Abstract
Bimodal imaging with fluorescence in the second near infrared window (NIR-II) and positron emission tomography (PET) has important significance for tumor diagnosis and management because of complementary advantages. It remains challenging to develop NIR-II/PET bimodal probes with high fluorescent brightness. Herein, bioinspired nanomaterials (melanin dot, mesoporous silica nanoparticle, and supported lipid bilayer), NIR-II dye CH-4T, and PET radionuclide 64 Cu are integrated into a hybrid NIR-II/PET bimodal nanoprobe. The resultant nanoprobe exhibits attractive properties such as highly uniform tunable size, effective payload encapsulation, high stability, dispersibility, and biocompatibility. Interestingly, the incorporation of CH-4T into the nanoparticle leads to 4.27-fold fluorescence enhancement, resulting in brighter NIR-II imaging for phantoms in vitro and in situ. Benefiting from the fluorescence enhancement, NIR-II imaging with the nanoprobe is carried out to precisely delineate and resect tumors. Additionally, the nanoprobe is successfully applied in tumor PET imaging, showing the accumulation of the nanoprobe in a tumor with a clear contrast from 2 to 24 h postinjection. Overall, this hierarchically nanostructured platform is able to dramatically enhance fluorescent brightness of NIR-II dye, detect tumors with NIR-II/PET imaging, and guide intraoperative resection. The NIR-II/PET bimodal nanoprobe has high potential for sensitive preoperative tumor diagnosis and precise intraoperative image-guided surgery.

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
Diagnostics of cerebrovascular structures and microscopic tumors with intact blood-brain barrier (BBB) significantly contributes to timely treatment of patients bearing neurological diseases. Dual NIR-II fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is expected to offer powerful strength, including good spatiotemporal resolution, deep penetration, and large signal-to-background ratio (SBR) for precise brain diagnostics. Herein, biocompatible and photostable conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CP NPs) are reported for dual-modality brain imaging in the NIR-II window. Uniform CP NPs with a size of 50 nm are fabricated from microfluidics devices, which show an emission peak at 1156 nm with a large absorptivity of 35.2 L g-1 cm-1 at 1000 nm. The NIR-II fluorescence imaging resolves hemodynamics and cerebral vasculatures with a spatial resolution of 23 µm at a depth of 600 µm. The NIR-II PAI enables successful noninvasive mapping of deep microscopic brain tumors (<2 mm at a depth of 2.4 mm beneath dense skull and scalp) with an SBR of 7.2 after focused ultrasound-induced BBB opening. This study demonstrates that CP NPs are promising contrast agents for brain diagnostics.

Abstract
The advantages of fluorescence bioimaging in the second near-infrared (NIR II, 1000-1700 nm) window are well known; however, current NIR II fluorescent probes for in vivo tumor imaging still have many shortcomings, such as low fluorescence efficiency, unstable performance under in vivo environments, and inefficient enrichment at tumor sites. In this study, Ag2 Te quantum dots (QDs) that emit light at a wavelength of 1300 nm are assembled with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and further encapsulated within cancer cell membranes to overcome the shortcomings mentioned above. The as-prepared ≈100 nm biomimetic nanobioprobes exhibit ultrabright (≈60 times greater than that of free Ag2 Te QDs) and highly stable (≈97% maintenance after laser radiation for 1 h) fluorescence in the NIR II window. By combining the active homotypic tumor targeting capability derived from the source cell membrane with the passive enhanced permeation and retention effect, improved accumulation at tumor sites ((31 ± 2)% injection dose per gram of tumor) and a high tumor-to-normal tissue ratio (13.3 ± 0.7) are achieved. In summary, a new biomimetic NIR II fluorescent nanobioprobe with ultrabright and stable fluorescence, homotypic targeting and good biocompatibility for enhanced in vivo tumor imaging is developed in this study.

Abstract
Articular cartilage (AC) is a complex water-bearing tissue consisting of chondrocytes, proteoglycans, and collagen. AC degeneration, which occurs in the early stage and throughout the entire course of osteoarthritis (OA), is one of the main pathological changes of OA. However, current clinical approaches are unable to detect AC degradation during the early stage of OA. Herein, a novel NIR-II probe, CH1055-WL, was developed with an organic fluorophore (CH1055) and type II collagen-binding peptide (WYRGRL) for AC targeting and degeneration imaging. In vitro and in vivo imaging studies demonstrated that CH1055-WL specifically bound to AC and permitted sensitive detection of age-related or surgically induced AC degeneration in living mice. In vitro imaging of cartilage samples from pig knee joint and in vivo imaging of live mice with the probe administered via local injection in joint cavities demonstrated that CH1055-WL specifically and efficiently bound to AC. Further evaluation of CH1055-WL revealed sensitive detection of age-related AC degeneration and surgically induced AC degeneration in living mice. Our results indicated that the cartilage-targeting probe CH1055-WL allowed visual monitoring of AC degeneration in living subjects, thus displaying promise for early OA detection.

