Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that of all the non-communicable diseases, cancer is considered the second cause of death worldwide. This has driven the big pharma companies to prioritise anticancer products in their pipeline. In addition, research has focused on exploration of new anticancer molecules and design of suitable dosage forms to achieve effective drug delivery to the tumour site. Nanotechnology is a valuable tool to build nano delivery systems with controlled and targeted drug release properties. Nanoparticles can be fabricated by robust, scalable and economic techniques using various polymers. Moreover, specific functional groups can be introduced to the surface of nanoparticles enabling targeting to a specific tissue; besides, they exhibit versatile drug release patterns according to the rate of polymer degradation. This review outlines the processes and advances in surface functionalisation of nanoparticles employed for treatment of breast cancer. The therapeutic molecules, the polymers used to fabricate nanoparticles, the techniques used to prepare the nanoparticles have been reviewed with a focus on the processes employed to functionalise these nanoparticles with suitable ligands to target different types of breast cancer.

Abstract
Different from most of the conventional platforms with dissatisfactory theranostic capabilities, supramolecular nanotheranostic systems have unparalleled advantages via the artful combination of supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology. Benefiting from the tunable stimuli-responsiveness and compatible hierarchical organization, host-guest interactions have developed into the most popular mainstay for constructing supramolecular nanoplatforms. Characterized by the strong and diverse complexation property, cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) shows great potential as important building blocks for supramolecular theranostic systems. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of CB[8]-based supramolecular theranostics regarding the design, manufacture and theranostic mechanism. Meanwhile, the current limitations and corresponding reasonable solutions as well as the potential future development are also discussed.

Abstract
Nanotechnology profoundly affects the advancement of medicine. Limitations in diagnosing and treating cancer and chronic diseases promote the growth of nanomedicine. However, there are very few analytical and descriptive studies regarding the trajectory of nanomedicine, key research powers, present research landscape, focal investigative points, and future outlooks. Herein, articles and reviews published in the Science Citation Index Expanded of Web of Science Core Collection from first January 2000 to 18th July 2023 are analyzed. Herein, a bibliometric visualization of publication trends, countries/regions, institutions, journals, research categories, themes, references, and keywords is produced and elaborated. Nanomedicine-related academic output is increasing since the COVID-19 pandemic, solidifying the uneven global distribution of research performance. While China leads in terms of publication quantity and has numerous highly productive institutions, the USA has advantages in academic impact, commercialization, and industrial value. Nanomedicine integrates with other disciplines, establishing interdisciplinary platforms, in which drug delivery and nanoparticles remain focal points. Current research focuses on integrating nanomedicine and cell ferroptosis induction in cancer immunotherapy. The keyword "burst testing" identifies promising research directions, including immunogenic cell death, chemodynamic therapy, tumor microenvironment, immunotherapy, and extracellular vesicles. The prospects, major challenges, and barriers to addressing these directions are discussed.

