Due to the intrinsic non-invasive nature, cost-effectiveness, high safety, and real-time capabilities, besides diagnostic imaging, ultrasound as a typical mechanical wave has been extensively developed as a physical tool for versatile biomedical applications. Especially, the prosperity of nanotechnology and nanomedicine invigorates the landscape of ultrasound-based medicine. The unprecedented surge in research enthusiasm and dedicated efforts have led to a mass of multifunctional micro-/nanosystems being applied in ultrasound biomedicine, facilitating precise diagnosis, effective treatment, and personalized theranostics. The effective deployment of versatile ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems in biomedical applications is rooted in a profound understanding of the relationship among composition, structure, property, bioactivity, application, and performance. In this comprehensive review, we elaborate on the general principles regarding the design, synthesis, functionalization, and optimization of ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for abundant biomedical applications. In particular, recent advancements in ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for diagnostic imaging are meticulously summarized. Furthermore, we systematically elucidate state-of-the-art studies concerning recent progress in ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for therapeutic applications targeting various pathological abnormalities including cancer, bacterial infection, brain diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related death in men, and most PCa patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy will progress to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) due to the lack of efficient treatment. Recently, lots of research indicated that photothermal therapy (PTT) was a promising alternative that provided an accurate and efficient prostate cancer therapy. A photothermic agent (PTA) is a basic component of PPT and is divided into organic and inorganic PTAs. Besides, the combination of PTT and other therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), immunotherapy (IT), chemotherapy (CT), etc., provides an more efficient strategy for PCa therapy. Here, we introduce basic information about PTT and summarize the PTT treatment strategies for prostate cancer. Based on recent works, we think the combination of PPT and other therapies provides a novel possibility for PCa, especially CRPC clinical treatment.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128662.

Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA)-based microcapsules, capable of releasing chlorine dioxide (ClO2) upon exposure to moisture, have been developed for fruits and vegetables preservation. The microcapsules were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation, utilizing PLA as the wall material, and NaClO2 as the core material. After optimization, NaClO2 microcapsules exhibited an encapsulation efficiency of 55.75% and an average particle size of 498.08 μm. Citric acid microcapsules were prepared using the same process, but with citric acid as the core material. When the two kinds of microcapsules were mixed, gaseous ClO2 was released in a highly humid environment. The release rate could be adjusted by temperature and the ratio between the two microcapsules, and the release period could be as long as 17 days at 20 °C. With a certain amount of microcapsules placed in the package of cherry tomatoes, the decay rate and weight loss rate of the fruits were reduced by 63 % and 34 %, respectively, compared to the control group. The microcapsules also helped to maintain the good appearance, hardness, and the content of total soluble solid content and titratable acid content of cherry tomatoes. Therefore, the PLA-based microcapsules have satisfied convenience and effectiveness for application in fruit and vegetables preservation.

Abstract
Microbubbles have been the earliest and most widely used ultrasound contrast agents by virtue of their unique features: such as non-toxicity, intravenous injectability, ability to cross the pulmonary capillary bed, and significant enhancement of echo signals for the duration of the examination, resulting in essential preclinical and clinical applications. The use of microbubbles functionalized with targeting ligands to bind to specific targets in the bloodstream has further enabled ultrasound molecular imaging. Nevertheless, it is very challenging to utilize targeted microbubbles for molecular imaging of extravascular targets due to their size. A series of acoustic nanomaterials have been developed for breaking free from this constraint. Especially, biogenic gas vesicles, gas-filled protein nanostructures from microorganisms, were engineered as the first biomolecular ultrasound contrast agents, opening the door for more direct visualization of cellular and molecular function by ultrasound imaging. The ordered protein shell structure and unique gas filling mechanism of biogenic gas vesicles endow them with excellent stability and attractive acoustic responses. What's more, their genetic encodability enables them to act as acoustic reporter genes. This article reviews the upgrading progresses of ultrasound contrast agents from microbubbles to biogenic gas vesicles, and the opportunities and challenges for the commercial and clinical translation of the nascent field of biomolecular ultrasound.

