Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) can result in a sudden decline in kidney function and, if not promptly diagnosed and treated, can lead to a high mortality rate. Therefore, there is a critical need for the development of a non-invasive and dependable early diagnostic method for AKI to prevent its progression and deterioration. To address the risk of misdiagnosis or overlooked diagnosis due to reliance on a single biomarker, we developed a novel molecular fluorescent probe (HX-GP) to simultaneously detect and image two biomarkers, γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GGT) and Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), in the AKI process. HX-GP can specifically detect γ-GGT in the red fluorescence channel (λem = 613 nm) and ONOO- in the green fluorescence channel (λem = 518 nm). HX-GP demonstrated high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response, showing excellent biocompatibility and detection performance. In addition, HX-GP was successful in imaging experiments in a cell model of cisplatin-induced AKI, a result that highlights its potential application value in early diagnosis of AKI.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) is a self-illumination phenomenon that involves the emission of light from chemical reactions, and it provides favorable spatial and temporal information on biological processes. However, it is still a great challenge to construct effective CL sensors that equip strong CL intensity, long emission wavelength, and persistent luminescence for deep tissue imaging. Here, we report a liposome encapsulated polymer dots (Pdots)-based system using catalytic CL substrates (L-012) as energy donor and fluorescent polymers and dyes (NIR 695) as energy acceptors for efficient Near-infrared (NIR) CL in vivo imaging. Thanks to the modulation of paired donor and acceptor distance and the slow diffusion of biomarker by liposome, the Pdots show a NIR emission wavelength (λ em, max = 720 nm), long CL duration (>24 h), and a high chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer efficiency (46.5 %). Furthermore, the liposome encapsulated Pdots possess excellent biocompatibility, sensitive response to H2O2, and persistent whole-body NIR CL imaging in the drug-induced inflammation and the peritoneal metastatic tumor mouse model. In a word, this NIR-II CL nanoplatform with long-lasting emission and high spatial-temporal resolution will be a concise strategy in deep tissue imaging and clinical diagnostics.

Molecular imaging is a non-invasive imaging method that is widely used for visualization and detection of biological events at cellular or molecular levels. Stimuli-responsive linkers that can be selectively cleaved by specific biomarkers at desired sites to release or activate imaging agents are appealing tools to improve the specificity, sensitivity, and efficacy of molecular imaging. This review summarizes the recent advances of stimuli-responsive linkers and their application in molecular imaging, highlighting the potential of these linkers in the design of activatable molecular imaging probes. It is hoped that this review could inspire more research interests in the development of responsive linkers and associated imaging applications.

Abstract
Liver injury significantly affects a patient's health and quality of life. However, timely and convenient diagnosis of this disease via whole blood detection remains challenging due to the lack of user-friendly and fast readout blood test methods. Herein, we developed such a method for the swift auxiliary diagnosis of liver injury via whole blood detection using a customed point-of-care testing (POCT) system consisting of a biothiols-activatable chemiluminescent probe and a hand-held POCT device. Biothiols served as the target to build the activable chemiluminescence probe due to their abnormal level in liver injury. Compared with fluorescent and electrical POCTs, this method is more convenient and has strong universality. By incorporating cyclodextrin via host-guest chemistry, we intensified chemiluminescence while mitigating chemical hemolysis caused by the dissolution of organic molecules, making this system suitable for whole blood analysis. Preliminary assessments in aqueous solutions, living cells, and mouse models confirmed its sensitivity, reliability, and feasibility. Simply mixing blood with the probe for 30 min yielded a clear signal readout within 15 s on the POCT device. Utilizing this portable detector, the reduced biothiol level was tested in 18 liver injury patient blood samples, and the results were similar to those measured by a commercial kit and in vivo imaging system. Thus, this work provides a universal platform for the fast and convenient detection of other biomarkers in whole blood samples and opens up possibilities for the rapid clinical diagnosis of diseases, enabling patients to conduct home self-examinations with ease.

