Abstract
Analogous to thermal ablation techniques in clinical settings, cell necrosis induced during tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) can provoke an inflammatory response that is detrimental to the treatment of tumors. In this study, we employed a straightforward one-step liquid-phase reduction process to synthesize uniform RhRe nanozymes with an average hydrodynamic size of 41.7 nm for non-inflammatory photothermal therapy. The obtained RhRe nanozymes showed efficient near-infrared (NIR) light absorption for effective PTT, coupled with a remarkable capability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) for anti-inflammatory treatment. After laser irradiation, the 4T1 tumors were effectively ablated without obvious tumor recurrence within 14 days, along with no obvious increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Notably, these RhRe nanozymes demonstrated high biocompatibility with normal cells and tissues, both in vitro and in vivo, as evidenced by the lack of significant toxicity in female BALB/c mice treated with 10 mg/kg of RhRe nanozymes over a 14 day period. This research highlights RhRe alloy nanoparticles as bioactive nanozymes for non-inflammatory PTT in tumor therapy.

Abstract
Polydopamine nanomaterials have emerged as one of the most popular organic materials for management of oxidative stress-mediated inflammatory diseases. However, their current anti-inflammatory ability is still unsatisfied because of limited phenolic hydroxyl groups and oxidation reaction-medicated reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging. Herein, via fusing dimension engineering and surface charge engineering, we reported two-dimension (2D) cationic polydopamine nanosheets (PDA NSs) capable of scavenging multiple danger signals to enhance anti-inflammatory capability. Compared with conventional spherical polydopamine nanoparticles, 2D PDA NSs exhibited 3∼4-fold enhancement in RONS scavenging capability, which should be attributed to high specific surface area and abundant phenol groups of 2D ultrathin structure. To further enhance the anti-inflammatory ability, polylysine molecules were absorbed on the surface of PDA NSs to endow the scavenging capability of cell-free DNA (cfDNA), another typical inflammatory factor to exacerbate the pathogenesis of inflammation. Molecular mechanisms revealed that cationic PDA NSs could concurrently activate Keap1-Nrf2 and block TLR9 signaling pathway, achieving synergistical inflammation inhibition. As a proof of concept, cationic PDA NSs with RONS and cfDNA dual-scavenging capability effectively alleviated the inflammatory bowel disease in both delayed and prophylactic models, much better than the clinical drug 5-aminosalicylic acid.

Abstract
Percutaneous thermotherapy, a minimally invasive operational procedure, is employed in the ablation of deep tumor lesions by means of target-delivering heat. Conventional thermal ablation methods, such as radiofrequency or microwave ablation, to a certain extent, are subjected to extended ablation time as well as biosafety risks of unwanted overheating. Given its effectiveness and safety, percutaneous thermotherapy gains a fresh perspective, thanks to magnetic hyperthermia. In this respect, an injectable- and magnetic-hydrogel-construct-based thermal ablation agent is likely to be a candidate for the aforementioned clinical translation. Adopting a simple and environment-friendly strategy, a magnetic colloidal hydrogel injection is introduced by a binary system comprising super-paramagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles and gelatin nanoparticles. The colloidal hydrogel constructs, unlike conventional bulk hydrogel, can be easily extruded through a percutaneous needle and then self-heal in a reversible manner owing to the unique electrostatic cross-linking. The introduction of magnetic building blocks is exhibited with a rapid magnetothermal response to an alternating magnetic field. Such hydrogel injection is capable of generating heat without limitation of deep penetration. The materials achieve outstanding therapeutic results in mouse and rabbit models. These findings constitute a new class of locoregional interventional thermal therapies with minimal collateral damages.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is steadily becoming the chief reason for drug-induced acute liver failure, yet limited treatment is currently clinically available. Considering that the mechanism of APAP-induced hepatotoxicity is inseparable from oxidative stress and inflammation, a biocompatible Mn3O4 nanozyme mimicking superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities and possessing reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging capacity and antiapoptotic properties, is reported herein as a promising nanodrug to treat APAP-induced liver injury (AILI). Possessing bioactive enzyme-like functions, Mn3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) can not only reduce the oxidative stress on the liver by decreasing ROS accumulation but also downregulate the infiltration of inflammatory macrophages that secrete proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6). Notably, the bifunctional Mn3O4 NPs mediate nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 signaling pathway activation and nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway inhibition to effectively prevent the already fragile APAP-overdosed murine hepatocytes from being attacked again, thus mitigating hepatocyte apoptosis and alleviating APAP-induced liver damage. Thus, the Mn3O4 nanozyme (Mn3O4 NPs) evaluated in this study has potential preventive and therapeutic effects on AILI.

Abstract
Owing to societal development and aging population, the impact of cancer on human health and quality of life has increased. Early detection and surgical treatment are the most effective approaches for most cancer patients. As the scope of conventional tumor resection is determined by auxiliary examination and surgeon experience, there is often insufficient recognition of tiny tumors. The ability to detect such tumors can be improved by using fluorescent tumor-specific probes for surgical navigation. This review mainly describes the design principles and mechanisms of activatable probes for the fluorescence imaging of tumors. This type of probe is nonfluorescent in normal tissue but exhibits obvious fluorescence emission upon encountering tumor-specific substrates, such as enzymes or bioactive molecules, or changes in the microenvironment, such as a low pH. In some cases, a single-factor response does not guarantee the effective fluorescence labeling of tumors. Therefore, two-factor-activatable fluorescence imaging probes that react with two specific factors in tumor cells have also been developed. Compared with single biomarker testing, the simultaneous monitoring of multiple biomarkers may provide additional insight into the role of these substances in cancer development and aid in improving the accuracy of early cancer diagnosis. Research and progress in this field can provide new methods for precision medicine and targeted therapy. The development of new approaches for early diagnosis and treatment can effectively improve the prognosis of cancer patients and help enhance their quality of life.