Abstract
The present work evaluates the thermal behavior of graphene oxide (GO) when deposited on 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA), in order to develop a medical device for photothermal therapy applications. An experimental-numerical analysis was performed to assess the photothermal conversion capacity, based on the power emitted by a NIR (785 nm) laser, and the subsequent temperature distribution on the GO-PLA material. The influence of the deposited mass of GO and the PLA thickness was studied through 40 different scenarios. The results estimated a value of photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 32.6%, achieved for the lower laser power density that was tested (0.335 mW/mm²), and a high mass value of deposited GO (1.024 × 10-3 mg/mm²). In fact, an optimal mass of GO in the range of 1.024-2.048 × 10-3 mg/mm2 is proposed, in terms of absorption capacity, since a higher mass of GO would not increase the conversion efficiency. Moreover, the study allowed for an estimation of the thermal conductivity of this specific biomaterial (0.064 W/m·K), and proved that a proper combination of GO mass, PLA thickness, and laser power can induce ablative (>60 °C, in a concentrated area), moderate (50 °C), and mild (43 °C) hyperthermia on the bottom face of the biomaterial.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging using energy conversion from light to ultrasound waves has been developed as a powerful tool to investigate in vivo phenomena due to their complex characteristics. In photoacoustic imaging, endogenous chromophores such as oxygenated hemoglobin, deoxygenated hemoglobin, melanin, and lipid provide useful biomedical information at the molecular level. However, these intrinsic absorbers show strong absorbance only in visible or infrared optical windows and have limited light transmission, making them difficult to apply for clinical translation. Therefore, the development of novel exogenous contrast agents capable of increasing imaging depth while ensuring strong light absorption is required. We report here the application of carbon nanomaterials that exhibit unique physical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties as imaging probes in photoacoustic imaging. Classified into specific structures, carbon nanomaterials are synthesized with different substances according to the imaging purposes to modulate the absorption spectra and highly enhance photoacoustic signals. In addition, functional drugs can be loaded into the carbon nanomaterials composite, and effective in vivo monitoring and photothermal therapy can be performed with cell-specific targeting. Diverse applied cases suggest the high potential of carbon nanomaterial-based photoacoustic imaging in in vivo monitoring for clinical research.

Abstract
To date, nanotechnology has increasingly been identified as a promising and efficient means to address a number of challenges associated with public health. In the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) biomaterials, as a unique nanoplatform with planar topology, have attracted explosive interest in various fields such as biomedicine due to their unique morphology, physicochemical properties and biological effect. Motivated by the progress of graphene in biomedicine, dozens of types of ultrathin 2D biomaterials have found versatile bio-applications, including biosensing, biomedical imaging, delivery of therapeutic agents, cancer theranostics, tissue engineering, as well as others. The effective utilization of 2D biomaterials stems from the in-depth knowledge of structure-property-bioactivity-biosafety-application-performance relationships. A comprehensive summary of 2D biomaterials for biomedicine is still lacking. In this comprehensive review, we aim to concentrate on the state-of-the-art 2D biomaterials with a particular focus on their versatile biomedical applications. In particular, we discuss the design, fabrication and functionalization of 2D biomaterials used for diverse biomedical applications based on the up-to-date progress. Furthermore, the interactions between 2D biomaterials and biological systems on the spatial-temporal scale are highlighted, which will deepen the understanding of the underlying action mechanism of 2D biomaterials aiding their design with improved functionalities. Finally, taking the bench-to-bedside as a focus, we conclude this review by proposing the current crucial issues/challenges and presenting the future development directions to advance the clinical translation of these emerging 2D biomaterials.

Abstract
In recent years, more and more research enthusiasm has been devoted to the development of emerging two-dimensional (2D) monoelement materials (Xenes) and explored potential applications in various fields, especially biomedicine and bioimaging. The inspiring results attribute to their excellent physicochemical properties, including adjustable band gap, surface electronic layout characteristics, and so on, making it easier for surface modification in order to meet designated needs. As a popular interdisciplinary research frontier, a variety of methods for fabricating 2D Xenes have recently been adopted for pre-preparing future practical bioimaging applications, which implies that these materials will have broad clinical application prospects in the future. In this review, we will concentrate on the family of 2D Xenes and summarize their fabrication and modification methods firstly. Then, their applications in bioimaging as nanocarriers will be described according to the Periodic Table of Elements. In addition, current challenges and prospects for further clinical applications will be under discussion and use black phosphorus as a typical example. At last, general conclusion will be made that it is worth expecting that 2D Xenes will play a key role in the next generation of oncologic bioimaging in the future.

