Abstract
ConspectusPhotoluminescence nanothermometry can detect the local temperature at the submicrometer scale with minimal contact with the object under investigation. Owing to its high spatial resolution, this technique shows great potential in biomedicine in both fundamental studies as well as preclinical research. Photoluminescence nanothermometry exploits the temperature-dependent optical properties of various nanoscale optical probes including organic fluorophores, quantum dots, and carbon nanostructures. At the vanguard of these diverse optical probes, rare-earth doped nanoparticles (RENPs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in photoluminescence nanothermometry. They distinguish themselves from other luminescent nanoprobes owning to their unparalleled and versatile optical properties that include narrow emission bandwidths, high photostability, tunable lifetimes from microseconds to milliseconds, multicolor emissions spanning the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared (NIR) regions, and the ability to undergo upconversion, all with excitation of a single, biologically friendly NIR wavelength. Recent advancements in the design of novel RENPs have led to new fundamental breakthroughs in photoluminescence nanothermometry. Moreover, driven by their excellent biocompatibility, both in vitro and in vivo, their implementation in biomedical applications has also gained significant traction. However, these nanoprobes face limitations caused by the complex biological environments, including absorption and scattering of various biomolecules as well as interference from different tissues, which limit the spatial resolution and detection sensitivity in RENP temperature sensing.Among existing approaches in RENP photoluminescence nanothermometry, the most prevalent implemented mechanisms either leverage the changes in the relative intensity ratio of two emission bands or exploit the lifetimes of various excited states. Photoluminescence intensity ratio (PLIR) nanothermometry has been the mainstream method owing to the readily available spectrometers for photoluminescence acquisition. Despite offering high temperature sensitivity and spatial resolution, this technique is restricted by tedious calibration and undesirable fluctuation in photoluminescence intensity ascribed to factors such as probe concentration, excitation power density, and biochemical surroundings. Lifetime-based nanothermometry uses the lifetime of a specific transition as the contrast mechanism to infer the temperature. This modality is less susceptible to various experimental factors and is compatible with a broader range of photoluminescence nanoprobes. However, due to relatively expensive and complex instrumentation, long data acquisition, and sophisticated data analysis, lifetime-based nanothermometry is still breaking ground with recently emerging techniques lightening its path.In this Account, we provide an overview of RENP nanothermometry and their applications in biomedicine. The architectures and luminescence mechanisms of RENPs are examined, followed by the principles of PLIR and lifetime-based nanothermometry. The in-depth description of each approach starts with its basic principle of accurate temperature sensing, followed by a critical discussion of the representative techniques, applications as well as their strengths and limitations. Special emphasis is given to the emerging modality of lifetime-based nanothermometry in light of the important new developments in the field. Finally, a summary and an outlook are provided to conclude this Account.

Temperature-Activated Near-Infrared-II Fluorescence and SERS Dynamic-Reversible Probes for Long-Term Assessment of Osteoarthritis In Vivo. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202408792. [PMID: 38850105 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202408792] [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: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
The abnormal fluctuation of temperature in vivo usually reflects the progression of inflammatory diseases. Noninvasive, real-time, and accurate monitoring and imaging of temperature variation in vivo is advantageous for guiding the early diagnosis and treatment of disease, but it remains difficult to achieve. Herein, we developed a temperature-activated near-infrared-II fluorescence (NIR-II FL) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobe for long-term monitoring of temperature changes in rat arthritis and timely assessment of the status of osteoarthritis. The thermosensitive polymer bearing NIR-II FL dye was grafted onto the surface of nanoporous core-satellite gold nanostructures to form the nanoprobe, wherein the nanoprobe contains NIR-II FL and Raman reference signals that are independent of temperature change. The ratiometric FL1150/FL1550 and S1528/S2226 values of the nanoprobe exhibited a reversible conversion with temperature changes. The nanoprobe accurately distinguishes the temperature variations in the inflamed joint versus the normal joint in vivo by ratiometric FL and SERS imaging, allowing for an accurate diagnosis of inflammation. Meanwhile, it can continuously monitor fluctuations in temperature over an extended period during the onset and treatment of inflammation. The tested temperature change trend could be used as an indicator for early diagnosis of inflammation and real-time evaluation of therapeutic effects.

