Abstract
The nanoscale multidrug codelivery system for synergistic therapy is an effective strategy for tumor treatment. However, the low drug delivery efficiency and poor therapeutic effects limit its application. Here, based on the coordination effect of Artemisinin (Art), quercetin (Qc), and Fe3+, we had constructed a safe and efficient carrier-free hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified Art-Fe-Qc nanoparticles (AFQ@HA NPs) for enhanced chemotherapy/photothermal therapy (PTT)-chemodynamic therapy (CDT) synergistic therapy, which achieved an ultrahigh drug loading efficiency and a multifunction anticancer strategy. The results showed that high drug loading was achieved based on drug coordination self-assembly, with Art and Qc contents of 38.6 and 42.7%, respectively. At the same time, based on the Qc-Fe coordination molecular network, the system had excellent photothermal conversion performance with an efficiency of 57.3% and could effectively inhibit the expression of HSP70, achieving enhanced PTT. Further, under the stimulation of excessive H2O2 and glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment, the AFQ@HA NPs were continuously degraded, while releasing Art and Fe3+/Fe2+ to achieve iron ion-enhanced CDT. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that AFQ@HA NPs could achieve chemotherapy-PTT-CDT synergistic therapy in response to tumor microenvironment by passively targeting and actively targeting tumor cells with CD44, demonstrating its excellent targeted antitumor effects.

Photothermal Catalytic Reduction and Bone Tissue Engineering Towards a Three-in-One Therapy Strategy for Osteosarcoma. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2408016.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is one of the most dreadful bone neoplasms in young people, necessitating the development of innovative therapies that can effectively eliminate tumors while minimizing damage to limb function. An ideal therapeutic strategy should possess three essential capabilities: antitumor effects, tissue-protective properties, and the ability to enhance osteogenesis. In this study, self-assembled Ce-substituted molybdenum blue (CMB) nanowheel crystals are synthesized and loaded onto 3D-printed bioactive glass (CMB@BG) scaffolds to develop a unique three-in-one treatment approach for osteosarcoma. The CMB@BG scaffolds exhibit outstanding photothermally derived tumor ablation within the near-infrared-II window due to the surface plasmon resonance properties of the CMB nanowheel crystals. Furthermore, the photothermally synergistic catalytic effect of CMB promotes the rapid scavenging of reactive oxygen species caused by excessive heat, thereby suppressing inflammation and protecting surrounding tissues. The CMB@BG scaffolds possess pro-proliferation and pro-differentiation capabilities that efficiently accelerate bone regeneration within bone defects. Altogether, the CMB@BG scaffolds that combine highly efficient tumor ablation, tissue protection based on anti-inflammatory mechanisms, and enhanced osteogenic ability are likely to be a point-to-point solution for the comprehensive therapeutic needs of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Mild photothermal therapy (MPTT) generates heat therapeutic effect at the temperature below 45 °C under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, which has the advantages of controllable treatment efficacy, lower hyperthermia temperatures, reduced dosage, and minimized damage to surrounding tissues. Despite significant progress has been achieved in MPTT, it remains primarily in the stage of basic and clinical research and has not yet seen widespread clinical adoption. Herein, a comprehensive overview of the recent NIR MPTT development was provided, aiming to emphasize the mechanism and obstacles, summarize the used photothermal agents, and introduce various biomedical applications such as anti-tumor, wound healing, and vascular disease treatment. The challenges of MPTT were proposed with potential solutions, and the future development direction in MPTT was outlooked to enhance the prospects for clinical translation.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumor would ineluctably cause oxidative stress and related inflammation in adjacent normal tissues, leading to a discounted therapeutic outcome. To address this issue, herein an innovative therapeutic strategy that integrates photothermal anticancer and normal cell protection is developed. A new type of nitrogen-doped carbon dot (ET-CD) has been synthesized in one step by hydrothermal method using ellagic acid and L-tyrosine as reaction precursors. The as-prepared ET-CD exhibits high photothermal conversion efficiency and good photothermal stability. After intravenous injection, ET-CD can accumulate at the tumor site and the hyperthermia generated under near infrared laser irradiation effectively ablates tumor tissues, thereby significantly inhibiting tumor growth. Importantly, owing to the inherited antioxidant activity from ellagic acid, ET-CD can remove reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced in the body and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors induced by oxidative stress, so as to alleviate the damage caused by heat-induced inflammation to normal cells and tissues while photothermal anticancer. These attractive features of ET-CD may open the exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies to promote the clinical application of PTT.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of gold nanorods (AuNRs) has garnered considerable attention in biomedical applications due to their unique optical and physicochemical properties. They have been considered as potential tools for the advanced treatment of diseases by various stimuli such as magnetic fields, pH, temperature and light in the fields of targeted therapy, imaging and drug delivery. Their biocompatibility and tunable plasmonic properties make them a versatile platform for a range of biomedical applications. While endogenous stimuli have limited cargo delivery control at specific sites, exogenous stimuli are a more favored approach despite their circumscribed penetration depth for releasing the cargo at the specific target. Dual/multi-stimuli responsive AuNTs can be triggered by multiple stimuli for enhanced control and specificity in biomedical applications. This review provides to provide a summary of the biomedical applications of stimuli-responsive AuNRs, including their endogenous and exogenous properties, as well as their dual/multi-functionality and potential for clinical delivery. This review provides a comprehensive review on the improvement of therapeutic efficacy and the effective control of drug release with AuNRs, highlights AuNRs design strategies in recent years, discusses the advantages or challenges so far in the field of AuNRs. Finally, we have addressed the clinical translation bio-integrated nanoassemblies (CTBNs) in this field.

