Abstract
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has demonstrated its safety, efficacy and noninvasiveness in the ablation of solid tumor. However, its further application is limited by its inherent deficiencies, such as postoperative recurrence caused by incomplete ablation and excessive intensity affecting surrounding healthy tissues. Recent research has indicated that the integration of nanomaterials with HIFU exhibits a promising synergistic effect in tumor ablation. The concurrent utilization of nanomaterials with HIFU can help overcome the limitations of HIFU by improving targeting and ablation efficiency, expanding operation area, increasing operation accuracy, enhancing stability and bio-safety during the process. It also provides a platform for multi-therapy and multi-mode imaging guidance. The present review comprehensively expounds upon the synergistic mechanism between nanomaterials and HIFU, summarizes the research progress of nanomaterials as cavitation nuclei and drug carriers in combination with HIFU for tumor ablation. Furthermore, this review highlights the potential for further exploration in the development of novel nanomaterials that enhance the synergistic effect with HIFU on tumor ablation.

Abstract
Piezoelectric dynamic therapy (PzDT) is an effective method of tumor treatment by using piezoelectric polarization to generate reactive oxygen species. In this paper, two-dimensional Cu-doped BiOCl nanosheets with surface vacancies are produced by the photoetching strategy. Under ultrasound, a built-in electric field is generated to promote the electron and hole separation. The separated carriers achieve O2 reduction and GSH oxidation, inducing oxidative stress. The bandgap of BiOCl is narrowed by introducing surface oxygen vacancies, which act as charge traps and facilitate the electron and hole separation. Meanwhile, Cu doping induces chemodynamic therapy and depletes GSH via the transformation from Cu(II) to Cu(I). Both in vivo and in vitro results confirmed that oxidative stress can be enhanced by exogenous ultrasound stimulation, which can cause severe damage to tumor cells. This work emphasizes the efficient strategy of doping engineering and defect engineering for US-activated PzDT under exogenous stimulation.

Abstract
Engineered bacteria are widely used in cancer treatment because live facultative/obligate anaerobes can selectively proliferate at tumor sites and reach hypoxic regions, thereby causing nutritional competition, enhancing immune responses, and producing anticancer microbial agents in situ to suppress tumor growth. Despite the unique advantages of bacteria-based cancer biotherapy, the insufficient treatment efficiency limits its application in the complete ablation of malignant tumors. The combination of nanomedicine and engineered bacteria has attracted increasing attention owing to their striking synergistic effects in cancer treatment. Engineered bacteria that function as natural vehicles can effectively deliver nanomedicines to tumor sites. Moreover, bacteria provide an opportunity to enhance nanomedicines by modulating the TME and producing substrates to support nanomedicine-mediated anticancer reactions. Nanomedicine exhibits excellent optical, magnetic, acoustic, and catalytic properties, and plays an important role in promoting bacteria-mediated biotherapies. The synergistic anticancer effects of engineered bacteria and nanomedicines in cancer therapy are comprehensively summarized in this review. Attention is paid not only to the fabrication of nanobiohybrid composites, but also to the interpromotion mechanism between engineered bacteria and nanomedicine in cancer therapy. Additionally, recent advances in engineered bacteria-synergized multimodal cancer therapies are highlighted.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (•OH), a highly reactive oxygen species (ROS), is assumed as one of the most aggressive free radicals. This radical has a detrimental impact on cells as it can react with different biological substrates leading to pathophysiological disorders, including inflammation, mitochondrion dysfunction, and cancer. Quantification of this free radical in-situ plays critical roles in early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of various disorders, like macrophage polarization and tumor cell development. Luminescence analysis using responsive probes has been an emerging and reliable technique for in-situ detection of various cellular ROS, and some recently developed •OH responsive nanoprobes have confirmed the association with cancer development. This paper aims to summarize the recent advances in the characterization of •OH in living organisms using responsive nanoprobes, covering the production, the sources of •OH, and biological function, especially in the development of related diseases followed by the discussion of luminescence nanoprobes for •OH detection.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the development of new diagnostic and treatment methods is crucial. Manganese-based nanomaterials (MnNMs) have emerged as a focal point in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment due to their multifunctional properties. These nanomaterials have been extensively explored as contrast agents for various imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIR-FL). The use of these nanomaterials has significantly enhanced the contrast for precise tumor detection and localization. Moreover, MnNMs have shown responsiveness to the tumor microenvironment (TME), enabling innovative approaches to cancer treatment. This review provides an overview of the latest developments of MnNMs and their potential applications in tumor diagnosis and therapy. Finally, potential challenges and prospects of MnNMs in clinical applications are discussed. We believe that this review would serve as a valuable resource for guiding further research on the application of manganese nanomaterials in cancer diagnosis and treatment, addressing the current limitations, and proposing future research directions.

