Abstract
Polymer prodrugs are based on the covalent linkage of therapeutic molecules to a polymer structure which avoids the problems and limitations commonly encountered with traditional drug-loaded nanocarriers in which drugs are just physically entrapped (e.g., burst release, poor drug loadings). In the past few years, reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) techniques have been extensively used to design tailor-made polymer prodrug nanocarriers. This synthesis strategy has received a lot of attention due to the possibility of fine tuning their structural parameters (e.g., polymer nature and macromolecular characteristics, linker nature, physico-chemical properties, functionalization, etc.), to achieve optimized drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. In particular, adjusting the nature of the drug-polymer linker has enabled the easy synthesis of stimuli-responsive polymer prodrugs for efficient spatiotemporal drug release. In this context, this review article will give an overview of the different stimuli-sensitive polymer prodrug structures designed by RDRP techniques, with a strong focus on the synthesis strategies, the macromolecular architectures and in particular the drug-polymer linker, which governs the drug release kinetics and eventually the therapeutic effect. Their biological evaluations will also be discussed.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has witnessed significant advancements in recent years due to its specific properties. Its association with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has also garnered increased attention due to its mutually reinforcing effects. However, achieving further enhancement of the CDT/PDT efficacy remains a major challenge. In this study, we have developed an integrated nanosystem comprising a Fenton catalyst and multifunctional photosensitizers to achieve triply enhanced CDT/PDT through photothermal effects, H2O2 elevation, and GSH consumption. We prepared nano-ZIF-8 vesicles as carriers to encapsulate ferrocene-(phenylboronic acid pinacol ester) conjugates (Fc-BE) and photosensitizers IR825. Subsequently, cinnamaldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-CA) was coated onto ZIF-8 through metal coordination interactions, resulting in the formation of active targeting nanoparticles (NPs@Fc-BE&IR825). Upon cellular internalization mediated by CD44 receptors, HA-CA elevated H2O2 levels, while released Fc-BE consumed GSH and catalyzed H2O2 to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Furthermore, NIR irradiation led to increased ·OH production and the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2), accompanied by a greater GSH consumption. This accelerated and strengthened amplification of oxidative stress can be harnessed to develop highly effective CDT/PDT nanoagents.

Abstract
Release of ferulic acid from surface-functionalized hollow nanoporous silica particles (HNSPs) was investigated in deionized water (DI water) and in ethanol. The host material, an HNSP, was synthesized in the presence of polymer and surfactant templates, and the pore as well as the surface were modified with either pentyltriethoxysilane (PTS) or octyltriethoxysilane (OTS) through silane coupling reactions. The inner hollow space occupied a volume of ~45% of the whole HNSP with a 2.54 nm pore channel in the wall. The pore size was estimated to decrease to 1.5 nm and 0.5 nm via the PTS and OTS functionalization, respectively. The encapsulation efficiencies of the HNSP (25 wt%), PTS-functionalized HNSP (PTS-HNSP, 22 wt%) and OTS-functionalized HNSP (OST-HNSP, 25 wt%) toward ferulic acid were similar, while the %release in DI water and ethanol varied following HNSP > PTS-HNSP > OTS-HNSP. Release kinetic analyses with Korsmeyer-Peppas fitting suggested a trade-off relationship between the solvent's ability to access the HNSP and the affinity of ferulic acid to the surface, allowing us to understand the solvent's controlled release rate and mechanism.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems (DDSs) show great application prospects in tumor therapy. So far, physical encapsulation and covalent grafting were the two most common strategies for the construction of DDSs. However, physical encapsulation-based DDSs usually suffered from low drug loading capacity and poor stability, and covalent grafting-based DDSs might reduce the activity of original drug, which greatly limited their clinical application. Therefore, it is of great research value to design a new DDS with high drug loading capacity, robust stability, and original drug activity. Herein, we report a super-amphiphile based drug delivery system (HBS-DDS) through self-assembly induced by hydrogen bonds between amino-substituted N-heterocycles of the 1,3,5-triazines and hydrophilic carmofur (HCFU). The resulting HBS-DDS had a high drug loading capacity (38.1%) and robust stability. In addition, the drug delivery system exhibited pH-triggered size change and release of drugs because of the pH responsiveness of hydrogen bonds. In particular, the anticancer ability test showed that the HBS-DDS could be efficiently ingested by tumor cells, and its half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 = 3.53 μg mL-1) for HeLa cells was close to that of free HCFU (IC50 = 5.54 μg mL-1). The hydrogen bond-based DDS represents a potential drug delivery system in tumor therapy.

