Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) T1 contrast agents based on Fe(III) as an alternative to Gd-based compounds have been under intense scrutiny in the last 6-8 years and a number of nanostructures have been designed and proposed for in vivo diagnostic and theranostic applications. Excluding the large family of superparamagnetic iron oxides widely used as T2 -MR imaging agents that will not be covered by this review, a considerable number and type of nanoparticles (NPs) have been employed, ranging from amphiphilic polymer-based NPs, NPs containing polyphenolic binding units such as melanin-like or polycatechols, mixed metals such as Fe/Gd or Fe/Au NPs and perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions. Iron(III) exhibits several favorable magnetic properties, high biocompatibility and improved toxicity profile that place it as the paramagnetic ion of choice for the next generation of nanosized MRI and theranostic contrast agents. An analysis of the examples reported in the last decade will show the opportunities for relaxivity and MR-contrast enhancement optimization that could bring Fe(III)-doped NPs to really compete with Gd(III)-based nanosystems. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Diagnostic Tools > Diagnostic Nanodevices Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Metal ions play critical roles in facilitating peptide folding and inducing conformational transitions, thereby impacting on the biological activity of many proteins. However, the effect of metal sites on the hierarchical structures of biopolymers is still poorly understood. Herein, inspired by metalloproteins, we report an order-to-order conformational regulation in synthetic polymers mediated by a variety of metal ions. The copolymers are decorated with clinically available desferrioxamine (DFO) as an exogenous ligand template, which presents a geometric constraint toward peptide backbone via short-range hydrogen bonding interactions, thus dramatically altering the secondary conformations and self-assembly behaviors of polypeptides and allowing for a controllable β-sheet to α-helix transition modulated by metal-ligand interactions. These metallopolymers could form ferritin-inspired hierarchical structures with high stability and membrane activity for efficient brain delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and long-lasting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo.

Amino acids and doxorubicin as building blocks for metal ions-driven self-assembly of biodegradable polyprodrugs for tumor theranostics. Acta Biomater 2022; 147:245-257. [PMID: 35487428 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.04.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
On-demand designed theranostics nanoagents show promising applications for next-generation precision-and-personalized oncotherapy. Researchers have since aimed to develop nanoplatforms that can efficiently deliver drugs and contrast medium to tumor and release active ingredients in response to tumor microenvironment (TME) conditions. Herein, we propose a modular strategy, and develop a series of nanoplatforms based on metal-coordinated-polyprodrugs for cancer theranostics. The polyprodrugs were synthesized through a click-reaction between amino acid and doxorubicin (DOX) with dipropiolate. The backbones of the polyprodrugs had intrinsic sensitivities to pH and/or GSH, and provided abundant -COOH, -NH2, or -S-S- to chelate with functional metal ions and further self-assembled to form different morphologies. Dicysteine, which contains disulfide bond (-S-S-), was chosen to copolymerize with DOX and triethylene glycol dipropiolate (TEP) to prepare the pH/GSH dual-responsive polyprodrug poly(dicysteine-co-TEP-co-DOX) (pDTD), then separately coordinated with Gd3+, Fe3+, and Mn2+ to construct nanoplatforms pDTD@M (M representing the metal ions). In vitro and in vivo investigations suggest the metal-coordinated-polyprodrug nanoplatforms have good magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ability and efficient tumor-growth inhibition with high safety. The design strategy of nanoplatforms based on metal-coordinated-polyprodrugs provides a new idea for on-demand construction of promising theranostics agents. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Compared to small molecule antitumor drugs, polymeric drugs have high drug loading ratio and are easily enriched at the tumor site to achieve improved therapy efficacy. This work utilizes click reactions to link amino acids with anticancer drugs to produce polymeric drugs that are degraded in response to tumor microenvironment and released small molecule antitumor drugs mainly in tumor sites, and subtly utilizes the coordination of amino acid to chelate MRI functional metal ion to realize enhanced MRI imaging mediated tumor therapy. This strategy provides a new idea for the convenient construction of polymeric drugs for tumor theranostics.

