Summary: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has gained attention for its specificity in conquering cancers. Through the use of core-shell Au@Cu2-xSe NPs, photothermal conversion efficiency is boosted up to 56.6%, generating heat to accelerate Fenton-like reactions and induce apoptotic cell death. In both in vitro and in vivo studies, tumors were significantly suppressed after this synergistic therapy, guided by PA and CT imaging.

Summary: This study successfully achieved synergistic near-infrared light-triggered low-temperature photothermal therapy (LTPTT) and glutathione-activated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) using self-assembled quercetin-Fe3+ nanoparticles (Qu-Fe NPs). Qu-Fe NPs had a wide absorption range and excellent photothermal conversion ability. They could downregulate the expression of heat shock protein 70 through LTPTT and deplete overexpressed GSH through CDT, resulting in synergistic therapeutic effects.

Summary: PT-enhanced Fenton-based CDT is a promising cancer treatment approach that triggers the Fenton or Fenton-like reactions within the tumor microenvironment to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals. However, existing CDT therapies are hindered by limitations such as low levels of endogenous hydrogen peroxide and low catalytic efficacy, prompting the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) to enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Summary: This study developed a versatile nanomedicine that could effectively treat melanoma by increasing ROS accumulation. The nanomedicine achieved ROS accumulation through mechanisms such as photothermal reaction, glutathione consumption, and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to oxidative stress and apoptosis of tumor cells. The experimental results demonstrated superior antitumor efficacy and good biosafety of the nanomedicine.

Summary: Compared with visceral cancers, breast cancer is epidermal and can be efficiently eliminated by photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided cancer therapy. In this study, multifunctional nanoparticles (DMTH NPs) were developed by loading doxorubicin (DOX) into MIL-100 and modifying it with tannic acid (TA) and hyaluronic acid (HA). DMTH NPs exhibited high DOX loading efficiency, and after modification with TA, they could perform photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT). The NPs targeted tumors and had low toxicity in vivo. The released DOX and .OH worked together to effectively kill cancer cells. PAI-guided chemodynamic/chem o/photothermal synergistic therapy achieved enhanced and precise breast cancer treatment.

Summary: This study developed sulfur-deficient engineered cobalt sulfide quantum dots (CoSx QDs) for improved synergistic photothermal- and hyperthermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of tumors. By modulating the photothermal conversion efficiency and Fenton-like activity, the CoSx QDs exhibited remarkable anticancer properties with favorable biocompatibility. The defect-driven mechanism for the photothermal-enhanced Fenton-like reaction provides a flexible strategy for cancer treatment.
