Abstract
The limitations of conventional cancer treatment are driving the emergence and development of nanomedicines. Research in liposomal nanomedicine for cancer therapy is rapidly increasing, opening up new horizons for cancer treatment. Liposomal nanomedicine, which focuses on targeted drug delivery to improve the therapeutic effect of cancer while reducing damage to normal tissues and cells, has great potential in the field of cancer therapy. This review aims to clarify the advantages of liposomal delivery systems in cancer therapy. We describe the recent understanding of spatiotemporal fate of liposomes in the organism after different routes of drug administration. Meanwhile, various types of liposome-based drug delivery systems that exert their respective advantages in cancer therapy while reducing side effects were discussed. Moreover, the combination of liposomal agents with other therapies (such as photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy) has demonstrated enhanced tumor-targeting efficiency and therapeutic efficacy. Finally, the opportunities and challenges faced by the field of liposome nanoformulations for entering the clinical treatment of cancer are highlighted.

Abstract
Engineered liposomal nanoparticles have unique characteristics as cargo carriers in cancer care and therapeutics. Liposomal theranostics have shown significant progress in preclinical and clinical cancer models in the past few years. Liposomal hybrid systems have not only been approved by the FDA but have also reached the market level. Nanosized liposomes are clinically proven systems for delivering multiple therapeutic as well as imaging agents to the target sites in (i) cancer theranostics of solid tumors, (ii) image-guided therapeutics, and (iii) combination therapeutic applications. The choice of diagnostics and therapeutics can intervene in the theranostics property of the engineered system. However, integrating imaging and therapeutics probes within lipid self-assembly "liposome" may compromise their overall theranostics performance. On the other hand, liposomal systems suffer from their fragile nature, site-selective tumor targeting, specific biodistribution and premature leakage of loaded cargo molecules before reaching the target site. Various engineering approaches, viz., grafting, conjugation, encapsulations, etc., have been investigated to overcome the aforementioned issues. It has been studied that surface-engineered liposomes demonstrate better tumor selectivity and improved therapeutic activity and retention in cells/or solid tumors. It should be noted that several other parameters like reproducibility, stability, smooth circulation, toxicity of vital organs, patient compliance, etc. must be addressed before using liposomal theranostics agents in solid tumors or clinical models. Herein, we have reviewed the importance and challenges of liposomal medicines in targeted cancer theranostics with their preclinical and clinical progress and a translational overview.

Neoadjuvant Gold Nanoshell-Based Photothermal Therapy Combined with Liposomal Doxorubicin in a Mouse Model of Colorectal Cancer. Int J Nanomedicine 2023; 18:829-841. [PMID: 36824412 PMCID: PMC9942687 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s389260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Traditional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, are often incapable of achieving complete responses as standalone therapies. Hence, current treatment strategies typically rely on a combination of several approaches. Nanoparticle-based photothermal therapy (PTT) is a technique used to kill cancer cells through localized, severe hyperthermia that has shown promise as an add-on treatment to multiple cancer therapies. Here, we evaluated whether the combination of gold nanoshell (NS)-based PTT and liposomal doxorubicin could improve outcome in a mouse model of colorectal cancer. Methods First, NS-based PTT was performed on tumor-bearing mice. Radiolabeled liposomes were then injected at different timepoints to follow their accumulation in the tumor and determine the ideal injection time after PTT. In addition, fluorescent liposomes were used to observe the liposomal distribution in the tumor after PTT. Finally, we combined PTT and doxorubicin-loaded liposomes and studied the effect of the treatment strategy on the mice by following tumor growth and survival. Results PTT significantly improved liposomal accumulation in the tumor, but only when the liposomes were injected immediately after the therapy. The liposomes accumulated mostly in regions adjacent to the ablated areas. When PTT was combined with liposomal doxorubicin, the mice experienced a slowdown in tumor growth and an improvement in survival. Conclusion According to our preclinical study, NS-based PTT seems promising as an add-on treatment for liposomal chemotherapy and potentially other systemic therapies, and could be relevant for future application in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Liposomes, the most widely studied nano-drug carriers in drug delivery, are sphere-shaped vesicles consisting of one or more phospholipid bilayers. Compared with traditional drug delivery systems, liposomes exhibit prominent properties that include targeted delivery, high biocompatibility, biodegradability, easy functionalization, low toxicity, improvements in the sustained release of the drug it carries and improved therapeutic indices. In the wake of the rapid development of nanotechnology, the studies of liposome composition have become increasingly extensive. The molecular diversity of liposome composition, which includes long-circulating PEGylated liposomes, ligand-functionalized liposomes, stimuli-responsive liposomes, and advanced cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanocarriers, endows their drug delivery with unique physiological functions. This review describes the composition, types and preparation methods of liposomes, and discusses their targeting strategies in cancer therapy.

