Abstract
Nanocatalysts are promising tumor therapeutics due to their ability to induce reactive oxygen species in the tumor microenvironment. Although increasing metal loading can improve catalytic activity, the quandary of high metal content versus potential systemic biotoxicity remains challenging. Here, a fully exposed active site strategy by site-specific anchoring of single iridium (Ir) atoms on the outer surface of a nitrogen-doped carbon composite (Ir single-atom catalyst (SAC)) is reported to achieve remarkable catalytic performance at ultralow metal content (≈0.11%). The Ir SAC exhibits prominent dual enzymatic activities to mimic peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase, which catalyzes the conversion of endogenous H2 O2 into •OH in the acidic TME and depletes glutathione (GSH) simultaneously. With an advanced support of GSH-trapping platinum(IV) and encapsulation with a red-blood-cell membrane, this nanocatalytic agent (Pt@IrSAC/RBC) causes intense lipid peroxidation that boosts tumor cell ferroptosis. The Pt@IrSAC/RBC demonstrates superior therapeutic efficacy in a mouse triple-negative mammary carcinoma model, resulting in complete tumor ablation in a single treatment session with negligible side effects. These outcomes may provide valuable insights into the design of nanocatalysts with high performance and biosafety for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles offer numerous advantages in various fields of science, particularly in medicine. Over recent years, the use of nanoparticles in disease diagnosis and treatments has increased dramatically by the development of stimuli-responsive nano-systems, which can respond to internal or external stimuli. In the last 10 years, many preclinical studies were performed on physically triggered nano-systems to develop and optimize stable, precise, and selective therapeutic or diagnostic agents. In this regard, the systems must meet the requirements of efficacy, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and safety before clinical investigation. Several undesired aspects need to be addressed to successfully translate these physical stimuli-responsive nano-systems, as biomaterials, into clinical practice. These have to be commonly taken into account when developing physically triggered systems; thus, also applicable for nano-systems based on nanomaterials. This review focuses on physically triggered nano-systems (PTNSs), with diagnostic or therapeutic and theranostic applications. Several types of physically triggered nano-systems based on polymeric micelles and hydrogels, mesoporous silica, and magnets are reviewed and discussed in various aspects.

Abstract
The development of stealth and effective antitumor nanodrugs has been drawing great attention. Herein, generation five poly(amide amine) dendrimer (G5 PAMAM) was modified by zwitterionic material carboxybetaine methacrylamide (CBMAA) on its surface to prepare zwitterionic dendrimer (G5-CBMAAn). The results showed that G5-CBMAA30 had the longest blood circulation time due to its thickest zwitterionic layer, and its residual rate after injection into mice at 2 and 12 h was as high as 47.22 % and 14.37 %, respectively. Nanodrug G5-CBMAA30-ICG was prepared by containing indocyanine green (ICG) in the cavity of G5-CBMAA30. G5-CBMAA30-ICG had better tumor targeting ability and antitumor effect than free ICG in mice after laser irradiation, and the tumor inhibition rate was 96.6 % after 14 days' treatment. The prepared G5-CBMAA30-ICG has great potential applications in the field of antitumor by phototherapy.

Abstract
Microgels are crosslinked, water-swollen networks with a 10 nm to 100 µm diameter and can be modified chemically or biologically to render them biocompatible for advanced clinical applications. Depending on their intended use, microgels require different mechanical and structural properties, which can be engineered on demand by altering the biochemical composition, crosslink density of the polymer network, and the fabrication method. Here, the fundamental aspects of microgel research and development, as well as their specific applications for theranostics and therapy in the clinic, are discussed. A detailed overview of microgel fabrication techniques with regards to their intended clinical application is presented, while focusing on how microgels can be employed as local drug delivery materials, scavengers, and contrast agents. Moreover, microgels can act as scaffolds for tissue engineering and regeneration application. Finally, an overview of microgels is given, which already made it into pre-clinical and clinical trials, while future challenges and chances are discussed. This review presents an instructive guideline for chemists, material scientists, and researchers in the biomedical field to introduce them to the fundamental physicochemical properties of microgels and guide them from fabrication methods via characterization techniques and functionalization of microgels toward specific applications in the clinic.

