Abstract
Bacterial infections have emerged as a significant contributor to global mortality and morbidity rates. Herein, we introduce a dual fluorescence "turn-on" supramolecular sensor array composed of three assembled complexes (C1-C3), formed from three positively charged fluorophores (A1-A3) and one cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]). The ability of this three-element array to simultaneously recognize 10 bacterial species within just 30 s was remarkable, boasting an impressive 100% accuracy. Additionally, the array excelled at distinguishing among various bacterial mixtures and enabled the quantitative detection of common bacterial strains. Notably, it has been skillfully applied to differentiate 10 bacterial samples in urine, achieving excellent differentiation and showcasing promising potential for medical diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Due to their extended p-orbital delocalization, conjugated polymers absorb light in the range of visible-NIR frequencies. We attempt to exploit this property to create materials that compete with inorganic semiconductors in photovoltaic and light-emitting materials. Beyond competing for applications in photonic devices, organic conjugated compounds, polymers, and small molecules have also been extended to biomedical applications like phototherapy and biodetection. Recent research on conjugated polymers has focused on bioapplications based on the absorbed light energy conversions in electric impulses, chemical energy, heat, and light emission. In this review, we describe the working principles of those photonic devices that have been applied and researched in the field of biomaterials.

Abstract
The cell membrane is a crucial component of cells, protecting their integrity and stability while facilitating signal transduction and information exchange. Therefore, disrupting its structure or impairing its functions can potentially cause irreversible cell damage. Presently, the tumor cell membrane is recognized as a promising therapeutic target for various treatment methods. Given the extensive research focused on cell membranes, it is both necessary and timely to discuss these developments, from materials design to specific biomedical applications. This review covers treatments based on functional materials targeting the cell membrane, ranging from well-known membrane-anchoring photodynamic therapy to recent lysosome-targeting chimaeras for protein degradation. The diverse therapeutic mechanisms are introduced in the following sections: membrane-anchoring phototherapy, self-assembly on the membrane, in situ biosynthesis on the membrane, and degradation of cell membrane proteins by chimeras. In each section, we outline the conceptual design or general structure derived from numerous studies, emphasizing representative examples to understand advancements and draw inspiration. Finally, we discuss some challenges and future directions in membrane-targeted therapy from our perspective. This review aims to engage multidisciplinary readers and encourage researchers in related fields to advance the fundamental theories and practical applications of membrane-targeting therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have emerged as the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Herein, we developed a dual-channel fluorescence "turn-on" sensor array, comprising six electrostatic complexes formed from one negatively charged poly(para-aryleneethynylene) (PPE) and six positively charged aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophores. The 6-element array enabled the simultaneous identification of 20 bacteria (OD600=0.005) within 30s (99.0 % accuracy), demonstrating significant advantages over the array constituted by the 7 separate elements that constitute the complexes. Meanwhile, the array realized different mixing ratios and quantitative detection of prevalent bacteria associated with urinary tract infection (UTI). It also excelled in distinguishing six simulated bacteria samples in artificial urine. Remarkably, the limit of detection for E. coli and E. faecalis was notably low, at 0.000295 and 0.000329 (OD600), respectively. Finally, optimized by diverse machine learning algorithms, the designed array achieved 96.7 % accuracy in differentiating UTI clinical samples from healthy individuals using a random forest model, demonstrating the great potential for medical diagnostic applications.

Coherent Modulation of the Aggregation Behavior and Intramolecular Charge Transfer in Small Molecule Probes for Sensitive and Long-term Nerve Agent Monitoring. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202400453.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) shows promising performance in chemical sensing relying on the change of the emission behavior of the probe molecule monomers to the aggregated product. However, whether the response contrast could be further boosted by utilizing the emission property of the aggregated probe and the aggregated product remains a big challenge. Here, an exciting AIE probe regulation strategy was proposed by coherently modulating the aggregation behavior and the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) property of the probes and thus an aggregated-to-aggregated colorimetric-fluorescent dual-mode detection was achieved. The blue emissive film obtained with the optimal AIE probe has been proven to be effective to recognize the vapor of nerve agent analog DCP in air by emitting a sharp green fluorescence. In addition, a porous polymer-based wet sensing chip loaded with the probe enables the immediate response to DCP vapor with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.7 ppb, and it was further integrated into a wearable watch device for long-term monitoring of DCP vapor up to two weeks. We expect the present probe design strategy would greatly deepen the AIE-based science and provide new insights for long-term monitoring sensors toward trace hazardous substances.

