Abstract
Mussel refers to a marine organism with strong adhesive properties, and it secretes mussel adhesion protein (MAP). The most vital feature of MAP is the abundance of the 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) group and lysine, which have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cell adhesion-promoting properties and can accelerate wound healing. Polydopamine (PDA) is currently the most widely used mussel-inspired material characterized by good adhesion, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. It can mediate various interactions to form functional coatings on cell-material surfaces. Nanofibers based on MAP and mussel-inspired materials have been exerting a vital role in wound repair, while there is no comprehensive review presenting them. This Review introduces the structure of MAPs and their adhesion mechanisms and mussel-inspired materials. Second, it introduces the functionalized modification of MAPs and their inspired materials in electrospun nanofibers and application in wound repair. Finally, the future development direction and coping strategies of MAP and mussel-inspired materials are discussed. Moreover, this Review can offer novel strategies for the application of nanofibers in wound repair and bring about new breakthroughs and innovations in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) display good potential in tumor photothermal therapy (PTT). In this study, it is aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of nano-titanium oxide-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) against colorectal cancer (CRC). First, TiO2 nanosheets are modified on the surface of MCNTs to obtain nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs. Next, cell compatibility validation is conducted on nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs, and it is found that nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs are safe within a certain concentration range (0-200 µg mL⁻1). Interestingly, nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs display a good killing effect in CRC cells under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Subsequently, nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs markedly promote the proapoptotic effects of NIR laser irradiation and significantly inhibit the expression of cell cycle proteins CCNA1 and CCND1 in CRC cells under NIR laser irradiation, which indicates that nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs exert anti-CRC effects under NIR laser irradiation by regulating cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Furthermore, nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs accelerate inhibitory effects on the AKT signaling pathway under NIR laser irradiation. Finally, a cell line-derived xenograft model is established, and the results showed that nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs significantly exhibit superior tumor-killing ability under NIR laser irradiation in vivo. Collectively, these results demonstrate that nano-TiO2-coated MCNTs with NIR laser irradiation may serve as an effective strategy for the treatment of CRC.

Abstract
We report a simple and efficient synthetic method for polydopamine (PDA)-coated solid silica nanoparticles (s-SiO2@PDA NPs) encapsulating anionic near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dyes through physical adsorption. Despite the use of anionic NIR fluorescent dyes indocyanine green (ICG) and 2-[2-[2-chloro-3-[2-[1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl)-2H-indol-2-ylidene]-ethylidene]-1-cyclohexen-1-yl]-ethenyl]-3,3-dimethyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl)-3H-indolium (IR-783), they were successfully immobilized on anionic s-SiO2@PDA NP surfaces under acidic aqueous conditions. After embedding in the s-SiO2@PDA NPs, the fluorescence of ICG was almost quenched, while a diminished IR-783 fluorescence remained observable. The fluorescence intensity of IR-783 embedded in s-SiO2@PDA NPs remained almost constant over 2 weeks in a pseudobiological solution, with a slight reduction due to dye degradation and dye leakage from the s-SiO2@PDA NPs. Finally, the s-SiO2@PDA NPs encapsulating IR-783 were successfully used for NIR fluorescent imaging of African green monkey kidney cells.

Abstract
Large skin wounds are one of the most important health problems in the world. Skin wound repair and tissue regeneration are complex processes involving many physiological signals, and effective wound healing remains an enormous clinical challenge. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a strategy to rapidly kill bacteria, promote cell proliferation and accelerate wound healing. At present, electrical stimulation (ES) is often used in the clinical treatment of skin wounds and can simulate the endogenous biological current of the body and accelerate the repair process of skin wounds. However, a single ES strategy has difficulty covering the entire wound area, which may lead to unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. To overcome this deficiency, it is essential to develop a collaborative treatment strategy that combines ES with other treatments. In this study, gold nanoparticles and antibacterial peptides (Os) were loaded on the surface of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) material through the reducibility and adhesion of polydopamine (PDA) and improved the electrical activity, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and biocompatibility properties of the polymer material. At the same time, this composite membrane material (Os/Au-PDA@PLGA) combined with ES was used in wound therapy to improve the wound healing rate. The results show that the new wound repair material has good biocompatibility and can effectively promote cell proliferation and migration. Through the combined application of gold nanoparticles and antibacterial peptides Os, the polymer materials have more efficient bactericidal and antioxidant effects. The antibacterial experiment results showed that gold nanoparticles could further enhance the antibacterial activity of antibacterial peptides. Furthermore, the Os/Au-PDA@PLGA composite membrane has good hydrophilicity and electrical activity, which can provide a more favorable cell microenvironment for wound healing. In vivo studies using a full-thickness skin defect model in rats showed that the Os/Au-PDA@PLGA composite membrane had a better therapeutic effect than the pure PLGA material. More importantly, the combination of the Os/Au-PDA@PLGA composite with ES significantly accelerated the rate of vascularization and collagen deposition and promoted wound healing compared with non-ES controls. Therefore, the combination of the Au/Os-PDA@PLGA composite membrane with ES may provide a new strategy for the effective treatment of skin wounds.

