Abstract
The repair of irregular bone tissue suffers severe clinical problems due to the scarcity of an appropriate therapeutic carrier that can match dynamic and complex bone damage. Fortunately, stimuli-responsive in situ hydrogel systems that are triggered by a special microenvironment could be an ideal method of regenerating bone tissue because of the injectability, in situ gelatin, and spatiotemporally tunable drug release. Herein, we introduce the two main stimulus-response approaches, exogenous and endogenous, to forming in situ hydrogels in bone tissue engineering. First, we summarize specific and distinct responses to an extensive range of external stimuli (e.g., ultraviolet, near-infrared, ultrasound, etc.) to form in situ hydrogels created from biocompatible materials modified by various functional groups or hybrid functional nanoparticles. Furthermore, "smart" hydrogels, which respond to endogenous physiological or environmental stimuli (e.g., temperature, pH, enzyme, etc.), can achieve in situ gelation by one injection in vivo without additional intervention. Moreover, the mild chemistry response-mediated in situ hydrogel systems also offer fascinating prospects in bone tissue engineering, such as a Diels-Alder, Michael addition, thiol-Michael addition, and Schiff reactions, etc. The recent developments and challenges of various smart in situ hydrogels and their application to drug administration and bone tissue engineering are discussed in this review. It is anticipated that advanced strategies and innovative ideas of in situ hydrogels will be exploited in the clinical field and increase the quality of life for patients with bone damage.

Abstract
The injectable hydrogels can deliver the loads directly to the predetermined sites and form reservoirs to increase the enrichment and retention of the loads in the target areas. The preparation and injection of injectable hydrogels involve the sol-gel transformation of hydrogels, which is affected by factors such as temperature, ions, enzymes, light, mechanics (self-healing property), and pH. However, tracing the injection, degradation, and drug release from hydrogels based on different ways of gelation is a major concern. To solve this problem, contrast agents are introduced into injectable hydrogels, enabling the hydrogels to be imaged under techniques such as fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and radionuclide imaging. This review details methods for causing the gelation of imageable hydrogels; discusses the application of injectable hydrogels containing contrast agents in various imaging techniques, and finally explores the potential and challenges of imageable hydrogels based on different modes of gelation.

Abstract
The size of drug carriers strongly affects their biodistribution, tissue penetration, and cellular uptake in vivo. As a result, when such carriers are loaded with therapeutic compounds, their size can influence the treatment outcomes. For internal α-radionuclide therapy, the carrier size is particularly important, because short-range α-emitters should be delivered to tumor volumes at a high dose rate without any side effects, i.e. off-target irradiation and toxicity. In this work, we aim to evaluate and compare the therapeutic efficiency of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) microparticles (MPs, >2 μm) and nanoparticles (NPs, <100 nm) labeled with radium-223 (223Ra) for internal α-radionuclide therapy against 4T1 breast cancer. To do this, we comprehensively study the internalization and penetration efficiency of these MPs and NPs, using 2D and 3D cell cultures. For further therapeutic tests, we develop and modify a chelator-free method for radiolabeling of CaCO3 MPs and NPs with 223Ra, improving their radiolabeling efficiency (>97%) and radiochemical stability (>97%). After intratumoral injection of 223Ra-labeled MPs and NPs, we demonstrate their different therapeutic efficiencies against a 4T1 tumor. In particular, 223Ra-labeled NPs show a tumor inhibition of approximately 85%, which is higher compared to 60% for 223Ra-labeled MPs. As a result, we can conclude that 223Ra-labeled NPs have a more suitable biodistribution within 4T1 tumors compared to 223Ra-labeled MPs. Thus, our study reveals that 223Ra-labeled CaCO3 NPs are highly promising for internal α-radionuclide therapy.

Abstract
Copper sulfide based phototherapy, including photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy, is an emerging minimally invasive treatment of tumor, which the light was converted to heat or reactive oxygen to kill the tumor cells. Compared with conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy, Cu2-x S based phototherapy is more efficient and has fewer side effects. However, considering the dose-dependent toxicity of Cu2-x S, the performance of Cu2-x S based phototherapy still cannot meet the requirement of the clinical application to now. To overcome this limitation, engineering of Cu2-x S to improve the phototherapy performance by increasing light absorption has attracted extensive attention. For better guidance of Cu2-x S engineering, we outline the currently engineering method being explored, including (1) structural engineering, (2) compositional engineering, (3) functional engineering, and (4) performance engineering. Also, the relationship between the engineering method and phototherapy performance was discussed in this review. In addition, the further development of Cu2-x S based phototherapy is prospected, including smart materials based phototherapy, phototherapy induced immune microenvironment modulation et al. This review will provide new ideas and opportunities for engineering of Cu2-x S with better phototherapy performance. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) has been a classical therapeutic method of cancer for several decades. It attracts tremendous attention for the precise and efficient treatment of local tumors with stimuli-responsive nanomaterials, which enhance RT. However, there are few systematic reviews summarizing the newly emerging stimuli-responsive mechanisms and strategies used for tumor radio-sensitization. Hence, this review provides a comprehensive overview of recently reported studies on stimuli-responsive nanomaterials for radio-sensitization. It includes four different approaches for sensitized RT, namely endogenous response, exogenous response, dual stimuli-response, and multi stimuli-response. Endogenous response involves various stimuli such as pH, hypoxia, GSH, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and enzymes. On the other hand, exogenous response encompasses X-ray, light, and ultrasound. Dual stimuli-response combines pH/enzyme, pH/ultrasound, and ROS/light. Lastly, multi stimuli-response involves the combination of pH/ROS/GSH and X-ray/ROS/GSH. By elaborating on these responsive mechanisms and applying them to clinical RT diagnosis and treatment, these methods can enhance radiosensitive efficiency and minimize damage to surrounding normal tissues. Finally, this review discusses the additional challenges and perspectives related to stimuli-responsive nanomaterials for tumor radio-sensitization.

