Abstract
Cancer stem cells are pivotal players in tumors initiation, growth, and metastasis. While several markers have been identified, there remain challenges particularly in heterogeneous malignancies like adult soft tissue sarcomas, where conventional markers are inherently overexpressed. Here, we designed BODIPY scaffold fluorescence probes (BD-IMC-1, BD-IMC-2) that activate via disaggregation targeting for cyclooxygenase (COX), a potential marker for CSCs in sarcoma in clinical pathology. Based on their structures, BD-IMC-1 showcased higher susceptibility to disaggregation compared to BD-IMC-2, consistent with their selective interaction with COX. Notably, the BD-IMC-1 revealed positive cooperativity binding to COX-2 at sub-micromolar ranges. Both probes showed significant fluorescence turn-on upon LPS or PMA triggered COX-2 upregulation in live RAW264.7, HeLa, and human sarcoma cell line (Saos-LM2) up to 2-fold increase with negligible toxicity. More importantly, the BD-IMC-1 demonstrated their practical imaging for COX-2 positive cells in paraffin-fixed human sarcoma tissue. Considering the fixed tissues are most practiced pathological sample, our finding suggests a potential of disaggregation activated chemosensor for clinical applications.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (PA) rhodamine dyes are widely used in single-molecule tracking (SMT) and a variety of other fluorescence-based imaging modalities. One of the most commonly employed scaffolds uses a diazoketone to lock the rhodamine in the nonfluorescent closed form, which can be activated with 405 nm light. However, poor properties of previously reported dyes require significant washing, which can be resource- and cost-intensive, especially when performing microscopy in a large scale and high-throughput fashion. Here, we report improved diazoketorhodamines that perform exceptionally well in single-molecule tracking microscopy. We also report on the optimization of an improved synthetic method for further iteration and tailoring of diazoketorhodamines to the requirements of a specific user.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a valuable green oxidant with a wide range of applications. Furthermore, it is recognized as a possible future energy carrier achieving safe operation, storage and transportation. The photochemical production of H2O2 serves as a promising alternative to the waste- and energy-intensive anthraquinone process. Following the 12 principles of Green Chemistry, we demonstrate a facile and general approach to sustainable catalyst development utilizing earth-abundant iron and biobased sources only. We developed several iron oxide (FeOx) nanoparticles (NPs) for successful photochemical oxygen reduction to H2O2 under visible light illumination (445 nm). Achieving a selectivity for H2O2 of >99%, the catalyst material could be recycled for up to four consecutive rounds. An apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 0.11% was achieved for the photochemical oxygen reduction to H2O2 with visible light (445 nm) at ambient temperatures and pressures (9.4-14.8 mmol g-1 L-1). Reaching productivities of H2O2 of at least 1.7 ± 0.3 mmol g-1 L-1 h-1, production of H2O2 was further possible via sunlight irradiation and in seawater. Finally, a detailed mechanism has been proposed on the basis of experimental investigation of the catalyst's properties and computational results.

