Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging porous materials that can serve as carriers of photosensitizers and photothermal agents. Meanwhile, a large number of active sites in MOFs endow them with the characteristics of modification by postsynthetic modification. Herein, a dual-modal PDT/PTT therapeutic agent HMIL-121-acriflavine-tetrakis (4-amoniophenyl) porphyrin (HMIL-ACF-Por), prepared by the postsynthetic modification of the MOF (HMIL-121), was reported for antibacterial applications. The prepared HMIL-ACF-Por enables the generation of abundant reactive oxygen species, including the superoxide anion radical (O2-) and singlet oxygen (1O2), and thermal energy under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. HMIL-ACF-Por showed good antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. Meanwhile, HMIL-ACF-Por can effectively inhibit the inflammatory response caused by bacterial infection and accelerate S. aureus-infected wound healing under laser irradiation owing to the synergistic effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). These results demonstrate that HMIL-ACF-Por is a promising PDT/PTT therapeutic agent. This work also contributes to offering an effective solution for treating bacterial infections and promotes the application of MOF-based materials in biomedicine.

Abstract
The study of a macromolecule derived from DPP and triphenylamine, (DPP-BisTPA) by computational chemistry, its synthesis by direct arylation, optical characterization (UV-Vis and fluorescence) and electrochemistry (cyclic voltammetry), as well as its evaluation as a generator of reactive oxygen species indirectly, through the degradation of uric acid. The results obtained by DFT using B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) and TD-DFT using CAM-B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) reveal values of energy levels of the first singlet and triplet excited state that indicate a possible intersystem crossover and the possible generation of reactive oxygen species by a type I mechanism. The compound presents an absorption region within the phototherapeutic window. The electrochemical bandgap is 1.64 eV which suggests a behavior as a semiconductor. DPP-BisTPa were processed as hemispherical nanoparticles with a size around 100 nm, and NPOs were evaluated as a photosensitizer with a ROS generation yield of 4% using a photodynamic therapy flashlight as the light source.

Abstract
The self-assembly and stimuli-responsive properties of nanogel poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) (p(NIPAm)) and zwitterion-modified nanogel poly(n-isopropylacrylamide-co-sulfobetainemethacrylate) (p(NIPAm-co-SBMA)) were explored by dissipative particle dynamics simulations. Simulation results reveal that for both types of nanogel, it is beneficial to form spherical nanogels at polymer concentrations of 5-10%. When the chain length (L) elongates from 10 to 40, the sizes of the nanogels enlarge. As for the p(NIPAm) nanogel, it shows thermoresponsiveness; when it switches to the hydrophilic state, the nanogel swells, and vice versa. The zwitterion-modified nanogel p(NIPAm-co-SBMA) possesses thermoresponsiveness and ionic strength responsiveness concurrently. At 293 K, both hydrophilic p(NIPAm) and superhydrophilic polysulfobetaine methacrylate (pSBMA) could appear on the outer surface of the nanogel; however, at 318 K, superhydrophilic pSBMA is on the outer surface to cover the hydrophobic p(NIPAm) core. As the temperature rises, the nanogel shrinks and remains antifouling all through. The salt-responsive property can be reflected by the nanogel size; the volumes of the nanogels in saline systems are larger than those in salt-free systems as the ionic condition inhibits the shrinkage of the zwitterionic pSBMA. This work exhibits the temperature-responsive and salt-responsive behavior of zwitterion-modified-pNIPAm nanogels at the molecular level and provides guidance in antifouling nanogel design.

Abstract
The development of luminescent materials is critical to humankind. The Nobel Prizes awarded in 2008 and 2010 for research on the development of green fluorescent proteins and super-resolved fluorescence imaging are proof of this (2014). Fluorescent probes, smart polymer machines, fluorescent chemosensors, fluorescence molecular thermometers, fluorescent imaging, drug delivery carriers, and other applications make fluorescent polymers (FPs) exciting materials. Two major branches can be distinguished in the field: (1) macromolecules with fluorophores in their structure and (2) aggregation-induced emission (AIE) FPs. In the first, the polymer (which may be conjugated) contains a fluorophore, conferring photoluminescent properties to the final material, offering tunable structures, robust mechanical properties, and low detection limits in sensing applications when compared to small-molecule or inorganic luminescent materials. In the latter, AIE FPs use a novel mode of fluorescence dependent on the aggregation state. AIE FP intra- and intermolecular interactions confer synergistic effects, improving their properties and performance over small molecules aggregation-induced, emission-based fluorescent materials (AIEgens). Despite their outstanding advantages (over classic polymers) of high emission efficiency, signal amplification, good processability, and multiple functionalization, AIE polymers have received less attention. This review examines some of the most significant advances in the broad field of FPs over the last six years, concluding with a general outlook and discussion of future challenges to promote advancements in these promising materials that can serve as a springboard for future innovation in the field.

