Abstract
Preventing bacterial infections is a crucial aspect of wound healing. There is an urgent need for multifunctional biomaterials without antibiotics to promote wound healing. In this study, we fabricated a guar gum (GG)-based nanocomposite hydrogel, termed GBTF, which exhibited photothermal antibacterial therapy for infected wound healing. The GBTF hydrogel formed a cross-linked network through dynamic borate/diol interactions between GG and borax, thereby exhibiting simultaneously self-healing, adaptable, and injectable properties. Additionally, tannic acid (TA)/Fe3+ nanocomplexes (NCs) were incorporated into the hydrogel to confer photothermal antibacterial properties. Under the irradiation of an 808 nm near-infrared laser, the TA/Fe3+ NCs in the hydrogel could rapidly generate heat, leading to the disruption of bacterial cell membranes and subsequent bacterial eradication. Furthermore, the hydrogels exhibited good cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility, making them a precandidate for preclinical and clinical applications. Finally, they could significantly promote bacteria-infected wound healing by reducing bacterial viability, accelerating collagen deposition, and promoting epithelial remodeling. Therefore, the multifunctional GBTF hydrogel, which was composed entirely of natural substances including guar gum, borax, and polyphenol/ferric ion NCs, showed great potential for regenerating infected skin wounds in clinical applications.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM), deep in the brain, is more challenging to diagnose and treat than other tumors. Such challenges have blocked the development of high-impact therapeutic approaches that combine reliable diagnosis with targeted therapy. Herein, effective cyanine dyes (IRLy) with the near-infrared two region (NIR-II) adsorption and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) have been developed via an "extended conjugation & molecular rotor" strategy for multimodal imaging and phototherapy of deep orthotopic GBM. IRLy was synthesized successfully through a rational molecular rotor modification with stronger penetration, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) up to ∼60%, which can achieve efficient NIR-II photo-response. The multifunctional nanoparticles (Tf-IRLy NPs) were further fabricated to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) introducing transferrin (Tf) as a targeting ligand. Tf-IRLy NPs showed high biosafety and good tumor enrichment for GBM in vitro and in vivo, and thus enabled accurate, efficient, and less invasive NIR-II multimodal imaging and photothermal therapy. This versatile Tf-IRLy nanosystem can provide a reference for the efficient, precise and low-invasive multi-synergistic brain targeted photo-theranostics. In addition, the "extended conjugation & molecular rotor" strategy can be used to guide the design of other photothermal agents.

Abstract
Hyperthermic nanomedicines are particularly relevant for tackling human cancer, providing a valuable alternative to conventional therapeutics. The early-stage preclinical performance evaluation of such anti-cancer treatments is conventionally performed in flat 2D cell cultures that do not mimic the volumetric heat transfer occurring in human tumors. Recently, improvements in bioengineered 3D in vitro models have unlocked the opportunity to recapitulate major tumor microenvironment hallmarks and generate highly informative readouts that can contribute to accelerating the discovery and validation of efficient hyperthermic treatments. Leveraging on this, herein we aim to showcase the potential of engineered physiomimetic 3D tumor models for evaluating the preclinical efficacy of hyperthermic nanomedicines, featuring the main advantages and design considerations under diverse testing scenarios. The most recent applications of 3D tumor models for screening photo- and/or magnetic nanomedicines will be discussed, either as standalone systems or in combinatorial approaches with other anti-cancer therapeutics. We envision that breakthroughs toward developing multi-functional 3D platforms for hyperthermia onset and follow-up will contribute to a more expedited discovery of top-performing hyperthermic therapies in a preclinical setting before their in vivo screening.

Abstract
For degradation of β-lactam antibiotics pollution in waters, the strained β-lactam ring is the most toxic and resistant moiety to biodegrade and redox-chemically treat among their functional groups. Hydrolytically opening β-lactam ring with Lewis acid catalysts has long been recognized as a shortcut, but at room temperature, such hydrolysis is too slow to be deployed. Here, we found when Cu2+ was immobilized on imine-linked COF (covalent organic framework) (Cu2+/Py-Bpy-COF, Cu2+ load is 1.43 wt%), as-prepared composite can utilize the light irradiation (wavelength range simulated sunlight) to in situ heat anchored Cu2+ Lewis acid sites through an excellent photothermal conversion to open the β-lactam ring followed by a desired full-decarboxylation of hydrolysates. Under 1 W/cm2 simulated sunlight, Cu2+/Py-Bpy-COF powders placed in a microfiltration membrane rapidly cause a temperature rising even to ~211.7 °C in 1 min. It can effectively hydrolyze common β-lactam antibiotics in waters and even antibiotics concentration is as high as 1 mM and it takes less than 10 min. Such photo-heating hydrolysis rate is ~24 times as high as under dark and ~2 times as high as Cu2+ homogenous catalysis. Our strategy significantly decreases the interference from generally coexisting common organics in waters and potential toxicity concerns of residual carboxyl groups in hydrolysates and opens up an accessible way for the settlement of β-lactam antibiotics pollutants by the only energy source available, the sunlight.