Abstract
Therapeutic devices incorporating living cells or tissues have been intensively investigated for applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Because many biological processes are governed by spatially dependent signals, programmable immobilization of materials is crucial for manipulating multiple types of cells. In this study, click chemistry substrates were introduced onto the surfaces of cells and cover glass, and the cells were fixed on the cover glass via covalent bonds for selective cell deposition. Azide group (Az)-labeled living cells were prepared by metabolic labeling with azido sugars. Following the introduction of Az, TCO (trans-cyclooctene) was metabolically labeled into the living cells by reacting with TCO-DBCO (dibenzocyclooctyne). Az and TCO in the cells were detected using DBCO-FAM (fluorescein)and tetrazine-Cy3, respectively. The mixture of Az-labeled green fluorescent protein HeLa cells and TCO-labeled red fluorescent protein HeLa cells was reacted in a culture dish in which three different cover glasses, DBCO-, tetrazine-, or methyl-coated, were added. Az- or TCO-labeled cells could be immobilized in a functional group-dependent manner. Next, tetrazine-labeled cells were incubated on TCO- or Az-labeled cell layers instead of cover glass. Functional group-dependent immobilization was also achieved in the cell layer. Introducing substrates for the click reaction could achieve cell-selective immobilization on different patterned glass surfaces, as well as cell-cell immobilization.

Abstract
Visualization of biomolecules in their native environment or imaging-aided understanding of more complex biomolecular processes are one of the focus areas of chemical biology research, which requires selective, often site-specific labeling of targets. This challenging task is effectively addressed by bioorthogonal chemistry tools in combination with advanced synthetic biology methods. Today, the smart combination of the elements of the bioorthogonal toolbox allows selective installation of multiple markers to selected targets, enabling multicolor or multimodal imaging of biomolecules. Furthermore, recent developments in bioorthogonally applicable probe design that meet the growing demands of superresolution microscopy enable more complex questions to be addressed. These novel, advanced probes enable highly sensitive, low-background, single- or multiphoton imaging of biological species and events in live organisms at resolutions comparable to the size of the biomolecule of interest. Herein, the latest developments in bioorthogonal fluorescent probe design and labeling schemes will be discussed in the context of in cellulo/in vivo (multicolor and/or superresolved) imaging schemes. The second part focuses on the importance of genetically engineered minimal bioorthogonal tags, with a particular interest in site-specific protein tagging applications to answer biological questions.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials have drawn great attention for their wide applications as optical materials. The applications of AIE materials, however, are restricted by the complicated syntheses, hydrophobic properties and short emission wavelengths. Herein, an imidazolium based hydrazone (E)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methylene)hydrazine hydrochloride (1) and a pyridinium based hydrazone (E)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-ylmethylene)hydrazine hydrochloride (2) have been synthesized. Notably, 1 and 2 in crystals show distinct green and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, with emission peaks at 530 and 688 nm, and Stokes shifts of 176 and 308 nm, respectively. After grinding the crystals to powder, the absolute fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF) of 1 is increased from 4.2% to 10.6%, and the ΦF of 2 is increased from 0.2% to 0.7%. X-ray crystallography studies together with theoretical calculations indicate that the enhanced emission of 1 arises from hydrogen bonding induced rigid network, and the fluorescence in the NIR region and large Stokes shift of 2 are attributed to its twisted molecular structure and strong push-pull effect.

Abstract
Engineering cell surfaces with macromolecules offers the potential to manipulate and control their phenotype and function for cell-based therapies. In situ construction and real-time evaluation of cell-macromolecule conjugates are vital for characterizing their dynamics, mobility, and function but remain a great challenge. Herein, we design a near-infrared (NIR) heptamethine cyanine (LS)-bearing dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) and norbornene (NB) in its structure for rapid and selective bioorthogonal "click" coupling to azide-labeled cells and tetrazine-functionalized macromolecular precursors. Specifically, only orthogonal dual "click" cell-macromolecule conjugates turn on NIR fluorescence, in which LS behaves as an AND logic gate, with azide- and tetrazine-derivatives being "input" and the emission intensity as the output. LS enables in situ construction and real-time evaluation of the process and functional effects that macromolecules "graft to" cells with high cytocompatibility. This probe is tailor-made for live-cell microscopy technologies, which may open new opportunities for promoting further developments in cell-tracking and cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Despite advances in cancer therapy, the existence of self-renewing cancer stem cells (CSC) can lead to tumor recurrence and radiation resistance, resulting in treatment failure and high mortality in patients. To address this issue, a near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced synergistic therapeutic platform has been developed by incorporating aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active phototheranostic agents and sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) prodrug into a biocompatible hydrogel, namely TBH, to suppress malignant CSC growth. Outstanding hydroxyl radical (·OH) generation and photothermal effect of the AIE phototheranostic agent actualizes Type I photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy through 660 nm NIR laser irradiation. Meanwhile, a large amount of SO2 is released from the SO2 prodrug in thermo-sensitive TBH gel, which depletes upregulated glutathione in CSC and consequentially promotes ·OH generation for PDT enhancement. Thus, the resulting TBH hydrogel can diminish CSC under 660 nm laser irradiation and finally restrain tumor recurrence after radiotherapy (RT). In comparison, the tumor in the mice that were only treated with RT relapsed rapidly. These findings reveal a double-boosting ·OH generation protocol, and the synergistic combination of AIE-mediated PDT and gas therapy provides a novel strategy for inhibiting CSC growth and cancer recurrence after RT, which presents great potential for clinical treatment.

