Abstract
Aging, marked by dysregulated cellular systems, gives rise to a spectrum of age-related disorders, including neurodegeneration, atherosclerosis, immunosenescence, and musculoskeletal issues. These conditions contribute significantly to the global disease burden, posing challenges to health span and economic resources. Current therapeutic approaches, although diverse in mechanism, often fall short in targeting the underlying cellular pathologies. They fail to address the issues compounded by altered pharmacokinetics in the elderly. Nanotechnology emerges as a transformative solution, offering tissue-specific targeted therapies through nanoparticles. Functional nanomaterials (FNMs) respond to internal or external stimuli, with light-responsive nanomaterials gaining prominence. Harnessing the benefits of deep tissue penetration and ease of manipulation particularly in the near-infrared spectrum, light-responsive FNMs present innovative strategies for age-related comorbidities. This review comprehensively summarizes the potential of light-responsive FNM-based approaches for targeting cellular environments in age-related disorders, and also emphasizes the advantages over traditional treatment modalities. Specifically, it focuses on the development of various classes of light-responsive functional nanomaterials including plasmonic nanomaterials, nanomaterials as carriers, upconversion nanomaterials, 2D nanomaterials, transition metal oxide and dichalcogenide nanomaterials and carbon-based nanomaterials against age related diseases. We foresee that such advanced developments in the field of nanotechnology could provide a new hope for clinical diagnosis and treatment of age-related disorders.

Abstract
Preventing bacterial infections is a crucial aspect of wound healing. There is an urgent need for multifunctional biomaterials without antibiotics to promote wound healing. In this study, we fabricated a guar gum (GG)-based nanocomposite hydrogel, termed GBTF, which exhibited photothermal antibacterial therapy for infected wound healing. The GBTF hydrogel formed a cross-linked network through dynamic borate/diol interactions between GG and borax, thereby exhibiting simultaneously self-healing, adaptable, and injectable properties. Additionally, tannic acid (TA)/Fe3+ nanocomplexes (NCs) were incorporated into the hydrogel to confer photothermal antibacterial properties. Under the irradiation of an 808 nm near-infrared laser, the TA/Fe3+ NCs in the hydrogel could rapidly generate heat, leading to the disruption of bacterial cell membranes and subsequent bacterial eradication. Furthermore, the hydrogels exhibited good cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility, making them a precandidate for preclinical and clinical applications. Finally, they could significantly promote bacteria-infected wound healing by reducing bacterial viability, accelerating collagen deposition, and promoting epithelial remodeling. Therefore, the multifunctional GBTF hydrogel, which was composed entirely of natural substances including guar gum, borax, and polyphenol/ferric ion NCs, showed great potential for regenerating infected skin wounds in clinical applications.

Abstract
Rapid, convenient, and sensitive detection of bacteria and development of novel antibacterial materials are conducive to accurate treatment of bacterial infection and reducing the generation of drug-resistant bacteria caused by overuse of antibiotics. A dual-function magnetic nanozyme, Fc-MBL@rGO@Fe3O4, has been constructed with broad-spectrum bacterial affinity and good peroxidase-like activity. Detection signal amplification was realized in the presence of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with a detection limit of 26 CFU/mL. In addition, the excellent photothermal properties of Fc-MBL@rGO@Fe3O4 could realize synergistic chemodynamic/photothermal antibacterial therapy. Furthermore, the good bacterial affinity of Fc-MBL@rGO@Fe3O4 enhances the accurate and rapid attack of hydroxyl radical (·OH) on the bacterial membrane and achieves efficient sterilization (100%) at low concentration (40 µg/mL) and mild temperature (47℃). Notably, Fc-MBL@rGO@Fe3O4 has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against Gram-negative, Gram-positive, and drug-resistant bacteria. The magnetic nanoplatform integrating detection-sterilization not only meets the need for highly sensitive and accurate detection in different scenarios, but can realize low power density NIR-II light-responsive chemodynamic/photothermal antibacterial therapy, which has broad application prospects.

