Abstract
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that poses a significant threat to women's health and single therapy fails to play a good oncological therapeutic effect. Synergistic treatment with multiple strategies may make up for the deficiencies and has gained widespread attention. In this study, sulfhydryl-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-SH) was covalently crosslinked with polydopamine (PDA) via a Michael addition reaction to develop an injectable hydrogel, in which PDA can be used not only as a matrix but also as a photothermal agent. After HSA and paclitaxel were spontaneously organized into nanoparticles via hydrophobic interaction, hyaluronic acid with low molecular weight was covalently linked to HSA, thus conferring effectively delivery. This photothermal injectable hydrogel incorporates PTX@HSA-HA nanoparticles, thereby initiating a thermochemotherapeutic response to target malignancy. Our results demonstrated that this injectable hydrogel possesses consistent drug delivery capability in a murine breast cancer model, collaborating with photothermal therapy to effectively suppress tumor growth, represented by low expression of Ki-67 and increasing apoptosis. Photothermal therapy (PTT) can effectively stimulate immune response by increasing IL-6 and TNF-α. Notably, the treatment did not elicit any indications of toxicity. This injectable hydrogel holds significant promise as a multifaceted therapeutic agent that integrates photothermal and chemotherapeutic modalities.

PEGylated chitosan-coated nanophotosensitizers for effective cancer treatment by photothermal-photodynamic therapy combined with glutathione depletion. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131359.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the poor photostability and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic small-molecule photosensitizers, and the intracellular glutathione (GSH)-mediated singlet oxygen scavenging largely decline the antitumor efficacy of PTT and PDT. Herein, a versatile nanophotosensitizer (NPS) system is developed by ingenious incorporation of indocyanine green (ICG) into the PEGylated chitosan (PEG-CS)-coated polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles via multiple π-π stacking, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. The PEG-CS-covered NPS showed prominent colloidal and photothermal stability as well as high PCE (ca 62.8 %). Meanwhile, the Michael addition between NPS and GSH can consume GSH, thus reducing the GSH-induced singlet oxygen scavenging. After being internalized by CT26 cells, the NPS under near-infrared laser irradiation produced massive singlet oxygen with the aid of thermo-enhanced intracellular GSH depletion to elicit mitochondrial damage and lipid peroxide formation, thus leading to ferroptosis and apoptosis. Importantly, the combined PTT and PDT delivered by NPS effectively inhibited CT26 tumor growth in vivo by light-activated intense hyperthermia and redox homeostasis disturbance. Overall, this work presents a new tactic of boosting antitumor potency of ICG-mediated phototherapy by PEG-CS-covered NPS.

Abstract
Ultrasmall platinum (Pt) nanozymes are used for catalytic therapy and oxygen (O2)-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT) by harnessing the dual-enzyme activities of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD). However, their applications as nanocatalysts are limited due to their low catalytic activity. Herein, we constructed a photothermal-promoted bimetallic nanoplatform (AuNTP@Pt-IR808) by depositing ultrasmall Pt nano-islands and modifying 1-(5-Carboxypentyl)-2-(2-(3-(2-(1-(5-carboxypentyl)-3,3-dimethylindolin-2-ylidene)ethylidene)-2-chlorocyclohex-1-en-1-yl)vinyl)-3,3-dimethyl-3H-indol-1-ium bromide (IR808) on gold nanotetrapod (AuNTP) with CAT/POD activities to enhance PDT/catalytic therapy. In the tumor microenvironment, the ultrasmall Pt can catalyze endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce O2, relieving tumor hypoxia and enhancing the PDT performance. Moreover, AuNTP integration into the bimetallic nanoplatform showed good electron transfer properties and promoted the POD activity of ultrasmall Pt. Importantly, AuNTP@Pt-IR808 possessed higher photothermal conversion performance than single AuNTPs, which enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT). It also accelerated the CAT/POD dual-enzyme activities, and promoted the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radical (OH). By enhancing the performances of PTT/PDT/catalytic therapy, the developed AuNTP@Pt-IR808 nanoplatform demonstrated good antitumor efficacy against breast cancer.