Abstract
With the urgent need for bio-nanomaterials to improve the currently available cancer treatments, gold nanoparticle (GNP) hybrid nanostructures are rapidly rising as promising multimodal candidates for cancer therapy. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been hybridized with several nanocarriers, including liposomes and polymers, to achieve chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, radiotherapy, and imaging using a single composite. The GNP nanohybrids used for targeted chemotherapy can be designed to respond to external stimuli such as heat or internal stimuli such as intratumoral pH. Despite their promise for multimodal cancer therapy, there are currently no reviews summarizing the current status of GNP nanohybrid use for cancer theragnostics. Therefore, this review fulfills this gap in the literature by providing a critical analysis of the data available on the use of GNP nanohybrids for cancer treatment with a specific focus on synergistic approaches (i.e., triggered drug release, photothermal therapy, and radiotherapy). It also highlights some of the challenges that hinder the clinical translation of GNP hybrid nanostructures from bench to bedside. Future studies that could expedite the clinical progress of GNPs, as well as the future possibility of improving GNP nanohybrids for cancer theragnostics, are also summarized.

Abstract
Phototherapy has recently emerged as a promising solution for cancer treatment due to its multifunctionality and minimal invasiveness. Notwithstanding the limited penetration depth of light through skin, the ability of photopharmaceutical device systems to deliver light to desired lesions is important. The device system deploys advanced biocompatible materials and fabrication technologies for electronics, and eventually enables more efficient phototherapy. In this review, we focus on diverse optical electronics to illuminate the lesion site with light. Then, moving on to the phototherapy, we highlight photo-thermal therapy with light absorbing materials, photo-activated chemotherapy with light sensitive materials, and photo-dynamic therapy using photosensitizers. Furthermore, we introduce a drug delivery system that can deliver these photopharmaceutical agents spatiotemporally to the tumor site. To this end, we provide a general overview of materials and devices for phototherapy and discuss critical issues and pending limitations of such phototherapy.

Abstract
The repair of infected bone defects (IBDs) is still a great challenge in clinic. A successful treatment for IBDs should simultaneously resolve both infection control and bone defect repair. Hydrogels are water-swollen hydrophilic materials that maintain a distinct three-dimensional structure, helping load various antibacterial drugs and biomolecules. Hybrid hydrogels may potentially possess antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity. This review summarizes the recent progress of different kinds of antibacterial agents (including inorganic, organic, and natural) encapsulated in hydrogels. Several representative hydrogels of each category and their antibacterial mechanism and effect on bone repair are presented. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of antibacterial agent hybrid hydrogels are discussed. The challenge and future research directions are further prospected.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a refractory bone disease in young people that needs the updating and development of effective treatment. Although nanotechnology is widely applied in cancer therapy, poor targeting and inadequate efficiency hinder its development. In this study, we prepared alendronate (ALD)/K7M2 cell membranes-coated hollow manganese dioxide (HMnO2) nanoparticles as a nanocarrier to load Ginsenoside Rh2 (Rh2) for Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI)-guided immuno-chemodynamic combination osteosarcoma therapy. Subsequently, the ALD and K7M2 cell membranes were successively modified on the surface of HMnO2 and loaded with Rh2. The tumor microenvironment (TME)-activated Rh2@HMnO2-AM nanoparticles have good bone tumor-targeting and tumor-homing capabilities, excellent GSH-sensitive drug release profile and MRI capability, and attractive immuno-chemodynamic combined therapeutic efficiency. The Rh2@HMnO2-AM nanoparticles can effectively trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD), activate CD4+/CD8+ T cells in vivo, and upregulate BAX, BCL-2 and Caspase-3 in cellular level. Further results revealed that Rh2@HMnO2-AM enhanced the secretion of IL-6, IFN-γ and TNF-α in serum and inhibited the generation of FOXP3+ T cells (Tregs) in tumors. Moreover, the Rh2@HMnO2-AM treatment significant restricted tumor growth in-situ tumor-bearing mice. Therefore, Rh2@HMnO2-AM may serve as an effective and bio-friendly nanoparticle platform combined with immunotherapy and chemodynamic therapy to provide a novel approach to osteosarcoma therapy. Ginsenoside Rh2 was loaded in Hollow MnO2 NPs for enhancing its bioavailability. The orthotopic tumor model exhibits a convincing therapeutic effect of nanosystems. Alendronate/cell membranes enhance osteosarcoma targeting and tumor-homing ability. Tumor microenvironment-induced NPs degradation can release immune stimulant and Mn2+. The NPs had excellent immuno-chemodynamic combination osteosarcoma therapy effect.

