[PMID: 39048205 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122418] [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: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
The functionalization of materials via multicomponent reactions (MCRs) led to a recent surge in the interest of researchers, owing to the creation of exceptional properties in materials. Herein, a novel robust porous catalyst was prepared via the conjugation of MIL-88-NH2(Fe) and pectin (DAP/MIL-88-NH2(Fe)) through the post-modification Ugi four-component reaction (Ugi-4CR) for the first time. To achieve this aim, pectin was oxidized using sodium periodate as an oxidant agent to produce dialdehyde pectin (DAP). Next, the generated carbonyl functional groups participated in the Ugi-4CR of MIL-88-NH2(Fe), 4-methyl carboxylic acid, and cyclohexyl (c-hex) isocyanide to produce DAP/MIL-88-NH2(Fe) catalyst. The catalytic activity of the prepared bio-based catalyst was examined in producing cyclic carbonates through the chemical fixation of CO2 with epoxides in the presence of TBAB as a co-catalyst. Interestingly, catalytic experiments revealed that the prepared bio-based catalyst could be remarkably active regarding the CO2 fixation reaction and performed it in the shortest reaction time (1 h) via high CO2 adsorbent capacity. The outstanding benefits of the prepared bio-based catalyst include its non-hazardous nature, inexpensive, green and gentle reaction conditions, and ability to be reusable in several runs with slight loss of catalytic activity due to a more durable framework with high chemical and thermal stability.

Abstract
The solvothermal reaction of CuSO4·5H2O and a chiral R-pempH2 ligand (molar ratio 6 : 1) first forms the metastable intermediate [Cu24(OH)20(R-pempH)8(SO4)10(H2O)10.5]·35H2O (1), followed by the formation of the stable phase [Cu2(OH)(R-pempH)(SO4)(H2O)]·H2O (2). Compound 1 displays a novel 3D open-framework structure containing Cu12 cluster nodes and sulfate links, which can be converted to the layered compound 2. We also investigated the photothermal effects of both compounds.

Abstract
The tracking of nanomedicines in their concentration and location inside living systems has a pivotal effect on the understanding of the biological processes, early-stage diagnosis, and therapeutic monitoring of diseases. Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nano MOFs) possess high surface areas, definite structure, regulated optical properties, rich functionalized sites, and good biocompatibility that allow them to excel in a wide range of biomedical applications. Controllable syntheses and functionalization endow nano MOFs with better properties as imaging agents and sensing units for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This minireview summarizes the tunable synthesis strategies of nano MOFs with controllable size, shape, and regulated luminescent performance, and pinpoints their recent advanced applications as optical elements in bioimaging and biosensing. The current limitations and future development directions of nano MOF-contained materials in bioimaging and biosensing applications are also discussed, aiming to expand the biological applications of nano MOF-based nanomedicine and facilitate their production or clinical translation.

Abstract
As the global population ages, bone diseases have become increasingly prevalent in clinical settings. These conditions often involve detrimental factors such as infection, inflammation, and oxidative stress that disrupt bone homeostasis. Addressing these disorders requires exogenous strategies to regulate the osteogenic microenvironment (OME). The exogenous regulation of OME can be divided into four processes: induction, modulation, protection, and support, each serving a specific purpose. To this end, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging focus in nanomedicine, which show tremendous potential due to their superior delivery capability. MOFs play numerous roles in OME regulation such as metal ion donors, drug carriers, nanozymes, and photosensitizers, which have been extensively explored in recent studies. This review presents a comprehensive introduction to the exogenous regulation of OME by MOF-based nanomaterials. By discussing various functional MOF composites, this work aims to inspire and guide the creation of sophisticated and efficient nanomaterials for bone disease management.

Abstract
Phosphine-ligated transition metal complexes play a pivotal role in modern catalysis, but our understanding of the impact of ligand counts on the catalysis performance of the metal center is limited. Here we report the synthesis of a low-coordinate mono(phosphine)-Rh catalyst on a metal-organic layer (MOL), P-MOL • Rh, and its applications in the hydrogenation of mono-, di-, and tri-substituted alkenes as well as aryl nitriles with turnover numbers (TONs) of up to 390000. Mechanistic investigations and density functional theory calculations revealed the lowering of reaction energy barriers by the low steric hindrance of site-isolated mono(phosphine)-Rh sites on the MOL to provide superior catalytic activity over homogeneous Rh catalysts. The MOL also prevents catalyst deactivation to enable recycle and reuse of P-MOL • Rh in catalytic hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
The second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) light-activated organic photothermal agent that synchronously enables satisfying NIR-II fluorescence imaging is highly warranted yet rather challenging on the basis of the overwhelming nonradiative decay. Herein, such an agent, namely TPABT-TD, was tactfully designed and constructed via employing benzo[c]thiophene moiety as bulky electron donor/π-bridge and tailoring the peripheral molecular rotors. Benefitting from its high electron donor-acceptor strength and finely modulated intramolecular motion, TPABT-TD simultaneously exhibits ultralong absorption in NIR-II region, intense fluorescence emission in the NIR-IIa (1300-1500 nm) region as nanoaggregates, and high photothermal conversion upon 1064 nm laser irradiation. Those intrinsic advantages endow TPABT-TD nanoparticles with prominent fluorescence/photoacoustic/photothermal trimodal imaging-guided NIR-II photothermal therapy against orthotopic 4T1 breast tumor with negligible adverse effect.

