Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a promising approach to cancer treatment, which can break the intracellular redox state balance and result in severe oxidative damage to biomolecules and organelles with the advantages of being less dependent on external stimulation, having deep tissue-healing abilities, and being resistant to drug resistance. There is considerable interest in developing CDT drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity. In this study, a new guanidinium-based biological metal covalent organic framework (Bio-MCOF), GZHMU-1@Mo, is rationally designed and synthesized as a multifunctional nanocatalyst in tumor cells for enhanced CDT. The DFT calculation and experimental results showed that due to the ability of MoO42- ion to promote electron transfer and increase the redox active site, Cu3 clusters and MoO42- ions in GZHMU-1@Mo can synergistically catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from oxygen and H2O2 in tumor cells, as well as degrade intracellular reducing substances, GSH and NADH, so as to disrupt the redox balance in tumor cells. Moreover, GZHMU-1@Mo exhibits a potent killing effect on tumor cells under both normal oxygen and anaerobic conditions. Further in vitro and in vivo antiproliferation studies revealed that the GZHMU-1@Mo nanoagent displays a remarkable antiproliferation effect and effectively inhibits tumor growth. Taken together, our study provides an insightful reference benchmark for the rational design of Bio-MCOF-based nanoagents with efficient CDT.

Abstract
As a typical chronic inflammatory joint disease with swelling and pain syndromes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is closely related to articular lubrication deficiency and excessive proinflammatory cytokines in its progression and pathogenesis. Herein, inspired by the dual effects of joint lubrication improvement and anti-inflammation to treat RA, two novel potential therapeutic nanoagents have been developed rationally by employing herbal medicine-derived carbon quantum dots (CQDs), i.e., safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) CQDs and Angelica sinensis CQDs, yielding ultrahigh lubrication and anti-inflammation bioefficacy. In vitro experimental results show that the two nanoagents display excellent friction reduction due to their good water solubility and spherical structure. Using RA rat models, it is indicated that the nanoagents significantly relieved swelling symptoms and inhibited the expression of related inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α, indicating their extraordinary anti-inflammation bioefficacy. Thus, combining the lubricating and anti-inflammation bioefficacy of CQDs derived from herbal medicine is an attractive strategy to develop new nanoagents for RA treatment.

Abstract
The low antitumor efficiency and unexpected thermo-tolerance activation of mild-temperature photothermal therapy (mPTT) severely impede the therapeutic efficacy, thereby the implementation of reasonable mPTT procedure to improve antitumor efficiency is of great significance for clinical transformation. Herein, a rhythm mPTT with organic photothermal nanoparticles (PBDB-T NPs) is demonstrated, synergistically increasing tumor elimination and intense immunogenic cancer cell death (ICD) to elicit tumor-specific immune responses for tumor treatment. Specifically, PBDB-T NPs are characterized by favorable biocompatibility, excellent and controllable photothermal properties, exhibit the properties of noninvasive diagnostic imaging, and effective mPTT against oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Encouragingly, a temperature-dependent release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) is discovered during the mPTT-induced ICD. Meanwhile, orchestrated rhythm mPTT referring to radiotherapy procedure amplifies and balances antitumor efficiency and abundant DAMPs generation to gain optimal immune activation within clinical-recommended hyperthermia temperature compared with conventional PTT. The in vitro and in vivo results show that the rhythm mPTT unites the killing effect and ICD induction, generating strong mPTT efficacy and active tumor-specific adaptive immune responses. The study offers a promising strategy and a new opportunity for the clinical application of mPTT.

Abstract
Mother-to-child transmission of viruses and bacteria increases the risk of miscarriage and various diseases in children. Such transmissions can result in infections and diseases in infants or the induction of an inflammatory immune response through the placenta. Recently, we developed a silicon (Si)-based hydrogen-producing nanoagent (Si-based agent) that continuously and effectively produces hydrogen in the body. Since medical hydrogen has antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and antiapoptotic effects, we investigated the effects of our Si-based agent on mother-to-child transmission, with a focus on the rate of miscarriage. In pregnant mice fed a diet containing the Si-based agent, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced miscarriage due to mother-to-child transmission was reduced and inflammation and neutrophil infiltration in the placenta were suppressed. We also found that the Si-based agent suppressed IL-6 expression in the placenta and induced the expression of antioxidant and antiapoptotic genes, such as Hmox1 and Ptgs2. The observed anti-inflammatory effects of the Si-based agent suggest that it may be an effective preventative or therapeutic drug for miscarriage or threatened miscarriage during pregnancy by suppressing maternal inflammation caused by bacterial and viral infections.

Abstract
A theranostic nanoagent exhibits great promise to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapy efficacy. Herein, a kind of theranostic nanoagent based on poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)-protected ultrasmall Cu1.2O nanoparticles (Cu1.2O NPs) is developed by a facile liquid reduction method. Attributed to high near-infrared absorbance and good biocompatibility, Cu1.2O NPs have shown significant potential for photothermal therapy. Moreover, Cu1.2O NPs with a satisfactory T1 relaxivity coefficient (r1) can be well applied as outstanding MRI contrast agents and exhibit excellent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ability. In vivo treatments further demonstrate that Cu1.2O NPs could be well used as multifunctional theranostic nanoagents, which achieve precise MRI and a high photothermal antitumor effect. It is expected to further promote the research and application of copper-based nanoparticles as theranostic nanoagents for cancer therapy.