Abstract
While low-dimensional (1D and 2D) polycatechol materials have been widely described for a range of biomedical and surface engineering applications, very few examples have been explored that focus on the construction of functional polycatechol nanoparticles. Herein, we report the facile fabrication of a series of polycatechol nanoparticles via a general and robust strategy based on the one-step oxidation reaction. IO3--induced catechol redox chemistry could facilitate the precise size control of the resulting nanoparticles and also allow the successful transfer and amplification of microscopic monomer function into macroscopic polycatechol material properties. The ease, facileness, and controllability of such a one-step fabrication process could highly promote the development of polycatechol nanomaterials for various applications.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of nanomaterials toward oxidative damage relevant diseases has attracted great attentions by offering promising advantages compared with conventional antioxidants. Although different kinds of nanoantioxidants have been well developed, the facile fabrication of robust and efficient nanoscavengers is still met with challenges like the use of toxic and high-cost subunits, the involvement of multistep synthetic process, and redundant purification work. Herein, a direct fabrication strategy toward polyphenol nanoparticles with tunable size, excellent biocompatibility, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacities from grape seed via an enzymatic polymerization method is reported. The resulting nanoparticles can efficiently prevent cell damage from ROS and exert promising in vivo antioxidant therapeutic effects on several oxidative stress-related diseases, including accelerating wound healing, inhibiting ulcerative colitis, and regulating the oxidative stress in dry eye disease. This study can stimulate the development of more kinds of low-cost, safe, and efficient biomass-based antioxidative nanomaterials via similar fabrication methodologies.

Abstract
To date, various Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been prepared for biomedical applications due to their unique structural advantages. However, the safety and effectiveness of tumor treatment still need further exploration. This contribution reports a facile synthesis of PBA with superior tumor synergetic therapeutic effects and a detailed mechanistic evaluation of their intrinsic tumor metastasis inhibition activity. The as-synthesized PBA has a uniform cube structure with a diameter of approximately 220 nm and shows high near-infrared light (NIR) photoreactivity, photothermal conversion efficiency (41.44%), and photodynamic effect. Additionally, PBA could lead to a chemodynamic effect, which is caused by the Fenton reaction and ferroptosis. The combined therapy strategy of PBA exhibits notable tumor ablation properties due to photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT)/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effects without obvious toxicity in vivo. The PBA has also shown potential as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. More importantly, careful investigations reveal that PBA displays excellent biodegradation and anti-metastasis properties. Further exploration of the PBA implies that its underlying mechanism of intrinsic tumor metastasis inhibition activity can be attributed to the modulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) expression. The considerable potential exhibited by the as-synthesized PBA makes it an ideal candidate as a synergetic therapeutic agent for tumor treatment.

Abstract
The search for alternatives to Gd-containing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents addresses the field of Fe(III)-bearing species with the expectation that the use of an essential metal ion may avoid the issues raised by the exogenous Gd. Attention is currently devoted to highly stable Fe(III) complexes with hexacoordinating ligands, although they may lack any coordinated water molecule. We found that the hexacoordinated Fe(III) complex with two units of deferasirox, a largely used iron sequestering agent, owns properties that can make it a viable alternative to Gd-based agents. Fe(deferasirox)2 displays an outstanding thermodynamic stability, a high binding affinity to human serum albumin (three molecules of complex are simultaneously bound to the protein), and a good relaxivity that increases in the range 20-80 MHz. The relaxation enhancement is due to second sphere water molecules likely forming H-bonds with the coordinating phenoxide oxygens. A further enhancement was observed upon the formation of the supramolecular adduct with albumin. The binding sites of Fe(deferasirox)2 on albumin were characterized by relaxometric competitive assays. Preliminary in vivo imaging studies on a tumor-bearing mouse model indicate that, on a 3 T MRI scanner, the contrast ability of Fe(deferasirox)2 is comparable to the one shown by the commercial Gd(DTPA) agent. ICP-MS analyses on blood samples withdrawn from healthy mice administered with a dose of 0.1 mmol/kg of Fe(deferasirox)2 showed that the complex is completely removed in 24 h.

