Abstract
Surgery is one of the most important paradigms for tumor therapy, while fluorescence imaging (FI) offers real-time intraoperative guidance, greatly boosting treatment prognosis. The imaging fidelity heavily relies on not only imaging facilities but also probes for imaging-guided surgery (IGS). So far, a great number of IGS probes with emission in visible (400-700 nm) and near-infrared (NIR 700-1700 nm) windows have been developed for pinpointing disease margins intraoperatively. Herein, the state-of-the-art fluorescent probes for IGS are timely updated, with a special focus on the fluorescent probes under clinical examination. For a better demonstration of the superiority of NIR FI over visible FI, both imaging modalities are critically compared regarding signal-to-background ratio, penetration depth, resolution, tissue autofluorescence, photostability, and biocompatibility. Various types of fluorescence IGS have been summarized to demonstrate its importance in the medical field. Furthermore, the most recent progress of fluorescent probes in NIR-I and NIR-II windows is summarized. Finally, an outlook on multimodal imaging, FI beyond NIR-II, efficient tumor targeting, automated IGS, the use of AI and machine learning for designing fluorescent probes, and the fluorescence-guided da Vinci surgical system is given. We hope this review will stimulate interest among researchers in different areas and expedite the translation of fluorescent probes from bench to bedside.

Abstract
IR780 iodide is a commercially available targeted near-infrared contrast agent for in vivo imaging and cancer photodynamic or photothermal therapy, whereas the accumulation, dynamics, and retention of IR780 in biological tissue, especially in tumor is still under-explored. Diffuse fluorescence tomography (DFT) can be used for localization and quantification of the three-dimensional distribution of NIR fluorophores. Herein, a homemade DFT imaging system combined with tumor-targeted IR780 was utilized for cancer imaging and pharmacokinetic evaluation. The aim of this study is to comprehensively assess the biochemical and pharmacokinetic characteristics of IR780 with the aid of DFT imaging. The optimal IR780 concentration (20 μg/mL) was achieved first. Subsequently, the good biocompatibility and cellar uptake of IR780 was demonstrated through the mouse acute toxic test and cell assay. In vivo, DFT imaging effectively identified various subcutaneous tumors and revealed the long-term retention of IR780 in tumors and rapid metabolism in the liver. Ex vivo imaging indicated IR780 was mainly concentrated in tumor and lung with significantly different from the distribution in other organs. DFT imaging allowed sensitive tumor detection and pharmacokinetic rates analysis. Simultaneously, the kinetics of IR780 in tumors and liver provided more valuable information for application and development of IR780.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) represents a groundbreaking approach to targeted disease treatment by harnessing the conversion of light into heat. The efficacy of PTT heavily relies on the capabilities of photothermal agents (PTAs). Among PTAs, those based on organic dyes exhibit notable characteristics such as adjustable light absorption wavelengths, high extinction coefficients, and high compatibility in biological systems. However, a challenge associated with organic dye-based PTAs lies in their efficiency in converting light into heat while maintaining stability. Manipulating dye aggregation is a key aspect in modulating non-radiative decay pathways, aiming to augment heat generation. This review delves into various strategies aimed at improving photothermal performance through constructing aggregation. These strategies including protecting dyes from photodegradation, inhibiting non-photothermal pathways, maintaining space within molecular aggregates, and introducing intermolecular photophysical processes. Overall, this review highlights the precision-driven assembly of organic dyes as a promising frontier in enhancing PTT-related applications. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Photosensitizers and photothermal agents have attracted increasing attention for in vitro diagnosis, but the combination remains challenging. Herein, a light-driven photocatalytic-photothermal synergetic system integrated microfluidic distance-based analytical device (PCPT-μDAD) for visual, portable, sensitive, and quantitative detection of targets was developed. Target DNA was recognized and initiated the hybridization chain reaction to form a double-stranded DNA/SYBR Green I (dsDNA/SG-I) complex. By applying the photosensitization of the dsDNA/SG-I complex and the photothermal effect of oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, the target concentration can effectively translate into a visual distance signal readout. Importantly, the light-driven PCPT-μDAD greatly improves the controllability of catalytic reactions and signal amplification efficiency. The light-driven PCPT-μDAD shows a low limit of detection (fM level), good stability, and high reproducibility for nucleic acid detection.

