Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is authenticated in clinical treatment, while it generally exhibits unfavorable chemodynamic therapy (CDT) performance. Herein, we developed manganese-doped prussian blue (PBM) nanoparticles to significantly enhance both CDT and photothermal therapy (PTT) effect. The lower redox potential of Mn3+/2+ (0.088 V) in PBM against that of Fe2+/3+ (0.192 V) in PB leads to favorable electron transfer of PBM with respect to PB. Besides, PBM has a lower charge-transfer resistance (Rct) of 2.98 Ω than 4.83 Ω of PB. Once PBM entering the tumor microenvironment (TME), Mn3+ may be readily reduced by glutathione (GSH) and therein to enhance intracellular oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of PBM facilitates the conversion of endogenous superoxide (O2•-) into H2O2. Mn2+ subsequently catalyzes H2O2 to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Notably, the PBM plus laser irradiation can effectively trigger a robust immunogenic cell death (ICD) due to the combination therapy of CDT and PTT. Additionally, the mice treated by PBM followed by laser irradiation efficiently avoided splenomegaly and lung metastasis, along with significant up-regulation of the Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) expression. Overall, PBM significantly inhibits tumor growth and metastasis, making it a promising multifunctional nanoplatform for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is recognized as a promising cancer treatment. Recently, copper sulfide nanostructures have been extensively employed as Fenton-like reagents that catalyze the formation of acutely toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, CDT therapeutic potency is restricted by the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as insufficient amounts of hydrogen peroxide, excessive glutathione levels, etc. To address these disadvantages, glucose oxidase (GOx) or catalase (CAT) can be utilized to enhance CDT, while low therapeutic efficacy still inhibits their future applications. Our previous study revealed that mild photothermal effect could boost the CDT catalytic effectiveness as well as GOx enzyme activity over a range. Results: We engineered and constructed a hollow CuS nanoplatform loaded with GOx and CAT, coating with macrophage membranes (M@GOx-CAT@CuS NPs). The nanoplatforms allowed enhancement of the reactive oxygen species creation rate and GOx catalytic activeness of CDT through mild phototherapy directed by photoacoustic imaging. After actively targeting vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in cancer cells mediated by macrophage membrane coating, M@GOx-CAT@CuS NPs released GOx and CAT under near-infrared irradiation. GOx catalyzed the formation of H2O2 and gluconic acid with glucose, creating a better catalytic environment for CDT. Meanwhile, CAT-catalyzed H2O2 decomposition to generate sufficient oxygen, appropriately alleviating the oxygen shortage in the TME. In addition, starvation effects decreased adenosine triphosphate levels and further underregulated heat shock protein expression to reduce the heat resistance of tumor cells, resulting in a better mild phototherapy outcome. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the newly developed M@GOx-CAT@CuS nanoplatform has remarkable synergistic anticancer therapeutic effects. Conclusion: The cascade reaction-enhanced biomimetic nanoplatform opens up a new avenue for precision tumor diagnostic and therapeutic research.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have become an effective tool for tumor treatment. The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) takes advantage of various ROS and enhances therapeutic effects. However, the activation of CDT usually occurs before PDT, which hinders the sustained maintenance of hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) and reduces the treatment efficiency. Herein, we present a light-triggered nano-system based on molecular aggregation regulation for converting cancer therapy from PDT/photothermal therapy (PTT) to a long-lasting CDT. The ordered J-aggregation enhances the photodynamic properties of the cyanine moiety while simultaneously suppressing the chemodynamic capabilities of the copper-porphyrin moiety. Upon light irradiation, Cu-PCy JNPs demonstrate strong photodynamic and photothermal effects. Meanwhile, light triggers a rapid degradation of the cyanine backbone, leading to the destruction of the J-aggregation. As a result, a long-lasting CDT is sequentially activated, and the sustained generation of ⋅OH is observed for up to 48 hours, causing potent cellular oxidative stress and apoptosis. Due to their excellent tumor accumulation, Cu-PCy JNPs exhibit effective in vivo tumor ablation through the converting therapy. This work provides a new approach for effectively prolonging the chemodynamic activity in ROS-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
