Abstract
Gold-based nanoparticles hold promise as functional nanomedicines, including in combination with a photothermal effect for cancer therapy in conjunction with chemotherapy. Here, we synthesized hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNPs) exhibiting efficient light absorption in the near-IR (NIR) region. Several synthesis conditions were explored and provided monodisperse HGNPs approximately 95-135 nm in diameter with a light absorbance range of approximately 600-720 nm. The HGNPs were hollow and the surface had protruding structures when prepared using high concentrations of HAuCl4. The simultaneous nucleation of a sacrificial AgCl template and Au nanoparticles may affect the resulting HGNPs. Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) is metabolized from disulfiram and is a repurposed drug currently attracting attention. The chelation of DDTC with copper ion (DDTC-Cu) has been investigated for treating glioma, and here we confirmed the cytotoxic effect of DDTC-Cu towards rat C6 glioma cells in vitro. HGNPs alone were biocompatible and showed little cytotoxicity, whereas a mixture of DDTC-Cu and HGNPs was cytotoxic in a dose dependent manner. The temperature of HGNPs was increased by NIR-laser irradiation. The photothermal effect on HGNPs under NIR-laser irradiation resulted in cytotoxicity towards C6 cells and was dependent on the irradiation time. Photothermal therapy by HGNPs combined and DDTC-Cu was highly effective, suggesting that this combination approach hold promise as a future glioma therapy.

Abstract
Antiviral vaccine is essential for preventing and controlling virus spreading, along with declining morbidity and mortality. A major challenge in effective vaccination lies in the ability to enhance both the humoral and cellular immune responses by adjuvants. Herein, self-assembled nanoparticles based on graphene oxide quantum dots with components of carnosine, resiquimod and Zn2+ ions, namely ZnGC-R, are designed as a new adjuvant for influenza vaccine. With its high capability for antigen-loading, ZnGC-R enhances antigen utilization, improves DC recruitment, and activates antigen-presenting cells. Single cell analysis of lymphocytes after intramuscular vaccination revealed that ZnGC-R generated multifaceted immune responses. ZnGC-R stimulated robust CD4+CCR7loPD-1hi Tfh and durable CD8+CD44hiCD62L- TEM immune responses, and simultaneously promoted the proliferation of CD26+ germinal center B cells. Besides, ZnGC-R elicited 2.53-fold higher hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody than commercial-licensed aluminum salt adjuvant. ZnGC-R based vaccine induced 342% stronger IgG antibody responses compared with vaccines with inactivated virus alone, leading to 100% in vivo protection efficacy against the H1N1 influenza virus challenge.

Abstract
The use of nucleic acid to control the expression of genes relevant to tumor progression is a key therapeutic approach in cancer research. Therapeutics based on nucleic acid provide novel concepts for untreatable targets. Nucleic acids as molecular medications must enter the target cell to be effective and obstacles in the systemic delivery of DNA or RNA limit their use in a clinical setting. The creation of nucleic acid delivery systems based on nanoparticles in order to circumvent biological constraints is advancing quickly. The ease of synthesis and surface modification, biocompatibility, biodegradability, cost-effectiveness and high loading capability of nucleic acids have prompted the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) in gene therapy. The unique surface features of MSNs facilitate their design and decoration for high loading of nucleic acids, immune system evasion, cancer cell targeting, controlled cargo release, and endosomal escape. Reports have demonstrated successful therapeutic outcomes with the administration of a variety of engineered MSNs capable of delivering genes to tumor sites in laboratory animals. This comprehensive review of studies about siRNA, miRNA, shRNA, lncRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 delivery by MSNs reveals engineered MSNs as a safe and efficient system for gene transfer to cancer cells and cancer mouse models.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials as drug carriers and photosensitizers have emerged as a promising antitumor strategy. However, our understanding of 2D antitumor nanomaterials is limited to intrinsic properties or additive modification of different materials. Subtractive structural engineering of 2D nanomaterials for better antitumor efficacy is largely overlooked. Here, subtractively engineered 2D MXenes with uniformly distributed nanopores are synthesized. The nanoporous defects endowed MXene with enhanced surface plasmon resonance effect for better optical absorbance performance and strong exciton-phonon coupling for higher photothermal conversion efficiency. In addition, porous structure improves the binding ability between drug and unsaturated bonds, thus promoting drug-loading capacity and reducing uncontrolled drug release. Furthermore, the porous structure provides adhesion sites for filopodia, thereby promoting the cellular internalization of the drug. Clinically, osteosarcoma is the most common bone malignancy routinely treated with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy. There have been no significant treatment advances in the past decade. As a proof-of-concept, nanoporous MXene loaded with doxorubicin is developed for treating human osteosarcoma cells. The porous MXene platform results in a higher amount of doxorubicin-loading, faster near-infrared (NIR)-controlled doxorubicin release, higher photothermal efficacy under NIR irradiation, and increased cell adhesion and internalization. This facile method pioneers a new paradigm for enhancing 2D material functions and is attractive for tumor treatment.

