Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an emerging cancer treatment, requires the development of highly desirable photosensitizers (PSs) with integrated functional groups to achieve enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Coordination-driven self-assembly (CDSA) would provide an alternative approach for combining multiple PSs synergistically. Here, we demonstrate a simple yet powerful strategy of combining conventional chromophores (tetraphenylethylene, porphyrin, or Zn-porphyrin) with pyridinium salt PSs together through condensation reactions, followed by CDSA to construct a series of novel metallo-supramolecular PSs (S1-S3). The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is dramatically enhanced by the direct combination of two different PSs, and further reinforced in the subsequent ensembles. Among all the ensembles, S2 with two porphyrin cores shows the highest ROS generation efficiency, specific interactions with lysosome, and strong emission for probing cells. Moreover, the cellular and living experiments confirm that S2 has excellent PDT efficacy, biocompatibility, and biosafety. As such, this study will enable the development of more efficient PSs with potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy based on fluorescence illumination of subcellular organelles and in situ bursts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been recognized as a promising strategy for cancer theranostics. However, the short life of ROS and unclarified anticancer mechanism seriously restrict the application. Herein, we rationally designed and facilely synthesized a 2,6-dimethylpyridine-based triphenylamine (TPA) derivative TPA-DMPy with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features and production of type-I ROS. Except for its selective binding to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), TPA-DMPy, in synergy with glibenclamide, a medicinal agent used against diabetes, induced significant apoptosis of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, TPA-DMPy greatly incited the release of calcium from ER upon light irradiation to further aggravate the depolarization of ER membrane potential caused by glibenclamide, thus inducing fatal ER stress and crosstalk between ER and mitochondria. Our study extends the biological design and application of AIE luminogens and provides new insights into discovering novel anticancer targets and agents.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies have made significant progress in cancer treatment. However, tumor adjuvant therapy still faces challenges due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of cancer, genomic instability, and the formation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Functional materials possess unique biological properties such as long circulation times, tumor-specific targeting, and immunomodulation. The combination of functional materials with natural substances and nanotechnology has led to the development of smart biomaterials with multiple functions, high biocompatibilities, and negligible immunogenicities, which can be used for precise cancer treatment. Recently, subcellular structure-targeting functional materials have received particular attention in various biomedical applications including the diagnosis, sensing, and imaging of tumors and drug delivery. Subcellular organelle-targeting materials can precisely accumulate therapeutic agents in organelles, considerably reduce the threshold dosages of therapeutic agents, and minimize drug-related side effects. This review provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the research progress in subcellular organelle-targeted cancer therapy based on functional nanomaterials. Moreover, it explains the challenges and prospects of subcellular organelle-targeting functional materials in precision oncology. The review will serve as an excellent cutting-edge guide for researchers in the field of subcellular organelle-targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
Organelle-targeted therapy guided by fluorescence imaging is promising for precise cancer treatment. However, most current organelle-targeted therapeutics can only destruct single organelles, which suffer from limited therapeutic efficacy. To address this challenge, a photoactivatable probe was developed for sequential photodynamic destruction of multiorganelles in cancer cells, including lysosomes, lipid droplets, and mitochondria. This photoactivatable probe not only exhibits efficient cancer cell eradication in vitro but also can suppress tumor growth in vivo. Simultaneously, the photoactivatable probe enables sequential destruction of multiple organelles in cancer cells, which can be observed in situ through the conversion of green-to-red fluorescence facilitated by a photooxidative dehydrogenation reaction. We believe this photoactivatable probe for sequential destruction of multiple organelles associated with fluorescence color conversion provides a new strategy for cancer treatment with greatly improved efficacy.