One of the representative coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) material, is of hotspot interest in the multi field thanks to their unique structural characteristics and properties. As a novel hierarchical structural class, MOFs show diverse topologies, intrinsic behaviors, flexibility, etc. However, bare MOFs have less desirable biofunction, high humid sensitivity and instability in water, restraining their efficiencies in biomedical and environmental applications. Thus, a structural modification is required to address such drawbacks. Herein, we pinpoint new strategies in the synthesis and functionalization of MOFs to meet demanding requirements in in vitro tests, i.e., antibacterial face masks against corona virus infection and in wound healing and nanocarriers for drug delivery in anticancer. Regarding the treatment of wastewater containing emerging pollutants such as POPs, PFAS, and PPCPs, functionalized MOFs showed excellent performance with high efficiency and selectivity. Challenges in toxicity, vast database of clinical trials for biomedical tests and production cost can be still presented. MOFs-based composites can be, however, a bright candidate for reasonable replacement of traditional nanomaterials in biomedical and wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based cancer therapy faces significant limitations due to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Starvation therapy is an emerging therapeutic approach that targets tumor cell metabolism using glucose oxidase (GOx). Importantly, it can provide a material or environmental foundation for other diverse therapeutic methods by manipulating the properties of the TME, such as acidity, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels, and hypoxia degree. In recent years, this cascade strategy has been extensively applied in nanoplatforms for ongoing synergetic therapy and still holds undeniable potential. However, only a few review articles comprehensively elucidate the rational designs of nanoplatforms for synergetic therapeutic regimens revolving around the conception of the cascade strategy. Therefore, this review focuses on innovative cascade strategies for GOx-based synergetic therapy from representative paradigms to state-of-the-art reports to provide an instructive, comprehensive, and insightful reference for readers. Thereafter, we discuss the remaining challenges and offer a critical perspective on the further advancement of GOx-facilitated cancer treatment toward clinical translation.

Abstract
Tumor cells may be eliminated by increasing their temperature. This is achieved via photothermal therapy (PTT) by penetrating the tumor tissue with near-infrared light and converting light energy into heat using photothermal agents. Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) are commonly used as PTAs in PTT. In this review, we aimed to discuss the synergism between tumor PTT with CuS NPs and other therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, dynamic therapies (photodynamic, chemodynamic, and sonodynamic therapy), immunotherapy, gene therapy, gas therapy, and magnetic hyperthermia. Furthermore, we summarized the results obtained with a combination of two treatments and at least two therapies, with PTT as one of the included therapies. Finally, we summarized the benefits and drawbacks of various therapeutic options and state of the art CuS-based PTT and provided future directions for such therapies.

Abstract
This work introduces a novel multifunctional system called UPIPF (upconversion-polydopamine-indocyanine-polyethylene-folic) for upconversion luminescent (UCL) imaging of cancer cells using near-infrared (NIR) illumination. The system demonstrates efficient inhibition of human hepatoma (HepG2) cancer cells through a combination of NIR-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) and enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT). Initially, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) are synthesized using a simple thermal decomposition method. To improve their biocompatibility and aqueous dispersibility, polydopamine (PDA) is introduced to the UCNP via a ligand exchange technique. Indocyanine green (ICG) molecules are electrostatically attached to the surface of the UCNP-polydopamine (UCNP@PDAs) complex to enhance the PDT and PTT effects. Moreover, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified folic acid (FA) is incorporated into the UCNP-polydopamine-indocyanine-green (UCNP@PDA-ICGs) nanoparticles to enhance their targeting capability against cancer cells. The excellent UCL properties of these UCNP enable the final UCNP@PDA-ICG-PEG-FA nanoparticles (referred to as UPIPF) to serve as a potential candidate for efficient anticancer drug delivery, real-time imaging, and early diagnosis of cancer cells. Furthermore, the UPIPF system exhibits PDT-assisted PTT effects, providing a convenient approach for efficient cancer cell inhibition (more than 99% of cells are killed). The prepared UPIPF system shows promise for early diagnosis and simultaneous treatment of malignant cancers.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has garnered significant interest as an innovative approach for cancer treatment, owing to its notable tumor specificity and selectivity, minimal systemic toxicity and side effects, and absence of the requirement for field stimulation during treatment. This treatment utilizes nanocatalytic medicines containing transitional metals to release metal ions within tumor cells, subsequently initiating Fenton and Fenton-like reactions. These reactions convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radical (•OH) specifically within the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby inducing apoptosis in tumor cells. However, insufficient endogenous H2O2, the overexpressed reducing substances in the TME, and the weak acidity of solid tumors limit the performance of CDT and restrict its application in vivo. Therefore, a variety of nanozymes and strategies have been designed and developed in order to potentiate CDT against tumors, including the application of various nanozymes and different strategies to remodel TME for enhanced CDT (e.g., increasing the H2O2 level in situ, depleting reductive substances, and lowering the pH value). This review presents an overview of the design and development of various nanocatalysts and the corresponding strategies employed to enhance catalytic drug targeting in recent years. Additionally, it delves into the prospects and obstacles that lie ahead for the future advancement of CDT.

