Abstract
Bacterial infections pose a seriously threat to the safety of the environment and human health. In particular, the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens as a result of antibiotic abuse and high trauma risk has rendered conventional therapeutic techniques insufficient for treating infections by these so-called "superbugs". Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop highly efficient and environmentally-friendly antimicrobial agents. Bismuth-based nanomaterials with unique structures and physicochemical characteristics have attracted considerable attention as promising antimicrobial candidates, with many demonstratingoutstanding antibacterial effects upon being triggered by broad-spectrum light. These nanomaterials have also exhibited satisfactory energy band gaps and electronic density distribution with improved photonic properties for extensive and comprehensive applications after being modified through various engineering methods. This review summarizes the latest research progress made on bismuth-based nanomaterials with different morphologies, structures and compositions as well as the different methods used for their synthesis to meet their rapidly increasing demand, especially for antibacterial applications. Moreover, the future prospects and challenges regarding the application of these nanomaterials are discussed. The aim of this review is to stimulate interest in the development and experimental transformation of novel bismuth-based nanomaterials to expand the arsenal of effective antimicrobials.

Abstract
Immunotherapy harnesses the inherent immune system in the body to generate systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising modality for defending against cancer. However, tumor immunosuppression and evasion seriously restrict the immune response rates in clinical settings. Catalytic nanomedicines can transform tumoral substances/metabolites into therapeutic products in situ, offering unique advantages in antitumor immunotherapy. Through catalytic reactions, both tumor eradication and immune regulation can be simultaneously achieved, favoring the development of systemic antitumor immunity. In recent years, with advancements in catalytic chemistry and nanotechnology, catalytic nanomedicines based on nanozymes, photocatalysts, sonocatalysts, Fenton catalysts, electrocatalysts, piezocatalysts, thermocatalysts and radiocatalysts have been rapidly developed with vast applications in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides an introduction to the fabrication of catalytic nanomedicines with an emphasis on their structures and engineering strategies. Furthermore, the catalytic substrates and state-of-the-art applications of nanocatalysts in cancer immunotherapy have also been outlined and discussed. The relationships between nanostructures and immune regulating performance of catalytic nanomedicines are highlighted to provide a deep understanding of their working mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, the challenges and development trends are revealed, aiming to provide new insights for the future development of nanocatalysts in catalytic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a key pillar of solid cancer treatment. Despite a high level of conformal dose deposition, radiotherapy is limited due to co-irradiation of organs at risk and subsequent normal tissue toxicities. Nanotechnology offers an attractive opportunity for increasing the efficacy and safety of cancer radiotherapy. Leveraging the freedom of design and the growing synthetic capabilities of the nanomaterial-community, a variety of engineered nanomaterials have been designed and investigated as radiosensitizers or radioenhancers. While research so far has been primarily focused on gold nanoparticles and other high atomic number materials to increase the absorption cross section of tumor tissue, recent studies are challenging the traditional concept of high-Z nanoparticle radioenhancers and highlight the importance of catalytic activity. This review provides a concise overview on the knowledge of nanoparticle radioenhancement mechanisms and their quantification. It critically discusses potential radioenhancer candidate materials and general design criteria for different radiation therapy modalities, and concludes with research priorities in order to advance the development of nanomaterials, to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy and to increase at the same time the therapeutic window.

Abstract
Finding effective strategies to design efficient photocatalysts and decompose refractory organic compounds in wastewater is a challenging problem. Herein, by coupling element doping and constructing heterostructures, S-scheme CdS QDs/La-Bi2WO6 (CS/LBWO) photocatalysts are designed and synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. As a result, the RhB degradation efficiency of the optimized 5% CS/LBWO reached 99% within 70 min of illumination with excellent stability and recyclability. CS/LBWO shows improvement in the adsorption range of visible light and promotes electron-hole pair generation/migration/separation, attributing the superior degradation performance. The degradation RhB mechanism is proposed by a free radical capture experiment, electron paramagnetic resonance, and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry results, indicating that h+ and •O2 - play a significant role during four degradation processes: de-ethylation, chromophore cleavage, ring opening, and mineralization. Based on in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Mulliken electronegativity theory, and the work function results, the S-scheme heterojunction of CS/LBWO promotes the transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and promotes the generation of reactive radicals. This work not only reports that 5% CS/LBWO is a promising photocatalyst for degradation experiments but also provides an approach to design advanced photocatalysts by coupling element doping and constructing heterostructures.

Abstract
The intrinsic high X-ray attenuation and insignificant biological toxicity of Bi-based nanomaterials make them a category of advanced materials in oncology. Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials have gained rapid development in cancer diagnosis and treatment owing to their adjustable bandgap structure, high specific surface area and strong NIR absorption. In addition to the single functional cancer diagnosis and treatment modalities, Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials have been certified for accomplishing multi-imaging guided multifunctional synergistic cancer therapies. In this review, we summarize the recent progress including controllable synthesis, defect engineering and surface modifications of Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and treatment in the past ten years. Their medical applications in cancer imaging and therapies are also presented. Finally, we discuss the potential challenges and future research priorities of Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials.

Abstract
The low X-ray attenuation coefficient of tumor soft tissue and the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) during radiation therapy (RT) of breast cancer result in RT resistance and thus reduced therapeutic efficacy. In addition, immunosuppression induced by the TME severely limits the antitumor immunity of radiation therapy. In this paper, we propose a PCN-224@IrNCs/D-Arg nanoplatform for the synergistic radiosensitization, photodynamic, and NO therapy of breast cancer that also boosts antitumor immunity (PCN = porous coordination network, IrNCs = iridium nanocrystals, D-Arg = D-arginine). The local tumors can be selectively ablated via reprogramming the tumor microenvironment (TME), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and NO therapy, and the presence of the high-Z element Ir that sensitizes radiotherapy. The synergistic execution of these treatment modalities also resulted in adapted antitumor immune response. The intrinsic immunomodulatory effects of the nanoplatform also repolarize macrophages toward the M1 phenotype and induce dendritic cell maturation, activating antitumor T cells to induce immunogenic cell death as demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The nanocomposite design reported herein represents a new regimen for the treatment of breast cancer through TME reprogramming to exert a synergistic effect for effective cancer therapy and antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is regarded as a new-rising strategy for cancer treatment with low invasiveness and high tissue penetration, but the scarcity of high-efficiency sonosensitizers has seriously hindered its application. Herein, the iron-doped and oxygen-deficient bismuth tungstate nanosheets (BWO-Fe NSs) with piezotronic effect are synthesized for enhanced SDT. Due to the existence of oxygen defects introduced through Fe doping, the bandgap of BWO-Fe is significantly narrowed so that BWO-Fe can be more easily activated by exogenous ultrasound (US). The oxygen defects acting as the electron traps inhibit the recombination of US-induced electrons and holes. More importantly, the dynamically renewed piezoelectric potential facilitates the migration of electrons and holes to opposite side and causes energy band bending, which further promotes the production of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, Fe doping endows BWO-Fe with Fenton reactivity, which converts hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) in tumor microenvironment into hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thereby amplifying the cellular oxidative damage and enhancing SDT. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments illustrate their high cytotoxicity and tumor suppression rate against refractory breast cancer in mice. This work may provide an alternative strategy to develop oxygen-deficient piezoelectric sonosensitizers for enhanced SDT via doping metal ions.

