SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308456. [PMID: 38342675 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202308456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
In order to avoid the time-consuming and laborious identification of tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) during the traditional vaccine fabrication process, a versatile photodynamic therapy (PDT)-based method is developed to construct a whole-tumor antigen tumor vaccine (TV) from surgically resected tumor tissues for personalized immunotherapy. Mucoadhesive nanoparticles containing small-molecular photosensitizer are fabricated and directly co-incubated with suspended tumor cells obtained after cytoreduction surgery. After irradiation with a 405 nm laser, potent immunogenic cell death of cancer cells could be induced. Along with the release of TSAs, the as-prepared TV could activate safe and robust tumor-specific immune responses, leading to efficient suppression of postsurgery tumor recurrence and metastasis. The as-prepared TV cannot only be applied alone through various administration routes but also synergize with immunoadjuvant, chemotherapeutics, and immune checkpoint blockers to exert more potent immune responses. This work provides an alternative way to promote the clinical translation of PDT, which is generally restricted by the limited penetration of light. Moreover, the versatile strategy of vaccine fabrication also facilitates the clinical application of personalized whole-cell tumor vaccines.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. While the precise mechanism behind this rapid progression and multifaceted disease remains unknown, the numerous drawbacks of the available therapies are prevalent, necessitating effective alternative treatment methods. In view of the rising demand for effective AD treatment, numerous reports have shown that tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) is a valuable scaffold in various clinical medicinal molecules and has a promising potential as a therapeutic agent in treating AD due to its significant neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative properties via several mechanisms that target the altered signaling pathways. Therefore, this review comprehensively outlines the potential application of THIQ derivatives in AD treatment and the challenges in imparting the action of these prospective therapeutic agents. The review emphasizes a number of THIQ derivatives, including Dauricine, jatrorrhizine, 1MeTIQ, and THICAPA, that have been incorporated in AD studies in recent years. Subsequently, a dedicated section of the review briefly discusses the emerging potential benefits of multi-target therapeutics, which lie in their ability to be integrated with alternative therapeutics. Eventually, this review elaborates on the rising challenges and future recommendations for the development of therapeutic drug agents to treat AD effectively. In essence, the valuable research insights of THIQ derivatives presented in this comprehensive review would serve as an integral reference for future studies to develop potent therapeutic drugs for AD research.

Abstract
Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has received a lot of attention for its potential use in cancer treatment. It enables the therapy of a multifocal disease with the least amount of tissue damage. The most widely used prodrug is 5-aminolevulinic acid, which undergoes heme pathway conversion to protoporphyrin IX, which acts as a photosensitizer (PS). Additionally, hematoporphyrin, bacteriochlorin, and phthalocyanine are also studied for their therapeutic potential in cancer. Unfortunately, not every patient who receives PDT experiences a full recovery. Resistance to different anticancer treatments is commonly observed. A few of the resistance mechanisms by which cancer cells escape therapeutics are genetic factors, drug-drug interactions, impaired DNA repair pathways, mutations related to inhibition of apoptosis, epigenetic pathways, etc. Recently, much research has been conducted to develop a new generation of PS based on nanomaterials that could be used to overcome cancer cells' multidrug resistance (MDR). Various metal-based, polymeric, lipidic nanoparticles (NPs), dendrimers, etc, have been utilized in the PDT application against cancer. This article discusses the detailed mechanism by which cancer cells evolve towards MDR as well as recent advances in PDT-based NPs for use against multidrug-resistant cancers.

