The combination of multiple therapies could significantly improve the efficiency of treatment for malignant tumors, which has become the trend of cancer research and treatment. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is able to enhance the sensitivity of anti-tumor drugs and reduces the adverse reactions, but AS-IV alone is not much powerful lethality to cancer cells. AS-IV and photosensitizer ICG are combined, which contributes to elevate the anti-tumor effect. In this study, we constructed the liposome co-loading with AS-IV and near infrared (NIR) dye ICG for chemo-photothermal therapy of breast cancer. In addition, the anticancer properties of the liposome have been studied in vitro and in vivo . AS-IV/ICG-LPs showed the uniform structure, preferable photothermal response, excellent physiological stability, and photo-responsive drug release behavior. Furthermore, in comparison with individual chemotherapy or PTT, the combinational chemo-PTT therapy of AS-IV/ICG-LPs with NIR laser irradiation synergistically induced apoptosis and death of cancer cells in vitro , and demonstrated synergistic chemo-PTT efficiency in vivo as evidenced by highly efficient tumor tissue ablation. Moreover, the liposome materials of FDA-approved agents provide a safe strategy in the rational design of synergistic combination therapy.

Triple-cation mixed metal halide perovskites are important optoelectronic materials due to their high photon to electron conversion efficiency, low exciton binding energy, and good thermal stability. However, the perovskites have low photon to electron conversion efficiency in near-infrared (NIR) due to their weak intrinsic absorption at longer wavelength, especially near the band edge and over the bandgap wavelength. A plasmonic functionalized perovskite photodetector (PD) is designed and fabricated in this study, in which the perovskite ((Cs 0.06 FA 0.79 MA 0.15 )Pb(I 0.85 Br 0.15 ) 3 ) active materials are spin-coated on the surface of Au bowtie nanoantenna (BNA) arrays substrate. Under 785 nm laser illumination, near the bandedge of perovskite, the fabricated BNA-based plasmonic PD exhibits ≈2962% enhancement in the photoresponse over the Si/SiO 2 -based normal PD. Moreover, the detectivity of the plasmonic PD has a value of 1.5 × 10 12 with external quantum efficiency as high as 188.8%, more than 30 times over the normal PD. The strong boosting in the plasmonic PD performance is attributed to the enhanced electric field around BNA arrays through the coupling of localized surface plasmon resonance. The demonstrated BNA-perovskite design can also be used to enhance performance of other optoelectronic devices, and the concept can be extended to other spectral regions with different active materials.

Although quite some self-healing coatings have been reported to date, underwater healable coatings were involved very limited. Here, we report a novel underwater healable superoleophobic coating through depositing functional SiO 2 @ [email protected] particles on the TPA/EVA-70% film. The obtained coating not only possess excellent underwater superoleophobic and antifouling properties, but also quick healable performance by remote NIR irradiation. Thus, it may provide stable and long-lasting underwater antifouling properties against marine growth and oil contamination.

Locally administrable drugs with controllable release on external cues hold great promise for antitumor therapy. Here, we report an injectable, supramolecular hydrogel (SHG), where the drug release can be controllably driven by near infrared (NIR) irradiation. The SHGs are formed by electrostatic interactions with LAPONITE® (XLG), in which upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) modified with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) are used as the core, and azobenzene quaternary ammonium salts (E-azo) are further assembled through host–guest interactions. The hydrogel demonstrates reversible phase transition between gel and sol states and photothermal conversion capability. In detailed in vitro and vivo trials, drug-loaded SHGs successfully suppressed invasion by cancer cells. Phase transitions that are regulated by NIR light and promote drug release using photothermal effects, highlighting the considerable potential of supramolecular hydrogels in anticancer therapies, especially for treatments requiring long-term, on-demand drug supply in clinics.

Novel optical labels for biosensing in near-infrared (NIR) region (especially between 800 and 900 nm) are arousing much attention for higher penetrating capability, less scattering and lowered autofluorescent background. Herein, a water-soluble electrochemiluminophore with effective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) around 815 nm is developed via doping dual-stabilizers-capped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) with Co 2+ species in a growth-doping way. The Co 2+ -doped CdTe NCs not only can preserve the highly-passivated surface states of dual-stabilizers-capped CdTe NCs, but also exhibit efficient red-shifted photoluminescence (PL) and ECL into the promising optical NIR window of 800–900 nm. A spectrum-based ultrasensitive NIR ECL immunosensor is consequently fabricated with the Co 2+ -doped CdTe NCs as tags for the first time, which can selectively and sensitively determine human carcinoembryonic antigen with a wide linearity range from 1 fg/mL to 10 pg/mL and a low limit of detection at 0.2 fg/mL (S/N = 3). This work opens a way to screen novel NIR electrochemiluminophore as well as to modulate the ECL performance of NCs via surface doping and engineering.

