Abstract
Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is considered one of the most dreaded forms of cancer metastases for both patients and physicians. Aggressive cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is the primary treatment for peritoneal metastasis. Unfortunately, this intensive treatment frequently causes clinical complications, such as postoperative recurrence, metastasis, and adhesion formation. Emerging evidence suggests that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) released by inflammatory neutrophils contribute to these complications. Effective NET-targeting strategies thus show considerable potential in counteracting these complications but remain challenging. Here, one type of sulfoxide-containing homopolymer, PMeSEA, with potent fouling-resistant and NET-inhibiting capabilities, is synthesized and screened. Hydrating sulfoxide groups endow PMeSEA with superior nonfouling ability, significantly inhibiting protein/cell adhesion. Besides, the polysulfoxides can be selectively oxidized by ClO- which is required to stabilize the NETs rather than H2O2, and ClO- scavenging effectively inhibits NETs formation without disturbing redox homeostasis in tumor cells and quiescent neutrophils. As a result, PMeSEA potently prevents postoperative adhesions, significantly suppresses peritoneal metastasis, and shows synergetic antitumor activity with chemotherapeutic 5-Fluorouracil. Moreover, coupling CRS with PMeSEA potently inhibits CRS-induced tumor metastatic relapse and postoperative adhesions. Notably, PMeSEA exhibits low in vivo acute and subacute toxicities, implying significant potential for clinical postoperative adjuvant treatment.

Tannic acid and zinc ion coordination of nanase for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease by promoting mucosal repair and removing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Acta Biomater 2024; 177:347-360. [PMID: 38373525 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.02.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
Colon mucosal overexpression of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) accelerates the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and destroys the mucosa and its barrier. IBD can be alleviated by removing RONS from the inflamed colon. The preparation of strong and efficient nanoantioxidants remains a challenge despite the development of numerous nanoantioxidants. In this paper, Zn-TA nanoparticles with fine hollow microstructure (HZn-TA) were successfully prepared and could be effectively used to treat IBD. In the first step, ZIF-8 nanoparticles were synthesized by a one-pot method. On this basis, HZn-TA nanoparticles were etched by TA, and a multifunctional nanase was developed for the treatment of IBD. RONS, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO), can be eliminated to increase cell survival following Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stimulation, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In a model for preventing and delaying acute colitis, clearance of RONS has been shown to reduce intestinal inflammation in mice by reducing colon damage, proinflammatory cytokine levels, the spleen index, and body weight. Intestinal mucosal healing can be promoted by HZn-TA nanoparticles, which can upregulate zonula occludens protein 1 (ZO-1) and claudin-1 expression. Based on the results of this study, HZn-TA nanoparticles were able to effectively treat IBD with minimal adverse effects by being biocompatible, multienzyme active, and capable of scavenging RONS. Therefore, we pioneered the application of HZn-TA nanoparticles for the treatment of IBD, which are capable of clearing RONS without significant adverse effects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: ➢ HZn-TA nanoparticles were successfully prepared and could be effectively used to treat IBD. ➢ Intestinal mucosal healing can be promoted by HZn-TA nanoparticles, which can upregulate ZO-1 and claudin-1 expression. ➢ HZn-TA nanoparticles were able to effectively treat IBD with minimal adverse effects by being biocompatible, multienzyme active, and capable of scavenging RONS.

Abstract
Dissolvable polymeric microneedles (DPMNs) have emerged as a powerful technology for the localized treatment of diseases, such as melanoma. Herein, we fabricated a DPMN patch containing a potent enzyme-nanozyme composite that transforms the upregulated glucose consumption of cancerous cells into lethal reactive oxygen species via a cascade reaction accelerated by endogenous chloride ions and external near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. This was accomplished by combining glucose oxidase (Gox) with a NIR-responsive chloroperoxidase-like copper sulfide (CuS) nanozyme. In contrast with subcutaneous injection, the microneedle system highly localizes the treatment, enhancing nanomedicine uptake by the tumor and reducing its systemic exposure to the kidneys and spleen. NIR irradiation further controls the potency and toxicity of the formulation by thermally disabling Gox. In a mouse melanoma model, this unique combination of photothermal, starvation, and chemodynamic therapies resulted in complete tumor eradication (99.2 ± 0.8 % reduction in tumor volume within 10 d) without producing signs of systemic toxicity. By comparison, other treatment combinations only resulted in a 42-76.5 % reduction in tumor growth. The microneedle patch design is therefore not only highly potent but also with regulated toxicity and improved safety.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive hydrogels have emerged as a highly promising strategy for effective anticancer therapy owing to the remotely controlled release of chemotherapeutic molecules with minimal invasive manner. In this study, novel NIR-responsive hydrogels were developed from reactive oxygen species (ROS)-cleavable thioketal cross-linkers which possessed terminal tetrazine groups to undergo a bio-orthogonal inverse electron demand Diels Alder click reaction with norbornene modified carboxymethyl cellulose. The hydrogels were rapidly formed under physiological conditions and generated N2 gas as a by-product, which led to the formation of porous structures within the hydrogel networks. A NIR dye, indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) were co-encapsulated in the porous network of the hydrogels. Upon NIR-irradiation, the hydrogels showed spatiotemporal release of encapsulated DOX (>96 %) owing to the cleavage of thioketal bonds by interacting with ROS generated from ICG, whereas minimal release of encapsulated DOX (<25 %) was observed in the absence of NIR-light. The in vitro cytotoxicity results revealed that the hydrogels were highly cytocompatible and did not induce any toxic effect on the HEK-293 cells. In contrast, the DOX + ICG-encapsulated hydrogels enhanced the chemotherapeutic effect and effectively inhibited the proliferation of Hela cancer cells when irradiated with NIR-light.

