Abstract
AbstractSmart materials such as thermo‐sensitive in situ forming hydrogels can be effective agents in drug delivery and tissue regeneration with minimal invasion. Injection method would avoid complex surgical procedures facilitating rapid recovery process. In this research, we report the fabrication of an easy, reproducible thermo‐sensitive hydrogel constituting of chitosan (CHI), glycerol phosphate (GP) with variable quantity of ‐poly‐l‐lysine (PS). Fourier‐transform infrared spectra exhibited hydrogel formation where interactions between CHI and GP were seen. The gelation kinetics presented gelation time of 8 min at physiological temperature. The results indicated an increase in degradation rate with the passage of time. Contact angles measurements were employed to observe hydrophilic characteristics which were shown to be favorable. Mechanical strength was determined to be in the range of ~0.1–0.6 MPa for all the hydrogels. Due to intrinsic antibacterial features of CHI and PS, the hydrogels showed potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MR‐SA). Interestingly, PS's addition in the hydrogel resulted in potent antibacterial activity against clinically relevant MR‐SA. The hydrogels can hence be delivered to a specific target for localized treatments where the potential of inhibiting multidrug resistant strain is clinically relevant. Biocompatibility of the hydrogels was seen by an overall increase in cell viability of mouse fibroblast cells and scratch assay revealed favorable migration potential. Proangiogenic Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)'s expression showed a gradual increase with increasing concentration of PS, whereas one composition demonstrated a slight increase in the expression of cytosolic prostaglandin E synthase (cPGES) as determined by RT‐PCR. Overall, an increase in PS content of the hydrogels resulted in simultaneously enhanced antibacterial efficiency and marked increase in fibroblast cell viability, hence, reiterating their potential as potent antibacterial agents that can be explored as wound healing agents. In conclusion, novel antibacterial thermo‐sensitive hydrogels were synthesized with a potential of regulating proangiogenic and tissue regeneration factors that highlight their role as wound healing agents.

Abstract
The wide accessibility to nanostructures with high uniformity and controllable sizes and morphologies provides great opportunities for creating complex superstructures with unique functionalities. Employing anisotropic nanostructures as the building blocks significantly enriches the superstructural phases, while their orientational control for obtaining long-range orders has remained a significant challenge. One solution is to introduce magnetic components into the anisotropic nanostructures to enable precise control of their orientations and positions in the superstructures by manipulating magnetic interactions. Recognizing the importance of magnetic anisotropy in colloidal assembly, we provide here an overview of magnetic field-guided self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles with typical anisotropic shapes, including rods, cubes, plates, and peanuts. The Review starts with discussing the magnetic energy of nanoparticles, appreciating the vital roles of magneto-crystalline and shape anisotropies in determining the easy magnetization direction of the anisotropic nanostructures. It then introduces superstructures assembled from various magnetic building blocks and summarizes their unique properties and intriguing applications. It concludes with a discussion of remaining challenges and an outlook of future research opportunities that the magnetic assembly strategy may offer for colloidal assembly.

