Abstract
Dual-locked activatable optical probes, leveraging the orthogonal effects of two biomarkers, hold great promise for the specific imaging of biological processes. However, their design approaches are limited to a short-distance energy or charge transfer mechanism, while the signal readout relies on fluorescence, which inevitably suffers from tissue autofluorescence. Herein, we report a long-distance singlet oxygen transfer approach to develop a bienzyme-locked activatable afterglow probe (BAAP) that emits long-lasting self-luminescence without real-time light excitation for the dynamic imaging of an intratumoral granule enzyme. Composed of an immuno-biomarker-activatable singlet oxygen (1O2) donor and a cancer-biomarker-activatable 1O2 acceptor, BAAP is initially nonafterglow. Only in the presence of both immune and cancer biomarkers can 1O2 be generated by the activated donor and subsequently diffuse toward the activated acceptor, resulting in bright near-infrared afterglow with a high signal-to-background ratio and specificity toward an intratumoral granule enzyme. Thus, BAAP allows for real-time tracking of tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes, enabling the evaluation of cancer immunotherapy and the differentiation of tumor from local inflammation with superb sensitivity and specificity, which are unachievable by single-locked probes. Thus, this study not only presents the first dual-locked afterglow probe but also proposes a new design way toward dual-locked probes via reactive oxygen species transfer processes.

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
Chemiluminescence (CL), especially commercialized CL immunoassay (CLIA), is normally performed within the eye-visible region of the spectrum by exploiting the electronic-transition-related emission of the molecule luminophore. Herein, dual-stabilizers-capped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) is employed as a model of nanoparticulated luminophore to finely tune the CL color with superior color purity. Initialized by oxidizing the CdTe NCs with potassium periodate (KIO4), intermediates of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) tend to charge CdTe NCs in both series-connection and parallel-connection routes and dominate the charge-transfer CL of CdTe NCs. The CdTe NCs/KIO4 system can exhibit color-tunable CL with the maximum emission wavelength shifted from 694 nm to 801 nm, and the red-shift span is over 100 nm. Both PL and CL of each of the CdTe NCs are bandgap-engineered; the change in the NCs surface state via CL reaction enables CL of each of the CdTe NCs to be red-shifted for ∼20 nm to PL, while the change in the NCs surface state via labeling CdTe NCs to secondary-antibody (Ab2) enables CL of the CdTe NCs-Ab2 conjugates to be red-shifted for another ∼20 nm to bare CdTe NCs. The CL of CdTe753-Ab2/KIO4 is ∼791 nm, which can perform near-infrared CL immunoassay and semi-automatically determined procalcitonin (PCT) on commercialized in vitro diagnosis (IVD) instruments.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging represents a vital tool in modern biology, oncology and biomedical applications. Afterglow luminescence (AGL), which circumvents the light scattering and tissue autofluorescence interference associated with real-time excitation source, shows remarkably increased imaging sensitivity and depth. Here we present a protocol for the design and synthesis of AGL nanoprobes with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect to simultaneously red shift and amplify the afterglow signal for tumor imaging and image-guided tumor resection. The nanoprobe (AGL AIE dot) is composed of an enol ether format of Schaap's agent and a near-infrared AIE fluorogen (AIEgen) (tetraphenylethylene-phenyl-dicyanomethylene-4H-chromene, TPE-Ph-DCM) to suppress the nonradiative dissipation pathway. Pre-irradiating AGL AIE dots with white light could generate singlet oxygen to convert Schaap's agent to its 1,2-dioxetane format, thus initializing the AGL process. With the aid of AIEgen, the AGL shows simultaneously red shifted emission maximum (from ~540 nm to ~625 nm) and enhanced intensity (by 3.2-fold), facilitating better signal-to-background ratio, imaging sensitivity and depth. Intriguingly, the activated AGL can last for over 10 days. Compared with conventional approaches, our method provides a new solution to concurrently red shift and amplify afterglow signals for better in vivo imaging outcomes. The preparation of AGL AIE dots takes ~2 days, the in vitro characterization takes ~10 days (less than 1 day if not involving afterglow kinetic profile study) and the tumor imaging and image-guided tumor resection takes ~7 days. These procedures can be easily reproduced and amended after standard laboratory training in chemical synthesis and animal handling.

