Abstract
The efficacy of electrical stimulation facilitating peripheral nerve regeneration is evidenced extensively, while the associated secondary damage resulting from repeated electrode invasion and indiscriminate stimulation is inevitable. Here, we present an optogenetics strategy that utilizes upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) to convert deeply penetrating near-infrared excitation into blue emission, which activates an adeno-associated virus-encoding ChR2 photoresponsive ion channel on cell membranes. The induced Ca2+ flux, similar to the ion flux in the electrical stimulation approach, efficiently regulates viability and proliferation, secretion of nerve growth factor, and neural function of RSC96 cells. Furthermore, deep near-infrared excitation is harnessed to stimulate autologous Schwann cells in situ via a UCNP-composited scaffold, which enhances nerve sprouting and myelination, consequently promoting functional recovery, electrophysiological restoration, and reinnervation of damaged nerves. This developed postoperatively noninvasive optogenetics strategy presents a novel, minimally traumatic, and enduring therapeutic stimulus to effectively promote peripheral nerve repair.

Abstract
Traditional drugs have the disadvantages of poor permeability and low solubility, which makes the utilization of pesticides lower and brings many side effects. With the continuous development of supramolecular chemistry in recent years, it has also played an irreplaceable role in the field of pharmaceutical science. Supramolecular macrocycles, such as crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, pillararenes and cucurbiturils, are potentially good candidates for drug carriers due to their biocompatibility, hydrophobic cavity and ease of derivatization. The encapsulation of drugs based on host-guest interaction has the advantage of being adjustable and reversible as well as improving the low availability of drugs. Here, the recent advances in methods and strategies for drug encapsulation and release based on supramolecular macrocycles with host-guest interactions have been systematically summarized, laying a bright foundation for the development of novel nanopesticide preparations in the future and pointing out future directions of novel biopesticide research.

Pillar[n]arenes with the advantages of a rigid structure, electron holes and easy functionalization are considered as excellent candidates for the construction of host-guest nanosystems. In recent years, many pillararene modified nanosystems have been reported in response to different stimuli. In this feature article, we summarize the advance of stimuli-responsive pillararene modified nanosystems for controlled release of drugs from the perspectives of decomposition release and gated release, focusing on the control principles of these nanosystems. We expect that this review can enlighten and guide investigators in the field of stimuli-responsive controlled release.

Abstract
Various fluctuations of intracellular ions, biomolecules, and other conditions in the physiological environment play crucial roles in fundamental biological processes. These factors are of great importance for analysis in biomedical detection. Nevertheless, developments of the simple, rapid, and accurate proof for specific detection still encounter major challenges. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which could absorb multiple low-energy near-infrared light (NIR) photon excitation and emits high-energy photons caused by anti-Stokes shift, show unique upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties, for example, sharp emission band, high physicochemical stability like near-zero photobleaching, photo blinking in biological tissues, and long luminescence lifetime. Furthermore, the NIR used for the light source to excite UCNPs enable lower photo-damage effect and deeper penetration of tissue, and in the meantime, it can avoid the auto-fluorescence and light scattering from biological tissue interference. Thus, the lanthanide-doped UCNP-based functional platform with controlled structure, crystalline phase, size, and multicolor emission has become an appropriate nanomaterial for bioapplications such as biosensing, bioimaging, drug release, and therapies. In this review, the recent progress about synthesis and biomedical applications of UCNPs related to sensing and bioimaging is summarized. Firstly, the different luminescence mechanisms of the upconversion process are presented. Secondly, four of the most common methods for synthesizing UCNPs are compared as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these synthetic routes. Meanwhile, the surface modification of lanthanide-doped UCNPs was introduced to pave the way for their biochemistry applications. Next, this review detailed the biological applications of lanthanide-doped UCNPs, particularly in bioimaging, including UCL and multi-modal imaging and biosensing (monitoring intracellular ions and biomolecules). Finally, the challenges and future perspectives in materials science and biomedical fields of UCNPs are concluded: the low quantum yield of the upconversion process should be considered when they are executed as imaging contrast agents. And the biosafety of lanthanide-doped UCNPs needs to be evaluated.

