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

Biodegradable magnesium ion-doped silica-based molecularly imprinted nanoparticles for targeting tumor cells to drugs controlled release and recognition mechanism research. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 217:112665. [PMID: 35777166 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.112665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
Herein, we designed and constructed a novel biodegradable molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (Mg-SMSNs/DOX-Ce6 @MIPs) using a new degradable functional monomer prepared by glycerol and lactide, on magnesium ion-doped stellated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Mg-SMSNs). These nanoparticles loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) were used to target sialic acid (SA) overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells and release drugs in response to the tumor microenvironment. The molecularly imprinted layer avoided premature drug leakage, meanwhile, the large number of ester bonds contained in the functional monomers in the layer degraded by protonation in the tumor microenvironment to expose the drugs. Mg2+ doping in SMSNs enhanced the degradation performance in tumor microenvironment to achieve tumor-responsive drug release. The multifunctional monomers increased the interaction with SA, enhanced the binding force, and accurately targeted recognition was obtained. The recognition mechanism of Mg-SMSNs/DOX-Ce6 @MIPs to SA and drug release were investigated by model analysis. The cytotoxicity and cellular targeting of Mg-SMSNs/DOX-Ce6 @MIPs revealed that Mg-SMSNs/DOX-Ce6 @MIPs could specifically recognize SA to target MCF-7 tumor cells without interference. Under laser irradiation, Ce6 and DOX could achieve synergistic treatment to tumor cells. Mg-SMSNs/DOX-Ce6 @MIPs present good biological abilities in terms of active targeting, pH-responsiveness, antitumor efficiency and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Enriching the application of multifunctional dendritic mesoporous organosilica (DMOS) is still challenging in anti-cancer research. Herein, manganese ions, iron ions, or cobalt ions and tetrasulfide bonds are co-incorporated into the framework of DMOS to yield multifunctional nanoparticles denoted as Mn-DMOS, Fe-DMOS, or Co-DMOS by directly doping metal ions during the synthetic process. Due to co-incorporation of metal ions and tetrasulfide bonds, these designed nanocarriers have more functions rather than only for cargo delivery. As proof of concept, the nanocomposite is established based on Mn-DMOS as an efficient nanocarrier for indocyanine green (ICG) delivery and modification with polyethylene glycol. In the tumor microenvironment, the generated hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) arising from the reaction between tetrasulfide bond and over-expressed glutathione (GSH) causes mitochondrial injury to reduce cellular respiration. The released Mn2+ from the rapidly decomposed nanocomposite catalyzes the endogenous hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen (O2 ). The photothermal effect from the released ICG initiated by the near-infrared light induces cancer cells apoptosis and simultaneously enhances the content of blood O2 at tumor sites. Therefore, due to the GSH depletion and trimodal O2 compensation, the photodynamic therapy efficiency of ICG has significantly improved. In brief, these designed nanocarriers will play advanced roles in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Given the difficulties of biodegradation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NPs), enrichment and penetration of tumor sites, and real-time monitoring of the treatment process, we developed a kind of mannose-doping doxorubicin-loading mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN-Man-DOX) and coated by polydopamine-Gd3+ (PDAGd) metal-phenolic networks, as well as modified by poly (2-Ethyl-2-Oxazoline) (PEOz), constructing a novel nanomedicine MSN-Man-DOX@PDA-Gd-PEOz. Its pH-responsive charge reversal, photothermal, biodegradation, drug release, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties were evaluated in vitro. Cellular uptake, tumor penetration, lysosomal escape properties, as well as cell safety and toxicity of the nanoplatform were investigated through cell experiments. Finally, the MRI, organ distribution, photothermal condition, and comprehensive anti-tumor therapy in vivo were evaluated comprehensively through animal experiments. Research results showed that MSN-Man-DOX@PDA-Gd-PEOz had outstanding tumor enrichment and penetration abilities, which can produce excellent treatment effects through the synergistic effect of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) with the function of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent for disease monitoring. Besides, after finishing the therapeutic effect MSN-Man-DOX@PDA-Gd-PEOz can be biodegraded, so it had a good prospect of clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnesium alloy implants have lower stress load and can be absorbed gradually, but their degradation rates are too fast generally. A magnesium alloy contained 5% Zn and 0.5% Zr (ZK50) which have lower degradation rate are designed to be applied to cannulated bone screw. METHODS An oxidation heat treatment of 380 °C for 2 h proceeds to modify the ZK50 Mg alloy (ZK50-H). The microstructure observation, degradation tests and Biocompatibility analysis are proceeded between ZK50 and ZK50-H. Finally, a mini-pig implantation test is proceeded to provide a reference of implant application for future pre-clinical evaluation. RESULTS The heat treatment can improve the mechanical properties. A passive ceramic layer formed after simulated body fluid (SBF) solution immersion can restrict the degradation effectively. The cytotoxicity test shows the initial biosafety of ZK50 Mg alloy. A mini-pig implantation test of bone screw has proceeded to confirm the advanced biocompatibility. The ZK50-H screws can maintain enough support at least 8 weeks which the fracture of bone can get curing. The excellent osteoinduction of ZK50-H has a positive effect to growth of new bones and help the mini-pig regain heal faster in 12 weeks. CONCLUSION This study shows ZK50-H Mg alloy screw is a feasible degradation implant and can be carried out the next-step clinical experiments.