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
Activatable fluorescent and chemiluminescent dyes with near-infrared emission have indispensable roles in the fields of bioimaging, molecular prodrugs, and phototheranostic agents. As one of the most popular fluorophore scaffolds, the dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran scaffold has been applied to fabricate a large number of versatile activatable optical dyes for analytes detection and diseases diagnosis and treatment by virtue of its high photostability, large Stokes shift, considerable two-photon absorption cross-section, and structural modifiability. This review discusses the molecular design strategies, recognition mechanisms, and both in vitro and in vivo bio-applications (especially for diagnosis and therapy of tumors) of activatable dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran dyes. The final section describes the current shortcomings and future development prospects of this topic.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence is a fascinating phenomenon that involves the generation of light through chemical reactions. The light emission from adamantyl-phenoxy-1,2-dioxetanes can glow from minutes to hours depending on the specific substituent present on the dioxetane molecule. In order to improve the light emission properties produced by these chemiluminescent luminophores, it is necessary to induce the chemiexcitation rate to a flash mode, wherein the bulk of light is emitted instantly rather than slowly over time. We report the realization of this goal through the incorporation of spirostrain release into the decomposition of 1,2-dioxetane luminophores. DFT computational simulations provided support for the hypothesis that the spiro-cyclobutyl substituent accelerates chemiexcitation as compared to the unstrained adamantyl substituent. Spiro-linking of cyclobutane and oxetane units led to greater than 100-fold and 1000-fold emission enhancement, respectively. This accelerated chemiexcitation rate increases the detection sensitivity for known chemiluminescent probes to the highest signal-to-noise ratio documented to date. A turn-ON probe, containing a spiro-cyclobutyl unit, for detecting the enzyme β-galactosidase exhibited a limit of detection value that is 125-fold more sensitive than that for the previously described adamantyl analogue. This probe was also able to instantly detect and image β-gal activity with enhanced sensitivity in E. coli bacterial assays.

Abstract
Beta-galactosidase (β-galactosidase), a lysosomal hydrolytic enzyme, plays a critical role in the catalytic hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds, leading to the conversion of lactose into galactose. This hydrolytic enzyme is used as a biomarker in various applications, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), gene expression studies, tuberculosis classification, and in situ hybridization. β-Galactosidase abnormalities are linked to various diseases, such as ganglioside deposition, primary ovarian cancer, and cell senescence. Thus, effective detection of β-galactosidase activity may aid disease diagnoses and treatment. Activatable optical probes with high sensitivity, specificity, and spatiotemporal resolution imaging capabilities have become powerful tools for visualization and real time tracking in vivo in the past decade. This manuscript reviews the sensing mechanism, molecular design strategies, and advances of fluorescence probes in the biological application of β-galactosidase, particularly in the field of ovarian cancer research. Current challenges in tracking β-galactosidase and future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
Modulating the photon emission of the luminophore for boosting chemiluminescence (CL) response is very crucial for the construction of highly sensitive sensors via the introduction of functionalized materials. Herein, the integration of the emitter and coreactant accelerator into one entity is realized by simply assembling cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through simple assembly via a Au-O bond. The loaded CB[7] on the AuNPs improves their catalytic capacity for the generation of hydroxyl radicals(•OH). Moreover, the host-guest recognition interaction between luminol and CB[7] enables the capture of luminol on AuNPs efficiently. Also, the intramolecular electron-transfer reaction between the luminol and •OH enables the CL response more effectively in the entity, which greatly boosts photon emission ca 100 folds compared with the individual luminol/H2O2. The host-guest recognition between luminol and CB[7] is revealed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical, and thermogravimetric characterization. Moreover, the proposed CL system is successfully used for the sensitive and selective determination of dopamine (DA) based on a synergistic quenching mechanism including the competition quenching and radical-scavenging effect from DA. The present amplified strategy by integrating recognized and amplified elements within one entity simplifies the sensing process and holds great potential for sensitive analysis based on the self-enhanced strategies.

