Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has become the standard care for early-stage breast cancer. The accurate assessment of tumor margins is urgently required for BCS because positive resection margins often lead to local recurrence. To address this clinical dilemma, a Hf(IV)-coordinated NIR-II fluorescence “turn-on” nanoprobe based on the clinically approved NIR-II fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) for intraoperative tumor visualization is developed. Notably, the fluorescence of ICG can be efficiently quenched by Hf(IV) and subsequently recovered in vivo, showing a remarkable fluorescence “quenching-recovery-amplification” capacity. This nanoprobe can effectively accumulate in tumor sites, accurately identifying submillimeter-sized primary and residual tumors with high sensitivity. In addition, subcutaneous, muscle-infiltrating, and orthotopic breast cancer models are built to repeatedly prove that this ultrasensitive nanoprobe is feasible for precise imaging-guided surgery in breast cancer. Overall, this study constructs an activatable fluorescent nanoprobe for real-time intraoperative tumor margin visualization, holding promise for complete surgical resection and reduction of local recurrence.

In the clinical diagnosis and treatment of diseases, there is an urgent need to find suitable materials for real-time temperature monitoring of biological tissues. The paper provides a detailed study of the effects of Nd 3+ doping concentration on the negative thermal expansion performance and NIR fluorescence properties of Sc 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 . The results obtained from Rietveld refinement of in-situ XRD data indicates that high concentration of Nd 3+ doping significantly influences the negative thermal expansion performance of the material, as well as alters the temperature-dependent changes in NIR fluorescence intensity and lifetime. In addition, a NIR fluorescence lifetime temperature probe doped with Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ /Er 3+ has been constructed. When the temperature increased from 303 K to 403 K, the fluorescence intensity of the probe at 1538 nm increased by a factor of 127.5. Furthermore, as the temperature rose from 323 K to 403 K, the fluorescence lifetime of the probe at 1538 nm extended from 41.93 μs to 204 μs. By utilizing the lifetime of Er 3+ for temperature sensing, a relative sensitivity of 6.03%K −1 was achieved at 323 K, indicating significant potential application value of this probe in the field of biological temperature measurement.

It is essential to develop novel multifunctional and easily synthesized stable NIR-II fluorescent probes to guide photothermal therapy for tumors. Here, we propose a new strategy to construct boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) J-aggregates by intermolecular hydrogen bonding (H-bond) and π-π stacking interactions to achieve fluorescence emission in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm). A novel meso -benzamide galactose hexanoate-BODIPY (Gal-OH-BDP) amphiphilic small molecular dye was synthesized and it formed nanoparticles spontaneously in aqueous solution with a maximum emission wavelength near 1060 nm, which works as a smart nanomedicine for targeting NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) of hepatocellular carcinoma. Galactose not only provided hydrogen bonds to regulate the aggregation pattern of the molecules but also effectively targeted hepatocellular carcinoma cells and promoted the formation of well-dispersed nanoparticles of dye molecules due to their hydrophilicity . Moreover, due to high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE = 55%), Gal-OH-BDP NPs achieve galactose-targeted NIR-II imaging and PTT, which is important for the precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors ( Scheme 1 ). In the present research work, H-bond was introduced for the first time into BODIPY for building J-aggregates to achieve the NIR-II fluorescence.

Near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 900–1700 nm) fluorescence imaging as one of the emerging imaging methods has shown the advantages of excellent spatial resolution and sensitivity. In order to obtain high-quality NIR-II fluorescence images and effective treatment results, it is essential to develop theranostic fluorescent nanoprobes with good tumor targeting and treatment capabilities. Herein, we designed and synthesized novel NIR-II fluorescent theranostic nanoprobes based on the organic dye IR783. IR783 was further encapsulated into liposomes, along with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and the cervical cancer-targeting peptide TMTP1 (NVVRQ), to construct integrated nanoprobes for imaging and treatment. The constructed IR-DT nanoprobes, with its good tumor targeting ability, exhibit excellent imaging performance and significant therapeutic effects. With its powerful imaging capabilities, the IR-DT nanoprobes can achieve high-resolution fluorescence imaging of blood vessels, tumor lesions, and sentinel lymph nodes and could dynamically monitor the dissolution of carotid artery thrombi. The treatment results demonstrate that the nanoprobes possess significant advantages in both tumor-targeting capability and therapeutic efficacy. These findings suggest that it holds great potential to be developed into a theranostic nanoprobe for cervical cancer.

