Abstract
Severe toxicity and rapid in vivo clearance of cationic nanomaterials seriously hinder their clinical translation. Present strategies to improve the biosafety and in vivo performance of cationic nanomaterials require neutralization of positive charge, which often compromises their efficacy. Herein, we report that substituting L-glutathione (L-GSH) on cationic gold nanoclusters (GNCs) with its D-counterpart can effectively improve the biosafety and pharmacokinetics. Compared with L-GNCs, D-GNCs do not exhibit cellular cytotoxicity, hemolysis, or acute damage to organs. Cationic D-GNCs show less cell internalization than L-GNCs, and do not induce cellular apoptosis. In vivo, the chirality of surface ligands distinctly affects the pharmacokinetics and tumor targeting abilities of D-/L-GNCs. D-GNCs show higher extended circulation time in blood plasma compared to similarly-sized and poly (ethylene glycol)-modified gold nanoparticles. This work demonstrates that the choice of chirality of surface ligands can determine toxicities and pharmacokinetics of cationic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoparticles hold the potential to greatly improve cancer management by providing personalized medicine. Although many theranostic nanoconstructs have been successful in preclinical studies, clinical translation is still hampered by their limited targeting capability and lack of successful therapeutic efficacy. We report the use of novel ultrasmall porous silica nanoparticles (UPSN) with enhanced in vivo pharmacokinetics such as high target tissue accumulation (12% ID/g in the tumor) and evasion from the reticuloendothelial system (RES) organs. Herein, UPSN is conjugated with the isotopic pair 90/86Y, enabling both noninvasive imaging as well as internal radiotherapy. In vivo PET imaging demonstrates prolonged blood circulation and excellent tumor contrast with 86Y-DOTA-UPSN. Tumor-to-muscle and tumor-to-liver uptake values were significantly high (12.4 ± 1.7 and 1.5 ± 0.5, respectively), unprecedented for inorganic nanomaterials. 90Y-DOTA-UPSN significantly inhibits tumor growth and increases overall survival, indicating the promise of UPSN for future clinical translation as a cancer theranostic agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonspecific liver uptake of nanomaterials after intravenous injection has hindered nanomedicine for clinical translation. However, nanomaterials' propensity for liver distribution might enable their use in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) repair. During hepatic IRI, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated and the fifth component of complement (C5a) is activated. In addition, C5a is confirmed to exacerbate the vicious cycle of oxidative stress and inflammatory damage. For these reasons, we have investigated the development of nanomaterials with liver uptake to scavenge ROS and block C5a for hepatic IRI repair. RESULTS To achieve this goal, a traditional nanoantioxidant of nanoceria was surface conjugated with the anti-C5a aptamers (Ceria@Apt) to scavenge the ROS and reduce C5a-mediated inflammation. High uptake of Ceria@Apt in the liver was confirmed by preclinical positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The clinical symptoms of hepatic IRI were effectively alleviated by Ceria@Apt with ROS scavenging and C5a blocking in mice model. The released pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly reduced, and subsequent inflammatory reaction involved in the liver was inhibited. CONCLUSIONS The synthesized Ceria@Apt has great potential of medical application in hepatic IRI repair, which could also be applied for other ischemic-related diseases.

Abstract
Green synthesis of gold-zinc oxide (Au-ZnO) nanocomposite was successfully attempted under organic solvent–free conditions at room temperature. Prolonged stirring of the reaction mixture introduced crystallinity in the ZnO phase of Au-ZnO nanocomposites. Luminescence properties were observed in these crystalline Au-ZnO nanocomposites due to in situ embedding of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) of 5–6 nm diameter on the surface. This efficient strategy involved the reduction of Au(III) by Zn(0) powder in aqueous medium, where sodium citrate (NaCt) was the stabilizing agent. Reaction time and variation of reagent concentrations were investigated to control the Au:Zn ratio within the nanocomposites. The reaction with the least amount of NaCt for a long duration resulted in Au-ZnO/Zn(OH)2 nanocomposite. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the formation of Zn(OH)2 and ZnO in the same nanocomposite. These nanocomposites were reconnoitered as bioimaging materials in human cells and applied for visible light–induced photodegradation of rhodamine-B dye.

