Abstract
For decades now, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has been investigated to realize its potential as a niche biomedical imaging modality. Despite its highly desirable optical contrast and ultrasonic spatiotemporal resolution, PAI is challenged by such physical limitations as a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), diminished image contrast due to strong optical attenuation, and a lower-bound on spatial resolution in deep tissue. In addition, contrast-enhanced PAI has faced practical limitations such as insufficient cell-specific targeting due to low delivery efficiency and difficulties in developing clinically translatable agents. Identifying these limitations is essential to the continuing expansion of the field, and substantial advances in developing contrast-enhancing agents, complemented by high-performance image acquisition systems, have synergistically dealt with the challenges of conventional PAI. This review covers the past four years of research on pushing the physical and practical challenges of PAI in terms of SNR/contrast, spatial resolution, targeted delivery, and clinical application. Promising strategies for dealing with each challenge are reviewed in detail, and future research directions for next generation contrast-enhanced PAI are discussed.

Abstract
AbstractRecently, nanocarriers, including micelles, polymers, carbon-based materials, liposomes, and other substances, have been developed for efficient delivery of drugs, nucleotides, and biomolecules. This review focuses on graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as active components in nanocarriers, because their chemical structures and easy functionalization can be valuable assets for in vitro and in vivo delivery. Herein, we describe the preparation, structure, and functionalization of GO and rGO. Additionally, their important properties to function as nanocarriers are presented, including their molecular interactions with various compounds, near-infrared light adsorption, and biocompatibility. Subsequently, their mechanisms and the most appealing examples of their delivery applications are summarized. Overall, GO- and rGO-based nanocomposites show great promise as multipurpose nanocarriers owing to their various potential applications in drug and gene delivery, phototherapy, bioimaging, biosensing, tissue engineering, and as antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a nonionizing, noninvasive imaging technique that combines optical and ultrasonic imaging modalities to provide images with excellent contrast, spatial resolution, and penetration depth. Exogenous PA contrast agents are created to increase the sensitivity and specificity of PA imaging and to offer diagnostic information for illnesses. The existing PA contrast agents are categorized into two groups in this review: "always-on" and "turn-on," based on their ability to be triggered by target molecules. The present state of these probes, their merits and limitations, and their future development, is explored.

Abstract
As a non-invasive imaging monitoring method, molecular imaging can provide the location and expression level of disease signature biomolecules in vivo, leading to early diagnosis of relevant diseases, improved treatment strategies, and accurate assessment of treating efficacy. In recent years, a variety of nanosized imaging probes have been developed and intensively investigated in fundamental/translational research and clinical practice. Meanwhile, as an interdisciplinary discipline, this field combines many subjects of chemistry, medicine, biology, radiology, and material science, etc. The successful molecular imaging not only requires advanced imaging equipment, but also the synthesis of efficient imaging probes. However, limited summary has been reported for recent advances of nanoprobes. In this paper, we summarized the recent progress of three common and main types of nanosized molecular imaging probes, including ultrasound (US) imaging nanoprobes, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nanoprobes, and computed tomography (CT) imaging nanoprobes. The applications of molecular imaging nanoprobes were discussed in details. Finally, we provided an outlook on the development of next generation molecular imaging nanoprobes.

Abstract
Administrating pharmaceutic agents efficiently to achieve the therapeutic effect is the aim of all drug delivery techniques. Recent drug delivery systems aim to deliver high doses of drugs to disease sites accurately while maximizing therapeutic effects and minimizing potential side effects. Key approaches apply image guidance techniques for the quantification of drug biodistribution and pharmacokinetic parameters during drug delivery. This review highlights recent research on image-guided drug delivery systems based on photoacoustic imaging, which has been attracting attention for its non-invasiveness, non-ionizing radiation, and real-time imaging functions. Photoacoustic imaging based on the photothermal conversion efficiency of agents can be easily combined with various phototherapeutics, making them highly suitable for drug delivery therapy platforms. Here, we summarize and compare the characteristics of various types of photoacoustic imaging systems, focus on contrast-enhanced photoacoustic imaging and controlled release of therapeutics in drug delivery systems for synergistic therapies.

