Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapy that has made significant progress in treating different diseases, including cancer, by utilizing new nanotechnology products such as graphene and its derivatives. Graphene-based materials have large surface area and photothermal effects thereby making them suitable candidates for PDT or photo-active drug carriers. The remarkable photophysical properties of graphene derivates facilitate the efficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon light irradiation, which destroys cancer cells. Surface functionalization of graphene and its materials can also enhance their biocompatibility and anticancer activity. The paper delves into the distinct roles played by graphene-based materials in PDT such as photosensitizers (PS) and drug carriers while at the same time considers how these materials could be used to circumvent cancer resistance. This will provide readers with an extensive discussion of various pathways contributing to PDT inefficiency. Consequently, this comprehensive review underscores the vital roles that graphene and its derivatives may play in emerging PDT strategies for cancer treatment and other medical purposes. With a better comprehension of the current state of research and the existing challenges, the integration of graphene-based materials in PDT holds great promise for developing targeted, effective, and personalized cancer treatments.

Abstract
Nanocarbons are emerging at the forefront of nanoscience, with diverse carbon nanoforms emerging over the past two decades. Early cancer diagnosis and therapy, driven by advanced chemistry techniques, play a pivotal role in mitigating mortality rates associated with cancer. Nanocarbons, with an attractive combination of well-defined architectures, biocompatibility, and nanoscale dimension, offer an incredibly versatile platform for cancer imaging and therapy. This paper aims to review the underlying principles regarding the controllable synthesis, fluorescence origins, cellular toxicity, and surface functionalization routes of several classes of nanocarbons: carbon nanodots, nanodiamonds, carbon nanoonions, and carbon nanohorns. This review also highlights recent breakthroughs regarding the green synthesis of different nanocarbons from renewable sources. It also presents a comprehensive and unified overview of the latest cancer-related applications of nanocarbons and how they can be designed to interface with biological systems and work as cancer diagnostics and therapeutic tools. The commercial status for large-scale manufacturing of nanocarbons is also presented. Finally, it proposes future research opportunities aimed at engendering modifiable and high-performance nanocarbons for emerging applications across medical industries. This work is envisioned as a cornerstone to guide interdisciplinary teams in crafting fluorescent nanocarbons with tailored attributes that can revolutionize cancer diagnostics and therapy.

Abstract
This review discusses the possible methods for improving therapeutic efficacies of phthalocyanine (Pcs) -based therapeutic probes in photo- and sono-dynamic therapies under hypoxic conditions. Herein, the structural design strategies including varying the central metal, position substituents and the effects of adjuvant used in supplementing the therapeutics activities of Pcs or formation of NPs are discussed for cancer therapies in hypoxic conditions. Different mechanisms induced for cell death influenced by the compositions of the Pcs-probes are discussed. The focus mainly highlights the oxygen (O2) -dependent mechanisms including methods of supplementing tumour microenvironment O2-concentrations to promote PDT or SDT therapies. Alternatively, O2-independent mechanisms mainly used to evade hypoxia by stimulating anticancer processes that don't require O2 to initiate cell death, such as the Fenton reaction or thermal ablation effects.

Abstract
Prussian blue nanozymes (PBNs) with multiple enzyme activities are prepared and their activities of antitumor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (CEN2) are also explored in this research. On the one hand, it shows that PBNs can exert the catalase-like (CAT-like) activity to decompose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into non-toxic H2O in CEN2 cells. The O2 release of H2O2 catalysed by PBNs effectively alleviates the hypoxic environment of tumors, which inhibits the glycolysis of tumor and reduces the production of lactic acid. On the other hand, we also find that PBNs also has peroxidase-like (POD-like) enzymatic activity, which can catalyze the production of·OH from H2O2 in tumor cells and result in tumor cell apoptosis. This study lays a solid biomedical foundation for the development of safe and non-toxic nanozymes, as well as the expansion of their application in tumor treatment.

