Abstract
NIR luminescent materials have garnered widespread attention because of their exceptional properties, with high tissue penetration, low absorption and high signal-to-noise ratio in the field of optical imaging. However, producing nanophosphors with high quantum yields of emitting infrared light with wavelengths above 1000 nm remains a significant challenge. Here, we prepared a nanoscale ZnGa2O4:xCr3+,yNi2+ phosphor with good luminescence performance in near-infrared emission, which was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination process. By co-doping with Cr3+ and Ni2+, the ZnGa2O4 phosphor shows a strong broadband emission of 1100-1600 nm in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region, owing to the energy transfer from Cr3+ to Ni2+ with an efficiency up to 90%. Meanwhile, a near-infrared phosphor-conversion LED (NIR pc-LED) device is fabricated based on the ZnGa2O4:0.8%Cr3+,0.4%Ni2+ nanophosphor, which has under 100 mA input current, an output power of 23.99 mW, and a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 7.53%, and can be effectively applied in imaging and non-destructive testing. Additionally, the intensity ratio of INi/ICr of ZnGa2O4:0.8% Cr3+,0.4%Ni2+ with its high sensitivity value of 4.21% K-1 at 453 K under 410 nm excitation, indicates its potential for thermometry application.

Abstract
Transmission near-infrared (NIR) imaging technology has great potential for biomedical imaging because of its lower water absorption coefficient and highly reduced photon scattering effect in biological tissues compared to visible light. The extent of biological tissue photon scattering is inversely proportional to wavelength; therefore, in principle, imaging with long-wavelength NIR helps improve the resolution of the optical image, but deep tissue high-resolution luminescence imaging is still very challenging technically. Here, we report the discovery of a Ba2MgWO6:Ni2+ double perovskite phosphor that emits broadband long-wavelength NIR (1200-2000 nm) under 365 nm near-ultraviolet (UV) excitation, with a full width at half-maximum of 255 nm. The luminescence quantum efficiency of the phosphor with optimized composition reached 16.67%. The analysis of the crystal structure of Ba2MgWO6:Ni2+ suggests that Ni2+ ions preferentially occupy the W6+ site in octahedrons with a weak crystal field, which leads to a large Stokes shift. An as-prepared long-wavelength NIR pc-LED device was built by packaging an optimized phosphor with a low-power near-UV-LED chip, which was tested to generate clear imaging of venous vessels in human fingers. These unique properties of the Ba2MgWO6:Ni2+ double perovskite phosphor makes it a promising application in the field of imaging sources for body tissue..

Abstract
As a novel type of anisotropic inorganic nanomaterials, gold triangular nanoprisms (AuTNPs) have been widely studied for their well-defined structures and excellent plasmonic properties. This review starts with synthetic methodology, combing through the early thermal solution method to the mature seed-mediated method and seedless method. The possible mechanisms proposed by predecessors and the problems needed to be solved are also arranged. Along with this, the important morphological evolution process of AuTNPs during synthesis and post-synthesis stages are revealed, which is of great significance for further understanding the structure of AuTNPs and developing new synthesis strategies. Finally, the applications of AuTNPs, especially associated with plasmonic properties, are listed and summarized where surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), catalysis, phototherapy and biosensor are included, so that researchers can quickly comprehend the current situation, and provide a basis for further development and exploration of AuTNPs.

Abstract
Extremely small paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (FeMNPs) (<5 nm) can enhance positive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast by shortening the longitudinal relaxation time of water (T1), but these nanoparticles experience rapid renal clearance. Here, magnetic protein nanoparticles (MPNPs) are synthesized from protein-conjugated citric acid coated FeMNPs (c-FeMNPs) without loss of the T1 MRI properties and tagged with fluorescent dye (f-MPNPs) for optical cerebrovascular imaging. The c-FeMNPs shows average size 3.8 ± 0.7 nm with T1 relaxivity (r1) of 1.86 mM-1 s-1 and transverse/longitudinal relaxivity ratio (r2/r1) of 2.53 at 11.7 T. The f-MPNPs show a higher r1 value of 2.18 mM-1 s-1 and r2/r1 ratio of 2.88 at 11.7 T, which generates excellent positive MRI contrast. In vivo cerebral angiography with f-MPNPs enables detailed microvascular contrast enhancement for differentiation of major blood vessels of murine brain, which corresponds well with whole brain three-dimensional time-of-flight MRI angiograms (17 min imaging time with 60 ms repetition time and 40 μm isotropic voxels). The real-time fluorescence angiography enables unambiguous detection of brain capillaries with diameter < 40 μm. Biodistribution examination revealed that f-MPNPs were safely cleared by the organs like the liver, spleen, and kidneys within a day after injection. Blood biochemical assays demonstrated no risk of iron overload in both rats and mice. With hybrid neuroimaging technologies (e.g., MRI-optical) on the rise, f-MPNPs built on this platform can generate exciting neuroscience applications.