Abstract
In response to the trend of drug-resistant and super bacteria, the existing single antibacterial methods are not sufficient to kill bacteria, and the development of multifunctional antibacterial nanomaterials is urgent. Our study aims to construct copper-doped polydopamine-coated Ti3C2Tx (CuPDA@Ti3C2Tx) with an enhanced photothermal property and Fenton-like activity. The nanocomposite hydrogel consisting of CuPDA@Ti3C2Tx and alginate can improve the antioxidant activity of two-dimensional MXene nanosheets by coating them with a thin layer of PDA nanofilm. Meanwhile, Cu ions are adsorbed through the coordination of PDA-rich oxygen-containing functional groups and amino groups. Calcium ions were further used to crosslink sodium alginate to obtain antibacterial hydrogel materials with combined chemotherapy and photothermal therapy properties. The photothermal conversion efficiency of CuPDA@Ti3C2Tx is as high as 57.7% and the antibacterial rate of Escherichia coli reaches 96.12%. The photothermal effect leads to oxidative stress in bacteria, increases cell membrane permeability, and a high amount of ROS and copper ions enter the interior of the bacteria, causing protein denaturation and DNA damage, synergistically leading to bacterial death. Our study involves a multifunctional synergistic antibacterial nanodrug platform, which is conducive to the development of high-performance antibacterial agents and provides important research ideas for solving the problem of drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Sepsis is a critical disease caused by the abrupt increase of bacteria in human blood, which subsequently causes a cytokine storm. Early identification of bacteria is critical to treating a patient with proper antibiotics to avoid sepsis. However, conventional culture-based identification takes a long time. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is not so successful because of the complexity and similarity in the genome sequence of some bacterial species, making it difficult to design primers and thus less suitable for rapid bacterial identification. To address these issues, several new technologies have been developed. Recent advances in nanotechnology have shown great potential for fast and accurate bacterial identification. The most promising strategy in nanotechnology involves the use of nanoparticles, which has led to the advancement of highly specific and sensitive biosensors capable of detecting and identifying bacteria even at low concentrations in very little time. The primary drawback of conventional antibiotics is the potential for antimicrobial resistance, which can lead to the development of superbacteria, making them difficult to treat. The incorporation of diverse nanomaterials and designs of nanomaterials has been utilized to kill bacteria efficiently. Nanomaterials with distinct physicochemical properties, such as optical and magnetic properties, including plasmonic and magnetic nanoparticles, have been extensively studied for their potential to efficiently kill bacteria. In this review, we are emphasizing the recent advances in nano-biotechnologies for bacterial identification and anti-bacterial properties. The basic principles of new technologies, as well as their future challenges, have been discussed.

Abstract
Due to the mortality associated with thrombosis and its high recurrence rate, there is a need to investigate antithrombotic approaches. Noninvasive site-specific thrombolysis is a current approach being used; however, its usage is characterized by the following limitations: low targeting efficiency, poor ability to penetrate clots, rapid half-life, lack of vascular restoration mechanisms, and risk of thrombus recurrence that is comparable to that of traditional pharmacological thrombolysis agents. Therefore, it is vital to develop an alternative technique that can overcome the aforementioned limitations. To this end, a cotton-ball-shaped platelet (PLT)-mimetic self-assembly framework engineered with a phototherapeutic poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) platform has been developed. This platform is capable of delivering a synthetic peptide derived from hirudin P6 (P6) to thrombus lesions, forming P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors for noninvasive site-specific thrombolysis, effective anticoagulation, and vascular restoration. Regulated by P-selectin mediation, the P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors target the thrombus site and subsequently rupture under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, achieving desirable sequential drug delivery. Furthermore, the movement ability of the P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors under NIR irradiation enables effective penetration deep into thrombus lesions, enhancing bioavailability. Biodistribution analyses have shown that the administered P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors exhibit extended circulation time and metabolic capabilities. In addition, the photothermal therapy/photoelectric therapy combination can significantly augment the effectiveness (ca. 72%) of thrombolysis. Consequently, the precisely delivered drug and the resultant phototherapeutic-driven heat-shock protein, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and inhibitory plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activities can restore vessels and effectively prevent rethrombosis. The described biomimetic P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors represent a promising option for improving the efficacy of antithrombotic therapy in thrombus-related illnesses.

Abstract
Bacterial wound infections remain a significant health issue of great concern. Hence, there is a need to develop a novel material with antibacterial properties and smart functions. In this study, the effects of silver nanoparticles content (AgNPs) on properties of photothermal and pH-responsive nanocomposite hydrogels were investigated. The nanocomposite hydrogel samples were prepared using cassava starch waste modified by carboxymethylation (CMS), and mixed with poly vinly alcohol (PVA) and tannic acid (TA). The presence of AgNPs in the hydrogel samples enhanced antibacterial activities and photothermal conversion ability. The use of as-prepared hydrogel using 200 mM silver nitrate (H-AgNPs-200) combined with near infrared (NIR) radiation produced 100 % antibacterial efficiency for Escherichia coli (E.coli) and 98.2 % for Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus). Furthermore, the H-AgNPs-200 also provided the highest storage modulus at 87.9 kPa. The obtained nanocomposite hydrogel was shown to exhibit pH-responsive release of TA. Under NIR radiation, higher release of TA at different pH was observed. The cytotoxicity study indicated that the nanocomposite hydrogels had good biocompatibility. Hence, the development of nanocomposite hydrogel-based CMS from cassava starch waste/PVA/AgNPs is a promising and sustainable approach where agro-waste product is used as the base material for medical application in wound dressing.

