[PMID: 38817439 PMCID: PMC11134228 DOI: 10.1039/d4na00050a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
The development of novel nanosheet-based drug delivery systems requires a systematic understanding of the interactions between the drug and the nanosheet carrier under various physiological environments. In this work, we investigated electronic and quantum molecular descriptors of a SiC monolayer adsorbed with the anticancer drugs nitrosourea (NU) and carmustine (BCNU) using density functional theory (DFT). Our calculations revealed negative adsorption energies for both drugs, indicating a spontaneous and energetically favorable adsorption process. Density of states and orbital population analysis studies revealed that both drugs are capable of significantly (>30%) narrowing the gap between HOMO and LUMO, depending on the configuration of the adsorption complex. Furthermore, the electronic and quantum molecular descriptors were investigated in gas and water mediums to explore the effect of the solvent on the adsorption process. Our calculations predict a higher narrowing of the HOMO-LUMO gap in the water phase compared to the gas phase. Besides, a modest reduction in global hardness and a marked increase in the global electrophilicity index were observed after the adsorption of the drug molecules by the SiC nanosheet, indicating its high reactivity towards both NU and BCNU. Changing the medium to water showed a maximum 2× increase in the global electrophilicity index of the nanosheet for NU and a maximum 7× increase for BCNU. Additionally, the thermodynamic study of the adsorption process indicates that the formation energies at high temperatures are smaller than those at low temperatures, unfolding the potential of SiC nanosheet for application in the phototherapy of these drugs.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP), as a representative metal-free semiconductor, has been extensively explored. It has a higher drug loading capacity in comparison to conventional materials and also possesses excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Furthermore, BP nanosheets can enhance the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, owing to their photothermal effect. However, the inherent instability of BP poses a significant limitation, highlighting the importance of surface modification to enhance its stability. Ischemic stroke (IS) is caused by the occlusion of blood vessels, and its treatment is challenging due to the hindrance caused by the BBB. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify improved methods for bypassing the BBB for more efficient IS treatment. This research devised a novel drug delivery approach based on pterostilbene (Pte) supported by BP nanosheets, modified with polydopamine (PDA) to form BP-Pte@PDA. This system shows robust stability and traverses the BBB using effective photothermal mechanisms. This enables the release of Pte upon pH and NIR stimuli, offering potential therapeutic advantages for treating IS. In a middle cerebral artery occlusion mouse model, the BP-Pte@PDA delivery system significantly reduced infarct size, and brain water content, improved neurological deficits, reduced the TLR4 inflammatory factor expression, and inhibited cell apoptosis. In summary, the drug delivery system fabricated in this study thus demonstrated good stability, therapeutic efficacy, and biocompatibility, rendering it suitable for clinical application.

Abstract
Two-dimensional black phosphorus (2D BP) has attracted significant research interest in the field of biomedical applications due to its unique characteristics, including high biocompatibility, impressive drug-loading efficiency, phototherapeutic ability, and minimal side effects. However, its puckered honeycomb lattice structure with lone-pair electrons of BP leads to higher sensitivity and chemical reactivity towards H2O and O2 molecules, resulting in the degradation of the structure with physical and chemical changes. In our study, we synthesize polyethylene glycol (PEG) and glutathione-stabilized doxorubicin drug-assembled Au nanoparticle (Au-GSH-DOX)-functionalized BP nanosheets (BP-PEG@Au-GSH-DOX) with improved degradation stability, biocompatibility, and tumor-targeting ability. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy indicate the nanoscale degradation behavior of synthesized nanoconjugates in three different environmental exposure conditions, and the results demonstrate the remarkable nanoscale stability of BP-PEG@Au-GSH-DOX against the degradation of BP, which provides significant interest in employing 2D BP-based nanotherapeutic agents for tumor-targeted cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Magnetic two-dimensional nanocomposites (M2D NCs) that synergistically combine magnetic nanomedicine and 2D nanomaterials have emerged in multimodal antitumor therapy, attracting great interest in materials science and biomedical engineering. This review provides a summary of the recent advances of M2D NCs and their multimodal antitumor applications. We first introduce the design and fabrication of M2D NCs, followed by discussing new types of M2D NCs that have been recently reported. Then, a detailed analysis and discussions about the different types of M2D NCs are presented based on the structural categories of 2D NMs, including 2D graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal carbides/nitrides/carbonitrides (MXenes), black phosphorus (BP), layered double hydroxides (LDHs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and other 2D nanomaterials. In particular, we focus on the synthesis strategies, magnetic or optical responsive performance, and the versatile antitumor applications, which include magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), drug delivery, immunotherapy and multimodal imaging. We conclude the review by proposing future developments with an emphasis on the mass production and biodegradation mechanism of the M2D NCs. This work is expected to provide a comprehensive overview to researchers and engineers who are interested in such a research field and promote the clinical translation of M2D NCs in practical applications.

