Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) exhibit potent sonosensitivity in nanocarriers compared with conventional organic sonosensitizers owing to the strong fluorescence emission in the aggregated state. However, the premature drug leakage and ineffective tumor targeting of current AIE nanosonosensitizers critically restrict their clinical applications. Here, an AIEgen-based sonosensitizer (AIE/Biotin-M) with excellent sonosensitivity was developed by assembling salicylaldazine-based amphiphilic polymers (AIE-1) and 4T1 tumor-targeting amphiphilic polymers (DSPE-PEG-Biotin) for the effective delivery of salicylaldazine to 4T1 tumor tissues, aiming to mediate immunogenic SDT. In vitro, AIE/Biotin-M were highly stable and generated plentiful singlet oxygen (1O2) under ultrasound (US) irradiation. After AIE/Biotin-M targeted accumulation in the tumor, upon US irradiation, the generation of 1O2 not only led to cancer cell death, but also elicited a systemically immune response by causing the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of cancer cells. In addition to mediating SDT, AIE/Biotin-M could chelate and reduce Fe3+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ by salicylaldazine for inhibiting neovascularization in tumor tissues. Ultimately, AIE/Biotin-M systemically inhibited tumor growth and metastasis upon US irradiation. This study presents a facile approach to the development of AIE nanosonosensitizers for cancer SDT.

Abstract
Cinnamaldehyde, a natural product that can be extracted from a variety of plants of the genus Cinnamomum, exhibits excellent biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. To overcome the disadvantages (e.g., poor water solubility and sensitivity to light) or enhance the advantages (e.g., high reactivity and promoting cellular reactive oxygen species production) of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde can be loaded into or conjugated with polymers for sustained or controlled release, thereby prolonging the effective action time of its biological activities. Moreover, when cinnamaldehyde is conjugated with a polymer, it can also introduce environmental responsiveness to the polymer through the form of stimuli-sensitive linkages between its aldehyde group and various functional groups of polymers. The environmental responsiveness provides the great potential of cinnamaldehyde-conjugated polymers for applications in the biomedical field. In this review, the strategies for preparing cinnamaldehyde-contained polymers are summarized and their biomedical applications are also reviewed.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active micelles are a type of fluorescent functional materials that exhibit enhanced emissions in the aggregated surfactant state. They have received significant interest due to their excellent fluorescence efficiency in the aggregated state, remarkable processability, and solubility. AIE-active micelles can be designed through the self-assembly of amphipathic AIE luminogens (AIEgens) and the encapsulation of non-emissive amphipathic molecules in AIEgens. Currently, a wide range of AIE-active micelles have been constructed, with a significant increase in research interest in this area. A series of advanced techniques has been used to characterize AIE-active micelles, such as cryogenic-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). This review provides an overview of the synthesis, characterization, and applications of AIE-active micelles, especially their applications in cell and in vivo imaging, biological and organic compound sensors, anticancer drugs, gene delivery, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and photocatalytic reactions, with a focus on the most recent developments. Based on the synergistic effect of micelles and AIE, it is anticipated that this review will guide the development of innovative and fascinating AIE-active micelle materials with exciting architectures and functions in the future.

Abstract
At high concentration or in the aggregated state, most of the traditional luminophores suffer from the general aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, which significantly limits their biomedical applications. On the contrary, a few fluorophores exhibit an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature which is just the opposite of ACQ. The luminophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) have exhibited noteworthy advantages to get tunable emission, excellent photostability, and biocompatibility. Incorporating AIEgens into polymer design has yielded diversified polymer systems with fascinating photophysical characteristics. Again, stimuli-responsive polymers are capable of undergoing chemical and/or physical property changes on receiving signals from single or multiple stimuli. The combination of the AIE property and stimuli responses in a single polymer platform provides a feasible and effective strategy for the development of smart polymers with promising biomedical applications. Herein, the advancements in stimuli-responsive polymers with AIE characteristics for biomedical applications are summarized. AIE-active polymers are first categorized into conventional π-π conjugated and nonconventional fluorophore systems and then subdivided based on various stimuli, such as pH, redox, enzyme, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and temperature. In each section, the design strategies of the smart polymers and their biomedical applications, including bioimaging, cancer theranostics, gene delivery, and antimicrobial examples, are introduced. The current challenges and future perspectives of this field are also stated at the end of this review article.

Abstract
The discovery of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon, significantly altered the understanding of the scientific world about the luminophore aggregation. Polymers with AIE features have recently emerged as promising materials with wide range of applications in optoelectronics devices, chemosensors, bioimaging, cancer theranostics and drug delivery. By introducing the AIE active molecule into the polymer structure, novel materials encompassing the characteristics properties of both the functional materials such as excellent brightness, versatile structure modification, high biocompatibility, exceptional stability and facile processability are achieved. This chapter presents the advances in synthetic design as well as potential biological applications of AIE active polymers, beginning with a brief introduction to the AIE phenomenon. The versatile synthetic route, easier functionalization, and light up feature of the AIE active polymers offer direct visualization of the physiological processes within or outside the living organisms. This chapter also precisely describes the photodynamic therapy/photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT) with up-to-date advancement of AIE active polymer and their emerging applications in biomedical field. The AIE active Photosensitizers (PSs) are much more efficient in singlet oxygen (1O2) production than their small molecule AIE active PSs due to their enhanced inter system crossing (ISC) process and improved light-harvesting ability. Additionally, the present chapter aims to focus on all recent AIE active polymers for drug screening and drug delivery. The AIE active polymer often shows decent drug loading capacity, high stability and good biocompatibility comprising image guided drug monitoring features. Lastly, the concluding discussion reveals the future prospective of the AIE active polymers.