AIE Bioconjugates for Accurate Identification and In Vivo Targeted Treatment of Bacterial Infection Based on Bioorthogonal Reaction. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2300044. [PMID: 37368932 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202300044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Targeted killing multidrug-resistant bacteria with high efficiency is urgently needed for the treatment of infection with minimal collateral damage. Herein, a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence nanoprobe is designed and synthesized with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features, which also is excellent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generator. The as-prepared AIE nanoparticles (NPs) present outstanding sterilizing rate on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and kanamycin-resistant Escherichia coli (KREC). Meanwhile, considering the differences in the surface structure of animal cells and bacteria, a non-invasive image-guided strategy for precise treatment of bacterial infection has been successfully implemented based on bioorthogonal reaction which can perform and control unnatural chemical reactions inside living organisms. The AIE NPs are thus specifically trapped on the bacterial surface while not on the normal cells, realizing real-time tracking of the infected site distribution in vivo and guiding photodynamic therapy (PDT) for eliminating bacteria in inflammation region. That significantly improves the accuracy and sterilization rate of bacterial-infected wounds with negligible side effects. The investigation developed a potential antibacterial agent and also provides an instructive way for targeting treatment based on bioorthogonal reaction.

Recent examples show that combination of photoactivatable approaches with bioorthogonal chemistry enhances the precision of targeted phototherapies and profound implications are foreseen particularly in the treatment of disperse/diffuse tumors. The extra level of on-target selectivity and improved spatial/temporal control considerably intensified related bioorthogonally assisted phototherapy research. The anticipated growth of further developments in the field justifies the timeliness of a brief summary of the state of the art.

Abstract
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing plays a pivotal role in the discovery of new antibiotics. However, the development of simple, sensitive, and rapid assessment approaches remains challenging. Herein, we report an activated alkyne-based cascade signal amplification strategy for ultrafast and high-throughput antibiotic screening. First of all, a novel water-soluble aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen is synthesized, which contains an activated alkyne group to enable fluorescence turn-on and metal-free click bioconjugation under physiological conditions. Taking advantage of the in-house established method for bacterial lysis, a number of clickable biological substances (i.e., bacterial solutes and debris) are released from the bacterial bodies, which remarkably increases the quantity of analytes. By means of the activated alkyne-mediated turn-on click bioconjugation, the system fluorescence signal is significantly amplified due to the increased labeling sites as well as the AIE effect. Such a cascade signal amplification strategy efficiently improves the detection sensitivity and thus enables ultrafast antimicrobial susceptibility assessment. By integration with a microplate reader, this approach is further applied to high-throughput antibiotic screening.

Abstract
Mitochondria (MITO) play a significant role in various physiological processes and are a key organelle associated with different human diseases including cancer, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, etc. Thus, detecting the activity of MITO in real time is becoming more and more important. Herein, a novel class of amphiphilic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active probe fluorescence (AC-QC nanoparticles) based on a quinoxalinone scaffold was developed for imaging MITO. AC-QC nanoparticles possess an excellent ability to monitor MITO in real-time. This probe demonstrated the following advantages: (1) lower cytotoxicity; (2) superior photostability; and (3) good performance in long-term imaging in vitro. Each result of these indicates that self-assembled AC-QC nanoparticles can be used as effective and promising MITO-targeted fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Overcoming the resistance to apoptosis and immunosuppression of tumor cells is a significant challenge in augmenting the effect of cancer immunotherapy. Pyroptosis, a lytic programmed cell-death pathway unlike apoptosis, is considered a type of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that can intensify the ICD process in tumor cells, releasing dramatically increased tumor-associated antigens and damage-associated molecular patterns to promote cancer immunotherapy. Herein, a tumor cell membrane-targeted aggregation-induced emission photosensitive dimer is found to be able to achieve highly efficient ICD under the synergistic effect of photodynamic and photothermal therapy. The photosensitive dimer can efficiently produce type-I reactive oxygen species (ROS) by photodynamic therapy in hypoxic tumor tissue, leading to pyroptosis by direct cell membrane damage, which is further reinforced by its photothermal effect. Furthermore, the enhanced ICD effect based on the dimer can completely eliminate the primary tumor on the seventh day of treatment and can also boost systemic antitumor immunity by generating immune memory, which is demonstrated by the superior antitumor therapeutic effects on both solid tumors and metastatic tumors when healing 4T1 tumor mouse models with poor immunogenicity.