Abstract
Retinoblastoma (Rb) represents 3% of all childhood malignancies and seriously endangers children's lives and quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment can save children's vision as much as possible. Multifunctional nanoparticles have become a research hotspot in recent years and are expected to realize the integration of early diagnosis and early treatment. Therefore, we report a nanoparticle with dual-mode imaging, photothermal therapy, and immune activation: carbonized MOF nanoparticles (CM NPs) loaded with the immune polypeptide tuftsin (CMT NPs). The dual-mode imaging ability, antitumor effect, and macrophage immunity activation ability of these nanoparticles combined with laser irradiation were studied. The biosafety of CMT NPs was detected. The multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles enhanced photoacoustic (PA) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in vivo and in vitro, facilitating diagnosis and efficacy evaluation. The combined effect of CMT NPs and laser irradiation was recorded and verified. Through the accumulation of magnetic field nanoparticles in tumors, the photothermal conversion of nanoparticles under laser irradiation led directly to tumor apoptosis/necrosis, and the release of tuftsin induced macrophage M1-type activation, resulting in antitumor immune effects. Enhanced PA/MR imaging CMT NPs have great potential in dual-mode image-guided laser/immune cotherapy. The nanoparticles have high biosafety and have potential in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have been widely used in biological imaging and treatments of various diseases, especially for studies of tumors, due to their high efficiency in drug delivery and many other functions. Metal-organic frameworks have been an important research area in recent years because of advantages such as large apertures, adjustable structural compositions, adjustable sizes, multifunctionality, high drug loading, good biocompatibility and so on, and they show promise as multifunctional drug carriers. In this study, a carbonized MOF with photothermal therapeutic potential and dual-mode imaging capability was prepared. The biophysical properties of MIL-100 and C-MIL nanoparticles were determined, such as particle size, zeta potential and saturation magnetization strength. CCK-8 cell assays and mouse HE sections confirmed that C-MIL nanoparticles have good in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility. The solution temperature of C-MIL nanoparticles reached 58.1 °C during sustained laser irradiation at 808 nm, which confirmed the photothermal potential of the nanoparticles. Moreover, in biological imaging, C-MIL nanoparticles showed the ability to support in vitro nuclear magnetic and photoacoustic dual-mode imaging. C-MIL nanoparticles provide new options for tumor therapy, drug delivery and biological imaging.

Several drug-delivery systems have been reported on and often successfully applied in cancer therapy. Cell-targeted delivery can reduce the overall toxicity of cytotoxic drugs and increase their effectiveness and selectivity. Besides traditional liposomal and micellar formulations, various nanocarrier systems have recently become the focus of developmental interest. This review discusses the preparation and targeting techniques as well as the properties of several liposome-, micelle-, solid-lipid nanoparticle-, dendrimer-, gold-, and magnetic-nanoparticle-based delivery systems. Approaches for targeted drug delivery and systems for drug release under a range of stimuli are also discussed.

Abstract
Small molecule drugs, including most chemotherapies, are rapidly degraded and/or eliminated from the body, which is why high doses of these drugs are necessary, potentially producing toxic effects. Several types of nanoparticles loaded with anti-cancer drugs have been designed to overcome the disadvantages of conventional therapies. Modified nanoparticles can circulate for a long time, thus improving the solubility and biodistribution of drugs. Furthermore, they also allow the controlled release of the payload once its target tissue has been reached. These mechanisms can reduce the exposure of healthy tissues to chemotherapeutics, since the drugs are only released in the presence of specific tumour stimuli. Overall, these properties can improve the effectiveness of treatments while reducing undesirable side effects. In this article, we review the recent advances in stimuli-responsive albumin, gold and magnetic nanostructures for controlled anti-cancer drug delivery. These nanostructures were designed to release drugs in response to different internal and external stimuli of the cellular environment, including pH, redox, light and magnetic fields. We also describe various examples of applications of these nanomaterials. Overall, we shed light on the properties, potential clinical translation and limitations of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been well-researched in the design and fabrication of advanced drug delivery systems (DDSs) due to their advantages such as good biocompatibility, large specific surface area and pore volume for drug loading, easily surface modification, adjusted size and good thermal/chemical stability. For MSN-based DDSs, gate materials are also necessary. And natural polysaccharides, one kind of the most abundant natural resource, have been widely applied as the "gatekeepers" in MSN-based DDSs. Polysaccharides are cheap and rich in sources with good biocompatibility, and some of them have important biological functions. In this review article, polysaccharides including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, sodium alginate and dextran, et al. are briefly introduced. And the preparation processes and properties such as controlled drug release, cancer targeting and disease diagnosis of functional polysaccharide/MSN-based DDSs are discussed.

