Abstract
Temperature regulates nonradiative processes in luminescent materials, fundamental to luminescence nanothermometry. However, elevated temperatures often suppress the radiative process, limiting the sensitivity of thermometers. Here, we introduce an approach to populating the excited state of lanthanides at elevated temperatures, resulting in a sizable lifetime lengthening and intensity increase of the near-infrared (NIR)-II emission. The key is to create a five-energy-level system and use a pair of lanthanides to leverage the cross-relaxation process. We observed the lifetime of NIR-II emission of Er3+ has been remarkably increased from 3.85 to 7.54 ms by codoping only 0.5 mol % Ce3+ at 20 °C and further increased to 7.80 ms when increasing the temperature to 40 °C. Moreover, this concept is universal across four ion pairs and remains stable within aqueous nanoparticles. Our findings emphasize the need to design energy transfer systems that overcome the constraint of thermal quenching, enabling efficient imaging and sensing.

Abstract
Second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging (FLI) has gained widespread interest in the biomedical field because of its advantages of high sensitivity and high penetration depth. In particular, rare earth-doped nanoprobes (RENPs) have shown completely different physical and chemical properties from macroscopic substances owing to their unique size and structure. This paper reviews the synthesis methods and types of RENPs for NIR-II imaging, focusing on new methods to enhance the luminous intensity of RENPs and multi-band imaging and multi-mode imaging of RENPs in biological applications. This review also presents an overview of the challenges and future development prospects based on RENPs in NIR-II regional bioimaging.

Abstract
Photoactive chromium(III) complexes saw a conceptual breakthrough with the discovery of the prototypical molecular ruby mer-[Cr(ddpd)2]3+ (ddpd = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dipyridin-2-ylpyridine-2,6-diamine), which shows intense long-lived near-infrared (NIR) phosphorescence from metal-centered spin-flip states. In contrast to the numerous studies on chromium(III) photophysics, only 10 luminescent molybdenum(III) complexes have been reported so far. Here, we present the synthesis and characterization of mer-MoX3(ddpd) (1, X = Cl; 2, X = Br) and cisfac-[Mo(ddpd)2]3+ (cisfac-[3]3+), an isomeric heavy homologue of the prototypical molecular ruby. For cisfac-[3]3+, we found strong zero-field splitting using magnetic susceptibility measurements and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Electronic spectra covering the spin-forbidden transitions show that the spin-flip states in mer-1, mer-2, and cisfac-[3]3+ are much lower in energy than those in comparable chromium(III) compounds. While all three complexes show weak spin-flip phosphorescence in NIR-II, the emission of cisfac-[3]3+ peaking at 1550 nm is particularly low in energy. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy reveals a short excited-state lifetime of 1.4 ns, 6 orders of magnitude shorter than that of mer-[Cr(ddpd)2]3+. Using density functional theory and ab initio multireference calculations, we break down the reasons for this disparity and derive principles for the design of future stable photoactive molybdenum(III) complexes.

Abstract
Smuggling methods are renovating with more diversified, complicated means, thereby developing concealed and non-sensitive luggage identification technology is of great significance. Herein, for the first time, the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-2500 nm) concealed imaging for identifying smuggled baggage based on organic small molecule luminescent material was studied. A small molecule luminescent material (Y6) with the excitation in invisible near-infrared (NIR) light was used to generate fluorescence-emission in NIR-II region. The traceless Y6 sprayed on the surface of criminal luggage does not emit light under visible light irradiation, but shows hidden NIR-II signs under NIR excitation that can prevent the suspects to find abnormality and lose their luggage. The Y6 organic luminescent material has invisibility, low toxicity, long-term fluorescence stability and high transparency. This NIR-II fluorescence imaging technology can be used as a new type of concealed baggage marking, which is of great significance to help the customs combat smuggling crimes.

