Abstract
The continuous or real-time tracking of biological processes using biocompatible contrast agents over a certain period of time is vital for precise diagnosis and treatment, such as monitoring tissue regeneration after stem cell transplantation, understanding the genesis, development, invasion and metastasis of cancer and so on. The rationally designed nanoparticles, including aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dots, inorganic quantum dots (QDs), nanodiamonds, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), and semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs), have been explored to meet this urgent need. In this review, the development and application of these nanoparticle-based cell trackers for a variety of imaging technologies, including fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic particle imaging, positron emission tomography and single photon emission computing tomography are discussed in detail. Moreover, the further therapeutic treatments using multi-functional trackers endowed with photodynamic and photothermal modalities are also introduced to provide a comprehensive perspective in this promising research field.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is an aggressive tumor of mesenchymal origin that is more likely to spread to the lung than others, with a major impact on patients' prognosis. The optimal imaging method that can reliably detect or exclude pulmonary metastases from osteosarcoma is still scarce. Herein, two homologous types of fluorescent probes CH1055-PEG-PT and CH1055-PEG-Affibody, which show highly promising results for targeting imaging of osteosarcoma and its lung metastasis, respectively, are designed and synthesized. It is found that the NIR-II imaging quality of CH1055-PEG-PT is far superior to that of computed tomography for the early in vivo 143B tumor imaging, and this probe-guided surgery for accurate resection of 143B tumor is further performed. The high-resolution visualization of primary and micrometastatic lung lesions of osteosarcoma by using CH1055-PEG-Affibody is also demonstrated. Therefore, the attractive imaging properties of CH1055-PEG-PT and CH1055-PEG-Affibody, including high levels of uptakes, and high spatial and temporal resolution, open up opportunities for molecular imaging and clinical translation of osteosarcoma and its lung metastasis in the unique second near-infrared window.

Abstract
Precise design of fluorescent molecules with desired properties has enabled the rapid development of many research fields. Among the different types of optically active materials, luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) have attracted significant interest over the past two decades. The negligible luminescence of AIEgens as a molecular species and high brightness in aggregate states distinguish them from conventional fluorescent dyes, which has galvanized efforts to bring AIEgens to a wide array of multidisciplinary applications. Herein, the useful principles and emerging structure-property relationships for precise molecular design toward AIEgens with desirable properties using concrete examples are revealed. The cutting-edge applications of AIEgens and their excellent performance in enabling new research directions in biomedical theranostics, optoelectronic devices, stimuli-responsive smart materials, and visualization of physical processes are also highlighted.

Abstract
The introduction of photonic technologies into biodetection fields is in high demand to accelerate understanding vital movements at the molecular level. Great difficulty lies in the fact that the short penetration of photons in biotissues limits the practical applications of in vivo biodetection. Herein, we overcome this long-standing technical challenge through first introducing a new synergistic photonic-plasmonic resonator in second near-infrared window to realize efficient light trapping in this "bio-transparent zone". The well-match of photonic and plasmonic resonances in the same wavelength significantly increases the light-matter interplay activity, with 60% increase of quality factors, thus allowing us to pioneeringly implement the sensitive photoelectrochemical in vivo biodetection of macrophage cells in the tail vein of a living mouse. These synergistic photonic-plasmonic resonators promise bridges between vital photonic phenomena and practical biodetections or clinical applications.

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
Nanomaterials are indispensable tools for imaging and therapy. Organic dots with aggregation-induced emission characteristics (AIE dots) have emerged as a new nanolight for their ultra-brightness, excellent photostability and biocompatibility. Due to the rotor structures, most of the reported AIE luminogens show short wavelength absorption and emission, an intrinsic disadvantage for their biomedical applications. Recently, more exciting examples reveal that properly designed AIE dots can easily reach NIR emission, excitable by near-infrared (NIR) light via multiphoton processes, which also have great potentials in photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and phototherapy. In this review, we summarize the recent advances of AIE nanomaterials for NIR fluorescence imaging, PAI, image-guided photodynamic and photothermal therapy (PDT and PTT). We highlight various strategies to improve the energy conversion efficiency of AIE dots through controlling different energy decay pathways. With this review, we hope to encourage more precise design of organic nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