J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:476. [PMID: 38082443 PMCID: PMC10712197 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-02240-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The present work was an endeavor to shed light on how mild photothermia possibly synergizes with immune checkpoint inhibition for tumor therapy. We established mild photothermal heating protocols to generate temperatures of 43 °C and 45 °C in both in vitro and in vivo mouse 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models using polyglycerol-coated carbon nanohorns (CNH-PG) and 808 nm laser irradiation. Next, we found that 1) CNH-PG-mediated mild photothermia (CNH-PG-mPT) significantly increased expression of the immune checkpoint PD-L1 and type-1 macrophage (M1) markers in the TNBC tumors; 2) CNH-PG-mPT had a lower level of anti-tumor efficacy which was markedly potentiated by BMS-1, a PD-L1 blocker. These observations prompted us to explore the synergetic mechanisms of CNH-PG-mPT and BMS-1 in the context of tumor cell-macrophage interactions mediated by PD-L1 since tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a major source of PD-L1 expression in tumors. In vitro, the study then identified two dimensions where BMS-1 potentiated CNH-PG-mPT. First, CNH-PG-mPT induced PD-L1 upregulation in the tumor cells and showed a low level of cytotoxicity which was potentiated by BMS-1. Second, CNH-PG-mPT skewed TAMs towards an M1-like anti-tumor phenotype with upregulated PD-L1, and BMS-1 bolstered the M1-like phenotype. The synergistic effects of BMS-1 and CNH-PG-mPT both on the tumor cells and TAMs were more pronounced when the two cell populations were in co-culture. Further in vivo study confirmed PD-L1 upregulation both in tumor cells and TAMs in the TNBC tumors following treatment of CNH-PG-mPT. Significantly, TAMs depletion largely abolished the anti-TNBC efficacy of CNH-PG-mPT alone and in synergy with BMS-1. Collectively, our findings reveal PD-L1 upregulation to be a key response of TNBC to mild photothermal stress, which plays a pro-survival role in the tumor cells while also acting as a brake on the M1-like activation of the TAMs. Blockade of mPT‑induced PD‑L1 achieves synergistic anti-TNBC efficacy by taking the intrinsic survival edge off the tumor cells on one hand and taking the brakes off the M1-like TAMs on the other. Our findings reveal a novel way (i.e. mild thermia plus PD-L1 blockade) to modulate the TAMs-tumor cell interaction to instigate a mutiny of the TAMs against their host tumor cells.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) organic small molecule dyes (OSMDs) are effective photothermal agents for photothermal therapy (PTT) due to their advantages of low cost and toxicity, good biodegradation, and strong NIR absorption over a wide wavelength range. Nevertheless, OSMDs have limited applicability in PTT due to their low photothermal conversion efficiency and inadequate destruction of tumor regions that are nonirradiated by NIR light. However, they can also act as photosensitizers (PSs) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can be further eradicated by using ROS-related therapies to address the above limitations of PTT. In this review, the synergistic mechanism, composition, and properties of photodynamic therapy (PDT)-PTT nanoplatforms were comprehensively discussed. In addition, some specific strategies for further improving the combined PTT and PDT based on OSMDs for cancer to completely eradicate cancer cells were outlined. These strategies include performing image-guided co-therapy, enhancing tumor infiltration, increasing H2O2 or O2 in the tumor microenvironment, and loading anticancer drugs onto nanoplatforms to enable combined therapy with phototherapy and chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the intriguing prospects and challenges of this treatment modality were also summarized with a focus on the future trends of its clinical application.

Abstract
A suspension of single-walled carbon nanohorn (SWCNH) aggregates with a size of approx. 50 nm was used to create a floating film at the water-air interface. The film was then transferred onto large-area quartz substrates using the Langmuir-Schaefer technique at varied surface pressures. The packaging and arrangement of SWCNHs in the film can be controlled during the process. The resulting films' optical and electrical properties were investigated, and the highest electrical conductivity and figure of merit parameter values were observed for the film transferred at surface pressure near the collapse point. These films had a surface density of less than 5 μg cm-2, making them ideal for use in ultra-light sensors, supercapacitors, and photovoltaic cell electrodes. The preparation and properties of the Langmuir-Schaefer films of carbon nanohorns are reported for the first time.