Despite the success of galvanic replacement in preparing hollow nanostructures with diversified morphologies via the replacement reaction between sacrificial metal nanoparticles (NPs) seeds and less active metal ions, limited advances are made for producing branched alloy nanostructures. In this paper, we report an extended galvanic replacement for preparing branched Au–Ag NPs with Au-rich core and Ag branches using hydroquinone (HQ) as the reductant. In the presence of HQ, the preformed Ag seeds are replaceable by Au and, in turn, supply the growth of Ag branches. By altering the feed ratio of Ag seeds, HAuCl4, and HQ, the size and morphology of the NPs are tunable. Accordingly, the surface plasmon resonance absorption is tuned to near-infrared (NIR) region, making the branched NPs as potential materials in photothermal therapy. The branched NPs are further coated with polydopamine (PDA) shell via dopamine polymerization at room temperature. In comparison with bare NPs, PDA-coated branched Au–Ag (Au–Ag@PDA) NPs exhibit improved stability, biocompatibility, and photothermal performance. In vitro experiments indicate that the branched Au–Ag@PDA NPs are competitive agents for photothermal ablation of cancer cells.

Graphical LET there be luminescence! A new luminescence energy transfer (LET) system has been designed for the detection of thrombin in the near-infrared (NIR) region by utilizing NIR-to-NIR upconversion lanthanide nanophosphors (UCNPs) as the donor and gold nanorods (Au NRs) as the acceptor (see figure). The LET system was used to monitor thrombin concentrations in aqueous buffer and human blood samples. The method was also successfully applied to thrombin detection in blood samples. A new luminescence energy transfer (LET) system has been designed for the detection of thrombin in the near-infrared (NIR) region by utilizing NIR-to-NIR upconversion lanthanide nanophosphors (UCNPs) as the donor and gold nanorods (Au NRs) as the acceptor. The use of upconverting NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ nanoparticles with sharp NIR emission peaks upon NIR excitation by an inexpensive infrared continuous wave laser diode provided large spectral overlap between the donor and the acceptor. Both the Au NRs and carboxyl-terminated NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ UCNPs were first modified with different thrombin aptamers. When thrombin was added, a LET system was then formed because of the specific recognition between the thrombin aptamers and thrombin. The LET system was used to monitor thrombin concentrations in aqueous buffer and human blood samples. The limits of detection for thrombin are as low as 0.118 n M in buffer solution and 0.129 n M in human serum. The method was also successfully applied to thrombin detection in blood samples.

Near-infrared (NIR) in vivo fluorescence imaging has exhibited the distinct advantage of high optical resolution at deeper penetration into biological tissues. Ag2Te quantum dots (QDs), with a relatively narrow band gap, show great promise for fluorescence emission at long wavelengths in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window for bioimaging. However, existing Ag2Te QDs have severely hindered the application of in vivo bioimaging due to their poor fluorescence brightness and stability, so it is important to prepare Ag2Te QDs with high quantum yield and stability as well as high biocompatibility in the NIR-II window. Herein, we designed an integrated method for the preparation of water-soluble Ag2Te QDs by mutual adaptation of QD synthesis and surface modification. We first synthesized high-quality Ag2Te QDs with different NIR-II emission wavelengths and the photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) up to 6.51% by rapidly injecting the TBP-Te precursor into a hot solvent to form a highly fluorescent Ag2Te core. Then water-dispersible Ag2Te QDs were obtained by direct exchange of the hydrophobic Ag2Te QD surface ligands with thiol ligands. The PLQY of the water-soluble Ag2Te QDs obtained by this method can still be maintained at 4.94%. With these highly bright and stable Ag2Te QDs, the abdominal vessels, hindlimb arterial vessels, venous vessels, sacral lymph nodes, and tumor vessels were visualized non-invasively in vivo in the NIR-II window in mice. The results demonstrate that the integrated strategy of QD synthesis and modification provides valuable technical support for further in-depth applications of Ag2Te QDs.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a unique type of coordination polymer characterized by their high porosity and enormous specific surface area, which enable their use as carriers. We have constructed a novel MOFs-based nanodelivery system designed for multimodal combination therapy to enhance the delivery efficiency and efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs. The synthesis of MOF-199, which inherently possesses a drug-release response function, was used as a nanodrug carrier. Doxorubicin (DOX) was encapsulated through physical adsorption, and the carrier surface was modified with a biomimetic material, polydopamine (PDA). Both PDA and hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules contain carboxyl groups, which can be connected through Fe3+-mediated coordination interactions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to test the size, dispersity, and structural characteristics of the synthesized products, confirming their appropriate size and dispersity. BET(BET surface area) and TGA test results indicated that the nanocarrier exhibits good stability, a large specific surface area, and high porosity, making it suitable for use as a drug carrier. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry confirmed that the nanocarrier MOF-199-PDA-HA has the ability to consume GSH, with the drug loading rate and encapsulation efficiency of DOX in the system were measured as 39.58% and 73.26%, respectively. In cellular experiments, the DOX@MOF-199-PDA-HA group produced toxic hydroxyl radicals following H2O2 addition. After near-infrared light irradiation, both cellular toxicity and reactive oxygen species fluorescence intensity increased, indicating further enhanced anticancer efficacy. Using free HA as a control, it was confirmed that HA enhances tumor-specific accumulation of DOX@MOF-199-PDA-HA by binding to CD44 receptors on cancer cell surfaces.DOX@MOF-199-PDA-HA is a pH/GSH/NIR-responsive nanodelivery system with targeting functionality. This system ensures that drugs are released with higher efficiency in the tumor microenvironment through pH and glutathione (GSH) responsive drug-release mechanisms, thereby reducing toxicity to healthy tissues

