Abstract
The potential for leakage of liquid electrolytes from magnesium (Mg) batteries represents a large hurdle to future application. Despite this, there are no efficient sensing technologies to detect the leakage of liquid electrolytes. Here, we developed a sensor using laccaic acid (L-AIEgen), a naturally occurring aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgens) isolated from the beetle Laccifer lacca. L-AIEgen showed good selectivity and sensitivity for Mg2+, a universal component of electrolytes in Mg batteries. Using L-AIEgen, we then produced a smart film (L-AIE-F) that was able to sense leakage of electrolytes from Mg batteries. L-AIE-F showed a strong "turn-on" AIE-active fluorescence at the leakage point of electrolyte from model Mg batteries. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that AIE technology has been used to sense the leakage of electrolytes.

Abstract
The development of organic solid-state luminescent materials, especially those sensitive to aggregation microenvironment, is critical for their applications in devices such as pressure-sensitive elements, sensors, and photoelectric devices. However, it still faces certain challenges and a deep understanding of the corresponding internal mechanisms is required. Here, we put forward an unconventional strategy to explore the pressure-induced evolution of the aggregation microenvironment, involving changes in molecular conformation, stacking mode, and intermolecular interaction, by monitoring the emission under multiple excitation channels based on a luminogen with aggregation-induced emission characteristics of di(p-methoxylphenyl)dibenzofulvene. Under three excitation wavelengths, the distinct emission behaviors have been interestingly observed to reveal the pressure-induced structural evolution, well consistent with the results from ultraviolet-visible absorption, high-pressure angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction, and infrared studies, which have rarely been reported before. This finding provides important insights into the design of organic solid luminescent materials and greatly promotes the development of stimulus-responsive luminescent materials.

Abstract
Bacterial endophthalmitis (BE) is an acute eye infection and potentially irreversible blinding ocular disease. The empirical intravitreous injection of antibiotic is the primary treatment once diagnosed as BE. However, the overuse of antibiotic contributes to the drug resistance of pathogens and the retinal toxicity of antibiotic limits its application in clinic. Herein, a cationic aggregation-induced emission luminogens named with triphenylamine thiophen pyridinium (TTPy) is reported for photodynamic treatment of BE. TTPy can selectively discriminate and kill bacteria efficiently over normal ocular cells. More importantly, TTPy shows excellent antibacterial ability in BE rat models infected by Staphylococcus aureus. Meanwhile, the bacterial killing behavior triggered by TTPy induces innate immune response at an early stage of infection, limiting subsequent robust inflammation and protecting retina from bacterial toxins and inflammation-induced bystander damage. In addition, TTPy performs better antibacterial ability than commercially used Rose Bengal, suggesting its excellent capability of vision salvage in acute BE. This study exhibits an efficient photodynamic antibacterial treatment to BE, which induces an early intraocular immune response and saves useful vision, endowing TTPy a promising potential for clinical application of ocular infections.

Abstract
Leveraging complex coacervation of a polycation and a bivalent anion with aggregation-induced emission characteristics, we accomplish eight basic logic operations with environmental stimuli as inputs, producing Boolean-like fluorescence intensity or turbidity 'outputs' with contrast higher than one order of magnitude. Storage of information of a fluorescent pattern and thermo-sensor applications are also demonstrated.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials are attractive for the fabrication of high efficiency organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by harnessing "hot excitons" from the high-lying triplet exciton states (Tn, n ≥ 2) and high photoluminescence (PL) quantum efficiency in solid films. However, the electroluminescence (EL) efficiency of most AIE-based OLEDs does not meet our expectation due to some unrevealed exciton loss processes. Herein, we further enhance the efficiency of blue AIE-based OLEDs, and find experimentally and theoretically that the serious exciton loss is caused by the quenching of radiative singlet excitons and long-lived triplet excitons [singlet-triplet annihilation (STA)]. In order to suppress the STA process, 1-(2,5-dimethyl-4-(1-pyrenyl)phenyl)pyrene (DMPPP) with triplet-triplet annihilation up-conversion was doped in two AIE emitters to reduce the triplet excitons on the lowest triplet excited state (T1) of AIE molecules. It can be seen that the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the resulting blue OLEDs was enhanced to 11.8% with CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.07) and a negligible efficiency roll-off, realizing the efficiency breakthrough of deep-blue AIE-based OLEDs. This work establishes a physical insight in revealing the exciton loss processes and the fabrication of high-performance AIE-based OLEDs.

BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:695.

Abstract
In the present work, we described the preparation and characterization of the micelles based on amphiphilic poly(ε-caprolactone-block-ethylene glycol) block copolymer (PCL-b-PEG) loaded with non-symmetric [Pt(C^N*N'^C')] complex (Pt1) (where C^N*N'^C': 6-(phenyl(6-(thiophene-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl)amino)-2-(tyophene-2-yl)nicotinate). The obtained nanospecies displayed the ignition of near-infrared (NIR) phosphorescence upon an increase in the content of the platinum complexes in the micelles, which acted as the major emission component at 12 wt.% of Pt1. Emergence of the NIR band at 780 nm was also accompanied by a 3-fold growth of the quantum yield and an increase in the two-photon absorption cross-section that reached the value of 450 GM. Both effects are believed to be the result of progressive platinum complex aggregation inside hydrophobic poly(caprolactone) cores of block copolymer micelles, which has been ascribed to aggregation induced emission (AIE). The resulting phosphorescent (Pt1@PCL-b-PEG) micelles demonstrated pronounced sensitivity towards molecular oxygen, the key intracellular bioanalyte. The detailed photophysical analysis of the AIE phenomena revealed that the NIR emission most probably occurred due to the excimeric excited state of the 3MMLCT character. Evaluation of the Pt1@PCL-b-PEG efficacy as a lifetime intracellular oxygen biosensor carried out in CHO-K1 live cells demonstrated the linear response of the probe emission lifetime towards this analyte accompanied by a pronounced influence of serum albumin on the lifetime response. Nevertheless, Pt1@PCL-b-PEG can serve as a semi-quantitative lifetime oxygen nanosensor. The key result of this study consists of the demonstration of an alternative approach for the preparation of NIR biosensors by taking advantage of in situ generation of NIR emission due to the nanoconfined aggregation of Pt (II) complexes inside the micellar nanocarriers.

Abstract
Photo-responsive supramolecular systems offer intriguing functional aspects which have led to their applications in diverse fields such as optoelectronics and biomedicine. However, the modulation of the luminescence output in a spatiotemporal fashion by photo-controlled transformation still remains a challenging task. Herein, we report the controlled regulation of the emission color of supramolecular assemblies of amphiphilic cyanostilbenes (CSs) in water through in situ photomodulation employing UV and sunlight. Due to their aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features, the CS chromophores in the supramolecular assemblies exhibited bright greenish-yellow emission. Photoirradiation predominantly led to the formation of a cyclized product exhibiting aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) features and having efficient cyan-blue emission in water but severely quenched emission in the solid state. Hence, starting from a unicomponent scaffold, photomodulation provided tunable emission ranging from greenish-yellow to cyan-blue including white light in water. Furthermore, using the contrasting AIE and ACQ behavior of the components in the photoirradiated mixtures, we were able to design rewritable fluorescent inks and encryption in solid films indicating the practical utility of these systems.

Abstract
Precision medicine requires highly sensitive and specific diagnostic strategies with high spatiotemporal resolution. Accurate detection and monitoring of endogenously generated biomarkers at the very early disease stage is of extensive importance for precise diagnosis and treatment. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have emerged as a new type of excellent optical agents, which show great promise for numerous biomedical applications. In this review, we highlight the recent advances of AIE-based probes for detecting reactive species (including reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), reactive sulfur species (RSS), and reactive carbonyl species (RCS)) and related biomedical applications. The molecular design strategies for increasing the sensitivity, tuning the response wavelength, and realizing afterglow imaging are summarized, and theranostic applications in reactive species-related major diseases such as cancer, inflammation, and vascular diseases are reviewed. The challenges and outlooks for the reactive species-activatable AIE systems for disease diagnostics and therapeutics are also discussed. This review aims to offer guidance for designing AIE-based specifically activatable optical agents for biomedical applications, as well as providing a comprehensive understanding about the structure-property application relationships. We hope it will inspire more interesting researches about reactive species-activatable probes and advance clinical translations.