Abstract
Nowadays, stereoselective control over the sheer variety of chemical transformations benefits from the multipotency of chiral Lewis acids. Their use under biocompatible conditions has long posed a challenge because profuse amounts of biogenic nucleophiles readily deactivate them. To bridge the gap between chiral Lewis acid catalysis and biocompatible chemistry, the conversion of UiO(BPY)-type nanosized metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) into chiral variants was herein exemplified. The combination of an elongated 2,2'-bipyridyl linker and scandium salt with a hydrophobic anion proved essential to implement traits such as robustness, biocompatibility, and catalytic activity. The catalyst could construct sufficiently hydrophobic environments sequestered within the framework, catalyzing asymmetric ring-opening reactions of meso-epoxide with low catalyst loading to afford β-amino acid alcohols in high yield (up to >99%) with high enantioselectivity (up to 88%). Most impressively, it exhibited a tolerance to the ex vivo poisoning of chiral Lewis acid catalysis by biogenic nucleophiles in sharp contrast to conventional water-compatible Lewis acids.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been explored for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer, but their antitumor efficacy is limited by excited state quenching and low reactive oxygen species generation efficiency. Herein, we report a simultaneous protonation and metalation strategy to significantly enhance the PDT efficacy of a nanoscale two-dimensional imine-linked porphyrin-COF. The neutral and unmetalated porphyrin-COF (Ptp) and the protonated and metalated porphyrin-COF (Ptp-Fe) were synthesized via imine condensation between 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin and terephthalaldehyde in the absence and presence of ferric chloride, respectively. The presence of ferric chloride generated both doubly protonated and Fe3+-coordinated porphyrin units, which red-shifted and increased the Q-band absorption and disrupted exciton migration to prevent excited state quenching, respectively. Under light irradiation, rapid energy transfer from protonated porphyrins to Fe3+-coordinated porphyrins in Ptp-Fe enabled 1O2 and hydroxyl radical generation via type II and type I PDT processes. Ptp-Fe also catalyzed the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxy radical through a photoenhanced Fenton-like reaction under slightly acidic conditions and light illumination. As a result, Ptp-Fe-mediated PDT exhibited much higher cytotoxicity than Ptp-mediated PDT on CT26 and 4T1 cancer cells. Ptp-Fe-mediated PDT afforded potent antitumor efficacy in subcutaneous CT26 murine colon cancer and orthotopic 4T1 murine triple-negative breast tumors and prevented metastasis of 4T1 breast cancer to the lungs. This work underscores the role of fine-tuning the molecular structures of COFs in significantly enhancing their PDT efficacy.

Abstract
Phototherapy has garnered increasing attention as it allows for precise treatment of tumor sites with its accurate spatiotemporal control. In this study, we have successfully synthesized degradable bifunctional phototherapy agents (UCNPs@mSiO2@MPN-MC540/DOX) based on upconversion nanoparticle (UCNPs) and metal phenolic network (MPN), serving as a novel nanoplatform for multimodal tumor treatment in the near-infrared (NIR) biological window. To address the issue of low light penetration depth, the UCNPs we synthesized exhibited efficient light conversion ability under 808 nm laser irradiation to activate the photosensitizer Merocyanine 540 (MC540) for photodynamic therapy. Simultaneously, the 808 nm NIR light can also excite the MPN layer to achieve photothermal therapy for tumors. Additionally, the MPN layer possesses the capability of self-degradation under weakly acidic conditions. Within the tumor microenvironment, the MPN layer gradually degrades, facilitating the controlled release of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX), thus achieving pH-responsive drug release and reducing the side effects of chemotherapy. This study provides an example of NIR-excited multimodal tumor treatment and pH-responsive drug release, offering a therapy model for precise tumor therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) shows promise in tumor treatment, particularly when combined with nanotechnology. This study examines the impact of deep learning, particularly the Cellpose algorithm, on the comprehension of cancer cell responses to PDT. The Cellpose algorithm enables robust morphological analysis of cancer cells, while logistic growth modelling predicts cellular behavior post-PDT. Rigorous model validation ensures the accuracy of the findings. Cellpose demonstrates significant morphological changes after PDT, affecting cellular proliferation and survival. The reliability of the findings is confirmed by model validation. This deep learning tool enhances our understanding of cancer cell dynamics after PDT. Advanced analytical techniques, such as morphological analysis and growth modeling, provide insights into the effects of PDT on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, which could potentially improve cancer treatment efficacy. In summary, the research examines the role of deep learning in optimizing PDT parameters to personalize oncology treatment and improve efficacy.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2024; 239:113965. [PMID: 38772084 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113965] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become a promising approach and non-invasive modality for cancer treatment, however the therapeutic effect of PDT is limited in tumor metastasis and local recurrence. Herein, a tumor targeted nanomedicine (designated as PCN@HA) is constructed for enhanced PDT against tumors. By modified with hyaluronic acid (HA), which could target the CD44 receptor that expressed on the cancer cells, the targeting ability of PCN@HA has been enhanced. Under light irradiation, PCN@HA can produce cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) and kill cancer cells, then eliminate tumors. Furthermore, PCN@HA exhibits fluorescence (FL)/ photoacoustic (PA) effects for multimodal imaging-guided cancer treatment. And PCN@HA-mediated PDT also can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) and stimulate adaptive immune responses by releasing of tumor antigens. By combining with anti-PD-L1 checkpoint blockade therapy, it can not only effectively suppress the growth of primary tumor, but also inhibit the metastatic tumor growth.

Abstract
In the last two decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with highly tunable structure and porosity, have emerged as drug nanocarriers in the biomedical field. In particular, nanoscaled MOFs (nanoMOFs) have been widely investigated because of their potential biocompatibility, high drug loadings, and progressive release. To enhance their properties, MOFs have been combined with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to form magnetic nanocomposites (MNP@MOF) with additional functionalities. Due to the magnetic properties of the MNPs, their presence in the nanosystems enables potential combinatorial magnetic targeted therapy and diagnosis. In this Review, we analyze the four main synthetic strategies currently employed for the fabrication of MNP@MOF nanocomposites, namely, mixing, in situ formation of MNPs in presynthesized MOF, in situ formation of MOFs in the presence of MNPs, and layer-by-layer methods. Additionally, we discuss the current progress in bioapplications, focusing on drug delivery systems (DDSs), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic hyperthermia (MHT), and theragnostic systems. Overall, we provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the development and bioapplications of MNP@MOF nanocomposites, highlighting their potential for future biomedical applications with a critical analysis of the challenges and limitations of these nanocomposites in terms of their synthesis, characterization, biocompatibility, and applicability.