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
Organic fluorophores for stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy usually suffer from quenched emission in the aggregate state and inferior photostability, which largely limit their application in real-time, in situ, and long-term imaging at an ultrahigh resolution. Herein, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen of DP-TBT with bright emission in solid state (photoluminescence quantum yields = 25%) and excellent photostability was designed to meet the requirements in STED nanoscopy. In addition to its excellent fluorescence properties, DP-TBT could also easily form self-assembling helixes and finally be well-visualized by super-resolution STED nanoscopy. The observations showed that helical fibers of DP-TBT as dashed lines had a much decreased fiber width with also a full width at half-maximum value of only 178 nm, which is ∼6 times higher than solid lines obtained by confocal microscopy (1154 nm). The STED nanoscopic data were also used to reconstruct 3D images of assembled helixes. Finally, by long-term tracking and dynamic monitoring, the formation and growth of helical fibers by DP-TBT in self-assembly processes were successfully obtained. These findings imply that highly emissive AIEgens with good photostability are highly suitable for real-time, in situ, and dynamic imaging at super-resolution using STED nanoscopy.

Abstract
The dynamic behavior of a macroscopic adhered hydrogel stabilized through controllable dynamic covalent interactions is reported. These interactions, involving the cross-linked formation of a hydrogel through reaction of a diacylhydrazine precursor with a tetraformyl partner, increase as a function of time. By using a contact time of 24 h and different compounds with recognized aggregation-induced emission features (AIEgens), it proves possible to create six laminated acylhydrazone hydrogels displaying different fluorescent colors. Blocks of these hydrogels are then adhered into a structure resembling a Rubik's Cube, a trademark of Rubik's Brand Limited, (RC) and allowed to anneal for 1 h. This produces a 3 × 3 × 3 block (RC) wherein the individual fluorescent gel blocks are loosely adhered to one another. As a consequence, the 1 × 3 × 3 layers making up the RC can be rotated either horizontally or vertically to produce new patterns. Ex situ modification of the RC or application of a chemical stimulus can be used to produce new color arrangements. The present RC structure highlights how the temporal features, strong versus weak adhesion, may be exploited to create smart macroscopic structures.

Abstract
Small-molecule based multifunctional probes play significant roles in biomedical science and possess high clinical translational ability. However, the preparation of these promising probes without complicated synthetic procedures remains a challenging task. Herein, we rationally designed a high-performance DD-A-DD scaffold molecular dye (SYL) with an intrinsic multifunctional ability and then incorporated it into DSPE-mPEG5000 to facilely construct biocompatible NIR-II fluorescent and photoacoustic (PA) dual-modal theranostic nanoprobes (SYL NPs) (∼120 nm). In vivo studies confirmed that SYL NPs exhibited bright NIR-II fluorescence and PA signals in the tumor region with a promising signal to background ratio (S/B). Meanwhile, SYL NPs demonstrated significantly inhibited tumor growth under laser irradiation with no noticeable side effects. These promising results highlighted SYL NPs as a potential theranostic platform for cancer diagnosis (NIR-II region) and therapy.

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.

Theranostics 2019; 9:5706-5719. [PMID: 31534513 PMCID: PMC6735390 DOI: 10.7150/thno.31332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 121] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2018] [Accepted: 06/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Cerebrovascular diseases, together with malignancies, still pose a huge threat to human health nowadays. With the advantages of its high spatial resolution and large penetration depth, fluorescence bioimaging in the second near-infrared spectral region (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) and its related imaging-guided therapy based on biocompatible fluorescence dyes have become a promising theranostics method. Methods: The biocompatibility of IR-820 we used in NIR-II fluorescence bioimaging was verified by long-term observation. The model of the mouse with a cranial window, the mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model of bladder tumor were established. NIR-II fluorescence cerebrovascular functional imaging was carried out by IR-820 assisted NIR-II fluorescence microscopy. Bladder tumor was treated by NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal therapy. Results: We have found that IR-820 has considerable NIR-II fluorescence intensity, and shows increased brightness in serum than in water. Herein, we achieved real time and in vivo cerebrovascular functional imaging of mice with high spatial resolution and large penetration depth, based on IR-820 assisted NIR-II fluorescence microscopy. In addition, IR-820 was successfully employed for NIR-II fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy of tumor in vivo, and the subcutaneous tumors were inhibited obviously or eradicated completely. Conclusion: Due to the considerable fluorescence intensity in NIR-II spectral region and the good photothermal effect, biocompatible and excretable IR-820 holds great potentials for functional angiography and cancer theranostics in clinical practice.