Abstract
Temperature excursions within a biological milieu can be effectively used to induce drug release from thermosensitive drug-encapsulating nanoparticles. Oncological hyperthermia is of particular interest, as it is proven to synergistically act to arrest tumor growth when combined with optimally-designed smart drug delivery systems (DDSs). Thermoresponsive DDSs aid in making the drugs more bioavailable, enhance the therapeutic index and pharmacokinetic trends, and provide the spatial placement and temporal delivery of the drug into localized anatomical sites. This paper reviews the fundamentals of thermosensitive polymers, with a particular focus on thermoresponsive liposomal-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Liposomes are attractive carriers for targeted and controlled drug delivery receiving increasing attention in cancer photothermal therapy. However, the field of creating near-infrared nanomaterial-liposome hybrid nanocarriers (NIRN-Lips) is relatively little understood. The hybrid nanocarriers combine the dual superiority of nanomaterials and liposomes, with more stable particles, enhanced photoluminescence, higher tumor permeability, better tumor-targeted drug delivery, stimulus-responsive drug release, and thus exhibiting better anti-tumor efficacy. Herein, this review covers the liposomes supported various types of near-infrared nanomaterials, including gold-based nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, and semiconductor quantum dots. Specifically, the NIRN-Lips are described in terms of their feature, synthesis, and drug-release mechanism. The design considerations of NIRN-Lips are highlighted. Further, we briefly introduced the photothermal conversion mechanism of NIRNs and the cell death mechanism induced by photothermal therapy. Subsequently, we provided a brief conclusion of NIRNs-Lips applied in cancer photothermal therapy. Finally, we discussed a synopsis of associated challenges and future perspectives for the applications of NIRN-Lips in cancer photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Achieving a novel drug delivery system needs site-specificity along with dosage control. Many physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological signals are used for developing these systems, out of which light has been used predominantly in the past decade. Light responsive drug delivery systems have tremendous potential, and their exploration is crucial in developing a precise and controlled delivery system. Spatio-temporal and intensity control of light allows better manipulation of drug delivery vehicles than mechanical, chemical, and biological signals. The use of ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) light has helped in upgrading therapeutic functionalities, while the use of up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) has delivered an extension into theranostic tools. Biomaterials incorporated with photosensitizers can readily respond to changes in light and are vital in achieving clinical success via translational research. Further, the inclusion of biological macromolecules for the transportation of drugs, genes, and proteins has seen a broader application of light-controlled systems. The key objective of this review paper is to summarise the evolution of light-activated targeted drug delivery systems and the importance of biomaterials in developing one.

Abstract
The on-demand administration of anaesthetic drugs can be a promising alternative for chronic pain management. To further improve the efficacy of drug delivery vectors, high drug loadings combined with a spatiotemporal control on the release can not only relief the pain according to patient's needs, but also improve the drawbacks of conventional burst release delivery systems. In this study, a hybrid nanomaterial was developed by loading bupivacaine nanocrystals (BNCs) into oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA)-based thermoresponsive nanogels and coupling them to NIR-absorbing biodegradable copper sulphide nanoparticles (CuS NPs). Those CuS NPs were surface modified with polyelectrolytes using layer-by-layer techniques to be efficiently attached to the surface of nanogels by means of supramolecular interactions. The encapsulation of bupivacaine in the form of nanocrystals allowed to achieve CuS@BNC-nanogels having drug loadings as high as 65.5 wt%. The nanocrystals acted as long-lasting drug reservoirs, leading to an elevated localized drug content, which was useful for their application in prolonged pain relief. The CuS@BNC-nanogels exhibited favorable photothermal transducing properties upon NIR-light irradiation. The photothermal effect granted by the CuS NPs triggered the nano-crystallized drug release to be boosted by the collapse of the thermoresponsive nanogels upon heating. Remote control was achieved for on-demand release at a specific time and place, indicating their potential use as an externally activated triggerable drug-delivery system. Furthermore, cell viability tests and flow cytometry analysis were performed showing satisfactory cytocompatibility in the dose-ranging study having a subcytotoxic concentration of 0.05 mg/mL for CuS@BNC-nanogels. This remotely activated nanoplatform is a promising strategy for long-lasting controlled analgesia and a potential alternative for clinical pain management.

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

Abstract
The tumor-specific targeting of chemotherapeutic agents for specific necrosis of cancer cells without affecting the normal cells poses a great challenge for researchers and scientists. Though extensive research has been carried out to investigate chemotherapy-based targeted drug delivery, the identification of the most promising strategy capable of bypassing non-specific cytotoxicity is still a major concern. Recent advancements in the arena of onco-targeted therapies have enabled safe and effective tumor-specific localization through stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. Owing to their promising characteristic features, stimuli-responsive drug delivery platforms have revolutionized the chemotherapy-based treatments with added benefits of enhanced bioavailability and selective cytotoxicity of cancer cells compared to the conventional modalities. The insensitivity of stimuli-responsive drug delivery platforms when exposed to normal cells prevents the release of cytotoxic drugs into the normal cells and therefore alleviates the off-target events associated with chemotherapy. Contrastingly, they showed amplified sensitivity and triggered release of chemotherapeutic payload when internalized into the tumor microenvironment causing maximum cytotoxic responses and the induction of cancer cell necrosis. This review focuses on the physical stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems and chemical stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for triggered cancer chemotherapy through active and/or passive targeting. Moreover, the review also provided a brief insight into the molecular dynamic simulations associated with stimuli-based tumor targeting.

