Food Chem 2024; 460:140688. [PMID: 39089027 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140688] [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: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
As the contamination and enrichment in food chain of levofloxacin (LV) antibiotics have caused a significant threat to life safety, the instant detection of LV has become an urgent need. Here, a PDI-functionalized imine-based covalent organic framework (PDI-COF300) was prepared by the electrostatic self-assembly method as fluorescent probe for smartphone visual detection of LV, which exhibited excellent fluorescence quantum yield (82.68%), greater stability, high sensitivity with detection limit of 0.303 μM. Based on the results of molecular docking and Stern-Volmer equation, the LV detection by PDI-COF300 was mainly a static quenching process through π-π stacked hydrophobic interactions and fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Besides, PDI-COF300 was applied to LV detection in environmental medium and milk samples with recoveries from 85.56% to 108.34% and relative standard deviations <2.70%. This work also provided a new general strategy for using PDI-COF in smartphone devices and fluorescent papers for LV fluorescence detection and microanalysis.

Abstract
Intrinsic or acquired resistance to chemical drugs severely limits their therapeutic efficacy in cancer treatment. Various intracellular antioxidant molecules, particularly glutathione (GSH), play a crucial role in maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis by mitigating the overproduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to rapid cell proliferation. Notably, these antioxidants also eliminate chemical-drug-induced ROS, eventually diminishing their cytotoxicity and rendering them less effective. In this study, we combined erastin, a GSH biosynthesis inhibitor, with 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine 5'-monophosphate sodium salt (FdUMP), an ROS-based drug, to effectively disrupt intracellular redox homeostasis and reverse chemotherapy resistance. Therefore, efficient ferroptosis and apoptosis were simultaneously induced for enhanced antitumor effects. Additionally, we employed small interfering RNA targeting PD-L1 (siPD-L1) as a third agent to block immune-checkpoint recognition by CD8+ T cells. The highly immunogenic cell peroxidates or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) induced by erastin acted synergistically with downregulated PD-L1 to enhance the antitumor effects. To codeliver these three drugs simultaneously and efficiently, we designed GE11 peptide-modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) containing calcium phosphate cores to achieve high encapsulation efficiencies. In vitro studies verified its enhanced cytotoxicity, efficient intracellular ROS induction and GSH/GPX4 downregulation, substantial lipid peroxidation product accumulation, and mitochondrial depolarization. In vivo, this formulation effectively accumulated at tumor sites and achieved significant tumor inhibition in subcutaneous colon cancer (CRC) mouse models with a maximum tumor inhibition rate of 83.89% at a relatively low dose. Overall, a strategy to overcome clinical drug resistance was verified in this study by depleting GSH and activating adaptive immunity.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for cellular signaling. Various pathophysiological conditions are also associated with elevated levels of ROS. Hence, ROS-sensitive triggers have been extensively used for selective payload delivery. Such applications are predicated on two key functions: (1) a sufficient magnitude of concentration difference for the interested ROS between normal tissue/cells and intended sites and (2) appropriate reaction kinetics to ensure a sufficient level of selectivity for payload release. Further, ROS refers to a group of species with varying reactivity, which should not be viewed as a uniform group. In this review, we critically analyze data on the concentrations of different ROS species under various pathophysiological conditions and examine how reaction kinetics affect the success of ROS-sensitive linker chemistry. Further, we discuss different ROS linker chemistry in the context of their applications in drug delivery and imaging. This review brings new insights into research in ROS-triggered delivery, highlights factors to consider in maximizing the chance for success and discusses pitfalls to avoid.