Abstract
Conjugation of aptamers to homogeneous catalysts ("nucleoapzymes"), heterogeneous nanoparticle catalysts ("aptananozymes"), and photocatalysts ("photoaptazymes") yields superior catalytic/photocatalytic hybrid nanostructures emulating functions of native enzymes and photosystems. The concentration of the substrate in proximity to the catalytic sites ("molarity effect") or spatial concentration of electron-acceptor units in spatial proximity to the photosensitizers, by aptamer-ligand complexes, leads to enhanced catalytic/photocatalytic efficacies of the hybrid nanostructures. This is exemplified by sets of "nucleoapzymes" composed of aptamers conjugated to the hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzymes or metal-ligand complexes as catalysts, catalyzing the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome, oxygen-insertion into the Ar─H moiety of tyrosinamide and the subsequent oxidation of the catechol product into aminochrome, or the hydrolysis of esters or ATP. Also, aptananozymes consisting of aptamers conjugated to Cu2+ - or Ce4+ -ion-modified C-dots or polyadenine-stabilized Au nanoparticles acting as catalysts oxidizing dopamine or operating bioreactor biocatalytic cascades, are demonstrated. In addition, aptamers conjugated to the Ru(II)-tris-bipyridine photosensitizer or the Zn(II) protoporphyrin IX photosensitizer provide supramolecular photoaptazyme assemblies emulating native photosynthetic reaction centers. Effective photoinduced electron transfer followed by the catalyzed synthesis of NADPH or the evolution of H2 is demonstrated by the photosystems. Structure-function relationships dictate the catalytic and photocatalytic efficacies of the systems.

Abstract
Despite significant advancements in cancer research, real-time monitoring and effective treatment of cancer through non-invasive techniques remain a challenge. Herein, a novel polydopamine (PDA) nucleic acid nanoprobe has been developed for imaging signal amplification of intracellular mRNA and precise photothermal therapy guidance in cancer cells. The PDA nucleic acid nanoprobe (PDA@DNA) is constructed by assembling an aptamer hairpin (H1) labeled with the Cy5 fluorophore and another nucleic acid recognition hairpin (H2) onto PDA nanoparticles (PDA NPs), which have exceptionally high fluorescence quenching ability and excellent photothermal conversion properties. The nanoprobe could facilitate cellular uptake of DNA molecules and their protection from nuclease degradation. Upon recognition and binding to the intracellular mRNA target, a catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction occurs. The stem of H1 unfolds upon binding, allowing the exposed H1 to hybridize with H2, forming a flat and sturdy DNA double-stranded structure that detaches from the surface of PDA NPs. At the same time, the target mRNA is displaced and engages in a new cyclic reaction, resulting in the recovery and significant amplification of Cy5 fluorescence. Using thymidine kinase1 (TK1) mRNA as a model mRNA, this nanoprobe enables the analysis of TK1 mRNA with a detection limit of 9.34 pM, which is at least two orders of magnitude lower than that of a non-amplifying imaging nucleic acid probe. Moreover, with its outstanding performance for in vitro detection, this nanoprobe excels in precisely imaging tumor cells. Through live-cell TK1 mRNA imaging, it can accurately distinguish between tumor cells and normal cells. Furthermore, when exposed to 808-nm laser irradiation, the nanoprobe fully harnesses exceptional photothermal conversion properties of PDA NPs. This results in a localized temperature increase within tumor cells, which ultimately triggers apoptosis in these tumor cells. The integration of PDA@DNA presents innovative prospects for tumor diagnosis and image-guided tumor therapy, offering the potential for high-precision diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Cancer with a complex pathological process is a major disease to human welfare. Due to the imbalance between oxygen (O2) supply and consumption, hypoxia is a natural characteristic of most solid tumors and an important obstacle for cancer therapy, which is closely related to tumor proliferation, metastasis, and invasion. Various strategies to exploit the feature of tumor hypoxia have been developed in the past decade, which can be used to alleviate tumor hypoxia, or utilize the hypoxia for targeted delivery and diagnostic imaging. The strategies to alleviate tumor hypoxia include delivering O2, in situ O2 generation, reprogramming the tumor vascular system, decreasing O2 consumption, and inhibiting HIF-1 related pathways. On the other side, hypoxia can also be utilized for hypoxia-responsive chemical construction and hypoxia-active prodrug-based strategies. Taking advantage of hypoxia in the tumor region, a number of methods have been applied to identify and keep track of changes in tumor hypoxia. Herein, we thoroughly review the recent progress of nanomedicine strategies in both conquering and utilizing hypoxia to combat cancer and put forward the prospect of emerging nanomaterials for future clinical transformation, which hopes to provide perspectives in nanomaterials design.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex and multifaceted disease that continues to be a global health challenge. It exerts a tremendous burden on individuals, families, healthcare systems, and society as a whole. To mitigate the impact of cancer, concerted efforts and collaboration on a global scale are essential. This includes strengthening preventive measures, promoting early detection, and advancing effective treatment strategies. In the field of cancer treatment, researchers and clinicians are constantly seeking new approaches and technologies to improve therapeutic outcomes and minimize adverse effects. One promising avenue of investigation is the utilization of the Fenton reaction, a chemical process that involves the generation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (·OH) through the interaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with ferrous ions (Fe2+). The generated ·OH radicals possess strong oxidative properties, which can lead to the selective destruction of cancer cells. In recent years, researchers have successfully introduced the Fenton reaction into the cancer microenvironment through the application of nanotechnology, such as polymer nanoparticles and light-responsive nanoparticles. This article reviews the progress of the application of the Fenton reaction, catalyzed by polymer nanoparticles and light-responsive nanoparticles, in the cancer microenvironment, as well as the potential applications and future development directions of the Fenton reaction in the field of tumor treatment.

