Abstract
Self-monitoring in tumor therapy is a concept that allows for real-time monitoring of the location and state of applied nanomaterials. This monitoring relies on dynamic signals, such as wave or magnetic signals, which vary in response to changes in the location and state of nanomaterials. Dynamic changes in nanomaterials can be monitored using dynamic signals, making it possible to determine and control the treatment process. Theranostic nanomaterials, which possess unique physical and chemical properties, have recently been explored as a viable option for self-monitoring. With the help of self-monitoring, theranostic nanomaterials can guide themselves to achieve region-selective treatment with higher controllability and safety. In this review, self-monitoring theranostic nanomaterials will be introduced in three parts according to their roles during therapy: tumor accumulation, tumor therapy, and metabolism. The limitations and future challenges of current self-monitoring theranostic nanomaterials will also be discussed.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is closely associated with the development of various gastric diseases. The effectiveness of current clinical antibiotic therapy is hampered by the rise of drug-resistant strains and the formation of H. pylori biofilm. This paper reports a sonodynamic nanocomposite PtCu3-PDA@AIPH@Fucoidan (PPAF), which consists of dopamine-modified inorganic sonosensitizers PtCu3, alkyl radicals (R•) generator AIPH and fucoidan, can penetrate the mucus layer, target H. pylori, disrupt biofilms, and exhibit excellent bactericidal ability. In vitro experiments demonstrate that PPAF exhibits excellent acoustic kinetic properties, generating a significant amount of reactive oxygen species and oxygen-independent R• for sterilization under ultrasound stimulation. Simultaneously, the produced N2 can enhance the cavitation effect, aiding PPAF nanoparticles in penetrating the gastric mucus layer and disrupting biofilm integrity. This disruption allows more PPAF nanoparticles to bind to biofilm bacteria, facilitating the eradication of H. pylori. In vivo experiments demonstrate that ultrasound-stimulated PPAF exhibited significant antibacterial efficacy against H. pylori. Moreover, it effectively modulated the expression levels of inflammatory factors and maintained gastrointestinal microbiota stability when compared to the antibiotic treatment group. In summary, PPAF nanoparticles present a potential alternative to antibiotics, offering an effective and healthy option for treating H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious clinical syndrome with high morbidity, elevated mortality, and poor prognosis, commonly considered a "sword of Damocles" for hospitalized patients, especially those in intensive care units. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, caused by the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), play a key role in AKI progression. Hence, the investigation of effective and safe antioxidants and inflammatory regulators to scavenge overexpressed ROS and regulate excessive inflammation has become a promising therapeutic option. However, the unique physiological structure and complex pathological alterations in the kidneys render traditional therapies ineffective, impeding the residence and efficacy of most antioxidant and anti-inflammatory small molecule drugs within the renal milieu. Recently, nanotherapeutic interventions have emerged as a promising and prospective strategy for AKI, overcoming traditional treatment dilemmas through alterations in size, shape, charge, and surface modifications. This Review succinctly summarizes the latest advancements in nanotherapeutic approaches for AKI, encompassing nanozymes, ROS scavenger nanomaterials, MSC-EVs, and nanomaterials loaded with antioxidants and inflammatory regulator. Following this, strategies aimed at enhancing biocompatibility and kidney targeting are introduced. Furthermore, a brief discussion on the current challenges and future prospects in this research field is presented, providing a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of nanotherapeutic interventions for AKI.

Abstract
Progress in microwave (MW) energy application technology has stimulated remarkable advances in manufacturing and high-quality applications of ionic liquids (ILs) that are generally used as novel media in chemical engineering. This Review focuses on an emerging technology via the combination of MW energy and the usage of ILs, termed microwave-assisted ionic liquid (MAIL) technology. In comparison to conventional routes that rely on heat transfer through media, the contactless and unique MW heating exploits the electromagnetic wave-ions interactions to deliver energy to IL molecules, accelerating the process of material synthesis, catalytic reactions, and so on. In addition to the inherent advantages of ILs, including outstanding solubility, and well-tuned thermophysical properties, MAIL technology has exhibited great potential in process intensification to meet the requirement of efficient, economic chemical production. Here we start with an introduction to principles of MW heating, highlighting fundamental mechanisms of MW induced process intensification based on ILs. Next, the synergies of MW energy and ILs employed in materials synthesis, as well as their merits, are documented. The emerging applications of MAIL technologies are summarized in the next sections, involving tumor therapy, organic catalysis, separations, and bioconversions. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities of this emerging technology are discussed.