Abstract
Chemoradiotherapy combines radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy to potentiate antitumor activity but exacerbates toxicities and causes debilitating side effects in cancer patients. Herein, we report the use of a nanoscale metal-organic layer (MOL) as a 2D nanoradiosensitizer and a reservoir for the slow release of chemotherapeutics to amplify the antitumor effects of radiotherapy. Coordination of phosphate-containing drugs to MOL secondary building units prolongs their intratumoral retention, allowing for continuous release of gemcitabine monophosphate (GMP) for effective localized chemotherapy. In the meantime, the MOL sensitizes cancer cells to X-ray irradiation and provides potent radiotherapeutic effects. GMP-loaded MOL (GMP/MOL) enhances cytotoxicity by 2-fold and improves radiotherapeutic effects over free GMP in vitro. In a colon cancer model, GMP/MOL retains GMP in tumors for more than four days and, when combined with low-dose radiotherapy, inhibits tumor growth by 98 %. The synergistic chemoradiotherapy enabled by GMP/MOL shows a cure rate of 50 %, improves survival, and ameliorates cancer-proliferation histological biomarkers.

Abstract
As a globally prevalent disease, obesity leads to many chronic diseases, so it is important to develop safe and effective treatments with fewer side effects and lasting weight loss. In this study, we developed a biodegradable hyaluronic acid microneedle patch loaded with polydopamine nanoparticles and mirabegron, which directly acted on subcutaneous white adipose tissue, and then induced browning of white adipose tissue through mild photothermal therapy. The approach showed excellent browning-promoting ability and biocompatibility. It is noteworthy that the weight of untreated mice increased by 9%, while the weight of obese mice decreased by nearly 19% after photothermal treatment. In addition, when mirabegron was used in combination with photothermal therapy, the weight loss of obese mice was more significant, with a weight loss of about 22%. This microneedle patch exhibited attractive potential for body slimming.

Abstract
Given the crucial role of immune system in the occurrence and progression of various diseases such as cancer, wound healing, bone defect, and inflammation-related diseases, immunomodulation is recognized as a potential solution for treatment of these diseases. Immunomodulation includes both immunosuppression in hyperactive immune conditions and immune activation in hypoactive conditions. For these purposes, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are investigated to modulate immune responses either by their own bioactivities or by delivering immunomodulatory agents due to their excellent biodegradability and high delivery capacity. This review starts with an overview of the synthesis strategies of immunomodulatory MOFs, followed by a summarization on the latest applications of immunomodulatory MOFs in cancer immunomodulatory, wound healing, inflammatory disease, and bone tissue engineering. A variety of design considerations, in order to optimize immunomodulatory properties and efficacy of MOFs, is also involved. Last, the challenges and perspectives of future research, which are expected to provide researchers with new insight into the design and application of immunomodulatory MOFs, are discussed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging porous materials that can serve as carriers of photosensitizers and photothermal agents. Meanwhile, a large number of active sites in MOFs endow them with the characteristics of modification by postsynthetic modification. Herein, a dual-modal PDT/PTT therapeutic agent HMIL-121-acriflavine-tetrakis (4-amoniophenyl) porphyrin (HMIL-ACF-Por), prepared by the postsynthetic modification of the MOF (HMIL-121), was reported for antibacterial applications. The prepared HMIL-ACF-Por enables the generation of abundant reactive oxygen species, including the superoxide anion radical (O2-) and singlet oxygen (1O2), and thermal energy under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. HMIL-ACF-Por showed good antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. Meanwhile, HMIL-ACF-Por can effectively inhibit the inflammatory response caused by bacterial infection and accelerate S. aureus-infected wound healing under laser irradiation owing to the synergistic effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). These results demonstrate that HMIL-ACF-Por is a promising PDT/PTT therapeutic agent. This work also contributes to offering an effective solution for treating bacterial infections and promotes the application of MOF-based materials in biomedicine.

Abstract
With the growing need for more effective tumour treatment, piezocatalytic therapy has emerged as a promising approach due to its distinctive capacities to generate ROS through stress induction and regulate the hypoxic state of the TME. MOF-based piezocatalysts not only possess the benefits of piezocatalysis but also exhibit several advantages associated with MOFs, such as tunable pore size, large specific surface area, and good biocompatibility. Therefore, they are expected to become a powerful promoter of piezocatalytic therapy. This review elaborates on the fundamental principles of piezocatalysis and summarises recent advances in the piezocatalytic therapy and combination therapies of tumours, generalising the strategies for constructing piezocatalytic systems based on MOFs. Finally, the challenges confronted and future opportunities for the design and application of piezocatalytic MOF anticancer systems have been discussed.

