Abstract
Microplastics are highly persistent emerging pollutants that are widely distributed in the environment. We report the use of MoS2@Fe2O3 core-shell micromotors prepared by a hydrothermal approach to explore the degradation of plastic microparticles. Polystyrene was chosen as the model plastic due to its wide distribution and resistance to degradation using current approaches. Micromotors show photophoretic-based motion at speeds of up to 6 mm s-1 and schooling behavior under full solar light spectra irradiation without the need for fuel or surfactants. During this impressive collective behavior, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated because of the semiconducting nature of the MoS2. Degradation of polystyrene beads is observed after 4 h irradiation because of the synergistic effect of ROS production and localized heat generation. The MoS2@Fe2O3 micromotors possess magnetic properties, which allow further cleaning and removal to be carried out after irradiation through magnetic pulling. The new micromotors hold considerable promise for full-scale treatment applications, only limited by our imagination.

Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheet-Based Nanocomposite for the Topical Delivery of Umbelliferone: Evaluation of Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic Potentials. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:37105-37116. [PMID: 39246492 PMCID: PMC11375718 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c04252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a nanocomposite formulation comprising umbelliferone (UMB) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets as a carrier, termed as the UMB-MoS2 nanocomposite in gel for topical delivery. MoS2 nanosheets were successfully synthesized via a green-hydrothermal reaction of 10 mg of ammonium molybdate and 10 mg of thiourea in 80 mL of deionized water under predetermined conditions. The UMB-MoS2 nanocomposite was prepared by sonicating UMB and MoS2 nanosheets (each of 1 mg/mL) in dimethylformamide. Scanning electron microscopy revealed crumpled nanosheets with an open-ended structure and a nanocomposite as a layered structure. The X-ray diffraction pattern revealed the amorphous nature of UMB in the UMB-MoS2 nanocomposite. Fourier-transform infrared spectra of the UMB-MoS2 nanocomposite had modified bands of the functional group, which confirmed the formation of the nanocomposite. The size and polydispersity-index (435 nm and 0.415, respectively) of the nanocomposite were within the limit for an efficient topical application. Carbopol 934 (2%) was used to prepare the UMB-MoS2 nanocomposite gel (F1) and UMB-Carbopol gel (F2, for comparative evaluation). The pH, spreadability, and viscosity of F1 were found to be 5.56, 5.89 g·cm/s, and 32.5 Pa-sec, respectively, which were optimal for the topical application of gel-based formulations. In vitro release characteristics of both formulations were deemed to be suitable for topical application, where F1 exhibited a biphasic drug release profile and a superior release rate of 94.8% compared to 43.5% for F2 at 24 h. In the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model, the animal group treated with F1 demonstrated the lowest increase in paw thickness of 26.6%, which was significantly lower as compared to the F2-treated group (52.9%) and the diclofenac sodium-treated group (32.2%). Similarly, in the tail immersion method, F1 exhibited the highest peak tail withdrawal latency of 10.9 s, significantly greater than F2 (8.9 s) and standard treatment (10 s), indicating the superior analgesic activity of F1. This pioneering work introduces a novel UMB-MoS2 nanocomposite with promising anti-inflammatory and analgesic potentials, paving the way for further research into the biomedical applications of MoS2-based nanocarriers.

Abstract
Here, we disclose the synthesis of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogels incorporating a squaraine dye (Sq) as a chemical crosslinker, viz. Sq@PHEMA. Photothermal and photodynamic features of Sq@PHEMA hydrogels are evaluated in detail. It is noteworthy that Sq@PHEMA induces hyperthermia upon irradiation with an 808 nm laser. Furthermore, Sq@PHEMA enables the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon irradiation with red light. To our delight, Sq@PHEMA hydrogels can be used as efficient dual photosensitizers pertinent to both PDT and PTT simultaneously. Finally, the hydrogels are loaded with methotrexate (MTX) to investigate controlled drug release behavior. It is noted that Sq@PHEMA hydrogels are promising candidates as drug delivery systems since on-demand MTX release is feasible upon irradiation. In summary, we effectively demonstrate that hydrogel cross-linker engineering allows for synergistic photodynamic and photothermal therapy. Furthermore, drug delivery is also feasible with the Sq@PHEMA core.

Abstract
While the continuous development of advanced bioprinting technologies is under fervent study, enhancing the regenerative potential of hydrogel-based constructs using external stimuli for wound dressing has yet to be tackled. Fibroblasts play a significant role in wound healing and tissue implants at different stages, including extracellular matrix production, collagen synthesis, and wound and tissue remodeling. This study explores the synergistic interplay between photothermal activity and nanomaterial-mediated cell proliferation. The use of different graphene-based materials (GBM) in the development of photoactive bioinks is investigated. In particular, we report the creation of a skin-inspired dressing for wound healing and regenerative medicine. Three distinct GBM, namely, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphene platelets (GP), were rigorously characterized, and their photothermal capabilities were elucidated. Our investigations revealed that rGO exhibited the highest photothermal efficiency and antibacterial properties when irradiated, even at a concentration as low as 0.05 mg/mL, without compromising human fibroblast viability. Alginate-based bioinks alongside human fibroblasts were employed for the bioprinting with rGO. The scaffold did not affect the survival of fibroblasts for 3 days after bioprinting, as cell viability was not affected. Remarkably, the inclusion of rGO did not compromise the printability of the hydrogel, ensuring the successful fabrication of complex constructs. Furthermore, the presence of rGO in the final scaffold continued to provide the benefits of photothermal antimicrobial therapy without detrimentally affecting fibroblast growth. This outcome underscores the potential of rGO-enhanced hydrogels in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Our findings hold promise for developing game-changer strategies in 4D bioprinting to create smart and functional tissue constructs with high fibroblast proliferation and promising therapeutic capabilities in drug delivery and bactericidal skin-inspired dressings.

Abstract
Rare earth metals (REMs), such as Dysprosium (Dy) and Ytterbium (Yb), have experienced unprecedented demand in recent times due to their applications in high-end technologies. REMs are found only in select geographic locations placing tremendous economic constraints on their use. In this work, we have developed Gum Acacia-grafted hydrogels (GmAc-FluoroTerPs) that are capable of selective detection and capture of Dy and Yb. The intrinsically blue fluorescent polymer hydrogel GmAc-FluoroTerP has been optimized for Dy(III) and Yb(III) specific quenching, enabling limit of detection of the REMs at 0.13 nM and 60.8 pM, respectively. A comprehensive structural characterization of the fluorescent hydrogel has been performed via NMR, FTIR, XPS, EPR, TGA, XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, TCSPC, and DLS. In addition to an in situ generated fluorophore, GmAc-FluoroTerP displays a distinctive aggregation induced emission enhancement in mixed solvents. The complexation of Dy(III)/Yb(III) with GmAc-FluoroTerP hydrogel has been characterized by XPS, TCSPC, and logic gate analyses, and the adsorptive capacity for Dy(III) and Yb(III) are found to be best reported till date as 125.57 mg g-1 and 102.27 mg g-1, respectively. Desorption at acidic pH allows recovery of the REMs. We also report semiconducting behaviour of the native fluorescent hydrogel, that is enhanced upon adsorptive capture of Dy(III) and Yb(III), with calculated band gaps at 1.37, 0.77, and 0.49 eV, respectively. The convergent sensing, capture, and reuse of Dy(III) and Yb(III) presented in this work promises a hitherto unreported template for application on other REMs.

