Abstract
Intracellular calcium ion detection is of great significance for understanding the cell metabolism and signaling pathways. Most of the current ionic sensors either face the size issue or sensitivity limit for the intracellular solution with high background ion concentrations. In this paper, we proposed a calmodulin (CaM) functionalized nanopore for sensitive and selective Ca2+ detection inside living cells. A salt gradient was created when the nanopore sensor filled with a low concentration electrolyte was in contact with a high background concentration solution, which enhanced the surface charge-based detection sensitivity. The nanopore sensor showed a 10 × sensitivity enhancement by application of a 100-fold salt gradient, and a detection limit of sub nM. The sensor had a wide detection range from 1 nM to 1 mM, and allowed for quick calcium ion quantification in a few seconds. The sensor was demonstrated for intracellular Ca2+ detection in A549 cells in response to ionomycin.

Abstract
Luminescence thermometry is a non-contact method that can measure surface temperatures and the temperature of the area where the fluorescent probe is located, allowing temperature distribution visualizations with a camera. Ratiometric fluorescence thermometry, which uses the intensity ratio of fluorescence peaks at two wavelengths with different fluorescence intensity dependencies, is an excellent method for visualizing temperature distributions independent of the fluorophore spatial concentration, excitation light intensity and absolute fluorescence intensity. Herein, Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+-doped Y2O3 nanomaterials with a diameter of 200 nm were prepared as phosphors for temperature distribution measurement of fluids at different temperatures. The advantages of this designed fluorescent material include non-aggregation in water and the fact that its near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence excitation (808 nm) is not absorbed by water, thereby minimizing sample heating upon irradiation. Under optical excitation at 808 nm, the ratio of the fluorescence intensities of Yb3+ (IYb; 975 nm) and Er3+ (IEr; 1550 nm), which exhibited different temperature responses, indicated the temperature distribution inside the fluid device. Thus, this technique using Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+-doped Y2O3 is expected to be applied for temperature distribution mapping analysis inside fluidic devices as a ratiometric NIR fluorescence thermometer, which is unaffected by laser-induced heating.

Abstract
Cellular temperature affects every biochemical reaction, underscoring its critical role in cellular functions. In neurons, temperature not only modulates neurotransmission but is also a key determinant of neurodegenerative diseases. Considering that the brain consumes a disproportionately high amount of energy relative to its weight, neural circuits likely generate a lot of heat, which can increase cytosolic temperature. However, the changes in temperature within neurons and the mechanisms of heat generation during neural excitation remain unclear. In this study, we achieved simultaneous imaging of Ca2+ and temperature using the genetically encoded indicators, B-GECO and B-gTEMP. We then compared the spatiotemporal distributions of Ca2+ responses and temperature. Following neural excitation induced by veratridine, an activator of the voltage-gated Na+ channel, we observed an approximately 2 °C increase in cytosolic temperature occurring 30 s after the Ca2+ response. The temperature elevation was observed in the non-nuclear region, while Ca2+ increased throughout the cell body. Moreover, this temperature increase was suppressed under Ca2+-free conditions and by inhibitors of ATP synthesis. These results indicate that Ca2+-induced upregulation of energy metabolism serves as the heat source during neural excitation.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic, and luminescence measurements of a novel family of luminescent cage-like tetranuclear silsesquioxanes (PhSiO1.5)8(LnO1.5)4(O)(C5H8O2)6(EtOH)2(CH3CN)2⋅2CH3CN (where Ln = Tb, 1; Tb/Eu, 2; and Gd, 3), featuring seven-coordinated lanthanide ions arranged in a one-capped trigonal prism geometry. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit characteristic Tb3+ and Tb3+/Eu3+-related emissions, respectively, sensitized by the chelating antenna acetylacetonate (acac) ligands upon excitation in the UV and visible spectral regions. Compound 3 is used to assess the energies of the triplet states of the acac ligand. For compound 1, theoretical calculations on the intramolecular energy transfer and multiphonon rates indicate a thermal balance between the 5D4 Stark components, while the mixed Tb3+/Eu3+ analog 2, with a Tb:Eu ratio of 3:1, showcases intra-cluster Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer, calculated theoretically as a function of temperature. By utilizing the intensity ratio between the 5D4→7F5 (Tb3+) and 5D0→7F2 (Eu3+) transitions in the range 11-373 K, we demonstrate the realization of a ratiometric luminescent thermometer with compound 2, operating in the range 11-373 K with a maximum relative sensitivity of 2.0% K-1 at 373 K. These findings highlight the potential of cage-like silsesquioxanes as versatile materials for optical sensing-enabled applications.

