Abstract
Second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging is the most advanced imaging fidelity method with extraordinary penetration depth, signal-to-background ratio, biocompatibility, and targeting ability. It is currently booming in the medical realm to diagnose tumors and is being widely applied for fluorescence-imaging-guided tumor surgery. To efficiently execute this modern imaging modality, scientists have designed various probes capable of showing fluorescence in the NIR-II window. Here, we update the state-of-the-art NIR-II fluorescent probes in the most recent literature, including indocyanine green, NIR-II emissive cyanine dyes, BODIPY probes, aggregation-induced emission fluorophores, conjugated polymers, donor-acceptor-donor dyes, carbon nanotubes, and quantum dots for imaging-guided tumor surgery. Furthermore, we point out that the new materials with fluorescence in NIR-III and higher wavelength range to further optimize the imaging results in the medical realm are a new challenge for the scientific world. In general, we hope this review will serve as a handbook for researchers and students who have an interest in developing and applying fluorescent probes for NIR-II fluorescence-imaging-guided surgery and that it will expedite the clinical translation of the probes from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is strongly related to the occurrence of accumulation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation of the mucosa, and an imbalance of intestinal microbes. However, current treatments largely focus on a single factor, yielding unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. Herein, we report a biocompatible and IBD-targeted metabolic nanoregulator (TMNR) that synergistically regulates cellular and bacterial metabolism. The TMNR comprises a melanin-gallium complex (MNR) encapsulated within a thermosensitive and colitis-targeting hydrogel, all composed of natural and FDA-approved components. The TMNR confers superior broad-spectrum antioxidant properties, effectively scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and blocking inflammatory signaling pathways. The presence of Ga3+ in TMNR selectively disrupts iron metabolism in pathogenic microorganisms due to its structural resemblance to the iron atom. Additionally, incorporating a thermosensitive injectable hydrogel enables targeted delivery of TMNR to inflammatory regions, prolonging their retention time and providing a physical barrier function for optimizing IBD treatment efficacy. Collectively, TMNR effectively modulates the redox balance of inflamed colonic epithelial tissue and disrupts iron metabolism in pathogenic microorganisms, thereby eliminating inflammation and restoring intestinal homeostasis against IBD. Hence, this work presents a comprehensive approach for precise spatiotemporal regulation of the intestinal microenvironmental metabolism for IBD treatment.

Abstract
Near-infrared second region (NIR-II) fluorescent probes are used in the diagnosis of early cancer due to their high tissue penetration. However, there are still few reports on organic small molecule fluorescent probes with NIR-II fluorescence imaging (NIR-II FI) combined with efficient photothermal therapy (PTT). In this study, planar cyclopentadithiophene (CPDT) was incorporated into the twisted structural skeleton (D-A-D), and the strong acceptor TTQ molecule (A) and the donor triphenylamine (D) were introduced to synthesize an organic small molecule (TCT) with enhanced NIR-II fluorescence emission performance. To improve the hydrophilicity of TCT molecules, we used the nanoprecipitation method to coat DSPE-mPEG2000 on the TCT molecules and obtained nanoparticles (TCT-NPs) with a strong absorption band, good water dispersibility, and NIR-II FI ability, which realized NIR-II FI-guided PTT for breast cancer tumors. Due to their effective near-infrared absorption, TCT-NPs exhibit high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 40.1%) under 660 nm laser irradiation, making them a photothermal therapeutic agent with good performance. Therefore, TCT-NPs have the potential to diagnose, eliminate, and monitor the diffusion of cancer.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is the root cause of cardiovascular diseases. Ferroptosis is characterized by highly iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and has been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of AS. Visualization of the ferroptosis process in atherosclerotic plaques is of great importance for diagnosing and treating AS. In this work, the rationally designed fluorescent probe FAS1 exhibited excellent advantages including large Stokes shift, sensitivity to environmental viscosity, good photostability, and improved water solubility. It also could co-locate with commercial lipid droplets (LDs) probes (BODIPY 493/503) well in RAW264.7 cells treated by the ferroptosis inducer. After self-assembly into nanoparticles and then encapsulation with macrophage membranes, the engineered FAS1@MM NPs could successfully target the atherosclerotic plaques in Western diet-induced apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice and reveal the association of ferroptosis with AS through fluorescence imaging in vivo. This study may provide additional insights into the roles of ferroptosis in the diagnosis and treatment of AS.