Abstract
The construction of nanoplatforms with combined photothermal properties and cascading enzymatic activities has become an active area of anticancer research. However, the overheating of photothermal therapy (PTT) and the specific properties of tumor microenvironment (TME) greatly impaired the therapeutic efficiency. Herein, we rationally fabricated a virus-like SiOx/CeO2/VOx (SCV) nanoplatform for 1064 nm near-infrared (NIR) triggered mild-temperature PTT and nanozyme catalytic therapy. Firstly, the virus-like shape of SiOx/CeO2/VOx made it favorable for cell adhesion and improved its phagocytosis in cells, and the SCV generated an effective PTT effect upon 1064 nm laser irradiation. Particularly, the produced VO2+ in TME could be used as a heat shock protein inhibitor to inhibit the expression of heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) to enhance the PTT efficiency. Moreover, the SCV nanozyme exhibited obvious peroxidase-mimic (POD) catalytic activity, which could generate highly toxic free radical ions (˙OH) under acidic conditions. The mild-temperature heat and ˙OH produced by enzymatic catalysis effectively blocked the tumor growth, as verified firmly by in vitro and in vivo tests. Our designed virus-like SCV nanozyme with POD mimic enzyme activity and a mild photothermal effect may provide a new way of thinking about the combination therapy model.

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 cancer-mitochondria dual-targeting nanoparticle based on lactose and ferrocenium derivatives conjugated polydopamine (PDA@Lac/Fc/Hyp) was constructed, which exhibited cancer-targeting and mitochondria-targeting ability deriving from lactose and ferrocenium derivatives due to the specific carbohydrate-protein interaction and cationic species properties, respectively. Moreover, PDA@Lac/Fc/Hyp showed great biocompatibility and phototherapeutic efficiency. This work displays a good example of constructing cancer-mitochondria dual-targeting nanoparticle for synergistic phototherapy.

Abstract
The field of theranostics has been rapidly growing in recent years and nanotechnology has played a major role in this growth. Nanomaterials can be constructed to respond to a variety of different stimuli which can be internal (enzyme activity, redox potential, pH changes, temperature changes) or external (light, heat, magnetic fields, ultrasound). Theranostic nanomaterials can respond by producing an imaging signal and/or a therapeutic effect, which frequently involves cell death. Since ultrasound (US) is already well established as a clinical imaging modality, it is attractive to combine it with rationally designed nanoparticles for theranostics. The mechanisms of US interactions include cavitation microbubbles (MBs), acoustic droplet vaporization, acoustic radiation force, localized thermal effects, reactive oxygen species generation, sonoluminescence, and sonoporation. These effects can result in the release of encapsulated drugs or genes at the site of interest as well as cell death and considerable image enhancement. The present review discusses US-responsive theranostic nanomaterials under the following categories: MBs, micelles, liposomes (conventional and echogenic), niosomes, nanoemulsions, polymeric nanoparticles, chitosan nanocapsules, dendrimers, hydrogels, nanogels, gold nanoparticles, titania nanostructures, carbon nanostructures, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, fuel-free nano/micromotors.

Abstract
Two-dimensional MoS2 is emerging as a unique platform for a wide range of biomedical applications including extracellular matrix mimics, drug delivery systems and antimicrobial agents. However, low processability and nonspecific interactions at biointerfaces are serious challenges that hamper the biomedical applications of this nanomaterial. Herein, we show how specific interactions between MoS2 and a gelatin matrix results in a biomimetic hydrogel with the self-healing and molecular recognition properties. β-Cyclodextrin was conjugated to the surface of freshly exfoliated MoS2 through a one pot nucleophilic substitution reaction and the obtained cyclodextrin-functionalized MoS2 was used to construct an injectable, self-healable and flexible supramolecular hydrogel upon host-guest interactions with adamantane-modified gelatin matrix. Incorporation of almost 1 wt% of CDMoS2 into gelatin matrix with 1cm2 cross-section resulted in a hydrogel that was able to tolerate one hundred grams. Also, storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G″) of the obtained hydrogel was 10 and 25 times higher than that for the neat gelatin, respectively. Due to its self-healing, molecular recognition and mechanical properties as well as its flexibility, injectability, and processability, MoS2gel is a promising candidate for a wide range of future biomedical applications including extracellular matrix mimics and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising and spatiotemporally controllable cancer treatment modality. However, serious skin photosensitization during the PDT process limits the clinical application of PDT. Thus, the construction of "smart" and multifunctional photosensitizers has attracted substantial interest. Herein, we develop a mitochondria-targeting and pH-switched hybrid supramolecular photosensitizer by the host-guest interaction. The PDT efficacy of supramolecular photosensitizers can be quenched by the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect during long circulation and activated by the dissociation of supramolecular photosensitizers in an acidic tumor microenvironment, benefitting from the dynamic feature of the host-guest interaction and pH responsiveness of the water-soluble pillar[5]arene on gold nanoparticles. The rational integration of mitochondria-targeting and reductive glutathione (GSH) elimination in the hybrid switchable supramolecular photosensitizer prolongs the lifetime of reactive oxygen species generated in the PDT near mitochondria and further amplifies the PDT efficacy. Thus, the facile and versatile construction of switchable supramolecular photosensitizer offers not only the targeted and precise phototherapy but also high therapeutic efficacy, which would provide a new path for the clinic application of PDT.

