Abstract
Hyperthermia can be integrated with tumor-killing chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy to give rise to an anti-tumor response. To this end, a nano-delivery system is built, which can connect hyperthermia and immunotherapy. On this basis, the impact of such a combination on the immune function of dendritic cells (DCs) is explored. The core of this system is the photothermal material gold nanorod (GNR), and its surface is covered with a silica shell. Additionally, it also forms a hollow mesoporous structure using the thermal etching approach, followed by modification of targeted molecule folic acid (FA) on its surface, and eventually forms a hollow mesoporous silica gold nanorod (GNR@void@mSiO2) modified by FA. GNR@void@mSiO2-PEG-FA (GVS-FA) performs well in photothermal properties, drug carriage and release and tumor targeting performance. Furthermore, the thermotherapy of tumor cells through in vitro NIR irradiation can directly kill tumor cells by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. GVS-FA loaded with imiquimod (R837) can be used as a adjuvant to enhance the immune function of DCs through hyperthermia.

Abstract
Cancer poses a significant challenge to global public health, seriously threatening human health and life. Although various therapeutic strategies, such as chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy, phototherapy, and starvation therapy, are applied to cancer treatment, their limited therapeutic effect, severe side effects, and unsatisfactory drug release behavior need to be carefully considered. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop efficient drug delivery strategies for improving cancer treatment efficacy and realizing on-demand drug delivery. Notably, pillararenes, as an emerging class of supramolecular macrocycles, possess unique properties of highly tunable structures, superior host-guest chemistry, facile modification, and good biocompatibility, which are widely used in cancer therapy to achieve controllable drug release and reduce the toxic side effects on normal tissues under various internal/external stimuli conditions. This review summarizes the recent advance of stimuli-responsive supramolecular delivery systems (SDSs) based on pillararenes for tumor therapy from the perspectives of different assembly methods and hybrid materials, including molecular-scale SDSs, supramolecular nano self-assembly delivery systems, and nanohybrid SDSs. Moreover, the prospects and critical challenges of stimuli-responsive SDSs based on pillararenes for cancer therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
Modern nanodrug delivery technologies offer new approaches in the fight against cancer. However, due to the heterogeneity of tumors and side effects of anticancer drugs, monotherapies are less effective. Herein, we report a novel pH and light dual-responsive nanodrug delivery platform. The platform was formed by sulfonate-modified gold nanoparticles loaded with the anticancer drugs doxorubicin (DOX) and glucose oxidase (GOx) and then covered by water-soluble pillar[5]arene as a nanovalve. The nanovalve formed by the host-guest interaction between pillar[5]arene and the sulfonic acid group grafted onto the gold nanoparticle increased the drug loading capacity of the nanoplatform and enabled sustained release of the drug in a simulated weakly acidic tumor environment. The released GOx can consume intracellular glucose, namely, starvation therapy, while the generated hydrogen peroxide can further kill tumor cells, complementing DOX chemotherapy. Gold nanoparticles have good photothermal conversion ability and can enhance the drugs release rate under specific wavelengths of light irradiation. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that this novel nanodrug delivery platform has good biocompatibility and better therapeutic efficacy relative to monotherapy. This study successfully developed a combined chemo/starvation therapy strategy with good tumor suppression, providing a new approach for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Copper (Cu), with the advantage of producing a deep reduction product, is a unique catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR). Designing a Cu-based catalyst to trigger CO2RR to a multicarbon product and understanding the accurate structure-activity relationship for elucidating reaction mechanisms still remain a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a rational design of a core-shell structured silica-copper catalyst (p-Cu@m-SiO2) through Cu-Si direct bonding for efficient and selective CO2RR. The Cu-Si interface fulfills the inversion in CO2RR product selectivity. The product ratio of C2H4/CH4 changes from 0.6 to 14.4 after silica modification, and the current density reaches a high of up to 450 mA cm-2. The kinetic isotopic effect, in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectra, and density functional theory were applied to elucidate the reaction mechanism. The SiO2 shell stabilizes the *H intermediate by forming Si-O-H and inhibits the hydrogen evolution reaction effectively. Moreover, the direct-bonded Cu-Si interface makes bare Cu sites with larger charge density. Such bare Cu sites and Si-O-H sites stabilized the *CHO and activated the *CO, promoting the coupling of *CHO and *CO intermediates to form C2H4. This work provides a promising strategy for designing Cu-based catalysts with high C2H4 catalytic activity.