Abstract
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a plasma-membrane-bound enzyme that is involved in the γ-glutamyl cycle, like metabolism of glutathione (GSH). This enzyme plays an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, thus being tested as a key biomarker for several medical conditions, such as liver injury, carcinogenesis, and tumor progression. For measuring GGT activity, a number of bioanalytical methods have emerged, such as chromatography, colorimetric, electrochemical, and luminescence analyses. Among these approaches, probes that can specifically respond to GGT are contributing significantly to measuring its activity in vitro and in vivo. This review thus aims to highlight the recent advances in the development of responsive probes for GGT measurement and their practical applications. Responsive probes for fluorescence analysis, including "off-on", near-infrared (NIR), two-photon, and ratiometric fluorescence response probes, are initially summarized, followed by discussing the advances in the development of other probes, such as bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, photoacoustic, Raman, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). The practical applications of the responsive probes in cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring and GGT inhibitor screening are then highlighted. Based on this information, the advantages, challenges, and prospects of responsive probe technology for GGT measurement are analyzed.

This review provides a summary of the recent advances of M2D NCs and their multimodal antitumor applications. We first introduce the design and fabrication of M2D NCs, followed by discussing new types of M2D NCs that have been recently reported. Then, a detailed analysis and discussions about the different types of M2D NCs are presented based on the structural categories of 2D NMs, including 2D graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal carbides/nitrides/carbonitrides (MXenes), black phosphorus (BP), layered double hydroxides (LDHs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and other 2D nanomaterials. In particular, we focus on the synthesis strategies, magnetic or optical responsive performance, and the versatile antitumor applications, which include magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), drug delivery, immunotherapy and multimodal imaging. We conclude the review by proposing future developments with an emphasis on the mass production and biodegradation mechanism of the M2D NCs. This work is expected to provide a comprehensive overview to researchers and engineers who are interested in such a research field and promote the clinical translation of M2D NCs in practical applications.

