[PMID: 38972257 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.114074] [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: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
As the field of cancer therapeutics evolves, integrating two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with photo-immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach with significant potential to augment cancer treatment efficacy. These 2D nanomaterials include graphene-based 2D nanomaterials, 2D MXenes, 2D layered double hydroxides, black phosphorus nanosheets, 2D metal-organic frameworks, and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. They exhibit high load capacities, multiple functionalization pathways, optimal biocompatibility, and physiological stability. Predominantly, they function as anti-tumor delivery systems, amalgamating diverse therapeutic modalities, most notably phototherapy and immunotherapy, and the former is a recognized non-invasive treatment modality, and the latter represents the most promising anti-cancer strategy presently accessible. Thus, integrating phototherapy and immunotherapy founded on 2D nanomaterials unveils a novel paradigm in the war against cancer. This review delineates the latest developments in 2D nanomaterials as delivery systems for synergistic photo-immunotherapy in cancer treatment. We elaborate on the burgeoning realm of photo-immunotherapy, exploring the interplay between phototherapy and enhanced immune cells, immune response modulation, or immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments. Notably, the strategies to augment photo-immunotherapy have also been discussed. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives of these 2D nanomaterials in photo-immunotherapy.

Wu Y, Li X, Fu X, Huang X, Zhang S, Zhao N, Ma X, Saiding Q, Yang M, Tao W, Zhou X, Huang J. Innovative Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery Systems for Advanced Treatment of Posterior Segment Ocular Diseases. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2403399. [PMID: 39031809 PMCID: PMC11348104 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202403399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024]
Abstract
Funduscopic diseases, including diabetic retinopathy (DR) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), significantly impact global visual health, leading to impaired vision and irreversible blindness. Delivering drugs to the posterior segment of the eye remains a challenge due to the presence of multiple physiological and anatomical barriers. Conventional drug delivery methods often prove ineffective and may cause side effects. Nanomaterials, characterized by their small size, large surface area, tunable properties, and biocompatibility, enhance the permeability, stability, and targeting of drugs. Ocular nanomaterials encompass a wide range, including lipid nanomaterials, polymer nanomaterials, metal nanomaterials, carbon nanomaterials, quantum dot nanomaterials, and so on. These innovative materials, often combined with hydrogels and exosomes, are engineered to address multiple mechanisms, including macrophage polarization, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Compared to conventional modalities, nanomedicines achieve regulated and sustained delivery, reduced administration frequency, prolonged drug action, and minimized side effects. This study delves into the obstacles encountered in drug delivery to the posterior segment and highlights the progress facilitated by nanomedicine. Prospectively, these findings pave the way for next-generation ocular drug delivery systems and deeper clinical research, aiming to refine treatments, alleviate the burden on patients, and ultimately improve visual health globally.

Abstract
The threat posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the challenge of biofilm formation has highlighted the inadequacies of conventional antibacterial therapies, leading to increased interest in antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in recent years. This approach offers advantages such as minimal invasiveness, low systemic toxicity, and notable effectiveness against drug-resistant bacterial strains. Porphyrins and their derivatives, known for their high molar extinction coefficients and singlet oxygen quantum yields, have emerged as crucial photosensitizers in aPDT. However, their practical application is hindered by challenges such as poor water solubility and aggregation-induced quenching. To address these limitations, extensive research has focused on the development of porphyrin-based nanomaterials for aPDT, enhancing the efficacy of photodynamic sterilization and broadening the range of antimicrobial activity. This review provides an overview of various porphyrin-based nanomaterials utilized in aPDT and biofilm eradication in recent years, including porphyrin-loaded inorganic nanoparticles, porphyrin-based polymer assemblies, supramolecular assemblies, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Additionally, insights into the prospects of aPDT is offered, highlighting its potential for practical implementation.