Abstract
Activating a tumor antigen-specific immune response is key to the success of tumor immunotherapy and the development of personalized antitumor therapy. Nanocarriers can capture, enrich, and protect in situ produced tumor antigens due to immunogenic cell death (ICD), thus enhancing the tumor-specific immune response. Developing multifunctional nanocarriers that combine multiple antigen capturing mechanisms is crucial to the activation of tumor-specific immune responses. In this study, polyethylenimine (PEI) was employed as a main building block to construct a series of multifunctional indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded nanoparticles to capture antigens via multiple mechanisms: electrostatic interactions with PEI, hydrophobic interactions with the thermosensitive segment (POEGMA300), and covalent bonding with the pyridyl disulfide (PDS) groups, respectively. Their capacity of ICD induction, tumor antigen-capture, and antitumor immune responses were evaluated. Both the intrinsic toxicity of PEI and the ICG-mediated photothermal effect were responsible for inducing ICD. The positively charged PEI segment exhibited the best antigen-capturing ability via electrostatic interactions, promoted bone marrow-derived dendritic cell maturation and CD8+ T cell proliferation, and elicited antitumor immune responses in vivo. PDS groups bonded antigens covalently and significantly contributed to the suppression of distant tumor growth. Although the thermosensitive hydrophobic polymer segment did not contribute positively to antigen capture or tumor growth inhibition, NPs containing all of the functional modules prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice more than other treatments. This study provides more chemical insights into the design of polymer-based in situ nanovaccines against cancer.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a promising strategy for tumor treatment. Nevertheless, the low Fenton catalytic efficiency and the high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells largely decline antitumor efficacy of CDT. To self-augment antitumor effect of the CDT by combining with photothermal therapy (PTT), the unique photothermal nanozymes that doubly depleted GSH, and generated massive hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the hyperthermia/acidity-activated manner were developed. Through the coordination of Fe3+ ions with PEGylated chitosan (PEG-CS)-modified polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles, the attained Fe3+@PEG-CS/PDA nanozymes showed outstanding colloidal stability, photothermal conversion efficiency and acidity-triggered Fe3+ release. By GSH-mediated valence states transition of Fe3+ ions and Michael reaction between GSH and quinone-rich PDA, the nanozymes sufficiently executed dual depletion of GSH with the elevated temperature.Under mimic tumor acidity and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation condition, the endocytosed nanozymes effectively converted intracellular H2O2 into toxic ·OH upon amplified Fenton reaction, thereby potently killing 4T1 cancer cells and RAW 264.7 cells. Importantly, the nanozymes prominently suppressed 4T1 tumor growth in vivo and metastasis of cancer cells by CDT/PTT combination therapy without significant systemic toxicity. Our study provides novel visions in design of therapeutic nanozymes with great clinical translational prospect for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancer with limited therapeutic options. Chemo-photothermal combination therapy has demonstrated potential for effectively treating melanoma, and transdermal administration is considered the optimal route for treating skin diseases due to its ability to bypass first-pass metabolism and enhance drug concentration. However, the stratum corneum presents a formidable challenge as a significant barrier to drug penetration in transdermal drug delivery. Lipid-nanocarriers, particularly cubosomes, have been demonstrated to possess significant potential in augmenting drug permeation across the stratum corneum. Herein, cubosomes co-loaded with doxorubicin (DOX, a chemotherapeutic drug) and indocyanine green (ICG, a photothermal agent) (DOX-ICG-cubo) transdermal drug delivery system was developed to enhance the therapeutic efficiency of melanoma by improving drug permeation. The DOX-ICG-cubo showed high encapsulation efficiency of both DOX and ICG, and exhibited good stability under physiological conditions. In addition, the unique cubic structure of the DOX-ICG-cubo was confirmed through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, polarizing microscopy, and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The DOX-ICG-cubo presented high photothermal conversion efficiency, as well as pH and thermo-responsive DOX release. Notably, the DOX-ICG-cubo exhibited enhanced drug permeation efficiency, good biocompatibility, and improved in vivo anti-melanoma efficacy through the synergistic effects of chemo-photothermal therapy. In conclusion, DOX-ICG-cubo presented a promising strategy for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
The development of functional materials for tumor immunogenicity enhancement is desirable for overcoming the low therapeutic efficiency and easy metastasis during tumor treatments. Herein, the thermoresponsive nanoparticles composed of photothermal agent (PTA) and click reactive reagent are developed for enhanced immunotherapy application. A Ni-bis(dithiolene)-containing PTA with intense near-infrared absorption and efficient photothermal conversion is developed for thermoresponsive nanoparticles construction. The generated heat by encapsulated PTA further induces the phase transition of thermoresponsive nanoparticles with the release of chemotherapy reagent to react with the amino groups on functional proteins, realizing PTT and chemotherapy simultaneously. Moreover, the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of cancer cells evoked by PTT could be further enhanced by the released reactive reagent. As a result, the synergistic effect of photothermal treatment and reaction-mediated chemotherapy can suppress the growth of a primary tumor, and the evoked ICD could further activate the immune response with the suppression of a distant tumor. This synergistic treatment strategy provides a reliable and promising approach for cancer immunotherapy in clinic.

