Abstract
Indocyanine green J-aggregates (ICG-Jagg) have emerged as a significant subject of interest in biomedical applications due to their unique optical properties, tunable size, and excellent biocompatibility. This comprehensive review aims to provide an in-depth exploration of ICG-Jagg, with a focus on elucidating the diverse facets of their preparation and the factors that influence the preparation process. Additionally, the review discusses their applications in biomedical diagnostics, such as imaging and contrast agents, as well as their utilization in drug delivery and various phototherapeutic interventions.