Abstract
Phototherapy, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has been considered an elegant solution to eradicate tumors due to its minimal invasiveness and low systemic toxicity. Nevertheless, it is still challenging for phototherapy to achieve ideal outcomes and clinical translation due to its inherent drawbacks. Owing to the unique biological functions, diverse gases have attracted growing attention in combining with phototherapy to achieve super-additive therapeutic effects. Specifically, gases such as nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been proven to kill tumor cells by inducing mitochondrial damage in synergy with phototherapy. Additionally, several gases not only enhance the thermal damage in PTT and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in PDT but also improve the tumor accumulation of photoactive agents. The inflammatory responses triggered by hyperthermia in PTT are also suppressed by the combination of gases. Herein, we comprehensively review the latest studies on gas-synergized phototherapy for cancer therapy, including (1) synergistic mechanisms of combining gases with phototherapy; (2) design of nanoplatforms for gas-synergized phototherapy; (3) multimodal therapy based on gas-synergized phototherapy; (4) imaging-guided gas-synergized phototherapy. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities of gas-synergized phototherapy for tumor treatment are discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. The novelty and significance of the work with respect to the existing literature. (1) Strategies to design nanoplatforms for gas-synergized anti-tumor phototherapy have been summarized for the first time. Meanwhile, the integration of various imaging technologies and therapy modalities which endow these nanoplatforms with advanced theranostic capabilities has been summarized. (2) The mechanisms by which gases synergize with phototherapy to eradicate tumors are innovatively and comprehensively summarized. 2. The scientific impact and interest. This review elaborates current trends in gas-synergized anti-tumor phototherapy, with special emphases on synergistic anti-tumor mechanisms and rational design of therapeutic nanoplatforms to achieve this synergistic therapy. It aims to provide valuable guidance for researchers in this field.

Abstract
As society progresses and industrializes, the issue of water pollution, caused by a wide array of organic and inorganic pollutants, poses significant risks to both human well-being and the environment. Given its distinctive characteristics, water pollution has become a paramount concern for society, necessitating immediate attention. Numerous studies have been conducted on wastewater treatment, primarily focusing on two key approaches: adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. Adsorption offers unparalleled advantages, including its simplicity, high removal efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Conversely, photocatalysis harnesses abundant, clean, and non-polluting sunlight, addressing the critical issue of energy scarcity. Porphyrins, which are macrocyclic tetrapyrrole derivatives found widely in nature, have attracted growing interest in recent years. These lipophilic pigments exhibit remarkable chemical stability and have retained their major structural features for up to 1.1 billion years. As such, they are considered vital indicators of life and have been extensively studied, from the remnants of extinct organisms to gain insights into the principles of evolution. Porphyrins are often associated with a central metal ion within their ring system and can be modified through various substituents, including additional rings or ring opening, resulting in a wide range of functionalities. This comprehensive review summarizes recent advancements in the field of porphyrins. It begins by introducing the structures and preparation methods of porphyrins. Subsequently, it delves into notable applications of porphyrins in the context of pollutant adsorption in water and their environmentally friendly photocatalytic degradation.

Abstract
In recent years, considerable attention has been given to phototherapy, including photothermal and photodynamic therapy to kill tumor cells by producing heat or reactive oxygen species (ROS). It has the high merits of noninvasiveness and limited drug resistance. To fully utilize this therapy, an extraordinary nanovehicle is required to target phototherapeutic agents in the tumor cells. Nanovesicles embody an ideal strategy for drug delivery applications. Cell membrane-derived biomimetic nanovesicles represent a developing type of nanocarrier. Combining this technique with cancer phototherapy could enable a novel strategy.

Abstract
Cancer cells alter mechanical tension in their cell membranes. New interventions to regulate cell membrane tension present a potential strategy for cancer therapy. Herein, the increase of cell membrane tension by cholesterol oxidase (COD) via cholesterol depletion in vitro and the design of a COD-functionalized nanoscale metal-organic framework, Hf-TBP/COD, for cholesterol depletion and mechanoregulation of tumors in vivo, are reported. COD is found to deplete cholesterol and disrupt the mechanical properties of lipid bilayers, leading to decreased cell proliferation, migration, and tolerance to oxidative stress. Hf-TBP/COD increases mechanical tension of plasma membranes and osmotic fragility of cancer cells, which induces influx of calcium ions, inhibits cell migration, increases rupturing propensity for effective caspase-1 mediated pyroptosis, and decreases tolerance to oxidative stress. In the tumor microenvironment, Hf-TBP/COD downregulates multiple immunosuppressive checkpoints to reinvigorate T cells and enhance T cell infiltration. Compared to Hf-TBP, Hf-TBP/COD improves anti-tumor immune response and tumor growth inhibition from 54.3% and 79.8% to 91.7% and 95% in a subcutaneous triple-negative breast cancer model and a colon cancer model, respectively.

Core-shell inorganic NP@MOF nanostructures for targeted drug delivery and multimodal imaging-guided combination tumor treatment. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 321:103007.

Abstract
It is well known that metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructures have unique characteristics such as high porosity, large surface areas and adjustable functionalities, so they are ideal candidates for developing drug delivery systems (DDSs) as well as theranostic platforms in cancer treatment. Despite the large number of MOF nanostructures that have been discovered, conventional MOF-derived nanosystems only have a single biofunctional MOF source with poor colloidal stability. Accordingly, developing core-shell MOF nanostructures with good colloidal stability is a useful method for generating efficient drug delivery, multimodal imaging and synergistic therapeutic systems. The preparation of core-shell MOF nanostructures has been done with a variety of materials, but inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are highly effective for drug delivery and imaging-guided tumor treatment. Herein, we aimed to overview the synthesis of core-shell inorganic NP@MOF nanostructures followed by the application of core-shell MOFs derived from magnetic, quantum dots (QDs), gold (Au), and gadolinium (Gd) NPs in drug delivery and imaging-guided tumor treatment. Afterward, we surveyed different factors affecting prolonged drug delivery and cancer therapy, cellular uptake, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect of core-shell MOFs. Last but not least, we discussed the challenges and the prospects of the field. We envision this article may hold great promise in providing valuable insights regarding the application of hybrid nanostructures as promising and potential candidates for multimodal imaging-guided combination cancer therapy.

