Abstract
Glioma is the most common intracranial malignant tumor, with severe difficulty in treatment and a low patient survival rate. Due to the heterogeneity and invasiveness of tumors, lack of personalized clinical treatment design, and physiological barriers, it is often difficult to accurately distinguish gliomas, which dramatically affects the subsequent diagnosis, imaging treatment, and prognosis. Fortunately, nano-delivery systems have demonstrated unprecedented capabilities in diagnosing and treating gliomas in recent years. They have been modified and surface modified to efficiently traverse BBB/BBTB, target lesion sites, and intelligently release therapeutic or contrast agents, thereby achieving precise imaging and treatment. In this review, we focus on nano-delivery systems. Firstly, we provide an overview of the standard and emerging diagnostic and treatment technologies for glioma in clinical practice. After induction and analysis, we focus on summarizing the delivery methods of drug delivery systems, the design of nanoparticles, and their new advances in glioma imaging and treatment in recent years. Finally, we discussed the prospects and potential challenges of drug-delivery systems in diagnosing and treating glioma.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), brain tumors, strokes, and other important diseases that are harmful and fatal to human beings. CNS diseases have the characteristics of high fatality rates, difficult diagnosis, and costly treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of CNS diseases by molecular imaging are usually limited by the depth of tissue penetration and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, it is still a huge challenge to distinguish between the lesion and the surrounding parenchymal boundary with high sensitivity and specificity. Compared with traditional fluorophores with aggregation-caused quenching effect, luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics have strong near-infrared deep penetration, large Stokes shift, excellent biocompatibility, light stability, and desirable BBB permeability. In view of this, developing novel AIE-based materials for diagnostics and theranostics of CNS diseases is promising and of great significance. Herein, we highlight the recent research progress in this field with a special focus on near-infrared imaging and AIE nanorobots for CNS diseases. The design principle of AIE probes is discussed in detail, and the outlook is presented as well.

Abstract
Cancer remains a serious threat to human health owing to the lack of effective treatments. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising non-invasive cancer treatment that consists of three main elements: photosensitizers (PSs), light and oxygen. However, some traditional PSs are prone to aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), leading to reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-PSs, due to their distorted structure, suppress the strong molecular interactions, making them more photosensitive in the aggregated state instead. Activated by light, they can efficiently produce ROS and induce cell death. PS is one of the core factors of efficient PDT, so proceeding from the design and preparation of AIE-PSs, including how to manipulate the electron donor (D) and receptor (A) in the PSs configuration, introduce heavy atoms or metal complexes, design of Type I AIE-PSs, polymerization-enhanced photosensitization and nano-engineering approaches. Then, the preclinical experiments of AIE-PSs in treating different types of tumors, such as ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and its great potential clinical applications are discussed. In addition, some perspectives on the further development of AIE-PSs are presented. This review hopes to stimulate the interest of researchers in different fields such as chemistry, materials science, biology, and medicine, and promote the clinical translation of AIE-PSs.
