Abstract
Nanomedicines loaded in macrophages (MAs) can actively target tumors without dominantly relying on the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, making them effective for treating EPR-deficient malignancies. Herein, copper-crosslinked carbon dot clusters (CDCs) are synthesized with both photodynamic and chemodynamic functions to manipulate MAs, aiming to direct the MA-mediated tumor targeting. First, green fluorescent CDs (g-CDs) are prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method. Subsequently, the g-CDs are complexed with divalent copper ions to form copper-crosslinked CDCs (g-CDCs/Cu), which are incubated with MAs for their manipulation. Experimental results revealed that the prepared g-CDCs/Cu displayed good aqueous dispersibility and fluorescent emission properties. The nanoassemblies can be activated to deplete the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of laser irradiation through the combined Cu-mediated chemodynamic therapy and CD-mediated photodynamic therapy. Furthermore, the ROS produced in MAs enabled polarization of MAs to antitumor M1 phenotype, suggesting the future potential use to reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. These results obtained from the current study suggest a significant potential to develop g-CDCs/Cu for GSH depletion, ROS generation, and MA M1 polarization as a theransotic agent to tackle cancer.

Abstract
As a sort of fluorescent carbon nanomaterial with a particle size of less than 10 nm, carbon dots (CDs) have their own merits of good dispersibility in water, stable optical properties, strong chemical inertness, stable optical properties, and good biosecurity. These excellent peculiarities facilitated them like sensing, imaging, medicine, catalysis, and optoelectronics, making them a new star in the field of nanotechnology. In particular, the development of CDs in the fields of chemical probes, imaging, cancer therapy, antibacterial and drug delivery has become a hot topic in current research. Although the biomedical applications in CDs have been demonstrated in many research articles, a systematic summary of their role in biomedical applications is scarce. In this review, we introduced the basic information of CDs in detail, including synthesis approaches of CDs as well as their favorable properties including photoluminescence and low cytotoxicity. Subsequently, the application of CDs in the field of biomedicine was emphasized. Finally, the main challenges and research prospects of CDs in this field were proposed, which might provide some detailed information in designing new CDs in this promising biomedical field.

Abstract
Cancer treatment is presently a significant challenge in the medical domain, wherein the primary modalities of intervention include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. However, these therapeutic modalities carry side effects. Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have emerged as promising modalities for the treatment of tumors in recent years. Phototherapy is a therapeutic approach that involves the exposure of materials to specific wavelengths of light, which can subsequently be converted into either heat or Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) to effectively eradicate cancer cells. Due to the hydrophobicity and lack of targeting of many photoresponsive materials, the use of nano-carriers for their transportation has been extensively explored. Among these nanocarriers, liposomes have been identified as an effective drug delivery system due to their controllability and availability in the biomedical field. By binding photoresponsive materials to liposomes, it is possible to reduce the cytotoxicity of the material and regulate drug release and accumulation at the tumor site. This article provides a comprehensive review of the progress made in cancer therapy using photoresponsive materials loaded onto liposomes. Additionally, the article discusses the potential synergistic treatment through the combination of phototherapy with chemo/immuno/gene therapy using liposomes.

Abstract
The colon tumor microenvironment has a high concentration of H2 S and glutathione, which is highly immunosuppressive and adverse to multiple therapeutic methodologies such as ferroptosis. Here, an engineered microbial nanohybrid based on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Cu2 O nanoparticles to specific colon tumor therapy and immunosuppression reversion is reported. The as-prepared E. coli@Cu2 O hybrid can accumulate in tumor sites upon intravenous injection, and Cu2 O nanoparticles convert to Cux S by consuming the endogenous H2 S, which exhibits strong photothermal conversion at near-infrared II (NIR II) biological window. Furthermore, E. coli@Cu2 O is able to induce cellular ferroptosis and cuproptosis through inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 and aggregation of dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase, respectively. Photothermal-enhanced ferroptosis/cuproptosis achieved by E. coli@Cu2 O reverses the immunosuppression of colon tumors by triggering dendritic cell maturation (about 30%) and T cell activation (about 50% CD8+ T cells). Concerted with immune checkpoint blockade, the engineered microbial nanohybrid can inhibit the growth of abscopal tumors upon NIR illumination. Overall, the designed microbial nanohybrid can achieve tumor-specific photothermal-enhanced ferroptosis/cuproptosis and immunosuppression reversion, showing promise in precise tumor therapy in future clinical translation.

Abstract
Growth factors play a crucial role in regulating a broad variety of biological processes and are regarded as powerful therapeutic agents in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in the past decades. However, their application is limited by their short half-lives and potential side effects in physiological environments. Hydrogels are identified as having the promising potential to prolong the half-lives of growth factors and mitigate their adverse effects by restricting them within the matrix to reduce their rapid proteolysis, burst release, and unwanted diffusion. This review discusses recent progress in the development of growth factor-containing hydrogels for various biomedical applications, including wound healing, brain tissue repair, cartilage and bone regeneration, and spinal cord injury repair. In addition, the review introduces strategies for optimizing growth factor release including affinity-based delivery, carrier-assisted delivery, stimuli-responsive delivery, spatial structure-based delivery, and cellular system-based delivery. Finally, the review presents current limitations and future research directions for growth factor-delivering hydrogels.

