Abstract
Despite the superior efficacy of radiotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), radioresistance by cancer stem cells (CSCs) leads to recurrence, metastasis, and treatment failure. Therefore, it is necessary to develop CSC-based therapies to enhance radiotherapy. miR-339-5p (miR339) is involved in stem cell division and DNA damage checkpoint signaling pathways based on ESCC cohort. miR339 inhibited ESCC cell stemness and enhanced radiation-induced DNA damage by targeting USP8, suggesting that it acts as a potential CSC regulator and radiosensitizer. Considering the limited circulating periods and poor tumor-targeting ability of miRNA, a multifunctional nanoplatform based on bismuth sulfide nanoflower (Bi@PP) is developed to efficiently deliver miR339 and improve radioresistance. Intriguingly, Bi@PP encapsulates more miR339 owing to their flower-shaped structure, delivering more than 1000-fold miR339 into cells, superior to free miR339 alone. Besides being used as a carrier, Bi@PP is advantageous for dynamically monitoring the distribution of delivered miR339 in vivo while simultaneously inhibiting tumor growth. Additionally, Bi@PP/miR339 can significantly enhance radiotherapy efficacy in patient-derived xenograft models. This multifunctional platform, incorporating higher miRNA loading capacity, pH responsiveness, hypoxia relief, and CT imaging, provides another method to promote radiosensitivity and optimize ESCC treatment.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases caused by atherosclerosis (AS) seriously damage human health. Nano-photothermal technology has been proven to inhibit the development of vascular inflammation by inhibiting the proliferation of inflammatory macrophages. However, photothermal therapy can inhibit the enrichment of AS macrophages in the early stage, but the inhibitory effect is insufficient in the later stage. Herein, we designed and prepared CoS1.097 nanocrystals by a simple hydrothermal method as new nanoplatforms for efficient photothermal therapy of arterial inflammation. CoS1.097 nanocrystals exhibited the degradability to release the cobalt ions, and can inhibit the proliferation of macrophages both in vitro and in vivo resulting from the slowly released cobalt ions. Moreover, CoS1.097 nanocrystals showed intense absorption in the NIR region, thus showing excellent photothermal performance. When irradiated by an 808 nm laser, the photothermal effect of CoS1.097 nanocrystals can more efficiently kill the macrophages which play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. As far as we know, this is the first work on CoS1.097 nanocrystals for photothermal therapy of arterial inflammation.

Abstract
Thrombus has long been the major contributor of death and disability because it can cause adverse effects to varying degrees on the body, resulting in vascular blockage, embolism, heart valve deformation, widespread bleeding, etc. However, clinically, conventional thrombolytic drug treatments have hemorrhagic complication risks and easy to miss the best time of treatment window. Thus, it is an urgent need to investigate newly alternative treatment strategies that can reduce adverse effects and improve treatment effectiveness. Drugs based on nanomaterials act as a new biomedical strategy and promising tools, and have already been investigated for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in thrombus therapy. Recent studies have some encouraging progress. In the present review, we primarily concern with the latest developments in the areas of nanomedicines targeting thrombosis therapy. We present the thrombus' formation, characteristics, and biomarkers for diagnosis, overview recent emerging nanomedicine strategies for thrombus therapy, and focus on the future design directions, challenges, and prospects in the nanomedicine application in thrombus therapy.

Abstract
The uptake and the fate of Zr-based metal-organic-framework nanoparticles labeled with organic fluorophores in HeLa cells has been monitored with fluorescence detection and elemental analysis. The nanoparticles have been selected as a model system of carrier nanoparticles (here Zr-based metal-organic-framework nanoparticles) with integrated cargo molecules (here organic fluorophores), with aze that does not allow for efficient exocytosis, a material which only partly degrades under acidic conditions as present in endosomes/lysosomes, and with limited colloidal stability. Data show that, for Zr-based metal-organic-framework nanoparticles of 40 nm size as investigated here, the number of nanoparticles per cells decreases faster due to particle redistribution upon proliferation than due to nanoparticle exocytosis and that, thus, also for this system, exocytosis is not an efficient pathway for clearance of the nanoparticles from the cells.

Abstract
Cu3BiS3 thin films are fabricated via spin coating of precursor solutions containing copper and bismuth xanthates onto planar glass substrates or mesoporous metal oxide scaffolds followed by annealing at 300 °C to convert the metal xanthates into copper bismuth sulfide. Detailed insights into the film formation are gained from time-resolved simultaneous small and wide angle X-ray scattering measurements. The Cu3BiS3 films show a high absorption coefficient and a band gap of 1.55 eV, which makes them attractive for application in photovoltaic devices. Transient absorption spectroscopic measurements reveal that charge generation yields in mesoporous TiO2/Cu3BiS3 heterojunctions can be significantly improved by the introduction of an In2S3 interlayer, and long-lived charge carriers (t50% of 10 μs) are found.

