Abstract
Breast adenocarcinoma ranks high among the foremost lethal cancers affecting women globally, with its triple-negative subtype posing the greatest challenge due to its aggressiveness and resistance to treatment. To enhance survivorship and patients' quality of life, exploring advanced therapeutic approaches beyond conventional chemotherapies is imperative. To address this, innovative nanoscale drug delivery systems have been developed, offering precise, localized, and stimuli-triggered release of anticancer agents. Here, we present perylenemonoimide nanoparticle-based vehicles engineered for deep-red light activation, enabling direct chlorambucil release. Synthesized via the reprecipitation technique, these nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized. Light-induced drug release was monitored via spectroscopic and reverse-phase HPLC. The efficacy of the said drug delivery system was evaluated in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional spheroidal cancer models, demonstrating significant tumor regression attributed to apoptotic cell death induced by efficient drug release within cells and spheroids. This approach holds promise for advancing targeted breast cancer therapy, enhancing treatment efficacy and minimizing adverse effects.

Evolving approaches in glioma treatment: harnessing the potential of copper metabolism modulation. RSC Adv 2023; 13:34045-34056.

Abstract
The key properties and high versatility of metal nanoparticles have shed new perspectives on cancer therapy, with copper nanoparticles gaining great interest because of the ability to couple the intrinsic properties of metal nanoparticles with the biological activities of copper ions in cancer cells. Copper, indeed, is a cofactor involved in different metabolic pathways of many physiological and pathological processes. Literature data report on the use of copper in preclinical protocols for cancer treatment based on chemo-, photothermal-, or copper chelating-therapies. Copper nanoparticles exhibit anticancer activity via multiple routes, mainly involving the targeting of mitochondria, the modulation of oxidative stress, the induction of apoptosis and autophagy, and the modulation of immune response. Moreover, compared to other metal nanoparticles (e.g. gold, silver, palladium, and platinum), copper nanoparticles are rapidly cleared from organs with low systemic toxicity and benefit from the copper's low cost and wide availability. Within this review, we aim to explore the impact of copper in cancer research, focusing on glioma, the most common primary brain tumour. Glioma accounts for about 80% of all malignant brain tumours and shows a poor prognosis with the five-year survival rate being less than 5%. After introducing the glioma pathogenesis and the limitation of current therapeutic strategies, we will discuss the potential impact of copper therapy and present the key results of the most relevant literature to establish a reliable foundation for future development of copper-based approaches.

Photothermal nanozymes to self-augment combination cancer therapy by dual-glutathione depletion and hyperthermia/acidity-activated hydroxyl radical generation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 650:1698-1714.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a promising strategy for tumor treatment. Nevertheless, the low Fenton catalytic efficiency and the high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells largely decline antitumor efficacy of CDT. To self-augment antitumor effect of the CDT by combining with photothermal therapy (PTT), the unique photothermal nanozymes that doubly depleted GSH, and generated massive hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the hyperthermia/acidity-activated manner were developed. Through the coordination of Fe3+ ions with PEGylated chitosan (PEG-CS)-modified polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles, the attained Fe3+@PEG-CS/PDA nanozymes showed outstanding colloidal stability, photothermal conversion efficiency and acidity-triggered Fe3+ release. By GSH-mediated valence states transition of Fe3+ ions and Michael reaction between GSH and quinone-rich PDA, the nanozymes sufficiently executed dual depletion of GSH with the elevated temperature.Under mimic tumor acidity and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation condition, the endocytosed nanozymes effectively converted intracellular H2O2 into toxic ·OH upon amplified Fenton reaction, thereby potently killing 4T1 cancer cells and RAW 264.7 cells. Importantly, the nanozymes prominently suppressed 4T1 tumor growth in vivo and metastasis of cancer cells by CDT/PTT combination therapy without significant systemic toxicity. Our study provides novel visions in design of therapeutic nanozymes with great clinical translational prospect for tumor treatment.

