Abstract
Hollow CuS nanoparticles can achieve photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in tumor treatment. However, excessive GSH in the tumor cells will consume the reactive oxygen species produced by PDT and reduce the PDT effect. Cisplatin is a broad-spectrum antineoplastic drug that can be used in a variety of tumor treatments. However, cisplatin is cytotoxic to normal cells while it kills tumor cells. Therefore, we construct Pt(IV) complexes loaded hollow CuS nanoparticles to attenuate the toxicity of cisplatin and enhance the PDT effect of the hollow CuS nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were proved to be able to accumulate around the tumor site through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect to achieve a synergistic chemo/photothermal/photodynamic therapy.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2024; 244:114179.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is highly heterogeneous and aggressive, but therapies based on single-targeted nanoparticles frequently address these tumors as a single illness. To achieve more efficient drug transport, it is crucial to develop nanodrug-carrying systems that simultaneously target two or more cancer biomarkers. In addition, combining chemotherapy with near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated thermotherapy allows the thermal ablation of local malignancies via photothermal therapy (PTT), and triggers drug release to improve chemosensitivity. Thus, a novel dual-targeted nano-loading system, DOX@GO-HA-HN-1 (GHHD), was created for synergistic chemotherapy and PTT by the co-modification of carboxylated graphene oxide (GO) with hyaluronic acid (HA) and HN-1 peptide and loading with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). Targeted delivery using GHHD was shown to be superior to single-targeted nanoparticle delivery. NIR radiation will encourage the absorption of GHHD by tumor cells and cause the site-specific release of DOX in conjunction with the acidic microenvironment of the tumor. In addition, chemo-photothermal combination therapy for cancer treatment was realized by causing cell apoptosis under the irradiation of 808-nm laser. In summary, the application of GHHD to chemotherapy combined with photothermal therapy for OSCC is shown to have important potential as a means of combatting the low accumulation of single chemotherapeutic agents in tumors and drug resistance generated by single therapeutic means, enhancing therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease worldwide, is triggered by periodontopathogenic bacteria, resulting in the progressive destruction of periodontal tissue, particularly the alveolar bone. To effectively address periodontitis, this study proposed a nanoformulation known as CuS@MSN-SCS. This formulation involves coating citrate-grafted copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles with mesoporous silica (MSNs), followed by surface modification using amino groups and sulfated chitosan (SCS) through electrostatic interactions. The objective of this formulation is to achieve efficient bacteria removal by inducing ROS signaling pathways mediated by Cu2+ ions. Additionally, it aims to promote alveolar bone regeneration through Cu2+-induced pro-angiogenesis and SCS-mediated bone regeneration. As anticipated, by regulating the surface charges, the negatively charged CuS nanoparticles capped with sodium citrate were successfully coated with MSNs, and the subsequent introduction of amine groups using (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane was followed by the incorporation of SCS through electrostatic interactions, resulting in the formation of CuS@MSN-SCS. The developed nanoformulation was verified to not only significantly exacerbate the oxidative stress of Fusobacterium nucleatum, thereby suppressing bacteria growth and biofilm formation in vitro, but also effectively alleviate the inflammatory response and promote alveolar bone regeneration without evident biotoxicity in an in vivo rat periodontitis model. These findings contribute to the therapeutic effect on periodontitis. Overall, this study successfully developed a nanoformulation for combating bacteria and facilitating alveolar bone regeneration, demonstrating the promising potential for clinical treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
The reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced through the Fenton reaction, induces lipid peroxide (LPO), causing cellular structural damage and ultimately triggering ferroptosis. However, the generation of ROS in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is limited by the catalytic efficiency of the Fenton reaction. Herein, a novel hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticle (HMSN) combined with multi-metal sulfide-doped mesoporous silica nanocatalyzers (NCs) was developed, namely MxSy-HMSN NCs (M represents Cu Mn and Fe, S denotes sulfur). The MxSy-HMSN can dramatically enhanced the ferroptosis by: (1) facilitating the conversion of H2O2 to ·OH through Fenton or Fenton-like reactions through co-catalysis; (2) weakening ROS scavenging systems by depleting the over expressed glutathione (GSH) in TME; (3) providing exceptional photothermal therapy to augment ferroptosis. The MxSy-HMSN can also act as smart cargos for anticancer drug-doxorubicin (DOX). The release of DOX is responsive to GSH/pH/Near-infrared Light (NIR) irradiation at the tumor lesion, significantly improving therapeutic outcomes while minimizing side effects. Additionally, the MxSy-HMSN has demonstrated excellent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) potential. This smart MxSy-HMSN offer a synergetic approach combining ferroptosis with chemo-photothermal therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnose, which could be an informative guideline for the design of future NCs.