Abstract
Constructing visible-light driven semiconductor heterojunction with high redox bifunctional characteristics is a promising approach to deal with the increasingly serious environmental pollution problems, especially the coexistence of organic/heavy metal pollutants. Herein, a simple in-situ interfacial engineering strategy for the fabrication of 0D/3D hierarchical Bi2WO6@CoO (BWO) heterojunction with an intimate contact interface was successfully developed. The superior photocatalytic property was reflected not only in individual tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) oxidation or Cr(VI) reduction, but also in their simultaneous redox reaction, which could be predominantly attributed to the outstanding light-harvesting, high carrier separation efficiency and enough redox potentials. In the simultaneous redox system, TCH acted as a hole-scavenger for Cr(VI) reduction, replacing the additional reagent. Interestingly, superoxide radical (·O2-) played the role as oxidants in TCH oxidation but as electron transfer media in Cr(VI) reduction. On account of the interlaced energy band and tight interfacial contact, a direct Z-scheme charge transfer model was established, which was verified by the active species trapping experiments, spectroscopy, and electrochemical tests. This work provided a promising strategy for the design/fabrication of highly efficient direct Z-scheme photocatalysts in environmental remediation.

[PMID: 37139612 DOI: 10.1049/nbt2.12134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023] Open
Abstract
About 50% of cancer patients receive radiation therapy. Despite the therapeutic benefits of this method, the toxicity of radiation in the normal tissues is unavoidable To improve the quality of radiation therapy, in addition to other methods such as IMRT, IGRT, and high radiation dose, nanoparticles have shown excellent potential when ionising radiation is applied to the target volume. Recently, bismuth-based nanoparticles (BiNPs) have become particularly popular in radiation therapy due to their high atomic numbers (Z), high X-ray attenuation coefficient, low toxicity, and low cost. Moreover, it is easy to synthesise in a variety of sizes and shapes. This study aimed to review the effects of the bismuth-based NP and its combination with other compounds, and their potential synergies in radiotherapy, discussed based on their physical, chemical, and biological interactions. Targeted and non-targeted bismuth-based NPs used in radiotherapy as radiosensitizers and dose enhancement effects are described. The results reported in the literature were categorised into various groups. Also, this review has highlighted the importance of bismuth-based NPs in different forms of cancer treatment to find the highest efficiency for applying them as a suitable candidate for various cancer therapy and future clinical applications.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive catalytic therapy based on nano-catalysts has attracted much attention in the field of biomedicine for tumor therapy, due to its excellent and unique properties. However, the complex tumor microenvironment conditions and the rapid charge recombination in the catalyst limit catalytic therapy's effectiveness and further development. Effective heterojunction nanomaterials are constructed to address these problems to improve catalytic performance. Specifically, on the one hand, the band gap of the material is adjusted through the heterojunction structure to promote the charge separation efficiency under exogenous stimulation and further improve the catalytic capacity. On the other hand, the construction of a heterojunction structure can not only preserve the function of the original catalyst but also achieve significantly enhanced synergistic therapy ability. This review summarized the construction and functions of stimuli-responsive heterojunction nanomaterials under the excitation of X-rays, visible-near infrared light, and ultrasound in recent years, and further introduces their application in cancer therapy. Hopefully, the summary of stimuli-responsive heterojunction nanomaterials' applications will help researchers promote the development of nanomaterials in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Oral cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial region, which seriously threatens the health of patients. At present, radiotherapy is one of the commonly used methods for oral cancer treatment. However, the resistance of cancerous tissues to ionizing radiation, as well as the side effects of X-rays on healthy tissues, still limit the application of radiotherapy. Therefore, how to effectively solve the above problems is still a challenge at present. Generally speaking, elements with high atomic numbers, such as bismuth, tungsten, and iodine, have a high X-ray attenuation capacity. Using nanomaterials containing these elements as radiosensitizers can greatly improve the radiotherapy effect. At the same time, the modification of nanomaterials based on the above elements with the biocompatible polymer can effectively reduce the side effects of radiosensitizers, providing a new method for the realization of efficient and safe radiotherapy for oral cancer. In this work, we prepared Tween-20-modified BiVO4 nanorods (Tw20-BiVO4 NRs) and further used them in the radiotherapy of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Tw20-BiVO4 NRs are promising radiosensitizers, which can generate a large number of free radicals under X-rays, leading to the damage of cancer cells and thus playing a role in tumor therapy. In cell experiments, radiotherapy sensitization of Tw20-BiVO4 NRs significantly enhanced the production of free radicals in oral cancer cells, aggravated the destruction of chromosomes, and improved the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy. In animal experiments, the strong X-ray absorption ability of Tw20-BiVO4 NRs makes them effective contrast agents in computed tomography (CT) imaging. After the tumors are located by CT imaging, it helps to apply precise radiotherapy; the growth of subcutaneous tumors in nude mice was significantly inhibited, confirming the remarkable effect of CT imaging-guided radiotherapy.

