Abstract
The advancement of science and technology, coupled with the growing environmental consciousness among individuals, has led to a shift in pesticide development from traditional methods characterized by inefficiency and misuse toward a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach. Cellulose, as the most abundant natural renewable resource, has opened up a new avenue in the field of biobased drug carriers by developing cellulose-based drug delivery systems. These systems offer unique advantages in terms of deposition rate enhancement, modification facilitation, and environmental impact reduction when designing nanopesticides. Consequently, their application in the field of nanoscale pesticides has gained widespread recognition. The present study provides a comprehensive review of cellulose modification methods, carrier types for cellulose-based nanopesticides delivery systems (CPDS), and various stimulus-response factors influencing pesticide release. Additionally, the main challenges in the design and application of CPDS are summarized, highlighting the immense potential of cellulose-based materials in the field of nanopesticides.

Abstract
Here, the simultaneous effect of chemo- and photothermal therapy against epidermoid carcinoma (EC) was investigated. A novel hydrogel, termed bionanogel (BNG), was designed using psyllium mucilage polysaccharide and bacterial gellan gum, incorporated with nanocomplex carrying caffeic acid (CA) and IR-820, and further characterized. The dual effect of BNG and 808 nm laser (BNG + L) on EC was investigated. Staining and scratch assays were performed to analyze their therapeutic effect on EC. In vivo evaluations of BNG + L in xenograft models were performed. Rapid transition, limited swelling, degradability and high tensile strength indicated BNG stability and sustained drug release. Irradiation with 808 nm laser light at 1.25 W /cm2 for 4 min resulted in a temperature increase of 53 °C and facilitated cell ablation. The in vitro studies showed that BNG + L suppressed cancer progression via a late apoptotic effect. The in vivo study showed that the slow release of CA from BNG + L significantly attenuated EC with low mitotic index and downregulation of proteins involved in cancer proliferation such as EGFR, AKT, PI3K, ERK, mTOR and HIF-1α. Thus, BNG could be a novel medium for targeted and controlled drug delivery for the treatment of epidermoid cancer when triggered by NIR light.

Int J Pharm 2024; 652:123851. [PMID: 38272194 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123851] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
The nanocellulose has unique characteristics, such as biocompatibility, good mechanical strength, and low cytotoxicity. The nanocellulose crystalline portion is responsible for good mechanical resistance, while the amorphous portion is responsible for flexibility. Such features make it a promising candidate for multiple applications related to the modulation of substance release: targeted cancer therapy, transdermal drug delivery, and controlled-release packaging materials. Thus, in this study, we discussed nanocellulose as a multipurpose material for drug delivery and bioactive compound carriers in controlled delivery systems with varied applications in pharmaceutic fields. Herein, we focus on understanding key factors such as i) polymer-drug interactions and surface modification strategies in controlled release rates, ii) therapeutic efficacy, and iii) biocompatibility aspects. The tunable chemistry surface plays a fundamental approach limiting the quick release of active substances in drug delivery systems. Several works on a pre-clinical stage of investigation were overviewed, reporting robust evidence on nanocellulose to design bioactive compounds/drug delivery carriers based on stimuli-responsive drug release and controlled delivery systems for higher efficiency in cancer therapies, purposing target therapy and reduced side effects. Nanocellulose was also identified as a solid candidate material in active packaging for pharmaceutical products. Cellulose nanocrystals and bacterial cellulose demonstrated strong potential to overcome the challenge of controlled release profile and open novel insights in advanced active packaging materials for pharmaceutics with controlled release of antioxidant and antimicrobial substances. Moreover, the concept overview in this work might be extended in active food packaging technologies to flavor-releasing/absorbing systems or antimicrobial/antioxidant carriers for extending the shelf life of foods.

