J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:21568-21582. [PMID: 39051165 PMCID: PMC11311233 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c05162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
The heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can prevent effective treatment, emphasizing the need for more effective therapies. Herein, we employed arsenene nanosheets coated with manganese dioxide and polyethylene glycol (AMPNs) for the degradation of Pin1, which is universally overexpressed in HCC. By employing an "AND gate", AMPNs exhibited responsiveness toward excessive glutathione and hydrogen peroxide within the tumor microenvironment, thereby selectively releasing AsxOy to mitigate potential side effects of As2O3. Notably, AMPNs induced the suppressing Pin1 expression while simultaneously upregulation PD-L1, thereby eliciting a robust antitumor immune response and enhancing the efficacy of anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy. The combination of AMPNs and anti-PD-1 synergistically enhanced tumor suppression and effectively induced long-lasting immune memory. This approach did not reveal As2O3-associated toxicity, indicating that arsenene-based nanotherapeutic could be employed to amplify the response rate of anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy to improve the clinical outcomes of HCC patients and potentially other solid tumors (e.g., breast cancer) that are refractory to anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy.

[PMID: 39121725 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing globally due to population aging. However, effective clinical treatment strategies for AD still remain elusive. The mechanisms underlying AD onset and the interplay between its pathological factors have so far been unclear. Evidence indicates that AD progression is ultimately driven by neuronal loss, which in turn is caused by neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation. Therefore, the inhibition of neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation could be a useful anti-AD strategy. Nonetheless, the delivery of active drug agents into the brain parenchyma is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To address this challenge, we fabricated a black phosphorus nanosheet (BP)-based methylene blue (MB) delivery system (BP-MB) for AD therapy. After confirming the successful preparation of BP-MB, we proved that its BBB-crossing ability was enhanced under near-infrared light irradiation. In vitro pharmacodynamics analysis revealed that BP and MB could synergistically scavenge excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in okadaic acid (OA)-treated PC12 cells and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated BV2 cells, thus efficiently reversing neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation. To study in vivo pharmacodynamics, we established a mouse model of AD mice, and behavioral tests confirmed that BP-MB treatment could successfully improve cognitive function in these animals. Notably, the results of pathological evaluation were consistent with those of the in vitro assays. The findings demonstrated that BP-MB could scavenge excessive ROS and inhibit Tau hyperphosphorylation, thereby alleviating downstream neuroapoptosis and regulating the polarization of microglia from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Overall, this study highlights the therapeutic potential of a smart nanomedicine with the capability of reversing neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation for AD treatment.

Abstract
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) could activate anti-tumor immune responses, which is highly attractive for improving cancer treatment effectiveness. Here, this work reports a multifunctional arsenic(III) allosteric inhibitor Mech02, which induces excessive accumulation of 1O2 through sensitized biocatalytic reactions, leading to cell pyroptosis and amplified ICD effect. After Mech02 is converted to Mech03, it could actualize stronger binding effects on the allosteric pocket of pyruvate kinase M2, further interfering with the anaerobic glycolysis pathway of tumors. The enhanced DNA damage triggered by Mech02 and the pyroptosis of cancer stem cells provide assurance for complete tumor clearance. In vivo experiments prove nanomicelle Mech02-HA NPs is able to activate immune memory effects and raise the persistence of anti-tumor immunity. In summary, this study for the first time to introduce the arsenic(III) pharmacophore as an enhanced ICD effect initiator into nitrogen mustard, providing insights for the development of efficient multimodal tumor therapy agents.

Abstract
Excessive use of antibiotics and the formation of bacterial biofilms can lead to persistent infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria, rendering ineffective immune responses and even life-threatening. There is an urgent need to explore synergistic antibacterial therapies across all stages of infection. Drawing inspiration from the antibacterial properties of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and integrating the bacterial biofilm dispersal mechanism involving boronic acid-catechol interaction, the multifunctional bismuth-based polypeptide nanonets (PLBA-Bi-Fe-TA) are developed. These nanonets are designed to capture bacteria through a coordination complex involving cationic polypeptides (PLBA) with boronic acid-functionalized side chains, alongside metal ions (bismuth (Bi) and iron (Fe)), and tannic acid (TA). Leveraging the nanoconfinement-enhanced high-contact network-driven multiple efficiency, PLBA-Bi-Fe-TA demonstrates the excellent ability to swiftly capture bacteria and their extracellular polysaccharides. This interaction culminates in the formation of a highly hydrophilic complex, effectively enabling the rapid inhibition and dispersion of antibiotic-resistant bacterial biofilms, while Fe-TA shows mild photothermal ability to further assist fluffy mature biofilm. In addition, Bi is beneficial to regulate the polarization of macrophages to pro-inflammatory phenotype to further kill escaping biofilm bacteria. In summary, this novel approach offers a promising bionic optimization strategy for treating bacterial-associated infections at all stages through synergetic treatment.

Abstract
The buildup of plaques in atherosclerosis leads to cardiovascular events, with chronic unresolved inflammation and overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) being major drivers of plaque progression. Nanotherapeutics that can resolve inflammation and scavenge ROS have the potential to treat atherosclerosis. Here we demonstrate the potential of black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of atherosclerosis. BPNSs can effectively scavenge a broad spectrum of ROS and suppress atherosclerosis-associated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in lesional macrophages. We also demonstrate ROS-responsive, targeted-peptide-modified BPNS-based carriers for the delivery of resolvin D1 (an inflammation-resolving lipid mediator) to lesional macrophages, which further boosts the anti-atherosclerotic efficacy. The targeted nanotherapeutics not only reduce plaque areas but also substantially improve plaque stability in high-fat-diet-fed apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. This study presents a therapeutic strategy against atherosclerosis, and highlights the potential of BPNS-based therapeutics to treat other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
As(III) S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferases, pivotal enzymes in arsenic metabolism, facilitate the methylation of arsenic up to three times. This process predominantly yields trivalent mono- and dimethylarsenite, with trimethylarsine forming in smaller amounts. While this enzyme acts as a detoxifier in microbial systems by altering As(III), in humans, it paradoxically generates more toxic and potentially carcinogenic methylated arsenic species. The strong affinity of As(III) for cysteine residues, forming As(III)-thiolate bonds, is exploited in medical treatments, notably in arsenic trioxide (Trisenox®), an FDA-approved drug for leukemia. The effectiveness of this drug is partly due to its interaction with cysteine residues, leading to the breakdown of key oncogenic fusion proteins. In this study, we extend the understanding of As(III)'s binding mechanisms, showing that, in addition to As(III)-S covalent bonds, noncovalent O⋅⋅⋅As pnictogen bonding plays a vital role. This interaction significantly contributes to the structural stability of the As(III) complexes. Our crystallographic analysis using the PDB database of As(III) S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferases, augmented by comprehensive theoretical studies including molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, emphasizes the critical role of pnictogen bonding in these systems. We also undertake a detailed evaluation of the energy characteristics of these pnictogen bonds using various theoretical models. To our knowledge, this is the first time pnictogen bonds in As(III) derivatives have been reported in biological systems, marking a significant advancement in our understanding of arsenic's molecular interactions.