Carbohydr Polym 2023; 304:120454. [PMID: 36641184 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2022.120454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
CFP2 is a sulfated polysaccharide isolated from Codium fragile that shows excellent immunomodulatory activity. To reduce the side effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), CFP2 was used as a macromolecular carrier to react with carboxymethyl-5-fluorouracil (C-5-FU) to form CFP2-C-5-FU, which further reacted with folic acid (FA) via an ester bond to form novel conjugates (CFP2-C-5-FU-FA). CFP2-C-5-FU-FA was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis. In vitro drug release results showed that the cumulative release rate of C-5-FU was 49.9% in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) after 96 h, which was much higher than that of the other groups, indicating that CFP2-C-5-FU-FA showed controlled drug release behavior. CFP2-C-5-FU-FA also exhibited enhanced apoptosis and cellular uptake in vitro. Further, intravenous administration of CFP2-C-5-FU-FA in an HCT-116 cell-bearing xenograft mouse showed that the conjugates were safe and effective drug delivery systems. These results suggest that folate-targeted conjugates can be used effectively for efficient chemotherapy of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Direct use of chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of gastric cancer often leads to systemic side effects and unsatisfied therapeutic efficacy due to the lack of tumour-targeting ability. The excellent properties of nanoparticles make them good tools to provide more options for the targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. Herein, we developed a novel nanomedicine (GOQD-ICG-CS-6@HM nanoparticles, GIC@HM NPs), which employed graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) to co-load photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapeutic drug gamabufotalin (CS-6) as the core and wrapped with the hybrid membrane (erythrocyte membrane and gastric cancer cell membrane, HM) on its surface. This nanomedicine possesses the functions of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy, making it a good choice for the treatment of gastric cancer. The results showed that the bionic-coated hybrid membrane not only improves the biocompatibility of the nanomedicine, and prolong its circulating half-life, but also delivers the drug to the tumour site precisely and improves the efficiency of drug utilisation. In vitro and in vivo studies further showed that GIC@HM NPs exhibited combinational effects on tumour therapy while displaying no obvious side effects on normal tissue. To sum up, the newly developed GIC@HM NPs provide a safer, more efficient, and more precise method for gastric cancer treatment.

Abstract
Despite its promising potential in cancer treatment, synergistic photothermal/chemodynamic therapy remains underdeveloped with regard to the utilization of metal-organic materials under second near-infrared (NIR-II) laser excitation. Herein, we report a three-dimensional network constructed via the metal coordination between catechol-functionalized aza-boron dipyrromethenes and iron ions (ABFe), which was further encapsulated by F127 to obtain ABFe nanoparticles (NPs) for combined photothermal/chemodynamic therapy. ABFe NPs exhibited intense absorption in the NIR-II range and negligible fluorescence. Upon 1064 nm laser irradiation, ABFe NPs showed high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE = 55.0%) and excellent photothermal stability. The results of electron spin resonance spectra and o-phenylenediamine chromaticity spectrophotometry proved that ABFe NPs were capable of generating harmful reactive oxygen species from hydrogen peroxide for chemodynamic therapy, which was promoted by photothermal performance. Notably, in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the great potential of ABFe NPs in photoacoustic imaging and photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy under NIR-II laser irradiation. Therefore, the current work presents a prospective NIR-II excitation therapeutic nanomedicine for combination therapy, offering a novel strategy for simultaneously achieving extended NIR absorption of aza-BODIPY and enhanced chemodynamic therapy with metal-organic materials.

Abstract
Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The disease progression of sepsis is very fast, and there is a 7-9% increase in mortality every hour. Therefore, rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria is crucial for the timely treatment of sepsis as well as the reduction of mortality. Herein, we present a sensitive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence identification and a rapid magnetic capture based on bioorthogonal nanoprobes for the detection of multiple bacteria in whole blood. The nanoprobes with NIR fluorescence/magnetic properties were modified with dibenzocyclooctyne groups and used to capture and recognize the bacteria via bioorthogonal reaction. The magnetic nanoprobes showed superparamagnetic properties with a saturation magnetization as high as 63 emu/g. Through clicking with the azide groups inserted on the bacteria walls by metabolic engineering, the bioorthogonal magnetic nanoprobes allow fast and broad-spectrum capture of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The bioorthogonal NIR fluorescent nanoprobes with a maximum emission at 900 nm can effectively avoid background interference, further enabling sensitive identification of the bacteria in whole blood. The detection limit was as low as 4 CFU/mL in less than 2.5 h and the nanoprobes were successfully applied to the detection of bacteria in blood samples from the patients with sepsis, showing the potential application in early sepsis diagnosis and clinical studies.

Abstract
Cancer is recognized as one of the world's deadliest diseases, with more than 10 million new cases each year. Over the past 2 decades, several studies have been performed on cancer to pursue solutions for effective treatment. One of the vital benefits of utilizing nanoparticles (NPs) in cancer treatment is their high adaptability for modification and amalgamation of different physicochemical properties to boost their anti-cancer activity. Various nanomaterials have been designed as nanocarriers attributing nontoxic and biocompatible drug delivery systems with improved bioactivity. The present review article briefly explained various types of nanocarriers, such as organic-inorganic-hybrid NPs, and their targeting mechanisms. Here a special focus is given to the synthesis, benefits, and applications of polymeric NPs (PNPs) involved in various anti-cancer therapeutics. It has also been discussed about the drug delivery approach by the functionalized/encapsulated PNPs (without/with targeting ability) that are being applied in the therapy and diagnostic (theranostics). Overall, this review can give a glimpse into every aspect of PNPs, from their synthesis to drug delivery application for cancer cells.

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

Abstract
Cervical carcinoma is the fourth most common gynecological cancer. Here we reported the synthesis of oxygen-carried and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/ indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded nanoparticles (OLI_NPs) for photo-sonodynamic therapy (PSDT) mediated combination therapy to induce systemic antitumor immune responses. We effectively built a new nanoparticle system, a multifunctional nanoagent that integrated the ability of dual-model imaging and therapy for tumors. In this study, we confirmed that OLI_NPs can act as a multifunctional platform that enables not only to diagnose tumors conveniently but also to efficiently provide treatment of in situ tumors, permitting simultaneous dual-mode imaging and localization of the therapy in combination with PSDT-mediated drug release. Furthermore, our combined strategy could effectively depress the tumor development and extend mouse life by the combination of inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) with encapsulated LPS. In conclusion, combining therapy of OLI_NPs plus PSDT can induce anti-tumor immune responses and tumor antigen-specific immunity in a common TC-1 graft tumor model. Therefore, this combination therapy is a viable technique for cervical cancer treatment.

