Abstract
Herein, we report the first-ever design strategy of modifying RAPTA-C into a self-reporting prodrug candidate based on Ru-coordinated polydiacetylene self-assembly. This nanosystem exhibits a dual lock strategy that responds to visible light and pH-stimuli sequentially one by one with a concomitant color change for controlled RAPTA-C release and real-time release monitoring in human gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
Photocages, also known as photoactivated protective groups (PPGs), have been utilized to achieve controlled release of target molecules in a non-invasive and spatiotemporal manner. In the past decade, BODIPY fluorophores, a well-established class of fluorescent dyes, have emerged as a novel type of photoactivated protective group capable of efficiently releasing cargo species upon irradiation. This is due to their exceptional properties, including high molar absorption coefficients, resistance to photochemical and thermal degradation, multiple modification sites, favorable uncaging quantum yields, and highly adjustable spectral properties. Compared to traditional photocages that mainly absorb UV light, BODIPY-based photocages that absorb visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) light offer advantages such as deeper tissue penetration and reduced bio-autofluorescence, making them highly suitable for various biomedical applications. Consequently, different types of photoactivated protective groups based on the BODIPY skeleton have been established. This highlight provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies employed to construct BODIPY photocages by substituting leaving groups at different positions within the BODIPY fluorophore, including the meso-methyl position, boron position, 2,6-position, and 3,5-position. Furthermore, the application of these BODIPY photocages in biomedical fields, such as fluorescence imaging and controlled release of active species, is discussed.

Abstract
In this work, the supersensitive and selective determination of lincomycin (Lin) was achieved using a novel electroluminescent (ECL) aptasensor based on the synergistic integration of gold functionalized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and thiolated 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid (PTCA). The integration of two luminophores of UCNPs and PTCA combined the merits of the cathodoluminescence stability of UCNPs and the high quantum yield of PTCA, which significantly promoted the ECL signal and analytical performance of the proposed sensor. The introduction of gold nanoparticles in UCNPs can not only improve the conductivity and ECL performance of UCNPs but also cause them to easily integrate with thiolated PTCA (t-PTCA) via an Au-S bond. The ECL signal of UCNPs@Au/t-PTCA/GCE was almost twice as strong as that of t-PTCA/GCE and tenfold higher than that of UCNPs@Au/GCE. Because of the non-conductive protein of the Lin aptamer, the ECL intensity of apt/UCNPs@Au/t-PTCA/GCE noticeably decreased. In the presence of Lin, the aptamer was pulled down from the sensing interface, resulting in the recovery of the ECL intensity of the sensor. Under optimal conditions, our proposed sensor can quantify the concentration of Lin in the range from 1.0 × 10-15 to 1.0 × 10-7 M with a low detection limit of 2.4 × 10-16 M (S/N = 3), exhibiting high sensitivity and specificity for the determination of Lin.

Abstract
Recently, up-conversion luminescent (UCL) materials have caught extensive sight on account of their excellent biocompatibility and weak automatic fluorescence background, but the low optical signal makes researchers shy away. Organic dye-sensitized UCL materials can improve the low optical signal drawback of UCL and rejuvenate it with adjustable optical properties and unique antenna effects. In this work, an efficient, simple and selective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform was developed for determination of enrofloxacin (ENR). 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid (PTCA) was successfully used as an "antenna" to improve the ECL performance of the UCL nanoparticles (PEI-NaYF4: Yb, Er) due to its appropriate excitation spectrum position and superior electron transfer rate. The specific recognition function of the aptamer enabled the sensor to eliminate the interference from conspecific impurity. In the presence of ENR, the specific combination of ENR with aptamer made the aptamer fall from surface of the electrode, thus we could see a considerable enhancement of signal. Under the most favourable conditions, the aptasensor based on antenna effect displayed a wide detection range (1.0 × 10-14∼1.0 × 10-6 M), low limit of detection (LOD = 3.0 × 10-15 M) and receivable recoveries (96.0%-102.4%) during water samples analysis. At this point, antenna effect provides a powerful strategy to expand the application of UCL in the field of ECL biosensing.