Abstract
Constructive achievements in the field of nanobiotechnology and their translation into clinical course have led to increasing attention towards evaluation of their use for treatment of diseases, especially cancer. Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the primary bone malignancies that affects both males and females in childhood and adolescence. Like other types of cancers, genetic and epigenetic mutations account for OS progression and several conventional therapies including chemotherapy and surgery are employed. However, survival rate of OS patients remains low and new therapies in this field are limited. The purpose of the current review is to provide a summary of nanostructures used in OS treatment. Drug and gene delivery by nanoplatforms have resulted in an accumulation of therapeutic agents for tumor cell suppression. Furthermore, co-delivery of genes and drugs by nanostructures are utilized in OS suppression to boost immunotherapy. Since tumor cells have distinct features such as acidic pH, stimuli-responsive nanoparticles have been developed to appropriately target OS. Besides, nanoplatforms can be used for biosensing and providing phototherapy to suppress OS. Furthermore, surface modification of nanoparticles with ligands can increase their specificity and selectivity towards OS cells. Clinical translation of current findings suggests that nanoplatforms have been effective in retarding tumor growth and improving survival of OS patients.

Abstract
Cancer diagnosis and treatment are the most critical challenges in modern medicine. Conventional cancer treatments no longer meet the needs of the health field due to the high rate of mutations and epigenetic factors that have caused drug resistance in tumor cells. Hence, the search for unique methods and factors is quickly expanding. The development of nanotechnology in medicine and the search for a system to integrate treatment and diagnosis to achieve an effective approach to overcome the known limitations of conventional treatment methods have led to the emergence of theranostic nanoparticles and nanosystems based on these nanoparticles. An influential group of these nanoparticles is carbon-based theranostic nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have received significant attention due to their unique properties, such as electrical conductivity, high strength, excellent surface chemistry, and wide range of structural diversity (graphene, nanodiamond, carbon quantum dots, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanohorns). These nanoparticles were widely used in various fields, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, imaging, and biosensors. In this review, we discuss in detail the recent features and advances in carbon-based theranostic nanoparticles and the advanced and diverse strategies used to treat diseases with these nanoparticles.

Abstract
Due to the polygenic and heterogeneous nature of the tumorigenesis process, traditional chemotherapy is far from desirable. Fabricating multifunctional nanoplatforms integrating photodynamic effect can synergistically enhance chemotherapy because they can make the cancer cells much sensitive to chemotherapeutics. However, how to assemble different units in nanoplatforms and minimize side effects caused by chemodrugs and photosensitizers (PSs) still needs to be explored. Herein, a nanoplatform CPP/PS-MIP@DOX is developed using a simultaneously covalently conjugated new aggregation-induced emission (AIE) PS and a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) on the surface of silica-based molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanoparticles, prepared with doxorubicin (DOX) as the template in the water system via a sol-gel technique. CPP/PS-MIP@DOX has good biocompatibility, high DOX-loading ability, promoted cellular uptake, and sustained and pH-sensitive drug release capability. Furthermore, it can efficiently penetrate into tumor tissue, accurately home to, and accumulate at the tumor site. As a result, a better efficacy with lower cytotoxicity is achieved with a smaller dosage of DOX by utilizing either the photodynamic effect or unique characteristics of the MIP. It is the first nanoplatform fabricated by chemically conjugating AIE PSs directly on the surface of the scaffold via the surface-decorated strategy and successfully applied in cancer therapy. This work provides an effective strategy by constructing AIE PS-based cancer nanomedicines with MIPs as scaffolds.

Abstract
The recent COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and arising complications during treatments have highlighted and demonstrated again the evolving ability of microorganisms, especially viral resistance to treatment as they develop into new and strong strains. The search for novel and effective treatments to counter the effects of ever-changing viruses is undergoing. Although it is an approved procedure for treating cancer, photodynamic therapy (PDT) was first used against bacteria and has now shown potential against viruses and certain induced diseases. PDT is a multi-stage process and uses photosensitizing molecules (PSs) that accumulate in diseased tissues and eradicates them after being light-activated in the presence of oxygen. In this review, studies describing viruses and their roles in disrupting cell regulation mechanisms and signaling pathways and facilitating tumorigenesis were described. With the development of innovative “or smart” PSs through the use of nanoparticles and two-photon excitation, among other strategies, PDT can boost immune responses, inactivate viral infections, and eradicate neoplastic cells. Visualization and monitoring of biological processes can be achieved in real-time with nanomedicines and better tissue penetration strategies. After photodynamic inactivation of viruses, signaling pathways seem to be restored but the underlying mechanisms are still to be elucidated. Light-mediated treatments are suitable to manage both oncogenic viral infections and induced neoplasia.