Abstract
Hierarchical assembly of two-dimensional (2D) polymers to 3D microstructures provides new means of creating functional materials with exotic properties for extensive applications. Herein, we report an approach of assembling 2D covalent organic framework (COF) colloidosomes or microcapsules from small molecules. We polymerized monomers to produce narrowly distributed COF particles with average particle sizes greater than 490 nm, which were further used as stabilizers to prepare various water-in-oil Pickering emulsions with droplet sizes of 10-120 μm on average. The emulsion droplets were subsequently applied as templates for interfacial polymerization of the same monomers. The COF microcapsules with varied diameters and shell thicknesses of 0.2-3.1 μm were thus obtained, which possessed good stability, high crystallinity, and surface areas no less than 540 m2/g. The approach also permits facile loading of water-soluble substances such as salts, dyes, or proteins. The loaded molecules demonstrated different permeability against the shell, in which 98% of the encapsulated salts could be released in 1 h while only 18% of dye molecules and almost none of the fluorescent proteins diffused out from the microcapsules. Such an assembling approach may greatly extend the applications of 2D polymers and their microcapsules.

Trivalent Cations Detection of Magnetic-Sensitive Microcapsules by Controlled-Release Fluorescence Off-On Sensor. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11071801.

Abstract
A pyrene-based derivative, 2-((pyrene-1-ylmethylene)amino)ethanol (PE) nanoparticle, was encapsulated via water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsion with the solvent evaporation method by one-pot reaction and utilized as a fluorescence turn-on sensor for detecting Fe3+, Cr3+, and Al3+ ions. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) embedded in polycaprolactone (PCL) were used as the magnetic-sensitive polyelectrolyte microcapsule-triggered elements in the construction of the polymer matrix. The microcapsules were characterized by ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) titrations, quantum yield (Φf) calculations, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry (SQUID) studies. This novel responsive release of the microcapsule fluorescence of the turn-on sensor for detecting trivalent cations was due to the compound PE and the MNPs being incorporated well within the whole system, and an effective thermal and kinetic energy transfer between the core and shell structure efficiently occurred in the externally oscillating magnetic field. The magnetic-sensitive fluorescence turn-on microcapsules show potential for effective metal ion sensing in environmental monitoring and even biomedical applications. Under the optimal controlled-release probe fluorescence conditions with high-frequency magnetic field treatment, the limit of detection (LOD) reached 1.574–2.860 μM and recoveries ranged from 94.7–99.4% for those metals in tap water.

Abstract
This work develops a new multifunctional biocompatible anticancer nanoformulation to provide targeted image-guided cancer-selective therapeutics. It consists of three active covalently bound components: (1) biocompatible nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a multifunctional delivery and imaging platform, (2) hyaluronic acid (HA) unit targeted to the CD44 receptors on a variety of cancer cells, and (3) oxidative stress-based cancer-selective ferrocene (Fc) therapeutic. The biocompatible GQD platform synthesized from glucosamine exhibits high-yield intrinsic fluorescence. It is utilized for tracking Fc-GQD-HA formulation in vitro indicating internalization enhancement in HeLa cells targeted by the HA over non-cancer HEK-293 cells not overexpressing CD44 receptor. Fc-GQD-HA, non-toxic at 1 mg/mL to HEK-293 cells, induces cytotoxic response in HeLa enhanced over time, while therapeutic ROS generation by Fc-GQD-HA is ~3 times greater than that of Fc alone. This outlines the targeted delivery, imaging, and cancer-specific treatment capabilities of the new Fc-GQD-HA formulation enabling desired cancer-focused nanotherapeutic approach.