Abstract
In this study, cetyl 4-formylbenzoate alkyl and 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy) benzophenonesalicylaldazide modified biotinylated chitosan (CS-BT-HBS-CB) featured with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic, active tumor-targeting ability and pH-responsive drug release property was designed and synthesized. The polymer was fabricated by introducing hydrophobic segment, tumor targeting ligand, acid-sensitive bond and AIE fluorophore to the backbone of chitosan. Due to its amphiphilicity, the polymer could self-assemble into micelles and encapsulate paclitaxel (PTX) to form PTX-loaded CS-BT-HBS-CB micelles. The mean size of the micelles was 167 nm, which was beneficial to the EPR effect. Moreover, with the help of above functional groups, the micelles exhibited excellent AIE effect, triggered drug release behavior by acidic condition, selective internalization by MCF-7 cells and excellent cellular imaging capability. In vivo studies revealed that the PTX-loaded CS-BT-HBS-CB micelles could enhance the antitumor efficacy with low systemic toxicity. This micellar system would be a potential candidate for cancer therapy and bioimaging.

Abstract
Real-time intraoperative guidance is essential during various surgical treatment of many diseases. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials have shown great potential for guiding surgeons during complex interventions, with the merits of deep tissue penetration, high quantum yield, high molar absorptivity, low background, good targeting ability and excellent photostability. Herein, we provided insights to design efficient AIE materials regarding three key parameters, i.e., deep-tissue penetration ability, high brightness of AIE luminogens (AIEgens), and precise tumor/other pathology nidus targeting strategies, for realizing better application of fluorescence image-guided surgery. Representative interdisciplinary achievements were outlined for the demonstration of this emerging field. Challenges and future opportunities of AIE materials were briefly discussed. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive view of AIE materials for intraoperative guidance for researchers and surgeons, and to inspire more further correlational studies in the new frontiers of image-guided surgery.

Abstract
As a non-invasive visualization technique, photoluminescence imaging (PLI) has found its huge value in many biological applications associated with intracellular process monitoring and early and accurate diagnosis of diseases. PLI can also be combined with therapeutics to build imaging-guided theragnostic platforms for achieving early and precise treatment of diseases. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a quintessential phototheranostics technology has gained great benefits from the combination with PLI. Recently, aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active materials have emerged as one of the most promising bioimaging and phototheranostic agents. Most of AIEgens, however, need to be chemically engineered to form versatile nanocomposites with improved their photophysical property, photochemical activity, biocompatibility, etc. In this review, we focus on three categories of AIE-active nanocomposites and highlight their application progresses in the intracellular biological process monitoring and PLI-guided PDT. We hope this review can guide further development of AIE-active nanocomposites and promote their practical applications for monitoring intracellular biological processes and imaging-guided PDT.

Abstract
The increasing resistance among fungi to antimicrobials are posing global threats to health. Early treatment with appropriate antifungal drugs guided by the antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) can dramatically reduce the mortality of severe fungal infections. However, the long test time (24-48 h) of the standard AFSTs cannot provide timely results due to the slow growth of the pathogen. Herein, we report a new AFST that is independent of growth rate analysis using a luminogen with aggregation-induced emission characteristics (AIEgen) named DMASP. DMASP is a water-soluble small-molecule probe that can readily penetrate the dense fungal cell wall. Based on its mitochondria-targeting ability and AIE characteristics, fungal activity can be dynamically indicated via real-time fluorescence monitoring. This allows fungal susceptibility to various antimicrobials to be assessed within 12 h in a wash-free, one-step manner. This method may serve as a promising tool to rapidly detect possible drug-resistant fungal strain and guide the precise use of antimicrobial against fungal diseases.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) possess enhanced fluorescence in highly aggregated states, thus enabling AIEgens as a promising module for highly emissive fluorescence biomaterials. So far, AIEgens-based nanomaterials and their hybrids have been reported for biomedical applications. Benefiting from the intrinsic biocompatibility and biofunction-editing properties of peptides, peptide-AIEgens hybrid biomaterials reveal unlimited possibilities including target capacity, specificity, stimuli-responsiveness, self-assembly, controllable structural transformation, etc.. In the last two decades, peptide-AIEgens hybrid nanomaterials with a unique design concept in aggregated states have achieved various biomedical applications such as biosensing, bioimaging, imaging-guided surgery, drug delivery and therapy. More recently, programmable design of peptide-AIEgens for in situ self-assembly provides a unique strategy for constructing intelligent entities with defined biological functions. In this review, we summarize the basic design principle of programmable peptide-AIEgens, structure-effect relationship and their unusual biomedical effects. Finally, an outlook and perspective toward future challenges and developments of peptide-AIEgens nanomaterials are concluded.