Abstract
As a non-invasive visualization technique, photoluminescence imaging (PLI) has found its huge value in many biological applications associated with intracellular process monitoring and early and accurate diagnosis of diseases. PLI can also be combined with therapeutics to build imaging-guided theragnostic platforms for achieving early and precise treatment of diseases. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a quintessential phototheranostics technology has gained great benefits from the combination with PLI. Recently, aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active materials have emerged as one of the most promising bioimaging and phototheranostic agents. Most of AIEgens, however, need to be chemically engineered to form versatile nanocomposites with improved their photophysical property, photochemical activity, biocompatibility, etc. In this review, we focus on three categories of AIE-active nanocomposites and highlight their application progresses in the intracellular biological process monitoring and PLI-guided PDT. We hope this review can guide further development of AIE-active nanocomposites and promote their practical applications for monitoring intracellular biological processes and imaging-guided PDT.

Abstract
Cancer remains a serious threat to human health owing to the lack of effective treatments. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising non-invasive cancer treatment that consists of three main elements: photosensitizers (PSs), light and oxygen. However, some traditional PSs are prone to aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), leading to reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-PSs, due to their distorted structure, suppress the strong molecular interactions, making them more photosensitive in the aggregated state instead. Activated by light, they can efficiently produce ROS and induce cell death. PS is one of the core factors of efficient PDT, so proceeding from the design and preparation of AIE-PSs, including how to manipulate the electron donor (D) and receptor (A) in the PSs configuration, introduce heavy atoms or metal complexes, design of Type I AIE-PSs, polymerization-enhanced photosensitization and nano-engineering approaches. Then, the preclinical experiments of AIE-PSs in treating different types of tumors, such as ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and its great potential clinical applications are discussed. In addition, some perspectives on the further development of AIE-PSs are presented. This review hopes to stimulate the interest of researchers in different fields such as chemistry, materials science, biology, and medicine, and promote the clinical translation of AIE-PSs.