Abstract
This review discusses the design and syntheses of molecular-scale pillar[n]arene-based porous materials with promising applications and summarises the development of using pillar[n]arenes as the building blocks of porous materials. From the perspective of "role of participation" in the syntheses of molecular-scale pillar[n]arene-based porous materials, the content can be divided into pillar[n]arenes serving as supramolecular nanovalves on surfaces and as ligands for metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic polymers. By integrating pillararenes, which possess rigid pillar-like structures, electron-rich cavities and desirable host-guest properties, with porous polymers of large surface areas and abundant active sites, applications of the resulting materials in drug release platforms, molecular recognition, sensing, detection, gas adsorption, removal of water pollution, organic photovoltaic materials and heterogeneous catalysis can be realised simultaneously and efficiently. Finally, in the conclusions and perspectives part, we put forward the challenges and viewpoints of the current research on pillar[n]arene-based porous materials. We hope this article can provide a timely and valuable reference for researchers interested in synthetic macrocycles and porous materials.

Abstract
A series of macrocyclic compounds, including crown ether, cyclodextrin, cucurbituril and pillararene, bound to various specific organic/inorganic/biological guest molecules and ions through various non-covalent interactions, can not only make a single system multifunctional but also endow the system with intelligence, especially for luminescent materials. Due to their excellent luminescence properties, such as long-lived excited states, sharp linear emission bands and large Stokes shift, lanthanides have shown great advantages in luminescence, and have been more and more applied in the design of advanced functional luminescent materials. Based on reported research, we summarize the progress of lanthanide luminescent materials based on different macrocyclic compounds from ion or molecule recognition to functional nano-supramolecular assembly of the lanthanide-macrocycle supramolecular system including photo-reaction mediated switch of lanthanide luminescent molecules, multicolor luminescence, ion detection and cell imaging of rare-earth up-conversion of macrocyclic supramolecular assembly. Finally, we put forward the prospects of future development of lanthanide luminescent macrocyclic supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Two novel stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) were successfully created from bovine serum albumin- or myoglobin-gated upconversion nanoparticle-embedded mesoporous silica nanovehicles (UCNP@mSiO2) via diselenide (Se-Se)-containing linkages. More importantly, multiple roles of each scaffold of the nanovehicles were achieved. The controlled release of the encapsulated drug doxorubicin (DOX) within the mesopores was activated by triple stimuli (acidic pH, glutathione, or H2O2) of tumor microenvironments, owing to the conformation/surface charge changes in proteins or the reductive/oxidative cleavages of the Se-Se bonds. Upon release of DOX, the Förster resonance energy transfer between the UCNP cores and encapsulated DOX was eliminated, resulting in an increase in ratiometric upconversion luminescence for DOX release tracking in real time. The two protein-gated DDSs showed some differences in the drug release performances, relevant to structures and properties of the protein nanogates. The introduction of the Se-Se linkages not only increased the versatility of reductive/oxidative cleavages but also showed less cytotoxicity to all cell lines. The DOX-loaded protein-gated nanovehicles showed the inhibitory effect on tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice and negligible damage/toxicity to the normal tissues. The constructed nanovehicles in a spatiotemporally controlled manner have fascinating prospects in targeted drug delivery for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of new synthetic macrocycles has driven the rapid development of supramolecular chemistry and materials. Pillar[n]arenes, as a new type of macrocyclic compounds, are used as a promising type of building blocks for switchable supramolecular systems due to their versatile functionalization and the ability of binding toward various guest molecules. A number of guests can form inclusion complexes with pillar[n]arenes and their derivatives in solution, which are sensitive to different external triggers. Interestingly, the pursuit of complex stimuli-responsive functional materials and devices has largely motivated the shift of pillar[n]arene-based switches from solution media to surfaces for controllable macroscopic motions on solid platforms. Facilitated by the facile modification of pillar[n]arenes on various solid supports and the dynamic binding of host-guest complexes, numerous functional hybrid materials with adjustable physical or chemical properties and integrated functionalities have been reported in the last decade. Here, the advance of supramolecular switches in solution and on surfaces based on pillar[n]arenes and derivatives with an emphasis on the efforts and the latest contributions from the field is discussed.

