Abstract
Nicotine (3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine) is one of the most common addictive substances, causing the trace detection of nicotine to be very necessary. Herein, we designed and prepared a functionalized nanocomposite CS-PAA (NaYF4:19.5%Yb,0.5%Tm@NaYF4-PAA) using a simple method. The nicotine concentration was quantitatively detected through the inhibition of choline oxidase activity by nicotine and the luminescence intensity of CS-PAA being quenched by Fe3+. The mechanism of Fe3+ quenching CS-PAA emission was inferred by luminescence lifetime and UV-vis absorption spectra characterization. During the nicotine detection, both excitation (980 nm) and emission (802 nm) wavelengths of CS-PAA enable the avoidance of the interference of background fluorescence in complicated food objects, thus providing high selectivity and sensitivity with a linear range of 5-750 ng/mL and a limit of detection of 9.3 nM. The method exhibits an excellent recovery and relative standard deviation, indicating high accuracy and repeatability of the detection of nicotine.

Abstract
Melanoma, the most aggressive and life-threatening form of skin cancer, lacks innovative therapeutic approaches and deeper bioinformation. In this study, we developed a photothermal therapy (PTT) based on Mo2C nanosheets to eliminate melanoma while utilizing integrated metabolomics to investigate the metabolic shift of metabolome combined lipidome during PTT at the molecular level. Our results demonstrated that 1 mg ml-1 Mo2C nanosheets could efficiently convert laser energy into heat with a strong and stable photothermal effect (74 ± 0.9 °C within 7 cycles). Furthermore, Mo2C-based PTT led to a rapid decrease in melanoma volume (from 3.299 to 0 cm2) on the sixth day, indicating the effective elimination of melanoma. Subsequent integrated metabolomics analysis revealed significant changes in aqueous metabolites (including organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, and amines) and lipid classes (including phospholipids, lysophospholipids, and sphingolipids), suggesting that melanoma caused substantial fluctuations in both metabolome and lipidome, while Mo2C-based PTT helped improve amino acid metabolism-related biological events (such as tryptophan metabolism) impaired by melanoma. These findings suggest that Mo2C nanosheets hold significant potential as an effective therapeutic agent for skin tumors, such as melanoma. Moreover, through exploring multidimensional bioinformation, integrated metabolomics technology provides novel insights for studying the metabolic effects of tumors, monitoring the correction of metabolic abnormalities by Mo2C nanosheet therapy, and evaluating the therapeutic effect on tumors.

Abstract
The acidic characteristic of the tumor site is one of the most well-known features and provides a series of opportunities for cancer-specific theranostic strategies. In this regard, pH-responsive theranostic nanoplatforms that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities are highly developed. The fluidity of the tumor microenvironment (TME), with its temporal and spatial heterogeneities, makes noninvasive molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology very desirable for imaging TME constituents and developing MRI-guided theranostic nanoplatforms for tumor-specific treatments. Therefore, various MRI-based theranostic strategies which employ assorted therapeutic modes have been drawn up for more efficient cancer therapy through the raised local concentration of therapeutic agents in pathological tissues. In this review, we summarize the pH-responsive mechanisms of organic components (including polymers, biological molecules, and organosilicas) as well as inorganic components (including metal coordination compounds, metal oxides, and metal salts) of theranostic nanoplatforms. Furthermore, we review the designs and applications of pH-responsive theranostic nanoplatforms for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In addition, the challenges and prospects in developing theranostic nanoplatforms with pH-responsiveness for cancer diagnosis and therapy are discussed.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) nanostructures, which can upconvert near-infrared (NIR) light with low energy to visible or UV light with higher energy, are investigated for theranostic applications. The surface of lanthanide (Ln)-doped UC nanostructures can be modified with different functional groups and bioconjugated with biomolecules for therapeutic systems. On the other hand, organic molecular-based UC nanostructures, by using the triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) UC mechanism, have high UC quantum yields and do not require high excitation power. In this review, the major UC mechanisms in different nanostructures have been introduced, including the Ln-doped UC mechanism and the TTA UC mechanism. The design and fabrication of Ln-doped UC nanostructures and TTA UC-based UC nanostructures for theranostic applications have been reviewed and discussed. In addition, the current progress in the application of UC nanostructures for diagnosis and therapy has been summarized, including tumor-targeted bioimaging and chemotherapy, image-guided diagnosis and phototherapy, NIR-triggered controlled drug releasing and bioimaging. We also provide insight into the development of emerging UC nanostructures in the field of theranostics.