Abstract
X-ray excited optical luminescence from nanophosphors can be used to selectively generate light in tissue for imaging and stimulating light-responsive materials and cells. Herein, we synthesized X-ray scintillating NaGdF4:Eu and Tb nanophosphors via co-precipitate and hydrothermal methods, encapsulated with silica, functionalized with biotin, and characterized by X-ray excited optical luminescence spectroscopy and imaging. The nanophosphors synthesized by co-precipitate method were ∼90 and ∼106 nm in diameter, respectively, with hydrothermally synthesized particles showing the highest luminescence intensity. More importantly, we investigated the effect of thermal annealing/calcination on the X-ray excited luminescence spectra and intensity. At above 1000 °C, the luminescence intensity increased, but particles fused together. Coating with a 15 nm thick silica shell prevented particle fusion and enabled silane-based chemical functionalization, although luminescence decreased largely due to the increased mass of non-luminescent material. We observed an increase in luminesce intensity with temperature until at 400 °C. At above 600 °C, NaGdF4:Eu@SiO2 converts to NaGd9Si6O26:Eu, an X-ray scintillator brighter than annealed NPs at 400 °C and dimmer than NPs synthesized using the hydrothermal method. The particles generate light through tissue and can be selectively excited using a focused X-ray source for imaging and light generation applications. The particles also act as MRI contrast agents for multi-modal localization.

Abstract
The atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)-based synthesis of a pH-sensitive fluorescent polymer (PSDMA-b-POEGMA) was successfully prepared using 3,6-dibromo-isobutyramide acridine (DIA), an initiator with a fluorescent chromophore, to initiate a lipophilic monomer 2-styryl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl methacrylate (SDMA) and a hydrophilic monomer oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (OEGMA), which contained a cinnamic aldehyde acetal structure. With the addition of hollow mesoporous silicon (HMS@C18), the pH-sensitive core–shell nanoparticles (HMS@C18@PSDMA-b-POEGMA) were developed via a self-assembly process as carriers for the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) for drug loading and controlled release. The nanocomposites showed a higher drug loading capacity which was much higher than that observed using common micelles. At the same time, the polymer coated on the surface of the nanoparticles contains the fluorescent segment of an initiator, which can be used for fluorescence contrast of the cells. The nanocomposite carrier selectively inhibits human melanoma cell A375 relative to human normal fibroblasts GM. The in vitro results suggested that a smart pH sensitive nanoparticles drug delivery system was successfully prepared for potential applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy. A pH-sensitive core–shell nanoparticle (HMS@C18@PSDMA-b-POEGMA) was developed via a self-assembly process as the carrier of anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) for drug loading and controlled release.![]()

Abstract
Magnetic nano/micro-particles based on clinoptilolite-type of natural zeolite (CZ) were fabricated and were expected to act as carriers for controlled drug delivery/release, imaging and local heating in biological systems. Adsorption of rhodamine B, sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine and hypericin by magnetic CZ nano/micro-particles was investigated, as was the release of hypericin. Using an alternating magnetic field, local temperature increase by 10 °C in animal tissue with injected magnetic CZ particles was demonstrated. In addition, the CZ-based particles have been found to exhibit an anti-amyloidogenic effect on the amyloid aggregation of insulin and lysozyme in a dose- and temperature-dependent manner. Therefore, the mesoporous structure of CZ particles provided a unique platform for preparation of multifunctional magnetic and optical probes suitable for optical imaging, MRI, thermo- and phototherapy and as effective containers for controlled drug delivery. We concluded that magnetic CZ nano/micro-particles could be evaluated for further application in cancer hyperthermia therapy and as anti-amyloidogenic agents.

Abstract
Nitroxide-based organic-radical contrast agents (ORCAs) are promising as safe, next-generation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tools. Nevertheless, stimuli-responsive ORCAs that enable MRI monitoring of prodrug activation have not been reported; such systems could open new avenues for prodrug validation and image-guided drug delivery. Here, we introduce a novel "pro-ORCA" concept that addresses this challenge. By covalent conjugation of nitroxides and drug molecules (doxorubicin, DOX) to the same brush-arm star polymer (BASP) through chemically identical cleavable linkers, we demonstrate that pro-ORCA and prodrug activation, i.e., ORCA and DOX release, leads to significant changes in MRI contrast that correlate with cytotoxicity. This approach is shown to be general for a range of commonly used linker cleavage mechanisms (e.g., photolysis and hydrolysis) and release rates. Pro-ORCAs could find applications as research tools or clinically viable "reporter theranostics" for in vitro and in vivo MRI-correlated prodrug activation.

