Abstract
In an attempt to optimize the upconversion luminescence (UCL) output of a Nd3+-sensitized near-infrared (808 nm) upconverting core-shell (CS) nanocrystal through deliberate incorporation of lattice defects, a comprehensive analysis of microstrain both at the CS interface and within the core layer was performed using integral breadth calculation of high-energy synchrotron X-ray (λ = 0.568551 Å) diffraction. An atomic level interpretation of such microstrain was performed using pair distribution function analysis of the high-energy total scattering. The core NC developed compressive microstrain, which gradually transformed into tensile microstrain with the growth of the epitaxial shell. Such a reversal was rationalized in terms of a consistent negative lattice mismatch. Upon introduction of lattice defects into the CS systems upon incorporation of Li+, the corresponding UCL intensity was maximized at some specific Li+ incorporation, where the tensile microstrain of CS, compressive microstrain of the core, and atomic level disorders exhibited their respective extreme values irrespective of the activator ions.

Abstract
Aims: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in both high- and low-resource settings. Conventional breast cancer therapies were inefficient and had low patient compliance. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels possessing similar physicochemical features as soft tissue facilitate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for breast cancer subtypes. Scope: Polysaccharides and polypeptides are major natural polymers with unique biocompatibility, biodegradability, and feasible modification approaches utilized frequently for hydrogel fabrication. Alternating the natural polymer-based hydrogel properties in response to external stimuli such as pH, temperature, light, ultrasonic, enzyme, glucose, magnetic, redox, and electric have provided great potential for the evolution of novel drug delivery systems (DDSs) and various advanced technologies in medical applications. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels are triggered by specific cancer tissue features, promote target delivery techniques, and modify release therapeutic agents at localized sites. This narrative review presented innovation in preparing and characterizing the most common stimuli-responsive natural polymer-based hydrogels for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in the breast cancer area. Conclusion: Stimuli-responsive hydrogels display bioinspiration products as DDSs for breast cancer subtypes, protect the shape of breast tissue, provide modified drug release, enhance therapeutic efficacy, and minimize chemotherapy agents' side effects. The potential benefits of smart natural polymer-based hydrogels make them an exciting area of practice for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Molecular Engineering Design of Enhanced Donor-Acceptor Therapeutic Reagent for Efficient Image-Guided Photodynamic Therapy. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2301035. [PMID: 37450348 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202301035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
The greatest barrier to the further development and clinical application of tumor image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT), is the inconsistency between the fluorescence intensity and singlet oxygen generation yield of the photosensitizer under light excitation. Herein, a novel donor-acceptor (D-A) system is designed from the point of molecular selection by wrapping a classical porphyrin molecule (5,10,15,20-tetraphenylphorphyrin, H2 TPP) as an acceptor into conjugated polymer (Poly[N,N'-bis(4-butylpheny)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine], ADS254BE) as a donor through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, which exhibits bright red emission centered at 650 nm (quantum yield, 0.12), relatively large Stoke shift of 276 nm, enhanced singlet oxygen generation rate of 0.73, and excellent photostability. The investigations on distribution and killing effect of nanomaterials in cancer cells reveal that ADS254BE/H2 TPP NPs can accumulate in the cytoplasm for imaging while simultaneously producing a large amount of singlet oxygen to remarkably kill cancer cells, which can be used for real-time image-guided PDT. In the xenograft tumor model, real-time imaging and long-term tracing in tumor tissue with ADS254BE/H2 TPP NPs disclose that the growth of lung cancer in mice can be effectively inhibited during in situ imaging. From the standpoint of molecular engineering design, this work provides a feasible strategy for novel D-A systems to improve the development of image-guided PDT.

