Abstract
It is absolutely imperative for development of material science to adjust upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties of highly doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with special optical properties and prominent application prospects. In this work, featuring NaHoF4 @NaYbF4 (Ho@Yb) structures, sub-30 nm core-multishell UCNPs are synthesized with a small NaHoF4 core and varied Gd3+ /Yb3+ coexisting shells. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UCL spectrum, UCL lifetime, and pump power dependence are adhibited for characterization. Compared with the former work, except for a smaller total size, tunable emission in color from red to yellow to green, and intensity from low to stronger than that of traditional UCNPs is achieved for ≈10 nm NaHoF4 core size by means of changing number of layers and Gd3+ /Yb3+ concentration ratios in different layers. Besides, simultaneously doping Ho3+ into the shells will result in lowered UCL intensity and lifted green/red ratio. Surface energy loss and sensitizing energy supply, which can be modulated with inert shielding of Gd3+ and sensitization of Yb3+ , are proved to be the essential determinant. More UCL properties of these peculiar Ho@Yb UCNPs are uncovered and detailedly summarized, and the findings can help to expand the application scope of NaHoF4 into photoinduced therapy.

Abstract
Near-infrared fluorescence imaging in the 1000-1700 nm-wavelength window (NIR-II) has exhibited great potential for deep-tissue bioimaging due to its diminished auto-fluorescence, suppressed photo-scattering, deep penetration, and high spatial and temporal resolutions. Various kinds of inorganic nanomaterials have been extensively developed for NIR-IIa (1300-1400 nm) and NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) bioimaging. However, the development of small-molecule NIR-IIa and NIR-IIb fluorophores is still in its infancy. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel NIR-II organic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophore (HQL2) with a fluorescence tail extending into the NIR-IIa and NIR-IIb region based on our previous reported skeleton Q4. The encapsulated NIR-II AIE nanoparticles (HQL2 dots) exhibited water solubility and biocompatibility, and high brightness for NIR-IIa and NIR-IIb vascular imaging in vivo, a first for NIR-II AIE dots.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based therapeutic modalities including chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) hold great promise for conquering malignant tumors. However, these two methods tend to be restricted by the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we develop biodegradable copper/manganese silicate nanosphere (CMSN)-coated lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LDNPs) for trimodal imaging-guided CDT/PDT synergistic therapy. The tridoped Yb3+/Er3+/Tm3+ in the ultrasmall core and the optimal Yb3+/Ce3+ doping in the shell enable the ultrabright dual-mode upconversion (UC) and downconversion (DC) emissions of LDNPs under near-infrared (NIR) laser excitation. The luminescence in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window offers deep-tissue penetration, high spatial resolution, and reduced autofluorescence when used for optical imaging. Significantly, the CMSNs are capable of relieving the hypoxic TME through decomposing H2O2 to produce O2, which can react with the sample to generate 1O2 upon excitation of UC photons (PDT). The GSH-triggered degradation of CMSNs results in the release of Fenton-like Mn2+ and Cu+ ions for •OH generation (CDT); simultaneously, the released Mn2+ ions couple with NIR-II luminescence imaging, computed tomography (CT) imaging, and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of LDNPs, performing a TME-amplified trimodal effect. In such a nanomedicine, the TME modulation, bimetallic silicate photosensitizer, Fenton-like nanocatalyst, and NIR-II/MR/CT contrast agent were achieved "one for all", thereby realizing highly efficient tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Optical imaging plays a growing role in modern biomedical research and clinical applications due to its high sensitivity, superb spatiotemporal resolution and minimal hazards. Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LDNPs), as a classical category of luminescent materials, exhibit promising photostability, near-infrared (NIR)-excited frequency up-/down-converting capabilities, emission fine-tuning and multispectral features, which have greatly promoted the endeavors of deeper and clearer diagnostics in complex living conditions. This review focuses on the recent advances of LDNP-based multipurpose imaging studies using upconversion, downshifting, lifetime, photoacoustic and multimodal nanoprobes in the NIR (650-1000 nm) and the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm). The principle and design of various functional, activatable, multiplexing or multimodal lanthanide-imaging nanoprobes (LINPs) as well as representative biophotonic applications are summarized in detail. In addition, the future perspectives and challenges for facilitating LINPs to clinical translations are discussed.