Abstract
Due to the complexity of tumors, multimodal therapy for them has always been of concern to researchers. How to design a multifunctional drug nanoplatform with cascade effect and capable of responding to specific stimuli in the tumor microenvironment is the key to achieve efficient multimodal synergistic therapy of cancer. Here, we prepare a kind of GNRs@SiO2@PDA-CuO2-l-Arg (GSPRs-CL) nanomotors for systematic treatment of tumor. First, under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, GSPRs-CL can generate heat and exhibit excellent photothermal therapy effect. Then under acidic conditions, CuO2 can be decomposed to release Cu2+ and generate H2O2, which not only complemented the limited endogenous H2O2 in cells, but also further triggered Fenton-like reaction, converting H2O2 into •OH to kill cancer cells, thereby achieving chemodynamic therapy. Furthermore, both endogenous and exogenous H2O2 can release nitric oxide (NO) in response to the occurrence of l-Arg of nanomotors to enhance gas therapy. In addition, as a dual-mode drive, NIR laser and NO can promote the penetration ability of nanomotors at tumor sites. The experimental results in vivo show that the drug nanoplatform had good biosafety and significant tumor killing effect triggered by NIR light and acidic conditions of tumor. It provide a promising strategy for the development of advanced drug nanoplatform for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles for treatment in cancer are getting more and more attention recently. In this study, we employed a novel polydopamine (PDA) framework-based gold nanoparticles as a carrier of an antimetabolite drug, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). Folic acid (FA) was embellished onto the surface of nanoparticle imparting the nanosystem with remarkable tumor-targeting abilities through its precise binding with FA receptor that is notably overexpressed in breast cancer cells. PDA served as a photothermal treatment (PTT) agent and a gatekeeper to regulate drug release since it is highly pH-sensitive and might lengthen the residency period while simultaneously enhancing water solubility and biological compatibility of nanomaterials. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) end up serving as both a drug delivery platform and a source of substantial photothermal effects, culminating in synergistically coupled chemo-photothermal therapy. The PDA@Au@FA nanocomplex, loaded with 5-FU, is biocompatible, features strong NIR absorption and photothermal conversion, and can control drug release in pH/NIR dual response environment. The cell viability in PDA@Au@5-FU-FA group with NIR irradiation in 48 h was only 20.1 ± 2.6%. In addition, apoptosis staining experiments revealed greater cellular uptake of PDA@Au@5-FU-FA by MCF-7 cells. Therefore, PDA@Au@5-FU-FA nanocomplex that we postulated herein may be a potential contender for effective curative treatment for breast cancer.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy holds great promise in the treatment of hematological malignancies but performs poorly in solid tumors due to the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Herein, a multifunctional nanocatalyst (APHA@CM) was prepared by encapsulating horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-loaded Au/polydopamine nanoparticles (Au/PDA NPs) and Ag2S quantum dots with CAR T cell membranes to improve the CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors. The APHA@CM has excellent multimodal imaging capability to precisely guide the scope and time window for nanocatalyst-induced tumor microenvironment regulation and CAR T cell therapy. The oxidase-like activity of Au NPs inhibited the glycolytic metabolism of tumor cells, reducing lactate efflux, reprogramming tumor immunosuppression, and ultimately increasing CAR T cell activation within the tumors. Additionally, the hypoxia environment of tumors could be relieved by HRP to enhance the Au/PDA NPs-induced synergistic sonodynamic/photothermal therapy (SDT/PTT), thereby promoting the immunogenic cell death of NALM 6 cells and enhancing CAR T cell-mediated immune microenvironment reprogramming. When this strategy was utilized to treat NALM 6 solid tumors, it not only completely eliminated tumors but also formed a long-term immune memory effect to inhibit tumor metastasis and recurrence. This work offers a strategy for CAR T cell therapy in solid tumor.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanocomposites are of potential use to achieve complete tumor elimination and, thus, to avoid tumor recurrence. Herein, polydopamine (PDA)-based gold nanoblackbodies (AuNBs) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and Doxorubicin (DOX) termed as A-P-I-D nanocomposite were investigated for multimodal plasmonic photothermal-photodynamic-chemotherapy. Upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, A-P-I-D nanocomposite showed enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency of 69.2% compared to bare AuNBs (62.9%) due to the presence of ICG, along with ROS (1O2) generation as well as enhanced DOX release. On assessment of therapeutic effects on breast cancer (MCF-7) and melanoma (B16F10) cell lines, A-P-I-D nanocomposite showed significantly lower cell viabilities of 45.5% and 24% compared to 79.3% and 76.8% for AuNBs. Fluorescence images of stained cells revealed characteristic signs of apoptotic mode of cell death, with almost complete damage on A-P-I-D nanocomposite+NIR treated cells. Further, on evaluation of photothermal performance through breast tumor-tissue mimicking phantoms, A-P-I-D nanocomposite provided required thermal ablation temperatures within the tumor along with the potential for the elimination of residual cancerous cells through photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. Overall, this study demonstrates that A-P-I-D nanocomposite+NIR provides better therapeutic outcome on cell lines and enhanced photothermal performance on breast tumor-tissue mimicking phantoms to be a promising agent for multimodal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Due to its excellent bone conductivity and drug adsorption as well as pH-responsive drug release property, hydroxyapatite (HAp) is widely used as a drug carrier in bone repair field. Here, we report for the first time a novel multi-functional polydopamine (PDA) coated Cu/F-codoped HAp (Cu/F-HAp-PDA) hollow microspheres. Both Cu2+ and F- were successfully doped into the lattice of HAp and uniformly distributed in the shell of hollow microspheres through a one-step hydrothermal synthesis. Then PDA was coated homogeneously on the outer layer of Cu/F-HAp hollow microspheres. Both Cu/F-HAp and Cu/F-HAp-PDA samples displayed high drug loading efficiency and pH responsive drug release behavior. Moreover, the obtained Cu/F-HAp-PDA hollow microspheres exhibited excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and photothermal stability. The molecular dynamics simulations showed that PDA and HAp can form mutual binding mainly through Ca-O bonding, while doxorubicin (DOX) is mainly bound to PDA molecules through hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interaction.