Abstract
As a drug delivery system (DDS), traditional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) suffer from bioaccumulation in vivo and premature drug release in systemic circulation due to low degradation rate and lack of protective gatekeeper. Herein, we developed a safe and intelligent DDS with characteristics of pH-responsive biodegradation and controlled drug release based on mesoporous silica composite nanoparticles (MSCNs) capped with ZnO quantum dots (ZnO QDs). Acidic degradable MSCNs were successfully synthesized by doping Ca2+ and PO43− into the MSNs’ framework. The in vitro doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) release was inhibited at neutral pH 7.4 but triggered significantly at pH 5.0 due to the dissociation of ZnO caps. The internalization behavior and cytotoxicity of 4T1 cells indicated MSCNs-ZnO could efficiently deliver DOX into the cells with significant antitumor activity. Such a DDS with pH-responsive biodegradation and controlled drug release has promising potential for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (heart attack) is the number one killer of heart patients. Existing treatments for heart attack do not address the underlying problem of cardiomyocyte (CM) loss and cannot regenerate the myocardium. Introducing exogenous cardiac cells is required for heart regeneration due to the lack of resident progenitor cells and very limited proliferative potential of adult CMs. Poor retention of transplanted cells is the critical bottleneck of heart regeneration. Here, we report the invention of a poly(l-lactic acid)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) copolymer and its self-assembly into nanofibrous gelling microspheres (NF-GMS). The NF-GMS undergo thermally responsive transition to form not only a 3D hydrogel after injection in vivo, but also exhibit architectural and structural characteristics mimicking the native extracellular matrix (ECM) of nanofibrous proteins and gelling proteoglycans or polysaccharides. By integrating the ECM-mimicking features, injectable form, and the capability of maintaining 3D geometry after injection, the transplantation of hESC-derived CMs carried by NF-GMS led to a striking 10-fold graft size increase over direct CM injection in an infarcted rat model, which is the highest reported engraftment to date. Furthermore, NF-GMS carried CM transplantation dramatically reduced infarct size, enhanced integration of transplanted CMs, stimulated vascularization in the infarct zone, and led to a substantial recovery of cardiac function. The NF-GMS may also serve as advanced injectable and integrative biomaterials for cell/biomolecule delivery in a variety of biomedical applications.