Abstract
Optical probes operating in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1,000-1,700 nm), where tissues are highly transparent, have expanded the applicability of fluorescence in the biomedical field. NIR-II fluorescence enables deep-tissue imaging with micrometric resolution in animal models, but is limited by the low brightness of NIR-II probes, which prevents imaging at low excitation intensities and fluorophore concentrations. Here, we present a new generation of probes (Ag2S superdots) derived from chemically synthesized Ag2S dots, on which a protective shell is grown by femtosecond laser irradiation. This shell reduces the structural defects, causing an 80-fold enhancement of the quantum yield. PEGylated Ag2S superdots enable deep-tissue in vivo imaging at low excitation intensities (<10 mW cm−2) and doses (<0.5 mg kg−1), emerging as unrivaled contrast agents for NIR-II preclinical bioimaging. These results establish an approach for developing superbright NIR-II contrast agents based on the synergy between chemical synthesis and ultrafast laser processing. Deep tissue imaging has been limited by the low brightness of probes emitting in the second near-infrared window. Here, the authors use femtosecond laser irradiation to grow a protective shell on Ag2S nanoparticles, achieving 80-fold quantum yield enhancement and imaging with low excitation intensities.

Abstract
Lanthanide based nanoprobe with high efficient down-shifting second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) emission has emerged as a promising agent for tumor-associated vascular visualization. However, most of the developed lanthanide-based NIR-II-emissive probes are activated by 980 nm laser, leading to the concern of biological overheating effect. Herein, the high quality 808 nm laser activated NaYF4:Gd/Yb/Er/Nd/Ce@NaYF4:Nd core-shell nanoprobes with significantly improved NIR-II emission beyond 1500 nm and eliminated overheating effect were developed for imaging-guided resection surgery of tumor and vascular visualization. Methods: The core-shell nanoprobe with boosted NIR-II emission and eliminated heating effect was achieved with combination of Nd-sensitizing and Ce-doping strategies. The NIR-II optical imaging and toxicity assessment were demonstrated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. Results: The designed core-shell nanoprobe presented superior NIR-II emission beyond 1500 nm than the core only nanoparticle and NIR-II emission intensity was improved up to 11.0 times by further suppressing the upconversion (UC) pathway through doping Ce3+. More importantly, non-invasive tumor vascular imaging and NIR-II optical imaging-guided surgical resection of tumor were successfully achieved. Conclusion: It is expected that the Nd-sensitized lanthanide-based nanoprobe with significant improvement in NIR-II emission and eliminated overheating effect is a highly promising probe for NIR-II imaging, making it more competitive in non-invasive vascular imaging and imaging-guided tumor resection surgery.

Abstract
In this research, machine learning including the genetic algorithm (GA) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is used to solve the "low up-conversion luminescence (UCL) intensity" problem in order to find the optimal phosphor with enhanced red UCL emission using multielement K/Li/Mn metal modulation. Compared with the first generation of phosphors, the best phosphors' fluorescence intensity occurs in the third generation optimized by the GA, with a stronger brightness (4.91-fold), a higher relative quantum yield (6.40-fold), and an enhanced tissue penetration depth (by 5 mm). The single and multiple dopants effect on the upconversion intensity of K+Li+Mn sensitizers is also studied: the intensity increases first and then decreases with the increase of Yb/Er/K+Li+Mn content, and the optimized K+Li+Mn concentration is 6.03%. In order to confirm the stability of the brightness optimization by the GA, a batch of phosphors was synthesized with the same element proportion, and the similarity of fluorescence intensity of two batches of phosphors was evaluated by the SVM algorithm with the classification accuracy index. Finally, the optimized phosphor was used for bioimaging and phosphor-LED.

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
Silk fibroin-based materials spun by silkworms present excellent biocompatible and biodegradable properties, endowing them with broad applications for use in in vivo implanted devices. Therefore, it is highly desirable to explore functionalized silk with additional optical bioimaging abilities for the direct in situ monitoring of the status of implanted devices in vivo. Herein, a new type of silk material with a second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) emission is explored for the real-time observation of a biological stent model using a general route of feeding larval silkworms with lanthanide-based NaYF4:Gd3+/Yb3+/Er3+@SiO2 nanocrystals. After being fed lanthanide nanocrystals, the silk spun by silkworms shows efficient NIR-II emission beyond 1500 nm. Moreover, NIR-II bio-imaging guided biological stent model monitoring presents a superior signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio compared to the traditional optical imaging by utilizing the upconversion (UC) region. These findings open up the possibility of designing NIR-II optically functionalized silk materials for highly sensitive and deep-tissue monitoring of the in vivo states of the implanted devices.