Abstract
The issue of bacterial infectious diseases remains a significant concern worldwide, particularly due to the misuse of antibiotics, which has caused the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains. Fortunately, the rapid development of nanomaterials has propelled significant progress in antimicrobial therapy, offering promising solutions. Among them, the utilization of nanoenzyme-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has become a highly hopeful approach to combating bacterial infectious diseases. Nevertheless, the application of CDT appears to be facing certain constraints for its low efficiency in the Fenton reaction at the infected site. In this study, we have successfully synthesized a versatile nanozyme, which was a composite of molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) and iron sulfide (FeS2), through the hydrothermal method. The results showed that iron/molybdenum sulfide nanozymes (Fe/Mo SNZs) with desirable peroxidase (POD) mimic activity can generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) by successfully triggering the Fenton reaction. The presence of MoS2 significantly accelerates the conversion of Fe2+/Fe3+ through a cocatalytic reaction that involves the participation of redox pairs of Mo4+/Mo6+, thereby enhancing the efficiency of CDT. Additionally, based on the excellent photothermal performance of Fe/Mo SNZs, a near-infrared (NIR) laser was used to induce localized temperature elevation for photothermal therapy (PTT) and enhance the POD-like nanoenzymatic activity. Notably, both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that Fe/Mo SNZs with good broad-spectrum antibacterial properties can help eradicate Gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. The most exciting thing is that the synergistic PTT/CDT exhibited astonishing antibacterial ability and can achieve complete elimination of bacteria, which promoted wound healing after infection. Overall, this study presents a synergistic PTT/CDT strategy to address antibiotic resistance, providing avenues and directions for enhancing the efficacy of wound healing treatments and offering promising prospects for further clinical use in the near future.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 314:124190.

Abstract
Chemical dyes used in the textile industries are one of the major pollutants in water. Methylene blue (MB) is a commonly seen dye that creates hazardous health problems. In this article the photocatalytic degradation of MB by the nanocatalyst MoS2 (Nano-MoS2) and carbon dot (C Dots) incorporated MoS2 (Nano-CD-MoS2) is reported. The photocatalytic degradation of MB is analyzed based on the electron-hole recombination rate of the catalyst. Photoluminescence emission exhibited by the catalyst is used as a key indicator to probe the electron-hole recombination rate. Nano-MoS2 was synthesized hydrothermally at 180 0C for 8 h from ammonium tetra thiomolybdate (ATTM). C Dot was prepared following a green root from ash guard extract which later mixed with Nano-MoS2 and kept in an autoclave at a temperature 140 °C for 4 h to get Nano-CD-MoS2. The photoluminescence (PL) and photocatalytic behavior of Nano-MoS2 and Nano-CD-MoS2 and their application for water splitting and water purification are reported. The incorporation of graphene and artificial C Dot into MoS2 nanostructures are reported to increase the conductivity and active edge sites of MoS2 that enhances the photocatalytic action. Since green C Dots are eco-friendly and easily synthesizable than artificial C Dots, as a novel study, this article investigated the influence of green C Dots on the PL and photocatalytic performance of nanosized MoS2. Nano-MoS2 and Nano-CD-MoS2 exhibited both upconversion and downconversion PL; accordingly the nanostructures were termed as amphi-luminescent. The amphi-luminescence property widens the photon absorption range and hence enhances the catalytic degradation of dyes. Nano-MoS2 which exhibited lesser intensity of amphi-luminescence emission compared to Nano-CD-MoS2 showed better results in degradation of MB. C Dots may bind with the valence band electrons of MoS2, resulting in the reduction of dangling bonds. Dangling bonds can trap photo-induced excitons to hinder the rate of electron-hole recombination. So, fast electron-hole recombination occurs in Nano-CD-MoS2 than Nano-MoS2. Fast electron-hole recombination supports radiative electron-hole recombination while suppresses the non-radiative energy transfer of electrons and causes high PL intensity. However, according to the energy level diagram, Nano-MoS2 with minimal electron-hole recombination rate is more favorable for O2/O2-,.OH/ OH- and.OH/H2O reactions that facilitate MB degradation. Photocatalytic activity of catalysts were confirmed by measuring the photocurrent from a simple custom-made two-electrode water photolysis cell where the nanocatalysts were dispersed in electrolyte. Lead and steel rods were used as electrodes. Multimeter was used to measure current. Nano-MoS2 exhibited better performance with a maximum photocurrent of 141 µA. Influence of green C Dots in energy levels, PL and photocatalysis of MoS2 and mechanisms of PL and degradation of MB are thoroughly investigated in this article.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-based materials for piezocatalysis are unsatisfactory due to their low actual piezoelectric coefficient and poor electrical conductivity. Herein, 1T/3R phase MoS2 grown in situ on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was proposed. MoS2@MWCNTs exhibited the interwoven morphology of thin nanoflowers and tubes, and the piezoelectric response of MoS2@MWCNTs was 4.07 times higher than that of MoS2 via piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) characterization. MoS2@MWCNTs exhibited superior activity with a 91% degradation rate of norfloxacin (NOR) after actually working 24 min (as for rhodamine B, reached 100% within 18 min) by pulse-mode ultrasonic vibration-triggered piezocatalysis. It was found that piezocatalysis for removing pollutants was attributed to the synergistic effect of free radicals (•OH and O2•-) and nonfree radical (1O2, key role) pathways, together with the innergenerated-H2O2 promoting the degradation rate. 1O2 can be generated by electron transfer and energy transfer pathways. The presence of oxygen vacancies (OVs) induced the transformation of O2 to 1O2 by triplet energy transfer. The fast charge transfer in MoS2@MWCNTs heterostructure and the coexistence of sulfur vacancies and OVs enhanced charge carrier separation resulting in a prominent piezoelectric effect. This work opens up new avenues for the development of efficient piezocatalysts that can be utilized for environmental purification.