Abstract
Manganese ions (Mn2+)-coordinated nanoparticles have emerged as a promising class of antitumor nanotherapeutics, capable of simultaneously disrupting the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and triggering the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway-dependent antitumor immunity. However, the activation of STING signaling by Mn2+-based monotherapies is suboptimal for comprehensive stimulation of antigen presenting cells and reversal of immunosuppression in the TME. Here, we report the design of a Mn2+/CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) codecorated black phosphorus nanosheet (BPNS@Mn2+/CpG) platform based on the Mn2+ modification of BPNS and subsequent adsorption of synthetic CpG ODNs. The coordination of Mn2+ significantly improved the stability of BPNS and the adsorption of CpG ODNs. The acidic TME and endosomal compartments can disrupt the Mn2+ coordination, triggering pH-responsive release of CpG ODNs and Mn2+ to effectively activate the Toll-like receptor 9 and STING pathways. As a result, M2-type macrophages and immature dendritic cells were strongly stimulated in the TME, thereby increasing T lymphocyte infiltration and reversing the immunosuppression within the TME. Phototherapy and chemodynamic therapy, utilizing the BPNS@Mn2+/CpG platform, have demonstrated efficacy in inducing immunogenic cell death upon 808 nm laser irradiation. Importantly, the treatment of BPNS@Mn2+/CpG with laser irradiation exhibited significant therapeutic efficacy against the irradiated primary tumor and effectively suppressed the growth of nonirradiated distant tumor. Moreover, it induced a robust immune memory, providing long-lasting protection against tumor recurrence. This study demonstrated the enhanced antitumor potency of BPNS@Mn2+/CpG in multimodal therapy, and its proof-of-concept application as a metal ion-modified BPNS material for effective DNA/drug delivery and immunotherapy.

Abstract
To improve the curability of cancer patients, it is essential to propose an early diagnosis technology with ultra-high sensitivity and reliable biocompatibility. Herein, a sophisticated nonmetallic SERS-based immunosensor, comprised by a MoS2 @Fe3O4 nanoflower-based immunoprobe with magnetism and a black phosphorus (BP) nanosheet-based immunosubstrate, was proposed for the specific in-situ monitoring of ferritin (FER). The sandwich immunosensor was endowed with an excellent SERS performance mainly ascribed to a synergistic chemical enhancement as well as an additional electrostatic adsorption effect, achieving a limit of detection down to 7.3 × 10-5 μg/mL. Particularly, all the Raman label, target FER, and anti-FER could be completely degraded within 70 min under visible light irradiation owing to the favorable photocatalytic activities of MoS2 and BP which could be then effectively separated and collected with the assistance of an external magnet. Such a recyclable nonmetallic immunosensor holds great potential and practicality in the clinical screening of cancer.

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

In Situ Biosynthesis of Photothermal Parasite for Fluorescence Imaging-Guided Photothermal Therapy of Tumors. Gels 2022; 8:gels8110754.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been widely known as a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment in recent decades. However, some organic and inorganic photothermal agents exhibit shortcomings including potential long-term toxicity and lack of biodegradability. Biocompatible extracts from plants and animals provide several alternatives for the reformation of photothermal agents. Bio-inspired products still have inherent problems such as low accumulation in tumors, easy diffusion, and fast elimination. Herein, we aim to develop a biocompatible photothermal agent with tumor enrichment. Enlightened by “parasitized snails”, in situ biosynthesis of photothermal agents and fluorescence imaging-guided PTT are achieved with the assistance of alginate–calcium–genipin (ACG) hydrogel. ACG hydrogel is a mixture of alginate (ALG), calcium (Ca), and genipin (GP). Given that the crosslinking product of GP and protein displays fluorescent/photothermal features, the constructed ACG hydrogel can gradually react with the tumor and then “light up” and “ignite” the tumor under specific light excitation. The ACG hydrogel can be seen as a photothermal parasite, eventually leading to the death of tumor.

