Recent Advances in Graphene Oxide-Based on Organoid Culture as Disease Model and Cell Behavior - A Systematic Literature Review. Int J Nanomedicine 2024; 19:6201-6228. [PMID: 38911499 PMCID: PMC11193994 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s455940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Due to their ability to replicate the in vivo microenvironment through cell interaction and induce cells to stimulate cell function, three-dimensional cell culture models can overcome the limitations of two-dimensional models. Organoids are 3D models that demonstrate the ability to replicate the natural structure of an organ. In most organoid tissue cultures, matrigel made of a mouse tumor extracellular matrix protein mixture is an essential ingredient. However, its tumor-derived origin, batch-to-batch variation, high cost, and safety concerns have limited the usefulness of organoid drug development and regenerative medicine. Its clinical application has also been hindered by the fact that organoid generation is dependent on the use of poorly defined matrices. Therefore, matrix optimization is a crucial step in developing organoid culture that introduces alternatives as different materials. Recently, a variety of substitute materials has reportedly replaced matrigel. The purpose of this study is to review the significance of the latest advances in materials for cell culture applications and how they enhance build network systems by generating proper cell behavior. Excellence in cell behavior is evaluated from their cell characteristics, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and even gene expression. As a result, graphene oxide as a matrix optimization demonstrated high potency in developing organoid models. Graphene oxide can promote good cell behavior and is well known for having good biocompatibility. Hence, advances in matrix optimization of graphene oxide provide opportunities for the future development of advanced organoid models.

[PMID: 38705249 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
Most nanomedicines with suitable sizes (normally 100-200 nm) exhibit favorable accumulation in the periphery of tumors but hardly penetrate into deep tumors. Effective penetration of nanomedicines requires smaller sizes (less than 30 nm) to overcome the elevated tumor interstitial fluid pressure. Moreover, integrating an efficient diagnostic agent in the nanomedicines is in high demand for precision theranostics of tumors. To this end, a near-infrared light (NIR) -triggered size-shrinkable micelle system (Fe3O4@AuNFs/DOX-M) coloaded antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) and biomodal imaging agent magnetic gold nanoflower (Fe3O4@AuNFs) was developed to achieve efficient theranostic of tumors. Upon the accumulation of Fe3O4@AuNFs/DOX-M in the tumor periphery, a NIR laser was irradiated near the tumor sites, and the loaded Fe3O4@Au NFs could convert the light energy to heat, which triggered the cleavage of DOX-M to the ultra-small micelles (∼5 nm), thus realizing the deep penetration of micelles and on-demand drug release. Moreover, Fe3O4@AuNFs in the micelles could also be used as CT/MRI dual-modal contrast agent to "visualize" the tumor. Up to 92.6 % of tumor inhibition was achieved for the developed Fe3O4@AuNFs/DOX-M under NIR irradiation. This versatile micelle system provided a promising drug carrier platform realizing efficient tumor dual-modal diagnosis and photothermal-chemotherapy integration.

Abstract
Upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymers undergo their own collapsed structures to show thermoresponsive functions favoring controlled release systems, cell adhesion, including separation process, etc. Although the copolymerization of UCST monomers with other vinyl monomers containing a pendant group is a good way to introduce additional functions, uncertain UCST performance as well as extensive bio-related properties are always the points to be considered. To accomplish this, the present work proposes the application of polysaccharides, i.e., chitosan (CS), as the biopolymer backbone to conjugate with functional molecules and UCST polymers. The use of chain transfer agents, e.g., mercaptoacetic acid, in radical polymerization with UCST poly(methacrylamide) (PMAAm) via the CS/NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) complex allows the simple water-based modification. The further conjugation of mouse anti-LipL32 IgG monoclonal antibody (anti-LipL32 mAb) onto CS-PMAAm (CS-PMAAm-Ab) enables a selective binding of recombinant LipL32 (rLipL32) antigen (Ag) in the solution. The CS-PMAAm obtained not only shows the cloud point in the range of 10-30 °C but also the extraction of rLipL32 because of CS-PMAAm-Ab-Ag aggregation. The present work demonstrates how CS expresses UCST with additional antibody conjugated is feasible for a simple and effective Ag single-phase extraction.