Abstract
Near-infrared dyes, particularly cyanine dyes, have shown great potential in biomedical imaging due to their deep tissue penetration, high resolution, and minimal tissue autofluorescence/scattering. These dyes can be adjusted in terms of absorption and emission wavelengths by modifying their chemical structures. The current issues with cyanine dyes include aggregation-induced quenching, poor photostability, and short in vivo circulation time. Encapsulating cyanine dyes with albumin, whether exogenous or endogenous, has been proven to be an effective strategy for improving their brightness and pharmacokinetics. In detail, the chloride-containing (Cl-containing) cyanine dyes have been found to selectively bind to albumin to achieve site-specific albumin tagging, resulting in enhanced optical properties and improved biosafety. This feature article provides an overview of the progress in the covalent binding of Cl-containing cyanine dyes with albumin, including molecular engineering methods, binding sites, and the selective binding mechanism. The improved optical properties of cyanine dyes and albumin complexes have led to cutting-edge applications in biological imaging, such as tumor imaging (diagnostics) and imaging-guided surgery.

Abstract
In the realm of biological research, the invention of super-resolution microscopy (SRM) has enabled the visualization of ultrafine sub-cellular structures and their functions in live cells at the nano-scale level, beyond the diffraction limit, which has opened up a new window for advanced biomedical studies to unravel the complex unknown details of physiological disorders at the sub-cellular level with unprecedented resolution and clarity. However, most of the SRM techniques are highly reliant on the personalized special photophysical features of the fluorophores. In recent times, there has been an unprecedented surge in the development of robust new fluorophore systems with personalized features for various super-resolution imaging techniques. To date, xanthene, cyanine, oxazine and BODIPY cores have been authoritatively utilized as the basic fluorophore units in most of the small-molecule-based organic fluorescent probe designing strategies for SRM owing to their excellent photophysical characteristics and easy synthetic acquiescence. Since the future of next-generation SRM studies will be decided by the availability of advanced fluorescent probes and these four fluorescent building blocks will play an important role in progressive new fluorophore design, there is an urgent need to review the recent advancements in designing fluorophores for different SRM methods based on these fluorescent dye cores. This review article not only includes a comprehensive discussion about the recent developments in designing fluorescent probes for various SRM techniques based on these four important fluorophore building blocks with special emphasis on their effective integration into live cell super-resolution bio-imaging applications but also critically evaluates the background of each of the fluorescent dye cores to highlight their merits and demerits towards developing newer fluorescent probes for SRM.

Abstract
The activation of the immune system is critical for cancer immunotherapy and treatments of inflammatory diseases. Non-invasive visualization of immunoactivation is designed to monitor the dynamic nature of the immune response and facilitate the assessment of therapeutic outcomes, which, however, remains challenging. Conventional imaging modalities, such as positron emission tomography, computed tomography, etc., were utilized for imaging immune-related biomarkers. To explore the dynamic immune monitoring, probes with signals correlated to biomarkers of immune activation or prognosis are urgently needed. These emerging molecular probes, which turn on the signal only in the presence of the intended biomarker, can improve the detection specificity. These probes with "turn on" signals enable non-invasive, dynamic, and real-time imaging with high sensitivity and efficiency, showing significance for multifunctionality/multimodality imaging. As a result, more and more innovative engineered nanoprobes combined with diverse imaging modalities were developed to assess the activation of the immune system. In this work, we comprehensively review the recent and emerging advances in engineered nanoprobes for monitoring immune activation in cancer or other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and discuss the potential in predicting the efficacy following treatments. Research on real-time in vivo immunoimaging is still under exploration, and this review can provide guidance and facilitate the development and application of next-generation imaging technologies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has the potential to improve cancer treatment by providing dual selectivity through the use of both photoactive agent and light, with the goal of minimal harmful effects from either the agent or light alone. However, current PDT is limited by insufficient photosensitizers (PSs) that can suffer from low tissue penetration, insufficient phototoxicity (toxicity with light irradiation), or undesirable cytotoxicity (toxicity without light irradiation). Recently, we reported a platform for decoupling optical and electronic properties with counterions that modulate frontier molecular orbital levels of a photoactive ion. Here, we demonstrate the utility of this platform in vivo by pairing near-infrared (NIR) photoactive heptamethine cyanine cation (Cy+), which has enhanced optical properties for deep tissue penetration, with counterions that make it cytotoxic, phototoxic, or nontoxic in a mouse model of breast cancer. We find that pairing Cy+ with weakly coordinating anion FPhB- results in a selectively phototoxic PS (CyFPhB) that stops tumor growth in vivo with minimal side effects. This work provides proof of concept that our counterion pairing platform can be used to generate improved cancer PSs that are selectively phototoxic to tumors and nontoxic to normal healthy tissues.

