Abstract
The effects of pH, MNP concentration, and medium viscosity on the magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) properties of chitosan-coated superparamagnetic Fe3O4nanoparticles (MNPs) are probed here. Due to the protonation of the amide groups, the MNPs are colloidally stable at lower pH (∼2), but form aggregates at higher pH (∼8). The increased aggregate size at higher pH causes the Brownian relaxation time (τB) to increase, leading to a decrease in specific absorption rate (SAR). For colloidal conditions ensuring Brownian-dominated relaxation dynamics, an increase in MNP concentrations or medium viscosity is found to increase theτB. SAR decreases with increasing MNP concentration, whereas it exhibits a non-monotonic variation with increasing medium viscosity. Dynamic hysteresis loop-based calculations are found to be in agreement with the experimental results. The findings provide a greater understanding of the variation of SAR with the colloidal properties and show the importance of relaxation dynamics on MFH efficiency, where variations in the frequency-relaxation time product across the relaxation plateau cause significant variations in SAR. Further, thein vitrocytotoxicity studies show good bio-compatibility of the chitosan-coated Fe3O4MNPs. Higher SAR at acidic pH for bio-medically acceptable field parameters makes the bio-compatible chitosan-coated Fe3O4MNPs suitable for MFH applications.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoparticulate systems (TNPs) have shown potential in addressing problems related to spatial localization and temporally controlled release of drugs with the capabilities of real-time imaging to evaluate the progress of therapy. The current study reports the ultrasonic atomization-led synthesis of in vitro and in vivo evaluations of ultrasmall chitosan-based theranostic nanohybrid formulations with encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX) and iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles. The nanohybrid particles are characterized using transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR, DOX encapsulation efficiency, in vitro release, cellular uptake, and toxicity. These formulations were also tested for the capability of invivo tumor reduction and simultaneous magnetic resonance imaging using Swiss albino mice. Ultrasonic atomizer-led synthesis resulted in chitosan-magnetic nanohybrids (CMNPs) having sizes of 15 ± 3 nm which comprise MNP of 10 ± 3 nm. The encapsulation of DOX in CMNP was around 25%, resulting in an 80% sustained release over 10 days at pH 5 and 7. CMNP was also found to be an efficient DOX delivery vehicle tested on cancer cells (HeLa). The CMNPs were able to reduce the tumor volume by 60% in 15 days. The inherent magnetic property and nanoscale size of CMNPs also provided for enhanced contrast efficiency in magnetic resonance imaging of tumors. Thus, such multifunctional theranostic nanoparticles can be an efficient tool for targeted diagnostic and therapeutic success.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have attracted research interest for their noninvasive nature and selective treatment of tumor tissues. They are effective through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or heat. Nevertheless, several problems, including low bioavailability and long-lasting cutaneous photosensitivity, have limited their clinical application. In this study, we reported an in situ self-assembly strategy that could improve various biological properties of the photosensitizer in vivo. A photosensitizer connected to a receptor-mediated smart peptide can self-assemble into nanoparticles (NPs) under the force of hydrophobic interaction and then transform into a nanofibrillar network after attaching to the tumor cell surface with the help of the β-sheet-forming peptide KLVFF. The supramolecular structural changes deeply affected the PDT and PTT properties of the photosensitizer on tumors. After being aggregated into the nanostructure, the water solubility and targeting ability of the photosensitizer was ameliorated. Moreover, the improvement of the photothermal conversion efficiency, ROS generation, and tumor retention followed the formation of nanofibrils (NFs). This self-assembly strategy showed the ability of supramolecular nanofibrils to improve the bioavailability of photosensitizers, which provides a new potential treatment avenue for various cancer therapies.