Polymeric nanomaterials made from amphiphilic block copolymers are increasingly used in the treatment of tumor tissues. In this work, we firstly synthesized the amphiphilic block copolymer PBnMA-b-P(BAPMA-co-PEGMA) via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using benzyl methacrylate (BnMA), poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), and 3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)propyl methacrylate (BAPMA) as the monomers. Subsequently, PBnMA-b-P(APMA-co-PEGMA)@NIR 800 with photothermal conversion property was obtained by deprotection of thetert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) groups of PBAPMA chains with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and post-modification with carboxyl functionalized ketocyanine dye (NIR 800), and it could self-assemble into micelles in CH3OH/water mixed solvent. The NIR photothermal conversion property of the post-modified micelles were investigated. Under irradiation with NIR light (λmax= 810 nm, 0.028 W/cm2) for 1 h, the temperature of the modified micelles aqueous solution increased to 53 °C from 20 °C, which showed the excellent NIR photothermal conversion property.Keywords:amphiphilic block copolymer;self-assembly;NIR photothermal conversion;reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization

Optoelectronic neuromodulation has transformed neuroscience research and holds great promise for treating neurological disorders. However, conventional optoelectronic methods rely on ultraviolet/visible light, which poorly penetrates tissue and typically necessitates surgically implanted optical fibers for deep-brain stimulation. Here, a heterostructure is presented that integrates near-infrared (NIR)-excitable upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and broadband-absorbing CsPbBr 3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs). This nanostructure converts deeply penetrating 980 nm NIR light into localized electrical stimuli, enabling immediate and precise modulation of neuronal activity without implants. In vitro, NIR illumination of this heterostructure reliably increases the firing rate of wild-type dopaminergic (DA) neurons in acute brain slices. Importantly, in vivo, transcranial NIR stimulation of the heterostructure in the secondary motor cortex (M2) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) modulates neuronal activity, triggers turning behavior, and promotes dopamine release. Moreover, it exhibits negligible neuroinflammation and structural stability in brain tissue over at least four weeks. By integrating a stable heterostructure for efficient NIR-driven photocurrent generation, the method offers a non-genetic, minimally invasive platform for precise neuromodulation in wild-type animals.

Wide spectral responsive photocatalysts are of great importance for making full use of solar energy and broad application in highly efficient photocatalytic wastewater treatment, production of H 2 O 2 , etc. Thereinto, it is significative to open an appropriate way to extend the absorption to the NIR region, in which it accounts for ~ 49% in the solar spectrum. In this work, we synthesized successfully the new-style NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ /Ag 2 CrO 4 photocatalyst via the hydrothermal and followed precipitation method, and it exhibited the more excellent photocatalytic performances than Ag 2 CrO 4 for the photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production and disposals of pollutants, such as methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline (TCs). The morphological, structural and optical behavior were investigated by XRD, SEM, N 2 adsorption/desorption, TEM, XPS, UV–Vis DRS, UC luminescence and photoelectrochemical experiments. It revealed that NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ /Ag 2 CrO 4 photocatalyst presented stronger absorptive capacity in the visible–NIR region by the benign fluorescence resonance energy transfer (NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ can convert near-infrared light to visible light via upconversion process), and showed more efficient charge transfer and separation than that of pure Ag 2 CrO 4 . The primary reactive species of ·O 2 − and h + by the trapping experiments played a considerable important role in the photocatalytic process. A promising potent system was suggested for the highly efficient utilization of sunlight in the enhancement of photocatalytic activities.