Abstract
Second near infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence lifetime imaging is a powerful tool for biosensing, anti-counterfeiting, and multiplex imaging. However, the low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of fluorescence probes in NIR-II region limits its data collecting efficiency and accuracy, especially in multiplex molecular imaging in vivo. To solve this problem, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (NPs) β-NaErF4 : 2%Ce@NaYbF4 @NaYF4 with high PLQY and tunable PL lifetime through multi-ion doping and core-shell structural design, are presented. The obtained internal PLQY can reach up to 50.1% in cyclohexane and 9.2% in water under excitation at 980 nm. Inspired by the above results, a fast NIR-II fluorescence lifetime imaging of whole-body vascular in mice is successfully performed by using the homebuilt fluorescence lifetime imaging system, which reveals a murine abdominal capillary network with low background. A further demonstration of fluorescence lifetime multiplex imaging is carried out in molecular imaging of atherosclerosis cells and different organs in vivo through NPs conjugating with specific peptides and different injection modalities, respectively. These results demonstrate that the high PLQY NPs combined with the homebuilt fluorescence lifetime imaging system can realize a fast and high signal-to-noise fluorescence lifetime imaging; thus, opening a road for multiplex molecular imaging of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
In the current work, germanate phosphors Li2MgGeO4:Ln3+ (Ln = Pr, Tm) have been synthesized and then investigated using luminescence spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrate that ceramic compounds Li2MgGeO4 containing Pr3+ and Tm3+ ions crystallize in a monoclinic crystal lattice. Luminescence properties of Pr3+ and Tm3+ ions have been examined under different excitation wavelengths. The most intense blue emission band related to the 1D2 → 3F4 transition of Tm3+ is overlaps well with broad band located near 500 nm, which is assigned to F-type centers. These effects are not evident for Pr3+ ions. Ceramic phosphors Li2MgGeO4:Ln3+ (Ln = Pr, Tm) are characterized based on measurements of the excitation/emission spectra and their decays. The experimental results indicate that germanate ceramics Li2MgGeO4 doped with trivalent rare earth ions can be applied as inorganic phosphors emitting orange (Pr3+) or blue (Tm3+) light.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) has become a prevalent choice owing to its appealing advantages like deep penetration depth, low autofluorescence, decent spatiotemporal resolution, and a high signal-to-background ratio. This would expedite the innovation of NIR-II imaging-guided drug delivery (IGDD) paradigms for the improvement of the prognosis of patients with tumors. This work systematically reviews the recent progress of such NIR-II IGDD-mediated cancer therapeutics and collectively brings its essence to the readers. Special care has been taken to assess their performances based on their design approach, such as enhancing their drug loading and triggering release, designing intrinsic and extrinsic fluorophores, and/ or overcoming biological barriers. Besides, the state-of-the-art NIR-II IGDD platforms for different therapies like chemo-, photodynamic, photothermal, chemodynamic, immuno-, ion channel, gas-therapies, and multiple functions such as stimulus-responsive imaging and therapy, and monitoring of drug release and therapeutic response, have been updated. In addition, for boosting theranostic outcomes and clinical translation, the innovation directions of NIR-II IGDD platforms are summarized, including renal-clearable, biodegradable, sub-cellular targeting, and/or afterglow, chemiluminescence, X-ray excitable NIR-IGDD, and even cell therapy. This review will propel new directions for safe and efficient NIR-II fluorescence-mediated anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Heterogeneous cells are the main feature of tumors with unique genetic and phenotypic characteristics, which can stimulate differentially the progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. Importantly, heterogeneity is pervasive in human malignant tumors, and identification of the degree of tumor heterogeneity in individual tumors and progression is a critical task for tumor treatment. However, current medical tests cannot meet these needs; in particular, the need for noninvasive visualization of single-cell heterogeneity. Near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) imaging exhibits an exciting prospect for non-invasive monitoring due to the high temporal-spatial resolution. More importantly, NIR-II imaging displays more extended tissue penetration depths and reduced tissue backgrounds because of the significantly lower photon scattering and tissue autofluorescence than traditional the near-infrared I (NIR-I) imaging. In this review, we summarize systematically the advances made in NIR-II in tumor imaging, especially in the detection of tumor heterogeneity and progression as well as in tumor treatment. As a non-invasive visual inspection modality, NIR-II imaging shows promising prospects for understanding the differences in tumor heterogeneity and progression and is envisioned to have the potential to be used clinically.