Abstract
A significant impediment persists in developing multicomponent nanomedicines designed to dismantle the heat shock protein (HSP)-based protective mechanism of malignant tumors during photothermal therapy. Herein, well-defined PEGylated phospholipid micelles were utilized to coencapsulate quercetin (QUE, a natural anticancer agent and potent HSP inhibitor) and indocyanine green (ICG, a photothermal agent) with the aim of achieving synchronized and synergistic drug effects. The subsequent investigations validated that the tailored micellar system effectively enhanced QUE's water solubility and augmented its cellular internalization efficiency. Intriguingly, the compositional PEGylated phospholipids induced extraordinary endoplasmic reticulum stress, thereby sensitizing the tumor cells to QUE. Furthermore, QUE played a crucial role in inhibiting the stress-induced overexpression of HSP70, thereby augmenting the photothermal efficacy of ICG. In systemic applications, the proposed nanotherapeutics exhibited preferential accumulation within tumors and exerted notable tumoricidal effects against 4T1 xenograft tumors under 808 nm near-infrared irradiation, facilitated by prominent near-infrared fluorescence imaging-guided chemo-photothermal therapy. Therefore, our strategy for fabricating multicomponent nanomedicines emerges as a coordinated platform for optimizing antitumor therapeutic efficacy and offers valuable insights for diverse therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
Mild photothermal therapy (PTT) is a spatiotemporally controllable method that utilizes the photothermal effect at relatively low temperatures (40-45 °C) to especially eliminate tumor tissues with negligible side effects on the surrounding normal tissues. However, the overexpression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and limited effect of single treatment drastically impede the therapeutic efficacy. Herein, the constructed multifunctional core-shell structured Ag-Cu@SiO2-PDA/GOx nanoreactors (APG NRs) that provide a dual inhibition of HSP70 strategy for the second near-infrared photoacoustic (NIR-II PA) imaging-guided combined mild PTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The Ag-Cu cores can convert endogenous H2O2 to hydroxyl radical (•OH), which can induce lipid peroxidation (LPO) and further degrade HSP70. The polydopamine (PDA)/glucose oxidase (GOx) shells are utilized as the NIR-II photothermal agent to generate low temperature, and the GOx can reduce the energy supplies and inhibit energy-dependent HSP70 expression. Furthermore, both the generation of •OH and GOx-mediated energy shortage can reduce HSP70 expression to sensitize mild PTT under 1064 nm laser, and in turn, GOx and laser self-amplify the catalytic reactions of APG NRs for more production of •OH. The multifunctional nanoreactors will provide more potential possibilities for the clinical employment of mild PTT and the advancement of tumor combination therapies.

Abstract
Mild photothermal therapy (PTT) shows the potential for chemosensitization by tumor-localized P-glycoprotein (P-gp) modulation. However, conventional mild PTT struggles with real-time uniform temperature control, obscuring the temperature-performance relationship and resulting in thermal damage. Besides, the time-performance relationship and the underlying mechanism of mild PTT-mediated P-gp reversal remains elusive. Herein, we developed a temperature self-limiting lipid nanosystem (RFE@PD) that integrated a reversible organic heat generator (metal-phenolic complexes) and metal chelator (deferiprone, DFP) encapsulated phase change material. Upon NIR irradiation, RFE@PD released DFP for blocking ligand-metal charge transfer to self-limit temperature below 45 °C, and rapidly reduced P-gp within 3 h via Ubiquitin-proteasome degradation. Consequently, the DOX·HCl-loaded thermo-chemotherapeutic lipid nanosystem (RFE@PD-DOX) led to dramatically improved drug accumulation and 5-fold chemosensitization in MCF-7/ADR tumor models by synchronizing P-gp reversal and drug pulse liberation, achieving a tumor inhibition ratio of 82.42%. This lipid nanosystem integrated with "intrinsic temperature-control" and "temperature-responsive pulse release" casts new light on MDR tumor therapy.

Abstract
Lenvatinib resistance (LenR) presents a significant challenge in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment, leading to high cancer-related mortality rates globally. Unlike traditional chemotherapy resistance mechanisms, LenR in HCC is primarily driven by increased cancer cell stemness. Disulfiram, (DSF), functioning as a Cu ionophore, can coordinate with Cu2+ to overcome LenR in HCC by inhibiting cancer cell stemness and cuproptosis. However, DSF faces challenges due to its poor water solubility, while copper ions present issues related to systemic toxicity during widespread use. To address this, DSF and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) were co-encapsulated to form an oil-in-water Pickering emulsion (DSF@CuO), effectively elevating DSF and copper ion concentrations within the tumor microenvironment (TME). DSF@CuO was then combined with sodium alginate (SA) to form a DSF@CuO-SA solution, which gelatinizes in situ with Ca2+ in the TME to form a DSF@CuO Gel, enhancing Pickering emulsion stability and sustaining DSF and copper ion release. A DSF@CuO Gel exhibits enhanced stability and therapeutic efficacy compared to conventional administration methods. It effectively induces mitochondrial dysfunction and cuproptosis in LenR HCC cells by downregulating DLAT, LIAS, and CDKN2A, while upregulating FDX1. Furthermore, it suppresses cancer stemness pathways through activation of the JNK/p38 MAPK pathway and inhibition of the NF-κB and NOTCH signaling pathways. These findings suggest that DSF@CuO Gels are a promising therapeutic strategy for treating LenR HCC. In vivo and in vitro LenR HCC models demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy. In conclusion, this novel approach underscores DSF@CuO Gel's potential to overcome LenR in HCC, offering a novel approach to address this clinical challenge.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a complex etiology and diverse pathological processes. The therapeutic effect of single-target drugs is limited, so simultaneous intervention of multiple targets is gradually becoming a new research trend. Critical stages in AD progression involve amyloid-β (Aβ) self-aggregation, metal-ion-triggered fibril formation, and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, red blood cell membranes (RBC) are used as templates for the in situ growth of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanocrystals. Then, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are encapsulated to form nanocomposites (CQD-Ce-RBC). This strategy is combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) for AD therapy. The application of RBC enhances the materials' biocompatibility and improves immune evasion. RBC-grown CeO2, the first application in the field of AD, demonstrates outstanding antioxidant properties. CQD acts as a chelating agent for copper ions, which prevents the aggregation of Aβ. In addition, the thermal effect induced by near-infrared laser-induced CQD can break down Aβ fibers and improve the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. In vivo experiments on APP/PS1 mice demonstrate that CQD-Ce-RBC combined with PTT effectively clears cerebral amyloid deposits and significantly enhances learning and cognitive abilities, thereby retarding disease progression. This innovative multipathway approach under light-induced conditions holds promise for AD treatment.

