Abstract
Nanozymes, as nanomaterials with natural enzyme activities, have been widely applied to deliver various therapeutic agents to synergistically combat the progression of malignant tumors. However, currently common inorganic nanozyme-based drug delivery systems still face challenges such as suboptimal biosafety, inadequate stability, and inferior tumor selectivity. Herein, a super-stable amino acid-based metallo-supramolecular nanoassembly (FPIC NPs) with peroxidase (POD)- and glutathione oxidase (GSHOx)-like activities was fabricated via Pt4+-driven coordination co-assembly of l-cysteine derivatives, the chemotherapeutic drug curcumin (Cur), and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG). The superior POD- and GSHOx-like activities could not only catalyze the decomposition of endogenous hydrogen peroxide into massive hydroxyl radicals, but also deplete the overproduced glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells to weaken intracellular antioxidant defenses. Meanwhile, FPIC NPs would undergo degradation in response to GSH to specifically release Cur, causing efficient mitochondrial damage. In addition, FPIC NPs intrinsically enable fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging to visualize tumor accumulation of encapsulated ICG in real time, thereby determining an appropriate treatment time point for tumoricidal photothermal (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT). In vitro and in vivo findings demonstrated the quadruple orchestration of catalytic therapy, chemotherapeutics, PTT, and PDT offers conspicuous antineoplastic effects with minimal side reactions. This work may provide novel ideas for designing supramolecular nanoassemblies with multiple enzymatic activities and therapeutic functions, allowing for wider applications of nanozymes and nanoassemblies in biomedicine.

Abstract
The various kinds of nanocarriers (NCs) have been explored for the delivery of therapeutics designed for the management of skin manifestations. The NCs are considered as one of the promising approaches for the skin delivery of therapeutics attributable to sustained release and enhanced skin penetration. Despite the extensive applications of the NCs, the challenges in their delivery via skin barrier (majorly stratum corneum) have persisted. To overcome all the challenges associated with the delivery of NCs, the microneedle (MN) technology has emerged as a beacon of hope. Programmable drug release, being painless, and its minimally invasive nature make it an intriguing strategy to circumvent the multiple challenges associated with the various drug delivery systems. The integration of positive traits of NCs and MNs boosts therapeutic effectiveness by evading stratum corneum, facilitating the delivery of NCs through the skin and enhancing their targeted delivery. This review discusses the barrier function of skin, the importance of MNs, the types of MNs, and the superiority of NC-loaded MNs. We highlighted the applications of NC-integrated MNs for the management of various skin ailments, combinational drug delivery, active targeting, in vivo imaging, and as theranostics. The clinical trials, patent portfolio, and marketed products of drug/NC-integrated MNs are covered. Finally, regulatory hurdles toward benchtop-to-bedside translation, along with promising prospects needed to scale up NC-integrated MN technology, have been deliberated. The current review is anticipated to deliver thoughtful visions to researchers, clinicians, and formulation scientists for the successful development of the MN-technology-based product by carefully optimizing all the formulation variables.