Abstract
The exploration of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents possessing excellent performances and high biosafety is of great importance for both fundamental science research and biomedical applications. In this study, we present that monodisperse Fe2O3 supraparticles (SPs) can act as T1-weighted MRI agents, which not only possess a distinct off-on MRI switch in the tumor microenvironment but also are readily excreted from living bodies due to its quasi-amorphous structure and hierarchical topology design. First, the Fe2O3 SPs have a surface-to-volume ratio obviously smaller than that of their building blocks by means of self-assembly processes, which, on the one hand, causes a rather low r1 relaxivity (0.19 mM-1 s-1) and, on the other hand, can effectively prevent their aggregation after intravenous injection. Second, the Fe2O3 SPs have a dramatic disassembly/degradation-induced active T1-weighted signal readout (more than 6 times the r1 value enhancement and about 20 times the r2/r1 ratio decrease) in the tumor microenvironment, resulting in a high signal-to-noise ratio for imaging performances. Therefore, they possess excellent in vivo imaging capacity, even with a tumor size as small as 5 mm3. Third, the disassembled/decomposed behaviors of the Fe2O3 SPs facilitate their timely clearance/excretion from living bodies. In particular, they exhibit distinct renal clearance behavior without any kidney damage with the right dosage. Fourth, the favorable biodegradability of the as-prepared Fe2O3 SPs can further relieve the concerns about the unclear biological effects, particularly on nanomaterials, in general.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles as a versatile nanoplatform have been broadly applied in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers due to their inherent superior physicochemical properties (including magnetic, thermal, optical, and catalytic performance) and excellent functions (e.g., imaging, targeted delivery, and controlled release of drugs) through surface functional modification or ingredient dopant. However, in practical biological applications, inorganic nanomaterials are relatively difficult to degrade and excrete, which induces a long residence time in living organisms and thus may cause adverse effects, such as inflammation and tissue cysts. Therefore, the development of biodegradable inorganic nanomaterials is of great significance for their biomedical application. This Review will focus on the recent advances of degradable inorganic nanoparticles for cancer theranostics with highlight on the degradation mechanism, aiming to offer an in-depth understanding of degradation behavior and related biomedical applications. Finally, key challenges and guidelines will be discussed to explore biodegradable inorganic nanomaterials with minimized toxicity issues, facilitating their potential clinical translation in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

However, their self-absorption and agglomeration significantly decrease their photoluminescence when their solution is centrifuged to form a powder; this hinders their applications in the field of solid-state lighting. Currently, there is lack of efficient solutions to overcome the self-absorption issue for CsPbX3 QDs. Thus, herein, an effective strategy is proposed via the in situ growth of CsPbBr3 (CPB) QDs in a mesoporous silica (m-SiO2) matrix, where self-absorption originating from the agglomeration of the QD powder is distinctly suppressed in the m-SiO2 matrix. Furthermore, due to its higher transmissivity, some photons can transport along the channels of m-SiO2 with less light loss. As a result, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 68% for the CsPbBr3/m-SiO2 (CPB/MS) powder is distinctly higher than that of the discrete CPB powder (36%). In addition, the chemical stability, thermal quenching and luminous decay were evidently improved for the CPB/MS nanocomposite. Finally, a remote flexible light-emitting diode with ultrahigh stability and arbitrary bending angle was achieved, which presented a pathway for the application of CPB QDs in solid-state lighting.