[PMID: 38371755 PMCID: PMC10870354 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c08914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) with positive surface charges are considered one of the encouraging nanomedications for antibacterial applications. However, due to the distinctive membrane structure of Gram-negative bacteria, cationic CDs with relatively high concentrations are usually required for effective treatment, which might bring out serious safety issues at high doses. Therefore, it is of substantial significance to improve the killing efficiency of cationic CDs on Gram-negative bacteria at appropriately low concentrations. In this work, optimized cationic CDs (bPEI25 000-CDs) were prepared via a hydrothermal method with citric acid and branched PEI25000, which offered a positive surface potential, elimination abilities against Escherichia coli, and relatively high biosafety. The optimized bPEI25 000-CDs can further assemble with the clinical photodynamic therapy (PDT) drug 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) through electrostatic interaction. Moreover, compared with bPEI25 000-CDs and 5-ALA, the bacterial survival rate was significantly reduced by the ALA-bPEI25 000-CD-induced PDT effect. Even when the dose of bPEI25 000-CD carrier was halved, the bacterial survival could be reduced by 44.4% after light exposure compared to those incubated in the dark. The investigation of the bacterial morphology, membrane potential, and intracellular ROS production suggested that the enhanced antibacterial activity may be due to the membrane dysfunction and cell damage resulting from the high interaction between positively charged ALA-bPEI25 000-CDs and the bacterial cell membrane. Meanwhile, the cationic ALA-bPEI25 000-CDs may facilitate the cellular uptake of 5-ALA, resulting in a more efficient PDT effect. In summary, the antibacterial strategy proposed in this study will provide a novel approach for expanding the application of CD-based nanomedications.

Abstract
The rapid, irreversible change of active Fe2+to inactive Fe3+after the Fenton reaction occurring reduces the chemodynamic therapeutic (CDT) effect. Therefore, manipulation of the tumor microenvironment to provide sufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) while maintaining metal ion catalyst activity is critical for effective CDT. Here,β-Lapachone (LPC) was loaded by mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and coated with polydopamine (PDA) to further chelate Fe3+and link aptamer AS1411, and a pH-controlled released, chemotherapy-photothermal therapy (PTT)-enhanced CDT-small molecule therapy combination drug delivery system with passive and active tumor targeting was engineered (designated asβ-LPC@MSN@PDA/Fe3+-AS1411, LMPFA). The results showed that LFMPA nanoparticles massively accumulated in tumor tissues to achieve tumor targeting through AS1411 mediating and enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Subsequently, PDA released Fe3+and LPC through acid response to exhibited CDT and chemotherapeutic therapy. Meanwhile, the photothermal effect of PDA promoted the release of LPC from the pores of MSN. LPC exerted chemotherapy effect and cyclically producing of H2O2by the catalysis of NQO1, which enhanced the CDT activated by Fe3+. In addition, while serving as a targeted ligand, AS1411 could also exhibit a small molecule therapeutic effect by binding to nucleoli of tumor cells. This unique nano delivery system achieved the combination of chemotherapy, PTT, enhanced CDT and small molecule therapy, and fought against malignant tumors synergistically through multi-target and multi-dimension.

Abstract
Demyelination is a serious complication of neurological disorders, which can be reversed by oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) as the available source of myelination. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) plays key roles in neurological disorders, which still attracted less attention on how CS modulates the fate of OPCs. Nanoparticle coupled with glycoprobe is a potential strategy for investigating the carbohydrate-protein interaction. However, there is lack of CS-based glycoprobe with enough chain length that interact with protein effectively. Herein, we designed a responsive delivery system, in which CS was the target molecule, and cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) was the penetrative nanocarrier. A coumarin derivative (B) was conjugated at the reducing end of an unanimal-sourced chondroitin tetrasaccharide (4mer). This glycoprobe (4B) was grafted to the surface of a rod-like nanocarrier, which had a crystalline core and a poly(ethylene glycol) shell. This glycosylated nanoparticle (N4B-P) displayed a uniform size, improved water-solubility, and responsive release of glycoprobe. N4B-P displayed strong green fluorescence and good cell-compatibility, which imaged well the neural cells including astrocytes and OPCs. Interestingly, both of glycoprobe and N4B-P were internalized selectively by OPCs when they were incubated in astrocytes/OPCs mixtures. This rod-like nanoparticle would be a potential probe for studying carbohydrate-protein interaction in OPCs.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG), glucose oxidase (GOx), and copper(II) sulfate (Cu)-installed hybrid gel based on organic nanorod (cellulose nanocrystal [CNC]) and inorganic nanodisk (Laponite [LAP]) was developed to perform a combination of starvation therapy (ST), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT) for localized cancers. A hybrid CNC/LAP network with a nematic phase was designed to enable instant gelation, controlled viscoelasticity, syringe injectability, and longer in vivo retention. Moreover, ICG was introduced into the CNC/LAP gel system to induce hyperthermia of tumor tissue, amplifying the CDT effect; GOx was used for glucose deprivation (related to the Warburg effect); and Cu was introduced for hydroxyl radical generation (based on Fenton-like chemistry) and cellular glutathione (GSH) degradation in cancer cells. The ICG/GOx/Cu-installed CNC/LAP gel in combination with near-infrared (NIR) laser realized improved antiproliferation, cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cellular GSH degradation, and apoptosis induction in colorectal cancer (CT-26) cells. In addition, local injection of the CNC/ICG/GOx/Cu/LAP gel into the implanted CT-26 tumor while irradiating it with NIR laser provided strong tumor growth suppression effects. In conclusion, the designed hybrid nanorod/nanodisk gel network can be efficiently applied to the local PTT/ST/CDT of cancer cells.