Abstract
The malignancy of the prostate is a complicated ailment which impacts millions of male populations around the globe. Despite the multitude of endeavour accomplished within this domain, modalities that are involved in the ameliorative management of predisposed infirmity are still relent upon non-specific and invasive procedures, thus imposing a detrimental mark on the living standard of the individual. Also, the orchestrated therapeutic interventions are still incompetent in substantiating a robust and unabridged therapeutic end point owing to their inadequate solubility, low bioavailability, limited cell assimilation, and swift deterioration, thereby muffling the clinical application of these existing treatment modalities. Nanotechnology has been employed in an array of modalities for the medical management of malignancies. Among the assortment of available nano-scaffolds, nanocarriers composed of a bio-decomposable and hybrid polymeric material like PLGA hold an opportunity to advance as standard chemotherapeutic modalities. PLGA-based nanocarriers have the prospect to address the drawbacks associated with conventional cancer interventions, owing to their versatility, durability, nontoxic nature, and their ability to facilitate prolonged drug release. This review intends to describe the plethora of evidence-based studies performed to validate the applicability of PLGA nanosystem in the amelioration of prostate malignancies, in conjunction with PLGA focused nano-scaffold in the clinical management of prostate carcinoma. This review seeks to explore numerous evidence-based studies confirming the applicability of PLGA nanosystems in ameliorating prostate malignancies. It also delves into the role of PLGA-focused nano-scaffolds in the clinical management of prostate carcinoma, aiming to provide a comprehensive perspective on these advancements.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy. For relapsed and refractory MM, a proteasome inhibitor, carfilzomib (CFZ), has become one of the few clinical options. CFZ suffers, nevertheless, metabolic instability and poor bioavailability and may induce severe cardiovascular and renal adverse events. Here, we report that daratumumab (Dar)-decorated polypeptide micelles (Dar-PMs) mediate the targeted delivery of CFZ to CD38-positive MM, effectively boosting its anti-MM efficacy. CFZ-loaded Dar-PMs (Dar-PMs-CFZ) exhibited an average diameter of ca. 80 nm and Dar density-dependent cell endocytosis and anti-MM activity, in which over 6-fold greater inhibitory effect to LP-1 and MM.1S MM cells than nontargeted PMs-CFZ control was achieved at a Dar density of 3.2 (Dar3.2-PMs-CFZ). Interestingly, Dar3.2-PMs-CFZ markedly enhanced the growth inhibition of orthotopic LP-1 MM in mice and significantly extended the median survival time compared with PMs-CFZ and free CFZ (95 days vs 60 and 54 days, respectively). In line with its high MM targetability and anti-MM efficacy, Dar3.2-PMs-CFZ revealed little toxic effects and effectively prevented osteolytic lesions. The antibody-targeted nanodelivery of a proteasome inhibitor appears to be an appealing strategy to treat multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Due to the hierarchical nature of the self-assembly process, it is effective to control assembled nanostructures by tuning the spatial configurations of the building blocks through Z-/E-isomerization. A pair of AIE stereoisomers termed (Z)-/(E)-TPE-UPy was reported with different self-assembly mechanisms, morphologies and luminescence properties. In this study, we present a multiscale modeling combining MD simulations, hybrid QM/MM calculations and the PCM model, to systematically clarify the molecular configuration-molecular assembly-photophysical property relationship of (Z)-/(E)-TPE-UPy. Our study shows that (Z)-TPE-UPy follows a concentration-dependent ring-chain polymerization mechanism. At low concentration, (Z)-TPE-UPy tends to form ring-like (Z)-close-dimers with all H-bond sites occupied, while at high concentration, the H-bond backbone in the chain-like structures is more planar and stronger, making the zig-zag chain-like conformations more favorable. For the (E)-isomer, the H-bond backbone is quite planar and rigid, which makes it linearly elongate one-by-one at the whole range of concentrations via the isodesmic polymerization mechanism. (Z)-TPE-UPy oligomers exhibit large flexibility and diverse conformations, leading to sharply enhanced viscosity at high concentration in experiments. Moreover, the fluorescence spectrum of (Z)-/(E)-TPE-UPy aggregate is conformation-dependent and the enhanced emission in the aggregated state is attributed to the restriction of the low-frequency intramolecular rotations of the phenyl rings and the distortion of the CC plane, as well as the reduction of electron-vibration couplings. Our work not only offers valuable insights into the key role of stereoisomerism in assembled morphologies and luminescence properties, but also provides a theoretical basis for the rational design of new building blocks based on stereoisomers.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), derived from bacterium named Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has become one of the worst infectious and contagious illnesses in the world after HIV/AIDS. Long-term therapy, a high pill burden, lack of compliance, and strict management regimens are disadvantages which resulted in the extensively drug-resistant (XDR) along with multidrug-resistant (MDR) in the treatment of TB. One of the main thrust areas for the current scenario is the development of innovative intervention tools for early diagnosis and therapeutics towards Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). This review discusses various nanotherapeutic agents that have been developed for MTB diagnostics, anti-TB drugs and vaccine. Undoubtedly, the concept of employing nanoparticles (NPs) has strong potential in this therapy and offers impressive outcomes to conquer the disease. Nanocarriers with different types were designed for drug delivery applications via various administration methods. Controlling and maintaining the drug release might be an example of the benefits of utilizing a drug-loaded NP in TB therapy over conventional drug therapy. Furthermore, the drug-encapsulated NP is able to lessen dosage regimen and can resolve the problems of insufficient compliance. Over the past decade, NPs were developed in both diagnostic and therapeutic methods, while on the other hand, the therapeutic system has increased. These "theranostic" NPs were designed for nuclear imaging, optical imaging, ultrasound, imaging with magnetic resonance and the computed tomography, which includes both single-photon computed tomography and positron emission tomography. More specifically, the current manuscript focuses on the status of therapeutic and diagnostic approaches in the treatment of TB.

Abstract
Selenium is an important dietary supplement and an essential trace element incorporated into selenoproteins with growth-modulating properties and cytotoxic mechanisms of action. However, different compounds of selenium usually possess a narrow nutritional or therapeutic window with a low degree of absorption and delicate safety margins, depending on the dose and the chemical form in which they are provided to the organism. Hence, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are emerging as a novel therapeutic and diagnostic platform with decreased toxicity and the capacity to enhance the biological properties of Se-based compounds. Consistent with the exciting possibilities offered by nanotechnology in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases, SeNPs are useful tools in current biomedical research with exceptional benefits as potential therapeutics, with enhanced bioavailability, improved targeting, and effectiveness against oxidative stress and inflammation-mediated disorders. In view of the need for developing eco-friendly, inexpensive, simple, and high-throughput biomedical agents that can also ally with theranostic purposes and exhibit negligible side effects, biogenic SeNPs are receiving special attention. The present manuscript aims to be a reference in its kind by providing the readership with a thorough and comprehensive review that emphasizes the current, yet expanding, possibilities offered by biogenic SeNPs in the biomedical field and the promise they hold among selenium-derived products to, eventually, elicit future developments. First, the present review recalls the physiological importance of selenium as an oligo-element and introduces the unique biological, physicochemical, optoelectronic, and catalytic properties of Se nanomaterials. Then, it addresses the significance of nanosizing on pharmacological activity (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics) and cellular interactions of SeNPs. Importantly, it discusses in detail the role of biosynthesized SeNPs as innovative theranostic agents for personalized nanomedicine-based therapies. Finally, this review explores the role of biogenic SeNPs in the ongoing context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and presents key prospects in translational nanomedicine.

