Abstract
Phototherapy has demonstrated substantial development because in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window it has a larger tissue penetration and fewer adverse consequences. In this work, a particular kind of NIR-II responsive Fe-doped carbon nanoparticles (FDCNs) is synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal method for combined photothermal and chemodynamic therapy. The mesoporous nanostructure of FDCN, which has a size distribution that exceeds 225 nm, allows for effective acidification. The iron ions released from these nanoparticles can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radical (•OH) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In addition to their CDT utility, FDCN can effectively adsorb and transform 1064 nm light into local heat, achieving a photothermal conversion efficacy (PCE) of 36.3%. This dual functionality not only allows for the direct eradication of cancer cells through photothermal therapy (PTT) but also enhances the chemodynamic reaction, creating a synergistic effect that amplifies the therapeutic outcome. The FDCN has demonstrated remarkable anticancer activity in both cellular and animal tests without incurring major systemic toxicity. This suggests that the compound has great promise for use in clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Peptide molecules have design flexibility, self-assembly ability, high biocompatibility, good biodegradability, and easy functionalization, which promote their applications as versatile biomaterials for tissue engineering and biomedicine. In addition, the functionalization of self-assembled peptide nanomaterials with other additive components enhances their stimuli-responsive functions, promoting function-specific applications that induced by both internal and external stimulations. In this review, we demonstrate recent advance in the peptide molecular design, self-assembly, functional tailoring, and biomedical applications of peptide-based nanomaterials. The strategies on the design and synthesis of single, dual, and multiple stimuli-responsive peptide-based nanomaterials with various dimensions are analyzed, and the functional regulation of peptide nanomaterials with active components such as metal/metal oxide, DNA/RNA, polysaccharides, photosensitizers, 2D materials, and others are discussed. In addition, the designed peptide-based nanomaterials with temperature-, pH-, ion-, light-, enzyme-, and ROS-responsive abilities for drug delivery, bioimaging, cancer therapy, gene therapy, antibacterial, as well as wound healing and dressing applications are presented and discussed. This comprehensive review provides detailed methodologies and advanced techniques on the synthesis of peptide nanomaterials from molecular biology, materials science, and nanotechnology, which will guide and inspire the molecular level design of peptides with specific and multiple functions for function-specific applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Melanoma is a highly metastatic skin cancer with limited response to current therapies in advanced patients. To overcome resistance, novel treatments based on photodynamic and photothermal therapies (PDT and PTT, respectively) have been developed to treat melanoma in preclinical murine models. Despite success inhibiting implanted tumors' growth, there has been limited evaluation of their long-term effectiveness in preventing metastasis, recurrence, or improving survival rates. METHODS Combined and multidrug therapies based on PDT and/or PTT to treat cutaneous malignant melanoma in the preclinical mouse model were reviewed from 2016 onwards. PubMed® was the database in which the search was performed using mesh search algorithms resulting in fifty-one studies that comply with strict inclusion rules of screening. RESULTS B16 melanoma-bearing C57BLACK6 mice model was the most used to evaluate immunotherapies, chemotherapies, and targeted therapies in combination with PDT and/or PTT. Combined therapies demonstrated a synergistic effect, resulting in intense antitumor activity. The most extensively studied protocol for developing metastatic models involved the intravenous administration of malignant cells, with some combined therapies being tested. Furthermore, the review presents the composition of the nanostructures utilized for delivering the drugs and light-responsive agents and the treatment plans for each combined approach. CONCLUSIONS The identified mechanisms to simulate metastatic melanoma models and the therapeutic combinations may aid in evaluating the systemic protection of combined PDT and PTT-based therapies, particularly in conducting short-term preclinical experiments. Such simulations could have relevance to clinical studies.

Abstract
Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide for decades. Despite the increasing understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms, the prognosis still remains poor for many patients. Novel adjuvant therapies have emerged as a promising treatment method to augment conventional methods and boost the therapeutic effects of primary therapies. Adjuvant therapy based on nanomedicine has gained considerable interest for supporting and enhancing traditional therapies, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy, due to the tunable physicochemical features and ease of synthetic design of nanomaterials. In addition, nanomedicine can provide protective effects against other therapies by reducing adverse side effects through precise disease targeting. Therefore, nanomedicine-based adjuvant therapies have been extensively employed in a wide range of preclinical and clinical cancer treatments to overcome the drawbacks of conventional therapies. In this review, we mainly discuss the recent advances in adjuvant nanomedicine for lung cancer treatment and highlight their functions in improving the therapeutic outcome of other therapies, which may inspire new ideas for advanced lung cancer therapies and stimulate research efforts around this topic.

