Abstract
Light-triggered treatment approach has been regarded as an effective option for sterilization due to noninvasiveness, limited drug resistance, and minimized adverse effects. Herein, we designed and synthesized a functionalized cationic polymer, CR-PQAC, with croconaine bridging agent and quaternary ammonium groups for photothermal enhanced antimicrobial therapy under near-infrared irradiation. The quaternary ammonium group on the pendent chain endowing CR-PQAC the ability to effectively bind to bacteria. The CR-PQAC could self-assembles into micellar nanoparticles in aqueous solution, which exhibited strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region, excellent photostability, and photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 43.8 %. Notably, the CR-PQAC nanoparticles presented remarkable antibacterial activity against both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) bacteria with 808 nm laser irradiation. Moreover, the developed CR-PQAC has negligible dark cytotoxicity and good hemolytic compatibility against mammalian cells. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that the desirable antibacterial efficacy of CR-PQAC was obtained. Therefore, the proposed CR-PQAC may be a promising antimicrobial agent for NIR-enhanced killing bacterial.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) organic small molecule dyes (OSMDs) are effective photothermal agents for photothermal therapy (PTT) due to their advantages of low cost and toxicity, good biodegradation, and strong NIR absorption over a wide wavelength range. Nevertheless, OSMDs have limited applicability in PTT due to their low photothermal conversion efficiency and inadequate destruction of tumor regions that are nonirradiated by NIR light. However, they can also act as photosensitizers (PSs) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can be further eradicated by using ROS-related therapies to address the above limitations of PTT. In this review, the synergistic mechanism, composition, and properties of photodynamic therapy (PDT)-PTT nanoplatforms were comprehensively discussed. In addition, some specific strategies for further improving the combined PTT and PDT based on OSMDs for cancer to completely eradicate cancer cells were outlined. These strategies include performing image-guided co-therapy, enhancing tumor infiltration, increasing H2O2 or O2 in the tumor microenvironment, and loading anticancer drugs onto nanoplatforms to enable combined therapy with phototherapy and chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the intriguing prospects and challenges of this treatment modality were also summarized with a focus on the future trends of its clinical application.