Abstract
Foreseen as foundational in forthcoming oncology interventions are multimodal therapeutic systems. Nevertheless, the tumor microenvironment (TME), marked by heightened glucose levels, hypoxia, and scant concentrations of endogenous hydrogen peroxide could potentially impair their effectiveness. In this research, two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets are engineered with CeO2 nanozymes and glucose oxidase (GOD), optimizing them for TME, specifically targeting cancer therapy. Following our therapeutic design, CeO2 nanozymes, embodying both peroxidase-like and catalase-like characteristics, enable transformation of H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals for catalytic therapy while also producing oxygen to mitigate hypoxia. Concurrently, GOD metabolizes glucose, thereby augmenting H2O2 levels and disrupting the intracellular energy supply. When subjected to a near-infrared laser, 2D Ti3C2 MXene accomplishes photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), additionally amplifying cascade catalytic treatment via thermal enhancement. Empirical evidence demonstrates robust tumor suppression both in vitro and in vivo by the CeO2/Ti3C2-PEG-GOD nanocomposite. Consequently, this integrated approach, which combines PTT/PDT and enzymatic catalysis, could offer a valuable blueprint for the development of advanced oncology therapies.

Abstract
In this study, we present the development of an electrochemical sensor designed for ultrasensitive detection of endogenous H2O2. This sensor relies on signal amplification achieved through nanozyme activity exhibited by methylene blue (MB) grafted onto a peptide support. The sensor exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity, with a limit of detection of 18 nM and a linear detection range of 20-200 nM. Thus, we have validated the concept of the MB-peptide system, serving as both an electroactive label and a catalyst for H2O2 decomposition under electrochemical conditions. The implemented signal amplification system enables the rapid detection of H2O2, with an overall assay time of 1-2 min, a significant improvement compared to amperometric detection using surface-immobilized enzymes.

Abstract
The early and non-invasive diagnosis of tumor diseases has been widely investigated by the scientific community focusing on the development of sensors/biomarkers that act as a way of recognizing the adhesion of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). As a challenge in this area, strategies for CTCs capture and enrichment currently require improvements in the sensors/biomarker's selectivity. This can be achieved by understanding the biological recognition factors for different cancer cell lines and also by understanding the interaction between surface parameters and the affinity between macromolecules and the cell surface. To overcome some of these concerns, electrochemical sensors have been used as precise, fast-response, and low-cost transduction platforms for application in cytosensors. Additionally, distinct materials, geometries, and technologies have been investigated to improve the sensitivity and specificity properties of the support electrode that will transform biochemical events into electrical signals. This review identifies novel approaches regarding the application of different specific biomarkers (CD44, Integrins, and EpCAm) for capturing CTCs. These biomarkers can be applied in electrochemical biosensors as a cytodetection strategy for diagnosis of cancerous diseases.

Abstract
RNA-cleaving DNAzymes hold great promise as gene silencers, and spatiotemporal control of their activity through site-specific reactions is crucial but challenging for on-demand therapy. We herein report a novel design of a bioorthogonally inducible DNAzyme that is deactivated by site-specific installation of bioorthogonal caging groups on the designated backbone sites but restores the activity via a phosphine-triggered Staudinger reduction. We perform a systematical screening for installing the caging groups on each backbone site in the catalytic core of 10-23 DNAzyme and identify an inducible DNAzyme with very low leakage activity. This design is demonstrated to achieve bioorthogonally controlled cleavage of exogenous and endogenous mRNA in live cells. It is further extended to photoactivation and endogenous stimuli activation for spatiotemporal or targeted control of gene silencing. The bioorthogonally inducible DNAzyme is applied to a triple-negative breast cancer mouse model using a lipid nanoparticle delivery system, demonstrating high efficiency in knockdown of Lcn2 oncogenes and substantial suppression of tumor growth, thus highlighting the potential of precisely controlling the DNAzyme functions for on-demand gene therapy.

Abstract
A microfluidic gradient array is a widely used screening and analysis device, which has characteristics of high efficiency, high automation, and low consumption. Bipolar electrode electrochemiluminescence (BPE-ECL) has special value in microfluidic array chips. The combination of the microfluidic gradient and BPE arrays has potential for high-throughput screening. In this article, a microfluidic BPE array chip for gradient culture and conditional screening of cancer cells was designed. The generation of concentration gradients, continuous culture of cancer cells with high throughput, and drug screening through BPE-ECL of the Ru(bpy)32+/TPrA system can be performed in one chip. We tested gradient pro-oxidation of MCF-7 by ascorbic acid and the synergistic effect of pro-oxidation on doxorubicin. The method achieves high analysis efficiency through a BPE array while simplifying the tedious procedures required by cell culture methods.