Abstract
Herein, we present a one-pot hydrothermal approach for synthesizing metal–organic framework-derived copper (II) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Cu-BTC) nanowires (NWs) using dopamine as the reducing agent and precursor for a polydopamine (PDA) surface coating formation. In addition, PDA can act as a PTT agent and enhance NIR absorption, producing photothermal effects on cancer cells. These NWs displayed a photothermal conversion efficiency of 13.32% after PDA coating and exhibited good photothermal stability. Moreover, NWs with a suitable T1 relaxivity coefficient (r1 = 3.01 mg−1 s−1) can be effectively used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. By increasing concentrations, cellular uptake studies showed a greater uptake of Cu-BTC@PDA NWs into cancer cells. Further, in vitro studies showed PDA-coated Cu-BTC NWs possess exceptional therapeutic performance by 808 nm laser irradiation, destroying 58% of cancer cells compared with the absence of laser irradiation. This promising performance is anticipated to advance the research and implementation of copper-based NWs as theranostic agents for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The limited penetration depth of nanodrugs in the tumor and the severe hypoxia inside the tumor significantly reduce the efficacy of photothermal-photodynamic synergistic therapy (PTT-PDT). Here, we synthesized a methoxypolyethylene glycol amine (mPEG-NH2)-modified walnut-shaped polydopamine nanomotor (PDA-PEG) driven by near-infrared light (NIR). At the same time, it also loaded the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) via electrostatic/hydrophobicinteractions and chelated with ferric ion (Fe3+). Under the irradiation of NIR, the asymmetry of PDA-PEG morphology led to the asymmetry of local photothermal effects and the formation of thermal gradient, which can make the nanomotor move autonomously. This ability of autonomous movement was proved to be used to improve the permeability of the nanomotor in three-dimensional (3D) tumor sphere. Fe3+ can catalyze endogenous hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen, so as to overcome the hypoxia of tumor microenvironment and thereby generate more singlet oxygen to kill tumor cells. Animal experiments in vivo confirmed that the nanomotors had a good PTT-PDT synergistic treatment effect. The introduction of nanomotor technology has brought new ideas for cancer optical therapy.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic photothermal coatings are promising for multifunctional applications due to the efficient use of solar energy, but the current challenge is to seek one easy-to-prepare material with high photothermal performance. Herein, inspired by mussel adhesion and lotus leaf surfaces, we developed superhydrophobic photothermal coatings with hierarchical structure by depositing melanin-like polydopamine (PDA) and dip-coating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/hydrophobic fumed silica (SiO2) sequentially. Benefitting from the efficient photothermal conversion performance of PDA, the coated fabric can rapidly warm up to 100 °C under 100 mW/cm2 sun irradiation. Meanwhile, the coatings show excellent superhydrophobic properties (WCA of 163°), which not only prevent the adhesion of the contaminant from maintaining a long-term and efficient photothermal performance but also help the fabric to own outstanding passive anti-icing and active deicing performances. Furthermore, the superhydrophobic properties of the coatings can be maintained after sandpaper abrasion, repeat tape-peeling, and ultrasonication. In addition, superior UV protection of the coatings can meet the long-term service conditions under outdoor sunlight. The PDA-based superhydrophobic photothermal coatings are believed to inspire new strategies for solar-driven multifunctional applications such as personal thermal management, anti-icing/deicing of variously shaped components, photothermal antibacterial, and so on.