Abstract
To investigate the anti-inflammatory and antifungal effects of plumbagin (PL) in Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) keratitis, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), time-killing curve, spore adhesion, crystal violet staining, calcium fluoride white staining, and Propidium Iodide (PI) staining were employed to assess the antifungal activity of PL in vitro against A. fumigatus. The cytotoxicity of PL was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8). The impact of PL on the expression of HMGB1, LOX-1, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and ROS in A. fumigatus keratitis was investigated using RT-PCR, ELISA, Western blot, and Reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay. The therapeutic efficacy of PL against A. fumigatus keratitis was assessed through clinical scoring, plate counting, Immunofluorescence and Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining. Finally, we found that PL inhibited the growth, spore adhesion, and biofilm formation of A. fumigatus and disrupted the integrity of its cell membrane and cell wall. PL decreased IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels while increasing IL-10 expression in fungi-infected mice corneas and peritoneal macrophages. Additionally, PL significantly attenuated the HMGB1/LOX-1 pathway while reversing the promoting effect of Boxb (an HMGB1 agonist) on HMGB1/LOX-1. Moreover, PL decreased the level of ROS. In vivo, clinical scores, neutrophil recruitment, and fungal burden were all significantly reduced in infected corneas treated with PL. In summary, the inflammatory process can be inhibited by PL through the regulation of the HMGB-1/LOX-1 pathway. Simultaneously, PL can exert antifungal effects by limiting fungal spore adhesion and biofilm formation, as well as causing destruction of cell membranes and walls.

Abstract
Transition metal complexes with characteristics of unique packaging in nanoparticles and remarkable cancer cell cytotoxicity have emerged as potential alternatives to platinum-based antitumor drugs. Here we report the synthesis, characterization, and antitumor activities of three new Ruthenium complexes that introduce 5-fluorouracil-derived ligands. Notably, encapsulation of one such metal complex, Ru3, within pluronic® F-127 micelles (Ru3-M) significantly enhanced Ru3 cytotoxicity toward A549 cells by a factor of four. To determine the mechanisms underlying Ru3-M cytotoxicity, additional in vitro experiments were conducted that revealed A549 cell treatment with lysosome-targeting Ru3-M triggered oxidative stress, induced mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, and drastically reduced intracellular ATP levels. Taken together, these results demonstrated that Ru3-M killed cells mainly via a non-apoptotic pathway known as oncosis, as evidenced by observed Ru3-M-induced cellular morphological changes including cytosolic flushing, cell swelling, and cytoplasmic vacuolation. In turn, these changes together caused cytoskeletal collapse and activation of porimin and calpain1 proteins with known oncotic functions that distinguished this oncotic process from other cell death processes. In summary, Ru3-M is a potential anticancer agent that kills A549 cells via a novel mechanism involving Ru(II) complex triggering of cell death via oncosis.

Abstract
Mild-temperature photothermal therapy (mPTT) has shown some advantages over traditional photothermal therapy, such as reducing the damage to surrounding healthy tissues and minimizing side effects. Nevertheless, cancer cells can easily repair damage caused by mild hyperthermia due to heat shock proteins (HSPs). Thus, it is imperative to maximize the mPTT efficiency by down-regulating HSPs overexpression and combining other cancer treatments. Herein, we report the synthesis of phytic acid (PA)-Cu2+ framework/copper sulfide (Cu2-xS) nanocomposites (abbreviated as PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs) as the novel therapeutic platform that can down-regulate HSPs overexpression for enhanced multimodal mPTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/chemotherapy. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs were prepared through self-assembly and in-situ vulcanization strategy, resulting in irregular-shaped particles with an approximate size of 100 nm. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs display a plasmon effect from Cu2-xS, which enhances near-infrared (NIR) absorption and possesses excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (41.7%). Moreover, PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs exhibit Fenton-like reaction activity resulting from the Cu ions for CDT, and the reaction activity can be further improved 1.3 times due to mild hyperthermia during mPTT. Furthermore, the generated hydroxyl radical (•OH) can effectively decrease HSPs level to enhance mPTT. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs can also serve as a drug delivery system, and they are capable of loading doxorubicin (DOX) with a loading ability (20.7%). Combining mPTT/CDT/chemotherapy exhibits significant inhibition of tumor growth. This approach can serve as a basis for designing more exquisite platforms that combine mPTT with other therapies to achieve more effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
Drug resistance is one of the leading causes of treatment failure in current cancer chemotherapy. In addition to the classical drug efflux transporter-mediated chemoresistance, cancer cells with stemness features play a crucial role in escaping the maximum impact of chemotherapy. To sensitize cancer chemotherapy, in a novel approach, the hedgehog pathway inhibitor ellagic acid (EA) is coordinated with Cu2+ to develop nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (EA-Cu), which are then loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and modified with targeted chondroitin sulfate (CS) to form the CS/E-C@DOX nanoplatform (CS/NPs). Notably, EA inhibits stemness maintenance by suppressing the hedgehog pathway, while Cu2+ further decreases stemness features of tumor cells by disrupting mitochondrial metabolism, effectively enhancing DOX-mediated chemotherapy. Meanwhile, EA can act synergistically with Cu2+ to cause mitochondrial dysfunction and cuproptosis, which effectively decreases ATP levels and subsequently suppresses the activity of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), thus reducing drug efflux and sensitizing DOX-mediated chemotherapy. Additionally, the attached CS endows CS/NPs with specific tumor targeting properties, whereas EA-Cu endows this nanoplatform with pH/glutathione (GSH) dual-responsive release behavior. Taken together, CS/NPs exhibited excellent antitumor effects by inducing cuproptosis and significantly inhibiting cancer cell stemness, which has great potential for overcoming cancer chemoresistance.

Abstract
AbstractGraphene quantum dots (GQDs) are biocompatible nanoparticles employed in biomedical field, thanks to their size and photophysical properties. GQDs have shown the capability to cross biological barriers, including the blood–brain barrier, which makes them promising agents for brain diseases therapy. It has been shown that surface-functionalized GQDs enhance membrane fluidity and intracellular uptake, exerting a synergistic effect with antitumor drugs at subtherapeutic doses. Here, we tested GQDs effects in combination with chemotherapeutic agents doxorubicin and temozolomide, on a complex 3D spheroid model of glioblastoma. We observed that the capability of GQDs to absorb and convert near-infrared light into heat is a key factor in membrane permeability enhancement on 3D model. This non-invasive therapeutic strategy named photothermal therapy (PTT), combined to chemotherapy at subtherapeutic doses, significantly increased the effect of antitumor drugs by reducing tumor growth and viability. Furthermore, the increase in membrane permeability due to GQDs-mediated PTT enhanced the release of reactive oxygen species with strong migration of the immune system towards irradiated cancer spheroids. Our data indicate that the increase in membrane permeability can enhance the efficacy of antitumor drugs at subtherapeutic doses against glioblastoma, reducing side effects, and directing immune response, ultimately improving quality of life for patients.