Abstract
Luminescent nanoparticles have shown great potential for thermal sensing in bio-applications. Nonetheless, these materials lack water dispersibility that can be overcome by modifying their surface properties with water dispersible molecules such as cysteine. Herein, we employ LiYF4:Er3+/Yb3+ upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) capped with oleate or modified with cysteine dispersed in cyclohexane or in water, respectively, as thermal probes. Upconversion emission was used to sense temperature with a relative thermal sensitivity of ∼1.24% K-1 (at 300 K) and a temperature uncertainty of 0.8 K for the oleate capped and of 0.5 K for cysteine modified NPs. To study the effect of the cysteine modification in the heat transfer processes, the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids was determined, yielding 0.123(6) W m-1 K-1 for the oleate capped UCNPs dispersed in cyclohexane and 0.50(7) W m-1 K-1 for the cysteine modified UCNPs dispersed in water. Moreover, through the heating curves, the nanofluids' thermal resistances were estimated, showing that the cysteine modification partially prevents heat transfer.

Abstract
Temperature is a crucial regulator of the rate and direction of biochemical reactions and cell processes. The recent data indicating the presence of local thermal gradients associated with the sites of high-rate thermogenesis, on the one hand, demonstrate the possibility for the existence of "thermal signaling" in a cell and, on the other, are criticized on the basis of thermodynamic calculations and models. Here, we review the main thermometric techniques and sensors developed for the determination of temperature inside living cells and diverse intracellular compartments. A comparative analysis is conducted of the results obtained using these methods for the cytosol, nucleus, endo-/sarcoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, as well as their biological consistency. Special attention is given to the limitations, possible sources of errors and ambiguities of the sensor's responses. The issue of biological temperature limits in cells and organelles is considered. It is concluded that the elaboration of experimental protocols for ultralocal temperature measurements that take into account both the characteristics of biological systems, as well as the properties and limitations of each type of sensor is of critical importance for the generation of reliable results and further progress in this field.

Abstract
Despite the great effort made in recent years on lanthanide-based ratiometric luminescent nanothermometers able to provide temperature measurements in water, their design remains challenging. We report on the synthesis and properties of efficient ratiometric nanothermometers that are based on mesoporous stellate nanoparticles (MSN) of ca. 90 nm functionalized with an acetylacetonate (acac) derivative inside the pores and loaded with β-diketonate-Tb3+/Eu3+ complexes able to work in water, in PBS or in cells. Encapsulating a [(Tb/Eu)9(acac)16(μ3-OH)8(μ4-O)(μ4-OH)] complex (Tb/Eu ratio = 19/1 and 9/1) led to hybrid multifunctionalized nanoparticles exhibiting a Tb3+ and Eu3+ characteristic temperature-dependent luminescence with a high rate Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer. According to theoretical calculations, the modifications of photoluminescence properties and the increase in the pairwise Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer rate by about 10 times can be rationalized as a change of the coordination number of the Ln3+ sites of the complex from 7 to 8 accompanied by a symmetry evolution from Cs to C4v and a slight shortening of intramolecular Ln3+-Ln3+ distances upon the effect of encapsulation. These nanothermometers operate in the 20-70 °C range with excellent photothermal stability, cyclability and repeatability (>95%), displaying a maximum relative thermal sensitivity of 1.4% °C-1 (at 42.7 °C) in water. Furthermore, they can operate in cells with a thermal sensitivity of 8.6% °C-1 (at 40 °C), keeping in mind that adjusting the calibration for each system is necessary to ensure accurate measurements.

Abstract
A number of biochemical reactions proceed inside biomembranes. Since the rate of a chemical reaction is influenced by chemical properties of the surrounding environment, it is important to examine the chemical environment inside the biomembranes. Although the energy transfer characteristics are a basic and important property of a reaction medium, experimental investigation of the thermal conducting capabilities of the biomembranes is a challenging task. We have examined the energy transfer characteristics of lipid bilayer membranes of liposomes, a good model system for the biomembrane, with picosecond time-resolved Raman spectroscopy. The cooling kinetics of the first excited singlet (S1) state of trans-stilbene solubilized within the lipid bilayer membranes is observed as a peak shift of the 1570 cm-1 Raman band of S1 trans-stilbene. The cooling rate constant of S1 trans-stilbene is obtained in six lipid bilayer membranes formed by phospholipids with different hydrocarbon chains, DSPC, DPPC, DMPC, DLPC, DOPC, and egg-PC. We estimate the thermal diffusivity of the lipid bilayer membranes with a known correlation between the cooling rate constant and the thermal diffusivity of the solvent. The thermal diffusivity estimated for the liquid-crystal-phase lipid bilayer membranes is 8.9 × 10-8 to 9.4 × 10-8 m2 s-1, while that for the gel-phase lipid bilayer membranes is 8.4 × 10-8 to 8.5 × 10-8 m2 s-1. The difference in thermal diffusivity between the two phases is explained by a one-dimensional diffusion equation of heat.