Abstract
Alginates are natural polysaccharides widely participating in food, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications due to their excellent gelling capacity. Their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability further extend their application to biomedical fields. The low consistency in molecular weight and composition of algae-based alginates may limit their performance in advanced biomedical applications. It makes microbial alginate production more attractive due to its potential for customizing alginate molecules with stable characteristics. Production costs remain the primary factor limiting the commercialization of microbial alginates. However, carbon-rich wastes from sugar, dairy, and biodiesel industries may serve as potential substitutes for pure sugars for microbial alginate production to reduce substrate costs. Fermentation parameter control and genetic engineering strategies may further improve the production efficiency and customize the molecular composition of microbial alginates. To meet the specific needs of biomedical applications, alginates may need functionalization, such as functional group modifications and crosslinking treatments, to achieve enhanced mechanical properties and biochemical activities. The development of alginate-based composites incorporated with other polysaccharides, gelatin, and bioactive factors can integrate the advantages of each component to meet multiple requirements in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications. This review provided a comprehensive insight into the sustainable production of high-value microbial alginates. It also discussed recent advances in alginate modification strategies and alginate-based composites for representative biomedical applications.

Cu 2+-pyropheophorbide-a-cystine conjugate-mediated multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles for photo-chemodynamic therapy/GSH depletion combined with immunotherapy cancer. Int J Pharm 2023; 640:123002. [PMID: 37254284 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can activate immunogenicity, so PDT and CDT combined immunotherapy is a promising treatment strategy. However, insufficient hydrogen peroxide activity, hypoxia, and overexpressed glutathione in the tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly impaired the ability to activate immunogenicity. Thus, in this paper, self-reinforcing conjugates Cu2+-Pyropheophorbide-a-Cysteine (CuPPaCC), combined synergetic NIR and pH triggered PDT/CDT with glutathione depletion ability was constructed. CuPPaCC was encapsulated in mesoporous silica, and spherical HSCuPPaCC nanoparticles were prepared by Hyaluronic acid (HA) on the silica surface by Schiff base modification. HSCuPPaCC has tumor-specific targeting via HA mediated. In acidic solution, the Schiff base of HSCuPPaCC is destroyed and CuPPaCC is released (>70%), with excellent pH response release function. The results of the MTT analysis showed that the PDT/CDT synergistic anti-tumor effect was significant. HSCuPPaCC was activated in TME, catalyzing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radicals and oxygen, alleviating TME hypoxia, replenishing oxygen to PDT, and significantly down regulating hypoxia factor HIF-1α expression. HSCuPPaCC has an excellent dual ROS mechanism and a dual depleting GSH mechanism resulting in a surge in intracellular ROS levels to efficiently kill cancer cells, enhance the ability to induce immunogenicity, and make tumors more sensitive to checkpoint PD-L1 blockade therapy. With the CT26 mouse model, not only the primary tumor was eradicated, but also the distal tumor at the end of treatment was completely suppressed by HSCuPPaCC combined with anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