Abstract
Regulation of cellular oxidative stress plays a critical role in revealing the molecular mechanisms of cellular activities and thus is a potential strategy for tumor treatment. Optical methods have been employed for intelligent regulation of oxidative stress in tumor regions. However, long-time continuous irradiation inevitably causes damage to normal tissues. Herein, a ferrocene-containing nucleic acid-based energy-storage nanoagent was designed to achieve the continuous photo-regulation of cellular oxidative stress in the dark. Specifically, the photoenergy stored in the agent could convert effectively and accelerate Fenton-like reaction continuously, augmenting cellular oxidative stress. This nanoagent could also silence oxidative damage repair genes to further amplify oxidative stress. This strategy not only provides oxidative stress regulation for studying the molecular mechanisms of biological activities, but also offers a promising step toward tumor microenvironment modulation.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-mediated light-activated therapies, such as photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy, are earnestly being viewed as efficient interventional strategies against several cancer types. Theranostics is a key hallmark of cancer nanomedicine since it allows diagnosis and therapy of both primary and metastatic cancer using a single nanoprobe. Advanced in vivo diagnostic imaging using theranostic nanoparticles not only provides precise information about the location of tumor/s but also outlines the narrow time window corresponding to the maximum tumor-specific drug accumulation. Such information plays a critical role in guiding light-activated therapies with high spatio-temporal accuracy. Furthermore, theranostics facilitates monitoring the progression of therapy in real time. Herein, we provide a general review of the application of theranostic nanoparticles for in vivo image-guided light-activated therapy in cancer. The imaging modalities considered here include fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, thermal imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and single-photon emission computed tomography. The review concludes with a brief discussion about the broad scope of theranostic light-activated nanomedicine.

Abstract
We report periodic mesoporous ionosilica nanoparticles (PMINPs) as versatile nano-objects for imaging, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and efficient adsorption and delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) into breast cancer cells. In order to endow these nanoparticles with PDT and siRNA photochemical internalization (PCI) properties, a porphyrin derivative was integrated into the ionosilica framework. For this purpose, we synthesized PMINPs via hydrolysis-cocondensation procedures from oligosilylated ammonium and porphyrin precursors. The formation of these nano-objects was proved by transmission electron microscopy. The formed nanoparticles were then thoroughly characterized via solid-state NMR, nitrogen sorption, dynamic light scattering, and UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. Our results indicate the formation of highly porous nanorods with a length of 108 ± 9 nm and a width of 54 ± 4 nm. A significant PDT effect of type I mechanism (95 ± 2.8% of cell death) was observed upon green light irradiation in nanoparticle-treated breast cancer cells, while the blue light irradiation caused a significant phototoxic effect in non-treated cells. Furthermore, PMINPs formed stable complexes with siRNA (up to 24 h), which were efficiently internalized into the cells after 4 h of incubation mostly with the energy-dependent endocytosis process. The PCI effect was obvious with green light irradiation and successfully led to 83 ± 1.1% silencing of the luciferase gene in luciferase-expressing breast cancer cells, while no gene silencing effect was observed with blue light irradiation. The present work highlights the high potential of porphyrin-doped PMINPs as multifunctional nanocarriers for nucleic acids, such as siRNA, with a triple ability to perform imaging, PDT, and PCI.

