Abstract
The acidic characteristic of the tumor site is one of the most well-known features and provides a series of opportunities for cancer-specific theranostic strategies. In this regard, pH-responsive theranostic nanoplatforms that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities are highly developed. The fluidity of the tumor microenvironment (TME), with its temporal and spatial heterogeneities, makes noninvasive molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology very desirable for imaging TME constituents and developing MRI-guided theranostic nanoplatforms for tumor-specific treatments. Therefore, various MRI-based theranostic strategies which employ assorted therapeutic modes have been drawn up for more efficient cancer therapy through the raised local concentration of therapeutic agents in pathological tissues. In this review, we summarize the pH-responsive mechanisms of organic components (including polymers, biological molecules, and organosilicas) as well as inorganic components (including metal coordination compounds, metal oxides, and metal salts) of theranostic nanoplatforms. Furthermore, we review the designs and applications of pH-responsive theranostic nanoplatforms for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In addition, the challenges and prospects in developing theranostic nanoplatforms with pH-responsiveness for cancer diagnosis and therapy are discussed.

Abstract
Engineered magnetic nanoparticles combining diagnosis and therapy functions into one entity hold great potential to rejuvenate cancer treatment; however, they are still constrained by the "always on" signals and unsatisfactory therapeutic effect. Here, we report an intelligent theranostic probe based on Mn3O4 tetragonal bipyramids (MnTBs), which simultaneously respond to H+ and glutathione (GSH) with high sensitivity and quickly decompose to release Mn2+ in mild acidic and reductive intracellular environments. Mn2+ binds to the surrounding proteins to achieve a remarkable relaxivity amplification and selectively brighten the tumors. Particularly, this MR signal improvement is also effective in the detection of millimeter-sized liver metastases, with an ultrahigh contrast of 316%. Moreover, Mn2+ would trigger chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by exerting the Fenton-like activity to generate ˙OH from H2O2. Subsequently, a significant tumor suppression effect can be achieved by the GSH depletion-enhanced CDT. Besides, MnTBs manifest efficient urinary and hepatic excretions with biodegradability and minimal systemic toxicity. A pH/GSH dual responsive nanoprobe that integrates tumor diagnostic and therapeutic activities was developed to provide a new paradigm for precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors and metastases.

Abstract
With the development of modern biomedicine, biological analysis and detection are very important in disease diagnosis, detection of curative effect, prognosis and prediction of tumor recurrence. Compared with the currently widely used optical probes based on intensity signals, the lifetime signal does not depend on the influence of conditions such as the concentration of luminophore, tissue penetration depth and measurement method. Therefore, biological detection methods based on lifetime-based responsive probes have attracted great attention from the scientific community. Here, we briefly review the key advances in lifetime-based responsive probes in recent years (2017-2022). The review focuses on the design strategies of lifetime-based responsive probes and the research progress of their applications in the field of bioanalysis, and discusses the challenges they face. We hope it will further promote the development of lifetime-based responsive probes in the field of bioanalysis.

Abstract
Timely and accurate diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and simultaneous functional imaging of cerebral oxygen saturation (sO2) are essential to improve the survival rate of stroke patients but remains challenging. Herein, we developed a pH-responsive manganese (Mn)-based nanoplatform as a magnetic resonance/photoacoustic (MR/PA) dual-modal contrast agent for AIS diagnosis. The Mn-based nanoplatform was prepared via a simple and green biomimetic method using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a scaffold for fabrication of MnCO3 NPs as the T1 MR contrast agent and accommodation of indocyanine green (ICG) as the PA probe. The obtained MnCO3@BSA-ICG NPs were biocompatible and exhibited a pH-responsive longitudinal relaxation rate and a concentration-dependent PA signal. In vivo MR/PA dual-modal imaging demonstrated that MnCO3@BSA-ICG NPs quickly and efficiently led to the MR/PA contrast enhancements in the infarcted area while not in the normal region, allowing a timely and accurate diagnosis of AIS. Moreover, PA imaging could directly monitor the sO2 level, enabling a functional imaging of AIS. Therefore, MnCO3@BSA-ICG NPs could be applied as a potential MR/PA contrast agent for timely and functional imaging of AIS.