Abstract
The drugs targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have gained abundant clinical applications for cancer immunotherapy. However, only a part of patients benefit from such immunotherapy. Thus, brilliant novel tactic to increase the response rate of patients is on the agenda. Nanocarriers, particularly the rationally designed intelligent delivery systems with controllable therapeutic agent release ability and improved tumor targeting capacity, are firmly recommended. In light of this, state-of-the-art nanocarriers that are responsive to tumor-specific microenvironments (internal stimuli, including tumor acidic microenvironment, high level of GSH and ROS, specifically upregulated enzymes) or external stimuli (e.g., light, ultrasound, radiation) and release the target immunomodulators at tumor sites feature the advantages of increased anti-tumor potency but decreased off-target toxicity. Given the fantastic past achievements and the rapid developments in this field, the future is promising. In this review, intelligent delivery platforms targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis are attentively appraised. Specifically, mechanisms of the action of these stimuli-responsive drug release platforms are summarized to raise some guidelines for prior PD-1/PD-L1-based nanocarrier designs. Finally, the conclusion and outlook in intelligent delivery system targeting PD-1/PD-L1 pathway for cancer immunotherapy are outlined.

Abstract
Precise and on-demand release of sufficient hydrogen (H2 ) to tumor sites remains a key challenge for emerging H2 -oncotherapy, and little is known about the physiological effects of "abundant" H2 on complex tumor microenvironments (TME). Here, a highly efficient and cost-effective imaging-guided/-assessed H2 -therapy of tumors based on a joint electrochemo-sonodynamic treatment (H2 -EC/SD co-therapy) with strong "domino effect" triggered by endogenous H2 generation at tumor sites is reported to speedily eliminate tumor tissue (≤80 mm3 ) within 1 day. Adequate H2 is controllably generated in tumor sites through mild electrochemistry in vivo due to acidic TME by using clinical acupuncture Fe needles as electrodes. Besides starvation damage due to gas blockage/destruction of vessels, nano-/micro-bubbles of H2 formed in situ can elevate the tumor's internal temperature and burst vessels to further destroy the tumor under ultrasound irradiation. Remarkably, vulnerable homeostasis of TME is disturbed as H2 also participates in the physiological activity of tumor cells, leading to tumor dysfunction. Last but not least, the body's inflammatory response to cancer is reduced after the treatment, which is beneficial for the body's immune system during post-treatment recovery. Based on all of these merits, the H2 -EC/SD co-therapy provides a potentially safe and viable therapeutic strategy for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Background: Malignant bone tumors usually occur in young people and have a high mortality and disability rate. Surgical excision commonly results in residual bone tumor cells and large bone defects, and conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy may cause significant side effects. In this study, a bifunctional Bi-BG scaffold for near-infrared (NIR)-activated photothermal ablation of bone tumors and enhanced bone defect regeneration is fabricated. Methods: In this study, we prepared the Bi-BG scaffold by in-situ generation of NIR-absorbing Bi coating on the surface of a 3D-printing bioactive glass (BG) scaffold. SEM was used to analyze the morphological changes of the scaffolds. In addition, the temperature variation was imaged and recorded under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation in real time by an infrared thermal imaging system. Then, the proliferation of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and Saos-2 on the scaffolds was examined by CCK-8 assay. ALP activity assay and RT-PCR were performed to test the osteogenic capacity. For in vivo experiments, the nude rat tumor-forming and rat calvarial defect models were established. At 8 weeks after surgery, micro-CT, and histological staining were performed on harvested calvarial samples. Results: The Bi-BG scaffolds have outstanding photothermal performance under the irradiation of 808 nm NIR at different power densities, while no photothermal effects are observed for pure BG scaffolds. The photothermal temperature of the Bi-BG scaffold can be effectively regulated in the range 26-100°C by controlling the NIR power density and irradiation duration. Bi-BG scaffolds not only significantly induces more than 95% of osteosarcoma cell death (Saos-2) in vitro, but also effectively inhibit the growth of bone tumors in vivo. Furthermore, they exhibit excellent capability in promoting osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs and finally enhance new bone formation in the calvarial defects of rats. Conclusion: The Bi-BG scaffolds have bifunctional properties of photothermal antitumor therapy and bone regeneration, which offers an effective method to ablate malignant bone tumors based on photothermal effect.

Abstract
Phototheranostic based on photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), as one of avant-garde medical techniques, have sparked growing attention because it allows noninvasive, deeply penetrative, and highly selective and effective therapy. Among a variety of phototheranostic nanoagents, single-component inorganic nanostructures are found to be novel and attractive PAI and PTT combined nanotheranostic agents and received tremendous attention, which not only exhibit structural controllability, high tunability in physiochemical properties, size-dependent optical properties, high reproducibility, simple composition, easy functionalization, and simple synthesis process, but also can be endowed with multiple therapeutic and imaging functions, realizing the superior therapy result along with bringing less foreign materials into body, reducing systemic side effects and improving the bioavailability. In this review, according to their synthetic components, conventional single-component inorganic nanostructures are divided into metallic nanostructures, metal dichalcogenides, metal oxides, carbon based nanostructures, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes, graphdiyne and other nanostructures. On the basis of this category, their detailed applications in PAI guide PTT of tumor treatment are systematically reviewed, including synthesis strategies, corresponding performances, and cancer diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. Before these, the factors to influence on photothermal effect and the principle of in vivo PAI are briefly presented. Finally, we also comprehensively and thoroughly discussed the limitation, potential barriers, future perspectives for research and clinical translation of this single-component inorganic nanoagent in biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
One of the greatest benefits of nanomedicine elucidated to date includes the non-invasive tracking and monitoring of living organisms by the selective uptake of harmless metallic nanoparticles. Several nanoscale probes have been employed for biomolecular imaging. Among them, fluorescent
nanoscale silicon materials have been recently established with a strong and safe potential for bioimaging and biosensing applications due to their bright fluorescence coupled with strong photostability, biocompatibility and negligible toxicity. Herein, we developed high-quality silicon nanomaterials
(4–5 nm; SiNPs) as biological fluorescent probes for bioimaging of living organisms through an easy aquatic synthesis method with a quantum yield of ∼8%. In this regard, we report that the presently synthesized SiNPs-based sensors/probes are attractive materials for solvent-based
fluorescence measurements and are biocompatible, non-toxic, highly photo-stable and pH stable. Most importantly, their fluorescence lifetime is much longer than that of native probes in living cells. Thus, these presently formulated SiNPs are improved fluorescent probes for in vivo
biological imaging in zebra fish embryos as well as numerous other living organisms and, thus, should be further studied.