Abstract
Rapid wound closure and bacterial inactivation are effective strategies to promote wound healing. Herein, a versatile nanoglue, bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6)-silver sulfide (Ag2S) direct Z-scheme heterostructure nanoparticles (BWOA NPs), was designed to accelerate wound healing. BWOA NPs' hollow structure and rough surface could effectively close wound tissues acting as a barrier between external bacteria and the wound. More importantly, the unique Z-scheme heterostructure endows BWOA NPs with an effective electron and hole separating ability with potent redox potential, where electrons and holes could effectively react with water and oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species, leading to a higher antibacterial activity against both endogenous and external bacteria at the wound site. A series of in vitro and in vivo biological assessments demonstrated that BWOA NPs could rapidly close wounds and promote wound healing. With sunlight irradiation, the inhibiting rates of BWOA NPs against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are 61.62 ± 2.85 and 73.40 ± 3.28%, respectively. Also, the wound healing rate in BWOA NP-treated mice is 25.90 ± 5.85% higher than PBS. This design provides a new effective strategy to promote bacterial inactivation and accelerate wound healing.

Abstract
The local hypoxic tumor environment substantially hampers the therapeutic efficiency of radiotherapy, which typically requires the large X-ray doses for tumor treatment but induces the serious side effects. Herein, a biomimetic radiosensitized platform based on a natural in-situ oxygen-evolving photosynthetic cyanobacteria combined with two-dimensional (2D) bismuthene with high atomic-number (Z) components, is designed and engineered to effectively modulate the radiotherapy-resistant hypoxic tumor environment and achieve sufficient radiation energy deposition into tumor. Upon the exogenous sequential irradiation of 660 nm laser and X-ray beam, continuous photosynthetic oxygen evolution by the cyanobacteria and considerable generation of reactive oxygen species by the 2D bismuthene radiosensitizer substantially augmented the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy and suppressed the in vivo tumor growth, as demonstrated on both LLC-lung tumor xenograft-bearing C57/B6 mice model and 4T1-breast tumor xenograft-bearing Balb/c mice model, further demonstrating the photosynthetic hypoxia-alleviation capability and radiosensitization performance of the engineered biomimetic radiosensitized platform. This work exemplifies a distinct paradigm on the construction of microorganism-enabled tumor-microenvironment modulation and nanoradiosensitizer-augmented radiotherapy for efficient tumor treatment. The unique microorganism-based and 2D bismuthene-mediated biomimetic radiosensitization platform has been engineered for enhanced tumor nanotherapy. The photosynthetic production of oxygen has been utilized via natural microorganism cyanobacteria to effectively modulate the radiotherapy-resistant hypoxic tumor environment with high biocompatibility. The biomimetic dual-radiosensitized platform has achieved sufficient radiation energy deposition for inducing overproduction of reactive oxygen species to augment the RT efficacy.

Abstract
The further bioapplications of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) were hindered by the inadequate efficiency and poor degradability of sonosensitizers and the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME). Therefore, it is ideal to develop pH-sensitive sonosensitizers that generate abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) and rapidly degrade in a neutral environment while slowly degrading in an acidic environment to reduce their long-term toxicity. Herein, the defective tungsten oxide nanobelts (WOx NBs) were developed as a type of pH-sensitive and biodegradable sonosensitizers with a high SDT efficiency and low toxicity for enhanced SDT. The defective oxygen sites of WOx NBs could inhibit the recombination of electrons and holes, making WOx NBs promising sonosensitizers that could generate abundant ROS under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Enhanced by the catalase (CAT) that reacted with H2O2 to generate O2, the WOx NBs exhibited better SDT performance against 4T1 cells in both normoxic and hypoxic environments. In addition, the WOx NBs could degrade by releasing protons (H+), resulting in intracellular acidification and inhibited cell motility that further enhanced the therapeutic effects of SDT. Assisted with CAT and ALG for hypoxia refinement and better retention, the WOx NBs enabled effective SDT and antimetastasis against 4T1 tumors in vivo. Most importantly, the WOx NBs could degrade rapidly in normal tissues but slowly in an acidic TME, which was favorable for their fast clearance, without any obvious long-term toxicity. Our work developed defective WOx NBs with a high SDT efficiency and pH-sensitive degradation for enhanced SDT, which extended the biomedical application of tungsten-based nanomaterials and the further development of SDT.

Abstract
Radiotherapy and internal radioisotope therapy (brachytherapy) induce tumor cell death through different molecular signaling pathways. However, these therapies in cancer patients are constrained by dose-related adverse effects and local discomfort due to the prolonged exposure to the surrounding tissues. Technological advancements in nanotechnology have resulted in synthesis of high atomic elements such as nanomaterials, which can be used as radiosensitizers due to their photoelectric characteristics. The aim of this review is to elucidate the effects of novel nanomaterials in the field of radiation oncology to ameliorate dose-related toxicity through the application of ideal nanoparticle-based radiosensitizers such as Au (gold), Bi (bismuth), and Lu (Lutetium-177) for enhancing cytotoxic effects of radiotherapy via the high-Z effect. In addition, we discuss the role of nanoparticle-enhanced radiotherapy in alleviating tumor hypoxia through the nanodelivery of genes/drugs and other functional anticancer molecules. The implications of engineered nanoparticles in preclinical and clinical studies still need to be studied in order to explore potential mechanisms for radiosensitization by minimizing tumor hypoxia, operational/logistic complications and by overcoming tumor heterogeneity in radiotherapy/brachytherapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new minimally invasive technology for disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the biological tissue attenuation of visible light renders the depth of its penetration in tissues quite modest, which significantly restricts its therapeutic applicability. Therefore, it is an essential but yet a difficult task to enhance the X-ray sensitization impact while concurrently limiting the tissue scattering by the rational design of novel biological vectors. Herein, a novel Lu3Al5O12:Mn/Ca-Ce6@SiO2 nanoparticle system (LAMCCS) based on a pea-shaped LuAG:Mn/Ca nano-scintillator (LAMC) activating photosensitizer agent (Ce6) was designed. Due to the high radiosensitization of LAMC nano-scintillators and efficient energy conversion efficiency between LAMC and Ce6, more singlet oxygen (1O2) could be generated to efficiently damage DNA fragments and reveal a good effect of inhibiting the long-term proliferation of tumor cells in vitro. Significantly, synergistic therapy with PDT/radiotherapy (RT) and from LAMCCS nanocomposites may still maintain a high tumor growth inhibition rate of 72% than single RT of 10% in vivo. Owing to their excellent ability for X-ray sensitization and energy conversion, LAMCCS nanocomposites may have significant tumor growth suppression rates under lower X-ray dose irradiation due to their outstanding X-ray sensitization and energy conversion capabilities, which may open up a new avenue for the advancement of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Malignant tumors are one of the main causes of human death. The clinical treatment of malignant tumors is usually surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and so forth. Radiotherapy, as a traditional and effective treatment method for cancer, is widely used in clinical practice, but the radiation resistance of tumor cells and the toxic side effects to normal cells are still the Achilles heel of radiotherapy. Multifunctional inorganic high-atom nanomaterials are expected to enhance the effect of tumor radiotherapy. Tungsten and bismuth, which contain elements with high atomic coefficients, have strong X-ray energy attenuation capability. We synthesized Bi2WO6 nanosheets (NSs) using a hydrothermal synthesis method and modified polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on their surface to make them more stable. PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs have a variety of effects after absorbing X-rays (such as the photoelectric effect and Compton effect) and release a variety of particles such as photoelectrons, Compton electrons, auger electrons, and so forth, which can react with organic molecules or water in cells, generate a large number of free radicals, and promote cell apoptosis, thereby improving the effect of radiotherapy. We show through γ-H2AX and DCFH-DA probe analysis experiments that PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs can effectively increase cell DNA damage and reactive oxygen species formation under X-ray irradiation. Clone formation analysis showed that PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs can effectively suppress cell colony formation under X-ray irradiation. These versatile functions endow PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs with enhanced radiotherapy efficacy in animal models. In addition, PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs can also be used as contrast agents for X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging with obvious effects. Therefore, PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs can be used as CT imaging contrast agents and tumor radiotherapy sensitizers and have potential medical applications.

