Abstract
Xanthine-functionalized molybdenum oxide nanodots (X-MoO3-x NDs) with peroxidase (POD)-like activity were developed for selective, sensitive, and facile colorimetric quantification of xanthine oxidase (XO). Xanthine functionalization can not only be favorable for the successful nanozyme preparation, but also for the specific recognition of XO as well as the simultaneous generation of hydrogen peroxide, which was subsequently transformed into hydroxyl radical to oxidize the chromogenic reagent based on the POD-like catalysis. Under the optimized conditions, the colorimetric biosensing platform was established for XO assay without addition of further substrates, showing good linearity relationship between absorbance difference (ΔA) and XO concentrations in the range 0.05-0.5 U/mL (R2 = 0.998) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.019 U/mL. The quantification of XO occurs in 25 min, which is superior to the previously reported and commercial XO assays. The proposed method has been successfully used in the assay of human serum samples, showing its high potential in the field of clinical monitoring.

Selective Tumor Hypoxia Targeting Using M75 Antibody Conjugated Photothermally Active MoO x Nanoparticles. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:44497-44513.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) mediated at the nanoscale has a unique advantage over currently used cancer treatments, by being spatially highly specific and minimally invasive. Although PTT combats traditional tumor treatment approaches, its clinical implementation has not yet been successful. The reasons for its disadvantage include an insufficient treatment efficiency or low tumor accumulation. Here, we present a promising new PTT platform combining a recently emerged two-dimensional (2D) inorganic nanomaterial, MoOx, and a tumor hypoxia targeting element, the monoclonal antibody M75. M75 specifically binds to carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), a hypoxia marker associated with many solid tumors with a poor prognosis. The as-prepared nanoconjugates showed highly specific binding to cancer cells expressing CAIX while being able to produce significant photothermal yield after irradiation with near-IR wavelengths. Small aminophosphonic acid linkers were recognized to be more effective over the combination of poly(ethylene glycol) chain and biotin-avidin-biotin bridge in constructing a PTT platform with high tumor-binding efficacy. The in vitro cellular uptake of nanoconjugates was visualized by high-resolution fluorescence microscopy and label-free live cell confocal Raman microscopy. The key to effective cancer treatment may be the synergistic employment of active targeting and noninvasive, tumor-selective therapeutic approaches, such as nanoscale-mediated PTT. The use of active targeting can streamline nanoparticle delivery increasing photothermal yield and therapeutic success.

Abstract
The journey of ceramics in medicine has been synchronized with an evolution from the first generation-alumina, zirconia, etc.-to the third -3D scaffolds. There is an up-and-coming member called oxygen-deficient or colored bioceramics, which have recently found their way through biomedical applications. The oxygen vacancy steers the light absorption toward visible and near infrared regions, making the colored bioceramics multifunctional-therapeutic, diagnostic, and regenerative. Oxygen-deficient bioceramics are capable of turning light into heat and reactive oxygen species for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, respectively, and concomitantly yield infrared and photoacoustic images. Different types of oxygen-deficient bioceramics have been recently developed through various synthesis routes. Some of them like TiO2- x , MoO3- x , and WOx have been more investigated for biomedical applications, whereas the rest have yet to be scrutinized. The most prominent advantage of these bioceramics over the other biomaterials is their multifunctionality endowed with a change in the microstructure. There are some challenges ahead of this category discussed at the end of the present review. By shedding light on this recently born bioceramics subcategory, it is believed that the field will undergo a big step further as these platforms are naturally multifunctional.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photothermal and photodynamic therapy, has gained extensive attention in the tumor treatment field recently, while synergistic therapy can significantly improve curative effects. However, a complicated photo-responsive nanosystem, different excitation wavelengths, and low tissue depth hindered its actual application. Herein, single near-infrared responsive PEGylated defective MoO2 nanocrystals were fabricated by a green hydrothermal method. The photothermal and photodynamic performances of the samples were presented in detail under a safe power of 1064 nm (NIR-II, 1.0 W cm-2). Interestingly, the photodynamic properties were prompted by the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) photothermal effect obviously, and the collaborative enhancement mechanism was explored in depth. Subsequently, the in vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated on the 4T1 cancer cells under NIR-II irradiation. This work may provide guidance for the facile fabrication of TMOs for NIR-II responsive and enhanced dual-modal phototherapy.

Abstract
A variety of therapeutic approaches using liquid metal (LM) have been intensively investigated, due to its unique physico-chemical properties that include high surface tension, fluidity, shape deformability, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity. Among a series of LMs, the relatively lower toxicity and minimal volatility of gallium (Ga)-based LMs (GaLMs) enables their usage in a series of potential biomedical applications, especially implantable platforms, to treat multiple diseases. In addition, the highly efficient conversion of light energy into thermal or chemical energy via GaLMs has led to recent developments in photothermal and photodynamic applications for anticancer treatments. As attractive photothermal agents or photosensitizers, a systematic interpretation of the structural characteristics and photo-responsive behaviors of GaLMs is necessary to develop effective anticancer engineering applications. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of currently suggested GaLM-mediated photo-therapeutic cancer treatments. In particular, the review summarizes (1) surface coating techniques to form stable and multifunctional GaLM particulates, (2) currently investigated GaLM-mediated photothermal and photodynamic anticancer therapies, (3) synergistic efficacies with the aid of additional interventions, and (4) 3D composite gels embedded with GaLMs particles, to convey the potential technological advances of LM in this field.