Abstract
The instability in solution and aggregation-induced self-quenching of indocyanine green (ICG) have weakened its fluorescence and photothermal properties, thus inhibiting its application in practice. In this study, the cationic and anionic liposomes containing ICG were prepared based on 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-glycerol (DPPG), respectively. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations demonstrate that ICG molecules are better distributed in the membranes of cationic DOTAP-based liposomes, leading to a superior fluorescence and photothermal performance. The liposomal ICG also shows the physical and photothermal stability during irradiation and long-term storage. On this basis, the prepared DOTAP-based liposomal ICG was encapsulated in the self-healing hydrogel formed by guar gum through the borate/diol interaction. The proposed liposomal ICG-loaded hydrogel can not only convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat effectively but also repair itself without external assistance, which will realize potent photothermal therapy (PTT) against bacterial infection and provide the possibility for meeting the rapidly growing needs of modern medicine.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a relatively safe approach to cancer treatment without significant systemic side effects or drug resistance. However, the current PDT efficiency is unsatisfactory due to the lack of near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizers. Heptamethine cyanine (Cy7) dyes are well-known NIR fluorophores and are also used as photosensitizers. But their singlet oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ ) are not ideal. Herein, we developed an NIR photosensitizer with a long-lived excited triplet state (τ=4.3 μs) by introducing a selenium atom into the structure of a Cy7 dye. The new NIR photosensitizer exhibits a significantly high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ =0.11). Its good PDT effect was demonstrated in the living cells. Considering that the selenium-substituted photosensitizer has a very low dark cytotoxicity and good chemical stability, we conclude that it will have a promising future in biomedical and clinical applications.

Abstract
It has been proved that the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is closely related to the intrinsic features of the photosensitizer (PS). Over the recent years, several efforts have been devoted to the discovery of novel and more efficient photosensitizers showing higher efficacy and lower side effects. In this context, squaraine and cyanine dyes have been reported to potentially overcome the drawbacks related to the traditional PSs. In fact, squaraines and cyanines are characterized by sharp and intense absorption bands and narrow emission bands with high extinction coefficients typically in the red and near-infrared region, good photo and thermal stability and a strong fluorescent emission in organic solvents. In addition, biocompatibility and low toxicity make them suitable for biological applications. Despite these interesting intrinsic features, their chemical instability and self-aggregation properties in biological media still limit their use in PDT. To overcome these drawbacks, the self-assembly and incorporation into smart nanoparticle systems are forwarded promising approaches that can control their physicochemical properties, providing rational solutions for the limitation of free dye administration in the PDT application. The present review summarizes the latest advances in squaraine and cyanine dyes for PDT application, analyzing the different strategies, i.e.the self-assembly and the incorporation into nanoparticles, to further enhance their photochemical properties and therapeutic potential. The in vivo assessments are still limited, thus further delaying their effective application in PDT.

Abstract
Cancer is the most common life-threatening malignant disease. The future of personalized cancer treatments relies on the development of functional agents that have tumor-targeted anticancer activities and can be detected in tumors through imaging. Cyanines, especially heptamethine cyanine (Cy7), have prospective application because of their excellent tumor-targeting capacity, high quantum yield, low tissue autofluorescence, long absorption wavelength, and low background interference. In this review, the application of Cy7 and its derivatives in tumors is comprehensively explored. Cy7 is enormously acknowledged in the field of non-invasive therapy that can “detect” and “kill” tumor cells via near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Furthermore, Cy7 is more available and has excellent properties in cancer theranostics by the presence of multifunctional nanoparticles via fulfilling multimodal imaging and combination therapy simultaneously. This review provides a comprehensive scope of Cy7’s application for cancer NIRF imaging, phototherapy, nanoprobe-based combination therapy in recent years. A deeper understanding of the application of imaging and treatment underlying Cy7 in cancer may provide new strategies for drug development based on cyanine. Thus, the review will lead the way to new types with optical properties and practical transformation to clinical practice.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been widely applied in cancer therapy as a result of its non-invasive, localized treatment and good therapeutic effect. In general, the final therapeutic effect of PTT mainly depends on the photothermal materials, which can be further considered to be determined by the photothermal conversion efficiency, biocompatibility, and photothermal stability of photothermal materials. In this review, photothermal materials including inorganic materials, organic materials, and organic-inorganic composite materials in recent years have been summarized in terms of the mechanism, preparation, and cancer therapy applications. In the end, the perspectives and obstacles in their further development are overviewed.