Abstract
Photo-driven theranostics, also known as phototheranostics, relying on the diverse excited-state energy conversions of theranostic agents upon photoexcitation represents a significant branch of theranostics, which ingeniously integrate diagnostic imaging and therapeutic interventions into a single formulation. The combined merits of photoexcitation and theranostics endow photo-driven theranostics with numerous superior features. The applications of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens), a particular category of fluorophores, in the field of photo-driven theranostics have been intensively studied by virtue of their versatile advantageous merits of favorable biocompatibility, tuneable photophysical properties, unique aggregation-enhanced theranostic (AET) features, ideal AET-favored on-site activation ability and ready construction of one-for-all multimodal theranostics. This review summarised the significant achievements of photo-driven theranostics based on AIEgens, which were detailedly elaborated and classified by their diverse theranostic modalities into three groups: fluorescence imaging-guided photodynamic therapy, photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy, and multi-modality theranostics. Particularly, the tremendous advantages and individual design strategies of AIEgens in pursuit of high-performance photosensitizing output, high photothermal conversion and multimodal function capability by adjusting the excited-state energy dissipation pathways are emphasized in each section. In addition to highlighting AIEgens as promising templates for modulating energy dissipation in the application of photo-driven theranostics, current challenges and opportunities in this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Cancer is the second most common cause of death worldwide, having its origin in the abnormal growth of cells. Available chemotherapeutics still present major drawbacks, usually associated with high toxicity and poor distribution, with only a small fraction of drugs reaching the tumour sites. Thus, it is urgent to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Cancer cells can reprogram their lipid metabolism to sustain uncontrolled proliferation, and, therefore, accumulate a higher amount of lipid droplets (LDs). LDs are cytoplasmic organelles that store neutral lipids and are hypothesized to sequester anti-cancer drugs, leading to reduced efficacy. Thus, the increased biogenesis of LDs in neoplastic conditions makes them suitable targets for anticancer therapy and for the development of new dyes for cancer cells imaging. In recent years, cancer nanotherapeutics offered some exciting possibilities, including improvement tumour detection and eradication. In this review we summarize LDs biogenesis, structure and composition, and highlight their role in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Within phototherapy, a grand challenge in clinical cancer treatments is to develop a simple, cost-effective, and biocompatible approach to treat this disease using ultra-low doses of light. Carbon-based materials (CBM), such as graphene oxide (GO), reduced GO (r-GO), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and carbon dots (C-DOTs), are rapidly emerging as a new class of therapeutic materials against cancer. This review summarizes the progress made in recent years regarding the applications of CBM in photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) therapies for tumor destruction. The current understanding of the performance of modified CBM, hybrids and composites, is also addressed. This approach seeks to achieve an enhanced antitumor action by improving and modulating the properties of CBM to treat various types of cancer. Metal oxides, organic molecules, biopolymers, therapeutic drugs, among others, have been combined with CBM to treat cancer by PDT, PTT, or synergistic therapies.