Abstract
Human pancreatic lipase (hPL) is a crucial digestive enzyme responsible for the digestion of dietary lipids in humans, and inhibition of hPL is effective in reducing triglyceride intake, thereby preventing and treating obesity. In this study, a series of fatty acids with different carbon chain lengths were constructed to the fluorophore resorufin based on the substrate preference of hPL. Among them, RLE was found to have the best combination of stability, specificity, sensitivity and reactivity towards hPL. Under physiological conditions, RLE can be rapidly hydrolyzed by hPL and released to resorufin, which triggered approximately 100-fold fluorescence enhancement at 590 nm. RLE was successfully applied for sensing and imaging of endogenous PL in living systems with low cytotoxicity and high imaging resolution. Moreover, a visual high-throughput screening platform was established using RLE, and the inhibitory effects of hundreds of drugs and natural products toward hPL were evaluated. Collectively, this study reports a novel and highly specific enzyme-activatable fluorogenic substrate for hPL that could serve as a powerful tool for monitoring hPL activity in complex biological systems and showcases the potential to explore physiological functions and rapid screening of inhibitors.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic health condition characterized by the accumulation of excessive body fat which can lead to and exacerbate cardiovascular disease, type-II diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer through systemic inflammation. Unfortunately, visualizing key mediators of the inflammatory response, such as monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), in a selective manner is a profound challenge owing to an overlapping substrate scope that involves arachidonic acid (AA). Specifically, these enzymes work in concert to generate AA, which in the context of obesity, has been implicated to control appetite and energy metabolism. In this study, we developed the first selective activity-based sensing probes to detect MGL (PA-HD-MGL) and FAAH (PA-HD-FAAH) activity via photoacoustic imaging. Activation of PA-HD-MGL and PA-HD-FAAH by their target enzymes resulted in 1.74-fold and 1.59-fold signal enhancements, respectively. Due to their exceptional selectivity profiles and deep-tissue photoacoustic imaging capabilities, these probes were employed to measure MGL and FAAH activity in a murine model of obesity. Contrary to conflicting reports suggesting levels of MGL can be attenuated or elevated, our results support the latter. Indeed, we discovered a marked increase of both targets in the gastrointestinal tract. These key findings set the stage to uncover the role of the endocannabinoid pathway in obesity-mediated inflammation.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of human prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (COX-2) to guide the formation of fluorescent pyrroles through the Paal-Knorr reaction resulting in the discovery of a central motif. This initial discovery prompted further exploration of this motif for the design of COX-2 inhibitors through the modifications of the substituents on the pyrrole core. This effort led to the discovery of a set of pyrroles whose activity was comparable to Celecoxib, an orally prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory COX-2 inhibitor. Furthermore, structure-activity relationship (SAR) data, important for the discovery of COX-2 inhibitors, has been obtained.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is up-regulated in inflammatory tissues and many premalignant and malignant tumors. Assessment of COX-2 protein in vivo, therefore, promises to be a powerful strategy to distinguish pathologic cells from normal cells in a complex disease setting. Herein, we report the first redox-activatable COX-2 probe, fluorocoxib Q (FQ), for in vivo molecular imaging of pathogenesis. FQ inhibits COX-2 selectively in purified enzyme and cell-based assays. FQ exhibits extremely low fluorescence and displays time- and concentration-dependent fluorescence enhancement upon exposure to a redox environment. FQ enters the cells freely and binds to the COX-2 enzyme. FQ exhibits high circulation half-life and metabolic stability sufficient for target site accumulation and demonstrates COX-2-targeted uptake and retention in cancer cells and pathologic tissues. Once taken up, it undergoes redox-mediated transformation into a fluorescent compound fluorocoxib Q-H that results in high signal-to-noise contrast and differentiates pathologic tissues from non-pathologic tissues for real-time in vivo imaging.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation. NO's contributions to cancer are of particular interest due to its context-dependent bioactivities. For example, immune cells initially produce cytotoxic quantities of NO in response to the nascent tumor. However, it is believed that this fades over time and reaches a concentration that supports the tumor microenvironment (TME). These complex dynamics are further complicated by other factors, such as diet and oxygenation, making it challenging to establish a complete picture of NO's impact on tumor progression. Although many activity-based sensing (ABS) probes for NO have been developed, only a small fraction have been employed in vivo, and fewer yet are practical in cancer models where the NO concentration is <200 nM. To overcome this outstanding challenge, we have developed BL660-NO, the first ABS probe for NIR bioluminescence imaging of NO in cancer. Owing to the low intrinsic background, high sensitivity, and deep tissue imaging capabilities of our design, BL660-NO was successfully employed to visualize endogenous NO in cellular systems, a human liver metastasis model, and a murine breast cancer model. Importantly, its exceptional performance facilitated two dietary studies which examine the impact of fat intake on NO and the TME. BL660-NO provides the first direct molecular evidence that intratumoral NO becomes elevated in mice fed a high-fat diet, which became obese with larger tumors, compared to control animals on a low-fat diet. These results indicate that an inflammatory diet can increase NO production via recruitment of macrophages and overexpression of inducible nitric oxide synthase which in turn can drive tumor progression.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has emerged as a powerful technique for the high resolution visualization of biological processes within deep tissue. Through the development and application of exogenous targeted contrast agents and activatable probes that can respond to a given cancer biomarker, researchers can image molecular events in vivo during cancer progression. This information can provide valuable details that can facilitate cancer diagnosis and therapy monitoring. In this tutorial review, we provide a step-by-step guide to select a cancer biomarker and subsequent approaches to design imaging agents for in vivo use. We envision this information will be a useful summary to those in the field, new members to the community, and graduate students taking advanced imaging coursework. We also highlight notable examples from the recent literature, with emphasis on the molecular designs and their in vivo PA imaging performance. To conclude, we provide our outlook and future perspective in this exciting field.