Abstract
Dental diseases associated with biofilm infections and tooth staining affect billions of people worldwide. In this study, we combine photothermal agents (MoS2@BSA nanosheets, MB NSs), a thermolysis free-radical initiator (AIPH), and carbomer gel to develop laser-responsive hydrogel (MBA-CB Gel) for biofilm inactivating and tooth whitening. Under a physiological temperature without laser irradiation, MB NSs can eliminate free radicals generated from the slow decomposition of AIPH due to their antioxidative activity, thereby avoiding potential side effects. A cytotoxicity study indicates that MB NSs can protect mammalian cells from the free radicals released from AIPH without laser irradiation. Upon exposure to laser irradiation, MB NSs promote the rapid decomposition of AIPH to release free radicals by photothermal effect, suggesting their on-demand release ability of free radicals. In vitro experimental results show that the bacteria inactivation efficiency is 99.91% (3.01 log units) for planktonic Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and 99.98% (3.83 log units) for planktonic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by the mixed solution of MB NSs and AIPH (MBA solution) under 808 nm laser irradiation (1.0 W/cm2, 5 min). For S. mutans biofilms, an MBA solution can inactivate 99.97% (3.63 log units) of the bacteria under similar laser irradiation conditions. Moreover, MBA-CB Gel can whiten an indigo carmine-stained tooth under laser irradiation after 60 min of laser treatment, and the color difference (ΔE) in the teeth of the MBA-CB Gel treatment group was 10.9 times that of the control group. This study demonstrates the potential of MBA-CB Gel as a promising platform for biofilm inactivation and tooth whitening. It is worth noting that, since this study only used stained models of extracted teeth, the research results may not fully reflect the actual clinic situation. Future clinical research needs to further validate these findings.

Abstract
Engineering versatile phototheranostics for multimodal diagnostic imaging and effective therapy has great potential in cancer treatment. However, developing an inherently versatile molecule is a huge challenge. In this work, a near-infrared organic dye (NRh) was synthesized and further bound with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to construct facile "one-for-all" phototheranostics (NRh-BSA NPs), which exhibited enhanced frequency upconversion luminescence (FUCL, λex/em = 850/825 nm) and excellent photoacoustic (PA) and photothermal properties (λ'ex = 808 nm). Additionally, the BSA-modified phototheranostics NRh-BSA NPs showed specific accumulation in the tumor region through passive targeting. Based on the FUCL/PA dual modal imaging-guidance, the NRh-BSA NPs not only can guarantee the accuracy of imaging of the U87MG tumor sites, but also can improve the therapeutic effect on ablating tumors without recurrence by photothermal therapy (PTT). Collectively, our work proposed a novel strategy to construct versatile phototheranostics with the unique FUCL/PA imaging-guided technique for accurate cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Hydrogels, as one of the most feasible soft biomaterials, have gained considerable attention in therapeutic applications by virtue of their tunable properties including superior patient compliance, good biocompatibility and biodegradation, and high cargo-loading efficiency. However, hydrogel application is still limited by some challenges like inefficient encapsulation, easy leakage of loaded cargoes, and the lack of controllability. Recently, nanoarchitecture-integrated hydrogel systems were found to be therapeutics with optimized properties, extending their bioapplication. In this review, we briefly presented the category of hydrogels according to their synthetic materials and further discussed the advantages in bioapplication. Additionally, various applications of nanoarchitecture hybrid hydrogels in biomedical engineering are systematically summarized, including cancer therapy, wound healing, cardiac repair, bone regeneration, diabetes therapy, and obesity therapy. Last, the current challenges, limitations, and future perspectives in the future development of nanoarchitecture-integrated flexible hydrogels are addressed.

Abstract
There are tricky challenges in tumor therapy due to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, inevitably inhibiting the treatment efficacy of the traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiation therapy (RT), and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Herein, to overcome tumor hypoxia limitation, we constructed a near-infrared II (NIR-II) light-triggered thermodynamic therapy (TDT) nanoplatform of Au@mSiO2-AIPH@PCM/PEG (ASAPP) by integrating the Au nanorods (Au NRs) and thermally activated alkyl free radical-releasing molecules (AIPH). Au NRs@mSiO2 was used as a photothermally responsive material and AIPH carrier, and the hot-melt phase-change material (PCM) was used as a capping agent to prevent leakage of AIPH during blood circulation. Upon NIR-II light irradiation, heat-triggered free radical release from AIPH was successfully achieved for killing cancer cells in vitro and in vivo without oxygen dependence, leading to synergistically enhanced antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Biopolymer-based optical waveguides with low-loss light guiding performance and good biocompatibility are highly desired for applications in biomedical photonic devices. Herein, we report the preparation of silk optical fiber waveguides through bioinspired in situ mineralizing spinning, which possess excellent mechanical properties and low light loss. Natural silk fibroin was used as the main precursor for the wet spinning of the regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) fibers. Calcium carbonate nanocrystals (CaCO3 NCs) were in situ grown in the RSF network and served as nucleation templates for mineralization during the spinning, leading to the formation of strong and tough fibers. CaCO3 NCs can guide the structure transformation of silk fibroin from random coils to β-sheets, contributing to enhanced mechanical properties. The tensile strength and toughness of the obtained fibers are up to 0.83 ± 0.15 GPa and 181.98 ± 52.42 MJ·m-3, obviously higher than those of natural silkworm silks and even comparable to spider silks. We further investigated the performance of the fibers as optical waveguides and observed a low light loss of 0.46 dB·cm-1, which is much lower than natural silk fibers. We believed that these silk-based fibers with excellent mechanical and light propagation properties are promising for applications in biomedical light imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Cancer thermal therapy, also known as hyperthermia therapy, has long been exploited to eradicate mass lesions that are now defined as cancer. With the development of corresponding technologies and equipment, local hyperthermia therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and high-intensity focused ultrasound, have has been validated to effectively ablate tumors in modern clinical practice. However, they still face many shortcomings, including nonspecific damages to adjacent normal tissues and incomplete ablation particularly for large tumors, restricting their wide clinical usage. Attributed to their versatile physiochemical properties, biomaterials have been specially designed to potentiate local hyperthermia treatments according to their unique working principles. Meanwhile, biomaterial-based delivery systems are able to bridge hyperthermia therapies with other types of treatment strategies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, in this review, we discuss recent progress in the development of functional biomaterials to reinforce local hyperthermia by functioning as thermal sensitizers to endow more efficient tumor-localized thermal ablation and/or as delivery vehicles to synergize with other therapeutic modalities for combined cancer treatments. Thereafter, we provide a critical perspective on the further development of biomaterial-assisted local hyperthermia toward clinical applications.