Abstract
Nanodrug delivery systems (NDSs), such as mesoporous silica, have been widely studied because of their high specific surface area, high loading rate, and easy modification; however, they are not easily metabolized and excreted by the human body and may be potentially harmful. Hence, we aimed to examine the synergistic anti-tumor effects of ex vivo chemo-photothermal therapy to develop a rational and highly biocompatible treatment protocol for tumors. We constructed a biodegradable NDS using organic mesoporous silica with a tetrasulfide bond structure, copper sulfide core, and folic acid-modified surface (CuS@DMONs-FA-DOX-PEG) to target a tumor site, dissociate, and release the drug. The degradation ability, photothermal conversion ability, hemocompatibility, and in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor effects of the CuS@DMONs-FA-DOX-PEG nanoparticles were evaluated. Our findings revealed that the nanoparticles encapsulated in copper sulfide exhibited significant photothermal activity and optimal photothermal conversion rate. Further, the drug was accurately delivered and released into the target tumor cells, annihilating them. This study demonstrated the successful preparation, safety, and synergistic anti-tumor effects of chemo-photothermal therapeutic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) have been used for centuries for the treatment and management of various diseases. However, their effective delivery to targeted sites may be a major challenge due to their poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and potential toxicity. Nanocarriers, such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles and organic/inorganic nanohybrids based on active constituents from TCMs have been extensively studied as a promising strategy to improve the delivery of active constituents from TCMs to achieve a higher therapeutic effect with fewer side effects compared to conventional formulations. This review summarizes the recent advances in nanocarrier-based delivery systems for various types of active constituents of TCMs, including terpenoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, and quinones, from different natural sources. This review covers the design and preparation of nanocarriers, their characterization, and in vitro/vivo evaluations. Additionally, this review highlights the challenges and opportunities in the field and suggests future directions for research. Nanocarrier-based delivery systems have shown great potential in improving the therapeutic efficacy of TCMs, and this review may serve as a comprehensive resource to researchers in this field.

Abstract
Engineering of a endogenous hydrogen sulfide responsive combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy for colon cancer. HKUST-1 was loaded with curcumin as an endogenous hydrogen sulfide-triggered smart agent. Cur@HKUST-1@PVP allows selective colon cancer tumor imaging.
Introduction Photothermal therapy can be synergistically combined with chemotherapy to improve the therapeutic effect for colon cancer. However, conventional therapeutic agents have side effects in normal tissues, limiting their application. Objectives To reduce these side effects, a smart agent (Cur@HKUST-1@PVP) whose functionality is triggered by the high content of endogenous hydrogen sulfide in colon tumors was engineered for photoacoustic imaging-guided combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy for colon tumors. Methods After reacting with hydrogen sulfide, Cur@HKUST-1@PVP simultaneously generates CuS and releases curcumin. The generated CuS serves as an imaging agent for both photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging, while the released curcumin is used for chemotherapy. Results In vivo photoacoustic imaging experiments demonstrated that Cur@HKUST-1@PVP can be used for selectively imaging colon cancer tumors. In vivo experiments in mice for treatment suggested that the endogenous hydrogen sulfide-activated combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy has a better treatment effect that photothermal therapy or chemotherapy treatment alone. Conclusion The endogenous hydrogen sulfide-activated Cur@HKUST-1@PVP agent developed herein shows great potential for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanocarrier (MSN) preparations have a wide range of medical applications. Studying the biocompatibility of MSN is an important part of clinical transformation. Scientists have developed different types of mesoporous silica nanocarriers (MSNs) for different applications to realize the great potential of MSNs in the field of biomedicine, especially in tumor treatment. MSNs have achieved good results in diagnostic bioimaging, tissue engineering, cancer treatment, vaccine development, biomaterial application and diagnostics. MSNs can improve the therapeutic efficiency of drugs, introduce new drug delivery strategies, and provide advantages that traditional drugs lack. It is necessary not only to innovate MSNs but also to comprehensively understand their biological distribution. In this review, we summarize the various medical uses of MSN preparations and explore the factors that affect their distribution and biocompatibility in the body based on metabolism. Designing more reasonable therapeutic nanomedicine is an important task for the further development of the potential clinical applications of MSNs.

Abstract
For the last 20 years, silica-based mesoporous materials have provided a sound platform for the development of biomedical technology applied to tissue engineering and drug delivery. Their unique structural and textural characteristics, chiefly, the ordered distribution of homogeneous and tunable pores with high surface areas and large pore volume, and their excellent biocompatibility provide an excellent starting point for bone tissue regeneration on the mesoporous surface, and also to load species of interest inside the pores. Adequate control of the synthesis conditions and functionalization of the mesoporous surface are critical factors in the design of new systems that are suitable for use in specific medical applications. Simultaneously, the use of appropriate characterization techniques in the several stages of design and manufacture of mesoporous particles allows us to ascertain the textural, structural and compositional modifications induced during the synthesis, functionalization and post-in vitro assays processes. In this scenario, the present paper shows, through several examples, the role of transmission electron microscopy and associated spectroscopic techniques in the search for useful information in the early design stages of mesoporous systems, with application in the fields of tissue regeneration and drug delivery systems.