Abstract
In this study, a lysosomal targeting fluorescent probe recognition on CEs was designed and synthesized. The obtained probe BF2-cur-Mor demonstrated excellent selectivity, sensitivity, pH-independence, and enzyme affinity towards CEs within 5 min. BF2-cur-Mor could enable recognition of intracellular CEs and elucidate that the CEs content of different cancer cells follows the rule of HepG2 > HCT-116 > A549 > HeLa, and the CEs expression level of hepatoma cancer cells far exceeds that of normal hepatic cells, being in good agreement with the previous reports. The ability of BF2-cur-Mor to monitor CEs in vivo was confirmed by zebrafish experiment. BF2-cur-Mor exhibits some pharmacological activity in that it can induce apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells but is weaker in normal hepatocyte cells, being expected to be a potential "diagnostic and therapeutic integration" tool for the clinical diagnosis of CEs-related diseases.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a role in both pro- and anti-tumor functions; and the targeted polarization from M2 to M1 TAMs has become an effective therapy option. Although detection of M1 TAMs is imperative to assess cancer immunotherapeutic efficacy, existing optical probes suffer from shallow tissue penetration depth and poor specificity toward M1 TAMs. Herein, we report a tandem-locked NIR chemiluminescent (CL) probe for specific detection of M1 TAMs. Through a combined molecular engineering approach via both atomic alternation and introduction of electron-withdrawing groups, near-infrared (NIR) chemiluminophores are screened out to possess record-long emission (over 800 nm), record-high CL quantum yield (2.7 % einstein/mol), and prolonged half-life (7.7 h). Based on an ideal chemiluminophore, the tandem-locked probe (DPDGN) is developed to only activate CL signal in the presence of both tumour (γ-glutamyl transpeptidase) and M1 macrophage biomarkers (nitric oxide). Such a tandem-lock design ensures its high specificity towards M1 macrophages in the tumor microenvironment over those in normal tissues or peripheral blood. Thus, DPDGN permits noninvasive imaging and tracking of M1 TAM in the tumor of living mice during R837 treatment, showing a good correlation with ex vivo methods. This study not only reports a new molecular approach towards highly efficient chemiluminophores but also reveals the first tandem-locked CL probes for enhanced imaging specificity.

