[PMID: 36858021 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a novel split-type electrochemical immunosensor based on controlled release strategy was proposed for sensitive analysis and detection of tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA19-9). Specifically, glucose (Glu) was encapsulated in carrier mesoporous silica (MSN) with encapsulation technology, and surface functionalized Zinc sulfide (ZnS) caps were used as "gatekeepers". The complex is formed by encapsulating Glu within MSN with ZnS (ZnS@MSN-Glu) as a signal amplifier labeled on the signal antibody (Ab2). And the Ab2 can detect the presence of antibodies. To reduce the interference of biological analysis, the immune recognition process of ZnS@MSN-Glu-Ab2 bioconjugate and antigen was carried out in 96-well microplate, which did not interfere with the electrochemical analysis process. Therefore, the low sensitivity detection caused by biofouling of nanomaterials and immunoreaction on the testing platform is eliminated. Subsequently, the opening and timed release of mesopores were controlled by external stimuli, the disulfide bond cleavage by dithiothreitol (DTT), and glucose was effectively released. Then nickel cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) were directly hydrothermally grown on carbon cloth (CC) electrodeposited with copper selenide (CuSe) nanosheets to construct three-dimensional (3D) cactus-like NiCo-LDH/CuSe/CC sensing platform. It can realize the catalytic oxidation of released glucose, triggering glucose-mediated signal amplification. The synergistic effect of the 3D cactus structure and active nanomaterials promotes electron conduction. Taking the detection of carbohydrate antigen CA19-9 as an example, the immunosensor shows a wide linear concentration range (0.001-100 U/mL) with the limit of detection of 0.0005 U/mL, realizing highly sensitive detection of CA19-9. This biosensing technique has considerable advantages and provides an innovative approach for trace detection of other biomarkers.

Abstract
Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are a popular material for applications in bioanalysis and imaging. Although individual QDs are bright, some applications benefit from the use of even brighter materials. One approach to achieve higher brightness is to form super-nanoparticle (super-NP) assemblies of many QDs. Here, we present the preparation, characterization, and utility of dextran-functionalized super-NP assemblies of QDs. Amphiphilic dextran was synthesized and used to encapsulate many hydrophobic QDs via a simple emulsion-based method. The resulting super-NP assemblies or "super-QDs" had hydrodynamic diameters of ca. 90-160 nm, were characterized at the ensemble and single-particle levels, had orders-of-magnitude superior brightness compared to individual QDs, and were non-blinking. Additionally, binary mixtures of red, green, and blue (RGB) colors of QDs were used to prepare super-QDs, including colors difficult to obtain from individual QDs (e.g., magenta). Tetrameric antibody complexes (TACs) enabled simple antibody conjugation for selective cellular immunolabeling and imaging with both an epifluorescence microscope and a smartphone-based platform. The technical limitations of the latter platform were overcome by the increased per-particle brightness of the super-QDs, and the super-QDs outperformed individual QDs in both cases. Overall, the super-QDs are a very promising material for bioanalysis and imaging applications where brightness is paramount.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) nanostructures, which can upconvert near-infrared (NIR) light with low energy to visible or UV light with higher energy, are investigated for theranostic applications. The surface of lanthanide (Ln)-doped UC nanostructures can be modified with different functional groups and bioconjugated with biomolecules for therapeutic systems. On the other hand, organic molecular-based UC nanostructures, by using the triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) UC mechanism, have high UC quantum yields and do not require high excitation power. In this review, the major UC mechanisms in different nanostructures have been introduced, including the Ln-doped UC mechanism and the TTA UC mechanism. The design and fabrication of Ln-doped UC nanostructures and TTA UC-based UC nanostructures for theranostic applications have been reviewed and discussed. In addition, the current progress in the application of UC nanostructures for diagnosis and therapy has been summarized, including tumor-targeted bioimaging and chemotherapy, image-guided diagnosis and phototherapy, NIR-triggered controlled drug releasing and bioimaging. We also provide insight into the development of emerging UC nanostructures in the field of theranostics.