Abstract
Herein, a self on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was constructed by pH stimuli response controlled release strategy, in which SiO2-PEI as the carrier, BSA/luminol-Ab2 as the encapsulated substance, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as the blocking cap, glucose as the inducer. In addition, CeO2-Au was used as catalyst, which generated more O2•- to increase the ECL signal. Under the action of voltage, the glucose was oxidized to gluconic acid, which induced the pH to decrease accordingly. Therefore, Au NPs were stimulated to fall from the surface of SiO2-PEI, releasing the BSA/luminol-Ab2 to realize self on mode. With such design, the constructed self on ECL biosensor owned an ultrasensitive detection capacity of CYFRA 21-1, showing an excellent linear relationship in the range of 0.001-100000 ng/L and 0.4 fg/mL low limit of detection (LOD). It provided an innovative idea for the biosensor construction to clinical detection of lung cancer.

Abstract
Porous silica coated gold nanorod core-shell structures demonstrate a multifunctional role in bioimaging, drug delivery, and cancer therapeutics applications. Here, we address a new approach for effective distribution of gold nanorods (GNRs) in a mesoporous silica (MS) shell, viz., one nanorod in one silica particle (GMS). We have studied that silica coating presents major advantages for the better biocompatibility and stability of GNRs. In this study, two different thicknesses of silica shell over GNRs have been discussed as per the application's need; GNRs in thin silica (11 nm) are fit for phototherapy and bioimaging, whereas thick and porous silica (51 nm) coated gold nanorods are suitable for triggered drug delivery and theranostics. However, effective distribution of GNRs in ordered architecture of thick mesoporous silica (MS, more than 50 nm thickness) with high surface area (more than 1000 m2/g) is not well understood so far. Here, we present methodical investigations for uniform and highly ordered mesoporous silica coating over GNRs with tunable thickness (6 to 51 nm). Judicious identification and optimization of different reaction parameters like concentrations of silica precursor (TEOS, 1.85-43.9 mM), template (CTAB, 0.9-5.7 mM), effect of temperature, pH (8.6-10.8), stirring speed (100-400 rpm), and, most importantly, the mode of addition of TEOS with GNRs have been discussed. Studies with thick, porous silica coated GNRs simplify the highest ever reported surface area (1100 m2/g) and cargo capacity (57%) with better product yield (g/batch). First and foremost, we report a highly scalable (more than 500 mL) and rapid direct deposition of an ordered MS shell around GNRs. These engineered core-shell nanoparticles demonstrate X-ray contrast property, synergistic photothermal-chemotherapeutics, and imaging of tumor cell (96% cell death) due to released fluorescent anticancer drug molecules and photothermal effect (52 °C) of embedded GNRs. A deeper insight into their influence on the architectural features and superior theranostics performances has been illustrated in detail. Hence, these findings indicate the potential impact of individual GMS for image guided combination therapeutics of cancer.

Abstract
The shortage of freshwater resources caused by heavy metal pollution is an acute global issue, which has a great impact on environmental protection and human health. Therefore, the exploitation of new strategies for designing and synthesizing green, efficient, and economical materials for the detection and removal of heavy metal ions is crucial. Among the various methods for the detection and removal of heavy ions, advanced functional systems including nanomaterials, polymers, porous materials, and biomaterials have attracted considerable attention over the past several years due to their capabilities of real-time detection, excellent removal efficiency, anti-interference, quick response, high selectivity, and low limit of detection. In this tutorial review, we review the general design principles underlying the aforementioned functional materials, and in particular highlight the fundamental mechanisms and specific examples of detecting and removing heavy metal ions. Additionally, the methods which enhance water purification quality using these functional materials have been reviewed, also current challenges and opportunities in this exciting field have been highlighted, including the fabrication, subsequent treatment, and potential future applications of such functional materials. We envision that this tutorial review will provide invaluable guidance for the design of functional materials tailored towards the detection and removal of heavy metals, thereby expediting the development of high-performance materials and fostering the development of more efficient approaches to water pollution remediation.

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

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most malignant cancers that develops rapidly and carries a poor prognosis. Synergistic cancer therapy strategy could enhance the clinical efficacy compared to either treatment alone. In this study, gold nanorods (AuNRs) were used as siRNA delivery vehicles to interfere with the oncogenes of KRAS. In addition, AuNRs were one of anisotropic nanomaterials that can absorb near-infrared (NIR) laser and achieve rapid photothermal therapy for malignant cancer cells. Modification of the erythrocyte membrane and antibody Plectin-1 occurred on the surface of the AuNRs, making them a promising target nanocarrier for enhancing antitumor effects. As a result, biomimetic nanoprobes presented advantages in biocompatibility, targeting capability, and drug-loading efficiency. Moreover, excellent antitumor effects have been achieved by synergistic photothermal/gene treatment. Therefore, our study would provide a general strategy to construct a multifunctional biomimetic theranostic multifunctional nanoplatform for preclinical studies of PC.