Abstract
In the treatment process of cancers like oral cancer, it is necessary to employ extensive surgical resection to achieve cancer eradication. However, this often results in damage to crucial functions such as chewing and speaking, leading to a poorer prognosis and a reduced quality of life. To address this issue, a multifunctional theranostic agent named MBPN-T-BTD has been developed by precisely modulating the excitation state energy distribution in the radiative/nonradiative decay pathways using the characteristics of twisted intramolecular charge transfer and aggregation-induced emission. This agent outperforms clinically utilized indocyanine green (ICG) in various aspects, including the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence (FL) and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE). Its nanoparticle form (BTB NPs) can be effectively used for high-contrast delineation of lymph node mapping and tongue and floor of mouth cancers using NIR-II FL, enabling surgeons to achieve more precise and thorough tumor clearance. For tumors located in close proximity to vital organs such as the tongue, the exceptional PCE (71.96%) of BTB NPs allows for targeted photothermal ablation with minimal damage to peripheral healthy tissues. This contribution provides a safer and more effective paradigm for minimally invasive or noninvasive treatment of oral cancer, ensuring the preservation of normal organ functions and showing potential for improving the overall prognosis and quality of life for cancer patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disorder that affects the entire gastrointestinal tract and is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Mainstream clinical testing methods are time-consuming, painful for patients, and insufficiently sensitive to detect early symptoms. Currently, there is no definitive cure for IBD, and frequent doses of medications with potentially severe side effects may affect patient response. In recent years, nanomaterials have demonstrated considerable potential for IBD management due to their diverse structures, composition, and physical and chemical properties. In this review, we provide an overview of the advances in nanomaterial-based diagnosis and treatment of IBD in recent five years. Multi-functional bio-nano platforms, including contrast agents, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes, and bioactive substance detection agents have been developed for IBD diagnosis. Based on a series of pathogenic characteristics of IBD, the therapeutic strategies of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal microbiome regulation of IBD based on nanomaterials are systematically introduced. Finally, the future challenges and prospects in this field are presented to facilitate the development of diagnosis and treatment of IBD.

Abstract
Here, two novel naphthalimide derivatives SNI-Cz and SNI-DCz with AIE were designed and synthesized. The correctness of the two structures was characterized by NMR and HRMS. Their crystal structures, photophysical properties, electrochemical properties, thermal stabilities, fluorescence lifetime and yields have been characterized. Photoluminescence experiments revealed that SNI-DCz had superior properties due to the D-π-A-π-D structure and sliding away stacking of molecules. SNI-DCz exhibited weak fluorescence in pure DMF, with a significant AIE effect observed in the 40% water mixture and a sharp increase in fluorescence intensity was also observed. Cyclic voltammetry and thermogravimetric analysis indicated that SNI-DCz had good electron affinity and thermal stability. The excellent properties of SNI-DCz made it a promising emitter for optoelectronics.

Abstract
The conjugation of tetraphenylethylene (TPE) with podophyllotoxin, N-desacetylthiocolchicine, and cabazitaxel through a sebacic acid linker led to the formation of fluorescent nanoparticles. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used for the identification and characterization of the fluorescent nanoparticles. The biological evaluation was determined in three human ovarian (KURAMOCHI, OVCAR3, OVSAHO) and three human breast (MCF7, SKBR 3, and MDA-MB231) cancer cell lines. In the case of cabazitaxel, the nanoparticles maintained the activity of the parent drug, at the low nanomolar range, while exhibiting high blue fluorescence. The internalization of the fluorescent NPs into cells was detected using immunofluorescence assay.

[PMID: 37667389 PMCID: PMC10476403 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-02080-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging in the range of 1000-1700 nm has great prospects for in vivo imaging and theranostics monitoring. At present, few NIR-II probes with theranostics properties have been developed, especially the high-performance organic theranostics material remains underexploited. Herein, we demonstrate a selenium (Se)-tailoring method to develop high-efficient NIR-II imaging-guided material for in vivo cancer phototheranostics. Via Se-tailoring strategy, conjugated oligomer TPSe-based nanoparticles (TPSe NPs) achieve bright NIR-II emission up to 1400 nm and exhibit a relatively high photothermal conversion efficiency of 60% with good stability. Moreover, the TPSe NPs demonstrate their photothermal ablation of cancer cells in vitro and tumor in vivo with the guidance of NIR-II imaging. It is worth noting that the TPSe NPs have good biocompatibility without obvious side effects. Thus, this work provides new insight into the development of NIR-II theranostics agents.