Abstract
Specific metabolic aberrations of cancer cells rapidly generate energy with a minuscule but detectable temperature variation, which is a typical characteristic providing insight into cancer pathogenesis. However, to date, intracellular temperature mapping of cancer cell metabolism with high temporal and spatial resolution has not been realized. In this study, we mapped and monitored in real-time the intracellular temperature variations of mitochondria and cytoplasm at a subcellular scale via a single-molecule coherent modulation microscopy coupling targeted molecule labeling technique. According to the variation of the decoherence processes of targeted molecules as a function of intracellular temperature, we achieved a high temperature resolution (<0.1 K) and proved that this technique could eliminate interference from fluorescence intensity disturbance and external pH change. Furthermore, we showed a positive correlation between the determined temperature and the adenosine triphosphate production rate of mitochondrial metabolism in combination with a cell energy metabolic analyzer. This technology enables accurate real-time temporal and spatial visualization of cancer metabolism and establishes diagnoses and therapies for cancer.

Abstract
Over recent years, nano-engineered materials have become an important component of artificial extracellular matrices. On one hand, these materials enable static enhancement of the bulk properties of cell scaffolds, for instance, they can alter mechanical properties or electrical conductivity, in order to better mimic the in vivo cell environment. Yet, many nanomaterials also exhibit dynamic, remotely tunable optical, electrical, magnetic, or acoustic properties, and therefore, can be used to non-invasively deliver localized, dynamic stimuli to cells cultured in artificial ECMs in three dimensions. Vice versa, the same, functional nanomaterials, can also report changing environmental conditions-whether or not, as a result of a dynamically applied stimulus-and as such provide means for wireless, long-term monitoring of the cell status inside the culture. In this review article, we present an overview of the technological advances regarding the incorporation of functional nanomaterials in artificial extracellular matrices, highlighting both passive and dynamically tunable nano-engineered components.

Abstract
Type 1 ryanodine receptor (RYR1) is a Ca2+ release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of the skeletal muscle and plays a critical role in excitation-contraction coupling. Mutations in RYR1 cause severe muscle diseases, such as malignant hyperthermia, a disorder of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) through RYR1 from the SR. We recently reported that volatile anesthetics induce malignant hyperthermia (MH)-like episodes through enhanced CICR in heterozygous R2509C-RYR1 mice. However, the characterization of Ca2+ dynamics has yet to be investigated in skeletal muscle cells from homozygous mice because these animals die in utero. In the present study, we generated primary cultured skeletal myocytes from R2509C-RYR1 mice. No differences in cellular morphology were detected between wild type (WT) and mutant myocytes. Spontaneous Ca2+ transients and cellular contractions occurred in WT and heterozygous myocytes, but not in homozygous myocytes. Electron microscopic observation revealed that the sarcomere length was shortened to ∼1.7 µm in homozygous myocytes, as compared to ∼2.2 and ∼2.3 µm in WT and heterozygous myocytes, respectively. Consistently, the resting intracellular Ca2+ concentration was higher in homozygous myocytes than in WT or heterozygous myocytes, which may be coupled with a reduced Ca2+ concentration in the SR. Finally, using infrared laser-based microheating, we found that heterozygous myocytes showed larger heat-induced Ca2+ transients than WT myocytes. Our findings suggest that the R2509C mutation in RYR1 causes dysfunctional Ca2+ dynamics in a mutant-gene dose-dependent manner in the skeletal muscles, in turn provoking MH-like episodes and embryonic lethality in heterozygous and homozygous mice, respectively.

Abstract
Despite improved sensitivity of nanothermometers, direct observation of heat transport inside single cells has remained challenging for the lack of high-speed temperature imaging techniques. Here, we identified insufficient temperature resolution under short signal integration time and slow sensor kinetics as two major bottlenecks. To overcome the limitations, we developed B-gTEMP, a nanothermometer based on the tandem fusion of mNeonGreen and tdTomato fluorescent proteins. We visualized the propagation of heat inside intracellular space by tracking the temporal variation of local temperature at a time resolution of 155 μs and a temperature resolution 0.042 °C. By comparing the fast in situ temperature dynamics with computer-simulated heat diffusion, we estimated the thermal diffusivity of live HeLa cells. The present thermal diffusivity in cells was about 1/5.3 of that of water and much smaller than the values reported for bulk tissues, which may account for observations of heterogeneous intracellular temperature distributions.

Abstract
Temperature is a significant factor in determining and characterizing cellular metabolism and other biochemical activities. In this study, we provide a brief overview of two important technologies used to monitor the local temperatures of individual living cells: fluorescence nano-thermometry and an array of micro-/nano-sized thin-film thermocouples. We explain some key technical issues that must be addressed and optimised for further practical applications, such as in cell biology, drug selection, and novel antitumor therapy. We also offer a method for combining them into a hybrid measuring system.