Abstract
Photoactivated therapeutic strategies (photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy), due to the adjusted therapeutic area, time and light dosage, have prevailed for the fight against tumors. Currently, the monotherapy with limited treatment effect and undesired side effects is gradually replaced by multimodal and multifunctional nanosystems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with unique physicochemical advantages, such as huge specific surface area, controllable pore size and morphology, functionalized modification, satisfying biocompatibility and biodegradability, are considered as promising candidates for multimodal photoactivated cancer therapy. Excitingly, the innovative nanoplatforms based on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles provide more and more effective treatment strategies and display excellent antitumor potential. Given the rapid development of antitumor strategies based on MSNs, this review summarizes the current progress in MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy, mainly consists of (1) photothermal therapy-related theranostics; (2) photodynamic therapy-related theranostics; (3) multimodal synergistic therapy, such as chemo-photothermal-photodynamic therapy, phototherapy-immunotherapy and phototherapy-radio therapy. Based on the limited penetration of irradiation light in photoactivated therapy, the challenges faced by deep-seated tumor therapy are fully discussed, and future clinical translation of MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to high genetic diversities of tumor cells and low response rate of standard chemotherapy, patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) have short progression-free survivals and poor outcomes, which need to explore an effective approach to improve therapeutic efficacy. METHODS Novel gadolinium doped carbon dots (Gd@CDs) have been designed and prepared through hydrothermal method with 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid, 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine) and gadolinium chloride. The synthesized nanostructures were characterized. Taking advantage of good biocompatibility of Gd@CDs, a nanoplatform based on Gd@CDs has been developed to co-deliver chemotherapy drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox) and a near-infrared (NIR) photothermal agent, IR825 for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided photothermal chemotherapy for TNBC. RESULTS The as-synthesized Dox@IR825@Gd@CDs displayed favorable MRI ability in vivo. Upon NIR laser irradiation, Dox@IR825@Gd@CDs could convert the NIR light to heat and efficiently inhibit tumor growth through photothermal chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the impact of photothermal chemotherapy on the murine motor coordination was assessed by rotarod test. Dox@IR825@Gd@CDs presented low toxicity and high photothermal chemotherapy efficiency. CONCLUSION A noble theranostic nanoplatform (Dox@IR825@Gd@CDs) was developed that could be tailored to achieve loading of Dox and IR825, intracellular delivery, favorable MRI, excellent combination therapy with photothermal therapy and chemotherapy to enhance therapeutic effect against TNBC cells. This study will provide a promising strategy for the development of Gd-based nanomaterials for MRI and combinational therapy for TNBC.

Abstract
Responsive polymer brushes are a category of polymer brushes that are capable of conformational and chemical changes in response to external stimuli. They offer unique opportunities for the control of bio-nano interactions due to the precise control of chemical and structural parameters such as the brush thickness, density, chemistry, and architecture. The design of responsive brushes at the surface of nanomaterials for theranostic applications has developed rapidly. These coatings can be generated from a very broad range of nanomaterials, without compromising their physical, photophysical, and imaging properties. Although the use of responsive brushes for nanotheranostic remains in its early stages, in this review, the aim is to present how the systems developed to date can be combined to control sensing, imaging, and controlled delivery of therapeutics. The recent developments for such design and associated methods for the synthesis of responsive brushes are discussed. The responsive behaviors of homo polymer brushes and brushes with more complex architectures are briefly reviewed, before the applications of responsive brushes as smart delivery systems are discussed. Finally, the recent work is summarized on the use of responsive polymer brushes as novel biosensors and diagnostic tools for the detection of analytes and biomarkers.