Abstract
Multifunctional supramolecular nanoplatforms that integrate the advantages of different therapeutic techniques can trigger multimodal synergistic treatment of tumors, thus representing an emerging powerful tool for cancer therapeutics. Methods: In this work, we design and fabricate a multifunctional supramolecular drug delivery platform, namely Fa-mPEG@CP5-CuS@HMSN-Py nanoparticles (FaPCH NPs), consisting of a pyridinium (Py)-modified hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles-based drug reservoir (HMSN-Py) with high loading capacity, a layer of NIR-operable carboxylatopillar[5]arene (CP5)-functionalized CuS nanoparticles (CP5-CuS) on the surface of HMSN-Py connected through supramolecular host-guest interactions between CP5 rings and Py stalks, and another layer of folic acid (Fa)-conjugated polyethylene glycol (Fa-PEG) antennas by electrostatic interactions capable of active targeting at tumor lesions, in a controlled, highly integrated fashion for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy. Results: Fa-mPEG antennas endowed the enhanced active targeting effect toward cancer cells, and CP5-CuS served as not only a quadruple-stimuli responsive nanogate for controllable drug release but also a special agent for NIR-guided photothermal therapy. Meanwhile, anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) could be released from the HMSN-Py reservoirs under tumor microenvironments for chemotherapy, thus realizing multimodal synergistic therapeutics. Such a supramolecular drug delivery platform showed effective synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion: This novel supramolecular nanoplatform possesses great potential in controlled drug delivery and tumor cellular internalization for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy, providing a promising approach for multimodal synergistic cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this study, a novel aggregation-induced emission supramolecular organic framework (AIE SOF) with ultrasensitive response, termed FSOF, was constructed using a tri-pillar[5]arene-based foldamer. Interestingly, benefiting from the noise signal shielding properties of FSOF as well as the competition between the cationπ and ππ interactions, the FSOF shows an ultrasensitive response for multi-analytes, such as Fe3+, Hg2+ and Cr3+. The limits of detection (LODs) of the FSOF for Fe3+, Hg2+ and Cr3+ are in the range of 9.40 × 10-10-1.86 × 10-9. More importantly, the xerogel of FSOF exhibits porous mesh structures, which could effect high-efficiency separation above metal ions from their aqueous solution, with adsorption percentages in the range 92.39-99.99%. In addition, by introducing metal ions into the FSOF, a series of metal ions coordinated supramolecular organic frameworks (MSOFs) were successfully constructed. Moreover, MSOFs show selective fluorescence "turn on" ultrasensitive detection CN- (LOD = 2.12 × 10-9) and H2PO4- (LOD = 1.78 × 10-9). This is a novel approach to construct SOFs through a tri-pillar[5]arene-based foldamer, and also provides a new way to achieve ultrasensitive detection and high-efficiency separation.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) of type NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4:Yb,Nd were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The luminescence intensity was further enhanced by adding the sensitizer dye IR-808. If water is added to organic solvents [such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and ethanol] containing the probe, its luminescence intensity peaking at 545 nm is reduced. The decrease is linearly related to the percentage of water in the respective organic solvent. Water fractions ranging from 0.05% to 10% (volume %) can be sensitively detected, and the detection limit is 0.018% of water in DMF. The detection scheme is mainly attributed to the fact that the transfer of energy from the near-infrared light (NIR) dye to the UCNPs is strongly reduced in the presence of traces of water. Graphical abstract The near infrared dye (IR-808) transfer efficiency to NaGdF4:Yb, Er@NaGdF4:Yb, Nd upconversion nanoparticles in water is far less than that in organic phase. Several methods for determination of trace water in organic solvents were developed by using this effect.

Abstract
Pillar[n]arenes, which consist of hydroquinone units linked by -CH2- bridges at 2,5-positions, are a relatively new class of synthetic macrocycles since 2008. Their facile preparation and flexible modification properties make them ideal stabilizers for inorganic nanomaterials. Furthermore, their symmetrical and columnar architectures with very rigid and π-rich cavities endow them with rich host-guest properties. This Feature Article provides an overview of the functionalization of inorganic nanomaterials with pillar[n]arenes and their applications. These inorganic nanomaterials are classified into three major classes according to different types of compositions: (1) novel metal nanomaterials; (2) hybrid metal nanomaterials; and (3) porous materials. The applications of these nanomaterials such as catalysis, drug delivery, cancer therapy, and sensing have been comprehensively discussed.
