Abstract
Piezoelectric catalysis is a novel catalytic technology that has developed rapidly in recent years and has attracted extensive interest among researchers in the field of tumor therapy for its acoustic-sensitizing properties. Nevertheless, researchers are still controversial about the key technical difficulties in the modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers for tumor therapy applications, which is undoubtedly a major obstacle to the performance modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers. Clarification of this challenge will be beneficial to the design and optimization of piezoelectric sonosensitizers in the future. Here, the authors start from the mechanism of piezoelectric catalysis and elaborate the mechanism and methods of defect engineering and phase engineering for the performance modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers based on the energy band theory. The combined therapeutic strategy of piezoelectric sonosensitizers with enzyme catalysis and immunotherapy is introduced. Finally, the challenges and prospects of piezoelectric sonosensitizers are highlighted. Hopefully, the explorations can guide researchers toward the optimization of piezoelectric sonosensitizers and can be applied in their own research.

Abstract
Hypoxic microenvironment and glutathione (GSH) accumulation in tumours limit the efficacy of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) anti-tumour therapy. To address this challenge, we increased the consumption of GSH and the production of ROS through a novel nanoplatform with the action of inorganic nanoenzymes. In this study, we prepared mesoporous FeS2 using a simple template method, efficiently loaded AIPH, and assembled Ti3C2/FeS2-AIPH@BSA (TFAB) nanocomposites through self-assembly with BSA and 2D Ti3C2. The constructed TFAB nanotherapeutic platform enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by generating toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) via FeS2, while consuming GSH to reduce the loss of generated ˙OH via glutathione oxidase-like (GSH-OXD). In addition, TFAB is able to stimulate the decomposition of AIPH under 808 nm laser irradiation to produce oxygen-independent biotoxic alkyl radicals (˙R) for thermodynamic therapy (TDT). In conclusion, TFAB represents an innovative nanoplatform that effectively addresses the limitations of free radical-based treatment strategies. Through the synergistic therapeutic strategy of photothermal therapy (PTT), CDT, and TDT within the tumor microenvironment, TFAB nanoplatforms achieve controlled AIPH release, ROS generation, intracellular GSH consumption, and precise temperature elevation, resulting in enhanced intracellular oxidative stress, significant apoptotic cell death, and notable tumor growth inhibition. This comprehensive treatment strategy shows great promise in the field of tumor therapy.

Abstract
The generally undesirable bandgap and electron-hole complexation of inorganic sonosensitizers limit the efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, affecting the effectiveness of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Comparatively, the novel polyvinylpyrrolidone-modified copper bismuthate (PCBO) sonosensitizers are manufactured for a "three-step" SDT promotion. In brief, first, the strong hybridization between Bi 6s and O 2p orbitals in PCBO narrows the bandgap (1.83 eV), facilitating the rapid transfer of charge carriers. Additionally, nonequivalent [CuO4]6- layers reduce crystal symmetry, confer PCBO unique piezoelectricity, and improve electron-hole separation under ultrasonic (US) excitation. This allows PCBO to convert US energy into chemical energy to produce ROS, achieving the accumulation of abundant ROS, resulting in apoptosis and tumor suppression. Concurrently, PCBO also acts as a glutathione scavenger to reduce tumor antioxidant capacity and improve efficacy. To the best of authors understanding, this study reveals PCBO as an innovative piezoelectric sonosensitizer and provides a meaningful paradigm for designing energy conversion strategies for tumor suppression.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as an emerging method for cancer therapy has encountered difficulty in insufficient production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially in tumor microenvironment (TME) with elevated antioxidants and hypoxic conditions. In this work, the authors have fabricated heterostructured manganese dioxide (MnO2)-coated BaTiO3 nanoparticles (BTO@M NPs) as a piezoelectric sonosensitizer, which exhibits the capacity of remodeling TME and multienzyme-like catalysis for boosting SDT. Benefitting from the piezotronic effect, the formation of a p-n junction between MnO2 and piezoelectric BTO with a built-in electric field and band bending efficiently promotes the separation of charge carriers, facilitating the generation of superoxide anion (•O2 -) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) under ultrasound (US) stimulation. Moreover, BTO@M NPs can catalyze the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in TME to produce oxygen for replenishing the gas source in SDT, and also deplete antioxidant glutathione (GSH), realizing TME remodeling. During this process, the reduced Mn(II) can convert H2O2 into •OH, further amplifying cellular oxidative damage. With these combination effects, the versatile BTO@M NPs exhibit prominent cytotoxicity and tumor growth inhibition against 4T1 breast cancer. This work provides a feasible strategy for constructing high-efficiency sonosensitizers for cancer SDT.

Abstract
Anti-HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) therapies significantly increase the overall survival of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Unfortunately, a large fraction of patients may develop primary or acquired resistance. Further, a multidrug combination used to prevent this in the clinic places a significant burden on patients. To address this issue, this work develops a nanotherapeutic platform that incorporates bimetallic gold-silver hollow nanoshells (AuAg HNSs) with exceptional near-infrared (NIR) absorption capability, the small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor pyrotinib (PYR), and Herceptin (HCT). This platform realizes targeted delivery of multiple therapeutic effects, including chemo-and photothermal activities, oxidative stress, and immune response. In vitro assays reveal that the HCT-modified nanoparticles exhibit specific recognition ability and effective internalization by cells. The released PYR inhibit cell proliferation by downregulating HER2 and its associated pathways. NIR laser application induces a photothermal effect and tumor cell apoptosis, whereas an intracellular reactive oxygen species burst amplifies oxidative stress and triggers cancer cell ferroptosis. Importantly, this multimodal therapy also promotes the upregulation of genes related to TNF and NF-κB signaling pathways, enhancing immune activation and immunogenic cell death. In vivo studies confirm a significant reduction in tumor volume after treatment, substantiating the potential effectiveness of these nanocarriers.

Abstract
Inspired by the Fenton-like reaction, this work combines copper peroxide (CP) nanoparticles with black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets to form a hydroxyl radical (·OH)-centered "catalytic" osteogenic system. CP-produced ·OH interacts with BP to rapidly produce a large amount of phosphate ions, thus accelerating self-mineralization and promoting bone formation. In turn, BP not only exerts anti-inflammatory effects, thereby providing a favorable microenvironment for bone formation, but also offsets the potential toxicity of CP induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Together with copper ions (Cu2+ ), phosphate ions are also released as a byproduct of this process, which can contribute to the comprehensive promotion of osteogenesis.

