Abstract
Designing biomimetic materials with high activity and customized biological functions by mimicking the central structure of biomolecules has become an important avenue for the development of medical materials. As an essential electron carrier, the iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters have the advantages of simple structure and high electron transport capacity. To rationally design and accurately construct functional materials, it is crucial to clarify the electronic structure and conformational relationships of Fe-S clusters. However, due to the complex catalytic mechanism and synthetic process in vitro, it is hard to reveal the structure-activity relationship of Fe-S clusters accurately. This review introduces the main structural types of Fe-S clusters and their catalytic mechanisms first. Then, several typical structural design strategies of biomimetic Fe-S clusters are systematically introduced. Furthermore, the development of Fe-S clusters in the biocatalytic field is enumerated, including tumor treatment, antibacterial, virus inhibition and plant photoprotection. Finally, the problems and development directions of Fe-S clusters are summarized. This review aims to guide people to accurately understand and regulate the electronic structure of Fe-S at the atomic level, which is of great significance for designing biomimetic materials with specific functions and expanding their applications in biocatalysis.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are quasi-spherical carbon nanoparticles with excellent photoluminescence, good biocompatibility, favorable photostability, and easily modifiable surfaces. CDs, serving as fluorescent probes, have emerged as an ideal tool for cellular differentiation owing to their outstanding luminescence performance and tunable surface properties. In this review, we summarize the recent research progress with CDs in the differentiation of cancer/normal cells, Gram-positive/Gram-negative bacteria, and live/dead cells, as well as the cellular differences used for differentiation. Additionally, we summarize the preparation methods, raw materials, and properties of the CDs used for cell discrimination. The differentiation mechanisms and the advantages or limitations of the differentiation methods are also introduced. Finally, we propose several research challenges in this field and future research directions that require extensive investigation. It is hoped that this review will help researchers in the design of new CDs as ideal fluorescent probes for realizing diverse cell differentiation applications.

Abstract
Skin wounds are repaired by a complex series of events and overlapping phases in which bacterial infection and insufficient angiogenesis at the wound site delay the healing process. Thus, functional wound dressings with enhanced antibacterial activity and angiogenic capacity have attracted attention. Herein, bacterial cellulose (BC)-based dressings were successfully fabricated by functionalization with a polydopamine (PDA) coating and copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs). Under 808 nm laser illumination, the BC/PDA/CuS composite membranes exhibited outstanding adjustable photothermal and photodynamic activities as well as controlled Cu2+ release, endowing the composite membranes with synergetic antibacterial activity. Specially, a bactericidal efficiency of 99.7 % and 88.0 % for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was achieved after treatment with BC/PDA/CuS5 sample under NIR irradiation (0.8 W/cm2, 10 min), respectively. Moreover, the BC/PDA/CuS5 composite membrane could enhance the angiogenesis due to the released Cu2+. In vivo experiments revealed that the BC/PDA/CuS5 composite membrane dressing could accelerate the wound closure process of the full-thickness skin defects with S. aureus by synergistically reducing inflammation, enhancing collagen deposition, and promoting vascularization under NIR irradiation. Additionally, the BC/PDA/CuS5 composite membrane exhibited high biocompatibility and biosafety. This work offers a new strategy to prepare multifunctional BC-based dressing for clinical wound healing.

Abstract
We have developed multifunctional nanogels with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, facilitating rapid wound healing. To prepare the multifunctional nanogels, we utilized quercetin (Qu) and a mild carbonization process to form carbonized nanogels (CNGs). These CNGs possess excellent antioxidative and bacterial targeting properties. Subsequently, we utilized the Qu-CNGs as templates to prepare nanogels incorporating copper sulfide (CuS) nanoclusters, further enhancing their functionality. Notably, the CuS/Qu-CNGs nanocomposites demonstrated an exceptional minimum inhibitory concentration against tested bacteria, approximately 125-fold lower than monomeric Qu or Qu-CNGs. This enhanced antimicrobial effect was achieved by leveraging near-infrared II (NIR-II) light irradiation. Additionally, the CuS/Qu-CNGs exhibited efficient penetration into the extracellular biofilm matrix, eradicating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-associated biofilms in diabetic mice wounds. Furthermore, the nanocomposites were found to suppress proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, at the wound sites while regulating the expression of anti-inflammatory factors, including IL-10 and TGF-β1, throughout the recovery process. The presence of CuS/Qu-CNGs promoted angiogenesis, epithelialization, and collagen synthesis, thereby accelerating wound healing. Our developed CuS/Qu-CNGs nanocomposites have great potential in addressing the challenges associated with delayed wound healing caused by microbial pathogenesis.

Immunogenic Cell Death Photothermally Mediated by Erythrocyte Membrane-Coated Magnetofluorescent Nanocarriers Improves Survival in Sarcoma Model. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15030943.