Abstract
Biopolymers are promising environmentally benign materials applicable in multifarious applications. They are especially favorable in implantable biomedical devices thanks to their excellent unique properties, including bioactivity, renewability, bioresorbability, biocompatibility, biodegradability and hydrophilicity. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a flexible and intricate manufacturing technology, which is widely used to fabricate biopolymer-based customized products and structures for advanced healthcare systems. Three-dimensional (3D) printing of these sustainable materials is applied in functional clinical settings including wound dressing, drug delivery systems, medical implants and tissue engineering. The present review highlights recent advancements in different types of biopolymers, such as proteins and polysaccharides, which are employed to develop different biomedical products by using extrusion, vat polymerization, laser and inkjet 3D printing techniques in addition to normal bioprinting and four-dimensional (4D) bioprinting techniques. This review also incorporates the influence of nanoparticles on the biological and mechanical performances of 3D-printed tissue scaffolds. This work also addresses current challenges as well as future developments of environmentally friendly polymeric materials manufactured through the AM techniques. Ideally, there is a need for more focused research on the adequate blending of these biodegradable biopolymers for achieving useful results in targeted biomedical areas. We envision that biopolymer-based 3D-printed composites have the potential to revolutionize the biomedical sector in the near future.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is an important approach for the treatment of some skin diseases and cancers. A major defect of this approach is that it is difficult for 5-ALA to accumulate around lesions in deeper regions of tissue, resulting in poor conversion to the active fluorophore and photodynamic efficiencies. Because of their targeting and controlled release abilities, nanogel carriers could solve this problem. In this paper, nanogels were prepared by using micro-emulsion polymerization with various biodegradable polyester crosslinkers (L-lactide and ε-caprolactone). The swelling and degradation properties and entrapment efficiency, drug loading and drug release ability of the nanogels were investigated. Nanogels co-cultured with skin cancer cells (A2058) allowed the efficiency of the PDT in vitro to be demonstrated. The results showed that the swelling rate of hydrogels reduced with increasing crosslinker levels, which caused a slow-down in the release of 5-ALA, but lipase accelerated degradation of nanogels increased 5-ALA concentrations in tumor cells and leading to higher PDT efficiency. It was proved by in vivo experiment indicating that the development of skin cancer tissues were efficiently inhibited by the 5-ALA loaded nanogels.

Abstract
Breast cancer treatment has been challenging all the time because cancer cells have multiple signaling pathways; so, breast cancer still remains a threat to the lives and health of many patients. While common single drug therapies inhibit only one pathway, the combination of multiple mechanisms offers the potential to simultaneously suppress multiple targets and pathways to kill cancer cells more effectively. It is reported that autophagy caused by autophagy inducers and apoptosis caused by some chemotherapeutic drugs can promote ferroptosis to some extent; herein, we combined these three pathways and constructed a multifunctional dual-responsive release nanosystem of Rap@mFe3O4-DOX-HA that achieved the ferroptosis-autophagy-apoptosis synergistic effect for cancer treatment. Mesoporous Fe3O4 (mFe3O4) was set as the carrier and can also release Fe ions for ferroptosis, the autophagy inducer rapamycin (Rap) was wrapped in the carrier to trigger autophagy, and the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) was used as the apoptosis inducer. At the tumor site, the prepared Rap@mFe3O4-DOX-HA nanoparticles split and released DOX/Rap in response to H+/GSH. From in vivo and in vitro studies, it was found that Rap@mFe3O4-DOX-HA nanoparticles effectively inhibited the migration of 4T1 cells, furthermore, they struck cancer cells through multiple pathways and greatly improved the anti-tumor effect. Therefore, the strategy of multi-mechanism combination achieved a therapeutic effect of 1 + 1 > 2.

Abstract
In this study, MgO-doped CNC-g-PAA hydrogel was synthesized by grafting poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) onto cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and then doped Magnesium oxide (MgO) using pH 7.0 and 12.0 to obtain an efficient nanocomposite hydrogel for antibacterial and anti-cancer activities. The synthesized nanocomposite hydrogels were evaluated by detailed characterization and confirmed the formation of a well-interconnected porous structure. MgO/CNC-g-PAA (pH = 12.0) exhibited improved bactericidal tendencies towards gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, which was further investigated by in-silico molecular docking analyses and also examined the reactive oxygen species production by photocatalysis and free radical-scavenging assay. After this, Doxorubicin (DOX), a model anticancer drug, was successfully loaded into nanocomposites (~79 %) by electrostatic interaction and confirmed pH-triggered based release, which was over 53.7 % in 24 h. Finally, in vitro cytotoxicity-based analysis confirmed the improved antitumor efficacy of nanocomposite hydrogels. These findings revealed that MgO/CNC-g-PAA hydrogels might be prospective carriers for controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive oxidant molecules that can kill cancer cells through irreversible damage to biomacromolecules. ROS-mediated cancer therapies, such as chemodynamic (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), are often limited by the hypoxia tumor microenvironment (TME) with high glutathione (GSH) level. This paper reported the preparation, characterization, in vitro and in vivo antitumor bioactivity of a meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP)-based therapeutic nanoplatform (CMMFTP) to overcome the limitations of TME. Using Cu2+ as the central ion and TCPP as the ligand, the 2D metal-organic framework Cu-TCPP was synthesized by the solvothermal method, then CMMFTP was prepared by modifying MnO2, folic acid (FA), triphenylphosphine (TPP), and poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) on the surface of Cu-TCPP MOFs. CMMFTP was designed as a self-oxygenating ROS nanoreactor based on the PDT process of TCPP MOFs and the CDT process by Cu(II) and MnO2 components (mainly through Fenton-like reaction). The in vitro assay suggested CMMFTP caused a 96% lethality rate against Hela cells (MTT analysis) in specific response to TME stimulation. Moreover, the Cu(II) and MnO2 in CMMFTP efficiently depleted the glutathione (80%) in tumor cells and consequently amplified ROS levels to improve CDT/PDT effects. The FA-induced tumor targeting and TPP-induced mitochondria targeting further enhanced the antitumor activity. Therefore, the nanoreactor based on dual targeting and self-oxygenation-enhanced ROS mechanism provided a new strategy for cancer therapy.