Abstract
Due to multidrug resistance and the high risk of recurrence, effective and less toxic alternative pancreatic cancer treatments are urgently needed. Pancreatic cancer cells are highly resistant to apoptosis but sensitive to ferroptosis. In this study, an innovative nanoplatform (AsIr@PDA) was developed by electrostatic adsorption of a cationic iridium complex (IrFN) onto two-dimensional (2D) arsenene nanosheets. This nanoplatform exhibits superior ferroptosis-inducing effects with high drug loading capacity and, importantly, excellent anti-cancer immune activation function, leading to efficient elimination of pancreatic tumors with no observable side effects. Interestingly, AsIr@PDA significantly prevents the recurrence of pancreatic cancer in vivo when compared with a cisplatin-loaded nanoplatform. This designed nanoplatform demonstrated superior therapeutic efficacy by synergistic ferroptosis-induced chemotherapy with immunotherapy via an all-in-one strategy, providing new insights for future pancreatic cancer therapy.

Abstract
In the face of the serious threat to human health and the economic burden caused by bacterial antibiotic resistance, 2D phosphorus nanomaterials have been widely used as antibacterial agents. Violet phosphorus nanosheets (VPNSs) are an exciting bandgap-adjustable 2D nanomaterial due to their good physicochemical properties, yet the study of VPNS-based antibiotics is still in its infancy. Here, a composite of gold nanorods (AuNRs) loaded onto VPNS platforms (VPNS/AuNR) is constructed to maximize the potential of VPNSs for antimicrobial applications. The loading with AuNRs not only enhances the photothermal performance via a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, but also enhances the light absorption capacity due to the narrowing of the band gap of the VPNSs, thus increasing the ROS generation capacity. The results demonstrate that VPNS/AuNR exhibits outstanding antibacterial properties and good biocompatibility. Attractively, VPNS/AuNR is then extensively tested for treating skin wound infections, suggesting promising in vivo antibacterial and wound-healing features. Our findings may open a novel direction to develop a versatile VPNS-based treatment platform, which can significantly boost the progress of VPNS exploration.

Abstract
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the key pathological event of wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) leading to irreversible vision loss. Currently, anti-angiogenic therapy with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents has become the standard treatment for wAMD, while it is still subject to several limitations, including the safety concerns of monthly intravitreal administration and insufficient efficacy for neovascular occlusion. Combined therapy with photodynamic therapy (PDT) and anti-angiogenic agents has emerged as a novel treatment paradigm. Herein, a novel and less-invasive approach is reported to achieve anti-angiogenic and photodynamic combination therapy of wAMD by intravenous administration of a photoactivatable nanosystem (Di-DAS-VER NPs). The nanosystem is self-assembled by reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive dasatinib (DAS) prodrug and photosensitizer verteporfin (VER). After red-light irradiation to the diseased eyes, intraocular release of anti-angiogenic DAS is observed, together with selective neo-vessels occlusion by VER-generated ROS. Notably, Di-DAS-VER NPs demonstrates promising therapeutic efficacy against CNV with minimized systemic toxicity. The study enables an efficient intravenous wAMD therapy by integrating a photoactivation process with combinational therapeutics into one simple nanosystem.

Abstract
The dense stroma of desmoplastic tumor limits nanotherapeutic penetration and hampers the antitumor immune response. Here, we report a denaturation-and-penetration strategy and the use of tin monosulfide nanoparticles (SnSNPs) as nano-sonosensitizers that can overcome the stromal barrier for the management of desmoplastic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). SnSNPs possess a narrow bandgap (1.18 eV), allowing for efficient electron (e-)-hole (h+) pair separation to generate reactive oxygen species under US activation. More importantly, SnSNPs display mild photothermal properties that can in situ denature tumor collagen and facilitate deep penetration into the tumor mass upon near-infrared irradiation. This approach significantly enhances sonodynamic therapy (SDT) by SnSNPs and boosts antitumor immunity. In mouse models of malignant TNBC and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the combination of robust SDT and enhanced cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration achieves remarkable anti-tumor efficacy. This study presents an innovative approach to enhance SDT and antitumor immunity using the denaturation-and-penetration strategy, offering a potential combined sono-immunotherapy approach for the cancer nanomedicine field.

Abstract
The elements of the pnictogen group, known as the 15th (VA) family in the periodic table, including phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb) and bismuth (Bi), have been widely used by alchemists to treat various diseases since ancient times and hold a pivotal position in the history of medicine, owing to their diverse pharmacological activities. Recently, with the development of modern nanotechnology, pnictogen group elements appear in a more innovative form, namely two-dimensional (2D) pnictogens (i.e. phosphorene, arsenene, and bismuthene) with a unique layered crystal structure and extraordinary optoelectronic characteristics, which endow them with significant superiority as a novel multifunctional photonic nanoplatform for cutting-edge precision treatment of various diseases. The puckered layer structure with ultralarge surface area make them ideal drug and gene delivery vectors that can avoid degradation and reduce target effects. The anisotropic morphology allows their easier internalization by cells and may improve gene transfection efficiency. Tunable optoelectronic characteristics endow them with excellent phototherapy performance as well as the ability to act as an optical switch to initiate subsequent therapeutic events. This review provides a brief overview of the properties, preparation and surface modifications of 2D pnictogens, and then focuses on its applications in cutting-edge precision treatment as a novel multifunctional photonic nanoplatform, such as phototherapy, photonic medicine, photo-adjuvant immunotherapy and photo-assisted gene therapy. Finally, the challenges and future development trends for 2D pnictogens are provided. With a focus on 2D pnictogen-based multifunctional photonic nanoplatforms, this review may also provide profound insights for the next generation innovative precision therapy.