Abstract
Inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) during cancer therapy is a major challenge that might significantly improve patient survival. The purpose of this study was to develop a theranostic nanocarrier, capable both of conveying a cytotoxic thermal dose when mediating photothermal therapy (PTT) after its intravenous delivery, and of consequently inducing ICD, improving survival. The nanocarrier consists of red blood cell membranes (RBCm) embedding the near-infrared dye IR-780 (IR) and camouflaging Mn-ferrite nanoparticles (RBCm-IR-Mn). The RBCm-IR-Mn nanocarriers were characterized by size, morphology, surface charge, magnetic, photophysical, and photothermal properties. Their photothermal conversion efficiency was found to be size- and concentration-dependent. Late apoptosis was observed as the cell death mechanism for PTT. Calreticulin and HMGB1 protein levels increased for in vitro PTT with temperature around 55 °C (ablative regime) but not for 44 °C (hyperthermia), suggesting ICD elicitation under ablation. RBCm-IR-Mn were then intravenously administered in sarcoma S180-bearing Swiss mice, and in vivo ablative PTT was performed five days later. Tumor volumes were monitored for the subsequent 120 days. RBCm-IR-Mn-mediated PTT promoted tumor regression in 11/12 animals, with an overall survival rate of 85% (11/13). Our results demonstrate that the RBCm-IR-Mn nanocarriers are great candidates for PTT-induced cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have always been a threat when it comes to public health accounting for increased morbidity and mortality rates around the world. For the first time, Polydopamine is often used as an ocular surface drug delivery medium to treat some ocular surface diseases based on its good tissue affinity. Mesoporous polydopamine nanospheres (MPDA NPs) under photothermal therapy (PTT) are demonstrated as efficient therapeutic nanoplatforms for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection and wound healing. MPDA NPs were found to exhibit excellent photothermal performance, significantly causing an increase in temperature within a short period of NIR-I exposure (808 nm, 1 W cm-2, 6 min). The MPDA NPs under the NIR irradiation remarkably eliminated S. aureus in vitro. Moreover, these synergistic effects turnouts to be phenomenal in vivo, effectively killing and healing S. aureus-infected abscesses in mice. These revealed the combined effect of the intrinsic antibacterial activity of MPDA NPs enhanced upon NIR-I exposure. Hence, MPDA NPs under NIR-I could prove excellent therapeutic nanoplatforms for bacteria-related infections and other biomedical applications.

Photo-Stimuli-Responsive CuS Nanomaterials as Cutting-Edge Platform Materials for Antibacterial Applications. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14112343.

Abstract
Photo-stimuli-responsive therapeutic nanomaterials have gained widespread attention as frontline materials for biomedical applications. The photoactivation strategies are classified as single-modality (based on either reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT), hyperthermia-based photothermal therapy (PTT)), or dual-modality (which combines PDT and PTT). Due to its minimal invasiveness, phototherapy has been extensively applied as an efficient therapeutic platform for many diseases, including skin cancers. However, extensive implementation of phototherapy to address the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections remains challenging. This review focuses on copper sulfide (CuS) nanomaterials as efficient and cost-effective PDT and PTT therapeutic nanomaterials with antibacterial activity. The features and merits of CuS nanomaterials as therapeutics are compared to those of other nanomaterials. Control of the dimensions and morphological complexity of CuS nanomaterials through judicious synthesis is then introduced. Both the in vitro antibacterial activity and the in vivo therapeutic effect of CuS nanomaterials and derivative nanocomposites composed of 2D nanomaterials, polymers, metals, metal oxides, and proteins are described in detail. Finally, the perspective of photo-stimuli-responsive CuS nanomaterials for future clinical antibacterial applications is highlighted. This review illustrates that CuS nanomaterials are highly effective, low-toxic, and environmentally friendly antibacterial agents or platform nanomaterials for combatting MDR bacterial infections.

Abstract
Twelve Cu-based ternary (Cu-Me1-S, Me1 = Fe, Sn, or Sb) and quaternary (Cu-Me2-Sn-S, Me2 = Fe, Zn, or V) nanocrystalline sulfides are shown as perspective antibacterial materials here. They were prepared from elemental precursors by a one-step solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis in a 100 g batch using scalable eccentric vibratory ball milling. Most of the products have shown strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. For instance, stannite Cu2FeSnS4 and mohite Cu2SnS3 were the most active against E. coli, whereas kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 and rhodostannite Cu2FeSn3S8 exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus. In general, stannite has shown the best antibacterial properties out of all the studied samples. Five out of twelve products have been prepared using mechanochemical synthesis for the first time in a scalable fashion here. The presented synthetic approach is a promising alternative to traditional syntheses of nanomaterials suitable for biological applications and shows ternary and quaternary sulfides as potential candidates for the next-generation antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Burns and scalds are thermal injuries caused by a large amount of heat accumulation in local tissues. The first cooling emergency is a key step. However, it is hard that in outdoors to find clean water to cool the scald tissue sites. Moreover, most dressings are concentrated on the treatment process today, neglecting the emergency treatment of temperature reduction. In this study, we imported refrigeration in the electrospinning process while using dirty water, rainwater and even urine of outdoors, so that the cooled sterile fibers were directly deposited on the burn and scald wounds, and the cooling emergency was achieved through the dual cooling mechanism. Since this fiber which is made up of cheap fish gelatin contains CuS adopting the green method, it can generate heat and effectively kill bacteria under the irradiation of an illumination lamp at the front end of a spinning device. As a result of the direct deposition, there is an excellent fit between the fibrous membrane and the skin, which reduces the air gap to achieve a better and quick cooling and heating effects. On the same Chitosan/Platelet-derived Growth Factor fiber membrane, this method of cooling first and heating second can shorten the recovery time from 30 days to 21 days. Thus, this treatment strategy has a great potential application prospect in the field of outdoor burn treatment.