Abstract
Exploration of the biological behavior and fate of nanoparticles, as affected by the nanomaterial-biology (nano-bio) interaction, has become progressively critical for guiding the rational design and optimization of nanomedicines to minimize adverse effects, support clinical translation, and aid in evaluation by regulatory agencies. Because of the complexity of the biological environment and the dynamic variations in the bioactivity of nanomedicines, in-situ, label-free analysis of the transport and transformation of nanomedicines has remained a challenge. Recent improvements in optics, detectors, and light sources have allowed the expansion of advanced light source (ALS) analytical technologies to dig into the underexplored behavior and fate of nanomedicines in vivo. It is increasingly important to further develop ALS-based analytical technologies with higher spatial and temporal resolution, multimodal data fusion, and intelligent prediction abilities to fully unlock the potential of nanomedicines. In this Outlook, we focus on several selected ALS analytical technologies, including imaging and spectroscopy, and provide an overview of the emerging opportunities for their applications in the exploration of the biological behavior and fate of nanomedicines. We also discuss the challenges and limitations faced by current approaches and tools and the expectations for the future development of advanced light sources and technologies. Improved ALS imaging and spectroscopy techniques will accelerate a profound understanding of the biological behavior of new nanomedicines. Such advancements are expected to inspire new insights into nanomedicine research and promote the development of ALS capabilities and methods more suitable for nanomedicine evaluation with the goal of clinical translation.

Abstract
Controllable nano-assembly with stimuli-responsive groups is emerging as a powerful strategy to generate theranostic nanosystems that meet unique requirements in modern medicine. However, this prospective field is still in a proof-of-concept stage due to the gaps in our understanding of complex-(nano-assemblies)-complex-(biosystems) interactions. Indeed, stimuli-responsive assembly-disassembly is, in and of itself, a process of nano-bio interactions, the key steps for biological fate and functional activity of nano-assemblies. To provide a comprehensive understanding of these interactions in this review, we first propose a 4W1H principle (Where, When, What, Which and How) to delineate the relevant dynamic biological processes, behaviour and fate of nano-assemblies. We further summarize several key parameters that govern effective nano-bio interactions. The effects of these kinetic parameters on ADMET processes (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and transformation) are then discussed. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the challenges facing the evaluation of nano-bio interactions of assembled nanodrugs. We finally conclude with future perspectives on safe-by-design and application-driven-design of nano-assemblies. This review will highlight the dynamic biological and physicochemical parameters of nano-bio interactions and bridge discrete concepts to build a full spectrum understanding of the biological outcomes of nano-assemblies. These principles are expected to pave the way for future development and clinical translation of precise, safe and effective nanomedicines with intelligent theranostic features.

