Abstract
With the rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, nanomaterial-assisted catalytic sterilization has been well developed to combat pathogenic bacteria by elevating the level of reactive oxygen species including hydroxyl radical (·OH). Although promising, the ultra-short lifetime and limited diffusion distance of ·OH severely limit their practical antibacterial usage. Herein, the rational design and preparation of novel virus-like copper silicate hollow spheres (CSHSs) are reported, as well as their applications as robust artificial bacteriophages for localized bacterial capture and enhanced catalytic sterilization in the treatment of oral infectious diseases. During the whole process of capture and killing, CSHSs can efficiently capture bacteria via shortening the distance between bacteria and CSHSs, produce massive ·OH around bacteria, and further iinducing the admirable effect of bacterial inhibition. By using mucosal infection and periodontitis as typical oral infectious diseases, it is easily found that the bacterial populations around lesions in animals after antibacterial treatment fall sharply, as well as the well-developed nanosystem can decrease the inflammatory reaction and promote the hard or soft tissue repair. Together, the high Fenton-like catalytic activity, strong bacterial affinity, excellent antibacterial activity, and overall safety of the nanoplatform promise its great therapeutic potential for further catalytic bacterial disinfection.

Abstract
Preventing unintentional pregnancy is one of the goals of a global public health policy to minimize effects on individuals, families, and society. Various contraceptive formulations with high effectiveness and acceptance, including intrauterine devices, hormonal patches for females, and condoms and vasectomy for males, have been developed and adopted over the last decades. However, distinct breakthroughs of contraceptive techniques have not yet been achieved, while the associated long-term adverse effects are insurmountable, such as endocrine system disorder along with hormone administration, invasive ligation, and slowly restored fertility after removal of intrauterine devices. Spurred by developments of nanomaterials and bionanotechnologies, advanced contraceptives could be fulfilled via nanomaterial solutions with much safer and more controllable and effective approaches to meet various and specific needs for women and men at different reproductive stages. Nanomedicine techniques have been extended to develop contraceptive methods, such as the targeted drug delivery and controlled release of hormone using nanocarriers for females and physical stimulation assisted vasectomy using functional nanomaterials via photothermal treatment or magnetic hyperthermia for males. Nanomaterial solutions for advanced contraceptives offer significantly improved biosafety, noninvasive administration, and controllable reversibility. This review summarizes the nanomaterial solutions to female and male contraceptives including the working mechanisms, clinical concerns, and their merits and demerits. This work also reviewed the nanomaterials that have been adopted in contraceptive applications. In addition, we further discuss safety considerations and future perspectives of nanomaterials in nanostrategy development for next-generation contraceptives. We expect that nanomaterials would potentially replace conventional materials for contraception in the near future.

Abstract
Nanocontraception has been proposed and received extensive attention in recent years for population control. However, currently developed methods for nanocontraception still face problems in efficacy and safety. Here, we propose catalysis-mediated oxidation as a new strategy for nanocontraception. With the catalytic production of highly oxidative species, male contraception was successfully achieved after the administration of black phosphorus nanosheets into the testes of male mice. Further mechanistic studies revealed that contraception was induced by oxidative stress and apoptosis of spermatogenesis cells. Meanwhile, the apoptosis of germ cells released testis antigen and induced immune cell infiltration, which enhanced reproductive damage. Notably, the introduced black phosphorus nanosheets naturally degraded during the catalytic oxidation process and ultimately converted to harmless phosphates, indicating the safety of the strategy. Furthermore, the catalysis-mediated strategy avoids utilizing additional inducers, such as near-infrared irradiation, magnetic fields, or ultrasound, which may cause severe pain. In summary, the proposed catalysis-mediated contraception can be a self-cleared, convenient, and safe strategy for controlling male fertility.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising strategy for permanent male sterilization owing to its easy operation, rapid heating, minimal invasiveness, and high spatiotemporal controllability. However, the currently available PTT for male sterilization utilizes irradiation sources in the first near-infrared window (NIR-I), which may suffer from incomplete sterilization due to the insufficient penetration depth of NIR-I light. Herein, we developed a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthetic method of cysteine-coated copper sulfide (Cys-CuS) nanosheets for the second NIR window (NIR-II) PTT-mediated permanent male sterilization. In this method, Cys acted not only as a template but also as a sulfur resource in the formation of Cys-CuS nanosheets. The obtained Cys-CuS nanosheets possessed good photothermal properties and satisfied deep-tissue light response capacity under 1064 nm laser exposure. Given this, the permanent male sterilization in vivo was readily achieved by Cys-CuS nanosheets in a rapid manner (only 40 s). To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that nanomaterial-mediated NIR-II PTT is applied for permanent male sterilization. We believe that the facilely prepared biocompatible Cys-CuS nanosheets can serve as a promising NIR-II light-responsive nanoknife to control the overpopulation of domestic pets and stray animals.