Abstract
In the present work, we have developed a facile one-step route for preparing electrochemically reduced graphene oxide-cationic pillar[6]arene (ErGO-CP6) nanocomposite films on glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) directly from graphene oxide-cationic pillar[6]arene (GO-CP6) colloidal solution by using a pulsed electrodeposition technique. The electrocatalytic activity of ErGO-CP6 was examined by studying the oxidations of five purine bases [adenine (A), guanine (G), xanthine (X), hypoxanthine (HX), and uric acid (UA)]. It enhanced the oxidation currents of A, G, X, HX, and UA when compared to unmodified ErGO films and bare GCE, which is considered to be the synergetic effects of the graphene (excellent electrical properties and large surface area) and CP6 molecules (high inclusion complexation and enrichment capability).

Abstract
Microbubbles (MBs) stabilized by particle surfactants (i.e., Pickering bubbles) have better thermodynamic stability compared to MBs stabilized by small molecules as a result of steric hindrance against coalescence, higher diffusion resistance, and higher particle desorption energy. In addition, the use of particles to stabilize MBs that are typically used as an ultrasound (US) contrast agent can also introduce photoacoustic (PA) properties, thus enabling a highly effective dual-modality US and PA contrast agent. Here, we report the use of partially reduced and functionalized graphene oxide as the sole surfactant to stabilize perfluorocarbon gas bubbles in the preparation of a dual-modality US and PA agent, with high contrast in both imaging modes and without the need for small-molecule or polymer additives. This approach offers an increase in loading of the PA agent without destabilization and increased thickness of the MB shell compared to traditional systems, in which the focus is on adding a PA agent to existing MB formulations.

Abstract
Pillararene-modified graphene materials integrate the advantages of both graphene and pillararenes; e.g., the cavity of pillararenes can recognise suitably sized electron-deficient and hydrophobic guest molecules via host–guest interactions, while the graphene composite is able to exhibit unique physiochemical properties including inertness, nanoscale, electrical and thermal structural properties. Those novel organic–inorganic hybrid composites can be efficiently prepared via both covalent and noncovalent bonds by classic organic reactions and supramolecular interactions, respectively. Pillararene-functionalised graphene materials have been used in various applications, such as electrochemical sensing guest molecules, performing as the platform for fluorescent probes, carrying out fluorescence quenching as the sensor, biosensing toxic molecules in cells, Raman and fluorescence bioimaging of cancer cells, photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging, as well as storage materials and reactors in energy fields. The current research progress on diverse pillararene derivative functionalised graphene materials, including different synthesis strategies and various applications, is reviewed.![]()

Abstract
Gas-involving cancer theranostics have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their high therapeutic efficacy and biosafety. We have reviewed the recent significant advances in the development of stimuli-responsive gas releasing molecules (GRMs) and gas nanogenerators for cancer bioimaging, targeted and controlled gas therapy, and gas-sensitized synergistic therapy. We have focused on gases with known anticancer effects, such as oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen (H2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and heavy gases that act via the gas-generating process. The GRMs and gas nanogenerators for each gas have been described in terms of the stimulation method, followed by their applications in ultrasound and multimodal imaging, and finally their primary and synergistic actions with other cancer therapeutic modalities. The current challenges and future possibilities of gas therapy and imaging vis-à-vis clinical translation have also been discussed.

Abstract
Liver cancer is a kind of lethal and aggressive malignant neoplasm with a high rate of relapse and metastasis after therapy. An important cause for the relapse and metastasis is the existence of liver cancer stem cells (CSCs), which have high resistance to chemotherapy and high tumorigenic potential. Therefore, it is crucial to develop new methods to eradicate CSCs in tumors. Herein, we develop a photodynamic therapy (PDT) that features bimodal metallacage-loaded nanoparticles (MNPs) for integrated chemotherapy. This platform achieves chemo-photodynamic combinational therapy. Organoplatinum(ii) metallacage-loaded nanoparticles show excellent ability to kill liver CSCs, decreasing their mobility and sphenoid formation ability under near-infrared laser irradiation. Importantly, MNPs can successfully penetrate into 3D tumor spheroids, which display higher drug resistance compared to traditional 2D cultured cells. This destroys CSCs and prevents subsequent tumor formation in vivo. With the excellent combinational therapeutic results in hand, the working mechanisms of MNPs were then studied. MNPs under NIR light irradiation can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in damage of mitochondrial membrane and subsequent cell apoptosis with chemotherapeutic platinum. This study proves the great potential of MNPs for combinational cancer therapy, providing a new insight for the next generation of nanomedicines.