Abstract
Hydrophobic photosensitizers greatly affect cell permeability and enrichment in tumors, but they cannot be used directly for clinical applications because they always aggregate in water, preventing their circulation in the blood and accumulation in tumor cells. As a result, amphiphilic photosensitizers are highly desirable. Although nanomaterial-based photosensitizers can solve water solubility, they have the disadvantages of complicated operation, poor reproducibility, low drug loading, and poor stability. In this work, an efficient synthesis strategy is proposed that converts small molecules into nanoparticles in 100 % aqueous solution by molecular assembly without the addition of any foreign species. Three photosensitizers with triphenylphosphine units and ethylene glycol chains of different lengths, TPP-PPh3 , TPP-PPh3 -2PEG and TPP-PPh3 -4PEG, were synthesized to improve amphiphilicity. Of the three photosensitizers, TPP-PPh3 -4PEG is the most efficient (singlet oxygen yield: 0.89) for tumor photodynamic therapy not only because of its definite constituent, but also because its amphiphilic structure allows it to self-assemble in water.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanotheranostics have been widely explored for precision medicine. Here, we developed a pH/light dual-stimuli-responsive nanotheranostic agent for biological/physical dual-targeting photothermal-enhanced chemotherapy of U87MG tumor. This nanotheranostic agent was composed of the RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptide, melanin-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MMNs), doxorubicin (DOX), and indocyanine green (ICG), denoted as RMDI. The tumor accumulation of RMDI was simultaneously improved through biological active targeting by RGD and physical magnetic targeting by an external magnetic field at tumor tissues, which was proven by in vivo photoacoustic/magnetic resonance/fluorescence (PA/MR/FL) trimodal imaging. Under dual stimuli of the tumor acidic microenvironment and laser irradiation, both DOX and ICG were released in a controlled fashion, demonstrating impressive therapeutic outcomes against U87MG tumor both in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Owing to the synergistic photothermal/chemotherapy, the dual-stimuli-responsive and dual-targeting nanotheranostic agent completely ablated U87MG tumor in vivo without any tumor recurrence and biotoxicity. This nanotheranostic agent exhibited great potential in multimodal imaging-guided synergistic therapy of cancer.

Abstract
The role and scope of functional inorganic nanoparticles in biomedical research is well established. Among these, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have gained maximum attention as they can provide targeting, imaging and therapeutic capabilities. Furthermore, incorporation of organic optical probes with IONPs can significantly enhance the scope and viability of their biomedical applications. Combination of two or more such applications renders multimodality in nanoparticles, which can be exploited to obtain synergistic benefits in disease detection and therapy viz theranostics, which is a key trait of nanoparticles for advanced biomedical applications. This review focuses on the use of IONPs conjugated with organic optical probe/s for multimodal diagnostic and therapeutic applications in vivo.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have played a pivotal role in the development of nanomedicine owing to their versatile functions at the nanoscale, which facilitates targeted delivery, high contrast imaging, and on-demand therapy. Some biomedical inadequacies of IONPs on their own, such as the poor resolution of IONP-based Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), can be overcome by co-incorporating optical probes onto them, which can be either molecule- or nanoparticulate-based. Optical probe incorporated IONPs, together with two prominent non-ionizing radiation sources (i.e., magnetic field and light), enable a myriad of biomedical applications from early detection to targeted treatment of various diseases. In this context, many research articles are in the public domain on magneto-optical nanoparticles; discussed in detail are fabrication strategies for their application in the biomedical field; however, lacking is a comprehensive review on real-life applications in vivo, their toxicity, and the prospect of bench-to-bedside clinical studies. Therefore, in this review, we focused on selecting such important nanocomposites where IONPs become the magnetic component, conjugated with various types of optical probes; we clearly classified them into class 1 to class 6 categories and present only in vivo studies. In addition, we briefly discuss the potential toxicity of such nanocomposites and their respective challenges for clinical translations.