Abstract
The remarkable biocapacity, injectability, and adaptability of colloidal gels have led to their widespread usage in tissue engineering as irregular defect implants. However, multifunctionalities including electroconductivity and antibacterial property are highly required for colloidal gels. In addition, the inherently weak mechanical property of physically crosslinked colloidal gels limits their application. Herein, we present Ag nanowires (Ag NWs)-reinforced colloidal gels composed of biocompatible gelatin nanoparticles and polydopamine-modified Ag NWs through the controlled electrostatic assembly, which are injectable and conductive. One-dimensional Ag NWs can significantly improve the mechanical and electrical properties of the colloidal gel while maintaining its inherent excellent injectability. Owing to the network of Ag NWs, the storage modulus and conductivity of the optimized Ag NW colloidal gel are 7.5 and 13 times higher, respectively, than those of the colloidal gel made up of polydopamine-modified Ag nanoparticles with equivalent Ag concentration. Furthermore, this Ag NW colloidal gel can adapt to sharp wounds on skin, which accelerates the healing of a MRSA-infected wound via electrical stimulation. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Elemental sulfur is the oldest known antimicrobial agent. However, conventional sulfur in the clinic suffers from poor aqueous solubility and limited antibacterial activity, greatly hindering its practical use. Herein, we report a reform strategy coupling dimension engineering with chirality transfer to convert conventional 3D sulfur particles into chiral 2D sulfur nanosheets (S-NSs), which exhibit 50-fold improvement of antibacterial capability and dual-selective inhibition against Gram-positive bacteria. Benefiting from the inherent selectivity of S-NSs and chirality selectivity from decorated d-histidine, the obtained chiral S-NSs are proven to precisely kill Gram-positive drug-resistant bacteria, while no obvious bacterial inhibition is observed for Gram-negative bacteria. Mechanism studies reveal that S-NSs produce numerous reactive oxygen specipoes and hydrogen sulfide after incubation with bacteria, thus causing bacterial membrane destruction, respiratory chain damage, and ATP production inhibition. Upon spraying chiral S-NSs dispersions onto MRSA-infected wounds, the skin healing process was greatly accelerated in 8 days due to metabolism inhibition and oxidative damage of bacteria, indicating the excellent treatment efficiency of MRSA-infected wounds. This work converts the traditional well-known sulfur into modern antibacterial agents with a superior Gram-selectivity bactericidal capability.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death induced by excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation, has recently attracted extensive attention due to its ability to effectively suppress tumors and overcome drug resistance. Unlike previously reported metal nanomaterials that induce ferroptosis via the Fenton reaction, arsenene nanosheets can effectively deplete intracellular glutathione and then induce ferroptosis by inhibiting glutathione peroxidase 4. In this study, we designed target-modified arsenene nanosheets loaded with cisplatin (Her2-ANs@CDDP), which are capable of selective uptake by tumor cells. Her2-ANs@CDDP promotes both apoptosis and ferroptosis through a reciprocal cascade reaction between cisplatin and the carrier, respectively, and we demonstrate that it can significantly inhibit the activity of drug-resistant cells. Arsenene nanosheets kill drug-resistant tumor cells by inducing ferroptosis and restoring the sensitivity of drug-resistant cells to cisplatin. Cisplatin-loaded arsenene nanosheets can be prepared simply, and exert synergistic effects that overcome drug resistance. They show great potential for applications in the clinical treatment of chemotherapy-insensitive osteosarcoma, expanding the uses of arsenic in the treatment of solid tumors.

Abstract
Metallenes, atomically thin-layered materials composed of coordination-deficient metal atoms, have emerged as a new category of two-dimensional materials. Metallenes exhibit exciting properties with a fusion of atom economy, ultrathin structure, photonic properties, and catalytic activity, which make them intriguing for a wide range of applications in biomedicine. The development of biomedical applications of metallenes is in its infancy yet fast-growing. In this review, after a brief introduction of the definition, structures, properties, and classification of metallenes, we outline two common synthesis strategies and identify their shortcomings. Then, we comprehensively discuss the biological effects of metallenes, such as nano-biointeractions and signaling pathway regulation. We also highlight their recent advances in biomedical applications, including antitumor, biosensing, bioimaging, antibacterial, and anti-inflammation. Finally, we provide personal perspectives on remaining challenges and future opportunities for the biomedical applications of metallenes.

Abstract
In response to diffused ionizing radiation damage throughout the body caused by nuclear leaks and inaccurate radiotherapy, radioprotectants with considerable free radical scavenging capacities, along with negligible adverse effects, are highly regarded. Herein, unlike being performed as toxic chemotherapeutic drug candidates, molybdenum-based polyoxometalate nanoclusters (Mo-POM NCs) were developed as a non-toxic potent radioprotectant with impressive free radical scavenging capacities for ionizing radiation protection. In comparison to the clinically used radioprotectant drug amifostine (AM), the as-prepared Mo-POM NCs exhibited effective shielding capacity by virtue of their antioxidant properties resulting from a valence shift of molybdenum ions, alleviating not only ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage but also disruption of the radiation-sensitive hematopoietic system. More encouragingly, without trouble with long-term retention in the body, ultra-small sized Mo-POM NCs prepared by the mimetic Folin-Ciocalteu assay can be removed from the body through the renal-urinary pathway and the hepato-enteral excretory system after completing the mission of radiation protection. This work broadened the biological applications of metal-based POM chemotherapeutic drugs to act as a neozoic radioprotectant.