Abstract
The current global shortage of organ resources, the imbalance in donor-recipient demand and the increasing number of high-risk donors make organ preservation a necessity to consider appropriate storage options. The current method of use often has risks such as blood group mismatch, short shelf life, and susceptibility. HBOCs have positive effects such as anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-proliferative, which have significant advantages in organ storage. Therefore, it is the common pursuit of researchers to design and synthesize HBOCs with safety, ideal oxygen-carrying capacity, easy storage, etc. that are widely applicable and optimal for different organs. There has been a recent advancement in understanding HBOCs mechanisms, which is discussed in this review.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is an attractive approach for cancer therapy, while its antitumor efficacy is still limited, especially for non-immunogenic tumors. Nanomedicines can be utilized to convert the non-immunogenic "cold" tumors to immunogenic "hot" tumors via inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), thereby promoting the antitumor immune response. Some nanomedicines that can produce local heat and reactive oxygen species upon the stimulation of electromagnetic energy are the main candidates for inducing the ICD effect. However, their applications are often restricted due to the poor tissue penetration depths of electromagnetic energy, such as light. By contrast, ultrasound, X-ray, alternating magnetic field, and microwave show excellent tissue penetration depths and thereby can be used for sonodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and microwave ablation therapy, all of which can effectively induce ICD. Herein, the combination of deep-tissue electromagnetic energy with nanomedicines for inducing ICD and cancer immunotherapy are summarized. In particular, the designs of nanomedicines to amplify ICD effect in the presence of deep-tissue electromagnetic energy and sensitize tumors to various immunotherapies will be discussed. At the end of this review, a brief conclusion and discussion of current challenges and further perspectives in this subfield are provided.

Abstract
Cancer thermal therapy, also known as hyperthermia therapy, has long been exploited to eradicate mass lesions that are now defined as cancer. With the development of corresponding technologies and equipment, local hyperthermia therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and high-intensity focused ultrasound, have has been validated to effectively ablate tumors in modern clinical practice. However, they still face many shortcomings, including nonspecific damages to adjacent normal tissues and incomplete ablation particularly for large tumors, restricting their wide clinical usage. Attributed to their versatile physiochemical properties, biomaterials have been specially designed to potentiate local hyperthermia treatments according to their unique working principles. Meanwhile, biomaterial-based delivery systems are able to bridge hyperthermia therapies with other types of treatment strategies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, in this review, we discuss recent progress in the development of functional biomaterials to reinforce local hyperthermia by functioning as thermal sensitizers to endow more efficient tumor-localized thermal ablation and/or as delivery vehicles to synergize with other therapeutic modalities for combined cancer treatments. Thereafter, we provide a critical perspective on the further development of biomaterial-assisted local hyperthermia toward clinical applications.

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

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) are widely used as photosensitizers for image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). Due to the limited penetration depth of light in biological tissues, the treatments of deep-seated tumors by visible-light-sensitized aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers are severely hampered. Microwave dynamic therapy attracts much attention because microwave irradiation can penetrate very deep tissues and sensitize the photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this work, a mitochondrial-targeting AIEgen (DCPy) is integrated with living mitochondria to form a bioactive AIE nanohybrid. This nanohybrid can not only generate ROS under microwave irradiation to induce apoptosis of deep-seated cancer cells but also reprogram the metabolism pathway of cancer cells through retrieving oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) instead of glycolysis to enhance the efficiency of microwave dynamic therapy. This work demonstrates an effective strategy to integrate synthetic AIEgens and natural living organelles, which would inspire more researchers to develop advanced bioactive nanohybrids for cancer synergistic therapy.