Abstract
Controlled drug release and synergistic therapies have an important impact on improving therapeutic efficacy in cancer theranostics. Herein, a new near-infrared (NIR) light-controlled multi-functional nanoplatform (GNR@mSiO2-DOX/PFP@PDA) was developed for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumours. In this nano-system, doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and perfluoro-n-pentane (PFP) were loaded into the channels of mesoporous SiO2 simultaneously as a first step. A polydopamine (PDA) layer as the gatekeeper was coated on their surface to reduce premature release of drugs at physiological temperature. Upon 808 nm NIR irradiation, the gold nanorods (GNR) in the core of the nanoplatform show high photothermal conversion efficiency, which not only can provide the heat for PTT, but also can decompose the polymer PDA to allow DOX release from the channels of mesoporous SiO2. Most importantly, the photothermal conversion of GNR can also lead the liquid-gas phase transition of PFP to generate bubbles to accelerate the release of DOX, which can realize the chemotherapy of tumours. The subsequent synergistic chemo-PTT (contributed by the DOX and GNR) shows good anti-cancer activity. This work shows that the NIR-triggered multi-functional nanoplatform is of capital significance for future potential applications in drug delivery and cancer treatment.

Abstract
As one of the most common malignant tumors, oral cancer threatens people's health worldwide. However, traditional therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy can't meet the requirement of cancer cure. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted widespread attentions for its advantages of the noninvasive process, few side effects, and promising tumor ablation. Up to now, three types of photothermal agents (PTAs) have been widely employed in oral cancer therapies, which involve metallic materials, carbon-based materials, and organic materials. Previous research mainly introduced hybrid materials due to benefits from the synergistic effect of multiple functions. In this review, we present the advancement of each type PTAs for oral cancer treatment in recent years. In each part, we introduce the properties and synthesis of each PTA, summarize the current studies, and analyze their potential applications. Furthermore, we discuss the status quo and the deficiencies hindering the clinical application of PTT, based on which gives the perspective of its future developing directions.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) can cause mitochondrial dysfunction, inducing apoptosis of cancer cells, which sheds light on a potential alternative for cancer treatment. However, the existing CO-based compounds are inherently limited by their chemical nature, such as high biological toxicity and uncontrolled CO release. Therefore, a nanoplatform - UmPF - that addresses such pain points is urgently in demand. In this study, we have proposed a nanoplatform irradiated by near-infrared (NIR) light to release CO. Iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) was loaded in the mesoporous polydopamine layer that was coated on rare-earth upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs). The absorption wavelength of Fe(CO)5 overlaps with the emission bands of the UCNPs in the UV-visible light range, and therefore the emissions from the UCNPs can be used to incite Fe(CO)5 to control the release of CO. Besides, the catechol groups, which are abundant in the polydopamine structure, serve as an ideal locating spot to chelate with Fe(CO)5; in the meantime, the mesoporous structure of the polydopamine layer improves the loading efficiency of Fe(CO)5 and reduces its biological toxicity. The photothermal effect (PTT) of the polydopamine layer is highly controllable by adjusting the external laser intensity, irradiation time and the thickness of the polydopamine layer. The results illustrate that the combination of CO gas therapy (GT) and polydopamine PTT brought by the final nanoplatform can be synergistic in killing cancer cells in vitro. More importantly, the possible toxic side effects can be effectively prevented from affecting the organism, since CO will not be released in this system without near-infrared light radiation.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) represents an emerging modality that treats cancer and other malignant diseases by using Fenton or Fenton-like catalysts to decompose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Despite its great promise, chemodynamic therapy is still limited by low endogenous H2O2 levels and lack of highly efficient nanocatalysts. In this study, we have developed multi-functional therapeutic nanocomposites GO–ZVI–GOx (GO = graphene oxide, ZVI = zero valence iron nanoparticles and GOx = glucose oxidase), where the GOx can catalyze the intracellular glucose and self-produce H2O2 for enhanced CDT therapy, and the GO is used as a template to avoid the aggregation of ZVI nanoparticles and also as an excellent photo-thermal converter for photothermal therapy under near-infrared (NIR) light. Our results show that this H2O2 self-generating nanoplatform can produce substantial amounts of reactive radicals under 808 nm NIR light due to the combinational effect of dual chemodynamic and photothermal therapy, which eventually leads to a significant decrease in cancer cell viability. It is believed that the methodology developed in this study enables conventional chemodynamic therapy to be efficiently improved, and holds great potential for overcoming challenges in many other H2O2-dependent cancer therapies. A H2O2 self-providing therapeutic nanoplatform is reported to achieve enhanced chemodynamic/photothermal therapy.![]()