Abstract
Microwave ablation (MWA) is a novel treatment modality that can lead to the death of tumor cells by heating the ions and polar molecules in the tissue through high-speed vibration and friction. However, the single hyperthermia is not sufficient to completely inhibit tumor growth. Herein, a thermodynamic cancer-therapeutic modality has been fabricated which could be able to overcome hypoxia's limitations in the tumor microenvironment. Using thermo-sensitive liposomes (TSLs) and oxygen-independent radical generators (2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride [AIPH]), a nano-drug delivery system denoted as ATSL is developed for efficient sequential cancer treatment. Under the microwave field, the temperature rise of local tissue could not only lead to the damage of tumor cells but also induce the release of AIPH encapsulated in ATSL to produce free radicals, eliciting tumor cell death. In addition, the ATSL developed here would avoid the side effects caused by the uncontrolled diffusion of AIPH to normal tissues. The ATSLs have shown excellent therapeutic effects both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its highly promising potential for clinic.

Abstract
As one of the leading cases of acute liver failure triggered by excessive Acetaminophen (APAP), breakdown of the antioxidant system, inflammatory response, and inescapable apoptosis following overaccumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in the mechanisms of APAP-induced liver injury (AILI). Therefore, cutting off ROS overproduction at the source is considered promising. Here, manganese Prussian blue nanozymes (MPBZs) with superior antioxidant enzyme-like activity are prepared as an effective strategy for hepatocyte protection, in which MPBZs accumulated in the liver show anti-oxidation properties by scavenging superfluous ROS. Importantly, in addition to alleviating oxidative stress, bioactive MPBZs with abundant variable valence states as a natural antioxidant enzymes mediated the responses of multi-biological signaling pathways in vitro and in vivo, including Nrf2-Keap1, NF-κB, and mitochondrial-induced apoptosis signaling pathways, enhancing tolerance for imminent AILI. Taking nanomedicine, hepatology, and catalytic chemistry into consideration, the revealed superior performance of AILI prevention suggests that MPBZ-based nano-detoxification therapy may offer an effective alternative against AILI.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), like other clinical translational tumor ablation techniques, requires a temperature increase above 50 °C to cause necrosis and death of tumor cells. Although the tumor can be eliminated rapidly by PTT, the inflammatory response is triggered by the large amounts of released reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, liquid exfoliation was used to create ultrasmall zirconium carbide nanodots (NDs) with an average diameter of approximately 4.5 nm as noninflammatory/anti-inflammatory photosensitizers for PTT of glioma. Ultrasmall ZrC NDs showed excellent photothermal stability and biocompatibility but no obvious toxicity. Moreover, the ultrasmall ZrC NDs effectively ablated glioma at relatively low concentrations and inhibited tumor migration and proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the excellent ROS-scavenging ability of ultrasmall ZrC NDs suppressed the inflammatory response to PTT. Intriguingly, we found that ZrC had the capability of performing CT imaging. We demonstrated that the ultrasmall ZrC NDs created in this study could effectively and safely treat glioma without inflammation.

Abstract
Glioma is characterized by highly invasive, progressive, and lethal features. In addition, conventional treatments have been poorly effective in treating glioma. To overcome this challenge, synergistic therapies combining radiotherapy (RT) with photothermal therapy (PTT) have been proposed and extensively explored as a highly feasible cancer treatment strategy. Herein, ultrasmall zirconium carbide (ZrC) nanodots were successfully synthesized with high near-infrared absorption and strong photon attenuation for synergistic PTT-RT of glioma. ZrC-PVP nanodots with an average size of approximately 4.36 nm were prepared by the liquid exfoliation method and modified with the surfactant polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), with a satisfactory absorption and photothermal conversion efficiency (53.4%) in the near-infrared region. Furthermore, ZrC-PVP nanodots can also act as radiosensitizers to kill residual tumor cells after mild PTT due to their excellent photon attenuating ability, thus achieving a significant synergistic therapeutic effect by combining RT and PTT. Most importantly, both in vitro and in vivo experimental results further validate the high biosafety of ZrC-PVP NDs at the injected dose. This work systematically evaluates the feasibility of ZrC-PVP NDs for glioma treatment and provides evidence of the application of zirconium-based nanomaterials in photothermal radiotherapy.

Abstract
The exciting success of NBTXR3 in the clinic has triggered a tumult of activities in the design and development of hafnium-based nanoparticles. However, due to the concerns of nondegradation and limited functions, the biomedical applications of Hf-based nanoparticles mainly focus on tumors. Herein, tannic acid capped hafnium disulfide (HfS2@TA) nanosheets, a 2D atomic crystal of hafnium-based materials prepared by liquid-phase exfoliation, were explored as high-performance anti-inflammatory nanoagents for the targeted therapy of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Benefiting from the transformation of the S2-/S6+ valence state and huge specific surface area, the obtained HfS2@TA nanosheets were not only capable of effectively eliminating reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species and downregulating pro-inflammatory factors but also could be excreted via kidney and hepatointestinal systems. Unexpectedly, HfS2@TA maintained excellent targeting capability to an inflamed colon even in the harsh digestive tract environment, mainly attributed to the electrostatic interactions between negatively charged tannic acid and positively charged inflamed epithelium. Encouragingly, upon oral or intravenous administration, HfS2@TA quickly inhibited inflammation and repaired the intestinal mucosa barrier in both dextran sodium sulfate and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid induced IBD models. This work demonstrated that ultrathin HfS2@TA atomic crystals with enhanced colon accumulation were promising for the targeted therapy of IBD.