Abstract
PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are an emerging class of promising therapeutic modalities that selectively degrade intracellular proteins of interest by hijacking the ubiquitin-proteasome system. However, the lack of techniques to efficiently transport these degraders to targeted cells and consequently the potential toxicity of PROTACs limit their clinical applications. Here, a strategy of nanoengineered PROTACs, that is, Nano-PROTACs, is reported, which improves the bioavailability of PROTACs and maximizes their capacity to therapeutically degrade intracellular oncogenic proteins for tumor therapy. The Nano-PROTACs are developed by encapsulating PROTACs in glutathione (GSH)-responsive poly(disulfide amide) polymeric (PDSA) nanoparticles and show that ARV@PDSA Nano-PROTAC, nanoengineered BRD4 degrader ARV-771, improves BRD4 protein degradation and decreases the downstream oncogene c-Myc expression. Benefiting from the GSH-scavenging ability to amply the c-Myc-related ferroptosis and cell cycle arrest, this ARV@PDSA Nano-PROTACs strategy shows superior anti-tumor efficacy with a low dose administration and good biocompatibility in vivo. The findings reveal the potential of the Nano-PROTACs strategy to treat a broad range of diseases by dismantling associated pathogenic proteins.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine, such as Tripterygium wilfordii and Paeonia lactiflora, has potential values in treating systemic sclerosis (SSc) and other autoimmune diseases, while their toxic side effect elimination and precise tropical drug delivery are still challenges. Here, we present multiple traditional Chinese medicine integrated photoresponsive black phosphorus (BP) microneedles (MNs) with the desired features for the SSc treatment. By employing a template-assisted layer-by-layer curing method, such MNs with triptolide (TP)/paeoniflorin (Pae) needle tips and BP-hydrogel needle bottoms could be well generated. The combined administration of TP and Pae can not only provide anti-inflammatory, detoxification, and immunomodulatory effects to treat skin lesions in the early stage of SSc but also remarkably reduce the toxicity of single drug delivery. Besides, the additive BPs possess good biocompatibility and near-infrared (NIR) responsiveness, imparting the MN photothermal-controlled drug release capability. Based on these features, we have demonstrated that the traditional Chinese medicine integrated responsive MNs could effectively improve skin fibrosis and telangiectasia, reduce collagen deposition, and reduce epidermal thickness in the SSc mouse models. These results indicated that the proposed Chinese medicine integrated responsive MNs had enormous potential in clinical therapy of SSc and other diseases.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a common disease of the reproductive system in women of childbearing age with an unclear pathogenesis. Endometriosis mainly manifests as dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain, and infertility. Currently, medical therapy and surgical treatment are usually used for endometriosis treatment. However, due to the high recurrence rate and many complications, it has greatly affected patients' quality of life. Nanotechnology is a new technology that mainly investigates the characteristics and applications of nanomaterials. To date, nanotechnology has received widespread attention in the field of biomedicine. Nanomaterials can not only be used as drugs to treat endometriosis directly, but also enhance the therapeutic effect of endometriosis by delivering drugs, siRNA, antibodies, vesicles, etc. This review comprehensively discusses nanomaterial-based therapies for endometriosis treatment, such as nanomaterial-based gene therapy, photothermal therapy, immunotherapy, and magnetic hyperthermia, which provides a theoretical reference for the clinical application of nanotechnology in the treatment of endometriosis.

Abstract
The layered allotropes of group 15 (P, As, Sb and Bi), also called two-dimensional (2D) pnictogens, have emerged as one of the most promising families of post-graphene 2D-materials. This is mainly due to the great variety of properties they exhibit, including layer-dependent bandgap, high charge-carrier mobility and current on/off ratios, strong spin-orbit coupling, wide allotropic diversity and pronounced chemical reactivity. These are key ingredients for exciting applications in (opto)electronics, heterogeneous catalysis, nanomedicine or energy storage and conversion, to name a few. However, there are still many challenges to overcome in order to fully understand their properties and bring them to real applications. As a matter of fact, due to their strong interlayer interactions, the mechanical exfoliation (top-down) of heavy pnictogens (Sb & Bi) is unsatisfactory, requiring the development of new methodologies for the isolation of single layers and the scalable production of high-quality flakes. Moreover, due to their pronounced chemical reactivity, it is necessary to develop passivation strategies, thus preventing environmental degradation, as in the case of bP, or controlling surface oxidation, with the corresponding modification of the interfacial and electronic properties. In this Feature Article we will discuss, among others, the most important contributions carried out in our group, including new liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) processes, bottom-up colloidal approaches, the preparation of intercalation compounds, innovative non-covalent and covalent functionalization protocols or novel concepts for potential applications in catalysis, electronics, photonics, biomedicine or energy storage and conversion. The past years have seen the birth of the chemistry of pnictogens at the nanoscale, and this review intends to highlight the importance of the chemical approach in the successful development of routes to synthesise, passivate, modify, or process these materials, paving the way for their use in applications of great societal impact.