Abstract
The development of nonantibiotic strategies to combat bacterial infection is highly needed, owing to the widespread infectious disease and bacterial resistance becoming a significant health threat to the world's population. In recent years, photoactivated antibacterial therapies including photocatalytic and photothermal therapies have attracted increasing attention due to their high efficiency and low side effect. Herein, we introduce a copper sulfide (Cu2-xS) hollow nanostructure-based near-infrared antibacterial platform with synergy photothermal and photocatalytic properties for effective bacterial sterilization. Compared to traditional Cu2-xS nanoparticles, this unique hollow Cu2-xS nanostructure can generate multiple scattered light, which is conducive to light collection. Moreover, its thin shell can shorten the transmission distance of carrier, thus reducing the charge recombination that usually causes the greatest energy loss. As a result, such a Cu2-xS hollow nanostructure enables enhanced photothermal and photocatalytic bacterial killing activities against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, showing promise for antibiotic-free infection treatment and other bacterial sterilization applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can cause cancer cell death through an immunogenic process. However, the study of second near-infrared window (NIR-II)-triggered PTT and PDT combined with CDT to induce an immune response has not been recently reported. Here, we integrated gold nanobipyramids and copper sulfide in a core/shell architecture (AuNBP@CuS). The material displays both photodynamic and photothermal properties under irradiation with a NIR-II laser. The released Cu2+ from CuS under an acidic tumor microenvironment can be converted to Cu+ by glutathione following a Fenton-like reaction with hydrogen peroxide to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals in the tumor region. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that such multifunctional nanoplatforms could achieve enhanced efficiency for image-guided tumor suppression based on the NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy. We found that damage-associated molecular pattern molecules such as adenosine triphosphate, pre-apoptotic calreticulin, and high mobility group box-1 in dying cells induced by the NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy could simultaneously trigger adaptive immune responses. This is the first report revealing that NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy based on AuNBP@CuS had promising performance on tumor suppressor with an effective immunogenic cell death process. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. AuNBP@CuS displays both NIR-II photodynamic and photothermal properties. 2. Cu+ following a Fenton-like reaction to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals. 3. The NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy can trigger adaptive immune responses. 4. Such multifunctional nanoplatforms could achieve enhanced efficiency for tumor suppression.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common debilitating disease affecting articular joints for which no effective disease-modifying early diagnosis or medical therapy tools are currently available. The inefficient delivery of drugs into inflamed chondrocytes has restricted the development of anti-OA medication. Evidence has shown that inflammatory neutrophils possess the property of targeting inflammation via inflammatory tissue recruiting. Herein, we report neutrophil-cell-membrane-based biomimetic nanoparticles (NM-LANPs@Ru) as an OA theranostic nanoplatform; they act as a NO delivery system, coating neutrophil cell membrane onto the surface of self-assembled PEGylated L-arginine nanoparticles (LANPs) to act as a NO donor and loading a Ru complex to act as a ROS inducer. NM-LANPs@Ru demonstrated the specific targeting of inflamed OA with low toxicity, good NO release, and excellent fluorescence/photoacoustic (FL/PA) imaging properties. We showed that NM-LANPs@Ru exhibited enhanced cellular association in inflamed chondrocyte cells (C28/I2), much higher than NO release from ROS oxidized LA, and it improved the inhibition of the apoptosis of inflamed C28/I2 cells compared with control treatments. In vivo studies demonstrated that NM-LANPs@Ru effectively targeted inflamed OA, based on real-time dual-modal FL/PA imaging, eventually exhibiting its excellent anti-inflammatory activity. Our study may provide a new approach for the early diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis using a neutrophil-cell-membrane-based biomimetic nanoplatform for NO or drug delivery.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructures, featuring near infrared (NIR)-absorption, are rising as efficient nanosystems for in vitro photothermal (PT) studies and in vivo PT treatment of cancer diseases. Among the different materials, new plasmonic nanostructures based on Cu2−xS nanocrystals (NCs) are emerging as valuable alternatives to Au nanorods, nanostars and nanoshells, largely exploited as NIR absorbing nanoheaters. Even though Cu2−xS plasmonic properties are not linked to geometry, the role played by their size, shape and surface chemistry is expected to be fundamental for an efficient PT process. Here, Cu2−xS NCs coated with a hydrophilic mesoporous silica shell (MSS) are synthesized by solution-phase strategies, tuning the core geometry, MSS thickness and texture. Besides their loading capability, the silica shell has been widely reported to provide a more robust plasmonic core protection than organic molecular/polymeric coatings, and improved heat flow from the NC to the environment due to a reduced interfacial thermal resistance and direct electron–phonon coupling through the interface. Systematic structural and morphological analysis of the core-shell nanoparticles and an in-depth thermoplasmonic characterization by using a pump beam 808 nm laser, are carried out. The results suggest that large triangular nanoplates (NPLs) coated by a few tens of nanometers thick MSS, show good photostability under laser light irradiation and provide a temperature increase above 38 °C and a 20% PT efficiency upon short irradiation time (60 s) at 6 W/cm2 power density.