Abstract
The clinical need for photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been growing for several decades. Notably, PDT is often used in oncology to treat a variety of tumors since it is a low-risk therapy with excellent selectivity, does not conflict with other therapies, and may be repeated as necessary. The mechanism of action of PDT is the photoactivation of a particular photosensitizer (PS) in a tumor microenvironment in the presence of oxygen. During PDT, cancer cells produce singlet oxygen (1O2) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon activation of PSs by irradiation, which efficiently kills the tumor. However, PDT's effectiveness in curing a deep-seated malignancy is constrained by three key reasons: a tumor's inadequate PS accumulation in tumor tissues, a hypoxic core with low oxygen content in solid tumors, and limited depth of light penetration. PDTs are therefore restricted to the management of thin and superficial cancers. With the development of nanotechnology, PDT's ability to penetrate deep tumor tissues and exert desired therapeutic effects has become a reality. However, further advancement in this field of research is necessary to address the challenges with PDT and ameliorate the therapeutic outcome. This review presents an overview of PSs, the mechanism of loading of PSs, nanomedicine-based solutions for enhancing PDT, and their biological applications including chemodynamic therapy, chemo-photodynamic therapy, PDT-electroporation, photodynamic-photothermal (PDT-PTT) therapy, and PDT-immunotherapy. Furthermore, the review discusses the mechanism of ROS generation in PDT advantages and challenges of PSs in PDT.

Abstract
Metal graphitic nanocapsules have the advantages of both graphitic and metal nanomaterials, showing great promise in biomedicine. On one hand, the chemically inert graphitic shells are able to protect the metal core from external environments, quench the fluorescence signal from the biological system, offer robust platform for targeted molecules or drugs loading, and act as stable Raman labels or internal standard molecule. On the other hand, the metal cores with different compositions, sizes, and morphologies show unique physicochemical properties, and further broaden their biomedical functions. In this review, we firstly introduce the preparation, classification, and properties of metal graphitic nanocapsules, then summarize the recent progress of their applications in biodetection, bioimaging, and therapy. Challenges and their development prospects in biomedicine are eventually discussed in detail. We expect the versatile metal graphitic nanocapsules will advance the development of future clinical biomedicine.

Abstract
This work reports on a novel polyester copolymer containing poly(dopamine), a synthetic analogue of natural melanin, evaluated in a sustained-release drug delivery system for ocular intravitreal administration of drugs. More specifically, a graft copolymer of poly(ε-caprolactone)-graft-poly(dopamine) (PCL-g-PDA) has been synthesized and was shown to further extend the drug release benefits of state-of-the-art biodegradable intravitreal implants composed of poly(lactide) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide). The innovative biomaterial combines the documented drug-binding properties of melanin naturally present in the eye, with the established ocular tolerability and biodegradation of polyester implants. The PCL-g-PDA copolymer was obtained by a two-step modification of PCL with a final PDA content of around 2-3 wt % and was fully characterized by size exclusion chromatography, NMR, and diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy. The thermoplastic nature of PCL-g-PDA allowed its simple processing by hot-melt compression molding to prepare small implants. The properties of unmodified PCL and PCL-g-PDA implants were studied and compared in terms of thermal properties (differential scanning calorimetry), thermal stability (thermogravimetry analysis), degradability, and in vitro cytotoxicity. PCL and PCL-g-PDA implants exhibited similar degradation properties in vitro and were both stable under physiological conditions over 110 days. Likewise, both materials were non-cytotoxic toward L929 and ARPE-19 cells. The drug loading and in vitro release properties of the new materials were investigated with dexamethasone (DEX) and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP) as representative drugs featuring low and high melanin-binding affinities, respectively. In comparison to unmodified PCL, PCL-g-PDA implants showed a significant extension of drug release, most likely because of specific drug-catechol interaction with the PDA moieties of the copolymer. The present study confirms the advantages of designing PDA-containing polyesters as a class of biodegradable and biocompatible thermoplastics that can modulate and remarkably extend the drug release kinetics thanks to their unique drug-binding properties, especially, but not limited to, for ocular applications.

Abstract
Aim: Gold nanoblackbodies (AuNBs)-mediated plasmonic photothermal cancer therapy was investigated through melanoma-bearing mice. Materials & methods: Polydopamine-coated Au nanoclusters were synthesized, termed AuNBs and PEGylated AuNBs (AuNBs-PEG). The photothermal response of AuNBs-PEG was evaluated upon low-intensity broadband near-infrared irradiation (785/62 nm; 0.9 Wcm-2), and cytotoxicity was assessed on B16-F10 cells. Further, the therapeutic potential of intravenously administered AuNBs-PEG was evaluated on B16-F10 melanoma in C57BL/6 mice. Results: AuNBs-PEG showed an excellent photothermal response (photothermal conversion efficiency of 60.3%), robust photothermal stability and no cytotoxicity. For AuNB-mediated plasmonic photothermal therapy, an average temperature of 63°C was attained within 5 min of irradiation, and tumors were eradicated. Conclusion: AuNBs-PEG are promising photothermal agents for treating melanoma through low-intensity broadband near-infrared irradiation.

