Abstract
Despite the investment in platinum drugs research, cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are still the only Pt-based compounds used as first line treatments for several cancers, with a few other compounds being approved for administration in some Asian countries. However, due to the severe and worldwide impact of oncological diseases, there is an urge for improved chemotherapeutic approaches. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical application of platinum complexes is hindered by their inherent toxicity and acquired resistance. Nanodelivery systems rose as a key strategy to overcome these challenges, with recognized versatility and ability towards improving the safety, bioavailability and efficacy of the available drugs. Among the known nanocarriers, organic systems have been widely applied, taking advantage of their potential as drug vehicles. Researchers have mainly focused on the development of lipidic and polymeric carriers, including supramolecular structures, with an overall improvement of encapsulated platinum complexes. Herein, an overview of recent trends and strategies is presented, with the main focus on the encapsulation of platinum compounds into organic nanocarriers, showcasing the evolution in the design and development of these promising systems. This comprehensive review highlights formulation methods as well as characterization procedures, providing insights that may be helpful for the development of novel platinum nanocarriers aiming at future pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been extensively exploited in tumor treatment, leading to numerous innovative strategies for cancer therapy. While nanomedicines present immense potential, their application in cancer therapy is characterized by significant complexity and unpredictability, especially regarding biocompatibility and anticancer efficiency. These considerations underscore the essential need for the development of ex vivo research models, which provide invaluable insights and understanding into the biosafety and efficacy of nanomedicines in oncology. Fortunately, the emergence of organoid technology offers a novel approach to the preclinical evaluation of the anticancer efficacy of nanomedicines in vitro. Hence, in this study, we constructed intestine and hepatocyte organoid models (Intestine-orgs and Hep-orgs) for assessing intestinal and hepatic toxicity at the microtissue level. We utilized three typical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and MIL-125, as nanomedicines to further detect their interactions with organoids. Subsequently, the MIL-125 with biocompatibility loaded methotrexate (MTX), forming the nanomedicine (MIL-125-PEG-MTX), indicated a high loading efficiency (82%) and a well-release capability in an acid microenvironment. More importantly, the anticancer effect of the nanomedicine was investigated using an in vitro patient-derived organoids (PDOs) model, achieving inhibition rates of 48% and 78% for PDO-1 and PDO-2, respectively, demonstrating that PDOs could predict clinical response and facilitate prospective therapeutic selection. These achievements presented great potential for organoid-based ex vivo models for nano theragnostic evaluation in biosafety and function.

Abstract
The application of nanotechnology in biological and medical fields have resulted in the creation of new devices, supramolecular systems, structures, complexes, and composites. Dendrimers are relatively new nanotechnological polymers with unique features; they are globular in shape, with a topological structure formed by monomeric subunit branches diverging to the sides from the central nucleus. This review analyzes the main features of dendrimers and their applications in biology and medicine regarding cancer treatment. Dendrimers have applications that include drug and gene carriers, antioxidant agents, imaging agents, and adjuvants, but importantly, dendrimers can create complex nanosized constructions that combine features such as drug/gene carriers and imaging agents. Dendrimer-based nanosystems include different metals that enhance oxidative stress, polyethylene glycol to provide biosafety, an imaging agent (a fluorescent, radioactive, magnetic resonance imaging probe), a drug or/and nucleic acid that provides a single or dual action on cells or tissues. One of major benefit of dendrimers is their easy release from the body (in contrast to metal nanoparticles, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes), allowing the creation of biosafe constructions. Some dendrimers are already clinically approved and are being used as drugs, but many nanocomplexes are currently being studied for clinical practice. In summary, dendrimers are very useful tool in the creation of complex nanoconstructions for personalized nanomedicine. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > Diagnostic Nanodevices Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Chemo-immunotherapy has made significant progress in cancer treatment. However, the cancer cell self-defense mechanisms, including cell cycle checkpoint and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) upregulation, have greatly hindered the therapeutic efficacy. Herein, norcantharidin (NCTD)-platinum (Pt) codelivery nanoparticles (NC-NP) with tumor-sensitive release profiles are designed to overcome the self-defense mechanisms via synergistic chemo-immunotherapy. NC-NP remains stable under normal physiological conditions but quickly releases 1,2-diaminocyclohexane-platinum(II) (DACHPt, a parent drug of oxaliplatin) and NCTD in response to the tumor acidity. NCTD inhibits protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity to relieve cell cycle arrest and downregulates the tumor PD-L1 expression to disrupt the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 interaction, synergistically enhancing Pt-based chemotherapy and immunogenic cell death-induced immunotherapy. As a result, NC-NP exhibits potent synergistic cytotoxicity and promotes T cell recruitment to generate robust antitumor immune responses. The dual synergism exhibits potent antitumor activity against orthotopic 4T1 tumors, providing a promising chemo-immunotherapy paradigm for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) drugs are widely used in clinic for cancer therapy, but their therapeutic outcomes are significantly compromised by severe side effects and acquired drug resistance. With the emerging immunotherapy and imaging-guided cancer therapy, precise delivery and release of Pt drugs have drawn great attention these days. The targeting delivery of Pt drugs can greatly increase the accumulation at tumor sites, which ultimately enhances antitumor efficacy. Further, with the combination of Pt drugs and other theranostic agents into one nanosystem, it not only possesses excellent synergistic efficacy but also achieves real-time monitoring. In this review, after the introduction of Pt drugs and their characteristics, the recent progress of polymeric nanosystems for efficient delivery of Pt drugs is summarized with an emphasis on multi-modal synergistic therapy and imaging-guided Pt-based cancer treatment. In the end, the conclusions and future perspectives of Pt-encapsulated nanosystems are given.

