Abstract
Microbial infection diseases are a major threat to human health and have become one of the main causes of mortality. The search for novel antimicrobial strategies is an important challenge for the scientific community, considering also the constant increase of antimicrobial resistance and the rise of new diseases. Among the new strategies to combat microbial infections, the photothermal effect seems to be one of the most promising. Hyperthermia is an effective and broad spectrum strategy for the removal of microbial infections. Among all of the strategies to reduce the diffusion of microbial infections, the preparation of antimicrobial surfaces seems of primary importance. In many cases, in fact, an infection can be diffused through surfaces just by touching them, or by inoculating microbes through an internalizable device, such as an implant, a prosthesis, or a catheter. In this review, we will summarize the recent advances in the preparation of photothermal antibacterial surfaces.

Abstract
Multimodal imaging, which combines the strengths of two or more imaging modalities to provide complementary anatomical and molecular information, has emerged as a robust technology for enhancing diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy, as well as improving treatment monitoring. Moreover, the application of multimodal imaging in guiding precision tumor treatment can prevent under- or over-treatment, thereby maximizing the benefits for tumor patients. In recent years, several intriguing magneto-optical nanosystems with both magnetic and optical properties have been developed, leading to significant breakthroughs in the field of multimodal imaging and image-guided tumor therapy. These advancements pave the way for precise tumor medicine. This review summarizes various types of magneto-optical nanosystems developed recently and describes their applications as probes for multimodal imaging and agents for image-guided therapeutic interventions. Finally, future research and development prospects of magneto-optical nanosystems are discussed along with an outlook on their further applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II), due to deeper tissue penetration and a lower background interference, has attracted widespread concern. However, the development of NIR-II nanoprobes with a large molar extinction coefficient and a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) for PAI and photothermal therapy (PTT) is still a big challenge. In this work, the NIR-II CuTe nanorods (NRs) with large molar extinction coefficients ((1.31 ± 0.01) × 108 cm-1·M-1 at 808 nm, (7.00 ± 0.38) × 107 cm-1·M-1 at 1064 nm) and high PCEs (70% at 808 nm, 48% at 1064 nm) were synthesized by living Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) cells as biosynthesis factories. Due to the strong light-absorbing and high photothermal conversion ability, the in vitro PA signals of CuTe NRs were about 6 times that of indocyanine green (ICG) in both NIR-I and NIR-II. In addition, CuTe NRs could effectively inhibit tumor growth through PTT. This work provides a new strategy for developing NIR-II probes with large molar extinction coefficients and high PCEs for NIR-II PAI and PTT.

Abstract
Recently, facilely designable metal-organic frameworks have gained attention in the construction of photothermal conversion materials. Nonetheless, most of the previously reported photothermal conversion metal-organic frameworks exhibit limited light absorption capabilities. In this work, a distinctive metal-organic framework with heterogeneous periodic alternate spatial arrangements of metal-oxygen clusters and perylene-based derivative molecules was prepared by in situ synthesis. The building blocks in this inimitable structure behave as both electron donors and electron acceptors, giving rise to the significant inherent charge transfer in this crystalline material, resulting in a narrow band gap with excellent panchromatic absorption, with the ground state being the charge transfer state. Moreover, it can retain excellent air-, photo-, and water-stability in the solid state. The excellent stability and broad light absorption characteristics enable the effective realization of near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion, including infrequent NIR-II photothermal conversion, in this perylene-based metal-organic framework.

Abstract
Transforming CO2 through electrochemical methods into useful chemicals and energy sources may contribute to solutions for global energy and ecological challenges. Copper chalcogenides exhibit unique properties that make them potential catalysts for CO2 electroreduction. In this review, we provide an overview and comment on the latest advances made in the synthesis, characterization, and performance of copper chalcogenide materials for CO2 electroreduction, focusing on the work of the last five years. Strategies to boost their performance can be classified in three groups: (1) structural and compositional tuning, (2) leveraging on heterostructures and hybrid materials, and (3) optimizing size and morphology. Despite overall progress, concerns about selectivity and stability persist and require further investigation. This review outlines future directions for developing the next-generation of copper chalcogenide materials, emphasizing on rational design and advanced characterization techniques for efficient and selective CO2 electroreduction.

