Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug carriers that can respond to oxidative stress in tumor tissue have attracted attention for site-specific drug release. Taking advantage of the characteristic microenvironment in tumors, one of the attractive directions in drug delivery research is to design drug carriers that release drugs upon oxidation. A strategy to incorporate oxidation-sensitive thioether motifs such as thiomorpholine acrylamide (TMAM) to drug carriers has been often used to achieve oxidation-induced dissociation, thereby targeted drug release. However, those delivery systems often suffer from a slow dissociation rate due to the intrinsic hydrophobicity of the thioether structures. In this study, we aimed to enhance the dissociation rate of TMAM-based micelles upon oxidation. The random copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide and TMAM (P(NIPAM/TMAM)) were designed as an oxidation-sensitive segment that showed a fast response to oxidative stress. We first synthesized P(NIPAM/TMAM) copolymers with different NIPAM:TMAM molar ratios. Those copolymers exhibited low critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) below 32 °C, which shifted to higher temperatures after oxidation. The changes in LCSTs depend on the NIPAM:TMAM molar ratios. At the NIPAM:TMAM molar ratio of 82:18, the LCSTs before and after oxidation were 17 and 54 °C, respectively. We then prepared micelles from the diblock copolymers of poly(N-acryloyl morpholine) (PAM) and P(NIPAM/TMAM). The micelles showed an accelerated dissociation rate upon oxidation compared to the micelles without NIPAM units. Furthermore, the doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded micelles showed enhanced relative toxicity in human colorectal cancer (HT29) cells over human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Our novel strategy to design an oxidation-sensitive micellar core comprising a P(NIPAM/TMAM) segment can be used as a chemotherapeutic delivery system that responds to an oxidative tumor microenvironment in an appropriate time scale.

Abstract
In clinical practice, drug therapy for cancer is still limited by its inefficiency and high toxicity. For precision therapy, various drug delivery systems, including polymeric micelles self-assembled from amphiphilic polymeric materials, have been developed to achieve tumor-targeting drug delivery. Considering the characteristics of the pathophysiological environment at the drug target site, the design, synthesis, or modification of environmentally responsive polymeric materials has become a crucial strategy for drug-targeted delivery. In comparison to the normal physiological environment, tumors possess a unique microenvironment, characterized by a low pH, high reactive oxygen species concentration, hypoxia, and distinct enzyme systems, providing various stimuli for the environmentally responsive design of polymeric micelles. Polymeric micelles with tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive characteristics have shown significant improvement in precision therapy for cancer treatment. This review mainly outlines the most promising strategies available for exploiting the tumor microenvironment to construct internal stimulus-responsive drug delivery micelles that target tumors and achieve enhanced antitumor efficacy. In addition, the prospects of TME-responsive polymeric micelles for gene therapy and immunotherapy, the most popular current cancer treatments, are also discussed. TME-responsive drug delivery via polymeric micelles will be an efficient and robust approach for developing clinical cancer therapies in the future.

Abstract
The design and development of advanced drug delivery systems targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS) have gained significant interest in recent years for treating various diseases, including cancer, psychiatric diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases, and chronic inflammations. Integrating specific chemical bonds capable of effectively responding to ROS and triggering drug release into the delivery system is crucial. In this Review, we discuss commonly used conjugation linkers (chemical bonds) and categorize them into two groups: cleavable linkers and noncleavable linkers. Our goal is to clarify their unique drug release mechanisms from a chemical perspective and provide practical organic synthesis approaches for their efficient production. We showcase numerous significant examples to demonstrate their synthesis routes and diverse applications. Ultimately, we strive to present a comprehensive overview of cleavage and noncleavage chemistry, offering insights into the development of smart drug delivery systems that respond to ROS.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Selenium (Se)-containing compound is sensitive to redox stimulation, showing hydrophobic-hydrophilic reversible transition. Introduction of such compound into honeycomb film could confer on it redox-switchable surface wettability, which is expected to control cell adhesion/detachment behavior. EXPERIMENTS Didodecyl selenide was designed and mixed with polystyrene to prepare honeycomb films using "breath figure" method. The film microstructures were characterized by scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscopy, and the arrangement of Se atoms in honeycomb film was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry. The variation of film wettability upon the alternating stimulation of H2O2 and Vc was examined. Then the cell adhesion, proliferation, and controlled detachment on honeycomb films were conducted. FINDINGS The introduction of didodecyl selenide helps to form ordered honeycomb film, and Se atoms were found to located on the bottom, pore walls, and top surface of the film. The presence of didodecyl selenide not only greatly improves film biocompatibility by enhancing cell thioredoxin reductase activity, but also imparts the film with H2O2-/vitamin C-regulated tunable wettability that controls cell adhesion and detachment. H2O2 treatment produces a hydrophilic surface for cell adhesion and proliferation, whereas the addition of vitamin C generates hydrophobic surfaces and allows cells to detach while remaining alive with high activity.

