Abstract
The introduction of glucose oxidase, exhibiting characteristics of glucose consumption and H2O2 production, represents an emerging antineoplastic therapeutic approach that disrupts nutrient supply and promotes efficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the instability of natural enzymes and their low therapeutic efficacy significantly impede their broader application. In this context, 2D Ca2Mn8O16 nanosheets (CMO NSs) designed and engineered to serve as a high-performance nanozyme, enhancing the enzyodynamic effect for a ferroptosis-apoptosis synergistic tumor therapy, are presented. In addition to mimicking activities of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, oxidase, and peroxidase, the engineered CMO NSs exhibit glucose oxidase-mimicking activities. This feature contributes to their antitumor performance through cascade catalytic reactions, involving the disruption of glucose supply, self-supply of H2O2, and subsequent efficient ROS generation. The exogenous Ca2+ released from CMO NSs, along with the endogenous Ca2+ enrichment induced by ROS from the peroxidase- and oxidase-mimicking activities of CMO NSs, collectively mediate Ca2+ overload, leading to apoptosis. Importantly, the ferroptosis process is triggered synchronously through ROS output and glutathione consumption. The application of exogenous ultrasound stimulation further enhances the efficiency of ferroptosis-apoptosis synergistic tumor treatment. This work underscores the crucial role of enzyodynamic performance in ferroptosis-apoptosis synergistic therapy against tumors.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxic environment is an inevitable obstacle for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of melanoma. Herein, a multifunctional oxygen-generating hydrogel loaded with hyaluronic acid-chlorin e6 modified nanoceria and calcium peroxide (Gel-HCeC-CaO2) was developed for the phototherapy of melanoma. The thermo-sensitive hydrogel could act as a sustained drug delivery system to accumulate photosensitizers (chlorin e6, Ce6) around the tumor, followed by cellular uptake mediated by nanocarrier and hyaluronic acid (HA) targeting. The moderate sustained oxygen generation in the hydrogel was produced by the reaction of calcium peroxide (CaO2) with infiltrated H2O in the presence of catalase mimetic nanoceria. The developed Gel-HCeC-CaO2 could efficiently alleviate the hypoxia microenvironment of tumors as indicated by the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor -1α (HIF-1α), meeting the “once injection, repeat irradiation” strategy and enhanced PDT efficacy. The prolonged oxygen-generating phototherapy hydrogel system provided a new strategy for tumor hypoxia alleviation and PDT.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable attention as emerging nanomaterials. Based on their tunable size, high porosity, and large specific surface area, MOFs have a wide range of applications in the fields of chemistry, energy, and biomedicine. However, the MOF materials obtained from lanthanides with a unique electronic configuration as inorganic building units have unique properties such as optics, magnetism, and radioactivity. In this study, various synthetic methods for preparing MOF materials using lanthanides as inorganic building units are described. Combined with the characteristics of lanthanides, their application prospects of lanthanide-based MOFs in tumor diagnosis and treatment are emphasized. The authors hope to provide methodological reference for the construction of MOF materials of rare-earth elements, and to provide ideas and inspiration for their practical applications in the field of biomedicine.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new therapeutic system for cancer treatment that is less invasive and offers greater selectivity than chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. PDT employs irradiation light of known wavelength to excite a photosensitizer (PS) agent that undergoes photochemical reactions to release cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) that could trigger apoptosis or necrosis-induced cell death in tumor tissue. Nanoscale metal–organic frameworks (NMOFs) have unique structural advantages such as high porosity, large surface area, and tunable compositions that have attracted attention toward their use as photosensitizers or nanocarriers in PDT. They can be tailored for specific drug loading, targeting and release, hypoxia resistance, and with photoactive properties for efficient response to optical stimuli that enhance the efficacy of PDT. In this review, an overview of the basic chemistry of NMOFs, their design and use as photosensitizers in PDT, and as nanocarriers in synergistic therapies is presented. The review also discusses the morphology and size of NMOFs and their ability to improve photosensitizing properties and localize within a targeted tissue for effective and selective cancer cell death over healthy cells. Furthermore, targeting strategies that improve the overall PDT efficacy through stimulus-activated release and sub-cellular internalization are outlined with relevance to in vitro and in vivo studies from recent years.

