Abstract
In an attempt to optimize the upconversion luminescence (UCL) output of a Nd3+-sensitized near-infrared (808 nm) upconverting core-shell (CS) nanocrystal through deliberate incorporation of lattice defects, a comprehensive analysis of microstrain both at the CS interface and within the core layer was performed using integral breadth calculation of high-energy synchrotron X-ray (λ = 0.568551 Å) diffraction. An atomic level interpretation of such microstrain was performed using pair distribution function analysis of the high-energy total scattering. The core NC developed compressive microstrain, which gradually transformed into tensile microstrain with the growth of the epitaxial shell. Such a reversal was rationalized in terms of a consistent negative lattice mismatch. Upon introduction of lattice defects into the CS systems upon incorporation of Li+, the corresponding UCL intensity was maximized at some specific Li+ incorporation, where the tensile microstrain of CS, compressive microstrain of the core, and atomic level disorders exhibited their respective extreme values irrespective of the activator ions.

Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate that a photo-cross-linkable conjugate of upconverting nanoparticles and cytosine deaminase can catalyze prodrug conversion specifically at tumor sites in vivo. Non-covalent association of proteins and peptides with cellular surfaces leads to receptor-mediated endocytosis and catabolic degradation. Recently, we showed that covalent attachment of proteins such as affibodies to cell receptors yields extended expression on cell surfaces with preservation of protein function. To adapt this technology for in vivo applications, conjugates were prepared from upconverting nanoparticles and fusion proteins of affibody and cytosine deaminase enzyme (UC-ACD). The affibody allows covalent photo-cross-linking to epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs) overexpressed on Caco-2 human colorectal cancer cells under near-infrared (NIR) light. Once bound, the cytosine deaminase portion of the fusion protein converts the prodrug 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) to the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). NIR covalent photoconjugation of UC-ACD to Caco-2 cells showed 4-fold higher retention than observed with cells that were not irradiated in vitro. Next, athymic mice expressing Caco-2 tumors showed 5-fold greater UC-ACD accumulation in the tumors than either conjugates without the CD enzyme or UC-ACDs in the absence of NIR excitation. With oral administration of 5-FC prodrug, tumors with photoconjugated UC-ACD yielded 2-fold slower growth than control groups, and median mouse survival increased from 28 days to 35 days. These experiments demonstrate that enzyme-decorated nanoparticles can remain viable after a single covalent photoconjugation in vivo, which can in turn localize prodrug conversion to tumor sites for multiple weeks.

Abstract
Rare-earth doped multi-shell nanoparticles slated for theranostic applications produce a variety of emission bands upon near-infrared (NIR) excitation. Their downshifting emission is useful for high-contrast NIR imaging, while the upconversion light can induce photodynamic therapy (PDT). Unfortunately, integration of imaging and therapy is challenging. These modalities are better to be controlled independently so that, with the help of imaging, selective delivery of a theranostic agent at the site of interest could be ensured prior to on-demand PDT initiation. We introduce here multi-shell rare-earth doped nanoparticles (RENPs) arranged in a manner to produce only downshifting emission for NIR imaging when excited at one NIR wavelength and upconversion emission for therapeutic action by using a different excitation wavelength. In this work, multi-shell RENPs with a surface-bound sensitizer have been synthesized for decoupled 1550 nm downshifting emission upon 800 nm excitation and 550 nm upconversion emission caused by 980 nm irradiation. The independently controlled emission bands allow for high-contrast NIR imaging in NIR-IIb of optical transparency that gives high-contrast images due to significantly reduced light scattering. This can be conducted prior to PDT using 980 nm to produce upconverted light at 550 nm that excites the RENP surface-bound photosensitizer, Rose Bengal (RB), to effect photodynamic therapy with high specificity and safer theranostics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-established treatment of cancer that uses the toxic reactive oxygen species, including singlet oxygen (1O2), generated by photosensitiser drugs following irradiation of a specific wavelength to destroy the cancerous cells and tumours. Visible light is commonly used as the excitation source in PDT, which is not ideal for cancer treatment due to its reduced tissue penetration, and thus inefficiency to treat deep-lying tumours. Additionally, these wavelengths exhibit elevated autofluorescence background from the biological tissues which hinders optical biomedical imaging. An alternative to UV-Vis irradiation is the use of near infrared (NIR) excitation for PDT. This can be achieved using upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) functionalised with photosensitiser (PS) drugs where UCNPs can be used as an indirect excitation source for the activation of PS drugs yielding to the production of singlet 1O2 following NIR excitation. The use of nanoparticles for PDT is also beneficial due to their tumour targeting capability, either passively via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect or actively via stimuli-responsive targeting and ligand-mediated targeting (ie. using recognition units that can bind specific receptors only present or overexpressed on tumour cells). Here, we review recent advances in NIR upconverting nanomaterials for PDT of cancer with a clear distinction between those reported nanoparticles that could potentially target the tumour due to accumulation via the EPR effect (passive targeting) and nanoparticle-based systems that contain targeting agents with the aim of actively target the tumour via a molecular recognition process.