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
Our exploiting versatile multimodal theranostic agent aims to integrate the complementary superiorities of photoacoustic imaging (PAI), second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700) fluorescence and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with an ultimate objective of perfecting cancer diagnosis, thus improving cancer therapy efficacy. Herein, we engineered and prepared a water-soluble gadolinium-chelated conjugated polymer-based theranostic nanomedicine (PFTQ-PEG-Gd NPs) for in vivo tri-mode PA/MR/NIR-II imaging-guided tumor photothermal therapy (PTT). Methods: We firstly constructed a semiconducting polymer composed of low-bandgap donor-acceptor (D-A) which afforded the strong NIR absorption for PAI/PTT and long fluorescence emission to NIR-II region for in vivo imaging. Then, the remaining carboxyl groups of the polymeric NPs could effectively chelate with Gd3+ ions for MRI. The in vitro characteristics of the PFTQ-PEG-Gd NPs were studied and the in vivo multimode imaging as well as anti-tumor efficacy of the NPs was evaluated using 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. Results: The obtained theranostic agent showed excellent chemical and optical stability as well as low biotoxicity. After 24 h of systemic administration using PQTF-PEG-Gd NPs, the tumor sites of living mice exhibited obvious enhancement in PA, NIR-II fluorescence and positive MR signal intensities. Better still, a conspicuous tumor growth restraint was detected under NIR light irradiation after administration of PQTF-PEG-Gd NPs, indicating the efficient photothermal potency of the nano-agent. Conclusion: we triumphantly designed and synthesized a novel and omnipotent semiconducting polymer nanoparticles-based theranostic platform for PAI, NIR-II fluorescence imaging as well as positive MRI-guided tumor PTT in living mice. We expect that such a novel organic nano-platform manifests a great promise for high spatial resolution and deep penetration cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Tumor imaging tools with high specificity and sensitivity are needed to aid the boundary recognition in solid tumor diagnosis and surgical resection. In this study, we developed a near infra-red (NIR) probe (P6) for in vitro/in vivo tumor imaging on the basis of the dual strategy of cancer cell targeting and stimulus-dependent activation. The selective imaging capacity towards cancer cells of P6 was thoroughly investigated, and the potential mechanisms of endocytosis were preliminary explored. Methods: GSH-activated biotin labelled NIR probe (P6) was designed, synthesized and characterized. The GSH responsive properties were systematically illustrated through UV-vis, fluorescent tests and LC-MS analysis. In vitro fluorescent imaging of probe P6 was collected in various living cancer cell lines (i.e. SW480, HGC-27, H460, BxPC-3, KHOS) and normal cell lines (i.e. BEAS-2B, HLF-1, THP1) under confocal laser scanning microscopy. Probe P6 was further applied to image primary human cancer cells which were freshly isolated from the peritoneal carcinoma and rectal cancer patients. Serial sections of human tumor tissues were collected and sent for H&E (hematoxylin-eosin) staining and P6 imaging. Live fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging were used to investigate the in vivo imaging of P6 in both tumor and normal tissues in HGC-27 and KHOS xenograft model. Results: Probe P6 could be recognized and transported into cancer cells by tumor specific biotin receptors and efficiently be triggered by GSH to release fluorophore 4. In fact, the cellular uptake of P6 could be partially blocked by the addition of free biotin. Furthermore, probe P6 could image various cancer cell lines, as well as primary cancer cells, exhibiting a ten-fold increase in fluorescence intensity over normal cells. In freshly dissected cancer tissues, P6 fluorescent imaging distinguished the cancerous area under confocal laser scanning microscopy, which was exact the same area as indicated by H&E staining. We also found that P6 exhibited superior selectivity against cancer tissues by local injection. Conclusion: In this study, we developed a dual-modal NIR probe P6 with enhanced cellular uptake into cancer cells and environmental stimulus triggered fluorescence. Our strategy provided a novel insight into the development of imaging tools that could be potentially used for fluorescent image-guided cancer boundary recognition and possibly cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Background: In vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) window using organic fluorophores has great advantages, but generally suffers from a relatively low fluorescence quantum yield (mostly less than 2%). In this study, organic nanoparticles (L1013 NPs) with a high fluorescence quantum yield (9.9%) were systhesized for in vivo imaging. Methods: A molecule (BTPPA) with donor-acceptor-donor structure and aggregation-induced emission enabling moieties was prepared. BTPPA molecules were then encapsulated into nanoparticles (L1013 NPs) using a nanoprecipitation method. The L1013 NPs were intravenously injected into the mice (including normal, stroke and tumor models) for vascular and tumor imaging. Results: L1013 NPs excited at 808 nm exhibit NIR-II emission with a peak at 1013 nm and an emission tail extending to 1400 nm. They have a quantum yield of 9.9% and also show excellent photo/colloidal stabilities and negligible in vitro and in vivo toxicity. We use L1013 NPs for noninvasive real-time visualization of mouse hindlimb and cerebral vessels (including stroke pathology) under a very low power density (4.6–40 mW cm‒2) and short exposure time (40–100 ms). Moreover, L1013 NPs are able to localize tumor pathology, with a tumor-to-normal tissue ratio of 11.7±1.3, which is unusually high for NIR-II fluorescent imaging through passive targeting strategy. Conclusion: L1013 NPs demonstrate the potential for a range of clinical applications, especially for tumor surgery.