Abstract
Despite exceptional morphological and physicochemical attributes, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are often employed as carriers or vectors. Moreover, these conventional MSNs often suffer from various limitations in biomedicine, such as reduced drug encapsulation efficacy, deprived compatibility, and poor degradability, resulting in poor therapeutic outcomes. To address these limitations, several modifications have been corroborated to fabricating hierarchically-engineered MSNs in terms of tuning the pore sizes, modifying the surfaces, and engineering of siliceous networks. Interestingly, the further advancements of engineered MSNs lead to the generation of highly complex and nature-mimicking structures, such as Janus-type, multi-podal, and flower-like architectures, as well as streamlined tadpole-like nanomotors. In this review, we present explicit discussions relevant to these advanced hierarchical architectures in different fields of biomedicine, including drug delivery, bioimaging, tissue engineering, and miscellaneous applications, such as photoluminescence, artificial enzymes, peptide enrichment, DNA detection, and biosensing, among others. Initially, we give a brief overview of diverse, innovative stimuli-responsive (pH, light, ultrasound, and thermos)- and targeted drug delivery strategies, along with discussions on recent advancements in cancer immune therapy and applicability of advanced MSNs in other ailments related to cardiac, vascular, and nervous systems, as well as diabetes. Then, we provide initiatives taken so far in clinical translation of various silica-based materials and their scope towards clinical translation. Finally, we summarize the review with interesting perspectives on lessons learned in exploring the biomedical applications of advanced MSNs and further requirements to be explored.

Abstract
A novel hybrid drug carrier has been designed, taking N-doped mesoporous carbon (NMCS) as the core and PEG-PEI as the outer shell. NMCS was functionalized with a photocleavable nitrobenzyl-based linker following a click reaction. Gemcitabine was loaded into NMCS prior to the functionalization via π-π stacking interactions. NIR and the pH-responsive behavior of NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI bestow the multifunctional drug carrier with the controlled release of gemcitabine triggered by dual stimuli. The NMCS core upconverts NIR light to UV, which is absorbed by a photosensitive molecular gate and results in its cleavage and drug release. Further, NMCS converts NIR to heat, which deforms the outside polymer shell, thus triggering the drug release process. The release can be promptly arrested if the NIR source is switched off. A promising gemcitabine release of 75% has been achieved within 24 h under the dual stimuli of pH and temperature. NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI produced reactive oxygen species (ROS), which were verified in FaDu cells using flow cytometry. In vitro experiments showed that the NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI-GEM hybrid particle can induce synergistic therapeutic effects in FADU cells when exposed to the NIR light.

Abstract
The development of feasible micro/nanoplatforms for various biomedical applications requires holistic research that explores scalable synthesis and design pathways and imposes an interdisciplinary integration of materials science, physical, medical, chemical, and biological knowledge. Thanks to their unique characteristics (i.e., structure, large specific surface areas, tuneability, versatility, and integrity), mesoporous materials have emerged as potential candidates for being part of micro/nanoplatforms for therapeutic, monitoring, and diagnostic applications. In this context, Fe-Pt mesoporous materials are excellent candidates to be part of biomedical micro/nanoplatforms, thanks to their chemical nature, structure, and magnetic properties, which endow them with magnetic locomotion, high cargo capability of therapeutic agents inside the mesoporous cavity, and large surface area for surface functionalization. However, the chemical stability in biological media and cytotoxicity of the Fe-Pt mesoporous material (without considering the effects of architecture and shape) are pivotal elements that determine the suitability of these materials for biomedical applications. This work demonstrates the following: (i) the potential of electrochemical deposition, based on the use of block copolymer micellar solutions as electrochemical media, as an easy, inexpensive, and scalable strategy to synthesize mesoporous Fe-Pt components with tunable chemical composition, porosity, magnetism, and shape (in this case films, but other architectures like nanowires can be easily fabricated using simultaneously hard templates); (ii) the excellent corrosion stability, which is comparable to bulk Au, and minimal chemical dissolution in biological media after 160 h of immersion (∼0.88% of Fe and ∼0.0019% of Pt), which confirms the robustness of Fe-Pt; and (iii) negligible cytotoxicity on HaCaT cells (human immortalized keratinocytes), which reinforces the biocompatibility of Fe-Pt mesoporous structures. Also, the presence of Fe-Pt mesoporous films seems to induce a slight increase in cell viability. These results confirm the biocompatibility of Fe-Pt mesoporous films, making them suitable for biomedical applications.