Abstract
The last few decades have seen an overwhelming increase in the amount of research carried out on the use of inorganic nanoparticles. More fascinating is the tremendous progress made in the use of chalcogen and chalcogenide nanoparticles in cancer theranostics. These nanomaterials, which were initially synthesized through chemical methods, have now been efficiently produced using different plant materials. The paradigm shift towards the biogenic route of nanoparticle synthesis stems from its superior advantages of biosafety, eco-friendliness, and simplicity, among others. Despite a large number of reviews available on inorganic nanoparticle synthesis through green chemistry, there is currently a dearth of information on the green synthesis of chalcogens and chalcogenides for cancer research. Nanoformulations involving chalcogens such as sulfur, selenium, and tellurium and their respective chalcogenides have recently emerged as promising tools in cancer therapeutics and diagnosis. Similar to other inorganic nanoparticles, chalcogens and chalcogenides have been synthesized using plant extracts and their purified biomolecules. In this review, we provide an up-to-date discussion of the recent progress that has been made in the plant-mediated synthesis of chalcogens and chalcogenides with a special focus on their application in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Abstract
Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) have shown great potential in various application fields, especially in biomedical engineering fields. CuS NPs, with the ability to actively capture and kill bacteria and without the worry of biocompatibility, will greatly expand their applications. Herein, a four-arm star thermo-sensitive polyisopropylacrylamide (4sPNIPAm) was used to modify CuS NPs (CuS-PNIPAm NPs). The obtained nanoparticles displayed the controlled release of copper ions and higher photothermal conversion ability in comparison with contrast materials CuS-PEG NPs and CuS NPs. Aggregation of CuS-PNIPAm NPs at above 34 °C resulted in capturing bacteria by forming the aggregates of nanoparticles-bacteria. Both S. aureus and E. coli co-cultured with CuS-PNIPAm NPs were completely killed upon NIR irradiation in minutes. Furthermore, CuS-PNIPAm NPs were verified to be a photothermal agent without toxic effect. In in vivo experiment, the nanoparticles effectively killed the bacteria in the wound and accelerated the process of wound repairment. Overall, photothermal treatment by CuS-PNIPAm NPs demonstrates the ability to actively capture and kill bacteria, and has a potential in the treatment of infected skin and the regeneration of skin tissues. The therapy will exert a far-reaching impact on the regeneration of stubborn chronic wounds.

Abstract
The substantial increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria is a major threat to global health. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported possibilities of greater deaths due to bacterial infections than cancer. Nanomaterials, especially small-sized (size ≤10 nm) silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), can be employed to combat these deadly bacterial diseases. However, high reactivity, instability, susceptibility to fast oxidation, and cytotoxicity remain crucial shortcomings for their uptake and clinical application. In this review, we discuss various AgNPs-based approaches to eradicate bacterial infections and provide comprehensive mechanistic insights and recent advances in antibacterial activity, antibiofilm activity, and cytotoxicity (both in vitro and in vivo) of AgNPs. The mechanistic of antimicrobial activity involves four steps: (i) adhesion of AgNPs to cell wall/membrane and its disruption; (ii) intracellular penetration and damage; (iii) oxidative stress; and (iv) modulation of signal transduction pathways. Numerous factors affecting the bactericidal activity of AgNPs such as shape, size, crystallinity, pH, and surface coating/charge have also been described in detail. The review also sheds light on antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and the role of AgNPs versus Ag+ ions release in bactericidal activities. In addition, different methods of synthesis of AgNPs have been discussed in brief.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria represent a global threat to human health. However, due to the abuse of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacteria have evolved rapidly and led to the failure of antibiotics treatment. Alternative antimicrobial strategies different to traditional antibiotics are urgently needed. Enzyme-based antibacterials (Enzybiotics) have gradually attracted interest owing to their advantages including high specificity, rapid mode-of-action, no resistance development, etc. However, due to their low stability, potential immunogenicity, and high cost of natural enzymes, enzybiotics have limitations in practical antibacterial therapy. In recent years, many nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities (Nanozymes) have been discovered as a new generation of artificial enzymes and perform catalytic antibacterial effects against bacterial resistance. To highlight the progress in this field of nanozyme-based antibacterials (Nanozybiotics), this review discussed the antibacterial mechanism of action of nanozybiotics with a comparison with enzybiotics. We propose that nanozybiotics may bear promising applications in antibacterial therapy, due to their high stability, rapid bacterial killing, biofilm elimination, and low cost.