Herein, we rationally design and facilely synthesized a photoactivatable fluorescent probe bearing 1,4-dihydropyridine moiety with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) tendency, namely TPA-DHPy, which can rapidly transform into its pyridine counterpart TPA-Py via photo-oxidative dehydrogenation showing strong polarity sensitivity and largely red-shifted emission. TPA-DHPy- and TPA-Py-based type I/type II photosensitization is able to effectively generate reactive oxygen species to induce in situ oxidative stress under white light irradiation. TPA-DHPy can be taken up by cancer cells, and gradually light up lipid droplets (LDs) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during photoactivatable process, as well as in situ monitoring difference and alteration of their microenvironment upon oxidative stress by means of multi-color fluorescence imaging in lambda mode. Furthermore, the in situ generated TPA-Py is capable of further destroying the functions of LDs and ER with prolonging the irradiation time, and remarkably inhibiting tumor growth under white light irradiation by the way of photodynamic therapy. This study thus offers useful insights into designing a new generation of theranostic agents towards imaging-guided precise cancer therapy.

Abstract
Environmental monitoring and personal protection are critical for preventing and for protecting human health during all infectious disease outbreaks (including COVID-19). Fluorescent probes combining sensing, imaging and therapy functions, could not only afford direct visualizing existence of biotargets and monitoring their dynamic information, but also provide therapeutic functions for killing various bacteria or viruses. Luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) could be well suited for above requirements because of their typical photophysical properties and therapeutic functions. Integration of these molecules with fibers or textiles is of great interest for developing flexible devices and wearable systems. In this review, we mainly focus on how fibers and AIEgens to be combined for health protection based on the latest advances in biosensing and bioprotection. We first discuss the construction of fibrous sensors for visualization of biomolecules. Next recent advances in therapeutic fabrics for individual protection are introduced. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities for "AIE + Fiber" in sensing and therapeutic applications are presented.

Abstract
Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are an emerging technology to collect and channel light from a large absorption area into a smaller one. They are a complementary technology for traditional solar photovoltaics (PV), particularly suitable for application in urban or indoor environments where their custom colors and form factors, and performance under diffuse light conditions may be advantageous. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has emerged as a valuable approach to overcome some of the intrinsic limitations of conventional single lumophore LSCs, such as reabsorption or reduced quantum efficiency. This review outlines the potential of FRET to boost LSC performance, using highlights from the literature to illustrate the key criteria that must be considered when designing an FRET-LSC, including both the photophysical requirements of the FRET lumophores and their interaction with the host material. Based on these criteria, a list of design guidelines intended to aid researchers when they approach the design of a new FRET-LSC system is presented. By highlighting the unanswered questions in this field, the authors aim to demonstrate the potential of FRET-LSCs for both conventional solar-harvesting and emerging LSC-inspired technologies and hope to encourage participation from a diverse researcher base to address this exciting challenge.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) and lysosomes, as two important subcellular organelles, play specific and indispensable roles in various cellular processes. The development of efficient LD- and lysosome-specific fluorescent bio-probes is of great importance. However, current commercial lipid droplet- (LD) and lysosome-specific fluorescent specific bio-probes often suffer from the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, short absorption and emission wavelengths, poor photostability and low specificity. Herein, a typical ACQ luminogen BODIPY was directly conjugated to strong electron donating triarylamine units at its α-positions, giving near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent materials TPAB and 2TPAB with aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Both TPAB and 2TPAB nanoparticles were obtained by self-assembly, and showed NIR emissions, large Stokes shifts, good photostability and two-photon absorption. These nanoparticles presented remarkable bioimaging performances and were shown to specifically localize in LDs or lysosomes, respectively, depending on the number of triarylamine units attached. They have been successfully used to detect endogenous LD overproduction, and monitor abnormal activities of LDs/lysosomes, as well as real-time track the lipophagy process in cells. Their far NIR emission and two-photon excitation further supported their promising bioimaging application for lipid droplet tracking in liver tissue and live zebrafish larvae. Our work here enriches BODIPY based NIR AIE dyes and provides organelle specific bio-probes which are superior to currently used commercial ones.