Abstract
Assessment of drug activation and subsequent interaction with targets in living tissues could guide nanomedicine design, but technologies enabling insight into how a drug reaches and binds its target are limited. We show that a Hoechst-based reporter system can monitor drug release and engagement from a nanoparticle delivery system in vitro and in vivo, elucidating differences in target-bound drug distribution related to drug-linker and nanoparticle properties. Drug engagement is defined as chemical detachment of drug or reporter from a nanoparticle and subsequent binding to a subcellular target, which in the case of Hoechst results in a fluorescence signal. Hoechst-based nanoreporters for drug activation contain prodrug elements such as dipeptide linkers, conjugation handles, and nanoparticle modifications such as targeting ligands to determine how nanomedicine design affects distribution of drug engaged with a subcellular target, which is tracked via cellular nuclear fluorescence in situ. Furthermore, the nanoplatform is amenable toward common maleimide-based linkers found in many prodrug-based delivery systems including polymer-, peptide-, and antibody-drug conjugates. Findings from the Hoechst reporter system were applied to develop highly potent, targeted, anticancer micelle nanoparticles delivering a monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) prodrug comprising the same linkers employed in Hoechst studies. MMAE nanomedicine with the optimal drug-linker resulted in effective tumor growth inhibition in mice without associated acute toxicity, whereas the nonoptimal linker that showed broader drug activation in Hoechst reporter studies resulted in severe toxicity. Our results demonstrate the potential to synergize direct visualization of drug engagement with nanomedicine drug-linker design to optimize safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Supramolecular nanomedicines have shown great merits in cancer therapy, but their clinical translation is hampered by monotonous therapeutic modality and unsatisfactory antitumor performance. Herein, a hybrid supramolecular polymeric nanomedicine (SNPs) is developed based on β-cyclodextrin/camptothecin (CPT) host-guest molecular recognition and iron-carboxylate coordination. Iron ions stabilizing SNPs catalyze the conversion of intracellular hydrogen peroxide into highly toxic hydroxyl radical through a Fenton reaction, which further cleaves the thioketal linker of the supramolecular monomer to release potent CPT, thus amplifying the therapeutic efficacy by combining chemodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. The combination therapy stimulates antitumor immunity and promotes intratumoral infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes by triggering immunogenic cell death. In synergy with PD-L1 checkpoint blockade, SNPs enables enhanced immune therapy and a long-term tumor remission.

Abstract
Traditional herbal medicine (THM), an ancient science, is a gift from nature. For thousands of years, it has helped humans fight diseases and protect life, health, and reproduction. Nanomedicine, a newer discipline has evolved from exploitation of the unique nanoscale morphology and is widely used in diagnosis, imaging, drug delivery, and other biomedical fields. Although THM and nanomedicine differ greatly in time span and discipline dimensions, they are closely related and are even evolving toward integration and convergence. This review begins with the history and latest research progress of THM and nanomedicine, expounding their respective developmental trajectory. It then discusses the overlapping connectivity and relevance of the two fields, including nanoaggregates generated in herbal medicine decoctions, the application of nanotechnology in the delivery and treatment of natural active ingredients, and the influence of physiological regulatory capability of THM on the in vivo fate of nanoparticles. Finally, future development trends, challenges, and research directions are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supramolecular theranostics have exhibited promising potentials in disease diagnosis and therapy by taking advantages of the dynamic and reversible nature of non-covalent interactions. It is extremely important to figure out the stability of the driving forces in physiological environment for the preparation of theranostic systems. METHODS The host-guest complexation between cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), 4,4'-bipyridinium, and napththyl guest was fully studied using various characterizations, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The association constants of this ternary complex were determined using isothermal titration calorimetry. The stability of the non-covalent interactions and self-assemblies form from this molecular recognition was confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). A supramolecular nanomedicine was constructed on the basis of this 1:1:1 ternary recognition, and its in vitro and in vivo anticancer efficacy were thoroughly evaluated. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was used to monitor the delivery and biodistribution of the supramolecular nanomedicine. RESULTS Various experiments confirmed that the ternary complexation between 4,4'-bipyridinium, and napththyl derivative and CB[8] was stable in physiological environment, including phosphate buffered solution and cell culture medium. Supramolecular nanomedicine (SNM@DOX) encapsulating a neutral anticancer drug (doxrubincin, DOX) was prepared based on this molecular recognition that linked the hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) chain and hydrophilic polyethylene glycol segment. The non-covalent interactions guaranteed the stability of SNM@DOX during blood circulation and promoted its tumor accumulation by taking advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention effect, thus greatly improving the anti-tumor efficacy as compared with the free drug. CONCLUSION Arising from the host-enhanced charge-transfer interactions, the CB[8]-based ternary recognition was stable enough in physiological environment, which was suitable for the fabrication of supramolecular nanotheranostics showing promising potentials in precise cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common diseases endangering human health and life. By 2030, 14 per 100,000 people may die from CKD. Renal fibrosis (RF) is an important intermediate link and the final pathological change during CKD progression to the terminal stage. Therefore, identifying safe and effective treatment methods for RF has become an important goal. In 2018, the World Health Organization introduced traditional Chinese medicine into its effective global medical program. Various phytoconstituents that affect the RF process have been extracted from different plants. Here, we review the potential therapeutic capabilities of active phytoconstituents in RF treatment and discuss how phytoconstituents can be structurally modified or combined with other ingredients to enhance efficiency and reduce toxicity. We also summarize phytoconstituent delivery strategies to overcome renal barriers and improve bioavailability and targeting.

