Nanoprobes with multiple imaging modality have attracted a great deal of attention due to the capability of offering complementary information from each individual component. This work presents a hybrid approach to synthesize manganese doped near infrared (NIR) emitting quantum dots. The Mn-doping process was accomplished in aqueous phase followed by a phase transfer to organic phase for ZnS coating. This bimodal nanoprobe displayed high NIR luminescence quantum yield (~14%) and capability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (1.44 mM s). The RGD-targeted nanoprobes have been exploited for in vitro cell labelling, in vivo tumor targeting and lymph node mapping. In addition, no adverse toxic effects were observed, demonstrating the high biocompatibility of this nanoprobe.

Rare-earth-doped all-inorganic perovskite applications for near-infrared (NIR) emission are crucial for the construction of the next generation of intelligent lighting sources. However, the preparation of rare-earth-doped all-inorganic perovskite is complex, and difficult to control, and the issue of thermal quenching poses significant challenges to its practical application. Here, in order to address these issues, a convenient photo-induced synthesis method for CsPbCl:Mn/Yb nanocrystals (NCs) is proposed by decomposing carbon tetrachloride with 365 nm light to provide chloride ions and regulate the formation of perovskite at room temperature.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is widely used for cancer treatment due to its non-invasive and precise effectiveness, however, hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment greatly limits the efficacy of photodynamic therapy. Compared with conventional photosensitizers, carbon dots (CDs) have great potential. Therefore, developing a water-soluble, low-toxicity photosensitizer based on CDs is particularly important, especially one that can enhance the photodynamic efficacy using the tumor microenvironment to produce oxygen.

Semimetallic nanomaterials as photothermal agents for bioimaging and cancer therapy have attracted tremendous interest. However, the poor photothermal stability, low biocompatibility, and single component limit their therapeutic efficiency in cancer treatment. Here, manganese-doped VSe semimetallic nanosheets were prepared and subsequently modified with chitosan (named VSe/Mn-CS NSs) for combined enzyme catalytic and photothermal therapy.

Pro-tumoral and immunosuppressive M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) contribute to tumor progression, recurrence and distal metastasis. However, current TAMs-modulating therapeutic strategies often encounter challenges including insufficient immune activation, weak antigen presentation ability and unsatisfactory antitumor immune performance. Herein, cyclic RGD peptide functionalized and manganese doped eumelanin-like nanocomposites (RMnMels) are reported for combined hyperthermia-immunotherapy against PC3 prostate cancer.

Near-Infrared persistent luminescence (NIR-PL) nanomaterials that can continually emit low-energy photons after ceasing excitation has emerged as a new generation of theranostic nanoparticle drug delivery systems (NDDSs) for imaging-guided cancer therapy, which stems from their special ability to completely avoid tissue autofluorescence interference. However, unresponsive diagnostic capability, inefficient drug delivery, and poor biodegradability limit the efficacy of most reported NIR-PL-based NDDSs. Herein, a multifaceted tumor microenvironment (TME)-degradable theranostic drug delivery nanocapsule based on an ultrasmall persistent phosphor with a hollow mesoporous manganese-doped, DOX-loaded silica shell (Mn-ZGOCS-PEG) is developed to overcome the above drawbacks.
