Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is the primary antioxidant in cells, and GSH consumption will break the redox balance in cells. Based on this, a method that uses high concentrations of GSH in the tumor microenvironment to trigger the redox reaction of Cu(II) to generate copper nanoprobes with fluorescence and tumor growth inhibition properties is proposed. The nanoprobe mainly exists in the form of Cu(I) and catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals. At the same time, a simple and controllable carbon micro-nano electrode is used to construct a single-cell sensing platform, which enable the detection of glutathione content in single living cells after Cu(II) treatment, providing an excellent example for detecting single-cell biomolecules.

Abstract
Clinically, open wounds caused by accidental trauma and surgical lesion resection are easily infected by external bacteria, hindering wound healing. Antibacterial photodynamic therapy has become a promising treatment strategy for wound infection. In this study, a novel antibacterial nanocomposite material (QMC NPs) was synthesized by curcumin, quaternized chitosan and mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles. The results showed that 150 μg/mL QMC NPs had good biocompatibility and exerted excellent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli after blue laser irradiation (450 nm, 1 W/cm2). In vivo, QMC NPs effectively treated bacterial infection and accelerated the healing of infected wounds in mice.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on intracellular Fenton reaction to produce highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) has played an essential role in tumor therapy. However, this therapy still needs to be improved by weakly acidic pH and over-expression of glutathione (GSH) in tumor microenvironment (TEM), which hinders its future application. Herein, we reported a multifunctional bimetallic composite nanoparticle MnO2@GA-Fe@CAI based on a metal polyphenol network (MPN) structure, which could reduce intracellular pH and endogenous GSH by remodeling tumor microenvironment to improve Fenton activity. MnO2 nanoparticles were prepared first and MnO2@GA-Fe nanoparticles with Fe3+ as central ion and gallic acid (GA) as surface ligands were prepared by the chelation reaction. Then, carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) was coupled with GA to form MnO2@GA-Fe@CAI. The properties of the bimetallic composite nanoparticles were studied, and the results showed that CAI could reduce intracellular pH. At the same time, MnO2 could deplete intracellular GSH and produce Mn2+ via redox reactions, which re-established the TME with low pH and GSH. In addition, GA reduced Fe3+ to Fe2+. Mn2+ and Fe2+ catalyzed the endogenous H2O2 to produce high-lever ROS to kill tumor cells. Compared with MnO2, MnO2@GA-Fe@CAI could reduce the tumor weight and volume for the xenograft MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice and the final tumor inhibition rate of 58.09 ± 5.77%, showing the improved therapeutic effect as well as the biological safety. Therefore, this study achieved the high-efficiency CDT effect catalyzed by bimetallic through reshaping the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has witnessed significant advancements in recent years due to its specific properties. Its association with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has also garnered increased attention due to its mutually reinforcing effects. However, achieving further enhancement of the CDT/PDT efficacy remains a major challenge. In this study, we have developed an integrated nanosystem comprising a Fenton catalyst and multifunctional photosensitizers to achieve triply enhanced CDT/PDT through photothermal effects, H2O2 elevation, and GSH consumption. We prepared nano-ZIF-8 vesicles as carriers to encapsulate ferrocene-(phenylboronic acid pinacol ester) conjugates (Fc-BE) and photosensitizers IR825. Subsequently, cinnamaldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-CA) was coated onto ZIF-8 through metal coordination interactions, resulting in the formation of active targeting nanoparticles (NPs@Fc-BE&IR825). Upon cellular internalization mediated by CD44 receptors, HA-CA elevated H2O2 levels, while released Fc-BE consumed GSH and catalyzed H2O2 to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Furthermore, NIR irradiation led to increased ·OH production and the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2), accompanied by a greater GSH consumption. This accelerated and strengthened amplification of oxidative stress can be harnessed to develop highly effective CDT/PDT nanoagents.

