Conventional chemotherapy regimens have limitations due to serious adverse effects. Targeted drug delivery systems to reduce systemic toxicity are a powerful drug development platform. Encapsulation of antitumor drug(s) in thermosensitive nanocarriers is an emerging approach with a promise to improve uptake and increase therapeutic efficacy, as they can be activated by hyperthermia selectively at the tumor site. In this review, we focus on thermosensitive nanosystems associated with hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer, in preclinical and clinical use.

Delivery nanosystems have been widely developed to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy. However, their performance regarding the non-specific leakage of drugs remained unsatisfactory. Herein, gold nanocages (AuNCs) were used as carriers and thermo-sensitive liposome (TSL) as a protective shell to design a camptothecin (CPT)-loaded delivery nanosystem (AuNCs/CPT@TSL) for photothermal-modulated drug release.

Nanomaterials with responsiveness to near-infrared light can mediate the photoablation of cancer cells with an exceptional spatio-temporal resolution. However, the therapeutic outcome of this modality is limited by the nanostructures' poor tumor uptake. To address this bottleneck, it is appealing to develop injectable in situ forming hydrogels due to their capacity to perform a tumor-confined delivery of the nanomaterials with minimal off-target leakage.

Tumor cells can survive when detached from the extracellular matrix (ECM) or lose cell-cell connections, a phenomenon known as anoikis-resistance (AR). AR is closely associated with tumor cell metastasis and recurrence, enabling tumor cells to disseminate, migrate, and invade after detachment. To address this issue, a novel intervention method combining intraoperative hemostasis with multifunctional nanozyme driven-enhanced chemodynamic therapy (ECDT) has been proposed, which holds the potential to weaken the AR capability of tumor cells and suppress tumor recurrence.

Background: Chemotherapy resistance of osteosarcoma (OS) is still the crux of poor clinical curative effect.E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Rad18 (Rad18) contributed to doxorubicin resistance in OS, which ultimately mediated DNA damage tolerance and led to a poor prognosis and chemotherapy response in patients.
Methods: In this study, doxorubicin was loaded in the process of Fe and siRad18 forming nanoparticles(FSD) through coordination, chitosan modified with cell penetrating peptide (H6R6) was synthesized and coated on the surface of the NPs(FSD-CHR).

Hydrogels can offer many opportunities for drug delivery strategies. They can be used on their own, or their benefits can be further exploited in combination with other nanocarriers. Intelligent hydrogels that react to changes in the surrounding environment can be utilized as gatekeepers and provide sustained on-demand drug release.