Abstract
The hypoxia microenvironment of solid tumors poses a technological bottleneck for ferroptosis and immunotherapy in clinical oncology. Nanoreactors based on special physiological signals in tumor cells are able to avoid various tumor tolerance mechanisms by alleviating the intracellular hypoxia environment. Herein we reported a nanoreactor Cu2-xSe that enabled the conversion of Cu elements between Cu+ and Cu2+ for the generation of O2 and the consumption of intracellular GSH content. Furthermore, to enhance the catalytic and ferroptosis-inducing activities of the nanoreactors, the ferroptosis agonist Erastin was loaded on the ZIF-8 coating on the surface of Cu2-xSe to up-regulate the expression of NOX4 protein, increase the intracellular H2O2 content, catalyze the Cu+ to produce O2 and activate ferroptosis. In addition, the nanoreactors were simultaneously surface functionalized with PEG polymer and folic acid molecules, which ensured the in vivo blood circulation and tumor-specific uptake. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the functionalized self-supplying nanoreactors can amplify the ability to generate O2 and consume intracellular GSH via the interconversion of Cu elements Cu+ and Cu2+, and impair the GPX4/GSH pathway and HIF-1α protein expression. At the same time, by alleviating the intracellular hypoxia environment, the expression of miR301, a gene in the secreted exosomes was decreased, which ultimately affected the phenotype polarization of TAMs and increased the content of IFN γ secreted by CD8+ T cells, which further promoted the ferroptosis induced by Erastin-loaded nanoreactors. This combined therapeutic strategy of activating the tumor immune response and ferroptosis via self-supplying nanoreactors provides a potential strategy for clinical application.

Abstract
Hematogenous metastasis is the main route of cancer spreading, causing majority death of cancer patients. During this process, platelets in the blood are found increasingly essential to promote hematogenous metastasis by forming platelet-interacted circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Hence, we aim to fabricate an integrated method for the availability of capture and detection of such invasive CTCs. Specifically, a new form of channeled and conductive three-dimensional (3D) electrode is constructed by modifying a conductive layer and capture antibody on the templated and channeled poly(dimethylsiloxane) scaffold. The modified antibody enables the capture of the platelet-interacted CTC hybrid, while the conductive layer significantly facilitates electron transfer from electro-active signal molecules that are targeting platelets. Therefore, sensitive electrochemical detection of platelet-interacted CTCs has been realized. Efficient capture and sensitive detection have been demonstrated by this work. Additionally, dynamic analysis of patients' CTCs has also been conducted to provide accurate information about disease assessment and efficacy evaluation. The cut-off line was set as 5.15 nA based on the sample signals from healthy volunteers. Thus, stage III cancer patients with high risk of hematogenous metastasis have been identified. Together, this work shows the development of a new strategy for simultaneous capture and detection of the invasive CTC subtype form patient blood, which favors precise monitoring of hematogenous metastasis.

Abstract
Conventional organic photothermal conversion reagents still face some challenges for their real applications, such as the requirement of carriers for in vivo transport, uncontrolled degradation during use, reduction in photothermal conversion efficiency by repeated exposure to a near-infrared laser, and so on. Herein, uniform ZIF-8 nanoparticles were prepared first, and then carbonized and etched to form porous carbon nanoparticles (CNPs). After loading an NO donor and wrapping with red blood cell membrane, the novel CNP-NO@RBC photothermal agent integrated with in situ imaging ability was obtained. Due to the great photothermal conversion efficiency of the carbon material and the specific release of NO from the loaded NO conformer, the CNP-NO@RBCs show excellent tumour cell killing ability based on light-triggered photothermal/gas therapy at lower doses of CNP-NO@RBCs.

