Abstract
Bacteria-infected wound healing is one of the most challenging issues in health management that is attracting worldwide concerns. Despite great achievements with antibiotics, emergence of antibiotic-resistance retarded the wound healing process and also led to severe outcomes. Exploration of novel antibiotics together with amelioration of wound healing efficacy is desirable. Herein, a degradable microneedle patch (AAZH@MNs) was fabricated through incorporating near-infrared light responsive photothermal agents for sustained bacteria killing and prevention of biofilm formation. In addition, the antibacterial microneedle patch could even remold the microenvironment of bacteria-infected wounds through an antibacterial effect, significantly facilitating the wound healing process.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by joint inflammation and destruction. Current treatments, such as Methotrexate (MTX), though effective, often face limitations such as high plasma Cmax and lack of sustained release. This study explores a synergistic approach to RA therapy using folate-liposomal co-delivery of MTX and RELA siRNA (short interfering RNA), targeting RAW264.7 macrophage repolarization via nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway inhibition. Extensive in vitro characterizations demonstrate the stability and biocompatibility of this therapy via folate-liposomes. In the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model, treatment leads to reduced synovial inflammation and improved mobility. The combined MTX and RELA siRNA approach indirectly inhibits inflammatory cytokines, rheumatoid factor (RF), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Targeted macrophage delivery shows marked therapeutic effects in RAW264.7 murine macrophages, potentially modulating M1 to M2 polarization. This research presents a promising avenue for innovative RA therapies by inhibiting the inflammatory cascade and preventing joint damage.

Abstract
Complex metal nanostructures represent an exceptional category of materials characterized by distinct morphologies and physicochemical properties. Nanostructures with shape anisotropies, such as nanorods, nanostars, nanocages, and nanoprisms, are particularly appealing due to their tunable surface plasmon resonances, controllable surface chemistries, and effective targeting capabilities. These complex nanostructures can absorb light in the near-infrared, enabling noteworthy applications in nanomedicine, molecular imaging, and biology. The engineering of targeting abilities through surface modifications involving ligands, antibodies, peptides, and other agents potentiates their effects. Recent years have witnessed the development of innovative structures with diverse compositions, expanding their applications in biomedicine. These applications encompass targeted imaging, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, near-infrared II imaging, catalytic therapy, photothermal therapy, and cancer treatment. This review seeks to provide the nanomedicine community with a thorough and informative overview of the evolving landscape of complex metal nanoparticle research, with a specific emphasis on their roles in imaging, cancer therapy, infectious diseases, and biofilm treatment. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Diagnostic Tools > Diagnostic Nanodevices.

Abstract
Copper-based antibacterial materials have emerged as a potential alternative for combating bacterial infections, which continue to pose significant health risks. Nevertheless, the use of copper-based nanoparticles as antibacterial agents has faced challenges due to their toxicity towards cells and tissues. To overcome this obstacle, we propose a new approach using a contact-active copper-based nanoparticles called polydopamine (PDA)-coated copper-amine (Cuf-TMB@PDA). The positively charged surface of Cuf-TMB@PDA enables efficient targeting of negatively charged bacteria, allowing controlled release of Cu(II) into the bacterial cell membrane. Moreover, Cuf-TMB@PDA exhibits similar ·OH signals as Cuf-TMB suspensions in previous work. In cytotoxicity assays conducted over 72 h, Cuf-TMB@PDA demonstrated an efficacy of 98.56%, while releasing lower levels of Cu(II) that were less harmful to cells, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial effects. These antimicrobial properties are attributed to the synergistic effects of charge-contact activity of PDA, controlled release of Cu(II), and free radicals. Subsequent in vivo experiments confirmed the strong antimicrobial potency of Cuf-TMB@PDA and its ability to promote wound healing.