Abstract
An ultrasonic method (20 kHz) is introduced to activate pristine ibuprofen organic molecular crystals via complexation with silver in nitrogen-doped oxidized graphene nanoplatforms (∼50 nm). Ultrasonic complexation occurs in a single-step procedure through the binding of the carboxylic groups with Ag and H-bond formation, involving noncovalent πC=C → πC=C* transitions in the altered phenyl ring and πPY → πCO* in ibuprofen occurring between the phenyl ring and C-O bonds as a result of interaction with hydroxyl radicals. The ibuprofen-silver complex in ≪NrGO≫ exhibits a ∼42 times higher acceleration rate than free ibuprofen of the charge transfer between hexacyanoferrate and thiosulfate ions. The increased acceleration rate can be caused by electron injection/ejection at the interface of the ≪Ag-NrGO≫ nanoplatform and formation of intermediate species (Fe(CN)5(CNSO3)x- with x = 4 or 5 and AgHS2O3) at the excess of produced H+ ions. Important for microwave chemotherapy, ibuprofen-silver complexes in the ≪NrGO≫ nanoplatform can produce H+ ions at ∼12.5 times higher rate at the applied voltage range from 0.53 to 0.60 V. ≪Ibu-Ag-NrGO≫ NPs develop ∼105 order higher changes of the electric field strength intensity than free ibuprofen in the microwave absorption range of 100-1000 MHz as revealed from the theoretical modeling of a cervix tumor tissue.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoplatforms integrating diagnostic and therapeutic functions have received considerable attention in the past decade. Among them, hollow manganese (Mn)-based nanoplatforms are superior since they combine the advantages of hollow structures and the intrinsic theranostic features of Mn2+. Specifically, the hollow cavity can encapsulate a variety of small-molecule drugs, such as chemotherapeutic agents, photosensitizers and photothermal agents, for chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), respectively. After degradation in the tumor microenvironment (TME), the released Mn2+ is able to act simultaneously as a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent (CA) and as a Fenton-like agent for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). More importantly, synergistic treatment outcomes can be realized by reasonable and optimized design of the hollow nanosystems. This review summarizes various Mn-based hollow nanoplatforms, including hollow MnxOy, hollow matrix-supported MnxOy, hollow Mn-doped nanoparticles, hollow Mn complex-based nanoparticles, hollow Mn-cobalt (Co)-based nanoparticles, and hollow Mn-iron (Fe)-based nanoparticles, for MR imaging-guided cancer therapies. Finally, we discuss the potential obstacles and perspectives of these hollow Mn-based nanotheranostics for translational applications.

Abstract
Advanced treatments based on immune system manipulation, gene transcription and regulation, specific organ and cell targeting, and/or photon energy conversion have emerged as promising therapeutic strategies against a range of challenging diseases. Naturally derived macromolecules (e.g., proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and polyphenols) have increasingly found use as fundamental building blocks for nanostructured particles as their advantageous properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, inherent bioactivity, and diverse chemical properties make them suitable for advanced therapeutic applications. This review provides a timely and comprehensive summary of the use of a broad range of natural building blocks in the rapidly developing field of advanced therapeutics with insights specific to nanostructured particles. We focus on an up-to-date overview of the assembly of nanostructured particles using natural building blocks and summarize their key scientific and preclinical milestones for advanced therapies, including adoptive cell therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, active targeted drug delivery, photoacoustic therapy and imaging, photothermal therapy, and combinational therapy. A cross-comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different natural building blocks are highlighted to elucidate the key design principles for such bio-derived nanoparticles toward improving their performance and adoption. Current challenges and future research directions are also discussed, which will accelerate our understanding of designing, engineering, and applying nanostructured particles for advanced therapies.