Abstract
Iron-polyphenol nanoparticles are usually prepared with nontoxic plant polyphenols as a main building block, which are an emerging photothermal agent for photothermal therapy. However, till now, few works have been made on the controllable synthesis of iron-polyphenol nanoparticles with tunable composition, as well as investigation of the relationship between material composition and photothermal property. In the present study, iron-polyphenol colloidal nanoparticles with tunable diameter (21-303 nm) and ion content (9.2-97.6 mg/g), as well as high colloidal stability are successfully synthesized using different polyphenols (such as tannic acid, epigallocatechin gallate, gallic acid, epicatechin and proanthocyanidin) as a ligand. In addition, photothermal performance is highly dependent on the organic ligand, iron content and particle size. Higher iron content and smaller diameter can contribute to higher photothermal performance. The iron-polyphenol nanoparticles with the optimal iron content and particle size are selected as a photothermal agent. They can effectively inhibit the tumour growth in vivo. The current work demonstrates a general synthesis strategy for iron-polyphenol colloidal nanoparticles with tailorable composition and clarifies the relationship between material composition and photothermal performance. Moreover, it is conductive to the rational design of polyphenol-based photothermal agents for theranostic applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) mediated by nanomaterial has become an attractive tumor treatment method due to its obvious advantages. Among various nanomaterials, melanin-like nanoparticles with nature biocompatibility and photothermal conversion properties have attracted more and more attention. Melanin is a natural biological macromolecule widely distributed in the body and displays many fascinating physicochemical properties such as excellent biocompatibility and prominent photothermal conversion ability. Due to the similar properties, Melanin-like nanoparticles have been extensively studied and become promising candidates for clinical application. In this review, we give a comprehensive introduction to the recent advancements of melanin-like nanoparticles in the field of photothermal therapy in the past decade. In this review, the synthesis pathway, internal mechanism and basic physical and chemical properties of melanin-like nanomaterials are systematically classified and evaluated. It also summarizes the application of melanin-like nanoparticles in bioimaging and tumor photothermal therapy (PTT)in detail and discussed the challenges they faced in clinical translation rationally. Overall, melanin-like nanoparticles still have significant room for development in the field of biomedicine and are expected to applied in clinical PTT in the future.

A nephrotoxicity-free, iron-based contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging of tumors. Biomaterials 2020; 257:120234.

Abstract
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are the most widely used T1 contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and have achieved remarkable success in clinical cancer diagnosis. However, GBCAs could cause severe nephrogenic systemic fibrosis to patients with renal insufficiency. Nevertheless, GBCAs are quickly excreted from the kidneys, which shortens their imaging window and prevents long-term monitoring of the disease per injection. Herein, a nephrotoxicity-free T1 MRI contrast agent is developed by coordinating ferric iron into a telodendritic, micellar nanostructure. This new nano-enabled, iron-based contrast agent (nIBCA) not only can reduce the renal accumulation and relieve the kidney burden, but also exhibit a significantly higher tumor to noise ratio (TNR) for cancer diagnosis. In comparison with Magnevist (a clinical-used GBCA), Magnevist induces obvious nephrotoxicity while nIBCA does not, indicating that such a novel contrast agent may be applicable to renally compromised patients requiring a contrast-enhanced MRI. The nIBCA could precisely image subcutaneous brain tumors in a mouse model and the effective imaging window lasted for at least 24 h. The nIBCA also precisely highlights the intracranial brain tumor with high TNR. The nIBCA presents a potential alternative to GBCAs as it has superior biocompatibility, high TNR and effective imaging window.

Abstract
Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-dendrimer hybrid materials have attracted great interest in the past ten years. The integration of inorganic POSS and organic dendrimer blocks in a single-phase material offers numerous possibilities to access desirable mechanical, optical, and biomedical properties for various applications. In this review article, we describe several kinds of POSS-dendrimer hybrid materials (POSS as the core, surface functionality, repeating unit of dendrimers and the POSS-dendron conjugates) with an emphasis on their synthetic strategies, tunable macroscopic properties, and potential applications. Moreover, the current trends, challenges and future directions of POSS-dendrimer hybrid materials are elaborated.