Abstract
Carbonaceous nanomaterials (CNMs) have drawn tremendous biomedical research interest because of their unique structural features. Recently, CNMs, namely carbon dots, fullerenes, graphene, etc, have been successful in establishing them as considerable nanotherapeutics for phototherapy applications due to their electrical, thermal, and surface properties. This review aims to crosstalk the current understanding of CNMs as multimodal compounds in photothermal and photodynamic therapies as an integrated approach to treating cancer. It also expounds on phototherapy's biomechanics and illustrates its relation to cancer biomodulation. Critical considerations related to the structural properties, fabrication approaches, surface functionalization strategies, and biosafety profiles of CNMs have been explained. This article provides an overview of the most recent developments in the study of CNMs used in phototherapy, emphasizing their usage as nanocarriers. To conquer the current challenges of CNMs, we can raise the standard of cancer therapy for patients. The review will be of interest to the researchers working in the area of photothermal and photodynamic therapies and aiming to explore CNMs and their conjugates in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Poor tumor selectivity, low stability and quenched fluorescence are the main challenges to be overcome for nanomedicine, and are mainly caused by the dissociation of the nanostructure and aggregation of chromophores in the biological environment. Herein, covalently connected nanoparticles RGD-graphene-phthalocyanine (RGD-GO-SiPc) were constructed based on RGD peptide, silicon phthalocyanine (SiPc) and graphene oxide (GO) via a conjugation reaction for fluorescence imaging-guided cancer-targeted combinatorial phototherapy. The prepared RGD-GO-SiPc exhibited supreme biological stability, high-contrast fluorescence imaging, significantly enhanced NIR absorption, high photothermal conversion efficiency (25.6%), greatly improved cancer-targeting capability, and synergistic photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) efficacy along with low toxicity. Both in vitro and in vivo biological studies showed that RGD-GO-SiPc is a kind of promising multifunctional nanomedicine for fluorescence imaging-guided combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy with dual active/passive tumor-targeting properties.