Abstract
Glioma is characterized by high mortality and low postoperative survival. Despite the availability of various therapeutic approaches and molecular typing, the treatment failure rate and the recurrence rate of glioma remain high. Given the limitations of existing therapeutic tools, nanotechnology has emerged as an alternative treatment option. Nanoparticles, such as polydopamine (PDA)-based nanoparticles, are embodied with reliable biodegradability, efficient drug loading rate, relatively low toxicity, considerable biocompatibility, excellent adhesion properties, precisely targeted delivery, and strong photothermal conversion properties. Therefore, they can further enhance the therapeutic effects in patients with glioma. Moreover, polydopamine contains pyrocatechol, amino and carboxyl groups, active double bonds, catechol, and other reactive groups that can react with biofunctional molecules containing amino, aldehyde, or sulfhydryl groups (main including, self-polymerization, non-covalent self-assembly, π-π stacking, electrostatic attraction interaction, chelation, coating and covalent co-assembly), which form a reversible dynamic covalent Schiff base bond that is extremely sensitive to pH values. Meanwhile, PDA has excellent adhesion capability that can be further functionally modified. Consequently, the aim of this review is to summarize the application of PDA-based NPs in glioma and to acquire insight into the therapeutic effect of the drug-loaded PDA-based nanocarriers (PDA NPs). A wealthy understanding and argument of these sides is anticipated to afford a better approach to develop more reasonable and valid PDA-based cancer nano-drug delivery systems. Finally, we discuss the expectation for the prospective application of PDA in this sphere and some individual viewpoints.

Abstract
Nanosheet carriers loaded with drugs and phototherapeutics are used for effective cancer therapy, but the process remains challenging. Here, we prepared sulfur nanosheets (S-NSs) and then loaded tirapazamine (TPZ) and indocyanine green (ICG) with a loading efficiency of 6.3% and 94%, respectively. The obtained S-NSs-TPZ-ICG exhibits near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, high 1O2 generation and photothermal conversion capabilities, good biocompatibility, and tumor microenvironment responsiveness. In vivo and in vitro experiments reveal that S-NSs-TPZ-ICG can be selectively decomposed under acidic and H2O2 conditions to release TPZ and ICG, and significantly inhibit tumor growth under laser irradiation without obvious toxic side effects.

Abstract
Cell mechanical motion is a key physiological process that relies on the dynamics of actin filaments. Herein, a localized shear-force system based on gigahertz acoustic streaming (AS) is proposed, which can simultaneously realize intracellular delivery and cellular mechanical regulation. The results demonstrate that gold nanorods (AuNRs) can be delivered into the cytoplasm and even the nuclei of cancer and normal cells within a few minutes by AS stimulation. The delivery efficiency of AS stimulation is four times higher than that of endocytosis. Moreover, AS can effectively promote cytoskeleton assembly, regulate cell stiffness and change cell morphology. Since the inhibitory effect of AuNRs on cytoskeleton assembly, this AuNRs-AS system is able to inhibit or promote cell mechanical motion in a controlled manner by regulating the mechanical properties of cells. The bidirectional regulation of cell motion is further verified via scratch experiments, in which AuNRs-treated cells recover their motion ability through AS stimulation. In particular, the results of AuNRs-AS mechanical regulation on cell are related to the intrinsic properties of cell lines, revealing to more obvious effects on the cells with higher motor capacities. In summary, this acoustic technology has shown superiorities in controllable cell-motion manipulation, indicating its potential in building a multifunctional, integrated cytomechanics regulation platform.

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
Bimetallic nanostructures comprising plasmonic and catalytic components have recently emerged as a promising approach to generate a new type of photo-enhanced nanoreactors. Most designs however concentrate on plasmon-induced charge separation, leaving photo-generated heat as a side product. This work presents a photoreactor based on Au-Pd nanorods with an optimized photothermal conversion, which aims to effectively utilize the photo-generated heat to increase the rate of Pd-catalyzed reactions. Dumbbell-shaped Au nanorods were fabricated via a seed-mediated growth method using binary surfactants. Pd clusters were selectively grown at the tips of the Au nanorods, using the zeta potential as a new synthetic parameter to indicate the surfactant remaining on the nanorod surface. The photothermal conversion of the Au-Pd nanorods was improved with a thin layer of polydopamine (PDA) or TiO2. As a result, a 60% higher temperature increment of the dispersion compared to that for bare Au rods at the same light intensity and particle density could be achieved. The catalytic performance of the coated particles was then tested using the reduction of 4-nitrophenol as the model reaction. Under light, the PDA-coated Au-Pd nanorods exhibited an improved catalytic activity, increasing the reaction rate by a factor 3. An analysis of the activation energy confirmed the photoheating effect to be the dominant mechanism accelerating the reaction. Thus, the increased photothermal heating is responsible for the reaction acceleration. Interestingly, the same analysis shows a roughly 10% higher reaction rate for particles under illumination compared to under dark heating, possibly implying a crucial role of localized heat gradients at the particle surface. Finally, the coating thickness was identified as an essential parameter determining the photothermal conversion efficiency and the reaction acceleration.

Abstract
Bacterial infection remains one of the most dangerous threats to human health due to the increasing cases of bacterial resistance, which is caused by the extensive use of current antibiotics. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is similar to photodynamic therapy (PDT), but PTT can generate heat energy under the excitation of light of specific wavelength, resulting in overheating and damage to target cells or sites. Polydopamine (PDA) has been proved to show plenty of advantages, such as simple preparation, good photothermal conversion effects, high biocompatibility, and easy functionalization and adhesion. Taking these advantages, dopamine is widely used to synthesize the PDA nanosystem with excellent photothermal effects, good biocompatibility, and high drug loading ability, which therefore play more and more important roles for anticancer and antibacterial treatment. PDA nanosystem-mediated PTT has been reported to induce significant tumor inhibition, as well as bacterial killings due to PTT-induced hyperthermia. Moreover, combined with other cancer or bacterial inhibition strategies, PDA nanosystem-mediated PTT can achieve more effective tumor and bacterial inhibitions. In this review, we summarized the progress of preparation methods for the PDA nanosystem, followed by advances of their biological functions and mechanisms for PTT uses, especially in the field of antibacterial treatments. We also provided advances on how to combine PDA nanosystem-mediated PTT with other antibacterial methods for synergistic bacterial killings. Moreover, we further provide some prospects of PDA nanosystem-mediated PTT against intracellular bacteria, which might be helpful to facilitate their future research progress for antibacterial therapy.

