Abstract
The low therapeutic efficacy and potential long-term toxicity of antitumor treatments seriously limit the clinical application of phototherapies. Herein, we develop a degradable phototheranostic nanoplatform for NIR-II fluorescence bioimaging-guided synergistic photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic therapies (PDT) and immune activation to inhibit tumor growth. The phototheranostic nanoplatform (CX@PSS) consists of multidisulfide-containing polyurethane loaded with a photosensitizer CX, which can be specifically degraded in the GSH overexpressed tumor microenvironment (TME) and exhibits good NIR-II fluorescence, photodynamic, and photothermal properties. Under 808 nm light irradiation, CX@PSS exhibits efficient photothermal conversion and ROS generation, which further induces immunogenic cell death (ICD), releasing tumor-associated antigens and activating the immune response. In vitro and in vivo studies confirm the potential of CX@PSS in NIR II FL imaging-guided tumor treatments by synergistic PTT, PDT, and immune activation. This work is expected to provide a new pathway for clinical applications of imaging-guided tumor diagnosis and treatments.

Abstract
Infectious diseases severely threaten human health, and traditional treatment techniques face multiple limitations. As an important component of immune cells, macrophages display unique biological properties, such as biocompatibility, immunocompatibility, targeting specificity, and immunoregulatory activity, and play a critical role in protecting the body against infections. The macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles not only maintain the functions of the inner nanoparticles but also inherit the characteristics of macrophages, making them excellent tools for improving drug delivery and therapeutic implications in infectious diseases (IDs). In this review, we describe the characteristics and functions of macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles and their advantages and challenges in ID therapy. We first summarize the pathological features of IDs, providing insight into how to fight them. Next, we focus on the classification, characteristics, and preparation of macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles. Finally, we comprehensively describe the progress of macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles in combating IDs, including drug delivery, inhibition and killing of pathogens, and immune modulation. At the end of this review, a look forward to the challenges of this aspect is presented.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a global health problem that closely related to various diseases threatening human life. Although antibiotic therapy has been the mainstream treatment method for various bacterial infectious diseases for decades, the increasing emergence of bacterial drug resistance has brought enormous challenges to the application of antibiotics. Therefore, developing novel antibacterial strategies is of great importance. By producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with photosensitizers (PSs) under light irradiation, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a non-invasive and promising approach for treating bacterial infections without causing drug resistance. However, the insufficient therapeutic penetration, poor hydrophilicity, and poor biocompatibility of traditional PSs greatly limit the efficacy of aPDT. Recently, studies have found that nanomaterials with characteristics of favorable photocatalytic activity, surface plasmonic resonance, easy modification, and high drug loading capacity can improve the therapeutic efficacy of aPDT. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of nanomaterials-mediated aPDT and summarize the representative nanomaterials in aPDT, either as PSs or carriers for PSs. In addition, the combination of advanced nanomaterials-mediated aPDT with other therapies, including targeted therapy, gas therapy, and multidrug resistance (MDR) therapy, is reviewed. Also, the concerns and possible solutions of nanomaterials-based aPDT are discussed. Overall, this review may provide theoretical basis and inspiration for the development of nanomaterials-based aPDT.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is a noninvasive cancer treatment that utilizes photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species upon light exposure, leading to tumor cell apoptosis. Although photosensitizers have shown efficacy in clinical practice, they are associated with certain disadvantages, such as a certain degree of toxicity and limited availability. Recent studies have shown that natural product photosensitizers offer promising options due to their low toxicity and potential therapeutic effects. In this review, we provide a summary and evaluation of the current clinical photosensitizers that are commonly used and delve into the anticancer potential of natural product photosensitizers like psoralens, quinonoids, chlorophyll derivatives, curcumin, chrysophanol, doxorubicin, tetracyclines, Leguminosae extracts, and Lonicera japonica extract. The emphasis is on their phototoxicity, pharmacological benefits, and effectiveness against different types of diseases. Novel and more effective natural product photosensitizers for future clinical application are yet to be explored in further research. In conclusion, natural product photosensitizers have potential in photodynamic therapy and represent a promising area of research for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exhibits great application prospects in future clinical oncology due to its spatiotemporal controllability and good biosafety. However, the antitumor efficacy of PDT is seriously hindered by many factors, including tumor hypoxia, limited light penetration ability, and strong defense mechanisms of tumors. Considering that it is difficult to completely solve the first two problems, enhancing the lethality of antitumor PDT has become a good idea to extend its clinical application. Herein, we summarize the nanoplatform-involved strategies to effectively amplify the tumoricidal capability of current PDT and then discuss the present bottlenecks and prospects of the nanoplatform-based PDT sensitization strategies in tumor therapy. We hope this review will provide some references for others to design high-performance PDT nanoplatforms for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) represents a non-invasive treatment strategy currently utilized in the clinical management of