Abstract
Scavenging free radicals and reducing inflammatory reaction to relieve the secondary damage are important issues in the spinal cord injury (SCI) therapeutic strategy. Nanozymes attract more attention in the drug development of SCI due to the high stability, long-lasting catalytic capacity, and multienzyme-like properties. Herein, we constructed a Rapamycin (Rapa)-loaded and hollow mesoporous Prussian blue (HMPB)-based nanozyme (RHPAzyme) to realize the combined antioxidation and anti-inflammation combination therapy of SCI. Furthermore, activated cell penetrating peptide (ACPP) is modified onto nanozyme to endow the effectively ability of lesion area-targeting. This RHPAzyme exhibits ROS scavenging capacity with the transformation of Fe2+/Fe3+ valance and cyanide group of HMPB to achieve multienzyme-like activity. As expected, RHPAzyme scavenges the ROS overproduction and reduces inflammation in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced damage via inhibiting MAPK/AKT signaling pathway. Furtherly, RHPAzyme exhibits the combined antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in vivo, which can effectively alleviate neuronal damage and promote motor function recovery in SCI mice. Overall, this study demonstrates the RHPAzyme induces an effective treatment of SCI by inhibiting oxygen-mediated cell apoptosis and suppressing inflammation-induced injury, thus reduces the nervous impairment and promotes motor function recovery.

Abstract
Glioma is one of the most serious central nervous system diseases, with high mortality and poor prognosis. Despite the continuous development of existing treatment methods, the median survival time of glioma patients is still only 15 months. The main treatment difficulties are the invasive growth of glioma and the obstruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to drugs. With rapid advancements in nanotechnology, inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) have shown favourable application prospects in the diagnosis and treatment of glioma. Due to their extraordinary intrinsic features, INPs can be easily fabricated, while doping with other elements and surface modification by biological ligands can be used to enhance BBB penetration, targeted delivery and biocompatibility. Guided glioma theranostics with INPs can improve and enhance the efficacy of traditional methods such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and gene therapy. New strategies, such as immunotherapy, photothermal and photodynamic therapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and multifunctional inorganic nanoplatforms, have also been facilitated by INPs. This review emphasizes the current state of research and clinical applications of INPs, including glioma targeting and BBB penetration enhancement methods, in vivo and in vitro biocompatibility, and diagnostic and treatment strategies. As such, it provides insights for the development of novel glioma treatment strategies.

Abstract
The fluorophores in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biological window (1000 - 1700 nm) show great application prospects in the fields of biology and optical communications. However, both excellent radiative transition and nonradiative transition cannot be achieved simultaneously for the majority of traditional fluorophores. Herein, tunable nanoparticles formulated with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) heater are developed rationally. The system can be implemented via the development of an ideal synergistic system that can not only produce photothermal from nonspecific triggers but also trigger carbon radical release. Once accumulating in tumors and subsequently being irradiated with 808 nm laser, the nanoparticles (NMB@NPs) encapsulated with NMDPA-MT-BBTD (NMB) are splitted due to the photothermal effect of NMB, leading to the decomposition of azo bonds in the nanoparticle matrix to generate carbon radical. Accompanied by second near-infrared (NIR-II) window emission from the NMB, fluorescence image-guided thermodynamic therapy (TDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) which significantly inhibited the growth of oral cancer and negligible systemic toxicity is achieved synergistically. Taken together, this AIE luminogens-based synergistic photothermal-thermodynamic strategy brings a new insight into the design of superior versatile fluorescent NPs for precise biomedical applications and holds great promise to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Concurrent developments in anticancer nanotechnological treatments have been observed as the burden of cancer increases every year. The 21st century has seen a transformation in the study of medicine thanks to the advancement in the field of material science and nanomedicine. Improved drug delivery systems with proven efficacy and fewer side effects have been made possible. Nanoformulations with varied functions are being created using lipids, polymers, and inorganic and peptide-based nanomedicines. Therefore, thorough knowledge of these intelligent nanomedicines is crucial for developing very promising drug delivery systems. Polymeric micelles are often simple to make and have high solubilization characteristics; as a result, they seem to be a promising alternative to other nanosystems. Even though recent studies have provided an overview of polymeric micelles, here we included a discussion on the "intelligent" drug delivery from these systems. We also summarized the state-of-the-art and the most recent developments of polymeric micellar systems with respect to cancer treatments. Additionally, we gave significant attention to the clinical translation potential of polymeric micellar systems in the treatment of various cancers.

Abstract
The selective and efficient delivery of bioactive molecules to sites of interest remains a formidable challenge in medicine. In recent years, it has been shown that stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems display several advantages over traditional drug administration such as an improved pharmacokinetic profile and the desirable ability to gain control over release. Light emerged as one of the most powerful stimuli due to its high biocompatibility, spatio-temporal control, and non-invasiveness. On the road to clinical translation, various chemical systems of high complexity have been reported with the aim to improve efficacy, safety, and versatility of drug delivery under complex biological conditions. For future research on the chemical design of such photo-controlled nanomedicines, it is essential to gain an understanding of their in vivo translation and efficiency. Here, we discuss photo-controlled nanomedicines that have been evaluated in vivo and provide an overview of the state-of-the-art that should guide future research design.