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules, serve the normal signaling in different cell types. Targeting ROS as the chemical signals, different stress based strategies have been developed to synthesis different anti-inflammatory molecules in microalgae. These molecules could be utilized as health supplements in human. To provoke the ROS-mediated defence systems, their connotation with the associated conditions must be well understood, therefore, proper tools for studying ROS in natural state are essential. The in vivo detection of ROS with phosphorescent probes offers promising opportunities to study these molecules in a non-invasive manner. Most of the common problems in the traditional fluorescent probes are lower photostability, excitation intensity, slow responsiveness, and the microenvironment that challenge their performance. Some ROS-specific aggregationinduced emission luminogens (AIEgens) with pronounced spatial and temporal resolution have recently demonstrated high selectivity, rapid responsiveness, and efficacies to resolve the aggregation-caused quenching issues. The nanocomposites of some AIE-photosensitizers can also improve the ROS-mediated photodynamic therapy. These AIEgens could be used to induce bioactive components in microalgae through altering the ROS signaling, therefore are more auspicious for biomedical research. This study reviews the prospects of AIEgen-based technologies to understand the ROS mediated bio-physiological processes in microalgae for better healthcare benefits.

Abstract
Image-guided therapy, with simultaneous imaging and therapy functions, has the potential to greatly enhance the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer therapy, and reduce the incidence of side effects. Fluorescence imaging has the advantages of easy operation, abundant signal, high contrast, and fast response for real-time and non-invasive tracking. Luminogens with aggregation-induced emission characteristics (AIEgens) can emit strong luminescence in an aggregate state, which makes them ideal materials to construct applicative fluorophores for fluorescence imaging. The opportunity for image-guided cancer treatment has inspired researchers to explore the theranostic application of AIEgens combined with other therapy methods. In recent years, many AIEgens with efficient photosensitizing or photothermal abilities have been designed by precise molecular engineering, with superior performance in image-guided anticancer therapy. Owing to the hydrophobic property of most AIEgens, an assembly approach has been wildly utilized to construct biocompatible AIEgen-based nanostructures in aqueous systems, which can be used for image-guided anticancer therapy. In the present review, we summarize the recent advances in the assembled AIEgens for image-guided anticancer therapy. Five types of image-guided anticancer therapy using assembled AIEgens are included: chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, gene therapy, and synergistic therapy. Moreover, a brief conclusion with the discussion of current challenges and future perspectives in this area is further presented.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterials are emerging as promising candidates for a wide range of biomedical applications including tissue engineering, biosensing, pathogen incapacitation, wound healing, and gene and drug delivery. Graphene, due to its high surface area, photothermal property, high loading capacity, and efficient cellular uptake, is at the forefront of these materials and plays a key role in this multidisciplinary research field. Poor water dispersibility and low functionality of graphene, however, hamper its hybridization into new nanostructures for future nanomedicine. Functionalization of graphene, either by covalent or non-covalent methods, is the most useful strategy to improve its dispersion in water and functionality as well as processability into new materials and devices. In this review, recent advances in functionalization of graphene derivatives by different (macro)molecules for future biomedical applications are reported and explained. In particular, hydrophilic functionalization of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) to improve their water dispersibility and physicochemical properties is discussed. We have focused on the anticancer drug delivery of polyfunctional graphene sheets.