Abstract
Low-band gap conjugated polymers with donor-acceptor (D-A) structures have emerged as second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence probes for biological imaging. However, how to control the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) to maintain the low band gap and improve the NIR-II fluorescence intensity is an urgent issue. Here, the quinoid polymers have been developed to effectively regulate the ICT for brighter NIR-II fluorescence signals. Thiophene repeat chain units of different lengths (T, 2T, and 3T) were utilized to link with electron-withdrawing ester-substituted thieno[3,4- b]thiophene (TT) to alter the density of the electron-withdrawing side groups for controlling the ICT. By increasing the thiophene chain length from TT-T to TT-3T, the density of the electron-withdrawing groups decreased and the ICT was weakened. In the case of NIR absorption and NIR-II emission, weakened ICT leads to brighter NIR-II fluorescence. After the preparation of the water-soluble quinoid polymer probes (CPs), TT-3T CPs with weak ICT exhibited the brightest NIR-II fluorescent signals among the three quinoid polymer probes. Several NIR-II biomedical imaging applications, including in vivo cell tracking, blood vascular system images, and lymphatic drainage mapping, show that the TT-3T CP-based nanoprobe had excellent characteristics of long-term stability and high NIR-II spatial resolutions in vivo.

Abstract
Design and synthesis of new fluorophores with emission in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) have fueled the advancement of in vivo fluorescence imaging. Organic NIR-II probes particularly attract tremendous attention due to excellent stability and biocompatibility, which facilitate clinical translation. However, reported organic NIR-II fluorescent agents often suffer from low quantum yield and complicated design. In this study, the acceptor unit of a known NIR-I aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen (AIEgen) is molecularly engineered by varying a single atom from sulfur to selenium, leading to redshifted absorption and emission spectra. After formulation of the newly prepared AIEgen, the resultant AIE nanoparticles (referred as L897 NPs) have an emission tail extending to 1200 nm with a high quantum yield of 5.8%. Based on the L897 NPs, noninvasive vessel imaging and lymphatic imaging are achieved with high signal-to-background ratio and deep penetration. Furthermore, the L897 NPs can be used as good contrast agents for tumor imaging and image-guided surgery due to the high tumor/normal tissue ratio, which peaks at 9.0 ± 0.6. This work suggests a simple strategy for designing and manufacturing NIR-II AIEgens and demonstrates the potential of NIR-II AIEgens in vessel, lymphatic, and tumor imaging.

Abstract
Near-infrared II fluorescence imaging holds great promise for in vivo imaging and imaging-guided surgery with deep penetration and high spatiotemporal resolution. However, most NIR-II aromatic luminophores suffer from the notorious aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect in the aqueous solution, which largely hinders their biomedical application in vivo. In this study, the first NIR-II organic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophore (HLZ-BTED), encapsulated as nanoparticles (HLZ-BTED dots) for in vivo biomedical imaging, was designed and synthesized. The NIR-II AIE HLZ-BTED dots showed high temporal resolution, high photostability, outstanding water-solubility and biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. The HLZ-BTED dots were further used for long-term breast tumor imaging and visualizing tumor-feeding blood vessels, long-term hind limb vasculature and incomplete hind limb ischemia. More importantly, as a proof-of-concept, this is the first time that non-invasive and real-time NIR-II imaging of the gastrointestinal tract in health and disease has been performed, making the AIE dots a promising tool for gastrointestinal (GI) tract research, such as understanding the healthy status of GI peristalsis, diagnosing and evaluating intestinal motility dysfunction, and assessing drug effects on intestinal obstruction.

