Abstract
Cancer is one of the most well-studied diseases and there have been significant advancements over the last few decades in understanding its molecular and cellular mechanisms. Although the current treatments (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, gene therapy and immunotherapy) have provided complete cancer remission for many patients, cancer still remains one of the most common causes of death in the world. The main reasons for the poor response rates for different cancers include the lack of drug specificity, drug resistance and toxic side effects (i.e., in healthy tissues). For addressing the limitations of conventional cancer treatments, nanotechnology has shown to be an important field for constructing different nanoparticles for destroying cancer cells. Due to their size (i.e., less than 1 μm), nanoparticles can deliver significant amounts of cancer drugs to tumors and are able to carry moieties (e.g., folate, peptides) for targeting specific types of cancer cells (i.e., through receptor-mediated endocytosis). Liposomes, composed of phospholipids and an interior aqueous core, can be used as specialized delivery vehicles as they can load different types of cancer therapy agents (e.g., drugs, photosensitizers, genetic material). In addition, the ability to load imaging agents (e.g., fluorophores, radioisotopes, MRI contrast media) enable these nanoparticles to be used for monitoring the progress of treatment. This review examines a wide variety of different liposomes for cancer theranostics, with the different available treatments (e.g., photothermal, photodynamic) and imaging modalities discussed for different cancers.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are some of the most promising nanomaterials for bioanalytical and biomedical applications. One important challenge to be still solved is how UCNPs can be optimally implemented into Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensing and bioimaging for highly sensitive, wash-free, multiplexed, accurate, and precise quantitative analysis of biomolecules and biomolecular interactions. The many possible UCNP architectures composed of a core and multiple shells doped with different lanthanoid ions at different ratios, the interaction with FRET acceptors at different possible distances and orientations via biomolecular interaction, and the many and long-lasting energy transfer pathways from the initial UCNP excitation to the final FRET process and acceptor emission make the experimental determination of the ideal UCNP-FRET configuration for optimal analytical performance a real challenge. To overcome this issue, we have developed a fully analytical model that requires only a few experimental configurations to determine the ideal UCNP-FRET system within a few minutes. We verified our model via experiments using nine different Nd-, Yb-, and Er-doped core-shell-shell UCNP architectures within a prototypical DNA hybridization assay using Cy3.5 as an acceptor dye. Using the selected experimental input, the model determined the optimal UCNP out of all theoretically possible combinatorial configurations. An extreme economy of time, effort, and material was accompanied by a significant sensitivity increase, which demonstrated the powerful feat of combining a few selected experiments with sophisticated but rapid modeling to accomplish an ideal FRET biosensor.

Abstract
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a new type of organic pollutant in wastewater that is persistent, toxic, and accumulates in living organisms. The development of rapid and sensitive analytical methods to detect PFOA in environmental media is of great importance. Fluorescence detection has the advantages of high efficiency and low cost, in which fluorescent probes have excellent fluorescence properties, excellent bio-solubility, and remarkable photostability. It is necessary to review the fluorescence detection routes for PFOA. In addition, the up-conversion of fluorescent materials (UCNPs), as fluorescent materials to prepare fluorescent probes with, has significant advantages and also attracts the attention of researchers, however, reviews related to their application in detecting PFOA and comparing them with other routes are rare. Furthermore, there are many strategies to improve the performance of up-conversion fluorescent probes including SiO2 modification and amino modification. These strategies can enhance the detection effect of PFOA. Thus, this work reviews the types of fluorescence detection, the design, and synthesis of UCNPs, their recognition mechanism, properties, and their application progress. Moreover, the development trend and prospects of these detection probes are given.

Abstract
Among luminescent nanostructures actively investigated in the last couple of decades, rare earth (RE3+) doped nanoparticles (RENPs) are some of the most reported family of materials. The development of RENPs in the biomedical framework is quickly making its transition to the ∼800 nm excitation pathway, beneficial for both in vitro and in vivo applications to eliminate heating and facilitate higher penetration in tissues. Therefore, reports and investigations on RENPs containing the neodymium ion (Nd3+) greatly increased in number as the focus on ∼800 nm radiation absorbing Nd3+ ion gained traction. In this review, we cover the basics behind the RE3+ luminescence, the most successful Nd3+-RENP architectures, and highlight application areas. Nd3+-RENPs, particularly Nd3+-sensitized RENPs, have been scrutinized by considering the division between their upconversion and downshifting emissions. Aside from their distinctive optical properties, significant attention is paid to the diverse applications of Nd3+-RENPs, notwithstanding the pitfalls that are still to be addressed. Overall, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview on Nd3+-RENPs, discussing their developmental and applicative successes as well as challenges. We also assess future research pathways and foreseeable obstacles ahead, in a field, which we believe will continue witnessing an effervescent progress in the years to come.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as energy donors for Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) are promising in biosensing, bioimaging, and therapeutic applications. However, traditional FRET-based UC nanoprobes show low efficiency and poor sensitivity because only partial activators in UCNPs possessing suitable distance with energy acceptors (<10 nm) can activate the FRET process. Herein, a novel excited-state energy distribution-modulated upconversion nanostructure is explored for highly efficient FRET. Integration of the optimal 4% Er3+ doped shell and 100% Yb3+ core achieves ∼4.5-fold UC enhancement compared with commonly used NaYF4:20%Yb3+,2%Er3+ nanoparticles, enabling maximum donation of excitation energy to an acceptor. The spatial confinement strategy shortens significantly the energy-transfer distance (∼4.5 nm) and thus demonstrates experimentally a 91.9% FRET efficiency inside the neutral red (NR)-conjugated NaYbF4@NaYF4:20%Yb3+,4%Er3+ nanoprobe, which greatly outperforms the NaYbF4@NaYF4:20%Yb3+,4%Er3+@SiO2@NR nanoprobe (27.7% efficiency). Theoretical FRET efficiency calculation and in situ single-nanoparticle FRET measurement further confirm the excellent energy-transfer behavior. The well-designed nanoprobe shows a much lower detection limit of 0.6 ng/mL and higher sensitivity and is superior to the reported NO2- probes. Our work provides a feasible strategy to exploit highly efficient FRET-based luminescence nanoprobes for ultrasensitive detection of analytes.