Abstract
The controlled growth of Cu2S nanoarrays was constructed by a facile two-step impregnation synthesis route. The as-synthesized Cu2S/CuO@Cu samples were precisely characterized in terms of surface morphology, phase, composition, and oxidation states. At the laser irradiation of 808 nm, Cu2S/CuO@Cu heated up to 106 °C from room temperature in 120 s, resulting in an excellent photothermal conversion performance. The Cu2S/CuO@Cu exhibited excellent cycling performance-sustaining the photothermal performance during five heating-cooling cycles. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation of optical absorption and electric field distributions assured the accuracy and reliability of the developed experimental conditions for acquiring the best photothermal performance of Cu2S/CuO@Cu.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoplatforms with the synergistic effects of multiple therapeutic modalities have become a research focus due to their superior anti-tumor properties over single therapeutic modalities. Herein, we developed around 14 nm porous hollow copper iron oxide nanoparticles (PHCuFeNPs) with pore sizes of around 2-3 nm as a cisplatin carrier and photothermal therapeutic agent. The PHCuFeNPs were synthesized via a galvanic reaction between Cu2S nanoparticles and iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) followed by etching in the organic phase to make the pores. They were stable under normal physiological conditions, but the pores were etched in a weak acidic tumor microenvironment, resulting in the controlled release of Cu and Fe ions for enhanced chemodynamic therapy and accelerated cisplatin release for chemotherapy. Under 980 nm laser irradiation, the PHCuFeNPs could effectively heat up to further promote the release process for synergistic therapy. Besides, they were proved to mediate immunogenic cell death to activate the immune system for potential immunotherapy. Together with their ability to degrade into fragments for fast renal metabolism, we believe that these PHCuFeNPs could provide a biocompatible and efficient multi-antitumor therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Phototheranostic based on photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), as one of avant-garde medical techniques, have sparked growing attention because it allows noninvasive, deeply penetrative, and highly selective and effective therapy. Among a variety of phototheranostic nanoagents, single-component inorganic nanostructures are found to be novel and attractive PAI and PTT combined nanotheranostic agents and received tremendous attention, which not only exhibit structural controllability, high tunability in physiochemical properties, size-dependent optical properties, high reproducibility, simple composition, easy functionalization, and simple synthesis process, but also can be endowed with multiple therapeutic and imaging functions, realizing the superior therapy result along with bringing less foreign materials into body, reducing systemic side effects and improving the bioavailability. In this review, according to their synthetic components, conventional single-component inorganic nanostructures are divided into metallic nanostructures, metal dichalcogenides, metal oxides, carbon based nanostructures, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes, graphdiyne and other nanostructures. On the basis of this category, their detailed applications in PAI guide PTT of tumor treatment are systematically reviewed, including synthesis strategies, corresponding performances, and cancer diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. Before these, the factors to influence on photothermal effect and the principle of in vivo PAI are briefly presented. Finally, we also comprehensively and thoroughly discussed the limitation, potential barriers, future perspectives for research and clinical translation of this single-component inorganic nanoagent in biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
The cancer treatment by laser-conjugated nanomaterial has become a new developing trend due of their unique physicochemical performance. The previous few studies reported the preparation of undoped CuS nanoprisms. The current research was concerned with the Mn doping effect on the CuS nanoprisms and its activity in tumor toxicity of M.D. Anderson-Metastatic Breast 231 (MDA-MB-231) cell line with laser treatment. To prepare a novel CuS and Mn-doped CuS nanoprisms with high surface area by two-phase colloidal method, copper nitrate and sulfur powder were used as sources of copper and sulfur respectively. The prepared nanoprisms were investigated as antibacterial and photothermal agents in MDA-MB-231 cancer treatment using near-infrared (NIR) laser. The Mn-CuS nanoprisms were modified with glutathione (GSH) to decrease the cytotoxicity and increase the biocompatibility. The characterization of synthesized nanoprisms involved the structural, compositional, surface charges, optical, and morphological property analyses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed the peaks of hexagonal covellite copper sulfide nanoparticles and additional diffraction peaks at Mn-CuS which are assigned to orthorhombic chalcocite CuS. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the CuS and Mn-CuS nanoparticles have nanoprism morphology. The antibacterial activity test revealed that the activity enhances by doping and the prepared Mn-CuS nanostructures were more effective against the Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The results of photothermal treatment indicated that the cancer cells were effectively killed and the GSH@Mn-CuS nanoprisms are able to be used as an efficient theranostic agent for tumor photothermal therapy in the future.

Abstract
How soft corona, the protein corona’s outer layer, contributes to biological identity of nanomaterials is largely because capturing protein composition of the soft corona in situ remains challenging. We herein develop an in situ Fishing method that can monitor the dynamic formation of protein corona on ultra-small chiral Cu2S nanoparticles (NPs) allowing us to directly separate and identify the corona protein composition. Our method detects spatiotemporal processes in the evolution of hard and soft coronas on chiral NPs, revealing subtle differences in NP − protein interactions even within several minutes. This study highlights the importance of in situ and dynamic analysis of soft/hard corona, provides insights into the role of soft corona in mediating biological responses of NPs, and offers a universal strategy to characterize soft corona to guide the rational design of biomedical nanomaterials. Characterizing the soft protein corona on nanoparticles i.e. the outer layer of the corona, remains a longstanding challenge. Here, the authors develop an in situ method to monitor the dynamic processes of multilayered corona formation and evolution that offers a universal strategy to characterize the soft corona proteome.