Abstract
Polymers consisting of amino acid building blocks continue to receive consideration for biomedical applications. Since poly(amino acid)s are built from natural amino acids, the same building blocks proteins are made of, they are biocompatible, biodegradable and their degradation products are metabolizable. Some amino acids display a unique asymmetrical AB2 structure, which facilitates their ability to form branched structures. This review compares the three forms of highly branched polymeric structures: structurally highly organized dendrimers, dendrigrafts and the less organized, but readily synthesizable hyperbranched polymers. Their syntheses are reviewed and compared, methods of synthesis modulations are considered and variations on their traditional syntheses are shown. The potential use of highly branched polymers in the realm of biomedical applications is discussed, specifically their applications as delivery vehicles for genes and drugs and their use as antiviral compounds. Of the twenty essential amino acids, L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, and L-aspartic acid are asymmetrical AB2 molecules, but the bulk of the research into highly branched poly(amino acid)s has focused on the polycationic poly(L-lysine) with a lesser extent on poly(L-glutamic acid). Hence, the majority of potential applications lies in delivery systems for nucleic acids and this review examines and compares how these three types of highly branched polymers function as non-viral gene delivery vectors. When considering drug delivery systems, the small size of these highly branched polymers is advantageous for the delivery of inhalable drug. Even though highly branched polymers, in particular dendrimers, have been studied for more than 40 years for the delivery of genes and drugs, they have not translated in large scale into the clinic except for promising antiviral applications that have been commercialized.

Abstract
Metal-mediated self-assembly of chelating double-hydrophilic block copolymer has become a facile preparation strategy of great importance for the metal-chelated hybrid nanostructures. Herein, we present a delicate control over the morphology regulation of metal-chelated nanostructures by a terminal modification of polymer building blocks with mesogenic cholesterol. Such a molecular design motif at an end of chelating linear/brush-type block copolymer imparts not only additional hydrophobicity for enhanced cohesive force to facilitate the metal-mediated self-assembly, but also significant morphological alteration of a metal-chelated core that otherwise generally forms a spherical interior with cholesterol-free block copolymers. The presence of cholesterol entities localized at the central core further allows for the density modulation of the final PtII-chelated nanostructures while maintaining the colloidal stability, comparable to that of the cholesterol-free nanoparticles in physiological conditions. This metal-mediated assembly strategy with modified polymer building blocks can provide a potential platform for the delivery of inorganic agents.

Abstract
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can effectively silence target genes through Argonate 2 (Ago2)-induced RNA interference (RNAi). It is very important to control siRNA activity in both spatial and temporal modes. Among different masking strategies, photocaging can be used to regulate gene expression through light irradiation with spatiotemporal and dose-dependent resolution. Many different caging strategies and caging groups have been reported for light-activated siRNA gene silencing. Herein, we describe a novel caging strategy that increases the blocking effect of RISC complex formation/process through host/guest (including ligand/receptor) interactions, thereby enhancing the inhibition of caged siRNA activity until light activation. This strategy can be used as a general approach to design caged siRNAs for the photomodulation of gene silencing of exogenous and endogenous genes.

Abstract
The use of nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as drug delivery vehicles has attracted considerable attention in tumor therapy. In this study, novel biocompatible MOF-based nanocarriers were used as part of a facile and reproducible strategy for precision cancer theranostics. Both diagnostic (Mn2+) and therapeutic compounds (doxorubicin, DOX) were incorporated into the multifunctional MOF-based nanocarriers, which exhibited high colloidal stability and promoted T1-weighted proton relaxivity and low-pH-activated drug release. The obtained MOF-based nanocarriers exhibited significantly high cellular uptake and efficient intracellular drug delivery into cancer cells, which resulted in high apoptosis and cytotoxicity, in addition to effectively inhibiting the migration of 4T1 breast cancer cells. Moreover, the MOF-based nanocarriers could intensively deliver diagnostic and therapeutic agents to tumors to enable precise visualization of the nanocarrier accumulation and accurate tumor positioning, diagnosis, and imaging-guided therapy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, the functional MOF-based nanocarriers exhibited effective ablation of the primary breast cancer, as well as significant inhibition of lung metastasis with a high survival rate. Therefore, the developed nanocarriers represent a viable platform for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
The incorporation of new modalities into chemotherapy greatly enhances the anticancer efficacy combining the merits of each treatment, showing promising potentials in clinical translations. Herein, a hybrid nanomedicine (Au/FeMOF@CPT NPs) is fabricated using metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as building blocks for cancer chemo/chemodynamic therapy. MOF NPs are used as vehicles to encapsulate camptothecin (CPT), and the hybridization by Au NPs greatly improves the stability of the nanomedicine in a physiological environment. Triggered by the high concentration of phosphate inside the cancer cells, Au/FeMOF@CPT NPs effectively collapse after internalization, resulting in the complete drug release and activation of the cascade catalytic reactions. The intracellular glucose can be oxidized by Au NPs to produce hydrogen dioxide, which is further utilized as chemical fuel for the Fenton reaction, thus realizing the synergistic anticancer efficacy. Benefitting from the enhanced permeability and retention effect and sophisticated fabrications, the blood circulation time and tumor accumulation of Au/FeMOF@CPT NPs are significantly increased. In vivo results demonstrate that the combination of chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy effectively suppresses the tumor growth, meantime the systemic toxicity of this nanomedicine is greatly avoided.

