Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) poses a significant risk to human health. Increasing evidence indicates that the superoxide anion (O2•-), as the precursor of the other reactive oxygen species, is key in the pathological processes associated with DILI. Nonetheless, understanding of the mechanisms of DILI is difficult due to the lack of an imaging tool for monitoring the fluctuation of O2•- levels during the progression of DILI. Herein, we developed an upconversion nanoprobe (Rbh-UCNs) for in vivo ratiometric tracking of endogenous O2•- in DILI. In this design, the addition of O2•- triggers the luminescent resonance energy transfer between Rbh and UCNs, which significantly enhances absorption centered at 534 nm and translates into a distinct decrease of the UCL emission at 543 nm, while the UCL emission peak at 654 nm and 800 nm are not significantly affected, offering a ratiometric UCL signal for the quantitative detection of O2•-. In addition, Rbh-UCNs could effectively visualize endogenous O2•- in living cells, zebrafish, and liver tissues upon stimulation with PMA or cisplatin. More importantly, tissue imaging of the liver region of mice revealed that the fluctuation of O2•- levels is associated with DILI and the protective effect of L-carnitine against DILI. Altogether, this study provides an available method for a deeper comprehension of the mechanisms underlying DILI and accelerating the development process of hepatoprotective medicines.

Abstract
Lysosomal acidity relies on H+ inflow, which requires counter-ion flows (Cl- and K+) to balance charge. A lysosome targeting ternary recognition fluorescent probe for Cl-, K+, and pH was developed for lysosome acidification counter-ion research. The probe was used to study counter-ion changes when the Cl- channel was blocked and under oxidative pressure.

Abstract
Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion is a bimolecular process converting low-energy photons into high-energy photons. Here, we report a calcium-sensing system working via triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) upconverted emission. The probe itself was obtained by covalent conjugation of a blue emitter, perylene, with a calcium-chelating moiety, and it was sensitized by the red-light-absorbing photosensitizer palladium(II) tetraphenyltetrabenzoporphyrin (PdTPTBP). Sensing was selective for Ca2+ and occurred in the micromolar domain. In deoxygenated conditions, the TTA upconverted luminescence gradually appeared upon adding an increasing concentration of calcium ions, to reach a maximum upconversion quantum yield of 0.0020.

Abstract
As an integral organelle in the eukaryote, the lysosome is the degradation center and metabolic signal center in living cells, and partakes in significant physiological processes such as autophagy, cell death and cellular senescence. Fluorescent probe has become a favorite tool for studying organelles and their chemical microenvironments because of its high specificity and non-destructive merits. Over recent years, it has been reported that increasingly new lysosome-targeted probes play a major role in the diagnosis and monitor of diseases, in particular cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In order to deepen the relevant research on lysosome, it is challenging and inevitability to design novel lysosomal targeting probes. This review first introduces the concepts of lysosome and its closely related biological activities, and then introduces the fluorescent probes for lysosome in detail according to different detection targets, including targeting mechanism, biological imaging, and application in diseases. Finally, we summarize the specific challenges and discuss the future development direction facing the current lysosome-targeted fluorescent probes. We hope that this review can help biologists grasp the application of fluorescent probes and broaden the research ideas of researchers targeting fluorescent probes so as to design more accurate and functional probes for application in diseases.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes provide extremely sensitive Al3+ detection for human health purposes. This research develops novel Al3+ response molecules (HCMPA) and NIR upconversion fluorescent nanocarriers (UCNPs), which respond to Al3+ through ratio NIR fluorescence. UCNPs improve photobleaching and visible light lack in specific HCMPA probes. Additionally, UCNPs are capable of ratio response, which will further enhance signal accuracy. The NIR ratiometric fluorescence sensing system has been successfully used to detect Al3+ within the range 0.1-1000 nM with an accuracy limit of 0.06 nM. Alternatively, a NIR ratiometric fluorescence sensing system integrated with a specific molecule can image Al3+ within cells. This study demonstrates that a NIR fluorescent probe is an effective and highly stable method of measuring Al3+ in cells.