Abstract
Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology bring an alternative approach to personalized medicine in cancer treatment. Nanogels (NGs) are among the nanosized superconstructs composed of amphiphilic or hydrophilic polymer networks. The design of different types of biodegradable polymer-based NGs in various biomedical applications has received extensive attention, due to their unique physicochemical properties such as highly porous structure, stimuli-responsiveness, and mimicking of some biological properties. In this review, we concisely surveyed the synthesis of dendrimer-based NGs synthesized via different methods including covalent conjugation, inverse nanoprecipitation, physical cross-linking, or self-assembly for various cancer nanomedicine applications, particularly for drug delivery, gene delivery, photothermal therapy, and combination therapy, as well as for biological imaging-guided chemotherapy. Additionally, we provide herein future perspective toward the new design of dendrimer-based NGs for different cancer nanomedicine uses.

Abstract
Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based nanomaterials have been extensively explored for the photonic therapy. To the best of our knowledge, near-infrared (NIR) light is a requirement for the photothermal therapy (PTT) to achieve the feature of deep-tissue penetration, whereas no obvious absorption peaks existing in the NIR region for existing TMD nanomaterials limit their therapeutic efficacy. As one category of TMD nanomaterials, ruthenium sulfide-based nanomaterials have been less exploited in biomedical applications including tumor therapy so far. Here, we develop a facile biomineralization-assisted bottom-up strategy to synthesize oxygenic hybrid ruthenium sulfide nanoclusters (RuSx NCs) by regulating the oxygen amounts and sulfur defects for the optimized PTT. By regulating the increasing initial molar ratios of Ru to S, RuSx NCs with small sizes were endowed with increasing oxygen contents and sulfur defects, leading to the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) increasing from 32.8 to 41.9%, which were higher than that of most small-sized inorganic photothermal nanoagents. In contrast to commercial indocyanine green, these RuSx NCs exhibited higher photostability under NIR laser irradiation. The high PCE and superior photostability allowed RuSx NCs to effectively and completely ablate cancer cells. Thus, the proposed defect engineering strategy endows RuSx NCs with an excellent photothermal effect for the PTT of tumors of living mice, which also proves the potential of further exploring the properties of RuSx NCs for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica shell-coated gold nanorods (AuNRs@mSiO2) can be employed as promising multifunctional orientation probes in biological studies owing to their anisotropic optical properties, enhanced stability, excellent biocompatibility, etc. In this study, the optical properties of single AuNRs@mSiO2 are characterized under dark-field and differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. Furthermore, we presented polarization-dependent, periodic DIC images and intensities of single AuNRs@mSiO2 at their localized surface plasmon resonance wavelength and investigated their use as multifunctional orientation probes in dynamic biological environments. Moreover, the real-time rotational motions of the AuNRs@mSiO2 on the HeLa cell membranes were tracked with millisecond temporal resolution. Overall, AuNRs@mSiO2 demonstrated their capacity to act as multifunctional optical probes owing to the combined effect of the Au core, which can serve as an orientation probe and a local heat generator for phototherapy, and the mesoporous silica shell, which can be used as a reservoir of chemotherapeutics owing to its excellent loading capacity. We presented polarization-dependent, periodic DIC images and intensities of single AuNRs@mSiO2 at their LSPR wavelength and investigated their use as multifunctional orientation probes in biological environments.![]()

Abstract
Currently, research in nanoparticles as a drug delivery system has broadened to include their use as a delivery system for bioactive substances and a diagnostic or theranostic system. Nanogels, nanoparticles containing a high amount of water, have gained attention due to their advantages of colloidal stability, core-shell structure, and adjustable structural components. These advantages provide the potential to design and fabricate multifunctional nanosystems for various biomedical applications. Modified or functionalized polymers and some metals are components that markedly enhance the features of the nanogels, such as tunable amphiphilicity, biocompatibility, stimuli-responsiveness, or sensing moieties, leading to specificity, stability, and tracking abilities. Here, we review the diverse designs of core-shell structure nanogels along with studies on the fabrication and demonstration of the responsiveness of nanogels to different stimuli, temperature, pH, reductive environment, or radiation. Furthermore, additional biomedical applications are presented to illustrate the versatility of the nanogels.