Photo-Stimuli-Responsive CuS Nanomaterials as Cutting-Edge Platform Materials for Antibacterial Applications. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14112343. [PMID: 36365161 PMCID: PMC9693063 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14112343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Photo-stimuli-responsive therapeutic nanomaterials have gained widespread attention as frontline materials for biomedical applications. The photoactivation strategies are classified as single-modality (based on either reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT), hyperthermia-based photothermal therapy (PTT)), or dual-modality (which combines PDT and PTT). Due to its minimal invasiveness, phototherapy has been extensively applied as an efficient therapeutic platform for many diseases, including skin cancers. However, extensive implementation of phototherapy to address the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections remains challenging. This review focuses on copper sulfide (CuS) nanomaterials as efficient and cost-effective PDT and PTT therapeutic nanomaterials with antibacterial activity. The features and merits of CuS nanomaterials as therapeutics are compared to those of other nanomaterials. Control of the dimensions and morphological complexity of CuS nanomaterials through judicious synthesis is then introduced. Both the in vitro antibacterial activity and the in vivo therapeutic effect of CuS nanomaterials and derivative nanocomposites composed of 2D nanomaterials, polymers, metals, metal oxides, and proteins are described in detail. Finally, the perspective of photo-stimuli-responsive CuS nanomaterials for future clinical antibacterial applications is highlighted. This review illustrates that CuS nanomaterials are highly effective, low-toxic, and environmentally friendly antibacterial agents or platform nanomaterials for combatting MDR bacterial infections.

Abstract
The spread of bacterial resistance is a rising serious threat to global public health, and has created an urgent need for the development of a new generation of antibacterial nano-agents to take the place of antibiotics. In this work, a multifunctional nanoplatform based on boron nanosheet (B NS)-coated quaternized chitosan (QCS) and the nitric oxide (NO) donor N,N'-di-sec-butyl-N,N'-dinitroso-1,4-phenylenediamine (BNN6) (B-QCS-BNN6) was prepared via a liquid-phase exfoliation and electrostatic adsorption method. The 2D B NSs could convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat energy as well as assemble positively charged QCS and BNN6 to trap negatively charged bacteria, and the positive charge made it easily captured by bacteria, increasing the opportunities for NO diffusion to the bacterial surface. The B-QCS-BNN6 nanoplatform not only exhibited photothermal therapy (PTT) efficacy but could also control NO release precisely after stimulation with an 808 nm laser for the rapid and effective treatment of typical Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The enhanced PTT/NO antibacterial function achieved >99.9% inactivation of bacteria within 5 min. Furthermore, this synergetic antibacterial strategy could also be conveniently employed for highly efficient disinfection of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infected wound and promotion of the reconstruction of damaged tissues for in vivo MRSA-infected wound therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, therapeutic strategies based on macrophages have been inspiringly developed, but due to the high intricacy and immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment, the widespread use of these strategies still faces significant challenges. Herein, an artificial assembled macrophage concept (AB@LM) was presented to imitate the main antitumor abilities of macrophages of tumor targeting, promoting the antitumor immunity, and direct tumor-killing effects. The artificial assembled macrophage (AB@LM) was prepared through an extrusion method, which is to fuse the macrophage membrane with abemaciclib and black phosphorus quantum dot (BPQD)-loaded liposomes. AB@LM showed good stability and tumor targeting ability with the help of macrophage membrane. Furthermore, AB@LM reversed the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by inhibiting regulatory T cells (Tregs) and stimulating the maturation of antigen-presenting cells to activate the antitumor immune response through triggering an immunogenic cell death effect. More importantly, in the colorectal tumor model in vivo, a strong cooperative therapeutic effect of photo/chemo/immunotherapy was observed with high tumor inhibition rate (95.3 ± 2.05%). In conclusion, AB@LM exhibits excellent antitumor efficacy by intelligently mimicking the abilities of macrophages. A promising therapeutic strategy for tumor treatment based on imitating macrophages was provided in this study.