Abstract
Bioactive materials have been extensively developed for the adjuvant therapy of cancer. However, few materials can meet the requirements for the postoperative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) due to massive bleeding and high recurrence. In particular, combination therapy for HCC has been highly recommended in clinical practice, including surgical resection, interventional therapy, ablation therapy and chemotherapy. Herein, an injectable magnetic colloidal gel (MCG) was developed by controllable electrostatic attraction between clinically available magnetic montmorillonites and amphoteric gelatin nanoparticles. The optimized MCG exhibited an effective magnetic heating effect, remarkable rheological properties, and high gel network stability, realizing the synergistic treatment of postoperative HCC by stimuli-responsive drug delivery, hemostasis and magnetic hyperthermia. Furthermore, a minimal invasive MCG-induced interventional magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) under ultrasound guidance was realized on hepatic tumor rabbits, providing an alternative therapeutics to treat the postoperative recurrence. Overall, MCG is a clinically available injectable formulation for adjuvant therapy after HCC surgical resection.

Abstract
Photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been attracting increasing attention for effective tumour treatment. Nevertheless, even though Mn-based nanostructures are promising CDT agents, their photothermal conversion capacities are not good enough for an ideal combination therapy. In this work, a bifunctional Bi2-xMnxO3 nanoplatform was developed, with tumour microenvironment (TME)-triggered photothermal therapy (PTT)-enhanced CDT, for a collaborative therapy for tumours. The doping of a small amount of Bi tuned the photothermal and CDT performance of Bi2-xMnxO3, thus promoting the photothermal conversion ability as well as accelerating the ˙OH generation. The existence of reductive Mn4+ could disrupt the internal tumour redox balance by enhancing glutathione (GSH) consumption to improve the CDT effect. Meanwhile, the mild photothermal effect could accelerate the depletion of GSH and the generation of ˙OH in the tumour region after laser irradiation, thus promoting the CDT effect. This manganese-based nanoplatform provides a good strategy for tumour therapy via TME-mediated PTT-enhanced CDT.

Abstract
Despite attracting increasing attention in clinic, non-invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) surgery still commonly suffers from tumor recurrence and even matastasis due to the generation of thermo-resistance in non-apoptotic tumor cells and adverse therapy-induced inflammation with enhanced secretion of growth factors in irradiated region. In this work, inspired by the intrinsic property that the expression of thermo-resistant heat shock proteins (HSPs) is highly dependent with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), dual-functionalized diclofenac (DC) with anti-inflammation and glycolysis-inhibition abilities was successfully co-encapsulated with phase-change dl-menthol (DLM) in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (DC/DLM@PLGA NPs) to realize improved HIFU surgery without causing adverse inflammation. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the great potential of DC/DLM@PLGA NPs for serving as an efficient synergistic agent for HIFU surgery, which can not only amplify HIFU ablation efficacy through DLM vaporization-induced energy deposition but also simultaneously sensitize tumor cells to hyperthermia by glycolysis inhibition as well as diminished inflammation. Thus, our study provides an efficient strategy for simultaneously improving the curative efficiency and diminishing the harmful inflammatory responses of clinical HIFU surgery.

Abstract
In this work, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic drug (sparfloxacin (SP)) was selected as a chemotherapy drug and photosensitizer for combined therapy. A facile chemical process was developed to incorporate SP and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into the thermally sensitive amphiphilic polymer polyethylene glycol-poly(2-hexoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane). In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that 60% of the SP molecules can be released from the micelles of thermal-sensitive polymers using a 1 W cm-2 980 nm laser, and this successfully inhibits cell migration and metastasis by inhibiting type II topoisomerases in nuclei. Additionally, intracellular metal ions were chelated by SP to induce cancer cell apoptosis by decreasing the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase. In particular, the fluoroquinolone molecules produced singlet oxygen (1O2) to kill cancer cells, and this was triggered by UCNPs when irradiation was performed with a 980 nm laser. Overall, SP retained a weak chemotherapeutic effect, achieved enhanced photosensitizer-like effects, and was able to repurpose old drugs to elevate the therapeutic efficacy against cancer, increase the specificity for suppressing tumor migration and proliferation, and enhance apoptosis.

Abstract
Although T cell centered immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies have shown unprecedented success in various cancer types, only a minority of patients benefit from these treatments due to the lack of neoantigen burden and exhaustion of tumor-infiltrating immune stimulating cells. Inspired by the crucial role of NK cell based immunity and potential immunostimulating effect of chemotherapeutic drugs, the therapeutic efficiency on tumor inhibition through combination of doxorubicin (DOX) and blockade of TIGIT (T-cell Ig and ITIM domain), a coinhibitory receptor expressed by both NK and T cells, in a matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2)-degradable hydrogel is thoroughly evaluated in this study. Due to the distinct release kinetics from destructed framework of hydrogels, the differentially released DOX and anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody (aTIGIT) molecules can elicit immunogenic tumor microenvironment and reverse the exhaustion of NK and effector T cells to realize not only durable localized tumor inhibition but also systemic and long-lasting immune memory responses. Thus, this work pioneers the union of chemotherapeutic drugs and NK cell centered ICB therapies for activating cascade-like antitumor immune responses through eliciting immunogenic tumor microenvironment and boosting both innate and adaptive immunity.

Abstract
Nanozymes have become a new generation of antibiotics with exciting broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and negligible biological toxicity. However, their inherent low catalytic activity limits their antibacterial properties. Herein, Cu single-atom sites/N doped porous carbon (Cu SASs/NPC) is successfully constructed for photothermal-catalytic antibacterial treatment by a pyrolysis-etching-adsorption-pyrolysis (PEAP) strategy. Cu SASs/NPC have stronger peroxidase-like catalytic activity, glutathione (GSH)-depleting function, and photothermal property compared with non-Cu-doped NPC, indicating that Cu doping significantly improves the catalytic performance of nanozymes. Cu SASs/NPC can effectively induce peroxidase-like activity in the presence of H2O2, thereby generating a large amount of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which have a certain killing effect on bacteria and make bacteria more susceptible to temperature. The introduction of near-infrared (NIR) light can generate hyperthermia to fight bacteria, and enhance the peroxidase-like catalytic activity, thereby generating additional •OH to destroy bacteria. Interestingly, Cu SASs/NPC can act as GSH peroxidase (GSH-Px)-like nanozymes, which can deplete GSH in bacteria, thereby significantly improving the sterilization effect. PTT-catalytic synergistic antibacterial strategy produces almost 100% antibacterial efficiency against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In vivo experiments show a better PTT-catalytic synergistic therapeutic performance on MRSA-infected mouse wounds. Overall, our work highlights the wide antibacterial and anti-infective bio-applications of Cu single-atom-containing catalysts.