However, these advantages are offset by its quick body clearance and inferior photo-stability. In this work, programmable prodrug carriers for chemotherapy/PDT/PTT against nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were created in order to increase photo-stability and get around biochemical hurdles. The programmable prodrug carriers (PEG-PLA@DIT-PAMAM) that proactively penetrated deeply into NPC tumors and produced the deep phototherapy and selective drug release under laser irradiation was created by dendrimer-DOX/ICG/TPP (DIT-PAMAM) and PEGylated poly (α-lipoic acid) (PLA) copolymer. Long circulation times and minimal toxicity to mammalian cells are two benefits of PEG-coated carriers. The overexpressed GSH on the tumor cell or vascular endothelial cell of the NPC disintegrated the PEG-g-PLA chains and released the DIT-PAMAM nanoparticles after the carriers had reached the NPC tumor periphery. Small, positively charged DIT-PAMAM nanoparticles may penetrate tumors effectively and remain inside tumor for an extended period of time. In addition, the induced ROS cleaved the thioketal linkers for both DOX and nanoparticles and product hyperthermia (PTT) to kill cancer cells under laser irradiation, facilitating faster diffusion of nanoparticles and more effective tumor penetration with a programmable publication of DOX. The programmable prodrug carries showed high photo-stability high photo-stability, which enabled very effective PDT, PTT, and tumor-specific DOX release. With the goal of combining the effects of chemotherapy, PDT, and PTT against NPC, this research showed the great efficacy of programmable prodrug carriers.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNRs/AuNRs) are a group of gold nanoparticles which their simple surface chemistry allows for various surface modifications, providing the possibility of using them in the fabrication of biocompatible and functional nano-agents for cancer therapy. AuNRs, moreover, exhibit a maximum absorption of longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the near-infrared (NIR) region which overlaps with NIR bio-tissue 'window' suggesting that they are proper tools for thermal ablation of cancer cells. AuNRs can be used for induction of mono or combination therapies by administering various therapeutic approaches such as photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy (RT), and gene therapy (GT). In this review, anticancer therapeutic capacities of AuNRs along with different surface modifications are summarized comprehensively. The roles of AuNRs in fabrication of various nano-constructs are also discussed.

Abstract
In this study, a pH-responsive controlled-release mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) formulation was developed. The MSNs were functionalized with a histidine (His)-tagged targeting peptide (B3int) through an amide bond, and loaded with an anticancer drug (cisplatin (CP)) and a lysosomal destabilization mediator (chloroquine (CQ)). Cu2+ was then used to seal the pores of the MSNs via chelation with the His-tag. The resultant nanoparticles showed pH-responsive drug release, and could effectively target tumor cells via the targeting effect of B3int. The presence of CP and Cu2+ permits reactive oxygen species to be generated inside cells; thus, the chemotherapeutic effect of CP is augmented by chemodynamic therapy. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the nanoparticles are able to effectively kill tumor cells. An in vivo cancer model revealed that the nanoparticles increase apoptosis in tumor cells, and thereby diminish the tumor volume. No off-target toxicity was noted. It thus appears that the functionalized MSNs developed in this work have great potential for targeted, synergistic anticancer therapies.

Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape and adjustable plasmonic properties. With the continuous improvement in synthetic methods, a variety of materials have been attached around Au NRs to achieve unexpected or improved plasmonic properties and explore state-of-the-art technologies. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest progress on Au NRs, the most versatile anisotropic plasmonic NPs. We present a representative overview of the advances in the synthetic strategies and outline an extensive catalogue of Au-NR-based heterostructures with tailored architectures and special functionalities. The bottom-up assembly of Au NRs into preprogrammed metastructures is then discussed, as well as the design principles. We also provide a systematic elucidation of the different plasmonic properties associated with the Au-NR-based structures, followed by a discussion of the promising applications of Au NRs in various fields. We finally discuss the future research directions and challenges of Au NRs.

