Abstract
Hepatectomy is a main therapeutic strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which requires removal of primary and disseminated tumors and maximum preservation of normal liver tissue. However, in a clinical operation, it is difficult to recognize the tumor tissue and its boundary with the naked eye and palpation, which often leads to insufficient or excessive resection. Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, a non-invasive, real-time, low-cost, and highly sensitive imaging technique has been extensively studied in surgical navigation. With the development of fluorescence imaging system and fluorescent probe, intraoperative tumor detection and margin definition can be achieved, making the operation more accurate. Advances in fluorescence imaging of HCC in the NIR region have focused on the traditional first NIR window (NIR-I, 700–900 nm), and have recently been extended to the second NIR window (NIR-II, 1,000–1,700 nm). Compared with NIR-I imaging, fluorescence imaging in the NIR-II exhibits great advantages, including higher spatial resolution, deeper penetration depth, and lower optical absorption and scattering from biological substrates with minimal tissue autofluorescence. There is no doubt that developing novel NIRF probes for in vivo imaging of HCC has high significance and direct impact on the field of liver surgery. In this article, the development of various NIRF probes for fluorescence image guided HCC hepatectomy is reviewed, and current challenges and potential opportunities of these imaging probes are discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescence microscopic analysis of checkpoint protein expression is capable of predicting clinical outcomes for checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. However, accurate detection of their expression levels is hindered by fluorophore photobleaching and cell autofluorescence. We now develop a sensitive and robust fluorescence microscopy method that uses antifade graphite-structured carbon dots (GCDs) on a plasmonic Ag substrate (named ACPAS) for the accurate detection of checkpoint proteins in immunotherapy. In ACPAS, a Ag substrate is used to enhance the fluorescence of GCDs while a continuous illumination is implemented to quench cell autofluorescence, thus enabling a dramatic improvement in the signal-to-background ratio by up to 33-fold. We use ACPAS to monitor programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression levels on various tumor cells and finely differentiate their microscopic changes in combination with chemokine receptor CXCR4-targeted treatments. ACPAS analysis reveals for the first time that CXCR4 agonist (SDF-1α) and antagonist (AMD3100) can potentiate PD-L1 expression by down-regulating CXCR4 expression on tumor cells, which provides valuable information on the development of anti-PD-L1 and anti-CXCR4 combination therapy. We envision that ACPAS will become a broadly useful tool for protein expression studies in biomedicine and life sciences.

Abstract
Rare-earth (RE) based luminescent probes exhibit rich optical properties including upconversion and down-conversion luminescence spanning a broad spectral range from 300 to 3,000 nm, and have generated great scientific and practical interest from telecommunication to biological imaging. While upconversion nanoparticles have been investigated for decades, down-conversion luminescence of RE-based probes in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1,000-1,700 nm) window for in vivo biological imaging with sub-centimeter tissue penetration and micrometer image resolution has come into light only recently. In this review, we present recent progress on RE-based NIR-II probes for in vivo vasculature and molecular imaging with a focus on Er3+-based nanoparticles due to the down-conversion luminescence at the long-wavelength end of the NIR-II window (NIR-IIb, 1,500-1,700 nm). Imaging in NIR-IIb is superior to imaging with organic probes such as ICG and IRDye800 in the ~ 800 nm NIR range and the 1,000-1,300 nm short end of NIR-II range, owing to minimized light scattering and autofluorescence background. Doping by cerium and other ions and phase engineering of Er3+-based nanoparticles, combined with surface hydrophilic coating optimization can afford ultrabright, biocompatible NIR-IIb probe towards clinical translation for human use. The Nd3+-based probes with NIR-II emission at 1,050 and 1,330 nm are also discussed, including Nd3+ doped nanocrystals and Nd3+-organic ligand complexes. This review also points out future directions for further development of multi-functional RE NIR-II probes for biological imaging.