Abstract
The degradation of bionanomaterials is essential for medical applications of nanoformulations, but most inorganic-based delivery agents do not biodegrade at controllable rates. In this contribution, we describe the controllable plasmonic photocracking of gold@silica nanoparticles by tuning the power and wavelength of the laser irradiation, or by tuning the size of the encapsulated gold cores. Particles were literally broken to pieces or dissolved from the inside out upon laser excitation of the plasmonic cores. The photothermal cracking of silica, probably analogous to thermal fracturing in glass, was then harnessed to release cargo molecules from gold@silica@polycaprolactone nanovectors. This unique and controllable plasmonic photodegradation has implications for nanomedicine, photopatterning, and sensing applications.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles with tunable and diverse properties hold tremendous potential in the field of nanomedicine, while having non-negligible toxicity concerns in healthy tissues/organs that have resulted in their restricted clinical translation to date. In the past decade, the emergence of biodegradable or clearable inorganic nanoparticles has made it possible to completely solve this long-standing conundrum. A comprehensive understanding of the design of these inorganic nanoparticles with their metabolic performance in the body is of crucial importance to advance clinical trials and expand their biological applications in disease diagnosis. Here, a diverse variety of biodegradable or clearable inorganic nanoparticles regarding considerations of the size, morphology, surface chemistry, and doping strategy are highlighted. Their pharmacokinetics, pathways of metabolism in the body, and time required for excretion are discussed. Some inorganic materials intrinsically responsive to various conditions in the tumor microenvironment are also introduced. Finally, an overview of the encountered challenges is provided along with an outlook for applying these inorganic nanoparticles toward future clinical translations.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively explored as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. With the increasing complexity in the structure of modern MNPs, the classical Solomon-Bloembergen-Morgan and the outer-sphere quantum mechanical theories established on simplistic models have encountered limitations for defining the emergent phenomena of relaxation enhancement in MRI. Recent progress in probing MRI relaxivity of MNPs based on structural features at the molecular and atomic scales is reviewed, namely, the structure-relaxivity relationships, including size, shape, crystal structure, surface modification, and assembled structure. A special emphasis is placed on bridging the gaps between classical simplistic models and modern MNPs with elegant structural complexity. In the pursuit of novel MRI contrast agents, it is hoped that this review will spur the critical thinking for design and engineering of novel MNPs for MRI applications across a broad spectrum of research fields.

Abstract
Despite great progress in photodynamic therapy (PDT), the therapeutic effect is still limited by some points, such as tumor hypoxia, the short lifetime and the limited action region of 1O2. Herein, a special kind of three-dimensional dendritic mesoporous silica nanosphere (3D-dendritic MSN) was synthesized and used as a robust nanocarrier to deliver abundant hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) to the A549 lung cancer cells. To address the tumor hypoxia issue, the nanozyme Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) were immobilized onto the channels of 3D-dendritic MSNs to catalyze the conversion of intracellular H2O2 to oxygen. Moreover, due to the in situ reduction process, the uniform Pt NPs distributed well on the surface of 3D-dendritic MSNs with high homogeneous dispersity. Additionally, a mitochondria-targeting ligand, triphenylphosphine (TPP), was conjugated to the Pt-decorated 3D-dendritic MSN composites to form a mitochondria targeted system for the PDT. In a combination of the peroxidase-like Pt NPs with mitochondria-targeting ability of TPP, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst in the mitochondria was achieved and resulted in the cell apoptosis. This well-designed system shows an enhanced PDT effect of killing A549 cells, and promotes a new H2O2-activatable strategy to overcome hypoxia for tumor PDT.

Abstract
Macrophage recruitment has emerged as the crucial force driving the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic lesions. Therefore, the identification of macrophages in plaques is of vital importance for identifying vulnerable plaques, and noninvasive imaging methods are particularly desirable. Some studies have reported that MRI can detect plaque macrophages through targeted nanoparticles, but it is still hard for an US to detect macrophages in atherosclerotic plaque. In this study, anti-CD68 receptor-targeted Fe-doped hollow silica nanoparticles (CD68-Fe-HSNs) were fabricated as a dual-modal US/MRI contrast agent for identifying macrophages of aorta ventralis atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE-/- mice, confirmed by immunofluorescence and bio-TEM. This system possesses biodegradable characteristics even though it is an inorganic mesoporous nanosystem, indicating its potential high biocompatibility for further in vivo research. We expect that these dual-modal US/MRI nanoparticles will play a role in assessing vulnerable plaque in future research studies.

