Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) are versatile nanomaterials with promising properties. However, efficient functionalization of FNDs for biomedical applications remains challenging. In this study, we demonstrate mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) encapsulation of FNDs. The mPDA shell is generated by sequential formation of micelles via self-assembly of Pluronic F127 (F127) with 1,3,5-trimethyl benzene (TMB) and composite micelles via oxidation and self-polymerization of dopamine hydrochloride (DA). The surface of the mPDA shell can be readily functionalized with thiol-terminated methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG-SH), hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG), and d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS). The PEGylated FND@mPDA particles are efficiently taken up by, and employed as a fluorescent imaging probe for, HeLa cells. HPG-functionalized FND@mPDA is conjugated with an amino-terminated oligonucleotide to detect microRNA via hybridization. Finally, the increased surface area of the mPDA shell permits efficient loading of doxorubicin hydrochloride. Further modification with TPGS increases drug delivery efficiency, resulting in high toxicity to cancer cells.

Emulsion interface engineering has been widely employed for the synthesis of nanomaterials with various morphologies. However, the instability of the liquid-liquid interface and uncertain interfacial interactions impose significant limitations on controllable fabrications. Here, we developed a liquid-nano-liquid interface-oriented anisotropic encapsulation strategy for fabricating asymmetric nanohybrids.

Article Synopsis
- Traditional cancer treatments often harm the body and lead to new health issues, prompting the need for multimodal combination therapies for better effectiveness.
- The study introduces a new smart nanomaterial, RM-Cu/P, which uses a mesoporous polydopamine core and RBC membranes to deliver the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) while enabling combined therapies like photothermal and chemodynamic treatment.
- The RM-Cu/P@DOX nanoparticles showed reduced toxicity, enhanced targeting and circulation, and significantly improved antitumor effects through multiple stimulation responses compared to standard monotherapy.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new type of nanoreactor using glucose oxidase (GOX) that combines different treatment methods, including ferroptosis and photothermal therapy, to target tumors more effectively.
- The nanoreactor features a manganese oxide shell that helps produce toxic hydroxyl radicals while depleting glutathione in cancer cells, enhancing its cancer-fighting capabilities.
- The combination of these technologies, especially when activated by a near-infrared laser, resulted in a notable 64.33% reduction in tumor size in tests, showing promise for future cancer therapies.

The non-specific leakage of drugs from nanocarriers seriously weakened the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy, and it was very critical of constructing tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive delivery nanocarriers, achieving the modulation release of drugs. Herein, using manganese dioxide (MnO) as gatekeeper, an intelligent nanoplatform based on mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) was developed to deliver doxorubicin (DOX), by which the DOX release was precisely controlled, and simultaneously the photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) were realized. In normal physiological environment, the stable MnO shell effectively avoided the leakage of DOX.
