Abstract
The development of therapeutics with high antimicrobial activity and immunomodulatory effects is urgently needed for the treatment of infected wounds due to the increasing danger posed by recalcitrant-infected wounds. In this study, we developed light-controlled antibacterial, photothermal, and immunomodulatory biomimetic N/hPDA@M nanoparticles (NPs). This nanoplatform was developed by loading flavonoid naringenin onto hollow mesoporous polydopamine NPs in a π-π-stacked configuration and encasing them with macrophage membranes. First, our N/hPDA@M NPs efficiently neutralized inflammatory factors present within the wound microenvironment by the integration of macrophage membranes. Afterward, the N/hPDA@M NPs effectively dismantled bacterial biofilms through a combination of the photothermal properties of PDA and the quorum sensing inhibitory effects of naringenin. It is worth noting that N/hPDA@M NPs near-infrared-enhanced release of naringenin exhibited specificity toward the NF-κB-signaling pathway, effectively mitigating the inflammatory response. This innovative design not only conferred remarkable antibacterial properties upon the N/hPDA@M NPs but also endowed them with the capacity to modulate inflammatory responses, curbing excessive inflammation and steering macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype. As a result, this multifaceted approach significantly contributes to expediting the healing process of infected skin wounds.

Abstract
The fungicide phenamacril has been employed to manage Fusarium and mycotoxins in crops, leading to persistent residues in the environment and plants. Detecting phenamacril is pivotal for ensuring environmental and food safety. In this study, haptens and artificial antigens were synthesized to produce antiphenamacril monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Additionally, gold nanoparticles coated with a polydopamine shell were synthesized and conjugated with mAbs, inducing fluorescence quenching in quantum dots. Moreover, a dual-readout immunochromatographic assay that combines the positive signal from fluorescence with the negative signal from colorimetry was developed to enable sensitive and precise detection of phenamacril within 10 min, achieving detection limits of 5 ng/mL. The method's reliability was affirmed by using spiked wheat flour samples, achieving a limit of quantitation of 0.05 mg/kg. This analytical platform demonstrates high sensitivity, outstanding accuracy, and robust tolerance to matrix effects, making it suitable for the rapid, onsite, quantitative screening of phenamacril residues.

Abstract
Structural parameters play a crucial role in determining the electromagnetic and thermal responses of gold nanoconstructs (GNCs) at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Therefore, developing GNCs for reliable, high-contrast photoacoustic imaging has been focused on adjusting structural parameters to achieve robust NIR light absorption with photostability. In this study, we introduce an efficient photoacoustic imaging contrast agent: gold sphere chains (GSCs) consisting of plasmonically coupled gold nanospheres. The chain geometry results in enhanced photoacoustic signal generation originating from outstanding photothermal characteristics compared to traditional gold contrast agents, such as gold nanorods. Furthermore, the GSCs produce consistent photoacoustic signals at laser fluences within the limits set by the American National Standards Institute. The exceptional photoacoustic response of GSCs allows for high-contrast photoacoustic imaging over multiple imaging sessions. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of our GSCs for molecular photoacoustic cancer imaging, both in vitro and in vivo, through the integration of a tumor-targeting moiety.

Abstract
Taking advantage of its adhesive nature and chemical reactivity, polydopamine (PDA) has recently been integrated with plasmonic nanoparticles to yield unprecedented hybrid nanostructures. With advanced architectures and optical properties, PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites have showcased their potential in a wide spectrum of plasmon-driven applications, ranging from catalysis and chemical sensing, to drug delivery and photothermal therapy. The rational design of PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites entails different material features of PDA and necessitates a thorough understanding of the sophisticated PDA chemistry; yet, there is still a lack of a systematic review on their fabrication strategies, plasmonic properties, and applications. In this Highlight review, five representative types of PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites will be featured. Specifically, their design principles, synthetic strategies, and optical behaviors will be elucidated with an emphasis on the irreplaceable roles of PDA in the synthetic mechanisms. Together, their essential functions in diverse applications will be outlined. Lastly, existing challenges and outlooks on the rational design and assembly of next-generation PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites will be presented. This Highlight review aims to provide synthetic insights and hints to inspire and aid researchers to innovate PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites.