Abstract
Background Paclitaxel (PTX) has been suggested to be a promising front-line drug for gastric cancer (GC), while P-glycoprotein (P-gp) could lead to drug resistance by pumping PTX out of GC cells. Consequently, it might be a hopeful way to combat drug resistance by inhibiting the out-pumping function of P-gp. Results In this study, we developed a drug delivery system incorporating PTX onto polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified and oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)-functionalized graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets (NSs), called PTX@GO-PEG-OSA. Owing to pH/thermal-sensitive drug release properties, PTX@GO-PEG-OSA could induced more obvious antitumor effects on GC, compared to free PTX. With near infrared (NIR)-irradiation, PTX@GO-PEG-OSA could generate excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), attack mitochondrial respiratory chain complex enzyme, reduce adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) supplement for P-gp, and effectively inhibit P-gp’s efflux pump function. Since that, PTX@GO-PEG-OSA achieved better therapeutic effect on PTX-resistant GC without evident toxicity. Conclusions In conclusion, PTX@GO-PEG-OSA could serve as a desirable strategy to reverse PTX’s resistance, combined with chemo/photothermal/photodynamic therapy. Graphic Abstract ![]()

Abstract
In recent years, supramolecular systems for nano-medicine, and in particular for
photodynamic therapy, have gained great attention for their uses as smart and engineered
therapeutic agents. We proposed a collection of very recent articles on supramolecular complexes
for photodynamic therapy based on different photosensitizers assembled with cyclodextrins,
cucurbiturils, calixarenes, pillararenes, or involved in nanobox and tweezer structures,
nanoparticles, aggregates and micelles, that are dynamic assemblies inspired to biological
systems. Despite the advantages of traditional Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which is a
non-invasive, reliable and highly selective clinical treatment for several pathological conditions,
different drawbacks are still smothering the applicability of this clinical treatment. In
this contest, a new supramolecular approach is emerging, in fact, the reversible formation of
these supramolecular assemblies, combined with the possibility to modify their dimensions and shapes in the presence
of a guest make them similar to biological macromolecules, such as proteins and enzymes. Furthermore, due to
the relatively weak and dynamic nature of supramolecular assemblies, they can undergo assembly and disassembly
very fast as well as responses to external stimuli, such as biological (e.g. enzyme activation), chemical (e.g. redox
potential or pH), and physical (e.g. temperature, light or magnetic fields). Therefore, the responsiveness of these supramolecular
assemblies represents a highly promising approach to obtain potentially personalized PDT.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma serves as a prevalent bone cancer with a high metastasis and common drug resistance, resulting in poor prognosis and high mortality. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a patient-specific and non-invasive tumor therapy. Nanoparticles, like graphene oxide have been widely used in drug delivery and PDT. Ginsenoside Rg3 is a principal ginseng component and has presented significant anti-cancer activities. Here, we constructed the nanoparticles using GO linked with photosensitizer (PS) indocyanine green (ICG), folic acid, and polyethylene glycol (PEG), and loaded with Rg3 (PEG–GO–FA/ICG–Rg3). We aimed to explore the effect of PEG–GO–FA/ICG–Rg3 combined with PDT for the treatment of osteosarcoma. Significantly, we found that Rg3 repressed proliferation, invasion, and migration, and enhanced apoptosis and autophagy of osteosarcoma cells, while the PEG–GO–FA/ICG–Rg3 presented a higher activity, in which NIR laser co-treatment could remarkably increase the effect of PEG–GO–FA/ICG–Rg3. Meanwhile, stemness of osteosarcoma cell–derived cancer stem cells was inhibited by Rg3 and PEG–GO–FA/ICG–Rg3, and the combination of PEG–GO–FA/ICG–Rg3 with NIR laser further significantly attenuated this phenotype in the system. Moreover, NIR laser notably improved the inhibitor effect of PEG–GO–FA/ICG–Rg3 on the tumor growth of osteosarcoma cells in vivo. Consequently, we concluded that PEG–GO–FA/ICG–Rg3 improved PDT in inhibiting malignant progression and stemness of osteosarcoma cell. Our finding provides a promising and practical therapeutic strategy for the combined treatment of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Multi-photon photosensitizers (PSs) could significantly improve the efficacy of photodynamic therapy due to the long-wavelength favorability for deeper tissue penetration and lower biological damage. However, most studies are limited to single-photon or two-photon PSs at a relatively short-wave excitation window. To overcome this barrier, we rationally design a series of rigid plane compounds with efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro under laser irradiation. Furthermore, the studies show that one of the compounds (U-TsO) could induce rapid multi-types of cell death under three-photon exposure, suggesting a promising clinical outcome in ex vivo 3D multicellular tumor spheroid. This work offers a novel strategy to construct functional materials with competitive multi-photon photodynamic therapy (PDT) outcome.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized by progressive cognitive and memory-related impairment. However, current therapeutic treatments have not proved sufficiently effective, mainly due to the complicated pathogenesis of the disease. In this study, a nano-formulation of graphene oxide (GO) loaded with dauricine (Dau) was investigated in terms of the combined anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects of Dau and the inhibition of misfolding and aggregation of the amyloid-β (Aβ) protein by GO. Both in vivo and in vitro models were induced using Aβ1-42, and the formulation was administered nasally in mice. The results showed that GO loaded with Dau greatly reduced oxidative stress through increasing superoxide dismutase levels and decreasing reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde levels in vitro; it also alleviated the cognitive memory deficits and brain glial cell activation in mice with Aβ1-42-induced AD. This proved that GO loaded with Dau could protect against Aβ1-42-induced oxidative damage and apoptosis in both in vitro and in vivo AD models; therefore, GO loaded with Dau has the potential to be an effective and agent for the rapid treatment of AD.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2021; 248:119173.