Abstract
Functionalized nanomaterials of various categories are essential for developing cancer nano-theranostics for brain diseases; however, some limitations exist in their effectiveness and clinical translation, such as toxicity, limited tumor penetration, and inability to cross blood-brain and blood-tumor barriers. Metal nanomaterials with functional fluorescent tags possess unique properties in improving their functional properties, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), superparamagnetism, and photo/bioluminescence, which facilitates imaging applications in addition to their deliveries. Moreover, these multifunctional nanomaterials could be synthesized through various chemical modifications on their physical surfaces via attaching targeting peptides, fluorophores, and quantum dots (QD), which could improve the application of these nanomaterials by facilitating theranostic modalities. In addition to their inherent CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), PAI (Photo-acoustic imaging), and X-ray contrast imaging, various multifunctional nanoparticles with imaging probes serve as brain-targeted imaging candidates in several imaging modalities. The primary criteria of these functional nanomaterials for translational application to the brain must be zero toxicity. Moreover, the beneficial aspects of nano-theranostics of nanoparticles are their multifunctional systems proportioned towards personalized disease management via comprising diagnostic and therapeutic abilities in a single biodegradable nanomaterial. This review highlights the emerging aspects of engineered nanomaterials to reach and deliver therapeutics to the brain and how to improve this by adopting the imaging modalities for theranostic applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a minimally invasive procedure for treating cancer. The two significant prerequisites of PTT are the photothermal therapeutic agent (PTA) and near-infrared radiation (NIR). The PTA absorbs NIR, causing hyperthermia in the malignant cells. This increased temperature at the tumor microenvironment finally results in tumor cell damage. Nanoparticles play a crucial role in PTT, aiding in the passive and active targeting of the PTA to the tumor microenvironment. Through enhanced permeation and retention effect and surface-engineering, specific targeting could be achieved. This novel delivery tool provides the advantages of changing the shape, size, and surface attributes of the carriers containing PTAs, which might facilitate tumor regression significantly. Further, inclusion of surface engineering of nanoparticles is facilitated through ligating ligands specific to overexpressed receptors on the cancer cell surface. Thus, transforming nanoparticles grants the ability to combine different treatment strategies with PTT to enhance cancer treatment. This review emphasizes properties of PTAs, conjugated biomolecules of PTAs, and the combinatorial techniques for a better therapeutic effect of PTT using the nanoparticle platform.

Abstract
The combination of nanotechnology and chemotherapy has resulted in more effective drug design via the development of nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) for tumor targeting. Stimulus-responsive DDSs in response to internal or external signals can offer precisely controlled delivery of preloaded therapeutics. Among the various DDSs, the photo-triggered system improves the efficacy and safety of treatment through spatiotemporal manipulation of light. Additionally, pH-induced delivery is one of the most widely studied strategies for targeting the acidic micro-environment of solid tumors. Accordingly, in this review, we discuss representative strategies for designing DDSs using light as an exogenous signal or pH as an endogenous trigger.

Abstract
Nanomedicines afford unique advantages in therapeutic intervention against tumors. However, conventional nanomedicines have failed to achieve the desired effect against cancers because of the presence of complicated physiological fluids and the tumor microenvironment. Stimuli-responsive drug-delivery systems have emerged as potential tools for advanced treatment of cancers. Versatile nano-carriers co-triggered by multiple stimuli in different levels of organisms (eg, extracorporeal, tumor tissue, cell, subcellular organelles) have aroused widespread interest because they can overcome sequential physiological and pathological barriers to deliver diverse therapeutic “payloads” to the desired targets. Furthermore, multiple stimuli-responsive drug-delivery systems (MSR-DDSs) offer a good platform for co-delivery of agents and reversing multidrug resistance. This review affords a comprehensive overview on the “landscape” of MSR-DDSs against tumors, highlights the design strategies of MSR-DDSs in recent years, discusses the putative advantage of oncotherapy or the obstacles that so far have hindered the clinical translation of MSR-DDSs.