Abstract
In recent years, the exploration of tumor microenvironment has provided a new approach for tumor treatment. More and more researches are devoted to designing tumor microenvironment-responsive nanogels loaded with therapeutic drugs. Compared with other drug carriers, nanogel has shown great potential in improving the effect of chemotherapy, which is attributed to its stable size, superior hydrophilicity, excellent biocompatibility, and responsiveness to specific environment. This review primarily summarizes the common preparation techniques of nanogels (such as free radical polymerization, covalent cross-linking, and physical self-assembly) and loading ways of drug in nanogels (including physical encapsulation and chemical coupling) as well as the controlled drug release behaviors. Furthermore, the difficulties and prospects of nanogels as drug carriers are also briefly described.

Abstract
Recently, hypothermal photothermal therapy (HPTT) seemed essential for the future clinical transformation of cancer optical therapies. However, at a lower working temperature, heat shock proteins (HSPs) seriously affect the anti-tumor effect of HPTT. This work reports a reasonable design of a dual-responsive nanoplatform for the synergistic treatment of chemotherapy and HPTT. We adopted a one-step method to wrap indocyanine green (ICG) into imidazole skeleton-8 (ZIF-8) and further loaded it with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX). Furthermore, we introduced Hsp-70 siRNA to block the affection of HSPs at an upstream node, thereby avoiding the side effects of traditional heat shock protein inhibitors. The prepared ZIF-8@ICG@DOX@siRNA nanoparticles (ZID-Si NPs) could significantly improve the stability of siRNA to effectively down-regulate the expression of HSP70 protein during the photothermal therapy, thus realizing the pH-controlled and NIR-triggered release of the chemotherapeutical drug DOX. Moreover, tumors were also imaged accurately by ICG wrapped in ZID-Si nanoparticles. After the evaluation of the in vitro and in vivo photothermal effect as well as the anti-tumor activity, we found that the added Hsp-70 siRNA enhanced the synergistic anti-cancer activity of HPTT and chemotherapy. In summary, this work holds great potential in cancer treatment, and suggests better efficacy of synergistic chemo/HPTT than the single-agent therapy.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a branch of science dealing with the development of new types of nanomaterials by several methods. In the biomedical field, nanotechnology is widely used in the form of nanotherapeutics. Therefore, the current biomedical research pays much attention to nanotechnology for the development of efficient cancer treatment. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared tricarbocyanine dye approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human clinical use. ICG is a biologically safe photosensitizer and it can kill tumor cells by producing singlet oxygen species and photothermal heat upon NIR irradiation. ICG has some limitations such as easy aggregation, rapid aqueous degradation, and a short half-life. To address these limitations, ICG is further formulated with nanoparticles. Therefore, ICG is integrated with organic nanomaterials (polymers, micelles, liposomes, dendrimers and protein), inorganic nanomaterials (magnetic, gold, mesoporous, calcium, and LDH based), and hybrid nanomaterials. The combination of ICG with nanomaterials provides highly efficient therapeutic effects. Nowadays, ICG is used for various biomedical applications, especially in cancer therapeutics. In this review, we mainly focus on ICG-based combined cancer nanotherapeutics for advanced cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cancer phototherapy with non-invasiveness and high therapeutical efficiency has emerged as a hot spot research in cancer management. Various nanomaterials have been involved in the development of novel photoactive agents to overcome the current limitations in cancer phototherapy. Dendrimers, as an excellent nanocarrier with unique physicochemical properties, have received extensive attention and much effort has been made in the development of dendrimer-based hybrid platforms for photomedicine applications. Dendrimers can be entrapped with photosensitive agents within their internal cavities and be surface modified with reactive molecules, constructing multifunctional nanoplatforms for cancer treatment. In this review, we concisely survey the design of several different kinds of dendrimer-based nanohybrids for cancer photomedicine applications, and provide an overview of their recent applications in molecular imaging, single-modality photothermal therapy or photodynamic therapy, combination therapy, and theranostics of cancer. In addition, we also briefly discuss the future perspectives in the area of dendrimer-based nanohybrids for cancer photomedicine.