Abstract
Natural enzymes are efficient and versatile biocatalysts but suffer in their environmental tolerance and catalytic stability. As artificial enzymes, nanozymes can improve the catalytic stability, but it is still a challenge to achieve high catalytic activity. Here, we employed atomic engineering to build the artificial enzyme named Au24Ag1 clusterzyme that hosts an ultrahigh catalytic activity as well as strong physiological stability via atom manipulation. The designed Au24Ag1 clusterzyme activates the Ag-S active site via lattice expansion in the oligomer atom layer, showing an antioxidant property 72 times higher than that of natural antioxidant Trolox. Enzyme-mimicked studies find that Au24Ag1 clusterzyme exhibits high catalase-like (CAT-like) and glutathione peroxidase-like (GPx-like) activity with a maximum reaction rate of 68.9 and 17.8 μM/min, respectively. Meanwhile, the unique catalytic landscape exhibits distinctive reactions against inflammation by inhibiting the cytokines at an early stage in the brain. Atomic engineering of clusterzymes provides a powerful and attractive platform with satisfactory atomic dispersion for tailoring biocatalysts freely at the atomic level.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) featuring the complete atomic utilization of metal, high-efficient catalytic activity, superior selectivity, and excellent stability have been emerged as a frontier in the catalytic field. Recently, increasing interests have been drawn to apply SACs in biomedical fields for enzyme-mimic catalysis and disease therapy. To fulfill the demand of precision and personalized medicine, precisely engineering the structure and active site toward atomic levels is a trend for nanomedicines, promoting the evolution of metal-based biomedical nanomaterials, particularly biocatalytic nanomaterials, from nanoparticles to clusters and now to SACs. This review outlines the syntheses, characterizations, and catalytic mechanisms of metal clusters and SACs, with a focus on their biomedical applications including biosensing, antibacterial therapy, and cancer therapy, as well as an emphasis on their in vivo biological safeties. Challenges and future perspectives are ultimately prospected for SACs in diverse biomedical applications.

Abstract
The second near infrared photoacoustic imaging (NIR-II PAI) and photothermal therapy (NIR-II PTT) have attracted wide interest in cancer theranostics because of maximum permission exposure (MPE), deep penetration, and lower scattering and background noise compared to NIR-I counterparts; however, it is imperative to develop biocompatible nanomaterials having NIR-II response. By utilizing multivalent Au-S coordination bonds, we constructed a zwitterionic polypeptide nanocomposite of PMC@AuNP with a suitable size of 48 ± 2 nm, which possessed a strong and broad absorbance at 650-1100 nm and an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 49.5%. In vitro biological studies demonstrated that NIR-II PTT within MPE was more effective than NIR-I PTT beyond MPE. Along with X-ray computed tomography and photothermal imaging functions, PMC@AuNP in vivo presented unique NIR-I/II PAI with 2.6-5.9 times signal enhancement compared to the contrast. By single dose and NIR-II irradiation (1064 nm, 1 W cm-2, 10 min), NIR-II PTT within MPE completely eradicated MCF-7 tumors without tissue damage and tumor recurrence within 24 days, inducing a better antitumor efficacy than NIR-I PTT beyond MPE. Importantly, this study provides an innovative method for the fabrication of biocompatible zwitterionic polypeptide nanocomposites with unique NIR-I/II PAI and NIR-II PTT attributes, thus holding great potential for precise cancer theranostics and further clinical transitions.