Abstract
Silica-based nanomaterials are extensively used in industrial applications and academic biomedical research, thus properly assessing their toxicity and biodegradability is essential for their safe and effective formulation and use. Unfortunately, there is often a lot of confusion in the literature with respect to the toxicity and biodegradability of silica since various studies have yielded contradictory results. In this contribution, we first endeavor to underscore that the simplistic model of silica should be discarded in favor of a more realistic model recognizing that all silicas are not created equal and should thus be considered in the plural as silicas and silica hybrids, which indeed hold various biocompatibility and biodegradability profiles. We then demonstrated that all silicas are-as displayed in Nature-degradable in water by dissolution, as governed by the laws of kinetics. Lastly, we explore the vast potential of tuning the degradability of silica by materials design using various silica hybrids for redox-, pH-, enzymatic-, and biochelation-mediated lysis mechanisms.

Abstract
Inorganic nanocarriers have shown their high performance in disease theranostics in preclinical animal models and further great prospects for clinical translation. However, their dissatisfactory biodegradability and pre-drug leakage with nonspecificity to lesion sites significantly hinders the possible clinical translation. To solve these two critical issues, a framework-engineering strategy is introduced to simultaneously achieve enhanced biodegradability and controllable drug releasing, based on the mostly explored mesoporous silica-based nanosystems. The framework of mesoporous silica is engineered by direct Mg doping via a generic dissolution and regrowth approach, and it can transform into the easy biodegradation of magnesium silicate nanocarriers with simultaneous on-demand drug release. Such magnesium silicate nanocarriers can respond to the mild acidic environment of tumor tissue, causing the fast breaking up and biodegradation of the silica framework. More interesting, the released Mg2+ can further activate Mg2+ -dependent DNAzyme on the surface of hollow mesoporous magnesium silicate nanoparticles (HMMSNs) to cleave the RNA-based gatekeeper, which further accelerates the release of loaded anticancer drugs. Therefore, enhanced anticancer efficiency of chemotherapeutic drugs assisted by the biodegradable intelligent HMMSNs is achieved. The high biocompatibility of nanocarriers and biodegradation products is demonstrated and can be easily excreted via feces and urine guaranteeing their further clinical translation.

Abstract
Developing nanotheranostics responsive to tumor microenvironments has attracted tremendous attention for on-demand cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, a facile Mn-doping strategy was adopted to transform mesoporous silica coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) to yolk-like upconversion nanostructures which possess a tumor-responsive biodegradation nature. The huge internal space of the innovated nanocarriers is suitable for doxorubicin (DOX) storage, besides, the Mn-doped shell is sensitive to the intratumoral acidity and reducibility, which enables shell biodegradation and further accelerates the breakage of Si-O-Si bonds within the silica framework. This tumor-responsive shell degradation is beneficial for realizing tumor-specific DOX release. Subsequently, polyoxometalate (POM) nanoclusters that can enhance photothermal conversion in response to the tumor reducibility and acidity were modified on the surface of the silica shell, thereby achieving NIR-enhanced shell degradation and also preventing premature DOX leakage. The as-produced thermal effect of the POM couples with the chemotherapy effect of the released DOX to perform a synergetic chemo-photothermal therapy. Additionally, the shell degradation brings size shrinkage to the nanocarriers, allowing faster nanoparticle diffusion and deeper tumor penetration, which is significant for improving theranostic outcomes. Also, the drastic decline of the red/green (R/G) ratio caused by the DOX release can be used to monitor the DOX release content through a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method. The MRI effect caused by Mn release together with the MRI/CT/UCL imaging derived from Gd3+/Yb3+/Nd3+/Er3+ co-doped UCNPs under 808 nm laser excitation endow the nanosystem with multiple imaging capability, thus realizing imaging-guided cancer therapy.