Abstract
Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) has achieved groundbreaking success in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, its toxic side effects seriously limit its therapeutic application in the treatment of solid tumors. To detoxify the severe side effects of arsenic, herein we synthesized innovative 2D ultrathin As2Se3 nanosheets (As2Se3 NSs) with synergistic photothermal-triggered immunotherapy effects. As2Se3 NSs are biocompatible and biodegradable under physiological conditions and can release As(III) and Se(0). Furthermore, selenium increases the immunomodulatory efficacy of arsenic treatments, facilitating reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment by As2Se3 NSs by enhancing the infiltration of natural killer cells and effector tumor-specific CD8+ T cells. The synergistic combination of photothermal therapy and immunotherapy driven by As2Se3 NSs via a simple but effective all-in-one strategy achieved efficient anticancer effects, addressing the key limitations of As2O3 for solid tumor treatment. This work demonstrates not only the great potential of selenium for detoxifying arsenic but also the application of 2D As2Se3 nanosheets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Oral insulin (INS) is predicted to have the most therapeutic advantages in treating diabetes to repress hepatic glucose production through its potential to mimic the endogenous insulin pathway. Many oral insulin delivery systems have been investigated. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) as an inorganic material has been widely used in drug delivery thanks to its appealing features such as good biocompatibility, low toxicity, and excellent loading capability. However, when used in oral drug delivery, the effectiveness of LDH is limited due to the acidic degradation in the stomach. In this study, to overcome these challenges, chitosan (Chi) and alginate (Alg) dual-coated LDH nanocomposites with the loading of insulin (Alg-Chi-LDH@INS) were developed by the layered-by-layered method for oral insulin delivery with dynamic size of ~ 350.8 nm, negative charge of ~ - 13.0 mV, and dispersity index 0.228. The insulin release profile was evaluated by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The drug release profiles evidenced that alginate and chitosan coating partially protect insulin release from a burst release in acidic conditions. The analysis using flow cytometry showed that chitosan coating significantly enhanced the uptake of LDH@INS by Caco-2 cells compared to unmodified LDH and free insulin. Further in the in vivo study in streptozocin-induced diabetic mice, a significant hypoglycemic effect was maintained following oral administration with great biocompatibility (~ 50% blood glucose level reduction at 4 h). This research has thus provided a potential nanocomposite system for oral delivery of insulin.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a widespread, recurrent, and chronic inflammatory skin condition that imposes a major burden on patients. Conventional treatments, such as corticosteroids, are associated with various side effects, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. In this study, the possibility of using indole-3-acetic acid-loaded layered double hydroxides (IAA-LDHs) is evaluated as a novel treatment for AD. IAA is an auxin-class plant hormone with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Following the synthesis of IAA-LDH nanohybrids, their ability to induce M2-like macrophage polarization in macrophages obtained from mouse bone marrow is assessed. The antioxidant activity of IAA-LDH is quantified by assessing the decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. The anti-inflammatory and anti-atopic characteristics of IAA-LDH are evaluated in a mouse model of AD by examining the cutaneous tissues, immunological organs, and cells. The findings suggest that IAA-LDH has great therapeutic potential as a candidate for AD treatment based on its in vitro and in vivo modulation of AD immunology, enhancement of macrophage polarization, and antioxidant activity. This inorganic drug delivery technology represents a promising new avenue for the development of safe and effective AD treatments.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) combines ultrasound and sonosensitizers to produce toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for cancer cell killing. Due to the high penetration depth of ultrasound (US), SDT breaks the depth penetration barrier of conventional photodynamic therapy for the treatment of deeply seated tumors. A key point to enhance the therapeutic efficiency of SDT is the development of novel sonosensitizers with promoted ability for ROS production. Herein, ultrathin Fe-doped bismuth oxychloride nanosheets with rich oxygen vacancies and bovine serum albumin coating on surface are designed as piezoelectric sonosensitizers (BOC-Fe NSs) for enhanced SDT. The oxygen vacancies of BOC-Fe NSs provide electron trapping sites to promote the separation of e- -h+ from the band structure, which facilitates the ROS production under the ultrasonic waves. The piezoelectric BOC-Fe NSs create a built-in field and the bending bands, further accelerating the ROS generation with US irradiation. Furthermore, BOC-Fe NSs can induce ROS generation by a Fenton reaction catalyzed by Fe ion with endogenous H2 O2 in tumor tissues for chemodynamic therapy. The as-prepared BOC-Fe NSs efficiently inhibited breast cancer cell growth in both in vitro and in vivo tests. The successfully development of BOC-Fe NSs provides a new nano-sonosensitiser option for enhanced SDT for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Despite the promising achievements of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy for tumor treatment, its therapeutic effect against solid tumors is limited due to the suppressed tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Herein, a series of polyethyleneimine (Mw = 0.8k, PEI0.8k )-covered MoS2 nanosheets with different sizes and charge densities are synthesized, and the CpG, a toll-like receptor-9 agonist, is enveloped to construct nanoplatforms for the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). It is proved that functionalized nanosheets with medium size display similar CpG loading capacity regardless of low or high PEI0.8k coverage owing to the flexibility and crimpability of 2D backbone. CpG-loaded nanosheets with medium size and low charge density (CpG@MM -PL ) could promote the maturation, antigen-presenting capacity, and proinflammatory cytokines generation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs). Further analysis reveals that CpG@MM -PL effectively boosts the TIME of HNSCC in vivo including DC maturation and cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration. Most importantly, the combination of CpG@MM -PL and ICB agents anti-programmed death 1 hugely improves the tumor therapeutic effect, inspiring more attempts for cancer immunotherapy. In addition, this work uncovers a pivotal feature of the 2D sheet-like materials in nanomedicine development, which should be considered for the design of future nanosheet-based therapeutic nanoplatforms.