Abstract
Thermosensitive liposomes (TSL) have been used for localized temperature-responsive release of chemotherapeutics into solid cancers, with a minimum of one invention currently in clinical trials (phase III). In this study, TSL was designed using a lipid blend comprising 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC), cholesterol, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[maleimide(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG-2000) (molar ratio of 88:9:2.8:0.2). Either nedaplatin (ND) or p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene-nedaplatin was encapsulated in the aqueous inner layer of TSL to form (ND-TSL) or p-SC4-ND-TSL, respectively. The hydrophobic platinum-based drug picoplatin (P) was loaded into the external lipid bilayer of the TSL to develop P-TSL. The three nanosystems were studied in terms of size, PDI, surface charge, and on-shelf stability. Moreover, the entrapment efficiency (EE%) and release % at 37 and 40 °C were evaluated. In a 30 min in vitro release study, the maximum release of ND, p-SC4-ND, and picoplatin at 40 °C reached 74, 79, and 75%, respectively, compared to approximately 10% at 37 °C. This demonstrated temperature-triggered drug release from the TSL in all three developed systems. The designed TSL exhibited significant in vitro anticancer activity at 40 °C when tested on human mammary gland/breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231). The cytotoxicity of ND-TSL, p-SC4-ND-TSL, and P-TSL at 40 °C was approximately twice those observed at 37 °C. This study suggests that TSL is a promising nanoplatform for the temperature-triggered release of platinum-based drugs into cancer cells.

Abstract
Monitoring intracellular administration of non-luminescent anticancer drugs like cisplatin is a very challenging task in cancer research. Perylenebisimide (PBI) chromophore tagged fluorescent ABC-triblock polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoscaffold was engineered having carboxylic acid blocks for the chemical conjugation of cisplatin at the core and hydrophilic PEG blocks at the periphery. The amphiphilic ABC triblock Pt-prodrug was self-assembled into < 200 nm nanoparticles and exhibited excellent shielding against drug detoxification by the glutathione (GSH) species in the cytosol. In vitro drug release studies confirmed that the Pt-prodrug was stable at extracellular conditions and the PCL block exclusively underwent lysosomal-enzymatic biodegradation at the intracellular level to release the cisplatin drug in the active-form for accomplishing more than 90% cell growth inhibition. Confocal microscopic imaging of the red-fluorescence signals from the perylene chromophores established the simultaneous monitoring and delivery aspects of Pt-prodrug, and the proof-of-concept was successfully demonstrated in breast and cervical cancer cell lines.