Abstract
The optical properties and electric field enhancement of gold nanorods for different cases were investigated in this study. The numerical analysis was carried out to understand the functionality and working of gold nanorods, while the experimental portion of the work was focused on the efficiency of gold nanorods for targeted drug delivery. COMSOL Multiphysics was used for numerical analysis. The theoretical results suggest the use of gold nanorods (AuNRs) for anticancer applications. The resonance peaks for gold nanorods of 10 nm diameter were observed at 560 nm. The resonance peaks shifted towards longer wavelengths with an increase in nanorod size. The resonance peaks showed a shift of 140 nm with a change in nanorod length from 25 to 45 nm. On the experimental side, 22 nm, 35 nm and 47 nm long gold nanorods were produced using the seed-mediated growth method. The surface morphology of the nanorods, as well as their optical characteristics, were characterized. Later, gold nanorods were applied to the targeted delivery of the doxorubicin drug. Gold nanorods showed better efficiency for doxorubicin drug loading time, release time, loading temperature, and release temperature. These results reveal that AuNRs@DA possess good ability to load and deliver the drug directly to the tumorous cells since these cells show high temperature and acidity.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy can remarkably improve the permeability of the cell membrane and reduce the concentration of chemotherapy agents that not only kill the tumor cells effectively but also have adverse effects on normal tissues. It is of great meaning to construct nanomaterials that could be simultaneously applied for tumor eradication with PTT and chemotherapy. In this work, we developed a novel gold nanorod coated with mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (oMSN-GNR), which presented as an optimal photothermal contrast agent. Moreover, after doxorubicin loading (oMSN-GNR–DOX), the organosilica shell exhibited biodegradable properties under high glutathione in the tumor microenvironment, resulting in massively releasing doxorubicin to kill tumor cells. More importantly, the hyperthermia effect of GNR cores under near-infrared light provided promising opportunities for localized photothermal ablation in vivo. Therefore, the combination of precise chemotherapy and highly effective PTT successfully inhibited tumor growth in liver tumor-bearing mice. This versatile synergistic therapy with local heating and chemotherapeutics precise release opens up the potential clinical application of PTT and chemotherapy therapeutics for malignant tumor eradication.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobes have attracted particular interests in the field of bioimaging owing to their high sensitivity and specificity of the fingerprint spectrum. However, the limited signal-to-background ratio (SBR) in SERS imaging and the requirement to perform imaging in a dark environment have largely hindered its biomedical application. To circumvent this, we have developed a type of bio-orthogonal nanoprobes for SERS imaging with an ultrahigh SBR and ambient light anti-interference ability. The core-shell nanoprobes exhibit strongly enhanced Raman signals and depress the background from photoluminescence of metallic nanoparticles by off-resonance excitation and from the Raman scattering and auto-fluorescence of tissues by near-infrared laser excitation. Such nanoprobes have achieved an SBR of over 100 in SERS bioimaging, 5 times higher than the traditional on-resonant nanoprobes, and their bio-orthogonal signal in the Raman-silent region renders the anti-interference capability under ambient light. The development of these SERS probes opens up a new era for the future applications of Raman imaging in clinical medicine.

Abstract
The early diagnosis together with an efficient therapy of cancer is essential to treat cancer patients and to enhance their quality of life. The use of nanostructures, as a newer technology, has demonstrated proven benefits as efficient cancer theranostic agents in numerous recent studies. Having a tunable surface plasmon resonance, gold nanostructures have been the subject of many recent studies as excellent imaging and photothermal therapy agents. However, the potential cytotoxicity and weak stability of gold nanostructures necessitate further modifications using biocompatible materials for biological applications. Based on the composition of the final structure, these gold-based hybrid nanostructures (GHNs) could be divided into five major groups; each of which has specific pros and cons. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each group helps scientists to optimize GHN designs with multiple functions by synergizing the benefits of different groups. This review aims to summarize the advancements in GHN design and provide a perspective view of future requirements for successful GHN-based targeted combinational cancer theranostic platforms.