Abstract
The ability to construct three-dimensional architectures via nanoscale engineering is important for emerging applications in sensors, catalysis, controlled drug delivery, microelectronics, and medical diagnostics nanotechnologies. Because of their well-defined and highly organized symmetric structures, viral plant capsids provide a 3D scaffold for the precise placement of functional inorganic particles yielding advanced hierarchical hybrid nanomaterials. In this study, we used turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV), grafting gold nanoparticles (AuNP) or iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP) onto its outer surface. It is the first time that such an assembly was obtained with IONP. After purification, the resulting nano-biohybrids were characterized by different technics (dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microcopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy…), showing the robustness of the architectures and their colloidal stability in water. In-solution photothermal experiments were then successfully conducted on TYMV-AuNP and TYMV-IONP, the related nano-biohybrids, evidencing a net enhancement of the heating capability of these systems compared to their free NP counterparts. These results suggest that these virus-based materials could be used as photothermal therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most dangerous health problems in the millennium and it is the third foremost human cause of death in the universe. Traditional cancer treatments face several disadvantages and cannot often afford adequate outcomes. It has been exhibited that the outcome of several therapies can be improved when associated with nanostructures. In addition, a modern tendency is being developed in cancer therapy to convert single-modal into multi-modal therapies with the help of existing various nanostructures. Among them, gold is the most successful nanostructure for biomedical applications due to its flexibility in preparation, stabilization, surface modifications, less cytotoxicity, and ease of bio-detection. In the past few decades, gold-based nanomaterials rule cancer treatment applications, currently, gold nanostructures were the leading nanomaterials for synergetic cancer therapies. In this review article, the synthesis, stabilization, and optical properties of gold nanostructures have been discussed. Then, the surface modifications and targeting mechanisms of gold nanomaterials will be described. Recent signs of progress in the application of gold nanomaterials for synergetic cancer therapies such as photodynamic and photo-thermal therapies in combination with other common interventions such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and will be reviewed. Also, a summary of the pharmacokinetics of gold nanostructures will be delivered. Finally, the challenges and outlooks of the gold nanostructures in the clinics for applications in cancer treatments are debated.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-known remedial treatment for cancer, infections, and various other diseases. PDT uses nontoxic dyes called photosensitizers (PS) that are activated in visible light at the proper wavelength to generate ROS (reactive oxygen species) that aid in killing tumor cells and destroying pathogenic microbes. Deciding a suitable photosensitizer is essential for enhancing the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy. It is challenging to choose the photosensitizer that is appropriate for specific pathological circumstances, such as different cancer species. Porphyrin, chlorin, and bacteriochlorin are tetrapyrroles used with proper functionalization in PDT, among which some compound has been clinically approved. Most photosensitizers are hydrophobic, have minimum solubility, and exhibit cytotoxicity due to the dispersion in biological fluid. This paper reviewed some nanotechnology-based strategies to overcome these drawbacks. In PDT, metal nanoparticles are widely used due to their enhanced surface plasmon resonance. The self-assembled nano-drug carriers like polymeric micelles, liposomes, and metal-based nanoparticles play a significant role in solubilizing the photosensitizer to make them biocompatible.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticle (AuNPs)-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted increasing attention both in laboratory research and clinical applications. Due to its easily-tuned properties of irradiation light and inside-out hyperthermia ability, it has demonstrated clear advantages in cancer therapy over conventional thermal ablation. Despite this great advancement, the therapeutic efficacy of AuNPs mediated PTT in tumor treatment remains compromised by several obstacles, including low photothermal conversion efficiency, tissue penetration limitation of excitation light, and inherent non-specificity. In view of the rapid development of AuNPs mediated PTT, we present an in-depth review of major breakthroughs in the advanced development of gold nanomaterials for PTT, with emphasis on those from 2010 to date. In particular, the current state of knowledge for AuNPs based photothermal agents within a paradigm of key structure-optical property relationships is presented in order to provide guidance for the design of novel AuNP based photothermal agents to meet necessary functional requirements in specific applications. Furthermore, potential challenges and future development of AuNP mediated PTT are also elucidated for clinical translation. It is expected that AuNP mediated PTT will soon constitute a markedly promising avenue in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
As a common feature of the tumor microenvironment (TME), hypoxia significantly impedes the effects of photodynamic therapy. Moreover, for tumor combination therapy, smart responsive and well-designed nanocarriers are highlighted to co-deliver different therapeutics, enhance drug delivery into target sites, and realize stimuli-responsive drug release. Herein, oxygen- and bubble-generating polymersomes (FIMPs) were developed for tumor-targeted and enhanced photothermal-photodynamic combination therapy. FIMPs efficiently co-encapsulated manganese dioxide (MnO2) and the hydrophobic photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) within the hydrophobic membrane as well as the bubble-generating reagent NH4HCO3 in the internal cavity of the vesicles, and achieved pH/temperature/reduction multiple responsiveness. The CO2 bubbles generated from the decomposition of NH4HCO3via laser irradiation or acidic environment and the cleavage of the copolymer disulfide bond in the reducing TME would destroy the vesicle structure for triggering drug release. In addition, oxygen can be produced to overcome tumor hypoxia through the high reaction activity of MnO2 with endogenous H2O2. In vitro studies have shown that FIMPs achieved good photothermal conversion efficiency, promoted the generation of oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and thus effectively killed tumor cells. In vivo studies indicated that FIMPs effectively overcome the hypoxic microenvironment within tumors and significantly inhibit tumor growth with good biocompatibility. The rationally designed oxygen- and bubble-generating polymersomes have great potential to overcome the tumor hypoxia limitations for enhancing the photothermal-photodynamic combination therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Porphyrin derivatives are ubiquitous in nature and have important biological roles, such as in light harvesting, oxygen transport, and catalysis. Owing to their intrinsic π-conjugated structure, porphyrin derivatives exhibit characteristic photophysical and electrochemical properties. In biological systems, porphyrin derivatives are associated with various protein molecules through noncovalent interactions. For example, hemoglobin, which is responsible for oxygen transport in most vertebrates, consists of four subunits of a globular protein with an iron porphyrin derivative prosthetic group. Furthermore, noncovalently arranged porphyrin derivatives are the fundamental chromophores in light-harvesting systems for photosynthesis in plants and algae. These biologically important roles originate from the functional versatility of porphyrin derivatives. Specifically, porphyrins are excellent host compounds, forming coordination complexes with various metal ions that adds functionality to the porphyrin unit, such as redox activity and additional ligand binding at the central metal ion. In addition, porphyrins are useful building blocks for functional supramolecular assemblies because of their flat and symmetrical molecular architectures, and their excellent photophysical properties are typically utilized for the fabrication of bioactive functional materials. In this Account, we summarize our endeavors over the past decade to develop functional materials based on porphyrin derivatives using bioinspired approaches. In the first section, we discuss several synthetic receptors that act as artificial allosteric host systems and can be used for the selective detection of various chemicals, such as cyanide, chloride, and amino acids. In the second section, we introduce multiporphyrin arrays as mimics of natural light-harvesting complexes. The active control of energy transfer processes by additional guest binding and the fabrication of organic photovoltaic devices using porphyrin derivatives are also introduced. In the third section, we introduce several types of porphyrin-based supramolecular assemblies. Through noncovalent interactions such as metal-ligand interaction, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interaction, porphyrin derivatives were constructed as supramolecular polymers with formation of fiber or toroidal assembly. In the last section, the application of porphyrin derivatives for biomedical nanodevice fabrication is introduced. Even though porphyrins were good candidates as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, they have limitations for biomedical application owing to aggregation in aqueous media. We suggested ionic dendrimer porphyrins and they showed excellent photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy.

Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a very rare subtype of thyroid carcinoma and one of the most lethal malignancies. Poor prognosis is mainly associated with its undifferentiated nature, inoperability, and failing to respond to the typically used therapies for thyroid cancer. Photothermal Therapy (PTT) entails using light to increase tissues' temperature, leading to hyperthermia-mediated cell death. Tumours are more susceptible to heat as they are unable to dissipate it. By using functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that transform light energy into heat, it is possible to target the heat to the tumour. This study aims to formulate ATC-targeted AuNPs able to convert near-infrared light into heat, for PTT of ATC. Different AuNPs were synthetized and coated. Size, morphology, and surface plasmon resonances band were determined. The optimized coated-AuNPs were then functionalized with ligands to assess ATC's specificity. Safety, efficacy, and selectivity were assessed in vitro. The formulations were deemed safe when not irradiated (>70% cell viability) and selective for ATC. However, when irradiated, holo-transferrin-AuNPs were the most cytotoxic (22% of cell viability). The biodistribution and safety of this formulation was assessed in vivo. Overall, this novel formulation appears to be a highly promising approach to evaluate in a very near future.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is a fascinating field of multidisciplinary study focused on developing
techniques that fight various diseases using nanoparticles. Among the various nanoparticles
used in nanomedicine, dendrimers have received increasing interest in recent years because
of the versatility that their structural characteristics give them. Specifically, dendrimer
porphyrins are compounds that incorporate macro heterocyclic-aromatic units within the dendritic
architecture and exhibit interesting photodynamic properties that are used to combat
various diseases using non-invasive methods. In the past 17 years, few studies of the application
of dendrimer porphyrins in nanomedicine have been published. This review focuses on
presenting recent studies of dendrimer porphyrins with possible applications in the field of
nanomedicine.