Abstract
Cancer is ranked as the second leading cause of death globally. Traditional cancer therapies including chemotherapy are flawed, with off-target and on-target toxicities on the normal cells, requiring newer strategies to improve cell selective targeting. The application of nanomaterial has been extensively studied and explored as chemical biology tools in cancer theranostics. It shows greater applications toward stability, biocompatibility, and increased cell permeability, resulting in precise targeting, and mitigating the shortcomings of traditional cancer therapies. The nanoplatform offers an exciting opportunity to gain targeting strategies and multifunctionality. The advent of nanotechnology, in particular the development of smart nanomaterials, has transformed cancer diagnosis and treatment. The large surface area of nanoparticles is enough to encapsulate many molecules and the ability to functionalize with various biosubstrates such as DNA, RNA, aptamers, and antibodies, which helps in theranostic action. Comparatively, biologically derived nanomaterials perceive advantages over the nanomaterials produced by conventional methods in terms of economy, ease of production, and reduced toxicity. The present review summarizes various techniques in cancer theranostics and emphasizes the applications of smart nanomaterials (such as organic nanoparticles (NPs), inorganic NPs, and carbon-based NPs). We also critically discussed the advantages and challenges impeding their translation in cancer treatment and diagnostic applications. This review concludes that the use of smart nanomaterials could significantly improve cancer theranostics and will facilitate new dimensions for tumor detection and therapy.

Abstract
Incurable implant-related infection may cause catastrophic consequences due to the existence of a biofilm that resists the infiltration of host immune cells and antibiotics. Innovative approaches inspired by nanomedicine, e.g., engineering innovative multifunctional bionic coating systems on the surface of implants, are becoming increasingly attractive. Herein, 2D black phosphorus nanosheets (BPs) were loaded onto a hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated metal implant to construct a BPs@HA composite coating. With its photothermal conversion effect and in situ biomineralization, the BPs@HA coating shows excellent performances in ablating the bacterial biofilm and accelerating fracture healing, which were verified through both in vitro and in vivo studies. Moreover, differentially expressed genes of bone formation and bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) regulated by the BPs@HA coating were identified using absolute quantitative transcriptome sequencing followed by the screening of gene differential expressions. A functional enrichment analysis reveals that the expression of core markers related to BMSC differentiation and bone formation could be effectively regulated by BPs through a metabolism-related pathway. This work not only illustrates the great potential in clinical application of the BPs@HA composite coating to eliminate bacteria and accelerate bone fracture healing but also contributes to an understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism of osteogenesis physiological function regulation based on an analysis of absolute quantitative transcriptome sequencing.

Abstract
Novel modalities for overcoming recurrent urinary tract infections associated with indwelling urinary catheters are needed, and rapidly induced hyperthermia is one potential solution. PEDOT nanotubes are a class of photothermal particles that can easily be incorporated into silicone to produce thin, uniform coating on medical grade silicone catheters; subsequent laser stimulation therein imparts temperature elevations that can eliminate bacteria and biofilms. PEDOT silicone coatings are stable following thermal sterilization and repeated heating and cooling cycles. Laser stimulation can induce temperature increases of up to 55 °C in 300 s, but only 45 s was needed for ablation of UTI inducing E. coli biofilms in vitro. This work also demonstrates that mild hyperthermia of 50 °C, applied for only 31 s in the presence of antibiotics could eliminate E. coli biofilm as effectively as high temperatures. This work culminates in the evaluation of the PEDOT NTs for photothermal elimination of E. coli in an in vivo model to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a photothermal nanocomposite (16 s treatment time) for rapid clearance of E. coli.

Abstract
Nanocomposites based on polymers and nanoparticles are used in agriculture for photoconversion of solar radiation, as a basis for covering material, as a packaging material, and as functional films. At the same time, nanocomposites are almost never used in agriculture as biosafe structural materials. In this work, we have developed a technology for obtaining a nanocomposite based on PLGA and iron oxide nanoparticles. The nanocomposite has unique physical and chemical properties and also exhibits pronounced antibacterial properties at a concentration of iron oxide nanoparticles of more than 0.01%. At the same time, the nanocomposite does not affect the growth and development of pepper and is biocompatible with mammalian cells. Nanocomposites based on PLGA and iron oxide nanoparticles can be an attractive candidate for the manufacture of structural and packaging materials in agriculture.