Abstract
The emergence of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) has significantly stimulated the development of luminescent supramolecular materials because their strong emissions in the aggregated state have resolved the notorious obstacle of the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, thereby enabling AIEgen-based supramolecular materials to have a promising prospect in the fields of luminescent materials, sensors, bioimaging, drug delivery, and theranostics. Moreover, in contrast to conventional fluorescent molecules, the configuration of AIEgens is highly twisted in space. Investigating AIEgens and the corresponding supramolecular materials provides fundamental insights into the self-assembly of nonplanar molecules, drastically expands the building blocks of supramolecular materials, and pushes forward the frontiers of supramolecular chemistry. In this review, we will summarize the basic concepts, seminal studies, recent trends, and perspectives in the construction and applications of AIEgen-based supramolecular materials with the hope to inspire more interest and additional ideas from researchers and further advance the development of supramolecular chemistry.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2020; 32:e1906024.

Abstract
The clinical application of chemotherapy is impeded by the unsatisfactory efficacy and severe side effects. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as an efficient strategy for cancer treatment utilizing Fenton chemistry to destroy cancer cells by converting endogenous H2 O2 into highly toxic reactive oxygen species. Apart from the chemotherapeutic effect, cisplatin is able to act as an artificial enzyme to produce H2 O2 for CDT through cascade reactions, thus remarkably improving the anti-tumor outcomes. Herein, an organic theranostic nanomedicine (PTCG NPs) is constructed with high loading capability using epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), phenolic platinum(IV) prodrug (Pt-OH), and polyphenol modified block copolymer (PEG-b-PPOH) as the building blocks. The high stability of PTCG NPs during circulation stems from their strong metal-polyphenol coordination interactions, and efficient drug release is realized after cellular internalization. The activated cisplatin elevates the intracellular H2 O2 level through cascade reactions. This is further utilized to produce highly toxic reactive oxygen species catalyzed by an iron-based Fenton reaction. In vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrate that the combination of chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy achieves excellent anticancer efficacy. Meanwhile, systemic toxicity faced by platinum-based drugs is avoided through this nanoformulation. This work provides a promising strategy to develop advanced nanomedicine for cascade cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapy has been applied as a prospective approach in tumor therapeutics. However, suffering from the inherent hypoxia status in tumor microenvironment (TME), the anticancer efficiency is enormously restricted, especially PDT. Herein, we develop a unique liposomal encapsulated catalase (CAT), lyso-targeted NIR photosensitizer (MBDP) and doxorubicin (Dox), forming FA-L@MD@CAT, to increase tumor oxygenation by catalyzing intratumoral high-expressed H2O2 for enhancing the combination of chemo-PDT. Moreover, the enhanced tumoral oxygenation not only facilitates singlet oxygen (1O2) production but also reverses immunosuppressive TME by modulating immune cytokines to favor antitumor immunities, which significantly induce tumor death. Notably, this system also realizes specific tumor recognition to folate receptor upregulated tumors and improves intratumoral accumulation. This work provides an effective strategy to promote tumor therapeutic index, which may possess a promising future in clinical application.

Abstract
The severe mortality and morbidity of myocardial infarction requests appropriate and accurate detection. Considering pathological profile of the acidic myocardial infarction microenvironments, herein, the low pH-sensitive albumin nanocomposites with MnO2 motifs (MnO2@BSA) have been engineered for T1-weighted MR imaging of myocardial infarction, while using non-pH-responsive Gd2O3@BSA nanocomposites as control. The nanocomposites were 20-30 nm in diameter with spheroid morphology. Besides, the MnO2@BSA have exhibited pH-triggered releasing of Mn2+, demonstrating approximately 38-fold and 55-fold increased molecular relaxivity at acute myocardial infarction-mimicking pH 6.5 (13.08 mM-1s-1) and macrophage intracellular pH 5.0 (18.76 mM-1s-1) compared to the extremely low relaxivity (0.34 mM-1s-1) at normal physiological conditions (pH 7.4). However, the Gd2O3@BSA with molecular relaxivity approximately 10 mM-1s-1 were without pH-sensitive properties. Furthermore, the MnO2@BSA have demonstrated high accumulation in the acute myocardial infarction regions and fast metabolism from the body after systemic injection, accounting high contrast enhancement for accurate MR imaging of acute myocardial infarction in rabbit models, demonstrating better diagnostic performance over the controls.

Abstract
Cathepsins are an important category of enzymes that have attracted great attention for the delivery of drugs to improve the therapeutic outcome of a broad range of nanoscale drug delivery systems. These proteases can be utilized for instance through actuation of polymer-drug conjugates (e.g., triggering the drug release) to bypass limitations of many drug candidates. A substantial amount of work has been witnessed in the design and the evaluation of Cathepsin-sensitive drug delivery systems, especially based on the tetra-peptide sequence (Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly, GFLG) which has been extensively used as a spacer that can be cleaved in the presence of Cathepsin B. This Review Article will give an in-depth overview of the design and the biological evaluation of Cathepsin-sensitive drug delivery systems and their application in different pathologies including cancer before discussing Cathepsin B-cleavable prodrugs under clinical trials.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) was engineered as a drug delivery nanocarrier nearly 50 years ago due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. In recent years, several approaches have been developed for the preparation of size-controllable, stable and multifunctional CaP nanocarriers, and several targeting moieties have also been decorated on the surface of these nanocarriers for active targeting. The CaP nanocarriers have been utilized for loading probes, nucleic acids, anticancer drugs and photosensitizers for cancer imaging, therapy and theranostics. Herein, we reviewed the recent advances in the preparation strategies of CaP nanocarriers and the applications of these nanocarriers in tumor diagnosis, gene delivery, drug delivery and theranostics and finally provided perspectives.