Abstract
Oral diseases represent one of the most prevalent diseases globally and are associated with serious health and economic burdens, greatly altering the quality of life of affected individuals. Various biomaterials play important roles in the treatment of oral diseases. To some extent, the development of biomaterials has promoted progress in clinically available oral medicines. Hydrogels have unique tunable advantages that make them useful in the next generation of regenerative strategies and have been widely applied in both oral soft and hard tissues repair. However, most hydrogels lack self-adhesive properties, which may result in low repair efficacy. Polydopamine (PDA), the primary adhesive component, has attracted increasing attention in recent years. PDA-modified hydrogels exhibit reliable and suitable adherence to tissues and easily integrate into tissues to promote repair efficiency. This paper reviews the latest research progress on PDA hydrogels and elaborates on the mechanism of the reaction between PDA functional groups and hydrogels, and summarizes the biological properties and the applications of PDA hydrogels in the prevention and treatment of the field of oral diseases. It is also proposed that in future research we should simulate the complex microenvironment of the oral cavity as much as possible, coordinate and plan various biological events rationally, and realize the translation from scientific research to clinical practice.

Abstract
Traditional methods of tumor treatment such as surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy have certain limitations, and their treatment effects are not always satisfactory. As a new tumor treatment method, photothermal therapy based on nanostructures has attracted the attention of researchers due to its characteristics of minimally invasive, low side effects, and inhibition of cancer metastasis. In recent years, there has been a variety of inorganic or organic nanostructures used in the field of photothermal tumor treatment, and they have shown great application prospects. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of nanomaterials/nanostructures as photothermal agents (PTAs) for photothermal therapy as well as their research progress are reviewed. For the sake of clarity, the recently reported nanomaterials/nanostructures for photothermal therapy of tumor are classified into five main categories, i.e., carbon nanostructures, noble metal nanostructures, transition metal sulfides, organic polymer, and other nanostructures. In addition, future perspectives or challenges in the related field are discussed.

Abstract
The clinical need for photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been growing for several decades. Notably, PDT is often used in oncology to treat a variety of tumors since it is a low-risk therapy with excellent selectivity, does not conflict with other therapies, and may be repeated as necessary. The mechanism of action of PDT is the photoactivation of a particular photosensitizer (PS) in a tumor microenvironment in the presence of oxygen. During PDT, cancer cells produce singlet oxygen (1O2) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon activation of PSs by irradiation, which efficiently kills the tumor. However, PDT's effectiveness in curing a deep-seated malignancy is constrained by three key reasons: a tumor's inadequate PS accumulation in tumor tissues, a hypoxic core with low oxygen content in solid tumors, and limited depth of light penetration. PDTs are therefore restricted to the management of thin and superficial cancers. With the development of nanotechnology, PDT's ability to penetrate deep tumor tissues and exert desired therapeutic effects has become a reality. However, further advancement in this field of research is necessary to address the challenges with PDT and ameliorate the therapeutic outcome. This review presents an overview of PSs, the mechanism of loading of PSs, nanomedicine-based solutions for enhancing PDT, and their biological applications including chemodynamic therapy, chemo-photodynamic therapy, PDT-electroporation, photodynamic-photothermal (PDT-PTT) therapy, and PDT-immunotherapy. Furthermore, the review discusses the mechanism of ROS generation in PDT advantages and challenges of PSs in PDT.

