area covered
Nanomedicine-based therapeutic delivery is an emerging concept. The AMP loaded nanoparticles have been prepared and investigated for their antimicrobial effects. In this review, we will discuss different nanomedicine-based AMP delivery systems including metallic nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, and their hybrid systems along with their future prospects for potent antimicrobial efficacy.
Expert opinion
Nanomedicine-based AMP delivery is a recent approach to the treatment of bacterial infections. The advantageous properties of nanoparticles including the enhancement of AMP stability, controlled release, and targetability make them suitable for the augmentation of AMP activity. Modifications in the nanomedicine-based approach are required to overcome the problems of nanoparticle instability, shorter residence time, and toxicity. Future rigorous studies for both the AMP loaded nanoparticle preparation and characterization, and detailed evaluations of their in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial effects and toxicities, are essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a great interest in the efficient intracellular delivery of Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) and its possible applications for in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing. In this study, a nanoporous mediated gene-editing approach has been successfully performed using a bi-functionalized aminoguanidine-PEGylated periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) nanoparticles (RNP@AGu@PEG1500-PMO) as a potent and biocompatible nanocarrier for RNP delivery. RESULTS The bi-functionalized MSN-based nanomaterials have been fully characterized using electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), nitrogen adsorption measurements, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results confirm that AGu@PEG1500-PMO can be applied for gene-editing with an efficiency of about 40% as measured by GFP gene knockdown of HT1080-GFP cells with no notable change in the morphology of the cells. CONCLUSIONS Due to the high stability and biocompatibility, simple synthesis, and cost-effectiveness, the developed bi-functionalized PMO-based nano-network introduces a tailored nanocarrier that has remarkable potential as a promising trajectory for biomedical and RNP delivery applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus biofilms pose a unique challenge in healthcare due to their tolerance to a wide range of antimicrobial agents. The high cost and lengthy timeline to develop novel therapeutic agents have pushed researchers to investigate the use of nanomaterials to deliver antibiofilm agents and target biofilm infections more efficiently. Previous studies have concentrated on improving the efficacy of antibiotics by deploying nanoparticles as nanocarriers. However, the dispersal of the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix in biofilm-associated infections is also critical to the development of novel nanoparticle-based therapies. METHODS This study evaluated the efficacy of enzyme-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) biofilms. MSNs were functionalized with the enzyme lysostaphin, which causes cell lysis of S. aureus bacteria. This was combined with two other enzyme functionalized MSNs, serrapeptase and DNase I which will degrade protein and eDNA in the EPS matrix, to enhance eradication of the biofilm. Cell viability after treatment with enzyme-functionalized MSNs was assessed using a MTT assay and CLSM, while crystal violet staining was used to assess EPS removal. RESULTS The efficacy of all three enzymes against S. aureus cells and biofilms was significantly improved when they were immobilized onto MSNs. Treatment efficacy was further enhanced when the three enzymes were used in combination against both MRSA and MSSA. Regardless of biofilm maturity (24 or 48 h), near-complete dispersal and killing of MRSA biofilms were observed after treatment with the enzyme-functionalized MSNs. Disruption of mature MSSA biofilms with a polysaccharide EPS was less efficient, but cell viability was significantly reduced. CONCLUSION The combination of these three enzymes and their functionalization onto nanoparticles might extend the therapeutic options for the treatment of S. aureus infections, particularly those with a biofilm component.

Abstract
The development of near-infrared (NIR) laser triggered phototheranostics for multimodal imaging-guided combination therapy is highly desirable. However, multiple laser sources, as well as inadequate therapeutic efficacy, impede the application of phototheranostics. Here, we develop an all-in-one theranostic nanoagent PEGylated DCNP@DMSN-MoOx NPs (DCDMs) with a flower-like structure fabricated by coating uniformly sized down-conversion nanoparticles (DCNPs) with dendritic mesoporous silica (DMSN) and then loading the ultrasmall oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide nanoparticles (MoOx NPs) inside through an electrostatic interaction. Owing to the doping of Nd ions, when excited by an 808 nm laser, DCNPs emit bright NIR-II emissions (1060 and 1300 nm), which have characteristic high spatial resolution and deep tissue penetration. In terms of treatment, MoOx NPs could be specifically activated by excessive hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment, thus generating 1O2 via the Russell mechanism. In addition, the excessive glutathione (GSH) in the tumor cells could be depleted through the Mo-mediated redox reaction, thus effectively decreasing the antioxidant capacity of tumor cells. Importantly, the excellent photothermal properties (photothermal conversion efficiency of 51.5% under an 808 nm laser) synergistically accelerate the generation of 1O2. This cyclic redox reaction of molybdenum indeed ensured the high efficacy of tumor-specific therapy, leaving the normal tissues unharmed. MoOx NPs could also efficiently catalyze tumor endogenous H2O2 into a considerable amount of O2 in an acidic tumor microenvironment, thus relieving hypoxia in tumor tissues. Moreover, the computed tomography (CT) and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) effect from Gd3+ and Y3+ ions make DCNPs act as a hybrid imaging agent, allowing comprehensive analysis of tumor lesions. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments validate that such an "all-in-one" nanoplatform possesses desirable anticancer abilities under single laser source irradiation, benefiting from the NIR-II fluorescence/CT/MR multimodal imaging-guided photothermal/chemodynamic synergistic therapy. Overall, our strategy paves the way to explore other noninvasive cancer phototheranostics.