Abstract
In this research, a NIR II luminescence imaging and enhanced chemo-/photothermal therapy system of CuS-DOX-Nd/FA NPs for breast cancer and lymph node tracing under single 808 nm irradiation is proposed. Nd-DTPA molecular cluster with the NIR II imaging effect as the carrier was designed to load the ultrasmall CuS nanoparticles and chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). The composite probe is used for tumor lesion imaging and tracking the breast cancer sentinel lymph nodes with simultaneous chemo-/photothermal therapy (PTT) for breast cancer under the single 808 nm laser. This designed probe not only has high permeability and retention (EPR) targeting effect but also can respond to the tumor microenvironment (TME), realizing more precise and efficient release of DOX at the cancer focus. At the same time, CuS as a drug carrier has a good photothermal therapy effect (photothermal conversion efficiency: 27.9%). The serialized released chemotherapy DOX and synergistic PTT effect can be used to the treat the in situ breast cancer land and simultaneously kill the metastasis cancer. The system made the combined molecular clusters Nd-DTPA achieve NIR II imaging of tumor lesions of breast cancer and lymph node to obtain the integration of diagnosis of the transferred disease for better prognosis. The feasibility of the system had obvious tumor growth inhibition effect with NIR II imaging guided is verified by a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Abstract
Nanoparticles with protein coronae can be used as promising multifunctional platforms for nanomedicine due to the possibility of performing surface functionalization on protein molecules and the achievement of biomedical properties. In this research, nanoparticles (NPs) with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PεCL) cores, gold NP (AuNP) shells and BSA coronae were fabricated by a self-assembly approach. The hydrophobic PεCL cores were used to encapsulate curcumin (CUR), the AuNP shells were decorated with a Raman probe, and the protein molecules in the coronae were functionalized with folic acid (FA). The self-assembly behaviors, drug delivery and the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of the hybrid NPs were investigated in this research. The sizes of the core-shell-corona NPs (CSCNPs) are dependent on the initial concentrations of PεCL and AuNPs. The CUR in CSCNPs show enzyme-triggered release properties. The added lipase or trypsin can facilitate the CUR release from the hybrid NPs. The functionalization of CSCNPs with FA can significantly improve the internalization of NPs into 4T1 tumor cells due to the overexpressed folate receptors on the cells. In addition, the SERS effect of CSCNPs can be achieved when the AuNPs are decorated with 2-naphthalenethiol. The hybrid CSCNPs can be used as a promising platform for spatiotemporal drug delivery, cell imaging, and theranostics. Based on the same CSCNP platform, flexible functions can be adjusted according to the application needs.

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
As an essential trace element in the human body, transitional metal copper (Cu) ions are the bioactive components within the body featuring dedicated biological effects such as promoting angiogenesis and influencing lipid/glucose metabolism. The recent substantial advances of nanotechnology and nanomedicine promote the emerging of distinctive Cu-involved biomaterial nanoplatforms with intriguing theranostic performances in biomedicine, which are originated from the biological effects of Cu species and the physiochemical attributes of Cu-composed nanoparticles. Based on the very-recent significant progresses of Cu-involved nanotheranostics, this work highlights and discusses the principles, progresses, and prospects on the elaborate design and rational construction of Cu-composed functional nanoplatforms for a diverse array of biomedical applications, including photonic nanomedicine, catalytic nanotherapeutics, antibacteria, accelerated tissue regeneration, and bioimaging. The engineering of Cu-based nanocomposites for synergistic nanotherapeutics is also exemplified, followed by revealing their intrinsic biological effects and biosafety for revolutionizing their clinical translation. Finally, the underlying critical concerns, unresolved hurdles, and future prospects on their clinical uses are analyzed and an outlook is provided. By entering the "Copper Age," these Cu-involved nanotherapeutic modalities are expected to find more broad biomedical applications in preclinical and clinical phases, despite the current research and developments still being in infancy.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) assisted effective internalization into CD44 receptor-overexpressing cancer cells, which could offer an excellent cytotoxic profile and tumor alterations. In this study, duo-photothermal agents (copper sulfide (CuS) and graphene oxide (GO)), chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubicin (DOX)), and targeting moiety (HA) were incorporated into a complexed nanoconstruct for trio-responsive chemo-phototherapy. The nanosystem (CuS(DOX)-GO-HA) was demonstrating its responsive drug release and escalated photothermal behavior. The hyperthermia and photodynamic effect were observed along with efficient ROS generation in the presence of dual photosensitizers. The in vivo biodistribution and photothermal profile reflected a high accumulation and retention of the nanoconstruct in the tumor. Importantly, nanoconstructs effectively inhibit tumor growth based on tumor volume analysis and the altered expression of apoptosis, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis markers. Collectively, these findings suggest that this nanoconstruct has excellent antitumor effects in CD44 overexpressed cells showing the potential for clinical translation in the future.

