Background Therapy with genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has clinical translation promise. Optimizing the targeting migratory ability of MSCs relies on accurate imaging of the distribution and extravasation kinetics of MSCs, and the corresponding imaging results could be used to predict therapeutic outcomes and guide the optimization of the treatment program. Among the different imaging modalities, second near-infrared (NIR-II) optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) has merits, including a fine resolution, a deep penetration, a high sensitivity, and a large signal-to-background ratio. It would be an ideal candidate for precise monitoring of MSCs, although it has not been tested for this purpose so far. Results Penetrating peptide-decorated conjugated polymer nanoparticles (TAT-CPNPs) with strong NIR-II absorbance were used to label chemokine-receptor genetically modified MSCs, which were subsequently evaluated under intravital NIR-II OR-PAM regarding their targeting migratory ability. Based on the upregulation of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 in the inflamed ears of contact hypersensitivity mice, MSCs with overexpression of corresponding receptor, chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (Cxcr3) were successfully generated (MSC Cxcr3 ). TAT-CPNPs labeling enabled NIR-II photoacoustic imaging to discern MSC Cxcr3 covered by 1.2 cm of chicken breast tissue. Longitudinal OR-PAM imaging revealed enhanced inflammation-targeting migration of MSC Cxcr3 over time attributed to Cxcr3 gene modification, which was further validated by histological analysis. Conclusions TAT-CPNPs-assisted NIR-II PA imaging is promising for monitoring distribution and extravasation kinetics of MSCs, which would greatly facilitate optimizing MSC-based therapy.

Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets (NSs) have been widely explored as nanoagents for multimodal cancer therapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) combined with chemodynamic therapy (CDT). However, it is still a challenge to prepare 2D NSs with good performance in both CDT and NIR-II PTT. Here, we report the preparation of ultrathin 2D CuFe 2 S 3 NSs as an efficient nanoagent for synergistic CDT and NIR-II PTT to ablate cancer cells/tumors. Ultrathin 2D CuFe 2 S 3 NSs are first prepared by sulfurization of ultrathin CuFe-LDH NSs via a simple hydrothermal treatment. After modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG), the PEG-modified CuFe 2 S 3 NSs (CuFe 2 S 3 -PEG) show broadband NIR-II absorption and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (~55.86%) at 1064 nm. Moreover, the overproduced glutathione in the tumor microenvironment can react with CuFe 2 S 3 -PEG NSs to release Fe 2+ and Cu + , thus activating Fenton reaction to efficiently produce hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Importantly, the photothermal effect of CuFe 2 S 3 -PEG could further synergistically improve the Fenton reaction by increasing the local temperature. In vitro and in vivo results reveal that the CuFe 2 S 3 -PEG has remarkable synergistic CDT/PTT antitumor activity. This study has proven that the metal chalcogenide NSs of CuFe 2 S 3 -PEG can be used as an efficient nanoagent for multimodal cancer therapies, which could also be promising in other applications like biosensors, drug delivery and antibacterial.

D2O plays important roles in a variety of fields (such as the nuclear industry and bioorganic analysis), and thus its isotopic purity (H2O contents) is highly concerned. Due to its highly similar physical properties to H2O and large excess amounts of H2O over D2O, it is challenging to distinguish D2O from H2O. On the basis of the characteristic NIR-II phosphorescence of singlet oxygen (1O2), and the fact that H2O is a more efficient quencher for 1O2 than D2O, here, we proposed to simply use the 1275 nm emission of 1O2 for the analysis of the isotopic purity of D2O. In normal cases (a xenon lamp for excitation), such steady-state emission is extremely weak for valid analytical applications, we thus employed laser excitation for intensification. To this goal, a series of photosensitizers were screened, and eventually polythiophene PT10 was selected with high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ = 0.51), high H2O/D2O contrast, and excellent photostability. Upon excitation with a 445 nm laser, a limit of detection (LOD, 3σ) of 0.1% for H2O in D2O was achieved. The accuracy of the proposed method was verified by the analysis of the isotopic purity of several D2O samples (with randomly added H2O). More interestingly, the hygroscopicity of D2O was sensitively monitored with the proposed probe in a real-time manner; the results of which are important for strengthening the care of D2O storage and the importance of humidity control during related investigations. Besides D2O isotopic purity evaluation, this work also indicated the potential usefulness of the NIR-II emission of singlet oxygen in future analytical detection.