Abstract
Over the last decades, photomedicine has made a significant impact and progress in treating superficial cancer. With tremendous efforts many of the technologies have entered clinical trials. Photothermal agents (PTAs) have been considered as emerging candidates for accelerating the outcome from photomedicine based cancer treatment. Besides various inorganic and organic candidates, 2D materials such as graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenum disulfide have shown significant potential for photothermal therapy (PTT). The properties such as high surface area to volume, biocompatibility, stability in physiological media, ease of synthesis and functionalization, and high photothermal conversion efficiency have made 2D nanomaterials wonderful candidates for PTT to treat cancer. The targeting or localized activation could be achieved when PTT is combined with chemotherapies, immunotherapies, or photodynamic therapy (PDT) to provide better outcomes with fewer side effects. Though significant development has been made in the field of phototherapeutic drugs, several challenges have restricted the use of PTT in clinical use and hence they have not yet been tested in large clinical trials. In this review, we attempted to discuss the progress, properties, applications, and challenges of 2D materials in the field of PTT and their application in photomedicine.

Abstract
How to optimize the enzyme-like catalytic activity of nanozymes to improve their applicability has become a great challenge. Herein, we present an l-cysteine (l-Cys) coordination-driven self-assembly strategy to activate polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-modified Cu single-atom nanozymes MoOx-Cu-Cys (denoted as MCCP SAzymes) aiming at catalytic tumor-specific therapy. The Cu single atom content of MCCP can be rationally modulated to 10.10 wt %, which activates the catalase (CAT)-like activity of MoOx nanoparticles to catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 in acidic microenvironments to increase O2 production. Excitingly, the maximized CAT-like catalytic efficiency of MCCP is 138-fold higher than that of typical MnO2 nanozymes and exhibits 14.3-fold higher affinity than natural catalase, as demonstrated by steady-state kinetics. We verify that the well-defined l-Cys-Cu···O active sites optimize CAT-like activity to match the active sites of natural catalase through an l-Cys bridge-accelerated electron transfer from Cys-Cu to MoOx disclosed by density functional theory calculations. Simultaneously, the high loading Cu single atoms in MCCP also enable generation of •OH via a Fenton-like reaction. Moreover, under X-ray irradiation, MCCP converts O2 to 1O2 for cascading radiodynamic therapy, thereby facilitating the multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) for radiosensitization to achieve substantial antitumor.

Abstract
Phototheranostic based on photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), as one of avant-garde medical techniques, have sparked growing attention because it allows noninvasive, deeply penetrative, and highly selective and effective therapy. Among a variety of phototheranostic nanoagents, single-component inorganic nanostructures are found to be novel and attractive PAI and PTT combined nanotheranostic agents and received tremendous attention, which not only exhibit structural controllability, high tunability in physiochemical properties, size-dependent optical properties, high reproducibility, simple composition, easy functionalization, and simple synthesis process, but also can be endowed with multiple therapeutic and imaging functions, realizing the superior therapy result along with bringing less foreign materials into body, reducing systemic side effects and improving the bioavailability. In this review, according to their synthetic components, conventional single-component inorganic nanostructures are divided into metallic nanostructures, metal dichalcogenides, metal oxides, carbon based nanostructures, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes, graphdiyne and other nanostructures. On the basis of this category, their detailed applications in PAI guide PTT of tumor treatment are systematically reviewed, including synthesis strategies, corresponding performances, and cancer diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. Before these, the factors to influence on photothermal effect and the principle of in vivo PAI are briefly presented. Finally, we also comprehensively and thoroughly discussed the limitation, potential barriers, future perspectives for research and clinical translation of this single-component inorganic nanoagent in biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
As one of the most cutting-edge and promising polymer crosslinked network nanoparticle systems. Polymer nano-sized hydrogels (nanogels) have been a hot topic in the biomedical field over the last few decades. Due to their unique characteristics, which include their relatively high drug encapsulation efficiency, ease of preparation, high tunability, low toxicity, high stability in serum and responsive behavior to a range of stimuli to facilitate drug release. Nanogels are thought to be the next generation of drug delivery systems that can completely change the way that drug delivery systems have an impact on patients' lives. Nanogels have demonstrated significant potential in a variety of fields, including chemotherapy, diagnosis, organ targeting, and delivery of bioactive molecules of different dimensions. However, the lack of substantial clinical data from nanogels becomes one of the major barriers to translating the nanogel concept into a practical therapeutic application for many disease conditions. In addition, nanogel safety profiles have been the major concern that hinders it advancement to the clinical trial phase. This review aims to emphasize the unique properties of nanogels as delivery systems for a variety of bioactive molecules over other nano-delivery systems. Also, this review attempts to give insight into the recent progress in nanogels as a carrier in the field of nanomedicine to overcome complex biological barriers. Relevant scientific data and clinical rationale for the development and the potential use of nanogel as a carrier for targeted therapeutic interventions are discussed. Finally, the concluding points of this review highlight the importance of understanding the long-term toxicity profile of nanogel within the biological system to fully understand their biocompatibility.