Bi-based photocatalysts for bacterial inactivation in water: Inactivation mechanisms, challenges, and strategies to improve the photocatalytic activity. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 209:112834. [PMID: 35122745 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.112834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2021] [Revised: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Bi-based photocatalysts have been considered suitable materials for water disinfection under natural solar light due to their outstanding optical and electronic properties. However, until now, there are not extensive reviews about the development of Bi-based materials and their application in bacterial inactivation in aqueous solutions. For this reason, this work has focused on summarizing the state of the art related to the inactivation of Gram- and Gram + pathogenic bacteria under visible light irradiation using different Bi-based micro and nano structures. In this sense, the photocatalytic bacterial inactivation mechanisms are analyzed, considering several modifications. The factors that can affect the photocatalytic performance of these materials in real conditions and at a large scale (e.g., water characteristics, pH, light intensity, photocatalyst dosage, and bacteria level) have been studied. Furthermore, current alternatives for improving the photocatalytic antibacterial activity and reuse of Bi-based materials (e.g., surface engineering, crystal facet engineering, doping, noble metal coupling, heterojunctions, Z-scheme junctions, coupling with graphene derivatives, magnetic composites, immobilization) have been explored. According to several reports, inactivation rate values higher than 90% can be achieved by using the modified Bi-based micro/nano structures, which become them excellent candidates for photocatalytic water disinfection. However, these innovative photocatalytic materials bring a variety of future difficulties and opportunities in water disinfection.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT), as one of the main methods of clinical tumor treatment, has been applied to the treatment of most solid tumors. However, the effect of RT is compromised by the radiation resistance of tumor hypoxic environment and non-specific damage caused by high-dose radiation. Bismuth chalcogenides (Bi2X3, X = S, Se) based nanodrugs have attracted widespread attention as highly efficient radiosensitizers due to their high photoelectric effect and excellent biocompatibility. More importantly, specially designed nanocomposites can effectively alleviate the radiation resistance of tumor tissues. Here, for the first time, we systematically summarize the latest progresses of Bi2X3 nanodrugs to enhance RT by alleviating the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. These emerging Bi2X3 nanodrugs mainly include three aspects, which are Bi2X3 nanocomposites with high-efficient O2 supply, non-O2-dependent Bi2X3 nanocomposites RT enhancers, and Bi2X3 nanocomposites-based photothermal-enhanced radiosensitizers. These Bi2X3 nanodrugs can effectively overcome the RT resistance of tumor hypoxic microenvironment, and have extremely high therapeutic effects and clinical application prospects. Finally, we put forward the challenges and prospects of Bi2X3 nanomaterials in the field of RT.

Abstract
Although many semiconductor heterojunctions have been prepared to promote radiation-generated exciton separation for radiocatalysis therapy (RCT), most of them inevitably sacrifice the redox ability of radiation-generated electrons and holes. Herein, we design and construct BiOI/Bi2S3@polydopamine nanosheets modified by amine-polyethylene glycol-folic acid and glucose oxidase for glucose oxidase-sensitized RCT and starvation therapy (ST) synergistic therapy of tumors. The unique Z-scheme energy level arrangement between BiOI and Bi2S3 can elevate the charge separation efficiency, as well as maximize the redox ability of radiation-generated electrons and holes, leading to the enhancement of the therapeutic efficacy of RCT. Since glucose oxidase can supply excess H2O2 for RCT to produce ˙OH on one hand, but efficiently cut off the energy supply of tumor cells via ST, on the other hand, our nanosheets exhibit superior tumor therapeutic efficacy to any single treatment benefiting from the cascade and synergy effects between RCT and ST.

Abstract
An optimal radiosensitizer with improved tumor retention has an important effect on tumor radiation therapy. Herein, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and drug-containing, mPEG-conjugated CUR (mPEG-CUR), self-assembled NPs (mPEG-CUR@Au) are developed and evaluated as a drug carrier and radiosensitizer in a breast cancer mice model. As a result, cancer therapy efficacy is improved significantly by applying all-in-one NPs to achieve synchronous chemoradiotherapy, as evidenced by studies evaluating cell viability, proliferation, and ROS production. In vivo anticancer experiments show that the mPEG-CUR@Au system improves the radiation sensitivity of 4T1 mammary carcinoma and completely abrogates breast cancer.