Abstract
In vivo fluorescent imaging by using the new contrast agents emitted at short-wavelength infrared region (NIR II, 1000–1700 nm) presents an unprecedent advantages in imaging sensitivity and spatial resolution over traditional near-infrared (NIR) light. Recently, Nd-based rare-earth nanocrystals have attracted considerable attention due to the high quantum yield (∼40%) of their emission at NIR II. However, undesirable capture by reticuloendothelial system to bring strong background signal is unsatisfying for tumor discrimination. Here, GSH-sensitive tetrasulfide bond incorporated mesoporous silica shell has entrusted onto Nd-based down-conversion nanocrystals (DCNPs) surface to totally quench the fluorescence of DCNPs. After RGD conjugation on the silica surface, the NIR II contrast agents could actively target to liver tumors. Then tetrasulfide bonds can be broken during the silica framework decomposing in cytoplasm under high GSH concentration to result in NIR II fluorescence explosive recover. Benefiting from this specific response under tumor microenvironment, the NIR II signal in other organs was markedly reduced, while the signal-to-background ratio is prominently enhanced in tumors. Then, solid liver tumors were successfully resected under the guidance of our GSH responsive NIR II fluorescent imaging with no recurrence after 20-day of surgery. Meanwhile, by combining with the ignorable side effects, the Nd-based nanoprobes vastly improved the imaging resolution of tumor margin, opening a paradigm of NIR II fluorescent imaging-guided surgery.

Photothermal Nanozymatic Nanoparticles Induce Ferroptosis and Apoptosis through Tumor Microenvironment Manipulation for Cancer Therapy. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2202161. [PMID: 36089650 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202202161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
It is highly desirable to design a single modality that can simultaneously trigger apoptosis and ferroptosis to efficiently eliminate tumor progression. Herein, a nanosystem based on the intrinsic properties of tumor microenvironment (TME) is designed to achieve tumor control through the simultaneous induction of ferroptosis and apoptosis. CuCP molecules are encapsulated in a liposome-based nanosystem to assemble into biocompatible and stable CuCP nanoparticles (CuCP Lipo NPs). This nanosystem intrinsically possesses nanozymatic activity and photothermal characteristics due to the property of Cu atoms and the structure of CuCP Lipo NPs. It is demonstrated that the synergistic strategy increases the intracellular lipid-reactive oxides species, induces the occurrence of ferroptosis and apoptosis, and completely eradicates the tumors in vivo. Proteomics analysis further discloses the key involved proteins (including Tp53, HMOX1, Ptgs2, Tfrc, Slc11a2, Mgst2, Sod1, and several GST family members) and pathways (including apoptosis, ferroptosis, and ROS synthesis). Conclusively, this work develops a strategy based on one nanosystem to synergistically induce ferroptosis and apoptosis in vivo for tumor suppression, which holds great potential in the clinical translation for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Charge-transfer assemblies (CTAs) represent a new class of functional material due to their excellent optical properties, and show great promise in the biomedical field. Porphyrins are widely used photosensitizers, but the short absorption wavelengths may restrict their practical applications. To obtain porphyrin phototherapeutic agents with red-shifted absorption, charge-transfer nanoscale assemblies (TAPP-TCNQ NPs) of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin (TAPP) and 7,7,8,8‑tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) were prepared via optimizing the stoichiometric ratios of donor-acceptor. The as-prepared TAPP-TCNQ NPs exhibit red-shifted absorption to the near-infrared (NIR) region and enhanced absorbance because of the charge-transfer interactions. In especial, TAPP-TCNQ NPs possess the capacity of both photodynamic and photothermal therapy, thus effectively killing the bacteria upon 808 nm laser irradiation. This modular assembly method provides an alternative strategy to enhance the application of the phototherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Recently, indocyanine green (ICG), as an FDA-approved dye, has been widely used for phototherapy. It is essential to obtain information on the migration and aggregation of ICG in deep tissues. However, existing fluorescence imaging platforms are not able to obtain the structural information of the tissues. Here, we prepared ICG liposomes (ICG-Lips) and built a dual-wavelength photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) system with piezoelectric ring-array transducer to image the aggregation of ICG-Lips in tumors to guide phototherapy. Visible 780 nm light excited the photoacoustic (PA) effects of the ICG-Lips and near-infrared 1064 nm light provided the imaging of the surrounding tissues. The aggregation of ICG-Lips within the tumor and the surrounding tissues was visualized by PACT in real time. This work indicates that PACT with piezoelectric ring-array transducer has great potential in the real-time monitoring of in vivo drug distribution.