Abstract
Probes functioning in the second near-infrared window (1000-1700 nm, NIR-II) exhibit higher resolution and diminished auto-fluorescence compared to those in the traditional NIR region (700-950 nm). Here, we designed and synthesized rare earth ion doped probes with core/shell/shell structures and bright luminescence in the NIR-II region excited at 808 nm. With the doping of Ce3+ ions, the emission intensity of Er3+ at 1530 nm increased 10 times, while the upconversion luminescence decreased to less than 1%. After being modified with polyacrylic acid and polyethylene glycol, the as-obtained water-soluble probe exhibits continuous high-resolution for distinguishing 0.25 mm blood vessels even 10 h after injection. Noteworthily, the imaging of tumors was achieved by injecting the probe, indicating that the designed NIR-II probe has sufficient brightness and the ability to passively target tumor tissue.

Abstract
Sensitive and specific detection of β-hCG in women's serum and cervical secretions is of great significance for early pregnancy evaluation. However, the accurate detection of trace amounts of β-hCG in cervical secretions remains challenging because of its low level. Herein, we report a unique strategy for β-hCG detection in a heterogeneous sandwich-type bioassay by using LiLuF4:Ce,Tb nanoparticles as time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) nanoprobes. By taking advantage of the intense and long-lived PL of the nanoprobes, the short-lived background autofluorescence can be completely eliminated, which enables the sensitive detection of β-hCG with a linear range of 0-10 ng mL-1 and a detection limit down to 6.1 pg mL-1, approximately two orders of magnitude improvement relative to that of a commercial β-hCG assay kit. Furthermore, we demonstrate the application of the nanoprobes for accurate detection of β-hCG in clinical serum and cervical secretion samples and unveil that the ratio of β-hCG levels in cervical secretions and serum can be a good indicator of early pregnancy viability in unknown locations. These findings bring new opportunities in perinatal medicine by employing luminescent lanthanide nanoprobes, thus laying a foundation for future development of luminescent nanoprobes for versatile biomedical applications.

Abstract
Polymer-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials have attracted much attention for the multimodal cancer therapy, while it is still desirable to explore hybrids with superior morphologies for two or more therapeutic modalities. In this work, four types of carbon nanoparticles with distinct morphologies were prepared by an elaborate template-carbonization corrosion process and then functionalized with a similar amount of the superior polycationic gene vector, CD-PGEA [consisting of one β-cyclodextrin core (CD) and two cationic ethanolamine-functionalized poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGEA) arms] to evaluate the morphology-influenced gene and photothermal (PT) therapy. Benefiting from the starting rough hollow nanosphere (RHNS) core, the resultant nanohybrids RHNS-PGEA exhibited the highest gene transfection (including luciferase, fluorescent protein plasmid, and antioncogene p53) and NIR PT conversion efficiency among the four types of nanohybrids. Moreover, the efficient PT effect endowed RHNS-PGEA with PA imaging enhancement and an effective imaging guide for the tumor therapy. In addition, anticancer drug 10-hydroxy camptothecin was successfully encapsulated in RHNS with polycation coating, which also displayed the second near-infrared (NIR-II)-responsive drug release. Taking advantages of the superior gene delivery/PT effect and NIR-II-enhanced drug delivery, RHNS-PGEA realized a remarkable therapeutic effect of trimodal gene/PT/chemotherapy of malignant breast cancer treatment in vitro and in vivo. The present work offers a promising approach for the rational design of polymer-inorganic nanohybrids with superior morphology for the multimodal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in near-infrared IIb (NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm) spectrum holds a great promise for tissue imaging. While few inorganic NIR-IIb fluorescent probes have been reported, their organic counterparts are still rarely developed, possibly due to the shortage of efficient materials with long emission wavelength. Herein, we propose a molecular design philosophy to explore pure organic NIR-IIb fluorophores by manipulation of the effects of twisted intramolecular charge transfer and aggregation-induced emission at the molecular and morphological levels. An organic fluorescent dye emitting up to 1600 nm with a quantum yield of 11.5% in the NIR-II region is developed. NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging of blood vessels and deeply-located intestinal tract of live mice based on organic dyes is achieved with high clarity and enhanced signal-to-background ratio. We hope this study will inspire further development on the evolution of pure organic NIR-IIb dyes for bio-imaging.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LnNPs) have gained increasing attention recently for bioimaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1,000-1,700 nm) because of their excellent photophysical properties, but the construction of LnNPs-based activable probe responding to specific targets remains a challenge. Herein, we proposed an uncomplicated and universal strategy to fabricate LnNPs-based NIR-II probes by target-triggered dye-sensitization process. The dye acts as both the recognition motif of the target and a potential antenna for LnNPs, which can be activated by the target to sensitize the NIR-II luminescence of LnNPs. A proof-of-concept probe for glutathione (GSH) was constructed to validate this approach. It was able to track the fluctuation of GSH level in liver and lymphatic drainage and provide clear images with high contrast and resolution in vivo. This strategy can be generalized to construct NIR-II probes for various analytes by simply changing the recognition motif of the dye, greatly promoting the application of LnNPs.

