Abstract
Optical multiplexing technology plays a crucial role in various fields such as data storage, anti-counterfeiting, and time-resolved biological imaging. Nevertheless, employing single-wavelength phosphorescence for multiplexing often results in spectral overlap among the emission peaks of various channels, which can precipitate crosstalk and misinterpretation in the information-decoding process, thereby compromising the integrity and precision of the encrypted data. This paper proposes a time-divided colorful multiplexing technology based on phosphorescent carbon nanodots with different colors and lifetimes. Using different luminescence colors to symbolize varying information levels helps achieve multitiered information encryption and storage. By modulation of the lifetime and the emission wavelength, intricate information can be encoded, thereby enhancing the intricacy and security of the encryption mechanism. By assigning different data bits to each color, more information can be encoded in the same physical space. This method enables higher-density information storage and fortifies encryption, ensuring the compactness and security of information.

Abstract
Biocoding technology constructed by readable tags with distinct signatures is a brand-new bioanalysis method to realize multiplexed identification and bio-information decoding. In this study, a novel fluorescence intensity coding technology termed Tetra-FICT was reported based on tetrahedron DNA nanostructure (TDN) carrier and Főrster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) effect. By modulating numbers and distances of Cy3 and Cy5 at four vertexes of TDN, different fluorescence intensities of twenty-six samples were produced at ∼565.0 nm (FICy3) and ∼665.0 nm (FICy5) by detecting fluorescence spectra. By developing an error correction mechanism, eleven codes were established based on divided intensity ranges of the final FICy3 together with FICy5 (Final-FICy3&FICy5). These resulting codes were used to construct barcode probes, with three miRNA biomarkers (miRNA-210, miRNA-199a and miRNA-21) as cases for multiplexed bio-assay. The high specificity and sensitivity were also demonstrated for the detection of miRNA-210. Overall, the proposed Tetra-FICT enriched the toolbox of fluorescence coding, which could be applied to multiplexing biomarkers detection.

Abstract
Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have been emerging as a multifunctional platform for various optical applications including quantum information processing, quantum computing and imaging. Simultaneously, due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability hBN is a promising material for biomedical applications. In this work, we demonstrate single-photon emission from hBN color centers embedded inside live cells and their application to cellular barcoding. The generation and internalization of multiple color centers into cells was performed via simple and scalable procedure while keeping the cells unharmed. The emission from live cells was observed as multiple diffraction-limited spots, which exhibited excellent single-photon characteristics with high single-photon purity of 0.1 and superb emission stability without photobleaching or spectral shifts over several hours. Due to different emission wavelengths and peak widths of the color centers, they were employed as barcodes. We term them Quantum Photonic Barcodes (QPBs). Each QPB can exist in one out of 470 possible distinguishable states and a combination of a few QPBs per cell can be used to uniquely tag virtually an unlimited number of cells. The barcodes developed here offer some excellent properties, including ease of production by a single-step procedure, biocompatibility and biodegradability, emission stability, no photobleaching, small size and a huge number of unique barcodes. This work provides a basis for the use of hBN color centers for robust barcoding of cells and due to the single photon emission, presented concepts could in future be extended to quantum-limited sensing and super-resolution imaging.

Abstract
The design of nanosegregated fluorescent tags/barcodes by geometrical patterning with precise dimensions and hierarchies could integrate multilevel optical information within one carrier and enhance microsized barcoding techniques for ultrahigh-density optical data storage and encryption. However, precise control of the spatial distribution in micro/nanosized matrices intrinsically limits the accessible barcoding applications in terms of material design and construction. Here, crystallization forces are leveraged to enable a rapid, programmable molecular packing and rapid epitaxial growth of fluorescent units in 2D via crystallization-driven self-assembly. The fluorescence encoding density, scalability, information storage capacity, and decoding techniques of the robust 2D polymeric barcoding platform are explored systematically. These results provide both a theoretical and an experimental foundation for expanding the fluorescence storage capacity, which is a longstanding challenge in state-of-the-art microbarcoding techniques and establish a generalized and adaptable coding platform for high-throughput analysis and optical multiplexing.