Abstract
Phosphorescence, characterized by luminescent lifetimes significantly longer than that of biological autofluorescence under ambient environment, is of great value for biomedical applications. Academic evidence of fluorescence imaging indicates that virtually all imaging metrics (sensitivity, resolution, and penetration depths) are improved when progressing into longer wavelength regions, especially the recently reported second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window. Although the emission wavelength of probes does matter, it is not clear whether the guideline of "the longer the wavelength, the better the imaging effect" is still suitable for developing phosphorescent probes. For tissue-specific bioimaging, long-lived probes, even if they emit visible phosphorescence, enable accurate visualization of large deep tissues. For studies dealing with bioimaging of tiny biological architectures or dynamic physiopathological activities, the prerequisite is rigorous planning of long-wavelength phosphorescence, being aware of the cooperative contribution of long wavelengths and long lifetimes for improving the spatiotemporal resolution, penetration depth, and sensitivity of bioimaging. In this Review, emerging molecular engineering methods of room-temperature phosphorescence are discussed through the lens of photophysical mechanisms. We highlight the roles of phosphorescence with emission from visible to NIR-II windows toward bioapplications. To appreciate such advances, challenges and prospects in rapidly growing studies of room-temperature phosphorescence are described.

Abstract
Within their native milieu of the cell, the activities of enzymes are controlled by a range of factors including protein interactions and post-translational modifications. The involvement of these factors in fundamental cell biology and the etiology of diseases is stimulating interest in monitoring enzyme activities within tissues. The creation of synthetic substrates, and their use with different imaging modalities, to detect and quantify enzyme activities has great potential to propel these areas of research. Here we describe the latest developments relating to the creation of substrates for imaging and quantifying the activities of glycoside hydrolases, focusing on mammalian systems. The limitations of current tools and the difficulties within the field are summarised, as are prospects for overcoming these challenges.

Abstract
External light sources, such as lasers, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and lamps, are widely applied in photodynamic therapy (PDT); however, their use is severely limited by the nature of shallow tissue penetration depth. The recent exploration of light delivery or local generation on tumor sites has attracted much attention, owing to the fact that these systems are significantly endowed with high tissue penetration. In this review, we briefly introduced the principle of "on-spot light generation or delivery systems" in PDT. These systems are divided into different categories: (1) implantable luminescence, (2) mechanoluminescence, (3) electrochemiluminescence, (4) Cerenkov luminescence, (5) chemiluminescence, and (6) bioluminescence. Finally, their applications, advantages, and disadvantages in PDT will be appropriately summarized and further discussed in detail. We believe that this review will provide general guidance for the further design of light generation or delivery systems and clinical studies for PDT-mediated cancer treatments with unparalleled merits.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a critical messenger molecule plays vital roles in regular cell function. However, abnormal levels of H2S, especially mitochondrial H2S, are directly correlated with the formation of pathological states including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer. Thus, monitoring fluxes of mitochondrial H2S concentrations both in vitro and in vivo with high selectivity and sensitivity is crucial. In this direction, herein we developed the first ever example of a mitochondria-targeted and H2S-responsive new generation 1,2-dioxetane-based chemiluminescent probe (MCH). Chemiluminescent probes offer unique advantages compared to conventional fluorophores as they do not require external light irradiation to emit light. MCH exhibited a dramatic turn-on response in its luminescence signal upon reacting with H2S with high selectivity. It was used to detect H2S activity in different biological systems ranging from cancerous cells to human serum and tumor-bearing mice. We anticipate that MCH will pave the way for development of new organelle-targeted chemiluminescence agents towards imaging of different analytes in various biological models.