Summary: Photothermal therapy (PTT) has gained attention due to its minimally invasive and spatiotemporally selective advantages. However, current PTT agents often require complex and environmentally hazardous fabrication procedures. This study presents a genetically engineered bacterium capable of synthesizing melanin nanoparticles under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. These biosynthetic melanin nanoparticles exhibit excellent biocompatibility, stability, and minimal toxicity. They also have a higher photothermal conversion efficiency than chemically synthesized melanin-like polydopamine nanoparticles. Additionally, the biosynthetic melanin nanoparticles show excellent performance in photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and can be used for PAI-guided PTT in vivo.

Summary: Phototherapy, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), is widely used for cancer treatment, but conventional PTT/PDT lack disease recognition ability, resulting in limited therapeutic effects. Integrating fluorescence imaging with PTT/PDT can reveal tumor locations in real-time, enabling early diagnosis and precision treatment. The use of NIR-II fluorescence imaging with PTT/PDT can significantly improve tumor theranostics accuracy and minimize damage to normal tissues.

Summary: Investigating the effect of nanomedicines on cancer cell behavior in three-dimensional platforms is crucial for evaluating and developing novel antitumor nanomedicines in vitro. This study addresses the lack of research on the effects of nanomedicines in 3D confinement, by using PEGylated paclitaxel nanoparticles (PEG-PTX NPs) to treat NPC43 cells in microwells of different sizes. The results show that microwell isolation suppresses drug cytotoxicity and different time-dependent effects were observed in isolated and concealed microenvironments, providing valuable insights for evaluating nanomedicine cytotoxicity and cell behaviors.

Summary: Amino acids are fundamental building blocks of life in biological systems, and their modification can add interesting properties to key molecules. In this study, BDP was modified with l-aspartic acid (Asp) and d-Asp to produce BDP-LAsp and BDP-DAsp, respectively. The synthesized BDPs can self-assemble into uniform nanoparticles (NPs) due to the hydrophilicity of Asp. We discovered that BDP-LAsp NPs exhibited higher photodynamic therapeutic efficacy against cancer cells and bacteria compared to BDP-DAsp NPs. This presents a simple design strategy for modifying photosensitizers in the field of biomedicine.

Summary: Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an effective tumor therapeutic method, but the overexpression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and the self-repair mechanism of malignant tumors may limit its efficacy. A nanoplatform (IBDDP&GOx NPs) integrating PTT, starvation therapy, and oxidation therapy was developed using a conjugated polymer (IBDDP) and glucose oxidase (GOx). This nanoplatform effectively combines the photothermal properties of IBDDP and the biological catalytic activity of GOx, resulting in enhanced inhibitory effects on tumor cell survival and proliferation.

Summary: Phototheranostics, integrating optical imaging and phototherapy, has received widespread attention. Achieving nanophototherapeutics with near infrared (NIR)-light synchronously triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is challenging. In this study, a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform was developed by co-assembling NIR boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) with a cooperative D-pi-A structure of a thiophene-BODIPY core and benzene-diethylamino, and a choline phosphate lipid. The resulting nanoparticles exhibited desirable NIR absorption, uniform spherical morphology, and good colloidal stability. The elaborate molecular design and supramolecular assembly endowed these nanoparticles with desirable PDT and PTT activities.

Summary: The therapeutic effects of photodynamic antibacterial agents can be influenced by the structures of photosensitizers. This study designed and tested 4 BODIPYs with different functional groups and found that the BODIPY with phenylboronic acid (PBA) group exhibited potent activity against planktonic Staphylococcus aureus, while the BODIPY with pyridine (Py) cations or both PBA group and Py cations significantly inhibited the growth of both S. aureus and Escherichia coli. In addition, the BODIPY with Py cations could eliminate mature S. aureus biofilms and promote wound healing. This research provides new insights for the rational design of photodynamic antibacterial materials.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