Abstract
Phototherapeutic agents with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, strong reactive oxygen species generation and photothermal conversion capabilities are highly desirable for use in cancer therapy. Herein, a water-soluble NIR croconaine dye (TCR) with a thiophene-croconaine rigid core and two symmetric alkyl chains was designed and synthesized. TCR exhibits intense NIR absorption and fluorescence that peaked at 780 and 815 nm, respectively, with a high molar extinction coefficient of 1.19 × 105 M-1 cm-1. Moreover, TCR has a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 77% and is capable of generating hydroxyl radicals (OH˙) under 735 nm laser irradiation. Based on these outstanding properties, TCR has proven its application in NIR fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Malignant tumors, one of the worst-case scenarios within human health problems, are now posing an increasing threat to the well-being of the global population. At present, the treatment of malignant tumors mainly includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often applied to inoperable tumors, and some other tumors after surgery as important adjuvant therapies. Nonetheless, both radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a series of side effects, such as radiation-induced lung injury, and chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression. In addition, the positioning accuracy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not assured and satisfactory, and the possibility of tumor cells not being sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy drugs is also problematic. Nanozymes are nanomaterials that display natural enzyme activities, and their applications to tumor therapy have made great progress recently. The most studied one, platinum nanozyme, has been shown to possess a significant correlation with radiotherapy sensitization of tumors as well as photodynamic therapy. However, there are still several issues that limited the usage of platinum-based nanozymes in vivo. In this review, we briefly summarize the representative studies regarding platinum nanozymes, and especially emphasize on the current challenges and the directions of future development for platinum nanozymes therapy.

Abstract
Novel drug delivery systems (DDSs) have become the mainstay of research in targeted cancer therapy. By combining different therapeutic strategies, potential DDSs and synergistic treatment approaches are needed to effectively deal with evolving drug resistance and the adverse effects of cancer. Nowadays, developing and optimizing human cell-based DDSs has become a new research strategy. Among them, red blood cells can be used as DDSs as they significantly enhance the pharmacokinetics of the transported drug cargo. Phototherapy, as a novel adjuvant in cancer treatment, can be divided into photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy. Phototherapy using erythropoietic nanocarriers to mimic the unique properties of erythrocytes and overcome the limitations of existing DDSs shows excellent prospects in clinical settings. This review provides an overview of the development of photosensitizers and research on bio-nano-delivery systems based on erythrocytes and erythrocyte membranes that are used in achieving synergistic outcomes during phototherapy/chemotherapy.

Abstract
Drug resistance is accountable for the inadequate outcome of chemotherapy in clinics. The newly emerging role of nitric oxide (NO) to conquer drug resistance has been recognized as a potential strategy. However, it remains a great challenge to realize targeted delivery as well as accurate release of NO at desired sites. Herein, we developed a PEGylated indocyanine green (mPEG-ICG) integrated nanovesicle system (PIDA) to simultaneously load doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX⋅HCl) and the NO donor L-arginine (L-Arg), which can produce NO triggered by NIR light irradiation and exert multimodal therapy to sensitize drug-resistant cancers. Upon 808 nm irradiation, the NO released from PIDA led to a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, an increase in ROS and significant ATP depletion in K562/ADR cells, thus inhibiting cell growth and resolving the problem of drug resistance. Consequently, the in vivo experiment on K562/ADR-bearing nude mice indicated that PIDA nanovesicles achieved significant anticancer efficacy with a tumor inhibition rate of 80.8%. Above all, PIDA nanovesicles offer guidance for designing nanoplatforms for drug-resistant cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic strategy for tumor ablation by generating highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to damage DNA and other biomacromolecules. However, the local hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor and the presence of ROS-defensing system, such as the mobilization of mutt homolog 1 (MTH1) to sanitize ROS-oxidized nucleotide pool, severely limit the efficiency of PDT. Therefore, a novel tumor ablation strategy was developed that not only focused on the enhancement of ROS generation but also weakened the ROS-defensing system by inhibiting MTH1 enzyme activity. In our work, a simple one-step reduction approach was applied to enable platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) with catalase activity to grow in situ in the nanochannels of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). After physical encapsulation of photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and MTH1 inhibitor TH588, the drug loading nanoplatform was modified with an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) functionalized liposome shell, resulting in the fabrication of amplified oxidative damage nanoplatform MSN-Pt@Ce6/TH588 @Liposome-RGD (MPCT@Li-R). The prepared MPCT@Li-R NPs could continuously catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen (O2) in tumor, thus promoting the generation of singlet oxygen during PDT process for improved oxidative damage of bases. Simultaneously, acid responsive released TH588 hindered MTH1-mediated scavenging of oxidative bases, further aggravating DNA oxidative damage. Consequently, this cascade therapy strategy exhibited excellent tumor suppression efficiency both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Metallic-based nanoparticles present a unique set of physicochemical properties that support their application in different fields, such as electronics, medical diagnostics, and therapeutics. Particularly, in cancer therapy, the plasmonic resonance, magnetic behavior, X-ray attenuation, and radical oxygen species generation capacity displayed by metallic nanoparticles make them highly promising theragnostic solutions. Nevertheless, metallic-based nanoparticles are often associated with some toxicological issues, lack of colloidal stability, and establishment of off-target interactions. Therefore, researchers have been exploiting the combination of metallic nanoparticles with other materials, inorganic (e.g., silica) and/or organic (e.g., polymers). In terms of biological performance, metal-polymer conjugation can be advantageous for improving biocompatibility, colloidal stability, and tumor specificity. In this review, the application of metallic-polymer nanoconjugates/nanohybrids as a multifunctional all-in-one solution for cancer therapy will be summarized, focusing on the physicochemical properties that make metallic nanomaterials capable of acting as imaging and/or therapeutic agents. Then, an overview of the main advantages of metal-polymer conjugation as well as the most common structural arrangements will be provided. Moreover, the application of metallic-polymer nanoconjugates/nanohybrids made of gold, iron, copper, and other metals in cancer therapy will be discussed, in addition to an outlook of the current solution in clinical trials.

