Abstract
Therapeutic cancer vaccines are among the first FDA-approved cancer immunotherapies. Among them, it remains a major challenge to achieve robust lymph-node (LN) accumulation. However, delivering cargo into LN is difficult owing to the unique structure of the lymphatics, and clinical responses have been largely disappointing. Herein, inspired by the Migrated-DCs homing from the periphery to the LNs, an injectable hydrogel-based polypeptide vaccine system is described for enhancing immunostimulatory efficacy, which could form a local niche of vaccine "hitchhiking" on DCs. The OVA peptide modified by lipophilic DSPE domains in the hydrogel is spontaneously inserted into the cell membrane to achieve "antigen anchoring" on DCs in vivo. Overall, OVA peptide achieves active access LNs through recruiting and "hitchhiking" subcutaneous Migrated-DCs. Remarkably, it is demonstrated that the composite hydrogel enhances LNs targeting efficacy by approximately six-fold compared to free OVA peptide. Then, OVA peptide can be removed from the cell surface under a typical acidic microenvironment within the LNs, further share them with LN-resident APCs via the "One-to-Many" strategy (One Migrated-DC corresponding to Many LN-resident APCs), thereby activating powerful immune stimulation. Moreover, the hydrogel vaccine exhibits significant tumor growth inhibition in melanoma and inhibits pulmonary metastatic nodule formation.

Abstract
In recent decades, bio-polymeric nanogels have become a forefront in medical research as innovative in-vivo drug carriers. This study introduces a pH-sensitive chitosan nanoparticles/P(N-Isopropylacrylamide-co-Acrylic acid) nanogel (CSNPs/P(NIPAm-co-AAc)), making significant advancements. The nanogel effectively encapsulated doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dx. HCl), a model drug, within its compartments through electrostatic binding. Comparing nano chitosan (CSNPs) before and after integrating copolymerized P(NIPAm-co-AAc), highlighting an improved and adaptable nanogel structure with responsive behaviors. The intraperitoneal delivery of Dx-loaded nanogel (Dx@N.gel) to Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (Eh)-bearing mice at doses equivalent to 1.5 and 3 mg/kg of Dx per day for 14 days exhibited superiority over the administration of free Dx. Dx@N.gel demonstrated heightened anticancer activity, significantly improving mean survival rates in Eh mice. The nanogel's multifaceted defense mechanism mitigated oxidative stress, inhibited lipid peroxidation, and curbed nitric oxide formation induced by free Dx. It effectively countered hepatic DNA deterioration, normalized elevated liver and cardiac enzyme levels, and ameliorated renal complications. This pH-responsive CSNPs/P(NIPAm-co-AAc) nanogel loaded with Dx represents a paradigm shift in antitumor drug delivery. Its efficacy and ability to minimize side effects, contrasting sharply with those of free Dx, offer a promising future where potent cancer therapies seamlessly align with patient well-being.

Salinomycin and IR780-loaded upconversion nanoparticles influence biological behavior of liver cancer stem cells by persistently activating the MAPK signaling pathway. Exp Cell Res 2024; 434:113865.

Abstract
The combination of chemotherapy and phototherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for enhancing the efficacy of cancer treatment and mitigating drug resistance. Salinomycin (SAL), a polyether antibiotic, exhibits potent cytotoxicity against chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells. IR780 iodide, a novel photosensitive reagent with excellent near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and photothermal conversion abilities, is suitable for use in photothermal therapy for cancers. However, both SAL and IR780 exhibit hydrophobic properties that limit their clinical applicability. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are an emerging class of fluorescent probe materials capable of emitting high-energy photons upon excitation by low-energy NIR light. The UCNPs not only function as nanocarriers for drug delivery but also serve as light transducers to activate photosensitizers for deep-tissue photodynamic therapy. Here, to enhance the targeting and bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs in liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs), we employ distearoyl phosphorethanolamine-polyethylene glycol (DSPE-PEG) to encapsulate SAL and IR780 on the surface of UCNPs. Cell viability was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. Cell migration was assessed by the Transwell Boyden Chamber. The activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway was measured via western blot. The results demonstrated successful loading of both IR780 and SAL onto the UCNPs, and the SAL and IR780-loaded UCNPs (UISP) exhibited a robust photothermal effect under NIR light irradiation. The UISP effectively inhibited the viability of HCCLM3 and LCSCs. Under NIR light irradiation, the UISP further suppressed HCCLM3 viability but had no impact on LCSC viability; however, it could further inhibit LCSC migration. Meanwhile, under NIR light irradiation, the UISP persistently activated the MAPK pathway more significantly in LCSCs. These findings suggest that exposure to NIR light results in persistent activation of the MAPK pathway by UISP, thereby influencing the biological behavior of LCSCs and enhancing their therapeutic efficacy against liver cancer.