Abstract
Combined antitumor therapies based on nanomedicines have shown efficacy in various tumor models in recent years, overcoming the disadvantages of inefficiency and undesired toxicity of traditional therapies. Herein, we present a copper sulfide- and doxorubicin-loaded gold nanorods@mesoporous SiO2 multifunctional nanocomposite (AuNR@mSiO2@DOX-CuxS-PEG) to integrate chemotherapy, the photothermal properties of AuNRs, and the photodynamic properties of CuxS into a single nanoplatform based on hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic attraction. Upon near-infrared light irradiation, the AuNR@mSiO2@DOX-CuxS-PEG nanocomposites exhibit a synergistic therapeutic effect and inhibit the in situ tumor growth and lung metastasis in a melanoma model. This occurs because of the high photothermal conversion efficiency, boosted intracellular reactive oxygen species production, and excellent doxorubicin (DOX) release, as well as an induced tumor-specific immune response. The inspired antitumor immunity was confirmed by elevated infiltration of activated T cells in tumor tissues and improved maturation and activation of dendritic cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes. This study highlights the superior antitumor therapeutic effect elicited by a multifunctional nanoplatform for skin with in situ melanoma and lung metastasis inhibition, indicating its satisfactory clinical application prospects.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers are gaining much attention due to their versatile multifunctional activities, including disease diagnosis and treatment. Recently, clinical applications of nano-drug delivery systems for cancer treatment pose a challenge due to their limited cellular uptake, low bioavailability, poor targetability, stability issues, and unfavourable pharmacokinetics. To overcome these issues, researchers are focussing on stimuli-responsive systems. Nanocarriers elicit their role through endogenous (pH, temperature, enzyme, and redox) or exogenous (temperature, light, magnetic field, ultrasound) stimulus. These systems were designed to overcome the shortcomings such as non-specificity and toxicity associated with the conventional drug delivery systems. The pH variation between healthy cells and tumor microenvironment creates a platform for the generation of pH-sensitive nano delivery systems. Herein, we propose to present an overview of various internal and external stimuli-responsive behavior-based drug delivery systems. Herein, the present review will focus specifically on the significance of various pH-responsive nanomaterials such as polymeric nanoparticles, nano micelles, inorganic-based pH-sensitive drug delivery carriers such as calcium phosphate nanoparticles, and carbon dots in cancer treatment. Moreover, this review elaborates the recent findings on pH-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems with special emphasis on our reported stimuli-responsive systems for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The pre-mature release of therapeutic cargos in the bloodstream or off-target sites is a major hurdle in drug delivery. However, stimuli-specific drug release responses are capable of providing greater control over the cargo release. Herein, various types of nanocarriers have been employed for such applications. Among various types of nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have several attractive characteristics, such as high loading capacity, biocompatibility, small size, porous structure, high surface area, tunable pore size and ease of functionalization of the external and internal surfaces, which facilitates the entrapment and development of stimuli-dependent release of drugs. MSNPs could be modified with such stimuli-responsive entities like nucleic acid, peptides, polymers, organic molecules, etc., to prevent pre-mature cargo release, improving the therapeutic outcome. This controlled drug release system could be modulated to function upon extracellular or intracellular specific stimuli, including pH, enzyme, glucose, glutathione, light, temperature, etc., and thus provide minimal side effects at non-target sites. This system has great potential applications for the targeted delivery of therapeutics to treat clinically challenging diseases like cancer. This review summarizes the synthesis and design of stimuli-responsive release strategies of MSNP-based drug delivery systems along with investigations in biomedical applications.

Abstract
To enhance the efficacy of nanoparticle-based cancer therapy with reduced side effects and promote its clinical translation, a biocompatible nanocomposite based on mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods (AuNR@MSN) for triple tumor therapy is reported in this study. The gold core served as a hyperthermia agent, while the MSN shell acted as a reservoir of chemotherapeutics owing to its excellent loading capacity. Cytochrome c with the apoptosis inducing function was anchored on the surface of AuNR@MSN to prevent drug leakage through redox-responsive disulfide bonds. The successful construction of a nanocomposite was confirmed by characterization of the physicochemical properties. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that the nanocomposite displayed an optimizing anti-tumor effect with a synergistic strategy of excellent photothermal therapy, chemotherapy and protein therapy. Therefore, this cooperative strategy paves the way for high-efficiency oncotherapy with reduced side effects.

Abstract
Physically stimulated nanoparticles that deliver size-selected cargo and function as logic gates are reported. To achieve this goal the particle requires multiple components, and we recognized early on that the components, not just the released cargo, could be used to demonstrate logic operations (OR and AND logic). For stimuli, we chose two non-invasive types, red light and alternating magnetic fields (AMF), because they both have potential biological relevance. To realize cargo delivery with size selection and logic operations, we mechanized the surface of core@shell nanoparticles with a superparamagnetic core that generates localized heating when exposed to an AMF, and a mesoporous silica shell into which cargo molecules with different sizes were loaded. We demonstrate the core@shell nanoparticles can load the dual cargos with different sizes and subsequently release the smaller (∼0.5 nm) and bigger (∼2 nm) cargos in succession when stimulated by a red light followed by an AMF. Finally, we demonstrate that the multi-component nanoparticles could function as nanoparticle-based Boolean logic gates where AMF and red light served as the two inputs and the release of small cargo, and free cyclodextrin served as the outputs. The construction of two Boolean logic gates (OR, and AND) was realized.