Abstract
Biomimetic science has attracted great interest in the fields of chemistry, biology, materials science, and energy. Biomimetic mineralization is the process of synthesizing inorganic minerals under the control of organic molecules or biomolecules under mild conditions. Peptides are the motifs that constitute proteins, and can self-assemble into various hierarchical structures and show a high affinity for inorganic substances. Therefore, peptides can be used as building blocks for the synthesis of functional biomimetic materials. With the participation of peptides, the morphology, size, and composition of mineralized materials can be controlled precisely. Peptides not only provide well-defined templates for the nucleation and growth of inorganic nanomaterials but also have the potential to confer inorganic nanomaterials with high catalytic efficiency, selectivity, and biotherapeutic functions. In this review, we systematically summarize research progress in the formation mechanism, nanostructural manipulation, and applications of peptide-templated mineralized materials. These can further inspire researchers to design structurally complex and functionalized biomimetic materials with great promising applications.

Abstract
The activation of the stimulating factor of the interferon gene (STING) pathway can enhance the immune response within the tumor. Cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a negatively charged, hydrophilic STING agonist, however, its effectiveness is limited due to the poor membrane permeability and low bioavailability. Herein, we introduced KL-7 peptide derived from Aβ amyloid fibrils that can self-assemble to form nanotubes to load and deliver c-di-GMP, which significantly enhanced c-di-GMP's effectiveness and then exhibited a robust "in situ immunity" to kill melanoma cells. KL-7 peptide nanotube, also called PNT, was loaded with negatively charged c-di-GMP via electrostatic interaction, which prepared a nanocomposite named c-di-GMP-PNT. Treatment of RAW 264.7 cells (leukemia cells in mouse macrophage) with c-di-GMP-PNT markedly stimulated the secretion of IL-6 and INF-β along with phospho-STING (Ser365) protein expression, indicating the activation of the STING pathway. In the unilateral flank B16-F10 (murine melanoma cells) tumor-bearing mouse model, compared to PNT and c-di-GMP, c-di-GMP-PNT can promote the expression of INF-β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. At the same time, up-regulated CD4 and CD8 active T cells kill tumors and enhance the immune response in tumor tissues, resulting in significant inhibition of tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. More importantly, in a bilateral flank B16-F10 tumor model, both primary and distant tumor growth can also be significantly inhibited by c-di-GMP-PNT. Moreover, c-di-GMP-PNT demonstrated no obvious biological toxicity on the main organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney) and biochemical indexes of mice. In summary, our study provides a strategy to overcome the barriers of free c-di-GMP in the tumor microenvironment and c-di-GMP-PNT may be an attractive nanomaterial for anti-tumor immunity. Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material (synthesis and characterization of KL-7 peptide; the encapsulation rate and cumulative release rate of c-di-GMP-PNT; cytotoxicity of PNT, c-di-GMP, and c-di-GMP-PNT; anti-tumor effect of c-di-GMP-PNT (equivalent to 1 and 5 µg c-di-GMP per mouse); representative immunofluorescence images; and biosafety analysis) is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s12274-022-5102-z.