Abstract
The complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) severely hinders the therapeutic effects of various cancer treatment modalities. The TME differs from normal tissues owing to the presence of hypoxia, low pH, and immune-suppressive characteristics. Modulation of the TME to reverse tumor growth equilibrium is considered an effective way to treat tumors. Recently, polymeric nanomedicines have been widely used in cancer therapy, because their synthesis can be controlled and they are highly modifiable, and have demonstrated great potential to remodel the TME. In this review, we outline the application of various stimuli responsive polymeric nanomedicines to modulate the TME, aiming to provide insights for the design of the next generation of polymeric nanomedicines and promote the development of polymeric nanomedicines for cancer therapy.

[PMID: 36427657 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2022.11.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Surface PEGylation of nanomedicine is effective for prolonging blood circulation time and facilitating the EPR effect, whereas the hydrophilic stealth surface inhibits effective cellular uptake and hinders active targeting. To address the dilemma, herein, a NIR light-triggered dePEGylation/ligand-presenting strategy based on thermal decomposition of azo bonds is developed, whereby Dox/Pz-IR nanoparticle is self-assembled from thermo-labile azo molecule-linked long PEG chain polymer (Pz-IR), cRGD-conjugated IR783 with short PEG chains (rP-IR) and doxorubicin. The long PEG chains could mask cRGD peptides in the blood circulation, preventing serum degradation and nonspecific interaction with normal cells. Once exposed to NIR laser, the PEG corona is stripped off owing to the rupture of azo bonds through the photothermal effect of IR783, and the masked cRGD peptides are exposed, which remarkably enhances cellular uptake by tumor cells and improves tumor accumulation. Dox/Pz-IR achieves the optimal synergy of photothermal-chemotherapy at mild temperature through progressive tumor accumulation, precisely regulated photothermal effect and NIR-PTT induced pulsated drug release. The strategy of NIR photo-driven dePEGylation/targeting offers a new approach to overcoming the "PEG dilemma", and provides a noval avenue for programmed tumor-targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, nanomedicines are widely used in tumor therapy. However, biological barriers in the delivery of nanoparticles still limit their application in tumor therapy. As one of the most fundamental properties of nanoparticles, particle size plays a crucial role in the process of the nanoparticles delivery process. It is difficult for large size nanoparticles with fixed size to achieve satisfactory outcomes in every process. In order to overcome the poor penetration of larger size, nanoparticles with ultra-small particle size are proposed, which are more conducive to deep tumor penetration and uniform drug distribution. In this review, the latest progresses and advantages of ultra-small nanoparticles are systematically summarized, the perspectives and challenges of ultra-small nanoparticles strategy for cancer treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
Since the beginning of pharmaceutical research, drug delivery methods have been an integral part of it. Polymeric micelles (PMs) have emerged as multifunctional nanoparticles in the current technological era of nanocarriers, and they have shown promise in a range of scientific fields. They can alter the release profile of integrated pharmacological substances and concentrate them in the target zone due to their improved permeability and retention, making them more suitable for poorly soluble medicines. With their ability to deliver poorly soluble chemotherapeutic drugs, PMs have garnered considerable interest in cancer. As a result of their remarkable biocompatibility, improved permeability, and minimal toxicity to healthy cells, while also their capacity to solubilize a wide range of drugs in their micellar core, PMs are expected to be a successful treatment option for cancer therapy in the future. Their nano-size enables them to accumulate in the tumor microenvironment (TME) via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. In this review, our major aim is to focus primarily on the stellar applications of PMs in the field of cancer therapeutics along with its mechanism of action and its latest advancements in drug and gene delivery (DNA/siRNA) for cancer, using various therapeutic strategies such as crossing blood-brain barrier, gene therapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and immunotherapy. Furthermore, PMs can be employed as "smart drug carriers," allowing them to target specific cancer sites using a variety of stimuli (endogenous and exogenous), which improve the specificity and efficacy of micelle-based targeted drug delivery. All the many types of stimulants, as well as how the complex of PM and various anticancer drugs react to it, and their pharmacodynamics are also reviewed here. In conclusion, commercializing engineered micelle nanoparticles (MNPs) for application in therapy and imaging can be considered as a potential approach to improve the therapeutic index of anticancer drugs. Furthermore, PM has stimulated intense interest in research and clinical practice, and in light of this, we have also highlighted a few PMs that have previously been approved for therapeutic use, while the majority are still being studied in clinical trials for various cancer therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In recent years, to improve the precision of drug delivery and reduce toxicity associated from the uncontrolled drug release at off-target locations, extensive efforts have been paid to develop stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, which enable precise control over on-demand drug release due to internal stimuli like pH, redox, enzyme and external stimuli like light, magnetic field, and ultrasound. Moreover, some stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have been strategically incorporated with imaging probes for simultaneous monitoring of the drug delivery process and region of interest for treatment optimization. AREAS COVERED In this review, the state-of-art progress in developing stimuli-responsive image-guided nanocarriers are summarized, including their designed strategies, synergistic mechanism, and biomedical applications in cancer therapy, and the current challenges and new perspectives are discussed. EXPERT OPINION The stimuli-responsive nanocarriers provide assurance for precise release of drugs and imaging probes, and the molecular imaging techniques can monitor the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and bioavailability of drugs in vivo, and feedback the drug delivery profile. Therefore, stimuli-responsive image-guided nanocarriers can integrate diagnosis and therapy in one nanoplatform and facilitate optimal therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a nonionizing, noninvasive imaging technique that combines optical and ultrasonic imaging modalities to provide images with excellent contrast, spatial resolution, and penetration depth. Exogenous PA contrast agents are created to increase the sensitivity and specificity of PA imaging and to offer diagnostic information for illnesses. The existing PA contrast agents are categorized into two groups in this review: "always-on" and "turn-on," based on their ability to be triggered by target molecules. The present state of these probes, their merits and limitations, and their future development, is explored.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising alternative therapy for benign or even malignant tumors. To improve the selective heating of tumor cells, target-specific photothermal conversion agents are often included, especially nanoparticles. Meanwhile, some indirect methods by manipulating the radiation and heat delivery are also adopted. Therefore, to gain a clear understanding of the mechanism, and to improve the controllability of PTT, a few issues need to be clarified, including bioheat and radiation transfer, localized and collective heating of nanoparticles, etc. In this review, we provide an introduction to the typical bioheat transfer and radiation transfer models along with the dynamic thermophysical properties of biological tissue. On this basis, we reviewed the most recent advances in the temperature control methods in PTT from macroscale to nanoscale. Most importantly, a comprehensive introduction of the localized and collective heating effects of nanoparticle clusters is provided to give a clear insight into the mechanism for PPT from the microscale and nanoscale point of view.