Abstract
A signal-enhanced photoelectrochemical immunoassay technique for detecting neuron specific enolase (NSE) was proposed. As a photoactive matrix, (Ce,Ag):Sb2WO6 was firstly investigated via doping Ce and Ag into Sb2WO6. It could be found that the presence of Ce and Ag not only had enormous variation on the morphology of Sb2WO6, but also showed excellent PEC behavior. In order to further improve the visible light utilization rate of (Ce,Ag):Sb2WO6, In2S3 was modified onto the surface of (Ce,Ag):Sb2WO6 to enhance visible light absorption. In addition, the CdS/PDA was served as a secondary antibody marker to further amplify signal. Especially, PDA as an electron donor could effectively remove photogenerated holes. Meanwhile, the good matching cascade band-edge levels between CdS and Sb2WO6 could promote photoelectron migration, improve the PEC response, and achieve sensitive detection of NSE. Under the selected excellent conditions, the photocurrent can linearly increase with the increase of NSE concentration in the operating range from 0.1 pg/mL to 50 ng/mL, and the limit of detection is 1.57 fg/mL. The constructed immunosensor also exhibits satisfactory stability, selectivity, and reproducibility, and it creates conditions for the detection of other biomolecules.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient photonic nanomaterials with synergistic biological effects is critical and challenging task for public hygiene health well-being and has attracted extensive interest. In this study, a type of near-infrared (NIR) driven, virus-like heterojunction was first developed for synergistic biological application. The Ag-coated Bi2CO5 nanomaterial (BOCO@Ag) demonstrated good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, high antibacterial activity and excellent light utilization stability. The synthesized BOCO@Ag performed a potential high photothermal conversion (efficiency~46.81%) to generate high temperatures when irradiated with near-infrared light illumination. As expected, compared to single Ag+ disinfection, BOCO@Ag can exhibit better antibacterial performance when combined with photothermal energy and released Ag+ . These results suggest that BOCO@Ag can be a promising photo-activate antimicrobial candidate and provide security for humans health and the environment treatment.

Abstract
Synchronous chemotherapy and radiotherapy, termed chemoradiation therapy, is now an important standard regime for synergistic cancer treatment. For such treatment, nanoparticles can serve as improved carriers of chemotherapeutics into tumors and as better radiosensitizers for localized radiotherapy. Herein, we designed a Schottky-type theranostic heterostructure, Bi2S3-Au, with deep level defects (DLDs) in Bi2S3 as a nano-radiosensitizer and CT imaging contrast agent which can generate reactive free radicals to initiate DNA damage within tumor cells under X-ray irradiation. Methotrexate (MTX) was conjugated onto the Bi2S3-Au nanoparticles as a chemotherapeutic agent showing enzymatic stimuli-responsive release behavior. The designed hybrid system also contained curcumin (CUR), which cannot only serve as a nutritional supplement for chemotherapy, but also can play an important role in the radioprotection of normal cells. Impressively, this combined one-dose chemoradiation therapeutic injection of co-drug loaded bimetallic multifunctional theranostic nanoparticles with a one-time clinical X-ray irradiation, completely eradicated tumors in mice after approximately 20 days after irradiation showing extremely effective anticancer efficacy which should be further studied for numerous anti-cancer applications.

Abstract
Anticancer treatment is largely affected by the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME), which causes the resistance of the tumor to radiotherapy. Combining radiosensitizer compounds and O2 self-enriched moieties is an emerging strategy in hypoxic-tumor treatments. Herein, we engineered GdW10@PDA-CAT (K3Na4H2GdW10O36·2H2O, GdW10, polydopamine, PDA, catalase, CAT) composites as a radiosensitizer for the TME-manipulated enhancement of radiotherapy. In the composites, Gd (Z = 64) and W (Z = 74), as the high Z elements, make X-ray gather in tumor cells, thereby enhancing DNA damage induced by radiation. CAT can convert H2O2 to O2 and H2O to enhance the X-ray effect under hypoxic TME. CAT and PDA modification enhances the biocompatibility of the composites. Our results showed that GdW10@PDA-CAT composites increased the efficiency of radiotherapy in HT29 cells in culture. This polyoxometalates and O2 self-supplement composites provide a promising radiosensitizer for the radiotherapy field.

Sluggish charge transfers at the electrode/electrolyte interface and fast recombination of electron-hole pairs limit the photoelectrocatalytic water-splitting ability of the bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6). To address these issues, sulfur doped-graphitic carbon nitride/bismuth tungstate (S-g-C3N4/Bi2WO6) heterostructured hybrid material with different wt% of S-g-C3N4 were constructed via an ultrasonic approach. The formation of heterostructure offers well-separated electron-hole pairs, thereby improving the charge transfer process, and boosting water oxidation kinetics on the surface of modified electrodes. Electrochemical impedance analysis confirms the rapid charge transfer process and quick electrochemical reaction at the electrode/electrolyte interface, which quenches the charge recombination process. The S-g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 with 3 wt% of S-g-C3N4 photoanode delivers ~43, ~18 and ~2-folds higher applied bias photon-to-current efficiency than S-g-C3N4, Bi2WO6, and g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 (3 wt% of g-C3N4) photoanodes, respectively. From the combination of UV-Vis, XPS valance band, and Mott-Schottky analysis the plausible band edge positions of the Bi2WO6 and S-g-C3N4 were calculated. Based on the band structure, we have concluded that the S-g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 hybrid photoanode follows a type-II charge transfer mechanism to promote the photoelectrocatalytic water splitting ability.