Abstract
Most of the existing single-component nanostructures cannot provide comprehensive diagnostic information, and their treatment strategies always have to combine other therapeutics as a complementary for effective biomedical application. Here, we adopted a facile approach to design a theranostic nanoflower (NF) with robust efficacy for comprehensive tumor diagnosis and quadruple synergistic cancer therapy. The NF is equipped with a metallic hybrid of several functional elements and flower-like superstructures and thus shows excellent in vitro and in vivo theranostic performance. It shows high X-ray attenuation coefficiency for the Bi element, strong near-infrared (NIR) plasmon absorbance and singlet oxygen (1O2) generation ability for the Mo element, and great photothermal conversion efficiency (54.7%) because of enhanced photoabsorption of the petal structure. Moreover, the NF realizes a very high doxorubicin-loading efficiency (90.0%) and bimodal pH/NIR-responsive drug release, posing a promise as a controlled drug carrier. The NF also shows excellent performance at trimodal magnetic resonance/X-ray computed tomography/photoacoustic imaging for comprehensive tumor diagnosis. To our best knowledge, it is the first time that integrating at least seven functions into one biomedical nanomaterial for well-rounded tumor theranostics has been reported. This "all-in-one" NF opens a new perspective in developing novel and efficient multifunctional nanotheranostics.

Abstract
Nowadays, gold nanoshells are used in targeted nano photothermal cancer therapy. This study surveyed the application of gold nanoshell (GNs) to thermal ablative therapy for melanoma cancer cells and it takes advantage of the near infrared absorption of gold nanoshells. The synthesis and characterization of glycosylated gold nanoshells (GGNs) were done. The cytotoxicity and photothermal effects of GNs on melanoma cells were evaluated using MTT assay and flow cytometry. The characterization data showed that GGNs are spherical, with a hydrodynamic size of 46.7 nm. Results suggest that the cellular uptake of GGNs was about 78%. Viability assays showed no significant toxicity at low concentrations of GNs. The higher heating rate and toxicity of cancer cells were obtained for the cells exposed to 808 nm NIR laser after incubation with GGNs rather than the GNs. The viability of these cells has dramatically decreased by 29%. Furthermore, 61% more cell lethality was achieved for A375 cells using combined photothermal therapy and treatment with GGNs in comparison to NIR radiation alone. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the synthesized gold/silica core-shell nanoparticles conjugated with glucosamine have high potentials to be considered as an efficient metal-nanoshell in the process of targeted cancer photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Copper chalcogenides have been exhibited to be an encouraging photothermal operator because of their great photothermal transformation proficiency, engineered effortlessness, and ease. Notwithstanding, the hydrophobic and low biocompatibility attributes related with their manufactured procedures hamper broadly natural applications. An elective methodology for improve hydrophilic nature and biocompatibility to coating into the copper-based chalcogenide nanostructures containing core shell silica materials. In this manuscript, the level headed planning configuration results in effective covering silica nanostructures onto the synthesized Cu9S5 to form Cu9S5@MS core-shell nanostructures. The structural formation and nanostructures of prepared nanomaterials with core shell structure were confirmed via analysis of transmission microscopic and particles distribution investigates, which infers that Cu9S5@MS has been organized by nano level with high stability. Also, the formation of Cu9S5@MS was confirmed by UV-Visible and X-ray techniques. As-prepared Cu9S5@MS nanovesicles display good biocompatibility, and are successfully utilized for photothermal removal of disease cells and NIR therapy. Additionally, the mode of cell death in esophageal squamous carcinoma cells were monitored various staining techniques (AO and EB, nuclear staining and flowcytometry). Further, we evaluated by the human esophageal squamous cancer cell lines to observe cell cycle arrest ability. Significantly, we demonstrate the combination of photothermal and chemotherapeutic techniques through the prepared nanovesicles exhibits outstanding impacts in the treatment of esophageal cancer therapies in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Integrating multimodal bioimaging and different therapies into one nanoplatform is a promising strategy for biomedical applications, but remains a great challenge. Herein, we have synthesized a biocompatible folic acid (FA) functionalized gold nanorod@polypyrrole@Fe3O4 (GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-FA) nanocomposite through a facile method. The conjugated FA has endowed the nanocomposite with the ability to recognize targeted cancer cells. Importantly, the nanocomposite has been successfully utilized for magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography (CT) and photoacoustic (PA) multimodal imaging. Moreover, the GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-DOX nanocomposite shows pH-responsive chemotherapy and enables the integration of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy to achieve superior antitumor efficacy. The GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-DOX nanocomposites have a drug release of 23.64%, and the photothermal efficiency of the GNR@PPy@Fe3O4 nanocomposites reaches 51.46%. Cell viability decreases to 15.83% and 16.47% because of the combination of chemo-photothermal therapy effects. Moreover, the GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-DOX-FA nanocomposite could target cancer cells via folic acid and under a magnetic field. The in vivo multimodal imaging and chemo-photothermal therapy effects showed that the GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-DOX-FA nanocomposites are a good contrast and theranostic agent. Thus, this multifunctional nanocomposite could be a promising theranostic platform for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-responsive drug delivery systems have enhanced tumor ablative efficiency through permeation and retention effects. Graphene oxide (GO) has shown great potential both in photothermal therapy and in drug delivery. Thus, in this study, we designed an ambient spark-generated GO, wrapped on topotecan (TPT)-loaded hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSN-NH2-TPT-CGO), to function as an efficient platform for pH-dependent sustained release of TPT. HMSN-NH2-TPT-CGO also exhibited a combined chemo-photothermal effect within a single carrier system. This developed system was stable with a uniform particle size (∼190 nm) and was demonstrated to possess a sufficient heat-absorbing capacity to induce tumor cell ablation. We performed the ablation of tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo in combination with photothermal therapy and chemotherapy using the spark-generated functional GO and HMSN. The prepared nanocarriers demonstrated high cellular uptake, apoptosis, and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. In vivo study using the MDA-MB-231 xenograft model revealed the ultraefficient tumor ablative performance of HMSN-NH2-TPT-CGO compared with that of free TPT, with no toxic effect on vital organs. Altogether, the optimized nanocarriers presented a significant potential to act as a vehicle for cancer treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first study that uses spark-generated graphene oxide nanoflakes to cover the topotecan (TPT)-loaded hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) to treat breast cancer. Dense silica was used as a hard template to prepare the HMSNs attributing to a high drug payload. The concentration of Na2CO3 was precisely controlled to minimize the silica etching time within 70 min. The use of the nanographene flakes served a dual purpose, first, by acting as a capping agent to prevent the premature release of drug and, second, by serving as a nano heater that significantly ablates the tumor cells. The prepared nanocarriers (NCs) exhibited effective and enhanced in vitro and in vivo apoptosis, as well as significant tumor growth inhibition even after 15 days of treatment time, with no toxic effect to the vital organs. The NCs enhanced in vitro tumor cell killing effects and served as an effective carrier for in vivo tumor regression, thereby highlighting the enormous potential of this system for breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs), emerging nanoplatforms with dual diagnostic and therapeutic applications, are being actively investigated in this era of "war on cancer" owing to their versatility and adaptability. This article discusses the pros and cons of using CuS NPs in diagnostics, therapeutics, and theranostics. The first section introduces CuS NPs and discusses the features that render them more advantageous than other established nanoplatforms in cancer management. Subsequent sections include specific in vitro and in vivo results of different studies showing the potential of CuS NPs as nanoplatforms. Methods used for visualization (photoacoustic imaging and magnetic resonance imaging) of CuS NPs and treatment (phototherapy and combinatorial therapy) have also been discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities associated with using CuS NPs have been elucidated. Further investigations on CuS NPs are required to translate it for clinical applications.

