Herein, polyethylene glycol （PEG）-modified cobalt sulfide nanosheets （CoS-PEG NSs） are synthesized and unitized as a powerful theranostic nanoagent for efficient photothermal conversion and multimodal imaging for the first time. We demonstrate that the obtained CoS-PEG NSs show excellent compatibility and stability in water and various physiological solutions, and can be effectively inter- nalized by cells, but exhibit a low cytotoxicity. The CoS-PEG NSs exhibit an efficient photothermal conversion capacity, benefited from the strong near-infrared （NIR） absorption, high photothermal conversion efficiency （~ 33.0%）, and excellent photo- thermal stability. Irnportant136 the highly effective photothermal killing effect on cancer ceils after exposure to CoS-PEG NSs plus laser irradiation has been con- firmed by both the standard Cell Counting Kit-8 and live-dead cell staining assays, revealing a concentration-dependent photothermal therapeutic effect. Moreover, utilizing the strong NIR absorbance together with the T2-MR contrast ability of the CoS-PEG NSs, a high-contrast triple-modal imaging, i.e., photoacoustic （PA）, infrared thermal （IRT）, and magnetic resonance （MR） imaging, can be achieved, suggesting a great potential for multimodal imaging to provide comprehensive cancer diagnosis. Our work introduces the first bioapplication of the CoS-PEG nanomaterial as a potential theranostic nanoplatform and may promote further rational design of CoS-based nanostructures for precise/effident cancer diagnosis and therapy.展开更多

Nonetheless, suffering from the challenges including fast recognition and clearance of foreign nanoparticles by innate immune system before arriving at diseased regions, clinical applications of nanoparticles are usually intercepted. Among various strategies for reducing non-specific phagocytosis and enhancing diseasetargeting efficiency of nanoparticles, membrane coating nanotechnology exhibits great potential in the disease diagnosis and therapeutics due to both the structural and functional preservation of membrane proteins from source cells. Benefiting the inherited immune-regulation capacities, this review mainly summarized the latest development of such biomimetic nanoparticles for immunotherapy in treating immune-related diseases including microbial infections, inflammation, tumor and autoimmune diseases.展开更多