Abstract
The controlled intracellular release of nitrite is still an unmet challenge due to the lack of bio-friendly donors, and the antitumor effect of nitrite is limited by its physiologically inert activity. Herein, we designed benzothiadiazole-based organic nitrite donors that are stable against bio-relevant species but selectively respond to dithiol species through SN Ar/intramolecular cyclization tandem reactions in the aqueous media. The bioorthogonal system was established to target the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of liver cancer HepG2 cells. The nitrite and nonivamide were coupled to induce elevation of intracellular levels of calcium ions as well as reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, which resulted in ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. We demonstrated that a combination of photoactivation and "click to release" strategy could enhance antitumor effect in cellular level and show good potential for cancer precision therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed type of cancer, with 2.26 million cases and 685,000 deaths recorded in 2020. If left untreated, this deadly disease can metastasize to distant organs, which is the reason behind its incurability and related deaths. Currently, conventional therapies are used to treat breast cancer, but they have numerous shortcomings such as low bioavailability, short circulation time, and off-target toxicity. To address these challenges, nanomedicines are preferred and are being extensively investigated for breast cancer treatment. Nanomedicines are novel drug delivery systems that can improve drug stability, aqueous solubility, blood circulation time, controlled release, and targeted delivery at the tumoral site and enhance therapeutic safety and effectiveness. Nanoparticles (NPs) can be administered through different routes. Although the injectable route is less preferred than the oral route for drug administration, it has its advantages: it helps tailor drugs with targeted moiety, boosts payload, avoids first-pass metabolism, and improves the pharmacokinetic parameters of the active pharmaceutical ingredients. Targeted delivery of nanomedicine, closer to organelles such as the mitochondria and nuclei in breast cancer, reduces the dosage requirements and the toxic effects of chemotherapeutics. This review aims to provide the current status of the recent advances in various injectable nanomedicines for targeted treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Nanoparticles offer numerous advantages in various fields of science, particularly in medicine. Over recent years, the use of nanoparticles in disease diagnosis and treatments has increased dramatically by the development of stimuli-responsive nano-systems, which can respond to internal or external stimuli. In the last 10 years, many preclinical studies were performed on physically triggered nano-systems to develop and optimize stable, precise, and selective therapeutic or diagnostic agents. In this regard, the systems must meet the requirements of efficacy, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and safety before clinical investigation. Several undesired aspects need to be addressed to successfully translate these physical stimuli-responsive nano-systems, as biomaterials, into clinical practice. These have to be commonly taken into account when developing physically triggered systems; thus, also applicable for nano-systems based on nanomaterials. This review focuses on physically triggered nano-systems (PTNSs), with diagnostic or therapeutic and theranostic applications. Several types of physically triggered nano-systems based on polymeric micelles and hydrogels, mesoporous silica, and magnets are reviewed and discussed in various aspects.

Abstract
Materials that generate pure, single-color emission are desirable in the development and manufacturing of modern optoelectronic devices. This work shows the possibility of generating pure, green up-conversion luminescence upon the excitation of Er3+-doped nanomaterials with a 785 nm NIR laser. The up-converting inorganic nanoluminophores YVO4: Er3+ and YVO4: Yb3+ and Er3+ were obtained using a hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination. The synthesized vanadate nanomaterials had a tetragonal structure and crystallized in the form of nearly spherical nanoparticles. Up-conversion emission spectra of the nanomaterials were measured using laser light sources with λex = 785 and 975 nm. Importantly, under the influence of the mentioned laser irradiation, the as-prepared samples exhibited bright green up-conversion luminescence that was visible to the naked eye. Depending on the dopant ions used and the selected excitation wavelengths, two (green) or three (green and red) bands originating from erbium ions appeared in the emission spectra. In this way, by changing the UC mechanisms, pure green luminescence of the material can be obtained. The proposed strategy, in combination with various single-doped UC nanomaterials activated with Er3+, might be beneficial for modern optoelectronics, such as light-emitting diodes with a rich color gamut for back-light display applications.