Abstract
While photothermal therapy is widely applied in phototherapy, there are still challenges in developing new generation phototherapy materials with precise diagnostic functions. Here we report the construction of a pH responsive upconversion fluorescence imaging precisely guided photothermal therapy system, namely NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+@NaYF4@MnO2@Au nanocomposites, which can effectively avoid light damage to non-target tissues. Owing to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the upconversion nanocrystal donor and MnO2 and Au acceptor, the upconversion fluorescence is completely quenched. However, in pH 5.3 PBS buffer, MnO2 is gradually broken down, and the upconversion fluorescence is partially recovered, which could be used for upconversion fluorescence imaging to precisely guide photothermal therapy under 980 nm excitation. Simultaneously, due to the absorption of 980 nm excitation light and the emission bands of Er3+ (2H11/2→4I15/2 and 4S3/2→4I15/2 transition), temperature increment of core@shell@MnO2@Au could reach 35.5 °C under 980 nm excitation at 0.8 W cm-2. The core@shell@MnO2@Au nanocomposites are supposed to contribute significantly in the biological applications of photoluminescence imaging and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Due to the unique properties of lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP) under near-infrared (NIR) light, the last decade has shown a sharp progress in their biomedicine applications. Advances in the techniques for polymer, dye, and bio-molecule conjugation on the surface of the nanoparticles has further expanded their dynamic opportunities for optogenetics, oncotherapy and bioimaging. In this account, considering the primary benefits such as the absence of photobleaching, photoblinking, and autofluorescence of UCNPs not only facilitate the construction of accurate, sensitive and multifunctional nanoprobes, but also improve therapeutic and diagnostic results. We introduce, with the basic knowledge of upconversion, unique properties of UCNPs and the mechanisms involved in photon upconversion and discuss how UCNPs can be implemented in biological practices. In this focused review, we categorize the applications of UCNP-based various strategies into the following domains: neuromodulation, immunotherapy, drug delivery, photodynamic and photothermal therapy, bioimaging and biosensing. Herein, we also discuss the current emerging bioapplications with cutting edge nano-/biointerfacing of UCNPs. Finally, this review provides concluding remarks on future opportunities and challenges on clinical translation of UCNPs-based nanotechnology research.

Abstract
The development of theranostic platforms combining surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) imaging with NIR-stimulated photothermal therapy (PTT) is of utmost importance for the precise diagnosis and selective treatment of cancers, especially in superficial solid tumors. For this purpose, a versatile theranostic nanoprobe of liposomal layer-coated Au nanocages (AuNCs) was decorated with an anti-MUC18 single-chain antibody (scFv). 4-mercapto benzoic acid (p-MBA)-labeled AuNCs (p-AuNCs) were coated by a liposomal layer (p-AuNCs@lip), followed by conjugating anti-MUC18 scFv via post-insertion method to form immuno-liposomal layer-coated AuNCs (p-AuNCs@scFv-lip). Physicochemical characterizations of the p-AuNCs@scFv-lip were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis and Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, the targeting ability and theranostic efficiency of the nanoprobe were evaluated for specific diagnosis and treatment of cancerous melanoma cells by flow cytometry, SERS mapping, and live/dead assay. The formation of lipid layer on p-AuNCs surface was confirmed by TEM imaging. After decorating the liposomal layer with scFv, a relevant red shift was observed in the UV-vis spectrum. Moreover, p-AuNCs@lip presented characteristic peaks in the Raman spectrum, which exhibited only a minor change after scFv conjugation (p-AuNCs@scFv-lip). Interestingly, the cellular uptake of AuNCs@scFv-lip by A375 cell line (MUC18+) showed a 24-fold enhancement compared with SKBR3 cells (MUC18-). AuNCs@scFv-lip specifically identified A375 cells from SKBR cells via SERS mapping and effectively killed A375 cells through the PTT mechanism. Taken together, this theranostic platform can provide a promising tool for both in situ diagnosis and remote-controlled thermal ablation of cancer cells.