Abstract
Modern-day search for the novel agents (their preparation and consequent implementation) to effectively treat the cancer is mainly fuelled by the historical failure of the conventional treatment modalities. Apart from that, the complexities such as higher rate of cell mutations, variable tumor microenvironment, patient-specific disparities, and the evolving nature of cancers have made this search much stronger in the latest times. As a result of this, in about two decades, the theranostic nanoparticles (TNPs) - i.e., nanoparticles that integrate therapeutic and diagnostic characteristics - have been developed. The examples for TNPs include mesoporous silica nanoparticles, luminescence nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles, and magnetic nanoparticles. These TNPs have emerged as single and powerful cancer-treating multifunctional nanoplatforms, as they widely provide the necessary functionalities to overcome the previous/conventional limitations including lack of the site-specific delivery of anti-cancer drugs, and real-time continuous monitoring of the target cancer sites while performing therapeutic actions. This has been mainly possible due to the association of the as-developed TNPs with the already-available unique diagnostic (e.g., luminescence, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging) and therapeutic (e.g., photothermal, photodynamic, hyperthermia therapy) modalities in the biomedical field. In this review, we have discussed in detail about the recent developments on the aforementioned important TNPs without/with targeting ability (i.e., attaching them with ligands or tumor-specific antibodies) and also the strategies that are implemented to increase their tumor accumulation and to enhance their theranostic efficacies for effective biomedical cancer treatments.

Abstract
A synergetic phototheranostic system, combining diagnostic photo-imaging and phototherapies [such as photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT)], shows great potential in today's tumor precise therapy. Herein, we fabricate near-infrared (NIR) light-harvesting fullerene-based nanoparticles (DAF NPs) for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided synergetic tumor photothermal and PDT. The fullerene derivatives (DAF) absorbing in the NIR region have been synthesized by conjugating NIR-absorbing antenna with fullerene. In addition, DAF NPs with good biocompatibility have been fabricated via a nanoprecipitation approach. The as-prepared DAF NPs can accumulate and generate PA signals around the tumor site 6 h post injection via enhanced permeability and retention effect in vivo. More importantly, the DAF NPs exhibit better reactive oxygen species and heat generation efficacy compared with fullerene and antenna nanoparticles (DA NPs), respectively. Further in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that DAF NPs can effectively inhibit tumor growth through synergetic photodynamic and photothermal therapies, which provides a new sight of photosensitizer design for enhanced cancer phototheranostics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are emerging modalities for the treatment of tumors and nonmalignant conditions, based on the use of photosensitizers to generate singlet oxygen or heat, respectively, upon light (laser) irradiation. They have potential advantages over conventional treatments, being minimally invasive with precise spatial-temporal selectivity and reduced side effects. However, most clinically employed PDT agents are activated at visible (vis) wavelengths for which the tissue penetration and, hence, effective treatment depth are compromised. In addition, the lipophilicity of near-infrared (NIR) photothermal agents limits their use and efficiency. To achieve combined PDT/PTT effects, both excitation wavelengths need to be tuned into the NIR spectral window of biological tissues. This paper reports the synthesis of neodymium-doped upconversion nanoparticles (NaYF4 :Yb,Er,Nd@NaYF4 :Nd) that convert 800 nm light into vis wavelengths, which can then activate conventional photosensitizers on the nanoparticle surface for PDT. Covalently bonded IR-780 dyes can readily be activated by 800 nm laser irradiation. The PEGylated nanoplatform exhibited a narrow size distribution, good stability and efficient generation of singlet oxygen under laser irradiation. The in vitro photocytotoxicity of this engineered nanoplatform as either a PDT or PTT agent in HeLa cells is demonstrated, while fluorescence microscopy in nanoplatform-incubated cells highlights its potential for bioimaging.