Abstract
The use of ethanol blending for gasoline has been found to have a significant effect in reducing emissions without any loss in the performance of a spark ignition engine. However, an increase in the emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) may be seen due to the increased oxygen content in the fuel. On the contrary, emulsifying fuel with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has shown a substantial effect in reducing all the emissions, including NOx in a compression ignition (CI) engine. In this study, 10% ethanol is blended with gasoline (E10) and further emulsified with H2O2 up to 1.5%. When compared to neat gasoline, a 4.8% increase in brake thermal efficiency (BTE) is obtained with 10% ethanol and 1.5% H2O2. The corresponding average decrease in the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and NOx were 80%, 43%, and 17%, respectively. The results of the experimental trials are used to model an artificial neural network (ANN) to derive a relationship between the input factors of ethanol concentration, H2O2 concentration, and engine speeds with the output responses of BTE, CO, HC, and NOx. The ANN models of each response are optimized using a multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) for maximizing BTE and minimizing emissions of CO, HC, and NOx. The PSO results showed that operating the engine at 2000 rpm using ethanol blending between 4 and 6% and H2O2 emulsification of 1.5% are the best optimal conditions.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common new cancer case and the second most fatal malignancy in men. Surgery, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main clinical treatment options for PCa. However, most prostate cancers can develop into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and due to the invasiveness of prostate cancer cells, they become resistant to different treatments and activate tumor-promoting signaling pathways, thereby inducing chemoresistance, radioresistance, ADT resistance, and immune resistance. Nanotechnology, which can combine treatment with diagnostic imaging tools, is emerging as a promising treatment modality in prostate cancer therapy. Nanoparticles can not only promote their accumulation at the pathological site through passive targeting techniques for enhanced permeability and retention (EPR), but also provide additional advantages for active targeting using different ligands. This property results in a reduced drug dose to achieve the desired effect, a longer duration of action within the tumor and fewer side effects on healthy tissues. In addition, nanotechnology can create good synergy with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, thermotherapy, photodynamic therapy and gene therapy to enhance their therapeutic effects with greater scope, and reduce the resistance of prostate cancer. In this article, we intend to review and discuss the latest technologies regarding the use of nanomaterials as therapeutic and diagnostic tools for prostate cancer.

Abstract
Herein, a flower-shaped fluorescent probe was proposed for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and levofloxacin (LVF) sensing based on MoOx QDs@Co/Zn-MOFs with porous structure. Both MoOx QDs and Co/Zn-MOFs exhibited peroxidase-like properties, and the combination of them greatly aroused the synergistic catalytic capabilities between them. In o-Phenylenediamine (OPD)-H2O2 system, MoOx QDs@Co/Zn-MOFs efficiently catalyzed H2O2 to produce •OH and then oxidized OPD to its oxidation product (OxOPD). The OxOPD could not only emit blue fluorescence, but also inhibit the fluorescent intensity of MoOx QDs through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Moreover, when introducing LVF into the system, the fluorescent intensities of MoOx QDs increased along with the aggregation of themselves while that of OxOPD remained unchanged, which was explained by the joint behavior of FRET and photo-induced electron transfer (PET) instead of the conventional aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE). With these observation, the proposed probe was employed for H2O2 and LVF determination in biological samples with the limit of detection (LOD) of 32.60 pmol/L and 0.85 μmol/L, respectively, suggesting the method holds great promises for trace H2O2 and LVF monitoring in eco-environment.

Abstract
Metastasis is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Hence, the discovery of more reliable metastasis-related biomarkers is crucial to improve the survival rate of cancer patients. W3 is an aptamer previously produced by the subtractive cell-SELEX using metastatic colorectal cancer cells as target cells and non-metastatic cells as negative cells. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the target molecule of W3 can potentially act as a metastatic biomarker. First, we obtained two cell subpopulations with different expression levels of the target molecule by W3-based cell sorting. Subsequently, we demonstrated that W3high cells have a higher metastatic potential than W3low cells both in vitro and in vivo. Further, immunohistochemical analysis revealed that W3 target expression is positively associated with metastasis and poor prognosis of CRC patients. Using mass spectrometry (MS) combined with pull-down, we identified that Ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2) is the target of W3. EphA2's potential as a metastatic predictor was demonstrated by capturing W3-positive circulating tumor cells from CRC patients using a W3 probe. Based on these results, we put forward a stratagem for cell-SELEX-based biomarker discovery: selecting an aptamer through subtractive cell-SELEX towards the phenotype of interest; evaluating the functional phenotype of the target molecule by aptamer-based target cell sorting and analysis of clinical samples; and identifying the aptamer's target molecule using MS and aptamer-based target enrichment. This stratagem not only shortens the time for the clinical application of aptamers but also enables a more targeted and efficient discovery of biomarkers.