Abstract
Improving diagnostic imaging and therapy by targeted compound delivery to pathological areas and across biological barriers is of urgent need. A lipopeptide, P-CrA-A2, composed of a highly cationic peptide sequence (A2), an N-terminally attached palmitoyl chain (P) and cryptophane molecule (CrA) for preferred uptake into blood-brain barrier (BBB) capillary endothelial cells, was generated. CrA allows reversible binding of Xe for NMR detection with hyperpolarized nuclei. The lipopeptide forms size-optimized micelles with a diameter of about 11 nm at low micromolar concentration. Their high local CrA payload has a strong and switchable impact on the bulk magnetization through Hyper-CEST detection. Covalent fixation of CrA does not impede micelle formation and does not hamper its host functionality but simplifies Xe access to hosts for inducing saturation transfer. Xe Hyper-CEST magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for distinguishing BBB endothelial cells from control aortic endothelial cells, and the small micelle volume with a sevenfold improved CrA-loading density compared to liposomal carriers allows preferred cell labelling with a minimally invasive volume (≈16 000-fold more efficient than 19 F cell labelling). Thus, these nanoscopic particles combine selectivity for human brain capillary endothelial cells with great sensitivity of Xe Hyper-CEST MRI and might be a potential MRI tool in brain diagnostics.

Abstract
Integration of diagnostic and therapeutic components into a single coordination polymer nanoparticle is desirable for theranostic applications, but still challenging. Herein, we report the synthesis of bimetal-phenolic coordination polymer nanoparticles using gadolinium nitrate and ferrous sulphate as a metal source, and plant polyphenols (i.e., tannic acid) as an organic ligand via a metal-catechol coordination assembly process. Such coordination polymers show a tunable molar ratio of Gd/Fe and high dispersibility and stability in aqueous solution. The coordination polymers reveal composition-dependent performance for longitudinal relaxivity and photothermal conversion. The longitudinal relaxivity is positively related to the molar ratio of Gd/Fe, while the photothermal performance is negatively related to the molar ratio of Gd/Fe in the coordination polymers. The coordination polymers with an optimized molar ratio of Gd/Fe exhibit an ultra-small hydrodynamic diameter (∼23 nm), a high r1 value (9.3 mM-1 s-1) with low r2/r1 (1.26) and high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 37%). They can be used as a contrast agent for T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of EMT-6 tumor bearing mice, which can effectively enhance the signals of tumors. They can also effectively suppress tumor growth via photothermal therapy. This work brings new insights for the synthesis of multifunctional coordination polymer nanoparticles and extending their potential applications in theranostics.