Abstract
The precisely spatial-temporal delivery of heterogeneous payloads from a single system with the same pulse is in great demand in realizing versatile and synergistic functions. Very few molecular architectures can satisfy the strict requirements of dual-release translated from single triggers, while the self-immolative systems based on dynamic covalent bonds represent the "state-of-art" of ultimate solution strategy. Embedding heterogeneous payloads symmetrically onto the self-immolative backbone with dynamic covalent bonds as the trigger, can respond to the quasi-bio-orthogonal hallmarks which are higher at the disease's microenvironment to simultaneously yield the heterogeneous payloads (drug A/drug B or drug/reporter). In this review, the modular design principles are concentrated to illustrate the rules in tailoring useful structures, then the rational applications are enumerated on the aspects of drug codelivery and visualized drug-delivery. This review, hopefully, can give the general readers a comprehensive understanding of the self-immolative systems based on dynamic covalent bonds for delivering heterogeneous payloads.

Abstract
Non-invasive control of the drug molecules accessibility is a key issue in improving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some studies have explored the spatiotemporal control by light as a peripheral stimulus. Phototriggered drug delivery systems (PTDDSs) have received interest in the past decade among biological researchers due to their capability the control drug release. To this end, a wide range of phototrigger molecular structures participated in the DDSs to serve additional efficiency and a high-conversion release of active fragments under light irradiation. Up to now, several categories of PTDDSs have been extended to upgrade the performance of controlled delivery of therapeutic agents based on well-known phototrigger molecular structures like o-nitrobenzyl, coumarinyl, anthracenyl, quinolinyl, o-hydroxycinnamate and hydroxyphenacyl, where either of one endows an exclusive feature and distinct mechanistic approach. This review conveys the design, photochemical properties and essential mechanism of the most important phototriggered structures for the release of single and dual (similar or different) active molecules that have the ability to quickly reason of the large variety of dynamic biological phenomena for biomedical applications like photo-regulated drug release, synergistic outcomes, real-time monitoring, and biocompatibility potential.

Abstract
Metal-free long-wavelength light-driven prodrug photoactivation is highly desirable for applications such as neuromodulation, drug delivery, and cancer therapy. Herein, via triplet fusion, we report on the far-red light-driven photo-release of an anti-cancer drug by coupling the boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based photosensitizer with a photocleavable perylene-based anti-cancer drug. Notably, this metal-free triplet fusion photolysis (TFP) strategy can be further advanced by incorporating an additional functional dopant, i.e. an immunotherapy medicine inhibiting the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), with the far-red responsive triplet fusion pair in an air-stable nanoparticle. With this IDO inhibitor-assisted TFP system we observed efficient inhibition of primary and distant tumors in a mouse model at record-low excitation power, compared to other photo-assisted immunotherapy approaches. This metal-free TFP strategy will spur advancement in photonics and biophotonics fields.

Abstract
The fluorescent probe is a powerful tool for biological sensing and optical imaging, which can directly display analytes at the molecular level. It provides not only direct visualization of biological structures and processes, but also the capability of drug delivery systems regarding the target therapy. Conventional fluorescent probes are mainly based on monomer emission which has two distinguishing shortcomings in practice: small Stokes shifts and short lifetimes. Compared with monomer-based emission, excimer-based fluorescent probes have large Stokes shifts and long lifetimes which benefit biological applications. Recent progress in excimer-based fluorescent sensors (organic small molecules only) for biological applications are highlighted in this review, including materials and mechanisms as well as their representative applications. The progress suggests that excimer-based fluorescent probes have advantages and potential for bioanalytical applications.