Abstract
Photoactivated therapeutic strategies (photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy), due to the adjusted therapeutic area, time and light dosage, have prevailed for the fight against tumors. Currently, the monotherapy with limited treatment effect and undesired side effects is gradually replaced by multimodal and multifunctional nanosystems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with unique physicochemical advantages, such as huge specific surface area, controllable pore size and morphology, functionalized modification, satisfying biocompatibility and biodegradability, are considered as promising candidates for multimodal photoactivated cancer therapy. Excitingly, the innovative nanoplatforms based on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles provide more and more effective treatment strategies and display excellent antitumor potential. Given the rapid development of antitumor strategies based on MSNs, this review summarizes the current progress in MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy, mainly consists of (1) photothermal therapy-related theranostics; (2) photodynamic therapy-related theranostics; (3) multimodal synergistic therapy, such as chemo-photothermal-photodynamic therapy, phototherapy-immunotherapy and phototherapy-radio therapy. Based on the limited penetration of irradiation light in photoactivated therapy, the challenges faced by deep-seated tumor therapy are fully discussed, and future clinical translation of MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Although photothermal therapy (PTT) with the assistance of nanotechnology has been considered as an indispensable strategy in the biomedical field, it still encounters some severe problems that need to be solved. Excessive heat can induce treated cells to develop thermal resistance, and thus, the efficacy of PTT may be dramatically decreased. In the meantime, the uncontrollable diffusion of heat can pose a threat to the surrounding healthy tissues. Recently, low-temperature PTT (also known as mild PTT or mild-temperature PTT) has demonstrated its remarkable capacity of conquering these obstacles and has shown excellent performance in bacterial elimination, wound healing, and cancer treatments. Herein, we summarize the recently proposed strategies for achieving low-temperature PTT based on nanomaterials and introduce the synthesis, characteristics, and applications of these nanoplatforms. Additionally, the combination of PTT and other therapeutic modalities for defeating cancers and the synergistic cancer therapeutic effect of the combined treatments are discussed. Finally, the current limitations and future directions are proposed for inspiring more researchers to make contributions to promoting low-temperature PTT toward more successful preclinical and clinical disease treatments.

Abstract
Specific cellular uptake and sufficient drug release in tumor tissues are important for effective cancer therapy. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a skeleton material, could specifically bind to cluster determinant 44 (CD44) receptors highly expressed on the surface of tumor cells to realize active targeting. Cystamine (cys) is sensitive highly reductive environment inside tumor cells and was used as a connecting arm to connect docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) to the HA skeleton to obtain redox-sensitive polymer HA-cys-DHA/Ce6 (CHD). Nanoparticles were fabricated and loaded with chemotherapeutic drug docetaxel (DTX) by physical encapsulation. The prepared nanoparticles had significantly increased uptake by MCF-7 cells that overexpressed CD44 receptors, and DTX was effectively released at high reducing condition. Compared with mono-photodynamic therapy (PDT) or mono-chemotherapy, the prepared nanoparticles exhibited superior anti-tumor effect by inhibiting microtubule depolymerization, blocking cell cycle and generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). In vivo anti-tumor experiments proved that DTX/CHD nanoparticles had the best antitumor response versus DTX and CHD nanoparticles under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. These studies revealed that redox-responsive DTX-loaded CHD nanoparticles held great potential for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Bacterial infection especially caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria still endangers human life. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can effectively kill bacteria, and nanofiber-based PDT can effectively reduce damage to normal tissues. However, current photosensitizers coated on the surfaces of fibers would release to the wound, causing some side effects. And nanofibers prepared by traditional method exhibit poor adhesion on the wound, which severely reduces the PDT effect due to its short-range effect. Herein, core-shell curcumin composite nanofibers are prepared by in situ electrospinning method via a self-made portable electrospinning device. The obtained composite nanofibers show superior adhesiveness on different biological surface than that of traditional preparation method. Upon 808-nm irradiation, these composite nanofibers effectively produced singlet oxygen (1O2) without curcumin falling off. After these composite nanofibers' exposure to drug-resistant bacteria, they exhibit dual antibacterial behaviors and efficiently kill the drug-resistant bacteria. These dual antibacterial nanofiber membranes with excellent adhesiveness may benefit the application of wound infection as antibacterial dressing.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative modality to conventional cancer treatment, whereby a specific wavelength of light is applied to a targeted tumor, which has either a photosensitizer or photochemotherapeutic agent localized within it. This light activates the photosensitizer in the presence of molecular oxygen to produce phototoxic species, which in turn obliterate cancer cells. The incidence rate of breast cancer (BC) is regularly growing among women, which are currently being treated with methods, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. These conventional treatment methods are invasive and often produce unwanted side effects, whereas PDT is more specific and localized method of cancer treatment. The utilization of nanoparticles in PDT has shown great advantages compared to free photosensitizers in terms of solubility, early degradation, and biodistribution, as well as far more effective intercellular penetration and uptake in targeted cancer cells. This review gives an overview of the use of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), including: gold, magnetic, carbon-based, ceramic, and up-conversion NPs, as well as quantum dots in PDT over the last 10 years (2009 to 2019), with a particular focus on the active targeting strategies for the PDT treatment of BC.