Abstract
The tumor-specific targeting of chemotherapeutic agents for specific necrosis of cancer cells without affecting the normal cells poses a great challenge for researchers and scientists. Though extensive research has been carried out to investigate chemotherapy-based targeted drug delivery, the identification of the most promising strategy capable of bypassing non-specific cytotoxicity is still a major concern. Recent advancements in the arena of onco-targeted therapies have enabled safe and effective tumor-specific localization through stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. Owing to their promising characteristic features, stimuli-responsive drug delivery platforms have revolutionized the chemotherapy-based treatments with added benefits of enhanced bioavailability and selective cytotoxicity of cancer cells compared to the conventional modalities. The insensitivity of stimuli-responsive drug delivery platforms when exposed to normal cells prevents the release of cytotoxic drugs into the normal cells and therefore alleviates the off-target events associated with chemotherapy. Contrastingly, they showed amplified sensitivity and triggered release of chemotherapeutic payload when internalized into the tumor microenvironment causing maximum cytotoxic responses and the induction of cancer cell necrosis. This review focuses on the physical stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems and chemical stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for triggered cancer chemotherapy through active and/or passive targeting. Moreover, the review also provided a brief insight into the molecular dynamic simulations associated with stimuli-based tumor targeting.

Abstract
Small-molecule subcellular organelle-targeting theranostic probes are crucial for early disease diagnosis and treatment. The imaging window of these molecules is mainly focused on the visible and near-infrared region (below ∼900 nm) which limits the tissue penetration depth and therapeutic effects. Herein, a novel NIR-II small-molecule probe H4–PEG-Glu with a thiopyrylium cation was synthesized. H4–PEG-Glu not only can quickly and effectively image mitochondria in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, and induce G0/G1 phase arrest by the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis pathway w/o irradiation, but also exhibit moderate cytotoxicity against AML cancer cells in a dose dependent-manner without laser irradiation. The THP-1 cells treated with H4–PEG-Glu upon NIR laser irradiation showed enhanced chemo- and photothermal therapy (CPTT) with 93.07% ± 6.43 apoptosis by Annexin V staining. Meanwhile, H4–PEG-Glu displayed high synergistic CPTT effects in vivo, as well as specific NIR-II tumor imaging in AML patient derived PDX mouse models for the first time. Our work lays down a solid foundation for designing small-molecule NIR-II mitochondria-selective theranostic probes. Small-molecule subcellular organelle-targeting theranostic probes are crucial for early disease diagnosis and treatment.![]()

Abstract
The quest for advanced management tools or options of various cancers has been on the rise to efficiently reduce their risks of mortality without the demerits of conventional treatments (e.g., undesirable side effects of the medications on non-target tissues, non-targeted distribution, slow clearance of the administered drugs, and the development of drug resistance over the duration of therapy). In this context, nanomaterials-antibody conjugates can offer numerous advantages in the development of cancer theranostics over conventional delivery systems (e.g., highly specific and enhanced biodistribution of the drug in targeted tissues, prolonged systemic circulation, low toxicity, and minimally invasive molecular imaging). This review comprehensively discusses and evaluates recent advances in the application of nanomaterial-antibody bioconjugates for cancer theranostics for the further advancement in the control of diverse cancerous diseases. Further, discussion is expanded to cover the various challenges and limitations associated with the design and development of nanomaterial-antibody conjugates applicable towards better management of cancer.

Abstract
Cancer treatment has always been a big problem for people. With the application of photodynamic therapy, the problem has been alleviated. However, the problem of tumor hypoxia affecting photodynamic therapy has been waiting to be resolved. Therefore, we report here that a redox nanocarrier (called RN) is prepared by hollow mesoporous silica sphere (HMSNs) and a redox-responsive polymer ligand. The nanocarrier is loaded with metformin and catalase, and the polymer is linked to the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6). Metformin inhibits the mitochondrial respiration of cancer cells, reducing the activity of cancer cells and increasing the oxygen concentration required for photodynamic therapy. Not only the effect of photodynamic therapy is enhanced, but also the effect of chemotherapy is increased to achieve super additive treatment. These RNs exhibit not only low cytotoxicity but also high biocompatibility in vitro experiments. In vitro Ce6 release studies have shown a higher release in the presence of glutathione (GSH). Confocal microscopy can further indicate that the nanoparticles are carried to the area around the nucleus of the cancer cells. In addition, treatment with a mouse tumor model demonstrated that RN has an effective therapeutic effect on tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is one of the major causes of death and is difficult to cure using existing clinical therapies. Clinical cancer treatments [such as surgery, chemotherapy (CHT), radiotherapy (RT) and immunotherapy (IT)] are widely used but they have limited therapeutic effects and unavoidable side effects. Recently, the development of novel nanomaterials offers a platform for combinational therapy (meaning a combination of two or more therapeutic agents) which is a promising approach for cancer therapy. Recent studies have demonstrated several types of nanomaterials suitable for photothermal therapy (PTT) based on a near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive system. PTT possesses favorable properties such as being low in cost, and having high temporospatial control with minimal invasiveness. However, short NIR light penetration depth limits its functions. METHODS In this review, due to their promise, we focus on inorganic nanomaterials [such as hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs), tungsten sulfide quantum dots (WS2QDs), and gold nanorods (AuNRs)] combining PTT with CHT, RT or IT in one treatment, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of PTT-based combinational cancer therapy. RESULTS This review found much evidence for the use of inorganic nanoparticles for PTT-based combinational cancer therapy. CONCLUSION Under synergistic effects, inorganic nanomaterial-based combinational treatments exhibit enhanced therapeutic effects compared to PTT, CHT, RT, IT or PDT alone and should be further investigated in the cancer field.