Abstract
Prodrugs are chemically modified drug molecules that are inactive before administration. After administration, they are converted in situ to parent drugs and induce the mechanism of action. The development of prodrugs has upgraded conventional drug treatments in terms of bioavailability, targeting, and reduced side effects. Especially in cancer therapy, the application of prodrugs has achieved substantial therapeutic effects. From serendipitous discovery in the early stage to functional design with pertinence nowadays, the importance of prodrugs in drug design is self-evident. At present, studying stimuli-responsive activation mechanisms, regulating the stimuli intensity in vivo, and designing nanoscale prodrug formulations are the major strategies to promote the development of prodrugs. In this review, we provide an outlook of recent cutting-edge studies on stimuli-responsive prodrug nanosystems from these three aspects. We also discuss prospects and challenges in the future development of such prodrugs.

Abstract
Understanding the transport mechanisms of electronic excitations in molecular systems is the basis for their application in light harvesting and opto-electronic devices. The exciton transfer properties depend pivotally on the intermolecular coupling and the latter on the supramolecular structure. In this work, organic nanoparticles of the perylene derivative Perylene Red are prepared with flash-precipitation under different conditions. We correlate their intermolecular couplings, optical spectra, quantum yields, emission lifetimes and their size and characterize their exciton dynamics upon excitation with ultrashort laser pulses by transient absorption spectroscopy. We find that the intermolecular coupling can be varied by changing the preparation conditions and thus the supramolecular structure. In contrast to the monomeric system, the generation of charge-transfer states is found after optical excitation of the nanoparticles. The time of the generation step is in the order of 100 ps and depends on the intermolecular coupling. The mobility of the originally excited excitons is determined from measurements with varying exciton density. To this end, we model the contribution of exciton-exciton annihilation to the exciton decay assuming three-dimensional incoherent diffusion. The extracted exciton diffusion constant of nanoparticles with stronger intermolecular coupling is found to be 0.17 nm2 ps-1 and thereby about ten times higher than in the particles with smaller coupling.

Abstract
We report a water-soluble poly(phenylene ethynylene) (PPE-Pt(IV)) that is functionalized with oxidized oxaliplatin Pt(IV) units and its use for photoactivated chemotherapy. The photoactivation strategy is based on photoinduced electron transfer from the PPE backbone to oxaliplatin Pt(IV) as an electron acceptor; this process triggers the release of oxaliplatin, which is a clinically used anticancer drug. Mechanistic studies carried out using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with picosecond-nanosecond transient absorption support the hypothesis that electron transfer triggers the drug release. Photoactivation is effective, producing oxaliplatin with a good chemical yield in less than 1 h of photolysis (400 nm, 5 mW cm-2). Photorelease of oxaliplatin from PPE-Pt(IV) can also be effected with two-photon excitation by using 100 fs pulsed light at 725 nm. Cytotoxicity studies using SK-OV-3 human ovarian cancer cells demonstrate that without photoactivation PPE-Pt(IV) is not cytotoxic at concentrations up to 10 μM in polymer repeating unit (PRU) concentration. However, following a short period of 460 nm irradiation, oxaliplatin is released from PPE-Pt(IV), resulting in cytotoxicity at concentrations as low as 2.5 μM PRU.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are a class of optical nanocrystals doped with lanthanide ions that offer great promise for applications in controllable tumor therapy. In recent years, UCNPs have become an important tool for studying the treatment of various malignant and nonmalignant cutaneous diseases. UCNPs convert near-infrared (NIR) radiation into shorter-wavelength visible and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is much better than conventional UV activated tumor therapy as strong UV-light can be damaging to healthy surrounding tissue. Moreover, UV light generally does not penetrate deeply into the skin, an issue that UCNPs can now address. However, the current studies are still in the early stage of research, with a long way to go before clinical implementation. In this paper, we systematically analysed recent advances in light-activated tumor therapy using functionalized UCNPs. We summarized the purpose and mechanism of UCNP-based photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy, immunotherapy, chemo-therapy and integrated therapy. We believe the creation of functional materials based on UCNPs will offer superior performance and enable innovative applications, increasing the scope and opportunities for cancer therapy in the future.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Therapeutic systems with site-specific pharmaceutical activation hold great promise to enhance therapeutic efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity in cancer therapy. With operational flexibility, noninvasiveness, and high spatiotemporal resolution, photoactivatable nanomedicines have drawn growing attention. Distinct from traditional controlled release systems relying on the difference of biomarker concentrations between disease and healthy tissues, photoactivatable nanomedicines capitalize on the interaction between nanotransducers and light to either trigger photochemical reactions or generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) or heat effect to remotely induce pharmaceutical actions in living subjects. Herein, the recent advances in the development of photoactivatable protherapeutic nanoagents for oncology are summarized. The design strategies and therapeutic applications of these nanoagents are described. Representative examples of each type are discussed in terms of structure, photoactivation mechanism, and preclinical models. Last, potential challenges and perspectives to further develop photoactivatable protherapeutic nanoagents in cancer nanomedicine are discussed.