Abstract
During the past few decades, hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) based on a magnetic material and gold have attracted interest for applications in catalysis, diagnostics and nanomedicine. In this paper, magnetic CoFe2O4/Au HNPs with an average particle size of 20 nm, decorated with 2 nm gold clusters, were prepared using methionine as a reducer and an anchor between CoFe2O4 and gold. The methionine was used to grow the Au clusters to a solid gold shell (up to 10 gold deposition cycles). The obtained nanoparticles (NPs) were studied by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. The TEM images of the obtained HNPs showed that the surface of cobalt ferrite was covered with gold nanoclusters, the size of which slightly increased with an increase in the number of gold deposition cycles (from 2.12 ± 0.15 nm after 1 cycle to 2.46 ± 0.13 nm after 10 cycles). The density of the Au clusters on the cobalt ferrite surface insignificantly decreased during repeated stages of gold deposition: 21.4 ± 2.7 Au NPs/CoFe2O4 NP after 1 cycle, 19.0 ± 1.2 after 6 cycles and 18.0 ± 1.4 after 10 cycles. The magnetic measurements showed that the obtained HNPs possessed typical ferrimagnetic behavior, which corresponds to that of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. The toxicity evaluation of the synthesized HNPs on Chlorella vulgaris indicated that they can be applied to biomedical applications such as magnetic hyperthermia, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, bioimaging and biosensing.

Abstract
To improve the prognosis of cancer patients, methods of local cancer detection and treatment could be implemented. For that, iron-based nanomaterials (IBN) are particularly well-suited due to their biocompatibility and the various ways in which they can specifically target a tumor, i.e. through passive, active or magnetic targeting. Furthermore, when it is needed, IBN can be associated with well-known fluorescent compounds, such as dyes, clinically approved ICG, fluorescent proteins, or quantum dots. They may also be excited and detected using well-established optical methods, relying on scattering or fluorescent mechanisms, depending on whether IBN are associated with a fluorescent compound or not. Systems combining IBN with optical methods are diverse, thus enabling tumor detection in various ways. In addition, these systems provide a wealth of information, which is inaccessible with more standard diagnostic tools, such as single tumor cell detection, in particular by combining IBN with near-field scanning optical microscopy, dark-field microscopy, confocal microscopy or super-resolution microscopy, or the highlighting of certain dynamic phenomena such as the diffusion of a fluorescent compound in an organism, e.g. using fluorescence lifetime imaging, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, fluorescence anisotropy, or fluorescence tomography. Furthermore, they can in some cases be complemented by a therapeutic approach to destroy tumors, e.g. when the fluorescent compound is a drug, or when a technique such as photo-thermal or photodynamic therapy is employed. This review brings forward the idea that iron-based nanomaterials may be associated with various optical techniques to form a commercially available toolbox, which can serve to locally detect or treat cancer with a better efficacy than more standard medical approaches. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: New tools should be developed to improve cancer treatment outcome. For that, two closely-related aspects deserve to be considered, i.e. early tumor detection and local tumor treatment. Here, I present various types of iron-based nanomaterials, which can achieve this double objective when they interact with a beam of light under specific and accurately chosen conditions. Indeed, these materials are biocompatible and can be used/combined with most standard microscopic/optical methods. Thus, these systems enable on the one hand tumor cell detection with a high sensitivity, i.e. down to single tumor cell level, and on the other hand tumor destruction through various mechanisms in a controlled and localized manner by deciding whether or not to apply a beam of light and by having these nanomaterials specifically target tumor cells.

Abstract
Infectious or immune diseases have caused serious threat to human health due to their complexity and specificity, and emerging drug delivery systems (DDSs) have evolved into the most promising therapeutic strategy for drug-targeted therapy. Various mesoporous biomaterials are exploited and applied as efficient nanocarriers to loading drugs by virtue of their large surface area, high porosity, and prominent biocompatibility. Nanosized mesoporous nanocarriers show great potential in biomedical research, and it has become the research hotspot in the interdisciplinary field. Herein, recent progress and assembly mechanisms on mesoporous inorganic biomaterials (e.g., silica, carbon, metal oxide) are summarized systematically, and typical functionalization methods (i.e., hybridization, polymerization, and doping) for nanocarriers are also discussed in depth. Particularly, structure-activity relationship and the effect of physicochemical parameters of mesoporous biomaterials, including morphologies (e.g., hollow, core-shell), pore textures (e.g., pore size, pore volume), and surface features (e.g., roughness and hydrophilic/hydrophobic) in DDS application are overviewed and elucidated in detail. As one of the important development directions, advanced stimuli-responsive DDSs (e.g., pH, temperature, redox, ultrasound, light, magnetic field) are highlighted. Finally, the prospect of mesoporous biomaterials in disease therapeutics is stated, and it will open a new spring for the development of mesoporous nanocarriers.