Abstract
Contrast-enhanced X-ray computed tomography plays an important role in cancer imaging and disease progression monitoring. Imaging using radiopaque nanoparticle platforms can provide insights on the likelihood of nanoparticle accumulation and can enable image-guided therapies. Perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB)-loaded nanocapsules designed for this purpose were stabilized using an in-house synthesized PEGylated polycaprolactone-based copolymer (PEG-b-PCL(Ch)) and compared with commercial polycaprolactone employing a Quality-by-Design approach. PFOB is a dense liquid, weakly polarizable, and immiscible in organic and aqueous solvents; thus, carefully designed formulations for optimal colloidal stabilization to overcome settling-associated instability are required. PFOB-loaded nanocapsules exhibited high PFOB loading due to the intrinsic properties of PEG-b-PCL(Ch). Settling and caking are major sources of instability for PFOB formulations. However, the PEG-b-PCL(Ch) copolymer conferred the nanocapsules enough steric impediment and polymer shell elasticity to settle without significant caking, increasing the overall colloidal stability of the formulation. Furthermore, a clear relationship between nanocapsule physical properties and X-ray attenuation was established. Nanocapsules were able to enhance the X-ray contrast in vitro as a function of PFOB loading. This nanocapsule-based platform is promising for future translational studies and image-guided tumor therapy due to its enhanced contrastability and optimal colloidal stability.

Abstract
Cancer represents one of the main causes of death in the world; hence the development of more specific approaches for its diagnosis and treatment is urgently needed in clinical practice. Here we aim at providing a comprehensive review on the use of 2-dimensional materials (2DMs) in cancer theranostics. In particular, we focus on graphene-related materials (GRMs), graphene hybrids, and graphdiyne (GDY), as well as other emerging 2DMs, such as MXene, tungsten disulfide (WS2), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), black phosphorus (BP), silicene, antimonene (AM), germanene, biotite (black mica), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and others. The results reported in the scientific literature in the last ten years (>200 papers) are dissected here with respect to the wide variety of combinations of imaging methodologies and therapeutic approaches, including drug/gene delivery, photothermal/photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy. We provide a unique multidisciplinary approach in discussing the literature, which also includes a detailed section on the characterization methods used to analyze the material properties, highlighting the merits and limitations of the different approaches. The aim of this review is to show the strong potential of 2DMs for use as cancer theranostics, as well as to highlight issues that prevent the clinical translation of these materials. Overall, we hope to shed light on the hidden potential of the vast panorama of new and emerging 2DMs as clinical cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Recently, two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDCs) have drawn certain attentions in many fields. The unique and diversified electronic structure and ultrathin sheet structure of 2D TMDCs offer opportunities for moving ahead of other 2D nanomaterials such as graphene and expanding the wide application of inorganic 2D nanomaterials in many fields. For a better understanding of 2D TMDCs, one needs to know methods for their synthesis and modification, as well as their potential applications and possible biological toxicity. Herein, we summarized the recent research progress of 2D TMDCs with particular focus on their biomedical applications and potential health risks. Firstly, two kinds of synthesis methods of 2D TMDCs, top-down and bottom-up, and methods for their surface functionalization are reviewed. Secondly, the applications of 2D TMDCs in the field of biomedicine, including drug loading, photothermal therapy, biological imaging and biosensor were summarized. After that, we presented the existing researches on biosafety evaluation of 2D TMDCs. At last, we discussed major research gap in current researches and challenges and coping strategies in future studies.

Abstract
As the main symptom of Alzheimer's disease-related dementia is memory loss, patient compliance for donepezil hydrochloride (donepezil), administered as once-daily oral formulations, is poor. Thus, we aimed to design poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres (MS) with alginate-coated large pores as an injectable depot of donepezil exhibiting sustained release over 2-3 weeks. The PLGA MS with large pores could provide large space for loading drugs with high loading capacity, and thereby sufficient amounts of drugs were considered to be delivered with minimal use of PLGA MS being injected. However, initial burst release of donepezil from the porous PLGA MS was observed. To reduce this initial burst release, the surface pores were closed with calcium alginate coating using a spray-ionotropic gelation method. The final pore-closed PLGA MS showed in vitro sustained release for approximately 3 weeks, and the initial burst release was remarkably decreased by the calcium alginate coating. In the prediction of plasma drug concentration profiles using convolution method, the mean residence time of the pore-closed PLGA MS was 2.7-fold longer than that of the porous PLGA MS. Therefore, our results reveal that our pore-closed PLGA MS formulation is a promising candidate for the treatment of dementia with high patient compliance.