Here, we report the first PbS quantum dot (QD)-based micromotors with NIR-I light-driven photocatalytic propulsion and NIR-II fluorescence. Under the irradiation of NIR-I light (808 nm), PbS QD-doped cuprous oxide (Cu2O@PbS) micromotors can display efficient propulsion in a variety of biocompatible fuels such as malic acid, glucose, and urea. Among them, the Cu2O@PbS micromotors exhibit the best propulsion performance in a very low concentration of malic acid, with an average speed as high as 11.86 μm/s. The enhanced NIR-I photocatalytic activity of Cu2O@PbS micromotors benefits from the doping of NIR-I PbS QDs that can be excited by NIR-I light and exhibit high electron transport efficiency. The doped PbS QDs can effectively increase the absorption efficiency of the micromotors in the NIR-I region while also inhibiting the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Interestingly, due to the presence of NIR PbS QDs, the Cu2O@PbS micromotors demonstrate prominent and stable NIR-II fluorescence (emission wavelength: 1100 nm), which offer promising potential for visualization of their position in vivo. In comparison to other photocatalytic micromotors, the simple fabrication strategy, excellent NIR-II fluorescence, together with the NIR-I light-dependent propulsion behavior of the current Cu2O@PbS micromotors, thus pave the way for further development of advanced smart “robots” for intelligent biomedical applications.

Complete excision of the last remaining 1–2% of tumor tissue without collateral damage remains particularly challenging. Herein, we report thiophenthiadiazole (TTD)-derived fluorophores L6-PEGnk (n = 1, 2, 5) as new-generation NIR-II (1000–1700 nm) probes with exceptional nonfouling performance and significantly high fluorescence quantum yields in water. L6-PEG2k can self-assemble into vesicular micelles and exhibited minimal immunogenicity, low binding affinities, ultralong blood circulation (t1/2 = 59.5 h), and a supercontrast ratio in vivo. Most importantly, L6-PEG2k achieved excellent in vivo CT-26 and U87MG tumor targeting and accumulation (>20 d) through intraperitoneal or intravenous injection. A subcutaneous U87MG tumor and orthotopic brain glioma were successfully resected under NIR-II FIGS in our animal model via intraperitoneal injection in an extended time window (48–144 h). This study highlights the potential of using L6-PEG2K as self-assembling molecular probes with long-circulation persistence for routine preoperative tumor assessment and precise intraoperative image-guided resection.

The variation of the integrity of the intestinal barrier is closely related to the occurrence and progression of various diseases, making its accurate detection and monitoring essential to provide reliable information for guiding the refinement of treatment scenarios. Herein, we developed a strategy utilizing glutathione-capped gold clusters (Au-GSH) to achieve simultaneous in vivo second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging and in vitro colorimetric urinalysis for noninvasive detection and monitoring of intestinal barrier integrity. After oral administration, Au-GSH can demonstrate different distribution behaviors in terms of the variation of intestinal barrier integrity. Specifically, Au-GSH could selectively permeate through compromised intestinal barrier to be distributed into the bladder in view of its ultrasmall size below the glomerular filtration cutoff, leading to the rapid excretion through urine. Such process can be visually profiled by collecting NIR-II fluorescence (>1100 nm) emitting from Au-GSH in a noninvasive real-time manner. By virtue of the peroxidase-like activity of Au-GSH, the simple colorimetric urinalysis was further established for evaluating the integrity of the intestinal barrier, advancing the detection and monitoring performance. As a result, our developed strategy successfully detected the damage of intestinal barrier integrity in ulcerative colitis (UC) mice, a common disease characterized by compromised intestinal barrier integrity. Excitingly, the monitoring of restoration of intestinal barrier integrity in both therapeutic and preventative modes for UC mice was also realized by our strategy, making it a promising diagnosis scenario for diseases related to the variation of intestinal barrier integrity.

Nanotheranostics, which can provide great insight into cancer therapy, has been deemed as a promising technology to settle the unmet medical needs. The rational design of high performance nanotheranostics with multiple complementary imaging features and satisfactory therapeutic efficacy is particularly valuable. Herein, versatile nanotheranostic agents DPPB-Gd-I NPs were fabricated by using gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid chelates and an iodine-decorated copolymer as encapsulation matrixes to encapsulate a polymer DPPB through one-step nanoprecipitation. We have demonstrated that such nanoagents are able to efficiently damage tumors under single dose injection and NIR laser illumination conditions due to the enhanced photodynamic therapy and enhanced photothermal therapy (the tumor inhibition rate was as high as 94.5%). Moreover, these nanoagents can be utilized as dual-modal NIR-II fluorescence/magnetic resonance imaging probes for tumor diagnosis with high sensitivity, deep tissue penetration, and excellent spatial resolution. Overall, this work offers a powerful tactic to fabricate high performance nanotheranostics for clinical application.

