Abstract
The invention of silica-based bioactive glass in the late 1960s has sparked significant interest in exploring a wide range of silicon-containing biomaterials from the macroscale to the nanoscale. Over the past few decades, these biomaterials have been extensively explored for their potential in diverse biomedical applications, considering their remarkable bioactivity, excellent biocompatibility, facile surface functionalization, controllable synthesis, etc. However, to expedite the clinical translation and the unexpected utilization of silicon-composed nanomedicine and biomaterials, it is highly desirable to achieve a thorough comprehension of their characteristics and biological effects from an overall perspective. In this review, we provide a comprehensive discussion on the state-of-the-art progress of silicon-composed biomaterials, including their classification, characteristics, fabrication methods, and versatile biomedical applications. Additionally, we highlight the multi-dimensional design of both pure and hybrid silicon-composed nanomedicine and biomaterials and their intrinsic biological effects and interactions with biological systems. Their extensive biomedical applications span from drug delivery and bioimaging to therapeutic interventions and regenerative medicine, showcasing the significance of their rational design and fabrication to meet specific requirements and optimize their theranostic performance. Additionally, we offer insights into the future prospects and potential challenges regarding silicon-composed nanomedicine and biomaterials. By shedding light on these exciting research advances, we aspire to foster further progress in the biomedical field and drive the development of innovative silicon-composed nanomedicine and biomaterials with transformative applications in biomedicine.

Single-Stage Microfluidic Synthesis Route for BaGdF 5:Tb 3+-Based Nanocomposite Materials: Synthesis, Characterization and Biodistribution. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17159. [PMID: 38138988 PMCID: PMC10742823 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242417159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Rare-earth-doped nanoscaled BaGdF5 is known as an efficient contrasting agent for X-ray micro-CT and NMR as well as a promising candidate for X-ray photodynamic therapy, thereby opening an opportunity for theragnostic applications. Conventional synthesis of Ln-doped BaGdF5 consider a long-lasting batch procedure, while a conjugation with photosensitizer usually implies a separate stage requiring active mixing. To the best of our knowledge, in this work, we for the first time obtain BaGdF5:Tb3+ nanophosphors in a microfluidic route at temperatures as low as 100 °C while decreasing the time of thermal treatment down to 6 min. The proposed synthesis route allows for the obtaining of single-phase and monodisperse BaGd1-xF5:Tbx3+ nanoparticles with an averaged particle size of ca. 7-9 nm and hydrodynamic radius around 22 nm, as estimated from TEM and DLS, respectively. In addition, X-ray-excited optical luminescence has been recorded in situ for the series of nanophosphors synthesis with varied flow rates of Tb3+ and Gd3+ stock solutions, thereby anticipating a possible application of microfluidics for screening a wide range of possible co-dopants and reaction conditions and its effect on the optical properties of the synthesized materials. Moreover, we demonstrated that BaGd1-xF5:Tbx3+@RoseBengal conjugates might be obtained in a single-stage route by implementing an additional mixer at the synthesis outcome, namely, by mixing the resulting reaction mixture containing nanoparticles with an equivalent flow of photosensitizer aqueous solution. In vitro cytotoxicity test declares moderate toxicity effect on different cell lines, while the results of flow cytometry indirectly confirm cellular uptake. Finally, we report long-term biodistribution monitoring of the synthesized nanocomposites assessed by X-ray micro-CT in the in vivo experiments on balb/c mice, which depicts an unusual character of agents' accumulation.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) drugs are widely used in clinic for cancer therapy, but their therapeutic outcomes are significantly compromised by severe side effects and acquired drug resistance. With the emerging immunotherapy and imaging-guided cancer therapy, precise delivery and release of Pt drugs have drawn great attention these days. The targeting delivery of Pt drugs can greatly increase the accumulation at tumor sites, which ultimately enhances antitumor efficacy. Further, with the combination of Pt drugs and other theranostic agents into one nanosystem, it not only possesses excellent synergistic efficacy but also achieves real-time monitoring. In this review, after the introduction of Pt drugs and their characteristics, the recent progress of polymeric nanosystems for efficient delivery of Pt drugs is summarized with an emphasis on multi-modal synergistic therapy and imaging-guided Pt-based cancer treatment. In the end, the conclusions and future perspectives of Pt-encapsulated nanosystems are given.

Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) imaging has become a fundamental tool in disease diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation, and surgical navigation applications. However, it remains a big challenge to engineer nanoprobes for high-efficiency in vivo imaging and clinical translation. Recent years have witnessed increasing research efforts devoted into engineering sub-10 nm ultrasmall nanoprobes for in vivo PL imaging, which offer the advantages of efficient body clearance, desired clinical translation potential, and high imaging signal-to-noise ratio. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary and contrastive discussion of emerging ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes towards in vivo PL bioimaging of diseases. We first summarize size-dependent nano-bio interactions and imaging features, illustrating the unique attributes and advantages/disadvantages of ultrasmall nanoprobes differentiating them from molecular and large-sized probes. We also discuss general design methodologies and PL properties of emerging ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes, which are established based on quantum dots, metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and silicon nanoparticles. Then, recent advances of ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes are highlighted by surveying their latest in vivo PL imaging applications. Finally, we discuss existing challenges in this exciting field and propose some strategies to improve in vivo PL bioimaging and further propel their clinical applications.

Abstract
Up-conversion (or anti-Stokes) luminescence refers to the phenomenon whereby materials emit high energy, short-wavelength light upon excitation at longer wavelengths. Lanthanide-doped up-conversion nanoparticles (Ln-UCNPs) are widely used in biomedicine due to their excellent physical and chemical properties such as high penetration depth, low damage threshold and light conversion ability. Here, the latest developments in the synthesis and application of Ln-UCNPs are reviewed. First, methods used to synthesize Ln-UCNPs are introduced, and four strategies for enhancing up-conversion luminescence are analyzed, followed by an overview of the applications in phototherapy, bioimaging and biosensing. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of Ln-UCNPs are summarized.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early diagnosis and effective therapeutic interventions are critical determinants that can improve survival and quality of life in breast cancer patients. Nanotheranostics are emerging interventions that offer the dual benefit of in vivo diagnosis and therapeutics through a single nano-sized carrier. Rare earth metal-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with their ability to convert near-infrared light to visible light or UV light in vivo settings have gained special attraction due to their unique luminescence and tumor-targeting properties. In this review, we have discussed applications of UCNPs in drug and gene delivery, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and tumor targeting in breast cancer. Further, present challenges and future opportunities for UCNPs in breast cancer treatment have also been mentioned.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) nanostructures, which can upconvert near-infrared (NIR) light with low energy to visible or UV light with higher energy, are investigated for theranostic applications. The surface of lanthanide (Ln)-doped UC nanostructures can be modified with different functional groups and bioconjugated with biomolecules for therapeutic systems. On the other hand, organic molecular-based UC nanostructures, by using the triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) UC mechanism, have high UC quantum yields and do not require high excitation power. In this review, the major UC mechanisms in different nanostructures have been introduced, including the Ln-doped UC mechanism and the TTA UC mechanism. The design and fabrication of Ln-doped UC nanostructures and TTA UC-based UC nanostructures for theranostic applications have been reviewed and discussed. In addition, the current progress in the application of UC nanostructures for diagnosis and therapy has been summarized, including tumor-targeted bioimaging and chemotherapy, image-guided diagnosis and phototherapy, NIR-triggered controlled drug releasing and bioimaging. We also provide insight into the development of emerging UC nanostructures in the field of theranostics.

Abstract
In this work, GdOF:RE3+ (RE = Eu, Yb, and Er) phosphors with high thermally stable luminescence were reported, which were synthesized by an ionic liquid-assisted two-phase system and subsequent calcination technique for the first time. Nanodisks, nanorod aggregates, nanoneedles, and stubby nanorods were obtained by simply regulating the pH value. The luminescent properties of precursors and products were discussed in detail. By carefully adjusting the calcination temperature and the pH value of the initial system, pure red emission was achieved in both GdOF:Eu3+ and GdOF:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors. The reason for distinct luminescent properties of different products was discussed from various perspectives. Moreover, the temperature-dependent spectra were measured and the GdOF:Eu3+ and GdOF:Yb3+, Er3+ products both exhibited outstanding thermal stability. In addition, the as-prepared nanomaterials presented paramagnetic properties, indicating their potential application in both field-emission displays and magnetic resonance imaging technology.