Lanthanide luminescence nanothermometer with working wavelength beyond 1500 nm for cerebrovascular temperature imaging in vivo. Nat Commun 2024; 15:2341. [PMID: 38491065 PMCID: PMC10943110 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-46727-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Nanothermometers enable the detection of temperature changes at the microscopic scale, which is crucial for elucidating biological mechanisms and guiding treatment strategies. However, temperature monitoring of micron-scale structures in vivo using luminescent nanothermometers remains challenging, primarily due to the severe scattering effect of biological tissue that compromises the imaging resolution. Herein, a lanthanide luminescence nanothermometer with a working wavelength beyond 1500 nm is developed to achieve high-resolution temperature imaging in vivo. The energy transfer between lanthanide ions (Er3+ and Yb3+) and H2O molecules, called the environment quenching assisted downshifting process, is utilized to establish temperature-sensitive emissions at 1550 and 980 nm. Using an optimized thin active shell doped with Yb3+ ions, the nanothermometer's thermal sensitivity and the 1550 nm emission intensity are enhanced by modulating the environment quenching assisted downshifting process. Consequently, minimally invasive temperature imaging of the cerebrovascular system in mice with an imaging resolution of nearly 200 μm is achieved using the nanothermometer. This work points to a method for high-resolution temperature imaging of micron-level structures in vivo, potentially giving insights into research in temperature sensing, disease diagnosis, and treatment development.

Abstract
The short-wave infrared (SWIR) photoluminescence lifetimes of rare-earth doped nanoparticles (RENPs) have found diverse applications in fundamental and applied research. Despite dazzling progress in the novel design and synthesis of RENPs with attractive optical properties, existing optical systems for SWIR photoluminescence lifetime imaging are still considerably restricted by inefficient photon detection, limited imaging speed, and low sensitivity. To overcome these challenges, SWIR photoluminescence lifetime imaging microscopy using an all-optical streak camera (PLIMASC) is developed. Synergizing scanning optics and a high-sensitivity InGaAs CMOS camera, SWIR-PLIMASC has a 1D imaging speed of up to 138.9 kHz in the spectral range of 900-1700 nm, which quantifies the photoluminescence lifetime of RENPs in a single shot. A 2D photoluminescence lifetime map can be acquired by 1D scanning of the sample. To showcase the power of SWIR-PLIMASC, a series of core-shell RENPs with distinct SWIR photoluminescence lifetimes is synthesized. In particular, using Er3+ -doped RENPs, SWIR-PLIMASC enables multiplexed anti-counterfeiting. Leveraging Ho3+ -doped RENPs as temperature indicators, this system is applied to SWIR photoluminescence lifetime-based thermometry. Opening up a new avenue for efficient SWIR photoluminescence lifetime mapping, this work is envisaged to contribute to advanced materials characterization, information science, and biomedicine.

Abstract
The upconversion phenomenon allows for the emission of nanoparticles (NPs) under excitation with near-infrared (NIR) light. Such property is demanded in biology and medicine to detect or treat diseases such as tumours. The transparency of biological systems for NIR light is limited to three spectral ranges, called biological windows. However, the most frequently used excitation laser to obtain upconversion is out of these ranges, with a wavelength of around 975 nm. In this article, we show an alternative - Tm3+/Er3+-doped NPs that can convert 1208 nm excitation radiation, which is in the range of the 2nd biological window, to visible light within the 1st biological window. The spectroscopic properties of the core@shell NaYF4:Tm3+@NaYF4 and NaYF4:Er3+,Tm3+@NaYF4 NPs revealed a complex mechanism responsible for the observed upconversion. To explain emission in the studied NPs, we propose an energy looping mechanism: a sequence of ground state absorption, energy transfers and cross-relaxation (CR) processes between Tm3+ ions. Next, the excited Tm3+ ions transfer the absorbed energy to Er3+ ions, which results in green, red and NIR emission at 526, 546, 660, 698, 802 and 982 nm. The ratio between these bands is temperature-dependent and can be used in remote optical thermometers with high relative temperature sensitivity, up to 2.37%/°C at 57 °C. The excitation and emission properties of the studied NPs fall within 1st and 2nd biological windows, making them promising candidates for studies in biological systems.