Abstract
Developing technologies that allow the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of cancer (theragnostic) has been the quest of numerous interdisciplinary research teams. In this context, nanomaterials incorporating prototypic near infrared (NIR)-light responsive heptamethine cyanines have been showing very promising results for cancer theragnostic. The precisely engineered features of these nanomaterials endow them with the ability to achieve a high tumor accumulation, enabling a tumor's visualization by NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging modalities. Upon interaction with NIR light, the tumor-homed heptamethine cyanine-incorporating nanomaterials can also produce a photothermal/photodynamic effect with a high spatio-temporal resolution and minimal side effects, leading to an improved therapeutic outcome. This progress report analyses the application of nanomaterials incorporating prototypic NIR-light responsive heptamethine cyanines (IR775, IR780, IR783, IR797, IR806, IR808, IR820, IR825, IRDye 800CW, and Cypate) for cancer photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and imaging. Overall, the continuous development of nanomaterials incorporating the prototypic NIR absorbing heptamethine cyanines will cement their phototheragnostic capabilities.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy for cancer treatment is usually compromised by shortcomings such as insufficient therapeutic outcome and undesired side effects. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of combination therapy by integrating chemotherapy with hyperthermia for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated photothermal therapy, which has advantages such as great capacity of heat ablation and minimally invasive manner, has emerged as a powerful approach for cancer treatment. A variety of nanomaterials absorbing NIR light to generate heat have been developed to simultaneously act as carriers for chemotherapeutic drugs, contributing as heat trigger for drug release and/or inducing hyperthermia for synergistic effects. This review aims to summarize the recent development of advanced nanomaterials in chemo-photothermal combination therapy, including metal-, carbon-based nanomaterials and particularly organic nanomaterials. The potential challenges and perspectives for the future development of nanomaterials-based chemo-photothermal therapy were also discussed.

Abstract
Magnetic microrobots can be actuated in fuel-free conditions and are envisioned for biomedical applications related to targeted delivery and therapy in a minimally invasive manner. However, mass fabrication of microrobots with precise propulsion performance and excellent therapeutic efficacy is still challenging, especially in a predictable and controllable manner. Herein, we propose a facile technique for mass production of magnetic microrobots with multiple functions using Spirulina ( Sp.) as biotemplate. Core-shell-structured Pd@Au nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in Sp. cells by electroless deposition, working as photothermal conversion agents. Subsequently, the Fe3O4 NPs were deposited onto the surface of the obtained (Pd@Au)@ Sp. particles via a sol-gel process, enabling them to be magnetically actuated. Moreover, the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded on the (Pd@Au)/Fe3O4@ Sp. microrobots, which endows them with additional chemotherapeutic efficacy. The as-prepared biohybrid (Pd@Au)/Fe3O4@ Sp.-DOX microrobots not only possess efficient propulsion performance with the highest speed of 526.2 μm/s under a rotating magnetic field but also have enhanced synergistic chemo-photothermal therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, they can be structurally disassembled into individual particles under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation and exhibit pH- and NIR-triggered drug release. These intriguing properties enable the microrobots to be a very promising and efficient platform for drug loading, targeted delivery, and chemo-photothermal therapy.