Abstract
The endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME) can signally influence the therapeutic effects of cancer, so it is necessary to explore effective synergistic therapeutic strategies based on changing of the TME. Here, a catalytic cascade nanoplatform based on manganese (Mn)-etched dendritic mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (designated as DMMnSiO3 NPs) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and natural glucose oxidase (GOD) is established (designated as DIG nanocomposites). As the Mn-O bonds in DMMnSiO3 NPs are susceptive to mildly acidic and reducing environments, the DIG nanocomposites can be rapidly decomposed because of the biodegradation of DMMnSiO3 NPs once internalized into the tumor by the consumption of glutathione (GSH) in TME to weaken the antioxidant capability of the tumors. The released Mn2+ could catalyze endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate oxygen (O2) to relieve the hypoxia in TME. The generation of O2 may promote the catalyzed oxidation of glucose by GOD, which will cut off nutrient supplies, accompanied by the regeneration of H2O2. The regenerated H2O2 could be sequentially catalyzed by Mn2+ to compensate for the consumed O2, and thus, the catalytic cascade process between Mn2+ and GOD was set up. As a result, a synergistic therapeutic strategy based on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Mn2+, starvation therapy by O2-compensation enhanced catalyzing glucose, dual-model (GSH consumption and O2 compensation) enhanced photodynamic therapy, and effective photothermal therapy of ICG (η = 23.8%) under 808 nm laser irradiation has been successfully established.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanocomposites can combine multiple functions into a single nanosystem and thus have attracted extensive interest in various fields. The combination of magnetic and upconversion luminescent nanoparticles into one single nanoplatform, which have a good application in biomedical fields such as bio-magnetic separation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and optical imaging, is highly desirable. Here we reported multifunctional nanocomposites by using hollow carbon sphere to integrate magnetic Fe3O4 and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into one nanosystem. The as-prepared UCNPs/Fe3O4@h-C have near-infrared (NIR) luminescence under 980 nm excitation and superparamagnetism. In addition, since the carbon layer can absorb NIR light and transfer it into heat with high efficiency, the nanocomposites can realize photo thermal (PT), upconversion luminescence (UCL) and MRI tri-mode imaging. The UCNPs/Fe3O4@h-C might be further utilized as a potential theranostic agent, including its in-depth monitoring through luminescent imaging and MRI diagnosis, as well as its direct use in tumors as a photothermal therapy (PTT) agent.

Abstract
It remains a great challenge to integrate effective photothermal therapeutic materials with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into one structure with small size. Herein, a new and simple method was developed to combine the luminescent UCNPs with vanadium disulfide (VS2) heterogeneously growing on the UCNPs. VS2 was grown directly on the surface of UCNPs to obtain oil-soluble nanocomposites, UCNPs@VS2. Then polyethylene glycol (mPEG) was functionalized on the surface of the nanocomposites to improve the water solubility, resulting in the integrated nanostructure UCNPs@VS2-mPEG (with an approximate size of 25 nm) for bioimaging and photothermal therapy in vitro. Importantly, cytotoxicity test results show that the final nanostructure has good biocompatibility. Furthermore, due to the excellent photothermal effects of VS2 and the unique imaging function of UCNPs, the nanostructure shows effective photothermal therapy for HeLa cells and was successfully applied in magnetic resonance imaging and upconversion luminescence imaging in vitro. Therefore, this study demonstrates a simple yet powerful method of growing VS2 on the surface of UCNPs, which provides an effective method to establish one integrated nanostructure with a nanoscale advantage for dual-model bioimaging and treatment.