Abstract
A copper selenide-embedded gellan gum hydrogel (Cu2-xSe@GG) is designed as an "all-in-one" antitumor agent. The obtained nanocomposite hydrogel exhibits strong near-infrared light absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiency in both the NIR-I and NIR-II biowindows. The photothermal conversion efficiency achieves 58.8% under the irradiation of 0.75 W/cm2 with a 1064 nm laser. Furthermore, the nanocomposite hydrogel has catalase- and peroxidase-mimicking activities, which could alter the tumor microenvironment by reducing hypoxia and/or increasing the production of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, the multifunctional Cu2-xSe@GG nanocomposite hydrogel can also be used as an immune agonist resiquimod (R848) carrier to promote immune regulation and enhance the therapeutic effect. The single-syringe R848/Cu2-xSe@GG treatment achieves synergetic photothermal immunotherapy, showing 97.4% of tumor regression rate from an initial large tumor of 300 mm3.

Abstract
Tumor cells may be eliminated by increasing their temperature. This is achieved via photothermal therapy (PTT) by penetrating the tumor tissue with near-infrared light and converting light energy into heat using photothermal agents. Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) are commonly used as PTAs in PTT. In this review, we aimed to discuss the synergism between tumor PTT with CuS NPs and other therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, dynamic therapies (photodynamic, chemodynamic, and sonodynamic therapy), immunotherapy, gene therapy, gas therapy, and magnetic hyperthermia. Furthermore, we summarized the results obtained with a combination of two treatments and at least two therapies, with PTT as one of the included therapies. Finally, we summarized the benefits and drawbacks of various therapeutic options and state of the art CuS-based PTT and provided future directions for such therapies.