Abstract
Effective thrombolysis is critical to rapidly rebuild blood flow for thrombosis patients. Drug delivery systems have been developed to address inadequate pharmacokinetics of thrombolytic agents, but challenges still remain in the timely removal of blood clots regarding the dense fibrin networks. Herein, rod-shaped tubular micromotors were developed to achieve efficient penetration and thorough destruction of thrombi. By using electrospun fiber fragments as the template, urokinase (uPA)-loaded polydopamine (PDA) microtubes with surface decorated fucoidan (FuPDAuPA) were prepared at the aspect ratio of around 2. One E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) was assembled into one microtube to construct a FuPDAuPA@EcN hybrid micromotor through PDA adhesion and L-aspartate induction. The pharmacokinetic analysis indicates that the encapsulation of uPA into micromotors extends the half-life from 0.4 to 5.6 h and increases the bioavailability over 10 times. EcN-propelled motion elevates adsorption capacities of FuPDAuPA@EcN for more than four times compared with that of FuPDAuPA. The fucoidan-mediated targeting causes 2-fold higher thrombolysis capacity in vitro and over 10-fold higher uPA accumulation in thrombi in vivo. In the treatment of venous thrombi at mouse hindlimbs, intravenous administration of FuPDAuPA@EcN completely removed blood clots with almost full recovery of blood flows and apparently alleviated tail bleeding. It should be noted that FuPDAuPA@EcN treatment at a reduced uPA dose caused no significant difference in the blood flow rate compared with those of FuPDAuPA. The synergistic action of fucoidan-induced targeting and EcN-driven motion provides a prerequisite for promoting thrombolytic efficacy and reducing uPA dose and bleeding side effect. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The standard treatment to thrombosis patient is intravenous infusion of thrombolytic agents, but the associated bleeding complications and impairment of normal haemostasis greatly offset the therapeutic benefits. Drug delivery systems have been developed to address the limitations of inadequate pharmacokinetics of thrombolytic agents, but challenges still exist in less efficient penetration into dense networks for thorough destruction of thrombi. Up to now only few attempts have been made to construct nano-/micromotors for combating thrombosis and there is no single case that antithrombosis is assisted by bacteria or cells-propelled motors. Herein, bacteria-propelled microtubes were developed to carry urokinase for efficient penetration into blood clots and effective thrombolysis. The synergistic action of bacteria-driven motion and specific ligand-induced targeting holds a promising treatment strategy for life-threatening cardiovascular diseases such as thrombosis and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) as a self-polymerized form of dopamine have occurred with growing interest in biomedical applications in late years. Its natural-inspired feature as a conjugated polymer endows excellent inactivating capability for radical species to PDA-based nanoparticles that provide a theoretical foundation for applications in preventing inflammation-mediated acute kidney injury (AKI) from ROS. Here, we develop a polydopamine wrapped manganese ferrite nanoparticles (PDA@MF NPs) strategy for acute kidney injury therapy by synergistically scavenging ROS and producing O2, which further regulates macrophages amounts by decreasing M1-type and increasing M2-type. Water-soluble PDA@MF NPs were prepared in one step after the oxidative and self-polymerized process of the dopamine monomer. Here, the biodegradable PDA NPs were applied to scavenge ROS. MF NPs undertake continuous O2 production in an H2O2-based hypoxic environment. Based on this system, we aim to relieve the hypoxia, pathological symptoms, and inflammation via scavenging ROS during the O2 production process, and effective polarization to M2-type macrophages. PDA@MF NPs in this study were verified could significantly attenuate oxidative stress in vivo, reduce inflammatory events in renal, and improve renal function, which might be a potential treatment to inhibit oxidative damages and inflammatory events in renal AKI disease.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that aims to develop biological substitutes for the replacement, repair, or enhancement of tissue function. The physical and chemical characteristics of biomaterials exert a profound influence on the biological responses and the following biofunction. Nanostructured coatings have been widely applied as an effective surface modification strategy to improve the bioactivity of biomaterials. Especially, polydopamine and polydopamine-derived nanoparticles are found with excessive adhesiveness, redox activity, photothermal conversion capacity, paramagnetism and conductivity other than excellent biocompatibility, and hydrophilicity. In this article, advances about polydopamine nanoparticles in tissue engineering applications are reviewed, including the repair of bone, cartilage, skin, heart, and nerve, to provide strategies for future biomaterial design.

Abstract
To prepare glutaraldehyde-based cross-linked medium molecular weight chitosan nanoparticles encapsulated with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), to overcome dosing frequency as well as reducing acute oral toxicity and poor bioavailability of the drug. Medium molecular weight chitosan nanoparticles (MMWCH-NPs) were prepared by reverse micelles method based on glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linking and optimized by the process as well as formulation variables like a various drug to polymer ratio, cross-linker volumes, varying stirring speeds (rpm), different time of rotation/stirring, respectively and their effects on the mean particles size distribution and entrapment efficiency %EE and %LC of NPs. Characterization of formulations was done by FTIR studies, TEM, PXRD, TGA, Stability, and dissolution drug release studies were performed by dialysis bag technique at both pH (1.2 & 7.4) and acute oral toxicity studies in albino rabbits. The formulated nanoparticles showed a smooth morphology with smaller particle size distribution (230–550 nm), zeta potential (−15 to −18 mV) required to achieve enhanced permeation and retention effect (EPR), entrapment efficiency (%EE 12–59%). These NPs exhibited a controlled drug release profile with 84.36% of the drug over a period of 24 h. Drug release data were fitted to different kinetic models which predominantly followed Fickian diffusion mechanism (R2 = 0.972–0.976, N = 0.326–0.256). The optimized formulation (5-FU6) was observed under DSC/TGA, TEM. PXRD curves, FTIR, which confirmed thermal stability, structural integrity, amorphous state, compatibility between drug and polymer of optimized (5-FU6) as well as reduced acute oral toxicity in albino rabbits. Cross-linked medium molecular weight chitosan nanoparticles are nontoxic, well-tolerated therefore could be the future candidate for therapeutic effects as novel drug delivery carrier for anticancer drug(s).