Abstract
Rationale: Sensitive and accurate imaging of cancer is essential for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. For generally employed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinic, comprehending how to enhance the contrast effect of T1 imaging is crucial for improving the sensitivity of cancer diagnosis. However, there is no study ever to reveal the clear mechanism of how to enhance the effect of T1 imaging and accurate relationships of influencing factors. Herein, this study aims to figure out key factors that affect the sensitivity of T1 contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI), thereby to realize sensitive detection of tumors with low dose of CAs. Methods: Manganese oxide (MnO) nanoparticles (NPs) with various sizes and shapes were prepared by thermal decomposition. Factors impacting T1 CE-MRI were investigated from geometric volume, surface area, crystal face to r2/r1 ratio. T1 CE-MR imaging of liver, hepatic and subcutaneous tumors were conducted with MnO NPs of different shapes. Results: The surface area and occupancy rate of manganese ions have positive impacts on the sensitivity of T1 CE-MRI, while volume and r2/r1 ratio have negative effects. MnO octahedrons have a high r1 value of 20.07 mM-1s-1 and exhibit an excellent enhanced effect in liver T1 imaging. ZDS coating facilitates tumor accumulation and cellular uptake, hepatic and subcutaneous tumors could be detected with MnO octahedrons at an ultralow dose of 0.4 mg [Mn]/kg, about 1/10 of clinical dose. Conclusions: This work is the first quantitative study of key factors affecting the sensitivity of T1 CE-MRI of MnO nanoparticles, which can serve as a guidance for rational design of high-performance positive MRI contrast agents. Moreover, these MnO octahedrons can detect hepatic and subcutaneous tumors with an ultralow dose, hold great potential for sensitive and accurate diagnosis of cancer with lower cost, less dosages and side effects in clinic.

Abstract
Engineered magnetic nanoparticles have been extensively explored for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis of a tumor to improve the visibility. However, most of these nanoparticles display "always-on" signals without tumor specificity, causing insufficient contrast and false positives. Here, we provide a new paradigm of MRI diagnosis using MnCO3 nanorhombohedras (MnNRs) as an ultrasensitive T1-weighted MRI contrast agent, which smartly enhances the MR signal in response to the tumor microenvironment. MnNRs would quickly decompose and release Mn2+ at mild acidity, one of the pathophysiological parameters associated with cancer malignancy, and then Mn2+ binds to surrounding proteins to achieve a remarkable amplification of T1 relaxivity. In vivo MRI experiments demonstrate that MnNRs can selectively brighten subcutaneous tumors from the edge to the interior may be because of the upregulated vascular permeation at the tumor edge, where cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis are more active. Specially, benefiting from the T2 shortening effect in normal liver tissues, MnNRs can detect millimeter-sized liver metastases with an ultrahigh contrast of 294%. The results also indicate an effective hepatic excretion of MnNRs through the gallbladder. As such, this pH-activatable MRI strategy with facility, biocompatibility, and excellent efficiency may open new avenues for tumor malignancy and metastasis diagnosis and holds great promise for precision medicine.

Abstract
Imaging-guided cancer theranostic is a promising strategy for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an approved treatment modality, is limited by the poor solubility and dispersion of photosensitizers (PS) in biological fluids. Herein, it is demonstrated
that superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-based nanoparticles (SCFs), prepared by conjugated with Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and modified with folic acid (FA) on the surface, can be used as versatile drug delivery vehicles for effective PDT. The nanoparticles are great carriers for photosensitizer Ce6
with an extremely high loading efficiency. In vitro fluorescence imaging and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results indicated that SCFs selectively accumulated in tumor cells. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, SCFs were confirmed to be capable of inducing low cell
viability of RM-1 cells In vitro and displaying efficient tumor ablation with negligible side effects in tumor-bearing mice models.