Abstract
Anisotropic hybrid nanostructures stand out as promising therapeutic agents in photothermal conversion-based treatments. Accordingly, understanding local heat generation mediated by light-to-heat conversion of absorbing multicomponent nanoparticles at the single-particle level has forthwith become a subject of broad and current interest. Nonetheless, evaluating reliable temperature profiles around a single trapped nanoparticle is challenging from all of the experimental, computational, and fundamental viewpoints. Committed to filling this gap, the heat generation of an anisotropic hybrid nanostructure is explored by means of two different experimental approaches from which the local temperature is measured in a direct or indirect way, all in the context of hot Brownian motion theory. The results were compared with analytical results supported by the numerical computation of the wavelength-dependent absorption efficiencies in the discrete dipole approximation for scattering calculations, which has been extended to inhomogeneous nanostructures. Overall, we provide a consistent and comprehensive view of the heat generation in optical traps of highly absorbing particles from the viewpoint of the hot Brownian motion theory.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the most dangerous medical conditions resulting in high mortality and morbidity. The increased brain temperature after IS is closely related to prognosis, making it highly significant for the early diagnosis and the progression evaluation of IS. Herein, a temperature-responsive near infrared (NIR) emissive lanthanide luminescence nanoparticle is developed for the early diagnosis and brain temperature detection of IS. After intravenous injection, the nanoparticles can pass through the damaged blood-brain barrier of the ischemic region, allowing the extravasation and enrichment of nanoparticles into the ischemic brain tissue. The NIR luminescence signals of the nanoparticles are used not only to judge the location and severity of the cerebral ischemic injury but also to report the brain temperature variation in the ischemic area through a visualized way. The results show that the designed nanoparticles can be used for the early diagnosis of ischemic stroke and minimally invasive temperature detection of cerebral ischemic tissues in transient middle cerebral artery occlusion mice model, which is expected to make the clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke more rapid and convenient, more accurately evaluate the state of brain injury in stroke patients and also guide stroke hypothermia treatment.

Abstract
Luminescence lifetime-based sensing is ideally suited to monitor biological systems due to its minimal invasiveness and remote working principle. Yet, its applicability is limited in conditions of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) induced by, e.g., short exposure times and presence of opaque tissues. Herein this limitation is overcome by applying a U-shaped convolutional neural network (U-NET) to improve luminescence lifetime estimation under conditions of extremely low SNR. Specifically, the prowess of the U-NET is showcased in the context of luminescence lifetime thermometry, achieving more precise thermal readouts using Ag2 S nanothermometers. Compared to traditional analysis methods of decay curve fitting and integration, the U-NET can extract average lifetimes more precisely and consistently regardless of the SNR value. The improvement achieved in the sensing performance using the U-NET is demonstrated with two experiments characterized by extreme measurement conditions: thermal monitoring of free-falling droplets, and monitoring of thermal transients in suspended droplets through an opaque medium. These results broaden the applicability of luminescence lifetime-based sensing in fields including in vivo experimentation and microfluidics, while, hopefully, spurring further research on the implementation of machine learning (ML) in luminescence sensing.