Spectral characteristics of gold nanoparticle doped optical fibre under axial strain. Sci Rep 2022; 12:16593.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP) doping of optical fibres can be used to increase the intensity of the backscattered light used for distributed strain sensing and has shown the advantages of high precision strain detection and multiplex sensing experimentally. However, the backscatter spectral characteristics of NP-doped optical fibres have not been described even though they are quite different from the spectra from fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) or commercial single mode fibres. In this paper, gold NPs, used as the contrast agent in the optical fibre to increase the intensity of the backscattered light, were investigated from the aspect of their spectra. A single scattering model with Mie theory and an effective refractive index (RI) model were used to evaluate the backscattered light spectra and the Monte Carlo Method was used for seeding NPs. The results showed that the strain responsivity of gold-NP doped fibres with low volume ratio doping (single scattering restriction) are close to FBGs and commercial fibres. High volume ratios of gold NP doping increase the imaginary part of the RI of the optical fibre, which has a significant influence on the spectra in the wavenumber domain. These theoretical insights may promote the future engineering design of NP-doped fibre sensors.

Abstract
With the explosion of gene editing tools in recent years, there has been a much greater demand for mouse embryo phenotyping, and traditional methods such as histology and histochemistry experienced a methodological renaissance as they became the principal tools for phenotyping. However, it is important to explore alternative phenotyping options to maximize time and resources and implement volumetric structural analysis for enhanced investigation of phenotypes. Cardiovascular phenotyping, in particular, is important to perform in vivo due to the dramatic structural and functional changes that occur in heart development over relatively short periods of time. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the most exciting advanced imaging techniques emerging within the field of developmental biology, and this review provides a summary of how it is currently being implemented in mouse embryo investigations and phenotyping. This review aims to provide an understanding of the approaches used in optical coherence tomography and how they can be applied in embryology and developmental biology, with the overall aim of bridging the gap between biology and technology.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique which has become the “gold standard” for diagnosis in the field of ophthalmology. However, in contrast to the eye, nontransparent tissues exhibit a high degree of optical scattering and absorption, resulting in a limited OCT imaging depth. And the progress made in the past decade in OCT technology have made it possible to image nontransparent tissues with high spatial resolution at large (up to 2mm) imaging depth. On the one hand, OCT can be used in a rapid, noninvasive way to detect diseased tissues, organs, blood vessels or glands. On the other hand, it can also identify the optical characteristics of suspicious parts in the early stage of the disease, which is of great significance for the early diagnosis of tumor diseases. Furthermore, OCT imaging has been explored for imaging tumor cells and their dynamics, and for the monitoring of tumor responses to treatments. This review summarizes the recent advances in the OCT area, which application in oncological diagnosis and treatment in different types: (1) superficial tumors:OCT could detect microscopic information on the skin’s surface at high resolution and has been demonstrated to help diagnose common skin cancers; (2) gastrointestinal tumors: OCT can be integrated into small probes and catheters to image the structure of the stomach wall, enabling the diagnosis and differentiation of gastrointestinal tumors and inflammation; (3) deep tumors: with the rapid development of OCT imaging technology, it has shown great potential in the diagnosis of deep tumors such in brain tumors, breast cancer, bladder cancer, and lung cancer.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are becoming increasingly popular as drug carriers due to their unique properties such as size tenability, multivalency, low toxicity and biocompatibility. AuNPs have physical features that distinguish them from bulk materials, small molecules and other nanoscale particles. Their unique combination of characteristics is just now being fully realized in various biomedical applications. In this review, we focus on the research accomplishments and new opportunities in this field, and we describe the rising developments in the use of monodisperse AuNPs for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This study addresses the key principles and the most recent published data, focusing on monodisperse AuNP synthesis, surface modifications, and future theranostic applications. Moving forward, we also consider the possible development of functionalized monodisperse AuNPs for theranostic applications based on these efforts. We anticipate that as research advances, flexible AuNPs will become a crucial platform for medical applications.