Abstract
Radionuclide therapy (RNT) is an effective method for the clinical precise treatment of cancer. However, the uneven dose distribution and rapid metabolism of nuclides limit the effective killing of tumors. To overcome the limitations of radionuclide therapeutic approaches, combining different therapeutic strategies to treat cancer has manifested great promise in basic and clinical research. Here, a new combination therapy strategy was developed to combine radionuclide therapy, sonodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy (RNT-SDT-PTT) under radionuclide imaging guided achieve highly effective combination therapy. We prepared a polydopamine-modified Au nanostar (AN), then loaded with the acoustic sensitizer protoporphyrin (IX) and labeled with diagnostic (99mTc) or therapeutic (131I) radionuclides (131I/99mTc-AN@D/IX) for the precise diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. After intratumor administration, single photon emission computed tomography imaging showed that the nanocarriers were mostly retained in the tumor compared to free radionuclide. As well as using near-infrared light to trigger PTT and ultrasound with high penetration depth to activate IX to generate reactive oxygen species achieved SDT of tumor. The ultimate significantly improved the inhibitory effects by the RNT-SDT-PTT combined therapy for pancreatic cancer. Therefore, this study proposes an effective radionuclide combination therapy regimen consisting of three widely used treatments, offering promising prospects for the future of oncology.

Abstract
Surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy remained the most common therapeutic modalities for malignant tumors. However, tumor recurrence after receiving such combination is difficult to be avoided because of high invasiveness and radiation resistance of cancer cells during long-term therapy. Hydrogels, as novel local drug delivery systems, presented excellent biocompatibility, high drug loading capacity and sustained drug release property. Compared with conventional drug formulations, hydrogels are able to be administered intraoperatively and directly release the entrapped therapeutic agents to the unresectable tumor sites. Therefore, hydrogel-based local drug delivery systems have their unique advantages especially in sensitizing postoperative radiotherapy. In this context, classification and biological properties of hydrogels were firstly introduced. Then, recent progress and application of hydrogels for postoperative radiotherapy were summarized. Finally, the prospects and challenges of hydrogels in postoperative radiotherapy were discussed.

Abstract
It is an exigent need for the development of hydrogel dressings with desirable injectability, good adhesive, antibacterial, and wound healing promotion properties. Herein, the multifunctional injectable hydrogels with good tissue adhesion are designed based on Ag-doped Mo2C-derived polyoxometalate (AgPOM) nanoparticles, urea, gelatin, and tea polyphenols (TPs) for antibacterial and wound healing acceleration. After being injected into the tissue, urea diffuses out under the concentration gradient, and TPs and gelatin chains recombine to trigger the in situ formation of hydrogel with excellent adhesiveness. AgPOM fixed in the hydrogel could not only react with hydrogen peroxide in the infection site to generate singlet oxygen to kill the bacteria but also convert near-infrared light into heat under 1060 nm laser irradiation to realize sterilization. In vitro studies display the high bactericidal ability of the hydrogel against drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and also exhibit a prominent therapeutic effect on infected wounds through synergistic photothermal/chemodynamic therapy and accelerate wound healing. Hence, the injectable hydrogel with AgPOM as the antimicrobial agent can be a novel therapeutic agent for drug-resistant bacteria-infected wounds and wound healing promotion.

Abstract
Brachytherapy is one mainstay treatment for lung cancer. However, a great challenge in brachytherapy is radio-resistance, which is caused by severe hypoxia in solid tumors. In this research, we have developed a PEGylated 131I-labeled CuS nanotheranostics (CuS-131I-PEG)-induced "multiple mild-hyperthermia" strategy to reverse hypoxia-associated radio-resistance. Specifically, after being injected with CuS-131I-PEG nanotheranostics, tumors were irradiated by NIR laser to mildly increase tumor temperature (39~40 °C). This mild hyperthermia can improve oxygen levels and reduce expression of hypoxia-induced factor-1α (HIF-1α) inside tumors, which brings about alleviation of tumor hypoxia and reversion of hypoxia-induced radio-resistance. During the entire treatment, tumors are treated by photothermal brachytherapy three times, and meanwhile mild hyperthermia stimulation is conducted before each treatment of photothermal brachytherapy, which is defined as a "multiple mild-hyperthermia" strategy. Based on this strategy, tumors have been completely inhibited. Overall, our research presents a simple and effective "multiple mild-hyperthermia" strategy for reversing radio-resistance of lung cancer, achieving the combined photothermal brachytherapy.

Abstract
The high locoregional recurrence rate and potential wound infection in breast cancer after surgery pose enormous risks to patient survival. In this study, a polyethylene glycol acrylate (PEGDA)-alginate double-network nanocomposite hydrogel (GPA) embedded with 125 I-labeled RGDY peptide-modified gold nanorods (125 I-GNR-RGDY) is fabricated. The double-network hydrogel is formed by injection of GPA precursor solutions into the cavity of resected cancerous breasts of mice where gelation occurred rapidly. The enhanced temperature-induced PEGDA polymerization driven by near-infrared light irradiation, and then, the second polymer network is crosslinked between alginate and endogenous Ca2+ around the tumor. The double-network hydrogel possesses a dense polymer network and tightly fixes 125 I-GNR-RGDY, which exhibit superior persistent photothermal and radioactive effects. Hyperthermia induced by photothermal therapy can inhibit self-repair of damaged DNA and promote blood circulation to improve the hypoxic microenvironment, which can synergistically enhance the therapeutic efficacy of brachytherapy and simultaneously eliminate pathogenic bacteria. Notably, this nanocomposite hydrogel facilitates antibacterial activity to prevent potential wound infection and is tracked by single-photon emission computerized tomography imaging owing to isotope labeling of loaded 125 I-GNR-RGDY. The combination of photothermal therapy and brachytherapy has enabled the possibility of proposing a novel postoperative adjuvant strategy for preventing tumor recurrence and wound infection.

