Abstract
Modern nanodrug delivery technologies offer new approaches in the fight against cancer. However, due to the heterogeneity of tumors and side effects of anticancer drugs, monotherapies are less effective. Herein, we report a novel pH and light dual-responsive nanodrug delivery platform. The platform was formed by sulfonate-modified gold nanoparticles loaded with the anticancer drugs doxorubicin (DOX) and glucose oxidase (GOx) and then covered by water-soluble pillar[5]arene as a nanovalve. The nanovalve formed by the host-guest interaction between pillar[5]arene and the sulfonic acid group grafted onto the gold nanoparticle increased the drug loading capacity of the nanoplatform and enabled sustained release of the drug in a simulated weakly acidic tumor environment. The released GOx can consume intracellular glucose, namely, starvation therapy, while the generated hydrogen peroxide can further kill tumor cells, complementing DOX chemotherapy. Gold nanoparticles have good photothermal conversion ability and can enhance the drugs release rate under specific wavelengths of light irradiation. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that this novel nanodrug delivery platform has good biocompatibility and better therapeutic efficacy relative to monotherapy. This study successfully developed a combined chemo/starvation therapy strategy with good tumor suppression, providing a new approach for cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enzyme therapy based on differential metabolism of cancer cells has demonstrated promising potential as a treatment strategy. Nevertheless, the therapeutic benefit of reported enzyme drugs is compromised by their uncontrollable activity and weak stability. Additionally, thermozymes with high thermal-stability suffer from low catalytic activity at body temperature, preventing them from functioning independently. RESULTS Herein, we have developed a novel thermo-enzymatic regulation strategy for near-infrared (NIR)-triggered precise-catalyzed photothermal treatment of breast cancer. Our strategy enables efficient loading and delivery of thermozymes (newly screened therapeutic enzymes from thermophilic bacteria) via hyaluronic acid (HA)-coupled gold nanorods (GNRs). These nanocatalysts exhibit enhanced cellular endocytosis and rapid enzyme activity enhancement, while also providing biosafety with minimized toxic effects on untargeted sites due to temperature-isolated thermozyme activity. Locally-focused NIR lasers ensure effective activation of thermozymes to promote on-demand amino acid deprivation and photothermal therapy (PTT) of superficial tumors, triggering apoptosis, G1 phase cell cycle arrest, inhibiting migration and invasion, and potentiating photothermal sensitivity of malignancies. CONCLUSIONS This work establishes a precise, remotely controlled, non-invasive, efficient, and biosafe nanoplatform for accurate enzyme therapy, providing a rationale for promising personalized therapeutic strategies and offering new prospects for high-precision development of enzyme drugs.

Abstract
Cancer has always posed a significant threat to human health, prompting extensive research into new treatment strategies due to the limitations of traditional therapies. Starvation therapy (ST) has garnered considerable attention by targeting the primary energy source, glucose, utilized by cancer cells for proliferation. Glucose oxidase (GOx), a catalyst facilitating glucose consumption, has emerged as a critical therapeutic agent for ST. However, mono ST alone struggles to completely suppress tumor growth, necessitating the development of synergistic therapy approaches. Metal catalysts possess enzyme-like functions and can serve as carriers, capable of combining with GOx to achieve diverse tumor treatments. However, ensuring enzyme activity preservation in normal tissue and activation specifically within tumors presents a crucial challenge. Nanodelivery systems offer the potential to enhance therapy effectiveness by improving the stability of therapeutic agents and enabling controlled release. This review primarily focuses on recent advances in the mechanism of GOx combined with metal catalysts for synergistic tumor therapy. Furthermore, it discusses various nanoparticles (NPs) constructs designed for synergistic therapy in different carrier categories. Finally, this review provides a summary of GOx-metal catalyst-based NPs (G-M) and offers insights into the challenges associated with G-M therapy, delivery design, and oxygen (O2) supply.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based cancer therapy faces significant limitations due to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Starvation therapy is an emerging therapeutic approach that targets tumor cell metabolism using glucose oxidase (GOx). Importantly, it can provide a material or environmental foundation for other diverse therapeutic methods by manipulating the properties of the TME, such as acidity, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels, and hypoxia degree. In recent years, this cascade strategy has been extensively applied in nanoplatforms for ongoing synergetic therapy and still holds undeniable potential. However, only a few review articles comprehensively elucidate the rational designs of nanoplatforms for synergetic therapeutic regimens revolving around the conception of the cascade strategy. Therefore, this review focuses on innovative cascade strategies for GOx-based synergetic therapy from representative paradigms to state-of-the-art reports to provide an instructive, comprehensive, and insightful reference for readers. Thereafter, we discuss the remaining challenges and offer a critical perspective on the further advancement of GOx-facilitated cancer treatment toward clinical translation.

