Article Abstract
Multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms integrated of imaging function, multi-modality therapy, stimuli-responsiveness, and targeted delivery are of highly desirable attributes in achieving precise medicine. However, preparation of multifunctional nanoplatforms often involves laborious, multiple steps and inevitably utilizes low-biocompatible or non-functional components. Herein we report a facile, one-step self-assembly strategy to fabricate hyaluronic acid (HA)-based multifunctional tumor theranostic nanoplatform by employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent Mn as a reversible crosslink agent for histidine-grafted HA, along with simultaneously loading chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and photodynamic therapy agent chlorin e6, to realize MRI-guided targeted chemo-photodynamic cancer therapy. The targeted delivery and stimuli-responsive payload release were demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the combined chemo-photodynamic therapy of the nanoassembly dramatically improved the cancer therapeutic outcome, in comparison with that of free DOX and nanoplatform solely loaded DOX in a melanoma bearing mice. Our one step assemble strategy is of great potential in clinic transformation.

Breast cancer ranks as the second most widespread form of cancer globally. Currently, combination therapy is being actively employed in clinical practice to augment the efficiency of anticancer treatment. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of a combination of femtosecond laser-based PDT utilizing two distinct photosensitizers (PSs), zinc phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (ZnPcS4) and meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl) porphine (TMPyP) in conjunction with doxorubicin chemotherapeutic agent, on mammary carcinomas experimentally induced in female mice using 7,12-dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA).

Article Synopsis
- Peroxynitrite (ONOO) is important for cellular functions and its increased levels are linked to oxidative stress in cancer progression.
- Researchers developed a new biomimetic nanoplatform called Z-C-T@CM that uses a combination of specialized materials to enable near-infrared fluorescent imaging for cancer treatment.
- This nanoplatform not only allows for noninvasive detection of ONOO levels in tumors but also enhances treatment effectiveness by stimulating immune responses and releasing therapeutic agents within the tumor environment.

Designing potential agents and constructing hydrophilic nano-hydrogel platforms for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, especially for polyoxometalate-based metal-organic frameworks (PMOF), present both great desirability and significant challenges. A unique open porous Cu(I)-isopolymolybdate-based metal-organic framework (CCUT) has been self-assembled through ionothermal processes for in vivo synergistic anti-cancer therapy. The periodicity of Drugs@CCUT-1 (nano-crystals of CCUT after cation exchange and anti-cancer drugs upload) has been investigated by synchrotron wide-angle X-ray scattering, confirming the lattice structure unchanged.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new type of nanoprodrug called BNN6@GBTC NPs, made from an amphiphilic prodrug (GBTC) and a nitric oxide donor (BNN6), which self-assemble into stable nanoparticles.
- These nanoparticles can target HepG2 cancer cells specifically, thanks to galactose receptors on the cell surface, and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to light.
- The combination of photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy through the release of camptothecin, and gas therapy using nitric oxide leads to a more effective cancer treatment while minimizing damage to healthy cells.