Abstract
Recently, metal-based drugs have attracted relentless interest in the biomedical field. However, their short excitation/emission wavelengths and unsatisfactory therapeutic efficiency limit their biological applications in vivo. Currently, the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) provides more accurate imaging and therapeutic options. Thus, there has been a constant focus on developing multifunctional NIR metal agents for imaging and therapy that have deeper tissue penetration. Fortunately, supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) formed by the coordination-driven self-assembly of NIR-II emissive ligands can address the above issues. Importantly, metal receptors with chemotherapeutic properties in SCCs can bind to luminescent ligands, thus becoming a versatile therapeutic platform for chemotherapy, imaging and phototherapy. In this context, we systematically summarize the evolution of NIR-II emissive SCCs for biomedical applications and discuss future challenges and prospects.

Abstract
Porphyrin-based photosensitizers have been widely utilized in photodynamic therapy (PDT), but they suffer from deteriorating fluorescence and reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to their close π-π stacking. Herein, a biocompatible pure organic porphyrin nanocage (Py-Cage) with enhanced both type I and type II ROS generation is reported for PDT. The porphyrin skeleton within the Py-Cage is spatially separated by four biphenyls to avoid the close π-π stacking within the nanocage. The Py-Cage showed a large cavity and high porosity with a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of over 300 m2 g-1, facilitating a close contact between the Py-Cage and oxygen, as well as the fast release of ROS to the surrounding microenvironment. The Py-Cage shows superb ROS generation performance over its precursors and commercial ones such as Chlorin E6 and Rose Bengal. Intriguingly, the cationic π-conjugated Py-Cage also shows promising type I ROS (superoxide and hydroxyl radicals) generation that is more promising for hypoxic tumor treatment. Both in vitro cell and in vivo animal experiments further confirm the excellent antitumor activity of the Py-Cage. As compared to conventional metal coordination approaches to improve PDT efficacy of porphyrin derivatives, the pure organic porous Py-Cage demonstrates excellent biocompatibility, which is further verified in both mice and rats. This work of an organic porous nanocage shall provide a new paradigm for the design of novel, biocompatible and effective photosensitizers for PDT.

Abstract
Precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors currently still face considerable challenges due to the development of highly degreed heterogeneity in the dynamic evolution of tumors. With the rapid development of genomics, personalized diagnosis and treatment using specific genes may be a robust strategy to break through the bottleneck of traditional tumor treatment. Nevertheless, efficient in vivo gene delivery has been frequently hampered by the inherent defects of vectors and various biological barriers. Encouragingly, spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) with good modularity and programmability are excellent candidates capable of addressing traditional gene transfer-associated issues, which enables SNAs a precision nanoplatform with great potential for diverse biomedical applications. In this regard, there have been detailed reviews of SNA in drug delivery, gene regulation, and dermatology treatment. Still, to the best of our knowledge, there is no published systematic review summarizing the use of SNAs in oncology precision medicine and immunotherapy, which are considered new guidelines for oncology treatment. To this end, we summarized the notable advances in SNAs-based precision therapy and immunotherapy for tumors following a classification standard of different types of precise spatiotemporal control on active species by SNAs. Specifically, we focus on the structural diversity and programmability of SNAs. Finally, the challenges and possible solutions were discussed in the concluding remarks. This review will promote the rational design and development of SNAs for tumor-precise medicine and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles integrating accurate multi-diagnosis and efficient therapy hold great prospects in tumor theranostics. However, it is still a challenging task to develop multifunctional nanoparticles for imaging-guided effective eradication of tumors. Herein, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) organic agent Aza/I-BDP by coupling 2,6-diiodo-dipyrromethene (2,6-diiodo-BODIPY) with aza-boron-dipyrromethene (Aza-BODIPY). Through encapsulating with an amphiphilic biocompatible copolymer DSPE-mPEG5000, well-distributed Aza/I-BDP nanoparticles (NPs) were developed, which exhibited high 1O2 generation, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and excellent photo-stability. Notably, coassembly of Aza/I-BDP and DSPE-mPEG5000 effectively inhibits H-aggregation of Aza/I-BDP in aqueous solution and enhances the brightness simultaneously up to 31-fold. More importantly, in vivo experiments demonstrated that Aza/I-BDP NPs might be used for NIR fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging-guided photodynamic and photothermal therapy.

[PMID: 37764456 PMCID: PMC10535165 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The heavy metal contamination of water systems has become a major environmental concern worldwide. Photocatalysis using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a promising approach for heavy metal remediation, owing to the ability of MOFs to fully degrade contaminants through redox reactions that are driven by photogenerated charge carriers. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent developments in MOF-based photocatalysts for removing and decontaminating heavy metals from water. The tunable nature of MOFs allows the rational design of composition and features to enhance light harvesting, charge separation, pollutant absorptivity, and photocatalytic activities. Key strategies employed include metal coordination tuning, organic ligand functionalization, heteroatom doping, plasmonic nanoparticle incorporation, defect engineering, and morphology control. The mechanisms involved in the interactions between MOF photocatalysts and heavy metal contaminants are discussed, including light absorption, charge carrier separation, metal ion adsorption, and photocatalytic redox reactions. The review highlights diverse applications of MOF photocatalysts in treating heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, silver, arsenic, nickel, etc. in water remediation. Kinetic modeling provides vital insights into the complex interplay between coupled processes such as adsorption and photocatalytic degradation that influence treatment efficiency. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is also crucial for evaluating the sustainability of MOF-based technologies. By elucidating the latest advances, current challenges, and future opportunities, this review provides insights into the potential of MOF-based photocatalysts as a sustainable technology for addressing the critical issue of heavy metal pollution in water systems. Ongoing efforts are needed to address the issues of stability, recyclability, scalable synthesis, and practical reactor engineering.