Abstract
The significance of performing large-depth dynamic microscopic imaging in vivo for life science research cannot be overstated. However, the optical throughput of the microscope limits the available information per unit of time, i.e., it is difficult to obtain both high spatial and temporal resolution at once. Here, a method is proposed to construct a kind of intravital microscopy with high optical throughput, by making near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 900-1880 nm) wide-field fluorescence microscopy learn from two-photon fluorescence microscopy based on a scale-recurrent network. Using this upgraded NIR-II fluorescence microscope, vessels in the opaque brain of a rodent are reconstructed three-dimensionally. Five-fold axial and thirteen-fold lateral resolution improvements are achieved without sacrificing temporal resolution and light utilization. Also, tiny cerebral vessel dilatations in early acute respiratory failure mice are observed, with this high optical throughput NIR-II microscope at an imaging speed of 30 fps.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation, in general, refers to systemic immune abnormalities most often caused by the environment or lifestyle, which is the basis for various skin diseases, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, digestive diseases, cancer, and so on. Therapeutic strategies have focused on immunosuppression and anti-inflammation, but conventional approaches have been poor in enhancing the substantive therapeutic effect of drugs. Nanomaterials continue to attract attention for their high flexibility, durability and simplicity of preparation, as well as high profitability. Nanotechnology is used in various areas of clinical medicine, such as medical diagnosis, monitoring and treatment. However, some related problems cannot be ignored, including various cytotoxic and worsening inflammation caused by the nanomaterials themselves. This paper provides an overview of functional nanomaterial formulations for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of chronic inflammation-related diseases, with the intention of providing some reference for the enhancement and optimization of existing therapeutic approaches.

[PMID: 36754284 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2023.114725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Theranostics has attracted great attention due to its ability to combine the real-time diagnosis of cancers with efficient treatment modalities. Activatable dual-functional molecular agents could be synthesized by covalently conjugating imaging agents, therapeutic agents, stimuli-responsive linkers and/or targeting molecules together. They could be selectively activated by overexpressed physiological stimuli or external triggers at the tumor sites to release imaging agents and cytotoxic drugs, thus offering many advantages for tumor imaging and therapy, such as a high signal-to-noise ratio, low systemic toxicity, and improved therapeutic effects. This review summarizes the recent advances of dual-functional molecular agents that respond to various physiological or external stimuli for cancer theranostics. The molecular designs, synthetic strategies, activatable mechanisms, and biomedical applications of these molecular agents are elaborated, followed by a brief discussion of the challenges and opportunities in this field.

Abstract
Lipid-related cancers cause a large number of deaths worldwide. Therefore, development of highly efficient Lipid droplets (LDs) fluorescent imaging probes will be beneficial to our understanding of lipid-related cancers by allowing us to track the metabolic process of LDs. In this work, a LDs-specific NIR (λmax = 698 nm) probe, namely BY1, was rationally designed and synthesized via a one-step reaction by integrating triphenylamine (electron-donor group) unit into the structure of rofecoxib. This integration strategy enabled the target BY1 to form a strong Donor-Acceptor (D-A) system and endowed BY1 with obvious aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect. Meanwhile, BY1 also showed observable solvent effect and reversible mechanochromatic luminescent property, which could be interpreted clearly via density functional theory (DFT) calculations, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (XPRD), and single crystal X-ray data analysis. More importantly, BY1 exhibited highly specific fluorescent imaging ability (Pearson's correlation = 0.97) towards lipid droplets in living HeLa cells with low cytotoxicity. These results demonstrated that BY1 is a new promising fluorescent probe for lipid droplets imaging, and it might be beneficial to facilitate biological research of lipid-related cancers.