Spatiotemporal Temperature Distribution of NIR Irradiated Polypyrrole Nanoparticles and Effects of pH. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14153151.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal temperature distributions of NIR irradiated polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPN) were evaluated by varying PPN concentrations and the pH of suspensions. The PPN were synthesized by oxidative chemical polymerization, resulting in a hydrodynamic diameter of 98 ± 2 nm, which is maintained in the pH range of 4.2–10; while the zeta potential is significantly affected, decreasing from 20 ± 2 mV to −5 ± 1 mV at the same pH range. The temperature profiles of PPN suspensions were obtained using a NIR laser beam (1.5 W centered at 808 nm). These results were analyzed with a three-dimensional predictive unsteady-state heat transfer model that considers heat conduction, photothermal heating from laser irradiation, and heat generation due to the water absorption. The temperature profiles of PPN under laser irradiation are concentration-dependent, while the pH increase only induces a slight reduction in the temperature profiles. The model predicts a value of photothermal transduction efficiency (η) of 0.68 for the PPN. Furthermore, a linear dependency was found for the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) and η with the suspension temperature and pH, respectively. Finally, the model developed in this work could help identify the exposure time and concentration doses for different tissues and cells (pH-dependent) in photothermal applications.

Abstract
The lymphatic system provides a main route for the dissemination of most malignancies, which was related to high mortality in cancer patients. Traditional intravenous chemotherapy is of limited effectiveness on lymphatic metastasis due to the difficulty in accessing the lymphatic system. Herein, a novel lymphatic-targeting nanoplatform is prepared by loading doxorubicin (DOX) into sub-50 nm polypyrrole nanovesicles (PPy NVs). The PPy NVs possessed hollow spherical morphologies and a negative surface charge, leading to high drug loading capacity. These vesicles can also convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat and thus can be used for tumor thermal ablation. DOX loaded PPy NVs (PPy@DOX NVs) along with NIR illumination are highly effective against 4T1 breast cancer cells in vitro. More importantly, following subcutaneous (SC) injection, a direct lymphatic migration of PPy@DOX NVs is confirmed through fluorescence observation of the isolated draining nodes. The acidic conditions in metastatic nodes might subsequently trigger the release of the encapsulated DOX NVs based on their pH-sensitive release profile. In a mouse model bearing 4T1 breast cancer, lymphatic metastases, as well as lung metastases, are significantly inhibited by nanocarrier-mediated trans-lymphatic drug delivery in combination with photothermal ablation. In conclusion, this platform holds great potential in impeding tumor growth and metastasis.

Abstract
In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of gastrointestinal cancer have remained high in China. Due to the deep location of the gastrointestinal organs, such as gastric cancer, the early symptoms of cancer are not obvious. It is generally discovered at an advanced stage with distant metastasis and lymph node infiltration, making it difficult to cure. Therefore, there is a significant need for novel technologies that can effectively diagnose and treat gastrointestinal cancer, ultimately reducing its mortality. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs), a type of nanocarrier with unique optical properties and remarkable biocompatibility, have the potential to influence the fate of cancer by delivering drugs, nucleic acids to cancer cells and tissues. As a safe and reliable visualization agent, GNPs can track drugs and accurately indicate the location and boundaries of cancer, opening up new possibilities for cancer treatment. In addition, GNPs have been used in photodynamic therapy to deliver photosensitizers, as well as in combination with photothermal therapy. Therefore, GNPs can be used as a safe and effective nanomaterial in the treatment and diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer.

