Sentinel lymph node imaging is important for breast tumor staging and prediction of postoperative metastasis . However, clinical sentinel lymph node imaging has limitations such as low specificity, low contrast, and short retention time. The combination of bio-conjugates chemistry and luminescence technology may achieve the specific targeting effect. In this research, we designed a dual-targeting composite nanoprobe (∼50 nm) using a metal-organic framework (MOF) as carrier, loaded with lanthanide and ICG , and combined with hyaluronic acid and folic acid to detect metastatic lymph nodes. The coupled hyaluronic acid and folic acid can target to the tumor cells and dentritic cells with a dual-targeting effect. The FA-HA/ [email protected] nanoprobes can accumulate rapidly in sentinel lymph node with a stronger luminescence intensity (1.6 times) than that of normal popliteal lymph nodes in vivo , thus distinguish metastatic sentinel lymph node from normal effectively. Furthermore, due to the MOF carrier, the integrated lanthanide and near-infrared dye by transferring the absorbed excitation energy from ICG to Nd 3+ can enhance the signal-to-background ratio of NIR II imaging and have long retention time in vivo imaging. Finally, the FA-HA/ [email protected] @ZIF-8 nanoplatform increased the penetration depth and contrast of imaging, prolonged the retention time, and achieved the sentinel lymph nodes surgical resection. This study has important implications for lymph node imaging and surgical navigation.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been associated with significant mortality and longer hospital stays. Artificial nanozymes not requiring antibiotics can generate enough reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill bacteria. In this study, we synthesized hexagonal copper sulfide nanosheets (CuS NSs) using a modified one-pot synthesis. The CuS NSs demonstrated photothermal stability and superior photothermal conversion efficiency due to large surface area and existence in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window (1270 nm), promoting the production of ROS. Upon NIR-II irradiation, CuS NSs displayed an excellent biocatalytic antibacterial role in vitro and accelerated abscess resolution, and enhanced the recovery of MRSA-infected wounds in vivo . Moreover, CuS NSs demonstrated negligible toxicity following an amplifying peroxidase-like activity through hyperthermia. Overall, CuS NSs provide a feasible strategy for using the synergistic therapeutic platform for effective therapy of deep-seated MRSA-infected wounds.

Integrating imaging-guided diagnoses with therapeutic strategies holds significant potential in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Herein, we developed a dual stimulus-responsive nanoagent that is responsive to two specific stimuli, and demonstrated its application to the diagnosis and photothermal-starvation therapy of colon cancer. The elevated levels of H 2 S and glucose in colon cancer cells are used as targets for a dual stimulus-responsive, self-assembled copper-albumin-glucose oxidase@polyaniline (Cu 2 + -BSA-GO x @PANI) nanoplatform. Upon entering colon cancer cells, GO x oxidizes glucose to produce gluconic acid, which leads to the protonation of PANI and the red-shifting of the wavelength of maximum absorbance of the nano-platform from 680 nm to 780 nm. Concurrently, Cu 2+ reacts with H 2 S to form CuS, which further induces a redshift from 780 nm to 830 nm, and significantly enhancing the near-infrared II region absorption intensity and enabling photoacoustic imaging under 1064 nm laser irradiation. Additionally, the consumption of glucose within cancer cells inhibits the generation of ATP, achieving starvation therapy while reducing the expression of tumor heat-shock protein 90 to weaken tumoral thermo-tolerance, resulting in a synergistic anti-tumor effect. In vitro and in vivo analyses indicate that the Cu 2+ -BSA-GOx@PANI nano-platform possesses specific visual diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities for colon cancer, providing a novel strategy for the design of highly effective nanodiagnosis-treatment agents.