Abstract
Intraoperative image-guided surgery (IGS) has attracted extensive research interests in determination of tumor margins from surrounding normal tissues. Introduction of near infrared (NIR) fluorophores into IGS could significantly improve the in vivo imaging quality thus benefit IGS. Among the reported NIR fluorophores, rare-earth nanoparticles exhibit unparalleled advantages in disease theranostics by taking advantages such as large Stokes shift, sharp emission spectra, and high chemical/photochemical stability. The recent advances in elements doping and morphologies controlling endow the rare-earth nanoparticles with intriguing optical properties, including emission span to NIR-II region and long life-time photoluminescence. Particularly, NIR emissive rare earth nanoparticles hold advantages in reduction of light scattering, photon absorption and autofluorescence, largely improve the performance of nanoparticles in biological and pre-clinical applications. In this review, we systematically compared the benefits of RE nanoparticles with other NIR probes, and summarized the recent advances of NIR emissive RE nanoparticles in bioimaging, photodynamic therapy, drug delivery and NIR fluorescent IGS. The future challenges and promises of NIR emissive RE nanoparticles for IGS were also discussed.

Abstract
Recently, various second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorophores have been synthesized for in vivo imaging with nonradiation, high resolution, and low autofluorescence. However, most of the NIR-II fluorophores, especially inorganic nanoprobes, are mainly retained in the reticuloendothelial system (RES) such as the liver and spleen, leading to long-term safety concerns. Herein, a type of lanthanide-based excretable NIR-II nanoparticle, RENPs@Lips, which can be quickly cleared out of body after intravenous administration with half-lives of 23.0 h for the liver and 14.9 h for the spleen, is reported. Interestingly, over 90% of RENPs@Lips can be excreted through a hepatobiliary system within 72 h postinjection. The moderate blood half-time (T 1/2 = 17.96 min) allows for multifunctional applications in delineating the hemodynamics of vascular disorders (artery thrombosis, ischemia, and tumor angiogenesis) and monitoring blood perfusion in response to acute ischemia. In addition, RENPs@Lips exhibit high performance in identifying orthotopic tumor vessels intraoperatively and embolization surgery under NIR-II imaging navigation. Moreover, excellent signal-to-background ratio (SBR) is successfully achieved to facilitate sentinel lymph nodes biopsy (SLNB) with tumor-bearing mice. The high biocompatibility, favorable excretability, and outstanding optical properties warrant RENPs@Lips as novel promising NIR-II nanoparticles for future applications and translation into an interdisciplinary amalgamation of research in diverse fields.

