Abstract
Conventionally obtained silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) generally suffer from the disadvantages of a cumbersome preparation process, large fluctuation in the quality of Si QDs, poor water solubility, and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) phenomenon. Here we report a facile one-pot strategy to synthesize a novel Si QDs-based fluorescent nanomaterial in which Si QDs are confined into dendritic mesoporous silica, named as SiQDs@DMSNs. The prepared SiQDs@DMSNs, with adjustable particle sizes ranging from 140 to 300 nm, emit blue fluorescence around 410 nm upon excitation by ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 300 nm. It is found that the addition of sodium salicylate (NaSAL) plays a crucial role in the in situ generation of Si QDs. The obtained SiQDs@DMSNs exhibit excellent fluorescence intensity, water solubility, and stability, facilitating easy surface modification, without being limited by the ACQ phenomenon. It is expected to be widely used in many fields such as biosensors, nanomedicines, in vivo imaging, fingerprint identification, and anticounterfeiting labels.

Abstract
Carbon-based quantum dots (CQDs) have been shown to have promising application value in tumor diagnosis. Their use, however, is severely hindered by the complicated nature of the nanostructures in the CQDs. Furthermore, it seems impossible to formulate the mechanisms involved using the inadequate theoretical frameworks that are currently available for CQDs. In this review, we re-consider the structure-property relationships of CQDs and summarize the current state of development of CQDs-based tumor diagnosis based on biological theories that are fully developed. The advantages and deficiencies of recent research on CQDs-based tumor diagnosis are thus explained in terms of the manifestation of nine essential changes in cell physiology. This review makes significant progress in addressing related problems encountered with other nanomaterials.

Abstract
Regarding the convergence of the worldwide epidemic, the appearance of bacterial infection has occasioned in a melodramatic upsurge in bacterial pathogens with confrontation against one or numerous antibiotics. The implementation of engineered nanostructured particles as a delivery vehicle for antimicrobial agent is one promising approach that could theoretically battle the setbacks mentioned. Among all nanoparticles, silica nanoparticles have been found to provide functional features that are advantageous for combatting bacterial contagion. Apart from that, carbon dots, a zero-dimension nanomaterial, have recently exhibited their photo-responsive property to generate reactive oxygen species facilitating to enhance microorganism suppression and inactivation ability. In this study, potentials of core/shell mesoporous silica nanostructures (MSN) in conjugation with carbon dots (CDs) toward antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli have been investigated. Nitrogen and sulfur doped CDs (NS/CDs) conjugated with MSN which were cost effective nanoparticles exhibited much superior antimicrobial activity for 4 times as much as silver nanoparticles against all bacteria tested. Among all nanoparticles tested, 0.40 M NS/CDs@MSN showed the greatest minimal biofilm inhibitory at very low concentration (< 0.125 mg mL-1), followed by 0.20 M NS/CDs@MSN (0.5 mg mL-1), CD@MSN (25 mg mL-1), and MSN (50 mg mL-1), respectively. Immobilization of NS/CDs@MSN in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel was performed and its effect on antimicrobial activity, biofilm controlling efficiency, and cytotoxicity toward fibroblast (NIH/3 T3 and L-929) cells was additionally studied for further biomedical applications. The results demonstrated that 0.40 M NS/CDs-MSN@PVA hydrogel exhibited the highest inhibitory effect on S. aureus > P. aeruginosa > E. coli. In addition, MTT assay revealed some degree of toxicity of 0.40 M NS/CDs-MSN@PVA hydrogel against L-929 cells by a slight reduction of cell viability from 100% to 81.6% when incubated in the extract from 0.40 M NS/CDs-MSN@PVA hydrogel, while no toxicity of the same hydrogel extract was detected toward NIH/3 T3 cells.

