Abstract
Designing lanthanide luminescence lifetime sensors in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window holds great potentials for physiological studies. However, the single lifetime signal is confined to one or two orders of magnitude of signal variation, which limits the sensitivity of lifetime probes. In this study, a lifetime cascade system, i.e., ZGO:Mn, Eu-DNA-1/TCPP-PEI70K@Yb-AptEpCAM, with a variety of signals (τm, τn, τµ, τm/τn and τm/τµ) is constructed for exosome identification using time-domain multiplexing. The sensitized ligand TCPP acts as both target-modulated switch and a bridge for connecting long lifetime ZGO:Mn, Eu-DNA-1 emitter to lanthanide Yb3+. This drives successive dual-path energy transfer and forms two D(donor)-A(acceptor) pairs. The lifetime variation is dominantly modulated by arranging TCPP as energy intermediate relay to covert milliseconds to nanoseconds to microseconds. It enables a broad lifetime range of six orders of magnitude. The presence of exosome specifically recognizes aptamers on TCPP-PEI70K@Yb-AptEpCAM to impede D-A pairs and reverse multiplexed response signals of the lifetime cascade system. The ratio lifetime signals τm/τn and τm/τµ achieve prominent exosome quantification and exosome type differentiation attributed to signal amplification. The cascade system relying on lifetime criteria can realize precise quantization and provide an effective strategy for subsequent physiological study.

Abstract
The extraordinary and unique properties of persistent luminescent (PerLum) nanostructures like storage of charge carriers, extended afterglow, and some other fascinating characteristics like no need for in-situ excitation, and rechargeable luminescence make such materials a primary candidate in the fields of bio-imaging and therapeutics. Apart from this, due to their extraordinary properties they have also found their place in the fields of anti-counterfeiting, latent fingerprinting (LPF), luminescent markings, photocatalysis, solid-state lighting devices, glow-in-dark toys, etc. Over the past few years, persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) have been extensively used for targeted drug delivery, bio-imaging guided photodynamic and photo-thermal therapy, biosensing for cancer detection and subsequent treatment, latent fingerprinting, and anti-counterfeiting owing to their enhanced charge storage ability, in-vitro excitation, increased duration of time between excitation and emission, low tissue absorption, high signal-to-noise ratio, etc. In this review, we have focused on most of the key aspects related to PLNPs, including the different mechanisms leading to such phenomena, key fabrication techniques, properties of hosts and different activators, emission, and excitation characteristics, and important properties of trap states. This review article focuses on recent advances in cancer theranostics with the help of PLNPs. Recent advances in using PLNPs for anti-counterfeiting and latent fingerprinting are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) are innovative materials able to emit light for a long time after the end of their excitation. Thanks to this property, their detection can be separated in time from the excitation, making it possible to obtain images with a high signal-to-noise ratio. This optical property can be of particular interest for the development of in vitro biosensors. Here, we report the unexpected effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) on the signal intensity of ZnGa2 O4 :Cr3+ (ZGO) nanoparticles. In the presence of H2 O2 , the signal intensity of ZGO can be amplified. This signal amplification can be used to detect and quantify H2 O2 in various media, using non-functionalized ZGO nanoparticles. This small molecule can be produced by several oxidases when they react with their substrate. Indeed, the quantification of glucose, lactic acid, and uric acid is possible. The limit of detection could be lowered by modifying the nanoparticles synthesis route. These optimized nanoparticles can also be used as new biosensor to detect larger molecules such as antigen, using the appropriate antibody. This unique property, i.e., persistent luminescence signal enhancement induced by H2 O2 , represents a new way to detect biomolecules which could lead to a very large number of bioassay applications.

Abstract
Zinc germanate doped with Mn2+ (Zn2GeO4:Mn2+) is known to be a persistent luminescence green phosphor with potential applications in biosensing and bioimaging. Such applications demand nanoparticulated phosphors with a uniform shape and size, good dispersibility in aqueous media, high chemical stability, and surface-functionalization. These characteristics could be major bottlenecks and hence limit their practical applications. This work describes a one-pot, microwave-assisted hydrothermal method to synthesize highly uniform Zn2GeO4:Mn2+ nanoparticles (NPs) using polyacrylic acid (PAA) as an additive. A thorough characterization of the NPs showed that the PAA molecules were essential to realizing uniform NPs as they were responsible for the ordered aggregation of their building blocks. In addition, PAA remained attached to the NPs surface, which conferred high colloidal stability to the NPs through electrostatic and steric interactions, and provided carboxylate groups that can act as anchor sites for the eventual conjugation of biomolecules to the surface. In addition, it was demonstrated that the as-synthesized NPs were chemically stable for, at least, 1 week in phosphate buffer saline (pH range = 6.0-7.4). The luminescence properties of Zn2GeO4 NPs doped with different contents of Mn2+ (0.25-3.00 mol %) were evaluated to find the optimum doping level for the highest photoluminescence (2.50% Mn) and the longest persistent luminescence (0.50% Mn). The NPs with the best persistent luminescence properties were photostable for at least 1 week. Finally, taking advantage of such properties and the presence of surface carboxylate groups, the Zn2GeO4:0.50%Mn2+ sample was successfully used to develop a persistent luminescence-based sandwich immunoassay for the autofluorescence-free detection of interleukin-6 in undiluted human serum and undiluted human plasma samples. This study demonstrates that our persistent Mn-doped Zn2GeO4 nanophosphors are ideal candidates for biosensing applications.