Abstract
In the last decades, numerous stimuli-responsive polymers have been developed and investigated regarding their switching properties. In particular, thermoresponsive polymers, which form a miscibility gap with the ambient solvent with a lower or upper critical demixing point depending on the temperature, have been intensively studied in solution. For the application of such polymers in novel sensors, drug delivery systems or as multifunctional coatings, they typically have to be transferred into specific arrangements, such as micelles, polymer films or grafted nanoparticles. However, it turns out that the thermodynamic concept for the phase transition of free polymer chains fails, when thermoresponsive polymers are assembled into such sterically confined architectures. Whereas many published studies focus on synthetic aspects as well as individual applications of thermoresponsive polymers, the underlying structure-property relationships governing the thermoresponse of sterically constrained assemblies, are still poorly understood. Furthermore, the clear majority of publications deals with polymers that exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior, with PNIPAAM as their main representative. In contrast, for polymer arrangements with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST), there is only limited knowledge about preparation, application and precise physical understanding of the phase transition. This review article provides an overview about the current knowledge of thermoresponsive polymers with limited mobility focusing on UCST behavior and the possibilities for influencing their thermoresponsive switching characteristics. It comprises star polymers, micelles as well as polymer chains grafted to flat substrates and particulate inorganic surfaces. The elaboration of the physicochemical interplay between the architecture of the polymer assembly and the resulting thermoresponsive switching behavior will be in the foreground of this consideration.

Abstract
Constructing highly efficient and multifunctional nanoparticles to overcome the multiple challenges of targeted drug delivery is a new strategy urgently needed in tumor therapy. Here, we synthesized pH-responsive prodrug (PEG2K-NH-N-DOX), GSH-responsive prodrug (PEG2K-S-S-CPT), folate-receptor targeting polymers (FA-PEG2K-L8, FA-PEG2K-TOS) and T1-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (Gd-DTPA-N16-16), used to encapsulate combrestatinA4 (CA4) to prepare multifunctional nanoparticles (FTDCAG NPs). Unlike other nanoparticles, FTDCAG NPs contains three drugs with the ability to control the release in time and space, which can maximize the effectiveness of precise cancer chemotherapy. We first confirmed that specific binding between FTDCAG NPs and overexpressed folate-receptor cells by flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. We then investigated the spatiotemporally controlled release ability of FTDCAG NPs loaded with doxorubicin (DOX), CA4 and camptothecin (CPT). Relative to pH = 7.4, the release efficiency of CA4 in the pH = 6.5 increased by 63.4 %. The first released CA4 is able to destroy the angiogenesis and help tumor cells to be exposed to the remaining FTDCG NPs. After being internalized into the tumor cells, FTDCG NPs is disassembled and the CPT and DOX were released due to the increase of intracellular GSH concentration and the decrease of pH value. Besides, the relaxation time of FTDCAG NPs is 3.86 times that of clinical Gd-DTPA, and the in vitro and vivo T1-weighted imaging is brighter, which can be used to trace the nanoparticles by MRI. Therefore, FTDCAG NPs provide an efficient strategy for the design of multifunctional drug delivery systems for enhancing antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Focused ultrasound (FU) is in demand for clinical cancer therapy, but the possible thermal injury to the normal peripheral tissues limits the usage of the ablative FU for tumors with a large size; therefore research efforts have been made to minimize the possible side effects induced by the FU treatment. Non-ablative focused ultrasound assisted chemotherapy could open a new avenue for the development of cancer therapy technology. Here, low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for controlled quick intracellular release of small molecules (Mw ≤ 1000 Da) without acute cell damage is demonstrated. The release is achieved by a composite poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)/poly-(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS)/SiO2 microcapsules which are highly sensitive to LIFU and can be effectively broken by weak cavitation effects. Most PAH/PSS/SiO2 capsules in B50 rat neuronal cells can be ruptured and release rhodamine B (Rh-B) into the cytosol within only 30 s of 0.75 W cm-2 LIFU treatment, as demonstrated by the CLSM results. While the same LIFU treatment shows no obvious damage to cells, as proved by the live/dead experiment, showing that 90% of cells remain alive.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials are able to undergo controllable changes in materials properties in response to external cues. Increasing efforts have been directed towards building materials that mimic the responsive nature of biological systems. Nevertheless, limitations remain surrounding the way these synthetic materials interact and respond to their environment. In particular, it is difficult to synthesize synthetic materials that respond with specificity to poorly differentiated (bio)chemical and weak physical stimuli. The emerging area of engineered living materials (ELMs) includes composites that combine living cells and synthetic materials. ELMs have yielded promising advances in the creation of stimuli-responsive materials that respond with diverse outputs in response to a broad array of biochemical and physical stimuli. This review describes advances made in the genetic engineering of the living component and the processing-property relationships of stimuli-responsive ELMs. Finally, the implementation of stimuli-responsive ELMs as environmental sensors, biomedical sensors, drug delivery vehicles, and soft robots is discussed.