Abstract
It is crucial and clinically relevant to clarify the homing efficiency and retention of stem cells in different implanting strategies of cell therapy for various injuries. However, the need for a tool for investigating the mechanisms is still unmet. We herein introduce multi-modal BaGdF5:Yb,Tm nanoparticles as a nanoprobe to label adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and detect the homing behavior with a micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging technique. The migration of cells injected locally or intravenously, with or without a chemokine, CXCL 12, was compared. A higher homing efficiency of ADSCs was observed in both intravenously injected groups, in contrast to the low efficiency of cell retention in local implantation. Meanwhile, CXCL 12 promoted the homing of ADSCs, especially in the intravenous route. Nonetheless, the administration of CXCL 12 showed its therapeutic efficacy, whereas intravenous injection of ADSCs almost did not. Our work provided a tool for in vivo imaging of the behavior of implanted cells in preclinical studies of cell therapy, and more importantly, implied that the parameters for implanting stem cells in clinical operation should be carefully considered.

Abstract
X-ray photodynamic therapy (XPDT) has been recently considered as an efficient alternative to conventional radiotherapy of malignant tissues. Nanocomposites for XPDT typically consist of two components—a nanophosphor which re-emits X-rays into visible light that in turn is absorbed by the second component, a photosensitizer, for further generation of reactive oxygen species. In this study, BaGdF5 nanophosphors doped with different Eu:Gd ratios in the range from 0.01 to 0.50 were synthesized by the microwave route. According to transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the average size of nanophosphors was ~12 nm. Furthermore, different coatings with amorphous SiO2 and citrates were systematically studied. Micro-CT imaging demonstrated superior X-ray attenuation and sufficient contrast in the liver and the spleen after intravenous injection of citric acid-coated nanoparticles. In case of the SiO2 surface, post-treatment core–shell morphology was verified via TEM and the possibility of tunable shell size was reported. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis revealed mesoporous SiO2 formation characterized by the slit-shaped type of pores that should be accessible for methylene blue photosensitizer molecules. It was shown that SiO2 coating subsequently facilitates methylene blue conjugation and results in the formation of the BaGdF5: 10% Eu3+@SiO2@MB nanocomposite as a promising candidate for application in XPDT.

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
It is known that the initiation of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in deep-seated tumors requires the use of X-rays to activate the reactive oxygen species generation in deep tissues. The aim of this paper is to synthesize X-ray nanophosphors and analyze their structural and luminescence characteristics to push the PDT process deep into the body. The article deals with BaGdF5:Eu3+, BaGdF5:Sm3+, and BaGdF5:Tb3+ nanophosphors synthesized using microwave synthesis. It is found that the nanoparticles are biocompatible and have sizes 5-17 nm. However, according to the analysis of X-ray excited optical luminescence, BaGdF5:Sm3+ nanophosphors will not be effective for treating deep-seated tumors. Thus, BaGdF5:Eu3+ and BaGdF5:Tb3+ nanoparticles meet the requirements for the subsequent production of nanocomposites based on them that can be used in X-ray photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
With the excellent ability to transform near-infrared light to localized visible or UV light, thereby achieving deep tissue penetration, lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) have emerged as one of the most striking nanoscale materials for more effective and safer cancer treatment. Up to now, UCNPs combined with photosensitive components have been widely used in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs, photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy. Applications in these directions are reviewed in this article. We also highlight microenvironmental tumor monitoring and precise targeted therapies. Then we briefly summarize some new trends and the existing challenges for UCNPs. We hope this review can provide new ideas for future cancer treatment based on UCNPs.