Abstract
Multilayer capsules have been of great interest for scientists and medical communities in multidisciplinary fields of research, such as drug delivery, sensing, biomedicine, theranostics and gene therapy. The most essential attributes of a drug delivery system are considered to be multi-functionality and stimuli responsiveness against a range of external and internal stimuli. Apart from the highly explored strong polyelectrolytes, weak polyelectrolytes offer great versatility with a highly controllable architecture, unique stimuli responsiveness and easy tuning of the properties for intracellular delivery of cargo. This review describes the progress in the preparation, functionalization and applications of capsules made of weak polyelectrolytes or their combination with biopolymers. The selection of a sacrificial template for capsule formation, the driving forces involved, the encapsulation of a variety of cargo and release based on different internal and external stimuli have also been addressed. We describe recent perspectives and obstacles of weak polyelectrolyte/biopolymer systems in applications such as therapeutics, biosensing, bioimaging, bioreactors, vaccination, tissue engineering and gene delivery. This review gives an emerging outlook on the advantages and unique responsiveness of weak polyelectrolyte based systems that can enable their widespread use in potential applications.

Abstract
In the last years, hematite has been utilized in a plethora of applications. High aspect-ratio nanohematite and hematite/silica core-shell nanostructures are arousing growing interest for applications exploiting their magnetic properties. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is utilized here to produce SiO2-coated α-Fe2O3 nanofibers (NFs) through two synthetic routes, viz. electrospinning/calcination/ALD or electrospinning/ALD/calcination. The number of ALD cycles (10-100) modulates the coating thickness, while the chosen route controls the final nanostructure. Porous and partially hollow NFs are produced. Their hierarchical structure and the nature and density of the lattice defects and strain are characterized by combining electron microscopy, diffraction, and spectroscopy techniques. The uncoated hematite NFs mostly have surface-related strain, which is attributed to oxygen vacancies/Fe2+ sites. ALD coating causes microstrain release and decrease of surface states. NFs calcined after ALD have extensive bulk strain, which is ascribed to the presence of dislocations throughout the volume of the NF grains. Bulk strain determines the remanent magnetization, whereas both surface and bulk strain influence the coercive field and the thermal behavior across the Morin temperature, including the magnetic memory effect. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the correlation between lattice defects/strain and magnetic properties of SiO2-coated α-Fe2O3 NFs has never been reported before.

Abstract
In the framework of novel medical paradigm the red blood cells (RBCs) have a great potential to be used as drug delivery carriers. This approach requires an ultimate understanding of the peculiarities of mutual interaction of RBC influenced by nano-materials composed the drugs. Optical tweezers (OT) is widely used to explore mechanisms of cells' interaction with the ability to trap non-invasively, manipulate and displace living cells with a notably high accuracy. In the current study, the mutual interaction of RBC with polymeric nano-capsules (NCs) is investigated utilizing a two-channel OT system. The obtained results suggest that, in the presence of NCs, the RBC aggregation in plasma satisfies the 'cross-bridges' model. Complementarily, the allocation of NCs on the RBC membrane was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while for assessment of NCs-induced morphological changes the tests with the human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) was performed. The combined application of OT and advanced microscopy approaches brings new insights into the conception of direct observation of cells interaction influenced by NCs for the estimation of possible cytotoxic effects.