Abstract
Self-monitoring in tumor therapy is a concept that allows for real-time monitoring of the location and state of applied nanomaterials. This monitoring relies on dynamic signals, such as wave or magnetic signals, which vary in response to changes in the location and state of nanomaterials. Dynamic changes in nanomaterials can be monitored using dynamic signals, making it possible to determine and control the treatment process. Theranostic nanomaterials, which possess unique physical and chemical properties, have recently been explored as a viable option for self-monitoring. With the help of self-monitoring, theranostic nanomaterials can guide themselves to achieve region-selective treatment with higher controllability and safety. In this review, self-monitoring theranostic nanomaterials will be introduced in three parts according to their roles during therapy: tumor accumulation, tumor therapy, and metabolism. The limitations and future challenges of current self-monitoring theranostic nanomaterials will also be discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging is one of the most promising approaches to achieve intraoperative assessment of the tumor/normal tissue margins during cancer surgery. This is critical to improve the patients' prognosis, and therefore various molecular fluorescence imaging probes have been developed for the identification of cancer lesions during surgery. Among them, "activatable" fluorescence probes that react with cancer-specific biomarker enzymes to generate fluorescence signals have great potential for high-contrast cancer imaging due to their low background fluorescence and high signal amplification by enzymatic turnover. Over the past two decades, activatable fluorescence probes employing various fluorescence control mechanisms have been developed worldwide for this purpose. Furthermore, new biomarker enzymatic activities for specific types of cancers have been identified, enabling visualization of various types of cancers with high sensitivity and specificity. This Review focuses on recent advances in the design, function and characteristics of activatable fluorescence probes that target cancer-specific enzymatic activities for cancer imaging and also discusses future prospects in the field of activity-based diagnostics for cancer.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of biocatalytic-based processes is significantly improved and simplified when they can be visualized. Visual monitoring can be achieved by integrating a fluorescent unit with the biocatalyst. Herein, we outline the design strategies of fluorescent probes for monitoring biocatalysis: (1) probes for monitoring biocatalytic transfer: γ-glutamine is linked to the fluorophore as both a recognition group and for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) inhibition; the probe is initially in an off state and is activated via the transfer of the γ-glutamine group and the release of the free amino group, which results in restoration of the "Donor-π-Acceptor" (D-π-A) system and fluorescence recovery. (2) Probes for monitoring biocatalytic oxidation: a propylamine is connected to the fluorophore as a recognition group, which cages the hydroxyl group, leading to the inhibition of ICT; propylamine is oxidized and subsequently β-elimination occurs, resulting in exposure of the hydroxyl group and fluorescence recovery. (3) Probes for monitoring biocatalytic reduction: a nitro group attached to a fluorophore as a fluorescence quenching group, this is converted to an amino group by catalytic reduction, resulting in fluorescence recovery. (4) Probes for monitoring biocatalytic hydrolysis: β-D-galactopyranoside or phosphate acts as a recognition group attached to hydroxyl groups of the fluorophore; the subsequent biocatalytic hydrolysis reaction releases the hydroxyl group resulting in fluorescence recovery. Following these 4 mechanisms, fluorophores including cyanine, coumarin, rhodamine, and Nile-red, have been used to develop systems for monitoring biocatalytic reactions. We anticipate that these strategies will result in systems able to rapidly diagnose and facilitate the treatment of serious diseases.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) has a high prevalence but is poorly managed for cancer patients due to the lack of reliable and sensitive diagnostic techniques. Molecular optical imaging can provide a noninvasive way for real-time monitoring of CIPN; However, this is not reported, likely due to the absence of optical probes capable of imaging deep into the spinal canal and possessing sufficient sensitivity for minimal dosage through local injection into the dorsal root ganglia. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) chemiluminophore (MPBD) with a chemiluminescence quantum yield higher than other reported probes is synthesized and a NIR activatable chemiluminescent probe (CalCL) is developed for in vivo imaging of CIPN. CalCL is constructed by caging MPBD with calpain-cleavable peptide moiety while conjugating polyethylene glycol chain to endow water solubility. Due to the deep-tissue penetration of chemiluminescence and specific turn-on response of CalCL toward calpain (a hallmark of CIPN), it allows for sensitive detection of paclitaxel-mediated CIPN in living mice, which is unattainable by fluorescence imaging. This study thus not only develops a highly efficient chemiluminescent probe, but also presents the first optical imaging approach toward high-throughput screening of neurotoxic drugs.

Abstract
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a plasma-membrane-bound enzyme that is involved in the γ-glutamyl cycle, like metabolism of glutathione (GSH). This enzyme plays an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, thus being tested as a key biomarker for several medical conditions, such as liver injury, carcinogenesis, and tumor progression. For measuring GGT activity, a number of bioanalytical methods have emerged, such as chromatography, colorimetric, electrochemical, and luminescence analyses. Among these approaches, probes that can specifically respond to GGT are contributing significantly to measuring its activity in vitro and in vivo. This review thus aims to highlight the recent advances in the development of responsive probes for GGT measurement and their practical applications. Responsive probes for fluorescence analysis, including "off-on", near-infrared (NIR), two-photon, and ratiometric fluorescence response probes, are initially summarized, followed by discussing the advances in the development of other probes, such as bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, photoacoustic, Raman, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). The practical applications of the responsive probes in cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring and GGT inhibitor screening are then highlighted. Based on this information, the advantages, challenges, and prospects of responsive probe technology for GGT measurement are analyzed.

Abstract
The link between inflammation and the evolution of cancer is well established. Visualizing and tracking both tumor proliferation and the associated inflammatory response within a living organism are vital for dissecting the nexus between these two processes and for crafting precise treatment modalities. We report the creation and synthesis of an advanced NIR chemiluminescence probe that stands out for its exceptional selectivity, extraordinary sensitivity at nanomolar concentrations, swift detection capabilities, and broad application prospects. Crucially, this probe has been successfully utilized to image endogenous ONOO- across different inflammation models, including abdominal inflammation triggered by LPS, subcutaneous inflammatory conditions, and tumors grafted onto mice. These findings highlight the significant promise of chemiluminescence imaging in enhancing our grasp of the intricate interplay between cancer and inflammation and in steering the development of potent, targeted therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Chemiluminescent probes have become increasingly popular in various research areas including precise tumor imaging and immunofluorescence analysis. Nevertheless, previously developed chemiluminescence probes are mainly limited to studying oxidation reaction-associated biological events. This study presents the first example of bioimaging applicable bicyclic dioxetane chemiluminescent probes with tunable emission wavelengths that range from 525 to 800 nm. These newly developed probes were able to detect the analytes of β-Gal, H2O2, and superoxide with high specificity and a limit of detection of 77 mU L-1, 96, and 28 nM, respectively. The bioimaging application of the probes was verified in ovarian and liver cancer cells and macrophage cells, allowing the detection of the content of β-Gal, H2O2, and superoxide inside the cells. The high specificity allowed us to image the xenografted tumor in mice. We expect that our probes will receive extensive applications in recording complex biomolecular events using noninvasive imaging techniques.