Abstract
There is already a societal awareness of the growing impact of nanoscience and nanotechnology, with nanomaterials (with at least one dimension less than 100 nm) now incorporated in items as diverse as mobile phones, clothes or dentifrices. In the healthcare area, nanoparticles of biocompatible materials have already been used for cancer treatment or bioimaging enhancement. Nanotechnology in dentistry, or nanodentistry, has already found some developments in dental nanomaterials for caries management, restorative dentistry and orthodontic adhesives. In this review, we present state-of-the-art scientific development in nanodentistry with an emphasis on two imaging techniques exploiting nanomaterials: optical coherence tomography (OCT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). Examples will be given using OCT with nanomaterials to enhance the acquired imaging, acting as optical clearing agents for OCT. A novel application of gold nanoparticles and nanorods for imaging enhancement of incipient occlusal caries using OCT will be described. Additionally, we will highlight how the OCT technique can be properly managed to provide imaging with spatial resolution down to 10's-100's nm resolution. For PAI, we will describe how new nanoparticles, namely TiN, prepared by femtosecond laser ablation, can be used in nanodentistry and will show photoacoustic microscopy and tomography images for such exogenous agents.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) performs non-invasive visualization and characterization of microvasculature in research and clinical applications mainly in ophthalmology and dermatology. A wide variety of instruments, imaging protocols, processing methods and metrics have been used to describe the microvasculature, such that comparing different study outcomes is currently not feasible. With the goal of contributing to standardization of OCTA data analysis, we report a user-friendly, open-source toolbox, OCTAVA (OCTA Vascular Analyzer), to automate the pre-processing, segmentation, and quantitative analysis of en face OCTA maximum intensity projection images in a standardized workflow. We present each analysis step, including optimization of filtering and choice of segmentation algorithm, and definition of metrics. We perform quantitative analysis of OCTA images from different commercial and non-commercial instruments and samples and show OCTAVA can accurately and reproducibly determine metrics for characterization of microvasculature. Wide adoption could enable studies and aggregation of data on a scale sufficient to develop reliable microvascular biomarkers for early detection, and to guide treatment, of microvascular disease.

Abstract
We aimed to analyze whether opisthenar microvessel area (OMA, measured with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) angiography) was associated with blood pressure (BP), arterial stiffness and whether OMA can predict arterial stiffness in hypertensive (HTN) patients. Results from 90 participants showed that BP, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and ankle brachial index (ABI) were significantly higher but OMA (in control, with cold- and warm-stimulation, NT, CST, HST and the differences, CSD, HSD) were significantly reduced in HTN group (n = 36) compared to non-HTN (n = 54). NT, CST, HST and HSD showed negative correlations with baPWV and ABI in all participants, female (n = 47) and male group (n = 43), but the correlation was absent when the participants were divided into HTN and non-HTN. Logistic Regression analysis showed that only baPWV was a significant risk factor for HSD (OR 19.7, 95%CI 4.959-78.733, p < 0.0001) but not the age, BMI, smoking, drinking or exercise status (p > 0.05). Receiver Operating Characteristics analysis for HSD was 0.781, 0.804, 0.770, respectively. HSD < 9439.5 μm2 predicted high BP and arterial stiffness (95% CI in all participants: baPWV, 0.681-0.881, SBP, 0.709-0.900, DBP, 0.672-0.867, p < 0.001). These results suggest that OMA is a sensitive index to predict arterial stiffness in HTN population.

Abstract
Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) reveals the subsurface microstructure of biological tissue and provides information regarding the polarization state of light backscattered from tissue. Complementing OCT's structural signal with molecular imaging requires strategies to simultaneously detect multiple exogenous contrast agents with high specificity in tissue. Specific detection of molecular probes enables the parallel visualization of physiological, cellular, and molecular processes. Here we demonstrate that, by combining PS-OCT and spectral contrast (SC)-OCT measurements, we can distinguish signatures of different gold nanobipyramids (GNBPs) in lymphatic vessels from the surrounding tissue and blood vessels in live mouse models. This technique could well be extended to other anisotropic nanoparticle-based OCT contrast agents and presents significant progress toward enabling OCT molecular imaging.

Abstract
In this study, to visually acquire all-round structural and functional information of lung cancer while performing synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and tumor-targeting immunotherapy, a theranostic nanoplatform that introduced upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and IR-1048 dye into the lipid-aptamer nanostructrure (UCILA) is constructed. Interestingly, the IR-1048 dye grafted into the lipid bilayer can serve as the theranostic agent for photoacoustic imaging, optical coherence tomography angiography, photothermal imaging, and PTT in the second near infrared (NIR-II) window. In addition, loaded in the inner part of UCILA, UCNPs possess the superior luminescence property and high X-ray attenuation coefficient, which can act as contrast agents for computed tomography (CT) and thermo-sensitive up-conversion luminescence (UCL) imaging, enabling real-time tracking of metabolic activity of tumor and temperature-feedback PTT. Furthermore, under the complementary guidance of penta-modal imaging and an accurate monitoring of in situ temperature change during PTT, UCILA exhibits its excellent capability for ablating the lung tumor with minimal side effects. Meanwhile, synergistic CAR-NK immunotherapy is carried out specifically to eradicate any possible residual tumor cells after PTT. Therefore, the UCILA nanoplatform is demonstrated as a multifunctional theranostic agent for both penta-modal imaging and temperature-feedback PTT while conducting targeting immunotherapy of lung cancer.