Abstract
Tailoring personalized cancer nanomedicines demands detailed understanding of the tumor microenvironment. In recent years, smart upconversion nanoparticles with the ability to exploit the unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment for precise targeting have been designed. To activate upconversion nanoparticles, various bio-physicochemical characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, namely, acidic pH, redox reactants, and hypoxia, are exploited. Stimuli-responsive upconversion nanoparticles also utilize the excessive presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), riboflavin, and Zn2+ in tumors. An overview of the design of stimulus-responsive upconversion nanoparticles that precisely target and respond to tumors via targeting the tumor microenvironment and intracellular signals is provided. Detailed understanding of the tumor microenvironment and the personalized design of upconversion nanoparticles will result in more effective clinical translation.

Abstract
In the past few decades, upconversion nanoparticles (abbreviated as UCNPs) have been more widely applied in the biomedical fields, such as in vitro and in vivo upconversion fluorescent bioimaging, photodynamic therapy, biological macromolecular detection, imaging mediated drug delivery and so on. But meanwhile, there is still not much research on the acute toxicity of upconversion nanoparticles in vivo, such as acute hepatotoxicity. In this work, we studied the in vivo biodistribution and acute hepatotoxicity of multimodal targeted contrast agent NaLuF4:Gd,Yb,Er-PEG/PEI-FA nanoprobe, which were synthesized by the solvothermal method and modified with Polyethylene glycol (PEG), Polyetherimide (PEI), folic acid (FA) on the surface. The acute hepatotoxicity in mice was systematically assessed after tail vein injection of different concentration of UCNPs. The results showed that NaLuF4:Gd,Yb,Er-PEG/PEI-FA nanoparticles with an average diameter of 44.5 ± 10.4 nm, and three typical upconversion fluorescence emission bands at 520 nm, 540 nm and 660 nm under the excitation of 980 nm laser. In vivo distribution experiments results demonstrated that approximately 87% of UCNPs injected through the tail vein accumulate in the liver. In the acute hepatotoxicity test, the intravenously injection dose of UCNPs was 10, 40, 70 and 100 mg/kg, respectively. The body weight, blood routine, serum biochemistry, histomorphology and liver oxidative stress were detected and observed no significant acute hepatotoxicity damage under the injection dose of 100 mg/kg. In conclusion, NaLuF4:Gd,Yb,Er-PEG/PEI-FA nanoprobes are safe and reliable, and have potential applications in the field of tumor targeted multimodal imaging.

Abstract
Exploring novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active materials with high detection sensitivity, excellent biocompatibility, low biotoxicity, and good spectral stability is urgently required for efficacious cancer cell diagnosis. Herein, black TiO2 nanoparticles (B-TiO2 NPs) with crystal-amorphous core-shell structure are successfully developed. Remarkable SERS activity is derived from the synergistic effect of the promising crystal-amorphous core-shell structure. Abundant excitons can be generated by high-efficiency exciton transitions in the crystal core, a feature that provides sufficient charge source. Significantly, the novel crystal-amorphous heterojunction enables the efficient exciton separation at the crystal-amorphous interface, which can effectively facilitate charge transfer from the crystal core to the amorphous shell and results in exciton enrichment at the amorphous shell. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) confirms the Fermi level of the amorphous layer shifting to a relatively low position compared to that of the crystal core, allowing efficient photoinduced charge transfer (PICT) between the amorphous shell and probe molecules. The first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations further indicate that the amorphous shell structure possesses a narrow band gap and a relatively high electronic density of state (DOS), which can effectively promote vibration coupling with target molecules. Moreover, MCF-7 drug-resistant (MCF-7/ADR) breast cancer cells can be quickly and accurately diagnosed based on the high-sensitivity B-TiO2-based SERS bioprobe. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the crystal-amorphous core-shell heterojunction enhancement of the TiO2-molecule PICT process, which widens the application of semiconductor-based SERS platforms in precision diagnosis and treatment of cancer, has been investigated.