Immunotherapy has emerged as a highly promising strategy in the realm of cancer treatment, wherein immunogenic cell death (ICD) is considered a potential trigger for anti-tumor immunity by inducing adaptive immunity to dying cell antigens. This process is often accompanied by the exposure, active secretion, or passive release of a large number of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which activate dendritic cells (DCs) and enhance their antigen-presenting capacity. Subsequently, it promotes the recruitment and activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, ultimately leading to tumor growth inhibition. In addition, polarizing the M2 phenotype of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to the M1 phenotype is another way to activate anti-tumor immunity, which can further enhance the effect of anti-tumor immunotherapy. In this study, we engineered a composite nanoparticle of UiO-66-NH 2 @Gold nanoshells@GOx-P-Arg (denoted as UGsGP). The gold nano shells in UGsGP exhibit a broad Near-Infrared-II (NIR-II) absorption to give a high photothermal conversion efficiency and achieve photothermal therapy (PTT). The GOx in UGsGP involves the breakdown of glucose, which results in a decrease in ATP levels and an inhibition of HSP90 and HSP70 production, ultimately enhancing the heat sensitivity of the tumor for PTT. In addition, GOx-mediated starvation therapy by glucose exhaustion produces a substantial amount of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), which can then react with P-Arg to produce intratumoral NO Thus, the synergistic effect of PTT resensitization, the photothermally-enhanced GOx-mediated starvation, and NO-based gas therapy promote the induction of ICD and the polarization of TAMs. The combination therapy exhibits significant antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo. Statement of significance (1) Gold nanoshells on the surface of UiO-66-NH 2 display a broad absorption spectrum ranging from 900 to 1700 nm, combined with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 74.0 %, demonstrating their remarkable ability to harness and convert light energy into heat for effective tumor ablation. (2) Under laser irradiation, GOx within the UGsGPs effectively consumes glucose, increasing intratumoral H 2 O 2 levels, which then reacts with P-Arg to produce NO within the tumor. Concurrently, the reduction in ATP levels suppresses HSP90 and HSP70 production, thereby enhancing the tumor's sensitivity to photothermal therapy. (3) The synergistic combination of NO gas therapy, starvation therapy, and PTT promotes ICD induction and TAM polarization, thereby improving the therapeutic outcomes for primary and distant tumors.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) against cancer not only directly ablates tumors but also induces tumor immunogenic cell death (ICD). However, the antitumor immune response elicited by ICD is insufficient to prevent relapse and metastasis because of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). A biomimetic nanoplatform (bmNP) mimicking cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) for combinational photothermal-immunotherapy to effectively regulate the immunosuppressive TME is reported here. The bmNP is constructed by wrapping the T -cell membrane onto a new type of photothermal agents, spherical Au-based PNCs (sAuPNCs). Similar to T -cells, the bmNP enhanced accumulation at the tumor site by targeting the tumor via adhesion proteins on T -cell membrane. The obtained sAuPNCs have a wide absorption band in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region with a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) up to about 75% and excellent photostability. The bmNP with a smaller size is more superior compete with T -cells to bond with tumor cells via PD-1/PD-L1 interaction to effectively block the PD-1 checkpoint of T -cells for preventing T -cell exhaustion. Furthermore, in vivo studies reveal the immunological memory effect is significantly elicited in mice received bmNPs therapy. Collectively, bmNPs show great potential in photothermal-enhanced immunotherapy.

Given the challenge of multidrug resistance in antibiotics, non-antibiotic-dependent antibacterial strategies show promise for anti-infective therapy. V 2 C MXene-based nanomaterials have demonstrated strong biocompatibility and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) for photothermal therapy (PTT). However, the limitation of V 2 C MXene's laser irradiation to the near-infrared region I (NIR-I) restricts tissue penetration, making it difficult to achieve complete bacterial eradication with single-effect therapeutic strategies. To address this, Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) were attached to V 2 C, forming artificial nanoplatforms (Pt@V 2 C). Pt@V 2 C exhibited enhanced PCE (59.6%) and a longer irradiation laser (NIR-II) due to the surface plasmon resonance effect of Pt NPs and V 2 C. Notably, Pt@V 2 C displayed dual enzyme-like activity with chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and NIR-II enhanced dual enzyme-like activity. The biocatalytic mechanism of Pt@V 2 C was elucidated using density functional theory. In an in vivo animal model, Pt@V 2 C effectively eliminated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from deep-seated tissues in subcutaneous abscesses and bacterial keratitis environments, accelerating abscess resolution and promoting wound and cornea healing through the synergistic effects of PTT/CDT. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Pt@V 2 C targeted inflammatory pathways, providing insight into its therapeutic mechanism. This study presents a promising therapeutic approach involving hyperthermia-amplified biocatalysis with Pt NPs and MXene nanocomposites. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