Abstract
Localized drug delivery systems (LDDS) have gained great interests because they can directly treat the tumors and minimize systematic toxicity, and maximize drug action by controlling release precisely at the tumor site. However, the resistance of the non-specific adsorption of biomolecules is also important to alleviate the inflammatory reactions and avoid the decrease in performance of LDDS. In this study, we develop a near infrared (NIR) light-triggered nanofibrous delivery system consisting of zwitterionic poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PMPC-b-PCL) encapsulated with indocyanine green (ICG) and doxorubicin (DOX) for dual photothermal therapy and chemotherapy. The nanofibrous mat shows hydrophilic characteristics and good antifouling performance. Under mild NIR irradiation, ICG could convert NIR light into thermal energy that elevates the surrounding temperature above 45 °C. This thermal energy also markedly accelerates the DOX release from the nanofibrous mat due to softening of the nanofibers, indicating the drug release could be controlled and switched on/off by light-triggering. Moreover, this light-triggered thermal energy and releasing behavior contribute to enhancing the cell lethality. Intracellular DOX distribution confirms the more drugs release upon light irradiation. All results demonstrate the developed light-triggered drug release nanofibers as LDDS are biocompatible and antifouling as well as has the superior combinational chemotherapy/photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Simple Summary Photothermal therapy (PTT) has become effective through the development of nanoparticle-based photoabsorbers with various functions, such as targeting properties, high light-to-heat conversion, and photostability. Conventional nanoparticle-mediated PTT has attained localized efficiency in cancer treatment by heat-induced apoptosis or necrosis of cancer cells. Currently, such treatment methods evolve into cancer immunotherapy through the induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD). Damage-associated molecular patterns from dead cells by nanoparticle-mediated PTT activate immune cells for systemic anti-cancer effect. In this review, we investigate various nanoparticle-based PTT and compare its methodology to clarify how it undergoes a transition from thermotherapy to immunotherapy. Abstract One of the promising cancer treatment methods is photothermal therapy (PTT), which has achieved good therapeutic efficiency through nanoparticle-based photoabsorbers. Because of the various functions of nanoparticles, such as targeting properties, high light-to-heat conversion, and photostability, nanoparticle-mediated PTT successfully induces photothermal damage in tumor tissues with minimal side effects on surrounding healthy tissues. The therapeutic efficacy of PTT originates from cell membrane disruption, protein denaturation, and DNA damage by light-induced heat, but these biological impacts only influence localized tumor areas. This conventional nanoparticle-mediated PTT still attracts attention as a novel cancer immunotherapy, because PTT causes immune responses against cancer. PTT-induced immunogenic cell death activates immune cells for systemic anti-cancer effect. Additionally, the excellent compatibility of PTT with other treatment methods (e.g., chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy) reinforces the therapeutic efficacy of PTT as combined immunotherapy. In this review, we investigate various PTT agents of nanoparticles and compare their applications to reveal how nanoparticle-mediated PTT undergoes a transition from thermotherapy to immunotherapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is a conventional treatment method for metastatic bone cancer, but it has limitations, such as lower drug-targeting of bone tissues and serious side effects. Bone metastasis almost always occurs in advanced cancer, and most patients in this period have strong drug resistance, which further worsens the curative effect. To address the above-mentioned difficulties, a drug delivery platform is proposed in this paper that accomplishes the bone-targeting of drugs to efficiently inhibit tumors. First, the anti-cancer drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) and indocyanine green (ICG) were loaded into a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-90) to form 5-Fu/ICG@ZIF-90. Polyethylene glycol with zoledronic acid (ZOL) was encapsulated using 5-Fu/ICG@ZIF-90 to synthesize 5-Fu/ICG@ZIF-90-PEG-ZOL nanoparticles, which showed dimensional stability, good thermal stability, and bone-targeting ability. Second, the in vitro anti-cancer activity of the designed platform was investigated using cytotoxicity, apoptosis, live-dead staining, cell cycle, and cell ultrathin section analysis. The results indicated that the nanoparticles inhibited MCF-7 cell activity when chemotherapy was combined with PTT. Finally, H&E staining and TUNEL detection were performed in mouse organs and tumors. The nanoparticles combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) and triggered by near-infrared irradiation induce apoptosis of tumor cells in vivo, displaying a better efficacy of combined chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. Experiments conducted on the 5-Fu/ICG@ZIF-90-PEG-ZOL nanoparticles demonstrated their promising performance for cancer bone metastasis inhibition.

Abstract
A large fraction of energy, including solar energy, is dissipated into ambient atmosphere as low-grade waste heat. Efficient utilization of such energy is critical to address the current energy crisis and global warming issue. Herein, the efficient near-IR (NIR)-photothermal, thermoelectric, and thus photo-thermo-electric conversion of polyoxovanadate compound {[Ni(1,10-phenanthroline)3 ][V14 O34 Cl]Cl, NiV14 } in ionic liquid was achieved. The solution displayed a NIR-photothermal efficiency of 16.04 and 23.43 % at 808 and 1064 nm, respectively. Taking advantage of the synergetic thermodiffusive and thermogalvanic effects of various ion species in NiV14 solution, an open circuit voltage of approximately 0.45 V was obtained at ΔT=70 K generated by physical heating or NIR irradiation, indicating a large Seebeck coefficient of 6.38 mV K-1 and an optimized thermal power at 1.2 W m-2 . The polyoxovanadate-ionic liquid system offers a new platform for efficiently utilizing not only low-grade thermal energy but also solar energy for electricity generation.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), the main components of infiltrating leukocytes in tumors, often play a key role in promoting cancer development and progression. The tumor-specific microenvironment forces the phenotype of tumor-infiltrating to evolve in a direction favorable to tumor development, that is, the generation of M2-like TAMs. Consequently, the dual intervention of cancer cells and tumor microenvironment has become a research hotspot in the field of tumor immunotherapy. In this contribution, we developed pH-sensitive mesoporous calcium silicate nanocomposites (MCNs) encapsulated with indocyanine green (ICG) to enable the effective combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) triggered by the 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light. The mannose and hyaluronic acid-grafted MCNs specifically targeted TAMs and tumor cells and promoted cell apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. This paper revealed that irradiation of ICG loaded MCNs with NIR can produce a potent hyperthermia and induce abundant intracellular singlet oxygen generation in the target cells. These results suggest that the novel nanoplatform is believed to facilitate the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the tumor microenvironment (TME) to enhance the effects of tumor treatment.