Abstract
The nanoprobes for identification of cancer metastases in the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) organs are of significant importance but are limited due to the long-standing challenge of low tumor-targeting specificity with inadequate targeting efficiency and high nonspecific accumulation. Here, we report a surface regulation strategy that integrates the tumor-acidity-activated charge-reversal behavior and precise control in both hydrodynamic diameter (HD) and surface charge on ultrasmall luminescent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to achieve significantly high tumor-targeting specificity. The precise regulation of AuNPs to a rational HD and surface charge could rapidly and selectively recognize small metastatic tumors (∼1 mm) in liver and lung with high signal-to-noise ratios of 4.6 and 4.5, respectively. These results help further understand the in vivo transport of nanoprobes and provide guidance for design of translatable nanosized nanomedicines in cancer metastasis theranostics.

Abstract
Fluorescence probes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics are of great importance in biomedical imaging with superior spatial and temporal resolution. However, the lack of toxicity studies and deep tissue imaging in nonhuman primates hinders their clinical translation. Here, we report the blood chemistry and histological analysis in nonhuman primates treated with AIE probes over tenfold of an intravenous dose of clinically used indocyanine green (ICG) during a study period of 36 days to demonstrate AIE probes are nontoxic. Furthermore, through bright and nontoxic AIE probes and fluorescence imaging in the second window (NIR-II, 1,000–1,700 nm), we achieve an unprecedented 1.5-centimeter-deep vascular imaging in nonhuman primates, breaking the current limitation of millimeter-deep NIR-II fluorescence imaging. Our important findings, i.e., nontoxic features of AIE probes and centimeter-deep NIR-II vascular imaging in nonhuman primates, may facilitate successful translation of AIE probes in clinical trials.

Abstract
Ultrafine fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have emerged as biocompatible nanoprobes for biomedical imaging in vivo, and the precision surface chemistry of AuNCs is the key for attaining their clinical application. Comparison of two promising candidates for future nanomedicine, i.e. dihydrolipoic acid- versus glutathione-capped AuNCs (AuNC@DHLA vs. AuNC@GSH), was conducted for the first time to clarify their polyethylene glycol-related bioconjugate chemistry (PEGylation) and protein interactions. Gel electrophoresis was performed to separate the number of AuNCs PEGylation, and the molecular weight of the PEG spacer dominated the resolution of the separation in the gel. We have engineered and isolated the mono-PEGylated AuNCs either from the indirect carbodiimide bioconjugate chemistry or the direct Au-S binding. One-pot synthesis showed great efficiency for isolating mono-PEGylated AuNC@GSH from the tailored controlled aggregation of Au(i)-thiolate complexes on in situ generated Au(0) cores. Post-PEGylation of AuNC@GSH was also feasible using monodendate thiol-terminated PEG, but bidendate ligands of AuNC@DHLA exhibited low PEGylated efficiency by Au-S binding. In addition, mono-PEGylated AuNC@GSH significantly enhanced the ability of anti-nonspecific protein adsorption, but mono-PEGylated AuNC@DHLA cannot avoid the nonspecific binding with serum albumin. In addition, specific nano-assembly involving mono-biotinylated AuNCs with streptavidin were also compared using gel electrophoresis. These results provide key insights into the selection, preparation and design of functional AuNCs as nanoprobes for versatile biomedical applications.

Abstract
The coming era of precision nanomedicine demands engineered nanoparticles that can be readily translated into the clinic, like that of molecular agents, without being hindered by intrinsic size heterogeneity and long-term body retention. Herein we report that conjugation of indocyanine green (ICG), an FDA-approved near-infrared (NIR) dye, onto an atomically precise glutathione-coated Au25 (GS-Au25) nanocluster led to a molecular-like photothermal nanoparticle (ICG4-GS-Au25) with significantly enhanced ICG photostability and tumor targeting. Under weak NIR light irradiation conditions, free ICG failed to suppress tumor growth but the original tumors were completely eradicated with ICG4-GS-Au25. In the meantime, "off-target" ICG4-GS-Au25 was effectively cleared out from the body like small-molecule drugs after glutathione-mediated biotransformation in the liver. These findings highlight the merits of molecular-like nanomedicines, offering a new pathway to meet FDA's criteria for the clinical translation of nanomedicines.