Abstract
The ordered and directed functionalization of targeting elements on the surface of nanomaterials for precise tumor therapy remains a challenge. To address the above problem, herein, we adopted a materials-based synthetic biotechnology strategy to fabricate a bioengineered fusion protein of materials-binding peptides and targeting elements, which can serve as a "molecular glue" to achieve a directional and organized assembly of targeting biological macromolecules on the surface of nanocarriers. The hypoxia microenvironment of solid tumors inspired the rapid development of starvation/chemosynergistic therapy; however, the unsatisfied spatiotemporal specific performance hindered its further development in precise tumor therapy. As a proof of concept, a bioengineered fusion protein containing a dendritic mesoporous silicon (DMSN)-binding peptide, and a tumor-targeted and acidity-decomposable ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1), was constructed by fusion expression and further assembled on the surface of DMSN companying with the insertion of hypoxia-activated prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) and glucose oxidase (GOX) to establish a nanoreactor for precise starvation/chemosynergistic tumor therapy. In this context, the as-prepared therapeutic nanoreactors revealed obvious tumor-specific accumulation and an endocytosis effect. Next, the acidic tumor microenvironment triggered the structural collapse of FTH1 and the subsequent release of GOX and TPZ, in which GOX-mediated catalysis cut off the nutrition supply to realize starvation therapy based on the consumption of endogenous glucose and further provided an exacerbated hypoxia environment for TPZ in situ activation to initiate tumor chemotherapy. More significantly, the presence of "molecular glue" elevated the tumor-targeting capacity of nanoreactors and further enhanced the starvation/chemosynergistic therapeutic effect remarkably, suggesting that such a strategy provided a solution for the functionality of nanomaterials and facilitated the design of novel targeting nanomedicines. Overall, this study highlights materials-binding peptides as a new type of "molecular glue" and opens new avenues for designing and exploring active biological materials for biological functions and applications.

Abstract
To overcome the limitations of doxorubicin (DOX) chemotherapy, nanomedicines that integrate additional photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) strategies are highlighted as promising alternatives for the treatment of malignant tumors. However, time-consuming preparation processes, biosafety concerns, and the bottlenecks of individual therapeutic modalities often limit the practical applications of this strategy. To address these issues, this work designs an oxygen economizer that additionally serves as a Fenton reaction amplifier through the simple assembly of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), pluronic F-127 (PF127), iron (III) ions, and doxorubicin (DOX) for the enhancement of synergistic PTT/CDT/chemotherapy. The resulting nanoformulation, EFPD, can target mitochondria and inhibit cell respiration to reduce O2 consumption, thus boosting DOX-mediated H2 O2 generation for enhanced CDT and simultaneously improving hypoxia-limited DOX chemotherapy efficacy. Moreover, the coordination between EGCG and Fe3+ provides EFPD with excellent photothermal conversion efficiencies (η = 34.7%) for PTT and photothermal-accelerated drug release. Experimental results indicate that EFPD-mediated synergistic enhancement of PTT/CDT/chemotherapy can achieve excellent therapeutic outcomes, including enhanced ablation of solid tumors, reduced metastasis and cardiotoxicity, and extended life spans.

Abstract
As the main systemic treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the bleak medical prognosis of chemotherapy resulted in impaired life quality by tumor recurrence and metastasis. The feasible cancer starvation therapy could inhibit tumor progression by blocking energy supplements, however, the mono-therapeutic modality showed limited curing efficacy due to heterogeneity and abnormal energy metabolism of TNBC. Thus, the development of a synergistic nano-therapeutic modality involving different anti-tumor mechanisms to simultaneously transport medicines to the organelle where metabolism took place, might remarkably improve curing efficacy, targeting ability, and bio-safety. Herein, the hybrid BLG@TPGS NPs were prepared by doping multi-path energy inhibitors Berberine (BBR) and Lonidamine (LND) as well as the chemotherapeutic agent Gambogic acid (GA). Our research indicated that Nanobomb\mathord{-} BLG@TPGS NPs inherited the mitochondria targeting ability from BBR to accumulate precisely at the "energy factory" mitochondria, and then induce starvation therapy to efficiently eradicated cancer cells by coordinately powered off tumor cells via a "three-prone strategy" to cut off mitochondrial respiration, glycolysis, and glutamine metabolism. The inhibition of tumor proliferation and migration was enlarged by the synergistic combination with chemotherapy. Besides, apoptosis via mitochondria pathway and mitochondria fragmentation supported the hypothesis that NPs eliminated MDA-MB-231 cells by violently attacking MDA-MB-231 cells and especially the mitochondria. In summary, this synergistic chemo-co-starvation nanomedicine proposed an innovative site-specific targeting strategy for improved tumor treatment and decreased toxicity to normal tissues, which provided an option for clinical TNBC-sensitive treatment.

Abstract
Given the similarity with photocatalysis, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can be defined as ultrasonic (US) catalysis. Encouraged by the principles of photocatalysis and defect chemistry, defect-rich nickel (Ni)-doped cobaltous oxide (Ni-CoO@PEG) porous hexagonal nanosheets have been synthesized as a sonosensitizer. The doping of Ni decreases the band gap that is testified by density functional theory to increase the US-generated charges. Under US irradiation, Ni-CoO@PEG nanosheets produce 1O2 as an active species that is determined by dissolved O2 and electrons. Moreover, the doping also brings abundant oxygen vacancies (OV) that not only are in favor of efficient separation of electron-hole but also enhance the interaction toward O2, boosting 1O2 generation. In addition, Ni-CoO@PEG shows robust mimic catalase (CAT) and peroxidase characterization to effectively improve the intratumor O2 content and oxidation stress. What is more, the nanosheets also possess glucose oxidase activity that can consume glucose to elevate the H2O2/acid level and to block the intracellular energy supply. The tandem nanozyme behaviors would further regulate the tumor microenvironment for assisting anticancer treatment. It is noted that Ni-CoO@PEG reveals a novel half-metallic feature endowing great magnetism and magnetic resonance imaging capacity. The above synergistic treatments exhibit outstanding anticancer performance that also evokes antitumor immunity to suppress metastasis and recurrence, efficiently.