Abstract
Near-infrared lights have received increasing attention regarding imaging applications owing to their large tissue penetration depth, high spatial resolution, and outstanding signal-to-noise ratio, particularly those falling in the second near-infrared window (NIR II) of biological tissues. Rare earth nanoparticles containing Er3+ ions are promising candidates to show up-conversion luminescence in the first near-infrared window (NIR I) and down-conversion luminescence in NIR II as well. However, synthesizing particles with small size and high NIR II luminescence quantum yield (QY) remains challenging. Er3+ ions are herein innovatively combined with Yb3+ ions in a NaErF4 @NaYbF4 core/shell manner instead of being codoped into NaLnF4 matrices, to maximize the concentration of Er3+ in the emitting core. After further surface coating, NaErF4 @NaYbF4 @NaYF4 core/shell/shell particles are obtained. Spectroscopy studies are carried out to show the synergistic impacts of the intermediate NaYbF4 layer and the outer NaYF4 shell. Finally, NaErF4 @NaYbF4 @NaYF4 nanoparticles of 30 nm with NIR II luminescence QY up to 18.7% at room temperature are obtained. After covalently attaching folic acid on the particle surface, tumor-specific nanoprobes are obtained for simultaneously visualizing both subcutaneous and intraperitoneal tumor xenografts in vivo. The ultrahigh QY of down-conversion emission also allows for visualization of the biodistribution of folate receptors.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles have long been stereotyped for optical luminescence bioimaging. However, they are known to be unable to produce therapeutic abilities. Here, we describe a lanthanide-based theranostic agent, namely, prussian blue (PB)-coated NaErF4@NaYF4@NaNdF4 core/shell/shell nanocrystals encapsulated in a phospholipid PEG micelle (PEG-CSS@PB), which showed switched imaging and hyperthermia abilities under distinct near infrared (NIR) light activation. The erbium (Er3+)-enriched inner core nanocrystals (NaErF4) enabled the emission of tissue-penetrating luminescence (1525 nm) in the second biological window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm), which endowed high-resolution optical imaging of the blood vessels and tumors under ∼980 nm excitation. High neodymium (Nd3+) concentrations in the epitaxial outer NaNdF4 shell introduced maximum cross relaxation processes that converted the absorbed NIR light (∼808 nm) into heat at high efficiencies, thus providing abilities for photothermal therapy (PTT). Importantly, the coated Prussian blue (PB) increased light absorption by about 10-fold compared to the composite free of PB, thus entailing a high light-to-heat conversion efficiency of ∼50.5%. This commensurated with that of well-established gold nanorods. As a result, the PEG-CSS@PB nanoparticles with MTT-determined low toxicities resulted in ∼80% death of HeLa cells at a dose of 600 μg mL-1 under 808 nm laser irradiance (1 W cm-2) for 10 min. Moreover, utilizing the same light dose, a single PTT treatment in tumor-bearing BALB/c mice shrunk the tumor size by ∼12-fold compared to the tumors without treatment. Our results, here, constituted a solid step forward to entitle lanthanide-based nanoparticles as theranostic agents in nanomedicine studies.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine imaging has been developed as a powerful diagnostic approach for cancers by detecting gamma rays directly or indirectly from radionuclides to construct images with beneficial characteristics of high sensitivity, infinite penetration depth and quantitative capability. Current nuclear medicine imaging modalities mainly include single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) that require administration of radioactive tracers. In recent years, a vast number of radioactive tracers have been designed and constructed to improve nuclear medicine imaging performance toward early and accurate diagnosis of cancers. This review will discuss recent progress of nuclear medicine imaging tracers and associated biomedical imaging applications. Radiolabeling nanomaterials for rational development of tracers will be comprehensively reviewed with highlights on radiolabeling approaches (surface coupling, inner incorporation and interface engineering), providing profound understanding on radiolabeling chemistry and the associated imaging functionalities. The applications of radiolabeled nanomaterials in nuclear medicine imaging-related multimodality imaging will also be summarized with typical paradigms described. Finally, key challenges and new directions for future research will be discussed to guide further advancement and practical use of radiolabeled nanomaterials for imaging of cancers.

Abstract
To date, malignant tumors continue to be the most lethal disease, causing more than 8.2 million deaths worldwide each year. In recent years, nanostructures based on rare-earth upconversion luminescent nanoparticles have shown significant advantages in the integration of multimodal imaging and therapy. Compared with normal tissues, the tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits unique characteristics including high interstitial fluid pressure, abnormal blood vessels, a hypoxic and slightly acidic environment, and high levels of glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). According to these characteristics, increasing attention in the antitumor field has been given to designing nanomedicines with specific responses to the TME based on rare-earth upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and to achieving efficient tumor diagnosis and treatment under the premise of reducing side effects. Nevertheless, a review that systematically summarizes TME-responsive upconversion nanomedicines (UCNMs) for realizing tumor self-enhanced theranostics has not been published to date. In this review, we summarize the recent progress made in UCNP-based nanotherapeutics by highlighting the increasingly developing trend of TME-responsive UCNMs. The general characteristics of the TME are introduced in detail and their utilization in designing TME-responsive UCNMs is systematically discussed. Based on NIR light-excited optical imaging, we discuss the superiority of UCNMs when applied in tumor theranostics with an emphasis on how to use them to realize TME-mediated multimodal imaging-guided therapy.