Abstract
To date, nanotechnology has increasingly been identified as a promising and efficient means to address a number of challenges associated with public health. In the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) biomaterials, as a unique nanoplatform with planar topology, have attracted explosive interest in various fields such as biomedicine due to their unique morphology, physicochemical properties and biological effect. Motivated by the progress of graphene in biomedicine, dozens of types of ultrathin 2D biomaterials have found versatile bio-applications, including biosensing, biomedical imaging, delivery of therapeutic agents, cancer theranostics, tissue engineering, as well as others. The effective utilization of 2D biomaterials stems from the in-depth knowledge of structure-property-bioactivity-biosafety-application-performance relationships. A comprehensive summary of 2D biomaterials for biomedicine is still lacking. In this comprehensive review, we aim to concentrate on the state-of-the-art 2D biomaterials with a particular focus on their versatile biomedical applications. In particular, we discuss the design, fabrication and functionalization of 2D biomaterials used for diverse biomedical applications based on the up-to-date progress. Furthermore, the interactions between 2D biomaterials and biological systems on the spatial-temporal scale are highlighted, which will deepen the understanding of the underlying action mechanism of 2D biomaterials aiding their design with improved functionalities. Finally, taking the bench-to-bedside as a focus, we conclude this review by proposing the current crucial issues/challenges and presenting the future development directions to advance the clinical translation of these emerging 2D biomaterials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, gadolinium-intercalated carbon dots (Gd@C-dots) have demonstrated potential advantages over traditional high-Z nanoparticles (HZNPs) as radiosensitizers due to their high stability, minimal metal leakage, and remarkable efficacy. RESULTS In this work, two Gd@C-dots formulations were fabricated which bore carboxylic acid (CA-Gd@C-dots) or amino group (pPD-Gd@C-dots), respectively, on the carbon shell. While it is critical to develop innovative nanomateirals for cancer therapy, determining their tumor accumulation and retention is equally important. Therefore, in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) was performed, which found that 64Cu-labeled pPD-Gd@C-dots demonstrated significantly improved tumor retention (up to 48 h post injection) compared with CA-Gd@C-dots. Indeed, cell uptake of 64Cu-pPD-Gd@C-dots reached close to 60% of total dose compared with ~ 5% of 64Cu-CA-Gd@C-dots. pPD-Gd@C-dots was therefore further evaluated as a new radiosensitizer for non-small cell lung cancer treatment. While single dose radiation plus intratumorally injected pPD-Gd@C-dots did lead to improved tumor suppression, the inhibition effect was further improved with two doses of radiation. The persistent retention of pPD-Gd@C-dots in tumor region eliminates the need of reinjecting radiosensitizer for the second radiation. CONCLUSIONS PET offers a simple and straightforward way to study nanoparticle retention in vivo, and the selected pPD-Gd@C-dots hold great potential as an effective radiosensitizer.

Abstract
Tumour revascularization and the consequent radioresistance activated by the up-regulated angiogenic pathway after radiation exposure remain a major bottleneck for improving the tumouricidal effect of radiotherapy (RT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, we show that fabricated aminopeptidase N (ANP/CD13)-targeting Gd-hybridized gold nanomolecules (tGd-GNMs) can efficaciously suppress tumour revascularization and the consequent radioresistance, and then synergize in augmenting the RT response. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that the targeted delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) siRNA into the tumour site and the generation of an abundance of intratumourally cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) under X-ray radiation by the tGd-GNMssiRNA complex has the capability to down-regulate VEGF gene expression and strengthen the radiation response. Furthermore, the tGd-GNMssiRNA complex contributes to excellent active tumour targeting ability, remarkably enhancing tumour contrast in the fluorescence, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging modalities in real-time with a long imaging time window. Overall, the synthesized tGd-GNMssiRNA complex with excellent potentiation of the antitumour ability and real-time multimodal imaging ability represents a promising visualized theranostic nanoplatform for the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
A novel magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@Bi2O2CO3/rGO composite comprising of uniform core-shell-structured Fe3O4@SiO2@Bi2O2CO3 microspheres mounted on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets was successfully fabricated by using a facile hydrothermal method. The adsorption-desorption isotherm of Fe3O4@SiO2@Bi2O2CO3/rGO belonged to type IV with an H4-type hysteresis loop. The specific surface areas and magnetization saturation value (Ms) of Fe3O4@SiO2@Bi2O2CO3/rGO (x = 0.15 g) were 102.12 m2/g and 25.4 emu/g, respectively. Fe3O4@SiO2@Bi2O2CO3/rGO (x = 0.15 g) exhibited remarkable photocatalytic degradation activity and mineralization effect for MO and decolorization performance for the mixed solution of MO, Rh B, and MB. MO degradation by Fe3O4@SiO2@Bi2O2CO3/rGO conformed to a first-order kinetic reaction, and the corresponding kapp value was 0.05553 min-1. A suitable amount of rGO in Fe3O4@SiO2@Bi2O2CO3/rGO could decrease the energy band gap, inhibit the recombination of photo-induced electron/hole (e-/h+) pair, and broaden and enhance the response of the catalyst to visible light, thereby enhancing the visible-light catalytic degradation of organic dyes. The active species produced in the photocatalysis included •O2-, •OH, and h+, with •O2- being the dominant active species. The as-prepared photocatalyst also showed excellent magnetic separation performance and stability. Results show that the as-prepared Fe3O4@SiO2@Bi2O2CO3/rGO composite is a promising photocatalyst with considerable application potential in organic dyes removal.

Abstract
The radio-resistance of tumor tissues has been considered a great challenge for cancer radiotherapy (RT).The development of nanoparticle (NP)-based radio-sensitizers can enhance the radio-sensitization of tumor tissues while reducing the side effects to surrounding tissues. However, most of the nano-radiosensitizers show increased radiation deposition with a high-Z element but achieve limited enhancement. Herein, we investigated polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified gold-iron selenide nanocomposites (Au-FeSe2 NCs) for simultaneously enhancing therapeutic effects in multiple ways. In this study, the high-Z element Au (Z = 79) endows Au-FeSe2 NCs with enhanced X-ray deposition and thus causes more DNA damage. On the other hand, Au-FeSe2 exhibits the ability to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) by catalyzing endogenous hydrogen peroxide in tumor sites as well as improve the hydrogen peroxide level during ionizing irradiation. Finally, combined with photothermal therapy (PTT), Au-FeSe2 NCs could exhibit a remarkable RT/PTT synergistic effect on tumor treatment.

Abstract
Currently, radiotherapy (RT) is the main method for cancer treatment. However, the hypoxic environment of solid tumors is likely to cause resistance or failure of RT. Moreover, high-dose radiation may cause side effects to surrounding normal tissues. In this study, a new type of nanozyme is developed by doping Mn (II) ions into Ag2 Se quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm). Through the catalysis of Mn (II) ions, the nanozymes can trigger the rapid decomposition of H2 O2 and produce O2 . Conjugated with tumor-targeting arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) tripeptides and polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules, the nanozymes are then constructed into in vivo nanoprobes for NIR-II imaging-guided RT of tumors. Owing to the radiosensitive activity of the element Ag, the nanoprobes can promote radiation energy deposition. The specific tumor-targeting and NIR-II emitting abilities of the nanoprobes facilitate the precise tumor localization, which enables precise RT with low side effects. Moreover, their ultra-stability in the living body ensures that the nanoprobes continuously produce oxygen and relieve the hypoxia of tumors to enhance RT efficacy. Guided by real-time and high-clarity imaging, the nanoprobe-mediated RT promotes anti-tumor immunity, which significantly inhibits the growth of tumors or even cures them completely.

