Abstract
As a form of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD) suffers from no efficacious cure, yet AD treatment is still imperative, as it ameliorates the symptoms or prevents it from deteriorating or maintains the current status to the longest extent. The human brain is the most sensitive and complex organ in the body, which is protected by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This yet induces the difficulty in curing AD as the drugs or nanomaterials that are much inhibited from reaching the lesion site. Thus, BBB crossing capability of drug delivery system remains a significant challenge in the development of neurological therapeutics. Fortunately, nano-enabled delivery systems possess promising potential to achieve multifunctional diagnostics/therapeutics against various targets of AD owing to their intriguing advantages of nanocarriers, including easy multifunctionalization on surfaces, high surface-to-volume ratio with large payloads, and potential ability to cross the BBB, making them capable of conquering the limitations of conventional drug candidates. This review, which focuses on the BBB crossing ability of the multifunctional nanomaterials in AD diagnosis and treatment, will provide an insightful vision that is conducive to the development of AD-related nanomaterials.

Abstract
The use of metal nanoparticles (M-NPs) in cancer therapy has gained significant consideration owing to their exceptional physical and chemical features. However, due to the limitations, such as specificity and toxicity towards healthy cells, their application in clinical translations has been restricted. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a biocompatible and biodegradable polysaccharide, has been extensively used as a targeting moiety, due to its ability to selectively bind to the CD44 receptors overexpressed on cancer cells. The HA-modified M-NPs have demonstrated promising results in improving specificity and efficacy in cancer therapy. This review discusses the significance of nanotechnology, the state of cancers, and the functions of HA-modified M-NPs, and other substituents in cancer therapy applications. Additionally, the role of various types of selected noble and non-noble M-NPs used in cancer therapy are described, along with the mechanisms involved in cancer targeting. Additionally, the purpose of HA, its sources and production processes, as well as its chemical and biological properties are described. In-depth explanations are provided about the contemporary applications of HA-modified noble and non-noble M-NPs and other substituents in cancer therapy. Furthermore, potential obstacles in optimizing HA-modified M-NPs, in terms of clinical translations, are discussed, followed by a conclusion and future prospects.

Surface-charge-switch triggered self assembly of vancomycin modified carbon nanodots for enhanced photothermal eradication of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci biofilms. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 224:113207. [PMID: 36801745 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113207] [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: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/14/2023]
Abstract
A new type of vancomycin (Van)-modified carbon nanodots (CNDs@Van) with pH-responsive surface charge switchable activity was successfully developed by covalently cross-linking Van on the surface of carbon nanodots (CNDs). Polymeric Van was formed on the surface of CNDs by covalent modification, which enhanced the targeted binding of CNDs@Van to vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) biofilms and effectively reduced the carboxyl groups on the surface of CNDs to achieve pH-responsive surface charge switching. Most importantly, CNDs@Van was free at pH 7.4, but assembled at pH 5.5 owing to surface charge switching from negative to zero, resulting in remarkably enhanced near-infrared (NIR) absorption and photothermal properties. CNDs@Van exhibited good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and weak hemolytic effects under physiological conditions (pH 7.4). Regarding targeted binding to VRE bacteria, CNDs@Van self-assembled in a weakly acidic environment (pH 5.5) generated by VRE biofilms, giving enhanced photokilling effects in in vitro and in vivo assays. Therefore, potentially, CNDs@Van can be used as a novel antimicrobial agent against VRE bacterial infections and their biofilms.

Abstract
ZnO quantum dots (QDs) have received much attention as biomarkers and drug delivery systems in cancer treatment, due to their low cost, ease of preparation, and pH-responsive degradation. However, its applications are limited by the low quantum yield and light absorption. In this work, a lanthanum-doped zinc oxide (La-ZnO) QDs-based drug delivery platform was constructed. The results show that 4% La doping is the most beneficial for improving the fluorescent properties of the ZnO QDs. After loading the drug, the cell activity was 15% at ZnO@DOX and 12% at La-ZnO@DOX. According to in vitro and in vivo experiment results, the La-ZnO QDs show enhancement of the antitumor effect. Dual enhancement of fluorescence and anti-tumor effects make La-ZnO QDs promising as a drug delivery system in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Noble metal-based nanomaterials offer great potential as cargoes for multifunctional cancer treatment. In this research, Au eyeball-like nanoparticles (NPs) with open-mouthed Pd shells were synthesized and their surface was functionalized with cell-targeting ligand folic acid (FA) and photodynamic agent Chlorin e6 (Ce6). Due to the broad near-infrared (NIR) absorption band of eyeball-like bimetallic Au and Pd, the photothermal therapy effects of this nanomaterial were studied in MCF-7 cancer cells. The anchored Ce6 not only addressed the hypoxia issue of tumor cells but also exhibited remarkable photodynamic efficacy upon irradiation. Results showed that the obtained Au@Pd-PEG-FA-Ce6 (APPFC) NPs were selectively accumulated at the tumor site and induced cell apoptosis effectively due to the target specificity and synergistic phototherapy effect. The high specificity, desirable biosafety, fast delivery, and drug functionalization demonstrated eyeball-like Au@Pd NPs are promising candidate for multifunctional therapy of breast cancer.

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.