Abstract
Overcoming apoptosis resistance is necessary to ensure an effective cancer treatment; however, it is currently very difficult to achieve. A desirable alternative for cancer treatment is the targeted activation of pyroptosis, a unique type of programmed cell death. However, the pyroptosis inducers that are efficient for cancer therapy are limited. This work reports the engineering of 2D NiCoOx nanosheets as inducers of the production of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS), which promote intense cell pyroptosis, and that can be applied to ultrasound (US)-augmented catalytic tumor nanotherapy. The main therapeutic task is carried out by the 2D NiCoOx nanosheets, which have four multienzyme-mimicking activities: peroxidase- (POD), oxidase- (OXD), glutathione peroxidase- (GPx), and catalase- (CAT) mimicking activities. These activities induce the reversal of the hypoxic microenvironment, endogenous glutathione depletion, and a continuous ROS output. The ROS-induced pyroptosis process is carried out via the ROS-NLRP3-GSDMD pathway, and the exogenous US activation boosts the multienzyme-mimicking activities and favors the incremental ROS generation, thus inducing mitochondrial dysfunction. The anti-cancer experimental results support the dominance of NiCoOx nanosheet-induced pyroptosis. This work expands on the biomedical applications of engineering 2D materials for US-augmented catalytic breast cancer nanotherapy and deepens the understanding of the multienzyme activities of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Nanozyme-based tumour catalytic therapy has attracted widespread attention in recent years, but the therapeutic efficacy is limited due to the trapping of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) by endogenous glutathione (GSH) in the tumour microenvironment (TME). Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 is constructed in this work to serve as a new kind of nanozyme for combination chemotherapy and catalytic treatment. Zr/Ce-MOFs can produce ˙OH in a mimic TME, and the MnO2 on the surface could deplete the GSH, further promoting the ˙OH generation. The pH/GSH dual stimulation accelerates the release of anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) in tumour tissue for enhanced tumour chemotherapy. Moreover, Mn2+ produced by the reaction of Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 and GSH can be used as the contrast agent for T1-MRI. The potential antitumour effect of Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 is demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo cancer treatment tests. This work thus provides a new nanozyme-based platform for enhanced combination chemotherapy and catalytic treatment for tumours.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, such as graphene, black phosphorus and transition metal dichalcogenides, have attracted increasing attention in biology and biomedicine. Their high mechanical stiffness, excellent electrical conductivity, optical transparency, and biocompatibility have led to rapid advances. Neuroscience is a complex field with many challenges, such as nervous system is difficult to repair and regenerate, as well as the early diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases are also challenged. This review mainly focuses on the application of 2D nanomaterials in neuroscience. Firstly, we introduced various types of 2D nanomaterials. Secondly, due to the repairment and regeneration of nerve is an important problem in the field of neuroscience, we summarized the studies of 2D nanomaterials applied in neural repairment and regeneration based on their unique physicochemical properties and excellent biocompatibility. We also discussed the potential of 2D nanomaterial-based synaptic devices to mimic connections among neurons in the human brain due to their low-power switching capabilities and high mobility of charge carriers. In addition, we also reviewed the potential clinical application of various 2D nanomaterials in diagnosing and treating neurodegenerative diseases, neurological system disorders, as well as glioma. Finally, we discussed the challenge and future directions of 2D nanomaterials in neuroscience.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 646:547-554. [PMID: 37210902 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.05.069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
The polyoxometalates (POMs) have been shown to be highly effective as reactive sites for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation reactions. However, the effect of POMs regulation on catalytic performance has not been reported yet. Herein, a series of composites (SiW9M3@MIL-101(Cr) (M = Fe, Co, V, Mo) and D-SiW9Mo3@MIL-101(Cr), D, Disordered) were obtained by regulating transition metal compositions and arrangement in the POMs. The ammonia production rate of SiW9Mo3@MIL-101(Cr) is much higher than that of other composites, reaching 185.67 μmol·h-1·g-1cat in N2 without sacrificial agents. The structural characterization of composites reveals that the increase of the electron cloud density of W atom in composites is the key to improve the photocatalytic performance. In this paper, the microchemical environment of POMs was regulated by transition metal doping method, thereby promoting the efficiency of photocatalytic ammonia synthesis for the composites, which provides new insights into the design of POM-based photocatalysts with high catalytic activity.

Abstract
Although tumor immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic method for oncology, it encounters several limitations, especially concerning low response rates and potential off-targets that elicit side effects. Furthermore, tumor immunogenicity is the critical factor that predicts the success rate of immunotherapy, which can be boosted by the application of nanotechnology. Herein, we introduce the current approach of cancer immunotherapy and its challenges and the general methods to enhance tumor immunogenicity. Importantly, this review highlights the integration of anticancer chemo/immuno-based drugs with multifunctional nanomedicines that possess imaging modality to determine tumor location and can respond to stimuli, such as light, pH, magnetic field, or metabolic changes, to trigger chemotherapy, phototherapy, radiotherapy, or catalytic therapy to upregulate tumor immunogenicity. This promotion rouses immunological memory, such as enhanced immunogenic cell death, promoted maturation of dendritic cells, and activation of tumor-specific T cells against cancer. Finally, we express the related challenges and personal perspectives of bioengineered nanomaterials for future cancer immunotherapy.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 633:657-667.