Abstract
In recent years, with the continuous in-depth exploration of the molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis, numerous potential new targets for cancer treatment have been identified, some of which have been further developed in clinical practice and have produced positive outcomes. Notably, researchers' initial motivation for studying copper metabolism in cancer stems from the fact that copper is a necessary trace element for organisms and is closely connected to body growth and metabolism. Moreover, over the past few decades, considerable progress has been made in understanding the molecular processes and correlations between copper and cancer. Certain achievements have been made in the development and use of relevant clinical medications. The concept of "cuproptosis," a novel concept that differs from previous forms of cell death, was first proposed by a group of scientists last year, offering fresh perspectives on the targeting capabilities of copper in the treatment of cancer. In this review, we introduced the fundamental physiological functions of copper, the key components of copper metabolism, and a summary of the current research contributions on the connection between copper and cancer. In addition, the development of new copper-based nanomaterials and their associated mechanisms of action are discussed. Finally, we described how the susceptibility of cancer cells to this metallic nutrition could be leveraged to further improve the existing cancer treatment paradigm in the new setting.

Abstract
Improving radiation effect on tumor cells using radiosensitizers is gaining traction for improving chemoradiotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) synthesized using chrysin as radiosensitizer with γ-radiation on biochemical and histopathological approaches in mice bearing Ehrlich solid tumor. CuNPs were characterized with irregular round sharp shape with size range of 21.19-70.79 nm and plasmon absorption at 273 nm. In vitro study on MCF-7 cells detected cytotoxic effect of CuNPs with IC50 of 57.2 ± 3.1 μg. In vivo study was performed on mice transplanted with Ehrlich solid tumor (EC). Mice were injected with CuNPs (0.67 mg/kg body weight) and/or exposed to low dose of gamma radiation (0.5 Gy). EC mice exposed to combined treatment of CuNPs and radiation showed a marked reduction in tumor volume, ALT and CAT, creatinine, calcium, and GSH, along with elevation in MDA, caspase-3 in parallel with inhibition of NF-κB, p38 MAPK, and cyclin D1 gene expression. Comparing histopathological findings of treatment groups ends that combined treatment was of higher efficacy, showing tumor tissue regression and increase in apoptotic cells. In conclusion, CuNPs with a low dose of gamma radiation showed more powerful ability for tumor suppression via promoting oxidative state, stimulating apoptosis, and inhibiting proliferation pathway through p38MAPK/NF-κB and cyclinD1.

Abstract
Presently, the separation of oil and water through functional membranes inevitably entails either inefficient gravity-driven processes or energy-intensive vacuum pressure mechanisms. This study introduces an innovative photothermal evaporator that uses solar energy to drive oil-water separation while concurrently facilitating the detection of Fe3+ in wastewater. First, by alkali delignification, small holes were formed on the side wall of the large size tubular channel in the direction of wood growth. Subsequently, superhydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles were in situ assembled onto the sidewalls of the tubular channels. Finally, carbon quantum dots were deposited by spin-coating on the surface of the evaporator, paralleling the growth direction of the wood. During the photothermal evaporation process, the tubular channels with small holes in the side wall parallel the bulk water, which not only ensures the effective water supply to the photothermal surface but also reduces the heat loss caused by water reflux on the photothermal surface. The superhydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles confer both hydrophilic and oleophobic properties to the evaporator, preventing the accumulation of minute oil droplets within the device and achieving sustained and stable oil-water separation over extended periods. These carbon quantum dots exhibit capabilities for both photothermal conversion and fluorescence transmission. This photothermal evaporator achieves an evaporation rate as high as 2.3 kg m-2 h-1 in the oil-water separation process, and it has the ability to detect Fe3+ concentrations in wastewater as low as 10-9 M.

Abstract
The fluorescence of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) has been paid a lot of attention, but its photothermal performance attracts less attention since preparing CQDs with high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) is a big challenge. In this work, CQDs with an average size of 2.3 nm and a PCE of up to 59.4% under 650 nm laser irradiation were synthesized by a simple one-pot microwave-assisted solvothermal method using citric acid (CA) and urea (UR) as the precursors and N,N-dimethylformamide as the solvent under an optimized condition (CA/UR = 1/7, 150 °C, and 1 h). The as-prepared CQDs were demonstrated to have unique surface chemical states; i.e., abundant pyrrole, amide, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups were found on the surfaces of CQDs, which ensure a high PCE. These CQDs were introduced into a thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to form a CQDs@PNIPAM nanocomposite, and then, a bilayer hydrogel composed of CQDs@PNIPAM and polyacrylamide (PAM) was fabricated. The bilayer hydrogel can be reversibly deformed just by a light switching on/off operation. Based on the excellent photothermal performance, the developed CQDs are expected to be used in photothermal therapy, photoacoustic imaging, and other biomedical fields, and the CQDs@PNIPAM hydrogel nanocomposite is promising to be applied in intelligent device systems as a light-driven smart flexible material.