Abstract
In this study, we designed near-infrared (NIR)-responsive Mn2+-doped melanin-like poly(L-DOPA) nanoparticles (MNPs), which act as multifunctional nano-platforms for cancer therapy. MNPs, exhibited favorable π-π stacking, drug loading, dual stimuli (NIR and glutathione) responsive drug release, photothermal and photodynamic therapeutic activities, and T1-positive contrast for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). First, MNPs were fabricated via KMnO4 oxidation, where the embedded Mn2+ acted as a T1-weighted contrast agent. MNPs were then modified using a photosensitizer, Pheophorbide A, via a reducible disulfide linker for glutathione-responsive intracellular release, and then loaded with doxorubicin through π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The therapeutic potential of MNPs was further explored via targeted design. MNPs were conjugated with folic acid (FA) and loaded with SN38, thereby demonstrating their ability to bind to different anti-cancer drugs and their potential as a versatile platform, integrating targeted cancer therapy and MRI-guided photothermal and chemotherapeutic therapy. The multimodal therapeutic functions of MNPs were investigated in terms of T1-MR contrast phantom study, photothermal and photodynamic activity, stimuli-responsive drug release, enhanced cellular uptake, and in vivo tumor ablation studies.

Abstract
A biomedical contrast agent serves to enhance the visualisation of a specific (potentially targeted) physiological region. In recent years, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have developed as a flexible imaging platform of tuneable size/morphology, abundant surface chemistry, biocompatibility and otherwise useful physiochemical properties. This review discusses MSN structural types and synthetic strategies, as well as methods for surface functionalisation. Recent applications in biomedical imaging are then discussed, with a specific emphasis on magnetic resonance and optical modes together with utility in multimodal imaging.

Cheng H, Zhang H, Xu G, Peng J, Wang Z, Sun B, Aouameur D, Fan Z, Jiang W, Zhou J, Ding Y. A Combinative Assembly Strategy Inspired Reversibly Borate-Bridged Polymeric Micelles for Lesion-Specific Rapid Release of Anti-Coccidial Drugs. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2020; 12:155. [PMID: 34138187 PMCID: PMC7770674 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-020-00495-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS A combined assembly strategy from hydrophobicity-driving and reversible borate bridges is proposed for high drug-loading efficiency and superior stability. Intestinal environment-triggered drug delivery system represents an effective treatment for local infection due to the site-specific targeting and shuttling of drugs. The reduced dosage brought by the drug-loading micelles could solve the problem of drug residue in breeding industry. ABSTRACT Stimuli-triggered drug delivery systems hold vast promise in local infection treatment for the site-specific targeting and shuttling of drugs. Herein, chitosan conjugates (SPCS) installed with sialic acid (SA) and phenylboronic acid (PBA) were synthesized, of which SA served as targeting ligand for coccidium and reversible-binding bridge for PBA. The enhanced drug-loading capacity of SPCS micelles was attributed to a combination assembly from hydrophobicity-driving and reversible borate bridges. The drug-loaded SPCS micelles shared superior biostability in upper gastrointestinal tract. After reaching the lesions, the borate bridges were snipped by carbohydrates under a higher pH followed by accelerated drug release, while SA exposure on micellar surface facilitated drug cellular internalization to eliminate parasites inside. The drug-micelles revealed an enhanced anti-coccidial capacity with a higher index of 185.72 compared with commercial preparation. The dual-responsive combination of physicochemical assembly could provide an efficient strategy for the exploitation of stable, safe and flexible anti-infectious drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Development of T1/T2 dual-mode MRI contrast agents that can also treat cancer is an attractive prospect for personalized precision medicine. Unfortunately, conventional contrast agents can suffer from toxicity and lack any ability to treat cancer. An all-iron T1/T2 MR imaging agent with photothermal and drug delivery capability would overcome these issues. Here, an avocado-like Fe3+/Fe2O3 composed T1-T2 dual-mode contrast agent based on Fe-TA coordination network (CNMN) is developed. This material possesses suitable longitudinal and transverse relaxation coefficients. Moreover, the strong heat generation property of Fe-TA endows CNMN with the capability to act as a potent photothermal agent. Furthermore, CNMN can also act as an effective delivery platform for the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) to achieve high effective chemo-photothermal combination therapy. The work demonstrates reliable T1-T2 MRI-guided chemo-photothermal therapy for safe and effective clinical application.