Abstract
Synthetic melanin is a mimic of natural melanin analogue with intriguing properties such as metal-ion chelation, redox activity, adhesion, and broadband absorption. Melanin-inspired composite materials are formulated by assembly of melanin with other types of inorganic and organic components to target, combine, and build up the functionality, far beyond their natural capabilities. Developing efficient and universal methodologies to prepare melanin-based composite materials with unique functionality is vital for their further applications. In this review, we summarize three types of synthetic approaches, predoping, surface engineering, and physical blending, to access various melanin-inspired composite materials with distinctive structure and properties. The applications of melanin-inspired composite materials in free radical scavenging, bioimaging, antifouling, and catalytic applications are also reviewed. This review also concludes current challenges that must be addressed and research opportunities in future studies.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles (NPs) have diverse nanomedicine applications owing to their biocompatibility and abundant entry to cells. Yet, our knowledge in their interactions with cells was infrequently studied until recent years. This review presents the latest insights into the cell-nano interactions of PDA NPs, including their 'self-targeting' to dopamine receptors for cellular entry without the aid of ligands, in vitro 'self-therapeutic' cellular responses (antiferroptosis, macrophage polarization, and modulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics) in the absence of drugs, and in vivo cellular localization and pharmacological properties upon various routes of administration. This review concludes with our perspectives on the therapeutic promise of PDA NPs and the need for studies on PDA biochemistry, biodegradability, and protein adsorption.

Abstract
Heterogeneous bimetallic nanochains (NCs) have gained significant attention in the field of catalysis due to their abundant active sites, multi-component synergistic catalytic, and exotic electronic structures. Here, we present a novel approach to synthesize one-dimensional heterogeneous bimetallic nanochains using a local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) based strategy of liquid-phase photochemical welding method containing self-assembly and subsequent welding processes. Initially, we introduce additives that facilitate the self-assembly and alignment of Au nanoparticles (NPs) into orderly lines. Subsequently, the LSPR effect of the Au NPs is stimulated by light, enabling the second metal precursor to overcome the energy barrier and undergo photodeposition in the gap between the arranged Au NPs, thereby connecting the nano-metal particles. This strategy can be extended to the photochemical welding of Au NPs-Ag and Au NRs. Using electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) as a proof-of-concept application, the obtained one-dimensional structure of Au5Pt1 NCs exhibit promoted HER performances, where the mass activity of the Au5Pt1 nanochains is found to be 4.8 times higher than that of Au5Pt1 NPs and 10.4 times higher than that of commercial 20 wt% Pt/C catalysts. The promoted HER performance is benefited from the electron conduction ability and abundant active sites.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is a multifunctional biomimetic material that is friendly to biological organisms and the environment, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors have the potential to be reused. Inspired by these two factors, this review summarizes examples of PDA-modified materials at the micron or nanoscale to provide suggestions for designing intelligent and sustainable SERS biosensors that can quickly and accurately monitor disease progression. Undoubtedly, PDA is a kind of double-sided adhesive, introducing various desired metals, Raman signal molecules, recognition components, and diverse sensing platforms to enhance the sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, and practicality of SERS sensors. Particularly, core-shell and chain-like structures could be constructed by PDA facilely, and then combined with microfluidic chips, microarrays, and lateral flow assays to provide excellent references. In addition, PDA membranes with special patterns, and hydrophobic and strong mechanical properties can be used as independent platforms to carry SERS substances. As an organic semiconductor material capable of facilitating charge transfer, PDA may possess the potential for chemical enhancement in SERS. In-depth research on the properties of PDA will be helpful for the development of multi-mode sensing and the integration of diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy with chemotherapy has gradually developed into promising cancer therapy. Here, a synergistic photothermal-chemotherapy nanoplatform based on polydopamine (PDA)-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were facilely achieved via the in situ polymerization of dopamine (DA) on the surface of AuNPs. This nanoplatform exhibited augmented photothermal conversion efficiency and enhanced colloidal stability in comparison with uncoated PDA shell AuNPs. The i-motif DNA nanostructure was assembled on PDA-coated AuNPs, which could be transformed into a C-quadruplex structure under an acidic environment, showing a characteristic pH response. The PDA shell served as a linker between the AuNPs and the i-motif DNA nanostructure. To enhance the specific cellular uptake, the AS1411 aptamer was introduced to the DNA nanostructure employed as a targeting ligand. In addition, Dox-loaded NPs (DAu@PDA-AS141) showed the pH/photothermal-responsive release of Dox. The photothermal effect of DAu@PDA-AS141 elicited excellent photothermal performance and efficient cancer cell inhibition under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. Overall, these results demonstrate that the DAu@PDA-AS141 nanoplatform shows great potential in synergistic photothermal-chemotherapy.

Abstract
The demand for parenchyma-sparing local therapies for lung cancer is rising owing to an increasing incidence of multifocal lung cancers and patients who are unfit for surgery. With the latest evidence of the efficacy of lung cancer screening, more premalignant or early-stage lung cancers are being discovered and the paradigm has shifted from treatment to prevention. Transbronchial therapy is an important armamentarium in the local treatment of lung cancers, with microwave ablation being the most promising based on early to midterm results. Adjuncts to improve transbronchial ablation efficiency and accuracy include mobile C-arm platforms, software to correct for the CT-to-body divergence, metal-containing nanoparticles, and robotic bronchoscopy. Other forms of energy including steam vapor therapy and pulse electric field are under intensive investigation.