Abstract
Materials are the fundament of the physical world, whereas information and its exchange are the centerpieces of the digital world. Their fruitful synergy offers countless opportunities for realizing desired digital transformation processes in the physical world of materials. Yet, to date, a perfect connection between these worlds is missing. From the perspective, this can be achieved by overcoming the paradigm of considering materials as passive objects and turning them into perceptual, information-providing matter. This matter is capable of communicating associated digitally stored information, for example, its origin, fate, and material type as well as its intactness on demand. Herein, the concept of realizing perceptual, information-providing matter by integrating customizable (sub-)micrometer-sized communicating supraparticles (CSPs) is presented. They are assembled from individual nanoparticulate and/or (macro)molecular building blocks with spectrally differentiable signals that are either robust or stimuli-susceptible. Their combination yields functional signal characteristics that provide an identification signature and one or multiple stimuli-recorder features. This enables CSPs to communicate associated digital information on the tagged material and its encountered stimuli histories upon signal readout anywhere across its life cycle. Ultimately, CSPs link the materials and digital worlds with numerous use cases thereof, in particular fostering the transition into an age of sustainability.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy is rapidly developed in recent years, allowing biologists to extract more quantitative information on subcellular processes in live cells that is usually not accessible with conventional techniques. However, super-resolution imaging is not fully exploited because of the lack of an appropriate and multifunctional experimental platform. As an important tool in life sciences, microfluidics is capable of cell manipulation and the regulation of the cellular environment because of its superior flexibility and biocompatibility. The combination of microfluidics and super-resolution microscopy revolutionizes the study of complex cellular properties and dynamics, providing valuable insights into cellular structure and biological functions at the single-molecule level. In this perspective, an overview of the main advantages of microfluidic technology that are essential to the performance of super-resolution microscopy are offered. The main benefits of performing super-resolution imaging with microfluidic devices are highlighted and perspectives on the diverse applications that are facilitated by combining these two powerful techniques are provided.

Abstract
High-throughput assays play an important role in the fields of drug discovery, genetic analysis, and clinical diagnostics. Although super-capacity coding strategies may facilitate labeling and detecting large numbers of targets in a single assay, practically, the constructed large-capacity codes have to be decoded with complicated procedures or are lack of survivability under the required reaction conditions. This challenge results in either inaccurate or insufficient decoding outputs. Here, we identified chemical-resistant Raman compounds to build a combinatorial coding system for the high-throughput screening of cell-targeting ligands from a focused 8-mer cyclic peptide library. The accurate in situ decoding results proved the signal, synthetic, and functional orthogonality for this Raman coding strategy. The orthogonal Raman codes allowed for a rapid identification of 63 positive hits at one time, evidencing a high-throughput-out capability in the screening process. We anticipate this orthogonal Raman coding strategy being generalized to enable efficient high-throughput-out screening of more useful ligands for cell targeting and drug discovery.

Abstract
Optical microbarcodes have recently received a great deal of interest because of their suitability for a wide range of applications, such as multiplexed assays, cell tagging and tracking, anticounterfeiting, and product labeling. Spectral barcodes are especially promising because they are robust and have a simple readout. In addition, microcavity- and microlaser-based barcodes have very narrow spectra and therefore have the potential to generate millions of unique barcodes. This review begins with a discussion of the different types of barcodes and then focuses specifically on microcavity-based barcodes. While almost any kind of optical microcavity can be used for barcoding, currently whispering-gallery microcavities (in the form of spheres and disks), nanowire lasers, Fabry-Pérot lasers, random lasers, and distributed feedback lasers are the most frequently employed for this purpose. In microcavity-based barcodes, the information is encoded in various ways in the properties of the emitted light, most frequently in the spectrum. The barcode is dependent on the properties of the microcavity, such as the size, shape, and the gain materials. Various applications of these barcodes, including cell tracking, anticounterfeiting, and product labeling are described. Finally, the future prospects for microcavity- and microlaser-based barcodes are discussed.

Abstract
Benefiting from superior programmable performance and flexible design of DNA technologies, a variety of single-molecule RNA fluorescence imaging methodologies have been reported. However, the multiplexing capability is restricted owing to the spectral overlap of fluorophores. To overcome this limitation, some inspiring multiplex imaging strategies have been developed, but in practice, it remains challenging to achieve convenient and rapid imaging in live cells due to complex designs and additional pretreatments to increase cell permeability. Here, we report an activatable fluorescence-encoded nanoprobe (AFENP) strategy, through which fluorescence-encoded functional modules for qualitative analysis and activated nucleic acid assemblies functional modules for quantitative testing enable simple multiplexed RNA imaging in single live cells. As a proof of principle, by two distinguishable fluorophores (fluorescein and rhodamine B) and their seven distinctly differentiated intensity levels, self-assembled AFENP enables simplified and quick simultaneous in situ detection and imaging of seven types of targets in live single cells because the fluorescent quantitative signal is activated only in the presence of target avoiding the washing procedures and additional pretreatment to increase cell permeability is undesired. We expect that this practical single-cell analysis platform will be adopted for multiple gene expression analysis and imaging in live cells on account of its simplicity and multiplex capability.

