Abstract
Theranostic systems, which integrate therapy and diagnosis into a single platform, have gained significant attention as a promising approach for noninvasive cancer treatment. The field of image-guided therapy has revolutionized real-time tumor detection, and within this domain, plasmonic nanostructures have garnered significant attention. These structures possess unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), allowing for enhanced absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) range. By leveraging the heat generated from plasmonic nanoparticles upon NIR irradiation, target cancer cells can be effectively eradicated. This study introduces a plasmonic gold dogbone-nanorattle (AuDB NRT) structure that exhibits broad absorption in the NIR region and demonstrates a photothermal conversion efficiency of 35.29%. When exposed to an NIR laser, the AuDB NRTs generate heat, achieving a maximum temperature rise of 38 °C at a concentration of 200 μg/mL and a laser power density of 3 W/cm2. Additionally, the AuDB NRTs possess intrinsic electromagnetic hotspots that amplify the signal of a Raman reporter molecule, making them an excellent probe for surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based bioimaging of cancer cells. To improve the biocompatibility of the nanorattles, the AuDB NRTs were conjugated with mPEG-thiol and successfully encapsulated into cationic dextrin nanoparticles (CD NPs). Biocompatibility tests were performed on HEK 293 A and MCF-7 cell lines, revealing high cell viability when exposed to AuDB NRT-CD NPs. Remarkably, even at a low laser power density of 1 W/cm2, the application of the NIR laser resulted in a remarkable 80% cell death in cells treated with a nanocomposite concentration of 100 μg/mL. Further investigation elucidated that the cell death induced by photothermal heat followed an apoptotic mechanism. Overall, our findings highlight the significant potential of the prepared nanocomposite for cancer theranostics, combining effective photothermal therapy along with the ability to image cancer cells.

Abstract
As an endogenous catalytic treatment, chemodynamic therapy (CDT) was attracting considerable attention, but the weak catalytic efficiency of Fenton agents and the non-degradation of nanocarriers severely limited its development. In this work, a biodegradable bimetallic nanoreactor was developed for boosting CDT, in which Fe-doped hollow mesoporous manganese dioxide (HMnO2) was selected as nanocarrier, and the Fe/HMnO2@DOX-GOD@HA nanoprobe was constructed by loading doxorubicin (DOX) and modifying glucose oxidase (GOD) and hyaluronic acid (HA). The glutathione (GSH) responsive degradation of HMnO2 promoted the release of DOX, by which the release rate significantly increased to 96.6%. Moreover, by the GSH depletion, the reduction of Mn2+/Fe2+ achieved strong bimetallic Fenton efficiency, and the hydroxyl radicals (·OH) generation was further enhanced using the self-supplying H2O2 of GOD. Through the active targeting recognition of HA, the bimetallic nanoreactor significantly enriched the tumor accumulation, by which the enhanced antitumor efficacy was realized. Thus, this work developed biodegradable bimetallic nanoreactor by consuming GSH and self-supplying H2O2, and provided a new paradigm for enhancing CDT.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and variable region characterized by hypoxia, low pH, high redox status, overexpression of enzymes, and high-adenosine triphosphate concentrations. In recent years, with the continuous in-depth study of nanomaterials, more and more TME-specific response nanomaterials are used for tumor treatment. However, the complexity of the TME causes different types of responses with various strategies and mechanisms of action. Aiming to systematically demonstrate the recent advances in research on TME-responsive nanomaterials, this work summarizes the characteristics of TME and outlines the strategies of different TME responses. Representative reaction types are illustrated and their merits and demerits are analyzed. Finally, forward-looking views on TME-response strategies for nanomaterials are presented. It is envisaged that such emerging strategies for the treatment of cancer are expected to exhibit dramatic trans-clinical capabilities, demonstrating the extensive potential for the diagnosis and therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Novel highly hydrophilic and biocompatible bismuth nanospheres with gold nanoparticles growing outside (Bi@Au nano-acanthospheres, Bi@Au NASs) were synthesized through a simple procedure, which demonstrated to be a promising photothermal agent owing to the ultrahigh photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 46.6 %). The as-prepared Bi@Au NASs showed excellent blood compatibility and fairly low cytotoxicity to human lung cancer A549 cells, as well as efficient photothermal ablation (PTA) therapy induced by a near-infrared laser. Under the 808 nm laser radiation, the tumour temperature could be elevated by ∼25 °C high enough to kill the cancer cells. Moreover, the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was successfully loaded in Bi@Au NASs with a loading content as high as 16.78 % and released under a pH sensitive release profile, a characteristic beneficial for intravenous delivery of DOX into cancer cells for chemotherapy. The presence of the Bi element enabled Bi@Au NASs to act as a favourable computed tomography (CT) contrast medium for CT imaging-guided tumour treatment. Compared with cancer treatment through either photothermal therapy or chemotherapy, the chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy using Bi@Au NASs as both a photothermal agent and a drug carrier has efficiently enhanced the in vitro and in vivo therapeutic effects in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted great attention as an anticancer treatment strategy. With the rapid development of nanomedicine, multifunctional inorganic nanophotothermal agents provide a new way to improve the effect of PTT. Herein, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-modified Bi nanosheets (Bi NSs) with good biocompatibility were synthesized by a facile redox and ball milling method and applied as a photothermal agent for the enhancement of PTT. Owing to the strong near-infrared absorption, Bi NSs exhibit high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 36.17%) under 808 nm laser irradiation and can serve as a nanotherapeutic agent for cancer therapy. In addition, in vitro cell safety analysis also suggests that the toxicity of BSA-modified Bi NSs is negligible. Upon 808 nm irradiation, the uptake ability of tumor cells to Bi NSs@BSA has been improved. Moreover, Bi NSs@BSA also can be used as a good contrast agent for CT imaging and then to observe the distribution of materials in the tumor site. Finally, Bi NSs@BSA-mediated PTT results show a high ablation rate of A549 tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. All results reveal that Bi NSs@BSA is a promising nanotherapeutic platform for PTT.

