Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has recently come to the forefront as an exceptionally powerful and promising method for the treatment of cancer. Existing photosensitizers are predominantly engineered to target diverse biomolecules, including proteins, DNA, lipids, and carbohydrates, and have proven to greatly enhance the efficacy or specificity of PDT. However, it is noteworthy that there exists a conspicuous scarcity of photosensitizers specifically designed to target RNAs. Recognizing the crucial and multifaceted roles played by RNAs in various cellular processes and disease states, we have ventured into the development of a novel RNA-targeting photosensitizer, named Se-718, designed specifically for PDT-based cancer therapy. Se-718 has been engineered to exhibit a high molar absorption coefficient in the NIR region, which is crucial for effective PDT. More importantly, Se-718 has demonstrated a distinct RNA-targeting capability, as evidenced through rigorous testing in both circular dichroism and fluorescence experiments. Furthermore, Se-718 has been shown to display both type I and type II photodynamic properties. This unique characteristic enables the efficient killing of cancer cells under a wide range of oxygen conditions, both normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (2% O2). The IC50 of Se-718 can be as low as 100 nM, and its light-to-dark toxicity ratio is an impressive 215 times higher, outperforming most photosensitizers currently available. Moreover, in vivo studies conducted with tumor-bearing mice have demonstrated the excellent antitumor effects and high safety profile of Se-718. Considering the outstanding PDT efficacy of Se-718, we are optimistic that the development of RNA-targeting photosensitizers may provide an innovative and highly effective option for cancer therapeutics in the near future.

Abstract
Benefiting from high spatiotemporal resolution, deep tissue penetration, and excellent sensitivity, fluorescence imaging technology has been widely applied in cancer diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, a large number of fluorescent probes for monitoring the levels of endogenous biothiols have been reported, which have significant implications for cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, most probes still suffer from poor biological compatibility and easy attachment by the environment. This work presents the development of a water-soluble dual-channel fluorescent probe, named MAL-NBD, for sensitively detecting biothiols. Nonfluorescent MAL-NBD is transformed into fluorescent groups MAL and NBD-SR/NR through nucleophilic substitution by biologically active thiols, producing dual-channel fluorescence signals for precise detection of biologically active thiols. Taking advantage of the excellent biocompatibility and low biotoxicity, MAL-NBD is successfully used for imaging HeLa cancer cells and zebrafish larvae, promoting its potential application for the precise detection of biological thiols involved in physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
The majority of nosocomial infections are caused by bacteria with antimicrobial resistance and the formation of biofilms, such as implant-related bacterial infections and sepsis. There is an urgent need to develop new strategies for early-stage screening, destruction of multidrug-resistant bacteria, and efficient inhibition of biofilms. Organic dyes that absorb and emit in the near-infrared (NIR) region are potentially non-invasive, high-resolution, and rapid biological imaging materials. In this study, a non-toxic and biocompatible indolizine squaraine dye with water-solubilizing sulfonate groups (SO3SQ) is studied for bacterial imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT). PTT is efficient in eliminating microorganisms through local hyperthermia without the risk of developing drug-resistant bacteria. The optical properties of SO3SQ are studied extensively in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra analysis shows a strong absorption between 650 nm - 1000 nm. SO3SQ allows for the wash-free fluorescence imaging of drug-resistant bacteria via NIR fluorescence imaging due to a "turn-on" fluorescence property of the dye when interacting with bacteria. Although SO3SQ exhibits no toxicity against both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, the PTT property of SO3SQ is efficient in killing bacteria as well as inhibiting and eradicating biofilms. PTT experiments demonstrate that SO3SQ reduces 90% of cell viability in bacterial strains under NIR radiation with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC90) of >450 μg/mL. The PTT property of SO3SQ can also inhibit biofilms (BIC90 = 1000-2000 μg/mL) and eradicate both preformed young and mature biofilms (MBEC90 = 1500-2000 μg/mL) as observed by crystal violet assays.

Abstract
A heteroaryl sulfonyl(VI) fluoride, 4-chloro-7-fluorosulfonyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole, was synthesized from its chloride counterpart (4-chloro-7-chlorosulfonyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole) and the X-ray structure analysis of these compounds and the interactions in the solid-state were thoroughly examined. Hirshfeld surface analysis is used to provide a thorough and complete picture of the changes arising from the different halides in the functional groups. Surface analysis reveals that the fluoride does not participate in any hydrogen interactions as opposed to the chloride. However, the fluorine atom is observed to form close interactions with several π bonds. For both moieties, however, the sulfonyl oxygens show comparable interactions with respect to both magnitude and interatomic distances. The Hirshfeld surface analysis is coupled with computational studies to help elucidate the observed interactions that are found from the distinct nitrogen, chlorine, and oxygen atoms present in the molecules, providing new physical insights to the correlation between their structures and properties.