Abstract
The application of Graphene Oxide (GO) in cancer photothermal therapy is hindered by its lack of colloidal stability in biologically relevant media and modest Near Infrared (NIR) absorption. In this regard, the colloidal stability of GO has been improved by functionalizing its surface with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), which may not be optimal due to the recent reports on PEG immunogenicity. On the other hand, the chemical reduction of GO using hydrazine hydrate has been applied to enhance its photothermal capacity, despite decreasing its cytocompatibility. In this work GO was functionalized with an amphiphilic polymer containing [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SBMA) brushes and was loaded with IR780, for the first time, aiming to improve its colloidal stability and phototherapeutic capacity. The attained results revealed that the SBMA-functionalized GO displays a suitable size distribution, neutral surface charge and adequate cytocompatibility. Furthermore, the SBMA-functionalized GO exhibited an improved colloidal stability in biologically relevant media, while its non-SBMA functionalized equivalent promptly precipitated under the same conditions. By loading IR780 into the SBMA-functionalized GO, its NIR absorption increased by 2.7-fold, leading to a 1.2 times higher photothermal heating. In in vitro cell studies, the combination of SBMA-functionalized GO with NIR light only reduced breast cancer cells' viability to 73%. In stark contrast, by combining IR780 loaded SBMA-functionalized GO and NIR radiation, the cancer cells' viability decreased to 20%, hence confirming the potential of this nanomaterial for cancer photothermal therapy. IR780 loaded SBMA-coated GO displayed an improved colloidal stability in biologically relevant media and an enhanced photothermal capacity.![]()

Abstract
Microbubbles (MBs) have recently emerged as promising theranostic carriers for ultrasound contrast imaging and drug delivery. However, conventional lipid-based MBs have a poor drug encapsulation efficiency, and polymer-based MBs show a weak capability in contrast imaging and ultrasound-triggered drug release. Here, we developed a novel type of multiporous lipid/PLGA hybrid MBs (lipid/PLGA MBs) that solved the dilemma of MBs as imaging agents and drug carriers. The lipid/PLGA MBs were designed through regulating the elasticity of the bubble shells using lipids to incorporate into the PLGA shells and ammonium bicarbonate as a gas-generating agent. The softened shells and the porous bubble structure make them be able to generate stronger harmonic signals and be more vulnerable to ultrasound irradiation, leading to their excellent performance in ultrasound contrast imaging and ultrasound-triggered MB destruction in vitro and in vivo. By using doxorubicin (Dox) as a model drug, the Dox-loaded lipid/PLGA MBs (Dox-lipid/PLGA MBs) were prepared and achieved a high drug encapsulation efficiency. The real-time tracking of drug delivery and on-command controlled drug release by ultrasound were successfully realized in the tumor-bearing mice. A significantly enhanced tumor growth inhibition effect could be observed when using Dox-lipid/PLGA MBs combined with ultrasound irradiation, compared with free Dox and Dox-lipid/PLGA MBs without ultrasound. Our study provides an innovative multifunctional platform of MBs for ultrasound contrast imaging and drug delivery applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with unique physicochemical properties have received a great deal of interest in the field of biological, chemical and biomedical implementations. Despite the widespread use of AuNPs in chemical and biological sensing, catalysis, imaging and diagnosis, and more recently in therapy, no comprehensive summary has been provided to explain how AuNPs could aid in developing improved sensing and catalysts systems as well as medical settings. SCOPE OF REVIEW The chemistry of Au-based nanosystems was followed by reviewing different applications of Au nanomaterials in biological and chemical sensing, catalysis, imaging and diagnosis by a number of approaches, and finally synergistic combination therapy of different cancers. Afterwards, the clinical impacts of AuNPs, future application of AuNPs, and opportunities and challenges of AuNPs application were also discussed. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS AuNPs show exclusive colloidal stability and are considered as ideal candidates for colorimetric detection, catalysis, imaging, and photothermal transducers, because their physicochemical properties can be tuned by adjusting their structural dimensions achieved by the different manufacturing methods. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This review provides some details about using AuNPs in sensing and catalysis applications as well as promising theranostic nanoplatforms for cancer imaging and diagnosis, and sensitive, non-invasive, and synergistic methods for cancer treatment in an almost comprehensive manner.