Abstract
Fabricating lanthanide doped up-conversion luminescence based nanocomposites has drawn increasing attention in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Although challenging in precise synthesis, structure manipulation and interfacial engineering, fabricating dendritic mesoporous silica coated up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNP@dMSNs) with a tunable pore size is of great importance for the functionalization and application of UCNPs. Herein, we report a strategy to prepare uniform monodisperse UCNP@dMSNs with a core-shell structure. The silica shell has tunable center-radial and dendritic mesoporous channels. The synthesis was carried out in the heterogeneous oil-water microemulsion phase of the Winsor III system reaction system, which allows silica to be deposited directly on hydrophobic UCNPs through the self-anchoring of micelle complexes on the oleic acid ligand. The average pore size of UCNP@dMSNs could be tailored from ∼10 to ∼35 nm according to the varied amounts of co-solvent in the mixture. The microemulsion approach could also be used to prepare hierarchical UCNP@dMSNs with a multi-generational mesostructure. The resultant UCNP@dMSNs exhibit the unique advantage of loading "guest" nanoparticles in a self-absorption manner. We proved that Cu1.8S NPs (∼10 nm), Au NPs (∼10 nm) and Fe3O4 NPs (∼25 nm) could be incorporated in UCNP@dMSNs, which in turn validates the high adsorption capacity of UCNP@dMSNs.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy for cancer treatment is usually compromised by shortcomings such as insufficient therapeutic outcome and undesired side effects. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of combination therapy by integrating chemotherapy with hyperthermia for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated photothermal therapy, which has advantages such as great capacity of heat ablation and minimally invasive manner, has emerged as a powerful approach for cancer treatment. A variety of nanomaterials absorbing NIR light to generate heat have been developed to simultaneously act as carriers for chemotherapeutic drugs, contributing as heat trigger for drug release and/or inducing hyperthermia for synergistic effects. This review aims to summarize the recent development of advanced nanomaterials in chemo-photothermal combination therapy, including metal-, carbon-based nanomaterials and particularly organic nanomaterials. The potential challenges and perspectives for the future development of nanomaterials-based chemo-photothermal therapy were also discussed.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Efficient targeted therapy with minimal side-effects is the need of the hour. Locally altered redox state is observed in several human ailments, such as inflammation, sepsis, and cancer. This has been taken advantage of in designing redox-responsive nanodrug carriers. Redox-responsive nanosystems open a door to a multitude of possibilities for the control of diseases over other drug delivery systems. Recent Advances: The first-generation nanotherapy relies on novel properties of nanomaterials to shield the drug and deliver it to the diseased tissue or organ. The second generation is based on targeting the drug or diagnostic material to the diseased cell-specific receptors, or to a particular organ to improve the efficacy of the drug. The third and the latest generation of nanocarriers, the stimuli-responsive nanocarriers exploit the disease condition or environment to specifically deliver the drug or diagnostic probe for the best diagnosis and treatment. Several different kinds of stimuli such as temperature, magnetic field, pH, and altered redox state-responsive nanosystems have educed immense promise in the field of nanomedicine and therapy. CRITICAL ISSUES We describe the evolution of nanomaterial since its inception with an emphasis on stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, especially redox-sensitive nanocarriers. Importantly, we discuss the future perspectives of redox-responsive nanocarriers and their implications. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Redox-responsive nanocarriers achieve a near-to-zero premature release of the drug, thus avoiding off-site toxicity associated with the free drug. This bears great potential for the development of more effective drug delivery with better pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Abstract
Cancer is a highly intelligent system of cells, that works together with the body to thrive and subsequently overwhelm the host in order for its survival. Therefore, treatment regimens should be equally competent to outsmart these cells. Unfortunately, it is not the case with current therapeutic practices, the reason why it is still one of the most deadly adversaries and an imposing challenge to healthcare practitioners and researchers alike. With rapid nanotechnological interventions in the medical arena, the amalgamation of diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities into a single platform, theranostics provides a never before experienced hope of enhancing diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficiency. Additionally, the ability of these nanotheranostic agents to perform their actions on-demand, i.e. can be controlled by external stimulus such as light, magnetic field, sound waves and radiation has cemented their position as next generation anti-cancer candidates. Numerous reports exist of such stimuli-responsive theranostic nanomaterials against cancer, but few have broken through to clinical trials, let alone clinical practice. This review sheds light on the pros and cons of a few such theranostic nanomaterials, especially inorganic nanomaterials which do not require any additional chemical moieties to initiate the stimulus. The review will primarily focus on preclinical and clinical trial approved theranostic agents alone, describing their success or failure in the respective stages.