Abstract
In situ incorporating versatile magnetic iron nanoparticles into ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) by means of synthetic methodology for functional integration is a great challenge. Inspired by the phenomenon of uniovular twins in nature, a homometallic [Fe9(μ3-O)4(O3PPh)3(O2CCMe3)13] ({Fe9P3}) cluster was synthesized and used as the ovulum to in situ produce dual-Fe nanoparticle (γ-Fe2O3 and Fe(PO3)3)-functionalized OMC (dual-Fe/OMC). In vitro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies showed a longitudinal relaxation (r 1) and transverse relaxation (r 2) of 9.74 and 26.59 mM-1 s-1 with a r 2/r 1 ratio of 2.73 at 0.5 T. The MRI performances were further examined by mouse model with a subcutaneous HeLa tumor. In addition, the low cytotoxicity, considerable loading capacity and delivery of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) were also studied in vitro. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the concept of uniovular twins in the one-pot preparation of dual-Fe/OMC for functional integration.

Abstract
In this work, two types of mesoporous carbon particles with different morphology, size, and pore structure have been functionalized with a self-immolative polymer sensitive to changes in pH and tested as drug nanocarriers. It is shown that their textural properties allow significantly higher loading capacity compared to typical mesoporous silica nanoparticles. In vial release experiments of a model Ru dye at pH 7.4 and 5 confirm the pH-responsiveness of the hybrid systems, showing that only small amounts of the cargo are released at physiological pH, whereas at slightly acidic pH (e.g., that of lysosomes), self-immolation takes place and a significant amount of the cargo is released. Cytotoxicity studies using human osteosarcoma cells show that the hybrid nanocarriers are not cytotoxic by themselves but induce significant cell growth inhibition when loaded with a chemotherapeutic drug such as doxorubicin. In preparation of an in vivo application, in vial responsiveness of the hybrid system to short-term pH-triggering is confirmed. The consecutive in vivo study shows no substantial cargo release over a period of 96 h under physiological pH conditions. Short-term exposure to acidic pH releases an experimental fluorescent cargo during and continuously after the triggering period over 72 h.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are a special type of engineered nanomaterials with outstanding optoelectronic properties that make them as a very promising alternative to conventional luminescent dyes in biomedical applications, including biomolecule (BM) targeting, luminescence imaging and drug delivery. A key parameter to ensure successful biomedical applications of QDs is the appropriate surface modification, i.e. the surface of the nanomaterials should be modified with the appropriate functional groups to ensure stability in aqueous solutions and it should be conjugated with recognition elements capable of ensuring an efficient tagging of the BMs of interest. In this review we summarize the most relevant strategies used for surface modification of QDs and for their conjugation to BMs in preparation of their application in nanoplatforms for luminescent BM sensing and imaging-guided targeting. The applications of conjugations of photoluminescent QDs with different BMs in both in vitro and in vivo chemical sensing, immunoassays or luminescence imaging are reviewed. Recent progress in the application of functionalized QDs in ultrasensitive detection in bioanalysis, diagnostics and imaging strategies are reported. Finally, some key future research goals in the progress of bioconjugation of QDs for diagnosis are identified, including novel synthetic approaches, the need for exhaustive characterization of bioconjugates and the design of signal amplification schemes.

