Abstract
In vivo imaging technologies have emerged as a powerful tool for both fundamental research and clinical practice. In particular, luminescence imaging in the tissue-transparent near-infrared (NIR, 700-1700 nm) region offers tremendous potential for visualizing biological architectures and pathophysiological events in living subjects with deep tissue penetration and high imaging contrast owing to the reduced light-tissue interactions of absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence. The distinctive quantum effects of nanocrystals have been harnessed to achieve exceptional photophysical properties, establishing them as a promising category of luminescent probes. In this comprehensive review, the interactions between light and biological tissues, as well as the advantages of NIR light for in vivo luminescence imaging, are initially elaborated. Subsequently, we focus on achieving deep tissue penetration and improved imaging contrast by optimizing the performance of nanocrystal fluorophores. The ingenious design strategies of NIR nanocrystal probes are discussed, along with their respective biomedical applications in versatile in vivo luminescence imaging modalities. Finally, thought-provoking reflections on the challenges and prospects for future clinical translation of nanocrystal-based in vivo luminescence imaging in the NIR region are wisely provided.

Abstract
Fluorescent bio/chemosensors are widely used in the field of biological research and medical diagnosis, with the advantages of non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, and good selectivity. In particular, luminescent bio/chemosensors, based on lanthanide nanocrystals (LnNCs) with a second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission, have attracted much attention, owing to greater penetration depth, aside from the merits of narrow emission band, abundant emission lines, and long lifetimes. In this review, NIR-II LnNCs-based bio/chemo sensors are summarized from the perspectives of the mechanisms of NIR-II luminescence, synthesis method of LnNCs, strategy of luminescence enhancement, sensing mechanism, and targeted bio/chemo category. Finally, the problems that exist in present LnNCs-based bio/chemosensors are discussed, and the future development trend is prospected.

Biocompatible zinc gallogermanate persistent luminescent nanoparticles for fast tumor drainage lymph node imaging in vivo. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 205:111887.

Abstract
Tumor drainage lymph node identification and dissection are crucial for the oncological surgery to prevent/delay the recurrence. However, commercial imaging reagents distinguish the lymph nodes by staining them dark, which would be seriously interfered by blood and surrounding tissues. In this study, we reported the Cr3+/Pr3+-doped zinc gallogermanate persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) for fast tumor drainage lymph node imaging with high contrast. PLNPs were synthesized by citrate sol-gel method and dispersed in Tween 80 for in vivo applications. PLNPs were well dispersed in water with hydrodynamic radii of 5 nm and emitted strong persistent luminescence at 696 nm upon the irradiation of UV light. The advantage of afterglow imaging over fluorescent imaging of PLNPs was first established after subcutaneous injection to mice with much higher contrast and less interference of autofluorescence. PLNPs quickly migrated to sentinel lymph nodes after the interdermal injection to extremity of mice. The tumor drainage lymph node imaging was achieved within 5 min upon the intratumoral injection to H460 tumor bearing mice and the signal to noise ratio was 462. Due to the lack of targeting moieties, the intravenous injected PLNPs mainly accumulated in liver. There were no statistical changes in serum biochemistry and abnormal histopathological characteristic, indicating the low toxicity of PLNPs. These findings highlighted the great potential of PLNPs as high-performance imaging reagent for lymph node identification.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence bioimaging using above to 1000 nm wavelength region is a promising analytical method on visualizing deep tissues. As compared to the short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV: < 400 nm) or visible (VIS: 400 - 700 nm) region, which results in an extremely low absorption or scattering of biomolecules and water in the body, NIR light passes through the tissues. Various fluorescent probes that emit NIR emission in the second (1100 - 1400 nm) or third (1550 - 1800 nm) biological windows have been developed and used for NIR in vivo imaging. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), quantum dots (QDs), rare-earth doped ceramic nanoparticles (RED-CNPs), and organic dye-based probes have been proposed by many researchers, and are used to successfully visualize the bloodstream, organs, and disease-affected regions, such as cancer. NIR imaging in the second and third biological windows is an effective analytical method on visualizing deep tissues.