Abstract
Predetermining the physico-chemical properties, biosafety, and stimuli-responsiveness of nanomaterials in biological environments is essential for safe and effective biomedical applications. At the forefront of biomedical research, mesoporous silica nanoparticles and mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles are increasingly investigated to predict their biological outcome by materials design. In this review, it is first chronicled that how the nanomaterial design of pure silica, partially hybridized organosilica, and fully hybridized organosilica (periodic mesoporous organosilicas) governs not only the physico-chemical properties but also the biosafety of the nanoparticles. The impact of the hybridization on the biocompatibility, protein corona, biodistribution, biodegradability, and clearance of the silica-based particles is described. Then, the influence of the surface engineering, the framework hybridization, as well as the morphology of the particles, on the ability to load and controllably deliver drugs under internal biological stimuli (e.g., pH, redox, enzymes) and external noninvasive stimuli (e.g., light, magnetic, ultrasound) are presented. To conclude, trends in the biomedical applications of silica and organosilica nanovectors are delineated, such as unconventional bioimaging techniques, large cargo delivery, combination therapy, gaseous molecule delivery, antimicrobial protection, and Alzheimer's disease therapy.

Abstract
Biodegradability is one of the most critical issues for silica-based nanodrug delivery systems because they are crucial prerequisites for the successful translation in clinics. In this work, a novel mesoporous silica-calcium phosphate (MS-CAP) hybrid nanocarrier with a fast pH-responsive biodegradation rate was developed by a one-step method, where CAP precursors (Ca2+ and PO43-) were incorporated into silica matrix during the growth process. The morphology and structure of MS-CAP were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the drug loading and the release behavior of MS-CAP have been tested. TEM and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry results indicated that the pH-responsive biodegradation of MS-CAP was so fast that could be almost finished within 24 h owing to the easy dissolution of CAP embedded in the particle and the escape of Ca2+ from the structure of Si-O-Ca in acid environment. The MS-CAP exhibited a high doxorubicin (DOX) entrapment efficiency (EE) of 97.79%, which was about fourfold higher compared with that of pure mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and our density functional theory calculational results suggested that the higher drug EE of MS-CAP would originate from the strong interaction between calcium in the particle and carboxylate group of DOX. The loaded DOX was effectively released, with a cumulative release as high as 98.06% within 48 h at pH 4.5 in buffer solution, owing to the rapid degradation of MS-CAP. The obtained results indicated that the as-synthesized MS-CAP could act as a promising drug delivery system and would have a hopeful prospect in the clinical translation.

Abstract
Biodegradation behavior of inorganic silica-based nanoplatforms is of critical importance in their clinical translations, but still remains a great challenge in achieving this goal by composition regulation of biocompatible silica framework. In the present work, a chemical coordination-accelerated biodegradation strategy to endow hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) with unique coordination-responsive biodegradability, on-demand coordination-responsive drug releasing behavior, and significantly enhanced chemotherapeutic efficacy by directly doping iron (Fe) ions into the framework of mesoporous silica is reported. A simple but versatile dissolution-regrowth strategy has been developed to enable the framework Fe doping via chemical bonding. The deferiprone-mediated biodegradation of Fe-doped HMSNs (Fe-HMSNs) has been comprehensively evaluated both in simulated body fluid and intracellular level, which have exhibited a specific coordination-accelerated biodegradation behavior. In addition to high biocompatibility of Fe-HMSNs, the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded Fe-HMSNs show enhanced tumor-suppressing effect on 4T1 mammary cancer xenograft. This work paves a new way for tuning the biodegradation performance of mesoporous silica-based nanoplatforms simply by biocompatible Fe-ion doping into silica framework based on the specific coordination property between introduced metal Fe ions with Fe-coordination proteins.