Abstract
Ion channels are transmembrane proteins ubiquitously expressed in all cells that control various ions (e.g. Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Cl- etc) crossing cellular plasma membrane, which play critical roles in physiological processes including regulating signal transduction, cell proliferation as well as excitatory cell excitation and conduction. Abnormal ion channel function is usually associated with dysfunctions and many diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders, ophthalmic diseases, pulmonary diseases and even cancers. The precise regulation of ion channels not only helps to decipher physiological and pathological processes, but also is expected to become cutting-edge means for disease treatment. Recently, nanoparticles-mediated ion channel manipulation emerges as a highly promising way to meet the increasing requirements with respect to their simple, efficient, precise, spatiotemporally controllable and non-invasive regulation in biomedicine and other research frontiers. Thanks the advantages of their unique properties, nanoparticles can not only directly block the pore sites or kinetics of ion channels through their tiny size effect, and perturb active voltage-gated ion channel by their charged surface, but they can also act as antennas to conduct or enhance external physical stimuli to achieve spatiotemporal, precise and efficient regulation of various ion channel activities (e.g. light-, mechanical-, and temperature-gated ion channels etc). So far, nanoparticles-mediated ion channel regulation has shown potential prospects in many biomedical fields at the interfaces of neuro- and cardiovascular modulation, physiological function regeneration and tumor therapy et al. Towards such important fields, in this typical review, we specifically outline the latest studies of different types of ion channels and their activities relevant to the diseases. In addition, the different types of stimulation responsive nanoparticles, their interaction modes and targeting strategies towards the plasma membrane ion channels will be systematically summarized. More importantly, the ion channel regulatory methods mediated by functional nanoparticles and their bioapplications associated with physiological modulation and therapeutic development will be discussed. Last but not least, current challenges and future perspectives in this field will be covered as well.

Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) imaging has become a fundamental tool in disease diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation, and surgical navigation applications. However, it remains a big challenge to engineer nanoprobes for high-efficiency in vivo imaging and clinical translation. Recent years have witnessed increasing research efforts devoted into engineering sub-10 nm ultrasmall nanoprobes for in vivo PL imaging, which offer the advantages of efficient body clearance, desired clinical translation potential, and high imaging signal-to-noise ratio. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary and contrastive discussion of emerging ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes towards in vivo PL bioimaging of diseases. We first summarize size-dependent nano-bio interactions and imaging features, illustrating the unique attributes and advantages/disadvantages of ultrasmall nanoprobes differentiating them from molecular and large-sized probes. We also discuss general design methodologies and PL properties of emerging ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes, which are established based on quantum dots, metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and silicon nanoparticles. Then, recent advances of ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes are highlighted by surveying their latest in vivo PL imaging applications. Finally, we discuss existing challenges in this exciting field and propose some strategies to improve in vivo PL bioimaging and further propel their clinical applications.

Bright Tm 3+-based downshifting luminescence nanoprobe operating around 1800 nm for NIR-IIb and c bioimaging. Nat Commun 2023; 14:1079. [PMID: 36841808 PMCID: PMC9968279 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-36813-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Fluorescence bioimaging based on rare-earth-doped nanocrystals (RENCs) in the shortwave infrared (SWIR, 1000-3000 nm) region has aroused intense interest due to deeper penetration depth and clarity. However, their downshifting emission rarely shows sufficient brightness beyond 1600 nm, especially in NIR-IIc. Here, we present a class of thulium (Tm) self-sensitized RENC fluorescence probes that exhibit bright downshifting luminescence at 1600-2100 nm (NIR-IIb/c) for in vivo bioimaging. An inert shell coating minimizes surface quenching and combines strong cross-relaxation, allowing LiTmF4@LiYF4 NPs to emit these intense downshifting emissions by absorbing NIR photons at 800 nm (large Stokes shift ~1000 nm with a absolute quantum yield of ~14.16%) or 1208 nm (NIR-IIin and NIR-IIout). Furthermore, doping with Er3+ for energy trapping achieves four-wavelength NIR irradiation and bright NIR-IIb/c emission. Our results show that Tm-based NPs, as NIR-IIb/c nanoprobes with high signal-to-background ratio and clarity, open new opportunities for future applications and translation into diverse fields.