Abstract
Nowadays, there has been an increasing utilization of nanomedicines for disease treatment. Nanodiscs (NDs) have emerged as a novel platform technology that garners significant attention in biomedical research and drug discovery. NDs are nanoscale phospholipid bilayer discs capable of incorporating membrane proteins and lipids within a native-like environment. They are assembled using amphiphilic biomacromolecular materials, such as apolipoprotein A1 or membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs), peptides, and styrene-maleic acid polymers (SMAs). NDs possess well-defined sizes and shapes, offering a stable, homogeneous, and biologically relevant environment for studying membrane proteins and lipids. Their unique properties have made them highly desirable for diverse applications, including cancer immunotherapy, vaccine development, antibacterial and antiviral therapy, and treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and diabetes-related conditions. This review discusses the classifications, advantages, and applications of NDs in disease therapy.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) is a primary reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can act as a chemical signal in developing and progressing serious and life-threatening diseases like cancer. Due to the stressful nature of H2 O2 , there is an urgent need to develop sensitive analytical approaches to be applied to various biological matrices. Herein, a portable point-of-care electrochemical system based on MXene-Co3 O4 nanocomposites to detect H2 O2 in different cancer cell-lines is presented. The developed sensor is affordable, disposable, and highly selective for H2 O2 detection. This approach achieves a dynamic linear range of 75 µm with a LOD of 0.5 µm and a LOQ of 1.6 µm. To improve the practical application, the level of ROS is evaluated both in cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and DU145, respectively, to breast and prostate cancers, and in healthy HaCat cells. Moreover, the same cancer cells are treated with transforming growth factor-β1, and MXene-Co3 O4 modified strip is capable to monitorROS variation. The results are satisfactory compared with the cellular ROS fluorescent assay based on DCFH/DCFH-DA. These results open new perspectives for real-time monitoring of cancer progression and the efficacy of the therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbonyl, chlorine, bromine, and iodine species (RXS, where X = O, N, S, C, Cl, Br, and I) have important roles in various normal physiological processes and act as essential regulators of cell metabolism; their inherent biological activities govern cell signaling, immune balance, and tissue homeostasis. However, an imbalance between RXS production and consumption will induce the occurrence and development of various diseases. Due to the considerable progress of nanomedicine, a variety of nanosystems that can regulate RXS has been rationally designed and engineered for restoring RXS balance to halt the pathological processes of different diseases. The invention of radical-regulating nanomaterials creates the possibility of intriguing projects for disease treatment and promotes advances in nanomedicine. In this comprehensive review, we summarize, discuss, and highlight very-recent advances in RXS-based nanomedicine for versatile disease treatments. This review particularly focuses on the types and pathological effects of these reactive species and explores the biological effects of RXS-based nanomaterials, accompanied by a discussion and the outlook of the challenges faced and future clinical translations of RXS nanomedicines.

Abstract
The responses of patients to tumor therapies vary due to tumor heterogeneity. Tumor stratification has been attracting increasing attention for accurately distinguishing between responders to treatment and non-responders. Nanoprobes with unique physical and chemical properties have great potential for patient stratification. This review begins by describing the features and design principles of nanoprobes that can visualize specific cell types and biomarkers and release inflammatory factors during or before tumor treatment. Then, we focus on the recent advancements in using nanoprobes to stratify various therapeutic modalities, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), ferroptosis, and immunotherapy. The main challenges and perspectives of nanoprobes in cancer stratification are also discussed to facilitate probe development and clinical applications.