Abstract
In vivo molecular imaging in the "transparent" near-infrared II (NIR-II) window has demonstrated impressive benefits in reaching millimeter penetration depths with high specificity and imaging quality. Previous NIR-II molecular imaging generally relied on high hepatic uptake fluorophores with an unclear mechanism and antibody-derived conjugates, suffering from inevitable nonspecific retention in the main organs/skin with a relatively low signal-to-background ratio. It is still challenging to synthesize a NIR-II fluorophore with both high quantum yield and minimal liver-retention feature. Herein, we identified the structural design and excretion mechanism of novel NIR-II fluorophores for NIR-II molecular imaging with an extremely clean background. With the optimized renally excreted fluorophore-peptide conjugates, superior NIR-II targeting imaging was accompanied by the improved signal-to-background ratio during tumor detection with reducing off-target tissue exposure. An unprecedented NIR-II imaging-guided microsurgery was achieved using such an imaging platform, which provides us with a great preclinical example to accelerate the potential clinical translation of NIR-II imaging.

The dual-modal nanoprobe is composed of the small organic dye molecule IR-1061, water-soluble poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and folic acid (FA) as the targeted ligands. Depending on the strength of high temporal resolution and preeminent spatial resolution, the targeted biocompatible dual-mode nanoprobe for PAI and NIR-II imaging can provide more detailed date of cancers and diseases, and enables us to specifically diagnose them through quite a precise way. We developed a targeted organic nanoprobe for both photoacoustic imaging and near-infrared-II fluorescence imaging in living mice.![]()

Abstract
Small-molecule fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window has gained increasing interest in clinical application. Till now, very few studies have been exploited in the small-molecule fluorophores with both excitation and emission in the NIR-II window. Inspired by the indocyanine green structure, a series of polymethine dyes with both absorption and emission in the NIR-II window have been developed for NIR-II imaging, providing the feasibility to directly compare optical imaging in the NIR-IIa (1300-1400 nm) subwindow under 1064 nm excitation with that in the NIR-II window under 808 nm excitation. The signal-background ratio and the tumor-normal tissue ratio achieved great improvement under 1064 nm excitation in the imaging of mouse blood pool and U87 glioma tumors. Our study not only introduces a broadband emission fluorophore for both NIR-II and NIR-IIa imaging, but also reveals the advantages of NIR-II excitation over NIR-I in in vivo imaging.

Abstract
Second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence bioimaging has attracted tremendous scientific interest and already been used in many biomedical studies. However, reports on organic NIR-II fluorescent probes for in vivo photoinduced imaging and simultaneous therapy, as well as the long-term tracing of specific biological objects, are still very rare. Herein we designed a single-molecular and NIR-II-emissive theranostic system by encapsulating a kind of aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen, named BPN-BBTD) with amphiphilic polymer. The ultra-stable BPN-BBTD nanoparticles were employed for the NIR-II fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy of bladder tumors in vivo. The 785 nm excitation triggered photothermal therapy could completely eradicate the subcutaneous tumor and inhibit the growth of orthotopic tumors. Furthermore, BPN-BBTD nanoparticles were capable of monitoring subcutaneous and orthotopic tumors for a long time (32 days). Single-molecular and NIR-II-emitted aggregation-induced emission nanoparticles hold potential for the diagnosis, precise treatment, and metastasis monitoring of tumors in the future.

Abstract
The near-infrared window between 1000 and 1700 nm, commonly termed the "second near-infrared (NIR-II) window," has quickly emerged as a highly attractive optical region for biological imaging. In contrast to conventional imaging in the visible region between 400 and 700 nm, as well as in the first NIR (NIR-I) window between 700 and 900 nm, NIR-II biological imaging offers numerous merits, including higher spatial resolution, deeper penetration depth, and lower optical absorption and scattering from biological substrates with minimal tissue autofluorescence. Noninvasive imaging techniques, specifically NIR-II fluorescence and photoacoustic (PA) imaging, have embodied the attractiveness of NIR-II optical imaging, with several NIR-II contrast agents demonstrating superior performance to the clinically approved NIR-I agents. Consequently, NIR-II biological imaging has been increasingly explored due to its tremendous potential for preclinical studies and clinical utility. Herein, the progress of optical imaging in the NIR-II window is reported. Starting with highlighting the importance of biological imaging in the NIR-II spectral region, the emergence and latest development of various NIR-II fluorescence and PA imaging probes and their applications are then discussed. Perspectives on the promises and challenges facing this nascent yet exciting field are then given.