Abstract
Theranostics based on nanoparticles (NPs) is a promising paradigm in nanomedicine. Mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-based systems offer unique characteristics to enable multimodal imaging or simultaneous diagnosis and therapy. They include large surface area and volume, tunable pore size, functionalizable surface, and acceptable biological safety. Hybridization with other NPs and chemical modification can further potentiate the multifunctionality of MSN-based systems toward translation. Here, we update the recent progress on MSN-based systems for theranostic purposes. We discuss various synthetic approaches used to construct the theranostic platforms either via intrinsic chemistry or extrinsic combination. These include defect generation in the silica structure, encapsulation of diagnostic NPs within silica, their assembly on the silica surface, and direct conjugation of dye chemicals. Collectively, in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that multimodal imaging capacities can be integrated with the therapeutic functions of these MSN systems for therapy. With further improvement in bioimaging sensitivity and targeting specificity, the multifunctional MSN-based theranostic systems will find many clinical applications in the near future.

Abstract
The biorelated degradability and clearance of siliceous nanomaterials have been questioned worldwide, since they are crucial prerequisites for the successful translation in clinics. Typically, the degradability and biocompatibility of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been an ongoing discussion in research circles. The reason for such a concern is that approved pharmaceutical products must not accumulate in the human body, to prevent severe and unpredictable side-effects. Here, the biorelated degradability and clearance of silicon and silica nanoparticles (NPs) are comprehensively summarized. The influence of the size, morphology, surface area, pore size, and surface functional groups, to name a few, on the degradability of silicon and silica NPs is described. The noncovalent organic doping of silica and the covalent incorporation of either hydrolytically stable or redox- and enzymatically cleavable silsesquioxanes is then described for organosilica, bridged silsesquioxane (BS), and periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) NPs. Inorganically doped silica particles such as calcium-, iron-, manganese-, and zirconium-doped NPs, also have radically different hydrolytic stabilities. To conclude, the degradability and clearance timelines of various siliceous nanomaterials are compared and it is highlighted that researchers can select a specific nanomaterial in this large family according to the targeted applications and the required clearance kinetics.

Abstract
The delivery of large cargos of diameter above 15nm for biomedical applications has proved challenging since it requires biocompatible, stably-loaded, and biodegradable nanomaterials. In this study, we describe the design of biodegradable silica-iron oxide hybrid nanovectors with large mesopores for large protein delivery in cancer cells. The mesopores of the nanomaterials spanned from 20 to 60nm in diameter and post-functionalization allowed the electrostatic immobilization of large proteins (e.g. mTFP-Ferritin, ~534kDa). Half of the content of the nanovectors was based with iron oxide nanophases which allowed the rapid biodegradation of the carrier in fetal bovine serum and a magnetic responsiveness. The nanovectors released large protein cargos in aqueous solution under acidic pH or magnetic stimuli. The delivery of large proteins was then autonomously achieved in cancer cells via the silica-iron oxide nanovectors, which is thus a promising for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biodegradability of inorganic nanoparticles is one of the most critical issues in their further clinical translations. In this work, a novel "metal ion-doping" approach has been developed to endow inorganic mesoporous silica-based nanoparticles with tumor-sensitive biodegradation and theranostic functions, simply by topological transformation of mesoporous silica to metal-doped composite nanoformulations. "Manganese extraction" sensitive to tumor microenvironment was enabled in manganese-doped hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (designated as Mn-HMSNs) to fast promote the disintegration and biodegradation of Mn-HMSNs, further accelerating the breakage of Si-O-Si bonds within the framework. The fast biodegradation of Mn-HMSNs sensitive to mild acidic and reducing microenvironment of tumor resulted in much accelerated anticancer drug releasing and enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of tumor. A high tumor-inhibition effect was simultaneously achieved by anticancer drug delivery mediated by PEGylated Mn-HMSNs, and the high biocompatibility of composite nanosystems was systematically demonstrated in vivo. This is the first demonstration of biodegradable inorganic mesoporous nanosystems with specific biodegradation behavior sensitive to tumor microenvironment, which also provides a feasible approach to realize the on-demand biodegradation of inorganic nanomaterials simply by "metal ion-doping" strategy, paving the way to solve the critical low-biodegradation issue of inorganic drug carriers.