Abstract
The discrimination between dead and live cells is crucial for cell viability evaluation. Carbon dots (CDs), with advantages like simple and cost-effective synthesis, excellent biocompatibility, and high photostability, have shown potential for realizing selective live/dead cell staining. However, most of the developed CDs with the live/dead cell discrimination capacity usually have low photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and excitation wavelength-dependent fluorescence emission (which can cause fluorescence overlap with other fluorescent probes and make dual-color live/dead staining impossible), and hence, developing ultrabright CDs with excitation wavelength-independent fluorescence emission property for live/dead cell discrimination becomes an important task. Here, using a one-pot hydrothermal method, we prepared ultrasmall (∼1.6 nm), ultrabright (PLQY: ∼78%), and excitation wavelength-independent sulfur-doped carbon dots (termed S-CDs) using rose bengal and 1,4-dimercaptobenzene as raw materials and demonstrated that the S-CDs could rapidly (∼5 min) and accurately distinguish dead cells from live ones for almost all the cell types including bacterial, fungal, and animal cells in a wash-free manner. We confirmed that the S-CDs could rapidly pass through the dead cell surfaces to enter the interior of the dead cells, thus visualizing these dead cells. In contrast, the S-CDs could not enter the interior of live cells and thus could not stain these live cells. We further verified that the S-CDs presented better biocompatibility and higher photostability than the commercial live/dead staining dye propidium iodide, ensuring its bright application prospect in cell imaging and cell viability assessment. Overall, this work develops a type of CDs capable of realizing the live/dead cell discrimination of almost all the cell types (bacterial, fungal, and animal cells), which has seldom been achieved by other fluorescent nanoprobes.

Abstract
Over the past few years, considerable attention has been paid to biomedical applications of copper sulfide nanostructures owing to their enhanced physiochemical and pharmacokinetics characteristics in comparison to gold, silver, and carbon nanomaterials. The small-sized Cu x S y nanoparticles have the advantage to absorb efficiently in the near-infrared region (NIR) above 700 nm and the absorption can be tuned by altering their stoichiometries. Moreover, their easy removal through the kidneys overpowers the issue of toxicity caused by many inorganic substances. The low cost and selectivity further add to the advantages of Cu x S y nanostructures as electrode materials in comparison to relatively expensive materials such as silver and gold nanoparticles. This review is mainly focused on the synthesis and biomedical applications of Cu x S y nanostructures. The first part summarizes the various synthetic routes used to produce Cu x S y nanostructures with varying morphologies, while the second part targets the recent progress made in the application of small-sized Cu x S y nanostructures as biosensors, and their analysis and uses in the cure of cancer. Photoacoustic imaging and other cancer treatment applications are discussed. Research on Cu x S y nanostructures will continue to increase over the next few decades, and great opportunities lie ahead for potential biomedical applications of Cu x S y nanostructures.

Abstract
As an ideal substitute for traditional organic fluorescent dyes or up-conversion nanomaterials, copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) have developed rapidly and have been involved in exciting achievements in versatile applications. The emergence of novel CuNCs composites improves the poor stability and fluorescence intensity of CuNCs. With this in mind, great efforts have been made to develop a wide variety of CuNCs composites, and impressive progress has been made in the past few years. In this review, we systematically summarize absorption, fluorescence, electrochemiluminescence, and catalytic properties and focus on the multiple factors that affect the fluorescence properties of CuNCs. The fluorescence properties of CuNCs are discussed from the point of view of core size, surface ligands, self-assembly, metal defects, pH, solvent, ions, metal doping, and confinement effect. Especially, we illustrate the research progress and representative applications of CuNCs composites in bio-related fields, which have received considerable interests in the past years. Additionally, the sensing mechanism of CuNCs composites is highlighted. Finally, we summarize current challenges and look forward to the future development of CuNCs composites.

Abstract
In the current paper, copper sulfide nanotubes have been successfully synthesized via the green, simple, and effective gamma-radiolysis method without adding any capping or reducing agents. The structural and morphological characteristics of the as-prepared CuS nanotubes were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption measurements at 77 K, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, which all demonstrated the formation of pure CuS covellite phase with tubular morphology. The synthesized CuS nanotubes possessed not only high activity towards the reduction of both cationic (methylene blue) and anionic (Congo red) dyes in the presence of NaBH4 but also exhibited excellent reusability. In addition, the pseudo-first-order kinetic model represented the reduction of MB very well, and the value of the normalized rate constant (2.4 × 10-2 s-1 mg-1) was higher than those of other solid catalysts reported in the literature. Ultimately, CuS nanotubes were found to have a broad-spectrum microbicidal action against the common microbiota, such as Gram-positive (exemplified by Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (exemplified by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli), yeast (exemplified by Candida albicans), and plant pathogenic fungi (exemplified by Aspergillus niger).