Abstract
Bringing together photothermal therapy and chemotherapy (photothermal-chemotherapy, PT-CT) is a highly promising clinical approach but requires the development of intelligent multifunctional delivery vectors. In this work, we prepared mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA NPs) loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX). These NPs were then coated with the platelet membrane (PLTM). The coated MPDA NPs are spherical and clearly mesoporous in structure. They have a particle size of approximately 184 nm and pore size of ca. 45 nm. The NPs are potent photothermal agents and efficient DOX carriers, with increased rates of drug release observed in vitro in conditions representative of the tumor microenvironment. The NPs are preferentially taken up by cancer cells but not by macrophage cells, and while cytocompatible with healthy cells are highly toxic to cancer cells. An in vivo murine model of human breast cancer revealed that the NPs can markedly slow the growth of a tumor (ca. 9-fold smaller after 14 days' treatment), have extended pharmacokinetics compared to free DOX (with DOX still detectable in the bloodstream after 24 h when the NPs are applied), and are highly targeted with minimal off-site effects on the heart, liver, spleen, kidney, and lungs.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been extensively investigated for their use in various biomedical applications. Owing to their biocompatibility, simple surface modifications, and electrical and unique optical properties, AuNPs are considered promising nanomaterials for use in in vitro disease diagnosis, in vivo imaging, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications. The functionality of AuNPs may be further expanded by producing hybrid nanocomposites with polymers that provide additional functions, responsiveness, and improved biocompatibility. Polymers may deliver large quantities of drugs or genes in therapeutic applications. A polymer alters the surface charges of AuNPs to improve or modulate cellular uptake efficiency and their biodistribution in the body. Furthermore, designing the functionality of nanocomposites to respond to an endo- or exogenous stimulus, such as pH, enzymes, or light, may facilitate the development of novel therapeutic applications. In this review, we focus on the recent progress in the use of AuNPs and Au-polymer nanocomposites in therapeutic applications such as drug or gene delivery, photothermal therapy, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape and adjustable plasmonic properties. With the continuous improvement in synthetic methods, a variety of materials have been attached around Au NRs to achieve unexpected or improved plasmonic properties and explore state-of-the-art technologies. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest progress on Au NRs, the most versatile anisotropic plasmonic NPs. We present a representative overview of the advances in the synthetic strategies and outline an extensive catalogue of Au-NR-based heterostructures with tailored architectures and special functionalities. The bottom-up assembly of Au NRs into preprogrammed metastructures is then discussed, as well as the design principles. We also provide a systematic elucidation of the different plasmonic properties associated with the Au-NR-based structures, followed by a discussion of the promising applications of Au NRs in various fields. We finally discuss the future research directions and challenges of Au NRs.

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
Glucose oxidase-mediated starvation therapy that effectively cuts off energy supply holds great promise in cancer treatment. However, high glutathione (GSH) contents and anoxic conditions severely reduce therapy efficiency and cannot fully kill cancer cells. Herein, to resolve the above problem, this study constructed a biomimetic nanosystem based on nanreproo-MnO2with porous craspedia globose-like structure and high specific surface area, and it was further modified with dopamine and folic acid to guarantee good biocompatibility and selectivity toward cancer cells. This nanosystem responsively degraded and reacted with GSH and acid to regenerate O2, which significantly increased intracellular O2levels, accelerated glucose consumption, and improved starvation therapy efficiency. Moreover, anticancer drug of camptothecin was further loaded, and notably enhanced cancer growth inhibition was obtained at very low drug concentrations. Most importantly, this novel therapy could unprecedentedly inhibit cancer cell migration to a very low ratio of 19%, and detailed cell apoptosis analyses revealed late stage apoptosis contributed most to the good therapeutic effect. This work reported a new train of thought to improve starvation therapy in biomedicine, and provided a new strategy to design targeted nanocarrier to delivery mixed drugs to overcome the restriction of starvation therapy and develop new therapy patterns.

Abstract
Background The exploitation of novel nanomaterials combining diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities within one single nanoplatform is challenging for tumor theranostics. Methods We synthesized dendrimer-modified gold nanorods for combinational gene therapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) of colon cancer. Poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAM, G3) grafted gold nanorods were modified with GX1 peptide (a cyclic 7-mer peptide, CGNSNPKSC). The obtained Au NR@PAMAM-GX1 are proposed as a gene delivery vector to gene (FAM172A, regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of colon cancer cells) for the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and gene therapy of Colon cancer cells (HCT-8 cells). In addition, the CT imaging function of Au NR can provide imaging evidence for the diagnosis of colon cancer. Results The results display that Au NR@PAMAM-GX1 can specifically deliver FAM172A to cancer cells with excellent transfection efficiency. The HCT-8 cells treated with the Au NR@PAMAM-GX1/FAM172A under laser irradiation have a viability of 20.45%, which is much lower than the survival rate of other single-mode PTT treatment or single-mode gene therapy. Furthermore, animal experiment results confirm that Au NR@PAMAM-GX1/FAM172A complexes can achieve tumor thermal imaging, targeted CT imaging, PTT and gene therapy after tail vein injection. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that the synthesized Au NR@PAMAM-GX1 offer a facile platform to exert antitumor and improve the diagnostic level of tumor.

Abstract
Laryngeal cancer is highly aggressive and insensitive to conventional targeted therapies, which often result in poor therapeutic outcomes. Image-guided precision therapy is a promising strategy in oncology that has superior safety and efficacy versus conventional therapies. Here, we present a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform based on melanin-coated gold nanorod (GNR) that exhibits excellent multimodal imaging ability and photothermal effects. These attributes make the platform applicable for multimodal photoacoustic (PA)/positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) image-guided photothermal treatment of laryngeal cancer. The melanin nanoparticles markedly suppress the cytotoxicity of the template cetyltrimethylammonium bromide bilayer and conferred the GNR with excellent PET/MR imaging performances, due to their native biocompatibilities and strong affinities to metal ions. Moreover, the introduction of GNR to the melanin nanoparticles greatly improved the near-infrared absorbances and passive targeting capabilities, leading to exceptional PA imaging and photothermal ablation of tumors. The nanoplatform exhibits high stability and dispersity under physiological conditions. After intravenous injection, the nanoplatform could be precisely tracked in vivo and enabled laryngopharyngeal superficial cancer to be located and imaged. Combined photothermal therapy effectively ablated tumors with negligible side effects. Thus, this work presents a unique and biocompatible nanoplatform that allows multimodal imaging, high anti-tumor PTT efficacy, and negligible side effects in the treatment of laryngeal cancer.