Abstract
Engineering different nanomaterials into a single functional material can impart unique properties of the parental nanoparticles, especially in the field of bio imaging and therapy. Gold nanomaterials having different sizes, shapes and dimensionalities exhibit exceptional properties apart from their non-toxicity and hence are strong candidates in the biomedical field. Designing a hybrid nanomaterial of two gold nanostructures retaining the individual properties of the parental nanomaterials is challenging. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of a hybrid nanomaterial (GQC@GNR), comprising an extremely small gold nanocluster and a representative of the asymmetric gold nanostructure, i.e., a gold nanorod, both having their own different exclusive optical properties like tuneable emission and NIR absorption characteristics, respectively. The hybrid system is designed to retain its emission and absorption in the NIR region to use it as an agent for simultaneous imaging and therapy. The formation of GQC@GNR and its architectonics heavily depend on the synthesis route and the parameters adopted which in turn have a direct influence on its properties. The architecture and its connection to the optical properties are explained using UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy, etc. DFT-based computational modelling supports architectonics as explained by the experimental findings. The formation of the gold-gold hybrid system witnessed interesting science with a strong indication that materials with desired properties can be designed by appropriately modulating the architectonics of hybrid formation. Finally, folate conjugated GQC@GNR demonstrated its efficacy for targeted imaging and photothermal therapy in HeLa cells and tumor-bearing animal models. The detailed therapeutic efficacy of GQC@GNR is also explained based on Raman spectroscopy.

[PMID: 35966585 PMCID: PMC9373821 DOI: 10.7150/thno.75816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: CRISPR-Cas12a has been integrated with nanomaterial-based optical techniques, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), to formulate a powerful amplification-free nucleic acid detection system. However, nanomaterials impose steric hindrance to limit the accessibility of CRISPR-Cas12a to the narrow gaps (SERS hot spots) among nanoparticles (NPs) for producing a significant change in signals after nucleic acid detection. Methods: To overcome this restriction, we specifically design chimeric DNA/RNA hairpins (displacers) that can be destabilized by activated CRISPR-Cas12a in the presence of target DNA, liberating excessive RNA that can disintegrate a core-satellite nanocluster via toehold-mediated strand displacement for orchestrating a promising "on-off" nucleic acid biosensor. The core-satellite nanocluster comprises a large gold nanoparticle (AuNP) core surrounded by small AuNPs with Raman tags via DNA hybridization as an ultrabright Raman reporter, and its disassembly leads to a drastic decrease of SERS intensity as signal readouts. We further introduce a magnetic core to the large AuNPs that can facilitate their separation from the disassembled nanostructures to suppress the background for improving detection sensitivity. Results: As a proof-of-concept study, our findings showed that the application of displacers was more effective in decreasing the SERS intensity of the system and attained a better limit of detection (LOD, 10 aM) than that by directly using activated CRISPR-Cas12a, with high selectivity and stability for nucleic acid detection. Introducing magnetic-responsive functionality to our system further improves the LOD to 1 aM. Conclusion: Our work not only offers a platform to sensitively and selectively probe nucleic acids without pre-amplification but also provides new insights into the design of the CRISPR-Cas12a/SERS integrated system to resolve the steric hindrance of nanomaterials for constructing biosensors.