Abstract
Exploration of versatile nanoplatforms within one single nanostructure for multidisciplinary treatment modalities, especially achieving a synergistic therapeutic efficacy of combinational gene/photothermal cancer therapy is still a great challenge in biomedicine and nanotechnology. In this study, a unique photothermal nanocarrier has successfully been designed and developed for a combination of gene therapy (GT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer cells. Surface-engineered iron oxides (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) polymer coatings are synthesized using a one-pot in situ oxidative polymerization method. The results show that the as-prepared α-Fe2O3@PEDOT core-shell NPs with a uniform particle size exhibit positively charged surfaces, facilitating efficient siRNA Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2) uptake for delivery to breast cancer cells. More importantly, α-Fe2O3@PEDOT core-shell NPs not only display good biocompatibility and water dispersibility but also strong optical absorption enhancement in the Vis-NIR region as compared to α-Fe2O3 NPs. The obtained α-Fe2O3@PEDOT core-shell NPs show an efficient photothermal conversion efficacy (η = 54.3%) and photostability under NIR laser irradiation. As a result, both in vitro and in vivo biological studies on two types of breast cancer cells/tumors treated with α-Fe2O3@PEDOT-siRNA nanocomplexes demonstrate high cancer cell apoptosis and tumor inhibition induced by synergistic GT/PTT therapy under mild conditions compared to an individual GT or PTT alone. Taken together, this is the first example of the use of an α-Fe2O3@PEDOT core-shell nanoagent as a siRNA delivery nanocarrier for highly effective gene/photothermal combination anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Effectively harnessing renewable and inexhaustible solar radiation for energy conversion has attracted significant research interest in the past decade. Solar thermal conversion, as a ubiquitous phenomenon, can be implemented to evaporate water and concurrently boost photocatalytic performance for addressing freshwater scarcity and energy crisis. Most recently, solar water evaporation accompanied by photocatalytic degradation, sterilization, and hydrogen production has been proposed as a promising avenue to endow new vitality into the field of clean water and energy production. Driven by the advances of rationally designed solar-powered functional materials, a large variety of photothermal-coupled photocatalysis technologies have been exploited. In this context, it is imperative to summarize the recent progress and discuss the challenges in this multidisciplinary field. Herein, we overview photothermal materials based on various fundamental principles and highlight emerging applications in the areas of solar water evaporation, water purification, and solar-driven energy production. Furthermore, the challenges and perspectives toward both fundamental research and practical applications are also proposed. It is envisioned that this review can provide insightful suggestions to further advance the development of integrated solar thermal driven water evaporation and photocatalytic systems to fulfill concurrent energy conversion and environmental applications.

Abstract
Bioelectronics have made strides in improving clinical diagnostics and precision medicine. The potential of bioelectronics for bidirectional interfacing with biology through continuous, label-free monitoring on one side and precise control of biological activity on the other has extended their application scope to in vitro systems. The advent of microfluidics and the considerable advances in reliability and complexity of in vitro models promise to eventually significantly reduce or replace animal studies, currently the gold standard in drug discovery and toxicology testing. Bioelectronics are anticipated to play a major role in this transition offering a much needed technology to push forward the drug discovery paradigm. Organic electronic materials, notably conjugated polymers, having demonstrated technological maturity in fields such as solar cells and light emitting diodes given their outstanding characteristics and versatility in processing, are the obvious route forward for bioelectronics due to their biomimetic nature, among other merits. This review highlights the advances in conjugated polymers for interfacing with biological tissue in vitro, aiming ultimately to develop next generation in vitro systems. We showcase in vitro interfacing across multiple length scales, involving biological models of varying complexity, from cell components to complex 3D cell cultures. The state of the art, the possibilities, and the challenges of conjugated polymers toward clinical translation of in vitro systems are also discussed throughout.