Abstract
Optical imaging in the second near infrared region (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) provides higher resolution and deeper penetration depth for accurate and real-time vascular anatomy, blood dynamics, and function information, effectively contributing to the early diagnosis and curative effect assessment of vascular anomalies. Currently, NIR-II optical imaging demonstrates encouraging results including long-term monitoring of vascular injury and regeneration, real-time feedback of blood perfusion, tracking of lymphatic metastases, and imaging-guided surgery. This review summarizes the latest progresses of NIR-II optical imaging for angiography including fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic (PA) imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The development of current NIR-II fluorescence, PA, and OCT probes (i.e., single-walled carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, rare earth doped nanoparticles, noble metal-based nanostructures, organic dye-based probes, and semiconductor polymer nanoparticles), highlighting probe optimization regarding high brightness, longwave emission, and biocompatibility through chemical modification or nanotechnology, is first introduced. The application of NIR-II probes in angiography based on the classification of peripheral vascular, cerebrovascular, tumor vessel, and cardiovascular, is then reviewed. Major challenges and opportunities in the NIR-II optical imaging for vascular imaging are finally discussed.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are used in various biological applications because of their small surface area-to-volume ratios, ease of synthesis and modification, low toxicity, and unique optical properties. These properties can vary significantly with changes in AuNP size, shape, composition, and arrangement. Thus, the stabilization of AuNPs is crucial to preserve the properties required for biological applications. In recent years, various polymer-based physical and chemical methods have been extensively used for AuNP stabilization. However, a new stabilization approach using biomolecules has recently attracted considerable attention. Biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, peptides, and proteins are representative of the biomoieties that can functionalize AuNPs. According to several studies, biomolecules can stabilize AuNPs in biological media; in addition, AuNP-conjugated biomolecules can retain certain biological functions. Furthermore, the presence of biomolecules on AuNPs significantly enhances their biocompatibility. This review provides a representative overview of AuNP functionalization using various biomolecules. The strategies and mechanisms of AuNP functionalization using biomolecules are comprehensively discussed in the context of various biological fields.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) targeting contrast agents have been investigated as great photoabsorbers to improve photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), OCT, and fluorescence imaging contrast for visualization of various diseases. In ophthalmology, a limited number of NIR contrast agents have been approved for clinical use. Recently, gold nanoparticles with different size and shapes have been developed for molecular imaging. This chapter provides the principles of multimodality PAM, OCT, and fluorescence imaging as well as a brief overview of contrast agents for optical imaging. A detailed protocol for the fabrication of discrete colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs), synthesis of functionalized RGD-conjugated chain-like GNP (CGNP) clusters labeled with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence dye (ICG@CGNP clusters-RGD), and validation of the synthesized nanoparticles to evaluate newly developed blood vessels in the retina, named choroidal neovascularization (CNV), is described. Using RGD peptide, ICG@CGNPs clusters-RGD can bind integrin which is expressed on activated endothelial cells and newly developed CNV. The targeting efficiency of nanoparticles is monitored by multimodality PAM, OCT, and fluorescence imaging longitudinally.

Abstract
Inflammation is the phenotypic form of various diseases. Recent development in molecular imaging provides new insights into the diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation of different inflammatory diseases as well as diseases involving inflammation such as cancer. While conventional imaging techniques used in the clinical setting provide only indirect measures of inflammation such as increased perfusion and altered endothelial permeability, optical imaging is able to report molecular information on diseased tissue and cells. Optical imaging is a quick, noninvasive, nonionizing, and easy-to-use diagnostic technology which has been successfully applied for preclinical research. Further development of optical imaging technology such as optoacoustic imaging overcomes the limitations of mere fluorescence imaging, thereby enabling pilot clinical applications in humans. By means of endogenous and exogenous contrast agents, sites of inflammation can be accurately visualized in vivo. This allows for early disease detection and specific disease characterization, enabling more rapid and targeted therapeutic interventions. In this review, we summarize currently available optical imaging techniques used to detect inflammation, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), bioluminescence, fluorescence, optoacoustics, and Raman spectroscopy. We discuss advantages and disadvantages of the different in vivo imaging applications with a special focus on targeting inflammation including immune cell tracking.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are highly compelling nanomaterials for biomedical studies due to their unique optical properties. By leveraging the versatile optical properties of different gold nanostructures, the performance of biosensing and biomedical imaging can be dramatically improved in terms of their sensitivity, specificity, speed, contrast, resolution and penetration depth. Here we review recent advances of optical biosensing and bioimaging techniques based on three major optical properties of AuNPs: surface plasmon resonance, surface enhanced Raman scattering and luminescence. We summarize the fabrication methods and optical properties of different types of AuNPs, highlight the emerging applications of these AuNPs for novel optical biosensors and biomedical imaging innovations, and discuss the future trends of AuNP-based optical biosensors and bioimaging as well as the challenges of implementing these techniques in preclinical and clinical investigations.