Abstract
Physically triggered systems hold promise for improving drug delivery by enhancing the controllability of drug accumulation and release, lowering non-specific toxicity, and facilitating clinical translation. Several external physical stimuli including ultrasound, light, electric fields and magnetic fields have been used to control drug delivery and they share some common features such as spatial targeting, spatiotemporal control, and minimal invasiveness. At the same time, they possess several distinctive features in terms of interactions with biological entities and/or the extent of stimulus response. Here, we review the key advances of such systems with a focus on discussing their physical mechanisms, the design rationales, and translational challenges.

Abstract
A multifunctional targeted nanoplatform combining photothermal therapy and chemotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy for comprehensive therapies of breast cancer. In this study, we constructed human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2)-targeted gold nanoshelled poly(lactic- co-glycolic acid) hybrid nanocapsules encapsulating perfluorooctyl bromide, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, and doxorubicin (Her2-GPDH nanocapsules) as theranostic agent for bimodal ultrasound/magnetic resonance imaging and synergistic photothermal-chemotherapy of Her2-postive breast cancer cells. Her2–GPDH nanocomposites possessed well-defined spherical morphology, and the average diameter was about 296 nm with good dispersion. Targeting assays demonstrated that Her2–GPDH nanocapsules exhibited higher targeting binding to Her2-positive SKBR3 cells than Her2-negative MDA-MB-231cells. The encapsulation efficiency and the loading content of doxorubicin in Her2–GPDH nanocapsules were 39 ± 1.45% and 3.8 ± 0.52%, respectively, and the agent exhibited pH-responsive and near-infrared light-triggered stepwise release behavior of doxorubicin. In vitro, the agent had potential to serve as feasible candidate for ultrasound imaging and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with a relatively high relaxivity. Cell experiments confirmed that the agent had significant photothermal cytotoxicity on SKBR3 cells, and the combined photothermal–chemotherapy could significantly enhance the anti-tumor effect. In summary, the present Her2–GPDH nanocapsules, a novel multifunctional nanoplatform, will offer a new way for early bimodal molecular-level diagnosis and synergistic treatment of Her2-positve breast cancer.

Abstract
Conjugating transition-metal sulfide quantum dots and upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) has aroused widespread concern due to enhanced physical and chemical properties in contrast to only their simple sum. However, the synthesis of such hybrid nanoparticles by a universal in situ growth strategy has been scarcely reported so far. Herein, we developed a facile approach to functionalize NaYF4:Yb/Er with chitosan (NaYF4:Yb/Er@CS), which not only could improve the hydrophilicity of NaYF4:Yb/Er, but also can form stable chelates with transition-metal ions. Then, ultrasmall metal sulfide (Mn+S, M = Ag, Cu, Cd) quantum dots (QDs) can be conjugated homogeneously on the surface of NaYF4:Yb/Er@CS. Taking Ag2S as an example, the growth behavior of Ag2S QDs on the surface of NaYF4:Yb/Er@CS was studied specifically. The influence of the Ag : Y ratio, S : Ag ratio, pH value, reaction time and reaction temperature on the growth behavior of Ag2S on the surface of NaYF4:Yb/Er@CS was investigated systematically. Meanwhile, this innovative strategy is also suitable for the growth of ultrasmall QDs in various shapes, including plates, spheres and rods. The resultant NaYF4:Yb/Er@CS@Ag2S system possesses both upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties of NaYF4:Yb/Er and a good photothermal conversion effect of Ag2S, and is a promising candidate for UCL imaging guided PTT of cancer.