Abstract
Multimodal therapies have aroused great interest in tumor therapy due to their highly effective antitumor effect. However, immune clearance limits the practical application of nanoagents-based multimodal therapies. To solve this problem, we have designed hemoporfin-Cu9S8 hollow nanospheres camouflaged with the CT26 cell membrane (CCM) as a model of multifunctional agents, achieving homologous-targeted synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Hollow Cu9S8 as photothermal agents and carriers have been obtained through sulfurizing cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanoparticles through "Kirkendall effect", and they exhibit hollow nanospheres structure with a size of ∼200 nm. Then, Cu9S8 nanospheres could be used to load with hemoporfin sonosensitizers, and then hemoporfin-Cu9S8 nanospheres (abbreviated as H-Cu9S8) can be further surface-camouflaged with CCM. H-Cu9S8@CCM nanospheres exhibit a broad photoabsorption in the range of 700-1100 nm and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 39.8% under 1064 nm laser irradiation for subsequent PTT. In addition, under the excitation of ultrasound, the loaded hemoporfin could generate 1O2 for subsequent SDT. Especially, H-Cu9S8@CCM NPs are featured with biocompatibility and homologous targeting capacity. When intravenously (i.v.) injected into mice, H-Cu9S8@CCM NPs display a higher blood circulation half-life (3.17 h, 6.47 times) and tumor accumulation amount (18.75% ID/g, 1.94 times), compared to H-Cu9S8 NPs (0.49 h, 9.68% ID/g) without CCM. In addition, upon 1064 nm laser and ultrasound irradiation, H-Cu9S8@CCM NPs can inhibit tumor growth more efficiently due to high accumulation efficiency and synergistic PTT-SDT functions. Therefore, the present study provides some insight into the design of multifunctional efficient agents for homotypic tumor-targeted therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, the application of mRNA vaccine-based tumor immunotherapy invigorated anti-tumor therapy. However, the low efficiency of mRNA delivery and the lack of targeting ability in vivo are the major obstacles to achieving highly efficient immunotherapy. In this work, we report a chemical library of amphiphilic carbon dots (ACDs) and the synthesized ACDs were applied to mRNA delivery, bio-imaging, and tumor immunotherapy. The ACDs can smoothly bind with mRNA to form ACDs@mRNA nanocomplexes, and the fluorescent properties of the ACDs afforded the nanoparticles with bio-imaging ability. By screening of the ACDs, O12-Tta-CDs were found to have optimal mRNA transfection efficiency and the ability of spleen-targeted delivery. In addition, O12-Tta-CDs can well transfect the immune cells and promote the maturation and antigen presentation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). Furthermore, O12-Tta-CDs@OVA-mRNA was successfully applied to inhibit tumor growth, and more specific T-cell infiltration was observed in spleen and tumors of mice after treatment in the E.G7-OVA tumor model. Besides, O12-Tta-CDs@OVA-mRNA also achieved a good therapeutic effect in tumor recurrence inhibition and tumor prophylactic experiments. This study provided a new direction for the design of mRNA vectors, which is promising in tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Therapeutic modalities and drug formulations play a crucial and prominent role in actualizing effective treatment and radical cures of tumors. However, the therapeutic efficiency was severely limited by tumor recurrence and complex multi-step preparation of formulation. Therefore, the exploration of novel nanoparticles via a simple and green synthesis process for conquering traditional obstacles and improving therapeutic efficiency is an appealing, yet remarkably challenging task. Herein, a universal nanoplatform allows all cancerous cell-targeting, acid-responsive, cell imaging, synergistic chemotherapy, and nucleolar targeted phototherapy function was tactfully designed and constructed by using chemotherapeutic agents ursolic acid (UA), sorafenib (SF), and carbon dots (CDs) photosensitizers (PSs). The designed US NPs were formed by self-assembly of UA and SF associated with electrostatic, π-π stacking, and hydrophobic interactions. After hydrogen bonding reaction with CDs, the obtained (denoted as USC NPs) have a relatively uniform size of an average 125.6 nm, which facilitated the favorable accumulation of drugs at the tumor region through a potential enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect as compared to their counterpart of free CDs solution. Both in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that the advanced platform commenced synergistic anticancer therapeutic potency, imperceptible systematical toxicity, and remarkable reticence towards drug-resistant cancer cells. Moreover, the CDs PSs possess intrinsic nucleolus-targeting ability. Taken together, this theranostics system can fully play the role of "killing three birds with one stone" in a safe manner, implying a promising direction for exploring treatment strategies for cancer and endowing them with great potential for future translational research and providing a new vision for the advancing of an exceptionally forceful protocol for practical cancer therapy.

Abstract
The nucleolus is a newly developed and promising target for cancer diagnosis and therapy, and its imaging is extremely significant for fundamental research and clinical applications. The unique feature, i.e., high resolution at the subcellular level, makes the fluorescence imaging method a powerful tool for nucleolus imaging. However, the fluorescence imaging of nucleoli in living cells is restricted by the limited availability of fluorescent agents with specific nucleolus-targeting capability and superior biocompatibility. Here, promising carbon dots (CDs) with intrinsic nucleolus-targeting capability were synthesized, characterized and employed for dynamic fluorescence imaging of nucleoli in living cells. The CDs exhibit a high fluorescence quantum yield of 0.2, excellent specificity and photostability, and superior biocompatibility, which were systematically demonstrated at the gene, cellular and animal levels and confirmed by their biological effects on embryonic development. All these features enabled CDs to light up the nucleoli for a long time with a high signal-to-noise ratio in living cells and monitor the nucleolar dynamics of malignant cells in camptothecin (CPT) based chemotherapy. Their excellent optical and biological features as well as general nucleolus-targeting capability endow CDs with great potential for future translational research.