Abstract
Targeted delivery and specific activation of photosensitizers can greatly improve the treatment outcome of photodynamic therapy. To this end, we report herein a novel dual receptor-mediated bioorthogonal activation approach to enhance the tumor specificity of the photodynamic action. It involves the targeted delivery of a biotinylated boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based photosensitizer, which is quenched in the native form by the attached 1,2,4,5-tetrazine unit, and an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting cyclic peptide conjugated with a bicycle[6.1.0]non-4-yne moiety. Only for cancer cells that overexpress both the biotin receptor and EGFR, the two components can be internalized preferentially where they undergo an inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction, leading to restoration of the photodynamic activity of the BODIPY core. By using a range of cell lines with different expression levels of these two receptors, we have demonstrated that this stepwise "deliver-and-click" approach can confine the photodynamic action on a specific type of cancer cells.

Abstract
Sub-cellular organelles play a critical role in a myriad biological phenomena. Consequently, organelle structures and functions are invariably highjacked in diverse diseases including metabolic disorders, aging, and cancer. Hence, illuminating organelle dynamics is crucial in understanding the diseased states as well as developing organelle-targeted next generation therapeutics. In this review, we outline the novel small molecules which show remarkable aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties due to restriction in intramolecular motion (RIM). We outline the examples of small molecules developed to image organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi, lysosomes, nucleus, cell membrane and lipid droplets. These AIEgens have tremendous potential for next-generation phototherapy.

Abstract
We report herein a versatile and efficient bioorthogonal strategy to actualise targeted delivery and site-specific activation of photosensitisers for precise antitumoural photodynamic therapy. The strategy involved the use of an isonitrile-caged distyryl boron dipyrromethene-based photosensitiser, labelled as NC-DSBDP, of which the photoactivities could be specifically activated upon conversion of the meso ester substituent to carboxylate initiated by the [4 + 1] cycloaddition with a tetrazine derivative. By using two tetrazines conjugated with a galactose moiety or the GE11 peptide, labelled as gal-Tz and GE11-Tz, we could selectively label the cancer cells overexpressed with the asialoglycoprotein receptor and the epidermal growth factor receptor respectively. Upon encountering the internalised NC-DSBDP, these tetrazines triggered the "ester-to-carboxylate" transformation of this compound, activating its fluorescence and reactive oxygen species generation inside the target cells. The bioorthogonal activation was also demonstrated in vivo, leading to effective photo-eradication of the tumour in nude mice.

Abstract
Both biological process detection and disease diagnosis on the basis of luminescence technology can provide comprehensive insights into the mechanisms of life and disease pathogenesis and also accurately guide therapeutics. As a family of prominent luminescent materials, Ir(III) complexes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) tendency have been recently explored at a tremendous pace for biological applications, by virtue of their various distinct advantages, such as great stability in biological media, excellent fluorescence properties and distinctive photosensitizing features. Significant breakthroughs of AIE-active Ir(III) complexes have been achieved in the past few years and great progress has been witnessed in the construction of novel AIE-active Ir(III) complexes and their applications in organelle-specific targeting imaging, multiphoton imaging, biomarker-responsive bioimaging, as well as theranostics. This review systematically summarizes the basic concepts, seminal studies, recent trends and perspectives in this area.