Abstract
Despite the vast amount of research on the toxicity of copper-based nanoparticles, the toxicity of CuS nanoparticles is still largely unknown. Due to the application of CuS-based nanomaterials in biomedical engineering, it is necessary to study their potential toxicity and biological effects. In this study, we evaluated the toxicity of polymer-modified CuS nanoclusters (PATA3-C4@CuS) on embryo development through exposing zebrafish embryos to 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 mg/L PATA3-C4@CuS at 0.75-h post-fertilization. The morphological results demonstrated that PATA3-C4@CuS at concentrations greater than 1 mg/L PATA3-C4@CuS induced abnormal phenotypes including smaller heads and eyes, pericardial edema, and epiboly retardation and it increased mortality, lowered the hatching rate, and inhibited swim bladder inflation. In situ hybridization and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction showed that PATA3-C4@CuS could alter the expression patterns of tbxta, dlx3, and cstlb and increase the expression levels of wnt5 and wnt11, which suggested that PATA3-C4@CuS disrupts cell migration by increasing the levels of wnt5 and wnt11 during gastrulation. It was also discovered that PATA3-C4@CuS exposure caused a slow heart rate and smaller ventricles in zebrafish larvae. Immunofluorescence and behavioral analyses showed that PATA3-C4@CuS could damage the ventral projection of the primary motor neurons CaP, which was in accordance with the reduction in locomotion ability. Together, our data demonstrated that functional PATA3-C4@CuS could disrupt cell migration during gastrulation, affect cardiac development and function, and decrease locomotive activity.

Abstract
Although photothermal therapy (PTT) with the assistance of nanotechnology has been considered as an indispensable strategy in the biomedical field, it still encounters some severe problems that need to be solved. Excessive heat can induce treated cells to develop thermal resistance, and thus, the efficacy of PTT may be dramatically decreased. In the meantime, the uncontrollable diffusion of heat can pose a threat to the surrounding healthy tissues. Recently, low-temperature PTT (also known as mild PTT or mild-temperature PTT) has demonstrated its remarkable capacity of conquering these obstacles and has shown excellent performance in bacterial elimination, wound healing, and cancer treatments. Herein, we summarize the recently proposed strategies for achieving low-temperature PTT based on nanomaterials and introduce the synthesis, characteristics, and applications of these nanoplatforms. Additionally, the combination of PTT and other therapeutic modalities for defeating cancers and the synergistic cancer therapeutic effect of the combined treatments are discussed. Finally, the current limitations and future directions are proposed for inspiring more researchers to make contributions to promoting low-temperature PTT toward more successful preclinical and clinical disease treatments.

Abstract
Background: It is widely acknowledged that pathogenic germs delay wound healing to some extent. To explore factors influencing the wound healing process, the current study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial effect of topical application of copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) in vitro and on infected wound healing process in the rat model. Materials and Methods: In this study, the morphology and size of CuS NPs were detected. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were used so that the antibacterial ability of CuS NPs could be evaluated better. In addition, a 2-cm circular full-thickness wound infected with a solution of 107 colony forming units (CFU) Staphylococcus aureus was created on the back of each rat. The rats were divided into four groups including the control group, the 100 mcg/mL CuS NPs group, the 250 mcg/mL CuS NPs group, and the 500 mcg/mL CuS NPs group. Tissue bacterial count and histologic assessment were evaluated. Results: The results indicated that CuS NPs had antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Moreover, they could decrease the incidence of bacterial colonization and promote wound healing through re-epithelialization and collagen deposition. Furthermore, CuS NPs could maintain Cu2+ continuous release and inhibit the viability of Staphylococcus aureus through lipid peroxidation. Conclusions: This study found that CuS NPs have fine antibacterial properties, and particularly, the 500 mcg/mL CuS NPs had better effects, without increase of side effects. They could promote infected wound healing, the prospective clinical application of which was further confirmed in the treatment of wound infection.

Abstract
Microbes, including bacteria and fungi, easily form stable biofilms on many surfaces. Such biofilms have high resistance to antibiotics, and cause nosocomial and postoperative infections. The antimicrobial and antiviral behaviors of Ag and Cu nanoparticles (NPs) are well known, and possible mechanisms for their actions, such as released ions, reactive oxygen species (ROS), contact killing, the immunostimulatory effect, and others have been proposed. Ag and Cu NPs, and their derivative NPs, have different antimicrobial capacities and cytotoxicities. Factors, such as size, shape and surface treatment, influence their antimicrobial activities. The biomedical application of antimicrobial Ag and Cu NPs involves coating onto substrates, including textiles, polymers, ceramics, and metals. Because Ag and Cu are immiscible, synthetic AgCu nanoalloys have different microstructures, which impact their antimicrobial effects. When mixed, the combination of Ag and Cu NPs act synergistically, offering substantially enhanced antimicrobial behavior. However, when alloyed in Ag-Cu NPs, the antimicrobial behavior is even more enhanced. The reason for this enhancement is unclear. Here, we discuss these results and the possible behavior mechanisms that underlie them.