Abstract
In the complex and severe tumor microenvironment, the antitumor efficiency of nanomedicines is significantly limited by their low-efficacy monotherapy, non-tumor targeting, and systemic toxicity. Herein, to achieve tumor-targeted and enhanced chemodynamic/photothermal therapy (CDT/PTT), we fabricated an "all-in-one" biocompatible transferrin-loaded cobalt ferrate nanoparticle (CoFe2O4@Tf (CFOT)) with multiple functions by a simple solvothermal method and the following transferrin (Tf) functionalization. Upon exposure to 808 nm laser irradiation, CFOT, as a novel photothermal agent, exhibited outstanding phototherapeutic activity because of its excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 46.5%) for high-performance PTT. Moreover, CFOT with multiple redox pairs could efficiently convert endogenous H2O2 to hazardous hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) via Fenton reactions while scavenging overexpressed GSH in the tumor microenvironment to realize self-reinforcing CDT. Importantly, CFOT undergoes a promoted Fenton-type reaction upon increasing the temperature under a photothermal effect and could augment PTT by high-level ˙OH, exhibiting a considerably enhanced synergistic therapeutic effect. In vitro and in vivo experimental results demonstrated that CFOT has good potential as an "all-in-one" nanoagent to combine photothermal, chemodynamic, and tumor targeting for efficient tumor elimination.

Abstract
Developing a small molecular photosensitizer to achieve multimodal phototherapy has recently garnered attention as a promising strategy for efficient cancer treatment. However, synthesis of a multifunctional small molecular photosensitizer has remained challenging. Here we report an aggregation-induced-emission (AIE)-featured luminogen (AIEgen) TPA-BTZ decorated with long and branched alkyl chains. TPA-BTZ shows long-wavelength emission at ca. 800 nm in the NIR-I region. Moreover, upon laser irradiation, TPA-BTZ could produce O2˙- and 1O2via both type I and type II mechanisms for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). The propeller-like structure triphenylamine (TPA) rotators not only endow TPA-BTZ with AIE characteristics but also facilitate heat generation by intramolecular rotation for photothermal therapy (PTT). More importantly, long and branched alkyl chains can create intermolecular spatial isolation in the fabricated TPA-BTZ@PEG2000 nanoparticles (NPs) to allow sufficient intramolecular motion for photothermal conversion. Due to these unique features, in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrate that the TPA-BTZ@PEG2000 NPs exhibited long-term NIR-imaging ability, superior tumoricidal activity, and suppressed tumor growth. This research provides new insights for developing new AIEgens for NIR imaging-guided multimodal phototherapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women that is associated with high mortality. Conventional treatments including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, which are not effective enough and have disadvantages such as toxicity and damage to healthy cells. Photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer cells has been took great attention by researchers in recent years due to the use of light radiation and heat generation at the tumor site, which thermal ablation is considered a minimally invasive method for the treatment of breast cancer. Nanotechnology has opened up a new perspective in the treatment of breast cancer using PTT method. Through NIR light absorption, researchers applied various nanostructures because of their specific nature of penetrating and targeting tumor tissue, increasing the effectiveness of PTT, and combining it with other treatments. If PTT is used with common cancer treatments, it can dramatically increase the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the side effects of other methods. PTT performance can also be improved by hybridizing at least two different nanomaterials. Nanoparticles that intensely absorb light and increase the efficiency of converting light into heat can specifically kill tumors through hyperthermia of cancer cells. One of the main reasons that have increased the efficiency of nanoparticles in PTT is their permeability and durability effect and they can accumulate in tumor tissue. Targeted PTT can be provided by incorporating specific ligands to target receptors expressed on the surface of cancer cells on nanoparticles. These nanoparticles can specifically target cancer cells by maintaining the surface area and increasing penetration. In this study, we briefly introduce the performance of light therapy, application of metal nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, carbon nanoparticles, and hybrid nanoparticles for use in PTT of breast cancer.