Abstract
Copper-based nanomaterials (Cu-based NMs) with favorable biocompatibility and unique properties have attracted the attention of many biomedical researchers. Cu-based NMs are one of the most widely studied materials in cancer treatment. In recent years, great progress has been made in the field of biomedicine, especially in the treatment and diagnosis of tumors. This review begins with the classification of Cu-based NMs and the recent synthetic strategies of Cu-based NMs. Then, according to the abundant and special properties of Cu-based NMs, their application in biomedicine is summarized in detail. For biomedical imaging, such as photoacoustic imaging, positron emission tomography imaging, and multimodal imaging based on Cu-based NMs are summarized, as well as strategies to improve the diagnostic effectiveness. Moreover, a series of unique structures and functions as well as the underlying property activity relationship of Cu-based NMs were shown to highlight their promising therapeutic performance. Cu-based NMs have been widely used in monotherapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, the sophisticated design in composition, structure, and surface fabrication of Cu-based NMs can endow these NMs with more modalities in cancer diagnosis and therapy. To further improve the efficiency of cancer treatment, combined therapy based on Cu-based NMs was introduced in detail. Finally, the challenges, critical factors, and future prospects for the clinical translation of Cu-based NMs as multifunctional theranostic agents were also considered and discussed. The aim of this review is to provide a better understanding and key consideration for the rational design of this increasingly important new paradigm of Cu-based NMs as theranostic agents.

Low-temperature photothermal irradiation triggers alkyl radicals burst for potentiating cancer immunotherapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 614:436-450.

Abstract
Although low-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) can sensitize tumors to immune checkpoint inhibition, its efficacy is still restricted in the deep and internal tumors without enough oxygen and lymphocytic infiltration. Non-oxygen-dependent alkyl radicals have been demonstrated to synergistically enhance PTT through up-regulating lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, an innovative strategy based on alkyl radicals to augment immunogenetic cell death (ICD) caused by mild PTT was proposed to improve poor efficacy of immunotherapy, which composed of a photothermal material of Chinse ink, an azo-initiator of 2,2-azobis[2-(2-imidazoline-2-acyl)propane]dihydrochloride (AIPH) and a PD-L1 inhibitor of HY19991 (HY). Upon near-infrared-II laser irradiation, low-temperature (<45℃) stimulation induced a high expression of immune checkpoint receptor (PD-L1) in tumors and triggered a large amount alkyl radicals generated by AIPH. Significantly, the alkyl radicals augmented the ICD and increased the recruitment of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes against tumors after transformation of the immunologically cold tumor microenvironment into hot by mild PTT. The released HY further enhanced the immunotherapy effect by blocking the binding of activated T lymphocytes and PD-L1. In vivo studies exhibited that the all-in-one hydrogel with synergistic mechanisms had an extraordinary ability to reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment, stimulate innate and adaptive immune responses to eliminate tumors and prevent metastasis.

Abstract
Combined photothermal/photodynamic therapy is a promising strategy to achieve an enhanced anticancer effect. However, hypoxia is one of the representative characteristics of the microenvironment of solid tumors, which not only attenuates the therapeutic effects but also promotes tumor invasion and metastasis. Herein, a PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 nanoplatform for the generation of sustained O2 was constructed for more effective tumor therapy. In detail, the catalase (CAT)-like nanozyme, PtBi, which could decompose H2O2 to produce O2, was modified with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). O2 would be converted into 1O2 by PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) under 650 nm laser irradiation. In addition, by reason of excellent absorption in the near-infrared-II (NIR-II) region, PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 was used for photoacoustic imaging (PA) and photothermal imaging (PT)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) in the NIR-II biowindow. Furthermore, PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 could be elected to serve as a contrast agent for X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging due to the apparent X-ray attenuation capability of the Pt and Bi elements themselves. Therefore, by integrating the advantages of overcoming the hypoxia function and photothermal effect into a single nanoplatform, PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 showed an immense possibility in multimodal imaging-guided combined PDT/PTT.

Considerable progress has been made in synthesizing "intelligent", biodegradable hydrogels that undergo rapid changes in physicochemical properties once exposed to external stimuli. These advantageous properties of stimulus-triggered materials make them highly appealing to diverse biomedical applications. Of late, research on the incorporation of light-triggered nanoparticles (NPs) into polymeric hydrogel networks has gained momentum due to their ability to remotely tune hydrogel properties using facile, contact-free approaches, such as adjustment of wavelength and intensity of light source. These multi-functional NPs, in combination with tissue-mimicking hydrogels, are increasingly being used for on-demand drug release, preparing diagnostic kits, and fabricating smart scaffolds. Here, the authors discuss the atomic behavior of different NPs in the presence of light, and critically review the mechanisms by which NPs convert light stimuli into heat energy. Then, they explain how these NPs impact the mechanical properties and rheological behavior of NPs-impregnated hydrogels. Understanding the rheological behavior of nanocomposite hydrogels using different sophisticated strategies, including computer-assisted machine learning, is critical for designing the next generation of drug delivery systems. Next, they highlight the salient strategies that have been used to apply light-induced nanocomposites for diverse biomedical applications and provide an outlook for the further improvement of these NPs-driven light-responsive hydrogels.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the most common and effective clinical therapies for malignant tumors. However, there are several limitations that undermine the clinical efficacy of cancer RT, including the low X-ray attenuation coefficient of organs, serious damage to normal tissues, and radioresistance in hypoxic tumors. With the rapid development of nanotechnology and nanomedicine, high-Z nanoradiosensitizers provide novel opportunities to overcome radioresistance and improve the efficacy of RT by deposition of radiation energy through photoelectric effects. To date, several types of nanoradiosensitizers have entered clinical trials. Nevertheless, the limitation of the single treatment mode and the unclear mechanism of nanoparticle radiosensitization have hindered the further development of nanoradiosensitizers. In this review, we systematically describe the interaction mechanisms between X-rays and nanomaterials and summarize recent advances in multifunctional high-Z nanomaterials for radiotherapeutic-based multimodal synergistic cancer therapy. Finally, the challenges and prospects are discussed to stimulate the development of nanomedicine-based cancer RT.