Abstract
pH- and temperature-sensitive nanogels (NGs) were prepared from sodium alginate (SA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), as the sensitivity at pH 5.5 and 31 °C. SA was pH-modified with glutamic acid (Glu) and ethylenediamine (EDA). The products Glu-SA (Glu-modified SA) and EGSA (EDA- and Glu-modified SA) were characterized by ninhydrin color reaction, infrared spectroscopy, and zeta potential, and the best reactant ratio was selected. Moreover, temperature-sensitive, pH-sensitive EGSA-NGs possessing a semi-interpenetrating network structure were prepared by radical polymerization using N-isopropylacrylamide. The morphology of EGSA-NGs was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The cytotoxicity test shows the low cytotoxicity and high biocompatibility of the NGs. The newly prepared NGs were also subjected to pH-sensitive temperature-sensitive in vitro drug-loading and drug-release experiments. The pH-sensitive and temperature-sensitive experiments showed that the particle size of EGSA-NGs was reduced at pH 5.5 and above 31 °C. The drug-loading and drug-release experiments also confirmed this finding, indicating that the newly synthesized NGs could release the drug according to the environmental changes. Therefore, the material has potential application value in solid tumor targeted therapy.

Abstract
Nanogels are currently considered as promising nanosized drug delivery carriers. Nanogels are made of a crosslinked polymeric network which could encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs due to their tunable nature. The ability of nanogels to control drug release is vastly described in the literature and researchers are consistently improving the control of drug release from nanogel by designing new polymers having specific sensitivity to a chemical or physical stimulus. In this review, we briefly discuss the definition of nanogels, their release profiles, their specific gel-based characteristics and the pathways of dug release from nanogels. We have focused on the stimuli responsive nanogels and their release profile. This compilation opens the window for understanding the influence of chemical composition and design of various nanogel on their release in the presence and absence of corresponding stimuli such as temperature, pH, enzymes and others. The uniqueness of this review is that it highlights the data of release profiles in terms of the different nanogel composition and triggers. It also points the high potential of nanogels in the list of candidates for drug delivery systems, thanks to their properties regarding drug encapsulation and release, combined advantages of nano-size and swelling characteristics of hydrogel.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides, having tyroid shape of the molecule which has a hydrophobic cavity and outer hydrophilic surface. This characteristic feature of the dextrins allows it to function as a functionalizing as well as a stabilizing agent. Polymer nanocomposites are nanoscale composites of polymers with enhanced and synergized properties of its components and have been known to have applications in various fields of chemistry, biomedical, pharmaceutical and environmental purposes to name a few. To impart specificity, thermal, mechanical stability, resistance to solvents and biodegradability to the polymers, cyclodextrins have been incorporated in the nanocomposites. The utilization of the aforementioned properties of cyclodextrins to the polymer nanocomposites, implications of the incorporation of cyclodextrins to polymer nanocomposites and their subsequent applications in various fields have been discussed in this review systematically, using PRISMA guidelines.

Abstract
Biological synthetic methods of nanoparticles have shown great advantages, such as environmental friendliness, low cost, mild reaction conditions, and enhanced biocompatibility and stability of products. Bacteria, as one of the most important living organisms, have been utilized as bioreducing nanofactories to biosynthesize many metal nanoparticles or compounds. Here, inspired by the disinfection process of KMnO4, we for the first time introduce bacteria as both the template and the reducing agent to construct a novel tumor microenvironment-responsive MnOx-based nanoplatform for biomedical applications in various aspects. It is found that the bacterium/MnOx-based nanospindles (EM NSs) can efficiently encapsulate the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX), leading to the fluorescence quenching of the drug. The as-formed DOX-loaded EM NSs (EMD NSs) are proven to be decomposed by glutathione (GSH) and can simultaneously release DOX and Mn2+ ions. The former can be utilized for sensitive fluorescence-based GSH sensing with a limit of detection as low as 0.28 μM and selective cancer therapy, while the latter plays important roles in GSH-activated magnetic resonance imaging and chemodynamic therapy. We also demonstrate that these nanospindles can generate oxygen in the presence of endogenous hydrogen peroxide to inhibit P-glycoprotein expression under hypoxia and can achieve excellent tumor eradication and tumor metastasis inhibition performance. Taken together, this work designs a multifunctional bacterially synthesized nanomissile for imaging-guided tumor-specific chemo-chemodynamic combination therapy and will have implications for the design of microorganism-derived smart nanomedicines.