Abstract
X-ray-based analytics are routinely applied in many fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering. The full potential of such techniques in the life sciences and medicine, however, has not yet been fully exploited. We highlight current and upcoming advances in this direction. We describe different X-ray-based methodologies (including those performed at synchrotron light sources and X-ray free-electron lasers) and their potentials for application to investigate the nano-bio interface. The discussion is predominantly guided by asking how such methods could better help to understand and to improve nanoparticle-based drug delivery, though the concepts also apply to nano-bio interactions in general. We discuss current limitations and how they might be overcome, particularly for future use in vivo.

Abstract
The use of gold nanoparticles as diagnostic tools is burgeoning, especially in the cancer community with a focus on theranostic applications to both cancer diagnosis and treatment. Gold nanoparticles have also demonstrated great potential for use in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in ophthalmology. Although many ophthalmic imaging modalities are available, there is still a considerable unmet need, in particular for ophthalmic molecular imaging for the early detection of eye disease before morphological changes are more grossly visible. An understanding of how gold nanoparticles are leveraged in other fields could inform new ways they could be utilized in ophthalmology. In this paper, we review current ophthalmic imaging techniques and then identify optical coherence tomography (OCT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) as the most promising technologies amenable to the use of gold nanoparticles for molecular imaging. Within this context, the development of gold nanoparticles as OCT and PAI contrast agents are reviewed, with the most recent developments described in detail.

Chain-like gold nanoparticle clusters for multimodal photoacoustic microscopy and optical coherence tomography enhanced molecular imaging. Nat Commun 2021; 12:34.

Abstract
Colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs) serve as promising contrast agents in photoacoustic (PA) imaging, yet their utility is limited due to their absorption peak in the visible window overlapping with that of hemoglobin. To overcome such limitation, this report describes an ultrapure chain-like gold nanoparticle (CGNP) clusters with a redshift peak wavelength at 650 nm. The synthesized CGNP show an excellent biocompatibility and photostability. These nanoparticles are conjugated with arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptides (CGNP clusters-RGD) and validated in 12 living rabbits to perform multimodal photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for visualization of newly developed blood vessels in the sub-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) space of the retina, named choroidal neovascularization (CNV). The PAM system can achieve a 3D PAM image via a raster scan of 256 × 256 pixels within a time duration of 65 s. Intravenous injection of CGNP clusters-RGD bound to CNV and resulted in up to a 17-fold increase in PAM signal and 176% increase in OCT signal. Histology indicates that CGNP clusters could disassemble, which may facilitate its clearance from the body. This manuscript presents ultrapure chain-like gold nanoparticle clusters with red shifted absorption and shows their potential for in vivo imaging in living rabbits. The nanoparticles demonstrate a 17-fold increase in photoacoustic microscopy signal and 176% increase in optical coherence tomography signal.

Abstract
Ameliorated therapy based on the tumor microenvironment is becoming increasingly popular, yet only a few methods have achieved wide recognition. Herein, targeting multifunctional hydrophilic nanomicelles, AgBiS2@DSPE-PEG2000-FA (ABS-FA), were obtained and employed for tumor treatment. In a cascade amplification mode, ABS-FA exhibited favorable properties of actively enhancing computed tomography/infrared (CT/IR) imaging and gently relieving ambient oxygen concentration by cooperative photothermal and sonodynamic therapy. Compared with traditional Bi2S3 nanoparticles, the CT imaging capability of the probe was augmented (43.21%), and the photothermal conversion efficiency was increased (33.1%). Furthermore, remarkable ultrasonic dynamic features of ABS-FA were observed, with increased generation of reactive oxygen species (24.3%) being obtained compared to Ce6, a commonly used sonosensitizer. Furthermore, ABS-FA exhibited obvious inhibitory effects on HeLa cell migration at 6 μg/mL, which to some extent, demonstrated its suppressive effect on tumor growth. A lower dose, laser and ultrasonic power, and shorter processing time endowed ABS-FA with excellent photothermal and sonodynamic effects. By mild cascade mode, the hypoxic condition of the tumor site was largely improved, and a suitable oxygen-rich environment was provided, thereby endowing ABS-FA with a superior synergistically enhanced treatment effect compared with the single-mode approach, which ultimately realized the purpose of "one injection, multiple treatment". Moreover, our data showed that ABS-FA was given with a biological safety profile while harnessing in vivo. Taken together, as a synergistically enhanced medical diagnosis and treatment method, the one-for-all nanoplatform will pave a new avenue for further clinical applications.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics, which combines optical multiplexed disease detection with therapeutic monitoring in a single modality, has the potential to propel the field of nanomedicine toward genuine personalized medicine. Currently employed mainstream modalities using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in diagnosis and treatment are limited by a lack of specificity and potential issues associated with systemic toxicity. Light-mediated nanotheranostics offers a relatively non-invasive alternative for cancer diagnosis and treatment by using AuNPs of specific shapes and sizes that absorb near infrared (NIR) light, inducing plasmon resonance for enhanced tumor detection and generating localized heat for tumor ablation. Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in the field of nanotheranostics, however the main biological and translational barriers to nanotheranostics leading to a new paradigm in anti-cancer nanomedicine stem from the molecular complexities of cancer and an incomplete mechanistic understanding of utilization of Au-NPs in living systems. This work provides a comprehensive overview on the biological, physical and translational barriers facing the development of nanotheranostics. It will also summarise the recent advances in engineering specific AuNPs, their unique characteristics and, importantly, tunability to achieve the desired optical/photothermal properties.