Abstract
Utilizing photothermal hydrogels as a wound dressing is a promising strategy to accelerate wound healing. Usually, a photothermal hydrogel has a strong light-absorbing capability, and hence its transparency can be largely sacrificed, which is unbeneficial for the visual monitoring of wound states. It remains challenging to balance the trade-off between the photothermal conversion and wound visualization for the photothermal hydrogel dressing. Herein, a composite photothermal hydrogel film with high transparency is presented for the visual monitor of the wound, which is constructed by incorporating CsxWO3 nanorods into the networks of polyacrylamide hydrogels. The composite photothermal hydrogel film exhibits high light absorption in the near-infrared region and high transmittance in the visible light region. Under 980 nm laser irradiation, the composite hydrogel can be heated up to 45 °C. In vivo animal experiment on mouse skin wound model shows that the composite hydrogel film can locally heat the skin wound to accelerate healing while maintaining more than 70% transparency to realize real-time observation of the wound. This study provides the first attempt to solve the problem of opacity in photothermal hydrogel dressings, promoting the possibility of its clinical applications.

Abstract
Recently, nanomaterials have been well-studied in cancer therapy, but some of them often experience difficulties with degradation in vivo, which could cause severe damage to the human body. Among numerous biodegradable nanomaterials, antimonene nanosheets (AMNSs) are versatile, and possess photothermal and photodynamic properties and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and drug loading ability. Herein, we employed a clearable multifunctional system. The small molecule photosensitizer IR820 and the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) at small sizes of approximately 5 nm were loaded onto AMNSs coated with biodegradable chitosan (CS). This nanoplatform showed excellent photothermal and photodynamic properties, satisfactory degradability and photoacoustic imaging ability, good biocompatibility and effective NIR light triggered intracellular synergistic treatment. It also displayed good fluorescence imaging ability in the experiment of cell uptake. These suggested that this versatile nanoplatform was able to significantly enhance the therapeutic efficiency based on synergistic phototherapy, and could also be applied in fluorescence and photoacoustic dual imaging for integrating diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
We report a one-pot facile synthesis of highly photoresponsive bovine serum albumin (BSA) templated bismuth-copper sulfide nanocomposites (BSA-BiZ/CuxS NCs, where BiZ represents in situ formed Bi2S3 and bismuth oxysulfides (BOS)). As-formed surface vacancies and BiZ/CuxS heterojunctions impart superior catalytic, photodynamic and photothermal properties. Upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the BSA-BiZ/CuxS NCs exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, not only against standard multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains but also against clinically isolated MDR bacteria and their associated biofilms. The minimum inhibitory concentration of BSA-BiZ/CuxS NCs is 14-fold lower than that of BSA-CuxS NCs because their multiple heterojunctions and vacancies facilitated an amplified phototherapeutic response. As-prepared BSA-BiZ/CuxS NCs exhibited substantial biofilm inhibition (90%) and eradication (>75%) efficiency under NIR irradiation. Furthermore, MRSA-infected diabetic mice were immensely treated with BSA-BiZ/CuxS NCs coupled with NIR irradiation by destroying the mature biofilm on the wound site, which accelerated the wound healing process via collagen synthesis and epithelialization. We demonstrate that BSA-BiZ/CuxS NCs with superior antimicrobial activity and high biocompatibility hold great potential as an effective photosensitive agent for the treatment of biofilm-associated infections.

Abstract
Photoactivated therapeutic strategies (photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy), due to the adjusted therapeutic area, time and light dosage, have prevailed for the fight against tumors. Currently, the monotherapy with limited treatment effect and undesired side effects is gradually replaced by multimodal and multifunctional nanosystems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with unique physicochemical advantages, such as huge specific surface area, controllable pore size and morphology, functionalized modification, satisfying biocompatibility and biodegradability, are considered as promising candidates for multimodal photoactivated cancer therapy. Excitingly, the innovative nanoplatforms based on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles provide more and more effective treatment strategies and display excellent antitumor potential. Given the rapid development of antitumor strategies based on MSNs, this review summarizes the current progress in MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy, mainly consists of (1) photothermal therapy-related theranostics; (2) photodynamic therapy-related theranostics; (3) multimodal synergistic therapy, such as chemo-photothermal-photodynamic therapy, phototherapy-immunotherapy and phototherapy-radio therapy. Based on the limited penetration of irradiation light in photoactivated therapy, the challenges faced by deep-seated tumor therapy are fully discussed, and future clinical translation of MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Brachytherapy, as an effective setting for precise cancer therapy in clinic, can lead to serious DNA damage. However, its therapeutic efficacy is always limited by the DNA self-repair property, tumor hypoxia-associated radiation resistance as well as inhomogeneous distribution of the radioactive material. Herein, a multifunctional hybrid hydrogel (131 I-hydrogel/DOX/GNPs aggregates) is developed by loading gold nanoparticle aggregates (GNPs aggregates) and DOX into a radionuclide iodine-131 (131 I) labelled polymeric hydrogels (131 I-PEG-P(Tyr)8 ) for tumor destruction by completely damaging DNA self-repair functions. This hybrid hydrogel exhibits excellent photothermal/radiolabel stability, biocompatibility, and fluorescence/photothermal /SPECT imaging properties. After local injection, the sustained releasing DOX within tumor greatly inhibits the DNA replication. Meanwhile, GNPs aggregates as a radiosensitizer and photosensitizer show a significant improvement of brachytherapeutic efficacy and cause serious DNA damage. Simultaneously, GNPs aggregates induce mild photothermal therapy under 808 nm laser irradiation, which not only inhibits self-repair of the damaged DNA but also effectively relieves tumor hypoxic condition to enhance the therapeutic effects of brachytherapy, leading to a triple-synergistic destruction of DNA functions. Therefore, this study provides a highly efficient tumor synergistic therapy platform and insight into the synergistic antitumor mechanism in DNA level.

