Abstract
Chronic refractory wounds caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial and biofilm infections are a substantial threat to human health, which presents a persistent challenge in managing clinical wound care. We here synthesized a composite nanosheet AIPH/AMP/MoS2, which can potentially be used for combined therapy because of the photothermal effect induced by MoS2, its ability to deliver antimicrobial peptides, and its ability to generate alkyl free radicals independent of oxygen. The synthesized nanosheets exhibited 61 % near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion efficiency, marked photothermal stability and free radical generating ability. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the composite nanosheets against MDR Escherichia coli (MDR E. coli) and MDR Staphylococcus aureus (MDR S. aureus) were approximately 38 μg/mL and 30 μg/mL, respectively. The composite nanosheets (150 μg/mL) effectively ablated >85 % of the bacterial biofilm under 808-nm NIR irradiation for 6 min. In the wound model experiment, approximately 90 % of the wound healed after the 4-day treatment with the composite nanosheets. The hemolysis experiment, mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEFs) cytotoxicity experiment, and mouse wound healing experiment all unveiled the excellent biocompatibility of the composite nanosheets. According to the transcriptome analysis, the composite nanosheets primarily exerted a synergistic therapeutic effect by disrupting the cellular membrane function of S. aureus and inhibiting quorum sensing mediated by the two-component system. Thus, the synthesized composite nanosheets exhibit remarkable antibacterial and biofilm ablation properties and therefore can be used to improve wound healing in chronic biofilm infections.

Abstract
High H2O2 levels are widely present at the infection sites or in the biofilm microenvironment. Herein, hemin with peroxidase-like catalytic activity and its substrate, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), are simultaneously introduced into a liposomal nanoparticle containing thermosensitive 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] dihydrochloride (AIBI)-loaded bovine serum albumin (BAG), rationally constructing an H2O2-activatable liposomal nanobomb (Lipo@BHA) for combating biofilm-associated bacterial infections with high performance. In the presence of H2O2, hemin can catalyze the conversion of ABTS into its oxidized form (ABTS·+) with strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption, which produces photonic hyperpyrexia to cause the decomposition of AIBI into oxygen-independent alkyl radicals (·R) and nitrogen (N2) microbubbles. The former not only directly damage bacterial cells but also significantly accelerates the oxidization of ABTS to ABTS·+ for augmenting photothermal-triggered generation of ·R. Interestingly, the released N2 can induce transient cavitation to rupture lysosomal nanoparticle and improve the biofilm permeability, thereby enhancing the antibiofilm effect of Lipo@BHA. The proposed Lipo@BHA exhibits satisfactory multi-mode combination antibacterial properties. Through endogenous H2O2-activated cascade reaction, Lipo@BHA achieves remarkable hypoxia-irrelevant ·R therapy of biofilm-associated wound infections with low cytotoxicity and good in vivo biosafety. Therefore, this work presents a versatile H2O2-activatable cascade ·R generation strategy for biofilm-specific therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Immunotherapy harnesses the inherent immune system in the body to generate systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising modality for defending against cancer. However, tumor immunosuppression and evasion seriously restrict the immune response rates in clinical settings. Catalytic nanomedicines can transform tumoral substances/metabolites into therapeutic products in situ, offering unique advantages in antitumor immunotherapy. Through catalytic reactions, both tumor eradication and immune regulation can be simultaneously achieved, favoring the development of systemic antitumor immunity. In recent years, with advancements in catalytic chemistry and nanotechnology, catalytic nanomedicines based on nanozymes, photocatalysts, sonocatalysts, Fenton catalysts, electrocatalysts, piezocatalysts, thermocatalysts and radiocatalysts have been rapidly developed with vast applications in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides an introduction to the fabrication of catalytic nanomedicines with an emphasis on their structures and engineering strategies. Furthermore, the catalytic substrates and state-of-the-art applications of nanocatalysts in cancer immunotherapy have also been outlined and discussed. The relationships between nanostructures and immune regulating performance of catalytic nanomedicines are highlighted to provide a deep understanding of their working mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, the challenges and development trends are revealed, aiming to provide new insights for the future development of nanocatalysts in catalytic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Cancers are fatal diseases that lead to most death of human beings, which urgently require effective treatments methods. Hyperthermia therapy employs magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as heating medium under external alternating magnetic field. Among various MNPs, ferrite nanoparticles (FNPs) have gained significant attention for hyperthermia therapy due to their exceptional magnetic properties, high stability, favorable biological compatibility, and low toxicity. The utilization of FNPs holds immense potential for enhancing the effectiveness of hyperthermia therapy. The main hurdle for hyperthermia treatment includes optimizing the heat generation capacity of FNPs and controlling the local temperature of tumor region. This review aims to comprehensively evaluate the magnetic hyperthermia treatment (MHT) of FNPs, which is accomplished by elucidating the underlying mechanism of heat generation and identifying influential factors. Based upon fundamental understanding of hyperthermia of FNPs, valuable insights will be provided for developing efficient nanoplatforms with enhanced accuracy and magnetothermal properties. Additionally, we will also survey current research focuses on modulating FNPs' properties, external conditions for MHT, novel technical methods, and recent clinical findings. Finally, current challenges in MHT with FNPs will be discussed while prospecting future directions.