Abstract
A MoS2-based nanotherapeutic platform was developed for synergetic photothermal and photodynamic anti-tumor therapy. AIEgens TFPy-SH molecules were intercalated into MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 NSs) with S-deficiencies to give the nanocomposite MoS2-TFPy. The AIEgens intercalation expanded the interlayer spacing of MoS2 NSs and induced the transform of MoS2 crystal phase from 2H to 1T, offering MoS2-TFPy nanocomposite high molar absorption coefficient (5.65 L g-1 cm-1), excellent photothermal conversion efficiency under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation (38.3%), and favorable intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity. The positively charged MoS2-TFPy were mainly distributed in mitochondria after cell up-taking, and achieved 1+1>2 anti-tumor effect attributed to its favorable photothermal and photodynamic properties. The high structure and physiological stability, favorable biocompatibility, excellent photothermal and photodynamic therapy effect make the MoS2-TFPy nanoplatform an promising candidate in biomedical clinical applications.

Abstract
Nanozymes, as a type of nanomaterials with enzymatic catalytic activity, have demonstrated tremendous potential in cancer treatment owing to their unique biomedical properties. However, the heterogeneity of tumors and the complex tumor microenvironment pose significant challenges to the in vivo catalytic efficacy of traditional nanozymes. Drawing inspiration from natural enzymes, scientists are now using biomimetic design to build nanozymes from the ground up. This approach aims to replicate the key characteristics of natural enzymes, including active structures, catalytic processes, and the ability to adapt to the tumor environment. This achieves selective optimization of nanozyme catalytic performance and therapeutic effects. This review takes a deep dive into the use of these biomimetically designed nanozymes in cancer treatment. It explores a range of biomimetic design strategies, from structural and process mimicry to advanced functional biomimicry. A significant focus is on tweaking the nanozyme structures to boost their catalytic performance, integrating them into complex enzyme networks similar to those in biological systems, and adjusting functions like altering tumor metabolism, reshaping the tumor environment, and enhancing drug delivery. The review also covers the applications of specially designed nanozymes in pan-cancer treatment, from catalytic therapy to improved traditional methods like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy, specifically analyzing the anti-tumor mechanisms of different therapeutic combination systems. Through rational design, these biomimetically designed nanozymes not only deepen the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of nanozyme structure and performance but also adapt profoundly to tumor physiology, optimizing therapeutic effects and paving new pathways for innovative cancer treatment.

Biological effects of molybdenum(IV) sulfide nanoparticles and microparticles in the rat after repeated intratracheal administration. J Appl Toxicol 2024; 44:595-608.

Abstract
In this study, molybdenum(IV) sulfide (MoS2 ) nanoparticles (97 ± 32 nm) and microparticles (1.92 ± 0.64 μm) stabilized with poly (vinylpolypyrrolidone) (PVP) were administered intratracheally to male and female rats (dose of 1.5 or 5 mg/kg bw), every 14 days for 90 days (seven administrations in total). Blood parameters were assessed during and at the end of the study (hematology, biochemistry including glucose, albumins, uric acid, urea, high density lipoprotein HDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides, aspartate transaminase, and alanine transaminase ALT). Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) analyses included cell viability, biochemistry (total protein concentration, lactate dehydrogenase, and glutathione peroxidase activity), and cytokine levels (tumor necrosis factor α, TNF-α, macrophage inflammatory protein 2-alpha, MIP-2, and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-2, CINC-2). Tissues were subjected to routine histopathological and electron microscopy (STEM) examinations. No overt signs of chronic toxicity were observed. Differential cell counts in BALF revealed no significant differences between the animal groups. An increase in MIP-2 and a decrease in TNF-α were observed in BALF in the exposed males. The histopathological changes in the lung evaluated according to a developed classification system (based on severity of inflammation, range 0-4, with 4 indicating the most severe changes) showed average histopathological score of 1.33 for animals exposed to nanoparticles and microparticles at the lower dose, 1.72 after exposure to nanoparticles at the higher dose, and 2.83 for animals exposed to microparticles at the higher dose. In summary, it was shown that nanosized and microsized MoS2 can trigger dose-dependent inflammatory reactions in the lungs of rats after multiple intratracheal instillation irrespective of the animal sex. Some evidence indicates a higher lung pro-inflammatory potential of the microform.

Abstract
Pathological bacterial infection poses a serious threat to public health security. The excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in a serious decline in treatment effect and bacterial resistance. For the treatment of infected wounds, we compounded dopamine-assisted exfoliated molybdenum disulfide (MoS2@PDA) into lipoic acid modified chitosan (LAMC) to obtain a composite hydrogel dressing (LAMC-MoS2@PDA). LAMC-MoS2@PDA hydrogels exhibited excellent photothermal conversion ability and the LAMC-MoS2@PDA2 group (0.3 wt%) has a photothermal conversion efficiency of 26.29 %. Meanwhile, they showed good biocompatibility and ROS scavenging activity in vitro. Photothermal therapy usually utilizes photothermal agents to convert near-infrared light into heat energy for bacterial cell membrane destruction and bacterial protein inactivation. Under the near-infrared light irradiation, the antibacterial ratio of LAMC-MoS2@PDA hydrogels against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli reached nearly 100 %, and the morphology of the bacteria showed obvious contraction and cleavage. The hydrogels also showed an excellent antibacterial effect and wound healing promotion in the infected wound of rats. In particular, the LAMC-MoS2@PDA2 (+) group (with NIR) showed almost complete wound closure after 14 days, indicating that the LAMC-MoS2@PDA hydrogels have great potential in clinical anti-infected treatment.