Abstract
The development of multifunction nanoplatforms integrating accurate diagnosis and efficient therapy is of great significance for the precise treatment of tumors. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) possessing hallmark features of computed tomography (CT) imaging and photothermal conversion capability hold great potential in tumor theranostics. In this study, taking the advantages of outstanding biocompatibility, interesting anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, and abundant amino acid residues of silk fibroin (SF), a multifunctional Gd-hybridized AuNP nanoplatform was constructed using SF as a stabilizer and reductant via a facile one-pot biomimetic method, denoted as Gd:AuNPs@SF. The obtained Gd:AuNPs@SF possessed fascinating biocompatibility and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency. Functionalized with Gd, Gd:AuNPs@SF exhibited super tumor-contrasted imaging performance in magnetic resonance (MR) and CT imaging modalities. Moreover, Gd:AuNPs@SF, with strong NIR absorbance, demonstrated that it could effectively kill tumor cells in vitro, and was also proved to successfully ablate tumor tissues through MR/CT imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) without systemic toxicity in Pan02 xenograft C57BL/6 mouse models. We successfully synthesized Gd:AuNPs@SF for MR/CT dual-mode imaging-guided PTT via a facile one-pot biomimetic method, and this biomimetic strategy can also be used for the construction of other multifunction nanoplatforms, which is promising for precise tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Integrating nanoscale building blocks of low dimensionality (0D; i.e., spheres) into higher dimensional structures endows them and their corresponding materials with emergent properties non-existent or only weakly existent in the individual building blocks. Constructing 1D chains, 2D arrays and 3D superlattices using nanoparticles and colloids therefore continues to be one of the grand goals in colloid and nanomaterial science. Amongst these higher order structures, 1D colloidal chains are of particular interest, as they possess unique anisotropic properties. In recent years, the most relevant advances in 1D colloidal chain research have been made in novel synthetic methodologies and applications. In this review, we first address a comprehensive description of the research progress concerning various synthetic strategies developed to construct 1D colloidal chains. Following this, we highlight the amplified and emergent properties of the resulting materials, originating from the assembly of the individual building blocks and their collective behavior, and discuss relevant applications in advanced materials. In the discussion of synthetic strategies, properties, and applications, particular attention will be paid to overarching concepts, fresh trends, and potential areas of future research. We believe that this comprehensive review will be a driver to guide the interdisciplinary field of 1D colloidal chains, where nanomaterial synthesis, self-assembly, physical property studies, and material applications meet, to a higher level, and open up new research opportunities at the interface of classical disciplines.

Abstract
A series of glutathione (GSH)-responsive polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using a disulfide-linked dopamine dimer as starting material, of which the size could be tuned systematically by adjusting the amount of ammonia solution used. Molecules of a phthalocyanine (Pc)-based photosensitiser and an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting peptide were then sequentially immobilised on the surface of the NPs through coupling with the surface functionalities of PDA. The immobilised Pc molecules in the resulting nanosystem were photodynamically inactive due to the strong self-quenching effect and the quenching by the PDA core. Upon exposure to GSH in phosphate-buffered saline or EGFR-positive cancer cells, namely A549 and A431 cells, the NPs were disassembled through cleavage of the disulfide linkages to release the Pc molecules, thereby restoring their fluorescence emission and singlet oxygen generation. The NPs with the smallest size (ca. 200 nm in diameter) exhibited the highest cellular uptake and high photocytotoxicity with IC50 values as low as 0.05 μM based on Pc. These NPs could also accumulate and be activated in the tumour of A431 tumour-bearing nude mice, lighting up the tumour with fluorescence over a period of 72 h and completely eradicating the tumour through laser irradiation for 10 min (675 nm, 20 J cm-2). The results suggest that these biodegradable and versatile PDA-based NPs can serve as a promising nanoplatform for fabrication of advanced photosensitisers for targeted photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
A thioketal-linked dimer of 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine was prepared which underwent self-polymerisation in the presence of doxorubicin (Dox) in an ethanol/water (1 : 4, v/v) mixture with ammonia. The resulting Dox-encapsulated polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles were further conjugated with molecules of a zinc(II) phthalocyanine (Pc)-based photosensitiser and a peptide containing the heptapeptide QRHKPRE sequence (labelled as QRH) that can target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpressed in cancer cells. Upon internalisation into these cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, these nanoparticles labelled as PDA-Dox-Pc-QRH were disassembled gradually via cleavage of the thioketal linkages by the intrinsic intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). The stacked Pc molecules were then disaggregated, resulting in activation of their photosensitising property upon irradiation. The ROS generated by the activated Pc promoted further degradation of the nanoparticles and release of Dox, thereby enhancing cell death by synergistic chemo and photodynamic therapy. Systemic injection of PDA-Dox-Pc-QRH into EGFR-overexpressed tumour-bearing nude mice led to targeted delivery to the tumour, and subsequent light irradiation caused complete tumour ablation without inducing notable toxicity.