Abstract
MXenes and graphene are two-dimensional materials that have gained increasing attention in neuroscience, particularly in sensing, theranostics, and biomedical engineering. Various composites of graphene and MXenes with fascinating thermal, optical, magnetic, mechanical, and electrical properties have been introduced to develop advanced nanosystems for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, as exemplified in the case of biosensors for neurotransmitter detection. These biosensors display high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, making them promising tools for neuroscience research. MXenes have been employed to create high-resolution neural interfaces for neuroelectronic devices, develop neuro-receptor-mediated synapse devices, and stimulate the electrophysiological maturation of neural circuits. On the other hand, graphene/derivatives exhibit therapeutic applicability in neuroscience, as exemplified in the case of graphene oxide for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain. While MXenes and graphene have potential benefits in neuroscience, there are also challenges/limitations associated with their use, such as toxicity, environmental impacts, and limited understanding of their properties. In addition, large-scale production and commercialization as well as optimization of reaction/synthesis conditions and clinical translation studies are very important aspects. Thus, it is important to consider the use of these materials in neuroscience research and conduct further research to obtain an in-depth understanding of their properties and potential applications. By addressing issues related to biocompatibility, long-term stability, targeted delivery, electrical interfaces, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, MXenes and graphene have the potential to greatly advance the field of neuroscience and pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for neurological disorders. Herein, recent advances in therapeutic and diagnostic applications of graphene- and MXene-based materials in neuroscience are discussed, focusing on important challenges and future prospects.

Abstract
We report simulations of chitosan polysaccharides in the aqueous phase, at infinite dilute conditions and zero ionic strength. Those simulations are performed by means of a polarizable multiscale modeling scheme that relies on a polarizable all atom force field to model solutes and on a polarizable solvent coarse grained approach. Force field parameters are assigned only from quantum chemistry ab initio data. We simulate chitosan monomer units, dimers and 50-long chains. Regarding the 50-long chains we simulate three sets of ten randomly built chain replica at three different pH conditions (corresponding to different chain protonation states, the chain degree of deacetylation is 85%). Our simulations show the persistence length of 50-long chitosan chains at strong acidic conditions (pH <5) to be 24 ± 2 nm (at weak/negligible ionic strength conditions), and to be 1 order of magnitude shorter at usual pH conditions. Our simulation data support the most recent simulation and experimental studies devoted to chitosan polysaccharides in the aqueous phase.

Abstract
Solid tumors are abnormal mass of tissue, which affects the organs based on its malignancy and leads to the dysfunction of the affected organs. The major problem associated with treatment of solid tumors is delivering anticancer therapeutics to the deepest layers/core of the solid tumor. Deposition of excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) hinders the therapeutics to travel towards the core of the tumor. Therefore, conventional anticancer therapeutics can only reduce the tumor size and that also for a limited duration, and tumor recurrence occurs once the therapy is discontinued. Additionally, by the time the cancer is diagnosed, the cancer cells already started affecting the major organs of the body such as lung, liver, spleen, kidney, and brain, due to their ability to metastasize and lung is the primary site for them to be infiltrated. To facilitate the anticancer therapeutics to penetrate the deeper layers of tumor, and to provide concurrent treatment of both the solid tumor and metastasis, we have designed and developed a Bimodal Light Assisted Skin Tumor and Metastasis Treatment (BLAST), which is a combination of photothermal and chemotherapeutic moieties. The BLAST is composed of 2D boron nitride (BN) nanosheet with adsorbed molecules of BCL-2 inhibitor, Navitoclax (NAVI) on its surface, that can breakdown excessive ECM network and thereby facilitate dissociation of the solid tumor. The developed BLAST was evaluated for its ability to penetrate solid tumors using 3D spheroids for the uptake, cytotoxicity, growth inhibition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection, penetration, and downregulation of proteins upon laser irradiation. The in vivo therapeutic studies on a skin cancer mice model revealed that the BLAST with and without laser were able to penetrate the solid tumor, reduce tumor volume in mice, dissociate the protein network, and prevent lung metastasis as confirmed by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. Post analysis of serum and blood components revealed the safety and efficacy of BLAST in mice. Hence, the developed BLAST holds strong promise in solid tumor treatment and metastasis prevention simultaneously.