Abstract
Thermal strain imaging (TSI) is a widely investigated ultrasound (US) thermometry technique that is based on the temperature-dependent change in speed of sound. However, a major challenge of TSI is a calibration process to account for material-dependent thermal strain. In this study, we leverage nanoparticle (NP)-mediated photoacoustic (PA) thermometry to calibrate thermal strain and guide US thermal imaging. By controlling the molecular composition of the sub-micrometer layer surrounding the NPs, PA thermometry becomes independent of the thermal characteristics of the overall background tissue where the NPs reside. Thus accurate temperature measurements are obtainable from sparse NP-mediated PA signals. These measurements are used to guide TSI, allowing US thermometry to produce an expanded temperature map over the entire region of interest without prior knowledge of tissue composition. Our feasibility study in tissue-mimicking phantoms demonstrates the potential to improve TSI by integrating a PA-based calibration method that complements and guides US thermometry.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging field where photothermal agents could convert visible or near-infrared (NIR) radiation into heat to kill tumor cells. However, the low photothermal conversion efficiency of photothermal agents and their limited antitumor activities hinder the development of these agents into monotherapies for cancer. Herein, we have fabricated an ultrasmall polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-Fe-Cu-Ni-S (PVP-NP) nano-agent via a simple hot injection method with excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (∼96%). Photothermal therapy with this nano-agent effectively inhibits tumor growth without apparent toxic side-effects. Mechanistically, our results demonstrated that, after NIR irradiation, PVP-NPs can induce ROS/singlet oxygen generation, decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential, release extracellular Fe2+, and consume glutathione, triggering autophagy and ferroptosis of cancer cells. Moreover, PVP-NPs exhibit excellent contrast enhancement according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis. In summary, PVP-NPs have a high photothermal conversion efficiency and can be applied for MRI-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic/chemodynamic cancer therapy, resolving the bottleneck of existing phototherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) have dismal prognoses due to the lack of therapeutic targets and susceptibility to lymph node (LN) metastasis. Therefore, it is essential to develop more effective approaches to identify early TNBC tissues and LNs. In this work, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent (Mn-iCOF) was constructed based on the Mn(II)-chelated ionic covalent organic framework (iCOF). Because of the porous structure and hydrophilicity, the Mn-iCOF has a high longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of 8.02 mM-1 s-1 at 3.0 T. For the tumor-bearing mice, a lower dose (0.02 mmol [Mn]/kg) of Mn-iCOF demonstrated a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value (1.8) and longer retention time (2 h) compared to a 10-fold dose of commercial Gd-DOTA (0.2 mmol [Gd]/kg). Moreover, the Mn-iCOF can provide continuous and significant MR contrast for the popliteal LNs within 24 h, allowing for accurate evaluation and dissection of LNs. These excellent MRI properties of the Mn-iCOF may open new avenues for designing more biocompatible MRI contrast agents with higher resolutions, particularly in the diagnosis of TNBC.

Acta Biomater 2023; 159:247-258. [PMID: 36724864 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.01.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
Development of novel broad-spectrum sterilization is an efficient strategy that can overcome drug resistance and avoid antibiotics abuse toward bacterial-infected diseases. Photothermal therapy (PTT) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) therapeutic window with an increased tissue penetration and elevated maximal permissible exposure has attracted considerable attention in antibacterial applications. However, the lack of bacterial-targeted photothermal agents limits their further development. Herein, we developed three xanthene derivatives (CNs) with intense light harvesting ability around 1180 nm. Their bulky planar conformations facilitated the formation of H-aggregates with outstanding photothermal conversion ability and good photostability in the NIR-II therapeutic bio window. By manipulating side chains of CNs, their liposomes exhibited different surface charges, ranging from negative to positive. Remarkably, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding of CN3 dimer drived the positively charged xanthene skeleton exposed to the periphery, which endowed it natural bacterial targeting potency. Therefore, CN3 possessed a good NIR-II photothermal and broad-spectrum sterilization against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The photothermal antibacterial activities for S. aureus and E. coli were 99.4% and 99.2%, respectively, promoting significant wound healing in bacteria-infected mice with superior biocompatibility. This structure-inherent bacterial targeting strategy as a proof-of-concept shows an efficient broad-spectrum bacterial inactivation, indicating more encouraging NIR-II photothermal antibacterial therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Photothermal therapy (PTT) in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) enables the treatment of deep inflammation more satisfactory due to higher tissue penetration depth. In this work, three new NIR-II xanthene derivatives (CNs) with intense light harvesting ability around 1180 nm were developed. CNs showed typical H-aggregated performance with bulky planar conformations and outstanding photothermal conversion ability. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding of CN3 dimer drived the exposure of positively charged xanthene skeleton to periphery of dimer. Therefore, CN3 NPs possessed natural bacterial targeting potency and excellent NIR-II photothermal and broad-spectrum sterilization, and so as to significantly promote the wound healing of Gram-positive / negative bacteria infected mice.