Abstract
Hypericin (Hy) compound presents a high photoactivity in photodynamic therapy (PDT), photodiagnosis and theranostics applications. The maintenance of this compound in monomeric form could undermine the potential benefits of its photophysical and photodynamic activity. In this study, we demonstrated that the Hy formulated in a system based on the use of the F127 copolymer and the 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-3-glycerol-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) as micelles, liposomal vesicles and Copolymer-Lipid coated systems, have improved its photophysical properties for many clinical modalities. Based on the results of the triplet state lifetime values (τt), the singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ1O2), the fluorescence lifetime (τF) and the fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF), all Hy formulations had its photophysical properties described in different models of drug delivery systems (DDS). In addition, the transient spectra profile of those formulations was unaffected by the Hy incorporation process, except for the liposomal system, which demonstrated to be the less stable one by flash photolysis technique. The cytotoxic effects of those formulations were also investigated for CaCo-2 and HaCat cells line. The cytotoxic concentrations for 50% (CC50) were 0.56, 1.05, 1.33 and 4.80 µmol L-1 for Copolymer-Lipid/Hy, DPPC/Hy, F127/Hy and ethanol/Hy for CaCo-2 cells, respectively, and 0.69, 2.02, 1.45 and 1.16 µmol L-1 for Copolymer-Lipid/Hy, DPPC/Hy, F127/Hy and ethanol/Hy for HaCat cells, respectively. The F127 copolymer had a significant role in many photophysical parameters determined for Copolymer-Lipid/Hy coated system. Although all those formulations had shown satisfactory results, Copolymer-Lipid/Hy proved to be superior in many aspects, being the most promising formulation for PDT, photodiagnosis and theranostics applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) works through photoactivation of a specific photosensitizer (PS) in a tumor in the presence of oxygen. PDT is widely applied in oncology to treat various cancers as it has a minimally invasive procedure and high selectivity, does not interfere with other treatments, and can be repeated as needed. A large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and singlet oxygen is generated in a cancer cell during PDT, which destroys the tumor effectively. However, the efficacy of PDT in treating a deep-seated tumor is limited due to three main reasons: Limited light penetration depth, low oxygen concentration in the hypoxic core, and poor PS accumulation inside a tumor. Thus, PDT treatments are only approved for superficial and thin tumors. With the advancement of nanotechnology, PDT to treat deep-seated or thick tumors is becoming a reachable goal. In this review, we provide an update on the strategies for improving PDT with nanomedicine using different sophisticated-design nanoparticles, including two-photon excitation, X-ray activation, targeting tumor cells with surface modification, alteration of tumor cell metabolism pathways, release of therapeutic gases, improvement of tumor hypoxia, and stimulation of host immunity. We focus on the difficult-to-treat pancreatic cancer as a model to demonstrate the influence of advanced nanomedicine in PDT. A bright future of PDT application in the treatment of deep-seated tumors is expected.

Abstract
Magnetic-fluorescent nanoparticles integrating imaging and therapeutic capabilities have unparalleled advantages in the biomedical applications. Apart from the dual ability of unique biomolecular fluorescent recognition and magnetic modes, the nanoparticle also endows combined effective therapies with high physiological stability, long-term imaging, rapid response time, and excellent circulation ability. Herein, we developed a carboxyl-functionalized magnetic nanoparticle that was further functionalized by polydopamine (PDA) and Schiff base ligand (3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone, HL) to form multilayered coating single nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PDA@HL). Our work showed that the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect could be produced by embedding In3+ into the Fe3O4@PDA@HL nanostructure, which offered a new opportunity for utilization as a fluorescent detection and therapeutic platform. Cellular fluorescent imaging experiments provided bacterial cell biodistribution, demonstrating their excellent luminescent performance, magnetic aggregation, and separation capability. We simultaneously confirmed that the synergistic antibacterial effect was closely related to both Fe3O4@PDA@HL and In3+, leading to the disruption of membrane integrity and the leakage of intracellular components, thus inducing bacterial death. This approach presented in our work could promote the development of future bioimaging and clinical therapy applications.

Abstract
Efficient organic photosensitizers (PSs) have attracted much attention because of their promising applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, guidelines on their molecular design are rarely reported. In this work, a series of PSs are designed and synthesized based on a triphenylamine-azafluorenone core. Their structure-property-application relationships are systematically studied. Cationization is an effective strategy to enhance the PDT efficiency of PSs by targeting mitochondria. From the molecularly dispersed state to the aggregate state, the fluorescence and the reactive oxygen species generation efficiency of PSs with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) increase due to the restriction of the intramolecular motions and enhancement of intersystem crossing. Cationized mitochondrion-targeting PSs show higher PDT efficiency than that of nonionized ones targeting lipid droplets. The ability of AIE PSs to kill cancer cells can be further enhanced by combination of PDT with radiotherapy. Such results should trigger research enthusiasm for designing and synthesizing AIE PSs with better PDT efficiency and properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficient and highly controllable antibacterial effect, as well as good biocompatibility are required for antibacterial materials to overcome multi-drug resistance in bacteria. Herein, nano graphene oxide (NGO)-based near-infrared (NIR) photothermal antibacterial materials was schemed to complex with biocompatible bovine serum albumin (BSA) and aggregation-induced emission fluorogen (AIEgen) with daylight-stimulated ROS-producing property for dual-mode phototherapy in the treatment of antibiotic resistance bacteria. RESULTS Upon co-irradiation of daylight and NIR laser, NGO-BSA-AIE nanoparticles (NPs) showed superiorly antibacterial effect (more than 99%) both against amoxicillin (AMO)-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by comparison with sing-model phototherapy. Meanwhile, the NGO-BSA-AIE NPs displayed prominent stability and excellently controllable biocompatibility. More importantly, under daylight irradiation, the AIEgen not only produced plentiful ROS for killing bacteria, but also presented fluorescence image for tracking bacteria. CONCLUSIONS Hence, the designed system provided tempting strategy of employing light as impetus for tracking bacterial distribution and photothermal/photodynamic synergistic treatment of antibiotic resistance antibacterial.