Abstract
Owing to its non-invasive feature and excellent therapeutic effect, photodynamic therapy has received considerable interest in cancer therapy. However, the therapeutic efficacy of photodynamic therapy is limited by some intrinsic drawbacks of photosensitizers such as aggregation-caused quenching and non-specificity towards cellular organelles. Moreover, the overexpressed glutathione in tumour cells which exhibits a potent scavenging effect on reactive oxygen species generated during the photodynamic therapy process also reduces the efficacy of photodynamic therapy. Therefore, the synthesis of aggregation-induced emission based photosensitizers with cellular organelle targeting and glutathione-depletion capability is highly desirable in photodynamic therapy. Here, two new aggregation-induced emission based photosensitizers namely tetraphenylethylene-1-phenyvinyl-pyridine-phenylboronic acid (TPEPy-BA) and tetraphenylethylene-1-phenyvinyl-pyridine-phenylboronic acid pinacol ester (TPEPy-BE) were synthesized which easily aggregated under aqueous conditions and showed bright emission in the near infra-red region. Furthermore, these photosensitizers were encapsulated into an amphiphilic block copolymer (DSPE-PEG) to improve the aqueous stability and cellular internalization of photosensitizers. The developed photosensitizer nanoparticles showed high reactive oxygen species generation efficacy, mitochondria-targeting and glutathione-depletion capability. The results showed that tetraphenylethylene-1-phenyvinyl-pyridine-phenylboronic acid pinacol ester nanoparticles exhibited a highly efficient photodynamic ablation of MCF-7 cells compared to tetraphenylethylene-1-phenyvinyl-pyridine-phenylboronic acid nanoparticles, upon white light irradiation, due to its high intracellular reactive oxygen species generation efficiency and mitochondria-dysfunction ability. Moreover, tetraphenylethylene-1-phenyvinyl-pyridine-phenylboronic acid pinacol ester nanoparticles produced a glutathione-depleting adjuvant, quinone methide, which greatly reduced the glutathione level in cancer cells, thus enhancing the efficacy of photodynamic therapy. This study provides a new strategy for the synthesis of aggregation-induced emission based photosensitizers with combined mitochondria-targeting and glutathione-depletion capability for efficacious photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Multimodal synergistic therapy based on nanomedicine drug delivery systems can achieve accurate cancer treatment. The anisotropy of gold nanorods (AuNRs) allows the adjustment of the longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance absorption to the near-infrared band, which shows potential application in the field of photothermal therapy of cancer. Here, we report a new type of thermal-sensitive gold nanorod drug-loaded vesicles (UGRV-DOX) via the self-assembly of AuNRs modified with the amphiphilic polymer (PEG45-b-PS150) and upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymer (P(AAm-co-AN)). The hollow structure of the vesicle can increase the drug loading capacity, and the polymers on its surface are intertwined to reduce drug leakage. As-prepared UGRV-DOX vesicles exhibits excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and can achieve light-controlled drug release. In vivo anti-tumor experiments showed that UGRV-DOX could ablate HepG2 transplanted tumors significantly under 808 nm laser irradiation, and the inhibition rate was as high as 99.3 %. These tumor-specific nanovesicles prefigure great potentials for high-precision cancer treatment.

Abstract
Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) is promising carrier material for drugs delivery in cancer therapy. However, the slow degradation and lack of targeting have greatly limited the clinical effectiveness of PLGA-based nanomedicines. Herein, we fabricated a hybrid nanosystem (3 P @ He/Pt-NPs) comprising of acid-sensitive polymer (mPOE-PLGA), active-targeting polymer (PBA-PLGA) and therapeutic agents (hemin+cisplatin) to combat these problems. In neutral environment, PEGylation can effectively improve the blood stability and circulation time of hybrid nanosystem. After reaching tumor regions, this nanosystem efficiently increased cellular uptake by dePEGylation and PBA-mediated active-targeting. Furthermore, encapsulated hemin could catalyze the oxygen bubbles generation, which remarkably increasing the drugs release rate. Subsequently, hybrid particles produced a higher cell-killing effect to lung cancer cells (A549) by the combination therapy (chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT)). Importantly, cisplatin further amplified CDT effect by inducing H2O2 regeneration owing to the cascade enzymatic reactions, while hemin decreased intracellular glutathione (GSH) level, resulting in a low detoxification effect to cisplatin. Thus, hybrid particles could efficiently inhibit drug-resistant tumor growth and the inhibition rate reached 83.2%. Overall, this hybrid polymer nanosystem improve the drawbacks of PLGA-based nanocarriers, and can realize a cascading enhanced tumor treatment.

