The oxygen-deprived environment of a solid tumor is still great restriction in achieving an efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we developed a smart pH-controllable and HO-responsive nanoplatform with degradable property, which was based on honeycomb manganese oxide (hMnO) nanospheres loaded with Ce6-sensitized core-shell-shell structured up-conversion nanoparticles (NaGdF:Yb/Er,Tm@NaGdF:Yb@NaNdF:Yb) (abbreviated as hMUC). In the system, the speedy breakup of the as-prepared hMnO nanostructures results in release of loaded Ce6-sensitized UCNPs under the condition of HO in acid solution. When exposed to tissue-penetrable 808 nm laser, up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) emit higher-energy visible photons which would be absorbed by Ce6 to yield cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus triggering PDT treatment naturally. Moreover, the in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that hMUC sample with the honeycomb-satellite structure can serve as multimodal bioimaging contrast agent for self-enhanced upconversion luminescence (UCL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) imaging, indicating that the as-prepared hMUC could be used in imaging-guided diagnosis and treatment, which has a potential application in the PDT treatment of tumor.

A pivotal pathway of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is to prompt mitochondrial damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thus leading to cancer cell apoptosis. However, mitochondrial autophagy is induced during such a PDT process, which is a protective mechanism for cancer cell homeostasis, resulting in undermined therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report a series of meticulously designed donor (D)-π-acceptor (A) photosensitizers (PSs), characterized by the strategic modulation of thiophene π-bridges, which exhibit unparalleled mitochondrial targeting proficiency.

TEMPO-CNF film modified by two-dimension transition metal MXene has certain antibacterial properties. However, the problem of long-lasting stability greatly restricts the feasibility of long-term use of the composite film. Here, we introduced polyaniline (PANI) as a modifying molecule, which was electrostatically adsorbed on the surface of the MXene nanosheets to prevent its self-stacking and delay its oxidation.

Lymphoma is a malignant cancer characterized by a rapidly increasing incidence, complex etiology, and lack of obvious early symptoms. Efficient theranostics of lymphoma is of great significance in improving patient outcomes, empowering informed decision-making, and driving medical innovation. Herein, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform for precise optical imaging and therapy of lymphoma based on a new photosensitizer (1-oxo-1-benzoo[de]anthracene-2,3-dicarbonitrile-triphenylamine (OBADC-TPA)).

The application of light-responsive nanomaterials (LRNs) in bone tissue engineering shows broad prospects, especially in promoting bone healing and regeneration. With a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of bone defects and healing disorders, LRNs are receiving increasing attention due to their non-invasive, controllable, and efficient properties. These materials can regulate cellular biological reactions and promote bone cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation by absorbing specific wavelengths of light and converting them into physical and chemical signals.

Though immunogenic cell death (ICD) has garnered significant attention in the realm of anticancer therapies, effectively stimulating strong immune responses with adequate antigen presentation in deep-seated cancers remains challenging. Herein, to promote antigen presentation, an efficient dual-targeted photodynamic ICD inducer is developed. Due to the enhanced spin-orbit coupling and electron structure modulation, the Cy5-I-CF probe showcases exceptional reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity within cancer cells.