Abstract
A facile, quick, and sensitive ratiometric luminescence sensor is designed for detection aluminum ions in water samples using luminescence or eye-vision. This approach relies on the emission change of the europium(III) complex with 3-(2-naphthoyl)-1,1,1,-trifluoro acetone (3-NTA) after interaction with various concentration of aluminum ions. The addition of aluminum ions suppressed the Eu(III) emission at 615 nm under 333 nm excitation, while simultaneously enhancing the ligand emission at 480 nm. Optimum detection was obtained in methanol. The quantification of aluminum ions using ratiometric method was determined by plotting the luminescence ratio (F480nm/F615nm) versus aluminum ions concentration. The calibration plot was obtained within the range 0.1-100 µM with LOD = 0.27 µM. Additionally, the concentration of aluminum ions can be estimated semi-quantitatively by visually observing the luminescence colour change of the probe from red to light green and then to dark green after being excited by a UV lamp with 365 nm. As far as we are aware, this is the first luminescent lanthanide complex-based ratiometric probe for the detection of aluminum ions. The probe showed remarkable aluminum ions selectivity relative to that of other metal ions. The suggested sensor was used effectively to identify aluminum ions in water samples with good results.

Abstract
The outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has again emphasized the significance of developing rapid and highly sensitive testing tools for quickly identifying infected patients. Although the current reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) diagnostic techniques can satisfy the required sensitivity and specificity, the inherent disadvantages with time-consuming, sophisticated equipment and professional operators limit its application scopes. Compared with traditional detection techniques, optical biosensors based on nanomaterials/nanostructures have received much interest in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 due to the high sensitivity, high accuracy, and fast response. In this review, the research progress on optical biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, including fluorescence biosensors, colorimetric biosensors, Surface Enhancement Raman Scattering (SERS) biosensors, and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensors, was comprehensively summarized. Further, promising strategies to improve optical biosensors are also explained. Optical biosensors can not only realize the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 but also be applied to judge the infectiousness of the virus and guide the choice of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, showing enormous potential to become point-of-care detection tools for the timely control of the pandemic.

Abstract
Due to their capabilities of immobilizing more bioreceptor parts with reduced volumes, nanomaterials have emerged as potential tools for increasing sensitivity to specific molecules. Furthermore, carbon nanotube, gold nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots, graphene, nano-diamonds and graphene are among the nanomaterials that are under investigation. Due to the fast development of such a field of research, review summarises the classification of biosensors using main receptors, and designing biosensors. Numerous studies have concentrated on the manipulation of Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) in biosensing, cell tracking, bioimaging, and cancer therapy due to the effective removal of the autofluorescence interferences from tissues and the ultra-long near-infrared afterglow emission. As luminescence has a unique optical property, it can be detected without constant external illumination, preventing autofluorescence and light dispersion through tissues. These successes sparked an increasing curiosity in creating novel PLNP kinds with desired superior properties and multiple purposes. In this review, we emphasize the most recent developments in biosensing, imaging, and image-guided therapy while summarizing the research on synthesis methods, bio applications, bio membrane modification and bio-safety of PLNPs. Finally, the remaining issues and difficulties are examined together with prospective future developments in the field of biomedical applications.

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

Abstract
Research related to the development and application of luminescent nanoparticles (LNPs) for chemical and biological analysis and imaging is flourishing. Novel materials and new applications continue to be reported after two decades of research. This review provides a comprehensive and heuristic overview of this field. It is targeted to both newcomers and experts who are interested in a critical assessment of LNP materials, their properties, strengths and weaknesses, and prospective applications. Numerous LNP materials are cataloged by fundamental descriptions of their chemical identities and physical morphology, quantitative photoluminescence (PL) properties, PL mechanisms, and surface chemistry. These materials include various semiconductor quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene derivatives, carbon dots, nanodiamonds, luminescent metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles and downshifting nanoparticles, triplet-triplet annihilation nanoparticles, persistent-luminescence nanoparticles, conjugated polymer nanoparticles and semiconducting polymer dots, multi-nanoparticle assemblies, and doped and labeled nanoparticles, including but not limited to those based on polymers and silica. As an exercise in the critical assessment of LNP properties, these materials are ranked by several application-related functional criteria. Additional sections highlight recent examples of advances in chemical and biological analysis, point-of-care diagnostics, and cellular, tissue, and in vivo imaging and theranostics. These examples are drawn from the recent literature and organized by both LNP material and the particular properties that are leveraged to an advantage. Finally, a perspective on what comes next for the field is offered.