Abstract
The use of visible light to propel chemical reactions is an exciting area of study that is crucial in the current socioeconomic environment. However, various photocatalysts have been developed to harness visible light, which consume high energy during synthesis. Thus, synthesizing photocatalysts at gel-liquid interfaces in ambient conditions is of scientific importance. Herein, we report an environmentally benign sodium alginate gel being used as a biopolymer template to synthesize copper sulfide (CuS) nanostructures at the gel-liquid interface. The driving force for the synthesis of CuS nanostructures is varied by changing the pH of the reaction medium (i.e., pH 7.4, 10, and 13) to tailor the morphology of CuS nanostructures. The CuS nanoflakes obtained at pH 7.4 transform into nanocubes when the pH is raised to 10, and the nanostructures deform at the pH of 13. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirms all the characteristic stretching of sodium alginate, whereas the CuS nanostructures are crystallized in a hexagonal crystal system, as revealed by the powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra show the +2 and -2 oxidation states of copper (Cu) and sulfur (S) ions, respectively. The CuS nanoflakes physisorbed a higher concentration of greenhouse CO2 gas. Owing to a lower band gap of CuS nanoflakes synthesized at a pH of 7.4, compared to other CuS nanostructures prepared at pH 10 and 13, CuS photocatalytically degrades 95% of crystal violet and 98% of methylene blue aqueous dye solutions in 60 and 90 min, respectively, under blue light illumination. Additionally, sodium alginate-copper sulfide (SA-CuS) nanostructures synthesized at a pH of 7.4 demonstrate excellent performance in photoredox reactions to convert ferricyanide to ferrocyanide. The current research opens the door to developing new photocatalytic pathways for a wide range of photochemical reactions involving nanoparticle-impregnated alginate composites prepared on gel interfaces.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy (PTT) is attractive for cancer treatment but is currently restricted by limited availability and insufficient NIR-II photoactivity of photothermal agents, for which artificial nanomaterials are usually used. Here, we report the first use of biogenic nanomaterials for PTT application. A fine-controlled extracellular biosynthesis of copper selenide nanoparticles (bio-Cu2-xSe) by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was realized. The resulting bio-Cu2-xSe, with fine sizes (∼35.5 nm) and high product purity, exhibited 76.9% photothermal conversion efficiency under 1064 nm laser irradiation, outperforming almost all the existing counterparts. The protein capping also imparted good biocompatibility to bio-Cu2-xSe to favor a safe PTT application. The in vivo PTT with injected bio-Cu2-xSe in mice (without extraction nor further modification) showed 87% tumor ablation without impairing the normal organisms. Our work not only opens a green route to synthesize the NIR-II photothermal nanomaterial but may also lay a basis for the development of bacteria-nanomaterial hybrid therapy technologies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with an oxygen-dependent character is a noninvasive therapeutic method for cancer treatment. However, its clinical therapeutic effect is greatly restricted by tumor hypoxia. What's more, both PDT-mediated oxygen consumption and microvascular damage aggravate tumor hypoxia, thus, further impeding therapeutic outcomes. Compared to type II PDT with high oxygen dependence and high oxygen consumption, type I PDT with less oxygen consumption exhibits great potential to overcome the vicious hypoxic plight in solid tumors. Type I photosensitizers (PSs) are significantly important for determining the therapeutic efficacy of PDT, which performs an electron transfer photochemical reaction with the surrounding oxygen/substrates to generate highly cytotoxic free radicals such as superoxide radicals (˙O2-) as type I ROS. In particular, the primary precursor (˙O2-) would progressively undergo a superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mediated disproportionation reaction and a Haber-Weiss/Fenton reaction, yielding higher cytotoxic species (˙OH) with better anticancer effects. As a result, developing high-performance type I PSs to treat hypoxic tumors has become more and more important and urgent. Herein, the latest progress of organic type I PSs (such as AIE-active cationic/neutral PSs, cationic/neutral PSs, polymer-based PSs and supramolecular self-assembled PSs) for monotherapy or synergistic therapeutic modalities is summarized. The molecular design principles and strategies (donor-acceptor system, anion-π+ incorporation, polymerization and cationization) are highlighted. Furthermore, the future challenges and prospects of type I PSs in hypoxia-overcoming PDT are proposed.

Abstract
Developing antibacterial hydrogels, with good mechanical strength and self-healing ability to resist bacterial invasion and accelerate skin regeneration, is critical for infected full-thickness skin wound treatment. Herein, we report a gelatin-assisted synthesis and direct incorporation strategy to construct a CuS hybrid hydrogel for infected wound healing applications. CuS nanodots (NDs) were synthesized directly inside a gelatin host matrix (Gel-CuS), and these tightly confined and evenly distributed CuS NDs displayed superb dispersibility and stability against oxidation. Gel-CuS was then used to crosslink with oxidized dextran (ODex) to form a Gel-CuS-8/ODex hydrogel (8 stands for the concentration of CuS, in mM) via a facile Schiff-base reaction, which exhibited improved mechanical properties, excellent adhesion and self-healing ability, suitable swelling and degradation behavior, and good biocompatibility. The Gel-CuS-8/ODex hydrogel can act as an efficient antibacterial agent due to its photothermal and photodynamic properties under a 1064 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, in animal experiments, when being applied as wound dressing, the Gel-CuS-8/ODex hydrogel significantly promoted infected full-thickness cutaneous wound healing through improved epidermis and granulation tissue formation and accelerated generation of new blood vessels, hair follicles, and collagen deposition after proper near-infrared irradiation treatment. This work provides a promising strategy to synthesize functional inorganic nanomaterials tightly and evenly embedded inside modified natural hydrogel networks for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Cancer is ranked as the second leading cause of death globally. Traditional cancer therapies including chemotherapy are flawed, with off-target and on-target toxicities on the normal cells, requiring newer strategies to improve cell selective targeting. The application of nanomaterial has been extensively studied and explored as chemical biology tools in cancer theranostics. It shows greater applications toward stability, biocompatibility, and increased cell permeability, resulting in precise targeting, and mitigating the shortcomings of traditional cancer therapies. The nanoplatform offers an exciting opportunity to gain targeting strategies and multifunctionality. The advent of nanotechnology, in particular the development of smart nanomaterials, has transformed cancer diagnosis and treatment. The large surface area of nanoparticles is enough to encapsulate many molecules and the ability to functionalize with various biosubstrates such as DNA, RNA, aptamers, and antibodies, which helps in theranostic action. Comparatively, biologically derived nanomaterials perceive advantages over the nanomaterials produced by conventional methods in terms of economy, ease of production, and reduced toxicity. The present review summarizes various techniques in cancer theranostics and emphasizes the applications of smart nanomaterials (such as organic nanoparticles (NPs), inorganic NPs, and carbon-based NPs). We also critically discussed the advantages and challenges impeding their translation in cancer treatment and diagnostic applications. This review concludes that the use of smart nanomaterials could significantly improve cancer theranostics and will facilitate new dimensions for tumor detection and therapy.