Abstract
To promote practical applications of photodynamic therapy, near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizers are manufactured based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between donors of anti-stoke NIR upconversion nanoparticles and acceptors of photodynamic chlorin e6. The manufactured FRET constructs displayed deep tissue penetration and FRET activation under 980 nm irradiation. Furthermore, surface decoration with mitochondria-targeting (4-marboxybutyl) triphenyl phosphonium bromide (TPP) led to mitochondrion-targeted accumulation of singlet oxygen resulting in potent cell apoptosis. Notably, in vivo anti-tumor test validates the complete ablation of intractable solid tumors based on single-dose treatment of our proposed photodynamic constructs. Therefore, the obtained results herald the tempting perspective of our carefully engineered photodynamic constructs, which could have broad utilities in clinical treatment of intractable premalignancies.

Abstract
The right choice of a fluorescent probe is essential for successful luminescence imaging and sensing and especially concerning in vivo and in vitro applications, the development of new classes have gained more and more attention in the last years. One of the most promising class are upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-inorganic nanocrystals capable to convert near-infrared light in high energy radiation. In this review we will compare UCNPs with other fluorescent probes in terms of (a) the optical properties of the probes, such as their brightness, photostability and excitation wavelength; (b) their chemical properties such as the dispersibility, stability under experimental or physiological conditions, availability of chemical modification strategies for labelling; and (c) the potential toxicity and biocompatibility of the probe. Thereby we want to provide a better understanding of the advantages and drawbacks of UCNPs and address future challenges in the design of the nanocrystals.

Abstract
The property of upconverting nanoparticles to convert the low-energy near-infrared (NIR) light into high-energy visible light has made them a potential candidate for various biomedical applications including photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we show how a surface functionalization approach on the nanoparticle can be used to develop a nanocomposite hydrogel which can be of potential use for the PDT application. The upconverting hydrogel nanocomposite was synthesized by reacting 10-undecenoic acid-capped Yb3+/Er3+-doped NaYF4 nanoparticles with the thermosensitive N-isopropylacrylamide monomer. The formation of hydrogel was completed within 15 min and hydrogel nanocomposites showed strong enhancement in the visible light emission compared to the emission obtained from 10-undecenoic acid-capped Yb3+/Er3+-doped NaYF4 nanoparticles via the upconversion process (under 980 nm laser excitation). The upconverting hydrogel nanocomposites displayed high swelling behavior in water because of their porous nature. The porous structure ensured a higher loading of methylene blue dye (∼78% in 1 h) into the upconverting hydrogel, which was achieved via the swelling diffusion phenomenon. Upon excitation with the NIR light, the visible light emitted from the hydrogel activated the photosensitizer methylene blue which generated reactive oxygen species. Our results were able to show that the methylene blue-loaded composite hydrogel can be a potential platform for the future of NIR-triggered PDT in skin cancer treatment.