Abstract
Nanobottles refer to colloidal particles featuring a hollow body connected to a single opening on the surface. This unique feature makes them ideal carriers for the encapsulation and controlled release of various types of cargos. Here a facile route to the fabrication of uniform nanobottles made of polydopamine by leveraging swelling-induced pressure is reported. When polystyrene spheres are coated with polydopamine and then incubated with a toluene/water emulsion, the polystyrene will be swollen to automatically poke a single hole in the shell because of the pressure inside the shell. After quenching the swelling with ethanol and then removing all the polystyrene with tetrahydrofuran, polydopamine nanobottles are obtained. The dimensions of the hollow body are determined by the polystyrene template, while the size of the opening can be tuned by varying the shell thickness. Through the opening, different types of cargos, including small molecules and biomacromolecules, can be easily loaded with a thermoresponsive material into the cavity. The cargos can be released in a controllable manner through direct heating or polydopamine-enabled photothermal heating. In a proof-of-concept experiment, the polydopamine nanobottles are used for temperature-controlled release of thrombin to trigger the formation of fibrin gels in situ.

Abstract
The efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is largely dependent upon oxygen availability to generate deleterious reactive oxygen species, and as such, hypoxic microenvironments greatly constrain the efficacy of SDT. Development of free radical generators that are not dependent on oxygen and related combination treatment strategies thus have the potential to enhance the antitumor potential of SDT. Combined treatment strategies are expected to improve the efficacy of sonodynamic antitumor therapy. As metal-organic framework (MOF) platforms are highly amenable to integration with other therapeutic approaches, we herein report the development of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanoparticles constructed by embedding the azo initiator 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride (AIPH) into hypoxia-triggered copper metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) nanovectors to achieve synergistic sono-chemodynamic therapy in an orthotopic murine pancreatic carcinoma model system. When exposed to hypoxic conditions within the TME, this Cu-MOF structure underwent degradation, leading to the release of Cu2+ and AIPH. Cu2+ was then able to deplete local glutathione stores, resulting in the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+, which then reacts with endogenous H2O2 in a Fenton-like reaction to yield cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for chemodynamic therapy. When exposed to ultrasound irradiation, AIPH further degraded in an oxygen-independent manner to yield nitrogen bubbles and alkyl radicals, the former of which enhanced the ability of these nanoparticles to penetrate deeply into the tumor. The resultant radicals induced substantial DNA damage and apoptotic cell death within target tumors under different levels of oxygen availability. As such, this hypoxic TME-responsive synergistic sono-chemodynamic approach offers an ideal means of achieving oxygen-independent free radical generation and enhanced treatment efficacy.

ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:19445-19457. [PMID: 34368532 PMCID: PMC8340104 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c01500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) combined with chemotherapy remains a dominant therapeutic manner in clinical tumor treatment, which is irreplaceable in a short term. To seek an intrinsic connection of combined chemoradiation therapy and maximize the antitumor efficacy, we developed a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive nanomicelle drug delivery system based on a self-assembled amphiphilic polymer, hyaluronic acid-graft-poly-(propylene sulfide) (HA-PPS). A chemical radiosensitizer, doxorubicin (DOX), was encapsulated into the core of HA-PPS nanomicelles, constituting the DOX-loaded nanomicelles (HA-PPS@DOX NMs) with a spherical structure of around 205.10 ± 11.33 nm diameter with a narrow polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.135 ± 0.01. When combined with RT, the ROS-sensitive HA-PPS@DOX NMs disintegrated and released great drug cargos, which further enhanced cytotoxicity. Meanwhile, as a radiosensitizer, the released DOX sensitized cancer cells to radiotherapy, which has been confirmed by an enhanced sensitizer enhancement ratio (SER) value of 1.78 contributing to the increased cytotoxicity of concurrent chemoradiation tumor therapy, as evidenced by the improvement of half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 value) of DOX from 2.316 to 0.8235 μg/mL. Moreover, in vivo studies revealed that HA-PPS@DOX NMs exhibited prolonged circulation time and improved tumor accumulation. Particularly, the released DOX triggered by radiation strengthened radiotherapy sensitization in return. Consequently, these superiorities of HA-PPS@DOX NMs shown by the concurrent chemoradiation tumor therapy resulted in an ideal tumor inhibition rate of 70.4%, thus providing a promising ROS-sensitive nanomedicine for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Local minimally invasive injection of anticancer therapies is a compelling approach to maximize the utilization of drugs and reduce the systemic adverse drug effects. However, the clinical translation is still hampered by many challenges such as short residence time of therapeutic agents and the difficulty in achieving multi-modulation combination therapy. Herein, mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods (AuNR@SiO2 ) core-shell nanoparticles are fabricated to facilitate drug loading while rendering them photothermally responsive. Subsequently, AuNR@SiO2 is anchored into a monodisperse photocrosslinkable gelatin (GelMA) microgel through one-step microfluidic technology. Chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) is loaded into AuNR@SiO2 and 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) is loaded in the microgel layer. The osteosarcoma targeting ligand alendronate is conjugated to AuNR@SiO2 to improve the tumor targeting. The microgel greatly improves the injectability since they can be dispersed in buffer and the injectability and degradability are adjustable by microfluidics during the fabrication. The drug release can, in turn, be modulated by multi-round light-trigger. Importantly, a single super low drug dose (1 mg kg-1 DOX with 5 mg kg-1 DMXAA) with peritumoral injection generates long-term therapeutic effect and significantly inhibited tumor growth in osteosarcoma bearing mice. Therefore, this nanocomposite@microgel system can act as a peritumoral reservoir for long-term effective osteosarcoma treatment.