Abstract
Herein, we report an activatable near-infrared (NIR) afterglow theranostic prodrug that circumvents high background noise interference caused by external light excitation. The prodrug can release hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) in response to the high intratumoral peroxynitrite level associated with immunogenic cell death (ICD), and synchronously activate afterglow signal to monitor the drug release process and cold-to-hot tumor transformation. The prodrug itself is an ICD inducer achieved by photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT initiates ICD and recruits first-arrived neutrophils to secrete peroxynitrite to trigger HCPT release. Intriguingly, we demonstrate that HCPT can significantly amplify PDT-mediated ICD process. The prodrug thus shows a self-sustainable ICD magnification effect by establishing an "ICD-HCPT release-amplified ICD" cycling loop. In vivo studies demonstrate that the prodrug can eradicate existing tumors and prevent further tumor recurrence through antitumor immune response.

Abstract
Carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) has crucial roles in both xenobiotic metabolism and formation of pathogenic states including cancer. Thus, it is highly critical to monitor intracellular CES2 activity in living cancer cells. Here, we report a CES2 activatable phenoxy 1,2-dioxetane based chemiluminescent agent (CL-CES2). The probe exhibited a selective turn-on response in the presence of CES2 enzyme and enabled detection of CES2 activity in three different cancer cells that possess varying enzyme concentrations with high signal to noise ratios. In contrast no signal was obtained with CES1, an isoform of CES2 enzyme. CL-CES2 marks the first ever example of a CES2-responsive chemiluminescent luminophore and holds a great potential in further understanding the roles of CES2 activity in tumorogenesis.

Abstract
The set-up of highly sensitive detection tools to evaluate lipase activity remains a central goal in different fields. In this context, we proposed new chemiluminescent 1,2-dioxetane luminophores, sharing an octanoyl triggerable group, to monitor lipase activity. We herein report the synthesis and both the evaluation of their luminescence emission profile and their enzyme-substrate specificity, generated by three different commercial lipases (Candida cylindracea, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Mucor miehei) and one esterase (porcine liver esterase, PLE, as a literature control). Remarkably, the present study confirmed the applicability of these 1,2-dioxetane luminophores as (i) highly efficient, broad-range, chemiluminescent probes for the detection and the enzymatic activity evaluation of lipases and as (ii) promising candidates for the future development of both flash- and glow-type luminescence assays.

Abstract
γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is a kind of cell-surface enzyme that is overexpressed in many cancer cells. It is of great significance to develop an ideal tool for the diagnosis of GGT-rich cancer cells. Here, we reported a simple-structured but effective imaging probe for the detection of GGT activity. In the presence of GGT, the γ-glutamyl linkage could be cleaved specifically to produce amino-substituted product, resulting in significant fluorescence enhancement at 578 nm. Moreover, we successfully employed the probe to monitor GGT activity in HepG2 cells. We envisaged that such a simple but effective imaging tool could improve the practical applications for bioimaging.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (e.g., singlet oxygen) are the primary cytotoxic agents used in the clinically approved technique photodynamic therapy (PDT). Although singlet oxygen has high potential to effectively kill tumor cells, its production via light excitation of a photosensitizer has been limited by the penetration depth and delivery of light in tissue. To produce singlet oxygen without light excitation, we describe the use of Schaap's chemiluminescent scaffold comprising an adamantylidene-dioxetane motif. Functionalizing this scaffold with a photosensitizer, Erythrosin B, resulted in spontaneous chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) leading to the production of singlet oxygen. We show that this compound is cell permeable and that the singlet oxygen produced via CRET is remarkably efficient in killing cancer cells at low micromolar concentrations. Moreover, we demonstrate that protection of the phenol on the chemiluminescent scaffold with a nitroreductase-responsive trigger group allows for cancer-selective dark dynamic cell death. Here, we present the concept of dark dynamic therapy using a small cell-permeable molecule capable of producing the effects of PDT in cells, without light.