Abstract
Poor targeting of therapeutics leading to severe adverse effects on normal tissues is considered one of the obstacles in cancer therapy. To help overcome this, nanoscale drug delivery systems have provided an alternative avenue for improving the therapeutic potential of various agents and bioactive molecules through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Nanosystems with cancer-targeted ligands can achieve effective delivery to the tumor cells utilizing cell surface-specific receptors, the tumor vasculature and antigens with high accuracy and affinity. Additionally, stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms have also been considered as a promising and effective targeting strategy against tumors, as these nanoplatforms maintain their stealth feature under normal conditions, but upon homing in on cancerous lesions or their microenvironment, are responsive and release their cargoes. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the field of active targeting drug delivery systems and a number of stimuli-responsive release studies in the context of emerging nanoplatform development, and also discuss how this knowledge can contribute to further improvements in clinical practice.

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
Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) is a widely used polymer in a variety of consumer products and in medicine. PEGylation refers to the conjugation of PEG to drugs or nanoparticles to increase circulation time and reduce unwanted host responses. PEG is viewed as being well-tolerated, but previous studies have identified anti-PEG antibodies and so-called pseudoallergic reactions in certain individuals. The increased use of nanoparticles as contrast agents or in drug delivery, along with the introduction of mRNA vaccines encapsulated in PEGylated lipid nanoparticles has brought this issue to the fore. Thus, while these vaccines have proven to be remarkably effective, rare cases of anaphylaxis have been reported, and this has been tentatively ascribed to the PEGylated carriers, which may trigger complement activation in susceptible individuals. Here, we provide a general overview of the use of PEGylated nanoparticles for pharmaceutical applications, and we discuss the activation of the complement cascade that might be caused by PEGylated nanomedicines for a better understanding of these immunological adverse reactions.