Abstract
This study reports a hybrid lipo-polymeric nanosystem (PDPC NPs) synthesized by a modified hydrogel-isolation technique. The ability of the nanosystem to encapsulate hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules has been demonstrated, and their enhanced cellular uptake has been observed in vitro. The PDPC NPs, surface coated with gold by in situ reduction of chloroauric acid (PDPC-Au NPs), showed a photothermal transduction efficacy of ∼65%. The PDPC-Au NPs demonstrated an increase in intracellular ROS, triggered DNA damage and resulted in apoptotic cell death when tested against breast cancer cells (MCF-7). The disintegration of PDPC-Au NPs into smaller nanoparticles with near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation was understood using transmission electron microscopy imaging. The lipo-polymeric hybrid nanosystem exhibited plasmon-enhanced fluorescence when loaded with IR780 (a NIR dye), followed by surface coating with gold (PDPC-IR-Au NPs). This paper is one of the first reports on the plasmon-enhanced fluorescence within a nanosystem by simple surface coating of Au, to the best of our knowledge. This plasmon-enhanced fluorescence was unique to the lipo-polymeric hybrid system, as the same was not observed with a liposomal nanosystem. The plasmon-enhanced fluorescence of PDPC-IR-Au NPs, when applied for imaging cancer cells and zebrafish embryos, showed a strong fluorescence signal at minimal concentrations of the dye. The PDPC-IR-Au NPs were also applied for photothermal therapy of breast cancer in vitro and in vivo, and the results depicted significant therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
Achieving a complete response to cancer treatment is a severe challenge, and has puzzled humans for a long time. Fortunately, radiotherapy (RT) gives rise to a common clinical treatment method, during which the usage of radiosensitizers is essential. Among preclinical radiosensitizers, bismuth-based nanoparticles (Bi-based NPs) are widely explored in cancer diagnosis and treatment, because they share favourable properties, such as low toxicity, strong X-ray absorption and facile preparation. However, pure Bi alone cannot achieve both efficient and safe RT outcomes, mainly due to poor targeting of tumor sites, long retention-induced systemic toxicity and immune resistance. This work provides an overview of recent advances and developments in Bi-based NPs that are tailored to enhance radiosensitivity. For the fabrication process, surface modification of Bi-based NPs is essential to achieve tumor-targeted delivery and penetration. Moreover, the incorporation of other elements, such as Fe ions, can increase diagnostic accuracy with optimal theranostic efficacy. Meanwhile, the structure-activity relationship can also be manipulated to maximize the chemotherapeutic drug loading capability of Bi-based NPs, to enhance X-ray attenuation by means of a large surface area or to achieve safer metabolic routes with rapid clearance from the human body. In addition, Bi-based NPs exhibit synergistic antitumor potential when combined with diverse therapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). To summarize, the latest research on Bi-based NPs as radiosensitizers is described in the review, including both their advantages and disadvantages for improving treatment, thus providing a useful guide for future clinical application.

Abstract
The rapid development of nanotechnology has generated numerous ideas for cancer treatment, and a wide variety of relevant nanoparticle platforms have been reported. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely investigated as an anti-cancer drug delivery vehicle owing to their unique porous hybrid structure, biocompatibility, structural tunability, and multi-functionality. MOF materials with catalytic activity, known as nanozymes, have applications in photodynamic and chemodynamic therapy. Nucleic acids have also attracted increasing research attention owing to their programmability, ease of synthesis, and versatility. A variety of functional DNAs and RNAs have been applied both therapeutically (gene-targeting drugs for cancer treatment) and nontherapeutically (used as modified materials to enhance the therapeutic effects of other nanomedicines). The combined use of MOFs and functional nucleic acids have been extensively investigated and has been associated with excellent tumor-suppressor activity in various treatment methods. In this review, we summarize the progress in the research and development of tumor therapy based on MOFs and nucleic acid delivery over recent years, focusing on the combinational use of different delivery and design strategies for MOF/therapeutic nucleic acid platforms. We further summarize the strategies for combining MOFs (universal carrier, functional carrier) and nucleic acids (therapeutic nucleic acids, nontherapeutic nucleic acids) and discuss the corresponding therapeutic effects in cancer treatment. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor. It is ranked the sixth most common neoplasm and the third most common cause of cancer mortality. At present, the most common treatment for HCC is surgery, but the 5-year recurrence rates are still high. Patients with early stage HCC with few nodules can be treated with resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA); while for multinodular HCC, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been the first-line treatment. In recent years, based on medical engineering cooperation, nanotechnology has been increasingly applied to the treatment of cancer. Photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy are effective for cancer. This paper summarizes the latest progress of photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy for HCC, with the aim of providing new ideas for the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
The complexity of tumor microenvironment and the diversity of tumors seriously affect the therapeutic effect, the focus, therefore, has gradually been shifted from monotherapy to combination therapy in clinical research in order to improve the curative effect. The synergistic enhancement interactions among multiple monotherapies majorly contribute to the birth of the multi-mode cooperative therapy, whose effect of the treatment is clearly stronger than that of any single therapy. In addition, the accurate diagnosis of the tumour location is also crucial to the treatment. Bismuth-based nanomaterials (NMs) hold great properties as promising theranostic platforms based on their many unique features that include low toxicity, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency as well as high ability of X-ray computed tomography imaging and photoacoustic imaging. In this review, we will introduce briefly the main features of tumor microenvironment first and its effect on the mechanism of nanomedicine actions and present the recent advances of bismuth-based NMs for diagnosis and photothermal therapy-based combined therapies using bismuth-based NMs are presented, which may provide a new way for overcoming drug resistance and hypoxia. At the end, further challenges and outlooks regarding this promising field are discussed accompanied with some design tips for bismuth-based NMs, hoping to provide researchers some inspirations to design safe and effective nanotherapeutic agents for the clinical treatments of cancers.