Abstract
Metabolic incorporation of unnatural functionality on glycans has allowed chemical biologists to observe and affect cellular processes. Recent work has resulted in glycan-fluorophore structures that allow for direct visualization of glycan-mediated processes, shining light on their role in living systems. This work describes the serendipitous discovery of a small chemical reporter-fluorophore. Investigations into the mechanism of fluorescence arising from (trimethylsilyl)methylglycine appended on mannosamine suggest rigidity and restriction of lone pair geometry contribute to the fluorescent behaviour. In fact, in situ cyclization and encapsulation in cucurbit[7]uril enhance fluorescence to levels that can be observed in live cells. While the reported unnatural mannosamine does not traverse the sialic acid biosynthetic pathway, this discovery may lead to small, "turn-on" chemical reporters for incorporation in living systems.

(Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) Mortality and Detoxification Enzyme Levels Activities. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23105790.

Abstract
The diamond back moth, Plutella xylostella, causes severe damage at all crop stages, beside its rising resistance to all insecticides. The objective of this study was to look for a new control strategy such as application of insecticide-loaded carbon dot-embedded fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles (FL-SiO2 NPs). Two different-sized methoxyfenozide-loaded nanoparticles (Me@FL-SiO2 NPs-70 nm, Me@FL-SiO2 NPs-150 nm) were prepared, with loading content 15% and 16%. Methoxyfenozide was released constantly from Me@FL-SiO2 NPs only at specific optimum pH 7.5. The release of methoxyfenozide from Me@FL-SiO2 NPs was not observed other than this optimum pH, and therefore, we checked and controlled a single release condition to look out for the different particle sizes of insecticide-loaded NPs. This pH-responsive release pattern can find potential application in sustainable plant protection. Moreover, the lethal concentration of the LC50 value was 24 mg/L for methoxyfenozide (TC), 14 mg/L for Me@FL-SiO2 NPs-70 nm, and 15 mg/L for Me@FL-SiO2 NPs-150 nm after 72 h exposure, respectively. After calculating the LC50, the results predicted that Me@FL-SiO2 NPs-70 nm and Me@FL-SiO2 NPs-150 nm exhibited better insecticidal activity against P. xylostella than methoxyfenozide under the same concentrations of active ingredient applied. Moreover, the activities of detoxification enzymes of P. xylostella were suppressed by treatment with insecticide-loaded NPs, which showed that NPs could also be involved in reduction of enzymes. Furthermore, the entering of FL-SiO2 NPs into the midgut of P. xylostella was confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). For comparison, P. xylostella under treatment with water as control was also observed under CLSM. The control exhibited no fluorescent signal, while the larvae treated with FL-SiO2 NPs showed strong fluorescence under a laser excitation wavelength of 448 nm. The reduced enzyme activities as well as higher cuticular penetration in insects indicate that the nano-based delivery system of insecticide could be potentially applied in insecticide resistance management.

Abstract
Paramagnetic complexes containing gadolinium ions have been widely used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinic. However, these paramagnetic complexes pose some safety concerns. There is still a demand for the development of stable MRI contrast agents that exhibit higher sensitivity and superior functionality to existing contrast agents. Here, we develop carbonized paramagnetic complexes of manganese (II) (Mn@CCs) to encapsulate Mn2+ in sealed carbonized shells with superhigh r1 relaxivity. Compared to the most common clinical contrast agent Magnevist, investigations in vivo demonstrate that the Mn@CCs cross the intact blood-brain barrier of normal health mice with minor metal deposition; preferentially target the glioma tissues distribute homogeneously with high penetration in an intracranial mouse model; delineate clear tumor margins in MRIs of ultrasmall single-nodule brain tumors, and multi-nodular liver tumors. The sensitivity, accuracy and low toxicity offer by Mn@CCs provides new opportunities for early molecular diagnostics and imaging-guided biomedical applications.