Abstract
Photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of gold nanorods (GNRs) can be tuned by enlarging the aspect ratio and forming the core-shell structure. Herein, an easy synthesis method is developed to construct the core-shell GNR@LDH nanostructure with GNRs and layered double hydroxides (LDHs). The interaction between Au and LDHs results some electron deficiency on the surface of Au and the more electrons induce more thermal energy conversion. The η value of GNR@LDH can reach up to 60% under the 808 nm laser irradiation, which is a significant enhanced conversion efficiency compared with the reported GNR-based photothermal therapy materials. CTAB (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide) can be replaced totally during the synthesis process, and GNRs maintain a good dispersion in LDHs. This core-shell composite GNR@LDH can be applied in photothermal, antibacterial, tumor therapy and biological imaging with low dosage and nontoxicity.

Abstract
Engineering of water-dispersible Gd3+ ions-decorated reduced graphene oxide (Gd-rGO) nanosheets (NSs) has been performed. The multifunctional capability of the sample was studied as a novel contrast agent for swept source optical coherence tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and also as an efficient drug-delivery nanovehicle. The synthesized samples were fabricated in a chemically stable condition, and efforts have been put toward improving its biocompatibility by functionalizing with carbohydrates molecules. Gd incorporation in rGO matrix enhanced the fluorouracil (5-FU) drug loading capacity by 34%. The release of the drug was ∼92% within 72 h. Gd-rGO nanosheets showed significant contrast in comparison to optically responsive bare GO for swept source optical coherence tomography. The longitudinal relaxivity rate (r 1) of 16.85 mM-1 s-1 for Gd-rGO was recorded, which was 4 times larger than that of the commercially used clinical contrast agent Magnevist (4 mM-1 s-1) at a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T.

Abstract
An aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE)-active fluorescent sensor based on a tetraphenylethene (TPE) unit has been successfully designed and synthesized. Interestingly, the luminogen could detect Hg2+ with high selectivity in an acetonitrile solution without interference from other competitive metal ions, and the detection limit was 7.46 × 10−6 mol L−1. Furthermore, the luminogen also showed interesting solvatochromic behavior and superior cell imaging performance. A TPE-based AIEE-active fluorescent sensor for Hg2+ was synthesized. Furthermore, it showed solvatochromism and cell imaging characteristics.![]()

Abstract
Synergistic treatment strategies for cancer have attracted increasing attention owing to their enhanced therapeutic effects compared with monotherapy. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging and thriving in situ treatment for cancer owing to its high regioselectivity and activation only by endogenous substances. However, the therapeutic effects of CDT are hindered by low reaction speeds. Here, ultrasmall WO3- x@γ-poly-l-glutamic acid (WO3- x@γ-PGA) nanoparticles (NPs) with good photoacoustic and photothermal properties were prepared, and their chemodynamic performance based on a Fenton-like reaction was explored due to its good catalytic effect. The synergistic treatment effect was also investigated by photothermal-enhanced CDT based on single WO3- x@γ-PGA NPs using a penetrating near-infrared-II laser both in vitro and in vivo. This work provides an effective treatment for cancer and further develops the CDT.