Abstract
Ideal nanoscale drug delivery system (DDS) should be biocompatible, having targeted recognition and controlled release properties. In this work, monodispersed, doxorubicin (Dox) loaded chitosan (Cts) nanospheres functionalized by mesoporous SiO2 and folic acid (FA) were prepared, briefly named as DCSF NSs. The prepared raspberry-like DCSF NSs had an average size of 440 nm and drug loading efficiency (DLE) of 42.61%. The drug release results confirmed that the release of Dox could be controlled by pH change. Cell apoptosis results indicated that the obtained DCSF NSs could kill 90% of MCF-7 cells in 48 h. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) results further revealed that folic acid could mediate the cellular uptake of DCSF NSs. These results demonstrated that the obtained DCSF NSs were pH-responsive, folic acid-triggered nuclear targeted, which can be used as ideal DDS for tumor chemotherapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanomaterials for dual-mode imaging guided cancer therapy are highly desirable in clinical applications. Herein, a flowerlike NiS2-coated NaLuF4:Nd (Lu:Nd@NiS2) nanoparticle was synthesized as a novel therapeutic agent for short-wave infrared light imaging and magnetic resonance imaging to guide photothermal therapy (PTT). The material was then loaded with phenolic epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), which is a natural heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor. Upon near infrared irradiation, EGCG was released from the Lu:Nd@NiS2-EGCG, which bound HSP90 and reduced cell tolerance to heat, resulting in a better therapeutic effect at the same elevated temperature. Therefore, with minimal side effects and remarkable antitumor efficacy in vivo, Lu:Nd@NiS2-EGCG appeared to be a promising photothermal agent for enhanced PTT.