Abstract
The overexpression of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in the colonic mucosa destroys the mucosa and its barrier, accelerating the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The elimination of RONS from the inflammatory colon has proven effective in alleviating IBD. Although many nanoantioxidants have been developed, preparing robust and efficient nano-antioxidants remains challenging. Herein, by modifying bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) nanodiscs with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a multifunctional nanozyme based on 2D nanomaterials was developed for the treatment of IBD. By eliminating multiple RONS, such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH), superoxide anions (O2-•), nitric oxide (NO), and Bi2Se3 nanodiscs enhanced cellular survival after H2O2 stimulation. As evidenced by colonic injury, reduced body weight, spleen index, and proinflammatory cytokine levels in mice, RONS clearance alleviated intestinal inflammation in a prevention and delay model of acute colitis. 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing reveals that Bi2Se3 nanodiscs had the potential to regulate intestinal flora, increase the proportion of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes, inhibit Proteobacteria bacteria, and restore intestinal homeostasis. This study highlights the use of Bi2Se3 nanodiscs with excellent biocompatibility, multienzyme functionality, and RONS scavenging ability as treatments for IBD without apparent adverse effects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: RONS were efficiently scavenged by Bi2Se3 nanodiscs. Bi2Se3 nanodiscs could be as a promising and potentially safe theraeputic agent for IBD. The gut microbiota could be modulated by Bi2Se3 nanodiscs.

Abstract
Cartilage damage is frequent in various joint diseases, mainly manifested by the loss of type II collagen and the degradation of proteoglycans. Diclofenac sodium is a commonly used drug for the treatment of joint diseases, but simple administration is often affected by drug clearance and rapid metabolism. Intra-articular drug delivery is an effective method for local enrichment of high concentration of drugs. However, due to the short half-life of diclofenac sodium, prolonging the stability and duration of the drug can alleviate the disadvantages of direct intra-articular application. Nanospheres for delivering drugs to treat joint diseases could be a remedy for cartilage damage. In addition, excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by macrophages activated in damaged cartilage would aggravate cartilage damage. Therefore, this study intends to use poly lactic-co-glycolic acid nanospheres to load and deliver diclofenac sodium to inhibit chondrocyte death while regulating the generation of ROS, thereby promoting the treatment of cartilage damage.

Abstract
Two-dimensional conductive metal-organic frameworks (2D conductive MOFs) with π-d conjugations exhibit high electrical conductivity and diverse coordination structures, making them constitute a desirable platform for new electronic devices. Defects are inevitable in the self-assembly process of 2D conductive MOFs. Arguably, defect engineering that deliberately manipulates defects demonstrates great potential to enhance the electrocatalytic activity of this family of novel materials. Herein, a facile and universal defect engineering strategy is proposed and demonstrated for metal vacancy regulation of metal benzenehexathiolato (BHT) coordination polymer films. Controllable metal vacancies can be produced by simply tuning the proton concentration during the confined self-assembly process at the liquid-liquid interface. This facile but universal defect design strategy has been proven to be effective in a class of materials including Cu-BHT, Ni-BHT, and Ag-BHT for physicochemical regulation. To further demonstrate the feasibility and practicality in electrochemical applications, the elaborately fabricated Cu-BHT films with abundant Cu vacancies deliver competitive performance in electrocatalytic sensing of H2O2. Mechanistic analysis revealed that the Cu vacancies act as effective active sites for adsorption and reduction of H2O2, and the tuned electronic structure boosts the electrocatalytic reaction. The developed advanced sensing platform confirms the excellent commercial potential of Cu-BHT sensors for H2O2. The findings provide insights into the molecular structure design of 2D conducting MOFs by defect engineering and demonstrate the commercial potential of Cu-BHT electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
World Health Organisation (WHO) delineated cancer as one of the foremost reasons for mortality with 10 million deaths in the year 2020. Early diagnosis and effective drug delivery are of utmost importance in cancer management. The entrapment of both bio-imaging dyes and drugs will open novel avenues in the area of tumor theranostics. Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) are the characteristic features of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Researchers have taken advantage of these specific TME features in recent years to develop micelle-based theranostic nanosystems. This review focuses on the advantages of redox-sensitive micelles (RSMs) and supramolecular self-assemblies for tumor theranostics. Key chemical linkers employed for the tumor-specific release of the cargo have been discussed. In vitro characterisation techniques used for the characterization of RSMs have been deliberated. Potential bottlenecks that may present themselves in the bench-to-bedside translation of this technology and the regulatory considerations have been deliberated.