Abstract
Mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) and MPDA-based nanosystems have been widely used in the field of photothermal therapy (PTT) and drug delivery. However, synthesis of the corresponding nanoplatforms for efficient PTT and controlled drug release simultaneously in the second near infrared (NIR-II) region remains a great challenge. Herein, a NIR-II and pH dual-responsive HMPDA@Cu2-xSe cascade catalytic nanoplatform was constructed by assembling hollow mesoporous polydopamine (HMPDA) with ultra-small Cu2-xSe, which could compensate the inadequate NIR-II-induced PTT effect of HMPDA and enhance the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) simultaneously under NIR-II laser irradiation. Meanwhile, doxorubicin (DOX) and glucose oxidase (GOx) were encapsulated into the synthesized HMPDA@Cu2-xSe using the photothermal-induced phase change material (PCM) tetradecyl (1-TD) as a gatekeeper to achieve the controlled release of the cargo. Under 1064 nm laser, the generated heat could cause 1-TD melting, resulting in the release of large amounts of DOX and GOx. The released GOx could further catalyze glucose to H2O2 and gluconic acid, which in turn promoted the effects of PTT/CDT and the release of drugs. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the synthesized HMPDA@Cu2-xSe-DOX-GOx@PCM (HMPC-D/G@PCM) nanosystem exhibited a significant tumor cell inhibition effect by combining different treatment modes. Thus, this smart nanoplatform with multiple stimuli-activated cascade reactions provided a new idea for designing effective multi-modal combination therapy for tumors.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become a promising method of cancer treatment due to its unique properties, such as noninvasiveness and low toxicity. The efficacy of PDT is, however, significantly reduced by the hypoxia tumor environments, because PDT involves the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which requires the great consumption of oxygen. Moreover, the consumption of oxygen caused by PDT would further exacerbate the hypoxia condition, which leads to angiogenesis, invasion of tumors to other parts, and metastasis. Therefore, many research studies have been conducted to design nanoplatforms that can alleviate tumor hypoxia and enhance PDT. Herein, the recent progress on strategies for overcoming tumor hypoxia is reviewed, including the direct transport of oxygen to the tumor site by O2 carriers, the in situ generation of oxygen by decomposition of oxygen-containing compounds, reduced O2 consumption, as well as the regulation of tumor microenvironments. Limitations and future perspectives of these technologies to improve PDT are also discussed.