Herein a versatile, biodegradable, hollow mesoporous organosilica nanocapsule (HMONs) nanoplatform that is capped by the gemcitabine (Gem) molecule through a pH-sensitive acetal covalent bond is designed. The fabricated nanocapsule exhibits desirable small molecule release at the tumor tissues/cell sites and shows a reduced risk for drug accumulation. After loading indocyanine green (ICG), the heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp 90) inhibitor, and 17AAG and modification with polyethylene glycol (NH2-PEG), the resulting ICG-17AAG@HMONs-Gem-PEG exhibited a precisely controlled release of ICG and 17AAG and low-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) (∼41 °C) with excellent tumor destruction efficacy. In addition, ICG loading conferred the nanoplatform with near-infrared fluorescence imaging (FL) and photoaccoustic (PA) imaging capability. In short, this work not only presents a smart drug self-controlled nanoplatform with pH-responsive payload release and theranostic performance but also provides an outstanding low-temperature PTT strategy, which is highly valid in the inhibition of cancer cells with minimal damage to the organism. Therefore, this research provides a paradigm that has a chemodrug-gated HMONs-based theranostic nanoplatform with intrinsic biodegradability, multimodal imaging capacity, high low-temperature PTT/chemotherapy efficacy, and reduced systemic toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbon-based drug delivery systems have attracted great interest because of their excellent photothermal conversion capability and high specific surface area for drug loading. Herein, we report a multifunctional nanoplatform based on hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified and graphene quantum dot (GQD)-gated hollow mesoporous carbon nanoparticle (HMCN) for anticancer drug encapsulation and targeted chemo-photothermal therapy of CD44 receptor-overexpressed cancer cells. METHODS In this design, HMCN was not only used as a nanocarrier with high drug loading content to achieve chemotherapy, but also as a near-infrared absorbing agent to realize photothermal therapy. GQDs could not only prevent premature drug release during blood circulation, but also enhance the chemo-photothermal therapeutic efficacy for complete tumor growth suppression. After being modified with HA, the HA-HMCN(DOX)@GQDs could specifically target cancer cells. RESULTS As expected, the as-prepared HMCN exhibited high doxorubicin (DOX)-loading capacity of 410 mg/g and excellent light-to-heat conversion property. The DOX was released from HA-HMCN(DOX)@GQDs in a near-infrared laser and pH stimuli-responsive manner, which could enhance the therapeutic effect. In vitro cell biological experimental results confirmed that the nanoplatform possesses excellent biocompatibility, specifically target CD44 receptor-overexpressing human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells, and has remarkable synergistic chemo-photothermal killing capacity. The in vivo therapeutic studies in HeLa xenografts also showed negligible toxicity of HA-HMCN@GQDs and complete inhibition of tumor growth of HA-HMCN(DOX) @GQDs with near-infrared irradiation. CONCLUSION The excellent therapeutic effects demonstrated in vitro and in vivo suggested the HMCN-based nanoplatform holds potential for efficient dual-responsive targeting drug delivery and synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Achieving controlled and targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and other therapeutic agents to tumor sites is challenging. Among many stimulus strategies, light as a mode of action shows various advantages such as high spatiotemporal selectivity, minimal invasiveness and easy operation. Thus, drug delivery systems (DDSs) have been designed with the incorporation of various functionalities responsive to light as an exogenous stimulus. Early development has focused on guiding chemotherapeutic drugs to designated location, followed by the utilization of UV irradiation for controlled drug release. Because of the disadvantages of UV light such as phototoxicity and limited tissue penetration depth, scientists have moved the research focus onto developing nanoparticle systems responsive to light in the visible region (400-700 nm), aiming to reduce the phototoxicity. In order to enhance the tissue penetration depth, near-infrared light triggered DDSs become increasingly important. In addition, light-based advanced systems for fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging, as well as photodynamic and photothermal therapy have also been reported. Herein, we highlight some of recent developments by applying light-responsive systems in cancer theranostics, including light activated drug release, photodynamic and photothermal therapy, and bioimaging techniques such as fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging. Future prospect of light-mediated cancer treatment is discussed at the end of the review. This Spotlights on Applications article aims to provide up-to-date information about the rapidly developing field of light-based cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Achieving an integrated system for combinational therapy of cancer with enhanced efficacy is always a challenge. A multifunctional system (CCeT nanoparticles (NPs)) for a synergistic photodynamic and photothermal cancer therapy was successfully developed. This system is composed of Cu2- xS nanoclusters functionalized with chlorin e6 (Ce6)-conjugated branched polyethylenimine (PEI-Ce6) and mitochondria-targeting 3-(carboxypropyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (TPP-COOH). The colocalization of the resulted CCeT NPs inside the mitochondria of cancer cells was proven. The CCeT NPs exhibited significant photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy due to efficient singlet oxygen (1O2) generation triggered by a 630 nm laser. This system also showed excellent photothermal conversion capability upon the irradiation of 808 nm laser for photothermal therapy (PTT). In particular, the platform achieved nearly 100% inhibitory rate of the tumor growth in vivo through combinational PDT and PTT. Thus, the CCeT NPs could efficiently inhibit the tumor growth in vitro and in vivo by combinational PDT and PTT, offering synergistic therapeutic efficiency as compared to PTT or PDT alone.