Abstract
In ultrasonography, ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) that possess high acoustic impedance mismatch with the bulk medium are frequently employed to highlight the borders between tissues by enhanced ultrasound scattering in a clinic. Typically, the most common UCA, microbubble, is generally close in size to a red blood cell (<∼10 μm). These microscale UCAs cannot be directly entrapped into the target cells but generate several orders of magnitude stronger echo signals than the nanoscale ones. And their large containment and high ultrasound responsiveness also greatly facilitate to perform combined treatments, e.g., drug delivery and other imaging techniques. So multifunctionalized microscale UCAs appear on this scene and keep growing toward a promising direction for precise theranostics. In this review, we systematically summarize the new advances in the principles and preparations of multifunctionalized microscale UCAs and their medical applications for malignant tumors.

Abstract
The extensive research of graphene and its derivatives in biomedical applications during the past few years has witnessed its significance in the field of nanomedicine. Starting from simple drug delivery systems, the application of graphene and its derivatives has been extended to a versatile platform of multiple therapeutic modalities, including photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and sonodynamic therapy. In addition to monotherapy, graphene-based materials are widely applied in combined therapies for enhanced anticancer activity and reduced side effects. In particular, graphene-based materials are often designed and fabricated as "smart" platforms for stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, whose therapeutic effects can be activated by the tumor microenvironment, such as acidic pH and elevated glutathione (termed as "endogenous stimuli"), or light, magnetic, or ultrasonic stimuli (termed as "exogenous stimuli"). Herein, the recent advances of smart graphene platforms for combined therapy applications are presented, starting with the principle for the design of graphene-based smart platforms in combined therapy applications. Next, recent advances of combined therapies contributed by graphene-based materials, including chemotherapy-based, photothermal-therapy-based, and ultrasound-therapy-based synergistic therapy, are outlined. In addition, current challenges and future prospects regarding this promising field are discussed.

Abstract
Many graphene-based materials (GBNs) applied to therapy and diagnostics (theranostics) in cancer have been developed. Most of them are hybrid combinations of graphene with other components (e.g, drugs or other bioactives, polymers, and nanoparticles) aiming toward a synergic theranostic effect. However, the role of graphene in each of these hybrids is sometimes not clear enough and the synergic graphene effect is not proven. The objective of this review is to elaborate on the role of GBNs in the studies evaluated and to compare the nanoformulations in terms of some of their characteristics, such as therapeutic outcomes and toxicity, which are essential features for their potential use as bionanosystems. A systematic review was carried out using the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science (2013⁻2018). Additional studies were identified manually by consulting the references list of relevant reviews. Only English papers presenting at least one strategy for cancer therapy and one strategy for cancer diagnostics, and that clearly show the role of graphene in theranostics, were included. Data extraction and quality assessment was made by reviewer pairings. Fifty-five studies met the inclusion criteria, but they were too heterogeneous to combine in statistical meta-analysis. Critical analysis and discussion of the selected papers are presented.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to develop a novel fluorescence/ultrasound dual-modal contrast agent. We prepared multicolor nanobubbles by doping with three fluorescent dyes for combined fluorescence and contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging. The nanobubbles based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) with different doping dye ratio combinations exhibited multiple colors under single wavelength excitation, allowing multiplexed assays for various biomedical applications. In vitro and in vivo ultrasound imaging indicated that nanobubbles have great contrast enhancement capability. In vivo fluorescence imaging showed the excellent ability to provide simultaneous multicolor imaging. The novel multicolor nanobubbles may have great potential for a variety of applications in the study of life science and clinical medicine.

Abstract
This paper illustrates the potential of Ag nanoparticles based nanocomposites to use as effective agents in photothermal therapy apart from their traditional employment as antimicrobial materials. Herein an Near- Infrared active photothermal agent was fabricated by deposition of Ag nanoparticles over aromatic poly(amidoamine) grafted carbon nanotubes. Thus prepared CNTs-PAMAM-Ag possessed strong photothermal effect under exposure to 980 nm laser system and prominent photothermal stability. The photothermal conversion efficiency of CNTs-PAMAM-Ag was found to be higher than readily used Au and CuS based photothermal agents. The photothermal effect of CNTs-PAMAM-Ag was substantial in presence of 980 nm laser compared to 808 nm laser and a linear dependence of photothermal effect on its concentration was identified. The maximum temperature attained by CNTs-PAMAM-Ag during assessment of its photothermal effect was about 66.0 °C, which is significantly higher than the survival temperature level of cancer cells. So CNTs-PAMAM-Ag could be a promising photothermal agent to apply in future photothermal hyperthermia therapy to treat cancer. Moreover CNTs-PAMAM-Ag can synchronous trigger by a single wavelength (980 nm) laser system, so it could simplify the future therapeutic process.