Abstract
The current serious mismatch between the increasing severity of bacterial infections and antibiotic production capacity urgently requires the emergence of novel antimicrobial materials. In this paper, dopamine methacrylamide (DMA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) were polymerized as the monomers into a block copolymer poly(dopamine methacrylamide-block-N-isopropylacrylamide) (P(DA-NIP)) and then encapsulated with polydopamine-coated magnetic nanoparticle clusters (MNC) to produce an antibacterial nanocomposite (MNC@P(DA-NIP)). This nanocomposite has triple responses respectively to light, heat and magnetism, which endow MNC@P(DA-NIP) with the abilities to kill bacteria effectively and capture/release bacteria conveniently. Under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, MNC@P(DA-NIP) could significantly elevate the temperature through photothermal conversion. The increased temperature favored both the capture of bacteria on MNC@P(DA-NIP), and the damage of bacterial cells, causing bacterial death almost completely. While low temperatures could promote the release of dead bacteria from the nanocomposites, might through the recovery of the hydrophilic state of the outlayer PNIPAM. Moreover, thanks to the magnetic responsibility, MNC@P(DA-NIP) could be easily separated from the bacterial cells and perform better biofilm penetration. The results showed that the antibacterial effect of MNC@P(DA-NIP) was 3.5 times higher than that of MNC, and the recycling capacity of MNC@P(DA-NIP) was better than MNC@PDA. What's more, MNC@P(DA-NIP) possessed the excellent anti-biofilm properties under magnetic field (MF) and NIR. The most important features of the triple-responsive nanocomposites are excellent antibacterial effect, good recyclability and easy preparation, which provide the nanocomposites with great potential in eliminating harmful bacterial cells.

Abstract
The increasing cancer morbidity and mortality requires the development of high-efficiency and low-toxicity anticancer approaches. In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention in cancer therapy due to its non-invasive features and low side effects. Photosensitizer (PS) is one of the key factors of PDT, and its successful delivery largely determines the outcome of PDT. Although a few PS molecules have been approved for clinical use, PDT is still limited by the low stability and poor tumor targeting capacity of PSs. Various nanomaterial systems have shown great potentials in improving PDT, such as metal nanoparticles, graphene-based nanomaterials, liposomes, ROS-sensitive nanocarriers and supramolecular nanomaterials. The small molecular PSs can be loaded in functional nanomaterials to enhance the PS stability and tumor targeted delivery, and some functionalized nanomaterials themselves can be directly used as PSs. Herein, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of PDT, and summarize the recent progress of nanomaterials-based PSs and delivery systems in anticancer PDT. In addition, the concerns of nanomaterials-based PDT including low tumor targeting capacity, limited light penetration, hypoxia and nonspecific protein corona formation are discussed. The possible solutions to these concerns are also discussed.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel cancer therapeutic strategy defined as the treatment using Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce •OH in the tumor region, was first proposed by Bu, Shi, and co-workers in 2016. Recently, with the rapid development of Fenton and Fenton-like nanomaterials, CDT has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique advantages: 1) It is tumor-selective with low side effects; 2) the CDT process does not depend on external field stimulation; 3) it can modulate the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; 4) the treatment cost of CDT is low. In addition to the Fe-involved CDT strategies, the Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT strategies have also been proposed, which are based on many other metal elements including copper, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, palladium, silver, molybdenum, ruthenium, tungsten, cerium, and zinc. Moreover, CDT has been combined with other therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy for achieving enhanced anticancer effects. Besides, there have also been studies that extend the application of CDT to the antibacterial field. This review introduces the latest advancements in the nanomaterials-involved CDT from 2018 to the present and proposes the current limitations as well as future research directions in the related field.