Abstract
Here, the synthesis and proof of exploitation of three-material inorganic heterostructures made of iron oxide-gold-copper sulfide (Fe3 O4 @Au@Cu2-x S) are reported. Starting with Fe3 O4 -Au dumbbell heterostructure as seeds, a third Cu2-x S domain is selectively grown on the Au domain. The as-synthesized trimers are transferred to water by a two-step ligand exchange procedure exploiting thiol-polyethylene glycol to coordinate Au and Cu2-x S surfaces and polycatechol-polyethylene glycol to bind the Fe3 O4 surface. The saline stable trimers possess multi-functional properties: the Fe3 O4 domain, of appropriate size and crystallinity, guarantees optimal heating losses in magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) under magnetic field conditions of clinical use. These trimers have indeed record values of specific adsorption rate among the inorganic-heterostructures so far reported. The presence of Au and Cu2-x S domains ensures a large adsorption which falls in the first near-infrared (NIR) biological window and is here exploited, under laser excitation at 808 nm, to produce photo-thermal heat alone or in combination with MHT obtained from the Fe3 O4 domain. Finally, an intercalation protocol with radioactive 64 Cu ions is developed on the Cu2-x S domain, reaching high radiochemical yield and specific activity making the Fe3 O4 @Au@Cu2-x S trimers suitable as carriers for 64 Cu in internal radiotherapy (iRT) and traceable by positron emission tomography (PET).

Abstract
Developing an intelligent theranostic nanoplatform with satisfied diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficiency holds great promise for personalized nanomedicine. Herein, we constructed a smart nanodevice for the accurate diagnosis of endogenous cancer microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers and efficient photothermal therapy (PTT). The nanodevice was composed of polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized CuS nanosheets (CuS@PDA NSs) and three elaborate DNA hairpin probes (TDHPs). The CuS@PDA NSs acted as efficient delivery vehicles and photothermal agents. They provided a large surface area available for an efficient and facile loading of TDHPs and a high-fluorescence (FL) quenching performance to achieve an ultralow background signal. The intracellular miRNA triggered TDHPs to assemble into three-arm branched junction structures for a strong fluorescence recovery as output signals to discriminate cancer cells from normal cells with an excellent sensitivity. The CuS@PAD NSs showed a good photothermal conversion efficiency in the near-infrared II (NIR II) region to mediate a good photothermal performance to kill cancer cells. A remarkable antitumor therapeutic effect was achieved in vivo. This work integrated highly sensitive detection to endogenous cancer biomarkers and valid therapeutic potency to tumor-bearing mice, indicating its promising biomedical applications.

Abstract
Controlling populations of free-roaming dogs and cats poses a huge challenge worldwide. Non-surgical neutering strategies for male animals have been long pursued, but the implementation of the procedures developed has remained limited to date. As submitting the testes to high temperatures impairs spermatogenesis, the present study investigated localized application of magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia (MNH) to the testicles as a potential non-surgical sterilization method for animals. An intratesticular injection of a magnetic fluid composed of manganese-ferrite nanoparticles functionalized with citrate was administered followed by testicle exposure to an alternate magnetic field to generate localized heat. Testicular MNH was highly effective, causing progressive seminiferous tubule degeneration followed by substitution of the parenchyma with stromal tissue and gonadal atrophy, suggesting an irreversible process with few side effects to general animal health.

Abstract
Mild testicular hyperthermia by the photothermal effect of gold nanorods could realize controllable male contraception. However, associated limitations, such as testicular administration and infrared laser inflicting severe pain, and the nondegradability of nanoparticles potentially causing toxicity, have restricted further clinical application. Inspired by the excellent physicochemical properties of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), and the finding that testicular injection of PEG-coated IONPs with a diameter of 50 nm (PEG@Fe3O4-50) following an alternating magnetic field (AMF) could achieve controllable male contraception; here we propose a noninvasive, targeting approach for male contraception via intravenous administration. The magnetic properties and testes targeting of IONPs were proven to be greatly affected by their surface chemistry and particle size. After systemic administration, citric acid stabilized IONPs with size of 100 nm (CA@Fe3O4-100) were found to be the best ideal thermoagent for realizing the noninvasive contraception. This study offers new strategies for male contraception.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has been recognized as one of the greatest threats to public health. In view of the continuous increase of bacterial resistance, constructing a collaborative bactericidal platform is a promising strategy to enhance the efficiency of antimicrobial agents. Herein, we report a facile, biocompatible and versatile nano-platform based on positively charged copper manganate nanoflakes (CuMnO2 NFs), which exhibits intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity and excellent photothermal properties. The CuMnO2 NFs can bind with negatively charged bacteria via electrostatic interactions, and generate hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) through catalysis involving hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to make bacteria more susceptible to temperature. Introducing near-infrared light generates hyperthermia to fight against bacteria and enhances the peroxidase-like catalytic activity of the CuMnO2 NFs, thus producing more ˙OH to combat bacteria. The PTT-enhanced ˙OH synergistic antibacterial strategy exerts desirable antibacterial efficiencies of 98.78% and 99.92% against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) at a controlled low temperature (below 50 °C), without damage to healthy tissues. Animal experiments indicate that this synergistic treatment has a better therapeutic effect on S. aureus-infected wounds in mice, compared with either treatment by itself. Therefore, this work holds great promise for developing new synergistic antimicrobial strategies to treat bacterial infections.