Abstract
Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based nanomedicines are perplexed by the challenges of oxidation damage, immune responses after repeated injections, and limited excretion from the body. As an alternative to PEG, bioinspired zwitterions bearing an identical number of positive and negative ions, exhibit exceptional hydrophilicity, excellent biomimetic nature and chemical malleability, endowing zwitterionic nano-vectors with biocompatibility, non-fouling feature, extended blood circulation and multifunctionality. In this review, we innovatively classify zwitterionic nano-vectors into linear, hyperbranched, crosslinked, and hybrid nanoparticles according to different chemical architectures in rational design of zwitterionic nano-vectors for enhanced drug delivery with an emphasis on zwitterionic engineering innovations as alternatives of PEG-based nanomedicines. Through combination with other nanostratagies, the intelligent zwitterionic nano-vectors can orchestrate stealth and other biological functionalities together to improve the efficacy in the whole journey of drug delivery.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of single-molecule amphiphilic and multifunctional phototherapeutic agents are important to cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this work, we developed three amphiphilic diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives (TPADPP, DTPADPP, and TPADDPP) with different donor-acceptor structures and poly(ethylene glycol) side chains. The corresponding nanoparticles (NPs) were obtained via a self-assembly from three amphiphilic DPP derivatives and used as smart phototherapeutic agents for tumor diagnosis and treatment. The three amphiphilic DPP NPs exhibited near-infrared (NIR) emissions and good biocompatibility. Thus, they could be used as fluorescence (FL) imaging agents for guided therapy. DTPADPP NPs and TPADDPP NPs also displayed excellent photothermal performance and high accumulation in the tumor. Owing to these beneficial features, the DTPADPP NPs and TPADDPP NPs synthesized herein are suitable for NIR FL imaging and effective photothermal therapy against the tumor in vivo.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced phototherapy through NIR agents has demonstrated the great potential for cancer therapy. However, insufficient tumor killing due to the nonuniform heat or cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) distribution over tumors from phototherapy results in tumor recurrence and inferior outcomes. To achieve high tumor killing efficacy, one of the solutions is to employ the combinational treatment of phototherapy with other modalities, especially with chemotherapeutic agents. In this paper, a simple and effective multimodal therapeutic system was designed via combining chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to achieve the polytherapy of malignant glioma which is one of the most aggressive tumors in the brain. IR-780 (IR780) dye-labeled tube-forming peptoids (PepIR) were synthesized and self-assembled into crystalline nanotubes (PepIR nanotubes). These PepIR nanotubes showed an excellent efficacy for PDT/PTT because the IR780 photosensitizers were effectively packed and separated from each other within crystalline nanotubes by tuning IR780 density; thus, a self-quenching of these IR780 molecules was significantly reduced. Moreover, the efficient DOX loading achieved due to the nanotube large surface area contributed to an efficient and synergistic chemotherapy against glioma cells. Given the unique properties of peptoids and peptoid nanotubes, we believe that the developed multimodal DOX-loaded PepIR nanotubes in this work offer great promises for future glioma therapy in clinic.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is promising for augmenting cancer therapeutic outcomes in cancer treatment. Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-conjugated polymer nanoparticles are in focus due to their dual photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy functions. Herein, the design and synthesis of three near-infrared absorbing conjugated polymers, named DPP-SO, DPP-SS and DPP-SSe, with heteroatom substitution of the thiophene moiety were developed for a photoacoustic imaging guided photothermal therapy. It was demonstrated that systematically changing only the heteroatom from O to S or Se could apparently adjust the absorption spectrum and energy gap of DPP-conjugated polymers to obtain the most suitable photothermal transduction agents (PTAs) for use in biomedicine. The characterization of photophysical properties proved that the photothermal conversion efficiency and absorption coefficient of DPP-SO nanoparticles under 808 nm irradiation was up to 79.3% and 66.51 L g-1 cm-1, respectively, which were much higher than those of DPP-SS and DPP-SSe nanoparticles. Remarkably, the IC50 value of DPP-SO for killing A549 cells was half that of DPP-SS and DPP-SSe nanoparticles. Further in vivo works demonstrated efficient photothermal therapeutic effects of DPP-SO nanoparticles with the guidance of photoacoustic imaging. Thus, this is an efficient method to regulate the photothermal performance of DPP-conjugated polymers by changing the heteroatom in the molecular skeleton.