Abstract
Precision engineering of defects in luminescent nanoscale crystalline materials with lesser controls to design is an area of interest in engineering materials with desired properties. Li+ co-doped BaYF5 nanocrystals were engineered, and temperature as controls for determining the co-dopant occupancies in the host lattice is studied. An observed enhancement in the up-conversion photoluminescence results from the co-dopant occupancy at Ba2+ sites via substitution through the hot injection method, whereas for samples prepared using co-precipitation, photoluminescence quenching was observed, which can be correlated with the Li+ occupancy at the interstitial site near Er3+ and also due to the incorporation of OH-. The crystal lattice deformation as a result of doping and the mechanism for the observed enhancement/quenching of luminescence are studied using x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy transfer mechanism. Cytotoxicity assay and photoluminescence studies of the synthesized nanocrystals confirm that the material is biocompatible.

Abstract
Activatable theranostics, integrating high diagnostic accuracy and significant therapeutic effect, holds great potential for personalized cancer treatments; however, their chemodynamic modality is rarely exploited. Herein, we report a new in situ activatable chemodynamic theranostics PAsc/Fe@Cy7QB to specifically recognize and eradicate cancer cells with H2O2-catalyzed hydroxyl radical (•OH) burst cascade. Methods: The nanomicelles PAsc/Fe@Cy7QB were constructed by self-assembly of acid-responsive copolymers incorporating ascorbates and acid-sensitive Schiff base-Fe2+ complexes as well as H2O2-responsive adjuvant Cy7QB. Results: Upon systematic delivery of PAsc/Fe@Cy7QB into cancer cells, the acidic microenvironment triggered disassembly of the nanomicelles. The released Fe2+ catalyzed the oxidation of ascorbate monoanion (AscH-) to efficiently produce H2O2. The released H2O2, together with the endogenous H2O2, could be converted into highly active •OH via the Fenton reaction, resulting in enhanced Fe-mediated T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The synchronously released Cy7QB was activated by H2O2 to produce a glutathione (GSH)-scavenger quinone methide to boost the •OH yield and recover the Cy7 dye for fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging. Conclusion: The biodegradable PAsc/Fe@Cy7QB designed for tumor-selective multimodal imaging and high therapeutic effect provides an exemplary paradigm for precise chemodynamic theranostic.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been widely employed for tumor imaging using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging. The short blood clearance time and immunogenicity of UCNPs have limited their further application in vivo. We have designed UCNPs camouflaged with an exterior red blood cell (RBC) membrane coating (RBC-UCNPs) to solve these problems. Moreover, because of some intrinsic disadvantages of MRI and UCL imaging, we investigated the use of pretargeted RBC-UCNPs for positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging to obtain more comprehensive information. Our data showed that RBC-UCNPs retained the immunity feature from the source cells and the superior optical and chemical features from the pristine UCNP cores. The tumor-targeting ability of RBC-UCNPs was enhanced by binding 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[folate(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG-FA) molecules onto the cell membranes. PET imaging with short half-life radionuclides to visualize the RBC-UCNPs was successfully realized by a combination of pre-targeting and in vivo click chemistry. Blood chemistry, hematology, and histologic analysis suggested good in vivo biocompatibility of the RBC-UCNPs. Our method provides a new potential biomedical application of biomimetic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising candidates for photon-driven reactions, including light-triggered drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, and photocatalysis. Herein, we investigate the NIR-to-UV/visible emission of sub-15 nm alkaline-earth rare-earth fluoride UCNPs (M1-x Lnx F2+x, MLnF) with a CaF2 shell. We synthesize 8 alkaline-earth host materials doped with Yb3+ and Tm3+ , with alkaline-earth (M) spanning Ca, Sr, and Ba, MgSr, CaSr, CaBa, SrBa, and CaSrBa. We explore UCNP composition, size, and lanthanide doping-dependent emission, focusing on upconversion quantum yield (UCQY) and UV emission. UCQY values of 2.46 % at 250 W cm-2 are achieved with 14.5 nm SrLuF@CaF2 particles, with 7.3 % of total emission in the UV. In 10.9 nm SrYbF:1 %Tm3+ @CaF2 particles, UV emission increased to 9.9 % with UCQY at 1.14 %. We demonstrate dye degradation under NIR illumination using SrYbF:1 %Tm3+ @CaF2 , highlighting the efficiency of these UCNPs and their ability to trigger photoprocesses.