Abstract
Phototherapies, in the form of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), are very promising treatment modalities for cancer since they provide locality and turn-on mechanism for toxicity, both of which are critical in reducing off-site toxicity. Irradiation of photosensitive agents demonstrated successful therapeutic outcomes; however, each approach has its limitations and needs to be improved for clinical success. The combination of PTT and PDT may work in a synergistic way to overcome the limitations of each method and indeed improve the treatment efficacy. The development of single photosensitive agents capable of inducing both PDT and PTT is, therefore, extremely advantageous and highly desired. Cyanine dyes are shown to have such potential, hence have been very popular in the recent years. Luminescence of cyanine dyes renders them as phototheranostic molecules, reporting the localization of the photosensitive agent prior to irradiation to induce phototoxicity, hence allowing image-guided phototherapy. In this review, we mainly focus on the cyanine dye-based phototherapy of different cancer cells, concentrating on the advancements achieved in the last ten years.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a branch of science dealing with the development of new types of nanomaterials by several methods. In the biomedical field, nanotechnology is widely used in the form of nanotherapeutics. Therefore, the current biomedical research pays much attention to nanotechnology for the development of efficient cancer treatment. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared tricarbocyanine dye approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human clinical use. ICG is a biologically safe photosensitizer and it can kill tumor cells by producing singlet oxygen species and photothermal heat upon NIR irradiation. ICG has some limitations such as easy aggregation, rapid aqueous degradation, and a short half-life. To address these limitations, ICG is further formulated with nanoparticles. Therefore, ICG is integrated with organic nanomaterials (polymers, micelles, liposomes, dendrimers and protein), inorganic nanomaterials (magnetic, gold, mesoporous, calcium, and LDH based), and hybrid nanomaterials. The combination of ICG with nanomaterials provides highly efficient therapeutic effects. Nowadays, ICG is used for various biomedical applications, especially in cancer therapeutics. In this review, we mainly focus on ICG-based combined cancer nanotherapeutics for advanced cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy usually requires a high power density to activate photothermal agent for effective treatment, which inevitably leads to damage to normal tissues and inflammation in tumor tissues. Herein, we rationally design a protein-binding strategy to build a molecular photothermal agent for photothermal ablation of tumor. The synthesized photothermal agent can covalently bind to the thiol groups on the intracellular proteins. The heat generated by the photothermal agent directly destroyed the bioactive proteins in the cells, effectively reducing the heat loss and the molecular leakage. Under a low power density of 0.2 W cm-2 , the temperature produced by the photothermal agent was sufficient to induce apoptosis. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the therapeutic effect of photothermal therapy can be efficiently improved with the protein-binding strategy.

Abstract
Small molecular dye that simultaneously exerts dual PDT/PTT effects as well as florescence imaging triggered by a single NIR-II light has never been reported to date. Apart from the huge challenge in pushing absorption profile into NIR-II region, fine-tuning dyes' excited state via rational structure design to meet all three functions, especially oxygen photosensitization, remains the most prominent throttle. Herein, five novel NIR-II dyes (BHs) are productively developed by strategically conjugating dyad innovative xanthonium with sequentially extended polymethine bridges, enabling intense absorption from 890 to 1206 nm, significantly 400 nm longer than conventional cyanine dyes with same polymethines. More importantly, owning to high resonance and favorable excited state energy population induced by greater rigidity via ring-fused amino, BH 1024 exhibits best singlet oxygen generation capability, moderate photothermal heating, and considerable fluorescence under 1064 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, BH 1024 is encapsulated into folate-functionalized polymer, which demonstrated a synergetic PDT/PTT effect in vitro and in vivo, eventually achieving solid tumors elimination under NIR-II fluorescence guide. As far as it is known, this is the first time small molecular dyes for NIR-II PDT or NIR-II PDT/PTT are explored and designed.