Abstract
Numerous nanocarriers with excellent biocompatibilities have been used to improve cancer therapy. However, nonspecific protein adsorption of nanocarriers may block the modified nanoparticles in tumor cells, which would lead to inefficient cellular internalization. To address this issue, pH-responsive polyurethane prodrug micelles with a zwitterionic segment were designed and prepared. The micelle consisted of a zwitterionic segment as the hydrophilic shell and the drug Adriamycin (DOX) as the hydrophobic inner core. As a pH-responsive antitumor drug delivery system, the prodrug micelles showed high stability in a physiological environment and continuously released the drug under acidic conditions. In addition, the pure polyurethane carrier was demonstrated to be virtually non-cytotoxic by cytotoxicity studies, while the prodrug micelles were more efficient in killing tumor cells compared to PEG-PLGA@DOX. Furthermore, the DOX cellular uptake efficiency of prodrug micelles was proved to be obviously higher than the control group by both flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. This is mainly due to the modification of a zwitterionic segment with PU. The simple design of zwitterionic prodrug micelles provides a new strategy for designing novel antitumor drug delivery systems with enhanced cellular uptake rates.

Abstract
Polynorbornenes, prepared by the ‘living’ and ‘controlled’ ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) method, have emerged as a stimuli-sensitive new class of polymer carriers. Herein, we reported a novel amphiphilic diblock polynorbornene, PNCHO-b-PNTEG, containing active benzaldehyde units, which exhibited good conjugating capacity to amino-containing molecules (e.g., doxorubicin (DOX)) via the pH-sensitive Schiff base linkage. The copolymer and its conjugate with DOX, DOX-PNCHO-b-PNTEG, were adequately analyzed by various techniques including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, gel permeation chromatography, etc. Especially, the formed conjugate of DOX-PNCHO-b-PNTEG could self-assemble into near-spherical micelles with the diameter of 81 ± 10 nm, and exhibit acid-triggered DOX release behavior, and the release rate could be adjusted by changing the environmental pH value. The excellent biological safety of PNCHO-b-PNTEG was further demonstrated by the results from both in vitro toxicity evaluation to murine fibroblast cells (L-929 cells) and in vivo evaluation of acute developmental toxicity and cell death in zebrafish embryos. Hence, the present polynorbornene-based PNCHO-b-PNTEG possesses great potential application as a biocompatible polymeric carrier and could be employed to fabricate various pH-sensitive conjugates.

Abstract
A novel amphiphilic alternating copolymer with thioether side groups (P(MSPA-a-EG)) was synthesized through an amine-epoxy click reaction of 3-(methylthio)propylamine (MSPA) and ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether. P(MSPA-a-EG) was characterized in detail by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transformed infrared, differential scanning calorimeter, and thermogravimetric analysis to confirm the successful synthesis. Due to its amphiphilic structure, P(MSPA-a-EG) could self-assemble into spherical micelles with an average diameter of about 151 nm. As triggered by H2O2, theses micelles could disassemble because hydrophobic thioether groups are transformed to hydrophilic sulfoxide groups in MSPA units. The oxidant disassemble process of micelles was systemically studied by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and 1H NMR measurements. The MTT assay against NIH/3T3 cells indicated that P(MSPA-a-EG) micelles exhibited good biocompatibility. Furthermore, they could be used as smart drug carriers to encapsulate hydrophobic anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) with 4.90% drug loading content and 9.81% drug loading efficiency. In vitro evaluation results indicated that the loaded DOX could be released rapidly, triggered by H2O2. Therefore, such a novel alternating copolymer was expected to be promising candidates for controlled drug delivery and release.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of cancer therapy is to eliminate malignant tumors while causing no damage to normal tissues. In the past decades, numerous nanoagents have been employed for cancer treatment because of their unique properties over traditional molecular drugs. However, lack of selectivity and unwanted therapeutic outcomes have severely limited the therapeutic index of traditional nanodrugs. Recently, a series of nanomaterials that can accumulate in specific organelles (nucleus, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosome, Golgi apparatus) within cancer cells have received increasing interest. These rationally designed nanoagents can either directly destroy the subcellular structures or effectively deliver drugs into the proper targets, which can further activate certain cell death pathways, enabling them to boost the therapeutic efficiency, lower drug dosage, reduce side effects, avoid multidrug resistance, and prevent recurrence. In this Review, the design principles, targeting strategies, therapeutic mechanisms, current challenges, and potential future directions of organelle-targeted nanomaterials will be introduced.