Abstract
Glioma is characterized by high mortality and low postoperative survival. Despite the availability of various therapeutic approaches and molecular typing, the treatment failure rate and the recurrence rate of glioma remain high. Given the limitations of existing therapeutic tools, nanotechnology has emerged as an alternative treatment option. Nanoparticles, such as polydopamine (PDA)-based nanoparticles, are embodied with reliable biodegradability, efficient drug loading rate, relatively low toxicity, considerable biocompatibility, excellent adhesion properties, precisely targeted delivery, and strong photothermal conversion properties. Therefore, they can further enhance the therapeutic effects in patients with glioma. Moreover, polydopamine contains pyrocatechol, amino and carboxyl groups, active double bonds, catechol, and other reactive groups that can react with biofunctional molecules containing amino, aldehyde, or sulfhydryl groups (main including, self-polymerization, non-covalent self-assembly, π-π stacking, electrostatic attraction interaction, chelation, coating and covalent co-assembly), which form a reversible dynamic covalent Schiff base bond that is extremely sensitive to pH values. Meanwhile, PDA has excellent adhesion capability that can be further functionally modified. Consequently, the aim of this review is to summarize the application of PDA-based NPs in glioma and to acquire insight into the therapeutic effect of the drug-loaded PDA-based nanocarriers (PDA NPs). A wealthy understanding and argument of these sides is anticipated to afford a better approach to develop more reasonable and valid PDA-based cancer nano-drug delivery systems. Finally, we discuss the expectation for the prospective application of PDA in this sphere and some individual viewpoints.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an advanced therapeutic strategy with light-triggered, minimally invasive, high spatiotemporal selective and low systemic toxicity properties, which has been widely used in the clinical treatment of many solid tumors in recent years. Any strategies that improve the three elements of PDT (light, oxygen, and photosensitizers) can improve the efficacy of PDT. However, traditional PDT is confronted some challenges of poor solubility of photosensitizers and tumor suppressive microenvironment. To overcome the related obstacles of PDT, various strategies have been investigated in terms of improving photosensitizers (PSs) delivery, penetration of excitation light sources, and hypoxic tumor microenvironment. In addition, compared with a single treatment mode, the synergistic treatment of multiple treatment modalities such as photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy can improve the efficacy of PDT. This review summarizes recent advances in nanomaterials, including metal nanoparticles, liposomes, hydrogels and polymers, to enhance the efficiency of PDT against malignant tumor.

Abstract
Nanozyme is a series of nanomaterials with enzyme-mimetic activities that can proceed with the catalytic reactions of natural enzymes. In the field of biomedicine, nanozymes are capturing tremendous attention due to their high stability and low cost. Enzyme-mimetic activities of nanozymes can be regulated by multiple factors, such as the chemical state of metal ion, pH, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and glutathione (GSH) level, presenting great promise for biomedical applications. Over the past decade, multi-functional nanozymes have been developed for various biomedical applications. To promote the understandings of nanozymes and the development of novel and multifunctional nanozymes, we herein provide a comprehensive review of the nanozymes and their applications in the biomedical field. Nanozymes with versatile enzyme-like properties are briefly overviewed, and their mechanism and application are discussed to provide understandings for future research. Finally, underlying challenges and prospects of nanozymes in the biomedical frontier are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) represent a versatile core structure for the design of functional nanosystems of biomedical interest. However, the development of selective methodologies for the site-controlled functionalization of the nanotubes at specific sites is not an easy task. This study aims to accomplish a procedure for the site-selective/specific, "pin-point", functionalization of HNTs with polydopamine (HNTs@PDA). This goal was achieved, at pH 6.5, by exploiting the basicity of ZnO nanoparticles anchored on the HNTs external surface (HNTs@ZnO) to induce a punctual polydopamine polymerization and coating. The morphology and the chemical composition of the nanomaterial was demonstrated by several techniques. Turbidimetric analysis showed that PDA coating affected the aqueous stability of HNTs@PDA compared to both HNTs@ZnO and HNTs. Notably, hyperthermia studies revealed that the nanomaterial induced a local thermic rise, up to 50 °C, under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. Furthermore, secondary functionalization of HNTs@PDA by selective grafting of biotin onto the PDA coating followed by avidin binding was also accomplished.