Abstract
Raman thermometry based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering has been developed using nanopipettes in cancer cell photothermal therapy (PTT). Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are robustly epoxied on glass pipettes with a high surface coverage of ∼95% and less than 10 nm-wide nanogaps for intracellular thermometry and photothermal cancer therapy. The temperature changes could be estimated from the N≡C band shifts of 4-fluorophenyl isocyanide (FPNC)-adsorbed AuNRs on the Raman thermometry nanopipette (RTN) surfaces. An intracellular temperature change of ∼2.7 °C produced by altering the [Ca2+] in A431 cells was detected using the RTN in vitro, as checked from fura-2 acetoxymethyl ester (fura-2 AM) fluorescence images. For in vivo experiments, local temperature rises of ∼19.2 °C were observed in the mouse skin, whereas infrared camera images could not tract due to spatial resolution. In addition, a tumor growth suppression was observed in the PTT processes after an administration of the three AuNR-coated nanopipettes combined with a 671 nm laser irradiation for 5 min in 30 days. These results demonstrate not only the localized temperature sensing ability of FPNC-tagged AuNR nanopipettes in cell biology but also anti-cancer effects in photothermal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cellular temperature and pH govern many cellular physiologies, especially of cancer cells. Besides, attaining higher cellular temperature plays key role in therapeutic efficacy of hyperthermia treatment of cancer. This requires bio-compatible, non-toxic and sensitive probe with dual sensing ability to detect temperature and pH variations. In this regard, fluorescence based nano-sensors for cancer studies play an important role. Therefore, a facile green synthesis of orange carbon nano-dots (CND) with high quantum yield of 90% was achieved and its application as dual nano-sensor for imaging intracellular temperature and pH was explored. CND was synthesized from readily available, bio-compatible citric acid and rhodamine 6G hydrazide using solvent-free and simple heating technique requiring purification by dialysis. Although the particle size of 19 nm (which is quite large for CND) was observed yet CND exhibits no surface defects leading to decrease in photoluminescence (PL). On the contrary, very high fluorescence was observed along with good photo-stability. Temperature and pH dependent fluorescence studies show linearity in fluorescence intensity which was replicated in breast cancer cells. In addition, molecular nature of PL of CND was established using pH dependent fluorescence study. Together, the current investigation showed synthesis of highly fluorescent orange CND, which acts as a sensitive bio-imaging probe: an optical nano-thermal or nano-pH sensor for cancer-related studies.

Abstract
Monitoring the thermal responses of individual cells to external stimuli is essential for studies of cell metabolism, organelle function, and drug screening. Fluorescent temperature probes are usually employed to measure the temperatures of individual cells; however, they have some unavoidable problems, such as, poor stability caused by their sensitivity to the chemical composition of the solution and the limitation in their measurement time due to the short fluorescence lifetime. Here, we demonstrate a stable, non-interventional, and high-precision temperature-measurement chip that can monitor the temperature fluctuations of individual cells subject to external stimuli and over a normal cell life cycle as long as several days. To improve the temperature resolution, we designed temperature sensors made of Pd-Cr thin-film thermocouples, a freestanding Si3N4 platform, and a dual-temperature control system. Our experimental results confirm the feasibility of using this cellular temperature-measurement chip to detect local temperature fluctuations of individual cells that are 0.3-1.5 K higher than the ambient temperature for HeLa cells in different proliferation cycles. In the future, we plan to integrate this chip with other single-cell technologies and apply it to research related to cellular heat-stress response.

Abstract
Exposure of cells or biological tissues to high-power pulses of terahertz (THz) radiation leads to changes in a variety of intracellular processes. However, the role of heating effects due to strong absorption of THz radiation by water molecules still stays unclear. In this study, we performed numerical modelling in order to estimate the thermal impact on water of a single THz pulse as well as a series of THz pulses. A finite-element (FE) model that provides numerical solutions for the heat conduction equation is employed to compute the temperature increase. A simple expression for temperature estimation in the center of the spot of THz radiation is presented for given frequency and fluence of the THz pulse. It has been demonstrated that thermal effect is determined by either the average power of radiation or by the fluence of a single THz pulse depending on pulse repetition rate. Human dermal fibroblasts have been exposed to THz pulses (with an energy of [Formula: see text] and repetition rate of 100 Hz) to estimate the thermal effect. Analysis of heat shock proteins expression has demonstrated no statistically significant difference ([Formula: see text]) between control and experimental groups after 3 h of irradiation.

Abstract
Diamond quantum thermometry exploits the optical and electrical spin properties of colour defect centres in diamonds and, acts as a quantum sensing method exhibiting ultrahigh precision and robustness. Compared to the existing luminescent nanothermometry techniques, a diamond quantum thermometer can be operated over a wide temperature range and a sensor spatial scale ranging from nanometres to micrometres. Further, diamond quantum thermometry is employed in several applications, including electronics and biology, to explore these fields with nanoscale temperature measurements. This review covers the operational principles of diamond quantum thermometry for spin-based and all-optical methods, material development of diamonds with a focus on thermometry, and examples of applications in electrical and biological systems with demand-based technological requirements.