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
Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) have received tremendous interest in the area of nanotechnology due to their unique properties and flexible dimensional structure. CNMs have excellent electrical, thermal, and optical properties that make them promising materials for drug delivery, bioimaging, biosensing, and tissue engineering applications. Currently, there are many types of CNMs, such as quantum dots, nanotubes, nanosheets, and nanoribbons; and there are many others in development that promise exciting applications in the future. The surface functionalization of CNMs modifies their chemical and physical properties, which enhances their drug loading/release capacity, their ability to target drug delivery to specific sites, and their dispersibility and suitability in biological systems. Thus, CNMs have been effectively used in different biomedical systems. This review explores the unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that allow CNMs to improve on the state of the art materials currently used in different biomedical applications. The discussion also embraces the emerging biomedical applications of CNMs, including targeted drug delivery, medical implants, tissue engineering, wound healing, biosensing, bioimaging, vaccination, and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease with complex pathological process. Current chemotherapy faces problems such as lack of specificity, cytotoxicity, induction of multi-drug resistance and stem-like cells growth. Nanomaterials are materials in the nanorange 1–100 nm which possess unique optical, magnetic, and electrical properties. Nanomaterials used in cancer therapy can be classified into several main categories. Targeting cancer cells, tumor microenvironment, and immune system, these nanomaterials have been modified for a wide range of cancer therapies to overcome toxicity and lack of specificity, enhance drug capacity as well as bioavailability. Although the number of studies has been increasing, the number of approved nano-drugs has not increased much over the years. To better improve clinical translation, further research is needed for targeted drug delivery by nano-carriers to reduce toxicity, enhance permeability and retention effects, and minimize the shielding effect of protein corona. This review summarizes novel nanomaterials fabricated in research and clinical use, discusses current limitations and obstacles that hinder the translation from research to clinical use, and provides suggestions for more efficient adoption of nanomaterials in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapy has gained great attention in the past decade owing to the advantages of high selectivity and low toxicity. However, it's still a challenge to develop a single photosensitizer that can achieve both photothermal and photodynamic effects. Herein, we design and synthesize a new organic compound (PIT) with a typical D-A-D structure through the covalent conjugation of perylene diimides (PDI) and triphenylamine (TPA). The amphiphilic PIT could be transformed to the nanoparticles (PIT NPs) through nanoprecipitation method. PIT NPs exhibit good water dispersibility with particle size around 70 nm. Because of the efficient NIR absorption, PIT NPs display high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) (η = 46.1 %) and strong photoacoustic signal under irradiation of 635 nm laser. Moreover, under the same laser irradiation, significant reactive oxygen species can be induced by PIT NPs both in aqueous solution and cancer cells. The MTT assay demonstrate the good biocompatibility and outstanding photocytotoxicity of PIT NPs. Thus, the as-prepared PIT NPs could be used as excellent candidates for photoacoustic imaging and photodynamic/photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Organic phototheranostic nanomedicines with an optimized near-infrared (NIR) biological transparent window (700-900 nm) are highly desirable for the diagnosis and treatment of deep-seated tumors in clinic. As excellent organic photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) with outstanding photo- and thermo-stability, phthalocyanines (Pcs) have been used as the building blocks of single-component nanomedicines. However, to the best of our knowledge, all the Pc-based single-component self-assemblies reported to date are of an H-aggregate nature. This results in the simultaneous self-quenching of fluorescence emission and photodynamic activity as well as greatly reduced tissue penetration due to blue-shifted absorption. In the present work, intramolecular hydrogen bonding was formed between the two long and flexible axial NH2-terminated diethylene glycol ligands of the amphiphilic SiPc molecule (SiPc-NH2) in solution, leading to the employment of a cis-conformation of this molecule according to the 1H-NMR spectroscopy result, which as a building block then further self-assembled into monodisperse nanospheres (SiPcNano) with a J-aggregation nature on the basis of electronic absorption spectroscopic results. As a result, SiPcNano exhibited significantly enhanced red-shifted absorption in the NIR range of 750-850 nm and fluorescence emission. This in combination with the increased photodynamic effect for SiPcNano triggered by the protonation of amine groups due to the acidic nature of tumors endowed effective synergistic NIR photodynamic and photothermal effects in different cancer cells and thus effective inhibition of tumor growth in A549 tumor-bearing mice on the basis of a series of in vitro and in vivo evaluations. The present result provides a new approach for constructing novel single-component NIR organic nanomedicines for multifunctional cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) was considered as one of the most promising cancer therapies to overcome the severe side effects caused by chemotherapy. Hence, four thiophene analogs were developed to construct novel organic photothermal agents (PTAs) for many biomedical applications in cancer biosensing and photothermal therapies. The efficacy of four compounds was demonstrated by studies of photothermal properties as well as photothermal therapeutic effects. Besides, tumor ablation experiments indicated that HTN2 can effectively suppress tumors in vivo and in vitro as a novel PTA. Hence, PTAs that we designed and synthesized with their advantage of good biocompatibility and facile structural design could be candidates for PTT.

Abstract
Different carbon nanostructures have been explored as functional materials for the development of effective nanomaterials in cancer treatment applications. This review mainly aims to discuss the features, either strength or weakness, of carbon nanohorn (CNH), carbon conical horn-shaped nanostructures of sp2 carbon atoms. The interest for these materials arises from their ability to couple the clinically relevant properties of carbon nanomaterials as drug carriers with the negligible toxicity described in vivo. Here, we offer a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the use of CNH in cancer treatments, underlining the benefits of each functionalization route and approach, as well as the biological performances of either loaded and unloaded materials, while discussing the importance of delivery devices.

Abstract
Chlorophylls, which are chlorin-type photosensitizers, are known as the key building blocks of nature and are fundamental for solar energy metabolism during the photosynthesis process. In this regard, the utilization of bioinspired chlorin analogs as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy constitutes an evolutionary topic of research. Moreover, carbon nanomaterials have been widely applied in photodynamic therapy protocols due to their optical characteristics, good biocompatibility, and tunable systematic toxicity. Herein, we review the literature related to the applications of chlorin-based photosensitizers that were functionalized onto carbon nanomaterials for photodynamic and photothermal therapies against cancer. Rather than a comprehensive review, we intended to highlight the most important and illustrative examples over the last 10 years.