Abstract
A novel drug-delivery nanosystem based on near-infrared (NIR) light-degradable antimony nanoparticles (AMNP) have been developed for synergistic chemo-phototherapy in vitro. The monodispersed AMNP were synthesized by using a simple and cost-effective method. Positively charged doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was loaded onto the negatively charged surface of AMNP via electrostatic interaction and finally modified by polyacrylic acid (PAA) to enhance biocompatibility. Under NIR (808 nm) laser irradiation of the AMNP-DOX-PAA nanosystem, not only was high photothermal conversion efficiency of AMNP achieved but also pH-dependent DOX release was enhanced due to laser-induced hyperthermia. As a consequence, almost all of the HeLa cells (around 97%) were killed because of the combined effects of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. More interestingly, AMNP showed very fast (about 10 min) laser-induced degradation that may help to minimize long-term toxicity after therapy by using same-wavelength NIR laser irradiation (808 nm). Computational total energy calculations and molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) suggest that the NIR laser irradiation induces a photothermally activated reaction on the surface of AMNP in water, which can lead to surface degradation via the formation of Sb-H bonds first and then Sb-OH bonds upon further increase of temperature. This work demonstrates a simple platform that has potential applications for synergistic and highly effective chemo-photothermal therapy based on photodegradable nanoparticles.

Abstract
To date, malignant tumors continue to be the most lethal disease, causing more than 8.2 million deaths worldwide each year. In recent years, nanostructures based on rare-earth upconversion luminescent nanoparticles have shown significant advantages in the integration of multimodal imaging and therapy. Compared with normal tissues, the tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits unique characteristics including high interstitial fluid pressure, abnormal blood vessels, a hypoxic and slightly acidic environment, and high levels of glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). According to these characteristics, increasing attention in the antitumor field has been given to designing nanomedicines with specific responses to the TME based on rare-earth upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and to achieving efficient tumor diagnosis and treatment under the premise of reducing side effects. Nevertheless, a review that systematically summarizes TME-responsive upconversion nanomedicines (UCNMs) for realizing tumor self-enhanced theranostics has not been published to date. In this review, we summarize the recent progress made in UCNP-based nanotherapeutics by highlighting the increasingly developing trend of TME-responsive UCNMs. The general characteristics of the TME are introduced in detail and their utilization in designing TME-responsive UCNMs is systematically discussed. Based on NIR light-excited optical imaging, we discuss the superiority of UCNMs when applied in tumor theranostics with an emphasis on how to use them to realize TME-mediated multimodal imaging-guided therapy.

Abstract
Due to the inherent limitations, single chemo or photothermal therapies (PTT) are always inefficient. The combination of chemotherapy and PTT for the treatment of cancers has attracted a great interest during the past few years. As a photothermal agent, black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) possess an excellent extinction coefficient, high photothermal conversion efficacy, and good biocompatibility. Herein, we developed a photo- and pH-sensitive nanoparticle based on BPQDs for targeted chemo-photothermal therapy. Doxorubicin (DOX) was employed as a model drug. This nanosystem displayed outstanding photothermal performance both in vitro and in vivo. Folic acid conjugation onto the surface endowed this system an excellent tumor-targeting effect, which was demonstrated by the cellular targeting assay. The BPQDs-based drug delivery system exhibited pH- and photo-responsive release properties, which could reduce the potential damage to normal cells. The in vitro cell viability study showed a synergistic effect in suppressing cancer cell proliferation. Therefore, this BPQDs-based drug delivery system has substantial potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
The combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging technology with near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered photothermal therapy is of utmost importance to develop novel theranostic platforms. Herein, an aptamer-conjugated Au nanocage/SiO2 (AuNC/SiO2/Apt) core-shell Raman nanoprobe has been rationally designed as the bifunctional theranostic platform to fulfill this task. In this theranostic system, the Raman-labeled Au nanocage (AuNC) was encapsulated into a bioinert shell of SiO2, followed by conjugating aptamer AS1411 as the target-recognition moiety. AuNC served as the SERS-active and photothermal substrate due to its large free volume, built-in plasmon effect, and NIR photothermal capacity, while the SiO2 coating endowed the nanoprobes with good stability and biocompatibility, as well as abundant anchoring sites for surface functionalization. Considering their prominent SERS and photothermal properties, the application potential of the AuNC/SiO2/Apt nanoprobes was investigated. The proposed nanoprobes could be applied to targeted detection and SERS imaging of nucleolin-overexpressing cancer cells (MCF-7 cells as the model) from normal cells and also exhibited acceptable photothermal efficacy without systematic toxicity. This theranostic nanoplatform provided a possible opportunity for in situ diagnosis and noninvasive treatment of cancer cells by SERS imaging-guided photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Herein, a novel multifunctional nanoplatform was designed toward multimodality imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT). It was found that Bi nanoparticles could grow in situ on the surface of NaYF4:20%Yb,2%Er@NaYF4:40%Yb@NaGdF4 core-shell nanoparticles (labeled as UCNPs). In this structure, UCNPs were mainly employed as an upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging agent, whereas the Bi nanoparticles worked as an effective CT imaging and photothermal agent. Importantly, a dense SiO2 shell was employed to protect the Bi nanoparticles from oxidation, and it also endowed the nanoplatform with excellent hydrophilic ability. The effective UCL/CT imaging and PTT performances were emphasized by a series of in vivo experiments, which suggest that the integrated nanoplatform with imaging and therapy functions shows great promise in the biomedical field.