Abstract
Infrared (IR) adaptation phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and biological systems. Taking inspiration from natural creatures, researchers have devoted extensive efforts for developing advanced IR adaptive materials and exploring their applications in areas of smart camouflage, thermal energy management, biomedical science, and many other IR-related technological fields. Herein, an up-to-date review is provided on the recent advancements of bioinspired IR adaptive materials and their promising applications. First an overview of IR adaptation in nature and advanced artificial IR technologies is presented. Recent endeavors are then introduced toward developing bioinspired adaptive materials for IR camouflage and IR radiative cooling. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, IR camouflage can be realized by either emissivity engineering or thermal cloaks. IR radiative cooling can maximize the thermal radiation of an object through an IR atmospheric transparency window, and thus holds great potential for use in energy-efficient green buildings and smart personal thermal management systems. Recent advances in bioinspired adaptive materials for emerging near-IR (NIR) applications are also discussed, including NIR-triggered biological technologies, NIR light-fueled soft robotics, and NIR light-driven supramolecular nanosystems. This review concludes with a perspective on the challenges and opportunities for the future development of bioinspired IR adaptive materials.

Abstract
Dual phototherapy agents have attracted great interest in recent years as they offer enhanced cytotoxicity on cancer cells due to the synergistic effect of photodynamic and photothermal therapies (PDT/PTT). In this study, we demonstrate a brominated hemicyanine (HC-1), which is previously shown as mitochondria targeting PDT agent, can also serve as an effective photosensitizer for PTT for the first time under a single (640 nm or 808 nm) and dual laser (640 nm + 808 nm) irradiation. Generation of reactive oxygen species and photothermal conversion as a function of irradiation wavelength and power were studied. Both single wavelength irradiations caused significant phototoxicity in colon and cervical cancer cells after 5 min of irradiation. However, co-irradiation provided near-complete elimination of cancer cells due to synergistic action. This work introduces an easily accessible small molecule-based synergistic phototherapy agent, which holds a great promise towards the realization of local, rapid and highly efficient treatment modalities against cancer.

Abstract
Cyanine is a meritorious fluorogenic core for the construction of fluorescent probes and its phototherapeutic potential has been enthusiastically explored as well. Alternatively, the covalent conjugation of cyanine with other potent therapeutic agents not only boosts its therapeutic efficacy but also broadens its therapeutic modality. Herein, we summarize miscellaneous cyanine-therapeutic agent conjugates in cancer theranostics from literature published between 2014 and 2020. The application scenarios of such theranostic cyanine conjugates covered common cancer therapeutic modalities, including chemotherapy, phototherapy and targeted therapy. Besides, cyanine conjugates that serve as nanocarriers for drug delivery are introduced as well. In an additional section, we analyze the potential of these conjugates for clinical translation. Overall, this review is aimed to stimulate research interest in exploring unattempted therapeutic agents and novel conjugation strategies and hopefully, accelerate clinical translation in this field.

Abstract
Melanin-based nanoplatforms are biocompatible nanomaterials with a variety of unique physicochemical properties such as strong photothermal conversion ability, excellent drug binding capacity, strong metal chelation capacity, high chemical reactivity and versatile adhesion ability. These innate talents not only make melanin-based nanoplatforms be an inborn theranostic nanoagent for photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy of cancers, but also enable them to be conveniently transferred into cancer-targeting drug delivery systems and multimodality imaging nanoprobes. Due to the intriguing properties, melanin-based nanoplatforms have attracted much attention in investigations of cancer diagnosis and therapy. This review provides an overview of recent research advances in applications of melanin-based nanoplatforms in the fields of cancer diagnosis and therapy including cancer photothermal therapy, anticancer drug delivery, cancer-specific multimodal imaging and theranostics, etc. The remaining challenges and prospects of melanin-based nanoplatforms in biomedical applications are discussed at the end of this review.

Abstract
At present, the intermittent photodynamic therapy (fractional PDT) for overcoming tumor hypoxia still have their own defects, such as irradiation-dependence and rapid metabolism of organic photosensitizers. Therefore, it is still a really formidable challenge to achieve efficient fractional PDT. Herein, a three-in-one functional silica nanocarrier (FSNC) with singlet oxygen (1O2) generating unit (protoporphyrin IX derivative), 1O2 storage/release unit (2-pyridone derivative), and 1O2 self-monitoring unit (cyanine derivative) was prepared by reverse microemulsion method. Also, it could be efficiently internalized in the HeLa cells because of an appropriate particle size (∼44.8 nm). In the presence of light, the endoperoxide is formed to achieve 1O2 storage together with 1O2 generated by 1O2 generating unit for traditional PDT. In the absence of light, the endoperoxide produces 1O2 through cycloreversion for continuous PDT. As a result, the fractional PDT process of the FSNC on the HeLa cells performed a higher phototoxicity than traditional photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX. Furthermore, this real-time release behavior of 1O2 can be visually captured by confocal laser scanning microscope via monitoring fluorescent bleaching of 1O2 self-monitoring unit. Therefore, this fluorescent imaging-guided fractional PDT process could effectively enhance the PDT effect compared with traditional PDT.