Abstract
Oral leukoplakia (OLK) has received much attention due to its potential risk of malignant transformation. Studies have shown that when drug therapy is combined with photothermal therapy (PTT), not only can the cytotoxicity of the drug be enhanced, but also the heat energy can be used to kill the lesion cells, so we can combine drug therapy with PTT to enhance the therapeutic effect on OLK. However, with certain drawbacks due to its lack of targeting, fibroblast activating protein (FAP) has become an attractive target for OLK combination therapy. In this study, we used NGO-PEG loaded with FAP-targeting peptide (F-TP) and celecoxib (CXB) to construct a nano-drug delivery system CGPF for targeting OLK with high FAP expression and confirmed the biocompatibility and therapeutic efficacy of CGPF by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Overall, the novel nano-drug delivery system CGPF proposed in this study showed a very significant potential for the combination therapy of OLK.

Abstract
The latest advancements in oncology involves the creation of multifunctional nanostructures. The integration of nanoparticles into the realm of cancer therapy has brought about a transformative shift, revolutionizing the approach to addressing existing challenges and limitations in tumor elimination. This is particularly crucial in combating the emergence of resistance, which has significantly undermined the effectiveness of treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. GO stands as a carbon-derived nanoparticle that is increasingly finding utility across diverse domains, notably in the realm of biomedicine. The utilization of GO nanostructures holds promise in the arena of oncology, enabling precise transportation of drugs and genetic material to targeted sites. GO nanomaterials offer the opportunity to enhance the pharmacokinetic behavior and bioavailability of drugs, with documented instances of these nanocarriers elevating drug accumulation at the tumor location. The GO nanostructures encapsulate genes, shielding them from degradation and facilitating their uptake within cancer cells, thereby promoting efficient gene silencing. The capability of GO to facilitate phototherapy has led to notable advancements in reducing tumor progression. By PDT and PTT combination, GO nanomaterials hold the capacity to diminish tumorigenesis. GO nanomaterials have the potential to trigger both cellular and innate immunity, making them promising contenders for vaccine development. Additionally, types of GO nanoparticles that respond to specific stimuli have been applied in cancer eradication, as well as for the purpose of cancer detection and biomarker diagnosis. Endocytosis serves as the mechanism through which GO nanomaterials are internalized. Given these advantages, the utilization of GO nanomaterials for tumor elimination comes highly recommended.

Abstract
Hierarchically assembled 2D material membranes are extremely promising platforms for energy conversion processes in nanofluidics. In this perspective, we discuss recent advances in the production of smart 2D material membranes that come close to mimicking biological energy conversion processes and how these efforts translate into the design of water purification systems, artificial photosynthesis, and solar energy conversion devices. As we depict here, 2D material membranes synergistically modulate the intrinsic active sites (nanopores), electron transport, mass transfer, and mechanical and chemical stability aiming at cost-effective and highly efficient smart membranes.