Abstract
Peptide self-assemblies show intriguing and tunable physicochemical properties, and thus have been attracting increasing interest over the last two decades. However, the micro/nano-scale dimensions of the self-assemblies severely restrict their extensive applications. Inspired by nature, to genuinely realize the practical utilization of the bio-organic super-architectures, it is beneficial to further organize the peptide self-assemblies to integrate the properties of the individual supermolecules and fabricate higher-level organizations for smart functional devices. Therefore, cumulative studies have been reported on peptide microfabrication giving rise to diverse properties. This review summarizes the recent development of the microfabrication of peptide self-assemblies, discussing each methodology along with the diverse properties and practical applications of the engineered peptide large-scale, highly-ordered organizations. Finally, the current limitations of the state-of-the-art microfabrication strategies are critically assessed and alternative solutions are suggested.

Abstract
Developing a small molecular photosensitizer to achieve multimodal phototherapy has recently garnered attention as a promising strategy for efficient cancer treatment. However, synthesis of a multifunctional small molecular photosensitizer has remained challenging. Here we report an aggregation-induced-emission (AIE)-featured luminogen (AIEgen) TPA-BTZ decorated with long and branched alkyl chains. TPA-BTZ shows long-wavelength emission at ca. 800 nm in the NIR-I region. Moreover, upon laser irradiation, TPA-BTZ could produce O2˙- and 1O2via both type I and type II mechanisms for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). The propeller-like structure triphenylamine (TPA) rotators not only endow TPA-BTZ with AIE characteristics but also facilitate heat generation by intramolecular rotation for photothermal therapy (PTT). More importantly, long and branched alkyl chains can create intermolecular spatial isolation in the fabricated TPA-BTZ@PEG2000 nanoparticles (NPs) to allow sufficient intramolecular motion for photothermal conversion. Due to these unique features, in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrate that the TPA-BTZ@PEG2000 NPs exhibited long-term NIR-imaging ability, superior tumoricidal activity, and suppressed tumor growth. This research provides new insights for developing new AIEgens for NIR imaging-guided multimodal phototherapy.

Abstract
Organic aggregates currently play a prominent role, mainly for their unique optoelectronic properties in the aggregated state. Such properties can be related to the aggregates’ structure and the molecular packing mode. In the literature, we have well-established models of H and J aggregates defined based on the molecular exciton model. However, unconventional aggregates, the most unrecognized forms, have been generating interest among researchers recently. Within unconventional aggregation, aggregation-induced emission systems (AIE) are considered. In the present work, we discuss the effect of the forming of unconventional aggregation together with the change in dye concentration on the surface energy characteristics of the materials. All materials were prepared as hybrid biocompatible thin films where the matrix is TiO2 or TiO2/carbon nanowalls (CNWs) with the incorporated dye in the form of 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO). Using the time-resolved emission spectra and the determination of surface parameters from contact angle measurements, we indicated the correlation between the changes in such parameters and the concentration of DFO dye in two types of TiO2 and TiO2/CNW structures. To examine the propensity of DFO for aggregation, the internal energy of the dye was assessed in several aggregate structures using Quantum chemistry calculations. The results emphasize that DFO is an attractive structure in the design of new fluorophores due to its low molecular weight, the presence of a nitrogen atom that provides good coordination properties, and the ability to form hydrogen bonds. Our studies show that when using suitable matrices, i.e., rigid media, it forms the preferred forms of aggregates in the excited state, characterized by high emission efficiency in the band maximum of around 550 nm.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a novel class of porous crystalline organic materials with organic small molecule units connected by strong covalent bonds and extending in two- or three-dimension in an ordered mode. The tunability, porosity, and crystallinity have endowed covalent organic frameworks the capability of multi-faceted functionality. Introduction of fluorophores into their backbones or side-chains creates emissive covalent organic frameworks. Compared with common fluorescent organic solid materials, COFs possess several intrinsic advantages being as a type of irreplaceable fluorescence materials mainly because its highly developed pore structures can accommodate various types of guest analytes by specific or non-specific chemical bonding and non-bonding interaction. Developments in fluorescent COFs have provided opportunities to enhance sensing performance. Moreover, due to its inherent rigidified structures and fixed conformations, the intramolecular rotation, vibration, and motion occurred in common organic small molecules, and organic solid systems can be greatly inhibited. This inhibition decreases the decay of excited-state energy as heat and blocks the non-radiative quenching channel. Thus, fluorescent COFs can be designed, synthesized, and precisely tuned to exhibit optimal luminescence properties in comparison with common homogeneous dissolved organic small molecule dyes and can even compete with the currently mainstream organic solid semiconductor-based luminescence materials. This mini-review discusses the major design principle and the state-of-the-art paragon examples of fluorescent COFs and their typical applications in the detection and monitoring of some key explosive chemicals by fluorescence analysis. The challenges and the future direction of fluorescent COFs are also covered in detail in the concluding section.

