Abstract
Due to their electron coupling capability, organic luminescent materials exhibit powerful optoelectronic features that are responsible for their light-harvesting and light-amplification properties. The extensive modification of conjugated systems has shown significant improvement in their photonic properties thus broadening their applicability in photo-mediated imaging and photo-based treatment. Organic luminogens with emission in the near-infrared second region are found attractive not only for their deeper penetrating power but also for accurate visual imaging superiority with higher temporal resolution and spatial resolution suitable for tumor precision treatment. In this review, we underscore the latest development in organic luminogens (conjugated polymers and small molecules), focusing on chemical design, molecular engineering, and their applications in the scope of bioimaging followed by photo-assisted treatment, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and immunotherapy ablation. Organic luminogens integrated with an aggregation-induced emission feature significantly optimize their physicochemical properties to act as quintessential nanoplatforms for controllable image-guided therapy. In conclusion, we clarify the limitations and challenges and provide insights into how to design organic dyes with improved safety for potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Brain is by far the most complex organ in the body. It is involved in the regulation of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional activities. The organ is also a target for many diseases and disorders ranging from injuries to cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. Brain diseases are the main causes of disability and one of the leading causes of deaths. Several drugs that have shown potential in improving brain structure and functioning in animal models face many challenges including the delivery, specificity, and toxicity. For many years, researchers have been facing challenge of developing drugs that can cross the physical (blood–brain barrier), electrical, and chemical barriers of the brain and target the desired region with few adverse events. In recent years, nanotechnology emerged as an important technique for modifying and manipulating different objects at the molecular level to obtain desired features. The technique has proven to be useful in diagnosis as well as treatments of brain diseases and disorders by facilitating the delivery of drugs and improving their efficacy. As the subject is still hot, and new research findings are emerging, it is clear that nanotechnology could upgrade health care systems by providing easy and highly efficient diagnostic and treatment methods. In this review, we will focus on the application of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases and disorders by illuminating the potential of nanoparticles.

Abstract
The development of radiation responsive materials, such as nanoscintillators, enables a variety of exciting new theranostic applications. In particular, the ability of nanophosphors to serve as molecular imaging agents in novel modalities, such as X-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT), has gained significant interest recently. Here, we present a radioluminescent nanoplatform consisting of Tb-doped nanophosphors with an unique core/shell/shell (CSS) architecture for improved optical emission under X-ray excitation. Owing to the spatial confinement and separation of luminescent activators, these CSS nanophosphors exhibited bright optical luminescence upon irradiation. In addition to standard physiochemical characterization, these CSS nanophosphors were evaluated for their ability to serve as energy mediators in X-ray stimulated photodynamic therapy, also known as radiodynamic therapy (RDT), through attachment of a photosensitizer, rose bengal (RB). Furthermore, cRGD peptide was used as a model targeting agent against U87 MG glioblastoma cells. In vitro RDT efficacy studies suggested the RGD-CSS-RB in combination with X-ray irradiation could induce enhanced DNA damage and increased cell killing, while the nanoparticles alone are well tolerated. These studies support the utility of CSS nanophosphors and warrants their further development for theranostic applications.