Abstract
Anticancer drug resistance invariably emerges and poses a significant barrier to curative therapy for various breast cancers. This results in a lack of satisfactory therapeutic medicine for cancer treatment. Herein, a universal vector system for drug-resistance breast cancer was designed to meet the needs of reversed multidrug resistance, thermo-chemotherapy, and long-term drug release behavior. The vector system comprises polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber mesh and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). PCL has excellent biocompatibility and electrospinning performance. In this study, MNPs were tailored to be thermogenic in response to an alternating magnetic field (AMF). PCL nanofiber can deliver various chemotherapy drugs, and suitable MNPs encapsulated in the nanofiber can generate hyperthermia and synergistic effect with those chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, a more personalized treatment system can be developed for different breast malignancies. In addition, the PCL nanofiber mesh (NFM) enables sustained release of the drugs for up two months, avoiding the burden on patients caused by repeated administration. Through model drugs doxorubicin (DOX) and chemosensitizers curcumin (CUR), we systematically verified the therapeutic effect of DOX-resistance breast cancer and inhibition of tumor generation in vivo. These findings represent a multifaceted platform of importance for validating strategic reversed MDR in pursuit of promoted thermo-chemotherapeutic outcomes. More importantly, the low cost and excellent safety and efficacy of this nanofiber mesh demonstrate that this can be customized multi-function vector system may be a promising candidate for refractory cancer therapy in clinical.

Abstract
In situ mitochondrial oxidative stress amplification is an effective strategy to improve efficacy of cancer treatment. In this work, a tumor and mitochondria dual-targeted multifunctional nanoplatform CMS@AIPH@PDA@COTPP@FA (CAPCTF) was prepared, in which a thermally decomposable radical initiator AIPH was loaded inside the mesoporores of CuxMoySz (CMS) nanoparticles with polydopamine (PDA) covered films that were further covalently functionalized by a mitochondria-targeted CO donor (COTPP) and a directing group of folic acid (FA). The prepared CAPCTF nanoplatform selectively accumulated in cancer cells and further targeted the mitochondrial organelle where carbon monoxide (CO) and O2-independent free radicals (•OH/•R) were in situ generated upon 1064 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, the CMS nanocarrier was capable of depleting the GSH overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus preventing free radical scavenging. As a result, the CAPCTF nanoplatform exhibited outstanding in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy under hypoxic conditions. This provides an innovative strategy that combines O2-independent free radicals (•OH/•R) generation, CO delivery and GSH consumption to amplify intracellular oxidative stresses and induce mitochondrial dysfunction, thus leading to cancer cells eradication, which may have significant implications for personalized hypoxic tumor treatment.