Abstract
For renal clearable nanoagents, it is challenging to delay the renal clearance to acquire efficient tumor accumulation. Herein, we report sodium alginate (SA) stabilized gold (Au) NCs. The Au NCs are of high biocompatibility and renal clearable. Contributed from the ligands of SA, the half-life (t1/2) of Au NCs is prolonged to ∼9.3 h, enhancing the tumor accumulation rate to 10.4 %ID/g. In tumor microenvironment (TME), the Au NCs are stimulated to functionally aggregate, which switches on the photothermal effect. Animal experiments prove that Au NCs aggregates are efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) agents for both local treatment of single tumors and systemic treatment of double-tumor models without causing noticeable side effects, confirming the biosecurity of Au NCs and systemic PTT. The switchable strategy of PTT may signify the establishment of a new systemic therapeutic methodology.

Abstract
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become one of the most serious global public health crises. Early detection and effective treatment can effectively prevent deterioration and further spreading of the bacterial infections. Therefore, there is an urgent need for time-saving diagnosis as well as therapeutically potent therapy approaches. Development of nanomedicine has provided more choices for detection and therapy of bacterial infections. Ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are emerging as potential antibacterial agents and have drawn intense attention in the biomedical fields owing to their excellent biocompatibility and unusual physicochemical properties. Recent significant efforts have shown that these versatile Au NCs also have great application potential in the selective detection of bacteria and infection treatment. In this review, we will provide an overview of research progress on the development of versatile Au NCs for bacterial detection and infection treatment, and the mechanisms of action of designed diagnostic and therapeutic agents will be highlighted. Based on these cases, we have briefly discussed the current issues and perspective of Au NCs for bacterial detection and infection treatment applications.

Abstract
Near-IR fluorescence imaging (NIRFI) is a highly promising technique for improving cancer theranostics in the era of precision medicine. Through the combination with cutting-edge bionanotechnologies, the potential of NIRFI can be greatly broadened. A variety of novel NIRF nanoprobes has been developed with ultimate goals of addressing unmet medical needs. Here, we present recent breakthroughs on the fundamental aspects of NIRFI, such as imaging at long wavelengths (1000-1700 nm), and the use of new approaches (X-rays, chemiluminescence, radioluminescence, etc.) for the excitation of novel nanoprobes. Within two decades, research on NIRF nanoprobes has translated to clinical trials and it will further translate to cancer management.

Abstract
Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) with well-defined atomically precise structures present promising emissive prospects for excellent biocompatibility and optical properties. However, the relatively low luminescence efficiency in solutions for most AuNCs is still a perplexing issue to be resolved. In this study, a facile supramolecular strategy was developed to rigidify the surface of FGGC-AuNCs by modifying transition rates in excited states via host-guest self-assembly between cucurbiturils (CBs) and FGGC (Phe-Gly-Gly-Cys peptide). In aqueous solutions, CB/FGGC-AuNCs presented an extremely enhanced red phosphorescence emission with a quantum yield (QY) of 51% for CB[7] and 39% for CB[8], while simple FGGC-AuNCs only showed a weak emission with a QY of 7.5%. Furthermore, CB[7]/FGGC-AuNCs showed excellent results in live cell luminescence imaging for A549 cancer cells. Our study demonstrates that host-guest self-assembly assisted by macrocycles is a facile and effective tool to non-covalently modify and adjust optical properties of nanostructures on ultra-small scales.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles through nucleation of Au clusters have been extensively studied. However, due to low potency, prolonged tissue retention, and irreversible accumulation, the safety considerations have limited their therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Novel gold nanostructures with retained physical properties and higher biodegradability could be prepared by alternative approaches. Previously, a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform carrying gadolinium (Gd3+) has been reported to eliminate through the biliary without accumulation in the liver or kidney within 24 h. Inspired by this discovery, we investigated a new approach of forming gold nanoparticles using preformed LNPs grafting diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid as a chelating agent. Tiny Au nanoparticles are formed by simply mixing Au3+ with preformed diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid-LNP. The Au3+ associates stably to these LNPs after a systematic optimization. The Au-grafted LNPs are scalable and showed excellent photothermal effects when subjected to near-infrared light irradiation. They exhibit enhanced light-induced tumor cell killing at higher efficiency, compared with that of classical gold nanoparticles (citrated reduced). Given an additional small dose (2 Gy) of gamma irradiation, Au-grafted LNP could produce synergistic photothermal and radiotherapeutic effects under reduced light dose. The simple and adaptive nanoparticle design may enhance the margin of safety of gold nanoparticles in the treatment of cancers and other diseases.