Abstract
The single-functionality of traditional chemodynamic therapy (CDT) reagents usually limits the therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatment. Synergistic nanocomposites that involve cascade reaction provide a promising strategy to achieve satisfactory anticancer effects. Herein, a cuprous-based nanocomposite (CCS@GOx@HA) is fabricated, which owns the tumor targeting ability and can undergo tumor microenvironment responsive cascade reaction to enhance the tumor therapeutic efficiency significantly. Surface modification of nanocomposite with hyaluronic acid enables the targeted delivery of the nanocomposite to cancer cells. Acid-triggered decomposition of nanocomposite in cancer cell results in the release of Cu+ , Se2- and GOx. The Cu+ improves the Fenton-like reaction with endogenous H2 O2 to generate highly toxic • OH for CDT. While GOx can not only catalyze the in situ generation of endogenous H2 O2 , but also accelerate the consumption of intratumoral glucose to reduce nutrient supply in tumor site. In addition, Se2- further improves the therapeutic effects of CDT by upregulating the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumor cells. Meanwhile, the surface modification endows the nanocomposite the good water dispersibility and biocompatibility. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate satisfactory anti-cancer therapeutic performance by the synergistic cascade function of CCS@GOx@HA than CDT alone.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in orchestrating a myriad of physiological processes within living systems. With the advent of materdicine, an array of nanomaterials has been intricately engineered to influence the redox equilibrium in biological milieus, thereby pioneering a distinctive therapeutic paradigm predicated on ROS-centric biochemistry. Among these, two-dimensional carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, collectively known as MXenes, stand out due to their multi-valent and multi-elemental compositions, large surface area, high conductivity, and pronounced local surface plasmon resonance effects, positioning them as prominent contributors in ROS modulation. This review aims to provide an overview of the advancements in harnessing MXenes for catalytic redox reactions in various biological applications, including tumor, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory therapies. The emphasis lies on elucidating the therapeutic mechanism of MXenes, involving both pro-oxidation and anti-oxidation processes, underscoring the redox-related therapeutic applications facilitated by self-catalysis, photo-excitation, and sono-excitation properties of MXenes. Furthermore, this review highlights the existing challenges and outlines future development trends in leveraging MXenes for ROS-involving disease treatments, marking a significant step towards the integration of these nanomaterials into clinical practice.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is the use of ultrasound (US) to excite sonosensitizers to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce tumor cell death, thereby achieving therapeutic purposes. Based on the strong tissue penetration ability of ultrasound, SDT can realize the treatment of deeper tumors, and it is targeted, can be specifically concentrated at the tumor site, and has little impact on surrounding normal tissues. It has broad clinical transformation prospects. Therefore, sonosensitizers are the key to SDT, and the exploration of sonosensitizers with excellent therapeutic performance has received great attention. We reviewed the development of ultrasound-inspired sound sensitizers for imaging and treatment. First, different types of sonosensitizers are introduced, the construction and performance of inorganic, organic and hybrid types of sonosensitizers are evaluated, followed by a review of different image-guided SDT, and finally the key problems and solutions in this field are discussed in detail.

Abstract
As a kind of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated therapy, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has attracted great interest in cancer therapy. However, highly efficient and biocompatible sonosensitizers are urgently required to improve the therapeutic efficiency of SDT. In this work, Ti3C2-TiO2 MXenes were controllably synthesized as good sonosensitizers through interface engineering by regulating the dissolved oxygen concentration of the aqueous solution. The as-prepared Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene possessed a narrow band gap of 2.37 eV with promoted charge carrier transformation and efficient electron-hole separation. Compared with pure TiO2 sonosensitizers, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene displayed higher US-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency. In addition, the structurally maintained Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 possessed good photothermal conversion efficiency and the laser irradiation could greatly improve the electron-hole pair separation efficiency to further increase the ROS generation capability. After modification with arginyl-glycyl-aspartic (RGD) peptide, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD could efficiently accumulate in the tumor sites and achieve effective PTT enhanced SDT to eliminate tumors after intravenous injection without causing appreciable long-term toxicity. Therefore, this work presented a new way to construct safe sonosensitizers for enhanced SDT and the as-prepared Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD displayed good potential for further clinical translation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To achieve superior tumor treatment, the nanosized TiO2/Ti3C2 heterostructure was controllably synthesized through interface engineering by regulating the dissolved oxygen concentration of the aqueous solution using inert gas. The oxidation-optimized Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene possessed good sonodynamic performance with a narrow band gap of 2.37 eV and good photothermal conversion efficiency of 47.3% with structurally maintained Ti3C2 MXene. Additionally, the laser irradiation could greatly improve the electron-hole pair separation efficiency to further boost sonodynamic performance of Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene. Encouragingly, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD could efficiently accumulate in the tumor sites and achieve effective PTT enhanced SDT to eliminate tumors.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical aptasensor for the determination of streptomycin (STR) was constructed in this work. We prepared a palladium nanoparticles/titanium carbide/polyethyleneimine-functionalized nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (Pd@Ti3C2-PEI-NCNTs) composite via hydrothermal-assisted formic acid reduction and employed it as a substrate material for anchoring a NH2-functionalized aptamer (Apt) to the surface of an electrode through the Pd-N bond. The Pd@Ti3C2-PEI-NCNTs composite increased the electrochemically active surface area and conductivity of the electrode, achieving substantial signal amplification (1.87 times). The constructed aptasensor demonstrated accurate STR detection via specific recognition between the Apt and STR, with a detection range and limit of 0.01-700 and 0.003 nmol/L, respectively. The aptasensor also exhibited excellent selectivity, stability, reproducibility, practicability and shorter assay times (60 min). Furthermore, molecular docking and molecular dynamic also elucidated the binding mechanism between the aptamer and STR molecules. Overall, this method is expected to be a helpful tool for detecting STR in food.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as a promising non-invasive anti-tumor means features the preferable penetration depth, which nevertheless, usually can't work without sonosensitizers. Sonosensitizers produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of ultrasound to directly kill tumor cells, and concurrently activate anti-tumor immunity especially after integration with tumor microenvironment (TME)-engineered nanobiotechnologies and combined therapy. Current sonosensitizers are classified into organic and inorganic ones, and current most reviews only cover organic sonosensitizers and highlighted their anti-tumor applications. However, there have few specific reviews that focus on inorganic sonosensitizers including their design principles, microenvironment regulation, etc. In this review, inorganic sonosensitizers are first classified according to their design rationales rather than composition, and the action rationales and underlying chemistry features are highlighted. Afterward, what and how TME is regulated based on the inorganic sonosensitizers-based SDT nanoplatform with an emphasis on the TME targets-engineered nanobiotechnologies are elucidated. Additionally, the combined therapy and their applications in non-cancer diseases are also outlined. Finally, the setbacks and challenges, and proposed the potential solutions and future directions is pointed out. This review provides a comprehensive and detailed horizon on inorganic sonosensitizers, and will arouse more attentions on SDT.