Abstract
Phototherapy with the properties of specific spatial/temporal selectivity and minimal invasiveness has been acknowledged as one of the most promising cancer therapy types. Among all the photoactive substance for phototherapy, titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) nanomaterials are paid more and more attention due to their outstanding photocatalytic properties, prominent biocompatibility, and excellent chemical stability. However, the wide bandgap (3.0-3.2 eV) of TiO2 limits its absorption only to the ultraviolet (UV) light region. For a long time, UV light-stimulated TiO2 was applied in the phototherapy researches of tumors located in the skin layer, while it is unsatisfactory for most deep-tissue tumors. Due to the maximum penetration into tissue existing in the near-infrared (NIR) region, how to use NIR light to trigger photochemical reaction of TiO2 remains a big challenge. In this review, two strategies to develop and construct NIR-triggered TiO2 -based nanocomposites (NCs) for phototherapy are summarized, and the relevant mechanism and background knowledge of TiO2 -based phototherapy are also given in order to better understand the application value and current situation of TiO2 in phototherapy. Finally, the challenges and research directions of TiO2 in the future clinic phototherapy application are also discussed.

Abstract
Hybrid systems have great potential for a wide range of applications in chemistry, physics and materials science. Conjugation of a biosystem to a molecular material can tune the properties of the components or give rise to new properties. As a workhorse, here we take a C60@lysozyme hybrid. We show that lysozyme recognizes and disperses fullerene in water. AFM, cryo-TEM and high resolution X-ray powder diffraction show that the C60 dispersion is monomolecular. The adduct is biocompatible, stable in physiological and technologically-relevant environments, and easy to store. Hybridization with lysozyme preserves the electrochemical properties of C60. EPR spin-trapping experiments show that the C60@lysozyme hybrid produces ROS following both type I and type II mechanisms. Due to the shielding effect of proteins, the adduct generates significant amounts of 1O2 also in aqueous solution. In the case of type I mechanism, the protein residues provide electrons and the hybrid does not require addition of external electron donors. The preparation process and the properties of C60@lysozyme are general and can be expected to be similar to other C60@protein systems. It is envisaged that the properties of the C60@protein hybrids will pave the way for a host of applications in nanomedicine, nanotechnology, and photocatalysis.

Abstract
Complete tumor removal during surgery has a great impact on patient survival. To that end, the surgeon should detect the tumor, remove it and validate that there are no residual cancer cells left behind. Residual cells at the incision margin of the tissue removed during surgery are associated with tumor recurrence and poor prognosis for the patient. In order to remove the tumor tissue completely with minimal collateral damage to healthy tissue, there is a need for diagnostic tools that will differentiate between the tumor and its normal surroundings. Methods: We designed, synthesized and characterized three novel polymeric Turn-ON probes that will be activated at the tumor site by cysteine cathepsins that are highly expressed in multiple tumor types. Utilizing orthotopic breast cancer and melanoma models, which spontaneously metastasize to the brain, we studied the kinetics of our polymeric Turn-ON nano-probes. Results: To date, numerous low molecular weight cathepsin-sensitive substrates have been reported, however, most of them suffer from rapid clearance and reduced signal shortly after administration. Here, we show an improved tumor-to-background ratio upon activation of our Turn-ON probes by cathepsins. The signal obtained from the tumor was stable and delineated the tumor boundaries during the whole surgical procedure, enabling accurate resection. Conclusions: Our findings show that the control groups of tumor-bearing mice, which underwent either standard surgery under white light only or under the fluorescence guidance of the commercially-available imaging agents ProSense® 680 or 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), survived for less time and suffered from tumor recurrence earlier than the group that underwent image-guided surgery (IGS) using our Turn-ON probes. Our "smart" polymeric probes can potentially assist surgeons' decision in real-time during surgery regarding the tumor margins needed to be removed, leading to improved patient outcome.