Abstract
Cancer drug delivery systems often suffer from premature drug leakage during transportation and/or inefficient drug release within cancer cells. We present here a polymeric prodrug nanoassembly that addresses these problems simultaneously. This nanoassembly comprises a polymeric prodrug with novel trivalent phenylboronate moieties for drug conjugation via ether linkages, as well as β-lapachone (Lapa). While the ether linkage enables nearly no drug release under physiological conditions, the Lapa molecules can induce the reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst specifically in cancer cells via NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase-1 catalysis, which triggers the cleavage of the ether bonds and thus cascade amplification drug release in cancer cells. As a result, the nanoassemblies exhibit much higher cytotoxicity against cancer cells than normal cells, and also increased therapeutic efficacy and reduced side effects compared to the clinically used irinotecan. We anticipate that this strategy can be applied to other drug delivery platforms to enable more precise drug release.

Abstract
H2O2 is essential for cellular processes and plays a vital role in the regulation of cell signaling pathways, which can be viewed as a warning signal for many kinds of disease including cancer, cardiovascular disease, reproductive abnormalities, diabetes, and renal failure. A H2O2-responsive hydrogel (H2O2-Gel) is a promising candidate for biomedical applications because of its good biocompatibility, similarity to soft biological tissues, ease of preparation, and its ability to respond to H2O2. In this study, the H2O2-responsive moieties used to fabricate H2O2-Gels were reviewed, including thioethers, disulfide bonds, selenides, diselenium bonds, diketones, boronic, and others. Next, the preparation method of H2O2-Gel was divided into two major categories according to their reaction mechanisms: either self-crosslinking or mechanisms entailing the addition of difunctional crosslinkers. Last, the applications of H2O2-Gels were emphasized, which have been viewed as desirable candidates in the fields of drug delivery, the detection of H2O2, glucose-responsive systems, ROS scavengers, tissue engineering, and cell-encapsulation.

Abstract
A novel tumor-related biomarker, a H2O2-activatable photosensitizer 4 based on the 1,3-dicarbonyl enol moieties of hypocrellin B (3), was designed and synthesized. The photosensitizer 4 showed a blue-shifted absorption band compared with 3, and showed negligible photosensitizing ability without H2O2. However, the release of 3 from 4 by the reaction with H2O2 regenerated the photosensitizing ability. Furthermore, 4 exhibited selective and effective photo-cytotoxicity against high H2O2-expressing cancer cells upon photo-irradiation with 660 nm light, which is inside the phototherapeutic window.

Abstract
Nanomedicines generally consisting of carrier materials with small fractions of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) have long been used to improve the pharmacokinetics and biodistributions, augment the therapeutic efficacies and mitigate the side effects. Amphiphilizing hydrophobic/hydrophilic drugs to prodrugs capable of self-assembly into well-defined nanostructures has emerged as a facile approach to fabricating nanomedicines because this amphiphilized prodrug (APD) strategy presents many advantages, including minimized use of inert carrier materials, well-characterized prodrug structures, fixed and high drug loading contents, 100% loading efficiency, and burst-free but controlled drug release. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in APDs and their nanomedicines, from the rationale and the stimuli-responsive linker chemistry for on-demand drug release to their progress to the clinics, clinical performance of APDs, as well as the challenges and perspective on future development.

Abstract
The development of alternative strategies for the efficient treatment of subcutaneous abscesses that do not require the massive use of antibiotics and surgical intervention is urgently needed. Herein, a novel synergistic antibacterial strategy based on photodynamic (PDT) and NO gas therapy is reported, in which, a PDT-driven NO controllable generation system (Ce6@Arg-ADP) is developed with l-Arg-rich amphiphilic dendritic peptide (Arg-ADP) as a carrier. This carrier not only displays superior bacterial association and biofilm penetration performance, but also acts as a versatile NO donor. Following efficient penetration into the interior of the biofilms, Ce6@Arg-ADP can rapidly produce massive NO via utilizing the H2 O2 generated during PDT to oxidize Arg-ADP to NO and l-citrulline, without affecting singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) production. The combination of 1 O2 and the reactive by-products of NO offers notable synergistic antibacterial and biofilm eradication effects. Importantly, following efficient elimination of all bacteria from the abscess site, Arg-ADP can further generate trace quantities of NO to facilitate the angiogenesis and epithelialization of the wound tissues, thereby notably promotes wound healing. Together, this study clearly suggests that Arg-ADP is a versatile NO donor, and the combination of PDT and NO represents a promising strategy for the efficient treatment of subcutaneous abscesses.