Abstract
Organic radical emitters have received significant attention as a new route to efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The electronic structure of radical emitters allows bypassing the triplet harvesting issue in current OLED devices. However, the nature of doublet excited states remains elusive due to the complex nature of emissive layers. To date, the computational efforts have treated radical carrying materials as isolated entities in the gas phase. However, OLED materials are applied as thin solid films where intermolecular interactions significantly impact optoelectronic properties of the devices. Here, we combine molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations to evaluate the effect of emitter-host interactions on the performance of radical-based emissive layers. Results demonstrate that intermolecular interactions remarkably modulate the electronic properties of the radicals in the thin solid films. The doublet excitons of isolated emitters demonstrate a hybrid character of charge-transfer (CT) and local-excitation (LE), while the emitter-host clusters present a significant CT character. Further, the impact of static and dynamic disorders on the hole-electron recombination is studied. Although the host-emitter interactions simultaneously decrease radiative rates and increase non-radiative rates, the latter rates are 100 times smaller than the former rates, allowing internal quantum efficiency to reach 100% for the doublet-based emission process. The results of this study highlight the significant impact of host-emitter interactions on radiative and non-radiative recombination processes and offer guidelines to tune these interactions for advancing radical-based OLEDs.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted great attention due to its noninvasive and low side effects. Photothermal agents (PTAs) which could convert absorbing light into heat play a critical role in PTT. For conventional small organic PTAs, the photothermal conversion ability is mainly achieved by intermolecular noncovalent interactions such as π-π interactions. However, in terms of organic fluorophores with rotator or vibrator segments, the balance between fluorescence emission and heat generation is mainly regulated by intramolecular motions which could be mediated by molecular engineering. Following this designing principle, various fluorophores with intramolecular motions for effective PTT have been reported. In this review, we highlight the recent progress of PTAs based on small organic fluorophores with intramolecular motions for enhanced PTT. Designing tactics of these fluorophores to afford long-wavelength absorption, high photothermal conversion ability, and effective accumulation capability are emphasized. Finally, one-for-all phototheranostics achieved by mediating intramolecular motions of these fluorophores are highlighted. We hope this review could pave a new avenue to developing fluorophores with intramolecular motion as PTAs to advance their clinical transition. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Recent progress of photothermal agents (PTAs) based on small organic fluorophores with intramolecular motion is summarized in this review. Molecular engineering of these small organic fluorophores to afford long-wavelength absorption, high photothermal conversion ability, and effective accumulation at tumor sites for enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) is highlighted. Strategies to tune the intramolecular motions of these fluorophores to achieve multimodal phototherapy are emphasized as well.

Optical molecular imaging and theranostics in neurological diseases based on aggregation-induced emission luminogens. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2022; 49:4529-4550. [PMID: 35781601 PMCID: PMC9606072 DOI: 10.1007/s00259-022-05894-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Optical molecular imaging and image-guided theranostics benefit from special and specific imaging agents, for which aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have been regarded as good candidates in many biomedical applications. They display a large Stokes shift, high quantum yield, good biocompatibility, and resistance to photobleaching. Neurological diseases are becoming a substantial burden on individuals and society that affect over 50 million people worldwide. It is urgently needed to explore in more detail the brain structure and function, learn more about pathological processes of neurological diseases, and develop more efficient approaches for theranostics. Many AIEgens have been successfully designed, synthesized, and further applied for molecular imaging and image-guided theranostics in neurological diseases such as cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, and brain tumor, which help us understand more about the pathophysiological state of brain through noninvasive optical imaging approaches. Herein, we focus on representative AIEgens investigated on brain vasculature imaging and theranostics in neurological diseases including cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, and brain tumor. Considering different imaging modalities and various therapeutic functions, AIEgens have great potential to broaden neurological research and meet urgent needs in clinical practice. It will be inspiring to develop more practical and versatile AIEgens as molecular imaging agents for preclinical and clinical use on neurological diseases.