Abstract
The development of photothermal agents with high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) can help to reduce drug and laser dosage, but still remains a big challenge. Herein, a novel approach is reported to design photothermal agents with high PCE values by promoting nonradiative heat generation processes through the cooperation of twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) and molecular motions. Within the designed molecule 2DMTT-BBTD, the tetraphenylethenes act as molecular rotors, the long alkyl chain grafted thiophene helps to twist the molecular geometry to facilitate TICT state formation and preserve molecular motions in aggregate, while the strong electron-withdrawing BBTD unit enhances TICT effect. 2DMTT-BBTD exhibits NIR-absorption and a high PCE value of 74.8% under 808 nm laser irradiation. Gambogic acid (GA) which surmounts tumor cell thermotolerance by inhibiting heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) expression is coloaded into the nanoparticles, RGD peptide is further introduced to the nanoparticle surface to improve tumor accumulation. The resultant nanoparticles facilitate the effective low-temperature hyperthermia therapy of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) with minimal damage to surrounding heathy tissues. This work delivers a new design concept for development of highly efficient photothermal agents, which also provides a safer approach for noninvasive treatment of MIBC and other malignant tumors.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
The photothermal properties of nanoparticles (NPs), that is, their ability to convert absorbed light into heat, have been studied since the end of the last century, mainly on gold NPs. In the new millennium, these studies have developed into a burst of research dedicated to the photothermal ablation of tumors. However, beside this strictly medical theme, research has also flourished in the connected areas of photothermal antibacterial surface coatings, gels and polymers, of photothermal surfaces for cell stimulation, as well as in purely technological areas that do not involve medical biotechnology. These include the direct conversion of solar light into heat, a more efficient sun-powered generation of steam and the use of inkjet-printed patterns of photothermal NPs for anticounterfeit printing based on temperature reading, to cite but a few. After an analysis of the photothermal effect (PTE) and its mechanism, this minireview briefly considers the antitumor-therapy theme and takes an in-depth look at all the other technological and biomedical applications of the PTE, paying particular attention to photothermal materials whose NPs have joined those based on Au.

Abstract
Since the conceptualization of nanomedicine, numerous nanostructure-mediated drug formulations have progressed into clinical trials for treating cancer. However, recent clinical trial results indicate such kind of drug formulations has a limited improvement on the antitumor efficacy. This is due to the biological barriers associated with those formulations, for example, circulation stability, extravasation efficiency in tumor, tumor penetration ability, and developed multi-drug resistance. When employing for nanomedicine formulations, pristine organic-based and inorganic-based nanostructures have their own limitations. Accordingly, organic/inorganic (O/I) hybrids have been developed to integrate the merits of both, and to minimize their intrinsic drawbacks. In this context, the recent development in O/I hybrids resulting from a self-assembly strategy will be introduced. Through such a strategy, organic and inorganic building blocks can be self-assembled via either chemical covalent bonds or physical interactions. Based on the self-assemble procedure, the hybridization of four organic building blocks including liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and polymeric nanocapsules with five functional inorganic nanoparticles comprising gold nanostructures, magnetic nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, quantum dots, and silica nanoparticles will be highlighted. The recent progress of these O/I hybrids in advanced modalities for combating cancer, such as, therapeutic agent delivery, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy will be systematically reviewed.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is one of the major limitations of glioblastoma therapy in the clinic. Nanodrugs have shown great potential for glioblastoma therapy. Herein, we purposefully developed a multicomponent self-assembly nanocomplex with very high drug loading content for curing orthotopic glioblastoma with synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy. The nanocomplex consisted of self-assembled pH-responsive nanodrugs derived from amino acid-conjugated camptothecin (CPT) and canine dyes (IR783) coated with peptide Angiopep-2-conjugated copolymer of Ang-PEG-g-PLL. Specifically, the carrier-free nanocomplex exhibited a high drug loading content (up to 62%), good biocompatibility, and effective glioma accumulation ability. Moreover, the nanocomplex displayed good stability and pH-responsive behavior ex vivo. Both in vitro and in vivo results revealed that the nanocomplex could effectively cross the BBB and target glioma cells. Furthermore, the combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy of the nanocomplex achieved a better therapeutic effect, longer survival time, and minimized toxic side effects in orthotopic glioblastoma tumor-bearing nude mice. Overall, we modified the chemotherapeutic drug CPT so that it could self-assemble with other molecules into nanoparticles, which providing an alternative for the preparation of the carrier-free nanodrugs. The results highlighted the potential of self-assembly nanodrugs as a novel platform for effective glioblastoma therapy.