Abstract
Controllable release of chemotherapeutic drugs in tumor sites remains a big challenge for precision therapy. Herein, we developed acidity/carbon dioxide (H+/CO2)-sensitive poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (2-(diisopropylamino) ethyl methacrylate)-b-polystyrene triblock polymer (PEG-b-PDPA-b-PS) grafted photoactivated vesicles for programmed release of chemotherapeutic drugs against glioblastoma. In brief, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were firstly tethered with the H+/CO2-sensitive PEG-b-PDPA-b-PS polymer. Next, the CO2 precursor (ammonium bicarbonate, NH4HCO3) and doxorubicin (DOX) were loaded during self-assembly process of PEG-b-PDPA-b-PS-tethered GNPs, thus obtaining the multifunctional gold vesicles (denoted as GVND). The programmed multi-stimuli responsive drug release by GVND was undergone in multiple steps as follows: 1) the vesicular architecture of GVND was first swelled in tumor acidic microenvironment, 2) the GVND were partially broken under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, 3) the mild hyperthermia generated by GV triggered the thermal decomposition of encapsulated NH4HCO3, leading to the in situ generation of CO2, 4) the generated CO2 reacted with PDPA of PEG-b-PDPA-b-PS, changing the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of GVND, thus vastly breaking its vesicular architecture, finally resulting in a "bomb-like" release of DOX in tumor tissues. Such a multi-stimuli responsive programmed drug delivery and mild hyperthermia under NIR laser activation displayed strong antitumor efficacy and completely eradicated U87MG glioblastoma tumor. This work presented a promising strategy to realize precision drug delivery for chemotherapy against glioblastoma. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE.

Metal-organic framework for biomimetic nitric oxide generation and anticancer drug delivery. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 145:213268.

Abstract
The potential therapeutic implications of nitric oxide (NO) have drawn a great deal of interest for reversing multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer; however, previous strategies utilized unstable or toxic NO donors often oxidized by the excessive addition of reactive oxygen species, leading to unexpected side effects. Therefore, this study proposed a metal-organic framework (MOF), Porous coordination network (PCN)-223-Fe, to be loaded with a biocompatible NO donor, L-arginine (L-arg; i.e., PCN-223-Fe/L-arg). This specific MOF possesses a ligand of Fe-porphyrin, a biomimetic catalyst. Thus, with PCN-223-Fe/L-arg, L-arg was released in a sustained manner, which generated NO by a catalytic reaction between L-arg and Fe-porphyrin in PCN-223-Fe. Through this biomimetic process, PCN-223-Fe/L-arg could generate sufficient NO to reverse MDR at the expense of hydrogen peroxide already present and highly expressed in cancer environments. For treatment of MDR cancer, this study also proposed PCN-223-Fe loaded with an anticancer drug, irinotecan (CPT-11; i.e., PCN-223-Fe/CPT-11), to be formulated together with PCN-223-Fe/L-arg. Owing to the synergistic effect of reversed MDR by NO generation and sustained release of CPT-11, this combined formulation exhibited a higher anticancer effect on MDR cancer cells (MCF-7/ADR). When intratumorally injected in vivo, coadministration of PCN-223-Fe/L-arg and PCN-223-Fe/CPT-11 greatly suppressed tumor growth in nude mice bearing MDR tumors.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has always been a topic of great interests attributed to its vital role in biological process. H2O2 is known as a major reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is involve in numerous physiological processes such as cell proliferation, signal transduction, differentiation, and even pathogenesis. A plenty of diseases development such as chronic disease, inflammatory disease, and organ dysfunction are found to be relevant to abnormality of H2O2 production. Thus, imminent and feasible strategies to modulate and detect H2O2 level in vitro and in vivo have gained great importance. To date, the boronate-based chemical structure probes have been widely used to address the problems from the above aspects because of the rearranged chemical bonding which can detect and quantify ROS including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-). This present article discusses boronate-based probes based on the chemical structure difference as well as reactivities to H2O2 and ONOO-. In this review, we also focus on the application of boronate-based probes in the field of cell imaging, prodrugs nanoplatform, nanomedicines, and electrochemical biosensors for disease diagnosis and treatment. In a nutshell, we outline the recent application of boronate-based probes and represent the prospective potentiality in biomedical domain in the future.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has shown a revolution in cancer treatments, including breast cancers. However, there remain some challenges and translational hurdles. Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are the primary treatment methods for breast cancer, although drug combinations showed promising results in preclinical studies. Herein we report the development of a smart drug delivery system (DDS) to efficiently treat breast cancer by pyroptosis-starvation-chemotherapeutic combination. Cancer-starvation agent glucose oxidase was chemically attached to synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles which were entrapped inside poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) along with apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain plasmid and paclitaxel (PTX). An emulsion solvent evaporation method was used to prepare the DDS. The surface of the DDS was modified with chitosan to which aptamer was attached to achieve site-specific targeting. Hence, the prepared DDS could be targeted to a tumor site by both external magnet and aptamer to obtain an enhanced accumulation of drugs at the tumor site. The final size of the aptamer-decorated DDS was less than 200 nm, and the encapsulation efficiency of PTX was 76.5 ± 2.5%. Drug release from the developed DDS was much higher at pH 5.5 than at pH 7.4, ensuring the pH sensitivity of the DDS. Due to efficient dual targeting of the DDS, in vitro viability of 4T1 cells was reduced to 12.1 ± 1.6%, whereas the nontargeted group and free PTX group could reduce the viability of cells to 29.2 ± 2.4 and 46.2 ± 1.6%, respectively. Our DDS showed a synergistic effect in vitro and no severe side effects in vivo. This DDS has strong potential to treat various cancers.