Abstract
Despite all of the efforts in the field of cancer therapy, the heterogeneous properties of tumor cells induce an insufficient therapeutic outcome when treated with conventional monotherapies, necessitating a shift in cancer treatment from monotherapy to combination therapy for complete cancer treatment. Multifunctional bismuth (Bi)-based nanomaterials (NMs) with therapeutic functions hold great promise for the fields of cancer diagnosis and therapy based on their low toxicity, X-ray sensitive capabilities, high atomic number, near-infrared driven semiconductor properties, and low cost. Herein, a comprehensive review of recent advances in various medicinal aspects of Bi-based NMs is presented including: evaluation of in-tumor site accumulation, tumor targeting, and therapeutic performance, as well as the characteristics, benefits, and shortcomings of Bi-based NM-mediated major monotherapies. In addition, the cooperative enhancement mechanisms between two or more of these monotherapies are described in detail to address common challenges in cancer therapy, such as multidrug resistance, hypoxia, and metastasis. Finally, this review opens new insights into the design of multimodal synergistic therapies for potential future clinical applications of Bi-based NMs.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients suffer from severe pain due to the serious systemic side effects and low efficiency of chemotherapeutic drugs, and it is important to develop novel drug delivery systems to circumvent these issues. In this study, a series of galactose-based glycopolymers, poly(N-(prop-2-enoyl)-β-d-galactopyranosylamine)-b-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (pGal(OH)-b-pNIPAA), were prepared through a sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH)-mediated removal of acetyl groups. Hydrophilic doxorubicin hydrochloride was introduced to undergo collaborative assembly with poly(N-(prop-2-enoyl)-β-d-peracetylated galactosamine)-b-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (pGal(Ac)-b-pNIPAA) via TBAOH treatment. pGal-b-pNIPAA/doxorubicin (DOX) delivery nanoparticles (GND NPs) formed by collaborative assembly were fully characterized by NMR, TEM and FT-IR, indicating the well-controlled formation of particles with uniform size and high efficiency in terms of drug loading and encapsulation compared with conventional adsorption methods. Meanwhile, the GND NPs were observed to be rapidly disintegrated under acidic conditions and resulted in an increased release of DOX. Cellular experiments showed that pGal-b-pNIPAA/DOX is apparently an asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR)-mediated target of HCC, resulting in enhanced cellular uptake to HepG2 cells and anti-tumor efficacy in vitro. Furthermore, GND NPs III exerted more sustainable and effective anti-tumor effects compared to free DOX on a transgenic zebrafish TO(KrasG12V) model in vivo. These results indicated that the biocompatible nanomaterials developed by collaborative assembly with galactosyl diblock glycopolymers and DOX may serve as a promising candidates for targeting therapy of HCC.

Abstract
The coordination of valeric acid (VA), glutaric acid (GA), and tricarballylic acid (TA) with Fe-OH on the Fe3O4 nanoparticle surface has been systematically studied to elucidate the effects of COOH, molecular configuration, and ligand concentration on the coordination by the combined use of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show that the binding ability of the acids increases with the increase in the COOH number. Multiple conformations coexist for the dicarboxylic and tricarboxylic acid coordinated on the iron oxide NPs. Saturated coordination formed with only a one-, two-, or three-COOH conformation for VA, GA, and TA, respectively, occurs under ligand-scarce conditions, while unsaturated coordination formed with the mixture of uncoordinated, one-, and/or two-COOH conformations for VA, GA, and TA, respectively, exists under ligand-abundant conditions. The maximum coordination numbers for monolayer adsorption for VA, GA, and TA on Fe3O4 NPs are 9, 2.4, and 2.7 nm-2, respectively. This study helps us to understand the fine coordination mechanism caused by the acid molecules with different configurations and elucidates, for the first time, the fine conformational variance incurred by the surrounding ligand with different concentrations and the way in which the ligand is added.