Abstract
Bone fractures are often companied with poor bone healing and high rates of infection. Early recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is critical for initiating efficient bone repair, and mild thermal stimulation can accelerate the recovery of chronic diseases. Here, a bioinspired, staged photothermal effect-reinforced multifunctional scaffold was fabricated for bone repair. Uniaxially aligned electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibers were doped with black phosphorus nanosheets (BP NSs) to endow the scaffold with excellent near-infrared (NIR) responsive capability. Apt19S was then decorated on the surface of the scaffold to selectively recruit MSCs toward the injured site. Afterward, microparticles of phase change materials loaded with antibacterial drugs were also deposited on the surface of the scaffold, which could undergo a solid-to-liquid phase transition above 39 °C, triggering the release of payload to eliminate bacteria and prevent infection. Under NIR irradiation, photothermal-mediated up-regulation of heat shock proteins and accelerated biodegradation of BP NSs could promote the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and biomineralization. Overall, this strategy shows the ability of bacteria elimination, MSCs recruitment, and bone regeneration promotion with the assistance of photothermal effect in vitro and in vivo, which emphasizes the design of a bioinspired scaffold and its potential for a mild photothermal effect in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by cartilage degradation and subchondral bone remodeling. However, most available studies focus on either cartilage degradation or subchondral bone lesion, alone, and rarely pay attention to the synergy of these two pathological changes. Herein, a dual-functional medication is developed to simultaneously protect cartilage and achieve subchondral bone repair. Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs), with a strong reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging capability and high biocompatibility, also present a notable promoting effect in osteogenesis. BPNSs efficiently eliminate the intracellular ROS and, thus, protect the inherent homeostasis between cartilage matrix anabolism and catabolism. RNA sequencing results of BPNSs-treated OA chondrocytes further reveal the restoration of chondrocyte function, activation of antioxidant enzymes, and regulation of inflammation. Additional in vivo assessments solidly confirm that BPNSs inhibit cartilage degradation and prevent OA progression. Meanwhile, histological evaluation and microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) scanning analysis verify the satisfying disease-modifying effects of BPNSs on OA. Additionally, the excellent biocompatibility of BPNSs enables them as a competitive candidate for OA treatment. This distinct disease-modifying treatment of OA on the basis of BPNSs provides an insight and paradigm on the dual-functional treatment strategy focusing on both cartilage degradation and subchondral bone lesion in OA and explores a broader biomedical application of BPNS nanomedicine in orthopedics.

Abstract
With the integration of nanotechnology into the medical field at large, great strides have been made in the development of nanomedicines for tackling different diseases, including cancers. To date, various cancer nanomedicines have demonstrated success in preclinical studies, improving therapeutic outcomes, prolonging survival, and/or decreasing side effects. However, the translation from bench to bedside remains challenging. While a number of nanomedicines have entered clinical trials, only a few have been approved for clinical applications. In this review, we highlight the most recent progress in cancer nanomedicine, discuss current clinical advances and challenges for the translation of cancer nanomedicines, and provide our viewpoints on accelerating clinical translation. We expect this review to benefit the future development of cancer nanotherapeutics specifically from the clinical perspective.

Abstract
The post-graphene era is undoubtedly marked by two-dimensional (2D) materials such as quasi-van der Waals antimonene. This emerging material has a fascinating structure, exhibits a pronounced chemical reactivity (in contrast to graphene), possesses outstanding electronic properties and has been postulated for a plethora of applications. However, chemistry and physics of antimonene remain in their infancy, but fortunately recent discoveries have shed light on its unmatched allotropy and rich chemical reactivity offering a myriad of unprecedented possibilities in terms of fundamental studies and applications. Indeed, antimonene can be considered as one of the most appealing post-graphene 2D materials reported to date, since its structure, properties and applications can be chemically engineered from the ground up (both using top-down and bottom-up approaches), offering an unprecedented level of control in the realm of 2D materials. In this review, we provide an in-depth analysis of the recent advances in the synthesis, characterization and applications of antimonene. First, we start with a general introduction to antimonene, and then we focus on its general chemistry, physical properties, characterization and synthetic strategies. We then perform a comprehensive study on the allotropy, the phase transition mechanisms, the oxidation behaviour and chemical functionalization. From a technological point of view, we further discuss the applications recently reported for antimonene in the fields of optoelectronics, catalysis, energy storage, cancer therapy and sensing. Finally, important aspects such as new scalable methodologies or the promising perspectives in biomedicine are discussed, pinpointing antimonene as a cutting-edge material of broad interest for researchers working in chemistry, physics, materials science and biomedicine.

Abstract
Responsive nanosystems for tumor treatment with high specificity and sensitivity have aroused great attention. Herein, we develop a tumor microenvironment responsive and near-infrared (NIR)-activatable theranostic nanoreactor for imaging-guided anticancer therapy. The nanoreactor (SnO2-x@AGP) is comprised of poly(vinylpyrrolidine) encapsulated hollow mesoporous black SnO2-x nanoparticles coloaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). The constructed nanoreactor can be specifically activated through endogenous H2O2 by an NIR-mediated "bursting-like" process to enhance its imaging and therapeutic functions. Black SnO2-x with abundant oxygen vacancies expedites effective separation of electron-hole pairs from energy-band structure and endows them with strong hyperthermia effect upon NIR laser irradiation. The generating toxic H2O2 with the assistance of GOx provides SnO2-x@AGP with the capacity of oxidative stress therapy. Ascended H2O2 can activate ABTS into ABTS•+. ABTS•+ not only possesses significant NIR absorption properties, but also disrupts intracellular glutathione to generate excessive reactive oxygen species for improved phototherapy, leading to more effective treatment together with oxidative stress therapy. Thus, SnO2-x@AGP with NIR-mediated and H2O2-activated performance presents tumor inhibition efficacy with minimized damage to normal tissues. These outstanding characteristics of SnO2-x@AGP bring an insight into the development of activatable nanoreactors for smart, precise, and non-invasive cancer theranostics.