Abstract
Barcoding of nano- and micro-particles allows distinguishing multiple targets at the same time within a complex mixture and is emerging as a powerful tool to increase the throughput of many assays. Fluorescent barcoding is one of the most used strategies, where microparticles are labeled with dyes and classified based on fluorescence color, intensity, or other features. Microparticles are ideal targets due to their relative ease of detection, manufacturing, and higher homogeneity. Barcoding is considerably more challenging in the case of nanoparticles (NPs), where their small size results in a lower signal and greater heterogeneity. This is a significant limitation since many bioassays require the use of nano-sized carriers. In this study, we introduce a machine-learning-assisted workflow to write, read, and classify barcoded PLGA-PEG NPs at a single-particle level. This procedure is based on the encapsulation of fluorescent markers without modifying their physicochemical properties (writing), the optimization of their confocal imaging (reading), and the implementation of a machine learning-based barcode reader (classification). We found nanoparticle heterogeneity as one of the main factors that challenges barcode separation, and that information extracted from the dyes' nanoscale confinement effects (such as Förster Resonance Energy Transfer, FRET) can aid barcode identification. Moreover, we provide a guide to reaching the optimal trade-off between the number of simultaneous barcodes and classification accuracy supporting the use of this workflow for a variety of bioassays.

Abstract
Luminescence multiplexing shows promising application prospects in information security, yet even outstanding time division multiplexing can only carry limited luminescence information. Time-space division multiplexing can greatly expand the information capacity by simultaneously transferring luminescence information in both time and space dimensions. Herein, time-dependent polychrome stereoscopic luminescence system has been successfully developed by designing a 3D luminescence system based on resonance energy transfer (RET), in which afterglow lifetime easily regulated carbon dots-in-zeolite composites are used as energy donors and multicolor fluorescence quantum dots (QDs) as energy acceptors. Taking perovskite QDs (PeQDs) as example, by matching the energy donors with different afterglow lifetimes and the energy acceptors with different fluorescence colors, tunable afterglow emission of PeQDs with wavelength within 463-614 nm and lifetime within 232-1500 ms can be realized, in which the maximal RET efficiency reaches 95%. As a proof of concept, such novel luminescence system that carries eight layers of luminescence information involving four dimensions (time and 3D space) is successfully applied in advanced time-space division multiplexing. This work opens a new perspective for the application of time-space integrated luminescence systems in advanced information multiplexing.

[PMID: 36671935 PMCID: PMC9856145 DOI: 10.3390/bios13010100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
In the continuous combat against diseases, there is the need for tools that enable an improved diagnostic efficiency towards higher information density combined with reduced time-to-result and cost. Here, a novel fully integrated microfluidic platform, the Evalution™, is evaluated as a potential solution to this need. Encoded microparticles combined with channel-based microfluidics allow a fast, sensitive and simultaneous detection of several disease-related biomarkers. Since the binary code is represented by physically present holes, 210 different codes can be created that will not be altered by light or chemically induced degradation. Exploiting the unique features of this multiplex platform, hybridization chain reaction (HCR) is explored as a generic approach to reach the desired sensitivity. Compared to a non-amplified reference system, the sensitivity was drastically improved by a factor of 104, down to low fM LOD values. Depending on the HCR duration, the assay can be tuned for sensitivity or total assay time, as desired. The huge potential of this strategy was further demonstrated by the successful detection of a multiplex panel of six different nucleic acid targets including viruses and bacteria. The ability to not only discriminate these two categories but, with the same effort, also virus strains (human adenovirus and human bocavirus), virus subtypes (human adenovirus type B and D) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Streptococcus pneumonia), exemplifies the specificity of the developed approach. The effective, yet highly simplified, isothermal and protein-enzyme-free signal amplification tool reaches an LOD ranging from as low as 33 ± 4 to 151 ± 12 fM for the different targets. Moreover, direct detection in a clinically relevant sample matrix was verified, resulting in a detection limit of 309 ± 80 fM, approximating the low fM levels detectable with the gold standard analysis method, PCR, without the drawbacks related to protein enzymes, thermal cycling and elaborate sample preparation steps. The reported strategy can be directly transferred as a generic approach for the sensitive and specific detection of various target molecules in multiplex. In combination with the high-throughput capacity and reduced reagent consumption, the Evalution™ demonstrates immense potential in the next generation of diagnostic tools towards more personalized medicine.