Abstract
Distant metastasis of malignant tumors is considered to be the main culprit for the failure of current antitumor treatments. Conventional single treatments often exhibit limited efficacy in inhibiting tumor metastasis. Therefore, there is a growing interest in developing collaborative antitumor strategies based on photothermal therapy (PTT) and free-radical-generated photodynamic therapy (PDT), especially utilizing oxygen-independent nanoplatforms, to address this challenge. Such antitumor strategies can enhance the therapeutic outcomes by ensuring the cytotoxicity of free radicals even in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, thereby improving the effective suppression of primary tumors. Additionally, these approaches can stimulate the production of tumor-associated antigens and amplify the immunogenic cell death (ICD) effects, potentially feasible for enhancing the therapeutic outcomes of immunotherapy. Herein, we fabricated a functional nanosystem that co-loads IR780 and 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]-dihydrochloride (AIPH) to realize PTT-triggered thermodynamic combination therapy via the oxygen-independent pathway for the elimination of primary tumors. Furthermore, the nanocomposites were surface-decorated with a predesigned complex peptide (PLGVRGC-anti-PD-L1 peptide, MMP-sensitive), which facilitated the immunotherapy targeting distant tumors. Through the specific recognition of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), the sensitive segment on the obtained aNC@IR780A was cleaved. As a result, the freed anti-PD-L1 peptide effectively blocked immune checkpoints, leading to the infiltration and activation of T cells (CTLs). This nanosystem was proven to be effective at inhibiting both primary tumors and distant tumors, providing a promising combination strategy for tumor PTT/TDT/immunotherapy.

Abstract
Microwave ablation (MWA) is a novel treatment modality that can lead to the death of tumor cells by heating the ions and polar molecules in the tissue through high-speed vibration and friction. However, the single hyperthermia is not sufficient to completely inhibit tumor growth. Herein, a thermodynamic cancer-therapeutic modality has been fabricated which could be able to overcome hypoxia's limitations in the tumor microenvironment. Using thermo-sensitive liposomes (TSLs) and oxygen-independent radical generators (2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride [AIPH]), a nano-drug delivery system denoted as ATSL is developed for efficient sequential cancer treatment. Under the microwave field, the temperature rise of local tissue could not only lead to the damage of tumor cells but also induce the release of AIPH encapsulated in ATSL to produce free radicals, eliciting tumor cell death. In addition, the ATSL developed here would avoid the side effects caused by the uncontrolled diffusion of AIPH to normal tissues. The ATSLs have shown excellent therapeutic effects both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its highly promising potential for clinic.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxia and high levels of intracellular glutathione (GSH) significantly limit the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). In addition, a single PDT treatment strategy is relatively insufficient to eliminate tumor, further limiting its application in biomedicine. Therefore, we demonstrated an omnipotent nanoplatform based on 2,2'-azobis [2-(2 imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH) loaded manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoflower (abbreviated as MnO2-AIPH) with simultaneously self-supplying oxygen (O2), depleting GSH, performing PDT, photothermal (PTT) and thermodynamic therapy (TDT) for boosting antitumor effects. By 808 nm near infrared (NIR) light irradiation, MnO2-AIPH not only reveals highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and excellent photothermal conversion ability for PDT and PTT, but also generates alkyl radicals by decomposing AIPH for TDT simultaneously to eliminate tumor effectively. Once internalized into the tumor, MnO2 will be degraded to Mn2+ which catalyzes endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into O2 for enhanced PDT. Moreover, MnO2 can facilitate GSH oxidation to amplify oxidative stress, further enhancing ROS and alkyl radicals mediated cancer cell killing. In brief, this study provides a paradigm of antitumor efficiency amplification by the combination of sustained oxygen supply, potent GSH depletion, and phototherapy synergistic TDT.