Abstract
Influenza, pneumonia, and pathogenic infection of the respiratory system are boosted in cold environments. Low temperatures also result in vasoconstriction, restraint of blood flow, and decreased oxygen to the heart, and the risk of a heart attack would increase accordingly. The present face mask fabric fails to preserve its air-filtering function as its electrostatic function vanishes once exposed to water. Therefore, its filtering efficacy would be decreased meaningfully, making it nearly impracticable to reuse the disposable face masks. The urgent requirement for photothermal fabrics is also rising. Nanobased polyethyleneimine-polypyrrole nanopigments (NPP NPs) have been developed and have strong near-infrared spectrum absorption and exceptional photothermal convertible performance. Herein, the mask fabric used PE-fiber-constructed membrane (PEFM) was coated by the binding affinity of the cationic polyethyleneimine component of NPP NPs forming NPP NPs-PEFM. To the best of our knowledge, no study has investigated NPP NP-coated mask fabric to perform infrared red (solar or body) photothermal conversion efficacy to provide biocompatible warming, remotely photothermally captured antipathogen, and antivasoconstriction in vivo. This pioneering study showed that the developed NPP NPs-PEFM could be washable, reusable, breathable, biocompatible, and photothermal conversable for active eradication of pathogenic bacteria. Further, it possesses warming preservation and antivasoconstriction.

Abstract
Chemotherapy serves as one of the most effective approaches in numerous tumor treatments but also suffers from the limitations of low bioavailability and adverse side effects due to premature drug leakage. Therefore, it is crucial to realize accurate on-demand drug release for promoting the application of chemotherapeutic agents. To achieve this, stimuli-responsive nanomedicines that can be activated by delicately designed cascade reactions have been developed in recent years. In general, the nanomedicines are triggered by an internal or external stimulus, generating an intermediate stimulus at tumor site, which can intensify the differences between tumor and normal tissues; the drug release process is then further activated by the intermediate stimulus. In this review, the latest progress made in cascade reactions-driven drug-release modes, based on the intermediate stimuli of heat, hypoxia, and reactive oxygen species, is systematically summarized. The perspectives and challenges of cascade strategy for drug delivery are also discussed.

Abstract
Cancers continue to be the second leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the development and improvement of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy in cancer management, effective tumor ablation strategies are still in need due to high cancer patient mortality. Hence, we have established a new approach to achieve treatment-actuated modifications in a tumor microenvironment by using synergistic activity between two potential anticancer drugs. Dual drug delivery of Regorafenib (REGO) and Cisplatin (PT) exhibits a great anticancer potential, as REGO enhances the effect of PT treatment of human cells by providing stability of the microenvironment. However, encapsulation of REGO and PT fanatical by methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(D, L-lactic acid) (PEG-PLA in termed as NPs) is incompetent owing to unsuitability between the binary Free REGO and PT core and the polymeric system. Now, we display that PT can be prepared by hydrophobic coating of the dual drug centers with dioleoylphosphatidic acid (DOPA). The DOPA-covered PT can be co-encapsulated in PLGA NPs alongside REGO to stimulate excellent anticancer property. The occurrence of the PT suggestively enhanced the encapsulations of REGO into PLGA NPs (REGO-PT NPs). Further, the morphology of REGO NPs, PT NPs, and REGO-PT NPs and nanoparticle size was examined by transmission microscopy (TEM), respectively. Furthermore REGO-PT NPs induced significant apoptosis in human lung A549 and ovarian A2780 cancer cells by in vitro. The morphological observation and apoptosis were confirmed by the various biochemical assayes (AO-EB, Nuclear Staining and Annexin V-FITC). In a xenograft model of lung cancer, this nanotherapy shows a durable inhibition of tumor progression upon the administration of a tolerable dose. Our results suggest that a hydrophobic and highly toxic drug can be rationally converted into a pharmacologically efficient and self-deliverable nursing care of nanotherapy.