Abstract
A growing body of research has illuminated that photodynamic therapy (PDT) serves as an important therapeutic strategy in oncology and has become a hot topic in recent years. Although numerous papers related to cancer PDT (CPDT) have been published, no bibliometric studies have been conducted to summarize the research landscape, and highlight the research trends and hotspots in this field. This study collected 5,804 records on CPDT published between 2000 and 2021 from Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and one online platform. The annual publication and citation results revealed significant increasing trends over the past 22 years. China and the United States, contributing 56.24% of the total publications, were the main driving force in this field. Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most prolific institution. Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy and Photochemistry and Photobiology were the most productive and most co-cited journals, respectively. All keywords were categorized into four clusters including studies on nanomaterial technology, clinical applications, mechanism, and photosensitizers. “nanotech-based PDT” and “enhanced PDT” were current research hotspots. In addition to several nano-related topics such as “nanosphere,” “nanoparticle,” “nanomaterial,” “nanoplatform,” “nanomedicine” and “gold nanoparticle,” the following topics including “photothermal therapy,” “metal organic framework,” “checkpoint blockade,” “tumor microenvironment,” “prodrug” also deserve further attention in the near future.

Abstract
Due to the limitations resulting from hypoxia and the self-aggregation of photosensitizers, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has not been applied clinically to treat most types of solid tumors. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a common metal-organic framework that has ultra-high porosity, an adjustable structure, good biocompatibility, and pH-induced biodegradability. In this review, we summarize the applications of ZIF-8 and its derivatives in PDT. This review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we summarize progress in the application of ZIF-8 to enhance PDT and realize theranostics. We discuss the use of ZIF-8 to avoid the self-aggregation of photosensitizers, alleviate hypoxia, increase the PDT penetration depth, and combine PDT with multi-modal imaging. In the second part, we summarize how ZIF-8 can achieve synergistic PDT with other anti-tumor therapies, including chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, chemodynamic therapy, starvation therapy, protein therapy, gene therapy, and immunotherapy. Finally, we highlight the challenges that must be overcome for ZIF-8 to be widely applied in PDT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review of ZIF-8-based nanoplatforms for PDT.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are important semiconductor materials with interesting photo-responsive properties. During the past, ZnO-based NPs have received considerable attention for photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to their biocompatibility and excellent potential of generating tumor-killing reactive oxygen species (ROS) through gentle photodynamic activation. This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments and improvements in optical properties of ZnO NPs as photosensitizers for PDT. The optical properties of ZnO-based photosensitizers are significantly dependent on their charge separation, absorption potential, band gap engineering, and surface area, which can be adjusted/tuned by doping, compositing, and morphology control. Here, we first summarize the recent progress in the charge separation capability, absorption potential, band gap engineering, and surface area of nanosized ZnO-based photosensitizers. Then, morphology control that is closely related to their synthesis method is discussed. Following on, the state-of-art for the ZnO-based NPs in the treatment of hypoxic tumors is comprehensively reviewed. Finally, we provide some outlooks on common targeted therapy methods for more effective tumor killing, including the attachment of small molecules, antibodies, ligands molecules, and receptors to NPs which further improve their selective distribution and targeting, hence improving the therapeutic effectiveness. The current review may provide useful guidance for the researchers who are interested in this promising dynamic cancer treatment technology.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy has been recently studied, bringing innovations regarding the reduction of exposure time to light by the patient. This work aimed to investigate the feasibility of using Coutarea hexandra (Jacq.) K. Schum (CHS) as a detector in photodynamic therapy measurements. For this, an irradiator containing a blue LED bulb lamp was utilized. The CHS samples were irradiated with ten doses from 0.60 up to 6.0 kJ/cm2, and six concentrations were prepared (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mg/ml) for the CHS detector samples. After irradiation, the detector samples were evaluated using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results showed the behavior of the CHS detector with doses and concentrations, its sensitivity, and its linearity was also evaluated both by Wavelength Method (WM) and the Kernel Principal Component Regression (KPCR) Statistical Method. The values obtained indicate that this method can be applied to the CHS sample detector. In conclusion, the CHS is a promising detector in the field of photodynamic therapy.