Abstract
The process of wound healing is often accompanied by bacterial infection, which is a serious threat to human health. The abuse of antibiotics in traditional therapy aggravates the resistance of bacteria and gradually reduces the therapeutic effect. Therefore, it is important to develop effective antibacterial dressings to promote wound healing and prevent infection. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is considered a quick and reliable method of suppressing bacterial infections without developing drug resistance. The unique network structure and high water retention of hydrogel help wound healing. Inspired by the hierarchical assembly of anisotropic structures across multiple length scales of muscles, herein a directional freezing-assisted salting-out method was used to prepare anisotropic MXene@PVA hydrogels. The hydrogel not only had excellent mechanical properties (stress up to 0.5 MPa and strain up to 800%), but could also be used for local hyperthermia of infected sites using an NIR laser (808 nm). Owing to the excellent photothermal properties of MXene, its main antibacterial mechanism is hyperthermia and the hydrogel showed broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (inhibition rates of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were 98.3 and 95.5% respectively). In addition, it could effectively promote the proliferation of NIH-3T3 cells. In mouse wound models, the hydrogel was effective in inhibiting wound infection and promoting skin wound healing (the rate of wound closure was 98%). These results indicated that the MXene@PVA hydrogel, with high toughness and anisotropy properties, has the potential to be an excellent antibacterial wound healing dressing.

Abstract
Cancer has been one of the most common life-threatening diseases for a long time. Traditional cancer therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy (CT), and radiotherapy (RT) have limited effects due to drug resistance, unsatisfactory treatment efficiency, and side effects. In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) have been utilized for cancer treatment owing to their high selectivity, minor resistance, and minimal toxicity. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that selective delivery of drugs to specific subcellular organelles can significantly enhance the efficiency of cancer therapy. Mitochondria-targeting therapeutic strategies are promising for cancer therapy, which is attributed to the essential role of mitochondria in the regulation of cancer cell apoptosis, metabolism, and more vulnerable to hyperthermia and oxidative damage. Herein, the rational design, functionalization, and applications of diverse mitochondria-targeting units, involving organic phosphine/sulfur salts, quaternary ammonium (QA) salts, peptides, transition-metal complexes, guanidinium or bisguanidinium, as well as mitochondria-targeting cancer therapies including PDT, PTT, CDT, and others are summarized. This review aims to furnish researchers with deep insights and hints in the design and applications of novel mitochondria-targeting agents for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Using the tight-binding approach, we investigate the electronic and magneto-optical properties of bilayer phosphorene quantum dots (BLPQDs) in the presence of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. The magneto-energy spectra of the BLPQDs exhibit Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. The period and the amplitude of the oscillation decrease with the size of the BLPQDs. An oscillatory behavior of the local density of states (LDOS) versus the magnetic field is observed, as well as the appearance of the spatial Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in the LDOS. In the absence of the electric field, there exists an s-fold degeneracy (s absolutely flat bands at exactly zero energy) arising from the edge-mode states, where s is the smaller value between M and N, where M and N are the number of phosphorus atoms along the x and y axis, respectively, in a rectangular BLBPQD. The absorption spectra of the BLPQDs are obtained for both in-plane and out-of-plane polarizations. Compared with the absorption spectra of graphene dots, the absorption of an out-of-plane polarization of the incident light is high compared to that of in-plane polarizations. On the other hand, the absorption spectra due to in-plane polarizations are almost the same in the case of graphene, whereas they are considerably different in BLBPQDs. Importantly, the appearance of several sharp and high absorption peaks in the near-infrared (NIR) range dictates the BLBPQDs for application and development of bioimaging, biomedicine and drug delivery technology. More importantly, both the location and intensity of these NIR peaks depend characteristically on the orientation of the polarization of the incident light, which can be desirably tuned by the simultaneous engineering of magnetic and electric fields. Such unique advantage of the anisotropic optical feature enables a new degree of freedom for achieving novel polarization-dependent photonic devices. The dual magnetic and electric field tunable optical and electrical features of the BLPQDs are expected to have important consequences for the development of multifunctional magneto-optoelectronic devices and provide insight into the applicability of quantum photopic technologies based on BLBPQDs.