Abstract
When analyzing biological phenomena and processes, multiplexed biodetection has many advantages over single-factor biodetection and is highly relevant to both human health issues and advancements in the life sciences. However, many key problems with current multiplexed biodetection strategies remain unresolved. Herein, the main issues are analyzed and summarized: 1) generating sufficient signal to label targets, 2) improving the signal-to-noise ratio to ensure total detection sensitivity, and 3) simplifying the detection process to reduce the time and labor costs of multiple target detection. Then, available solutions made possible by designing and controlling the properties of micro- and nanomaterials are introduced. The aim is to emphasize the role that micro-/nanomaterials can play in the improvement of multiplexed biodetection strategies. Through analyzing existing problems, introducing state-of-the-art developments regarding relevant materials, and discussing future directions of the field, it is hopeful to help promote necessary developments in multiplexed biodetection and associated scientific research.

Abstract
The continuous intake of 17β-estradiol (E2) residue from animal-derived food may pose a threat to the health of consumers, so the rapid screen and detection of E2 is very necessary. Although visual immunochromatographic strip (ICS) has played a great role in food safety control such as the screen of many food contaminants, it cannot meet the requirements for E2 detection due to the insufficient sensitivity of traditional visual ICS and the low concentration range of estrogen in food. Here, we developed a dual-mode ICS strategy to achieve rapid and highly sensitive detection of E2. Based on the visual detection mode of a competitive ICS, the afterglow detection mode working in fluorescence resonance energy transfer mechanism was introduced by using the afterglow particles (APs) as energy donor and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as energy acceptor. In this method, large APs of micron size with superior afterglow were applied as the test zone-fixed fluorescence signal source, thus the contradiction between migration and afterglow characteristics was skillfully resolved. In addition, a 6 W UV lamp was used as the light source to excite APs, and a smartphone was used to capture an image of 0.5 s after the UV light was turned off to effectively remove the autofluorescence from the strips and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The limit of detection of this afterglow mode was 0.5 ng/mL, twenty times more sensitive than that of visual mode (10 ng/mL). The strategy has been successfully applied to the detection of estradiol in milk and verified by HPLC-FLD.

Abstract
Mycotoxins contamination in agricultural products poses a serious threat to human and animal health, so rapid and sensitive nanosensors for simultaneous determination of multiple mycotoxins in food samples are highly desirable for food safety monitoring. Herein, we report the fabrication of functional dual-colored persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) in conjunction with Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles as a nanosensor for the simultaneous biosensing of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) in food samples. Two types of PLNPs with a single excitation wavelength, Zn2GeO4:Mn2+ and Zn1.25Ga1.5Ge0.25O4:Cr3+,Yb3+,Er3+, are employed as the signal units, and aptamers with high affinity and specificity to the corresponding mycotoxins are used as the recognition units. The nanosensor was fabricated by hybridizing the aptamer modified PLNPs with the complementary DNA modified Fe3O4. The developed nanosensor offers the integrated merits of autofluorescence-free detection of persistent luminescence, the high specificity of aptamer and the high speed of magnetic separation, allowing highly sensitive and selective detection of AFB1 and ZEN in food samples with the limits of detection of 0.29 pg mL-1 for AFB1 and 0.22 pg mL-1 for ZEN and the recoveries of 93.6%-103.2% for AFB1 and 94.7%-105.1% for ZEN. This work also provides a novel universal PLNPs-based optical platform for the simultaneous detection of multiple contaminants in complex samples.