Abstract
New imaging agents are required in cancer diagnosis to enhance the diagnostic accuracy, classification, and therapeutic management of tumors. Nanomaterials have emerged as a promising alternative to developing new nanostructures with imaging applications. In this study, a heterostructure based on barium titanate (BT), zinc oxide (ZnO), and erbium (Er) was prepared and coated with Chitosan (CS) to investigate their stability and compatibility with biological systems. The structure, particle morphology, luminescence properties, stability, and cytotoxicity of different nanoparticles (NPs) were assessed. The results demonstrated the formation of a [BT@ZnO:Er]-CS heterostructure, which is consistent with the relative intensities and positions of peaks in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) with an average crystallite size of ~76 nm. The electrokinetic measurement results indicate that the coated NPs are the most stable and have an average size close to 200 nm when the pH is between 3 and 5. Finally, we presented a cytotoxicity study of naked and CS-coated NPs. The results indicate that naked NPs exhibit varying cellular toxicity, as indicated by decreased cell viability, morphological changes, and an increase in an apoptotic marker. The CS-coated NPs prevented the cytotoxic effect of the naked NPs, demonstrating the significance of CS as a stabilizing agent.

Abstract
Trivalent lanthanides are commonly incorporated into sodium yttrium fluoride nanocrystals to enhance their optical properties. Lanthanides are expected to randomly replace trivalent yttrium cations due to their isovalent nature, and the dopant-dopant distance decreases with increasing dopant concentration. Combining spectroscopy with quantum mechanical calculations, we find that large lanthanides exhibit an anisotropic distribution in the hexagonal yttrium sublattice at low dopant concentrations. This counterintuitive substitution suggests the formation of one-dimensional dimers or chains with short dopant-dopant distances. Our study of the distance-sensitive cross-relaxation between Nd3+ dopants in β-NaYF4 nanocrystals confirms that the concentration quenching threshold is lower than that of their cubic counterparts, consistent with the proposed chain-like model. Moreover, we demonstrate modulation of the anisotropic distribution by microstrain management via alkali metal codoping. Research into dopant distribution in inorganic crystals may enable the development of new materials and properties for future challenges.

Abstract
Organic molecules having emission in the NIR(II) region are emergent and receiving enormous attention. Unfortunately, attaining accountable organic emission intensity around the NIR(II) region is hampered by the dominant internal conversion operated by the energy gap law, where the emission energy gap and the associated internal reorganization energy λint play key roles. Up to the current stage, the majority of the reported organic NIR(II) emitters belong to those polymethines terminated by two symmetric chromophores. Such a design has proved to have a small λint that greatly suppresses the internal conversion. However, the imposition of symmetric chromophores is stringent, limiting further development of organic NIR(II) dyes in diversity and versatility. Here, we propose a new concept where as far as the emissive state of the any asymmetric polymethines contains more or less equally transition density between two terminated chromophores, λint can be as small as that of the symmetric polymethines. To prove the concept, we synthesize a series of new polymethines terminated by xanthen-9-yl-benzoic acid and 2,4-diphenylthiopyrylium derivatives, yielding AJBF1112 and AEBF1119 that reveal emission peak wavelength at 1112 and 1119 nm, respectively. The quantum yield is higher than all synthesized symmetric polymethines of 2,4-diphenylthiopyrylium derivatives (SC1162, 1182, 1185, and 1230) in this study. λint were calculated to be as small as 6.2 and 7.3 kcal/mol for AJBF1112 and AEBF1119, respectively, proving the concept. AEBF1119 was further prepared as a polymer dot to demonstrate its in vitro specific cellular imaging and in vivo tumor/bone targeting in the NIR(II) region.