Abstract
Tissue is translucent to shortwave infrared (SWIR) light, rendering optical imaging superior in this region. However, the widespread use of optical SWIR imaging has been limited, in part, by the lack of bright, biocompatible contrast agents that absorb and emit light above 1000 nm. J-Aggregation offers a means to transform stable, near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores into red-shifted SWIR contrast agents. Here we demonstrate that J-aggregates of NIR fluorophore IR-140 can be prepared inside hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) to result in nanomaterials that absorb and emit SWIR light. The J-aggregates inside PEGylated HMSNs are stable for multiple weeks in buffer and enable high resolution imaging in vivo with 980 nm excitation.

Abstract
Despite decades of efforts, non-invasive sensitive detection of small malignant brain tumors still remains challenging. Here we report a dual-modality 124I-labeled gold nanostar (124I-GNS) probe for sensitive brain tumor imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and subcellular tracking with two-photon photoluminescence (TPL) and electron microscopy (EM). Experiment results showed that the developed nanoprobe has potential to reach sub-millimeter intracranial brain tumor detection using PET scan, which is superior to any currently available non-invasive imaging modality. Microscopic examination using TPL and EM further confirmed that GNS nanoparticles permeated the brain tumor leaky vasculature and accumulated inside brain tumor cells following systemic administration. Selective brain tumor targeting by enhanced permeability and retention effect and ultrasensitive imaging render 124I-GNS nanoprobe promise for future brain tumor-related preclinical and translational applications.

Abstract
Fluorescence-guided cytoreductive surgery is one of the most promising approaches for facile elimination of tumors in situ, thereby improving prognosis. Reported herein is a simple strategy to construct a novel chainlike NIR-II nanoprobe (APP-Ag2 S-RGD) by self-assembly of an amphiphilic peptide (APP) into a nanochain with subsequent chemical crosslinking of NIR-II Ag2 S QDs and the tumor-targeting RGD peptide. This probe exhibits higher capability for cancer cell detection compared with that of RGD-functionalized Ag2 S QDs (Ag2 S-RGD) at the same concentration. Upon intraperitoneal injection, superior tumor-to-normal tissue signal ratio is achieved and non-vascularized tiny tumor metastatic foci as small as about 0.2 mm in diameter could be facilely eliminated under NIR-II fluorescent imaging guidance. These results clearly indicate the potential of this probe for fluorescence-guided tumor staging, preoperative diagnosis, and intraoperative navigation.

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
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
Exogenous contrast-agent-assisted NIR-II optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy imaging (ORPAMI) holds promise to decipher wide-field 3D biological structures with deep penetration, large signal-to-background ratio (SBR), and high maximum imaging depth to depth resolution ratio. Herein, NIR-II conjugated polymer nanoparticle (CP NP) assisted ORPAMI is reported for pinpointing cerebral and tumor vasculatures. The CP NPs exhibit a large extinction coefficient of 48.1 L g-1 at the absorption maximum of 1161 nm, with an ultrahigh PA sensitivity up to 2 µg mL-1 . 3D ORPAMI of wide-field mice ear allows clear visualization of regular vasculatures with a resolution of 19.2 µm and an SBR of 29.3 dB at the maximal imaging depth of 539 µm. The margin of ear tumor composed of torsional dense vessels among surrounding normal regular vessels can be clearly delineated via 3D angiography. In addition, 3D whole-cortex cerebral vasculatures with large imaging area (48 mm2 ), good resolution (25.4 µm), and high SBR (22.3 dB) at a depth up to 1001 µm are clearly resolved through the intact skull. These results are superior to the recently reported 3D NIR-II fluorescence confocal vascular imaging, which opens up new opportunities for NIR-II CP-NP-assisted ORPAMI in various biomedical applications.

Gadolinium-Chelated Conjugated Polymer-Based Nanotheranostics for Photoacoustic/Magnetic Resonance/NIR-II Fluorescence Imaging-Guided Cancer Photothermal Therapy. Am J Cancer Res 2019; 9:4168-4181.