Engineering Charge Transfer Characteristics in Hierarchical Cu₂S QDs @ ZnO Nanoneedles with p⁻n Heterojunctions: Towards Highly Efficient and Recyclable Photocatalysts. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2018; 9:E16. [PMID: 30583591 PMCID: PMC6359091 DOI: 10.3390/nano9010016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2018] [Revised: 12/18/2018] [Accepted: 12/19/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Equipped with staggered gap p-n heterojunctions, a new paradigm of photocatalysts based on hierarchically structured nano-match-shaped heterojunctions (NMSHs) Cu₂S quantum dots (QDs)@ZnO nanoneedles (NNs) are successfully developed via engineering the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). Under UV and visible light illumination, the photocatalytic characteristics of Cu₂S@ZnO heterojunctions with different loading amounts of Cu₂S QDs are evaluated by the corresponding photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) aqueous solution. The results elaborate that the optimized samples (S3 serial specimens with six cycles of SILAR reaction) by means of tailored the band diagram exhibit appreciable improvement of photocatalytic activities among all synthesized samples, attributing to the sensitization of a proper amount of Cu₂S QDs. Such developed architecture not only could form p⁻n junctions with ZnO nanoneedles to facilitate the separation of photo-generated carries but also interact with the surface defects of ZnO NNs to reduce the electron and hole recombination probability. Moreover, the existence of Cu₂S QDs could also extend the light absorption to improve the utilization rate of sunlight. Importantly, under UV light S3 samples demonstrate the remarkably enhanced RhB degradation efficiency, which is clearly testified upon the charge transfer mechanism discussions and evaluations in the present work. Further supplementary investigations illustrate that the developed nanoscale Cu₂S@ZnO heterostructures also possess an excellent photo-stability during our extensive recycling photocatalytic experiments, promising for a wide range of highly efficient and sustainably recyclable photocatalysts applications.

Theranostics 2018; 8:5231-5245. [PMID: 30555543 PMCID: PMC6276086 DOI: 10.7150/thno.25286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2018] [Accepted: 08/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Materials with efficient potential in imaging as well as therapy are gaining particular attention in current medical research. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been recently recognized as a promising treatment option for solid tumors. Still, most of the nanomaterial-based PDT modules either employ an additional photosensitizer or require high power laser sources. Also, they suffer from a lack of responsiveness in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Nanomaterials that could realize PDT independently (without any photosensitizer), at safe laser dose and in the deep tissue penetrative NIR region would definitely be better solid tumor treatment options. Methods: Herein, Cu- and Bi-based bimetal chalcogenide (Cu3BiS3), with absorption in the NIR region was developed. High-performance PDT of cancer and high-contrast x-ray imaging of tumor were performed in vivo. Biocompatibility of the NCs was also assessed in vivo. Results: The highlight of the results was the realization of ultra-low dose NIR laser-mediated PDT, which has not been achieved before, leading to complete tumor regression. This could be a breakthrough in providing a pain- and scar-less treatment option, especially for solid tumors and malignant/benign subcutaneous masses. Though the NCs are active in the photo-thermal therapy (PTT) regime as well, focus is given to the exciting aspect of extremely low power-induced PDT observed here. Conclusion: Their extended in vivo biodistribution with commendable hemo- and histo-compatibilities, along with imaging and multi-therapeutic capabilities, project these Cu3BiS3 NCs as promising, prospective theranostic candidates.

Abstract
We reported a novel bimetallic cerium/copper-based metal organic framework (Ce/Cu-MOF) and its derivatives pyrolyzed at different temperatures, followed by exploiting them as the scaffold of electrochemical aptamer sensors for extremely sensitive detection of trace tobramycin (TOB) in human serum and milk. After the calcination at high temperature, the meal coordination centers (Ce and Cu) were transferred to metal oxides containing various chemical valences, such as Ce(III), Ce(IV), Cu(II) and Cu(0), which were embedded within the mesoporous carbon network originated from the organic ligands (represented by CeO2/CuOx@mC). Owning to the strong synergistic effect among the metal oxides, mesoporous carbon, and small cavities and open channels of MOF, the as-prepared CeO2/CuOx@mC nanocomposites not only possess good electrochemical activity but also exhibit strong bioaffinity toward the aptamer strands. By comparing the electrochemical biosensing peroformances using on the Ce/Cu-MOF- and the series of CeO2/CuOx@mC-based aptasensors, the constructed CeO2/CuOx@mC900-based (calcinated at 900 °C) aptasensor exhibits an extremely low detection limit of 2.0 fg mL-1 within a broad linear TOB concentration range from 0.01 pg mL-1 to 10 ng mg L-1. It demonstrates that the proposed aptasensor is substantially superior to those previously reported in the literature, along with high selectivity, good stability and reproducibility, and acceptable applicability in human serum and milk. Thereby, the newly fabricated aptasensing approach based on bimetallic CeO2/CuOx@mC has a considerable potential for the quantitative detection of antibiotics in the food safety and biomedical field.