Abstract
Combination therapy as a novel strategy with the combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy (photothermal-chemotherapy) has aroused the tremendously increasing interest owing to the synergistic therapeutic effect on destroying cancer cells because the hyperthermia generated from photothermal therapy can promote drug delivery into tumors, which would highly increase therapeutic efficacy as compared to those sole treatments. Herein, we fabricated a novel nanomaterial-based carrier composed of gold nanorods (GNRs), polypyrrole (PPy), and mesoporous silica to form GNRs/PPy/m-SiO2 core/shell hybrids. After loading the anticancer drug of doxorubicin (DOX), the photothermal effect and the drug-release behavior of GNRs/PPy@m-SiO2-DOX hybrids were investigated. The in vitro and in vivo near-infrared (NIR) photothermal-chemotherapy were also revealed. The results indicated that the NIR-induced photothermal effect was beneficial to promote the release of the drug. In addition, combination therapy demonstrated the enhanced synergistic efficacy and excellent treatment efficacy for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Hypoxia tumor microenvironment is a major challenge for photodynamical therapy (PDT), and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy combined PDT could be promising for enhanced anticancer therapy. In this study, we report an innovative 2-nitroimidazole derivative conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG) amphoteric polymer theranostic liposome encapsulated a photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6), hypoxia-activated prodrug Tirapazamine (TPZ) and gene probe for synergistic photodynamic-chemotherapy. Ce6-mediated PDT upon irradiation with a laser induces hypoxia, which leads to the disassembly of the liposome and activates the antitumor activity of TPZ for improved cancer cell-killing. The released co-delivered gene probe could effectively detect the oncogenic intracellular biomarker for diagnosis. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the greatly improved anti-cancer activity compared to conventional PDT. This work contributes to the design of hypoxia-responsive multifunctional liposome for tumor diagnosis and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy combined PDT for synergetic therapy, which holds great promise for future cancer therapy.

Abstract
A sandwich-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor for detecting N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was constructed on the basis of SnO2/SnS2/mpg-C3N4 nanocomposites and PbS/SiO2, with the former as a photoactive matrix and the latter as an efficient quencher. SnO2/SnS2/mpg-C3N4 was synthesized via in situ growth of SnO2 and SnS2 on mesoporous graphene like C3N4 nanocomposites (mpg-C3N4). Specifically, SnO2/SnS2/mpg-C3N4 exhibited intense PEC signal responses, which are tens of times stronger than its each single component. Because of its superior performance, SnO2/SnS2/mpg-C3N4 was applied as a photoactive matrix and signal indicator for fabricating PEC immunosensor. Interestingly, the excellent PEC signals from SnO2/SnS2/mpg-C3N4 could be reduced severely with the addition of PbS/SiO2. Hence, the secondary antibody bioconjugates (PbS/SiO2-Ab2) were prepared as an efficient quencher. The mechanism of the quench reaction was further discussed in detail. On the basis of the interaction between the matrix and the quencher, the NT-proBNP immunosensor was fabricated and a wide linear range of 0.1 pg·mL-1 to 50 ng·mL-1 was obtained with a low detection limit of 0.05 pg·mL-1. Additionally, the PEC immunosensor manifested good stability, reproducibility, and selectivity, which could underlie robust platforms for detecting multitudinous biomarkers or other targets of interest.

Abstract
Breast cancer therapy has always been a hard but urgent issue. Disruption of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis has been reported as an effective antitumor strategy, while how to contribute to mitochondrial Ca2+ overload effectively is a critical issue. To solve this issue, we designed and engineered a dual enhanced Ca2+ nanogenerator (DECaNG), which can induce elevation of intracellular Ca2+ through the following three ways: Calcium phosphate (CaP)-doped hollow mesoporous copper sulfide was the basic Ca2+ nanogenerator to generate Ca2+ directly and persistently in the lysosomes (low pH). Near-infrared light radiation (NIR, such as 808 nm laser) can accelerate Ca2+ generation from the basic Ca2+ nanogenerator by disturbing the crystal lattice of hollow mesoporous copper sulfide via NIR-induced heat. Curcumin can facilitate Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum to cytoplasm and inhibit expelling of Ca2+ in cytoplasm through the cytoplasmic membrane. The in vitro study showed that DECaNG could produce a large amount of Ca2+ directly and persistently to flow to mitochondria, leading to upregulation of Caspase-3, cytochrome c, and downregulation of Bcl-2 and ATP followed by cell apoptosis. In addition, DECaNG had an outstanding photothermal effect. Interestingly, it was found that DECaNG exerted a stronger photothermal effect at lower pH due to the super small nanoparticles effect, thus enhancing photothermal therapy. In the in vivo study, the nanoplatform had good tumor targeting and treatment efficacy via a combination of disruption of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis and photothermal therapy. The metabolism of CaNG was sped up through disintegration of CaNG into smaller nanoparticles, reducing the retention time of the nanoplatform in vivo. Therefore, DECaNG can be a promising drug delivery system for breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional therapeutic agents in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window have attracted wide attention on account of their synergetic properties for effective cancer therapy. Here, we construct a selective growth strategy for the first time to fabricate ternary Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) containing hemispherical MnO2 at one side and Au core covered with CuS shell at opposite side. The obtained ternary JNPs are further modified with poly(ethylene glycol)thiol to enhance the stability and biocompatibility (designated as PEG-CuS-Au-MnO2 ternary JNPs). The MnO2 domain with mesoporous structures can serve as hydrophobic drug carriers and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agents. Meanwhile, the Au segment is used for X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging. Moreover, the PEG-CuS-Au-MnO2 ternary JNPs can conduct hyperthermia at 1064 nm in NIR-II window to ablate tumors in deep tissue, which is ascribed to the localized surface plasmon resonance coupling effect of the Au core and CuS domain. All of the results reveal that PEG-CuS-Au-MnO2 ternary JNPs not only exhibit pre-eminent CT/MR imaging capabilities, but also provide high chemo-photothermal antitumor efficacy under the guidance of CT/MR imaging. Taking together, the PEG-CuS-Au-MnO2 ternary JNPs can be regarded as a prospective therapeutic nanoplatform for dual-modal imaging-guided synergistic chemo-photothermal cancer therapy in the NIR-II window.