Abstract
Metal oxides modified with dopants and defects are an emerging class of novel materials supporting the localized surface plasmon resonance across a wide range of optical wavelengths, which have attracted tremendous research interest particularly in biological applications in the past decade. Compared to conventional noble metal-based plasmonic materials, plasmonic metal oxides are particularly favored for their cost efficiency, flexible plasmonic properties, and improved biocompatibility, which can be important to accelerate their practical implementation. In this review, we first explicate the origin of plasmonics in dopant/defect-enabled metal oxides and their associated tunable localized surface plasmon resonance through the conventional Mie-Gans model. The research progress of dopant incorporation and defect generation in metal oxide hosts, including both in situ and ex situ approaches, is critically discussed. The implementation of plasmonic metal oxides in biological applications in terms of therapy, imaging, and sensing is summarized, in which the uniqueness of dopant/defect-driven plasmonics for inducing novel functionalities is particularly emphasized. This review may provide insightful guidance for developing next-generation plasmonic devices for human health monitoring, diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Plasmonic field-field coupling-induced enhancement of the optical properties of dye molecules in the nanogaps among metal nanoparticle clusters and thin films has attracted significant attention especially in disease-related theranostic applications. However, it is very challenging to synthesize plasmonic core-gap-shell nanostructures with a well-controlled nanogap, uniform shape, and distances to maximize the plasmonic field-field coupling between the core and the shell. Herein, we synthesized Au@gap@AuAg nanopeanut-shaped core-gap-shell nanostructures (Au NPN) and tuned their optical absorption from near-infrared region-I (NIR-I) to near-infrared region-II (NIR-II) by filling their nanogap with a high dielectric NaCl(aq) aqueous solution, which led to a dramatic redshift in the plasmonic absorption band by 320 nm from 660 to 980 nm and a 12.6-fold increase (at 1064 nm) in the extinction coefficient in the NIR region (1000-1300 nm). Upon filling the nanogap with NaCl(aq) aqueous solution, the Au NPN6.5(NaCl) (i.e., ∼6.5 nm nanogap)-mediated NIR-II photodynamic therapy effect was dramatically enhanced, resulting in a much longer average lifespan of >55 days for the mice bearing a murine colon tumor and treated with Au NPN6.5(NaCl) plus 1064 nm light irradiation compared to the mice treated with Au NPN6.5 + 1064 nm light irradiation (without nanogap filled with dielectric NaCl(aq), 40 d) and the doxorubicin-treated group (23 d). This study demonstrates a simple but effective method to tune and maximize the plasmonic field-field coupling between the metal shell and metal core of core-gap-shell nanostructures, the plasmonic field-lattice interactions, and biomedical applications for the treatment of tumors. Overall, our work presents a new way to enhance/maximize the plasmonic field-field and field-lattice coupling, and thus the performance/sensitivities in nanogap-based bioimaging, sensing, and theranostic nanomaterials and devices.

Abstract
Converting solar energy to chemical energy through a photocatalytic reaction is an efficient technique for obtaining a clean and affordable source of energy. The main problem with solar photocatalysts is the recombination of charge carriers and the large band gap of the photocatalysts. The plasmonic noble metal coupled with a semiconductor can give a unique synergetic effect and has emerged as the leading material for the photocatalytic reaction. The LSPR generation by these kinds of materials has proved to be very efficient in the photocatalytic hydrolysis of the hydrogen-rich compound, photocatalytic water splitting, and photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. A noble metal coupled with a low bandgap semiconductor result in an ideal photocatalyst. Here, both the noble metal and semiconductor can absorb visible light. They tend to produce an electron–hole pair and prevent the recombination of the generated electron–hole pair, which ultimately reacts with the chemicals in the surrounding area, resulting in an enhanced photocatalytic reaction. The enhanced photocatalytic activity credit could be given to the shared effect of the strong SPR and the effective separation of photogenerated electrons and holes supported by noble metal particles. The study of plasmonic metal nanoparticles onto semiconductors has recently accelerated. It has emerged as a favourable technique to master the constraint of traditional photocatalysts and stimulate photocatalytic activity. This review work focuses on three main objectives: providing a brief explanation of plasmonic dynamics, understanding the synthesis procedure and examining the main features of the plasmonic metal nanostructure that dominate its photocatalytic activity, comparing the reported literature of some plasmonic photocatalysts on the hydrolysis of ammonia borane and dye water treatment, providing a detailed description of the four primary operations of the plasmonic energy transfer, and the study of prospects and future of plasmonic nanostructures.