Abstract
Although conductive hydrogels (CHs) have been investigated as the wearable sensor in recent years, how to prepare the multifunctional CHs with long-term usability is still a big challenge. In this paper, we successfully prepared a kind of conductive and self-adhesive hydrogel with a simple method, and its excellent ductility makes it possible as a flexible strain sensor for intelligent monitoring. The CHs are constructed by poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polydopamine (PDA), and phytic acid (PA) through the freeze-thaw cycle method. The introduction of PA enhanced the intermolecular force with PVA and provided much H+ for augmented conductivity, while the catechol group on PDA endows the hydrogel with self-adhesion ability. The PVA/PA/PDA hydrogel can directly contact with the skin and adhere to it stably, which makes the hydrogel potentially a wearable strain sensor. The PVA/PA/PDA hydrogel can monitor human motion signals (including fingers, elbows, knees, etc.) in real-time and can accurately monitor tiny electrical signals for smile and handwriting recognition. Notably, the composite CHs can be used in a normal environment even after 4 months. Because of its excellent ductility, self-adhesiveness, and conductivity, the PVA/PA/PDA hydrogel provides a new idea for wearable bioelectronic sensors.

Abstract
Targeted drug delivery systems have gained great attention from the chemistry and biomedical fields in recent years due to the minimized harm to normal cells. When designing targeted drug delivery systems, the property of harmlessness to normal cells and the tracking ability of the whole process are quite crucial. These two characters can be brought into the related systems by applying a drug carrier that is self-luminescent and its drug release can be induced by the microenvironment of cancer cells. Therefore, the design and synthesis of drug delivery vehicles are significant for the fabrication of target drug delivery systems. Herein, we have synthesized a cysteine-responsive and fluorescent molecule, maleic acid-modified tetraphenylethylene derivative (MATPE), by a facile method. In addition, a drug delivery system with self-luminescence and cysteine-responsiveness based on the self-assembly of MATPE was fabricated. In this system, MATPE and cysteine both played dual roles as cysteine probe/drug carrier and emission-enhanced inducement/drug-release stimulus. The drug-release process was successfully realized in cancer cells and can be visualized, exhibiting great potential in the field of theranostics.

Abstract
In the quest for cancer treatment modalities with greater effectiveness, the combination of tumor immunotherapy and nanoparticle-based hyperthermia has emerged as a promising frontier. The present article provides a comprehensive review of recent advances and cutting-edge research in this burgeoning field and examines how these two treatment strategies can be effectively integrated. Tumor immunotherapy, which harnesses the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, has shown considerable promise. Concurrently, nanoparticle-based hyperthermia, which utilizes nanotechnology to promote selective cell death by raising the temperature of tumor cells, has emerged as an innovative therapeutic approach. While both strategies have individually shown potential, combination of the two modalities may amplify anti-tumor responses, with improved outcomes and reduced side effects. Key studies illustrating the synergistic effects of these two approaches are highlighted, and current challenges and future prospects in the field are discussed. As we stand on the precipice of a new era in cancer treatment, this review underscores the importance of continued research and collaboration in bringing these innovative treatments from the bench to the bedside.

Abstract
Given that light is hard to reach deep tumor tissue, how to enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy is a big challenge. Herein, we proposed the supramolecular polymer self-assemblies (HACP) with bis[2,4,5-trichloro-6 (pentyloxycar-bonyl) phenyl] oxalate as the cargos (HACP@CPPO) to realize the chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET)-induced generation of 1O2 in situ. HACP was prepared by cinnamaldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-CA) and β-cyclodextrin-modified protoporphyrin IX (β-CD-PPIX) via host-guest interactions. The CA moiety could elevate H2O2 levels for the enhanced production of chemical energy and macrocyclic CD could enhance the stacking distance of PPIX for enhanced 1O2 yield. Thus, HACP@CPPO exhibited excellent antitumor performance without light irradiation.

Abstract
In recent years, the association of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention due to their mutually reinforced property. Nevertheless, how to further strengthen their performance is still a big challenge. Given the PDT/CDT therapeutic mechanism, the H2O2 amount might affect their final performance. Thus, in this paper, our synthesized pH-responsive Fenton agents (ferrocene-cinnamaldehyde conjugates, Fc-CA) were encapsulated in hyaluronic acid (HA) coated porphyrin-based MOF to obtain supramolecular nano-particles (Fc-CA-PCN-HA). After the CD44-receptor mediated internalization, the released Fc-CA could further dissociate in the acidic pH micro-environment. The released CA can activate the NADPH oxidase to elevate the H2O2 amount which could be preferable to produce more ·OH through Fenton reaction for cancer cells apoptosis. Additionally, O2 was also generated in the CDT which could alleviate tumor hypoxia condition and be provided as the reactant for PDT to produce more 1O2. Thus, given the excellent cascade reactions induced therapeutic performance of Fc-CA-PCN-HA in vitro and in vivo, the H2O2-elevation strategy might further enhance the PDT/CDT outcomes.