Abstract
A GLUTs/GSH cascade targeting-responsive bioprobe, GluCC, was rationally designed and synthesized for the first time via the coordination of copper ions with a glucose-modified coumarin derivative ligand (GluC). GluCC can specifically detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in lung metastatic mice models by targeting the Warburg effect and responding to overexpressed glutathione in the tumor microenvironment. This bioprobe with a simple detection procedure has significant advantages for CTC detection.

Abstract
Isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from patients is a challenge due to the rarity of CTCs. Recently, various platforms to capture and release CTCs for downstream analysis have been developed. However, most of the reported release methods provide external stimuli to release all captured cells, which lead to lack of specificity in the pool of collected cells, and the external stimuli may affect the activity of the released cells. Here, we presented a simple method for single-cell recovery to overcome the shortcomings, which combined the nanostructures with a photocurable hydrogel, chondroitin sulfate methacryloyl (CSMA). In brief, we synthesized gelatin nanoparticles (Gnps) and modified them on flat glass (Gnp substrate) for the specific capture of CTCs. A 405 nm laser was projected onto the selected cells, and then CSMA was cured to encapsulate the selected CTCs. Unselected cells were removed with MMP-9 enzyme solution, and selected CTCs were recovered using a microcapillary. Finally, the photocurable hydrogel-encapsulated cells were analyzed by nucleic acid detection. In addition, the results suggested that the isolation platform showed good biocompatibility and successfully achieved the isolation of selected cells. In summary, our light-induced hydrogel responsive platform holds certain potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Development of sensors uniting different sensing principles is in line with the concept of reliable, comprehensive, and diversified equipment construction. However, the current exploration in this field is obstructed by compromise of reaction conditions and inevitable mutual interference arising from different sensing modes. This work reported a closed bipolar electrode (c-BPE) strategy for dual-modality detection or dual-target detection. To this end, a c-BPE sensing platform installed in physically separated anode and cathode compartments was well designed and carefully optimized. If luminol was present in the anode section and Prussian blue (PB) was at the cathode part, single stimulation could realize electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from luminol at the anode and conversion of PB to Prussian white (PW) at the cathode. The latter reaction helped elevate the ECL signal and also prepared for colorimetric detection as color change from PW to PB under the trigger of oxidant (like H2O2) was used to track the content of the oxidant. Thus, dual signals were obtained for dual-modality detection of single target or the detection of different targets was realized at different poles. Detection of glucose was carried out to validate the application for dual-modality detection, while VLDL/AChE and NADH/H2O2 assays illustrated the potential of dual-target detection. The proposed platform possesses outstanding sensing performance including selectivity, repeatability, long-term stability, accuracy, and so forth. This work implements a breakthrough in designing dual-mode sensors and is expected to present a rational basis for development of a diversified sensing platform.