Abstract
Achieving synergism, often by combination therapy via codelivery of chemotherapeutic agents, remains the mainstay of treating multidrug-resistance cases in cancer and microbial strains. With a typical core-shell architecture and surface functionalization to ensure facilitated targeting of tissues, nanocarriers are emerging as a promising platform toward gaining such synergism. Co-encapsulation of disparate theranostic agents in nanocarriers-from chemotherapeutic molecules to imaging or photothermal modalities-can not only address the issue of protecting the labile drug payload from a hostile biochemical environment but may also ensure optimized drug release as a mainstay of synergistic effect. However, the fate of co-encapsulated molecules, influenced by temporospatial proximity, remains unpredictable and marred with events with deleterious impact on therapeutic efficacy, including molecular rearrangement, aggregation, and denaturation. Thus, more than just an art of confining multiple therapeutics into a 3D nanoscale space, a co-encapsulated nanocarrier, while aiming for synergism, should strive toward achieving a harmonious cohabitation of the encapsulated molecules that, despite proximity and opportunities for interaction, remain innocuous toward each other and ensure molecular integrity. This account will inspect the current progress in co-encapsulation in nanocarriers and distill out the key points toward accomplishing such synergism through reciprocity.

Abstract
A rapid increase in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) induced infection has been noticed in recent years and the biofilm formed by MRSA further delays wound healing, causing a high mortality rate. Hence, a safe and effective superoxide radical (O2•-) mediated self-synthesis strategy is developed to prepare Au-doped MoO3-x (Au/MoO3-x) plasmonic-semiconductor hybrid for the elimination of MRSA mediated wound infection. The synthesis mechanism of Au NPs is systematically investigated, proving that O2•- plays a key role in reduction of HAuCl4 into Au NPs in the presence of H2O and O2. Au-doped MoO3-x exhibits the improved photothermal conversion efficiency (∼52.40%) compared with MoO3-x (∼41.11%). Moreover, the peroxidase (POD)-like activity of Au/MoO3-x hybrid is higher than that of MoO3-x NPs, resulting in increased yield of highly toxic ·OH. In combination with the enhanced photothermal and POD-like properties, Au/MoO3-x hybrid achieves efficient elimination of MRSA bacteria with eradication ratio of ∼99.76%. Additionally, the as-prepared Au/MoO3-x NPs exhibit excellent biosafety, which is verified via in vitro and in vivo experiments. This study provides the basis for exploring MoO3-x-based hybrids via a green O2•--mediated self-synthesis approach.

Abstract
As one of the most common malignant tumors, oral cancer threatens people's health worldwide. However, traditional therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy can't meet the requirement of cancer cure. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted widespread attentions for its advantages of the noninvasive process, few side effects, and promising tumor ablation. Up to now, three types of photothermal agents (PTAs) have been widely employed in oral cancer therapies, which involve metallic materials, carbon-based materials, and organic materials. Previous research mainly introduced hybrid materials due to benefits from the synergistic effect of multiple functions. In this review, we present the advancement of each type PTAs for oral cancer treatment in recent years. In each part, we introduce the properties and synthesis of each PTA, summarize the current studies, and analyze their potential applications. Furthermore, we discuss the status quo and the deficiencies hindering the clinical application of PTT, based on which gives the perspective of its future developing directions.

Abstract
The field of cancer theranostics has grown rapidly in the past decade and innovative ‘biosmart’ theranostic materials are being synthesized and studied to combat the fast growth of cancer metastases. While current state-of-the-art oncology imaging techniques have decreased mortality rates, patients still face a diminished quality of life due to treatment. Therefore, improved diagnostics are needed to define in vivo tumor growths on a molecular level to achieve image-guided therapies and tailored dosage needs. This review summarizes in vivo studies that utilize contrast agents within the field of photoacoustic imaging—a relatively new imaging modality—for tumor detection, with a special focus on imaging and transducer parameters. This paper also details the different types of contrast agents used in this novel diagnostic field, i.e., organic-based, metal/inorganic-based, and dye-based contrast agents. We conclude this review by discussing the challenges and future direction of photoacoustic imaging.

In this work, fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG)-conjugated and bioactive compound gambogic acid (GA)-loaded polymeric micelles (GA@PEG-TK-ICG PMs) were smoothly fabricated via the self-assembly of the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive thioketal (TK)-linked amphiphilic polymer poly(ethyleneglycol)-thioketal-(indocyanine green) (PEG-TK-ICG). The resultant micelles demonstrated increased resistance to photobleaching, enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency, NIR-controlled drug release behavior, preferable biocompatibility, and excellent tumor accumulation performance. Moreover, upon an 808 nm laser irradiation, the micellar photoactive chromophore ICG converted the absorbed optical energy to both hyperthermia for photothermal therapy (PTT) and ROS as the feedback trigger to the micelles for the tumor-specific release of GA, which could serve as not only a chemotherapeutic drug to directly kill tumor cells but also a heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor to realize the photothermal sensitization. As a result, an extremely high tumor inhibition rate (97.9%) of mouse 4 T1 breast cancer models was achieved with negligible side effects after the chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy. This NIR-activated nanosystem with photothermal self-sensitization function may provide a feasible option for the effective treatment of aggressive breast cancers.