Abstract
Molecular isomerization is a fundamental issue in the development of functional materials, with a crucial impact on photophysical properties. However, up to now, their effect on photothermal conversion is rarely investigated. Here, two near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing regioisomer conjugated polymers integrated with cis/trans-terselenophenes are designed and synthesized as efficient photothermal agents to enhance cancer phototheranostics. It is demonstrated that enhanced quinoidal resonance of trans-terselenophenes allows the resulting trans-CP to possess more planar backbone to further increase the effective conjugation length and result in the strong absorption spectra at 808 nm. Characterization of photophysical properties has proved that the photothermal conversion efficiency of trans-CP nanoparticles is up to 61.4%, and they are 210% as strong as cis-CP nanoparticles (29.4%). Further in vitro and in vivo works demonstrate efficient photothermal therapeutic effects with the guidance of photoacoustic imaging. This work affords a new understanding of the molecular isomerization into the development of conjugated materials for high-performance cancer phototheranostics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective noninvasive therapeutic method that employs photosensitizers (PSs) converting oxygen to highly cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) under light irradiation. The conventional PDT efficacy is, however, compromised by the nonspecific delivery of PSs to tumor tissue, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, and the reduction of generated 1O2 by the intracellular antioxidant glutathione (GSH). Herein, an intelligent multifunctional synergistic nanoplatform (CMGCC) for T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided enhanced PDT is presented, which consists of nanoparticles composed of catalase (CAT) and manganese dioxide (MnO2) that are integrated within chlorin-e6-modified glycol chitosan (GC) polymeric micelles. In this system, (1) GC polymers with pH-sensitive surface charge switchability from neutral to positive could improve the PS accumulation within the tumor region, (2) CAT could effectively reoxygenate the hypoxic tumor via catalyzing endogenous hydrogen peroxide to O2, and (3) MnO2 could consume the intracellular GSH while simultaneously producing Mn2+ as a contrast agent for T1-weighted MR imaging. The CMGCC particles possess uniform size distribution, well-defined structure, favorable enzyme activity, and superior 1O2 generation ability. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that the CMGCC exhibit significantly enhanced PDT efficacy toward HeLa cells and subcutaneous HeLa tumors. Our study thereby demonstrates this to be a promising synergistic theranostic nanoplatform with highly efficient PDT performance for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Noble metal-based nanomaterials offer great potential as cargoes for multifunctional cancer treatment. In this research, Au eyeball-like nanoparticles (NPs) with open-mouthed Pd shells were synthesized and their surface was functionalized with cell-targeting ligand folic acid (FA) and photodynamic agent Chlorin e6 (Ce6). Due to the broad near-infrared (NIR) absorption band of eyeball-like bimetallic Au and Pd, the photothermal therapy effects of this nanomaterial were studied in MCF-7 cancer cells. The anchored Ce6 not only addressed the hypoxia issue of tumor cells but also exhibited remarkable photodynamic efficacy upon irradiation. Results showed that the obtained Au@Pd-PEG-FA-Ce6 (APPFC) NPs were selectively accumulated at the tumor site and induced cell apoptosis effectively due to the target specificity and synergistic phototherapy effect. The high specificity, desirable biosafety, fast delivery, and drug functionalization demonstrated eyeball-like Au@Pd NPs are promising candidate for multifunctional therapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is a new strategy for combating cancer that integrates cancer imaging and treatment through theranostic agents to provide an efficient and safe way to improve cancer prognosis. Design and synthesis of these cancer theranostic agents are crucial since these agents are required to be biocompatible, tumor-specific, imaging distinguishable and therapeutically efficacious. In this regard, several types of gadolinium (Gd)-based nanomaterials have been introduced to combine different therapeutic agents with Gd to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic agents. At the same time, the entire treatment procedure could be monitored via imaging tools due to incorporation of Gd ions, Gd chelates and Gd/other imaging probes in the theranostic agents. This review aims to overview recent advances in the Gd-based nanomaterials for cancer theranostics and perspectives for Gd nanomaterial-based cancer theranostics are provided.