Abstract
W18O49-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) is affected by the easily oxidized property and its direct exposure to physiological environment can cause biological events, which limit its development in the biomedical field. Herein, a composite nanoparticle PVP-W18O49@C (PW@C), with significant antioxidant and excellent biocompatibility, was constructed to overcome the limitations of W18O49 in the medical field. Oxygen-deficient W18O49, with irregular defect structure, was combined with hollow carbon nanospheres treated by reflux to obtain W18O49@C (W@C) similar to sea urchins. Compared with W18O49, W@C shows stronger antioxidant properties, and it still has the ability to convert light energy to heat energy after 6 months. In addition, polyvinyl pyrrolidone is coated on the surface of W@C to construct PW@C, which significantly improves biocompatibility of W@C. The photothermal conversion efficiency of PW@C was 42.9 ± 1.3. PWD (PW@C loaded with DOX·HCl) showed controllable drug release behavior under pH and NIR stimulation, and the drug release rate reached 69.1 ± 1.6% at pH = 5.0. Notably, PWD was readily absorbed by cells through clathrin/caveolae-mediated internalization channels, and the viability of HeLa cells treated with PWD + NIR was only 21.5 ± 1.0%. Through photothermal, drug delivery/release and cytotoxicity evaluation, PWD was proved to be an effective platform for chemo-/photothermal combinational tumor therapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) working in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region has aroused a huge interest due to its potential application in terms of clinical cancer treatment. However, owing to the lack of photothermal nanoagents with high photothermal conversion efficiency, NIR-II-driven PTT still suffers from poor efficiency and subsequent cancer recurrence. In this work, we show a new and highly efficient preparation approach for NIR-II photothermal nanoagents and tailor ultrathin layered double hydroxide (LDH)-supported Ag@Ag2O core-shell nanoparticles (Ag@Ag2O/LDHs-U), vastly improving NIR-II photothermal performance. A combination study (high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)) verifies that ultrafine Ag@Ag2O core-shell nanoparticles (∼3.8 nm) are highly dispersed and firmly immobilized within ultrathin LDH nanosheets, and their Ag2O shell possesses abundant vacancy-type defects. These unique Ag@Ag2O/LDHs-U display an impressive photothermal conversion efficiency as high as 76.9% at 1064 nm. Such an excellent photothermal performance is likely attributed to the enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) coupling effect between Ag and Ag2O and the reduced band gap caused by vacancy-type defects in the Ag2O shell. Meanwhile, Ag@Ag2O/LDHs-U also show prominent photothermal stability, due to the unique supported core-shell nanostructure. Moreover, both in vitro and in vivo studies further confirm that Ag@Ag2O/LDHs-U possess good biocompatible properties and outstanding PTT therapeutic efficacy in the NIR-II region. This research shows a new strategy in the rational design and preparation of an efficient photothermal agent, which is helpful to achieve more accurate and effective cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Psoriasis does not respond adequately to the monotherapy, tailoring combined strategies for synergistical treatment remains challenging. We fabricated chitosan/hyaluronan nanogels to co-load methotrexate (MTX) and 5-aminoleavulinic acid (ALA), i.e., MTX-ALA NGs, for a combined chemo-photodynamic therapy for psoriasis. Compared with MTX-ALA suspension, the NGs enhanced the penetration and retention of MTX and ALA through and into the skin in vitro and in vivo (p < 0.001). NGs enhanced the cellular uptake (p < 0.001), protoporphyrin IX conversion (p < 0.001), and reactive oxygen species generation (3.93-fold), subsequently exerted the synergistical anti-proliferation and apoptosis on lipopolysaccharide-irritated HaCaT cells with the apoptosis rate of 78.6%. MTX-ALA NGs efficiently ameliorated the skin manifestations and down-regulated the proinflammatory cytokines of TNF-α and IL-17A in imiquimod-induced psoriatic mice (p < 0.001). Importantly, MTX-ALA NGs reduced the toxicities of oral MTX to the liver and kidney. The results support that MTX-ALA NG is a convenient, effective, and safe combined chemo-photodynamic strategy for psoriasis treatment.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel cancer therapeutic strategy defined as the treatment using Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce •OH in the tumor region, was first proposed by Bu, Shi, and co-workers in 2016. Recently, with the rapid development of Fenton and Fenton-like nanomaterials, CDT has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique advantages: 1) It is tumor-selective with low side effects; 2) the CDT process does not depend on external field stimulation; 3) it can modulate the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; 4) the treatment cost of CDT is low. In addition to the Fe-involved CDT strategies, the Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT strategies have also been proposed, which are based on many other metal elements including copper, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, palladium, silver, molybdenum, ruthenium, tungsten, cerium, and zinc. Moreover, CDT has been combined with other therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy for achieving enhanced anticancer effects. Besides, there have also been studies that extend the application of CDT to the antibacterial field. This review introduces the latest advancements in the nanomaterials-involved CDT from 2018 to the present and proposes the current limitations as well as future research directions in the related field.