Abstract
Biomarkers have the potential to be utilized in disease diagnosis, prediction and monitoring. The cancer cell type is a leading candidate for next-generation biomarkers. Although traditional digital biomolecular sensor (DBS) technology has shown to be effective in assessing cell-based interactions, low cell-population detection of cancer cell types is extremely challenging. Here, we controlled the electrical signature of a two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, tungsten disulfide (WS2), by utilizing a combination of the Phage-integrated Polymer and the Nanosheet (PPN), viz., the integration of the M13-conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG) and the WS2, through shape-complementarity phenomena, and developed a sensor system, i.e., the Phage-based DBS (P-DBS), for the specific, rapid, sensitive detection of clinically-relevant MCF-7 cells. The P-DBS attains a detection limit of 12 cells per μL, as well as a contrast of 1.25 between the MCF-10A sample signal and the MCF-7 sample signal. A reading length of 200 μs was further achieved, along with a relative cell viability of ∼100% for both MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells and with the PNN. Atomistic simulations reveal the structural origin of the shape complementarity-facilitated decrease in the output impedance of the P-DBS. The combination of previously unreported exotic sensing materials and digital sensor design represents an approach to unlocking the ultra-sensitive detection of cancer cell types and provides a promising avenue for early cancer diagnosis, staging and monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in women of childbearing age. Commonly used treatment methods, such as endocrine and surgical therapies, display poor therapeutic effects with a high relapse probability. Thus, novel treatments for endometriosis are required. METHODS In our study, polydopamine (PDA), letrozole (LTZ), and agarose (AG) hydrogels were combined to construct an injectable hydrogel with near-infrared controlled drug delivery named LTZ-PDA@AG hydrogel for endometriosis treatment. The release of letrozole can be accurately controlled by the near-infrared light intensity, exposure duration, polydopamine concentration, and hydrogel composition. Meanwhile, we isolated endometrial stromal cells from endometrium in patients with endometriosis, and constructed the rats' model of endometriosis to verify the biological effects of LTZ-PDA@AG hydrogel. RESULTS Owing to the sufficiently deep penetration of near-infrared light, the LTZ-PDA@AG hydrogel displayed a high temperature increase for efficient photothermal therapy. In addition, high local temperatures can further enhance the diffusion and penetration of letrozole, thereby achieving excellent therapeutic effect in vivo. Importantly, the in vivo and vitro test demonstrated the capacity of the nanocomposite hydrogel for endocrine-photothermal synergistic therapy and the biocompatibility. CONCLUSION Our work proposes a novel concept for precision endometriosis therapy by photothermal-enhanced endocrine therapy for endometriosis, which is proposed for the first time for the treatment of endometriosis and demonstrates excellent potential for further clinical translation. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable. LTZ-PDA@AG hydrogels were synthesized and displayed a high temperature increase for efficient photothermal therapy under NIR. The present study shows the capacity of the nanocomposite hydrogel for endocrine-photothermal synergistic therapy and the biocompatibility.

Abstract
The accidental discovery of carbon dots (CDs) back in 2004 has led to their widespread use in the biomedical field. CDs have demonstrated their effectiveness in reporting 3D structures of biological specimens, identifying normal and cancer cells, and even detecting analytes within cells. However, the limitations of blue-green emitting CDs, such as their shallow penetration, photodamage, and auto-fluorescence, have hindered their practical applications. To overcome these limitations, red emissive CDs (RCDs) have been developed, which have deep tissue penetration, minimal photo-damage, low auto-fluorescence, and high imaging contrast. In this article, we present a thorough review on the use of RCDs in biomedical applications, including in vivo and in vitro bioimaging, photoacoustic imaging, monitoring temperature and polarity changes in living cells, tumour therapy, and drug delivery. With the rapid progress being made in the development of RCDs for intracellular applications, their clinical application is expected to become a reality in the near future.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has been widely reported as a noninvasive and high-penetration therapy for cancer; however, the design of an efficient sonosensitizer remains an urgent need. To address this issue, molybdenum disulfide nanoflowers (MoS2 NF) as piezo-sonosensitizers and introduced sulfur vacancies on the MoS2 NF (Sv-MoS2 NF) to improve their piezoelectric property for cancer therapy are designed. Under ultrasonic mechanical stress, the Sv-MoS2 NF resulted in piezoelectric polarization and band tilting, which enhanced the charge carrier separation and migration. This resulted in an improved catalytic reaction for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, ultimately enhancing the SDT performance. Thanks to the high efficiency of ROS generation, the Sv-MoS2 NF have demonstrated a good anticancer effect in vitro and in vivo. Following a systematic evaluation, Sv-MoS2 NF also demonstrated good biocompatibility. This novel piezo-sonosensitizer and vacancy engineering strategy provides a promising new approach for achieving efficient SDT.

Abstract
The combination of imaging and different therapeutic strategies into one single nanoplatform often demonstrates improved efficacy over monotherapy in cancer treatments. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform (labelled as MPRD) based on molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs) is developed to achieve enhanced antitumor efficiency by integrating fluorescence imaging, tumor-targeting and synergistic chemo/photodynamic therapy (PDT) into one system. First, polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated MoS2 QDs (MP) with desirable stability are synthesized via a hydrothermal process using MoS2 QDs and carboxyamino-terminated oligomeric PEG as raw materials. Then, MP were conjugated with arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide via amidation to form a novel nanocarrier (MPR), which possesses strong blue fluorescence, good biocompatibility and ανβ3 receptor-mediated targeting ability. More importantly, MPR generated reactive oxygen species under 808 nm laser activation to realize targeted antitumor PDT. Further doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded onto MPR, which endows MPRD with localized chemotherapy and pH-responsive drug release. The MPRD exhibits improved chemotherapy performance on HepG2 cells (overexpressing integrin ανβ3) owing to enhanced cellular uptake mediated by ανβ3 receptor and effective drug release triggered by intracellular pH. Notably, MPRD with efficient tumor targeting ability and high chemo/PDT efficacy under NIR laser irradiation is capable of inhibiting HepG2 tumor cell growth both in vitro and in vivo, which is significantly superior to each individual therapy. These findings demonstrate that MPRD holds great potential in effective cancer therapy.

[PMID: 37232885 DOI: 10.3390/bios13050524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
The toxicity of commonly used drugs, such as acetaminophen (ACAP) and its degradation-derived metabolite of 4-aminophenol (4-AP), underscores the need to achieve an effective approach in their simultaneous electrochemical determination. Hence, the present study attempts to introduce an ultra-sensitive disposable electrochemical 4-AP and ACAP sensor based on surface modification of a screen-printed graphite electrode (SPGE) with a combination of MoS2 nanosheets and a nickel-based metal organic framework (MoS2/Ni-MOF/SPGE sensor). A simple hydrothermal protocol was implemented to fabricate MoS2/Ni-MOF hybrid nanosheets, which was subsequently tested for properties using valid techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The 4-AP detection behavior on MoS2/Ni-MOF/SPGE sensor was followed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Our experimental findings on the generated sensor confirmed a broad linear dynamic range (LDR) for 4-AP from 0.1 to 600 μM with a high sensitivity of 0.0666 μA/μM and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.04 μM. In addition, an analysis of real specimens such as tap water sample as well as a commercial sample (acetaminophen tablets) illuminated the successful applicability of as-developed sensor in determining ACAP and 4-AP, with an impressive recovery rate.