Abstract
Therapeutic systems with site-specific pharmaceutical activation hold great promise to enhance therapeutic efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity in cancer therapy. With operational flexibility, noninvasiveness, and high spatiotemporal resolution, photoactivatable nanomedicines have drawn growing attention. Distinct from traditional controlled release systems relying on the difference of biomarker concentrations between disease and healthy tissues, photoactivatable nanomedicines capitalize on the interaction between nanotransducers and light to either trigger photochemical reactions or generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) or heat effect to remotely induce pharmaceutical actions in living subjects. Herein, the recent advances in the development of photoactivatable protherapeutic nanoagents for oncology are summarized. The design strategies and therapeutic applications of these nanoagents are described. Representative examples of each type are discussed in terms of structure, photoactivation mechanism, and preclinical models. Last, potential challenges and perspectives to further develop photoactivatable protherapeutic nanoagents in cancer nanomedicine are discussed.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs), the latest member of the graphene family, have attracted enormous interest in the last few years, due to their exceptional physical, chemical, electrical, optical, and biological properties. Their strong size-dependent photoluminescence and the presence of many reactive groups on the graphene surface allow their multimodal conjugation with therapeutic agents, targeting ligands, polymers, light responsive agents, fluorescent dyes, and functional nanoparticles, making them valuable agents for cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this review, the very recent advances covering the last 3 years on the applications of GQDs as drug delivery systems and theranostic tools for anticancer therapy are discussed, highlighting the relevant factors which regulate their biocompatibility. Among these factors, the size, kind, and degree of surface functionalization have shown to greatly affect their use in biological systems. Toxicity issues, which still represent an open challenge for the clinical development of GQDs based therapeutic agents, are also discussed at cellular and animal levels.

Abstract
The new era of nanotechnology has produced advanced nanomaterials applicable to various fields of medicine, including diagnostic bio-imaging, chemotherapy, targeted drug delivery, and biosensors. Various materials are formed into nanoparticles, such as gold nanomaterials, carbon quantum dots, and liposomes. The nanomaterials have been functionalized and widely used because they are biocompatible and easy to design and prepare. This review mainly focuses on nanomaterials responsive to the external stimuli used in drug-delivery systems. To overcome the drawbacks of conventional therapeutics to a tumor, the dual- and multi-responsive behaviors of nanoparticles have been harnessed to improve efficiency from a drug delivery point of view. Issues and future research related to these nanomaterial-based stimuli sensitivities and the scope of stimuli-responsive systems for nanomedicine applications are discussed.

Abstract
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), one of the leading causes of disability due to progressive autoimmune destruction of synovial joints, affects ∼1% of the global population. Standard therapy helps in reducing inflammation and delaying the progression of RA but is limited by non-responsiveness on long-term use and several side-effects. The conventional nanocarriers (CNCs), to some extent, minimize toxicity associated with free drug administration while improving the therapeutic efficacy. However, the uncontrolled release of the encapsulated drug even at off-targeted organs limits the application of CNCs. To overcome these challenges, trigger-responsive engineered nanocarriers (ENCs) have been recently explored for RA treatment. Unlike CNCs, ENCs enable precise control over on-demand drug release due to endogenous triggers in arthritic paws like pH, enzyme level, oxidative stress, or exogenously applied triggers like near-infrared light, magnetic field, ultrasonic waves, etc. As the trigger is selectively applied to the inflamed joint, it potentially reduces toxicity at off-target locations. Moreover, ENCs have been strategically coupled with imaging probe(s) for simultaneous monitoring of ENCs inside the body and facilitate an 'image-guided-co-trigger' for site-specific action in arthritic paws. In this review, the progress made in recently emerging 'trigger-responsive' and 'image-guided theranostics' ENCs for RA treatment has been explored with emphasis on the design strategies, mechanism, current status, challenges, and translational perspectives.

Abstract
Physically triggered systems hold promise for improving drug delivery by enhancing the controllability of drug accumulation and release, lowering non-specific toxicity, and facilitating clinical translation. Several external physical stimuli including ultrasound, light, electric fields and magnetic fields have been used to control drug delivery and they share some common features such as spatial targeting, spatiotemporal control, and minimal invasiveness. At the same time, they possess several distinctive features in terms of interactions with biological entities and/or the extent of stimulus response. Here, we review the key advances of such systems with a focus on discussing their physical mechanisms, the design rationales, and translational challenges.

Abstract
Here, a novel strategy for fabricating plasmonic-polymer hybrid nanostructures via the in situ thermal synthesis of copper sulfide (CuS) nanocrystals within poly(N-vinyl caprolactam)-based microgels is presented. In particular, the carboxyl groups inside the microgels enriched Cu2+ ions via electrostatic interaction, which further facilitated the nucleation inside the microgel matrix. The increase in nanocrystals' sizes with more added precursors indicated nanocrystals' continuous growth. The plasmon resonances in CuS nanocrystals were obtained due to the high-density free carriers in the covellite CuS. Both the sizes and the plasmon resonances of the as-synthesized CuS nanocrystals could be modulated by adjusting the amount of precursor. The fabricated hybrid nanostructures possessed good temperature responsivity, adjustable loading capacity, good colloidal stability, and pH dependent plasmon resonance. Furthermore, effective photothermal conversion performance was obtained under the illumination of a 980 nm NIR laser for controlling the phase transition of microgels, revealing promising potential in remotely controlled release of drugs.