Abstract
A novel photosensitizer BDPI-lyso has been developed for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The photosensitizer BDPI-lyso showed a high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ = 0.95) and low fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF = 0.05) in EtOH. Different singlet oxygen quantum yields were found in acidic solution (pH = 5, ΦΔ = 0.51) and in neutral solution (pH = 7, ΦΔ = 0.38). DFT and TD-DFT calculations of BDPI-lyso and its protonated product BDPI-lysoH+ indicated that the S1/T3 transition was responsible for the intersystem crossing (ISC) enhancement which would promote the production of singlet oxygen. The negligible dark cytotoxicity toward the hepatoma cell line Bel-7402 was confirmed by MTT assay, AO/EB dual staining, and cell images. Upon exposure to a low dose of light illumination, the disruption of the cell plasma membrane and the calculated half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.4 μM showed a high phototoxicity of the photosensitizer BDPI-lyso. The light-induced intracellular ROS generation was verified as the PDT mechanism of BDPI-lyso. Colocalization experiments of LysoTracker Green and BDPI-lyso in the dark indicated the good lysosome-targeting ability of BDPI-lyso. The images of cells costained with LysoTracker Green and BDPI-lyso, and the appearance of intracellular and extracellular blebs with green fluorescence after light illumination revealed the light-induced dysfunction of lysosomes and cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Despite the excellent photodynamic and photothermal properties of organic molecular photosensitizers (PSs) and photothermal agents (PTAs), such as porphyrin and naphthalocyanine, their poor water solubility severely impedes their biological applications. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as an emerging class of organic crystalline porous materials, possess free active end groups (bonding defects) and large inner pores, which make them an ideal type of nanocarriers for loading hydrophobic organic molecular PSs and PTAs by both bonding defect functionalization (BDF) and guest encapsulation approaches to obtain multifunctional nanomedicines for PDT/PTT combination therapy. In this work, we report a nanoscale COF (NCOF) prepared via a facile synthetic approach under ambient conditions. Furthermore, a dual-modal PDT/PTT therapeutic nanoagent, VONc@COF-Por (3), is successfully fabricated by stepwise BDF and guest encapsulation processes. The covalently grafted porphyrinic PS (Por) and the noncovalently loaded naphthalocyanine PTA (VONc) are independently responsible for the PDT and PTT functionalities of the nanoagent. Upon visible (red LED) and NIR (808 nm laser) irradiation, VONc@COF-Por (3) displayed high 1O2 generation and photothermal conversion ability (55.9%), consequently providing an excellent combined PDT/PTT therapeutic effect on inhibiting MCF-7 tumor cell proliferation and metastasis, which was well evidenced by in vitro and in vivo experiments. We believe that the results obtained herein can significantly promote the development of NCOF-based multifunctional nanomedicines for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The nonradiative conversion of light energy into heat (photothermal therapy, PTT) or sound energy (photoacoustic imaging, PAI) has been intensively investigated for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, respectively. By taking advantage of nanocarriers, both imaging and therapeutic functions together with enhanced tumour accumulation have been thoroughly studied to improve the pre-clinical efficiency of PAI and PTT. In this review, we first summarize the development of inorganic and organic nano photothermal transduction agents (PTAs) and strategies for improving the PTT outcomes, including applying appropriate laser dosage, guiding the treatment via imaging techniques, developing PTAs with absorption in the second NIR window, increasing photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), and also increasing the accumulation of PTAs in tumours. Second, we introduce the advantages of combining PTT with other therapies in cancer treatment. Third, the emerging applications of PAI in cancer-related research are exemplified. Finally, the perspectives and challenges of PTT and PAI for combating cancer, especially regarding their clinical translation, are discussed. We believe that PTT and PAI having noteworthy features would become promising next-generation non-invasive cancer theranostic techniques and improve our ability to combat cancers.

Abstract
We introduce a novel strategy to enhance the fluorescence brightness of organic-molecule-based nanoparticles in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) by fabricating J-aggregate nanoparticles SQP-NPs(J). Our prepared J-aggregate nanoparticles SQP-NPs(J) show an emission maximum near 1100 nm, and the emission intensity is 4.8-fold higher than that of H-aggregate SQP-NPs(H). In addition, SQP-NPs(J) can be used for NIR-II imaging guided photothermal therapy on MCF-7 tumor-bearing mice due to the fact that SQP-NPs(J) have highly effective photothermal properties, which are significant for precise tumor diagnostics and treatments.
