Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with biocompatible and bio-friendly properties, exhibit intriguing potential for the drug delivery system and imaging-guided synergistic cancer theranostics. Even though tremendous attention has been attracted on MOFs-based therapeutics, which play a crucial role in therapeutic drugs, gene, and biomedical agents delivery of cancer therapy, they are often explored as simple nanocarriers without further "intelligent" functions. Herein, Fe-doped MOFs with CoP nanoparticles loading were rationally designed and synthesized for photothermal enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated treatment. Fe-ZIFs@CoP could generate efficient ROS through the Fenton reaction while depleting glutathione for amplifying oxidative stress. Particularly, due to the photothermal effect of Fe-ZIFs@CoP, the hyperthermia generated by as-synthesized Fe-ZIFs@CoP facilitated the advanced performance of the Fenton effect for a high amount of ROS generation. The promising "all-in-one" synergistic MOFs platform herein reported provides some prospects for future directions in this area.

Abstract
The clinical application of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated tumor treatment has been critically limited by inefficient ROS generation. Herein, we rationally synthesized and constructed the three-dimensional PdMo nanoflowers through a one-pot solvothermal reduction method for elaborately regulated peroxidase-like enzymatic activity and glutathione peroxidase-like enzymatic activity, to promote oxidation ROS evolvement and antioxidation glutathione depletion for achieving intensive ROS-mediated tumor therapy. The three-dimensional superstructure composed of two-dimensional nanosheet subunits can solve the issues by avoiding the appearance of tightly stacked crystalline nanostructures. Significantly, Mo is chosen as a second metal to alloy with Pd because of its more chemical valence and negative ionization energy than Pd for improved electron transfer efficiencies and enhanced enzyme-like activities. In addition, the photothermal effect generated by PdMo nanoflowers could also enhance its enzymatic activities. Thus, this work provides a promising paradigm for achieving highly ROS-mediated tumor therapeutic efficacy by regulating the multi-enzymatic activities of Pd-based nanoalloys.

Abstract
Magnetite-based nanozymes have attracted great interest for catalytic cancer therapy enabled by catalyzing hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to kill tumor cells. However, their therapeutic efficacies remain low due to insufficient •OH. Here, a light-responsive carbon-encapsulated magnetite nanodoughnuts (CEMNDs) with dual-catalytic activities for photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is reported. The CEMNDs can accumulate in tumor and get into tumor cells and effectively act as peroxidase to convert H2 O2 to •OH that causes tumor cell death. The CEMNDs also possess intrinsic glutathione oxidase-like activity that which catalyzes the oxidation of reduced glutathione and produce lipid peroxidase for enhanced catalytic therapy. Furthermore, the CEMNDs can absorb 1064 nm light to elevate local temperature and increase release of Fe ions for photothermal therapy and enhanced CDT respectively. The in vivo experiments in an aggressive and drug-resistant metastatic mouse model of triple negative breast cancer model demonstrate excellent synergistic anti-tumor function and no measurable systemic toxicity of CEMNDs.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles-induced testis damage at single-cell resolution: Depletion of spermatogonia reservoir and disorder of Sertoli cell homeostasis. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2023; 181:108292.

Abstract
The widespread application of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in our daily life has initiated an enhanced awareness of their biosafety concern. An incredible boom of evidence of organismal disorder has accumulated for ZnO NPs, yet there has been no relevant study at the single-cell level. Here, we profiled > 28,000 single-cell transcriptomes and assayed > 25,000 genes in testicular tissues from two healthy Sprague Dawley (SD) rats and two SD rats orally exposed to ZnO NPs. We identified 10 cell types in the rat testis. ZnO NPs had more deleterious effects on spermatogonia, Sertoli cells, and macrophages than on the other cell types. Cell-cell communication analysis indicated a sharp decrease of interaction intensity for all cell types except macrophages in the ZnO NPs group than in the control group. Interestingly, two distinct maturation states of spermatogonia were detected during pseudotime analysis, and ZnO NPs induced reservoir exhaustion of undifferentiated spermatogonia. Mechanically, ZnO NPs triggered fatty acid accumulation in GC-1 cells through protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα)/acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (Acox1) axis, contributing to cell apoptosis. In terms of Sertoli cells, downregulated genes were highly enriched for tight junction. In vitro and in vivo experiments verified that ZnO NPs disrupted blood-testis barrier formation and growth factors synthesis, which subsequently inhibited the proliferation and induced the apoptosis of spermatogonia. As for the macrophages, ZnO NPs activated oxidative stress of Raw264.7 cells through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway and promoted cell apoptosis through extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 pathway. Collectively, our work reveals the cell type-specific and cellularly heterogenetic mechanism of ZnO NPs-induced testis damage and paves the path for identifying putative biomarkers and therapeutics against this disorder.