Abstract
Unique physicochemical features place gold nanoclusters at the forefront of nanotechnology for biological and biomedical applications. To date, information on the interactions of gold nanoclusters with biological macromolecules is limited and restricts their use in living cells. Methods: Our multidisciplinary study begins to fill the current knowledge gap by focusing on lysosomes and associated biological pathways in U251N human glioblastoma cells. We concentrated on lysosomes, because they are the intracellular destination for many nanoparticles, regulate cellular homeostasis and control cell survival. Results: Quantitative data presented here show that gold nanoclusters (with 15 and 25 gold atoms), surface-modified with glutathione or PEG, did not diminish cell viability at concentrations ≤1 µM. However, even at sublethal concentrations, gold nanoclusters modulated the abundance, positioning, pH and enzymatic activities of lysosomes. Gold nanoclusters also affected other aspects of cellular homeostasis. Specifically, they stimulated the transient nuclear accumulation of TFEB and Nrf2, transcription factors that promote lysosome biogenesis and stress responses. Moreover, gold nanoclusters also altered the formation of protein aggregates in the cytoplasm. The cellular responses elicited by gold nanoclusters were largely reversible within a 24-hour period. Conclusions: Taken together, this study explores the subcellular and molecular effects induced by gold nanoclusters and shows their effectiveness to regulate lysosome biology. Our results indicate that gold nanoclusters cause homeostatic perturbations without marked cell loss. Notably, cells adapt to the challenge inflicted by gold nanoclusters. These new insights provide a framework for the further development of gold nanocluster-based applications in biological sciences.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles as a versatile nanoplatform have been broadly applied in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers due to their inherent superior physicochemical properties (including magnetic, thermal, optical, and catalytic performance) and excellent functions (e.g., imaging, targeted delivery, and controlled release of drugs) through surface functional modification or ingredient dopant. However, in practical biological applications, inorganic nanomaterials are relatively difficult to degrade and excrete, which induces a long residence time in living organisms and thus may cause adverse effects, such as inflammation and tissue cysts. Therefore, the development of biodegradable inorganic nanomaterials is of great significance for their biomedical application. This Review will focus on the recent advances of degradable inorganic nanoparticles for cancer theranostics with highlight on the degradation mechanism, aiming to offer an in-depth understanding of degradation behavior and related biomedical applications. Finally, key challenges and guidelines will be discussed to explore biodegradable inorganic nanomaterials with minimized toxicity issues, facilitating their potential clinical translation in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

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 simultaneous possession of high tumor-targeting efficiency, long blood circulation, and low normal-tissue retention is critical for future clinically translatable nanomedicines. Herein, we reported a facile in situ glycoconjugation strategy for the synthesis of near-infrared (NIR)-emitting gold glyconanoparticles (AuGNPs, ∼2.4 nm) using 1-thio-β-d-glucose as both the surface ligand and the reducing agent in the presence of a gold precursor. The ultrasmall AuGNPs showed similar low healthy organ retention to that of the renal-clearable ultrasmall nonglyconanoparticles, but ∼10 and 2.5 times higher in vitro and in vivo tumor-targeting efficiencies, respectively, were observed. This facile glycoconjugation strategy of ultrasmall AuGNPs was found to show activity towards glucose transporters in the cancer cells and prolonged blood circulation with both renal and hepatobiliary clearance pathways, which synergistically enhanced the tumor targeting of the ultrasmall AuGNPs. This discovery provides a smart strategy for the improvement in tumor targeting by ultrasmall NPs and further strengthens our understanding of glycoconjugation in designing future clinically translatable nanomedicines.