Abstract
Luminescence nanothermometry allows measuring temperature remotely and in a minimally invasive way by using the luminescence signal provided by nanosized materials. This technology has allowed, for example, the determination of intracellular temperature and in vivo monitoring of thermal processes in animal models. However, in the biomedical context, this sensing technology is crippled by the presence of bias (cross-sensitivity) that reduces the reliability of the thermal readout. Bias occurs when the impact of environmental conditions different from temperature also modifies the luminescence of the nanothermometers. Several sources that cause loss of reliability have been identified, mostly related to spectral distortions due to interaction between photons and biological tissues. In this work, we unveil an unexpected source of bias induced by metal ions. Specifically, we demonstrate that the reliability of Ag2S nanothermometers is compromised during the monitoring of photothermal processes produced by iron oxide nanoparticles. The observed bias occurs due to the heat-induced release of iron ions, which interact with the surface of the Ag2S nanothermometers, enhancing their emission. The results herein reported raise a warning to the community working on luminescence nanothermometry, since they reveal that the possible sources of bias in complex biological environments, rich in molecules and ions, are more numerous than previously expected.

Abstract
We present a combination of light-sheet excitation and two-dimensional fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) measurements as a simple and promising technique for three-dimensional temperature mapping. The feasibility of this approach is demonstrated with samples fabricated with sodium yttrium fluoride nanoparticles co-doped with rare-earth ytterbium and erbium ions (NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+) incorporated into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a host material. In addition, we also evaluate the technique using lipid-coated NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles immersed in agar. The composite materials show upconverted (UC) fluorescence bands when excited by a 980 nm near-infrared laser light-sheet. Using a single CMOS camera and a pair of interferometric optical filters to specifically image the two thermally-coupled bands (at 525 and 550 nm), the two-dimensional FIR and, hence, the temperature map can be readily obtained. The proposed method can take optically sectioned (confocal-like) images with good optical resolution over relatively large samples (up to the millimetric scale) for further 3D temperature reconstruction.

Abstract
Fluorescence thermometry has been propelled to the forefront of scientific attention due to its high spatial resolution and remote non-invasive detection. However, recent generations of thermometers still suffer from limited thermal sensitivity (Sr ) below 10% change per Kelvin. Herein, this work presents an ideal temperature-responsive fluorescence material through Te4+ -doped 0D Cs2 ScCl5 ·H2 O, in which isolated polyhedrons endow highly localized electronic structures, and the strong electron-phonon coupling facilitates the formation of self-trapped excitons (STEs). With rising temperature, the dramatic asymmetric expansion of the soft lattice induces increased defects, strong exciton-phonon coupling, and low thermal activation energy, which evokes a rapid de-trapping process of STEs, enabling several orders of magnitude changes in the fluorescence lifetime over a narrow temperature range. After regulating the de-trapping process with different Te4+ doping, a record-high Sr (27.36% K-1 ) of fluorescence lifetime-based detection is achieved at 325 K. The robust stability against multiple heating/cooling cycles and long-term measurements enables a low temperature uncertainty of 0.067 K. Further, the developed thermometers are demonstrated for the remote local monitoring of operating temperature on internal electronic components. It is believed that this work constitutes a solid step towards building the next generation of ultrasensitive thermometers based on low-dimensional metal halides.

Abstract
The unique tunable properties of glasses make them versatile materials for developing numerous state-of-the-art optical technologies. To design new optical glasses with tailored properties, an extensive understanding of the intricate correlation between their chemical composition and physical properties is mandatory. By harnessing this knowledge, the full potential of vitreous matrices can be unlocked, driving advancements in the field of optical sensors. We herein demonstrate the feasibility of using fluoride phosphate glasses co-doped with trivalent praseodymium (Pr3+) and ytterbium (Yb3+) ions for temperature sensing over a broad range of temperatures. These glasses possess high chemical and thermal stability, working as luminescent primary thermometers that rely on the thermally coupled levels of Pr3+ that eliminate the need for recurring calibration procedures. The prepared glasses exhibit a relative thermal sensitivity and uncertainty at a temperature of 1.0% K-1 and 0.5 K, respectively, making them highly competitive with the existing luminescent thermometers. Our findings highlight that Pr3+-containing materials are promising for developing cost-effective and accurate temperature probes, taking advantage of the unique versatility of these vitreous matrices to design the next generation of photonic technologies.