Abstract
The intracellular O2-supply not only can relieve tumor hypoxia but also enhance the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, metallic Mo2C@N-carbon@PEG nanoparticles were constructed to reveal the near infrared (NIR)-photocatalytic O2 generation and promote photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, (NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O nanorods and urea were adopted as resources that were calcined to obtain Mo2C@N-carbon nanoparticles (20 nm). All samples displayed high NIR absorption as well as photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 52.7 % (Mo2C@N-Carbon-3@PEG). The density functional theory calculations demonstrated the metallic characteristic of Mo2C and that the consecutive interband/intraband charge-transition was responsible for the high NIR harvest and redox ability of electron-hole pairs, making the NIR-photocatalytic O2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In comparison with the pure Mo2C, the heterostructure displayed twice the performance due to the enhanced charge-segregation between Mo2C and N-carbon. Given the high X-ray absorption coefficient and photothermal ability, the nanocomposite could be used in novel computer tomography and photothermal imaging contrast. Furthermore, the novel biodegradation and metabolism behaviors of nanocomposites were investigated, which were reflected as elimination from the body (mouse) via feces and urine within 14 days. The as-synthesized Mo2C@N-Carbon@PEG nanocomposites integrated the dual-model imaging, intracellular O2-supply, and phototherapy into one nanoplatform, revealing its potential for anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
Materials that exhibit photothermal effect have attracted enormous research interests due to their ability to strongly absorb light and effectively transform it into heat for a wide range of applications in biomedical, environmental and energy related fields. The past decade has witnessed significant advances in the preparation of a variety of photothermal materials, mainly due to the emergence of many nano-enabled new materials, such as plasmonic metals, stoichiometric/non-stoichiometric semiconductors, and the newly emerging MXenes. These photothermal nanomaterials can be hybridized with other constituents to form functional hybrids or composites for achieving enhanced photothermal performance. In this review, we present the fundamental insight of inorganic photothermal materials, including their photothermal conversion mechanisms/properties as well as their potential applications in various fields. Emphasis is placed on strategic approaches for improving their light harvesting and photothermal conversion capabilities through engineering their nanostructured size, shape, composition, bandgap and so on. Lastly, the underlying challenges and perspectives for future development of photothermal nanomaterials are proposed.

Abstract
Background The design of stable and biocompatible black phosphorus-based theranostic agents with high photothermal conversion efficiency and clear mechanism to realize MRI-guided precision photothermal therapy (PTT) is imminent. Results Herein, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPs) covalently with mono-dispersed and superparamagnetic ferrous selenide (FeSe2) to construct heteronanostructure nanoparticles modified with methoxy poly (Ethylene Glycol) (mPEG-NH2) to obtain good water solubility for MRI-guided photothermal tumor therapy is successfully designed. The mechanism reveals that the enhanced photothermal conversion achieved by BPs-FeSe2-PEG heteronanostructure is attributed to the effective separation of photoinduced carriers. Besides, through the formation of the P-Se bond, the oxidation degree of FeSe2 is weakened. The lone pair electrons on the surface of BPs are occupied, which reduces the exposure of lone pair electrons in air, leading to excellent stability of BPs-FeSe2-PEG. Furthermore, the BPs-FeSe2-PEG heteronanostructure could realize enhanced T2-weighted imaging due to the aggregation of FeSe2 on BPs and the formation of hydrogen bonds, thus providing accurate PTT guidance and generating hyperthermia to inhabit tumor growth under NIR laser with negligible toxicity in vivo. Conclusions Collectively, this work offers an opportunity for fabricating BPs-based heteronanostructure nanomaterials that could simultaneously enhance photothermal conversion efficiency and photostability to realize MRI-guided cancer therapy.

Abstract
The localized surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanoparticles has attracted much attention owing to its unique characteristics, including the enhancement of signals in sensors and photothermal effects. In particular, hollow gold nanostructures are highly promising for practical applications, with significant advantages being found in their material properties and structures: 1) the interaction between the outer surface plasmon mode and inner cavity mode leads to a greater resonance, allowing it to absorb near-infrared light, which can readily penetrate tissue; 2) it has anti-corrosiveness and good biocompatibility, which makes it suitable for biomedical applications; 3) it shows a reduced net density and large surface area, allowing the possibility of nanocarriers for drug delivery. In this review, we present information on the classification, characteristics, and synthetic methods of hollow gold nanostructures; discuss the recent advances in hollow gold nanostructures in biomedical applications, including biosensing, bioimaging, photothermal therapy, and drug delivery; and report on the existing challenges and prospects for hollow gold nanostructures.