Abstract
In this article, we provide an overview of the progress of scientists working to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Among the known methods, cancer treatment methods focusing on the synergistic action of nanoparticles and nanocomposites have been proposed and described. The application of composite systems will allow precise delivery of therapeutic agents to cancer cells without systemic toxicity. The nanosystems described could be used as a high-efficiency photothermal therapy system by exploiting the properties of the individual nanoparticle components, including their magnetic, photothermal, complex, and bioactive properties. By combining the advantages of the individual components, it is possible to obtain a product that would be effective in cancer treatment. The use of nanomaterials to produce both drug carriers and those active substances with a direct anti-cancer effect has been extensively discussed. In this section, attention is paid to metallic nanoparticles, metal oxides, magnetic nanoparticles, and others. The use of complex compounds in biomedicine is also described. A group of compounds showing significant potential in anti-cancer therapies are natural compounds, which have also been discussed.

Abstract
The prominence of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treating superficial skin cancer inspires innovative solutions for its congenitally deficient shadow penetration of the visible-light excitation. X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) has been proven to be a successful technique in reforming the conventional PDT for deep-seated tumors by creatively utilizing penetrating X-rays as external excitation sources and has witnessed rapid developments over the past several years. Beyond the proof-of-concept demonstration, recent advances in X-PDT have exhibited a trend of minimizing X-ray radiation doses to quite low values. As such, scintillating materials used to bridge X-rays and photosensitizers play a significant role, as do diverse well-designed irradiation modes and smart strategies for improving the tumor microenvironment. Here in this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of recent achievements in X-PDT and highlight trending efforts using low doses of X-ray radiation. We first describe the concept of X-PDT and its relationships with radiodynamic therapy and radiotherapy and then dissect the mechanism of X-ray absorption and conversion by scintillating materials, reactive oxygen species evaluation for X-PDT, and radiation side effects and clinical concerns on X-ray radiation. Finally, we discuss a detailed overview of recent progress regarding low-dose X-PDT and present perspectives on possible clinical translation. It is expected that the pursuit of low-dose X-PDT will facilitate significant breakthroughs, both fundamentally and clinically, for effective deep-seated cancer treatment in the near future.

Abstract
Stimulus-responsive ternary chalcogenide nanomaterials are regarded as promising 'all-in-one' nanotheranostics agents on account of their tunable band structures and multi-metal intrinsic properties. Herein, ultrasmall AgBiSe2 nanodots are prepared by a simple thermal injection method. It shows a narrow band gap of 0.91 eV and high absorption coefficient in the NIR-II biowindow, resulting in excellent photothermal performance. Under the irradiation of a 1064 nm laser, AgBiSe2 can induce the overexpression of intracellular heat shock protein (Hsp70) and cell apoptosis to inhibit the growth of tumor cells. The strong signal from CT/thermal imaging also provides guidance for tumor diagnosis. Importantly, AgBiSe2 can be rapidly excreted from the body, thus avoiding long term toxicity. This study presents the first biomedical application of AgBiSe2 nanodots in cancer treatment and extends the development of ternary chalcogenide-based semiconductor nanomedicine.