Abstract
Globally, millions of people die of microbial infection-related diseases every year. The more terrible situation is that due to the overuse of antibiotics, especially in developing countries, people are struggling to fight with the bacteria variation. The emergence of super-bacteria will be an intractable environmental and health hazard in the future unless novel bactericidal weapons are mounted. Consequently, it is critical to develop viable antibacterial approaches to sustain the prosperous development of human society. Recent researches indicate that transition metal sulfides (TMSs) represent prominent bactericidal application potential owing to the meritorious antibacterial performance, acceptable biocompatibility, high solar energy utilization efficiency, and excellent photo-to-thermal conversion characteristics, and thus, a comprehensive review on the recent advances in this area would be beneficial for the future development. In this review article, we start with the antibacterial mechanisms of TMSs to provide a preliminary understanding. Thereafter, the state-of-the-art research progresses on the strategies for TMSs materials engineering so as to promote their antibacterial properties are systematically surveyed and summarized, followed by a summary of the practical application scenarios of TMSs-based antibacterial platforms. Finally, based on the thorough survey and analysis, we emphasize the challenges and future development trends in this area.

Abstract
Infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria have caused huge economic loss and numerous deaths over the past decades. Researchers are exploring multiple strategies to combat these bacterial infections. Metal nanomaterials have been explored as therapeutics against these infections owing to their relatively low toxicity, broad-spectrum activity, and low bacterial resistance development. Some coinage metal nanoclusters, such as gold, silver, and copper nanoclusters, can be readily synthesized. These nanoclusters can feature multiple useful properties, including ultra-small size, high catalytic activity, unique photoluminescent properties, and photothermal effect. Coinage metal nanoclusters have been investigated as antimicrobials, but more research is required to tap their full potential. In this review, we discuss multiple advantages and the prospect of using gold/silver/copper nanoclusters as antimicrobials.

Abstract
We have prepared copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 1,3-propanedithiol (PDT). The PDT/BSA-Cu NCs possess great activities against different types of bacteria, including non-multidrug-resistant bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella Enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus) and multidrug-resistant bacteria (methicillin-resistant S. aureus). Their minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values are at least 242-fold and 10-fold lower than that of the free PDT and BSA-Cu NCs, respectively. The PDT/BSA-Cu NCs are strongly bound to the bacterial membrane, in which they induce the generation of ascorbyl (Asc) and perhydroxyl (HOO) radicals that result in disruption of their membrane integrity. At a concentration of 100-fold higher than their MIC for Escherichia coli, the PDT/BSA-Cu NCs exhibit negligible cytotoxicity towards the tested mammalian cells and show insignificant hemolysis. We have further demonstrated that low-cost PDT/BSA-Cu NCs-coated carbon fiber fabrics (CFFs) are effective against antibacterial growth, showing their great potential for antifouling applications.

Abstract
Theranostics refers to the incorporation of therapeutic and diagnostic functions into one material system. An important class of nanomaterials exploited for theranostics is metal nanoclusters (NCs). In contrast to gold and silver NCs, copper is an essential trace element for humans. It can be more easily removed from the body. This, along with the low cost of copper that offers potential large-scale nanotechnology applications, means that copper NCs have attracted great interest in recent years. The latest advances in the design, synthesis, surface engineering, and applications of copper NCs in disease diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment are reviewed. Strategies to control and enhance the emission of copper NCs are considered. With this synopsis of the up-to-date development of copper NCs as theranostic agents, it is hoped that insights and directions for translating current advances from the laboratory to the clinic can be further advanced and accelerated.

Abstract
We developed an easy and reproducible synthetic method to graft a monolayer of copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NP) on glass and exploited their particular antibacterial features. Samples were fully characterized showing a good stability, a neat photo-thermal effect when irradiated in the Near InfraRed (NIR) region (in the so called “biological window”), and the ability to release controlled quantities of copper in water. The desired antibacterial activity is thus based on two different mechanisms: (i) slow and sustained copper release from CuS NP-glass samples, (ii) local temperature increase caused by a photo-thermal effect under NIR laser irradiation of CuS NP–glass samples. This behavior allows promising in vivo applications to be foreseen, ensuring a “static” antibacterial protection tailored to fight bacterial adhesion in the critical timescale of possible infection and biofilm formation. This can be reinforced, when needed, by a photo-thermal action switchable on demand by an NIR light.