Abstract
Organelle-targeting techniques have been proved to be promising approaches for enhanced cancer treatment, especially phototherapy, because it can greatly improve the efficiency of photosensitizers. In this work, we designed and synthesized a mitochondria-targeting diketopyrrolopyrrole-based photosensitizer (DPP2+) for synergistic photodynamic/photothermal therapy upon irradiation. The obtained mitochondria-targeting nanoparticles (DPP2+ NPs) could produce thermal energy and singlet oxygen under 635 nm laser irradiation with ideal cytocompatibility. Importantly, DPP2+ NPs are more likely to enter the cells and target mitochondria. In in vitro and in vivo antitumor experiments, DPP2+ NPs showed highly effective antitumor effects, suggesting that mitochondria-targeting photosensitizers have potential for cancer treatment. The present work provides an alternative strategy to mitochondria-targeting molecular engineering and highlights the potential of organic nanomaterials in biomedical fields and cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanocomposites of gold nanorods (Au NRs) with the cationic porphyrin TMPyP (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1- methyl 4-pyridinio)porphyrin tetra(p-toluenesulfonate)) were investigated as a nanocarrier system for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and fluorescence imaging. To confer biocompatibility and facilitate the cellular uptake, the NRs were encapsulated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) and efficiently loaded with the cationic porphyrin by electrostatic interaction. The nanocomposites were tested with and without light exposure following incubation in 2D monolayer cultures and a 3D compressed collagen construct of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The results showed that Au NRs enhance the absorption and emission intensity of TMPyP and improve its photodynamic efficiency and fluorescence imaging capability in both 2D cultures and 3D cancer constructs. Au NRs are promising theranostic agents for delivery of photosensitisers for HNSCC treatment and imaging.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2020; 206:111864.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials have increasingly gained the attention of the nano-, photo- and biomedical communities owing to their unique photophysical properties. Here, we facilely synthesized carbon quantum dots (CQDs) in a one-pot solvothermal reaction, and demonstrated their utility as photosensitizers for in vitro antibacterial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI). The bottom-up synthesis employed inexpensive and sustainable starting materials (citric acid), used ethanol as an environmentally-friendly solvent, was relatively energy efficient, produced minimal waste, and purification was accomplished simply by filtration. The CQDs were characterized by both physical (TEM, X-ray diffraction) and spectroscopic (UV-visible, fluorescence, and ATR-FTIR) methods, which together confirmed their nanoscale dimensions and photophysical properties. aPDI studies demonstrated detection limit inactivation (99.9999 + %) of Gram-negative Escherichia coli 8099 and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC-6538 upon visible light illumination (λ ≥ 420 nm, 65 ± 5 mW/cm2; 60 min). Post-illumination SEM images of the bacteria incubated with the CQDs showed perforated and fragmented cell membranes consistent with damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mechanistic studies revealed that the bacteria were inactivated by singlet oxygen, with no discernable roles for other ROS (e.g., superoxide or hydroxyl radicals). These findings demonstrated that CQDs can be facilely prepared, operate via a Type II mechanism, and are effective photosensitizers for in vitro aPDI.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a salient feature observed in most solid malignancies that holds a pivotal role in angiogenesis, metastasis and resistance to conventional cancer therapeutic approaches, and thus enables cancer progression. However, the typical characteristics of hypoxic cells such as low oxygen levels and highly bio-reductive environment can offer stimuli-responsive drug release to aid in tumor-specific chemo, radio, photodyanamic and sonodynamic therapies. This approach based on targeting the poorly oxygenated tumor habitats offers the prospective to overcome the difficulties that arises due to heterogenic nature of tumor and could be possibly used in the design of diagnostic as well as therapeutic nanocarriers for targeting various types of solid cancers. Consequently, hypoxia triggered nanoparticle based drug delivery systems is a rapidly progressing research area in developing effective strategies to combat drug-resistance in solid tumors. The present review presents the recent advances in the development of hypoxia-responsive nanovehicles for drug delivery to heterogeneous tumors. The initial sections of the article provides insights into the development of hypoxia in growing cancer and its role in disease progression. The current limitations and the future prospective of hypoxia-stimulated nanomachines for cancer treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
Due to the lack of early diagnosis, cancer remains as one of the leading cause of human mortality. Inability to translate research into clinical trials and also inability of chemotherapeutics delivery to targeted tumor sites are major drawbacks in cancer therapeutics. With the emergence of nanomedicine, several nanoprobes (conjugated with targeting ligands and chemotherapeutic drugs) are developed. It can interact with biological system and thus sense and monitor the biological events with high efficiency and accuracy along with therapy application. Nanoparticles like gold and iron oxide are frequently used in the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging applications, respectively. Moreover, enzymatic activity of gold and iron oxide nanoparticles enables the visible colorimetric diagnostic of cancer cells, whereas, fluorescence property of quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles helps in in vivo imaging application. Other than this, drug conjugation with nanoparticles also reduces the systemic toxic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. Due to their several unique intrinsic properties, nanoparticles itself can also be employed as therapeutics in cancer treatment by photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Thus, the main focus of this review is to emphasize on current progress in diagnostic and therapeutic application of nanoprobes in cancer.

Abstract
In this review we present an updated survey of the main synthesis methods of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in order to obtain various tailored nanosystems for biomedical imaging. The synthesis approach significantly impacts on the AuNPs properties such as surface chemistry, biocompatibility and cytotoxicity. In recent years, nanomedicine emphasized the development of functionalized AuNPs for biomedical imaging. AuNPs are a good option for used as delivery photosensitizer agents for PDT of cancer. For example, the complex formed from AuNPs functionalized with PEGylate porphyrins presents several advantages in the medical field such as a better use in photodynamic therapy because of high triplet states and singlet oxygen quantum yield efficiency of porphyrin molecules.