Abstract
The combination of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, neuroinflammation, and pathogenic protein aggregation disrupt the homeostasis of brain microenvironment, creating conditions conducive to the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Restoring homeostasis by remodeling the brain microenvironment could reverse this complex pathological progression. However, treatment strategies that can induce this effect are currently unavailable. Herein, we developed a "Swiss Army Knife" nanodelivery platform consisting of matrine (MT) and polyethylene glycol-modified black phosphorus nanosheets (BP) that enables PD treatment by restoring brain microenvironment homeostasis. Under NIR irradiation, the photothermal effect induced by BP allowed the nanomedicine to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and entered the brain parenchyma. In PD brains, the biological effects of BP and MT resulted in the removal of excess ROS, effective reduction of neuroinflammation, decreased aggregation of pathogenic proteins, and improved neurotransmitter delivery, eventually restoring dopamine levels in the striatum. This study demonstrated the effective capacity of a BP-based nanodelivery platform to enter the brain parenchyma and trigger multiple neuropathological changes in PD brains. The platform serves as a safe and effective anti-PD nanomedicine with immense clinical potential.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapy remains the main systemic treatment of ovarian cancer (OC). However, the inevitable development of platinum and poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) resistance is associated with poor outcomes, which becomes a major obstacle in the management of this disease. The present study developed "all-in-one" nanoparticles that contained the PARPi olaparib and gallium (Ga) (III) (olaparib-Ga) to effectively reverse PARPi resistance in platinum-resistant A2780-cis and SKOV3-cis OC cells and in SKOV3-cis tumor models. Notably, the olaparib-Ga suppressed SKOV3-cis tumor growth with negligible toxicity. Moreover, the suppression effect was more evident when combining olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin, as evaluated in A2780-cis and SKOV3-cis cells. Mechanistically, the combined treatment induced DNA damage, which elicited the activation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)/AMT- and Rad3-related (ATR) checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1)/Chk2 signal transduction pathways. This led to the arrest of cell cycle progression at S and G2/M phases, which eventually resulted in apoptosis and cell death due to unrepairable DNA damage. In addition, effective therapeutic responses to olaparib-Ga and cisplatin combination or olaparib-Ga and carboplatin combination were observed in SKOV3-cis tumor-bearing animal models. Altogether, the present findings demonstrate that olaparib-Ga has therapeutic implications in platinum-resistant OC cells, and the combination of olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin may be promising for treating patients with OC who exhibit resistance to both PARPi and platinum.

Abstract
An efficient copper-catalyzed radical hydrazono-phosphorylation of alkenes with hydrazine derivatives and diarylphosphine oxides is described. The reaction provides a general and convenient method toward the synthesis of diverse β-hydrazonophosphine oxides in satisfactory yields. Based on conducted mechanistic experiments, a mechanism involving Ag-catalyzed oxidative generation of phosphinoyl radicals and subsequent addition to alkenes followed by Cu-assisted hydrazonation is proposed. Moreover, the practicability of the reaction is successfully demonstrated by its successful application on a gram scale.

Abstract
Bone injury repair has always been a tricky problem in clinic, the recent emergence of bone tissue engineering provides a new direction for the repair of bone injury. However, some bone tissue processes fail to achieve satisfactory results mainly due to insufficient vascularization or cellular immune rejection. Exosomes with the ability of vesicle-mediated intercellular signal transmission have gained worldwide attention and can achieve cell-free therapy. Exosomes are small vesicles that are secreted by cells, which contain genetic material, lipids, proteins and other substances. It has been found to play the function of material exchange between cells. It is widely used in bone tissue engineering to achieve cell-free therapy because it not only does not produce some immune rejection like cells, but also can play a cell-like function. Exosomes from different sources can bind to scaffolds in various ways and affect osteoblast, angioblast, and macrophage polarization in vivo to promote bone regeneration. This article reviews the recent research progress of exosome-loaded tissue engineering, focusing on the mechanism of exosomes from different sources and the application of exosome-loaded scaffolds in promoting bone regeneration. Finally, the existing deficiencies and challenges, future development directions and prospects are summarized.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage represent important pathological mechanisms of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI). Searching for potential antioxidant agents to attenuate MI/RI is of great significance in clinic. Herein, gold-selenium core-shell nanostructures (AS-I/S NCs) with good near-infrared (NIR)-II photoacoustic imaging were designed for MI/RI treatment. The AS-I/S NCs after ischemic myocardium-targeted peptide (IMTP) and mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant peptide SS31 modification achieved cardiomyocytes-targeted cellular uptake and enhanced antioxidant ability and significantly inhibited oxygen-glucose deprivation-recovery (OGD/R)-induced cardiotoxicity of H9c2 cells by inhibiting the depletion of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and restoring ATP synthase activity. Furthermore, the AS-I/S NCs after SS31 modification achieved mitochondria-targeted inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequently attenuated oxidative damage in OGD/R-treated H9c2 cells by inhibition of apoptosis and oxidative damage, regulation of MAPKs and PI3K/AKT pathways. The in vivo AS-I/S NCs administration dramatically improved myocardial functions and angiogenesis and inhibited myocardial fibrosis through inhibiting myocardial apoptosis and oxidative damage in MI/RI of rats. Importantly, the AS-I/S NCs showed good safety and biocompatibility in vivo. Therefore, our findings validated the rational design that mitochondria-targeted selenium-gold nanocomposites could attenuate MI/RI of rats by inhibiting ROS-mediated oxidative damage and regulating MAPKs and PI3K/AKT pathways, which could be a potential therapy for the MI/RI treatment.

Abstract
2D nanomaterials show great potential in biomedical applications due to their unique physical and chemical surface properties. This review includes typical 2D nanomaterials used in bone tissue engineering (BTE), such as graphene oxide, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, black phosphorus, and MXenes. Moreover, the construction methods of BTE materials with 2D nanosheets are analyzed. Before designing a BTE material, it is essential to understand the relationship between the material structure and properties. Notably, 2D nanomaterials can be hybridized with biomaterials, such as polypeptides, proteins, and polysaccharides, to improve biocompatibility and host responses. The effects of the surface properties and size of 2D nanomaterials on cellular behavior, gene expression, antibacterial properties, and cytotoxicity in BTE applications are also discussed. This work provides new design ideas and directions for constructing 2D nanomaterial-based BTE scaffolds.