Abstract
Phototheranostics has attracted considerable attention in the fields of cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, the complete eradication of solid tumors using traditional phototheranostics is difficult because of the limited depth and range of laser irradiation. New phototheranostics enabling precise phototherapy and post-treatment imaging-guided programmed therapy for residual tumors is urgently required. Accordingly, this study developed a novel transformable phototheranostics by assembling hyaluronic acid (HA) with copper-nitrogen-coordinated carbon dots (CDs). In this transformable nanoplatform, named copper-nitrogen-CDs@HA, the HA component enables the specific targeting of cluster determinant (CD) 44-overexpressing tumor cells. In the tumor cells, redox glutathione converts Cu(II) (cupric ions) into Cu(I) (cuprous ions), which confers the novel transformable functionality to phototheranostics. Both in vitro and in vivo results reveal that the near-infrared-light-photoactivated CuII-N-CDs@HA could target CD44-overexpressing tumor cells for precise synergistic photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy. This study is the first to observe that CuII-N-CDs@HA could escape from lysosomes and be transformed in situ into CuI-N-CDs@HA in tumor cells, with the d9 electronic configuration of Cu(II) changing to the d10 electronic configuration of Cu(I), which turns on their fluorescence and turns off their photothermal properties. This transformable phototheranostics could be used for post-treatment imaging-guided photodynamic therapy on residual tumor cells. Thus, the rationally designed copper-nitrogen-coordinated CDs offer a simple in situ transformation strategy for using multiple-stimulus-responsive precise phototheranostics in post-treatment monitoring of residual tumor cells and imaging-guided programmed therapy.

Abstract
Metal ions possess abundant electrons and unoccupied orbitals, as well as large atomic radii, whose doping into carbon dots (CDs) is a facile strategy to endow CDs with additional physicochemical characteristics. After being doped with metal ions, CDs reveal obvious changes in their optical, electronic, and magnetic properties by adjustments to their electron density distribution and the energy gaps, leading them to be promising and competitive candidates as labeling probes, imaging agents, catalysts, nanodrugs, and so on. In this review, we summarize the fabrication methods of metal-ion-doped CDs (M-CDs), and highlight their biological applications including biosensing, bioimaging, tumor therapy, and anti-microbial treatment. Finally, the challenging future perspectives of M-CDs are analyzed. We hope this review will provide inspiration for further development of M-CDs in various biological aspects, and help readers who are interested in M-CDs and their biological applications.

Mater Today Bio 2022; 16:100359. [PMID: 35937575 PMCID: PMC9352966 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) is intently related to tumor growth, progression and invasion, leading to drug resistance and insufficient therapeutic efficacy. However, remodeling TME and utilizing TME for exploring intelligent nanomaterials that can realize tumor theranostic is still challenging. Nowadays, the theranostic based on chemotherapy exposes some deficiencies, such as low targeting, weak permeability and premature clearance. Furthermore, it is challenging to cure drug-resistant tumors effectively. For the sake of solving these problems, a biomimetic decomposable nano-theranostic (MMV-Au-CDs-DOX) was well-established in this work. The Au-CDs are coated with macrophage-derived microvesicle to realize drug release accurately and enhance the biocompatibility of internal nanoparticles. Furthermore, MMV-Au-CDs-DOX would locate in the inflammation position of tumor, and disintegrate correspondingly into pieces with certain different functions stimulated by TME. Subsequently, the released anti-tumor nanodrugs were used for multimodal therapy, including chemotherapy and hemodynamic therapy. In addition, combined with the ability of Au-CDs to recognize GSH specifically, the off-on fluorescent probe was constructed to monitor the GSH of tumor cells and provided information on chemotherapy resistance.

Abstract
Heteroatom-doped carbon dots (CDs) with optical absorbance in the near-infrared (NIR) region can provide an opportunity for selective cancer photothermal therapy (PTT). Here, an eco-friendly, simple, cost-efficient, and one-step hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize copper-doped CDs (Cu-doped CDs). The Alcea extract as the carbon source was combined with CuSO4 as the dopant. Microscopic and spectroscopic analyses showed that spherical and monodisperse Cu-doped CDs (Cu-dCDs) with sizes below 10 nm have bright fluorescence with photoluminescence quantum yields of 11.1%. Cu-dCDs exhibited an excellent single absorbance peak at 800 nm and strong emission at 460 nm when excited at 370 nm. In vitro low cytotoxicity and the Cu-dCD-mediated cell PTT with the photothermal conversion efficiency (39.3%) show that cell internalization of Cu-doped CDs under an 800 nm NIR laser can induce cell thermal death.

