Cartilage tissues possess an extremely limited capacity for self-repair,and current clinical surgical approaches for treating articular cartilage defects can only provide short-term relief. Despite significantadvances in the field of cartilage tissue engineering, avoiding secondary damage caused by invasive surgical procedures remains achallenge. In this study, injectable cartilage microtissues were developed through 3D culture of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stemcells (BMSCs) within porous gelatin microcarriers (GMs) and induceddifferentiation. These microtissues were then injected for thepurpose of treating cartilage defects in vivo, via a minimally invasiveapproach. GMs were found to be noncytotoxic and favorable for cellattachment, proliferation and migration evaluated with BMSCs. Moreover, cartilage microtissues with a considerable number of cells andabundant extracellular matrix components were obtained from BMSC-laden GMs after induction differentiation culture for 28days. Notably,ATDC5 cells were complementally tested to verify that the GMs were conducive to cell attachment, proliferation, migration and chondrogenicdifferentiation. The microtissues obtained from BMSC-laden GMs were then injected into articular cartilage defect areas in rats and achievedsuperior performance in alleviating inflammation and repairing cartilage. These findings suggest that the use of injectable cartilagemicrotissues in this study may hold promise for enhancing the long-term outcomes of cartilage defect treatments while minimizing the risk ofsecondary damage associated with traditional surgical techniques.

Gold nanoparticles have recently been exploited as versatile nanocarriers in diagnostic and therapeutic drug delivery for cancer nanomedicine, owing to their biocompatibility, low biotoxicity, surface modifiability and plasma optical properties. A variety of gold nanoparticles have emerged for drug delivery, mainly including gold nanorods, gold nanocages, gold nanostars, gold solid nanospheres and hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs). Among these, HGNs have widely been studied for their higher photothermal conversion efficiency, wider spectral absorption range and stronger surface-enhanced Raman scattering compared with solid gold nanospheres. Therefore, nowadays, researchers prefer to use HGNs to other metal nanocarriers, which can not only play the role of controlled-release drugs but also act as photothermal agents for tumor therapy and diagnosis, due to their properties of surface modification. Combined with the Au–S bond on the surface of HGNs, the targeted preparation is loaded to achieve precise drug delivery. With the assistance of the photothermal characteristics of HGNs themselves, the efficacy of loaded drugs in HGNs is enhanced. In addition, HGNs also have vital values in the field of bioimaging, which serve as photothermal imaging agents and Raman scattering-guided preparations due to their surface-enhanced Raman scattering properties to assist researchers in achieving the purpose of tumor diagnosis. In this review, we summarize the synthesis methods of HGNs and the recent application of HGNs-based nanomaterials in the field of cancer diagnosis and therapy. In addition, the issues to be addressed were pointed out for a bright prospect of HGNs-based nanomaterials.