[PMID: 37390711 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023] Open
Abstract
At present, cancer remains one of the leading causes of human death worldwide, and surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are still the main methods of cancer treatment. However, these treatments have their drawbacks. Surgical treatment often struggles with the complete removal of tumor tissue, leading to a high risk of cancer recurrence. Additionally, chemotherapy drugs have a significant impact on overall health and can easily result in drug resistance. The high risk and mortality of cancer and other reasons promote scientific researchers to unremittingly develop and find a more accurate and faster diagnosis strategy and effective cancer treatment method. Photothermal therapy, which utilizes near-infrared light, offers deeper tissue penetration and minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Compared to conventional radiotherapy and other treatment methods, photothermal therapy boasts several advantages, including high efficiency, non-invasiveness, simplicity, minimal toxicity, and fewer side effects. Photothermal nanomaterials can be categorized as either organic or inorganic materials. This review primarily focuses on the behavior of carbon materials as inorganic materials and their role in tumor photothermal treatment. Furthermore, the challenges faced by carbon materials in photothermal treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Rapid progress in nanotechnology has advanced fundamental neuroscience and innovative treatment using combined diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The atomic scale tunability of nanomaterials, which can interact with biological systems, has attracted interest in emerging multidisciplinary fields. Graphene, a two-dimensional nanocarbon, has gained increasing attention in neuroscience due to its unique honeycomb structure and functional properties. Hydrophobic planar sheets of graphene can be effectively loaded with aromatic molecules to produce a defect-free and stable dispersion. The optical and thermal properties of graphene make it suitable for biosensing and bioimaging applications. In addition, graphene and its derivatives functionalized with tailored bioactive molecules can cross the blood-brain barrier for drug delivery, substantially improving their biological property. Therefore, graphene-based materials have promising potential for possible application in neuroscience. Herein, we aimed to summarize the important properties of graphene materials required for their application in neuroscience, the interaction between graphene-based materials and various cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and their potential clinical applications in recording electrodes, drug delivery, treatment, and as nerve scaffolds for neurological diseases. Finally, we offer insights into the prospects and limitations to aid graphene development in neuroscience research and nanotherapeutics that can be used clinically.

Abstract
Glioma is one of the most serious central nervous system diseases, with high mortality and poor prognosis. Despite the continuous development of existing treatment methods, the median survival time of glioma patients is still only 15 months. The main treatment difficulties are the invasive growth of glioma and the obstruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to drugs. With rapid advancements in nanotechnology, inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) have shown favourable application prospects in the diagnosis and treatment of glioma. Due to their extraordinary intrinsic features, INPs can be easily fabricated, while doping with other elements and surface modification by biological ligands can be used to enhance BBB penetration, targeted delivery and biocompatibility. Guided glioma theranostics with INPs can improve and enhance the efficacy of traditional methods such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and gene therapy. New strategies, such as immunotherapy, photothermal and photodynamic therapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and multifunctional inorganic nanoplatforms, have also been facilitated by INPs. This review emphasizes the current state of research and clinical applications of INPs, including glioma targeting and BBB penetration enhancement methods, in vivo and in vitro biocompatibility, and diagnostic and treatment strategies. As such, it provides insights for the development of novel glioma treatment strategies.

Abstract
A variety of nanomaterials have been developed specifically for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery in cancer treatment. These materials involve both synthetic and natural nanoparticles and nanofibers of varying dimensions. The efficacy of a drug delivery system (DDS) depends on its biocompatibility, intrinsic high surface area, high interconnected porosity, and chemical functionality. Recent advances in metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructures have led to the achievement of these desirable features. MOFs consist of metal ions and organic linkers that are assembled in different geometries and can be produced in 0, 1, 2, or 3 dimensions. The defining features of MOFs are their outstanding surface area, interconnected porosity, and variable chemical functionality, which enable an endless range of modalities for loading drugs into their hierarchical structures. MOFs, coupled with biocompatibility requisites, are now regarded as highly successful DDSs for the treatment of diverse diseases. This review aims to present the development and applications of DDSs based on chemically-functionalized MOF nanostructures in the context of cancer treatment. A concise overview of the structure, synthesis, and mode of action of MOF-DDS is provided.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an alternative treatment mainly for cancer but also for bacterial infections. This treatment dates back to 1900 when a German medical school graduate Oscar Raab found a photodynamic effect while doing research for his doctoral dissertation with Professor Hermann von Tappeiner. Unexpectedly, Raab revealed that the toxicity of acridine on paramecium depends on the intensity of light in his laboratory. Photodynamic therapy is therefore based on the administration of a photosensitizer with subsequent light irradiation within the absorption maxima of this substance followed by reactive oxygen species formation and finally cell death. Although this treatment is not a novelty, there is an endeavor for various modifications to the therapy. For example, selectivity and efficiency of the photosensitizer, as well as irradiation with various types of light sources are still being modified to improve final results of the photodynamic therapy. The main aim of this review is to summarize anticancer and antibacterial modifications, namely various compounds, approaches, and techniques, to enhance the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
With the development of materials science, photodynamic-based treatments have gradually entered clinics. Photodynamic therapy is ideal for cancer treatment due to its non-invasive and spatiotemporal properties and is the first to be widely promoted in clinical practice. However, the shortcomings resulting from the gap between technical and clinical demands, such as phototoxicity, low tissue permeability, and tissue hypoxia, limit its wide applications. This article reviews the available data regarding the pharmacological and clinical factors affecting the efficacy of photodynamic therapy, such as photosensitizers and oxygen supply, disease diagnosis, and other aspects of photodynamic therapy. In addition, the synergistic treatment of photodynamic therapy with surgery and nanotechnology is also discussed, which is expected to provide inspiration for the design of photodynamic therapy strategies.