Abstract
Tumor embolization therapy has attracted great attention due to its high efficiency in inhibiting tumor growth by cutting off tumor nutrition and oxygen supply by the embolic agent. Although transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is the mainstream technique in the clinic, there are still some limitations to be considered, especially the existence of high risks and complications. Recently, nanomaterials have drawn wide attention in disease diagnosis, drug delivery, and new types of therapies, such as photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy, owing to their unique optical, thermal, convertible and in vivo transport properties. Furthermore, the utilization of nanoplatforms in tumor non-interventional embolization therapy has attracted the attention of researchers. Herein, the recent advances in this area are summarized in this review, which revealed three different types of nanoparticle strategies: (1) nanoparticles with active targeting effects or stimuli responsiveness (ultrasound and photothermal) for the safe delivery and responsive release of thrombin; (2) tumor microenvironment (copper and phosphate, acidity and GSH/H2O2)-responsive nanoparticles for embolization therapy with high specificity; and (3) peptide-based nanoparticles with mimic functions and excellent biocompatibility for tumor embolization therapy. The benefits and limitations of each kind of nanoparticle in tumor non-interventional embolization therapy will be highlighted. Investigations of nanoplatforms are undoubtedly of great significance, and some advanced nanoplatform systems have arrived at a new height and show potential applications in practical applications.

Abstract
Ordinarily, cancer cells possess features of abnormally increased nutrient intake and metabolic pathways. The disorder of glucose metabolism is the most important among them. Therefore, starvation therapy targeting glucose metabolism specifically, which results in metabolic disorders, restricted synthesis, and inhibition of tumor growth, has been developed for cancer therapy. However, issues such as inadequate targeting effectiveness and drug tolerance impede their clinical transformation. In recent years, nanomaterial-assisted starvation treatment has made significant progress in addressing these challenges, whether as a monotherapy or in combination with other medications. Herein, representative researches on the construction of nanosystems conducting starvation therapy are introduced. Elaborate designs and interactions between different treatment mechanisms are meticulously mentioned. Not only are traditional treatments based on glucose oxidase involved, but also newly sprung small molecule agents targeting glucose metabolism. The obstacles and potential for advancing these anticancer therapies were also highlighted in this review.

Abstract
ConspectusCurrent interest in nanoparticle ensembles is motivated by their collective synergetic properties that are distinct from or better than those of individual nanoparticles and their bulk counterparts. These new advanced optical, electronic, magnetic, and catalytic properties can find applications in advanced nanomaterials and functional devices, if control is achieved over nanoparticle organization. Self-assembly offers a cost-efficient approach to produce ensembles of nanoparticles with well-defined and predictable structures. Nanoparticles functionalized with polymer molecules are promising building blocks for self-assembled nanostructures, due to the comparable dimensions of macromolecules and nanoparticles, the ability to synthesize polymers with various compositions, degrees of polymerization, and structures, and the ability of polymers to self-assemble in their own right. Moreover, polymer ligands can endow additional functionalities to nanoparticle assemblies, thus broadening the range of their applications.In this Account, we describe recent progress of our research groups in the development of new strategies for the self-assembly of nanoparticles tethered to macromolecules. At the beginning of our journey, we developed a new approach to patchy nanoparticles and their self-assembly. In a thermodynamically driven strategy, we used poor solvency conditions to induce homopolymer surface segregation in pinned micelles (patches). Patchy nanoparticles underwent self-assembly in a well-defined and controlled manner. Following this work, we overcame the limitation of low yield of the generation of patchy nanoparticles, by using block copolymer ligands. For block copolymer-capped nanoparticles, patch formation and self-assembly were "staged" by using distinct stimuli for each process. We expanded this work to the generation of patchy nanoparticles via dynamic exchange of block copolymer molecules between the nanoparticle surface and micelles in the solution. The scope of our work was further extended to a series of strategies that utilized the change in the configuration of block copolymer ligands during nanoparticle interactions. To this end, we explored the amphiphilicity of block copolymer-tethered nanoparticles and complementary interactions between reactive block copolymer ligands. Both approaches enabled exquisite control over directional and self-limiting self-assembly of complex hierarchical nanostructures. Next, we focused on the self-assembly of chiral nanostructures. To enable this goal, we attached chiral molecules to the surface of nanoparticles and organized these hybrid building blocks in ensembles with excellent chiroptical properties. In summary, our work enables surface engineering of polymer-capped nanoparticles and their controllable and predictable self-assembly. Future research in the field of nanoparticle self-assembly will include the development of effective characterization techniques, the synthesis of new functional polymers, and the development of environmentally responsive self-assembly of polymer-capped nanoparticles for the fabrication of nanomaterials with tailored functionalities.