Abstract
With the rapid development of supramolecular chemistry and nanomaterials, supramolecular nanotheranostics has attracted remarkable attention owing to the advantages compared with conventional medicine. Supramolecular architectures relying on non-covalent interactions possess reversible and stimuli-responsive features; endowing supramolecular nanotheranostics based on supramolecular assemblies great potentials for the fabrication of integrated novel nanomedicines and controlled drug delivery systems. In particular, pillarenes, as a relatively new class of synthetic macrocycles, are important candidates in the construction of supramolecular therapeutic systems due to their excellent features such as rigid and symmetric structures, facile substitution, and unique host-guest properties. This review summarizes the development of pillarene-based supramolecular nanotheranostics for applications in biological mimicking, virus inhibition, cancer therapy, and diagnosis, which contains the following two major parts: (a) pillarene-based hybrid supramolecular nanotheranostics upon hybridizing with porous materials such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, metal nanoparticles, and other inorganic materials; (b) pillarene-based organic supramolecular therapeutic systems that include supramolecular amphiphilic systems, artificial channels, and prodrugs based on host-guest complexes. Finally, perspectives on how pillarene-based supramolecular nanotheranostics will advance the field of pharmaceuticals and therapeutics are given.

Abstract
Macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, exhibit unparalleled advantages in disease diagnosis and therapy over the past years by fully taking advantage of their host-guest molecular recognitions. The dynamic nature of the non-covalent interactions and selective host-guest complexation endow the resultant nanomaterials with intriguing properties, holding promising potentials in theranostic fields. Interestingly, the differences in microenvironment between the abnormal and normal cells/tissues can be employed as the stimuli to modulate the host-guest interactions, realizing the purpose of precise diagnosis and specific delivery of drugs to lesion sites. In this review, we summarize the progress of supramolecular theranostics on the basis of host-guest chemistry benefiting from their fantastic topological structures and outstanding supramolecular chemistry. These state-of-the-art examples provide new methodologies to overcome the obstacles faced by the traditional theranostic systems, promoting their clinical translations.

Enzyme-responsive multifunctional peptide coating of gold nanorods improves tumor targeting and photothermal therapy efficacy. Acta Biomater 2019; 86:363-372.

Abstract
It is well known that stealth coating effectively extends the circulation lifetime of nanomaterials in blood, which favors systemic delivery but also limits their cellular internalization and in turn prevents efficient tumor-targeting and accumulation. In this study, we address this dilemma by developing an enzyme-responsive zwitterionic stealth peptide coating capable of responding to matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) which is overexpressed in tumor microenvironment. The peptide consists of a cell-penetrating Tat sequence, an MMP-9 cleavable sequence, and a zwitterionic antifouling sequence. Using this coating to protect photothermal gold nanorods (AuNRs), we found that responsive AuNRs showed both satisfactory systemic circulation lifetime and significantly enhanced cellular uptake in tumors, resulting in clearly improved photothermal therapeutic efficacy in mouse models. These results suggest that multifunctional peptide coated AuNRs sensitive to MMP-9 are promising nanomaterials, conferring both extended systemic circulation and enhanced tumor tissue accumulation, for more specific and efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging as a fast-developing imaging technique has great potential in biomedical and clinical applications. It is a noninvasive imaging modality that depends on the light-absorption coefficient of the imaged tissue and the injected PA-imaging contrast agents. Furthermore, PA imaging provides superb contrast, super spatial resolution, and high penetrability and sensitivity to tissue functional characteristics by detecting the acoustic wave to construct PA images. In recent years, a series of PA-imaging contrast agents are developed to improve the PA-imaging performance in biomedical applications. Here, recent progress of PA contrast agents and their biomedical applications are outlined. PA contrast agents are classified according to their components and function, and gold nanocrystals, gold-nanocrystal assembly, transition-metal chalcogenides/MXene-based nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, other inorganic imaging agents, small organic molecules, semiconducting polymer nanoparticles, and nonlinear PA-imaging contrast agents are discussed. The applications of PA contrast agents as biosensors (in the sensing of metal ions, pH, enzymes, temperature, hypoxia, reactive oxygen species, and reactive nitrogen species) and in bioimaging (lymph nodes, vasculature, tumors, and brain tissue) are discussed in detail. Finally, an outlook on the future research and investigation of PA-imaging contrast agents and their significance in biomedical research is presented.