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are widely distributed in diverse environments and significantly threaten human health. Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a valuable way for early warnings of bacteria threat. Herein, a chemiluminescence (CL)-based ratiometric sensing platform was constructed for sensitive POCT of bacteria according to a newly designed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule. The new AIE molecule presents oxidase-like properties (named as AIEzyme) and can trigger long persistent CL of luminol (LUM) with strong intensity in the absence of H2O2. The CL emission can be monitored with the naked eye for over 2 h. The emission mechanism is explored and may be attributed to the persistent reactive oxygen species generation of the AIEzyme according to the cyclic energy transfer between the AIEzyme and luminol, which catalyzes CL of luminol. Based on the CL resonance energy transfer mechanism, an afterglow luminescence system is further developed, which is used to construct a ratiometric biosensor for detection of pathogenic bacteria. With a homemade holder as a detection room and a smartphone as an analyzer, the portable biosensing platform is used for quantitative POCT of bacteria in real samples with good recovery. The detection is free of H2O2 and an external excitation source, which not only simplifies the operation but reduces interference. Specifically, the long persistent luminescence and the ratiometric strategy can significantly improve accuracy, providing an instructive way for point-of-need analysis, for example, SARS-CoV-2 detection and bioimaging analysis.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging requires real-time external light excitation; however, it has the drawbacks of autofluorescence and shallower penetration depth, limiting its application in deep tissue imaging. At the same time, ultrasound (US) has high spatiotemporal resolution, deep penetrability, noninvasiveness, and precise localization of lesions; thus, it can be a promising alternative to light. However, US-activated luminescence has been rarely reported. Herein, an US-activated near-infrared (NIR) chemiluminescence (CL) molecule, namely, PNCL, is designed by protoporphyrin IX as a sonosensitizer moiety and a phenoxy-dioxetane precursor containing a dicyanomethyl chromone acceptor scaffold (NCL) as the US-responsive moiety. After therapeutic US radiation (1 MHz), the singlet oxygen (1O2), as an "intermediary", oxidizes the enol-ether bond of the NCL moiety and then emits NIR light via spontaneous decomposition. Combining the deep penetrability of US with a high signal-to-background ratio of NIR CL, the designed probe PNCL successfully realizes US-activated deep tissue imaging (∼20 mm) and selectively turns on signals in specific tumor foci. Bridging US chemistry with luminescence using an "intermediary" will provide new imaging methods for accurate cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Optical storage and photon quantification systems based on sensitive photoreactions have numerous applications. Herein, we report a highly efficient photocatalytic reaction, in which ruthenium photoredox catalysis is combined with a 1,2-dioxetane from which chemiluminescence can be triggered. In this system, blue light irradiation as optical input enables a defined inverse correlation with base-triggered, blue light emission as optical output. Comparison of readout by 1 H NMR and chemiluminescence, relative to previous optical input, underlines the reliability and usefulness of the ruthenium-dioxetane system for optical storage, sensing and ruthenium detection.

