Abstract
Functional imaging (FI) techniques have revolutionized tumor imaging by providing information on specific tumor functions, such as glycometabolism. However, tumor cells lack unique molecular characteristics at the molecular level and metabolic pathways, resulting in limited metabolic differences compared to normal cells and increased background signals from FI. To address this limitation, we developed a novel imaging technique termed proximity-enhanced functional imaging (PEFI) for accurate visualization of tumors. By using "two adjacent chemically labeled glycoproteins" as output signals, we significantly enhance the metabolic differences between tumor and normal cells by PEFI, thereby reducing the background signals for analysis and improving the accuracy of tumor functional imaging. Our results demonstrate that PEFI can accurately identify tumors at the cellular, tissue, and animal level, and has potential value in clinical identification and analysis of tumor cells and tissues, as well as in the guidance of clinical tumor resection surgery.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in early detection and personalized treatment, cancer is still among the leading causes of death globally. One of the possible anticancer approaches that is presently receiving a lot of attention is the development of nanocarriers capable of specific and efficient delivery of anticancer drugs. Graphene-based materials are promising nanocarriers in this respect, due to their high drug loading capacity and biocompatibility. In this review, we present an overview on the interactions of graphene-based materials with normal mammalian cells at the molecular level as well as cellular and subcellular levels, including plasma membrane, cytoskeleton, and membrane-bound organelles such as lysosomes, mitochondria, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and peroxisome. In parallel, we assemble the knowledge about the interactions of graphene-based materials with cancerous cells, that are considered as the potential applications of these materials for cancer therapy including metastasis treatment, targeted drug delivery, and differentiation to non-cancer stem cells. We highlight the influence of key parameters, such as the size and surface chemistry of graphene-based materials that govern the efficiency of internalization and biocompatibility of these particles in vitro and in vivo. Finally, this review aims to correlate the key parameters of graphene-based nanomaterials specially graphene oxide, such as size and surface modifications, to their interactions with the cancerous and non-cancerous cells for designing and engineering them for bio-applications and especially for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Nano-tumor interactions are fundamental for cancer nanotherapy, and the cross-talk of nanomedicines with the extracellular matrix (ECM) is increasingly considered essential. Here, we specifically investigate the nano-ECM interactivity using drug-free nanoparticulates (NPs) and highly metastatic cancer cells as models. We discover with surprise that NPs closely bind to specific types of ECM components, namely, retraction fibers (RFs) and migrasomes, which are located at the rear of tumor cells during their migration. This interaction is observed to alter cell morphology, limit cell motion range and change cell adhesion. Importantly, NPs are demonstrated to inhibit tumor cell removal in vitro, and their anti-metastasis potential is preliminarily confirmed in vivo. Mechanically, the NPs are found to coat and form a rigid shell on the surface of migrasomes and retraction fibers via interaction with lipid raft/caveolae substructures. In this way, NPs block the recognition, endocytosis and elimination of migrasomes by their surrounding tumor cells. Thereby, NPs interfere with the cell-ECM interaction and reduce the promotion effect of migrasomes on cell movement. Additionally, NPs trigger alteration of the expression of proteins related to cell-cell adhesion and cytoskeleton organization, which also restricts cell migration. In summary, all the findings here provide a potential target for anti-tumor metastasis nanomedicines.