Abstract
Despite enormous advancements in the field of oncology, the innocuous and effectual treatment of various types of malignancies remained a colossal challenge. The conventional modalities such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery have been remained the most viable options for cancer treatment, but lacking of target-specificity, optimum safety and efficacy, and pharmacokinetic disparities are their impliable shortcomings. Though, in recent decades, numerous encroachments in the field of onco-targeted drug delivery have been adapted but several limitations (i.e., short plasma half-life, early clearance by reticuloendothelial system, immunogenicity, inadequate internalization and localization into the onco-tissues, chemoresistance, and deficient therapeutic efficacy) associated with these onco-targeted delivery systems limits their clinical viability. To abolish the aforementioned inadequacies, a promising approach has been emerged in which stealthing of synthetic nanocarriers has been attained by cloaking them into the natural cell membranes. These biomimetic nanomedicines not only retain characteristics features of the synthetic nanocarriers but also inherit the cell-membrane intrinsic functionalities. In this review, we have summarized preparation methods, mechanism of cloaking, and pharmaceutical and therapeutic superiority of cell-membrane camouflaged nanomedicines in improving the bio-imaging and immunotherapy against various types of malignancies. These pliable adaptations have revolutionized the current drug delivery strategies by optimizing the plasma circulation time, improving the permeation into the cancerous microenvironment, escaping the immune evasion and rapid clearance from the systemic circulation, minimizing the immunogenicity, and enabling the cell-cell communication via cell membrane markers of biomimetic nanomedicines. Moreover, the preeminence of cell-membrane cloaked nanomedicines in improving the bio-imaging and theranostic applications, alone or in combination with phototherapy or radiotherapy, have also been pondered.

Abstract
Various polydopamine (PDA) nanospheres were synthesized by utilizing triblock copolymer Pluronic F127 and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (TMB) as soft templates. Precise morphology control of polydopamine nanospheres was realized from solid polydopamine nanospheres to hollow polydopamine nanospheres, mesoporous polydopamine nanospheres and hollow mesoporous polydopamine nanospheres (H-MPDANSs) by adjusting the weight ratio of TMB to F127. The inner diameter of the prepared H-MPDANSs can be controlled in the range of 50-100 nm, and the outer diameter is about 180 nm. Furthermore, the thickness of hollow mesoporous spherical shell can be adjusted by changing the amount of dopamine (DA). The H-MPDANSs have good biocompatibility, excellent photothermal properties, high drug loading capacity, and outstanding sustainable drug release properties. In addition, both NIR laser irradiation and acid pH can facilitate the controlled release of doxorubicin (DOX) from H-MPDANSs@DOX.

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
Polydopamine (PDA) has attracted much attention recently due to its strong adhesion capability to most substrates. After combining with organic (such as organic metal framework, micelles, hydrogel, polypeptide copolymer) or inorganic nanomaterials (such as gold, silicon, carbon), polydopamine-based nanoparticles (PDA NPs) exhibit the merging of characteristics. Until now, the preparation methods, polymerization mechanism, and photothermal therapy (PTT) or chemotherapy (CT) applications of PDA NPs have been reported detailly. Since the PTT or CT treatment process is often accompanied by exogenous stimuli, tumor cells usually induce pro-survival autophagy to protect the cells from further damage, which will weaken the therapeutic effect. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of PDA NPs modulated PTT, CT, and autophagy is required. However, this association is rarely reviewed. Herein, we briefly described the relationship between PTT/CT, autophagy, and tumor treatment. Then, the outstanding performances of PDA NPs in PTT/CT and their combination with autophagy inhibitors for tumor synergistic therapy have been summarized. This work is expected to shed light on the multi-strategy antitumor therapy applications of PDA NPs.

Abstract
After the first case has appeared in China, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose an omnipresent threat to global health, affecting more than 70 million patients and leading to around 1.6 million deaths. To implement rapid and effective clinical management, early diagnosis is the mainstay. Today, real-time reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR test is the major diagnostic practice as a gold standard method for accurate diagnosis of this disease. On the other side, serological assays are easy to be implemented for the disease screening. Considering the limitations of today's tests including lengthy assay time, cost, the need for skilled personnel, and specialized infrastructure, both strategies, however, have impediments to be applied to the resource-scarce settings. Therefore, there is an urgent need to democratize all these practices to be applicable across the globe, specifically to the locations comprising of very limited infrastructure. In this regard, sensor systems have been utilized in clinical diagnostics largely, holding great potential to have pivotal roles as an alternative or complementary options to these current tests, providing crucial fashions such as being suitable for point-of-care settings, cost-effective, and having short turnover time. In particular, the integration of smart materials into sensor technologies leverages their analytical performances, including sensitivity, linear dynamic range, and specificity. Herein, we comprehensively review major smart materials such as nanomaterials, photosensitive materials, electrically sensitive materials, their integration with sensor platforms, and applications as wearable tools within the scope of the COVID-19 diagnosis.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNRs) show great promise as photothermal therapy agents due to their remarkable ability to convert light into heat. In most cases, gold nanorods are synthesised via a seed-mediated method assisted by surfactants. However, the toxicity of these surfactants, principally cetrimonium ions, has prevented GNRs from being used more widely in vivo. To address this issue, various detoxification and functionalisation approaches have been proposed in recent years to replace or cover surfactant coatings on the gold surface. In this short review, the advantages and limitations of each approach are examined in the context of the recent progress made towards the design of GNRs suitable for use in the body.