Abstract
To surmount the challenges of limited drug penetration and therapeutic resistance in solid tumors, stimuli-responsive nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) with relatively small sizes are inherently favorable for combined treatment of cancerous cells. In this work, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) functionalized Co0.85Se nanoparticles (PAA-Co0.85Se NPs) were synthesized through an ambient aqueous precipitating approach for synergistic photothermal-chemo treatment of cancer. The obtained PAA-Co0.85Se NPs possess ultrasmall size (8.2 ± 2.6 nm), considerable near-infrared (NIR) light absorption, high photothermal transforming efficiency (45.2%) and low cytotoxicity, all of which are beneficial for localized photothermal ablation of cancer cells. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) was then successfully loaded on PAA-Co0.85Se NPs with a loading capacity up to 8.3% to form PAA-Co0.85Se-DOX composites, which exhibited an exciting acidic pH-responsive drug release property due to the protonation of amino groups in DOX and carboxyl groups in PAA molecules. As expected, when HeLa cells were treated with PAA-Co0.85Se-DOX NPs as well as NIR laser irradiation, a significant synergistic cell-killing effect was observed, greatly improving the treatment efficiency. Thus, this work presents novel insight into the design of ultrasmall stimuli-responsive nanocarrier-based DDSs for synergistic photothermal-chemo treatment of cancer cells.

Abstract
Explosive growth of nanomedicines continues to significantly impact the therapeutic strategies for effective cancer treatment. Despite the significant progress in the development of advanced nanomedicines, successful clinical translation remains challenging. As cancer nanomedicine is a multidisciplinary field, the fundamental problem is that the knowledge gaps stem from different vantage points in the understanding of cancer nanomedicines. The complexities and heterogenecity of both nanomedicines and cancer are further demanding the integration of highly diverse expertise to develop clinically translatable cancer nanomedicines. This progress report aims to discuss the current understanding of cancer nanomedicines between different research areas in terms of nanoparticle engineering, formulation, tumor patho-physiology and clinical medicine, as well as to identify the knowledge gaps lying at the interface between the different fields of research in nanomedicine. Here we also highlight for the necessity to harmonize the multidisciplinary effort in the research of nanomedicines in order to bridge the knowledge and to advance the full understanding in cancer nanomedicines. A paradigm shift is needed in the strategic development of disease specific nanomedicines in order to foster the successful translation into clinic of future cancer nanomedicines.

Abstract
Surgical excision of skin cancers can hardly remove the tumor tissues completely and simultaneously result in cutaneous defects. To avoid tumor recurrence and heal the tumor-induced wounds, we designed a tissue engineering membrane possessing bifunctions of tumor therapy and skin tissue regeneration. The micropatterned nanocomposite membrane was successfully fabricated by incorporating Cu2S nanoflowers into biopolymer fibers via a modified electrospinning method. With uniformly embedded Cu2S nanoparticles, the membranes exhibited excellent and controllable photothermal performance under near-infrared irradiation, which resulted in high mortality (>90%) of skin tumor cells and effectively inhibited tumor growth in mice. Moreover, the membranes supported the adhesion, proliferation, and migration of skin cells as well as significantly stimulated angiogenesis and healed full-thickness skin defects in vivo. This proof-of-concept study offers a facile and reliable strategy for localized skin tumor therapy and tissue regeneration using bifunctional tissue engineering biomaterials, showing great promise for tumor-induced wound healing applications.

Abstract
A multifunctional cancer therapy nanocomposite was proposed and synthesized by linking the pH-responsive SH-PEG-DOX prodrug onto gold nanocrystals that were grown in situ on the surface of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). In the structure of the SH-PEG-DOX prodrug, a hydrazone bond was utilized for subsequent pH-responsive drug release in the intracellular acidic microenvironment of cancer cells. This innovative assembly method is facile and mild, and can be used to obtain nanocomposites of UCNPs and gold, which show excellent photostability and biocompatibility. The final UCNPs@Au-DOX nanocomposites offer efficient treatment effects in vitro under irradiation with an 808 nm laser due to the synergistic effect of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. In addition, the UCNPs@Au-DOX nanocomposites show excellent intracellular locating ability via upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging with Er3+ ions and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Gd3+ ions, indicating that they have potential as a visual tracking agent in cancer treatment. Therefore, the presented bioimaging-guided multifunctional synergistic therapy nanocomposites are promising tools for imaging-guided cancer therapy.