Abstract
Hierarchical carbon nanocages as emerging nanomaterials have a great potential for photothermal therapy due to their unique porous structure, high specific surface area, and excellent photothermal property. Herein, a hierarchical nitrogen-doped carbon nanocage (hNCNC) is introduced as a second near-infrared photothermal agent, and then functionalizes it with metal-organic hydrogel (MOG) to form a thermal-responsive switch for sensitized photothermal therapy. Upon 1064 nm light irradiation, the hNCNCs exhibit a remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency of 65.9% owing to a high near-infrared extinction coefficient. Meanwhile, due to the hierarchical structure, hNCNCs show 60.2% (wt./wt.) loading efficiency of quercetin, a heat shock protein (Hsp70) inhibitor. Through thermal-driven dry-gel transformation, the coating MOGs intelligently release the encapsulated quercetin for sensitizing cancer cells to heat. Based on the synergistic effect of hyperthermia elevation and thermal-driven drug release, the dual thermal utilization platform achieves effective photothermal tumor ablation in vivo under low concentration of hNCNCs and mild irradiation, which provides a new diagram of intelligent responsive photothermal agents for enhanced photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Microwave (MW) thermal therapy has been widely used for the treatment of cancer in clinics, but it still shows limited efficacy and a high recurrence rate owing to non-selective heat delivery and thermo-resistance. Regulating glycolysis shows great promise to improve MW thermal therapy since glycolysis plays an important role in thermo-resistance, progression, metabolism, and recurrence. Herein, we developed a delivery nanosystem of shikonin (SK)-loaded and hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified hollow Fe-MOF (HFM), HFM@SK@HA, as an efficient glycolysis-meditated agent to improve the efficacy of MW thermal therapy. The HFM@SK@HA nanosystem shows a high SK loading capacity of 31.7 wt %. The loaded SK can be effectively released from the HFM@SK@HA under the stimulation of an acidic tumor microenvironment and MW irradiation, overcoming the intrinsically low solubility and severe toxicity of SK. We also find that the HFM@SK@HA can not only greatly improve the heating effect of MW in the tumor site but also mediate MW-enhancing dynamic therapy efficiency by catalyzing the endogenous H2O2 to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). As such, the MW irradiation treatment in the presence of HFM@SK@HA in vitro enables a highly improved anti-tumor efficacy due to the combined effect of released SK and generated ROS on inhibiting glycolysis in cancer cells. Our in vivo experiments show that the tumor inhibition rate is up to 94.75% ± 3.63% with no obvious recurrence during the 2 weeks after treatment. This work provides a new strategy for improving the efficacy of MW thermal therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy (CT) plays an important role in the antitumor process, but the unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy and the obvious toxic side effects of CT seriously restrict its application. To overcome the limitations of CT, the strategy of chemotherapy enhanced by chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) has been considered a promising approach to improve the anticancer effect. Herein, a novel GSH-activatable Cu2+-Quercetin network (QC) was synthesized via a convenient strategy to load Au nanoparticles (NPs) and DOX, named QCDA, for the synergistic therapy of CT/CDT/PTT. The results showed that QCDA exhibited GSH-sensitive degradation and "cargos" release in cancer cells, and then PTT and CDT caused by Au NPs and Cu+ significantly enhanced the CT effect of DOX and Quercetin on anticancer. More importantly, the PTT and depleted GSH accelerated the Fenton-like ionization process resulting in facilitating the CDT efficiency. Collectively, the multi-mode synergistic strategy of CT/CDT/PTT, which showed an excellent therapeutic effect, maybe a potential therapeutic pathway for anticancer.

Abstract
High temperature generated by photothermal therapy (PTT) can trigger an inflammatory response at the tumor site, which not only limits the efficacy of PTT but also increases the risk of tumor metastasis and recurrence. In light of the current limitations posed by inflammation in PTT, several studies have revealed that inhibiting PTT-induced inflammation can significantly improve the efficacy of cancer treatment. In this review, we summarize the research progress made in combining anti-inflammatory strategies to enhance the effectiveness of PTT. The goal is to offer valuable insights for developing better-designed photothermal agents in clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nowadays, Fenton chemistry-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging approach to killing tumor cells by converting endogenous H2 O2 into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). However, the elimination of ·OH by intracellular overexpressed glutathione (GSH) results in unsatisfactory antitumor efficiency. In addition, the single mode of consuming GSH and undesirable drug loading efficiency cannot guarantee the efficient cancer cells killing effect. Herein, a simple one-step strategy for the construction of Fe3+ -naphthazarin metal-phenolic networks (FNP MPNs) with ultrahigh loading capacity, followed by the modification of NH2 -PEG-NH2 , is developed. The carrier-free FNP MPNs can be triggered by acid and GSH, and rapidly release naphthazarin and Fe3+ , which is further reduced to Fe2+ that exerts Fenton catalytic activity to produce abundant ·OH. Meanwhile, the Michael addition between naphthazarin and GSH can lead to GSH depletion and thus achieve tumor microenvironment (TME)-triggered enhanced CDT, followed by activating ferroptosis and apoptosis. In addition, the reduced Fe2+ as a T1 -weighted contrast agent endows the FNP MPNs with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) functionality. Overall, this work is the debut of naphthazarin as ligands to fabricate functional MPNs for effectively depleting GSH, disrupting intracellular redox homeostasis, and enhancing CDT effects, which opens new perspectives on multifunctional MPNs for tumor synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) are a new type of nanomaterial self-assembled by metal ions and polyphenols that have been developed rapidly in recent decades. They have been widely investigated, in the biomedical field, for their environmental friendliness, high quality, good bio-adhesiveness, and bio-compatibility, playing a crucial role in tumor treatment. As the most common subclass of the MPNs family, Fe-based MPNs are most frequently used in chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and phototherapy (PTT), where they are often used as nanocoatings to encapsulate drugs, as well as good Fenton reagents and photosensitizers to improve tumor therapeutic efficiency substantially. In this review, strategies for preparing various types of Fe-based MPNs are first summarized. We highlight the advantages of Fe-based MPNs under the different species of polyphenol ligands for their application in tumor treatments. Finally, some current problems and challenges of Fe-based MPNs, along with a future perspective on biomedical applications, are discussed.