Abstract
Diabetic chronic wounds pose significant clinical challenges due to their characteristic features of impaired extracellular matrix (ECM) function, diminished angiogenesis, chronic inflammation, and increased susceptibility to infection. To tackle these challenges and provide a comprehensive therapeutic approach for diabetic wounds, the first coaxial electrospun nanocomposite membrane is developed that incorporates multifunctional copper peroxide nanoparticles (n-CuO2 ). The membrane's nanofiber possesses a unique "core/sheath" structure consisting of n-CuO2 +PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone)/PCL (Polycaprolactone) composite sheath and a PCL core. When exposed to the wound's moist environment, PVP within the sheath gradually disintegrates, releasing the embedded n-CuO2 . Under a weakly acidic microenvironment (typically diabetic and infected wounds), n-CuO2 decomposes to release H2 O2 and Cu2+ ions and subsequently produce ·OH through chemodynamic reactions. This enables the anti-bacterial activity mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), suppressing the inflammation while enhancing angiogenesis. At the same time, the dissolution of PVP unveils unique nano-grooved surface patterns on the nanofibers, providing desirable cell-guiding function required for accelerated skin regeneration. Through meticulous material selection and design, this study pioneers the development of functional nanocomposites for multi-modal wound therapy, which holds great promise in guiding the path to healing for diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Surgical resection is the first-line therapy for breast cancer. However, residual tumor cells and the highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) continue to have a serious impact on tumor recurrence and metastasis postresection. Implantation of an in situ hydrogel system postresection has shown to be an effective treatment with great clinical potential. Herein, an injectable zwitterionic hydrogel system was developed for local drug delivery with enhanced immune activation and prevention of tumor recurrence. Driven by electrostatic interactions, poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) self-assembles into a hydrogel in saline, achieving low protein adsorption and tunable biodegradability. The chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into copper peroxide nanoparticles (CuO2/DOX), which were coated with macrophage membranes to form tumor-targeting nanoparticles (M/CuO2/DOX). Next, M/CuO2/DOX and the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist 2',3'-cGAMP were coloaded into PSBMA hydrogel (Gel@M/CuO2/DOX/STING). The hydrophilic STING agonist was first released by diffusion from hydrogel to activate the STING pathway and upregulate interferon (IFN) signaling related genes, remodeling the immunosuppressive TME. Then, M/CuO2/DOX targeted the residual tumor cells, combining with DOX-induced DNA damage, immunogenic tumor cell death, and copper death. Hence, this work combines chemodynamic therapy with STING pathway activation in TME, encouraging residual tumor cell death, promoting the maturation of dendritic cells, enhancing tumor-specific CD8+ T cell infiltration, and preventing postoperative recurrence and metastasis.

Abstract
The wide applicability of acoustics in the life of mankind spread over health, energy, environment, and others. These acoustic technologies rely on the properties of the materials with which they are made of. However, traditional devices have failed to develop into low-cost, portable devices and need to overcome issues like sensitivity, tunability, and applicability in biological in vivo studies. Nanomaterials, especially 2D materials, have already been proven to produce high optical contrast in photoacoustic applications. One such wonder kid in the materials family is MXenes, which are transition metal carbides, that are nowadays flourishing in the materials world. Recently, it has been demonstrated that MXene nanosheets and quantum dots can be synthesized by acoustic excitations. In addition, MXene can be used as a mechanical sensing material for building piezoresistive sensors to realize sound detection as it produces a sensitive response to pressure and vibration. It has also been demonstrated that MXene nanosheets show high photothermal conversion capability, which can be utilized in cancer treatment and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). In this review, we have rendered the role of acoustics in the palette of MXene, including acoustic synthetic strategies of MXenes, applications such as acoustic sensors, PAI, thermoacoustic devices, sonodynamic therapy, artificial ear drum, and others. The review also discusses the challenges and future prospects of using MXene in acoustic platforms in detail. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review combining acoustic science in MXene research.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging treatment method. In comparison with photodynamic therapy (PDT), SDT exhibits deep penetration, high cell membrane permeability, and free exposure to light capacity. Unfortunately, owing to inappropriate ultrasound parameter selection, poor targeting of sonosensitizers, and the complex tumor environment, SDT is frequently ineffective. In this review, we describe the approaches for selecting ultrasound parameters and how to develop sonosensitizers to increase targeting and improve adverse tumor microenvironments. Furthermore, the potential of combining SDT with other treatment methods, such as chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and immunotherapy, is discussed to further increase the treatment efficiency of SDT.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are composed of small organic molecules linked via covalent bonds, which have tunable mesoporous structure, good biocompatibility and functional diversities. These excellent properties make COFs a promising candidate for constructing biomedical nanoplatforms and provide ample opportunities for nanomedicine development. A systematic review of the linkage types and synthesis methods of COFs is of indispensable value for their biomedical applications. In this review, we first summarize the types of various linkages of COFs and their corresponding properties. Then, we highlight the reaction temperature, solvent and reaction time required by different synthesis methods and show the most suitable synthesis method by comparing the merits and demerits of various methods. To appreciate the cutting-edge research on COFs in bioscience technology, we also summarize the bio-related applications of COFs, including drug delivery, tumor therapy, bioimaging, biosensing and antimicrobial applications. We hope to provide insight into the interdisciplinary research on COFs and promote the development of COF nanomaterials for biomedical applications and their future clinical translations.