Abstract
Herein, novel rodlike CdTe@MPA-PDA particles based on polydopamine (PDA) loaded with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) capped with mercaptopropionic acid (CdTe@MPA QDs) with atypical chemical features are evaluated as a potential actuator for photothermal therapy and oxidative stress induction. Under mild conditions established for the safe and efficient use of lasers, temperature increases of 10.2 and 7.8 °C, photothermal conversion efficiencies of 37.7 and 26.2%, and specific absorption rates of 99 and 69 W/g were obtained for CdTe@MPA-PDA and traditional PDA particles in water, respectively. The particles were set to interact with the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231. A significant cellular uptake with the majority of particles colocalized into the lysosomes was obtained at a concentration of 100 μg/mL after 24 h. Additionally, CdTe@MPA-PDA and CdTe@MPA QDs showed significantly different internalization levels and loading kinetics profiles. For the first time, the thermal lens technique was used to demonstrate the stability of particle-like CdTe@MPA-PDA after heating at pH 7 and their migration within the heating region due to the thermodiffusion effect. However, under acidic pH-type lysosomes, a performance decrease in heating was observed, and the chemical feature of the particles was damaged as well. Besides, the internalized rodlike CdTe@MPA-PDA notably enhanced the induction of oxidative stress compared with PDA alone and CdTe@MPA QDs in MDA-MB-231 cells initiating apoptosis. Combining these effects suggests that after meticulous optimizations of the conditions, the CdTe@MPA-PDA particles could be used as a photothermal agent under mild conditions and short incubation time, allowing cytoplasmatic subcellular localization. On the other hand, the same particles act as cell killers by triggering reactive oxygen species after a longer incubation time and lysosomal subcellular localization due to the pH effect on the chemical morphology features of the CdTe@MPA-PDA particles.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA)-coated nanoparticles (NPs) are emerging carriers of therapeutic agents for nanomedicine applications due to their biocompatibility and abundant entry to various cell types, yet it remains unknown whether their cellular entry engages cell-surface receptors. As monomeric dopamine (DA) is an endogenous ligand of dopamine receptor and raw ingredient of PDA, we elucidate the interaction between polyethylene glycol-stabilized, PDA-coated gold NPs (Au@PDA@PEG NPs) and dopamine receptors, particularly D2 (D2DR). After proving the binding of Au@PDA@PEG NPs to recombinant and cellular D2DR, we employ antibody blocking, gene knockdown, and gene overexpression to establish the role of D2DR in the cellular uptake of Au@PDA@PEG NPs in vitro. By preparing a series of PEG-coated AuNPs that contain different structural analogues of DA (Au@PEG-X NPs), we demonstrate that catechol and amine groups collectively enhance the binding of NPs to D2DR and their cellular uptake. By intravenously injecting Au@PDA@PEG NPs to Balb/c mice, we reveal their in vivo binding to D2DR in the liver by competitive inhibition and immunohistochemistry together with their preferential association to D2DR-rich resident Kupffer cells by flow cytometry, a result consistent with the profuse expression of D2DR by resident Kupffer cells. Catechol and amine groups jointly contribute to the preferential association of NPs to D2DR-rich Kupffer cells. Our data highlight the importance of D2DR expression and DA-related functional groups in mediating the cell-nano interactions of PDA-based nanomedicines.

Abstract
Overexploitation of antibiotics increases the emergence of multidrug-resistant agents (MDRAs), which may potentially cause a global crisis with severe health consequences. Hence, there is great demand for next-generation antibacterial platforms based on antibiotic-free strategies or targeted therapies to mitigate the emergence of MDRAs. Herein, an all-in-one hollow nanoworm (A-Fe/AuAg@PDA) is developed with a core comprising citrate-capped Au-Ag nanoparticles (Cit-AuAg NPs) loaded with Fe2O3 and an l-arginine (L-Arg)-modified polydopamine (PDA) outer shell, possessing exceptional magnetic-targeting ability and a photothermal therapeutic effect. Following intravenous injection, A-Fe/AuAg@PDA can be precisely delivered to the targeted infection sites by an externally applied magnetic field. The in situ produced NO, together with Ag ions and reactive oxygen species, synergistically results in the highly effective elimination of in vivo bacterial infection. With the aid of functional worm-like A-Fe/AuAg@PDA nanocarriers possessing superior biocompatibility, the combination of magnetic guidance therapy and near-infrared-triggered in situ generation of NO may provide a novel approach for eradicating abscesses in the body. To our knowledge, this is the first study highlighting the magnetically guided delivery of worm-like nanocarriers for the antibiotic-free therapy of bacterial infections using in situ generated NO gas, which demonstrates high potential for application in clinical gas therapy.