Abstract
Molecular imaging has gained utmost importance in the recent past in early diagnosis of diseases. In comparison to other imaging modalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven to extend its abilities not only for its usage of non-ionizing radiation but also for the high spatial resolution in soft tissues. A major limitation faced by MRI is the sensitivity in detecting diseased conditions until a certain stage. At present, this limitation is overcome with the use of contrast agents that show potential in altering the T1 and T2 relaxation times of the hydrogen protons. This modulation to the relaxation times leads to better contrast differences based on the type of contrast agent and the pulse sequence being engaged for acquiring images. Water molecules, as the major contributor of hydrogen protons, are proven to interact with such contrast agents. Major drawbacks noted with the marketed MRI contrast agents are their toxicity and renal clearance. To conquer these issues, magnetic nanomaterials are being researched for their abilities to match the contrast enhancement offered by traditional agents reducing their drawbacks. Furthermore, comparative diagnosis with both T1 and T2 contrast at the same time has also interested investigators. To achieve this, twin mode T1 and T2 weighted contrast agents are developed utilizing the remarkable properties extended by magnetic nanoplatforms. As a step forward, multimodal imaging agents are also being engineered based on these magnetic nanoplatforms that will generate cross-verified diagnoses using multiple imaging modalities with a unique imaging agent. This review starts by introducing the basics of MRI with major focus on the typical interactions of water molecules with a variety of magnetic nanomaterials. The review also concentrates on the clinical needs and nanomaterials available for twin T1 and T2 contrast with a minor introduction to multimodal imaging agents. In conclusion, the advent of MRI with the advantages offered by magnetic nanomaterials is summarized, leading to insights for future developments.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are new-generation photoluminescent nanomaterials gaining considerable recognition in the life sciences due to their unique optical properties that allow high-contrast imaging in cells and tissues. Upconversion nanoparticle applications in optical diagnosis, bioassays, therapeutics, photodynamic therapy, drug delivery, and light-controlled release of drugs are promising, demanding a comprehensive systematic study of their pharmacological properties. We report on production of biofunctional UCNP-based nanocomplexes suitable for optical microscopy and imaging of HER2-positive cells and tumors, as well as on the comprehensive evaluation of their pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicological properties using cells and laboratory animals. The nanocomplexes represent a UCNP core/shell structure of the NaYF4:Yb, Er, Tm/NaYF4 composition coated with an amphiphilic alternating copolymer of maleic anhydride with 1-octadecene (PMAO) and conjugated to the Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein (DARPin 9_29) with high affinity to the HER2 receptor. We demonstrated the specific binding of UCNP-PMAO-DARPin to HER2-positive cancer cells in cultures and xenograft animal models allowing the tumor visualization for at least 24 h. An exhaustive study of the general and specific toxicity of UCNP-PMAO-DARPin including the evaluation of their allergenic, immunotoxic, and reprotoxic properties was carried out. The obtained experimental body of evidence leads to a conclusion that UCNP-PMAO and UCNP-PMAO-DARPin are functional, noncytotoxic, biocompatible, and safe for imaging applications in cells, small animals, and prospective clinical applications of image-guided surgery.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging is characterized by high spatial resolution and unsurpassed soft tissue discrimination. Development and characterization of both intrinsic and extrinsic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging probes in the last decade has further strengthened the pivotal role MR imaging holds in the assessment of cancer in preclinical and translational settings. Sophisticated chemical modifications of a variety of nanoparticulate probes hold the potential to deliver valuable multifunctional tools applicable in diagnostics and/or treatment in human oncology. MR imaging suffers from a lack of sensitivity achievable by, e.g., nuclear medicine imaging methods. Advantages of including additional functionality/functionalities in a probe suitable for MR imaging are thus numerous, comprising the addition of fundamentally different imaging information (diagnostics), drug delivery (therapy), or the combination of both (theranostics). In recent years, we have witnessed a plethora of preclinical multimodal or multifunctional imaging probes being published mainly as proof-of-principle studies, yet only a handful are readily applicable in clinical settings. This chapter summarizes recent innovations in the development of multifunctional MR imaging probes and discusses the suitability of these probes for clinical transfer.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is a medical application of biochemistry incorporated with materials chemistry at the scale of nanometer for the purpose of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. New models and approaches are typically associated with nanomedicine for precise multifunctional diagnostic systems at molecular level. Hence, employing nanoparticles (NPs) has unveiled new opportunities for efficient therapies and remedy of difficult-to-cure diseases. Among all types of inorganic NPs, lanthanide-doped up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have shown excellent potential for biomedical applications, especially for multimodal bioimaging including fluorescence and electron microscopy. Association of these visualization techniques plus the capability for transporting biomaterials and drugs make them superior agents in the field of nanomedicine. Accordingly, in this review, we firstly presented a fundamental understanding of physical and optical properties of UCNPs and secondly, we illustrated some of the prominent associations with bioimaging, theranostics, cancer therapy, and optogenetics.