Abstract
2D cell cultures are commonly used to rapidly evaluate the therapeutic potential of various treatments on living cells. However, the effects of the extracellular matrix (ECM) including the 3D arrangement of cells and the complex physiology of native environment are missing, which makes these models far from in vivo conditions. 3D cell models have emerged in preclinical studies to simulate the impact of the ECM and partially bridge the gap between monolayer cultures and in vivo tissues. To date, the difficulty to handle the existing 3D models, the cost of their production and their poor reproducibility have hindered their use. Here, we present a reproducible and commercially available "3D cell collagen-based model" (3D-CCM) that allows to study the influence of the matrix on nanoagent uptake and radiation effects. The cell density in these samples is homogeneous. The oxygen concentration in the 3D-CCM is tunable, which opens the opportunity to investigate hypoxic effects. In addition, thanks to the intrinsic properties of the collagen, the second harmonic imaging microscopy may be used to probe the whole volume and visualize living cells in real-time. Thus, the architecture and composition of 3D-CCMs as well as the impact of various therapeutic strategies on cells embedded in the ECM is observed directly. Moreover, the disaggregation of the collagen matrix allows recovering of cells without damaging them. It is a major advantage that makes possible single cell analysis and quantification of treatment effects using clonogenic assay. In this work, 3D-CCMs were used to evaluate the correlative efficacies of nanodrug exposure and medical radiation on cells contained in a tumor like sample. A comparison with monolayer cell cultures was performed showing the advantageous outcome and the higher potential of 3D-CCMs. This cheap and easy to handle approach is more ethical than in vivo experiments, thus, giving a fast evaluation of cellular responses to various treatments.

Abstract
Various organic nanoagents have been developed for photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. Among them, small molecule-based nanoagents are very attractive due to their advantages of well-defined chemical structures, high purity, good reproducibility, and easy processability. However, only a few small molecule-based nanoagents have been developed for PDT under NIR irradiation. Moreover, the mechanism of PDT under NIR is still elusive. Herein, a semiconducting small molecule (BTA) with donor-acceptor-donor structure and twisted conformation is developed for PDT/PTT under NIR irradiation. A large π-conjugated electron-deficient unit is used as the core to couple with two electron-donating units, ensuring the strong absorption under 808 nm. Moreover, the donor-acceptor structures and twisted conformation can reduce the energy gap between the singlet and triplet states (∆EST ) to afford effective intersystem crossing, beneficial for reactive oxygen species generation. The mechanism is probed by experimental and theoretical evidence. Moreover, the BTA nanoparticles exhibit excellent biocompatibility and PTT/PDT in vitro performance under NIR irradiation. This provides a strategy for designing highly efficient PDT/PTT molecular materials.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the root of approximately one-third of global mortalities. Nanotechnology exhibits splendid prospects to combat atherosclerosis at the molecular level by engineering smart nanoagents with versatile functionalizations. Significant advances in nanoengineering enable nanoagents to autonomously navigate in the bloodstream, escape from biological barriers, and assemble with their nanocohort at the targeted lesion. The assembly of nanoagents with endogenous and exogenous stimuli breaks down their shells, facilitates intracellular delivery, releases their cargo to kill the corrupt cells, and gives imaging reports. All these improvements pave the way toward personalized medicine for atherosclerosis. This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in stimuli-responsive nanoagents for atherosclerosis management and its progress in clinical trials.

Abstract
The exploitation of smart nanoagents based drug delivery systems (DDSs) has proven to be a promising strategy for fighting cancers. Hitherto, such nanoagents still face challenges associated with their complicated synthesis, insufficient drug release in tumors, and low cancer cell chemosensitivity. Here, the engineering of an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-activatable nanoagent is demonstrated based on self-assembled quantum dots-phenolic nanoclusters to circumvent such challenges. The smart nanoagent constructed through a one-step assembly not only has high drug loading and low cytotoxicity to normal cells, but also enables ATP-activated disassembly and controlled drug delivery in cancer cells. Particularly, the nanoagent can induce cell ATP depletion and increase cell chemosensitivity for significantly enhanced cancer chemotherapy. Systematic in vitro and in vivo studies further reveal the capabilities of the nanoagent for intracellular ATP imaging, high tumor accumulation, and eventual body clearance. As a result, the presented multifunctional smart nanoagent shows enhanced antitumor efficacy by simultaneous ATP-responsive chemodrug release and cancer cell sensitization. These findings offer new insights toward the design of smart nanoagents for improved cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Porphyrinic molecules have a unique theranostic role in disease therapy; they have been used to image, detect and treat different forms of diseased tissue including age-related macular degeneration and a number of different cancer types. Current focus is on the clinical imaging of tumour tissue; targeted delivery of photosensitisers and the potential of photosensitisers in multimodal biomedical theranostic nanoplatforms. The roles of porphyrinic molecules in imaging and pdt, along with research into improving their selective uptake in diseased tissue and their utility in theranostic applications are highlighted in this Review.