Abstract
The combination of phototherapy and chemotherapy (chemo−photo combination therapy) is an excellent attempt for tumor treatment. The key requirement of this technology is the high drug-loading nanomedicines, which can load either chemotherapy drugs or phototherapy agents at the same nanomedicines and simultaneously deliver them to tumors, and play a multimode therapeutic role for tumor treatment. These nanomedicines have high drug-loading efficiency (>30%) and good tumor combination therapeutic effect with important clinical application potential. Although there are many reports of high drug-loading nanomedicines for tumor therapy at present, systematic analyses on those nanomedicines remain lacking and a comprehensive review is urgently needed. In this review, we systematically analyze the current status of developed high drug-loading nanomedicines for tumor chemo−photo combination therapy and summarize their types, methods, drug-loading properties, in vitro and in vivo applications. The shortcomings of the existing high drug-loading nanomedicines for tumor chemo−photo combination therapy and the possible prospective development direction are also discussed. We hope to attract more attention for researchers in different academic fields, provide new insights into the research of tumor therapy and drug delivery system and develop these nanomedicines as the useful tool for tumor chemo−photo combination therapy in the future.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, affecting more than 2.1 million people across the globe every year. A very high occurrence and mortality rate of lung cancer have prompted active research in this area with both conventional and novel forms of therapies including the use of nanomaterials based drug delivery agents. Specifically, the unique physico-chemical and biological properties of porous nanomaterials have gained significant momentum as drug delivery agents for delivering a combination of drugs or merging diagnosis with targeted therapy for cancer treatment. This review focuses on the emergence of nano-porous materials for drug delivery in lung cancer. The review analyses the currently used nanoporous materials, including inorganic, organic and hybrid porous materials for delivering drugs for various types of therapies, including chemo, radio and phototherapy. It also analyses the selected research on stimuli-responsive nanoporous materials for drug delivery in lung cancer before summarizing the various findings and projecting the future of emerging trends. This review provides a strong foundation for the current status of the research on nanoporous materials, their limitations and the potential for improving their design to overcome the unique challenges of delivering drugs for the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
The implementation of cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) plays a key role in conjunction with surgical resection in preventing bladder cancer progression and recurrence. However, the significant dose-dependent toxic side effects of NAC are still a major challenge. To solve this problem, we developed a photoenhanced cancer chemotherapy (PECC) strategy based on AIEgen ((E)-3-(2-(2-(5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)thiophen-2-yl)vinyl)-1,1-dimethyl-1H-3λ4-benzo[e]indol-3-yl)propane-1-sulfonate), which is abbreviated as BITT. Multifunctional BITT@BSA-DSP nanoparticles (NPs) were employed with an albumin-based nanocarrier decorated with the cisplatin(IV) prodrug and loaded to produce strong near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIR FLI), and they exhibited good photoenhancement performance via photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). In vitro results demonstrated that BITT@BSA-DSP NPs could be efficiently taken up by bladder cancer cells and reduced to release Pt (II) under reductase, ensuring the chemotherapy effect. Furthermore, both in vitro and in vivo evaluation verified that the integration of NIR FL imaging-guided PECC efficiently promoted the sensitivity of bladder cancer to cisplatin chemotherapy with negligible side effects. This work provides a promising strategy to enhance the sensitivity of multiple cancers to chemotherapy drugs and even achieve effective treatments for drug-resistant cancers.

Abstract
One of the primary cancer treatment modalities is chemotherapy. Unfortunately, traditional anti-cancer drugs are often not selective and cause damage to healthy cells, leading to serious side effects for patients. For this reason more targeted therapeutics and drug delivery methods are being developed. The effectiveness of new treatments is initially determined via in vitro cell viability assays, which determine the IC 50 of the drug. However, these assays are known to result in estimates of IC 50 that depend on the measurement time, possibly resulting in over- or under-estimation of the IC 50 . Here, we test the possibility of using cell growth curves and fitting of mathematical models to determine the IC 50 as well as the maximum efficacy of a drug ( ε max ). We measured cell growth of MCF-7 and HeLa cells in the presence of different concentrations of doxorubicin and fit the data with a logistic growth model that incorporates the effect of the drug. This method leads to measurement time-independent estimates of IC 50 and ε max , but we find that ε max is not identifiable. Further refinement of this methodology is needed to produce uniquely identifiable parameter estimates.

Abstract
Combined antitumor therapies based on nanomedicines have shown efficacy in various tumor models in recent years, overcoming the disadvantages of inefficiency and undesired toxicity of traditional therapies. Herein, we present a copper sulfide- and doxorubicin-loaded gold nanorods@mesoporous SiO2 multifunctional nanocomposite (AuNR@mSiO2@DOX-CuxS-PEG) to integrate chemotherapy, the photothermal properties of AuNRs, and the photodynamic properties of CuxS into a single nanoplatform based on hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic attraction. Upon near-infrared light irradiation, the AuNR@mSiO2@DOX-CuxS-PEG nanocomposites exhibit a synergistic therapeutic effect and inhibit the in situ tumor growth and lung metastasis in a melanoma model. This occurs because of the high photothermal conversion efficiency, boosted intracellular reactive oxygen species production, and excellent doxorubicin (DOX) release, as well as an induced tumor-specific immune response. The inspired antitumor immunity was confirmed by elevated infiltration of activated T cells in tumor tissues and improved maturation and activation of dendritic cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes. This study highlights the superior antitumor therapeutic effect elicited by a multifunctional nanoplatform for skin with in situ melanoma and lung metastasis inhibition, indicating its satisfactory clinical application prospects.

