Abstract
Nanotechnology has opened new doors of exploration, particularly in materials science and healthcare. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP), the tiny magnets, because of their various properties, have the potential to bring about radical changes in the field of medicine. The distinctive surface chemistry, nontoxicity, biocompatibility, and, in particular, the inducible magnetic moment of magnetic materials has attracted a great deal of interest in morphological structures from a variety of scientific domains. This review presents a concise overview of MNPs and their crucial properties and synthesis routes. It also aims to highlight the continuous synthesis methods available for MNP production. In recent years, the use of computational methods for understanding the behavior of nanoparticles has been on the rise. Thus, we also discuss the numerical models developed to understand how magnetic nanoparticles can be used in magnetic hyperthermia and targeting the Circle of Wilis. With the increasing use of MNPs in biomedical applications, it becomes necessary to understand the mechanisms of toxicity, which are elucidated in this review. The review focuses on the biomedical applications of MNPs in drug delivery, theranostics, and MRI contrasting agents. We anticipate that this article will broaden the perspective on magnetic nanoparticles and help to understand their functionality and applicability better.

Evaluation of the biodistribution and preliminary safety profile of a novel brain-targeted manganese dioxide-based nanotheranostic system for Alzheimer's disease. Nanotoxicology 2024; 18:315-334. [PMID: 38847611 DOI: 10.1080/17435390.2024.2361687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
A novel brain-targeted and reactive oxygen species-activatable manganese dioxide containing nanoparticle system functionalized with anti-amyloid-β antibody (named aAβ-BTRA-NC) developed by our group has shown great promise as a highly selective magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent for early detection and multitargeted disease-modifying treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To further evaluate the suitability of the formulation for future clinical application, we investigated the safety, biodistribution, and pharmacokinetic profile of aAβ-BTRA-NC in a transgenic TgCRND8 mouse AD model, wild type (WT) littermate, and CD-1 mice. Dose-ascending studies demonstrated that aAβ-BTRA-NC was well-tolerated by the animals up to 300 μmol Mn/kg body weight [b.w.], 3 times the efficacious dose for early AD detection without apparent adverse effects; Histopathological, hematological, and biochemical analyses indicated that a single dose of aAβ-BTRA-NC did not cause any toxicity in major organs. Immunotoxicity data showed that aAβ-BTRA-NC was safer than commercially available gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents at an equivalent dose of 100 μmol/kg b.w. of metal ions. Intravenously administered aAβ-BTRA-NC was taken up by main organs with the order of liver, kidneys, intestines, spleen, followed by other organs, and cleared after one day to one week post injection. Pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that the plasma concentration profile of aAβ-BTRA-NC followed a 2-compartmental model with faster clearance in the AD mice than in the WT mice. The results suggest that aAβ-BTRA-NC exhibits a strong safety profile as a nanotheranostic agent which warrants more robust preclinical development for future clinical applications.

Size-matching compositing nanoprobe of AIE-type gold nanocluster supramolecular nanogels wrapped by hypergravity-tailored MnO 2 nanosheets for cellular glutathione detection. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 308:123690.

Abstract
Compositing has been the main approach for material creation via wisely combining material components with different properties. MnO2 nanosheets (MNSs) with thin 2 D morphology are usually applied to composite molecules or nanomaterials for biosensing and bioimaging applications. However, such composition is actually structurally unmatched, albeit performance matching. Here, a series of benefits merely on the basis of structural match have been unearthed via tailoring MNSs with four sizes by synthesis under controllable hypergravity field. The classical fluorophore-quencher couple was utilized as the subject model, where the soft supramolecular nanogels based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active gold nanoclusters were wrapped by MNSs of strong absorption. By comparative study of one-on-one wrapping and one-to-many encapsulation with geometrical selection of different MNSs, we found that the one-on-one wrapping model protected weakly-bonded nanogels from combination-induced distortion and strengthened nanogel networks via endowing exoskeleton. Besides, wrapping pattern and size-match significantly enhanced the quenching efficiency of MNSs towards the emissive nanogels. More importantly, the well-wrapped nanocomposites had considerable enhanced biological compatibility with much lower cytotoxicity and higher transfection capacity than the untailored MNSs composite and could serve as cellular glutathione detection.