Abstract
Atmospheric pollution demands the development of solar-driven photocatalytic technologies for the conversion of CO2 into a fuel; state-of-the-art cocatalyst systems demonstrate conversion efficiencies currently unattainable by a single catalyst. Here, we upend the status quo demonstrating that the nanofibrillar conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is a record-breaking single catalyst for the photoreduction of CO2 to CO. This high catalytic efficiency stems from a highly conductive nanofibrillar structure that significantly enhances surface area, CO2 adsorption and light absorption. Moreover, the polymer's band gap is optimized via chemical doping/dedoping treatments using hydrochloric acid, ammonia hydroxide, and hydrazine. The hydrazine-treated PEDOT catalyst exhibits 100% CO yield under a stable regime (>10 h) with a maximum rate of CO evolution (3000 μmol gcat -1 h-1) that is 2 orders of magnitude higher than the top performing single catalyst and surpassed only by three other cocatalyst systems. Nanofibrillar PEDOT provides a new direction for designing the next generation of high-efficiency photoreduction catalysts.

Abstract
In recent years, new carbonized nanomaterials have emerged in imaging, sensing, and various biomedical applications. Published literature shows that carbon dots (CDs) have been explored more extensively than any other nanomaterials. However, its polymeric version, carbon polymer dots (CPDs), did not get much attention. The non-conjugated and single-particle CPDs have all the merits of polymer and CDs, such as photoluminescent properties. The partially carbonized CPDs can be applied like CDs without surface passivation and functionalization. This merit can be further enhanced through the selection of desired precursors and control of carbonization synthesis. CPDs can absorb UV-visible-NIR light and can enhance the photoresponsive chemical and biochemical interactions. This review aims to introduce this area of renewed interest and provide insights into current developments of CPDs nanoparticles and present an overview of chemical, biological, and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a critical global healthcare issue that urgently needs new effective solutions. While small molecule antibiotics have been safeguarding us for nearly a century since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming, the emergence of a new class of antimicrobials in the form of synthetic antimicrobial polymers, which was driven by the advances in controlled polymerization techniques and the desire to mimic naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides, could play a key role in fighting multidrug resistant bacteria in the near future. By harnessing the ability to control chemical and structural properties of polymers almost at will, synthetic antimicrobial polymers can be strategically utilized in combination therapy with various antimicrobial coagents in different formats to yield more potent (synergistic) outcomes. In this review, we present a short summary of the different combination therapies involving synthetic antimicrobial polymers, focusing on their combinations with nitric oxide, antibiotics, essential oils, and metal- and carbon-based inorganics.

Abstract
This work reports the use of conjugated polymer nanostructures (CPNs) as photoactivated antimicrobial compounds against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. Two representative CPNs of polythiophene (PEDOT) and polyaniline (PANI) were prepared as nanofibres with an average diameter of 40 nm and length in the micrometer range. Both CPNs exhibited strong antimicrobial activity under UVA irradiation with the same fluence rate as the UVA component of the solar spectrum. The effect was tested using the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. The reduction of colony forming units (CFUs) reached >6 log for PEDOT concentrations as low as 33 ng mL-1. For PEDOT nanofibers, a complete inhibition of S. aureus and E. coli growth was reached at 883 ng mL-1 and 333 ng mL-1 respectively. The photoactivation effect of PANI nanofibres on S. aureus and E. coli was also high, with a CFU reduction of about 7 log and 4 log respectively for an exposure concentration of 33 ng mL-1. The antimicrobial activity was only high under light irradiation and was almost negligible for bulk PEDOT and PANI. The effect of polymeric nanofibers could be attributed to the photoinduced generation of reactive oxygen species, which may induce cell membrane damage, eventually leading to bacterial impairment and inhibition of their biofilm forming capacity. CPN PEDOT and PANI coatings were able to keep surfaces free of bacterial attachment and growth even after 20 h of previous contact with exponentially growing cultures in the dark. PEDOT and PANI CPNs demonstrated good cytocompatibility with human fibroblasts and the absence of hemolytic activity. The materials demonstrated advantages in terms of broad antibacterial spectrum, biofilm inhibition, and the absence of acute toxicity for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Due to the emerging bacterial resistance and the protection of tenacious biofilms, it is hard for the single antibacterial modality to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects nowadays. In recent years, photothermal therapy (PTT)-derived multimodal synergistic treatments have received wide attention and exhibited cooperatively enhanced bactericidal activity. PTT features spatiotemporally controllable generation of hyperthermia that could eradicate bacteria without inducing resistance. The synergy of it with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, photo-dynamic/catalytic therapy (PDT/PCT), immunotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy (SDT), could lower the introduced laser density in PTT and avoid undesired overheating injury of normal tissues. Simultaneously, by heat-induced improvement of the bacterial membrane permeability, PTT is conducive for accelerated intracellular permeation of chemotherapeutic drugs as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photosensitizers/sonosensitizers, and could promote infiltration of immune cells. Thereby, it could solve the currently existing sterilization deficiencies of other combined therapeutic modes, for example, bacterial resistance for chemotherapy, low drug permeability for PDT/PCT/SDT, adverse immunoreactions for immunotherapy, etc. Admittedly, PTT-derived synergistic treatments are becoming essential in fighting bacterial infection, especially those caused by antibiotic-resistant strains. This review firstly presents the classical and newly reported photothermal agents (PTAs) in brief. Profoundly, through the introduction of delicately designed nanocomposite platforms, we systematically discuss the versatile photothermal-derived multimodal synergistic therapy with the purpose of sterilization application. At the end, challenges to PTT-derived combinational therapy are presented and promising synergistic bactericidal prospects are anticipated.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging approach to overcome bacterial infections that can efficiently convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). How to develop safe and effective CDT-based strategies is in high demand but challenging. Herein, a cascade catalytic nanoplatform (GOx-NCs/Fe3O4) was designed by absorbing glucose oxidase (GOx) onto the surface of covalent-assembled polymer capsules (NCs) encapsulating Fe3O4 nanoparticles. With the presence of glucose, GOx could effectively catalyze it to produce H2O2 and result in a decrease in pH value, both of which would assist the subsequent Fenton reaction. Encapsulated Fe3O4 nanoparticles would subsequently trigger H2O2 to produce ˙OH, which could make antibacterial CDT come true. More importantly, the polymer capsules exhibited little to no cytotoxicity towards mammalian cells, which might provide more opportunities and potential to apply in other fields.

