Nano-theranostics (NTs) are versatile nanomaterials, explored in the current scenario of cancer therapy. A nano-theranostic material alone can diagnose and generate a therapeutic effect. Various materials have been explored for their NT action like gold and carbon-based material. The photon-based cancer theranostics has grabbed the attention of researchers due to their localized and trigger activated effect. NTs have shown a promising result in pre-clinical and clinical studies. The current review illustrates the meticulous efforts conducted by researchers across the globe to innovate and explore the photon-based cancer NT platforms of gold and carbon with their application in cancer therapy.

Gold, essential in both metallurgical extraction and nanoparticle-based technologies, plays a central role in catalysis, sensing and biomedicine. Its interactions with organic ligands are critical for efficient gold recovery through flotation and leaching as well as for synthesizing gold nanoparticles. These interactions, primarily governed by anchoring atoms, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon, define the strength, geometry and selectivity of the gold-ligand interface.

MRI compatible MEMS neural probes are critical for advancing functional neuroimaging and elucidating brain network dynamics, yet conventional metallic implants distort magnetic fields, generate artifacts, and pose thermal risks during MRI. Here, a metal-free neural probe based on multilayer graphene (MLG), fabricated via a scalable, low-temperature spin-spray deposition and co-curing process that directly bonds MLG to flexible polyimide substrates is presented. The MLG neural probe's intrinsic roughness enhances electrochemical performance, achieving a charge storage capacity (14.

Bone cancer remains a life-threatening malignancy predominantly affecting pediatric and adolescent populations, with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) emerging as promising therapeutic agents; however, their clinical utility is limited by poor bioavailability, systemic toxicity, and inadequate tumor targeting. Recent advancements in nanocarrier-based delivery systems have significantly mitigated these limitations by enhancing targeted accumulation of TKIs at tumor sites, reducing off-target effects, and enabling controlled drug release. Various nanocarrier platforms, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, dendrimers, metal- and metal oxide-based nanoparticles, carbon-based carriers, polymeric implants, and hydroxyapatite-based systems, have been systematically evaluated for their efficacy in delivering TKIs for bone cancer therapy.