Abstract
To perform photothermal therapy (PTT) and luminescence imaging by a single wavelength NIR light irradiation, we have designed and prepared a novel nanocomposite incorporating the IR806 photothermal sensitizers (PTS) into the core-shell-shell NaYF4:Yb,Er@ NaYF4:Yb@NaYF4:Yb,Nd up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). Irradiation with the 793 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser, the Nd3+ ions in the UCNPs were sensitized to up-convert energy via Yb3+ to the Er3+ ions to emit visible light at 540 nm and 654 nm, as well as to down-convert energy to the Yb3+ ions to emit NIR light at 980 nm. For luminescence imaging, the 793 nm NIR radiation is more suitable to use for deeper-tissue penetration and to reduce overheating problem due to water absorption as compared to 980 nm radiation. Additionally, the same 793 nm NIR radiation could also excite the IR806 dye for effective PTT. Surface modifications of the UCNPs with mesoporous silica (mSiO2) and polyallylamine (PAH) allow stable loading of IR806 dye and further derivatization with polyethylene glycol-folic acid (PEG-FA) for tumor targeting. Preliminary in vitro studies demonstrated that the final UCNP@mSiO2/IR806@PAH-PEG-FA nanocomposites (UCNC-FAs) could be uptaken by the MDA-MB-231 cancer cells and were “dark” viable, and when irradiated with the 793 nm laser, the MDA-MB-231 cell viability was effectively reduced. This indicated that the UCNC-FAs nanocomposites could be potentially useful for targeted photothermal therapy and up-conversion luminescence imaging by a single wavelength NIR light irradiation.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a minimally invasive tumor treatment technology, and is regarded as a potential anticancer strategy because of its targeted destruction and low toxicity. Specifically, near-infrared light-induced PTT has attracted intriguing interest because of the high transparency of tissue, blood, and water. However, effective PTT generally requires the assistance of photothermal agents. Gold nanorods (GNRs) and conducting polymer are often used as photothermal materials because of their high absorption efficiency and photothermal conversion efficiency. Herein, we combined GNRs with poly( o-methoxyaniline) (POMA, a polyaniline derivative) to form GNRs/POMA core/shell hybrids through the surfactant-assisted chemical oxidative polymerization route and studied their photothermal conversion properties. The configuration of GNRs/POMA core/shell hybrids has been precisely controlled through adjusting the monomer concentration, and the relationship between morphology and absorption band of GNRs/POMA core/shell hybrids has been revealed. Finally, the in vitro and in vivo experiments were performed, and the results indicated that the GNRs/POMA core/shell hybrids with optimized absorbance at around 808 nm exhibited the best performance on photothermal therapy under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation.

Abstract
The importance of medical imaging in the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer cannot be overstated. As personalized cancer treatments are gaining popularity, a need for more advanced imaging techniques has grown significantly. Nanoparticles are uniquely suited to fill this void, not only as imaging contrast agents but also as companion diagnostics. This review provides an overview of many ways nanoparticle imaging agents have contributed to cancer imaging, both preclinically and in the clinic, as well as charting future directions in companion diagnostics. We conclude that, while nanoparticle-based imaging agents are not without considerable scientific and developmental challenges, they enable enhanced imaging in nearly every modality, hold potential as in vivo companion diagnostics, and offer precise cancer treatment and maximize intervention efficacy.

Abstract
The worldwide increase in bacterial antibiotic resistance has led to a search for alternative antibacterial therapies. The present study reports the development of yolk-structured multifunctional up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) that combine photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy for effective killing of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) were achieved by enclosing hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) into its yolk-structured up-conversion core and covalently linked rose bengal (RB) on its silica (SiO2) shell. Excitation of UCNPs with near-infrared (NIR) light that has improved penetration depth for photodynamic therapy (PDT) enabled the activation of HMME and RB and thus the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2). The SiO2 layer, which improved the biocompatibility of the UCNPs, surrounded the yolk structure, with a cavity space which had a high efficiency of loading photosensitizers. Synergistic PDT and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) improved the photosensitizer utilization rate. As a result, a greater inhibition rate was observed when antibiotic-resistant bacteria were treated with a combined therapy (100%) compared with either the PDT (74.2%) or SDT (70%) alone. Our data indicate that the multifunctional NPs developed in this study have the potential for use in the clinical synergistic PDT-SDT treatment of infectious diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Nowadays, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is under the research spotlight as an appealing modality for various malignant tumors. Compared with conventional PDT treatment activated by ultraviolet or visible light, near infrared (NIR) light-triggered PDT possessing deeper penetration to lesion area and lower photodamage to normal tissue holds great potential for in vivo deep-seated tumor. In this review, recent research progress related to the exploration of NIR light responsive PDT nanosystems is summarized. To address current obstacles of PDT treatment and facilitate the effective utilization, several innovative strategies are developed and introduced into PDT nanosystems, including the conjugation with targeted moieties, O2 self-sufficient PDT, dual photosensitizers (PSs)-loaded PDT nanoplatform, and PDT-involved synergistic therapy. Finally, the potential challenges as well as the prospective for further development are also discussed.