The variation of the integrity of the intestinal barrier is closely related to the occurrence and progression of various diseases, making its accurate detection and monitoring essential to provide reliable information for guiding the refinement of treatment scenarios. Herein, we developed a strategy utilizing glutathione-capped gold clusters (Au-GSH) to achieve simultaneous in vivo second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging and in vitro colorimetric urinalysis for noninvasive detection and monitoring of intestinal barrier integrity. After oral administration, Au-GSH can demonstrate different distribution behaviors in terms of the variation of intestinal barrier integrity. Specifically, Au-GSH could selectively permeate through compromised intestinal barrier to be distributed into the bladder in view of its ultrasmall size below the glomerular filtration cutoff, leading to the rapid excretion through urine. Such process can be visually profiled by collecting NIR-II fluorescence (>1100 nm) emitting from Au-GSH in a noninvasive real-time manner. By virtue of the peroxidase-like activity of Au-GSH, the simple colorimetric urinalysis was further established for evaluating the integrity of the intestinal barrier, advancing the detection and monitoring performance. As a result, our developed strategy successfully detected the damage of intestinal barrier integrity in ulcerative colitis (UC) mice, a common disease characterized by compromised intestinal barrier integrity. Excitingly, the monitoring of restoration of intestinal barrier integrity in both therapeutic and preventative modes for UC mice was also realized by our strategy, making it a promising diagnosis scenario for diseases related to the variation of intestinal barrier integrity.

The growing pace of two-dimensional (2D) transitional metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) has become a spotlight for recent research. Similarly, the need to close the gap left by conventional antibiotics, fighting off bacterial infections, and drug resistance has become eminent. Especially, MXenes are widely used as excellent photothermal agents. However, there are limited reports on MXenes as sonosensitizer. Herein, a high-entropy MXene (HEM), TVNMC was fabricated for the generation of reactive oxide species (ROS) against Methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Interestingly the energy storage and conversion from the diverse composition of the TVNMC MXenes allowed the generation of ROS under US irradiation and even enhanced under Photothermal therapy. This combinatorial therapy undertook a near-total kill and eradication of MRSA with its biofilm. Moreover, TVNMC MXene simultaneously eliminated MRSA abscesses while promoting wound healing with negligible anomaly to murine tissues under sonodynamic and photothermal therapy, making the TVNMC MXene a promising sonosensitizer for possible biomedical usage. Overall, this system provides great potential for the use of high-entropy MXenes as a new type of sonosensitizer in anti-infection therapy.

Precise theranostics of tumors is intricately linked to the early detection and monitoring of lymph nodes (LN) and metastases, making the targeted localization of LNs essential for tumor identification. However, designing LN-targeting probes remains a significant challenge due to issues such as lymphatic uptake, biocompatibility, and fluorescence stability. To address these challenges, near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence probes are developed through meticulous analysis of LN physiological structure and passive targeting strategy for LN detection and tumor therapy. An LPP-QDs-IR-820 nanocomposite (NCs) is engineered, comprising the IR-820 molecules and ultrabright PbS@CdS quantum dots (QDs), which are encapsulated within a liposome-SH-mPEG 2000 polymer matrix. These NCs demonstrates remarkable lymphatic enrichment, facilitating real-time tracking of LN via electrostatic repulsion and extracellular matrix effects. Importantly, the NCs exhibit negligible in vivo toxicity and high biocompatibility. The intense NIR-II fluorescence emissions of IR-820 and PbS@CdS QDs confer upon the NCs a high NIR-II fluorescence quantum yield (6%). The cervical tumors and their deep microvessels are clearly observed via NIR-II fluorescence imaging. Moreover, the photothermal properties of IR-820 enable the NCs to achieve a photothermal conversion efficiency of 36.56%, leading to effective photothermal therapy in cervical tumor mice.