Abstract
Genetically encoded temperature indicators (GETIs) allow for real-time measurement of subcellular temperature dynamics in live cells. However, GETIs have suffered from poor temperature sensitivity, which may not be sufficient to resolve small heat production from a biological process. Here, we develop a highly-sensitive GETI, denoted as ELP-TEMP, comprised of a temperature-responsive elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) fused with a cyan fluorescent protein (FP), mTurquoise2 (mT), and a yellow FP, mVenus (mV), as the donor and acceptor, respectively, of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). At elevated temperatures, the ELP moiety in ELP-TEMP undergoes a phase transition leading to an increase in the FRET efficiency. In HeLa cells, ELP-TEMP responded to the temperature from 33 to 40 °C with a maximum temperature sensitivity of 45.1 ± 8.1%/°C, which was the highest ever temperature sensitivity among hitherto-developed fluorescent nanothermometers. Although ELP-TEMP showed sensitivity not only to temperature but also to macromolecular crowding and self-concentration, we were able to correct the output of ELP-TEMP to achieve accurate temperature measurements at a subcellular resolution. We successfully applied ELP-TEMP to accurately measure temperature changes in cells induced by a local heat spot, even if the temperature difference was as small as < 1 °C, and to visualize heat production from stimulated Ca2+ influx in live HeLa cells induced by a chemical stimulation. Furthermore, we investigated temperatures in the nucleus and cytoplasm of live HeLa cells and found that their temperatures were almost the same within the temperature resolution of our measurement. Our study would contribute to better understanding of cellular temperature dynamics, and ELP-TEMP would be a useful GETI for the investigation of cell thermobiology.

Abstract
Temperature dynamics reflect the physiological conditions of cells and organisms. Mitochondria regulate the temperature dynamics in living cells as they oxidize the respiratory substrates and synthesize ATP, with heat being released as a byproduct of active metabolism. Here, we report an upconversion nanoparticle-based thermometer that allows the in situ thermal dynamics monitoring of mitochondria in living cells. We demonstrate that the upconversion nanothermometers can efficiently target mitochondria, and the temperature-responsive feature is independent of probe concentration and medium conditions. The relative sensing sensitivity of 3.2% K-1 in HeLa cells allows us to measure the mitochondrial temperature difference through the stimulations of high glucose, lipid, Ca2+ shock, and the inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation. Moreover, cells display distinct response time and thermodynamic profiles under different stimulations, which highlight the potential applications of this thermometer to study in situ vital processes related to mitochondrial metabolism pathways and interactions between organelles.

Abstract
Temperature is a fundamental physical parameter that influences biological processes in living cells. Hence, intracellular temperature mapping can be used to derive useful information reflective of thermodynamic properties and cellular behaviour. Herein, existing publications on different thermometry systems, focusing on those that employ fluorescence-based techniques, are reviewed. From developments based on fluorescent proteins and inorganic molecules to metal nanoclusters and fluorescent polymers, the general findings of intracellular measurements from different research groups are discussed. Furthermore, the contradiction of mitochondrial thermogenesis and nuclear-cytoplasmic temperature differences to current thermodynamic understanding are highlighted. Lastly, intracellular thermometry is proposed as a tool to quantify the energy flow and cost associated with amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) aggregation, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanodiamonds containing nitrogen-vacancy centers have attracted attention as nanoprobes for temperature measurements in microenvironments, potentially enabling the measurement of intracellular temperature distributions and temporal changes. However, to date, the time resolution and accuracy of the temperature determinations using fluorescent nanodiamonds have been insufficient for wide-field fluorescence imaging. Here, we describe a method for highly accurate wide-field temperature imaging using fluorescent nanodiamonds for optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) measurements. We performed a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the optimal frequency sweep range for ODMR temperature determination. We then applied this sweep range to fluorescent nanodiamonds. As a result, the temperature determination accuracies were improved by a factor ~1.5. Our result paves the way for the contribution of quantum sensors to cell biology for understanding, for example, differentiation in multicellular systems.

Abstract
Measurement of thermogenesis in individual cells is a remarkable challenge due to the complexity of the biochemical environment (such as pH and ionic strength) and to the rapid and yet not well-understood heat transfer mechanisms throughout the cell. Here, we present a unique system for intracellular temperature mapping in a fluorescence microscope (uncertainty of 0.2 K) using rationally designed luminescent Ln3+-bearing polymeric micellar probes (Ln = Sm, Eu) incubated in breast cancer MDA-MB468 cells. Two-dimensional (2D) thermal images recorded increasing the temperature of the cells culture medium between 296 and 304 K shows inhomogeneous intracellular temperature progressions up to ∼20 degrees and subcellular gradients of ∼5 degrees between the nucleolus and the rest of the cell, illustrating the thermogenic activity of the different organelles and highlighting the potential of this tool to study intracellular processes.