Abstract
In this work, a sensitive and selective electrochemiluminescent aptasensor was proposed based on the enhancing mechanism of the metal-organic framework NH2-MIL-125(Ti) in a 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid/K2S2O8 system for a diethylstilbestrol assay. Herein, 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid was selected as the major luminophore, and the metal-organic framework NH2-MIL-125(Ti) displayed a large specific surface area to immobilize abundant PTCA molecules to facilitate electrochemiluminescence efficiency. Besides, the metal-organic framework NH2-MIL-125(Ti) was used as a novel catalyst in the 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid/K2S2O8 system, which could react with the co-reactant K2S2O8 to produce more SO4˙-. In addition, we introduced the amino-aptamer of diethylstilbestrol; due to the specific binding affinity between the aptamer and diethylstilbestrol, a selective electrochemiluminescent aptasensor for diethylstilbestrol was thus developed here. Under the optimal conditions, a wide detection range from 1.0 fM to 1.0 μM with a low detection limit of 0.28 fM (S/N = 3) was obtained. More importantly, the residual diethylstilbestrol in water was detected by the developed aptasensor; this confirmed that this method has good performance and potential applications in real samples.

Abstract
Real-time monitor of drug-release from drug formulations in a noninvasive way can provide spatio-temporal information for drug activation and guide further clinical rational administration. In this work, a molecular shuttle, as a typical nanosized artificial molecular machine, was managed to act as a conceptually-new nanotheranostics for oxaliplatin. A post-recognition strategy was utilized, where a default supramolecular-dye couple was pre-blocked. The rational design, synthesis, characterization and proof-of-concept of this strategy were described in detail. The drug-release upon reducing environment can be translated into near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence signal (OFF-to-ON), allowing to track the drug-release procedure by multi-modal images including IVIS, FLECT and photoacoustic imaging. The versatile nanotheranostics system can target to triple negative breast tumor via conjugated F3 peptide, and show an improved anti-tumor efficacy with much lower side effect. The intelligent nanotheranostics system based on molecular shuttle provides new reference for precision medicine in preclinical trial and postclinical evaluation.

Abstract
The current available therapeutics face several challenges such as the development of ideal drug delivery systems towards the goal of personalized treatments for patients benefit. The application of light as an exogenous activation mechanism has shown promising outcomes, owning to the spatiotemporal confinement of the treatment in the vicinity of the diseased tissue, which offers many intriguing possibilities. Engineering therapeutics with light responsive moieties have been explored to enhance the bioavailability, and drug efficacy either in vitro or in vivo. The tailor-made character turns the so-called photocaged compounds highly desirable to reduce the side effects of drugs and, therefore, have received wide research attention. Herein, we seek to highlight the potential of photocaged compounds to obtain a clear understanding of the mechanisms behind its use in therapeutic delivery. A deep overview on the progress achieved in the design, fabrication as well as current and possible future applications in therapeutics of photocaged compounds is provided, so that novel formulations for biomedical field can be designed.