Abstract
Carbon nanodots (CNDs) are advanced nanomaterials with a size of 2–10 nm and are considered zero-dimensional carbonaceous materials. CNDs have received great attention in the area of cancer theranostics. The majority of review articles have shown the improvement of CNDs for use in cancer therapy and bioimaging applications. However, there is a minimal number of consolidated studies on the currently developed doped CNDs that are used in various ways in cancer therapies. Hence, in this review, we discuss the current developments in different types of heteroatom elements/metal ion-doped CNDs along with their preparations, physicochemical and biological properties, multimodal-imaging, and emerging applications in image-guided photodynamic therapies for cancer.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is a novel field of study that involves the use of nanomaterials to address challenges and issues that are associated with conventional therapeutics for cancer treatment including, but not limited to, low bioavailability, low water-solubility, narrow therapeutic window, nonspecific distribution, and multiple side effects of the drugs. Multiple strategies have been exploited to reduce the nonspecific distribution, and thus the side effect of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), including active and passive targeting strategies and externally controllable release of the therapeutic cargo. Site-specific release of the drug prevents it from impacting healthy cells, thereby significantly reducing side effects. API release triggers can be either externally applied, as in ultrasound-mediated activation, or induced by the tumor. To rationally design such nanomedicines, a thorough understanding of the differences between the tumor microenvironment versus that of healthy tissues must be pared with extensive knowledge of stimuli-responsive biomaterials. Herein, we describe the characteristics that differentiate tumor tissues from normal tissues. Then, we introduce smart materials that are commonly used for the development of smart nanomedicines to be triggered by stimuli such as changes in pH, temperature, and enzymatic activity. The most recent advances and their impact on the field of cancer therapy are further discussed.

Abstract
Despite the rapid development of science and technology, the effective treatment of cancer still threatens human life and health. However, the success of cancer treatment is closely related to early diagnosis, identification, and effective treatment. In recent years, with the strengthening of the development and research of nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and treatment, researchers have found that carbon dots (CDs) have the advantages of wide absorption, excellent biocompatibility, diverse imaging characteristics, and photostability and are widely used in various fields, such as sensing, imaging, and drug/gene transportation. Recently, researchers also discovered that CDs could be used as an effective photosensitizer to generate active oxygen or convert light energy into heat under the stimulation of the external lasers, making them have the effects of photothermal and photodynamic therapy for cancer. In this review, we first outline the single-modal and multimodal imaging analysis of CDs in cancer cells. After introducing diversified imaging functions, we focused on the design and the latest research progress of CDs in phototherapy and introduced in detail the strategies of CDs in phototherapy treatment and the challenges faced by clinical applications. We hope that this overview can provide important insights for researchers and accelerate the pace of research on CDs in imaging-guided phototherapy treatment.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are a type of atomically dispersed nanozymes with the highest atom utilization, which employ low-coordinated single atoms as the catalytically active sites. SACs not only inherit the merits of traditional nanozymes, but also hold high catalytic activity and superb catalytic selectivity, which ensure their tremendous application potential in environmental remediation, energy storage and conversion, chemical industry, nanomedicine, etc. Nevertheless, undesired aggregation effect of single atoms during preactivation and reaction processes is significantly enhanced owing to the high surface free energy of single atoms. In this case, appropriate substrates are requisite to prevent the aggregation event through the powerful interactions between the single atoms and the substrates, thereby stabilizing the high catalytic activity of the catalysts. In this review, the synthetic methods and characterization approaches of SACs are first described. Then the application cases of SACs in nanomedicine are summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities of the SACs in nanomedicine are outlined. It is hoped that this review may have implications for furthering the development of new SACs with improved biophysicochemical properties and broadened biomedical applications.

Abstract
One of the current challenges in the post-operative treatment of breast cancer is to develop a local therapeutic vector for preventing recurrence and metastasis. Herein, we develop a core-shell fibrous scaffold comprising phase-change materials and photothermal/chemotherapy agents, as a thermal trigger for programmable-response drug release and synergistic treatment. The scaffold is obtained by in situ growth of a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) shell on the surface of poly(butylene succinate)/lauric acid (PBS/LA) phase-change fibers (PCFs) to create PCF@ZIF-8. After optimizing the core-shell and phase transition behavior, gold nanorods (GNRs) and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) co-loaded PCF@ZIF-8 scaffolds were shown to significantly enhance in vitro and in vivo anticancer efficacy. In a healthy tissue microenvironment at pH 7.4, the ZIF-8 shell ensures the sustained release of DOX. If the tumor recurs, the acidic microenvironment induces the decomposition of the ZIF-8 shell. Under the second near-infrared (NIR-II) laser treatment, GNR-induced thermal not only directly destroys the relapsed tumor cells but also accelerates DOX release by inducing the phase transition of LA. Our study sheds light on a well-designed programmable-response trigger, which provides a promising strategy for post-operative recurrence prevention of cancer.

Abstract
Designing intelligent stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms that are integrated with a biological membrane system and nanomaterials to realize efficient imaging and therapy of tumors still remains to be challenging. Herein, we report a unique strategy to prepare redox-responsive yellow fluorescent carbon dot nanoclusters (y-CDCs) loaded with anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and coated with the cancer cell membrane (CCM) for precision fluorescence imaging and homologous targeting chemotherapy of tumors. The y-CDs with a size of 7.2 nm were first synthesized via a hydrothermal method and crosslinked to obtain redox-responsive y-CDCs with a size of 150.0 nm. The formulated y-CDCs were physically loaded with DOX with an efficiency of up to 81.0% and coated with CCM to endow them with antifouling properties, immune escape ability to escape from macrophage uptake, and homologous targeting capability to cancer cells. Within the reductive tumor microenvironment, the y-CDCs with quenched fluorescence can dissociate to form single y-CDs with recovered fluorescence and improved tumor penetration ability and simultaneously release DOX from the "cluster bomb", thus realizing efficient targeted tumor fluorescence imaging and chemotherapy. The designed y-CDCs/DOX@CCM may represent an updated nanomedicine formulation based on CDs for improved theranostics of different types of tumors.