Abstract
Recently, the design of a theranostics system has involved increasing attention in the area of biomedical applications. In many cases, the intricate synthesis process of upconversion nanoparticle-based composite materials limits the use of theranostics applications. To address this challenge, a nanocomposite has been successfully fabricated by the conjugation of magnetic NaGdF4:Yb/Er nanoparticles as an imaging agent and MIL-53(Fe) as a drug carrier through a single step. Simultaneously, folic acid is encapsulated on the surface of the nanocomposite by conjugation chemistry to achieve the targeted drug delivery applications. The synthesized nanocomposite exhibits a sufficient amount of loading ability toward the model anticancer doxorubicin and possesses pH-responsive drug release. The functionalized nanocomposite not only possesses excellent colloidal stability and good magnetic and fluorescence property but also shows superior biocompatibility, strong tumor cell growth inhibitory effect, and cancer-enhanced cellular uptake. It is expected that the synthesized nanocomposite can also serve as a platform for both T1 and T2 MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Despite extensive research on functional graphene oxide for anticancer drug delivery, the sensitivity of traditional protein targeting ligands to the environment limits the practical applications of targeted drug delivery. A unique molecularly imprinted magnetic graphene oxide was used as a novel drug delivery system for the treatment of tumors. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) synthesized by molecular imprinting technology have the advantages of good stability against chemical and enzymatic attacks, high specificity for a target template, and resistance to harsh environments. In our work, the MIP was used for specificity to tumor cells with carcino-embryonic (CEA) tumor markers as the template, and dopamine as the functional monomer was grafted on boronic acid-functionalized magnetic graphene oxide. The structure of the nanoparticles was optimized and characterized in detail by vibrating sample magnetometry, X-ray diffraction analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy, and flow cytometry. The prepared polymer has magnetic properties, specific recognition to CEA, biocompatibility and pH sensitivity for drug delivery. Cell culture research was carried out on the tumor cells and normal cells. The composites exhibited dual targeting properties that not only magnetically target but also specifically increase the drug cytotoxicity to the tumor cells by selectively binding to CEA. On the basis of these results, this study developed a novel approach for targeting tumor cells for drug delivery without needing to modify the protein ligand. In the research we designed a CEA-molecularly imprinted polymers using molecular imprinting technique with CEA tumor marker as template, boronic acid functionalized MGO as substrate for dual targeted delivery of drug to tumor cells.![]()

Abstract
A novel nanocarrier based-on hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres (HMCNs) with primary amines on its surface, a large cavity, and good hydrophilicity was synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. The primary amine functionalities on the mesoporous carbon were used as the initiation sites for growing poly (epichlorohydrin) (PCH) chains. The chlorine groups in the side chain of PCH were replaced with imidazole as the pendant groups. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) was applied as a capping agent. The coordination bonding was formed between pendant imidazole groups and calcium ions. Doxorubicin (DOX) was selected as a model of hydrophilic anticancer drug and was loaded onto the nanocarrier and released through the cleavage of the pH-sensitive coordination bonding. The gating mechanism enables the nanocarrier to store and release the calcium ions and the DOX molecules trapped in the pores. MTT assay toward HeLa cells indicated that the nanocarrier had low toxicity because of the surface modification with the oxygen-rich polymer. The cellular uptake of the pH-sensitive nanocarrier for HeLa cancer cell lines was confirmed by CLSM images and flow cytometry. So, the novel pH-sensitive nanocarrier can be applicable to carry and release both DOX drug and calcium ions for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Folic acid-conjugated magnetic ordered mesoporous carbon nanospheres (FA-MOMCNs) are developed as a targeting delivery vehicle of doxorubicin (DOX) in this work. Investigations on DOX loading mechanism show that the loading capacity of FA-MOMCNs is up to 577.12 mg g-1 by means of both physical porous adsorption and covalent interactions, and the pH-dependent drug release is achieved. Excellent biocompatibility of FA-MOMCNs with blood and cells is confirmed by hemolysis and cytotoxicity assays. With the assistance of effective passive and active targeting, DOX-loading FA-MOMCNs can be readily internalized into cancer cell, where the carried DOX can be efficiently released in the acidic microenvironment of the cancer cell for its proliferation inhibition. This controlled release and targeting vehicle of DOX makes it possible to reduce the toxic effect to normal tissues during circulation in the body and is promising for highly efficient chemotherapy.

Abstract
The detection and treatment of cancer cells at an early stage are crucial for prolonging the survival time and improving the quality of life of patients. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have unique physical and chemical advantages and likely provide a platform for detecting and treating cancer cells at an early stage. In this paper, the principle of UCNPs as chemical sensors based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been briefly introduced. Research progress in such chemical sensors for detecting and analyzing bioactive substances and heavy metal ions at the subcellular level has been summarized. The principle of UCNP-based nanoprobe-targeting of cancer cells has been described. The research progress in using nanocomposites for cancer cell detection, namely cancer cell targeted imaging and tissue staining, has been discussed. In the field of cancer treatment, the principles and research progress of UCNPs in photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy of cancer cells are systematically discussed. Finally, the prospects for UCNPs and remaining challenges to UCNP application in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment are briefly described. This review provides powerful theoretical guidance and useful practical information for the research and application of UCNPs in the field of cancer.