Malignant glioblastoma (GBM) is prone to relapse due to the inevitable tumor cells residue by surgery. During the tumor resection surgery in brain, addressing bleeding and superbug infections is also full of challenges. Currently, no method or material in clinical craniotomy can simultaneously solve these three problems. Herein, Chitosan composite nanofibers embedded with CuSe nanoparticles were prepared by green electrospinning method, in which the CuSe nanoparticles have strong absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window. Immediately after removing the tumor in craniotomy, nanofibers were electrospun and deposited directly onto the resection site with high precision (> 90%) to achieve rapid hemostasis (< 8 s). Moreover, evidenced by the deeper penetration depth of NIR-II light (1064 nm) both in the scalp and skull than NIR-I light (808 nm), photothermal and photodynamic therapy induced by NIR-II exhibits efficient superbug-killing rate (> 99%) and effectively induces cell apoptosis of residual tumor thereby to inhibit tumor recurrence. Only using the same material, a trilogy of intracranial hemostasis, killing superbug and residual cancer cells is simultaneously achieved. The short operation time reduces the risk of craniotomy. This electrospinning strategy could combine with craniotomy and minimally invasive surgery, which may provide novel perspectives in clinical operation besides craniotomy. Graphical abstract

Focused ultrasound (FUS)-induced blood–brain barrier (BBB) opening is crucial for enhancing glioblastoma (GBM) therapies. However, an in vivo imaging approach with a high spatial–temporal resolution to monitor the BBB opening process in situ and synchronously is still lacking. Herein, we report the use of indocyanine green (ICG)-dopped microbubbles (MBs-ICG) for visualizing the FUS-induced BBB opening and enhancing the photothermal therapy (PTT) against GBM. The MBs-ICG show bright fluorescence in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II), ultrasound contrast, and ultrasound-induced size transformation properties. By virtue of complementary contrast properties, MBs-ICG can be successfully applied for cerebral vascular imaging with NIR-II fluorescence resolution of ∼168.9 μm and ultrasound penetration depth of ∼7 mm. We further demonstrate that MBs-ICG can be combined with FUS for in situ and synchronous visualization of the BBB opening with a NIR-II fluorescence signal-to-background ratio of 6.2 ± 1.2. Finally, our data show that the MBs-ICG transform into lipid-ICG nanoparticles under FUS irradiation, which then rapidly penetrate the tumor tissues within 10 min and enhance PTT in orthotopic GBM-bearing mice. The multifunctional MBs-ICG approach provides a novel paradigm for monitoring BBB opening and enhancing GBM therapy.

The precise control of the assembly structure and size of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) can potentially amplify their near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging and targeting properties. However, the conventional electrostatic assembly of AuNCs and charged molecules faces challenges in balancing the inherent electrostatic repulsions among charged units and regulating the diffusion of assembly units. These difficulties limit precise control over assembly size and structure, along with limited options for coassembled molecules, thereby restricting imaging properties and targeting capability. To circumvent this challenge, we developed a reverse emulsion-confined electrostatic assembly method. This technique efficiently constructs AuNC nanoassemblies with diverse coassembled molecules, allowing for the fine-tuning of assembly size and structure, including both core–satellite and homogeneous AuNC nanoassemblies. The development of two distinct nanoassemblies can be partially attributed to the varying diffusive rates of AuNCs or the AuNCs/polymer complex within the fused emulsion droplets. This variance arises from steric hindrances encountered during the emulsion fusion process. Interestingly, core–satellite nanoassemblies exhibit the strongest NIR-II fluorescence enhancement. Finally, the introduction of a hyaluronic acid coating on the surfaces of nanoassemblies with varying sizes enables the nanoprobes to achieve enhanced lymph node imaging through size modulation and macrophage targeting, which are used for surgical navigation to remove lymph node metastases. We envision that this self-assembly strategy can be extended to a wide range of electrostatic assembly systems for the development of multicomponent functional materials.