Abstract
A number of multimodal agents have been developed for tumour imaging and diagnosis, but most of them cannot be used to study the detailed physiological or pathological changes in living cells at the same time. Herein, a series of pH-responsive magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging (MRI/FI) dual-modal "nanovehicles" are developed and tested. These new dual-modal materials allow for intercellular pH sensing, and those with units that are dually sensitive towards both acidic and basic environments have the ability for intracellular pH mapping and can be used to quantify pH at the cellular level. In addition, detailed pH changes in organelles (including lysosomes and mitochondria) can be investigated at the same time. On the other hand, with the tumour-targeting peptide (cRGD)-modified dual-modal nanovehicles, in vivo tumour MR and fluorescence imaging, which is suitable for cancer diagnosis, can be achieved. Moreover, it has been proved that these materials can pass through the blood brain barrier (BBB). By combining the above mentioned promising properties, these novel multifunctional "nanovehicles" may provide a new method for studying the role of pH during cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
A great challenge still remains to explore the facile approaches to construct multifunctional nanoparticles for acquiring precise cancer theranostics. Herein, a biocompatible theranostic nanoplatform capable of simultaneous cancer imaging and therapy is attempted by loading of paclitaxel (PTX) and indocyanine green (ICG) molecules into the matrix of Gd2 O3 @human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles (PIGH NPs) via hydrophobic interaction. The subsequent in vitro investigations reveal that the PIGH NPs afford uniform particle size, sustained drug release profile, strong longitudinal relaxivity, potent photothermal effect, effective singlet oxygen generation, and ideal resistance to photobleaching. Moreover, the PIGH NPs achieve high cellular uptake, efficient cytoplasmic drug translocation based on singlet oxygen-triggered endolysosomal disruption and prominent cytotoxicity effect against 4T1 cells under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation in contrast to PTX/ICG-loaded HSA nanoparticles (PIH NPs) and free PTX/ICG. After intravenous injection, the PIGH NPs exhibit preferable tumor accumulation and achieve effective tumor ablation in 4T1 tumor bearing mouse model with excellent dual near-infrared fluorescence/magnetic resonance (NIRF/MR) imaging guided synergistic chemo-phototherapy. Hence, the PIGH NPs can be utilized as potential theranostic nanosystem for simultaneous cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Eumelanin is one of the most ubiquitous pigments in living organisms and plays an important role in coloration and UV protection. Because eumelanin is highly cross-linked and insoluble in solvents, the chemical structure is still not completely known. In this study, we used atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to compare intact eumelanosomes (pigment granules mostly made of eumelanin) from four phylogentically distant species: cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) inks, black fish crow (Corvus ossifragus) feathers, iridescent wild turkey (Melleagris gallopavo) feathers and black human hair. We found that eumelanosomes from all four species are composed of subunit nanoparticles with a length of 10-60 nm, consistent with earlier observations in eumelanosomes from the sepia ink and human hair. The solid-state NMR results indicate the presence of quinone methide tautomers in all four eumelanins. We also found clear differences in the UV absorbance, the ratio of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid/5,6-dihydroxyindole and protonated aryl carbon ratios in sepia eumelanin relative to the other three. This comparison of natural eumelanin across a phylogenetically broad group of organisms provides insights into the change in the eumelanin structure over the evolutionary history and enables the production of synthetic eumelanin with properties that are similar to natural eumelanin.

Abstract
Polyphenols, due to their high biocompatibility and wide occurrence in nature, have attracted increasing attention in the engineering of functional materials ranging from films, particles, to bulk hydrogels. Colloidal particles, such as nanogels, hollow capsules, mesoporous particles and core-shell structures, have been fabricated from polyphenols or their derivatives with a series of polymeric or biomolecular compounds through various covalent and non-covalent interactions. These particles can be designed with specific properties or functionalities, including multi-responsiveness, radical scavenging capabilities, and targeting abilities. Moreover, a range of cargos (e.g., imaging agents, anticancer drugs, therapeutic peptides or proteins, and nucleic acid fragments) can be incorporated into these particles. These cargo-loaded carriers have shown their advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, especially of cancer. In this review, we summarize the assembly of polyphenol-based particles, including polydopamine (PDA) particles, metal-phenolic network (MPN)-based particles, and polymer-phenol particles, and their potential biomedical applications in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Traditional prostate cancer therapy and especially chemotherapy has faced many challenges. Low accumulation levels, rapid clearance or drug resistance at the tumor site have been central to why the effect of chemotherapy drugs has declined. Applications of nanotechnology to biomedicine have enabled the development of nanoparticle therapeutic carriers suited for the delivery of chemotherapeutics in cancer therapy. This review describes the current nature of nanoparticle therapeutic carriers for prostate cancer. It describes typical nanocarriers commonly used for the delivery of chemotherapy or for imaging examination. Targeting strategies and related influencing factors are investigated to find ways of enhancing treatment effects of nanoparticles. The overall purpose of this review is to further understanding and to offer recommendations on the design and development of therapeutic nanoparticles for prostate cancer.

Abstract
Bortezomib (BTZ) is a first-in-class boronate proteasome inhibitor used for cancer therapy, but its therapeutic efficacy is usually inhibited by dietary polyphenols due to boronate-catechol complexation. Benefiting from such dynamic covalent chemistry, herein we describe a novel class of supramolecular nanomedicines by rationally converting natural polyphenols from foe to friend through polyphenol-mediated BTZ assembly strategy. The simple conjugation of BTZ to catechol-containing natural polyphenols via boronate ester bond allows the facile formation of dynamic drug amphiphiles, with pH-dependent assembly/disassembly behaviors under different physiological conditions. Ferric ion was also incorporated into the supramolecular system via metal-phenolic coordination interaction to both introduce bioimaging function and facilitate stability of the supramolecular nanomedicines. Our investigation revealed that the supramolecular nanomedicine consisting of natural polyphenol, BTZ and ferric ion dramatically induced apoptosis on cancer cells and suppressed tumor growth in both subcutaneous and bone tumor models with limited adverse effects. Such natural polyphenol-mediated small drug assembly strategy enables the robust fabrication of supramolecular nanomedicines for efficient delivery and controlled release of BTZ in targeted tumor sites, which could be further employed in other types of boronic acid-containing supramolecular therapeutics toward a wide range of diseases.