Abstract
As a significant metal chalcogenide, copper sulfide (Cu2-xS, 0 < x < 1), with a unique semiconducting and nontoxic nature, has received significant attention over the past few decades. Extensive investigations have been employed to the various Cu2-xS micro-/nanostructures owing to their excellent optoelectronic behavior, potential thermoelectric properties, and promising biomedical applications. As a result, micro-/nanostructured Cu2-xS with well-controlled morphologies, sizes, crystalline phases, and compositions have been rationally synthesized and applied in the fields of photocatalysis, energy conversion, in vitro biosensing, and in vivo imaging and therapy. However, a comprehensive review on diversified Cu2-xS micro-/nanostructures is still lacking; therefore, there is an imperative need to thoroughly highlight the new advances made in function-directed Cu2-xS-based nanocomposites. In this review, we have summarized the important progress made in the diversified Cu2-xS micro-/nanostructures, including that in the synthetic strategies for the preparation of 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D micro-/nanostructures (including polyhedral, hierarchical, hollow architectures, and superlattices) and in the development of modified Cu2-xS-based composites for enhanced performance, as well as their various applications. Furthermore, the present issues and promising research directions are briefly discussed.

Abstract
This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due to their compositional and structural versatility. The outstanding functional properties of these materials stems from the relationship between their band structure and defect concentration, including charge carrier concentration and electronic conductivity character, which consequently affects their optoelectronic, optical, and plasmonic properties. This, combined with several metastable crystal phases and stoichiometries and the low energy of formation of defects, makes the reproducible synthesis of these materials, with tunable parameters, remarkable. Further to this, the review captures the progress of the hierarchical assembly of these NCs, which bridges the link between their discrete and collective properties. Their ubiquitous application set has cross-cut energy conversion (photovoltaics, photocatalysis, thermoelectrics), energy storage (lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen generation), emissive materials (plasmonics, LEDs, biolabelling), sensors (electrochemical, biochemical), biomedical devices (magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computer tomography), and medical therapies (photochemothermal therapies, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and drug delivery). The confluence of advances in the synthesis, assembly, and application of these NCs in the past decade has the potential to significantly impact society, both economically and environmentally.

Abstract
Multimodal nanoprobes have attracted intensive attentions since they can integrate various imaging modalities to obtain complementary merits of single modality. Meanwhile, recent interest in laser-induced photoacoustic imaging is rapidly growing due to its unique advantages in visualizing tissue structure and function with high spatial resolution and satisfactory imaging depth. In this review, we summarize multimodal nanoprobes involving photoacoustic imaging. In particular, we focus on the method to construct multimodal nanoprobes. We have divided the synthetic methods into two types. First, we call it “one for all” concept, which involves intrinsic properties of the element in a single particle. Second, “all in one” concept, which means integrating different functional blocks in one particle. Then, we simply introduce the applications of the multifunctional nanoprobes for in vivo imaging and imaging-guided tumor therapy. At last, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the present methods to construct the multimodal nanoprobes and share our viewpoints in this area.

Abstract
Hypermethylated cancer populations are hard to treat due to their enhanced chemo-resistance, characterized by aberrant methylated DNA subunits. Herein, we report on invoking response from such a cancer lineage to chemotherapy utilizing multifunctional copper telluride (Cu2-XTe) nanocubes (NCs) as photothermal and photodynamic agents, leading to significant anticancer activity. The NCs additionally possessed photoacoustic and X-ray contrast imaging abilities that could serve in image-guided therapeutic studies.

