The data provided in this study are related to the fabrication of two light-responsive systems based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) functionalized with the polymers Pluronic P123 (P123), rGO-P123, and polyethyleneimine (PEI), rGO-PEI, and loaded with amphotericin B (AmB), an antileishmanial drug. Here are described the experimental design to obtain the systems and characterization methods, such as Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, Powder X-Ray Diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Thermogravimetric Analyses. Also, AmB spectroscopy studies are described. The materials rGO-P123 and rGO-PEI were loaded with AmB and the optimization of AmB and polymer fragments structures revealed several possible hydrogen bonds formed between the materials and the drug. The drug release was analyzed with and without Near-Infrared (NIR) light. In the studies conducted under NIR light irradiation for 10 min, an infrared lamp was disposed at 64 cm from the samples and an optical fiber thermometer was employed to measure the temperature variation. Cytotoxicity studies and antiproliferative assays against promastigotes were evaluated. The complete work data entitled Amphotericin-B-Loaded Polymer-Functionalized Reduced Graphene Oxides for Chemo-Photothermal Therapy have been published to Colloids and Surfaces B: Bionterfaces (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.112169) [1].

Background: Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a rapid and powerful method for gene functional analysis in plants that pose challenges in stable transformation. Numerous VIGS systems based on Agrobacterium infiltration has been widely developed for tender tissues of various plant species, yet none is available for recalcitrant perennial woody plants with firmly lignified capsules, such as tea oil camellia. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient, robust, and cost-effective VIGS system for recalcitrant tissues.

Traditional cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy, often lack specificity, resulting in severe toxic side effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. There is an urgent need to develop innovative multifunctional nanomedicine carriers that integrate precise diagnosis, targeted therapy, real-time monitoring, and the synergistic effects of multiple therapeutic approaches. In this study, a composite nanodrug delivery system (GO-HA-Ce6-GNRs) based on graphene oxide (GO) was innovatively prepared, which was functionalized with the targeting molecule hyaluronic acid (HA), the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6), and the photothermal material gold nanorods (GNRs).

Biomimetic photosynthesis, which leverages nanomaterials with light-responsive capabilities, represents an innovative approach for replicating natural photosynthetic processes for green and sustainable energy conversion. In this study, a covalent-organic framework (COF)-based artificial photosynthesis system is realized through the co-assembly of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase and a light-responsive proton generator onto an imine-based COF, RT-COF-1. This system demonstrates an ATP production rate of 0.

Optogenetics enables precise control of gene expression in a variety of organisms. We recently developed the first system for optogenetic control of transcription in Bacillus subtilis. This system is based on CcaSR, a light-responsive two-component regulatory system originally derived from Synechocystis PCC 6803.

Background: The design of smart, photoactivated nanomaterials for targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) has garnered significant research interest due in part to the ability of light to precisely control drug release in specific cells or tissues with high spatial and temporal resolution. The development of effective light-triggered DDS involves mechanisms including photocleavage, photoisomerization, photopolymerization, photosensitization, photothermal phenomena, and photorearrangement, which permit response to ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis), and/or Near Infrared (NIR) light. This review explores recent advancements in light-responsive small molecules, polymers, and nanocarriers, detailing their underlying mechanisms and utility for drug delivery and/or imaging.