Abstract
Overexpression of endogenous H2S is one of the key characteristic in colon cancer. However, developing endogenous H2S-activated optical probes for specific diagnosis of colorectal cancer is rarely explored. Herein, an in situ H2S-activatable second near-infrared (NIR-II)-emitting nanoprobe based on Ag-chicken egg white (Ag-CEW) complex for intelligently lighting up colorectal cancer was explored. The designed Ag-CEW complex holds efficient NIR-II emission of 1,000-1,400 nm via endogenous H2S-induced in situ chemical reaction to form Ag2S quantum dots (QDs). After reaction, the designed Ag-CEW complex with high photo-stability and biocompatibility was successfully used for NIR-II imaging-guided specific visualization and precise location of colorectal cancer via endogenous H2S activation. Therefore, our findings provide a new route for specifically targeting diagnosis of colon cancer based on the in situ-activatable NIR-II probe.

Abstract
In vivo second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1.0-1.7 µm) bioimaging , a rapidly expanding imaging tool for preclinical diagnosis and prognosis, is of great importance to afford precise dynamic actions in vivo with high spatiotemporal resolution, deeper penetration, and decreasing light absorption and scattering. In the course of preclinical practices, organic and inorganic emitters with NIR-II signals are indispensable keys to open the invisible biological window. In this review, NIR-II emitters, including but not limited to organic emitters like organic small molecules and copolymers, and inorganic emitters such as lanthanide-based nanocrystals, quantum dots like Ag2 S dots, and carbon nanotubes, are described, especially regarding their unique optical features and noteworthy functions for animal bioimaging. Along with these existing advances, the challenges and potential spaces for further progress are discussed to offer an approximate direction for future researches.

Abstract
The near-infrared range (NIR, 700-1700 nm) has been used as a superior optical window for non-invasive bioimaging. Increasing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the most fundamental method to improve NIR bioimaging. However, the low delivery efficiency of fluorescent contrast agents leads to weak signal at lesions. Moreover, non-specific accumulation and "always on" signals will cause "false positive" signals and high background noise, all of which result in low SNR and potential long-term biotoxicity. Thus, to reach precise detection of lesions, strong bioimaging signals and low background interference are the two important pre-requisites. This review provides an overview of in vivo assembly and disassembly strategies to improve tumor-specific accumulation, "turn-on" the silent signals, and reduce the background noise in NIR bioimaging windows. In vivo assembly and disassembly occurring spontaneously, responding to disease micro-environment or external stimuli, including pH, enzymes, reactive oxygen species, redox, light, and specific recognition is summarized, which may provide ideas and approaches to further enhance bioimaging and reduce long-term biotoxicity concerns.

Abstract
In vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) affords deep-tissue penetration and high spatial resolution. Herein, we present a new type of Tm3+ -sensitized lanthanide nanocrystals with both excitation (1208 nm) and emission (1525 nm) located in the NIR-II window for in vivo optical information storage and decoding. Taking advantage of the tunable fluorescence lifetimes, the optical multiplexed encoding capacity is enhanced accordingly. Micro-devices with QR codes featuring the NIR-II fluorescence-lifetime multiplexed encoding were implanted into mice and were successfully decoded through time-gated fluorescence imaging technology.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) emitting contrast agents with integrated optical temperature sensing are highly desirable for a variety of biomedical applications, particularly when subcutaneous target visualization and measurement of its thermodynamic properties are required. To that end, the possibility of using Nd3+ doped LiLuF4 rare-earth nanoparticles (RENPs) as NIR photoluminescent nanothermometers is explored. These RENPs are relatively small, have narrow size distribution, and can easily be core/shell engineered - all combined, these features meet the requirements of biologically relevant and multifunctional nanoprobes. The LiLuF4 host allows to observe the fine Stark structure of the 4F3/2→4I9/2, 4I11/2, and 4I13/2 optical transitions, each of which can then be used for single-band NIR nanothermometry. The thermometric parameter defined for the most intense Nd3+ emission around 1050 nm, shows high temperature sensitivity (∼0.49% °C-1), and low temperature uncertainty (0.3 °C) as compared to the thermometric parameters defined for the 880 and 1320 nm Nd3+ emissions. Additionally, transient temperature measurements through tissue show that these RENPs can be used to assess fast temperature changes at a tissue depth of 3 mm, while slower temperature changes can be measured at even greater depths. Nd3+ doped LiLuF4 RENPs represent a significant improvement for Nd3+ based single-band photoluminescence nanothermometry, with the possibility of its integration within more sophisticated multifunctional theranostic nanostructures.