Abstract
Cancer remains one of the most deadly diseases globally, but carbon-based nanomaterials have the potential to revolutionize cancer diagnosis and therapy. Advances in nanotechnology and a better understanding of tumor microenvironments have contributed to novel nanotargeting routes that may bring new hope to cancer patients. Several low-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials have shown promising preclinical results; as such, low-dimensional carbon dots (CDs) and their derivatives are considered up-and-coming candidates for cancer treatment. The unique properties of carbon-based nanomaterials are high surface area to volume ratio, chemical inertness, biocompatibility, and low cytotoxicity. It makes them well suited for delivering chemotherapeutics in cancer treatment and diagnosis. Recent studies have shown that the CDs are potential applicants in biomedical sciences, both as nanocarriers and nanotransducers. This review covers the most commonly used CD nanoparticles in nanomedicines intended for the early diagnosis and therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Backgroud: Nowadays, biofilms that are generated as a result of antibiotic abuse cause serious threats to global public health. Such films are the primary factor that contributes to the failure of antimicrobial treatment. This is due to the fact that the films prevent antibiotic infiltration, escape from innate immune attacks by phagocytes and consequently generate bacterial resistance. Therefore, exploiting novel antibacterial agents or strategies is extremely urgent. Methods: Herein, we report a rational construction of a novel biofilm microenvironment (BME)-responsive antibacterial platform that is based on tungsten (W)-polyoxometalate clusters (POMs) to achieve efficient bactericidal effects. Results: On one hand, the acidity and reducibility of a BME could lead to the self-assembly of POMs to produce large aggregates, which favor biofilm accumulation and enhance photothermal conversion under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. On the other hand, reduced POM aggregates with BME-induced photothermal-enhanced efficiency also exhibit surprisingly high peroxidase-like activity in the catalysis of bacterial endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS). This enhances biofilm elimination and favors antibacterial effects. Most importantly, reduced POMs exhibit the optimal peroxidase-like activity in an acidic BME. Conclusion: Therefore, in addition to providing a prospective antibacterial agent, intelligent acid/reductive dual-responsive POMs will establish a new representative paradigm for the areas of healthcare with minimal side effects.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination is a severe issue that affects medical devices, hospital tools and surfaces. When microorganisms adhere to a surface (e.g., medical devices or implants) they can develop into a biofilm, thereby becoming more resistant to conventional biocides and disinfectants. Nanoparticles can be used as an antibacterial agent in medical instruments or as a protective coating in implantable devices. In particular, attention is being drawn to photothermally active nanoparticles that are capable of converting absorbed light into heat. These nanoparticles can efficiently eradicate bacteria and biofilms upon light activation (predominantly near the infrared to near-infrared spectral region) due a rapid and pronounced local temperature increase. By using this approach new, protective, antibacterial surfaces and materials can be developed that can be remotely activated on demand. In this review, we summarize the state-of-the art regarding the application of various photothermally active nanoparticles and their corresponding nanocomposites for the light-triggered eradication of bacteria and biofilms.