Abstract
Biomedical imaging technology, which allows us to peer deeply within living subjects and visually explore the delivery and distribution of agents in living things, is producing tremendous opportunities for the early diagnosis and precise therapy of diseases. In this feature article, based on reviewing the latest representative examples of progress together with our recent efforts in the bioimaging field, we intend to introduce three typical kinds of non-invasive imaging technologies, i.e., fluorescence, ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging, in which optical and/or acoustic signals are employed for analyzing various diseases. In particular, fluorescence imaging possesses a series of outstanding advantages, such as high temporal resolution, as well as rapid and sensitive feedback. Hence, in the first section, we will introduce the latest studies on developing novel fluorescence imaging methods for imaging bacterial infections, cancer and lymph node metastasis in a long-term and real-time manner. However, the issues of imaging penetration depth induced by photon scattering and light attenuation of biological tissue limit their widespread in vivo imaging applications. Taking advantage of the excellect penetration depth of acoustic signals, ultrasonic imaging has been widely applied for determining the location, size and shape of organs, identifying normal and abnormal tissues, as well as confirming the edges of lesions in hospitals. Thus, in the second section, we will briefly summarize recent advances in ultrasonic imaging techniques for diagnosing diseases in deep tissues. Nevertheless, the absence of lesion targeting and dependency on a professional technician may lead to the possibility of false-positive diagnosis. By combining the merits of both optical and acoustic signals, newly-developed photoacoustic imaging, simultaneously featuring higher temporal and spatial resolution with good sensitivity, as well as deeper penetration depth, is discussed in the third secretion. In the final part, we further discuss the major challenges and prospects for developing imaging technology for accurate disease diagnosis. We believe that these non-invasive imaging technologies will introduce a new perspective for the precise diagnosis of various diseases in the future.

Intensity-adjustable pain management with prolonged duration based on phase-transitional nanoparticles-assisted ultrasound imaging-guided nerve blockade. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:498. [PMID: 36424657 PMCID: PMC9694595 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01707-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The lack of a satisfactory strategy for postoperative pain management significantly impairs the quality of life for many patients. However, existing nanoplatforms cannot provide a longer duration of nerve blockage with intensity-adjustable characteristics under imaging guidance for clinical applications. Results To overcome this challenge, we proposed a biocompatible nanoplatform that enables high-definition ultrasound imaging-guided, intensity-adjustable, and long-lasting analgesia in a postoperative pain management model in awake mice. The nanoplatform was constructed by incorporating perfluoropentane and levobupivacaine with red blood cell membranes decorated liposomes. The fabricated nanoplatform can achieve gas-producing and can finely escape from immune surveillance in vivo to maximize the anesthetic effect. The analgesia effect was assessed from both motor reactions and pain-related histological markers. The findings demonstrated that the duration of intensity-adjustable analgesia in our platform is more than 20 times longer than free levobupivacaine injection with pain relief for around 3 days straight. Moreover, the pain relief was strengthened by repeatable ultrasound irradiation to effectively manage postoperative pain in an intensity-adjustable manner. No apparent systemic and local tissue injury was detected under different treatments. Conclusion Our results suggest that nanoplatform can provide an effective strategy for ultrasound imaging-guided intensity-adjustable pain management with prolonged analgesia duration and show considerable transformation prospects.

Abstract
We propose a nanoparticles‐based system for the early detection of tumors, treatment under real‐time feedback, and monitoring. The building blocks of the system comprise a few modalities that are integrated into one powerful system which can operate at the patient's bedside in an outpatient clinic setting. The method relies on the unique characteristics of superparamagnetic nanoparticles. It takes advantage of their ability to produce acoustical signals under alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) and to produce heat under these same AMFs with different parameters. It utilizes the nanoparticles' coating for specific binding. The manuscript describes the various parts of this method for localization, source separation, confined heat elevation, triggering of cell death, and monitoring the response to treatment through fluorescence signaling. The entire system continues to evolve into a minimally invasive trans‐endoscopic set‐up. This article is categorized under:Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease

Abstract
Photothermal neural activity inhibition has emerged as a minimally invasive neuromodulation technology with submillimeter precision. One of the techniques involves the utilization of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to modulate neural activity by photothermal effects ("thermoplasmonics"). A surface modification technique is often required to integrate AuNPs onto the neural interface. Here, polydopamine (pDA), a multifunctional adhesive polymer with a wide light absorption spectrum, is introduced both as a primer layer for the immobilization of gold nanorods (GNRs) on the neural interface and as an additional photothermal agent by absorbing near-infrared red (NIR) lights for more efficient photothermal effects. First, the optical and photothermal properties of pDA as well as the characteristics of GNRs attached onto the pDA film are investigated for the optimized photothermal neural interface. Due to the covalent bonding between GNR surfaces and pDA, GNRs immobilized on pDA showed strong attachment onto the surface, yielding a more stable photothermal platform. Lastly, when photothermal neural stimulation was applied to the primary rat hippocampal neurons, the substrate with GNRs immobilized on the pDA film allowed more laser power-efficient photothermal neuromodulation as well as photothermal cell death. This study suggests the feasibility of using pDA as a surface modification material for developing a photothermal platform for the inhibition of neural activities.

Abstract
Heterometallic nanomaterials (HMNMs) display superior physicochemical properties and stability to monometallic counterparts, accompanied by wider applications in the fields of catalysis, sensing, imaging, and therapy due to synergistic effects between multi-metals in HMNMs. So far, most reviews have mainly concentrated on introduction of their preparation approaches, morphology control and applications in catalysis, assay of heavy metal ions, and antimicrobial activity. Therefore, it is very important to summarize the latest investigations of activity modulation of HMNMs and their recent applications in sensing, imaging and therapy. Taking the above into consideration, we briefly underline appealing chemical/physical properties of HMNMs chiefly tailored through the sizes, shapes, compositions, structures and surface modification. Then, we particularly emphasize their widespread applications in sensing of targets (e.g. metal ions, small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, and cancer cells), imaging (frequently involving photoluminescence, fluorescence, Raman, electrochemiluminescence, magnetic resonance, X-ray computed tomography, photoacoustic imaging, etc.), and therapy (e.g. radiotherapy, chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemodynamic therapy). Finally, we present an outlook on their forthcoming directions. This timely review would be of great significance for attracting researchers from different disciplines in developing novel HMNMs. Heterometallic nanomaterials display wide applications in the fields of catalysis, sensing, imaging and therapy due to synergistic effects between the multi-metals.![]()

Abstract
Large doses and long duration are often required for herbal medicines to kill bacteria effectively. Herein, a photoacoustic interfacial engineering strategy was utilized to endow curcumin (Cur, a kind of herbal medicine) with rapid and highly effective bacteria-killing efficacy, in which Cur was combined with CuS to form a hybrid material of CuS/Cur with tight contact through in situ nucleation and growth on the petaloid CuS surface. Due to the different work functions of CuS and Cur, the interfacial electrons were redistributed, i.e., a large number of electrons gathered on the side of CuS. In contrast, the holes gathered on the side of Cur after contact. An internal electric field was formed to drive the excited electrons to transfer from CuS to Cur, thus enhancing the separation of electron-hole pairs. Besides exerting the drug nature of Cur itself, the CuS/Cur hybrid also had photo-sono responsive ability, which endowed the hybrid with photothermal, photodynamic, and sonodynamic effects. Therefore, this Cur-based hybrid killed 99.56% of Staphylococcus aureus and 99.48% of Escherichia coli under 808 nm near-infrared light irradiation and ultrasound successively for 15 min, which was ascribed to the synergy of ROS, hyperthermia, and released Cu2+ together with the drug properties of Cur. This work provides a strategy to enhance the therapeutic effects of herbal medicines against pathogenic bacterial infections by exciting the intrinsic properties of herbal medicines as materials through a photo-sono interfacial engineering strategy.

Abstract
Biofilms represent a common and increasingly challenging problem in healthcare practices worldwide, producing persistent and difficult to manage infections. Researchers have started developing antibiotic-free treatment alternatives in order to decrease the risk of resistant microbial strain selection and for the efficient management of antibiotic tolerant biofilm infections. The present study reports the fabrication and characterization of magnetite-based nanostructured coatings for producing biofilm-resistant surfaces. Specifically, magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were functionalized with chitosan (CS) and were blended with lysozyme (LyZ) and were deposited using the matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique. A variety of characterization techniques were employed to investigate the physicochemical properties of both nanoparticles and nanocoatings. The biological characterization of the coatings assessed through cell viability and antimicrobial tests showed biocompatibility on osteoblasts as well as antiadhesive and antibiofilm activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains and no cytotoxic effect against human-cultured diploid cells.