Abstract
Cancer is currently a major threat to public health, being among the principal causes of death to the global population. With carcinogenesis mechanisms, cancer invasion, and metastasis remaining blurred, cancer diagnosis and novel drug delivery approaches should be developed urgently to enable management and treatment. A dream break-through would be a non-invasive instantaneous monitoring of cancer initiation and progression to fast-track diagnosis for timely specialist treatment decisions. These innovations would enhance the established treatment protocols, unlimited by evasive biological complexities during tumorigenesis. It is therefore contingent that emerging and future scientific technologies be equally biased towards such innovations by exploiting the apparent properties of new developments and materials especially nanomaterials. CNCs as nanomaterials have undisputable physical and excellent biological properties that enhanced their interest as biomedical materials. This article therefore highlights CNCs utility in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Their extraction, properties, modification, in-vivo/in-vitro medical applications, biocompatibility, challenges and future perspectives are precisely discussed.

Abstract
The development of smart size-tunable drug delivery nanoplatform enables the solving of the paradox of inconsistent size-dependence of high tumor accumulation and deep penetration during its delivery process, thus achieving superior cancer treatment efficacy. Herein, we report a size-shrinkable nanomicelle complex system with an initial size of 101 nm enabling effective retention around the tumor periphery and could destruct to ultrasmall nanomicelles triggered by a near-infrared (NIR) laser to realize the deep tumor penetration. The nanomicelle system is consisted of an upper critical solution temperature (UCST)-type block copolymer poly(acrylamide-acrylonitrile)-polyethylene glycol-lipoic acid (p(AAm-co-AN)-g-PEG-LA) encapsulating gold nanorods. Upon the irradiation of the NIR laser at the tumor site, gold nanorods could convert the light energy to heat energy, realizing the photothermal ablation of superficial tumor tissue. Concurrently, the large micelles split into a cascade of ultrasmall micelles (∼7 nm), which could easily penetrate into the deep site of the tumor and achieve the in situ "on-demand" release of the loaded drug to exert superior combined photothermal-chemotherapy of cancer. By the precise manipulation of laser, the micelle complex system realized the hierarchical killing from the superficial-to-deep tumor and achieved almost complete tumor growth inhibition on the established xenograft liver tumor mice model.