Abstract
Depending on the local or targeted treatment, independence on tumor type and minimally-invasive and noninvasive feature, various thermal ablation technologies have been established, but they still suffer from the intractable paradox between safety and efficacy. It has been extensively accepted that improving energy utilization efficiency is the primary means of decreasing thermal ablation power and shortening ablation time, which is beneficial for concurrently improving both treatment safety and treatment efficiency. Recent efforts have been made to receive a significant advance in various thermal methods including non-invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound, minimally-invasive radiofrequency and microwave, and non-invasive and minimally-invasive photothermal ablation, and so on. Especially, various nanobiotechnologies and design methodologies were employed to elevate the energy utilization efficiency for acquiring unexpected ablation outcomes accompanied with tremendously reduced power and time. More significantly, some combined technologies, for example, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), gaseous therapy, sonodynamic therapy (SDT), immunotherapy, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), or catalytic nanomedicine, were used to assist these ablation means to repress or completely remove tumors. We discussed and summarized the ablation principles and energy transformation pathways of the four ablation means, and reviewed and commented the progress in this field including newly developed technology or new material types with a highlight on nanobiotechnology-inspired design principles, and provided the deep insights into the existing problems and development direction. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
Phenolics are ubiquitous in nature and have gained immense research attention because of their unique physiochemical properties and widespread industrial use. In recent decades, their accessibility, versatile reactivity, and relative biocompatibility have catalysed research in phenolic-enabled nanotechnology (PEN) particularly for biomedical applications which have been a major benefactor of this emergence, as largely demonstrated by polydopamine and polyphenols. Therefore, it is imperative to overveiw the fundamental mechanisms and synthetic strategies of PEN for state-of-the-art biomedical applications and provide a timely and comprehensive summary. In this review, we will focus on the principles and strategies involved in PEN and summarize the use of the PEN synthetic toolkit for particle engineering and the bottom-up synthesis of nanohybrid materials. Specifically, we will discuss the attractive forces between phenolics and complementary structural motifs in confined particle systems to synthesize high-quality products with controllable size, shape, composition, as well as surface chemistry and function. Additionally, phenolic's numerous applications in biosensing, bioimaging, and disease treatment will be highlighted. This review aims to provide guidelines for new scientists in the field and serve as an up-to-date compilation of what has been achieved in this area, while offering expert perspectives on PEN's use in translational research.

Abstract
Cancer has nowadays become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Conventional anticancer approaches are associated with different limitations. Therefore, innovative methodologies are being investigated, and several researchers propose the use of remotely activated nanoparticles to trigger cancer cell death. The idea is to conjugate two different components, i.e., an external physical input and nanoparticles. Both are given in a harmless dose that once combined together act synergistically to therapeutically treat the cell or tissue of interest, thus also limiting the negative outcomes for the surrounding tissues. Tuning both the properties of the nanomaterial and the involved triggering stimulus, it is possible furthermore to achieve not only a therapeutic effect, but also a powerful platform for imaging at the same time, obtaining a nano-theranostic application. In the present review, we highlight the role of nanoparticles as therapeutic or theranostic tools, thus excluding the cases where a molecular drug is activated. We thus present many examples where the highly cytotoxic power only derives from the active interaction between different physical inputs and nanoparticles. We perform a special focus on mechanical waves responding nanoparticles, in which remotely activated nanoparticles directly become therapeutic agents without the need of the administration of chemotherapeutics or sonosensitizing drugs.