Abstract
We developed dual biologically responsive nanogapped gold nanoparticle vesicles loaded with immune inhibitor and carrying an anticancer polymeric prodrug for synergistic concurrent chemo-immunotherapy against primary and metastatic tumors, along with guided cargo release by photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window. The responsive vesicle was prepared by self-assembly of nanogapped gold nanoparticles (AuNNPs) grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and dual pH/GSH-responsive polyprodug poly(SN38-co-4-vinylpyridine) (termed AuNNP@PEG/PSN38VP), showing intense PA signal in the NIR-II window. The effect of the rigidity of hydrophobic polymer PSN38VP on the assembled structures and the formation mechanism of AuNNP@SN38 Ve were elucidated by computational simulations. The immune inhibitor BLZ-945 was encapsulated into the vesicles, resulting in pH-responsive release of BLZ-945 for targeted immunotherapy, followed by the dissociation of the vesicles into single AuNNP@PEG/PSN38VP. The hydrophilic AuNNP@PEG/PSN38VP nanoparticles could penetrate deep into the tumor tissues and release the anticancer drug SN38 under the reductive environment. A PA signal in the NIR-II window in the deep tumor region was obtained. The BLZ-945-loaded vesicle enabled enhanced PA imaging-guided concurrent chemo-immunotherapy efficacy, inhibiting the growth of both primary tumors and metastatic tumors.

Abstract
Tumor-lymph node (LN) metastasis is the dominant prognostic factor for tumor staging and therapeutic decision-making. However, concurrently visualizing metastasis and performing imaging-guided lymph node surgery is challenging. Here, a multiplexed-near-infrared-II (NIR-II) in vivo imaging system using nonoverlapping NIR-II probes with markedly suppressed photon scattering and zero-autofluorescence is reported, which enables visualization of the metastatic tumor and the tumor metastatic proximal LNs resection. A bright and tumor-seeking donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) dye, IR-FD, is screened for primary/metastatic tumor imaging in the NIR-IIa (1100-1300 nm) window. This optimized D-A-D dye exhibits greatly improved quantum yield of organic D-A-D fluorophores in aqueous solutions (≈6.0%) and good in vivo performance. Ultrabright PbS/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) with dense polymer coating are used to visualize cancer-invaded sentinel LNs in the NIR-IIb (>1500 nm) window. Compared to clinically used indocyanine green, the QDs show superior brightness and photostability (no obvious bleaching even after continuous laser irradiation for 5 h); thus, only a picomolar dose is required for sentinel LNs detection. This combination of dual-NIR-II image-guided surgery can be performed under bright light, adding to its convenience and appeal in clinical use.

Abstract
The importance of the immune system in cancer therapy has been reaffirmed by the success of the immune checkpoint blockade. The complex tumor microenvironment and its interaction with the immune system, however, remain mysteries. Molecular imaging may shed light on fundamental aspects of the immune response to elucidate the mechanism of cancer immunotherapy. In this review, we discuss various imaging approaches that offer in-depth insight into the tumor microenvironment, checkpoint blockade therapy, and T cell-mediated antitumor immune responses. Recent advances in the molecular imaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron electron tomography (PET), and optical imaging (e.g., fluorescence and intravital imaging) for in situ tracking of the immune response, are discussed. It is envisaged that the integration of imaging with immunotherapy may broaden our understanding to predict a particular antitumor immune response.

Abstract
Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) as a simple, low toxicity, low-cost p-type semiconductor material with broad absorbance ranging from the UV to the NIR region has many potential applications in photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and phase-change memory devices. Owing to these excellent properties, Sb2Se3 nanorods were firstly synthesized with triphenylantimony and dibenzyldiselenide under solvothermal conditions. In order to enhance the biocompatibility of the Sb2Se3 nanorods, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was coated onto the surface of the Sb2Se3 nanorods to form PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods. The cell viability of PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods toward Hep-2 cells was assessed for 24 h using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The results showed that Hep-2 cells treated with PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods were alive at a concentration as high as 100 μg mL−1 in the absence of NIR irradiation. In vivo assessment confirmed that PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods exhibited excellent photoacoustic imaging and PTT performance, which yielded complete ablation of tumors after laser irradiation (808 nm or 980 nm) in the NIR-I bio-window. Herein we reported a biocompatible PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods as PTT nanotheranostic agent, which is responsive to the light (808 and 980 nm) in NIR-I bio-windows and effective for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal destruction of cancer cell.![]()