Acta Biomater 2023; 155:564-574. [PMID: 36328127 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.10.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Transition-metal chalcogenides, such as noble metal chalcogenides, hold tremendous potential as efficient agents for photo-induced cancer theranostics due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, a critical bottleneck still lies in exploring simple and controllable methods to synthesize noble metal chalcogenides especially PtS for in vivo photo-induced cancer imaging and simultaneous therapy. Herein, we proposed the albumin-templated synthesis of size-controllable platinum (II) sulfide nanodots (PtS-NDs) for multimodal cancer imaging and potent photothermal therapy. PtS-NDs were precisely synthesized with a tunable size ranging from 2.1 nm to 4.5 nm through a thermodynamically controlled growth inside albumin nanocages. PtS-NDs yielded significant near-infrared (NIR) absorbance and outstanding photothermal conversion under NIR laser irradiation, as well as effective resistance to photobleaching, thereby generating remarkable in vivo photoacoustic signals and distinct hyperthermia at tumor site. Moreover, these nanodots possessed efficient cellular uptake and tumor targeting capabilities in a size-dependent manner, thus leading to controllable diagnostic and thermo-therapeutic efficacy. Specifically, PtS-NDs with core diameter of 4.5 nm displayed preferable in vivo photoacoustic and CT imaging with high sensitivity, spatially and anatomically enhanced imaging contrast, together with hyperthermia mediated tumor ablation. Thus, the albumin-templated biomimetic synthesis provided an insightful strategy on fabricating theranostic PtS-NDs for potential clinical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Noble metal chalcogenides especially PtS are of particular importance in the field of precise nanomedicine to improve both accuracy of cancer diagnosis and efficiency of tumor treatment. However, the intensively preclinical investigation of PtS was limited due to the lack of simple and controllable synthetic methods. Here, we report an albumin-templated biomineralization synthesis of platinum (II) sulfide nanodots (PtS-NDs). Specifically, albumin-templated biomineralization of PtS-NDs was induced by the electrostatic interactions between albumin and Pt2+, followed by the nucleation and growth inside the albumin nanocages. The resulting PtS-NDs showed good dispersibility and biosafety, as well as size-dependent photophysical properties and biological behaviors. Therefore, albumin-based biomineralization is a promising and safe strategy to facilely fabricate Pt-based chalcogenide for tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Metallic-based nanoparticles present a unique set of physicochemical properties that support their application in different fields, such as electronics, medical diagnostics, and therapeutics. Particularly, in cancer therapy, the plasmonic resonance, magnetic behavior, X-ray attenuation, and radical oxygen species generation capacity displayed by metallic nanoparticles make them highly promising theragnostic solutions. Nevertheless, metallic-based nanoparticles are often associated with some toxicological issues, lack of colloidal stability, and establishment of off-target interactions. Therefore, researchers have been exploiting the combination of metallic nanoparticles with other materials, inorganic (e.g., silica) and/or organic (e.g., polymers). In terms of biological performance, metal-polymer conjugation can be advantageous for improving biocompatibility, colloidal stability, and tumor specificity. In this review, the application of metallic-polymer nanoconjugates/nanohybrids as a multifunctional all-in-one solution for cancer therapy will be summarized, focusing on the physicochemical properties that make metallic nanomaterials capable of acting as imaging and/or therapeutic agents. Then, an overview of the main advantages of metal-polymer conjugation as well as the most common structural arrangements will be provided. Moreover, the application of metallic-polymer nanoconjugates/nanohybrids made of gold, iron, copper, and other metals in cancer therapy will be discussed, in addition to an outlook of the current solution in clinical trials.