Abstract
Although plentiful advanced fluorescence sensors have achieved to analyze microRNAs (miRNAs) in living cells, the prerequisite relating to nucleic acids specific recognition based sensing principle compels them lack favorable accurancy and stability in such complicated biological mediums. Here, we make a double breakthrough for the two challenges by combining a near-infrared (NIR) light powering process with a DNA tetrahedron (DNAT)-based protection concept. In this sensing system, a special nanomachine is first engineered by conjugating a core-shell-structured upconversion nanoparticle capable of highly converting 808 nm NIR photons into ultraviolet ones with self-assembling DNATs. The newly developed nanostructure not only prevents the sensing pathway from triggering during the intracellular delivery as well as reducing the adverse thermal effect for cell viability but also significantly enhances the enzyme resistance to avoid degradation to produce false signals. Furthermore, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer sensing strategy is rationally designed on this nanomachine. Upon using the powering light to excite the upconversion luminescence to activate the nanomachine in living cells, it can stably trace the precise level changes of miRNA-21 sequences at the reaching position with an "off-on" mode of fluorescence outputs.

Abstract
Black titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have attracted great attention due to their application in photothermal therapy (PTT). However, single-mode phototherapy has the risk of recurrence, and the high-dose laser usually imposed to improve the PTT performance can bring a potential threat to security. Here, polydopamine (PDA)-coated black TiO2 (b-P25@PDA) nanoparticles with a core-shell structure were synthesized for enhanced PTT; then, synergistic phototherapy nanoprobes (b-P25@PDA-Ce6 (Mn)) were constructed by coupling chlorin e6 (Ce6) and chelating Mn2+ for simultaneous photodynamic therapy (PDT)/PTT and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, in which a low-dose laser was used and imaging-guided phototherapy with high efficiency and high safety was achieved. The prepared nanoprobes showed high photothermal conversion efficiency (32.12%), high reactive oxygen generation and excellent MR imaging. In the 4T1 tumor-bearing nude mouse model, the tumors completely disappeared under the combination of PDT/PTT with a low-dose laser but were only partially inhibited by single PDT and single PTT. The current work developed a multifunctional black TiO2-based nanoprobe for enhanced synergistic PDT/PTT and MR imaging, which will be important for the safe and efficient visualized theranostics of cancers.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has attracted great attention because it can effectively inhibit the proliferation and propagation of cancer cells. Recently, heterojunction nanomaterials have shown tremendous application value in the field of biological medicine. In this work, the CeVO4/Au heterojunction nanocrystals (NCs) are designed for photothermal/photoacoustic bimodal imaging-guided phototherapy. The as-synthesized hydrophobic oleic acid (OA)-stabilized CeVO4 nanosheets were modified with HS-PEG-OH for translating into hydrophilic ones, which can significantly improve their stability and biocompatibility. Subsequently, the plasmonic Au nanoparticles were in situ successfully deposited on the surface of HS-PEG-coated CeVO4 to form CeVO4/Au heterojunction NCs for improving the visible and near-infrared light absorption, which results in enhanced photothermal conversion performance and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity. Thus, the CeVO4/Au can cause more severe damage to cancer cells than pure CeVO4 under NIR laser irradiation. Also, CeVO4/Au can provide distinct tumor contrast by photothermal/photoacoustic bimodal bioimaging. Our results demonstrate that CeVO4/Au NCs could be used as an effective theranostic anticancer agent for near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated PTT and PDT.

Abstract
Well-designed 2D materials with ultrathin structures show great potential for humidity-sensing performance owing to their high surface-volume ratio and a great number of exposed atoms on the surface. However, some sensing elements employed for healthcare applications may be considered as potentially risky, such as inflammation, granuloma formation, and carcinogenesis. Herein, we explored biofriendly humidity-sensing characteristics inspired by the great biocompatibility and conductivity of hyperbranched polyethyleneimine-capped gold nanoparticles and cross-linked with polydopamine from the adhesive proteins in mussels. It was successfully employed into two kinds of wearable devices, sports watches and breathing masks, for real-time recording humidity's fluctuation in expiration and sweat with changes of individual's crying, laughing, nervous, sleeping, training, and cold states. The wearable devices allow us to monitor individual's physical activities and emotional states well, suggesting a promising prospect in safe, reusable, long term, and noncontact human health monitoring applications.