Abstract
Synergistic therapy of tumor has attracted the attention of an increasing number of researchers because of its higher efficiency compared to single therapy. Herein, 4-carboxyphenyl porphyrin-conjugated silica-coated gold nanorods (AuNR@SiO2-TCPP) were synthesized. The synergistic treatment of photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy on A549 cancer was researched in vivo and in vitro. In the AuNR@SiO2-TCPP, Au NRs and TCPP act as photothermal agent and photosensitizer, respectively. The temperature of the AuNR@SiO2-TCPP (0.11 nmol L-1) rises to 56.8 °C for 10 min under the illumination of 808 nm laser (2 Wcm-2). In MTT assays, the viability of A549 cancer cell treated with AuNR@SiO2-TCPP (100 μg ml-1) is only 21%. In animal experiments, the relative tumor volumes in mice receiving AuNR@SiO2-TCPP (5 mg kg-1) with 660 and 808 nm irradiations were significantly inhibited and the average value is decreased to 0.78 while the average value of the control group is increased to 7.2. These results demonstrate that the AuNR@SiO2-TCPP is a potential nanomedicine against tumor for clinical application in the near future.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancers is usually inefficient due to the relatively low level of oxygen in cancer cells; therefore, it needs to combine with other treatment strategies such as chemotherapy or photothermal therapy (PTT) to achieve the best anticancer efficacy. Although porphyrin-containing materials have been widely studied for PDT, the photothermal effect is rarely reported. Herein, nanoscale porphyrin-containing covalent organic polymers (PCOPs) were produced via a room temperature solution-based aging method. The resulting nanoparticles possess high photothermal conversion efficiency (21.7%) and excellent photodynamic effect. For the first time, the in vitro and in vivo tests indicated an enhanced antitumor efficacy for PCOP with combined PDT and PTT. This study provides an efficient approach to fabricate nanoCOP and also demonstrates the great potential of porphyrin-containing COP for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Improving the deep-tissue phototherapy (PDT) efficiency in the near-infrared (NIR) region has become one of the major challenges in clinics for cancer treatment. Developing intelligent photosensitizers (PSs) responding to tumor-specific signals sensitively to minimize side effects is another major challenge for tumor phototherapy. Herein, three phenyl-based boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) compounds with different numbers of diethylaminophenyl groups introduced onto the BODIPY core have been designed and synthesized by the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. The absorbance of these compounds (BDPmPh, BDPbiPh, and BDPtriPh) can be controlled easily for realizing the tunable penetration depth. Moreover, the diethylamino groups in these designed PSs can serve as proton acceptors triggered by the low pH in lysosomes which can enhance the efficacy of photodynamic and photothermal therapy. The corresponding nanoparticles (NPs) of the compounds are prepared through a nanoprecipitation method and in vitro studies demonstrate that the ultra-low drug dosage of BDPtriPh NPs (half-maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50 = 4.16 μM) is much lower than that of BDPmPh NPs (50.09 μM) and BDPbiPh NPs (22.4 μM). In vivo fluorescence imaging shows that these NPs can be passively targeted to tumors by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, and BDPtriPh NPs exhibit the fastest accumulation (about 4 hours). In vivo phototherapy indicates that BDPtriPh NPs with the longest NIR absorbance (813 nm) and highest photothermal conversion efficiency (60.5%) can effectively inhibit tumor growth and reduce side effects to normal tissues. This study provides a strategy to modulate the photoconversion characteristics of PSs for both penetration-depth-tunable and pH-dependent PDT/PTT synergistic cancer therapy in clinics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, a combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and heat to kill cancer cells, respectively has attracted considerable attention because it gives synergistic effects on the cancer treatment by utilizing the radiation of nontoxic low-energy photons such as long wavelength visible light and near IR (NIR) penetrating into subcutaneous region. For the effective combination of the phototherapies, various organic photosensitizer-conjugated gold nanocomplexes have been developed, but they have still some disadvantages due to photobleaching and unnecessary energy transfer of the organic photosensitizers. RESULTS In this study, we fabricated novel inorganic phototherapeutic nanocomplexes (Au NR-TiO2 NCs) by conjugating gold nanorods (Au NRs) with defective TiO2 nanoparticle clusters (d-TiO2 NP clusters) and characterized their optical and photothermal properties. They were observed to absorb a broad range of visible light and near IR (NIR) from 500 to 1000 nm, exhibiting the generation of ROS as well as the photothermal effect for the simultaneous application of PDT and PTT. The resultant combination of PDT and PTT treatments of HeLa cells incubated with the nanocomplexes caused a synergistic increase in the cell death compared to the single treatment. CONCLUSION The higher efficacy of cell death by the combination of PDT and PTT treatments with the nanocomplexes is likely attributed to the increases of ROS generation from the TiO2 NCs with the aid of local surface plasma resonance (LSPR)-induced hot electrons and heat generation from Au NRs, suggesting that Au NR-TiO2 NCs are promising nanomaterials for the in vivo combinatorial phototherapy of cancer.