Abstract
Hypochlorite acid (ClO-) is one of the major reactive oxygen species (ROS) in colon cancer, providing an effective target for colonic tumor in vivo imaging. For detection of ClO- and tumor imaging, poly[(9,9-di(2-ethylhexyl)-9H-fluorene-2,7-vinylene)-co-(1-methoxy-4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2,5-phenylenevinylene)] (PFV-co-MEHPV, namely CP1) was encapsulated in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) that were pre-modified with polyphenylenevinylene (PPV) via in situ polymerization to construct bright PPV@MSN-CP1 nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were size-stable and not cytotoxic as confirmed by FE-TEM, FE-SEM, and MTT assay. Hypochlorite oxidizes the vinylidene bond of CP1 through π2-π2 cycloaddition to form PPV-dioxetane intermediates to generate photons. The CL quantum yield of PPV@MSN-CP1 was 16.7 times higher than that of Pluronic F-127 wrapped CP1. CL nanoparticles PPV@MSN-CP1 have good selectivity for hypochlorite detection among biological oxidants (mainly ROS). The linear range and the LOD of PPV@MSN@CP1 for ClO- detection are 4-90 and 1.02 μM, respectively. Subsequently, we further coated PPV@MSN@CP1 with folic acid for tumor targeting by phospholipid wrapping. PPV@MSN-CP1@FA was successfully applied for in vivo imaging of endogenously produced ClO- of tumor tissue in living animals.

Abstract
Numerous polymeric agents have been widely applied in biology and medicine by virtue of the facile chemical modification, feasible nano-engineering approaches and fine-tuned pharmacokinetics. To endow polymeric imaging agents with ability to monitor and measure subtle molecular or cellular alterations at diseased sites, activatable polymeric probes that can elicit signal changes in response to biomolecular interactions or the analytes of interest have to be developed. Herein, this review aims to provide a systemic interpretation and summarization of the design methodology and imaging utility of recently emerged activatable polymeric probes. An introduction of activatable probes allowing for precise imaging and classification of polymeric imaging agents is reported first. Then, we give a detailed discussion of the contemporary design approaches toward activatable polymeric probes in diverse imaging modes for the detection of various stimuli and their imaging applications. Finally, current challenges and future advances are discussed and highlighted.

Abstract
Afterglow imaging holds great potential for ultrasensitive biomedical imaging. As it detects photons after the cessation of real-time light excitation, autofluorescence can therefore be effectively eliminated. However, afterglow imaging is still in its infant stage due to the lack of afterglow agents with satisfactory lifetime, biocompatibility, and high luminescence brightness, particularly afterglow in the near-infrared region for in vivo applications. To address these issues, this study for the first time reports chlorin nanoparticles (Ch-NPs) emitting afterglow luminescence peaking at 680 nm with a half-life of up to 1.5 h, which is almost 1 order of magnitude longer than those of other reported organic afterglow probes. In-depth experimental and theoretical studies revealed that the brightness of the afterglow luminescence is strongly correlated with the singlet oxygen (1O2) capacity and the oxidizability of the chlorins. Benefitting from the ultralong half-life and the minimized imaging background, small metastatic tumor foci of 3 mm3 were successfully resected under the guidance of the afterglow luminescence generated upon a single shot of activation prior to the injection, which was impossible for conventional near-infrared fluorescence imaging due to tissue autofluorescence.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most prevalent and complex clinical syndromes with high morbidity and mortality. The traditional diagnosis parameters are insufficient regarding specificity and sensitivity, and therefore, novel biomarkers and their facile and rapid applications are being sought to improve the diagnostic procedures. The biosensors, which are employed on the basis of electrochemistry, plasmonics, molecular probes, and nanoparticles, are the prominent ways of developing point-of-care devices, along with the mutual integration of efficient surface chemistry strategies. In this manner, biosensing platforms hold pivotal significance in detecting and quantifying novel AKI biomarkers to improve diagnostic interventions, potentially accelerating clinical management to control the injury in a timely manner. In this review, novel diagnostic platforms and their manufacturing processes are presented comprehensively. Furthermore, strategies to boost their effectiveness are also indicated with several applications. To maximize these efforts, we also review various biosensing approaches with a number of biorecognition elements (e.g., antibodies, aptamers, and molecular imprinting molecules), as well as benchmark their features such as robustness, stability, and specificity of these platforms.