Abstract
Erythrocytes (red blood cells, RBCs) are the most abundant circulating cells in the blood and have been widely used in drug delivery systems (DDS) because of their features of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and long circulating half-life. Accordingly, a "camouflage" comprised of erythrocyte membranes renders nanoparticles as a platform that combines the advantages of native erythrocyte membranes with those of nanomaterials. Following injection into the blood of animal models, the coated nanoparticles imitate RBCs and interact with the surroundings to achieve long-term circulation. In this review, the biomimetic platform of erythrocyte membrane-coated nano-cores is described with regard to various aspects, with particular focus placed on the coating mechanism, preparation methods, verification methods, and the latest anti-tumor applications. Finally, further functional modifications of the erythrocyte membranes and attempts to fuse the surface properties of multiple cell membranes are discussed, providing a foundation to stimulate extensive research into multifunctional nano-biomimetic systems.

Abstract
Fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) utilized for imaging hold great promise for biomedical applications, but it remains a challenging task. Here, we report novel dual-modality NPs using an aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active and near-infrared (NIR) emissive dye (TPAS) and magnetic Fe3O4 as the core, and biocompatible polymer Pluronic F-127 as the encapsulation matrix by self-assembly procedures. The obtained fluorescent-magnetic AIE NPs have both high fluorescence quantum yield (13.8%) at 700 nm and high magnetic saturation value. With good photostability and biocompatibility, the resulting NPs show effective MRI ability, but also a stain in cytoplasm with a strong NIR fluorescent signal.

Abstract
Pure cubic phase and uniform BiF3:Ln3+ (Ln = Ho, Er, Tm)/Yb3+ nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by coprecipitation. The growth mechanism of BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ NPs was proposed based on evolution analysis of the time-dependent morphology, in which BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ was formed through the growth process of “nucleation to crystallization and Ostwald ripening”. The upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties and mechanism of BiF3:Ln3+ (Ln = Ho, Er, Tm)/Yb3+ under dual-wavelength excitation were also systematically investigated. The emission intensity of BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ by dual-wavelength excitation (λ = 980 nm + 1550 nm) was 1.49 times more than that excited by 1550 nm or 980 nm individually. Furthermore, the properties of the bright white and multicolor UCL showed that yellow, purple, green, or pinkish light could be observed by controlling the doping concentration of Ln3+ (Ln = Yb, Er, Tm, and Ho), indicating that they had potential applications in backlight sources of color displays and security labeling. The temperature sensitivity of BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ exhibited a downward tendency and its max value was about 0.0036 K−1 at 273 K. Cell toxicity tests showed that the UCNPs in phospholipid aqueous solution presented low cytotoxicity. Also, in vivo imaging and X-ray imaging revealed that the BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ NPs had deep penetration and high contrast, which meant it could be used as a potential probe and contrast agent in in vivo optical bioimaging. Multifunctional BiF3:Ln3+(Ln = Ho, Er, Tm)/Yb3+ UCLNPs presented better performances in dual-wavelength synergy, thermosensitivity, emission color tuning, and bioimaging.![]()

Abstract
Here we report a novel drug delivery system using mesoporous inner-empty upconversion microspheres carrying drugs with ZnO quantum dots (UCMPS@ZnO) acting as a 'door-keeper' for pH-triggered drug release. Compared to other upconversion drug delivery systems, it is smarter, simpler, more efficient and more biocompatible. In particular, the UCMPS@ZnO microspheres show low cytotoxicity, are simple to produce and have a high drug loading rate (15%). Promisingly, a mice treatment experiment demonstrated that the multifunctional nanoparticles have efficient inhibition of tumor growth after a 14-day treatment. This makes UCMPS@DOX-ZnO microspheres a promising theranostic candidate in cancer treatment and clinical trials.