Abstract
Photodynamic theranostics/therapy (PDT) is a potential strategy for selectively imaging malignant sites and treating cancer via a non-invasive therapeutic method. Photosensitizers, the crucial components of PDT, enable colocalization of photons and light, and photon/light therapy in the therapeutic window of 400-900 nm exhibits photocytotoxicity to tumor cells. Due to their high biostability and photocytotoxicity, nanophotosensitizers (NPSs) are of much interest for malignant tumor theranostics at present. NPS-activated photons transfer energy through the absorption of a photon and convert molecular oxygen to the singlet reactive oxygen species, which leads to apoptosis and necrosis. Moreover, NPSs modified by polymers, including PLGA, PEG-PLA, PDLLA, PVCL-g-PLA, and P(VCL-co-VIM)-g-PLA, exhibit excellent biocompatibility, and a tumor-targeting molecule linked on the nanoparticle surface can precisely deliver NPSs into the tumor region. The development of NPSs will accelerate the progress in tumor theranostics through the photon/light pathway.

Abstract
Cancer has become one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, with increasing incidence in recent years. Current pharmacological strategies are not tissue-specific therapies, which hampers their efficacy and results in toxicity in healthy organs. Carbon-based nanomaterials have emerged as promising nanoplatforms for the development of targeted delivery systems to treat diseased cells. Single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNH) are graphene-based horn-shaped nanostructure aggregates with a multitude of versatile features to be considered as suitable nanosystems for targeted drug delivery. They can be easily synthetized and functionalized to acquire the desired physicochemical characteristics, and no toxicological effects have been reported in vivo followed by their administration. This review focuses on the use of SWCNH as drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. Their main applications include their capacity to act as anticancer agents, their use as drug delivery systems for chemotherapeutics, photothermal and photodynamic therapy, gene therapy, and immunosensing. The structure, synthesis, and covalent and non-covalent functionalization of these nanoparticles is also discussed. Although SWCNH are in early preclinical research yet, these nanotube-derived nanostructures demonstrate an interesting versatility pointing them out as promising forthcoming drug delivery systems to target and treat cancer cells.

Abstract
The development of near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing nanoagents for personalized multifunctional phototheranostics has attracted considerable attention in the past decade. Recently, the organic nanomaterials with good biosafety are considered as promising phototheranostic agents, while their facile synthesis remains challenging. Inspired by the preparation of carbon nanodots, we fabricate the NIR-absorbing phthalocyanine-based nanodots (ZnPc-NDs) using a facile method for multifunctional phototheranostics. The significant aggregation of phthalocyanines in nanodots induces a complete fluorescence quenching, which affords a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 45.7%). The ZnPc-NDs disperse very well in water media with an average diameter around 80 nm. Further conjugation of biotin on the surface of ZnPc-NDs affords tumor-targeting phthalocyanine nanodots (ZnPc-BT). The ZnPc-BT are demonstrated with favorable biocompatibility, intense photoacoustic signals, high tumor accumulation, and effective tumor suppression in vivo. This Article provides a new insight for further developing nanomedicines with imaging and therapeutic functions to treat cancers precisely and effectively.

Abstract
In the context of even more growing energy demands, the investigation of alternative environmentally friendly solutions, like fuel cells, is essential. Given their outstanding properties, carbon nanohorns (CNHs) have come forth as promising electrocatalysts within the nanocarbon family. Carbon nanohorns are conical nanostructures made of sp2 carbon sheets that form aggregated superstructures during their synthesis. They require no metal catalyst during their preparation and they are inexpensively produced in industrial quantities, affording a favorable candidate for electrocatalytic reactions. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview regarding CNHs in the field of electrocatalysis and especially, in oxygen reduction, methanol oxidation, and hydrogen evolution, as well as oxygen evolution from water splitting, underlining the progress made so far, and pointing out the areas where significant improvement can be achieved.