Abstract
With an increasing proportion of drug-resistant bacteria, photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising alternative to antibiotic treatment for infected diabetic skin ulcers. However, the inevitable thermal damage to the tissues restricts its clinical practice. Carbon monoxide (CO), as a bioactive gas molecule, can selectively inhibit bacterial growth and promote tissue regeneration, which may be coordinated with PTT for drug-resistant bacteria killing and tissue protection. Herein, a CO-mediated PTT agent (CO@mPDA) was engineered by loading manganese carbonyl groups into mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) nanoparticles via coordination interactions between the metal center and a catechol group. Compared to the traditional PTT, the CO-mediated PTT increases the inhibition ratio of the drug-resistant bacteria both in vitro and in diabetic wound beds by selectively inhibiting the co-chaperone of the heat shock protein 90 kDa (Hsp90), and lowers the heat resistance of the bacteria rather than the mammalian tissues. Meanwhile, the tissue-protective proteins, such as Hsp90 and vimentin (Vim), are upregulated via the WNT and PI3K-Akt pathways to reduce thermal injury, especially with a laser with a high-power density. The CO-mediated PTT unified the bacterial killing with tissue protection, which offers a promising concept to improve PTT efficiency and minimize the side-effects of PTT when treating infected skin wounds.

Abstract
Although many monometallic active sites have been installed in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for catalytic reactions, there are no effective strategies to generate bimetallic catalysts in MOFs. Here we report the synthesis of a robust, efficient, and reusable MOF catalyst, MOF-NiH, by adaptively generating and stabilizing dinickel active sites using the bipyridine groups in MOF-253 with the formula of Al(OH)(2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylate) for Z-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes and selective hydrogenation of C=C bonds in α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. Spectroscopic studies established the dinickel complex (bpy⋅- )NiII (μ2 -H)2 NiII (bpy⋅- ) as the active catalyst. MOF-NiH efficiently catalyzed selective hydrogenation reactions with turnover numbers of up to 192 and could be used in five cycles of hydrogenation reactions without catalyst leaching or significant decrease of catalytic activities. The present work uncovers a synthetic strategy toward solution-inaccessible Earth-abundant bimetallic MOF catalysts for sustainable catalysis.

Abstract
Non-invasive control of the drug molecules accessibility is a key issue in improving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some studies have explored the spatiotemporal control by light as a peripheral stimulus. Phototriggered drug delivery systems (PTDDSs) have received interest in the past decade among biological researchers due to their capability the control drug release. To this end, a wide range of phototrigger molecular structures participated in the DDSs to serve additional efficiency and a high-conversion release of active fragments under light irradiation. Up to now, several categories of PTDDSs have been extended to upgrade the performance of controlled delivery of therapeutic agents based on well-known phototrigger molecular structures like o-nitrobenzyl, coumarinyl, anthracenyl, quinolinyl, o-hydroxycinnamate and hydroxyphenacyl, where either of one endows an exclusive feature and distinct mechanistic approach. This review conveys the design, photochemical properties and essential mechanism of the most important phototriggered structures for the release of single and dual (similar or different) active molecules that have the ability to quickly reason of the large variety of dynamic biological phenomena for biomedical applications like photo-regulated drug release, synergistic outcomes, real-time monitoring, and biocompatibility potential.

Abstract
Copper and iron are the basic metal elements that have attracted much attention in industry. Prussian blue (PB) is a significant class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs); however, the lack of such linkages between the structure and properties, as well as properties differences, limits their potential applications. In this paper, the Cu-based Prussian blue nanocubes with and without Fe doping were synthesized. With the increasing reaction time, the morphology of the Cu-based Prussian blue nanocubes without Fe doping (PB:Cu NCs) changes from cuboidal to circular, and finally grows back to cuboidal. However, Cu-based Prussian blue nanocubes with Fe doping (PB: CuFe NCs) grow directly from the cube and eventually collapse. The nanocubes show a notable red shift with the tunable spectra from 400 nm to 700 nm. Compared with PB: Cu NCs, the PB: CuFe NCs have higher temperature rise under 808 nm irradiation and better photothermal efficacy. The catalytic efficiency of PB: CuFe NCs changes with the pH and reaches its maximum value of 1.021 mM with a pH of 5.5. The enhanced catalytic reaction by the near-infrared radiation plasmonic photothermal effect is also confirmed. This work highlights the potential of the developed PB: Cu and PB: CuFe NCs for photothermal-enhanced co-catalysis nanomaterials.

Abstract
Porphyrins are naturally occurring organic molecules that have attracted widespread attention for their potential in the field of biomedical research. Porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that utilize porphyrin molecules as organic ligands have gained attention from researchers due to their excellent results as photosensitizers in tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT). Additionally, MOFs hold significant promise and potential for other tumor therapeutic approaches due to their tunable size and pore size, excellent porosity, and ultra-high specific surface area. Active delivery of nanomaterials via targeted molecules for tumor therapy has demonstrated greater accumulation, lower drug doses, higher therapeutic efficacy, and reduced side effects relative to passive targeting through the enhanced permeation and retention effect (EPR). This paper presents a comprehensive review of the targeting methods employed by porphyrin-based MOFs in tumor targeting therapy over the past few years. It further discusses the applications of porphyrin-based MOFs for targeted cancer therapy through various therapeutic methods. The objective of this paper is to provide a valuable reference and source of ideas for targeted therapy using porphyrin-based MOF materials and to inspire further exploration of their potential in the field of cancer therapy.