Abstract
Recent studies using intracellular thermometers have shown that the temperature inside cultured single cells varies heterogeneously on the order of 1°C. However, the reliability of intracellular thermometry has been challenged both experimentally and theoretically because it is, in principle, exceedingly difficult to exclude the effects of nonthermal factors on the thermometers. To accurately measure cellular temperatures from outside of cells, we developed novel thermometry with fluorescent thermometer nanosheets, allowing for noninvasive global temperature mapping of cultured single cells. Various types of cells, i.e., HeLa/HEK293 cells, brown adipocytes, cardiomyocytes, and neurons, were cultured on nanosheets containing the temperature-sensitive fluorescent dye europium (III) thenoyltrifluoroacetonate trihydrate. First, we found that the difference in temperature on the nanosheet between nonexcitable HeLa/HEK293 cells and the culture medium was less than 0.2°C. The expression of mutated type 1 ryanodine receptors (R164C or Y523S) in HEK293 cells that cause Ca2+ leak from the endoplasmic reticulum did not change the cellular temperature greater than 0.1°C. Yet intracellular thermometry detected an increase in temperature of greater than ∼2°C at the endoplasmic reticulum in HeLa cells upon ionomycin-induced intracellular Ca2+ burst; global cellular temperature remained nearly constant within ±0.2°C. When rat neonatal cardiomyocytes or brown adipocytes were stimulated by a mitochondrial uncoupling reagent, the temperature was nearly unchanged within ±0.1°C. In cardiomyocytes, the temperature was stable within ±0.01°C during contractions when electrically stimulated at 2 Hz. Similarly, when rat hippocampal neurons were electrically stimulated at 0.25 Hz, the temperature was stable within ±0.03°C. The present findings with nonexcitable and excitable cells demonstrate that heat produced upon activation in single cells does not uniformly increase cellular temperature on a global basis, but merely forms a local temperature gradient on the order of ∼1°C just proximal to a heat source, such as the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase.

Abstract
The bifunctional possibilities of Tm,Yb:GdVO4@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles for temperature sensing by using the near-infrared (NIR)-excited upconversion emissions in the first biological window, and biolabeling through the visible emissions they generate, were investigated. The two emission lines located at 700 and 800 nm, that arise from the thermally coupled 3F2,3 and 3H4 energy levels of Tm3+, were used to develop a luminescent thermometer, operating through the Fluorescence Intensity Ratio (FIR) technique, with a very high thermal relative sensitivity . Moreover, since the inert shell surrounding the luminescent active core allows for dispersal of the nanoparticles in water and biological compatible fluids, we investigated the penetration depth that can be realized in biological tissues with their emissions in the NIR range, achieving a value of 0.8 mm when excited at powers of 50 mW. After their internalization in HeLa cells, a low toxicity was observed and the potentiality for biolabelling in the visible range was demonstrated, which facilitated the identification of the location of the nanoparticles inside the cells, and the temperature determination.

Abstract
An unusual thermally sensitive anion-cation interaction, which is characteristic of the anion [Eu(FOD)4 ]- , occurs in the complex [CHOL][Eu(FOD)4 ] (1; CHOL=choline; FOD=1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-7,7-dimethyl-4,6-octanedionate) and affects both quantum yield and thermochromic behavior. This prompted the design of an Eu3+ -based ratiometric thermometer that functions at temperatures up to 95 °C through a thermally excited state absorption of the Eu3+ ion. The reusable temperature-sensitive luminescent complex showed a range of relative sensitivity between 0.45 % C-1 at 25 °C, with an increase to 7.0 % C-1 at 95 °C. Confinement of compound 1 in a transparent film of polysulfone resulted in a higher thermal stability of 1 while its luminescence showed a strong temperature dependence.

Abstract
This short review begins with a brief introductory summary of luminescence nanothermometry. Current applications of luminescence nanothermometry are introduced in biological contexts. Then, theoretical bases of the “temperature” that luminescence nanothermometry determines are discussed. This argument is followed by the 105 gap issue between simple calculation and the measurements reported in literatures. The gap issue is challenged by recent literatures reporting single-cell thermometry using non-luminescent probes, as well as a report that determines the thermal conductivity of a single lipid bilayer using luminescence nanothermometry. In the end, we argue if we can be optimistic about the solution of the 105 gap issue.

Abstract
Thermosensitive fluorescent dyes can convert thermal signals into optical signals as a molecular nanoprobe. These nanoprobes are playing an increasingly important part in optical temperature sensing and imaging at the nano- and microscale. However, the ability of a fluorescent dye itself has sensitivity and accuracy limitations. Here we present a molecular strategy based on self-assembly to overcome such limitations. We found that thermosensitive nanovesicles composed of lipids and a unique fluorescent dye exhibit fluorescence switching characteristics at a threshold temperature. The switch is rapid and reversible and has a high signal to background ratio (>60), and is also highly sensitive to temperature (10–22%/°C) around the threshold value. Furthermore, the threshold temperature at which fluorescence switching is induced, can be tuned according to the phase transition temperature of the lipid bilayer membrane forming the nanovesicles. Spectroscopic analysis indicated that the fluorescence switching is induced by the aggregation-caused quenching and disaggregation-induced emission of the fluorescent dye in a cooperative response to the thermotropic phase transition of the membrane. This mechanism presents a useful approach for chemical and material design to develop fluorescent nanomaterials with superior fluorescence sensitivity to thermal signals for optical temperature sensing and imaging at the nano- and microscales.