Abstract
Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) is involved in tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis, and is a well-known tumor marker. In recent years, chemiluminescence has been widely used in the field of biological imaging, due to it resulting in a high sensitivity and excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of the first LAP-activated chemiluminescent probe for LAP detection and imaging. The probe initially had no chemiluminescence but produced an extremely strong chemiluminescence after the release of the dioxetane intermediate in the presence of LAP. The probe had high selectivity over other proteases and higher signal-to-noise ratios than commercial fluorophores. Real-time imaging results indicated that the chemiluminescence was remarkably enhanced at the mice tumor site after the probe was injected. Furthermore, the chemiluminescence of this probe in the cancerous tissues of patients was obviously improved compared to that of normal tissues. Taken together, this study has developed the first LAP-activable chemiluminescent probe, which could be potentially used in protein detection, disease diagnosis, and drug development. The first chemiluminescent probe for the detection of LAP is described. It shows a highly selective, sensitive and rapid chemiluminescence response for the detection of LAP in vitro and in vivo, and enables the differentiation of liver cancer.![]()

Abstract
Optical imaging is an indispensable tool in clinical diagnostics and fundamental biomedical research. Autofluorescence-free optical imaging, which eliminates real-time optical excitation to minimize background noise, enables clear visualization of biological architecture and physiopathological events deep within living subjects. Molecular probes especially developed for autofluorescence-free optical imaging have been proven to remarkably improve the imaging sensitivity, penetration depth, target specificity, and multiplexing capability. In this Review, we focus on the advancements of autofluorescence-free molecular probes through the lens of particular molecular or photophysical mechanisms that produce long-lasting luminescence after the cessation of light excitation. The versatile design strategies of these molecular probes are discussed along with a broad range of biological applications. Finally, challenges and perspectives are discussed to further advance the next-generation autofluorescence-free molecular probes for in vivo imaging and in vitro biosensors.

Abstract
The overwhelming majority of commercially available chemiluminescence (CL) assays are conducted in the eye-visible region. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) aqueous CL strategy was proposed with CuInS2@ZnS nanocrystals (CIS@ZnS NCs) as emitters. Hydrazine hydrate (N2H4·H2O) could inject electrons into the conduction band of the CIS@ZnS NCs and simultaneously transformed to the intermediate radical N2H3•. N2H3• reduced dissolved oxygen (O2) to O2-•, while the O2-• could inject holes into the valence band of the CIS@ZnS NCs. The recombination of electrons and holes at Cu+ defects in CIS@ZnS NCs eventually yielded efficient NIR CL at around 824.1 nm, which is the longest waveband for NCs CL to the best of our knowledge. The NIR CL could be conveniently performed in the neutral aqueous medium (pH 7.0) with a quantum yield of 0.0155 Einstein/mol and was successfully employed for constructing a signal-off CL biosensor with ascorbic acid as the analyte as well as a signal-on CL biosensor for determining ascorbate oxidase, which indicates that this NIR CL system has a promising potential for bioassays in diverse ways.