Abstract
Collateral damage to healthy tissue, uneven heat distribution, inflammatory diseases, and tumor metastasis induction hinder the translation of high-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) from bench to practical clinical applications. In this report, a multifunctional gold nanorod (GNR)-based nanosystem was designed by attaching siRNA against B7-H3 (B7-H3si), glucose oxidase (GOx), and hyaluronic acid (HA) for efficient low-temperature PTT. Herein, GOx can not only exhaust glucose to induce starvation therapy but also reduce the heat shock protein (HSP), realizing the ablation of tumors without damage to healthy tissues. Evidence shows that B7-H3, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein molecule, plays essential roles in growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. By initiating the downregulation of B7-H3 by siRNA, siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs may promote the effectiveness of treatment. By targeting cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) and depleting B7-H3 and HSPs sequentially, siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs showed 12.9-fold higher lung distribution than siRNA-GOx/GNR NPs. Furthermore, 50% of A549-bearing mice in the siRNA-GOx/GNR NPs group survived over 50 days. Overall, this low-temperature phototherapeutic nanosystem provides an appropriate strategy for eliminating cancer with high treatment effectiveness and minimal systemic toxicity. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To realize efficient tumor ablation under mild low-temperature (42-45 ℃) and RNA interference simultaneously, here we developed a multifunctional gold nanorod (GNR)-based nanosystem (siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs). This nanoplatform can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis by downregulation of HSP90α, HSP70, B7-H3, p-AKT, and p-ERK and upregulation of cleaved caspase-9 at mild low-temperature due to its superior tumor homing ability and the combined effect of photothermal effect, glucose deprivation-initiated tumor starvation, and B7-H3 gene silence effect. It is believed that this multifunctional low-temperature photothermal nanosystem with efficient and specific anticancer properties, shows a potential application in clinical tumor treatment.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) was reported to induce synergistic immunogenic cell death (ICD) which may convert tumor cells into "therapeutic vaccines". However, this is often insufficient to prevent tumor recurrence, in part because of the immunosuppressive microenvironment in tumors. Therefore, remodeling tumor microenvironment is of great importance to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of PTT. We herein fabricated a versatile nano-photosensitizer by assembling quercetin and Ferrum ion (QFN). The released quercetin from QFN could reduce programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in tumor cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3, and reshape extracellular matrix (ECM) by down-regulating α-SMA+ fibroblast in tumors. Moreover, QFN could capture tumor antigen and deliver it to the tumor-draining lymph nodes after PTT, which further enhanced the activation of antigen-presenting cells. As a result, QFN-based PTT eliminated melanoma and induced long-term immune memory to prevent tumor metastasis and recurrence. This study provides an effective and translationally feasible photothermic agent for photothermal/immunotherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The efficacy of photothermal therapy (PTT) in cancer treatment is often limited by the immunosuppressive microenvironment in tumors. Herein, we prepared a versatile photosensitizer by assembling quercetin and Ferrum ion (QFN). Upon near-infrared light irradiation, QFN-PTT induced cancer cells destruction and tumor antigen release. QFN then captured antigen and delivered it to the tumor-draining lymph nodes, thus promoting dendritic cell maturation and T cells activation. Quercetin released from QFN in tumors improved T cells infiltration and activation in tumor by regulating immunosuppressive microenvironment. The QFN-PTT-treated mice exhibited significantly elongated survival time, and gained strong anti-tumor immune memory to prevent tumor metastasis and recurrence. Thus, this work provided a simple and versatile photothermic agent, and it has important implications for designing effective and translationally feasible photosensitizers for PTT.

Abstract
Phototherapy has been a promising therapeutic modality for pathological tissue due to its spatiotemporal selectivity and non-invasive characteristics. However, as a core component of phototherapy, a single photosensitizer (PS) nanoplatform integrating excellent therapeutic efficiency and minimal side effects remains an urgent but unmet need. Here, we construct a J-aggregated nano-porphyrin termed MTE based on the self-assembly of methyl-pheophorbide a derivative MPa-TEG (MT) and natural polyphenolic compound epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Due to the synergistic interaction between similar large π-conjugated structural EGCG and MT, MTE with small and uniform size is obtained by effectively hindering Ostwald ripening of MT. Noteworthily, MTE not only effectively avoids the inadvertent side effects of phototoxicity during transport thank to the ability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, but also achieves two-pathway augmented superior phototherapy: (1) enhancing photodynamic therapy (PDT) via inhibiting the expression of anti-apoptosis protein surviving; (2) achieving adjuvant mild-temperature laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) via reducing the tumor thermoresistance on account that MTE inhibits the overexpression of HSP 70 and HSP 90. This research not only offers a facile strategy to construct multicomponent nanoplatforms but also provides a new pathway for efficient and low-toxicity phototherapy, which is beneficial to the future clinical application.

Abstract
Conventional photothermal therapy (PTT) irradiates the tumor tissues by elevating the temperature above 48 °C to exert thermal ablation, killing tumor cells. However, thermal ablation during PTT harmfully damages the surrounding normal tissues, post-treatment inflammatory responses, rapid metastasis due to the short-term mass release of tumor-cellular contents, or other side effects. To circumvent this limitation, mild-temperature photothermal therapy (MTPTT) was introduced to replace PTT as it exerts its activity at a therapeutic temperature of 42-45 °C. However, the significantly low therapeutic effect comes due to the thermoresistance of cancer cells as MTPTT figures out some of the side-effects issues. Herein, our current review suggested the mechanism and various strategies for improving the efficacy of MTPTT. Especially, heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones overexpressed in tumor cells and implicated in several cellular heat shock responses. Therefore, we introduced some methods to inhibit activity, reduce expression levels, and hinder the function of HSPs during MTPTT treatment. Moreover, other strategies also were emphasized, including nucleus damage, energy inhibition, and autophagy mediation. In addition, some therapies, like radiotherapy, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy, exhibited a significant synergistic effect to assist MTPTT. Our current review provides a basis for further studies and a new approach for the clinical application of MTPTT.

Abstract
With the continuous development of nanobiotechnology in recent years, combining photothermal materials with nanotechnology for tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) has drawn many attentions nanomedicine research. Although nanomaterial-mediated PTT is more specific and targeted than traditional treatment modalities, hyperthermia can also damage normal cells. Therefore, researchers have proposed the concept of low-temperature PTT, in which the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is inhibited. In this article, the research strategies proposed in recent years based on the inhibition of HSPs expression to achieve low-temperature PTT was reviewed. Folowing this, the synthesis, properties, and applications of these nanomaterials were introduced. In addition, we also summarized the problems of nanomaterial-mediated low-temperature PTT at this stage and provided an outlook on future research directions.