Abstract
The use of nanoparticles in the biomedical field has gained much attention due to their applications in biomedical imaging, drug delivery, and therapeutics. Silver telluride nanoparticles (Ag2Te NPs) have been recently shown to be highly effective computed tomography (CT) and dual-energy mammography contrast agents with good stability and biocompatibility, as well as to have potential for many other biomedical purposes. Despite their numerous advantageous properties for diagnosis and treatment of disease, the clinical translation of Ag2Te NPs is dependent on achieving high levels of excretion, a limitation for many nanoparticle types. In this work, we have synthesized and characterized a library of Ag2Te NPs and identified conditions that led to 3 nm core size and were renally excretable. We found that these nanoparticles have good biocompatibility, strong X-ray contrast generation, and rapid renal clearance. Our CT data suggest that renal elimination of nanoparticles occurred within 2 h of administration. Moreover, biodistribution data indicate that 93% of the injected dose (%ID) has been excreted from the main organs in 24 h, 95% ID in 7 days, and 97% ID in 28 days with no signs of acute toxicity in the tissues studied under histological analysis. To our knowledge, this renal clearance is the best reported for Ag2Te NP, while being comparable to the highest renal clearance reported for any type of nanoparticle. Together, the results herein presented suggest the use of GSH-Ag2Te NPs as an X-ray contrast agent with the potential to be clinically translated in the future.

Abstract
Renal-clearable nanomedicines are considered the next generation of nanomedicines, and show potential application for future clinical translations. However, it is important to determine whether self-assembly can form large aggregates that accrue in tumors and then tailor the size of these assemblies to be excreted renally. In this paper, a renal-clearable nanomedicine based on quanterrylene bisimide-mannose conjugates (QDI-Man) was developed. QDI-Man showed a high renal clearance efficiency of 80.31 ± 2.85% in mice. We confirmed that the self-assembly of QDI-Man exhibited a dynamic adjustment process through the renal filtration thresholds, that is, "aggregation → self-regulating the aggregate size through the renal filtration thresholds → reaggregating into aggregates". Benefiting from the modification of mannose-based glycoclusters, QDI-Man showed selective photothermal therapy because of the mannose receptors overexpressed in breast cancer cells, and showed good photothermal therapy in mice. This paper developed a dynamic adjustment theory for effective renal clearance based on organic self-assembly.

Abstract
Noble-metal nanoparticles (NMNPs), with their outstanding properties, have been arousing the interest of scientists for centuries. Although our knowledge of them is much more significant today, and we can obtain NMNPs in various sizes, shapes, and compositions, our interest in them has not waned. When talking about noble metals, gold, silver, and platinum come to mind first. Still, we cannot forget about elements belonging to the so-called platinum group, such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, and iridium, whose physical and chemical properties are very similar to those of platinum. It makes them highly demanded and widely used in various applications. This review presents current knowledge on the preparation of all noble metals in the form of nanoparticles and their assembling with carbon supports. We focused on the catalytic applications of these materials in the fuel-cell field. Furthermore, the influence of supporting materials on the electrocatalytic activity, stability, and selectivity of noble-metal-based catalysts is discussed.

Abstract
In the past decade, ultrasmall luminescent metal nanoparticles (ULMNPs, d < 3 nm) have achieved rapid progress in addressing many challenges in the healthcare field because of their excellent physicochemical properties and biological behaviors. With the sharp shrinking size of large plasmonic metal nanoparticles (PMNPs), the contributions from the surface characteristics increase significantly, which brings both opportunities and challenges in the application-driven surface engineering of ULMNPs toward advanced biological applications. Here, the systematic advancements in the biological applications of ULMNPs from bioimaging to theranostics are summarized with emphasis on the versatile surface engineering strategies in the regulation of biological targeting and imaging performance. The efforts in the surface functionalization strategies of ULMNPs for enhanced disease targeting abilities are first discussed. Thereafter, self-assembly strategies of ULMNPs for fabricating multifunctional nanostructures for multimodal imaging and nanomedicine are discussed. Further, surface engineering strategies of ratiometric ULMNPs to enhance the imaging stability to address the imaging challenges in complicated bioenvironments are summarized. Finally, the phototoxicity of ULMNPs and future perspectives are also reviewed, which are expected to provide a fundamental understanding of the physicochemical properties and biological behaviors of ULMNPs to accelerate their future clinical applications in healthcare.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is currently showing great promise for new methods of diagnosing and treating many diseases, particularly in kidney disease and transplantation. The unique properties of nanoparticles arise from the diversity of size effects, used to design targeted nanoparticles for specific cells or tissues, taking renal clearance and tubular secretion mechanisms into account. The design of surface particles on nanoparticles offers a wide range of possibilities, among which antibodies play an important role. Nanoparticles find applications in encapsulated drug delivery systems containing immunosuppressants and other drugs, in imaging, gene therapies and many other branches of medicine. They have the potential to revolutionize kidney transplantation by reducing and preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury, more efficiently delivering drugs to the graft site while avoiding systemic effects, accurately localizing and visualising the diseased site and enabling continuous monitoring of graft function. So far, there are known nanoparticles with no toxic effects on human tissue, although further studies are still needed to confirm their safety.