Abstract
The development of a theragnostic platform integrating precise diagnosis and effective treatment is significant but still extremely challenging. Herein, an integrated smart nanodevice composed of Au@Cu2-xS@polydopamine nanoparticles (ACSPs) and fuel DNA-conjugated tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (fTDNs) was constructed, in which the ACSP nanoprobe played multiple key roles in antitumor therapy as well as in situ monitoring of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer cells. Regarding the analysis, the ACSP probe contained two optical properties: excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement and high fluorescence (FL) quenching performance. Employing the ACSPs as the high-efficiency detection substrate combined with the fTDN-assisted DNA walking nanomachines as the superior amplification strategy, a SERS-FL dual-spectrum biosensor was constructed, which achieved an ultralow background signal and excellent sensitivity with detection limits of 0.11 pM and 4.95 aM by FL and SERS, respectively. Moreover, the rapid FL imaging and precise SERS quantitative detection for miRNA in cancer cells were also achieved by dual-signal ratio strategy, improving the accuracy of diagnosis. Regarding the therapeutic application, due to the high reactive oxygen species generation ability and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, the ACSPs can also act as an all-in-one nanoagent for multimodal collaborative tumor therapy. Significantly, both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed its high biological safety and strong anticancer effect, indicating its promising theragnostic applications.

Abstract
For decades, the possibility to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in biological systems through the use of light was mainly restricted to the photodynamic effect: the photoexcitation of molecules which then engage in charge- or energy-transfer to molecular oxygen (O2) to initiate ROS production. However, the classical photodynamic approach presents drawbacks, like per se chemical reactivity of the photosensitizing agent or fast molecular photobleaching due to in situ ROS generation, to name a few. Recently, a new approach, which promises many advantages, has entered the scene: plasmon-driven hot-electron chemistry. The effect takes advantage of the photoexcitation of plasmonic resonances in metal nanoparticles to induce a new cohort of photochemical and redox reactions. These metal photo-transducers are considered chemically inert and can undergo billions of photoexcitation rounds without bleaching or suffering significant oxidative alterations. Also, their optimal absorption band can be shape- and size-tailored in order to match any of the near infrared (NIR) biological windows, where undesired absorption/scattering are minimal. In this mini review, the basic mechanisms and principal benefits of this light-driven approach to generate ROS will be discussed. Additionally, some significant experiments in vitro and in vivo will be presented, and tentative new avenues for further research will be advanced.

Abstract
Noble metal Au nanoparticles have attracted extensive interests in the past decades, due to their size and morphology dependent localized surface plasmon resonances. Their unique optical property, high chemical stability, good biocompatibility, and easy functionalization make them promising candidates for a variety of biomedical applications, including bioimaging, biosensing, and cancer therapy. With the intention of enhancing their optical response in the near infrared window and endowing them with additional magnetic properties, Au nanoparticles have been integrated with other functional nanomaterials that possess complementary attributes, such as copper chalcogenides and magnetic metal oxides. The as constructed hybrid nanostructures are expected to exhibit unconventional properties compared to their separate building units, due to nanoscale interactions between materials with different physicochemical properties, thus broadening the application scope and enhancing the overall performance of the hybrid nanostructures. In this review, we summarize some recent progresses in the design and synthesis of noble metal Au-based hybrid inorganic nanostructures for nanomedicine applications, and the potential and challenges for their clinical translations.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an intratesticular injection of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on reproductive parameters and health of rats, and to evaluate the AgNPs biodistribution in order to develop a nanotechnological contraceptive agent for male animals. Treated animals received 220 μL of AgNPs solution (0.46 µg-Ag/ml) in each testicle and were euthanized: seven, 14, 28, and 56 days after injection. A significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the percentage of motile sperm in D7 (8.8%) was observed, comparing to the control (73.3%), D14 (86.0%), D28 (68.2%), and D56 (90.0%) groups. D7 group also presented a decrease (p < 0.05) in the percentage of normal spermatozoa. Additionally, D7 group showed an increase (p < 0.05) in abnormal midpiece and sperm head morphology compared to the Control group. Seminiferous tubules presented all germline cell types and spermatozoa for all groups. However, D7 group did not present spermatozoa in the epididymis, whereas some spermatozoa and cellular debris were visible in D14 and D28 groups. All animals presented hematological parameters, creatinine, and alanine aminotransferase values within the normal limits for Wistar rats. The percentage of silver found in the liver was always higher than in the other organs analyzed. A pioneering mathematical model is proposed, from which the half-life time of silver in the liver (17 days), spleen (23 days), lungs (30 days), and kidneys (35 days) was extracted. In conclusion, some acute and severe toxic effects were observed in sperm cells following intratesticular injection of AgNPs, although these effects were reversible. No adverse effects to general animal health were observed.

Abstract
An upsurge in the multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pestilence is a global cause for concern in terms of human health. Lately, nanomaterials with photothermal effects have assisted in the efficient killing of MDR bacteria, attributable to their uncommon plasmonic, photocatalytic, and structural properties. Examinations of substantial amounts of photothermally enabled nanomaterials have shown bactericidal effects in an optimized time under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. In this review, we have compiled recent advances in photothermally enabled nanomaterials for antibacterial activities and their mechanisms. Photothermally enabled nanomaterials are classified into three groups, including metal-, carbon-, and polymer-based nanomaterials. Based on substantial accomplishments with photothermally enabled nanomaterials, we have inferred current trends and their prospective clinical applications.