Abstract
The existing quantum dot temperature measurement techniques can only measure the planar temperature in the cell but fails in 3D temperature investigation. We present a novel method of measuring the 3D temperature field on nano scale, combining fluorescence spectral characteristics of the CdTe quantum dot probe with optical spatial positioning. Based on dual-helix point spread function, a 3D temperature optical measurement system with a resolution of 0.625 °C is established, providing a new perspective of 3D temperature measurement inside the cell. We thus offer an original research tool for further revealing the evolution process of secretions in cell metabolism.

Abstract
Highly sensitive non-invasive temperature sensing is critical for studying fundamental biological processes and applications in medical diagnostics. Nanoscale-based thermometers are promising non-invasive probes for precise temperature sensing with subcellular resolution. However, many of these systems have limitations as they rely on fluorescence intensity changes, deconvolution of peaks, or the use of hybrid systems to measure thermal events. To address this, we developed a fluorescence-based ratiometric temperature sensing approach using carbon dots prepared via microwave synthesis. These dots possess dual fluorescence signatures in the blue and red regions of the spectrum. We observed a linear response as a function of temperature in the range of 5-60 °C with a thermal resolution of 0.048 K-1 and thermal sensitivity of 1.97% C-1. Temperature-dependent fluorescence was also observed in HeLa cancer cells over a range of 32-42 °C by monitoring changes in the red-to-blue fluorescence signatures. We demonstrate that the ratiometric approach is superior to intensity-based thermal sensing because it is independent of the intracellular concentration of the optical probe. These findings suggest that dual-emitting carbon dots can be an effective tool for in vitro and possibly in vivo fluorescence nanothermometry.

Abstract
Yb3+/Er3+-codoped GdBiW2O9 phosphors are prepared via the solid-state route for application in upconversion temperature sensors. The structural analyses indicate that all phosphors possess a single-phased orthorhombic structure. Upon the excitation of a laser wavelength of 980 nm, Yb3+/Er3+-codoped GdBiW2O9 phosphors emanate green emission peaks, endorsed to the emission to the 4I15/2 state from the 4S3/2 and 2H11/2 states, respectively, and the weak emission (red) from the 4F9/2 state to the 4I15/2 state of Er3+ ion. The upconversion mechanism has been elucidated via the scheme of energy levels conferred from the pump power-induced upconversion characteristics. The temperature-dependent upconversion of GdBiW2O9 phosphors was investigated in detail along with the estimation of the stability and repeatability of the measurement. The obtained sensitivity data for the present materials with the corresponding sensing parameters show their probable outlook in temperature sensing applications.

Abstract
Laser heating of individual cells in culture recently led to seminal studies in cell poration, fusion, migration, or nanosurgery, although measuring the local temperature increase in such experiments remains a challenge. Here, the laser-induced dynamical control of the heat-shock response is demonstrated at the single cell level, enabled by the use of light-absorbing gold nanoparticles as nanosources of heat and a temperature mapping technique based on quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry (QLSI) measurements. As it is label-free, this approach does not suffer from artifacts inherent to previously reported fluorescence-based temperature-mapping techniques and enables the use of any standard fluorescent labels to monitor in parallel the cell's response.

Abstract
Temperature influences the activities of living organisms at various levels. Cells not only detect environmental temperature changes through their unique temperature-sensitive molecular machineries but also muster an appropriate response to the temperature change to maintain their inherent functions. Despite the fundamental involvement of temperature in physiological phenomena, the mechanism by which cells produce and use heat is largely unknown. Recently, fluorescent thermosensors that function as thermometers in live cells have attracted much attention in biology. These new tools, made of various temperature-sensitive molecules, have allowed for intracellular thermometry at the single-cell level. Intriguing spatiotemporal temperature variations, including organelle-specific thermogenesis, have been revealed with these fluorescent thermosensors, which suggest an intrinsic connection between temperature and cell functions. Moreover, fluorescent thermosensors have shown that intracellular temperature changes at the microscopic level are largely different from those assumed for a water environment at the macroscopic level. Thus, the employment of fluorescent thermosensors will uncover novel mechanisms of intracellular temperature-assisted physiological functions.