Abstract
Recently, materials revealing the upconversion (UC) phenomenon, which is a conversion of low-energy photons to higher-energy ones, have attracted considerable attention in luminescence thermometry due to the possibility of precise and remote optical thermal sensing. The most widely studied type of luminescent thermometry uses a ratiometric approach based on changes in the UC luminescence intensity, mainly of lanthanide ions' thermally coupled energy levels. In this work, NaYF4:Ho3+@NaYF4, and NaYF4:Ho3+, Er3+@NaYF4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the controlled reaction in oleic acid and octadecene at 573 K. The obtained nanoparticles had hexagonal structures, oval shapes, and average sizes of 22.5 ± 2.2 nm and 22.2 ± 2.0 nm, respectively. The spectroscopic properties of the products were investigated by measurements of the UC emission under 1151 nm laser excitation in the temperature range between 295 to 378 K. The sample doped with Ho3+ and Er3+ ions showed unique behavior of enhancing emission intensity with the temperature. The relative sensitivity determined for the NPs containing Ho3+ and Er3+ ions, reached the maximum value of 1.80%/K at 378 K. Here, we prove that the NaYF4:Ho3+, Er3+@NaYF4 system presents unique and excellent optical temperature sensing properties based on the luminescence intensity ratios of the near-infrared bands of both Ho3+ and Er3+ ions.

Abstract
Luminescence (nano)thermometry is a remote sensing technique that relies on the temperature dependency of the luminescence features (e.g., bandshape, peak energy or intensity, and excited state lifetimes and risetimes) of a phosphor to measure temperature. This technique provides precise thermal readouts with superior spatial resolution in short acquisition times. Although luminescence thermometry is just starting to become a more mature subject, it exhibits enormous potential in several areas, e.g., optoelectronics, photonics, micro- and nanofluidics, and nanomedicine. This work reviews the latest trends in the field, including the establishment of a comprehensive theoretical background and standardized practices. The reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility of the technique are also discussed, along with the use of multiparametric analysis and artificial-intelligence algorithms to enhance thermal readouts. In addition, examples are provided to underscore the challenges that luminescence thermometry faces, alongside the need for a continuous search and design of new materials, experimental techniques, and analysis procedures to improve the competitiveness, accessibility, and popularity of the technology.

Abstract
Optomagnetic nanofluids (OMNFs) are colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles (NPs) with combined magnetic and optical properties. They are especially appealing in biomedicine since they can be used as minimally invasive platforms for controlled hyperthermia treatment of otherwise difficultly accessible tumors such as intracranial ones. On the one hand, magnetic NPs act as heating mediators when subjected to alternating magnetic fields or light irradiation. On the other hand, suitably tailored luminescent NPs can provide a precise and remote thermal readout in real time. The combination of heating and thermometric properties allows, in principle, to precisely monitor the increase in the temperature of brain tumors up to the therapeutic level, without causing undesired collateral damage. In this work we demonstrate that this view is an oversimplification since it ignores the presence of relevant interactions between magnetic (γ-Fe2O3 nanoflowers) and luminescent nanoparticles (Ag2S NPs) that result in a detrimental alteration of their physicochemical properties. The magnitude of such interactions depends on the interparticle distance and on the surface properties of nanoparticles. Experiments performed in mouse brains (phantoms and ex vivo) revealed that OMNFs cannot induce relevant heating under alternating magnetic fields and fail to provide reliable temperature reading. In contrast, we demonstrate that the use of luminescent nanofluids (containing only Ag2S NPs acting as both photothermal agents and nanothermometers) stands out as a better alternative for thermally monitored hyperthermia treatment of brain tumors in small animal models.