Abstract
Visualization technology has become a trend in tumor therapy in recent years. The superior optical properties of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) make them suitable candidates for tumor diagnosis, but their tumor targeting and drug-carrying capacities are still not ideal for treatment. Sulfur-doped graphene quantum dots (SGQDs) with stable fluorescence are prepared in a previous study. A reliable strategy by associating layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and etoposide (VP16) is designed for precise visualization therapy. Trifunctional LDH@SGQD-VP16 integrated nanoprobes can simultaneously achieve targeted aggregation, fluorescence visualization, and chemotherapy. LDH@SGQD-VP16 can accumulate in the tumor microenvironment, owing to pH-sensitive properties and long-term photostability in vivo, which can provide a basis for cancer targeting, real-time imaging, and effect tracking. The enhanced therapeutic and attenuated side effects of VP16 are demonstrated, and the apoptosis caused by LDH@SGQD-VP16 is ≈2.7 times higher than that of VP16 alone, in HGC-27 cells. This work provides a theoretical and experimental basis for LDH@SGQD-VP16 as a potential multifunctional agent for visualization therapy of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Wonderful black phosphorus (BP) and some BP analogs (BPAs) have been increasingly studied for their biomedical applications owing to their fascinating properties and biodegradability, but opportunities and challenges have always coexisted in their study. Poor stability upon exposure to the natural environment is the major obstacle hampering their in vivo applications. BP/polymer and BPAs/polymer nanocomposites can not only efficiently prevent their oxidation and aggregation but also exhibit "biological activity" due to synergistic effects. In this review, we briefly describe the synthesis methods and stability strategies of BP/polymer and BPAs/polymer. Then, advances pertaining to their exciting therapeutic applications in various fields are systematically introduced, such as cancer therapy (phototherapy, drug delivery, and synergistic immunotherapy), bone regeneration, and neurogenesis. Some challenges for future clinical trials and possible directions for further study are finally discussed.

Abstract
Phosphorene is a novel two-dimensional nanomaterial with a puckered surface morphology, which has broad potential application prospects in the fields of biology and medicine. Phosphorene nanosheets are easily oxidized and form phosphorene oxide (PO) in an aerobic environment, whose biological effect remains unknown. In this paper, using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the PO nanosheets can penetrate into and destructively extract large amounts of phospholipids from the lipid membrane. The PO nanosheets with a higher oxidation concentration have less extraction of phospholipids, while its oxidation mode has no effect on the extraction of phospholipids. Moreover, inserting PO nanosheets into the lipid membrane can enhance the diffusion of phospholipids on the membrane. These findings can shed light on understanding/designing the membrane-nanomaterial interactions.

Abstract
Phototherapy has the potential to play a greater role in oncology. Phototherapy converts light energy into either chemical energy or thermal energy, which eventually destroys cancer cells after a series of biological reactions. With nanotechnology applications in cancer therapeutics, it has become possible to prepare smart drug carriers with multifunctional properties at the nanoscale level. These nanocarriers may be able to deliver the drug molecules to the target site more efficiently in the form of nanoparticles. Several intrinsic and extrinsic properties of these nanocarriers help target the tumor cells exclusively, and by utilizing these features, drug molecules can be delivered to the tumor cells specifically, which results in high tumor uptake and better therapeutic effects ultimately. Nanocarriers can also be designed to carry different drugs together to provide a platform for combination therapy like chemo-photodynamic therapy and chemo-photodynamic-photothermal therapy. In combination therapy, co-delivery of all different drugs is crucial to obtain their synergistic effects, and with the help of nanocarriers, it is possible to co-deliver these drugs by loading them together onto the nanocarriers.