Abstract
High-Z nanoparticles (HZNPs) afford high cross-section for high energy radiation and have attracted wide attention as a novel type of radiosensitizer. However, conventional HZNPs are often associated with issues such as heavy metal toxicity, suboptimal pharmacokinetics, and low cellular uptake. Herein, we explore gadolinium-intercalated carbon dots (Gd@Cdots) as a dose-modifying agent for radiotherapy. Gd@Cdots are synthesized through a hydrothermal reaction with an ultrasmall size (∼3 nm) and a high Gd content. Gd@Cdots can significantly increase hydroxyl radical production under X-ray irradiation; this is attributed to not only the photoelectric effects of Gd, but also the surface catalytic effects of carbon. Because carbon is biologically and chemically inert, Gd@Cdots show low Gd leakage and minimal toxicity. In vitro studies confirm that Gd@Cdots can efficiently enhance radiation-induced cellular damage, causing elevated double strand breaks, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial depolarization. When tested in mice bearing non-small cell lung cancer H1299 tumors, intravenously injected Gd@Cdots plus radiation leads to improved tumor suppression and animal survival relative to radiation alone while causing no detectable toxicity. Our studies suggest a great potential of Gd@Cdots as a safe and efficient radiosensitizer.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common intracranial malignant tumor, and its specific pathogenesis has been unclear, which has always been an unresolved clinical problem due to the limited therapeutic window of glioma. As we all know, surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are the main treatment methods for glioma. With the development of clinical trials and traditional treatment techniques, radiotherapy for glioma has increasingly exposed defects in the treatment effect. In order to improve the bottleneck of radiotherapy for glioma, people have done a lot of work; among this, nano-radiosensitizers have offered a novel and potential treatment method. Compared with conventional radiotherapy, nanotechnology can overcome the blood–brain barrier and improve the sensitivity of glioma to radiotherapy. This paper focuses on the research progress of nano-radiosensitizers in radiotherapy for glioma.

Abstract
The rapid knowledge growth of nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology enables and promotes the emergence of distinctive disease-specific therapeutic modalities, among which nanomedicine-enabled/augmented nanodynamic therapy (NDT), as triggered by either exogenous or endogenous activators on nanosensitizers, can generate reactive radicals for accomplishing efficient disease nanotherapies with mitigated side effects and endowed disease specificity. As one of the most representative modalities of NDT, traditional light-activated photodynamics suffers from the critical and unsurmountable issues of the low tissue-penetration depth of light and the phototoxicity of the photosensitizers. To overcome these obstacles, versatile nanomedicine-enabled/augmented NDTs have been explored for satisfying varied biomedical applications, which strongly depend on the physicochemical properties of the involved nanomedicines and nanosensitizers. These distinctive NDTs refer to sonodynamic therapy (SDT), thermodynamic therapy (TDT), electrodynamic therapy (EDT), piezoelectric dynamic therapy (PZDT), pyroelectric dynamic therapy (PEDT), radiodynamic therapy (RDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Herein, the critical roles, functions, and biological effects of nanomedicine (e.g., sonosensitizing, photothermal-converting, electronic, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, radiation-sensitizing, and catalytic properties) for enabling the therapeutic procedure of NDTs, are highlighted and discussed, along with the underlying therapeutic principle and optimization strategy for augmenting disease-therapeutic efficacy and biosafety. The present challenges and critical issues on the clinical translations of NDTs are also discussed and clarified.

Abstract
Innovative multifunctional nanomaterials have attracted tremendous interest in current research by facilitating simultaneous cancer imaging and therapy. Among them, antimony (Sb)- and bismuth (Bi)-based nanoparticles are important species with multifunction to boost cancer theranostic efficacy. Despite the rapid development, the extensive previous work treated Sb- and Bi-based nanoparticles as mutually independent species, and therefore a thorough understanding of their relationship in cancer theranostics was lacking. We propose here that the identical chemical nature of Sb and Bi, being semimetals, provides their derived nanoparticles with inherent multifunction for near-infrared laser-driven and/or X-ray-based cancer imaging and therapy as well as some other imparted functions. An overview of recent progress on Sb- and Bi-based nanoparticles for cancer theranostics is provided to highlight the relationship between chemical nature and multifunction. The understanding of Sb- and Bi-based nanoparticles in this way might shed light on the further design of smart multifunctional nanoparticles for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Nanoradiosensitizers containing high-Z elements hold great potential in radiotherapy owing to the increasing energy deposition effect on X-ray irradiation. However, their potential clinical application is limited by the irradiation damage in nontarget tissues surrounding the tumor site, as well as the safety concerns for nanomaterials. Our findings demonstrate that pharmacological ascorbate displays a synergistic radiosensitizing effect in combination with nanoradiosensitizers. By engineering the Au@Pd core-shell nanostructures and precisely regulating their shell thickness, the obtained Au@Pd nanomaterials exhibit excellent ascorbate oxidase-like activity. Along with the accelerating generation of H2O2, pharmacological ascorbate significantly enhances the radiosensitizing effect of Au@Pd-PEG nanoparticles on both cancer cells and solid tumor. Interestingly, pharmacological ascorbate effectively protects normal tissues from X-ray-induced injury. The present work demonstrates that pharmacological ascorbate is an ideal agent for selectively improving the radiosensitizing effect of nanomaterials, providing a promising strategy to facilitate the clinical translation of nanoradiosensitizers.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in physiological and pathological processes. Studies on the regulation of ROS for disease treatments have caused wide concern, mainly involving the topics in ROS-regulating therapy such as antioxidant therapy triggered by ROS scavengers and ROS-induced toxic therapy mediated by ROS-elevation agents. Benefiting from the remarkable advances of nanotechnology, a large number of nanomaterials with the ROS-regulating ability are developed to seek new and effective ROS-related nanotherapeutic modalities or nanomedicines. Although considerable achievements have been made in ROS-based nanomedicines for disease treatments, some fundamental but key questions such as the rational design principle for ROS-related nanomaterials are held in low regard. Here, the design principle can serve as the initial framework for scientists and technicians to design and optimize the ROS-regulating nanomedicines, thereby minimizing the gap of nanomedicines for biomedical application during the design stage. Herein, an overview of the current progress of ROS-associated nanomedicines in disease treatments is summarized. And then, by particularly addressing these known strategies in ROS-associated therapy, several fundamental and key principles for the design of ROS-associated nanomedicines are presented. Finally, future perspectives are also discussed in depth for the development of ROS-associated nanomedicines.