Abstract
Multiplex technology is an important emerging field, in diagnostic sciences, that enables the simultaneous detection of several analytes in a single sample. The light-emission spectrum of a chemiluminescent phenoxy-dioxetane luminophore can be accurately predicted by determining the fluorescence-emission spectrum of its corresponding benzoate species, which is generated during the chemiexcitation process. Based on this observation, we designed a library of chemiluminescent dioxetane luminophores with multicolor emission wavelengths. Two dioxetane luminophores that have different emission spectra, but similar quantum yield properties, were selected from the synthesized library for a duplex analysis. The selected dioxetane luminophores were equipped with two different enzymatic substrates to generate turn-ON chemiluminescent probes. This pair of probes exhibited a promising ability to act as a chemiluminescent duplex system for the simultaneous detection of two different enzymatic activities in a physiological solution. In addition, the pair of probes were also able to simultaneously detect the activities of the two enzymes in a bacterial assay, using a blue filter slit for one enzyme and a red filter slit for the other enzyme. As far as we know, this is the first successful demonstration of a chemiluminescent duplex system composed of two-color phenoxy-1,2-dioxetane luminophores. We believe that the library of dioxetanes presented here will be beneficial for developing chemiluminescence luminophores for multiplex analysis of enzymes and bioanalytes.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in organisms and are closely related to various physiological and pathological processes. Due to the short lifetime and easy transformation of ROS, the determination of ROS content in biosystem has always been a challenging task. Chemiluminescence (CL) analysis has been widely used in the detection of ROS due to its advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity and no background signal, among which nanomaterial-related CL probes are rapidly developing. In this review, the roles of nanomaterials in CL systems are summarized, mainly including their roles as catalysts, emitters, and carriers. The nanomaterial-based CL probes for biosensing and bioimaging of ROS developed in the past five years are reviewed. We expect that this review will provide guidance for the design and development of nanomaterial-based CL probes and facilitate the wider application of CL analysis in ROS sensing and imaging in biological systems.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) probes that possess near-infrared (NIR) emission are highly desirable for in vivo imaging due to their deeper tissue penetration ability and intrinsically high sensitivity. Herein, a novel iridium-based CL probe (NIRIr-CL-1) with direct NIR emission was reported as the result of hypochlorous acid (HClO)-initiated oxidative deoximation. To improve its biocompatibility and extend the CL time for in vivo imaging applications, this NIRIr-CL-1 was prepared as a CL nanoparticle probe (NIRIr-CL-1 dots) through encapsulation by an amphiphilic polymer Pluronic F127 (F127). All results demonstrate that the NIRIr-CL-1 dots have good selectivity and sensitivity for visualization of HClO even at the depth of 1.2 cm. Owing to these advantages, the CL imaging of exogenous and endogenous HClO in mice was achieved. This study could provide new insights into the construction of new NIR emission CL probes and expand their applications in biomedical imaging.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic-related cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) are characterized by high serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) that can promote the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To answer the need for better LDL-C control in individuals at high and very high risk for CVD, a new injectable innovative family of lipid-lowering (LL) monoclonal antibodies against the protein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has been approved. However, the effect of these drugs on vascular function, such as ROS generation and arterial stiffness, has not already been extensively described. In this report, we present data from 18 males with high to very high CV risk undergoing LL treatment (LLT) with either statin and ezetimibe or ezetimibe monotherapy, who experienced, after a 2-month treatment with Evolocumab, a significant improvement in blood pressure (BP)-adjusted carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) (p-value = 0.0005 in the whole cohort, p-value = 0.0046 in the sub-cohort undergoing background LLT with statin and ezetimibe, p-value = 0.015 in the sub-cohort undergoing background LLT with ezetimibe monotherapy), which was significantly associated with a decrease in freshly isolated leukocytes (PBMCS)-derived H2O2 production (p-value = 0.004, p-value = 0.02 and p-value = 0.05, respectively, in the whole cohort, in the statin + ezetimibe sub-cohort, and the ezetimibe sub-cohort). Our observations support the role of systemic oxidative stress in atherosclerosis and give a further rationale for using Evolocumab also for its effect in vascular disorders linked to oxidative processes.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) chemiluminescence imaging holds potential for sensitive imaging of cancer due to its low background; however, few NIR chemiluminophores are available, which share the drawback of low chemiluminescence quantum yields (ΦCL ). Herein, we report the synthesis of NIR chemiluminophores for cancer imaging and laparotomy. Molecular engineering of the electron-withdrawing group at the para-position of the phenol-dioxetane leads to a highly bright NIR chemiluminophore (DPT), showing the ΦCL (4.6×10-2 Einstein mol-1 ) that is 3 to 5-fold higher than existing NIR chemiluminophores. By caging the phenol group of DPT with a cathepsin B (CatB) responsive moiety, an activatable chemiluminescence probe (DPTCB ) is developed for real-time turn-on detection of deeply buried tumor tissues in living mice. Due to its high brightness, DPTCB permits accurate chemiluminescence-guided laparotomy.