Abstract
The selective capture of low-concentration CO2 from air or confined spaces remains a great challenge. In this study, various functional groups were introduced into UiO-66 to generate functionalized derivatives (UiO-66-R, R = NO2, NH2, OH, and CH3), aiming at significantly enhancing CO2 adsorption and separation efficiency. More significantly, UiO-66-NO2 and UiO-66-NH2 with high polarity exhibit exceptional CO2 affinity and optimal separation characteristics in mixed CO2/O2/N2 (1:21:78). In addition, the impressive stability of UiO-66-NO2 and UiO-66-NH2 endows them with excellent recycling stability. The effective adsorption and separation performances demonstrated by these two functional materials suggest their potential as promising physical adsorbents for capturing low-concentration CO2.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is a non-invasive and effective approach used for cancer treatment, in which phototherapeutic agents are irradiated with an appropriate light source to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) or heat to ablate cancer cells. Unfortunately, traditional phototherapy lacks a facile imaging method to monitor the therapeutic process and efficiency in real time, usually leading to severe side effects due to high levels of ROS and hyperthermia. To realize precise cancer treatment methods, it is highly desired to develop phototherapeutic agents possessing an imaging ability to evaluate the therapeutic process and efficacy in real time during cancer phototherapy. Recently, a series of self-reporting phototherapeutic agents were reported to monitor PDT and PTT processes by combining optical imaging technologies with phototherapy. Due to the real-time feedback provided by optical imaging technology, therapeutic responses or dynamic changes in the tumor microenvironment could be evaluated in a timely manner, thereby achieving personalized precision treatment and minimizing toxic side effects. In this review, we focus on the advances in the development of self-reporting phototherapeutic agents for a cancer phototherapy evaluation based on optical imaging technology to realize precision cancer treatments. Additionally, we propose the current challenges and future directions of self-reporting agents for precision medicine.

As a new type of organic optical nanomaterials, semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) have the advantages of good optical characteristics and photostability, low toxicity concerns, and relatively simple preparation processes. Particularly, near-infrared (NIR) absorbing SPNs have shown a great promise in biomedicine. In addition to acting as nanoprobes for molecular imaging, these SPNs can produce local heat and reactive oxygen species with the stimulation of NIR light, allowing photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), respectively. Herein, we summarize the recent development of SPN-based nanomedicines for cancer therapy. The rational designs of SPNs for enhanced PTT, PDT, or combinational PTT/PDT to achieve effective ablation of tumor tissues are highlighted. Via loading/conjugating SPNs with other therapeutic elements (such as chemotherapeutic drugs and immunotherapeutic agents), phototherapy-combined chemotherapy or immunotherapy can be realized, which is then discussed. In especial, the constructions of SPN-based nanomedicines for NIR photoactivatable chemotherapy and immunotherapy are introduced with representative examples. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and key concerns of SPNs for their biomedical applications and give an outlook for their future clinical translation. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Aptamer modified Zr-based porphyrinic nanoscale metal-organic frameworks for active-targeted chemo-photodynamic therapy of tumors. RSC Adv 2023; 13:11215-11224. [PMID: 37056970 PMCID: PMC10087063 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra00753g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Active-targeted nanoplatforms could specifically target tumors compared to normal cells, making them a promising therapeutic agent. The aptamer is a kind of short DNA or RNA sequence that can specifically bind to target molecules, and could be widely used as the active targeting agents of nanoplatforms to achieve active-targeted therapy of tumors. Herein, an aptamer modified nanoplatform DOX@PCN@Apt-M was designed for active-targeted chemo-photodynamic therapy of tumors. Zr-based porphyrinic nanoscale metal organic framework PCN-224 was synthesized through a one-pot reaction, which could produce cytotoxic 1O2 for efficient treatment of tumor cells. To improve the therapeutic effect of the tumor, the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into PCN-224 to form DOX@PCN-224 for tumor combination therapy. Active-targeted combination therapy achieved by modifying the MUC1 aptamer (Apt-M) onto DOX@PCN-224 surface can not only further reduce the dosage of therapeutic agents, but also reduce their toxic and side effects on normal tissues. In vitro, experimental results indicated that DOX@PCN@Apt-M exhibited enhanced combined therapeutic effect and active targeting efficiency under 808 nm laser irradiation for MCF-7 tumor cells. Based on PCN-224 nanocarriers and aptamer MUC1, this work provides a novel strategy for precisely targeting MCF-7 tumor cells.

Abstract
Conventional cancer therapies, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can have long-term side effects. Phototherapy has significant potential as a non-invasive alternative treatment with excellent selectivity. Nevertheless, its applicability is restricted by the availability of effective photosensitizers and photothermal agents, and its low efficacy when it comes to avoiding metastasis and tumor recurrence. Immunotherapy can promote systemic antitumoral immune responses, acting against metastasis and recurrence; however, it lacks the selectivity displayed by phototherapy, sometimes leading to adverse immune events. The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the biomedical field has grown significantly in recent years. Due to their distinct properties, including their porous structure, large surface area, and inherent photo-responsive properties, MOFs can be particularly useful in the fields of cancer phototherapy and immunotherapy. MOF nanoplatforms have successfully demonstrated their ability to address several drawbacks associated with cancer phototherapy and immunotherapy, enabling an effective and low-side-effect combinatorial synergistical treatment for cancer. In the coming years, new advancements in MOFs, particularly regarding the development of highly stable multi-function MOF nanocomposites, may revolutionize the field of oncology.

Abstract
Integration of singlet oxygen (1O2) detection that provides necessary therapeutic feedback into nanotheranostics for hypoxic tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT) is desirable but still challenging. Herein, we report a nanosensor (denominated PAPD) by combining dual-channel ratiometric sensing and oxygen-augmenting strategies, which synergistically realizes real-time 1O2 self-detection, O2 self-supply and enhanced phototherapy. PAPD nanosensor is constructed by encapsulating anthracene-based 1O2 sensitive fluorophore (DPA) into porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (PCN-224), decorating gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as nanoenzymes, and coating polyethylene glycol thiol (PEG-SH) by the Au-S bond. PCN-224 serves as 1O2 reference fluorescence (FL) agent and photosensitizer. Once PCN-224-induced 1O2 is synthesized, the dual-channel ratiometric FL signal of PAPD actualizes sensitive, accurate and dynamic 1O2 visualization and gives real-time therapeutic information correlated with the therapeutic progression. Additionally, the catalase-like activity of PAPD possesses in situ O2 production via intracellular H2O2 decomposition and accelerates 1O2 yields for amplifying the tumor cell killing efficiency. Moreover, the ratiometric 1O2 self-detection affords the capacity to evaluate the O2 self-supplying effect in tumor 4T1 cells. Consequently, the rational-designed nanosensor PAPD provides a paradigm for real-time therapeutic evaluation and precise hypoxic tumor treatment clinically.