Abstract
The expression level of γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) in some malignant tumors is often abnormally high, while its expression is low in normal tissues. Therefore, GGT is considered as a key biomarker for cancer diagnosis. Several GGT-targeting fluorescence probes have been designed and prepared, but their clinical applications are limited due to their shallow tissue penetration. Considering the advantages of positron emission tomography (PET) such as high sensitivity and deep tissue penetration, we designed a novel PET imaging probe for targeted monitoring of the expression of GGT in living subjects, ([18F]γ-Glu-Cys-PPG(CBT)-AmBF3)2, hereinafter referred to as ([18F]GCPA)2. The non-radioactive probe (GCPA)2 was synthesized successfully and [18F]fluorinated rapidly via the isotope exchange method. The radiotracer ([18F]GCPA)2 could be obtained within 0.5 h with the radiochemical purity over 98% and the molar activity of 10.64 ± 0.89 GBq μmol−1. It showed significant difference in cellular uptake between GGT-positive HCT116 cells and GGT-negative L929 cells (2.90 ± 0.12% vs. 1.44 ± 0.15% at 4 h, respectively). In vivo PET imaging showed that ([18F]GCPA)2 could quickly reach the maximum uptake in tumor (4.66 ± 0.79% ID g−1) within 5 min and the tumor-to-muscle uptake ratio was higher than 2.25 ± 0.08 within 30 min. Moreover, the maximum tumor uptake of the control group co-injected with the non-radioactive probe (GCPA)2 or pre-treated with the inhibitor GGsTop decreased to 3.29 ± 0.24% ID g−1 and 2.78 ± 0.32% ID g−1 at 10 min, respectively. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that ([18F]GCPA)2 is a potential PET probe for sensitively and specifically detecting the expression level of GGT. A radiotracer ([18F]GCPA)2 for sensitively and specifically detecting the expression level of γ-glutamyltranspeptidase in living subjects was reported.![]()

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) necessitates approaches capable of increasing antitumor effects while decreasing nonspecific photodamage. We herein report an activatable probe (Glu-PyEB) comprising two distinct photosensitizers with mutually suppressed photodynamics. Activation by tumor-associated γ-glutamyltranspeptidase gives rise to a generator of superoxide radical (O2-•) accumulated in lysosomes and a producer of singlet oxygen (1O2) enriched in mitochondria. This enables light-irradiation-triggered damage of lysosomes and mitochondria, robust cell death, and tumor retardation in vivo, showing the use of paired photosensitizers subjected to reciprocally suppressed photodynamics for activatable PDT.

Abstract
Targeted covalent inhibitors are an important class of drugs and chemical probes. However, relatively few electrophiles meet the criteria for successful covalent inhibitor design. Here we describe α-substituted methacrylamides as a new class of electrophiles suitable for targeted covalent inhibitors. While typically α-substitutions inactivate acrylamides, we show that hetero α-substituted methacrylamides have higher thiol reactivity and undergo a conjugated addition-elimination reaction ultimately releasing the substituent. Their reactivity toward thiols is tunable and correlates with the pKa/pKb of the leaving group. In the context of the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, these electrophiles showed lower intrinsic thiol reactivity than the unsubstituted ibrutinib acrylamide. This translated to comparable potency in protein labeling, in vitro kinase assays, and functional cellular assays, with improved selectivity. The conjugate addition-elimination reaction upon covalent binding to their target cysteine allows functionalizing α-substituted methacrylamides as turn-on probes. To demonstrate this, we prepared covalent ligand directed release (CoLDR) turn-on fluorescent probes for BTK, EGFR, and K-RasG12C. We further demonstrate a BTK CoLDR chemiluminescent probe that enabled a high-throughput screen for BTK inhibitors. Altogether we show that α-substituted methacrylamides represent a new and versatile addition to the toolbox of targeted covalent inhibitor design.

Abstract
γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) is an important aminopeptidase overexpressed in many malignant tumors, and accurate detection of its activity is useful for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Herein, we report a GGT-activatable ratiometric fluorescent probe (1) constructed by covalently linking an 'always-on' BODIPY fluorophore with a GGT-activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent substrate. Upon interaction with GGT, the NIR fluorescence at 735 nm in probe 1 is significantly enhanced, while the fluorescence of BODIPY at 517 nm remains unchanged. Using BODIPY fluorescence as an internal standard, significantly enhanced ratiometric fluorescence between 735 nm and 517 nm could be achieved, allowing accurate detection of the activity of GGT in living subjects independent of probe concentration. We demonstrate that probe 1 is feasible for the evaluation of GGT levels in different tumor cells and differentiation of GGT-positive tumor cells from GGT-negative normal tissue cells. Moreover, probe 1 is further applied for the visualization of tumor via noninvasive ratiometric fluorescence imaging of GGT activity, which could facilitate the detection of GGT-positive tumor tissues and study of GGT-related pathological processes.