Nanoparticle-Based Techniques for Bladder Cancer Imaging: A Review. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043812.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is very common in humans and is often characterized by recurrences, compromising the patient's quality of life with a substantial social and economic impact. Both the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer are problematic due to the exceptionally impermeable barrier formed by the urothelium lining the bladder; this hinders the penetration of molecules via intravesical instillation while making it difficult to precisely label the tumor tissue for surgical resection or pharmacologic treatment. Nanotechnology has been envisaged as an opportunity to improve both the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for bladder cancer since the nanoconstructs can cross the urothelial barrier and may be functionalized for active targeting, loaded with therapeutic agents, and visualized by different imaging techniques. In this article, we offer a selection of recent experimental applications of nanoparticle-based imaging techniques, with the aim of providing an easy and rapid technical guide for the development of nanoconstructs to specifically detect bladder cancer cells. Most of these applications are based on the well-established fluorescence imaging and magnetic resonance imaging currently used in the medical field and gave positive results on bladder cancer models in vivo, thus opening promising perspectives for the translation of preclinical results to the clinical practice.

Abstract
Noncancerous diseases include a wide plethora of medical conditions beyond cancer and are a major cause of mortality around the world. Despite progresses in clinical research, many puzzles about these diseases remain unanswered, and new therapies are continuously being sought. The evolution of bio-nanomedicine has enabled huge advancements in biosensing, diagnosis, bioimaging, and therapeutics. The recent development of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) has provided an impetus to the field of molecular bionanomaterials. Following aggregation, AIEgens show strong emission, overcoming the problems associated with the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. They also have other unique properties, including low background interferences, high signal-to-noise ratios, photostability, and excellent biocompatibility, along with activatable aggregation-enhanced theranostic effects, which help them achieve excellent therapeutic effects as an one-for-all multimodal theranostic platform. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the overall progresses in AIEgen-based nanoplatforms for the detection, diagnosis, bioimaging, and bioimaging-guided treatment of noncancerous diseases. In addition, it details future perspectives and the potential clinical applications of these AIEgens in noncancerous diseases are also proposed. This review hopes to motivate further interest in this topic and promote ideation for the further exploration of more advanced AIEgens in a broad range of biomedical and clinical applications in patients with noncancerous diseases.

Abstract
The combination of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) and the real-time sensitive second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence bioimaging can provide complementary information for the diagnosis, progression and prognosis of gastrointestinal disorders. Ag2Te quantum dots (QDs) are a kind of promising CT/NIR-II fluorescence dual-modal imaging probe due to their high atomic number and narrow bandgap. However, conventional Ag2Te QDs synthesized by oil phase approaches often suffer from complicated steps, harsh reaction conditions, and toxic organic solvents. Herein, we report the synthesis of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-Ag2Te QDs using a biomineralization approach for CT/NIR-II fluorescence dual-modal imaging of the gastrointestinal tract. The BSA-Ag2Te QDs are fabricated in a facile one-pot approach under mild conditions and exhibit homogeneous size, favorable monodispersity, admirable aqueous solubility, excellent X-ray attenuation properties, and outstanding NIR-II fluorescence performance. In vivo imaging experiments show that BSA-Ag2Te QDs can be used in gastrointestinal tract CT/NIR-II dual-modal imaging with high spatiotemporal resolution and sensitivity. In addition, in an intestinal obstruction mouse model, accurate lesion positioning and imaging-guided obstruction relief surgery are successfully realized based on BSA-Ag2Te QDs. Besides, BSA-Ag2Te QDs have outstanding biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. This study presents a high-performance and biosafe CT/NIR-II fluorescence dual-modal imaging probe for visualizing the gastrointestinal tract in vivo.

Abstract
Visualizing biological tissues in vivo at a cellular or subcellular resolution to explore molecular signaling and cell behaviors is a crucial direction for research into biological processes. In vivo imaging can provide quantitative and dynamic visualization/mapping in biology and immunology. New microscopy techniques combined with near-infrared region fluorophores provide additional avenues for further progress in vivo bioimaging. Based on the development of chemical materials and physical optoelectronics, new NIR-II microscopy techniques are emerging, such as confocal and multiphoton microscopy, light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), and wide-field microscopy. In this review, we introduce the characteristics of in vivo imaging using NIR-II fluorescence microscopy. We also cover the recent advances in NIR-II fluorescence microscopy techniques in bioimaging and the potential for overcoming current challenges.