Abstract
Porous nanomaterials with high surface area, tunable porosity, and large mesopores have recently received particular attention in cancer therapy and imaging. Introduction of additional pores to nanostructures not only endows the tunability of optoelectronic and optical features optimal for tumor treatment, but also modulates the loading capacity and controlled release of therapeutic agents. In recognition, increasing efforts have been made to fabricate various porous nanomaterials and explore their potentials in oncology applications. Thus, a systematic and comprehensive summary is necessary to overview the recent progress, especially in last ten years, on the development of various mesoporous nanomaterials for cancer treatment as theranostic agents. While outlining their individual synthetic mechanisms after a brief introduction of the structures and properties of porous nanomaterials, the current review highlighted the representative applications of three main categories of porous nanostructures (organic, inorganic, and organic-inorganic nanomaterials). In each category, the synthesis, representative examples, and interactions with tumors were further detailed. The review was concluded with deliberations on the key challenges and future outlooks of porous nanostructures in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective treatment strategy for cervical carcinoma is subject to the limitation of its anatomical location and histological characteristics. Comprehensive imaging before cervical carcinoma treatment is of great significance for the patients. Current imaging methods cannot meet the requirements of high resolution, deep imaging depth and non-invasive imaging at the same time. Fortunately, Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a novel imaging method that combines rich optical contrast, high ultrasonic spatial resolution, and deep penetration depth in a single modality. Moreover, PAI-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) by aid of targeting nanoparticles is an emerging and effective cancer treatment in recent years. METHODS Here, strong near-infrared region (NIR) absorption-conjugated polymer PIIGDTS (PD) nanoparticles with folic acid (FA) modification (namely, PD-FA) that targeted at Hela cell were specifically designed as cervical tumor imaging contrast agents and photothermal agents. RESULTS The obtained PD-FA nanoparticles exhibited admirable photoacoustic contrast-enhancing ability and desirable PTT behavior with the photothermal conversion efficiency as high as 62.6% in vitro. Furthermore, the PAI performance and PTT efficiency were tested in HeLa tumor-bearing nude mice after injection of PD-FA nanoparticles. In vivo multi-scale, PAI provided B-san and 3D dimension imaging for intuitive and comprehensive information of Hela tumor. Moreover, the Hela tumor can be completely eliminated within 18 days after PTT, with no toxicity and side effects. CONCLUSION In summary, PD-FA injection combined with PAI and PTT systems provides a novel powerful tool for early diagnosis and precise treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Therapeutic, diagnostic, and imaging approaches based on nanotechnology offer distinct advantages in cancer treatment. Various nanotherapeutics have been presented as potential alternatives to traditional anticancer therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical intervention. Notably, the advantage of nanotherapeutics is mainly attributable to their accumulation and targeting ability toward cancer cells, multiple drug-carrying abilities, combined therapies, and imaging approaches. To date, numerous nanoparticle formulations have been developed for anticancer therapy and among them, metallic nanotherapeutics reportedly demonstrate promising cancer therapeutic and diagnostic efficiencies owing to their dense surface functionalization ability, uniform size distribution, and shape-dependent optical responses, easy and cost-effective synthesis procedure, and multiple anti-cancer effects. Metallic nanotherapeutics can remodel the tumor microenvironment by changing unfavorable therapeutic conditions into therapeutically accessible ones with the help of different stimuli, including light, heat, ultrasound, an alternative magnetic field, redox, and reactive oxygen species. The combination of metallic nanotherapeutics with both external and internal stimuli can be used to trigger the on-demand release of therapeutic molecules, augmenting the therapeutic efficacies of anticancer therapies such as photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, magnetic hyperthermia, sonodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy. In this review, we have summarized the role of different metallic nanotherapeutics in anti-cancer therapy, as well as their combinational effects with multiple stimuli for enhanced anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Solid tumors inevitably develop radioresistance due to low oxygen partial pressure in the tumor microenvironment. Despite numerous attempts, there are still few effective ways to avoid the hypoxia-induced poor radiotherapeutic effect. To overcome this problem, platinum (Pt) nanodots were fabricated into a mesoporous bismuth (Bi)-based nanomaterial to construct a biodegradable nanocomposite BiPt-folic acid-modified amphiphilic polyethylene glycol (PFA). BiPt-PFA could act as a radiosensitizer to enhance the absorption of X-rays at the tumor site and simultaneously trigger response behaviors related to the tumor microenvironment due to the enrichment of materials in the tumor area. During this process, the Bi-based component consumed glutathione via coordination, thus altering the oxidative stress balance, while Pt nanoparticles catalyzed the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to generate oxygen, thereby relieving tumor hypoxia. Both Pt and Bi thus co-modulated the tumor microenvironment to improve the radiotherapeutic effect. In addition, Pt dots in BiPt-PFA had strong near-infrared absorption ability and created an intensive photothermal therapeutic effect. Modulation of the tumor microenvironment could thus improve the therapeutic effect in hypoxic tumors by a combination of photothermal therapy and enhanced radiotherapy. BiPt-PFA, as a biodegradable nanocomposite, may thus modulate the tumor microenvironment to enhance the hypoxic tumor therapeutic effect by thermoradiotherapy.