Abstract
Yolk-shell nanostructures (YSNs) composed of a core within a hollow cavity surrounded by a porous outer shell have received tremendous research interest owing to their unique structural features, fascinating physicochemical properties, and widespread potential applications. Here, a comprehensive overview of the design, synthesis, and biomedical applications of YSNs is presented. The synthetic strategies toward YSNs are divided into four categories, including hard-templating, soft-templating, self-templating, and multimethod combination synthesis. For the hard- or soft-templating strategies, different types of rigid or vesicle templates are used for making YSNs. For the self-templating strategy, a number of unconventional synthetic methods without additional templates are introduced. For the multimethod combination strategy, various methods are applied together to produce YSNs that cannot be obtained directly by only a single method. The biomedical applications of YSNs including biosensing, bioimaging, drug/gene delivery, and cancer therapy are discussed in detail. Moreover, the potential superiority of YSNs for these applications is also highlighted. Finally, some perspectives on the future research and development of YSNs are provided.

Abstract
An engineered metallic nanostructure is an excellent candidate for "theranosis" of cancer, having intrinsic properties of multimodal imaging and therapy. Toward this target, the development of silver-neodymium bimetallic nanoparticles (Ag-Nd BNPs) via microwave-assisted polyol synthesis is presented. The resultant Ag-Nd BNPs exhibit good monodispersity with average size of 10 nm, fluorescence in the near-infrared (NIR) region, and magnetic properties. The Ag-Nd BNPs also validate MRI, CT, and NIR trimodal imaging ability and enunciate valuable temperature response upon irradiation under a NIR laser. Aided by chitosan functionalization on the surface, the Ag-Nd BNPs deliver good biocompatibility and also promote the loading of paclitaxel, an anticancer drug. Isothermal titration calorimetry affirms the combination of strong binding affinity of drug and high loading efficiency of 7 drug molecules per nanoparticle. Moreover, Ag-Nd BNPs also illustrate a highly efficient photothermal effect in PBS. Therefore, the synergistic effects of paclitaxel and the photothermal effect make BNPs excellent "combined therapeutic agents", and also give them the important ability to destroy cancer cells in vitro at very low dose in comparison to single therapy. Thus, the Ag-Nd BNPs unveil a combination of MRI/CT/NIR imaging and chemo-photothermal therapy that ensures accurate diagnosis at an early stage and comprehensive eradication of tumor cells without affecting healthy cells.

Abstract
Membranes are important components in a number of systems, where separation and control of the flow of molecules is desirable. Controllable membranes represent an even more coveted and desirable entity and their development is considered to be the next step of development. Typically, membranes are considered on flat surfaces, but spherical capsules possess a perfect "infinite" or fully suspended membranes. Similarities and transitions between spherical and flat membranes are discussed, while applications of membranes are also emphasized.

Abstract
A facile, efficient, and versatile approach is presented to synthesize pH-responsive nanocapsules (∼120 nm) by combining the advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and metal-organic thin films. ZIF-8 nanoparticles are used as templates on which a thin film coating of iron(III)-catechol complexes is derived from the coordination between dopamine-modified alginate (AlgDA) and iron(III) ions. After the template removal, nanocapsules with a pH-responsive wall are obtained. Doxorubicin (Dox), a typical anticancer drug, is first immobilized in ZIF-8 frameworks through coprecipitation and then encapsulated in nanocapsules after the removal of ZIF-8. The structure of the iron(III)-catechol complex varies with pH value, thus conferring the Dox@Nanocapsules with tailored release behavior in vitro. Cytotoxicity tests illustrate the highly effective cytotoxicity of Dox@Nanocapsules towards cancer cells. This study provides a new method for preparing smart nanocapsules and offers more opportunities for the controlled delivery of drugs.

Abstract
In vivo imaging, which enables us to peer deeply within living subjects, is producing tremendous opportunities both for clinical diagnostics and as a research tool. Contrast material is often required to clearly visualize the functional architecture of physiological structures. Recent advances in nanomaterials are becoming pivotal to generate the high-resolution, high-contrast images needed for accurate, precision diagnostics. Nanomaterials are playing major roles in imaging by delivering large imaging payloads, yielding improved sensitivity, multiplexing capacity, and modularity of design. Indeed, for several imaging modalities, nanomaterials are now not simply ancillary contrast entities, but are instead the original and sole source of image signal that make possible the modality's existence. We address the physicochemical makeup/design of nanomaterials through the lens of the physical properties that produce contrast signal for the cognate imaging modality-we stratify nanomaterials on the basis of their (i) magnetic, (ii) optical, (iii) acoustic, and/or (iv) nuclear properties. We evaluate them for their ability to provide relevant information under preclinical and clinical circumstances, their in vivo safety profiles (which are being incorporated into their chemical design), their modularity in being fused to create multimodal nanomaterials (spanning multiple different physical imaging modalities and therapeutic/theranostic capabilities), their key properties, and critically their likelihood to be clinically translated.