Abstract
Lymph node mapping is important in cancer immunotherapy because the morphology of lymph nodes is one of the crucial evaluation criteria of immune responses. We developed new theragnostic glycol-chitosan-coated gold nanoparticles (GC-AuNPs), which highlighted lymph nodes in ultrasound-guided photoacoustic (US/PA) imaging. Moreover, the ovalbumin epitope was conjugated GC-AuNPs (OVA-GC-AuNPs) for delivering tumor antigen to lymph node resident macrophage. In vitro studies proved the vigorous endocytosis activity of J774A.1 macrophage and consequent strong photoacoustic signals from them. The macrophages also presented a tumor antigen when OVA-GC-AuNPs were used for cellular uptake. After the lingual injection of GC-AuNPs into healthy mice, cervical lymph nodes were visible in a US/PA imaging system with high contrast. Three-dimensional analysis of lymph nodes revealed that the accumulation of GC-AuNPs in the lymph node increased as the post-injection time passed. Histological analysis showed GC-AuNPs or OVA-GC-AuNPs located in subcapsular and medullar sinuses where macrophages are abundant. Our new theragnostic GC-AuNPs present a superior performance in US/PA imaging of lymph nodes without targeting moieties or complex surface modification. Simultaneously, GC-AuNPs were able to deliver tumor antigens to cause macrophages to present the OVA epitope at targeted lymph nodes, which would be valuable for cancer immunotherapy.

Antimicrobial nanomedicine for ocular bacterial and fungal infection. Drug Deliv Transl Res 2021; 11:1352-1375.

Abstract
Ocular infection induced by bacteria and fungi is a major cause of visual impairment and blindness. Topical administration of antibiotics remains the first-line treatment, as effective eradication of pathogens is the core of the anti-infection strategy. Whereas, eye drops lack efficiency and have relatively low bioavailability. Intraocular injection may cause concurrent ocular damage and secondary infection. In addition, antibiotic-based management can be limited by the low sensitivity to multidrug-resistant bacteria. Nanomedicine is proposed as a prospective, effective, and noninvasive platform to mediate ocular delivery and combat pathogen or even resistant strains. Nanomedicine can not only carry antimicrobial agents to fight against pathogens but also directly active microbicidal capability, killing pathogens. More importantly, by modification, nanomedicine can achieve enhanced residence time and release time on the cornea, and easy penetration through corneal tissues into anterior and posterior segments of the eye, thus improving the therapeutic effect for ocular infection. In this review, several categories of antimicrobial nanomedicine are systematically discussed, where the efficiency and possibility of further embellishment and improvement to adapt to clinical use are also investigated. All in all, novel antimicrobial nanomedicine provides potent and prospective ways to manage severe and refractory ocular infections.

Abstract
Bacterial, viral and fungal infections pose serious threats to human health and well-being. The continuous emergence of acute infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microbes and the rapid development of resistances against conventional antimicrobial drugs necessitates the development of new and effective strategies for the safe elimination of microbes in water, food or on surfaces, as well as for the inactivation of pathogenic microbes in human hosts. The need for new antimicrobials has triggered the development of plasmonic nano-antimicrobials that facilitate both light-dependent and -independent microbe inactivation mechanisms. This review introduces the relevant photophysical mechanisms underlying these plasmonic nano-antimicrobials, and provides an overview of how the photoresponses and materials properties of plasmonic nanostructures can be applied in microbial pathogen inactivation and sensing applications. Through a systematic analysis of the inactivation efficacies of different plasmonic nanostructures, this review outlines the current state-of-the-art in plasmonic nano-antimicrobials and defines the application space for different microbial inactivation strategies. The advantageous optical properties of plasmonic nano-antimicrobials also enhance microbial detection and sensing modalities and thus help to avoid exposure to microbial pathogens. Sensitive and fast plasmonic microbial sensing modalities and their theranostic and targeted therapeutic applications are discussed.