Abstract
In this study, a nanocarrier was prepared for the codelivery of a hydrophilic drug (doxorubicin) and a hydrophobic drug (curcumin) to cancer cells. In this nanocarrier, the edges of graphene oxide sheets were decorated with a magnetic-functionalized polyamidoamine dendrimer with hydrazone groups at the end of the polymer. The edge functionalization of graphene sheets not only improved the solubility and dispersibility of graphene sheets but also imparted the magnetic properties to the nanocarrier. The resulting nanocarrier was loaded with doxorubicin through the covalent linkage and curcumin through π-π stacking. The nanocarrier showed a pH-sensitive release for both drugs, and the drug release behavior was also improved by the coimmobilization of both drugs. The cytotoxicity assay of nanocarrier showed low toxicity toward MCF-7 cell compared to unmodified graphene oxide, which was attributed to the presence of a magnetic dendrimer. Besides, the drug-loaded nanocarrier was highly toxic for cells even more than for free drugs. The cellular uptake images revealed higher drug internalization for coloaded nanocarrier than for the nanocarrier loaded with one drug alone. All of the results showed that the codelivery of curcumin and doxorubicin in the presence of the nanocarrier was more effective in chemotherapy than the nanocarrier loaded with one drug.

Abstract
Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) are known as intrinsic radiolabeling agents and offer a fast and reliable approach to deliver theranostic agents into targeted organs. Radiolabeled amorphous silica nanoparticles are of great interest to radiation oncology communities. In order to improve the performance of these nano materials in cancer diagnosis and treatment, their inherent properties, such as surface area and the ability to accumulate in cancer cells, should be enhanced. Pyridine functionalized mesoporous silica MCM-41 is known as a potential anticancer-drug delivery system with high suface area. In thiswork, in order to produce an image-guided drug delivery system for diagnostic applications, [68Ga] radionuclide was grafted on pyridine functionalized MCM-41. The nanoparticles were assessed with atomic force microscopy (AFM), paper chromatography, X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, CHN and TGA/DTA analyses. The pharmacokinetic profile evaluation of the radiolabeled nano silica, [68Ga]-Py-Butyl@MCM-41, was done in Fibrosarcoma tumor-bearing mice. This labeled nanocomposite with appropriate blood circulation in body, high structural stability, high tumor/blood ID/g% ratio and fast excretion from the body can be proposed as an efficient nano engineered composite for upcoming tumor targeting/imaging nanotechnology-based applications.

Abstract
A new strategy for designing contrast agents (CAs) based on geometrical confinement will become a competent way to improve the relaxivity of CAs. Herein, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nanoconstruct is fabricated through loading Gd2O3 nanoparticles into mesoporous carbon nanospheres, followed by conjugation of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and the c(RGDyK) peptide (Gd2O3@OMCN-PEG-RGD), which could prolong the blood circulation half-life as well as improve the tumor-targeting ability. As a result, the Gd2O3@OMCN-PEG-RGD exhibits an outstandingly high relaxivity ( r1 = 68.02 mM-1 s-1), which is ∼5.3 times higher than that of Gd2O3 nanoparticles ( r1 = 12.74 mM-1 s-1). Afterward, both the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide test and H&E staining show that the Gd2O3@OMCN-PEG-RGD has wonderful biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the in vivo MR images indicate that the Gd2O3@OMCN-PEG-RGD could accumulate in the tumor region more rapidly than Gd2O3@OMCN-PEG. This study presents a facile method to fabricate an MRI CA with excellent T1 contrast ability based on geometrical confinement and excellent biocompatibility, which could act as an optimal contender for sensitive in vivo tumor imaging with outstanding targeting ability.