Abstract
Disulfiram (DSF) has a copper (II)-potentiated anticancer activity in various cancers. Synchronous delivery of DSF and cupric ions to tumor tissues is challenging but holds great potential in improving antitumor outcomes and promoting clinical translation. Herein, we reported a disulfiram prodrug (DQ)-loaded and glucose oxidase (GOD) conjugated copper (II)-based nanoscale metal-organic framework (MOF), MPDG, for tumor-specific, enhanced chemo-chemodynamic therapy. Copper MOF, MOF-199, played a dual role of drug nanocarrier of DQ and copper ion reservoir for sufficient generation of copper (II) diethylthiocarbamate (Cu(DTC)2), a complex of DSF and Cu2+. GOD improved the stability of Cu(II) nano-depot and enabled catalytic generation of H2O2 in response to high concentration of glucose in cancer cells. The catalytically generating and endogenous H2O2 boosted the activation of encapsulated H2O2-activatable prodrug DQ to generate highly cytotoxic Cu(CDTC)2 in situ for tumor-specific chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the elevated H2O2 significantly augmented the production of OH for enhanced chemodynamic therapy. The self-activated amplified chemo-chemodynamic therapy nanosystem led to a significantly enhanced inhibition of 4T1 murine breast cancer cells (half inhibitory concentration reduced from 5 μg/mL to 0.8 μg/mL) in the presence of glucose. The in vivo study verified that MPDG showed the highest tumor inhibition rate of 86.2% and negligible toxicity to main organs. Overall, this study provides a novel disulfiram prodrug/Cu2+ co-delivery strategy for enhanced and selective cancer treatment.

Abstract
We prepared a biocompatible AuAg nanocages/graphdiyne @ polyethylene glycol (AuAg/GDY@PEG) composite. The combination of AuAg and GDY to obtain a synergistically enhanced photothermal effect, and the antibacterial effect of GDY and AuAg are used in combined anti-infective therapy. The in vitro antibacterial activity of AuAg/GDY@PEG was investigated, showing an impressive broad-spectrum antibacterial activity with the killing rate > 99.999%. Based on the photothermal conversion ability of AuAg/GDY@PEG, a simple photothermal immunoassay for pathogenic bacteria was successfully established. Sandwich immune response was performed on a microporous plate, the microplate containing the antibody binds specifically to the bacterium being tested, which then binds to the material with the antibody on its surface, and the signal was a change in temperature under 808 nm near-infrared light. The limit of detection (LOD) for S. typhimurium detection is 103 CFU mL-1, with a range of 103-107 CFU mL-1. This method is accurate, rapid and low-cost, which can be used for on-site detection of pathogenic bacteria in food.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising strategy for the treatment of advanced malignant neoplasm. However, the anti-tumor efficacy by PTT alone is insufficient to control tumor growth and metastasis. Here, we report a multifunctional nanotherapeutic system exerting a combined PTT and immunotherapy to synergistically enhance the therapeutic effect on melanoma. In particular, we selected the semiconductor nanomaterial copper sulfide (CuS), which served not only as a near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered photothermal converter for tumor hyperthermia but as a basic carrier to modify Cas9 ribonucleoprotein targeting PTPN2 on its surface. Efficient PTPN2 depletion was observed after the treatment of CuS-RNP@PEI nanoparticles, which caused the accumulation of intratumoral infiltrating CD8 T lymphocytes in tumor-bearing mice and upregulated the expression levels of IFN-ᵧ and TNF-α in tumor tissue, thus sensitizing tumors to immunotherapy. In addition, the effect worked synergistically with tumor ablation and immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by PTT to amplify anti-tumor efficacy. Taken together, this exogenously controlled method provides a simple and effective treatment option for advanced malignant neoplasm.

Abstract
Although the combination of photothermal/chemodynamic therapy (PTT/CDT) based on various inorganic nanomaterials has promising anticancer effects, poor biocompatibility and biodegradability of inorganic nanoplatforms pose obstacles to their use in clinic. On the contrary, nanoscale metal-organic particles are considered to be a promising platform because of their biocompatibility and efficient metabolism. Herein, HA@Cy-Cu NPs are prepared using the coordination-driven assembly of cyanine dyes with Cu2+ ions. HA@Cy-Cu NPs demonstrate excellent synergistic PTT/CDT, a high photothermal conversion efficiency (43%), and enhanced photostability. Moreover, Cu2+ in the NPs can be reduced to Cu+ by glutathione (GSH) and can transform H2 O2 to •OH, which down-regulates intracellular GSH levels and up-regulates significant oxidative damage. Therefore, promising in vivo tumor ablation is observed at a low dose of HA@Cy-Cu, suggesting that the combination of PTT/CDT greatly improved the antitumor performance. HA@Cy-Cu can further improve organic nano-systems for anti-tumor therapy by integrating PTT and CDT.