Abstract
Theranostic nanosystems are emerging as a promising approach for controlled drug delivery, diagnosis and multimodal therapeutics. Herein, a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform is reported for photothermal-chemo combination therapy functioned with magnetic and thermal imaging. Hyaluronic acid (HA) coated Fe3O4@polydopamine nanoparticles equipped with redox-sensitive disulfide linkers have been subsequently deposited with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX) (termed as FPCH-DOX NPs). These nanocomposites possess an average diameter of 120 nm, a saturation magnetization of 28.5 emu g-1, DOX loading capacity of 7.13% and a transverse relaxation rate of 171.76 mM-1 s-1. The drug release could be triggered by pH, glutathione (GSH) concentration and light irradiation. Prussian blue staining and confocal microscopy demonstrate that these nanoplatforms have improved biocompatibility and cellular uptake in CD44-positive HeLa cell lines rather than in CD44-negative NIH 3T3 normal cell lines. In vitro evaluations demonstrate that the combination therapy of FPCH-DOX NPs lowers the cell viability to 16.2%, less than that of individual chemotherapy (55.3%) or PTT (52.1%). In vivo MRI indicates that the tumor accumulation of FPCH-DOX NPs provides enhanced MRI contrast, and in vivo thermal imaging verified their localized photothermal conversion effect in tumor tissues. Importantly, FPCH-DOX NPs present remarkable anti-tumor efficacy by photothermal-chemo combination therapy. H&E and Ki67 staining tests show obvious necrosis and weak cell proliferation at the region of the tumor. Thus, FPCH-DOX NPs are promising multifunctional nanoplatforms for highly effective cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is a cornerstone of cancer therapy. Irrespective of the administered drug, it is crucial that adequate drug amounts reach all cancer cells. To achieve this, drugs first need to be absorbed, then enter the blood circulation, diffuse into the tumor interstitial space and finally reach the tumor cells. Next to chemoresistance, one of the most important factors for effective chemotherapy is adequate tumor drug uptake and penetration. Unfortunately, most chemotherapeutic agents do not have favorable properties. These compounds are cleared rapidly, distribute throughout all tissues in the body, with only low tumor drug uptake that is heterogeneously distributed within the tumor. Moreover, the typical microenvironment of solid cancers provides additional hurdles for drug delivery, such as heterogeneous vascular density and perfusion, high interstitial fluid pressure, and abundant stroma. The hope was that nanotechnology will solve most, if not all, of these drug delivery barriers. However, in spite of advances and decades of nanoparticle development, results are unsatisfactory. One promising recent development are nanoparticles which can be steered, and release content triggered by internal or external signals. Here we discuss these so-called smart drug delivery systems in cancer therapy with emphasis on mild hyperthermia as a trigger signal for drug delivery.

Abstract
This study reports the development of a binary drug delivery system consisting of charged liposomes and an oppositely charged peptide-photosensitiser conjugate. Liposomes were prepared with phosphatidyl-l-serine as a negatively charged lipid. Calcein, a fluorophore marker, and doxorubicin, an anticancer drug, were used as model hydrophilic loads. The conjugate consisted of a positively charged arginine-rich peptide synthesised by solid-phase peptide synthesis, and a phthalocyanine derivative with characteristic absorption around 685 nm. Illumination of the binary system with far-red light of 12-15 mW/cm2 intensity resulted in 5- to 15-fold increase in release of payloads from the liposomes. The mechanism of drug release was based on photosensitised oxidation of lipids destabilising the liposomal membrane. The cytotoxicity of the liposomes loaded with doxorubicin was tested on B16-F10 melanoma and Y79 retinoblastoma cells. The cytotoxicity of the illuminated binary system in melanoma cell line was significantly higher as compared to the system without illumination. The components of the binary system can be individually prepared and stored with greater storage stability. However, their combination will allow for substantial release of hydrophilic payload from the liposomes under externally applied light.

Abstract
Over the last several decades, nanoparticulate delivery systems have emerged as advanced drug and gene delivery tools for cancer therapy. However, their translation into clinical use still poses major challenges. Even though many innovative nanoparticulate approaches have shown very positive results both in vitro and in vivo, few of them have found a place in clinical practice. Possible factors responsible for the existing gap in the translation of nanomedicine to clinical practice may include oversimplification of enhanced permeability and retention effect, lack of correlation between the in vivo animal data vs their translation in human, and challenging multiple biological steps experienced during systemic delivery of nanomedicine. Understanding these challenges and coming up with solutions to overcome them is an important step in effective translation of nanomedicine into clinical practice. This review focuses on advancements in the field of nanomedicine used for anti-cancer therapy, including passive targeting, active targeting, and stimuli-controlled delivery. The review further reveals some of the challenges that are currently faced by pharmaceutical scientists in translation of nanomedicine; these include lack of adequate models for preclinical testing that can predict efficacy in humans, absence of appropriate regulatory guidelines for their approval processes, and difficulty in scale-up of the manufacturing of nanodrug delivery systems. A better understanding of these challenges will help us in filling the gap between the bench and bedside in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms (NPs) in response to environment stimulations for on-demand drug release are highly desirable. Herein, the near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing dye, indocyanine green (ICG), and the antitumor drug, doxorubicin (DOX), were efficiently coencapsulated into the thermosensitive liposomes based on natural phase-change material. Folate and conjugated gadolinium (Gd) chelate-modified liposome shells enhance active targeting and magnetic resonance performance of the NPs while maintaining the size of the NPs. The ICG/DOX-loaded and gadolinium chelate conjugated temperature-sensitive liposome nanoplatforms (ID@TSL-Gd NPs) exhibited NIR-triggered drug release and prominent chemo-, photothermal, and photodynamic therapy properties. With the coencapsulated ICG, DOX, and the conjugated gadolinium chelates, the ID@TSL-Gd NPs can be used for triple-modal imaging (fluorescence/photoacoustic/magnetic resonance imaging)-guided combination tumor therapy (chemotherapy, photothermotherapy, and photodynamic therapy). After tail vein injection, the ID@TSL-Gd NPs accumulated effectively in subcutaneous HeLa tumor of mice. The tumor was effectively suppressed by accurate imaging-guided NIR-triggered phototherapy and chemotherapy, and no tumor regression and side effects were observed. In summary, the prepared ID@TSL-Gd NPs achieved multimodal imaging-guided cancer combination therapy, providing a promising platform for improving diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Background Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common malignancies, with high rates of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Owing to the special anatomical location of this tumor, an effective, minimally invasive treatment with low systemic toxicity is highly desirable. Hydrogels have shown great potential for tumor-targeting therapy, with excellent performance. However, there have been few reports on co-loading photosensitizers and chemotherapeutic drugs into hydrogels. In this study, we synthesized a nano doxorubicin-indocyanine green matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive hydrogel (denoted as NDIMH), combining chemotherapy and phototherapy, to achieve superior antitumor efficacy. Methods First, NDIMH was synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and drug-release assays. Second, the photosensitivity properties and antitumor efficiency of this drug delivery system were studied in vivo and in vitro. Last, the imaging and biodistribution of NDIMH were monitored using the Maestro EX in vivo imaging system. Results The nanodrugs loaded into the smart hydrogel exhibited uniform size distribution, excellent size stability, and a sustained release in the presence of MMP-2. NDIMH showed ideal photosensitivity characteristics under light. NDIMH with 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation effectively inhibited the viability, invasion, and metastasis of SCC-15 in vitro. After intratumoral injection of NDIMH with 808 nm NIR illumination, the hydrogels exhibited favorable synergistic antitumor efficacy and acceptable biosafety. Additionally, fluorescence imaging showed that NDIMH could significantly improve the retention of nanodrugs at the tumor site. Conclusion The intratumoral injection of NDIMH with 808 nm NIR irradiation could be a promising chemophototherapy alternative for HNSCC.

