Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative cancer treatment technique with a noninvasive nature, high selectivity, and minimal adverse effects. The indispensable light source used in PDT is a critical factor in determining the energy conversion of photosensitizers (PSs). Traditional light sources are primarily concentrated in the visible light region, severely limiting their penetration depth and making them prone to scattering and absorption when applied to biological tissues. For that reason, its efficacy in treating deep-seated lesions is often inadequate. Self-exciting PDT, also known as auto-PDT (APDT), is an attractive option for circumventing the limited penetration depth of traditional PDT and has acquired significant attention. APDT employs depth-independent internal light sources to excite PSs through resonance or radiative energy transfer. APDT has considerable potential for treating deep-tissue malignancies. To facilitate many researchers' comprehension of the latest research progress in this field and inspire the emergence of more novel research results. This review introduces internal light generation mechanisms and characteristics and provides an overview of current research progress based on the recently reported APDT nanoplatforms. The current challenges and possible solutions of APDT nanoplatforms are also presented and provide insights for future research in the final section of this article.

Abstract
The chemical reactions underlying the emission of light in fireflies and other bioluminescent beetles are some of the most thoroughly studied processes by scientists worldwide. Despite these remarkable efforts, fierce academic arguments continue around even some of the most fundamental aspects of the reaction mechanism behind the beetle bioluminescence. In an attempt to reach a consensus, we made an exhaustive search of the available literature and compiled the key discoveries on the fluorescence and chemiluminescence spectrochemistry of the emitting molecule, the firefly oxyluciferin, and its chemical analogues reported over the past 50+ years. The factors that affect the light emission, including intermolecular interactions, solvent polarity, and electronic effects, were analyzed in the context of both the reaction mechanism and the different colors of light emitted by different luciferases. The collective data points toward a combined emission of multiple coexistent forms of oxyluciferin as the most probable explanation for the variation in color of the emitted light. We also highlight realistic research directions to eventually address some of the remaining questions related to firefly bioluminescence. It is our hope that this extensive compilation of data and detailed analysis will not only consolidate the existing body of knowledge on this important phenomenon but will also aid in reaching a wider consensus on some of the mechanistic details of firefly bioluminescence.

Abstract
Different fungi lineages are known to emit light on Earth, mainly in tropical climates. Although the preparation of bioluminescent cell-free extracts allowed one to characterize the enzymatic requirements, the molecular mechanism underlying luminescence is still largely unknown and is based on the experimental putative assumption that a high-energy intermediate should be formed by reaction with O2 and formation of an endoperoxide. Here, we aim at determining, through state-of-the-art multiconfigurational quantum chemistry, the full mechanistic landscape leading from the endoperoxide to the emitting species, envisaging different possible pathways and proposing their viability. Especially, thermal CO2 detachment followed by excited-state peroxide opening (thermal-chemiluminescence) can compete with a parallel pathway, i.e., first excited-state endoperoxide opening, followed by CO2 detachment on the same excited-state (excited state-chemiluminescence). Clear differences in the energy supplies, as well as the possibility to directly populate the emitting species from the intersection seam between ground and excited states, land credence to a kinetically efficient thermal-chemiluminescent pathway, establishing for the first time a detailed description of fungal bioluminescence.

Abstract
In the quest for the identification of the light emitter(s) responsible for the firefly bioluminescence, the study of oxyluciferin analogues with controlled chemical and electronic structures is of particular importance. In this article, we report the results of our experimental and computational investigation of the pH-dependent absorption spectra characterizing three analogues bound into the luciferase cavity, together with adenosine-monophosphate (AMP). While the analogue microscopic pKa values do not differ much from their reference values, it turns out that the AMP protonation state is analogue-dependent and never doubly-deprotonated. A careful analysis of the interactions evidences the main role of E344 glutamic acid, as well as the flexibility of the cavity which can accommodate any oxyluciferin analogue. The consideration of the absorption spectra suggests that the oxyluciferin enolate form has to be excluded from the list of the bioluminescence reaction products.
