Abstract
Current biomedical imaging techniques are crucial for the diagnosis of various diseases. Each imaging technique uses specific probes that, although each one has its own merits, do not encompass all the functionalities required for comprehensive imaging (sensitivity, non-invasiveness, etc.). Bimodal imaging methods are therefore rapidly becoming an important topic in advanced healthcare. This bimodality can be achieved by successive image acquisitions involving different and independent probes, one for each mode, with the risk of artifacts. It can be also achieved simultaneously by using a single probe combining a complete set of physical and chemical characteristics, in order to record complementary views of the same biological object at the same time. In this scenario, and focusing on bimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging (OI), probes can be engineered by the attachment, more or less covalently, of a contrast agent (CA) to an organic or inorganic dye, or by designing single objects containing both the optical emitter and MRI-active dipole. If in the first type of system, there is frequent concern that at some point the dye may dissociate from the magnetic dipole, it may not in the second type. This review aims to present a summary of current activity relating to this kind of dual probes, with a special emphasis on lanthanide-based luminescent nano-objects.

Abstract
Recently, multimodal imaging nanoprobes based on the complementary advantages of various imaging methods have attracted considerable attention due to their potential application in the biomedical field. As important bioimaging nanoprobes, lanthanide-doped nanocrystals (NCs) would be expected to improve the related biophotonic technology through integrated multimodal bioimaging. Herein, water-soluble and biocompatible NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs were prepared by a solvothermal method combined with hydrophobic interaction with phospholipids as a capping agent. The NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs exhibit excellent colloidal stability under physiological conditions. Compared with the bare NaYF4:Nd3+ NCs, the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence intensities of Nd3+ ions in the NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 core-shell NCs at the emissions of 1058 nm and 1332 nm are enhanced by 3.46- and 1.75-fold, respectively. Moreover, the r 2 value of NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs as T 2-weighted contrast agents is calculated to be 44.0 mM-1 s-1. As a novel multimodal imaging nanoprobe, the NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs can be employed for both NIR-II fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The phospholipid-modified NaYF4:Nd/NaDyF4 NCs demonstrate in vitro and in vivo multimodal NIR-II fluorescence imaging and MRI of HeLa cells and tumors, respectively. This study provides an effective strategy for the development of novel multimodal probes for the medical application of nanomaterials.

Abstract
We studied the dissolution behavior of β NaYF4:Yb(20%), Er(2%) UCNP of two different sizes in biologically relevant media i.e., water (neutral pH), phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) at different temperatures and particle concentrations. Special emphasis was dedicated to assess the influence of different surface functionalizations, particularly the potential of mesoporous and microporous silica shells of different thicknesses for UCNP stabilization and protection. Dissolution was quantified electrochemically using a fluoride ion selective electrode (ISE) and by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). In addition, dissolution was monitored fluorometrically. These experiments revealed that a thick microporous silica shell drastically decreased dissolution. Our results also underline the critical influence of the chemical composition of the aqueous environment on UCNP dissolution. In DMEM, we observed the formation of a layer of adsorbed molecules on the UCNP surface that protected the UCNP from dissolution and enhanced their fluorescence. Examination of this layer by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and mass spectrometry (MS) suggested that mainly phenylalanine, lysine, and glucose are adsorbed from DMEM. These findings should be considered in the future for cellular toxicity studies with UCNP and other nanoparticles and the design of new biocompatible surface coatings.

Abstract
Red luminescent and superparamagnetic β-NaY0.8Eu0.2F4@γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, made of a 70 nm-sized β-NaY0.8Eu0.2F4 single crystal core decorated by a 10 nm-thick polycrystalline and discontinuous γ-Fe2O3 shell, have been synthesized by the polyol process. Functionalized with citrate ligands they show a good colloidal stability in water making them valuable for dual magnetic resonance and optical imaging or image-guided therapy. They exhibit a relatively high transverse relaxivity r2 = 42.3 mM-1·s-1 in water at 37 °C, for an applied static magnetic field of 1.41 T, close to the field of 1.5 T applied in clinics, as they exhibit a red emission by two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy. Finally, when brought into contact with healthy human foreskin fibroblast cells (BJH), for doses as high as 50 µg·mL-1 and incubation time as long as 72 h, they do not show evidence of any accurate cytotoxicity, highlighting their biomedical applicative potential.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a key enzyme that has long been considered as a biomarker for melanoma as it catalyzes the oxidation of tyrosine and l-DOPA in melanogenesis. Recent studies also suggest a link between tyrosinase activity and Parkinson's disease; however, the mechanism of tyrosinase-mediated melanin formation in the brain is poorly understood. To better understand this connection, more advanced tools for the detection of tyrosinase in the brain are required. Herein, we successfully designed and synthesized a tyrosinase-targeting Gd(iii)-based MR contrast agent Tyr-GBCA 1. Tyr-GBCA 1 was synthesized by linking m-hydroxyphenyl to Gd-DOTA via a self-immolative linker. Tyr-GBCA 1 shows a 21% increase in the T1 relaxation rate (R1) in the presence of tyrosinase in artificial cerebral spinal fluid. Furthermore, Tyr-GBCA 1 is unreactive to hydrogen peroxide, which is a potential interferent in oxidation-based tyrosinase sensing systems. The reaction mechanism of the probe was studied by electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry and supports the cleavage of a reaction site.