Abstract
A novel nanosystem of polydopamine-coated gold nanorods (AuNR@PDA) immobilised with molecules of hairpin DNA-conjugated distyryl boron dipyrromethene (DSBDP) was designed and fabricated for detection of microRNA-21 (miR-21). By using this oncogenic stimulus, the photodynamic effect of the DSBDP-based photosensitiser was also activated. In the presence of miR-21, the fluorescence intensity of the nanosystem was increased due to the dissociation of the conjugate from AuNR@PDA upon hybridisation. The intracellular fluorescence intensity triggered by intracellular miR-21 was in the order: MCF-7 > HeLa > HEK-293, which was in accordance with their miR-21 expression levels. The specificity was demonstrated by comparing the results with those of an analogue with a scrambled DNA sequence. The nanosystem could also result in miR-21-mediated photodynamic eradication of miR-21-overexpressed MCF-7 cells. After intravenous injection of the nanosystem into HeLa tumour-bearing nude mice, the fluorescence intensity of the tumour was increased over 24 h and was about 3-fold stronger than that of the scrambled analogue. Upon irradiation, the nanosystem could also greatly reduce the size of the tumour without causing significant tissue damage in the major organs. The overall results showed that this nanoplatform can serve as a specific and potent theranostic agent for simultaneous miR-21 detection and miR-21-mediated photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Phenolics are ubiquitous in nature and have gained immense research attention because of their unique physiochemical properties and widespread industrial use. In recent decades, their accessibility, versatile reactivity, and relative biocompatibility have catalysed research in phenolic-enabled nanotechnology (PEN) particularly for biomedical applications which have been a major benefactor of this emergence, as largely demonstrated by polydopamine and polyphenols. Therefore, it is imperative to overveiw the fundamental mechanisms and synthetic strategies of PEN for state-of-the-art biomedical applications and provide a timely and comprehensive summary. In this review, we will focus on the principles and strategies involved in PEN and summarize the use of the PEN synthetic toolkit for particle engineering and the bottom-up synthesis of nanohybrid materials. Specifically, we will discuss the attractive forces between phenolics and complementary structural motifs in confined particle systems to synthesize high-quality products with controllable size, shape, composition, as well as surface chemistry and function. Additionally, phenolic's numerous applications in biosensing, bioimaging, and disease treatment will be highlighted. This review aims to provide guidelines for new scientists in the field and serve as an up-to-date compilation of what has been achieved in this area, while offering expert perspectives on PEN's use in translational research.

Abstract
Cu2+ is closely related to the occurrence and development of Wilson's disease (WD), and quantitative detection of various copper indicators (especially liver Cu2 and urinary Cu2+) is the key step for the early diagnosis of WD in the clinic. However, the clinic Cu2+ detection approach was mainly based on testing the liver tissue through combined invasive liver biopsy and the ICP-MS method, which is painful for the patient and limited in determining WD status in real-time. Herein, we rationally designed a type of Cu2+-activated nanoprobe based on nanogapped gold nanoparticles (AuNNP) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to simultaneously quantify the liver Cu2+ content and urinary Cu2+ in WD by photoacoustic (PA) imaging and ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), respectively. In the nanoprobe, one Raman molecule of 2-naphthylthiol (NAT) was placed in the nanogap of AuNNP. PNIPAM and the other Raman molecule mercaptobenzonitrile (MBN) were coated on the AuNNP surface, named AuNNP-NAT@MBN/PNIPAM. Cu2+ can efficiently coordinate with the chelator PNIPAM and lead to aggregation of the nanoprobe, resulting in the absorption red-shift and increased PA performance of the nanoprobe in the NIR-II window. Meanwhile, the SERS signal at 2223 cm-1 of MBN is amplified, while the SERS signal at 1378 cm-1 of NAT remains stable, generating a ratiometric SERS I2223/I1378 signal. Both NIR-II PA1250 nm and SERS I2223/I1378 signals of the nanoprobe show a linear relationship with the concentration of Cu2+. The nanoprobe was successfully applied for in vivo quantitative detection of liver Cu2+ of WD mice through NIR-II PA imaging and accurate quantification of urinary Cu2+ of WD patients by ratiometric SERS. We anticipate that the activatable nanoprobe might be applied for assisting an early, precise diagnosis of WD in the clinic in the future.

Abstract
Controlling solar transmission through windows promises to reduce building energy consumption. A new smart window for adaptive solar modulation is presented in this work proposing the combination of the photothermal one-dimensional (1D) Au nanochains and thermochromic hydrogel. In this adaptive solar modulation system, the Au nanochains act as photoresponsive nanoheaters to stimulate the optical switching of the thermochromic hydrogel. By carefully adjusting the electrostatic interactions between nanoparticles, different chain morphologies and plateau-like broad-band absorption in the NIR region are achieved. Such broad-band-absorbed 1D nanochains possess excellent thermoplasmonic effect and enable the solar modulation with compelling features of improved NIR light shielding, high initial visible transmittance, and fast response speed. The designed smart window based on 1D Au nanochains is capable of shielding 94.1% of the solar irradiation from 300 to 2500 nm and permitting 71.2% of visible light before the optical switching for indoor visual comfort. In addition, outdoor cooling tests in model house under continuous natural solar irradiation reveal the remarkable passive cooling performance up to ∼7.8 °C for the smart window based on 1D Au nanochains, showing its potential in the practical application of building energy saving.