Abstract
Finding the best applications of graphene, and the continuous and scalable preparation of graphene with high quality and high purity, are still two major challenges. Herein, a "pulse-etched" microwave-induced "snowing" (PEMIS) process is developed for continuous and scalable preparation of high-quality and high-purity graphene directly in the gas phase, which is found to have excellent thermotherapeutic effects. The obtained graphene exhibits small size (≈180 nm), high quality, low oxygen content, and high purity, together with a high gas-solid conversion efficiency of ≈10.46%. Considering the intrinsic characteristics of this high-purity and small-sized biocompatible graphene, in particular the low-frequency microwave absorption property as well as the good thermal transformation ability, a graphene-based combination therapeutic system is demonstrated for microwave thermal therapy (MTT) for the first time, exhibiting a high tumor ablation rate of ≈86.7%. This is different from the principle of ions vibrating in a confined space used by current MTT sensitization materials. Not limited to this application, it is foreseen that this PEMIS-based high-quality graphene will allow the search for further suitable applications of graphene.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists are the potent stimulants of innate immune system and hold promises as an adjuvant for anticancer immunotherapy. Unfortunately, most of them are limited by a prompt dissemination, and thus caused "wasted inflammation". Hence, how to restrict their action radius into lymphoid tissues is of great relevance to enhance their efficacy and concomitantly alleviates the side effects. Here, imiquimod (R837), a TLR 7 agonist, was loaded into mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) nanocarriers with high efficiency. Moreover, its surface was modified by polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to enhance their lymphatic drainage ability. These nano-adjuvants have obvious advantages in promoting dendritic cell (DC) maturation in comparison to free R837. Moreover, their transportation and retention ability in proximal lymph nodes (LNs) were also confirmed, by which lymphatic drug exposure can be maximized to a great extent. Consequently, effective DC activation and CD8+ T cell responses were observed as expected by R837 released in draining LNs. This effect was further enhanced by the presence of endogenous tumor antigens from apoptosis debris induced by MPDA-based photothermal effect, and thus led to the growth inhibition of subcutaneous B16 melanomas. The results demonstrated the great potency against melanoma of the designed PVP-MPDA@R837 nano-adjuvants by combining photothermal conversion property of MPDA with lymphatic-focused immune-activation.

Abstract
Biological structures have emerged through millennia of evolution, and nature has fine-tuned the material properties in order to optimise the structure-function relationship. Following this paradigm, polydopamine (PDA), which was found to be crucial for the adhesion of mussels to wet surfaces, was hence initially introduced as a coating substance to increase the chemical reactivity and surface adhesion properties. Structurally, polydopamine is very similar to melanin, which is a pigment of human skin responsible for the protection of underlying skin layers by efficiently absorbing light with potentially harmful wavelengths. Recent findings have shown the subsequent release of the energy (in the form of heat) upon light excitation, presenting it as an ideal candidate for photothermal applications. Thus, polydopamine can both be used to (i) coat nanoparticle surfaces and to (ii) form capsules and ultra-small (nano)particles/nanocomposites while retaining bulk characteristics (i.e., biocompatibility, stability under UV irradiation, heat conversion, and activity during photoacoustic imaging). Due to the aforementioned properties, polydopamine-based materials have since been tested in adhesive and in energy-related as well as in a range of medical applications such as for tumour ablation, imaging, and drug delivery. In this review, we focus upon how different forms of the material can be synthesised and the use of polydopamine in biological and biomedical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Developing new strategies to reduce the output power of microwave (MW) ablation while keeping anti-tumor effect are highly desirable for the simultaneous achievement of effective tumor killing and avoidance of complications. We find that mild MW irradiation can significantly increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration in the presence of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and thus induce massive tumor cell apoptosis. Herein, we designed a synergistic nanoplatform that not only amplifies the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and induce cell death under mild MW irradiation but also avoids the side effect of thermal ablation and chemotherapy. RESULTS The as-made NaCl-DOX@PLGA nanoplatform selectively elevates the temperature of tumor tissue distributed with nanoparticles under low-output MW, which further prompts the release of DOX from the PLGA nanoparticles and tumor cellular uptake of DOX. More importantly, its synergistic effect not only combines thermal ablation and chemotherapy, but also obviously increases the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Changes of Ca2+ broke the homeostasis of tumor cells, decreased the mitochondrial inner membrane potential and finally induced the cascade of apoptosis under nonlethal temperature. As such, the NaCl-DOX@PLGA efficiently suppressed the tumor cell progression in vivo and in vitro under mild MW irradiation for the triple synergic effect. CONCLUSIONS This work provides a biocompatible and biodegradable nanoplatform with triple functions to realize the effective tumor killing in unlethal temperature. Those findings provide reliable solution to solve the bottleneck problem bothering clinics about the balance of thermal efficiency and normal tissue protection.