Abstract
Innovations in nanomedicine has guided the improved outcomes for cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, frequent use of nanomaterials remains challenging due to specific limitations like non-targeted distribution causing low signal-to-noise ratio for diagnostics, complex fabrication, reduced-biocompatibility, decreased photostability, and systemic toxicity of nanomaterials within the body. Thus, better nanomaterial-systems with controlled physicochemical and biological properties, form the need of the hour. In this context, smart nanomaterials serve as promising solution, as they can be activated under specific exogenous or endogenous stimuli such as pH, temperature, enzymes, or a particular biological molecule. The properties of smart nanomaterials make them ideal candidates for various applications like biosensors, controlled drug release, and treatment of various diseases. Recently, smart nanomaterial-based cancer theranostic approaches have been developed, and they are displaying better selectivity and sensitivity with reduced side-effects in comparison to conventional methods. In cancer therapy, the smart nanomaterials-system only activates in response to tumor microenvironment (TME) and remains in deactivated state in normal cells, which further reduces the side-effects and systemic toxicities. Thus, the present review aims to describe the stimulus-based classification of smart nanomaterials, tumor microenvironment-responsive behaviour, and their up-to-date applications in cancer theranostics. Besides, present review addresses the development of various smart nanomaterials and their advantages for diagnosing and treating cancer. Here, we also discuss about the drug targeting and sustained drug release from nanocarriers, and different types of nanomaterials which have been engineered for this intent. Additionally, the present challenges and prospects of nanomaterials in effective cancer diagnosis and therapeutics have been discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Inherent limitations of single cancer therapy are overcome by multi-therapy modality, which integrates characteristics of each therapeutic modality and material chemistry. The multi-modal method has the potential for becoming one of the next generation options for cancer treatments. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an efficient, non-invasive treatment method that can be used on various cancer types. We propose an acid-triggered self-destructing nano-biocatalyst integrated starvation/chemical/photothermal triple therapy that is based on design principles and biomedical applications of GOx cancer treatment methods.
Methods
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potentials were used to analyze the physical as well as chemical properties of MoS2@DOX/GOx@MnO2 (M@D/G@M). Further, Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to assess the compositions of the nanocatalysts. The biological effects of M@D/G@M on cells were studied in vitro by inverted fluorescence microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry, CCK-8 test, and hemolysis test. Treatment effects of the nanocatalysts were evaluated in MHCC-97H tumor BALB/c mice, whose body weights, tumor local temperature, tumor volumes, and tumor histological changes were evaluated.
Results
There was a high DOX encapsulation efficiency of M@D/G@M (90.233%). The photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of M@D/G@M is 25.2%, and its oxygen production within 5 min reached 27.5 mg L−1. Cell internalization analysis showed that within 4 h, M@D/G@M was almost completely absorbed by HepG2 cells. Further, the highest red fluorescence and apoptosis effects of dead cells (59.07% apoptosis) as well as the lowest tumor volume index of mice (0.2862%) were observed in the M@D/G@M + pH6.0 + NIR treatment group.
Conclusions
Our findings inform the development and applications of multi-modal methods in tumor therapy.

Abstract
Polymer-grafted hairy nanoparticles (HNPs) that combine the unique properties of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) and polymers are attractive building blocks for the layer-by-layer assembly of functional hybrid materials, but the adsorption behaviors of HNPs on substrates remain unclear. This article describes a systematic study on the adsorption behavior of charged polymer-grafted HNPs on oppositely charged substrates in different solvent media via a combination of experiments and simulations. We show in simulations that the adsorption process of HNPs is associated with the release of counterions around charged polymers on HNPs, thus resulting in a higher energy barrier of NP adsorption than bare NPs without charged polymer tethers. This energy barrier decreases with decreasing the dielectricity of solvents or ionization degree of grafted polymers or increasing ionic strength of the solution. Furthermore, we confirmed our theoretical prediction in experiments by using a model system of poly(acrylic acid)-grafted silica NPs and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-modified wafers. The work provides guidance for the electrostatic assembly of HNPs into functional hybrid composites with applications in membranes, optical devices, and biomedicines.

Abstract
Two undescribed nitrogen bridged cassane alkaloids (caesanamides A-B) and five undescribed oxygen bridged cassane diterpenoids (caesalpinins JA-JE), together with six known analogs, were isolated and identified from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan. Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were unequivocally elucidated by the analysis of comprehensive spectroscopic data, ECD calculations, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the CASE algorithm. Among them, caesanamides A and B represent the first examples of cassane alkaloids bearing unique ring systems of an amide bridge between C-19/C-20 incorporating a 1,3-oxazolidine (6/6/6/5/6/5) or a 7-one-1,3-oxazepine (6/6/6/5/6/7). Caesalpinin JA is an A/B cis-20-norcassane diterpenoid with a rare five-membered oxygen bridge between C-10/C-18. Biological evaluation showed that cassane alkaloids exhibited significant cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells with IC50 values of 13.48 ± 1.07 μM (caesanamide A), 18.91 ± 0.98 μM (caesanamide B), and 7.82 ± 0.65 μM (caesanine B). Further flow cytometry analysis revealed that caesanine B could cause G0G1 cell cycle arrest and promote apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Mitochondria, as one of the most critical subcellular organelles of cancer cells, are very vulnerable and often on the verge of oxidative stress. The classic chemodynamic therapy (CDT) directly employs endogenous chemical energy to trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst and destroy tumor cells. However, the effectiveness of CDT is restricted by the limited diffusion distance and short half-life of ROS. From this perspective, the treatment method (mitochondria-targeting chemodynamic therapy nanodrugs, M-CDT nanodrugs) that can generate high levels of ROS at the mitochondrial site is extremely efficient and promising for cancer treatment. Currently, many emerging M-CDT nanodrugs have been demonstrated excellent spatial specificity and anti-cancer efficacy. In this minireview, we review various proof-of-concept researches based on different M-CDT nanodrugs designs to overcome the limits of the efficacy of CDT, mainly divided into four strategies: supplying H2O2, non-H2O2 dependent CDT, eliminating GSH and enhancing by hyperthermia therapy (HT). These well-designed M-CDT nanodrugs greatly increase the efficacy of CDT. Finally, the progress and potential of M-CDT nanodrugs are discussed, as well as their limitations and opportunities.