Abstract
Chemiexcitation of phenoxy-1,2-dioxetane chemiluminescent luminophores is initiated by electron transfer from a meta-positioned phenolate ion to the peroxide-dioxetane bond. Here we report the development of a unique 1,2-dioxetane chemiluminescent scaffold with chemiexcitation gated by an OR logic dual-set of triggering events. This scaffold is composed of meta-dihydroxyphenyl-1,2-dioxetane-adamantyl molecules, equipped with acrylic acid and chlorine substituents, that chemiexcitation under physiological conditions. A dual-mode chemiluminescent probe, armed with two different triggering substrates designed for activation by the enzymes β-galactosidase and alkaline phosphatase, was synthesized. The probe emitted intense light signals in the response to each enzyme, demonstrating its ability to serve as a single-component chemiluminescent sensor for dual-analyte detection. We also demonstrated the ability of the probe to detect β-galactosidase and phosphatase activities in bacteria. This is the first 1,2-dioxetane scaffold capable of responding to two different chemiexcitation events from two different positions on the same dioxetane molecule. We anticipate that the OR-gated mode of chemiexcitation, described herein, will find utility in the preparation of chemiluminescent probes with a dual-analyte detection/imaging mode.

Abstract
Chemiluminescent molecules which emit light in response to a chemical reaction are powerful tools for the detection and measurement of biological analytes and enable the understanding of complex biochemical processes in living systems. Triggerable chemiluminescent 1,2-dioxetanes have been studied and tuned over the past decades to advance quantitative measurement of biological analytes and molecular imaging in live cells and animals. A crucial determinant of success for these 1,2-dioxetane based sensors is their chemical structure, which can be manipulated to achieve desired chemical properties. In this Perspective, we survey the structural space of triggerable 1,2-dioxetane and assess how their design features affect chemiluminescence properties including quantum yield, emission wavelength, and decomposition kinetics. Based on this appraisal, we identify some structural modifications of 1,2-dioxetanes that are ripe for exploration in the context of chemiluminescent biological sensors.

Abstract
Next generation chemiluminescent iridium 1,2-dioxetane complexes have been developed which consist of the Schaap's 1,2-dioxetane scaffold directly attached to the metal center. This was achieved by synthetically modifying the scaffold precursor with a phenylpyridine moiety, which can act as a ligand. Reaction of this scaffold ligand with the iridium dimer [Ir(BTP)2(μ-Cl)]2 (BTP = 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)pyridine) yielded isomers which depict ligation through either the cyclometalating carbon or, interestingly, the sulfur atom of one BTP ligand. Their corresponding 1,2-dioxetanes display chemiluminescent responses in buffered solutions, exhibiting a single, red-shifted peak at 600 nm. This triplet emission was effectively quenched by oxygen, yielding in vitro Stern-Volmer constants of 0.1 and 0.009 mbar-1 for the carbon-bound and sulfur compound, respectively. Lastly, the sulfur-bound dioxetane was further utilized for oxygen sensing in muscle tissue of living mice and xenograft models of tumor hypoxia, depicting the ability of the probe chemiluminescence to penetrate biological tissue (total flux ~ 106 p/s).

Abstract
Persistent luminescence is a unique visual phenomenon that occurs after cessation of excitation light irradiation or following oxidization of luminescent molecules. The energy stored within the molecule is released in a delayed manner, resulting in luminescence that can be maintained for seconds, minutes, hours, or even days. Organic persistent luminescence materials (OPLMs) are highly robust and their facile modification and assembly into biocompatible nanostructures makes them attractive tools for in vivo bioimaging, whilst offering an alternative to conventional fluorescence imaging materials for biomedical applications. In this review, we give attention to the existing limitations of each class of OPLM-based molecular bioimaging probes based on their luminescence mechanisms, and how recent research progress has driven efforts to circumvent their shortcomings. We discuss the multifunctionality-focused design strategies, and the broad biological application prospects of these molecular probes. Furthermore, we provide insights into the next generation of OPLMs being developed for bioimaging 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
Nanomedicine holds promise to enhance cancer immunotherapy; however, its potential to elicit highly specific anti-tumor immunity without compromising immune tolerance has yet to be fully unlocked. This study develops deep-tissue activatable cancer sono-immunotherapy based on the discovery of a semiconducting polymer that generates sonodynamic singlet oxygen (1O2) substantially higher than other sonosensitizers. Conjugation of two immunomodulators via 1O2-cleavable linkers onto this polymer affords semiconducting polymer immunomodulatory nanoparticles (SPINs) whose immunotherapeutic actions are largely inhibited. Under ultrasound irradiation, SPINs generate 1O2 not only to directly debulk tumors and reprogram tumor microenvironment to enhance tumor immunogenicity, but also to remotely release the immunomodulators specifically at tumor site. Such a precision sono-immunotherapy eliminates tumors and prevents relapse in pancreatic mouse tumor model. SPINs show effective antitumor efficacy even in a rabbit tumor model. Moreover, the sonodynamic activation of SPINs confines immunotherapeutic action primarily to tumors, reducing the sign of immune-related adverse events. To improve the specificity of immunotherapy, here the authors report the design of a semiconducting polymer immunomodulatory nanoparticle with sonodynamic process to remotely release immune-modulators for deep-tissue precision cancer sono-immunotherapy.