Abstract
We present a single-step, room-temperature synthesis of fluorescent organosilica nanobeads (FOS NBs). The FOS NBs were synthesized under aqueous conditions using (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) as the silicon source in the presence of L-ascorbic acid (L-AA). In the APTES/L-AA/water ternary phase, the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of APTES occurred under acidic conditions to form spherical FOS NBs with an average diameter of 426.8 nm. FOS NBs exhibit excellent colloidal stability in aqueous media. The formation of FOS NBs was complete within a 10 min reaction time, which indicates potential for large-scale mass-production synthesis of luminescent colloidal NBs. The FOS NBs exhibited blue photoluminescence (PL) under UV excitation in the absence of an additional high temperature calcination process or with the incorporation of any fluorophores. This phenomenon is attributed to the presence of carbon-containing defects, which act as luminescent centers formed by the reaction between amino groups in the APTES and L-ascorbic acid reductant. Finally, the results of a cytotoxicity test and cellular uptake experiments revealed that the FOS NBs showed potential as optical contrast agents for bioimaging.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica shells were formed on nonporous spherical silica cores during the sol-gel reaction to elucidate the mechanism for the generation of secondary particles that disturb the efficient growth of mesoporous shells on the cores. Sodium bromide (NaBr) was used as a typical electrolyte for the sol-gel reaction to increase the ionic strength of the reactant solution, which effectively suppressed the generation of secondary particles during the reaction wherein a uniform mesoporous shell was formed on the spherical core. The number of secondary particles (N 2nd) generated at an ethanol/water weight ratio of 0.53 was plotted against the Debye-Hückel parameter κ to quantitatively understand the Debye screening effect on secondary particle generation. Parameter κa, where a is the average radius of the secondary particles finally obtained in the silica coating, expresses the trend in N 2nd at different concentrations of ammonia and NaBr. N 2nd was much lower than that expected theoretically from the variation of secondary particle sizes at a constant Debye-Hückel parameter. A similar correlation with κa was observed at the high and low ethanol/water weight ratios of 0.63 and 0.53, respectively, with different hydrolysis rate constants. The good correlation between N 2nd and κa revealed that controlling the ionic strength of the silica coating is an effective approach to suppress the generation of secondary particles for designing mesoporous shells with thicknesses appropriate for their application as high-performance liquid chromatography column packing materials.

Abstract
The efficient and safe delivery of therapeutic drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids are essential for meaningful therapeutic benefits. The field of nanomedicine shows promising implications in the development of therapeutics by delivering diagnostic and therapeutic compounds. Nanomedicine development has led to significant advances in the design and engineering of nanocarrier systems with supra-molecular structures. Smart mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), with excellent biocompatibility, tunable physicochemical properties, and site-specific functionalization, offer efficient and high loading capacity as well as robust and targeted delivery of a variety of payloads in a controlled fashion. Such unique nanocarriers should have great potential for challenging biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, bioimaging techniques, stem cell research, and cancer therapies. However, in vivo applications of these nanocarriers should be further validated before clinical translation. To this end, this review begins with a brief introduction of MSNs properties, targeted drug delivery, and controlled release with a particular emphasis on their most recent diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
When applied to skin, particulate matter has been shown to accumulate in hair follicles. In addition to follicles, the skin topography also incorporates trench-like furrows where particles potentially can accumulate; however, the furrows have not been as thoroughly investigated in a drug delivery perspective. Depending on body site, the combined follicle orifices cover up to 10% of the skin surface, while furrows can easily cover 20%, reaching depths exceeding 25 µm. Hence, porous particles of appropriate size and porosity could serve as carriers for drugs to be released in the follicles prior to local or systemic absorption. In this paper, we combine multiphoton microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Franz cell diffusion technology to investigate ex-vivo skin accumulation of mesoporous silica particles (average size of 400-600 nm, 2, and 7 µm, respectively), and the potential of which as vehicles for topical delivery of the broad-spectrum antibiotic metronidazole. We detected smaller particles (400-600 nm) in furrows at depths of about 25 µm, also after rinsing, while larger particles (7 µm) where located more superficially on the skin. This implies that appropriately sized porous particles may serve as valuable excipients in optimizing bioavailability of topical formulations. This work highlights the potential of skin furrows for topical drug delivery.