Abstract
To achieve the promise of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer, they should (1) avoid premature clearance; (2) accumulate in tumors and undergo endocytosis by cancer cells; and (3) exhibit appropriate stimuli-responsive release of the payload. It is challenging to address all of these requirements simultaneously. However, the numerous proof-of-concept studies addressing one or more of these requirements reported every year have dramatically expanded the toolbox available for the design of drug delivery systems. This review highlights recent advances in the targeting and stimuli-responsiveness of drug delivery systems. It begins with a discussion of nanocarrier types and an overview of the factors influencing nanocarrier biodistribution. On-demand release strategies and their application to each type of nanocarrier are reviewed, including both endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Recent developments in stimuli-responsive targeting strategies are also discussed. The remaining challenges and prospective solutions in the field are discussed throughout the review, which is intended to assist researchers in overcoming interdisciplinary knowledge barriers and increase the speed of development. This review presents a nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems toolbox that enables the application of techniques across platforms and inspires researchers with interdisciplinary information to boost the development of multifunctional therapeutic nanoplatforms for cancer therapy.

Abstract
To date, plasmon resonance energy transfer (PRET)-based analytical approaches still inevitably suffer from limitations, such as lack of appropriate acceptor-donor pairs and the extra requirements of active groups of acceptors, which place great obstacles in extending the application of such methods, especially in the area of living cell studies. Herein, we design and fabricate a kind of "loading-type" plasmonic nanomaterials constituting gold nanoparticles as donors of PRET coated with mesoporous silicon, in which organic small molecules (CHCN) as acceptors of PRET were loaded (Au@MSN-CHCN). This "loading-type" strategy could conveniently integrate acceptor-donor pairs into one nanoparticle, so as to achieve the goal of sensitive detection of biomolecules in a complex physiological microenvironment. Based on the change of PRET efficiency of Au@MSN-CHCN induced by the specific reaction between CHCN and peroxynitrite (ONOO-), ONOO-, which plays an irreplaceable role in a series of physiological and pathological processes, is sensitively and selectively detected. Furthermore, in situ imaging of exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in living cells was achieved even at a single nanoparticle level. This work provides a general approach to construct PRET probes for visualizing various biomolecules in living cells.

Abstract
Electrical stimuli play an important role in regulating the delivery of plasmonic nanomaterials with cancer targeting peptides. Here, we developed an electro-responsive hydrogel-based microfluidic actuator platform for brain tumor targeting and photothermal therapy (PTT) applications. The electro-responsive hydrogels consisted of highly conductive silver nanowires (AgNWs) and biocompatible collagen I gels. We confirmed that an electrically conductive hydrogel could be used as an effective actuator by applying an electrical signal in the microfluidic platform. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrated PTT efficacy for brain tumor cells using targetable Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide-conjugated gold nanorods (GNRs). Therefore, our electro-responsive hydrogel-based microfluidic actuator platform could be useful for electro-responsive intelligent nanomaterial delivery and PTT applications.

Abstract
Construction of an efficient cationic gene delivery system with low cytotoxicity, high transfection efficacy, as well as gene tracking function remains a major challenge in gene therapy. Fabrication of simple and reversible nanocomplexes based on host-guest interaction provides an opportunity to construct stimuli-responsive intelligent supramolecular systems. Inspired by the hierarchical structure of viruses, a novel virus-mimicking PG/CB/TPE/DNA gene delivery system is developed via a multistep noncovalent self-assembly process between pDNA and the preformed PG/CB/TPE complexes based on the host-guest interaction between cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and the protonated diamine group in the poly(glycidyl methacrylate)s derivative (PG), as well as the electrostatic interaction between para-carboxyl functionalized tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and cationic PG. The developed efficient multifunctional gene delivery system exhibits stimuli responsive characteristics and aggregation-induced emission phenomena, thereby enabling gene delivery pH responsiveness and traceability. Moreover, the introduction of TPE and CB[7] endows the self-assembled PG/CB/TPE/DNA complexes with virus-mimicking architecture and properties such as low cytotoxicity, high stability, excellent endosomal escape, and efficient transfection, which are expected to be used as a promising gene delivery system.