Abstract
Multifunctional multinary metal chalcogenides have long been a research hotspot in the field of materials chemistry due to their rich composition, flexible structure, excellent properties and wide range of applications. However, the exploration of complex quinary chalcogenides is still challenging. In this work, for the first time, we have developed the controlled synthesis of quinary Cu3NiInSnS6 nanocrystals, realizing the selective preparation of hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zinc blende metastable phases by simply tuning the sulfur source. The phase structure analysis reveals that both metastable phases possess a disordered structure with a random distribution of metal atoms in the unit cells. The fabricated wurtzite and zinc blende-structure Cu3NiInSnS6 nanocrystals have a direct band gap of 1.82 and 1.94 eV, respectively, and both exhibit superparamagnetic behavior at low temperatures. This work is of great significance for the development of novel multifunctional materials based on metastable multinary metal chalcogenide phases.

Abstract
Copper-based nanomaterials (Cu-based NMs) with favorable biocompatibility and unique properties have attracted the attention of many biomedical researchers. Cu-based NMs are one of the most widely studied materials in cancer treatment. In recent years, great progress has been made in the field of biomedicine, especially in the treatment and diagnosis of tumors. This review begins with the classification of Cu-based NMs and the recent synthetic strategies of Cu-based NMs. Then, according to the abundant and special properties of Cu-based NMs, their application in biomedicine is summarized in detail. For biomedical imaging, such as photoacoustic imaging, positron emission tomography imaging, and multimodal imaging based on Cu-based NMs are summarized, as well as strategies to improve the diagnostic effectiveness. Moreover, a series of unique structures and functions as well as the underlying property activity relationship of Cu-based NMs were shown to highlight their promising therapeutic performance. Cu-based NMs have been widely used in monotherapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, the sophisticated design in composition, structure, and surface fabrication of Cu-based NMs can endow these NMs with more modalities in cancer diagnosis and therapy. To further improve the efficiency of cancer treatment, combined therapy based on Cu-based NMs was introduced in detail. Finally, the challenges, critical factors, and future prospects for the clinical translation of Cu-based NMs as multifunctional theranostic agents were also considered and discussed. The aim of this review is to provide a better understanding and key consideration for the rational design of this increasingly important new paradigm of Cu-based NMs as theranostic agents. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
A novel nanoplatform that supports multimodal imaging has been designed for deep tumor therapy. In this study, Bi2Se3@Cu2-xSe heterojunction nanocomposites with tunable spectral absorption, effective electron-hole separation and high photothermal conversion efficiency were prepared for the combination therapy of phototherapy (PT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and radiotherapy (RT). By adjusting the doping ratio, the heterojunction nanoparticles show obvious tunable ability of local surface plasmon resonance and the ability to promote electron-hole separation with significantly enhanced reactive oxygen species production capacity. The band structure and charge density difference calculated by density functional theory further reveal that the change of band gap and the decrease of free carriers can regulate the spectral absorption of nanomaterials and promote electron-hole separation. In addition, the photothermal conversion properties of low carrier density semiconductors are related to their inherent deep level defects. The formation of heterojunctions making the Se atoms deviate from the Bi2Se3 lattice, resulting in more deep level defects and stronger photothermal conversion properties. Meanwhile, this nanoplatform presented features similar to catalase activities and glutathione (GSH) consumption characteristics, which was capable of effectively alleviate the tumor-specific hypoxia environment to enhance the efficacy of O2-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy (RT) and depletion GSH to prevent the reduction of therapeutic efficacy due to the clearance of reactive oxygen species. In addition to therapeutic enhancement, heterojunction nanomaterials have excellent nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), infrared thermal imaging (IR) and computed tomography (CT) properties due to their significant paramagnetism and excellent photothermal conversion and X-ray attenuation capacities. In conclusion, our findings provide a new strategy for designing multi-function and efficient nanoplatform to treat tumor.