Abstract
Piezoelectric nanomaterials that can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) by piezoelectric polarization under an external mechanical force have emerged as an effective platform for cancer therapy. In this study, piezoelectric 2D WS2 nanosheets are functionalized with mitochondria-targeting triphenylphosphonium (TPP) for ultrasound (US)-triggered, mitochondria-targeted piezodynamic cancer therapy. In addition, a glycolysis inhibitor (FX11) that can inhibit cellular energy metabolism is loaded into TPP- and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-conjugated WS2 nanosheet (TPEG-WS2 ) to potentiate its therapeutic efficacy. Upon US irradiation, the sono-excited electrons and holes generated in the WS2 are efficiently separated by piezoelectric polarization, which subsequently promotes the production of ROS. FX11-loaded TPEG-WS2 (FX11@TPEG-WS2 ) selectively accumulates in the mitochondria of human breast cancer cells. In addition, FX11@TPEG-WS2 effectively inhibits the production of adenosine triphosphate . Thus, FX11@TPEG-WS2 exhibits outstanding anticancer effects under US irradiation. An in vivo study using tumor-xenograft mice demonstrates that FX11@TPEG-WS2 effectively accumulated in the tumors. Its tumor accumulation is visualized using in vivo computed tomography . Notably, FX11@TPEG-WS2 with US irradiation remarkably suppresses the tumor growth of mice without systemic toxicity. This study demonstrates that the combination of piezodynamic therapy and energy metabolism-targeted chemotherapy using mitochondria-targeting 2D WS2 is a novel strategy for the selective and effective treatment of tumors.

Abstract
A sequential delivery system based on MoS2 nanoflower (MoS2 NF) doped chitosan (CS)/oxidized dextran (OD) hydrogels is developed for the treatment of colon cancer. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is combined with polyethylenimine (PEI) decorated MoS2 NF via electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding, and the obtained 5-FU/PEI/MoS2 is encapsulated by 1-tetradecanol (TD), a commonly used phase transition material. The resultant TD/5-FU/PEI/MoS2 (TFPM) is then co-encapsulated with methotrexate (MTX) in the CS/OD hydrogels generated via Schiff base reaction and electrostatic attraction. Because the electrostatic attraction between CS and OD is pH-sensitive, MTX and TD/5-FU/PEI/MoS2 can be easily released from the hydrogels at pH 7.4. MoS2 is an outstanding photothermal agent, and the generated hyperthermia under near infrared (NIR) irradiation can lead to the melting of TD and the consequent release of 5-FU encapsulated. More importantly, the generated hyperthermia under NIR irradiation can realize the chemo-photothermal synergistic tumor therapy. Finally, the practicability of the developed sequential delivery system is demonstrated by cytotoxicity test.

Boosting the Catalytic Performance of AuAg Alloyed Nanoparticles Grafted on MoS 2 Nanoflowers through NIR-Induced Light-to-Thermal Energy Conversion. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:1074. [PMID: 36985968 PMCID: PMC10058585 DOI: 10.3390/nano13061074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
MoS2 nanoflowers (NFs) obtained through a hydrothermal approach were used as the substrate for the deposition of tiny spherical bimetallic AuAg or monometallic Au nanoparticles (NPs), leading to novel photothermal-assisted catalysts with different hybrid nanostructures and showing improved catalytic performance under NIR laser irradiation. The catalytic reduction of pollutant 4-nitrophenol (4-NF) to the valuable product 4-aminophenol (4-AF) was evaluated. The hydrothermal synthesis of MoS2 NFs provides a material with a broad absorption in the Vis-NIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The in situ grafting of alloyed AuAg and Au NPs of very small size (2.0-2.5 nm) was possible through the decomposition of organometallic complexes [Au2Ag2(C6F5)4(OEt2)2]n and [Au(C6F5)(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) using triisopropilsilane as reducing agent, leading to nanohybrids 1-4. The new nanohybrid materials display photothermal properties arising from NIR light absorption of the MoS2 NFs component. The AuAg-MoS2 nanohybrid 2 showed excellent photothermal-assisted catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-NF, which is better than that of the monometallic Au-MoS2 nanohybrid 4. The obtained nanohybrids were characterised by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), High Angle Annular Dark Field-Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (HAADF-STEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Pre-coating with a protein corona on the surface of nanomaterials (NMs) is an important strategy for reducing non-specific serum protein absorption while maintaining targeting specificity. Here, we present lipoic acid-terminated polyethylene glycol and transferrin bi-functionalized MoS2 nanosheets (Tf@MoS2-PEG NSs) as a feasible approach to enhance cellular uptake. Tf@MoS2-PEG NSs can maintain good dispersion stability in cell culture medium and effectively protect MoS2 NSs from oxidation in ambient aqueous conditions. Competitive adsorption experiments indicate that transferrin was more prone to bind MoS2 NSs than bovine serum albumin (BSA). It is noteworthy that single HepG2 cell uptake of Tf@MoS2-PEG presented a heterogeneous distribution pattern, and the cellular uptake amount spanned a broader range (from 0.4 fg to 2.4 fg). Comparatively, the intracellular Mo masses in HepG2 cells treated with BSA@MoS2-PEG and MoS2-PEG showed narrower distribution, indicating homogeneous uptake in the single HepG2 cells. Over 5% of HepG2 cells presented uptake of the Tf@MoS2-PEG over 1.2 fg of Mo, about three-fold that of BSA@MoS2-PEG (0.4 fg of Mo). Overall, this work suggests that Tf coating enhances the cellular uptake of MoS2 NSs and is a promising strategy for improving the intracellular uptake efficiency of cancer cells.

Abstract
Over the last decades, photomedicine has made a significant impact and progress in treating superficial cancer. With tremendous efforts many of the technologies have entered clinical trials. Photothermal agents (PTAs) have been considered as emerging candidates for accelerating the outcome from photomedicine based cancer treatment. Besides various inorganic and organic candidates, 2D materials such as graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenum disulfide have shown significant potential for photothermal therapy (PTT). The properties such as high surface area to volume, biocompatibility, stability in physiological media, ease of synthesis and functionalization, and high photothermal conversion efficiency have made 2D nanomaterials wonderful candidates for PTT to treat cancer. The targeting or localized activation could be achieved when PTT is combined with chemotherapies, immunotherapies, or photodynamic therapy (PDT) to provide better outcomes with fewer side effects. Though significant development has been made in the field of phototherapeutic drugs, several challenges have restricted the use of PTT in clinical use and hence they have not yet been tested in large clinical trials. In this review, we attempted to discuss the progress, properties, applications, and challenges of 2D materials in the field of PTT and their application in photomedicine.