Abstract
Serious ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination necessitates the development of rapid, sensitive and selective analytical methods for its determination in food safety. Herein, we report a persistent luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) based aptasensor for the autofluorescence-free detection of OTA. OTA aptamer functionalized persistent luminescence nanorod (PLNR) Zn2GeO4:Mn2+ and the aptamer complementary DNA modified gold nanoparticle (AuNP) were used as the donor and the acceptor, respectively. The developed LRET aptasensor integrated the advantages of the long-lasting persistent luminescence of PLNR, the high selectivity of aptamer and the low probe background of LRET sensors, allowing autofluorescence-free detection of OTA in biological samples with high sensitivity and selectivity. The developed LRET aptasensor gave an excellent linearity in the range of 0.01-10 ng mL-1, the detection limit of 3 pg mL-1 and the precision of 2.7% (RSD, n = 11) at 1 ng mL-1 level. The applicability of the developed aptasensor was demonstrated by analyzing beer samples for OTA with the recoveries of 92.3%-104%.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence phosphors are a novel group of promising luminescent materials with afterglow properties after the stoppage of excitation. In the past decade, persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) with intriguing optical properties have attracted a wide range of attention in various areas. Especially in recent years, the development and applications in biomedical fields have been widely explored. Owing to the efficient elimination of the autofluorescence interferences from biotissues and the ultra-long near-infrared afterglow emission, many researches have focused on the manipulation of PLNPs in biosensing, cell tracking, bioimaging and cancer therapy. These achievements stimulated the growing interest in designing new types of PLNPs with desired superior characteristics and multiple functions. In this review, we summarize the works on synthesis methods, bioapplications, biomembrane modification and biosafety of PLNPs and highlight the recent advances in biosensing, imaging and imaging-guided therapy. We further discuss the new types of PLNPs as a newly emerged class of functional biomaterials for multiple applications. Finally, the remaining problems and challenges are discussed with suggestions and prospects for potential future directions in the biomedical applications.

Abstract
An aptamer-based colorimetric-phosphorescent assay was developed for the detection of isocarbophos. The colorimetric assay relied on the aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) caused by the competitive binding of aptamer between isocarbophos and AuNPs in the presence of a high salt concentration. The further addition of persistent luminescence nanorods (PLNRs) into the system showed the phosphorescence sensitively proportional to the concentration of isocarbophos, due to the inner filter effect between PLNRs and AuNPs. The assay showed good linearity within 50-500 μg/L and 5-160 μg/L, and limit of detection of 7.1 μg/L and 0.54 μg/L in colorimetry and phosphorescence mode, respectively. The feasibility of this approach for food analysis was demonstrated with the sensitive and selective determination of isocarbophos residues in vegetables.

Abstract
Detection of biomarkers in complex samples is a significant health plan strategy for medical diagnosis, therapy monitoring, and health management. However, high background noise resulting from impurities and other analytes in complex samples has hampered the improvement of detection sensitivity and accuracy. Herein, an ultralow background biochip based on time-gated luminescent probes supported by photonic crystals (PCs) was successfully developed for detection of bladder cancer (BC)-related miRNA biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity in urine samples. Coupled with the time-gated luminescence of long-lifetime luminescence probes and the luminescence-enhanced capability of PCs, the short-lived autofluorescence can be efficiently removed; thus, the detection sensitivity will be significantly improved. Benefiting from these merits, a detection limit of 26.3 fM is achieved. Furthermore, the biochip exhibits excellent performance in urinary miRNA detection, and good recoveries are also obtained. The developed biochip possesses unique properties of ultralow background and luminescence enhancement, thus offering a suitable tool for the detection of BC-related miRNA in urine. With rational design of probe sequences, the biochip holds great potential for many other biomarkers in real patient samples, making it valuable in areas such as medical diagnosis and disease evaluation.

Abstract
Luminescent nanomaterials have attracted great attention in luminescence-based bioanalysis due to their abundant optical and tunable surface physicochemical properties. However, luminescent nanomaterials often suffer from serious autofluorescence and light scattering interference when applied to complex biological samples. Time-resolved luminescence methodology can efficiently eliminate autofluorescence and light scattering interference by collecting the luminescence signal of a long-lived probe after the background signals decays completely. Lanthanides have a unique [Xe]4fN electronic configuration and ladder-like energy states, which endow lanthanide-doped nanoparticles with many desirable optical properties, such as long luminescence lifetimes, large Stokes/anti-Stokes shifts, and sharp emission bands. Due to their long luminescence lifetimes, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles are widely used for high-sensitive biosensing and high-contrast bioimaging via time-resolved luminescence methodology. In this review, recent progress in the development of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles and their application in time-resolved biosensing and bioimaging are summarized. At the end of this review, the current challenges and perspectives of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles for time-resolved bioapplications are discussed.

Abstract
Bioavailable persistent luminescence material is an ideal internal light source for long-term photodynamic therapy, but inevitably suffers from low utilization efficiency and weak persistent luminescence due to corrosion and screening processes. Herein, we show a facile and smart "turning solid into gel" strategy to fabricate persistent luminescence hydrogel for high-efficient persistent luminescence-sensitized photodynamic therapy. The homogeneous persistent luminescence hydrogel was synthesized via dispersing high-temperature calcined persistent luminescence material without corrosion and screening into a biocompatible alginate-Ca2+ hydrogel. The simple synthesis strategy allows 100% of utilization efficiency and intact persistent luminescence of persistent luminescence material. The persistent luminescence hydrogel possesses favorable biocompatibility, bright persistent luminescence, red light renewability, good syringeability, and strong fixing ability in tumors. The persistent luminescence hydrogel can be easily injected in vivo as a powerful localized light source for superior persistent luminescence-sensitized photodynamic therapy of tumors. The "turning solid into gel" strategy enables taking full advantages of persistent luminescence for biological applications, and shows great potential in utilizing diverse theranostic agents regardless of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity.