Abstract
Engineering a compact, near-infrared plasmonic nanostructure with integrated image-enhancing agents for combined imaging and therapy is an important nanomedical challenge. Recently, we showed that Au@SiO2@Au nanomatryoshkas (NM) are a highly promising nanostructure for hosting either T1 MRI or fluorescent contrast agents with a photothermal therapeutic response in a compact geometry. Here, we show that a near-infrared-resonant NM can provide simultaneous contrast enhancement for both T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorescence optical imaging (FOI) by encapsulating both types of contrast agents in the internal silica layer between the Au core and shell. We also show that this method of T1 enhancement is even more effective for Fe(III), a potentially safer contrast agent compared to Gd(III). Fe-NM-based contrast agents are found to have relaxivities 2× greater than those found in the widely used gadolinium chelate, Gd(III) DOTA, providing a practical alternative that would eliminate Gd(III) patient exposure entirely. This dual-modality nanostructure can enable not only tissue visualization with MRI but also fluorescence-based nanoparticle tracking for quantifying nanoparticle distributions in vivo, in addition to a near-infrared photothermal therapeutic response.

Abstract
Endogenous biomaterials in organisms, with native biocompatibility and biodegradability, appear more advantageous in the development of nanoscale diagnostic and therapeutic systems for future clinical translation. Herein, a novel tumor-targeting Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agent was developed based on Mn2+-chelating ultrasmall water-soluble melanin nanoparticles (MNP-PEG-Mn). The nanoparticles, with a size of about 5.6 nm, presented high chelation stability and showed negligible cytotoxicity as estimated by MTT assay. Moreover, the r1 longitudinal relaxivity (20.56 mM-1 s-1) of MNP-PEG-Mn was much higher than that of Gadodiamide (6.00 mM-1 s-1), which is a clinically approved MRI contrast agent. In vivo MRI experiments revealed excellent tumor-targeting specificity after tumor-bearing mice were intravenously injected with MNP-PEG-Mn. Additionally, MNP-PEG-Mn could be excreted via renal and hepatobiliary pathways with negligible toxicity to body tissues. These preliminary results indicated the clinically translatable potential of MNP-PEG-Mn as a T1 MRI contrast agent for tumor-targeted imaging.