Abstract
Deep-tissue fluorescence imaging remains a major challenge as there is limited availability of bright biocompatible materials with high photo- and chemical stability. Contrast agents with emission wavelengths above 1000 nm are most favorable for deep tissue imaging, offering deeper penetration and less scattering than those operating at shorter wavelengths. Organic fluorophores suffer from low stability while inorganic nanomaterials (e.g. quantum dots) are based typically on heavy metals raising toxicity concerns. Here, we report scalable flame aerosol synthesis of water-dispersible Ba3(VO4)2 nanoparticles doped with Mn5+ which exhibit a narrow emission band at 1180 nm upon near-infrared excitation. Their co-synthesis with Bi2O3 results in even higher absorption and ten-fold increased emission intensity. The addition of Bi2O3 also improved both chemical stability and cytocompatibility by an order of magnitude enabling imaging deep within tissue. Taken together, these bright particles offer excellent photo-, chemical and colloidal stability in various media with cytocompatibility to HeLa cells superior to existing commercial contrast agents.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-emitting PbS quantum dots (QDs) are endowed with good stability, high quantum yield, and long lifetime in the body, so they are promising agents in biological imaging. They quickly form the so-called "protein corona" through nonspecific adsorption with proteins in biological fluids once upon exposure to the biological system. Here, PbS QDs and human serum albumin (HSA) were selected as the model system. Fluorescence quenching spectroscopic studies indicated a static quenching process caused by the addition of PbS QDs, which was corroborated by the UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime. Thermodynamic parameters were obtained by the fluorescence quenching method. The enthalpy change and entropy change were well correlated with the "enthalpy-entropy compensation" (EEC) equation summarized in this work. The slope (α = 1.08) and the intercept (TΔS 0 = 34.44 kJ mol-1) indicated that the interaction resembled a protein-protein association. The both negative signs of enthalpy change and entropy change were elucidated by a proposed "two-step association-interaction" (TSAI) model. Agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed that the binding ratio was roughly 2:1 (HSA/QDs), resembling sandwich-like structures. Furthermore, the secondary structure of HSA depended on the concentration of added QDs and the incubation time. The results preliminarily uncovered the physicochemical properties of QDs in the presence of proteins and elucidated the role of time evolution. These will inspire us to make the fluorescent QDs more biocompatible and use them in a proper way.

Abstract
In this review, we focus on sensing techniques and biological applications of various luminescent nanoparticles including quantum dot (QD), up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) following the previous chapter. Fluorescent phenomena can be regulated or shifted by interaction between biological targets and luminescence probes depending on their distance, which is so-called Fӧrster resonance energy transfer (FRET). QD-based FRET technique, which has been widely applied as a bioanalytical tool, is described. We discuss time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) imaging and flow cytometry technique, using photoluminescent nanoparticles with unique properties for effectively improving selectivity and sensitivity. Based on these techniques, bioanalytical and biomedical application, bioimaging with QD, UCNPs, and Euripium-activated luminescent nanoprobes are covered. Combination of optical property of these luminescent nanoparticles with special functions such as drug delivery, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is also described.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of vessel dysfunction is of great significance in preclinical research. Optical bioimaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window provides advantages including high resolution and fast feedback. However, the reported molecular dyes are hampered by limited blood circulation time (~ 5-60 min) and short absorption and emission wavelength, which impede the accurate long-term monitoring. Here, we report a NIR-II molecule (LZ-1105) with absorption and emission beyond 1000 nm. Thanks to the long blood circulation time (half-life of 3.2 h), the fluorophore is used for continuous real-time monitoring of dynamic vascular processes, including ischemic reperfusion in hindlimbs, thrombolysis in carotid artery and opening and recovery of the blood brain barrier (BBB). LZ-1105 provides an approach for researchers to assess vessel dysfunction due to the long excitation and emission wavelength and long-term blood circulation properties.

Abstract
Bright, stable, and biocompatible fluorescent contrast agents operating in the second biological window (1000-1350 nm) are attractive for imaging of deep-lying structures (e.g., tumors) within tissues. Ideally, these contrast agents also provide functional insights, such as information on local temperature. Here, water-dispersible barium phosphate nanoparticles doped with Mn5+ are made by scalable, continuous, and sterile flame aerosol technology and explored as fluorescent contrast agents with temperature-sensitive peak emission in the NIR-II (1190 nm). Detailed assessment of their stability, toxicity with three representative cell lines (HeLa, THP-1, NHDF), and deep-tissue imaging down to about 3 cm are presented. In addition, their high quantum yield (up to 34%) combined with excellent temperature sensitivity paves the way for concurrent deep-tissue imaging and nanothermometry, with biologically well-tolerated nanoparticles.