Abstract
Phototherapy and multimodal synergistic phototherapy (including synergistic photothermal and photodynamic therapy as well as combined phototherapy and other therapies) are promising to achieve accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment for tumor, providing a novel opportunity to overcome cancer. Notably, various nanomaterials have made significant contributions to phototherapy through both improving therapeutic efficiency and reducing side effects. The most key factor affecting the performance of phototherapeutic nanomaterials is their microstructure which in principle determines their physicochemical properties and the resulting phototherapeutic efficiency. Vacancy defects ubiquitously existing in phototherapeutic nanomaterials have a great influence on their microstructure, and constructing and regulating vacancy defect in phototherapeutic nanomaterials is an essential and effective strategy for modulating their microstructure and improving their phototherapeutic efficacy. Thus, this inspires growing research interest in vacancy engineering strategies and vacancy-engineered nanomaterials for phototherapy. In this review, we summarize the understanding, construction, and application of vacancy defects in phototherapeutic nanomaterials. Starting from the perspective of defect chemistry and engineering, we also review the types, structural features, and properties of vacancy defects in phototherapeutic nanomaterials. Finally, we focus on the representative vacancy defective nanomaterials recently developed through vacancy engineering for phototherapy, and discuss the significant influence and role of vacancy defects on phototherapy and multimodal synergistic phototherapy. Therefore, we sincerely hope that this review can provide a profound understanding and inspiration for the design of advanced phototherapeutic nanomaterials, and significantly promote the development of the efficient therapies against tumor.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO), a glycolysis metabolite with high reactivity, can nonenzymatically modify proteins, lipids and nucleic acids etc., and it is closely related to the development of tumors. The accurate detection and high-performance optical imaging of MGO from deep tumor issues is of great significance for understanding their roles in tumor initiation and progression. Herein, we have presented a nanoprobe D/I-PNTs with emission in the first near infrared (NIR-I) region by employing a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process between a far-red emission MGO probe and IR783 based on peptide nanotubes. The nanoplatform extended the emission range of MGO probe through FRET process and avoided complex molecular design and synthesis. The biocompatible peptide nanotubes improved the water solubility of MGO probe. D/I-PNTs was sensitive to MGO with a detection limit of 272 nM and enabled high-resolution NIR-I fluorescence imaging of MGO induced by glyoxalase I (GLO1) inhibitor in tumor with higher penetration depth (∼4 mm) than that in visible (Vis) region (∼3 mm). Most importantly, the FRET process based on the structure characteristics of peptide nanotubes can be a universal approach to realize the extension of emission wavelength and ratio detection of target analytes, which will be a promising strategy for bioimaging in deep tissue with high contrast.

Abstract
Phototherapy in the second near-IR (1000-1700 nm, NIR-II) window has achieved much progress because of its high efficiency and relatively minor side effects. In this paper, a new NIR-II responsive hollow magnetite nanocluster (HMNC) for targeted and imaging-guided cancer therapy is reported. The HMNC not only provides a hollow cavity for drug loading but also serves as a contrast agent for tumor-targeted magnetic resonance imaging. The acid-induced dissolution of the HMNCs can trigger a pH-responsive drug release for chemotherapy and catalyze the hydroxyl radical (·OH) formation from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide for chemodynamic therapy. Moreover, the HMNCs can adsorb and convert NIR-II light into local heat (photothermal conversion efficacy: 36.3%), which can accelerate drug release and enhance the synergistic effect of chemo-photothermal therapy. The HMNCs show great potential as a versatile nanoplatform for targeted imaging-guided trimodal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Heating treatment is widely used in the preparation of metallic materials with controlled phase behavior and mechanical properties. However, for the soft materials assembled by short peptides, especially simple dipeptides, the detailed influences of heating treatment on the structures and functions of the materials remain largely unexplored. Here we showed that by thermal annealing or quenching of aromatic peptide solutions under kinetic control, we are able to control the self-assembly of peptide into materials with distinct phase behavior and macroscopic properties. The thermal annealing of the heated peptide solutions will lead to the formation of large nanobelts or bundles in solution, and no gels will be formed. However, by quenching the heated peptide solution, a self-supporting hydrogel will be formed quickly. Structure analysis revealed that the peptides preferred to self-assembled into much thinner and flexible nanohelices during quenching treatment. Moreover, the stability of the gels further increased with the repeated heating and quenching cycling of the peptide solutions. The results demonstrated that the heat treatment can be used to control the structure and function of self-assembled materials in a way similar to that of the conventional metallic or alloy materials.