Abstract
As an emerging antitumor strategy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted intensive attention for the treatment of various malignant tumors owing to its noninvasive nature and high spatial selectivity in recent years. However, the therapeutic effect is unsatisfactory on some occasions due to the presence of some unfavorable factors including nonspecific accumulation of PS towards malignant tissues, the lack of endogenous oxygen in tumors, as well as the limited light penetration depth, further hampering practical application. To circumvent these limitations and improve real utilization efficiency, various enhanced strategies have been developed and explored during the past years. In this review, we give an overview of the state-of-the-art advances progress on versatile nanoplatforms for enhanced PDT considering the enhancement from targeting or responsive, chemical and physical effect. Specifically, these effects mainly include organelle-targeting function, tumor microenvironment responsive release photosensitizers (PS), self-sufficient O2 (affinity oxygen and generating oxygen), photocatalytic water splitting, X-rays light stimulate, surface plasmon resonance enhancement, and the improvement by resonance energy transfer. When utilizing these strategies to improve the therapeutic effect, the advantages and limitations are addressed. Finally, the challenges and prospective will be discussed and demonstrated for the future development of advanced PDT with enhanced efficacy.

Abstract
Global multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are spreading rapidly and causing a great threat to human health due to the abuse of antibiotics. Determining how to resensitize MDR bacteria to conventional inefficient antibiotics is of extreme urgency. Here, a low-temperature photothermal treatment (PTT, 45 °C) is utilized with red phosphorus nanoparticles to resensitize methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to conventional aminoglycoside antibiotics. The antibacterial mechanism is studied by the proteomic technique and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, which proves that the aminoglycoside antibiotics against MRSA can be selectively potentiated by low-temperature PTT. The catalytic activity of 2-aminoglycoside phosphotransferase (APH (2″))-a modifying enzyme-is demonstrated to be obviously inhibited via detecting the consumption of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the catalytic reaction. It is also found that the active site of aspartic acid (ASP) residues in APH (2″) is thermally unstable from the results of molecular dynamics simulation. Its catalytic ability is inhibited by preventing the deprotonating procedure for the target -OH of gentamycin. The combined therapy also exhibits great biocompatibility and successfully treats MRSA infections in vivo. This low-temperature PTT strategy has the potential to be an exogenous-modifying enzyme inhibitor for the treatment of MDR bacterial infection.

Abstract
Therapeutic efficacy of synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is limited by complex conjugation chemistry, absorption wavelength mismatch, and inadequate biodegradability of the PDT-PTT agents. Herein, we designed biocompatible copper sulfide nanodot anchored folic acid-modified black phosphorus nanosheets (BP-CuS-FA) to overcome these limitations, consequently enhancing the therapeutic efficiency of PDT-PTT. In vitro and in vivo assays reveal good biocompatibility and commendable tumor inhibition efficacy of the BP-CuS-FA nanoconjugate because of the synergistic PTT-PDT mediated by near-infrared laser irradiation. Importantly, folic acid unit could target folate receptor overexpressed cancer cells, leading to enhanced cellular uptake of BP-CuS-FA. BP-CuS-FA also exhibits significant contrast effect for photoacoustic imaging, permitting its in vivo tracking. The photodegradable character of BP-CuS-FA is associated with better renal clearance after the antitumor therapy in vivo. The present research may facilitate further development on straightforward approaches for targeted and imaging-guided synergistic PDT-PTT of cancer.

Abstract
Thermoradiotherapy acts as an important antitumor modality because heating can increase the blood flow and improve the oxygen level in tumor, thus remission of hypoxia-associated resistance for radiotherapy (RT). However, most agents for thermoradiotherapy are used either in the first near-infrared biological window or low photothermal conversion efficiency. Here, a facile method to prepare CuxS/Au nanocomposites via reduction methods from CuxS templates in mild synthetic conditions (i.e., aqueous solution and room temperature) is presented. After the growth of Au nanoparticles, the CuxS/Au nanocomposites have greater benefits for photothermal efficiency than that of CuxS nanoparticles due to the enhanced absorbance in the second near-infrared window. Moreover, biocompatibility and stability of these nanocomposites are greatly improved by lipoic acid poly(ethylene glycol). After the tumors were irradiated with a 1064 nm laser, their oxygenation status is subsequently improved, and the combination of photothermal therapy and RT achieves remarkable synergistic therapeutic effects. This work provides a novel idea to design a new-generation nanomedicine for tumor thermoradiotherapy.

Abstract
The metastasis and recurrence of tumors are the main reasons for cancer death. In this work, a promising therapy for tumor treatment that can eliminate primary tumors and prevent tumor relapses is introduced by combining chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT) and immunotherapy. Multifunctional FePt/MoS2-FA nanocomposites (FPMF NCs) were obtained via anchoring FePt nanoparticles and folic acid (FA) on MoS2 nanosheets. As an efficient ferroptosis agent, FePt nanoparticles could catalyze the Fenton reaction to produce the reactive oxygen species (ROS). Through the highly effective photothermal conversion of MoS2 nanosheets, the primary tumor cells could be ablated by photothermal therapy (PTT). Moreover, the metastatic tumors were eliminated effectively with the help of oligodeoxynucleotides containing cytosine-guanine (CpG ODNs) combined with systemic checkpoint blockade therapy using an anti-CTLA4 antibody. Even more intriguingly, a strong immunological memory effect was obtained by this synergistic therapy. Taking all these results into consideration, we anticipate that the photo-chemo-immunotherapy strategies show great promise toward the development of a multifunctional platform for anticancer therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanomedicines have become a recent research focus as a candidate for cancer treatment because of their effectiveness, sensibility, and minimal invasiveness. In this work, a novel nanosystem is developed based on Cu2- x S@MnS core-shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) in which the Cu2- x S core serves as a photosensitizer to generate hyperthermia and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the MnS shell is used in H2O2-responsive O2 production. Cu2 -x S@MnS CSNPs with an independent core and shell ratio are synthesized by a controllable hot-injection method, resulting in an optimal photothermal (PT) effect with a PT conversion efficiency of up to 47.9%. An enhanced photodynamic (PD) effect also occurs in an H2O2 environment. More significantly, in vivo experiments demonstrate that Cu2 -x S@MnS CSNPs can mediate tumor shrinkage in both HeLa tumor cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, with the capability of being used as a T1-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent. These results suggest the great potential of as-prepared Cu2 -x S@MnS CSNPs as photo/H2O2-responsive therapeutic-agents against tumors, even in a complicated and heterogeneous environment, thus promoting the clinical translation of nanomedicine.