Abstract
In vivo tracking and monitoring of adoptive cell transfer has a distinct importance in cell‐based therapy. There are many imaging modalities for in vivo monitoring of biodistribution, viability and effectiveness of transferred cells. Some of these procedures are not applicable in the human body because of low sensitivity and high possibility of tissue damages. Shortwave infrared region (SWIR) imaging is a relatively new technique by which deep biological tissues can be potentially visualized with high resolution at cellular level. Indeed, scanning of the electromagnetic spectrum (beyond 1000 nm) of SWIR has a great potential to increase sensitivity and resolution of in vivo imaging for various human tissues. In this review, molecular imaging modalities used for monitoring of biodistribution and fate of administered cells with focusing on the application of non‐invasive optical imaging at shortwave infrared region are discussed in detail.

Abstract
PbS/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) that emit at the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window are synthesized. The PbS seed size and CdS shell thicknesses are carefully controlled to produce bright and narrow fluorescence that are suitable for multiplexing. A polymer encapsulation yields polymer-encapsulated NIR-II QDs (PQDs), which provides the QDs with long-term fluorescence stability over a week in biological media. Exploiting the simple bioconjugation capability of PQDs, folic acids are conjugated to PQDs that can efficiently label folate receptor overexpressing cell lines. The PQDs afford multiplexed and nearly real-time longitudinal whole-body in vivo imaging. Two NIR-II QD probes are prepared: folic acid-conjugated PQDs (FA-PQDs) emitting at 1280 nm and unconjugated PQDs emitting at 1080 nm. The two PQDs are engineered to have compact and similar hydrodynamic sizes. A mixture of the folic acid-conjugated PQD and unconjugated PQDs is injected intravenously into a tumor-xenografted mouse, and the signals from them are monitored. This NIR-II whole-body imaging with the two PQDs provides precise evaluation of the active ligand-assisted tumor-targeting capability of the FA-PQD probe because the hydrodynamic size control of the two PQDs effectively eliminates effects from the size-dependent accumulations by permeations and retentions in tumors.

Abstract
In-vivo intravital short wavelength infrared (SWIR, 1000-2300 nm) fluorescence imaging has attracted considerable attention in the imaging of tumor vasculature due to its low background, high sensitivity, and deep penetration. It can noninvasively provide dynamic feedback on the tumorigenesis, growth, necrosis and metastasis. Herein, monodisperse Nd3+-doped core-shell downconversion luminescent nanocrystals with strong emission in the second near-infrared (NIR II) window, strong temperature-dependent paramagnetism and fast attenuation to X-rays were prepared from ultra-small nanoclusters. The use of nanoclusters resulted in very uniform bright nanocrystals with a relative quantum yield comparable to the standard dye IR-26. These bright NIR nanocrystals were modified with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] to endow with excellent water-solubility, biocompatibility and a blood circulation half-life of 5.9 h. They were then successfully used to demonstrate the variation of tumor vasculature with tumor progression from tumorigenesis, growth, to necrosis in the subcutaneous breast tumor through the NIR II fluorescence imaging. They were also used as contrast agent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging of tumor to provide complementary anatomic structure. Their great potential in NIR II imaging of tumor was further demonstrated with an orthotopic breast tumor. Their in-vivo biosafety was also investigated by hemanalysis and histological analyses.

Abstract
For in vivo imaging, the short-wavelength infrared region (SWIR; 1000–2000 nm) provides several advantages over the visible and near-infrared regions: general lack of autofluorescence, low light absorption by blood and tissue, and reduced scattering. However, the lack of versatile and functional SWIR emitters has prevented the general adoption of SWIR imaging by the biomedical research community. Here, we introduce a class of high-quality SWIR-emissive indium-arsenide-based quantum dots (QDs) that are readily modifiable for various functional imaging applications, and that exhibit narrow and size-tunable emission and a dramatically higher emission quantum yield than previously described SWIR probes. To demonstrate the unprecedented combination of deep penetration, high spatial resolution, multicolor imaging and fast-acquisition-speed afforded by the SWIR QDs, we quantified, in mice, the metabolic turnover rates of lipoproteins in several organs simultaneously and in real time as well as heartbeat and breathing rates in awake and unrestrained animals, and generated detailed three-dimensional quantitative flow maps of the mouse brain vasculature.

Abstract
In vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II window, 1000-1700 nm) is a powerful imaging technique that emerged in recent years. This imaging tool allows for noninvasive, deep-tissue visualization and interrogation of anatomical features and functions with improved imaging resolution and contrast at greater tissue penetration depths than traditional fluorescence imaging. Here, we present the detailed protocol for conducting NIR-II fluorescence imaging in live animals, including the procedures for preparation of biocompatible and NIR-II fluorescent carbon nanotube solution, live animal administration and NIR-II fluorescence image acquisition.