Abstract
Organic fluorescent dyes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property have an extensive application range, especially in the fields of imaging, labeling, and adjusting microprocesses in aggregated environments. In particular, the thienoisoindigo skeleton, which exhibits an outstanding electron-withdrawing capacity in optoelectronic materials, has been defined as a promising AIE candidate. For instance, by installing AIE blocks or other rotatable groups at two terminal sites, such as various arylamine groups, thienoisoindigo derivatives can be efficiently turned to be functional AIE structures. In this work, a thienoisoindigo derivative with AIE characteristics, namely, TII-TPE, was developed. This AIE system was expanded by linking typical AIE fragments, namely, tetraphenylethene, with the proposed thienoisoindigo derivative, which exhibited typical AIE fluorescence in the 600-850 nm range and maintained high photostability. Then, employing the reported derivative TII-TPA coating thienoisoindigo and triphenylamine as a contrast, aggregated TII-TPE and TII-TPA nanoparticles were prepared and demonstrated photothermal conversion efficiencies of 36.2 and 35.6%, respectively. Moreover, both nanoparticles were evaluated as photothermal therapeutic (PTT) agents in a tumor mouse model, which showed to significantly inhibit tumor growth after four treatment cycles in vivo. This work not only presents an enriched thienoisoindigo system but also provides a pattern for subsequent construction of functional AIE molecules.

Abstract
Sulfur is an element that is indispensable throughout the growth of plants. In plant cells, reactive sulfur species (RSS) play a vital role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and signal transduction. There is demand accordingly for a simple, highly selective, and sensitive method of RSS detection and imaging for monitoring dynamic changes and clarifying the biological functions of RSS in plant systems. Fluorescent analysis based on organic small-molecule fluorescent probes is an effective and specific approach to tracking plant RSS characteristics. This perspective summarizes the recent progress regarding organic small-molecule fluorescent probes for RSS monitoring, including small-molecule biological thiols, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfane sulfurs, in plants; it also discusses their response mechanism toward RSS and their imaging applications in plants across the agricultural chemistry field.

Abstract
Tyrosinase (TYR, E.C. 1.14.18.1), a critical enzyme participating in melanogenesis, catalyzes the first two steps in melanin biosynthesis including the ortho-hydroxylation of L-tyrosine and the oxidation of L-DOPA. Previous pharmacological investigations have revealed that an abnormal level of TYR is tightly associated with various dermatoses, including albinism, age spots, and malignant melanoma. TYR inhibitors can partially block the formation of pigment, which are always used for improving skin tone and treating dermatoses. The practical and reliable assays for monitoring TYR activity levels are very useful for both disease diagnosis and drug discovery. This review comprehensively summarizes structural and enzymatic characteristics, catalytic mechanism and substrate preference of TYR, as well as the recent advances in biochemical assays for sensing TYR activity and their biomedical applications. The design strategies of various TYR substrates, alongside with several lists of all reported biochemical assays for sensing TYR including analytical conditions and kinetic parameters, are presented for the first time. Additionally, the biomedical applications and future perspectives of these optical assays are also highlighted. The information and knowledge presented in this review offer a group of practical and reliable assays and imaging tools for sensing TYR activities in complex biological systems, which strongly facilitates high-throughput screening TYR inhibitors and further investigations on the relevance of TYR to human diseases.

Abstract
Food fermentation, antibiotics, and pollutant degradation are closely related to bacteria. Bacteria play an irreplaceable role in life. However, some bacteria seriously threaten human health and cause large-scale infectious diseases. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop strategies to accurately monitor bacteria. Technology based on molecular probes and fluorescence imaging is noninvasive, results in little damage, and has high specificity and sensitivity, so it has been widely applied in the detection of bacteria. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in bacterial detection using fluorescence. In particular, we generalize the mechanisms commonly used to design organic fluorescent probes for detecting and imaging bacteria. Moreover, a perspective regarding fluorescent probes for bacterial detection is discussed.