Abstract
Detection of vaccine (adjuvant and antigen) is crucial for the fundamental studies of immunotherapy. In this work, the catechol-containing glycopolymer obtained by sunlight-induced RAFT polymerization was first designed to generate glycoadjuvant@AuNPs. Then, a simple and general self-assembled technique, catechol-driven self-assembly (CDSA), was developed to fabricate AuNP-based glycoadjuvant patterns, regardless of the size, shape and synthetic method of AuNPs. More importantly, highly ordered glycoadjuvant patterns could be easily formed by catechol-driven self-assembly under confinement, which exhibit a higher SERS signal amplification ability for the detection of carbohydrates (glycoadjuvant).

Abstract
Here, Au@mSiO2 core-shell nanoparticles were easily synthesized by a one-pot method. Positively charged alkyl chains with different lengths were modified on the surface of the particles. Thus composite nanoparticles with different potentials and hydrophilic interface properties were prepared. Based on the charge properties of the shell surface, the process of loading dyes was simplified by the strong electrostatic adsorption between the particle surface and the heterogeneous negatively charged dyes. The fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime of the loaded fluorescent dyes showed that the dyes could not produce effective tunneling in the mesoporous materials, which was limited to the surface of the particles, which is beneficial for the subsequent research on the loading or release of nanoparticles. After loading, the nanoparticles still exhibit a high fluorescence intensity, enabling dual-mode microscopic imaging (TEM and fluorescence).

Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) and biological components is critical to the clinical application of NPs and nanomedicine. Here we provide a step-by-step correlative imaging approach to investigate plasmonic NPs of different aggregation states at the single-cell level. Traceable spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) are fabricated by decorating 50-nm spherical gold NPs with fluorophore-labeled DNA, serving as dually emissive (fluorescent and plasmonic) NPs. The in situ correlative imaging with dark-field microscopy (DFM) and fluorescence microscopy (FM) reveals intracellular distribution of SNAs, whereas DFM combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) allows semi-quantification of SNA clustering states in solution. The imaging data are analyzed by ImageJ and a colorimetry-based algorithm written in Python. The clustering states of SNAs in a single cell can be efficiently distinguished within 20 s. This method can be readily installed to monitor real-time endocytosis and cellular distribution of plasmonic NPs of different aggregation states and to quantitatively image targets of interest (e.g., specific DNA, messenger RNA, peptides or proteins) in living cells. The entire procedure can be completed in 3-5 d and requires standard DFM, FM and SEM imaging and data analysis skills and equipment.

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

Abstract
This work reported a facile method for fabricating multi-layered polydopamine (PDA) encapsulated AuAg@C@AuAg core/shell nanosphere with a hollow interior. During the synthetic process, the preliminary Ag@C nanosphere is easily covered by an AuAg/PDA hybrid layer through the in situ redox-oxidized polymerization to form the Ag-AuAg@C@AuAg/PDA precursor, in which the AuAg bimetallic nanocrystals are simultaneously obtained via the electrochemical substitution reaction. After etching the residue Ag core, the final AuAg@C@AuAg/PDA hybrid nanosphere is achieved and the inner AuAg shows a unique nanoframe-like nanostructure. The carbon shell plays an important role for the formation and structure evolution of the AuAg@C@AuAg/PDA, and the composition can be modulated by varying the polymerization process. Owing to the well distributed AuAg nanocrystals and inner AuAg nanoframes, the AuAg@C@AuAg/PDA shows better performance than Ag-AuAg@C@AuAg/PDA precursor in catalyzing 4-nitrophenol, and the rate constant (K) to catalyst weight ratio reaches as high as 3.63 min-1 •mg-1. As a result, this work not only offers a hybrid bi-metallic nanocatalyst with excellent performance, but also has valuable implications for compositional modulation of hollow interior multi-layered nanostructure in adsorption, drug delivery, and nanocatalysis.

Abstract
Concerns over the health risks associated with airborne exposure to ultrafine particles [PM0.1, or nanoparticles (NPs)] call for a comprehensive understanding in the interactions of inhaled NPs along their respiratory journey. We prepare a collection of polyethylene glycol-coated gold nanoparticles that bear defined functional groups commonly identified in atmospheric particulates (Au@PEG-X NPs, where X = OCH3, COOH, NH2, OH, or C12H25). Regardless of the functional group, these ∼50 nm NPs remain colloidally stable following aerosolization and incubation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), without pronouncedly crossing the air-blood barrier. The type of BALF proteins adhered onto the NPs is similar, but the composition of protein corona depends on functional group. By subjecting Balb/c mice to inhalation of Au@PEG-X NPs for 6 h, we demonstrate that the intrapulmonary distribution of NPs among the various types of cells (both found in BALF and isolated from the lavaged lung) and the acute inflammatory responses induced by inhalation are sensitive to the functional group of NPs and postinhalation period (0, 24, or 48 h). By evaluating the pairwise correlations between the three variables of "lung-nano" interactions (protein corona, intrapulmonary cellular-level distribution, and inflammatory response), we reveal strong statistical correlations between the (1) fractions of albumin or carbonyl reductase bound to NPs, (2) associations of inhaled NPs to neutrophils in BALF or macrophages in the lavaged lung, and (3) level of total protein in BALF. Our results provide insights into the effect of functional group on lung-nano interactions and health risks associated with inhalation of PM0.1.