Abstract
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is associated with both acute and chronic noise exposure. The application of steroid hormones is the first-line treatment for NIHL. However, a high dose of steroid hormone in the body is necessary to maintain its efficacy and causes side effects, such as headache and osteoporosis. In this work, we prepared a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-based system for steroid hormone delivery in the inner ear. Methylprednisolone (MP), a typical steroid hormone, was encapsulated into ZIF-90 nanoparticles (NPs) using one-pot synthesis method. The obtained MP@ZIF-90 NPs are negatively charged and 120 nm in size and showed good biocompatibility and stability at a pH value of 7.4. After intraperitoneal injection, ZIF-90 could efficiently protect drugs during peripheral blood circulation, enter the inner ear via the blood labyrinthine barrier (BLB) and slowly release the drugs. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests indicated that MP@ZIF-90 exhibits better protection of mice from noise than those using the free MP and ZIF-8 with encapsulated MP (MP@ZIF-8). More importantly, MP@ZIF-90 showed no defects to the inner ear after being treated for noise and low nephrotoxicity during therapy, which demonstrates the biocompatibility of this material. We believe the ZIF-90 based delivery system is an efficient strategy for inner ear therapy of NIHL.

Abstract
Supramolecular macrocycles are well known as guest receptors in supramolecular chemistry, especially host-guest chemistry. In addition to their wide applications in host-guest chemistry and related areas, macrocycles have also been employed to construct crystalline organic materials (COMs) owing to their particular structures that combine both rigidity and adaptivity. There are two main types of supramolecular-macrocycle-based COMs: those constructed from macrocycles themselves and those prepared from macrocycles with other organic linkers. This review summarizes recent developments in supramolecular-macrocycle-based COMs, which are categorized by various types of macrocycles, including cyclodextrins, calixarenes, resorcinarenes, pyrogalloarenes, cucurbiturils, pillararenes, and others. Effort is made to focus on the structures of supramolecular-macrocycle-based COMs and their structure-function relationships. In addition, the application of supramolecular-macrocycle-based COMs in gas storage or separation, molecular separation, solid-state electrolytes, proton conduction, iodine capture, water or environmental treatment, etc., are also presented. Finally, perspectives and future challenges in the field of supramolecular-macrocycle-based COMs are discussed.

Abstract
Background Externally triggered drug delivery systems hold considerable promise for improving the treatment of many diseases, in particular, diseases where the spatial–temporal release of the drug is critical to maximize their biological effect whilst minimizing undesirable, off-target, side effects. Results Herein, we developed a light-triggerable formulation that takes advantage of host–guest chemistry to complex drugs functionalized with a guest molecule and release it after exposure to near infrared (NIR) light due to the disruption of the non-covalent host–guest interactions. The system is composed by a gold nanorod (AuNR), which generates plasmonic heat after exposure to NIR, a thin layer of hyaluronic acid immobilized to the AuNR upon functionalization with a macrocycle, cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]), and a drug functionalized with a guest molecule that interacts with the macrocycle. For proof of concept, we have used this formulation for the intracellular release of a derivative of retinoic acid (RA), a molecule known to play a key role in tissue development and homeostasis as well as during cancer treatment. We showed that the formulation was able to conjugate approximately 65 μg of RA derivative per mg of CB[6] @AuNR and released it within a few minutes after exposure to a NIR laser. Importantly, the bioactivity of RA released from the formulation was demonstrated in a reporter cell line expressing luciferase under the control of the RA receptor. Conclusions This NIR light-triggered supramolecular-based modular platform holds great promise for theranostic applications.

Abstract
An azine-containing bispillar[5]arene was designed and synthesized by the reaction of aldehyde functionalized-pillar[5]arene and hydrazine. Then, a novel bispillar[5]arene-based supramolecular pseudopolyrotaxane has been successfully prepared via host-guest interaction. Interestingly, by taking advantage of the host-guest interactions, π-π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions, the multi-stimuli-responsive gel-sol phase transitions of such a supramolecular pseudopolyrotaxane gel were successfully realized under different stimuli, such as acid, temperature, concentration, and competitive guests. Moreover, this supramolecular system could effectively adsorb dye molecule rhodamine B. It is worth noting that this supramolecular pseudopolyrotaxane gel prepared in cyclohexanol solution (BP5·G·C) could be used as an adsorbent material for adsorbing rhodamine B with adsorption efficiency of 98.4%. Meanwhile, the adsorption efficiency was 97.6% for supramolecular pseudopolyrotaxane gel prepared in DMSO-H2O (v : v, 8 : 2) binary solution (BP5·G·D), also indicating the superior adsorption effect of BP5·G·D toward the dye molecule rhodamine B.

Abstract
Characterizing over-expressed enzymes or biomarkers in living cells is critical for the molecular understanding of disease pathology and consequently for designing precision medicines. Herein, a "switch-on" probe is designed to selectively detect γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) in living cells via a unique ensemble of enhanced fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In the presence of GGT, the γ-glutamyl bond in the probe molecule is cleaved, thereby activating a fluorescent probe molecule as well as a Raman reporter molecule. Consequently, the detection of GGT is achieved based on both plasmonic fluorescent enhancement and SERS with a detection limit as low as 1.2 × 10-3 U/L (normal range for GGT levels in the blood is 9-48 U/L). The main advantage of this platform is that on the occasion of fluorescence signal interference, especially in the presence of free metal ions in cells, the SERS signals still hold high stability as a backup. This work highlights the benefits of the marriage of two complimentary sensing techniques into one platform that can overcome the major obstacles of detection of real-time biomarkers and imaging in living cells.