Abstract
Poly(acrylic acid)-poly(ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate) (PAA-PETPTA) Janus microspheres with "respiratory" function for controlled release were prepared by polymerization of acrylic acid-ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (AA-ETPTA) Janus microdroplets in a continuous oil phase in a simple capillary-based microfluidic device with the assistance of UV radiation. The flow rate ratios of AA and ETPTA phases and surfactant content in the continuous oil phase have a significant effect on the structure of the Janus microspheres. PAA part in the Janus microspheres has respiratory function for loading and release due to the different stimuli responses to different pHs. The hollow structure of PETPTA part with different sizes of opening serves as the host materials for PAA and could control release rate further due to the different opening sizes. The obtained PAA-PETPTA Janus microspheres showed high rhodamine B (RhB) loading of 860 mg g-1 and different controlled-release behavior in water with different pHs. The release rate increases with the increase of pH and the contact area of PAA part with water. The maximum controlled-release time for RhB was about 3 h in water with pH of 5. In addition, the Janus microspheres also showed controlled-release behavior for larger size guests, e.g., 150 nm polystyrene beads, which indicated a wide range of application. The loading and release behaviors for guests, for instance, for RhB, have almost no change even after six times of reuse, which indicated a high stability.

Abstract
PEGylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PEG-MWCNTs) were optimized as versatile vector for tumor-specific intracellular triggered release of doxorubicin (DOX), based on the effect of their length and PEGylation degree on the cytotoxicity and DOX-loading capacity. The length and surface carboxyl groups of the carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CMWCNTs) were easily tailored by adjusting the oxidation time. The longer CMWCNTs or those with high carboxyl group content showed obvious cytotoxicity, while the PEG-MWCNTs ≤ 300 nm showed better cytocompatibility. The PEG-MWCNTs-3 of about 300 nm was selected as drug delivery vector, possessing a high drug-loading capacity of 0.55 mg/mg. They released DOX rapidly under lower pH media mimicking the tumor microenvironment with cumulative release of 57% within 24 h, while the premature leakage under the simulated physiological condition was only 10%. The WST-1 assays demonstrated the DOX-loaded PEG-MWCNTs-3 exhibited the enhanced inhibitory efficiency against HepG2 cells, in comparison with free DOX.

Abstract
Carbon dots have demonstrated great potential as luminescent nanoparticles in bioapplications. Although such nanoparticles appear to exhibit low toxicity compared to other metal luminescent nanomaterials, today we know that the toxicity of carbon dots (C-dots) strongly depends on the protocol of fabrication. In this work, aqueous fluorescent C-dots have been synthesized from cinnamon, red chilli, turmeric and black pepper, by a one-pot green hydrothermal method. The synthesized C-dots were firstly characterized by means of UV-vis, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The optical performance showed an outstanding ability for imaging purposes, with quantum yields up to 43.6%. Thus, the cytotoxicity of the above mentioned spice-derived C-dots was evaluated in vitro in human glioblastoma cells (LN-229 cancer cell line) and in human kidney cells (HK-2 non-cancerous cell line). Bioimaging and viability studies were performed with different C-dot concentrations from 0.1 to 2 mg·mL-1, exhibiting a higher uptake of C-dots in the cancer cultures compared to the non-cancerous cells. Results showed that the spice-derived C-dots inhibited cell viability dose-dependently after a 24 h incubation period, displaying a higher toxicity in LN-229, than in HK-2 cells. As a control, C-dots synthesized from citric acid did not show any significant toxicity in either cancerous or non-cancerous cells, implying that the tumour cell growth inhibition properties observed in the spice-derived C-dots can be attributed to the starting material employed for their fabrication. These results evidence that functional groups in the surface of the C-dots might be responsible for the selective cytotoxicity, as suggested by the presence of piperine in the surface of black pepper C-dots analysed by ESI-QTOF-MS.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials have found numerous applications in various fields. However, their synthesis and functionalization usually require complicated procedures or tough experimental conditions. Herein, we report for the first time the synthesis of a new type of functional nanomaterial, quaternized carbon nanospheres (QCNSs), with superior antibacterial activity via a one-pot hydrothermal treatment of chitosan and hexadecylbetaine (abbreviated as BS-16). During the hydrothermal process, the direct reaction and carbonization between the amine-containing chitosan and the carboxyl-containing BS-16 were realized within only one step. The as-prepared QCNSs feature a well-defined spherical morphology and a homogeneous size distribution with an average diameter of ∼110 nm. In particular, the QCNSs could effectively kill Gram-positive bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2.0-5.0 μg mL-1. Meanwhile, the QCNSs showed excellent cytocompatibility towards normal human liver and lung cells and good hemocompatibility towards red blood cells. Moreover, in bacteria-infected macrophage cells, the QCNSs could selectively kill bacteria while the macrophage cells remained unaffected, which further confirmed their biocompatibility. Besides, we have also elucidated the antibacterial mechanism of the QCNSs by disrupting the bacterial cell walls/membranes via the bacterial adsorption and insertion of the long alkyl chain-containing quaternary ammonium groups on the particle surface. The present work provides a novel method for the preparation of functional carbon nanomaterials, which may promote the development of metal-free antibacterial agents.