Abstract
Porphyrinoids, well-known cofactors in fundamental processes of life, have stimulated interest as synthetic models of natural systems and integral components of photodynamic therapy, but their utilization is compromised by self-aggregation in aqueous media. The capacity of cyclodextrins to include hydrophobic molecules in their cavity provides porphyrinoids with a protective environment against oxidation and the ability to disperse efficiently in biological fluids. Moreover, engineered cyclodextrin-porphyrinoid assemblies enhance the photodynamic abilities of porphyrinoids, can carry chemotherapeutics for synergistic modalities, and can be enriched with functions including cell recognition, tissue penetration, and imaging. This Perspective includes synthetic porphyrinoid-cyclodextrin models of proteins participating in fundamental processes, such as enzymatic catalysis, respiration, and electron transfer. In addition, since porphyrinoid-cyclodextrin systems comprise third generation photosensitizers, recent developments for their utilization in photomedicine, that is, multimodal therapy for cancer (e.g., PDT, PTT) and antimicrobial treatment, and eventually in biocompatible therapeutic or diagnostic platforms for next-generation nanomedicine and theranostics are discussed.

Abstract
Liposomes are able to load a range of cargos and have been used for drug delivery applications, including for stimuli-triggered drug release. Here, we describe an approach for imparting near infrared (NIR) light-triggered release to pre-formed liposomes, using a newly-synthesized cationic, amphiphilic phthalocyanine. When simply mixed in aqueous solution with cargo-loaded liposomes, the cationic amphiphilic phthalocyanine, but not a cationic hydrophilic azaphthalocyanine, spontaneously incorporates into the liposome bilayer. This enables subsequent release of loaded cargo (doxorubcin or basic orange) upon irradiation with NIR light. The rate of release could be altered by varying the amount of photosensitizer added to the liposomes. In the absence of NIR light exposure, stable cargo loading of the liposomes was maintained. Introduction.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is a promising approach for antitumor application although regrettably restricted by available photothermal agents. Physical entrapment of organic near-infrared dyes into nanosystems was extensively studied to reverse the dilemma. However, problems still remained, such as drug bursting and leakage. We developed here an amphiphilic prodrug conjugate by chemically modifying indocyanine green derivative (ICG-COOH) and paclitaxel (PTX) to hyaluronic acid (HA) backbone for integration of photothermal-chemotherapy and specific tumor imaging. The prepared ICG-HA-PTX conjugates could self-assemble into nanomicelles to improve the stability and reduce systemic toxicity of the therapeutic agents. The high local concentration of ICG-COOH in nanomicelles resulted in fluorescence self-quenching, leading to no fluorescence signal being detected in circulation. When the nanomicelles reached the tumor site via electron paramagnetic resonance effect and HA-mediated active targeting, the overexpressed esterase in tumor cells ruptured the ester linkage between drugs and HA, achieving tumor-targeted therapy and specific imaging. A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the easily prepared ICG- HA-PTX nanomicelles with high stability, smart release behavio r, and excellent tumor targeting ability showed formidable synergy in tumor inhibition, which provided new thoughts in developing an organic near-infrared-dye-based multifunctional delivery system for tumor theranostics.

Abstract
In the cutting-edge field of cancer therapy, noninvasive photothermal therapy (PTT) has received great attention because it is considered to overcome the drawbacks of conventional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy of severe body injuries and side effects on the immune system. The construction of PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms is the key issue in achieving tumor targeting, imaging and therapy in a synergetic manner. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in constructing PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms by integrating nanomaterials and functional polymers. The noninvasive photothermal cancer therapy mechanism and achievement strategies of PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms are presented as well as the innovative construction strategies and perspectives for the future. Owing to their high tumor ablation efficiency, biological availability and low- or non-toxicity, PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms are promising and emerging in medicine and clinical applications.