Abstract
Complicated issue in infectious illnesses therapy is increasing of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria and biofilms in bacterial infections. In this way, emerging of nanotechnology as a new weapon specifically in the cases of metal nanoparticle (MNPs) synthesis and MNPs surface modification has obtained more attention. In this study, ultrasound-assisted green synthesis method was utilized for the preparation of Fe3O4 NPs with novel shape (dendrimer) through leaf aqueous extract of Artemisia haussknechtii Boiss. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopic (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were applied for MNPs physicochemical characterization. Also, disc diffusion assay, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), planktonic and biofilm morphology of three pathogenic bacteria involving Serratia marcescens ATCC 13880, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were evaluated upon treatment of Fe3O4 NPs as antiplanktonic and antibiofilm analysis. Results showed efficient antiplanktonic and antibiofilm activities of biosynthesized Fe3O4 NPs with average diameter size of 83.4 nm. Reduction in biofilm formation of S. aureus ATCC under Fe3O4 NPs stress was significant (66%) in higher MNPs concentration (100 μg/mL). In addition, as first report, spreading ability of S. aureus as important factor in colony expansion on culture medium was reduced by increasing of Fe3O4 NPs. Present study demonstrates striking antiplanktonic, antibiofilm, antispreading mobility and antioxidant aspects of one-pot biosynthesized Fe3O4 NPs with novel shape.

Abstract
Nowadays, photothermal killing of pathogenic bacteria and treatment of wound infection have attracted great attention owing to effectively avoiding the drawbacks of traditional antibiotics. In this work, an agarose (AG)-based hydrogel containing tannic acid-Fe(III) (TA-Fe) nanoparticles was fabricated by a facile and eco-friendly strategy. The optimal nanocomposite hydrogel showed the good mechanical property and superior processability. More importantly, the nanocomposite hydrogel revealed outstanding photothermal effect, which exhibited a sharp temperature increase of 58 °C during NIR exposure for 10 min. With in vitro antibacterial experiment, the hydrogel could effectively kill of nearly 99 % of bacteria with 10 min of NIR irradiation. Additionally, for the in vivo experiment, the nanocomposite hydrogel could effectively cure wound infection and promote wound healing. Moreover, the hydrogel possessed high biocompatibility. Based on the good mechanical property, outstanding photothermal effect and high biocompatibility, the nanocomposite hydrogel could become a promising antibacterial wound dressings for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Developing new antibacterial nanomaterials and novel therapeutic strategies for the destruction of human pathogenic bacteria that cause infectious diseases is becoming more crucial, because infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming more and more difficult to be effectively cured with commercially available antibiotics. In this study, we successfully developed new thiol chitosan-wrapped gold nanoshells (TC-AuNSs) as an antibacterial agent for the near-infrared (NIR) laser-triggered photothermal destruction of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, such as Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli), owing to their high water solubility, biocompatibility, strong NIR absorption, and outstanding photothermal properties. More interestingly, TC-AuNSs (115 μg/mL) were capable of completely destroying S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E.coli within 5 min of NIR laser irradiation, and no bacterial growth was detected on the tryptic soy agar (TSA) plate after 48 h of laser irradiation, indicating that TC-AuNSs along with laser irradiation are highly efficient and can kill bacteria quickly and prevent bacterial regrowth. We believe that TC-AuNSs deserve much more attention as an antibacterial agent, to be used in effectively combating pathogenic bacteria associated with public health problems and monitoring of environmental pollution for hygiene and safety.