Abstract
MXenes and graphene are two-dimensional materials that have gained increasing attention in neuroscience, particularly in sensing, theranostics, and biomedical engineering. Various composites of graphene and MXenes with fascinating thermal, optical, magnetic, mechanical, and electrical properties have been introduced to develop advanced nanosystems for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, as exemplified in the case of biosensors for neurotransmitter detection. These biosensors display high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, making them promising tools for neuroscience research. MXenes have been employed to create high-resolution neural interfaces for neuroelectronic devices, develop neuro-receptor-mediated synapse devices, and stimulate the electrophysiological maturation of neural circuits. On the other hand, graphene/derivatives exhibit therapeutic applicability in neuroscience, as exemplified in the case of graphene oxide for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain. While MXenes and graphene have potential benefits in neuroscience, there are also challenges/limitations associated with their use, such as toxicity, environmental impacts, and limited understanding of their properties. In addition, large-scale production and commercialization as well as optimization of reaction/synthesis conditions and clinical translation studies are very important aspects. Thus, it is important to consider the use of these materials in neuroscience research and conduct further research to obtain an in-depth understanding of their properties and potential applications. By addressing issues related to biocompatibility, long-term stability, targeted delivery, electrical interfaces, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, MXenes and graphene have the potential to greatly advance the field of neuroscience and pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for neurological disorders. Herein, recent advances in therapeutic and diagnostic applications of graphene- and MXene-based materials in neuroscience are discussed, focusing on important challenges and future prospects.

As one of the critical elements that influences treatment outcomes, titanium (Ti)-based sonosensitizers with distinct physicochemical properties and exceptional sonodynamic efficiency have been applied extensively in the field of nanomedical applications. To date, a myriad of methodologies has been designed to manipulate the sonodynamic performance of titanium-involved nanomedicine and further enhance the productivity of reactive oxygen species for disease treatments. In this comprehensive review, the sonocatalytic optimization of diversified Ti-based nanoplatforms, including defect engineering, plasmon resonance modulation, heterojunction, modulating tumor microenvironment, as well as the development of synergistic therapeutic modalities is mainly focused. The state-of-the-art Ti-based nanoplatforms ranging from preparation process to the extensive medical applications are summarized and highlighted, with the goal of elaborating on future research prospects and providing a perspective on the bench-to-beside translation of these sonocatalytic optimization tactics. Furthermore, to spur further technological advancements in nanomedicine, the difficulties currently faced and the direction of sonocatalytic optimization of Ti-based therapeutic nanomedicine are proposed and outlooked.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has gained significant attention in the treatment of deep tumors and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections due to its high tissue penetration depth, high spatiotemporal selectivity, and noninvasive therapeutic method. SDT combines low-intensity ultrasound (US) and sonosensitizers to produce lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) and external damage, which is the main mechanism behind this therapy. However, traditional organic small-molecule sonosensitizers display poor water solubility, strong phototoxicity, and insufficient targeting ability. Inorganic sonosensitizers, on the other hand, have low ROS yield and poor biocompatibility. These drawbacks have hindered SDT's clinical transformation and application. Hence, designing stimuli-responsive nano-sonosensitizers that make use of the lesion's local microenvironment characteristics and US stimulation is an excellent alternative for achieving efficient, specific, and safe treatment. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the currently accepted mechanisms in SDT and discuss the application of responsive nano-sonosensitizers in the treatment of tumor and bacterial infections. Additionally, we emphasize the significance of the principle and process of response, based on the classification of response patterns. Finally, this review emphasizes the potential limitations and future perspectives of SDT that need to be addressed to promote its clinical transformation.

Abstract
Non-invasive localization of lesions and specific targeted therapy are still the main challenges for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ta, as a medical metal element, has been widely used in the treatment of different diseases because of its excellent physicochemical properties but is still far from being explored in IBD. Here, Ta2 C modified with chondroitin sulfate (CS) (TACS) is evaluated as a highly targeted therapy nanomedicine for IBD. Specifically, TACS is modified with dual targeting CS functions due to IBD lesion-specific positive charges and high expression of CD44 receptors. Thanks to the acid stability, sensitive CT imaging function, and strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination ability, oral TACS can accurately locate and delineate IBD lesions through non-invasive CT imaging, and specifically targeted treat IBD effectively because high levels of ROS are a central factor in the progression of IBD. As expected, TACS has much better imaging and therapeutic effects than clinical CT contrast agent and first-line drug 5-aminosalicylic acid, respectively. The mechanism of TACS treatment mainly involves protection of mitochondria, elimination of oxidative stress, inhibiting macrophage M1 polarization, protection of intestinal barrier, and restoration of intestinal flora balance. Collectively, this work provides unprecedented opportunities for oral nanomedicines to targeted therapy of IBD.

Abstract
Phototherapy and sonotherapy are recognized by scientific medicine as effective strategies for treating certain cancers. However, these strategies have limitations such as an inability to penetrate deeper tissues and overcome the antioxidant tumor microenvironment. In this study, a novel "BH" interfacial-confined coordination strategy to synthesize hyaluronic acid-functionalized single copper atoms dispersed over boron imidazolate framework-derived nanocubes (HA-NC_Cu) to achieve sonothermal-catalytic synergistic therapy is reported. Notably, HA-NC_Cu demonstrates exceptional sonothermal conversion performance under low-intensity ultrasound irradiation, attained through intermolecular lattice vibrations. In addition, it shows promise as an efficient biocatalyst, able to generate high-toxicity hydroxyl radicals in response to tumor-endogenous hydrogen peroxide and glutathione. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the superior parallel catalytic performance of HA-NC_Cu originates from the CuN4 C/B active sites. Both in vitro and in vivo evaluations consistently demonstrate that the sonothermal-catalytic synergistic strategy significantly improves tumor inhibition rate (86.9%) and long-term survival rate (100%). In combination with low-intensity ultrasound irradiation, HA-NC_Cu triggers a dual death pathway of apoptosis and ferroptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, comprehensively limiting primary triple-negative breast cancer. This study highlights the applications of single-atom-coordinated nanotherapeutics in sonothermal-catalytic synergistic therapy, which may create new opportunities in biomedical research.