Abstract
Combinatorial cancer therapies mediated by nanomaterials can potentially overcome the limitations of conventional treatments. These therapies are generally investigated using 2D in vitro cancer models, leading to an inaccurate screening. Recently, 3D in vitro spheroids have emerged in the preclinical testing stage of nanomedicines due to their ability to mimic key features of the in vivo solid tumors. Investigate the chemo-photothermal therapy mediated by Doxorubicin and IR780 loaded sulfobetaine methacrylate functionalized nanoparticles, for the first time, using monolayers of cancer cells and spheroids. In the 2D cancer models, the nanomaterials' mediated photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, and chemo-photothermal therapy reduced cancer cells' viability to about 58%, 29%, and 1%, respectively. Interestingly, when the nanomaterials' mediated photothermal therapy is tested on 3D spheroids, no cytotoxic effect is noticed. In contrast, the nanostructures' induced chemotherapy decreased spheroids' viability to 42%. On the other hand, nanomaterials' mediated chemo-photothermal therapy diminished spheroids' viability to 16%, being the most promising therapeutic modality. These results demonstrate the importance of using 3D spheroids during the in vitro screening of single/combinatorial therapies mediated by nanomaterials.

pH-responsive Ag 2S nanodots loaded with heat shock protein 70 inhibitor for photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal cancer therapy. Acta Biomater 2020; 115:358-370.

Abstract
Heat-treated cancer cells have thermo-resistance due to the up-regulated levels of heat shock proteins (HSP) resulting in low therapeutic efficiency and ineffective ablation of tumors. In this work, we report pH-responsive Ag2S nanodots (Ag2S NDs) loaded with HSP70 inhibitor (QE-PEG-Ag2S) for enhanced photothermal cancer therapy. QE-PEG-Ag2S was easily prepared via self-assembly of hydrophobic Ag2S NDs, amphiphilic pH-responsive PEG5k-PAE10k polymer, and an HSP70 inhibitor quercetin (QE). QE-PEG-Ag2S has ideal water-solubility and biocompatibility, can rapidly enter cells, and preferentially accumulate in cell lysosomes. The slightly acidic environment of tumor cells and the acidity of lysosomes as well as the high temperature generated by photothermal therapy under irradiation of NIR light (808 nm) promote the release of the inhibitor molecules to reduce the heat resistance of cancer cells and improve the in vivo photothermal therapy efficiency. Moreover, QE-PEG-Ag2S has good photoacoustic imaging (PAI) ability; this QE-PEG-Ag2S concentration dependent signal can precisely follow the accumulation of the nanomaterials in tumors and dictate the correct time for light therapy. As a result, QE-PEG-Ag2S achieved complete tumor ablation effect with no recurrence when only irradiated with NIR light for 10 min. This approach offers a new approach for the theranostic applications of Ag2S NDs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this work, pH-responsive Ag2S nanodots loaded with the heat shock protein inhibitor for enhanced photothermal cancer therapy have been simply prepared via self-assembly process. This nanoagent possesses ideal water-solubility and biocompatibility, can rapidly enter cells, and preferentially accumulate in cell lysosomes. The acidic environment of tumor cells and the acidity of lysosomes, as well as the high temperature generated by photothermal therapy under irradiation of NIR light promote the release of the inhibitor molecules from the nanoagent to improve the in vivo photothermal therapy efficiency. Moreover, the photoacoustic imaging (PAI) of the nanoagent can precisely follow the accumulation of the nanomaterials in tumors and dictate the light therapy time to guarantee the complete tumor ablation effect with no recurrence.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanostructures have aroused great interest among analytical and biological medicine researchers as a unique type of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanomaterial. However, reliable approaches for synthesizing yolk-shell nanostructures (YSNs) with mesoporous MnO2 shell still remain exciting challenges. Herein, a YSN (size, ∼75 nm) containing a mesoporous MnO2 shell and Er3+-doped upconversion/downconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) core with a large cavity is demonstrated for the first time. This nanostructure not only integrates diverse functional components including MnO2, UCNPs, and YSNs into one system but also endows a size-controllable hollow cavity and thickness-tunable MnO2 layers, which can load various guest molecules like photosensitizers, methylene blue (MB), and the anticancer drugs doxorubicin (DOX). NIR-II fluorescence and photoacoustic (PA) imaging from UCNP and MB, respectively, can monitor the enrichment of the nanomaterials in the tumors for guiding chemo-photodynamic therapy (PDT) in vivo. In the TME, degradation of the mMnO2 shell by H2O2 and GSH not only generates Mn2+ for tumor-specific T1-MR imaging but also releases O2 and drugs for tumor-specific treatment. The result confirmed that imaging-guided enhanced chemo-PDT combination therapy that benefited from the unique structural features of YSNs could substantially improve the therapeutic effectiveness toward malignant tumors compared to monotherapy.