Abstract
Small copper sulfide nanoparticles (s-Cu2-xS NPs, 0 < x < 1) with a core size of less than 5.5 nm have unique physicochemical characteristics and pharmacokinetic properties and have attracted substantial attention from researchers in the field of biomedicine in recent years. After exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light, s-Cu2-xS NPs can rapidly convert light energy into heat for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT). In addition, the potential for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, along with the low toxicity and low cost, makes s-Cu2-xS NPs a promising multifunctional diagnostic reagent. This Review outlines recent advances in s-Cu2-xS NPs for molecular imaging and tumor therapy and discusses the challenges associated with successful clinical translation.

Abstract
New ordered architectures or morphologies could be obtained through the self-assembly process and usually generate new physical and chemical properties. Here we report an adjustable self-assembly research study on copper sulphide nanocrystals (Cu1.94S NCs) forming five kinds of plant-like morphologies. Hydrophobic Cu1.94S quantum dots were prepared in the CHCl3 phase and transferred to the aqueous phase and capped with cysteine or penicillamine through a ligand exchange technique. Afterwards, a facile and eco-friendly self-assembly process (without using any template or surfactant) was employed. Through regulating the conditions including the solvent composition, surface ligand and starting concentration of Cu1.94S NCs, five delicate architectures were obtained. In addition, the possible formation process and growth mechanism of the obtained three-dimensional (3D) Cu1.94S architectures was also proposed and discussed. The assembled Cu1.94S architectures show improved molar extinction coefficients compared with individual Cu1.94S NCs, and in this way, better photothermal performance is achieved.

Abstract
Intracellular microRNA (miRNA) imaging remains a key challenge due to its low abundance. Herein, we integrate a rationally designed elegant entropy-driven DNA probe with assisted DNA fuel on hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (HCuSNPs) for intracellular miRNA imaging. The anchored assisted DNA fuel strand could be efficiently released by a NIR-II laser irradiation induced photothermal effect of the HCuSNPs. The DNA machine was activated by target miRNA binding and powered by NIR-responsive released DNA fuel through toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions, accomplished by strong fluorescence recovery. It demonstrated 2 orders of magnitude improvement in the detection sensitivity compared to molecular beacons (MBs). Reliable intracellular low-abundance miRNA imaging among different cells and monitoring of down-regulated miRNA was realized without external enzyme or fuel addition. Oncogenic miRNA imaging in vivo was also realized. The entropy-driven DNA machine system provides a facile and powerful tool for intracellular miRNA analysis and related biomedical applications.

Abstract
Inspired by cocktails, we designed a medium term (2-20 weeks) male contraceptive strategy. Through a sequential injection process of four reagents (calcium alginate hydrogel, PEG-Au nanoparticles (PEG-AuNps), EDTA, and PEG-AuNps), physical clogging of the vas deferens and chemical inhibition of the sperm motility were realized simultaneously. The contraceptive period could be directly preset by adjusting the injection ratio of each reagent. More interesting, the embolism area could be readily dredged through a short-time noninvasive near-infrared irradiation. The present study offered an effective and reversible manner to fill the gap of current medium-term contraceptive strategy. In addition, the proposed in vivo pipeline plugging technology, with a flexible noninvasive self-cleared characteristic, might also provide a convenient and reliable strategy for some other biomedical engineering researches.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are widely used in many clinical applications, but implant-associated infection may lead to implant failure. Because of the increasing concern about antibiotic resistant pathogen, photothermal therapy (PTT) as a new treatment strategy has received considerable attention. In this work, gold nanorods (GNRs) photoexcited by the near-infrared (NIR) light were immobilized on Ti surface by electrostatic surface self-assembly technique. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to explore the morphology and composition of the GNRs-modified surface. The photothermal temperature of the immobilized GNRs was measured by an infrared thermal imaging system in real time. In vitro study reveal that the prepared GNRs-modified surface exhibits antibacterial activity against four kinds of bacterial strains including both Gram-negative bacilli (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis) under the irradiation of 808 nm laser. Besides, the antibacterial efficiency of the GNRs-modified surface could keep stable after multiple laser exposure. It should be noted that the GNRs-modified surface shows better antibacterial effect against Gram-negative bacilli compared to Gram-positive cocci. Moreover, the GNRs-modified surface has no obvious adverse effect to the osteoblast precursor cells under NIR irradiation. These data demonstrate that the GNRs-modified surface with negligible cytotoxicity and recyclable antibacterial effect provides a favorable model for the translation of photothermal therapy to the clinical application.