Abstract
Tetrazine-based bio-orthogonally activated fluorogenic probes have drawn great attention due to their excellent performance in bioimaging; however, most of them suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) problems. Herein, we developed a set of novel tetrazine-modified tetraphenylenes (TPEs) as bio-orthogonally activated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorogenic probes. Both the fluorescence and AIE features are quenched by tetrazine, which is mediated by the through-bond energy-transfer (TBET) mechanism, and are activated upon converting tetrazine to pyridazine via the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction. The activated cycloadducts displayed a notable fluorescence enhancement, a large Stokes shift, a high fluorescence quantum yield, and evident AIE-active features. Manipulating the length and position of the π-linker enables fine-tuning of the photophysical properties of the probes, while an overlong planar π-linker leads to AIE-to-ACQ transformation. We also designed bi-tetrazyl-substituted probes, which exhibited a higher turn-on ratio than the mono-tetrazyl analogs owing to the 'double-quenched' function. When they reacted with double-clickable linkers, fluorescent macrocycles were obtained because of the restriction of the free rotation of the phenyl rings of TPE. Using an organelle-pretargeting strategy, we succeeded in applying these probes for mitochondria-specific bio-orthogonal imaging in live cells under no-wash conditions, which is expected to provide a powerful tool for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Aroyl-S,N-ketene acetals are a novel highly diverse class of aggregation-induced emission fluorogens (AIEgens) with a plethora of interesting properties. An expanded compound library of more than 110 dyes set the stage for the first qualitative control and tuneability of all aspects of their photophysical properties. The interplay of substituents not only allows tuning and prediction of the emission color, but also of the intensity, and quantum yields both in solids and in the aggregated state; these can be rationalized by scrutinizing intermolecular interactions in the crystalline solid state.

Abstract
At high concentration or in the aggregated state, most of the traditional luminophores suffer from the general aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, which significantly limits their biomedical applications. On the contrary, a few fluorophores exhibit an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature which is just the opposite of ACQ. The luminophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) have exhibited noteworthy advantages to get tunable emission, excellent photostability, and biocompatibility. Incorporating AIEgens into polymer design has yielded diversified polymer systems with fascinating photophysical characteristics. Again, stimuli-responsive polymers are capable of undergoing chemical and/or physical property changes on receiving signals from single or multiple stimuli. The combination of the AIE property and stimuli responses in a single polymer platform provides a feasible and effective strategy for the development of smart polymers with promising biomedical applications. Herein, the advancements in stimuli-responsive polymers with AIE characteristics for biomedical applications are summarized. AIE-active polymers are first categorized into conventional π-π conjugated and nonconventional fluorophore systems and then subdivided based on various stimuli, such as pH, redox, enzyme, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and temperature. In each section, the design strategies of the smart polymers and their biomedical applications, including bioimaging, cancer theranostics, gene delivery, and antimicrobial examples, are introduced. The current challenges and future perspectives of this field are also stated at the end of this review article.

Abstract
Hypoxia-induced intratumoral heterogeneity poses a major challenge in tumor therapy due to the varying susceptibility to chemotherapy. Moreover, the spatial distribution patterns of hypoxic and normoxic tissues makes conventional combination therapy less effective. In this study, a tumor-acidity and bioorthogonal chemistry mediated in situ size transformable nanocarrier (NP@DOXDBCO plus iCPPAN3) was developed to spatially deliver two combinational chemotherapeutic drugs (doxorubicin (DOX) and PR104A) to combat hypoxia-induced intratumoral heterogeneity. DOX is highly toxic to tumor cells in normoxia state but less toxic in hypoxia state due to the hypoxia-induced chemoresistance. Meanwhile, PR104A is a hypoxia-activated prodrug has less toxic in normoxia state. Two nanocarriers, NP@DOXDBCO and iCPPAN3, can cross-link near the blood vessel extravasation sites through tumor acidity responsive bioorthogonal click chemistry to enhance the retention of DOX in tumor normoxia. Moreover, PR104A conjugated to the small-sized dendritic polyamidoamine (PAMAM) released under tumor acidity can penetrate deep tumor tissues for hypoxic tumor cell killing. Our study has demonstrated that this site-specific combination chemotherapy is better than the traditional combination chemotherapy. Therefore, spatial specific delivery of combinational therapeutics via in situ size transformable nanocarrier addresses the challenges of hypoxia induced intratumoral heterogeneity and provides insights into the combination therapy.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor. It is ranked the sixth most common neoplasm and the third most common cause of cancer mortality. At present, the most common treatment for HCC is surgery, but the 5-year recurrence rates are still high. Patients with early stage HCC with few nodules can be treated with resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA); while for multinodular HCC, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been the first-line treatment. In recent years, based on medical engineering cooperation, nanotechnology has been increasingly applied to the treatment of cancer. Photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy are effective for cancer. This paper summarizes the latest progress of photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy for HCC, with the aim of providing new ideas for the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
Tetraarylethylenes exhibit intriguing photophysical properties and sulfur atom frequently play a vital role in organic photoelectric materials and biologically active compounds. Tetrasubstituted vinyl sulfides, which include both sulfur atom and tetrasubstituted alkenes motifs, might be a suitable skeleton for the discovery of the new material molecules and drug with unique functions and properties. However, how to modular synthesis these kinds of compounds is still challenging. Herein, a chemo- and stereo-selective Rh(II)-catalyzed [1,4]-acyl rearrangements of α-diazo carbonyl compounds and thioesters has been developed, providing a modular strategy to a library of 63 tetrasubstituted vinyl sulfides. In this transformation, the yield is up to 95% and the turnover number is up to 3650. The mechanism of this reaction is investigated by combining experiments and density functional theory calculation. Moreover, the "aggregation-induced emission" effect of tetrasubstituted vinyl sulfides were also investigated, which might useful in functional material, biological imaging and chemicalnsing via structural modification.