Abstract
Photothermal agents can transfer the absorbed light to heat energy, offering a noninvasive and controllable method to kill tumor cells and tissues. Here, we develop a simple and high-output strategy to prepare photothermal nanodots (MnPc-NDs) by the self-assembly and carbonization of manganese phthalocyanine. The aggregation of phthalocyanine molecules in the nanodots induces an efficient photothermal conversion. Thanks to the high thermal stability of phthalocyanine, the macrocycle is well preserved in the core of nanodots under the controlled hydrothermal temperature. Moreover, the as-prepared MnPc-NDs disperse well in aqueous solution with an average nanoscale size around 60 nm. The intense absorption in near-infrared (NIR) region, along with efficient reactive oxygen generation, high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 59.8%), and excellent magnetic resonance contrast performances of MnPc-NDs endow them with great potential for MRI-guided cancer phototherapy. Therefore, the contribution provides a facile way to develop theranostic MnPc-NDs for precise and efficient cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Hollow mesoporous particles for drug delivery and cancer therapy have attracted significant attention over recent decades. Here, we develop a simple and highly efficient strategy for preparing fluorescent hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCSs). Compared with typical carbon materials such as fullerene C60, carbon nanotubes, reduced graphene oxide, and carbon nanohorns; HMCSs showed fewer effects on cell cycle distribution and lower toxicity to cells. Ten different drugs were incorporated into the HMCSs, and the maximum loading efficiency reached 42.79 ± 2.7%. Importantly, microwaves were found to improve the photothermal effect generated by HMCSs when combined with 980-nm laser irradiation. The cell killing and tumor growth inhibition efficiencies of HMCSs and drug-loaded HMCSs under co-irradiation with laser and microwaves were significantly improved compared with those under laser irradiation alone. After local administration HMCSs were only distributed in tissue at the injection site. HMCSs showed almost no toxicity in mice after local injection and could be completely removed from the injection site.

Abstract
Synergistic phototherapy combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) based on near-infrared (NIR) dyes using a single light source offers the opportunity to treat diseases at deep locations. In this study, we reported human serum albumin (HSA)-involving tetra(butylamino)phthalocyanine (Pc)-based nanomaterials of HSA-α-Pc and HSA-β-Pc as highly efficient dual-phototherapy agents, namely 1(4),8(11),15(18),22(25)-tetra(butylamino)phthalocyanine (α-Pc) and 2(3),9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetra(butylamino)phthalocyanine (β-Pc). Both HSA-α-Pc and HSA-β-Pc showed excellent photothermal effects under a single NIR (808 nm) laser irradiation due to the S1 fluorescence emission quenching of Pcs. Compared to HSA-β-Pc, HSA-α-Pc exhibited better singlet oxygen generation ability and its highly efficient PDT/PTT dual-phototherapy was also well evidenced via in vitro and vivo experiments under a single 808 nm laser irradiation. Overall, this approach would be viable for the fabrication of more new Pc-based metal-free nano agents for PDT/PTT synergistic phototherapy upon a single NIR light source. Two new HSA-involved tetra(butylamino)phthalocyanine composite nanoparticles, as highly efficient dual-phototherapy agents upon a single NIR laser irradiation, were reported.![]()

Abstract
γ-Ti3O5 is one kind of prominent non-stoichiometric metal oxide due to its intriguing ability in electric and electrochemical behaviors. This work reports another attractive property of γ-Ti3O5 hierarchical porous microspheres, the extremely effective photothermal property with a high photothermal conversion efficiency. Theory and experimental results indicate that γ-Ti3O5 hierarchical porous microspheres possess metallic features and display very strong localized surface plasma resonance effects over the visible and near-infrared region. Under simulated sunlight or near infrared light, the metallic γ-Ti3O5 exhibits a photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 65.29%. Under irradiation by a near-infrared laser with a wavelength of 808 nm, the γ-Ti3O5 hierarchical porous microspheres can significantly inhibit cancer cell viability in vitro and disrupt tumor tissue growth in vivo in a short period. In vitro and in vivo toxicity experiments demonstrate that it has good biocompatibility. The ultrahigh photothermal conversion efficiency and biocompatibility make the γ-Ti3O5 very attractive for technological uses in photothermal therapy, solar energy utilization, and infrared light detection and so on. Metallic γ-Ti3O5 hierarchical porous microspheres with strong localized surface plasmon resonance are reported, which can inhibit cancer cell viability in vitro and disrupt tumor tissue growth in vivo under the irradiation of near infrared light.![]()