In the field of photodynamic therapy (PDT), this targeting advantage of NPs could help ensure drug delivery at specific sites. Among the commonly reported NPs for PDT applications, NPs from zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and fullerene are commonly reported. In addition, graphene has also been reported to be used as NPs albeit being relatively new to this field. In this context, the present review is organized by these different NPs and contains numerous research works related to PDT applications. The effectiveness of these NPs for PDT is discussed in detail by collecting all essential information described in the literature. The information thus assembled could be useful in designing new NPs specific for PDT and/or PTT applications in the future.

Abstract
Recently introduced upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have pushed the depth of photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment to the centimetre range by converting deeply-penetrating near-infrared (NIR) radiation to visible radiation for photoexcitation of PDT drugs. Here we demonstrate that the direct exposure of the cancer tissue to phototoxic ultraviolet radiation generated by NIR-photoexcited UCNPs enabled successful PDT. To this aim, core/shell UCNPs of the formula NaYF4:Yb3+Tm3+/NaYF4 featuring an enhanced band in the ultraviolet UV-A and UV-B spectral bands were rationally designed and synthesised. Coupling UCNPs to the recombinant modules of the Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein (DARPin) fused to a fluorescent protein mCherry allowed the target delivery of DARPin-mCherry/UCNP to human breast adenocarcinoma SK-BR-3 cells overexpressing HER2/neu receptors, as confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. DARPin-mCherry/UCNPs were demonstrated to be phototoxic to SK-BR-3 cells under 975 nm laser irradiation at a dose of 900 J cm-2 due to the UV photoexcitation of endogenous photosensitizers and concomitant generation of reactive oxygen species. The Lewis lung cancer mouse model was employed to demonstrate the feasibility of PDT using UCNP-mediated UV excitation of endogenous photosensitizers in the tumor tissue at a NIR dose of 1200 J cm-2. This study paves the way for exploring and harnessing UV photoexcitation processes in deep tissues in vivo.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles have been intensively studied for the development of contrast agents in MRI. First-generation SPIO nanoparticles had diagnostic capabilities only, whereas a new generation of SPIO nanoparticle has multifunctional characteristics for combined therapeutic and diagnostic applications. These theranostic nanoparticles hold great potential for image-guided cancer therapies. In particular, polymer-coated theranostic SPIO nanoparticles have enjoyed increasing attention as a result of good biocompatibility, biodegradability and versatile functionality endowed by polymeric matrices. This review provides an overview of recently developed polymer-coated multifunctional SPIO nanoparticles for cancer theranostics and discusses current challenges and future perspectives.

Abstract
Biscyclometalated IrIII complexes involving boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based ancillary ligands, where the BODIPY unit is grafted to different chelating cores (acetylacetonate for Ir-1 and Ir-2, and bipyridine for Ir-3) by the BODIPY meso position, have been synthesized and characterized. Complexes with the BODIPY moiety directly grafted to acetylacetonate (Ir-1 and Ir-2) exhibit higher absorption coefficients (ϵ≈4.46×104 m-1 cm-1 and 3.38×104 m-1 cm-1 at 517 nm and 594 nm, respectively), higher moderate fluorescence emission (φfl ≈0.08 and 0.22 at 528 nm and 652 nm, respectively) and, in particular, more efficient singlet oxygen generation upon visible-light irradiation (φΔ ≈0.86 and 0.59, respectively) than that exhibited by Ir-3 (φΔ ≈0.51, but only under UV light). Phosphorescence emission, nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption, and DFT calculations suggest that BODIPY-localized long-lived 3 IL states are populated for Ir-1 and Ir-2. In vitro photodynamic therapy (PDT) activity studied for Ir-1 and Ir-2 in HeLa cells shows that such complexes are efficiently internalized into the cells, exhibiting low dark- and high photocytoxicity, even at significantly low complex concentration, making them potentially suitable as theranostic agents.