Abstract
Despite that great progression has been made in nanoparticulate drug delivery systems (nano-DDS), multiple drug delivery dilemmas still impair the delivery efficiency of nanomedicines. Rational design of smart transformable nano-DDS based on the in vivo drug delivery process represents a promising strategy for overcoming delivery obstacle of nano-DDS. In recent years, tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing smart transformable anticancer nanomedicines. Herein, we provide a review to outline the advances in this emerging field. First, smart size-reducible nanoparticles (NPs) for deep tumor penetration are summarized, including carrier degradation-induced, protonation-triggered and photobleaching-induced size reduction. Second, emerging transformable nanostructures for various therapeutic applications are discussed, including prolonging tumor retention, reversing drug-resistance, inhibiting tumor metastasis, preventing tumor recurrence and non-pharmaceutical therapy. Third, shell-detachable nanocarriers are introduced, focusing on chemical bonds breaking-initiated, charge repulsion-mediated and exogenous stimuli-triggered shell detachment approaches. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges of transformable nanomedicines in clinical cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Photo-chemotherapy presents promising therapeutic effects in cancer treatment. Photo-thermal and chemotherapeutic agents are generally delivered independently or jointly by drug carriers, such as polymer micelles. A polymer micelle is one type of widely researched drug carrier. However, there is a disassembly risk for polymer micelles under excessive dilution in blood circulation, leading to the premature release of payloads from the micelles and finally resulting in undesirable toxic side effects. Herein, amino-PEG decorated copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) with photothermal effect were applied as a cross-linker to enhance polymeric micelles' stability and to provide photothermal therapy in the meanwhile. The micelles were prepared using a pH/reductive responsive polymer, poly(ε-caprolactone)-ss-poly(2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate/glycidyl methacrylate/2-methylacrylloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (PCL-SS-P(DPA/GMA/MP)), abbreviated as DGM. Cross-linked micelles (DGM-CuS) exhibited high photothermal transformation efficiency and excellent stability against dilution, as well as pH and redox responsive drug release. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, the cell cytotoxicity of doxorubicin-loaded micelles DGM-CuS@DOX and DGM-CuS@DOX-P (DGM-CuS@DOX modified by peptides) increased by 17.1 times and 69.2 times correspondingly compared to that without laser irradiation. All of the solid 4T1 tumors disappeared, and tumor metastases were merely observed in the major organs of the tumor-bearing mice after administration of DGM-CuS@DOX and DGM-CuS@DOX-P with irradiation. In this synergistic therapy system, CuS NPs play double roles of a photothermal agent and a micelle cross-linker. The strategy of utilizing nanoparticles as cross-linkers is newly reported, which offers new insight for combination therapy.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been a big challenge in exploring new hybrid materials by intercalating inorganic, organic, or bio molecules into their lamellar lattice, those which often showed dual functions from each other or new mutative properties. Recently, nano-bio convergence technology becomes one of the most extensively studied research fields in the view point of developing advanced drugs and diagnostic agents to fight against disease and eventually to improve the lives of human beings. Therefore, LDH as one of the nanomaterials have been intensively investigated not only as biocompatible drug delivery vehicle for cancer chemotherapy but also as diagnostic and imaging agents. In the present review, we have attempted to summarize theranostic functions of drug-LDH hybrid nanoparticles including their synthetic methods, physico-chemical and biological properties, and their unique mechanism overcoming drug resistance, and targeting properties based on in vitro and finally in vivo results. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > Diagnostic Nanodevices Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT), as a promising noninvasive therapeutic modality, has received ever-increasing attention in recent years. Its specialized chemical agents, named sonosensitizers, are activated by low-intensity US to produce lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) for oncotherapy. Compared with phototherapeutic strategies, SDT provides many noteworthy opportunities and benefits, such as deeper penetration depth, absence of phototoxicity, and fewer side effects. Nevertheless, previous studies have also demonstrated its intrinsic limitations. Thanks to the facile engineering nature of nanotechnology, numerous novel nanoplatforms are being applied in this emerging field to tackle these intrinsic barriers and achieve continuous innovations. In particular, the combination of SDT with other treatment strategies has demonstrated a superior efficacy in improving anticancer activity relative to that of monotherapies alone. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the nanomaterial-assisted combinational sonodynamic cancer therapy applications. Herein, the design principles in achieving synergistic therapeutic effects based on nanomaterial engineering methods are highlighted. The ultimate goals are to stimulate the design of better-quality combined sonodynamic treatment schemes and provide innovative ideas for the perspectives of SDT in promoting its future transformation to clinical application.

Abstract
Chlorophylls, which are chlorin-type photosensitizers, are known as the key building blocks of nature and are fundamental for solar energy metabolism during the photosynthesis process. In this regard, the utilization of bioinspired chlorin analogs as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy constitutes an evolutionary topic of research. Moreover, carbon nanomaterials have been widely applied in photodynamic therapy protocols due to their optical characteristics, good biocompatibility, and tunable systematic toxicity. Herein, we review the literature related to the applications of chlorin-based photosensitizers that were functionalized onto carbon nanomaterials for photodynamic and photothermal therapies against cancer. Rather than a comprehensive review, we intended to highlight the most important and illustrative examples over the last 10 years.

Abstract
In this work, we exploit the versatile function of cationic phosphonium-conjugated polythiophenes to develop multifunctional platforms for imaging and combined therapy (siRNA delivery and photodynamic therapy). The photophysical properties (absorption, emission and light-induced generation of singlet oxygen) of these cationic polythiophenes were found to be sensitive to molecular weight. Upon light irradiation, low molecular weight cationic polythiophenes were able to light-sensitize surrounding oxygen into reactive oxygen species (ROS) while the highest were not due to its aggregation in aqueous media. These polymers are also fluorescent, allowing one to visualize their intracellular location through confocal microscopy. The most promising polymers were then used as vectors for siRNA delivery. Due to their cationic and amphipathic features, these polymers were found to effectively self-assemble with siRNA targeting the luciferase gene and deliver it in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells expressing luciferase, leading to 30-50% of the gene-silencing effect. In parallel, the photodynamic therapy (PDT) activity of these cationic polymers was restored after siRNA delivery, demonstrating their potential for combined PDT and gene therapy.