Abstract
The rapid development of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) provides a promising strategy for treating deep-seated multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infection. However, the extreme scarcity of biologically functional and highly efficient sonosensitizers severely limits the further clinical practice of SDT. Herein, the lattice-strain-rich Ti3C2 (LS-Ti3C2) with greatly improved sonosensitizing effect is one-step synthesized using Ti3C2 and meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP) by the solvothermal method for realizing extraordinary SDT. The intervention of TCPP causes all the Ti-O chemical bonds and most of the Ti-F chemical bonds on the surface layer of Ti3C2 to break down. The amino groups of TCPP are then recombined with these exposed Ti atoms to perturb the order of the Ti atoms, resulting in displacement of the Ti atoms and final lattice structural distortion of Ti3C2. The inherent lattice strain narrows the band gap of Ti3C2, which mainly facilitates the electron-hole pair separation and electron transfer under ultrasound irradiation, thereby resulting in US-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the subsequent robust bactericidal capability (99.77 ± 0.16%) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Overall, this research offers a perspective into the development of Ti-familial sonosensitizers toward SDT practice.

Abstract
Surface chemistry influences not only physicochemical properties but also safety and applications of MXene nanomaterials. Fluorinated Ti3 C2 Tx MXene, synthesized using conventional HF-based etchants, raises concerns regarding harmful effects on electronics and toxicity to living organisms. In this study, well-delaminated halogen-free Ti3 C2 Tx flakes are synthesized using NaOH-based etching solution. The transversal surface plasmon mode of halogen-free Ti3 C2 Tx MXene (833 nm) confirmed red-shift compared to conventional Ti3 C2 Tx (752 nm), and the halogen-free Ti3 C2 Tx MXene has a different density of state by the high proportion of -O and -OH terminations. The synthesized halogen-free Ti3 C2 Tx exhibits a lower water contact angle (34.5°) and work function (3.6 eV) than those of fluorinated Ti3 C2 Tx (49.8° and 4.14 eV, respectively). The synthesized halogen-free Ti3 C2 Tx exhibits high biocompatibility with the living cells, as evidenced by no noticeable cytotoxicity, even at very high concentrations (2000 µg mL⁻1 ), at which fluorinated Ti3 C2 Tx caused ≈50% reduction in cell viability upon its oxidation. Additionally, the oxidation stability of halogen-free Ti3 C2 Tx is enhanced unexpectedly, which cumulatively provides a good rationale for pursuing the halogen-free routes for synthesizing MXene materials for their uses in biomedical and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GB) and high-risk neuroblastoma (NB) are known to have poor therapeutic outcomes. As for most cancers, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the current mainstay treatments for GB and NB. However, the known limitations of systemic toxicity, drug resistance, poor targeted delivery, and inability to access the blood-brain barrier (BBB), make these treatments less satisfactory. Other treatment options have been investigated in many studies in the literature, especially nutraceutical and naturopathic products, most of which have also been reported to be poorly effective against these cancer types. This necessitates the development of treatment strategies with the potential to cross the BBB and specifically target cancer cells. Compounds that target the endopeptidase, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), have been reported to offer therapeutic insights for GB and NB since MMP-2 is known to be over-expressed in these cancers and plays significant roles in such physiological processes as angiogenesis, metastasis, and cellular invasion. Chlorotoxin (CTX) is a promising 36-amino acid peptide isolated from the venom of the deathstalker scorpion, Leiurus quinquestriatus, demonstrating high selectivity and binding affinity to a broad-spectrum of cancers, especially GB and NB through specific molecular targets, including MMP-2. The favorable characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs) such as their small sizes, large surface area for active targeting, BBB permeability, etc. make CTX-functionalized NPs (CTX-NPs) promising diagnostic and therapeutic applications for addressing the many challenges associated with these cancers. CTX-NPs may function by improving diffusion through the BBB, enabling increased localization of chemotherapeutic and genotherapeutic drugs to diseased cells specifically, enhancing imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), optical imaging techniques, image-guided surgery, as well as improving the sensitization of radio-resistant cells to radiotherapy treatment. This review discusses the characteristics of GB and NB cancers, related treatment challenges as well as the potential of CTX and its functionalized NP formulations as targeting systems for diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic purposes. It also provides insights into the potential mechanisms through which CTX crosses the BBB to bind cancer cells and provides suggestions for the development and application of novel CTX-based formulations for the diagnosis and treatment of GB and NB in the future.

Abstract
The peroxidase-like activity of Ti3C2 nanosheets (Ti3C2 NSs) was evaluated by catalytic oxidation of colorless o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into orange-yellow 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with the aid of H2O2. The catalytic behavior followed the typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Systematic studies about the catalytic activity of Ti3C2 NSs including cytochrome C (Cyt C) electron transfer experiments, radical capture experiments, and fluorescence analysis were conducted, revealing that the catalytic mechanism of Ti3C2 NSs was attributed to nanozyme-accelerated electron transfer between substrates and nanozyme-promoted generation of active species (superoxide anion free radical (·O2-) and holes (h+)). Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) inhibited the peroxidase-like activity of Ti3C2 NSs, and the reduced catalytic activity was ascribed to DNA-hindered substrate accessibility to nanozyme surface. Based on the DNA controllable peroxidase-mimicking activity of Ti3C2 NSs, taking microcystin-LR (MC-LR) aptamer as an example, a label-free colorimetric aptasensor was proposed for the sensitive detection of MC-LR. The colorimetric aptasensor showed a wide linear range (0.01-60 ng mL-1), low limit of detection (6.5 pg mL-1), and high selectivity. The practicality of the colorimetric aptasensor was demonstrated by detecting different levels of MC-LR in spiked real water samples; satisfactory recoveries (97.2-102.1%) and low relative standard deviations (1.16-3.72%) were obtained.