Abstract
Conducting polymers are considered to be favorable electrode materials for implanted biosensors and bioelectronics, because their mechanical properties are similar to those of biological tissues such as nerve and brain tissues. However, one of the primary challenges for implanted devices is to prevent the unwanted protein adhesion or cell binding within biological fluids. The nonspecific adsorption generally causes the malfunction of implanted devices, which is problematic for long-term applications. When responding to the requirements of solving the problems caused by nonspecific adsorption, an increasing number of studies on antifouling conducting polymers has been recently published. In this review, synthetic strategies for preparing antifouling conducting polymers, including direct synthesis of functional monomers and post-functionalization, are introduced. The applications of antifouling conducting polymers in modern biomedical applications are particularly highlighted. This paper presents focuses on the features of antifouling conducting polymers and the challenges of modern biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies have been expected to provide innovative platforms for addressing antibacterial challenges, with potential to even deal with bacterial infections involving drug-resistance. The current review summarizes recent progress over the last 3 years in the field of antibacterial nanomaterials with a photothermal conversion effect. We classify these photothermal nanomaterials into four functional categories: carbon-based nanoconjugates of graphene derivatives or carbon nanotubes, noble metal nanomaterials mainly from gold and silver, metallic compound nanocomposites such as copper sulfide and molybdenum sulfide, and polymeric as well as other nanostructures. Different categories can be assembled with each other to enhance the photothermal effects and the antibacterial activities. The review describes their fabrication processes, unique properties, antibacterial modes, and potential healthcare applications.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials that have low tissue toxicity, multi-modal imaging capability and high photothermal conversion efficiency have great potential to enable image-guided near infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy (PTT). Here, we report a bifunctional nanoparticle (BFNP, ∼16 nm) comprised of a magnetic Fe3O4 core (∼9.1 nm) covered by a fluorescent carbon shell (∼3.4 nm) and prepared via a one-pot solvothermal synthesis method using ferrocene as the sole source. The BFNP exhibits excitation wavelength-tunable, upconverted and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence property due to the presence of the carbon shell, and superparamagnetic behavior resulted from the Fe3O4 core. BFNPs demonstrate dual-modal imaging capacity both in vitro and in vivo with fluorescent imaging excited under a varying wavelength from 405 nm to 820 nm and with T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (r2 = 264.76 mM-1 s-1). More significantly, BFNPs absorb and convert NIR light to heat enabling photothermal therapy as demonstrated mice bearing C6 glioblastoma. These BFNPs show promise as an advanced nanoplatform to provide imaging guided photothermal therapy.

Abstract
The inactivation of bacteria and the degradation of organic pollutants by engineered nanomaterials (NMs) are very effective approaches for producing safe and clean drinking water. The development of new NMs which can act as NIR light mediated antimicrobial agents as well as photocatalytic agents is highly desired. In this study, a novel Bi2Se3 nanoplates (NPs) NM was prepared by a high-temperature reaction (colloidal synthesis) followed by wrapping of the surface with polyethyleneimine (PEI) through electrostatic interactions. The developed Bi2Se3 NPs/PEI exhibited excellent NIR light activated antimicrobial properties for bacterial eradication and efficient photocatalytic properties for organic dye degradation. The results showed that upon 808 nm laser irradiation the engineered Bi2Se3 NPs/PEI eradicated ∼99% of S. aureus and ∼97% of E. coli bacteria within 10 minutes of irradiation through combined dual-modal photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) via the generation of heat and reactive oxygen species, respectively. The contributions of PTT and PDT were found to be in a ratio of nearly 4 : 1 in the killing of both species of bacteria. In addition, Bi2Se3 NPs/PEI also acted as an excellent photocatalyst under illumination by a halogen lamp equipped with a 700-1100 nm band pass filter to achieve degradation efficiencies of ∼95% for methylene blue and ∼93% for Rhodamine B within 3 and 4 h, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of these NIR light activated antimicrobial properties, photodynamic properties and photocatalytic properties mediated by Bi2Se3 NPs.

Abstract
Exploring multifunctional nanomaterials from biocompatible constituents, with integrated imaging and targeted combination therapeutic modalities of tumors in vivo, provides great prospects for clinical cancer theranostic applications. Here, we report a combination strategy for functionalization of polydopamine (PDA) nanohosts with magnetic response and stimuli-controlled drug release capabilities for in vivo cancer theranostic. The high processability of PDA as nanotemplates and surface coating layers as well as its natural affinity to metals facilitated the sandwich of a compact iron oxide nanoparticle layer into the PDA matrix, realizing enhanced near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion and strong superparamagnetic responsiveness. Additionally, the high reactivity of the PDA surface allowed facile linkage with reduction-responsive prodrugs and polyethylene glycol chains for in vivo chemotherapy of cancer. Under the magnetic resonance imaging/photoacoustic imaging dual-modal tumor imaging and active magnetic tumor targeting of the nanoagents in vivo, the effective tumor eradication was achieved via synergetic NIR photothermal ablation and anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
The spread of antibiotic resistance and increasing prevalence of biofilm-associated infections is driving demand for new means to treat bacterial infection. Nanotechnology provides an innovative platform for addressing this challenge, with potential to manage even infections involving multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. The current review summarizes recent progress over the last 2 years in the field of antibacterial nanodrugs, and describes their unique properties, mode of action and activity against MDR bacteria and biofilms. Biocompatibility and commercialization are also discussed. As opposed to the more common division of nanoparticles (NPs) into organic- and inorganic-based materials, this review classifies NPs into two functional categories. The first includes NPs exhibiting intrinsic antibacterial properties and the second is devoted to NPs serving as a cargo for delivering antibacterial agents. Antibacterial nanomaterials used to decorate medical devices and implants are reviewed here as well.