Abstract
Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive malignant disease with a high rate of recurrence and metastasis, few effective treatment options and poor prognosis. Here, we designed and constructed a combined photothermal immunotherapy strategy based on cancer cell membrane-coated biomimetic black phosphorus quantum dots (BBPQDs) for tumor-targeted photothermal therapy and anti-PD-L1 mediated immunotherapy. Results BBPQDs have good photothermal conversion efficiency and can efficiently target tumor cells through homologous targeting and tumor homing. Under near infrared irradiation, we found that BBPQDs kill tumors directly through photothermal effects and induce dendritic cells maturation. In vivo studies have confirmed that the combined photothermal immunotherapy strategy displays a stronger antitumor activity than anti-PD-L1 monotherapy. In addition, BBPQDs-mediated photothermal therapy in combination with anti-PD-L1 treatment inhibit tumor recurrence and metastasis by reprograming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment into an immune-active microenvironment, and promoting the local and systemic antitumor immune response. We further found that the combined photothermal immunotherapy strategy can produce an immune memory effect against tumor rechallenge. Conclusions This study provides a novel therapeutic strategy for inhibiting the recurrence and metastasis of TNBC, with broad application prospects.![]() Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12951-021-00932-2.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent type of primary liver cancer, and is ranked the sixth most common neoplasm and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Photothermal therapy (PTT) for thermal ablation of local tumors has recently emerged as a therapeutic strategy. However, the relatively high temperature of over 50 °C may lead to unexpected heat-related damage to tumor-adjacent normal tissues. Herein, we designed and synthesized ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibitor loaded hollow-structured CuS NPs with surface modification with anti-TGF-β antibody (CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs are highly photo-stable, can release encapsulated drugs, and increase the temperature to an effective level in a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive manner. Moreover, CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs specifically target tumors and thereby significantly inhibit tumor growth on contribution to synergistic low-temperature PTT and chemotherapy. This system not only achieved low-temperature PTT but also resulted in reduced damage to normal tissues. Modification with anti-TGF-β antibody enhanced target specificity and immune activation. The combination of PTT and ATM inhibitor showed synergistic effects and significantly attenuated the growth of the HCC via down regulation of heat shock protein (HSP). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs are a highly promising platform for targeted tumor ablation via hyperthermia-mediated tumor death with minimal damage to normal tissues at a low temperature. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We constructed ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibitor-loaded hollow-structured CuS NPs with surface modification with anti-TGF-β antibody (CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs not only achieved low-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) but also resulted in reduced damage to normal tissues and sufficient biocompatibility. The modification with anti-TGF-β antibody enhanced targeted specificity, cell endocytosis, and immune activation. In addition, the combination of PTT and ATM inhibitor synergistically attenuated the growth of the HCC via downregulation of heat shock protein (HSP). This study provided proof-of-concept for the ATM inhibitor that mediated low-temperature PTT with a potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Local administration of therapeutic agents with long-term retention capabilities efficiently avoids nonspecific distribution in normal organs with an increased drug concentration in pathological tissue. Herein, we developed an injectable and degradable alginate-calcium (Ca2+) hydrogel for the local administration of corn-like Au/Ag nanorods (NRs) and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl). The immobilized Au/Ag NRs with strong absorbance in the near-infrared II (NIR-II) window efficiently ablated the majority of tumor cells after 1064 nm laser irradiation and triggered the release of DOX to kill residual tumor cells. As a result, injectable hydrogel-mediated NIR-II photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy efficiently inhibited tumor growth, resulting in the complete eradication of tumors in most of the treated mice. Furthermore, owing to the confinement of the Au/Ag NRs and DOX·HCl within the hydrogel, such treatment exhibited excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) mainly relies on reactive oxygen species