selected cancers and infections. This technique is predicated on the administration of a photosensitizer (PS) and subsequent irradiation with light of specific wavelengths, thereby generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) within targeted cells. The cellular effects of PDT are dependent on both the localization of the PS and the severity of ROS challenge, potentially leading to the stimulation of various cell death modalities. For many years, the concept of regulated cell death (RCD) triggered by photodynamic reactions predominantly encompassed apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. However, in recent decades, further explorations have unveiled additional cell death modalities, such as necroptosis, ferroptosis, cuproptosis, pyroptosis, parthanatos, and immunogenic cell death (ICD), which helps to achieve tumor cell elimination. Recently, nanoparticles (NPs) have demonstrated substantial advantages over traditional PSs and become important components of PDT, due to their improved physicochemical properties, such as enhanced solubility and superior specificity for targeted cells. This review aims to summarize recent advancements in the applications of different metal-based NPs as PSs or delivery systems for optimized PDT in cancer treatment. Furthermore, it mechanistically highlights the contribution of RCD pathways during PDT with metal NPs and how these forms of cell death can improve specific PDT regimens in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved noninvasive tumor therapy that can selectively kill malignant tumor cells, with promising use in the treatment of various cancers. PDT is typically composed of three important parts: the specific wavelength of light, photosensitizer (PS), and oxygen. With the progressing investigation on PDT treatment, the most recent attention has focused on improving photodynamic efficiency. Tumor hypoxia has always been a critical factor hindering the efficacy of PDT. Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOF), the fourth generation of PS, present great potential in photodynamic therapy. In particular, nMOF combined with metal nanoparticles and metal oxide/peroxide has demonstrated unique properties for enhanced PDT. The metal and metal oxide nanoparticles can catalyze H2O2 to generate oxygen or automatically produces oxygen, alleviating the hypoxia and improving the photodynamic efficiency. Metal peroxide nanoparticles can spontaneously produce oxygen in water or under acidic conditions. Therefore, this Review summarizes the recent development of nMOF combined with metal nanoparticles (platinum nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles) and metal oxide/peroxide (manganese dioxide, ferric oxide, cerium oxide, calcium peroxide, and magnesium peroxide) for enhanced photodynamic therapy by alleviating tumor hypoxia. Finally, future perspectives of nMOF combined nanomaterials in PDT are put forward.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy, in which photosensitizers locally generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, can treat tumor tissue with minimal effects on surrounding normal tissue, but it can be ineffective because of the anoxic tumor microenvironment. Here we developed a strategy to inactivate the mitochondria of tumor cells in order to ensure adequate local oxygen concentrations for photodynamic therapy. We conjugated the photosensitizer 5-aminolevulinic acid to the lipophilic cation triphenylphosphine, which targets mitochondria. Then we packaged the conjugate into nanoparticles that were based on biocompatible bovine serum albumin and coated with folic acid in order to target the abundant folate receptors on the tumor surface. In studies in cell culture and BALB/c mice bearing MCF-7 xenografts, we found that the nanoparticles helped solubilize the cation-photosensitizer conjugate, prolong its circulation, and enhance its photodynamic antitumor effects. We confirmed the ability of the nanoparticles to target tumor cells and their mitochondria using confocal laser microscopy and in vivo assays of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tissue distribution. Our results not only identify a novel nanoparticle system for treating cancer, but they demonstrate the feasibility of enhancing photodynamic therapy by reducing oxygen consumption within tumors.

Abstract
In recent years, because of the growing desire to improve the noninvasiveness and safety of tumor treatments, sonodynamic therapy has gradually become a popular research topic. However, due to the complexity of the therapeutic process, the relevant mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. One of the widely accepted possibilities involves the effect of reactive oxygen species. In this review, the mechanism of reactive oxygen species production by sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and ways to enhance the sonodynamic production of reactive oxygen species are reviewed. Then, the clinical application and limitations of SDT are discussed. In conclusion, current research on sonodynamic therapy should focus on the development of sonosensitizers that efficiently produce active oxygen, exhibit biological safety, and promote the clinical transformation of sonodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapy is a new method to treat tumor, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). However, the GSH in tumor cells could deplete ROS produced by photosensitizers, resulting in inadequate PDT. Isothiocyanate not only is a new type of anti-tumor drug, but also may combine with GSH, increasing the content of intracellular ROS and improving PDT effect. Here we synthesized a kind of water-soluble nanoparticles (BN NPs) parceling BODIPY-I-35 up with mPEG-ITC and lecithin. mPEG-ITC can react with GSH in tumor cells to reduce the consumption of ROS. BN NPs can be used as vectors to deliver drugs to tumor sites. Under 808 nm laser irradiation, BN NPs solution increased 13 °C within 10 min, indicating that BN NPs had superb photothermal performance. In vitro experiments, low dose BN NPs showed satisfactory PDT and PTT effects, and the cell viability of MCF-7 cell was only 13%. In vivo, BN NPs with excellent biocompatibility showed favorable phototherapy effect and tumor was effectively inhibited. Fluorescence imaging could present the long retention effect of BN NPs in tumor locations. In conclusion, the BN NPs showed the effect of enhancing phototherapy and provided a remarkable application prospect in the phototherapy of tumor cells.

