Cancer is one of the most devastating and ubiquitous human diseases. Conventional therapies like chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the most widely used cancer treatments. Despite the notable therapeutic improvements that these measures achieve, disappointing therapeutic outcome and cancer reoccurrence commonly following these therapies demonstrate the need for better alternatives. Among them, bacterial therapy has proven to be effective in its intrinsic cancer targeting ability and various therapeutic mechanisms that can be further bolstered by nanotechnology. In this review, we will discuss recent advances of nanotechnology-facilitated bacteria-based drug and gene delivery systems in cancer treatment. Therapeutic mechanisms of these hybrid nanoformulations are highlighted to provide an up-to-date understanding of this emerging field.

Drug And Gene Delivery

Nanomaterials have been widely applied in the field of cancer imaging and therapy. However, conventional nanoparticles including micelles and liposomes may suffer the issue of dissociation in the circulation. In contrast, crosslinked nanogels the structures of which are covalently crosslinked have better physiological stability than micelles and liposomes, making them more suitable for cancer theranostics. In this review, we summarize recent advances in crosslinked nanogels for cancer imaging and therapy. The applications of nanogels in drug and gene delivery as well as development of novel cancer therapeutic methods are first introduced, followed by the introduction of applications in optical and multimodal imaging, and imaging-guided cancer therapy. The conclusion and future direction in this field are discussed at the end of this review.

: Nanobiotechnology has huge potential in the field of regenerative medicine. One of the main drivers has been the development of novel nanomaterials. One developing class of materials is graphene and its derivatives recognized for their novel properties present on the nanoscale. In particular, graphene and graphene-based nanomaterials have been shown to have excellent electrical, mechanical, optical and thermal properties. Due to these unique properties coupled with the ability to tune their biocompatibility, these nanomaterials have been propelled for various applications. Most recently, these two-dimensional nanomaterials have been widely recognized for their utility in biomedical research. In this review, a brief overview of the strategies to synthesize graphene and its derivatives are discussed. Next, the biocompatibility profile of these nanomaterials as a precursor to their biomedical application is reviewed. Finally, recent applications of graphene-based nanomaterials in various biomedical fields including tissue engineering, drug and gene delivery, biosensing and bioimaging as well as other biorelated studies are highlighted.