Abstract
In the present work, the convergence of two different drug delivery systems is investigated, namely the combination of carbon nanohorns (CNHs) and liposomes. Our effort initially included the synthesis of two conversely charged carbon nanohorns and their subsequent analysis through various methods. The study of their effect on the thermotropic behavior of artificial membranes provided an essential assistance for the upcoming liposome preparation, which were estimated for their physicochemical properties. The presence of CNHs alters the calorimetric parameters of the lipids. We also prepared CNHs:liposome systems. The characteristic morphology and secondary spherical superstructure of CNHs is retained in the chimeric materials, suggesting that the interactions with the liposomes do not alter the dahlia-flower-like aggregation of CNHs. Both CNHs-liposome systems exhibit a relatively small cellular cytotoxicity in vitro, tested in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. To summarize, we developed CNHs:liposome platforms with a complete knowledge of their thermotropic, physicochemical, morphological and nanotoxicological characteristics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of hypericin (Hyp) is hampered by poor water solubility and photostability. Incorporation of photosensitizers into nanocarriers has been designed to solve these issues. Herein, SWNH-Hyps nanohybrids were first fabricated by loading hypericin on the surface of single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) through ??? interaction and exhibited high solubility and stability in aqueous water. SWNH-Hyps could be utilized for a single platform for cancer therapy because it could simultaneously generate enough reactive oxygen species and hyperthermia using light irradiation. Moreover, the SWNHs not only improved water solubility, photostability, and therapy effects of Hyp but also protected it from light degradation. SWNH-Hyps could effectively ablate 4T1 cells by photodynamic/photothermal synergistic therapy upon 590 and 808 nm light irradiations compared with PDT. Furthermore, remarkable tumor cell death as well as tumor growth inhibition was proved via photothermal therapy and PDT of SWNH-Hyps under 590 and 808 nm light irradiations, which demonstrated that synergistic anticancer ability of SWNH-Hyps was better than that of free Hyp in vivo. Such a simple and facile adsorption method improved water solubility of Hyp and then enhanced its therapy effect, which displays that SWNHs can be hopefully used in medicines in the future.

Abstract
TiO2 nanoparticles have emerged as satisfactory sonosensitizers in sonodynamic therapy over the years, but shortcomings such as poor drug loading capability and inadequate techniques to construct suitable TiO2 nanoparticles, limit their broader applications. Hence, in this paper, versatile nanocomposites that combine mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles (mTiO2 s) with the promising photothermal material, polypyrrole (PPY) to exert synergistic therapeutic effects on tumors are fabricated. The PPY-coated mesoporous TiO2 nanocomposites (mTiO2 @PPYs) act as drug delivery vehicles and ultrasonically activated sonosensitizers as well as photothermal agents. Besides, mTiO2 @PPY may have potential as an ultrasound/photoacoustic (US/PA) imaging contrast agent. The mTiO2 @PPY shows a favorable drug loading and good photothermal conversion ability. Moreover, intracellular reactive oxygen species generation is verified. The in vitro cell experiments on HepG2 and 4T1 cells demonstrate that honokiol (HNK)-loaded mTiO2 @PPY has satisfactory cytotoxicity under laser and US irradiation, and the results are further validated by animal experiments. The ability of mTiO2 @PPY as a contrast agent for US and PA imaging is investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The results indicate that mTiO2 @PPY-HNK has multitherapeutic effects and bimodal imaging property, which shows great prospect as a novel nanosystem in antitumor applications.

Abstract
Multimodal therapy is an emerging medical intervention to overcome the current limitation in cancer therapy combining treatment modalities with different mechanisms of action to eradicate tumors. This study demonstrates a targeted multifunctional bovine serum albumin (BSA)-functionalized CuFeS2/chlorin e6 (Ce6) for synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) effects. The CuFeS2 nanocrystals were synthesized through a simple heating-up approach and transferred into an aqueous phase using BSA in an ultrasonic-assisted microemulsion method. The as-prepared CuFeS2@BSA nanoparticles further conjugated with folic acid (FA) followed by attachment of Ce6 to form the Ce6:CuFeS2@BSA-FA nanohybrid with improved solubility and strong near-infrared (NIR) absorbance and fluorescence. It is the first report to fabricate the targeted Ce6:CuFeS2@BSA-FA hybrid and evaluates their synergistic PTT/PDT effect using a single laser. The Ce6:CuFeS2@BSA-FA hybrid showed lower toxicity in vitro (HeLa and HepG2 cells) and in vivo (zebrafish embryos), while they are selectively recognized and internalized by HeLa cells that over-express folate receptors. Compared to each modality applied separately, the combined single-laser-induced PTT and PDT treatment showed the enhanced generation of heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS) with synergistic cancer killing under 671 nm laser irradiation (10 min, 1 W/cm2). As a biocompatible targeted nanoprobe, the multifunctional nanohybrid holds promise in combined PDT/PTT synergistic therapy to achieve better efficacy.