Abstract
Polyphenols, due to their high biocompatibility and wide occurrence in nature, have attracted increasing attention in the engineering of functional materials ranging from films, particles, to bulk hydrogels. Colloidal particles, such as nanogels, hollow capsules, mesoporous particles and core-shell structures, have been fabricated from polyphenols or their derivatives with a series of polymeric or biomolecular compounds through various covalent and non-covalent interactions. These particles can be designed with specific properties or functionalities, including multi-responsiveness, radical scavenging capabilities, and targeting abilities. Moreover, a range of cargos (e.g., imaging agents, anticancer drugs, therapeutic peptides or proteins, and nucleic acid fragments) can be incorporated into these particles. These cargo-loaded carriers have shown their advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, especially of cancer. In this review, we summarize the assembly of polyphenol-based particles, including polydopamine (PDA) particles, metal-phenolic network (MPN)-based particles, and polymer-phenol particles, and their potential biomedical applications in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Serious side effects are plaguing traditional chemotherapy, and the development of drug-free treatment is expected to ease the dilemma. Herein, drug-free polyarginine probes are fabricated from the co-polymerization of arginine monomer and slight amount of rhodamine B monomer, which are efficient for thermoacoustic imaging and therapy with high biocompatibility and safe metabolism. Polyarginine can be strongly pumped upon pulsed microwave irradiation, generating significant thermoacoustic shockwaves, namely thermocavitation, which can in situ destroy mitochondria to initiate programmed cancer cell apoptosis. In vivo explorations demonstrate the high theranostic efficiency for cancer thermoacoustic imaging and cancer inhibition, exhibiting low systemic cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility after systemic administration. Herein, pulsed microwave-pumped biocompatible polyarginine is promising for drug-free precision theranostics without any detectable side effects, and the deep penetration potency of microwave makes it potentially able to treat deep-seated diseases in future biomedicine.

Abstract
Serious side effects to surrounding normal tissues and unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy hamper the further clinic applications of conventional cancer-therapeutic strategies, such as chemotherapy and surgery. The fast development of nanotechnology provides unprecedented superiorities for cancer therapeutics. Externally activatable therapeutic modalities mediated by nanomaterials, relying on highly effective energy transformation to release therapeutic elements/effects (cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, thermal effect, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, cavitation effect, mechanical effect or chemotherapeutic drug) for cancer therapies, categorized and termed as "energy-converting nanomedicine," have arouse considerable concern due to their noninvasiveness, desirable tissue-penetration depth, and accurate modulation of therapeutic dose. This review summarizes the recent advances in the engineering of intelligent functional nanotherapeutics for energy-converting nanomedicine, including photo-based, radiation-based, ultrasound-based, magnetic field-based, microwave-based, electric field-based, and radiofrequency-based nanomedicines, which are enabled by external stimuli (light, radiation, ultrasound, magnetic field, microwave, electric field, and radiofrequency). Furthermore, biosafety issues of energy-converting nanomedicine related to future clinical translation are also addressed. Finally, the potential challenges and prospects of energy-converting nanomedicine for future clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
Chemothermal brachytherapy seeds have been developed using a combination of polymeric dual drug chemotherapy and alternating magnetic field induced hyperthermia. The synergistic effect of chemotherapy and hyperthermia brachytherapy has been investigated in a way that has never been performed before, with an in-depth analysis of the cancer cell inhibition property of the new system. A comprehensive in vivo study on athymic mice model with SCC7 tumor has been conducted to determine optimal arrays and specifications of the chemothermal seeds. Dual drug chemotherapy has been achieved via surface deposition of polydopamine that carries bortezomib, and also via loading an acidic pH soluble hydrogel that contains 5-Fluorouracil inside the chemothermal seed; this increases the drug loading capacity of the chemothermal seed, and creates dual drug synergism. An external alternating magnetic field has been utilized to induce hyperthermia conditions, using the inherent ferromagnetic property of the nitinol alloy used as the seed casing. The materials used in this study were fully characterized using FESEM, H1 NMR, FT-IR, and XPS to validate their properties. This new approach to experimental cancer treatment is a pilot study that exhibits the potential of thermal brachytherapy and chemotherapy as a combined treatment modality.