Abstract
The traditional clinical approaches for oral cancer consist of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and so on. However, these treatments often induce side effects and exhibit limited efficacy. Photothermal therapy (PTT) emerges as a promising adjuvant treatment, utilizing photothermal agents (PTAs) to convert light energy into heat for tumor ablation. Another innovative approach, photodynamic therapy (PDT), leverages photosensitizers (PSs) and specific wavelength laser irradiation to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), offering an effective and non-toxic alternative. The relevant combination therapies have been reported in the field of oral cancer. Simultaneously, the advancement of nanomaterials has propelled the clinical application of PTT and PDT. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of PTT and PDT is required for better application in oral cancer treatment. Here, we review the use of PTT and PDT in oral cancer, including noble metal materials (e.g., Au nanoparticles), carbon materials (e.g., graphene oxide), organic dye molecules (e.g., indocyanine green), organic molecule-based agents (e.g., porphyrin-analog phthalocyanine) and other inorganic materials (e.g., MXenes), exemplify the advantages and disadvantages of common PTAs and PSs, and summarize the combination therapies of PTT with PDT, PTT/PDT with chemotherapy, PTT with radiotherapy, PTT/PDT with immunotherapy, and PTT/PDT with gene therapy in the treatment of oral cancer. The challenges related to the PTT/PDT combination therapy and potential solutions are also discussed.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:177. [PMID: 38391663 PMCID: PMC10885999 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11020177] [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: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Drug resistance substantially compromises antibiotic therapy and poses a serious threat to public health. Fusidic acid (FA) is commonly used to treat staphylococcal infections, such as pneumonia, osteomyelitis and skin infections. However, Gram-negative bacteria have natural resistance to FA, which is almost restrained in cell membranes due to the strong interactions between FA and phospholipids. Herein, we aim to utilize the strong FA-phospholipid interaction to pre-form a complex of FA with the exogenous phospholipid. The FA, in the form of an FA-phospholipid complex (FA-PC), no longer interacts with the endogenous membrane phospholipids and thus can be delivered into bacteria cells successfully. We found that the water solubility of FA (5 µg/mL) was improved to 133 µg/mL by forming the FA-PC (molar ratio 1:1). Furthermore, upon incubation for 6 h, the FA-PC (20 µg/mL) caused a 99.9% viability loss of E. coli and 99.1% loss of P. aeruginosa, while free FA did not work. The morphology of the elongated bacteria cells after treatment with the FA-PC was demonstrated by SEM. The successful intracellular delivery was shown by confocal laser scanning microscopy in the form of coumarin 6-PC (C6-PC), where C6 served as a fluorescent probe. Interestingly, the antibacterial effect of the FA-PC was significantly compromised by adding extra phospholipid in the medium, indicating that there may be a phospholipid-based transmembrane transport mechanism underlying the intracellular delivery of the FA-PC. This is the first report regarding FA-PC formation and its successful reversing of Gram-negative bacteria resistance to FA, and it provides a platform to reverse transmembrane delivery-related drug resistance. The ready availability of phospholipid and the simple preparation allow it to have great potential for clinical use.

Abstract
Oral biofilm is the main cause of pathologies affecting the hard and soft oral tissues around teeth. Its main components are the periodontal pathogens and other bacteria of the supragingival and subgingival biofilm. Different alternative strategies that could be adjuvants to the usual periodontal treatments used to eliminate biofilms are available. One of these methods is antimicrobial photodynamic therapy using VIS and water-filtered infrared-A combined with a photosensitizer. In this review, different recent studies were collected to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and the effectiveness of different types of photosensitizers.

Abstract
Increasing bacterial infections and growing resistance to available drugs pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. Although antibiotics are crucial in fighting bacterial infections, their excessive use not only weakens our immune system but also contributes to bacterial resistance. These negative effects have caused doctors to be troubled by the clinical application of antibiotics. Facing this challenge, it is urgent to explore a new antibacterial strategy. MXene has been extensively reported in tumor therapy and biosensors due to its wonderful performance. Due to its large specific surface area, remarkable chemical stability, hydrophilicity, wide interlayer spacing, and excellent adsorption and reduction ability, it has shown wonderful potential for biopharmaceutical applications. However, there are few antimicrobial evaluations on MXene. The current antimicrobial mechanisms of MXene mainly include physical damage, induced oxidative stress, and photothermal and photodynamic therapy. In this paper, we reviewed MXene-based antimicrobial composites and discussed the application of MXene in bacterial infections to guide further research in the antimicrobial field.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can significantly impair wound healing. Therefore, it is essential to develop wound dressings with high antimicrobial activity. Hydrogels are often used as wound dressings due to their excellent physicochemical properties. Herein, by cross linking sodium alginate (SA), agar (AG) with Ti3C2Tx MXene and Zinc ions (Zn2+), a biosafe composite hydrogel (MSG-Zn2+) was developed for fast and efficient sterilization treatment. The excellent photothermal properties of Ti3C2Tx MXene and the chemical antimicrobial activity of Zn2+ enable synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT)/chemical therapy in NIR biowindow with reduced power density and improved antimicrobial efficiency. More importantly, the incorporation of Zn2+ can enhance the effective contact between the hydrogel and bacteria, benefiting both photothermal and chemical antibacteria. In vitro antibacterial experiments showed that MSG-Zn2+ has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli). Cellular experiments showed that the hydrogel had excellent biocompatibility and the released Zn2+ stimulated cell migration. In addition, the prepared MSG-Zn2+ hydrogel has other advantages such as hydrophilic, high swelling, simple and low cost preparation, which meets the requirements of an economical wound dressing. This proposed work shows that this composite hydrogel MSG-Zn2+ has great potential for practical antimicrobial wound dressing applications.