Abstract
Macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, exhibit unparalleled advantages in disease diagnosis and therapy over the past years by fully taking advantage of their host-guest molecular recognitions. The dynamic nature of the non-covalent interactions and selective host-guest complexation endow the resultant nanomaterials with intriguing properties, holding promising potentials in theranostic fields. Interestingly, the differences in microenvironment between the abnormal and normal cells/tissues can be employed as the stimuli to modulate the host-guest interactions, realizing the purpose of precise diagnosis and specific delivery of drugs to lesion sites. In this review, we summarize the progress of supramolecular theranostics on the basis of host-guest chemistry benefiting from their fantastic topological structures and outstanding supramolecular chemistry. These state-of-the-art examples provide new methodologies to overcome the obstacles faced by the traditional theranostic systems, promoting their clinical translations.

Abstract
Cationic metal-mediated self-assembly of double-hydrophilic block copolymers (DHBCs) has been of great interest for the preparation of hybrid nanoparticles for versatile applications. Among many functional transition-metal ions, manganese (MnII) is a highly attractive element due to its paramagnetic property with a high coordination number. However, MnII does not lead to the efficient self-assembly of DHBCs because of the relatively high aqueous solubility of coordinated MnII. This article reports a facile method for direct conjugation of MnII ions inside sterically stabilized polymer assemblies, composed of pyrene-end-modified DHBCs. Nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization was used to prepare the poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(acrylate) DHBC precursor, followed by the end-modification with pyrene maleimide via the radical-exchange reaction. Employing the self-associated DHBC as the nanoscale template, the simple addition of MnII enables a large number of polyvalent MnII ions to be immobilized at the chelating blocks of DHBCs, which can be readily monitored by the excimeric fluorescence emission change of the terminal pyrene fluorophore. The resulting MnII-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (MnII-PNPs) possess nanogel-like scaffolds, which allow for efficient water permeation at the MnII-incorporated interior for enhanced magnetic resonance contrasting effect. Additionally, by comparing the coordination properties of MnII and cisplatin, we endeavor to understand the internal structures and the relevant physicochemical features of metal-chelated nanoparticles.

Abstract
Bortezomib (BTZ) is a first-in-class boronate proteasome inhibitor used for cancer therapy, but its therapeutic efficacy is usually inhibited by dietary polyphenols due to boronate-catechol complexation. Benefiting from such dynamic covalent chemistry, herein we describe a novel class of supramolecular nanomedicines by rationally converting natural polyphenols from foe to friend through polyphenol-mediated BTZ assembly strategy. The simple conjugation of BTZ to catechol-containing natural polyphenols via boronate ester bond allows the facile formation of dynamic drug amphiphiles, with pH-dependent assembly/disassembly behaviors under different physiological conditions. Ferric ion was also incorporated into the supramolecular system via metal-phenolic coordination interaction to both introduce bioimaging function and facilitate stability of the supramolecular nanomedicines. Our investigation revealed that the supramolecular nanomedicine consisting of natural polyphenol, BTZ and ferric ion dramatically induced apoptosis on cancer cells and suppressed tumor growth in both subcutaneous and bone tumor models with limited adverse effects. Such natural polyphenol-mediated small drug assembly strategy enables the robust fabrication of supramolecular nanomedicines for efficient delivery and controlled release of BTZ in targeted tumor sites, which could be further employed in other types of boronic acid-containing supramolecular therapeutics toward a wide range of diseases.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is currently one of the most effective ways to treat cancer. However, traditional chemotherapy faces several obstacles to clinical trials, such as poor solubility/stability, non-targeting capability and uncontrollable release of the drugs, greatly limiting their anticancer efficacy and causing severe side effects towards normal tissues. Supramolecular chemotherapy integrating non-covalent interactions and traditional chemotherapy is a highly promising candidate in this regard and can be appropriately used for targeted drug delivery. By taking advantage of supramolecular chemistry, some limitations impeding traditional chemotherapy for clinical applications can be solved effectively. Therefore, we present here a review summarizing the progress of supramolecular chemotherapy in cancer treatment based on host-guest recognition and provide guidance on the design of new targeting supramolecular chemotherapy combining diagnostic and therapeutic functions. Based on a large number of state-of-the-art studies, our review will advance supramolecular chemotherapy on the basis of host-guest recognition and promote translational clinical applications.