Abstract
The application of combination immune-chemotherapy makes up for the limitation of monotherapy and achieves superior antitumor activity against cancer. However, combinational therapy is always restricted by poor tumor targeted drug delivery efficacy. Herein, novel T cell membrane cloaking tumor microenvironment-responsive nanoparticles (PBA modified T cell membrane cloaking hyaluronic acid (HA)-disulfide bond-vitamin E succinate/curcumin, shortened as RCM@T) were developed. T cell membrane cloaking not only serves as a protection shell for sufficient drug delivery but also acts as a programmed cell death-1(PD-1) "antibody" to selectively bind the PD-L1 of tumor cells. When RCM@T is intravenously administrated into the blood stream, it accumulates at tumor sites and responds to an acidic pH to achieve a "membrane escape effect" and expose the HA residues of RCM for tumor targeted drug delivery. RCM accumulates in the cytoplasm via CD44 receptor mediated endocytosis and intracellularly releases antitumor drug in the intracellular redox microenvironment for tumor chemotherapy. T cell membrane debris targets the PD-L1of tumor cells for tumor immunotherapy, which not only directly kills tumor cells, but also improves the CD8+ T cell level and facilitates effector cytokine release. Taken together, the as-constructed RCM@T creates a new way for the rational design of a drug delivery system via the combination of stimuli-responsive drug release, chemotherapeutical agent delivery and cell membrane based immune checkpoint blockade immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nano-drug delivery systems (NDDS) are functional drug-loaded nanocarriers widely applied in cancer therapy. Recently, layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled NDDS have been demonstrated as one of the most promising platforms in delivery of anticancer therapeutics. Here, a brief review of the LbL assembled NDDS for cancer treatment is presented. The fundamentals of the LbL assembled NDDS are first interpreted with an emphasis on the formation mechanisms. Afterwards, the tailored encapsulation of anticancer therapeutics in LbL assembled NDDS are summarized. The state-of-art targeted delivery of LbL assembled NDDS, with special attention to the elaborately control over the passive and active targeting delivery, are represented. Then the controlled release of LbL assembled NDDS with various stimulus responsiveness are systematically reviewed. Finally, conclusions and perspectives on further advancing the LbL assembled NDDS toward more powerful and versatile platforms for cancer therapy are discussed.

Abstract
For reversing the treatment failure in P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-associated MDR (multidrug resistance) of breast cancer, a high dose of Lapatinib (Lap), a substrate of breast cancer-resistant protein, was encapsulated into safe and effective acid-cleavable polysaccharide-doxorubicin (Dox) conjugates to form targeted HPP-Dox/Lap nanoparticles with an optimal drug ratio and appropriate nanosize decorated with oligomeric hyaluronic acid (HA) for specially targeting overexpressed CD44 receptors of MCF-7/ADR. The markedly increased cellular uptake and the strongest synergetic cytotoxicity revealed the enhanced reversal efficiency of HPP-Dox/Lap nanoparticles with reversal multiples at 29.83. This was also verified by the enhanced penetrating capacity in multicellular tumor spheroids. The reinforced Dox retention and substantial down-regulation of P-gp expression implied the possible mechanism of MDR reversal. Furthermore, the efficient ex vivo accumulation and distribution of nanoparticles in the tumor site and the high tumor growth inhibition (93%) even at a lower dosage (1 mg/kg) as well as lung metastasis inhibition in vivo with negligible side effects revealed the overwhelming advantages of targeted polysaccharide nanoparticles and Lap-sensitizing effect against drug-resistant tumor. The development of an efficient and nontoxic-targeted polysaccharide delivery system for reversing MDR by synergistic therapy might provide a potential clinical application value.

Abstract
Dendritic polymers have highly branched three-dimensional architectures, the fourth type apart from linear, cross-linked, and branched one. They possess not only a large number of terminal functional units and interior cavities, but also a low viscosity with weak or no entanglement. These features endow them with great potential in various biomedicine applications, including drug delivery, gene therapy, tissue engineering, immunoassay and bioimaging. Most review articles related to bio-related applications of dendritic polymers focus on their drug or gene delivery, while very few of them are devoted to their function as cancer diagnosis agents, which are essential for cancer treatment. In this review, we will provide comprehensive insights into various dendritic polymer-based cancer diagnosis agents. Their classification and preparation are presented for readers to have a precise understanding of dendritic polymers. On account of physical/chemical properties of dendritic polymers and biological properties of cancer, we will suggest a few design strategies for constructing dendritic polymer-based diagnosis agents, such as active or passive targeting strategies, imaging reporters-incorporating strategies, and/or internal stimuli-responsive degradable/enhanced imaging strategies. Their recent applications in in vitro diagnosis of cancer cells or exosomes and in vivo diagnosis of primary and metastasis tumor sites with the aid of single/multiple imaging modalities will be discussed in great detail. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Diagnostic Tools > in vitro Nanoparticle-Based Sensing.