Abstract
Achieving efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) in deeper biological tissue is still the biggest bottleneck that limits its widespread application in clinic. Although deeper biological tissue PDT could be realized through a combination of upconversion nanoparticles with a photosensitizer, issues with particle-size-induced upconversion fluorescence (UF) reduction and the related in vivo toxicity still cannot be solved properly. In this study, we synthesized Y1Rs-ligand [Pro30, Nle31, Bpa32, Leu34]NPY(28-36) (NPY)-modified and photosensitizer MC540-loaded LiLuF4:Yb,Er@nLiGdF4@mSiO2 multifunctional nanocomposites (MNPs) with a core-multishell structure and ultrasmall size. Their in vitro and in vivo breast tumor targeting, trimodality imaging performance, PDT therapeutic efficacy, and acute toxicity were evaluated. Our results demonstrated that the core-multishell MNPs(MC540) could achieve excellent UF imaging, and that doping with Gd3+ and Lu3+ rare earth ions could enhance the MR and CT imaging performance. In addition, the mSiO2 shell provided a higher loading rate for the photosensitizer MC540, and the DSPE-PEG thin layer coating outside the MNPs(MC540) further improved the water solubility and biocompatibility, reducing the acute toxicity of the nanocomposites. Finally, the NPY modification enhanced the targetability of MNPs(MC540)/DSPE-PEG-NPY to breast tumors, improving the trimodality UF, CT, and MR imaging performance and PDT efficacy for Y1-receptor-overexpressed breast cancer. In general, our developed multifunctional nanocomposites can serve as a theranostic agent with low toxicity, providing great potential for their use in clinical breast cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Nanomedicines have been demonstrated to have passive or active tumor targeting behaviors, which are promising for cancer chemotherapy. However, most nanomedicines still suffer from a suboptimal targeting effect and drug leakage, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment outcome. Herein, a hierarchical responsive nanomedicine (HRNM) is developed for programmed delivery of chemotherapeutics. The HRNMs are prepared via the self-assembly of cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide conjugated triblock copolymer, poly(2-(hexamethyleneimino)ethyl methacrylate)-poly(oligo-(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate)-poly[reduction-responsive camptothecin] (PC7A-POEG-PssCPT). In blood circulation, the RGD peptides are shielded by the POEG coating; therefore, the nanosized HRNMs can achieve effective tumor accumulation through passive targeting. Once the HRNMs reach a tumor site, due to the hydrophobic-tohydrophilic conversion of PC7A chains induced by the acidic tumor microenvironment, the RGD peptides will be exposed for enhanced tumor retention and cellular internalization. Moreover, in response to the glutathione inside cells, active CPT drugs will be released rapidly for chemotherapy. The in vitro and in vivo results confirm effective tumor targeting, potent antitumor effect, and reduced systemic toxicity of the HRNMs. This HRNM is promising for enhanced chemotherapeutic delivery.

Abstract
Multimodality imaging-guided therapy based on lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) has become a trend in cancer theranostics. However, the overheating effect of 980 nm excitation in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the difficulties in optimizing multimodality imaging integration within a single particle are still challenges. Herein, 800 nm driven NaErF4@NaLuF4 UCNPs have been explored for optimized multimodality imaging and near-infrared (NIR) triggered PDT. Our results confirmed that the optimal ∼5 nm shell thickness can well balance the enhancement of upconversion luminescence and the attenuation of energy transfer efficiency from Er3+ towards a photosensitizer, to achieve efficient production of singlet oxygen (1O2) for PDT under 800 nm excitation. Furthermore, the as-obtained NaErF4@NaLuF4 UCNPs showed effective and applicable performance for upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging, X-ray computed tomography (CT), and high-field T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This nanomaterial can serve as an excellent theranostic agent for multimodality imaging and image-guided therapy.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of rare earth upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based nanomedical platforms have evoked increasing interest. However, their bio-safety is always the most worrisome problem. Most nanoparticles can accumulate in the internal organs, leading to acute toxicity, a long-term inflammatory response, or even fibrosis and cancer. In contrast, ultrasmall (sub-10 nm) nanoparticles have minimal safety risk because they can escape from macrophages, pass biological barriers, and be easily degraded or excreted from the body. In this review, we mainly introduce new progress in preparation strategies, imaging and drug delivery with regards to ultrasmall UCNPs, with an emphasis on rare earth fluorides, NaREF4. Finally, we discuss the future outlook and challenges relating to ultrasmall UCNPs.