The synthesized receptor 4-((5-methylfuran-2-yl)methylene)hydrazono)methyl)phenol MFMHMP was found selective for La3+ among Ag+, K+, Na+, Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Eu3+, Al3+, La3+, Zr4+, Th4+, UO22+, Fe3+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ metal ions used as their nitrates by UV-visible spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding nature of MFMHMP with La3+ ion was analyzed by UV-visible, fluorescence, IR, mass spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetric studies. The stoichiometry was established to be 1:1 by Benesi-Hildebrand, mole-ratio method and method of continuous variation (Job's method) with good association affinity K = 6.245 × 104 M-1. Computational studies and Density functional theory (DFT) calculation gives the proof of electron transfer during excitation and emission. Binding energy of complex through Density Function Theory -62.387 kcal/mol has also indication of strong binding. The electron transfer energy of Higher occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to Lower unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is about 4.662 eV for MFMHMP+La3+ Complex. Among that all transitions HOMO → LUMO + 8 and HOMO → LUMO + 9 play a key role for the blue shift transition during complexation.

Abstract
Supramolecular systems have applications in areas as diverse as materials science, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and nanomedicine. However, analyzing such systems can be challenging due to the wide range of time scales, binding strengths, distances, and concentrations at which non-covalent phenomena take place. Due to their versatility and sensitivity, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based techniques are excellently suited to meet such challenges. Here, we detail the ways in which FRET has been used to study non-covalent interactions in both synthetic and biological supramolecular systems. Among other topics, we examine methods to measure molecular forces, determine protein conformations, monitor assembly kinetics, and visualize in vivo drug release from nanoparticles. Furthermore, we highlight multiplex FRET techniques, discuss the field's limitations, and provide a perspective on new developments.

Abstract
Kidney-specific delivery is critically important for the treatment of renal fibrosis with drugs such as salvianolic acid B (Sal B). Here we report a kidney-specific nanocomplex formed by the coordination-driven assembly of catechol-modified low molecular weight chitosan (HCA-Chi), calcium ions and Sal B. The prepared HCA-Chi-Ca-Sal B (HChi-Ca-Sal B) nanocomplex reversed the TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in HK-2 cells. In vivo imaging demonstrated a kidney-specific biodistribution of the nanocomplex. The anti-fibrosis effect of HChi-Ca-Sal B was tested in a mouse model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Significant attenuation of the morphological lesions and the levels of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in the tubulointerstitium was observed in mice treated with HChi-Ca-Sal B, suggesting that the nanocomplex was able to prevent fibrosis better than the treatment with free Sal B. It was concluded that the HChi-Ca-Sal B nanocomplex showed a specific renal targeting capacity and could be utilized to enhance Sal B delivery for treating renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Large surface area, uniform and tunable pore size, high pore volume and low mass density- such attractive features of Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have compelled researchers to explore the biomedical potential of this nano-material. Recently gained interest in MSNPs have been due to their tremendous potential in cancer therapy and imaging. Last several years have witnessed a rapid development in engineering functionalized MSNPs with various types of functional groups integrated into the system for imaging and therapeutic applications. Although their potential for drug delivery application has been studied since the year 2000, still a major challenge is to improve drug loading capacity and in vivo targeting with minimal side-effects to major organs. In this review article, the recent development of MSNPs as a therapeutic and diagnostic platform has been detailed out with emphasis on drug and bio-macromolecule delivery/co-delivery, bio-imaging and detoxification.

Abstract
The complex design of multifunctional nanomedicine is beneficial to overcome the multiple biological barriers of drug delivery, but it also presents additional hurdles to clinical translation (e.g., scaling-up and quality control). To address this dilemma, we employed a simple imidazole-bearing polymer micelle for enhanced cellular uptake, facilitated endosomal escape, and on-demand release of a model drug, SN-38. The micelles were crosslinked by the reversible imidazole/Zn2+ coordination with a drug loading of ca. 4% (w/w) and a diameter less than 200 nm. Under mimicked tumor microenvironment (pH 6.8), the surface charge of micelles reversed from negative to positive, leading to enhanced micelles uptake by model 4T1 cells. Such effect was verified by fluorescent labelling of micelles. Compared to imidazole-free nanocarriers, the charge-reversal micelles delivered significantly more SN-38 to 4T1 cells. Due to the proton sponge effect, imidazole-bearing micelles could rapidly escape from endosomes compared to the control micelles, as evidenced by the kinetic analysis of micelle/endosome co-localization. The coordination crosslinking also enabled the acid-triggered drug release. This work provides a "three birds with one stone" approach to achieve the multifunctionality of nanocarriers without complicated particle design, and opens new avenues of advancing nanomedicine translation via simple tailored nanocarriers.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive delivery systems for cancer therapy have been increasingly used to promote the on-demand therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs and, in some cases, simultaneously generate heat in response to a stimulus, resulting in hyperthermia. However, their application is still limited due to the systemic drawbacks of intravenous delivery, such as rapid clearance from the bloodstream and the repeat injections required for sustained safe dosage, which can cause overdosing. Here, we propose a gold (Au)-coated nanoturf structure as an implantable therapeutic interface for near-infrared (NIR)-mediated on-demand hyperthermia chemotherapy. The Au nanoturf possessed long-lasting doxorubicin (DOX) duration, which helps facilitate drug release in a sustained and prolonged manner. Moreover, the Au-coated nanoturf provides reproducible hyperthermia induced by localized surface plasmon resonances under NIR irradiation. Simultaneously, the NIR-mediated temperature increase can promote on-demand drug release at desired time points. For in vivo analysis, the Au nanoturf structure was applied on an esophageal stent, which needs sustained anticancer treatment to prevent tumor recurrence on the implanted surface. This thermo- and chemo-esophageal stent induced significant cancer cell death with released drug and hyperthermia. These phenomena were also confirmed by theoretical analysis. The proposed strategy provides a solution to achieve enhanced thermo-/chemotherapy and has broad applications in sustained cancer treatments.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of antibacterial resistance globally underscores the urgent need to the update of antibiotics. Here, we describe a strategy for inducing the self-assembly of a host-defense antimicrobial peptide (AMP) into nanoparticle antibiotics (termed nanobiotics) with significantly improved pharmacological properties. Our strategy involves the myristoylation of human α-defensin 5 (HD5) as a therapeutic target and subsequent self-assembly in aqueous media in the absence of exogenous excipients. Compared with its parent HD5, the C-terminally myristoylated HD5 (HD5-myr)-assembled nanobiotic exhibited significantly enhanced broad-spectrum bactericidal activity in vitro. Mechanistically, it selectively killed Escherichia coli ( E. coli) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through disruption of the cell wall and/or membrane structure. The in vivo results further demonstrated that the HD5-myr nanobiotic protected against skin infection by MRSA and rescued mice from E. coli-induced sepsis by lowering the systemic bacterial burden and alleviating organ damage. The self-assembled HD5-myr nanobiotic also showed negligible hemolytic activity and substantially low toxicity in animals. Our findings validate this design rationale as a simple yet versatile strategy for generating AMP-derived nanobiotics with excellent in vivo tolerability. This advancement will likely have a broad impact on antibiotic discovery and development efforts aimed at combating antibacterial resistance.