Abstract
The selective infiltration of cell membranes and tissue barriers often blocks the entry of most active molecules. This natural defense mechanism prevents the invasion of exogenous substances and limits the therapeutic value of most available molecules. Therefore, it is particularly important to find appropriate ways of membrane translocation and therapeutic agent delivery to its target site. Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are a group of short peptides harnessed in this condition, possessing a significant capacity for membrane transduction and could be exploited to transfer various biologically active cargoes into the cells. Since their discovery, CPPs have been employed for delivery of a wide variety of therapeutic molecules to treat various disorders including cranial nerve involvement, ocular inflammation, myocardial ischemia, dermatosis and cancer. The promising results of CPPs-derived therapeutics in various tumor models demonstrated a potential and worthwhile scope of CPPs in chemotherapy. This review describes the detailed description of CPPs and CPPs-assisted molecular delivery against various tissues and organs disorders. An emphasis is focused on summarizing the novel insights and achievements of CPPs in surmounting the natural membrane barriers during the last 5 years.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) below 10 nm in size can undergo renal clearance, which could facilitate their clinical translation. However, due to non-linear, direct relationship between their absorption and size, use of such "ultra-small" AuNPs as contrast agents for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is challenging. This problem is complicated by the tendency of absorption for ultra-small AuNPs to be below the NIR range, which is optimal for in vivo imaging. Herein, we present 5-nm molecularly activated plasmonic nanosensors (MAPS) that produce a strong photoacoustic signal in labeled cancer cells in the NIR, demonstrating the feasibility of sensitive PAI with ultra-small AuNPs.

Abstract
Understanding how nanoparticles are eliminated from the body is required for their successful clinical translation. Many promising nanoparticle formulations for in vivo medical applications are large (>5.5 nm) and nonbiodegradable, so they cannot be eliminated renally. A proposed pathway for these nanoparticles is hepatobiliary elimination, but their transport has not been well-studied. Here, we explored the barriers that determined the elimination of nanoparticles through the hepatobiliary route. The route of hepatobiliary elimination is usually through the following pathway: (1) liver sinusoid, (2) space of Disse, (3) hepatocytes, (4) bile ducts, (5) intestines, and (6) out of the body. We discovered that the interaction of nanoparticles with liver nonparenchymal cells ( e. g., Kupffer cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells) determines the elimination fate. Each step in the route contains cells that can sequester and chemically or physically alter the nanoparticles, which influences their fecal elimination. We showed that the removal of Kupffer cells increased fecal elimination by >10 times. Combining our results with those of prior studies, we can start to build a systematic view of nanoparticle elimination pathways as it relates to particle size and other design parameters. This is critical to engineering medically useful and translatable nanotechnologies.

Abstract
Investigations for accurately controlling the interaction between functional nanoparticles (NPs) and living cells set a long-thought benefit in nanomedicine and disease diagnostics. Here, we reveal a surface coverage-dependent cellular interaction by comparing the membrane binding and uptake of three ultrasmall luminescent gold NPs (AuNPs) with different surface coverages. Lower surface coverage leads to fast cellular interaction and strong membrane binding but low cellular uptake, whereas high surface coverage induces slow cellular interaction and low membrane binding but major cellular uptake. The slight number increase of cell-penetrating peptide on the surface of AuNPs shows improved cellular interaction dynamics and internalization through direct cellular membrane penetration. Furthermore, the different intrinsic emissions resulted from the surface coverage variation, especially the pH-responsive dual emissions, make the AuNPs powerful optical probes for subcellular imaging and tracking. The findings advance the fundamental understanding of the cellular interaction mechanisms of ultrasmall AuNPs and provide a feasible strategy for the design of functional NPs with tunable cellular interaction by surface regulation.