Abstract
An alarming increase in bacterial resistance towards various types of antibiotics makes it imperative to design alternate or combinational therapies to treat stubborn bacterial infections. In this perspective, emerging tools like nanozymes, nanomaterials with biological enzyme like characteristics, are being utilised to control infections caused by bacterial pathogens. Among several nanozymes used for antibacterial applications, Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NP) received great attention due to their effective peroxidase like activity. The pH dependent peroxidase activity of Fe3O4 NP results in generation of OH radical via the unique Fenton chemistry of iron. However, their pH dependent activity is restricted to acidic environment and dramatic loss in antibacterial activity is observed at near neutral pH. Here we describe a novel strategy to overcome the pH lacunae of citrate coated Fe3O4 NP by utilizing adenosine triphosphate disodium salt (ATP) as a synergistic agent to accelerate the OH radical production and restore its antibacterial activity over a wide range of pH. This synergistic combination (30 µg/mL Fe3O4 NP and 2.5 mM ATP) shows a high bactericidal activity against both gram positive (B. subtilis) and gram negative (E. coli) bacterial strains, in presence of H2O2, at neutral pH. The synergistic effect (Fe3O4 NP + ATP) is determined from the viability assessment and membrane damage studies and is further confirmed by comparing the concentration of generated OH radicals. Over all, this study illustrates ATP assisted and OH-mediated bactericidal activity of Fe3O4 nanozyme at near neutral pH.

Abstract
Otitis media, commonly known as middle ear inflammation, is among one of the most common maladies and results in significant morbidity such as loss of hearing. In view of the bacteria invasion such as Staphylococcus aureus causes the majority forms of otitis media, drug treatment generally uses antibacterial by topical or systematic approach. However, the effectiveness of antibacterial is diminishing because of the rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. Here, we designed and fabricated a silver nanoparticle (AgNPs)-based multicomponent hybrid nanocomposite termed as TSIIA @ CS/Lys @ AgNPs, which was comprised of a AgNPs core, a chitosan (CS) or lysozyme (Lys) middle layer, and a Tanshinone IIA (TSIIA) inclusion outlayer. Coating of CS or Lys to AgNPs through electrostatic interaction probably produced a core-shell nanocomplex resembling the endocarp of walnut. This design could reduce the dosage of AgNPs while maintaining antibacterial activity possibly due to the favorable interactions between nanocomplex and bacteria. The deposition of Chinese herb active component TSIIA by inclusion complexation formed the out layer of hybrid nanocomposite towards an improved antibacterial performance, which showed a therapeutic effect against acute otitis media of guinea pig comparable to the clinical commercial-used ofloxacin administrated by injection. The hybrid nanocomposite, when dispersed in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (PLGA/NMP) solution as an in-situ organogel, not only maintained the therapeutic effectiveness, but also possessed the advantage of lower injection frequency compared with solution formulation. In addition, no obvious toxicity to the basilar membrane and epithelia tissue was observed after the healthy guinea pigs were treated with hybrid nanocomposite or organogel. This study provides a promising strategy to develop hybrid nanocomposite with enhanced antibacterial efficacy and also opens a new way for the establishment of efficient therapeutic systems with reduced administration frequency as substitute of antibiotics to treat otitis media.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections cause more than 700 000 deaths each year worldwide. Detection of bacteria is critical in limiting infection-based damage. Nanomaterials provide promising sensing platforms owing to their ability to access new interaction modalities. Nanoclusters feature sizes smaller than traditional nanomaterials, providing great sensitive ability for detecting analytes. The distinct optical and catalytic properties of nanoclusters combined with their biocompatibility enables them as efficient biosensors. In this review, we summarize multiple strategies that utilize nanoclusters for detection of pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
The complex synthesis process, low utilization, and single function of fungicides have seriously hindered the development of fungicides in resistance to rice sheath blight. Here, an inexpensive and multifunctional Cu(II)-based water-dispersible humic acid (Cu-WH) fungicide with growth-promoting ability was developed with a simple method. A 3D molybdate carbon hierarchical nanosphere (MoO2-C-HN) catalyst was successfully synthesized using a green route and applied in a solid-phase activation of lignite to obtain water-dispersible humic acid. Cu(II)-based water-dispersible humic acid (Cu-WH) was then formed through a simple reaction of Cu(II) and the humic acid. The resultant Cu-WH showed strong antifungal performance against Rhizoctonia solani in laboratory incubation experiments. After being treated with Cu3-WH (0.1 mg L-1), the control efficiency of rice sheath blight at 1, 3, and 5 days after infection was 90.54%, 78.96%, and 66.31%, respectively. It also enhanced the water-holding capacity of the substrate and thus effectively improved the growth of rice seedlings. In comparison to commercial rice seedling substrate, the substrate treated with 8 wt % of Cu3-WH increased plant height, stem diameter, fresh weight, and chlorophyll content by 19.23%, 35.91%, 14.52%, and 42.85%, respectively. The newly developed Cu-WH thus can be used as a novel low-cost efficient fungicide and growth stimulator to treat rice sheath blight as well as to increase rice production.