Abstract
Cyanine dyes are promising candidates in biomedical applications. Although various delivery systems have been developed to enhance their properties, their dendrimer-based delivery systems are seldom investigated. Herein, amine-terminated generation 5 poly(amidoamine) (G5.NH₂) dendrimers and new indocyanine green (IR820) dyes were chosen as models to study the loading ability of dendrimers for cyanine dynes. G5.NH₂ dendrimers were pre-modified with arginine-glycine-aspartic (RGD) peptides, poly(ethylene glycol) chains, and acetyl groups to be endowed with cancer cell specificity and biocompatibility. The formed Ac-PR dendrimers were used to load IR820, followed by thorough characterization. The loaded number of IR820 was estimated to be 6.7 per dendrimer. The stability of IR820 was improved through dendrimer loading, which was proved by their UV-vis spectra under different kinds of storage conditions. In addition, the formed Ac-PR dendrimers can retain the loaded IR820 effectively. Their cytocompatibility was desirable under the studied conditions. Their cellular uptake behaviors were demonstrated to be enhanced by RGD modification, showing concentration-, co-incubation time-, and αvβ₃ integrin receptor-dependent properties, displaying a cytoplasm-location. The findings from this work demonstrated the versatile loading and delivery capacity of dendrimers for near-infrared (NIR) dyes, providing fundamental data for the development of dendrimer/NIR dye systems for biomedical applications, especially for cancer theranostic applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Near-infrared ray (NIR)-responsive 'smart' nanoagents allow spatial and temporal control over the drug delivery process, noninvasively, without affecting healthy tissues and therefore they possess high potential for on-demand, targeted drug/gene delivery. Various NIR-responsive drug/gene delivery techniques are under investigation for peripheral disorders (especially for cancer). Nonetheless, their potential not been extensively examined for brain biomedical application. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on NIR-responsive characteristics of different NIR-nanobiophotonics-based nanoagents and associated drug delivery strategies. Together with their ongoing applications for peripheral drug delivery, we have highlighted the opportunities, challenges and possible solutions of NIR-nanobiophotonics for potential brain drug delivery. EXPERT OPINION NIR-nanobiophotonics can be considered superior among all photo-controlled drug/gene delivery approaches. Future work should focus on coupling NIR with biocompatible nanocarriers to determine the physiological compatibility of this approach. Their applications should be extended beyond the peripheral body region to brain region. Transient or intermittent NIR exposure strategies may be more accommodating for brain physiological ambience in order to minimize or avoid the possible deleterious thermal effect. In addition, while most studies are centered around the first NIR spectral window (700-1000 nm), the potential of second (1100-1350 nm) and third (1600-1870 nm) windows must be explored.

Abstract
Rose bengal (RB)-conjugated and -entrapped gelatin nanoparticle (GNP)-based biodegradable nanophototheranostic (Bd-NPT) agents have been developed for the efficient antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. The study reveals that the use of gelatin nanoparticles could bypass the chemicals such as potassium iodide, EDTA, calcium chloride and polymyxin nonapeptide for the penetration of drug into the cell membrane to achieve antimicrobial activity. We demonstrated that the singlet oxygen generated by the biodegradable gelatin nanoparticles (BdGNPs) could damage the microbial cell membrane and the cell dies. The key features of the successive development of this work include the environmentally benign amidation of RB with GNPs, which was so far unexplored, and the entrapment of RB into the gelatin nanoparticles (GNP). The RB-GNP exhibited potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and could be useful in treating multi-drug-resistant microbial infections.

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

Abstract
Some of the biomedical polymer-drug conjugates are being translated into clinical trials; however, they intrinsically lack photothermal and multi-imaging capabilities, hindering them from imaging-guided precision cancer therapy and complete tumor regression. We introduce a new concept of all-in-one biopolymer-drug conjugate nanotheranostics and prepare a kind of intracellular pH-sensitive polydopamine-doxorubicin (DOX) conjugate nanoparticles (PDCNs) under mild conditions. Significantly, this strategy integrates polymeric prodrug-induced chemotherapy (CT), near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated photothermal therapy (PT), and triple modalities including DOX self-fluorescence, photothermal, and photoacoustic (PA) imaging into one conjugate nanoparticle. The PDCNs present excellent photothermal property, dual stimuli-triggered drug release behavior, and about 12.4-fold blood circulation time compared to free DOX. Small animal fluorescent imaging technique confirms that PDCNs have preferential tumor accumulation effect in vivo, giving a 12.8-fold DOX higher than the control at 12 h postinjection. Upon NIR laser irradiation (5 min, 808 nm, and 2 W·cm-2), the PDCN-mediated photothermal effect can quickly elevate the tumor over 50 °C, exhibiting good photothermal and PA imaging functions, of which the PA amplitude is 3.6-fold greater than the control. In vitro and in vivo assays persuasively verify that intravenous photothermal-CT of PDCNs produces synergistic antitumor activity compared to single PT or CT, achieving complete tumor ablation during the evaluation period.

