Abstract
The current challenges in cancer treatment using conventional therapies have made the emergence of nanotechnology with more advancements. The exponential growth of nanoscience has drawn to develop nanomaterials (NMs) with therapeutic activities. NMs have enormous potential in cancer treatment by altering the drug toxicity profile. Nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced surface characteristics can diffuse more easily inside tumor cells, thus delivering an optimal concentration of drugs at tumor site while reducing the toxicity. Cancer cells can be targeted with greater affinity by utilizing NMs with tumor specific constituents. Furthermore, it bypasses the bottlenecks of indiscriminate biodistribution of the antitumor agent and high administration dosage. Here, we focus on the recent advances on the use of various nanomaterials for cancer treatment, including targeting cancer cell surfaces, tumor microenvironment (TME), organelles, and their mechanism of action. The paradigm shift in cancer management is achieved through the implementation of anticancer drug delivery using nano routes.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging of lysosomes provides a powerful tool to probe the lysosome physiology in living cells, yet the continuous light exposure inevitably causes lysosome damage and phototoxicity, which remains a formidable challenge. Here the long-term lysosome tracking with minimized photodamage was realized using a multifunctional nanoprobe, a platinum nanoparticle, and a quinacrine co-loaded nanogel. To construct the hybrid nanogel, cisplatin first functioned as cross-linker to withhold all components and then was reduced to a platinum nanoparticle in situ by ethanol. The platinum nanoparticle enabled a long-term quinacrine fluorescence imaging of lysosome by scavenging the light induced reactive oxygen species which could damage lysosomal membranes.

Abstract
In cancer nanomedicine, numerous studies have been conducted on the surface modification and transport capacity of nanoparticles (NPs); however, biological barriers, such as enzymatic degradation or non-specific delivery during circulation, remain to be cleared. Herein, we developed pH-sensitive NPs that degrade in an acidic environment and release 5-aminolevulinic acid (5ALA) to the target site. NPs were prepared by conjugating alginate with folic acid, followed by encapsulation of 5ALA through a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion method. The alginate-conjugated folic acid nanoparticles (AF NPs) were homogeneous in size, stable for a long time in aqueous suspension without aggregation, and non-toxic. AF NPs were small enough to efficiently infiltrate tumors (<50 nm) and were specifically internalized by cancer cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis. After the intracellular absorption of NPs, alginate was deprotonated in the lysosomes and released 5ALA, which was converted to protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) through mitochondrial heme synthesis. Our study outcomes demonstrated that AF NPs were not degraded by enzymes or other external factors before reaching cancer cells, and fluorescent precursors were specifically and accurately delivered to cancer cells to generate fluorescence.
