Abstract
The development of circularly polarized luminescent materials with a large luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) is continuing to be a big challenge. Here, we present a general approach for amplifying circular polarization of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) through intergrating molecular self-assembly and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Molecular self-assembly could amplify the CPL performance. Subsequently, the composites built of nanoassemblies and achiral silver nanowires (AgNWs) show intense CPL activity with an amplified glum value. By applying an external magnetic field, the CPL activity of the nanoassemblies/AgNWs composites has been significantly enhanced, confirming a plasmon-enhanced circular polarization. Our design strategy based on SPR-enhanced circular polarization of the chiral emissive systems suggests that combining plasmonic nanomaterials with chiral organic materials could aid in the development of novel CPL active nanomaterials.

Abstract
One of the most relevant drawbacks in medicine is the ability of drugs and/or imaging agents to reach cells. Nanotechnology opened new horizons in drug delivery, and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) represent a promising delivery vehicle for their adjustable size and shape, high-density surface ligand attachment, etc. AgNPs cellular uptake involves different endocytosis mechanisms, including lipid raft-mediated endocytosis. Since static magnetic fields (SMFs) exposure induces plasma membrane perturbation, including the rearrangement of lipid rafts, we investigated whether SMF could increase the amount of AgNPs able to pass the peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) plasma membrane. To this purpose, the effect of 6-mT SMF exposure on the redistribution of two main lipid raft components (i.e., disialoganglioside GD3, cholesterol) and on AgNPs uptake efficiency was investigated. Results showed that 6 mT SMF: (i) induces a time-dependent GD3 and cholesterol redistribution in plasma membrane lipid rafts and modulates gene expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), (ii) increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and lipid peroxidation, (iii) does not induce cell death and (iv) induces lipid rafts rearrangement, that, in turn, favors the uptake of AgNPs. Thus, it derives that SMF exposure could be exploited to enhance the internalization of NPs-loaded therapeutic or diagnostic molecules.

Abstract
The development of photonic materials with high photoluminescence is always a challenge in photochemistry and photophysics. Here we present a general approach for enhancing photon upconversion through aggregation and further via surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Luminescent nanoparticles from a tetraphenylethylene derivative were fabricated, showing excellent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior. By mixing with a triplet sensitizer platinum octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP), aggregation-induced photon upconversion (iPUC) could be achieved, resulting in an enhancement of the emission. Blending such iPUC nanoparticles with silver nanowires (AgNWs), the upconverted emission intensity could be significantly amplified due to the SPR of AgNWs. Thus, the concepts of aggregation-induced emission (AIE), metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) and aggregation-induced photon upconversion (iPUC) were successfully integrated and achieved.

Abstract
Sensitivity of FRET in hetero- and homo-FRET systems on the photoselected orientation distribution of donors has been proven by using polarized and depolarized light for excitation. FRET as well as donor and acceptor anisotropies have been simultaneously measured in a dual emission-polarization scheme realized in a conventional flow cytometer by using single laser excitation and applying fluorophore-conjugated mAbs against the MHCI and MHCII cell surface receptors. Depolarization of the originally polarized light have been achieved by using crystal depolarizers based on Cornu's principle, a quarter-wave plate for circular polarization, and a parallel beam splitter acting as a diagonal-polarizer for dual-polarization excitation. Simultaneous analysis of intensity-based FRET efficiency and acceptor depolarization equivocally report that depolarization of light may increase FRET in an amount depending on the acceptor-to-donor concentration ratio. Acceptor depolarization turned to be more sensitive to FRET than donor hyper-polarization and even than intensity-based FRET efficiency. It can be used as a sensitive tool for monitoring changes in the dynamics of the donor-acceptor pairs. The basic observations of FRET enhancement and increased acceptor depolarization obtained for hetero-FRET are paralleled by analog observations of homo-FRET enhancements under depolarized excitation. In terms of the orientation factor for FRET, the FRET enhancements on depolarization in the condition of the macroscopically isotropic orientation distributions such as those of the cell surface bound fluorophores report on the presence of local orientation mismatches of the donor and acceptor preventing the optimal FRET in the polarized case, which may be eliminated by the excitation depolarization. A theory of fluorescence anisotropy for depolarized excitation is also presented.

Abstract
Measuring distances at molecular length scales in living systems is a significant challenge. Methods like Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) have limitations due to short detection distances and strict orientations. Recently, surface energy transfer (SET) has been used in bulk solutions; however, it cannot be applied to living systems. Here, we have developed an SET nanoruler, using aptamer-gold nanoparticle conjugates with different diameters, to monitor the distance between binding sites of a receptor on living cells. The nanoruler can measure separation distances well beyond the detection limit of FRET. Thus, for the first time, we have developed an effective SET nanoruler for live cells with long distance, easy construction, fast detection, and low background. This is also the first time that the distance between the aptamer and antibody binding sites in the membrane protein PTK7 was measured accurately. The SET nanoruler represents the next leap forward to monitor structural components within living cell membranes.

Abstract
The photoluminescence of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) in different configurations at solid surfaces (glass, silicon, PDMS, and metals) is considered for three types of organization: QDs directly adsorbed on solid surfaces, separated from the solid surface by a nanoscale polymer film with different thickness, and encapsulated into a polymer film. The complete suppression of photoluminescence for QDs on conductive metal surfaces (copper, gold) indicated a strong quenching effect. The temporal variation of the photoluminescent intensity on other substrates (glass, silicon, and PDMS) can be tuned by placing the nanoscale (3-50 nm) LbL polymer film between QDs and the substrate. The photooxidation and photobleaching processes of QD nanoparticles in the vicinity of the solid surface can be tuned by proper selection of the substrate and the dielectric nanoscale polymer film placed between the substrate and QDs. Moreover, the encapsulation of QD nanoparticles into the polymer film resulted in a dramatic initial increase in the photoemission intensity due to the accelerated photooxidation process. The phenomenon of enhanced photoemission of QDs encapsulated into the ultrathin polymer film provides not only the opportunity for making flexible, ultrathin, QD-containing polymer films, transferable to any microfabricated substrate, but also improved light emitting properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The photobleaching fluorescence resonance energy transfer (pbFRET) technique is a spectroscopic method to measure proximity relations between fluorescently labeled macromolecules using digital imaging microscopy. To calculate the energy transfer values one has to determine the bleaching time constants in pixel-by-pixel fashion from the image series recorded on the donor-only and donor and acceptor double-labeled samples. Because of the large number of pixels and the time-consuming calculations, this procedure should be assisted by powerful image data processing software. There is no commercially available software that is able to fulfill these requirements. METHODS New evaluation software was developed to analyze pbFRET data for Windows platform in National Instrument LabVIEW 6.1. This development environment contains a mathematical virtual instrument package, in which the Levenberg-Marquardt routine is also included. As a reference experiment, FRET efficiency between the two chains (beta2-microglobulin and heavy chain) of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I glycoproteins and FRET between MHC I and MHC II molecules were determined in the plasma membrane of JY, human B lymphoma cells. RESULTS The bleaching time constants calculated on pixel-by-pixel basis can be displayed as a color-coded map or as a histogram from raw image format. CONCLUSION In this report we introduce a new version of pbFRET analysis and data processing software that is able to generate a full analysis pattern of donor photobleaching image series under various conditions. .