Abstract
Cancer is a growing threat to human beings. Traditional treatments for malignant tumors usually involve invasive means to healthy human tissues, such as surgical treatment and chemotherapy. In recent years the use of specific stimulus-responsive materials in combination with some non-contact, non-invasive stimuli can lead to better efficacy and has become an important area of research. It promises to develop personalized treatment systems for four types of physical stimuli: light, ultrasound, magnetic field, and temperature. Nanomaterials that are responsive to these stimuli can be used to enhance drug delivery, cancer treatment, and tissue engineering. This paper reviews the principles of the stimuli mentioned above, their effects on materials, and how they work with nanomaterials. For this aim, we focus on specific applications in controlled drug release, cancer therapy, tissue engineering, and virus detection, with particular reference to recent photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic, magnetothermal, radiation, and other types of therapies. It is instructive for the future development of stimulus-responsive nanomaterials for these aspects.

Abstract
Phototherapy in the second near-IR (1000-1700 nm, NIR-II) window has achieved much progress because of its high efficiency and relatively minor side effects. In this paper, a new NIR-II responsive hollow magnetite nanocluster (HMNC) for targeted and imaging-guided cancer therapy is reported. The HMNC not only provides a hollow cavity for drug loading but also serves as a contrast agent for tumor-targeted magnetic resonance imaging. The acid-induced dissolution of the HMNCs can trigger a pH-responsive drug release for chemotherapy and catalyze the hydroxyl radical (·OH) formation from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide for chemodynamic therapy. Moreover, the HMNCs can adsorb and convert NIR-II light into local heat (photothermal conversion efficacy: 36.3%), which can accelerate drug release and enhance the synergistic effect of chemo-photothermal therapy. The HMNCs show great potential as a versatile nanoplatform for targeted imaging-guided trimodal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Metal-coordinated supramolecular nanoassemblies have recently attracted extensive attention as materials for cancer theranostics. Owing to their unique physicochemical properties, metal-coordinated supramolecular self-assemblies can bridge the boundary between traditional inorganic and organic materials. By tailoring the structural components of the metal ions and binding ligands, numerous multifunctional theranostic nanomedicines can be constructed. Metal-coordinated supramolecular nanoassemblies can modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus facilitating the development of TME-responsive nanomedicines. More importantly, TME-responsive organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials can be constructed in vivo by exploiting the metal-coordinated self-assembly of a variety of functional ligands, which is a promising strategy for enhancing the tumor accumulation of theranostic molecules. In this review, recent advancements in the design and fabrication of metal-coordinated supramolecular nanomedicines for cancer theranostics are highlighted. These supramolecular compounds are classified according to the order in which the coordinated metal ions appear in the periodic table. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of metal-coordinated supramolecular self-assemblies for both technical advances and clinical translation are discussed. In particular, the superiority of TME-responsive nanomedicines for in vivo coordinated self-assembly is elaborated, with an emphasis on strategies that enhance the accumulation of functional components in tumors for an ideal theranostic outcome.

Abstract
Of all the reaction oxygen species (ROS) therapeutic strategies, NIR light-induced photocatalytic therapy (PCT) based on semiconductor nanomaterials has attracted increasing attention. However, the photocatalysts suffer from rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs due to the narrow band gaps, which are greatly restricted in PCT application. Herein, Bi2 Se3 /Au heterostructured photocatalysts are fabricated to solve the problems by introducing Au nanoparticles (NPs) in situ on the surface of the hollow mesoporous structured Bi2 Se3 . Owing to the lower work function of Au NPs, the photo-induced electrons are easier to transfer and assemble on their surfaces, resulting in the increased separation of the electron-hole pairs with efficient ROS generation. Besides, Bi2 Se3 /Au heterostructures also enhance the photothermal efficiency due to the effective orbital overlaps with accelerated electron migrations according to density functional theory calculations. Moreover, the PLGA-PEG and the doxorubicin (DOX) are introduced for photothermal-triggered drug release in the system. The Bi2 Se3 /Au heterostructures also displays excellent infrared thermal (IRT) and computed tomography (CT) dual-modal imaging property for promising cancer diagnosis. Collectively, Bi2 Se3 /Au@PLGA-PEG-DOX exhibits prominent tumor inhibition effect based on synchronous PTT, PCT and chemotherapy triggered by NIR light for efficient antitumor treatment.