Abstract
The efficacy of dynamic therapy for solid tumors suffers daunting challenges induced by tumor hypoxia. Herein, we report a biocompatible nanosystem containing Fe(OH)3-modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for promoting synergetic chemo- and photodynamic therapy with the modulation of tumor hypoxia. In this system, UCNPs convert 808 nm near-infrared excitation to visible photon energy, which stimulates chlorin-e6 photosensitizers to generate toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) by consumption of dissolved oxygen in cancer cells. Importantly, we employ Fe(OH)3 compounds to enable continuous oxygen generation in cancer cells and, meanwhile, induce extra ROS formation through the Fenton-like reaction. The system consequently improves the tumor treatment efficacy in vitro and in vivo. This study puts forward a novel combinatorial therapeutic platform for tumor microenvironment modulation and enhanced cancer therapy.

Abstract
Theragnostics is considered as an emerging treatment strategy that integrates therapeutics and diagnostics thus allowing delivery of therapeutics and simultaneous monitoring of the progression of treatment. Among the different types of inorganic nanomaterials that are being used for nanomedicine, core shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles have emerged as promising multifunctional nanoplatform for theragnostic application. Research in the design of core/shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles is steadily diversifying owing to the various interesting properties of these nanomaterials that are advantageous for advanced biomedical applications. Core/shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles, have garnered substantial attention in recent years because of their exceptional properties including large surface area, low density, ease of functionalization, high loading capacity of drugs, control of the morphology, particle size, tunable hollow interior space and mesoporous shell and possibility of incorporating multifunctional interior core material. In the past decade researcher's demonstrated tremendous development in design of functionalized core/shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles with different inorganic functional nanomaterial incorporated into mesoporous nanosystem for simultaneous therapeutic and diagnostic (theragnostic) applications in cancer. In this review, we recapitulate the progress in commonly used synthetic strategies and theragnostic applications of core/shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles with special emphasis on therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. Finally, we discuss the challenges and some perspectives on the future research and development of theragnostic core/shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles.

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
The detection and treatment of cancer cells at an early stage are crucial for prolonging the survival time and improving the quality of life of patients. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have unique physical and chemical advantages and likely provide a platform for detecting and treating cancer cells at an early stage. In this paper, the principle of UCNPs as chemical sensors based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been briefly introduced. Research progress in such chemical sensors for detecting and analyzing bioactive substances and heavy metal ions at the subcellular level has been summarized. The principle of UCNP-based nanoprobe-targeting of cancer cells has been described. The research progress in using nanocomposites for cancer cell detection, namely cancer cell targeted imaging and tissue staining, has been discussed. In the field of cancer treatment, the principles and research progress of UCNPs in photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy of cancer cells are systematically discussed. Finally, the prospects for UCNPs and remaining challenges to UCNP application in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment are briefly described. This review provides powerful theoretical guidance and useful practical information for the research and application of UCNPs in the field of cancer.

Abstract
The detection of lymph node metastasis is of great importance for therapy planning and prognosis of cancers, but remains challenging in the clinic. In the current study, we report a tumor-specific imaging probe constructed with NaGdF4:Yb,Tm,Ca@NaLuF4 core@shell upconversion nanoparticles showing distinctive near infrared emission. The following studies revealed that the characteristic Tm dopant emission at 804 nm showed a penetration depth up to 7.7 mm through multi-layered mice skin tissues, substantially greater than emissions at 655 nm and 541 nm typically from the widely used Er dopant, which is apparently favorable for sensitive tumor diagnosis. The cell binding assay further revealed that the anti-HER2 antibodies covalently attached on the particle surface endowed the nanoprobe with excellent binding specificity in targeting HER2-positive cancer cells in vitro, which further enabled the detection of lymph node metastasis of breast cancer in vivo in mice. In addition, the pharmacokinetics of the resulting nanoprobes were intensively studied through both upconversion luminescence imaging and SPECT imaging for comparing with that of the mother particles. The results obtained through both approaches were well consistent and revealed that the surface conjugation of antibodies largely altered the pharmacokinetic behaviors and substantially prolonged the blood half-life of the underlying nanoparticles, which was never reported before.