Abstract
Early cancer detection and perfect understanding of the disease are imperative toward efficient treatments. It is straightforward that, for choosing a specific cancer treatment methodology, diagnostic agents undertake a critical role. Imaging is an extremely intriguing tool since it assumes a follow up to treatments to survey the accomplishment of the treatment and to recognize any conceivable repeating injuries. It also permits analysis of the disease, as well as to pursue treatment and monitor the possible changes that happen on the tumor. Likewise, it allows screening the adequacy of treatment and visualizing the state of the tumor. Additionally, when the treatment is finished, observing the patient is imperative to evaluate the treatment methodology and adjust the treatment if necessary. The goal of this review is to present an overview of conjugated photosensitizers for imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Natural hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) water-retaining materials with a skeleton consisting of natural polymers, their derivatives or mixtures. Natural hydrogels can provide sustained or controlled drug release and possess some unique properties of natural polymers, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility and some additional functions, such as CD44 targeting of hyaluronic acid. Natural hydrogels can be used with photosensitizers (PSs) in photodynamic therapy (PDT) to increase the range of applications. In the current review, the pertinent design variables are discussed along with a description of the categories of natural hydrogels available for PDT.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems (DDS) can be designed to enrich the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of several drugs. Many of the initial obstacles that impeded the clinical applications of conventional DDS have been overcome with nanotechnology-based DDS, especially those formed by chitosan (CS). CS is a linear polysaccharide obtained by the deacetylation of chitin, which has potential properties such as biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, non-toxicity, high bioavailability, simplicity of modification, aqueous solubility, and excellent chemical resistance. Furthermore, CS can prepare several DDS as films, gels, nanoparticles, and microparticles to improve delivery of drugs, such as photosensitizers (PS). Thus, CS-based DDS are broadly investigated for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer and fungal and bacterial diseases. In PDT, a PS is activated by light of a specific wavelength, which provokes selective damage to the target tissue and its surrounding vasculature, but most PS have low water solubility and cutaneous photosensitivity impairing the clinical use of PDT. Based on this, the application of nanotechnology using chitosan-based DDS in PDT may offer great possibilities in the treatment of diseases. Therefore, this review presents numerous applications of chitosan-based DDS in order to improve the PDT for cancer and fungal and bacterial diseases.

Abstract
The cancer incidence world-wide has caused an increase in the demand for effective forms of treatment. One unconventional form of treatment for cancer is photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT has 3 fundamental factors, namely a photosensitiser (PS) drug, light and oxygen. When a PS drug is administered to a patient, it can either passively or actively accumulate within a tumour site and once exposed to a specific wavelength of light, it is excited to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in tumour destruction. However, the efficacy of ROS generation for tumour damage is highly dependent on the uptake of the PS in tumour cells. Thus, PS selective/targeted uptake and delivery in tumour cells is a crucial factor in PDT cancer drug absorption studies. Generally, within non-targeted drug delivery mechanisms, only minor amounts of PS are able to passively accumulate in tumour sites (due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect) and the remainder distributes into healthy tissues, causing unwanted side effects and poor treatment prognosis. Thus, to improve the efficacy of PDT cancer treatment, research is currently focused on the development of specific receptor-based PS-nanocarrier platform drugs, which promote the active uptake and absorption of PS drugs in tumour sites only, avoiding unwanted side effects, as well as treatment enhancement. Therefore, the aim of this review paper is to focus on current actively targeted or passively delivered PS nanoparticle drug delivery systems, that have been previously investigated for the PDT treatment of cancer and so to deduce their overall efficacy and recent advancements.

Abstract
In this review, we focus on recent advances in the synthesis of polymer-functionalized transition-metal-based nanomaterials and follow this up by discussing their applications in bioimaging diagnosis and cancer therapy. Transition-metal-based nanomaterials show great potential in cancer therapy owing to their intensive near-IR absorption, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, strong X-ray attenuation, and magnetic properties. Functional polymers are usually introduced by a one-step or multistep method to further endow these nanomaterials with great biocompatibility and physiological stability. Polymer-decorated transition-metal nanomaterials show great potential in multimodal imaging diagnosis (photoacoustic imaging, computed tomography, photoluminescence imaging, positron emission tomography, etc.) and cancer therapy (chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, microwave therapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy). At the end of this review, the prospects of these polymer-decorated transition-metal-based nanomaterials are also discussed.