Abstract
The local hypoxic tumor environment substantially hampers the therapeutic efficiency of radiotherapy, which typically requires the large X-ray doses for tumor treatment but induces the serious side effects. Herein, a biomimetic radiosensitized platform based on a natural in-situ oxygen-evolving photosynthetic cyanobacteria combined with two-dimensional (2D) bismuthene with high atomic-number (Z) components, is designed and engineered to effectively modulate the radiotherapy-resistant hypoxic tumor environment and achieve sufficient radiation energy deposition into tumor. Upon the exogenous sequential irradiation of 660 nm laser and X-ray beam, continuous photosynthetic oxygen evolution by the cyanobacteria and considerable generation of reactive oxygen species by the 2D bismuthene radiosensitizer substantially augmented the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy and suppressed the in vivo tumor growth, as demonstrated on both LLC-lung tumor xenograft-bearing C57/B6 mice model and 4T1-breast tumor xenograft-bearing Balb/c mice model, further demonstrating the photosynthetic hypoxia-alleviation capability and radiosensitization performance of the engineered biomimetic radiosensitized platform. This work exemplifies a distinct paradigm on the construction of microorganism-enabled tumor-microenvironment modulation and nanoradiosensitizer-augmented radiotherapy for efficient tumor treatment. The unique microorganism-based and 2D bismuthene-mediated biomimetic radiosensitization platform has been engineered for enhanced tumor nanotherapy. The photosynthetic production of oxygen has been utilized via natural microorganism cyanobacteria to effectively modulate the radiotherapy-resistant hypoxic tumor environment with high biocompatibility. The biomimetic dual-radiosensitized platform has achieved sufficient radiation energy deposition for inducing overproduction of reactive oxygen species to augment the RT efficacy.

Abstract
Arsenene, a two-dimensional (2D) monoelemental layered nanosheet composed of arsenic, was recently reported to feature outstanding anticancer activities. However, the specific biological mechanism of action remains unknown. In this work, we extensively analyzed the mechanism of arsenene in vivo and in vitro and discovered the unexpected immune regulatory capability of arsenene for the first time. Analysis of cell phenotypes in tumor microenvironment by single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that arsenene remodeled the tumor microenvironment by recruiting a high proportion of anticancer immune cells to eliminate the tumor. Mechanistically, arsenene significantly activated T cell receptor signaling pathways to produce antitumor immune cells while inhibiting DNA replication and TCA cycle pathways of tumor cells in vivo. Further proteomic analysis on tumor cells revealed that arsenene induced reactive oxygen species production and oxidative stress damage by targeting thioredoxin TXNL1. The overloaded reactive oxygen species (ROS) further triggered endoplasmic reticulum stress responses to release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and "eat-me" signals from dying tumor cells, leading to the activation of antigen-presenting processes to induce the subsequent effector tumor-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses. This unexpected discovery indicated for the first time that 2D inorganic nanomaterials could effectively activate direct anticancer immune responses, suggesting arsenene as a promising candidate nanomedicine for future cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) has a distinct internal environment characterized by high levels of glutathione (GSH) and low oxygen partial pressure, which significantly restrict most drugs' effectiveness. Arsenic-based drugs are emerging candidates for treating solid tumors; however, relatively high doses in solo systems and inconsistent complementary systems severely damage the normal tissues. We proposed a novel covalently conjugated strategy for arsenic-based therapy via arsenic-boronic acid complex formation. The boronic acid was modified on silver (AgL) to capture AsV under an alkaline condition named arsenate plasmonic complex (APC) with a distinct Raman response. The APC can precisely release the captured AsV in lysosomal acidic pH that specifically targets TME to initiate a multimodal therapeutic effect such as GSH depletion and reactive oxygen species generation. In addition, GSH activation leads to subconverted AsV into AsIII, which further facilitated glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase inhibition, whereas the tumor selective etching of the silver core triggered by endogenous H2O2 that can oxidize to generate highly toxic Ag ions produces and supplies O2 to help the alleviated hypoxia. Both in vitro and in vivo data verify the APC-based chemotherapy paving the way for efficient nanomedicine-enabled boronate affinity-based arsenic chemotherapeutics for on demand site-specific cancer combination treatment of GBM tumors.

Abstract
One of the recent advances in medical nanotechnology has been the development of nanoformulations to overcome drug-resistant bacterial infections. Herein, we disclose a new nano-antibiotic formulation based on sceptrin-Au nano-aggregates (SANA), which are drug-metal ion multiple complexes. Sceptrin is a natural compound from a marine organism (sponge) and was reported as a potential compound with drug activities. SANA consists of a sceptrin-Au ion and is a self-assembled nano-formation with electrostatic interaction. Interestingly, SANA showed superior antibiotic/antibiofilm activity toward carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria with low toxicity to red blood cells and endothelial cells. The working mechanism of SANA was identified with analysis of the extracellular reactive oxygen species level and membrane depolarization of bacteria. The feasibility of SANA as a new nano-antibiotic was demonstrated in CRPA-contaminated medical supplies where SANA inhibited the formation of biofilms as well as the growth of CRPA. This work presents a new concept for the development of next-generation nano-antibiotics and a more feasible clinical translational pathway.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment with overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and reinforced antioxidative system (glutathione, GSH) becomes a double-edged sword for the accessibility of nano-therapy. Since reactive oxygen species (ROS) are easily quenched by the developed antioxidative network, ROS-based treatments such as chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and radiotherapy (RT) for killing cancer cells are severely attenuated. To overcome such limitations, a bioactive nanosphere system is developed to regulate intracellular oxidative stress for enhanced radio-chemodynamic combination therapy by using bovine serum albumin (BSA) based bioactive nanospheres that are BSA assembled with in situ generated copper-bismuth sulfide nanodots and diallyl trisulfide (DATS). The copper-bismuth sulfide nanodots react with H2O2 to produce •OH and release Cu2+. Then, the Cu2+ further depletes GSH to generate Cu+ for more •OH generation in the way of Fenton-like reaction. Such a cascade reaction can initiate •OH generation and GSH consumption to realize CDT. The elevation of ROS triggered by the DATS from BBCD nanospheres further augments the breaking of redox balance for the increased oxidative stress in 4T1 cells. With the sensitization of increased oxidative stress and high Z element Bi, an enhanced radio-chemodynamic combination therapy is achieved. The current work provides an enhanced radio-chemodynamic combination treatment for the majority of solid tumors by using the co-assembled bioactive nanospheres as an amplifier of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Nanocatalytic medicine is a burgeoning disease treatment model with high specificity and biosafety in which the nanocatalyst is the core of driving catalytic reaction to generate therapeutic outcomes. However, the robust defense systems in the pathological region would counteract nanocatalyst-initiated therapeutics. Here, a Cu-doped polypyrrole is innovatively developed by a facile oxidative polymerization reaction, which exhibits intriguing multi-catalytic activities, including catalyzing H2 O2 to generate O2 and · OH, and consuming reduced glutathione by a Cu(II)-Cu(I) transition approach. By decorating with sonosensitizers and DSPE-PEG, the obtained CuPPy-TP plus US irradiation can induce severe oxidative damage to tumor cells by amplifying oxidative stress and simultaneously relieving antioxidant capacity in tumors based on the highly effective sonochemical and redox reactions. The notable tumor-specific biodegradability, remarkable cell apoptosis in vitro, and tumor suppression in vivo are demonstrated in this work, which not only present a promising biocompatible antitumor nanocatalyst but also broaden the perspective in oxidative stress-based antitumor therapy.

