A MoS-based nanotherapeutic platform was developed for synergetic photothermal and photodynamic anti-tumor therapy. AIEgens TFPy-SH molecules were intercalated into MoS nanosheets (MoS NSs) with S-deficiencies to give the nanocomposite MoS-TFPy. The AIEgens intercalation expanded the interlayer spacing of MoS NSs and induced the transform of MoS crystal phase from 2H to 1T, offering MoS-TFPy nanocomposite high molar absorption coefficient (5.65 L g cm), excellent photothermal conversion efficiency under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation (38.3%), and favorable intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity. The positively charged MoS-TFPy were mainly distributed in mitochondria after cell up-taking, and achieved 1+1>2 anti-tumor effect attributed to its favorable photothermal and photodynamic properties. The high structure and physiological stability, favorable biocompatibility, excellent photothermal and photodynamic therapy effect make the MoS-TFPy nanoplatform an promising candidate in biomedical clinical applications.

Decades of antibiotic misuse have spurred an antimicrobial resistance crisis, creating an urgent demand for alternative treatment options. Although phototherapy has therapeutic potential, the efficacy of the most advanced photosensitizers (PS) is essentially limited by aggregation-induced quenching, which significantly reduces their therapeutic effect. To address these challenges, we developed a cationic metallocovalent organic framework (CRuP-COF) via a solvent-mediated dual-reaction synthesis strategy.

In this study, we successfully developed a diselenide-based, triple-responsive intelligent nanogel, IR780@BEAP, for lung cancer therapy. Exploiting the elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME), a ROS/GSH dual-responsive diselenide cross-linker (DSe5) was synthesized and used to cross-link betulin (BE) with polysaccharide (AP) while coloading the photosensitizer IR780. The resulting nanogel, IR780@BEAP, exhibited an appropriate particle size (137.

Background: Due to the complex structure and variable microenvironment in the progression of bladder cancer, the efficacy of traditional treatment methods such as surgery and chemotherapy is limited. Tumor residual, recurrence and metastasis are still difficult to treat. The integration of diagnosis and treatment based on nanoparticles can offer the potential for precise tumor localization and real-time therapeutic monitoring.

Multimodal phototheranostics has been recognized as one of the most momentous advances in cancer treatment. Of particular interest is a single molecular species simultaneously featuring in multiple imaging and synergistic phototherapies; the development of such a molecular species is nevertheless a formidably challenging task. Herein, we innovatively designed and synthesized three aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active molecules with emission in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, by employing 10-indeno[1,2-][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-]quinoxalin-10-one as the electron acceptor, 4-(-butyl)--(4-(-butyl)phenyl)--phenylaniline as the electron donor, and different π-bridge moieties.