Abstract
Bismuth sulfide is widely used as an n-type semiconductor material in photocatalytic reactions. However, bismuth sulfide has poor absorption in the near-infrared region and low charge separation efficiency, limiting its application in phototherapy and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In this study, we successfully synthesized an "all-in-one" phototheranostic nanoplatform, namely Bi2S3-x-Au@HA, based on a single second near-infrared (NIR-II) light-responsive Schottky-type Bi2S3-x-Au heterostructure for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided SDT-enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT). Bi2S3-x-Au@HA exhibits excellent NIR-II plasmonic and photothermal properties, rendering it with NIR-II PA imaging capabilities for accurate diagnosis. Additionally, the high-density sulfur vacancies constructed on the Bi2S3 surface cause it to possess a reduced band gap (1.21 eV) that can act as an electron trap. Using the density functional theory, we confirmed that the light and ultrasound-induced electrons are more likely to aggregate on the Au nanoparticle surface through interfacial self-assembly, which promotes electron-hole separation and enhances photocatalytic activity with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. With a further modification of hyaluronic acid (HA), Bi2S3-x-Au@HA can selectively target cancer cells through HA and CD44 protein interactions. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that Bi2S3-x-Au@HA effectively suppressed tumor growth through SDT-enhanced PTT/PDT under a single NIR-II laser and ultrasound irradiation with negligible toxicity. Our findings provide a framework for fabricating Schottky-type heterostructures as single NIR-II light-responsive nanotheranostic agents for PA imaging-guided cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Purpose: MXene is two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials that comprise transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides. Their unique nanostructure attributes it a special role in medical applications. However, bibliometric studies have not been conducted in this field. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the global scientific output of MXene in biomedical research, explore the current situation of this field in the past years and predicte its research hotpots. Methods: We utilized visual analysis softwares Citespace and Bibliometrix to analyze all relevant documents published in the period of 2011-2022. The bibliometric records were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. Results: A total of 1,489 publications were analyzed in this study. We observed that China is the country with the largest number of publications, with Sichuan University being the institution with the highest number of publications in this field. The most publications on MXene medicine research in the past year were found primarily in journals about Chemistry/Materials/Physics. Moreover, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces was found to be the most productive journal in this field. Co-cited references and keyword cluster analysis revealed that #antibacterial# and #photothermal therapy# are the research focus keyword and burst detection suggested that driven wearable electronics were newly-emergent research hot spots. Conclusion: Our bibliometric analysis indicates that research on MXene medical application remains an active field of study. At present, the research focus is on the application of MXene in the field of antibacterial taking advantage of its photothermal properties. In the future, wearable electronics is the research direction of MXene medical application.

Abstract
Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a major threat for implant failure in orthopedics. Herein, we report a dual-functional coating on Ti implants (named Ti/PDA/BP) with the integration of two-dimensional (2D) photo-sono sensitive black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) and polydopamine (PDA) for efficient bacterial inhibition and bone-implant integration. For the first time, we employ BPNSs as generators of reactive radicals (ROS) under ultrasound (US) stimuli for implant associated infection. Additionally, the application of PDA improves the stability of BPNSs, the biocompatibility and photothermal performance of this hybrid coating. The as-prepared Ti/PDA/BP coating exhibits superior biocompatibility, bioactivity, photothermal and sonodynamic conversion abilities. Owing to the synergistic effect of hyperthermia and ·OH, Ti/PDA/BP damages the membrane and antioxidant system of Staphylococcus aureus, reaching a high antibacterial activity of 96.6% in vitro and 97.3% in vivo with rapid 10 min NIR irradiation and 20 min US treatment. In addition, we firstly unveil the significant effect of Ti/PDA/BP-based sonodynamic therapy (SDT) on bacterial membrane and oxidative stress at the transcriptome level. Moreover, the Ti/PDA/BP coating remarkably promotes osteogenesis in vitro and bone-implant osseointegration in vivo. Overall, development of Ti/PDA/BP bioactive coating provides a new strategy for combating the implant associated infection.

Abstract
The mutations of bacteria due to the excessive use of antibiotics, and generation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have made the development of new antibacterial compounds a necessity. MXenes have emerged as biocompatible transition metal carbide structures with extensive biomedical applications. This is related to the MXenes' unique combination of properties, including multifarious elemental compositions, 2D-layered structure, large surface area, abundant surface terminations, and excellent photothermal and photoelectronic properties. The focus of this review is the antibacterial application of MXenes, which has attracted the attention of researchers since 2016. A quick overview of the synthesis strategies of MXenes is provided and then summarizes the effect of various factors (including structural properties, optical properties, surface charges, flake size, and dispersibility) on the biocidal activity of MXenes. The main mechanisms for deactivating bacteria by MXenes are discussed in detail including rupturing of the bacterial membrane by sharp edges of MXenes nanoflakes, generating the reactive oxygen species (ROS), and photothermal deactivating of bacteria. Hybridization of MXenes with other organic and inorganic materials can result in materials with improved biocidal activities for different applications such as wound dressings and water purification. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of MXene nanomaterials as biocidal agents are presented.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has been a promising therapeutic modality for cancer because of its superior advantages compared with other therapeutic strategies. However, the current sonosensitizers used for SDT normally exhibit low activity for ultrasound (US)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Herein, the crystalline-to-amorphous phase transformation is reported as a simple but powerful strategy to engineer ultrathin 2D CoW-LDH and NiW-LDH nanosheets as highly efficient sonosensitizers for SDT. The phase transformation of CoW-LDH and NiW-LDH nanosheets from polycrystalline to amorphous ones is achieved through a simple acid etching treatment. Importantly, compared with the polycrystalline one, the amorphous CoW-LDH (a-CoW-LDH) nanosheets possess higher ROS generation activity under US irradiation, which is ≈17 times of the commercial TiO2 sonosensitizer. The results suggest that the enhanced performance of ultrathin a-CoW-LDH nanosheets for US-induced ROS generation may be attributed to the phase transformation-induced defect generation and electronic structure changes. After polyethylene glycol modification, the a-CoW-LDH nanosheets can serve as a high-efficiency sonosensitizer for SDT to achieve cell death in vitro and tumor eradication in vivo under US irradiation.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is considered as a new-rising strategy for cancer therapeutics, but the inefficient production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by current sonosensitizers seriously hinders its further applications. Herein, a piezoelectric nanoplatform is fabricated for enhancing SDT against cancer, in which manganese oxide (MnOx) with multiple enzyme-like activities is loaded on the surface of piezoelectric bismuth oxychloride nanosheets (BiOCl NSs) to form a heterojunction. When exposed to ultrasound (US) irradiation, piezotronic effect can remarkably promote the separation and transport of US-induced free charges, and further enhance ROS generation in SDT. Meanwhile, the nanoplatform shows multiple enzyme-like activities from MnOx, which can not only downregulate the intracellular glutathione (GSH) level, but also disintegrate endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate oxygen (O2) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH). As a result, the anticancer nanoplatform substantially boosts ROS generation and reverses tumor hypoxia. Ultimately, it reveals remarkable biocompatibility and tumor suppression in a murine model of 4 T1 breast cancer under US irradiation. This work provides a feasible pathway for improving SDT using piezoelectric platforms.