Abstract
Injured bone regeneration requires a systemically and carefully orchestrated series of events involving inflammation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Thus, we designed a multifunctional cell-supporting and drug-retarding dual-pore system: cell-free fat extract (Ceffe)-mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)@poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) (Ceffe-MSN@PLGA) to mimic the developmental spatial structure, the microenvironment of bone regeneration and integration during injured bone regeneration. In this system, a macroporous scaffold (pore size 200-250 μm) of PLGA is combined with mesoporous MSN (pore size 2-50 nm), aiming at realizing the slow release of Ceffe. Besides, PLGA and MSN are used to recruit the temporary support of cells that are able to degrade simultaneously with bone regeneration and provide space for bone tissue regeneration. And the Ceffe isolated from fresh human adipose tissue has a therapeutic effect in regulating the important functions of early inflammatory cell transformation, neovascularization and eventual osteogenic differentiation. Our results suggest that the mesoporous and macroporous Ceffe-MSN@PLGA system represents a promising strategy to better fit the regeneration of injured bone tissue.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) represents the most common and fatal form of primary invasive brain tumors as it affects a great number of patients each year and has a median overall survival of approximately 14.6 months after diagnosis. Despite intensive treatment, almost all patients with GBM experience recurrence, and their 5-year survival rate is approximately 5%. At present, the main clinical treatment strategy includes surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, tumor heterogeneity, blood-brain barrier, glioma stem cells, and DNA damage repair mechanisms hinder efficient GBM treatment. The emergence of nanometer-scale diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in cancer medicine due to the establishment of nanotechnology provides novel and promising tools that will allow us to overcome these difficulties. This review summarizes the application and recent progress in nanotechnology-based monotherapies (e.g., chemotherapy) and combination cancer treatment strategies (chemotherapy-based combined cancer therapy) for GBM and describes the synergistic enhancement between these combination therapies as well as the current standard therapy for brain cancer and its deficiencies. These combination therapies that can reduce individual drug-related toxicities and significantly enhance therapeutic efficiency have recently undergone rapid development.

Abstract
Protein therapy has been considered to be one of the most direct and safe ways to regulate cell function and treat tumors. However, safe and effective intracellular delivery of protein drugs is still a key challenge. Herein, we developed a tannic acid-assisted biomineralization strategy for the encapsulation and intracellular delivery of protein drugs. RNase A and glucose oxidase (GOD) were choose as the protein drug model. RNase A, GOD, TA, and Mn2+ are mixed in one pot to attain RG@MT, and CaCO3 coating is subsequently carried out to construct RG@MT@C through biomineralization. Once RG@MT@C is endocytosed, the acidic environment of the lysosome will dissolve the protective layer of CaCO3 and produce plenty of CO2 to cause lysosome bursting, ensuring the lysosome escape of the RG@MT@C and thus releasing the generated TA-Mn2+, RNase A, and GOD into the cytoplasm. The released substances would activate starvation therapy, chemodynamic therapy, and protein therapy pathways to ensure a high performance of cancer therapy. Due to simple preparation, low toxicity, and controlled release in the tumor microenvironment, we expect it can realize efficient and nondestructive delivery of protein drugs and meet the needs for precise, high performance of synergistically antitumor therapy in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanostructures made entirely of DNAs display great potential as chemotherapeutic drug carriers but so far cannot achieve sufficient clinic therapy outcomes due to off-target toxicity. In this contribution, an aptamer-embedded hierarchical DNA nanocluster (Apt-eNC) is constructed as an intelligent carrier for cancer-targeted drug delivery. Specifically, Apt-eNC is designed to have a built-in reserve pool in the interior cavity from which aptamers may move outward to function as needed. When surface aptamers are degraded, ones in reserve pool can move outward to offer the compensation, thereby magically preserving tumor-targeting performance in vivo. Even if withstanding extensive aptamer depletion, Apt-eNC displays a 115-fold enhanced cell targeting compared with traditional counterparts and at least 60-fold improved tumor accumulation. Moreover, one Apt-eNC accommodates 5670 chemotherapeutic agents. As such, when systemically administrated into HeLa tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mouse model, drug-loaded Apt-eNC significantly inhibits tumor growth without systemic toxicity, holding great promise for high precision therapy.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a devastating malignant neoplasm that seriously threatens human health. After an osteosarcoma resection, the simultaneous treatment of tumor recurrence, postoperative infection, and large bone loss remains a formidable challenge clinically. Herein, a versatile multiscale therapeutic platform (Fs-BP-DOX@PDA) is engineered based on NiTi alloys with versatile properties for near-infrared (NIR)-mediated osteosarcoma synergistic photothermo-chemotherapy, bone regeneration, and bacterial elimination. First, an intriguing method for fabricating groovelike micro-nanostructures (Fs-NiTi) through femtosecond laser direct writing to enhance osseointegration with strong contact guidance is proposed. Then, black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets as gratifying photothermal conversion agents, osteogenetic agents, and a drug delivery platform are decorated on Fs-NiTi to construct multiscale hierarchical structures (Fs-BP). Finally, the polydopamine (PDA) modification is utilized to enhance the photothermal performance, biocompatibility, and chemical stability of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded Fs-BP and endow NIR/pH-dual-responsive DOX release properties. Fs-BP-DOX@PDA effectively induces tumor cell (Saos-2 and MDA-MB-231) death in vitro, completely eradicates osteosarcoma in mice, and observably promotes bone-regeneration bioactivity. Furthermore, it possesses prominent antibacterial efficiencies toward Staphylococcus aureus (99.2%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (99.6%). Overall, this work presents a smart comprehensive fabrication methodology to construct a versatile multiscale therapeutic platform for multimodal osteosarcoma treatment and biomedical tissue engineering.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy are developing as a promising clinical strategy but it urgently needs the high exploration of intelligent multifunctional drug delivery nanovectors. In this paper, we used a versatile method to construct mesoporous polydopamine nanovehicles (MPDA) with the dendritic mesopores loaded with a clinical chemotherapeutic drug, Doxorubicin (MPDA@DOX). The monodisperse nanoagents are spherical with a size of ∼160 nm and pore size of approximately 10 nm. MPDA could efficiently delivery DOX with π-π stacking interaction and acts as the potent photothermal agents. Importantly, MPDA@DOX are preferentially internalized by cancerous cells, then bursting drug release and local hyperthermia generation were observed in conditions representative of the cytoplasm in tumor cells that highly synergistic cell killing effect were found under 808 nm laser irradiation. The fluorescent imaging results of human breast tumor bearing murine model evidenced that MPDA delivery platform have excellent tumor precise targeting effect and in vivo tumor ablation experiment further revealed that MPDA@DOX showed markedly eradicated tumor growth capability under laser exposure. Therefore, this work provided a fascinating strategy based on biocompatible MPDA based drug delivery system for malignant tumors eradication via synergistic therapy.