Abstract
Simultaneous imaging of multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) in individual living cells is challenging due to the lack of spectrally distinct encoded fluorophores and non-cytotoxic methods. We describe a multiplexed error-robust combinatorial fluorescent label-encoding method, termed fluorophores encoded error-corrected labels (FluoELs), enabling multiplexed miRNA imaging in living cells with error-correcting capability. The FluoELs comprise proportional dual fluorophores for encoding and a constant quantitative single fluorophore for error-corrected quantification. Both are embedded in 260 nm core-shell silica nanoparticles modified with molecular beacon detection probes. The FluoELs are low cytotoxic and could accurately quantify and spatially resolve nine breast-cancer-related miRNAs and evaluate their coordination. The FluoELs enabled a single-cell analysis platform to evaluate miRNA expression profiles and the molecular mechanisms underlying miRNA-associated diseases.

Abstract
A large collection of unique molecular barcodes is useful in the simultaneous sensing or screening of molecular analytes. Though the sequence of DNA has been widely applied to encode for molecular barcodes, decoding of these barcodes is normally assisted by sequencing. We here demonstrate a barcode system based solely on self-assembly of synthetic nucleic acids and direct nanopore decoding. Each molecular barcode is composed of "n" distinct information nodes in a non-binary manner and can be sequentially scanned and decoded by a Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA) nanopore. Nanopore events containing step-shaped features were consistently reported. 14 unique information nodes were developed which in principle could encode for 14n unique molecular barcodes in a barcode containing "n" information nodes. These barcode probes were adapted to detect different antibody proteins or cancer-related microRNAs, suggesting their immediate application in a wide variety of sensing applications.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) is a fast-developing field that encompasses fluorescence imaging techniques with the capability to resolve objects below the classical diffraction limit of optical resolution. Acknowledged with the Nobel prize in 2014, numerous SRM methods have meanwhile evolved and are being widely applied in biomedical research, all with specific strengths and shortcomings. While some techniques are capable of nanometre-scale molecular resolution, others are geared towards volumetric three-dimensional multi-colour or fast live-cell imaging. In this editorial review, we pick on the latest trends in the field. We start with a brief historical overview of both conceptual and commercial developments. Next, we highlight important parameters for imaging successfully with a particular super-resolution modality. Finally, we discuss the importance of reproducibility and quality control and the significance of open-source tools in microscopy. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (part 2)'.

Abstract
Multiplexed imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window, with much reduced tissue scattering and autofluorescence background noises, could offer comprehensive information for studying biological processes and accurate diagnosis. A critical requirement for harvesting the full potential of multiplexing is to develop fluorescent probes with emission profiles specifically tuned at distinct excitations toward their target applications. However, the lack of versatile probes with separated signals in this NIR-II window hinders the potential of in vivo multiplexed imaging. In this study, we designed three types of Nd3+-, Ho3+-, and Er3+-based down-shifting nanoparticles (DSNPs) with core-shell structures (csNd, csHo, and csEr). Excitation wavelengths of these nanoparticles were first screened and confirmed at 730, 915, and 655 nm. Under the new excitations, orthogonal three-color emissions in the NIR-II window (1060, 1180, and 1525 nm for csNd, csHo, and csEr, respectively) were efficiently achieved. These excitation-selective DSNPs were then demonstrated to be promising in encrypted anticounterfeiting applications with increased optical codes. By programmed administration of the DSNPs, anatomical rotation imaging can also be successfully performed to differentiate mouse bones, stomach, and blood vessels with high contrast and resolution in a fixed NIR-II channel (>1000 nm) by only switching the excitation wavelengths. This study suggests that the designed NIR-II excitation-selective DSNPs with orthogonal emissions may offer a powerful framework for spatially multiplexed imaging in biological and life sciences.