Abstract
Aberrant cerebral glucose metabolism is related to many brain diseases, especially brain tumor. However, it remains challenging to measure the dynamic changes in cerebral glucose. Here, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) optical transducer to sensitively monitor the glucose variations in cerebrospinal fluid in vivo. The transducer consists of an oxygen-sensitive nanoparticle combined with glucose oxidase (GOx), yielding highly sensitive NIR phosphorescence in response to blood glucose change. We demonstrated long-term continuous glucose monitoring by using the NIR transducer. After subcutaneous implantation, the glucose transducer provides a strong luminescence signal that can continuously monitor blood glucose fluctuations for weeks. By using the NIR emission of the transducer, we further observed abnormal dynamic changes in cerebrospinal fluid glucose and quantitatively assessed cerebral glucose uptake rates in transgenic mice bearing brain tumors. This study provides a promising method for the diagnosis of various metabolic diseases with altered glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia cancer therapy (MHCT) is a promising antitumor therapy based on the generation of heat by magnetic nanoparticles under the influence of an alternating-current magnetic field. However, an often-overlooked factor hindering the translation of MHCT to clinics is the inability to accurately monitor temperature, thereby leading to erroneous thermal control. It is significant to address 'thermometry' during magnetic hyperthermia because numerous factors are affected by the magnetic fields employed, rendering traditional thermometry methods unsuitable for temperature estimation. Currently, there is a dearth of literature describing appropriate techniques for thermometry during MHCT. This review offers a general outline of the various modes of conventional thermometry as well as cutting-edge techniques operating at cellular/nanoscale levels (nanothermometry) as prospective thermometers for MHCT in the future.

[PMID: 35896538 PMCID: PMC9329371 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-022-00932-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
Thermal resolution (also referred to as temperature uncertainty) establishes the minimum discernible temperature change sensed by luminescent thermometers and is a key figure of merit to rank them. Much has been done to minimize its value via probe optimization and correction of readout artifacts, but little effort was put into a better exploitation of calibration datasets. In this context, this work aims at providing a new perspective on the definition of luminescence-based thermometric parameters using dimensionality reduction techniques that emerged in the last years. The application of linear (Principal Component Analysis) and non-linear (t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) transformations to the calibration datasets obtained from rare-earth nanoparticles and semiconductor nanocrystals resulted in an improvement in thermal resolution compared to the more classical intensity-based and ratiometric approaches. This, in turn, enabled precise monitoring of temperature changes smaller than 0.1 °C. The methods here presented allow choosing superior thermometric parameters compared to the more classical ones, pushing the performance of luminescent thermometers close to the experimentally achievable limits.

Abstract
Minimally invasive monitoring of brain activity is essential not only to gain understanding on the working principles of the brain, but also for the development of new diagnostic tools. In this perspective we describe how brain thermometry could be an alternative to conventional methods (e.g., magnetic resonance or nuclear medicine) for the acquisition of thermal images of the brain with enough spatial and temperature resolution to track brain activity in minimally perturbed animals. We focus on the latest advances in transcranial luminescence thermometry introducing a critical discussion on its advantages and shortcomings. We also anticipate the main challenges that the application of luminescent nanoparticles for brain thermometry will face in next years. With this work we aim to promote the development of near infrared luminescence for brain activity monitoring, which could also benefit other research areas dealing with the brain and its illnesses.

Abstract
Temperature monitoring is useful in medical diagnosis, and essential during hyperthermia treatments to avoid undesired cytotoxic effects. Aiming to control heating doses, different temperature monitoring strategies have been developed, largely based on luminescent materials, a.k.a. nanothermometers. However, for such nanothermometers to work, both excitation and emission light beams must travel through tissue, making its optical properties a relevant aspect to be considered during the measurements. In complex tissues, heterogeneity, and real-time alterations as a result of therapeutic treatment may have an effect on light-tissue interaction, hindering accuracy in the thermal reading. In this Tutorial Review we discuss various methods in which nanothermometers can be used for temperature sensing within heterogeneous environments. We discuss recent developments in optical (nano)thermometry, focusing on the incorporation of luminescent nanoparticles into complex in vitro and in vivo models. Methods formulated to avoid thermal misreading are also discussed, considering their respective advantages and drawbacks.