Abstract
Cancer, one of the leading causes of death, has seriously threatened public health. However, there is still a lack of effective treatments. Nowadays, photodynamic therapy (PDT), relying on photosensitizers to trigger the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for killing cancer cells, has been emerging as a noninvasive anti-cancer strategy. To enhance the overall anti-cancer efficacy of PDT, various approaches including molecular design and combination with other therapeutic techniques have been proposed and implemented. Especially, photodynamic immunotherapy that can effectively evoke the body's immune response has attracted much attention. Recently, a class of photosensitizers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) character have shown unique promises, taking advantage of their profound fluorescence and ROS-generating ability in the aggregation state. Despite the promising results demonstrated by several groups, the associated studies are few and the mechanism of such AIEgen-based photodynamic immunotherapy has not been fully understood. This review discusses the recent advances in the AIEgen-based enhanced PDT with a special focus on the AIE photosensitizers for photodynamic immunotherapy, aiming to inspire more opportunities for in-depth investigation of the working principles in this emerging anti-cancer approach.

Abstract
The prevention and control of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses is a herculean task for all the countries since they greatly threaten global public health. Rapid detection and effective elimination of these pathogens is crucial for the treatment of related diseases. It is urgently demanded to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to combat bacteria, fungi, and viruses-induced infections. The emergence of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens (AIEgens) is a revolutionary breakthrough for the treatment of many diseases, including pathogenic infections. In this review, the main focus is on the applications of AIEgens for theranostic treatment of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Due to the AIE characteristic, AIEgens are promising fluorescent probes for the detection of bacteria, fungi, and viruses with excellent sensitivity and photostability. Moreover, AIEgen-based theranostic platforms can be fabricated by introducing bactericidal moieties or designing AIE photosensitizers and AIE photothermal agents. The current strategies and ongoing developments of AIEgens for the treatment of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
The interaction between over-proliferating keratinocytes and excessive activated immune cells contributes to the development and progression of psoriasis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising method to treat skin diseases due to their synergistic effect and low side effect. Cell membrane is an ideal cell-mediated drug delivery platform with inherent biocompatibility, but lacks of specific targeting properties to increase drug accumulation in the psoriatic site. Here, we develop a new PDT/PTT strategy to treat psoriasis, based on cell membrane functionalization by metabolic glycoengineering with unnatural sugars, which label cell membranes with chemical tags for subsequent targeting. In our study, in order to enhance the PDT/PTT effect, N3-labeled cell membrane-derived nanovesicles coated with IR-780 nanoparticals (N3-NV-INPs) are constructed, which can specifically recognize DBCO-modified psoriatic lesions through bioorthogonal click chemistry to achieve targeted PDT/PTT effect. The results showed that N3-NV-INPs could specifically target the psoriatic lesions, enhance the synergistic effect of PDT/PTT under the irradiation of near-infrared light, exhaust excessive proliferation of keratinocytes, regulate immunity, reduce the release of cytokines, such as IL-17, IL-22, TNF-α, improve epidermal hyperplasia, and effectively relieve the symptoms of psoriasis. Taken together, we constructed cellular nanovesicles based on an alternative artificial targeting strategy to enhance PDT/PTT effect in psoriasis, which shows great potential in clinical application. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The major challenge in the treatment of psoriasis is how to effectively deliver drugs to the lesions to exhaust overproliferating keratinocytes and modulate immunity. A newly-developed cell membrane-coating technology combined with biorthogonal targeted delivery promotes more drug accumulation at the lesions of the disease. Incorporation of an effective photosensitizer into the lesions of psoriasis site results in exert PDT/PTT effect under the irradiation of near-infrared light. The synergistic PDT/PTT effect can effectively exhaust keratinocytes and immune cells in the epidermis and dermis, reduce the release of inflammatory cytokines, and relieve the symptoms of psoriasis. This unique functional cell membrane nanovesicles combined with bioorthogonal targeting is applied to enhance the PDT/PTT effect in psoriasis and may provide a solution for the clinical treatment of other inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
Pure organic room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials have been suggested to be promising bioimaging materials due to their good biocompatibility and long emission lifetime. Herein, we report a class of RTP materials. These materials are developed through the simple introduction of an aromatic carbonyl to a tetraphenylpyrrole molecule and also exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. These molecules show non-emission in solution and purely phosphorescent emission in the aggregated state, which are desirable properties for biological imaging. Highly crystalline nanoparticles can be easily fabricated with a long emission lifetime (20 μs), which eliminate background fluorescence interference from cells and tissues. The prepared nanoparticles demonstrate two-photon absorption characteristics and can be excited by near infrared (NIR) light, making them promising materials for deep-tissue optical imaging. This integrated aggregation-induced phosphorescence (AIP) strategy diversifies the existing pool of bioimaging agents to inspire the development of bioprobes in the future.