Abstract
Although multifunctional upconversion imaging probes have recently attracted considerable interest in biomedical research, there are currently few methods for stabilizing these luminescent nanoprobes with oligonucleotides in biological systems. Herein, a method to robustly disperse upconversion nanoprobes in physiological buffers based on rational design and synthesis of nanoconjugates comprising hairpin-DNA-modified gold nanoparticles is presented. This approach imparts the upconversion nanoprobes with excellent biocompatibility and circumvents the problem of particle agglomeration. By combining single-band anti-Stokes near-infrared emission and the photothermal effect mediated by the coupling of gold to upconversion nanoparticles, a simple, versatile nanoparticulate system for simultaneous deep-tissue imaging and drug molecule release in vivo is demonstrated.

Abstract
To avoid the defect of low energy transfer efficiency in core-shell UCNP-TiO2 NPs, doping rare earth into TiO2 and improving the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 itself under Vis-NIR light might be a more direct and efficient strategy for high 1O2 production. Here, we designed a TiO2:Yb,Ho,F-β-CD@DTX/HA nanoplatform using TiO2:Yb,Ho,F as the core, β-CD as the drug carrier, hyaluronic acid (HA) as the capping agent and target, and then applied it for 808 nm induced photodynamic-chemotherapy and 980 nm upconversion fluorescence/MR imaging. The results were as follows: (i) for TiO2 as a photosensitizer, after doping Yb, Ho, F into TiO2, it could directly generate reactive oxygen species under an 808 nm laser; the dopants enhanced the absorption under the UV-Vis-NIR region and increased the electron-hole pair separation. (ii) For TiO2 as the upconversion host, F and Ho also endowed TiO2:Yb,Ho,F with enhanced upconversion fluorescence under a 980 nm laser and T2-MRI contrast performance (r2 = 30.71 mM-1 s-1), respectively, thus, facilitating imaging for deep tissues. (iii) The HA shell outside of β-CD prevented the unexpected leaking of DTX, which improved the target abilities and achieved the enzyme-responsive drug release. The in vitro and in vivo studies also demonstrated the nanosystem could efficiently suppress tumor growth by combination therapy and had excellent imaging (UCL/MR) ability. Particularly, our work was the first example that utilized TiO2 simultaneously as a photosensitizer and upconversion host, which simplified the core-shell UCNP-TiO2 nanocomposites and reached a "win-win" cooperation in NIR-induced photodynamic therapy and UCL imaging.

Abstract
Combined therapy using multiple approaches has been demonstrated to be a promising route for cancer therapy. To achieve enhanced antiproliferation efficacy under hypoxic condition, here we report a novel hybrid system by integrating dual-model photodynamic therapies (dual-PDT) in one system. First, we attached core-shell structured up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs, NaGdF4:Yb,Tm@NaGdF4) on graphitic-phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets (one photosensitizer). Then, the as-fabricated nanocomposite and carbon dots (another photosensitizer) were assembled in ZIF-8 metal-organic frameworks through an in situ growth process, realizing the dual-photosensitizer hybrid system employed for PDT via stepwise water splitting. In this system, the UCNPs can convert deep-penetration and low-energy near-infrared light to higher-energy ultraviolet-visible emission, which matches well with the absorption range of the photosensitizers for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation without sacrificing its efficacy under ZIF-8 shell protection. Furthermore, the UV light emitted from UCNPs allows successive activation of g-C3N4 and carbon dots, and the visible light from carbon dots upon UV light excitation once again activate g-C3N4 to produce ROS, which keeps the principle of energy conservation thus achieving maximized use of the light. This dual-PDT system exhibits excellent antitumor efficiency superior to any single modality, verified vividly by in vitro and in vivo assay.