Abstract
As macrophage infiltration is significantly related to the progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), monitoring the macrophages is a valuable strategy for IBD diagnosis. However, owing to the harsh physiological environment of the gastrointestinal tract and enzymatic degradation, the development of orally administrable imaging probes for tracking macrophages remains a considerable challenge. Accordingly, herein, an orally administrable aggregation-induced emission biomimetic probe (HBTTPIP/β-glucan particles [GPs]) is developed for tracing macrophages; HBTTPIP/GPs can diagnose and alleviate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colonic inflammation and self-report the treatment efficiency. The fluorophore HBTTPIP can effectively aggregate in GPs, restricting intramolecular rotation and activating the fluorescence of HBTTPIP. After being orally administrated, HBTTPIP/GPs are phagocytosed by intestinal macrophages, which then migrate to colonic lesions, enabling non-invasive monitoring of the severity of IBD via in vivo fluorescence imaging. Notably, oral HBTTPIP/GPs ameliorate DSS-induced IBD by inhibiting the expressions of pro-inflammatory factors and improving colonic mucosal barrier function. Furthermore, these HBTTPIP/GPs realize self-feedback of the therapeutic effects of GPs on DSS-induced colitis. The oral biomimetic probe HBTTPIP/GPs reported herein provide a novel theranostic platform for IBD, integrating non-invasive diagnosis of IBD in situ and the corresponding treatment.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging-guided surgery is one of important techniques to realize precision surgery. Although second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging has the advantages of high resolution and large penetration depth in surgical navigation, its major drawback is that NIR-II images cannot be detected by our naked eyes, which demands a high hand-eye coordination for surgeons and increases the surgical difficulty. On the contrary, visible fluorescence can be observed by our naked eyes but has poor penetration. Here, we firstly propose a kind of NIR-II and visible fluorescence hybrid navigation surgery assisted via a cocktail of aggregation-induced emission nanoparticles (AIE NPs). NIR-II imaging helps to locate deep targeted tissues and judge the residual, and visible fluorescence offers an easily surgical navigation. We apply this hybrid navigation mode in different animals and systems, and verify that it can accelerate surgical process and compatible with a visible fluorescence endoscopy. To deepen the understanding of lymph node (LN) labelling, the distribution of NPs in LNs after local administration is initially analyzed by NIR-II fluorescence wide-filed microscopy, and two fates of the NPs are summarized. An alternative strategy which combines indocyanine green and berberine is also reported as a compromise for rapidly clinical translation.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a prevalent idiopathic inflammatory disease which causes such complications as intestinal perforation, obstruction, and bleeding, and thus deleteriously impacting people's normal work and quality of life. Hence, accurate diagnosis of UC is crucial in terms of planning optimal treatment plan. Herein, a pH/reactive oxygen species (ROS) dual-responsive nanosystem (BM@EP) is developed for UC's detection and therapy. BM@EP is composed of a chromophore-drug dyad and the enteric coating. The chromophore-drug dyad (BOD-XT-DHM) is synthesized by linking the chromophore (BOD-XT-BOH) and a flavonoid drug (dihydromyricetin DHM) through boronate ester bond. The enteric coating includes Eudragit S100 and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), the former is commonly employed as a pH-dependent polymer coating excipient so as to attain colon-targeted delivery, and the latter has been widely used as an excipient for the controlled-extended release. After oral administration, BM@EP delivers the dyad (BOD-XT-DHM) into the colon and releases the dyad molecules by being triggered by the alkaline pH in t colon, thereafter upon being stimulated by overexpressed H2 O2 in the inflamed colon, the boronate bond in the dyad is broken down and correspondingly the drug DHM is released for UC therapy, simultaneously the chromophore is released for near-infrared second window (NIR-II) fluorescence and optoacoustic imaging for UC diagnosis and recovery evaluation.

D-A Type NIR-II Organic Molecules: Strategies for the Enhancement Fluorescence Brightness and Applications in NIR-II Fluorescence Imaging-Navigated Photothermal Therapy.

[PMID: 35943849 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202201158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
NIR-II fluorescence imaging (NIR-II FI) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have received broad attentions in precise tumor diagnosis and effective treatment attributed to high-resolution and deep tissue imaging, negligible invasivity, and high-efficiency treatment. Although many fluorescent molecules have been designed and conducted for NIR-II FI and PTT, it is still an enormous challenge for researchers to pioneer some rational design guidelines to improve fluorescence brightness. Organic D-A-type molecules, including small molecules and conjugated polymers, can be designed and developed to improve fluorescence brightness due to their tunable and easy functionalized chemical structures, allowing molecules tailored photophysical properties. In this review, some approaches to the development and design strategies of D-A type small molecules and conjugated polymers for the enhancement of fluorescence brightness are systemically introduced. Meanwhile, some applications of PTT and PTT-based combination therapy (such as PDT, chemotherapy, or gas therapy) assisted by NIR-II FI-based single or multiimaging technologies are classified and represented in detail as well. Finally, the current issues and challenges of NIR-II organic molecules in NIR-II FI-navigated PTT are summarized and discussed, which gives some guidelines for the future development direction of NIR-II organic molecules for NIR-II FI-navigated PTT.