Abstract
The core-shell engineering of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles has captured considerable attention because it can safeguard the luminescence intensity of the core by reducing surface defects. However, the limited surface area of the traditional spherical core-shell structure hinders the further breakthrough of the brightness. Herein, a unique NaYF4:Yb3+/RE3+@NaYF4:Yb3+/RE3+@NaNdF4:Yb3+ (RE3+ = Ho3+ or Er3+) dumbbell-shaped multilayer nanoparticle featuring a high surface area is reported. Its upconversion luminescence intensity is higher than that of the conventional spherical core-shell structure. A thorough investigation is performed on the luminescence and thermometric mechanisms of Ho3+/Er3+ distributed in the core and the first shell. Remarkably, when Ho3+/Er3+ ions are distributed in the first shell, the relative sensitivity of the biological luminescence nanothermometer composed of downshifting near-infrared emissions is increased to 2.543% K-1 (328 K), which considerably exceeds most reported values. The increased value is attributed to the more thermal-sensitive phonon-assisted energy transfer. For potential biological applications, dumbbell-shaped nanoparticles (DSNPs) with hydrophilic modification show excellent thermometric performance and high tissue penetration depth. Overall, the insights provided by this work will broaden the scope of novel DSNPs in the fields of luminescence and nanothermometry.

Abstract
Cancer involves a collection of diseases with a common trait - dysregulation in cell proliferation. At present, traditional therapeutic strategies against cancer have limitations in tackling various tumors in clinical settings. These include chemotherapeutic resistance and the inability to overcome intrinsic physiological barriers to drug delivery. Nanomaterials have presented promising strategies for tumor treatment in recent years. Nanotheranostics combine therapeutic and bioimaging functionalities at the single nanoparticle level and have experienced tremendous growth over the past few years. This review highlights recent developments of advanced nanomaterials and nanotheranostics in three main directions: stimulus-responsive nanomaterials, nanocarriers targeting the tumor microenvironment, and emerging nanomaterials that integrate with phototherapies and immunotherapies. We also discuss the cytotoxicity and outlook of next-generation nanomaterials towards clinical implementation.

Abstract
Lanthanide (Ln3+ )-doped upconversion (UC) nanoprobes, which have drawn extensive attention for various bioapplications, usually suffer from small absorption cross-sections and weak luminescence intensity of Ln3+ ions. Herein, we report the controlled synthesis of a new class of Ln3+ -doped UC nanoprobes based on CsLu2 F7 :Yb/Er nanocrystals (NCs), which can effectively increase the intersystem crossing (ISC) efficiency from singlet excited state to triplet excited state of IR808 up to 99.3 % through the heavy atom effect. By virtue of the efficient triplet sensitization of IR808, the optimal UC luminescence (UCL) intensity of IR808-modified CsLu2 F7 :Yb/Er NCs is enhanced by 1309 times upon excitation at 808 nm. Benefiting from the intense dye-triplet-sensitized UCL, the nanoprobes are demonstrated for sensitive assay of extracellular and intracellular hypochlorite with an 808-nm/980-nm dual excited ratiometric strategy.

Abstract
Several robust titania (TiO2) coated core/multishell trivalent lanthanide (Ln) upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) hybrid architecture designs have been reported for use in photodynamic therapy (PDT) against cancer, utilizing the near-infrared (NIR) excited energy down-shifting and up-conversion chain of Nd3+ (λ793-808 nm) → Yb3+ (λ980 nm) → Tm3+(λ475 nm) → TiO2 to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) for deep tissue-penetrating oxidative cytotoxicity, e.g., NaLnF4:Yb,Tm (Ln = Y, Gd). Herein, we demonstrate that by doping the Tm3+ emitter ions in the outer shell and the Nd3+ sensitizer ions in the core, the newly designed NaYF4:Nd,Yb@Yb@Yb,Tm@TiO2 hybrid UCNPs exert more ROS production than the reference NaYF4:Yb,Tm@Yb@Nd,Yb@ TiO2 with the Tm3+ ions in the core and the Nd3+ ions in the outer shell, upon 793 nm laser irradiation, primarily due to the shortening of the Tm3+-TiO2 distance of the former with greater Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency. After coating with polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH)/polyethylene glycol folate (PEG-FA), the resulting NaYF4:Nd,Yb@Yb@Yb,Tm@TiO2-PAH-PEG-FA hybrid nanocomposites could be internalized in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells, which also show low dark cytotoxicity and effective photocytotoxicity upon 793 nm excitation. These nanocomposites could be further optimized and are potentially good candidates as nanotheranostics, as well as for other light-conversion applications.
