Carrier-free nanoparticles with high drug loading have attracted increasing attention; however, in situ on-demand drug release remains a challenge. Here, a novel near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced blasting carrier-free nanodrug delivery system is designed and fabricated by coating doxorubicin (DOX) nanoparticles (DNPs) with a polydopamine film (PDA) that would prolong the blood circulation time of DNPs and avoid the preleakage of the DOX during blood circulation. Meanwhile, the NHHCO is introduced to trigger in situ "bomb-like" release of DOX for the production of carbon dioxide (CO) and ammonia (NH) gases driven by NIR irradiated photothermal effect of PDA. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that the carrier-free nanovectors with high drug loading efficiency (85.8%) prolong tumor accumulation, enhance chemotherapy, achieve the synergistic treatment of chemotherapy and photothermal treatment, and do not induce any foreign-body reaction over a three-week implantation. Hence, the delicate design opens a self-assembly path to develop PDA-based NIR-responsive multifunctional carrier-free nanoparticles for tumor therapy.

Fano resonances in photonics arise from the coupling and interference between two resonant modes in structures with broken symmetry. They feature an uneven and narrow and tunable lineshape and are ideally suited for optical spectroscopy. Many Fano resonance structures have been suggested in nanophotonics over the last ten years, but reconfigurability and tailored design remain challenging.

A [2]catenane-based receptor functionalized with stiff-stilbene can be reversibly switched with 340/385 nm light between its - and -isomers, which leads to a considerable change in chloride binding affinity. Photoisomerization in the presence of chloride allows for on demand guest uptake and release.

The charge state of a quantum point defect in a solid-state host strongly determines its optical and spin characteristics. Consequently, techniques for controlling the charge state are required to realize technologies for quantum networking and sensing. In this work, we demonstrate the use of deep-ultraviolet (DUV) radiation to dynamically neutralize nitrogen- (NV) and silicon-vacancy (SiV) centers.

In-situ tumor vaccination remains challenging due to difficulties in the exposure and presentation of tumor-associated neoantigens (TANs). In view of the central role of lipid metabolism in cell fate determination and tumor-immune cell communication, here we report a photo-controlled lipid metabolism nanoregulator (PLMN) to achieve robust in-situ adjuvant-free vaccination, which is constructed through hierarchically integrating photothermal-inducible arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15)-expressing plasmids, cypate and FIN56 into cationic liposomes. Near-infrared light (NIR) stimulation triggers on-demand ALOX15 editing and causes excessive accumulation of downstream pro-ferroptosis lipid metabolites.

Although cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) activation combined with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) axis blockade have emerged as an effective strategy to improve immunotherapeutic potency, it remains challenging to realize the spatiotemporal synergy of these two components. Herein, the study reports an engineered bacterial-based delivery system that can simultaneously promote CTLs infiltration and control PD-L1 binding protein (PD-L1 trap) release on demand at tumor site. The drug release button of this tumor targeting system is the specific temperature, which is accomplished by dual-modified melanin nanoparticles with photothermal conversion capacity on the engineered bacterial.