Abstract
Local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-enhanced catalysis has brought a substantial amount of opportunities across various disciplines such as photocatalysis, photodetection, and photothermal therapeutics. Plasmon-induced photothermal and hot carriers effects have also been utilized to activate the enzyme-like reactions. Compared with natural enzymes, the relatively low catalytic performance of nanozymes severely hampered the potential applications in the field of biomedicine. For these issues mentioned above, herein, we demonstrate a highly efficient sulfite oxidase (SuOx) mimetic performance of plasmonic monolayer MoOx (ML-MoOx) upon LSPR excitation. We also established that the considerable photothermal effect and the injection of hot carriers induced by LSPR are responsible for promoting the SuOx activity of ML-MoOx. The high transient local temperature on the surface of ML-MoOx generated by the photothermal effect facilitates to impact the reaction velocity and feed the SuOx-like activity, while the generation of hot carriers which are suggested as predominant effects catalyzes the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate through significantly decreasing the activation energy for the SuOx-like reaction. These investigations present a contribution to the basic understanding of plasmon-enhanced enzyme-like reaction and provided an insight into the optimization of the SuOx mimetic performance of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of H2S to elemental sulfur is a low cost and highly efficient process for sulfur removal from H2S-containing hydrocarbon streams in medium scale (i.e. 0.2-10 ton sulfur/day) for environmental protection and prevention of emitting toxic gases to the atmosphere. In this research, in order to prepare a highly active and selective nanocatalyst for selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide, for the first time, molybdenum oxides were loaded uniformly over nitrogen- doped carbon nanotubes through incipient wetness impregnation. Different metal loadings including 5, 10, and 15 wt% Mo were considered in the synthesis procedure to achieve the optimized performance and provide complete environmental protection. The Mox/N-CNT nanocatalysts were thoroughly characterized via TEM, FE-SEM, XPS, N2 adsorption/desorption, and XRD techniques. The characterization methods confirmed that the Mo oxides nanoparticles were successfully distributed over the N-CNT support uniformly in nanoscale in which there was no sign of agglomeration. The catalytic experiments on Mox/N-CNT were performed in temperature range of 190-230 °C in which the feed gas was composed of 3000 ppm H2S and 1500 ppm O2. The results showed that the Mox/N-CNT samples were highly active at all considered temperatures providing the H2S conversion of almost 100% from which almost no H2S was emitted. Furthermore, by loading the Mo oxide over the N-CNT support, selectivity toward elemental sulfur was increased significantly at high temperatures (i.e. above 190 °C) suggesting that the progress of side reactions on the nanocatalyst has been minimized. The best result was obtained with the sample containing 15 wt% Mo at 230 °C providing the H2S conversion of 100% and selectivity of 89.7%. According to these results, Mo oxide/N-CNT is introduced as a potential candidate for catalytic H2S removal processes toward environmental protection in industrial plants.

Abstract
Nanogel-based nanoplatforms have become a tremendously promising system of drug delivery. Nanogels constructed by chemical crosslinking or physical self-assembly exhibit the ability to encapsulate hydrophilic or hydrophobic therapeutics, including but not limited to small-molecule compounds and proteins, DNA/RNA sequences, and even ultrasmall nanoparticles, within their 3D polymer network. The nanosized nature of the carriers endows them with a specific surface area and inner space, increasing the stability of loaded drugs and prolonging their circulation time. Reactions or the cleavage of chemical bonds in the structure of drug-loaded nanogels have been shown to trigger the controlled or sustained drug release. Through the design of specific chemical structures and different methods of production, nanogels can realize diverse responsiveness (temperature-sensitive, pH-sensitive and redox-sensitive), and enable the stimuli-responsive release of drugs in the microenvironments of various diseases. To improve therapeutic outcomes and increase the precision of therapy, nanogels can be modified by specific ligands to achieve active targeting and enhance the drug accumulation in disease sites. Moreover, the biomembrane-camouflaged nanogels exhibit additional intelligent targeted delivery features. Consequently, the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents, as well as the combinational therapy strategy, result in the improved efficacy of disease treatments, though the introduction of a multifunctional nanogel-based drug delivery system.

Abstract
Combining hyperthermia with other therapies holds a great potential for improving cancer treatment. In this approach, the increase in the body temperature can exert a therapeutic effect on cells and/or enhance the effectiveness of anticancer agents. However, the conventional methodologies available to induce hyperthermia cannot confine a high temperature increase to the tumor-site while maintaining healthy tissues unexposed and ensuring minimal invasiveness. To overcome these limitations, combination photothermal therapy (PTT) mediated by graphene family nanomaterials (GFN) has been showing promising results. Such is owed to the ability of GFN to accumulate at the tumor site and convert near infrared light into heat, enabling a hyperthermia with a high spatial-temporal resolution. Furthermore, GFN can also incorporate different therapeutic agents on their structure for delivery purposes to cancer cells. In this way, the combination PTT mediated by GFN can result in an improved therapeutic effect. In this review, the combination of GFN mediated PTT with chemo-, photodynamic-, gene-, radio-, and immuno-therapies is examined. Furthermore, the main parameters that influence these types of combination approaches are also analyzed, with emphasis on the photothermal potential of GFN and on the vascular and cellular effects produced by the temperature increase mediated by GFN.