Abstract
Numerous developments in optical biomedical imaging research utilizing gold nanostructures as contrast agents have advanced beyond basic research towards demonstrating potential as diagnostic tools; some of which are translating into clinical applications. Recent advances in optics, lasers and detection instrumentation along with the extensive, yet developing, knowledge-base in tailoring the optical properties of gold nanostructures has significantly improved the prospect of near-infrared (NIR) optical detection technologies. Of particular interest are optical coherence tomography (OCT), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT), Raman spectroscopy (RS) and surface enhanced spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SESORS), due to their respective advancements. Here we discuss recent technological developments, as well as provide a prediction of their potential to impact on clinical diagnostics. A brief summary of each techniques' capability to distinguish abnormal (disease sites) from normal tissues, using endogenous signals alone is presented. We then elaborate on the use of exogenous gold nanostructures as contrast agents providing enhanced performance in the above-mentioned techniques. Finally, we consider the potential of these approaches to further catalyse advances in pre-clinical and clinical optical diagnostic technologies. Optical biomedical imaging research utilising gold nanostructures as contrast agents has advanced beyond basic science, demonstrating potential in various optical diagnostic tools; some of which are currently translating into clinical applications.![]()

Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing interest in the application of exogenous contrast agents to supplement the traditional strengths of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and provide additional biological information. In this Letter, we present how indocyanine green, a common fluorescent contrast agent approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, can provide absorption and spectral contrast for OCT imaging in the mouse eye in vivo. We further demonstrate high stability of spectral contrast measurements for the long-term monitoring of contrast agents in spite of fluctuations in intensity.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique affording noninvasive optical biopsies. Like for other imaging techniques, the use of dedicated contrast agents helps better discerning biological features of interest during the clinical practice. Although bright OCT contrast agents have been developed, no dark counterpart has been proposed yet. Herein, plasmonic copper sulfide nanoparticles as the first OCT dark contrast agents working in the second optical transparency window are reported. These nanoparticles virtually possess no light scattering capabilities at the OCT working wavelength (≈1300 nm); thus, they exclusively absorb the probing light, which in turn results in dark contrast. The small size of the nanoparticles and the absence of apparent cytotoxicity support the amenability of this system to biomedical applications. Importantly, in the pursuit of systems apt to yield OCT dark contrast, a library of copper sulfide nanoparticles featuring plasmonic resonances spanning the three optical transparency windows is prepared, thus highlighting the versatility and potential of these systems in light-controlled biomedical applications.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) have been extensively developed as contrast agents, theranostic platforms, and probes for molecular imaging. This popularity has yielded a large number of AuNP designs that vary in size, shape, surface functionalization, and assembly, to match very closely the requirements for various imaging applications. Hence, AuNP based probes for molecular imaging allow the use of computed tomography (CT), fluorescence, and other forms of optical imaging, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other newer techniques. The unique physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and highly developed chemistry of AuNP have facilitated breakthroughs in molecular imaging that allow the detection and imaging of physiological processes with high sensitivity and spatial resolution. In this Review, we summarize the recent advances in molecular imaging achieved using novel AuNP structures, cell tracking using AuNP, targeted AuNP for cancer imaging, and activatable AuNP probes. Finally, the perspectives and current limitations for the clinical translation of AuNP based probes are discussed.