Abstract
In the recent years, targeted cancer theranosis, the concomitant therapeutic treatment and selective visualization of cancerous tissue, has become a powerful strategy to improve patient prognosis. In this context, targeted multimodal molecular imaging, the combination of different imaging modalities overcoming their individual limitations, has attracted great attention. Due to their unique properties, advanced nanomaterials have taken center stage in the development of theranostics. In this work, we report a novel Janus nanoplatform by combining an Fe3O4 NPs/mesoporous silica core@shell face together with an Au nanoparticle face. Due to its anisotropy, this hybrid nanomaterial enabled the orthogonal site-selective modification of each face permitting the incorporation of a targeting peptide for cancer detection (cRGD) and a fluorescent dye. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of this Janus nanoplatform together with those selectively generated on their surfaces, the resulting hybrid nanocarrier successfully promoted the in vivo tumor-targeted multimodal imaging by magnetic resonance (Fe3O4 core), computed tomography (AuNP face), and fluorescent tracking (fluorescent dye loading) in a fibrosarcoma-bearing mouse model. The achieved results endorse these hybrid Janus nanoparticles as a powerful and flexible platform with integrated imaging and carrier functionalities to be equipped with therapeutic features to generate an advanced multifunctional nanocarrier for targeted cancer theranosis.

Abstract
In this review, we focus on recent advances in the synthesis of polymer-functionalized transition-metal-based nanomaterials and follow this up by discussing their applications in bioimaging diagnosis and cancer therapy. Transition-metal-based nanomaterials show great potential in cancer therapy owing to their intensive near-IR absorption, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, strong X-ray attenuation, and magnetic properties. Functional polymers are usually introduced by a one-step or multistep method to further endow these nanomaterials with great biocompatibility and physiological stability. Polymer-decorated transition-metal nanomaterials show great potential in multimodal imaging diagnosis (photoacoustic imaging, computed tomography, photoluminescence imaging, positron emission tomography, etc.) and cancer therapy (chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, microwave therapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy). At the end of this review, the prospects of these polymer-decorated transition-metal-based nanomaterials are also discussed.