Abstract
The development of sustained, long-term endothermy was one of the major transitions in the evolution of vertebrates. Thermogenesis in endotherms does not only occur via shivering or activity, but also via non-shivering thermogenesis (NST). Mammalian NST is mediated by the uncoupling protein 1 in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) and possibly involves an additional mechanism of NST in skeletal muscle. This alternative mechanism is based on Ca2+-slippage by a sarcoplasmatic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) and is controlled by the protein sarcolipin. The existence of muscle based NST has been discussed for a long time and is likely present in all mammals. However, its importance for thermoregulation was demonstrated only recently in mice. Interestingly, birds, which have evolved from a different reptilian lineage than mammals and lack UCP1-mediated NST, also exhibit muscle based NST under the involvement of SERCA, though likely without the participation of sarcolipin. In this review we summarize the current knowledge on muscle NST and discuss the efficiency of muscle NST and BAT in the context of the hypothesis that muscle NST could have been the earliest mechanism of heat generation during cold exposure in vertebrates that ultimately enabled the evolution of endothermy. We suggest that the evolution of BAT in addition to muscle NST was related to heterothermy being predominant among early endothermic mammals. Furthermore, we argue that, in contrast to small mammals, muscle NST is sufficient to maintain high body temperature in birds, which have enhanced capacities to fuel muscle NST by high rates of fatty acid import.

Abstract
A multifunctional nanosystem was synthesized to be used as a dual sensor of UV light and temperature. NaGdF4:Yb3+:Er3+ upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) were synthesized and coated with a silica shell to which a europium(III) complex was incorporated. The synthesis of NaGdF4 UCNPs was performed via thermal decomposition of lanthanide ion fluoride precursors in the presence of oleic acid. To achieve sufficient water dispersibility, the surface of the hydrophobic oleate-capped UCNPs in the hexagonal phase was modified by a silica coating through a modified Stöber process through a reverse microemulsion method. An Eu(tta)3 (tta: thenoyltrifluoroacetonate) complex was prepared in situ at the silica shell. A dual-mode nanothermometer was obtained from a near infrared to visible upconversion fluorescence signal of Er3+ ions together with UV-excited downshifting emission from the Eu3+ complex. Measurements were recorded near the physiological temperature range (293-323 K), revealing excellent linearity (R 2 > 0.99) and relatively high thermal sensitivities (≥1.5%·K-1). The Eu(tta)3 complex present in the silica shell was tested as the UV sensor because of the Eu3+ luminescence dependence on UV-light exposure time.

Abstract
To monitor the temperature distribution of a cell and its changes under varied conditions is currently a technical challenge. A variety of non-contact methods used for measuring cellular temperature have been developed, where changes of local temperature at cell-level and sub-cell-level are indirectly calculated through the changes in intensity, band-shape, bandwidth, lifetime or polarization anisotropy of the fluorescence spectra recorded from the nano-sized fluorescent materials pre-injected into the target cell. Unfortunately, the optical properties of the fluorescent nano-materials may be affected by complicated intracellular environment, leading to unexpected measurement errors and controversial arguments. Here, we attempted to offer an alternative approach for measuring the absolute increments of local temperature in micro-Testing Zones induced by live cells. In this method, built-in high-performance micro-thermocouple arrays and double-stabilized system with a stability of 10 mK were applied. Increments of local temperature close to adherent human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells were continuously recorded for days without stimulus, showing frequent fluctuations within 60 mK and a maximum increment by 285 mK. This method may open a door for real-time recording of the absolute local temperature increments of individual cells, therefore offering valuable information for cell biology and clinical therapy in the field of cancer research.

Abstract
A highly sensitive thermometer system for a living cell is proposed, fabricated, and evaluated. The system possesses a resonant thermal sensor surrounded by vacuum in a microfluidic chip. The measurement principle relies on resonant frequency tracking of the resonator in temperature variations due to the heat from a sample cell; the heat is conducted from the sample cell in the microfluidic channel via a heat guide connecting the resonator to a sample stage. This configuration can reduce heat loss from the resonator to the surroundings and damping in water. Two types of resonators are prepared, i.e., a cantilevered resonator and a double-supported resonator. The resonator sizes as a sensor are 30 × 50 × 1.5 μm in the cantilevered resonator, 30 × 75 × 0.40 μm in the double-supported one, respectively. The temperature and thermal resolutions of 79 μK and 1.90 nW, respectively, are achieved using the double-supported resonator. Two types of heat emissions from single brown fat cells are detected; one is continuous heat generation in the presence of chemical stimulation by a norepinephrine solution, and the other is pulsed without any stimulation.

Abstract
Temperature is a key parameter to regulate cell function, and biochemical reactions inside a cell in turn affect the intracellular temperature. It's vitally necessary to measure cellular temperature to provide sufficient information to fully understand life science, while the conventional methods are incompetent. Over the last decade, many ingenious thermometers have been developed with the help of nanotechnology, and real-time intracellular temperature measurement at the micro/nanoscale has been realized with high temporal-spatial resolution. With the help of these techniques, several mechanisms of thermogenesis inside cells have been investigated, even in subcellular organelles. Here, current developments in cellular thermometers are highlighted, and a picture of their applications in cell biology is presented. In particular, temperature measurement principle, thermometer design and latest achievements are also introduced. Finally, the existing opportunities and challenges in this ongoing field are discussed.