Abstract
Dendritic macromolecules are potential candidates for nanomedical application. Herein, glycogen, the natural hyperbranched polysaccharide with favorable biocompatibility, is explored as an effective drug vehicle for treating liver cancer. In this system, glycogen is oxidized and conjugated with cancer drugs through a disulfide link, followed by in situ loading of polypyrrole nanoparticles and then coated with functional phospholipids to form the desired system, Gly-ss-DOX@ppy@Lipid-RGD. The phospholipid layer has good cell affinity and can assist the system to penetrate into cells smoothly. Additionally, combined with the "fusion targeting" of glycogen and the active targeting effect of RGD toward liver cancer cells, Gly-ss-DOX@ppy@Lipid-RGD presents efficient specificity and enrichment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Owing to the glutathione-triggered cleavage of disulfide linkers, Gly-ss-DOX@ppy@Lipid-RGD can controllably release drugs to induce cell nucleus damage. Meanwhile, the polypyrrole nanoparticles can absorb near-infrared light and radiate heat energy within tumors. Besides enhancing drug release, the heat can also provide photothermal treatment for tumors. As proved by in vitro and in vivo experiments, Gly-ss-DOX@ppy@Lipid-RGD is a remarkable candidate for synergistic chemophotothermal therapy with high anticancer therapeutic activity and reduced systematic toxicity, efficiently suppressing tumor growth. All results demonstrate that glycogen nanoparticles are expected to be a new building block for accurate hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.

Abstract
Background It is of great significance to develop intelligent co-delivery systems for cancer chemotherapy with improved therapeutic efficacy and few side-effects. Materials and Methods Here, we reported a co-delivery system based on pH-sensitive polyprodrug micelles for simultaneous delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX) as a combination chemotherapy with pH-triggered drug release profiles. The physicochemical properties, drug release profiles and mechanism, and cytotoxicity of PTX/DOX-PMs have been thoroughly investigated. Results and Discussion The pH-sensitive polyprodrug was used as nanocarrier, and PTX was encapsulated into the micelles with high drug-loading content (25.6%). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) was about 3.16 mg/L, indicating the system could form the micelles at low concentration. The particle size of PTX/DOX-PMs was 110.5 nm, and increased to approximately 140 nm after incubation for 5 days which showed that the PTX/DOX-PMs had high serum stability. With decrease in pH value, the particle size first increased, and thenwas no longer detectable. Similar change trend was observed for CMC values. The zetapotential increased sharply with decrease in pH. These results demonstrated the pHsensitivity of PTX/DOX-PMs. In vitro drug release experiments and study on release mechanism showed that the drug release rate and accumulative release for PTX and DOX were dependent on the pH, showing the pH-triggered drug release profiles. Cytotoxicity assay displayed that the block copolymer showed negligible cytotoxicity, while the PTX/DOX-PMs possessed high cytotoxic effect against several tumor cell lines compared with free drugs and control. Conclusion All the results demonstrated that the co-delivery system based on pH-sensitive polyprodrug could be a potent nanomedicine for combination cancer chemotherapy. In addition, construction based on polyprodrug and chemical drug could be a useful method to prepare multifunctional nanomedicine.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has caused a serious threat to human public health. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a representative drug-resistant bacterium, which is difficult to eradicate completely, resulting in high infection probability with severe mortality. Herein, pathogen-targeting phototheranostic nanoparticles, Van-OA@PPy, are developed for efficient elimination of MRSA infection. Van-OA@PPy nanoparticles are fabricated from the in situ templated formation of polypyrrole (PPy) in the presence of ferric ions (Fe3+) and a polymer template, hydrophilic poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-N,N-dimethyl acrylamide), P(HEMA-co-DMA). PPy nanoparticles are further coated with vancomycin conjugated oleic acid (Van-OA) to afford the resultant pathogen-targeting Van-OA@PPy. A high photothermal conversion efficiency of ∼49.4% is achieved. MRSA can be efficiently killed due to sufficient nanoparticle adhesion and fusion with MRSA, followed by photothermal therapy upon irradiation with an 808 nm laser. Remarkable membrane damage of MRSA is observed, which contributes greatly to the inhibition of MRSA infection. Furthermore, the nanoparticles have high stability and good biocompatibility without causing any detectable side effects. On the other hand, residual Fe3+ and PPy moieties in Van-OA@PPy endow the nanoparticles with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and photoacoustic (PA) imaging potency, respectively. The current strategy has the potential to inspire further advances in precise diagnosis and efficient elimination of MRSA infection in biomedicine.