Abstract
Abuse of antibiotics and their residues in the environment results in the emergence and prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria and leads to serious health problems. Herein, a photon-controlled antibacterial platform that can efficiently kill drug-resistant bacteria and avoid the generation of new bacterial resistance was designed by encapsulating black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) and pharmaceuticals inside a thermal-sensitive liposome. The antibacterial platform can release pharmaceuticals in a spatial-, temporal-, and dosage-controlled fashion because the BPQDs can delicately generate heat under near-infrared light stimulation to disrupt the liposome. This user-defined delivery of drug can greatly reduce the antibiotic dosage, thus avoiding the indiscriminate use of antibiotics and preventing the generation of superbugs. Moreover, by coupling the photothermal effect with antibiotics, this antibacterial platform achieved a synergistic photothermal-/pharmaco-therapy with significantly improved antibacterial efficiency toward drug-resistant bacteria. The antibacterial platform was further employed to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria-caused skin abscess and it displayed excellent antibacterial activity in vivo, promising its potential clinical applications. Additionally, the antibacterial mechanism was further investigated. The developed photon-controlled antibacterial platform can open new possibilities for avoiding bacterial resistance and efficiently killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria, making it valuable in fields ranging from antiinfective therapy to precision medicine.

Abstract
Development of combined chemo-photothermal nanoplatform is of great interest for enhancing antitumor efficacy. Herein, a multifunctional drug delivery system was synthesized based on gold-nanobranched coated betulinic acid liposomes (GNBS-BA-Lips) for chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy. In this system, GNBS-BA-Lips exhibited broad near-infrared (NIR) absorption, preferable photothermal response and good photostability under NIR irradiation. Importantly, the gold-nanobranched nanostructure possessed high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 55.7%), and the temperature change (ΔT) reached 43.2 °C after laser irradiation for 5 min. Upon NIR irradiation, the nanocarriers apparently endowed higher cell uptake, resulting in an enhanced intracellular drug accumulation. Furthermore, the tumor growth inhibition ratio achieved from chemo-photothermal therapy of GNBS-BA-Lips was 86.9 ± 1.1%, which was higher than that of the chemotherapy or photothermal therapy alone, showing an outstanding synergistic anticancer effect. Our data suggested that the nanoplatform should be considered as a critical platform in the development of cancer multi-mode therapies.

Abstract
An effective nanoparticle-based drug delivery platform holds great promise for non-invasive cancer therapy. This study explores the breast tumor regression in vivo by synergistic photothermal-chemotherapy based on liposomal nanocomplex (folic acid-gold nanorods-anticancer drug-liposome). The proposed liposomal nanocomplex can enhance the tumor targeting by functionalizing folic acid (FA) molecules on the surface of liposome that encapsulates both gold nanorods (AuNRs) and the doxorubicin (DOX) to combine the photothermal therapy and the chemotherapy, respectively. Herein, 7-nm gold nanorods were fabricated and co-encapsulated with DOX into nanoliposomes functionalized with FA, with an average diameter of 154 nm, for active targeting to the cancer cells. The experimental results showed that the FA targeting liposomes had better cellular uptake than the non-targeting liposomes (AuNRs-DOX-LPs). Especially, upon 5 min exposure to near infrared (NIR) irradiation (808 nm) triggered DOX release could be achieved to 46.38% in 60 min at pH 5.5. In addition, in vitro cell proliferation assays indicated that, with synergistic photothermal-chemotherapy, the targeting liposomes could significantly enhance the toxicity towards the cancer cells with the IC50 value of 1.90 ± 0.12 μg mL-1. Furthermore, in vivo experiments on the breast tumor-bearing mice showed that the targeting liposomes could effectively inhibit the growth of the tumors using the combined strategy.