Abstract
A series of σ-π extended octamethyltetrasilanes, which have phenothiazine, 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine, or phenoxazine (1, 2, and 3) groups as donor moieties and thienopyrazine or benzothiadiazole (a and b) groups as acceptor fragments, has been prepared, and their optical properties have been studied as an extension of our work. All six compounds exhibited fluorescence in the solid state with maximum wavelengths centered in the range of 400 and 650 nm upon excitation by a UV lamp. Compound 2b showed apparent dual emission behavior in solution, which depends on solvent polarity, and a reversible photoluminescent change under mechanical and thermal stimuli in the solid state. Quantum chemical calculations suggest the contribution of a quasi-axial conformer of the 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine moiety in 2b to the dual emission in solution and the mechanofluoroluminescence in the solid state, similarly to 1a. These studies provide new insight into the preparation of disilane-bridged triads capable of responding to multiple stimuli.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorogens provide new opportunities to promote efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in aggregates, which represent the promising candidates to construct theranostic nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy (PDT), but the size effect has been rarely explored. Herein, a universal method to fabricate organic nanoparticles with controllable sizes is reported and it demonstrates that ≈45 nm is the optimal size of AIE nanoparticles for PDT. Different from conventional Ce6 nanoparticles which show largely reduced fluorescence and ROS generation with increasing nanoparticle size, AIE nanoparticles show gradually enhanced brightness and ROS generation upon increasing the sizes from 6 to ≈45 nm. Further increasing sizes could continue to intensify the nanoparticle's brightness at the expense of ROS production, with the optimal size for ROS generation being achieved at ≈45 nm. Both 2D monolayer cell and 3D multicellular spheroid experiments confirm that 45 nm AIE nanoparticles have the highest cellular uptake, the deepest penetration depth, and the best photodynamic killing effect. Such a study not only manifests the advantages of AIE photosensitizers, but also delivers the optimal size ranging for efficient PDT, which shall provide an attractive paradigm to guide the development of phototheranostic nanoparticles besides molecular design to further promote PDT applications.

Abstract
Enzyme-mediated intratumoral self-assembled (EMISA) nanotheranostics represent a new class of smart agents for combined imaging and therapy of cancer. Cancer cells overexpress various enzymes that are essential for high metabolism, fast proliferation, and tissue invasion and metastasis. By conjugating small molecules that contain an enzyme-specific cleavage site to appropriate chemical linkers, it is possible to induce self-assembly of nanostructures in tumor cells having the target enzyme. This approach of injecting small theranostic molecules that eventually become larger nanotheranostics in situ avoids some of the major limitations that are encountered when injecting larger, pre-assembled nanotheranostics. The advantage of EMISA nanotheranostics include the avoidance of nonspecific uptake and rapid clearance by phagocytic cells, increased cellular accumulation, reduced drug efflux and prolonged cellular exposure time, all of which lead to an amplified imaging signal and therapeutic efficacy. We review here the different approaches that can be used for preparing EMISA-based organic, inorganic, or organic/inorganic hybrid nanotheranostics based on noncovalent interactions and/or covalent bonding. Imaging examples are shown for fluorescence imaging, nuclear imaging, photoacoustic imaging, Raman imaging, computed tomography imaging, bioluminescent imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Peptide-Based Structures.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a newly characterized form of immunogenic cell death, is attracting increasing attention as a promising approach to cancer immunotherapy. However, biocompatible strategies to activate pyroptosis remain rare. Here, we show that a photocatalytic superoxide radical (O2-•) generator, NI-TA, triggers pyroptosis in cancer cells. NI-TA was designed to take advantage of an intramolecular triplet-ground state splitting energy modulation approach. Detailed studies revealed that the pyroptosis triggered by NI-TA under conditions of photoexcitation proceeds through a caspase-3/gasdermin E (GSDME) pathway rather than via canonical processes involving caspase-1/gasdermin-D (GSDMD). NI-TA was found to function via a partial-O2-recycling mode of action and to trigger cell pyroptosis and provide for effective cancer cell ablation even under conditions of hypoxia (≤2% O2). In the case of T47D 3D multicellular spheroids, good antitumor efficiency and stemness inhibition are achieved. This work highlights how photocatalytic chemistry may be leveraged to develop effective pyroptosis-inducing agents.