Abstract
The limited depth of the near infrared (NIR) response is one of the major flaws of the present photothermal therapy (PTT). In this article, thermosensitive polyurethane urea (TPUU) was synthesized by polymerization. Subsequent experiments showed that, compared with classical photosensitizers, TPUU has higher photothermal effects and lower cytotoxicity. These valuable properties could make the present PTT research provide more therapeutic options among different tissues and organs. As a practical example, TPUU was applied to regulate the intestinal flora through external NIR irradiation, which implied its promising expanded applications in deeper tissues.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a minimally invasive procedure for treating cancer. The two significant prerequisites of PTT are the photothermal therapeutic agent (PTA) and near-infrared radiation (NIR). The PTA absorbs NIR, causing hyperthermia in the malignant cells. This increased temperature at the tumor microenvironment finally results in tumor cell damage. Nanoparticles play a crucial role in PTT, aiding in the passive and active targeting of the PTA to the tumor microenvironment. Through enhanced permeation and retention effect and surface-engineering, specific targeting could be achieved. This novel delivery tool provides the advantages of changing the shape, size, and surface attributes of the carriers containing PTAs, which might facilitate tumor regression significantly. Further, inclusion of surface engineering of nanoparticles is facilitated through ligating ligands specific to overexpressed receptors on the cancer cell surface. Thus, transforming nanoparticles grants the ability to combine different treatment strategies with PTT to enhance cancer treatment. This review emphasizes properties of PTAs, conjugated biomolecules of PTAs, and the combinatorial techniques for a better therapeutic effect of PTT using the nanoparticle platform.

Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterials that have inherently exceptional physicochemical properties (e.g., catalytic, optical, thermal, electrical, or magnetic performance) that can provide desirable functionality (e.g., drug delivery, diagnostics, imaging, or therapy) have considerable potential for application in the field of biomedicine. However, toxicity can be caused by the long-term, non-specific accumulation of these inorganic nanomaterials in healthy tissues, preventing their large-scale clinical utilization. Over the past several decades, the emergence of biodegradable and clearable inorganic nanomaterials has offered the potential to prevent such long-term toxicity. In addition, a comprehensive understanding of the design of such nanomaterials and their metabolic pathways within the body is essential for enabling the expansion of theranostic applications for various diseases and advancing clinical trials. Thus, it is of critical importance to develop biodegradable and clearable inorganic nanomaterials for biomedical applications. This review systematically summarizes the recent progress of biodegradable and clearable inorganic nanomaterials, particularly for application in cancer theranostics and other disease therapies. The future prospects and opportunities in this rapidly growing biomedical field are also discussed. We believe that this timely and comprehensive review will stimulate and guide additional in-depth studies in the area of inorganic nanomedicine, as rapid in vivo clearance and degradation is likely to be a prerequisite for the future clinical translation of inorganic nanomaterials with unique properties and functionality.

Abstract
Bone diseases constitute a major issue for modern societies as a consequence of progressive aging. Advantages such as open mesoporous channel, high specific surface area, ease of surface modification, and multifunctional integration are the driving forces for the application of mesoporous nanoparticles (MNs) in bone disease diagnosis and treatment. To achieve better therapeutic effects, it is necessary to understand the properties of MNs and cargo delivery mechanisms, which are the foundation and key in the design of MNs. The main types and characteristics of MNs for bone regeneration, such as mesoporous silica (mSiO2 ), mesoporous hydroxyapatite (mHAP), mesoporous calcium phosphates (mCaPs) are introduced. Additionally, the relationship between the cargo release mechanisms and bone regeneration of MNs-based nanocarriers is elucidated in detail. Particularly, MNs-based smart cargo transport strategies such as sustained cargo release, stimuli-responsive (e.g., pH, photo, ultrasound, and multi-stimuli) controllable delivery, and specific bone-targeted therapy for bone disease diagnosis and treatment are analyzed and discussed in depth. Lastly, the conclusions and outlook about the design and development of MNs-based cargo delivery systems in diagnosis and treatment for bone tissue engineering are provided to inspire new ideas and attract researchers' attention from multidisciplinary areas spanning chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most rapidly growing malignancies in terms of morbidity and mortality. Although traditional treatments have been used for more than 50 years, it is still far from solving the problems of postoperative risks and systemic toxicity. Emerging targeting and immunotherapy are developing continuously and are gaining recognition; eventually, they face the inevitable challenge of drug resistance. Nanotechnology has several important effects on lung cancer treatment, owing to its unique properties. Several nanoparticle-based treatments have successfully become cancer treatments. Good biocompatibility with higher specific surface area can carry substantial amounts of lung cancer treatment medications while avoiding medication toxicity; editable and modified characteristics give rise to multifunctional nanomedicines; excellent photoelectric effects make lung cancer a multimodal treatment. This article summarizes the breakthroughs achieved by nanotechnology, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, reflecting the importance and necessity of nanotechnology in the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
High-efficiency nanotheranostic agents with multimodal imaging guidance have attracted considerable interest in the field of cancer therapy. Herein, novel silver-decorated bismuth-based heterostructured polyvinyl pyrrolidone nanoparticles (NPs) with good biocompatibility (Bi-Ag@PVP NPs) were synthesized for accurate theranostic treatment, which can integrate computed tomography (CT)/photoacoustic (PA) imaging and photodynamic therapy/photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT) into one platform. The Bi-Ag@PVP NPs can enhance light absorption and achieve a better photothermal effect than bismuth NPs. Moreover, after irradiation under an 808 nm laser, the Bi-Ag@PVP NPs can efficiently induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby synergizing PDT/PTT to exert an efficient tumor ablation effect both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, Bi-Ag@PVP NPs can also be employed to perform enhanced CT/PA imaging because of their high X-ray absorption attenuation and enhanced photothermal conversion. Thus, they can be utilized as a highly effective CT/PA imaging-guided nanotheranostic agent. In addition, an excellent antibacterial effect was achieved. After irradiation under an 808 nm laser, the Bi-Ag@PVP NPs can destroy the integrity of Escherichia coli, thereby inhibiting E. coli growth, which can minimize the risk of infection during cancer therapy. In conclusion, our study provides a novel nanotheranostic platform that can achieve CT/PA-guided PDT/PTT synergistic therapy and have potential antibacterial properties. Thus, this work provides an effective strategy for further broad clinical application prospects.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials with unique physical and chemical properties have recently attracted widespread attention in the field of solar thermal conversion. However, affected by the Fresnel effect, traditional two-dimensional materials such as MXenes, graphene, transition metal disulfide often have relatively significant light reflection losses at the solid-liquid or gas interface. So how to improve the light absorption of the two-dimensional material performance has become a new challenge in photothermal conversion. Here, we use an improved thermal-injection method to uniformly grow Tricopper(I) Bismuth Sulfide (Cu3BiS3, CBS) on the surface of Ti3C2 nanosheets in a nonaqueous polar solvent environment. A three-dimensional nanoflower-nanosheet structure CBS-Ti3C2 for photothermal conversion has been constructed successfully. Owing to the excellent photothermal performance of Cu3BiS3 in the near-infrared region, the good thermal conductivity of Ti3C2, and the unique porous structure of the composite material, the composite achieves broadband absorption of light (more than 90% in the visible light region, more than 80% in the near-infrared region), which optical model and finite element simulation have theoretically verified. The composite material has obtained higher solar-to-heat conversion performance than similar material systems, and the steady-state temperature can reach 62.3 °C under 1 sun incident light intensity. CBS-Ti3C2 is expected to become a light-absorbing layer material for solar vapor generation devices due to its excellent light-to-heat conversion performance and good material flexibility. It still guarantees a reasonably high steam generation rate (1.32 kg·m-2·h-1) even with a thinner material thickness (0.48 mg·cm-2) and a comprehensive conversion efficiency higher than 90%. Besides, CBS-Ti3C2 also exhibits the characteristics of resisting surface salt accumulation, which is conducive to maintaining the long-lasting photothermal seawater evaporation process. The material's electronic structure and the charge transfer process of the heterojunction interface have been studied with the first-principles calculation. The high light absorption performance and good thermal conductivity of the composite material are theoretically explained and supported.