Abstract
Indium, a low melting point metal, is well-known for constructing eutectic gallium-indium liquid metal. However, unlike liquid metal nanoparticles, the biomedical applications of metallic indium nanoparticles (In NPs) remain in their infancy. Herein, an ultrasound-assisted liquid-reduction synthesis strategy was developed to prepare PEGylated In NPs, which were then used as a high-performance contrast agent for enhancing multiwavelength photoacoustic imaging and second near-infrared (NIR-II) photothermal therapy of the 4T1 breast tumor. The obtained In NPs depicted remarkable optical absorption from the first near-infrared (NIR-I) to NIR-II region and a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 41.3% at 1064 nm, higher than the majority of conventional NIR-II photothermal agents. Upon injection into the tumor, the photoacoustic intensities of the tumor section post-injection were obviously increased by 2.59-, 2.62-, and 4.27-fold of those of pre-injection by using excitation wavelengths of 750, 808, and 970 nm, respectively, depicting an excellent multiwavelength contrast capability of photoacoustic imaging. In addition, efficient ablation of the 4T1 tumor was achieved through the photothermal performance of PEGylated In NPs under NIR-II laser irradiation. Importantly, as the widely used element in the clinic, In NPs were highly biocompatible in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, this work pioneered the biomedical applications of PEGylated In NPs for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Long-lasting moisture retention is a huge challenge to humectants, and effective methods or additives for promote these functions are limited, especially nano-additives. Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted increasing research interest due to its ultra-small size, excellent optical properties and low toxicity, etc. However, most of researches have been focused on the photoexcited CDs and its subsequent photophysical and chemical processes, such as photoluminescence, photodynamic, photothermal and photocatalytic behavior. The intrinsic chemo-physical properties of the pristine CDs are not fully explored. Here, we report an excellent moisture retention capability of a new carmine cochineal-derived CDs (Car-CDs) for the first time. The relationship between the structure of Car-CDs and its moisture retention capability is revealed. More interestingly, the effective applications of Car-CDs in moisturizing lipstick are demonstrated. This work expands the research and application of CDs into a broad, new area, potentially in skin care.

Abstract
Iodophor (povidone-iodine) has been widely used for antibacterial applications in the clinic. Yet, limited progress in the field of iodine-based bactericides has been achieved since the invention of iodophor. Herein, a blue polyvinyl alcohol-iodine (PAI) complex-based antibacterial hydrogel is explored as a new generation of biocompatible iodine-based bactericides. The obtained PAI hydrogel maintains laser triggered liquefaction, thermochromic, and photothermal features for highly efficient elimination of bacteria. In vitro antibacterial test reveals that the relative bacteria viabilities of Escherichia coli (E.coli) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) incubated with PAI hydrogel are only 8% and 3.8%, respectively. Upon single injection of the PAI hydrogel, MRSA-infected open wounds can be efficiently healed in only 5 days, and the healing speed is further accelerated by laser irradiation due to the dynamic interaction between iodine and polyvinyl alcohol, causing up to ∼29% of wound area being closed on day 1. In addition, a safe threshold temperature of skin scald (∼45 °C) emerges for PAI hydrogels because of thermochromic properties, avoiding thermal injuries during irradiation. In addition, no observed toxicity or skin irritation is observed for the PAI hydrogel. This work expands the category of iodine-based bactericides for safe and controllable management of infected wounds.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a newly recognized form of non-apoptotic cell death, has recently been introduced for effective cancer therapy. The reported ferroptosis-inducing nanomaterials mainly consisted of metal-based components. Herein, we designed an inorganic metal-free nanoplatform, PSMA-targeted arsenic nanosheets (PMANs), which simultaneously increased glutathione (GSH) consumption, suppressed solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione-dependent peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression, and promoted the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides (LPO). In addition, owing to the large surface area, PMANs efficiently transported doxorubicin (DOX) to prostate cancer for synergistic therapy. Surprisingly, we found that PMANs could sensitize prostate cancer cells to DOX through downregulating the expression of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), which further augmented the GPX4 downregulation-mediated ferroptotic tumoricidal effect. Given that arsenic trioxide has been routinely and successfully used in the clinical treatment of leukemia for a long time, we anticipate that PMANs will offer a promising strategy for prostate cancer therapy.

Abstract
Manipulation of CRISPR delivery for stimuli-responsive gene editing is crucial for cancer therapeutics through maximizing efficacy and minimizing side-effects. However, realizing controlled gene editing for synergistic combination therapy remains a key challenge. Here, a near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered thermo-responsive copper sulfide (CuS) multifunctional nanotherapeutic platform is constructed to achieve controlled release of CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (RNP) and doxorubicin for tumor synergistic combination therapy involving in gene therapy, mild-photothermal therapy (PTT), and chemotherapy. The semiconductor CuS serves as a "photothermal converter" and can stably convert NIR light (808 nm) into local thermal effect to provide photothermal stimulation. The double-strand formed between CuS nanoparticle-linked DNA fragments and single-guide RNA is employed as a controlled element in response to photothermal stimulation for controlled gene editing and drug release. Hsp90α, one subunit of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), is targeted by Cas9 RNP to reduce tumor heat tolerance for enhanced mild-PTT effects (≈43 °C). Significant synergistic therapy efficacy can be observed by twice NIR light irradiation both in vitro and in vivo, compared to PTT alone. Overall, this exogenously controlled method provides a versatile strategy for controlled gene editing and drug release with potentially synergistic combination therapy.