Abstract
Mixed micelles based on amphiphilic gadolinium(III)-DOTA and europium(III)-DTPA complexes were synthesized and evaluated for their paramagnetic and optical properties as potential bimodal contrast agents. Amphiphilic folate molecule for targeting the folate receptor protein, which is commonly expressed on the surface of many human cancer cells, was used in the self-assembly process in order to create nanoaggregates with targeting properties. Both targeted and nontargeted nanoaggregates formed monodisperse micelles having distribution maxima of 10 nm. The micelles show characteristic europium(III) emission with quantum yields of 2% and 1.1% for the nontargeted and targeted micelles, respectively. Fluorescence microscopy using excitation at 405 nm and emission at 575-675 nm was employed to visualize the nanoaggregates in cultured HeLa cells. The uptake of folate-targeted and nontargeted micelles is already visible after 5 h of incubation and was characterized with the europium(III) emission, which is clearly observable in the cytoplasm of the cells. The very fast longitudinal relaxivity r1 of ca. 26 s-1 mM-1 per gadolinium(III) ion was observed for both micelles at 60 MHz and 310 K. Upon increasing the magnetic field to 300 MHz, the nanoaggregates exhibited a large switching to transversal relaxivity with r2 value of ca. 52 s-1 mM-1 at 310 K. Theoretical fitting of the 1H NMRD profiles indicate that the efficient T1 and T2 relaxations are sustained by the favorable magnetic and electron-configuration properties of the gadolinium(III) ion, rotational correlation time, and coordinated water molecule. These nanoaggregates could have versatile application as a positive contrast agent at the currently used magnetic imaging field strengths and a negative contrast agent in higher field applications, while at the same time offering the possibility for the loading of hydrophobic therapeutics or targeting molecules.

Abstract
Utilization of the total solar spectrum efficiently for photocatalysis has remained a huge challenge for a long time. However, designing a system by rationally combining nanocomponents with complementary properties, such as upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductors, plasmonic metals, and carbonaceous support, offers a promising route for efficient utilization of solar energy by harnessing the broadband spectrum. In this work, a series of novel quaternary plasmonic photocatalysts comprising of lanthanide-doped NaYF4@CdS (UC) core-shell nanostructures decorated with Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets were prepared using the multistep hydrothermal method. The different components of the prepared nanocomposites could be efficiently employed to utilize both the visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions. Specifically in this work, the utility of these quaternary nanocomposites for photocatalytic degradation of a colorless pharmaceutical pollutant, ciprofloxacin, under visible and NIR light irradiations has been demonstrated. In comparison to bare counterparts, our quaternary nanocomposites exhibit an enhanced photocatalytic activity attributable to the synergistic effect of different components arranged in such a way that favors harnessing energy from the broad spectral region and efficient charge separation. The combination of upconversion and plasmonic properties along with the advantages of a carbonaceous support can provide new physical insights for further development of photocatalysts, which could utilize the broadband spectrum.

Abstract
A new macromolecular biocompatible gadolinium chelate complex (PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd) as a liver-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent was synthesised and evaluated. An aspartic acid–isoleucine copolymer was chemically linked with Gd-DOTA via ethylenediamine to give PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd. In vitro, the T1-relaxivity of PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd (14.38 mmol–1⋅L⋅s–1, 0.5 T) was much higher than that of the clinically used Gd-DOTA (4.96 mmol–1⋅L⋅s–1, 0.5 T), with obvious imaging signal enhancement. In the imaging experiments in vivo, PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd exhibited good liver selectivity, and had a greater intensity enhancement (68.8 ± 5.6 %) and a longer imaging window time (30–70 min), compared to Gd-DOTA (21.1 ± 5.3 %, 10–30 min). Furthermore, the in vivo histological studies of PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd showed a low acute toxicity and desirable biocompatibility. The results of this study indicate that PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd is a feasible liver-specific contrast agent for MRI.

Abstract
Cancer-targeted nanotechnology is experiencing the trend of finding new materials with multiple functions for imaging and therapeutic applications. With the rapid development of the related fields, there exists a large number of reports regarding theranostic nanomedicine, decreasing the gap between cancer diagnosis and treatment with minimized separate comprehensions. In order to present an overview on the cancer-targeted nanotheranostics, we first describe their essential building blocks, including platforms, therapeutic agents and imaging agents, and then the recently rapidly developed multimodal theranostic systems. Finally we discuss the major challenges and the perspectives of future development of nanotheranostics toward clinical translations and personalized nanomedicine.

Abstract
Gadolinium-based contrast agents are extensively used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents due to their outstanding signal enhancement and ease of chemical modification. However, it is increasingly recognized that information obtained from single modal molecular imaging cannot satisfy the higher requirements on the efficiency and accuracy for clinical diagnosis and medical research, due to its limitation and default rooted in single molecular imaging technique itself. To compensate for the deficiencies of single function magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, the combination of multi-modality imaging has turned to be the research hotpot in recent years. This review presents an overview on the recent developments of the functionalization of gadolinium-based contrast agents, and their application in biomedicine applications.