Abstract
NIR laser-induced photothermal therapy (PTT) through near-infrared agents has demonstrated the great potential in solid tumor ablation. However, the nonuniform heat distribution over tumors from PTT makes it insufficient to kill all tumor cells, resulting in tumor recurrence and inferior outcomes. To improve the tumor treatment efficacy, it is highly desirable to develop the combinational treatment of PTT with other modalities, especially with chemotherapeutic agents. Here we report a smart DOX/IR-780-loaded temperature-sensitive-liposome (DITSL) which can achieve NIR-laser-controlled drug release for chemo-photothermal synergistic tumor therapy. In this system, the liposoluble IR-780 was incorporated into the temperature-sensitive lipid bilayer and the soluble chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) was encapsulated in the hydrophilic core. The resulting DITSL is proved to be physiologically stable and can provide a fast and laser irradiation-controllable DOX release in the PBS and cellular conditions. We further employed this nanoparticle for tumor treatment, demonstrating significantly higher tumor inhibition efficacy than that of DOX-loaded temperature-sensitive-liposome (DTSL) or IR780-loaded temperature-sensitive-liposome (ITSL) in the in vitro cells and in vivo animals. Histological analysis further revealed much more apoptotic cells, confirming the advantageous anti-tumor effect of DITSL over DTSL or ITSL. Our study provides a promising strategy to realize chemo-photothermal synergistic combination therapy for breast tumors.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has recently attracted considerable attention owing to its controllable treatment process, high tumour eradication efficiency and minimal side effects on non-cancer cells. PTT can melt cancerous cells by localising tissue hyperthermia induced by internalised therapeutic agents with a high photothermal conversion efficiency under external laser irradiation. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have shown the significant potential of PTT to treat tumours in future practical applications. Unfortunately, the lack of visualisation towards agent delivery and internalisation, as well as imaging-guided comprehensive evaluation of therapeutic outcome, limits its further application. Developments in combined photothermal therapeutic nanoplatforms guided by different imaging modalities have compensated for the major drawback of PTT alone, proving PTT to be a promising technique in biomedical applications. In this review, we introduce recent developments in different imaging modalities including single-modal, dual-modal, triple-modal and even multi-modal imaging-guided PTT, together with imaging-guided multi-functional theranostic nanoplatforms.

Abstract
A simple, crude Jatropha curcas (JC) oil-based synthesis approach, devoid of any toxic phosphine and pyrophoric ligands, to produce size and shape tuned CdSe QDs and a further copper sulfide (Cu2S) encasing is presented. The QDs exhibited excellent photoluminescent properties with narrow band gap emission. Furthermore, the Cu2S shell rendered additional cytocompatibility and stability to the hybrid nanomaterial, which are major factors for translational and clinical applications of QDs. The nanocomposites were PEGylated and folate conjugated to augment their cytoamiability and enhance their specificity towards cancer cells. The nanohybrids possess potentials for visible, near infrared (NIR), photoacoustic (PA) and computed tomography (μCT) imaging. The diverse functionality of the composite was derived from the multi-channel imaging abilities and thermal competence on NIR laser irradiation to specifically actuate the photo-thermal ablation of brain cancer cells.

Abstract
As an efficient route to control pet overpopulation and develop neutered experimental animals, male sterilization via surgical techniques, chemical injections, and antifertility vaccines has brought particular attention recently. However, these traditional ways usually induce long-term adverse reactions, immune suppression, and serious infection and pain. To overcome the above limitations, we developed a platform in the present study by using plasmonic copper sulfide nanocrystals (Cu2-xS NCs) as intelligent light-driven sterilants with ideal outcomes. Upon NIR laser irradiation, these well-prepared Cu2-xS NCs can possess NIR-induced hyperthermia and generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Due to the cooperation of photothermal and photodynamic effects, these nanocrystals exhibited NIR-mediated toxicity toward Sertoli cells both in vitro and in vivo in a mild manner. We attribute the potential mechanism of cellular injury to the apoptosis-related death and denaturation of protein in the testicles. Furthermore, the possible metabolism route and long-term toxicity of these nanocrystals after testicular injection indicate their high biocompatibility. Taking together, our study on the NIR-induced toxicity of Cu2-xS NCs provides keen insights for the usage of plasmonic nanomaterials in biomedicine.

Abstract
The in vitro and in vivo uptake, toxicological analysis and anti-angiogenic theranostic prospect of FITC loaded (FITC-Si) and suramin loaded (Sur-Si) silica nanoparticles are presented. FITC/suramin encapsulated silica nanoparticles (NPs) with an average size of <30 nm were synthesized. The uptake of FITC-Si by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HuVECs) (in vitro) and by early stage medaka embryos (in vivo) was monitored by fluorescence microscopy. The nanoformulation was found to be biocompatible with both cells and embryos. The cytotoxicity analysis, tubulogenesis and migration assay confirmed the anti-angiogenic potential of Sur-Si NPs in HuVECs. The imaging of medaka embryos exposed to FITC-Si, their survival and hatching rate and biocompatibility post FITC-Si exposure were documented. The in vivo drug delivery mediated anti-angiogenic potential of Sur-Si NPs was assessed by survival and hatching rate analysis along with morphological indicators. At higher concentrations, Sur-Si proved lethal to embryos, whereas at lower concentrations it was rather an efficient anti-angiogenic formulation leading to malformed vasculogenesis and inhibited intersegmental vessel formation in an efficient dose dependent mode. The results indicate the potential application of such nanoformulation in future anti-angiogenic theranostics.