Abstract
Molecular photoacoustic imaging (PA) is a promising technology to understand tumor pathology and guide precision therapeutics. Despite the capability of activatable PA probes to image tumor-specific biomarkers, limitations in their molecular structure hamper them from effective drug delivery and the drug release monitoring. Herein, we developed a perylene diimide (PDI) based theranostic platform that provides noninvasive PA imaging signals to monitor tumor-specific pH-responsive drug release. Methods: we first designed and synthesized an acid-responsive amine-substituted PDI derivative. The pH sensitive properties of the PDI was demonstrated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, UV-vis experiments and PA studies. The theranostic platform (THPDINs) was fabricated by self-assembly of the acid-responsive PDI, a pH irrelevant IR825 dye, and anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The PA properties in various pH environment, drug delivery, cytotoxicity, cell uptake, ratiometric PA imaging and anti-tumor efficacy of the THPDINs were investigated in vitro and in vivo by using U87MG glioma cell line and U87MG tumor model. Results: We found that our designed PDI was sensitive to the tumor specific pH environment, reflected by absorbance shift, PA intensity and aggregation morphology changes in aqueous solution. The as-synthesized pH sensitive PDI acted as a molecular switch in the THPDINs, in which the switch can be triggered in the mild acidic tumor microenvironment to accelerate DOX release. Meanwhile, the DOX release could be monitored by ratiometric PA imaging. Conclusions: We developed a multifunctional PDI based theranostic platform for noninvasive real-time ratiometric PA imaging of tumor acidic pH and monitoring of drug release in living mice simultaneously. This strategy will shed light on the development of smart activatable theranostic nanoplatforms and will significantly advance the application of PA theranostics in biology and medicine.

Abstract
Delivery of clinically approved nonfluorescent drugs is facing challenges because it is difficult to monitor the intracellular drug delivery without incorporating any integrated fluorescence moiety into the drug carrier. The present investigation reports the synthesis of a pH-responsive autofluorescent polymeric nanoscaffold for the administration of nonfluorescent aromatic nitrogen mustard chlorambucil (CBL) drug into the cancer cells. Copolymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) appended styrene and CBL conjugated N-substituted maleimide monomers enables the formation of well-defined luminescent alternating copolymer. These amphiphilic brush copolymers self-organized in aqueous medium into 25-68 nm nanoparticles, where the CBL drug is enclosed into the core of the self-assembled nanoparticles. In vitro studies revealed ∼70% drug was retained under physiological conditions at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. At endolysosomal pH 5.0, 90% of the CBL was released by the pH-induced cleavage of the aliphatic ester linkages connecting CBL to the maleimide unit. Although the nascent nanoparticle (without drug conjugation) is nontoxic, the drug conjugated nanoparticle showed higher toxicity and superior cell killing capability in cervical cancer (HeLa) cells rather than in normal cells. Interestingly, the copolymer without any conventional chromophore exhibited photoluminescence under UV light irradiation due to the presence of "through-space" π-π interaction between the C═O group of maleimide unit and the adjacent benzene ring of the styrenic monomer. This property helped us intracellular tracking of CBL conjugated autofluorescent nanocarriers through fluorescence microscope imaging. Finally, the 4-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (NBP) colorimetric assay was executed to examine the ability of CBL-based polymeric nanomaterials toward alkylation of DNA.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels with multifunctional properties, including tissue adhesiveness and pH-sensitivity are highly desired for localized drug delivery in disease treatment, and their design is still challenging. We developed a series of multifunctional injectable mucoadhesive and pH-responsive hydrogels based on chitosan-grafted-dihydrocaffeic acid (CS-DA) and oxidized pullulan (OP) via a Schiff base reaction. These hydrogels exhibited good injectability, suitable gelation time, in vitro pH-dependent equilibrated swelling ratios, morphologies, and rheological characteristics. The desirable in vitro pH-sensitive drug release behavior of these hydrogels was demonstrated by a drug release test with anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) loaded hydrogels at different pH values. The hydrogels showed good DOX release, effectively killing colon tumor cells (HCT116 cells) and good antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus in vitro when the antibacterial model drug amoxicillin was encapsulated in the hydrogels. A lap-shear test was also carried out with these hydrogels. The hydrogels exhibited good mucosal adhesion, indicating their potential use in mucosa-localized drug delivery systems. All these results suggest that these injectable pH-responsive adhesive hydrogels are ideal candidates for development of colon cancer drug delivery carriers or mucoadhesive drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Achieving controlled and targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and other therapeutic agents to tumor sites is challenging. Among many stimulus strategies, light as a mode of action shows various advantages such as high spatiotemporal selectivity, minimal invasiveness and easy operation. Thus, drug delivery systems (DDSs) have been designed with the incorporation of various functionalities responsive to light as an exogenous stimulus. Early development has focused on guiding chemotherapeutic drugs to designated location, followed by the utilization of UV irradiation for controlled drug release. Because of the disadvantages of UV light such as phototoxicity and limited tissue penetration depth, scientists have moved the research focus onto developing nanoparticle systems responsive to light in the visible region (400-700 nm), aiming to reduce the phototoxicity. In order to enhance the tissue penetration depth, near-infrared light triggered DDSs become increasingly important. In addition, light-based advanced systems for fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging, as well as photodynamic and photothermal therapy have also been reported. Herein, we highlight some of recent developments by applying light-responsive systems in cancer theranostics, including light activated drug release, photodynamic and photothermal therapy, and bioimaging techniques such as fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging. Future prospect of light-mediated cancer treatment is discussed at the end of the review. This Spotlights on Applications article aims to provide up-to-date information about the rapidly developing field of light-based cancer theranostics.