Indoxacarb-loaded fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles for effective control of Plutella xylostella L. with decreased detoxification enzymes activities. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2020; 76:3749-3758.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plutella xylostella L. is a cosmopolitan lepidopteron insect pest for numerous vegetables and crops. The extensive use of insecticides has resulted in the emergence of resistance in P. xylostella. Thus, development of innovative strategies to overcome the insecticide resistance and control P. xylostella effectively is highly desirable. Inspired by the concept and breakthrough of nanomedical strategies to treat multidrug resistance, nanotechnology may find potential application in overcoming or delaying insecticide resistance. RESULTS Carbon dots-embedded fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles (FL-SiO2 NPs) were successfully developed. Indoxacarb-loaded nanoparticles (IN@FL-SiO2 NPs) were facilely prepared with loading content of 24%. The release of indoxacarb from IN@FL-SiO2 NPs was pH sensitive. IN@FL-SiO2 NPs exhibited better insecticidal activity against P. xylostella than indoxacarb technical under the same doses of active ingredient applied. Moreover, the activities of detoxification enzymes including GST, CarE, and P450 of P. xylostella were suppressed by treatment with IN@FL-SiO2 NPs. Furthermore, the entry of FL-SiO2 NPs into the midgut of P. xylostella was confirmed by CLSM observation. CONCLUSIONS Although there is no absolute correlation between the enzyme activity and resistance, the change in corresponding enzyme activity can afford valuable information on the resistance situation. IN@FL-SiO2 NPs treated P. xylostella displayed higher mortality, along with decreased enzymes activities, which indicates that nano-based delivery system of insecticide could be potentially applied in insecticide resistance management. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A biomedical contrast agent serves to enhance the visualisation of a specific (potentially targeted) physiological region. In recent years, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have developed as a flexible imaging platform of tuneable size/morphology, abundant surface chemistry, biocompatibility and otherwise useful physiochemical properties. This review discusses MSN structural types and synthetic strategies, as well as methods for surface functionalisation. Recent applications in biomedical imaging are then discussed, with a specific emphasis on magnetic resonance and optical modes together with utility in multimodal imaging.

Abstract
Despite the advantages of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) in drug delivery, the inherent non-biodegradability seriously impedes the clinical translation of inorganic MSNs, so the current research focus has been turned to mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs) with higher biocompatibility and easier biodegradability. Recent remarkable advances in silica fabrication chemistry have catalyzed the emergence of a library of MONs with various structures and functions. This review will summarize the latest state-of-the-art studies on the precise control of morphology, structure, framework, particle size and pore size of MONs, which enables the precise synthesis of MONs with suitable engineering for precision stimuli-responsive drug delivery/release, bioimaging and synergistic therapy. Besides, the potential challenges about the future development of MONs are also outlooked with the intention of attracting more researchers to promote the clinical translation of MONs.

Abstract
Luminescent materials are of worldwide interest because of their unique optical properties. Silica, which is transparent to light, is an ideal matrix for luminescent materials. Luminescent silica nanoparticles (LSNs) have broad applications because of their enhanced chemical and thermal stability. Silica spheres of various sizes could be synthesized by different methods to satisfy specific requirements. Diverse luminescent dyes have potential for different applications. Subject to many factors such as quenchers, their performance was not quite satisfying. This review thus discusses the development of LSNs including their classification, synthesis, and application. It is the highlight that how silica improves the properties of luminescent dye and what role silica plays in the system. Further, their applications in biology, display, and sensors are also described.