Abstract
Surgical resection is the primary and most effective treatment for most patients with solid tumors. However, patients suffer from postoperative recurrence and metastasis. In the past years, emerging nanotechnology has led the way to minimally invasive, precision and intelligent oncological surgery after the rapid development of minimally invasive surgical technology. Advanced nanotechnology in the construction of nanomaterials (NMs) for precision imaging-guided surgery (IGS) as well as surgery-assisted synergistic therapy is summarized, thereby unlocking the advantages of nanotechnology in multimodal IGS-assisted precision synergistic cancer therapy. First, mechanisms and principles of NMs to surgical targets are briefly introduced. Multimodal imaging based on molecular imaging technologies provides a practical method to achieve intraoperative visualization with high resolution and deep tissue penetration. Moreover, multifunctional NMs synergize surgery with adjuvant therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, immunotherapy, phototherapy) to eliminate residual lesions. Finally, key issues in the development of ideal theranostic NMs associated with surgical applications and challenges of clinical transformation are discussed to push forward further development of NMs for multimodal IGS-assisted precision synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Near-infrared II (NIR-II) imaging at 1100-1700 nm shows great promise for medical diagnosis related to blood vessels because it possesses deep penetration and high resolution in biological tissue. Unfortunately, currently available NIR-II fluorophores exhibit slow excretion and low brightness, which prevents their potential medical applications. An atomic-precision gold (Au) cluster with 25 gold atoms and 18 peptide ligands is presented. The Au25 clusters show emission at 1100-1350 nm and the fluorescence quantum yield is significantly increased by metal-atom doping. Bright gold clusters can penetrate deep tissue and can be applied in in vivo brain vessel imaging and tumor metastasis. Time-resolved brain blood-flow imaging shows significant differences between healthy and injured mice with different brain diseases in vivo. High-resolution imaging of cancer metastasis allows for the identification of the primary tumor, blood vessel, and lymphatic metastasis. In addition, gold clusters with NIR-II fluorescence are used to monitor high-resolution imaging of kidney at a depth of 0.61 cm, and the quantitative measurement shows 86% of the gold clusters are cleared from body without any acute or long-term toxicity at a dose of 100 mg kg-1 .

Abstract
The near-infrared-IIb (NIR-IIb) (1,500-1,700 nm) window is ideal for deep-tissue optical imaging in mammals, but lacks bright and biocompatible probes. Here, we developed biocompatible cubic-phase (α-phase) erbium-based rare-earth nanoparticles (ErNPs) exhibiting bright downconversion luminescence at ~1,600 nm for dynamic imaging of cancer immunotherapy in mice. We used ErNPs functionalized with cross-linked hydrophilic polymer layers attached to anti-PD-L1 (programmed cell death-1 ligand-1) antibody for molecular imaging of PD-L1 in a mouse model of colon cancer and achieved tumor-to-normal tissue signal ratios of ~40. The long luminescence lifetime of ErNPs (~4.6 ms) enabled simultaneous imaging of ErNPs and lead sulfide quantum dots emitting in the same ~1,600 nm window. In vivo NIR-IIb molecular imaging of PD-L1 and CD8 revealed cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment in response to immunotherapy, and altered CD8 signals in tumor and spleen due to immune activation. The cross-linked functionalization layer facilitated 90% ErNP excretion within 2 weeks without detectable toxicity in mice.