Abstract
Edible crops are important in terms of food security and sustainable agriculture. Heavy-metal-ion contamination of water/soil has deleterious impacts on the growth of edible crops. Among the heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) is toxic to plants, people, and animals, as it is widely used in industry; it has become the most important metal ion in the soil/water pollution. Once the toxic Cd ion enters edible crops via the water/soil in which the crops grow, it will induce oxidative stress (overproduction of reactive oxygen species with H2O2 being the most abundant) in the crops, and strong oxidative stress leads to the crops' growth depression or inhibition. Hence, it is of great significance to accurately monitor the oxidative stress induced by Cd ions in edible crops, as the monitoring results could be employed for the early warning of Cd-ion pollution in water/soil. Herein, we design an activatable nanoprobe that can detect Cd-ion-induced oxidative stress in edible crops via near-infrared second-window (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging. The molecular probe IXD-B contains the diphenylamine-modified xanthene group acting as the electron-donating unit, bis(methylenemalononitrile)indan as the electron-accepting unit, and the methenephenylboronic acid group as the recognition moiety for H2O2 and the fluorescence quencher. The probe molecules being encapsulated by the amphiphilic DSPE-PEG2000 render the water-dispersible nanoprobe (IXD-B@DSPE-PEG2000). When the nanoprobe enters the edible crops, it can be activated by the overexpressed H2O2 therein and consequently emit strong NIR-II fluorescence signals for visualizing and tracking the oxidative stress in edible crops induced by Cd ions.

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
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
As a group of nonspecific inflammatory diseases affecting the intestine, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) exhibits the characteristics of chronic recurring inflammation, and was proven to be increasing in incidence (Kaplan, 2015). IBD induced by genetic background, environmental changes, immune functions, microbial composition, and toxin exposures (Sasson et al., 2021) primarily includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) with complicated clinical symptoms featured by abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even blood in stools (Fan et al., 2021; Huang et al., 2021). UC is mainly limited to the rectum and the colon, while CD usually impacts the terminal ileum and colon in a discontinuous manner (Ordás et al., 2012; Panés and Rimola, 2017). In recent years, many studies have suggested the lack of effective measures in the diagnosis and treatment of IBD, prompting an urgent need for new strategies to understand the mechanisms of and offer promising therapies for IBD.

Abstract
Materials with long-wavelength second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission are highly desired for in vivo dynamic visualizating of microstructures in deep tissues. Herein, by employing an atom-programming strategy, a series of highly fluorescent semiconducting oligomers (SOMs) with tunable NIR-IIb emissions are developed for bioimaging applications. After self-assembly into nanoparticles (NPs), they show good brightness, high photostability, and satisfactory biocompatibility. The SOM NPs are applied as probes for high-resolution imaging of whole-body and hind-limb blood vessels, biliary tract, and bladder with their emissions over 1500 nm. This work demonstrates an atom-programming strategy for constructing semiconducting small molecules with enhanced NIR-II fluorescence for deep-tissue imaging, affording new insight for advancing molecular design of NIR-II fluorophores.

Abstract
Although molecular design strategies for highly bright near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorophores were proposed, the lack of solid structural identification (single crystal) hinders the further development of this field. This thorny issue is addressed by performing the structure-function relationship of NIR-II dyes, as confirmed by molecular single crystal engineering. Single crystal structure analysis confirms that twisted architectures (large dihedral angles ∼70°) and loose packing patterns (intermolecular distance of ∼3.4-4.5 Å) are key elements to enhance the absolute quantum yield (QY) in the solid state. Through regulating donor-acceptor distance and donor-acceptor interactions, the resultant well-defined TBP-b-DFA fluorophore displays an absolute QY of 0.4% with an emission extending to 1400 nm, which is favorable for NIR-II bioimaging. The cerebrovascular function, including cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular reactivity of different conditions, is accurately quantified by a NIR-II fluorescence wide-field microscope. Our study provides a sight for designing NIR-II fluorophores, which is useful for studying cerebrovascular function.