Abstract
Plasmonic particles as gold nanorods have emerged as powerful contrast agents for critical applications as the photoacoustic imaging and photothermal ablation of cancer. However, their unique efficiency of photothermal conversion may turn into a practical disadvantage, and expose them to the risk of overheating and irreversible photodamage. Here, we outline the main ideas behind the technology of photoacoustic imaging and the use of relevant contrast agents, with a main focus on gold nanorods. We delve into the processes of premelting and reshaping of gold nanorods under illumination with optical pulses of a typical duration in the order of few ns, and we present different approaches to mitigate this issue. We undertake a retrospective classification of such approaches according to their underlying, often implicit, principles as: constraining the initial shape; or speeding up their thermal coupling to the environment by lowering their interfacial thermal resistance; or redistributing the input energy among more particles. We discuss advantages, disadvantages and contexts of practical interest where one solution may be more appropriate than the other.

Tumor size-dependent abscopal effect of polydopamine-coated all-in-one nanoparticles for immunochemo-photothermal therapy of early- and late-stage metastatic cancer. Biomaterials 2020; 269:120629. [PMID: 33387938 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.120629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Revised: 12/05/2020] [Accepted: 12/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Metastatic cancer is a persistent clinical enigma, which requires combination of several treatment modules. Here, we developed an all-in-one nanomedicine strategy to systemically co-deliver photosensitive, chemotherapeutic, and immunomodulating agents for effective immunochemo-photothermal therapy (PTT) to inhibit both primary tumor and distal metastatic tumor. Two types of polydopamine (dp)-coated nanoparticles (NPs) (N/PGEM/dp-5 and N/PGEM/dp-16) co-loaded with gemcitabine (GEM) and NLG919, a potent indoleamine-2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor, were prepared. N/PGEM/dp-16 NPs with a thicker dp coating layer showed higher photothermal conversion ability, more favorable biodistribution profile and better tumor inhibition effect compared to N/PGEM/dp-5 NPs with a thinner coating layer. Combination with laser irradiation further enhanced the tumor inhibition effect of N/PGEM/dp-16 NPs. In an "early metastatic" pancreatic cancer PANC02 model with small distal tumors, introduction of NLG and dp coating improved the inhibition effect on both primary and distal tumors. Compared to N/PGEM/dp-16, N/PGEM/dp-16 plus laser irradiation further enhanced the inhibition effect on primary tumor, but didn't improve the abscopal antitumor effect. When the initial volume of distal tumor was sufficiently large in a "late metastasis" model, a more dramatic abscopal antitumor effect was achieved, resulting in a significant growth inhibition of both primary tumor and the unirradiated distal tumor. Furthermore, laser irradiation can amplify the immunochemo-NPs-mediated innate and adaptive immune responses in both tumors. This work demonstrated a distal tumor-size dependent abscopal effect, and provided a perspective for future design of more effective immunochemo-PTT nano-formulations for early- and late-stage metastatic tumors.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has shown great potentials in biomedical fields due largely to its unique physicochemical properties, including high photothermal transfer efficiency, excellent drug binding capacity, versatile adhesion ability, sensitive pH responsibility and great biocompatibility and biodegradability. These properties confer PDA-based nanoparticles the potentials either as the drug carriers for advanced drug delivery or as the bioactive agents for photothermal therapy, imaging and biosensing. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of PDA, its polymerization mechanisms and the potentials of PDA-based nano-systems in treating various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, inflammation, bacterial infection and Parkinson's disease. In addition, the concerns of PDA in biomedical use are also discussed.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional nanoplatform with combination of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive dual T1/T2 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and synergistically self-enhanced photothermal/photodynamic/chemo-therapy is of significant importance for tumor theranostic, which still remains a great challenge. Herein, a novel hollow mesoporous double-shell Co9S8@MnO2 nanoplatform loaded with photodynamic agent of indocyanine green molecules (ICG) and chemotherapy drug of doxorubicin (DOX) was designed for TME responsive dual T1/T2 enhanced MR imaging and synergistically enhanced anti-tumor therapy. The designed nanoplatform with MnO2 shell can act as a TME-responsive oxygen self-supplied producer to alleviate tumor hypoxia and simultaneously improve photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency. Moreover, the TME-induced MnO2 dissolving and near-infrared (NIR) triggered photothermal nature from Co9S8 shell can further promote the tumor-targeted DOX release, leading to the synergistically improved anti-tumor efficacy. And the simultaneous enhancement in dual T1/T2 MR signal was achieved for highly specific tumor diagnosis. The in vivo and in vitro results confirmed that the designed TME-triggered nanoplatform with synergistic combination therapy presented good biocompatibility, and superior inhibition of tumor growth than monotherapy. This study provides the opportunities of designing intelligent TME-activated nanoplatform for highly specific tumor MR imaging and collaborative self-enhanced tumor therapy.

Abstract
Synthesis of hollow polydopamine bowl-shaped nanoparticles (nanobowls), as small as 80 nm in diameter, via a one-pot template-free rapid method is reported. Addition of dopamine to a solution of 0.606 mg/mL tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane in an ethanol/water mixed solvent resulted in the formation of hollow spherical nanocapsules within 2 h. At longer reaction times, the formation of conventional solid nanospheres dominated the reaction. The wall thickness of the nanocapsules increased with increasing dopamine concentration in the reaction medium. Wall thickness was also influenced by oxygen availability during the reaction. Nanocapsules with thin walls were prone to collapse. When dried, over 90% of the nanocapsules with wall thickness on the order of 11 nm collapsed. Also, the degree of collapse of individual nanoparticles changed from complete to partial to no collapse as the wall thickness was increased. Varying the ethanol content affected the cavity size and overall dimension of the nanocapsules produced but did not result in a significant change to the wall thickness. A mechanism describing the formation of the nanocapsules and their subsequent collapse into nanobowls is presented. The shape-tunable nanobowls prepared through this green, rapid, and affordable method are expected to have applications in the biomedical, electrochemical, and catalytic fields.