Abstract
Stimuli-triggered nanoplatforms have become attractive candidates for combined strategies for advanced liver cancer treatment. In this study, we designed a light-responsive nanoplatform with folic acid-targeting properties to surmount the poor aqueous stability and photostability of indocyanine green (ICG). In this Janus nanostructure, ICG was released on-demand from mesoporous silica compartments in response to near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, exhibiting predominant properties to convert light to heat in the cytoplasm to kill liver cancer cells. Importantly, the silver ions released from the silver compartment that were triggered by light could induce efficient chemotherapy to supplement photothermal therapy. Under NIR irradiation, ICG-loaded Janus nanoplatforms exhibited synergistic therapeutic capabilities both in vitro and in vivo compared with free ICG and ICG-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles themselves. Hence, our Janus nanoplatform could integrate ICG-based photothermal therapy and silver ion-based chemotherapy in a cascade manner, which might provide an efficient and safe strategy for combined liver cancer therapy.

Abstract
Supramolecular host-guest interactions are ideal for engineering supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs), because their modular character offers the possibility of using the same basic SNPs made of very similar building blocks in a variety of applications. The most widely used host is cyclodextrin (CD), therefore, this review will focus on SNPs involving CD as the host entity. In the first part, particle formation and size control are described, and the forces that induce the assembly between the different components and, therefore, result in the formation of stable and controllable nanoparticles. In the second part, the use of CD-based SNPs for diagnostics and therapeutics is described. Here, the emphasis is on how the therapeutic agent/imaging component is included in the system and how it is released at the target site. CD-based SNPs provide great possibilities for the formulation of nanoparticles for biomedical applications because of their high flexibility, stability, modular character, and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Smart drug delivery systems (DDSs) have attracted the attention of many scientists, as carriers that can be stimulated by changes in environmental parameters such as temperature, pH, light, electromagnetic fields, mechanical forces, etc. These smart nanocarriers can release their cargo on demand when their target is reached and the stimulus is applied. Using the techniques of nanotechnology, these nanocarriers can be tailored to be target-specific, and exhibit delayed or controlled release of drugs. Temperature-responsive nanocarriers are one of most important groups of smart nanoparticles (NPs) that have been investigated during the past decades. Temperature can either act as an external stimulus when heat is applied from the outside, or can be internal when pathological lesions have a naturally elevated termperature. A low critical solution temperature (LCST) is a special feature of some polymeric materials, and most of the temperature-responsive nanocarriers have been designed based on this feature. In this review, we attempt to summarize recent efforts to prepare innovative temperature-responsive nanocarriers and discuss their novel applications.

Abstract
To integrate cocktail chemotherapy with photothermal therapy into one biocompatible and biodegradable nanocarrier, the plasmonic, lactose-targeted, and dual anticancer drugs-loaded polypeptide composite nanoparticles were for the first time fabricated under mild conditions. The glyco-PEGylated polypeptide micelles that self-assembled from the lactose (LAC) and PEG grafted polycysteine terpolymer were used as templates to generate the plasmonic composite nanoparticles, as mainly characterized by DLS, TEM, SEM, and XPS. These composite nanoparticles showed a broad and strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption at 650-1100 nm and increased the temperature of phosphate buffer solution by 30.1 °C upon a continuous-wave laser irradiation (808 nm, 5 min, 2 W·cm(-2)), while the same dose of NIR-mediated heating completely killed HepG2 cancer cells in vitro, presenting excellent photothermal properties. Two anticancer drugs, doxorubicin (DOX) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), were loaded into the composite nanoparticles through physical interactions and Au-S bond, respectively. The dual drugs-loaded composite nanoparticles exhibited reduction-sensitive and NIR-triggered cocktail drugs release profiles and trigger-enhanced cytotoxicity. As evidenced by flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and MTT assay, the LAC-coated composite nanoparticles were more internalized by the HepG2 than the HeLa cell line, demonstrating a LAC-targeting enhanced cytotoxicity toward HepG2. The combination cocktail chemo-photothermal therapy produced a lower half maximal inhibitory concentration than cocktail chemotherapy or photothermal therapy alone, displaying a good synergistic antitumor effect.