Abstract
As a promising 2D nanocarrier, the biggest challenge of bare black phosphorus nanosheets (BP NSs) lies in the inherent instability, while it can be improved by surface modification strategies to a great extent. Considering the existing infirm BP NSs surface modification strategies, A mussels-inspired strong adhesive biomimetic peptide with azide groups for surface modification to increase the stability of BP NSs is synthesized. The azide groups on the peptide can quickly and precisely bind to the targeting ligand through click chemistry, solving the problem of nonspecificity of secondary modification of other mussel-mimicking materials. Besides, a catechol-Gd3+ coordination network is further constructed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and inducing intracellular endo/lysosome escape. The fabricated BP-DOX@Gd/(DOPA)4 -PEG-TL nanoplatform exhibits enhanced antitumor abilities through synergetic chemo/photothermal effects both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery usually cause severe side effects and excruciating pain. The emergence of nanomedicines and minimally invasive therapies (MITs) has brought hope to patients with malignant diseases. Especially, minimally invasive nanomedicines (MINs), which combine the advantages of nanomedicines and MITs, can effectively target pathological cells/tissues/organs to improve the bioavailability of drugs, minimize side effects and achieve painless treatment with a small incision or no incision, thereby acquiring good therapeutic effects. In this review, we provide a comprehensive review of the research status and challenges of MINs, which generally refers to the medical applications of nanotechnology in photo-/ultrasound-/radiation-/magnetism-mediated therapy and imaging. Additionally, we also discuss their combined application in various fields including cancers, cardiovascular diseases, tissue engineering, neuro-functional diseases, and infectious diseases. The prospects, and potential bench-to-bedside translation of MINs are also presented in this review. We expect that this review can inspire the broad interest for a wide range of readers working in the fields of interdisciplinary subjects including (but not limited to) chemistry, nanomedicine, bioengineering, nanotechnology, materials science, pharmacology, and biomedicine.

Pnictogen-Centered Cascade Exchangers for Thiol-Mediated Uptake: As(III)-, Sb(III)-, and Bi(III)-Expanded Cyclic Disulfides as Inhibitors of Cytosolic Delivery and Viral Entry. JACS AU 2022; 2:1105-1114.

Abstract
Dynamic covalent exchange cascades with cellular thiols are of interest to deliver substrates to the cytosol and to inhibit the entry of viruses. The best transporters and inhibitors known today are cyclic cascade exchangers (CAXs), producing a new exchanger with every exchange, mostly cyclic oligochalcogenides, particularly disulfides. The objective of this study was to expand the dynamic covalent chalcogen exchange cascades in thiol-mediated uptake by inserting pnictogen relays. A family of pnictogen-expanded cyclic disulfides covering As(III), Sb(III), and Bi(III) is introduced. Their ability to inhibit thiol-mediated cytosolic delivery is explored with fluorescently labeled CAXs as transporters. The promise of inhibiting viral entry is assessed with SARS-CoV-2 lentiviral vectors. Oxygen-bridged seven-membered 1,3,2-dithiabismepane rings are identified as privileged scaffolds. The same holds for six-membered 1,3,2-dithiarsinane rings made from asparagusic acid and para-aminophenylarsine oxide, which are inactive or toxic when used alone. These chemically complementary Bi(III) and As(III) cascade exchangers inhibit both thiol-mediated cytosolic delivery and SARS-CoV-2 lentivector uptake at concentrations of 10 μM or lower. Crystal structures, computational models, and exchange kinetics support that lentivector entry inhibition of the contracted dithiarsinane and the expanded dithiabismepane rings coincides with exchange cascades that occur without the release of the pnictogen relay and benefit from noncovalent pnictogen bonds. The identified leads open perspectives regarding drug delivery as well as unorthodox approaches toward dynamic covalent inhibition of cellular entry.

Abstract
Looking retrospectively at the development of humanity, vaccination is an unprecedented medical landmark that saves lives by harnessing the human immune system. During the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, vaccination is still the most effective defense modality. The successful clinical application of the lipid nanoparticle-based Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines highlights promising future of nanotechnology in vaccine development. Compared with conventional vaccines, nanovaccines are supposed to have advantages in lymph node accumulation, antigen assembly, and antigen presentation; they also have, unique pathogen biomimicry properties because of well-organized combination of multiple immune factors. Beyond infectious diseases, vaccine nanotechnology also exhibits considerable potential for cancer treatment. The ultimate goal of cancer vaccines is to fully mobilize the potency of the immune system as a living therapeutic to recognize tumor antigens and eliminate tumor cells, and nanotechnologies have the requisite properties to realize this goal. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in vaccine nanotechnology from infectious disease prevention to cancer immunotherapy and highlight the different types of materials, mechanisms, administration methods, as well as future perspectives.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets emerged as promising 2D nanomaterial that have been applied to eradicate antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, their applications are limited by intrinsic ambient instability. Here, the ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL)-engineered BP nanosheets are constructed via simple electrostatic interaction to cater the demand for passivating BP with amplified antibacterial activity. The dual drug-delivery complex named BP@ε-PL can closely anchor onto the surface of bacteria, leading to membrane disintegration. Subsequently, in situ hyperthermia generated by BP under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation can precisely eradicate pathogenic bacteria. In vitro antibacterial studies verify the rapid disinfection ability of BP@ε-PL against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) within 15 min. Moreover, ε-PL can serve as an effective protector to avoid chemical degradation of bare BP. The in vivo antibacterial study shows that a 99.4% antibacterial rate in a MRSA skin infection model is achieved, which is accompanied by negligible toxicity. In conclusion, this work not merely provides a new conjecture for protecting the BP, but also opens a novel window for synergistic antibiotic-resistant bacteria therapy based on antimicrobial peptides and 2D photothermal nanomaterial.