Abstract
Graphene-based nanomaterials (GNMs), including graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and graphene quantum dots, may have direct anticancer activity or be used as nanocarriers for antitumor drugs. GNMs usually enter tumor cells by endocytosis and can accumulate in lysosomes. This accumulation prevents drugs bound to GNMs from reaching their targets, suppressing their anticancer effects. A number of chemical modifications are made to GNMs to facilitate the separation of anticancer drugs from GNMs at low lysosomal pH and to enable the lysosomal escape of drugs. Lysosomal escape may be associated with oxidative stress, permeabilization of the unstable membrane of cancer cell lysosomes, release of lysosomal enzymes into the cytoplasm, and cell death. GNMs can prevent or stimulate tumor cell death by inducing protective autophagy or suppressing autolysosomal degradation, respectively. Furthermore, because GNMs prevent bound fluorescent agents from emitting light, their separation in lysosomes may enable tumor cell identification and therapy monitoring. In this review, we explain how the characteristics of the lysosomal microenvironment and the unique features of tumor cell lysosomes can be exploited for GNM-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
Graphene-based materials have shown immense pertinence for sensing/imaging, gene/drug delivery, cancer therapy/diagnosis, and tissue engineering/regenerative medicine. Indeed, the large surface area, ease of functionalization, high drug loading capacity, and reactive oxygen species induction potentials have rendered graphene- (G-) and graphene oxide (GO)-based (nano)structures promising candidates for cancer therapy applications. Various techniques namely liquid-phase exfoliation, Hummer's method, chemical vapor deposition, chemically reduced GO, mechanical cleavage of graphite, arc discharge of graphite, and thermal fusion have been deployed for the production of G-based materials. Additionally, important criteria such as biocompatibility, bio-toxicity, dispersibility, immunological compatibility, and inflammatory reactions of G-based structures need to be systematically assessed for additional clinical and biomedical appliances. Furthermore, surface properties (e.g., lateral dimension, charge, corona influence, surface structure, and oxygen content), concentration, detection strategies, and cell types are vital for anticancer activities of these structures. Notably, the efficient accumulation of anticancer drugs in tumor targets/tissues, controlled cellular uptake properties, tumor-targeted drug release behavior, and selective toxicity toward the cells are crucial criteria that need to be met for developing future anticancer G-based nanosystems. Herein, important challenges and future perspectives of cancer therapy using G- and GO-based nanosystems have been highlighted, and the recent advancements are deliberated.