Abstract
Employing nanoscaled materials as photosensitizer (PS) carriers is an effective strategy to solve the problem of poor solubility and low tumor selectivity of hydrophobic PS in photodynamic therapy (PDT), which compulsorily requires the PS release in PDT implementation. However, the complicated environment in vivo makes it difficult to precisely design and control the release process and the delivery process requires real-time tracking. Developing a delivery strategy of hydrophobic PS in the monomeric form with fluorescent emission and without consideration of the PS release in the PDT process, is in urgent demand. Herein, we report a versatile and potent strategy for fabrication of photodynamic nanoparticles (nanoPSs) with featuring the monomeric PS based on aromatic peptide-modulated self-assembly of porphyrin derivatives. Aromatic peptides within nanoPSs can isolate hydrophobic porphyrins from each other, resulting in monomeric porphyrin delivery with real-time fluorescence tracking property and avoiding self-aggregation and hence porphyrin release. Moreover, partially charged porphyrins tend to expose on the surface of nanoPSs, facilitating production and diffusion of 1O2. The highest 1O2 yield can be achieved with porphyrin loading as low as 6 wt %, reducing side effects of excessive porphyrin injection. The nanoPSs show enhanced PDT efficacy in vitro and in vivo leading to complete tumor eradication. This study highlights opportunities for development of active photodynamic nanoparticles and provides an alternative strategy for delivery of hydrophobic photosensitive drugs with enhanced therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Medical applications and biotechnological advances, including magnetic resonance imaging, cell separation and detection, tissue repair, magnetic hyperthermia and drug delivery, have strongly benefited from employing iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) due to their remarkable properties, such as superparamagnetism, size and possibility of receiving a biocompatible coating. Ongoing research efforts focus on reducing drug concentration, toxicity, and other side effects, while increasing efficacy of IONPs-based treatments. This review highlights the methods of synthesis and presents the most recent reports in the literature regarding advances in drug delivery using IONPs-based systems, as well as their antimicrobial activity against different microorganisms. Furthermore, the toxicity of IONPs alone and constituting nanosystems is also addressed.

Abstract
Herein, a theranostic liposome (QSC-Lip) integrated with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and quantum dots (QDs) and cilengitide (CGT) into one platform is constructed to target glioma under magnetic targeting (MT) for guiding surgical resection of glioma. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirm the complete coencapsulation of SPIONs and QDs in liposome. Besides, CGT is also effectively encapsulated into the liposome with an encapsulation efficiency of ∼88.9%. QSC-Lip exhibits a diameter of 100 ± 1.24 nm, zeta potential of -17.10 ± 0.11 mV, and good stability in several mediums. Moreover, each cargo shows a biphasic release pattern from QSC-Lip, a rapid initial release within initial 10 h followed by a sustained release. Cellular uptake of QSC-Lip is significantly enhanced by C6 cells under MT. In vivo dual-imaging studies show that QSC-Lip not only produces an obvious negative-contrast enhancement effect on glioma by magnetic resonance imaging but also makes tumor emitting fluorescence under MT. The dual-imaging of QSC-Lip guides the accurate resection of glioma by surgery. Besides, CGT is also specifically distributed to glioma after administration of QSC-Lip under MT, resulting in an effective inhibition of tumors. The integrated liposome may be a potential carrier for theranostics of tumor.

Abstract
Porphyrins are organic heterocyclic macrocycles with photophysical properties well-suited for clinical phototherapy and cancer imaging. However, their wider application in the clinical management of disease is barred by poor aqueous solubility, bioavailability, tumour accumulation and skin phototoxicity. These limitations instigated the development of supramolecular platforms that improved porphyrin pharmacokinetics and tumour-homing. The supramolecular formulation of porphyrins also facilitates single agent-mediated deeper tissue photoactivation, extended imaging and theranostic multimodality, and synergistic application of multiple therapies. Supramolecular porphyrin structures can overcome additional limitations of porphyrin-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT), including low depths of tissue penetration that restrict PDT to superficial lesions, inability to treat hypoxic tumours, and incomplete tumour damage. In this review, we discuss the photophysical properties of porphyrins, and overview the clinically-relevant advantages and challenges arising from their incorporation within supramolecular platforms. Specifically, fundamentals underlying the ability of these platforms to ameliorate passive and active porphyrin delivery to tumours, achieve deeper tissue PDT via red-shifted porphyrin Q-bands, energy transfer and sonodynamic effects, and enable new porphyrin-mediated theranostics and synergistic therapeutic capabilities will be explained and exemplified with seminal and cutting-edge in vivo studies.