Abstract
Design and construction of multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms are still desired for cancer-effective treatment. Herein, a kind of polypyrrole (PPy)-based multifunctional nanocomposite was designed and successfully constructed for dual-model imaging and enhanced synergistic phototherapy against cancer cells. Through graphene oxide (GO) sheet coating, PPy nanoparticles (NPs) were effectively combined with polyethylene glycol chains, Au NPs, and IR820 molecules. The obtained PGPAI NPs showed promising ability for photoacoustic/computed tomography imaging. Under near-infrared light irradiation, the PPy core and IR820 molecule effectively generated heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS), respectively. Furthermore, the loaded Au NPs owning catalase-like activity produced oxygen by decomposing H2O2 (up-regulated in tumor region), enhancing the oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy efficacy. The formed PGPAI NPs were also proved to own desirable photothermal conversion efficiency, photothermal stability, colloidal stability, cytocompatibility, and cellular internalization behaviors. Furthermore, cell assay demonstrated that PGPAI NPs displayed enhanced synergistic phototherapy efficacy against cancer cells. These developed multifunctional nanoplatforms are promising for effective cancer theranostic applications.

Abstract
Background: Engineering a single organic-molecule-based nanoparticle integrating precise diagnosis and effective therapy is of great significance for cancer treatment and future clinical applications but remains a great challenge. The goal of this study is to explore small organic molecule-based nanoparticles with high photothermal conversion efficiency for photoacoustic imaging-guided therapy. Methods: Heptacyclic B, O-chelated BODIPY structure (namely Boca-BODIPY) with strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption was designed as a theranostic agent through simply molecular engineering, in which heavy atoms and alkyl chains were introduced to promote its application for tumor theranostics. The Boca-BODIPY molecules are further encapsulated in reduced bovine serum albumin (BSA) through self-assembly. Results: The BSA-Boca-BODIPY exhibited excellent biocompatibility, extraordinary stability and high photothermal conversion efficiency up to 58.7%. The nanoparticles could dramatically enhance photoacoustic contrast of the tumor region, and the signal-to-noise ratio was increased about 14 times at 10 h post intravenous injection in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. In addition, the nanoassemblies can efficiently convert laser energy (808 nm, 0.75 w cm-2, 5min) into hyperthermia for tumor ablation. Under the photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT), the 4T1 cancer cells were efficiently killed, no tumor recurrence and PTT-induced toxicity is observed. Conclusions: Molecular engineering is a promising way to design organic-molecule-based nanoparticles for cancer theranostics. Other organic-molecule-based nanoparticles which show great promise for imaging-guided cancer precision therapy can be engineered through this method.

Abstract
The nonradiative conversion of light energy into heat (photothermal therapy, PTT) or sound energy (photoacoustic imaging, PAI) has been intensively investigated for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, respectively. By taking advantage of nanocarriers, both imaging and therapeutic functions together with enhanced tumour accumulation have been thoroughly studied to improve the pre-clinical efficiency of PAI and PTT. In this review, we first summarize the development of inorganic and organic nano photothermal transduction agents (PTAs) and strategies for improving the PTT outcomes, including applying appropriate laser dosage, guiding the treatment via imaging techniques, developing PTAs with absorption in the second NIR window, increasing photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), and also increasing the accumulation of PTAs in tumours. Second, we introduce the advantages of combining PTT with other therapies in cancer treatment. Third, the emerging applications of PAI in cancer-related research are exemplified. Finally, the perspectives and challenges of PTT and PAI for combating cancer, especially regarding their clinical translation, are discussed. We believe that PTT and PAI having noteworthy features would become promising next-generation non-invasive cancer theranostic techniques and improve our ability to combat cancers.