Abstract
In the past decade, noticeable progress has been achieved regarding fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window. Fluorescence imaging in the NIR-II window demonstrates superiorities of deep tissue penetration and high spatial and temporal resolution, which are beneficial for profiling physiological processes. Meanwhile, molecular imaging has emerged as an efficient tool to decipher biological activities on the molecular and cellular level. Extending molecular imaging into the NIR-II window would enhance the imaging performance, providing more detailed and accurate information of the biological system. In this progress report, selected achievements made in NIR-II molecular imaging are summarized. The organization of this report is based on strategies underlying rational designs of NIR-II imaging probes and their applications in molecular imaging are highlighted. This progress report may provide guidance and reference for further development of functional NIR-II probes designed for high-performance molecular imaging.

Abstract
Fluorescence bioimaging affords a vital tool for both researchers and surgeons to molecularly target a variety of biological tissues and processes. This review focuses on summarizing organic dyes emitting at a biological transparency window termed the near-infrared-II (NIR-II) window, where minimal light interaction with the surrounding tissues allows photons to travel nearly unperturbed throughout the body. NIR-II fluorescence imaging overcomes the penetration/contrast bottleneck of imaging in the visible region, making it a remarkable modality for early diagnosis of cancer and highly sensitive tumor surgery. Due to their convenient bioconjugation with peptides/antibodies, NIR-II molecular dyes are desirable candidates for targeted cancer imaging, significantly overcoming the autofluorescence/scattering issues for deep tissue molecular imaging. To promote the clinical translation of NIR-II bioimaging, advancements in the high-performance small molecule-derived probes are critically important. Here, molecules with clinical potential for NIR-II imaging are discussed, summarizing the synthesis and chemical structures of NIR-II dyes, chemical and optical properties of NIR-II dyes, bioconjugation and biological behavior of NIR-II dyes, whole body imaging with NIR-II dyes for cancer detection and surgery, as well as NIR-II fluorescence microscopy imaging. A key perspective on the direction of NIR-II molecular dyes for cancer imaging and surgery is also discussed.

Abstract
Non-invasive deep-tissue three-dimensional optical imaging of live mammals with high spatiotemporal resolution is challenging owing to light scattering. We developed near-infrared II (1,000-1,700 nm) light-sheet microscopy with excitation and emission of up to approximately 1,320 nm and 1,700 nm, respectively, for optical sectioning at a penetration depth of approximately 750 μm through live tissues without invasive surgery and at a depth of approximately 2 mm in glycerol-cleared brain tissues. Near-infrared II light-sheet microscopy in normal and oblique configurations enabled in vivo imaging of live mice through intact tissue, revealing abnormal blood flow and T-cell motion in tumor microcirculation and mapping out programmed-death ligand 1 and programmed cell death protein 1 in tumors with cellular resolution. Three-dimensional imaging through the intact mouse head resolved vascular channels between the skull and brain cortex, and allowed monitoring of recruitment of macrophages and microglia to the traumatic brain injury site.

Abstract
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) genome-editing system has shown great potential in biomedical applications. Although physical approaches, viruses, and some nonviral vectors have been employed for CRISPR/Cas9 delivery and induce some promising genome-editing efficacy, precise genome editing remains challenging and has not been reported yet. Herein, second near-infrared window (NIR-II) imaging-guided NIR-light-triggered remote control of the CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing strategy is reported based on a rationally designed semiconducting polymer brush (SPPF). SPPF can not only be a vector to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 cassettes but also controls the endolysosomal escape and payloads release through photothermal conversion under laser irradiation. Upon laser exposure, the nanocomplex of SPPF and CRISPR/Cas9 cassettes induces effective site-specific precise genome editing both in vitro and in vivo with minimal toxicity. Besides, NIR-II imaging based on SPPF can also be applied to monitor the in vivo distribution of the genome-editing system and guide laser irradiation in real time. Thus, this study offers a typical paradigm for NIR-II imaging-guided NIR-light-triggered remote control of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for precise genome editing. This strategy may open an avenue for CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing-based precise gene therapy in the near future.