Abstract
A convenient and feasible therapeutic strategy for malignant and metastatic tumors was constructed here by combining photothermal ablation (PTA)-based laser immunotherapy with perdurable PD-1 blockade immunotherapy. Hollow gold nanoshells (HAuNS, a photothermal agent) and AUNP12 (an anti PD-1 peptide, APP) were co-encapsulated into poly(lactic- co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles. Unlike monoclonal PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, PD-1 peptide inhibitor shows lower cost and immunotoxicity but needs frequent administration due to its rapid clearance in vivo. Our data here showed that the formed HAuNS- and APP-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (AA@PN) could maintain release periods of up to 40 days for the peptide, and a single intratumoral injection of AA@PN could replace the frequent administration of free APP. After the administration of AA@PN and irradiation with a near-infrared laser at the tumor site, an excellent killing effect on the primary tumor cells was achieved by the PTA. The nanoparticles also played a vaccine-like role under the adjuvant of cytosine-phospho-guanine (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotide and generated a localized antitumor-immune response. Furthermore, sustained APP release with laser-dependent transient triggering could induce the blockage of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway to activate T cells, thus subsequently generating a systemic immune response. Our data demonstrated that the PTA combined with perdurable PD-1 blocking could efficiently eradicate the primary tumors and inhibit the growth of metastatic tumors as well as their formation. The present study provides a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of advanced cancer with metastasis and presents a valuable reference for obtaining better outcomes in clinical cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Development and formulation of an efficient and safe therapeutic regimen for cancer theranostics are dynamically challenging. The use of mono-therapeutic cancer regimen is generally restricted to optimal clinical applications, on account of drug resistance and cancer heterogeneity. Combinatorial treatments can employ multi-therapeutics for synergistic anticancer efficacy whilst reducing the potency of individual moieties and diminishing the incidence of associated adverse effects. The combo-delivery of nanotherapeutics can optimize anti-tumor efficacy while reversing the incidence of drug resistance, aiming to homogenize pharmacological profile of drugs, enhance circulatory time, permit targeted drug accumulation, achieve multi-target dynamic approach, optimize target-specific drug binding and ensure sustained drug release at the target site. Numerous nanomedicines/nanotherapeutics have been developed by having dynamic physicochemical, pharmaceutical and pharmacological implications. These innovative delivery approaches have displayed specialized treatment effects, alone or in combination with conventional anticancer approaches (photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy and gene therapy), while reversing drug resistance and potential off-target effects. The current review presents a comprehensive overview of nanocarrier aided multi-drug therapies alongside recent advancements, future prospects, and the pivotal requirements for interdisciplinary research.

Abstract
Chemotherapy has been widely applied in clinics. However, the therapeutic potential of chemotherapy against cancer is seriously dissatisfactory due to the nonspecific drug distribution, multidrug resistance (MDR) and the heterogeneity of cancer. Therefore, combinational therapy based on chemotherapy mediated by nanotechnology, has been the trend in clinical research at present, which can result in a remarkably increased therapeutic efficiency with few side effects to normal tissues. Moreover, to achieve the accurate pre-diagnosis and real-time monitoring for tumor, the research of nano-theranostics, which integrates diagnosis with treatment process, is a promising field in cancer treatment. In this review, the recent studies on combinational therapy based on chemotherapy will be systematically discussed. Furthermore, as a current trend in cancer treatment, advance in theranostic nanoparticles based on chemotherapy will be exemplified briefly. Finally, the present challenges and improvement tips will be presented in combination therapy and nano-theranostics.