Intratumor delivery of amino-modified graphene oxide as a multifunctional photothermal agent for efficient antitumor phototherapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:1108-1116. [PMID: 37657211 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.08.126] [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: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
Due to the high selectivity and non-invasive property, phototherapy has attracted increasing attention in the treatment of cancer. Targeted delivery and retention of photoactive agents in tumor tissue is of great significance and importance for safe and efficient phototherapy. Herein, we report a multifunctional nanomaterial photothermal agent, namely amino-modified graphene oxide (AGO) for anti-oral cancer photothermal therapy (PTT). Compared to the parental graphene oxide (GO) which has a negative charge and weak photothermal effect, AGO possesses a positive charge (∼+50 mV) and the significantly enhanced photothermal effect. Positive charge allows AGO to efficiently interact with tumor cells and retain in tumor tissue after intratumor injection. The enhanced photothermal effect allows AGO to achieve the tunable and efficient PTT. In vitro results show that AGO (15 μg/mL) reduces the viability of HSC-3 cells (oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line) to 5% under near infrared (NIR) irradiation (temperature increased to 58.4 °C). In vivo antitumor study shows that intratumor delivery of AGO (200 μg/mouse) has no inhibition effects on tumor growth (454% of initial tumor size) without NIR. With a single dose of NIR irradiation, however, AGO significantly reduces the tumor size to 25% of initial size in 1 of 4 mice, and even induces the complete tumor ablation in 3 of 4 mice. Furthermore, the injected AGO falls off along with the scab after PTT. Our findings indicate that AGO is a potential nano-photothermal agent for tunable, convenient and efficient anticancer PTT.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive and lethal form of malignant brain tumor, is a therapeutic challenge due to the drug filtration capabilities of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Interestingly, glioblastoma tends to resist apoptosis during chemotherapy, but is susceptible to ferroptosis. Developing therapies that can effectively target glioblastoma by crossing the BBB and evoke ferroptosis are, therefore, crucial for improving treatment outcomes. Herein, a versatile biomimetic nanoplatform, L-D-I/NPs, is designed that self-assembled by loading the antimalarial drug dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) onto lactoferrin (LF). This nanoplatform can selectively target glioblastoma by binding to low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) and crossing the BBB, thus inducing glioblastoma cell ferroptosis by boosting intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and iron overload. In addition, L-D-I/NPs have demonstrated the ability to effectively suppress the progression of orthotopic glioblastoma and significantly prolong survival in a mouse glioblastoma model. This nanoplatform has facilitated the application of non-chemotherapeutic drugs in tumor treatment with minimal adverse effects, paving the way for highly efficient ferroptosis-based therapies for glioblastoma.