Abstract
Serious side effects to surrounding normal tissues and unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy hamper the further clinic applications of conventional cancer-therapeutic strategies, such as chemotherapy and surgery. The fast development of nanotechnology provides unprecedented superiorities for cancer therapeutics. Externally activatable therapeutic modalities mediated by nanomaterials, relying on highly effective energy transformation to release therapeutic elements/effects (cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, thermal effect, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, cavitation effect, mechanical effect or chemotherapeutic drug) for cancer therapies, categorized and termed as "energy-converting nanomedicine," have arouse considerable concern due to their noninvasiveness, desirable tissue-penetration depth, and accurate modulation of therapeutic dose. This review summarizes the recent advances in the engineering of intelligent functional nanotherapeutics for energy-converting nanomedicine, including photo-based, radiation-based, ultrasound-based, magnetic field-based, microwave-based, electric field-based, and radiofrequency-based nanomedicines, which are enabled by external stimuli (light, radiation, ultrasound, magnetic field, microwave, electric field, and radiofrequency). Furthermore, biosafety issues of energy-converting nanomedicine related to future clinical translation are also addressed. Finally, the potential challenges and prospects of energy-converting nanomedicine for future clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
Simplifying synthesis and administration process, improving photothermal agents' accumulation in tumors, and ensuring excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability are keys to promoting the clinical application of photothermal therapy. However, current photothermal agents have great difficulties in meeting the requirements of clinic drugs from synthesis to administration. Herein, we reported the in situ formation of a Ca2+/Mg2+ stimuli-responsive ICG-alginate hydrogel in vivo for localized tumor photothermal therapy. An ICG-alginate hydrogel can form by the simple introduction of Ca2+/Mg2+ into ICG-alginate solution in vitro, and the widely distributed divalent cations in organization in vivo enabled the in situ fabrication of the ICG-alginate hydrogel without the leakage of any agents by simple injection of ICG-alginate solution into the body of mice. The as-prepared ICG-alginate hydrogel not only owns good photothermal therapy efficacy and excellent biocompatibility but also exhibits strong ICG fixation ability, greatly benefiting the high photothermal agents' accumulation and minimizing the potential side effects induced by the diffusion of ICG to surrounding tissues. The in situ-fabricated ICG-alginate hydrogel was applied successfully in highly efficient PTT in vivo without obvious side effects. Besides, the precursor of the hydrogel, ICG and alginate, can be stored in a stable solid form, and only simple mixing and noninvasive injection are needed to achieve PTT in vivo. The proposed in situ gelation strategy using biocompatible components lays down a simple and mild way for the fabrication of high-performance PTT agents with the superiors in the aspects of synthesis, storage, transportation, and clinic administration.

Abstract
Phototherapies including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have gained considerable attention due to their high tumor ablation efficiency, excellent spatial resolution and minimal side effects on normal tissue. In contrast to inorganic nanoparticles, near-infrared (NIR) absorbing organic nanoparticles bypass the issue of metal-ion induced toxicity and thus are generally considered to be more biocompatible. Moreover, with the guidance of different kinds of imaging methods, the efficacy of cancer phototherapy based on organic nanoparticles has shown to be optimizable. In this review, we summarize the synthesis and application of NIR-absorbing organic nanoparticles as phototherapeutic nanoagents for cancer phototherapy. The chemistry, optical properties and therapeutic efficacies of organic nanoparticles are firstly described. Their phototherapy applications are then surveyed in terms of therapeutic modalities, which include PTT, PDT and PTT/PDT combined therapy. Finally, the present challenges and potential of imaging guided PTT/PDT are discussed.

Abstract
Although demanding, the development of multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms is attracting considerable worldwide interest. Herein, a theranostic nanoplatform with multifunctions based on polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles (NPs) was developed, owning dual-imaging and dual-therapy functions for cancer theranostic applications. PDA NPs were generated using a facile polymerization method under alkaline conditions, followed by poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) modification. Then, the obtained NPs were loaded with IR820 and Fe3+ ions to produce the final PEGylated PDA/IR820/Fe3+ (PPIF) NPs. The PPIF NPs thus generated displayed increasingly brighter photoacoustic and magnetic resonance signals with increasing NP concentration and were demonstrated to be cytocompatible and effectively taken up and internalized into HeLa cells. Under near-infrared light irradiation, PPIF NPs can produce heat and reactive oxygen species for photothermal/photodynamic combined cancer therapy. In this study, the versatility of PDA NPs was demonstrated to be promising as a multifunctional nanoplatform for potential cancer theranostic applications.

Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles (NPs) possess high near-infrared absorption and good biosafety, showing the potentials as photothermal therapeutic materials. However, the single function and the weak diagnostic function limit the further combination with other functional units to achieve theranostics. In this work, polyaminopyrrole (PPy-NH2) is demonstrated as the alternative of PPy for preparing NPs. Because of the amino group, metal ions, such as Cu(II) and Fe(III) can be loaded in PPy-NH2 NPs, which extends the applications in multimodal theranostics. Systematical studies reveal that the contribution of Cu(II) in multimodal theranostics is greater than Fe(III). Cu can enhance T1 response signal for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and be released controllably in the organism, leading to the effect of chemotherapy. Therefore, Cu(II) and Fe(III) co-loaded PPy-NH2 NPs are defined as CuPPy-NH2 NPs. Experimental results indicate that the optimal size of CuPPy-NH2 NPs is 50.2 nm. The photothermal transduction efficiency is 76.4%. After thermochemotherapy, a complete ablation of human oral epithelial carcinoma tumors is observed. No tumor recurrence is found. Methods: Cu(II) and Fe(III) co-loaded PPy-NH2 NPs are prepared through oxidation polymerization by mixing Py-NH2, CuCl2, and FeCl3 in water under stirring at room temperature, which are defined as CuPPy-NH2 NPs. The as-prepared CuPPy-NH2 NPs are tested with a variety of cell and animal experiments for tumor theranostics. Results: CuPPy-NH2 NPs have good light stability, photothermal stability, biosafety and low toxicity. The optimal size of theranostic CuPPy-NH2 NPs is 50.2 nm, which present a photothermal transduction efficiency of 76.4%. The doped Cu(II) ions also show chemotherapeutic behavior. After thermochemotherapy, a complete ablation of human oral epithelial carcinoma tumors is observed. No tumor recurrence is found. Because of the unpaired electron in Cu atomic orbits, CuPPy-NH2 NPs also show T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusions: This kind of transition metal-doped polymer gives a competitive approach for designing and fabricating multimodal theranostic nanodevices, which shows the potential in tumor treatment.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2) plays a critical role during photodynamic therapy (PDT), however, hypoxia is quite common in most solid tumors, which limits the PDT efficacy and promotes the tumor aggression. Here, a safe and multifunctional oxygen-evolving nanoplatform is costructured to overcome this problem. It is composed of a prussian blue (PB) core and chlorin e6 (Ce6) anchored periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) shell (denoted as PB@PMO-Ce6). In the highly integrated nanoplatform, the PB with catalase-like activity can catalyze hydrogen peroxide to generate O2, and the Ce6 transform the O2 to generate more reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon laser irradiation for PDT. This PB@PMO-Ce6 nanoplatform presents well-defined core-shell structure, uniform diameter (105 ± 12 nm), and high biocompatibility. This study confirms that the PB@PMO-Ce6 nanoplatform can generate more ROS to enhance PDT than free Ce6 in cellular level (p < 0.001). In vivo, the singlet oxygen sensor green staining, tumor volume of tumor-bearing mice, and histopathological analysis demonstrate that this oxygen-evolving nanoplatform can elevate singlet oxygen to effectively inhibit tumor growth without obvious damage to major organs. The preliminary results from this study indicate the potential of biocompatible PB@PMO-Ce6 nanoplatform to elevate O2 and ROS for improving PDT efficacy.

Abstract
Over years, theranostic nanoplatforms have provided a new avenue for the diagnosis and treatment of various cancer types. To this end, a myriad of nanocarriers such as polymeric micelles, liposomes, and inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) with distinct physiochemical and biological properties are routinely investigated for preclinical and clinical studies. So far, liposomes have received great attention for various biomedical applications, however, it still suffers from insufficient morphological stability. On the other hand, inorganic NPs depicting excellent therapeutic ability have failed to address biocompatibility issues. This has raised a serious concern about the clinical approval of multifunctional organic or inorganic-based theranostic agents. Recently, partially silica coated nanohybrids such as cerasomes and bicelles demonstrating both diagnostic and therapeutic ability in a single system, have drawn profound attention as a fascinating novel drug delivery system. Compared with traditional liposomal or inorganic-based nanoformulations, this new and highly stable nanocarriers integrates the functional attributes of biomimetic liposomes and silica NPs, therefore, synergize strengths and functions, or even surpass weaknesses of individual components. This review at its best enlightens the emerging concept of such partially silica coated nanohybrids, fabrication strategies, and theranostic opportunities to combat cancer and related diseases.