Abstract
The rapid development and advances in nanomaterials and nanotechnology in the past two decades have made profound impact in our approaches to individualized disease diagnosis and treatment. Nanomaterials, mostly in the range of 10-200 nm, developed for biomedical applications provide a wide range of platforms for building and engineering functionalized structures, devices, or systems to fulfill the specific diagnostic and therapeutic needs. Driven by achieving the ultimate goal of clinical translation, sub-5 nm nano-constructs, in particular inorganic nanoparticles such as gold, silver, silica, and iron oxide nanoparticles, have been developed in recent years to improve the biocompatibility, delivery and pharmacokinetics of imaging probes and drug delivery systems, as well as in vivo theranostic applications. The emerging studies have provided new findings that demonstrated the unique size-dependent physical properties, physiological behaviors and biological functions of the nanomaterials in the range of the sub-5 nm scale, including renal clearance, novel imaging contrast, and tissue distribution. This advanced review attempts to introduce the new strategies of rational design for engineering nanoparticles with the core sizes under 5 nm in consideration of the clinical and translational requirements. We will provide readers the update on recent discoveries of chemical, physical, and biological properties of some biocompatible sub-5 nm nanomaterials as well as their demonstrated imaging and theranostic applications, followed by sharing our perspectives on the future development of this class of nanomaterials. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants.

Abstract
Infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria have caused huge economic loss and numerous deaths over the past decades. Researchers are exploring multiple strategies to combat these bacterial infections. Metal nanomaterials have been explored as therapeutics against these infections owing to their relatively low toxicity, broad-spectrum activity, and low bacterial resistance development. Some coinage metal nanoclusters, such as gold, silver, and copper nanoclusters, can be readily synthesized. These nanoclusters can feature multiple useful properties, including ultra-small size, high catalytic activity, unique photoluminescent properties, and photothermal effect. Coinage metal nanoclusters have been investigated as antimicrobials, but more research is required to tap their full potential. In this review, we discuss multiple advantages and the prospect of using gold/silver/copper nanoclusters as antimicrobials.

Abstract
Integration of high tumor-targeting capacity, controlling in vivo transport and low normal tissue retention into one engineered nanoparticle is a critical issue for future clinically translatable anti-cancer nanomedicines. Herein, hyaluronic acid functionalized 3.8 nm NaGdF4 nanodots (named NaGdF4 ND@HAs) have been prepared through conjugation of tryptone capped NaGdF4 nanodots (NaGdF4 ND@tryptone) with hyaluronic acid (HA, a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan), which can recognize the overexpressed CD44 on cancer cell membranes. The as-prepared NaGdF4 ND@HAs have good paramagnetic properties (longitudinal relaxivity (r 1) = 7.57 × 10-3 M S-1) and low cytotoxicity. The in vivo experimental results demonstrate that the NaGdF4 ND@HAs can not only efficiently accumulate in mouse-bearing MDA-MB-231 tumors (ca. 5.3% injection dosage (ID) g-1 at 2 h post-injection), but also have an excellent renal clearance efficiency (ca. 75% injection dosage (ID) at 24 h post-injection). The as-prepared NaGdF4 ND@HAs have good paramagnetic properties with enhanced tumor-targeting capacity, which provides a useful strategy for the preparation of renal clearable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for tumors.

Abstract
The concerns about the possible risk of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) have been raised recently. Nano- and micro-sized copper oxide (CO and CONP) are widely used in many industries. In this regard, in-vitro studies have demonstrated that CONP is a toxic compound in different cell lines. Despite their unique properties, NPs possess unexpected toxicity profiling relative to the bulk materials. This study was designed to examine and compare the toxic effects of CO and CONPs in-vivo and in isolated rat mitochondria. Male Wistar albino rats received 50 to 1000 mg/kg CO or CONP by gavage and several toxicological endpoints including biochemical indices and oxidative stress markers. Then, the pathological parameters in the multiple organs such as liver, brain, spleen, kidney, and intestine were assessed. Mitochondria were isolated from the rat liver and several mitochondrial indices were measured. The results of this study demonstrated that CO and CONP exhibited biphasic dose-response effects. CONPs showed higher toxicity compared with the bulk material. There were no significant changes in the results of CONP and CO in isolated rat liver mitochondria. The present studies provided more information regarding the hormetic effects of CO and CONPs in-vivo and in isolated rat mitochondria.