Abstract
Noninvasive stimuli-responsive drug delivery using magnetic fields in conjunction with superparamagnetic nanoparticles offers the potential for the spatial and temporal control of drug release. When hyperthermia is not desired and control of the dosage is required, it is necessary to design a platform in which local heating on the nanoscale releases the therapeutic cargo without the bulk heating of the surrounding medium. In this paper, we report a design using a stimuli-responsive nanoparticle platform to control the dosage of the cargo released by an alternating magnetic field (AMF) actuation. A core@shell structure with a superparamagnetic doped iron oxide (MnFe2O4@CoFe2O4) nanoparticle core in a mesoporous silica shell was synthesized. The core used here has a high saturation magnetization value and a high specific loss power for heat generation under an AMF. The mesoporous shell has a high cargo-carrying capacity. A thermoresponsive molecular-based gatekeeper containing an aliphatic azo group was modified on the core@shell nanoparticles to regulate the cargo release. The mesoporous structure of the silica shell remained intact after exposure to an AMF, showing that the release of cargo is due to the removal of the gatekeepers instead of the destruction of the structure. Most importantly, we demonstrated that the amount of cargo released could be adjusted by the AMF exposure time. By applying multiple sequential exposures of AMF, we were able to release the cargo step-wise and increase the total amount of released cargo. In vitro studies showed that the death of pancreatic cancer cells treated by drug-loaded nanoparticles was controlled by different lengths of AMF exposure time due to different amount of drugs released from the carriers. The strategy developed here holds great promise for achieving the dosage, temporal, and spatial control of therapeutics delivery without the risk of overheating the particles' surroundings.

Abstract
Here, a novel triple-responsive graphene oxide hybrid supramolecular hydrogel based on the electrostatic self-assembly between graphene oxide and a quaternized polymer and the host-guest inclusion between α-cyclodextrins and poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (mPEG) was constructed. The quaternized polymer was synthesized by quaternization between pH-sensitive poly( N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) and bromine end-capped poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether. The supramolecular hydrogels prepared from the host-guest inclusion of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether and α-cyclodextrins would turn into a mobile sol phase when the temperature was increased above a certain temperature (Tgel-sol). Graphene oxide sheets not only acted as a core material to provide additional cross-linking but also absorbed NIR light and converted NIR light into heat to trigger the gel-sol transition. The constructed graphene oxide hybrid cyclodextrin-based supramolecular hydrogels could respond to NIR light, temperature, and pH, which could be beneficial for controlled release of cargoes and would hold great promise in the field of delivery systems.

Abstract
In this study, bio-responsive polymeric MoS2 nanocomposites were prepared for use as a drug carrier for cancer therapy. Herein, we report the synthesis and demonstrate the self-assembly of pluronic F127 (PF127) on a cystamine–glutathione–MoS2 (CYS–GSH–MoS2) system, which can be used for GSH-triggered drug release under biological reducing conditions. The reduction-sensitive disulfide bond containing CYS was incorporated between the amphiphilic copolymer PF127 and GSH–MoS2 to achieve feasible drug release. Percent drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency were 51.3% and 56%, respectively. In addition, when the MoS2–GSH–CYS–PF127 nanocomposite was incubated in a GSH environment, the morphology of the nanocomposite tended to change, ultimately leading to drug release. The drug-loaded PF127–CYS–GSH–MoS2 polymeric nanocomposites efficiently released 52% of their drug content after 72 h of incubation in a GSH reduction environment. The HeLa cells treated with DOX loaded MoS2–GSH–CYS–PF127 showed 38% toxicity at drug concentration of 40 μg, which indicated that the successfully released of drug from carrier and caused the cell death. Further, fluorescence microscopy images of HeLa cells revealed the potential behavior of the MoS2–GSH–CYS–PF12 nanocomposite during the 2- and 4 h incubation periods; the nanocomposite was only found in the cytoplasm of HeLa cells. Interestingly, after 6 h of incubation, the drug was slowly released from the nanocomposite and could enter the nucleus as confirmed by fluorescence imaging of HeLa cells. Altogether, our synthesized PF127-coated MoS2 nanocomposite could be effectively adopted in the near future as a GSH-sensitive drug carrier. In this study, bio-responsive polymeric MoS2 nanocomposites were prepared for use as a drug carrier for cancer therapy.![]()