C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 109:110525.

Abstract
Photoluminescent noble metal nanoclusters (NCs, core size <2 nm) have recently emerged as a new type of photosensitizers advantageous over conventional photosensitizers due to their high singlet oxygen (1O2) generation efficiency, excellent photostability and water solubility, as well as good biocompatibility for photodynamic therapy and bioimaging. However, no correlation has been established between the intrinsic 1O2 generation and photoluminescence properties of metal NCs with their size, composition, and concentration, which is important to customize the molecule-like properties of NCs for different applications. Herein, we report a systematic study to uncover the rational design of bimetallic NCs with controllable 1O2 generation efficiency by tuning their compositions through spontaneous galvanic displacement reaction. A series of ultrasmall gold/silver alloy nanoclusters (AuAgNCs) were synthesized by reacting bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein-protected Ag13NCs (13 Ag atoms/cluster) with varying concentrations of gold precursor at room temperature. It was found that the 1O2 generation efficiency of the resultant BSA-protected AuAgNCs were inversely correlated to their photoluminescence intensity. Interestingly, plasmonic gold nanoparticles (>10 nm) were also formed simultaneously by photobleaching of the BSA-AuAgNCs, leading to significant metal enhancement effect to the 1O2 generation rate much higher (~45 times) than that of the monometallic BSA-Ag13NC. This versatile two-for-one strategy to develop next generation metal-enhanced bimetallic NC photosensitizers in one pot opens up new opportunities in designing advanced hybrid nanomaterials with complementary and/or enhanced functionalities.

Abstract
The controlled surface functionalisation of polystyrene beads (200 nm) with a lipoic acid derivative is used to assemble composites with between 4 to 20% loadings of citrate stabilised gold nanoparticles (13 nm-30 nm), which exhibit variable optical properties arising from interactions of the nanoparticle surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The decrease in average interparticle distance at higher loadings results in a red-shift in the SPR wavelength, which is well described by a universal ruler equation. The composite particles are shown to act as good SERS substrates for the standard analyte 4-mercaptophenol. The direct assessment of the SERS activity for individual composite particles solution is achieved by Raman optical tweezer measurements on 5.3 μm composite particles. These measurements show an increase in performance with increasing AuNP size. Importantly, the SERS activity of the individual particles compares well with the bulk measurements of samples deposited on a surface, indicating that the SERS activity arises primarily from the composite and not due to composite-composite interactions. In both studies the optimum SERS response is obtained with 30 nm AuNPs.

Abstract
The design of magnetic nanostructures whose magnetic heating efficiency remains unaffected at the tumor site is a fundamental requirement to further advance magnetic hyperthermia in the clinic. This work demonstrates that the confinement of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) into a sub-micrometer cavity is a key strategy to enable a certain degree of nanoparticle motion and minimize aggregation effects, consequently preserving the magnetic heat loss of iron oxide nanocubes (IONCs) under different conditions, including intracellular environments. We fabricated magnetic layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembled polyelectrolyte sub-micrometer capsules using three different approaches, and we studied their heating efficiency as obtained in aqueous dispersions and after internalization by tumor cells. First, IONCs were added to the hollow cavities of LbL submicrocapsules, allowing the IONCs to move to a certain extent in the capsule cavities. Second, IONCs were coencapsulated into solid calcium carbonate cores coated with LbL polymer shells. Third, IONCs were incorporated within the polymer layers of the LbL capsule walls. In aqueous solution, higher specific absorption rate (SAR) values were related to those of free IONCs, while lower SAR values were recorded for capsule/core assemblies. However, after uptake by cancer cell lines (SKOV-3 cells), the SAR values of the free IONCs were significantly lower than those observed for capsule/core assemblies, especially after prolonged incubation periods (24 and 48 h). These results show that IONCs packed into submicrocavities preserve the magnetic losses, as the SAR values remained almost invariable. Conversely, free IONCs without the protective capsule shell agglomerated and their magnetic losses were strongly reduced. Indeed, IONC-loaded capsules and free IONCs reside inside endosomal and lysosomal compartments after cellular uptake and show strongly reduced magnetic losses due to the immobilization and aggregation in centrosymmetrical structures in the intracellular vesicles. The confinement of IONCs into sub-micrometer cavities is a key strategy to provide a sustained and predictable heating dose inside biological matrices.