Abstract
In order to improve the dispersibility, thermal stability and pH adaptability of organic pigments in water, submicrometer copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/SiO2 composite particles (CPs) were prepared through a simple one-pot wet ball-milling process under acidic conditions without using any organic surfactant. In the as-obtained CPs, the surface of the CuPc particles was homogeneously decorated with SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) through hydrogen bonding interactions. Due to the surface-attached SiO2 NPs, the CuPc/SiO2 CPs present a high aqueous dispersibility and a pH-dependent colloidal stability. Furthermore, both the thermal stability and color intensity of CuPc were increased by encapsulation of CuPc particles within SiO2 NPs. Submicrometer copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/SiO2 composite particles were prepared through a simple one-pot wet ball-milling process under acidic condition without using any organic surfactant.![]()

Abstract
In recent years, Prussian blue (PB)-based nanoagents have become a new platform in photothermal cancer treatment. However, there is little research for PB-based nanoagents to achieve synergistic phototherapy guided by multimodal imaging diagnosis and monitoring. Herein, a novel single wavelength near infrared (NIR) laser-induced magnetically targeted theranostic nanoplatform has been successfully designed and synthesized for the first time based on polydopamine (PDA)/aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc)/bovine serum albumin (BSA) coated magnetic Prussian blue nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PB NPs) for multiple imaging-guided combinatorial cancer therapy. The resultant multifunctional Fe3O4@PB@PDA/AlPc/BSA nanocomposites show excellent stability and superparamagnetism, facilitating them to achieve superior photothermal therapy in physiological environments under magnetic guidance. In addition, the delivery vehicles can remarkably increase tumor accumulation of AlPc, thus leading to an enhanced photodynamic therapy efficacy. Furthermore, Fe3O4@PB@PDA/AlPc/BSA can be utilized as a multimodality nanoprobe for simultaneous diversified imaging, including near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRFI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). Most importantly, without noticeable dark toxicity, the obtained Fe3O4@PB@PDA/AlPc/BSA nanocomposites are able to significantly suppress tumor growth via combined photothermal and photodynamic therapies upon a single 660 nm laser irradiation, achieving a superior synergetic manner compared to monotherapy both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, our strategy provides Fe3O4@PB@PDA/AlPc/BSA nanocomposites for trimodality cancer imaging-guided synergistic therapy, with a great potential for new generation theranostics nanoagents.

Abstract
Introduction Inorganic materials are widely used in medical devices, such as artificial hearts, vessels, and joints, in stents, and as nanocarriers for drug-delivery systems. Carbon nanomaterials are of particular interest due to their biological inertness and their capability to accommodate molecules. Several attempts have been proposed, in which carbon nanomaterials are used as nanocarriers for the systemic delivery of drugs. Materials and methods We developed a drug-delivery system in which oxidized single-walled carbon nanohorns (oxSWNHs) were immobilized on a titanium (Ti) surface using material-binding peptides to enable localized drug delivery. For this purpose, we utilized a bispecific peptidic aptamer comprising a core sequence of a Ti-binding peptide and a SWNH-binding peptide to immobilize oxSWNHs on Ti. Results Scanning electron microscopy was used to confirm the presence of oxSWNHs adsorbed onto the Ti surface, and a quartz crystal microbalance was used to evaluate the binding process during oxSWNH adsorption. The oxSWNHs-ornamented Ti substrate was nontoxic to cells and released biologically active dexamethasone over a sustained period. Conclusion This oxSWNHs-immobilized system can be used to modify the surface of Ti in implants and be loaded with drugs that stimulate osteogenesis and bone regeneration.