Abstract
In this study, we report a facile one-pot chemical etching approach to simply and rapidly prepare gold nanoclusters capped with luminol (Lum-AuNCs) in an alkaline aqueous solution at room temperature. A series of characterization studies have been carried out to explore the morphology, the optical properties and chemical components of Lum-AuNCs. The average diameter of Lum-AuNCs is 1.8 ± 0.3 nm, exhibiting fluorescence near 510 nm upon excitation at 420 nm with a quantum yield of 14.29% and an average fluorescence lifetime of 9.47 ns. On the basis of the ligand-induced etching of glutathione (GSH) to the intermediate (luminol capped gold nanoparticles, abbreviated as Lum-AuNPs), a novel and simple method for the fluorescence determination of GSH has been established. The method displays a good linear response in the range of 0.05-300 μM toward GSH with a limit of detection of 35 nM. This detection strategy with high sensitivity and selectivity facilitates its practical application for the detection of GSH levels in cell extracts. The in vitro cell results illustrate that Lum-AuNCs have good cytocompatibility and can be used to readily differentiate normal cells and tumor cells.

Abstract
In recent years, some viruses have caused a grave crisis to global public health, especially the human coronavirus. A truly effective vaccine is therefore urgently needed. Vaccines should generally have two features: delivering antigens and modulating immunity. Adjuvants have an unshakable position in the battle against the virus. In addition to the perennial use of aluminium adjuvant, nanoparticles have become the developing adjuvant candidates due to their unique properties. Here we introduce several typical nanoparticles and their antivirus vaccine adjuvant applications. Finally, for the combating of the coronavirus, we propose several design points, hoping to provide ideas for the development of personalized vaccines and adjuvants and accelerate the clinical application of adjuvants.