Abstract
In this study, a reduction-sensitive supramolecular polymeric drug delivery system was developed for combinational photothermal-chemotherapy of cancer. The multifunctional system was self-assembled by specific host-guest interactions between hydrophilic β-cyclodextrin functionalized hyaluronic acid and adamantane linked camptothecin/dye conjugate, where a near-infrared (NIR) absorbing dye IR825 was loaded. The hydrophilic hyaluronic acid shell endows the assembly with excellent colloidal stability and biocompatibility. The embedded disulfide bond in the camptothecin/dye conjugate was cleaved under reducing environment, leading to the release of the conjugated drug and the recovery of fluorescence emission. Meanwhile, the dye IR825 could efficiently transfer the absorbed light into local heat, making the nanoplatform an effective system for photothermal therapy. As evident by confocal microscopy images, the nanoplatform was quickly internalized by HeLa, MCF-7, and U14 cancer cells and released drug molecules inside the cells. In vitro cell viability assays confirmed that the cancer cells were efficiently killed by the treatment of the nanoplatform under NIR light irradiation. Significant tumor regression was also observed in the tumor-bearing mice upon the administration of the nanoplatform through combinational photothermal-chemotherapy therapy. Hence, this nanoplatform presented a great potential in site-specific combined photothermal-chemotherapy of tumor.

Abstract
Developing biocompatible and photodegradable photothermal agents (PTAs) holds great promise for potential clinical applications in photothermal cancer therapy. Herein, a new PTA was innovatively constructed by conjugating the hydrophobic near-infrared (NIR) heptamethine cyanine molecule IR825-NH2 with a double hydrophilic block copolymer methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)5k-block-poly(l-aspartic acid sodium salt)10 (abbreviated as PEG-PLD) via amine-carboxyl reaction. The as-designed PEG-PLD(IR825) was amphiphilic and could self-assemble into polymeric nanomicelles in aqueous solutions. Benefiting from the chemical conjugation strategy, PEG-PLD(IR825) nanomicelles realized a considerably high drug loading rate (∼21.0%) and substantially avoided the premature release of IR825 during systemic circulation. Confocal imaging revealed that the nanomicelles mainly located at mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum after cellular internalization. In vitro photothermal therapy demonstrated the excellent cancer killing efficiency of PEG-PLD(IR825) nanomicelles due to their high light-to-heat conversion efficiency upon NIR laser irradiation. In addition, PEG-PLD(IR825) nanomicelles showed polarity-sensitive fluorescence at ∼610 nm (under 552 nm excitation) and 830 nm (under 780 nm excitation), which was especially useful for both in vitro visible fluorescence imaging and in vivo near-infrared fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT). At the in vivo level, PEG-PLD(IR825) nanomicelles exhibited an excellent tumor-homing ability and a long retention time in tumor tissues as evidenced by the in vivo fluorescence imaging results. The desirable properties of PEG-PLD(IR825) nanomicelles ensured their effective tumor ablation during PTT treatment. More importantly, the PEG-PLD(IR825) nanomicelles underwent degradation after laser irradiation, which ensured their post-treatment biosafety. Therefore, the nanomicelles are promising to serve as an efficient and safe PTA for imaging-guided photothermal cancer therapy.