Abstract
Fenton-like reactions driven by manganese-based nanostructures have been widely applied in cancer treatment owing to the intrinsic physiochemical properties of these nanostructures and their improved sensitivity to the tumor microenvironment. In this work, ZnxMn1-xS@polydopamine composites incorporating alloyed ZnxMn1-xS and polydopamine (PDA) were constructed, in which the Fenton-like reactions driven by Mn ions can be tuned by a controllable release of Mn ions in vitro and in vivo. As a result, the ZnxMn1-xS@PDA exhibited good biocompatibility with normal cells but was specifically toxic to cancer cells. In addition, the shell thickness of PDA was carefully investigated to obtain excellent specific toxicity to cancer cells and promote synergistic chemodynamic and photothermal therapies. Overall, this work highlights an alternative strategy for fabricating high-performance, multifunctional composite nanostructures for a combined cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this study, we have described a facile process for fabrication of multifunctional composite hydrogel, in which sodium alginate was subjected to cross-linking using Ca2+ derived from ZnO/CaCO₃/Ag composite nanospheres. The ZnO/CaCO₃/Ag composite nanospheres were prepared based on our previously reported AA-[Zn(OH)₄]2- composite nanosphere reaction conducted with silver and calcium salt following hydrothermal method, that led to the disintegration and release of Ca2+ under acidic conditions for application as a cross-linking agentto catalyze reaction with sodium alginate. Ag nanoparticles were well-dispersed in the multifunctional composite hydrogel, exhibiting excellent antibacterial activity. Additionally, polydopamine (PDA) with photothermal effect was also added to obtain a multifunctional composite hydrogel, and this hydrogel showed photothermal conversion performance and facilitated the release of Ag+ to achieve the rapid antibacterial effect. Simultaneously, PDA NPs could scavenge free radicals and improve cell adhesion. All such features would promote wound healing. The potent antimicrobial activity of the prepared composite hydrogel was demonstrated in the mouse model of S. aureus infection, and biosafety of the hydrogel was confirmed by conducting histopathological examination in the mouse model. This type of multifunctional hydrogel wound dressing with photosensitive and antibacterial properties presents with broad applications and prospects in antibacterial treatment.

Abstract
Etoposide (VP16) is the traditional antitumor agent which has been widely used in a variety of cancers. However, intravenous administration of VP16 was limited in clinical application because of its low aqueous solubility, poor bioavailability and dose-limiting adverse effects. Local chemotherapy with VP16-loaded drug delivery systems could provide a continuous release of drug at the target site, while minimizing the systemic toxicity. In this study, we prepared the poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) based VP16-loaded implants (VP16 implants) by the direct compression method. The VP16 implants were characterized with regards to drug content, micromorphology, drug release profiles, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. Furthermore, the biodistribution of VP16 via intratumoral chemotherapy with VP16 implants was investigated using the murine Lewis lung carcinoma model. Our results showed that VP16 dispersed homogenously in the polymeric matrix. Both in vitro and in vivo drug release profiles of the implants were characterized by high initial burst release followed by sustained release of VP16. The VP16 implants showed good compatibility between VP16 and the excipients. Intratumoral chemotherapy with VP16 implants resulted in significantly higher concentration and longer duration of VP16 in tumor tissues compared with single intraperitoneal injection of VP16 solution. Moreover, we found the low level of VP16 in plasma and normal organ tissues. These results suggested that intratumoral chemotherapy with VP16 implants enabled high drug concentration at the target site and has the potential to be used as a novel method to treat cancer.

Abstract
Multifunctional contrast-enhanced agents suitable for application in surgical navigation by taking advantage of the merits of their diverse imaging modalities at different surgical stages are highly sought-after. Herein, an amphipathic polymer composed of aggregation-induced emission fluorogens (AIEgens) and Gd3+ chelates was successfully synthesized and assembled into ultrasound responsive microbubbles (AIE-Gd MBs) to realize potential tri-modal contrast-enhanced ultrasound (US) imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and AIEgen-based fluorescence imaging (FI) during the perioperative period. Through ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) and cavitation effect, the as-prepared AIE-Gd MBs went through a MBs-to-nanoparticles (NPs) conversion, which not only resulted in targeted accumulation in tumor tissues but also led to stronger fluorescence being exhibited due to the more aggregated AIE-Gd molecules in the NPs. As a proof-of-concept, our work proposes a strategy of US-lit-up AIEgens in tumors which could offer a simple and powerful tool for surgical navigation in the future.

Abstract
Developing tumor-specific drug delivery systems with minimized off-target cargo leakage remains an enduring challenge. In this study, inspired from the natural cryptobiosis explored by certain organisms and stimuli-responsive polyphenol‒metal coordination chemistry, doxorubicin (DOX)-conjugated gelatin nanoparticles with protective shells formed by complex of tannic acid and FeIII (DG@TA-FeIII NPs) were successfully developed as an “AND” logic gate platform for tumor-targeted DOX delivery. Moreover, benefiting from the well-reported photothermal conversion ability of TA-FeIII complex, a synergistic tumor inhibition effect was confirmed by treating 4T1 tumor-bearing mice with DG@TA-FeIII NPs and localized near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. As a proof of concept study, this work present a simple strategy for developing “AND” logic gate platforms by coating enzyme-degradable drug conjugates with detachable polyphenol‒metal shells.