Abstract
X-ray-based analytics are routinely applied in many fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering. The full potential of such techniques in the life sciences and medicine, however, has not yet been fully exploited. We highlight current and upcoming advances in this direction. We describe different X-ray-based methodologies (including those performed at synchrotron light sources and X-ray free-electron lasers) and their potentials for application to investigate the nano-bio interface. The discussion is predominantly guided by asking how such methods could better help to understand and to improve nanoparticle-based drug delivery, though the concepts also apply to nano-bio interactions in general. We discuss current limitations and how they might be overcome, particularly for future use in vivo.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been extensively used as an effective therapeutic approach against cancer. However, PTT can trigger the proinflammatory response of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages to release proinflammatory cytokines, which can simulate tumor regeneration and further hinder subsequent therapy. Hence, an effective therapeutic system, comprising gold nanoparticle modified Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals and aspirin (Au-CZTS/Asp), was developed to co-deliver PTT agents and inflammatory inhibitors for the synergistic treatment of cancer. Au-CZTS with high near infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion abilities can effectively induce apoptosis and tumor ablation under NIR light. Furthermore, Asp can inhibit the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway in DCs and the polarization of macrophages to intercept the PTT mediated inflammatory responses. Therefore, the as-prepared Au-CZTS/Asp can effectively realize the integration of tumor treatment and recovery. Simultaneously, the Au-CZTS/Asp with ultrasmall size can be rapidly cleared to reduce biotoxicity and side effects. In addition, the Au-CZTS/Asp showed excellent photoacoustic (PA) imaging properties around the tumor in vivo. Thus, our study provides a potential platform for a nano-prodrug that is viable for cancer diagnostic-treatment-recovery integration.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light-induced photothermal cancer therapy using nanomaterials as photothermal agents has attracted considerable research interest over the past few years. As the key factor in photothermal therapy systems, a variety of photothermal agents have been developed. However, the exploration of novel photothermal therapy nanoplatforms with high NIR absorption remains a significant challenge, especially those working in both NIR-I and NIR-II windows. In this work, Bi19S27I3 nanorods with remarkably high absorption covering the whole visible light to the entire NIR-I and NIR-II regions have been successfully prepared through a facile solvothermal approach. The as-synthesized Bi19S27I3 nanorods have a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 42.7% at 808 nm (NIR-I) and 41.5% at 1064 nm (NIR-II), making them a promising candidate for photothermal therapy. In vitro cell viability assay reveals that the Bi19S27I3 sample has good biocompatibility and exhibits significant cell-killing effect under NIR irradiation. In vivo anti-tumor experiments demonstrate that the tumor growth can be effectively inhibited by fatal hyperthermia ablation mediated by Bi19S27I3 nanorods under the irradiation of an 808 nm or 1064 nm laser. Therefore, this study should be primarily beneficial for the development of new materials for NIR photothermal therapy applications.

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
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death caused by excessive peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It can be activated by iron-based nanoparticles as a potential cancer therapeutic target. However, the intracellular transformation of iron-based nanoparticles is still ambiguous and the subsequent ferroptosis mechanism is also obscure. Here, we identified the time-course metabolism of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIO) in cells by using X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy. Also, the integrated quantitative transcriptome and proteome data obtained from the cells exposed to USPIO exhibited hallmark features of ferroptosis. With the chemical species of iron oxide transforming to ferritin, the intracellular GPX4 down-regulated, and lipid peroxide began to accumulate. These results provide evidence that the intracellular metabolism of USPIO induced ferroptosis in a time-dependent manner, and iron over-loaded in cytoplasm along with lipid peroxidation of the membrane are involved in the detailed mechanism of ferroptosis signaling activation.

Abstract
As a conceptually attractive strategy, the use of immune checkpoint blockade antibodies to treat cancer is limited due to the restrained tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), poor accumulation and penetration of antibodies, and deficient checkpoint blockade in malignancies. In this study, we describe a pH and mild photothermal sequentially triggered PD-L1 siRNA release nanosystem, based on monoelemental bismuthene, as a one-for-all strategy to realize enhanced tumor mild photothermal immunotherapy. Under manually controlled NIR irradiation, the bismuthene-based nanosystem simultaneously induces a tumor-enhanced pathological permeability and retention (EPPR) effect, increases TIL recruitment, and triggers programmed siRNA release, thereby amplifying anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy. In addition, the nanosystem's rapid removal through intestinal and renal clearance mitigates toxicity risk associated with long-term retention. In vivo antitumor experiments demonstrate that this bismuthene-based nanosystem is a promising and effective approach for "cold" tumor management.

Abstract
Anti-hypoxia cancer nanomedicine (AHCN) holds exciting potential in improving oxygen-dependent therapeutic efficiencies of malignant tumors. However, most studies regarding AHCN focus on optimizing structure and function of nanomaterials with presupposed successful entry into tumor cells. From such a traditional perspective, the main barrier that AHCN needs to overcome is mainly the tumor cell membrane. However, such an oversimplified perspective would neglect that real tumors have many biological, physiological, physical, and chemical defenses preventing the current state-of-the-art AHCNs from even reaching the targeted tumor cells. Fortunately, in recent years, some studies are beginning to intentionally focus on overcoming physiological barriers to alleviate hypoxia. In this Review, the limitations behind the traditional AHCN delivery mindset are addressed and the key barriers that need to be surmounted before delivery to cancer cells and some good ways to improve cell membrane attachment, internalization, and intracellular retention are summarized. It is aimed to contribute to Review literature on this emerging topic through refreshing perspectives based on this work and what is also learnt from others. This Review would therefore assist AHCNs researchers to have a quick overview of the essential information and glean thought-provoking ideas to advance this sub-field in cancer nanomedicine.

