    Abstract This work reports a new concept of cancer mask in situ to alter the specific biological functions of cancer cells. Metastatic cancer cells are highly invasive in part due to the presence of the glycan matrix in the cell membrane. Using a rational designed bio-orthogonal reaction, the cancer cell surface is reconstructed in situ by incorporating endogenous polysialic acids in the glycan matrix on the cell membrane to form a mesh-like network, called cancer mask. The network of the glycan matrix can not only immobilize cancer cells but also effectively block the stimulation of metastasis promoters to tumor cells and inhibit the formation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), causing metastatic cancer cells incarceration. The results demonstrate a new strategy to control and even eliminate the cancer metastasis that is a major cause of treatment failure and poor patient outcome.

    Abstract Bacterial infection poses a significant threat to human health, and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains has exacerbated the situation. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a promising antibiotic-free treatment option that employs reactive oxygen species (ROS) to cause oxidative damage to bacteria and surrounding biomolecules for treating microbial infections. This review summarizes the recent progress in the development of organic photosensitizers, including porphyrins, chlorophyll, phenothiazines, xanthenes and aggregation-induced emission photosensitizers, for aPDT. A detailed description of innovative therapeutic strategies that rely on the infection microenvironment or the unique structural properties of bacteria to amplify the therapeutic effects is provided. Moreover, the combination of aPDT with other therapy strategies such as antimicrobial peptide therapy, photothermal therapy (PTT) or gas therapy, is described. Finally, the current challenges and perspectives of organic photosensitizers for clinical antibacterial applications are discussed.

    Abstract In recent years, tumor immunotherapy has achieved significant success in tumor treatment based on immune checkpoint blockers and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. However, about 70-80% of patients with solid tumors do not respond to immunotherapy due to immune evasion. Recent studies found that some biomaterials have intrinsic immunoregulatory effects, except serve as carriers for immunoregulatory drugs. Moreover, these biomaterials have additional advantages such as easy functionalization, modification, and customization. In this review, the recent advances of these immunoregulatory biomaterials in cancer immunotherapy and their interaction with cancer cells, immune cells, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment are summarized. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of immunoregulatory biomaterials used in the clinic and the prospect of their future in cancer immunotherapy are discussed.

    Abstract While performing oxygen-related tumour treatments such as chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy, real-time monitoring hypoxia of tumour is of great value and significance. Here, we design a theranostic combination for light-activated ratiometric hypoxia imaging, hypoxia modulating and prodrug activation. This combination consisted of an oxygen-sensitive near-infrared-emitting ratiometric phosphorescence probe and a hypoxia-activated prodrug-loaded covalent organic framework. In this combination, the probe plays two roles, including quantitative monitoring of oxygen concentration by ratiometric imaging and consuming the oxygen of tumour under light excitation by photodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, the enhanced hypoxia microenvironment of tumour can raise the cytotoxicity of prodrug loaded in covalent organic framework, resulting in boosting antitumour therapeutic effects in vivo. This theranostic combination can precisely provide therapeutic regime and screen hypoxia-activated prodrugs based on real-time tumour hypoxia level, offering a strategy to develop hypoxia mediated tumour theranostics with hypoxia targeted prodrugs.

    Abstract A mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-based nanoplatform has attracted growing attention in the biomedical field due to the unique characteristics of MSNs including a high surface area, tunable pore sizes, colloidal stability, ease of functionalization, and desirable biocompatibility. Typically, MSNs are designed as nanocarriers for the incorporation of a variety of contrast agents for bioimaging, which can address the intrinsic drawbacks of contrast agents, including poor solubility in water, rapid photobleaching, and low stability. This review summarizes the recent advances in the field of MSN-based nanoprobes for fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic (PA) imaging applications. The approaches for the incorporation of contrast agents into MSN-based nanoplatforms including encapsulating contrast agents within MSNs, covalently conjugating contrast agents on the surface or pores of MSNs, physically absorbing contrast agents in the pores of MSNs, and doping contrast agents in the framework of MSNs are introduced. MSN-based nanoprobes for fluorescence imaging and PA imaging are discussed. The enhanced fluorescence imaging and PA imaging performances of MSN-based nanoprobes relative to the bare contrast agents are introduced and the underlying mechanisms are discussed in detail. Finally, current challenges and perspectives of MSN-based nanoprobes in the bioimaging field are discussed.

    Abstract Tumor penetration is a critical determinant of the therapy efficacy of nanomedicines. However, the dense extracellular matrix (ECM) in tumors significantly hampers the deep penetration of nanomedicines, resulting in large drug-untouchable areas and unsatisfactory therapy efficacy. Herein, we synthesized a third-generation PAMAM-cored multiarm copolymer and modified the polymer with collagenase to enhance its tumor penetration. Each arm of the copolymer was a diblock copolymer of poly(glutamic acid)-

    Abstract Optical imaging including fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging have been widely employed in early and accurate diagnosis of cancer. Compared to the "always on" optical probes, the molecular probes that could emit their signal in response to the tumor microenvironment exhibit the low background noise and high signal-to-background ratio, allowing sensitive and accurate cancer diagnosis. Polymer-based activatable optical probes display the advantages of improved water solubility, good photostability, extended blood circulation time, and easy functionalization, which enable them to accumulate in tumor for early and accurate diagnosis. This review focuses on recent advances in the development of polymer-based activatable optical probes for tumor fluorescence and PA imaging. The designs of polymer-based optical probes are first discussed. Then the applications for tumor fluorescence and PA imaging using pH, hypoxia, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and enzymes responsive polymer-based optical probes are discussed in details. At last, the present challenges and perspectives of polymer-based activatable optical probes to further advance them into the clinical application are also suggested.