generated by light- activated photosensitizers and oxygen to kill tumor cells. However, a critical limitation of the current PDT is that it is less effective in solid tumors where the microenvironment is hypoxic, and, therefore, repeated treatment is required. Here, non-stoichiometric Co2.19S4 nanodots (NDs), which can be rapidly degraded to cobalt (Co2+) and sulfur (S2-) ions, were developed to enhance tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) via the capture of copper (Cu2+) ions (starvation therapy) in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment under near-infrared irradiation. Co2.19S4 NDs with excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (ɳ = 52%) can be used for PTT, and the Co2+ ions produced by their degradation can catalyze the endogenous hydrogen peroxide of tumor cells to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals to achieve tumor CDT. The mechanism of starvation therapy was explored using western blotting, and the results indicated that blocking the uptake of Cu2+ ions could restrain the growth and proliferation of tumors by inhibiting the BRAF/mitogen-activated extracellular signal regulated kinase (MEK)/extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) signaling pathway. Our work highlights the great potential of Co2.19S4 NDs as a theranostic agent for implementing photoacoustic/photothermal imaging and starvation therapy-enhanced PTT/CDT.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains are a major cause of disease. They continue to remain a challenge in the clinic particularly in the vision system. For example, infectious endophthalmitis is a major blind-causing disease caused by bacteria. A highly efficient synergistic antibacterial treatment that uses a photothermal antibacterial therapeutic with a chemo-antibacterial therapeutic in a multifunctional nanocomposite is reported. It is prepared by immobilizing vancomycin onto the surface of a magnetic chitosan-graphene (VCM-MCG) composite. An antibacterial effect is achieved when VCM-MCG is applied. This effect is enhanced when the nanocomposites are irradiated with a near-infrared laser. Growth of gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria are suppressed efficiently. Such a composite can help manage the control of pathogenic bacteria growth in the clinic.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been proposed to convert tumoral H2O2 into toxic hydroxyl radicals (OH) via Fenton or Fenton-like reactions for antitumor efficacy, which is frequently limited by low H2O2 concentrations or lack of enough metal ions inside tumor tissues. In this report, we present ferrocene-containing responsive polymersome nanoreactors via loading glucose oxidase (GOD) and hypoxia-activable prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) in the inner aqueous cavities. After intravenous injection, the polymersome nanoreactors with the optimized nanoparticle size of ~100 nm and poly(ethylene glycol) corona facilitate tumor accumulation. The tumor acidic microenvironment can trigger the permeability of the polymersome membranes to activate the nanoreactors and release the loaded TPZ prodrugs. Tumor oxygen and glucose can enter the polymersome nanoreactors and are transformed into H2O2 under the catalysis of GOD, which are further converted into OH via Fenton reaction under catalysis of ferrocene moieties. The oxygen consumption can aggravate tumor hypoxia to activate hypoxia-responsive TPZ prodrugs which can produce benzotriazinyl (BTZ) radicals and OH. All the produced radicals synergistically kill tumor cells via the amplified CDT and suppress the tumor growth efficiently. Thus, the ferrocene-containing responsive polymersome nanoreactors loading GOD and TPZ represent a potent nanoplatform to exert amplified CDT for improved anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derivatives had been widely explored in electronic and environmental fields, but rarely evaluated in the biomedical applications. Herein, Fe-N codoped carbon (FeNC) nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized via facile pyrolysis of precursor ZIF-8 (Fe/Zn) nanoparticles, and their potential applications in tumor therapy were assessed in this investigation both in vitro and in vivo. After PAA (sodium polyacrylate) modification, the FeNC@PAA nanoparticles were able to initiate a Fe-based Fenton-like reaction to generate ·OH and O2 for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and O2 evolution. Meanwhile, the porphyrin-like metal center in the FeNC@PAA nanoparticles could be used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors, which could be enhanced by O2 generated in CDT. Furthermore, the FeNC@PAA nanoparticles were also found to be effective in photothermal therapy (PTT) with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 29.15%, owing to a high absorbance in the near-infrared region (NIR). In conclusion, the synthesized FeNC@PAA nanoparticles exhibited promising applications in O2 evolution and CDT/PDT/PTT synergistic treatment of tumors.