Abstract
A magnetic-pH dual responsive drug delivery system was prepared for antibacterial therapy to reduce the side effects on nonpathological cells or tissues. Iron oxide (Fe3O4) core was surface-functionalized with silane coupling agents to link β‑cyclodextrin (β-CD) (CDMNP), and a polypseudorotaxanes shell where polyethyleneglycol chains threaded much CD molecules was further prepared on the magnetic Fe3O4 core (CDMNP-PEG-CD) to enhance loading capacity of roxithromycin (ROX). CDMNP-PEG-CD with a hydrodynamic diameter of ~168 nm was cytocompatible, superparamagnetic, magnetic-responsive and stable for 180 min of storage. No significant interaction with serum albumin was shown for the nanocomposites. The in vitro release from ROX-loaded CDMNP-PEG-CD nanocomposites was about 76% of total drug within 30 min at pH 1.0, 1.6-fold of that at pH 7.4 and 2-fold of that at pH 8.0, presenting pH-responsive drug release behaviors. The nanocomposites showed positive antibacterial activity against both E. coli and S. aureus based on an agar diffusion method. The antibacterial activity of the nanocomposites was more sensitive against E. coli than S. aureus, and the inhibition halo against E. coli was 85% more than that of Fe3O4. CDMNP-PEG-CD nanocomposites allowed for the localization and fast concentration of hydrophobic drugs, providing a broad potential range of therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Iron oxide based magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as typical theranostic nanoagents have been popularly used in various biomedical applications. Conventional core–shell MNPs are usually synthesized from inside to outside. This method has strict requirements on the interface properties of magnetic cores and the precursors of the coating shell. The shape and size of MNPs are significantly influenced by that of the pre-synthesized magnetic cores. Most core–shell MNPs have only single T2W MRI imaging ability. Herein, we propose a new synthetic strategy for core-mesoporous shell structural MNPs, where hollow mesoporous nanospheres which exhibit an intrinsic property for both CT imaging and drug loading were used as the shell and the magnetic cores were produced in the cavity of the shell. A new type of MNPs, Fe3O4@ZrO2 nanoparticles (M-MZNs), were developed using this facile outside-to-inside way, where multiple Fe3O4 nanoparticles grew inside the cavity of the mesoporous hollow ZrO2 nanospheres through chemical coprecipitation. The obtained MNPs not only exhibited superior magnetic properties and CT/MR imaging ability but also high drug loading capacity. In vitro experiment results revealed that M-MZNs-PEG loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) presented selective growth inhibition against cancer cells due to pH-sensitive DOX release and enhanced endocytosis by cancer cells under a magnetic field. Furthermore, the proposed MNPs exhibited CT/MRI dual modal imaging ability and effective physical targeting to tumor sites in vivo. More importantly, experiments of magnetic targeting chemotherapy on tumor bearing mice demonstrated that the nanocomposites significantly suppressed tumor growth without obvious pathological damage to major organs. Henceforth, this study provides a new strategy for CT/MRI dual-modal imaging guided and magnetic targeting cancer therapy. Magnetic mesoporous zirconia nanoparticle was synthesized by producing multiple iron oxide cores inside the cavity of mesoporous ZrO2 hollow nanospheres and was used for CT/MRI dual-modal imaging and magnetic targeting chemotherapy.![]()

Abstract
Here, we report the development of monodisperse Zn-doped iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) with different amounts of Zn (Zn x Fe3-x O4, 0 < x < 0.43) by thermal decomposition of a mixture of zinc and iron oleates. The as-synthesized NPs show a considerable fraction of wüstite (FeO) which is transformed to spinel upon 2 h oxidation of the NP reaction solutions. At any Zn doping amounts, we observed the enrichment of the NP surface with Zn2+ ions, which is enhanced at higher Zn loadings. Such a distribution of Zn2+ ions is attributed to the different thermal decomposition profiles of Zn and Fe oleates, with Fe oleate decomposing at much lower temperature than that of Zn oleate. The decomposition of Zn oleate is, in turn, catalyzed by a forming iron oxide phase. The magnetic properties were found to be strongly dependent on the Zn doping amounts, showing the saturation magnetization to decrease by 9 and 20% for x = 0.05 and 0.1, respectively. On the other hand, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy near the Fermi level demonstrates that the Zn0.05Fe2.95O4 sample displays a more metallic character (a higher charge carrier density) than undoped iron oxide NPs, supporting its use as a spintronic material.

Abstract
Water wetting behavior in nanometer dimensions is of great importance to the signal transmission and substance transport of organisms, e.g., aquaporins on cell membranes. A biological channel can control the transport of water and ions by regulating channel wettability, which results from the transition between the intrinsic hydrophobic state and the stimulus-induced hydration state. Inspired by aquaporins in nature, herein, a biomimetic free-blocking on-demand delivery system is proposed, which is constructed by controlling the wettability of the inner surface of nanochannels of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Such a system is completely different from the traditional physically occluding pore controlled release system. It circumvents the use of other extra capping agents, thus overcoming the limitations of the traditional nano "gate" blockage system with inherent instability, poor plugging capability and low biocompatibility. Additionally, further applications in drug delivery have shown that this system can selectively release entrapped drugs in beta cells triggered by intracellular glucose in a controlled manner but not in normal cells. This hydrophobic gating drug delivery system with simple and effective performance provides a new opportunity for constructing a mass transport platform from the perspective of surface wettability.