Abstract
In this work, a novel method based on aptamers is proposed for electrochemical measurement of lysozyme. To this end, screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was modified with a nanocomposite made from amino-reduced graphene oxide (Amino-rGO) synthesized from natural graphite powder, an ionic liquid (IL), and amino-mesosilica nanoparticles (Amino-MSNs). The composition of the nanocomposite (Amino-rGO/IL/Amino-MSNs) results in high thermal and chemical stability, conductivity, surface-to-volume ratio, cost efficiency, biocompatibility, and great bioelectrocatalysis characteristics. Presence of numerous amino groups, as well as remaining oxygen defects in rGO, provides a suitable site for immobilization of aptamers. Furthermore, use of this nanocomposite leads to considerable enhancement of the electrochemical signal and improved method sensitivity. Covalent coupling of aptamer's amino groups with that of the nanocomposite using glutaraldehyde (GLA) as a linker helps immobilize amino-linked lysozyme aptamers (Anti-Lys aptamers) on nanocomposite. The modified electrode was characterized using electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The immobilized aptamer selectively adsorbs lysozyme (Lys) on the electrode interface, leading to increased Charge Transfer Resistance (RCT) in EIS and decrease in the DPV peak currents which are used as analytical signals. Two separate calibration curves were drawn using the data acquired from EIS and DPV. The prepared anti-Lys aptasensor has two very low LODs equal to 2.1 and 4.2 fmol L-1 with wide detection ranges of 10 fmol L-1 to 200 nmol L-1, and 20 fmol L-1 to 50 nmol L-1 for EIS and DPV calibration curves, respectively. The SPCE/Amino-rGO/IL/Amino-MSNs/APT also showed high reproducibility, specificity, sensitivity, and rapid response to Lys which has various applications in fields of bioengineering and biomedicine.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles prepared by organic template-driven synthesis have been successfully explored as carriers of the drug-derivate green luminescent complex of terbium (III) with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen. The terbium (III) complex was synthesized by reacting ketoprofen sodium salt with terbium (III) chloride, which was further adsorbed onto the surface of mesoporous nanoparticles with a mean particle size of 47 ± 4 nm and pore size of 11 nm. The incorporation of the complex into mesoporous silica nanoparticles was tracked by the decrease in the surface area and pore size of the nanoparticles, and successfully demonstrated by substantial changes in the adsorption isotherms and thermal and vibrational spectroscopy results. The cytotoxicity assay and confocal microscopy have shown that the novel luminescent nanohybrid presents high cell viability and the characteristic terbium (III) emission can be assessed through two-photon excitation, which paves the way for bioimaging applications in nanomedicine.

Abstract
With biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high functionality, silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have been widely investigated for various biomedical applications. However, lack of optical fluorescence has limited the application of SNPs as a degradable imaging agent. Here, we hydrothermally synthesized fluorescent SNPs by artificially generating optically active defect centers using tetraethyl orthosilicate and (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane. The synthesized SNPs demonstrated strong blue photoluminescence originating from the dioxasilyrane (=Si(O2)) and silylene (=Si:) defect centers with the aid of aminopropyl groups. Furthermore, phosphorescence was observed at 459 nm, indicating the presence of silylene in SNPs. Finally, these SNPs have been successfully utilized as a fluorescent probe for bioimaging of normal, cancer, and macrophage cells.

Abstract
Herein we report on a novel inorganic peroxidase-mimicking nanocatalyst activated under blue LED photoirradiation. A novel flash-pyrolysis method has been developed for the generation of strong blue photoluminescence (PL) centers attributed to silicon and carbon-based sites within a mesoporous SBA-15 silica nanorod platform. The type of centers and their PL response can be controlled by varying the flash thermal treatment conditions. By tailoring the operating conditions the system can be driven towards the preferential generation of carbon-based luminescent centers, with or without the simultaneous generation of silicon-based centers. The properties and the nature of these luminescent centers within the mesoporous nanorods have been thoroughly corroborated by a battery of characterization techniques including fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) at the local level of the structures combined with scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging. In addition, these luminescent mesoporous nanorods have been successfully tested as robust photocatalysts able to display peroxidase-like activity and indirect glucose sensing in a wider range of pH conditions compared to the natural enzyme, especially when carbogenic dots and oxygen-deficient silica centers are simultaneously present in the structure.

Abstract
Large surface area, uniform and tunable pore size, high pore volume and low mass density- such attractive features of Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have compelled researchers to explore the biomedical potential of this nano-material. Recently gained interest in MSNPs have been due to their tremendous potential in cancer therapy and imaging. Last several years have witnessed a rapid development in engineering functionalized MSNPs with various types of functional groups integrated into the system for imaging and therapeutic applications. Although their potential for drug delivery application has been studied since the year 2000, still a major challenge is to improve drug loading capacity and in vivo targeting with minimal side-effects to major organs. In this review article, the recent development of MSNPs as a therapeutic and diagnostic platform has been detailed out with emphasis on drug and bio-macromolecule delivery/co-delivery, bio-imaging and detoxification.