Abstract
Chemotherapy remains one of the most prevailing regimens hitherto in the fight against cancer, but its development has been being suffering from various fatal side effects associated with the non-specific toxicity of common chemical drugs. Advances in biomedical application of nanomedicine have been providing alternative but promising approaches for cancer therapy, by leveraging its excellent intrinsic physicochemical properties to address these critical concerns. In particular, nanomedicine-enabled chemotherapy has been established as a safer and promising therapeutic modality, especially the recently proposed nanocatalytic medicine featuring the capabilities to generate toxic substances by initiating diverse catalytic reactions within the tumor without directly relying on highly toxic but non-selective chemotherapeutic agents. Of special note, under exogenous/endogenous stimulations, nanomedicine can serve as a versatile platform that allows additional therapeutic modalities (photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), etc.) to be seamlessly integrated with chemotherapy for efficacious synergistic treatments of tumors. Here, we comprehensively review and summarize the representative studies of multimodal synergistic cancer treatments derived from nanomedicine and nanocatalytic medicine-enabled chemotherapy in recent years, and their underlying mechanisms are also presented in detail. A number of existing challenges and further perspectives for nanomedicine-synergized chemotherapy for malignant solid tumor treatments are also highlighted for understanding this booming research area as comprehensively as possible. ![]()

Abstract
Dynamic inorganic nanoassemblies (DINAs) have emerged as smart nanomedicine platforms with promising potential for bioimaging and targeted drug delivery. In this review, we keep abreast of the advances in development of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive DINAs to meet the challenges associated with precise cancer therapy. TME-responsive DINAs are designed to achieve precise switches of structures/functions in response to TME-specific stimuli including reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced pH and hypoxia, so as to enhance the tumor accumulation of nanoassemblies, overcome the biological barriers during intratumoral penentration of therapeutics, and achieve tumor-specific imaging and therapy. This progress report will summarize various types of recently reported smart DINAs for TME-responsive tumor imaging and therapy. Their future development towards potential clinical translation will also be discussed.

Abstract
We report segregation between the athermal active and passive particles mediated by the local alignment interaction in a confined space. The competition between the alignment interaction and self-propulsion force results in a transition between disordered and ordered phases. We show that as the coordination between the particles increases, they form an ordered mill, which helps the particles to aggregate into isotropic clusters. As a result, particles segregate into active core and passive shells. This segregation phenomenon is adversely affected by the packing fraction and the size dispersion between active and passive particles. We show that this adverse effect can be overcome by incorporating higher coordination in the system. We report that the monodispersed system is more desirable for segregation in a binary mixture than a bidispersed system, as the latter favors the mixed state.

GSH/ROS Dual-Responsive Supramolecular Nanoparticles Based on Pillar[6]arene and Betulinic Acid Prodrug for Chemo-Chemodynamic Combination Therapy. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26195900.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on intracellular Fenton reactions is attracting increasing interest in cancer treatment. A simple and novel method to regulate the tumor microenvironment for improved CDT with satisfactory effectiveness is urgently needed. Therefore, glutathione (GSH)/ROS (reactive oxygen species) dual-responsive supramolecular nanoparticles (GOx@BNPs) for chemo–chemodynamic combination therapy were constructed via host–guest complexation between water-soluble pillar[6]arene and the ferrocene-modified natural anticancer product betulinic acid (BA) prodrug, followed by encapsulation of glucose oxidase (GOx) in the nanoparticles. The novel supramolecular nanoparticles could be activated by the overexpressed GSH and ROS in the tumor microenvironment (TME), not only accelerating the dissociation of nanoparticles—and, thus, improving the BA recovery and release capability in tumors—but also showing the high-efficiency conversion of glucose into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in succession through intracellular Fenton reactions. Investigation of antitumor activity and mechanisms revealed that the dramatic suppression of cancer cell growth induced by GOx@BNPs was derived from the elevation of ROS, decrease in ATP and mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP) and, finally, cell apoptosis. This work presents a novel method for the regulation of the tumor microenvironment for improved CDT, and the preparation of novel GSH/ROS dual-responsive supramolecular nanoparticles, which could exert significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells through the synergistic interaction of chemodynamic therapy, starvation therapy, and chemotherapy (CDT/ST/CT).

Dual targeting smart drug delivery system for multimodal synergistic combination cancer therapy with reduced cardiotoxicity. Acta Biomater 2021; 131:493-507.