Abstract
Biofilm formation is a critical event in the pathogenesis and virulence of fungal infections caused by Candida albicans, giving rise to about a 1000-fold increase in the resistance to antifungal agents. Although photodynamic treatment (PDT) has been excellently implicated in bacterial infections, studies on its potential against fungal infection through the clearance of fungal biofilm formation remain at its infancy stage. Here, we have designed photodynamic nanoparticles with different sizes, modifications, and the ability of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) to examine their effects on inhibiting biofilm formation and destructing mature biofilms of C. albicans. We found that the nanoparticles modified with oligo-chitosan exhibited a better binding efficiency for planktonic cells, leading to stronger inhibitory efficacy of the filamentation and the early-stage biofilm formation. However, for mature biofilms, the nanoparticles with the smallest size (∼15 nm) showed the fastest penetration speed and a pronounced destructing effect albeit conferring the lowest ROS-producing capability. The inhibitory effect of photodynamic nanoparticles was dependent on the disruption of fungal quorum sensing (QS) by the upregulation of QS molecules, farnesol and tyrosol, mediated through the upregulation of ARO 8 and DPP 3 expression. Our findings provide a powerful strategy of nanoparticulate PDT to combat fungal infections through the inhibition of both hyphal and biofilm formation by disrupting QS.

Abstract
Cancer remains a severe threat to human health. To date, although various therapeutic methods, including radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), phototherapy, starvation therapy, and immunotherapy, have entered a new stage of rapid progress in cancer theranostics, their limited therapeutic effect and significant side effects need to be considered carefully. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the marriage of nanomaterials and therapeutic methods provides the practical possibility to improve the deficiencies in cancer therapy. Notably, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composed of ions/clusters and bridging ligands through coordination bonds have been widely applied in cancer therapy to deal with the drawbacks of different therapeutic methods, such as severe side effects, low stability, and poor efficacy, owing to their controllable morphologies, tailorable diameters, diverse compositions, tunable porosities, high specific surface areas, facile functionalization, and good biocompatibility. This review summarizes the recent advanced developments and achievements of multifunctional MOF-based nanoplatforms for cancer therapy through single therapy methods, including RT, chemotherapy, CDT, phototherapy (photodynamic and photothermal therapy), starvation therapy and immunotherapy, and combination therapy methods. Moreover, the prospects and challenges of MOF-based nanoplatforms used in tumor therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
Although phototherapy has attracted extensive attention in antitumor field in recent years, its therapeutic effect is usually unsatisfactory because of the complexity and variability of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we report novel CoSn(OH)6@CoOOH hollow carriers with oxidase properties that can enhance phototherapy. Hollow CoSn(OH)6@CoOOH nanocubes (NCs) with a particle size of ∼160 nm were synthesized via a two-step process of coprecipitation and etching. These NCs can react with O2 to generate singlet oxygen without hydrogen peroxide and consume glutathione, and their hollow structure can be utilized to carry drug molecules. After loading indocyanine green (ICG) and 1,2-bis(2-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)propan-2-yl) diazene dihydrochloride (AIPH), the resulting nanosystem (HCIA) exhibited enhanced phototherapy effects through the catalytic activity of oxidase, production of alkyl radicals, and consumption of glutathione. Cell and mouse experiments showed that HCIA combined with near-infrared laser irradiation significantly inhibited the growth of 4T1 tumors. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways were highly relevant to this therapeutic system. Such hollow NCs with oxidase activity have considerable potential for the design of multifunctional drug delivery vehicles for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a highly selective, widely applicable, and non-invasive therapeutic modality that is an alternative to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, is extensively applied to cancer therapy. Practically, the efficiency of PDT is severely hindered by the existence of hypoxia in tumor tissue. Hypoxia is a typical hallmark of malignant solid tumors, which remains an essential impediment to many current treatments, thereby leading to poor clinical prognosis after therapy. To address this issue, studies have been focused on modulating tumor hypoxia to augment the therapeutic efficacy. Although nanomaterials to relieve tumor hypoxia for enhanced PDT have been demonstrated in many research articles, a systematical summary of the role of nanomaterials in alleviating tumor hypoxia is scarce. In this review, we introduced the mechanism of PDT, and the involved therapeutic modality of PDT for ablation of tumor cells was specifically summarized. Moreover, current advances in nanomaterials-mediated tumor oxygenation via oxygen-carrying or oxygen-generation tactics to alleviate tumor hypoxia are emphasized. Based on these considerable summaries and analyses, we proposed some feasible perspectives on nanoparticle-based tumor oxygenation to ameliorate the therapeutic outcomes, which may provide some detailed information in designing new oxygenation nanomaterials in this burgeneous field.