Abstract
A stibium bond, i.e., a non-covalent interaction formed by covalently or coordinately bound antimony, occurs in chemical systems when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between the electrophilic region associated with an antimony atom and a nucleophile in another, or the same molecular entity. This is a pnictogen bond and are likely formed by the elements of the pnictogen family, Group 15, of the periodic table, and is an inter- or intra-molecular non-covalent interaction. This overview describes a set of illustrative crystal systems that were stabilized (at least partially) by means of stibium bonds, together with other non-covalent interactions (such as hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds), retrieved from either the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD) or the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD). We demonstrate that these databases contain hundreds of crystal structures of various dimensions in which covalently or coordinately bound antimony atoms in molecular entities feature positive sites that productively interact with various Lewis bases containing O, N, F, Cl, Br, and I atoms in the same or different molecular entities, leading to the formation of stibium bonds, and hence, being partially responsible for the stability of the crystals. The geometric features, pro-molecular charge density isosurface topologies, and extrema of the molecular electrostatic potential model were collectively examined in some instances to illustrate the presence of Sb-centered pnictogen bonding in the representative crystal systems considered.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease that shows a high incidence in older individuals, is becoming increasingly prevalent. Unfortunately, there is no clinical cure for PD, and novel anti-PD drugs are therefore urgently required. However, the selective permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses a huge challenge in the development of such drugs. Fortunately, through strategies based on the physiological characteristics of the BBB and other modifications, including enhancement of BBB permeability, nanotechnology can offer a solution to this problem and facilitate drug delivery across the BBB. Although nanomaterials are often used as carriers for PD treatment, their biological activity is ignored. Several studies in recent years have shown that nanomaterials can improve PD symptoms via their own nano-bio effects. In this review, we first summarize the physiological features of the BBB and then discuss the design of appropriate brain-targeted delivery nanoplatforms for PD treatment. Subsequently, we highlight the emerging strategies for crossing the BBB and the development of novel nanomaterials with anti-PD nano-biological effects. Finally, we discuss the current challenges in nanomaterial-based PD treatment and the future trends in this field. Our review emphasizes the clinical value of nanotechnology in PD treatment based on recent patents and could guide researchers working in this area in the future.

Abstract
Emerging noninvasive treatments, such as sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), have developed as promising alternatives or supplements to traditional chemotherapy. However, their therapeutic effects are limited by the hypoxic environment of tumors. Here, a biodegradable nanocomposite-mesoporous zeolitic-imidazolate-framework@MnO2 /doxorubicin hydrochloride (mZMD) is developed, which achieves enhanced SDT/CDT/chemotherapy through promoting oxidative stress and overcoming the multidrug resistance. The mZMD decomposes under both ultrasound (US) irradiation and specific reactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The mZM composite structure reduces the recombination rate of e- and h+ to improve SDT. MnO2 not only oxidizes glutathione in tumor cells to enhance oxidative stress, but also converts the endogenic H2 O2 into O2 to improve the hypoxic TME, which enhances the effects of chemotherapy/SDT. Meanwhile, the generated Mn2+ catalyzes the endogenic H2 O2 into ·OH for CDT, and acts as magnetic resonance imaging agent to guide therapy. In addition, dissociated Zn2+ further breaks the redox balance of TME, and co-inhibits the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) with generated ROS to overcome drug resistance. Thus, the as-prepared intelligent biodegradable mZMD provides an innovative strategy to enhance SDT/CDT/chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cutaneous wound healing, especially diabetic wound healing, is a common clinical challenge. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and bacterial infection are two major detrimental states that induce oxidative stress and inflammatory responses and impede angiogenesis and wound healing. A derivative of the metabolite itaconate, 4-octyl itaconate (4OI) has attracted increasing research interest in recent years due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, 4OI-modified black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets are incorporated into a photosensitive, multifunctional gelatin methacrylamide hydrogel to produce a new photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) system with antibacterial and antioxidant properties for diabetic wound regeneration. Under laser irradiation, the 4OI-BP-entrapped hydrogel enables rapid gelation, forming a membrane on wounds, and offers high PTT and PDT efficacy to eliminate bacterial infection. Without laser irradiation, BP acts as a carrier and controls the release of 4OI, with which it synergistically enhances antioxidant activity, thus alleviating excessive ROS damage to endothelial cells, promoting neovascularization, and facilitating faster diabetic wound closure. These findings indicate that 4OI-BP-entrapped multifunctional hydrogel provides a stepwise countermeasure with antibacterial and antioxidant properties for enhanced diabetic wound healing and may lead to novel therapeutic interventions for diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials have attracted significant attention for promising applications in energy-saving logic and robust memory devices. However, most 2D magnets discovered so far typically feature drawbacks for practical applications due to low critical temperatures. Herein, we synthesize ultrathin room-temperature (RT) magnetic Fe7Se8 nanoflakes via the space-confined chemical vapor deposition method. It is found that the appropriate supply and control of Se concentration in the reaction chamber is crucial for synthesizing high-quality nonstoichiometric Fe7Se8 nanoflakes. Cryogenic electrical and magnetic characterizations reveal the emergence of spin reorientation at ∼130 K and the survival of long-range magnetic ordering up to room temperature. The RT magnetic domain structures with different thicknesses are also uncovered by magnetic force microscopy. Moreover, theoretical calculations confirm the spin configuration and metallic band structure. The outstanding characteristics exhibited by Fe7Se8 nanoflakes, including RT magnetism, spin reorientation property, and good electrical conductivity, make them a potential candidate for RT spintronics.