Abstract
This study first reports the development of a smart drug delivery system (DDS) for multimodal synergistic cancer therapy combining chemo-photothermal-starvation approaches. A magnetic photothermal agent was synthesized by preparing iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles (NPs) with covalently attached indocyanine green (ICG) and glucose oxidase (GOx) (ICGOx@IO). Synthesized ICGOx@IO NPs were co-encapsulated with doxorubicin (Dox) and EGCG ((-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate) inside PLGA (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)) NPs using multiple emulsion solvent evaporation method. Such formulation gave the advantage of triggered drug release by near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation (808 nm at 1 W/cm2). RGD peptide was attached to the surface of PLGA NPs and the final hydrodynamic size was around 210 nm. Dual targeting by peptide and 240 mT external magnet significantly improved cellular uptake. Cellular uptake was observed using FACS, electron and optical microscopy. Dual targeting along with laser irradiation could reduce in vitro cell viability by 90 ± 2% (Dox-equivalent dose: 10 µg/ml) and complete tumor ablation was achieved in vivo due to synergetic therapeutic effect. Another attractive feature of the DDS was the significant reduction of cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin by EGCG. This new platform is thus expected to hold strong promise for future multimodal combination therapy of cancers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Doxorubicin is one of the most studied and effective chemotherapeutic agents whose application is hindered due to its cardiotoxicity. In this study, we used (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) to overcome that limitation. However, drug delivery to tumor sites with no/minimum accumulation in healthy organs is always challenging. Although peptide-based targeting is very popular, the effectiveness of receptor/ligand binding active targeting is sometimes questioned which motivated us to apply dual targeting approach. Multimodal therapies can exhibit synergistic effects and subsequently reduce the required dose of drug over monotherapy. We aimed to achieve chemo-photothermal-starvation combination therapy in this study and such achievement is yet to be reported. Our developed system also has the advantage of triggered drug release by near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation.

Abstract
Combining phototherapy with the cancer cell metabolic pathway altering strategies, that is, glucose starvation, would be a promising approach to accomplish high curative efficiency of cancer treatment. Accordingly, herein, we sought to construct a multifunctional biomimetic hybrid nanoreactor by fastening nanozyme AuNPs (glucose oxidase activity) and PtNPs (catalase and peroxidase activity) and photosensitizer Indocyanine green (ICG) onto the polydopamine (PDA) surface (ICG/Au/Pt@PDA-PEG) to attain superior cancer cell killing efficiency though win-win cooperation between starvation therapy, phototherapy, and chemodynamic therapy. The as-synthesized ICG/Au/Pt@PDA-PEG has shown excellent light-to-heat conversion (photothermal therapy) and reactive oxygen species generation (photodynamic therapy) properties upon laser irradiation and also red-shifted ICG absorption (from 780 to 800 nm) and enhanced its photostability. Further, the ICG/Au/Pt@PDA-PEG NRs have reduced the solution glucose concentration and slightly increased solution oxygen levels and also enhanced 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine oxidation in the presence of glucose through a cascade of enzymatic activities. The in vitro results demonstrated that the ICG/Au/Pt@PDA-PEG NRs have superior therapeutic efficacy against cancer cells via the cooperative effect between starvation/photo/chemodynamic therapies and not much toxicity to normal cells.

Abstract
Glucose starvation has emerged as a therapeutic strategy to inhibit tumor growth by regulating glucose metabolism. However, the rapid proliferation of cancer cells could induce the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) which limits the therapeutic efficacy of glucose starvation by vascular isomerization. Herein, we developed a "dual-lock" supramolecular nanomedicine system for synergistic cancer therapy by integrating glucose oxidase (GOx) induced starvation and hypoxia-activated gene therapy. The host-guest interactions (that mediate nano-assembly formation) and hypoxia-activatable promoters act as two locks to keep glucose oxidase (GOx) and a therapeutic plasmid (RTP801::p53) inside supramolecular gold nanovesicles (Au NVs). Upon initial dissociation of the host-guest interactions and hence Au NVs by cancer-specific reactive oxygen species (ROS), GOx is released to consume glucose and oxygen, generate H2O2 and induce the hypoxic TME, which act as the two keys for triggering burst payload release and promoter activation, thus allowing synergistic starvation and gene therapy of cancer. This "dual-lock" supramolecular nanomedicine exhibited integrated therapeutic effects in vitro and in vivo for tumor suppression.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy has been severely limited by the hypoxia in tumor microenvironment. A multitherapy modality was developed, integrating the advantages of each therapy and a nanocarrier: PDT and PDT-induced hypoxia-activated chemotherapy. Following PDT-induced hypoxia augmented in the periphery of the tumors, chemotherapy was locally activated. To this end, new indocyanine green (IR820) and a hypoxia-activated prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) were loaded in glutathione (GSH) decomposable mesoporous organic silica nanoparticles (GMONs), tethered by hyaluronic acid (HA). This nanohybrid showed a tendency to accumulate and be retained in tumors, due to passive and active targeting. The IR820 produced singlet oxygen (1O2) under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation and concomitantly tumorous abnormality exacerbated hypoxia. TPZ-mediated hypoxia-activated chemotherapy acted to kill more tumor cells. In vivo results indicated that the tumor inhibition rate of dual-loaded nanohybrids was up to 76% under NIR laser irradiation. The immunofluorescence staining of tumor slices demonstrated that the superficial part of tumors experienced exacerbated hypoxia with laser irradiation, resulting in TPZ exerting powerful chemotherapy effects. This nanohybrid is expected to be valuable as spatiotemporally specific therapy for cancer.