Abstract
Up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNP) under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation have been well investigated in the field of bio-imaging. However, the low up-conversion luminescence (UCL) intensity limits applications. Plasmonic modulation has been proposed as an effective tool to adjust the luminescence intensity and lifetime. In this study discrete dipole approximation (DDA) was explored concerning guiding the design of UCNP@mSiO2-Au structures with enhanced UCL intensity. The extinction effects of gold shells could be changed by adjusting the distance between the UCNPs and the Au NPs by synthesized tunable mesoporous silica (mSiO2) spacers. Enhanced UCL was obtained under 808 nm irradiation. The original theoretical predictions could not be demonstrated to full extend by experimental data, indicating that better models for simulation need to take into account in homogeneities in particle morphologies. Yet, one very certain conclusion resulting from the DDA calculations and experiments is that the absorbance can blue-shift with more Au NPs added and the absorbance can-red shift for samples with enhanced silica sizes in the UCNP@mSiO2-Au structures. Furthermore, when the DDA model is more consistent with the practical structure (dispersed Au NPs instead of Au shell), the theoretical absorbance occurs almost the same as the practical absorbance. All in all, the DDA could fit the extinction effect of Au perfectly and be suitable for guiding how to design the UCNP and Au.

Abstract
At present, transmembrane glycoprotein CD133 highly expressed pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs), with the features of chemotherapeutic/radiotherapeutic resistance and exclusive tumorigenic potential, are considered as the primary cause of metastasis and recurrence in pancreatic cancer, and therefore are an effective target in the disease treatment. Furthermore, with the launch of precision medicine, multifunctional nanoprobes have been applied as an efficient strategy for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) of pancreatic cancer. In this research, with the aim of achieving precise MRI-guided PTT in CD133 highly expressed PCSCs, novel bTiO2-Gd-CD133mAb nanoprobes were designed and successfully prepared by loading Gd-DOTA and CD133 monoclonal antibodies on black TiO2 nanoparticles. It was very interesting to find that the r1 relaxivity value of the nanoprobes was 34.394 mM-1 s-1, about 7.5 times that of commercial Magnevist (4.5624 mM-1 s-1), which indicates that the nanoprobes have good potential as MRI T1 contrast agents with excellent performance. Herein, CD133 highly expressed PANC-1 cells were selected and verified as PCSCs model. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the nanoprobes exhibited active-targeting ability in PANC-1 cells, and consequently could specially enhance T1-weighted MR imaging and 808 nm near-infrared (NIR)-triggered PTT efficiency in the PCSCs model. Our study not only provides a new strategy for the effective treatment of pancreatic cancer and its' stem cells, but also further broadens the application of black TiO2 in the field of cancer theranostics.

Abstract
The oxygen-deprived environment of a solid tumor is still great restriction in achieving an efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we developed a smart pH-controllable and H2O2-responsive nanoplatform with degradable property, which was based on honeycomb manganese oxide (hMnO2) nanospheres loaded with Ce6-sensitized core-shell-shell structured up-conversion nanoparticles (NaGdF4:Yb/Er,Tm@NaGdF4:Yb@NaNdF4:Yb) (abbreviated as hMUC). In the system, the speedy breakup of the as-prepared hMnO2 nanostructures results in release of loaded Ce6-sensitized UCNPs under the condition of H2O2 in acid solution. When exposed to tissue-penetrable 808 nm laser, up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) emit higher-energy visible photons which would be absorbed by Ce6 to yield cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus triggering PDT treatment naturally. Moreover, the in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that hMUC sample with the honeycomb-satellite structure can serve as multimodal bioimaging contrast agent for self-enhanced upconversion luminescence (UCL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) imaging, indicating that the as-prepared hMUC could be used in imaging-guided diagnosis and treatment, which has a potential application in the PDT treatment of tumor.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanomedicine-based theranostic platforms have catalyzed the generation of new theranostic modalities for pathological abnormalities, such as cancer. Mesoporous silica-based nanomedicines, which feature unique physicochemical properties and specific applicability, are extensively explored for numerous oncological applications. Due to the well-defined morphology, specific surface area, and pore volume, mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-based theranostic platforms have provided unprecedented opportunities for the development of next-generation cancer nanomedicine. However, current understanding on the underlying mechanisms of how these feasible theranostic platforms interact with exogenous/endogenous triggers and how this unique responsiveness for optimized cancer therapy can be taken advantage of is still preliminary. In this progress report, efforts are made to give a comprehensive overview of the development of MSN-based "smart" theranostic platforms, from exogenous physical irradiation-triggered platforms for localized therapy to endogenous biological stimulus-triggered platforms for tumor microenvironment responsiveness. It is highly expected that these elaborately fabricated MSN-based nanoformulations will play an indispensable role in the efficient cancer therapy based on their high therapeutic outcome and reduced side effects.