Abstract
The elevation of antioxidant defense systems by adaptation response to localized reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation may confer resistance to excessive oxidative stress and cause therapeutic lethality. Herein, a highly effective tumor therapy is developed through perturbation in cellular redox homeostasis. Specifically, metal-ion-assisted oxidation polymerization of the melanin precursor (l-DOPA) whose carboxyl groups exert a charge-shielding effect leads to the formation of catechol-rich but quinone-deficient nanoparticles (NPs). These NPs possess appreciable ROS-scavenging ability, and particularly the raised quinone group levels in oxidized products can then trigger subsequent depletion of antioxidative species (GSH) and, in turn, the redox-cycle consumption of catechol/quinone groups. After incubating with cells, varying degrees of redox-state and energy metabolism fluctuations with time (∼6 h) are observed, where ROS/GSH levels rebound to a maximum peak (up to ∼280%) higher than the normal redox state after hitting the bottom within a short time (1 h). Notably, systematically triggered redox stress response can sensitize cells to an extremely endangered metastable state. The synergy of temporally photoactivated thermal stress can produce overwhelming oxidative stress, thus leading to significant inhibition of cancer cells. This work established a new paradigm of redox perturbator-based programed and combined cancer therapy.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is one of the most serious physiological conditions threatening human health. There is an increasing demand for more effective bacterial diagnosis and treatment through non-invasive approaches. Among current antibacterial strategies of non-invasive approaches, photothermal antibacterial therapy (PTAT) has pronounced advantages with properties of minor damage to normal tissue and little chance to trigger antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, we developed a fast and simple strategy that integrated the sensitive detection and photothermal therapy of bacteria by measuring adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence following targeted photothermal lysis. First, 3-azido-d-alanine (d-AzAla) is selectively integrated into the cell walls of bacteria, photosensitizer dibenzocyclooctyne, and double sulfonic acid-modified indocyanine green (sulfo-DBCO-ICG) are subsequently designed to react with the modified bacteria through in vivo click chemistry. Next, the sulfo-DBCO-ICG modified bacteria under irradiation of 808 nm near-infrared laser was immediately detected by ATP bioluminescence following targeted photothermal lysis and even the number of bacteria on the infected tissue can be significantly reduced through PTAT. This method has demonstrated the ability to detect the presence of the bacteria for ATP value in 32 clinical samples. As a result, the ATP value over of 100 confirmed the presence of bacteria in clinical samples for 22 patients undergoing craniotomy and ten otitis media patients. Overall, this study paves a brand new avenue to facile diagnosis and a treatment platform for clinical bacterial infections.

Low-temperature photothermal irradiation triggers alkyl radicals burst for potentiating cancer immunotherapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 614:436-450.

Abstract
Although low-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) can sensitize tumors to immune checkpoint inhibition, its efficacy is still restricted in the deep and internal tumors without enough oxygen and lymphocytic infiltration. Non-oxygen-dependent alkyl radicals have been demonstrated to synergistically enhance PTT through up-regulating lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, an innovative strategy based on alkyl radicals to augment immunogenetic cell death (ICD) caused by mild PTT was proposed to improve poor efficacy of immunotherapy, which composed of a photothermal material of Chinse ink, an azo-initiator of 2,2-azobis[2-(2-imidazoline-2-acyl)propane]dihydrochloride (AIPH) and a PD-L1 inhibitor of HY19991 (HY). Upon near-infrared-II laser irradiation, low-temperature (<45℃) stimulation induced a high expression of immune checkpoint receptor (PD-L1) in tumors and triggered a large amount alkyl radicals generated by AIPH. Significantly, the alkyl radicals augmented the ICD and increased the recruitment of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes against tumors after transformation of the immunologically cold tumor microenvironment into hot by mild PTT. The released HY further enhanced the immunotherapy effect by blocking the binding of activated T lymphocytes and PD-L1. In vivo studies exhibited that the all-in-one hydrogel with synergistic mechanisms had an extraordinary ability to reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment, stimulate innate and adaptive immune responses to eliminate tumors and prevent metastasis.

Abstract
The development of robust phototherapeutic strategies for eradicating tumors remains a significant challenge in the transfer of cancer phototherapy to clinical practice. Here, a phototherapeutic nanococktail atovaquone/17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin/glyco-BODIPY (ADB) was developed to enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) via alleviation of hypoxia and thermal resistance that was constructed using supramolecular self-assembly of glyco-BODIPY (BODIPY-SS-LAC, BSL-1), hypoxia reliever atovaquone (ATO), and heat shock protein inhibitor 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG). Benefiting from a glyco-targeting and glutathione (GSH) responsive units BSL-1, ADB can be rapidly taken up by hepatoma cells, furthermore the loaded ATO and 17-DMAG can be released in original form into the cytoplasm. Using in vitro and in vivo results, it was confirmed that ADB enhanced the synergetic PDT and PTT upon irradiation using 685 nm near-infrared light (NIR) under a hypoxic tumor microenvironment where ATO can reduce O2 consumption and 17-DMAG can down-regulate HSP90. Moreover, ADB exhibited good biosafety, and tumor eradication in vivo. Hence, this as-developed phototherapeutic nanococktail overcomes the substantial obstacles encountered by phototherapy in tumor treatment and offers a promising approach for the eradication of tumors.

Abstract
Mild-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) is being extensively explored because it causes less injury to normal cells. However, the effect of mild-temperature PTT is decreased because of heat shock protein (HSP) overexpression. To solve this problem, we designed functional conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs-G) that enhance the mild-temperature photothermal effect. Upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, CPNs-G generate local heat to realize the photothermal effect. Meanwhile, the increased temperature enhances the catalytic activity of GOx, thus impeding the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and inhibiting HSP expression. Therefore, this work provides a strategy for overcoming thermoresistance through an enzyme-mediated starvation effect regulated by NIR light.

Abstract
Nowadays, destruction of redox homeostasis to induce cancer cell death is an emerging anti-cancer strategy. Here, the authors utilized pH-sensitive acetalated β-cyclodextrin (Ac-β-CD) to efficiently deliver dihydroartemisinin (DHA) for tumor ferroptosis therapy and chemodynamic therapy in a synergistic manner. The Ac-β-CD-DHA based nanoparticles are coated by an iron-containing polyphenol network. In response to the tumor microenvironment, Fe2+ /Fe3+ can consume glutathione (GSH) and trigger the Fenton reaction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), leading to the generation of lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS). Meanwhile, the OO bridge bonds of DHA are also disintegrated to enable ferroptosis of cancer cells. Their results demonstrate that these nanoparticles acted as a ROS generator to break the redox balance of cancer cells, showing an effective anticancer efficacy, which is different from traditional approaches.