Abstract
The interfacial microcracks in the resin matrix composites are difficult to be detected and repaired. However, the self-healing concept provides opportunities to fabricate composites with unusual properties. In the present study, photothermal conversion Ag-Cu2S nanoparticles were immobilized onto poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers via a polydopamine chemistry. Benefitting from the photothermal effects of Ag-Cu2S, the obtained PBO fibers (Ag-Cu2S-PBO) efficiently converted the light energy into heat under Xenon lamp irradiation. Then, single PBO fiber composites were prepared using thermoplastic polyurethane as the matrix. It was found that the interfacial damage caused by single fiber pull-out was simply self-healed by Xe light irradiation. This wonderful interfacial damage self-healing property was mainly attributed to the in situ heating generation via photothermal effects of Ag-Cu2S in the composite interface. This paper reports a novel strategy to construct advanced composites with light-triggered self-healing properties, which will provide inspiration for preparing high performance composite materials.

Abstract
In this study, a versatile tumor-targeted and multi-stimuli-responsive drug delivery vehicle (Se particle@porous silica-folic acid-copper sulfide/doxorubicin (Se@SiO2-FA-CuS/DOX)) was fabricated for combined photothermal therapy with chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Due to excellent targeting ability, the Se@SiO2-FA-CuS/DOX nanocomposites actively accumulated in tumor tissues and thus provided photothermal therapy under NIR irradiation and chemotherapy through the release of DOX and Se. Owing to the synergistic effect of chemotherapy (Se and DOX) and photothermal therapy, the Se@SiO2-FA-CuS/DOX nanocomposites could efficiently inhibit cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo and even completely eliminate tumors. Moreover, as the toxicity of DOX could be reduced by Se, the treatment using Se@SiO2-FA-CuS/DOX nanocomposites exhibited no appreciable adverse reactions. Thus, the Se@SiO2-FA-CuS/DOX nanocomposites have great potential as a multifunctional nanoplatform in future clinical applications.

Abstract
CuS-based nanostructures loading the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) exerted excellent cancer photothermal chemotherapy under multi-external stimuli. The DOX loading was generally designed through electrostatic interaction or chemical linkers. However, the interaction between DOX molecules and CuS nanoparticles has not been investigated. In this work, we use PEGylated hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (HCuSNPs) to directly load DOX through the DOX/Cu2+ chelation process. Distinctively, the synthesized PEG-HCuSNPs-DOX release the DOX/Cu2+ complexes into surrounding environment, which generate significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a controlled manner by near-infrared laser. The CuS nanoparticle-mediated photothermal ablation facilitates the ROS-induced cancer cell killing effect. Our current work reveals a DOX/Cu2+-mediated ROS-enhanced cell-killing effect in addition to conventional photothermal chemotherapy through the direct CuS nanoparticle-DOX complexation.