Abstract
The highly-oriented structures in biological tissues play an important role in determining the functions of the tissues. In order to artificially fabricate oriented nanostructures similar to biological tissues, it is necessary to understand the oriented mechanism and invent the techniques for controlling the oriented structure of nanobiomaterials. In this review, the oriented structures in biological tissues were reviewed and the techniques for producing highly-oriented nanobiomaterials by imitating the oriented organic/inorganic nanocomposite mechanism of the biological tissues were summarized. In particular, we introduce a fabrication technology for the highly-oriented structure of nanobiomaterials on the surface of a rubbed polyimide film that has physicochemical anisotropy in order to further form the highly-oriented organic/inorganic nanocomposite structures based on interface interaction. This is an effective technology to fabricate one-directional nanobiomaterials by a biomimetic process, indicating the potential for wide application in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Aggressive glioblastoma (GBM) has no known treatment as a primary brain tumor. Since the cancer is so heterogeneous, an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) exists, and the blood–brain barrier (BBB) prevents chemotherapeutic chemicals from reaching the central nervous system (CNS), therapeutic success for GBM has been restricted. Drug delivery based on nanocarriers and nanotechnology has the potential to be a handy tool in the continuing effort to combat the challenges of treating GBM. There are various new therapies being tested to extend survival time. Maximizing therapeutic effectiveness necessitates using many treatment modalities at once. In the fight against GBM, combination treatments outperform individual ones. Combination therapies may be enhanced by using nanotechnology-based delivery techniques. Nano-chemotherapy, nano-chemotherapy–radiation, nano-chemotherapy–phototherapy, and nano-chemotherapy–immunotherapy for GBM are the focus of the current review to shed light on the current status of innovative designs.

Abstract
Both tumor-cell-targeting and BBB (blood-brain barrier)-penetrating ability are the key characteristics for glioma theranostics. We established one type of nanomicellar probe functionalized with a newly developed peptide WES. The micellar system could enact a series of cascaded functions in living bodies. It could specifically recruit the ApoE corona in blood circulation rather than perform nonspecific protein absorption. Following, it could penetrate into the BBB in an active manner. Finally, and most importantly, it could recognize and target the tumor marker as well as deliver drugs effectively toward glioma. The cascaded micellar system has shown satisfactory therapeutic ability for glioma in both a subcutaneous and orthotopic model, which provides a prospective strategy for brain cancer treatment.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, affecting more than 2.1 million people across the globe every year. A very high occurrence and mortality rate of lung cancer have prompted active research in this area with both conventional and novel forms of therapies including the use of nanomaterials based drug delivery agents. Specifically, the unique physico-chemical and biological properties of porous nanomaterials have gained significant momentum as drug delivery agents for delivering a combination of drugs or merging diagnosis with targeted therapy for cancer treatment. This review focuses on the emergence of nano-porous materials for drug delivery in lung cancer. The review analyses the currently used nanoporous materials, including inorganic, organic and hybrid porous materials for delivering drugs for various types of therapies, including chemo, radio and phototherapy. It also analyses the selected research on stimuli-responsive nanoporous materials for drug delivery in lung cancer before summarizing the various findings and projecting the future of emerging trends. This review provides a strong foundation for the current status of the research on nanoporous materials, their limitations and the potential for improving their design to overcome the unique challenges of delivering drugs for the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
The present review details a chronological description of the events that took place during the development of mesoporous materials, their different synthetic routes and their use as drug delivery systems. The outstanding textural properties of these materials quickly inspired their translation to the nanoscale dimension leading to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The different aspects of introducing pharmaceutical agents into the pores of these nanocarriers, together with their possible biodistribution and clearance routes, would be described here. The development of smart nanocarriers that are able to release a high local concentration of the therapeutic cargo on-demand after the application of certain stimuli would be reviewed here, together with their ability to deliver the therapeutic cargo to precise locations in the body. The huge progress in the design and development of MSNs for biomedical applications, including the potential treatment of different diseases, during the last 20 years will be collated here, together with the required work that still needs to be done to achieve the clinical translation of these materials. This review was conceived to stand out from past reports since it aims to tell the story of the development of mesoporous materials and their use as drug delivery systems by some of the story makers, who could be considered to be among the pioneers in this area.

