Abstract
Porphyrin photosensitizers are the classic drugs in clinical photodynamic therapy (PDT), but the hypoxia of tumor environment and the rapid oxygen consumption of PDT severely weaken their therapeutic effect. A recently reported water-dependent reversible photoacidity therapy (W-RPAT) is O2-independence, providing a solution for the treatment of hypoxic tumors. In this work, TPP-O-PEG5, a porphyrin derivative with binary properties of PDT and W-RPAT, is designed and synthesized for the first time. The nanoparticles (NPs) of TPP-O-PEG5 encapsulated with DSPE-mPEG2000, an amphiphilic polymer approved by Food and Drug Administration, can simultaneously produce reactive oxygen species and H+ under irradiation of a 660 nm laser, and revert the H+ back under darkness, presenting strong phototoxicity to multiple tumor cell lines with no obvious difference between the IC50 values tested under normoxic (≈20% O2) and hypoxic (<0.5% O2) conditions. Excitingly, in vivo experiments show that the therapeutic effect of TPP-O-PEG5 NPs on large hypoxic tumors is better than that of NPe6, a clinical porphin PDT drug. This work provides a novel strategy for porphyrin photosensitizers to break through the limitation of hypoxic environment, and significantly improve the phototherapeutic effect on hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Photoacid generators (PAGs) are compounds capable of producing hydrogen protons (H+ ) upon irradiation, including irreversible and reversible PAGs, which have been widely studied in photoinduced polymerization and degradation for a long time. In recent years, the applications of PAGs in the biomedical field have attracted more attention due to their promising clinical value. So, an increasing number of novel PAGs have been reported. In this review, the recent progresses of PAGs for biomedical applications is systematically summarized, including tumor treatment, antibacterial treatment, regulation of protein folding and unfolding, control of drug release and so on. Furthermore, a concept of water-dependent reversible photoacid (W-RPA) and its antitumor effect are highlighted. Eventually, the challenges of PAGs for clinical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Far-red BODIPY-based oxime esters for photo-uncaging were designed to release molecules of interest with carboxylic acids. The low power red LED light breaks the N-O oxime ester bond and frees the caged molecules. We studied the mechanism and kinetics of the uncaging procedure using a 1H NMR spectrometer. Moreover, the drug delivery strategy to release valproic acid (VPA) on demand was tested in vitro using this far-red BODIPY photo-uncaging strategy to induce apoptosis in tumor cells.

Abstract
The last decade has seen an increasingly large number of studies reporting on the development of novel small organic conjugated systems for mitochondrial imaging exploiting optical signal transduction pathways. Mitochondria are known to play a critical role in a number of key biological processes, including cellular metabolism. Importantly, irregularities on their working function are nowadays understood to be intimately linked to a range of clinical conditions, highlighting the importance of targeting mitochondria for therapeutic benefits. In this work we carry out an in-depth evaluation on the progress to date in the field to pave the way for the realization of superior alternatives to those currently existing. The manuscript is structured by commonly used chemical scaffolds and comprehensively covers key aspects factored in design strategies such as synthetic approaches as well as photophysical and biological characterization, to foster collaborative work among organic and physical chemists as well as cell biologists.

Abstract
In the reported mechanisms of reversible photoacidity, protons were dissociated from compounds which contained hydroxyl, indazole or formed hydroxyl via intramolecular hydrogen abstraction under irradiation. Herein, a water-dependent reversible photoacidity (W-RPA) mechanism mediated by a thiadiazoloquinoxaline compound (TQs-Th-PEG5) has been found, in which the proton is not dissociated from TQs-Th-PEG5 itself but from a water locked by TQs-Th-PEG5 under the irradiation of a 660 nm laser. After turning off the laser, the produced acid will disappear quickly. This process is repeatable with no consumption of TQs-Th-PEG5. More importantly, water is indispensable. Furthermore, it is confirmed that there is no other element involved in the process except TQs-Th-PEG5, light and water. Excitingly, W-RPA therapy mediated by TQs-Th-PEG5 nanoparticle exhibits remarkable antitumor effect both in vitro and in vivo, especially in hypoxic tumors with diameter larger than 10 mm owing to its oxygen-independent feature. This study not only discovers a W-RPA mechanism but also provides a novel phototherapy strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is produced by white blood cells to defend against injury and bacteria. However, as one of the reactive oxygen species, high intracellular HClO concentration could lead to chronic diseases that affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems. To monitor HClO concentrations in bio-samples, the fluorescent probe is preferred to have: a) absorbability in the far-red window with reduced light-toxicity and improved tissue penetration depth, b) ratiometric feature for accurate analysis. In this study, we reported a far-red ratiometric HClO fluorescence probe based on BODIPY chromophore and aldoxime sensing group. Not only the color change of the probe solution can be detected by naked eyes, but also the emission ratios (I645/I670) showed a significant increase upon the introduction of HClO. More importantly, the feasibility of HClO monitoring in bio-samples was demonstrated in vitro using a confocal microscope.

Abstract
Many organelles, such as lysosomes and mitochondria, maintain a pH that is different from the cytoplasmic pH. These pH differences have important functional ramifications for those organelles. Many cellular events depend upon a well-compartmentalized distribution of H+ ions spanning the membrane for the optimal function. Cells have developed a variety of mechanisms that enable the regulation of organelle pH. However, the measurement of organellar acidity/alkalinity in living cells has remained a challenge. Currently, most existing probes for the estimation of intracellular pH show a single -organelle targeting capacity. Such probes provide data that fails to comprehensively reveal the pathological and physiological roles and connections between mitochondria and lysosomes in different species. Mitochondrial and lysosomal functions are closely related and important for regulating cellular homeostasis. Accordingly, the design of a single fluorescent probe that can simultaneously target mitochondria and lysosomes is highly desirable, enabling a better understanding of the crosstalk between these organelles. We report the development of a novel fluorescent sensor, rhodamine-coumarin pH probe (RCPP), for detection of organellar acidity/alkalinity. RCPP simultaneously moves between mitochondrion and lysosome subcellular locations, facilitating the simultaneous monitoring of pH alterations in mitochondria and lysosomes.