Abstract
Organic self-assembled co-crystals have garnered considerable attention due to their facile synthesis and intriguing properties, but supramolecular interactions restrict their stability in aqueous solution, which is especially important for biological applications. Herein, we report on the first biological application of aqueous dispersible self-assembled organic co-crystals via the construction of metal-organic framework (MOF) -stabilized co-crystals. In particular, we built an electron-deficient MOF with naphthalene diimide (NDI) as the ligand and biocompatible Ca2+ as the metal nodes. An electron donor molecule, pyrene, was encapsulated to form the host-guest MOF self-assembled co-crystal. We observed that such MOF structure leads to uniquely high-density ordered arrangement and the close intermolecular distance (3.47 Å) of the charge transfer pairs. Hence, the concomitant superior charge transfer interaction between pyrene/NDI can be attained and the resultant photothermal conversion efficiency of Py@Ca-NDI in aqueous solution can thus reach up to 41.8 %, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest value among the reported organic co-crystal materials; it is also much higher than that of the FDA approved photothermal agent ICG as well as most of the reported MOFs. Based on this realization, as a proof of concept, we demonstrated that such a self-assembled organic co-crystal platform can be used in biological applications that are exemplified via highly effective long wavelength light photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have shown potential in cancer therapy, while a single administration conferring a satisfactory outcome is still unavailable. To address this issue, the dissolving microneedles (DMNs) were developed to locally deliver functionalized NPs with combined chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT). α-Tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)/hyaluronic acid (HA) dual-functionalized PLGA NPs (HD10 NPs) were fabricated to co-load paclitaxel and indocyanine green. HD10 NPs significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of low-dose paclitaxel because of active and mitochondrial targeting by HA and TPGS, respectively. PTT could further sensitize tumor cells toward chemotherapy by promoting apoptosis into the advanced period, highly activating caspase 3 enzyme, and significantly reducing the expression of survivin and MMP-9 proteins. Further, the anti-tumor effects of HD10 NPs delivered through different administration routes were conducted on the 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. After a single administration, HD10 NPs delivered with DMNs showed the best anti-tumor effect when giving chemotherapy alone. As expected, the anti-tumor effect was profoundly enhanced after combined therapy, and complete tumor ablation was achieved in the mice treated with DMNs and intra-tumor injection. Moreover, DMNs showed better safety due to moderate hyperthermia. Therefore, the DMNs along with combined chemo-photothermal therapy provide a viable treatment option for superficial tumors.

Abstract
Some infectious or malignant diseases such as cancers are seriously threatening the health of human beings all over the world. The commonly used antibiotic therapy cannot effectively treat these diseases within a short time, and also bring about adverse effects such as drug resistance and immune system damage during long-term systemic treatment. Phototherapy is an emerging antibiotic-free strategy to treat these diseases. Upon light irradiation, phototherapeutic agents can generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) or induce a temperature increase, which leads to the death of targeted cells. These two kinds of killing strategies are referred to as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), respectively. So far, many photo-responsive agents have been developed. Among them, the metal-organic framework (MOF) is becoming one of the most promising photo-responsive materials because its structure and chemical compositions can be easily modulated to achieve specific functions. MOFs can have intrinsic photodynamic or photothermal ability under the rational design of MOF construction, or serve as the carrier of therapeutic agents, owing to its tunable porosity. MOFs also provide feasibility for various combined therapies and targeting methods, which improves the efficiency of phototherapy. In this review, we firstly investigated the principles of phototherapy, and comprehensively summarized recent advances of MOF in PDT, PTT and synergistic therapy, from construction to modification. We expect that our demonstration will shed light on the future development of this field, and bring it one step closer to clinical trials.

Moreover, for tumor combination therapy, smart responsive and well-designed nanocarriers are highlighted to co-deliver different therapeutics, enhance drug delivery into target sites, and realize stimuli-responsive drug release. Herein, oxygen- and bubble-generating polymersomes (FIMPs) were developed for tumor-targeted and enhanced photothermal-photodynamic combination therapy. FIMPs efficiently co-encapsulated manganese dioxide (MnO2) and the hydrophobic photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) within the hydrophobic membrane as well as the bubble-generating reagent NH4HCO3 in the internal cavity of the vesicles, and achieved pH/temperature/reduction multiple responsiveness. The CO2 bubbles generated from the decomposition of NH4HCO3via laser irradiation or acidic environment and the cleavage of the copolymer disulfide bond in the reducing TME would destroy the vesicle structure for triggering drug release. In addition, oxygen can be produced to overcome tumor hypoxia through the high reaction activity of MnO2 with endogenous H2O2. In vitro studies have shown that FIMPs achieved good photothermal conversion efficiency, promoted the generation of oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and thus effectively killed tumor cells. In vivo studies indicated that FIMPs effectively overcome the hypoxic microenvironment within tumors and significantly inhibit tumor growth with good biocompatibility. The rationally designed oxygen- and bubble-generating polymersomes have great potential to overcome the tumor hypoxia limitations for enhancing the photothermal-photodynamic combination therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a significant characteristic of tumors, which causes aggressive tumor growth and strong therapy resistance. Inspired by the improved therapeutic efficacy of synergistic treatment, herein, an all-in-one polymeric therapeutic agent was developed, which could overcome tumor hypoxia through multiple pathways. Multiple therapeutic agents were incorporated into the polymer, including the singlet oxygen (1O2) carrier unit to store cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, the photosensitized and photothermal unit to trigger the capture and release of 1O2, and the hypoxia-responsive prodrug unit to maintain a long-term tumor inhibition. In addition, the hydrophilic polyethylene glycol unit was also introduced to improve water-solubility and biocompatibility. Importantly, this study achieved the capture and controllable release of 1O2 just by regulating the power of an 808 nm laser for the first time, which is more convenient and flexible than previous works. As expected, the as-prepared copolymer displayed reduced oxygen dependence, accompanied with promising synergistic anti-tumor and anti-recurrence efficacies under hypoxic in vitro and in vivo environments. Consequently, this synergistic anti-hypoxia strategy may open up new avenues in the design of all-in-one therapeutic platforms for promoting the development of accurate, efficient, and long-acting treatment in clinical studies.