Abstract
Developing biodegradable cationic polymers with high antibacterial efficiency and low cytotoxicity is of great significance in biological applications. Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body, and selenium-containing compounds are promising in various health-related applications. To combine selenium with biodegradability, selenide-functionalized polycaprolactones (PCL) with different hydrophobic substituents were synthesized followed by selenoniumization. The optimal polyselenonium salt showed excellent antibacterial activity with an MBC of 2 μg mL-1 and an MIC of 1 μg mL-1 and exhibited good biocompatibility before and after degradation. In addition, the obtained selenium polymer can be well blended with commercial PCL by electrospinning, and films with good antibacterial activity were prepared. This work enriches the knowledge of selenium derivatives and lays a foundation for follow-up research on selenium cationic polymers in the antimicrobial field.

Abstract
Selenium is capable of forming a dynamic covalent bond with itself and other elements and can undergo metathesis and regeneration reactions under optimum conditions. Its dynamic nature endows selenium-containing polymers with striking sensitivity towards some environmental alterations. In the past decade, several selenium-containing polymers were synthesized and used for the preparation of oxidation-, reduction-, and radiation-responsive nanocarriers. Recently, thioredoxin reductase, sonication, and osmotic pressure triggered the cleavage of Se-Se bonds and swelling or disassembly of nanostructures. Moreover, some selenium-containing nanocarriers form oxidation products such as seleninic acids and acrylates with inherent anticancer activities. Thus, selenium-containing polymers hold promise for the fabrication of ultrasensitive and multifunctional nanocarriers of radiotherapeutic, chemotherapeutic, and immunotherapeutic significance. Herein, we discuss the most recent developments in selenium-containing polymeric micelles in light of their architecture, multiple stimuli-responsive properties, emerging immunomodulatory activities, and future perspectives in the delivery and controlled release of anticancer agents.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in regulating various physiological functions of living organisms; however, as the concentration of ROS increases in the area of a lesion, this may undermine cellular homeostasis, leading to a series of diseases. Using cell-product species as triggers for targeted regulation of polymer structures and activity represents a promising approach for the treatment. ROS-responsive polymer carriers allow the targeted delivery of drugs, reduce toxicity and side effects on normal cells, and control the release of drugs, which are all advantages compared with traditional small-molecule chemotherapy agents. These formulations have attracted great interest due to their potential applications in biomedicine. In this review, recent progresses on ROS responsive polymer carriers are summarized, with a focus on the chemical mechanism of ROS-responsive polymers and the design of molecular structures for targeted drug delivery and controlled drug release. Meanwhile, we discuss the challenges and future prospects of its applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as one of the noninvasive clinical cancer phototherapies, suffers from the key drawback associated with hypoxia at the tumor microenvironment (TME), which plays an important role in protecting tumor cells from damage caused by common treatments. High concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the hallmarks of TME, has been recognized as a double-edged sword, posing both challenges, and opportunities for cancer therapy. The promising perspectives, strategies, and approaches for enhanced tumor therapies, including PDT, have been developed based on the fast advances in H2O2-enabled theranostic nanomedicine. In this review, we outline the latest advances in H2O2-responsive materials, including organic and inorganic materials for enhanced PDT. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for further research on H2O2-responsive anticancer agents are envisioned .

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are new materials with applications in bioimaging, optical devices, catalysis, and many other fields. Their advantages, such as ease of large-scale preparation, low-costing precursors, highly tunable photoluminescence, satisfactory biocompatibility, and photostability against photobleaching, make them competitive alternatives to conventional semiconductor-based quantum dots and organic dyes. To overwhelm other luminescent materials in applications, their functionalities still need to be improved in spite of the abovementioned advantages. In recent years, it has been proven that heteroatom doping is an effective approach to improve the optical and electronic performance of CDs by tuning their carbon skeleton matrices and chemical structures. In this review, the development of non-metal-heteroatom-doped CDs, including heteroatom categories, preparation methods, and physicochemical properties, are discussed. Progressive trends in heteroatom-doped CDs are also discussed at the end of this review.

Abstract
Multicomponent polymerizations (MCPs) have emerged as a powerful tool in the synthesis of advanced, sequence-regulated polymers based on their mild reaction conditions, ease of use, and high atom economy. Herein, we exploit MCP methodology to introduce elemental selenium into a polymer chain, accessing a unique polymer class,i.e., polyselenoureas. These polyselenoureas can be synthesized from a broad range of commercially available starting materials, in a simple ambient temperature one-step procedure. The incorporation of selenium directly into the polymer backbone provides a unique handle for polymer characterization based on the distinctive isotope profiles exposed by high-resolution mass spectrometry, along with diagnostic signals observed in infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. In addition, diffusion ordered spectroscopy provides access to hydrodynamic diameter information on the generated unique polymer class.

Abstract
Novel biodegradable diselenide cross-linked starch-based hydrogels were synthesized via free radical copolymerization, which serve as stimuli-responsive drug release materials composed of starch chain backbones with an enzyme hydrolysis property and selenium-containing cross-linkers with a redox responsive cleavage property. Rhodamine B (RB) loaded starch-based hydrogels were prepared in order to investigate their stimuli-responsive release behaviours. In the presence of external redox agents, the enzyme stimuli as well as the mixture of the above stimuli, the prepared starch-based hydrogels exhibit controlled multi-responsive release behavior of RB. Overall, the merits of good biodegradation and multi-stimuli responsiveness make these kinds of starch-based hydrogels promising biomedical candidates for the realization of controlled drug delivery.