Abstract
Malignant brain tumors, a heterogeneous group of primary and metastatic neoplasms in the central nervous system (CNS), are notorious for their highly invasive and devastating characteristics, dismal prognosis and low survival rate. Recently, near-infrared (NIR) optical imaging modalities including fluorescence imaging (FLI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) have displayed bright prospect in innovation of brain tumor diagnoses, due to their merits, like noninvasiveness, high spatiotemporal resolution, good sensitivity and large penetration depth. Importantly, these imaging techniques have been widely used to vividly guide diverse brain tumor therapies in a real-time manner with high accuracy and efficiency. Herein, we provide a systematic summary of the state-of-the-art NIR contrast agents (CAs) for brain tumors single-modal imaging (e.g., FLI and PAI), dual-modal imaging (e.g., FLI/PAI, FLI/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PAI/MRI) and triple-modal imaging (e.g., MRI/FLI/PAI and MRI/PAI/computed tomography (CT) imaging). In addition, we update the most recent progress on the NIR optical imaging-guided therapies, like single-modal (e.g., photothermal therapy (PTT), chemotherapy, surgery, photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy and gas therapy), dual-modal (e.g., PTT/chemotherapy, PTT/surgery, PTT/PDT, PDT/chemotherapy, PTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and PTT/gene therapy) and triple-modal (e.g., PTT/PDT/chemotherapy, PTT/PDT/surgery, PTT/PDT/gene therapy and PTT/gene/chemotherapy). Finally, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of the CAs and nanotheranostics for future clinic translation.

Abstract
Cellular metabolisms produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are essential for cellular signaling pathways and physiological functions. Nevertheless, ROS act as “double-edged swords” that have an unstable redox balance between ROS production and removal. A little raise of ROS results in cell proliferation enhancement, survival, and soft immune responses, while a high level of ROS could lead to cellular damage consequently protein, nucleic acid, and lipid damages and finally cell death. ROS play an important role in various pathological circumstances. On the contrary, ROS can show selective toxicity which is used against cancer cells and pathogens. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on three important components including a photosensitizer (PS), oxygen, and light. Upon excitation of the PS at a specific wavelength, the PDT process begins which leads to ROS generation. ROS produced during PDT could induce two different pathways. If PDT produces control and low ROS, it can lead to cell proliferation and differentiation. However, excess production of ROS by PDT causes cellular photo damage which is the main mechanism used in cancer treatment. This review summarizes the functions of ROS in living systems and describes role of PDT in production of controllable ROS and finally a special focus on current ROS-generating therapeutic protocols for regeneration and wound healing.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common new cancer case and the second most fatal malignancy in men. Surgery, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main clinical treatment options for PCa. However, most prostate cancers can develop into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and due to the invasiveness of prostate cancer cells, they become resistant to different treatments and activate tumor-promoting signaling pathways, thereby inducing chemoresistance, radioresistance, ADT resistance, and immune resistance. Nanotechnology, which can combine treatment with diagnostic imaging tools, is emerging as a promising treatment modality in prostate cancer therapy. Nanoparticles can not only promote their accumulation at the pathological site through passive targeting techniques for enhanced permeability and retention (EPR), but also provide additional advantages for active targeting using different ligands. This property results in a reduced drug dose to achieve the desired effect, a longer duration of action within the tumor and fewer side effects on healthy tissues. In addition, nanotechnology can create good synergy with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, thermotherapy, photodynamic therapy and gene therapy to enhance their therapeutic effects with greater scope, and reduce the resistance of prostate cancer. In this article, we intend to review and discuss the latest technologies regarding the use of nanomaterials as therapeutic and diagnostic tools for prostate cancer.

Abstract
The introduction of nanotechnology in the field of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) has proven to have great potential to overcome some of the challenges associated with traditional organic photosensitizers (PS) with respect to their solubility, drug delivery, distribution and site-specific targeting. Other focused areas in PDT involve high singlet oxygen production capability and excitability of PS by deep tissue penetrating light wavelengths. Owing to their very promising optical and surface plasmon resonance properties, combination of traditional PSs with plasmonic metallic nanoparticles like gold and silver nanoparticles results in remarkably high singlet oxygen production and extended excitation property from visible and near-infrared lights. This review summarizes the importance, fundamentals and applications of on plasmonic metallic nanoparticles in PDT. Lastly, we highlight the future prospects of these plasmonic nanoengineering strategies with or without PS combination, to have a significant impact in improving the therapeutic efficacy of cancer PDT.

