Abstract
Cyclotriphosphazene (CP) is a cyclic inorganic compound with the chemical formula N3P3. This unique molecule consists of a six-membered ring composed of alternating nitrogen and phosphorus atoms, each bonded to two chlorine atoms. CP exhibits remarkable versatility and significance in the realm of materials chemistry due to its easy functionalization via facile nucleophilic substitution reactions in mild conditions as well as intriguing properties of resultant final CP-based molecules or polymers. CP has been served as an important building block for numerous functional materials. This review provides a general and broad overview of the synthesis of CP-based small molecules through nucleophilic substitution of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP), and their applications, including flame retardants, liquid crystals (LC), chemosensors, electronics, biomedical materials, and lubricants, have been summarized and discussed. It would be expected that this review would offer a timely summary of various CP-based materials and hence give an insight into further exploration of CP-based molecules in the future.

Abstract
Exploring new ways to reconstruct the structure and function of inappropriate organic fluorophores for improving amyloid-β (Aβ) fluorescent imaging performance is desired for precise detection and early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). With stilbazolium dyes as examples, here, we present a multipronged approach to comprehensively improved the Aβ fluorescent imaging performance through a flexible bivalent method, where a flexible carbon chain was introduced to link two monomers to form a homodimer. Our results reveal a mechanism wherein the flexible linker creates a well-defined probe with specific orientations and distinct photophysical properties. Applying this approach in combination with theoretical simulation, the homodimers exhibited a comprehensive improvement of the Aβ fluorescent imaging performance of the dye monomers, including better photostability and higher signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, higher "off-on" near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) response sensitivity, higher specificity and affinity to Aβ deposits, and more reasonable lipophilicity for blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrability. The results demonstrate that flexible homodimers offer a multipronged approach to obtaining high-performance NIRF imaging reagents for the detection of Aβ deposits both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Ultrasound-triggered remote control of biomolecular functions in cells provides unique advantages for us to interrogate nature. However, strategies to design therapeutic ultrasound-responsive functional molecules remain elusive, and rare ultrasound-cleavable chemical bonds have been developed to date. Herein, therapeutic ultrasound (1 MHz)-induced scission of urea bonds for drug release is demonstrated for the first time. Such a transformation has been verified to be initiated by hydroxyl radicals generated in the interior of cavitation bubbles, occurring specifically at the cavitation bubble-liquid interface. A series of urea-bond-containing prodrugs based on methylene blue (MB), namely MBUs, are designed. Upon sonication with low-intensity therapeutic ultrasound, the urea bonds linked with primary amines can be selectively cleaved, and free MB is released in a physiologically relevant environment, accompanied by recovered absorbance, fluorescence, and photosensitivity. Moreover, an FDA-approved alkylating agent (i.e., melphalan) bearing urea bond is also developed (MBU-Mel), successfully achieving ultrasound-triggered drug release in deep-seated cancer cells (mimic with 1 cm pigskin), showing the scalability of our ultrasound-responsive molecule platform in bioactive molecules release. This may set the starting point for therapeutic ultrasound-induced drug release, making a forward step in "sonopharmacology".

Abstract
Conventional fluorescent dyes have the property of decreasing fluorescence due to aggregation-caused quenching effects at high concentrations, whereas aggregation-induced emission dyes have the property of increasing fluorescence as they aggregate with each other. In this study, diketopyrrolopyrrole-based long-wavelength aggregation-induced emission dyes were used to prepare biocompatible nanoparticles suitable for bioimaging. Aggregation-induced emission nanoparticles with the best morphology and photoluminescence intensity were obtained through a fast, simple preparation method using an ultrasonicator. The optimally prepared nanoparticles from 3,6-bis(4-((E)-4-(bis(40-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)-[1,10-biphenyl]-4-yl)amino)styryl)phenyl)-2,5-dihexyl-2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (DP-R2) with two functional groups having aggregation-induced emission properties and additional donating groups at the end of the triphenylamine groups were considered to have the greatest potential as a fluorescent probe for bioimaging. Furthermore, it was found that the tendency for aggregation-induced emission, which was apparent for the dye itself, became much more marked after the dyes were incorporated within nanoparticles. While the photoluminescence intensities of the dyes were observed to decrease rapidly over time, the prepared nanoparticles encapsulated within the biocompatible polymers maintained their initial optical properties very well. Lastly, when the cell viability test was conducted, excellent biocompatibility was demonstrated for each of the prepared nanoparticles.

Abstract
Aminopeptidase N (APN) is capable of cleaving N-terminal amino acids from peptides with alanine in the N-terminal position and plays a key role in the growth, migration, and metastasis of cancer. However, reliable in situ information is hard to be obtained with the current APN-responsive molecular probes because the released fluorophores are cytoplasmic soluble and thus rapidly depart from the enzymatic reaction sites and spread out all over the cytoplasm. Here, we report a de novo precipitated fluorophore, HBPQ, which is completely insoluble in water and shows strong yellow solid emission when excited with a 405 nm laser. Owing to the controllable solid fluorescence of HBPQ by the protection-deprotection of phenolic hydroxyl, we further utilized HBPQ to design an APN-responsive fluorogenic probe (HBPQ-A) for the imaging of intracellular APN. Importantly, HBPQ-A can not only perform in situ imaging of APN in different organelles (e.g., lysosomes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticula, and so forth) but also display a stable and indiffusible fluorescent signal for reliable mapping of the distribution of APN in living cells. In addition, through real-time imaging of APN in 4T1 tumors, we found that the fluorescent signal with high fidelity generated by HBPQ-A could remain constant even after 12 h, which further confirmed its diffusion-resistant ability and long-term reliable imaging ability. We believe that the precipitated fluorophore may have great potential for long-term in situ imaging.