Abstract
Single therapy for tumor therapy always exerts limited ability for the constraints on the reaction condition and the unavoidable multidrug resistance, which seriously influences the therapy effect in the clinic. Herein, a combination treatment nanosystem (MP@PI) based on chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is constructed for triggering ferroptosis/pyroptosis, which is the metal-organic framework (MOF) modified with polydopamine (PDA) and IR820 to loaded with piperlongumine (PL). The MOF and PL respectively served as the iron source and H2O2 source, performing chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for eliciting ferroptosis. Meanwhile the iron source induces pyroptosis in tumor cells. PDA is not only pH responsive to release PL but also CDT-assisted which due to PDA consumes the glutathione to decrease the expression of glutathione peroxide 4. The photosensitizer IR820 exerts photothermal effects under near-infrared light and further facilitates the ferroptosis/pyroptosis. In addation, the MP@PI nanoplatform evokes the immune response in vivo and enhances the antitumor effects further. Overall, MP@PI is a kind of promising cancer therapy strategy through CDT and PTT combination, inducing ferroptosis and pyroptosis.

Abstract
Though amounts of attempts about nanomedicine for chemo-radiotherapy have been made, more efficient strategies for chemo-radio therapy enhancement still need to be studied and perfected. Herein, a 'yolk-shell'-like nanostructure (Bi2S3@mBixMnyOz nanosystem) was facilely constructed by directly using radiosensitizer Bi2S3 nanorods (NRs) as a partial sacrificial template. Then, the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) loaded PEGylated Bi2S3@mBixMnyOz nanosystem (PBmB-DOX) was constructed, which could realize tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive drug release for chemotherapy sensitivity enhancement. And the Bi2S3 NRs core could deposit more radiant energy to improve the radiotherapy sensitivity. Meanwhile, the compounds shell could catalyze H2O2 to generate O2, so as to alleviate tumor hypoxia for further chemo-radio therapy sensitization enhancement. More importantly, ferroptosis was participated in the process of PBmB-induced therapy via glutathione (GSH)-depletion mediated GPX4 inactivation, together with Mn ions induced chemodynamic therapy (Fenton-like reaction), which made additional contributions to increase the therapeutic efficacy. Last but not least, the GSH-stimulated degradation of compounds shell could contribute to self-enhanced T1-MR imaging activation, which allowed on-demand tumor diagnosis. In this work, the synthetic strategy that directly using Bi2S3 NRs as a partial sacrificial template to rapidly synthesize the 'yolk-shell'-like nanostructure for nanomedical application has rarely been reported before. And the in vitro and in vivo results suggest that our 'yolk-shell'-like PBmB-DOX nanosystem holds great promise to regulate TME for tumor-specific diagnosis and synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Tiny BaSO4 rod-based X-ray imaging is the most frequently-used method for clinical diagnosis of gastrointestinal motility disorders. The BaSO4 rods usually have a small size to pass through the gastrointestinal tract smoothly, but suffer from unavoidably low sensitivity. Herein, we developed Bi2S3 capsules as a high-performance X-ray contrast agent for gastrointestinal motility assessment for the first time. The Bi2S3 capsules were synthesized by the encapsulation of commercial Bi2S3 powder into commercial gelatin capsules and subsequent coating of ultraviolet-curable resin. The prepared Bi2S3 capsules showed excellent biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo and superior X-ray attenuation ability due to the large atomic number and high K-edge value of Bi. The developed Bi2S3 capsules can serve as a small but highly sensitive X-ray contrast agent to quantitatively assess gastrointestinal motility in a vincristine-induced gastrointestinal motility disorder model in vivo by X-ray, CT and spectral CT imaging successfully, solving the intrinsic drawbacks of clinically used BaSO4.

Abstract
Metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) are particularly important tools in tissue engineering-, drug carrier-, interventional therapy-, and biobased technologies. However, their complex and varied migration and transformation pathways, as well as their continuous accumulation in closed biological systems, cause various unpredictable toxic effects that threaten human and ecosystem health. Considerable experimental and theoretical efforts have been made toward understanding these cytotoxic effects, though more research on metal-based NPs integrated with clinical medicine is required. This review summarizes the mechanisms and evaluation methods of cytotoxicity and provides an in-depth analysis of the typical effects generated in the nervous, immune, reproductive, and genetic systems. In addition, the challenges and opportunities are discussed to enhance future investigations on safer metal-based NPs for practical commercial adoption.