Abstract
Current drug delivery systems are hampered by poor delivery to tumors, in part reflecting poor encapsulation stability of nanocarriers. Although nanocarriers such as polymeric micelles have high colloidal stability and do not aggregate or precipitate in bulk solution, nanocarriers with low encapsulation stability can lose their cargo during circulation in blood due to interactions with blood cells, cellular membranes, serum proteins, and other biomacromolecules. The resulting premature drug release from carriers limits the therapeutic efficacy at target sites. Herein, we report a simple and robust technique to improve encapsulation stability of drug delivery systems. Specifically, we show that installation of disulfide cross-linked noncovalent polymer gatekeepers onto mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a high loading capacity for hydrophobic drugs enhances in vivo therapeutic efficacy by preventing premature release of cargo. Subsequent release of drug cargos was triggered by cleavage of disulfide cross-linking by glutathione, leading to improved antitumor activity of doxoroubicin in mice. These findings provide novel insights into the development of nanocarriers with high encapsulation stability and improved in vivo therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) contains a distinctively dense stroma that limits the accessibility of anticancer drugs, contributing to its poor overall prognosis. Nanoparticles can enhance drug delivery and retention in pancreatic tumors and have been utilized clinically for their treatment. In preclinical studies, various mouse models differentially recapitulate the microenvironmental features of human PDAC. Here, we demonstrate that through utilization of different organic cosolvents and by doping of a homopolymer of poly(ε-caprolactone), a diblock copolymer composition of poly(ethylene oxide)- block-poly(ε-caprolactone) may be utilized to generate biodegradable and nanoscale micelles with different physical properties. Noninvasive optical imaging was employed to examine the pharmacology and biodistribution of these various nanoparticle formulations in both allografted and autochthonous mouse models of PDAC. In contrast to the results reported with transplanted tumors, spherical micelles as large as 300 nm in diameter were found to extravasate in the autochthonous model, reaching a distance of approximately 20 μm from the nearest tumor cell clusters. A lipophilic platinum(IV) prodrug of oxaliplatin was further able to achieve a ∼7-fold higher peak accumulation and a ∼50-fold increase in its retention half-life in pancreatic tumors when delivered with 100 nm long worm-like micelles as when compared to the free drug formulation of oxaliplatin. Through further engineering of nanoparticle properties, as well as by widespread adoption of the autochthonous tumor model for preclinical testing, future therapeutic formulations may further enhance the targeting and penetration of anticancer agents to improve survival outcomes in PDAC.

Abstract
Green chemistry, in particular, the principle of atom economy, has defined new criteria for the efficient and sustainable production of synthetic compounds. In complex nanomaterials, the number of embedded functional entities and the energy expenditure of the assembly process represent additional compound-associated parameters that can be evaluated from an economic viewpoint. In this Perspective, we extend the principle of atom economy to the study and characterization of multifunctionality in nanocarriers, which we define as "multifunctional efficiency". This concept focuses on the design of highly active nanomaterials by maximizing integrated functional building units while minimizing inactive components. Furthermore, synthetic strategies aim to minimize the number of steps and unique reagents required to make multifunctional nanocarriers. The ultimate goal is to synthesize a nanocarrier that is highly specialized but practical and simple to make. Owing to straightforward crystal engineering, metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles are an excellent example to illustrate the idea behind this concept and have the potential to emerge as next-generation drug delivery systems. Here, we highlight examples showing how the combination of the properties of MOFs ( e.g., their organic-inorganic hybrid nature, high surface area, and biodegradability) and induced systematic modifications and functionalizations of the MOF's scaffold itself lead to a nanocarrier with high multifunctional efficiency.