[PMID: 28551549 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2017.05.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2017] [Revised: 05/09/2017] [Accepted: 05/09/2017] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is emerging as a promising method for the treatment of various cancer diseases. However, the clinical application of PDT is limited due to the lack of effective photosensitizers. In this study, a novel chlorophyll derivative, N,N-bis(2-carboxyethyl)pyropheophorbide a (BPPA), had been synthesized and characterized. BPPA had a characteristic long wavelength absorption peak at 669nm and a singlet oxygen quantum yield of 0.54. To investigate the photodynamic ability of BPPA against cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), cellular uptake, subcellular location and bio-distribution, in vitro and in vivo PDT efficacy of BPPA were studied. The results showed that BPPA could rapidly accumulate in QBC-939 cells and localize in the cytoplasm. BPPA- PDT was effective in reducing the cell viability in a drug dose- and light dose-dependent manner in vitro. In CCA xenograft nude mouse model, the concentration of BPPA in the plasma lowered rapidly, and the fluorescence signal peaked at 0.5h and 2h after injection in the skin and tumor, respectively. Significant quantities could be observed in the tumor. BPPA followed by irradiation could significantly inhibit growth of tumors, and histological examination revealed necrotic damage in PDT-treated tumors. These results suggested that BPPA could be a promising drug candidate for photodynamic therapy in cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
In order to translate nanotechnology into medical practice, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been presented as a class of non-invasive nanomaterials for numerous biomedical applications. In particular, MNPs have opened a door for simultaneous diagnosis and brisk treatment of diseases in the form of theranostic agents. This review highlights the recent advances in preparation and utilization of MNPs from the synthesis and functionalization steps to the final design consideration in evading the body immune system for therapeutic and diagnostic applications with addressing the most recent examples of the literature in each section. This study provides a conceptual framework of a wide range of synthetic routes classified mainly as wet chemistry, state-of-the-art microfluidic reactors, and biogenic routes, along with the most popular coating materials to stabilize resultant MNPs. Additionally, key aspects of prolonging the half-life of MNPs via overcoming the sequential biological barriers are covered through unraveling the biophysical interactions at the bio-nano interface and giving a set of criteria to efficiently modulate MNPs' physicochemical properties. Furthermore, concepts of passive and active targeting for successful cell internalization, by respectively exploiting the unique properties of cancers and novel targeting ligands are described in detail. Finally, this study extensively covers the recent developments in magnetic drug targeting and hyperthermia as therapeutic applications of MNPs. In addition, multi-modal imaging via fusion of magnetic resonance imaging, and also innovative magnetic particle imaging with other imaging techniques for early diagnosis of diseases are extensively provided.

Abstract
A multifunctional nanoplatform based on black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) was developed for cancer bioimaging and combined photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). BPQDs were functionalized with PEG chains to achieve improved biocompatibility and physiological stability. The as-prepared nanoparticles exhibite prominent near-infrared (NIR) photothermal and red-light-triggered photodynamic properties. The combined therapeutic application of PEGylated BPQDs were then performed in vitro and in vivo. The results demonstrate that the combined phototherapy significantly promote the therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatment in comparison with PTT or PDT alone. BPQDs could also serve as the loading platform for fluorescent molecules, allowing reliable imaging of cancer cells. In addition, the low cytotoxicity and negligible side effects to main organs were observed in toxicity experiments. The theranostic characteristics of PEGylated BPQDs provide an uplifting potential for the future clinical applications.