Abstract
Effective cancer treatment puts high demands for cancer theranostics. For cancer diagnostics, optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology (including photothermal optical coherence tomography (PT-OCT)) has been widely investigated since it induces changes in optical phase transitions in tissue through environmental changes (such as temperature change for PT-OCT). In this report, redox responsive nanoparticle encapsulating black phosphorus quantum dots was developed as a robust PT-OCT agent. Briefly, black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) are incorporated into cysteine-based poly-(disulfide amide) (Cys-PDSA) to form stable and biodegradable nanoagent. The excellent photothermal feature allows BPQD/Cys-PDSA nanoparticles (NPs) as a novel contrast agent for high-resolution PT-OCT bioimaging. The Cys-PDSA can rapidly respond to glutathione and effectively release BPQDs and drugs in vitro and in vivo. And the obtained NPs exhibit excellent near-infrared (NIR) photothermal transduction efficiency and drug delivery capacity that can serve as novel therapeutic platform, with very low chemo drug dosage and side effects. Both of the polymer and BPQD are degradable, indicating this platform is a rare PT-OCT agent that is completely biodegradable. Overall, our research highlights a biodegradable and biocompatible black phosphorus-based nanoagent for both cancer diagnosis and therapy. Black phosphorus based nanoplatform, the first PT-OCT nanoplatform could be completely degraded in vitro and in vivo. Black phosphorus quantum dots and chemo drugs have been successfully encapsulated into redox responsive nanoparticles. Very low dose of PTX (such as 1 mg/kg, 1/10 of normal dose) could achieve excellent therapeutic performance for this platform.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon layers (GCLs), exemplified by graphene, have been proposed for potential application in high-performance functional devices due to superior electrical properties, e.g., high electron mobility. In state-of-the-art electronics, it is required that GCLs are miniaturized to nanometer scales and incorporated into the integrated circuits to exhibit novel functions at nanometer scales. However, the implementation of nanometer-scale GCLs is suspended; the function in devices is deteriorated by increasing contact resistance in miniaturized GCL/electrode interfaces. In this study, nanometer-sized GCL/gold (Au) interfaces were fabricated via atomistic visualization of nanomanipulation, and simultaneously their contact resistance was measured. We showed that the contact resistivity of the interfaces was decreased to the order of 10-10Ω cm2, which was 104 times smaller than that of micrometer-sized or larger GCL/metal interfaces. In addition, it was revealed that peculiar electrical conduction at the nanometer-sized GCL/Au interfaces emerged; current flows throughout the entire area of the interfaces unlike micrometer-sized or larger GCL/metal interfaces. These results directly contribute to actual application of GCLs in advanced nanodevices.

Abstract
As the combination of therapies enhances the performance of biocompatible materials in cancer treatment, theranostic therapies are attracting increasing attention rather than individual approaches. In this review, we describe a variety of two-dimensional (2D) theranostic nanomaterials and their efficacy in ablating tumors. Though many literature reports are available to demonstrate the potential application of 2D nanomaterials, we have reviewed here cancer-treating therapies based on such multifunctional nanomaterials abstracting the content from literature works which explain both the in vitro and in vivo level of applications. In addition, we have included a discussion about the future direction of 2D nanomaterials in the field of theranostic cancer treatment.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP) as a layered two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor material with a tunable band gap has attracted growing attention for promising applications in diverse fields including biotechnology owing to its excellent physical and chemical properties. In this study, BP crystals were synthesized using a chemical vapor transport method and exfoliated into BP nanosheets in deoxygenated water or hexane. Next, monodisperse Au nanoparticles that were synthesized using a surfactant-assisted chemical reduction method were assembled on exfoliated BP nanosheets hexane to yield BP/Au nanocomposites. The photothermal antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of BP nanosheets and BP/Au nanocomposites were investigated against Enterococcus faecalis, a pathogenic biofilm-forming bacterium, by studying the photothermal effect and bacterial growth curve and using colony counting and live/dead fluorescence staining methods under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. Thanks to the higher photothermal conversion efficiency of BP/Au nanocomposites than that of bare BP nanosheets under NIR light irradiation, they destructed the bacterial cell membrane more efficiently than bare BP with the biofilm inhibition rate of 58%. It should be noted that this is the first study on the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of BP/Au nanocomposites via a photothermal process under NIR light irradiation. This work shows the potential of BP/Au nanocomposites in fighting against pathogenic bacteria and paves the way for the exploration of antibacterial platforms based on the biocompatible 2D semiconductor BP.

Abstract
Compared with the traditional treatment, photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of malignant tumors has the advantages of less damage to normal tissues, quick therapeutic effect, and ability to repeat treatments to the same site. However, most of the traditional photosensitizers (PSs) have severe skin photosensitization, poor tumor targeting, and low therapeutic effect in hypoxic tumor environment, which limit the application of PDT. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems can improve the targeting of PSs and release drugs with controllable photoactivity at predetermined locations, so as to achieve desired therapeutic effects with minimal side-effects. The present review summarizes the current nanoparticle platforms for PDT, and offers the description of different strategies including tumor-targeted delivery, controlled-release of PSs and the triggered photoactivity to achieve controllable PDT by nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. The challenges and prospects for further development of intelligent PSs for PDT are also discussed.

Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterial (INM)-based combination cancer therapies have been extensively employed over the past two decades because of their benefits over traditional chemo- and radiotherapies. However, issues regarding the toxicity and accumulation of INMs in the body have arisen. This problem may be improved through the use of biodegradable or disintegrable nanosystems such as black phosphorus (BP). Challenges to the manufacture of fully nanodimensional BP remain. In addition, improvements in recently developed cancer immunotherapies require their incorporation with drugs, targeting agents, and delivery vehicles. With these needs in mind, this study develops a method for instant in-flight manufacture of nanodimensional BP using plug-and-play devices for subsequent assembly of photoimmunotherapeutic core@shell composites containing mutated B-raf inhibitors (dabrafenib), immune checkpoint inhibitors (PD-L1), and cancer-targeting antibodies (CXCR4). The resulting nanocomposites exhibited cancer targetability and regulatability of PD-L1 expression both in vitro and in vivo. These activities were further increased upon near-infrared irradiation due to the incorporation of a phototherapeutic component. These results suggest that these nanocomposites are promising as a new class of advanced cancer therapeutic agents.

Abstract
The inhibition of amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation by photo-oxygenation has become an effective way of treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). New near-infrared (NIR) activated treatment agents, which not only possess high photo-oxygenation efficiency, but also show low biotoxicity, are urgently needed. Herein, for the first time, it is demonstrated that NIR activated black phosphorus (BP) could serve as an effective nontoxic photo-oxidant for amyloid-β peptide in vitro and in vivo. The nanoplatform BP@BTA (BTA: one of thioflavin-T derivatives) possesses high affinity to the Aβ peptide due to specific amyloid selectivity of BTA. Importantly, under NIR light, BP@BTA can significantly generate a high quantum yield of singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) to oxygenate Aβ, thereby resulting in inhibiting the aggregation and attenuating Aβ-induced cytotoxicity. In addition, BP could finally degrade into nontoxic phosphate, which guarantees the biosafety. Using transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans CL2006 as AD model, the results demonstrate that the 1 O2 -generation system could dramatically promote life-span extension of CL2006 strain by decreasing the neurotoxicity of Aβ.

Two-dimensional quantum dots (2DQDs), as promising photothermal agents (PTAs) in photothermal therapy (PTT) to malignant tumors, have been widely studied experimentally, whereas the superior photoabsorption and photothermal conversion mechanisms remain unclear. In this work, we present the first excited-state dynamics study on the PTT of 2D antimonene (AM) QDs by employing time-dependent density functional theory and ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics calculations. Surprisingly, pristine AMQDs themselves are not good PTAs due to weak photoabsorption and low photothermal conversion performance. The superior PTT capacity of AMQDs actually derives from the spontaneously partial oxidation. The partial oxidation introduces additional band edge states, which not only broaden the optical absorption range but also strengthen the transition dipole moment. More importantly, the oxidation doubles the nonradiative transition rate arising from the increased nonradiative coupling, which greatly promotes the release of photogenerated electron energy and accelerates the photothermal conversion efficiency. The in-depth insight unveiled here should be of fundamental importance and benefit for efficient utilization of 2DQDs in biomedical field.

Abstract
A mitochondria-targeting nanosystem, BP@PDA–Ce6&TPP NSs, has been constructed, and exhibit excellent performance in imaging-guided synergistic photothermal and photodynamic cancer therapy.
Organelle-targeting nanosystems are envisioned as promising tools for phototherapy, which can generate heat or reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced cytotoxicity in the targeted location but leave the surrounding biological tissues undamaged. In this work, an imaging-guided mitochondria-targeting photothermal/photodynamic nanosystem has been developed on the basis of functionalized black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets (NSs). In the nanosystem, BP NSs are coated with polydopamine (PDA) and then covalently linked with both chlorin e6 (Ce6) and triphenyl phosphonium (TPP) through carbodiimide reaction between the amino group and the carboxyl group, forming BP@PDA–Ce6&TPP NSs. Due to the strong absorbance of BP@PDA in the near-infrared region and the highly efficient ROS generation of Ce6, the as-prepared nanosystem with mitochondria-targeting capacity (TPP moiety) shows remarkably enhanced efficiency in cancer cell killing. Combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy is implemented and monitored by in vivo fluorescence imaging, achieving excellent performance in inhibiting tumor growth. This study presents a novel nanotheranostic agent for mitochondria-targeting phototherapy, which may open new horizons for biomedicine.

