Summary: We have developed a nanoplatform capable of improving the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) by actively targeting it. By camouflaging the surface of gold nanorods (GNRs) with myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) membrane, we have achieved targeted adjustment of the TME. This nanoplatform also enables multimodal cancer imaging and dual immunotherapy.

Summary: Designing a nanoplatform that combines multimodal imaging and synergistic therapy for precise tumor nanomedicines is challenging. In this study, rare-earth ion-doped upconversion hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, coated and loaded with polydopamine and doxorubicin, were developed for tumor theranostics. The nanoparticles showed excellent photothermal conversion, pH/nearinfrared-irradiation-responsive drug release and multimodal imaging performance. By combining with an antibody, the nanoplatform achieved enhanced photothermal-chemo-immunotherapy against tumors, resulting in potent antitumor immunity and increased survival in mice.

Summary: A polydopamine core-shell nanoplatform engineered with a covalent organic framework (COF) was developed, benefiting from the ultrasmall pores and abundant functional sites of COF. The nanoplatform exhibited enhanced drug loading capacity and reduced drug leakage effect, enabling multimodal imaging-guided photothermal chemo-synergistic tumor-targeted therapy after rational functionalization. This work contributes to the development of COF-based multifunctional theranostic systems.

Summary: Photothermal therapy has the potential to effectively treat tumors, but its clinical application is limited due to the restricted tissue penetration of infrared light. This study developed a nano-platform using liposomes and ICG to overcome the challenges of ICG instability and achieved stable ICG delivery and imaging-guided photothermal therapy, providing a new strategy for retinoblastoma treatment.

Summary: A versatile biomimetic theranostic nanoplatform, based on NK-92 cell membrane-camouflaged mesoporous MnO2-enveloped Au@Pd nanoparticles (APMN NPs), has been developed for MR imaging-guided multimodal synergistic antitumor treatments. The integration of unique structural, optical, multiple-catalytic, paramagnetic, and biological merits of NK-92 cell membrane, Au@Pd cores and mesoporous MnO2 shell in a single nanoplatform enables enhanced tumor-targeting capability, immune escape function, and membrane protein-mediated tumoral uptake property. The new information obtained from this study may promote the development of novel TME-responsive versatile theranostic nanoplatforms for efficient MR imaging-guided multimodal synergistic treatment.