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
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Advanced nanomaterials have emerged as effective approaches to liver cancer therapy such as photothermal therapy. However, limited penetration depth of photothermal agents (PTAs) activated in the NIR-I bio-window and thermoresistance due to heat shock proteins restrict the therapeutic efficacy of PTT in HCC. Herein, we prepared a Bi@ZIF-8 (BZ) nanomaterial by a simple one-step reduction method. Then, gambogic acid, a natural inhibitor of Hsp90, was efficiently loaded onto the BZ nanomaterial via physical mixing. The characterization of the nanomaterial and release of GA due to pH change or NIR-light irradiation were separately studied. Photothermal conversion efficiency was calculated, and therapeutic studies were carried out in vitro and in vivo. This nanomaterial exhibited a significantly enhanced drug release rate when the temperature was increased under acidic conditions and had good light stability under laser irradiation and a photothermal conversion efficiency of about 24.4%. In addition, this novel nanomaterial achieved good therapeutic effects with less toxicity in vitro. The BZ nanomaterial loaded with GA caused tumor shrinkage as well as disappearance and effectively downregulated Hsp90 expression in tumors in vivo. Moreover, this novel nanomaterial exhibited good biocompatibility and potential for application in low-temperature PTT with excellent tumor destruction efficacy.

Abstract
Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases caused by chronic inflammatory atherosclerosis seriously damage human health. Nano-photothermal technology has been proven to inhibit the development of vascular inflammation, but the currently reported photothermal agents cannot efficient monitor it during the development of the disease. Herein, we designed and prepared an efficient bifunctional nanoplatform for CT imaging guided photothermal therapy of arterial inflammation. Cu3BiS3 nanocrystals with a size of about 12 nm were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared Cu3BiS3 nanocrystals showed intense absorption in the NIR region, thus exhibited amazing photothermal effect. The photothermal conversion efficiency of Cu3BiS3 nanocrystals was reach up to 58.6% under the excitation of an 808 nm laser with a power density of 0.4 W cm–2. Cu3BiS3 nanocrystals can efficiently kill the macrophages both in vitro and in vivo, which plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis, thus can be used as an effective way to inhibit the occurrence of hypertension. Importantly, Cu3BiS3 nanocrystals can be used as an efficient CT contrast agent to monitor carotid inflammation. Our work provides an insight for imaging guided photothermal therapy of arterial inflammation.

Abstract
The doped semiconductor nanocrystal with free holes in valence band exhibits strong near-infrared (NIR) local surface plasmon resonance effects, which is essential for photothermal agents. Herein, the hydrophilic Sb doped SnO2 nanocrystals were successfully prepared by a simple hydrothermal synthesis method. The doping makes the Sb doped SnO2 nanocrystals possessing defect structures. Compared with the un-doped SnO2 nanocrystals, Sb doped SnO2 nanocrystals exhibit stronger absorption in the NIR region from 500 to 1,100 nm and higher photothermal conversion efficiency (up to 73.6%) which makes the synthesized Sb doped SnO2 nanocrystals be used as excellent photothermal agents. Importantly, Sb doped SnO2 nanocrystals can efficiently kill cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo under the irradiation of a 980 nm laser with a power density of 0.6 W cm–2. In addition, Sb doped SnO2 nanocrystals can also be served as efficient CT imaging agents owing to the large X-ray attenuation coefficient of tin.

Abstract
Graphene-based tumor cell nuclear targeting fluorescent nanoprobes (GTTNs) were synthesized in our laboratory as a kind of nanomaterial and showed good performance for both in vivo and in vitro imaging. GTTNs directly cross the cell membrane and specifically target the tumor cell nucleus via a cell membrane permeability targeting (CMPT) mechanism, which takes advantage of the increased permeability of the tumor cell membranes. GTTNs with a CMPT mechanism achieve high targeting efficiency in tumor tissues. With the tumor cell nucleus-targeting characterization, the GTTN distinguishes tumor cells at the single-cell level and recognizes the tumor tissue interface in a very early stage and shows great potential in clinical applications. Toxicity studies are extremely critical for clinical applications. Therefore, we studied the acute and subacute toxicity of GTTNs using an in vivo method and examined the following experimental indicators: mouse body weight, organ coefficients, serum biochemical parameters, and histological changes. The results showed that there were no significant differences in any indicators between the experimental and control mice. We also used an in vitro method to study the cytotoxicity of GTTNs in GES-1 (gastric epithelial cell) cells. Surprisingly, the results demonstrated over 80% cell viability when the incubation time reached up to 72 h under a 200 mg/L concentration of GTTNs, which indicated that GTTNs had low cytotoxicity. GTTNs barely showed any acute or subacute toxicity or cytotoxicity in vivo and in vitro, respectively, which supports their use for clinical applications.

This work reports a novel Ca-alginate/Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)@polydopamine (Ca-alginate/PNIPAm@PDA) microsphere to control the agrochemicals release. Microsphere with a semi-interpenetrating network, which contained pH-sensitive Ca-alginate, temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm), and sunlight-sensitive polydopamine (PDA), was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy to prove the successful synthesis. Moreover, the comprehensive performances, including photothermal conversion, water absorbency, water retention, and controlled-release agrochemicals behaviors, were systematically investigated. The results indicated that the composite microsphere was a prosperous water and agrochemicals manager to effectively retain water and control the release of agrochemicals by external stimulation. Consequently, the Ca-alginate/PNIPAm@PDA microsphere with outstanding water-retention and controlled-release capacities is economical and eco-friendly and thus is promising for utilization as water and agrochemicals controlled-release carrier material in agriculture applications.