Abstract
Near-infrared fluorophores are emerging as promising molecular tools for cancer theranostics because of their inherent biodegradability, low toxicity, and synthetic flexibility. However, they still suffer from several limitations, such as poor photostability and insufficient organelle-targeting stability during photothermal therapy. In this work, we introduce an "aldehyde functionalization" strategy for simultaneously enhancing photostability and mitochondria-immobilization of near-infrared fluorophores for the first time. Based on the proposed strategy, representative near-infrared organic molecules, namely AF-Cy, were rationally designed and synthesized. Upon aldehyde modification, the AF-Cy dyes displayed both remarkable photostability and mitochondrial-targeting stability. The strong absorption in the near-infrared region confers the AF-Cy dyes with outstanding fluorescent/photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy capabilities. Finally, in vitro and in vivo studies revealed the enhanced performance in inhibiting the growth of breast tumors under NIR laser radiation, and these results suggested the strong potential of AF-Cy dyes as efficient multimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy agents, further highlighting the value of this simple strategy in the design high performance near-infrared fluorophores for tumor theranostics.

Abstract
High-fidelity imaging and long-term visualization of lysosomes are crucial for their functional evaluation, related disease detection and active drug screening. However, commercial aggregation-caused quenching probes are not conducive to precise lysosomal imaging because of their inherent drawbacks, like easy diffusion, short emission and small Stokes shift, let alone their long-term tracing due to rapid photobleaching. Herein we report a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based TCM-PI nanoaggregate tracker for direct visualization of lysosomes based on the building block of tricyano-methylene-pyridine (TCM), wherein introduced piperazine (PI) groups behave as targeting units to lysosomes upon protonation, and the self-assembled nanostructure contributes to fast endocytosis for enhanced targeting ability as well as extended retention time for long-term imaging. The piperazine-stabilized TCM-PI nanoaggregate shifts the emission maximum to 677 nm in an aqueous environment, and falls within the desirable NIR region with a large Stokes shift of 162 nm, thereby greatly reducing biological fluorescent background interference. In contrast with the commercially available LysoTracker Red, the essential AIE characteristic of high photostability can guarantee three-dimensional high-fidelity tracing with low photobleaching, and little diffusion from lysosomes, and especially overcome the AIE bottleneck to target specificity. Consequently, the AIE-based nanoaggregate tracker successfully achieves the high-fidelity and long-term tracing of lysosomal movement and even monitors the drug-escaping process from lysosomes to cell nuclei, which provides a potential tool to benefit drug screening.

Abstract
A unique fluorescent supramolecular assembly was constructed using coumarin-modified β-cyclodextrin as a reversible ratiometric probe and an adamantane-modified cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartate peptide as a cancer-targeting agent via host-guest inclusion complexation. Importantly, the coumarin-modified β-cyclodextrin not only showed higher sensitivity than the parent coumarin derivatives owing to the presence of numerous hydroxyl groups on the cyclodextrin but also provided a hydrophobic cavity for encapsulation of a cancer-targeting agent. The assembly showed a reversible and fast response to biothiols with a micromolar dissociation constant, as well as outstanding cancer cell permeability, which can be used for high-efficiency real-time monitoring of biothiols in cancer cells. This supramolecular assembly strategy endows the fluorescent probe with superior performance for dynamic sensing of biothiols.

Abstract
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) provides momentous theoretical principle for modern cancer immunotherapy. However, the currently available ICD inducers are still very limited and photosensitizer-based ones can hardly induce sufficient ICD to achieve satisfactory cancer immunotherapy by themselves. Herein, an organic photosensitizer (named TPE-DPA-TCyP) with a twisted molecular structure, strong aggregation-induced emission activity, and specific ability is reported for effectively inducing focused mitochondrial oxidative stress of cancer cells, which can serve as a much superior ICD inducer to the popularly used ones, including chlorin e6 (Ce6), pheophorbide A, and oxaliplatin. Furthermore, more effective in vivo ICD immunogenicity of TPE-DPA-TCyP than Ce6 is also demonstrated using a prophylactic tumor vaccination model. The underlying mechanism of the effectiveness and robustness of TPE-DPA-TCyP in inducing antitumor immunity and immune-memory effect in vivo is verified by immune cell analyses. This study thus reveals that inducing focused mitochondrial oxidative stress is a highly effective strategy to evoke abundant and large-scale ICD.

Abstract
A major challenge in cancer treatment is the development of effective tumor-specific therapeutic methods that have minimal side effects. Recently, a photodynamic therapy (PDT) technique using activatable photosensitizers (aPSs) has shown great potential for cancer-specific treatment. Here, we develop a sequential protein-responsive aPS (PcC4-MSN-O1) that is based on zinc(II) phthalocyanine derivative (PcC4)-entrapped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and a wrapping DNA (O1) as a biogate. Inside the nanostructure of PcC4-MSN-O1, PcC4 shows self-quenching photoactivity. However, when PcC4-MSN-O1 sequentially reacts with telomerase and albumin, its photoactivity is dramatically turned on. Therefore, PcC4-MSN-O1 displays selective phototoxicity against cancer cells ( e.g., HeLa) over normal cells ( e.g., HEK-293). Following systemic PcC4-MSN-O1 administration, there is an obvious accumulation in HeLa tumors of xenograft-bearing mice, and laser irradiation clearly induces the inhibition of tumor growth. Moreover, the time-modulated activation process in tumors and the relatively fast excretion of PcC4-MSN-O1 indicate its advantages in reducing potential side effects.