Abstract
The synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid particles with highly controlled particle sizes in the micrometer range is a major challenge in many areas of research. Conventional methods are limited for nanometer-scale fabrication because of the difficulty in controlling the size. In this study, we present a microfluidic method for the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid microparticles with poly (1,10-decanediol dimethacrylate-co-trimethoxysillyl propyl methacrylate) (P (DDMA-co-TPM)) as the core and silica nanoparticles as the shell. In this approach, the droplet-based microfluidic method combined with in situ photopolymerization produces highly monodisperse organic microparticles of P (DDMA-co-TPM) in a simple manner, and the silica nanoparticles gradually grow on the surface of the microparticles prepared via hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in a basic ammonium hydroxide medium without additional surface treatment. This approach leads to a reduction in the number of processes and allows drastically improved size uniformity compared to conventional methods. The morphology, composition, and structure of the hybrid microparticles are analyzed by SEM, TEM, FT-IR, EDS, and XPS, respectively. The results indicate the inorganic shell of the hybrid particles consists of SiO2 nanoparticles of approximately 60 nm. Finally, we experimentally describe the formation mechanism of a silica-coating layer on the organic surface of polymeric core particles.

Abstract
Recent progress in the development of silica- and silicon-based multimodality imaging nanoprobes has advanced their use in image-guided drug delivery, and the development of novel systems for nanotheranostic and diagnostic applications. As biocompatible and flexibly tunable materials, silica and silicon provide excellent platforms with high clinical potential in nanotheranostic and diagnostic probes with well-defined morphology and surface chemistry, yielding multifunctional properties. In vivo imaging is of great value in the exploration of methods for improving site-specific nanotherapeutic delivery by silica- and silicon-based drug-delivery systems. Multimodality approaches are essential for understanding the biological interactions of nanotherapeutics in the physiological environment in vivo. The aim here is to describe recent advances in the development of in vivo imaging tools based on nanostructured silica and silicon, and their applications in single and multimodality imaging.

Abstract
The integrins αvβ3 play a very imperative role in angiogenesis and are overexpressed in endothelial cells of the tumour. Recent years have witnessed huge exploration in the field of αvβ3 integrin-mediated bioactive targeting for treatment of cancer. In these studies, the cRGD peptide has been employed extensively owing to their binding capacity to the αvβ3 integrin. Principally, RGD-based approaches comprise of antagonist molecules of the RGD sequence, drug-RGD conjugates, and most importantly tethering of the nanocarrier surface with the RGD peptide as targeting ligand. Targeting tumour vasculature or cells via cRGD conjugated nanocarriers have emerged as a promising technique for delivering chemotherapeutic drugs and imaging agents for cancer theranostics. In this review, primary emphasis has been given on the application of cRGD-anchored nanocarriers for targeted delivery of drugs, imaging agents, etc. for tumour therapy.

Abstract
The label-free cell-based assay is advantageous for biochemical study because of it does not require the use of experimental animals. Due to its ability to provide more dynamic information about cells under physiological conditions than classical biochemical assays, this label-free real-time cell assay based on the electric impedance principle is attracting more attention during the past decade. However, its practical utilization may be limited due to the relatively expensive cost of measurement, in which costly consumable disposable gold microchips are used for the cell analyzer. In this protocol, we have developed a general strategy to regenerate arrayed gold microelectrodes equipped for a commercial label-free cell analyzer. The regeneration process includes trypsin digestion, rinsing with ethanol and water, and a spinning step. The proposed method has been tested and shown to be effective for the regeneration and repeated usage of commercial electronic plates at least three times, which will help researchers save on the high running cost of real-time cell assays.