Abstract
Because some of the potentially most useful boronic acids are inherently unstable in blood plasma and exhibit poor selective retention in tumours, 2-heterocyclic N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) boronates provide a stable, spacious and highly effective harbor for prodrug conjugates. Herein we report MIDA boronates in conjunction with naphthalene-based fluorophores as suitable compounds for tumour diagnosis by virtue of their remarkable specificity and uniform benchtop stability. The shielding group was found to be effective at imparting stability under physiological conditions (pH 7.4), with rapid release of the drug upon exposure to the acidic microenvironment of the tumor. This approach significantly enhanced the efficiency of drug release and was found to exhibit fewer side effects, thus indicating its great potential for precision therapeutics.

Abstract
We present a new light cleavable polymer containing o-nitrobenzene thioacetal groups in the main chain. By conjugation to a PEG block, we synthesized block copolymers capable of forming nanoparticles in aqueous solution. We studied drug encapsulation and release using the model drug Nile Red. Irradiation with UV-A light (365 nm) leads to efficient degradation of the polymers and associated burst release of the payload. Unlike other thioacetal and thioketal polymers, these polymers are stable to reactive oxygen species (ROS), preventing non-triggered release. Moreover, the nanocarriers showed low cytotoxicity in cell viability experiments. The o-nitrobenzene thioacetal group selectively cleaves upon UV-A irradiation. When incorporated in a block-copolymer, these photoactive groups can be used for controlled release of molecular cargo from polymer nanoparticles.![]()

Abstract
Assessing cancer response to therapeutic interventions has been realized as an important course to early predict curative efficacy and treatment outcomes due to tumor heterogeneity. Compared to the traditional invasive tissue biopsy method, molecular imaging techniques have fundamentally revolutionized the ability to evaluate cancer response in a spatiotemporal manner. The past few years has witnessed a paradigm shift on the efforts from manufacturing functional molecular imaging probes for seeing a tumor to a vantage stage of interpreting the tumor response during different treatments. This review is to stand by the current development of advanced imaging technologies aiming to predict the treatment response in cancer therapy. Special interest is placed on the systems that are able to provide rapid and noninvasive assessment of pharmacokinetic drug fates (e.g., drug distribution, release, and activation) and tumor microenvironment heterogeneity (e.g., tumor cells, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), T cells, and inflammatory cells). The current status, practical significance, and future challenges of the emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technology and machine learning in the applications of medical imaging fields is overviewed. Ultimately, the authors hope that this review is timely to spur research interest in molecular imaging and precision medicine.

Abstract
Emerging from the origins of supramolecular chemistry and the development of selective chemical receptors that rely on lock-and-key binding, activity-based sensing (ABS)-which utilizes molecular reactivity rather than molecular recognition for analyte detection-has rapidly grown into a distinct field to investigate the production and regulation of chemical species that mediate biological signaling and stress pathways, particularly metal ions and small molecules. Chemical reactions exploit the diverse chemical reactivity of biological species to enable the development of selective and sensitive synthetic methods to decipher their contributions within complex living environments. The broad utility of this reaction-driven approach facilitates application to imaging platforms ranging from fluorescence, luminescence, photoacoustic, magnetic resonance, and positron emission tomography modalities. ABS methods are also being expanded to other fields, such as drug and materials discovery.

Abstract
Polymeric microneedles (MNs) have been leveraged as a novel transdermal drug delivery platform for effective drug permeation, which were widely used in the treatment of various diseases. However, issues including limited loading capacity of hydrophobic drugs, uncontrollable drug release rates, and monotonic therapeutic strategy hamper the further application of polymeric MNs. As a recent emerging research topic, drawing inspiration from the ways that nanomedicine integrated with MNs have opened new avenues for disease therapy. In this review, we examined the recent studies employing nanoparticles (NPs)-encapsulated polymeric MNs (NPs@MNs) for transdermal delivery of various therapeutic cargos, particularly focused on the application of NPs@MNs for diabetes therapy, infectious disease therapy, cancer therapy, and other dermatological disease therapy. We also provided an overview of the clinical potential and future translation of NPs@MNs.

Abstract
In the past few decades, polymeric nanocarriers have been recognized as promising tools and have gained attention from researchers for their potential to efficiently deliver bioactive compounds, including drugs, proteins, genes, nucleic acids, etc., in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Remarkably, these polymeric nanocarriers could be further modified as stimuli-responsive systems based on the mechanism of triggered release, i.e., response to a specific stimulus, either endogenous (pH, enzymes, temperature, redox values, hypoxia, glucose levels) or exogenous (light, magnetism, ultrasound, electrical pulses) for the effective biodistribution and controlled release of drugs or genes at specific sites. Various nanoparticles (NPs) have been functionalized and used as templates for imaging systems in the form of metallic NPs, dendrimers, polymeric NPs, quantum dots, and liposomes. The use of polymeric nanocarriers for imaging and to deliver active compounds has attracted considerable interest in various cancer therapy fields. So-called smart nanopolymer systems are built to respond to certain stimuli such as temperature, pH, light intensity and wavelength, and electrical, magnetic and ultrasonic fields. Many imaging techniques have been explored including optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging, ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). This review reports on the most recent developments in imaging methods by analyzing examples of smart nanopolymers that can be imaged using one or more imaging techniques. Unique features, including nontoxicity, water solubility, biocompatibility, and the presence of multiple functional groups, designate polymeric nanocues as attractive nanomedicine candidates. In this context, we summarize various classes of multifunctional, polymeric, nano-sized formulations such as liposomes, micelles, nanogels, and dendrimers.