Abstract
A smart magnetic-targeting drug carrier γ-Fe2O3@p-silica comprising a γ-Fe2O3 core and porous shell has been prepared and characterized. The particles have a uniform size of about 60 nm, and a porous shell of thickness 3 nm. Abundant hydroxyl groups and a large surface area enabled the γ-Fe2O3@p-silica to be readily loaded with a large payload of the basic model drug rhodamine B (RB) (up to 73 mg g-1). Cytotoxicity assays of the γ-Fe2O3@p-silica particles indicated that the particles were biocompatible and suitable for carrying drugs. It was found that the RB was released rapidly at pH 5.5 but at pH 7.4 the rate and extent of release was greatly attenuated. The particles therefore demonstrate an excellent pH-triggered drug release. In addition, the γ-Fe2O3@p-silica particles could be tracked by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A clear dose-dependent contrast enhancement in both T 1-weighted and T 2-weighted MR images indicated the potential of the γ-Fe2O3@p-silica particles to act as dual-mode T 1 and T 2 MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Current wound sealing systems such as nanoparticle-based gluing of tissues allow almost immediate wound sealing. The assistance of a laser beam allows the wound sealing with higher controllability due to the collagen fiber melting which is defined by loss of tertiary protein structure and restoration upon cooling. Usually one employs dyes to paint onto the wound, if water absorption bands are absent. In case of strong bleeding or internal wounds such applications are not feasible due to low welding depth in case of water absorption bands, dyes washing off, or the dyes becoming diluted within the wound. One possible solution of these drawbacks is to use autonomously movable particles composing of biocompatible gold and magnetite nanoparticles and biocompatible polyelectrolyte complexes. In this paper a proof of principle study is presented on the utilization of thermophoretic Janus particles and capsules employed as dyes for infrared laser-assisted tissue welding. This approach proves to be efficient in sealing the wound on the mouse in vivo. The temperature measurement of single particle level proves successful photothermal heating, while the mechanical characterizations of welded liver, skin, and meat confirm mechanical restoration of the welded biological samples.

Abstract
Implantable localized drug delivery systems (LDDSs) with intelligent functionalities have emerged as a powerful chemotherapeutic platform in curing cancer. Developing LDDSs with rationally controlled drug release and real-time monitoring functionalities holds promise for personalized therapeutic protocols but suffers daunting challenges. To overcome such challenges, a series of porous Yb(3+)/Er(3+) codoped CaTiO3 (CTO:Yb,Er) nanofibers, with specifically designed surface functionalization, were synthesized for doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. The content of DOX released could be optically monitored by increase in the intensity ratio of green to red emission (I550/I660) of upconversion photoluminescent nanofibers under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) excitation owing to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect between DOX molecules and the nanofibers. More importantly, the 808 nm NIR irradiation enabled markedly accelerated DOX release, confirming representative NIR-triggered drug release properties. In consequence, such CTO:Yb,Er nanofibers presented significantly enhanced in vitro anticancer efficacy under NIR irradiation. This study has thus inspired another promising fibrous LDDS platform with NIR-triggered and optics-monitored DOX releasing for personalized tumor chemotherapy.