Abstract
Optical sensors have numerous positive attributes such as low invasiveness, miniaturizability, biocompatibility, and ease of signal transduction. Recently, there has been a strong research focus on using phosphorescent readout mechanisms, specifically from long-lifetime phosphorescent or ‘persistent luminescence’ particles, for in vitro and in vivo sensors. Persistent luminescence readouts can avoid cellular autofluorescence during biological monitoring, leading to an improved signal-to-noise ratio over a more traditional fluorescence readout. In this study, we show for the first time an ionophore-based optical bulk optode sensor that utilizes persistent luminescence microparticles for ion detection. To achieve this, we combined long-lifetime strontium aluminate-based ‘glow-in-the-dark’ microparticles with a non-fluorescent pH-responsive dye in a hydrophobic plasticized polymer membrane along with traditional ionophore-based optical sensor components to create a phosphorescent ‘Glow Sensor’. The non-fluorescent pH indicator dye gates the strontium aluminate luminescence signal so that it decreases in magnitude with increasing sodium concentration. We characterized the Glow Sensor in terms of emission lifetime, dynamic range, response time, reversibility, selectivity, and stability. A sodium-selective bulk-optode sensor is created by coupling persistent luminescence microparticles with a pH-sensitive dye through an ionophore-based detection mechanism.![]()

Abstract
EDTA etching, the first strategy that simply generates deep traps while reducing the size and improving the aqueous-dispersibility, is presented.
Traps, size and aqueous-dispersibility are the most important parameters that affect the features and applications of persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs). However, simultaneous controlling of these parameters is rather difficult and has not been reported yet. We present the first exploration on adjusting the traps, size and aqueous-dispersibility of PLNPs via simple ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) etching. Cr0.0043+:ZnGa2O4 (ZGO) was used as the PLNP model. EDTA etching of the sintered ZGO results in effective reduction of the size and great improvement in the aqueous-dispersibility. In addition, EDTA etching alters the density of mediate traps and generates new deep traps, thus achieving the massive production of (ultra)small ZGO–EDTA with fine aqueous-dispersibility, suitable mediate/deep traps and superlong bright afterglows (51 days). As EDTA can interact with most metals, this simple EDTA etching strategy is prospectively amenable to other PLNPs, and the resulting PLNPs–EDTA have wide applications in both biological field and information storage.

Abstract
Traditional photoluminescence resonance energy transfer (PRET)-based sensors are widely applied, but still suffer from the severe background interference from in situ excitation. The afterglow nature of the persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) allows optosensing after the stoppage of in situ illumination, and thus subtly overcomes that interference. We proposed a simple strategy for functionalizing PLNPs for bioanalytical applications and the new afterglow resonance energy transfer (ARET)-based assay for quantitative determination and imaging of fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα) in live cells using Au-decorated Cr3+0.004:ZnGa2O4 as donor and Cy5.5-KGPNQC-SH as acceptor. The ARET between the donor and acceptor quenches the afterglow of the donor, and the cleavage of peptide KGPNQC by FAPα inhibits the ARET and restores the afterglow of the donor. The ARET-based assay of FAPα, with the linear range of 0.1-2.0 mg·L-1 (1.2-22.9 nM), LOD of 11 μg·L-1 (115 pM), and RSD of 3.9% (for 0.5 mg·L-1 FAPα, n = 5), displays higher sensitivity, lower limit of detection (LOD), and better anti-interference capability than the corresponding PRET-based assay. Besides, the ARET-based sensors are lighted up by the FAPα-positive U87MG and MDA-MB-435 cells, but kept in the dark when incubated in the FAPα-negative AD293 cells. The proposed ARET-based sensor can detect FAPα of U87MG and MDA-MB-435 living cells in human serum with the spiked recoveries of 95.6-103%. Our data demonstrated a simple and effective strategy for bridging PLNPs to bioanalytical applications, and an attractive ARET assay of FAPα.