Abstract
Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been considered to be a promising candidate for hyperthermia-based anticancer therapy. Herein, we introduce albumin-assisted AuNCs composed of small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs, <6 nm) assembled with strands of polyallylamine (PAH), which exhibited strong surface plasmon resonance upon near-infrared (NIR, ∼808 nm) laser irradiation and good in vivo stability. Our albumin-assisted PAH-AuNCs (BSA/PAH-AuNCs) were facilely fabricated as a top-down process by a simple ultrasonication after the preparation of large nano-aggregates of PAH-AuNPs. Albumin played a critical role as a stabilizer and surfactant in making loosely associated large aggregates and thereby producing small gold nanoclusters (∼60 nm) of slightly negative charge upon ultrasonication. The prepared BSA/PAH-AuNCs displayed excellent hyperthermal effects (∼60 °C) in response to ∼808-nm NIR laser irradiation in a 4T1 cell system in vitro and in 4T1 cell tumor xenograft mice in vivo, indicating their remarkable potential to suppress breast cancer growth, without almost no significant toxicity in histology. Consequently, our gold nanoclusters should be considered as a promising photothermal agent that are easy to manufacture and exhibit marked anticancer effects in terms of tumor ablation.

Abstract
W18O49-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are limited by the easily oxidized property and tumor hypoxia. Here, we report the development of platelet membranes as nanocarriers to co-load W18O49 nanoparticles (NPs) and metformin (PM-W18O49-Met NPs). Platelet membranes can protect W18O49 from oxidation and immune evasion, and increase the accumulation of W18O49 in tumor sites via the passive EPR effect and active adhesion between platelets and cancer cells. The introduction of metformin (Met), a typical anti-diabetic drug, can alleviate the tumor hypoxia through reducing oxygen consumption. As a result, ROS and heat generation are both greatly increased, as revealed by ROS/hypoxia imaging in vitro, IR thermal imaging in vivo and PET imaging in vivo. PM-W18O49-Met NPs show the improved therapeutic effects with greatly inhibited tumor growth and induced tumor cell apoptosis. Therefore, our work provides a novel strategy for simultaneous enhanced PDT and PTT, which is promising in bioapplication. STATEMENTE OF SIGNIFICANCE: W18O49-mediated photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy are limited by the poor delivery of nanoparticles to tumors, the easily oxidized property, and tumor hypoxia environment, which will induce tumor treatment failure. Herein, we report the development of platelet membranes as nanocarriers to co-load W18O49 nanoparticles and metformin (PM-W18O49-Met NPs). Platelet membranes can protect W18O49 from oxidation and immune evasion, and increase the accumulation of W18O49 in tumor sites via the passive EPR effect and active adhesion. Metformin can alleviate the tumor hypoxia through reducing oxygen consumption. Hence, ROS and heat generation are both greatly increased. PM-W18O49-Met NPs show the improved therapeutic effects with greatly inhibited tumor growth and induced apoptosis. Therefore, our work provides a novel strategy in bioapplication.

Abstract
In the field of tissue engineering, conductive hydrogels have been the most effective biomaterials to mimic the biological and electrical properties of tissues in the human body. The main advantages of conductive hydrogels include not only their physical properties but also their adequate electrical properties, which provide electrical signals to cells efficiently. However, when introducing a conductive material into a non-conductive hydrogel, a conflicting relationship between the electrical and mechanical properties may develop. This review examines the strengths and weaknesses of the generation of conductive hydrogels using various conductive materials such as metal nanoparticles, carbons, and conductive polymers. The fabrication method of blending, coating, and in situ polymerization is also added. Furthermore, the applications of conductive hydrogel in cardiac tissue engineering, nerve tissue engineering, and bone tissue engineering and skin regeneration are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Phototheranostics, which simultaneously combines photodynamic and/or photothermal therapy with deep-tissue diagnostic imaging, is a promising strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Organic dyes with the merits of strong near-infrared absorbance, high photo-to-radical and/or photothermal conversion efficiency, great biocompatibility, ready chemical structure fine-tuning capability, and easy metabolism, have been demonstrated as attractive candidates for clinical phototheranostics. These organic dyes can be further designed and fabricated into nanoparticles (NPs) using various strategies. Compared to free molecules, these NPs can be equipped with multiple synergistic functions and show longer lifetime in blood circulation and passive tumor-targeting property via the enhanced permeability and retention effect. In this article, the recent progress of organic dye-based NPs for cancer phototheranostic applications is summarized, which extends the anticancer arsenal and holds promise for clinical uses in the near future.

Abstract
The use of visible light to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) from renewable water splitting is a highly promising means in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Up to date, diverse inorganic-organic hybrid materials developed as photosensitizers still undergo low therapeutic efficiency and/or poor stability. Herein, a kind of carbon-nanodot-decorated TiO2 nanotubes (CDots/TiO2 NTs) composite is developed and applied for photodynamic therapy. Upon 650 nm laser light excitation, the emissions with short wavelengths (325-425 nm) from the CDots as a result of upconversion process excite TiO2 NTs to form electron/hole (e- /h+ ) pairs, triggering the reaction with the adsorbed oxidants to produce ROS. Moreover, the CDots deposited on the surface of TiO2 NTs markedly enhance the light absorption response and narrow the band gap compared with anatase TiO2 nanoparticles, thereby increasing the photosensitizing efficiency. Besides, the CDots show high chemical catalytic activity for H2 O2 decomposition even if no light is needed, which is essential for PDT. The excellent therapeutic performance actuated by 650 nm light is demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo assays. This photosensitizer comprises low-cost, earth-abundant, environment-friendly merits, and especially excellent stability, implying its feasible application in biomedical field.