Abstract
Cancer phototherapy has attracted increasing attention for its effectiveness, relatively low side effect, and noninvasiveness. The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown to exhibit promising prospects in cancer treatment. However, the tumor hypoxia, high level of intracellular glutathione (GSH), and insufficient photosensitizer uptake significantly limit the PDT efficacy. In this work, we combine oxygen supply, GSH depletion, and tumor targeting in one nanoplatform, folate-decorated mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (FA-MPPD) co-loaded with new indocyanine green (IR-820) and perfluorooctane (PFO) (IR-820/PFO@FA-MPPD), to overcome the PDT resistance for enhanced cancer PDT/PTT. IR-820/PFO@FA-MPPD exhibit efficient singlet oxygen generation and photothermal effect under 808 nm laser irradiation, GSH-promoted IR-820 release, and efficient cellular uptake, resulting in high intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level under 808 nm laser irradiation and strong photocytotoxicity in vitro. Following intratumoral injection, IR-820/PFO@FA-MPPD can relieve tumor hypoxia sustainably by PFO-mediated oxygen transport and deplete intracellular GSH by the Michael addition reaction, which boost the PDT effect and lead to the most potent antitumor effect upon 808 nm laser irradiation. The multifunctional IR-820/PFO@FA-MPPD developed in this work offer a relatively simple and effective strategy to potentiate PDT for efficient cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted increasing attention in tumor treatment but is limited by insufficient endogenous H2O2. Moreover, it is challenging for monotherapy to achieve a satisfactory outcome due to tumor complexity. Herein, we developed an intelligent nanoplatform that could respond to a tumor microenvironment to induce efficient CDT without complete dependence on H2O2 and concomitantly generate chemotherapy and oncosis therapy (OT). The nanoplatform was constructed by a calcium- and iron-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticle (CFMSN) loaded with dihydroartemisinin (DHA). After entering into cancer cells, the nanoplatform could directly convert the intracellular H2O2 into toxic •OH due to the Fenton-like activity of CFMSN. Meanwhile, the acidic microenvironment and endogenous chelating molecules triggered Ca2+ and Fe3+ release from the nanoplatform, causing particle collapse with accompanying DHA release for chemotherapy. Simultaneously, the released Ca2+ induced intracellular Ca2+-overloading for OT, which was further enhanced by DHA, while the released Fe3+ was reduced to reactive Fe2+ by intracellular glutathione, guaranteeing efficient Fenton reaction-mediated CDT. Moreover, Fe2+ cleaved the peroxy bonds of DHA to generate C-centered radicals to further amplify CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo results confirmed that the nanoplatform exhibited excellent anticancer efficacy via the synergistic effect of multi therapeutic modalities, which is extremely promising for high-efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
Polyelectrolytes (PEs) have been the aim of many research studies over the past years. PE films are prepared by the simple and versatile layer-by-layer (LbL) approach using alternating assemblies of polymer pairs involving a polyanion and a polycation. The adsorption of the alternating PE multiple layers is driven by different forces (i.e., electrostatic interactions, H-bonding, charge transfer interactions, hydrophobic forces, etc.), which enable an accurate control over the physical properties of the film (i.e., thickness at the nanoscale and morphology). These PE nano-assemblies have a wide range of biomedical and healthcare applications, including drug delivery, protein delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing, and so forth. This review provides a concise overview of the most outstanding research on the design and fabrication of PE nanofilms. Their nanostructures, molecular interactions with biomolecules, and applications in the biomedical field are briefly discussed. Finally, the perspectives of further research directions in the development of LbL nano-assemblies for healthcare and medical applications are highlighted.