Abstract
Melanoma is an aggressive tumor located in skin with high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Due to the limited traditional therapies, the development of novel strategies against melanoma is urgently quested. To reduce the side effects of traditional administration ways and amplify the killing effect, an injectable sodium alginate (SA)-based hydrogels were developed, in which CaCO3/polydopamine nanoparticles (CaCO3/PDA NPs) were embedded for the synergistic photothermal/calcium ions interference therapy of melanoma. In the study, the formation conditions and mechanical properties of CaCO3/PDA-SA hydrogels were characterized, and their antitumor efficiency and mechanism against mouse melanoma cells were investigated. Wheninjectedintratumorally, CaCO3/PDA-SA fluid was converted into hydrogel in situ through the interaction of pH-sensitive released Ca2+ and alginate chains, which increased the retention time of photothermal agents (CaCO3/PDA NPs) at tumor sites and thereby was more conducive to produce hyperthermia via photothermal conversion to combat melanoma. Moreover, in acidic tumor microenvironment, the residual CaCO3/PDA NPs in hydrogels continuously decomposed and released Ca2+ to destroy the Ca2+ buffering capacity and evoke the mitochondrial Ca2+-overloading, resulting in the inhibition of adenosine triphosphate production to accelerate cell death. Notably, besides the heat elevation, the near-infrared light (NIR) irradiation would further enhance the release of Ca2+ to promote the Ca2+-involved cell death. Therefore, a pH/NIR-responsive and injectable SA-based hydrogels were successfully established and showed enhanced treatment efficacy of melanoma through the synergism of photothermal therapy and calcium ions interference therapy.

Gold nanobipyramid@copper sulfide nanotheranostics for image-guided NIR-II photo/chemodynamic cancer therapy with enhanced immune response. Acta Biomater 2023; 158:649-659.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can cause cancer cell death through an immunogenic process. However, the study of second near-infrared window (NIR-II)-triggered PTT and PDT combined with CDT to induce an immune response has not been recently reported. Here, we integrated gold nanobipyramids and copper sulfide in a core/shell architecture (AuNBP@CuS). The material displays both photodynamic and photothermal properties under irradiation with a NIR-II laser. The released Cu2+ from CuS under an acidic tumor microenvironment can be converted to Cu+ by glutathione following a Fenton-like reaction with hydrogen peroxide to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals in the tumor region. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that such multifunctional nanoplatforms could achieve enhanced efficiency for image-guided tumor suppression based on the NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy. We found that damage-associated molecular pattern molecules such as adenosine triphosphate, pre-apoptotic calreticulin, and high mobility group box-1 in dying cells induced by the NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy could simultaneously trigger adaptive immune responses. This is the first report revealing that NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy based on AuNBP@CuS had promising performance on tumor suppressor with an effective immunogenic cell death process. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. AuNBP@CuS displays both NIR-II photodynamic and photothermal properties. 2. Cu+ following a Fenton-like reaction to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals. 3. The NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy can trigger adaptive immune responses. 4. Such multifunctional nanoplatforms could achieve enhanced efficiency for tumor suppression.

Abstract
Hydrogels, also known as three-dimensional, flexible, and polymer networks, are composed of natural and/or synthetic polymers with exceptional properties such as hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, biofunctionality, and elasticity. Researchers in biomedicine, biosensing, pharmaceuticals, energy and environment, agriculture, and cosmetics are interested in hydrogels. Hydrogels have limited adaptability for complicated biological information transfer in biomedical applications due to their lack of electrical conductivity and low mechanical strength, despite significant advances in the development and use of hydrogels. The nano-filler-hydrogel hybrid system based on supramolecular interaction between host and guest has emerged as one of the potential solutions to the aforementioned issues. Black phosphorus, as one of the representatives of novel two-dimensional materials, has gained a great deal of interest in recent years owing to its exceptional physical and chemical properties, among other nanoscale fillers. However, a few numbers of publications have elaborated on the scientific development of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels extensively. In this review, this review thus summarized the benefits of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels and highlighted the most recent biological uses of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels. Finally, the difficulties and future possibilities of the development of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels are reviewed in an effort to serve as a guide for the application and manufacture of black phosphorus -based hydrogels. Recent applications of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels in biomedicine.