Abstract
Metabolic glycan labeling (MGL) followed by bioorthogonal chemistry provides a powerful tool for tumor imaging and therapy. However, selectively metabolic labeling of cells or tissues of interest remains a challenge. Particularly, owing to tumor heterogeneity including tumor subtypes and interpatient heterogeneity, it is far more difficult to realize tumor-cell-selective metabolic labeling for precise diagnosis. Inspired by nature, we designed azidosugar-functionalized metal-organic frameworks camouflaged with cancer cell membranes to accomplish cancer-cell-selective MGL in vivo. With abundant receptors, this biomimetic platform not only selectively targets homotypic cells but also realizes different breast cancer subtype-selective MGL. Moreover, the endo/lysosomal-escaped ZIF-8 can make azidosugar escape from lysosomes and accelerate its metabolic incorporation. This strategy also takes advantage of cancer-tissue-derived cell membranes, which may have huge potential for personalized diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive intelligent system can realize the specific release and uniform distribution of chemotherapy drugs in tumor tissues, to achieve high-efficiency and low-toxic treatment of tumors. In this paper, drug delivery system TKD@RBCm-Mn2O3-ART with the above characteristics was constructed. We synthesized hollow mesoporous manganese trioxide (Mn2O3) nanoparticles and firstly found that they owned time-dependent size transformation feature in simulated TME. The particle size decreased from 318 nm to 50 nm and 6 nm at 1 h and 4 h in simulated TME, respectively. Then artemisinin (ART) was loaded into Mn2O3to realize the co-delivery of Mn2+and ART. The modification of homologous red cell membrane (RBCm) and TKD peptide was aimed at long circulation and tumor targeting in the body.In vitroresults demonstrated that in the presence of GSH, the cumulative drug release percentage could achieve 97.5%. Meanwhile, Mn2O3exhibited a good imaging capability in tumor, with the relaxation rate of 6.3113 mM-1s-1. After entering into MCF-7 cells, TKD@RBCm-Mn2O3/ART synchronously released Mn2+and ART to generate large amount of ROS and induce DNA damage.In vivoresults proved TKD@RBCm-Mn2O3/ART could arrive the deep area of solid tumors and achieve accurate diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an alternative modality for the therapy of diseases such as cancer in a minimally invasive manner. The essential photosensitizer, which acts as a catalyst when absorbing light, converts oxygen into cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that ablate malignant cells through apoptosis and/or necrosis, destroy tumor microvasculature, and stimulate immunity. An activatable photosensitizer whose photoactivity could be turned on by a specific disease biomarker is capable of distinguishing healthy cells from diseased cells, thereby reducing off-target photodamage. In this Minireview, we highlight progress in activatable organic photosensitizers over the past five years, including: (i) biorthogonal activatable BODIPYs; (ii) activatable Se-rhodamine with single-cell resolution; (iii) silicon phthalocyanine targeting oxygen tension; (iv) general D-π-A scaffolds; and (v) AIEgens. The potential challenges and opportunities for developing new types of activatable organic photosensitizers to overcome the hypoxia dilemmas of photodynamic therapy are discussed.