Abstract
The photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence from nanocrystals (NCs) have been extensively exploited for both fundamental and applied investigation over two decades, while the understanding of chemiluminescence (CL) from NCs is still far from clear by now. Herein, a general route for triggering CL from NC luminophore is proposed by extensively exploiting the charge transfer between n-type NCs and oxidants. Oxidants, such as K2S2O8, H2O2, KMnO4, and NaClO, can chemically inject the hole onto the valence band (VB) of methionine-capped n-type AuNCs (Met@AuNCs) and enable the occurrence of efficient radiative-charge-recombination between the chemically injected exogenous VB hole and the pre-existed endogenous conduction band (CB) electron, which eventually results in single-color and defect-involved CL with the maximum emission wavelength around 824 nm. The CL of Met@AuNCs/oxidant is qualified for ultrasensitive CL immunoassay in a similar procedure to the biotin-avidin and magnetic separation involved commercial CL immunoassay and exhibits acceptable performance for linearly determining carcinoembryonic antigen from 50 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 10 pg/mL (S/N = 3). This strategy provides a general route to develop nanoparticulate CL luminophores and might eventually enable CL multiplexing assay via extensively exploiting the CL of different wavebands.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence without excitation light and tissue autofluorescence interference holds great promise for biological applications, but is limited by available materials with long-wavelength emission and excellent clinical potential. Here, we report that porphyrin derivatives can emit near-infrared persistent luminescence over 60 min after cessation of excitation light or on interaction with peroxynitrite. A plausible mechanism of the successive oxidation of vinylene bonds was demonstrated. A supramolecular probe with a β-sheet structure was constructed to enhance the tumor targeting ability and the photoacoustic and persistent luminescence signals. Such probes featuring light-triggered function transformation from photoacoustic imaging to persistent luminescence imaging permit advanced image-guided cancer surgery. Furthermore, peroxynitrite-activated persistent luminescence of the supramolecular probe also enables rapid and precise screening of immunogenic cell death drugs.

Abstract
Adamantyl‐dioxetane luminophores are an important class of chemiluminescent molecular probes for diagnostics and imaging. We have developed a new efficient synthetic route for preparation of adamantyl‐enolether as precursors for dioxetane chemiluminescent luminophores. The synthesis is convergent, using an unusual Stille cross‐coupling reaction employing a stannane‐enolether, to directly afford adamantyl‐enolether. In a following simple step, the dioxetane is obtained by oxidation of the enolether precursor with singlet‐oxygen. The scope of this synthetic route is broad since a large number of haloaryl substrates are either commercially available or easily accessible. Such a late‐stage derivatization strategy simplifies the rapid exploration of novel luminogenic molecular structures in a library format and simplifies the synthesis of known dioxetane luminophores. We expect that this new synthetic strategy will be particularly useful in the design and synthesis of yet unexplored dioxetane chemiluminescent luminophores.

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
Chemiluminescent iridium-based sensors which demonstrate oxygen dependent responses have been developed. The molecular probes, named IrCL-1, IrCL-2 and IrCL-3 consist of oxygen-sensitive iridium complexes attached to a spiroadamantane 1,2 dioxetane and operate via energy transfer from the chemiexcited benzoate to the corresponding iridium(III) complex. Complexing the iridium(III) center with π-extended ligands results in emission in the biologically relevant, near-infrared (NIR) region. All probes demonstrate varying oxygen tolerance, with IrCL-1 being the most oxygen sensitive. These probes have been further utilized for in vitro ratiometric imaging of oxygen, as well as for intraperitoneal, intramuscular and intratumoral imaging in live mice. To our knowledge, these are the first iridium-based chemiluminescent probes that have been employed for in vitro ratiometric oxygen sensing, and for in vivo tumor imaging.