Abstract
Integration of nanotechnology and biomedicine has offered great opportunities for the development of nanoscaled therapeutic platforms. Amongst various nanocarriers, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) is one of the most developed and promising inorganic materials-based drug delivery system for clinical translations due to their simple composition and nanoporous structure. MSNs possess unique structural features, for example, well-defined morphology, large surface areas, uniform size, controllable structure, flexible pore volume, tunable pore sizes, extraordinarily high loading efficiency, and excellent biocompatibility. Progress in structure control and functionalization may endow MSNs with functionalities that enable medical applications of these integrated nanoparticles such as molecularly targeted drug delivery, multicomponent synergistic therapy, in vivo imaging and therapeutic capability, on-demand/stimuli-responsive drug release, etc. In this chapter, the authors overview MSNs' characteristics and the scientific efforts developed till date involving drug delivery and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Amino-terminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles embedding carbon dots (MSCD) formed by calcination were functionalized with a nitric oxide (NO) photodonor (1) to give a robust MSCD-1 conjugate. The intense fluorescence of MSCDs was strongly quenched in MSCD-1 by effective energy transfer. Visible light excitation of MSCD-1 liberates NO, suppresses the energy transfer mechanism and leads to concomitant fluorescence restoration of the MSCD scaffold, which acts as an optical reporter for the released NO. The MSCD-1 hybrid is also able to encapsulate the highly hydrophobic photosensitizer temoporfin, preserving the fluorescence reporting function.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanocarrier-based theranostics is currently considered to solve some key unmet challenges in cancer treatment. Here we report a nanocarrier platform, named carbon dot (CD) created mesoporous hollow organosilica (C-hMOS) nanoparticles, to deliver anticancer drug and to enable optical imaging. The hollow structure was formed by the removal of a nanorod core template, and at the same time, the fluorescent signal was endowed from the heat-treated organosilica network. Thanks to the hollow and mesoporous structure, the C-hMOS effectively loaded doxorubicin (DOX) for cancer chemotherapy. The DOX was released from C-hMOS highly sustainably (over 12days) and pH-dependently (pH 5.0 >pH 7.4). The DOX-loading C-hMOS internalized cancer cells efficiently (>90%), and induced cellular apoptosis including the expression of caspase-3. The treatment of C-hMOS to cancer cells enabled multi-color visualization in vitro, suggesting the possibility of cell tracing. Moreover, when injected intratumorally in mice, the C-hMOS exhibited strong optical signals in vivo along with a high optical stability (over a week). The injected C-hMOS were distributed only a fraction in liver but not in heart, lung, spleen or kidney and displayed good biocompatibility. The DOX-delivering C-hMOS significantly suppressed the in vivo tumor growth associated with apoptotic functions. Taken together, the developed C-hMOS nanoparticles can be a promising nanoplatform for drug delivery and in vivo imaging in cancer treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Multifunctional nanoparticles that combine chemotherapeutic ability with imaging modality comprise promising platform for cancer theranostics. Here we developed a novel theranostic nanoparticle, i.e., carbon-dot created mesoporous hollow silica nanoparticle, to offer unique merit for this purpose. The in vitro and in vivo findings to support this include: i) carbon dots with 1-2nm size in situ generated discretely and uniformly within silica network, ii) hollow and mesoporous structure effective for loading of DOX at high content, iii) release behavior of DOX in a sustainable and pH-dependent manner, iv) chemotherapeutic efficacy in killing cancer cells and suppressing tumor growth through DOX delivery, and v) carbon dot induced multi-color fluorescence imaging within cells and tumor tissues. These collective multifaceted properties may facilitate the novel carbon dot nanocarriers to be a potential candidate for delivering anticancer drug and non-invasive imaging in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Three types of new label-free fluorescent mesoporous silica micro- and nanoparticles were prepared by controlled thermal decomposition of carboamino groups linked on the surface without compromising the drug loading capacity of the silica particles. Clofazimine, a lipophilic antibiotic drug with excellent in vitro activity against mycobacterium tuberculosis, was encapsulated inside these fluorescent particles to obtain multifunctional drug carriers of interest in the field of theranostics. The morphological features together with the photophysical properties of both powders and aqueous suspensions are described. The photophysical properties seem to be independent of the mesoporosity features but correlate with the residual carboamino functionalization. The particles are endowed with emission in the visible region and have fluorescence lifetimes of up to 9.0 ns that can be easily discriminated from intrinsic biological fluorescence. Furthermore, their fluorescence lifetime offers a promising tool to follow the release of the encapsulated drug which is not possible by means of simple fluorescence intensity. We report here a novel attractive theranostic platform enabling monitoring of drug release in biological environments by means of fluorescence lifetime.