Angular compounding for speckle reduction in optical coherence tomography using geometric image registration algorithm and digital focusing. Sci Rep 2020; 10:1893. [PMID: 32024946 PMCID: PMC7002526 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-58454-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) suffers from speckle noise due to the high spatial coherence of the utilized light source, leading to significant reductions in image quality and diagnostic capabilities. In the past, angular compounding techniques have been applied to suppress speckle noise. However, existing image registration methods usually guarantee pure angular compounding only within a relatively small field of view in the focal region, but produce spatial averaging in the other regions, resulting in resolution loss and image blur. This work develops an image registration model to correctly localize the real-space location of every pixel in an OCT image, for all depths. The registered images captured at different angles are fused into a speckle-reduced composite image. Digital focusing, based on the convolution of the complex OCT images and the conjugate of the point spread function (PSF), is studied to further enhance lateral resolution and contrast. As demonstrated by experiments, angular compounding with our improved image registration techniques and digital focusing, can effectively suppress speckle noise, enhance resolution and contrast, and reveal fine structures in ex-vivo imaged tissue.

Abstract
Intravital microscopy (IVM) and optical coherency tomography (OCT) are two powerful optical imaging tools that allow visualization of dynamic biological activities in living subjects with subcellular resolutions. Recent advances in labeling and label-free techniques empower IVM and OCT for a wide range of preclinical and clinical cancer imaging, providing profound insights into the complex physiological, cellular, and molecular behaviors of tumors. Preclinical IVM and OCT have elucidated many otherwise inscrutable aspects of cancer biology, while clinical applications of IVM and OCT are revolutionizing cancer diagnosis and therapies. We review important progress in the fields of IVM and OCT for cancer imaging in living subjects, highlighting key technological developments and their emerging applications in fundamental cancer biology research and clinical oncology investigation.

Abstract
Developing contrast-enhanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques is important for specific imaging of tissue lesions, molecular imaging, cell-tracking, and highly sensitive microangiography and lymphangiography. Multiplexed OCT imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window is highly desirable since it allows simultaneous imaging and tracking of multiple biological events in high resolution with deeper tissue penetration in vivo. Here we demonstrate that gold nanobipyramids can function as OCT multiplexing contrast agents, allowing high-resolution imaging of two separate lymphatic flows occurring simultaneously from different drainage basins into the same lymph node in a live mouse. Contrast-enhanced multiplexed lymphangiography of a melanoma tumor in vivo shows that the peritumoral lymph flow upstream of the tumor is unidirectional, and tumor is accessible to such flow. Whereas the lymphatic drainage coming out from the tumor is multidirectional. We also demonstrate real-time tracking of the contrast agents draining from a melanoma tumor specifically to the sentinel lymph node of the tumor and the three-dimensional distribution of the contrast agents in the lymph node.

Abstract
Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) as a simple, low toxicity, low-cost p-type semiconductor material with broad absorbance ranging from the UV to the NIR region has many potential applications in photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and phase-change memory devices. Owing to these excellent properties, Sb2Se3 nanorods were firstly synthesized with triphenylantimony and dibenzyldiselenide under solvothermal conditions. In order to enhance the biocompatibility of the Sb2Se3 nanorods, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was coated onto the surface of the Sb2Se3 nanorods to form PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods. The cell viability of PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods toward Hep-2 cells was assessed for 24 h using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The results showed that Hep-2 cells treated with PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods were alive at a concentration as high as 100 μg mL−1 in the absence of NIR irradiation. In vivo assessment confirmed that PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods exhibited excellent photoacoustic imaging and PTT performance, which yielded complete ablation of tumors after laser irradiation (808 nm or 980 nm) in the NIR-I bio-window. Herein we reported a biocompatible PVP-coated Sb2Se3 nanorods as PTT nanotheranostic agent, which is responsive to the light (808 and 980 nm) in NIR-I bio-windows and effective for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal destruction of cancer cell.![]()