Exploring and understanding the interaction of changes in the activities of various enzymes, such as proteases, phosphatases, and oxidoreductases with tumor invasion, proliferation, and metastasis is of great significance for early cancer diagnosis. To detect the activity of tumor-related enzymes, various molecular probes have been developed with different imaging methods, including optical imaging, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and so on. In this review, we first describe the biological functions of various enzymes and the selectively recognized chemical linkers or groups. Subsequently, we systematically summarize the design mechanism of imaging probes and different imaging methods. Finally, we explore the challenges and development prospects in the field of enzyme activity detection. This comprehensive review will provide more insight into the design and development of enzyme activated molecular probes.

Abstract
The development of a rapid and intuitive method for the detection of a specific small molecule biomarker is important for understanding the pathogenesis of relevant diseases. Described here is the design and evaluation of an HClO-specific triggered self-immolative fluorescent sensor (RESClO) based on the structure of an N-protected Resorufin dye. Due to the interrupted π-conjugated structure of the Resorufin dye, the free sensor showed very weak absorption and fluorescence. It can quickly complete the response to HClO (within 10 s) with high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD = 16.8 nM) in aqueous solution. The sensor can be made into test strips to quickly detect HClO in the environment by obvious changes in color and fluorescence. It was successfully used for bioimaging of exogenous and endogenous HClO in cells and zebra fish. More importantly, it can also be used for visual imaging of mouse arthritis models. Thus, sensor RESClO can provide a simple and promising visual analytical tool for the detection of HClO in the environment and the early diagnosis of HClO-mediated related diseases.

Abstract
We report a crystallization-induced emission fluorophore to quantitatively interrogate the polarity of aggregated proteins. This solvatochromic probe, namely "AggRetina" probe, inherently binds to aggregated proteins and exhibits both a polarity-dependent fluorescence emission wavelength shift and a viscosity-dependent fluorescence intensity increase. Regulation of its polarity sensitivity was achieved by extending the conjugation length. Different proteins bear diverse polarity upon aggregation, leading to different resistance to proteolysis. Polarity primarily decreases during protein misfolding but viscosity mainly increases upon the formation of insoluble aggregates. We quantified the polarity of aggregated protein-of-interest in live cells via HaloTag bioorthogonal labeling, revealing polarity heterogeneity within cellular aggregates. The enriched micro-environment details inside misfolded and aggregated proteins may correlate to their bio-chemical properties and pathogenicity.

Abstract
The alarming increase of antimicrobial resistance urges rapid diagnosis and pathogen specific infection management. This work reports a rapid screening assay for pathogenic bacteria resistant to lactam antibiotics. We designed a fluorogenic N-cephalosporin caged 3,7-diesterphenoxazine probe CDA that requires sequential activations to become fluorescent resorufin. A series of studies with recombinant β-lactamases and clinically prevalent pathogens including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae and Serratia marcescens demonstrated that CDA possessed superior sensitivity in reporting the activity of β-lactamases including cephalosporinases and carbapenemases. After a simple filtration, lactam-resistant bacteria in urine samples could be detected at 103 colony-forming units per milliliter within 2 hours.