Near-infrared second region (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging provides enhanced tissue penetration, achieving efficient NIR-II fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging (PA)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) all in one material remains a challenging yet promising approach in cancer treatment. Herein, open-shell V═O metalloradical complex (VONc) is self-assembled into VONc nanospheres (VONc NPs). VONc NPs exhibit light absorption from 300 to 1400 nm, fluorescence spectra ranging from 900 to 1400 nm, and a distinct fluorescence signal even at 1550 nm. Moreover, VONc NPs exhibit outstanding photostability and a higher photothermal conversion efficiency of 46.6% than that of closed-shell zinc naphthalocyanine nanorods (ZnNc NRs). V═O centered metalloradical serves as transient electron-withdrawing groups to facilitate charge transfer (CT), introducing additional nonradiative energy dissipation pathways and enhancing efficient heat generation. In vitro experiments of VONc NPs indicate that a highly effective photothermal action causes harm to both mitochondria and lysosomes, resulting in the death of tumor cells, closed-shell ZnNc NPs exhibit almost no cell killing as contrast. In vivo anti-tumor therapy results of VONc NPs demonstrate excellent NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT against tumors with a favorable biosafety profile. “Centered metalloradical boosting CT” toward open-shell metal complexes provides significant insight for developing single-material integrated nanosystems for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents a strongly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which enables tumor cells to evade immune cell attacks and hinder effective drug killing, thereby hindering the achievement of the desired therapeutic effect. In response, a novel nanoplatform- AuHNR@γ-Fe 2 O 3 @Lenvatinib@β-Glucan (AFLG) with surface modified β-1,3-glucan is developed, which exhibits potent immunostimulatory effect and the capability of repolarizing macrophages, to counteract the immunosuppressive conditions present in the tumor microenvironment. Leveraging the hollow structure of gold nanorods, Lenvatinib is efficiently loaded, a first-line targeted drug for HCC, which effectively inhibits tumor angiogenesis. Additionally, through atomic layer deposition, γ-Fe 2 O 3 is generated on the hollow gold nanorod surface, endowing it with chemodynamic therapy and magnetic resonance T 2 -weighted imaging capabilities while excellently maintaining the gold nanorod's superior photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging properties under 1064 nm excitation. These AFLG NPs feature dual-modal imaging and quadruple-modal synergistic therapy capabilities, along with their powerful potential in remodeling the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, offering an encouraging novel approach for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

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.

The development of high-performance narrowband near-infrared second window (NIR-II) phosphors remains a critical challenge in the fields of advanced bioimaging and optical thermometry. Herein, a series of Mn 5+ -doped ABaPO 4 (A = Li, Na, K) phosphors are synthesized via conventional solid-state method, and the effect of A-site alkali metal cations on their crystal structure and luminescence properties is comparatively investigated. Mn K -edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy unambiguously confirms that Mn ions are predominantly stabilized in the +5 oxidation state and exclusively occupy tetrahedral [PO 4 ] sites in all three hosts. All samples exhibit characteristic narrowband NIR-II emission in the 1160-1200 nm range originating from the 1 E → 3 A 2 spin-forbidden transition of Mn 5+ . The lattice distortion induced by different A-site cations significantly modulates the doping limit, crystal field strength, thermal stability and temperature sensing performance of Mn 5+ ions. All three Mn 5+ -doped hosts exhibit good thermal stability. The fluorescence decay lifetime of LiBaPO 4 : Mn 5+ reaches 772.436 μs NaBaPO 4 : Mn 5+ shows unique energy level splitting and achieves a maximum relative temperature sensitivity of 2.43% K −1 based on the fluorescence intensity ratio technique. KBaPO 4 : Mn 5+ possesses a highly symmetric crystal lattice and a higher doping limit, with a thermal quenching activation energy ( ΔE ) of 0.414 eV. This work not only provides three promising NIR-II phosphors for bioimaging and optical thermometry, but also offers new insights into the research of Mn 5+ -activated phosphate systems.