Abstract
Approaches that could enable precise photodynamic therapy (PDT) are of therapeutic potential. We herein report a trifunctional probe (Glu-RdEB) that could be activated to generate fluorescent rhodamine species to pinpoint tumor foci. The probe contains a γ-glutaminyl moiety cleavable to γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) overexpressed in multiple tumors, an entity of an ENBS photosensitizer for PDT, and an entity of rhodamine fluorescently quenched by ENBS. Upon activation by tumor-associated GGT, the probe releases highly fluorescent rhodamine that is selectively confined in tumors whereby light irradiation leads to effective tumor regression in mice. These results indicate the feasibility of a fluorescently quenched dye-photosensitizer pair to yield tumor-activatable fluorescence to direct PDT.

Abstract
A novel chemiluminescence (CL) imaging platform was constructed for prostate specific antigen (PSA) detection in a multiple signal amplifying manner. To construct the platform, the primary antibody for PSA was firstly immobilized on a O-ring area of a glass slide for recognizing the PSA. The horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and the secondary antibody of PSA (Ab2) functionalized Au NPs (HRP-Au NPs-Ab2) were modified on the platform through immunoreaction between PSA and Ab2. The excellent catalytic effect of Au NPs and HRP on the HRP-Au NPs-Ab2 to the luminol-H2O2 CL system provided the dual-signal amplification for PSA detection. To further enhance the sensitivity, tyramine signal amplification (TSA) strategy was introduced: tyramine-HRP conjugates were added into the O-ring reservoir and thus tyramine-HRP repeats formed in the presence of H2O2, generating a multiple signal amplification because of the large amounts of HRP on the sensing interface. The excellent performance of HRP-Au NPs-Ab2 and TSA strategy endows the CL platform with high sensitivity. The PSA was detected with a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and visually analyzed by a charge coupled device (CCD), respectively. The linear ranges of PMT and CCD for PSA are 0.1-100.0 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.05 pg mL-1 and 0.5 - 100.0 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.1 pg mL-1, respectively. The levels of PSA in several human serum samples were determined and the recoveries are ranged from 82.5% - 117.0%. This CL immunosensing platform holds great potential for bioactive molecules detection visually and sensitively.

Abstract
Regulation of physiological pH is integral for proper whole body and cellular function, and disruptions in pH homeostasis can be both a cause and effect of disease. In light of this, many methods have been developed to monitor pH in cells and animals. In this study, we report a chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) probe Ratio-pHCL-1, composed of an acrylamide 1,2-dioxetane chemiluminescent scaffold with an appended pH-sensitive carbofluorescein fluorophore. The probe provides an accurate measurement of pH between 6.8 and 8.4, making it a viable tool for measuring pH in biological systems. Further, its ratiometric output is independent of confounding variables. Quantification of pH can be accomplished using both common luminescence spectroscopy and advanced optical imaging methods. Using an IVIS Spectrum, pH can be measured through tissue with Ratio-pHCL-1, which is shown in vitro and calibrated in sacrificed mouse models. Intraperitoneal injections of Ratio-pHCL-1 into live mice show high photon outputs and consistent increases in the flux ratio when measured at pH 6, 7, and 8.

Abstract
Optical imaging plays a crucial role in biomedicine. However, due to strong light scattering and autofluorescence in biological tissue between 650-900 nm, conventional optical imaging often has a poor signal-to-background ratio and shallow penetration depth, which limits its ability in deep-tissue in vivo imaging. Second near-infrared fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and photoacoustic imaging modalities mitigate these issues by their respective advantages of minimized light scattering, eliminated external excitation, and ultrasound detection. To enable disease detection, activatable molecular probes (AMPs) with the ability to change their second near-infrared fluorescence, chemiluminescence, or photoacoustic signals in response to a biomarker have been developed. This Minireview summarizes the molecular design strategies, sensing mechanisms, and imaging applications of AMPs. The potential challenges and perspectives of AMPs in deep-tissue imaging are also discussed.