Abstract
Imaging-guided diagnosis and therapy has been highlighted in the area of nanomedicines. However, integrating multiple functions with high performance in one theranostic ("all-in-one") still presents considerable challenges. Here, "all-in-one" nanoparticles with drug-loading capacity, catalase-mimetic activity, photoacoustic (PA) imaging ability and photothermal properties were prepared by decorating Au nanoparticles on doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) vehicle. The results revealed that the as-prepared Au-PLGA hybrid nanoparticles possessed high photothermal conversion efficiency of up to approximately 69.0%, meanwhile their strong acoustic generation endowed them with efficient PA signal sensing for cancer diagnosis. On an 808 nm laser irradiation, the O2 generation, DOX release profile and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level were all improved, which were beneficial to relieving tumor hypoxia and enhanced the cancer chemo/PTT combined therapy. Overall, the multifunctional Au-PLGA hybrid nanoparticles with these integrated advantages shows promise in PA imaging-guided diagnosis and synergistic tumor ablation.

Abstract
Sensitivity and reproducibility are two major concerns to improve the performance and extend the range of practical applications of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). A theoretical report reveals that hot spots formed by gold nanoparticles with a tip-to-tip configuration would generate the maximum electric field enhancement because of the lightning rod effect. In our present study, we constructed a giant vesicle consisting of anchored tiny gold nanowires to provide a high density of sharp tip-to-tip nanogaps for SERS application. The tiny gold nanowires were directly grown and anchored onto the surfaces of polystyrene (PS) microspheres by a seed-mediated method. Then, the removal of PS microspheres by tetrahydrofuran led to the formation of the giant gold vesicles with hierarchical cage structures, providing the sharp tips and high density of hot spots for improving SERS performance. Compared with the nonwire structure (island and inhibited nanoparticle), giant gold vesicles with tiny wires showed a higher SERS enhancement factor (9.90 × 107) and quantitative SERS analysis in the range of 10-4 to 10-7 M. In addition, the large-scale giant gold vesicle array on the silica substrate resulted in a high reproducibility of SERS signals with the variation of intensities less than 7.6%.

[PMID: 28776627 PMCID: PMC5544355 DOI: 10.1117/1.jbo.22.8.080901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2017] [Accepted: 06/23/2017] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) involves the application of normally benign light wavelengths in combination with efficient photothermal (PT) agents that convert the absorbed light to heat to ablate selected cancers. The major challenge in PTT is the ability to confine heating and thus direct cellular death to precisely where PT agents are located. The dominant strategy in the field has been to create large libraries of PT agents with increased absorption capabilities and to enhance their delivery and accumulation to achieve sufficiently high concentrations in the tissue targets of interest. While the challenge of material confinement is important for achieving “heat and lethality confinement,” this review article suggests another key prospective strategy to make this goal a reality. In this approach, equal emphasis is placed on selecting parameters of light exposure, including wavelength, duration, power density, and total power supplied, based on the intrinsic properties and geometry of tissue targets that influence heat dissipation, to truly achieve heat confinement. This review highlights significant milestones researchers have achieved, as well as examples that suggest future research directions, in this promising technique, as it becomes more relevant in clinical cancer therapy and other noncancer applications.

Abstract
Elaborately designed biocompatible nanoplatforms simultaneously achieving multimodal bioimaging and therapeutic functions are highly desirable for modern biomedical applications. Herein, uniform MoS2 nanoflowers with a broad size range of 80-180 nm have been synthesized through a facile, controllable, and scalable hydrothermal method. The strong absorbance of MoS2 nanoflowers at 808 nm imparts them with high efficiency and stability of photothermal conversion. Then a novel multifunctional composite of MoS2@Fe3O4-ICG/Pt(IV) (labeled as Mo@Fe-ICG/Pt) is designed by covalently grafting Fe3O4 nanoparticles with polyethylenimine (PEI) functionalized MoS2, and then loading indocyanine green molecules (ICG, photosensitizers) and platinum (IV) prodrugs (labeled as Pt(IV) prodrugs) on the surface of MoS2@Fe3O4. The resulting Mo@Fe-ICG/Pt nanocomposites can achieve excellent magnetic resonance/infrared thermal/photoacoustic trimodal biomaging as well as remarkably enhanced antitumor efficacy of combined photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemotherapy triggered by a single 808 nm NIR laser, thus leading to an ideal nanoplatform for cancer diagnosis and treatment in future.