Abstract
AbstractAggregation‐induced emission (AIE) is a photophysical phenomenon that a certain group of luminescent materials that become highly luminous when aggregated in a bad solvent or solid state. This year is the 20th anniversary since the AIE concept firstly proposed in 2001. Many advanced applications were gradually being explored, covering optics, electronics, energy, and bioscience and so on. At present, bibliometrics can enlighten the researchers with comprehensive sights of the achievements and trends of a specific field, which is critical for academic investigations. Herein, we presented a general bibliometric overview of AIE covering 20 years of evolution. With the assistance of Web of Science Core Collection database and several bibliometric software tools, the annual publication and citation, most influential countries/regions, most contributing authors, journals and institutions, second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) related hotspots, as well as the forecast of frontiers were demonstrated and systematically analyzed. This study summarizes the current research status in AIE research field and provides a reference for future research directions.

Abstract
Second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging has shown great potential in the field of bioimaging. However, the excitation wavelengths of most NIR-II fluorescence dyes are in the first near-infrared (NIR-I) region, which leads to limited imaging depth and resolution. To address such issue, NIR-II fluorescence dyes with 1,064 nm excitation have been developed and applied for in vivo imaging. Compared with NIR-I wavelength excited dyes, 1,064 nm excited dyes exhibit a higher tissue penetration depth and resolution. The improved performance makes these dyes have much broader imaging applications. In this mini review, we summarize recent advances in 1,064 nm excited NIR-II fluorescence fluorophores for bioimaging. Two kinds of organic fluorophores, small molecule dye and semiconducting polymer (SP), are reviewed. The general properties of these fluorophores are first introduced. Small molecule dyes with different chemical structures for variety of bioimaging applications are then discussed, followed by the introduction of SPs for NIR-II phototheranostics. Finally, the conclusion and future perspective of this field is given.

Hot-Band-Absorption-Induced Anti-Stokes Fluorescence of Aggregation-Induced Emission Dots and the Influence on the Nonlinear Optical Effect. BIOSENSORS 2021; 11:468. [PMID: 34821684 PMCID: PMC8615853 DOI: 10.3390/bios11110468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Hot-band absorption (HBA)-induced anti-Stokes fluorescence (ASF) with longer-wavelength excitation is one effective pathway to deep penetration and low autofluorescence in intravital fluorescence imaging, raising demands for fluorophores with broad spectra, high absorption, and strong emission. However, typical fluorescent dyes display some emission quenching when their concentration is increased in order to obtain brighter fluorescence. In this work, the HBA-induced ASF of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dots is reported. BPN-BBTD dots were synthesized and confirmed with a fluorescence enhancement and a considerable ASF intensity. In addition, the mechanism of ASF and the HBA process of BPN-BBTD dots were carefully validated and discussed. To obtain the full advantages of the long-wavelength excitation and the short fluorescence lifetime in deep-tissue bioimaging, a large-depth ASF confocal microscopic imaging of in vivo cerebral vasculature was conducted under the excitation of a 980 nm continuous wave laser after intravenous injection of BPN-BBTD dots. Meanwhile, the 3D structure of the cerebrovascular network was successfully reconstructed.

Abstract
Cancer is still one of the main causes of morbidity and death rate around the world, although diagnostic and therapeutic technologies are used to advance human disease treatment. Currently, surgical resection of solid tumors is the most effective and a prior remedial measure to treat cancer. Although medical treatment, technology, and science have advanced significantly, it is challenging to completely treat this lethal disease. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, including the first near-infrared region (NIR-I, 650-900 nm) and the second near-infrared region (NIR-II, 1,000-1,700 nm), plays an important role in image-guided cancer surgeries due to its inherent advantages, such as great tissue penetration, minimal tissue absorption and emission light scattering, and low autofluorescence. By virtue of its high precision in identifying tumor tissue margins, there are growing number of NIR fluorescence-guided surgeries for various living animal models as well as patients in clinical therapy. Herein, this review introduces the basic construction and operation principles of fluorescence molecular imaging technology, and the representative application of NIR-I/II image-guided surgery in biomedical research studies are summarized. Ultimately, we discuss the present challenges and future perspectives in the field of fluorescence imaging for surgical navigation and also put forward our opinions on how to improve the efficiency of the surgical treatment.