Abstract
α-Amino acid N-thiocarboxyanhydrides (NTAs) are promising cyclic monomers to synthesize polypeptides and polypeptoids via controlled ring-opening polymerizations. Superior to N-carboxyanhydrides requiring protection on hydroxyl groups, NTAs are able to tolerate such nucleophiles. In this work, we report the synthesis of NTA monomers containing unprotected phenolic hydroxyl groups of 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (DOPA) and l-tyrosine (Tyr). Their controlled ROPs and sequential copolymerizations with polysarcosine (PSar) yield PDOPA, PTyr, and PDOPA-b-polysarcosine (PDOPA-b-PSar) products quantitatively with designable degrees of polymerization. Micellar nanoparticles of Fe3+@PDOPA-b-PSar have been prepared thanks to the strong chelation of iron(III) cation by catechol ligands that act as T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. For instance, Fe3+@PDOPA10-b-PSar50 exhibits higher longitudinal relaxivity (r1 = 5.6 mM-1 s-1) than commercial Gd3+-based compounds. Effective MRI contrast enhancement in vivo of nude mice with a moderate duration (150 min) and 3D magnetic resonance angiography in rabbit illustrated by using volume rendering and maximal intensity projection techniques ignite the clinical application of Fe3+-based polypept(o)ides in diagnostic radiology as Gd-free MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Multi-modal imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) has aroused extensive attention in biomedical research recently because it can provide more comprehensive information for accurate diagnosis and treatment. In this research, the manganese ion chelated endogenous biopolymer melanin nanoparticles were successfully prepared for magnetic resonance (MR)/photoacoustic (PA) dual-modal imaging-guided PTT. The obtained nanoparticles with an ultrasmall size of about 3.2 nm exhibited negligible cytotoxicity, high relaxivity for MRI, an excellent photothermal effect and PA activity. Moreover, in vivo MRI and PAI results all demonstrated that the nanoparticles began to diffuse in the blood after intratumoral injection into tumor-bearing mice and could spread throughout the whole tumor region at 3 h, indicating the optimal treatment time. The subsequent photothermal therapy of cancer cells in vivo was carried out and the result showed that tumor growth could be effectively inhibited without inducing any observed side effects. Besides, melanin as an endogenous biopolymer has native biocompatibility and biodegradability, and it can be excreted through both renal and hepatobiliary pathways after treatment. Therefore, the melanin-Mn nanoparticles may assist in better indicating the optimal treatment time, monitoring the therapeutic process and enhancing the therapeutic effect and showed great clinical translation potential for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Optical/MRI bimodal probes have attracted much attention due to palmary soft tissue resolution and high imaging sensitivity. In this study, poly[fluorene-co-alt-p-phenylene] containing organic radical (PFP-TEMPO+) is successfully developed for optical and MRI dual-modality bioimaging. PFP-TEMPO+ displays advanced properties such as fluorescence emission, high photostablilty, reasonable T1 relaxation effect, low cytotoxicity, and good biocompatibility. Moreover, the ability of PFP-TEMPO+ for tumor tissues imaging confirms that it could be used as an optical and MRI imaging probe for in vivo imaging. The results of the present work disclose the potential applications of PFP-TEMPO+ as an optical and MRI contrast agent.

Abstract
This study reports the preparation of a series of gadolinium-polydopamine nanoparticles (GdPD-NPs) with tunable metal loadings. GdPD-NPs are analyzed by nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion and with a 7-tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. A relaxivity of 75 and 10.3 mM-1 s-1 at 1.4 and 7 T is observed, respectively. Furthermore, superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry is used to study intraparticle magnetic interactions and determine the GdPD-NPs consist of isolated metal ions even at maximum metal loadings. From these data, it is concluded that the observed high relaxivities arise from a high hydration state of the Gd(III) at the particle surface, fast rate of water exchange, and negligible antiferromagnetic coupling between Gd(III) centers throughout the particles. This study highlights design parameters and a robust synthetic approach that aid in the development of this scaffold for T1 -weighted, high relaxivity MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Extensive efforts have been devoted to the development of surfactant-free electronic ink (E-ink) with excellent display resolution for high-definition resolution display. Herein, we report the use of polydopamine-based synthetic melanin, a class of functional nanoparticles with similar chemical compositions and physical properties to those of naturally occurring melanin, as a new E-ink material. It was found that such E-ink displays could achieve ultrahigh resolution (>10 000 ppi) and low power consumption (operation voltage of only 1 V) in aqueous solutions. Interestingly, simple oxidation of synthetic melanin nanoparticles enables the generation of intrinsic fluorescence, allowing further development of fluorescent E-ink displays with nanoscale resolution. We describe these bioinspired materials in an initial proof-of-concept study and propose that synthetic melanin nanoparticles will be suitable for electronic nanoinks with a potential wide range of applications in molecular patterning and fluorescence bioimaging.