Abstract
A multifunctional theranostic platform based on conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) with tumor targeting, fluorescence detection, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT) is developed for effective cancer imaging and therapy. Two conjugated polymers, poly[9,9-bis(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)-ethyl)fluorenyldivinylene]-alt-4,7-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) with bright red emission and photosensitizing ability and poly[(4,4,9,9-tetrakis(4-(octyloxy)phenyl)-4,9-dihydro-s-indacenol-dithiophene-2,7-diyl)-alt-co-4,9-bis(thiophen-2-yl)-6,7-bis(4-(hexyloxy)phenyl)-thiadiazolo-quinoxaline] with strong near-infrared absorption and excellent photothermal conversion ability are co-loaded into one single CPN via encapsulation approach using lipid-polyethylene glycol as the matrix. The obtained co-loaded CPNs show sizes of around 30 nm with a high singlet oxygen quantum yield of 60.4% and an effective photothermal conversion efficiency of 47.6%. The CPN surface is further decorated with anti-HER2 affibody, which bestows the resultant anti-HER2-CPNs superior selectivity toward tumor cells with HER2 overexpression both in vitro and in vivo. Under light irradiation, the PDT and PTT show synergistic therapeutic efficacy, which provides new opportunities for the development of multifunctional biocompatible organic materials in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapies involve the irradiation of target tissues with light. To further enhance selectivity and potency, numerous molecularly targeted photosensitizers and photoactive nanoparticles have been developed. Active targeting typically involves harnessing the affinity between a ligand and a cell surface receptor for improved accumulation in the targeted tissue. Targeting ligands including peptides, proteins, aptamers and small molecules have been explored for phototherapy. In this review, recent examples of targeted nanomaterials used in phototherapy are summarized.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials serve as a type of smart material for photo-triggered disease theranostics. The inherent physicochemical properties of these nanomaterials facilitate their use for less invasive treatments. This review summarizes the properties and applications of materials including fullerene, nanotubes, nanohorns, nanodots and nanographenes for photodynamic nanomedicine in cancer and antimicrobial therapies. Carbon nanomaterials themselves do not usually act as photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents owing to the high hydrophobicity, however, when the surface is passivated or functionalized, these materials become great vehicles for PDT. Moreover, conjugation of carbonaceous nanomaterials with the photosensitizer (PS) and relevant targeting ligands enhances properties such as selectivity, stability, and high quantum yield, making them readily available for versatile biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this paper, we aimed to develop a conjugate of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2)-sensitive activable cell-penetrating peptide (R9GPLGLAGE8, ACPP) with protoporphyrin (PpIX) for tumor-targeting photodynamic therapy. In normal tissue, the cell-penetrating function of polycationic CPP (R9) would be blocked by a polyanionic peptide (E8) through intramolecular electrostatic attraction. Once exposed to MMP-2 existing at the tumor site, proteolysis of the oligopeptide linker (GPLGLAG) between the CPP and the polyanionic peptide would dissociate the inhibitory polyanions and release CPP-PpIX for photodynamic therapy (PDT). It was found that after tail vein injection the ACPP-PpIX conjugate could accumulate effectively at the tumor site with the fluorescence enhancement which was beneficial for tumor diagnosis and image-guided PDT. After further administration with irradiation, both the solid tumor size and weight had a significant suppression (reduced by more than 90%) with a low systemic toxicity. This ACPP-PpIX conjugate delivery system activated by MMP-2 would be a promising strategy for tumor-targeted treatment.

Abstract
A layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly strategy was used to incorporate high concentrations of Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid (AlPcS4) photosensitizer (PS) onto plasmonic Au nanorings (Au NRs) for increasing the cellular uptake of AlPcS4 and subsequently enhancing the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) of human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) in the near-infrared (NIR) range. Au NRs with two layers of AlPcS4 (Au NR/(AlPcS4)2) markedly increased the cellular internalization of AlPcS4 and elevated the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Quenching the photosensitivity of AlPcS4 on the Au NR surface during the uptake and then significant ROS formation only upon PS release inside the cellular compartment made it possible to achieve a high PDT specificity and efficacy. PDT of breast cancer cells following 4 h of incubation with various formula revealed the following cell destruction rate: ∼10% with free AlPcS4, ∼23% with singly layered Au NR/(AlPcS4)1 complex, and ∼50% with doubly layered Au NR/(AlPcS4)2. Incubation with Au NR/(AlPcS4)2 for an additional 2 h resulted in ∼85% cell killing, more than 8-fold increase compared to AlPcS4 alone. Together, integration of LbL of PS with Au NRs holds a significant promise for PDT therapeutic treatment of a variety of cancers.