Abstract
Theranostics based on nanoparticles (NPs) is a promising paradigm in nanomedicine. Mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-based systems offer unique characteristics to enable multimodal imaging or simultaneous diagnosis and therapy. They include large surface area and volume, tunable pore size, functionalizable surface, and acceptable biological safety. Hybridization with other NPs and chemical modification can further potentiate the multifunctionality of MSN-based systems toward translation. Here, we update the recent progress on MSN-based systems for theranostic purposes. We discuss various synthetic approaches used to construct the theranostic platforms either via intrinsic chemistry or extrinsic combination. These include defect generation in the silica structure, encapsulation of diagnostic NPs within silica, their assembly on the silica surface, and direct conjugation of dye chemicals. Collectively, in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that multimodal imaging capacities can be integrated with the therapeutic functions of these MSN systems for therapy. With further improvement in bioimaging sensitivity and targeting specificity, the multifunctional MSN-based theranostic systems will find many clinical applications in the near future.

Abstract
Biocompatible nanomaterials that allow for labeling cells and tissues with the capacity to load and deliver drug molecules hold great promise for the therapeutic-diagnostic purposes in tissue repair and disease cure. Here a novel nanoplatform, called C-dot bioactive organosilica nanosphere (C-BON), is introduced to have excellent theranostic potential, such as controlled drug delivery, visible-light imaging, and NIR photothermal activity. C-dots with a few nanometers were in situ generated in the Ca-containing organosilica mesoporous nanospheres through the sol-gel and thermal-treatment processes. The C-BON exhibited multicolor luminescence over a wide visible-light range with strong emissions and high photostability over time and against acidity and the possible in vivo optical imaging capacity when injected in rat subcutaneous tissues. Moreover, the C-BON showed a photothermal heating effect upon the irradiation of near-infrared. The C-BON, thanks to the high mesoporosity and existence of Ca(2+) ions, demonstrated excellent loading capacity of anticancer drug doxorubicin (as high as 90% of carrier weight) and long-term (over a couple of weeks) and pH/NIR-dependent release ability. The C-BON preserved the compositional merit of Ca-Si glass, having excellent bioactivity and cell compatibility in vitro. Taken all, the multifunctional properties of C-BON-multicolor luminescence, photothermal activity, and high drug loading and controlled release-together with its excellent bioactivity and cell compatibility potentiate the future applications in theranostics (chemotherapy and photothermal therapy with optical imaging).

Abstract
The research of integrin-targeted anticancer agents has recorded important advancements in ingenious design of delivery systems, based either on the prodrug approach, or on nanoparticle carriers, but for now, none of these has reached a clinical stage of development. Past work in this area has been extensively reviewed by us and others. Thus, the purpose and scope of the present review is to survey the advancement reported in the last 3years, with focus on innovative delivery systems that appear to afford openings for future developments. These systems exploit the labelling with conventional and novel integrin ligands for targeting the interface of cancer cells and of endothelial cells involved in cancer angiogenesis, with the proteins of the extracellular matrix, in the circulation, in tissues, and in tumour stroma, as the site of progression and metastatic evolution of the disease. Furthermore, these systems implement the expertise in the development of nanomedicines to the purpose of achieving preferential biodistribution and uptake in cancer tissues, internalisation in cancer cells, and release of the transported drugs at intracellular sites. The assessment of the value of controlling these factors, and their combination, for future developments requires support of biological testing in appropriate mechanistic models, but also imperatively demand confirmation in therapeutically relevant in vivo models for biodistribution, efficacy, and lack of off-target effects. Thus, among many studies, we have tried to point out the results supported by relevant in vivo studies, and we have emphasised in specific sections those addressing the medical needs of drug delivery to brain tumours, as well as the delivery of oligonucleotides modulating gene-dependent pathological mechanism. The latter could constitute the basis of a promising third branch in the therapeutic armamentarium against cancer, in addition to antibody-based agents and to cytotoxic agents.

Abstract
Curcumin and its derivatives; curcuminoids have been proven as potential remedies in different diseases. However, their delivery carries several challenges owing to their poor aqueous solubility, photodegradation, chemical instability, poor bioavailability and rapid metabolism. This review explores and criticizes the numerous attempts that were adopted through the years to entrap/encapsulate this valuable drug in nanocarriers aiming to reach its most appropriate and successful delivery system.