Abstract
Magnetic nanomaterials integrating supplemental functional materials are called magnetic hybrid nanomaterials (MHNs). Such MHNs have drawn increasing attention due to their biocompatibility and the potential applications either as alternative contrast enhancing agents or effective heat nanomediators in hyperthermia therapy. The joint function comes from the hybrid nanostructures. Hybrid nanostructures of different modification can be easily achieved owing to the large surface-area-to-volume ratio and sophisticated surface characteristic. In this focus article, we mainly discussed the design and synthesis of MHNs and their applications as multimodal imaging probes and therapy agents in biomedicine. These MHNs consisting magnetic nanomaterials with functional nanocomponents such as noble metal or isotopes could perform not only superparamagnetism but also features that can be adapted in, for example, enhancing computed tomography contrast modalities, positron emission tomography, and single-photon emission computed tomography. The combination of several techniques provides more comprehensive information by both synergizing the advantages, such as quantitative evaluation, higher sensitivity and spatial resolution, and mitigating the disadvantages. Such hybrid nanostructures could also provide a unique nanoplatform for enhanced medical tracing, magnetic field, and light-triggered hyperthermia. Moreover, potential advantages and opportunities will be achieved via a combination of diagnostic and therapeutic agents within a single platform, which is so-called 'theranostics.' We expect the combination of unique structural characteristics and integrated functions of multicomponent magnetic hybrid nanomaterials will attract increasing research interest and could lead to new opportunities in nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
Catechol-Fe3+ coordinated micelles show the potential for achieving on-demand drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging in a single nanoplatform. Herein, we developed bioinspired coordination-cross-linked amphiphilic polymeric micelles loaded with a model anticancer agent, doxorubicin (Dox). The nanoscale micelles could tolerate substantial dilution to a condition below the critical micelle concentration (9.4 ± 0.3 μg/mL) without sacrificing the nanocarrier integrity due to the catechol-Fe3+ coordinated core cross-linking. Under acidic conditions (pH 5.0), the release rate of Dox was significantly faster compared to that at pH 7.4 as a consequence of coordination collapse and particle de-cross-linking. The cell viability study in 4T1 cells showed no toxicity regarding placebo cross-linked micelles. The micelles with improved stability showed a dramatically increased Dox accumulation in tumors and hence the enhanced suppression of tumor growth in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. The presence of Fe3+ endowed the micelles T1-weighted MRI capability both in vitro and in vivo without the incorporation of traditional toxic paramagnetic contrast agents. The current work presented a simple "three birds with one stone" approach to engineer the robust theranostic nanomedicine platform.

Abstract
We describe a synthetic method for increasing and controlling the iron loading of synthetic melanin nanoparticles and use the resulting materials to perform a systematic quantitative investigation on their structure-property relationship. A comprehensive analysis by magnetometry, electron paramagnetic resonance, and nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion reveals the complexities of their magnetic behavior and how these intraparticle magnetic interactions manifest in useful material properties such as their performance as MRI contrast agents. This analysis allows predictions of the optimal iron loading through a quantitative modeling of antiferromagnetic coupling that arises from proximal iron ions. This study provides a detailed understanding of this complex class of synthetic biomaterials and gives insight into interactions and structures prevalent in naturally occurring melanins.

Abstract
Healing of nerve injuries is a critical medical issue. Biodegradable polymeric conduits are a promising therapeutic solution to provide guidance for axon growth in a given space, thus helping nerve heal. Extensive studies in the past decade reported that conductive materials could effectively increase neurite and axon extension in vitro and nerve regeneration in vivo. In this study, graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes were covalently functionalized with double bonds to obtain crosslinkable graphene oxide acrylate (GOa) sheets and carbon nanotube poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate (CNTpega). An electrically conductive reduced GOa-CNTpega-oligo(polyethylene glycol fumarate) (OPF) hydrogel (rGOa-CNTpega-OPF) was successfully fabricated by chemically crosslinking GOa sheets and CNTpega with OPF chains followed by in situ chemical reduction in l-ascorbic acid solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging showed homogenous distribution of GOa/CNTpega carbon content in the rGOa-CNTpega-OPF composite hydrogel, resulting in a significant increase of electrical conductivity compared with neutral OPF without carbon content. Cell studies showed excellent biocompatibility and distinguished PC12 cell proliferation and spreading on the rGOa-CNTpega-OPF composite hydrogel. Fluorescent microscopy imaging demonstrated robustly stimulated neurite development in these cells on a conductive rGOa-CNTpega-OPF composite hydrogel compared with that on neutral OPF hydrogels. These results illustrated a promising potential for the rGOa-CNTpega-OPF composite hydrogel to serve as conduits for neural tissue engineering.