Abstract
Persistent luminous nanoparticles (PLNPs) have been capturing increasing attention in biomedical imaging because of their long-life emission and concomitant benefits ( e.g., zero-autofluorescence background, high signal-to-noise ratio). Although there are quite some synthetic methodologies to synthesize PLNPs, those for constructing functional structured PLNPs remain largely unexplored. Herein we report the design principle, synthesis route, and proof-of-concept applications of hollow structured PLNPs with near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence, namely afterglow, and tunable sizes for tumor afterglow imaging and chemical/photodynamic therapies. The design principle leverages on the crystallization of the immobilized parent ions on the purgeable carbon spheres. This strategy provides large and size-tunable hollow cavities to PLNPs after calcination. Building on the hollow cavity of PLNPs, high chemical drug (DOX) or photosensitizer (Si-Pc) loading can be achieved. The DOX/Si-Pc-loaded hollow PLNPs exhibit efficient tumor suppression based on the features of large cavity and afterglow of PLNPs. These hollow structured PLNPs, like traditional solid PLNPs, are quite stable and can be repeatedly activated, and particularly can selectively target tumor lesion, permitting rechargeable afterglow imaging in living mice. Our research supplies a strategy to synthesize hollow structured PLNPs, and hopefully it could inspire other innovative structures for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) are unique optical materials emitting long-lasting luminescence after ceasing excitation. Such a unique optical feature allows luminescence detection without constant external illumination to avoid the interferences of autofluorescence and scattering light from biological fluids and tissues. Besides, near-infrared (NIR) PLNPs have advantages of deep penetration and the reactivation of the persistent luminescence (PL) by red or NIR light. These features make the application of NIR-emitting PLNPs in long-term bioimaging no longer limited by the lifetime of PL. To take full advantage of PLNPs for biological applications, the versatile strategies for bridging PLNPs and biological system become increasingly significant for the design of PLNPs-based nanoprobes. In this Account, we summarize our systematic achievements in the biological applications of PLNPs from biosensing/bioimaging to theranostics with emphasizing the engineering strategies for fabricating specific PLNPs-based nanoprobes. We take surface engineering and manipulating energy transfer as the major principles to design various PLNPs-based nanoprobes based on the nature of interactions between nanoprobes and targets. We have developed target-induced formation or interruption of fluorescence resonance energy transfer systems for autofluorescence-free biosensing and imaging of cancer biomarkers. We have decorated single or dual targeting ligands on PLNPs for tumor-targeted imaging, and integrated other modal imaging agents into PLNPs for multimodal imaging. We have also employed specific functionalization for various biomedical applications including chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, stem cells tracking and PL imaging-guided gene therapy. Besides, we have modified PLNPs with multiple functional units to achieve challenging metastatic tumor theranostics. The proposed design principle and comprehensive strategies show great potential in guiding the design of PLNPs nanoprobes and promoting further development of PLNPs in the fields of biological science and medicine. We conclude this Account by outlining the future directions to further promote the practical application of PLNPs. The novel protocols for the synthesis of small-size, monodisperse, and water-soluble PLNPs with high NIR PL intensity and superlong afterglow are the vibrant directions for the biomedical applications of PLNPs. In-depth theories and evidence on luminescence mechanism of PLNPs are highly desired for further improvement of their luminescence performance. Furthermore, other irradiations without tissue penetrating depth limit, such as X-ray, are encouraged for use in energy storage and re-excitation of PLNPs, enabling imaging in deep tissue in vivo and integrating other X-ray sensitized theranostic techniques such as computed tomography imaging and radiotherapy. Last but not least, PLNPs-based nanoprobes and the brand new hybrids of PLNPs with other nanomaterials show a bright prospect for accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment of diseases besides tumors.

Abstract
Metastasis is the main cause of death in people with cancer. Early diagnosis and targeted therapy for metastasis is crucial for the survival of the cancer patients. However, metastasis is hard to trace for its small size, dispersed distribution and unvascularized anatomy. Here we report a biomimetic persistent luminescent nanoplatform for noninvasive high-sensitive diagnosis and 808 nm laser controlled photodynamics assisted chemotherapy of metastasis. The nanoplatform is composed of a photosensitizer functionalized persistent luminescent nanoparticle core, a doxorubicin loaded hollow silica interlayer and a cancer cell membrane shell for effective metastasis theranostic. The cancer cell membrane shell prevents drug leakage and endows the nanoplatform with targeting ability to metastasis. The reactivatable persistent luminescence of persistent luminescent nanoparticles not only enables long-term in vivo metastasis tracking, but also provides internal light source for singlet oxygen generation to kill cancer cells and further break the membrane shell for drug release. This work provides a promising strategy to develop persistent luminescence imaging guided theranostic nanoplatforms for early metastasis.