Abstract
Molecular imaging has been widely used not only as an important detection technology in the field of medical imaging for cancer diagnosis but also as a theranostic approach for cancer in recent years. Multifunctional carbon-based nanomaterials (MCBNs), characterized by unparalleled optical, electronic, and thermal properties, have attracted increasing interest and demonstrably hold the greatest promise in biomolecular imaging and therapy. As such, it should come as no surprise that MCBNs have already revealed a great deal of potential applications in biomedical areas, such as bioimaging, drug delivery, and tumor therapy. Carbon nanomaterials can be categorized as graphene, single-walled carbon nanotubes, mesoporous carbon, nanodiamonds, fullerenes, or carbon dots on the basis of their morphologies. In this article, reports of the use of MCBNs in various chemical conjugation/functionalization strategies, focusing on their applications in cancer molecular imaging and imaging-guided therapy, will be comprehensively summarized. MCBNs show the possibility to serve as optimal candidates for precise cancer biotheranostics.

Abstract
BiOBr nanosheets are important photocatalytic nanomaterials. However, their biological effects remain to be explored. In this study, we investigated the antifungal effect of BiOBr nanosheets on Candida albicans. Strikingly, the nanosheets strongly inhibited the growth of C. albicans [IC50=(96±4.7) mg/L], hyphal development and biofilm formation. Compareed to the antifungal effect of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, the inhibitory effect of the nanosheets on fungal pathogen was attributed to cetyltrimethylammonium bromide adsorbed by the nanosheets. Thermal gravity analysis and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide release experiment indicated that only 0.42% cetyltrimethylammonium bromide on BiOBr nanosheets was released. Taken together, this study uncovers the contribution of surfactant released from the nanosheets to their antifungal activity.

Abstract
Microencapsulation techniques represent a critical step in realizing highly controlled transport of functional materials in multiphase systems. The first demonstration of microcapsules prepared from minimally grafted silk ionomers (silk fibroin modified with cationic/anionic charge groups) are presented here. These tailored biomacromolecules have shown significantly increased biocompatibility over traditional polyelectrolytes and heavily grafted silk ionomers, but the low grafting density had previously limited attempts to fabricate stable microcapsules. In addition, the first microcapsules from polyethylene-glycol-grafted silk ionomers are fabricated and the corresponding impact on microcapsule behavior is demonstrated. The materials are shown to exhibit pH-responsive properties, with the microcapsules demonstrating an approx. tenfold decrease in stiffness and an approx. threefold change in diffusion coefficient when moving from acidic to basic buffer. Finally, the effect of assembly conditions of the microcapsules are shown to play a large role in determining final properties, with microcapsules prepared in acidic buffers showing lower roughness, stiffness, and an inversion in transport behavior (i.e., permeability decreases at higher pH).

Abstract
Photothermal therapy with various nanoparticles, as photothermal transducers, is a widely researched technique. A continuous wave (CW) laser is employed during this procedure. The therapeutic setup is slightly modified to measure the optical absorption cross-section of the graphene oxide (GO), by mitigating the effects of heat diffusion and light scattering. With an 808-nm CW laser setup modulated by a waveform modulation setup, the effect of nanoparticle size and composition of GO in water on optical absorption cross section is characterized.

Abstract
In the cutting-edge field of cancer therapy, noninvasive photothermal therapy (PTT) has received great attention because it is considered to overcome the drawbacks of conventional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy of severe body injuries and side effects on the immune system. The construction of PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms is the key issue in achieving tumor targeting, imaging and therapy in a synergetic manner. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in constructing PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms by integrating nanomaterials and functional polymers. The noninvasive photothermal cancer therapy mechanism and achievement strategies of PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms are presented as well as the innovative construction strategies and perspectives for the future. Owing to their high tumor ablation efficiency, biological availability and low- or non-toxicity, PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms are promising and emerging in medicine and clinical applications.