Abstract
Nano graphene oxide (NGO) has high drug-loading capacity due to its huge surface area. However, the limited stability and the poor biocompatibility of NGO hampered its application as drug delivery carrier under physiological conditions. Thereby, a new strategy of using chemical conjugation on NGO with hydrophilic polymers was adopted but currently was too complicated, low yield and costly. In this study, doxorubicin-hyd-PEG-folic acid (DOX-hyd-PEG-FA) polymers were coated on the surface of NGO via π-π stocking and the hydrophobic effect between DOX and NGO. With the PEG shell protection, the biocompatibility of NGO was significantly improved. The drug-loading capacity of nanoparticles was more than 100%. FA ligands on the nanoparticle could guide the nanoparticles actively targeting to tumour cells. The hydrazone bond between DOX and PEG was decomposed spontaneously in the weakly acidic environment, which made PEG layer dissociated from NGO. Furthermore, DOX was easily protonized at low pH conditions, which weakened the interaction between DOX and NGO. Thus, DOX could be released rapidly from the nanoparticles in tumour cells. In summary, NGO@DOX-hyd-PEG-FA is an easy-prepared nanoparticle with excellent biocompatibility, high pH-sensitivity and active tumour targeting. Therefore, it is a promising multifunctional nanocarrier effective for targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Graphene-family nanomaterials (GFNs) have been widely used in cancer therapy, tissue engineering, antibacterial and biological imaging due to their optical, thermal, and drug absorption properties. When used as drug and gene nanocarrier, the major limitations are aggregation, biocompatibility, and inappropriate release of drugs or genes. To overcome these problems, researchers have developed a variety of functionalization processes. In this review, we grouped the functionalization according to the decoration molecules, putting particular emphasis on the gene delivery. Organic and inorganic materials resulted as the major sets to introduce functional sections onto graphene oxide (GO). We also classified the target molecules used in the GO delivery system, as well as introduced other strategies to increase the delivery efficacy such as controlled release and magnetic targeting.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary goal of the present study was to design doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles (NPs) coated with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) membranes and explore their effect on colon cancer in vitro and in vivo. METHODS DOX-SPIO NPs were coated with MSC membranes using an extruder, and the morphological characteristics of MSC membrane-camouflaged nanodrug (DOX-SPIO@MSCs) evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and NP-tracking analysis. Drug loading and pH response were assessed by UV spectrophotometry. Intracellular colocalization was analyzed using NP-treated MC38 cells stained with 3,3'-dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate and Hoechst 33342. Cellular uptake was analyzed using an inverted fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry and cytotoxicity evaluated by cell counting kit-8 assay. Biological compatibility was assessed by hemolysis analysis, immunoactivation test and leukocyte uptake experiments. Furthermore, intravenous injection of chemotherapy drugs into MC38 tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice was used to study anti-tumor effects. RESULTS Typical core-shell NP structures were observed by TEM. Particle size remained stable in fetal bovine serum and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Compared with DOX-SPIO, DOX-SPIO@MSCs improved cellular uptake efficiency, enhanced anti-tumor effects, and reduced the immune system response. Animal experiments demonstrated that DOX-SPIO@MSCs enhanced tumor treatment efficacy while reducing systemic side effects. CONCLUSION Our experimental results demonstrate that DOX-SPIO@MSCs are a promising targeted nanocarrier for application in treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
Due to the untargeted release of chemical drugs, the efficacy of chemotherapy is often compromised along with serious side effects on patients. Recently, the development of targeted delivery systems using nanomaterials as carriers has provided more alternatives for chemical drug transportation. In this study, we developed a novel targeted nanocomplex of GOQD-ICG-DOX@RBCM-FA NPs (GID@RF NPs). First, PEG modified graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) were used to co-load the photosensitizer of indocyanine green (ICG) and DOX, to form GOQD-ICG-DOX NPs (GID NPs). Then, the red blood cell membrane (RBCM) was applied for GID NP camouflage to avoid immune clearance. Finally, folic acid was used to endow the targeting ability of GID@RF NPs. MTT assay showed that the survival rate of HeLa cells reduced by 71% after treatment with GID@RF NPs and laser irradiation. Meanwhile, membrane camouflage significantly prolonged the blood circulation time and enhanced the immune evading ability of GID NPs. Moreover, the drug accumulation at tumor sites was significantly improved through the strong interaction between FA and FA receptor highly expressed on the tumor cells. In vivo assay demonstrated the strongest tumor growth inhibition ability of the combinational chemo/photothermal therapy. H&E analysis indicated no significant abnormalities in the major organs of mice undergoing GID@RF NPs treatment. The level of blood and biochemical parameters remained stable as compared to the control. In summary, this combinational therapy system provides a safe, rapid and effective alternative for the treatment of cervical cancer in the future.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered materials (2D LMs) are taking the scientific world by storm. Graphene epitomizes 2D LMs with many interesting properties and corresponding applications. Following the footsteps of graphene, many other types of 2D LMs such as transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and graphitic-phase C3N4 nanosheets are emerging to be equally interesting as graphene and its derivatives. Some of these applications such as nanomedicine do have a high probability of human exposure. This review focuses on the biological and toxicity effects of 2D LMs and their associated mechanisms linking their chemistries to their biological end points. This review aims to help researchers to predict and mitigate any toxic effects. With understanding, redesign of newer and safer 2D LMs becomes possible.

Abstract
During carcinogenesis, growth, proliferation, invasion and metastasis, increasing evidence shows that autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) are regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a finding drawing more attention from physicians and scientists. As one of the carbon-based nano-materials, graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively used for its advantages, such as biocompatibility, an ultrahigh surface to volume ratio, abundant surface groups, and a special photothermal effect. The present study is designed to explore the effects of GO on autophagy and ER stress in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Our findings will provide scientific bases for the clinical application of GO and the development of new analogues. GO inhibits the proliferation of HONE1 cells, promotes their apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner and enhances the expression of the ER stress chaperone GRP78 in HONE1 cells. These results suggest that GO could affect HONE1 cells through the autophagic and ER stress pathways. Thus, GO inhibits the proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via the induction of cytotoxic autophagy. In addition, ER stress is also activated as an adaptive response, so blocking ER stress may enhance the sensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells to GO.