Abstract
The chronic infection of humans by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their related biofilm have, so far, not been properly addressed. In the present work, we developed a novel antibacterial nanoplatform showing the most efficient antibiotic-resistant bacteria inhibition and biofilm eradication. This particular formulation contains tobramycin-conjugated graphene oxide, for efficiently capturing bacteria through electrostatic interactions and eliminating bacteria as a "nano-knife", and copper sulphide nanoparticles for enhancing the photothermal and photodynamic properties. This novel formulation can selectively eliminate bacteria over NIH 3T3 cells, and the biofilm eradication capacity was up to 70%. Importantly, the nanoplatforms can inhibit bacterial growth and promote the repair of antibiotic-resistant bacteria-infected wounds on rats without non-specific damage to normal tissue. This work provides an effective, simple, and rapid method for the design and fabrication of near-infrared light-induced nanoplatforms that offer possibilities to treat biofilm-related infections.

Abstract
Antioxidative therapy has been considered an efficient strategy for the treatment of a series of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered diseases, including oxidative-stress-induced periodontal disease. However, current natural enzymes and nanozymes often show their high specificity toward given ROS and have insufficient antioxidative effects against multiple ROS generated in the diseases process. Meanwhile, multienzyme-based antioxidant defense systems are usually confined by the complicated synthesis as well as potential unwanted residue and toxicity. Various supports are highly needed to immobilize natural enzymes and antioxidants during the biorelated usages due to their low operational stability and difficulty of reuse. To overcome these limitations, we develop a high-performance platform by using biodegradable polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) as smart ROS scavengers in oxidative stress-induced periodontal disease. Although PDA-based materials are well-known to eliminate ROS both in vitro and in vivo, their antioxidative performance in periodontal disease and relative mechanisms have yet to be well-explored. In this study, PDA NPs can act as ROS scavengers in dental specialties with ideal outcomes. Spectroscopic and in vitro experiments provide strong evidence for the roles of PDA NPs in scavenging multiple ROS and suppressing ROS-induced inflammation reactions. In addition to the above investigations, the results from a murine periodontitis model clearly demonstrate the feasibility of PDA NPs as robust antioxidants with which to remove ROS and decrease periodontal inflammation without any side effects. Taken together, the results from our present study will provide valuable insight into the development of safe and efficient antioxidant defense platforms for further biomedical uses.

Abstract
A scalable and low-cost strategy is developed to fabricate a novel CuS/SiO2-based nanotherapeutic agent for dual-model imaging-guided photothermal/photodynamic combined therapy. In this design, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with CuS bundled in the channel are obtained in aqueous solution via in situ growth route for the first time. Furthermore, to achieve a more efficient therapy, photosensitizer (complex Ir-2) and bovine serum albumin are sequentially assembled via layer-by-layer method. The as-prepared complex Ir-2 presents a remarkably high 1O2 generation (ΦΔ = 1.3) under light illumination to offer effective photodynamic cell killing, and MSN/CuS exhibits high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 31.7%) under illumination by 808 nm light to offer hyperthermia tumor ablation. In vitro and in vivo analyses show that the as-obtained nanotherapeutic agents exhibit excellent performance in tumor therapy even under irradiation with low power because of the high yield of 1O2 combined with the high photothermal conversion efficiency. Additionally, the nanotherapeutic agents are readily visualized in vivo via near-infrared fluorescence and thermal imaging. More importantly, based on the strategy of in situ growth and layer-by-layer assembly developed in this study, the development of other "all-in-one" multifunctional theranostic platform with high efficiency can be predictable.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, especially multidrug-resistant bacteria, and their global spreading have become serious public health concerns. Early diagnosis and effective therapy can efficiently prevent deterioration and further spreading of the infections. There is an urgent need for sensitive, selective, and facile diagnosis as well as therapeutically potent treatment. The emergence of nanotechnology has provided more options for diagnosis and treatments of bacterial infections. Metal nanoparticles and metal oxide nanoparticles have drawn intense attention owing to their unique optical, magnetic, and electrical properties. These versatile metal-based nanoparticles have great potential for selective detection of bacteria and/or therapy. This review gives an overview of recent efforts on developing various metal-based nanoparticles for bacterial detection and infection therapy. It begins with an introduction of fundamental concepts and mechanisms in designing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Representative achievements are selected to illustrate the proof-of-concept in vitro and in vivo applications. A brief discussion of challenges and perspective outlook in this field is provided at the end of this review.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as one of the promising cancer therapy approaches. However, nanoparticles (NPs) which are used for PTT might be biopersistent and potentially toxic. The current research explores the promising use of Fe3O4 nanoflowers as nontoxic, efficient photothermal, and strong T2 type magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for imaging-guided photothermal cancer therapy. In this study, a facile solvothermal method is used to fabricate PEG-coated Fe3O4 nanoflowers with controllable dimensions. Their successful fabrication, the effect of the reaction parameters, and their magnetic properties are investigated in depth. The therapeutic performance of the Fe3O4 nanoflowers (Fe-NFs) is evaluated and compared with commercially available black TiO2 nanoparticles (b-TiO2) under an 808 nm laser. The photothermal therapy efficiency of the Fe-NFs is observed to be better than that of the reported Fe3O4 nanoparticles. In vitro and in vivo investigation demonstrates that the therapeutic performance of the Fe-NFs is comparable to that of b-TiO2. Moreover, the Fe-NFs show excellent magnetic properties and magnetic resonance imaging capability to monitor therapeutic performance.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxia is one of the major challenges for the treatment of tumors, as it may negatively affect the efficacy of various anticancer modalities. In this study, a tumor-targeted redox-responsive composite biocatalyst is designed and fabricated, which may combine tumor starvation therapy and low-temperature photothermal therapy for the treatment of oxygen-deprived tumors. The nanosystem was prepared by loading porous hollow Prussian Blue nanoparticles (PHPBNs) with glucose oxidase (GOx) and then coating their surface with hyaluronic acid (HA) via redox-cleavable linkage, therefore allowing the nanocarrier to bind specifically with CD44-overexpressing tumor cells while also exerting control over the cargo release profile. The nanocarriers are designed to enhance the efficacy of the hypoxia-suppressed GOx-mediated starvation therapy by catalyzing the decomposition of intratumoral hydroperoxide into oxygen with PHPBNs, and the enhanced glucose depletion by the two complementary biocatalysts may consequently suppress the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) after photothermal treatment to reduce their resistance to the PHPBN-mediated low-temperature photothermal therapies.