Abstract
Considering the dilemma between the effective tumor targeting and the avoidance of potential toxicity, it is desired to design nanoprobes with positive tumor-targeting and good renal clearance ability. In the present work, we developed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted peptide-functionalized Ba2GdF7 nanoparticles (termed as pEGFR-targeted Ba2GdF7 NPs) for positive tumor-targeting magnetic resonance imaging and X-ray computed tomography (MRI/CT) dual-mode bioimaging. The positive tumor-targeting ability of pEGFR-targeted Ba2GdF7 NPs is achieved by conjugation of EGFR-targeted peptides on the 6.5 nm Ba2GdF7 NP surface through the formation of Gd-phosphonate coordinate bonds. The pEGFR-targeted Ba2GdF7 NPs display desirable cytocompatibility in the test concentration range and high binding affinity with lung cancer cells. In vivo MR and CT imaging results demonstrate that the pEGFR-targeted Ba2GdF7 NPs are able to be accumulated and detained within an engrafted A549 lung carcinoma, which enhances both MR and CT contrast in the tumor tissue. Systematic in vivo experimental results further demonstrate that the pEGFR-targeted Ba2GdF7 NPs have favorable in vivo renal clearance kinetics as well as reasonable in vivo biocompatibility.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) has become an appealing therapeutic approach for cancer and other diseases. One key challenge is the effective protection of these small fragile biomolecules against complicated physiological environments as well as efficient on-demand release. Here we design a photo-tearable polymer tape close-wrapped nanocapsule for efficient NIR modulated siRNA delivery. The photo-tearable nanocapsules comprise core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) coated with mesoporous silica layer for loading of photosensitizer hypocrellin A (HA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) against polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), and covalently bound thin membranes of polyethylene glycol (PEG) via a synthesized photocleavable linker (PhL). Upon irradiation at 980 nm, the UCNPs produce UV emissions to break PhL and tear out PEG membrane for siRNA release, and blue emissions to activate HA for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The close PEG membrane wrapping not only guarantees the efficient intracellular photocleavage, but also extends the circulation time and protects the loaded cargos from leakage and degradation. The ROS assists endosomal escape of the loaded cargos, therefore effectively improves the gene silencing efficiency and the suppressions of cell proliferation in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. The proposed photo-tearable tape-wrapped nanocapsules have promising potential application in precision medicine.

Abstract
A novel strategy for preparing highly pure NaYF4-based upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) was developed using lanthanide oleate compounds [Ln(OA)3] as the precursor, denoted as the Ln-OA preparation method. Compared to the conventional solvothermal method for synthesizing UCNPs using lanthanide chloride compounds (LnCl3) as the precursor (denoted as the Ln-Cl method), the Ln-OA strategy exhibited the merits of high purity, reduced purification process and a uniform size in preparing core and core-shell UCNPs excited by a 980 or 808 nm near infrared (NIR) laser. This work sheds new insight on the preparation of UCNPs and promotes their application in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Cancer gives rise to an enormous number of deaths worldwide nowadays. Therefore, it is in urgent need to develop new therapies, among which combined therapies including photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy (CHT) using polymer-based nanocarriers have attracted enormous interest due to the significantly enhanced efficacy and great progress has been made so far. The preparation of such nanocarriers is a comprehensive task involving the cooperation of nanomaterial science and biomedicine science. In this review, we try to introduce and analyze the structure, preparation and synergistic therapeutic effect of various polymer-based nanocarriers composed of anti-tumor drugs, nano-sized photothermal materials and other possible parts. Our effort may bring benefit to future exploration and potential applications of similar nanocarriers.

Abstract
An anti-cancer campaign might not be easily achieved through a single therapeutic modality. Collaboration of multimodal therapies and diagnosis could be vital to win the battle against cancer. In this context, we synthesized a multifunctional theranostic nanocomposite (UCNP–BPNS) from upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) and black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS) for synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapies in vitro and dual modal imaging. Core–shell UCNP (NaYF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4) and BPNS were synthesized using solvo-thermal and liquid exfoliation methods, respectively, and then covalently conjugated after UCNP was modified with polyacrylic acid and BPNS with methoxypolyethylene glycol amine. The experimental results validate that the nanocomposite exhibited a good photothermal therapy (PTT) effect under 808 nm laser irradiation, endorsing the apparent heat conversion effect of BPNS. Besides, a very good photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect was achieved under 980 nm laser irradiation of the nanocomposite due to Förster resonance energy transfer from UCNP to BPNS that generated singlet oxygen (1O2). The synergistic PTT/PDT therapeutic effect provided by UCNP–BPNS under simultaneous 808 and 980 nm laser irradiation was significantly higher than either PTT or PDT alone. Furthermore, due to the merit of the outer shell coated on the surface of the core of UCNP, the nanocomposite exhibited good potential for magnetic resonance and upconversion luminescence imaging. These results demonstrated that our multifunctional nanocomposite has promising theranostic efficacy under near infrared laser irradiation. We successfully synthesized a multifunctional theranostic nanocomposite from upconversion nanoparticles and black phosphorus nanosheets for synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapies in vitro and dual modal imaging.![]()