Abstract
Targeting the delivery of anti-cancer drugs to a tumor site is essential for effective treatment and to ensure minimal damage to healthy cells and tissues. In this work, a chitosan-based nanoplatform was constructed for combined photothermal therapy and chemotherapy of breast cancer. The pH-sensitive and biocompatible biopolymer chitosan (CS) was grafted with N-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) and modified with biotin (Bio), imparting it with temperature sensitive property and also the ability for active targeting. The polymer self-assembled to give nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and doxorubicin (DOX). When the NPs are exposed to near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, ICG converts the light to heat, inducing a significant phase transition in the NPs and facilitating the release of the drug cargo. In addition, the solubility of chitosan is increased in the slightly acidic microenvironment of the tumor site, which also promotes drug release. A detailed analysis of the NPs both in vitro and in vivo showed that the carrier system is biocompatible, while the drug-loaded NPs are selectively taken up by cancer cells. Particularly when augmented with NIR irradiation, this leads to potent cell death in vitro and also in an in vivo murine xenograft model of breast cancer.

Abstract
Promising results in clinical studies have been demonstrated by the utilization of electrothermal agents (ETAs) in cancer therapy. However, a difficulty arises from the balance between facilitating the degradation of ETAs, and at the same time, increasing the electrothermal performance/stability required for highly efficient treatment. In this study, we controlled the thermal signature of the MoS2 by harnessing MoS2 nanostructures with M13 phage (MNM) via the structural assembling (hydrophobic interaction) phenomena and developed a combined PANC-1 cancer cell-MNM alternating current (AC)-stimulus framework for cancer cell ablation and electrothermal therapy. A percentage decrease in the cell viability of ~23% was achieved, as well as a degradation time of 2 weeks; a stimulus length of 100 μs was also achieved. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations revealed the assembling kinetics in integrated M13 phage-cancer cell protein systems and the structural origin of the hydrophobic interaction-enabled increase in thermal conduction. This study not only introduced an 'ideal' agent that avoided the limitations of ETAs but also provided a proof-of-concept application of MoS2-based materials in efficacious cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this work, MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4 ternary hybrid photocatalyst was synthesized by sonicated precursor mixture to the hydrothermal procedure to generate a highly efficient solar light-induced and simply recyclable photocatalyst. The obtained hybrid was confirmed by the characteristic peaks of MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4 observed in X-ray diffraction (14.31°/18.62°/28.18°), infrared spectra (465/445/679 cm-1), ultraviolet-visible spectra (636/683/639 nm) studies, and the band-gap narrowing (2.62/2.44/2.25 eV). The morphological structure of MoS2 (rod), Mg(OH)2 (particles), and BiVO4 (random aggregates) were turned into MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4 hierarchical nanosheets that coexisted with particles. The photodegradation experiments of the photocatalysts were assessed by using Congo Red (CR), Malachite Green (MG) and Textile Industry Effluent (TIE) as the model pollutant under direct sunlight. The photocatalytic efficiency of the hybrids was noticeably 2.1 to 2.3 times higher than that of the individual components. Photocurrent response test indicate that MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4 ternary hybrid nanocomposites photocatalysts had a more effective electron/hole pair separation than individual and binary composite photocatalysts. The mechanism of photodegradation of MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4ternary hybrid photocatalysts was investigated and discussed.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus accompanies an abnormally high glucose level in the bloodstream. Early diagnosis and proper glycemic management of blood glucose are essential to prevent further progression and complications. Biosensor-based colorimetric detection has progressed and shown potential in portable and inexpensive daily assessment of glucose levels because of its simplicity, low-cost, and convenient operation without sophisticated instrumentation. Colorimetric glucose biosensors commonly use natural enzymes that recognize glucose and chromophores that detect enzymatic reaction products. However, many natural enzymes have inherent defects, limiting their extensive application. Recently, nanozyme-based colorimetric detection has drawn attention due to its merits including high sensitivity, stability under strict reaction conditions, flexible structural design with low-cost materials, and adjustable catalytic activities. This review discusses various nanozyme materials, colorimetric analytic methods and mechanisms, recent machine learning based analytic methods, quantification systems, applications and future directions for monitoring and managing diabetes.

Abstract
Herein, we present the facile design and construction of a nanodrug system integrating targeted drug delivery and synergistic chemo-photothermal antitumor activity. MoS2 nanosheets were synthesized and modified by ανβ3 integrin binding peptide (Arg-Gly-Asp, RGD) using lipoic acid functionalized polyethylene glycol (LA-PEG-COOH), forming a well dispersed and targeted delivery nanocarrier. Further, covalent coupling of antitumor drug, thiolated doxorubicin (DOX) via disulfide linkage resulted in a novel nanodrug, RGD/MoS2/DOX. The prepared nanocarrier showed favorable stability, biocompatibility and photothermal conversion efficiency. Fluorescence imaging revealed that Hela cells could endocytose far more nanodrug than H9c2 normal myocardial cells due to the targeted delivery characteristic. Particularly, GSH-induced disulfide bond cleavage facilitated the effective release of DOX from the nanodrug in the tumor microenvironment. The survival rate of Hela cells incubated with the nanodrug for 48 h was 22.2 ± 1.2%, which dramatically reduced to 8.9 ± 1.4% in combination with 808 nm NIR irradiation, demonstrating powerful photothermal induced tumor-killing efficacy. In contrast, the survival rates of H9c2 cells treated by the nanodrug and free DOX were 68.5 ± 2.6% and 6.7 ± 2.6%, respectively, an indication of the notably alleviated cardiotoxicity of the designed nanodrug. The cell apoptosis experiment further verified the synergistic chemo-photothermal effect, thus paving a way toward design of high-efficiency and low-toxicity antitumor nanodrug.

Abstract
Developing novel nanostructures and advanced nanotechnologies for cancer treatment has attracted ever-increasing interest. Electrothermal therapy offers many advantages such as high efficiency and minimal invasiveness, but finding a balance between increasing stability of the nanostructure state and, at the same time, enhancing the nanostructure biodegradability presents a key challenge. Here, we modulate the biodegradation process of two-dimensional-material-based nanostructures by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) via nanostructure disrupt-and-release effects. We then demonstrate the development of a previously unreported alternating current (AC) pulse WS2/PEG nanostructure system for enhancing therapeutic performance. A decrease in cell viability of ∼42% for MCF-7 cells with WS2/PEG was achieved, which is above an average of ∼25% for current electrothermal-based therapeutic methods using similar energy densities, as well as degradation time of the WS2 of ∼1 week, below an average of ∼3.5 weeks for state-of-the-art nanostructure-based systems in physiological media. Moreover, the incubation time of MCF-7 cells with WS2/PEG reached ∼24 h, which is above the average of ∼4.5 h for current electrothermal-based therapeutic methods and with the use of the amount of time harnessed to incubate the cells with nanostructures before applying a stimulus as a measure of incubation time. Material characterizations further disclose the degradation of WS2 and the grafting of PEG on WS2 surfaces. These WS2-based systems offer strong therapeutic performance and, simultaneously, maintain excellent biodegradability/biocompatibility, thus providing a promising route for the ablation of cancer.