Abstract
The anti-tumor efficacy of single photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy (RT) has been greatly affected by inadequate tumor uptake of photo/radiation sensitizers, limited laser penetration depth, and radiation sickness caused by high doses of X-rays. Here, the authors report a biomimetic coronavirus-inspired hollow mesoporous gadolinium/bismuth nanocarrier loaded with a new NIR photosensitizer HB (termed as HB@VHMBi-Gd) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic photodynamic-RT. HB@VHMBi-Gd displayed a faster cellular uptake rate than the conventional spherical HMBi-Gd loaded with HB (HB@SHMBi-Gd) because of rough surface-enhanced adhesion. After intravenous injection, HB@VHMBi-Gd is efficiently delivered to the tumor and rapidly invades the tumor cells by surface spikes. Interestingly, lysosomal acidity can trigger the degradation of VHMBi-Gd to produce ultrasmall nanoparticles to amplify the X-ray attenuation ability and enhance MRI contrast and radiosensitization. Under laser and X-ray irradiation, HB@VHMBi-Gd significantly enhances 1 O2 generation from HB to induce activation of caspase 9/3 and inhibition of C-myc, while enhancing hydroxyl radical generation from Bi2 O3 to induce intense DNA breakage. By synergistically inducing cell apoptosis by distinct reactive oxygen species (ROS), HB@VHMBi-Gd exhibits superior anticancer efficacy with ≈90% tumor inhibition. They envision that biomimetic virus-inspired hollow hybrid metal nanoparticles can provide a promising strategy for imaging-guided synergistic photodynamic-RT.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been applied in clinical treatment of tumors for a long time. However, insufficient supply of pivotal factors including photosensitizer (PS), light, and oxygen in tumor tissue dramatically reduces the therapeutic efficacy of PDT. Nanoparticles have received an influx of attention as drug carriers, and recent studies have demonstrated their promising potential to overcome the obstacles of PDT in tumor tissue. Physicochemical optimization for passive targeting, ligand modification for active targeting, and stimuli-responsive release achieved efficient delivery of PS to tumor tissue. Various trials using upconversion NPs, two-photon lasers, X-rays, and bioluminescence have provided clues for efficient methods of light delivery to deep tissue. Attempts have been made to overcome unfavorable tumor microenvironments via artificial oxygen generation, Fenton reaction, and combination with other chemical drugs. In this review, we introduce these creative approaches to addressing the hurdles facing PDT in tumors. In particular, the studies that have been validated in animal experiments are preferred in this review over proof-of-concept studies that were only performed in cells.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for an estimated 10 million deaths by 2020. Over the decades, various strategies for tumor therapy have been developed and evaluated. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted increasing attention due to its unique characteristics, including low systemic toxicity and minimally invasive nature. Despite the excellent clinical promise of PDT, hypoxia is still the Achilles' heel associated with its oxygen-dependent nature related to increased tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, and distant metastases. Moreover, PDT-mediated oxygen consumption further exacerbates the hypoxia condition, which will eventually lead to the poor effect of drug treatment and resistance and irreversible tumor metastasis, even limiting its effective application in the treatment of hypoxic tumors. Hypoxia, with increased oxygen consumption, may occur in acute and chronic hypoxia conditions in developing tumors. Tumor cells farther away from the capillaries have much lower oxygen levels than cells in adjacent areas. However, it is difficult to change the tumor's deep hypoxia state through different ways to reduce the tumor tissue's oxygen consumption. Therefore, it will become more difficult to cure malignant tumors completely. In recent years, numerous investigations have focused on improving PDT therapy's efficacy by providing molecular oxygen directly or indirectly to tumor tissues. In this review, different molecular oxygen supplementation methods are summarized to alleviate tumor hypoxia from the innovative perspective of using supplemental oxygen. Besides, the existing problems, future prospects and potential challenges of this strategy are also discussed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become a promising treatment option for highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, hypoxia limits the efficacy of PDT and promotes tumour aggression. In this work, we first constructed a multifunctional yolk-shell structured nanoplatform consisting of periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) coupled with chlorin e6 (Ce6) and catalase (Catalase) (Yolk-Shell PMO-Ce6@Catalase) for enhanced PDT against TNBC. This nanoplatform has an organic-inorganic hybrid skeleton structure, a uniform size and good stability and biocompatibility. In vitro experiments showed that the nanoplatform has a good ability to generate singlet oxygen. Catalase can convert H2O2 into O2, increasing the concentration of oxygen around the cells and overcoming the problem of hypoxia in the tumour, which enhances the effects of PDT. The in vivo experimental results showed that PDT with the Yolk-Shell PMO-Ce6@Catalase nanoplatform, compared with free Ce6 and Yolk-Shell PMO-Ce6 PDT, can significantly inhibit tumour growth, revealing the most extensive cellular apoptosis and necrosis in the tumour area in this treatment group. Additionally, the histopathological results showed that PDT did not cause significant side effects to the major organs. Therefore, we believe that this Yolk-Shell PMO-Ce6@Catalase nanoplatform has excellent clinical potential for PDT against TNBC.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is often diagnosed at the late stage when cancer has already spread and is characterized by a poor prognosis. Therefore, early diagnosis is vital for a better and efficient treatment outcome. Upper endoscopy with biopsy is the standard diagnostic tool for esophageal cancer but is challenging to diagnose at its premalignant stage, while conventional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and irradiation therapy, are challenging to eliminate the tumor. Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and therapy (PDT) modalities that employ photosensitizers (PSs) are emerging diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for esophageal cancer. However, some flaws associated with the classic PSs have limited their clinical applications. Functionalized nanomedicine has emerged as a potential drug delivery system to enhance PS drug biodistribution and cellular internalization. The conjugation of PSs with functionalized nanomedicine enables increased localization within esophageal cancer cells due to improved solubility and stability in blood circulation. This review highlights PS drugs used for PDD and PDT for esophageal cancer. In addition, it focuses on the various functionalized nanomedicine explored for esophageal cancer and their role in targeted PDD and PDT for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides, can be self-assembled. They are widely distributed, easy to obtain, and biocompatible. However, the self-assembly of proteins and peptides has disadvantages, such as difficulty in obtaining high quantities of materials, high cost, polydispersity, and purification limitations. The difficulties in using proteins and peptides as functional materials make it more complicate to arrange assembled nanostructures at both microscopic and macroscopic scales. Amino acids, as the smallest constituent of proteins and the smallest constituent in the bottom-up approach, are the smallest building blocks that can be self-assembled. The self-assembly of single amino acids has the advantages of low synthesis cost, simple modeling, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability in vivo. In addition, amino acids can be assembled with other components to meet multiple scientific needs. However, using these simple building blocks to design attractive materials remains a challenge due to the simplicity of the amino acids. Most of the review articles about self-assembly focus on large molecules, such as peptides and proteins. The preparation of complicated materials by self-assembly of amino acids has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, it is of great significance to systematically summarize the literature of amino acid self-assembly. This article reviews the recent advances in amino acid self-assembly regarding amino acid self-assembly, functional amino acid self-assembly, amino acid coordination self-assembly, and amino acid regulatory functional molecule self-assembly.

Abstract
Introduction: An imbalance in redox homeostasis consistently inhibits tumor cell proliferation and further causes tumor regression. Thus, synchronous glutaminolysis inhibition and intracellular reactive oxygen (ROS) accumulation cause severe redox dyshomeostasis, which may potentially become a new therapeutic strategy to effectively combat cancer. Methods: Mitochondrial-targeting liposomal nanoparticles (abbreviated MLipRIR NPs) are synthesized by the encapsulation of R162 (inhibitor of glutamate dehydrogenase 1 [GDH1]) and IR780 (a hydrophobic sonosensitizer) within the lipid bilayer, which are exploited for ultrasound (US)-activated tumor dyshomeostasis therapy reinforced by immunogenic cell death (ICD). Results: R162 released from MLipRIR NPs disrupts the glutaminolysis pathway in mitochondria, resulting in downregulated enzymatic activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx). In addition, loaded IR780 can generate high levels of ROS under US irradiation, which not only interrupts mitochondrial respiration to induce apoptosis but also consumes local glutathione (GSH). GSH depletion accompanied by GPx deactivation causes severe ferroptosis of tumor cells through the accumulation of lipid peroxides. Such intracellular redox dyshomeostasis effectively triggers immunogenic cell death (ICD), which can activate antitumor immunity for the suppression of both primary and distant tumors with the aid of immune checkpoint blockade. Conclusions: Taking advantage of multimodal imaging for therapy guidance, this nanoplatform may potentiate systemic tumor eradication with high certainty. Taken together, this state-of-the-art paradigm may provide useful insights for cancer management by disrupting redox homeostasis.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising non-invasive strategy in the fight against that which circumvents the systemic toxic effects of chemotherapeutics. It relies on photosensitizers (PSs), which are photoactivated by light irradiation and interaction with molecular oxygen. This generates highly reactive oxygen species (such as 1O2, H2O2, O2, ·OH), which kill cancer cells by necrosis or apoptosis. Despite the promising effects of PDT in cancer treatment, it still suffers from several shortcomings, such as poor biodistribution of hydrophobic PSs, low cellular uptake, and low efficacy in treating bulky or deep tumors. Hence, various nanoplatforms have been developed to increase PDT treatment effectiveness and minimize off-target adverse effects. Liposomes showed great potential in accommodating different PSs, chemotherapeutic drugs, and other therapeutically active molecules. Here, we review the state-of-the-art in encapsulating PSs alone or combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs into liposomes for effective tumor PDT.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and transmission threaten human health and well-being. Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4), a promising photocatalytic antibacterial nanomaterial, has attracted increasing attention to combat bacterial transmission, due to the outstanding stability, high efficiency and environmental sustainability of this material. However, the antibacterial efficiency of g-C3N4 is affected by several factors, including its specific surface area, rapid electron/hole recombination processes and optical absorption properties. To improve the efficiency of the antibacterial properties of g-C3N4 and extend its range of applications, various nanocomposites have been prepared and evaluated. In this review, the advances in amplifying the photocatalytic antibacterial efficiency of g-C3N4-based nanocomposites is discussed, including different topologies, noble metal decoration, non-noble metal doping and heterojunction construction. The enhancement mechanisms and synergistic effects in g-C3N4-based nanocomposites are highlighted. The remaining challenges and future perspectives of antibacterial g-C3N4-based nanocomposites are also discussed.