Abstract
The mechanism of upconversion at the nanoscale is still under discussion. In this paper, we report on the experimental results of anti-Stokes luminescence kinetics in the upconversion nanoparticles of β-NaYF4: 20%Yb3+; 0.6%Tm3+. The parameters of the luminescence kinetics were found to be unambiguously dependent on the number of excitation quanta n, which are necessary for certain transitions between the energy states of thulium ions. The observed correlation has been explained by means of the long-lasting energy migration between the ytterbium ions. The spread in time between the luminescent maxima of the corresponding thulium transitions not only shows the nonlinear character of upconversion, but also reveals the time scale of energy migration as well. From these, we derive that the conventional Förster formalism applied to the estimation of energy transfer efficiency in UCNP-fluorophore pairs can provide misleading results.

Abstract
The progress in medical research has led to the understanding that cancer is a large group of heterogeneous diseases, with high variability between and within individuals. This variability sprouted the ambitious goal to improve therapeutic outcomes, while minimizing drug adverse effects through stratification of patients by the differences in their disease markers, in a personalized manner, as opposed to the strategy of "one therapy fits all". Nanotheranostics, composed of nanoparticles (NPs) carrying therapeutic and/or diagnostics probes, have the potential to revolutionize personalized medicine. There are different modalities to combine these two distinct fields into one system for a synergistic outcome. The addition of a nanocarrier to a theranostic system holds great promise. Nanocarriers possess high surface area, enabling sophisticated functionalization with imaging agents, thus gaining enhanced diagnostic ability in real-time. Yet, most of the FDA-approved theranostic approaches are based on small molecules. The theranostic approaches that are reviewed herein are paving the road towards personalized medicine through all stages of patient care: starting from screening and diagnostics, proceeding to treatment and ending with treatment follow-up. Our current review provides a broad background and highlights new insights for the rational design of theranostic nanosystems for desired therapeutic niches, while summoning the hurdles on their way to become first-line diagnostics and therapeutics for cancer patients.

Abstract
An efficient pH-responsive multifunctional polypeptide micelle for simultaneous imaging and in vitro photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been prepared. The goal here is to detect and treat cancer cells by near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging and PDT synchronously. A photosensitizer BODIPY-Br2 with efficient singlet oxygen generation was synthesized at first which owns both seductive abilities in fluorescence emission and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under light irradiation. Then, amphiphilic copolymer micelles pH-triggered disassembly were synthesized from N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) monomer via a ring-opening polymerization and click reaction for the loading of BODIPY-Br2 by hydrophobic interaction, and the driving force is the protonation of the diisopropylethylamine groups conjugated to the polypeptide side chains. In vitro tests performed on HepG2 cancer cells confirm that the cell suppression rate was improved by more than 40% in the presence of light in the presence of an extremely low energy density (12 J/cm(2)) with very low concentration of 5.4 μM photosensitizer. At the same time, the internalization of the nanoparticles by cells can also be traced by NIRF imaging, indicating that the NIR nanoparticles presented imaging guided photodynamic therapy properties. It provides the potential of using polypeptide as a biodegradable carrier for NIR image-guided photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
The near-infrared (NIR) region (700-1100 nm) is the so-called transparency "therapeutic window" for biological applications owing to its deeper tissue penetration and minimal damage to healthy tissues. In recent years, various NIR-based therapeutic and interventional strategies, such as NIR-triggered drug delivery, photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), are under research in intensive preclinical and clinical investigations for cancer treatment. The NIR control in these cancer therapy systems is considered crucial to boost local effective tumor suppression while minimizing side effects, resulting in improved therapeutic efficacy. Some researchers even predict the NIR-triggered cancer therapy to be a new and exciting possibility for clinical nanomedicine applications. In this review, the rapid development of NIR light-responsive cancer therapy based on various smartly designed nanocomposites for deep tumor treatments is introduced. In detail, the use of NIR-sensitive materials for chemotherapy, PTT as well as PDT is highlighted, and the associated challenges and potential solutions are discussed. The applications of NIR-sensitive cancer therapy modalities summarized here can highlight their potential use as promising nanoagents for deep tumor therapy.