Abstract
For better removal of excessive free radicals and harmful bacteria from the human body, the development of synergistic antioxidant and antibacterial agents is urgently required. Herein, we designed novel temperature-sensitive, curcumin (Cur)-loaded nanogels for the application of scavenging reactive oxygen species and killing pathogenic bacteria. Photothermal sterilization, different from traditional antibiotics, is a promising and effective treatment for pathogenic bacterial infection. The nanogels were fabricated by using poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (a temperature-sensitive hydrogel) to encapsulate poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanoparticles (photothermal agents) and Cur through a reformative precipitation polymerization. When triggered by near-IR light, the Cur-loaded nanogels exhibited high (56.8 %), and excellent temperature-sensitive effects. Moreover, the light-induced temperature increase can also weaken the interaction between the networks of PNIPAAm and Cur, to show excellent antioxidant and antibacterial performance (90 % cell death) of the nanogels.

Abstract
The integration of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a single delivery system is highly desirable for enhancing anticancer therapeutic efficacy. Herein, two cyclometalated Ir(III) complex-constructed micelles FIr-1 and FIr-2 were demonstrated for glutathione (GSH) activated targeted chemotherapy and PDT. The cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes were prepared by conjugating phosphorescent Ir(III) compounds with chemotherapeutic drug camptothecin (CPT) through GSH responsive disulfide bond linkages, and the Ir(III) complexes were then assembled with amphiphilic surfactant pluronic F127 via noncovalent encapsulation to afford micelles. The surfaces of the micelles were further decorated with folic acid as a targeting group. The micelles showed intense fluorescence that renders them with excellent real-time imaging capability. The release of free anticancer drug CPT from the micelles was realized through GSH-activated disulfide bond cleavage in tumor cells. In addition, the micelles were capable of generating singlet oxygen used for PDT upon visible light irradiation. On account of having folic acid targeting ligand, the micelles displayed greater cellular accumulation in folate receptor (FR) overexpressed HeLa cells than FR low-expressed MCF-7 cells, leading to selective cancer cell killing effect. As compared with solo therapeutic systems, the micelles with targeted combinational chemotherapy and PDT presented superior potency and efficacy in killing tumor cells at a low dosage. On the basis of these findings, the multifunctional micelles could serve as a versatile theranostic nanoplatform for cancer cell targeted imaging and combinational therapy.

Photothermal and biodegradable polyaniline/porous silicon hybrid nanocomposites as drug carriers for combined chemo-photothermal therapy of cancer. Acta Biomater 2017; 51:197-208.