Abstract
We report on the design and fabrication of a Fe3O4 core-mesoporous silica nanoparticle shell (Fe3O4@MSNs)-based mitochondria-targeting drug nanocarrier. A guanidinium derivative (GA) was conjugated onto the Fe3O4@MSNs as the mitochondria-targeting ligand. The fabrication of the Fe3O4@MSNs and their functionalization with GA were carried out by the sol-gel polymerization of alkoxysilane groups. Doxorubicin (DOX), an anti-cancer drug, was loaded into the pores of a GA-attached Fe3O4@MSNs due to both its anti-cancer properties and to allow for the fluorescent visualization of the nanocarriers. The selective and efficient mitochondria-targeting ability of a DOX-loaded GA-Fe3O4@MSNs (DOX/GA-Fe3O4@MSNs) was demonstrated by a co-localization study, transmission electron microscopy, and a fluorometric analysis on isolated mitochondria. It was found that the DOX/GA-Fe3O4@MSNs selectively accumulated into mitochondria within only five minutes; to the best of our knowledge, this is the shortest accumulation time reported for mitochondria targeting systems. Moreover, 2.6 times higher amount of DOX was accumulated in mitochondria by DOX/GA-Fe3O4@MSNs than by DOX/TPP-Fe3O4@MSNs. A cell viability assay indicated that the DOX/GA-Fe3O4@MSNs have high cytotoxicity to cancer cells, whereas the GA-Fe3O4@MSNs without DOX are non-cytotoxic; this indicates that the DOX/GA-Fe3O4@MSNs have great potential for use as biocompatible and effective mitochondria-targeting nanocarriers for cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the prevalence of therapeutic approaches involving transplanted cells increases, so does the need to noninvasively track the cells to determine their homing patterns. Of particular interest is the fate of transplanted embryonic stem cell-derived hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) used to restore the bone marrow pool following sublethal myeloablative irradiation. The early homing patterns of cell engraftment are not well understood at this time. Until now, longitudinal studies were hindered by the necessity to sacrifice several mice at various time points of study, with samples of the population of lymphoid compartments subsequently analyzed by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. Thus, long-term study and serial analysis of the transplanted cells within the same animal was cumbersome, making difficult an accurate documentation of engraftment, functionality, and cell reconstitution patterns. METHODS Here, we devised a noninvasive, nontoxic modality for tracking early HPC homing patterns in the same mice longitudinally over a period of 9 days using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS This approach of potential translational importance helps to demonstrate efficient uptake of MSNs by the HPCs as well as retention of MSN labeling in vivo as the cells were traced through various organs, such as the spleen, bone marrow, and kidney. Altogether, early detection of the whereabouts and engraftment of transplanted stem cells may be important to the overall outcome. To accomplish this, there is a need for the development of new noninvasive tools. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that multifunctional MSNs can label viably blood-borne HPCs and may help document the distribution and homing in the host followed by successful reconstitution.

Abstract
The precise tumor cell-specific delivery of therapeutic proteins and the elimination of side effects associated with routine chemotherapeutic agents are two current critical considerations for tumor therapy. In this study, we report a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-activated yolk-shell nanoplatform for the tumor-specific co-delivery of cytochrome c (Cyt c) prodrug and doxorubicin, in which the bioactivity of Cyt c could be restored by the intracellular ROS-trigger and readily initiate the sequential doxorubicin release. The DOX-loaded lactobionic acid-modified yolk-shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles were first encapsulated with 4-nitrophenyl 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzyl carbonate (NBC)-modified Cyt c via boronic ester linkages, and functionalized again with lactobionic acid to further shield Cyt c and confer the selective tumor targeting against liver cancer cells. The key feature in this design is that by taking advantage of the boronic ester linkage, the cytotoxicity of Cyt c capped on the nanoparticle could be temporarily deactivated during blood transportation and rapidly restored upon exposure to the ROS-rich microenvironment within liver cancer cells, thereby simultaneously achieving the protein therapy and stimuli-responsive doxorubicin release. This study presents a novel strategy for the development of tumor-sensitive co-delivery nanoplatforms.