Abstract
In this work, flower-like molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) microspheres were produced with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to form MoS2-PEG. Likewise, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were added to form MoS2-PEG/Au to investigate its potential application as a theranostic nanomaterial. These nanomaterials were fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron X-ray spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. The produced hierarchical MoS2-PEG/Au microstructures showed an average diameter of 400 nm containing distributed gold nanoparticles, with great cellular viability on tumoral and non-tumoral cells. This aspect makes them with multifunctional characteristics with potential application for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Through the complete morphological and physicochemical characterization, it was possible to observe that both MoS2-PEG and MoS2-PEG/Au showed good chemical stability and demonstrated noninterference in the pattern of the cell nucleus, as well. Thus, our results suggest the possible application of these hybrid nanomaterials can be immensely explored for theranostic proposals in biomedicine.

Abstract
The formation of nanobiohybrids through the immobilization of enzymes on functional nanomaterials has opened up exciting research opportunities at the nanobiointerfaces. These systems hold great promise for a wide range of applications in biosensing, biocatalytic, and biomedical fields. Here, we report the formation of a hybrid nanobiocatalytic system through the adsorption of cytochrome c (Cyt c) on pluronic triblock copolymer, P123 (PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO), stabilized MoS2 nanosheets. The use of pluronic polymer has helped not only to greatly stabilize the exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets but also to allow easy adsorption of Cyt c on the nanosheets without major structural changes due to its excellent biocompatibility and soft protein-binding property. By comparing the catalytic activity of the Cyt c-MoS2 nanobiohybrid with that of the free Cyt c and as-prepared MoS2 nanosheets, we have demonstrated the active role of the nanobiointeractions in enhancing the catalytic activity of the hybrid. Slight structural perturbation at the active site of the Cyt c upon adsorption on MoS2 has primarily facilitated the peroxidase activity of the Cyt c. As the MoS2 nanosheets and the native Cyt c individually exhibit weaker intrinsic peroxidase activities, their mutual modulation at the nanobiointerface has made the Cyt c-MoS2 a novel nanobiocatalyst with superior activity.

Abstract
Advanced catalysis triggered by photothermal conversion effects has aroused increasing interest due to its huge potential in environmental purification. In this work, we developed a novel approach to the fast degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-Nip) using porous MoS2 nanoparticles as catalysts, which integrate the intrinsic catalytic property of MoS2 with its photothermal conversion capability. Using assembled polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) block copolymers as soft templates, various MoS2 particles were prepared, which exhibited tailored morphologies (e.g., pomegranate-like, hollow, and open porous structures). The photothermal conversion performance of these featured particles was compared under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. Intriguingly, when these porous MoS2 particles were further employed as catalysts for the reduction of 4-Nip, the reaction rate constant was increased by a factor of 1.5 under NIR illumination. We attribute this catalytic enhancement to the open porous architecture and light-to-heat conversion performance of the MoS2 particles. This contribution offers new opportunities for efficient photothermal-assisted catalysis.

Abstract
The development of new effective cancer treatment methods has attracted much attention, mainly due to the limited efficacy and considerable side effects of currently used cancer treatment methods such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Photothermal therapy based on the use of plasmonically resonant metallic nanoparticles has emerged as a promising technique to eradicate cancer cells selectively. In this method, plasmonic nanoparticles are first preferentially uptaken by a tumor and then selectively heated by exposure to laser radiation with a specific plasmonic resonant wavelength, to destroy the tumor whilst minimizing damage to adjacent normal tissue. However, several parameters can limit the effectiveness of photothermal therapy, resulting in insufficient heating and potentially leading to cancer recurrence. One of these parameters is the patient's pain sensation during the treatment, if this is performed without use of anesthetic. Pain can restrict the level of applicable laser radiation, cause an interruption to the treatment course and, as such, affect its efficacy, as well as leading to a negative patient experience and consequential general population hesitancy to this type of therapy. Since having a comfortable and painless procedure is one of the important treatment goals in the clinic, along with its high effectiveness, and due to the relatively low number of studies devoted to this specific topic, we have compiled this review. Moreover, non-invasive and painless methods for temperature measurement during photothermal therapy (PTT), such as Raman spectroscopy and nanothermometry, will be discussed in the following. Here, we firstly outline the physical phenomena underlying the photothermal therapy, and then discuss studies devoted to photothermal cancer treatment concerning pain management and pathways for improved efficiency of photothermal therapy whilst minimizing pain experienced by the patient.

Voltammetric Determination of Isoniazid in the Presence of Acetaminophen Utilizing MoS2-Nanosheet-Modified Screen-Printed Electrode. MICROMACHINES 2022; 13:mi13030369. [PMID: 35334661 PMCID: PMC8955440 DOI: 10.3390/mi13030369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
We used MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 NSs) for surface modification of screen-printed electrode (MoS2NSs-SPE) aimed at detecting isoniazid (INZ) in the presence of acetaminophen (AC). According to analysis, an impressive catalytic performance was found for INZ and AC electro-oxidation, resulting in an appreciable peak resolution (~320 mV) for both analytes. Chronoamperometry, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), linear sweep voltammogram (LSV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were employed to characterize the electrochemical behaviors of the modified electrode for the INZ detection. Under the optimal circumstances, there was a linear relationship between the peak current of oxidation and the various levels of INZ (0.035–390.0 µM), with a narrow limit of detection (10.0 nM). The applicability of the as-developed sensor was confirmed by determining the INZ and AC in tablets and urine specimens, with acceptable recoveries.

Abstract
In recent years, nanozymes based on two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have been receiving great interest for cancer photothermal therapy. 2D materials decorated with nanoparticles (NPs) on their surface are advantageous over conventional NPs and 2D material based systems because of their ability to synergistically improve the unique properties of both NPs and 2D materials. In this work, we report a nanozyme based on flower-like MoS2nanoflakes (NFs) by decorating their flower petals with NCeO2using polyethylenimine (PEI) as a linker molecule. A detailed investigation on toxicity, biocompatibility and degradation behavior of fabricated nanozymes in wild-typeDrosophila melanogastermodel revealed that there were no significant effects on the larval size, morphology, larval length, breadth and no time delay in changing larvae to the third instar stage at 7-10 d for MoS2NFs before and after NCeO2decoration. The muscle contraction and locomotion behavior of third instar larvae exhibited high distance coverage for NCeO2decorated MoS2NFs when compared to bare MoS2NFs and control groups. Notably, the MoS2and NCeO2-PEI-MoS2NFs treated groups at 100μg ml-1covered a distance of 38.2 mm (19.4% increase when compared with control) and 49.88 mm (no change when compared with control), respectively. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy investigations on the new born fly gut showed that the NCeO2decoration improved the degradation rate of MoS2NFs. Hence, nanozymes reported here have huge potential in various fields ranging from biosensing, cancer therapy and theranostics to tissue engineering and the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and retinal therapy.