Abstract
A supercritical carbon dioxide (SCC)-assisted process was developed to synthesize protein-supported poly (2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)/ferrite nanocomposites (PNCs). The process involve 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile-initiated in situ polymerization of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate in presence of ferrite nanoparticles and bisacrylamide at 90 ± 1 °C, 1200 psi over 6 h in SCC. This was followed by subsequent loading of bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein over PNCs in phosphate buffer (PBS, pH 7.4) at 1200 psi, 35 ± 1 °C over additional 2 h in SCC. The formation of PNCs was ascertained through ultraviolet-visible, Fourier transform-infrared, X-ray diffraction spectra, transmission electron, atomic force microscopy and magnetometry. The developed process extends large scale production of nanomagnetic PNCs suitable as carrier for protein release applications with optimal release properties. The release of protein from PNCs under in vitro in PBS down to nanomolar range with high temporal resolution, speed and reproducibility was quantified through square wave voltammetry.

Abstract
During the cancer treatment, one of the successful methods is to inject the blood vessels which are closest to the tumor with magnetic nanoparticles along with placing a magnet nearer to the tumor. The dynamics of these nanoparticles may happen under the action of the peristaltic waves generated on the walls of tapered asymmetric channel. Analyzing this type of nanofluid flow under such action may highly be supportive in treating cancer tissues. In this study, a newly described peristaltic transport of Carreau nanofluids under the effect of a magnetic field in the tapered asymmetric channel are analytically investigated. Exact expressions for temperature field, nanoparticle fraction field, axial velocity, stream function, pressure gradient and shear stress are derived under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. Finally, the effects of various emerging parameters on the physical quantities of interest are discussed. It is found that the pressure rise increases with increase in Hartmann Number and thermophoresis parameter.

Abstract
Photodynamic cancer therapy is still limited in its efficiency because of a lack of targeted methods avoiding non-specific toxicity. To overcome this we developed a system that is solely effective upon cellular uptake and intracellular activation by incorporating redox-sensitive chemistry. We used a nanoprecipitation method to obtain human serum albumin nanoparticles (HSA NP) with a diameter of 295 ± 5 nm and decorated them with the photosensitizer (PS) chlorin e6 (Ce6). The NP were stabilized using a redox-sensitive cross-linker to create a smart drug delivery system that is activated only upon NP disintegration in the reducing intracellular environment. Indeed, our drug delivery NP broke down in an environment emulating the reducing intracellular environment with 10 mM glutathione, but not under extracellular conditions. In contrast, the control cross-linked with glutaraldehyde did not break down in the reducing environment. Upon NP disintegration Ce6 fluorescence doubled as the result of diminished self-quenching. While the Ce6-HSA NP did not produce a significant amount of singlet oxygen upon irradiation, NP disintegration restored singlet oxygen production to about half of the value generated by the free Ce6. In vitro experiments with HeLa cells showed that the smart system was able to kill up to 81% of the cells while the glutaraldehyde cross-linked control only killed 56% of them at a drug concentration of 10 ng/ml. Also, Ce6 immobilization in HSA NP prevented dark toxicity in three different cell lines. For the first time, we demonstrate that it is possible to design a smart NP drug delivery system delivering a PS drug to cancer cells while avoiding toxicity prior to the uptake and irradiation. This finding may provide a means of designing more efficient PDT in cancer treatment.