Abstract
Since Lee published a pioneering paper about polydopamine (PDA), application of that polymer in a number of areas has grown enormously in the last 10 years and is still growing. PDA's spectacular success can be attributed to its unique features, i.e., simple preparation protocol, strong adhesive properties, easy and straightforward functionalization, and biocompatibility. Therefore, this polymer has attracted the attention of a vast group of scientists, including those working in the field of nanomedicine. In consequence, polydopamine has been merged with various nanostructures that differ in size and nature, which has resulted in novel types of multifunctional nanomaterials that have recently been extensively exploited in nanomedicine and particularly in cancer therapy. The aim of this article is to offer insight into the latest achievements (up until the end of 2016) in the field of synthesis and application of nanomaterials based on polydopamine and their application in cancer therapy. The conclusions regarding the application of polydopamine-based nanoplatforms in this area and future prospects are given at the end.

Abstract
Some of the biomedical polymer-drug conjugates are being translated into clinical trials; however, they intrinsically lack photothermal and multi-imaging capabilities, hindering them from imaging-guided precision cancer therapy and complete tumor regression. We introduce a new concept of all-in-one biopolymer-drug conjugate nanotheranostics and prepare a kind of intracellular pH-sensitive polydopamine-doxorubicin (DOX) conjugate nanoparticles (PDCNs) under mild conditions. Significantly, this strategy integrates polymeric prodrug-induced chemotherapy (CT), near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated photothermal therapy (PT), and triple modalities including DOX self-fluorescence, photothermal, and photoacoustic (PA) imaging into one conjugate nanoparticle. The PDCNs present excellent photothermal property, dual stimuli-triggered drug release behavior, and about 12.4-fold blood circulation time compared to free DOX. Small animal fluorescent imaging technique confirms that PDCNs have preferential tumor accumulation effect in vivo, giving a 12.8-fold DOX higher than the control at 12 h postinjection. Upon NIR laser irradiation (5 min, 808 nm, and 2 W·cm-2), the PDCN-mediated photothermal effect can quickly elevate the tumor over 50 °C, exhibiting good photothermal and PA imaging functions, of which the PA amplitude is 3.6-fold greater than the control. In vitro and in vivo assays persuasively verify that intravenous photothermal-CT of PDCNs produces synergistic antitumor activity compared to single PT or CT, achieving complete tumor ablation during the evaluation period.

Abstract
Toxicological tests of a xenobiotic play a key role to determine the safety of the new compound before it reaches the market. In this review article, we describe the main types of toxicological studies that can be performed in vivo to detect a possible undesired effect of a xenobiotic with especial emphasis on the data available for the different types of nanoparticles. The different procedures described in this review allow to obtain valuable information about the possible toxic effects of a xenobiotic to minimize the possible risks for patients once the compound has been approved for therapeutic use.

Abstract
Theranostic agents for combined chemo-photothermal therapy have attracted intensive interest in the treatment of multi-drug resistance (MDR) in cancer therapy. However, the development of simple theranostic agents as dual hosts for both heat and a high payload of chemotherapeutic agents remains a big challenge. Herein, mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) were successfully developed with properties of a high payload of DOX (up to 2000 μg mg-1) and the drug efflux inhibitor TPGS (d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate), as well as strong near-infrared absorption. Particularly, DOX and TPGS were sequentially loaded in the pore space and on the external particle surface of MPDA via π-π stacking and hydrophobic interactions, resulting in a MPDA-DOX@TPGS complex. The DOX release observably relies on the pH value and glutathione (GSH). Furthermore, it is possible to accelerate the rate of drug release by NIR irradiation. Importantly, the MPDA-DOX@TPGS complex was found to escape from endosomes after cellular uptake and release the loaded drugs into the cytosol. By TPGS mediated MDR reversal, the delivered DOX induced significant cytotoxicity to MCF-7/ADR cells. Besides, MPDA can absorb the NIR light and convert it into fatal heat to kill the cancer cells. As a consequence, the combined therapy in our system yields a synergistic effect with high therapeutic efficacy.