Abstract
Multifunctional phototheranostics combining diagnostic and therapeutic modalities may provide a revolutionary opportunity for cancer treatment. As a promising tumor phototheranostic molecule, IR780 iodide (IR780) shows excellent photodynamic and photothermal performance under near-infrared laser irradiation; however, its hydrophobicity and instability limit its further use in organisms. This work demonstrates the design and development of a multifunctional nanoplatform (PMIDA, referring to polydopamine (PDA)-manganese dioxide (MnO2)-IR780) for imaging-guided phototherapy. The good biocompatibility of PDA greatly improves the water solubility and photostability of IR780, and its excellent photothermal properties make PMIDA a dual photothermal therapy (PTT). MnO2-induced generation of oxygen in the tumor microenvironment improves the hypoxia effect and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of IR780. Moreover, Mn2+ serves as a decent T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probe to guide treatment. Notably, in relevant cellular assays, PMIDA shows high photodynamic and photothermal effects contributing to the final therapeutic effect. The MRI-guided PDT/PTT synergistic therapy effect in vivo is demonstrated by precise tumor diagnosis and complete tumor elimination outcomes. Based on these experiments, PMIDA nanoparticles display promising effects in facilitating intravenous injection of IR780 and achieving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided phototheranostic efficacy for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA), which is derived from marine mussels, has excellent potential in early diagnosis of diseases and targeted drug delivery owing to its good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and photothermal conversion. However, when used as a solid nanoparticle, the application of traditional PDA is restricted because of the low drug-loading and encapsulation efficiencies of hydrophobic drugs. Nevertheless, the emergence of mesoporous materials broaden our horizon. Mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) has the characteristics of a porous structure, simple preparation process, low cost, high specific surface area, high light-to-heat conversion efficiency, and excellent biocompatibility, and therefore has gained considerable interest. This review provides an overview of the preparation methods and the latest applications of MPDA-based nanodrug delivery systems (chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy, photothermal therapy combined with chemotherapy, photothermal therapy combined with immunotherapy, photothermal therapy combined with photodynamic/chemodynamic therapy, and cancer theranostics). This review is expected to shed light on the multi-strategy antitumor therapy applications of MPDA-based nanodrug delivery systems. ![]()

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has been widely used in biomedical applications including imaging contrast agents, antioxidants, UV protection, and photothermal therapy due to its biocompatibility, metal-ion chelation, free-radical scavenging, and wideband absorption, but its low photothermal efficiency still needs to be improved. In this study, we chelated near-infrared (NIR) sensitive carbon quantum dots on the surface of polydopamine (PDA-PEI@N,S-CQDs) to increase its near-infrared absorption. Surprisingly, although only 4% (w/w) of carbon quantum dots was conjugated on the PDA surface, it still increased the photothermal efficiency by 30%. Moreover, PDA-PEI@N,S-CQDs could also be used as the drug carrier for loading 60% (w/w) of the DOX and achieved stimuli-responsive drug release under lysosomal pH (pH 5.0) and 808 nm laser illumination. For in vitro therapeutic experiment, PDA-PEI@N,S-CQDs showed the remarkable therapeutic performance under 808 nm laser irradiation for killing 90% of cancer cells compared with 50% by pure PDA nanoparticles, and the efficacy was even higher after loading DOX owing to the synergistic effect by photothermal therapy and chemotherapy. This intelligent and effective therapeutic nanosystem based on PDA-PEI@N,S-CQDs showed enhanced photothermal behavior after chelating carbon dots and promoted the future development of a nanoplatform for stimuli-responsive photothermal/chemo therapy.

Abstract
Dopamine-based materials have attracted widespread interest due to the outstanding physicochemical and biological properties. Since the first report on polydopamine (PDA) films, great efforts have been devoted to develop new fabrication strategies for obtaining novel nanostructures and desirable properties. Among them, one-pot co-assembly strategy offers a unique pathway for integrating multiple properties and functions into dopamine-based platform in a single simultaneous co-deposition step. This review focuses on the state of the art development of one-pot multicomponent self-assembly of dopamine-based materials and summarizes various single-step co-deposition approaches, including PDA-assisted adaptive encapsulation, co-assembly of dopamine with other molecules through non-covalent interactions or covalent interactions. Moreover, emerging applications of dopamine-based materials in the fields ranging from sensing, cancer therapy, catalysis, oil/water separation to antifouling are outlined. In addition, some critical remaining challenges and opportunities are discussed to pave the way towards the rational design and applications of dopamine-based materials.

Abstract
The therapeutic effect of oxygen-concentration-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be diminished in the hypoxic environment of solid tumours, the effective solution to this problem is utilising hypoxic-activated bioreduction therapy (BRT). In this research, a biocompatible HA-C60/TPENH2nanogel which can specifically bind to CD44 receptor was developed for highly efficient PDT-BRT synergistic therapy. The nanogel was degradable in acidic microenvironments of tumours and facilitated the release of biological reduction prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ). Importantly, HA-C60/TPENH2nanogel produced reactive oxygen species and consumed oxygen content in the cell to activate TPZ, leading to higher cytotoxicity than the free TPZ did. The intracellular observation of nanogel indicated that the HA-C60/TPENH2nanogel was self-fluorescence for cell imaging. This study applied PDT-BRT to design smart HA-based nanogel with targeted delivery, pH response, and AIEgen feature for efficient cancer therapy.