Abstract
Aim: To develop a nanoparticle-based platform using polypyrrole and IR-780 for effective combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy. Materials & methods: IR-780 was loaded in a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) core, decorated with polypyrrole shells and hyaluronic acid (IPPH). Physicochemical properties and in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects of these nanoparticles were evaluated. Results: The resulting IPPHs were spherical, small and negatively charged. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, the IPPHs generated reactive oxygen species and heat and synergistically improved therapeutic efficacy. The antitumor effects were confirmed by in vitro cellular reactive oxygen species detection and cytotoxicity assays, and in vivo in a xenograft tumor model, with no damage to body organs. Conclusion: Our results indicate the potential of applying IPPH in oncology nanomedicine.

Abstract
Phototherapy shows some unique advantages in clinical application, such as remote controllability, improved selectivity, and low bio-toxicity, than chemotherapy. In order to improve the safety and therapeutic efficacy, imaging-guided therapy seems particularly important because it integrates visible information to speculate the distribution and metabolism of the probe. Here we prepare biocompatible core-shell nanocomposites for dual-modality imaging-guided photothermal and photodynamic dual-therapy by the in situ growth of porphyrin-metal organic framework (PMOF) on Fe3O4@C core. Fe3O4@C core was used as T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) agent. The optical properties of porphyrin were well remained in PMOF, and PMOF was therefore selected for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and fluorescence imaging. Fluorescence and MR dual-modality imaging-guided PTT and PDT dual-therapy was confirmed with tumour-bearing mice as model. The high tumour accumulation of Fe3O4@C@PMOF and controllable light excitation at the tumour site achieved efficient cancer therapy, but low toxicity was observed to the normal tissues. The results demonstrated that Fe3O4@C@PMOF was a promising dual-imaging guided PTT and PDT dual-therapy platform for tumour diagnosis and treatment with low cytotoxicity and negligible in vivo toxicity.

Abstract
Herein, a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) structured small molecule (DPP-TPA) is designed and synthesized for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided photodynamic/photothermal synergistic therapy. In the diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) molecule, a thiophene group is contained to increase the intersystem crossing (ISC) ability through the heavy atom effect. Simultaneously, triphenylamine (TPA) is introduced for bathochromic shift absorption as well as charge transport capacity enhancement. After formation of nanoparticles (NPs, ∼76 nm) by reprecipitation, the absorption of DPP-TPA NPs further displays obvious bathochromic-shift with the maximum absorption peak at 660 nm. What's more, the NPs architecture enhances the D-A-D structure, which greatly increases the charge transport capacity and impels the charge to generate heat by light. DPP-TPA NPs present high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 34.5%) and excellent singlet oxygen (1O2) generation (ΦΔ = 33.6%) under 660 nm laser irradiation. PAI, with high spatial resolution and deep biotissue penetration, indicates DPP-TPA NPs can rapidly target the tumor sites within 2 h by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Importantly, DPP-TPA NPs could effectively hinder the tumor growth by photodynamic/photothermal synergistic therapy in vivo even at a low dosage (0.2 mg/kg) upon laser irradiation (660 nm 1.0 W/cm2). This study illuminates the photothermal conversion mechanism of small organic NPs and demonstrates the promising application of DPP-TPA NPs in PAI guided phototherapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional theranostic platform coupling diagnostic and therapeutic functions holds great promise for personalized nanomedicine. Nevertheless, integrating consistently high performance in one single agent is still challenging. This work synthesized a sort of porphyrin derivatives (P) with high singlet oxygen generation ability and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) possessing good fluorescence properties. The P was conjugated to polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated and aptamer-functionalized GQDs to gain a multifunctional theranostic agent (GQD-PEG-P). The resulting GQD-PEG-P displayed good physiological stability, excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity. The intrinsic fluorescence of the GQDs could be used to discriminate cancer cells from somatic cells, whereas the large surface facilitated gene delivery for intracellular cancer-related microRNA (miRNA) detection. Importantly, it displayed a photothermal conversion efficiency of 28.58% and a high quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation up to 1.08, which enabled it to accomplish advanced photothermal therapy (PTT) and efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment. The combined PTT/PDT synergic therapy led to an outstanding therapeutic efficiency for cancer cell treatment.