Abstract
Chemophototherapy (CPT) is an emerging tumor treatment that combines phototherapy and chemotherapy. Long-circulating (LC) liposomes can stably incorporate 2 mol % porphyrin-phospholipid (PoP) in the bilayer and load doxorubicin (Dox) to generate LC-Dox-PoP liposomes, for single-agent CPT. Following intravenous administration to mice, LC-Dox-PoP liposomes (2 mg/kg Dox) circulated with similar blood concentration ranges produced by a typical human clinical dose of DOXIL (50 mg/m2 Dox). This dosing approach aims to achieve physiologically relevant Dox and PoP concentrations as well as CPT vascular responses in mice bearing subcutaneous human pancreatic MIA PaCa-2 xenografts. Phototreatment with 2 mg/kg LC-Dox-PoP induced vascular permeabilization, leading to a 12.5-fold increase in Dox tumor influx estimated by a pharmacokinetic model, based on experimental data. Shorter drug-light intervals (0.5-3 h) led to greater tumoral drug deposition and improved treatment outcomes, compared to longer drug-light intervals. At 2 mg/kg Dox, CPT with LC-Dox-PoP liposomes induced tumor regression and growth inhibition, whereas chemotherapy using several other formulations of Dox did not. LC-Dox-PoP liposomes were well tolerated at the 2 mg/kg dose.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Near-infrared ray (NIR)-responsive 'smart' nanoagents allow spatial and temporal control over the drug delivery process, noninvasively, without affecting healthy tissues and therefore they possess high potential for on-demand, targeted drug/gene delivery. Various NIR-responsive drug/gene delivery techniques are under investigation for peripheral disorders (especially for cancer). Nonetheless, their potential not been extensively examined for brain biomedical application. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on NIR-responsive characteristics of different NIR-nanobiophotonics-based nanoagents and associated drug delivery strategies. Together with their ongoing applications for peripheral drug delivery, we have highlighted the opportunities, challenges and possible solutions of NIR-nanobiophotonics for potential brain drug delivery. EXPERT OPINION NIR-nanobiophotonics can be considered superior among all photo-controlled drug/gene delivery approaches. Future work should focus on coupling NIR with biocompatible nanocarriers to determine the physiological compatibility of this approach. Their applications should be extended beyond the peripheral body region to brain region. Transient or intermittent NIR exposure strategies may be more accommodating for brain physiological ambience in order to minimize or avoid the possible deleterious thermal effect. In addition, while most studies are centered around the first NIR spectral window (700-1000 nm), the potential of second (1100-1350 nm) and third (1600-1870 nm) windows must be explored.

Abstract
Specially designed functionalized nanomaterials such as superparamagnetic iron oxide, gold, quantum dots and up- and down-conversion lanthanide series nanoparticles have consistently and completely revolutionized the biomedical environment over the past few years due to their specially inferring properties, such as specific drug delivery, plasmonic effect, optical and imaging properties, therapeutic thermal energy productionand excellent irresistible cellular penetration. These properties have been used to improve many existing disease treatment modalities and have led to the development of better therapeutic approaches for the advancement of the treatment of critical human diseases, such as cancers and related malaise. In photodynamic therapy, for example, where the delivery of therapeutic agents should ideally avoid toxicity on nearby healthy cells, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been shown to be capable of making photodynamic therapy (PDT) prodrugs and their associative targeting moieties tumor-specific via their unique response to an external magnetic fields. In this review, the nanomaterials commonly employed for the enhancement of photodynamic therapy are discussed. The review further describes the various methods of synthesis and characterization of these nanomaterials and highlights challenges for improving the efficacy of PDT in the future.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of drug delivery is to increase the bioavailability and reduce the toxic side effects of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) by releasing them at a specific site of action. In the case of antitumor therapy, association of the therapeutic agent with a carrier system can minimize damage to healthy, nontarget tissues, while limit systemic release and promoting long circulation to enhance uptake at the cancerous site due to the enhanced permeation and retention effect (EPR). Stimuli-responsive systems have become a promising way to deliver and release payloads in a site-selective manner. Potential carrier systems have been derived from a wide variety of materials, including inorganic nanoparticles, lipids, and polymers that have been imbued with stimuli-sensitive properties to accomplish triggered release based on an environmental cue. The unique features in the tumor microenvironment can serve as an endogenous stimulus (pH, redox potential, or unique enzymatic activity) or the locus of an applied external stimulus (heat or light) to trigger the controlled release of API. In liposomal carrier systems triggered release is generally based on the principle of membrane destabilization from local defects within bilayer membranes to effect release of liposome-entrapped drugs. This review focuses on the literature appearing between November 2008-February 2016 that reports new developments in stimuli-sensitive liposomal drug delivery strategies using pH change, enzyme transformation, redox reactions, and photochemical mechanisms of activation.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to prepare and evaluate a novel lipid-polymer hybrid liposomal nanoplatform (hyaluronic acid-magnetic nanoparticle-liposomes, HA-MNP-LPs) as a vehicle for targeted delivery and triggered release of an anticancer drug (docetaxel, DTX) in human breast cancer cells. We first synthesize an amphiphilic hyaluronic acid hexadecylamine polymer (HA-C16) to enhance the targeting ability of the hybrid liposome. Next, HA-MNP-LPs are constructed to achieve an average size of 189.93±2.74nm in diameter. In addition, citric acid-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are prepared and embedded in the aqueous cores while DTX is encapsulated in the hydrophobic bilayers of the liposomes. Experiments with coumarin 6 loaded hybrid liposomes (C6/HA-MNP-LPs) show that the hybrid liposomes have superior cellular uptake in comparison with the conventional non-targeting liposomes (C6/MNP-LPs), and the result is further confirmed by Prussian blue staining. Under near-infrared laser irradiation (NIR, 808nm), the HA-MNP-LPs aqueous solution can reach 46.7°C in 10min, and the hybrid liposomes released over 20% more drug than the non-irradiated liposomes. Using a combination of photothermal irradiation and chemotherapy, the DTX-loaded hybrid liposomes (DTX/HA-MNP-LPs) significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy, with the IC50 value of 0.69±0.10μg/mL, which is much lower than the values for DTX monotherapy. Consequently, the prepared hybrid nanoplatform may offer a promising drug delivery vehicle with selective targeting and enhanced drug release in treating CD44-overexpressing cancers.

