Synergistic Therapy In article number 2101155, Yujun Song, Zhengbao Zha, Xin Han, and co-workers report a novel thermo-responsive nanotherapeutic platform, which is triggered by 808 nm near-infrared light irradiation. This exogenously controlled method can be used in combination tumor therapy, including gene-therapy, mild-photothermal chemotherapy, provides versatile strategy for gene editing d...

Drug Free Tumor Theranostics In article number 2205165, Tymish Y. Ohulchanskyy and co-authors introduce hemoglobin nanocrystals for drug free, synergistic selective theranostics of colon cancer. After intravenous (i.v.) injection, these target tumor react with tumor-specific H2S H2O to enable magnetic resonance imaging guided photothermal therapy produce •OH chemodynamic therapy.

Nanomaterial-based photothermal therapy has shown great potential for efficient cancer treatment. Here, we report a new hyperthermia agent, Au-silica nanowire nanohybrid (Au-SiNW nanohybrid) with tunable optical properties, for photothermal therapy. The unique feature of the synthetic method is no need of surface modification of SiNWs for the direct deposition of Au seeds, which can avoid compl...

Gold nanorods have strong surface plasmon band at near-infrared light region, and are used as a photothermal converter. Since the near-infrared light penetrates into tissues deeply, it has been expected as a contrast agent for near infrared light bioimaging, a photosensitizer for photothermal therapy, and functional device for drug delivery system responding to near-infrared light irradiation. ...

In article number 20200070, Quli Fan and his colleagues have displayed that several “spheres” with different characteristics float above the sea dissolved lots of organic semiconducting molecules highlighted by light beam from lighthouse, symbolizing nanomaterials constructed versatility in biomedical diagnostics (fluorescence imaging photoacoustic imaging) therapy (photothermal therapy, chemot...

Molybdenum (Mo) is a trace dietary element that essential for human survival. Several molybdenum-containing enzymes (e.g., aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidase and sulfite oxidase) are associated with key metabolic activities in the body. Molybdenum-based nanomaterials (Mo-NMs), including molybdenum dichalcogenides, oxides, molybdenum-based polyoxometalates, nanocomposites, have been extensively ...