Abstract
Here, we report the synthesis of MoS2/graphene heterostructure in single-stage, liquid-phase exfoliation using a 7:3 isopropyl alcohol/water mixture. Further, the synthesized heterostructure was characterized using UV-visible and micro-Raman spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. UV-visible and micro-Raman analyses confirmed that the synthesized heterostructure had mostly few-layered (two-to-four sheets) MoS2. The photophysical properties of the heterostructure were analyzed using steady-state and time-resolved luminescence techniques. Enhanced photoluminescence was observed in the case of the heterostructure probably due to an increase in the defect sites or reduction in the rate of nonradiative decay upon formation of the sandwiched heterostructure. Applications of this heterostructure for fluorescence live-cell imaging were carried out, and the heterostructure demonstrated a better luminescence contrast compared to its individual counterpart MoS2 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).

Abstract
In this work, improved fracture toughness of tetra-functional epoxy polymer was obtained using two-dimensional (2H polytype) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nano-platelets as a filler. Simultaneous in-situ exfoliation and functionalization of MoS2 were achieved in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) via sonication. The aim was to improve the dispersion of MoS2 nanoplatelets in epoxy and enhance the interfacial interaction between nanoplatelets and epoxy matrix. Epoxy nanocomposites with CTAB functionalized MoS2 (f-MoS2) nanoplatelets, ranging in content from 0.1 wt% up to 1 wt%, were fabricated. Modified MoS2 improved the fracture properties (81%) of tetrafunctional epoxy nanocomposites. The flexural strength and compressive strength improved by 64% and 47%, respectively, with 0.25 wt% loading of f-MoS2 nanoplatelets compared to neat epoxy. The addition of f-MoS2 nanoplatelets enhanced the thermomechanical properties of epoxy. This work demonstrated the potential of organically modified MoS2 nanoplatelets for improving the fracture and thermal behavior of tetrafunctional epoxy nanocomposites.

Abstract
Attaining a synergistic merge between the performance of homogenous catalysts and the recyclability of heterogeneous catalysts remains until now a concerning issue. The main challenge is to design efficient, low-cost catalyst with outstanding reusability, facile recovery, and ease of retrieval and monitoring between the reuses. Despite the vast efforts in the development of silver nanoparticle-based catalyst for the reaction of hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol, the aforementioned criteria are infrequently found in a chosen system. Herein, we report a MoS2 nanosheet/silver nanoparticle-anchored PES-based textile as an efficient and recyclable "dip catalyst" for the 4-NP hydrogenation in the presence of sodium bohydride as model reaction. The textile fabric-based catalyst was processed via a simple sono-coating approach using MoS2 nanosheets as first coating layer followed by an in situ deposition of silver nanoparticles. The "dip catalyst" fabric is rapidly and easily removed from the reaction and then reinserted in the batch system to attain over 10 reaction cycles. Additionally, the produced textile materials were characterized via spectroscopic and microscopic tools such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX. Moreover, the sources of the high catalytic activity are also discussed and a plausible reaction mechanism is suggested. The present study demonstrates the potential of metal nanoparticle-textile material combination for future applications in chemical sustainable catalysis for environmental remediation purposes.

Abstract
Light-responsive nanocomposites have become increasingly attractive in the biomedical field for antibacterial applications. Visible-light-activated metallic molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (1T-MoS2 NSs) and plasmonic gold nanorods (AuNRs) with absorption at a wavelength of 808 nm were synthesized. AuNR nanocomposites decorated onto 1T-MoS2 NSs (MoS2@AuNRs) were successfully prepared by electrostatic adsorption for phototherapy applications. Based on the photothermal effect, the solution temperature of the MoS2@AuNR nanocomposites increased from 25 to 66.7 °C after 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation for 10 min. For the photodynamic effect, the MoS2@AuNR nanocomposites generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) under visible light irradiation. Photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy of MoS2@AuNRs were confirmed against E. coli by agar plate counts. Most importantly, the combination of photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy from the MoS2@AuNR nanocomposites revealed higher antibacterial activity than photothermal or photodynamic therapy alone. The light-activated MoS2@AuNR nanocomposites exhibited a remarkable synergistic effect of photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy, which provides an alternative approach to fight bacterial infections.

Abstract
Molybdenum is a trace dietary element necessary for the survival of humans. Some molybdenum-bearing enzymes are involved in key metabolic activities in the human body (such as xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase and sulfite oxidase). Many molybdenum-based compounds have been widely used in biomedical research. Especially, MoS2-nanomaterials have attracted more attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment recently because of their unique physical and chemical properties. MoS2 can adsorb various biomolecules and drug molecules via covalent or non-covalent interactions because it is easy to modify and possess a high specific surface area, improving its tumor targeting and colloidal stability, as well as accuracy and sensitivity for detecting specific biomarkers. At the same time, in the near-infrared (NIR) window, MoS2 has excellent optical absorption and prominent photothermal conversion efficiency, which can achieve NIR-based phototherapy and NIR-responsive controlled drug-release. Significantly, the modified MoS2-nanocomposite can specifically respond to the tumor microenvironment, leading to drug accumulation in the tumor site increased, reducing its side effects on non-cancerous tissues, and improved therapeutic effect. In this review, we introduced the latest developments of MoS2-nanocomposites in cancer diagnosis and therapy, mainly focusing on biosensors, bioimaging, chemotherapy, phototherapy, microwave hyperthermia, and combination therapy. Furthermore, we also discuss the current challenges and prospects of MoS2-nanocomposites in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Presently, antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) have been commonly found in environment, such as air, soil and lakes. Therefore, it is urgent and necessary to prepare antimicrobial agents with excellent anti-antibiotic resistant bacteria. In our research, poly-ethylene glycol functionalized molybdenum disulfide nanoflowers (PEG-MoS2 NFs) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method. As-prepared PEG-MoS2 NFs displayed excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (30.6%) and photothermal stability. Under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation for 10 min, the inhibition rate of tetracycline-resistant Bacillus tropicalis and Stenotrophomonas malphilia reached more than 95% at the concentration of 50 μg/mL. More interestingly, the photothermal effect of PEG-MoS2 NFs could accelerate the oxidation of glutathione, resulting in the rapid death of bacteria. A functionalized PEG-MoS2 NFs photothermal anti-antibiotic resistant system was constructed successfully.