Abstract
Plasmonic compound nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted great interest because they are prepared at lower cost and show unique optical properties. However, full replacement of the plasmonic noble metal NPs with the compound NPs has been difficult because most of the compound NPs exhibit plasmon resonance in the infrared range owing to low free carrier density and mobility. In order to overcome this limitation, we developed a new synthetic method for plasmonic MoO2 and MoO3-x NPs. Those NPs exhibit plasmon resonance at ∼500 nm and 600-1000 nm, respectively, likely because of high carrier densities. The plasmonic properties of the NPs are tunable by changing the synthetic conditions or oxidizing and reducing the NPs. Their refractive index sensitivities are 115-260 nm RIU-1. Those molybdenum oxide NPs are expected to substitute for plasmonic noble metal NPs in optical, electronic, sensing and light harvesting devices and materials.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoshell (MSN) coating has been demonstrated as a versatile surface modification strategy for various kinds of inorganic functional nanoparticles, such as gold nanorods (GNRs), to achieve not only improved nanoparticle stability but also concomitant drug loading capability. However, limited drug loading capacity and low tumor accumulation rate in vivo are two major challenges for the biomedical applications of MSN-coated GNRs (GNR@MSN). In this study, by coating uniformly sized GNRs with MSN in an oil-water biphase reaction system, we have successfully synthesized a new bacteria-like GNR@MSN (i.e., bGNR@MSN) with a significantly enlarged pore size (4-8 nm) and surface area (470 m2/g). After PEGylation and highly efficient loading of doxorubicin (DOX, 40.9%, w/w), bGNR@MSN were used for positron emission tomography (PET, via facile and chelator-free 89Zr-labeling) and photoacoustic imaging-guided chemo-photothermal cancer therapy in vivo. PET imaging showed that 89Zr-labeled bGNR@MSN(DOX)-PEG can passively target to the 4T1 murine breast cancer-bearing mice with high efficiency (∼10 %ID/g), based on enhanced permeability and retention effect. Significantly enhanced chemo-photothermal combination therapy was also achieved due to excellent photothermal effect and near-infrared-light-triggered drug release by bGNR@MSN(DOX)-PEG at the tumor site. The promising results indicate great potential of bGNR@MSN-PEG nanoplatforms for future cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Gold (Au) core@void@copper sulfide (CuS) shell (Au-CuS) yolk-shell nanoparticles (YSNPs) were prepared in the present study for potential chemo-, photothermal, and photodynamic combination therapy, so-called "chemophototherapy". The resonance energy transfer (RET) process was utilized in Au-CuS YSNPs to achieve both enhanced photothermal and photodynamic performance compared with those of CuS hollow nanoparticles (HNPs). A series of Au nanomaterials as cores that had different localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption peaks at 520, 700, 808, 860, and 980 nm were embedded in CuS HNPs to screen the most effective Au-CuS YSNPs according to the RET process. Thermoresponsive polymer was fabricated on these YSNPs' surface to allow for controlled drug release. Au808-CuS and Au980-CuS YSNPs were found capable of inducing the largest temperature elevation and producing the most significant hydroxyl radicals under 808 and 980 nm laser irradiation, respectively, which could accordingly cause the most severe 4T1 cell injury through oxidative stress mechanism. Moreover, doxorubicin-loaded (Dox-loaded) P(NIPAM-co-AM)-coated Au980-CuS (p-Au980-CuS@Dox) YSNPs could more efficiently kill cells than unloaded particles upon 980 nm laser irradiation. After intravenous administration to 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, p-Au980-CuS YSNPs could significantly accumulate in the tumor and effectively inhibit the tumor growth after 980 nm laser irradiation, and p-Au980-CuS@Dox YSNPs could further potentiate the inhibition efficiency and exhibit excellent in vivo biocompatibility. Taken together, this study sheds light on the rational design of Au-CuS YSNPs to offer a promising candidate for chemophototherapy.