Abstract
Tumor heterogeneity is one major reason for unpredictable therapeutic outcomes, while stratifying therapeutic responses at an early time may greatly benefit the better control of cancer. Here, we developed a hybrid nanovesicle to stratify radiotherapy response by activatable inflammation magnetic resonance imaging (aiMRI) approach. The high Pearson's correlation coefficient R values are obtained from the correlations between the T1 relaxation time changes at 24-48 h and the ensuing adaptive immunity (R = 0.9831) at day 5 and the tumor inhibition ratios (R = 0.9308) at day 18 after different treatments, respectively. These results underscore the role of acute inflammatory oxidative response in bridging the innate and adaptive immunity in tumor radiotherapy. Furthermore, the aiMRI approach provides a non-invasive imaging strategy for early prediction of the therapeutic outcomes in cancer radiotherapy, which may contribute to the future of precision medicine in terms of prognostic stratification and therapeutic planning.

Abstract
Specifically inhibiting the proliferation of activated macrophages and clearing the high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) secreted by macrophages is crucial for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. Moreover, if the clearance of these high levels of ROS can be simultaneously used to induce oxidation-responsive release of anti-inflammatory drugs, the therapeutic effect of OA may be further improved. Here, a multifunctional anti-inflammatory drug (CPHs) based on a peptide dendrimer nanogel was constructed by physically encapsulating CORM-401 and wrapping its surface with folic acid (FA)-modified hyaluronic acid (HA). CPHs is capable of efficiently entering activated macrophages via FA- and HA-mediated specific targeting effects and then rapidly release large amounts of CO by massive consumption of H2O2. The generated CO effectively suppresses the secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α by inhibiting cell proliferation; inducing the activation of heme oxygenase (HO-1), and downregulating the expression of p38 MAPK, NF-kB (p50/p65) and TLR-2. In vivo experiments further confirmed that CPHs can massively deplete ROS in OA joints and effectively suppress the degradation of articular cartilage and their extracellular matrix. More importantly, CPHs is non-toxic to normal macrophages, and the high levels of CO generated in the joints do not result in notable changes in the HbCO levels in blood. Together, these results show that CPHs is an effective and safe anti-inflammatory drug and has essential application prospects in OA treatment.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common type of primary brain tumor, and it has a high mortality rate. Currently, there are only a few therapeutic approaches for gliomas, and their effects are unsatisfactory. Therefore, uncovering the pathogenesis and exploring more therapeutic strategies for the treatment of gliomas are urgently needed to overcome the ongoing challenges. Cellular redox imbalance has been shown to be associated with the initiation and progression of gliomas. Among reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is considered the most suitable for redox signaling and is a potential candidate as a key molecule that determines the fate of cancer cells. In this review, we discuss the potential cellular and molecular roles of H2O2 in gliomagenesis and explore the potential implications of H2O2 in radiotherapy and chemotherapy and in the ongoing challenges of current glioma treatment. Moreover, we evaluate H2O2 as a potential redox sensor and potential driver molecule of nanocatalytic therapeutic strategies for glioma treatment.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a salient feature observed in most solid malignancies that holds a pivotal role in angiogenesis, metastasis and resistance to conventional cancer therapeutic approaches, and thus enables cancer progression. However, the typical characteristics of hypoxic cells such as low oxygen levels and highly bio-reductive environment can offer stimuli-responsive drug release to aid in tumor-specific chemo, radio, photodyanamic and sonodynamic therapies. This approach based on targeting the poorly oxygenated tumor habitats offers the prospective to overcome the difficulties that arises due to heterogenic nature of tumor and could be possibly used in the design of diagnostic as well as therapeutic nanocarriers for targeting various types of solid cancers. Consequently, hypoxia triggered nanoparticle based drug delivery systems is a rapidly progressing research area in developing effective strategies to combat drug-resistance in solid tumors. The present review presents the recent advances in the development of hypoxia-responsive nanovehicles for drug delivery to heterogeneous tumors. The initial sections of the article provides insights into the development of hypoxia in growing cancer and its role in disease progression. The current limitations and the future prospective of hypoxia-stimulated nanomachines for cancer treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
One of the goals of biomaterials science is to reverse engineer aspects of human and nonhuman physiology. Similar to the body's regulatory mechanisms, such devices must transduce changes in the physiological environment or the presence of an external stimulus into a detectable or therapeutic response. This review is a comprehensive evaluation and critical analysis of the design and fabrication of environmentally responsive cell-material constructs for bioinspired machinery and biomimetic devices. In a bottom-up analysis, we begin by reviewing fundamental principles that explain materials' responses to chemical gradients, biomarkers, electromagnetic fields, light, and temperature. Strategies for fabricating highly ordered assemblies of material components at the nano to macro-scales via directed assembly, lithography, 3D printing and 4D printing are also presented. We conclude with an account of contemporary material-tissue interfaces within bioinspired and biomimetic devices for peptide delivery, cancer theranostics, biomonitoring, neuroprosthetics, soft robotics, and biological machines.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases and disorders seriously impact memory and cognition and can become life-threatening. Current medical techniques attempt to combat these detrimental effects mainly through the administration of neuromedicine. However, drug efficacy is limited by rapid dispersal of the drugs to off-target sites while the site of administration is prone to overdose. Many neuropathological conditions are accompanied by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the inflammatory response. Accordingly, ROS-responsive drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising solution. To guide intelligent and comprehensive design of ROS-responsive drug delivery systems, this review article discusses the two following topics: (1) the biology of ROS in both healthy and diseased nervous systems and (2) recent developments in ROS-responsive, drug delivery system design. Overall, this review article would assist efforts to make better decisions about designing ROS-responsive, neural drug delivery systems, including the selection of ROS-responsive functional groups.