Abstract
Supramolecular nanovalves are an emerging class of important elements that are functionalized on the surfaces of inorganic or hybrid nanocarriers in the constructions of smart cargo delivery systems. Taking advantage of the pseudorotaxane structure via host-guest complexation and the dynamic nature of supramolecular interactions, macrocyclic arene-based supramolecular nanovalves have shown great promise in the applications of drug delivery and controlled release. Careful selection of diverse external stimuli, such as pH variations, temperature changes, redox, enzymes, light irradiation, and competitive binding, can activate the opening and closing of the nanovalves by altering the supramolecular structure or binding affinities. Meanwhile, the porous solid supports in controlled release systems also play an important role in the functionalities of the nanocarriers, which include, but not limited to, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), core-shell nanomaterials, and rare-earth porous nanomaterials. The elaborate decoration by macrocyclic arenes-based supramolecular nanovalves on porous nanomaterials has provided intelligent controlled release platforms. In this review, we will focus on the overview of supramolecular nanovalves based on two typical macrocyclic arenes, that is, calixarenes and pillarenes, and their operation manners in the controlled release processes.

Abstract
Here we present a novel electrically switchable nanovalve array based on an intrinsic conductive polymer that has the capabilities to change its volume depending on its redox state. The polymer is created by anodic deposition of a sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS)-doped polypyrrole (PPy). Optimization of the DBS-doped PPy layers revealed an actuatoric performance of up to 10% out of plane volume change. More interestingly, the electrochemical characterization revealed an actuatoric monostable polymer that could be used to fabricate nanovalve arrays that have a native opened state when no potential is applied and that can be closed when a reductive potential is applied. As a proof of concept, Atto488-labeled biotin (Biotin-Atto488) was used as a model compound and defined nanovalve arrays with nanopores in the range of 10 nm in diameter (opened state) were fabricated. Afterward, we were able to successfully prove the functionality of our nanovalve array by monitoring the flow-through rates of the Biotin-Atto488. More strikingly, we could demonstrate for the first time the robust and long-term stability of our nanovalve array without any performance loss for at least 72 h and retention capabilities of up to 90%. Furthermore, the demonstrated long-term stability was achieved under biocompatible conditions without the need of toxic dopant supplementation of the flow-through solution. Thus, our novel functional long-term stable nanovalve array offers the capabilities for practical applications.

Abstract
Multifunctional supramolecular nanomaterials capable of targeted and multimodal therapy hold great potential to improve the efficiency of cancer therapeutics. Herein, we report a proof-of-concept nanoplatform for effective chemophotothermal therapy via the integration of folic acid-based active targeting and supramolecular nanovalves-based passive targeting. Inspired by facile surface engineering and designable layer-by-layer assembly concept, we design and synthesize PPy@UiO-66@WP6@PEI-Fa nanoparticles (PUWPFa NPs) to achieve efficient synergistic chemophotothermal therapy, taking advantage of the desirable photothermal conversion capability of polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPy NPs) and high drug-loading capacity of hybrid scaffolds. Significantly, pillararene-based pseudorotaxanes as pH/temperature dual-responsive nanovalves allow targeted drug delivery in pathological environment with sustained release over 4 days, which is complementary to photothermal therapy, and folic acid-conjugated polyethyleneimine (PEI-Fa) at the outmost layer through electrostatic interactions is able to enhance tumor-targeting and therapeutic efficiency. Such PUWPFa NPs showed efficient synergistic chemophotothermal therapy of cervical cancer both in vitro and in vivo. The present strategy offers not only the distinctly targeted drug delivery and release, but also excellent tumor inhibition efficacy of simultaneous chemophotothermal therapy, opening a new avenue for effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
AIM Polyethylene glycol modified mesoporous silica-coated bismuth nanohybrids (Bi@mSiO2-PEG) are fabricated for chemothermotherapy and multimodal imaging. MATERIALS & METHODS The Bi@mSiO2-PEG are synthesized by coating mesoporous SiO2 onto metallic Bi cores, followed by PEG modification. Their cytotoxicity, photothermal effect, drug loading, antitumor effect and imaging abilities are evaluated. RESULTS The nanohybrids show good biocompatibility, strong near-infrared absorbance, high photothermal conversion efficiency (∼36.6%), prominent infrared thermal imaging and photothermal killing efficacy on cancer cells. Utilizing the nanohybrids as potent drug carriers, a synergistic antitumor effect through chemothermotherapy is realized. Thanks to the superhigh x-ray attenuation coefficient and strong photothermal ability, high-contrast photoacoustic and x-ray computed tomography imaging are achieved. CONCLUSION These results reveal great potentials of the Bi@mSiO2-PEG for precise and efficient anticancer treatments.