Abstract
The lack of cytopathologists delays the advancement of screening for endometrial cancer. It was urgent to develop a new dye for rapid diagnosis. Our study aimed to synthesize a targeted folate receptor-α near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent agent, folic acid-zwitterionic NIR fluorophore (ZW-FA), and explore the feasibility for screening of endometrial cancer and precancerous change. Folic acid was conjugated with zwitterionic NIR fluorophore. The preparation of ZW-FA was validated by 1H NMR, mass spectrometric, ultraviolet spectra and fluorescence spectra. ZW-FA was incubated with endometrial cytology samples obtained from patients who underwent dilation and curettage or total hysterectomy. Diagnostic utility was calculated by applying laser confocal microscope, Image-J and statistical models, such as enumeration, receiver operating characteristic curve, logistic regression, support vector machine and decision tree were used. The purity of ZW-FA was > 95% determined by 1H NMR. ZW-FA had the strongest absorption peak at 633 nm in ultraviolet spectra. Photostability of ZW-FA was over 8 hours. In clinical validation, a total of 92 patients were enrolled. The cut-off value of ZW-FA was 49 in enumeration, which was used to distinguish the type of samples. Indicators about diagnostic utility are as follows: sensitivity 90.77%, specificity 62.96%, false-positive rate 37.04%, false-negative rate 9.23%, positive predictive value 85.51% and negative predictive value 73.91%. The samples processed by ZW-FA did not affect further Hematoxylin-Eosin staining and pathological diagnosis. It was an effective cytologic strategy for in vitro diagnosis of endometrial cancer and precancerous change by using ZW-FA.

Abstract
Phototherapeutic approaches, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), have become a promising strategy to combat microbial pathogens and tackle the crisis brought about by antibiotic-resistant strains. Herein, porous gold nanoparticles (AuPNs) were synthesized as photothermal agents and loaded with indocyanine green (ICG), a common photosensitizer for PDT, to fabricate a nanosystem presenting near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered synchronous PTT and PDT effects. The AuPNs can not only convert NIR light into heat with a high photothermal conversion efficiency (50.6-68.5%), but also provide a porous structure to facilely load ICG molecules. The adsorption of ICG onto AuPNs was mainly driven by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with the surfactant layer of AuPNs, and the aggregate state of ICG significantly enhanced its generation of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, taking advantage of its synergistic PTT and PDT effect, the hybrid nanocomposites displayed a remarkable antibacterial effect to the gram-positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) upon 808 nm laser irradiation.

Abstract
The race is on for therapeutic agents that stop cancer. An effective vaccine offers a safe and promising approach for cancer immunotherapy. However, substantial barriers to immunotherapy in cancer vaccines include the low immunogenicity of cancer antigens and the immunosuppression commonly present in solid tumors, resulting in significant challenges for developing a clinically effective cancer vaccine. Here, the state of the art of synergistic therapy, which includes the photothermal effect combined with immunotherapy, was investigated to target tumors. For the first time, indocyanine green (ICG, referred to as I), imiquimod (R837, referred to as R) and a foreign cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen peptide (CTL-Ap, referred to as Ap) with the sequence of SIINFEKL from ovalbumin (OVA) were encapsulated by acetalated dextran (AcDEX) to form nanoparticles (NPs) averaging 92 nm in diameter as an immunogen. Administration of the resulting multifunctional vaccine I-R-Ap-AcDEX NPs enhanced antitumor cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immunotherapy. On the one hand, subcutaneous immunization of the NPs allows foreign Ap to enter the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) cross-presentation pathway of antigen-presenting cells, thereby presenting Ap and eliciting high levels of Ap-specific CTLs. On the other hand, intratumor/intravenous injections of the NPs allow foreign Ap to enter tumor cells and present Ap through the MHC-I cross-presentation pathway. Ap-specific CTLs can kill Ap-presented tumor cells. Furthermore, the NPs generated near-infrared laser triggered the photothermal killing of tumor cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report of AcDEX NPs in antitumor photothermal therapy. Strikingly, systemic administration of the I-R-Ap-AcDEX NPs combined with near-infrared laser irradiation allowed for complete protection to mice from the tumors when applied to two non-OVA tumor models. This quite impressive result displays the great promise of synergistic therapy by the vaccine I-R-Ap-AcDEX NPs, an approach that harnesses the photothermal effect to boost antitumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
With the gradual deep understanding of the tumorigenesis and development process, nanodrug are thought to have great prospects for individualized treatment of tumors. To deliver adequate concentration of active ingredients to targeted tissues, proteins are usually used as carriers to avoid clearance by the immune system. Herein, a new strategy is developed for preparation of the protein-functionalized targeting nanodrugs; different kinds of proteins (albumin, horseradish, transferrin, and ricin) can be quickly loaded in polyacrylic acid nanohydrogels (PAA-NGs) without discrimination within 1 min under the strong driving force of entropy; and the loading efficiency can reach 99% with about 50% loading content. Meanwhile, the activity of the released protein can be well retained. After oriented binding of the targeting agent on the surface of the nanocarriers by a unique and facile technique, the protein-loaded nanodrug exhibits excellent tumor cell uptake and targeting effect. The excellent targeting ability from the oriented binding is further proved by comparing with the non-oriented targeting system. With quick loading of the anti-tumor protein of ricin and oriented binding of transferrin protein (Tf), the targeting nanodrug (PAA-BB@Ricin/Tf) shows a remarkable anti-tumor effect. This study proves a new universal delivery and targeting strategy for improving the nanodelivery system, which has great potentials for clinical application.

Abstract
Brain cancer effected around estimated 23 890 adults and 3540 children under the age of 15 in 2020. The chemotherapeutic agents that are already approved by the FDA for brain cancer are proving to be not highly effective because of the interference from the tumor microenvironment as well as their own toxicities. Added to this is the impedance presented by the extremely restrictive permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB). Targeted nanoparticulate drug delivery systems offer a good opportunity to traverse the BBB and selectively target the tumor cells. Folate receptors are found to be one of the most useful targets for drug delivery to the brain. Hence, this Mini-Review discusses the folate receptors and their application in the treatment of brain cancers using targeted nanoparticles.