Abstract
Intrinsic tumor microenvironment (TME)-related therapeutic resistance and nontumor-specific imaging have limited the application of imaging-guided cancer therapy. Herein, a TME-responsive MnO2-based nanoplatform coupled with turn-on and always-on fluorescence probes was designed through a facile biomineralization method for imaging-guided photodynamic/chemodynamic/photothermal therapy (PDT/CDT/PTT). After the tumor-targeting delivery of the AuNCs@MnO2-ICG@AS1411 (AMIT) nanoplatform via aptamer AS1411, the TME-responsive dissociation of MnO2 generated sufficient O2 and Mn2+ with the consumption of GSH for improving PDT efficacy and Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT. Simultaneously, the released small-sized ICG and AuNCs facilitated PDT and PTT efficacy via the deep tumor penetration. Moreover, the turn-on fluorescence of AuNCs revealed the real-time TME-responsive MnO2 degradation process, and the always-on ICG fluorescence enabled the in situ monitoring of the payload distribution in vitro and in vivo. The AMIT NPs also provided magnetic resonance and thermal imaging guidance for the enhanced PDT, CDT, and PTT. Therefore, this all-in-one nanosystem provides a simple and versatile strategy for multiple imaging-guided theranostic applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has inherent advantages in the treatment of hypoxic tumors due to its optically controlled selectivity on tumor ablation and oxygen-independent nature. The subcellular organelle-targeting capability and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) at near-infrared (NIR) wavelength are the key parameters in the assessment of the photothermal agent (PTA). Here, we report that carbon dots (CDs) prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of coronene derivatives show a high PCE of 54.7% at 808 nm, which can be attributed to the narrow band gap and the presence of amounts of continuous energy bands on CDs. Moreover, the vibrations in the layered graphite structures of the CDs also increase the rate of nonradiative transition and thus enhance the PCE. Furthermore, the CDs also possess excellent photostability, biocompatibility, and cell penetration capability and could mainly accumulate in the lysosomes. These experiment results have proved that the CDs are suitable as an efficient NIR light-triggered PTA for efficient PTT against cancer.

Abstract
Herein, novel rodlike CdTe@MPA-PDA particles based on polydopamine (PDA) loaded with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) capped with mercaptopropionic acid (CdTe@MPA QDs) with atypical chemical features are evaluated as a potential actuator for photothermal therapy and oxidative stress induction. Under mild conditions established for the safe and efficient use of lasers, temperature increases of 10.2 and 7.8 °C, photothermal conversion efficiencies of 37.7 and 26.2%, and specific absorption rates of 99 and 69 W/g were obtained for CdTe@MPA-PDA and traditional PDA particles in water, respectively. The particles were set to interact with the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231. A significant cellular uptake with the majority of particles colocalized into the lysosomes was obtained at a concentration of 100 μg/mL after 24 h. Additionally, CdTe@MPA-PDA and CdTe@MPA QDs showed significantly different internalization levels and loading kinetics profiles. For the first time, the thermal lens technique was used to demonstrate the stability of particle-like CdTe@MPA-PDA after heating at pH 7 and their migration within the heating region due to the thermodiffusion effect. However, under acidic pH-type lysosomes, a performance decrease in heating was observed, and the chemical feature of the particles was damaged as well. Besides, the internalized rodlike CdTe@MPA-PDA notably enhanced the induction of oxidative stress compared with PDA alone and CdTe@MPA QDs in MDA-MB-231 cells initiating apoptosis. Combining these effects suggests that after meticulous optimizations of the conditions, the CdTe@MPA-PDA particles could be used as a photothermal agent under mild conditions and short incubation time, allowing cytoplasmatic subcellular localization. On the other hand, the same particles act as cell killers by triggering reactive oxygen species after a longer incubation time and lysosomal subcellular localization due to the pH effect on the chemical morphology features of the CdTe@MPA-PDA particles.