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
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
Fluorophores with donor-acceptor-donor groups with the emission spanning the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) have recently received great attention for biomedical application. Yet, the mechanism underlying the equilibrium between fluorescence (radiative decay) and photothermal effect (non-radiative decay) of these fluorophores remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that a lipophilic NIR-II fluorophore, BPBBT, possesses both twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. Human serum albumin (HSA) binds to BPBBT, which changes the planarity of the fluorophore and restricts its intramolecular rotation. The binding results in alteration to the equilibrium between AIE and TICT state of BPBBT, tailoring its fluorescence and photothermal efficiency. Under the guidance of intraoperative NIR-II fluorescence image, the prepared HSA-bound BPBBT nanoparticles delineate primary orthotopic mouse colon tumor and metastatic lesions with dimensions as small as 0.5 mm × 0.3 mm, and offer photothermal ablation therapy with optimized timing, dosing and area of the laser irradiation.

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
The treatment of malignant glioblastoma is a huge challenge due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier. Herein, we report the treatment of orthotopic malignant glioblastoma with imaging guided second near-infrared (NIR-II) photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy by using drug-loaded ultra-small Cu2-xSe theranostic nanoparticles (NPs). Ultra-small Cu2-xSe NPs possess a strong absorbance in the NIR-II window, and their absorption at 1064 nm is around 2 times that at 808 nm. Their strong NIR-II absorbance and the deeper-tissue penetration of NIR-II light ensure excellent photodynamic therapy performance under irradiation with a 1064 nm laser. We also demonstrate that ultra-small Cu2-xSe NPs can produce vast amounts of reactive oxygen species via electron transfer (for ˙OH generation) and energy transfer (for 1O2 generation) mechanisms under irradiation. In addition, these NPs can be effectively and locally transported into orthotopic malignant glioblastoma with the assistance of focused ultrasound. The deposited Cu2-xSe NPs can be used for photoacoustic imaging to guide the combined NIR-II photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. The results show that the tumor growth can be significantly suppressed. This work demonstrates the great potential of drug-loaded ultra-small Cu2-xSe NPs as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of orthotopic malignant glioblastoma.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window (especially at 1064 nm) has the benefits of low background signal, high spatial resolution and deep tissue penetration. Here we report a semiconducting polymer nanoparticle (PDPPTBZ NP) and demonstrate its potential as a contrast agent for PA imaging of orthotopic brain tumors, using a 1064 nm pulsed laser as a light source. PDPPTBZ NPs have maximum absorption at 1064 nm with a mass extinction coefficient of 43 mL mg-1 cm-1, which is the highest value reported so far in this region. The high photothermal conversion efficiency (67%) and near non-fluorescence impart PDPPTBZ NPs with excellent PA properties. We used PDPPTBZ NP-containing agar gel phantoms even at a low concentration (50 μg mL-1) to successfully image to a depth of 4 cm (of chicken-breast tissue), with an ultralow power fluence (4 mJ cm-2). Furthermore, we could clearly visualize a glioma tumor in a mouse at a depth of 3.8 mm below the skull. This study demonstrates that PDPPTBZ NPs display great potential as a NIR-II PA contrast agent for high quality deep tissue imaging.

Abstract
Shortwave infrared (SWIR) photoluminescence has received intense interest in many fields in recent years thanks to the advantages of its wide wavelength range and high tissue imaging ability and it is invisible to the naked eye. However, achieving orthogonal SWIR emission still remains a challenge. In the present study, synthesized NaErF4@NaLuF4 (Er@Lu) and NaYF4:Nd@NaLuF4 (Y:Nd@Lu) nanoparticles emitted atom-like SWIR emission, and the separation distance between the SWIR emission was beyond 50 nm, which permitted orthogonal SWIR signal acquirement with optical filters. Furthermore, an invisible logical code was designed by manipulating the orthogonal SWIR emission of the lanthanide fluoride nanoparticles, and was further operated by basic logical operations and applied in information encryption and anti-counterfeit fields. In addition, the emission between these two hydrophilic nanoparticles could also be separated in vivo without signal interference and the orthogonal SWIR imaging mode was achieved, which was demonstrated in a bio-imaging experiment in vivo. This demonstration extended the orthogonal SWIR emission capacity by controlling the orthogonal emission, opening new opportunities in the fields of data security, disease diagnosis and non-interference label in vivo.

Abstract
A novel near-infrared fluorescent light-up probe with a tumor-homing pentapeptide, CREKA (Cys-Arg-Glu-Lys-Ala), specifically binds to fibrin-fibronectin complexes was rationally designed and developed for biomedical imaging. Its superior practical applications in tumor imaging and drug-induced liver injury detection are well demonstrated for the first time.