Abstract
A novel K0.3Bi0.7F2.4 upconversion (UC) matrix has been prepared successfully by a solvothermal method. K0.3Bi0.7F2.4:Yb3+/Ln3+ (Ln = Er, Ho, Tm) upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) show a corresponding excellent upconversion luminescence (UCL) under 980 nm laser irradiation. Especially, the strong near-infrared (NIR) UCL of K0.3Bi0.7F2.4:20% Yb3+/0.5% Tm3+ (abbreviated as BYT) UCNPs is suitable for deep tissue optical imaging. Moreover, the high X-ray absorption coefficient of Bi makes the as-prepared UCNPs favorable for computed tomography (CT) imaging. The citrate-coated BYT UCNPs show good biocompatibility through the MTT assay towards HeLa cells and low hemolytic properties by hemolysis assay, which could be applied for in vivo optical and CT imaging. After intravenous injection of citrate-coated BYT UCNPs for one month, blood biochemistry and histology analysis of mice suggest the UCNPs have a negligible toxicity in vivo, implying citrate-coated BYT could be employed as a safe bioprobe for NIR optical and CT dual-modal imaging.

Abstract
There is a great demand to develop high-relaxivity nanoscale contrast agents for magnetic resonance (MR) angiography with high resolution. However, there should be more focus on stability, ion leakage and excretion pathway of the intravenously injected nanoparticles, which are closely related to their clinic potentials. Herein, uniform ultrasmall-sized NaGdF4 nanocrystal (sub-10 nm) was synthesized using a facile high temperature organic solution method, and the nanocrystals were modified by a ligand-exchange approach using PEG-PAA di-block copolymer. The PEG-PAA modified NaGdF4 nanocrystal (denoted as ppNaGdF4 nanocrystal) exhibited a high r1 relaxivity which was twice of commercially used gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) injection. MR angiography on rabbit using ppNaGdF4 nanocrystal at a low dose showed enhanced vascular details and long circulation time. Lyophilized powder of ppNaGdF4 nanocrystals have been successfully prepared without aggregation or reduction of MR performance, indicating the stability and an effective way to store this nanoscale contrast agent. No haemolysis was induced by ppNaGdF4 nanocrystal, and an extremely low leakage of gadolinium ions was confirmed. Furthermore, efficient renal excretion was one of the clearance pathways of ppNaGdF4 nanocrystal according to both the time dependent distribution data in blood and tissues and MR images. The in vivo toxicity evaluation further validated the great potential as a clinical agent for blood pool imaging.

Abstract
A multifunctional cancer therapy nanocomposite was proposed and synthesized by linking the pH-responsive SH-PEG-DOX prodrug onto gold nanocrystals that were grown in situ on the surface of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). In the structure of the SH-PEG-DOX prodrug, a hydrazone bond was utilized for subsequent pH-responsive drug release in the intracellular acidic microenvironment of cancer cells. This innovative assembly method is facile and mild, and can be used to obtain nanocomposites of UCNPs and gold, which show excellent photostability and biocompatibility. The final UCNPs@Au-DOX nanocomposites offer efficient treatment effects in vitro under irradiation with an 808 nm laser due to the synergistic effect of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. In addition, the UCNPs@Au-DOX nanocomposites show excellent intracellular locating ability via upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging with Er3+ ions and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Gd3+ ions, indicating that they have potential as a visual tracking agent in cancer treatment. Therefore, the presented bioimaging-guided multifunctional synergistic therapy nanocomposites are promising tools for imaging-guided cancer therapy.