Abstract
We report that atomically thin two-dimensional silicon quantum sheets (2D Si QSs), prepared by a scalable approach coupling chemical delithiation and cryo-assisted exfoliation, can serve as a high-performance brain photonic nanoagent for orthotopic glioma theranostics. With the lateral size of approximately 14.0 nm and thickness of about 1.6 nm, tiny Si QSs possess high mass extinction coefficient of 27.5 L g-1 cm-1 and photothermal conversion efficiency of 47.2% at 808 nm, respectively, concurrently contributing to the best photothermal performance among the reported 2D mono-elemental materials (Xenes). More importantly, Si QSs with low toxicity maintain the trade-off between stability and degradability, paving the way for practical clinical translation in consideration of both storage and action of nanoagents. In vitro Transwell filter experiment reveals that Si QSs could effectively go across the bEnd.3 cells monolayer. Upon the intravenous injection of Si QSs, orthotopic brain tumors are effectively inhibited under the precise guidance of photoacoustic imaging, and the survival lifetime of brain tumor-bearing mice is increased by two fold. Atomically thin Si QSs with strong light-harvesting capability are expected to provide an effective and robust 2D photonic nanoplatform for the management of brain diseases.

Abstract
Specific cytotoxicity for catalytic nanomedicine triggered by the tumor microenvironment (TME) has attracted increasing interest. In this work, we prepared AgBiS2 hollow nanospheres with narrow bandgaps via rapid precipitation in a weakly polar solvent, which lowered the intrinsic energy gap for the active production of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (•OH), especially in the TME. The as-prepared AgBiS2 hollow nanospheres exhibited enhanced optical absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiency (44.2%). In addition, the hollow structured AgBiS2 nanospheres were found to have a peroxidase-mimicking feature to induce cancer cell-specific cytotoxicity while exhibiting negligible cytotoxicity toward normal cells, which might be attributed to the efficient production of highly reactive •OH originating from the overexpression H2O2 in the TME caused by surface catalysis. In particular, the cancer cell-specific cytotoxicity of the nanospheres was greatly enhanced both in vitro and in vivo upon irradiation with a near-infrared (NIR) laser (808 nm). The above-mentioned features of the hollow structured AgBiS2 will make it a promising candidate for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Bacterial infections caused by pathogens have always been a thorny issue that threatens human health, and there is urgent need to develop a new generation of antimicrobial nano-agents and treatments. Herein, biodegradable nickel disulfide (ND) nanozymes as excellent antibacterial agents that integrate excellent photothermal performance, nano-catalysis property, and glutathione (GSH)-depleting function have been successfully constructed. The ND nanozymes can effectively catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to produce ⋅OH, and the hyperthermia of ND nanozymes generated by photothermal therapy (PTT) can further increase its catalytic activity, which provides rapid and effective bacterial killing effect compared with nano-catalytic treatment or PTT alone. Surprisingly, the ND nanozymes have the ability of GSH consumption, thus enhancing its sterilization effect. Moreover, the ND nanozymes are biodegradable nanomaterials that do not cause any significant toxicity in vivo. Collectively, the ND nanozymes with excellent photothermal performance, catalytic activity, and GSH-depleting function are used for high-efficiency sterilization. ND nanozymes have good photothermal and catalysis effect and GSH-depleting function The multifunctional ND nanozymes have achieved satisfactory antibacterial effects The biodegradable ND nanozymes have a wide application in precise sterilization

Abstract
Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC), in which chronic inflammation is a well-recognized carcinogen, requires concurrent anti-inflammation and antitumor treatments in the clinic. Herein, we report polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated (PEGylated) ultrasmall rhodium nanodots (Rh-PEG NDs) can serve as a metallic nanozyme with reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging properties as well as photothermal activities for anti-inflammation and antitumor theranostics in colon diseases. Benefiting from multienzyme activities against RONS, Rh-PEG NDs can decrease the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6), resulting in good anti-inflammatory effect on dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. By virtue of high photothermal conversion efficiency (48.9%), Rh-PEG NDs demonstrate complete ablation of CT-26 colon tumor without any recurrence. Most importantly, Rh-PEG NDs exhibit good biocompatibility both at the cellular and animal levels. Our findings provide a paradigm to utilize metallic nanozymes for the potential management of colon diseases.

Abstract
Similar to translated thermal ablative techniques in clinic, the occurrence of cellular necrosis during tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) would induce inflammatory responses that are detrimental to therapeutic outcomes. Inspired by the well-known colorimetric Folin-Ciocalteu assay, monodispersed and renal-clearable tungsten (W)-based polyoxometalate nanoclusters (W-POM NCs, average diameter of around 2.0 nm) were successfully obtained here through a facile redox reaction with natural gallic acid in alkaline aqueous solution. Apart from excellent stability in the form of freeze-dried powder, the as-prepared W-POM NCs occupied considerable biocompatibility toward normal cells/tissues both in vitro and in vivo, since no obvious toxicities were observed by treating female Balb/c mice with concentrated W-POM NCs during the 30 day post-treatment period. More importantly, W-POM NCs exhibited not only considerable near-infrared (NIR) light absorption (coloration effect originated from the existence of electron-trapped W5+) for efficient PTT but also impressive anti-inflammatory ability (eliminating inflammation-related reactive oxygen species by the oxidation of W5+ into W6+ state) to achieve better therapeutic outcomes. Thus, our study pioneers the application of POMs for non-inflammatory PTT with expected safety and efficiency.