Abstract
Camptothecin (CPT) is a potent broad-spectrum antitumor agent with efficient therapeutic effect for various cancers. However, its application in glioma therapy has been impeded by the tumor immunosuppressive environment and blood-brain barrier (BBB)-associated drug delivery challenges. Herein, neurotransmitter analogs-modified liposomes (NTs-LIP) were prepared by doping lipidized tryptamine (Tryp) to co-deliver CPT and curcumin (CUR) for improved chemo-immunotherapy in glioma. The introduction of Tryp promotes the delivery efficiency of CPT and CUR across the BBB. CPT inhibits cell proliferation after cellular uptake of NTs-LIP, the combination of which with CUR downregulates the elevated expression of the programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) caused by CPT to prevent the inactivation of T-cells and synergistically enhance chemo-immunotherapy efficacy. Furthermore, both Tryp and CUR interfere with the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) pathway to reduce regulatory T cell (Treg)-mediated immunosuppression, exhibiting the potential to combine with PD-L1 inhibition for synergistic antitumor immunity. Taken together, this platform contributes towards targeted delivery and alleviation of the immunosuppressive environment in glioma therapy.

Abstract
Most of the antitumor chemotherapeutic drugs execute the therapeutic performance upon eliciting tumor cell apoptosis, which may cause chemoresistance of tumors. Design of novel drugs to eradicate apoptosis-resistant tumors via non-apoptotic cell death pathways is promising for improving the long-term chemotherapeutic efficacy. Herein, a Fe(III)-Shikonin metal-polyphenol-coordinated supramolecular nanomedicine for combined therapy of tumor via ferroptosis and necroptosis is designed. The construction of the nanomedicine based on the coordinated self-assembly between Fe3+ and Shikonin not only overcomes the shortcomings of Shikonin including its low bioavailability and high toxicity toward normal tissues, but also integrates the theranostics functions of Fe ions. Under the exposure of the high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells, the as-prepared nanomedicine will disassemble into Fe2+ and Shikonin, followed by stimulating the tumor cell death through ferroptosis and necroptosis. In addition, benefiting from the stealth effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and the targeting ability of cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Phe-Lys) (cRGD) to αv β3 -integrin, NH2 -PEG-cRGD-modified nanomedicine exhibits a GSH-responsive therapy toward 4T1 tumor in vivo and self-enhanced longitudinal relaxation (T1 )-weighted imaging property. Since the self-assembly of natural Shikonin and human body-necessary Fe element is facile and feasible, the work may provide a promising supramolecular nanomedicine for next-generation chemotherapeutic applications.

Abstract
Mitochondria, a kind of subcellular organelle, play crucial roles in cancer cells as an energy source and as a generator of reactive substrates, which concern the generation, proliferation, drug resistance, and other functions of cancer. Therefore, precise delivery of anticancer agents to mitochondria can be a novel strategy for enhanced cancer treatment. Mitochondria have a four-layer structure with a high negative potential, which thereby prevents many molecules from reaching the mitochondria. Luckily, the advances in nanosystems have provided enormous hope to overcome this challenge. These nanosystems include liposomes, nanoparticles, and nanomicelles. Here, we summarize the very latest developments in mitochondria-targeting nanomedicines in cancer treatment as well as focus on designing multifunctional mitochondria-targeting nanosystems based on the latest nanotechnology.