Abstract
Unlike amyloid aggregates, amorphous protein aggregates with no defined structures have been challenging to target and detect in a complex cellular milieu. In this study, we rationally designed sensors of amorphous protein aggregation from aggregation-induced-emission probes (AIEgens). Utilizing dicyanoisophorone as a model AIEgen scaffold, we first sensitized the fluorescence of AIEgens to a nonpolar and viscous environment mimicking the interior of amorphous aggregated proteins. We identified a generally applicable moiety (dimethylaminophenylene) for selective binding and fluorescence enhancement. Regulation of the electron-withdrawing groups tuned the emission wavelength while retaining selective detection. Finally, we utilized the optimized probe to systematically image aggregated proteome upon proteostasis network regulation. Overall, we present a rational approach to develop amorphous protein aggregation sensors from AIEgens with controllable sensitivity, spectral coverage, and cellular performance.

Abstract
Nerve agents are among the world's deadliest poisons, and the target enzyme is acetylcholinesterase (AChE). To better diagnosis nerve agent poisonings, a reliable diagnostic method for both nerve agents and AChE is desirable. Herein, we synthesized a series of fluorescent sensors for both real nerve agents and acetylcholinesterase activity detection. Among these sensors, HBQ-AE exhibited a fast response rate (within 10 s for nerve agent and 8 min for AChE), good sensitivity (the limit of detection is 6 nM and 0.2 U/mL) and a high off/on contrast. To the best of our knowledge, HBQ-AE is the first fluorescence sensor for nerve agents and AChE activity detection. The fluorescent change of HBQ-AE from nonfluorescence to blue fluorescence (nerve agent) or orange fluorescence (AChE) by excitation at 365 nm can be easily observed with the naked eye. HBQ-AE was successfully applied to image nerve agents and AChE activity in living cells. Moreover, HBQ-AE is the vital member to construct a test paper that can be employed to detect and diagnose chemical warfare agents.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) plays essential roles on various physiological and pathological processes of living systems as a short-lived and highly reactive nitrogen (RNS) specie. The construction of novel long-wavelength fluorescent probes with high specificity towards ONOO- for imaging in vivo is still demand urgently. About this work, a novel resorufin-based red-emitting fluorescent probe for tracking ONOO- has been constructed. The probe RFP exhibited high selectivity towards ONOO- anion over other analytes. Utilizing the probe, ONOO- could be directly observed by the naked eye. Furthermore, RFP was successfully applied for imaging endogenous ONOO- in RAW264.7 cells and inflammatory mice. This work offers a convenient method for monitoring the intercellur ONOO- that be expected to be applied for explaining the bio-functional roles of ONOO- in living system.

Abstract
Facile synthesis of 6- or 7-substituted coumarin-indomathacin hybrids (Coum-IDM) has been developed for specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) binding along with their intrinsic fluorescent properties. A mild and rapid condensation/dehydrative cyclization of 2-hydroxy benzaldehyde with activated indomethacin was carried out in one step under ultrasound irradiation. Coum-IDM4 was found to be the best of this series as it presented significant binding to COX-2 and exhibited higher fluorescent intensity in cancer cells than in normal cells. Therefore, in the light of drug development tools, this new hybrid system could be a potential targeted probe for COX-2-overexpressed inflammation and cancer-cell tracking.

Abstract
Until recently, there were no generalizable methods for assessing the effects of post-translational regulation on enzymatic activity. Activity-based sensing (ABS) has emerged as a powerful approach for monitoring small-molecule and enzyme activities within living systems. Initial examples of ABS were applied for measuring general enzymatic activity; however, a recent focus has been placed on increasing the selectivity to monitor a single enzyme or isoform. The highest degree of selectivity is required for differentiating between isoforms, where the targets display significant structural similarities as a result of a gene duplication or alternative splicing. This Minireview highlights key examples of small-molecule isoform-selective probes with a focus on the relevance of isoform differentiation, design strategies to achieve selectivity, and applications in basic biology or in the clinic.