Abstract
Despite the development of medical technology, cancer still remains a great threat to the survival of people all over the world. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a minimally invasive method for selective photothermal ablation of cancer cells without damages to normal cells. Recently, copper chalcogenide semiconductors have emerged as a promising photothermal agent attributed to strong absorbance in the near-infrared (NIR) region and high photothermal conversion efficiency. An earlier study witnessed a rapid increase in their development for cancer therapy, including CuS, Cu2-xSe and CuTe nanocrystals. However, a barrier is that the minimum laser power intensity for effective PTT is still significantly higher than the conservative limit for human skin exposure. Improving the photothermal conversion efficiency and reducing the laser power density has become a direction for the development of PTT. Furthermore, in an effort to improve the therapeutic efficacy, many multimode therapeutic nanostuctures have been formulated by integrating the photothermal agents with antitumor drugs, photosensitizers, or radiosensitizers, resulting in a synergistic effect. Various functional materials also have been absorbed, attached, encapsulated, or coated on the photothermal nanostructures, including fluorescence, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, realizing cancer diagnosis, tumor location, site-specific therapy, and evaluation of therapeutic responses via incorporation of diagnosis and treatment. In this Account, we present an overview of the NIR-responsive photothermal semiconductor nanomaterials for cancer theranostics with a focus on their design and functionalization based on our own work. Our group has developed a series of chalcogenides with greatly improved NIR photoabsorption as photothermal agents, allowing laser exposure within regulatory limits. We also investigated the photothermal bioapplications of hypotoxic oxides including WO3-x, MoO3-x, and RuO2, expanding their applications into a new field of photothermal materials. Furthermore, considering a much more enhanced therapeutic effect of multifunctional nanoagents, our group elaborately designed many nanocomposites, such as core-shell nanoparticles of Fe3O4@Cu2-xS and Cu9S5@mSiO2, based on the integration of photothermal agents with contrast agents or other anticancer medicines, achieving cancer theranostic and synergistic treatment. Ternary compound nanocrystals were also prepared with synthetic simplicity for multimodal imaging-guided therapy for cancer. This Account summarizes our past work, including the design and concept, synthesis, and characterization for in vitro and in vivo applications. Then, we analyzed the tendencies of the NIR-responsive photothermal semiconductor nanomaterials for clinical applications, highlighting their prospects and challenges. We believe that the photothermal technology from the NIR-responsive photothermal semiconductor nanomaterials would promote cancer theranostics to result in giant strides forward in the future.

Abstract
Actively targeted hollow nanoparticles may play key roles in precise anti-cancer therapy. Here, unique Cu39S28 hollow nanopeanuts (HNPs) were synthesized via a facile one-step method and the formation mechanism was illustrated. The as-synthesized Cu39S28 HNPs exhibit outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency (41.1%) and drug storage capacity (DOX, 99.5 %). At the same time, the DOX drug loading nanocomposites have shown great sensitive response of release to either pH value or near infrared ray (NIR). In particular, the folic acid (FA) can easily conjugate with the synthesized Cu39S28 HNPs without further modification to get a targeted effect. The FA modified Cu39S28 HNPs showed an efficiently targeting effect in vitro and could considerably enhance the tumor-targeting effect more than 10 times in vivo. Moreover, the synthetical hyperthermia and drug release from Cu39S28 HNPs when under 808 nm laser could significantly improve the therapeutic efficacy compared with photothermal or chemotherapy alone both in vitro and in vivo. The histological studies in main organs also proved the well biocompatibility, while the tumor sites were in seriously destruction due to the accumulation of the nanocomposites and the combined photothermal chemo therapy effect. Therefore, the multi-functional nanocomposites is excellent antitumor agents due to their superb therapy effect in breast cancer.

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
In this study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been successfully capped with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) to form multifunctional GQD-MSNs with the potential for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy. The structure, drug-release behavior, photothermal effect, and synergistic therapeutic efficiency of GQD-MSNs to 4T1 breast cancer cells were investigated. The results showed that GQD-MSNs were monodisperse and had a particle size of 50-60 nm. Using doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) as a model drug, the DOX-loaded GQD-MSNs (DOX-GQD-MSNs) not only exhibited pH- and temperature-responsive drug-release behavior, but using near-infrared irradiation, they efficiently generated heat to kill cancer cells. Furthermore, GQD-MSNs were biocompatible and were internalized by 4T1 cells. Compared with chemotherapy and photothermal therapy alone, DOX-GQD-MSNs were much more effective in killing the 4T1 cells owing to a synergistic chemo-photothermal effect. Therefore, GQD-MSNs may have promising applications in cancer therapy.

Graphene Quantum Dots-Capped Magnetic Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as a Multifunctional Platform for Controlled Drug Delivery, Magnetic Hyperthermia, and Photothermal Therapy. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2017; 13:1602225.

Abstract
A multifunctional platform is reported for synergistic therapy with controlled drug release, magnetic hyperthermia, and photothermal therapy, which is composed of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as caps and local photothermal generators and magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MMSN) as drug carriers and magnetic thermoseeds. The structure, drug release behavior, magnetic hyperthermia capacity, photothermal effect, and synergistic therapeutic efficiency of the MMSN/GQDs nanoparticles are investigated. The results show that monodisperse MMSN/GQDs nanoparticles with the particle size of 100 nm can load doxorubicin (DOX) and trigger DOX release by low pH environment. Furthermore, the MMSN/GQDs nanoparticles can efficiently generate heat to the hyperthermia temperature under an alternating magnetic field or by near infrared irradiation. More importantly, breast cancer 4T1 cells as a model cellular system, the results indicate that compared with chemotherapy, magnetic hyperthermia or photothermal therapy alone, the combined chemo-magnetic hyperthermia therapy or chemo-photothermal therapy with the DOX-loaded MMSN/GQDs nanosystem exhibits a significant synergistic effect, resulting in a higher efficacy to kill cancer cells. Therefore, the MMSN/GQDs multifunctional platform has great potential in cancer therapy for enhancing the therapeutic efficiency.