Abstract
ZnO quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized with polymer shells, coordinated with Gd(3+) ions and adsorbed doxorubicin (DOX) together to form a new kind of multifunctional ZnO-Gd-DOX nanoplatform. Such pH sensitive nanoplatforms were shown to release DOX to cancer cells in vitro and to mouse tumors in vivo, and reveal better specificity and lower toxicity than free DOX, and even better therapeutic efficacy than an FDA approved commercial DOX-loading drug DOX-Liposome Injection (DOXIL, NDA#050718). The ZnO-Gd-DOX nanoplatforms exhibited strong red fluorescence, which benefited the fluorescent imaging on live mice. Due to the special structure of ZnO-Gd-DOX nanoparticles, such nanoplatforms possessed a high longitudinal relaxivity r1 of 52.5 mM(-1) s(-1) at 0.55 T, which was superior to many other Gd(3+) based nanoparticles. Thus, both fluorescence labeling and magnetic resonance imaging could be applied simultaneously on the tumor bearing mice along with drug delivery. After 36 days of treatment on these mice, ZnO-Gd-DOX nanoparticles greatly inhibited the tumor growth without causing any appreciable abnormality in major organs. The most important merit of ZnO-Gd-DOX was that such a nanoplatform was biodegraded completely and showed no toxic side effects after H&E (hematoxylin and eosin) staining of tumor slices and ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry) bioanalyses.

Abstract
We recently developed a novel approach for making oil-core silica-shell nanocapsules using designed bifunctional peptides (also called biomineralizing peptide surfactants) having both surface activity and biomineralization activity. Using the bifunctional peptides, oil-in-water nanoemulsion templates can be readily prepared, followed by the silicification directed exclusively onto the oil droplet surfaces and thus the formation of the silica shell. To explore their roles in the synthesis of silica nanocapsules, two bifunctional peptides, AM1 and SurSi, were systematically studied and compared. Peptide AM1, which was designed as a stimuli-responsive surfactant, demonstrated quick adsorption kinetics with a rapid decrease in the oil-water interfacial tension, thus resulting in the formation of nanoemulsions with a droplet size as small as 38 nm. Additionally, the nanoemulsions showed good stability over 4 weeks because of the formation of a histidine-Zn(2+) interfacial network. In comparison, the SurSi peptide that was designed by modularizing an AM1-like surface-active module with a highly cationic biosilicification-active module was unable to effectively reduce the oil-water interfacial tension because of its high molecular charge at neutral pH. The slow adsorption resulted in the formation of less stable nanoemulsions with a larger size (60 nm) than that of AM1. Besides, both AM1 and SurSi were found to be able to induce biomimetic silica formation. SurSi produced well-dispersed and uniform silica nanospheres in the bulk solution, whereas AM1 generated only irregular silica aggregates. Consequently, well-defined silica nanocapsules were synthesized using SurSi nanoemulsion templates, whereas silica aggregates instead of nanocapsules predominated when templating AM1 nanoemulsions. This finding indicated that the capability of peptide surfactants to form isolated silica nanospheres might play a role in the successful fabrication of silica nanocapsules. This fundamental study provides insights into the design of bifunctional peptides for making silica nanocapsules.

Abstract
We report the versatile design of a smart nanoplatform for thermo-chemotherapy treatment of cancer. For the first time in the literature, our design takes advantage of the outstanding properties of mussel-inspired multiple catecholic groups - presenting a unique copolymer poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-dopamine methacrylamide) p(HEMA-co-DMA) to surface functionalize the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as well as to conjugate borate containing anticancer drug bortezomib (BTZ) in a pH-dependent manner for the synergistic anticancer treatment. The unique multiple anchoring groups can be used to substantially improve the affinity of the ligands to the surfaces of the nanoparticles to form ultrastable iron oxide nanoparticles with control over their hydrodynamic diameter and interfacial chemistry. Thus the BTZ-incorporated-bio-inspired-smart magnetic nanoplatform will act as a hyperthermic agent that delivers heat when an alternating magnetic field is applied while the BTZ-bound catechol moieties act as chemotherapeutic agents in a cancer environment by providing pH-dependent drug release for the synergistic thermo-chemotherapy application. The anticancer efficacy of these bio-inspired multifunctional smart magnetic nanoparticles was tested both in vitro and in vivo and found that these unique magnetic nanoplatforms can be established to endow for the next generation of nanomedicine for efficient and safe cancer therapy.