Abstract
The mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS, e.g., liver, spleen) is often treated as a "blackbox" by nanoresearchers in translating nanomedicines. Often, most of the injected nanomaterials are sequestered by the MPS, preventing their delivery to the desired disease areas. Here, this imperfection is exploited by applying nano-antioxidants with preferential liver uptake to directly prevent hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which is a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related disease. Ceria nanoparticles (NPs) are selected as a representative nano-antioxidant and the detailed mechanism of preventing IRI is investigated. It is found that ceria NPs effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms of hepatic IRI by scavenging ROS, inhibiting activation of Kupffer cells and monocyte/macrophage cells. The released pro-inflammatory cytokines are then significantly reduced and the recruitment and infiltration of neutrophils are minimized, which suppress subsequent inflammatory reaction involved in the liver. The protective effect of nano-antioxidants against hepatic IRI in living animals and the revealed mechanism herein suggests their future use for the treatment of hepatic IRI in the clinic.

Abstract
Recently emerged cancer immunochemotherapy has provided enormous new possibilities to replace traditional chemotherapy in fighting tumor. However, the treatment efficacy is hampered by tumor hypoxia-induced immunosuppression in tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we fabricated a self-oxygenation/degradable inorganic nanozyme with a core-shell structure to relieve tumor hypoxia in cancer immunochemotherapy. By integrating the biocompatible CaO2 as the oxygen-storing component, this strategy is more effective than the earlier designed nanocarriers for delivering oxygen or H2O2, and thus provides remarkable oxygenation and long-term capability in relieving hypoxia throughout the tumor tissue. Consequently, in vivo tests validate that the delivery system can successfully relieve hypoxia and reverse the immunosuppressive TME to favor antitumor immune responses, leading to enhanced chemoimmunotherapy with cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 blockade. Overall, a facile, robust and effective strategy is proposed to improve tumor oxygenation by using self-decomposable and biocompatible inorganic nanozyme reactor, which will not only provide an innovative pathway to relieve intratumoral hypoxia, but also present potential applications in other oxygen-favored cancer therapies or oxygen deficiency-originated diseases.

Abstract
The advancement of cell injections has created a need for accurate, efficient, and low-invasive injections. However, the conventional approaches to reduce cell damage during penetration, mainly optimization of micropipette tips and vision-based automatic injections, have almost reached the limit. Here, described are the design and implementation of a robotic-aided rotatory microinjection system to reduce cell deformation and penetration force during the injection. The homocentric rotation technology integrates an ultraprecise manipulation system with multiple degrees of freedom, which tremendously diminishes the damage to the cell. Through systematic tests on zebrafish embryo microinjection, compared with traditional straightforward cell injection techniques, the rotary cell injection approach is able to reduce the penetration deformation and force of the specimen up to 30%. This work breaks the performance limit of current microinjection techniques, and paves a new way for the development of low-invasive cell injection systems. It is envisioned that this rotary microrobot system can excavate enormous applications in the field of biomedicine, such as artificial fertilization and gene therapy.