Abstract
Inorganic antibacterial nanomaterials play an increasingly important role in addressing the growing threat of drug-resistant bacteria. Graphene oxide-silver nanoparticles composite (GO-AgNPs), as a kind of inorganic nanomaterials, have excellent antibacterial properties, showing promising potential in biomedical field. However, GO-AgNPs are terribly prone to sedimentation due to aggregation in physiological solutions, along with its non-environmental issues during the synthesis process, seriously limits the antibacterial application of GO-AgNPs in the biomedical field. To solve this problem, herein, polyethylene glycol-graphene oxide-silver nanoparticles composite (GO-AgNPs-PEG) were prepared by modifying GO-AgNPs with polyethylene glycol to enhance their dispersion stability in physiological solutions. In addition, GO-AgNPs-PEG were prepared with using the natural product gallic acid as a reductant and stabilizer, exhibiting the characteristic of environmentally friendly. Meanwhile, the dispersion stability and antibacterial activity of GO-AgNPs-PEG were characterized by various technical methods, it was found that GO-AgNPs-PEG can be stably dispersed in a variety of physiological solutions (e.g., physiological saline, phosphate buffer solution, Luria-Bertani medium, Murashige and Skoog medium) for more than one week. Moreover, the antibacterial properties of GO-AgNPs-PEG in physiological solutions were significantly better than those of GO-AgNPs. Furthermore, it was discovered that the antibacterial mechanism of GO-AgNPs-PEG was probably associated to destroying the integrity of bacterial cell walls and membranes. The findings in this work can provide new ideas and references for the development of new inorganic antibacterial nanomaterials with stable dispersion in physiological solutions.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy has the advantages of non-invasiveness, low toxicity, simple operation, a broad spectrum of antibacterial ability, and non-proneness to developing drug resistance, which provide it with irreplaceable superiority in fighting against microbial infection. The effect of photothermal therapy is closely related to the choice of photothermal agent. Conjugated nanomaterials are potential candidates for photothermal agents because of their easy modification, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, good photostability, and biodegradability. In this paper, the application of photothermal agents based on conjugated nanomaterials in photothermal antimicrobial treatment is reviewed, including conjugated small molecules, conjugated oligomers, conjugated polymers, and pseudo-conjugated polymers. At the same time, the application of conjugated nanomaterials in the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is briefly introduced. Finally, the research status, limitations, and prospects of photothermal therapy using conjugated nanomaterials as photothermal agents are discussed.

Abstract
Purpose: MXene is two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials that comprise transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides. Their unique nanostructure attributes it a special role in medical applications. However, bibliometric studies have not been conducted in this field. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the global scientific output of MXene in biomedical research, explore the current situation of this field in the past years and predicte its research hotpots. Methods: We utilized visual analysis softwares Citespace and Bibliometrix to analyze all relevant documents published in the period of 2011-2022. The bibliometric records were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. Results: A total of 1,489 publications were analyzed in this study. We observed that China is the country with the largest number of publications, with Sichuan University being the institution with the highest number of publications in this field. The most publications on MXene medicine research in the past year were found primarily in journals about Chemistry/Materials/Physics. Moreover, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces was found to be the most productive journal in this field. Co-cited references and keyword cluster analysis revealed that #antibacterial# and #photothermal therapy# are the research focus keyword and burst detection suggested that driven wearable electronics were newly-emergent research hot spots. Conclusion: Our bibliometric analysis indicates that research on MXene medical application remains an active field of study. At present, the research focus is on the application of MXene in the field of antibacterial taking advantage of its photothermal properties. In the future, wearable electronics is the research direction of MXene medical application.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has strong resistance to antibiotic therapy. In this regard, developing antibiotic-free antibacterial agents is of great significance to treat MRSA infections. Herein, we loaded Ti3C2Tx MXene nanomaterial in the non-crosslinked chitosan (CS) hydrogel. The obtained MX-CS hydrogel is expected to not only adsorb MRSA cells via CS-MRSA interactions, but also gather the MXene-induced photothermal hyperthermia, achieving the efficient and intensive anti-MRSA photothermal therapy. As a result, under NIR irradiation (808 nm, 1.6 W/cm2, 5 min), MX-CS showed a greater photothermal effect than MXene alone did (30 μg/mL, 49.9 °C for MX-CS and 46.5 °C for MXene). Importantly, MRSA cells were rapidly adsorbed on MX-CS hydrogel (containing 30 μg/mL MXene) and completely inhibited (99.18 %) under NIR irradiation for 5 min. In contrast, MXene (30 μg/mL) and CS hydrogel alone only inhibited 64.52 % and 23.72 % MRSA, respectively, significantly lower than the inhibition caused by MX-CS (P < 0.001). Interestingly, when the hyperthermia was depleted by a 37 °C water bath, the bacterial inhibition rate of MX-CS significantly decreased to 24.65 %. In conclusion, MX-CS hydrogel has a remarkable synergistic anti-MRSA activity by gathering MRSA cells and MXene-induced hyperthermia, and may have great potentials in treating MRSA-infected diseases.