Abstract
Reducing the dosage of chemotherapeutic drugs via enhancing the delivery efficiency using novel nanoparticles has great potential for cancer treatment. Here, we focused on improving mitoxantrone delivery by using cholesterol-substituted pullulan polymers (CHPs) and selected a suitable nano-drug size to inhibit the growth of bladder cancer cells. We synthesized three kinds of CHPs, named CHP-1, CHP-2, CHP-3. Their chemical structures were identified by NMR, and the degree of cholesterol substitution was 6.82%, 5.78%, and 2.74%, respectively. Their diameters were 86.4, 162.30, and 222.28 nm. We tested the release rate of mitoxantrone in phosphate-buffered saline for 48 h: the release rate was 38.73%, 42.35%, and 58.89% for the three CHPs. The hydrophobic substitution degree in the polymer was associated with the self-assembly process of the nanoparticles, which affected their size and therefore drug release rate. The release of the three drug-loaded nanoparticles was significantly accelerated in acid release media. The larger the nanoparticle, the greater the drug release velocity. At 24 h, the IC50 value was 0.25 M, for the best inhibition of mitoxantrone on bladder cancer cells.3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) experiments demonstrated that drug-loaded CHP-3 nanoparticles with the largest size were the most toxic to bladder cancer cells. Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry revealed that drug-loaded CHP-3 nanoparticles with the largest size had the strongest effect on promoting apoptosis of bladder cancer cells. Also, the three drug-loaded nanoparticles could all inhibit the migration of MB49 cells, with large-size CHP-3 nanoparticles having the most powerful inhibition.

Abstract
Because of their extraordinary physical properties and biocompatibility, black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets (NSs) have been intensively employed in chemo-phototherapies, such as plasmonic inorganic nanoparticles or graphene NSs, over the past few years. However, most biomedical studies using BP NSs are only concerned with the optical property of BP NSs to repeatedly demonstrate chemo-phototherapeutic efficacies, although BP NSs have different properties from inorganic nanoparticles or graphene NSs, such as corrugated crystal structure, hydrophilicity, and biodegradability. Moreover, it is still a challenging issue to efficiently fabricate uniform BP NSs for clinical translation because of the top-down nature of fabrication, despite the easy preparation of coarse BP flakes. It is thus essential to explore their most suitable bioapplications as well as suggest an easy-to-access strategy to produce uniform BP NSs for realization as advanced therapeutic materials. To rationalize these issues, this report introduces a plug-and-play nanorization, ultrasonic bubble bursting, of coarse BP flakes for continuous BP NS production, and the resulting uniform NSs (∼40 nm lateral dimension, ∼0.15 polydispersity index) were used as base materials to load drug (doxorubicin), targeting agent (chitosan-polyethylene glycol), and cancer growth inhibitor (programmed death ligand 1 and small interfering RNA) for achieving efficacious chemo-photoimmunotherapy of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
In the fight against pathogenic bacteria, traditional antibiotic therapy is challenged by low efficiency and drug resistance. These drawbacks motivate the development of synergistic antibacterial therapy, but there is a lack of efficient synergistic platforms. Herein, with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as a pathogenic bacterial model, we explored the potential of black phosphorus (BP) as a synergistic therapeutic platform for drug resistant bacterial infection. Acting as a substrate, reductant and stabilizer, BP nanosheets were decorated with Ag nanoparticles (NP) through an in situ growth strategy. The photothermal effect of the BP nanosheets allows Ag@BP nanohybrids to rapidly disrupt a bacterial membrane under near infrared (NIR) light irradiation. Moreover, the slowly released Ag+ elevates oxidative stress and sustainably suppresses bacterial proliferation for a long time. The combination of these two aspects endows the Ag@BP nanohybrids with synergistically enhanced antibacterial performance. Different from traditional antibiotics, the antibacterial effects of the Ag@BP nanohybrids are independent of the bacterial structure, which bypasses the issue of drug resistance. The in vivo studies show that the Ag@BP nanohybrids efficiently decrease the MRSA bacterial burden in mice and minimize infection associated tissue lesions. Besides, the excellent biocompatibility of the Ag@BP nanohybrids guarantees their biosafety for future clinical applications. Accordingly, this work demonstrates the potential of the BP nanosheets in the synergistic antibacterial therapy against drug resistant bacteria, and paves the way for developing 2D semiconductor based synergistic antibacterial nanodrugs.