Abstract
Bioimaging enables the spatiotemporal visualization of biological processes at various scales empowered by a range of different imaging modalities and contrast agents. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) represent a distinct type of such contrast agents with the potential to transform bioimaging due to their unique optical properties and functional design flexibilities. This review explores and discusses the opportunities, challenges, and limitations that UCNPs exhibit as bioimaging probes and highlights applications with spatial dimensions ranging from the single nanoparticle level to cellular, tissue, and whole animal imaging. We further summarized recent advancements in bioimaging applications enabled by UCNPs, including super-resolution techniques and multimodal imaging methods, and provide a perspective on the future potential of UCNP-based technologies in bioimaging research and clinical translation. This review may provide a valuable resource for researchers interested in exploring and applying UCNP-based bioimaging technologies.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are extremely promising for theranostic applications. However, their interest depends largely on their interactions with immune system, including the capacity to activate inflammation after their capture by macrophages. In the present study, we generated monodisperse poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) NPs loaded with hydrophobic photoluminescent gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) emitting in the NIR-II optical windows and studied their interaction in vitro with J774.1A macrophages. PEMA NPs showed an efficient time and dose dependent cellular uptake with up to 70 % of macrophages labelled in 24 h without detectable cell death. Interestingly, PEMA and Au-PEMA NPs induced an anti-inflammatory response and a strong down-regulation of nitric oxide level on lipopolysacharides (LPS) activated macrophages, but without influence on the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These polymeric NPs may thus present a potential interest for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Lanthanide luminescence nanothermometers (LNTs) provide microscopic, highly sensitive, and visualizable optical signals for reporting temperature information, which is particularly useful in biomedicine to achieve precise diagnosis and therapy. However, LNTs with efficient emissions at the long-wavelength region of the second and the third near-infrared (NIR-II/III) biological window, which is more favourable for in vivo thermometry, are still limited. Herein, we present a lanthanide-doped nanocomposite with Tm3+ and Nd3+ ions as emitters working beyond 1200 nm to construct a dual ratiometric LNT. The cross-relaxation processes among lanthanide ions are employed to establish a strategy to enhance the NIR emissions of Tm3+ for bioimaging-based temperature detection in vivo. The dual ratiometric probes included in the nanocomposite have potential in monitoring the temperature difference and heat transfer at the nanoscale, which would be useful in modulating the heating operation more precisely during thermal therapy and other biomedical applications. This work not only provides a powerful tool for temperature sensing in vivo but also proposes a method to build high-efficiency NIR-II/III lanthanide luminescent nanomaterials for broader bio-applications.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of neutrophil dynamics is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective treatment of inflammation-related diseases, which requires a reliable tracer for in vivo tracking of neutrophils. However, immunotracers for neutrophils are extremely limited because of the difficulty in labeling the cells. Inspired by the natural biological function of the complement system, a strategy of enhancing the complement C3 opsonization of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LnNPs) by modulating their surface chemistry, thus developing a near infrared-IIb emissive nanotracer for neutrophils, is reported herein. Four kinds of surface-modified LnNPs are fabricated, among which phospholipids DOPG-modified LnNPs (LnNPs@PG) with weak antifouling ability and hydroxyl groups adsorb more complement C3 proteins and form covalent linkages with C3b active fragments under inflammation conditions, inducing enhanced complement C3 opsonization. Therefore, LnNPs@PG with enhanced complement C3 opsonization are capable of efficiently labeling inflammation-stimulated neutrophils in vivo through complement-receptors-mediated phagocytosis and achieve dynamic monitoring neutrophils during cutaneous wound healing and cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have gained more attention from researchers due to their unique properties of photon conversion from an excitation/incident wavelength to a more suitable emission wavelength at a designated site, thus improving the scope in the life sciences field. Due to their fascinating and unique optical properties, UCNPs offer attractive opportunities in theranostics for early diagnostics and treatment of deadly diseases such as cancer. Also, several efforts have been made on emerging approaches for the fabrication and surface functionalization of luminescent UCNPs in optical biosensing applications using various infrared excitation wavelengths. In this review, we discussed the recent advancements of UCNP-based analytical chemistry approaches for sensing and theranostics using a 980 nm laser as the excitation source. The key analytical merits of UNCP-integrated fluorescence analytical approaches for assaying a wide variety of target analytes are discussed. We have described the mechanisms of the upconversion (UC) process, and the application of surface-modified UCNPs for in vitro/in vivo bioimaging, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT). Based on the latest scientific achievements, the advantages and disadvantages of UCNPs in biomedical and optical applications are also discussed to overcome the shortcomings and to improve the future study directions. This review delivers beneficial practical information of UCNPs in the past few years, and insights into their research in various fields are also discussed precisely.