Abstract
There has been growing interest in recent years in developing multifunctional materials for studying the structure interface in biological systems. In this regard, the multimodal systems, which possess activity in the near-infrared (NIR) region, become even more critical for the possibility of improving examined biotissue depth and, eventually, data analysis. Herein, we engineered bi-modal contrast agents by integrating carbon nanotubes (CNT) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) around silica microspheres using the Layer-by-Layer self-assembly method. The experimental studies revealed that microspheres with CNT sandwiched between AuNP exhibit strong absorption in the visible and NIR regions and high optoacoustic contrast (OA, also called photoacoustics) and Raman scattering when illuminated with 532 nm and 785 nm lasers, respectively. The developed microspheres demonstrated amplification of the signal in the OA flow cytometry at the laser wavelength of 1064 nm. This finding was further validated with ex vivo brain tissue using a portable Raman spectrometer and imaging with the Raster-scanning OA mesoscopy technique. The obtained data suggest that the developed contrast agents can be promising in applications of localization OA tomography (LOT), OA flow cytometry, and multiplex SERS detection.

Abstract
The development of nanomedicine is expected to provide an innovative direction for addressing challenges associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. In the past decades, although nanotechnology-based phototherapy has been developed for antimicrobial treatment since it rarely causes bacterial resistance, the clinical application of single-mode phototherapy has been limited due to poor tissue penetration of light sources. Therefore, combinatorial strategies are being developed. In this review, we first summarized the current phototherapy agents, which were classified into two functional categories: organic phototherapy agents (e.g., small molecule photosensitizers, small molecule photosensitizer-loaded nanoparticles and polymer-based photosensitizers) and inorganic phototherapy agents (e.g., carbo-based nanomaterials, metal-based nanomaterials, composite nanomaterials and quantum dots). Then the development of emerging phototherapy-based combinatorial strategies, including combination with chemotherapy, combination with chemodynamic therapy, combination with gas therapy, and multiple combination therapy, are presented and future directions are further discussed. The purpose of this review is to highlight the potential of phototherapy to deal with bacterial infections and to propose that the combination therapy strategy is an effective way to solve the challenges of single-mode phototherapy.

Abstract
Designing antimicrobials with high efficiency and long-term antibacterial activity is an imperative issue. We found that the antimicrobial effect of Ti3C2Tx and Ag/Ti3C2Tx could be significantly strengthened upon near-infrared light exposure. The synergistic antibacterial mode of the photothermal bactericidal effect and intrinsic bacterial activity have been revealed, which confirms that the Ti3C2Tx MXene is an excellent near-infrared light-mediated nanoplatform for antibacterial applications. To further test the antibacterial effect in practical applications, Ag/Ti3C2Tx embedded hydrogels were used as wound dressings in a wound model experiment. They exhibit outstanding bacterial inhibition and wound healing performance with near-infrared light exposure. This work inspires us to explore the MXene-based photothermal platform in terms of antibacterial application.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is an emerging imaging modality whereby pulsed laser illumination generates pressure transients that are detectable using conventional ultrasound. Plasmonic nanoparticles such as gold nanorods and nanostars are often used as PA contrast agents. The thermoelastic expansion model best describes the PA response from plasmonic nanoparticles: Light absorption causes a small increase in temperature leading to thermoelastic expansion. The conversion of optical energy into pressure waves (po) is dependent on several features: (i) the absorption coefficient (μa), (ii) the thermal expansion coefficient (β), (iii) specific heat capacity (Cp) of the absorbing material, (iv) speed of sound in the medium (c), and (v) the illumination fluence (F). Controlling the geometry, composition, coatings, and solvents around plasmonic nanostructures can help tune these variables to generate the optimum PA signal. The thermoelastic expansion model is not limited to plasmonic structures and holds true for all absorbing molecules. Here, we focus on ways to engineer these variables to enhance the PA response from plasmonic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics, which combines optical multiplexed disease detection with therapeutic monitoring in a single modality, has the potential to propel the field of nanomedicine toward genuine personalized medicine. Currently employed mainstream modalities using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in diagnosis and treatment are limited by a lack of specificity and potential issues associated with systemic toxicity. Light-mediated nanotheranostics offers a relatively non-invasive alternative for cancer diagnosis and treatment by using AuNPs of specific shapes and sizes that absorb near infrared (NIR) light, inducing plasmon resonance for enhanced tumor detection and generating localized heat for tumor ablation. Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in the field of nanotheranostics, however the main biological and translational barriers to nanotheranostics leading to a new paradigm in anti-cancer nanomedicine stem from the molecular complexities of cancer and an incomplete mechanistic understanding of utilization of Au-NPs in living systems. This work provides a comprehensive overview on the biological, physical and translational barriers facing the development of nanotheranostics. It will also summarise the recent advances in engineering specific AuNPs, their unique characteristics and, importantly, tunability to achieve the desired optical/photothermal properties.