Abstract
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a technique that allows for the simultaneous acquisition of both spatial and spectral information. While HSI has been known for years in the field of remote sensing, for instance in geology, cultural heritage, or food industries, it recently emerged in the fields of nano- and micromaterials as well as bioimaging and -sensing. Herein, the attractiveness of HSI arises from the suitability for generating knowledge about environment-specific optical properties, such as photoluminescence of optical probes in a biological sample or at a single-crystal/particle level, to be leveraged into better understanding of structure-property relationships and nano-bio interactions, respectively. Moreover, given its excellent spectral resolution, HSI is highly suitable for optical multiplexing in multiple dimensions, as sought after for, e.g., high throughput biological imaging by simultaneous tracking of multiple targets. Overall, HSI is an emerging technique that has the potential to transform analytical approaches from biomedicine to advanced materials research. This Trends Article provides insight into the potential of HSI, highlighting selected examples from well-established fields including environmental monitoring and food quality control to set the stage for the discussion of emerging opportunities at the micro- and nanoscale. Herein, special focus is set on photoluminescent micro- and nanoprobes for health and spectral conversion applications.

Abstract
Label-free nonlinear optical imaging (NLOI) has made tremendous inroads toward unscrambling the microcosmic complexity of cancers. However, harmonic and Raman microscopy offers throughput without redox information to reveal metabolic differentiation, and fluorescence lifetime microscopy lacks the vibrational response of molecules to visualize specific molecular constituents such as lipid. Here, a flexible, robust simultaneous multi-nonlinear imaging and cross-modality system that combines complementary imaging contrast mechanisms is demonstrated. This system, utilizing multiplexed ultrashort pulses, ingeniously integrates typical nonlinear processes, and high-dimension lifetime extension in a single setup to enhance the imaging dimensions and quality. Using this system, the authors perform label-free comprehensive evaluation of clinicopathological tissues of ovarian carcinoma due to its statistical complexity. The results show that the technology provides statistically rich, insightful information with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, in contrast to standard histopathology, and can potentially be a powerful tool for fundamental cancer research and clinical applications.

ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:2344-2355. [PMID: 35071922 PMCID: PMC8772307 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c06236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The multiplexed luminescence oxygen channeling immunoassay (multi-LOCI) platform we developed recently that combines conventional LOCI and suspension array technology is capable of realizing facile "mix-and-measure" multiplexed assays without tedious washing steps. However, previous work lacks comprehensive studies of the structure-performance relationship of the host-guest-structured barcode, which may obstruct the evolution and further translation of this exciting new technology to practical applications. Accordingly, this work revealed that polyelectrolyte interlayers played a crucial role in tuning the packing density of guest acceptor beads (ABs). More interestingly, we noticed that "sparse" barcodes (barcodes with low ABs packing density) exhibited comparable assay performance with "compact" ones (barcodes with high ABs packing density). The high robustness of barcodes allows for multi-LOCI to be a more universal and flexible assay platform. Furthermore, through optimization of the assay system including the laser power, as well as the concentrations of donor beads and biotinylated detection antibodies, the multi-LOCI platform showed a significant improvement in sensitivity compared with our previous work, with the limit of detection decreasing to as low as ca. 1 pg/mL. Impressively, multi-LOCI that enabled simultaneous detection of multiple analytes exhibited comparable sensitivity with the classical single-plexed LOCI, due to the ingenious structural design of the multi-LOCI barcode and the unique "on-barcode" assay format.

Abstract
Integrating single cell omics and single cell imaging allows for a more effective characterisation of the underlying mechanisms that drive a phenotype at the tissue level, creating a comprehensive profile at the cellular level. Although the use of imaging data is well established in biomedical research, its primary application has been to observe phenotypes at the tissue or organ level, often using medical imaging techniques such as MRI, CT, and PET. These imaging technologies complement omics-based data in biomedical research because they are helpful for identifying associations between genotype and phenotype, along with functional changes occurring at the tissue level. Single cell imaging can act as an intermediary between these levels. Meanwhile new technologies continue to arrive that can be used to interrogate the genome of single cells and its related omics datasets. As these two areas, single cell imaging and single cell omics, each advance independently with the development of novel techniques, the opportunity to integrate these data types becomes more and more attractive. This review outlines some of the technologies and methods currently available for generating, processing, and analysing single-cell omics- and imaging data, and how they could be integrated to further our understanding of complex biological phenomena like ageing. We include an emphasis on machine learning algorithms because of their ability to identify complex patterns in large multidimensional data.