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed rapid technological development on nanoscale probes and imaging optics in the second near-infrared transparency window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm). These methods hold great promise for biomedical applications due to their deep penetration through tissues and high fidelity of images. However, applications of these techniques in biomedical research and translational medicine will require a number of issues to be addressed. In this Perspective, we examine the technical challenges for intravital NIR-II fluorescence imaging technology and discuss where the development of this cutting-edge technique fits in the future.

Abstract
"Theranostics" become increasingly significant in current personalized precision medicine. Herein, we developed a new NIR-absorbing photo-theranostic agent based on water-soluble diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) conjugated polymer (WSCP) dots. The WSCPs can be easily self-assembled into WSCP dots under ultrasonication only, instead of any other nano-technology. Compared to the monomers of WSCPs, WSCP dots have no fluorescence emission but produce photoacoustic (PA) signal detected upon laser irradiation due to the reduced energy loss from excited state. PA imaging in vivo indicated that WSCP dots can accumulate at tumor site within 4 h post-injection. More importantly, WSCP dots not only generate heat with a photothermal conversion efficiency of ∼54%, but also produce reactive oxygen species (ROS, QY ∼13%). Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed effective inhibition of tumor growth by WSCP dots via synergetic photothermal/photodynamic therapy. All results indicate a great potential of WSCP dots as highly efficient theranostic agents in PA imaging-guided synergetic cancer treatment.

Abstract
Real-time optical imaging is a promising approach for visualizing in vivo hemodynamics and vascular structure in mice with experimentally induced peripheral arterial disease (PAD). We report the application of a novel fluorescence-based all-optical imaging approach in the near-infrared IIb (NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm emission) window, for imaging hindlimb microvasculature and blood perfusion in a mouse model of PAD. In phantom studies, lead sulfide/cadmium sulfide (PbS/CdS) quantum dots showed better retention of image clarity, in comparison with single-walled nanotube (SWNT) NIR-IIa (1000-1400nm) dye, at varying depths of penetration. When systemically injected to mice, PbS/CdS demonstrated improved clarity of the vasculature, compared to SWNTs, as well as higher spatial resolution than in vivo microscopic computed tomography. In a mouse model of PAD, NIR-IIb imaging of the ischemic hindlimb vasculature showed significant improvement in blood perfusion over the course of 10 days (P<0.05), as well as a significant increase in microvascular density over the first 7 days after induction of PAD. In conclusion, NIR-IIb imaging of PbS/CdS vascular contrast agent is a useful multi-functional imaging approach for high spatial resolution imaging of the microvasculature and quantification of blood perfusion recovery.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) is a new technique that permits visualization of deep anatomical features with unprecedented spatial resolution. Although attractive, effectively suppressing the interference signal of the background is still an enormous challenge for obtaining target-specific NIR-II imaging in the complex and dynamic physiological environment. Herein, dual-pathological-parameter cooperatively activatable NIR-II fluorescence nanoprobes (HISSNPs) are developed whereby hyaluronic acid chains and disulfide bonds act as the "double locks" to lock the fluorescence-quenched aggregation state of the NIR-II fluorescence dyes for performing ultrahigh specific imaging of tumors in vivo. The fluorescence can be lit up only when the "double locks" are opened by reacting with the "dual smart keys" (overexpressed hyaluronidase and thiols in tumor) simultaneously. In vivo NIR-II imaging shows that they reduce nonspecific activitation and achieve ultralow background fluorescence, which is 10.6-fold lower than single-parameter activatable probes (HINPs) in the liver at 15 h postinjection. Consequently, these "dual lock-and-key"-controlled HISSNPs exhibit fivefold higher tumor-to-normal tissue ratio than "single lock-and-key"-controlled HINPs at 24 h postinjection, attractively realizing ultrahigh specificity of tumor imaging. This is thought to be the first attempt at implementing ultralow background interference with the participation of multiple pathological parameters in NIR-II fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
In recent years, owing to unsatisfactory clinical imaging clarity and depths in the living body for early diagnosis and prognosis, novel imaging modalities with high bioimaging performance have been actively explored. The remarkable headway made in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) has promoted the development of biomedical imaging significantly. NIR-II fluorescence imaging possesses a number of merits which prevail over the traditional and NIR-I (400-900 nm) imaging modalities in fundamental research, such as reduced photon scattering, as well as auto-fluorescence and improved penetration depth. Functional probes for instant and precise feedback of in vivo information are at the core of this modality for superb imaging. Herein, we review the recently developed fluorophores including carbon nanotubes, organic small molecules, quantum dots, conjugated polymers and rare-earth-doped materials to present superior and multifunctionality of biomedical imaging in the NIR-II regions (1000-1700 nm).