Abstract
Currently, finite intratumoral H2O2 content has restricted the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Here, Cu-Ni0.85Se@PEG nanoparticles are constructed to display intracellular NIR-II photocatalytic H2O2 supplement. The formation mechanism is explored to discover that H2O2 generation is dominated by photo-excited electrons and dissolved O2 via a typical sequential single-electron transfer process. Both density functional theory calculation and experimental data confirm its metallic feature that endows the great NIR-II absorption and photothermal conversion efficiency (59.6 %, 1064 nm). Furthermore, the photothermal-assisting consecutive interband and intraband transition in metallic catalyst contributes to the high redox capacity and efficient separation/transfer ability of photo-generated charges, boosting H2O2 production under 1064 nm laser irradiation. In addition, Cu-Ni0.85Se@PEG possess mimic peroxidase and catalase activity, leading to in-situ H2O2 activation to produce ∙OH and O2 for the enhanced CDT and hypoxia relief. What's more, the nanomaterials reveal novel biodegradation that is derived from oxidation from insolvable selenide into soluble selenate, resulting in elimination via feces and urine within 2 weeks. Synergistic CDT and photothermal therapy (PTT) further lead to great tumor inhibition and immune response for anti-tumor. The antitumor mechanism and the potential biological process also are investigated by high-throughput sequencing of expressed transcripts (RNAseq). The great treatment performance is responsible for the regulation of related oxidative stress and stimulus genes to induce organelle (mitochondrial) and membrane dysfunction. Besides, the synergistic therapy also can efficiently evoke immune response to further fight against tumor.

Abstract
Conferring catalytic defects in sonosensitizers is of paramount importance in reinforcing sonodynamic therapy. However, the formation of such 0D defects is governed by the Schottky defect principle. Herein, 2D catalytic planar defects are designed within Ti3 C2 sheets to address this challenge. These specific planar slip dislocations with abundant Ti3+ species (Ti3 C2 -SD(Ti3+ )) can yield surface-bound O due to the effective activation of O2 , thus resulting in a substantial amount of 1 O2 generation and the 99.72% ± 0.03% bactericidal capability subject to ultrasound (US) stimulation. It is discovered that the 2D catalytic planar defects can intervene in electron transfer through the phonon drag effect-a coupling effect between surface electrons and US-triggered phonons-that simultaneously contributes to a dramatic decrease in O2 activation energy from 1.65 to 0.06 eV. This design has achieved a qualitative leap in which the US catalytic site has transformed from 0D to 2D. Moreover, it is revealed that the electron origin, electron transfer, and visible O2 activation pathway triggered by US can be attributed to the phonon-electron coupling effect. After coating with neutrophil membrane (NM) proteins, the NM-Ti3 C2 -SD(Ti3+ ) sheets further demonstrate a 6-log10 reduction in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus burden in the infected bony tissue.

Abstract
The efficacy of cancer catalytic therapy is still hindered by the inefficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, we report a self-driven electrical stimulation-promoted cancer catalytic therapy and chemotherapy by integrating a human-driven triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with an implantable and biodegradable nanofibrous patch. The gelatin/polycaprolactone nanofibrous patch incorporates doxorubicin (DOX) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), in which the peroxidase (POD)-like activity of g-C3N4 to produce hydroxyl radical (•OH) can be distinctly enhanced by the self-driven electrical stimulation for 4.12-fold, and simultaneously DOX can be released to synergize the therapy, especially under a weakly acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) condition. The in vitro and in vivo experimental results on a mouse breast cancer model demonstrate superior tumor suppression outcome. The self-powered electrical stimulation-enhanced catalytic therapy and chemotherapy via multifunctional nanofibrous patches proposes a new complementary strategy for the catalytic therapy of solid tumors.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in physiological and pathological processes, emerging as a therapeutic target in cancer. Owing to the high concentration of ROS in solid tumor tissues, ROS-based treatments, such as photodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy, and ROS-responsive drug delivery systems have been widely explored to powerfully and specifically suppress tumors. However, their anticancer efficacy is still hampered by the heterogeneous ROS levels, and thus comprehensively upregulating the ROS levels in tumor tissues can ensure an enhanced therapeutic effect, which can further sensitize and/or synergize with other therapies to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. Herein, we review the recently emerging drug delivery strategies and technologies for increasing the H2O2, ˙OH, 1O2, and ˙O2- concentrations in cancer cells, including the efficient delivery of natural enzymes, nanozymes, small molecular biological molecules, and nanoscale Fenton-reagents and semiconductors and neutralization of intracellular antioxidant substances and localized input of mechanical and electromagnetic waves (such as ultrasound, near infrared light, microwaves, and X-rays). The applications of these ROS-upregulating nanosystems in enhancing and synergizing cancer therapies including chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are surveyed. In addition, we discuss the challenges of ROS-upregulating systems and the prospects for future studies.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) represents a promising therapeutic modality for treating breast cancer, which relies on the generation of abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce oxidative stress damage. However, mutant breast cancers, especially triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), have evolved to acquire specific antioxidant defense functions, significantly limiting the killing efficiency of SDT. Herein, the authors have engineered a distinct single copper atom-doped titanium dioxide (Cu/TiO2 ) nanosonosensitizer with highly catalytic and sonosensitive activities for synergistic chemodynamic and sonodynamic treatment of TNBC. The single-atom Cu is anchored on the most stable Ti vacancies of hollow TiO2 sonosensitizers, which not only substantially improved the catalytic activity of Cu-mediated Fenton-like reaction, but also considerably augmented the sonodynamic efficiency of TiO2 by facilitating the separation of electrons (e- ) and holes (h+ ). Both the in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that the engineered single atom-doped nanosonosensitizers effectively achieved the significantly inhibitory effect of TNBC, providing a therapeutic paradigm for non-invasive and safe tumor elimination through the mutual process of sono/chemo-nanodynamic therapy based on multifunctional single-atom nanosonosensitizers.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted increasing attention for biomedical applications. COFs-based nanosensitizers with uniform nanoscale morphology and tumor-specific curative effects are in high demand; however, their synthesis is yet challenging. In this study, distinct COF nanobowls are synthesized in a controlled manner and engineered as activatable nanosensitizers with tumor-specific sonodynamic activity. High crystallinity ensures an ordered porous structure of COF nanobowls for the efficient loading of the small-molecule sonosensitizer rose bengal (RB). To circumvent non-specific damage to normal tissues, the sonosensitization effect is specifically inhibited by the in situ growth of manganese oxide (MnOx ) on RB-loaded COFs. Upon reaction with tumor-overexpressed glutathione (GSH), the "gatekeeper" MnOx is rapidly decomposed to recover the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capability of the COF nanosensitizers under ultrasound irradiation. Increased intracellular ROS stress and GSH consumption concomitantly induce ferroptosis to improve sonodynamic efficacy. Additionally, the unconventional bowl-shaped morphology renders the nanosensitizers with enhanced tumor accumulation and retention. The combination of tumor-specific sonodynamic therapy and ferroptosis achieves high efficacy in killing cancer cells and inhibiting tumor growth. This study paves the way for the development of COF nanosensitizers with unconventional morphologies for biomedicine, offering a paradigm to realize activatable and ferroptosis-augmented sonodynamic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an innovative and effective treatment that relies on the Fenton or Fenton-like reaction, in which endogenous H2O2 overproduction is converted into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to suppress tumor growth. Nevertheless, the therapeutic efficiency of CDT is severely restricted by undesirable properties, such as reaction conditions and catalyst performance. Herein, a 2D Ti3C2 MXene/Cu2O nanosheet (MCP NS)-based multifunctional nanoplatform (3-BP@MCG NSs) has been constructed, in which glucose oxidase (GOx) and respiration inhibitor 3-bromopyruvate (3-BP) are sequentially embedded. In this structure, the copper-based catalyst Cu2O releases Cu+ in an acid-triggered manner in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which activates the Fenton-like reaction to catalyze the generation of •OH for CDT. The composite has excellent photothermal properties and a high-resolution photoacoustic imaging (PAI) capability in the near-infrared (NIR) region, and especially under NIR irradiation, the photothermal effect generated by the nanosheets accelerates catalysis. GOx is a natural enzyme catalyst for depleting glucose and oxygen content in cells, upregulating H2O2 levels in situ, and thereby improving the therapeutic effect of CDT. What is more, the supported 3-BP not only reduces oxygen consumption to alleviate hypoxia levels but also inhibits the glycolysis process and lowers ATP levels by suppressing hexokinase activity. As a result, 3-BP@MCG NSs optimize the unique properties of MCP NSs, GOx, and 3-BP via mutual promotion, realizing self-enhanced PTT/CDT synergistic therapy. This work establishes an emerging strategy for highly efficient PAI-guided integrated treatment and provides a proof of concept for the cooperation of hypoxia relief and in situ H2O2 and NIR synergistic enhancement to improve therapeutic efficiency.