Abstract
Generation of novel and versatile immunomodulatory agents that could suppress excessive inflammation has been crucial to fight against chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Immunomodulatory agents regulate the function of immune system cells to manage their activities. Current therapy regimens for the inflammatory and autoimmune disorders rely on immunomodulatory drug molecules but they are also associated with unwanted and severe side effects. In order to prevent the side effects associated with drug molecules, the field should generate novel immunomodulatory drug candidates and further test them. Moreover, the generation of photodynamic immunomodulatory molecules would also decrease possible side effects. Photodynamic activation enables specific and localized activation of the active ingredients upon exposure to a certain wavelength of light. In our study, we generated copper-based chalcogenide structures in gel and nanoparticle form by using a water-based method so that they are more biocompatible.After their chemical characterization, they were tested on mammalian macrophages in vitro. Our results suggest that these molecules were anti-inflammatory in dark conditions and their anti-inflammatory potentials significantly increased upon xenon light treatment. We are presenting novel photodynamic immunomodulatory agents that can be used to suppress excessive inflammation in disease conditions that have been associated with excessive inflammation.

Abstract
Abstract
Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) have shown great potential in various application fields, especially in biomedical engineering fields. CuS NPs, with the ability to actively capture and kill bacteria and without the worry of biocompatibility, will greatly expand their applications. Herein, a four-arm star thermo-sensitive polyisopropylacrylamide (4sPNIPAm) was used to modify CuS NPs (CuS-PNIPAm NPs). The obtained nanoparticles displayed the controlled release of copper ions and higher photothermal conversion ability in comparison with contrast materials CuS-PEG NPs and CuS NPs. Aggregation of CuS-PNIPAm NPs at above 34 °C resulted in capturing bacteria by forming the aggregates of nanoparticles-bacteria. Both S. aureus and E. coli co-cultured with CuS-PNIPAm NPs were completely killed upon NIR irradiation in minutes. Furthermore, CuS-PNIPAm NPs were verified to be a photothermal agent without toxic effect. In in vivo experiment, the nanoparticles effectively killed the bacteria in the wound and accelerated the process of wound repairment. Overall, photothermal treatment by CuS-PNIPAm NPs demonstrates the ability to actively capture and kill bacteria, and has a potential in the treatment of infected skin and the regeneration of skin tissues. The therapy will exert a far-reaching impact on the regeneration of stubborn chronic wounds.

Abstract
With the developments of nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine, non-invasive thermal ablation with fewer side effects than traditional tumor treatment methods has received extensive attention in tumor treatment. Non-invasive thermal ablation has the advantages of non-invasiveness and fewer side effects compared with traditional treatment methods. However, the clinical efficiency and biological safety are low, which limits their clinical application. Transition-metal based nanomaterials as contrast agents have aroused increasing interest due to its unique optical properties, low toxicity, and high potentials in tumor diagnosis. Transition-metal based nanomaterials have high conversion efficiency of converting light energy into heat energy, good near-infrared absorption characteristics, which also can targetedly deliver those loaded drugs to tumor tissue, thereby improving the therapeutic effect and reducing the damage to the surrounding normal tissues and organs. This article mainly reviews the synthesis of transition-metal based nanomaterials in recent years, and discussed their applications in tumor thermal ablation and diagnosis, hopefully guiding the development of new transition metal-based nanomaterials in enhancing thermal ablation.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy has been appealing for effective cancer treatment. Particularly, Fenton-like reactions catalyzed by Cu2+-based nanoparticles showed promising prospects. Herein, we fabricated copper-selenocysteine quantum dots (Cu-Sec QDs) with the majority of Cu+ by a facile and robust thermal titration process. No high temperature or pressure is needed for this synthetic route of QDs. The selenocysteine functioned as the reducing agent as well as the stabilizer, circumventing the poor water solubility and stability, leading to enhanced biocompatibility. The existence of Cu+ endowed the QDs the ability to catalyze the Fenton-like reaction without an extra reduction reaction of Cu2+ to Cu+. Moreover, the strong absorption in the near-infrared-II region (1000-1300 nm) of the final Cu-Sec QDs is in great favor of the chemodynamic therapy via the photothermally enhanced Fenton-like reaction. And the Cu-Sec QDs exhibited obvious cytotoxicity to various cancer cell lines. We believe that this facile and robust synthetic approach could open up another method for the fabrication of quantum dots toward the potential Fenton-like reaction-based applications in biological fields.