Abstract
The emerging optical multiplexing within nanoscale shows super-capacity in encoding information by using lifetime fingerprints from luminescent nanoparticles. However, the optical diffraction limit compromises the decoding accuracy and throughput of the nanoparticles during conventional widefield imaging. This, in turn, challenges the quality of nanoparticles to afford the modulated excitation condition and further retain the multiplexed optical fingerprints for super-resolution multiplexing. Here we report a tailor-made multiplexed super-resolution imaging method using the lifetime-engineered upconversion nanoparticles. We demonstrate that the nanoparticles are bright, uniform, and stable under structured illumination, which supports a lateral resolution of 185 nm, less than 1/4th of the excitation wavelength. We further develop a deep learning algorithm to coordinate with super-resolution images for more accurate decoding compared to a numeric algorithm. We demonstrate a three-channel super-resolution imaging based optical multiplexing with decoding accuracies above 93% for each channel and larger than 60% accuracy for potential seven-channel multiplexing. The improved resolution provides high throughput by resolving the particles within the diffraction-limited spots, which enables higher multiplexing capacity in space. This lifetime multiplexing super-resolution method opens a new horizon for handling the growing amount of information content, disease source, and security risk in modern society.

Abstract
Fluorescent microbeads are widely used for applications in life sciences and medical diagnosis. The spectral contrast and sharpness of photoluminescence are critical in the utilities of microbeads for imaging and multiplexing. Here, we demonstrate microbeads capable of generating single-peak laser emission with a sub-nanometer linewidth. The microbeads are made of quantum dots that are tightly packed and crosslinked via ligand exchange for high optical gain and refractive index as well as material stability. Bright single-mode lasing with no photobleaching is achieved with particle diameters as small as 1.5 μm in the air. Sub-nm lasing emission is maintained even inside high-index surroundings, such as organic solvents and biological tissues. Feasibility of intracellular tagging and multi-color imaging in vivo is demonstrated.

Abstract
Light is a powerful investigational tool in biomedicine, at all levels of structural organization. Its multitude of features (intensity, wavelength, polarization, interference, coherence, timing, non-linear absorption, and even interactions with itself) able to create contrast, and thus images that detail the makeup and functioning of the living state can and should be combined for maximum effect, especially if one seeks simultaneously high spatiotemporal resolution and discrimination ability within a living organism. The resulting high relevance should be directed towards a better understanding, detection of abnormalities, and ultimately cogent, precise, and effective intervention. The new optical methods and their combinations needed to address modern surgery in the operating room of the future, and major diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration are reviewed here, with emphasis on our own work and highlighting selected applications focusing on quantitation, early detection, treatment assessment, and clinical relevance, and more generally matching the quality of the optical detection approach to the complexity of the disease. This should provide guidance for future advanced theranostics, emphasizing a tighter coupling-spatially and temporally-between detection, diagnosis, and treatment, in the hope that technologic sophistication such as that of a Mars rover can be translationally deployed in the clinic, for saving and improving lives.

Abstract
Highly controlled synthesis of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can be achieved in the heterogeneous design, so that a library of optical properties can be arbitrarily produced by depositing multiple lanthanide ions. Such a control offers the potential in creating nanoscale barcodes carrying high-capacity information. With the increasing creation of optical information, it poses more challenges in decoding them in an accurate, high-throughput, and speedy fashion. Here, we reported that the deep-learning approach can recognize the complexity of the optical fingerprints from different UCNPs. Under a wide-field microscope, the lifetime profiles of hundreds of single nanoparticles can be collected at once, which offers a sufficient amount of data to develop deep-learning algorithms. We demonstrated that high accuracies of over 90% can be achieved in classifying 14 kinds of UCNPs. This work suggests new opportunities in handling the diverse properties of nanoscale optical barcodes toward the establishment of vast luminescent information carriers.