Abstract
Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) is an available thermoelectric material with the lowest band gap among bismuth chalcogenides, revealing a broad application in photocatalysis. Unfortunately, its size and morphology related to a radio-catalysis property have rarely been explored. Herein, an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-assisted hydrothermal strategy was introduced to synthesize polytypic Bi2Te3 nanoplates (BT NPs) that exhibit size-dependent radio-sensitization and metabolism characteristics in vivo. By simply varying the molar ratio of EDTA/Bi3+ during the reaction, BT NPs with different sizes and morphologies were obtained. EDTA acting as chelating agent and "capping" agent contributed to the homogeneous growth of BT NPs by eliminating dangling bonds and reducing the surface energy of different facets. Further analyzing the size-dependent radio-sensitization mechanism, larger-sized BT NPs generated holes that preferentially catalyzed the conversion of OH- to ·OH when irradiated with X-rays, while the smaller-sized BT NPs exhibited faster decay kinetics producing higher 1O2 levels to enhance radiotherapy effects. A metabolomic analysis revealed that larger-sized BT NPs were oxidized into Bi(Ox) in the liver via a citrate cycle pathway, whereas smaller-sized BT NPs accumulated in the kidney and were excreted in urine in the form of ions by regulating the metabolism of glutamate. In a cervical cancer model, BT NPs combined with X-ray irradiation significantly antagonized tumor suppression through the promotion of apoptosis in tumor cells. Consequently, in addition to providing a prospect of BT NPs as an efficient radio-sensitizer to boost the tumor radiosensitivity, we put forth a strategy that can be universally applied in synthesizing metal chalcogenides for catalysis-promoted radiotherapy.

Degradable mesoporous semimetal antimony nanospheres for near-infrared II multimodal theranostics. Nat Commun 2022; 13:539.

Abstract
Metallic and semimetallic mesoporous frameworks are of great importance owing to their unique properties and broad applications. However, semimetallic mesoporous structures cannot be obtained by the traditional template-mediated strategies due to the inevitable hydrolytic reaction of semimetal compounds. Therefore, it is yet challenging to fabricate mesoporous semimetal nanostructures, not even mention controlling their pore sizes. Here we develop a facile and robust selective etching route to synthesize monodispersed mesoporous antimony nanospheres (MSbNSs). The pore sizes of MSbNSs are tunable by carefully controlling the partial oxidation of Sb nuclei and the selective etching of the as-formed Sb2O3. MSbNSs show a wide absorption from visible to second near-infrared (NIR-II) region. Moreover, PEGylated MSbNSs are degradable and the degradation mechanism is further explained. The NIR-II photothermal performance of MSbNSs is promising with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of ~44% and intensive NIR-II photoacoustic signal. MSbNSs show potential as multifunctional nanomedicines for NIR-II photoacoustic imaging guided synergistic photothermal/chemo therapy in vivo. Our selective etching process would contribute to the development of various semimetallic mesoporous structures and efficient multimodal nanoplatforms for theranostics.

Abstract
Plasmonics, especially the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in non-noble metal bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs), and its spectral features and applications have stimulated increasing research interest in recent years. However, the lack of mature methods to prepare Bi NPs with a well-controlled size and/or shape significantly limits the experimental investigations concerning the LSPR optical properties. Herein, we realize the size-tunable synthesis of nearly monodisperse spherical Bi NPs through a thiolate pyrolysis reaction in solution. The instantaneous thermolysis of a layered molecular intermediate, bismuth dodecanethiolate [Bi(SC12H25)3], results in a classical LaMer mechanism for the nucleation and growth of Bi NPs, allowing for a precise size control from 65 to 205 nm in the average diameter. The diameter tunability enables a systematic study on the size dependence of LSPR optical properties of Bi NPs, and we observe rich ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectral responses arising from the LSPR absorption and scattering of Bi NPs as their size varies, which will greatly benefit the light harvesting and manipulation in the solar spectrum. Furthermore, we find that a complete oxidation occurs to Bi NPs under air flow at the temperature when they melt and accordingly generate metastable tetragonal-phase β-Bi2O3 NPs that show an optical band gap of 2.15 eV and interesting temperature-dependent β → α → δ → (γ + β) polymorphic transitions.