Abstract
A straightforward approach to the fabrication of intrinsically excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)-fluorescent polymer nanoparticles (e-PNPs) was developed. The e-PNPs were obtained by self-assembly of the homopolymers derived from 4-aminosalicylic acid in aqueous solution. By incorporating ESIPT modules into polymer nanoparticles, the ESIPT reaction can be endowed with moderate hydrophobic micro-environment by nanoparticle scaffolds, eliciting enhanced ESIPT emission. The newly developed e-PNPs exhibit strong tautomeric fluorescence(e-FL), good photostability, low-toxicity and favourable biocompatibility in aqueous solution. Upon the addition of NO2-, the e-FL can be significantly quenched owing to the reaction of NO2- with the amide groups on e-PNPs. From this basis, the fluorescence detection of NO2- was implemented, which showed a linear relationship between 0 nM and 110 nM with a detection limit of 2.3 nM. Furthermore, e-PNPs were used as nanoprobes to monitor the NO2- levels in HeLa cells by fluorescence imaging, demonstrating the ability of discrimination from different concentrations of NO2-. The proposed method can be applied to a wide range of other ESIPT modules to integrate into polymer nanoparticles and offer highly sensitive nanosensing platform for bioanalysis and molecular imaging.

Abstract
The simultaneous possession of high tumor-targeting efficiency, long blood circulation, and low normal-tissue retention is critical for future clinically translatable nanomedicines. Herein, we reported a facile in situ glycoconjugation strategy for the synthesis of near-infrared (NIR)-emitting gold glyconanoparticles (AuGNPs, ∼2.4 nm) using 1-thio-β-d-glucose as both the surface ligand and the reducing agent in the presence of a gold precursor. The ultrasmall AuGNPs showed similar low healthy organ retention to that of the renal-clearable ultrasmall nonglyconanoparticles, but ∼10 and 2.5 times higher in vitro and in vivo tumor-targeting efficiencies, respectively, were observed. This facile glycoconjugation strategy of ultrasmall AuGNPs was found to show activity towards glucose transporters in the cancer cells and prolonged blood circulation with both renal and hepatobiliary clearance pathways, which synergistically enhanced the tumor targeting of the ultrasmall AuGNPs. This discovery provides a smart strategy for the improvement in tumor targeting by ultrasmall NPs and further strengthens our understanding of glycoconjugation in designing future clinically translatable nanomedicines.

Abstract
Investigations for accurately controlling the interaction between functional nanoparticles (NPs) and living cells set a long-thought benefit in nanomedicine and disease diagnostics. Here, we reveal a surface coverage-dependent cellular interaction by comparing the membrane binding and uptake of three ultrasmall luminescent gold NPs (AuNPs) with different surface coverages. Lower surface coverage leads to fast cellular interaction and strong membrane binding but low cellular uptake, whereas high surface coverage induces slow cellular interaction and low membrane binding but major cellular uptake. The slight number increase of cell-penetrating peptide on the surface of AuNPs shows improved cellular interaction dynamics and internalization through direct cellular membrane penetration. Furthermore, the different intrinsic emissions resulted from the surface coverage variation, especially the pH-responsive dual emissions, make the AuNPs powerful optical probes for subcellular imaging and tracking. The findings advance the fundamental understanding of the cellular interaction mechanisms of ultrasmall AuNPs and provide a feasible strategy for the design of functional NPs with tunable cellular interaction by surface regulation.

Abstract
Currently, nanomaterials are of widespread use in daily commercial products. However, the most-promising and potentially impacting application is in the medical field. In particular, nanosized noble metals hold the promise of shifting the current medical paradigms for the detection and therapy of neoplasms thanks to the: (i) localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs), (ii) high electron density, and (iii) suitability for straightforward development of all-in-one nanoplatforms. Nonetheless, there is still no clinically approved noble metal nanomaterial for cancer therapy and diagnostics. The clinical translation of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) is mainly prevented by the issue of persistence in organism after the medical action. Such persistence increases the likelihood of toxicity and the interference with common medical diagnoses. Size reduction to ultrasmall nanoparticles (USNPs) is a suitable approach to promoting metal excretion by the renal pathway. However, most of the functionalities of NPs are lost or severely altered in USNPs, jeopardizing clinical applications. A ground-breaking advance to jointly combine the appealing behaviors of NPs with metal excretion relies on the ultrasmall-in-nano approach for the design of all-in-one degradable nanoplatforms composed of USNPs. Such nanoarchitectures might lead to the delivery of a novel paradigm for nanotechnology, enabling the translation of noble metal nanomaterials to clinics to treat carcinomas in a less-invasive and more-efficient manner. This Review covers the recent progresses related to this exciting approach. The most-significant nanoarchitectures designed with the ultrasmall-in-nano approach are discussed, and perspectives on these nanoarchitectures are provided.