Abstract
The control in optical uniformity of single nanoparticles and tuning their diversity in multiple dimensions, dot to dot, holds the key to unlocking nanoscale applications. Here we report that the entire lifetime profile of the single upconversion nanoparticle (τ2 profile) can be resolved by confocal, wide-field, and super-resolution microscopy techniques. The advances in both spatial and temporal resolutions push the limit of optical multiplexing from microscale to nanoscale. We further demonstrate that the time-domain optical fingerprints can be created by utilizing nanophotonic upconversion schemes, including interfacial energy migration, concentration dependency, energy transfer, and isolation of surface quenchers. We exemplify that three multiple dimensions, including the excitation wavelength, emission color, and τ2 profile, can be built into the nanoscale derivative τ2-dots. Creating a vast library of individually preselectable nanotags opens up a new horizon for diverse applications, spanning from sub-diffraction-limit data storage to high-throughput single-molecule digital assays and super-resolution imaging.

Abstract
Fluorescent dyes that exhibit high solid state quantum yields and sensitivity to the mechanical properties of their local environment are useful for a wide variety of applications, but are limited in chemical diversity. We report a trityl-functionalised maleimide that displays rigidochromic behaviour, becoming highly fluorescent when immobilised in a solid matrix, while displaying negligible fluorescence in solution. Furthermore, the dye's quantum yield is shown to be sensitive to the nature of the surrounding matrix. Computational studies reveal that this behaviour arises from the precise tuning of inter- and intramolecular noncovalent interactions. This work expands the diversity of molecules exhibiting solid state environment sensitivity, and provides important fundamental insights into their design.

Abstract
With the advent of the big data era, information storage and security are becoming increasingly important. However, high capacity information storage and multilevel anti-counterfeiting are typically difficult to achieve simultaneously. To address this challenge, herein, two electrochromic and electrofluorochromic dual-functional polymers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics were rationally designed and facilely prepared. Upon applying voltages, the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the AIE polymers can undergo reversible changes, accompanied by variation of their color and emission. By utilizing the controllable characteristics of the polymers, dual-mode display devices were fabricated via a simple spraying technique. More interestingly, a four-dimensional color code device was constructed by adding color change multiplexing to the two-dimensional space, thereby achieving high capacity information storage. Moreover, the color code device can also be applied in the multilevel anti-counterfeiting area. The encrypted information can be dynamically converted under different voltages. Thus, the AIE polymers show great promise for applications in multidimensional information storage and dynamic anti-counterfeiting, and the design strategy may provide a new avenue for advanced information storage and high security technology.

Abstract
Polymer microspheres can be fluorescently-coded for multiplexing molecular analysis, but their usage has been limited by fluorescent quenching and bleaching and crowded spectral domain with issues of cross-talks and background interference. Each bioassay step of mixing and separation of analytes and reagents require off-line particle handling procedures. Here, we report that stray magnetic fields can code and decode a collection of hierarchically-assembled beads. By the microfluidic assembling of mesoscopic superparamagnetic cores, diverse and non-volatile stray magnetic field response can be built in the series of microscopic spheres, dumbbells, pears, chains and triangles. Remarkably, the set of stray magnetic field fingerprints are readily discerned by a compact giant magnetoresistance sensor for parallelised screening of multiple distinctive pathogenic DNAs. This opens up the magneto-multiplexing opportunity and could enable streamlined assays to incorporate magneto-mixing, washing, enrichment and separation of analytes. This strategy therefore suggests a potential point-of-care testing solution for efficient kinetic assays.

Abstract
Precise design and fabrication of heterogeneous nanostructures will enable nanoscale devices to integrate multiple desirable functionalities. But due to the diffraction limit (~200 nm), the optical uniformity and diversity within the heterogeneous functional nanostructures are hardly controlled and characterized. Here, we report a set of heterogeneous nanorods; each optically active section has its unique nonlinear response to donut-shaped illumination, so that one can discern each section with super-resolution. To achieve this, we first realize an approach of highly controlled epitaxial growth and produce a range of heterogeneous structures. Each section along the nanorod structure displays tunable upconversion emissions, in four optical dimensions, including color, lifetime, excitation wavelength, and power dependency. Moreover, we demonstrate a 210 nm single nanorod as an extremely small polychromatic light source for the on-demand generation of RGB photonic emissions. This work benchmarks our ability toward the full control of sub-diffraction-limit optical diversities of single heterogeneous nanoparticles. Development of functional nanostructures can enable a range of applications in imaging and nanoscale science. Here, the authors fabricate and characterize complex heterogeneous nanorods with diverse, tunable sub-wavelength structures.