Abstract
Chemiluminescent probes based on 1,2-dioxetane scaffold are one of the most sensitive imaging modalities for detecting disease-related biomarkers and can obtain more accurate biological information in cells and in vivo . Due to the elimination of external light excitation, the background autofluorescence problem in fluorescence technology can be effectively avoided, providing ultra-high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio for various applications. In this minireview, we highlight a comprehensive but concise overview of activatable 1,2-dioetxane-based chemiluminescent probes by reporting significant advances in accurate detection and bioimaging. The design principles and applications for reactive species, enzymes, and other disease-related biomarkers are systematically discussed and summarized. The challenges and potential prospects of chemiluminescent probes are also discussed to further promote the development of new chemiluminescence methods for biological analysis and diagnosis.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanism and progression of neutrophil-involved diseases (e.g., acute inflammation) is of great importance. However, current available analytical methods neither achieve the real-time monitoring nor provide dynamic information during the pathological processes. Herein, a peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and environmental pH dual-responsive afterglow luminescent nanoprobe is designed and synthesized. In the presence of ONOO- at physiological pH, the nanoprobes show activated near-infrared afterglow luminescence, whose intensity and lasting time can be highly enhanced by introducing the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect with a twisted molecular geometry into the system. In vivo studies using three diseased animal models demonstrate that the nanoprobes can sensitively reveal the development process of acute skin inflammation including infiltration of first arrived neutrophils and acidification initiating time, make a fast and accurate discrimination between allergy and inflammation, and rapidly screen the antitumor drugs capable of inducing immunogenic cell death. This work provides an alternative approach and advanced probes permitting precise disease monitoring in real time.

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
Emission of light by matter can occur through a variety of mechanisms. When it results from an electronically excited state of a species produced by a chemical reaction, it is called chemiluminescence (CL). The phenomenon can take place both in natural and artificial chemical systems and it has been utilized in a variety of applications. In this review, we aim to revisit some of the latest CL applications based on direct and indirect production modes. The characteristics of the chemical reactions and the underpinning CL mechanisms are thoroughly discussed in view of studies from the very recent bibliography. Different methodologies aiming at higher CL efficiencies are summarized and presented in detail, including CL type and scaffolds used in each study. The CL role in the development of efficient therapeutic platforms is also discussed in relation to the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and singlet oxygen (1O2) produced, as final products. Moreover, recent research results from our team are included regarding the behavior of commonly used photosensitizers upon chemical activation under CL conditions. The CL prospects in imaging, biomimetic organic and radical chemistry, and therapeutics are critically presented in respect to the persisting challenges and limitations of the existing strategies to date.

Abstract
The emergence of the concept of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has opened new opportunities in many research areas, such as biopsy analysis, biological processes monitoring, and elucidation of key physiological and pathological behaviors. As a new class of luminescent materials, AIE luminogens (AIEgens) possess many prominent advantages such as tunable molecular structures, high molar absorptivity, high brightness, large Stokes shift, excellent photostability, and good biocompatibility. The past two decades have witnessed a dramatic growth of research interest in AIE, and many AIE-based bioprobes with excellent performance have been widely explored in biomedical fields. This review summarizes some of the latest advancements of AIE molecular probes and AIE nanoparticles (NPs) with regards to biomedical and healthcare applications. According to the research areas, the review is divided into five sections, which are imaging and identification of cells and bacteria, photodynamic therapy, multimodal theranostics, deep tissue imaging, and fluorescence-guided surgery. The challenges and future opportunities of AIE materials in the advanced biomedical fields are briefly discussed. In perspective, the AIE-based bioprobes play vital roles in the exploration of advanced bioapplications for the ultimate goal of addressing more healthcare issues by integrating various cutting-edge modalities and techniques.

Abstract
In a myocardial infarction, blood supply to the left ventricle is abrogated due to blockage of one of the coronary arteries, leading to ischemia, which further triggers the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These sequential processes eventually lead to the death of contractile cells and affect the integrity of blood vessels, resulting in the formation of scar tissue. A new heart therapy comprised of cardiac implants encapsulated within an injectable extracellular matrix-gold nanoparticle composite hydrogel is reported. The particles on the collagenous fibers within the hydrogel promote fast transfer of electrical signal between cardiac cells, leading to the functional assembly of the cardiac implants. The composite hydrogel is shown to absorb reactive oxygen species in vitro and in vivo in mice ischemia reperfusion model. The reduction in ROS levels preserve cardiac tissue morphology and blood vessel integrity, reduce the scar size and the inflammatory response, and significantly prevent the deterioration of heart function.