Green-Synthesized Scaffolds for Smart Hydrogels. Green-synthesized quaternized chitosan (QCS) represents an ideal macromolecular backbone for constructing functional hydrogels, driven by its structural tunability, excellent aqueous solubility, and intrinsic cationic nature. Unlike native chitosan, the targeted introduction of quaternary ammonium groups endows QCS with a permanent positive charge. This modification not only enhances its degradation but also confers superior antibacterial efficacy and mucoid hesiveness. By leveraging QCS as a versatile scaffold to rationally design polysaccharide-based hydrogels with tailored physicochemical and biological profiles, this work provides a sustainable and highly effective platform for advancing next-generation bioactive materials. • Sol-Gel transition and enhanced antibacterial performance. Macrocyclic host TEBox markedly improves EGCG’s (guest) water solubility and antibacterial effect via host-guest interactions. It also effectively drives the Sol-Gel transition of QCS-EC Sol, finally enabling the preparation of bacteria-responsive multifunctional injectable hydrogel (MQCEC-TEB Gel). This gel has excellent skin adhesion and promotes cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. • Real-Time, Visual Infection Monitoring. Key innovation: a chaotropic effect-based bacteria-responsive agent (TEBox-B 12 ). When exposed to bacteria, TEBox-B 12 undergoes in situ reduction to generate stable organic radicals, causing rapid visible color change (pale yellow to deep purple). This provides a revolutionary tool for early, non-invasive, real-time infection diagnosis. • Synergistic Anti-infection Therapy for Deep Tissue. Radicals from the above reaction not only enable color development but also have strong NIR-II absorption, allowing the hydrogel to achieve deep-tissue photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) antibacterial therapy. NIR-II light penetrates deeper into tissue, overcoming traditional phototherapy limitations. This study presents a new smart dressing and "diagnosis-and-therapy integration" strategy, offering a new paradigm for managing invasive infection wounds. Smart hydrogel dressings with sustained wound-healing promotion and infection-monitoring capabilities demonstrate significant potential for invasive infection wound repair. Inspired by mussels, a highly adhesive and multifunctional injectable antibacterial hydrogel dressing (MQCEC-TEB Gel) was developed for wound repair and real-time infection monitoring, comprising a viscous hydrogel scaffold (QCS-EC) and a bacteria-responsive agent (TEBox-B 12 ) crosslinked via host-guest interaction. The epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was incorporated into quaternized chitosan (QCS) enhancing the viscosity of QCS and forming the QCS-EC scaffold by hydrogen bonding, providing sustained antibacterial activity and promoting wound-healing. Meanwhile, the bacteria-responsive agent TEBox-B 12 self-assembles via a chaotropic effect between box-shaped quaternized pyridinium salt (TEBox) and the superchaotropic anion B 12 H 12 2− . Upon bacterial exposure, TEBox-B 12 underwent in situ reduction, generating stable organic radicals that trigger a rapid visible color change from pale yellow to deep purple for real-time infection monitoring. The resulting radicals also exhibit strong NIR-II absorption, enabling deep-tissue photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) antibacterial therapy. The host-guest interactions between TEBox of TEBox-B 12 and EGCG on QCS-EC improves the water solubility and antibacterial efficiency of EGCG, facilitating Sol-Gel transition to form the injectable MQCEC-TEB Gel platform. This system synergistically integrates host-guest interaction, NIR-II PDT, and PTT to efficiently eradicate deep-tissue bacteria and promote wound healing, offering a novel multimodal strategy for early diagnosis, non-invasive monitoring and treatment of invasive infection wounds.

Cr 3+ emission can well cover the NIR-I region (700–950 nm), while Ni 2+ emission typically extends across the NIR-II region (1000–1700 nm), making the Cr 3+ –Ni 2+ co-doped phosphors among the most promising ultrabroadband NIR emitters for phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). However, a pronounced gap or even spectral discontinuity between the two emission bands results in a severely imbalanced photon flux across the spectrum, thereby degrading multicomponent spectral detection accuracy and significantly limiting the practical applications of such NIR pc-LED devices. Here, we report a superstoichiometric spinel MgO· n Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ ,Ni 2+ ( n > 1) phosphor, in which the excess Ga 2 O 3 increases the degree of cation inversion to achieve a long-wavelength Cr 3+ emission at 895 nm, substantially elevating the spectral gap height to a state-of-the-art value of ≈36%. Moreover, efficient energy transfer from Cr 3+ to Ni 2+ enables the optimized MgO·1.2Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ ,Ni 2+ phosphor to demonstrate a high internal quantum efficiency of 97% and excellent thermal stability. Finally, the as-fabricated NIR pc-LED delivers an exceptional photoelectric efficiency of 21% at 20 mA and a maximum NIR output power of 62 mW at 350 mA. This work establishes a new pathway toward next-generation compact ultrabroadband NIR pc-LEDs featuring unprecedented spectral flatness and superior optoelectronic performance.