Abstract
A key current challenge in biological research is the elucidation of the that roles chemicals and chemical reactions play in cellular function and dysfunction. Of the available cellular imaging techniques, fluorescence imaging offers a balance between sensitivity and resolution, enabling the cost-effective and rapid visualisation of model biological systems. Importantly, the use of responsive fluorescent probes in conjunction with ever-advancing microscopy and flow cytometry techniques enables the visualisation, with high spatiotemporal resolution, of both specific chemical species and chemical reactions in living cells. Ideal responsive fluorescent probes are those that contain a fluorophore tethered to both a sensing unit, to ensure selectivity of response, and a targeting group, to control the sub-cellular localisation of the probe. To date, probes that are both targeted and selective are relatively rare and most localised probes are discovered serendipitously rather than by design. A challenge in this field is therefore the identification of suitable fluorophore scaffolds that can be readily attached to both sensing and targeting groups. Here we review current strategies for dual-functionalisation of fluorophores, highlighting key examples of targeted, responsive probes.

Abstract
AbstractFluorescent barcoding is a pivotal technique for the investigation of the microscale world, from information storage to the monitoring of dynamic biochemical processes. Using fluorescence lifetime as the readout modality offers more reproducible and quantitative outputs compared to conventional fluorescent barcoding, being independent of sample concentration and measurement methods. However, the use of fluorescence lifetime in this area has been limited by the lack of strategies that provide spatiotemporal manipulation of the coding process. In this study, we design a two-component photo-switchable nanogel that exhibits variable fluorescence lifetime upon photoisomerization-induced energy transfer processes through light irradiation. This remotely manipulated fluorescence lifetime property could be visually mapped using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), allowing selective storage and display of information at the microscale. Most importantly, the reversibility of this system further provides a strategy for minimizing the background influence in fluorescence lifetime imaging of live cells and sub-cellular organelles.

Abstract
Conventional organic dye encoding is limited by photo-bleaching and spectral overlap, thus restricting the number of distinguishable codes that can be used in practice. The utility of a single dye for increasing additional encoding capacity has yet to be explored. To this end, we firstly report a facile, flexible and green sustainable method to maximize the time-resolved encoding capacity of the xanthene red dye, eosin. By simply adjusting the concentration, pH and viscosity of the eosin solution, eleven distinguishable populations of fluorescence lifetimes were obtained with a short lifetime range of 1.0-3.4 ns, which in turn could increase the difficulty of duplication and provide extra high-level security protection. The results provide a facile strategy to increase the temporal multiplexing capacity, and may result in the reuse of existing organic dyes as lifetime-coded polymer microspheres in the fields of information security.

Abstract
Barcoding facilitates high-throughput analytical methods in complex matrixes with a reduced volume of sample, reagents, time, and cost. Because of orthogonality to fluorescence, photon-upconversion barcodes attracted considerable attention in recent years. We constructed an epiluminescence detector, which, for the first time, demonstrated the reading of photon-upconversion spectra from microdroplets in a microfluidic chip with frequency up to 10 Hz. Non-negative least-squares deconvolution enabled the reading of an unprecedented number of photon-upconversion barcode channels (six) from emission spectra (excitation 980 nm, emission 430-875 nm). The standard deviation of barcode reading from microdroplets was ∼1%. Described barcoding can be, for example, used for multiparameter titrations, multiplexed biological and chemical assays, optimizations on a microfluidic platform, and preparation of barcoded concentration gradients and libraries.

Abstract
Miniaturized laboratories on chip platforms play an important role in handling life sciences studies. The platforms may contain static or dynamic biological cells. Examples are a fixed medium of an organ-on-a-chip and individual cells moving in a microfluidic channel, respectively. Due to feasibility of control or investigation and ethical implications of live targets, both static and dynamic cell-on-chip platforms promise various applications in biology. To extract necessary information from the experiments, the demand for direct monitoring is rapidly increasing. Among different microscopy methods, optical imaging is a straightforward choice. Considering light interaction with biological agents, imaging signals may be generated as a result of scattering or emission effects from a sample. Thus, optical imaging techniques could be categorized into scattering-based and emission-based techniques. In this review, various optical imaging approaches used in monitoring static and dynamic platforms are introduced along with their optical systems, advantages, challenges, and applications. This review may help biologists to find a suitable imaging technique for different cell-on-chip studies and might also be useful for the people who are going to develop optical imaging systems in life sciences studies.