Abstract
Fluorescent bio/chemosensors are widely used in the field of biological research and medical diagnosis, with the advantages of non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, and good selectivity. In particular, luminescent bio/chemosensors, based on lanthanide nanocrystals (LnNCs) with a second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission, have attracted much attention, owing to greater penetration depth, aside from the merits of narrow emission band, abundant emission lines, and long lifetimes. In this review, NIR-II LnNCs-based bio/chemo sensors are summarized from the perspectives of the mechanisms of NIR-II luminescence, synthesis method of LnNCs, strategy of luminescence enhancement, sensing mechanism, and targeted bio/chemo category. Finally, the problems that exist in present LnNCs-based bio/chemosensors are discussed, and the future development trend is prospected.

Abstract
Acute alcoholic liver injury (AALI) is hard to diagnose on account of no obvious clinical symptoms, and thereby it easily develops into serious liver diseases and threatens people's health. However, traditional methods for detecting AALI are far from satisfactory due to the low sensitivity, invasiveness and non-visualization, and the development of new techniques is in urgent demand. Near-infrared (NIR)-II fluorescence imaging has been widely studied in biochemistry and biomedicine. As the blood flow velocity of the liver is closely related to the progression of AALI, herein, a NIR-II fluorescent nanoprobe, NTPB-NPs, was applied to diagnose AALI by monitoring the fluorescence intensity changes in the liver caused by the variations of the blood flow velocity. More importantly, when medication was applied to alleviate the liver injury of AALI mice, NTPB-NPs could also track the therapeutic effect in situ. In this study, the relationship between hepatic vascular velocity and the progression of AALI was confirmed with NTPB-NPs via NIR-II imaging. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a NIR-II fluorescence imaging technique has been used to diagnose AALI mice and evaluate the therapeutic effect on AALI mice. This study may also provide a potential NIR-II imaging agent for clinical research to improve the management of liver injury related diseases.

Abstract
Near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence imaging is widely used for in vivo biological imaging. With the unique electronic structures and capability of band-gap engineering, two-dimensional (2D) materials can be potential candidates for NIR-II imaging. Herein, a theoretical investigation of the electronic structure and optical properties of iodine (I)-doped monolayer MoTe2 systems with different doping concentrations is carried out through simulations to explore their NIR optical properties. The results suggest that the emergence of impurity levels due to I doping effectively reduces the bandwidth of I-doped monolayer MoTe2 systems, and the bandwidth decreases with the increase in the I doping concentration. Although the I and Mo atoms possess clear covalent-bonding features according to the charge density difference, impurity levels induced by the strong hybridization between the I 5p and Mo 4d orbitals cross the Fermi level, making the doped systems exhibit metallic behavior. In addition, with the increase in the I doping concentration, the energy required for electron transition from valence bands to impurity levels gradually decreases, which can be linked to the enhancement of the optical absorption in the red-shifted NIR-II region. Meanwhile, with a higher I doping concentration, the emission spectra, which are the product of the absorption spectra and quasi-Fermi distributions for electrons and holes, can be enhanced in the NIR-II window.