Abstract
The healing power of light has attracted interest for thousands of years. Scientific discoveries and technological advancements in the field have eventually led to the emergence of photodynamic therapy, which soon became a promising approach in treating a broad range of diseases. Based on the interaction between light, molecular oxygen, and various photosensitizers, photodynamic therapy represents a non-invasive, non-toxic, repeatable procedure for tumor treatment, wound healing, and pathogens inactivation. However, classic photosensitizing compounds impose limitations on their clinical applications. Aiming to overcome these drawbacks, nanotechnology came as a solution for improving targeting efficiency, release control, and solubility of traditional photosensitizers. This paper proposes a comprehensive path, starting with the photodynamic therapy mechanism, evolution over the years, integration of nanotechnology, and ending with a detailed review of the most important applications of this therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by lipid accumulation in arteries, leading to narrowing and thrombosis. It affects the heart, brain, and peripheral vessels and is the leading cause of mortality in the United States. Researchers have strived to design nanomaterials of various functions, ranging from non-invasive imaging contrast agents, targeted therapeutic delivery systems to multifunctional nanoagents able to target, diagnose, and treat atherosclerosis. Therefore, this review aims to summarize recent progress (2017-now) in the development of nanomaterials and their applications to improve atherosclerosis diagnosis and therapy during the preclinical and clinical stages of the disease.

Tumor cell-activated "Sustainable ROS Generator" with homogeneous intratumoral distribution property for improved anti-tumor therapy. Am J Cancer Res 2021; 11:379-396.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds a number of advantages for tumor therapy. However, its therapeutic efficiency is limited by non-sustainable reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and heterogeneous distribution of photosensitizer (PS) in tumor. Herein, a "Sustainable ROS Generator" (SRG) is developed for efficient antitumor therapy. Methods: SRG was prepared by encapsulating small-sized Mn3O4-Ce6 nanoparticles (MC) into dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs) and then enveloped with hyaluronic acid (HA). Due to the high concentration of HAase in tumor tissue, the small-sized MC could be released from DMSNs and homogeneously distributed in whole tumor. Then, the released MC would be uptaken by tumor cells and degraded by high levels of intracellular glutathione (GSH), disrupting intracellular redox homeostasis. More importantly, the released Ce6 could efficiently generate singlet oxygen (1O2) under laser irradiation until the tissue oxygen was exhausted, and the manganese ion (Mn2+) generated by degraded MC would then convert the low toxic by-product (H2O2) of PDT to the most harmful ROS (·OH) for sustainable and recyclable ROS generation. Results: MC could be homogeneously distributed in whole tumor and significantly reduced the level of intracellular GSH. At 2 h after PDT, obvious intracellular ROS production was still observed. Moreover, during oxygen recovery in tumor tissue, ·OH could be continuously produced, and the nanosystem could induce 82% of cell death comparing with 30% of cell death induced by free Ce6. For in vivo PDT, SRG achieved a complete inhibition on tumor growth. Conclusion: Based on these findings, we conclude that the designed SRG could induce sustainable ROS generation, homogeneous intratumoral distribution and intracellular redox homeostasis disruption, presenting an efficient strategy for enhanced ROS-mediated anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Tumors are complex and highly variable, making it difficult for a single treatment strategy to be significantly effective for cancer therapy. Herein, we report a robust cascade biomimetic nanoplatform that integrates chemiluminescence-induced photodynamic therapy (CL-PDT), Fenton reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and glucose oxidase (GOD)-mediated starvation therapy to synergistically enhance cancer treatment. For the nanoplatform of CPPO@porphyrin-MOF@Cancer cell membrane-GOD (C1@M@C2G), the ferric ion-linked porphyrin-MOF can trigger a Fenton reaction to reach CDT, the carried CPPO as an energy donor is used to excite a photo-sensitive porphyrin-MOF in situ to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) for PDT, GOD catalyzes glucose into H2O2 and gluconic acid to realize starvation therapy, and the cancer cell membrane wrapped onto the nanoparticle plays a key role in homologous targeting, which is conducive to achieving better therapeutic effects. Significantly, the porphyrin-MOF with catalase-like activity can generate O2 to effectively relieve tumor hypoxia, thereby enhancing the catalytic effect of GOD and the efficacy of PDT. Additionally, the produced H2O2 and gluconic acid can further improve the CPPO-H2O2-triggered CL-PDT and promote the low pH-dependence Fenton reaction-based CDT, respectively. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that the constructed nanoplatform displays an excellent cooperative anti-tumor performance, so we firmly believe that this simple nanoplatform broadens the pathway to fight against cancer through effective cascade catalysis.