It remains a clinical challenge to treat triple-negative breast cancer due to its aggressiveness and metastasis. Photothermal therapy (PTT) in combination with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy offers a promising strategy for such intractable tumors. In this study, a second near-infrared (NIR-II) photothermal agent (PCD NPs) and a tumor microenvironment-activatable nanoprodrug (NLG NPs) for indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) blockade have been designed for the therapy of orthotopic triple-negative breast cancer. The NIR-II absorption of PCD NPs can guarantee the high penetration depth of the laser during PTT. At the same time, NLG NPs can be decomposed into the NLG919 monomer in the tumor microenvironment, which can effectively strengthen the immunogenic cell death-induced immune response. NIR-II PTT in synergy with IDO-1 blockade can effectively inhibit tumor growth and prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. This work thus provides a safe, efficient and feasible method for the treatment of malignant tumors.

Traditional treatments for drug-resistant bacterial keratitis and pneumonia often prove ineffective due to the presence of biofilm barriers and multidrug resistance. Existing nano-antibacterial systems face several limitations, including insufficient tissue penetration depth in the first near-infrared (NIR I) window, the inability of a single treatment modality to simultaneously disrupt biofilms and eradicate residual bacteria, and a lack of efficacy validation in cross-organ (ocular-pulmonary) infection models. In this study, we employed a defect engineering strategy, to construct a palladium-doped TiO 2 nanozyme with oxygen vacancies (PdO V -TiO X ). This nanozyme achieves multiple antibacterial effects through the synergistic combination of second near-infrared (NIR-II) laser-activated photothermal therapy and chemodynamic therapy. Under 1064 nm laser excitation, the system utilizes oxygen vacancy-enhanced peroxidase-like activity to continuously generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH), resulting in a 5.2-fold increase in radical production compared to dark conditions. Additionally, it induces a local temperature rise (ΔT = 28.2 °C). These combined effects—physical disruption of the biofilm matrix and ROS-mediated oxidative stress—effectively dismantle the defense mechanisms of drug-resistant bacteria. In models of drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus keratitis and pneumonia, PdO V -TiO X demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in both the eye and lung, indicating the broad cross-organ applicability of this treatment. Under NIR-II irradiation, the PdO V -TiO X nanozyme significantly elevated ROS levels at the infection site, achieving efficient bactericidal action while effectively penetrating and disrupting mature biofilms. This work presents a novel defect-engineering-regulated nanozyme synergistic therapeutic strategy for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

Near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) luminescence has emerged as a powerful tool for biomedical applications, including sensing, imaging, and drug delivery, owing to its superior tissue penetration depth and high spatial resolution. Lanthanide-based NIR-II nanoprobes are particularly promising due to their outstanding photostability and minimal cytotoxicity. However, two critical challenges impede their widespread implementation: severe thermal quenching at elevated temperatures and inefficient downshifting processes. Herein, a novel strategy is reported to address these limitations by precisely modulating energy transfer dynamics between Ho 3+ and Pr 3+ ions in NaYF 4 core–shell engineering. By carefully optimizing the concentration ratio and spatial distribution of these lanthanide ions in NaYF 4 core–shell nanocrystals, the population of 1 G 4 (Pr 3+ ) is significantly increased, effectively suppressing thermal quenching while boosting downshifting efficiency. The optimized system leverages dual NIR-II emission channels ( 1 G 4 and 5 I 6 ) in NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ @NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Pr 3+ nanocrystals, enabling ultrasensitive temperature sensing with a maximum relative sensitivity ( S r ) of 2.03% K −1 . Furthermore, the synergistic up/down-conversion properties of Ho 3+ and Pr 3+ facilitate multimodal anti-counterfeiting, offering a robust platform for advanced information encryption and storage. This work not only establishes a new paradigm for engineering NIR-II luminescence but also underscores their vast potential in advanced applications, from precision biosensing to high-security encoding technologies.