Abstract
We present the synthesis and applications of multifunctional hollow porous carbon spheres with well-ordered pore architecture and ability to encapsulate functional nanoparticles. In the present work, the applications of hollow mesoporous carbon capsules (HMCCs) are illustrated in two different contexts. In the first approach, the hollow capsule core is used to encapsulate silver nanoparticles to impart antimicrobial characteristics. It is shown that silver-loaded HMCCs (concentration ∼100 μg/mL) inhibit the growth and multiplication of bacterial colonies of Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) up to 96% and 83%, respectively. In the second part, the fabrication of hierarchical micro- and nanostructured superhydrophobic coatings of HMCCs (without encapsulation with silver nanoparticles) is evaluated for anti-bioadhesion properties. Studies of protein adsorption and microorganism and platelet adhesion have shown a significant reduction (up to 100%) for the HMCC-based superhydrophobic surfaces compared with the control surfaces. Therefore, this unique architecture of HMCCs and their coatings with the ability to encapsulate functional materials make them a promising candidate for a variety of applications.

Abstract
The size, shape and chemical composition of europium (Eu3+) cobalt ferrite (CFEu) nanoparticles were optimized for use as a "multimodal imaging nanoprobe" for combined fluorescence and magnetic resonance bioimaging. Doping Eu3+ ions into a CF structure imparts unique bioimaging and magnetic properties to the nanostructure that can be used for real-time screening of targeted nanoformulations for tissue biodistribution assessment. The CFEu nanoparticles (size ∼7.2nm) were prepared by solvothermal techniques and encapsulated into poloxamer 407-coated mesoporous silica (Si-P407) to form superparamagnetic monodisperse Si-CFEu nanoparticles with a size of ∼140nm. Folic acid (FA) nanoparticle decoration (FA-Si-CFEu, size ∼140nm) facilitated monocyte-derived macrophage (MDM) targeting. FA-Si-CFEu MDM uptake and retention was higher than seen with Si-CFEu nanoparticles. The transverse relaxivity of both Si-CFEu and FA-Si-CFEu particles were r2=433.42mM-1s-1 and r2=419.52mM-1s-1 (in saline) and r2=736.57mM-1s-1 and r2=814.41mM-1s-1 (in MDM), respectively. The results were greater than a log order-of-magnitude than what was observed at replicate iron concentrations for ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particles (r2=31.15mM-1s-1 in saline) and paralleled data sets obtained for T2 magnetic resonance imaging. We now provide a developmental opportunity to employ these novel particles for theranostic drug distribution and efficacy evaluations. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE A novel europium (Eu3+) doped cobalt ferrite (Si-CFEu) nanoparticle was produced for use as a bioimaging probe. Its notable multifunctional, fluorescence and imaging properties, allows rapid screening of future drug biodistribution. Decoration of the Si-CFEu particles with folic acid increased its sensitivity and specificity for magnetic resonance imaging over a more conventional ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particles. The future use of these particles in theranostic tests will serve as a platform for designing improved drug delivery strategies to combat inflammatory and infectious diseases.

Abstract
The application of nanotechnology to medicine constitutes a major field of research nowadays. In particular, the use of mesoporous silica and carbon nanoparticles has attracted the attention of numerous researchers due to their unique properties, especially when applied to cancer treatment. Many strategies based on stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have been developed to control the drug release and avoid premature release. Here, we focus on the use of the subtle changes of pH between healthy and diseased areas along the body to trigger the release of the cargo. In this review, different approximations of pH-responsive systems are considered: those based on the use of the host-guest interactions between the nanocarriers and the drugs, those based on the hydrolysis of acid-labile bonds and those based on supramolecular structures acting as pore capping agents.