Abstract
Scents are volatile compounds highly employed in a wide range of manufactured items, such as fine perfumery, household products, and functional foods. One of the main directions of the research in this area aims to enhance the longevity of scents by designing efficient delivery systems to control the release rate of these volatile molecules and also increase their stability. Several approaches to release scents in a controlled manner have been developed in recent years. Thus, different controlled release systems have been prepared, including polymers, metal-organic frameworks and mechanically interlocked systems, among others. This review is focused on the preparation of different scaffolds to accomplish a slow release of scents, by pointing out examples reported in the last five years. In addition to discuss selected examples, a critical perspective on the state of the art of this research field is provided, comparing the different types of scent delivery systems.

Insight into the Crosstalk between Photodynamic Therapy and Immunotherapy in Breast Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15051532.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the world's second most frequent malignancy and the leading cause of mortality among women. All in situ or invasive breast cancer derives from terminal tubulobular units; when the tumor is present only in the ducts or lobules in situ, it is called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)/lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). The biggest risk factors are age, mutations in breast cancer genes 1 or 2 (BRCA1 or BRCA2), and dense breast tissue. Current treatments are associated with various side effects, recurrence, and poor quality of life. The critical role of the immune system in breast cancer progression/regression should always be considered. Several immunotherapy techniques for BC have been studied, including tumor-targeted antibodies (bispecific antibodies), adoptive T cell therapy, vaccinations, and immune checkpoint inhibition with anti-PD-1 antibodies. In the last decade, significant breakthroughs have been made in breast cancer immunotherapy. This advancement was principally prompted by cancer cells' escape of immune regulation and the tumor's subsequent resistance to traditional therapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown potential as a cancer treatment. It is less intrusive, more focused, and less damaging to normal cells and tissues. It entails the employment of a photosensitizer (PS) and a specific wavelength of light to create reactive oxygen species. Recently, an increasing number of studies have shown that PDT combined with immunotherapy improves the effect of tumor drugs and reduces tumor immune escape, improving the prognosis of breast cancer patients. Therefore, we objectively evaluate strategies for their limitations and benefits, which are critical to improving outcomes for breast cancer patients. In conclusion, we offer many avenues for further study on tailored immunotherapy, such as oxygen-enhanced PDT and nanoparticles.

Abstract
Up-conversion (or anti-Stokes) luminescence refers to the phenomenon whereby materials emit high energy, short-wavelength light upon excitation at longer wavelengths. Lanthanide-doped up-conversion nanoparticles (Ln-UCNPs) are widely used in biomedicine due to their excellent physical and chemical properties such as high penetration depth, low damage threshold and light conversion ability. Here, the latest developments in the synthesis and application of Ln-UCNPs are reviewed. First, methods used to synthesize Ln-UCNPs are introduced, and four strategies for enhancing up-conversion luminescence are analyzed, followed by an overview of the applications in phototherapy, bioimaging and biosensing. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of Ln-UCNPs are summarized.

Abstract
Oxygen quantification using luminescence has attracted considerable attention in various fields, including environmental monitoring and clinical analysis. Among the reported luminophores, trivalent lanthanide complexes have displayed characteristic narrow emission bands with high brightness. This bright emission is based on photo-sensitized energy transfer via organic triplet states. The organic triplet states in lanthanide complexes effectively react with the triplet oxygen, enabling oxygen quantification by lanthanide luminescence. Some TbIII and EuIII complexes with slow deactivation processes have also formed the excited state equilibrium, thus resulting in the emission-lifetime based oxygen sensing property. The combination of TbIII /EuIII emission, EuIII /SmIII emission, EuIII /ligand phosphorescence, and ligand fluorescence/ligand phosphorescence provide the ratiometric oxygen-sensing properties. Moreover, the reaction generates singlet oxygen species which exhibit numerous applications in the photo-medical field. The ligands with large π-conjugated aromatic systems, such as porphyrin, phthalocyanine, and polyaromatic compounds, induces highly efficient oxygen generation. The combination of effective luminescence with singlet-oxygen generation by the lanthanide complexes render them suitable for photo-driven theranostics. This review summarizes the research progress of lanthanide complexes with efficient oxygen-sensing and singlet-oxygen generation properties.

Abstract
New nanotechnologies for imaging molecules are widely being applied to visualize the expression of specific molecules (e.g., ions, biomarkers) for disease diagnosis. Among various nanoplatforms, nanozymes, which exhibit enzyme-like catalytic activities in vivo, have gained tremendously increasing attention in molecular imaging due to their unique properties such as diverse enzyme-mimicking activities, excellent biocompatibility, ease of surface tenability, and low cost. In addition, by integrating different nanoparticles with superparamagnetic, photoacoustic, fluorescence, and photothermal properties, the nanoenzymes are able to increase the imaging sensitivity and accuracy for better understanding the complexity and the biological process of disease. Moreover, these functions encourage the utilization of nanozymes as therapeutic agents to assist in treatment. In this review, we focus on the applications of nanozymes in molecular imaging and discuss the use of peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) with different imaging modalities. Further, the applications of nanozymes for cancer treatment, bacterial infection, and inflammation image-guided therapy are discussed. Overall, this review aims to provide a complete reference for research in the interdisciplinary fields of nanotechnology and molecular imaging to promote the advancement and clinical translation of novel biomimetic nanozymes.