Abstract
Hollow nanostructures have been evoked considerable attention owing to their intriguing hollow interior for important and potential applications in drug delivery, lithium battery, catalysis and etc. Herein, Bi2S3 hollow microspheres with rod-based urchin-like nanostructures (denoted as U-BSHM) were synthesized through a facile and rapid ion exchanging method using a particular hard template. The growth mechanism of the U-BSHM has been investigated and illustrated by the morphological evolution of the different samples at early stages. The obtained U-BSHM exhibited strong and wide UV-vis-NIR absorption ability and outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency. Thus, the U-BSHM can be used as spatio-temporal precisely controlled carrier by loading the mixture of 1-tetradecanol (phase change material, PCM) with melting point around 38 °C and hydrophilic chemotherapeutic doxorubicin hydrochloride (denoted as DOX) into the hollow interior to form (PCM + DOX)@Bi2S3 nanocomposites (denoted as PD@BS) for photoacoustic (PA) imaging and chemo-photothermal therapy of the tumors. When exposed to 808 nm near infrared light (NIR) laser irradiation, this nanocomposites could elevate the temperature of the surroundings by absorption and conversion of the NIR photons into heat energy, which inducing the triggered release of DOX from the hollow interior once the temperature reach up to the melting point of PCM. The killing efficiency of the chemo-photothermal therapy was systematically validated both in vitro and in vivo. In the meanwhile, the implanted tumor was completely restrained through PA imaging and combined therapies. Therefore, this kind of urchin-like hollow nanostructures would be used as important candidates for the multimodal bioimaging and therapy of tumors.

Abstract
The abuse of antibiotics resulted in the emergence of antibiotics-resistant bacteria, which has raised a great social concern together with the impetus to develop effective antibacterial materials. Herein, the synthesis of biocompatible enzyme-responsive Ag nanoparticle assemblies (ANAs) and their application in the high-efficiency targeted antimicrobial treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been demonstrated. The ANAs could collapse and undergo stable/collapsed transition on approaching MRSA because of the serine protease-like B enzyme proteins (SplB)-triggered decomposition of the branched copolymers which have been employed as the macrotemplate in the synthesis of responsive ANAs. This transition contributed greatly to the high targeting affinity and efficiency of ANAs to MRSA. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration against MRSA were 2.0 and 32.0 μg mL-1, respectively. Skin wound healing experiments confirmed that the responsive ANAs could serve as an effective wound dressing to accelerate the healing of MRSA infection.

Abstract
Elemental tantalum is a well-known biomedical metal in clinics due to its extremely high biocompatibility, which is superior to that of other biomedical metallic materials. Hence, it is of significance to expand the scope of biomedical applications of tantalum. Herein, it is reported that tantalum nanoparticles (Ta NPs), upon surface modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules via a silane-coupling approach, are employed as a metallic photoacoustic (PA) contrast agent for multiwavelength imaging of tumors. By virtue of the broad optical absorbance from the visible to near-infrared region and high photothermal conversion efficiency (27.9%), PEGylated Ta NPs depict high multiwavelength contrast capability for enhancing PA imaging to satisfy the various demands (penetration depth, background noise, etc.) of clinical diagnosis as needed. Particularly, the PA intensity of the tumor region postinjection is greatly increased by 4.87, 7.47, and 6.87-fold than that of preinjection under 680, 808, and 970 nm laser irradiation, respectively. In addition, Ta NPs with negligible cytotoxicity are capable of eliminating undesirable reactive oxygen species, ensuring the safety for biomedical applications. This work introduces a silane-coupling strategy for the surface engineering of Ta NPs, and highlights the potential of Ta NPs as a biocompatible metallic contrast agent for multiwavelength photoacoustic image.

Abstract
An in situ forming hydrogel has emerged as a promising wound dressing recently. As physically cross-linked hydrogels are normally unstable, most in situ forming hydrogels are chemically cross-linked. However, big concerns have remained regarding the slow gelation and the potential toxicity of residual functional groups from cross-linkers or the polymer matrix. Herein, we report a sprayable in situ forming hydrogel composed of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide166-co-n-butyl acrylate9)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide166-co-n-butyl acrylate9) copolymer (P(NIPAM166-co-nBA9)-PEG-P(NIPAM166-co-nBA9), denoted as PEP) and silver-nanoparticles-decorated reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (Ag@rGO, denoted as AG) in response to skin temperature. This thermoresponsive hydrogel exhibits intriguing sol-gel irreversibility at low temperatures for the stable dressing of a wound, which is attributed to the inorganic/polymeric dual network and abundant coordination interactions between Ag@rGO nanosheets and PNIPAM. The biocompatibility and antibacterial ability against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) of this PEP-AG hydrogel wound dressing are confirmed in vitro and in vivo, which could transparently promote the healing of a MRSA-infected skin defect.

Abstract
The ever-growing global crisis of multidrug-resistant bacteria has triggered a tumult of activity in the design and development of antibacterial formulations. Here, atomically thin antimony selenide nanosheets (Sb2Se3 NSs), a minimal-toxic and low-cost semiconductor material, were explored as a high-performance two-dimensional (2D) antibacterial nanoagent via a liquid exfoliation strategy integrating cryo-pretreatment and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)-assisted exfoliation. When cultured with bacteria, the obtained PVP-capped Sb2Se3 NSs exhibited intrinsic long-term antibacterial capability, probably due to the reactive oxygen species generation and sharp edge-induced membrane cutting during physical contact between bacteria and nanosheets. Upon near-infrared laser irradiation, Sb2Se3 NSs achieved short-time hyperthermia sterilization because of strong optical absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiency. By virtue of the synergistic effects of these two broad-spectrum antibacterial mechanisms, Sb2Se3 NSs exhibited high-efficiency inhibition of conventional Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and wild bacteria from a natural water pool. Particularly, these three categories of bacteria were completely eradicated after being treated with Sb2Se3 NSs (300 μM) plus laser irradiation for only 5 min. In vivo wound healing experiment further demonstrated the high-performance antibacterial effect. In addition, Sb2Se3 NSs depicted excellent biocompatibility due to the biocompatible element constitute and bioinert PVP modification. This work enlightened that atomically thin Sb2Se3 NSs hold great promise as a broad-spectrum 2D antibacterial nanoagent for various pathogenic bacterial infections.