Abstract
We report an experimental and computational investigation into the solvatochromism of a perylene diimide derivative. The alkyl swallowtail substituents allowed solubility in many solvents of widely differing polarity, with a complicated resultant behaviour, illustrating both negative and positive solvatochromism as a function of dielectric constant. Luminescence quantum yield and optical absorption linewidth displayed an inverse correlation, indicating varying degrees of intermolecular aggregation, and a remarkably similar trend was found between the peak absorption wavelength and the solvent boiling point, illustrating the dependency of aggregation on the solvent interactions. These outline trends may be parameterised by an empirically derived dimensionless quantity, as a tool to be used in more sophisticated future models of solvatochromism in small molecule chromophores.

Abstract
A strategy to expand anti-Stokes shifting from the far-red to deep-blue region in metal-free triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) is presented. The method is demonstrated by in vivo titration of the photorelease of an anticancer prodrug. This new TTA system has robust brightness and the longest anti-Stokes shift of any reported TTA system. TTA core-shell-structured prodrug delivery capsules that benefit from these properties were developed; they can operate with low-power density far-red light-emitting diode light. These capsules contain mesoporous silica nanoparticles preloaded with TTA molecules as the core, and amphiphilic polymers encapsulating anticancer prodrug molecules as the shell. When stimulated by far-red light, the intense TTA upconversion blue emission in the system activates the anticancer prodrug molecules and shows effective tumor growth inhibition in vivo. This work paves the way to new organic TTA upconversion techniques that are applicable to in vivo photocontrollable drug release and other biophotonic applications.

Abstract
In this work, hemin was firstly used as electrochemically regenerable co-reaction accelerator for signal amplification to develop an ultrasensitive aptasensor for Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) detection. Initially, the perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTCA) was directly employed as luminophore to construct the ECL sensing nano-platform by combining Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) for immobilizing thiol-terminated hairpin probe (H1). Then with the help of hairpin H2, H3, the AFM1-catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) was executed to produce the H1-H3 duplex, which could further initiate the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to generate dendritic DNA polymers consisting of G-rich sequence for capturing large quantities of hemin on the electrode surface. Herein, hemin as electrochemically regenerable co-reaction accelerator could interact with the co-reactant (S2O82-) to obviously improve the luminous efficiency of the PTCA. Therefore, a strong and stable ECL signal was achieved by the employment of hemin as electrochemically regenerable co-reaction accelerator. The proposed aptasensor determined AFM1 down to 0.09pgmL-1 within a linear range of 0.4pgmL-1 to 400ngmL-1. With excellent sensitivity and stability, the strategy provided an efficient and simple method for the trace detection of biomolecules in clinical analysis.