Abstract
An amplified fluorescence biosensing strategy for serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) was developed on the basis of DNAzyme. In presence of cofactor Zn2+, Zn2+ -dependent DNAzyme could cleave the hairpin substrate probes which were dispersed in solution and generate remarkable fluorescent signal. Taking advantage of the magnetic beads as a carrier, one target protein could bring plentiful hairpin substrate probes on to the electrode through a sandwich structure (Ab1/PSA/biotin-Ab2). Moreover, during the cleavage process of as formed DNAzyme, DNAzyme did not be destroyed and could further react with other hairpin probes, then generated continuous fluorescent signal. Benefited by this amplified strategy, the limit of detection (LOD) was low to 0.05 ng mL-1, which was much lower than our previous reports. This method could be applied to detect different protein biomarkers in serum without corresponding aptamers by changing the corresponding antibodies and thus showed a remarkable prospect in clinical application.

Abstract
The use of a robust optical signaling probe with a high signal-to-noise ratio is important in the development of immunoassays. Lanthanide chelates are a promising material for this purpose, which provide time-resolved luminescence (TRL) due to their large Stokes shift and long luminescence lifetime. From this, they have attracted considerable interest in the in vitro diagnostics field. However, the direct use of lanthanide chelates is limited because their luminescent signal can be easily affected by various quenchers. To overcome this drawback, strategies that rely on the entrapment of lanthanide chelates inside nanoparticles, thereby enabling the protection of the lanthanide chelate from water, have been reported. However, the poor stability of the lanthanide-entrapped nanoparticles results in a significant fluctuation in TRL signal intensity, and this still remains a challenging issue. To address this, we have developed a Lanthanide chelate-Encapsulated Silica Nano Particle (LESNP) as a new immunosensing probe. In this approach, the lanthanide chelate is covalently crosslinked within the silane monomer during the silica nanoparticle formation. The resulting LESNP is physically stable and retains TRL properties of the parent lanthanide chelate. Using the probe, a highly sensitive, sandwich-based TRL immunoassay for the cardiac troponin I was conducted, exhibiting a limit of detection of 48 pg/mL. On the basis of the features of the LESNP such as TRL signaling capability, stability, and the ease of biofunctionalization, we expect that the LESNP can be widely applied in the development of TRL-based immunosensing.

Abstract
Afterglow or persistent luminescence eliminates the need for light excitation and thus circumvents the issue of autofluorescence, holding promise for molecular imaging. However, current persistent luminescence agents are rare and limited to inorganic nanoparticles. This study reports the design principle, synthesis, and proof-of-concept application of organic semiconducting nanoparticles (OSNs) with ultralong phosphorescence for in vivo afterglow imaging. The design principle leverages the formation of aggregates through a top-down nanoparticle formulation to greatly stabilize the triplet excited states of a phosphorescent molecule. This prolongs the particle luminesce to the timescale that can be detected by the commercial whole-animal imaging system after removal of external light source. Such ultralong phosphorescent of OSNs is inert to oxygen and can be repeatedly activated, permitting imaging of lymph nodes in living mice with a high signal-to-noise ratio. This study not only introduces the first category of water-soluble ultralong phosphorescence organic nanoparticles but also reveals a universal design principle to prolong the lifetime of phosphorescent molecules to the level that can be effective for molecular imaging.

Abstract
Herein, high-quality Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) have been synthesized using a facile approach directly in aqueous media. The surface of the obtained QDs was further modified by cap-exchange of the native cysteine shell with dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) ligands resulting in nanocrystals with high water-stability having an intense phosphorescent signal. Covalent bioconjugation of the DHLA-coated nanoparticles with an anti-IgG antibody was then carried out. Interestingly the QD immunoprobe (QD-labelled antibodies) maintained an intense phosphorescence emission, without any significant spectral-shift (as compared to the free QDs). Coupling of an asymmetric flow field flow fractionation technique to an elemental mass spectrometry detection enabled the accurate determination of the efficiency of the bioconjugation reaction. The obtained nanoparticle-antibody bioconjugate was then applied to develop a quantitative sandwich-type phosphorescent immunoassay for Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), and a limit of detection (LOD) of 17 pg mL-1 of PSA was achieved and allow to quantify such biomarker in samples within clinically relevant levels. Finally, the assay was validated for the quantification of PSA in the cellular media of prostate cancer cells. Obtained results proved the robustness of the proposed immunoassay based on long-lived phosphorescence measurements against eventual photoluminescent interferences significantly affecting the conventional short-lived fluorescence detection.