Lanthanide europium MOF nanocomposite as the theranostic nanoplatform for microwave thermo-chemotherapy and fluorescence imaging. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:133. [PMID: 35292037 PMCID: PMC8922785 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01335-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Backgrounds Microwave sensitization nanoplatform, integrating multiple functional units for improving tumor selectivity, is of great significance for clinical tumor microwave treatment. Lanthanide europium metal organic framework (EuMOF) is expected to be a theranostic nanoplatform owing to its unique luminescent and microwave sensitization properties. However, it is difficult to be applied to complicated biological systems for EuMOF due to its rapid degradation induced by the solvent molecular and ionic environment. In this work, a luminescent EuMOF nanocomposite (EuMOF@ZIF/AP-PEG, named EZAP) was designed, which brought the multifunctional characteristics of microwave sensitization, fluorescence imaging and drug loading. Results Lamellar EuMOF was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Through the charge adsorption mechanism, the zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF) structure was intensively assembled on the surface of EuMOF to realize the protection. Then, through in-situ Apatinib drug loading and PEG modification, EZAP nanocomposite was finally obtained. Apatinib (AP) was a kind of chemotherapy drug approved by Food and Drug Administration for targeted therapy of tumors. PEG modification increased long-term circulation of EZAP nanocomposite. The physical and chemical structure and properties of EuMOF@ZIF (EZ) were systematically represented, indicating the successful synthesis of the nanocomposite. The toxic and side effects were negligible at a safe dose. The growth of human liver cancer cells and murine liver cancer cells in vitro was significantly inhibited, and the combined microwave-thermal therapy and chemotherapy in vivo achieved high anti-cancer efficacy. Moreover, EZAP nanocomposite possessed bright red fluorescence, which can be applied for tumor imaging in tumor-bearing mice in vivo. Conclusion Therefore, EZAP nanocomposite showed high microwave sensitization, excellent fluorescence properties and outstanding drug loading capacity, establishing a promising theranostic nanoplatform for tumor therapy and fluorescence imaging. This work proposes a unique strategy to design for the first time a multifunctional nanoplatform with lanthanide metal organic frameworks for biological applications in tumor therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Copper agents have been widely used in crop protection because of their unique mechanism against resistant pathogenic bacteria; however, their application brings environmental pollution and biosafety problems. Therefore, environmentally friendly copper agents have attracted attention. In this study, copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) were prepared, characterized, analyzed for antibacterial activity and safety. RESULTS Characterization results showed that the prepared pure CuS NPs have flake nanostructures, hexagonal crystal system, and size range from 40 to 60 nm. These CuS NPs exerted excellent antibacterial effects [median effective concentration (EC50 ) = 17 mg L-1 ] against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) in vitro and can effectively delay and reduce bacterial infection in vivo. Antibacterial mechanism analysis revealed that CuS NPs can increase the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation and destroy the structure of bacterial cells as observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. These NPs can also inhibit the motility of Pcc. At 7 and 14 days, the 50% lethal concentrations (LC50 ) of CuS NPs against earthworms were 1136 and 783 mg kg-1 , respectively, indicating their low acute toxicity to earthworms and environmental friendliness. Furthermore, the cells (L02) treated by CuS NPs showed relatively high cell viability (> 96%) and low apoptosis rate (only 5.2%), proving that CuS NPs had low cytotoxicity. CONCLUSION Compared with commercial dicopper chloride trihydroxide (Cu2 (OH)3 Cl), CuS NPs could be used as a highly effective, lowly toxic, and environmentally friendly antibacterial agent. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The complexity of the nervous system structure and function, and its slow regeneration rate, makes it more difficult to treat compared to other tissues in the human body when an injury occurs. Moreover, the current therapeutic approaches including the use of autografts, allografts, and pharmacological agents have several drawbacks and can not fully restore nervous system injuries. Recently, nanotechnology and tissue engineering approaches have attracted many researchers to guide tissue regeneration in an effective manner. Owing to their remarkable physicochemical and biological properties, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have been extensively studied in the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field. The great conductivity of these materials makes them a promising candidate for the development of novel scaffolds for neural tissue engineering application. Moreover, the high loading capacity of 2D nanomaterials also has attracted many researchers to utilize them as a drug/gene delivery method to treat various devastating nervous system disorders. This review will first introduce the fundamental physicochemical properties of 2D nanomaterials used in biomedicine and the supporting biological properties of 2D nanomaterials for inducing neuroregeneration, including their biocompatibility on neural cells, the ability to promote the neural differentiation of stem cells, and their immunomodulatory properties which are beneficial for alleviating chronic inflammation at the site of the nervous system injury. It also discusses various types of 2D nanomaterials-based scaffolds for neural tissue engineering applications. Then, the latest progress on the use of 2D nanomaterials for nervous system disorder treatment is summarized. Finally, a discussion of the challenges and prospects of 2D nanomaterials-based applications in neural tissue engineering is provided.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an anticancer drug target for a number of cancers, such as non-small cell lung cancer. However, unsatisfying treatment effects, terrible side-effects, and development of drug resistance are current insurmountable challenges of EGFR targeting treatments for cancers. With the advancement of nanotechnology, an increasing number of inorganic nanomaterials are applied in EGFR-mediated therapy to improve those limitations and further potentiate the efficacy of molecular targeted cancer therapy. Given their facile preparation, easy modification, and biosecurity, inorganic nanoparticles (iNPs) have been extensively explored in cancer treatments to date. This review presents an overview of the application of some typical metal nanoparticles and nonmetallic nanoparticles in EGFR-targeted therapy, then discusses and summarizes the relevant advantages. Moreover, we also highlight future perspectives regarding their remaining issues. We hope these discussions inspire future research on EGFR-targeted iNPs.