Abstract
Remote control of the therapeutic process is an ideal strategy for maximizing efficacy and avoiding side effects, especially for cancer immunotherapy. Herein, a conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs)-mediated optogenetic system for in situ activation of immunotherapy under near-infrared laser irradiation is reported. This system is composed of photothermal CPNs and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) plasmid driven by heat shock promoter HSP70. The photothermally responsive CPNs serve as a photo-heat nanotransducer to trigger the gene transcription of IFN-γ cytokine. The secreted IFN-γ from cancer cells can sufficiently elicit surrounding tumor-associated macrophages activation through IFN-γ-JAK-STAT1 transcription-factor signaling pathway and finally induce cancer cell killing by immunotherapy. Therefore, this synergetic optogenetic system provides a promising approach to remotely control the process of cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Intersystem crossing (ISC) is of great significance in photochemistry, and has a decisive influence on the properties of photosensitizers (PSs) for use in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the rationally design PSs with efficient ISC processes to implement superb reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is still a very challenging work. In this contribution, we described how a series of high-performance PSs were constructed through electron acceptor and donor engineering by integrating the smaller singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST) and larger spin-orbit coupling (SOC)-beneficial functional groups into the PS frameworks. Among the yielded various PSs, TaTIC was confirmed as the best candidate for application in PDT, which was due to its most outstanding ROS generation capability, bright near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence with peak over 840 nm, as well as desired aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features. Importantly, the ROS generation efficiency of TaTIC was even superior to that of some popularly used PSs, including the most reputable PS of Rose Bengal. In order to further extend therapeutic applications, TaTIC was encapsulated with biocompatible amphiphilic matrix and formulated into water-dispersed nanoparticles (NPs). More excitedly, the as-prepared TaTIC NPs gave wonderful PDT performance on tumor-bearing mouse model, actualizing complete tumor elimination outcomes. Coupled with excellent biosecurity, TaTIC NPs would be a promising theranostic agent for practical clinical application.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective treatment strategy for cervical carcinoma is subject to the limitation of its anatomical location and histological characteristics. Comprehensive imaging before cervical carcinoma treatment is of great significance for the patients. Current imaging methods cannot meet the requirements of high resolution, deep imaging depth and non-invasive imaging at the same time. Fortunately, Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a novel imaging method that combines rich optical contrast, high ultrasonic spatial resolution, and deep penetration depth in a single modality. Moreover, PAI-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) by aid of targeting nanoparticles is an emerging and effective cancer treatment in recent years. METHODS Here, strong near-infrared region (NIR) absorption-conjugated polymer PIIGDTS (PD) nanoparticles with folic acid (FA) modification (namely, PD-FA) that targeted at Hela cell were specifically designed as cervical tumor imaging contrast agents and photothermal agents. RESULTS The obtained PD-FA nanoparticles exhibited admirable photoacoustic contrast-enhancing ability and desirable PTT behavior with the photothermal conversion efficiency as high as 62.6% in vitro. Furthermore, the PAI performance and PTT efficiency were tested in HeLa tumor-bearing nude mice after injection of PD-FA nanoparticles. In vivo multi-scale, PAI provided B-san and 3D dimension imaging for intuitive and comprehensive information of Hela tumor. Moreover, the Hela tumor can be completely eliminated within 18 days after PTT, with no toxicity and side effects. CONCLUSION In summary, PD-FA injection combined with PAI and PTT systems provides a novel powerful tool for early diagnosis and precise treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Antibacterial agents with enzyme-like properties and bacteria-binding ability have provided an alternative method to efficiently disinfect drug-resistance microorganism. Herein, a Fe3O4@MoS2-Ag nanozyme with defect-rich rough surface was constructed by a simple hydrothermal method and in-situ photodeposition of Ag nanoparticles. The nanozyme exhibited good antibacterial performance against E. coli (~69.4%) by the generated ROS and released Ag+, while the nanozyme could further achieve an excellent synergistic disinfection (~100%) by combining with the near-infrared photothermal property of Fe3O4@MoS2-Ag. The antibacterial mechanism study showed that the antibacterial process was determined by the collaborative work of peroxidase-like activity, photothermal effect and leakage of Ag+. The defect-rich rough surface of MoS2 layers facilitated the capture of bacteria, which enhanced the accurate and rapid attack of •OH and Ag+ to the membrane of E. coli with the assistance of local hyperthermia. This method showed broad-spectrum antibacterial performance against Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, drug-resistant bacteria and fungal bacteria. Meanwhile, the magnetism of Fe3O4 was used to recycle the nanozyme. This work showed great potential of engineered nanozymes for efficient disinfection treatment.

Abstract
This study aims to engineer a new type of ultrahigh quantum yield carbon dots (CDs) from methotrexate (MTX-CDs) with self-targeting, imaging, and therapeutic effects on MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cells. CDs were synthesized via a straightforward thermal method using a methotrexate (MTX) drug source. The physicochemical characteristics of the prepared MTX-CDs were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). TEM and DLS revealed which MTX-CDs have homogeneous spherical morphology with a smaller average size of 5.4 ± 2.2 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.533, and positive surface charge of around +3.93 mV. Results of FT-IR spectroscopy and high-resolution XPS indicated the presence of residues of MTX on CDs. Therefore, the synthesized MTX-CDs could be targeted and be taken up by FR-positive cell lines without the aid of additional targeting molecules. In vitro epifluorescence images demonstrated high-contrast cytoplasm biodistribution of MTX-CDs after 2 h of treatment. A much stronger fluorescent signal was detected in MDA-MB 231 compared to MCF 7, indicating their ability to precisely target FR. The highest cytotoxic and apoptotic effects were observed in MTX-CDs compared to free MTX obtained by the MTT assay, cell cycle arrest, and annexin V-FITC apoptosis techniques. Results revealed that the novel engineered MTX-CDs were capable of inducing apoptosis (70.2% apoptosis) at a lower concentration (3.2 μM) compared to free MTX, which was proved by annexin V and cell cycle. This work highlights the potential application of CDs for constructing an intelligent nanomedicine with integration of diagnostic, targeting, and therapeutic functions.