Abstract
Enzyme activation is a powerful means of achieving biotransformation function, aiming to intensify the reaction processes with a higher yield of product in a short time, and can be exploited for diverse applications. However, conventional activation strategies such as genetic engineering and chemical modification are generally irreversible for enzyme activity, and they also have many limitations, including complex processes and unpredictable results. Recently, near-infrared (NIR), alternating magnetic field (AMF), microwave and ultrasound irradiation, as real-time and precise activation strategies for enzyme analysis, can address many limitations due to their deep penetrability, sustainability, low invasiveness, and sustainability and have been applied in many fields, such as biomedical and industrial applications and chemical synthesis. These spatiotemporal and controllable activation strategies can transfer light, electromagnetic, or ultrasound energy to enzymes, leading to favorable conformational changes and improving the thermal stability, stereoselectivity, and kinetics of enzymes. Furthermore, the different mechanisms of activation strategies have determined the type of applicable enzymes and manipulated protocol designs that either immobilize enzymes on nanomaterials responsive to light or magnetic fields or directly influence enzymatic properties. To employ these effects to finely and efficiently activate enzyme activity, the physicochemical features of nanomaterials and parameters, including the frequency and intensity of activation methods, must be optimized. Therefore, this review offers a comprehensive overview related to emerging technologies for achieving real-time enzyme activation and summarizes their characteristics and advanced applications.

Abstract
The most common malignant tumor of the brain is glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in adults. Many patients die shortly after diagnosis, and only 6% of patients survive more than 5 years. Moreover, the current average survival of malignant brain tumors is only about 15 months, and the recurrence rate within 2 years is almost 100%. Brain diseases are complicated to treat. The reason for this is that drugs are challenging to deliver to the brain because there is a blood–brain barrier (BBB) protection mechanism in the brain, which only allows water, oxygen, and blood sugar to enter the brain through blood vessels. Other chemicals cannot enter the brain due to their large size or are considered harmful substances. As a result, the efficacy of drugs for treating brain diseases is only about 30%, which cannot satisfy treatment expectations. Therefore, researchers have designed many types of nanoparticles and nanocomposites to fight against the most common malignant tumors in the brain, and they have been successful in animal experiments. This review will discuss the application of various nanocomposites in diagnosing and treating GBM. The topics include (1) the efficient and long-term tracking of brain images (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, and near-infrared light (NIR)); (2) breaking through BBB for drug delivery; and (3) natural and chemical drugs equipped with nanomaterials. These multifunctional nanoparticles can overcome current difficulties and achieve progressive GBM treatment and diagnosis results.

Abstract
The emergence of conjugated polymers (CPs) has provided a pathway to attain smart multifunctional conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) with enhanced properties and diverse applications. CPNs based on π-extended CPs exhibit high fluorescence brightness, low cytotoxicity, excellent photostability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ability, high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), etc. which endorse them as an excellent theranostic tool. Furthermore, the unique light-harvesting and energy transfer properties of CPNs enables their transformation into smart functional nanohybrids with augmented performance. Owing to such numerous features, simple preparation method and an easy separation process, the CPNs and their hybrids have been constantly rising as a frontrunner in the domain of medicine and much work has been done in the respective research area. This review summarizes the recent progress that has been made in the field of CPNs for biological and biomedical applications with special emphasis on biosensing, imaging, and theranostics. Following an introduction into the field, a first large section provides overview of the conventional as well as recently established synthetic methods for various types of CPNs. Then, the CPNs-based fluorometric assays for biomolecules based on different detection strategies have been described. Later on, examples of CPNs-based probes for imaging, both in vitro and in vivo using cancer cells and animal models have been explored. The next section highlighted the vital theranostic applications of CPNs and corresponding nanohybrids, mainly via imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT) and drug delivery. The last section summarizes the current challenges and gives an outlook on the potential future trends on CPNs as advanced healthcare material.