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have become a major danger to public health because of the appearance of the antibiotic resistance. The synergistic combination of multiple therapies should be more effective compared with the respective one alone, but has been rarely demonstrated in combating bacterial infections till now. Herein, oxygen-vacancy molybdenum trioxide nanodots (MoO3-x NDs) are proposed as an efficient and safe bacteriostatic. The MoO3-x NDs alone possess triple-therapy synergistic efficiency based on the single near-infrared irradiation (808 nm) regulated combination of photodynamic, photothermal, and peroxidase-like enzymatic activities. Therein, photodynamic and photothermal therapies can be both achieved under the excitation of a single wavelength light source (808 nm). Both the photodynamic and nanozyme activity can result in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to reach the broad-spectrum sterilization. Interestingly, the photothermal effect can regulate the MoO3-x NDs to their optimum enzymatic temperature (50 °C) to give sufficient ROS generation in low concentration of H2 O2 (100 µm). The MoO3-x NDs show excellent antibacterial efficiency against drug-resistance extended spectrum β-lactamases producing Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Animal experiments further indicate that the MoO3-x NDs can effectively treat wounds infected with MRSA in living systems.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a new emerging strategy for the in situ treatment of tumors. In the microenvironment of tumor cells, CDT may be achieved through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), e.g., hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2), which induce the death of tumor cells. Copper (Cu) or other transition-metal ions catalyze the production of ˙OH by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. With the development of advanced nanotechnology, nanotherapeutic systems with Cu-based nanostructures have received extensive attention and have been demonstrated for their wide applications in the design and construction of nanotherapeutic systems for CDT, along with multimodal synergistic therapy. Herein, the cutting-edge developments of Cu-based nanostructures in CDT are reviewed and discussed, by focusing on the monotherapy of CDT as well as synergistic treatments by hyphenating CDT with various therapeutic protocols, e.g., photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and so on. In addition, the potential challenges and future perspectives are described in the improvement of CDT therapeutic efficacy, the enhancement of targeting capability, and mechanistic investigations on CDT therapy.

Abstract
Metastasis is the main cause of treatment failure in breast cancer, and integrated phototheranostics is a promising strategy to achieve both precision theranostics and metastasis inhibition. In this work, a multifunctional phototheranostic nanoprobe composed of chlorin e6 (Ce6)-conjugated and polydopamine (PDA)-coated gold nanostars (AuNSs) was synthesized for simultaneous photoacoustic (PA) imaging, photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Under the irradiation of near infrared laser, AuNSs@PDA showed enhanced photothermal conversion and amplified PA imaging performance, compared with single AuNSs. By the covalent conjugation of Ce6, the AuNSs@PDA-Ce6 nanoprobe showed robust stability and excellent singlet oxygen (1O2) generation ability. Under the combination of PTT/PDT, the AuNSs@PDA-Ce6 nanoprobes significantly reduced the growth of 4T1 tumors and suppressed their lung metastasis. All the results demonstrated the considerable potential of AuNSs@PDA-Ce6 phototheranostic nanoprobes for precision theranostics and metastasis inhibition of breast cancer.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered hyperthermia has exhibited promising prospects in oncology therapy due to the unique merits including minimal invasiveness, monitorable, excellent therapeutic effect, and negligible side effects. Especially, the second NIR biowindow (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) with less absorbance and scattering by skin tissue, and deep tissue penetration, has received extensive attention for photonic hyperthermia. Unfortunately, the dissatisfactory photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) and cumbersome preparation process of photo-driven heat conversion nanomaterials seriously hamper the future clinical application. To combat the aforementioned challenges, high imaging performance and desired therapeutic outcome 1D nanorods are constructed based on gadolinium-integrated tellurium nanorods (Te-Gd). In this system, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging-guided photonic hyperthermia can be easily implemented in cooperation with Te-Gd. Importantly, Te-Gd possesses high PCE (41%) in the NIR-II biowindow because the transition of the excited electron can easily occur from the valence band (VB) to the conduction band (CB) on (1 0 1) and (1 0 2) crystal planes. Furthermore, the distinctive photostability, high tumor accumulation, as well as low systemic adverse effects of Te-Gd guarantee the potential in the clinic.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) takes the advantages of Fenton-type reactions triggered by endogenous chemical energy to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals. As a novel modality for cancer treatment, CDT shows minimal invasiveness and high tumor specificity by responding to the acidic and the highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide microenvironment of tumor. The CDT approach for spatiotemporal controllable reactive oxygen species generation exhibits preferable therapeutic performance and satisfying biosafety. In this review article, we summarized the recent advances of stimuli-activatable nanomedicines for CDT. We also overviewed the strategies for augmenting CDT performance, including increasing the catalytic efficacy through rational design of the nanomaterials, modulating the reaction condition, inputting external energy field, and regulating the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, we discussed the potential and challenges of stimuli-activatable nanomedicine for clinical translation and future development of CDT. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.