Abstract
In this work, a pH-tunable multicolor luminescent lanthanide-based hydrogel (CS/DEX/CP) was prepared based on lanthanide coordination polymer (CP), dextran aldehyde (DEX) and chitosan (CS). The CP was obtained by the self-assembly of guanosine acid (GMP), ciprofloxacin (CIP), Eu3+, and Tb3+. As-prepared CS/DEX/CP hydrogel could emit blue, green, and red luminescence of CIP, Tb3+, and Eu3+, respectively. It was also found that the luminescence of CS/DEX/CP hydrogel exhibited visual color change in the pH range of 5.5 to 8. Such pH-sensitive hydrogel was multicolor-responsive to protons produced by bacterial growth, therefore, it could provide early warning of bacterial infection by naked-eye. In addition, the increased acidity resulted in not only the degradation of acid-labile Schiff base linkages between DEX and CS, but also the fracture of coordination between CIP and lanthanide ions. As a result, the released CIP and CS showed significantly antibacterial activity against both S. aureus and E. coli.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging strategy for cancer treatment based on Fenton chemistry, which can convert endogenous H2O2 into toxic ·OH. However, the limited endocytosis of passive CDT nanoagents with low penetrating capability resulted in unsatisfactory anticancer efficacy. Herein, we propose the successful fabrication of a self-propelled biodegradable nanomotor system based on hollow MnO2 nanoparticles with catalytic activity for active Fenton-like Mn2+ delivery and enhanced CDT. Compared with the passive counterparts, the significantly improved penetration of nanomotors with enhanced diffusion is demonstrated in both the 2D cell culture system and 3D tumor multicellular spheroids. After the intracellular uptake of nanomotors, toxic Fenton-like Mn2+ is massively produced by consuming overexpressed intracellular glutathione (GSH), which has a strong scavenging effect on ·OH, thereby leading to enhanced cancer CDT. The as-developed MnO2-based nanomotor system with enhanced penetration and endogenous GSH scavenging capability shows much promise as a potential platform for cancer treatment in the near future.

Abstract
Cancer is currently a major threat to public health, being among the principal causes of death to the global population. With carcinogenesis mechanisms, cancer invasion, and metastasis remaining blurred, cancer diagnosis and novel drug delivery approaches should be developed urgently to enable management and treatment. A dream break-through would be a non-invasive instantaneous monitoring of cancer initiation and progression to fast-track diagnosis for timely specialist treatment decisions. These innovations would enhance the established treatment protocols, unlimited by evasive biological complexities during tumorigenesis. It is therefore contingent that emerging and future scientific technologies be equally biased towards such innovations by exploiting the apparent properties of new developments and materials especially nanomaterials. CNCs as nanomaterials have undisputable physical and excellent biological properties that enhanced their interest as biomedical materials. This article therefore highlights CNCs utility in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Their extraction, properties, modification, in-vivo/in-vitro medical applications, biocompatibility, challenges and future perspectives are precisely discussed.