Abstract
Both photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are phototherapeutic approaches, which have been widely investigated for cancer therapy mediated by an external light source. Here, a nanosystem presenting the synchronous PTT and PDT effect realized through one-step near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation is reported. This system was fabricated by conjugating indocyanine green (ICG) on hollow gold nanospheres (HAuNS) using branched-polyethylenimine (PEI, MW = 10 kDa) as optimal linker, which provided a high ICG payload as well as a covering layer with suitable thickness on HAuNS to maintain ICG fluorescence and reactive oxygen species (ROS) productivity. The resulting system (ICG-PEI-HAuNS) had the molar ratio of ICG:PEI:Au = 3:0.33:5. Compared with free ICG, ICG-PEI-HAuNS exhibited dramatically enhanced stability of ICG molecules and greater intratumoral accumulation. The conjugation of ICG caused significantly higher plasmon absorption of ICG-PEI-HAuNS in the NIR region compared with HAuNS alone, inducing remarkably enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency and synchronous photodynamic effect under NIR light irradiation. Interestingly, compared with PTT or PDT alone, synchronous PTT and PDT produced by ICG-PEI-HAuNS upon NIR light irradiation induced significantly stronger antitumor and metastasis inhibition effects both in vitro and in vivo, which might be a promising strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Combined treatment strategies based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with near infrared ray (NIR) biophotonic possess tremendous potential for non-invasive therapeutic approach. Nonetheless, investigations in this direction have been limited to peripheral body region and little is known about the potential biomedical application of this approach for brain. Here we report that transient NIR exposure is dissipation-free and has no adverse effect on the viability and plasticity of major brain cells in the presence or absence superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The 808 nm NIR laser module with thermocouple was employed for functional studies upon NIR exposure to brain cells. Magnetic nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic laser scattering (DLS), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Brain cells viability and plasticity were analyzed using electric cell-substrate impedance sensing system, cytotoxicity evaluation, and confocal microscopy. When efficacious non-invasive photobiomodulation and neuro-therapeutical targeting and monitoring to brain remain a formidable task, the discovery of this dissipation-free, transient NIR photonic approach for brain cells possesses remarkable potential to add new dimension.

Abstract
The dynamic and versatile nature of diseases such as cancer has been a pivotal challenge for developing efficient and safe therapies. Cancer treatments using a single therapeutic agent often result in limited clinical outcomes due to tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. Combination therapies using multiple therapeutic modalities can synergistically elevate anti-cancer activity while lowering doses of each agent, hence, reducing side effects. Co-administration of multiple therapeutic agents requires a delivery platform that can normalize pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the agents, prolong circulation, selectively accumulate, specifically bind to the target, and enable controlled release in target site. Nanomaterials, such as polymeric nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles/cages/shells, and carbon nanomaterials, have the desired properties, and they can mediate therapeutic effects different from those generated by small molecule drugs (e.g., gene therapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and radiotherapy). This review aims to provide an overview of developing multi-modal therapies using nanomaterials ("combo" nanomedicine) along with the rationale, up-to-date progress, further considerations, and the crucial roles of interdisciplinary approaches.

Abstract
Combretastatin A-4 (CA4) is highly potent anticancer drug that acts as an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization. The core of the CA4 structure contains a cis-stilbene, and it is known that the trans isomer is significantly less potent. We prepared an azobenzene analog of CA4 (Azo-CA4) that shows 13-35 fold enhancement in potency upon illumination. EC50 values in the light were in the mid nM range. Due to its ability to thermally revert to less toxic trans form, Azo-CA4 also has the ability to automatically turn its activity off with time. Azo-CA4 is less potent than CA-4 because it degrades in the presence of glutathione as evidenced by UV-Vis spectroscopy and ESI-MS. Nevertheless, Azo-CA4 represents a promising strategy for switchable potency for treatment of cancer.

Abstract
The development of treatment protocols that results in a complete response to chemotherapy has been hampered by low efficacy and systemic toxicity. Here, we created a pH sensitive copper-doxorubicin complex within the core of temperature-sensitive liposomes to maintain the stability during blood circulation and trigger Dox release in the tumor site. Synergistically, we also rationally applied gold nanorods (AuNRs) coupled with near-infrared (NIR) field strength to produce a precise and localized temperature, which not only remotely controlled the drug release but also directly destroyed the tumor, to enhance the therapeutic efficacy. As expected, the in vitro release studies showed that the drug release from CuDox-TSLs (Copper ion mediated Doxorubicin loading-Temperature Sensitive Liposomes) was both pH-dependent and temperature-dependent. Furthermore, MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide) assays showed that CuDox-TSLs combined with AuNRs exhibited a closer antiproliferative activity to free Dox in MCF-7 cells. The efficient intracellular Dox release from CuDox-TSLs toward the tumor cells further confirmed the anti-tumor effect. Moreover, the in vivo imaging and biodistribution studies revealed that CuDox-TSLs combined with AuNRs could actively target the tumor site. In addition, the therapeutic studies in MCF-7 nude mice exhibited CuDox-TSLs plus AuNRs in combination with NIR irradiation inhibited tumor growth to a great extent and possessed much lower side effects, which were further confirmed by systemic histological analyses. All detailed evidence suggested a considerable potential of CuDox-TSLs combined with AuNRs for treatment of metastatic cancer.