Abstract
The interest in graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs) application in nanomedicine, in particular in neurology, steadily increased in the last decades. GBNs peculiar physical-chemical properties allow the design of innovative therapeutic tools able to manipulate biological structures with subcellular resolution. In this review, we report GBNs applications to the central nervous system (CNS) when these nanomaterials are engineered as potential therapeutics to treat brain pathologies, with a focus on those of the pediatric age. We revise the state-of-the art studies addressing the impact of GBNs in the CNS, showing that the design of GBNs with different dimensions and chemical compositions or the use of specific administration routes and doses can limit unwanted side effects, exploiting GBNs efficacy in therapeutic approaches. These features favor the development of GBNs-based multifunctional devices that may find applications in the field of precision medicine for the treatment of disorders in the developing CNS. In this framework, we address the suitability of GBNs to become successful therapeutic tools, such as drug nano-delivery vectors when being chemically decorated with pharmaceutical agents and/or other molecules to obtain a high specific targeting of the diseased area and to achieve a controlled release of active molecules. IMPACT: The translational potential of graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs) can be used for the design of novel therapeutic approaches to treat pathologies affecting the brain with a focus on the pediatric age. GBNs can be chemically decorated with pharmaceutical agents and molecules to obtain a highly specific targeting of the diseased site and a controlled drug release. The type of GBNs, the selected functionalization, the dose, and the way of administration are factors that should be considered to potentiate the therapeutic efficacy of GBNs, limiting possible side effects. GBNs-based multifunctional devices might find applications in the precision medicine and theranostics fields.

Abstract
An ideal drug delivery system must have a high level of stability to ensure effective circulation and passive aggregation, good retention performance, and dynamic delivery and treatment monitoring. Thus, the development of a smart drug delivery carrier with both precise drug release and real-time detection remains a challenge. Herein, we propose a confined crosslink protocol to prepare an intelligent hybrid delivery system for auto-fluorescent monitoring, protonation-induced retention and precise drug release. The construction of this system involves the hydrolysis and condensation of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) silanes inside the Pluronic polymer micelles and thereafter a confined Schiff base crosslinking between glutaraldehyde (GA) and residual silane amino groups. The size of the intelligent docetaxel (DTX)-loaded nanosystem changes from ∼25 nm in blood circulation or normal tissues (pH ∼ 7.4) to ∼250 nm in slightly acidic environments (pH ∼ 6.5-7.0) owing to intra-molecular hydrogen bond-induced aggregation and imine cleavage-induced disintegration in the endosome (pH ∼ 5.0-6.2) along with auto-fluorescent monitoring contributing to the high-efficiency chemotherapy. This work provides a new method to construct smart, acid-responsive and fluorescent-guided drug-delivery carrier systems for efficient and safe tumor chemotherapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles having magnetic and fluorescent properties could be considered as a gift to materials scientists due to their unique magneto-optical qualities. Multiple component particles can overcome challenges related with a single component and unveil bifunctional/multifunctional features that can enlarge their applications in diagnostic imaging agents and therapeutic delivery vehicles. Bifunctional nanoparticles that have both luminescent and magnetic features are termed as magnetic nanolights. Herein, we present recent progress of magneto-fluorescent nanoparticles (quantum dots based magnetic nanoparticles, Janus particles, and heterocrystalline fluorescent magnetic materials), comprehensively describing fabrication strategies, types, and biomedical applications. In this review, our aim is not only to encompass the preparation strategies of these special types of magneto-fluorescent nanomaterials but also their extensive applications in bioimaging techniques, cancer therapy (targeted and hyperthermic), and sustained release of active agents (drugs, proteins, antibodies, hormones, enzymes, growth factors).