Copper Chalcogenide-Copper Tetrahedrite Composites-A New Concept for Stable Thermoelectric Materials Based on the Chalcogenide System. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14102635.

Abstract
For the first time, an alternative way of improving the stability of Cu-based thermoelectric materials is proposed, with the investigation of two different copper chalcogenide-copper tetrahedrite composites, rich in sulfur and selenium anions, respectively. Based on the preliminary DFT results, which indicate the instability of Sb-doped copper chalcogenide, the Cu1.97S-Cu12Sb4S13 and Cu2-xSe-Cu3SbSe3 composites are obtained using melt-solidification techniques, with the tetrahedrite phase concentration varying from 1 to 10 wt.%. Room temperature structural analysis (XRD, SEM) indicates the two-phase structure of the materials, with ternary phase precipitates embed within the copper chalcogenide matrix. The proposed solution allows for successful blocking of excessive Cu migration, with stable electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient values over subsequent thermal cycles. The materials exhibit a p-type, semimetallic character with high stability, represented by a near-constant power factor (PF)-temperature dependences between individual cycles. Finally, the thermoelectric figure-of-merit ZT parameter reaches about 0.26 (623 K) for the Cu1.97S-Cu12Sb4S13 system, in which case increasing content of tetrahedrite is a beneficial effect, and about 0.44 (623 K) for the Cu2-xSe-Cu3SbSe3 system, where increasing the content of Cu3SbSe3 negatively influences the thermoelectric performance.