Abstract
Light-responsive nanoprobes were suffering from the threat of high-dose laser irradiation, and it was important for constructing new nanoprobes for safe and efficient phototheranostics. Here, polydopamine (PDA)-coated gold nanobipyramids (AuNBPs@PDA) were synthesized for amplified photoacoustic (PA) signal and enhanced photothermal conversion with low-dose laser irradiation and then doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded AuNBPs@PDA-DOX nanoprobes were constructed for PA imaging-guided synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy. The AuNBPs@PDA nanoparticles possessed higher photothermal conversion efficiency (42.07%) and stronger PA signal than those of AuNBP nanoparticles, and the AuNBPs@PDA-DOX nanoprobes showed dual-responsive DOX release of pH and photothermal stimulation. With low-dose laser irradiation (1.0 W/cm2) and low-concentration AuNBPs@PDA-DOX (60 μg/mL), the 4T1 cell viability was reduced to about 5%, owing to the combination of PTT and chemotherapy, compared with 42.3% of single chemotherapy and 25.3% of single PTT. Moreover, by modeling 4T1 tumor-bearing nude mice, in vivo PA imaging was achieved and the tumors were completely inhibited, demonstrating the excellent synergistic effect of PTT/chemotherapy. Therefore, the developed AuNBPs@PDA-DOX nanoprobes can be used for phototheranostics and synergistic chemotherapy, achieving low-dose laser irradiation and high-efficient visualized theranostics.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has attracted great attention because it can effectively inhibit the proliferation and propagation of cancer cells. Recently, heterojunction nanomaterials have shown tremendous application value in the field of biological medicine. In this work, the CeVO4/Au heterojunction nanocrystals (NCs) are designed for photothermal/photoacoustic bimodal imaging-guided phototherapy. The as-synthesized hydrophobic oleic acid (OA)-stabilized CeVO4 nanosheets were modified with HS-PEG-OH for translating into hydrophilic ones, which can significantly improve their stability and biocompatibility. Subsequently, the plasmonic Au nanoparticles were in situ successfully deposited on the surface of HS-PEG-coated CeVO4 to form CeVO4/Au heterojunction NCs for improving the visible and near-infrared light absorption, which results in enhanced photothermal conversion performance and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity. Thus, the CeVO4/Au can cause more severe damage to cancer cells than pure CeVO4 under NIR laser irradiation. Also, CeVO4/Au can provide distinct tumor contrast by photothermal/photoacoustic bimodal bioimaging. Our results demonstrate that CeVO4/Au NCs could be used as an effective theranostic anticancer agent for near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated PTT and PDT.