Abstract
It is interesting yet challenging to design theranostic nanoplatforms for the accurate diagnosis and therapy of diseases; these nanoplatforms consist of single contrast-enhanced imaging or therapeutic agents, and they possess their own unique shortcomings that limit their widespread bio-medical applications. Therefore, designing a potential theranostic agent is an emerging approach for the synergistic diagnosis and therapeutics in bio-medical applications. Herein, a lanthanide-loaded (NaLnF4) heterostructure BiOCl ultrathin nanosheet (BiNS@NaLnF4) as a theranostic agent was synthesized facilely by a solvothermal protocol. BiNS@NaLnF4 was employed as a multi-modal contrast agent for computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), showing a high-performance X-ray absorption contrast effect, an outstanding T1-weighted imaging function result, good cytocompatibility and favorable in vivo effective imaging for CT. Notably, BiNS@NaLnF4 was applied to achieve a satisfactory photon-thermal conversion efficiency (35.3%). Moreover, the special heterostructure barrier achieved increased utilization of electrons/holes, enhancing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under visible-light irradiation to further expand the therapeutic effect. Dramatically, visible light emission with the up-conversion law was employed to stimulate ROS after irradiation with a 980 nm laser. Simultaneously, the as-prepared BiNS@NaLnF4 can be applied in photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) investigation for tumor ablation. In summary, the results reveal that BiNS@NaLnF4 is a potential multi-modal theranostic candidate, providing new insights for synergistic theranostics of tumors.

Abstract
Here, bismuth-based nanomaterials (Bi-based NMs) are introduced as promising theranostic agents to enhance image contrast as well as for the therapeutic gain for numerous diseases. However, understanding the interaction of such novel developed nanoparticles (NPs) within a biological environment is a requisite for the translation of any promising agent from the lab bench to the clinic. This interaction delineates the fate of NPs after circulation in the body. In an ideal setting, a nano-based therapeutic agent should be eliminated via the renal clearance pathway, meanwhile it should have specific targeting to a diseased organ to reach an effective dose and also to overcome off-targeting. Due to their clearance pathway, biodistribution patterns and pharmacokinetics (PK), Bi-based NMs have been found to play a determinative role to pass clinical approval and they have been investigated extensively in vivo to date. In this review, we expansively discuss the possible toxicity induced by Bi-based NMs on cells or organs, as well as biodistribution profiles, PK and the clearance pathways in animal models. A low cytotoxicity of Bi-based NMs has been found in vitro and in vivo, and along with their long-term biodistribution and proper renal clearance in animal models, the translation of Bi-based NMs to the clinic as a useful novel theranostic agent is promising to improve numerous medical applications.

Abstract
Studies of nanosized forms of bismuth (Bi)-containing materials have recently expanded from optical, chemical, electronic, and engineering fields towards biomedicine, as a result of their safety, cost-effective fabrication processes, large surface area, high stability, and high versatility in terms of shape, size, and porosity. Bi, as a nontoxic and inexpensive diamagnetic heavy metal, has been used for the fabrication of various nanoparticles (NPs) with unique structural, physicochemical, and compositional features to combine various properties, such as a favourably high X-ray attenuation coefficient and near-infrared (NIR) absorbance, excellent light-to-heat conversion efficiency, and a long circulation half-life. These features have rendered bismuth-containing nanoparticles (BiNPs) with desirable performance for combined cancer therapy, photothermal and radiation therapy (RT), multimodal imaging, theranostics, drug delivery, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOx, where X is Cl, Br or I) and bismuth chalcogenides, including bismuth oxide, bismuth sulfide, bismuth selenide, and bismuth telluride, have been heavily investigated for therapeutic purposes. The pharmacokinetics of these BiNPs can be easily improved via the facile modification of their surfaces with biocompatible polymers and proteins, resulting in enhanced colloidal stability, extended blood circulation, and reduced toxicity. Desirable antibacterial effects, bone regeneration potential, and tumor growth suppression under NIR laser radiation are the main biomedical research areas involving BiNPs that have opened up a new paradigm for their future clinical translation. This review emphasizes the synthesis and state-of-the-art progress related to the biomedical applications of BiNPs with different structures, sizes, and compositions. Furthermore, a comprehensive discussion focusing on challenges and future opportunities is presented.

Abstract
Combination therapy such as radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy has attracted excessive interest in the new cancer research area. Therefore, developing nanobiomaterials for combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is required for more powerful and successful cures. Because of the amazing X-ray sensitization proficiency of Bi based nanoparticles, in this work, we synthesized and used Bi2S3 as an enhancer of X-ray radiation therapy, and furthermore, Bi2S3 served as carrier of curcumin (CUR), a chemotherapy drug, for the goal of combination therapy. Additionally, we selected and conjugated folic acid (FA) as a targeting molecule for the direction of the designed system to the tumor site. After characterization of drug loaded FA conjugated Bi2S3@BSA nanoparticles (Bi2S3@BSA-FA-CUR) and in vitro and in vivo safety assessment, we applied it for enhanced chemotherapy and X-ray radiation therapy in cancer cells and a tumor bearing mice model. Moreover, the CT contrast ability of synthesized nanoparticles was examined. Here, we (1) for the first time developed the novel and targeted CUR loaded Bi2S3@BSA (Bi2S3@BSA-FA-CUR) to promote chemoradiation therapy in 4T1 cells and breast tumor in mice; (2) found the synthesized nanoparticles to have good stability; (3) injected a single dose of the designed radiosensitizer for cancer therapy; and (4) used a conventional X-ray dose, 2Gy, for X-ray radiation therapy. The result of in vivo X-ray radiotherapy shows that the mice tumors vanished near 3 weeks after radiation. Interestingly, these results show that Bi2S3@BSA-FA-CUR with the aid of X-ray can clearly promote the efficacy of chemoradiation therapy.