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
Previous study showed that pyroglutamate aminopeptidase 1 (PGP-1) has a relationship with the immune response in cells. However, whether PGP-1 is involved in inflammatory response in vivo and can serve as a new inflammatory cytokine are still unclear. To address these issues, a new near-infrared fluorescent probe, which exhibits high selectivity and super sensitivity, is developed. With this probe, the up-regulation of PGP-1 (evidenced by western blot) in BALB/c mice legs and livers under the stimulation of two main immunopotentiators is revealed for the first time. The occurrence of inflammatory process (including tissue necrosis) in mice is determined by up-regulation of tumor necrosis factor-α and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Interestingly, it is revealed for the first time that knocking down PGP-1 leads to the weakness of inflammatory process in RAW264.7 cells. These new findings suggest that PGP-1 is indeed involved in inflammatory response in vivo and can be a new inflammatory cytokine.

Abstract
Multifunctional nano-biomaterials with the integration of diagnostic and therapeutic functions have shown great promise in improving the efficacy of cancer therapy. Herein, a new nanoplatform based on functionalized Cu3BiS3 nanoparticles (NPs) is fabricated for tumour-targeted combination phototherapy. The as-synthesized hydrophobic Cu3BiS3 NPs are modified with DSPE-PEG/DSPE-PEG-NH2, followed by the conjugation of the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and the target ligand folic acid (FA). The introduced Ce6 can further form a chelate complex with Gd3+. The rationally designed Cu3BiS3-PEG-(Ce6-Gd3+)-FA NPs, which have high physiological stability and good biocompatibility, can specifically target FA-receptor over-expressed tumour cells. The Cu3BiS3-PEG-(Ce6-Gd3+)-FA NPs exhibit effective dual-modal CT and MR imaging in the xenografted HeLa tumours. Importantly, excellent in vivo anti-tumour effects have been achieved by synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy using the multifunctional NPs. We expect that this versatile nanoplatform will play a role in exploring precise cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Nowadays, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is under the research spotlight as an appealing modality for various malignant tumors. Compared with conventional PDT treatment activated by ultraviolet or visible light, near infrared (NIR) light-triggered PDT possessing deeper penetration to lesion area and lower photodamage to normal tissue holds great potential for in vivo deep-seated tumor. In this review, recent research progress related to the exploration of NIR light responsive PDT nanosystems is summarized. To address current obstacles of PDT treatment and facilitate the effective utilization, several innovative strategies are developed and introduced into PDT nanosystems, including the conjugation with targeted moieties, O2 self-sufficient PDT, dual photosensitizers (PSs)-loaded PDT nanoplatform, and PDT-involved synergistic therapy. Finally, the potential challenges as well as the prospective for further development are also discussed.

Abstract
Near infrared (NIR) light triggered phototherapy including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) affords superior outcome in cancer treatment. However, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by NIR-excited upconversion nanostructure is limited by the feeble upconverted light which cannot activate PDT agents efficiently. Here, an IR-808 dye sensitized upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) with a chlorin e6 (Ce6)-functionalized silica layer is developed for PDT agent. The two booster effectors (dye-sensitization and core-shell enhancement) synergistically amplify the upconversion efficiency, therefore achieving superbright visible emission under low 808 nm light excitation. The markedly amplified red light subsequently triggers the photosensitizer (Ce6) to produce large amount of ROS for efficient PDT. After the silica is endowed with positive surface, these PDT nanoparticles can be easily grafted on MoS2 nanosheet. As the optimal laser wavelength of UCNPs is consistent with that of MoS2 nanosheet for PTT, the invented nanoplatform generates both abundant ROS and local hyperthermia upon a single 808 nm laser irradiation. Both the in vitro and in vivo assays validate that the innovated nanostructure presents excellent cancer cell inhibition effectiveness by taking advantages of the synergistic PTT and PDT, simultaneously, posing trimodal (upconversion luminescence/computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging capability.