Abstract
Capture of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with high efficiency and high purity holds great value for potential clinical applications. Besides the existing problems of contamination from blood cells and plasma proteins, unknown/down-regulated expression of targeting markers (e.g., antigen, receptor, etc.) of CTCs have questioned the reliability and general applicability of current CTCs capture methodologies based on immune/aptamer-affinity. Herein, a cell-engineered strategy is designed to break down such barriers by employing the cell metabolism as the leading force to solve key problems. Generally, through an extracellular vesicle generation way, the cell-released magnetic vesicles inherited parent cellular membrane characteristics are produced, and then functionalized with dibenzoazacyclooctyne to target and isolate the metabolic labeled rare CTCs. This strategy offers good reliability and broader possibilities to capture different types of tumor cells, as proven by the capture efficiency above 84% and 82% for A549 and HepG2 cell lines as well as an extremely low detection limitation of 5 cells. Moreover, it enabled high purity enrichment of CTCs from 1 mL blood samples of tumor-bearing mice, only ≈5-757 white blood cells are non-specific caught, ignoring the potential phenotypic fluctuation associated with the cancer progression.

Abstract
Sialic acid (SA) plays important roles in various biological and pathological processes. Methods for monitoring and detection of SA are of great significance in terms of fundamental research, cancer diagnostics, and therapeutics, which are still limited until now. Here, a phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized pyrene derivative, 4-(4-(pyren-1-yl)butyramido)phenylboronic acid (Py-PBA), was synthesized and used as a building block for self-assembling into hydrophilic nanorods. The Py-PBA nanorods (Py-PBA NRs) featured highly specific and efficient imaging of SA on living cells with the advantages of excellent fluorescence stability, good biocompatibility, and unique two-photon fluorescence properties. Meanwhile, the assembled Py-PBA NRs could efficiently generate 1O2 under two-photon irradiation, making it an excellent candidate for photodynamic therapy. This nanoplatform realized in situ recognition and two-photon imaging of SA on the cell surface as well as effective cancer cell therapy, providing a potential method for simple and selective analysis of SA in living cells and a new prospect for image-guided therapy.

Abstract
Systematically dissecting the molecular basis of the cell surface as well as its related biological activities is considered as one of the most cutting-edge fields in fundamental sciences. The advent of various advanced cell imaging techniques allows us to gain a glimpse of how the cell surface is structured and coordinated with other cellular components to respond to intracellular signals and environmental stimuli. Nowadays, cell surface-related studies have entered a new era featured by a redirected aim of not just understanding but artificially manipulating/remodeling the cell surface properties. To meet this goal, biologists and chemists are intensely engaged in developing more maneuverable cell surface labeling strategies by exploiting the cell's intrinsic biosynthetic machinery or direct chemical/physical binding methods for imaging, sensing, and biomedical applications. In this review, we summarize the recent advances that focus on the visualization of various cell surface structures/dynamics and accurate monitoring of the microenvironment of the cell surface. Future challenges and opportunities in these fields are discussed, and the importance of cell surface-based studies is highlighted.

Bioorthogonal Coordination Polymer Nanoparticles with Aggregation-Induced Emission for Deep Tumor-Penetrating Radio- and Radiodynamic Therapy. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2021; 33:e2007888.

Abstract
Radiodynamic therapy (RDT), an emerging therapeutic approach for cancer treatment by employing ionizing irradiation to induce localized photodynamic therapy (PDT) can overcome the drawbacks of the limited penetration depth for traditional PDT and the unconcentrated energy in the tumor for traditional radiotherapy (RT). Taking advantage of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers with bright fluorescence and efficient singlet oxygen production in the aggregate state, Hf-AIE coordination polymer nanoparticles (CPNs), which show both strong RT and RDT effect under X-ray irradiation, are developed. Furthermore, to enhance the tumor accumulation and prolong the tumor retention of the CPNs, bioorthogonal click chemistry is applied in the system through coupling between dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)-modified CPNs (Hf-AIE-PEG-DBCO) (PEG: poly(ethylene glycol)) and azide groups on the cell membrane formed by metabolic glycoengineering. Thanks to the high penetration of X-ray irradiation, the bioorthogonal-assisted RT and RDT combination therapy realizes significant killing of cancer cells without showing noticeable biotoxicity after intravenous administration of CPNs.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has proven to be a viable strategy to achieve highly efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in bulk by restricting molecular motions. Here, we show that by utilizing triphenylamine (TPA) as an electronic donor that connects to an acceptor via an sp3 linker, six TPA-based AIE-active RTP luminophores were obtained. Distinct dual phosphorescence bands emitting from largely localized donor and acceptor triplet emitting states could be recorded at lowered temperatures; at room temperature, only a merged RTP band is present. Theoretical investigations reveal that the two temperature-dependent phosphorescence bands both originate from local/global minima from the lowest triplet excited state (T1). The reported molecular construct serves as an intermediary case between a fully conjugated donor-acceptor system and a donor/acceptor binary mix, which may provide important clues on the design and control of high-freedom molecular systems with complex excited-state dynamics.