Abstract
Light-responsive biomaterials are an emerging class of materials used for developing noninvasive, noncontact, precise, and controllable biomedical devices. Long-wavelength near-infrared (NIR) radiation is an attractive light source for in situ gelation due to its higher penetration depth and minimum side effects. The conventional approach to obtain crosslinked biomaterials relies heavily on the use of a photoinitiator by generating reactive species when exposed to short-wavelength radiation, which is detrimental to surrounding cells and tissue. Here, a new class of NIR-triggered in situ gelation system based on defect-rich 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) nanoassemblies and thiol-functionalized thermoresponsive polymer in the absence of a photoinitiator is introduced. Exposure to NIR radiation activates the dynamic polymer-nanomaterials interactions by leveraging the photothermal characteristics of MoS2 and intrinsic phase transition ability of the thermoresponsive polymer. Specifically, upon NIR exposure, MoS2 acts as a crosslink epicenter by connecting with multiple polymeric chains via defect-driven click chemistry. As a proof-of-concept, the utility of NIR-triggered in situ gelation is demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the crosslinked gel exhibits the potential for NIR light-responsive release of encapsulated therapeutics. These light-responsive biomaterials have strong potential for a range of biomedical applications, including artificial muscle, smart actuators, 3D/4D printing, regenerative medicine, and therapeutic delivery.

Abstract
Certain chemotherapeutics and forms of ionizing radiation can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD). If there simultaneously exist immune adjuvants within the tumor, such antitumor immunity would be further amplified. However, as clinical chemo/radiotherapies are usually repeatedly given at low individual doses, it would be impractical to administrate immune adjuvants into tumors at each dose of chemo/radiotherapies. Thus, a smart hydrogel is developed that releases immune adjuvants in response to repeatedly applied chemo-/radiotherapies. Herein, alginate is conjugated with an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-specific aptamer, which is hybridized with immunoadjuvant CpG oligonucleotide. Upon intratumoral injection, alginate-based hydrogel is formed in situ. Interestingly, low doses of oxaliplatin or X-rays, while inducing ICD of tumor cells, could trigger release of ATP, which competitively binds with ATP-specific aptamer to trigger CpG release. Therefore, the smart hydrogel could release the immune adjuvant synchronized with low-dose repeated chemo/radiotherapies, achieving remarkable synergistic responses in eliminating established tumors, as well as immune memory to reject re-challenged tumors. Moreover, repeated radiotherapies assisted by the smart hydrogel could inhibit distant tumor metastases, especially in combination with immune checkpoint blockade. The study presents a conceptually new strategy to boost cancer immunotherapy coherent with repeated low-dose chemo-/radiotherapies following a clinically relevant manner.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogel possesses great application potential in disease treatment and tissue engineering, but damage to gel often occurs due to the squeezing pressure from injection devices and the mechanical forces from limb movement, and leads to the rapid degradation of gel matrix and the leakage of the load material. The self-healing injectable hydrogels can overcome these drawbacks via automatically repairing gel structural defects and restoring gel function. The polysaccharide hydrogels constructed through the Schiff base reaction own advantages including simple fabrication, injectability, and self-healing under physiological conditions, and therefore have drawn extensive attention and investigation recently. In this short review, the preparation and self-healing properties of the polysaccharide hydrogels that is established on the Schiff base reaction are focused on and their biological applications in drug delivery and cell therapy are discussed.

Abstract
Brachytherapy has been clinically used for the treatment of malignant solid tumors. However, the classic therapeutic radioactive 125I seed must be surgically implanted directly into tumors. To avoid the surgery and prevent irrational radioactive distribution, radioiodine-loaded nanomaterials are ever-developing for brachytherapy. Hence, it is still a notable challenge to obtain an advanced material that simultaneously incorporates features of high radiolabeling rate, short labeling time, good radiolabeling stability, and long tumor retention time. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are crystalline polymers with ordered pores, are widely applied in guest delivery of drugs based on their high porosity and modifiable skeleton. Herein, we developed a functionalized nanoscale PEG-COF-Ag material, which could rapidly capture radioiodine reaching a 94% radiolabeling yield in 30 s. In addition, more than 95% 125I was maintained after 24 h in PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) as well as in serum and over 90% for nearly 1 week. PEG-COF-Ag-125I (125I-COF) demonstrated excellent cancer cell killing performance in vitro, and further experiments in vivo revealed a long tumor retention time and effective tumor treatment during the radiotherapy. The results indicate that radioiodine-labeled PEG-COF-Ag could be potentially applied in brachytherapy with a promising therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Enzymes, a class of highly efficient and specific catalysts in Nature, dictate a myriad of reactions that constitute various cascades in biological systems. There is growing evidence that many cellular reactions within metabolic pathways are catalyzed by matrix-associated multienzyme complexes, not via the free enzymes, verifying the vital effects of microenvironmental organization, which would reveal implications for the high efficiency, specificity, and regulation of metabolic pathways. The extracellular matrix (ECM), as the noncellular component, is composed of various proteins such as collagens, laminins, proteoglycans, and remodeling enzymes, playing the key role in tissue architecture and homeostasis. Hydrogels are defined as highly hydrated polymer materials and maintain structural integrity by physical and chemical force, which are thought of as the most suitable materials for matching the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties with natural ECM. As one specific type of soft and wet materials, hydrogels are suitable three-dimensional carriers to locally confine bioactive guests, such as enzymes, for molecular-level biological interactions. The efficient cascade catalysis can be realized by enzyme-laden hydrogels, which can potentially interact with cells and tissues by material-to-biology communication. In this Account, we present recent progress on the preparation of enzymatic bioactive hydrogels, including in situ coassembly, in situ cross-linking strategy, and in situ enzymatic radical polymerization technology, further promoting their applications on biomedical tissue engineering, biocatalytic health monitoring, and therapeutic research. First, we provide a brief introduction of the basic concept related to an enzymatic strategy in living systems and the importance of bioinspired enzyme-laden bioactive hydrogel systems. We discuss the difficulties of the fabrication of a bioactive hydrogel with a high catalytic efficiency, thereby providing the novel molecular design and regulation based on a noncovalent coassembly and in situ self-immobilization strategy to obtain the compartmentalized enzyme-laden structure. Then the applications of an enzyme-laden bioactive hydrogel for biocatalytic applications are discussed in detail. The enzyme-laden bioactive hydrogel can maintain the favorable perception and regulation behavior of enzymes with optimal enzymatic efficacy between this confined hydrogel network and a surrounding environment. A highlight to the advances in the responsively biocatalytic monitoring and regulation of bioactive hydrogel, including the enzymatic biomedical tissue engineering and health monitoring, enzymatic regulation of tumor reactive oxygen species and therapeutic research are given. Finally, the outlook of open challenges and future developments of this rapidly evolving field is provided. This Account with highlights of diverse enzyme-laden bioactive hydrogel systems not only provides interesting insights to understand the cascade enzymatic strategy of life but also inspires to broaden and enhance the molecular-level material design and bioapplications of existing enzymatic materials in chemistry, materials science, and biology.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-encapsulated copper sulfide nanocrystals (CuS NCs) were prepared by heating an alkaline solution containing copper ions and BSA without an additional sulfur source. At a high BSA concentration (0.8 mM), nanoassembly of the as-formed CuS NCs occurs to form BSA-CuS NCs as a result of the formation of BSA gel-like structures. In addition to their intrinsic photothermal properties, the BSA-CuS NCs possess rich surface vacancies and thus exhibit enzyme-like and photodynamic activities. Spontaneous generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) led to the in situ formation of copper peroxide (CPO) nanodots on the BSA-CuS NCs to catalyze singlet oxygen radical generation. The antimicrobial response was enhanced by >60-fold upon NIR laser irradiation, which was ascribed to the combined effect of the photodynamic and photothermal inactivation of bacteria. Furthermore, BSA-CuS NCs were transdermally administered onto a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected wound and eradicated >99% of bacteria in just 1 min under NIR illumination due to the additional peroxidase-like activity of BSA-CuS NCs, transforming H2O2 at the infection site into hydroxyl radicals and thus increasing the synergistic effect from photodynamic and photothermal treatment. The BSA-CuS NCs exhibited insignificant in vitro cytotoxicity and hemolysis and thus can serve as highly biocompatible bactericides in preclinical applications to effectively eradicate bacteria.