Abstract
Synergistic therapy has been emerging as new trend for effective tumor treatment due to synchronous function and cooperative reinforcement of multi therapeutic modalities. Herein, gold nanorods (GNRs) encapsulated into polypyrrole (PPy) shell with tunable void space (GNRs@Void@PPy) showing yolk@shell nanostructures were innovatively designed. The exploitation of dual near-infrared (NIR) absorptive species offered synergistic enhancement of photothermal performance. In addition, the manipulation of the void space between them provided additional benefits of high drug encapsulation efficiency (92.6%) and, interestingly, tumor microenvironment and NIR irradiation triggered targeted drug releasing. Moreover, the GNRs@Void@PPy exhibited excellent biocompatibility, and optimal curative effect by chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy was achieved through both in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity investigation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been rapidly developed as an effective therapeutic approach in clinical settings. However, hypoxia seriously limits the effectiveness of PDT. Here, we report a porphyrin-based metal-organic framework combined with hyaluronate-modified CaO2 nanoparticles (PCN-224-CaO2-HA) to target and enhance PDT efficacy. CaO2 reacts with H2O or weak acid to produce O2, overcoming the hypoxia problem. Hyaluronate protects CaO2 and specifically targets the CD44 receptor, which is highly expressed on tumor cell membranes, performing targeted therapy. After PDT treatment in vitro, the survival rates of 4T1 and MCF-7 tumor cells were 14.58% and 22.45%, respectively. The fluorescence imaging showed that PCN-224-CaO2-HA effectively aggregated in the tumor after 12 h of its intravenous injection into tumor-bearing mice. PCN-224-CaO2-HA exhibited efficacious tumor growth inhibition via enhanced PDT. Overall, this nanosystem providing in situ oxygen production was successfully used for targeted PDT with a significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Multimodal synergistic therapy has gained increasing attention in cancer treatment to overcome the limitations of monotherapy and achieve high anticancer efficacy. In this study, a synergistic phototherapy and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy nanoplatform based on natural melanin nanoparticles (MPs) loaded with the bioreduction prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) and decorated with hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed. A self-reporting aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active photosensitizer (PS) (BATTMN) was linked to the prepared nanoparticles by boronate ester bonds. The MPs and BATTMN-HA played roles as quenchers for PS and cancer targeting/photodynamic moieties, respectively. As a pH sensitive bond, the borate ester bonds between HA and BATTMN are hydrolysed in the acidic cancer environment, thereby separating BATTMN from the nanoparticles and leading to the induction of fluorescence for imaging-guided synergistic phototherapy/hypoxia-activated chemotherapy under dual irradiation. TPZ can be released upon activation by pH, near-infrared (NIR) and hyaluronidase (Hyal). Particularly, the hypoxia-dependent cytotoxicity of TPZ was amplified by oxygen consumption in the tumor intracellular environment induced by the AIE-active PS in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The nanoparticles developed in our research showed favorable photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 37%), desired cytocompatibility, and excellent synergistic therapeutic efficacy. The proposed nanoplatform not only extends the application scope of melanin materials with AIE-active PSs, but also offers useful insights into developing multistimulus as well as multimodal synergistic tumor treatment.

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.

Amphotericin-B-loaded polymer-functionalized reduced graphene oxides for Leishmania amazonensis chemo-photothermal therapy. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 209:112169. [PMID: 34752985 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.112169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Two platforms based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) functionalized with Pluronic® P123 (rGO-P123) and polyethyleneimine - PEI (rGO-PEI) polymers and loaded with amphotericin B (AmB) were fabricated and tested against Leishmania amazonensis, which can cause cutaneous and diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis. The materials rGO-P123 and rGO-PEI were efficiently loaded with AmB - a polyene antibiotic - which resulted in rGO-P123-AmB (0.078 mg per mg of material) and rGO-PEI-AmB (0.086 mg per mg of material). Under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, the amount of AmB released from rGO-PEI-AmB at pH 5.0 and 7.4 doubled in comparison to AmB released in the absence of NIR light under identical conditions. It was accompanied by a photothermal effect. Otherwise, rGO-P123-AmB did not show a significant change in AmB released in the presence and absence of NIR light. Cytotoxicity studies in mammalian host macrophages revealed that rGO-PEI and rGO-PEI-AmB were nontoxic to the host cells, whereas rGO-123 and rGO-P123-AmB were very toxic, particularly the latter. Therefore, only rGO-PEI and rGO-PEI-AmB were tested against L. amazonensis promastigotes in the presence and absence of NIR light. In vitro antiproliferative effects revealed that rGO-PEI-AmB showed a more pronounced activity against the parasite than rGO-PEI, which was improved under NIR light irradiation. Scanning-transmission electron microscopy of L. amazonensis promastigotes after incubation with rGO-PEI or rGO-PEI-AmB suggested autophagic and necrotic cell death. Thus, the facile synthesis, high AmB loading capacity and good photothermal effect make the rGO-PEI-AmB platform a promising candidate for the topical treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Abstract
To date, nanotechnology has increasingly been identified as a promising and efficient means to address a number of challenges associated with public health. In the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) biomaterials, as a unique nanoplatform with planar topology, have attracted explosive interest in various fields such as biomedicine due to their unique morphology, physicochemical properties and biological effect. Motivated by the progress of graphene in biomedicine, dozens of types of ultrathin 2D biomaterials have found versatile bio-applications, including biosensing, biomedical imaging, delivery of therapeutic agents, cancer theranostics, tissue engineering, as well as others. The effective utilization of 2D biomaterials stems from the in-depth knowledge of structure-property-bioactivity-biosafety-application-performance relationships. A comprehensive summary of 2D biomaterials for biomedicine is still lacking. In this comprehensive review, we aim to concentrate on the state-of-the-art 2D biomaterials with a particular focus on their versatile biomedical applications. In particular, we discuss the design, fabrication and functionalization of 2D biomaterials used for diverse biomedical applications based on the up-to-date progress. Furthermore, the interactions between 2D biomaterials and biological systems on the spatial-temporal scale are highlighted, which will deepen the understanding of the underlying action mechanism of 2D biomaterials aiding their design with improved functionalities. Finally, taking the bench-to-bedside as a focus, we conclude this review by proposing the current crucial issues/challenges and presenting the future development directions to advance the clinical translation of these emerging 2D biomaterials.