Abstract
Predetermining the physico-chemical properties, biosafety, and stimuli-responsiveness of nanomaterials in biological environments is essential for safe and effective biomedical applications. At the forefront of biomedical research, mesoporous silica nanoparticles and mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles are increasingly investigated to predict their biological outcome by materials design. In this review, it is first chronicled that how the nanomaterial design of pure silica, partially hybridized organosilica, and fully hybridized organosilica (periodic mesoporous organosilicas) governs not only the physico-chemical properties but also the biosafety of the nanoparticles. The impact of the hybridization on the biocompatibility, protein corona, biodistribution, biodegradability, and clearance of the silica-based particles is described. Then, the influence of the surface engineering, the framework hybridization, as well as the morphology of the particles, on the ability to load and controllably deliver drugs under internal biological stimuli (e.g., pH, redox, enzymes) and external noninvasive stimuli (e.g., light, magnetic, ultrasound) are presented. To conclude, trends in the biomedical applications of silica and organosilica nanovectors are delineated, such as unconventional bioimaging techniques, large cargo delivery, combination therapy, gaseous molecule delivery, antimicrobial protection, and Alzheimer's disease therapy.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanomaterial is a typical example of a magnetic resonance imaging probe for negative contrast. It has also been shown how this nanomaterial can be synthesized for positive contrast by modification of the composition and size of the core. However, the role of the organic coating in the relaxometric properties is largely unexplored. Here, maghemite nanoparticles with either excellent positive or very good negative contrast performance are obtained by modifying coating thickness while the core is kept unchanged. Different nanoparticles with tailored features as contrast agent according to the coating layer thickness have been obtained in a single-step microwave-driven synthesis by heating at different temperatures. A comprehensive analysis is conducted of how the composition and structure of the coating affects the final magnetic, relaxometric, and imaging performance. These results show how the organic coating plays a fundamental role in the intrinsic relaxometric parameters of iron oxide-based contrast media.

To achieve an excellent delivery effect of drug, stimuli-responsive nano "gate" with physical blockage units is usually constructed on the surface of the mesoporous silica nanocarriers (MSNs). In nature, the aquaporins in cell membrane can control the transport of water molecules by regulating the channel wettability, which is resulted from the conformational change of amino acids in the channel. Inspired by this phonomenon, herein a new concept of free-blockage controlled release system is proposed, which is achieved by controlling the wettability of the internal surface of nanopores on MSNs. Such a new system is different from the physical-blockage controlled release system, which bypasses the use of nano "gate" and overcomes the limitations of traditional physical blockage system. Moreover, further studies have shown that the system can selectively release the entrapped doxorubicin in human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells triggered by intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) but not in normalhuman umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) containing ROS with low levels. The wettability-determined free-blockage controlled release system is simple and effective, and it can also be triggered by intracellular biological stimuli, which provides a new approach for the future practical application of drug delivery and cancer therapy.

Abstract
This study reports a multifunctional nanoparticle (NP) that can be used for amplified magnetic resonance image (MRI)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) due to its surface coating with a polydopamine (PDA) shell. Importantly, by means of introducing the surface coating of PDA, large quantities of water can be trapped around the NPs allowing more efficient water exchange, leading to greatly improved MR contrast signals compared with those from NPs without the PDA coating. Further, a distinct photothermal effect can be obtained arising from the strong absorption of PDA in the near-infrared (NIR) region. By synthesizing multifunctional MnCO3@PDA NPs, for example, we found that the longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of MnCO3 NPs can improve from 5.7 to 8.3 mM-1 s-1. Subsequently, in vitro MRI and PTT results verified that MnCO3@PDA could serve as an excellent MRI/PTT theranostic agent. Furthermore, the MnCO3@PDA NPs were applied as an MRI/PTT theranostic agent for in vivo MRI-guided photothermal ablation of tumors by intratumoral injection in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. The MR imaging result shows a significantly bright MR image in the tumor site. The MnCO3@PDA-mediated PTT result shows high therapeutic efficiency as a result of high photothermal conversion efficiency. The present strategy of amplified MRI-guided PTT based on PDA coating of NPs will be widely applicable to other multifunctional NPs.