Abstract
To fully understand the function of the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in regulating plant growth and development, we need to monitor their levels and distribution with high spatial and temporal resolution. In this work, an anthracene-based fluorescent biosensor for IAA was prepared using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a bio-template. The single linear oxygen (1O2) specifically produced by IAA catalyzed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) turns on the fluorescence of the probe, enabling specific trace sensing of IAA in the presence of multiple structural analogues. The presence of the bio-template BSA extends the biocompatibility of the probe, enabling visual monitoring of the level and distribution signal of endogenous IAA of plants in the field of bioimaging. In addition, the strategy has shown potential for application in portable paper-based sensors and in vivo fluorescent flower culture. This work provides a technical and theoretical basis for exploring the growth regulatory mechanisms of IAA in plants at the molecular level.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a newly developed approach for cancer treatment, can convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by using Fenton/Fenton-like reaction to kill tumor cells. However, due to the complexity of the intracellular environment of tumor cells, the therapeutic efficacy of CDT was severely restricted. Recently, combination therapy strategies have become popular approaches for tumor treatment, and there are numerous studies have demonstrated that the CDT-based combination strategies can significantly improve the anti-tumor efficiency of CDT. In this review, we outline some of the recent progress in cancer chemodynamic therapy from 2020, and discuss the progress in the design of nanosystems for CDT synergistic combination therapies.

Abstract
MXenes and MXene-based composite materials have potential applications in a wide range of areas due to their unique physical and chemical characteristics. At present, it is still a major challenge to develop a simple, safe, and efficient route to prepare MXenes without using fluorinated etchants. Herein, we design a facile method to prepare Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets by selectively etching Ti3AlC2 powders in an aqueous diluted H2SO4 solution with H2O2 as an oxidant. In a system of H2SO4 and H2O2, an aqueous H2SO4 solution with a concentration of 6 mol/L is a strongly acidic medium with no volatility, and 30% H2O2 acts as a strong green oxidizer without harmful by-products. The experimental process is safe and convenient to conduct in a beaker under a water bath of 40°C. The etching process can be completed in 1 h under the air atmosphere conditions. The experimental results confirmed that the etched Ti3AlC2 powders can be successfully separated into Ti3C2Tx nanosheets under ultrasound treatment without using any intercalation agent. The relevant etching mechanism is may be attributed to the synergy effect of H2SO4 and H2O2, which triggers sequential selective etching of Al layers from the Ti3AlC2 phase. It may provide a new green way to prepare MXene-based materials without using toxic HF or HF-containing etchants.

Abstract
The last decade witnessed the emergence of a new family of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides named MXenes, which quickly gained momentum due to their exceptional electrical, mechanical, optical, and tunable functionalities. These outstanding properties also rendered them attractive materials for biomedical and biosensing applications, including drug delivery systems, antimicrobial applications, tissue engineering, sensor probes, auxiliary agents for photothermal therapy and hyperthermia applications, etc. The hydrophilic nature of MXenes with rich surface functional groups is advantageous for biomedical applications over hydrophobic nanoparticles that may require complicated surface modifications. As an emerging 2D material with numerous phases and endless possible combinations with other 2D materials, 1D materials, nanoparticles, macromolecules, polymers, etc., MXenes opened a vast terra incognita for diverse biomedical applications. Recently, MXene research picked up the pace and resulted in a flood of literature reports with significant advancements in the biomedical field. In this context, this review will discuss the recent advancements, design principles, and working mechanisms of some interesting MXene-based biomedical applications. It also includes major progress, as well as key challenges of various types of MXenes and functional MXenes in conjugation with drug molecules, metallic nanoparticles, polymeric substrates, and other macromolecules. Finally, the future possibilities and challenges of this magnificent material are discussed in detail.