Abstract
The rapid development of drug nanocarriers has benefited from the surface hydrophilic polymers of particles, which has improved the pharmacokinetics of the drugs. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a kind of polymeric material with unique hydrophilicity and electrical neutrality. PEG coating is a crucial factor to improve the biophysical and chemical properties of nanoparticles and is widely studied. Protein adherence and macrophage removal are effectively relieved due to the existence of PEG on the particles. This review discusses the PEGylation methods of nanoparticles and related techniques that have been used to detect the PEG coverage density and thickness on the surface of the nanoparticles in recent years. The molecular weight (MW) and coverage density of the PEG coating on the surface of nanoparticles are then described to explain the effects on the biophysical and chemical properties of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanotheranostics have been widely explored for precision medicine. Here, we developed a pH/light dual-stimuli-responsive nanotheranostic agent for biological/physical dual-targeting photothermal-enhanced chemotherapy of U87MG tumor. This nanotheranostic agent was composed of the RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptide, melanin-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MMNs), doxorubicin (DOX), and indocyanine green (ICG), denoted as RMDI. The tumor accumulation of RMDI was simultaneously improved through biological active targeting by RGD and physical magnetic targeting by an external magnetic field at tumor tissues, which was proven by in vivo photoacoustic/magnetic resonance/fluorescence (PA/MR/FL) trimodal imaging. Under dual stimuli of the tumor acidic microenvironment and laser irradiation, both DOX and ICG were released in a controlled fashion, demonstrating impressive therapeutic outcomes against U87MG tumor both in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Owing to the synergistic photothermal/chemotherapy, the dual-stimuli-responsive and dual-targeting nanotheranostic agent completely ablated U87MG tumor in vivo without any tumor recurrence and biotoxicity. This nanotheranostic agent exhibited great potential in multimodal imaging-guided synergistic therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has prompted the development of hollow inorganic nanomedicine. These medicines are now widely investigated as photothermal-based therapies for various diseases due to their high loading capacity, tuneable wavelength, relatively small size and low density. We begin this review with a brief introduction, followed by a summary of the development of imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer treatment during the last three years (from 2017 to 2020). We then introduce the antibacterial effects of these medicines on some bacterial infections, in which the pathogenic bacteria can be killed by mild photothermal effects, ions and antibiotic release. Other diseases can also be treated using hollow inorganic photothermal agents. Specifically, we discuss the use of PTT for treating Alzheimer's disease, obesity and endometriosis. Finally, we share our perspectives on the current challenges and future prospects of using hollow inorganic materials in clinical PTT for various diseases.

Abstract
Poor prognosis of esophageal cancer is associated with limited clinical treatment efficacy and lack of targeted therapies. With advances in nanomedicine, nanoparticle drug delivery systems play increasingly important roles in tumor treatment by enabling the simultaneous delivery of multiple therapeutic agents. We here propose a novel nanovector for targeted combination gene therapy and chemotherapy in esophageal cancer. A novel lipid nanovector (EYLN) was designed to carry the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (Dox) and small interfering RNA against the lipid anabolic metabolism gene LPCAT1, which we previously showed to be significantly overexpressed in esophageal cancer tissues, and its interference inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of esophageal cancer cells. This vector, EYLN-Dox/siLPCAT1, was further coated with leukocyte membranes to obtain mEYLNs-Dox/siLPCAT1. The particle size of the coated nanovector was approximately 136 nm, and the surface zeta potential was -21.18 mV. Compared with EYLNs-Dox/siLPCAT1, mEYLNs-Dox/siLPCAT1 were more easily internalized by esophageal cancer cells due to the LFA-1 highly expressed leukocyte membrane coating and showed significant inhibition of the proliferation, migration, and metastasis of esophageal cancer cells, along with their LPCAT1 expression, through more effective delivery of the drugs. Moreover, the nanovectors showed improved blood circulation time, tissue distribution, tumor targeting, and tumor suppression in a mouse model. Thus, combining chemo and gene therapy with this new nanodelivery system achieved greater therapeutic efficacy, providing a new strategy for the treatment of esophageal cancer.