On-demand delivery of drug to deep tumor tissues with long-term tumor retention has directly influence on therapeutic efficiency and prognosis of patients, which still remains challenge in cancer therapy. Here we introduce metallo-supramolecular nanoflowers through multi-drugs and metal coordination effect for near-infrared (NIR) or acidic-triggered multi-drugs release, long-term accumulation at tumor tissues and NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided photo-chemotherapy. The nanoflowers (refer to ICG⊃EDOX) are constructed by (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), Cu 2+ ions, indocyanine green (ICG) and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) through coordination effect, π-π stacking and hydrophobic force. Due to strong intermolecular interaction, the ICG⊃EDOX is superior stable in physiological conditions, while releases DOX/ICG on-demand upon the acidic/NIR laser irradiation. Moreover, ICG⊃EDOX could penetrate deep tumor tissues with ultralong tumor retention (>8 d) by microvesicle (MVs)-mediated intercellular interaction. Irradiated by 808 nm laser, the higher NIR-II fluorescence signal from ICG⊃EDOX in tumors can effectively guide local phototherapy, and the synergistic therapeutic efficiency of nanoflowers with completely elimination of tumors is achieved in comparison with DOX or DOX/ICG treated 4T1-bearing mice . Overall, the excellent therapeutic effect of nanoflowers may hold great promise for the clinic translation.

ABSTRACT Radiotherapy plays a critical role in the clinical treatment of breast cancer. However, the efficacy of traditional X-ray radiotherapy is greatly limited by its low tumor specificity and treatment tolerance mediated by the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we proposed a novel nano-radiotherapy sensitization strategy to design and construct a cancer cell membrane-coated siRNA-decorated Au/MnO 2 nanosensitizer (R&F@Au/MnO 2 -CM) to synergistically enhance radio-immunotherapy for breast cancer. In the integrated nanosensitizer, the cancer cell membrane (CM) derived from 4T1 breast cancer cells is utilized for targeted functionality, while Au/MnO 2 is designed to improve X-ray absorption and alleviate tumor hypoxia. Additionally, PD-L1 siRNA (R) is used to downregulate PD-L1 expression in tumor cells. In an in situ mouse model of 4T1 breast cancer, R&F@Au/MnO 2 -CM demonstrated accurate tumor identification via CM-mediated homologous targeting after intravenous injection, which was monitored in real-time through NIR-II fluorescence imaging of NIR-935 (F). Subsequently, the radiotherapy sensitivity was achieved due to the strong radiation absorption properties and oxygen generation through catalysis of Au/MnO 2 upon X-ray irradiation. Furthermore, the immunosuppressive microenvironment of the tumor is improved by downregulating PD-L1, enhancing synergistic anti-tumor effect. Our findings demonstrate a promising approach for tumor treatment by combining targeted enhanced radiotherapy with immune activation.

Fallopian tube blockage-related diseases are the main cause of female infertility. Diagnosis of tubal patency and accurate determination of tubal obstruction lesions is of great value for infertility treatment. Conventionally, the common used hysterosalpingogram (HSG) has the disadvantages of radioactive hazard and high false positive rate. Thus, the development of a safe and accurate method which can replace traditional HSG for tubal patency diagnosis is urgently needed. Recently, fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II) was widely used in in-vivo imaging research due to its excellent tissue penetration and signal-to noise ratio. With the aid of fluorescence agents, NIR-II imaging has the potential to diagnose tubal patency, which, unfortunately, has not been explored. Herein, a kind of rare-earth Erbium-based nanoprobe (Er-RENPs) with outstanding NIR-II fluorescence property was synthesized. Based on the Er-RENPs, the potential of NIR-II fluorescence imaging was explored. Results show that the outline of fallopian tubes can be clearly visualized with the help of Er-RENPs. And the stenotic, occlusive fallopian tubes and hydrosalpinx can be diagnosed. Additionally, the Er-RENPs exhibit good biocompatibility. In this study, we reported that NIR-II rare-earth fluorescent nanoprobe can serve as a promising fluorescent agent, and exhibits considerable potential application for tubal diagnosis.

Near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) luminescent materials are essential for NIR spectroscopy applications, including biometrics, night vision imaging, and chemical composition analysis. However, achieving thermally stable and ultra-broadband emission under ultraviolet-to-visible (UV–Vis) excitation remains a significant challenge. In this work, a high-efficiency NIR-II phosphor was reported by codoping Cr³⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions into the LiGaSiO₄ lattice, where Cr³⁺ serves as a sensitizer and Ni²⁺ acts as the primary emitter. Owing to the strong absorption of Cr³⁺ in the violet region and its efficient energy transfer to Ni²⁺, the LiGaSiO₄:Cr³⁺/Ni²⁺ phosphor exhibits intense NIR-II emission under 419 nm excitation, with a peak centered at 1250 nm and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 227 nm. The material also demonstrates excellent thermal stability, retaining 73.3 % of its luminescence intensity at 393 K. Using a commercial 405 nm LED as the excitation source and a custom-engineered NIR-II spectroscopic detection platform, this phosphor enables functional group-specific differentiation of organic solvents and facilitates quantitative analysis of ethanol–water and NaCl–water binary systems across a broad concentration range. These findings highlight the potential of LiGaSiO₄:Cr 3+ /Ni 2+ as a robust NIR-II probe for next-generation portable sensing technologies, paving the way for the practical deployment of NIR-II photonics systems in industrial and biomedical applications.