Abstract
To develop photothermal and biodegradable nanocarriers for combined chemo-photothermal therapy of cancer, polyaniline/porous silicon hybrid nanocomposites had been successfully fabricated via surface initiated polymerization of aniline onto porous silicon nanoparticles in our experiments. As-prepared polyaniline/porous silicon nanocomposites could be well dispersed in aqueous solution without any extra hydrophilic surface coatings, and showed a robust photothermal effect under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Especially, after an intravenous injection into mice, these biodegradable porous silicon-based nanocomposites as non-toxic agents could be completely cleared in body. Moreover, these polyaniline/porous silicon nanocomposites as drug carriers also exhibited an efficient loading and dual pH/NIR light-triggered release of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX, a model anticancer drug). Most importantly, assisted with NIR laser irradiation, polyaniline/PSiNPs nanocomposites with loading DOX showed a remarkable synergistic anticancer effect combining chemotherapy with photothermal therapy, whether in vitro or in vivo. Therefore, based on biodegradable PSiNPs-based nanocomposites, this combination approach of chemo-photothermal therapy would have enormous potential on clinical cancer treatments in the future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Considering the non-biodegradable nature and potential long-term toxicity concerns of photothermal nanoagents, it is of great interest and importance to develop biodegradable and photothermal nanoparticles with an excellent biocompatibility for their future clinical applications. In our experiments, we fabricated porous silicon-based hybrid nanocomposites via surface initiated polymerization of aniline, which showed an excellent photothermal effect, aqueous dispersibility, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Furthermore, after an efficient loading of DOX molecules, polyaniline/porous silicon nanocomposites exhibited the remarkable synergistic anticancer effect, whether in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Smart nanoparticles are increasingly important in a variety of applications such as cancer therapy. However, it is still a major challenge to develop light-responsive nanoparticles that can maximize the potency of synergistic thermo-chemotherapy under light irradiation. Here, spatially confined cyanine-anchored silica nanochannels loaded with chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (CS-DOX-NCs) for light-driven synergistic cancer therapy are introduced. CS-DOX-NCs possess a J-type aggregation conformation of cyanine dye within the nanochannels and encapsulate doxorubicin through the π-π interaction with cyanine dye. Under near-infrared light irradiation, CS-DOX-NCs produce the enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency through the maximized nonradiative transition of J-type Cypate aggregates, trigger the light-driven drug release through the destabilization of temperature-sensitive π-π interaction, and generate the effective intracellular translocation of doxorubicin from the lysosomes to cytoplasma through reactive oxygen species-mediated lysosomal disruption, thereby causing the potent in vivo hyperthermia and intracellular trafficking of drug into cytoplasma at tumors. Moreover, CS-DOX-NCs possess good resistance to photobleaching and preferable tumor accumulation, facilitating severe photoinduced cell damage, and subsequent synergy between photothermal and chemotherapeutic therapy with tumor ablation. These findings provide new insights of light-driven nanoparticles for synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
A tumor targeting redox-responsive drug delivery system (DDS) with bioactive surface was constructed by immobilizing peptide-based amphiphile C12-CGRKKRRQRRRPPQRGDS (defined as ADDA-TCPP) onto the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as an end-capping nanovalve, which consists of two main segments: a hydrophobic alkyl chain ADDA and a hydrophilic amino acid sequence containing a Tat48-60 peptide sequence with a thiol terminal group and an RGDS targeting ligand, via a disulfide linkage for redox-triggered intracellular drug delivery. A series of characterizations confirmed that the nanosystem had been successfully fabricated. The antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) was selected as a model drug and efficiently trapped in the pores of MSNs, and an in vitro release experiment demonstrated that the mesopores of the resulting DOX-loaded MSNs (DOX@MSN-ss-ADDA-TCPP) could be sealed tightly with ADDA-TCPP self-assemblies through hydrophobic interactions between the alkyl chains; the resulting DDS exhibited "zero premature release" of DOX in the physical environment. However, a burst drug release was triggered by a high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in simulated cellular cytosol. Moreover, detailed investigations confirmed that incorporation of RGDS peptide facilitated the active targeting delivery of DOX to αvβ3 integrin overexpressed tumor cells, and Tat48-60 modification on MSNs could enhance intracellular drug delivery, exhibiting an obvious toxicity to tumor cells. The multifunctional nanosystem constructed here can realize the controlled drug release and serve as a platform for designing multifunctional nanocarriers using diversified bioactive peptide-based amphiphile.

Abstract
In this study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been successfully capped with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) to form multifunctional GQD-MSNs with the potential for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy. The structure, drug-release behavior, photothermal effect, and synergistic therapeutic efficiency of GQD-MSNs to 4T1 breast cancer cells were investigated. The results showed that GQD-MSNs were monodisperse and had a particle size of 50-60 nm. Using doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) as a model drug, the DOX-loaded GQD-MSNs (DOX-GQD-MSNs) not only exhibited pH- and temperature-responsive drug-release behavior, but using near-infrared irradiation, they efficiently generated heat to kill cancer cells. Furthermore, GQD-MSNs were biocompatible and were internalized by 4T1 cells. Compared with chemotherapy and photothermal therapy alone, DOX-GQD-MSNs were much more effective in killing the 4T1 cells owing to a synergistic chemo-photothermal effect. Therefore, GQD-MSNs may have promising applications in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have revolutionized medical research over the last decade. One notable emerging area of nanomedicine is research developments in the reproductive sciences. Since increasing evidence indicates links between abnormal gene expression and previously unexplained states of infertility, there is a strong impetus to develop tools, such as nanoparticle platforms, to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying such states. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) represent a powerful and safe delivery tool for molecular and genetic investigations. Nevertheless, ongoing progress is restricted by low efficiency and unpredictable control of cargo delivery. Here, we describe for the first time, the development of a laser-activated MSNP system with heat-responsive cargo. Data derived from human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T) indicate that when driven by a heat-shock promoter, MSNP cargo exhibits a significantly increased expression following infrared laser stimulus to stimulate a heat-shock response, without adverse cytotoxic effects. This delivery platform, with increased efficiency and the ability to impart spatial and temporal control, is highly useful for molecular and genetic investigations. We envision that this straightforward stimuli-responsive system could play a significant role in developing efficient nanodevices for research applications, for example in reproductive medicine.