Abstract
The limited efficacy of "smart" nanotheranostic agents in eradicating tumors calls for the development of highly desirable nanoagents with diagnostics and therapeutics. Herein, to surmount these challenges, we constructed an intelligent nanoregulator by coating a mesoporous carbon nitride (C3N4) layer on a core-shell nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (N-GQD)@hollow mesoporous silica nanosphere (HMSN) and decorated it with a P-PEG-RGD polymer, to achieve active-targeting delivery (designated as R-NCNP). Upon irradiation, the resultant R-NCNP nanoregulators exhibit significant catalytic breakdown of water molecules, causing a sustainable elevation of oxygen level owing to the C3N4 shell, which facilitates tumor oxygenation and relieves tumor hypoxia. The generated oxygen bubbles serve as an echogenic source, triggering tissue impedance mismatch, thereby enhancing the generation of an echogenicity signal, making them laser-activatable ultrasound imaging agents. In addition, the encapsulated photosensitizers and C3N4-layered photosensitizer are simultaneously activated to maximize the yield of ROS, actualizing a triple-photosensitizer hybrid nanosystem exploited for enhanced PDT. Intriguingly, the N-GQDs endow the R-NCNP nanoregulator with a photothermal effect for hyperthemia, making it exhibit considerable photothermal outcomes and infrared thermal imaging (IRT). Importantly, further analysis reveals that the polymer-modified R-NCNPs actively target specific tumor tissues and display a triple-modal US/IRT/FL imaging-assisted cooperative PTT/PDT for real-time monitoring of tumor ablation and therapeutic evaluation. The rational synergy of triple-model PDT and efficient PTT in the designed nanoregulator confers excellent anticancer effects, as evidenced by in vitro and in vivo assays, which might explore more possibilities in personalized cancer treatment.

Abstract
Protons are highly related to cell viability during physiological and pathological processes. Developing new probes to monitor the pH variation could be extremely helpful to understand the viability of cells and the cell death study. Carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) are superior biocompatible and have been widely applied in bioimaging field. Herein, a new type of extreme-pH suitable CPDs was prepared from citric acid and o-phenylenediamine (CA/oPD-CPDs). Due to the co-existence of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, CA/oPD-CPDs tend to aggregate in neutral condition with a dramatic decrease of fluorescence, but disperse well in both acidic and alkaline conditions with brighter emission. This specialty enables them to selectively illuminate lysosomes in cells. Moreover, CA/oPD-CPDs in the cytoplasm could serve as a sustained probe to record intracellular pH variation during apoptosis. Furthermore, CA/oPD-CPDs present a continuous fluorescence increase upon 2-h laser irradiation in living cells, underscoring this imaging system for long-term biological recording.

Abstract
1D peptide nanostructures (i.e., peptide nanotubes, PNTs) exhibit tunable chemo-physical properties and functions such as improved tissue adhesion, increased cellular uptake, and elongated blood circulation. In this study, the application of PNTs as a desirable 1D template for biomineralization of Cu2-x S nanoparticles (Cu2-x S NPs, x = 1-2) is reported. Monodisperse Cu2-x S NPs are uniformly coated on the peptide nanotubes owing to the specific high binding affinity of Cu ions to the imidazole groups exposed on the surface of nanotubes. The Cu2-x S NP-coated PNTs are further covalently grafted with an oxaliplatin prodrug (Pt-CuS-PNTs) to construct a versatile nanoplatform for combination cancer therapy. Upon 808 nm laser illumination, the nanoplatform induces significant hyperthermia effect and elicits reactive oxygen species generation through electron transfer and Fenton-like reaction. It is demonstrated that the versatile nanoplatform dramatically inhibits tumor growth and lung metastasis of melanoma in a B16-F10 melanoma tumor-bearing mouse model by combined photo- and chemotherapy. This study highlights the ability of PNTs for biomineralization of metal ions and the promising potential of such nanoplatforms for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in China. Sorafenib (SRF) is currently the most commonly used systemic agent against advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is the most common type of liver cancer. However, HCC patients have only limited benefit and suffer a serious side effect from SRF. Therefore, new approaches are urgently needed to improve the therapeutic effectiveness of SRF and reduce its side effect. In our current study, we developed a self-imaging and self-delivered nanodrug with SRF and indocyanine (ICG) to improve the therapeutic effect of sorafenib against HCC. With the π-π stacking effect between SRF and ICG, a one-step nanoprecipitation method was designed to obtain the SRF/ICG nanoparticles (SINP) via self-assembly. Pluronic F127 was used to shield the SINP to further improve the stability in an aqueous environment. The stability, photothermal effect, cell uptake, ROS production, cytotoxicity, tumor imaging, and tumor-targeting and tumor-killing efficacy of the SINP were evaluated in vitro and in vivo by using an HCC cell line Huh7 and its xenograft tumor model. We found that our designed SINP showed monodisperse stability and efficient photothermal effect both in vitro and in vivo. SINP could rapidly enter Huh7 cells and achieve potent cytotoxicity under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation partly by producing a great amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). SINP had significantly improved stability and blood half-life, and could specifically target tumor via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect in vivo. In addition, SINP showed improved cytotoxicity in both subcutaneous and orthotopic HCC implantation models in vivo. Overall, this rationally designed sorafenib delivery system with a very high loading capacity (33%) has considerably improved antitumor efficiency in vitro and could completely eliminate subcutaneous tumors without any regrowth in vivo. In conclusion, our self-imaging and self-delivered nanodrug could improve the efficacy of SRF and might be a potential therapy for HCC patients.