Abstract
The influence of solvent polarity and surface ligand rigidification on the SWIR emission profile of gold nanoclusters with an anistropic surface was investigated. A strong enhancement of the SWIR emission band at 1200 nm was observed when measuring in different local environments: in solution, in polymer composites, and in solids. SWIR in vivo imaging of mice assisted by deep learning after intravenous administration of these gold nanoclusters provides high definition pseudo-3D views of vascular blood vessels.

Abstract
Optical imaging, especially fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging, possesses non-invasiveness, high spatial and temporal resolution, and high sensitivity, etc., compared to positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Due to the merits from the second near infrared (NIR-II) window imaging, like deeper penetration depth, high signal-to-noise ratio, high resolution, and low tissue damage, researchers devote great efforts to develop contrast agents with NIR-II absorption or emission. In this review, we summarized recently developed organic luminescent and photoacoustic materials, ranging from small molecules to conjugated polymers. Then, we systematically introduced engineering strategies and their imaging performance, classified by the skeleton cores. Finally, we elucidated the challenges and prospective of these NIR-II organic dyes for potential clinical applications. We hope our summary can inspire further development of NIR-II contrast agents.

Abstract
Research in novel materials has been extremely active over the past few decades, wherein a major area of interest has been nanoparticles with special optical properties. These structures can overcome some of the intrinsic limitations of contrast agents routinely used in medical practice, while offering additional functionalities. Materials that absorb or scatter near infrared light, to which biological tissues are partially transparent, have attracted significant attention and demonstrated their potential in preclinical research. In this review, we provide an at-a-glance overview of the most recent developments in near infrared nanoparticles that could have far-reaching applications in the life sciences. We focus on materials that offer additional functionalities besides diagnosis based on optical contrast: multiple imaging modalities (multimodal imaging), sensing of physical and chemical cues (multivariate diagnosis), or therapeutic activity (theranostics). Besides presenting relevant case studies for each class of optically active materials, we discuss their design and safety considerations, detailing the potential hurdles that may complicate their clinical translation. While multifunctional nanomaterials have shown promise in preclinical research, the field is still in its infancy; there is plenty of room to maximize its impact in preclinical studies as well as to deliver it to the clinics.

Abstract
Imaging in the second near-infrared II (NIR-II) window, a kind of biomedical imaging technology with characteristics of high sensitivity, high resolution, and real-time imaging, is commonly used in the diagnosis of brain diseases. Compared with the conventional visible light (400-750 nm) and NIR-I (750-900 nm) imaging, the NIR-II has a longer wavelength of 1000-1700 nm. Notably, the superiorities of NIR-II can minimize the light scattering and autofluorescence of biological tissue with the depth of brain tissue penetration up to 7.4 mm. Herein, we summarized the main principles of NIR-II in animal models of traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular visualization, brain tumor, inflammation, and stroke. Simultaneously, we encapsulated the in vivo process of NIR-II probes and their in vivo and in vitro toxic effects. We further dissected its limitations and following optimization measures.

Abstract
Acute alcoholic liver injury (AALI) is a threat to human health. Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide (DOP) has the potential to protect the liver by enhancing the anti-oxidative system to maintain the relative balance of ROS (active oxygen species) and antioxidants in AALI mice. However, the dynamic improvement effect of DOP on AALI is still not clear and accurate medication guidance is not available, which limits the clinical application of DOP. Because of the advantages of high sensitivity, noninvasiveness, and visualization, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging has been widely studied in biochemistry and biomedicine. As the glutathione (GSH) level in the liver is closely related to the progression of AALI, herein, an NIR fluorescent probe for GSH, HCG was used to dynamically evaluate the effect of DOP on AALI mice. In this study, DOP was proven to maintain the relative balance of GSH content in the liver to protect it from damage. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to assess the effect of DOP on AALI mice through a NIR fluorescence imaging technique. This study may also provide a potential NIR imaging agent for the clinical research to improve the management of liver injury-related diseases.