Abstract
One of the major limitations of current cancer therapy is the inability to destroy tumors with high efficacy and minimal invasiveness. Herein, we developed a proof-of-concept fixed-point "blasting" strategy to destroy the "castle" of tumors and realized efficient interventional photothermal therapy. The "blasting" materials were composed of photothermal nanoparticles (ancient ink nanoparticles, AINP) and a low boiling point phase change agent (perfluoromethylcyclopentane, FMCP). An injectable in situ-forming thermal-responsive hydrogel composed of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers was employed as a carrier to load the AINP and FMCP. The obtained hydrogel system was a flowable aqueous solution at low or room temperature for facile injection; meanwhile, once administered, it rapidly transformed into a fixed gel at a body temperature of about 37 °C. This unique property could effectually fix the AINP and FMCP and thus restrict the destruction region inside the tumor. Subsequently, triggered by second window near-infrared light, the solid tumors were effectively destroyed by a mild photothermal effect and the subsequent gas mechanical damage. We envisage that this fixed-point "blasting" strategy will pave a new way for the next generation of cancer-interventional photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) by utilizing ultrasonic waves triggers the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the help of sonosensitizers to destruct deep-seated tumors has attracted great attention. However, the efficacy of SDT may not be robust enough due to the insufficient oxygen supply within solid tumors. Additionally, repeated injections and treatments, which are often required to achieve the optimal therapeutic responses, may cause additional side effects and patient incompliance. Herein, a thermo-triggered in situ hydrogel system is developed in which catalase (CAT) conjugated with sonosensitizer meso-tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphine (TCPP) is mixed into chitosan (CS) and beta-glycerol phosphate disodium (GP) to form the precursor solution. After injection of the precursor solution into tumors, the in situ sol-gel transformation will occur as triggered by the body temperature, resulting in the localized tumor retention of TCPP-CAT. The locally restrained TCPP-CAT not only produces ROS under ultrasonic treatment, but also sustainably reverses the oxygen-deficient status in solid tumors by triggering the O2 generation from the decomposition of endogenous H2 O2 , further promoting the efficacy of SDT. As a result, the repeated SDT after a single dose injection of such a hydrogel can offer robust treatment effects to effectively eradicate tumors.

Abstract
Precision delivery of theranostic agents to the tumor site is essential to improve their diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy and concurrently minimize adverse effects during treatment. In this study, a novel concept of near-infrared (NIR) light activation of conjugated polymer dots (Pdots) at thermosensitive hydrogel nanostructures is introduced for multimodal imaging-guided synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy. Interestingly, owing to the attractive photothermal conversion efficiency of Pdots, the Pdots@hydrogel as theranostic agents is able to undergo a controllable softening or melting state under the irradiation of NIR laser, resulting in light-triggered drug release in a controlled way and concurrently hydrogel degradation. Besides, the novel Pdots@hydrogel nanoplatform can serve as the theranostic agent for enhanced trimodal photoacoustic (PA)/computed tomography (CT)/fluorescence (FL) imaging-guided synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy of tumors. More importantly, the constructed intelligent nanocomposite Pdots@hydrogel exhibits excellent biodegradability, strong NIR absorption, bright PA/CT/FL signals, and superior tumor ablation effect. Therefore, the concept of a light-controlled multifunctional Pdots@hydrogel that integrates multiple diagnostic/therapeutic modalities into one nanoplatform can potentially be applied as a smart nanotheranostic agent to various perspectives of personalized nanomedicine.

Abstract
A variety of targeted nanoparticles were developed for the diagnosis and therapy of orthotopic and metastatic bone tumors during the past decade. This critical review will focus on principles and methods in the design of these bone-targeted nanoparticles. Ligands including bisphosphonates, aspartic acid-rich peptides and synthetic polymers were grafted on nanoparticles such as PLGA nanoparticles, liposomes, dendrimers and inorganic nanoparticles for bone targeting. Besides, other ligands such as monoclonal antibodies, peptides and aptamers targeting biomarkers on tumor/bone cells were identified for targeted diagnosis and therapy. Examples of targeted nanoparticles for the early detection of bone metastatic tumors and the ablation of cancer via chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, gene therapy and combination therapy will be intensively reviewed. The development of multifunctional nanoparticles to break down the "vicious" cycle between tumor cell proliferation and bone resorption, and the challenges and perspectives in this area will be discussed.