Abstract
The development of the multimodal probes is of great importance for bioimaging application. Herein, we report the fabrication of a functional nanocomposite from near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) and Gd2O3 as a multimodal probe for in vivo NIR persistent luminescence and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Small-sized monodispersed NIR ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ PLNPs (ca. 15 nm) were prepared as the NIR persistent luminescence source by a hydrothermal method while hyaluronic acid (HA) functionalized Gd2O3 (HA-Gd2O3) was synthesized as the MR contrast agent via a biomineralization approach. An EDC/NHS coupling strategy was used to connect the amino functionalized PLNPs and the HA-Gd2O3 to give the HA functionalized multimodal probe. The multimodal probe not only exhibits an excellent NIR persistent luminescence signal, but also exhibits larger longitudinal relaxivity (7.38 mM-1 s-1) than commercial contrast agent Gd-DTPA. Moreover, the HA moieties not only enhance the biocompatibility of the multimodal probe, but also endow the probe with tumor-targeting capability. Both in vitro and in vivo bioimaging experiments demonstrate the potential of the multimodal probe for tumor-targeting NIR persistent luminescence and MR imaging.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) have shown great promise in the field of biomedicine, but are currently limited by the challenge in the synthesis of high-quality PLNPs with bright persistent luminescence and a long afterglow time. Herein, we report a facile strategy for the synthesis of monodisperse, rechargeable and LED-activated ZnGa2O4 : Cr3+ near-infrared (NIR) PLNPs based on a modified solvothermal liquid-solid-solution method. The as-synthesized PLNPs are not only flexible for bioconjugation, but could also circumvent the limitation of the weak persistent luminescence and short afterglow time that most PLNPs confronted owing to their rechargeable capability. It was unraveled that both thermal activation and quantum tunneling mechanisms contributed to the afterglow decay of the PLNPs, and the quantum tunneling was found to dictate the LED-activated afterglow intensity and lasting time. Furthermore, by utilizing the superior excitation-free persistent luminescence, we demonstrated for the first time the application of biotinylated ZnGa2O4 : Cr3+ PLNPs as background-free luminescent nano-bioprobes for sensitive and specific detection of avidin in a heterogeneous assay with a limit of detection down to ∼150 pM, thus revealing the great potential of these NIR PLNPs in ultrasensitive biodetection and bioimaging.

Abstract
Imaging nanoprobes are a group of nanosized agents developed for providing improved contrast for bioimaging. Among various imaging probes, optical sensors capable of following biological events or progresses at the cellular and molecular levels are actually actively developed for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and monitoring of the treatment of diseases. The optical activities of nanoprobes can be tuned on demand by chemists by engineering their composition, size and surface nature. This review will focus on researches devoted to the conception of nanoprobes with particular optical properties, called persistent luminescence, and their use as new powerful bioimaging agents in preclinical assays.

Abstract
For the widely used "off-on" fluorescence (or phosphorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET or PRET) system, the separation of donors and acceptors species was vital for enhancing the sensitivity. To date, separation of free donors from FRET/PRET inhibition systems was somewhat not convenient, whereas separation of the target-induced far-between acceptors has hardly been reported yet. We presented here a novel magnetic separation-assistant fluorescence resonance energy transfer (MS-FRET) inhibition strategy for highly sensitive detection of nucleolin using Cy5.5-AS1411 as the donor and Fe3O4-polypyrrole core-shell (Fe3O4@PPY) nanoparticles as the NIR quenching acceptor. Due to hydrophobic interaction and π-π stacking of AS1411 and PPY, Cy5.5-AS1411 was bound onto the surface of Fe3O4@PPY, resulting in 90% of fluorescence quenching of Cy5.5-AS1411. Owing to the much stronger specific interaction of AS1411 and nucleolin, the presence of nucleolin could take Cy5.5-AS1411 apart from Fe3O4@PPY and restore the fluorescence of Cy5.5-AS1411. The superparamagnetism of Fe3O4@PPY enabled all separations and fluorescence measurements complete in the same quartz cell, and thus allowed the convenient but accurate comparison of the sensitivity and fluorescence recovery in the cases of separation or nonseparation. Compared to nonseparation FRET inhibition, the separation of free Cy5.5-AS1411 from Cy5.5-AS1411-Fe3O4@PPY solution (the first magnetic separation, MS-1) had as high as 25-fold enhancement of the sensitivity, whereas further separation of the nucleolin-inducing far-between Fe3O4@PPY from the FRET inhibition solution (the second magnetic separation, MS-2) could further enhance the sensitivity to 35-fold. Finally, the MS-FRET inhibition assay displayed the linear range of 0.625-27.5 μg L(-1) (8.1-359 pM) and detection limit of 0.04 μg L(-1) (0.05 pM) of nucleolin. The fluorescence intensity recovery (the percentage ratio of the final restoring fluorescence intensity to the quenched fluorescence intensity of Cy5.5-AS1411 solution by 0.09 g L(-1) Fe3O4@PPY) was enhanced from 36% (for nonseparation) to 56% (for two magnetic separations). This is the first accurate evaluation for the effect of separating donor/acceptor species on the FRET inhibition assay.