Abstract
Over the last decades, photomedicine has made a significant impact and progress in treating superficial cancer. With tremendous efforts many of the technologies have entered clinical trials. Photothermal agents (PTAs) have been considered as emerging candidates for accelerating the outcome from photomedicine based cancer treatment. Besides various inorganic and organic candidates, 2D materials such as graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenum disulfide have shown significant potential for photothermal therapy (PTT). The properties such as high surface area to volume, biocompatibility, stability in physiological media, ease of synthesis and functionalization, and high photothermal conversion efficiency have made 2D nanomaterials wonderful candidates for PTT to treat cancer. The targeting or localized activation could be achieved when PTT is combined with chemotherapies, immunotherapies, or photodynamic therapy (PDT) to provide better outcomes with fewer side effects. Though significant development has been made in the field of phototherapeutic drugs, several challenges have restricted the use of PTT in clinical use and hence they have not yet been tested in large clinical trials. In this review, we attempted to discuss the progress, properties, applications, and challenges of 2D materials in the field of PTT and their application in photomedicine.

Abstract
Various factors could damage the structure and integrity of skin to cause wounds. Nonhealing or chronic wounds seriously affect the well-being of patients and bring heavy burdens to the society.

[PMID: 36968045 PMCID: PMC10038123 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra01276j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Today, finding novel nanomaterial-based strategies to combat bacterial resistance is an important field of science. MXene-based composites have shown excellent antimicrobial potential owing to their fascinating properties such as excellent photothermal effects, highly active sites, large interlayer spacing, unique chemical structures, and hydrophilicity; they have great potential to damage the bacterial cells by rupturing the bacterial cell membranes, enhancing the permeability across the membrane, causing DNA damages, reducing the metabolic activity, and generating oxidative stress. After inserting into or attaching on the surface of pathogenic bacteria, these two-dimensional structures can cause bacterial membrane disruption and cell content leakage owing to their sharp edges. Remarkably, MXenes and their composites with excellent photothermal performance have been studied in photothermal antibacterial therapy to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria and suppress chronic wound infections, thus providing new opportunities for multidrug-resistant bacteria-infected wound healing. But, details about the possible interactions between MXene-based nanosystems and bacterial cell membranes are rather scarce. Also, the mechanisms of photothermal antibacterial therapy as well as synergistic tactics including photothermal, photodynamic or chemo-photothermal therapy still need to be uncovered. This review endeavors to delineate critical issues pertaining to the application of MXene-based composites against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, focusing on their photocatalytic inactivation, physical damage, and photothermal antibacterial therapy. This review endeavors to delineate critical issues pertaining to the application of MXene-based composites against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.![]()

[PMID: 36590281 PMCID: PMC9800913 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.1097205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Cancer has been one of the leading factors of death around the world. Cancer patients usually have low 5-year survival rates and poor life quality requiring substantial improvement. In clinic, the presenting diagnostic strategies lack sensitivity with only a small proportion of patients can be accurately identified. For diagnosed patients, most of them are at the advanced stages thus being delayed to receive treatment. Therefore, it is eager to investigate and develop highly effective and accurate techniques for cancer early diagnosis and individualized therapy. Various nanoplatforms are emerging as imaging agents and drug carriers for cancer theranostics recently. Novel polymeric nanoagents, as a potent exemplar, have extraordinary merits, such as good stability, high biosafety and high drug loading efficacy, showing the great prospect for cancer early diagnosis and precise treatment. Herein, we review the recent advances in novel polymeric nanoagents and elucidate their synthesis procedures. We further introduce the applications of novel polymeric nanoagents in cancer diagnosis, treatment, and theranostics, as well as associated challenges and prospects in this field.

Abstract
Oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontitis and oral cancer, have a very high morbidity over the world. Basically, many oral diseases are commonly related to bacterial infections or cell malignant proliferation, and usually located on the superficial positions. These features allow the convenient and efficient application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for oral diseases, since PDT is ideally suitable for the diseases on superficial sites and has been widely used for antimicrobial and anticancer therapy. Photosensitizers (PSs) are an essential element in PDT, which induce the generation of a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon absorption of specific lights. Almost all the PSs are small molecules and commonly suffered from various problems in the PDT environment, such as low solubility and poor stability. Recently, reports on the nanomedicine-based PDT have been well documented. Various functionalized nanomaterials can serve either as the PSs carriers or the direct PSs, thus enhancing the PDT efficacy. Herein, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the features of different oral diseases and discuss the potential applications of nanomedicine-based PDT in the treatment of some common oral diseases. Also, the concerns and possible solutions for nanomaterials-mediated PDT are discussed.