Abstract
Small copper sulfide nanoparticles (s-Cu2-xS NPs, 0 < x < 1) with a core size of less than 5.5 nm have unique physicochemical characteristics and pharmacokinetic properties and have attracted substantial attention from researchers in the field of biomedicine in recent years. After exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light, s-Cu2-xS NPs can rapidly convert light energy into heat for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT). In addition, the potential for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, along with the low toxicity and low cost, makes s-Cu2-xS NPs a promising multifunctional diagnostic reagent. This Review outlines recent advances in s-Cu2-xS NPs for molecular imaging and tumor therapy and discusses the challenges associated with successful clinical translation.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have caused serious threats to public health due to the antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. Recently, gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been extensively investigated for biomedical applications because of their superior structural and optical properties. Great efforts have demonstrated that AuNCs conjugated with various surface ligands are promising antimicrobial agents owing to their high biocompatibility, polyvalent effect, easy modification and photothermal stability. In this review, we have highlighted the recent achievements for the utilizations of AuNCs as the antimicrobial agents. We have classified the antimicrobial AuNCs by their surface ligands including small molecules (< 900 Daltons) and macromolecules (> 900 Daltons). Moreover, the antimicrobial activities and mechanisms of AuNCs have been introduced into two main categories of small molecules and macromolecules, respectively. In accordance with the advancements of antimicrobial AuNCs, we further provided conclusions of current challenges and recommendations of future perspectives of antimicrobial AuNCs for fundamental researches and clinical applications.

Abstract
Chronic nonhealing wounds have imposed serious challenges in the clinical practice, especially for the patients infected with multidrug-resistant microbes. Herein, we developed an ultrasmall copper sulfide (covellite) nanodots (CuS NDs) based dual functional nanosystem to cure multidrug-resistant bacteria-infected chronic nonhealing wound. The nanosystem could eradicate multidrug-resistant bacteria and expedite wound healing simultaneously owing to the photothermal effect and remote control of copper-ion release. The antibacterial results indicated that the combination treatment of photothermal CuS NDs with photothermal effect initiated a strong antibacterial effect for drug-resistant pathogens including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase Escherichia coli both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, the released Cu2+ could promote fibroblast cell migration and endothelial cell angiogenesis, thus accelerating wound-healing effects. In MRSA-infected diabetic mice model, the nanosystem exhibited synergistic wound healing effect of infectious wounds in vivo and demonstrated negligible toxicity and nonspecific damage to major organs. The combination of ultrasmall CuS NDs with photothermal therapy displayed enhanced therapeutic efficacy for chronic nonhealing wound in multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, which may represent a promising class of antibacterial strategy for clinical translation.

Abstract
Transportation of exogenous copper ions into cancer cells by copper carriers has gained increasing interest for cancer chemotherapy. We disclosed herein a redox-dependent copper carrier, 2,2'-dithiodipyridine (DPy), which binds copper ions and carries the cargo into cells. The cellular reducing environment cleaved the disulfide bond in DPy to facilitate unloading copper ions. The elevated copper level then elicits oxidative stress and subsequently promotes the reformation of DPy. Further mechanistic studies revealed that the DPy/copper combination predominantly targets the cellular redox-regulating systems, including the thioredoxin system and the glutathione system, to induce the oxidative stress-mediated death of tumor cells. The discovery of DPy as a cleavable and recyclable copper shuttle provides a proof of concept for designing novel biomaterials for copper transportation as potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
A near-infrared (NIR) light-triggerable thermo-sensitive hydrogel-based drug reservoir that can realize on-demand antibiotics release and hyperthermia-assisted bacterial inactivation was prepared to combat bacterial infection and promote wound healing. The drug reservoir was fabricated by mixing ciprofloxacin (Cip, a potent antibiotic)-loaded polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles (NPs) and glycol chitosan (GC) to form an injectable hydrogel (PDA NP-Cip/GC hydrogel, abbreviated as Gel-Cip). On the one hand, the positive charge of GC and the adsorbability of PDA NPs made bacteria be readily trapped on the surface of Gel-Cip. On the other hand, the Gel-Cip exhibited minimal leakage under physiological conditions, but could boost Cip release upon NIR light irradiation. Meanwhile, NIR light irradiation could activate the photothermal PDA NPs, and the generated local hyperthermia induced the destruction of the bacterial integrity, leading to bacterial inactivation in a synergistic way. Moreover, the exceptional bacterial killing activity and outstanding wound healing ability of the system were also verified by the S. aureus-infected mouse skin defect model. Taken together, the light-activatable hydrogel-based platform allows us to release antibiotics more precisely, eliminate bacteria more effectively, and inhibit bacteria-induced infections more persistently, which will advance the development of novel antibacterial agents and strategies.