Abstract
Insulin therapy is necessary to regulate blood glucose levels for people with type 1 diabetes and commonly used in advanced type 2 diabetes. Although subcutaneous insulin administration via hypodermic injection or pump-mediated infusion is the standard route of insulin delivery, it may be associated with pain, needle phobia, and decreased adherence, as well as the risk of infection. Therefore, transdermal insulin delivery has been widely investigated as an attractive alternative to subcutaneous approaches for diabetes management in recent years. Transdermal systems designed to prevent insulin degradation and offer controlled, sustained release of insulin may be desirable for patients and lead to increased adherence and glycemic outcomes. A challenge for transdermal insulin delivery is the inefficient passive insulin absorption through the skin due to the large molecular weight of the protein drug. In this review, we focus on the different transdermal insulin delivery techniques and their respective advantages and limitations, including chemical enhancers-promoted, electrically enhanced, mechanical force-triggered, and microneedle-assisted methods.

Abstract
In tumor tissues, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level is significantly higher than that in normal tissues, which has been frequently explored as the specific stimulus to trigger drug release. However, the low intrinsic ROS concentration and heterogeneous distribution in tumor tissues hinder the applications as the stimulus for drug delivery. Herein, we developed integrated nanoparticles to remold tumor microenvironment via specific amplification of the tumor oxidative stress and simultaneously realize ROS-responsive drug release. The amphiphilic block copolymer prodrugs composed of poly(ethylene glycol) and polymerized methacrylate monomer containing thioketal-linked camptothecin (CPT) were synthesized and self-assembled to form core-shell micelles for encapsulation of β-lapachone (Lapa@NPs). After tumor accumulation and internalization into tumor cells post systemic administration of Lapa@NPs, Lapa can selectively induce remarkable ROS level increase via the catalysis of NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) enzyme overexpressed in cancer cells. Subsequently, enhanced ROS concentration would trigger the cleavage of thioketal linkers to release drug. The released CPT together with high ROS level achieved a synergistic therapy to suppress tumor growth. Moreover, Lapa@NPs exhibited superior biosafety due to the tumor-specific activation of the cascade reaction. Accordingly, Lapa@NPs represent a novel polymer prodrug design and drug release strategy via tumor-specific oxidative stress amplification and subsequent ROS-responsive drug release.

Abstract
Five major reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated in diseases including H2O2, •OH, O2•-, ROO•, and 1O2. Simultaneous detection of the five ROS with a single probe is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the development and progression of many diseases, such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. However, currently reported detection systems are limited by targeting one ROS with one probe. This one-to-one detection mode may fail to sufficiently unveil the diseased state. In this study, we achieved simultaneous detection of all the five ROS with one probe (i.e., one-to-all detection), by designing a novel para-aminothiophenol (PATP) and hemin-decorated gold (Au/PATP/Hemin) nanoprobe. The design is principled by our discovery that PATP can react with •OH, O2•-, ROO•, and 1O2 by a radical oxidative coupling mechanism to form 4,4'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB). The DMAB then elicited strong characteristic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) peaks at 1142, 1386, and 1432 cm-1; which in turn enables direct detection of •OH, O2•-, ROO•, and 1O2 and indirect detection of H2O2 by hemin-catalyzed fenton reaction to convert H2O2 into •OH. In two representative ROS-elevated mice models of tumors and allergic dermatitis, the Au/PATP/Hemin nanoprobe demonstrated its robust performance of monitoring tumor development and inflammation progression in a highly sensitive and quantitative manner.

Abstract
Development of tumor microenvironment responsive and modulating theranostic nano-systems is of great importance for specific and efficient cancer therapy. Herein, we report a redox-sensitive nanoagent combining manganese dioxide (MnO2) and gold nanoshell coated silicon nanoparticles for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy of hypoxia solid tumors. In highly reducing tumor tissues, the outer MnO2 nanosheet with the loaded drug would be dissociated by intracellular glutathione (GSH), resulting in on-demand drug release, as well as generating Mn2+ ions which provided high contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and fluorescence imaging (FI) in vitro and in vivo. While upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, the gold nanoshell modulated the hypoxic tumor microenvironment via increasing blood flow, achieving enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy. After tail vein injection into tumor-bearing mice and monitoring in real time, the intelligent redox-activated nanoagent exhibited high tumor accumulation and powerful synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy efficiency. The proposed work developed a noninvasive strategy to modulate the tumor microenvironment and enhance the anticancer therapeutic effect. We believe that this single nano-platform exhibits promising potential as a comprehensive theranostic agent to enhance the efficacies of synergistic cancer therapy.