Abstract
A luminescent bis-porphyrin–salen–UO2 complex, showing a significant fluorescence light-up response upon reacting with DMMP (a simulant of nerve agents), is reported. The fluorescence change of this complex by excitation at 365 nm can be clearly observed with the naked eye, and this complex was successfully employed to construct a test paper to detect nerve agents. The exposure of a nerve agent simulant to a fluorogenic sensor results in a significant increase in fluorescence response, allowing the construction of a paper test for the naked-eye detection of DMMP.![]()

Abstract
The fluorescence imaging technique has attracted increasing attention in the detection of various biological molecules in situ and in real-time owing to its inherent advantages including high selectivity and sensitivity, outstanding spatiotemporal resolution and fast feedback. In the past few decades, a number of fluorescent probes have been developed for bioassays and imaging by exploiting different fluorophores. Among various fluorophores, resorufin exhibits a high fluorescence quantum yield, long excitation/emission wavelength and pronounced ability in both fluorescence and colorimetric analysis. This fluorophore has been widely utilized in the design of responsive probes specific for various bioactive species. In this review, we summarize the advances in the development of resorufin-based fluorescent probes for detecting various analytes, such as cations, anions, reactive (redox-active) sulfur species, small molecules and biological macromolecules. The chemical structures of probes, response mechanisms, detection limits and practical applications are investigated, which is followed by the discussion of recent challenges and future research perspectives. This review article is expected to promote the further development of resorufin-based responsive fluorescent probes and their biological applications.

Abstract
Lighting up the relevant lesion boundaries during operations is vital for guiding the effective resection of hepatopathic tissue.
Lighting up the relevant lesion boundaries during operations is vital for guiding the effective resection of hepatopathic tissue. We envisioned that molecular-logic gates, which are known for their excellent digital correlation between input and output signals, could be used to facilitate differential visualization of lesion boundaries. Herein, a series of flexible molecules, naphthalene imide-indole derivatives (IAN) were prepared and evaluated as molecular-logic gates. The input and output signals of the IAN derivatives were successfully used to highlight different hepatopathic regions in order to facilitate boundary differentiation. The IAN derivatives produce different signals due to collaborative changes in the conformation and structure. The hepatopathy-related enzymes (COX-2 and NAT) were used to induce conformational and structural changes in IAN derivatives. Based on these enzyme induced synergistic effects, IAN can sensitively emit different coloured signals such as green, cyan and blue (output signals) as a function of the different input signals, i.e. the different activity of COX-2 and NAT in solution and living cells. Significantly, the IAN derivatives were successfully used to distinguish the boundaries of hepatopathic lesions in tissues after spraying with IAN derivatives (mild cirrhosis, severe cirrhosis, in addition to early and late hepatocellular carcinoma) under a hand held lamp at 365 nm by naked eye.

Abstract
Monitoring fluctuations in enzyme overexpression facilitates early tumor detection and excision. An AIEgen probe (DQM-ALP) for the imaging of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was synthesized. The probe consists of a quinoline-malononitrile (QM) core decorated with hydrophilic phosphate groups as ALP-recognition units. The rapid liberation of DQM-OH aggregates in the presence of ALP resulted in aggregation-induced fluorescence. The up-regulation of ALP expression in tumor cells was imaged using DQM-ALP. The probe permeated into 3D cervical and liver tumor spheroids for imaging spatially heterogeneous ALP activity with high spatial resolution on a two-photon microscopy platform, providing the fluorescence-guided recognition of sub-millimeter tumorigenesis. DQM-ALP enabled differentiation between tumor and normal tissue ex vivo and in vivo, suggesting that the probe may serve as a powerful tool to assist surgeons during tumor resection.