Of note, mild temperature PTT (mPTT) of 42–45 °C could avoid treatment bottleneck of the traditional PTT, including nonspecific injury to normal tissues, vasculature and host antitumor immunity. However, cancer cells can resist mPTT via heat shock response and autophagy, thus leading to insufficient mPTT monotherapy to ablate tumor. To overcome the deficient antitumor efficacy caused by thermo-resistance of cancer cells and mono mPTT, synergistic therapies towards cancer cells have been conducted with mPTT. This review summarizes the recent advances in nanomedicine-potentiated mPTT for cancer treatment, including strategies for enhanced single-mode mPTT and mPTT plus synergistic therapies. Moreover, challenges and prospects for clinical translation of nanomedicine-potentiated mPTT are discussed.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), in moderate amounts, play an essential role in regulating different physiological functions in organisms. However, increased amounts of ROS may cause oxidative stress and damage to biomolecules, leading to a variety of diseases including inflammation and even cancer. Therefore, ROS scavenging reagents are needed to maintain healthy levels of ROS. With considerable advances in nanotechnology, nanozymes possess SOD or CAT-like activities with outstanding free radical scavenging activity, facile synthesis conditions, and excellent biocompatibility. Based on these extraordinary properties, nanozymes has been used to modulate the redox homeostasis and relieve the ROS-related injury. This has led to the emergence of nanozyme-based therapies. In the current review, we presented recently developed applications of nanozymes to treat ROS-dependent disorders with an emphasis on inflammatory and brain diseases.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The primary treatment for CRC is surgical resection, along with chemotherapy in more advanced or inoperable cases. There is a growing interest to complement both curative and palliative treatment with immunotherapies such as the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and PD-ligand 1 (PDL1) checkpoint inhibitors and transforming growth factor (TGF) β inhibitors. However, the clinical outcomes of current immunotherapeutic strategies are limited by tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. Nanomedicine-based photothermal therapy (PTT) has shown encouraging results for solid tumor ablation. Herein, we designed and synthesized gold nanocages functionalized with primary macrophage membrane and surface anti-PDL1 antibody, and loaded with a TGFβ inhibitor, galunisertib. The GNC-Gal@CMaP nanocomposites achieved low-temperature PTT and immunogenic cell death, which subsequently enhanced the anti-tumor efficacy of anti-PDL1 antibody and galunisertib via activation of antigen-presenting cells that primed tumor-specific effector T cells. This study provides experimental proof for a combination of immunotherapy and PTT against CRC. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) with immunotherapy can achieve an inherently synergistic anti-tumor effect. Here we integrated low-temperature PTT, PDL1 antibody and TGF-β inhibitor in hollow gold nanocage nanocomposites (GNC-Gal@CMaP) that selectively targeted colon cancer cells and accumulated in the tumor microenvironment. The GNC-Gal@CMaP nanocomposites achieved low-temperature PTT and immunogenic cell death, which subsequently enhanced the anti-tumor efficacy of anti-PDL1 antibody and galunisertib via activation of antigen-presenting cells that primed tumor-specific effector T cells. This study provides experimental proof for a combination of immunotherapy and PTT against CRC.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease. Repairing damaged nerves and promoting nerve regeneration are key ways to relieve AD symptoms. However, due to the lack of effective strategies to deliver nerve growth factor (NGF) to the brain, achieving neuron regeneration is a major challenge for curing AD. Herein, a ROS-responsive ruthenium nanoplatform (R@NGF-Se-Se-Ru) drug delivery system for AD management by promoting neuron regeneration and Aβ clearance was investigated. Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, nanoclusters have good photothermal properties, which can effectively inhibit the aggregation of Aβ and disaggregate Aβ fibrils. Interestingly, the diselenide bond in the nanoclusters is broken, and the nanoclusters are degraded into small ruthenium nanoparticles in the high reactive oxygen species (ROS) environment of the diseased area. Besides, NGF can promote neuronal regeneration and repair damaged nerves. Furthermore, R@NGF-Se-Se-Ru efficiently crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) owing to the covalently grafted target peptides of RVG (R). In vivo studies demonstrate that R@NGF-Se-Se-Ru nanoclusters decrease Aβ deposits, inhibit Aβ-induced cytotoxicity, and promote neurite outgrowth. The study confirms that promoting both Aβ clearance and neuron regeneration is an important therapeutic target for anti-AD drugs and provides a novel insight for AD therapy.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction, which is directly involved in Parkinson's disease (PD), is characterized by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and aberrant energy metabolism. Thus, regulating mitochondrial function might be an effective strategy to treat PD. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents a significant challenge for the intracerebral delivery of drugs. Here, we synthesized a zeolitic imidazolate framework 8-coated Prussian blue nanocomposite (ZIF-8@PB), which was encapsulated with quercetin (QCT), a natural antioxidant, to treat PD. ZIF-8@PB-QCT exhibited superior near-infrared radiation (NIR) response and penetrated through the BBB to the site of mitochondrial damage guided by the photothermal effect. In the mice model of PD, the QCT released from ZIF-8@PB-QCT significantly increased the adenosine triphosphate levels, reduced the oxidative stress levels, and reversed dopaminergic neuronal damage as well as PD-related behavioral deficits without any damage to the normal tissues. Furthermore, we explored the underlying neuroprotective mechanism of ZIF-8@PB-QCT that was mediated by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Thus, combined with noninvasive NIR radiation, the biocompatible ZIF-8@PB-QCT nanocomposite could be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Metal-coordinated supramolecular nanoassemblies have recently attracted extensive attention as materials for cancer theranostics. Owing to their unique physicochemical properties, metal-coordinated supramolecular self-assemblies can bridge the boundary between traditional inorganic and organic materials. By tailoring the structural components of the metal ions and binding ligands, numerous multifunctional theranostic nanomedicines can be constructed. Metal-coordinated supramolecular nanoassemblies can modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus facilitating the development of TME-responsive nanomedicines. More importantly, TME-responsive organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials can be constructed in vivo by exploiting the metal-coordinated self-assembly of a variety of functional ligands, which is a promising strategy for enhancing the tumor accumulation of theranostic molecules. In this review, recent advancements in the design and fabrication of metal-coordinated supramolecular nanomedicines for cancer theranostics are highlighted. These supramolecular compounds are classified according to the order in which the coordinated metal ions appear in the periodic table. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of metal-coordinated supramolecular self-assemblies for both technical advances and clinical translation are discussed. In particular, the superiority of TME-responsive nanomedicines for in vivo coordinated self-assembly is elaborated, with an emphasis on strategies that enhance the accumulation of functional components in tumors for an ideal theranostic outcome.

Abstract
Locoregional drug delivery has emerged as a promising solution to the problems associated with intravenously administered antitumor agents, such as systemic toxicity and insufficient drug accumulation at tumor sites. Herein, we have developed an adhesive nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery system, using natural bioadhesive tannic acid (TA) and metal ions (Fe3+), for locoregional photothermal and antiangiogenic synergistic cancer therapy. In this study, a new near-infrared (NIR) photothermal agent indocyanine green (IR820) and an antiangiogenic agent sorafenib (SRF) were co-encapsulated in a TA-Fe complex (SIF@TA-Fe). The SIF@TA-Fe NPs exhibited super adhesion, antiangiogenesis, and efficient cellular uptake. Moreover, SIF@TA-Fe NPs showed a synergistic antitumor effect in vivo, including high tumor inhibition rate, excellent survival extension, and low risk of recurrence, resulting from the prolonged retention of the NPs in the tumor. Thus, this adhesive SIF@TA-Fe NP-based therapeutic system provides a promising approach for locoregional drug delivery of combined cancer therapy.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent type of primary liver cancer, and is ranked the sixth most common neoplasm and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Photothermal therapy (PTT) for thermal ablation of local tumors has recently emerged as a therapeutic strategy. However, the relatively high temperature of over 50 °C may lead to unexpected heat-related damage to tumor-adjacent normal tissues. Herein, we designed and synthesized ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibitor loaded hollow-structured CuS NPs with surface modification with anti-TGF-β antibody (CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs are highly photo-stable, can release encapsulated drugs, and increase the temperature to an effective level in a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive manner. Moreover, CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs specifically target tumors and thereby significantly inhibit tumor growth on contribution to synergistic low-temperature PTT and chemotherapy. This system not only achieved low-temperature PTT but also resulted in reduced damage to normal tissues. Modification with anti-TGF-β antibody enhanced target specificity and immune activation. The combination of PTT and ATM inhibitor showed synergistic effects and significantly attenuated the growth of the HCC via down regulation of heat shock protein (HSP). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs are a highly promising platform for targeted tumor ablation via hyperthermia-mediated tumor death with minimal damage to normal tissues at a low temperature. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We constructed ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibitor-loaded hollow-structured CuS NPs with surface modification with anti-TGF-β antibody (CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs). CuS-ATMi@TGF-β NPs not only achieved low-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) but also resulted in reduced damage to normal tissues and sufficient biocompatibility. The modification with anti-TGF-β antibody enhanced targeted specificity, cell endocytosis, and immune activation. In addition, the combination of PTT and ATM inhibitor synergistically attenuated the growth of the HCC via downregulation of heat shock protein (HSP). This study provided proof-of-concept for the ATM inhibitor that mediated low-temperature PTT with a potential for future clinical applications.