Abstract
Gold nanoprisms (AuNPRs) are anisotropic nanostructures that have gained great attention in recent years because of their interesting and unique optical properties that can be tailored for biomedical, energy, and sensing applications. At present, several protocols have reported the high yield synthesis of AuNPRs of different dimensions using a seed-mediated approach. However, there is a need to develop reproducible and scalable methods with the goal of a controllable synthesis. Here, we report an improved seed-mediated synthesis of small monodisperse AuNPRs of distinct sizes in high yield using poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as an additive in nanomolar concentrations. We show optimal synthetic parameters for a blue-shifting of the surface plasmon resonance band which correlates with the reduction in the edge length (L) of AuNPRs from 75 to 35 nm. Using measured extinction coefficients for AuNPRs of different sizes, a linear equation is proposed to estimate the concentration of unknown samples by using Beer's law. Interestingly, the use of nanomolar amounts of PVP during the growth of AuNPRs significantly improves the shape yield. The surface chemistry properties of AuNPRs were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy and revealed that PVP chains interact with AuNPRs through the carbonyl oxygen. This method is reproducible and scalable and enables the synthesis of AuNPRs with long-term shape stability (1 year) in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Noninvasive and real-time visualization of the thoracoepigastric veins (TVs) of living mice was demonstrated by using two-photon excitation (TPE) optical imaging with a Eu-luminescent polymeric nanoagent as the angiographic contrast. The spatiotemporal evolution of the polymeric nanoagent in TVs was monitored for up to 2 h by TPE time-resolved (TPE-TR) bioimaging, which is free from the interference of tissue autofluorescence. A wide field-of-view covering the thoracoabdominal region allowed the visualization of the entire TV network with an imaging depth of 1 to 2 mm and a lateral resolution of 80 μm at submillimeter. Detailed analysis of the uptake, transport, and clearance processes of the polymeric nanoagent revealed a clearance time constant of ∼30 min and an apparent clearance efficiency of 80% to 90% for the nanoagent in both axial and lateral TVs. TPE-TR imaging of the dissected internal organs proved that the liver is mainly responsible for the sequestration of the nanoagent, which is consistent with the apparent retention efficiency of liver, ∼32 % , as determined by the real-time in vivo TV imaging. We demonstrate the potency of TPE-TR modality in the pharmacokinetics imaging of the peripheral vascular systems of animal models, which can be beneficial for related nanotheranostics study.

Abstract
Distinction between normal skin and pathology can be a diagnostic challenge. This systematic review summarizes how various contrast agents, either topically delivered or injected into the skin, affect distinction between skin disease and normal skin when imaged by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscopy (CM). A systematic review of in vivo OCT and CM studies using exogenous contrast agents on healthy human skin or skin disease was performed. In total, nine CM studies and one OCT study were eligible. Four contrast agents aluminum chloride (AlCl) n = 2, indocyanine green (ICG) n = 3, sodium fluorescein n = 3 and acetic acid n = 1 applied to CM in variety of skin diseases. ICG, acetic acid and AlCl showed promise to increase contrast of tumor nests in keratinocyte carcinomas. Fluorescein and ICG enhanced contrast of keratinocytes and adnexal structures. In OCT of healthy skin gold nanoshells, increased contrast of natural skin openings. Contrast agents may improve delineation and diagnosis of skin cancers; ICG, acetic acid and AlCl have potential in CM and gold nanoshells facilitate visualization of adnexal skin structures in OCT. However, as utility of bedside optical imaging increases, further studies with robust methodological quality are necessary to implement contrast agents into routine dermatological practice.

Abstract
The growth into anisotropic one or two dimensions is important in plasmonic gold nanomaterials because extinction occurs along multiple axes and sometimes the resonance extends to the near-infrared region. The surfactant mixture of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Pluronic triblock copolymers has been recently demonstrated to be efficient anisotropic soft templates for the growth of noble metal nanomaterials. Seed-mediated growth of two types of anisotropic Au nanoparticles is achieved in this study. One is one-dimensional prolate-shaped Au nanoparticles with the average aspect ratios of 2.29 and 2.59, and the other is two-dimensional gold nanoprisms with the average edge length of 50.4 nm. These anisotropic structures are believed to be produced by the tendency of Pluronic copolymers to be micellized anisotropically at the elevated temperatures and by the preference for being lamellar mesophases in the phase diagrams when the concentration is highest. When prepared in the surfactant mixture of CTAB and L-64 (17.9%), Au nanoparticles containing spherical particles (27.9 nm) as the major products show the best catalytic performances in the reduction reactions of 4-nitrophenol.

Abstract
Photoacoustic ophthalmoscopy (PAOM) is a novel, hybrid, non-ionizing, and non-invasive imaging technology that has been used to assess the retina. PAOM can provide both anatomic and functional retinal characterizations with high resolution, high sensitivity, high contrast, and a high depth of penetration. Thus, ocular diseases can be precisely detected and visualized at earlier stages, resulting in an improved understanding of pathophysiology, improved management, and the improved monitoring of retinal treatment to prevent vision loss. To better visualize ocular components such as retinal vessels, choroidal vessels, choroidal neovascularization, retinal neovascularization, and the retinal pigment epithelium, an advanced multimodal ocular imaging platform has been developed by a combination of PAOM with other optical imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO), and fluorescence microscopy. The multimodal images can be acquired from a single imaging system and co-registered on the same image plane, enabling an improved evaluation of disease. In this review, the potential application of photoacoustic ophthalmoscopy in both research and clinical diagnosis are discussed as a medical screening technique for the visualization of various ocular diseases. The basic principle and requirements of photoacoustic ocular imaging are introduced. Then, various photoacoustic microscopy imaging systems of the retina in animals are presented. Finally, the future development of PAOM and multimodal imaging is discussed.