Abstract
Drug-resistant bacterial infection is a global threat to public health due to the high mobility of the population. Novel therapy methods have been intensively studied for the eradication of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including photothermal treatment, which has established outstanding bacterial killing efficiencies under laser radiation, and superhydrophobic surfaces have exhibited excellent antifouling properties. However, an effective, scalable, and affordable bactericidal coating for eliminating drug-resistant bacteria is lacking. Herein, a novel graphene coating using one-step laser-induced graphene and simultaneous laser-induced forward transfer is introduced. The graphene coating shows high photothermal conversion and superhydrophobic performance, and these synergistic effects can make the bacteria number decrease with over 99.99% proportions under one sun illumination. The superhydrophobic properties can also reduce 99.87% of bacteria compared to the control sample when the solar energy is not available. This additive and scalable method can quickly coat functional graphene onto various substrates, with bacterial applications in many areas, such as water pipeline robots.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photothermal and photodynamic therapy, has attracted extensive attention due to its noninvasive nature, low toxicity, and high anticancer efficiency. The charge-separation mechanism of plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer (PIRET) has been increasingly employed to design nanotheranotic agents. Herein, we developed a novel and smart PIRET-mediated nanoplatform for enhanced, imaging-guided phototherapy. Prussian blue (PB) was incorporated into a Au@Cu2O nanostructure, which was then assembled with poly(allylamine) (PAH)-modified black phosphorus quantum dots (Au@PB@Cu2O@BPQDs/PAH nanocomposites). The hybrid nanosystem exhibited great absorption in the near-infrared region, as well as the ability to self-supply O2 by catalyzing hydrogen peroxide and convert O2 into singlet oxygen (1O2) under 650 nm laser light (0.5 W/cm2) irradiation. In vitro and in vivo assays showed that the generated heat and toxic 1O2 from Au@PB@Cu2O@BPQDs/PAH nanocomposites could effectively kill the cancer cells and suppress tumor growth. Moreover, the unique properties of the PB-modified nanosystem allowed for synergistic therapy with the aid of T1-weighed magnetic resonance imaging (T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging) and photoacoustic imaging. This study presented a suitable way to fabricate smart PIRET-based nanosystems with enhanced photothermal therapy/photodynamic therapy efficacy and dual-modality imaging functionality. The great biocompatibility and low toxicity ensured their high potential for use in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Although photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region (1.0-1.7 μm) is admired for deeper penetration and higher contrast, few organic NIR-II absorbers are available as exogenous contrast agents in vivo. A1094 belongs to the very few ∼1.1 μm absorbing croconaine dyes that have superior extinction coefficient and tend to form irregular aggregation. In this study, shape-controlled A1094@DSPE-PEG2000 micelles with a J-aggregate core with remarkable 1.2-1.3 μm absorption are fabricated as biocompatible organic agents. Excellent capabilities in photothermal conversion, photostability, and PAI are found in in vitro studies. In vivo PAI of inguinal lymph nodes and in situ glioma pre- and post-resection, all demonstrate high lymph/tumor-targeting efficiency. An ∼4.54 mm deep brain lesion is imaged at 1200 nm with minimized background and increased contrast compared to 970 nm. Overall, we achieved significant bathochromic shift of organic absorbers and expanded their PAI application to the long-wavelength end of the NIR-IIa region.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal diseases affect many people in the world and significantly impair life quality and burden the healthcare system. The functional parameters of the gastrointestinal tract such as motility and pH can effectively reflect the changes of gastrointestinal activity in physiological and pathological conditions. Thus, a noninvasive method for real-time and quantitative measurement of gastrointestinal functional parameters in vivo is highly desired. At present, there are many strategies widely used for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases in clinic, including X-ray barium meal examination, ultrasound imaging, radionuclide examination, endoscopy, etc. However, these methods are limited in determining the gastrointestinal status and cannot provide comprehensive quantitative information. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a rapid noninvasive real-time imaging technique in which multiple types of functional and quantitative information can be simultaneously obtained. Unfortunately, very few ratiometric PAI contrast agents have been reported for quantification of gastrointestinal functional parameters in vivo. In this work, a broad, pH-responsive ratiometric sensor based on polyaniline and Au triangular nanoplates was developed. Utilizing the sensor as a contrast agent, PAI served as an all-in-one technique, accurately measuring the gastrointestinal functional parameters in a single test. Notably, this sensor was examined to be ultrasensitive with pH responses as fast as 0.6 s and durability as long as 24 h, and was repeatable and reversible for longitudinal monitoring. The quantitative results demonstrated a significant disorder in motility and decrease in pH for gastric and duodenal ulcers. Collectively, the combination of PAI and this broad pH-responsive sensor might be a promising candidate for quantitative diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies have been expected to provide innovative platforms for addressing antibacterial challenges, with potential to even deal with bacterial infections involving drug-resistance. The current review summarizes recent progress over the last 3 years in the field of antibacterial nanomaterials with a photothermal conversion effect. We classify these photothermal nanomaterials into four functional categories: carbon-based nanoconjugates of graphene derivatives or carbon nanotubes, noble metal nanomaterials mainly from gold and silver, metallic compound nanocomposites such as copper sulfide and molybdenum sulfide, and polymeric as well as other nanostructures. Different categories can be assembled with each other to enhance the photothermal effects and the antibacterial activities. The review describes their fabrication processes, unique properties, antibacterial modes, and potential healthcare applications.

Abstract
Gold nanostructures (GNSts) have emerged as substitute for conventional contrast agents in imaging techniques and therapeutic probes due to their tunable surface plasmon resonance and optical properties in near-infrared region. Thus GNSts provide platform for the amalgamation of diagnosis and treatment (theranostics) into a single molecule for a more precise treatment. Hence, the article talks about the application of GNSts in imaging techniques and provide a holistic view on differently shaped GNSts in cancer theranostics. However, with promises GNSts also face various hurdles for their use as theranostic probe which are primarily associated with toxicity. Finally, the article attempts to discuss the challenges faced by GNSts and the way ahead that need to be traversed to place them in nanomedicine.