Abstract
The construction of prodrugs has been a popular strategy to overcome the limitations of chemotherapeutic drugs. However, complicated synthesis procedures and laborious purification steps make the fabrication of amphiphilic prodrugs rather difficult. By harnessing the concept of host-guest interaction, we designed and prepared a supra-amphiphile consisting of a dendritic cyclodextrin host and an adamantane/naphthalimide-modified camptothecin guest through glutathione-responsive disulfide linkage. This host-guest complex could self-assemble in aqueous solution to give nanosized vesicles. When the disulfide bond in adamantane/naphthalimide-modified camptothecin was cleaved by glutathione, the fluorescence of the freed adamantane/naphthalimide unit showed a significant red shift with enhanced intensity. Such glutathione-responsive fluorescence change allows for intracellular imaging and simultaneous monitoring of drug release in real time. On account of abundant positively charged amine groups on the supramolecular vesicle surface, siRNA (siPlK1) could be efficiently loaded on the vesicle. The gel retardation and fluorescence experiments proved that the siPlK1 was successfully bonded to the supramolecular vesicle. The vesicle with dendritic cyclodextrin ring exhibited negligible cytotoxicity even at high concentrations, avoiding the shortcoming of cytotoxicity from commonly used gene vectors. In vitro studies demonstrated that the loaded siRNA was transported into cancer cells to improve cancer therapeutic efficacy. Thus, we developed a prodrug-based supramolecular amphiphile via the host-guest interaction with better therapeutic performance than free camptothecin. The assembled system was utilized as a drug/gene vector to achieve combinational gene therapy and chemotherapy with a synergistic effect, providing an alternative strategy to deliver both prodrug and therapeutic gene.

Abstract
Biopolymer/inorganic material nanocomposites have attracted increasing interest as nanocarriers for delivering drugs owing to the combined advantages of both biopolymer and inorganic materials. Here, amphiphilic block copolymer/fullerene nanocomposites were prepared as nanocarriers for hydrophobic drug by incorporation of C60 in the core of methoxy polyethylene glycol-poly(d,l-lactic acid) (MPEG-PDLLA) micelles. The structure and morphology of MPEG-PDLLA/C60 nanocomposites were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis. It was found that the moderate amount of spherical C60 incorporated in the MPEG-PDLLA micelles may cause an increase in the molecular chain space of PDLLA segments in the vicinity of C60 and, thus, produce a larger cargo space to increase drug entrapment and accelerate the drug release from nanocomposites. Furthermore, sufficient additions of C60 perhaps resulted in an aggregation of C60 within the micelles that decreased the drug entrapment and produced a steric hindrance for DOX released from the nanocomposites. The results obtained provide fundamental insights into the understanding of the role of C60 in adjusting the drug loading and release of amphiphilic copolymer micelles and further demonstrate the future potential of the MPEG-PDLLA/C60 nanocomposites used as nanocarriers for controlled drug-delivery applications.

Abstract
An impressive development has been achieved toward the production of well-defined "smart" inorganic nanoparticles, in which the physicochemical properties can be controlled and predicted to a high degree of accuracy. Nanoparticle design is indeed highly advanced, multimodal and multitargeting being the norm, yet we do not fully understand the obstacles that nanoparticles face when used in vivo. Increased cooperation between chemists and biochemists, immunologists and physicists, has allowed us to think outside the box, and we are slowly starting to understand the interactions that nanoparticles undergo under more realistic situations. Importantly, such an understanding involves awareness about the limitations when assessing the influence of such inorganic nanoparticles on biological entities and vice versa, as well as the development of new validation strategies.
